PLATTSBURGH — Apex Solar and Triangle Electric were selected as installers for Solarize Adirondack Coast, a program designed to make investing in solar power easier and more affordable for local residents and businesses throughout Clinton and northern Essex counties.

The town of Plattsburgh, ANCA (Adirondack North Country Association) and the local solarize planning team chose the two solar installers from Malone and Plattsburgh after a thorough pre-qualification process.

“Apex Solar and Triangle Electric have a strong presence in the North Country,” said Kate Fish, ANCA executive director,

in a statement. “We look forward to watching them grow in the coming months.”

Interested parties that sign up for solar installations by Oct. 31 will be able to take advantage of free site assessments, a streamlined installation process and competitive rates.

Plattsburgh Town Planner Trevor Cole said history has shown that participants can receive a 10 to 20 percent installation discount.

“Now is the time to go solar,” he said.

Why go solar?

Peru Free Library went solar in 2009. Since then, the library has not had one electric bill.

There’s no limit to the number of interested participants.

Cadyville Volunteer Fire Department trying again for 50th annual event on Sunday

CADYVILLE — The Cadyville Volunteer Fire Department is looking forward to its second attempt of the 50th annual Cadyville Field Day this Sunday.

The firefighters, Field Day Chair Chuck Kostyk said, refers to this day as “take Teah two.” The 50th celebration was supposed Dowling to happen June 14 of last year.

Writer But plans were nixed when Richard Matt and David Sweat escaped from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora. Six days later, the search made its way to nearby woods and communities in Plattsburgh and Cadyville.

With nothing else to worry about, so far, they’re ready to give the celebration another shot.

The day will kick off with a “huge” parade, said Kostyk, honoring all law enforcement involved in the prison escape.

After several years, the carnival rides and games are back and provided by Green Mountain Amusements. Live bands will provide the entertainment.

New this year is a waterball competition for firefighters where two teams of local firefighters will battle with hoses to see who can move a volleyball-like ball down a wire, over 10 feet from the ground, furthest and fastest.

SCHUYLER FALLS — Slowly but surely, the town is taking another step toward the incorporation of natural gas.

NYSEG will hold a public information meeting Tuesday, June 28 to answer any questions property owners may have about the expansion.

After the meeting, the town board will vote on a resolution to accept a franchise agreement with NYSEG. If approved, the feasibility study will begin on where to put the main line.

“Not everyone will get natural gas this time,” Supervisor Richard Potiker said. “But it’s a step in the right direction.”

NYSEG will be covering the expansion, so the project is no cost extra to the town.

City to explore additional stormwater pollution solutions Lake Champlain – Lake George Regional Planning Board allocate $10k toward possible U.S. Oval projects

water pollution and improves water quality in Lake Champlain.

When it rains, the stormwater is naturally routed down toward the lake and the roads and parking lots within the oval leave it vulnerable to oil, grease and other pollutants.

With the new system, that water is intercepted by a bioswale that filters out some of the pollutants and sediments.

From there, the semi-filtered water goes into one of the two catch basins through two pipes underneath the main road to the bioretention pond.

There, the rest of the pollutants and sediments are filtered.

This basin is the culmination of a two-year study to map and model the city’s stormwater infrastructure.

The City of Plattsburgh unveiled the Stormwater Bioretention Basin at the U.S. Oval Monday, July 27 last year. The basin is a state-of-the-art green infrastructure that reduces stormwater pollution and improves water quality of Lake champlain.

PLATTSBURGH — The city has received $10,000 to explore possible future stormwater pollution reduction projects.

The Lake Champlain – Lake George Regional Planning Board allocated the funds to perform a topographic survey of the U.S. Oval.

City Engineer Kevin Farrington said the board decided to explore more improvement opportunities due to the success of the Stormwater Bioretention Basin —the pond next to the City Gym filled with flowers and shrubs, surrounded by a circular walkway and sitting benches.

The state-of-the-art green infrastructure, which was unveiled last July, reduces storm-

“Storms seem to be coming more frequent and more intense,” Farrington said, who oversaw the bioretention pond project. “If you ever saw that parking lot before when it rained, it was a torrent of water.”

The study concluded that the City Gym in particular was very vulnerable to heavy rain events due to the sloping of the oval.

The city narrowed down several options to where they could put the green infrastructure and built the basin in about 30 days, thanks to a grant through the Lake Champlain Basin Program.

Farrington said possible additional projects, along with the estimated costs, will be determined with the study.

Trans-formingÊ theÊ NorthÊ Country

Advocates for transgender, gender non-conforming and LGBTQ community stop in Plattsburgh

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The journey from transitioning from male to female was a struggle for Kelly Leigh Metzgar.

The local resident said she lived in fear and hid in shame for much of her life.

But those feelings, she said, diminished as she started to help other local members undergoing the same transition.

Now, that advocating has grown to a larger scale, beginning with a community gathering that took place last week in Plattsburgh.

