West indicted for accident 8-year old killed on Log Bay Day

Candidates spar in final NY21 debate

Final showdown sees candidates offer sharp contrasts as they try to close the deal just two weeks before election day

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Two weeks before voters head to the polls, the candidates for New York’s 21st Congressional District debated for the third and final time in Plattsburgh on Monday.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is facing a challenge from Mike Derrick, a Democrat, and Matt Funiciello, the Green Party candidate.

In a debate sponsored by Mountain Lake PBS, which aired across the 12-county district, the candidates sought to define themselves and offer contrasts in what may be the final time for voters.

The terrain covered largely familiar territory: Each candidate discussed trade, student loan relief, health care, economic and environmental policies, as well as the role of money in politics and their thoughts on the presidential election.

ConstructionÊ underwayÊ onÊ newÊ Wbg.Ê firehouse garage

WARRENSBURG — Initial work has begun on constructing a new firehouse garage for the Warrensburg Fire District.

Pouring concrete for the foundation of the garage, located just south of the existing firehouse, began last week. Materials for the metal building are expected to be delivered to the site in about a week. The new building, measuring 96 feet by 90 feet, is to be connected to the existing firehouse with a breezeway.

Construction of the garage, featuring bays designed to accommodate modern firefighting vehicles, should be complete by the first week in January, according to Warrensburg Fire Company President Kevin Geraghty.

In January, residents of the Warrensburg Fire District — which includes a northern portion of the town of Lake George — voted 86-2 in favor of borrowing up to $1.61 million for >> See FIREHOUSE | pg. 12

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES On climate change, Derrick criticized Stefanik for her environmental voting record — the lawmaker has a 9 percent score by the League of Conservation Voters, Derrick noted — and said if elected, he would pursue a national energy policy that would wean the country off fossil fuels in favor of green power.

“How she has voted, and what she says are entirely different,” Derrick said.

Stefanik, first elected in 2014, has brushed off the criticisms as a “scorecard from Washington, D.C.” and said the district needs to focus on a balanced approach to environmental

issues while also being mindful of economic growth.

The lawmaker said she supports solar and wind energy tax credits to bolster renewable energy sources.

“We need to pursue policies that will not raise our energy prices, which are costly, particularly for our seniors in this district,” Stefanik said. “We need to find a balanced approach to tackle our long-term environmental issues while protecting our domestic economy.”

Grand jury indicts West on charges of manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide Charges stem from Log Bay Day boating accident; claimed life of 8-yr. old

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY — The Lake George man law enforcement officials blame for a July hit-and-run boat crash on Lake George that killed an 8-year-old girl has been indicted by a Warren County grand jury on 12 criminal charges, including criminally negligent homicide, vehicular manslaughter, vehicular assault, manslaughter and possession of cocaine.

Alexander M. West is accused of operating a boat recklessly while impaired with drugs and alcohol in a July 25 collision in which Charlotte McCue was killed and her mother, Courtney McCue, was seriously injured. The indictment, handed up Oct. 24, consists of eight felony charges, three misdemeanors and a violation.

The McCues, of Carlsbad Cal., were passengers along with five family members near Cramer Point on a leisurely evening cruise in her grandfather’s 28-foot antique wooden boat, when a power boat piloted by West hit the wooden boat and flew up and over the middle of it where the girl and her mother were riding, police said. The girl died from her injuries, and her mother was hospitalized.

Police have said that despite the collision and resulting screams from passengers in the antique wooden boat, West immediately started up his stalled, damaged craft — and he and his four passengers fled the scene, parking the boat at a dock, summoned a

ride, and West hid from police overnight, authorities said.

The four passengers in West’s boat were arrested on misdemeanor charges accusing them of lying to police and impeding the investigation.

Authorities have said that prior to the crash, West and his friends had for about 8 hours attended Log Bay Day, an annual mass boat party renowned for its drinking, substance abuse and rowdy behavior, according to witnesses’ statements.

Blood samples taken from the West the morning following the crash indicate he had taken drugs before he was apprehended, Warren County Sheriff Bud York said at an August press conference. He said toxicology tests of blood samples taken about 14 hours after the crash showed that West had ingested three different classes of drugs at some point before his parents brought him to police the following morning. York had said that two of the drugs indicated in the blood tests were illegal.

Tests for alcohol in blood samples taken from West July 26 did not test positive, but authorities have said that the 14-hour delay in West’s apprehension may have allowed alcohol to dissipate and become non-detectable.

Until this week, West — free on $100,000 bail — was only facing charges of leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

He’s now facing a felony charges of second-degree manslaughter, second-degree assault, second-degree vehicular manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide; one felony charge each of first and degree vehicular assault; two felony counts of leaving the scene of an accident without reporting; a misdemeanor count of boat-

ing while ability impaired by drugs; a violation of boating while impaired by alcohol; a misdemeanor count of reckless operation of a vessel; and a misdemeanor charge of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

West’s arraignment on the new charges was scheduled occur Wednesday Oct. 26 in Warren County Court.

The most serious new charge, seconddegree manslaughter, can alone prompt a sentence of 5 to 15 years in state prison.

Local municipalities have passed resolutions to end Log Bay Day, and local government officials have met with executives of the Lake George Park Commission and law enforcement authorities to determine how to end the event, notorious for its raucous and lawless behavior.

‘Radium Girl’ movie shot in Lake George, Glens Falls 1920s-era film depicts story of female factory workers fighting to recover medical costs after using deadly luminescent paint

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — For several days last week, dozens of actors in 1920s-era costumes were seen at Lake George’s Old County Courthouse and stepping into antique vehicles parked on Canada St., as scenes of the feature film “Radium Girls” was being shot in Lake George.

Segments of the historical film were also shot in Ushers Park and the Wiawaka Center for Women retreat — both in Lake George — as well as the historic Shirt Factory artists complex and Haviland Cove in Glens Falls.

Both Canada St. in Lake George and Lawrence St. were temporarily closed off to traffic to accommodate the respective filming sessions.

“Radium Girls” depicts the fate of the female factory workers who from 1917 through the late 1920s painted the luminescent dials of watches and instruments.

Told by their employers that the radioactive paint was

harmless, they routinely licked their fine paintbrushes to sharpen their points — and they ingested fatal doses of radium. Their employers, however, knew that the radium-containing paint was deadly.

The film explores the suffering of the women and the lawsuit they undertook in the late 1920s to recover staggering medical costs — as they were dying. The case is credited with establishing a legal precedents concerning individual workers suing their employers, and it prompted adoption of labor safety standards.

The Wiawaka Center for Women was a fitting place for scenes to be filmed, as the venue — originally called the Wiawaka Holiday House — was founded in the early 1900s as a retreat for women factory workers.

Radium Girls has won two grants totaling $150,000 — including the New York University/Alfred P. Sloan production grant.

Directing the film is NYU graduate Virginia Mohler, who also wrote the screenplay along with Brittany Shaw.

“The Radium Girls are more than a cautionary tale,” Mohler said in a posting on social media. “They are an inspiration for workers and consumers everywhere to question the facts we take for granted.”

Mohler continues with a contemporary warning.

“In today’s consumer-driven marketplace, new products and technologies are introduced every day, and long-term

health and environmental impacts are often only understood in retrospect — when it’s too late.”

The film is being produced by Cine Mosaic, a boutique production company established by Lydia Dean Pilcher who has been nominated for an Academy Award for other work.

Phone inquiries to production crew members were not returned.

At the October Lake George town board meeting, town supervisor Dennis Dickinson noted that the production assistants objected to the music that emanated from the balcony of Duffy’s Tavern on Oct. 15, as it interfered with the filming of the film across Amherst St. in the Old County Courthouse.

The film crew members asked local officials to silence it, which they declined to do because it was a prime fall Saturday for Duffy’s.

“It was a beautiful weekend and the restaurant was twothirds full,” Dickinson said, noting the film crew had not made their filming requirements for silence known beforehand.

Dickinson added that he heard the movie — which includes some local residents as actors in minor roles and as extras — is to be screened at an upcoming edition of the Sundance Film Festival.

“The Radium Girls’ production crew considered a lot of venues, and I’m pleased they chose Lake George,” Dickinson said.

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

In addition, 16 businesses on Main St. in North Creek will be offering treats for children as well as discounted wares or beverages for adults.

Headlining the event will be a fire-eating sword swallower featured on America’s Got Talent — Riley Schillaci, one of the few female sword-swallowers in the world. She will be featured in three shows — two that are family friendly at 5 p.m. and 7:15 p.m., and one that’s adults-only from 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

These shows will be presented on the fest’s “Main Stage,” on Main St. beside the Staples law office across from Tops supermarket.

