COALITION RENEWS PUSH FOR REFORM OF FOREST TAX LAW Expanding access to program will benefit environment, economy, say advocates

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Forestry associations, environmental groups and state lawmakers are asking the governor to prioritize reform of a program designed to preserve timberlands by giving private forest owners tax breaks and other incentives.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed a series of reforms to the Forest Tax Abatement Program last year, but the issue failed to gain traction.

Now as the governor prepares to roll out his 2018-19 budget plan on Tuesday,

the group is renewing its push to see the reforms become law.

UP TO 80 PERCENT

Commonly known as 480-a, the state Department of Environmental Conservation-managed program offers private landowners who own at least 50 contiguous acres of timberland tax deductions and other economic benefits in exchange for sustainably managing the forests on their property through long-term planning.

The plans serve as somewhat of a blueprint for the parcels, mapping out work schedules, objectives for forest health and provisions to maintain wildlife habitat.

The program offers up to an 80 percent reduction of property assessment.

But while 75 percent of the state’s forests are privately held, only 7 percent of eligible landowners participate, according to the governor’s 2017 State of the State agenda. » Forest tax Cont. on pg. 14

Supporters of reforming the state’s Forest Tax Abatement Program say the measure will help bolster the local economy while also safeguarding against climate change.

SARANAC LAKE | For Chris Mazdzer and Erin Hamlin, the weeks heading into the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, are much like any World Cup season.

The pair of luge competitors will race in two more World Cup events before the games, with the races helping to determine seedings for the Olympic competition.

“The biggest thing right now is the transition between the tracks,” said Mazdzer, the Saranac Lake native has previously participated in the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympic Games, placing 13th individually and 6th in the team relay at the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia.

Mazdzer said he is feeling confident heading into South Korea.

Adirondack Women’s March sets rally for Jan. 20 March starts at Inez Milholland’s grave

non-partisan event,” Weber said in an email announcement.

The group’s message heeds the courage and spirit of Milholland, Weber said.

“At a memorial for Inez in 1916, speakers praised her advocacy for feminism, for civil rights for blacks, and for humane treatment of inmates. Inez hated inequality. She hated shams and hypocrisy. She loved truth. A friend of hers once said, ‘What Inez showed us was that it is possible to have a glorious time and stand like iron for truth.’”

As the herald on a white horse, Inez rode in the 1913 Suffrage Parade in Washington, D.C., symbolizing the courage of women.

“Three years later, she died while campaigning for Votes for Women and her body was buried in Lewis Cemetery, a few miles from the family’s summer estate at Meadowmount,” Weber said.

Last year, some 400 people gathered at the top of Lewis Cemetery’s icy hillside.

“I was humbled by the massive turnout,” Weber said of the march last year.

In 364 days since, Adirondack Women’s March supporters have written and sent postcards to legislators; made phone calls urging protection of civil, environmental and human rights policy; attended protests; and turned anger and frustration into action, Weber relayed.

“So here we are, bound together — not by sex or race or income or political party — but bound together because we love the United States of America; we believe in Democracy; and we support human rights.”

The Adirondack March will begin at 11 a.m. at the top of the Lewis Cemetery hill with a welcome address, poetry, songs, and a brief graveside ceremony, Weber said.

“Attendees are encouraged to bring signs, flags, and/or flowers to lay on Inez’s grave.”

Afterward, Weber said, the march will commence down the hill to the new Inez Milholland roadside marker at the corner of Route 9 and Fox Run Rd., then up Route 9 about a quarter-mile to Lewis Veterans’ Park, and back past the Lewis Town Hall to the Lewis Congregational Church parsonage.

“At the parsonage, there will be soup, bread, hot drinks, goodies, and a lively program of sing-alongs, memories of 2017 and inspirational thoughts for the future.

LEWIS | On Jan. 20, Adirondack Women’s March reconvenes for a return rally to support women’s rights, civil rights and policy that protects health and safety of all people.

The event coincides with a larger Women’s March on Washington, D.C. that day alongside hundreds of similar gatherings around the country.

The non-partisan, peaceful assembly starts at Inez Milholland’s gravesite, paying tribute to the region’s famed civil and women’s rights activist.

Adirondack March organizers Sandra Weber and David Hodges said their event is a combination rally, march and community celebration.

“The aim is to show solidarity with women around the world.

We call on defenders of human rights to join us at this peaceful,

Hall from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. so marchers can view the town historical exhibit about Inez and the Milholland family.”

Two special showings of “Forward Into Light,” a short film about Milholland’s life by Martha Wheelock, are planned at 10:30 a.m. and at 1 p.m. in the church parsonage.

Women’s March events are also being held in Glens Falls (at noon) and in Plattsburgh (at 3 p.m.), Weber said.

“These events are part of a wide-spread grassroots movement with numerous local, regional, and state groups. We support the advocacy and resistance movements. And while some see the movement as scattered, I believe the multitude of groups with varying focus and strategy makes us stronger and hardier.”

Sen. Little, GOP state lawmakers propose tax cuts Plan would provide relief for seniors, cap property taxes

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | As budget season gets underway, state Senate Republicans are proposing a series of tax cuts designed to reduce the high tax burden they say is causing people to flee the state in droves.

The proposal announced last week by lawmakers contains measures to lower income, property and energy taxes and ban new unfunded mandates.

The GOP-controlled Senate is proposing to boost property tax rebate checks by 25 percent, and freeze school property tax rates at current levels for senior citizens before elimi-

nating them entirely over the next 10 years.

The plan also aims to double the current exemption on pension income, a measure predicted to save seniors $275 million.

Energy taxes will see a $280 million reduction under the plan by whittling away a tax on utility bills.

Paired with the phase-in of a middle class income tax cut that will reduce rates by 20 percent, state Senator Betty Little (R-Queensbury) said the plan will ultimately provide $4.2 billion in relief.

“There are many issues I hear from constituents about every day, but the most overarching concern is affordability,” said Little in a statement. “The cost of living is a challenge for so many people, affecting quality of life and our economic competitiveness. We can’t afford to lose more families and businesses who move to other states for lower taxes and more job opportunities.”

The state Senate will also act on legisla-

State Senate Republicans have rolled out a series of tax cuts designed to stave off the exodus of people from the state.

File photo tion that makes the state’s property tax cap permanent, and propose a constitutional amendment to ban new unfunded mandates.