Metzgar, along with Long Island Transgender Advocacy Coalition Executive Director Juli Grey-Owens, hosted the event to discover the underlying issues facing the trans community today.

Health services, bullying and employment were a few of the many issues discussed of the transgender and gender nonconforming community.

One meeting attendee, who chose to only disclose her first name, Jamie, shared her struggle with hormone replacement therapy.

Jamie goes to Albany due to a lack of endocrinologists in the area.

Michelle Laurin’s daughter receives hormone therapy in Syracuse.

Metzgar said personal care providers are able to administer this treatment. However, there’s a lack of them willing to do it.

Metzgar said she was refused medical care for her hormone therapy again and again until Adirondack Health President Chandler Ralph found her a doctor in Saranac Lake.

“I could not have transitioned in a better community,” she said.

Besides a lack of services, Metzgar said the community also has a shortage of support services.

Clubs and organizations for the LGBTQ community have formed in local colleges and Plattsburgh High School.

Besides that, “there’s nothing,” Metzgar said.

The fact that the area has no center, or even a pride parade, shocked Grey-Owens.

The closest of those offerings is in Burlington, Vermont.

Due to the isolation, Shelby Davis of Mental Health Association of Essex County Inc. said members of the LGBTQ

For 25 years, the Fisher House program has provided a “home away from home” for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers. The homes provide temporary free lodging so families can be close to their loved ones during a medical crisis, allowing them to focus on wh what’s important – the healing process.

community between the ages of 10 and 24 are twice as likely to commit suicide than heterosexuals.

The number is continuously growing, she said, and for every reported suicide, there are at least four that go unreported.

“We want to make sure it doesn’t get overlooked,” she said.

Metzgar wants to start a not-for-profit for all LGBTQ community members in the North Country, serving Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. She’s hopeful to get it up and running in July.

Raising awareness in local schools is another goal.

The overall goal, Grey-Owens said, is to connect all transgender and gender non-conforming people and their families, friends and allies not just in the North Country, but across the state.

In summer 2015, Grey-Owens submitted a grant request to the Long Island Community Foundation to better organize the state’s transgender and gender non-conforming community.

After the grant was approved, Grey-Owens contacted advocates around the state, formed a group and began these town hall meetings.

The get-togethers act as a way to gather issues, come up with possible solutions and put the findings into an legislative agenda to take to Albany.

“We want to see what we can get done,” said Grey-Owens.

“And more importantly we want our voices to be heard.”

In January, the New York State Division of Human Rights adopted new regulations that ban discrimination and harassment against transgender and gender non-conforming persons.

The regulations clarified that gender dysphoria (distress caused when a person’s assigned birth gender is not the same as the one with which they identify) is included under the category of “disability” and that gender identity or expression is also included under the category “gender” within the Human Rights Law. These regulations were first introduced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in October — marking the first time that any governor has issued statewide regulations to prohibit harassment and discrimination.

However, there’s currently no statewide law that explicitly prohibits discrimination against transgender and gender non-conforming people.

This means that people who are fired from their jobs or are denied housing and services because of their appearance or gender identity do not have legal protection. “It’s not fair,” Grey-Owens said.

The Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA) is a solution to this problem, said Metzgar.

The Assembly passed GENDA on April 30, but now it needs to pass through the Senate.

Juli Grey-Owens

Kelly Leigh Metzgar The issue: it has never come to a vote on the floor of the Senate even though the Assembly passed it several times.

Nine to be exact.

Sixteen states and the District of Columbia protect the civil rights of all their residents, including transgender and gender non-conforming people.

GENDA, if approved, would add gender identity —how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves either as male, female, a blend of both or neither — and gender expression — the external appearance of one’s gender identity, usually expressed through behavior, clothing, haircut or voice — to the categories currently included in New York State’s anti-discrimination laws, such as sex, sexual orientation, race, religion and disability.

The town hall meetings, Grey-Owens said, is a step in the right direction.

“It’s not lawful to discriminate against transgenders,” GreyOwens said. “We want equal rights.”

State report rips prison for failing to prevent escape Systemic failures, chronic complacency led to prison break, says scathing report issued on one-year anniversary of escape

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ALBANY — One year to the day that a pair of convicted killers broke out of Clinton Correctional Facility and led authorities on a three-week manhunt, the state Inspector General’s office released a scathing report detailing the conditions that led to the escape.

General Catherine Leahy Scott skewered the overall operating culture of the prison in the long-awaited report, which chalked the escape of inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat up to the “chronic complacency” and “systemic failures” of security procedures at Clinton Correctional in Dannemora.

“The extent of complacency and failure to adhere to the most basic security standards uncovered by my investigation was egregious and inexcusable,” said Scott.

The 154-page report, released on Monday, traced how the inmates manipulated employees into giving them the tools that facilitated their escape, which they then used to cut through cell walls, carve a hole in a steam pipe, slither through the bowels of the prison and break through a concrete wall with a found sledgehammer before emerging through a manhole outside the walls of the maximum security prison.

