Sheriff candidates square off at fast-moving debate More coverage of this race can be found on pgs. 8 & 9

Opiates, overtime, school security hot topics

he said, citing ambiguity over projected cost savings. “I’ve knocked on several doors in Rouses Point and the reviews have been mixed.”

Favro said the operations for the nowdissolved department constituted 23 percent of the village’s tax levy, citing a letter from Village of Rouses Point Mayor Thomas Batha.

Since the department was shuttered, there hasn’t been one formal complaint, said Favro, and the public is pleased with the enhanced road patrols.

Favro said the sheriff ’s office also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the state police and the county’s dispatch service that would allow for emergency response if needed.

PLATTSBURGH | Opiates, overtime and school security dominated discussion of the faceoff between the contenders for Clinton County sheriff last week.

Clinton County Sheriff David Favro is defending his seat for a fifth term against challenger Matt Bell, a detective with the Plattsburgh City Police Department (PPD).

The candidates covered vast ground in the hour-long event sponsored by The League of Women Voters and moderated by Thom Hallock, fielding nearly two dozen audience-submitted questions at a rapid clip to an overflow crowd.

Favro and Bell broadly agree on the need for increased educational efforts to deter adolescent drug use and increased resources for mental health training and to combat domestic violence.

They also agree teachers should not be armed.

MORALE IN FOCUS

Clinton County Sheriff David Favro, a Democrat, is defending his seat against Matt Bell, a Republican.

Photos by Pete DeMola But the candidates sharply disagree on other issues, including the formation of a narcotics unit at the sheriff ’s office, the use of overtime and morale at the county jail.

CONSOLIDATING DEPARTMENTS

The Clinton County Sheriff ’s Office assumed

operations from the Rouses Point Police Department last year.

Asked if the county should explore additional police department consolidations, Bell indicated he would not be in favor of doing so.

“I don’t believe that’s going to happen,”

Bell said if elected, he would improve what he contends are morale issues at the county jail.

Since he launched his campaign in June, Bell said he’s been asked at least a dozen times ostensibly about yard signs.

But he said the real reason was that corrections officers are upset at being treated like “second class citizens,” said Bell, citing a discussion with an officer unhappy at not being invited to community functions. » Sheriff race Cont. on pg. 4

Adirondack cuisine trails to cross borders New York, Vermont faction visits Quebec farms

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

NOYAN, QUEBEC | Barreling through a winding strip along the U.S.-Canada border, a cavalcade of cars sped past vast swaths of farmland.

The cars, sporting license plates from Vermont, New York and Quebec, came to a stop at the door of the Fromagerie Fritz Kaiser in the small Town of Noyan. Over two dozen people got out to the distant echo of mooing cows and filed in, quickly corralling along a sleek glass showcase filled with

dozens of wheels of artisan cheese.

Here, the pungent smell of La Mancha — a sweet, soft cheese made from goat’s milk — is a visitor’s first greeting.

It was just a few days earlier that the Adirondack Cuisine Trail Association, a nonprofit spearheaded by Cornell Cooperative Extension Vice President Jay White, unveiled six new cuisine trails that splinter into river-like pathways through the Adirondack park. » Cuisine trail Cont. on pg. 16

North Country, Canadian officials bet on farmers Agri-tourism effort aims to support rural towns, small biz

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

FORT-COULONGE, QUEBEC | In a small ballroom in the back of Fort-Coulonge’s historic Spruceholme Inn, a delegation of Canadian mayors, officials and Quebec farmers mingled with visiting Americans from New York and Vermont as the smell of locally-sourced mushroom soup and pork-stuffed chicken wafted through the hall.

The Canadians had planned this gala last week for their visitors, a warm welcome to their neighbors from across the border who had come to taste what their region had to offer as part of the early stages of the CANAMEX agri-tourism project, a sprawling system of cuisine trails between New York, Vermont, Quebec and Ontario that officials hope will connect in the future.

That future could be coming very soon, according to Quebec resident David Gillespie, founder of CANAMEX. Officials are angling to connect the trails cross-border by spring.

Planning for that launch is ongoing.

While speeding through the rural Canadian countryside, just prior to arriving at the Inn last week, Gillespie and the American visitors were seen huddled in the front of a Prevost tourbus to discuss what, exactly, to name this sprawling agri-tourism effort once it’s complete.

CROSS-BORDER COLLABORATION

If not for the border crossing and rapid increase in French-

language signage, in some ways the terrain of Fort-Coulonge mirrored that of Clinton County.

And with that similar terrain, a similar economic reality.

“We have a fabulous opportunity to collaborate with our American partners,” said William Amos, a member of the Canadian Parliament that represents Fort-Coulonge and the greater Pontiac region, a district with a population of approximately 106,499 people that encompasses more than 33,430 square miles of western Quebec, in the House of Commons.

Much like the City of Plattsburgh, which was hit hard when the U.S. Air Force base closed in 1995 and soldiers stationed there moved away, Pontiac was hit hard when the logging industry here rapidly declined faced with low returns and increased environmental regulations.

And much like Plattsburgh, though it’s been years since that industry largely left, the Pontiac region is still trying to rebuild.

In this effort to emerge from the ashes brighter and better, local officials in Pontiac are betting on their farmers.

Agriculture and agri-tourism is a vital part of the region’s comeback, Amos said. There are 529 tourism-related businesses in Pontiac that support more than 5,000 jobs.

That’s part of why the Canadian government recently authorized a $50 million funding stream over the next two years to bolster Destination Canada — previously known as the Canadian Tourism Commission — to market the country to an international audience, according to Amos.

“The idea of cross-border agri-tourism makes total sense,” he said.

BANKING ON TOURISM

Officials in the North Country are taking note.

At a late-night gala organized by Canadian officials to welcome a group of Americans touring Quebec and Ontario’s agriculture businesses, CANAMEX founder David Gillespie, a Quebec resident and sheep farmer, talks about the inspiration behind connecting cuisine trails in New York, Vermont and Canada.

“I can’t imagine working there in the conditions they have right now,” said Bell, who began his career at the department before leaving in 1997.

Favro shot back that Bell hasn’t visited the facility since taking a job at the PPD two decades ago.

“I’m sorry you’ve been misinformed by people who didn’t get a promotion or didn’t get their way,” Favro said. “The morale at the sheriff’s department is not the picture being painted. We have not had any write-ups or concerns being brought to our attention.”

Bell later said he’s spoken with “dozens of individuals who are unhappy how things are going” and said turnover could be reduced with happier staff.

Favro said he spends at least an hour in the jail each day chatting with inmates and officers.

He said he’s attentive to day-to-day operations, and the complaints stem from a handful of disgruntled employees.

Favro said several employees left after sexual harassment incidents, and posited some complaints may have stemmed from how the administration handled those.

“Nothing gets swept under the rug,” Favro

said. “It gets handled, and some people don’t like that.”

SCHOOL SECURITY

Bell questioned the deployment of school resource officers (SRO) at districts across the county under Favro’s leadership and said taxpayers are paying more than necessary.

Beekmantown Central School has contracted with the sheriff’s office to provide an SRO for a total cost of $76,971, he said.

The original contract was with a deputy sheriff with a base salary of $26,620. Bell wondered where the other $50,000 went.

Favro contended his office cannot force members of the Patrol Division to work as SROs. As a result of the lack of a willing deputy, he turned to a retired Plattsburgh Police Detective who is just as “highly trained and skilled.”

Favro said he sat down with Beekmantown Superintendent Dan Mannix and explained it’s unfair to charge by the hour when other schools don’t have that same opportunity.

And if the SRO is unavailable owing to illness, Favro must backfill with someone off the road.

PATROL PLANS

When Favro first started in 2003, he said he personally witnessed correction officers return

from inmate transports and exchange firearms and ammunition with deputies. Deputies would then borrow transport cars to serve papers.

“We’re a highly trained and highly equipped law enforcement agency that can handle pretty much any response that the county could call for and we have done so.”

In 2003, the department did not receive any requests from the state police for assistance, he said.

The number grew to 400 by 2017.

Favro also touted $2 million in grants he has obtained to purchase patrol cars and tasers.

Bell said he’d like to start a local impact narcotics unit at the sheriff’s office.

“There’s not a single individual in this county who has presented more cases to Clinton County Grand Jury, presented more search warrants and locked up more people than me.”

Bell said he wants to reallocate 3 or 4 individuals from the Patrol Division and have them work in conjunction with the Clinton County District Attorney’s Office.

REVENUE AT JAIL

The candidates disagreed over the extent to which the jail could be used to generate revenue.

“The jail can be a money maker. If staffed

properly, it can make money,” Bell said. “Making money is what saves taxpayers money.”

The expansion in 2006 tripled correction officers from between 30 and 34 officers to 96, and currently houses between 250 to 270 inmates daily.

Favro said the sheriff’s office has returned $2 million in revenue to the county in four years to offset general fund costs, which he credited to effective administration.

