Organizers for the 39th annual event, which will take place throughout the Adirondack region starting Jan. 31, announced that Paul Smith’s College will be hosting an e-sports competition where gamers will go head-to-head in the popular football video game Madden 19. » ESG preview Cont. on pg. 2

LAKE PLACID | For a pair of American Winter Olympians, it all started with the Empire State Winter Games (ESWG).

Team USA luge member Emily Sweeney and retired alpine skier Andrew Weibrecht recently spoke about their experiences at, and admiration for, the Lake Placid-based sporting event.

“I remember being here for the first time and being too young to compete,” said Sweeney, a 2018 Olympian who currently slides on the World Cup circuit for Team USA. “When I came back the next year and was able to compete, that was a very special moment for me.” » ESG olympians Cont. on pg. 2

JAY | Among the pleasures of yesteryear that have been all but washed away in a river of technology is the desultory pursuit known as the Sunday drive.

Between church and chicken, families would pile into a station wagon with wood on the sides and slowly tool around neighboring communities in an activity that was a mix of sight-seeing and general nosiness.

Rising gas prices delivered a body bow to Sunday drives, but they were finished off by navigation systems and GPS coordinates that eliminated any pretext of getting lost in the name of fun.

So it is nostalgic in more ways than one to peruse the pages of “Our Towns: Dispatches From Around the Adirondack Park,” which feels like a Sunday drive in print as it meanders through one Adirondack community after

another, telling the stories of their inception, with dollops of colorful history, commerce and culture thrown in for good measure.

“Our Towns” is produced by Adirondack Life, which has long been the literary heart and soul of the park, and is a collection of the magazine’s backpage town-origin stories, a feature that ran for nearly a quarter century between 1990 and 2014.

The brief sketches, seldom more than eight or 10 paragraphs in length, give a quick but delightful summation of Adirondack towns, whether bustling success stories like Lake George, or all but forgotten cluster of buildings like Childwold, where a small outbuilding behind the local cafe had a sign clarifying that “This Ain’t What You think.”

The 130 towns are arranged alphabetically instead of geographically, which makes it easier to quickly locate a particular town, but harder to take book in hand and do on an impromptu, town-to-town road trip.

There are some fascinating histories here, which, for many readers will have traveled under the radar. Fish House, for example, may have been the site of the first Adirondack resort, yet its success and ultimate failure played out against the backdrop of American revolutionary tensions. » Our Towns Cont. on pg. 3

» ESG preview Cont. from pg. 1 The announcement, along with further information on the planning surrounding the upcoming Empire State Games (ESG), was made during a press conference in Lake Placid on Dec. 20.

“This is a huge, emerging market,” said new event director Molly Rose Mayer. “There are professional e-gamers making millions playing these games and it is something we wanted to add to our events.”

“This is a sport that is being talked about by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) quite heavily,” said Sandy Caligiore.

“It’s a big-time deal.”

www.suncommunitynews.com

E-sports have become very popular over recent years, with many colleges and high schools hosting e-sports clubs and teams.

Mayer added that some of the competitors at this event may also receive scholarships to be part of the first Paul Smith’s e-sports team, which plans to start next fall.

STATE-WIDE KICKOFF

Mayer also spoke about the additions to this year’s torch relay, which will now start in two locations — New York City and Buffalo — on Jan. 27.

“We have some great stops planned for the torch as it will get to travel throughout the state,” said Mayer.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

The two torch relays will make their way to Malone, where they will join together Jan. 31 and make their way into Saranac Lake, and eventually to the Lake Placid Olympic Center, to light the cauldron and open the ESG. Mayer said the athlete lighting the cauldron this year will not be known until just before it’s lit.

“All of the athletes and torch runners will have LED wristbands that will be coordinated with music and other events throughout the opening ceremony,” she said. “When it comes time to light the torch, one wristband, at random, will turn red, and that person will be the one to do the lighting.”

LOCAL VENUES

The ESG will continue to use venues throughout the Tri-Lakes region for the games, now including Titus Mountain in Malone, which will host a winter ski festival during the games.

“The support we provide to these games is consistent to our support and commitment to these communities which we serve,” said Mark Tryniski, president and CEO of ESG sponsor Community Bank.

The 39th annual Empire State Winter Games are slated to take place Jan. 31 through Feb. 3. For more information, including how to register for events as a competitor, visit empirestatewintergames.com.■

» ESG olympians Cont. from pg. 1 Sweeney said the competition at the games is something that helps drive athletes in sports that don’t get the chance to compete at the high school or club level.

“You get to push yourself and be tested in a sport you love by others who also love the sport,” Sweeney said. “It’s a great atmosphere and it’s really cool to now be in a position where I can help celebrate that.”

Weibrecht, a three-time Olympian who won silver at the 2014 games in Sochi, said the Empire State Games are the only event he can compare to the Olympics.

