TUPPER LAKE Ñ Those directly and indirectly connected to Adirondack Club and Resort lawsuit expect the case to be resolved soon. Peter Bauer is executive director of Protect the Adirondacks!, an environmental group that, alongside the Sierra Club and three local homeowners, sued the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) and the developers of the Adirondack Club and Resort after the APA approved the project in January 2012. Bauer expects a decision from Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court anytime from mid-June to mid-August. Ò We contend that the Adirondack Park Agency violated the APA Act and numerous regulations and rules,Ó Bauer said. Ò We feel that this project will set a precedent for how many other areas classified as resource management in the Adirondacks could be developed.Ó Bauer said that most of what the applicant proposed was not objectionable to his organization. Protect the Adirondacks! was primarily concerned with the fragmentation of resource management lands. Ò Resource management lands are the buffer areas between forest preserve and settled areas of the park,Ó Bauer said, adding that fragmentation would negatively impact wildlife and create pathways for invasive species among other things. Tupper Lake Mayor Paul Maroun supports the development of the Adirondack Club and Resort. “I’m fairly confident from a legal aspect that the appellate division will rule in favor of the state,Ó Maroun said.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ American Crossroads, the political action committee co-founded by Karl Rove, a senior official in the George W. Bush Administration, has dipped a toe into the race for New YorkÕ s 21st District. In doing so, the organization has made history. It marks the first time the powerful group (it spent $300 million during the 2012 election cycle) has entered the fray in a Republican primary, indicating, at the very least, judging by the content of their television ad that began airing on Tuesday in the Albany, Watertown and Plattsburgh media markets, that they are not supporters of GOP hopeful Matt Doheny. American Crossroads, which is called a Ò super PACÓ because of its ability to raise an unlimited amount of money from individuals from anywhere in the country, sunk $242,000 into a halfminute spot that features ominous, horror movie-type music as it attacks Doheny on several issues, including his past races for the seat, lawsuits and allegations that the candidate, an investment banker from Watertown, violated labor laws. Ò It would be a big mistake to send him to Congress,Ó it concludes before identifying American Crossroads as the organization responsible for the advertisement. Aside from Doheny, no other candidates or their campaigns were mentioned. The Doheny campaign was outraged: Ò IÕ m deeply troubled by the mean, personal and, in part, untruthful attacks launched on me by Elise StefanikÕ s out of town supporters,Ó said Doheny in a written statement on Tuesday. Ò Partisan politics is tough enough, but even more troubling to me is the precedent set today that wealthy Republican donors and a reported Ô fundraising terroristÕ from outside our district have decided that they will choose who the next representative will be from the North Country.Ó Doheny is referring to Paul Singer, a billionaire hedge fund manager whose committee, Winning Women, kicked in 41 percent of the campaign contributions reported by Elise Stefanik, Doheny’s opponent in the Republican primary, in the first quarter of 2014. That sum was $110,917, according to campaign filings. The committee also contributed to several other female Republican congressional candidates in Arizona and Virginia. The Stefanik campaign is not affiliated with American Crossroads and Singer’s relationship to the candidate is confined to that of donor. A spokesperson for the Stefanik campaign denied involvement in a written statement to the Valley News on Wednesday afternoon: Ò Elise has run an issues focused, positive, grassroots campaign from day one, and will continue to do so. She has stayed positive in all her campaign messaging, unlike her opponent, and her message is resonating with voters all across the North Country,Ó said Charlotte Guyett, campaign press secretary. Ò If Mr. Doheny doesnÕ t like the issues raised by a group that used to support him, he should complain tothem, not to us. They obviously believe Elise is the strongest candidate to win this seat with new ideas and a fresh direction.Ó American Crossroads President and CEO Steven Law also issued a statement: Ò Local Republicans are uniting behind Elise Stefanik as the kind of exciting, conservative leader who can win and hold this seat,Ó he said. Ò Elise will be a champion for lower taxes, smaller government and dismantling Obamacare.Ó In Q1, Stefanik reported a fundraising haul of $268,000. The number of donations at or below $250 was 310. Ô I CANÕ T BE BOUGHTÕ In his statement, Doheny stressed his connection to the region and the voters. Ò Whether you support me or not, everyone knows I canÕ t be bought,Ó he said. Ò People of the 21st Congressional District know me. IÕ m a mainstream Republican, a proven vote getter who has been vetted by Republicans, Democrats and news organizations throughout the district. Nothing in the ad is new, or news. The fact is as a true son of the North Country, I have the experience, knowledge and resources to win. Most importantly, polling shows our campaign with a commanding twenty point lead over Democrat Aaron
