FOR STEFANIK, BIPARTISANSHIP IS A CHOICE — AND SO IS CRAFTING SOLUTIONS TO GRIDLOCK

SARANAC LAKE TREATMENT CENTER NETS $450K State investment will expand 24/7 access to addiction treatment services, add 10-bed detox in Saranac Lake SARANAC LAKE | The St. Joseph’s Addiction Recovery Center, a Saranac Lake-based substance abuse treatment facility, was awarded $450,000 from the state Office of Alcoholism and Substance

Lawmaker touts proactive record as she heads into fourth year in oﬃce By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Hyper-partisanship appears to be the new normal as the U.S. seems more divided than ever, a measure fueled by a bombastic president who relishes in upending all political conventions. Gallup reported last August the widening gulf between the views of Republicans and Democrats is one of the most “significant trends” to emerge in U.S. society in the past two decades. But at the same time, the polling agency revealed 54 percent of Americans want politicians to compromise to get things done, which outpaces the 18 percent who would prefer that leaders stick to their beliefs. There are bipartisan voices in Washington, said Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro). “But it’s a choice you make as an elected official whether you’re committed to coming up with those solutions,” Stefanik told The Sun. » Stefanik Cont. on pg. 5

The funding will allow St. Joseph’s to expand their Saranac Lake facility; adding 10-bed detox, inpatient services and 24-7 access to treatment options. “We have an outpatient clinic now, but we’ll be moving into a colocated building and expanding staff to serve more clients,” St. Joseph’s CEO Bob Ross told The Sun. » St. Joseph’s Cont. on pg. 5

Cuomo rolls out lodging study at renovated Hotel Saranac Study will aim to ﬁll the gaps in regional lodging By Pete DeMola EDITOR

SARANAC LAKE | Gov. Andrew Cuomo touched down in Saranac Lake on Saturday to announce a $13 million lodging feasibility study designed to drive investment in the region. Hotspots like Lake Placid have ample

lodging, but the lack of facilities elsewhere put outlying areas at a competitive disadvantage, the governor said. “It will tell us exactly what we need where to make sure we have the facilities everywhere to make every area a competitive tourist destination,” Cuomo said. Empire State Development (ESD) will commission the eight-week study to identify development opportunities throughout the Adirondack Park and Thousand Islands. Capital funds have been allocated in this year’s budget through the Regional Economic Development Councils and the Upstate Revitalization Initiative. The funds come after the North

Country Regional Economic Development Council (NCREDC) convened a lodging task force last year to explore a model for successful lodging development as a source of sustainable tourism. The NCREDC flagged those issues as a top priority to complement state and regional efforts to attract international tourism and sporting events. Local officials have long said the outlying regions of the Adirondacks lack modern lodging options, a measure that hampers long-term visitation and shuttles tourist dollars out of communities, particularly those in southern Essex County.

For pair of troopers, it’s love of the career Law enforcement runs deep for two of the state police’s newest troopers

because the classes she took with Buckley were appealing. “I kinda wanted to be like her,” Skelly added.

GROWING WITHIN

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

RAY BROOK | From the waters of the Pacific Ocean to the classroom of a caring mentor, two members of the newest class of New York State Police Academy graduates came from different backgrounds but had one thing in common: Both had a passion for helping others. “I genuinely like people and want to help in every way that I can,” said Trooper Kirsten Skelly, who has been stationed in Troop B. “It was about how you can affect peoples’ lives in a good way,” said Trooper Steven Mendelsohn, who is also stationed at Ray Brook. Mendelsohn, who graduated from Lake Placid High School, is the son of a pair of retired troopers as well as the younger brother of a trooper who works with the Special Operations Response Team. “When I was in high school, I didn’t think

Alaska, boarding and assisting the boats that you see on shows like ‘Deadliest Catch,’” he said. “As time went on, though, I remembered my parents had quite the career in the state police and my brother (Erik) was enjoying it, as well.” Meanwhile, Skelly was a student at SUNY Canton, always wanting to pursue a criminal justice career choice but not quite knowing where to turn. “I always knew it would be a law enforcement career, but didn’t think trooper,” she said. “I had a teacher, Susan Buckley, who told me the exam was coming up and I should take it.” Mrs. Buckley was a former 17-year member of the NYSP Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI). Skelly decided to take her advice

