$38 million airport revitalization projects will now require union help

Councilman Michael Kelly (Ward 2) last week said that with the mayor’s proposal in hand, the council will now aim to pass the 2018 budget by Oct. 1.

The first two projects will go out to bid at the end of the month, according to Deputy Administrator Rodney Brown.

All projects must be completed by October 2018, per state guidelines.

CITY OFFICIALS SEEK I CLARITY ON IT PLAN

PLATTSBURGH | County, city lawmakers question if promised savings will materialize. pg. 7

A PLA would require every winning contractor to have a 2-to-1 union to nonunion worker ratio.

Controversy arose over the proposed PLA last month when contractor Jeff

Luck, of Luck Brothers, told legislators that the plan would discriminate against local companies like his that don’t employ union help.

Legislator Simon Conroy (Area 4) disputed Luck’s claim, saying that he would still be able to bid like every other company, but would need to hire a certain amount of union help. » Story Continued on pg. 17

The decision comes after a state-suggested, county-commissioned study concluded that imposing a PLA on the $40 million Upstate Airport Economic Development projects could net $3 million in savings.

Locals sink shots for cancer fighters Annual ‘Pink the Links’ golf tourney returns Aug. 19

Last year, the tournament raised $1,000 for cancer patients throughout the North Country, according to Garrant.

By Elizabeth Izzo

The format for the nine-hole tournament is a four-person scramble. So far, 10 teams have signed up to compete.

REPORTER

PLATTSBURGH | The third annual ‘Pink the Links’ golf tourney will return Aug. 19.

All proceeds from the event will go to Pink Heals, a nationwide volunteer group that raises awareness and money through local chapters for community members battling cancer.

“We help out whatever way that we can, either monetarily or just by showing support for them and that there are other people out there that do care,” said Northern New York Pink Heals Chapter President Jim Garrant.

“All of the funds that we raise stay local to help local people in their fight with cancer,” he said.

The relationship between golf and Pink Heals stems from Pink Heals Founder Dave Graybill, according to their website.

In 2003, Graybill organized sponsors and spent five months hitting a golf ball across America to raise money for sick children.

Four years later, Pink Heals was born.

The 3rd annual ‘Pink the Links’ golf tournament is slated for Aug. 19 from 1-6 p.m at the Barracks Golf Course in Plattsburgh.

The deadline to sign up was Aug. 12, but

spectators are welcome at the event.

“For the people that don’t play golf they can still help out the cause by sponsoring a hole in honor or in memory of someone,” said Garrant.

The fee is $25 for a sign placed on the golf course.

The group also sells T-shirts and other items, which will be available for purchase at the golf course clubhouse on the day of the tournament.

Jet crash still haunts relatives Corporate jet disappeared over Lake Champlain in 1971

By Lohr McKinstry W RITER

MORIAH | In 1971, a corporate jet vanished from radar screens over Lake Champlain soon after takeoff from Burlington International Airport.

Despite numerous search efforts since, it has never been found and is believed to be at the murky bottom of the lake.

The plane, a Rockwell 1121 Jet Commander, may have gone down near Thompson’s Point at Charlotte, Vt., across from Essex and Whallon’s Bay, NY some believe.

Barbara Nikitas, whose uncle, George Nikita, was the pilot of the private jet, has been staying in the area to try to get the search going again.

“The plane has never been found and in the last four years we have been searching again for the plane,” she said. “My uncle was the pilot. Basically what we’re looking for is to ask if anyone has had anything wash up on their property or if anyone remembers anything from back then or if they were told anything.”

The plane could be anywhere between Burlington and the south end of the lake to Moriah.

“We are so perplexed about what happened that night and we just can’t get a handle on where this plane could be,” Nikitas said.

She said she’s been in contact with a woman who lives near the Essex ferry landing.

“Some funny pieces of things washed up on her beach,” Nikitas said. “We don’t know what they are. They’re in the custody of the New York State Police.”

Nikitas, of Beverly Hills, Calif., said her side of the family spells their last name differently than George Nikita did.

Nikitas said the search ended in 1973-74 and started again in 2014.

“Nobody wanted to search anymore,” she said. “We got into contact with Mr. Van Laer and the search started again.”

Scott Van Laer is a state forest ranger who in his off-time tracks plane crashes in the Adirondack region.

After Van Laer met Nikitas on a wreck-chasing Internet message board, he organized a search in Lake Champlain in 2014 with state police divers and private contractors who used a mini submarine.

The twin engine jet was bound for Providence, R.I., with Nikita, a co-pilot and three businessmen from Atlanta realestate firm Cousins Properties on board. The jet vanished from radar only a few minutes after takeoff, with near-blizzard conditions reported on that day, Jan. 27.

Forty-six years later, the families of those on board would like some closure, Nikitas said.

New nonprofit headquarters nears completion

North Country Mission of Hope facility could open as soon as September

in the area.

The new facility — which previously housed the Hardcore Fitness Gym — will be the group’s first permanent home, according to Executive Director Sister Debbie Blow.

For the last 19 years, said Blow, the humanitarian nonprofit has been bouncing operations between loaned properties every three years.

By Elizabeth Izzo REPORTER

PERU | After nearly three months of renovations, the new headquarters for the North Country Mission of Hope (NCMH) is almost completed.

Courtesy of an ongoing fundraising effort, the nonprofit was able to purchase their $140,000 Peru property in June.

The new facility could be open as soon as September.

Volunteers from the NCMH have for the past 19 years traveled to Nicaragua to bolster community development, ecological sustainability, education and healthcare efforts

Volunteers began renovating the new warehouse over two months ago — but more work needs to be done, she said.

“We still have to put in some lowered ceilings and finish the electrical and plumbing,” she said. “We’ll also be painting and putting in a furnace.”