Woolf, leaving only one question: Ò Elise Stefanik, what is the deal? Who are the donors that are behind your campaign and what have you promised them that is so important that Crossroads would cross a line they have never crossed before?Ó CANÕ T COORDINATE Legally, super PACs are forbidden from coordinating with campaigns, said Chris Faricy, an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the Maxwell School of Public Affairs at Syracuse University, in an interview with the Valley News. Ò The donor lists are not public, so thereÕ s truth to that,Ó he said. Ò But the campaigns have ideas who these people are. The parties pass around a list. You have access to their lists. Technically, you donÕ t know the names, but honestly, a campaign manager who doesnÕ t know the names of people who traditionally support you should be fired.” Faricy, who oversaw community outreach for David Fink, a 2002 congressional candidate in Michigan’s 9th District, said Citizens United, the 2010 Supreme Court decision that held that the government cannot restrict political independent expenditures by corporations, associations or labor unions, Ò blew the ceiling offÓ of groups like American Crossroads, allowing them to pour outside money into political races. The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision gave the green light for corporations and labor unions to spend as much as they want to convince people to vote for or against a candidate. While it is still illegal for corporations and unions to give money directly to candidates for federal office, Citizens United allowed those entities to spend as much as they want to convince people to vote for or against a political candidate. ItÕ s a subtle distinction but an important one. “These folks they try to influence races all over the country,” said Faricy. Ò There are only so many moderate districts left. As parties have gotten more money, they’re not spending on 435 races Ñ theyÕ re spending on 15.Ó Democrats need 17 seats to retake the House of Representatives this November and the 21st district, which covers 16,000 square miles across parts of 12 counties, is trending increasingly purple. Incumbent Bill Owens, a Democrat, won the seat by one percentage point in 2012. In an interview with the Capitol PressroomÕ s Susan Arbetter on Tuesday, Stefanik said the district has been a challenge for Republicans since the decisive special election in 2009 after President Obama appointed John McHugh to serve as the Secretary of the Army. Ò I think weÕ re looking for someone who can win this district,Ó Stefanik said. Ò IÕ m focused on running my campaign and spreading my message.Ó This election cycle, Doheny has the Independence endorsement and Stefanik, the Conservative Party. Both have indicated they will stay in the race if they do not win the Republican primary on June 24. Ô FOCUSED ON THE ISSUESÕ “This is the very reason why I feel the need to run for office Ñ itÕ s a travesty,Ó Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello told the Valley News when asked about American Crossroads. Ò They will spend literally millions of dollars. Advertising is what a modern campaign is all about.Ó Funciello said he hopes the voters will disregard the outside spending and focus on the issues, which, he said, are the only barometer to judge the candidates as a result of their lack of elected experience Ñ including himself. Ò WhatÕ s in it for them?Ó he asked, referring to outside donors. Ò We need the answer. This is where principles come in.Ó Reached by phone, Stuart Rosenberg, the campaign manager for Democratic candidate Aaron Woolf, said the candidate was focused on his jobs tour in Lewis County. Ò WeÕ re just making sure Medicare and Social Security remain intact and our seniors can retire with peace and security,Ó said Rosenberg. Ò Our campaign is open and available to anyone in the public who would like to share their ideas. Aaron Woolf is available and accessible. We just think this campaign should be about the issues and thatÕ s what this is all about.Ó Registered Republicans will head to the polls on June 24 for the primary. Stefanik, Doheny and Funiciello will meet in Hague at a candidateÕ s night on Wednesday, June 11. On Thursday, June 12, Doheny and Stefanik will meet for a debate, their second, in Watertown.