The plan comes as the state faces a $4.4 billion shortfall and the loss of $2 billion in federal funding.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this month floated swapping out the state’s personal income tax with a payroll tax as a way to circumvent the new federal law that caps state and federal taxes at $10,000.

The governor is scheduled to present his budget on Tuesday, after this edition went to print. ■

Classical music for children highlights Carnival of Performing Arts Spirited storytelling, fourhand piano works set for Jan. 27 and 28 in Elizabethtown

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | A special two-day musical Winter Carnival of Performing Arts celebrates Animal Tales with piano performances, story-telling, mask-making and dance activities for children.

Produced, performed and created by Piano by Nature founders Rose Chancler and Jennifer Moore, two matinee shows feature four-hand piano performances to accompany the vocal talents of Willsboro Central School Drama Club Director and science teacher Derrick Hopkins.

The shows will feature warm, time-honored storytelling musical works: Babar the Elephant, by Francis Poulenc; Peter and the Wolf, by Sergei Prokofiev and Carnival of the Animals, by Camille Saint- Saëns.

“Our tenth season anniversary celebration will present concerts as only we can do — this time especially for kids,” Chancler said in announcing Animal Tales, set for Jan. 27 and 28.

“Both concerts will be matinee performances beginning at 3 p.m. at the Hand House in Elizabethtown, plus we are having a Saturday-only pre-concert Winter Carnival of the Performing Arts, free to area kids at the United Church of Christ Parish Center.”

Winter Carnival activities at UCC Parish Center, located on Court Street beside the stone church, include an instrument “petting zoo,” mask-making, a theater and dance session, a musical cake-walk and more.

“Come one, come all,” Chancler said, of the 10th annual Piano by Nature winter music celebration.

The performances pay homage to the very first Piano by Nature fundraiser concert held in July of 2008.

» Airbourne Cont. from pg. 1 “This started about a week before Christmas when I found out a track in Ontario had lost this race,” said Airborne Speedway director John Walker at a press conference on Monday. “I immediately sent an email to World of Outlaws.

The next thing you know, we were having a phone conference on getting it together.”

www.suncommunitynews.com

The World of Outlaws racing series, known as “The Greatest Show on Dirt,” is the premier dirt course racing series, paying out over $6 million in purses throughout the season and paying around $52,000 in purses for the July 25 event.

Outlaw drivers often make the jump into NASCAR racing series: Owners Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne are current top series NASCAR stars who have run in the Outlaw series.

There is nothing we like better than a story with a happy ending. We are sure you’ll enjoy these stories as well!

And if you’ve been considering adding a new family member of your own, there is no better time to come visit our state-of-the-art facility in Elizabethtown. We currently have almost 40 adoptable animals of all ages, sizes, and personality who would love to become your new best friend!

Our featured pet this week is MOO MOO, a pretty little Domestic Shorthair-mix with a lovely tabby coat. Moo Moo and her friend Tuxie, who is also available for adoption, both came in because their family moved and was unable to include their beloved cats.

Moo Moo is a real sweetheart. She is about 2 years old, very affectionate, and loves a good cuddle.

She also has a little bit of adolescent kitten playfulness that we see come out every now and then!

We believe she would adjust well to almost any household: with or without children, retired or working full-time — this little lady is so congenial and flexible to whatever lifestyle you lead — all she asks is that you don’t move without her!

If you are looking for an all-around purr-fect feline friend, Moo Moo is your girl. If you have room for two cats in your home, please consider adopting Tuxie as well – she is just as sweet as her Tabby friend! ■ — Kat Wilcox’s weekly column works to publicize the shelter’s adoptable pets.

The series travels throughout the country starting in February and running through the beginning of November.

BEST OF THE BEST

The July 25 event, which happens in the second half of the World of Outlaws series, will be a big time event for points drivers.

“I wanted to make things exciting to bring the community and the fans together,” said Walker. “I am very proud to bring this event to the area and I am excited to see where this will take us into the future.”

“You can expect to see all of the top 10 in points for the series at this event,” said Robby Knowles, Airborne media director. “You never know for sure who will be at the event, and I would not want to drop any names, but you can expect the top names in the sport will be there at an important time of the season.

There is a pretty good following and they also get drivers who won’t run a full schedule but will run selected Outlaw events.”

“This is the biggest ting that dirt track racing has to offer,” added Walker. “To get this kind of race in this area is something that has not been heard of.”

Knowles said World of Outlaws will be the fastest racing Airborne has ever seen.

“This will be the fastest lap times ever turned at the track, with single laps in the 12-second range, which averages out to 115 mph,” Knowles said. “Speeds are to top out at 135 mph, based on our calculations.”

COMMUNITY IMPACT

Kristy Kennedy of the Adirondack Coast

Visitor’s Bureau said an event like this will benefit the region.

“What more could you ask for to have an influx of thousands of people coming to the area to see something they support and follow around the country,” Kennedy said.

“We are on board to help wherever we can and to bring this to the public.”

Knowles added bringing the Outlaws to Plattsburgh will enhance the speedway’s reputation.

“It allows us to broaden our fan base,” Knowles said. “The ideal goal is to broaden our fan base and get more onto the map. An event like this allows us to open up and expand.”

“The landowners have put more than $1 million in to the infrastructure, which is a very important part to bringing this event here,” Walker said. “You can’t just have a dirt track and then build a race. There are a lot of things that need to take place.”

FULL SCHEDULE

Airborne Speedway went back to being a dirt track in 2017, after running on asphalt for the past 26 years, allowing them to seek out top rated racing series that run on the surface.

Along with World of Outlaws, Airborne has also announced the return of the Super Dirt Car Series and Empire Super Sprints.

“For me, this is an important event to get here and we are doing everything we can to get Airborne Park Speedway to that status of what we feel is the most premier racing facility on the east coast,” Walker said.

DEC survey targets freshwater anglers Information collected will help guide future freshwater management

ELIZABETHTOWN | The New York state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is sending out a survey to anglers who purchased a freshwater fishing license this year.

Last conducted in 2007, the statewide freshwater angler survey is designed to help DEC fisheries managers better understand where anglers are fishing, what they are fishing for, how many days they spend on the water, and what they spend their money on.

It also provides managers with insight into anglers’ preferences, satisfaction, and opinions on management topics.

Expenditure information provided by anglers will also help DEC better quantify the benefits of freshwater fisheries with respect to the state economy.