But he said the “jail should not be operated and viewed as a moneymaker” and revenue to offset costs to taxpayer is strictly an ancillary benefit.

“To look at housing people that have committed offenses in society and have mental illness as an opportunity to make money is not the way to view it. If you are able to do that through good management and efficient operations, that’s a good job.”

Bell also questioned what he said is an excessive use of overtime under Favro’s watch.

“We cannot allow individuals to almost double their salary through the use of overtime,” Bell said, citing an officer who accrued more than 1,000 hours of overtime. ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

Election 2018

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

It’s just business as usual

While taking some time off, I’m taking a look back to previous columns for a little perspective on the world of political twists and turns.

By Dan Alexander Here’s one from January • PUBLISHER • 2014.

It’s hard to know whom and what to believe any more. Our political system has played the spin cards so often on the American public they may have spun themselves completely out of sight.

Combine that with a national media that has a greater interest in sensational reporting and little to do with investigative watch dogging. We are left with an uninformed and confused public.

Last week’s big news was all about New Jersey Gov. Christie and what is being called “Bridgegate.”

Was the purposeful closing of several lanes on the most traveled bridge in the U.S. done for political reasons, and did Gov. Christie have any involvement in the activity, are the big questions now that will be bantered about ad nauseam until the next big news story hits.

The problem is who can we really believe anymore? The governor has a reputation as a no nonsense leader. A man who has proven to be a formidable opponent, but none the less still a politician at heart and not above political posturing.

The governor claims to be embarrassed at the actions of his staff and, as yet, no evidence has come forward connecting him to the bridge lane closures.

That’s where the trust and skepticism begins to invade one’s thinking. Can we believe anything, regardless of the source, when political strategy and high offices are at the root of the subject?

Politicians will tell us until they are blue, it’s our best interest they have at heart, but time and time again we learn the opposite is true.

Consider a smaller news story over shadowed last week when Bridgegate hit the scene.

The Center for Responsive Politics released their report on the personal financial disclosure on members of Congress, finding over half of them had an average net worth of $1 million or more. The figures were split evenly between Democrats and Republican.

On the Senate side, the average net worth of a senator was $2.7 million with the Republicans averaging $2.9 million, and Democrats were $1.7 million.

All the while looking out for our best interest our elected representatives seem to find time to pocket a little for themselves, leaving us to question their motives when a scandal hits the wire.

Sadly, we seem to go from one hot issue to another week after week and in the end it seems nothing positive changes for the American public.

Our jobless rate continues to struggle, the economy is left to limp along and our leaders continue to play political games with the majority of their focus on posturing for the 2014 midterm elections and the 2016 presidential elections.

There should be more to our national purpose than political window dressing, but time after time, we are left holding the bag while the major focus revolves around their elections. ■

Lawmaker discusses bipartisanship, culling gridlock

PLATTSBURGH | Dr. Lynn Kahn just wants her shot.

The organizational psychologist has three decades of experience untangling red tape in the federal government, leaving in its place roadmaps designed to “drive significant change to complicated problems.”

“It’s almost like you’re creating an architecture,” Kahn told The Sun’s Editorial Board.

Now she want to apply that same approach to Congress.

The Green Party candidate for New York’s 21st Congressional District aims to defeat Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) on Nov. 6.

Democratic candidate Tedra Cobb is also running.

Kahn spent 22 years at the Federal Aviation Administration. While there, she helped shape the strategic plan that moved the U.S. from ground-based radar to satellite-based aviation communication, navigation and surveillance systems.

The candidate also served on the National Partnership to Reinvent Government, the Bill Clinton-era initiative, and more recently, worked with the New York’s City’s Office of Criminal Justice, concluding a project in January that involved all criminal justice agencies as well as “hundreds of community and stakeholder groups.”

PLATTSBURGH | Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) said she doesn’t have all the solutions to cure the ills afflicting Washington.

But she believes bipartisanship is a crucial ingredient.

“I have had the courage to put forth new legislative solutions, whether it’s introducing policies under my name that are very specific or whether it’s playing leading roles in forcing big policy discussions,” Stefanik told The Sun’s Editorial Board.

The lawmaker signed a discharge petition earlier this summer to force Congress to weigh a solution to the immigration impasse that saw families being separated at the southern border, becoming “one of the members that’s willing to challenge my own party on that issue.”

Stefanik is seeking a third term on Nov. 6. She faces a challenge from Tedra Cobb, a Democrat, and Green Party candidate Lynn Kahn.

The lawmaker has been ranked No. 27 out of 435 House members for bipartisanship in a report by the Lugar Center and the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University.

The index measures bipartisanship using legislation sponsored and cosponsored by members of Congress and senators across party lines.

“That’s that something we need more of in Washington,” Stefanik said.

‘NO RESULTS’

All this time tinkering under the hood of bureaucracies revealed what Kahn characterizes as “enormous waste” at government agencies.

One study has revealed 22 percent of federal programs have no results, she said.

“It doesn’t impact anybody in any positive way at all,” she said. “Why do we keep funding those programs?”

Kahn is a former Democrat running under the Green Party banner.

While she does favor some elements of a bold, expansive government, Kahn also harbors deep streaks of fiscal conservatism, contending that big-government programs like single-payer health care can be paid for, in part, by snipping out some $1 trillion in government waste.

‘FOCUSED LIKE A LASER’

The lawmaker cited repeal of the medical device tax and her co-sponsorship of the National Defense Authorization Act as key accomplishments this term.

The defense bill, which President Trump signed in a pompfilled ceremony at Fort Drum alongside Stefanik, offered the biggest pay increase to troops in nine years.

“That really funded the military in a way we didn’t see in the Obama administration and the negative impact from sequestration,” she said.

Future of health care in balance

To the Editor: North Country families in New York’s 21st Congressional District need to take a stand for affordable and accessible healthcare policies. Our rural hospitals and health facilities depend on it to remain funded, staffed and available to everyone regardless of your health, how you are insured or your political party.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) has repeatedly voted against our North Country healthcare interests, has avoided open town hall meetings and debates and appears only in scripted settings with select attendees.

We must protect the health care strides we’ve made, along with developing the North Country’s economy to make our region’s future even brighter for our children to grow and raise families here.

Vote your family’s interests on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Apologetic over behavior at football game

To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the incident that took place at the Ticonderoga/Plattsburgh football game last Friday evening.

Anyone who was at the game probably witnessed my emotional outburst toward the end of the game.

I take responsibility for my actions, but I would like people to know that this was a very emotional time for me and my family.

My son was injured during the first game of the season, and this was his first game back. I was very concerned about his health and was anxious on every play that he was in the game.

As the game came to an end, my emotions got the best of me which led to this incident.

With that being said, I know I should have kept my emotions in check and will do so in the future.

I would like all of us to remember that high school athletics are an extension of the classroom, and although it is great to be passionate, please keep this in perspective as you support your team.

In conclusion, I would like to apologize again if I offend any fans, players, officials and coaches.

In the future, we need to work together to make high school athletics a positive experience for all.

Upset at sign vandalism

To the Editor: As a person working on the campaign of Tedra Cobb for New York’s 21st Congressional District, it was sad to see some of the signs for my candidate taken down and thrown into the woods around Ti. They all had the same appearance as the wire holding the signs was bent in a 90degree angle and the signs were bent in half.

I don’t know who the vandals were that did this, but I plan on calling the Ticonderoga Police and making a complaint. I believe childish behavior such as this wouldn’t be tolerated by either candidate.

There is nothing wrong with people disagreeing on who is the better candidate, but vandalism can’t be tolerated.

Nation facing God’s wrath

To the Editor: The influence of Fox News and Trump in the White House is canonical proof that this nation is under the wrath of God. - John Maddix, Plattsburgh ■

Social Security on the line in November

To the Editor: Perhaps you have seen the lawn signs around that say, “Save Medicare, Save Social Security, Vote Democratic,” and thought, “Yeah, right. A scare tactic.”

Think again.

On Oct. 16, Senate Majority Leader Mitch

McConnell called on Congress to rein in government programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in order to slow America’s increasing national debt.

He called the debt disturbing and said it’s driven by the three entitlement programs. I prefer to call Medicare and Social Security earned benefits and Medicaid a safety net.

He did not mention the recent GOP tax plan, which the Senate passed, that gave huge tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy, thus diminishing government income and increasing the national debt.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected that the GOP tax plan will add $1.9 trillion to our national debt over the next 10 years.

Rep. Stefanik marches in lockstep with her party’s leadership, voting over 90 percent of the time with the current administration, with little regard for the needs of her constituents.

Although Rep. Stefanik did not vote in favor of the GOP tax plan, she has played a role in the GOP plan to privatize Social Security and create a voucher system for Medicare.

According to U.S. Census, there are 121,415 people over 65 in our district, and therefore recipients of Medicare and Social Security.