Event co-organizers Julie Wolfe and Brooke Leigh said Nightmare on Main Street grew out of their shared enthusiasm for Halloween.

“Brooke and I are Halloween fanatics, and we asked each other ‘Why we don’t we have something huge in North Creek for Halloween’ — and the conversation turned into reality,”

Julie Wolfe said. “Now, we’re super-excited about this event — it’s a big deal.”

Brooke Leigh said the event could grow in future years into a weekend full of activities.

“We’re expecting this event to bring the community together,” she said.

Glenn Pearsall also generously offered to spearhead an endowment campaign, working in conjunction with Tannery Pond’s Board of Directors. He will be contacting other leaders in the community and asking them to join him in this exciting new initiative.

Stec, Barkenhagen debate in vote for State Assembly Assemblyman, challenger discuss issues in first and only televised debate for Assembly District 114

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

SARATOGA SPRINGS — State Assemblyman Dan Stec and his Green Party opponent, Robin Barkenhagen, discussed public campaign financing, the state’s heroin epidemic and other issues in the first and only televised debate for Assembly District 114 last week.

Barkenhagen said he is in favor of public financing of elections, arguing it is necessary to level the playing field for third-party candidates.

A system like that in Maine, which allows candidates to access a matching funding system with enough $5 donations, would also allow more discussion of the issues, Barkenhagen said.

Barkenhagen, a Glens Falls businessman, said public financing would also cut down on corruption and also called for public airtime for ballot-qualified candidates.

“I think ultimately having publicly-funded elections would save the taxpayers of New York State money,” he said.

Stec disagrees: New York City’s matching system, he said, hasn’t cured the city of corruption and ethical problems. He also said the system makes it easier for “straw candidates” to create races.

“It’s not necessarily a panacea to solve the problems,” Stec said.

The statewide cost could also be in the hundreds of millions, he said.

Stec, a Republican, also said the petition process requires candidates to collect signatures proportional to the number of enrolled voters in each party.

Public financing wouldn’t be fair to candidates who have larger numbers of dedication and support, he said.

“Should a party that has 300 members be given the same level playing field status as a party that has 30,000 members?” he said.

Stec, first elected in 2012, also criticized Barkenhagen for asking taxpayers to foot the bill when he hedged on asking his own friends and family members for campaign contributions.

No one likes raising money, Stec said. But if you cannot ask friends and family members for donations, how can you stand up on the floor of the Assembly and challenge the speaker?

“This is a leadership question as well,” Stec said.

Barkenhagen said, “Asking for money for me is a totally different thing than asking for support on issues.”

“I didn’t go to that list and I didn’t follow through on it,”

BUY IT! SELL IT! FIND IT! 518-585-9173 Ext. 115 “We’re more than a newspaper, we’re a community service.”

Barkenhagen admitted. “Ultimately, I didn’t pull the trigger and that is my fault, and I will get better at that in the future.”

But Barkenhagen said it’s easier for major party candidates to raise money, and the costs in Maine clocked in at about $3 million per year.

According to the Post Star, Barkenhagen has raised $350 during the campaign to Stec’s $42,000.

MAILERS Barkenhagen criticized the five taxpayer-funded mailings he has received from Stec’s office.

“That’s excessive to me,” he said.

Stec should have stopped once he announced his campaign, Barkenhagen said.

“Once I was on the ballot, absolutely they should stop coming.”

The assemblyman said there is a 60-day blackout period for legislative mail before elections.

Stec also said the mailers help inform his constituents, and are not political in nature. The final mailer, sent in early-September regarding heroin, led to a family member calling his office for help, the lawmaker recalled.

“My staff got on it. They worked their tail off, and within less than a week, they were able to find a bed for this young guy and get him help,” Stec said.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA The two also offered contrasting opinions on drug legalization at the debate, which was hosted Thursday, Oct. 20 and sponsored by LOOK TV. Stec asked Barkenhagen to clarify where he stands on decriminalization, citing a recent Facebook post by the candidate.

While Stec voted for the Compassionate Care Act that legalized medical marijuana in the state under controlled conditions, he said he is against drug legalization, noting marijuana is still a Class 1 substance at the federal level.

A series of panels held across the state by Assembly Republicans also showed support for continuing the status quo, he said.

“I’d rather be conservative and cautious on this issue,” Stec said.

Barkenhagen said drug addiction needed to be treated as a public health issue, not just as a criminal one.

“When people are addicted to a drug, they need help — they don’t need to be sitting in a county jail,” Barkenhagen said.

Barkenhagen cited the state Department of Health’s 12-point plan to overhaul the state’s medical marijuana program, which has been plagued by low transactions since its

rollout in January, and said prescriptions may steer people away from using opiates to otherwise treat those positions — including chronic pain.

And legislation would lead to an economic benefit, he said, citing $135 million in tax revenue raised in Colorado the first year it was legal, with $35 million allocated to new school construction.

“So yes, I believe we should legalize recreational marijuana in New York State because really, how many times do you find a constituency that wants to be taxed?” Barkenhagen said.

Pressed by Stec, Barkenhagen said he was not in favor of heroin legalization.

“I don’t think we should be legalizing heroin, I don’t think we should be not prosecuting dealers — I think we should prosecute heroin dealers; I think we should prosecute meth labs and people that are making, manufacturing and distributing these hard drugs. But I don’t think we should be prosecuting addicts,” Barkenhagen said.

Stec said he was also in favor of increased treatment options, citing his vote in favor of a comprehensive legislative package designed to combat the epidemic signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year.

The package, the lawmaker said, includes new insurance coverage requirements for substance abuse treatment, signed into law by Cuomo just last week.

The candidates also discussed invasive species, with both agreeing future legislation is necessary to protect the district’s waterways and other environmental assets.

Assembly District 114 encompasses all of Essex and Warren counties, and portions of Washington and Saratoga.

State Assemblyman Dan Stec (R, C, I, Ref. -Queensbury) debated his opponent for the 114th state Assembly District, Green Party candidate Robin Barkenhagen, on Oct. 20. Sponsored by LOOK TV, the half-hour debate discussed campaign finance reform, medical marijuana and invasive species, among other issues.

n last week’s column I wrote about the influence money is having on the national media. A new report, focused solely on the newspaper industry, has just been released by the UNC School of Media and Journalism’s Center for Innovation and Sustainability in Local Media titled “The Rise of a New Media Baron and the Emerging Threat of News Deserts” The report details what we’ve seen happening here for some time, that being the primary mission of the new newspaper owner is to solely make money for their investors and shareholders without great concern for community or staff. The report explores the possibility that many communities may soon lose their primary source of local news, leaving behind vast news deserts across entire regions of the country.

Here is the lead paragraph for the report which says it all; Over the past decade, a new media baron has emerged in the United States. Private equity funds, hedge funds and other newly formed investment partnerships have swooped in to buy — and actively manage — newspapers all over the country. These new owners are very different from the newspaper publishers that preceded them. For the most part they lack journalism experience or the sense of civic mission traditionally embraced by publishers and editors. Newspapers represent only a fraction of their vast business portfolios — ranging from golf courses to sub-prime lenders — worth hundreds of millions, even billions, of dollars. Their mission is to make money for their investors, so they operate with a short-term, earnings-first focus and are prepared to get rid of any holdings — including newspapers — that fail to produce what they judge to be an adequate profit.

“For more than 200 years, newspapers have been an indispensable auditor of democracy at all levels,” said Penelope Muse Abernathy, author of the report and Knight Chair of Journalism and Digital Media Economics in the School of Media and Journalism. “By documenting the seismic changes in newspaper ownership, this report seeks to raise awareness about the multiple challenges confronting local news organizations, and the impact the loss of newspapers can have on the health and vitality of communities throughout the country.”

North Country needs a mid-sized music venue

F

or those about to rock, we… have nowhere to go.

Despite the region slowly shaking off layers of rust, we still lack a midsized live music venue and performance space.

Having a few solid venues in the region would benefit local performers and help attract outside artists, creating an artistic hub in the process.

The North Country is undergoing a revival of sorts.

It seems like not a week goes by where there isn’t some type of conference, summit, business announcement, gathering or impromptu panel discussion designed to float trial balloons on how to shape our new economy and harness the vitality crackling underfoot.

Farming, brewing, tourism, graphic design, advanced manufacturing — a dizzying blend of the above now seems possible.

Part of this is due to reignited wells of civic engagement: Folks are flocking here, many with fresh new ideas.

Another can be attributed to renewed state investment.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has often said his administration has been focused on upstate like a “laser beam.”