“Over the course of approximately 85 nights that Sweat was working in the tunnels under the prison, more than 400 inmate bed checks should have occurred, any one of which, if conducted properly, would have detected Sweat’s absence and instantly foiled the escape plot,” read the report.

The findings, which included testimony from 170 witnesses, painted a damning portrait of a culture of neglect in the prison, where lapses in basic security were described as “longstanding,” allowing the pair to escape “almost in plain sight.”

Prior to the breakout on June 6, the first in over a century, correction officers regularly cut corners, declining to search cells, conduct night counts

and perform the searches of employees’ bags that would have likely led to the confiscation of the contraband the pair used to escape the facility.

Two employees were arrested in connection with the incident.

The report described the relationship the inmates cultivated with Joyce Mitchell, the civilian employee who supervised the pair at the prison’s sewing shop, and a guard, Gene Palmer, to obtain the tools and privileges needed to execute the plan, which was hatched in January 2015.

Palmer, a long-term employee who referred to himself as a “go-to guy,” developed a close relationship with the two inmates, both of whom lived on the honor block he was tasked with guarding.

The relationship appeared to go far deeper than what many correction officers who spoke in his defense argued was a necessary part of keeping the lid on an simmering and hostile environment.

Sweat and Matt, both talented artists, created elaborate paintings in exchange for prison intelligence (which prison brass later testified wasn’t useful or particularly reliable) and special privileges, including access to the catwalk behind their cells.

Palmer granted the access so Sweat could re-wire circuitry to allow for higher-amperage hotplates, which inmates used to cook food. But the prisoner also used the time behind the walls to map out the pair’s future escape route.

Both inmates were allowed to bypass metal detectors — Matt would often be transported from the workshop to his cell indirectly by way of the infirmary, where he often requested to be taken for “back pain” — and helped facilitate Sweat in his reassignment back to the tailor shop from the prison library, where he was temporarily exiled for making “inappropriate comments.”

The guard tipped Matt off to cell searches and helped aid Sweat’s relocation to a cell next to Matt, where they worked on their escape plan, passing tools back and forth and refining their strategy to manipulate Mitchell, who by then, had developed a deep infatuation with both.

Palmer’s relationship was so close with Matt, the guard testified, that the inmate had vowed to kill any inmate who assaulted him.

Officers also failed to properly conduct at least 15 required weekly inspec-

tions of “cell integrity” to include examination of bars, floors, vents, walls, and rear of the cell from the catwalks.

“These inspections, if performed as required, would have revealed the breaches in the walls of Sweat’s and Matt’s cells,” read the report.

A pre-escape inspection of Matt’s cell, for instance, failed to find the 18” x 14” hole cut using the hacksaw blades and a screwdriver bit smuggled in by Mitchell.

Palmer, in fact, testified that officers on occasion would “forge” reports falsely indicating that searches had occurred and no contraband uncovered.

Even more damning is that DOCCS’ central office failed to approve a lockdown requested just one week before the breakout by the prison’s nowdeposed superintendent, Steve Racette.

DOCCS internal affairs division also failed to uncover an inappropriate relationship between Mitchell and Sweat despite repeated documented allegations, including an incident that resulted in a write-up in September 2014, just seven months before the escape.

“As noted, based on past experience, supervisors were reluctant to bring charges against, or even reprimand, Mitchell for such behavior,” read the report. “To do so, they feared, would likely provoke claims of harassment from Mitchell and possibly from her husband, Lyle Mitchell, as well.”

All told, monitoring and inspection programs failed to detect any of what the report referred to as “security deficiencies.”

Once Sweat successfully cut through his cell wall, he spent weeks searching for an escape route, returning each morning looking visibly “frail and exhausted,” according to Mitchell’s supervisor. “[I]t felt good, because you kind of felt free,” >> PRISON BREAK | pg. 10

s America really all that angry or are we just feeling frustrated over hearing lots of talk and seeing very little action?

We know whichever side may be speaking, they will twist the statistics to justify their points, providing ammo for either side to believe what they choose to believe, but I think more than anything America is frustrated over too many promises and not nearly enough action, especially where it counts.

Angry voices and political candidate bluster seems to have captivated our fighting spirit. Look around our country today or even our local communities; you’ll see far more brotherly love and good works than riots in the streets and destruction over limited necessities.

Oh sure, we all long for positive change and prosperity. We would all like to quit complaining about the state of so very many things but we always need to take a step back and look at our own situation.

Is our glass half full, half empty or somewhere in between?

It’s easy to get caught up in the foul language and get your blood boiling when we are bombarded with destructive images and out of character activities by a very few who are trying to make a statement, but when calmer heads prevail far too many are reacting to nothing more than bluster and not real action.

In many ways we’ve been asleep at the voting booth for too many years. The majority of eligible voters have failed to engage in the system by casting a vote, a trend that has continued to grow.