That number is about one out of every five people in New York’s 21st Congressional Districts. Privatizing Social Security and vouchering Medicare would be devastating for us.

Rep. Stefanik votes with little regard for what her constituents need. I don’t want a political puppet representing me in Washington. I want someone who actually knows us and will work for the needs of her constituents, not her party.

- Nina Matteau, Westport ■

Vote Stefanik out

To the Editor: Let’s create a society that benefits only really rich people.

It’s easy. Here’s the plan.

First, give massive tax breaks to the rich and corporations. Then cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid because they only benefit poor and old people.

While we’re at it, dismantle health care.

After all, why should sick people stand in the way of massive profits for insurance and pharmaceutical companies?

Don’t worry, they’ve been promising us for years that something, somehow is going to “trickle down” to the rest of us.

Good news, the Republican Party has stepped up to the plate and is busily at work creating this very society right now.

So, if you like this plan, then you should vote for Elise Stefanik.

Seriously folks, she hasn’t been much of a representative for the North Country. What has she done? She represents herself and the Republican Party more than anything else. It’s time for a change. This Nov. 6, vote Elise Stefanik out!

- David Morgan, Schroon Lake ■

North Country represented by honorable people

To the Editor: I’m getting real tired of the blatantly partisan attacks on Elise. I’ve many friends from all political persuasions, and over the last 50 years or so, I’ve been involved in numerous organizations and causes and I’ve learned a lot.

For several years now, I’ve been a Ticonderoga Town Republican Committee member. I’ve planted and picked up signs, circulated petitions, attended a thousand meetings, vetted and endorsed candidates and met with them socially.

I even ran for office locally (and thankfully lost). I do not recommend or endorse people whom I don’t trust.

I do not want to change anyone’s mind or run down any candidate. I just want to share my opinion of some people I’ve grown to know and respect in light of the personal and political attacks on them.

Over the last few years, I have gotten to know Elise Stefanik fairly well. Talked with her most recently a couple of weeks ago. She’s good people, and as more people notice that, she is becoming a growing power in Washington. Our voices

are being heard there as never before.

Dan Stec, if I ever grow up, I want to be him. Friendly as a St. Bernard, mind like a steel trap and effective in reaching across the table, yet principled in what he stands for.

Saw him most recently a couple of weeks ago.

Betty Little, I asked her the other day if she was tired after having served in Albany, “No, I love it” she said, with a big smile.

I gave her a tour of the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum some years ago.

Shaking hands with Betty and enjoying her knowledge and humor is always a treat.

I know they care about us, and I know that we are well represented by honest and honorable people.

Voters should elect most qualified candidates

To the Editor: First of all, I will not support any candidate that professes they will fight for me.

This has become the major obstacle to governing on all levels. I do not want someone to fight for me but to go to the seat of power and work for all of us.

Just think of the circus we witnessed during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing. This fight even spilled over to the streets of Saranac Lake when several dozen residents, on the steps of the town hall, convicted the judge before hearing all the evidence.

“Innocent until proven guilty,” indeed!

I suppose these demonstrators were in the “fight” as they were encouraged by their representatives on the judiciary committee to do so.

Liberal policies have been so rejected by middle America that it has been replaced by the term progressive.

Study history anyone?

T.R., a Republican, was the first to call his policies progressive over 100 years ago! To site only one, he supported strong, secure borders.

Imagine that!

For years, local politics were supportive of those qualified candidates working for the interest of everyone.

We in the Republican Party have always supported the most qualified regardless of party affiliation. We have placed several qualified Democrat Party members on our line. The old time Democrat Party often would not run a candidate against a well qualified Republican.

No more!

Today party affiliation comes first. In today’s arena, I suspect that neither Harry Truman nor J.F.K. would not pass current muster.

on their own because of GOP failures to act.

The next generation will also have to face foreign policy challenges now made more daunting by the alienation of long-standing, reliable allies and the weakening of international institutions that have served American interests so effectively for some 70 years.

The next generation will have to confront all of these consequences of neglect and irresponsibility with seriously compromised political institutions.

By sacrificing national interests for narrow partisan interests, the current GOP regime exhibits a contempt for foundational political norms which have long served the common good and made the American democratic political community the envy of the world.

It is very important therefore, that in this coming election, we think not only of today’s 21st District but also of how our votes will affect the next generation.

Stefanik strong on combating opioid epidemic

To the Editor: The North Country is no stranger to the tragedies that result from a pattern of opioid abuse in our area.

We lose billions of dollars every year fighting this problem. Addiction affects our neighbors, our friends and our families every day.

As a lifelong resident in this area, I have seen the devastating effects of this issue firsthand.

With this problem so close to home, we need a strong advocate in Washington to combat the issue on the national level.

Rep. Stefanik consistently proves herself to be this voice. My spirits were uplifted after hearing the results of her recent heroin and opioid round table event in Wilton.

Stefanik explained that she is a member of the bipartisan Heroin Task Force, a role in which she collaborates with other members of Congress to find effective solutions to this growing problem.

Her dedication in passing CARA, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, as well as the 21st Century Cures Act, demonstrates her commitment to helping our district recover and rebuild.

Stefanik also fought to secure over $4 billion to fight this growing epidemic. This is, of course, an ongoing problem and we are far from eliminating the issue, but I feel safe and encouraged to have such a strong advocate fighting on our behalf in the capitol.

In her battle to end this epidemic, Rep. Stefanik is saving us more than just billions of dollars; she is saving the lives of our loved ones.

Bell seeks to boost morale, launch narcotics unit in bid for sheriff Hopeful aims to unseat Sheriff David Favro

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Matt Bell wants to return to where it all began.

After launching his law enforcement career as a corrections officer with the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office in 1992, he now wants to lead the department.

Bell, a detective with the Plattsburgh City Police Department, hopes to unseat incumbent sheriff David Favro, who has had the job for the past 16 years.

Bell said his campaign is driven by three main passions: Improving morale and decreasing turnover at the Clinton County Jail, creating a narcotics unit within the department and boosting school resource officers at schools across the district.

COMBATING OPIOIDS

Bell, a Republican, has spent 21 years at the Plattsburgh Police Department, the past 15 assigned as narcotics investigator, the majority of time with the Drug Enforcement Administration.

“There’s not a person who has done more search warrants than me; presented more cases to the Clinton County Grand Jury than me and locked more people away in terms of narcotics,” Bell told The Sun. At present, the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office doesn’t have a narcotics unit.

“It’s my passion to get a narcotics unit up and running there,” Bell said.

The DEA’s primary goal is not to investigate “low-impact” drug cases, Bell said.But those cases most directly impact the community, he said.

A specialized unit would also lead to greater cooperation between law enforcement agencies.

Bell, 50, said he would create the unit using existing staff and asset forfeiture funds.

“I’m not going to have an issue with people who are part of the Patrol Division wanting to work narcotics,” he said. “The manpower is already there. There’d be a few less deputies on patrol, but they’d be working narcotics.”

Bell also said he’d like to explore using confidential informants at the county jail, a practice he said is “totally ignored and untapped.”

Doing so can be done legally and without violating their constitutional rights, he said.

“Your informants would be right there,” he said. “That has not been done.”

Bell estimated 90 percent of crime in Clinton County is drug-related, including burglaries and larcenies.

Dealers can purchase a bag of heroin for $5 in New York City and sell it for $25 in Plattsburgh, he said.

That same bag would have cost $50 in Plattsburgh in 2004.

“Normally the price of stuff doesn’t go down,” he said. “But this epidemic has become so bad, now you’re paying half of what you would have in 2004.”

“The size of the seizures are tremendously larger than there were before and there’s more of them,” he said.

Bell also said the lack of local detox centers is problematic because recovering addicts often make new connections from New York City or New Jersey if sent outside of the county to detox.

“Not only do our people meet new drug connections, they actually through these inpatient rehabs, bringing people here,” he said.

“It’s essential we’re not sending people away.”

SCHOOL SAFETY

Bell believes his plan for providing school resource officers (SROs) is more fiscally conservative than current practice while ensuring no gaps in coverage.

At $76,971 annually, the cost of Beekmantown Central School District’s SRO is unnecessarily high, he said.

The base salary for the retired city police officer as part of a contract with the sheriff’s office is $26,620, and Bell said he wants to

know how to account for the differential.

In contrast, the cost for two SROs at Plattsburgh City School District is $64,000, including salaries, uniforms and training.

Deputies can’t be pulled from the Patrol Division and forced to work as SROs, said Favro.

As such, Favro hired a retired Plattsburgh City Police detective to serve as an SRO at Beekmantown Central.

Favro said he met with Beekmantown Central Superintendent Dan Mannix and explained he could not offer an hourly rate because it would be unfair to other districts.

Additional costs would also be accrued if the SRO was unavailable and had to be backfilled with another deputy, he said.

Bell wants to use retired deputies from the Patrol Division as SROs. He would reallocate the salaries and fringe benefits for three retiring deputies to fund eight additional SROs. “My plan would hire them at less than half the cost,” he said.