“New York State abounds with an amazing

diversity of freshwater fishing opportunities in each of our 62 counties,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said in a statement. “From remote Adirondack brook trout ponds and streams, to trophy Chinook salmon fishing on Lake Ontario, our state offers some of the finest fishing in North America. Feedback from anglers is critical in helping DEC better manage the state’s freshwater fisheries, and I ask that every angler who receives an invitation to participate in the survey.”

Unlike past surveys that have been conducted using a questionnaire delivered through the U.S. Postal Service, this survey will primarily utilize emails sent to a sample of license buyers, directing the recipients to an online survey questionnaire.

Survey questionnaires will also be mailed to a smaller group of anglers to allow for comparison of the two survey methods.

Emails inviting anglers to participate and mailed survey questionnaires will be distributed during January 2018, and anglers are strongly encouraged to participate in the survey. Results of the survey will be provided in spring 2019.

For information on DEC’s 2007 angler survey, visit dec.ny.gov/outdoor/56020.html ■

Through the enormous generosity of area businesses and residents, the Knights were able to deliver Christmas meals to one-hundred three seniors and families in the Townships of Black Brook and Jay. Perhaps even more heartwarming than the kindness displayed by our gracious donors was the joy expressed by those who - absent the generosity of others – may not have enjoyed such a special Christmas-day meal.

We are choosing not to list names of those we know donated because we would fail to recognize those who dropped off food donations anonymously. We commend each and every donor, however. Through your actions, you have demonstrated the charity and kindness that so exemplify the meaning of Christmas.

May God bless you abundantly for your kindness and generosity!

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Let the good times roll

I doubt Sun Community News and Printing will never be confused with a Fortune 500 company.

We are a small familyBy Dan Alexander owned firm operating in • PUBLISHER • rural America with a small staff and tight budget.

But we are proud to join the growing number of companies large and small who see reason for optimism on the horizon, not just for our publishing enterprise, but our employees, customers and communities.

To date, hundreds of firms employing millions of employees will be receiving bonuses, raises, expansions and retirement increases rising from the recently passed federal tax reform, according to Americans for Tax Reform.

We are pleased to add our modest announcement to others you’ve recently heard for national firms.

All of our hourly and most of the salaried employees will realize a long-overdue pay increase averaging out to approximately $1,000 for each employee.

To start the year, we also announced we would be able to return contributing to their Individual Retirement Accounts after a four-year absence.

The combined cash value to our employees will be approximately $85,000.

That number will be combined with their tax reduction to put valuable funds back into the local economy.

We’ve also made several software and equipment commitments for the coming year to enhance our production capabilities and simplify some tasks for our dedicated team.

Weathering the last few years has not been easy given the state of the economy. We’ve been able to maintain our competitive edge without massive layoffs, bone-cutting cutbacks, or prolonged employee furloughs as we’ve seen other media companies employ.

We’ve had to watch every penny and haven’t had the luxury of any frills, keeping our heads down and focused on maintaining a valuable service to our readers and advertising customers.

Economic downturns are never a welcome occurrence. There are valuable lessons to be learned when you go through them that hopefully make your organization stronger, the staff more committed to the mission at hand and recognizing the value of good customers, many of whom deal with the same issues we face.

Together we are all better equipped for the future and hope to reap the benefits of a stronger economy.

Small business has long been recognized as the heart of the American economy. The Sun has been proud to be a part of America’s grassroots, and we are equally pleased to be in the position of sharing our good fortune with the many quality people who’ve made careers with our hometown firm. ■

From the Editorial board

World University Games is a great idea — but must benefit everyone Locking in a third Olympic Games for Lake Placid has long been a goal of regional cheerleaders, who have chased the idea for years.

The Olympics is an indelible part of our collective legacy. But we’ve always rolled our eyes at the prospects for a three-peat.

So much has changed since 1980, and the region is ill-equipped to host a third installment, namely due to the extent to which the Olympic Games have evolved over the past four decades into a global force.

Officials expect to sell 1.17 million tickets to next month’s 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea, and anticipate 100,000 visitors per day, according to USA Today.

The High Peaks, in contrast, struggles to accommodate the influx of hikers during the summertime boom months.

Hosting upwards of one million visitors might be a stretch.

But cheerleaders have thankfully put those Olympic-sized dreams on the backburner, dialing back those ambitions in favor of smaller-scale events that are more attainable.

Lake Placid has been tapped to host both the 2019 International Children’s Games and the 2021 Bobsled and Skeleton World Championships.

The golden ticket is the 2023 World University Games.

The Adirondack North Country Global Sports Committee earlier this month formally submitted a bid for the event.

While projected visitation numbers aren’t in, the World University Games — also known as the FISU Winter Universiade — is smaller than its Olympian counterpart, both in terms of athlete participation and visitation.

Letters

U.S. cannot survive without an honest media

To the Editor: In this publication, I have read more than one letter slamming the president for his calling out inaccurate reporting. The writers seem to be more worried about the attacks than the lack of honest reporting.

I’m not talking about honest mistakes we all make. I’m talking about the twisting of facts to make them say what the media and those that support them want to hear.

This has been a constant since Trump was elected.

One example: President Trump’s inaugural speech.

I don’t usually listen to them, but this one I did. What I heard

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has promised state support, and officials from the International University Sports Federation (FISU) will visit Lake Placid to kick the tires at the end of the month.

A decision is expected to be made later this year after local officials venture to Switzerland to make their pitch directly to FISU brass.

Stakeholders have touted the benefits of the hosting the event.

In addition to the feel-good vibes of being back on the global radar, officials have said they aim to use the Winter Universiade as an economic development tool to construct affordable housing and remedy parking problems, two of the biggest infrastructure problems facing the community.

Stakeholders have chipped in about $300,000 for the application, and hosting the event could cost up to $35 million, according to organizers.

While details are still hazy, officials say this number will be offset by athlete fees, ticket sales and television rights, among other revenue streams.

We support the 2023 World University Games — the local economy could use all the help it can get — but critics have also brought up some valid concerns, namely when it comes to accountability, the prospects of drifting costs, taxpayer risks and the overall permanent benefit to the community.

A public meeting is scheduled to be held on Wednesday in Lake Placid, after this edition went to print.

It’s unlikely all of those questions will be answered then, but we can assume this will be the beginning of a long and transparent dialogue between organizers and the community.

and what was reported about the speech were not even close. I have yet to hear honest reporting about any of his speeches from CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, et cetera.