“There really is no other opportunity like the Empire State Games out there unless you get to go to the Olympics,” he said.

“It is a great way to introduce athletes to this level of competition and the festive atmosphere that accompanies it. I remember coming to the Empire State Games and getting the chance to mingle with athletes from other sports and events, and while we had World Cup and other events around the world, there was nothing that compared to what that experience was like until you got to the Olympics.”

While Sweeney will be in competition during the ESWG, Weibrecht said he plans to attend a number of the events as they take place between Jan. 31 and Feb. 3.

Ausable nets $300K for Keeseville Civic Center Former high school to be rehabilitated

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

AUSABLE | The Town of Ausable has been awarded $300,000 to rehabilitate the old Keeseville Civic Center.

The new influx of funds comes via last week’s Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Awards, the annual state event where hundreds of millions of dollars in grants, subsidies and incentives are awarded.

In addition to the $300,000 grant announced last week, the project was previously awarded $700,000 in grants from state and local agencies, including $500,000 from Restore NY, $100,000 from the Dormitory Authority of New York and $100,000 from the Moore Foundation, bringing the total amount of grant funding to $1 million.

“It’s probably a quarter of what we need, but it’s a start,” said Town Supervisor Sandra Senecal. » Our

Towns Cont. from pg. 1

Occasionally, futility and greatness played out tooth by jowl.

The town of Harkness was a rail stop that couldn’t scrape together a proper station, causing a writer for the Plattsburgh Press Republican to poke fun at the community’s makeshift accommodations, saying its station was capable of holding thousands of people “but not all at the same time.”

Yet the town also produced the great Methodist theologian and Martin Luther King confidant Georgia Harkness, whose work has never been fully appreciated.

Adirondack Life essayists ferreted out town histories, but also chatted up contemporaries, sometimes with delicious result. A resident of the town of Sodom said the community had never experienced fire and brimstone, “just a couple guys burnt their houses for insurance.”

The essays were written over the years by eight Adirondack Life editors, so it scarcely needs to be said the writing is first-rate, with pithy observations and frequent humor.

Despite their brevity, there’s almost always a historical nugget or two that will surprise

even local residents, along with cultural snippets that go far to explain community elan.

At the motorsports-rich Number Four on the western side of the park for example, the Old Sawmill Inn serves “22 kinds of beer and three kinds of motor oil at the bar.”

A frequent problem with compilations is that too often they are unable to shed the stain of recycled content. That’s not the case here, partly because the essays date back 30 years and have probably fallen from all but the sharpest of memories. Further, there is no small amount of value in having all these profiles in one place, where it functions almost as a reference.

While the attractive hardcover is suitable for coffee tables and Adirondack collections, it could almost be used as something to keep in the glovebox, to be pulled out whenever the motorist might pass through a lonesome crossroads and wonder about its roots.

Adirondack Life has chosen not to freshen these essays, leaving them as originally written, even if some of the things that were true in, say, 1995, are no longer so today.

The editors acknowledge the hiccup in the introduction, but ask readers to consider the essays as a snapshot in time. Essentially this means that

ville in 2015 — after the village was dissolved — the town has budgeted approximately $20-25,000 per year on maintenance and utilities on the civic center.

Ever since, it’s been used as a polling station and currently houses the Development Authority of the North Country, a telecommunications and broadband company.

The town board is expected to discuss the future of the property at its next meeting, according to Senecal. That’s set for Dec. 26, after this edition went to print.

“We appreciate being awarded, that’s for sure,” she said.

“I’m not ruling anything out for the building.”

Since 2011, more than $6.1 billion has been awarded to more than 7,300 projects statewide through the REDC Awards, according to Empire State Development, “creating or retaining” more than 230,000 jobs.

The North Country region as a whole garnered $64.8 million for 70 projects this year. The City of Plattsburgh received $1.6 million.

The awards last week bring the total funds received by the North Country Regional Economic Development Council to $614 million since 2011. ■

some of the essays printed in the earlier years have become historical in their own right. It actually adds an element of interest, in that the reader can see how much things have changed — or more accurately, how much they haven’t.

And in part, this is what makes “Our Towns” so fascinating. Mostly, these are the ubiquitous small communities that Adirondack travel-

Thank You!

The funding will be used to convert the 82-year-old structure into a “regional senior center,” according to the REDC Awards booklet.

But Senecal said that the future use of the property is still undecided.

“The funding will be used to get (the building) back up and open,” Senecal said.

In August, the town’s voters weighed in on a proposal to issue a $4.6 million bond to rehabilitate the 55,000 squarefoot civic center. It was rejected by a wide margin — 318 people voted no, 85 voted yes.

“We applied for this (funding) well before we did the vote,” Senecal said. “We were just waiting for the outcome.