After their graduation on Jan. 31, the troopers reported to their first day on the job Feb. 5, where for the next 10 weeks they will be evaluated under a field-training program. Both rookies said they hope to further their careers with the state police. “Right now I want to learn as much as I can and go from there,” said Skelly, who had previously worked for the Vermont State Police in their Dive Recovery Unit. “With my previous experience, the state police has basically been what I expected,” she said. “The command structure is different because there are so many more people in New York, but the job itself is very similar.” “The dive program is something I may look in on,” said Mendelsohn. “I also want to look at the SORT Team my brother is on. There is a lot more to the state police then what people see. There are endless opportunities and people with different skills are needed.” Both said they would tell anyone who is interested in a law enforcement career to take the test. “This is the best job,” said Skelly. “It’s rewarding and it is different every day. You get to do a little bit of everything and I really think it is a fun job.” Troop B Public Information Officer Jennifer Fleishman said it is always nice to see the new faces out of the academy enter into the home of the Black Horse Troop. “It brings new life to headquarters for sure,” Fleishman said. “Everyone is so eager to help them become part of the Thin Gray Line. It’s great to see the wisdom that is shared by the field training officers and I think it brings a new life into them, as well.” ■

Adirondack moose count underway DEC estimates at least 400 moose currently reside in Adirondacks

or a fixed-wing aircraft over known habitats. Teams of four fly standardized survey routes and record every moose and deer seen along transects. “Although the total number of moose was less than anticipated at the start of our surveys, the population appears to be in good physical condition with many calves seen accompanying females each year,” said the agency.

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

- Moose can move each ear and each eye independently. - A moose’s home range varies from 5 to 50 square miles. - The average life span is 8 years for a cow, 7 years for a bull, though some may live 20 years. - Moose sleep on the ground, like deer, leaving beds of flattened vegetation, or depressions in the snow. - Moose can store over 100 pounds of food in their stomachs. - Each year, from April to August, bull moose grow a new set of antlers that can be as much as 4 to 5 feet wide and weigh 25-30 pounds.

Aerial surveys are conducted by helicopter in the deepest part of winter to ensure the best opportunities for sighting moose from the air. Flights are done with either a helicopter

TRACKING FATALITIES

DEC also tracks moose deaths. The black bear is the only significant predator in the Adirondacks, killing calves less than nine weeks old, according to the DEC moose report.

A bull moose in a wintry forest was spotted during state Department of Environmental Conservation moose survey flights last year. Photo provided/DEC

concern due to their unusual behavior, and Environmental Conservation Officers, DEC biologists, or local law enforcement are frequently called to the scene to evaluate a sick moose. “For years, biologists speculated that New York’s large white-tailed deer population with its attendant (brain worm) infections would limit the population growth of moose in the state; however, this has not happened.” Moose with brain worm may walk with an unsteady gait and they sometimes appear listless, fearless or appear deaf and blind. They may appear to be walking in circles, DEC says, or have an unusual head tilt or neck position. DEC’s Aerial Moose Survey is a cooperative project with SUNY-ESF, the Wildlife Conservation Society Adirondack Program and Cornell University’s Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit and Animal Health and Diagnostic Center. ■

But biologists here found that coyote may also occasionally kill moose calves. Collisions with vehicles pose a “significant threat” to the animals. The report reveals nine moose were killed in collisions with motor vehicles in 2017, down from 11 the previous year. “Moose are so tall that an automobile usually passes under the body, causing the moose to come over the hood into the windshield and onto the roof,” according to the report. “Their eyes are usually above the reach of car headlights. About one to two percent of moose/car collisions result in a human fatality.” A disease called brain worm prevalent in the white-tailed deer population in New York is fatal for moose and also to captive deer or elk, llama, alpaca, goats and sheep, DEC says. “(Brain worm) afflicted moose cause public

Moose have some pretty unique traits:

RAY BROOK| The state Department of Environmental Conservation has begun a third year count of the Adirondack moose population. Data collected will help inform population estimates and herd healt, according to a new report by the DEC. “So far a total of 72 moose groups and 131 individuals have been observed,” DEC said of their tally this winter. “Preliminary aerial survey findings suggest the population in the Adirondack Park is approximately 400 moose.” Partner programs at SUNY ESF’s Roosevelt Wildlife Station counted 397 moose last winter.

Hamlin leads Olympians in first full week

PYEONGCHANG, SOUTH KOREA | Erin Hamlin had a sixth place finish as the second day of women’s luge concluded Tuesday, Feb. 13, marking the end of the career of the Olympic medalist. “I was definitely going for it,” said the 2018 U.S. flag bearer from Remsen. “I really wanted to end on a good, solid run. The parts that I had issues with from the other runs, I did clean up. But unfortunately, the issue I had on that run was typical out of (curve) nine.” Hamlin went on to say she is pleased with her career, even though she ended on a tough fourth run. “I have no regrets. I do wish I was able to have four clean runs. I was disappointed in the fourth one. I was not able to capitalize on a really good opportunity. At the end of these races, anything can happen. It’s one of the closest Olympic races I’ve ever been in. It was really exciting and it would have been nice to capitalize on the situation. But I had fun. It was a good experience, and I’m ready to sleep a little bit.” On Feb. 15, Bronze medalist Chris Mazdzer helped the United States luge team slide to a fourth place finish. His time of 34.947 was fifth best among the men’s racers. “I felt pretty good about it (our time),” said Mazdzer, of Saranac Lake, who led the men’s field in reaction to the opening of the start gate. “The thing about this track is that there’s a lot of variability. People are messing up, but Canada, Austria and Germany came down with three awesome runs. So that’s something that’s really hard to beat. We were close, so close, but that’s racing here.”