The president has never called for the forced shutting down of the media that I know of.

But during the 2016 presidential election cycle, I did hear Hillary Clinton call for gutting the First Amendment because the Democrats did not like one of the Supreme Court’s decisions (Citizen’s United, 2010).

The media has a lot bigger problem than the president attacking them.

Less than 25 percent of people polled trust the mainstream media. Th is has nothing to do with Trump. Th is was in play before him.

It’s important organizers keep the public appraised throughout every step of the process.

And we think the local working class population should benefit more than just a temporary part-time job, or from the shine rubbed off from a brush with the limelight, but rather from long-term effects that will measurably improve their lives.

Affordable housing is a big one. So is creating a market for new businesses that will last long after the final athlete and celebrity has departed.

Organizers should also use this to leverage as much investment for local infrastructure projects as possible to lower the tax burden for local residents.

Measures should also be taken to expand the event’s impact beyond just the High Peaks.

Plattsburgh and Clinton County will stand to benefit as the Plattsburgh International Airport is expected to be the main portal of arrival for a steady stream of visitors, dignitaries, fans and other VIPs. But organizers should also bring southern Essex and northern Warren counties into the fold, regions that often feel neglected in the shadow of their neighboring tourism superpowers.

Despite the glamour that will come with the Winter Universiade, the region faces innumerable problems, and for many of us, living here is little more than experiencing poverty with a view — to steal a line common amongst rural tourist-driven economies that cater to the affluent.

So as the region marches toward the event of a generation, it should benefit everyone — not just the privileged few.

Where we, through our elected officials, chose to spend our collective resources serves as a testament to what we value.

Jones introduces bill to aid recovering addicts Legislation would give tax breaks to businesses that hire addicts in recovery

able concern hiring someone in treatment.

This program would provide an incentive in the form of a tax credit that I am hopeful will help, and it would be run through OASAS, who have the expertise to know which clients are ready for the responsibility of a job.”

STATE BACKING

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Assemblyman D. Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) has introduced legislation that would allow businesses to claim a tax credit for hiring recovering addicts from state-certified rehab facilities.

The Recovery in Jobs Act would provide businesses with a tax credit up to 35 percent of the first $6,000 in first-year wages for each qualified employee.

The bill is modeled after existing legislation that allows businesses to get tax credits by hiring veterans or people with disabilities.

“It’s not a big break, but it’s something that helps businesses,” Jones said.

Despite beginning the road to recovery, the majority of addicts are often not considered worthy applicants in the workforce, according to a news release from the assemblyman’s office.

By gaining steady employment during the recovery process, individuals are more likely to complete their recovery and maintain a sober, healthy lifestyle.

“It sends a signal that we’re serious about combating this epidemic in the North Country,” he said.

Partnered with this proposed amendment to the state tax law, Jones secured $20,000 for Champlain Valley Family Services to support their Substance Abuse and Prevention of Clinton County (SPARCC) coalition, a local group of former and current lawmakers, law enforcement, public health, faith and business officials dedicated to combating the opioid epidemic in the tri-county area.

The current opioid epidemic is the deadliest drug crisis in American history, killing

BRIEFS Free Lake Placid hikes slated

LAKE PLACID | This winter the Adirondack Mountain Club is teaming up with the Uihlein Foundation to offer free naturalist walks once a month at the Heaven Hill Trails on Bear Cub Lane, just outside of the Village of Lake Placid. Participants should be prepared for a 1-2 mile walk in winter conditions.

Snowshoes or micro-spikes will be provided if needed. Community hikes are on the last Saturday of every month, at 2 p.m., through March. For more information, call 518-523-3441 or visit adk.org. ■

Assemblyman D. Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) has introduced legislation that would give businesses a tax break for hiring recovering addicts from state-certified rehab facilities.

Jones made the announcement at a SPARCC coalition meeting on Jan. 10. Pictured are Champlain Valley Family Center Executive Director Connie Wille, United Way of the Adirondacks Director John Bernardi, Jones, Northeast Group CEO Michael Carpenter and Behavioral Health Services North Chief of Services Peter Trout.

Locally, there have been 72 confirmed accidental overdose cases in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and St. Lawrence counties since 2010, according to Jones’ office.

Nearly 5,500 deaths were recorded statewide.

The crisis has also led to upticks in hospital visits over the last 10 years.

The number of opioid-related inpatient stays has risen by 64.1 percent from 2005 to 2014, according to materials provided by Jones’ office.

Opioid-related visits to emergency rooms increased by 99.4 percent during that same time period. “(The state) needs to play a big role in (combatting) this,” Jones told The Sun at a SPARCC meeting on Jan. 10, noting that Gov. Andrew Cuomo had addressed the crisis multiple times in his State of the State speech earlier this month. “We need to put both our resources and our money where our mouth is.”

COMMUNITY REACTS

Michael Carpenter, president and CEO of

the Northeast Group, a Plattsburgh-based warehousing and distribution company, praised Jones for the proposed legislation.

“We’re employers, we’re looking to make money,” Carpenter said. “So this is going to help us.”

Behavioral Health Services North Chief of Services Peter Trout, a member of SPARCC, said that the funding Jones secured for the group would allow them to push forward.

“We really need funding to keep this thing going forward,” he said. “(Jones’) funding will help pay dividends.”

SPARCC plans to ramp up anti-opioid education efforts this year, both in local schools and through community events like the “Chasing the Dragon” screening at the Strand Center for the Arts last year.

State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) said she will introduce a companion bill and work to build support for it in the Senate.

“For addicts on the road to recovery, a job provides structure, purpose, a sense of accomplishment and validation they are moving in the right direction,” said Little in a statement.

Keith’s Corner

Religion and politics

You know the saying. There are two things that should not be mixed: Religion and politics.

By Keith Lobdell Yet I saw that • COLUMNIST • happen in the past couple weeks in, of all places, an obituary — thus combining death, religion and politics.

The New York Times obituary was for Thomas S. Monson, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, who passed away at 90 years old.

The focus of the obituary was more about the policies of the church and less about the man who had served as its president and prophet since 2008.

It focused on highly-debated political issues, such as LGBTQ acceptance and female roles within the church, instead of a review of the life of Monson and who the man was.

That’s not what an obituary should be, as far as I’m concerned.