We’ll be discussing the possibilities.”

At a public meeting ahead of the vote, a handful of residents questioned why the town hadn’t yet explored the cost of demolishing the structure. At that same meeting, Town Councilman Steven Sucharski said that if the bond vote was rejected that the town would return the $700,000 in grant funding the project had already received.

Glenn H. Pierce

He was also very active with his children in produce production and sales at a small retail outlet on Route 68 where he also assisted his father-in-law, T. Lester Rawlins, in the creation and eventual purchase of the Boyden Brook Mobile Home Park.

Glenn was very active in the community and had an impact on the lives of many youth in Northern New York. He was president of the Snow Owls & Sportsman club, JAYCEES and Try & Square Dance club, of Parishville, chairman of the two county 4-H and St. Lawrence camp committees, leader of two 4-H clubs, Junior 4-H leader in Wadhams and member of the Wadhams’s Grange.

He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Canton.

Glenn also enjoyed various craft activities and worked with his wife in the business of Marty’s Creations, traveled around New York for numerous craft shows, knitting blankets for Binky Patrol and various fashions for Colleen Rose and her craft business. Glenn and Marty also enjoyed attending local high school basketball while in Canton and more recently watching the travails of Syracuse and Golden State basketball.

Glenn also had a passion for his four legged brethren and supported animal rescue and adopted dozens of cats and dogs over the years. Due to this great fondness, he would have appreciated memorial contributions be made to your local animal shelter or rescue organization. ■

WESTPORT | Glenn H. “Red” Pierce, 81, of Prunedale, California passed away on Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2018, at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital of a sudden illness.

On Oct. 7, 1959 he married Martha L. Rawlins of Canton at the Crary Mills Church.

The couple were married 59 years. They lived in Canton for 51 years before retiring to Salinas, California in 2010.

In addition to his wife, Martha “Marty,” he was survived by three children, Lawrence K. “Larry” Pierce (Vicki), of Aromas, California; Kathy L. Richards (Jeff), of Fulton; and Mark H. Pierce (Sonya), of Albuquerque, New Mexico; five grandchildren, Brian, Kevin and Sarah Richards and Nate and Colin Pierce and two great-grandchildren.

He was also survived by one brother, Edwin Pierce, of Clay, and predeceased by four brothers, Robert, Harry, LeRoy, Allen and one sister at birth.

Glenn worked for Cornell University in Canton where he managed an experimental station for agricultural research for 35 years.

Glenn also operated a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Weather Station and worked with over 30 local dairies, assisted at Gibbo’s Market, performed appliance repair, harvested apples and plowed snow in his spare time.

LEWIS | Yah know, there’s a saying, it’s a good day when you’re drinking your coffee, reading the morning paper, scanning the obituaries and not seeing your name.

Well, today is not a good day for me. I, Robert Russell Sweatt, was born Aug. 25, 1949 and died Dec. 21, 2018. I spent a lifetime in Lewis and the last two years in Keeseville.

the bedside,” but I’m assuming my wife of 39 years, Ellen (Cassidy), was there.

I know my kids, son Robert “Bob” (Alicia), daughters Sarah (Derrick) Hackett, Kate (Peter) McCormick and Diana Sweatt (Gordon Costin) took turns at my bedside making sure I was nestled and snuggled in bed with visions of fishing, golf balls and beer cans dancing in my head.

From all my grandchildren, Taylor and Wyatt Hackett; Charlee Anne, Connor and Robert Sweatt; Jacqueline (Ellie) and Elizabeth McCormick, there surely arose a calming clatter. With this in mind, I’m relying on Taylor and Wyatt to tell tall tales about me to the young ones.

My parents Robert F. and Catherine predeceased me. In addition to my family already mentioned, I’m survived by a loving sister, Sylvia ( Jerry- deceased) McCoy, sister Cynthia (Michael) Pratt and several nieces and nephews.

I served my community as a councilman for the Town of Lewis, a member of the Elizabethtown-Lewis School board and a member of the Elizabethtown Social Center board.

For my professional career, I was a radiologic technician working at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital. I also did a stint at the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Ray Brook as a contract technician.

Then, to earn my keep, I chopped up wood into big ole heaps... you may have seen them as you drove by. From that time on, I was known as, “The Wood Guy.” Here’s a glimpse of what made me “me.”

a youth with my father and uncles. My dad even built a race track at our house!

I enjoyed fishing for trout at the farm and at Lincoln Pond. I loved flying around the golf course with my son at the wheel and signing up for 18 but playing 36. I loved running by myself but enjoyed having my kids at my side jaunting down the road or competing in local road races. Also, if there was anything that needed fixing, out came the duct tape with a rip and a tear.

One of my favorite pastimes was researching the Sweatt family genealogy with Sarah.