County Sheriff announces re-election bid By Pete DeMola
derline criminal activity. Board Chairman Randy Douglas voted in favor of the resolution, but only because a news report on Isla Vista shooter Eliot O. Rodgers swayed his decision. Ò If we can prevent another situation like this, I will support it,Ó he said. Before the boardÕ s dismissal, Scozzafava asked for a vote recount and was met with withering sarcasm by several of his colleagues. “God forbid I ask a question,” he said.
pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting formally announced his candidacy for re-election June 3 at a press conference at the Government Center. Cutting, who has been with the department for 37 years, ticked off a list of highlights accrued during his nearly four-year tenure as Sheriff, including fiscal responsibility, bringing in a half-million in federal grants, working with the Department of Defense in acquiring military equipment in times of public disaster Ñ including a Humvee Ñ and renting out available space in the county jail to agencies with excess numbers of inmates, bringing in almost $4.7 million in revenue in the process. The incumbent also highlighted public safety features, including the Mobile Patrol smartphone app that gives users access to booking files and the ability to register for alerts when an inmate is released, as some of his crowning achievements accomplished during his tenure. A second smartphone app, Offender Watch, is in the final stages of development, he said. The app will give subscribers the ability to set alerts around geographic parameters. They will be pinged when registered sex offenders move in or out of the boundaries. Cutting, who joins Essex County Treasurer Michael Diskin on the Republican Party ticket, has been endorsed by the countyÕ s GOP committee and is currently circulating petitions. As of press time, he is running unopposed. Opponents have until July 11 to turn their signatures to the board of elections. Ò I have maintained an open door policy to stay in contact with you and look forward to the opportunity to add four more years,Ó Cutting said. COPS CuttingÕ s re-election bid follows a pair of sessions with the board of supervisors in which he found himself on the hot seat over his request for lawmaker approval to apply for a federal COPS grant that would put resource officers back into Essex County schools for the first time in a over a decade. The Sheriff’s resolution to apply for the grant squeaked by the board June 3 with five weighted votes in a roll call that elicited audible gasps within the chamber after the final tally. 1463 yes, 1458 no. It was the closest vote in living memory, said several lawmakers and members of the media. Ò IÕ ve been doing this for 25 years and have never seen a vote this close,Ó said Lohr McKinstry, a reporter for the Press-Republican. The federal program would pay 75 percent of salaries and benefits for four new officers. The county, which last experimented with the program from 1999-2003, would pick up the remaining 25 percent to the tune of $72,000 per year. For the fourth year, they’d be required to kick in the full amount.

After the previous program expired, then-Sheriff Henry Hommes transferred the recruits over to the department instead of kicking them loose, a decision that has left lawmakers feeling raw. Ò While I philosophically agree with the concept, I canÕ t vote in favor because of the cost,Ó said Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew. Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said the program didnÕ t work and criticized the addition of four new staffers with a $18,000 county share per year, something he said would burden a county that is already strapped for cash, even after they dumped their nursing home earlier this year. Ò Just Google the program,Ó he said. Ò The bottom line is that it is just not affordable for the county at this time.Ó Studies undertaken to measure the programÕ s effectiveness indicate the COPS programÕ s success is contingent on a number of variables and is only as good as the agencies that are implementing it. Smaller police agencies tended to be more satisfied with the program found a US Justice Department report and thrived under progressive, innovation-minded administrators. Implementation in larger, urban departments tended to be problematic, mainly due to bureaucratic obstacles. Cutting said the resource officers would not be kept on the county payroll after their time was up. Schools or the board would decide on the next step. None of the departmentÕ s 13 existing deputies can be repurposed for the positions. “It’s really good for the kids to see a uniformed officer as their friend,Ó he said. Ò Just spending time with them, throwing the ball around.Ó He called civic response to the last time the program was implemented Ò tremendousÓ and said it didn’t take the officers long to identify and curb bor-

The VA: Dysfunction at its best
T