In responding to a Change.org petition, which received over 170,000 signatures to have the obituary retracted and replaced, Obituaries Editor William McDonald said: “It’s our obligation as journalists, whether in an obituary or elsewhere, to fully air these issues from both sides.”

McDonald is absolutely right when you’re talking about a news article, where all aspects of a life or issue can and should be addressed.

An obituary is not a news story, though. It should be public recording of a person’s life.

It should contain the facts of a person’s life and not their perceived stance on certain topics.

Are we going to start politicizing presidential obituaries? If a deceased president does not meet the level of a certain media outlet, is it fair for them to write an unflattering obituary, as well?

Of course not.

Trust me, as a member of the church, I know there are “hot-button issues” and I have no problem talking about them, and people’s beliefs. They should be talked about, especially if coming from people who know nothing about the church.

These issues are important and these issues can and will continue to be presented in stories and features throughout the nation and world.

But can’t we let a person rest in peace and not give them a kick in the butt on the way out the door? ■

Trade spat may raise newsprint prices U.S. Commerce Department issues decision to slap tariffs on imported newsprint

for domestic consumers,” said U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in a statement.

Enforcement of U.S. trade law is a prime focus of the Trump administration, and antidumping and countervailing duty investigations by the U.S. Commerce Department have risen 52 percent in the past year.

‘STUNNED’

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | An escalating trade dispute between the U.S. and Canada has newspaper leaders rattled over a new tariff that may drive up costs for an already struggling industry.

The U.S. Department of Commerce issued a preliminary decision last week to impose tariffs on the newsprint used by newspapers and book publishers nationwide.

The measure, which would impose tariffs of up to 10 percent of the import of uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, is a result of a petition brought before the International Trade Administration by the North Pacific Paper Company (NORAC) in 2017.

“What the U.S. uncoated groundwood papers industry wants is a level playing field, and this decision is an important step forward for American producers, workers and their families that have been the victims of unfair Canadian trade practices for too long,” said NORAC CEO Craig Anneberg in a statement.

The Washington-based company claims Canadian paper is cutting into their business, and that the country’s newsprint was unfairly subsidizing its industry at home.

“Today’s preliminary decision allows U.S. producers to receive relief from the marketdistorting effects of potential government subsidies while taking into account the need to keep groundwood paper prices affordable

The print sector quickly mobilized and vowed to fight what it says will likely will lead to job losses in the publishing, commercial printing and paper industries, which employ 600,000 people nationwide.

Many publishers argue they’re ill-equipped to absorb the unbudgeted costs, and are already struggling with declining advertising and subscription revenues.

Fees may also be raised for readers — while other small-town papers may see their paperthin margins narrowed even further, jeopardizing their existence.

“We are stunned that a single U.S. mill in Longview, WA has been able to manipulate the trade laws to their gain, while potentially wreaking financial havoc on newspapers and other commercial publishers across the country,” said News Media Alliance President and CEO David Chavern in a statement.

LOCAL IMPACTS

Newspapers have lost roughly 30 percent of their print subscriber base over the past decade, according to the New York Press Association.

The decline is not due to unfair trade, but rather a decade-long shift from print to digital, Chavern said, and the new duties may hasten the industry’s downturn.

Sun Community News is among the local newspapers that will be impacted.

“It’s not a matter of choice, it’s something we have to live with,” said Publisher Dan Alexander.

Alexander declined to disclose exact numbers,

as the Elizabethtown-based newspaper company is still evaluating the new details.

But the cumulative increase to print costs when paired with two previous tariff increases will be about 15 percent, he said.

Bloomberg reported a metric ton of newsprint cost about $570 as of Dec. 26, according to FOEX Indexes Ltd., a provider of global pulp and paper data.

“The good thing for our readers is we don’t charge them for the paper, so this is a cost we’re going to have to absorb, which we are in a position to do right now as a result of the strong advertising support we are receiving from the community​,” Alexander said.

The U.S. Department of Commerce placed an overall tariff of 6.53 percent on about 25 Canadian plants, mostly in Quebec and Ontario, according to CBC News.

Alexander noted the final tariff isn’t set in stone, and the U.S. Commerce Department will make another decision this spring before making a final decision in May. “​​If an arrangement is agreed upon, publishers might realize a refund​, so we don’t want to act hastily,” Alexander said.

Anneberg said he understands the concerns by newspaper publishers, but strongly disagrees with the notion that their industry requires “lowpriced, government-subsidized, imported newsprint from Canada to sustain its business model.”

“High-quality journalism in communities across the country should not depend on unfairly traded inputs that cause material injury to a U.S. industry and American jobs,” Anneberg said. “We estimate the impact this ruling would have on the cost to produce the average printed newspaper would be less than 5 cents per newspaper – a small price to pay to preserve American manufacturing jobs.”

The U.S. International Trade Commission will be asked to rule on the two measures in August.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will begin collecting estimated countervailing duties for Canadian newsprint imported on or after approximately Jan. 16, according to the NYPA.

STEFANIK SPEAKS OUT

A coalition of federal lawmakers has spoken out against the new duties, including U.S. Reps. Brian Higgins and Elise Stefanik, who issued a joint statement citing concerns over costs for consumers and potential job cuts for employees of newspaper and book publishers.

“My district is home to a thriving local press corps that would be unfairly burdened by these costs, harming local journalism and the families across my district that rely on these important organizations,” said Stefanik in a statement.

Stefanik and Higgins joined a bipartisan coalition of 34 House members and 8 U.S. Senators asking the U.S. Commerce Department to “carefully investigate the issue, and consider the negative impact the decision would have on the U.S. newspaper and commercial printing industries, as well as the overall U.S. paper manufacturing industry.

North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry Douglas called the tariffs “the latest example of a failure to understand our own interests in the context of the U.S.Canadian economic partnership.”

“We need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot by treating Canada like China,” Douglas told The Sun in an email. “Our economic partnership with Canada is the single greatest force in the North Country economy and holds our greatest opportunities for the future.”

The spat marks the latest in a growing rift between the two neighbors, joining protectionist trade policies against milk and dairy imports as a chief dispute affecting producers in New York state. ■ To read this story in its entirety, visit suncommunitynews.com

Making space for innovation

Engineer, entrepreneur Jeff Allott talks with APA about light manufacturing in the Adirondack Park

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

RAY BROOK| Adirondack Park Agency commissioners last week welcomed a clear and experienced local business voice discuss the future of manufacturing in the Champlain Valley.

