PLATTSBURGH | The Plattsburgh International Airport this week was awarded a $898,329 federal grant for building renovations. The nearly $900,000 in funding, announced Monday by U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, comes through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)’s Airport Improvement Program. This most recent award will go toward renovation of a 12,600 square-foot firehouse on the airport campus as part of a larger five year capital plan. “It’s important for us to have a fire station because they provide a valuable service from a safety standpoint,” said Airport Manager Christopher Kreig. The grant will require a 5 percent match from both the state and Clinton County. » Airport Cont. on pg. 12

City sets 4.35 percent tax increase Common Council adopts 2018 fiscal plan By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | After months of budget sessions and back-and-forth finagling, the Plattsburgh Common Council last week adopted a budget for 2018 bolstered by a 4.35 percent tax levy increase.

The increase, which will set the city tax rate at $11.98 per $1,000 of assessed value, was whittled down in the last few months through significant department cuts and spending reductions from an anticipated double-digit tax increase. “We’re proposing a tax increase a little over the state tax cap,” Read said, noting the budget’s 2.7 percent mill rate increase. Approval of the council budget — a revised version of the mayor’s proposed budget, released in August — comes over three months ahead of schedule. The expedited approval was, in part, an effort to give Read a positive financial outlook to present to the city’s bond agency later this year, according to Councilor Michael Kelly (Ward 2). “This may be the earliest budget the city council has ever passed,” Kelly said at a public meeting last week. Budget revisions adopted by the council over the past few weeks spanned a number of departments. Among the laundry list: The Plattsburgh City Police Department will purchase one less cruiser next year, resulting in a $43,113 savings. The Fire Department will see

the reduction of a clerical position to part-time, netting a $42,458 savings. Through shared services with the county, a $170,650 reduction in funding for materials and services was approved. Last Friday, Read also opted into the Clinton County Shared Services plan, which included a proposal to shift the city’s assessment services under control of the county’s Real Property Office at an anticipated savings of $66,654 in 2018. Combined with cuts made earlier in the year, the alterations are expected to translate to an over $400,000 general fund surplus next year, according to Read. The atmosphere at City Hall last week was mostly celebratory. Praising City Chamberlain Richard Marks and the gathered department heads for their tireless work, Kelly asked them all to stand — the sheepish group receiving a smattering of applause. “The council owes you a debt of gratitude for your help,” Kelly said, to Marks. “We are so grateful to you.” Councilor Joshua Kretser (Ward 6) was not in attendance at the Sept. 14 meeting and did not vote on adopting next year’s budget.

County transit plan remains controversial Ahead of final vote, public hearings show residents still concerned over route changes By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Though the plan is expected to go to a final vote on Sept. 27, residents remain concerned about the effect a route deviation service may have on Clinton County Public Transit (CCPT). A pair of public hearings were held last week on the proposed transit plan, which instead of curb-to-curb paratransit service will serve riders by picking them up at a point within three quarters of a mile and transporting them to the next route stop, potentially necessitating a bus transfer. The hearings generated a series of comments from concerned residents, including members of the North Country Center for Independence (NCCI), a disability advocacy group that remains opposed to the plan. At the first hearing, NCCI Director Robert Poulin told county officials — including CCPT Planning Technician James Bosley, Planning Department Director Rodney Brown and Legislature Chair Harry McManus (Area 1) — that although the county has alleviated some of his organization’s concerns

We have joined The Sun.

by folding some of their ideas into the plan, they object to the plan overall. This objection, he says, stems from the fact that Clinton County had a deviation service years ago. “We had a deviation service years ago,” Poulin said. “Deviation was eliminated because the buses couldn’t run on time.” He also objected to the plan’s language. The language points to paratransit as the problem, when the county’s transit issues stem from poor management, he said. “The system has not been run adequately,” said Poulin. “Paratransit bailed out the bus system, now it’s being blamed for its shortcomings.” Rodney Brown, head of the county Planning Department, said that this new plan has been built to allow the bus schedule to run more efficiently. “We are trying to design these lines to accommodate these deviations,” Brown said. “We don’t want these routes to be unreliable. “People need to rely on this service.”

‘BACKWARD STEP’

In the past, Bosley has said that one of the reasons that the county is looking at deviation service is because the current paratransit system is costly. Poulin said that NCCI was aware that the paratransit system is expensive to run. “We have no illusions about that.” But the deviation service could be more costly, he said. “Deviation is open to everyone,” said Poulin, at the second public hearing. Meanwhile, the capacity of the current

paratransit system can be limited by tightening eligibility standards. “To lose paratransit is a blow and a huge backward step,” he said.

