Residents, long frustrated by poor service, heartened — but wary — at Frontier deal Provider faulted for misrepresenting internet speeds, must upgrade networks By Pete DeMola EDITOR

FRANKLIN FALLS | Susan Mitchell became so frustrated with her internet and phone service in 2017, she canvassed her rural neighborhood with a petition asking state regulators to compel Frontier Communications into providing reliable service. Mitchell and her neighbors outlined a litany of frequent interruptions, outages and poorly-maintained infrastructure. “Everyone signed it,” said Mitchell. The last straw was when a tractor trailer tore down the lowhanging phone and internet service lines roped over a rural roadway. The wires were hanging below regulation, according to the petition, and residents had reportedly warned Frontier to no avail. Franklin Falls, a community of about 50 homes located 14 miles northeast of Saranac Lake, is isolated.

“Be a workhouse,” Stefanik advises young colleagues By Pete DeMola EDITOR

» Frontier Cont. on pg. 9

ELIZABETHTOWN | Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Schuylerville) broke with her party last Thursday by joining Democrats in voting to end the partial government shutdown. “I oppose government shutdowns and in Congress have consistently voted to keep the government open,” wrote Stefanik in a Facebook post.

The House voted 241 to 190 on the bill that would have fully funded government agencies until Sept. 30. The lawmaker was one of just seven Republicans to do so, joining fellow New York Republicans Rep. John Katko and Peter King. » Stefanik Cont. on pg. 2

SARANAC LAKE | A local artist will talk about her efforts to empower refugee youth through photography at the Saranac Lake Free Library next week. The presentation — which will highlight “Frame Your Story,” an educational program created by Beatrice Shachenmayr of Lake Placid — is set for Jan. 17 at noon. Shachenmayr was a young student studying abroad in Istanbul, Turkey, when she came across the Association for Solidarity with Asylum-Seekers and Migrants.

It’s a non-profit organization that aids refugees fleeing conflict zones to seek asylum. Working with the group, she said, was life-changing. After graduating from Syracuse University’s School of Visual and Performing Arts with a BFA in Fine Art Photography, Shachenmayr spent a year in Southeast Asia teaching English. It was during her time in Thailand and Indonesia that she discovered one of her passions: She found that she loved teaching children in a way that was engaging, that brought them joy, in a way with a lasting impact. And she with art, she learned she could do that. Shachenmayr launched “Frame Your Story” in 2015. The project aims to empower refugee youth to share their stories and experiences through photography. » Photo program Cont. on pg. 13