Blow said that any members of the community that may be able to help with those tasks are encouraged to call Project Manager Ronald Scarette at 518-420-2677.

ALBANY | The New York State Funeral Directors Association (NYSFDA) was pleased to present a “Friend of Funeral Service Award” to state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) recently for her state Senate sponsorship and tireless advocacy to successfully secure a law allowing funeral homes to serve light food and refreshments in New York State.

Affairs Committee Chairman and funeral director, William E. McVeigh.

Those interested in making a donation to the nonprofit can mail a check to North Country Mission of Hope, c/o Sister Debbie Blow, OP, Executive Director, P.O. Box 2522, Plattsburgh, NY — or visit their website at ncmissionofhope.org for more details.

The new North Country Mission of Hope Facility is located at the site of the former Hardcore Fitness Gym at 3452 Route 22, Peru. The nonprofit was able to purchase the new building through community donations.

Politics as Feds need to take action on usual? crumbling infrastructure

By Colin Read • COLUMNIST •

I remember from decades ago a skit at the dawn of the space race.

A comedian dressed as an astronaut was asked if the head covering he was wearing was called a crash helmet.

He responded, “Gee,

I hope not!”

I feel the same way when people ask if things always stay the same in government.

Gee, I hope not.

The other day at the end of a council meeting, I said that I hoped we as a council could do better than we’ve done in the past.

I meant no slight to anyone, but a recognition that the City of Plattsburgh is not in the best of shape, and some thorough analysis a number of years ago might have helped prevent challenges today.

I wouldn’t blame anybody, though. In civic life, a lot of things come at our leaders, from every conceivable direction.

It’s overwhelming to juggle competing interests. Every leader has coping mechanisms.

One is eternal optimism that the future is so rosy that there’s little need to struggle today. Instead, let’s spend and invest, and trust that, when our city is booming again, there’ll be plenty of capacity to pay for that spending.

That optimistic strategy is one philosophy.

Another approach is more fiscally conservative. It requires us to make every effort to protect ourselves from a pessimistic future.

That cautious approach allowed our nation to hunker down and survive the Great Depression. It also created The Greatest Generation who defined themselves by taking little and giving back a lot, and sometimes everything.

That more pessimistic strategy, borne from hardship, also has its redeeming qualities.

I prefer a balanced approach.

We must spend every nickel carefully, as if it’s our own.

Just because a leader is responsible for decisions summing to tens or hundreds of millions of dollars doesn’t mean that those decisions are any more abstract than personal decisions of what car to buy or home to rent.

Each taxpayer dollar should be spent painstakingly and with the same diligence as we reserve for decisions in our own life.

There’s room to invest, if they are prudent and extremely well thought out investments in our future that can stand the test of time.

After all, it is taxpayer money we invest.

But, that’s hard work. It’s easier to have hope.

But, hope is that last vice left in Pandora’s Box, after every other vice is removed.

Infrastructure isn’t a glamorous topic.

long-planned wastewater treatment plant.

Water and sewer projects don’t make national headlines unless there’s a crisis, like in Flint, Michigan, where people were exposed for years to lead-laced drinking water.

Facilitating these projects isn’t as simple as waving a magic wand.

Most would probably not prefer to think about what happens after they flush their toilet.

But our infrastructure is crumbling.

According to the 2017 Infrastructure Report Card released by the American Society for Civil Engineers, America’s infrastructure is rated a D+.

The fix is projected to cost at least $1 trillion.

Just about every Adirondack town is in the process of tackling large-scale water and sewer projects.

While some can be attributed to tightening state regulatory standards, deterioration is a chief cause.

Shoring up infrastructure is not an abstract concept.

Contamination from human waste pollutes the environment.

The Million Dollar Beach in Lake George has repeatedly been ordered closed this summer due to a mysterious fecal contamination, and authorities continue to search for the exact culprit.

Despite the exact cause, the abrupt closures of an popular beach illustrate how disruptive human waste can be on a tourismreliant economy.

Infrastructure is also critical for economic development.

There’s no better poster child than Elizabethtown, which continues to limp along when it comes to securing funding for their

The absence of a system is curbing economic development because businesses are unwilling to relocate to a town that lacks the proper infrastructure.

The struggling economy paired with a limited tax base has placed financial burdens on local governments attempting to meet infrastructure needs.

Enter the state, which has made funding clean water projects a leading priority.

The Clean Water Infrastructure Act has pledged up to $2.5 billion over the next five years for investments in drinking water infrastructure and water quality protections.

Paired with low interest loans, communities have a chance to bolster their infrastructure once and for all by applying for competitive funding.

Willsboro, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and Elizabethtown have all been successful in receiving partial funding.

But others have not, including the Village of Lake George, whose $4.5 million grant application to help replace their aging wastewater plant — a $17.2 million undertaking — was denied.

A study by the Fund for Lake George documented the connection between the 1930sera treatment plant and seepage streams in underground fields near Million Dollar Beach.

While no bacteria was found in the monitoring study of West Brook, excessive discharges of nitrates and other pollutants were documented, according to the Fund.

This can happen anywhere.

A report by the Adirondack Council has revealed project cost estimates for wastewater treatment facility infrastructure investments in Adirondack communities exceeds $100 million — not including the $20 million in projects currently underway.

The environmental group is asking Albany continue to increase funding.

While noble, we don’t think that’s feasible considering the state is entering murky fiscal waters: Projected revenues continue be anemic and prolonged uncertainty in Washington, D.C. makes financial planning difficult.

This is where Congress needs to show some leadership.

President Trump’s proposed $1 billion infrastructure plan largely consists of offering tax credits and other unspecified incentives to private investors.