We were able to trace our lineage back to England in the 1500’s. Something special to me, was finding out about Civil War Edwin Sweatt who died and was buried at Andersonville Prison. I could go on and on with what I enjoyed like woodworking and models, building toys and beds, cross country skiing, swimming in the pool, crafting maple syrup outback in my shed, hiking the mountains and being dragged all over the country to see the sites! But this is costing Ellen some money.

There are some folks I’d like to thank including: my physician Dr. Charles Moisan, Dr. Jan Duus for exceptional kindness and care, the staff of the Infusion Clinic at Elizabethtown Community Hospital, High Peaks Hospice and lastly all the special people who have given unconditional support to Ellen and family, you know who you are!

Relatives and friends were invited to call on Friday, Dec. 28 from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Hamilton Funeral Home, 294 Mannix Rd., Peru. A celebration of life was held at 4:30 p.m. in the Hamilton Funeral Home Chapel.

Finally, a quote from my favorite movie, life is “...little full, lotta sap.”

Precursor to potential Westport Golf Course project goes to APA Classification change would pave way for future expansion

Map Arner"ill

Ill !018

:)2

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT | An Adirondack Park Agency (APA) map amendment request from Westport went to public hearing just before Christmas.

The proposed 29-acre change would reclassify land east of the Westport Golf Course, currently zoned by the APA as Resource Management, into less restrictive hamlet area.

The proposed lot is owned by Consolidated Mortgages, the golf course owner, and abuts the hamlet section in Westport, the former village line.

The proposed area for land-use change touches the edge of existing water and sewer lines, which serve the golf course clubhouse.

The 29-acre hamlet addition could allow for construction of lodging and possibly hotel accommodations at Westport Golf Course, according to Westport town officials.

But APA planners Matt Kendall and Robyn Burgess were clear to remind residents at the meeting that the December public hearing did not involve any plan or discussion of plans for development.

Kendall made the APA presentation, explaining that the proposed map change is a precursory step to expand developable area in Westport.

Any development project, Kendall said, would be put in motion through the Westport Planning Board.

APA jurisdiction, he said, would depend on whether any proposed development project has a structure proposed over 40-feet tall; if significant areas of wetland would be affected; or if the development proposed to add 100 units of housing, lodging or more.

“We are not reviewing a specific project,” Kendall said, as many citizens asked general questions about traffic impact from development adjoining Liberty Street.

“The (APA) only considers existing (land form) characteristics of an area,” Kendall said of map amendments.

Changes to APA zoning is required at the proposed 29-acre location to allow sewer and water extension.

APA staff planners do not have a preferred option among the five under review.

But the mapped area proposed by Westport zoning officials, called Alternative 1, does not reach completely to Stevenson Road where sewer and water extensions might prove efficient for development.

The APA included a map amendment Alternative 2, which reaches to the road. APA Alternative 2 would reclassify a total 32 acres instead of 29.

Adirondack Park Agency environmental planners Robin Burgess and Matt Kendall addressed a crowd of about 30 Westport residents during the recent public hearing, seeking comment and feedback on the town’s request to expand hamlet in Westport.

Without existing sewer, Kendall explained, the proposed map amendment does not meet APA criteria for Hamlet.

The chicken-and-egg scenario, he said, does not necessarily mean APA commissioners would reject the map amendment request.

They could, he said, make recommendations in a pre-approval process, withholding final approval until after sewer and water infrastructure is in place.

Review done now, Kendall explained, would assure town planning officials, investors and developers that the landuse change would comply with APA rules.

Infrastructure expansion would eventually trigger the hamlet zoning change.

APA commissioners will examine all five alternatives.

The APA’s Alternative 4 is similar to Alternative 2, suggesting new hamlet lands “would be located within the town’s sewer district, new development would be legally required to be connected to the system, and the town’s collection, conveyance and treatment systems would have adequate capacity to handle the additional flow that could result from new development in this area.”

Alternative 3 considers other land-use classification, “rural use,” “low intensity” or “moderate intensity,” but finds: “reclassifying the area as any classification other than hamlet would create a small land use area that may not be consistent with the regional scale of the Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan Map.” Alternative 5 takes “no action.”

Kendall said Westport’s map change request would likely reach APA commissioners in February.

During public comment, Westport Supervisor Michael “Ike” Tyler said the Westport Town Council voted to seek the map change.

“We found, if we have an opportunity to expand hamlet (acreage), it’s a very positive thing.”

If the map change moves forward, he said, the next step would be town zoning review and public hearings.

“And our (zoning) codes are stricter than the APA,” he said.

“It’s a long process to go through. (Development) is not going to happen overnight.”

Kendall said the Town of Westport does have an APA approved land-use plan, which would have to be amended to accommodate development.

Plans to add lodging and/or rental units at Westport Golf Course have not been formally presented to town or zoning officials.