In 2008 just the promise of hope and change was enough to get Senator Obama elected.

Sadly, hope and change became more of the same and keep on hoping.

Regardless of who is elected, once the elections are over the wheels of bureaucratic government will move at a slow pace.

Every candidate running for president always says: “On the first day in office I will….”

Well just remember, that first day is chocked full of ceremonial things, but little of it has anything to do with changing our lives.

The experiment that we call the United States of America has always been a nation of change, adjusting and reacting to the forces applied, both internally and externally. What doesn’t change is our ability to adapt and meld the new into the old, like it or not, we are a resilient people.

Despite our many mistakes we’ve been able to take corrective measures and keep the vision of America alive for all who continue to seek her promise of opportunity and freedom. This election is not going to change that in the slightest.

CNN’s great 1670 iPhone mystery W There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission... ith America going to hell in a handbasket, you can always rely on one of our most turned-to national television news outlets to provide us with vital, breaking news—such as the recent CNN report of Apple CEO Tim Cooke spying an iPhone in a 346-year-old Dutch master’s painting.

Cooke was on an European junket when CNN reported that he had just finished a tour of Amsterdam’s famous Rijks Art Museum. Apparently, the Apple chief found something there of profound historic import—and for a day it made the news feeds.

The morning after the museum visit, in a televised gathering with international business writers, Cooke was asked by a reporter (in what has all the earmarks of a sly setup) about the invention of the iPhone.

“You know, I thought I knew until last night. Last night, Neelie took me over to look at some Rembrandt and in one of the paintings I was so shocked. There was an iPhone in one of the paintings,” the CEO told the reporter.

The mysterious art work Cooke referred to was a painting by Pieter de Hooch created in 1670.

The Apple CEO must have been facetious about his firm’s invention (the iPhone) appearing in the circa 1670 painting; however, it was delivered deadpan and we never did hear the “rest of the story”, as the late Paul Harvey used to say.

So what about this overlooked 17th-century Dutch masterwork?

Perhaps the spirit of the French occultist Nostradamus was in the studio to guide the brushstrokes of De Hooch?

Nah—how about a little dab of Occam’s Razor, the skeptic’s pocket tool which works 99.9 percent of the time in solving mysteries. So, if taken as a real story about a spooky anachronism, is it really an iPhone or something far less sexy in the De Hooch painting?

According to TruNews website, this weird coincidence was not the first time “modern technology” appears in pre-modern history.

“In 1901 an artifact dubbed the Antikythera mechanism was recovered from a shipwreck off of (the island of) Antikythera (in Greece). When the device was analyzed with X-ray technology by Scientist Derek de Solla Price in 1974, it was

discovered that the mechanism was an ancient analog computer, produced likely between 150-250 B.C.... Another example from history of advanced technology being found in the ancient world is the Baghdad Battery... dated between 220-320 B.C.” Sure, most of us know that ancient civilized peoples were just as intelligent as we moderns. Still, we don’t have to swoon over fantastic TV reports about “lost advanced technologies” such as seer Edgar Cayce’s channeled Atlantean nonsense of the 1940s.

Consider Egypt’s pyramids, Rome’s Pantheon, and Anatolia’s vanished towers of Illium; even the ancient Minoans, whose destruction gave rise to the myth of Atlantis, had cushy creature comforts at home—well, sort of.

On the island of Crete, you hear that wealthy Minoans had “flush toilets” and central air conditioning at home around 1500 B.C. Sure it sounds fantastic on the face of it, but Minoan A.C. was nothing more than partitioning a room with wooden shutters that were used to control the inside air flow. And those ancient “flush toilets” often described? Running water systems that were certainly far less advanced than our modern plumbing.

Nor would I proclaim the Bagdad Battery, a clay jar that may have (may have) been a primitive electroplating device, and the Antikythera mechanism (a decidedly less than high-tech clocklike navigation device) “advanced technology”.

No matter, the reporters writing about Tim Cooke’s 2016 encounter with a 1670 smartphone had some fun, but buried the story’s lead.

And what was the lead? The title of the painting—“Man Hands a Letter to a Woman in a Hall”, so named by the artist himself.

De Hooch’s artwork portrays a seated woman and a man holding what appears to be a modern smartphone. Look closer and you’ll see it’s nothing more than a folded, handwritten paper letter. Sorry to disappoint. Occam’s Razor rules out all other explanations.

“I always thought I knew when the iPhone was invented, but now I’m not so sure anymore,” Cooke said during his televised meeting. Eh? The popular communications gadget was, in fact, introduced in 2007.

We now return control of your television set to you.

LETTERS

TownÊ boardÊ meetingsÊ areÊ notÊ intendedÊ toÊ beÊ openÊ discussionÊ forums To the Editor: “The recent two letters that you published from Keith Parent Sr. require some correct information to both Mr. Parent and to others in our community.