The proposal contains just $200 billion in new spending, and maintenance of existing infrastructure and public transit projects will largely be left out.

It’s indisputable that the current legislative session has not been a success, and Congress has accomplished virtually nothing this year. As we head into fall, the president is openly sparring with members of his own party, jeopardizing his domestic agenda.

Infrastructure remains an issue tied directly to the fortunes of the people and businesses of our region, and should be prioritized by Congress.

Tackling this commonsense bipartisan issue is a chance to put the past seven months of warring behind us and start fresh.

Letters to the Editor Scaramucci vulgarity far outweighs Sen. Gillibrand’s To the Editor,

Two letters in last week’s Sun illustrate the fallacy of false equivalence — referencing a single shared trait to generalize the overall equivalence between two subjects. One letter referred to “partisan pottymouths,” but I’ll begin with the other, touting a local forum to defend the Trump administration.

Being a head of state is the only relevant shared trait between Mr. Trump and his peers. Where is the factual evidence to back the writer’s assertion that “President Trump’s style of leadership is a refreshing, hopeful change” to balance against Trump’s vast and growing record of dishonesty and incompetence?

It would be refreshing to have a logical, more respectful political debate. However, asserting that investigations “will prove fruitless” demands factual evidence. Trump’s innumerable outright lies and near-daily incidents of gross incompetence cannot be blamed on

“ruthless media” or “(un)supportive Congress.”

Essentially, Mr. Trump doesn’t possess the ethical and professional standing to be rationally defended against his competitors.

The same could be said of the pottymouths. Even a cursory comparison of Mr. Scaramucci’s and Ms. Gillibrand’s comments demonstrates that one was far more vulgar than the other. Scaramucci — ironically, Trump’s Communications Director — was fired for cause by Gen. Kelly, not the journalist whom he called.

How can we equate defending comically buffoonish political leaders to resolving spousal disputes? Spouses usually have equal standing — they have many shared traits. Trump and Scaramucci may share titles, but otherwise they utterly lack the behavioral and competency skills of their peers.

Lawmakers seek clarity on city IT plan County, city lawmakers question if promised savings will materialize

By Elizabeth Izzo REPORTER

PLATTSBURGH | A plan for county takeover of the city of Plattsburgh’s information technology (IT) services has not yet been finalized.

That’s what Clinton County IT Director Barbara Foster told legislators last week.

Creating a plan to take over the city’s IT services could be as far as two years out, she said.

But per a resolution passed by the Plattsburgh Common Council on July 27, the city’s IT Department will be abolished effective Dec. 31, leaving a gap that may need to be filled with costly contract services, according to Councilwoman Becky Kasper (Ward 5).

“That doesn’t mean there’s no merit to the idea,” Foster told The Sun. “But the time frame would not be feasible.”

Foster said she met with Read twice, but only discussed sharing services as part of the county-led initiative.

County takeover of the city’s IT services is not part of the current shared services plan, which was submitted to the Clinton County Board of Legislators on Aug. 1 for review.

“A two to three year process would be likely for our IT proposal,” said Councilman Dale Dowdle (Ward 3). “When one considers cyber security and the recent targeting of counties nationwide, this should be a huge concern.”

MAYOR CONFIDENT

The city’s IT Department was one of four departments eliminated last month in an ongoing effort to cut expenses and save taxpayers from a potential 21-25 percent tax increase.

Read estimated the city spent $700,000 in combined IT expenses in 2017. Through shared services with the county, Read hopes to shave that down to $200,000, a 30 percent reduction.

Read said he is confident that the county and the city will hash out a deal.

“Well, the Earth was created in seven days,” Read told The Sun. “I think the city and the county will be able to come up with a plan.”

Read has said that he was waiting for council approval of the IT Department abolishment before moving forward full-force with negotiations.

The move was part of an effort to dramatically cut expenditures to right the city’s sinking fiscal ship.

“We’re exploring various ideas,” Read told The Sun. “We’re also looking at organizing internally in other ways.”

According to Kasper, councilors prior to voting expressed concern on July 27 over a lack of concrete details on the service-sharing plan.

“We asked for a plan on how IT would be covered as of Jan. 1, but none was given then or since,” she said.

Councilors Joshua Kretser (Ward 6), Dale Dowdle (Ward 3) and Kasper voted to keep the IT Department after a motion to table the discussion was defeated.

Councilors Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1), Michael Kelly (Ward 2) and Peter Ensel (Ward 4) voted to abolish the department — with Read casting the deciding vote.

Kretser did not respond to a request for comment before this edition went to print on Tuesday afternoon.

COUNTY UNCLEAR ON PLAN

Foster told legislators that she is “assuming” the city will be reimbursing the county IT department for additional service and labor costs needed to serve the city.

“I could not possibly take over the city without another 1-2 staff,” she said.

Clinton County Legislator Chris Rosenquest (Area 9) said that reimbursement would likely need to be part of the final deal.

“We’re not saddling the citizens of Saranac with the services of another municipality,” he said.

“I don’t think there’s another option for the city of Plattsburgh at this point than to move ahead with something, whether it’s this (shared services plan with the county) or contract services.”

But according to Kasper, contract services could carry significant costs for the city:

Ensel said that the only thing to do is have faith in the mayor and trust what he says.

“The mayor did make an off hand suggestion that we could authorize contracted services to fill the gap,” she said.

“Since IT skills are a valuable commodity on the marketplace, we would be looking at a minimum of $150 per hour of contracted work.”

“The only thing I can say is that I hope it’s not going to take two years for that plan to come into place,” he said.

“This is something that the mayor has negotiated. He’s been the sole negotiator with the county. It’s ultimately up to him.

None of the council was involved in those negotiations.”