He believes he could sweeten the deal by offering benefits like those contained in Plattsburgh Police Department contracts.

“In this climate, as far as taxpayers money goes, I think my plan is a no-brainer,” Bell said.

CULLING OVERTIME

Bell also wants to curb what he believes is excessive overtime.

“I think there’s been a gross negligence in terms of supervision as far as the Patrol Division goes,” he said, citing documents obtained through Freedom of Information Law requests.

City police worked 4,147 hours of overtime in 2013. But the number for the sheriff’s office during that same time period was 9,759, he said.

“They more than doubled our overtime,” he said. “Each year since 2013, their Patrol Division has worked more hours of overtime than the Plattsburgh Police Department.”

Bell cited a deputy who racked up 1,005 hours in overtime, noting a work year contains 2,080 hours.

“That’s basically taking an individual and

in a five-year period, that’s more than two years of work hours,” he said.

Bell acknowledged Favro has utilized grants to cover those costs.

“There’s no free money,” he said. “I think someone needs to be responsible for that overtime.”

BOOSTING MORALE

Bell cited boosting morale at the county jail as a leading issue.

The conditions lead to high turnover, he said, and the long hours place a toll on families.

“Right now I’ve been approached by numerous correction officers in the jail,” Bell said.

“The morale issue right now is horrible. The turnover rate is horrible. These guys are getting ordered in every few days. Some people like the overtime, but some people don’t.”

Bell was hired by then Clinton County Sheriff Russell J. Trombly to work at the jail in 1992. As such, he said he knows the routine, everything from handing out toilet paper to pushing around a medical cart.

He attributes the poor morale to not being treated well, and being treated as an afterthought to the Patrol Division.

“These guys need to be treated with dignity and respect,” he said. » Bell Cont. on pg. 11

Favro running on record in bid for fifth term Sheriff highlights accomplishments on grants, work to combat opioid crisis

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Clinton County Sheriff David Favro said his record speaks for itself.

As he seeks a fifth term, Favro cycled through his accomplishments, including his oversight of the expansion of the county jail, expanding services to aid addicts and bolstering state, local and federal partnerships throughout the region.

He also said he has secured $2 million in grants to enhance efforts in the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division.

“My record speaks for itself,” Favro said. “I’m made promises and kept those promises over 16 years.”

LEADING ROLE

Favro, a Democrat, said the sheriff’s office has continued to take a leading role in combating the opioid epidemic under his leadership, working with agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and DEA Task Force alongside tackling “local impact” cases.

Favro, 57, does not agree with his opponent, Matt Bell, that the department should create a specialized narcotics unit.

“We’re better off supporting New York State Police who can bring resources and equipment,” Favro told The Sun. The department actively pursues drug investigations, he said, as well as works on local impact cases.

An effective response requires more than an “arrest and incarcerate” mentality, he said.

Favro said he has been successful in securing grants since taking office in 2003, including $500,000 in funding for substance abuse training for counselors.

The county jail has also hired a post-release counselor who works with inmates upon their release to find appro-

priate housing and aid with job seeking, among other tasks.

He believes authorities must continue seeking resources to address mental health issues, which often go in tandem with substance abuse.

Favro served as an officer with the Plattsburgh City Police from 1982-2002, and was promoted to detective running the juvenile division in 1989.

Under his leadership, the sheriff’s office has also expanded the D.A.R.E. program to all fifth graders in the county, he said.

SCHOOL SECURITY

As the nation debates how to best protect students from shooting events, Clinton County has been a pioneer in developing school resource officer (SRO) programs, said Favro, and implemented the first pilot program at BOCES eight years ago.

The office currently has contracts with five schools to provide SROs, and Favro continues to meet with administrators at school districts across the county to discuss the best way to implement SRO programs.

One initiative he will tackle if re-elected on Nov. 6 is to submit a petition to the governor’s office signed by every superintendent in the county asking for state funding for SROs. A comprehensive program is needed to ensure future sustainability, Favro said, so no funds disappear.

“We’re still aggressively and consistently pursing grant opportunities,” he said.

At present, schools are required fund the base salaries of SROs, while the sheriff’s office covers ancillary costs, including training, vehicles, uniform and maintenance fees.

Deputies can’t be pulled from the Patrol Division and forced to work as SROs, he said.

As such, Favro hired a retired Plattsburgh City Police detective to serve as an SRO at Beekmantown Central, a measure that has generated criticism from Bell.

Favro said he met with Beekmantown Central Superintendent Dan Mannix and explained he could not offer an hourly rate because it would be unfair to other districts.

Additional costs would be accrued if the SRO was unavailable and had to be backfilled with another deputy, he said.

JAIL EXPANSION

Under his tenure, Favro oversaw the expansion of the Clinton County Jail, tripling its size from 92 to 300 beds upon its completion in 2006.

When it opened, it was the first jail in the state to go paperless.

With a $14 million annual budget, Favro said the smooth operation of the facility requires strong business management skills, including researching and hiring vendors and negotiating contracts.

“We are a separate community out here on 25 McCarthy Drive,” he said.The jail’s top purpose isn’t to serve as a revenue generator: “Making money in the jail is not its intention and shouldn’t be viewed as such,” Favro said.

The primary purpose should be to operate the facility in a “safe, secure and humane fashion.”

Any additional revenue that can be turned over to Clinton County is an ancillary benefit, Favro said, citing $2 million returned to the county’s general fund in the past four years.

At a candidate forum last week, Bell criticized morale at the facility as poor.

The sheriff defended his oversight of the facility, citing daily talks with correction officers and inmates as part of an “open door” policy. » Favro Cont. on pg. 11

» Kahn Cont. from pg. 6 “I have done an enormous amount of research about the waste in the federal government, so I think everybody’s assessment of what things cost is so far off-base and detached from reality because we’re not looking at how wasteful the federal government is,” Kahn said.

The candidate is against tax hikes for working families and small businesses.

“I would never support raising taxes,” she said.

If elected, Kahn would seek a seat on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

“I think that’s where I can get to every agency and start holding them accountable,” she said, citing a nickname that stuck during her time in Washington: “The Government Mechanic.”

IMPROVING OUTCOMES

Kahn has read H.R. 676, better known as “Expanded and Improved Medicare for All,” the single-payer health care backed by Democrats in the House.

If elected, Kahn said she would sign on as a co-sponsor provided her proposed amendments are included, including bolstering usage of medical marijuana and focusing on health outcomes rather than payment systems.

Are Americans better off then they were four years ago when it comes to health care?

“I don’t think so,” Kahn said. “I think more people are insured, and that’s good.”

Despite the Affordable Care Act remaining the law of the land, Kahn regularly hears from those having difficulty accessing services even with Medicare and Medicaid — like a resident who told Kahn they waited three months to get eyeglass prescription filled, for instance.

Or those recounting expensive ambulance rides to Ticonderoga or Albany for stabilization before being transported to providers in Vermont.

“I really want to make sure that we’re focused on expanding health care and lowering the costs, but also improving

Church

health outcomes,” Kahn said. “What difference is this going to make if we’re not improving the outcomes?”

UNTAPPED CREATIVITY

Joining a single-payer health care system as a key campaign platform is bolstering workforce development programs.

“It’s not that there are no jobs here,” Kahn said. “It’s just having 2-3 part-time jobs with no benefits is not full employment and I hear that concern a lot.”

The candidate is also keen on developing a green energy corridor along the St. Lawrence River through the use of hydrogen fuel technology.

Harnessing the untapped power of the river could drive more businesses back to an economically depressed area by creating new green energy and manufacturing jobs.

“There’s so much creativity here and it just doesn’t get tapped,” Kahn said. “We could create such an economic powerhouse up there if we really look broadly.

“I’ve been talking with a lot of people about that, but it’s a bit of a hard sell.”

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

Kahn has also honed in on more unconventional passions, including reform of the nation’s foster care system, which the candidate contends engages in “medical kidnapping,” or when children are removed from their parents on flimsy and unsubstantiated evidence and placed with foster parents.

Kahn acknowledged the issue is not as universal as other problems Americans are facing.

But it remains relatable, she said.

Anytime she speaks in front of a large group of people, someone will approach her afterwards: “I know what you’re talking about because that happened to me or my neighbor,” she recalled. “People don’t talk about it a lot because there’s a lot of threats and gag orders, but that’s an issue.”

Kahn continued: “It’s a really hard issue to talk about, but that’s what I think I’m doing — I am the voice of people who have been ignored or forgotten about by politicians in Washington, DC, and there’s a whole range

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

of issues, and that’s one of them.”

The candidate, who ran for president as an independent in 2016, is also eying a total reform of the Veterans Administration.

“I’m not looking to do casework,” Kahn said.

“Congresspeople have staff that do constituent services and take care of people. I really think there needs to be a voice for looking at how to change the entire department, which I think is overall pretty dysfunctional.”