REAL EFFECTS

Thomas Maglienti, a Morrisonville resident, appeared at the second public hearing on behalf of his daughter, who has a disability. Under the new plan, his daughter will now need to transfer buses and won’t be able to get to work on time, he said. With her working an early-morning minimum wage job, she’ll need to transition to using taxi cabs. That cab trip will cost her $11: an hour of pay for her, he said. He and his wife will try to drive her to work whenever they can. “But we’re both 70 years old,” he said, motioning toward his wife. “We’re not going to be here forever.” If the route deviation service is approved the county will first move forward with a trial period to gauge whether the system is working as expected, according to Brown. Maglienti requested that following the trial period, before the county decides on whether to make deviation permanent, another public meeting be held to garner feedback from residents. Brown quickly agreed. “That is a very reasonable request,” he said. “We’ll make sure we fulfill that.” Last week’s public hearings were held ahead of a final vote on the plan, which is expected to land on the docket at the Clinton County Board of Legislators’ regular session later this month. ■

» Martz Cont. from pg. 1

FOR CONGRESS she knew voted differently: Should she engage them in discussion? “Clearly you voted differently. Would you be willing to have a conversation with me?” Martz asked. The man said no. But as winter turned into spring, she did it again — and again and again — and efforts at dialogue eventually blossomed. It’s that listening and sense of open-minded engagement that underpins Martz’s campaign for the Democratic nomination for New York’s 21st Congressional District. Regardless of how they voted, everyone wants the same thing, Martz told prospective voters at a campaign event in Plattsburgh on Sunday: Healthcare, jobs, food on the table and a way forward through higher education. For roughly an hour, Martz engaged in a backand-forth with about a dozen voters at a downtown coffee shop. The biggest issue facing the district is the wealth gap, Martz said. “There are economic and political systems that are set up that so those who already have are able to get more, and it makes it very difficult for the have-nots to get ahead,” she said. “And what its led to is not just economic challenges, but we know it’s also starting to lead to social instability.” Martz, the deputy director of Adirondack North Country Association and a former Paul Smith’s professor, said she has a proven track record of job creation, pointing at renewable energy projects she spearheaded in Malone and Keene. She cited the Institute of Advanced Manufacturing at Clinton Community College as a model that should be emulated to foster workforce development in the region, including vocational training for electricians and plumbers, fields that remain in high demand. Health care for veterans needs also to be bolstered, Martz said, citing a discussion on Sunday with a Navy veteran in Inlet, Hamilton County about what he felt was the most pressing issue in his life.

“He said the broken promise that vets enlisted or drafted and were promised by the government that if they served, they would have benefits,” Martz said. If successful in her bid to defeat Elise Stefanik (RWillsboro), Martz, 45, said she will bring this record of building partnerships to Congress. National Democrats in recent weeks are lining up behind the bill introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that includes a major provision written by Sen. Gillibrand (D-NY) for a Medicare buy-in Martz said she supports the measure and criticized Stefanik for her vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act in May, citing the effectiveness of the law in reducing the number of uninsured people in the district. “We know that the ACA has helped,” Martz said. “We just need to keep asking my opponent, ‘Why do you want to take something away that is providing healthcare of tens of thousands of additional people in your district? Why do you want to take away healthcare from your constituents?’” Martz likened the vote to a betrayal: “It seems like she’s using the position to bolster her own professional career and serve her party’s agenda as opposed to the people she represents,” Martz said. Lenny Alcivar, a Stefanik campaign spokesman, said: “Our district doesn’t need more partisan, political rhetoric. Republicans, Democrats and Independents know that Elise is not only recognized as one of the most bipartisan members of the U.S House of Representatives, she is ranked among the most bipartisan leaders in Washington.” Stefanik wrote the largest fi x to the ACA last Congress: the repeal of the auto-enrollment mandate,

The ’Burgh Sun | September 23, 2017 • 5

which was signed into law by President Obama, Alcivar said. The lawmaker last week, noted the spokesman, introduced bipartisan legislation to protect funding for community health centers in the district. With six challengers vying for the nomination, Martz admitted fundraising remains a challenge — “It’s the financial obligations that come with running. That’s the biggest obstacle we have,” she said — but would continue crisscrossing the district and engaging with voters. Support from young people appears strong, she said, and her campaign has been contacted by high school students asking how they can help. That involvement seems to be increasing, she said. “When we talk about young people and engagement, we need to remember that all generations have been apathetic,” she said. And as the Democratic Party licks its wounds and weighs it future following last year’s election upset that saw the undercard take the White House, Martz said she’ll stay focused on local issues. “I do shy away from that identity thing,” she said, indirectly referring to the criticism that Democrats ignored economic issues last fall, paving the way for Trump’s brand of economic populism. “I stay away from identity politics.” Martz, who spearheaded a coalition of grassroots progressive groups shortly after the election, said she was confident she could engage in measured discussion with voters and local government officials — even rock-ribbed Republicans. “I’m demonstrating my commitment to making this district stronger by sitting with them,” she said. “I believe, and (former House Speaker) Tip O’Neill said it best, all politics is local.” ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Solutions are never easy