The public comment period for the proposed APA map amendment in Westport closes on Jan. 7.

Written comments can be submitted to: Matthew Kendall, Environmental Program Specialist, Adirondack Park Agency, P.O. Box 99, Ray Brook, NY 12977. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Optimism heading into 2019 Change is the one

thing you can always depend on in life.

I learned long ago that resisting

By Dan Alexander change serves no • PUBLISHER • real purpose. It is going to happen whether we embrace it or not. As a result, I believe accepting change and dealing with it before it deals with you has served us well at The Sun. Over the last few years, as the daily newspaper distribution has drastically declined, The Sun’s longtime, direct mail free distribution program has grown significantly.

So much so, that in the next few weeks, we will be converting the size of The Sun to a broadsheet format which will expand the length of each page by roughly five inches.

The longer page will not only allow the many different sized pre-printed inserts to fit better inside the paper, but it will permit our news and creative staffs greater opportunity to use the new space.

In 2019, we also hope to continue our production department expansion, to improve the color reproduction quality while reducing spoilage and seeking new ways to increase productivity and efficiency.

While we deal with fun changes, we also face several daunting challenges.

Last year’s newsprint tariffs scare, which artificially increased the cost of paper by 40 percent, has yet to be reduced, with paper mills continuing to charge the inflated price for newsprint.

The paper increase, coupled with an announced price increase by the United States Postal Service (USPS) for saturation mail, has us working closely to examine our costs. The Postal Service has basically “admitted” that it did not realize how high the 8.5 percent increase would be after juggling all of the computations.

USPS also failed to recognize that some types of mailers, like The Sun, have no choice, given the rural geography of the North Country, but to enter the mail at the sectional postal centers.

Due to the decline of small businesses in many of our rural communities, advertising support is not what it once was, which has us looking seriously at other distribution models and ways to maintain the local news coverage we’ve provided for over 70 years.

Despite the challenges, small businesses like ours have learned to be resilient. We recognize the essential role we play delivering the local news and advertising so critical to the local economy, and we remain confident in our ability to continue to do so with your support and encouragement.

Here’s to a healthy and prosperous 2019 for all! ■

Letters

Disagrees with ‘prestige’ accusation

Editor’s note: This letter is in response to the letters of Reginald H. Bedell and David Thomas-Train which appeared in the Dec. 22 edition of The Sun titled, “Letter ‘ brings no prestige’ to newspaper” and “We must move past climate change deniers,” respectively.

To the Editor: In order to gain “prestige” and to maintain “intellectual integrity,” should you just print only the “accepted” point of view of the anointed few as Bedell suggests?

As to Thomas-Train’s claims of retreating ice sheets and atmospheric concentrations from “300,000 years,” there is evidence to the contrary and certainly no scientific proof that any of his alleged changes were manmade, nor are they fi xable by a carbon tax on Americans or by such a tax on anyone.

His claim of “97 percent of scientists” were most likely 97 percent of the paid shills pretending to be “scientists” like Bill Nye. - Terry K. Hurlburt, Ticonderoga ■

Go vegan in the new year

To the Editor: With the glow of Christmas barely behind us, we look forward to the new year and the customary New Year’s resolutions: Reduce social media, reduce weight and this year, reduce animal food consumption.

One-third of consumers already report reducing their consumption of animal foods.

Hundreds of school, college, hospital and corporate cafeterias have embraced “Meatless Monday.” Even fast-food chains Chipotle, Denny’s, Panera, Subway, Taco Bell and White Castle are rolling out plant-based options.

The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $ 50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75.

A dozen start-ups, led by Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, are creating healthy, ecofriendly, compassionate, convenient, delicious plant-based meat and dairy products. Meat industry giants Tyson Foods, Cargill, and Canada’s Maple Leaf Foods have invested heavily in plantbased meat development. So have a number of Microsoft, Google, Twitter and PayPal pioneers.

According to the Plant-Based Foods Association, plant-based food sales have grown by 20 percent in the past year, 10 times the growth rate of all foods. Sales of plant-based cheeses, creamers, butter, yogurts and ice creams are exploding at a 50 percent growth rate. Plant-based milks now account for 15 percent of the milk market.

The plant-based New Year’s resolution requires no sweat or deprivation — just some fun exploration of your favorite supermarket and food websites.

Gender descriptors unnecessary in sports

To the Editor: I am continually disappointed by this newspaper’s reference to girls sports teams as the “lady” version of their team mascot, while their male counterparts receive no such gender distinction.

As a former high school athlete who continues to enjoy competitive sports, I regard the “lady” descriptor as unnecessary and patronizing.

It reinforces a larger cultural bias that views women’s athletics as a lesser version of men’s — a bias that limits scholarship and career opportunities for women in professional sports and detracts from the achievements of fiercely competitive, strong and talented female athletes.