Kahn also said she would tap into her vast network of sources for assistance.

People in the executive branch want to do the right thing, she said. Sure, they’re stuck in red tape, but a sense of idealism is why they became government servants.

“I do think the potential is there to make big change on the executive side,” Kahn said, “and I’m hoping there’s an opportunity on the legislative side to build a coalition and do real work.”

‘ZERO HOUR’

Kahn was born in New York City to parents who met at an orphanage. She used to visit the Adirondacks every summer as kid, and now lives in Schroon Lake in Essex County full-time.

“This is where I learned where clean water tastes like, and what fresh air tastes like,” Kahn said. “Some of my earliest memories are sitting on a dock with my dad fishing.”

Congress must prioritize funding for safeguarding municipal water and sewage systems, said Kahn, citing carcinogenic chemicals found in water supplies, including Hoosick Falls in the Capital Region.

Congress must also take immediate action on climate change, which Kahn says has a cascading effect, leading to more intense storms and a longer growing season for farmers — including those here in the North Country.

“We’re at zero hour for Mother Earth,” she said. “We really need to take action.”

‘IN PAIN’

As the country becomes increasingly entrenched into polarized corners, Kahn acknowledged a deterioration in civil discourse.

She traveled 80,000 miles around the U.S.

THESE CHURCH SERVICE LISTINGS ARE BROUGHT TO YOU BY...

during her 2016 bid for the White House as an independent candidate and said she saw a lot of anger and pain along the way over a system that voters felt was not working for them.

Kahn cycled through their concerns: gaps in healthcare coverage, veterans issues, environmental hazards and families “traumatized” by family law.

“I understood how angry everybody was and still is,” she said. “It’s just a lot of pain.”

As a third-party candidate, Kahn believes she is uniquely positioned to break through the partisan rancor in Washington and can navigate the landscape better than Democrats or Republicans by seeking out the more reasonable lawmakers in both parties with whom to craft legislation.

“I don’t think they can get past hating each other,” said Kahn. “I think that vitriol will be there until Congress dramatically changes.”

President Trump isn’t necessarily to blame for the broken system, she said, but is rather a symptom — not the cause.

“The agencies were broken, and I think Donald Trump represents the anger that people felt that they were not being heard,” she said.

Many voters told her they voted for Trump to throw a monkey wrench in the works.

“Maybe now they’ll listen,” she said.

But however ripe the national climate is for a third-party candidate, Kahn acknowledged institutional challenges remain in getting the word out — including getting companies like Facebook to formally recognize her page as an political organization.

Despite the hurdles, she believes her message appeals to both parties alike, including Republicans frustrated over government waste and Democrats who are deeply passionate about social justice, mass incarceration and criminal justice reform.

Kahn has a 29-year-old son.

“They’re really anxious about the environment, war, college debt and making their way in world,” she said. “I think I can find people on any side that will create a coalition for change.” ■

Guest column

A crisis is never scheduled, which is why United Way is so important

By James W. Monty GUEST COLUMNIST

Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties are great places to live and raise a family.

I have said this for years and continue to believe it. Part of what makes this area such a great place to live is the people who choose to live in this area, be it for a job or other reasons.

There is a great sense of community here and people genuinely care about each other.

This is my first year on the campaign team and am proud to say I was asked to co-chair the team for Essex County. It is with great humility and pride to offer my assistance to this worthy effort.

I have seen close up the various organizations that United Way supports, ACAP, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, JCEO, RSVP of Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, Literacy Volunteers, YMCA and the Senior Citizens Council to name a few.

Whether you know it or not, most all of us have been touched by one of the organizations that United Way supports; everyone at one time or another has needed a hand up just to survive.

Now I know that the economy on a national level is unsettled and even here we are feeling the effects of the slowdown.

However, as one person once told me, a crisis is never scheduled. No one schedules to be out of work or to get sick. A youth does not wait until times

The candidate has been endorsed by CSEA Local 1000, the Civil Service Employees Association, the Plattsburgh City Police Local 812; the Police Benevolent Association of the New York State Troopers and Council 82, the New York State Law Enforcement Officers Union.

He has also been endorsed by former Clinton County

are good to get involved in drugs or to need help with homework.

Our senior citizens would prefer not to need Meals on Wheels. At times like we are in now is when the services of a lot of the programs we support are needed most.

As we look to cut back on some things, I hope that United Way is not one of them. In fact, it is time to step up and increase your contribution or make that first one.

To fully fund our agency’s request, we need $725,000. This is money that stays in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties and goes to agencies benefi ting Clinton, Essex and Franklin county residents.

We need your contributions and we need you to encourage those around you to contribute as well.

Please help me in my march around the counties and support our community by supporting United Way. For more information, please contact Kathy Snow, at 518-563-0028; visit the United Way website at unitedwayadk.org or your contribution can be mailed to 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh, NY 12901.

If you have made your contribution, thank you! Rest assured your dollars will be wisely used to change lives right here in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. ■ — James Monty is the co-chair of the Essex County United Way Campaign Team and serves as supervisor for the Town of Lewis

Sheriff John “Jack” Lawliss.

“I think it’s very telling of my ability to get along with other agencies,” said Bell.

Bell believes if the only people voting on Nov. 6 were corrections officers and law enforcement officials, “I wouldn’t have bought one yard sign because I wouldn’t have needed to.”

“One hundred percent, I would win this election.” ■

Plattsburgh parking solutions still in crosshairs, council says More opportunities for public input on horizon

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | It’s been over nine months since a city-commissioned downtown parking study was completed, and more than two years since the City of Plattsburgh was awarded $10 million through the state Downtown Revitalization Initiative — nearly half of which is earmarked for redevelopment of the city’s largest source of parking, the Durkee Street lot.

The Plattsburgh Common Council wants residents to know that solving the Lake City’s parking problems remains in their sights.

“I felt the public needed to know what the

council’s long-range plan was in terms of parking,” said Councilor Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1).

“And that we’d accepted the study, and were receptive to the recommendations, and that the details of that plan are shaping up and we expect to go forward with them.”

Armstrong asked that a non-binding, symbolic resolution be put on the council’s docket to tip off the public to ongoing talks about the creation of a comprehensive parking system, and the council’s willingness to hear public input on potential solutions.

The lawmaker’s resolution was unanimously approved by the Common Council last week.

The resolution also determined that the council would continue to explore the creation of a Parking Advisory Committee tasked with overseeing improvements to the parking system and any changes to rates and enforcement policies and continue to explore “the

purchase of or improvements to real property to enhance the parking system.”

Lawmakers are also tasked with continuing to look at the implementation of a paid parking system and resolved that the council would continue to solicit public input.

PARKING SURVEY PROBED

The city commissioned a study of parking availability in the downtown core last year, the results of which were accepted by the council in February.

The study showed that even during peak hours, only 85 percent of the city’s parking in the downtown core is being utilized — but that 90 percent of visitors to the City of Plattsburgh use the Durkee Street lot.

Though there’s often 394 unused parking spaces on lower Bridge Street, according to the study, just over 1 percent of visitors in

Plattsburgh walk to their destination.

“You’ve got 300 spots down there, and depending on what you do — if you take out all 300, and you don’t put any back, you’re probably going to have a problem,” Jon Forster, a consultant with Carl Walker Parking Consultants that was tasked with studying the city’s parking, said last year of Durkee redevelopment.

“You’re going to make yourself a problem.”

The study recommended that the city explore a shared parking garage with Clinton County; that the city establish better signage pointing to public parking lots; that some or all of the 293 parking spaces eliminated as part of the Durkee Street redevelopment be replaced elsewhere through agreements with churches or other businesses; and that the city consider bringing back parking meters and fees. ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

PET HEALTH NAVIGATING AGING WITH SENIOR PETS

Spunky pups and curious kittens draw the attention of people eager to welcome new pets into their families. As pets begin to age, owners of senior animals may find that they struggle with their pets’ emergent needs in this stage of life.

Senior pets may experience dementia, mood changes, inactivity, pain, and incontinence. But thanks to improved veterinary care and dietary habits, pets can live longer than ever — and remain comfortable well into their senior years.

Cats and dogs are generally considered geriatric at the age of seven, offers the

American Veterinary Medical Foundation. Even so, many pets go on to live 12 to 15 years, which can be the equivalent of age 75 to 85 in humans. Geriatric pets are susceptible to the same conditions seen in older people, including cancer, diabetes, weakness, senility, joint or bone diseases, and heart disease.

It is essential to keep an open dialogue with a veterinarian to discuss any potential health issues

According to veterinary behaviorist Nicholas Dodman, coauthor of “Good Old Dog: Expert Advice for Keeping Your Aging Dog Healthy, Happy and Comfortable,” pet owners must realize that older pets are less able to thermoregulate, so they’re more sensitive to extreme temperature changes. Pets may need blankets or sweaters. They also may need to spend more time indoors when the weather is harsh.