I hope we can all agree that the many issues facing our country are not easily solved. By Dan Alexander While many grow • PUBLISHER • fatigued from the constant arguing back and forth, it’s clear that conversational debate far outweighs violence driven by pent-up frustration. We understand that violence is the course of last resort and sadly the cost of settling issues in that manner takes a terrible toll on all involved, even the most innocent. Writing a column each week and touching on subjects we all grapple with is an opportunity to initiate important dialogue. Being a lightning rod for conversation, criticism and praise at the end of each week’s work demonstrates the important role a community newspaper can have in its service to the community. A major part of being a strong community newspaper is to provide a forum for open commentary. One important benefit from the columns are the many exchanges that take place as a result of the topic. What’s most encouraging is when readers engage with letters to the editor, offering their points of view, as well the many back-channel conversations that take place through letters, emails, face to face conversations in parking lots, schools, grocery stores, church or even over a few cold ones. But the truly remarkable conversations take place when readers take up the debate with other readers unbeknownst to anyone associated with the paper. It’s through these conversations that we begin to chip away at the differences that divide us and we begin to understand the issues from a different perspective. Over time, it’s how we arrive at solutions, that today seem inconceivable, but down the road make it hard to understand what all the fuss was about. We know that the fiercest opponents one minute can become the greatest of allies in the next. Many of the major issues we’ve faced, evolved over time and while our conversations are but grains of sand in the hourglass of time, it’s how we go about processing the information and the emotions to arrive at solutions that put us on the road to recovery. Most of us don’t like confrontation but the reality is, more opinions are change as a result of open and honest dialogue. Living in this great land of freedom and respecting our constitutional rights to disagree, the one thing we must always remember is to participate in the process. ■

From the Editorial Board

State legislature should support mausoleum moratorium It’s been 18 months since over a hundred residents packed the Plattsburgh Town Hall expressing shock, astonishment and heartbreak over the situation at the Whispering Maples Memorial Gardens. The exact sequence of events leading to the abandonment of a pair of mausoleums remains unclear, including a suspicious fire that destroyed years of records years ago. But the end result is a pair of burial grounds whose deterioration has been heartbreaking. Designed and branded as luxurious resting places, the facilities in Plattsburgh and Ellenburg were instead built using cheap materials and left to moulder since their construction in the 1980s. The roof at the Ellenburg facility has disintegrated to the extent that snowfall has dusted internal crypts. In Plattsburgh, the back of the concrete structure has never been completed, leaving warped and weather-scarred plywood to be exposed to the elements. Windows adorning the columbarium are cracked, outdoor plots have been ignored and light bulbs have burned out, among other cosmetic issues — including unpleasant odors that have left survivors aghast. Interment at the facilities was not cheap, costing thousands of dollars. Like with traditional cemeteries, the proceeds of the crypt sales were supposed to be put in a perpet-

ual care fund designed to allow for eternal upkeep of the properties. But not only have those funds disappeared, a state report determined the nonprofit which owned the facilities failed to repay loans they were permitted to withdraw from the fund. The outstanding balance for the permanent maintenance fund was $212,399 as of 2015. What happened? No one is talking, including the former owners, who local officials have said are being probed by the state attorney general’s office for their possible role in this disastrous series of events. The state has committed $2 million for repairs slated to begin this fall, and the facilities will be handed over to the respective towns once completed next year. State officials have said the situation has presented a peculiar case with few precedents. What a final indignity to the hundreds of decreased and their survivors. Our heart breaks for them. This isn’t supposed to happen in the United States — not in Plattsburgh, not in Ellenburg, not anywhere. That’s why we support the legislation proposed by our state representatives designed to prevent something like this from ever happening again in New York. State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury)

Letters

has introduced a bill that would ban freestanding mausoleums as the only form of internment at burial grounds. Mausoleums like those in Plattsburgh and Ellenburg have proven to be successful for many cemeteries when they are part of a larger financial plan and presented as an additional option for cemeteries, according to the bill language. But when a cemetery is created solely for the purpose of hosting a standalone mausoleum, local governments and other entities are exposed to financial hardship if a facility is subsequently abandoned. The legislation remains in committee, and is accompanied by companion legislation sponsored by state Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay). While the construction of freestanding mausoleums may no longer be the lucrative industry it was once, trends in the funeral industry are always shifting. As the earliest Baby Boomers begin to shuﬄe off this mortal coil, we’ve already seen shifts in burial rituals and traditions. The industry needs tighter regulation, and we strongly encourage lawmakers across the state to support this legislation. Doing so is not just a way to shield localities from financial hardship, but is also a moral imperative. ■ — Sun Community News Editorial Board