Say what you will about the effectiveness of his economic development programs — some of them, like Start-Up New York, have proven to be duds — but it’s tough to dispute that the region hasn’t been showered with this much attention since, well, ever.

All of this being said, we can’t but help feel that the region needs a few good mid-sized music venues — say, one in Glens Falls and another in Plattsburgh.

Both places have fostered some neat events recently.

In Plattsburgh, ROTA is now holding concerts on a regular basis, bringing in rock bands from across the country to their small space on Bridge Street. The venue has also become a nexus for homegrown and regional talent.

On the visual end of the spectrum, a recent convention, Plattsnerd, drew 700 attendees earlier this month, demonstrating an appetite for all things gamingcentric.

And a constellation of young promoters are organizing one-off shows and exhibits in basements, bars and other out-of-the-way places.

The same is happening in Glens Falls, home to a colorful spectrum of bars, boutiques, restaurants and other hotspots — including Heady Productions, which is the city’s equivalent of ROTA. This all appears to indicate several broader trends:

The first, quite simply, is that there is a demand for these events, and we don’t exist in a pop cultural vacuum despite our remote location.

Another are the satellite businesses that have popped up in the region to support these growing interests.

And the last is the existing spaces may not be the best fit to host these events: The comic book convention was held at the American Legion in Plattsburgh, for instance.

That means this gaggle of geeks was too small for the Crete Center, but too large to fit existing venues — including the constellation of bars and clubs dotted around the city — or too off-brand for others, including the Strand, which appears to be targeted to a different clientele.

The same would likely be the case in Glens Falls, where the Civic Center struggles to pair events with the right-sized crowds.

The two cities received $10 million each as part of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, the state’s attempt to kickstart urban economic development. Maybe some of these economic development funds can be used to facilitate a happy medium. With matching private investment, we think a mid-sized venue would be a tremendous asset to the region.

We think there’s a critical mass for live music here.

Promising ingredients include a proximity to both Burlington and Albany, a robust college population and a growing population of young professionals who are moving into both cities, many of whom play a central role in downtown revitalization efforts.

Up north, there are also existing events like Otis Mountain and Backwoods Pondfest, two annual summertime festivals that draw thousands, providing that if you have music, folks will travel. And in the south, the region has been going gangbusters with all manner of outdoor events in recent years.

And the economic weathervane is pointed in our favor, with a broadening relationship with Canada and more high tech industry players moving in — including developments at Norsk Titanium.

A decent live music venue is a critical component to the region’s upward trajectory. Hopefully we’ll see these concepts become a part of the broader conversation.

Conflict with Russia ‘ought to be based on solid evidence’ To the Editor: Hillary Clinton’s pompous declaration that “17 (sic) intelligence agencies have confirmed that Russia is behind the email hacks” ironically demonstrates our disturbing tolerance for anti-intellectualism.

It’s remarkable that a future president is excused for recklessly provoking a nuclear-armed adversary. A conflict with Russia, especially when we are fighting in several countries already, ought to be based on solid evidence.

Clinton was referring to a press release by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), stating the release of hacked emails “are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts.”

No further evidence is presented and there’s no indication that all 16 US

A

intelligence agencies independently reached the same conclusion.

Her reference to the DNI is an appeal to authority, a tactic used when facts alone cannot support the argument. The DNI’s argument is also fallacious: “Consistent with” isn’t proof because there’s a risk of spurious correlation. Eating dinner is consistent with your methods and motivations but that doesn’t prove that I’m you.

One properly documented analysis would suffice. But there isn’t one so Clinton tries to convince us by fallaciously referring to many intelligence agencies. That’s compelling, but it’s illogical.

Lacking hard evidence, the ad hominem attack on Russia was irresponsible and dangerous. That tactical risk was accepted because the hacked emails document signature Clinton deficiencies. Normally those would be sufficient to doom a candidate. Tragically, her opponent is even worse.

With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-

dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75.

A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Important your voice be heard on county Office for Aging merger To the Editor: On Monday, Oct. 31 at 11 a.m., a public hearing will be held in the Essex County Board of Supervisors Chambers regarding the merger of the Essex County Office for the Aging and Essex County Public Health Departments.

This proposal will impact elders and those who care for them. It is important that your voice be heard.

The advisory council to the OFA believes that the loss of departmental representation will have a negative impact to concerns of elders in the county. With the projected rise in the numbers of elderly to 30 percent of the population by 2030, it is important to give programs and issues impacting the elderly singular attention. Elders need a seat at the table and a clear voice to the supervisors.

The Advisory Council is asking that the acting director be appointed Director to the Office for Aging as a separate department with departmental representation with no impact to the 2017 budget. Your support at the hearing is important.

Jensen commentary ‘blatant attack on Clinton’ To the Editor: I will try to say no more than merited by Rick Jensen’s guest commentary.

It’s just that his blatant attack on Clinton and “the media” that “colludes” with her, camouflaged as the work of a professional, really annoys me.

First of all, when was it that Wikileaks became proof of anything, as in “Wikileaks proves that?”

Secondly, I would want to look at the actual text of the emails, thank you, rather than take Jensen’s word that “this email reveals....”

And Jensen’s “this is the dark hole of soul-sucking depravity that is the root cause of American distrust of the national media” is language hardly merited, given the lack of factual substance in Jensen’s piece.

I don’t doubt that there are shenanigans going on, but that’s true in all corridors of our society.

Finally, as I have been saying, Jensen’s piece certainly does not provide a model that I would aspire to, in reporting political goings on of public interest.

Rep. Stefanik, Derrick need to address U.S. funding of Israel To the Editor: It would be interesting to see what would happen if congressional candidate Mike Derrick, as a combat veteran in the Middle East, would propose that the $39 billion recently committed to the State of Israel by the U.S. Congress for weapons be withdrawn and directed toward the repair of infrastructure and facilities in those states of the United States of America recently ravaged by Hurricane Matthew.

As a taxpayer, regarding any question about the proper use of taxpayer dollars, I would rather see U.S. railroads and bridges repaired and reservoirs cleansed than see U.S. funds wasted on murderous weaponry and dubious schemes by an artificial entity which would prolong endless conflict and cost millions of lives.

I do not see how supporting a statelet that sees the USA as a bottomless money pit and a potential source of cannon fodder can possibly contribute to the conditions needed for our maintaining a viable state here at home.

The USA in particular and the world at large would have a brighter future if Israel could be obliged to use its own energy and talents to develop civilized relationships with its neighbors without reference to Bronze Age fairy tales.

It would be very interesting to hear what Mike and Rep. Elise Stefanik (RWillsboro) might have to say about this proposal.

Supportive of proposed Essex County tethering law To the Editor: I recently read the “Essex County Needs a Tethering Law” letter in your latest edition and was relieved to know that finally laws are being created to help protect the animals in our community.

I applaud the group of individuals who are behind this mission and support their efforts in this worthy cause. Honestly, it’s about time.

We live in a world where humanity has become more aware of the sensitivity of animals and the value they bring to all our lives. “They are our equals in their capacity to suffer,” to quote the president of the Humane Society of America.

Put yourself in their paws and feel what it’s like to be chained to a pole all day long in black fly season or in the middle of winter.

Feel what it’s like to have turned your water bowl over on a hot summer day or have a coyote zeroing in on you with no place to go.

I’m not sure why there would be any hesitation in passing such a law. However challenging it may be it’s the right thing to do.

Gail Seamen ‘cares not for residents’ To the Editor: In response to a recent letter, the writer says “Gail Seaman proves loyal to Thurman.”

I disagree, and I believe many will agree, her appointment and the events surrounding this action has raised numerous questions.

An appointed board member is only loyal to the supervisor, and her supporters, for putting them in that position. Ms. Seaman, as we have seen recently, cares not for the residents that she is supposed to be representing, but aligns she herself with the supervisor and her special interests group.

Ms. Seaman suggested once that “the highway supervisor send only half of his crew each time they go out plowing or sanding to save money.”

I asked Mr. Wood the next day “if this would in fact save anything.” His answer was “it would likely cost the same amount.” I already knew the answer.

Perhaps I am wrong, maybe in nursing the staffing can be cut in half and the same work can be completed.

Another time, Ms. Seaman was making and seconding motions when the board wanted to approve the purchase of a used truck and a body for another truck. By Ms. Seaman’s comments, it was clear to me and others she did not know the difference.

Lacking for two-plus board meetings was a representative from the highway department. This alone should have stopped the process until someone could be present to answer questions concerning these purchases.

Ms. Seaman has joined with Ms. Wood, supervisor, to verbally attack councilmen Mike Eddy. This is not the behavior I want to see from our board members.