he VeteranÕ s Administration is again under fire, and rightly so, but their incompetence, which borders at many times on criminal malfeasance, goes much more deeply than wherever their current flash point issue happens to be. The most recent issue surrounding the VA, which has caused their secretary to step down amidst the turmoil, revolves around VA hospitals falsifying records to show that veterans were seen within a certain amount of time, when in fact they hadnÕ t been seen within that time frame. Some veterans, it has been shown, have died while waiting to be seen. While the spectre of falsifying records is a new twist in the VAÕ s record of bureaucratic incompetence, their overall way of doing business is still just as bad. The VA has fairly simple marching orders: provide medical care and treatment for veterans once they leave the service. But the VA is a monolithic behemoth, which is nearly impossible for a individual soldier to make their way through on his or her own. Getting a foot in the door initially when a soldier leaves the service is the first stumbling point, but it shouldnÕ t be. A soldier might serve in the military for 20 years or longer. During this time, their every move is documented; every deployment, every injury, every location theyÕ ve ever lived is recorded by the Department of Defense. So when they leave the service and apply to the VA that information is digitally transferred from the DOD to the VA, right? Wrong. The soldier has to apply to the VA, provide their own documentation for things like known injuries or medical conditions, then wait for the VA to review their records and accept them into the system. Why? It’s understood that a soldier who qualifies will be applying to the VA when they leave the service. Why canÕ t their records automatically follow them to the VA? According to Washington officials, it’s just not technologically possible to do. The government has invested millions of dollars trying to figure out a way to employ some fairly simple 1990s technology to track these records, but were apparently not able to figure that one out. So a soldier applies, and finally, eventually makes their way into the VA medical system most likely after months of waiting. When youÕ re accepted into the VA system you can go to any facility nationwide, wherever you happen to be, right? Wrong again. Consider a veteran in our area, who winters in the south. That veteran has to pick which VA facility they want to receive their
treatment in, north or south. Is this the case in the civilian system? Do you have to pick which hospital you will receive your care in? Of course not. If you typically receive treatment in Plattsburgh but are on vacation, a couple keystrokes at the hospital will bring up all your medical records and insurance information while you sit there. Why canÕ t the VA figure this technology out? Now what if the soldier is one of the thousands who came back from one of our decade long wars disabled in some way? Their medical and service records transfer directly to the branch of the VA that handles disabilities, right? Nope, wrong again. Why? Again, it appears that the government can’t figure out the technology to make this simple transfer of records possible. Ditto for the branches that handles veteransÕ educational benefits, and cemetery benefits. You start back from scratch each time you come to a new command; prove who you are, where you served, prove that you qualify for these benefits. These should have all been locked in the day that veteran left the service. Now think about this...what is the government actually capable of when it comes to tracking records? Currently the NSA is able to track every phone call made, apparently anywhere in the world. They can read and store every email sent, and are even in the process of combing the internet with their facial recognition software, for reasons they are quite reluctant to discuss. So is the VA unable to transfer veteransÕ records because the technology doesnÕ t exist, or does the will to spend the money required to bring their Jurassic system into the twenty-first century simply not exist in Washington? Maybe instead of reading the emails of millions of law-abiding Americans or European allies, the NSA could and should be sharing their technology with the VA in order to build a system where veterans arenÕ t dying while waiting for their records to be processed; where snow-bird veterans arenÕ t forced to choose which VA facility will treat them, or prove a disability when they leave the service missing a limb or an eye. Our government simply doesnÕ t care enough about our veterans to pay to put in place technological systems that clearly have existed for years, if not decades. Perhaps the criminal malfeasance in Washington shouldnÕ t be placed just at the feet of the VA any more, but should fall to those of the President, Senate and Congress as well. ÑD

Letters to the Editor
Interesting editorial To the Editor: As a school board president, it was most interesting to read your editorial regarding the affordability of school resource officers. Concern for student safety in this day and age has given rise to an impassioned dialogue, with lots of folks rightly pointing out that it’s a priceless commodity these officers would be protecting. Lots of others are all too eager to vote down hefty school tax increases. But the need to react to current events is inescapable. Many new safety measures have already been put in place in most districts. At Indian Lake, weÕ ve installed video surveillance and forced people to be buzzed through doors that previously