Time to reinvent government

.~~

You’ve been following the difficult budget process for the City of Plattsburgh this year. It hasn’t been easy on anybody. The city was saddled with large costs that we knew were coming for years, By Colin Read but for which it didn’t • COLUMNIST • budget. The result must be a painful forced reduction in spending, a huge property tax increase, or some combination of the two. I won’t tolerate cable fees that rise every year unless they provide me with greater speed and better service. My cellphone company better be equally innovative, and, even so, I’ll reevaluate my service whenever they try to jack up my fees. You scrutinize your choices every time costs rise without a commensurate increase in services. Cities are no different. Residents aren’t a captive market who’ll tolerate consistent property tax increases that exceed the cost of living. It’s difficult for some to accept the premise that a city’s residents are its customers. Municipalities ought not be in the business of perpetuating itself and its jobs. More and more, it must do precisely what businesses must. It should generate good and even increasing value, at an always affordable price. Just as you will reconsider your cellphone carrier or your next model of car, there’s been no time in history that people have been more willing to reconsider where they live. Retirees are footloose, and so are corporations and their employees. We are in the era of corporate and citizen mobility, and that trend will only accelerate. Corporations know that, and will have cities and states bid against each other for their business. It’s time municipalities acknowledge the competitive environment within which we live. Some cities know this, and view themselves as creating great value for their citizens by offering either amazing quality of life and services at an affordable price, or by offering a very low price. This “price” is the level of taxes it charges. For residents who are increasingly mobile, that’s the price which causes them to choose to live in one municipality or another. Plattsburgh must demonstrate it can operate more efficiently and less expensively, as measured by the property tax per thousand dollars of property value, or the “mill rate.” This price per unit of property value is half of the value equation. The other half is the quality of services we provide for that price. Cities must innovate and get right both sides of the equation. ■

KATIE WILSON

FOR THE NORTH COUNTRY the rounds and meeting with voters. Wilson, 33, sketched out the early outlines of her campaign platform last week to Adirondack Indivisible, the local chapter of the nationwide progressive activist group that mobilized last winter to resist Republican policies following President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Numerous grassroots groups have sprouted since Trump’s come-from-behind victory, and Wilson has been active in many of them — including traveling to North Dakota to participate in the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. “I have a renewed faith of participation in government, and I think my candidacy is a product of that,” Wilson said. Since declaring her campaign to unseat Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) in June, Wilson has staked her candidacy on her ability to empathize with working class voters in the rural, remote district. After all, she’s cut from the same cloth. A Keene native, Wilson traced her roots back to the 1930s when her grandparents cashed in a coin collection to purchase a farm on what was known as “The Mountain Road.” Everyone thought they were crazy. But the family persevered. “We were land rich but cash poor,” Wilson said. Wilson’s parents divorced when she was young, and she moved to Elizabethtown with her mother. After graduating from the National Sports Academy in Lake Placid, Wilson attended the University of Vermont and Sierra Nevada College on Lake Tahoe. She moved back to Keene in 2009, where she is raising her two children, ages 9 and 8. Wilson currently owns and operates the Adirondack Attic, a consignment shop. Business can be tough, she said, and she knows what it’s like to live from paycheck to paycheck. Congress contains just one member who is a single mother, Wilson said. But, she said, “I’m not here to talk about glass ceilings — I’m here to talk about sturdy floors.” The first-time candidate sketched out an early campaign platform to the crowd of about two dozen attendees, mostly retirees, including better health care for veterans, more local control for schools, additional resources to combat the opiate epidemic, tax relief for small businesses and a Medicare buy-in option on the Affordable Care Act exchange, an option Wilson says will serve as a bridge to universal healthcare. As Democrats at the national level are torn between how to rebuild and rebrand their party, Wilson said she is not interested in revisiting the reasons that ultimately saw Trump defeat Hillary Clinton, but would rather speak to the real issues on the ground. The candidate was unsparing in her criticism of Stefanik, who voted in favor of repealing President Barack Obama’s signature health care law in May. The replacement bill would have jeopardized Medicaid funding for nursing homes, a measure that would have left “thousands of seniors” homeless, Wilson said — including people like her father, Olympic biathlete Joe Pete Wilson, who resides in a local nursing facility. “These are real lives on the line,” she said. Stefanik “doesn’t care about the North Country the way you and I do,” Wilson said. The candidate also criticized Stefanik’s environmental record, including the lawmaker’s 2015 vote to reject Environmental Protection Agency limits for coal-fired power plants. “She voted for acid rain,” Wilson said. “You don’t come back from that.” Stefanik bucked her party in July and was one of only two New York GOP lawmakers to vote against the Ozone Standards Implementation Act of 2017, which would have

“With so many candidates in the field, delayed implementation in further reducit’s been really hard, and we’ve had to tweak tions for smog-causing power plants. She is a member of the bipartisan Climate our approach a bit,” Wilson said. The candidate already appears to have Solutions Caucus and the co-chair of the a sleek campaign operation replete with a House Invasive Species Caucus. Stefanik also received the “Supporter of finance director and public relations team, Nature” Award from the Nature Conser- which has been issuing press releases, as well vancy, and just last week, crossed party lines as a glossy online campaign video last week. to vote against an amendment that would As the field continues to shape up, Wilson block the EPA’s methane rule. wants to avoid getting stuck in “ideological Wilson doesn’t think the pivot to a more litmus test type” conversations that might moderate stance on green issues is sincere: make good soundbites to appeal to the left “It’s her just trying to keep her seat,” but would alienate more conservative voters in next fall’s general election. Wilson said. For now, the candidate will continue travWilson also criticized Stefanik for her eling the district in an attempt to connect support of the 2018 House appropriations with voters and understand their concerns, bill, which would reduce funding for family as well as draw broad contrasts between her planning and reproductive health services, and Stefanik. and accused the lawmaker of capitulating “If I can understand their needs better to corporate donors — including the insurthan any other candidate, that’s just as good ance and healthcare industries. Lenny Alcivar, a Stefanik campaign spokes- as having more money than any other candiman, said: “Our district doesn’t need more date,” Wilson said. “My dedication is simply to partisan, political rhetoric.