“The city just needs to reduce staffing in their IT Department and keep rolling,” said Legislator Simon Conroy (Area 4). “It seems like there’s not going to be much of a savings to them.”

As someone who worked in the IT industry for over 40 years, Kelly is confident that a downsizing of IT staff will ultimately work out for the city.

Read said that despite abolishing the department, the city plans to retain some IT staff.

“A few short years ago, one person ran IT for the entire city. Then Mayor (James) Calnon increased that number to four. Can we go back to what we had a few short years ago? Sure we can,” he said. “Look, it all comes down to what the city can afford.”

Ultimately, the county is still open for negotiation, according to Foster.

“I don’t want this to appear that we’re closing the door on this,” she said. “We’re always available to assist any municipality.”

“Unless the mayor has some divine powers I am unaware of, he cannot force the county to provide us with IT services,” said Kasper. “No matter how long it took for the creation of the earth, which, biblically speaking, was six days, not seven.”

‘COMPLICATED’ ISSUE

Kelly said that he was not surprised the county was unaware of the details of Read’s plans.

A series of public hearings at City Hall dealing with changes in the city charter were expected to be held on Thursday, after this edition went to print.

“Mayor Read worked closely with (County Administrator) Michael Zurlo to come up with a shared services plan,” he said. “It is not surprising to me that not everyone in county government knows the details, or in city government for that matter.

“The ink isn’t dry on the county’s shared services plan.

We all need to work together going forward to consolidate.”

Armstrong noted that the IT Department is fairly new, and it was reasonable for the city to take a look at how they could provide those services in a different way.

“IT was established a very short time ago, so in the light of our dire financial straits, it is reasonable to reconsider how services can be delivered,” Armstrong said. “Personnel issues are complicated, and their management is the mayor’s domain, according to the charter.

“After years without a sustainable plan for financing city operations, we need to allow Mayor Read to lead and administrate as he was elected to do.”

“The additional costs to the county would be derived from the city,” Dowdle told The Sun. “Therefore creating wonder as to the actual savings. Although not opposed to the concept of these proposals, I hope to learn the of savings.”

Kasper pondered additional issues:

“I know there are people who are very excited to have our budget slashed so radically, but I think we are cutting our nose off to spite our face,” she said. “Not only will we end up paying more to have basic IT services, we will have no way to guarantee that the city is protected from the insidious malware that has become so prevalent, or the essential maintenance of software and hardware that is fundamental to all city services.

“This was one of four decisions made that night that was made in haste, without sound evidence or planning, and the taxpayers will end up footing a big bill because of it.”

People do not acquire wealth by wasting money nor ignoring a valuable asset. The SUN readers transcend all social, economic and financial categories.

A free newspaper full of well-crafted articles, opinions, local events, school sports, money saving fliers and timely advertisements is a respected service everyone appreciates. Evidenced by the declining circulation of paid newspapers, what they don't appreciate is rising subscription costs for a smaller, inferior product than they have subscribed to in the past.

Times are changing, but habits change slowly.

Print newspapers are still the most effective method for disseminating local community news,

and information of all types. A true newspaper delivered at no charge to 98.9% of the homes is a great value to the entire community. It is also a sign of a vibrant local economy and strong entrepeneurial vision of the publishing company.

Adirondack Pride Parade gets council delay LGBTQ celebration would cost $1,200 in overtime, says councilman

By Elizabeth Izzo REPORTER

PLATTSBURGH | The Plattsburgh Common Council last week delayed approval for the Adirondack Pride Parade for the third time.

The Adirondack North Country Gender Alliance (ANCGA) submitted a request last month to close Margaret, Broad and Rugar streets for two and a half hours to accommodate the LGBTQ parade and festival.

But closing those streets on Sept. 30 would cost the city $1,200 in overtime for the Plattsburgh City Police Department, Councilman Peter Ensel (Ward 4) said.

“I’m wondering if you may be able to utilize just the sidewalks,” he said.

The ANCGA’s request came before the council on July 27 — the same day that four city departments were abolished.

“The issue we had last year was people not walking on the sidewalks, and for those who were physically challenged, they found the sidewalks hard to navigate,” said Organizer Kelly Metzgar, on July 27. “And I think we brought a lot of business into the city last year.

“If we can make this bigger and better, I think we can bring more revenue into the city.”

The parade route would take participants

from Trinity Park in downtown Plattsburgh up to the SUNY Plattsburgh campus, then back to Trinity Park.

On Aug. 10, Jean Welch — who helps organize the annual Treadle to Technology Quilt Show — expressed concerns that the road closures may effect her event.

“Because we have so many people who don’t live in this area coming in, I’m concerned that there will be confusion for those trying to get to the Plattsburgh State Field House.”

Councilwoman Becky Kasper (Ward 5) asked if volunteers driving vans could shuttle marchers back to Trinity Park, cutting the cost of police overtime.

Councilman Dale Dowdle (Ward 3) proposed that marchers simply disperse once reaching SUNY Plattsburgh and make their own way back to Trinity Park, and Councilwoman Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1) asked if SUNY Plattsburgh could contribute to some of the cost of the event by providing police coverage on campus through University Police.

Ultimately, the ANCGA’s request was tabled until Aug. 17 — after this edition went to print.

Battle of Plattsburgh lineup revealed Annual Lake City blowout returns downtown next month

By Elizabeth Izzo REPORTER

PLATTSBURGH | The annual Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration will return to downtown Plattsburgh on Sept. 7-10.

Billed as one of the city’s largest events of the year, the celebration honors a historic American victory over British troops invading the United States from the north during the War of 1812.

Every year the City of Plattsburgh puts on a series of activities to honor the battle — including a parade and fireworks display.