• Town Board Meeting is for the Board to conduct business. The public is invited to LISTEN to their deliberations. It is NOT an “open” meeting, nor a workshop nor a hearing where public participation is necessarily expected and invited.

• By law, the Board and Supervisor MAY chose to open “privilege of the floor” for people to speak to the Board about an issue or concern. Many towns do not have privilege of the floor on any regular basis.

• By resolution passed several years ago, a speaker

may speak for three minutes or read a one page letter, choosing to “submit it for the official minutes” of the meeting.

• Letters sent to the Clerk, are by this resolution, to be announced as to issue and writer and then placed in the file for public perusal. They are not to be read nor entered on the minutes.

• If participants cannot abide by the guidelines of the public participation, it is totally within the rights of the Supervisor and Board to ask the speaker to yield the floor, ask them to leave or have them removed in order to continue the meeting. The meeting can, if needed, be ended. Mr. Parent would certainly find in the minutes a “second to the motion” to close the meeting.

• Responsibility comes with rights! The intent of the guidelines is to run a democratic meeting where different viewpoints may be heard and where no one person or group shuts down the rights of others to speak.

If you want to fault Ms. Wood, fault her for believing that “privilege of the floor” is important; fault her for not taking the advice of other Supervisors to not open the floor for comment; fault her for listening to tirades with rudeness and attack; fault her for not insisting on the guidelines for public participation so that many have pushed the envelope and we are out of control; fault her for not having inappropriate participants removed; fault her for her patience in trying month after month to open the floor and fielding “gotcha” questions.

I, too, Mr. Parent, arrived at the last meeting 24 hours home from the hospital and wearing a mask for self protection, wanting to speak. I find it offensive that “privilege of the floor” and the whole Board Meeting had to be closed down because a few people cannot understand nor respect the democratic rights of others to speak or to have a different opinion.

GUEST VIEWPOINT

Transparency in medicine isn’t a one way street Peter J. Pitts> Center for Medicine in the Public Interest

www.cmpi.org/

A

majority of Americans believe increased healthcare transparency should be a top national priority. It’s easy to understand why. Rising healthcare costs, coupled with high profile stories of pricegouging at some small pharmaceutical companies, have left consumers feeling ripped off, especially when it comes to drug prices.

But most drug companies aren’t whimsically increasing prices. In fact, if the healthcare industry was really transparent, people could see the truth: drug companies often aren’t the culprits behind high costs. In fact, they’re the best hope for dramatically lowering healthcare spending. The so-called pharmaceutical “transparency” bills under consideration around the country won’t solve the price gouging problem, but they will make it harder to create the medicines that will actually reduce healthcare costs.

The prices patients actually pay aren’t set by drug manufacturers -- they’re determined by pharmacy benefit managers, insurers, hospitals, and pharmacies.

And these third parties frequently engage in … price-gouging.

Consider the “prescription price shell game” uncovered in Minneapolis, where a local CVS jacked up the price of a kidney medication to more than $6 per pill from 87 cents. Or the Levine Cancer Institute in North Carolina, which collected nearly $4,500 for a colon cancer drug that hospitals typically buy for $60.

Unfortunately, the media largely ignores such abuses, preferring to concentrate just on alleged misbehavior or greed by pharmaceutical companies.

When one drug maker released a breakthrough Hepatitis C cure, headline after headline blasted the company for the drug’s initial $84,000 price tag.

Few follow-up stories have noted that, because of competition from other drug makers, the manufacturer granted such big discounts -- often in excess of 50 percent -- that the medicine now costs less in the United States than in price-controlled Europe.

Even fewer stories put America’s healthcare spending in perspective.

Name-brand drugs accounted for just 7 percent of $100 billion increase in healthcare spending from 2013 to 2014.

Of course, medicines aren’t cheap to create. The average cost of developing an FDA-approved prescription medication is $2.6 billion, according to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development. That represents a 145 percent increase over the past decade. For every successful new compound, hundreds of others once deemed promising end up abandoned.

Understandably, pharmaceutical companies don’t love to publicize their frequent failures. As a result, everyday Americans only see the successful, profitable drugs -- and the high price tags that stem from the cost of research plus the markups tacked on by third parties.

Misguided activists in multiple states, including California and New York, are capitalizing on public anger about seemingly overpriced drugs to advance legislation that would require companies to disclose their profits on certain high priced medicines, and the costs associated with developing them.

Such “transparency” bills won’t paint a representative picture of pharmaceutical profits or stop healthcare price gouging, especially among hospitals, insurers, and pharmacies. But that’s not the real purpose of the bills anyways.

The proposed laws are prerequisites to price control bills that would let the government cap drug prices.