Coaches playing favorites at Schroon Lake

To the Editor: My child in her senior year is always sitting on the bench when playing basketball. It appears that some coaches (educators) at Schroon Lake Central School feel the need to choose only their favorites and not necessarily the good players.

The educators that I don’t name know who they are, and so does the community.

I have written to the coach, the superintendent and spoke to several board members.

It appears they know what is occurring but don’t care to acknowledge there is a problem.

One would think that these educators would realize this is a form of abuse. This lowers the child’s self-esteem and may even cause them to hate the sport. Again, being educators, you would think they would be knowledgeable and refrain from such inappropriate practices when dealing with children.

After all, this practice of favoritism does not just touch one child but effects others as well.

Many other parents at the Schroon Lake School District also support my same thoughts.

I hear from many parents, teachers and other children that my daughter is very good and should be playing in her senior year. I would think that many in the district would think that those educators should evaluate their behaviors and correct themselves.

In a short summary, let the children enjoy playing sports, gain positive experiences and for coaches to stop thinking they’re in a national league but rather concentrate on teaching and role model. It’s high school. Experiences, learning and playing sports should be “fun” and “enjoyable!”

Health insurance costs crushing many people who don’t get federal subsidies “No easy bipartisan fixes in sight” for health care

By Steven Findlay K A ISER HEA LTH NEWS

PLATTSBURGH | Like millions of Americans in this final week of open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces, Diane McCabe is shopping for health insurance.

“At my age, I can’t go without it even though I’m healthy now,” said McCabe, 62, a self-employed real estate agent in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

“But the process is frustrating, and the expense significant.”

That’s because McCabe is one of the 5 million people who buy their own coverage and pay the full cost. Her income is too high to qualify for a government subsidy to help defray the premium.

McCabe last week settled on a $773-a-month policy that has a $4,000 deductible — the amount she’ll have to pay out-of-pocket before insurance kicks in. She estimates that will account for at least 15 percent of her income in 2019.

Under the ACA, people who earn up to 400 percent of the poverty level (about $48,500 for an individual and $100,400 for a family of four in 2019) are eligible for premium subsidies.

Eighty-seven percent of the 10.6 million people with

ACA plans this year received a subsidy.

RISING COSTS

The financial challenge for people like McCabe has come into much sharper focus during the past year, as insurance premiums have spiked.

These increasing costs plus rising deductibles and copayments have driven millions who don’t get a subsidy to drop their coverage or turn to cheaper, less comprehensive — and sometimes inadequate — insurance.

The Trump administration has highlighted the plight of the unsubsidized and said that its regulatory revamp of the health law will give consumers new, more affordable options.

One of the key administration efforts is extending the use of short-term insurance plans that have lower premiums but don’t provide the full benefits that the ACA requires, such as continuous coverage of preexisting conditions or maternity care.

Those plans are not eligible for subsidies now, but, under regulations the administration proposed in October, subsidies could be available starting in 2020.

Critics counter that the administration’s approach runs a high risk of undermining core features of the ACA. And a legal battle over the administration’s proposed new rules is likely.

“The subsidy structure is unquestionably a problem,” said Chris Sloan, a director at Avalere Health, a policy and research think tank in Washington, D.C. “It’s a cruel reality

for those above the income cutoffs. But it’s not clear that the administration’s actions are the best solution.”

Opponents of the Trump administration’s proposals contend they could lead young, healthy people to abandon ACA coverage and choose less comprehensive and expensive coverage — leaving more older and sicker people in the exchanges. That would result in steadily increasing costs for those plans, and could eventually destabilize the ACA marketplaces, policy analysts say.

Overall, about 4.4 million fewer people who buy coverage on their own were insured in 2018 compared to 2015, a decline from 18.8 to 14.4 million. Most of the decline occurred among people who don’t get subsidies.

ON AND OFF INSURANCE

Cameron and Lori Llewellyn, of Dover, Delaware, have found insurance just too expensive.

In June 2017, Lori Llewellyn left a job that provided the family with good health coverage. She wanted to start her own business — a clothing boutique. Cameron Llewellyn is a self-employed construction contractor.

The Llewellyns tried to enroll in a plan through the ACA exchange in the summer of 2017. But Cameron Llewellyn’s income was too high to qualify for a subsidy. On the open market, they were quoted rates as high as $2,000 a month, with deductibles of $4,000 or more, for themselves and their 8-year-old daughter, Bryce. » Health insurance Cont. on pg. 12

Kat Wilcox signing off It is with some sadness that I must announce this will be my last regular weekly North Country

By Kathy Wilcox SPCA column.

• COLUMNIST • I have been writing this column for over 10 years, but due to outside responsibilities, it is time to pass the torch to someone who I know will do a wonderful job informing you about the many adoptable animals at the NCPSCA who are seeking their forever homes.