This year’s parade theme is “The Adirondack Coast: Crossroads of Cultural Heritage,” according to a news release. Stan and Chris Ransom will preside over the festivities at 1 p.m. on Sept. 9 as this year’s parade marshals.

Following the parade, all bands featured will gather on the City Hall steps for an encore performance.

As with Mayor’s Cup earlier this year, the Battle of Plattsburgh celebration will include a copious amount of live music, in-

cluding performances by local groups like the Wagar Brothers, Lucid, Ausable Branch and many more.

But make no mistake — history is still the star of the show. On tap this year are at least five memorial ceremonies, four reenactments, two walking tours, one historical play and a number of demonstrations.

A new reenactment, “McGlassin’s Raid,” is set for Saturday, Sept. 9 at 8 p.m. “McGlassin’s Raid” will seek to tell the story of a nighttime raid lead by Captain George McGlassin that routed a British artillery battery.

Also new this year is the Rooster Relay — a 1.2 mile run through downtown Plattsburgh on Sept. 10.

Quiet 3.4 mile round-trip walk near Pharaoh Mountain offers alternative to bustling High Peaks views. The mountainous terrain around the pond gives it a really interesting feel, with stellar vistas to boot.”

By Kim Dedam W RITER

SCHROON LAKE | As the High Peaks grapples with overuse from a sustained influx of visitors, it may behoove adventurers to explore trails off the beaten path.

One popular local hike for fishing with two camping sites near the water traverses Spectacle Pond Trail.

On the western edge of the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness, the trailhead is off Adirondack Road on the eastern forest flanks of Schroon Lake.

The trail travels into the forest area about 1.7 miles to Spectacle Pond, a quiet waterway with a view of Pharaoh Mountain.

Central New York Hiking calls the trail a “wonderful walk in the woods” that ends at scenic pond.

“The well-used trail is easy to follow as the wide trail is an old woods road,” CNY Hiking says. “The trail follows Spectacle Brook for most of the distance, even crossing the brook a few times.”

GETTING THERE

To reach the Spectacle Pond trailhead from Exit 28 on the Adirondack Northway, turn south on State Route 9 toward Schroon.

Continue for 0.6 miles and turn left onto Alder Meadow Road. Turn right onto Adirondack Road and continue 2.75 miles to the trailhead on the left.

Distance round-trip is 3.4 miles, which most hikers can complete in less than 3 hours, the chamber suggests.

Spectacle Pond trail heads due east from Adirondack Road, a paved but narrow road.

For more information about the hike, visit cnyhiking.com or schroonlakeregion.com.

It is flagged with Department of Environmental Conservation trail markers and rises a gentle 295 feet across the 1.7 mile trail.

DEC counts Spectacle Pond among the top brook trout fishing spots in Essex County, though possession and/or use of bait fish is prohibited in the waters.

“Gas, food and other supplies may be found in the nearby communities of Schroon Lake and Ticonderoga. Dining and lodging opportunities can be found in the nearby communities of Hague, Schroon Lake, Pottersville and Ticonderoga,” DEC says.

The Schroon Lake Region Chamber of Commerce says the hike is perfect for an afternoon jaunt.

“A slight climb from the trailhead goes past Beaver Meadow Hill before descending to cross Shanty Brook, a pleasant backcountry stream,” the Schroon Chamber’s hiking guide says.

“From here, another slight climb leads to Spectacle Pond, where the trail continues along the south shore for better

Saranac Laker wins big in lotto John Lewis purchased $5 million winning ticket on lastminute shopping trip

By Kim Dedam W RITER

SARANAC LAKE | He went on a quick errand, grumbling, to find mushrooms at Tops.

John Lewis was making pasta sauce that day in June and had no idea he was about to become a millionaire.

Lewis admits he was in a hurry as he left the home he shares with girlfriend Mary Williams in Saranac Lake.

They had just returned from camping and were making a sauce, a family recipe Lewis said his dad used to make.

It typically simmers for two days.

“I asked her if we had mushrooms, and she said yes, but they weren’t there,” Lewis shrugged.

He said he really didn’t want an added errand that morning, but he quickly ran to Tops Market on Church St., and picked up the item. He has just enough time to chop and add fresh mushrooms to the sauce before heading off to work.

“The express lane was closed,” John said of the trip to Tops.

And that fortuitous closure pushed him to a center aisle where, as you leave, there is a scratch-off lottery ticket kiosk.

On a whim he bought a $10 Set for Life and left to chop mushrooms.

With just a few minutes to spare before

heading to work on June 27, he scratched the ticket.

He saw the gold coin and a winning amount of $5,000,000.

“I just kept staring at it,” Lewis said. “It wasn’t real.”

Lewis said he came to his senses and called Mary, who asked if he was kidding.

And then he called his mom, Pat Lewis, also of Saranac Lake, who loves scratch tickets.

“She said I’ll pray for you,” Lewis grinned.

Asked what prayer she said, Pat Lewis laughed, “Oh, just — I hope you’re reading it right.”

And he was. Lewis went to have a local store check the ticket. The cashier screamed and jumped up and down: it was verified, a genuine winner.

The $5,000,000 Set for Life ticket nets Lewis an annual cash payment of $172,068 per year for the rest of his life.

Standing between the potato chips and cans of nuts at Tops on Tuesday, Lewis, 56, accepted a very big payout from New York Lottery’s Yolanda Vega.

“I’m Yollllannnda Vega,” the state’s Lottery star trilled over aisles stacked with groceries, gathering a small crowd.

Vega asked Lewis what he has in mind to do with his winnings.

“I want to help out my mother,” the Saranac Laker said.

“And we’re looking for property. We just purchased our season’s passes at Whiteface (Mountain Ski Resort). And we might get a truck.”