Consumers are justifiably mad about healthcare costs. But their anger is misdirected. If the healthcare industry was truly transparent, Americans would see who’s really to blame for rising prices. With rare exception, it’s not the companies creating lifesaving medicines.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TLYPÊ workingÊ toÊ keepÊ youngÊ peopleÊ inÊ ADKÕ s To the Editor: As the community foundation of the Adirondack region, we spend a lot of time in the community. Lately, we’ve noticed a promising trend: more and more young people are visiting the Tri-Lakes, and some of them are starting to move here to open up businesses or join the workforce.

Sure, it’s anecdotal—but sometimes you have to trust what you’re seeing.

We commend the Tri-Lakes Young Professionals (TLYP) for convening the young people who’ve decided to make the Adirondacks their home, and for building a network that keeps growing by the day.

On May 12, Adirondack Foundation teamed with TLYP to host a mixer at Heaven Hill Farm. With our special guest, Lansie Sylvia of Here’s My Chance, we explored how young people can give back and get involved.

We look forward to working with TLYP and the Adirondack Nonprofit Network to promote ways for our young residents across the Adirondacks to stay engaged with their communities.

Special thanks to TLYP’s board for helping organize the mixer: Ashley Andrews, Sarah Wheeler, James Maswick, Kerry Blinn, Betsy Baxter, Jess Collier, Jeff Farrell, and Stephanie Gysel. Thanks also to Chris and Catherine Ericson of the Lake Placid Pub & Brewery for donating beer for the evening, and to the Uihlein Foundation for providing a beautiful space.

We encourage you to stay connected to TLYP by following them on Facebook. To learn how Adirondack Foundation and the Adirondack Nonprofit Network are working to foster the next generation of nonprofit leadership, visit adirondackfoundation.org or call 523-9904.

WhatÊ moneyÊ isÊ beingÊ saved?

To the Editor: I do not understand how the five year $3.6 million county highway bond for county highway equipment approved by the Essex County Board of Supervisors Highway Committee will save tax money. The bond issue actually creates an automatic payment of $700,000 a year into the budget, takes away the authority of the supervisors and the taxpayers to question equipment at the budget preparation and hearings.

The county should explore equipment and highway construction programs with a town and county shared program that does not charge each other for services and use. The taxpayers will get more for their tax dollar.

The duplication of town and county highway departments’ equipment and road construction is a large cost to the taxpayers.

I am quite sure allowing the county highway to spend taxpayers money on a bond note will cause other county departments to do the same. One must remember that it is the responsibility of the board of supervisors to control spending and question the need for spending.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Obey? Really?

Gordie Little

Columnist

“To honor and obey.” They were part of our vows when Kaye and I exchanged rings in 1974.

We still love and honor each other.

We hold hands like young lovers when walking down the street. But, “obey?” Not so much.

Someone commented on how “quaint it is” after watching us hold hands walking on the sand at Myrtle Beach. Are we an anomaly? I hope not.

I understand why couples these days, eliminate the “obey” part. Even though theologians argue the point, I do not miss “obedience” in the vows.

One of our most cherished possessions is a marriage certificate from Kaye’s ancestors. The wording is unique from that union in Montreal more than two hundred years ago.

Our friend Les Bradford visited last week. He reminded me that he let me borrow a tiny book that is special. That was a while ago and, for a few minutes, I couldn’t remember it.

Noting my immense chagrin, Kaye jumped up, left the room and in two minutes, strode back, handing me that little book. The sweat around my neck began to dry and all was right with the world. How I love that woman.

Inside the cover is a depiction of “The Marriage in Cana,” the first miracle attributed to Jesus, when he turned water into wine. Next, comes the two-page spread certifying that Mr. Joseph W. Bradford and Miss Celia C. Walch are “united in marriage.”

It’s a time capsule from Middleborough, Massachusetts, November 4, 1858. J. W. Putnam, pastor of “1st church” made it official with his signature.

The tiny tome is titled “The Christian Minister’s Affectionate Advice to a Married Couple.” At 4 ½ inches by 3, it contains 97 pages and took a lot of squinting for me to get through it.

Those people in the mid 1800’s must have had excellent vision.

I doubt if that newly married couple sat down on the bed prior to the consummation of their marriage and read it cover-to-cover before hitting the sheets. But, some of the advice is interesting. In referring to “conjugal affection,” it warns, “sullen taciturnity checks its growth.”

Another quote: “A woman must guard against the tormenting disappointments to which childish expectations render her liable.” What?

My favorite is: “There should likewise be some allowance made for what is natural to men, especially Englishmen: namely, a certain bluntness, through which they seem to be indifferent when they are really not so.” Sound familiar, ladies?

Some of you might not agree with advice from Ephesians 5:22: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands..for the husband is the head of the wife.” Sorry, those tenets don’t apply in our household. Although I am more than three times bigger than Kaye, we take turns being boss. And when it comes to important decisions, her opinion is always tantamount or better than mine.

It’s a treasure for Les and a delight for me to hold and read 158 years after that Massachusetts marriage.

Love, live and be happy. It works for Kaye and me. This husband is definitely not the head of this wife and I like it this way.