I can only hope the residents of Thurman remember come election day how loyal this board member is to the residents she represents, because if you are part of the majority it is not you!

Changes made to Lawson, Allen scholarship amid resident concerns To the Editor: The brief and correct announcement in the Oct. 15 edition of Sun Community News that the Lawson and Clint Allen Leadership and Academic Scholarship offered through the Essex Community Fund would expand to include residents and graduating seniors from the towns of Essex and Willsboro and who attended Willsboro Central School (WSC) provoked a concerned reaction.

Several individuals pointed out that those eligibility requirements would preclude Essex and Willsboro students who attend other schools than WCS. After a thoughtful discussion, the committee that manages the scholarship decided to remove the requirement of graduating from WSC, making the scholarship available to all high school seniors with a residence in Essex or Willsboro.

The Allen Scholarship awards one scholarship each year and will track students through either a four or two year institution or a trade school. It expects to provide a $5,000 scholarship for the academic year of 2017-18 and continue at that level as long as a recipient makes steady progress toward a degree or completing a trade certificate. Lawson and Clint Allen expect scholarship recipients “to pay it forward” though a lifetime of contributions to their communities and the nation.

The Essex Community Fund in the last decade has assisted Essex groups and other organizations that support Essex residents with grants that have totaled more than $150,000. Those interested in applying for a grant or the Allen Scholarship may contact the Essex Community Fund at P.O. Box 101, Essex, New York 12936.

than 9,500 local newspapers. Here are some of the findings: Since 2004, more than a third of the country’s newspapers have changed ownership, some sold two or more times.

The largest newspaper companies are larger than ever, and still growing. Some of the largest chains have been assembled by investment fund managers, with newspapers representing only a fraction of their vast business portfolios.

The largest investment groups tend to employ a standard formula in managing their newspapers – aggressive cost cutting paired with financial restructuring.

Most newspapers owned and operated by investment groups are located in economically struggling small and mid-sized communities where the newspaper is the primary source of local news.

Newspapers must adapt to the digital age to remain viable community builders. This will require a significant investment by newspaper owners and a long-term commitment to struggling communities, not a short-term earnings focus.

Without significant fresh investments by the new owners, the bond between newspapers and their communities will erode, with numerous small cities and towns facing the real threat of becoming a news desert.

Wrong on Ethanol Trump, Clinton agree Jeff Stier Columnist

H

illary Clinton and Donald Trump don’t agree on much -- except the Renewable Fuel Standard. Too bad they’re both wrong.

The policy requires America’s gasoline supply be mixed with renewable fuels like corn-based ethanol. Both nominees cite ethanol as key to breaking U.S. dependence on foreign oil and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

America’s domestic energy boom has laid that first argument to rest. For the environment, the RFS does more to harm than good. Instead of aligning themselves on the wrong side of this issue, both candidates should commit to ending the RFS as quickly as possible.

America’s peculiar relationship with ethanol began in the 1970s.

Back then, the nation relied on foreign countries for much of its gasoline -- a situation that undermined U.S. security and drove up fuel prices.

Congress sought to address this problem by encouraging the transition to renewable fuels. It didn’t hurt that the policy carried considerable political benefits, enjoying support from both environmentalists and corn-growers.

The RFS’s 2005 implementation capped this decades-long effort to boost ethanol by requiring U.S. transportation fuel to contain a certain volume of renewable material -- ethanol chief among them.

But what seemed like a sensible policy in the 1970s is now utterly absurd. Indeed, the United States is no longer dependent on volatile foreign regimes for its oil.

Since 2008, American oil production has grown by 90 percent — a surge that makes America the biggest global petroleum producer. For the first time, America has larger oil reserves than any other country, making it unlikely that we will run out anytime soon.

The environmentalist case for the RFS has fared no better. Ethanol was supposed to be a greener alternative to fossil fuels. But, by artificially inflating the demand for corn, the RFS has dramatically increased the amount of farmland for corn production. Some 7.3 million acres of natural habitat were destroyed after the policy took effect, according to University of Wisconsin researchers.

Motorists also suffer. Corn-based ethanol contains a third less energy than gasoline, reducing the number of miles a driver can travel on a full tank. In New England alone, ethanol mandates cost motorists an additional $6.29 billion between 2005 and 2014.

Even our cars are poorly served.

Increasingly stringent Environmental Protection Agency blending requirements have made motor fuel unsuitable for many cars. For nine out of ten of today’s vehicle engines, filling up on high-ethanol fuel could result in serious damage.

That both Trump and Clinton are continuing the RFS charade doesn’t bode well for the future. The ethanol mandate is a clear example of a policy with no real benefits and serious, measurable costs. Anyone seeking to lead this country shouldn’t be afraid to say so.

Halloween Festivities

I

n the past, Halloween was considered a part of the three day Allhallowtide celebration, a period between Oct. 31 and Nov. 2 when Christians would visit graveyards and cemeteries, light candles on the graves of the dead, and in some cases, abstain from eating meat, according to Wikipedia.

Halloween wasn’t always celebrated as we celebrate it now, but that doesn’t necessarily make our personal traditions invalid.

Check out some of the Halloween events slated around the region this week: The annual “Boo 2 You” Halloween festival will return to downtown Glens Falls on Oct. 29. The event will feature trick-or-treating on Glen Street, spooky dancers, a costume parade, pony rides, a screening of “Hocus Pocus” and more. Admission is free. This fest is slated to last from 2-4 p.m. For more information, call 761-3864.

The Country Dreams Farm in Plattsburgh will open a haunted Halloween corn maze on Oct. 28. Organizers say that attendees should “bring a flashlight and prepare to be scared!”

APA seeks input on Boreas Tract land-use plan Former Finch, Pruyn & Co. timberland is among the last with legacy of long logging history in the Adirondacks

PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULE Public hearings will be held around the state:

By Kim Dedam

Nov. 9: APA headquarters, Ray Brook 7 p.m.

NORTH HUDSON — The public comment period has begun for proposed land-use at Boreas Ponds.

The Adirondack Park Agency approved four different plans of action for Boreas last week. Wild Forest, Primitive and Wilderness are land-use definitions put forth to varying degrees in the plan.

The newly acquired state forest land is being classified for addition to the Adirondack State Park.

A LEGENDARY PAST The 20,543-acre Boreas parcel was owned and managed by Finch, Pruyn & Co. paper and timber company for about 150 years, situated around four ponds that feed the Boreas and Schroon rivers.

It is arguably the longest held Finch, Pruyn timber stand, kept active since the earliest days of river drives until it was purchased

by The Nature Conservancy in 2007.

Northern forest timbers, mostly spruce and pine, were ferried with the spring snowmelt from the ponds down the Boreas River following a course of some 18 miles south and slightly west to meet the Hudson.

The river’s channel and thousands of men for decades delivered “standard” logs to the boom and mills in Glens Falls.

There are four named mountains on the tract: Boreas Mountain (3,776 feet); Moose Mountain (2,700 feet); Ragged Mountain (2,677 feet) and part of Popple Hill (2,740 feet).

The elusive High Peak at Allen Mountain is just over the tract’s northern boundary point. Any spur to its herd trail would be planned in the Unit Management Plan by the state Department of Environmental Conservation once classification is complete.

The Boreas sits at the brow of what is sometimes known as the Adirondack dome: an underlying rise in the Earth’s crust crowned with High Peak summits.

The dome sends water running toward all cardinal points.

Not far north and west, about 4.3 miles as the crow flies from White Lily Pond in Boreas, water from Lake Tear of the Clouds on Mt. Marcy’s western flank flows into the Opalescent River and thus marks the source of the Hudson River.

Nov. 21: Schroon Lake Central School, Schroon Lake 7 p.m.,

kim@suncommunitynews.com

Nov. 14: Northville Central School, Northville 6 p.m., Nov. 16: Newcomb Central School, Newcomb 7 p.m., Nov. 28: RIT, Golisano Inst. for Sustainability, Rochester 7 p.m., Nov. 29: St. Lawrence Co. Service Center, Canton 6 p.m., Dec. 6: Bear Mountain Inn, Tomkins Cove 7 p.m., Dec. 7: NYSDEC headquarters, Albany 2 p.m.,

The northern edge of the Boreas parcel boundary connects with the watershed of the Grasse, Raquette and St. Regis Rivers, which flow north into the St. Lawrence Basin.

The Boreas Ponds — First, Second and Third — and White Lily Pond in particular, pool about three miles as the crow flies south from the Upper and Lower Au Sable Lakes that feed the Au Sable River and then flow east into Lake Champlain.

A wetlands known as Marcy Swamp connects Boreas to the private property around the Au Sable lakes, straddling watershed boundaries at Mt. Marcy’s divide. The Adirondack Mountain Reserve’s private lands are protected under state conservation easements.