Lewis said he did call his employer at Lake Placid Pub & Brewery that very morning and told them good news and bad and left

Wee Ca____:re_~:tJ_·,/ __ ~;_

the position as bartender.

The couple might travel to some warm island for a while, he said.

But Lewis doesn’t think winning the lottery will really change their lives too much.

“I think it’s going to help us,” he said of plans to help a family member with medical bills.

“We’re very low-keyed.”

Lewis returned to Saranac Lake eight years ago to be with family here. He spent some part of his childhood nearby as his dad was in the U.S. Air Force and stationed for a time at the Plattsburgh Air Base.

Calling for another round of applause for Lewis, Vega thanked Tops for their hospitality.

Lewis said he is indeed “Set for Life.”

The winner got to keep the giant, oversized check and headed out to go do everyday Adirondack things.

New York Lottery contributed $3,042,945 in Lottery Aid to Education to school districts in Essex County in 2016-17, according to a news release provided at the winning presentation.

“The New York Lottery continues to be North America’s largest and most profitable Lottery, contributing $3.27 billion in fiscal year 2016-17 to help support education in New York State,” the release said.

The contribution is about 14 percent of the total state education aid to schools.

Set for Life lottery winner John Lewis scratched off a $5 million winner in June.

Lewis on Tuesday accepted the proceeds with annual payments of $172,068 alongside his girlfriend Mary Williams, left; his mom Pat Lewis; and Yolanda Vega, spokeswoman and lottery number selector extraordinaire for the New York State Lottery.

» Farmacy

Initiative

www.suncommunitynews.com

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

Continued from pg.1

The majority of responses, Christianson said, looked for a food market or grocery store.

Keeseville lost its Tops Market years ago and then a Mac’s Market operated in that building for about four years before closing in 2013.

Through AdkAction, Christianson began to match the growing farm supply to the demand.

Christianson recognized the bounty coming from nearby producers, including Fledging Crow, Mace Chasm Farm, North Country Creamery, Mossbrook Roots Flower Farm, Goff Flowers and the new bakery in town, Fresh & Fancy: All are within about five miles of downtown Keeseville.

“The idea was to establish a hyper-local marketplace,” she said, “ and to help solidify resources in this community.”

AdkAction launched the Farmacy initiative with an AdirondackGifts fundraising campaign and raised $4,000 in donations.

Bolstered by research and financial support, AdkAction approached Keeseville Pharmacy owner Dan Bosley to see if there was any plan to repurpose the Radio Shack section of the downtown retail space.

The location is right on the main thoroughfare downtown.

Bosley welcomed the idea from the start.

“Dan was so enthusiastic,” Christianson said, “he even offered to staff the space.”

Cooperative use of space played a vital role, Christianson said, in launching the venture.

“That is really why this is all possible. It is the right place at the right time in the right community.”

The Farmacy at Keeseville Pharmacy is preparing to open this month.

New refrigerators, coolers and freezer units are on site, a new floor is in, creating a small seating area near a storefront window. The Radio Shack sign was taken down.

Christianson said the plan is to start simple and see where demand grows.

“We hope it could be a model for other communities that have or are having trouble keeping grocery stores.”

Farmacy operations will scale up as needed, she said.

“We will reassess probably a year after opening.”

PineHarbour Assisted L iving

The community survey in Keeseville was fostered by a Local Food, Local Places Grant through Adirondack North Country Association and with support from Adirondack Architectural Heritage.

In larger context, Farmacy is part of a region-wide effort underway to improve local economies. In time, the Keeseville store could provide a model for other towns without grocery stores.

Farmacy has also requested electronic equipment that would allow payment through Supplemental Nutrition As-

sistance Program and Women Infants and Children, Christianson said, so everyone has ready access to fresh and local farm products.

The fresh market will be open the same hours as Keeseville Pharmacy, from 8:15 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed on weekends.

PICTURED ABOVE: AdkAction.org Executive Director Brittany Christianson helped research, fundraise and organize plans to build the Farmacy, a fresh food market section that will go inside Keeseville Pharmacy.

New area code takes effect this Saturday ALBANY | Starting Aug. 19, North Country residents will need to dial 10 numbers to make a call.

To ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers, the New York Public Service Commission ordered an area code overlay for the area served by 518.

The new 838 area code will be “overlaid,” or superimposed, over the same geographical area as the 518 area code — which covers the eastern upstate portion of New York, serving communities such as Albany, Plattsburgh, Lake Placid and Saratoga.

All calls made within and between area codes 518 and 838 must be placed using the 10-digit telephone number.

If customers forget and dial just seven digits, then the call will not be completed and the customers will hear an announcement instructing them to hang up and redial using the area code.

The overlay does not require customers to change their existing area code or phone number. The price of a call, coverage area, or other rates and services will not change due to the overlay.

You can still dial just three digits to reach 911. If 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711 or 811 are currently available in your community you will still dial these codes with just three digits.

Beginning Sept. 19, new telephone lines or services may be assigned numbers using the new 838 area code.

In addition to changing your dialing procedures, all services — automatic dialing equipment, or other types of equipment that are programmed to dial a seven-digit number — will need to be reprogrammed to use the new dialing procedure.

For more information, call Chazy Westport Communications at 518-846-7111 or 518-962-8211, Westelcom at 518-825-2255 or visit westelcom.com.

Saranac targets aging water infrastructure Town eyes funding for $1.6 million project

By Teah Dowling W RITER

SARANAC | The town is exploring upgrades to its three water districts starting with Standish.

The well-derived water is safe to drink, said Supervisor Nick Carter, but the infrastructure is over 40 years old.

Town officials are in the process of upgrading the Standish Water District first since it only has one well, which is a violation of the Clinton County Health Department, said Carter.