Prison Break From page 5

Sweat testified. “You know, you weren’t caged up in the cell no more. Nobody knew where you were. I always left my ID in my cell, you know, when I left the cell, so I didn’t feel like I was an inmate anymore. It gave me that little feel of freedom because whenever I left my cell, on a normal basis, I always had my ID. And it was different for me, you know, after 14 years, or 13, or whatever it’s been. It was something new, it was doing something that I could actually use my mind for, that I could apply myself to.”

After discovering a toolbox left behind by a contractor, Sweat convinced Mitchell into smuggling in additional tools, including the concrete bits necessary to operate a power drill, which she promptly delivered within days (But much to the inmate’s chagrin, the contractor later retrieved the box before Sweat could use the device).

Sweat continued to work. After sketching out an escape

route, the inmate cut through a chain securing a manhole cover, popped his head up and surveyed the landscape: Perfect.

Sweat preferred the spot, shaded by a pair of leafy trees, because it was out-of-sight of two guard towers. But, as the report noted, it didn’t matter because neither had been staffed at night for decades.

Mitchell, who backed out of a plan to serve as a getaway driver, was sentenced to 2-1/3 to seven years in state prison in September and ordered to pay $80,000 in restitution costs.

Palmer pled guilty to promoting prison contraband and was sentenced to six months in county jail, and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine, in February.

Sweat was sentenced 3 1/2 to 7 years on top of his lifetime sentence for killing a Broome County Sheriff ’s deputy in 2002.

Three high-ranking officials, including Racette, were terminated in the aftermath of the escape, as were nine other staffers.

And Lyle, also a civilian employee at the prison, appears to

be sticking by his wife. If given the chance, he said he would “probably not” tip off prison management about his wife’s inappropriate behavior, instead placing blame on front gate security staff for not inspecting bags.

The report also appeared to put the kibosh on a broader conspiracy.

For instance, Scott instructed staffers to cut through a 18” steam pipe using similar tools. They did so in two hours. A similar test to cut through a 3/16-inch-thick steel plate that served as their cell walls was completed in less than four hours.

As part of the report’s findings, Scott issued a number of recommendations to safeguard against another incident, which terrified the region and led to overtime costs upwards of $23 million.

Among tightening up the procedural gaps that led to the escape, Scott announced the creation of a specialized team within her office to “independently audit and monitor adherence to statewide and facility specific operations policies and procedures across all correctional facilities in the state.”

Since last June, DOCCS has instituted a number of reforms to “strengthen operations” at Clinton Correctional, including installing new cameras and security gates, retraining staff, disciplining responsible employees, appointing a new superintendent and replacing other senior administrative personnel, said Thomas Bailey, a DOCCS spokesman.

“We are reviewing the Inspector General’s findings and will work with her office to implement her recommendations to improve operations at Clinton and throughout the entire system, and help ensure this incident is never repeated,” Bailey said.

The escape immediately drew comparisons to the iconic prison escape flick “Shawshank Redemption.”

The similarity wasn’t lost on the inmates, who joked about the film several times, according to testimony provided by Sweat.

At one point, they cracked that while it took protagonist Andy Dufresne 20 years to escape, they could do it in 10.

After burrowing their way to freedom shortly before midnight on June 5, the pair waited for 10 minutes before emerging from the manhole: “Shawshank ain’t got s��t on me,” Sweat told investigators.

JAY — The past week had been a good one for Joe and Norma DeMarco.

Joe turned 90 on May 22 and the couple drove to Ohio to spend time with five generations of their big Italian family.

As they were cruising up the Adirondack Northway last week, the last leg of an 800-mile trip that saw them stay overnight in Syracuse, Joe was primarily concerned with picking up a gallon of milk.

Until they saw the pair of motorcycles waiting for them at the exit.

Danny Kaifetz and a pal escorted the DeMarcos back to their cozy alpine-style chalet in AuSable Acres, where a delegation of friends and neighbors were waiting for them.

So was a gleaming new flagpole.

Kaifetz owns Adirondack Flagpoles, the only wooden flagpole maker in the country. Each year, the Vietnam veteran gives away one handcrafted Northern Red Oak pole to a combat vet.

Solarize

From page 1

NYSEG will hold a public information meeting Tuesday, June 28 in the town hall to answer any questions property owners may have about the natural gas expansion.

Gas Expansion

From page 1

The only cost to the taxpayers, said the supervisor, would be if their property does not fall within 100 feet of the main line.

The exact cost of the total project will be dependent on how many residents are on board to participate and what streets will be used for the first expansion.

Potiker said he anticipates the town to have natural gas within three to five years.

The town is not unfamiliar with long waiting periods.

Discussions to incorporate natural gas in the town began about five years ago after town residents expressed their interest in finding a less expensive way to heat their homes – the biggest push being in 2014 when town discussions became larger and research began.

As discussions continued, the town reached a standstill on where the main gas line would be placed.