BIATHLON

On Feb. 15, Tim Burke finished 41st in the 20K event, with four penalties on the rifle range, two coming in the final standing shot. Lowell Bailey finished 10 spots behind in 51st position, also having to ski four penalty laps with a pair of misses coming early on.

» St. Joseph’s Cont. from pg. 1 Addicts seeking inpatient treatment must now travel to Syracuse or Albany, a measure that creates a barrier to treatment, Ross said. “When (addicts) come and get an assessment, and it’s determined they need detox, they’ll already be there,” Ross said of the facility’s expansion. “That’s a huge improvement in access to service.” Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the funding as part of a larger $4 million investment in treatment centers around the state to develop round-the-clock access to treatment options for addicts seeking rehabilitation services. “Substance abuse knows no age, knows no income and knows no zip code in New York or across the nation,” Cuomo said in a statement. “With these around-the-clock Open Access Centers, we can provide critical services night and day to New Yorkers when they need it most.” Since 2010, there have been 72 confirmed accidental overdose cases in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and St. Lawrence counties. “Access to opioid addiction treatment and services can mean the difference between life or death,” Sen. George Amedore (R-Rotterdam), chair of the Senate Alcoholism and Substance

Abuse Committee, said in a statement. St. Joseph’s Addiction and Recovery has clinics in seven towns in four different counties. With help from this funding, staff will be on-hand around the clock in Saranac Lake to help with addiction treatment services. Staff will also be on-call to provide an immediate assessment and referral to the appropriate level of care, according to the governor’s office. “These new centers will make a significant impact in communities around our state by ensuring that anyone who needs services or interventions will be able to receive help right away, no matter the time or day of the week,” state Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services Commissioner Arlene González-Sánchez said in a statement. “They also provide the necessary responsive, compassionate assistance and support needed to help New Yorkers successfully start their recovery journeys.”

BATTLE AGAINST OPIATES CONTINUES

This recent $4 million investment joins a slew of other state and federal awards designed to combat the rising opioid epidemic. As recently as last September, $25.2 million in federal funding was geared toward adding treatment services in

DEEP ACCOMPLISHMENTS

LAWMAKERS HEAD FOR THE EXITS

Congress has seen a wave of retirements this cycle from veteran lawmakers who have said they’re tired of Capitol Hill’s constant dysfunction. High-profile Republican lawmakers who have announced their retirements include Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, chair of the House Oversight Committee; Rep. Darrell Issa of California, the committee’s former chair; Rep. Ed Royce of California, chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania. Many of the outgoing representatives are from moderate GOP districts, boosting Democratic hopes that 2018 will be a wave election year that will flip the House after more than a decade of Republican control. Democrats need 25 seats, and are claiming momentum based on recent special elections across the country, including state races in Virginia and New Jersey. And they hope an unpopular president and his policies will provide an additional accelerant. Stefanik, who counts House Speaker Paul Ryan as a close friend, admits the growing list of outgoing colleagues can be daunting,

“high-need counties” throughout the state. But it’s not enough, Ross said. “There have been increases in funding but those haven’t kept pace with the increase of the problem,” he said. “It’s getting worse each year.” To Ross, the most important piece of combating the opioid crisis is prevention. “Prevention allows people to address needs before it becomes an addiction,” he said. “Ultimately, prevention is critical in deterring that growth — and that’s community and school-based.” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) last month co-sponsored a series of bills designed to help combat the epidemic here. The bills include legislation that would allocate funding to hire specialists at veterans treatment courts, end a ban on Medicaid reimbursement for drug treatment for incarcerated addicts, crack down on “doctor shopping” for pain medications and expand access to medication-assisted treatment for pregnant and postpartum women, among others. The package also includes a bill that would require practitioners applying for DEA licenses to prescribe controlled substances to certify they will only prescribe in keeping with current best practice guidelines. ■

and economically from effective EPA sponsored research, we ask that you work with us to protect ongoing research and monitoring in the Adirondack Park so we never again return to the days of dead lakes and a dying forest,” Stefanik wrote in a letter to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt last December, citing concerns over the detrimental impact of smog on the local ecosystem. The lawmaker also voted against her party last July on a bill to delay the implementation of ozone standards, and sits on the Climate Solutions Caucus, which has offered a number of ideas to combat a growing threat the president has dismissed as a hoax.