Adirondack Pride parade returns Sept. 30

Annual LGBTQ celebration to promote acceptance, diversity By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Rainbow flags will fly in downtown Plattsburgh next weekend. The Adirondack Pride Parade is slated to return to the Lake City on Sept. 30. “With our rally and march we want to say loudly and proudly that no matter who you are, we want you to be able to feel proud and be confident to be yourself,” said the Adirondack North Country Gender Alliance (ANCGA) in a statement. “We want you to feel loved, respected, understood and appreciated within our community.”

CHANGES

The Sun spoke with Metzgar one year ago about the first Plattsburgh pride parade. Since then, much has changed: Last month, President Donald Trump instructed the U.S. Defense Department to stop recruiting transgender people for the military. Two lawsuits were filed by humanitarian and LGBT organizations to prevent the ban from being enforced. Last week, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) introduced an amendment to protect transgender service members from Trump’s plan. Somewhere between 1,320 and 6,630 transgender service members are in active duty military, according to a 2016 report by the RAND Corporation. Between 830 and

An Original

4,160 members are in the reserves. “They serve with dignity, honor and distinction. They serve because they want to protect this country and what we are supposed to stand for as a nation,” said Metzgar. “The fact they are being targeted by the current administration shows the level of homophobia and transphobia that exists at the highest levels of our government. “This is discrimination against a group of people who were born with a medical condition they had no choice in accepting any more than someone who is born with blond hair, red hair, blue, brown, hazel, green eyes, dark skin, light skin or predominately left handed.” Trump in July cited medical costs incurred from transgender people serving in the military as the primary driver of the ban, according to the Washington Post. “Estimates for this approach $8 million per year. Yet there is no mention of the estimated $81 million per year spent on erectile dysfunction medication with an estimated $47 million per year spent on Viagra alone,” Metzgar said. Metzgar cited the “enormous cost” of health care for women, in part due to pregnancy and child birth: “Are we to also now outlaw women serving in the military or not allow the wives of male service people to have children?” Not all transgender people serving in the military will seek a medical or surgical transition, Metzgar said, and those who seek hormone replacement therapy are no different than others seeking medical treatment. “For some, just living in their gender identity is enough.”

THE ROAD BEHIND

The Plattsburgh parade was approved after a month-long delay, where the ANCGA’s

Musical

request was repeatedly tabled by the Plattsburgh Common Council as organizers hashed out a compromise over road closures. Organizers originally requested the closure of Margaret, Broad and Rugar streets for two and a half hours to accommodate the parade and physically-challenged marchers who last year found the city sidewalks hard to navigate, according to Metzgar. Councilman Peter Ensel (Ward 4) said that he was told by the Plattsburgh City Police chief that closing those roads would cost over $1,000 in overtime. Organizers compromised by changing the route to run down Court Street, on the sidewalks. “That was the only way we could get this event approved,” she said. “We’re thankful to at least have the opportunity to have the march, have the rally.”

The ANCGA’s request was submitted for consideration on July 27 and was ultimately approved on Aug. 24. “We are resolved to have events like this for members of the LGBTQ community, allies, family members and the community in general,” Metzgar said. “This is a way to celebrate diversity in all forms in the North Country.” Those interested are encouraged to join the festivities at Trinity Park at noon, where there will be a variety of guest speakers and live entertainment before the march sets off toward SUNY Plattsburgh. ■

TEDRA . FOR

COBB

CONGRESS

Cashmere coats, diamond rings Don’t mean a thing All I care about is love Foreign students enunciating lines from the hit musical “Chicago” probably isn’t unheard of at English as a second language classrooms across the country. But most teachers probably are not running for Congress. Meet Tedra Cobb, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for New York’s 21st Congressional District. Since 2003, Cobb has worked as a strategic planning and organizational consultant. Cobb served on the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators from 2002-2010, representing Canton, Potsdam and Madrid, making her the only candidate in the growing primary field to have held elected office as a legislator. (A primary opponent, Ronald Kim, served as Saratoga’s public safety commissioner from 2006-09.) “I’m running first and foremost because I believe that government should be working for the people,” Cobb said. “And if it’s not, then get out of the way.” Cobb cited “affordable and portable” healthcare as one of her chief concerns, and the catalyst for her to announce her candidacy in July. “That was the first domino,” she said. But healthcare has always been a focus. Cobb, 49, served as the executive director of the St. Lawrence County Health Initiative, an agency designed to link un- and underinsured residents to health insurance plans, from 1999 to 2003, steering the group from its inception to an organization with eight full-time staff and an annual budget of over $500,000. It was that experience that prompted her