Please welcome Carla Stroud as the new author of this column!

Carla is currently responsible for the NCSPCA’s social media, design work and runs the volunteer program.

As a resident of the Essex County area, who is well-acquainted with our furry residents, she is the perfect person to take over this responsibility.

Our featured animal this week is

Westport students welcome at Elizabethtown Social Center In light of the recent vote to merge the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School (ELCS)and Westport Central School (WCS),

By Arin Burdo the board of directors of • COLUMNIST • the Elizabethtown Social Center has decided to update our residency requirements for membership in our teen rec program.

Since 1939, the Social Center has welcomed youth from the ELCS district to apply for membership. Member privileges include attending the Social Center’s teen rec hours, signing out equipment, bringing guests, participating in programming and contests that are exclusively for members and receiving discounted rates on Social Center trips.

For nearly 80 years, the program has been restricted to residents of the ELCS

District and their guests.

We are happy to announce that residents from the newly created Elizabethtown-Lewis-Westport School District will be eligible to apply for membership in our teen rec program beginning Jan. 1.

Cora Putnam Hale stated her wishes for the youth of the community to always have a place at the Social Center when she founded the organization in 1939.

She believed that the Social Center could and should be a place that might help teens become good citizens of the future.

What better way to honor her legacy than extending the privileges of her generosity and forethought to our neighbors as our communities move toward securing a better future for education together.

Please see our website, elizabethtownsocialcenter.org, for more information about our teen rec program and contact

the Social Center at 518-873-6408 or info@elizabethtownsocialcenter.org for more information or to schedule an appointment to become a teen rec member.

Activities coming up in our teen rec program include “Pizza and Pool” Fridays through the winter; the Jan.19 defensive driving course, which nonlicensed teens can take for free; February chess club; and our annual Dr. Mel Amsel Memorial Chess Tournament and the Social Center Pool Tournament of Champions, both in March.

Regular teen rec hours are TuesdayThursday, 3-6 p.m.; Friday, 3-9 p.m.; and Saturday, 2-9 p.m.

Details about activities, events and trips can be found at elizabethtownsocialcenter.org and on Facebook. ■ Arin Burdo is the executive director of the Elizabethtown Social Center.

Sports Red Storm make early season statement in Nordic

suncommunitynews.com/sports

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

NORTH CREEK | Jacob Alberga knows how challenging the goal is which the Saranac Lake Nordic ski team has set for themselves.

“We want to be in contention for a state championship,” Alberga, a member of the state championship Red Storm cross country team, said after the Queensbury Relays at Gore Mountain Dec. 29.

The Red Storm relay team of Alberga, Nick Kelting and Adrian Hayden scored the win at the relays in a time of 22:16.6, followed by defending state champion Lake Placid, who combined James Flanigan, Kai Frantz and Max Flanigan to finish in a time of 23:11.5.

“I tell everyone to focus, stay in shape and keep the goals in site,” Alberga said. “There are not many schools who can even think about winning two state titles in one year and we want to accomplish that.”

“We are fighting for the state title this year,” said Kelting.

“Jacob being on both teams, to get him two state titles in a year would be amazing,” said Hayden. “To also do that for the school, it would be legendary.”

Alberga said the team has been enjoying the early season.

“This was a lot of fun,” Alberga said of the start of the season. “It’s fun coming back for your senior year and knowing everybody you compete with. We have a really good community of parents and teammates cheering for each other.”

“It’s very early and there are still teams we have not seen who are very good,” said Red Storm coach Keith Kogut. “We had a good first competition against Lake Placid and did well here, so it’s a good start, but there is a long way to go.”

Nobles placed fourth, while Reuben Bernstein, Adam Hesseltine and Griffin Smith placed 11th for the Red Storm.

Johnsburg had a pair of teams compete on the home course, as the trio of David Anderson, Gabe Powers and Gabe Smith placed 18th and the grouping of Wolfgang Neal, Wyatt Moore and Braydon Jourdan placed 31st.

In the girls race, the Lake Placid trio of Annie Rose-McCandish, Lynn Palen and Lura Johnson placed third in a time of 30:01.9, while Sophia Kelting, Ruby Smith and Jordanna Samburgh of Saranac Lake were fifth and the Johnsburg trio of Sheridan Millington, Manon Stevens and Ava Anderson were sixth.

Lake Placid’s second team of Lilly Flanigan, Alexa Harper and Harley Cohen placed 12th.

Blue Bombers place second, Warriors third at Holmes tourney

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The Lake Placid and Willsboro girls basketball teams both went 1-1 at the Ray Holmes Memorial Tournament in Plattsburgh Dec. 27-28, with the Blue Bombers advancing to the title game with a win over the Warriors.