“I’ve demonstrated that I am bipartisan.”

The lawmaker sailed through a variety of legislation she helped craft with bipartisan support, including year-round Pell Grants, the pre-clearance agreement between the U.S. and Canada and a raft of measures to aid military spouses. Stefanik has also proven adept at securing funds through the appropriations process, including for the Lake Champlain Basin Program, as well as a financial lifeline for numerous area hospitals as part of the budget deal signed earlier this month by President Donald Trump, including Adirondack Medical Center and Alice Hyde. “When there is so much gridlock, people are turning on their TVs and it seems that there continues to be partisan fights,” Stefanik said. “But I’ve been able to deliver results that have a real impact on this district.” The Lugar Center has ranked the secondterm lawmaker, who serves as co-chair of the moderate Tuesday Group, one of the most bipartisan members based on her voting record and the bills she has introduced. “I’m in the top 10 percent of the House and Senate combined, and that’s something that I’m really proud of,” Stefanik said. “We are focused on working with anybody regardless of their party affiliation if they have good ideas.” Stefanik, who is up for re-election this year, admitted she occasionally takes issue with how cable news covers Washington. “They focus on the divided issues,” Stefanik said. “The reality is 90 percent of the bills that we pass out of the House are bipartisan.” And despite Congress’ do-nothing reputation, Stefanik said the 115th Congress has passed over 400 pieces of legislation. “Some were Republican-only votes,” the lawmaker acknowledged, “but a lot are on suspension and get overwhelming support from Republicans and Democrats.”

The Valley News Sun | February 24, 2018 • 5

PROUD REPUBLICAN Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) said being bipartisan requires an active interest in crafting sustainable solutions. Photo provided and she’s discouraged when she watches yet another exit interview. “They look to younger members, though, and always tell me they’re hopeful, like, ‘You’re going to help fix this place.’ And I do think there is a generational difference in how Washington works,” said Stefanik, who is tasked with drumming up new members as the National Republican Congressional Committee’s vice chairwoman for recruitment for the 2018 election cycle. The class of 2014 saw a high number of lawmakers from swing districts take office. As such, those members understand they must forge a culture of working together to be successful, she said. “Inherently when you represent a district that is neither ruby red or deep blue, you’re reflective of your electorate, and you focus on what those unifying issues are,” Stefanik said. “Of course I get concerned when I hear members of Congress talk about how partisan policymaking has become, but I try to lead by example.”

MOVING TO THE CENTER

Stefanik has made bipartisanship a central part of her political brand. But the lawmaker voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act in May, fulfilling a longstanding campaign promise that helped galvanize a furious progressive movement last spring that shows no signs of sputtering out. Critics also point out Stefanik has voted with her party 88 percent of the time, citing the FiveThirtyEight website that aggregates lawmaker votes. Stefanik, however, has bucked her party on numerous high profile issues, including her votes against a budget bill last October and against the tax reform bill last year — legislation that incidentally, GOP leadership is now hoping will stave off losses this fall once voters start seeing an economic benefit. The lawmaker has also staked out more prominent territory as an environmental defender, issuing a flurry of letters to federal officials fretting over drilling in the Arctic Circle, the administration’s hesitation to acknowledge climate change as a threat to national security and proposed cutbacks to the Environmental Protection Agency. “Having seen the benefits both ecologically

But make no mistake about it: While she doesn’t agree with the White House on everything, Stefanik said she’s proud to be a Republican. And despite her sunny public demeanor, her campaign team does have sharp elbows and isn’t afraid to torch her growing field of Democrat opponents, which they have referred to as a “far-left gaggle” running well outside of the political mainstream. Ahead of a town hall forum in Plattsburgh last week, the campaign rolled out a list of binary yes-or-no questions — including if the group supports perennial Republican punching bag Nancy Pelosi as House speaker if Democrats do manage to flip the lower body. The lawmaker currently faces nine Democratic challengers, all of whom appear to be banking on Trump’s historical unpopularity, controversial statements and the ongoing investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian election tampering to drag down candidates like Stefanik, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee. Her campaign also battered the field following last month’s government shutdown, challenging them to publicly state how they would have voted. Stefanik has long been a critic of government shutdowns, including those under the Obama administration. “The government shutdown is an example of the type of choice you have to make as a member of congress,” Stefanik said. “But not one — not one — said they would have supported funding the government.” Stefanik is mindful that she’s crafted a sizable coalition, winning re-election in 2016 by 35 points. “I think again at the national level, there seems to be this focus on partisan coverage of our elected officials,” she said. “I think the outcomes of elections speak for themselves. We got a huge number of independents and Democrats to vote, and won this district by the biggest margin out of any Republican in New York state.” Stefanik said she’ll continue to deliver results for the district, citing infrastructure and the 2018 Farm Bill as leading priorities for the coming year. “I’m going to continue to work hard,” she said. “I know people are frustrated by what’s going on in Washington. But these are results for this district. I’m really focused on these local issues, and having a seat at the table when it comes to national issues.” ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