When Verplanck Colvin surveyed the Adirondacks in 1874, his topographical report considered the viability of building a “canal” to turn the Au Sable Lakes south.

Or, he reported, “if, vice versa, all the Boreas lakes can be thrown north, a smaller area of watershed would be changed to the Ausable [sic] river or about thirteen square miles.”

Colvin concluded that the area available for the St. Lawrence or Lake Champlain (watersheds) “from this (Boreas) source is not great, and indeed, is not needed.”

Thus the Boreas ponds were not engineered away from their charge toward the Hudson.

Scientist and ecologist Jerry Jenkins, a renowned expert on forest management, was hired by Finch, Pruyn in 2000 and 2001 to conduct a biological survey of their entire 167,000 acre holdings, all of which they have sold, mostly to New York State.

Jenkins described the Boreas among Finch properties as a cross-section patterned of original Totten & Crossfield Purchase lots acquired in stages through the mid-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

His scientific report chronicles flora, fauna and habitat.

“The largest concentration of lowland boreal habitat is around the Boreas Ponds and in the floodplains of the upper Hudson and Opalescent Rivers,” Jenkins said in his summary.

Uniform high quality forest management and remarkable scenic assets, he said of the entire holdings, “exceeds any other commercial forest lands (about 400,000 acres) that I have examined.”

There are many manmade roads and two dams in the Boreas tract. The dams at First Pond and at LaBier Flow are what create the three small Boreas ponds, with White Lily on its own just west of Moose Mountain.

STATE LAND USE DEFINITIONS The land use designation will determine in perpetuity what type of recreation can occur at and around the lakes and through the woods.

None of the four plans implies motorized boat access to the ponds.

But the roads may or may not open for bikes or horses, depending on classification.

The Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan holds nine types of land use, which are balanced against nature’s qualities and human impact specific to each place, past, present and future.

• Wild Forest Area is applied “where the resources permit a somewhat higher degree of human use than in wilderness, primitive or canoe areas, while retaining an essentially wild character.

A Wild Forest area is further defined as an area that frequently lacks the sense of remoteness of Wilderness, Primitive or Canoe areas and that permits a wide variety of outdoor recreation.”

• Wilderness Area, being the most protective Adirondack state land classification often limits access. Lands considered “wilderness” are found in: “An area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man — where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.

“A Wilderness Area is further defined to mean an area of State land or water having a primeval character, without significant improvement or permanent human habitation, which is protected and managed so as to preserve, enhance and restore, where necessary, its natural conditions.”

Wilderness designation also requires “non-conforming” structures to be removed within a specified time frame.

• Primitive Area is a close kin to Wilderness, but often refers to smaller parcels: “Essentially wilderness in character but, (a) contains structures, improvements, or uses that are inconsistent with wilderness, as defined, and whose removal, though a long term objective, cannot be provided for by a fixed deadline, and/or, (b) contains, or is contiguous to, private lands that are of a size and influence to prevent wilderness designation.”

Boreas land use: Four alternatives Wild Forest, Wilderness and Primitive all considered in State Land classification

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH HUDSON — The Boreas Tract is part of a much larger “Classification Package” prepared by Adirondack Park Agency staff for this open public comment period, which closes Dec. 30.

Altogether, there are 33 state land classification actions in the package along with 13 state land reclassifications and 56 map corrections scattered across the park.

The four Boreas alternatives placed for public comment contained varied amount of Wild Forest versus Wilderness level access.

But there are a few common actions.

The Towns of North Hudson and Newcomb have been granted easements to mine gravel from two gravel pits on the Boreas Tract.

The pits would be classified State Administrative and reclassified once they are depleted.

And APA says, “the designation of an appropriate special management area can be considered for any Wild Forest lands which may require special management to reflect unusual resource or public use factors.”

“Unusual resources” might be among several man-made items that mark the Boreas Tract and its logging history.

A loop and a few spurs of wide, compacted roads built for logging trucks and heavy equipment wrap around and south of the ponds. Gulf Brook and Boreas Pond roads extend along the entire southern flank of the tract.

These existing Finch, Pruyn roads are not indicated on APA’s proposed classification maps.

Two manmade dams are shown on the four maps, one at LaBier Flow and another at Boreas’ First Pond.

Parking areas are established and indicated at each dam.

The concrete dam at First Pond was rebuilt in 1996 along with Finch, Pruyn’s corporate camp retreat, a large facility with eight rooms, which was torn down in August.

An historic log cabin — a hunting cabin used by logging companies — remains in place at the four corners crossroads, a center point where all the logging roads converge. It was purchased as part of the Boreas transaction.

Essex County Clerk Joe Provoncha is also North Hudson’s historian, and he maintains that this the oldest such cabin inside the Adirondack Park.

HOW TO LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD The Public Comment period ends on Dec. 30, 2016.

Comments can be sent to: Kathleen D. Regan, Deputy Director, Planning Adirondack Park Agency Post Office Box 99 1133 State Route 86 Ray Brook, NY 12977 Phone: (518) 891-4050 Fax: (518) 891-3938 or email classificationcomments@apa.ny.gov Eight hunting clubs have retained leases to their existing camps through Sept. 30 of 2018.

APA’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement says: “There is no preferred alternative proposed for the Boreas Ponds Tract.”

The alternatives are as follows: Alternative 1: Classifies land 500-feet north of the Gulf Brook and Boreas Pond boundary plus the roadways as Wild Forest.

They would be added to the Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest Unit to the south. Land north of the Four Corners and its historic cabin, along with the logging roads that surround the ponds, plus the ponds themselves would also be classified Wild Forest.

The larger expanse of land beyond a Wild Forest core and adjoining the High Peaks Wilderness and private property around Elk Lake would be classified Wilderness.

Alternative 2: Maintains Wild Forest designation for the Boreas and Gulf Pond Roads, and both man-made dams along with a corridor that stretches to Boreas Pond dam.

The rest of the property, including the interior roadways, would be classified Wilderness.

Alternative 3: This version proposes an “island” of Wild Forest marked on the south end of the Boreas Tract by the dam at LaBier Flow and on the north by the Boreas Ponds dam.

All lands surrounding the ponds would be made Wilderness.

In this, both Gulf Brook and Boreas roads are placed in Wilderness, ostensibly left to dwindle back to the land, except APA’s Alternative 3 says: “The Wild Forest Area would also continue west from Four Corners for 1.31 miles on the Boreas Pond Road to the Boreas Pond Road State Administrative Area (gravel pit).”

A 1,337-acre triangle of Vanderwhacker Wild Forest that juts

This historic log cabin — currently leased by a hunting crew through September of 2018 — is considered to be the oldest of its kind in the Adirondack Park. The cabin sits in between LaBier Flow and the dam at Boreas Ponds. It most likely would need to be removed as a “non-conforming structure” should the land beneath it be classified wilderness.

into Boreas is also reclassified as Wilderness.

Alternative 4: Most of the land is classified Wilderness.

But this more complex alternative creates a 118-acre cocoon of Primitive Area around Boreas Ponds and both dams, allowing access for maintenance, bicycles and for State Administrative access.

APA says a “50-foot wide Wild Forest corridor would continue west from Four Corners (at the historic cabin) for 1.31 miles on the Boreas Pond Road to the Boreas Pond Road State Administrative Area (gravel pit). The section of the Boreas Ponds Roads located within the Primitive Area would qualify as a State Truck Trail (aka Administrative Road).”

APA notes that in a Primitive Area “…bicycles may be used on existing roads legally open to the public and on state truck trails specifically designated for such use by the Department of Environmental Conservation as specified in individual unit management plans.”

Pictured above is the view from the dam at LaBier Flow. Below is the bridge over that dam. Some environmental groups such as Be Wild NY support stopping all but foot traffic here — about a mile from Boreas Ponds. All four alternatives call for state access on the parcel for upkeep of the dam on Boreas Ponds. Meanwhile, officials of the five towns that abut the tract that makeup the group Access Adirondacks are calling for a Wild Forest designation past this point to the dam at Boreas Ponds and on roads around the ponds. Depending on the unit management plan established by the state DEC, that could allow use of the roads by user groups such as bicyclists, horseback riders and snowmobilers. Access Adirondacks supports Alternative 1.

Pictured here is the bridge over the man-made dam at Boreas Ponds. Under the interim use agreement, the state currently allows no bicycles past this point, although several miles of dirt road lay beyond, which circle the ponds. Foot travel would be the only thing allowed past this point under all but alternative 1 of the proposed classification plans.