Jeff Allott, a design engineer and co-founder of General Composites, recently established a five-company maker space in Westport.

He shared insights last Thursday into the cooperative’s experience with light manufacturing enterprise that has evolved there.

All of it is connected to outdoor adventure, rural economics, tourism and the Ad-

irondack environment.

Appropriate manufacturing inside the park, he said, balances production with environmental protection and sustainable futures.

ORIGINS OF A MAKER SPACE

Allott shared how a five-company cooperative emerged out of common interests and machines, somewhat incidentally, at 6588 Main (HQ ) on Main Street in Westport.

The building housed General Composites before moving to Willsboro a few years ago.

Allott sold General Composites in 2010, but kept the Main Street property in Westport.

“I figured I better keep a facility just in case,” Allott said, describing how difficult it is to find reasonably priced maker space in the rural Adirondacks.

The 8,000-square-foot facility contains five manufacturing spaces and seven offices with common services.

The seven collaborative members, he said, includes Jade Mountain Inc., Allott’s latest full-fabrication shop, which is now working on several innovative projects inspired by

FIDELIS

the local landscape, including collapsible fly rods, solar composters and sliding snowshoes.

Courtney Fair Furniture, a woodworking shop for custom furnishings and kitchens added wood trades to 6588 Main (HQ ) Barnboy Skis creator Rick Causey designs and manufactures custom, hand-built downhill skis.

Mosaic Films filmmaker Aaron Woolf occupies another section of the building.

And Erin Hall Studio brought in a graphic design, architecture, textile manufacturing and sewn products component to the maker collective.

They’re each unique with compatible parts.

Allott parked some 6588 Main (HQ ) products, including a Solace bicycle, in APA’s meeting room.

“These are all things that are made in Westport right now,” he said.

“We’ve got this collaboration going on.”

It grew as everybody started helping each other.

And that ad hoc alliance gave rise to several new enterprises.

With Solace Cycles, Allott and Fair, who

are both avid mountain bikers, recognized a manufacturing niche here and blended fabrication and design skills.

Their product is still in the demo mode, Allott said, looking at 2018 as the first year to fill orders.

MOUNTAIN BIKING PROSPECTS

With Wolff, Allott just founded another new enterprise, one connected to both the landscape and community resources in Elizabethtown, their hometown.

“Working with Aaron, we stumbled on property (for sale) adjacent to the Blueberry mountain bike trails,” Allott said.

Blueberry trails in Elizabethtown have developed extensively over the past decade, he said.

“We closed on (the land) Dec. 29,” Allott said of their plan to add 350 acres to the Elizabethtown trail system.

In addition to unique bike experiences, the business plans to build alternative tourist lodging for mountain bike travelers in an enterprise they’ve named EMBR: the Elizabethtown Mountain Bike Ranch.

What’s important in collaborative, incubator space, Allott said, is its flexible layout with both individual and common resources. The mix can generate natural alliance between entrepreneurs.

Connections at 6588 Main (HQ ) grew organically from commons interests and shared goals, in a sense, from the inside-out.

Manufacturing incubators can pull artisans, engineers, designers and craftspeople together in an affordable, creative environment, he said.

The mix cannot be defined by formulaic development constraints.

“Improper planning can choke the livelihood out of a beautiful area,” Allott said.

Emphasis on technical aspiration, too, allows incubators to offer something tangible to young and new talent, something more than income: innovation.

“It would be great to have one (maker space) in every town throughout the park,” Allott said.

But finding the right space, he said, is tough.

“A 25,000 or 15,000 square foot facility set up with a large, common technical area,” is ideal, he said. ■ To read this story in its entirety, visit suncommunitynews.com

Schulz brothers earn spots in elite Nordic races

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

LAKE PLACID | The brothers who led the Lake Placid Blue Bombers to NYSPHSAA state Nordic championships are making a name for themselves on the international stage.

Karl and Scotty Schulz, both former state combined champions, earned spots to compete in international events in Europe at the end of the month representing the New York Ski Educational Foundation (NYSEF).

“I knew I wanted to make World Juniors, so I had to land a first, second, or at the very least a third place finish,” said Karl Schulz, who placed second in the Juniors Division of the U.S. Nationals junior sprint races held in Anchorage, Alaska, between Jan. 2-7.

“After not making the heats at Junior Nationals last year… I knew I had to push through the sprint and I did,” he added.

With the podium finish, along with a fourth place finish in the 10K Classic and an 11th in the 15K freestyle, Karl will travel to Goms, Switzerland, where he will compete in the World Junior Championships, after having qualified in the top six in both U18 and U20 athletes internationally.

For Scott, a third place finish in the U18 sprint race clinched a spot in the U18 Scandinavian Championships to be held in Finland.

He also placed 10th in the 15K Classic and

Karl (left) and Scott Schulz (right) will compete in separate international Nordic ski meets at the end of this month. Both are former individual state champions for the Lake Placid Nordic team and members of the NYSEF program.

Photos provided 16th in the 10K Classic in the U18 division.

“Going into this week of racing I was feeling strong, but traveling always wears you down,” Scott said. “I am definitely leaving Alaska on a great note. For the rest of the season, my goal is to become a smarter classic racer and also kill it in Europe.”

The Schulz boys have been the backbone of the Lake Placid Nordic program which has won the past two state team championships.

Karl was the 2015 combined state champion, winning the individual classic and teaming with Scott for a win in the relay.

Scott followed with combined individual titles in 2016 and 2017, topping the podium in all but the 2017 individual classic, which was won by teammate Henry McGrew.

“I love racing with Scott, especially when he’s doing well,” Karl said of his younger brother.

“When I see him racing fast it fills me with pride and makes me want to race faster as well.”

“I think competing with my brother is more supportive than competitive,” Scott said. “During the skate sprint Karl is always the loudest person cheering, he leaves the venue with a raspy voice.”

NYSEF coach Shane McDowell said the boys definitely have the speed to compete on

the international stage, “Long story short, the boys are super-fast and will be representing the USA and NYSEF on the international stage,” MacDowell said.

“Not many young people can say they are the top athletes in the country in their sport. I am so happy for them and they stepped up.”

“Some of the top competitors of the week are headed to the Olympics,” said NYSEF Director of Communications Danielle LaCavalla.