Deidra Kellerman, Dylan Bashaw and Arnita Cecunjanin each had 11 rebounds as the Blue Bombers defense was key in a 35-16 win in the first day of the tournament. Kellerman

led the offense with 22 points, while Cecunjanin added six, Izzy Armstrong three, Bashaw two and Chelsea Moore two.

Olivia Politi led the Warriors with four points, while Malena Lawrence and Desiree Cassavaugh scored three points each. Aliceson Drollette, Samantha Harrison Margaret Frechette and Kaitlyn Wilkins each scored two points.

The Blue Bombers advanced to the championship game, where they lost to host Plattsburgh High, 49-19, as Natalie Tavares led the Bombers with six points. Armstrong and Cecunjanin each scored four, while Kellerman had two and Bashaw one.

very happy with the performance of both teams early on.

“Both the boys and girls teams are looking great and it’s great to be able to go down to Section II and do so well against so many schools,” Frazer said. “Our Section VII boys are some of the fastest in the state. I was also really impressed with how my girls skied and I feel that they will only improve as the season goes on.”

Frazer added the road to a boys state championship, which has run through Lake Placid the last three years, may now head a little more to the west.

“It will be difficult to defend with some losses due to graduation and the Saranac Lake boys are looking like the team to beat this year, but they skied well today to place second,” he said. ■

» Health insurance Cont. from pg. 7 They opted instead to go without coverage until the end of 2017. Then again, for this year, they ended up not qualifying for subsidies and decided to go without insurance.

“We just couldn’t justify the expense, especially with that high of a deductible,” Lori Llewellyn said. “But it wasn’t a comfortable situation. We wanted coverage for all the reasons people know they need it.”

For 2019, the Llewellyns are trying again.

They have enrolled through the state ACA exchange in a policy with a premium of $1,286 and a $7,900 deductible, but with a subsidy that will cover the entire premium.

Spencer Ricks, 36, a self-employed attorney in Salt Lake City, is choosing a different path. He, his wife and their 3-year-old daughter bought ACA-compliant coverage in 2016.

Their premium rose from around $600 in 2016 to $970 in 2017 with a $10,000 deductible.

Ricks was told his premium for 2018 for the same plan would be $1,200 with a $13,500 deductible. He pulled the plug on the family coverage and instead enrolled his wife — who was pregnant — in a plan costing $570 a month with a $5,000 deductible.

Ricks and his daughter then joined a Chris-

tian Healthcare Ministry plan costing $157 a month, with a $10,000 deductible. For 2019, Ricks is enrolling the whole family in another religious-affiliated plan, costing $529 a month with a $2,250 deductible.

But the most prevalent alternative to an ACA plan for people who don’t get subsidies in 2019 is likely to be a short-term plan.

Previously available for only 90 days — primarily to bridge gaps in coverage — the Trump administration expanded that time frame to 364 days.

The plans can be bought at any time, but sales are up now because more people are shopping during the ACA’s open enrollment, said Sean Malia, a senior director at eHealth, an online brokerage.

Melanie and Pete Howell, of Austin, Texas, are among eHealth’s newest customers. They had an ACA plan this year costing $1,100 a month with a $7,000 deductible. It covered the couple and their two children, ages 22 and 17.

The Howells’ income is too high to qualify for a subsidy. When their insurer notified them that the premium was going to $1,400 a month in 2019, they opted for a short-term plan that will cost $380 a month with a deductible of $12,500.

The plan does not cover prescription drugs, and the Howells will pay 30 percent of the

raises the threshold for subsides above 400 percent of poverty — to, say, 600 percent. But that stokes concerns of added federal spending.

A more realistic approach, for now, could be to permit states to experiment with ways to help those over the 400 percent threshold, said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at the Georgetown University’s Health Policy Institute.

For example, with federal government permission, eight states have already launched, or will in 2019, “reinsurance” programs that redeploy federal dollars to help insurers cover the costs of families with high medical expenses. The programs have kept premium costs down for both people who get subsidies and those who don’t.

Another proposal would permit states more leeway to restructure the ACA subsidies to provide less help to people with high-cost health care needs and more help to those not currently eligible for subsidies.

“Letting states try things out has bipartisan support and there are mechanisms for that already in place,” Corlette said. “It would seem to have the best chance of yielding something useful to help this population [the unsubsidized] for now.” ■ This article, which was originally published on Dec. 14, has been reprinted with permission.

Diane McCabe, a self-employed real estate agent in Pennsylvania, said her insurance could eat up 15 percent of her income in 2019.

costs for doctor, emergency room visits and any surgical procedures.

“This buys us some time at a much more affordable price to figure out what to do for the longer term,” said Melanie Howell.

NO EASY SOLUTIONS

Although both ACA critics and advocates say that addressing the high cost of coverage for non-subsidized families should be a priority, there are no easy bipartisan fixes in sight.

Many ACA supporters urge legislation that