had remained unlocked. Troopers and deputies patrol the building from time to time. Would any of these measures stop a committed assailant? Certainly not. TheyÕ d come back later if they saw a cop car parked out front. There are dozens of eye-level windows in our building. There are 11 separate entry doors. The playgrounds and ball fields are open top the woods. Would a full time “resource officer” solve the potential problem? I think not. Since these attacks are extraordinarily rare (although increasing), this officer would presumably have nothing to do day after day, month after month. Individuals in that type of situation canÕ t be expected to maintain a high degree of alertness indefinitely. I have proposed, on a couple of occasions over the years, that
we send one or more willing individuals from our building for law enforcement training sufficient to qualify them to become deputized and keep a firearm on the premises. This could be the Principal, a teacher, a custodian or a cafeteria worker. Any of them would already be at work in the building, doing a job, active and awake. Then we would no longer be the sort of defenseless gun-free zone that has attracted nearly every one of these atrocities. Help would no longer be a phone call and up to a 45 minute drive away. I was surprised that not a single person expressed support for my proposal here at Indian Lake. Perhaps in Essex County you can do better. Jon Voorhees Indian Lake

Birding festival slated
ADIRONDACKS Ñ The 10th Annual Boreal Birding Festival will feature 15 outdoor events led by 10 birding experts throughout the Adirondack Park, namely Hamilton County, from June 13-15. The Festival is an opportunity for birding enthusiasts to observe boreal birds unique to the Adirondacks that are rarely seen anywhere else in New York State. In addition to the sought-after BicknellÕ s Thrush, Black-backed woodpecker, Gray Jay and Boreal Chickadee, the Adirondacks are home to over 30 species of warblers, numerous hawks, owls and eagles, many of which will be heard or seen during the festival. This yearÕ s festival will feature two new trips. On Saturday, June 14, John and Pat Thaxton will lead a hike on the “Roosevelt Truck TrailÓ in the town of Newcomb, which is one of the few places to observe the Cape May Warbler and other boreal species. On Sunday, Michael and Wanda Moccio will forge an exploratory walk into the southern Hudson-Indian River tract in Indian Lake, part of the newly acquired land formerly owned by Finch Puryn & Co. This area, which was leased by the Gooley Club for many years, includes the Hudson and Cedar River and the surrounding parcels, and is now open to the public. All events and activities are free, but registration is necessary. To register, call (800) 648-5239 or (518) 548-3076 Monday- Friday, between 9 am and 4 pm.

After all, 962-8360. it wasn’t until 1966 that Father’s Day was officially determined to be a national holiday. By Scot Hurlburt FatherÕ s Day came about from the efforts of a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd who wanted to honor her father as an exemplary parent. Her father was widowed and left with five children to take care of alone. It is remarkable that FatherÕ s Day is named after a man who was a single parent and was able to raise his family quite well in a time when men were thought to know little about raising children. Fathers are, of course, very important to their children and an impressive body of research has documented this truth. Children without a father figure in their lives are at much greater risk within a variety of risk behavior domains including school failure, drug abuse and encounters with the juvenile justice system just to name a few. If Dad is not supportive of the family, the family often struggles to make ends meet in this expensive world in which we live. These limitations can sometimes spell the difference in attending college or not attending college in some single parent families. Some fathers, especially young fathers, may feel that they are not qualified to care for their children because they may not know everything that there is to know about child development or parenting. In the tough economy in which we find ourselves may cause some Dads to be unemployed or to be working in a low wage job, and they may sometimes feel that they are not a good father because they canÕ t earn enough money. The good news is that little children donÕ t know about bank accounts or having a good paying job. One of the most important parts of being a father is simply being there for and with your children. Being a good father isnÕ t about big things, like buying big gifts, having lots of money or a big job. In fact, being a good father isnÕ t about big things at all. It is the many little things that are consistently given or shared over time. When you pick your child up in the air, they feel big and important just like Dad. They also feel DadÕ s strength and power, and children feel secure and protected when Dad is there. While mother is trying to keep 30 plates spinning at the same time, the shopping, the laundry, paying bills and so much more, Dad brings energetic playfulness and humor that is almost universal in all families. My wife would often refer to this phenomenon as me Ò winding the children up.