LAKE GEORGE — Trees will be harvested within the a year or two on village property located on Prospect Mountain, if plans of the village board materialize.

Village trustees voted Oct. 17 to hire forester Chris Gearwar to survey and mark trees to be cut down on about 45 acres of village property located on the east side of Prospect Mountain. The acreage hosts the village reservoir.

The thinning of trees — primarily beech and hemlock — is to be undertaken in part to encourage more valuable trees to grow, as well as provide revenue for the village government, local officials said.

The village has harvested trees on the watershed property three times in recent history, and the sale of the timber during the most recent tree-cutting yielded about $45,000, village Mayor Robert Blais said.

He predicting the upcoming sale might garner a higher sum.

Gearwar, a licensed forest consultant, is to be paid 10 percent of the proceeds of the timber sale.

Blais said the village might hold off on lumbering the property — located uphill from the village recreation fields — until a higher price can be obtained for the timber.

Also at the village board meeting, the board decided to hire Saratoga Associates to design a pedestrian bridge over West Brook. To be situated behind a guardrail on the west side of state Rte. 9, the span is to resemble a covered bridge as requested by town supervisor Dennis Dickinson, Blais said. He noted that currently, pedestrians have to walk in the roadway.

In addition, a proposal to obtain and locate two or three automated electronic defibrillators at the village recreation fields was proposed by local youth soccer coach Rick Reinhold.

He said that one defibrillator should be positioned by each field to resuscitate someone whose heart has stopped. He said that having no such equipment on hand compromised public safety.

“If someone had a sudden heart attack, and I had to wait for an ambulance with a

garage’s construction.

The new garage consists of five doublelength apparatus bays, four feet taller than the bays in the present firehouse, so the larger fire trucks built in recent decades can be properly accommodated. The existing firehouse, originally built in 1929, had additions constructed in 1961 and 1978.

The new bays are more than double the length of modern fire trucks, so up to two can

child dying in my arms, I would never be able to live with myself,” he said.

Reinhold said the AED units would cost $900 to $1,500 each, and that town officials pledged to pay half the cost, as well as underwrite the cost of materials to build a shed in which to store them.

Blais suggested that the AED in use during the summer at Shepard Park Beach could be used off-season at the village sports fields. He also proposed that a local booster club might form to shoulder the cost.

In other business, the village board: • endorsed drafting a proposed law that bans the use of ATVs and other motorized vehicles on cross-country ski trails on village property adjacent to the village recreation fields. The proposed law is likely to be prepared for a public hearing in December; • heard from Blais that he plans to expand the village’s annual Lite Up the Village holiday kickoff event to feature a performance of The Nutcracker by a youth ballet company from Glens Falls, as well as pony rides and a parade of decorated fire trucks representing fire departments throughout the Hudson Valley; • decided to sign off on Shoreline Cruises dredging sand that has accumulated around their docks and is causing problems for their boats’ arrivals and departures — and to assist Shoreline in obtaining a permit to build a new boat ramp; • approved spending about $2,500 on upgrading several of the village’s parking pay stations that accept credit cards — due to new security requirements; • appointed village DPW superintendent Dave Harrington as village Climate Smart Coordinator; • approved the erection of a sign directing guests of the Lake George Marriott Courtyard to the hotel’s main entrance and parking garage. The directional sign, to be placed close to the hotel above the village sidewalk, is subject to an annual licensing fee; • announced that the village’s annual financial report has been completed and is now ready for public inspection. Noting that the unexpended balances from prior years had not been depleted, Blais praised

village department heads for not spending their entire allocations in their individual budgets; • approved a plan to charge for upcoming out-of-village sewer charges to be adjusted higher according to overall expense increases, while village officials research how to permanently set a formula for equitable sewer fees; • heard from Blais that the summer trolley service in Lake George carried 152,700 passengers this summer — compared to 5,000 in its first year 15 years ago; • heard that the Lake George Music Festival — an annual series of classical concerts — was very successful this year, and

be housed in each bay — and since entrances will be on both ends, fire trucks can be driven directly through the bays, eliminating the need to back the trucks into the garage.

Geraghty said that safety concerns also played a big role in deciding to construct the addition. In the existing firehouse, the firefighting gear rack is located in one truck bay requiring company members to get dressed very close to fire trucks in motion. With the new addition, getting outfitted near the vehicles will be minimized, he said.

Plans call for nine firefighting vehicles to be housed in the new garage, designed by Cedarwood Engineering of North Creek. The garage’s floor is to have radiant heat, which was chosen for efficiency.

Last January, residents of the Fire District approved construction of the addition and bonding for the project by a vote of 86-2.

VMJR Companies of Glens Falls bid just less than $1.4 million to serve as general contractor, and the bid was awarded. The electrical work was awarded to Harold R. Clune,

plans for 2017 include a concert atop the Lake George Marriott Courtyard rooftop garden patio. “Everything Alex Lombard does is first class,” Blais said about the festival’s founder and CEO; • expressed a lack of interest in obtaining the MacDonald residential property adjacent to the firehouse — for parking and future expansion — due to the high value of the property and the expense of demolishing the buildings there; • decided to contribute $500 in occupancy tax receipts towards the expense of producing a watercraft safety video to be shown to people who rent boats for use on Lake George.

IN BRIEF

Historical Society seeks artifacts for election collection CHESTERTOWN — The Town of Chester Historical Society is seeking political artifacts from past elections.

Museum Director, Nancie Welch, has been working with the museum’s collection and noted that there is just one poster from a previous town election in its collection.

Items may be brought to the museum, located in the Town of Chester’s Municipal Center. For more information, call the museum director at 494-7942.

Roast beef dinner served at Pottersville Methodist, Nov. 12 POTTERSVILLE — The Pottersville Methodist Church will host their annual roast beef dinner on Saturday, Nov. 12 from 5-7 p.m.

The menu will include classic fare like mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetables and pie.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for children. For more information, call Judy at 494-3594.

Warren County BoE to extend hours for Nov. 8 election LAKE GEORGE — The Warren County Board of Elections will have additional office hours to allow for absentee voting for registered voters of Warren County who will be out of the county on Nov. 8.

Warren County allows in-person absentee voting each business day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The additional hours will be; Oct. 24, 26 and Nov. 1 and 3 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Oct. 29 and Nov. 5 from 9 a.m. to noon.

FUMC meatloaf dinner on tap WARRENSBURG — The First United Methodist Church will host a meatloaf dinner on Nov. 12 from 4-6 p.m.

The menu will include meatloaf, baked potatoes, vegetables and more. For more information, email FUMC3890@gmail.com

Inc. of Ballston Spa for $99,400 and the heating, airc conditioning and plumbing work was awarded to Collins Mechanical, LLC of Stillwater at a cost of $183,000.

The total of the bids is within the amount budgeted by the Fire District.

Future plans call for renovation of the existing firehouse’s bays, converting them into a large community room to host various functions including the annual Senior Citizens Thanksgiving Dinner and traditional visits

by Santa Claus. Modifications to the current structure — including making it handicapped accessible — will be undertaken after the new garage is completed.

The renovation work is to be bankrolled by a $225,000 state matching grant that has already been secured. With this First Wilderness Heritage Corridor grant, members of the fire company will be providing labor equalling that sum, Geraghty said.

“No one could have imagined decades ago that the equipment would outgrow the building — but it has,” Geraghty said. “This new garage will accommodate the Fire District’s needs for many years to come.”

ON THE COVER: Construction work has begun on a new garage for the Warrensburg firehouse, and the building — shown here in an engineering firm’s sketch — is expected to be complete in November.

The structure’s five double-length bays are designed to not only accommodate the larger modern fire trucks, but since they have entrances at each end, they will allow firefighters to drive the trucks clear through the building to eliminate backing up the vehicles.

Debate << Continued from | p. 1

has frequently been levied against the lawmaker who represents the Adirondack Park, Stefanik said it was a matter of enforcement.

“I have concerns with the lack of enforcement with other developing countries around the world,” Stefanik said, citing China and India. “We need to ensure that they’re also pursuing environmentally-friendly policies.”

Funiciello called for a Green New Deal, which would employ 20 million people in a Works Progress Administration-type program to rebuild national infrastructure and a fossil fuel-free energy network.

“Every single bill passed by Congress should, from here on in, have a climate change contingent in it where we’re trying to reduce carbon PPMs,” Funiciello said.

STUDENT DEBT AND DAIRY To alleviate student debt, Stefanik cited legislation she has proposed that would offer employers the opportunity to pay into 401k-type programs.

Derrick, the only educator in the race, said he was in favor of free tuition for community colleges and state schools, and Funiciello called for the government to purchase student debt through quantitative easing.