Initially, the town looked to bring the line through on Route 22B across the old bridge where the town of Plattsburgh gas line ends.

Potiker said NYSEG refused to put the gas lines on the bridge due to it being too unstable.

Ice jams and flooding were big concerns.

“It was obvious that the bridge wasn’t going to last that long,” said Potiker.

Instead, they said the only way they could get the line through was by the rockbed of the river — putting the cost of the project out of reach.

Different suggestions arose on where to place the lines. However, Potiker said the town ultimately decided to wait on the bridge to be replaced.

The Morrisonville Bridge opened September 2015, which also opened the gateway toward the natural gas expansion.

The public information meeting will take place Tuesday, June 28 at 5:30 in the town hall.

The regular town meeting will follow. For more information, visit www.schuylerfallsny.com.

boundaries and on the grid.

“We hope to get as many participants as we can,” said Town Supervisor Michael Cashman.

The town and ANCA announced in March the beginning stages of the campaign, which is part of the second round of Governor Cuomo’s NY-Sun Initiative that launched in December 2014.

A series of campaigns kicked off in 2015 with the Tri-Lakes, Canton and Akwesasne regions.

The second round, which also includes Ogdensburg, is supported by NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority).

NY-Sun will invest up to $1 billion in solar power through 2023 to significantly expand solar installations across the state.

The overall goal of this initiative is to ultimately transform New York’s solar industry to become self-sustaining.

“Cuomo is challenging us to explore different ways to be successful in our communities,” said Town of Plattsburgh Councilwoman Meg LeFevre. “Building relationships and finding common goals is where we start.”

The campaign kick-off will take place Wednesday, June 15 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Clinton Community College in the Stafford Science Building. There will be client testimonials, a joint solar presentation and a Q&A portion.

Field Day

Classic fair foods such as hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages, French fries and cotton candy will be served, along with clams and clam chowder.

Adult beverages will also be available.

The event started as a fundraiser for the fire department to raise additional funds for equipment.

Exactly, 50 years later, its purpose is almost the same.

All proceeds will benefit the Cadyville Fire Department. Kostyk is hopeful the event will raise over $1,000. He’s more hopeful of a large turnout.

“This event isn’t about the money but keeping the community active,” he said. “It’s one of our dwindling number of community events available.

“It’s just a good opportunity for people in the area to get out and get together.”

The CFD’s 50th annual Field Day “Take Two” will take place Sunday, June 12 from noon to 5 p.m. at St. James Church.

Admission is free. Rides, games and food cost money. Parking will be available at the field day grounds and on the field of a local farmer between the grounds and the fire station.

For more information, email Kostyk at cadyfd130@charter.net.

CLINTONVILLE — A host of athletes from Section VII will be making their way to Syracuse this weekend for the NYSPHSAA Track and Field Championships, set for June 1011 at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.

Athletes prepared for events during the Section VII state qualifier meet June 3 at AuSable Valley High School, where Saranac’s Mitch Fink and Desiree Dashnaw each claimed the pentathlon.

Fink scored 2,869 points to win the boys five-event contest, placing first in the 110-hurdles, high jump, shot put and long jump. He placed fourth in the 1,500. Fink beat out AuSable Valley’s Joseph Forker, who scored 2.233 points(first place in the 1,500; second place high jump and long jump), while Ticonderoga’s Cody Huestis finished third with 2,069 points (second place 110 hurdles and shot put). Peru’s Aaryn Clark finished with 1,940 points.

In the girls pentathlon, Dashnaw scored 2,274 points thanks to wins in the 100 hurdles, long jump, high jump and 800. Teammate Hannah Desserault had won the shot put to finish second with 2,072 points, while Peru’s Kira Fisher scored 1,509.

AIMP now ‘Breastfeeding Friendly’

PLATTSBURGH — Adirondack Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, P.C. (AIMP) was officially designated a ‘New York State Breastfeeding Friendly Practice’ Wednesday, May 4.

The New York State Department of Health recognized the office as the second practice in Franklin County to receive this achievement. AIMP has made promoting, supporting and maintaining breastfeeding a priority in their office and the community.

“Our office tries every day to support and encourage families to help them learn more about breastfeeding,” said Pediatrician Patricia Monroe. “Encouraging breastfeeding is one of the first ways we as medical professionals can help parents raise a happy, healthy child.”

As part of the process, the practice has implemented policies and procedures such as ongoing staff training, maintaining a breastfeeding friendly office environment and facilitating internal and external referral opportunities for mothers and infants. The practice also promotes a culture within the office that supports breastfeeding as the best way to feed one’s baby.

Because of the well-documented health benefits of breastfeeding for infants, children and mothers, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Department of Health and Human Services recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, with continued breastfeeding as long as mutually desired by mother and infant.

For more information about receiving Breastfeeding Friendly Designation, visit health.ny.gov/community/pregnancy/breastfeeding.