We must get our act together

Last week was another eventful week in our nation’s history. There are no words to fully express the sorrow By Dan Alexander of yet another tragic • PUBLISHER • school shooting in Florida that claimed the lives of 15 students and two teachers. This one, we learned, could have been prevented as the assailant was not only on local police and school radar but that of the FBI. If you haven’t yet seen the Facebook post from Kelly Guthrie Raley, who was named Eustis, Florida Middle School Teacher of the Year 2017-2018, please check it out online. She has a complete grasp of the situation, but sadly, I fear, her pleas will continue to fall on deaf ears. The other major event, which in my opinion affects the many issues facing the nation including these continued school shootings, was the Mueller Russian investigation. Thir teen Russians and three companies were indicted by the Justice Department in a sophisticated network designed to subvert the 2016 election process. The indictment noted that no Americans “unwittingly” participated in the effort to create discord. Some in the media were quick to point out that this cleared the president and his campaign from collusion, while others insist this indictment is just the tip of the iceberg with bigger announcements yet to come. Does it really surprise anyone that our long-time rival Russia used propaganda to create discord, doubt, and chaos here in the United States? Do we believe our political system needs Russia’s help creating discord and chaos? It seems like we do a good job at that all by ourselves. When will we ever learn that we’ve invited this type of interference in our political system by the constant inability to correct major issues due to all the obsessive infighting? Until we get our house in order, other nations will gladly throw a little fuel on our fire if it distracts and stalemates us. The foolish battle over the cause of these school shootings is just an example of how we’ll spend years fighting over the reason they occur and in the end never solve the problem. The instant one of these events occur the battle lines across the nation are drawn; Is it the gun or is it the mentally unstable individual. Do Democrats and Republican really care about solving problems or do they place greater value on arguing over who is right and gets credit? If we can’t correct something as important as school shooting how will we ever deal with Russian election intervention? ■

From the Editorial Board

City is in crisis — and the mayor knows it City of Plattsburgh Mayor Colin Read claims the city is not in crisis. But it is. The city is in a state of spiritual, fiscal and existential despair to an extent not seen since the closure of the Plattsburgh Air Force Base two decades ago. It’s evidenced by the conspiratorial mood at City Hall, which is still reeling after numerous cuts. It’s evidenced by the gaping dispute with the Town of Plattsburgh over revenues from a local power plant. And it’s evident by the recent wave of retirements and resignations, including Councilwoman Becky Kasper, Director of Community Development Paul DeDominicas, Plattsburgh City Police Chief Ken Parkinson, Chief Water Control Plant Operator David Powell and most recently, Downtown Revitalization Initiative Coordinator Joel Wood, who put in his papers last week. Kasper called the environment at City Hall a “tyranny of despair,” a depiction that’s certain to become a iconic soundbite. But certainly not an enviable one. All of these employees have been lauded by their colleagues as dedicated, civicminded people. This is more than just growing pains. Despite the upheaval, Read has attempted to put a positive spin on the developments. “If anybody’s morale suffers, it’s because they’ve been lead to believe there’s no plan, but there’s actually very good plans in place,” Read assured lawmakers last Thursday. “I do remind all of our employees and our department heads that we do have an open door

Today, Hudson Headwaters provides comprehensive primary care including integrated behavioral health, women’s health, dentistry and palliative care to nearly 100,000 patients across five counties and 17 sites from Saratoga County to the Canadian border. Community health centers like Hudson Headwaters emanate from visionary leaders, community and municipal support and federal grants from the Bureau of Primary Care. Across America, community

policy. Anybody can come see me anytime.” Read largely attempted to attribute much of the dourness to social media, as well as former city employees still smarting over last summer’s cutbacks. “I regret that there are disaffected individuals with obvious grudges or higher ambitions that want to create problems rather than solve some of the things that are challenging us,” Read said. We agree social media can be brutal, and every claim should be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism. But the mayor’s comments are also rather dismissive considering there are well-respected sources circulating those same viewpoints and concerns over the city’s future in private discussions that have since been made public. The mayor’s deflection is an emerging pattern we’ve found troubling: Blame the town. Blame disaffected department heads. Blame social media. Blame anonymous naysayers. Read is besieged on all sides, there’s no doubt about it. And the challenges are literal as well as figurative, considering the city is still digging out from a flood that displaced dozens of families and led to direct state intervention. To his credit, the mayor has been dealt an exceedingly difficult hand, and he’s doing everything to course-correct the city’s trajectory, which appears to have been on cruise control for years. It’s like moving a cruise ship.