Ó While fathers may not know everything about parenting, his predictable presence in the home, gentleness towards his children and wife more than make up for any shortcoming in parenting skills. If you get on the floor with your child and envelope them with your gaze, they will gaze right back at you and smile, and that toothless expression will let you know why it is so important to your child and to you as a Dad, that you are there. It has been my great privilege to be a father, and while I know that I have made many mistakes as a parent, I know from the strong bond that I have with my daughter that I did some things right as a father. Along the way, I have shared some of the maxims that my father shared with me. Some of his frequent references were, Ò Life Is Not Fair,Ó Ò Good People ArenÕ t Always Nice and Nice People ArenÕ t Always Good PeopleÓ and Ò The Grass IsnÕ t Always Greener Elsewhere.Ó On FatherÕ s Day, take a few minutes to remember your Dad and all he means to you. If you are lucky enough to still have you Dad around, be generous with your hugs. Dads love hugs from their children most of all no matter how old or young they are. Happy FatherÕ s Day! Remember, all kids count. Reach the writer at hurlburt@wildblue.net

Kite Fest
mation for a rotating group of people. Ò IÕ m narrating a lovely community event,Ó Andrews said. Ò WhatÕ s lovely about it is itÕ s a beautiful open meadow. At the north end of the meadow is the first farmer’s market of the season. And at the southern end of the meadow are lots and lots of people flying kites.” Andrews said the event brought serious kite enthusiasts. Ò TheyÕ re delightful people,Ó Andrews said. Ò ItÕ s a niche thing. Everyone can fly a kite. But these people just love kite flying. They travel all over the country. They build their own kites.Ó This year, as a part of the eventÕ s Ô HarmonyÕ theme, Andrews and a group of other singers will be performing rounds. Town Supervisor Bill Ferebee said he would be attending this yearÕ s festival. Ò ItÕ s been a great event for the town,Ó Ferebee said. Ò Every year it continues to grow. In fact this year IÕ ve had folks call me and inquire about where they could camp overnight.Ó But the supervisor said he didn’t fly kites at the event. Ò IÕ m more interesting in just watching them Ñ the kidÕ s facial expressions as the kite actually takes off to fly.” He thought the event brought some kind of economic boost to the town. Ò IÕ m sure the diner and the grocery store and Stewarts all experience a little increase there,Ó Ferebee said.
From page 1 Shipps said the event was brainstormed because her organization was looking for more events geared toward families. Ò ItÕ s well attended,Ó Shipps said. Ò I think that people now see it as one of the signs that summer has now arrived in our community.Ó Shipps said themes for Kite Fest are chosen to involve different segments of the community. Prior years have focused on attracting art students and quilters, among other groups. This yearÕ s theme is Ô Harmony,Õ and will include music. Shipps said she was hoping for a windy day with no rain. In previous years there has not been enough wind to launch large kites, but this hasnÕ t stopped attendees. On one such occasion, Shipps said, Rob Hastings of Rivermede Farm, pulled a kite into the air from his moving tractor. Robert Andrews is the emcee, and has done this job since the eventÕ s second year. He believes he was chosen for his vocal abilities and past performance background. Ò I think itÕ s the radio voice,Ó Andrews said of why he thought he was asked to participate. Ò I had done some performing in community theater so people thought I would be comfortable with that.Ó Andrews said he welcomes guests and provides infor-

mountain that was very popular, Big Tupper, which is going to make Tupper Lake a four-seasons destination.Ó Maroun said he believed the resort would increase the number of jobs available in the area. Jim LaValley is a strong proponent of the Adirondack Club and Resort in his capacity as the chairman of ARISE (Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving Their Economy).Ò WeÕ re feeling very optimistic that the court is going to rule in favor of the APAÕ s permit,Ó LaValley said, adding that the APA took eight years to vet the project carefully. Ò I think the APA did their job, and they did it well.Ó LaValley said that having the Adirondack Club and Resort in Tupper Lake was important. Ò When you look at the Adirondacks, itÕ s a shrinking population and a shrinking economy,Ó LaValley said, adding that numerous communities in the area were looking for ways to counteract this trend. Ò Tupper Lake has one sitting right in their lap. I really believe the Adirondack Club will be transformational.Ó According to an APA press release, development of the Adirondack Club and Resort is projected to last 15 years. Ò The developers plan to construct 206 single family dwellings, 125 multifamily dwellings and a 60 room inn,” the release said. “Plans also include redevelopment of a marina and the refurbishment of the Big Tupper Ski Area including ski lodge, ski lift and ski trail improvements.Ó