to seek a county legislator seat. “No one understood the services and needs of the community, and that really prompted me to run,” she said. Cobb cited her votes for a project labor agreement, the creation of a bipartisan government review committee and the passage of a new countywide ethics policy as highlights of her eight-year tenure. The Fairport, New York native also led the Democratic strategy to overtake the legislature from Republican leadership, resulting in a Democratic majority in 2006. It is this leadership experience — including the art of compromise, negotiation and listening — that Cobb believes makes her the most qualified candidate to defeat Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) in the 2018 general election. “I had to vote my authentic self,” Cobb said, on the project labor agreement. “I had to vote for what I thought was the right thing and live by that vote.” Cobb criticized Stefanik for her vote to repeal Obama’s signature healthcare law, and for holding a town hall meeting only after the vote — not before as other federal lawmakers had done. “Not only was she accountable, but she was the whip,” Cobb said. “She needs her feet held to the fire on that.” Social media is a valuable tool for engagement, said Cobb. But it must be leveraged with other forms of communication with constituents, including the elderly, many of whom may lack online access. If elected, Cobb said she will hold a town hall in all 12 of the district’s counties each year. “That’s 12 town halls. That seems to me completely doable,” Cobb said. Cobb said the U.S. needs to better prioritize funding for veterans in particular. “Every single veteran should have health care for life,” she said. “It should be nonnegotiable — that’s a principle.” And for Cobb, that’s what governing is all

about — principles and core values, not party politics, including the ideological schism that has emerged in the Democratic Party since Hillary Clinton’s defeat last year by Donald Trump, a Republican. “I think sometimes the problem with Democrats and with Republicans is that they get stuck with ideology, and I try very hard not to get stuck with ideology,” Cobb said. “It is about being authentic to who we are and how to communicate that. We get into these labels, and then we start to move into ideology and away from values. That’s when we get lost.” That’s precisely why Congress is gridlocked, Cobb said. The congressional district went overwhelmingly for Trump last year — the tough-talking New Yorker won all but one county (he lost Clinton County by less than one percentage point) — while Stefanik racked up a divisive 35 point victory over her Democratic opponent. “I trust that people in this district care about the values that I care about, and if I can communicate those with people, then people will be engaged,” Cobb said. The field for the Democratic nomination is deep, and Cobb must emergence victorious from the pack of the five other candidates

who have announced campaigns, including Patrick Nelson (Stillwater, Saratoga County), Emily Martz (Saranac Lake), Ronald Kim (Queensbury, Warren County), Dan Boyajian (Cambridge, Washington County) and Katie Wilson (Keene, Essex County). Cobb, who is married and has two college-age children, said she looks forward to hitting the road in the expansive district to meet with voters. She’ll host an event at the American Legion Post 20 Plattsburgh on Saturday, Sept. 23. In the meantime, she’ll continue to focus on consulting work and teaching her group of students in the community room at the Potsdam Public Library. Mondays are singing classes, a highlight. One of Cobb’s students this summer was a young man from Jordan. He taught her a phrase: Inshallah, which means “God willing.” “I will win the Democratic primary,” Cobb said. “Inshallah.” ■ ABOVE: Cobb teaches English as a second language as a hobby.

» Airport Cont. from pg. 1 “We expect this project will start, tentatively, later this fall,” Kreig said. “And it will be a six month project.” “Investing in our airport infrastructure enables safer, more efficient service for businesses and travelers,” said Gillibrand in a statement. “These funds are a major investment that will provide several airports across Upstate New York with the resources to renovate and upgrade their facilities.” The Plattsburgh International Airport was one of three upstate New York airports — including the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport in Queensbury, Warren County and the Finger Lakes Regional Airport in Seneca Falls, Seneca County — to be awarded funding through the FAA’s program. “I am very pleased to announce that more than $1.7 million will go to modernize airports and to support New York State’s in-

frastructure,” said Schumer in a statement. “Enabling these critical projects paves the way for local economies and communities in Upstate New York. “Making sure our airports are clear for takeoff is essential for the safety of air travelers and the smooth functioning of the local economy.”

NORTH COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT

Combined with Clinton County and the Development Corporation’s contributions, that funding has ballooned to $42 million, according to Kreig. All of the state-funded projects, including a customs facility, a new air cargo and distribution center, food concession build-outs and more, have a deadline of Oct. 31, 2018. ■

This most recent federal grant joins a number of similar announcements in the past few years. Earlier this summer, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) announced a $3.4 million federal grant — which required $190,000 state and county contributions — for the Plattsburgh International Airport through the FAA. Those funds will refurbish 2,700 feet of runway at the facility. Gov. Andrew Cuomo in January announced $38 million in funding for improvements.