health centers serve as the primary medical home for more than 27 million people in 10,400 rural and urban communities. All of these centers were put at risk when Congress allowed nearly 71 percent of the funding to expire in September of 2017. Fortunately, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) recognized the importance of community health centers across her district and exercised a leadership role in sponsoring legislation to extend funding. Through her diligence and the efforts of many across the nation, a bipartisan solution that included two-year funding for community health centers was included in the recent budget legislation. Hudson Headwaters is pleased to recognize and thank Congresswoman Stefanik as well as all of our patients and supporters across the region. Tucker Slingerland, M.D.

But we’ve heard some real, legitimate concerns over the city’s future, and all of them shouldn’t be chalked up to rabble-rousing. Doing so appears to delegitimize the real issues facing the city and the folks sounding the alarm bells. It should be noted these personnel resignations have concrete impacts — like the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative program, for instance. This local keystone of state efforts to reignite the moribund upstate economy is effectively leaderless as it reaches a critical juncture. With a divided Common Council, it’s now critical more than ever to wipe away some of this dysfunction — not perpetuate it. But while Read is leading the administrative side of the city, the future of the Lake City should really be the concern of everyone. We saw how a group of impassioned students at SUNY Plattsburgh mobilized last week to demand change offer a horrific message was posted on social media. City taxpayers should do the same. Rather than offer backhanded comments on social media, show up at City Hall and keep your lawmakers on task. If you’re disaffected, publicly demand change. The same should be true for councilors: Rather than trust that the mayor knows more than you, raise your concerns and doubts in a public setting. This reflects well on lawmakers, generates a more thoughtful public debate and inspires independent thinking on these issues so critical to the city’s survival. -The Sun Editorial Board ■

As for Frontier’s very professional servicemen, they are outstanding and have been given a very difficult task of repairing and servicing, under very severe winter conditions, faulty equipment that is long overdue for upgrade. In particular, Ted worked at our home under extremely cold and windy conditions to fix a problem that had been ongoing for months. He along with his colleague Don persisted until they found the source of our problem and our service has worked fine since.

Answers needed on broadband expansion promises

To the Editor: My wife and I are traveling in the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe staying in two different and remote rural AirBnBs. In addition to this beautiful country, we marvel at their superior internet access. We are able to stay in touch with news, access vital medical records, communicate with family and friends including Skype to landlines. If this small island can connect its residences to high speed internet, why can’t we in the North Country get the same? Our state government has given millions to local companies who take the money and offer excuses why they can get the job done. At our home just north of Port Henry, only one tenth of a mile from the end of Spectrum cables, repeated requests and inquiries as why they have not expanded their coverage have gone unanswered. It is time for accountability and action. Paul A. Reese, Moriah ■

Legislators, please consider gun control

To the Editor: As a Marine and a combat veteran, I am appalled after hearing of the terrible school shooting in Parkland! Our president, reading from a teleprompter, started off with talking of God and even used a verse from our Bible. This was evidently a speech written for him, but at the end of his pious speech, he came out with the same tied baloney about doing something about the mentally ill. It took him over 24 hours to make the speech, but I remember a speech he made, saying, “I could shoot someone in the middle of Times Square and they would still vote for me.” Shooters are mentally ill, please Mr. President — just who is mentally ill? Our Congress and Senate Republicans have sold their souls to the NRA and Florida’s legislators have done the same. Our governor repeated the words of our president with nothing about gun control! An AR-15 is a killing weapon and not that much different than what we carried in Vietnam. Our weapons gave us a choice of full automatic, safe or semi! AR-15s can be turned in full automatic very easily and those upset with this letter know it. How many more children are gunned down before a child of a legislator becomes a victim? Florida legislature is about to pass a bill

www.suncommunitynews.com

to make it easier to get a gun permit. One has to ask: where are their minds? They are looking at the gun lobby for campaign money! Trump even helped a bill get passed to allow the mentally ill to buy weapons. I pray to my savior Jesus Christ to help our legislators and those who purchase these weapons to come to their senses. God help us! Gary Philip Guido, Ticonderoga ■