“It is easy to say that the field was stacked with talent. The Schulz boys went to Alaska with a goal and accomplished it in all three events.” ■

Once greatest foe, Sherman returns to Chazy as coach www.suncommunitynews.com

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

Former Willsboro standout on pitch now heads Eagles on court

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

CHAZY | In 2011, the Chazy varsity boy’s soccer program lost their first home game on George Brendler Field to a Willsboro team led by Willsboro all-state striker Clay Sherman.

Sherman scored five goals on the Eagles that season, making him public enemy number one for Eagles’ fans and coaches.

Fast forward six-plus years later, and the Eagles and Sherman have crossed paths again, this time with Sherman leading the Chazy boy’s basketball team to the top half of the division standings this season.

“I was excited,” said Sherman about being approached to coach.

“I knew the athletic program in Chazy was one of the best in the area. I knew the kids at Chazy are extremely coachable and I wanted that chance to help make a difference in the program.”

Athletic Director Brian Norcross said he reached out to Sherman after speaking with Willsboro Athletic Director Michael Douglas.

“I knew he wanted to get into coaching so it was a good opportunity for someone who wanted to be a coach,” Norcross said. “I was very pleased Clay wanted to take on the role as head coach for Chazy.”

Still, the past had to be brought up at some point.

“Clay is legendary for being the man who handed us our first loss ever at George Brendler Field in MVAC or Class D,” Norcross said. “It was strange having him come back » Olympics Cont. from pg. 1 “Right now, there is not a lot we will change make too many adjustments,” Mazdzer said in a conference call from the Bavarian city of Koenigssee. “We are on an upward trend right now so we would like to keep the momentum we have.”

Mazdzer is the owner of 10 World Cup medals and has been the seven time national champion in luge. He has won gold in the 2014 sprint World Cup in Calgary, singles gold in 2015 World Cup event at Park City and in singles and relay at the 2015 World Cup event in Lake Placid. He has been ranked as high as fifth in the World Cup Standings.

For Remsen’s Erin Hamlin, this season is a farewell tour from the sport.

Chazy boy’s head coach Clay Sherman works on the sidelines against Westport last week. While Sherman is now a member of the Eagles program, he was previously known as one of the most lethal goal scorers to ever play against the eight-time state champion soccer program. Photo by Keith Lobdell and coaching us but it has been good.”

“We reminisce a little bit about the good times on my behalf,” Sherman said with a smile. “It’s nice to reflect with them and see how things have changed and where they are today.”

Mr. Norcross talked to us about it before hand, how good coach was when he played soccer against us,” guard Alex Chapman said.

“We knew a little bit,” center Kyle Cahoon said. “He was the guy that was the main reason we had lost for the first

“At some point, when the next season starts and I am watching, I may miss it and get bored,” Hamlin said. “Right now, my focus is to start to think about getting into the best shape possible and health heading into Korea.”

Hamlin, who was born in Hartford, is a fourtime Olympian who won a bronze medal in Sochi four years ago. She was the 2009 World Champion, and has scored 23 World Cup medals.

Luge events at the Olympic games begin Feb. 10-11 with men’s heat races, Feb. 12-12 with women’s heat races, doubles competition on Feb. 14 and the team relay competition Feb. 15, Following this week’s World Cup event in Oberhof, the pre-Olympic World Cup tour heads to Lillehammer and Sigulda prior to PyeongChang. ■

time at Brendler Field. We then looked up and saw how amazing he was at Plattsburgh State.”

Norcross believes it was the knowledge of Sherman’s former glory that has helped him transition into the new role.

“He has brought a lot of energy and I think the kids have a lot of respect for him because of the athlete he was and they knew of him,” he said. “Just being young and driven, the energy he has brought in has been the biggest thing.”

“He takes practice very seriously and we work a lot on defense,” Chapman said. “It is definitely paying off.”

“He is a really good mentor and he teaches us a lot about mental toughness,” Cahoon added. “He keeps us in line and makes us a better player and keeps us together as a team.”

In turn, Sherman’s knowledge of the Chazy program and players also helped him with the adjustment.

“I knew I would have athletes,” he said. “I was not sure the system they were playing before and their basketball knowledge. That’s a passion of mine and I want to coach and I want to teach the game to these kids. If I have kids that are athletic and coachable, I knew we would have higher expectations as we go throughout the season.”

Sherman said the team has been able to go from a defense-first team to one learning more about the offensive aspects of the game, scoring wins against Westport, Elizabethtown-Lewis and Keene in the first half of the season.

“Earlier in the season our offense came from the transition game but now that we have our grip on defense we can focus more on our half court sets and the X’s and O’s,” he said.”

“It’s been a fun experience because we went from being the underdogs and now we are starting to move up the ladder and put other teams on notice that we are starting to play at a higher level,” Cahoon said. ■

» Forest tax Cont. from pg. 1 “Unfortunately, conversion of private forests to non-forest uses like subdividing the land for development as well as unsustainable, exploitive ‘value liquidation harvests’ remain a concern in New York state,” the report reads.

These practices, the report continues, “negatively impact tree species diversity and long-term economic value of the land, and leave genetically inferior trees standing — and are, in large part, caused by the pressure of high property taxes.”

The Empire Forests for the Future Initiative contains a six-point platform for boosting enrollment.

The provisions include lessening administrative burdens, expanding eligibility to include both 25-acre parcels and open land, establishing grant programs and providing financial relief to local governments who are “significantly impacted” by the program.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

By expanding access and reducing bureaucratic hurdles for entry, more forest landowners will be encouraged to enroll in the program, advocates say.

John Bartow, executive director of Empire State Forest Products Association (ESFPA), called it a “win-win” for both owners and the state.

“The current program overburdens property owners with cumbersome regulations and excessively complex requirements for participation,” Bartow said in a statement.

ESFPA is joined by local and national environmental groups who argue good forestry practices aid in mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration.

Cuomo has made thwarting changes in

www.suncommunitynews.com

federal policy a centerpiece of his administration since President Trump took office a year ago this week — including rollbacks to environmental safeguards.

“As the federal government fails to take the lead in enacting proactive policies to combat climate change, we have a moral obligation to do what we can at the state and local level,” said Jessica Ottney Mahar, policy director of The Nature Conservancy in New York, in a statement.

She called reforming the law a “forwardlooking way for New York to do its part and have our forest landowners mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon and putting their land to work, to the benefit of both themselves and their communities.”

The business sector has also signed on, citing the economic benefits to the forest industry, which employs 60,000 New Yorkers who receive over $2.5 billion in annual wages, according to The Business Council of New York State.