“There’s no back up,” Carter said. “If that well fails, around 50 households will go without water.”

The $1.6 million project consists of adding a second well and putting in a larger water treatment plant to better chlorinate the water supply.

On July 29, local officials celebrated the designation of the Gordie Little Memorial Bridge between the Town of Plattsburgh and Town of Schuyler Falls on Route 22B. The bridge was named for hometown hero Gordie Little, a prolific writer, storyteller, frequent guest on WIRY Radio and program host on Home Town Cable.

Animal advocates speak out on shared services plan Clinton County Shared Services Panel to vote on final plan next month

By Elizabeth Izzo REPORTER

PLATTSBURGH | An hour-long public hearing on the proposed Clinton County shared services plan rendered just one comment on Monday.

Representatives from Elmore SPCA, a Plattsburgh-based animal shelter, appeared at the hearing to share their concerns about proposed plans to consolidate county-wide dog control services under the purview of the Clinton County Sheriff ’s Office.

Elmore SPCA Board of Directors President Laurie Parsons said that while she supports the idea, the panel’s plan was overall unclear when it came to what happens after a uniformed officer responds to a dog control call.

“What happens to the dogs after they’re picked up by the sheriffs?” she asked.

County Administrator Michael Zurlo, who heads the county shared services panel, said that the panel had yet to vote on whether county-wide dog control would be implemented as part of their plan.

“Elmore (SPCA) would be part of that discussion should this be put into effect,” he said.

Elmore SPCA Secretary Carol Solari-Ruscoe said that their board of directors need to be made aware of the county’s plan because it effects the shelter’s budget planning process.

“Fifteen percent of our budget is our

contracts with six municipalities, including the City of Plattsburgh,” she said. “We’re kind of in a bind because we don’t know how things are going to shake out.”

Zurlo said that Elmore SPCA would likely not see much change, financially, if the panel’s plan were put into place.

The shelter’s contracts with each municipality would simply consolidate into one contract with the county, he said.

Towns would then pay the county for their share, and the county would ·- · ·- - - - ··- .1 " - -·pay Elmore.

The Town of Saranac has already secured a $600,000 grant and $200,000 loan through the Office of Rural Development. The town aims to cover the remaining balance through the New York State Community Development Block Grant Program.

The goal is to secure as much funding as possible to keep rates as low as possible for residents, said Carter. The last increase was two years ago when the annual bill went from $275 to $350.

“The last thing we want to do is put more on our taxpayers,” said Carter. “But the chances of getting this funding is looking good.”

This year, $40 million is available statewide, according to the grant office. Towns, cities and villages can apply for up to $600,000 for public infrastructure projects. Joint applicants for water and sewer applicants can request up to $900,000.

The deadline for applications was last month, and grants will be awarded sometime this September.

If Saranac cannot secure funding, Carter said the town will complete the $1.6 million project in phases.

The town has been trying to move forward with this project since 2014 when the Standish Water District failed inspection for not having a back-up well.

Clinton County Health Department Environmental Health & Safety Division Director John Kanoza said the project does not have a firm deadline.

“The water district is too old and we want to see it upgraded, but these things take time,” said Kanoza. “We’re dedicated to help Saranac secure funding and move forward with the project.”

TARGETING AGING INFRASTRUCTURE

Discussions are underway amongst town officials to replace the aging infrastructure in the Saranac and Redford water districts as well.

The infrastructure dates back to the 1970s.

“Both districts are up to county standards,” Carter said.

“But it’s getting to the point where we need to start discussing replacing the old infrastructure.”

Town officials are in the process of coming up with a timeline and costs for these two projects.

Like Saranac, several other municipalities are working on tackling their aging infrastructure for water and sewer.

The Town of Peru is in the process of replacing an exposed sewer pipe and increasing the capacity level at an existing lift station, a $4 million project.

The Village of Dannemora is reaching the end of its 10-year plan to replace water mains on several village streets, which are about 80 years old.

The Village of Rouses Point is working to replace all the interior piping, pumps and fi lters in the water treatment plant — a $340,000 project that’s expected to be completed

by December 2018.

The village and town of Champlain recently completed their $13.4 million water infrastructure project designed to provide a reliable and safe water supply to customers.

Ultimately, lawmakers voted seven to three to approve placing a PLA on the airport projects.

Legislators Conroy, Harry McManus (Area 1), Sam Dyer (Area 3), Pete Keenan (Area 5), Patty Waldron (Area 6), Chris Rosenquest (Area 9) and Robert Hall (Area 10) voted to approve the plan, while Legislators Robert Timmons (Area 7) and Mark Dame (Area 8) voted to decline a PLA requirement.

After initially passing his vote to see how other lawmakers decided, Legislator Jonathan Beach (Area 2) also voted against a PLA. UNION SUPPORT

Over 100 union members packed the legislative chambers to voice support for the agreement.

Jeff Schiff, a Saranac resident and member of the UA Local 773, said that local tradesmen like himself would benefit from a PLA.

Because many projects in Clinton County don’t fall under a PLA, he said, contractors often hire out-of-state workers.

“We need this,” he said. “Clinton County needs this. These guys want to stay home. I hope you vote yes.”

Ausable resident Megan O’Brien, who described herself as a union member and educator in Clinton County, said that a PLA would provide union-trained apprentices a chance to work and gain vital skills.

concerns

www.suncommunitynews.com

Continued from pg.1

But not every councilor agrees with this new deadline.

“I hope to be fully informed of all proposals to make the best decisions, not just to hit a target,” Councilman Dale Dowdle (Ward 3) told The Sun.

For the council to adopt a budget plan by Oct. 1 would be departure from previous years, where lawmakers would debate well into the holiday season about the next year’s fiscal plan.