Cheers to Stefanik for medical device tax repeal

To the Editor: At the end of 2017, BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) merged with C. R. Bard, Inc. to create one of the top five largest medical technology companies in the world. Our facility in Glens Falls is an important part of our global efforts to advance the world of health. Each year, our dedicated employees in Glens Falls produce nearly 12 million medical devices including cardiovascular catheters and vascular access devices that help physicians to diagnose and treat a variety of debilitating medical conditions, such as cancer and peripheral arterial diseases, improving the quality of life for patients all over the world. On behalf of our 750 employees in Glens Falls and 65,000 associates across the globe, I write today to thank Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for her leadership in the fight to repeal the medical device tax. Congresswoman Stefanik has visited our facility in Glens Falls multiple times, and she understands the severe negative impact the medical device tax has on innovation. During her visits, Congresswoman Stefanik spent hours talking with our employees — her constituents — about the precision work they do to manufacture the medical technology that millions of patients rely on. Her leadership and tireless advocacy to repeal the medical device tax help ensure our facility in Glens Falls will continue to be an important manufacturing center for BD. We are grateful for Congresswoman Stefanik’s efforts that recently led to a two-year suspension of the medical device tax. This suspension will allow us to continue to invest and bring new, innovative products to patients. We thank her for her continued support of our Glens Falls facility and employees, and we look forward to working with her to advance the bipartisan bill to fully repeal the medical device tax. Vincent A. Forlenza, Chairman and chief executive officer of BD, Glens Falls ■

Why should Stefanik join forum circus?

To the Editor: I read the editorial (Feb. 17 edition) and the glowing remarks about how Congresswoman

Elise Stefanik handles a crowd and should hold another town hall event — the old-fashioned type. Why in the world would a person who has so handily won two terms against two formidable opponents join the forum circus that is circulating around the district with citizens, not opponents? You become an opponent when the primaries are over — not until. With — my gosh, I’ve lost count — eight to 10 individual citizens not endorsed by any party joining forums, it would be insane to try a town hall at this point, of any type. Soon the field will thin as some will not be able to obtain the required signatures by April 12 to make the June ballot. The field will thin more in April and May as regretfully, money will take its toll of good people. Then the true opponents will surface on June 27 when the primary results are tallied. Now is not the time for a well-respected sitting congresswoman to take on everyone who gets their name spread in the media wishing to become a U.S. representative. Looking forward to another Stefanik teletown hall, actual town hall and some debates when the field becomes clear. Win Belanger, Willsboro ■ Editor’s note: The Sun did not call for Stefanik to debate her Democratic primary opponents, but rather to hold a town hall.

Reminder to neuter, spay pets

To the Editor: Feb. 27 is World Spay Day, a day to celebrate the importance of animal birth control and remind everyone to have their animal companions spayed or neutered. If you haven’t already, there’s no better time to have your animal family members “fixed.” Spaying and neutering save lives by preventing more cats and dogs from being born only to be abandoned on the streets, euthanized in shelters, abused or neglected. Sterilizing even one animal makes a huge difference: Just one female dog and her descendants can produce 67,000 puppies in six years, and one female cat and her offspring can lead to 370,000 descendants in seven years. Every new animal who is born either takes away a chance at a home from an animal waiting in a shelter or will end up homeless herself. Spaying and neutering also prevent animals from contracting uterine, ovarian, and testicular cancers and reduce or eliminate animals’ mating urges, aggression, and excessive territoriality, which is why sterilized dogs are three times less likely to bite. Please call 1-800-248-SPAY to find the nearest low-cost spay/neuter clinic. To learn more, visit peta.org. Lindsay Pollard-Post, The PETA Foundation, Norfolk, VA ■

North Country SPCA The North Country SPCA is excited that so many of our furry friends have recently found their forever By Kathy Wilcox homes in a flurry of • COLUMNIST • adoptions! That sentence may be a bit of a tongue-twister, but we guarantee that if you check out our Facebook page, you’ll find plenty of heartwarming, easy-to-read stories about some of these successful connections. Chief, one of our larger dogs, was at the shelter over a year and a half and recently went to his forever home with the volunteers who fostered him. Dixie, a shy little fox-faced dog who we worried might not easily find her family because she wasn’t as outgoing as some of our other canine friends, found a wonderful home with her “Gramma.” Now she gets to play with other small dogs and has really found her perfect home! Dan, one of our dogs who came from a difficult situation and had a lot of health concerns, went to his forever home, where he is spoiled with a comfy bed, plenty of attention, and the best humans he could ask for! We also feature some of our adoptable animals, who are still seeking families, on our Facebook page. Please stop by and check us out!