On falling dairy prices, which has seen milk prices decline as much as 40 percent over two years across the district, Funiciello tripled down on his claim that animal emissions are a chief cause of methane gas emissions that have led to global warming, citing a 2006 United Nations Report.

“Support small, support organic and support as much plant-based as possible, and we wouldn’t have these problems with the dairy industry per se,” Funiciello said, later adding that he was in favor of eliminating the dairy compact in the Farm Bill which controls milk prices.

Stefanik said she was in favor of reopening the Margin Protection Program in the next Farm Bill, but also increasing export to Canada.

And Derrick said the compact should be tailored to support not just large dairy farms, but also smaller ones.

LIVING WAGE The candidates also drew sharp contrasts on a living wage.

Funiciello traded broadsides with Derrick on the minimum wage, which he said should be $15 per hour — not the $10.10 that the Democratic Party has endorsed as part of their platform.

“If you are going to get us a living wage, Mr. Derrick, what you are going to need to do is not be a Democrat, and you’re accustomed to that because you have been a Republican for much of your life,” said Funiciello, referring to Derrick’s 2015 change in voter registration.

“Why will you not support $15 an hour, and why won’t your national party?”

Derrick said he was in favor of a staggered plan like the one that took effect across New York earlier this year, which would annually increase the wage to $15 in New York City, and $12.50 upstate before the policy would be analyzed to measure its effects.

“It must be done, but it must be done in a way which doesn’t crush our small family farms and our small businesses across the North Country,” Derrick said.

Stefanik said the minimum wage is a good starting point, but must be paired with investments in workforce development and job training and tax code reform.

The candidates also briefly sounded off on the decriminalization of marijuana, gun control, hydrofracking, body cameras for police officers and national missile defense.

NATIONAL RACE Stefanik continued to fend off criticisms from Derrick on her support of the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump, the Republican candidate.

“I ask myself how my opponent, Elise Stefanik, can still stand with Mr. Trump in this election despite the fact that every other woman in congress in the northeast United States has stepped away from him,” Derrick said.

Derrick has made tying Stefanik to the embattled candidate a centerpiece of his campaign, and has sharply escalated his attacks in the wake of the release of a tape capturing Trump bragging about committing sexual assault.

Stefanik shot back: “I will be supporting the Republican nominee because he is willing to work with a Republican Congress on tax reform; on reducing our regulations, on defending our Second Amendment rights.”

But, the lawmaker said: “I will continue to be critical and I will continue to speak out when I disagree. I disagree with Mr. Trump’s rhetoric towards women; I disagree with his belief that we should have a religious test for immigrants to this country.”

Stefanik touted a congressional study, released by her campaign on Monday, of House votes showing she ranks as the 21st most independent member of Congress.

The lawmaker said she recognizes the challenges of being a female politician firsthand: “In fact, my Democratic opponent, at his campaign event, I was called ‘Elsie the Cow’ by one of his supporters and he stood by silently.” (Derrick later denounced the comment as “inappropriate.”)

‘RIGGED SYSTEM’ And Stefanik said she disagreed with Trump’s claims that the election may be “rigged,” accusations he has amplified as polls continue to show him losing altitude to Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate.

“The election is not rigged,” Stefanik said.

“I have full faith and confidence in the outcome of the election across this district and across this country and I would urge candidates across this country to accept the outcome.”

And she later said Congress needs to present an effective, independent counterpoint to the next president.

Derrick argued while he had faith in the electoral process, money has played a corrosive role in U.S. politics, citing the $500,000 dropped into the race earlier this month by a “super PAC” for pro-Stefanik ad buys.

“It doesn’t affect the election machinery, but it affects the outcome of elections, and we see it right here in our 21st District of New York State,” Derrick said.

Funiciello has frequently decried the role of money in politics, and says he is the only candidate who can represent working class people because he does not accept the corporate donations he says influences how lawmakers vote.

On allegations of vote rigging, Funiciello refused to rule out malfeasance.

“I would say this: In 2000, we know the Diebold machines were rigged in Florida. We’re aware of it.

Democrats didn’t fight to fix that. Greens did and the reason we did is we value democracy.”

Funiciello called for a return

to paper ballots.

“They’re going to cheat this time, and they’re going to keep cheating until we decide we’d had enough of it.”

FINAL REMARKS In his closing statements, Derrick said the public isn’t ready to swallow Funiciello’s policy proposals.

“A vote for Matt is an essence a vote for Elise,” said Derrick, who insinuated Stefanik would be at the bequest of hedge fund manager Paul Singer and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

“As I said earlier, $500,000 came into this race last week,” Derrick said. “That does not come without strings attached.” (By law, super PACs are prohibited from coordinating with political campaigns.)

Funiciello lashed both candidates.

“They are both creatures of Wall Street,” he said.

“What you are going to get from them, we already know: It’s 50 years of war and inequality. They’re not going to fix any of the problems we have until we change the conversation in Washington, D.C. and that’s why you’re going to send me there on Nov. 8.”

Stefanik didn’t take the bait: “Instead of attacking, I want to thank both of my fellow candidates,” Stefanik said.

In the last two years, the lawmaker said she has worked “incredibly hard” to keep her campaign promises, citing her work ethic, transparency and accessibility.

“I’ve focused like a laser on job creation and economic development.”

Feeding the hungry, one buck at a time With hunting season now underway, Venison Donation Coalition aims to stamp out hunger through donated harvests

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — With the cool crisp weather comes hunting season, the hallowed ritual across the state that carries sacred traditions.

A statewide nonprofit hopes hunters will add another: The donation of some of their harvests to local food banks.

Since 1999, the Venison Donation Coalition (VDC) has distributed more than 4 million servings of venison to food pantries across the state — or about 36 tons per year.

GRASSROOTS EFFORT

84914

The people-powered effort initially sprouted from sportsmen who wanted to give back to their community, explained Greg Fuerst, a state coordinator with the organization.

In the late-1990s, the state Department of Conservation sponsored a series of meetings asking sportsmen and hunters for input on programming.

Hunters were already keen on donating portions of their harvests, and wanted a vehicle to donate venison — a highly nutritious and lean source of protein— but hoped someone could lend a hand with the processing fees.

The DEC provided seed money in 1999, which the VDC matched.

That arrangement has become a sturdy blueprint, and the program is now sustained through annual fundraising and donation efforts.

All donations are tax-deductible, and every dollar that is donated to the VDC is used towards processing the venison,

with no administrative fees.

Ninety-four DEC-approved processors are located across the state.

Hunters are encouraged to donate a (properly dressed, legally tagged) deer, or even a few pounds, to a participating processor, who is funded through the coalition. The frozen packages are then sent to regional food banks to be included in the stream that feeds local food shelves.

“It really runs smoothly every year,” Fuerst said.

He is also teaching her how to hunt.

The gentleman heard about the donation program and told Fuerst his goal was to tag a deer with his daughter, donate it to the coalition and track its progress through the system so they could go to the local food pantry and see it handed out.

“That was pretty touching,” Fuerst said. “Over 17 years, there’s a lot of good stories out there.”

A HALF-MILLION HUNTERS A recent study revealed 50 percent of the processed meat comes from upstate and western New York; 35 percent from Long Island, and 15 percent from the Lower and Western Hudson region.

The high number in Suffolk and Westchester counties are because those areas are archery-only with unlimited tags, Fuerst said.

If hunters across the state utilize each licensing program, the result could be 8 or 9 deer each season.

Even a portion of that could make a big difference for those who are hungry.

“It goes a long way,” Fuerst said.

Processors are always wanted, especially here in the North Country.

Essex, Clinton and Washington counties boast one each, but there are none in Hamilton, Warren and Franklin counties.

The state is home to 500,000 deer hunters.

Imagine if each hunter donates just $1, says the organization.

Fuerst recently fielded a phone call from a man who is teaching his daughter the values of giving and charity.

Financial donations to the Venison Donation Coalition can be made through your town clerk’s office or anywhere hunting and fishing licenses are sold. All donations through D.E.C.A.L.S. are deposited directly into the Venison Donation Fund. Donations can also be accepted through venisondonation.org. Checks are also accepted and can be made payable to: Venison Donation Coalition, Inc., 3 East Pulteney Sq., Bath, NY 14810. For more information, call 1-866-862-3337.

NorthÊ Warren/JohnsburgÊ harriersÊ continueÊ strongÊ season CHESTERTOWN — The JohnsburgNorth Warren cross country team continues their success as the season is winding down.

Last Saturday the team traveled to Spa Park to race in the Burnt Hills Invitational. Races throughout the day saw 100 teams competing at various levels.