Dietary changes may need to be made. Older pets may eat less, but they should be fed high-quality, nutritious foods that help keep their weight in check. Excess weight can put added stress on sensitive joints and may contribute to problems with diabetes.

» Stefanik Cont. from pg. 6 The lawmaker said she was also pleased Trump hammered out a new trade deal to replace NAFTA. “There was a lot of fear that we were going to come out of that with a bilateral U.S.Mexico agreement and Canada would not be included,” Stefanik said. “It was a big deal to get that done.”

But while the lawmaker supports standard GOP orthodoxy of deregulation, preserving Second Amendment rights and increased military spending, for instance, she’s not afraid to break with her party along other fault lines, including voting against last year’s GOP tax bill, working towards the aforementioned immigration fix and pushing back against the White House’s more isolationist foreign policy tendencies.

It’s that kind of independence and tailored “district-first” approach towards constituent services that Stefanik believes benefits New York’s 21st Congressional District.

And in this warpspeed era of a national media driven by Twitter, not every member of Congress is focused on that approach, said the lawmaker.

“I’m proud that I’ve stayed very focused like a laser on this district and being the best member of Congress I can,” Stefanik said.

“I work not for the administration, not for my colleagues in Congress — I work for the constituents of this district.”

Stefanik said she wanted to address campaign accusations that she’s inaccessible.

“It’s just not true,” she said, citing nearly 850 district visits and events since taking office in 2015. “I’m very proud of a strong bipartisan record of keeping my promise to my constituents of accessibly, of energy and of transparency getting around this district.”

On town halls: “I’ve done town halls,” Stefanik said. “I did the first town hall after the health care vote. I was the first member of Congress to do a town hall and it was televised.”

And while she said it’s largely glossed over in the media, her office is the first point of contact for federal agencies, including the VA, Social Security and FEMA. “I have a very strong record of doing A-plus casework,” she said, which includes helping to secure $2.7 million in VA benefits and $1.9 million in Social Security benefits.

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS

Stefanik is seeking re-election against strong tailwinds: The president’s party almost always loses seats during midterm elections.

Democrats need to flip 23 seats to take the House, and progressives incensed over policies issued by the Trump administration and GOP-led Congress are providing an additional accelerant this cycle.

Even outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan, who stumped for Stefanik last week at a Saratoga Springs fundraiser, acknowledged “tribal identity politics” is becoming the “new norm of how politics is waged” on both sides.

Stefanik, first elected in 2014, has served

www.suncommunitynews.com

all four years of her tenure under a GOPcontrolled House.

The lawmaker, who sits on the House Intelligence and Armed Services Committees, said anything is possible ahead of Nov. 6, citing the warpspeed news cycle.

But asked if she would change anything if Democrats took the House and Stefanik became a minority member, the lawmaker said she already had a good working relationship with Democrats. “(That’s) going to serve me well no matter what party controls Congress,” Stefanik said.

“I know that I thrive off building those relationships and being able to deliver results.”

The lawmaker cited a bill she co-sponsored with Brad Schneider, a Democrat from Illinois, that would require insurance providers to cover two primary care visits per year as an example of the ability to work across party lines.

“I try to seek out colleagues across the aisle when I introduce legislation and I think that will serve me well,” said Stefanik, who noted she has worked with both Presidents Obama and Trump. “I’ve worked in divided government before.”

Stefanik also worked with Rep. Peter Welch, Democrat of Vermont, to double funding to the Lake Champlain Basin Program, which she said nearly led to a fight on the House floor with Republicans.

“I literally got it done within an hour and held off the majority, the Republican members, from cutting that funding to make sure it was fully funded in the House and getting them to support it,” Stefanik said. “So those types of relationships matter in a very distinct way in terms of results for the district.”

And it’s those GOP colleagues who have taken a more incendiary approach to legislating that may have trouble in a Democraticcontrolled House, she said.

“I think I’m going to continue doing my job the way I am no matter who’s in the House,” Stefanik said. “But I think it is a wake-up call for some of my colleagues who have not built a bipartisan, independent brand in their districts and are not able to run on their own records. Those are the seats that I think we’re most likely to lose.”

Her campaign has placed over 350,000 calls to voters this cycle, and boasts “significant support” among Democrats, Republicans and independent voters.

“I know that there’s a lot of national horse race coverage. This is a swing district. When I first ran for Congress, this was viewed as a toss-up district,” Stefanik said. “It’s a district that voted for Obama and voted for President Trump, so people are independent voters and it’s our job as candidates to go out there and I think my policy solutions and record of results is important.”

BROKEN SYSTEM

Stefanik is also seeking re-election in a cycle characterized by historic levels of retirements by GOP lawmakers.

Charlie Dent, who left last year, citing personal reasons paired with what he contended was growing “marginalization” of the party’s governing wing.

Stefanik, who served with Dent on the group of moderate Republicans known as the Tuesday Group, noted “effective voices” like Rep. Trey Gowdy are also exiting Congress, citing partisan gridlock.

This exodus represents a broken system, Stefanik said.

“Republicans in Congress are going to be a lot of different in terms of what our conference looks like,” said Stefanik, who identified herself as a member of a centrist wing she characterized as the “governing majority.”

“I do think that’s an opportunity for newer voices to have louder influence in terms of helping the party navigate this rocky time.”

Stefanik, who pledged in 2014 to serve only five terms, pledged to serve out her full third term if re-elected on Nov. 6.

“That’s not a difficult pledge for me to take,” Stefanik said. “I’m running for reelection to serve another term in Congress, and that’s what I intend to do if I earn the support of voters.”

All members, she said, must ultimately make a choice in terms of how they want to conduct themselves and how to legislate.

“I think is the best way to change (the gridlock) is try to lead by example in terms of your policy solutions, in terms of your willingness to be bipartisan, and willingness to have relationships across the aisle and talk about that and take criticism from your own base,” Stefanik said.

To combat gridlock, Stefanik is among the lawmakers pushing for a “Break the Gridlock” package, which includes a rules change in how bills are brought to the floor, giving “fast-track priority consideration” to bipartisan bills.

The package would address groups like the conservative Freedom Caucus, which used current procedure to derail immigration and Farm Bill fixes earlier this year.

Stefanik acknowledged that current rules have “hijacked some of our political processes.”

“The Democrats are going to have the same issue among parts of their caucus,” she said.

“Break the Gridlock” would prioritize bipartisan amendments and guarantee a floor vote once a bill reaches a certain threshold of co-sponsors from both parties, automatically triggering a committee markup and being brought to the floor.

“Those are fundamental fixes to how Congress can be reformed as an institution,” Stefanik said.

THICK SKIN REQUIRED

Stefanik acknowledged voters are frustrated and society is becoming increasingly polarized.

Civil discourse has deteriorated — so much so that a shooting nearly killed Republican Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise at a baseball practice last summer, she noted — and discourse has been “siloed” to the extent that people are unwilling to have conservations with whom they disagree.

And the ever-accelerating news cycle has led to a climate that rewards going viral and garnering the largest number of retweets, for instance, over substantive discussion of the issues.

It’s a shift that largely bodes poorly for the nation and for crafting public policy, Stefanik said.

“That’s not the model I seek to be as a member of Congress in terms of being an effective legislator and getting things done for your district,” she said.

Stefanik concedes the political landscape has grown more negative.

“You have to have a thick skin,” she said.

“You have to have like an armor of thick skin being in elected office.”

A big difference between her first and second term, she said, is people are now coming up to her and commiserating over the negativity.

“We need to do better, and we need to ensure that our young generation understands that you can disagree and you can have those conversations,” said Stefanik.

But that’s not to say that people don’t have the right to voice their opinions, regardless of how strong.

“I just think you’re going to see more retirements. You won’t see as many members of Congress being there for as long of a time — which isn’t necessarily bad for the institution because I think churn is good,” Stefanik said. “But good members are choosing to leave.”

Trump sits at the center of the vortex and Stefanik notes she gets flack from constituents on either side.

“So much of the coverage is through the lens of President Trump,” she said. “And the reality is I ran on my own ideas; I ran on listening to constituents. When I agree with the president, I’m going to work with him and I have a record of doing that. And when I disagree, I will say so.”

Despite the toxicity, Stefanik stopped short of saying if the discourse is inflicting permanent damage on U.S. institutions.

Just look at the Civil and Vietnam wars, she said.

“Our country and the way our government was formed is made to withstand very challenging times,” Stefanik said.

“And I do think we will withstand these times. This country has been through a lot of very intense challenges.”

Stefanik recalled the hit musical “Hamilton,” which recounts the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton, who later was fatally wounded in a duel with Aaron Burr.

“This vitriol was around then, too,” Stefanik said. “I say that in jest, but I also say that it a serious manner and the fact that I believe that our country and our institutions are going to survive this very tumultuous period.”

She acknowledged duels been lawmakers likely aren’t in the pipeline.