Highlights

BIG WEEK FOR HORNETS

The Plattsburgh High School athletic program had a strong week, scoring wins By Keith Lobdell in every sport, including • SPORTS EDITOR • a huge win over AuSable Valley on the football field, 41-6. Mitch Senecal racked up 249 total yards to go with five touchdowns, while Joe Gonzalez-Lyons had 62 receiving yards and a touchdown and Ian Detulleo had a pair of interceptions. The boy’s soccer team scored a 4-0 win over Beekmantown, with Abdousabour Tidjani and Henry Wylie each scoring two goals for the Hornets. Evan Dyke had 16 saves for the Eagles. Tidjani added a goal and assists in a 3-0 win over NCCS, while the team suffered it’s lone loss of the week to Peru, 3-2, as Andrew Fullmer scored both goals for the Hornets while Noah Lederman scored two goals and Gabe Nuzzo one for the Indians. The girl’s soccer team worked a 2-2 tie against Northeastern Clinton as Brina Micheels scored both Hornet goals. Micheels scored five of her team’s six goals in a 6-1 win over Peru, with Mackenzie Carpenter scoring for the Indians. In swimming, Meghan Davey scored three wins for the Hornets in the first preseason meet of the year as the team finished atop the standings. Olivia Burnett, Madeline Lemza and Emily McLane also scored wins for Peru. In volleyball, Bridget Melhorn had 13 assists and five aces in a 3-0 win over NCCS, Melhorn added 11 assists and eight aces in a 3-0 win over Northern Adirondack, as well. The Lady Hornet cross country team also scored a win over Beekmantown, with McKenzie Baker finishing seventh in 21:40.

CROSS COUNTRY

Caleb Moore of Seton Catholic and Rachel Woodruff of Saranac kept their season win streaks alive easily, as Moore finished 1:04 ahead of Saranac’s Andrew LePage and Woodruff 21 seconds ahead of Seton Catholic’s Lea DeJordy in their Sept. 12 meet at Point Au Rouche. In Schuyler Falls, Peru’s Kaylee Amoriell placed second and teammate Lia Clemons third as the Lady Indians went 3-0 at the meet.

VOLLEYBALL POWER SHIFT

The Saranac Chiefs volleyball team has taken control of the top spot in the CVAC, thanks to a 3-1 win over Beekmantown. For the Eagles, it ended a 57-game winning streak and was their first CVAC regular season loss since AuSable Valley on Oct. 10, 2013. Elizabeth Trudeau had 23 assists to help the offense, while Trinity Paquin led the defense with 19 digs. Kylee Wiede-

man led the team with eight kills, while Maddie Hoeth added six. For the Eagles, Courntey Macey had nine kills, with Kaitlyn Bjelko adding four kills and Hannah LaFountain recording 25 digs. The Chiefs got 10 kills from Wiedeman in a 3-0 win over Northeastern Clinton earlier in the week, while in Peru, the Indians dropped a 3-1 match against Saranac Lake, with Olivia Bousquet having 23 assists and 18 digs with Marie Higgins adding 13 kills.

BROWN STRONG TO START

The CVAC gymnastics season started last week, with Delaney Brown showing championship form in winning the all-around and leading Peru to a 156.3-144.1 win over Beekmantown. Kira Fisher finished second for the Indians, with Rylee Desso placing fourth. Lauren Gonyo placed third in the all-around for the Eagles.

TOUGH FOOTBALL WEEK

While the Hornets were able to pick up a win on the gridiron, the other local teams did not fare as well. Saranac, who entered their week three contest against Ticonderoga at 2-0, found themselves down 34-0 before the end of the first quarter in falling to the Sentinels, 56-21. Luke Maye had 208 yards and a pair of touchdowns, both coming in the second half. On the same night, the Beekmantown were unable to stop the steamroller that was the Moriah offense and defense, dropping a 50-7 score as the team was led by Cris Arzola, who had 156 rushing yards and the teams lone touchdown. For the Peru Indians, a trip to SAranac Lake ended with a 32-9 defeat, as Ryley O’Connell threw for 151 yards and a touchdown, connecting the most with receiver Austin Carpenter, who had 104 yards and caught the touchdown pass from O’Connell.

Saranac’s Trinity Paquin serves the ball for the Lady Chiefs as they hosted their annual volleyball tournament Sept. 16. The Chiefs scored a 3-1 win over the Beekmantown Eagles last week along with a 3-0 win over Saranac Lake Sept. 18, taking sole possession of first place in the CVAC.

ON THE PITCH

Gabe Nuzzo scored the golden goal as the Indians scored a 1-0 over Saranac, while scoring two goals in a 3-0 win over Saranac Lake with Tyler Robinson making five saves in the shutout. Braxten Montville scored three times in a Saranac win over AuSable Valley, 5-1, while Casey Halloran scored a goal and added an assist as the Seton Catholic Knights scored a 3-0 win over Willsboro. Nora Canning had a goal and three assists in the Lady Chiefs 5-1 win over AuSable Valley. In Beekmantown, Kirsten Villemaire kept cutting her magic number down to the 100 career goal milestone with five goals against Saranac in a 6-0 win, where Shayna White made 14 saves for the Lady Chiefs. For Seton Catholic, Sydney Falb scored the equalizer and Haley Murnane scored the game-winner in overtime as the Lady Knights scored a 2-1 overtime win over the Lady Griffins. ■