“The future of those jobs is connected to the continued maintenance and viability of our forest lands,” said Darren Suarez, director of government affairs for The Business Council of New York State, in a statement.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

ties, said healthy forests support the biomass industry, a job generator in the North Country.

But restrictions to entering the program, said Assemblyman D. Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay), dissuade forest owners from accessing the benefits of the existing law.

Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) was more cautious.

“Maintaining private forest lands as working forest is good for both the environment and our North Country economy,” Stec told The Sun in an email. “I support modifying 480 / 480-a to further achieve this goal.”

But, he said: “It is important that any change hold our local taxpayers harmless as it is all New Yorkers who benefit for the maintenance of these private forest lands.”

COSTS UNKNOWN

State Senator Betty Little (R-Queensbury) supports the reforms.

“Over the years, we have created tremendous initiatives to support the conservation of publicly-owned forests in New York, and the time is ripe for us to address the private forest lands that make up 75 percent of the forest lands in the state,” Little said in a statement.

Assemblywoman Addie A.E. Jenne, who represents St. Lawrence and Jefferson coun-

Local government officials want to ensure tax deductions are not shifted onto the backs of local taxpayers and become another unfunded mandate.

“We in local government recognize the importance of the forest industry, and recognize the importance of supporting it — not only the economic benefits, but the jobs, and what those jobs will bring to the community,” Adirondack Local Government Review Board Chairman Jerry Delaney told The Sun. “The concern is we don’t know what it’s going to cost, and we don’t feel as if we should bear that cost.”

The Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages (AATV) maintains a similar stance.

Any reform should hold individual municipalities harmless from seeing shifts to other property taxpayers and from having to shoulder additional administrative costs or burdens, said Hamilton County Board of Supervisors

The first phase was to have the students conduct a genealogy research project that would allow them to have a personal connection to historical events and places in Keeseville.

The project will be continually referenced as students move on to learning the historical geography, economy and government of Keeseville, as well as the factors that impacted these areas, said Keeseville Elementary Principal Kevin Hulbert.

The genealogy project required the students

to include two photos of ancestors, two historical documents, an interview with an ancestor, a historic map and a technology component.

“The students have really enjoyed this project from the start and have learned a tremendous amount, not only about their own family history but also research techniques, presentation skills and using primary documents,” Hulbert said.

The students showcased their work on Tuesday, Nov. 28, the day this edition went to print.

STATE LAWMAKERS ENDORSE

Chairman Bill Farber, an AATV member.

“Since it is a state benefit and a state program, individual taxing jurisdictions must be made whole for lost revenues or any cost of administration,” Farber told The Sun. “With that said — and assuming that the program meets those two criteria, as (former AATV President) Brian (Towers) was consistently assured would be the case — AATV stands strongly behind our private property owners,” Farber said.

NEXT STEPS

Cuomo is scheduled to unveil 2018 budget details on Tuesday, hours after this story went to print.

Ottney said the group is “hopeful” that the legislation will be in the budget bills.

The estimated cost for the reforms to 480-a are around $3 million, a “modest amount” considering the significance of the impact, she said.

It remains unclear how much the state would put towards grant programs for private landowners and other measures outlined in last year’s raft of proposals — and if the reform even remains a priority.

While the governor’s 2018 agenda book contains numerous environmental proposals — including efforts to boost clean energy production, fight toxic algal blooms in upstate lakes and put the brakes on rail car storage in the Adirondacks — forest tax reform was not mentioned in the 2018 agenda.

A spokesman for the governor did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

The DEC also did not respond for comment.

The state has until March 31 to hammer out a budget. ■

Keeseville Elementary students dive into genealogy Students complete year-long journey into local history

KEESEVILLE | In conjunction with the Sons of the American Revolution, fifth graders at Keeseville Elementary have completed the first phase of a year-long study in local history.

Hulbert shared a quote from Abe Lincoln that he said really exemplifies the spirit of the project: I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.

“It aims to foster individual and collective pride in one’s community through its history, so that students will act in such a way as to have their community be proud of them,” Hulbert said. “I can tell you that we are very proud of them.” ■

Charles D. Smith

WILLSBORO | Charles D. Smith passed away peacefully in his sleep on Jan. 9, 2018. He was 88.

He was born in Rochester to Henry and Beatrice Smith.

Graduated as a BS ChE from the University of Rochester and married to Carol in 1950.

They actively moved around the country following his jobs at Allied Chemical/Honeywell with an extended stop in Moundsville/Glen Dale WV, where many of his closest friendships were formed.

They finally settled in Parsippany, New Jersey in 1968 when he was transferred to corporate headquarters.

Charles was a loving husband and father who always put his family first, assuring their comfort and success with his guidance and love. He supported their needs and taught them the lessons needed to be successful in life. He was very proud of his children and the fact that they all achieved advanced degrees.

With Carol, they kept the family close even as it grew and

the children established homes of their own. He loved to socialize with family and friends always looking for opportunities to connect with his network wherever they traveled.

They loved spending time at their summer residence in Willsboro on Lake Champlain and often wintered in Marco Island, Florida.

In his leisure time he enjoyed boating, fishing, traveling, bridge, and working on a never ending array of projects around their homes.

He is predeceased by his loving wife of 66 years, Carol, and his brothers Elwin and Jack Smith.

He is survived by three sons, Dr. Charles D. Smith, Jr. (wife Linda) of Parsippany, New Jersey, David Smith (wife Yolanda) of Rochester and Richard Smith (wife Jenny) of Manalapan; one daughter, Jenny Barbor (husband Reid) of Buckhannon, West Virginia; and one brother, Henry (Joe) of Tampa, Florida.

He is also survived by his seven grandchildren; Laura, Michael, Melissa, Kaitlyn and Trevor Smith, Carly Mriscin, Robert Barbor; and five great-grandchildren, Julian, Bela, Anthony, Sophia, and Flora.

A memorial service was held on Jan. 13 at the Bailey Funeral Home, 176 Main St., Peapack, New Jersey.

For those desiring, donations to the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Cancer Society or the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation would be appreciated. ■

Rick Preston, director of rehabilitation and sports medicine at Adirondack Health, recently presented Lake Placid/ Wilmington Connection Youth & Communities Coalition Director Jason Leon with a check for $9,000 raised through the Lake Placid Classic, an annual half-marathon and 10k footrace held in October.