“Twitter duels, maybe.” ■

» Welch Cont. from pg. 1

COUNSEL ARGUES FOR RELEASE

Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wiley objected to that request, and Hon. Keith Bruno ultimately ruled that the teen should remain in custody.

“My client was remanded without bail based on the charge and deemed a danger to the community,” Favro said in court last week. “There is nothing in my mind that leads me to believe Hunter is a danger to the community. In fact, just the opposite.”

Welch faces charges of second degree murder, a class A felony, after allegedly “intentionally causing the death” of 29-year-old Michael Zindler of West Chazy on Oct. 11.

He previously pleaded not guilty.

The teen appeared in court last week wearing a dark blue sweatshirt and sweatpants, his dark brown hair cropped just above his eyes, his bangs a deep purple ombre.

When he appeared from a door on the left side of the room, a woman in the audience audibly sobbed. Welch kept his head down and sat beside Favro.

Another hearing in Welch’s case has been scheduled for Nov. 14 before Hon. Timothy Lawliss.

Favro argued that his client wasn’t a flight risk, and said that with him being remanded to Albany, it made it difficult to communicate with his client.

“I’ve only been able to schedule one call over the last week,” he said. “I can’t help defend him unless I have reasonable and fast access to him, which I don’t.”

The stabbing happened at Welch’s mother’s home in Black Brook, according to Wiley.

In considering Favro’s request, Judge Bruno asked for clarification on that point, and Wiley confirmed that if released the teen would return to the scene of the alleged crime.

“I feel that (Welch) should remain remanded not only for the safety of the community, but for the safety of the juvenile offender,” Wiley said in court last week.

Wiley attempted to paint the teen’s home life as unstructured and unsafe.

“The mother has failed to provide proper education for the child, and has failed to supervise the child,” Wiley argued.

Welch’s mother, Tammy, appeared visibly upset outside the courtroom last week, and declined to speak with The Sun. Asked by a reporter how she was doing, Welch declined

alone I’m never

DETAILS UNDER INVESTIGATION

NBC5 reported last week that the victim, Michael Zinder, had been dating Welch’s older sister.

Welch’s sister, Savannah, alleges that Zindler hit her.

She told NBC5 that the teen had told Zindler to stop hitting her, and when Zindler threatened him, and that’s when the teen grabbed a knife.

Zindler served nearly two years in prison on a felony charge of aggravated criminal contempt, according to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise. “(Hunter) did not intend to inflict death on this man,” Welch’s mother told NBC5’s Stephanie Gorin, in a plea to get the case bumped into Family Court. “That was not

Hunter’s intention whatsoever. Hunter was protecting himself and his sister.”

New York State Police continue to investigate the stabbing. An autopsy deemed Zindler’s cause of death a homicide.

Wiley said that in the days prior to the alleged stabbing, Welch had been absent from school, and he had been hospitalized twice while in his mother’s care, though he did not elaborate on the nature of the hospitalizations.

Welch’s family told NBC5 that the teen had been home from school with a stomachache on the day of the alleged stabbing.

VICTIM ‘WILL BE MISSED’

After news of Zindler’s death spread, an outpouring of support came from friends, family and co-workers.

Zindler was also known as a passionate Green Bay Packers fan and an avid outdoorsman — he loved hiking and riding his dirt bike.

“He will be missed for his humor and known to always have fun,” his obituary reads.

“His greatest enjoyment was spending time with his niece, Hailey AnnMarie Zindler.

He was always willing to help his friends and family, especially with electronics.” ■ Contact Shannon Christian at (518) 873-6368 ext. 201 or email shannonc@ suncommunitynews.com to place a listing.

Cidery owner Alan Demoy showcases an antique corking machine on display at the Cidrerie du Minot.

The hope is that soon, those trails will not only cross county lines, but cross borders.

According to David Gillespie, Canadian founder of CANAMEX, the new Adirondack Cuisine Trails will eventually connect with the existing Circuit du Paysan in Quebec, a trail over two decades old, and with newly-built cuisine trails in Vermont, to create a foodie’s guide to the border region.

“This is a project we’re calling CANAMEX, which stands for Canadian-American Exchange, with three objectives; namely agri-tourism, innovation and community outreach,” Gillespie said.

A group of representatives from local chambers of commerce, economic development agencies, farms and colleges kicked the tires on the new collaboration with a test-drive last week.

and three and four, gazing at the black spiral staircase in the corner of the tasting room, ooh-ing at the neat lines of bottles behind the bar, ahh-ing at a rack of cocktail recipes by the door.

The cidery, opened by Demoy’s father Robert, is celebrating its 30 year anniversary this year.

“This is one of the oldest cideries in Quebec,” Demoy said.

The operation has 14,000 apple trees on-site that grow a small range of fruit used specifically for cider. The goods are picked when the time is right, and the fruit is processed, all in the same building.

Every year, over 600,000 bottles come out of the facility, he said.

Demoy showed the Americans around, apologizing profusely in a French accent for his English skills. He shuttled them down the stairs and into the press room, into a room where rows of tanks hold cider as it ages, and back into the tasting room where he and his staff poured glass after glass of sweet-smelling hard cider.

And when the group descended onto the bar to purchase bottles of their own, neat lines appearing by the register, he smiled graciously. ■ — This is part one of a multi-part series on the in-the-works CANAMEX agri-tourism tour.

For the New York delegation, the journey into Canada began at a Clinton County staple: Chazy Orchards.

This operation was incorporated back in 1935 — an ad-hoc orchard planted so there would be something to transport to New York City on the newly-built railroad through town, according to general manager Jay Toohill.

The group milled around the orchard’s storefront, some hungrily eying baked goods in a glass showcase as a heavy, sweet scent wafted from the open bakery, others peering through refrigerators filled with cheese from Fort Covington, some pointing out a display of Parker’s maple syrup, another Chazy business.

These days the orchard is run by the Giroux family, and it’s growing at a rapid pace.

There are more than a dozen types of apples grown here across nearly 800 acres, and over a year ago, a new packing plant was built to accommodate the orchard’s growing demand.

With the new facility, the orchard is able to process 300 bins of apples a day, up from 100 bins with their old system.

“It was like going from a Pinto to a Cadillac,” Toohill said.

Inside, sleek machinery moves apples from one end of the expansive warehouse to another, quickly but gently washing the fruit, spraying the exterior with a thin mist of foodgrade wax, and running the light red-and-green delicacies past workers along an assembly line, who each in turn check the apples for quality and pack them away into boxes to be stored or shipped elsewhere.

Just over 20 minutes away, a cold wind had settled into Hemmingford, Quebec, and Alan Demoy, the second-generation co-owner of the Cidrerie du Minot, was readying his family’s cidery for the arrival of the American faction.

In the tasting room, glasses emblazoned with their logo lay overturned, in wait. Downstairs, a press was churning through apples, smashing the fruit into tiny chunks and extracting every last bit of succulent juice. A hose snaked from the room across a red-and-gray speckled concrete floor and past a series of steel tanks.

At just past 10:30 a.m., the Americans arrived in pairs of two

» Agri-tourism Cont. from pg. 3 “These new Cuisine Trails highlight some of the best food and beverage producers and providers in New York,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. “They will help connect Upstate farms and businesses with visitors and local markets, boosting the North Country’s economy and supporting growing trends in agri-tourism.”

There are 38 cuisine and beverage trails in the state of New York, and between 201819, the state Department of Agriculture and Markets earmarked $2.2 million for the Taste NY program, an initiative launched in 2013 to promote New York’s food industry.

Tourism is now the state’s third-largest employer, supporting 938,800 jobs annually, according to the governor’s office.

Last year, New York saw 243.8 million visitors — 12.4 million of those to the Adirondack region — who spent $67.6 billion, generating a total economic impact of more than $100 billion.

Reports show that 93 percent of travelers worldwide have “sought out and found notable food and beverage experiences while traveling,” the release reads.

New York state Agriculture and Markets Commissioner Richard A. Ball said that the trails, which span three counties and encompass some 86 farms, food producers, sugarmakers, orchards, distilleries and vintners, will draw interest from people who not only want to see and experience the Adirondacks, but also taste local foods, brews and flavors.

“Th is network of new Cuisine Trails ties together the Adirondack Lakes region, Lake Champlain, the Adirondack Mountains, as well as urban and rural businesses, to promote agri-tourism in the entire region,” he said in a statement.

“The addition of the six cuisine trails marks the start of a great economic opportunity for businesses, tourists and the residents of our region,” said state Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) in a statement. “This initiative will connect food and beverage businesses with our North Country farms, creating a great experience for every customer.

“By promoting the agri-tourism market through the Taste NY program, New York state will welcome even more visitors from around the world; leading to immeasurable growth in the North Country economy.”

According to a 2016 tourism impact report,

Lake Clear Lodge owner and Adirondack Cuisine Trail Association member Ernest Hohmeyer speaks to a packed ballroom of Canadian officials and American visitors about the importance of highlighting the work of small farms.