Panel OKs county-wide shared services plan Dog control proposal sinks ahead of final vote By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | A county-led panel of local mayors and town supervisors last Friday officially approved Clinton County’s shared services plan, a savings roadmap expected to net over $700,000 worth of savings to municipalities throughout the county. One of the largest proposals, a centralized dog control service under the jurisdiction of the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office, was ultimately sunk before the final vote. Ausable Supervisor Sandra Senecal, Black Brook Supervisor Jon Douglass, Clinton Town Supervisor Daniel LaClair, Peru Town Supervisor Peter Glushko and Saranac Supervisor Nick Carter were the first to opt out of the plan, citing the costs. What followed was a domino effect as the cost to run a county-wide dog control service — $139,000, according to County Administrator Michael Zurlo — got steeper for towns who remained to split the cost. With the updated cost, City of Plattsburgh Mayor Colin Read, Ellenburg Town Supervisor Jason Dezan, Schuyler Falls Supervisor Richard Potiker and Altona Town Supervisor Larry Ross opted out. The remaining supervisors and village mayors followed, citing both an inability to shoulder the $139,000 cost between their municipalities and the additional cost to retain their individual dog licensing services. The remaining proposals — including

county takeover of Rouses Point policing and City of Plattsburgh assessment services — received near-unanimous approval. The only exception was in the case of LeClair, who opted the Town of Clinton out of utilizing county pricing for office supplies, and electric and gas through the Municipal Electric & Gas Alliance. With the panel’s final approval, Zurlo will submit the plan to the state. Based on actual savings, which will be recorded by the county and the individual towns, villages and the city, municipalities throughout the county may be eligible for a reimbursement check from the state. But this approval doesn’t mark the end of shared services discussions. Plattsburgh Town Supervisor Michael Cashman said that his fellow supervisors, as part of the Clinton County Supervisors Association, would continue discussion of ways to save money through collaboration. “I think it’s good if we keep this dialogue open,” said Zurlo. “There will always be opportunities for municipalities in Clinton County to work together.” Neighboring Essex County has voted to delay implementation of a plan until 2018, citing an unrealistic timeframe set by the state. The focus of next year’s efforts will be developing a shared services plan to shore up EMS agencies, which continue to struggle to meet the minimum needs of rural, remote communities. “In general, each agency has sought to solve their challenges independently, but there is a common realization that working together will provide a more effective and efficient solution to the problem of providing excep-

tional EMS care countywide,” said County Manager Dan Palmer in a statement. “The panel believes this initiative will produce taxpayer savings while meeting the critical medical needs to county residents moving forward.” ■

Charter penalized for slow broadband buildout Cable heavyweight will forego $13 million in reimbursements for failing to meet benchmarks By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ALBANY | Charter Communications will forgo $13 million in state reimbursements after failing to build out their cable network as required as part of last year’s merger with Time Warner Cable. The New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) announced the settlement last week. “In its approval of the merger, the Commission required Charter to undertake several types of investments and other activities,” said PSC Chair John B. Rhodes in a statement. “While Charter is delivering on many of them, it failed to expand the reach of its network to unserved and underserved customers at the pace it committed. We are taking these additional steps to ensure full and complete compliance.” As part of the merger agreement that created the nation’s largest telecommunications firm, Charter was required to bring high-speed internet to 145,000 unserved households throughout the state. While Charter has reported that it has completed the first speed upgrade ahead of schedule, the provider had only extended its network to pass 15,164 of the 36,250 premises it was required to pass in the first year. The Connecticut-based provider has agreed to forgo future reimbursements if it fails to hit six-month benchmarks through May 2020. The actual amount forfeited, according to the PSC, will vary depending upon the percentage of the target missed and whether or not Charter can demonstrate it has timely performed specific tasks. The $13 million settlement is the largest cable company financial settlement of its kind in state history and possibly the largest in the nation’s, according to the PSC. The settlement comes as the state enters the homestretch for the New NY Broadband Program, the initiative to fully wire the state with high-speed broadband by the end of 2018. The state Broadband Program Office has awarded $266 million to date — including $40 million to the North Country — as part of the effort. Investments could top $1 billion when paired with funds from the private sector. The third and final deadline for state grants was Aug. 31 and will be augmented by $170 million in federal funds allocated by the Federal Communications Commission. Since Verizon has declined to participate in the program,

Charter will overbuild on their service area to cover the remaining areas. But divining which locations in northern New York that may benefit from the expansions — including those in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties — can be tricky because the provider does not make their service maps public, citing their proprietary nature. “We are currently engaged in an extensive and thoughtful review of areas across upstate NY that lack access to our state-of-the-art broadband, TV and voice services,” Andrew

Russell, a Charter spokesman, told The Sun in April. “As part of this process, we are pleased to work with interested parties to review potential deployment opportunities and will continue to do so.” However, as part of the settlement agreement, Charter was required to develop a website to inform homeowners and businesses whether their address is included in their broadband expansion plan.