The boy’s varsity team had an amazing race and finished in third place out of 25 small schools. They placed behind Mt. Greylock (Mass) and Lake Placid.

The boys top five were Brandon Olden (6th), Ken Mulvey (35th), Hayden Smith(36th), Seamus Tomb (43rd) and Matt Brown (44th).

The girls team placed 10th at the meet with Summer baker (50th), Ava Anderson (55th), Sheridan Millington (57th), Alyssa Dewar (71st) and Madasyn Bush (74th).

On Tuesday, Oct. 18 a home race was held at Johnsburg’s course at the Allison’s on Bird pond Road. The johnsburg-North Warren team beat Warrensburg, Argyle-Fort Edward and Granville in both the male and the female races.

“The boys and the girls teams are looking strong as we look toward next week’s Adirondack League Championship,” coach Gary Wilson said. “We are really running strong and looking to be a major contender in both

The harriers of Johnsburg-North Warren continue making big splashes in Section II Friday, Oct. 21, teeming with race “jewelry,” as individual team members brought home 24 medals.

The girls varsity team had some outstanding performances with Summer Baker, Ava Anderson, Maddie Bush, Sasha Kinblom, Yana Kinblom, Brooke French and Gracie Strauss all turning in personal best times.

The girls team ended up seventh out of 14 schools, beating League rival Corinth, the team that handed NW/J their only league loss this year.

On the boys side, the Jaggers grabbed second place behind Class B’s Schalmont.

“This meet was scored by total time of the top five runners,” Wilson said. “ Meets are usually scored by adding up the places of the first five runners. Our boys were 1:54 behind Schalmont – not bad for a Class D school against a Class B school!”

The team beat two Class B schools, seven Class C, and four Class D schools.

“We are looking to repeat this type of performance at the Class D sectional race at Spa Park in Saratoga,” Wilson said.

The sectional race will be held Friday, Nov. 4, with the girl’s race at noon, followed by the boy’s race at 2:00 p.m.

Blake Liberi has been known as an assist man throughout the season. On Oct. 20, he scored the golden goal as the Griffins (6-8-2) defeated the Mountaineers (9-4-1) in the third minute of overtime.

“Peter Vaiciulis got to the left flag and played a ball across to Blake Liberi, who one times the ball low and hard to the far post and in,” Griffins coach Paul Buehler said.

The Griffins scored their opening goal in the second minute of play by Sam Hutting.

“Sam served the ball across to the far post and it landed in the far panel,” Buehler said.

Carter Smith made seven saves in the win.

Roberto Jerez scored on a direct kick from about 30 yards out for the Mountaineers.

“He drove an excellent shot into the left upper 90,” Buehler said.

Caleb Winter made 10 saves in the loss.

Class D Girls - quarterfinals The four Division II teams in the Section VII Class D girl’s soccer playoffs may have been the lower seeds, but they proved they were forces to be reckoned with, eliminating all four, higher ranked, Division III schools Oct. 21.

LAKE GEORGE — In the pre-season, Lake George Girls Soccer Coach Mike McLaughlin made a prediction that some people might have considered audacious — that his 2016 squad was perhaps the school’s best ever in girls soccer..

As of this week, the team has lived up to McLaughlin’s bold assertion. The squad is the first Lake George girls soccer team to finish a regular season undefeated, and the first to be ranked as high as No. 2 in the state, division C — their present rank.

As of Tuesday Oct. 25, Lake George was 17-0 and predicted to add to their wins they battle through the Section II tournament.

‘This is the best team I’ve ever had as a coach, boy or girl, any level,” he said. “The team is strong in every respect. The team is balanced; the players have confidence, solid fundamental skills, excellent conditioning, outstanding experience, and they truly understand the game of soccer.”

What aren’t they? McLaughlin said that despite their impeccable season record and their proven athletic talent, they aren’t cocky or overconfident.

What makes you happy playing sports?

I like playing soccer because of the rush it gives me. There’s something about running myself raged just to get the ball into the net.

Nothing else really seems to match up to it.

Best win of your career?

My best game was our first 2015 sectional game against Crown POint. We played with 10 players against a team with a bench of five and won 1-0.

The one play you wish you could do over?

None all games have different outcomes. Wins make me happy, but losses teach me lessons.

Go-to pregame track?

“Heary Dirty Soul,” byTwenty One Pilots.

What would my teammates say about me?

My teammates usually call me Shakira beucase I can’t square my hips for some kicks. Everyone on my team also knows just how loud I can be.

“The players are confident yet they take nothing for granted,” he said. “They approach every game as a challenge. They not only take every game one at a time, they take every halfgame at a time.”

McLaughlin credited his players’ unity and chemistry for their success, which has included 13 & 1/2 shutouts behind the goaltending of Rachel Shambo, who has the most shutouts for any goalie in the region as of this week.

“Their No. 2 state rank demonstrates how committed to the sport these girls are — and it reflects all the best emotions — they love each other, they love the sport and their school, and they’ve come together, shoulder to shoulder in their campaign this season,” he said.

One factor McLaughlin didn’t mention was his team’s perseverance under pressure — a character trait they demonstrated Oct. 1 playing against 2015 Sectional champions Schoharie which at the time was ranked No. 2 in the state. Lake George was down by a point with half a minute to go and the Warriors set up and scored the tying goal with 15 seconds left in regulation — then won the game with a goal in the second overtime.

“I’m humbled to have a team of this quality” he continued. “Look what they’ve given me for my last season — they’ve given me a fairy tale.”

McLaughlin said that his 2016 team has smashed every girls soccer defensive and offensive record in girls soccer at Lake George. Indeed, the Lake George team has eight players on the list of top scorers in the region, besides the expertise of the Warriors playing defense.

“This is Cinderella stuff,” McLaughlin concluded with a smile. “We have a beautiful thing going — It’s like a dream and I hope we don’t wake up.”

each other is what the North Country does best.”

PLATTSBURGH — The United Way last week announced that they intend on raising $725,000 in donations by February 2017.

The charitable organization kickstarted its campaign last week and revealed they have raised $165,693.25 so far.

With United Way already at 24 percent of their overall goal, officials are optimistic.

“This is the most generous and wonderful community to live in,” said United Way Board President Vicki Marking. ‘We are going to be successful.”

At the kickoff event last week, United Way Director of Development Kathy Snow and Director of Finance Marion Daniels thanked past donors for their contributions, naming each of them during their prepared remarks.

United Way plans on using the monies raised to help serve their 42 partner agencies.

Last year, those groups aided 80,000 people in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties.

“I have no doubt this goal will be made,” Assemblywoman Janet Duprey said. “Helping

So far, over $160,000 has been raised and Campaign Chair Amy the local food shelf Kretser said she’s optimistic about reaching that goal.

Tupper Lake invites tourists to ‘connect and discover’ with new branding TUPPER LAKE — The town and village of Tupper Lake have announced the launch of the new Tupper Lake brand.

A brand is a unique image and message that increases awareness of the community for both tourism and economic development when adopted and integrated consistently.

The Tupper Lake brand message and logotype treatment is the culmination of a comprehensive, collaborative process conducted over the course of a year. Research included a series of public meetings, surveys of both residents and visitors, and a virtual focus group of local stakeholders.

The new brand concept incorporates a logo image that represents a hemlock cone with its scales beginning to open, and the full logo treatment includes the tagline “Connect and Discover.”

Strong, elegant letters make up the custom, hand-drawn typography that is exclusive to Tupper Lake, and depicts the skyline using two tones to convey the view from the Tupper Lake Municipal Park looking west over Raquette Pond as the sun sets behind Mount Arab.

“This brand reflects the many facets of our community and its assets, and is representative of both the natural and the cultural landscape, with a nod to the brick-and-mortar places for discovery such as the Adirondack Public Observatory and The Wild Center,” said Patricia Littlefield, Tupper Lake town supervisor. “The hemlock cone is Tupper Lake’s version of the Nike swoosh or Apple logo; it’s perfect for us. We are thrilled with the outcome of all the hard work and efforts that went into this and look forward to seeing the brand incorporated into the signage around town.”

“This concept really captures the many authentic elements that define Tupper Lake, and we welcome its launch at a time when our community is undergoing dramatic improvement and growth,” said village Mayor Paul Maroun. “It is professional, timeless and indicates the promise of a successful future for Tupper Lake.”

The brand is being integrated into the destination website for the community, tupperlake.com, and will be gradually incorporated into the visual landscape in ways such as entry signage. Community organizations and businesses are encouraged to include the brand in their promotional materials as well. A complete description of the brand concept and guidelines, including approved uses of the logos fonts and colors, are outlined in a guide that is available for reference and download at tupperlake.com/brand.