Photo by Elizabeth Izzo travelers to New York spent nearly $65 billion in this state that year. Seventy percent of that spending was from other Americans, and 30 percent from international visitors, according to the report.

Canadian tourism made up only 2 percent of that international market.

FOCUS ON FARMERS

According to the USDA, there are 35,500 farms in the state of New York.

“Some of these businesses survive sale by sale,” said Ernest Hohmeyer, a member of the Adirondack Cuisine Trail Association, about local farms featured on six new cuisine trails in the North Country. “And we have more in common with Canada and Vermont than we do with New York City.

“Food has no borders, and we have an opportunity to make this cuisine trail great.” ■ — This is part two of a multi-part series on the in-the-works CANAMEX agri-tourism tour.

Sectional finals take shape in soccer

C champion Northern Adirondack in the quarterfinals before a 1-0 win over Division II champion Lake Placid in the semifinals.

The Vikings scored a 4-1 win over Seton Catholic to advance to the sectional finals.

The Class C boys game, which will be played at 7 p.m. on Oct. 25 in Saranac, will have Seton Catholic playing Saranac Lake as both teams advanced in semifinal games Oct. 22.

Seton Catholic advanced with a shootout victory over defending Class C champion Lake Placid, as John Glover connected in the sixth round of kicks to give the Knights a win after the two teams finished regulation and overtime level at 1-1.

“That was the most stressful thing that I have ever been through,” said Glover. “My team just told me to be confident and go where I usually go and that is where I put it. We need to work on finishing as team and getting more goals as we get ready for the finals.”

“We came and did what we needed to do,” said head coach Charlie Gay. “We played the game we wanted to play. We possessed the ball 80 percent of the game. We just got unlucky to finish. We had plenty of opportunities. We just have to make sure we don’t get complacent and let up in the finals.”

Saranac Lake made the Class C finals as Owen Yando connected with his head off a Colter Cheney-Seymour corner kick to give the Red Storm a 1-0 lead and win over Northern Adirondack.

Here are just a few of the galleries from these events you can find online at mycapture.suncommunitynews.com.

The Class B sectional finals will be played at George Brendler Field in Chazy Friday, Oct. 26, with the Beekmantown Lady Eagles and Saranac Lady Chiefs playing at 5 p.m. followed by the Peru Indians and Saranac boys team at 7 p.m.

In the girls semifinals, the Lady Eagles scored a 1-0 win over Northeastern Clinton on a goal from Rylee Fesette.

“We want to continue to play our game and stick together as a team,” said Fesette on getting ready for the finals.

“We have worked really hard to get this far and we want to keep our heads and focus every day at practice,” said Avery Durgan.

“They had a lot of motivation after losing in the semifinals last season,” said Eagles coach Peter Bursik. “We will watch film, condition early in the week and then work on the things we see on film to get ready for Friday.”

Saranac scored a 3-1 win over Plattsburgh High, as eighth grader Olivia Davis scored her first three career varsity goals in her first career varsity game in the semifinals.

“It was a great experience playing with all of these girls,” said Davis. “I thought I may get in once to have a chance to learn, but I got out there and scored three goals. It was amazing.”

“It was awesome, I was so excited for her,” said defender Kayla Myers.

“I knew we had a talented group in eighth grade, and I suspected Olivia could do something for us, but this makes me question whether I should have brought her up earlier,” said coach

The Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport Lady Griffins and Chazy Lady Eagles will play for the Class D title Saturday at noon at Plattsburgh High School after both teams scored wins in semifinal play Oct. 22.

The Eagles scored a 2-0 win over Keene, as Willow Herz scored in the fi rst half and Olivia McLennan added an insurance marker in the second.

“Being my senior year, every game could be my last so I want to work as hard as I can,” said Kendra Becker. “We played as a team tonight and played together.”

“I really like the middle of the field and enjoy working with my teammates to see what we can make happen,” said twin sister Kyra Becker. “We are looking forward to getting back into the sectional finals.”

“We moved the ball well and made some good runs against Keene,” said coach Samantha Signor. “The girls really focused in the past week and came out prepared. We need to work on our finishing and learn how to take advantage of corner and free kicks a little more.”

The boys final, which will be played at 2 p.m. on Oct. 27, will pit the semifinal winners of games set to be played Oct. 23, as Willsboro will face Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport, and Schroon Lake will face Chazy. ■

Mary LoTemplio. “It comes down to who is going to have the confidence and which team is going to play their game the best in the finals.”

The Peru boys team scored a penalty shootout win over Beekmantown in the semifinal round, as Noah Lederman scored in regulation for Peru and Kaden Kowalowski scored for Beekmantown.

“I was scared at fi rst,” said Peru goalie Michael McBride, who made the final save for the win. “My coach told me that you got this. You have been doing this all week. Just do what you know what to do.”

“I’ve been working really closely with Mike all year and the JV (junior varsity) goalies, and Mike has been doing a tremendous job from the first day until now,” said assistant coach Chris Burdash.

“I’m expecting our game will be a little crisper and more energy and a little more ability to finish,” said coach Matt Armstrong about preparing for the finals. “We had a lot of opportunities to finish (in the semifinals) and you have to create better bounces for yourself and finish.”

Saranac got a pair of goals from Cameron Duffield as the Chiefs advanced to the finals with a 2-1 win over Plattsburgh High.

“I thought we played well together as a team,” said coach Calvin Hamel. “We knew if we stood together and played the way we could, we would be capable of winning and had a really good chance. We had some really great battles against Peru this year. They have some really good players and a really good coach. We have a week to prepare for them and look forward to the match-up.”

Indians go to ground game in Class B semifinal win

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Having the Section VII all-time passing leader under center would lead opponents to feat the pass.

For Peru on Oct. 19, however, it was 55 rushing attempts for 240 yards that led the Indians to an 8-7 win over Plattsburgh High in the Class B semifinal round.

Two plays, usually not part of the Peru gameplan, became the difference.

In the opening quarter, Austin Carpenter lined up at the quarterback position and scored on a three-yard touchdown run as the Indians used a read-option play with their speedy receiver to open scoring.

“It was something my friend Eric Bennett used against us last week up in Saranac Lake, So I kind of stole the play from them and Austin ran it well,” said coach Ryon O’Connell.

“When you are a passing team and you change your playbook in four days you have to give the kids all the props because they focused in all the practices,” O’Connell added. “Alex Palmer (155 yards) ran the ball hard and Dalton Criss (22) had a big run for us.”

“Coach put me back there and we ran the option all week in practice and it paid off with the touchdown,” said Carpenter, who finished with 53 rushing yards. ”I was to go at the defensive end and if there was a guy there, I was to pitch it and if not, go for it.”

After the score, Peru lined up for the extra point try with Carpenter kicking and Ryley O’Connell holding. However, O’Connell pitched the ball to Carpenter, who then scored a two-point conversion which provided the pivotal point in the game, giving the Indians an 8-0 lead.

“Coach (Mark) Burrell designed that and we worked on it 10-15 times this week,” O’Connell said. “Mark works great with the special teams. He kept telling me it was going to

“Coach Burrell told me when we were watching film that we had a fake and I was really excited,” Carpenter said, adding the original play was supposed to look like a fake made famous by LSU. “It was supposed to be behind (Ryley’s) shoulder but today we switched it,” he said.

O’Connell finished throwing for 123 yards, while Hornet quarterback Ian Detulleo threw for 98 yards and a touchdown, finding Zach Bieber on a 61-yard scoring play in the second quarter.

Andrew Swiesz had 44 yards rushing for the Hornets,

who only totaled 50 yards on the ground for the game.

The Indians will next face CVAC regular season champion and top seed Beekmantown for the Class B championship Saturday, Oct. 27, 3:30 p.m. at AuSable Valley Middle/High School.

“We had to work through the challenges and worked hard to get here,” Carpenter said. “Beekmantown is a good team and we are looking forward to playing them again in the finals.”

“I know that coach Lozier and his staff will be prepared for this game and so will their kids,” O’Connell said. “I expect a great game.” ■

» Sectionals Cont. from pg. 19 “Our team has worked really hard,” said Beekmantown coach Jennifer Mousseau. “We definitely have some new skills and a lot of strength going in (to sectionals). I think it will be a really good competition between all three teams.

I’m excited to see how the state team shapes up.”

“They have been working hard all season and I’m really excited about their progress,” said Peru coach Sheree Trudeau.

Sarnow finished the regular season with two all-around wins, having scored a win in the team’s meet against Plattsburgh High earlier in the week. Sarnow won the vault and floor events, while Manor again won on the beam and Dakota Tender of PHS won the bars, placing second in the all-around.

“We will have to stay on the beam in order to be successful at this meet without all around state qualifier from last season, Morgan Hughes, we have struggled to be competitive,” said PHS coach Janice Trudeau.