“There are still unknowns in October and November,” said Councilwoman Becky Kasper (Ward 5), at a public meeting. “Having a vote when we’re not sure of all those variables makes me nervous.”

“I’ve always found it problematic that we pass a budget for the year in January, leaving our department heads no time to plan for the year’s spending activities,” Kelly said.

“Furthermore, if we can pass an early budget, we send a message to the rating agencies like Moody’s that we are serious about bringing the city’s fiscal house in order. An early budget would be a win for everyone.”

LARGE TAX HIKE ‘UNACCEPTABLE’

Paired with a number of service-sharing proposals and spending reductions, Read’s budget calls for a 2.85 percent tax hike.

“Obviously we were looking at, initially, some increases that were not acceptable,” Councilman Peter Ensel (Ward 4) told The Sun, referencing a potential 21-25 percent tax hike discussed earlier this year.

“I think (the mayor) has done a good job at bringing the budget into a somewhat acceptable level,” he said. “Though there’s certainly some difficult decisions that need to be made.”

Though the mayor’s proposal features a comparativelymild tax hike, both Ensel and Kelly are hoping to get that number down to between 2 and 2.5 percent: “I’d like to see the tax hike be even lower than what the mayor is proposing. If we could get it down to a range of 2.5 percent or less, I would be very happy — as the citizens of the city would be,” Ensel said.

Councilwoman Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1) said that to pare down expenditures, the council needs to eliminate redundancies and search for efficiencies.

“We need a lean capital plan, and in bonding projects, we can only finance what we can afford,” she added.

The council earlier this year slashed expenditures from the 2017 capital plan, eliminating $769,000 from the Plattsburgh City Fire Department’s capital projects, $150,000 from the Department of Public Works, over $51,000 from the Recreation Department and over $190,000 from road resurfacing costs.

“A member of the Citizens’ Financial Advisory Committee recently said that there are no trivial tax cuts — put everything on the table,” said Kelly. “I have made that my battle cry. The closer we can come to a 0 percent tax increase while building our depleted fund balance, the better.”

EXPANDING REVENUE

Councilmen Dowdle and Ensel told The Sun that exploring temporary and ongoing sources of revenue is key to balancing the budget in 2018.

“We’re not going to make it just by cutting. We have to also find some other revenue streams,” Ensel said.

Dowdle agreed.

“I hope to see not only reduced expenditures, but additional sources of revenue, whether one-time or ongoing,” he said.

There are currently a number of proposals being explored by the council — including the possibility of selling cityowned properties in an effort to get run-down and unused land back on the tax roll, an idea floated by both Ensel and Dowdle at prior meetings.

Kasper, who said that she will reserve comment on the mayor’s budget until she had more time to review the proposal, has called for Mayor Read to explore expansion of the city’s marina — which could potentially draw in more revenue.

By Elizabeth Izzo REPORTER

PLATTSBURGH | Author Joseph Bruchac is coming to Plattsburgh on Aug. 22, bringing with him stories from a culture that dates back to the 1600s.

Bruchac will visit the Plattsburgh Public Library on Tuesday to sign copies of his books, sing traditional American Indian

“This is my eighth budget cycle as a city councilor, and this is the first time in my experience that a mayor has presented a balanced budget with an increased fund balance at year end.”

SKEPTICISM LOOMS

Many of Read’s budget cuts — including the abolishment of four city departments and shared assessment services with Clinton County — are dependent upon changes to the city’s charter, negotiations with Clinton County and subject to civil service restrictions, according to Dowdle.

This breeds skepticism as to whether the changes will actually take hold, he said:

“My initial reaction to the overall proposed budget is one of skepticism, since there are budgeting proposals that may not be attainable, at least at the level of savings being presented,” he said.

At a public meeting last week, Kasper said that she intends to examine each line that the mayor has changed or removed.

“It’s our job to make sure it’s a feasible budget,” she said.

Councilman Joshua Kretser (Ward 6) did not respond to a request for comment on the mayor’s proposed budget before deadline.

The council’s first public budget session will be held Aug. 17, after this edition went to print. The Plattsburgh Common Council will hold weekly budget meetings after their regular session until a budget is adopted, Kelly said. Council meetings are held every Thursday at 5 p.m. at Plattsburgh City Hall.

But Kelly said that the mayor’s current revenue projections — $44 million, up from $43.8 million this year — are realistic.

“Assumptions about revenues are realistic, which makes for less likelihood of unpleasant surprises at the end of 2018,” he said.

Abenaki expert to make Plattsburgh stop Adirondack author will host storytelling session at Plattsburgh Public Library

songs and tell stories from Abenaki culture.

For the Abenaki, storytelling is indispensable.

More than entertainment, stories are used as a prominent teaching method for young children.

“My favorite story to tell changes from one audience to the next,” Bruchac told The Sun. “I choose what to tell according to the feel of the audience. And when I am in the midst of telling any story, that story is my favorite.”

A Greenfield Center native, Bruchac is a prolific writer — publishing more than 120 books and writing stories, poems and articles for over 500 publications.

“Talking Leaves” follows the story of a young Cherokee boy, whose father, Sequoya, invented a writing system for the Cherokee language in the early 19th century, he said.

Bruchac has been to Plattsburgh before — performing in schools around the area and, on his off-time, snowshoeing on Lake Champlain.

According to Bruchac, there is a lot modern residents can learn about the area from the Abenaki people:

“We could learn much about wise use of the land and its resources from our Abenaki patterns of interacting with the Adirondack ecosystem in ways which never took too much and always attempted to maintain a balance,” he said.

Bruchac will appear at the Plattsburgh Public Library on Aug. 22 at 6 p.m. Tickets are free. For more information, visit plattsburghlib.org or call 563-0921.