Our featured pet this week is

FRENCH FRY, a pretty Domestic

Shorthair-mix Tabby who has been with us since lasts August. She has the most beautiful green eyes and a thick, lush coat you won’t be able to resist petting! We believe she is about two and a half years old. French Fry would really like to be the only fur baby in your household, but she has such a wonderful personality, you won’t need anymore kitty love than this plump little lady can provide. Despite her name, French Fry is on a strict diet! She has prescription ford to keep her in top bird-watching form. For more information, contact the shelter at info@ncspca.org or 518-873-5000. ■

Olympic Notes

Local cause celebre, pure gold for Mazdzer’s win

Watch party, governor and Clarkson engineers pay tribute to Saranac Lake Olympic medal winner.

Luger Chris Mazdzer’s winning Olympic silver medal remained cause for great celebration all week. NBC’s Today Show By Kim Dedam invited Mazdzer’s fellow • COLUMNIST • Saranac Laker friends and neighbors to a watch party last Thursday to see the early morning mixed luge competition run. A Jumbotron screen was set up beside the glistening, slowly melting, walls of the Winter Carnival Ice Palace. About 1,000 showed up at 7 a.m., including entire classrooms of kids from Saranac Lake schools and area college students. Waving American flags, holding Team USA and Go USA signs and giant

cut-out posters of Mazdzer’s face, the crowd shouted loud enough to send a message halfway around the Earth. Even Mazdzer’s golden retriever Obie was there. “Chris embodies the Olympic spirit ... he comes from behind and makes history,” said Today Show host Mary Ann Zoellner. Mazdzer’s mixed luge team placed fourth Thursday morning. But the spirit here was solid gold. “It’s also their (Saranac Laker’s) passion and dedication that gets these athletes onto the world stage, an inspiration for the next generation of Olympic hopefuls,” the local NBC newscaster explained of town and village support. “The road to Pyeongchang was winding, full of potholes, and sometimes hard to make out,” Mazdzer said shortly after winning silver. “It wasn’t the easiest road to follow but sometimes that struggle and journey produced one sweet outcome.” USA Luge is based in Lake Placid and trains on the bobsleigh track at Mt. Van Hoevenberg.

Longtime luger Mark Grimmette, of Lake Placid, is sports program director and coach for USA Luge. Grimmette competed in five Winter Olympics and won two medals in the men’s doubles with a silver in 2002 and a bronze in 1998. Even local engineers celebrated Mazdzer’s winning race last week, with two professors at Clarkson University having contributed to the sled’s design. Clarkson University Associate Professor of Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering Douglas Bohl was thrilled when Mazdzer won the first-ever men’s singles medal in the sport for the United States, the college announced. “Bohl, along with Paynter-Krigman Endowed Professor in Engineering Science Simulation, Brian Helenbrook, and master’s student Bryan Heckendorf worked with the United States Luge Association to create a portion of the sled Mazdzer rode to his silver-medal finish.” The trio created a method by which the shell part of the sled could be de-

signed and customized based on a slider. “That shell was worked on mostly in 2013 and was fabricated in the fall of that year,” Bohl said. “It was too late to get onto the sleds in Sochi (Russia, Winter Olympics 2014), but U.S. athletes used it the following year and since then. Our newer-generation shells were also in the Olympics this year, being used by Shiva Keshavan, the luger from India.” Clarkson engineers are continuing to develop several more shells for the custom luge sleds. “We are all very excited to see Chris win his medal. It was nice to know we helped Chris achieve the goals he has worked so hard toward in some way with our work,” Bohl said of the Olympian. Gov. Andrew Cuomo felt the Olympic vibe as he officiated the formal reopening at the Hotel Saranac. “There’s just a good energy, a positive energy,” said the governor. “Let’s give a big round of applause for Chris Mazdzer, who really set the tone. And we’re feeding off that energy.” ■

Gun control takes spotlight in Congressional forum Democratic candidates call for gun control following massacre

CEO of Helical Holdings, a solar-powered hydroponic equipment company. Ratigan said he’ll make an announcement regarding his candidacy Wednesday in Saranac Lake, after this edition went to print. An audience member asked at what point would it be reasonable to see a thinned group. “I think the expectation is when you decide who you want to support,” said Nelson. “The herd thins when you figure out who you want to support. You are the people in change — not us.”

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | National headlines dominated a town hall discussion between the candidates seeking Rep. Elise Stefanik’s seat on Saturday. In the wake of a massacre in Florida that saw a teenage gunman kill 17 people, Democratic candidates renewed calls for more stringent gun control measures. “I do believe we have to look at the assault weapons ban again,” said Ronald Kim, a Queensbury-based attorney. “These are military-style weapons. They’re not for hunting, they’re not for self protection, they’re simply to kill people.” Kim cited a procedure used in bankruptcy law that allows third parties to be involuntarily called into court. “When I started watching on Friday and I saw Elise Stefanik’s tweet that said ‘thoughts and prayers,’ I said, ‘This is morally bankrupt.’” He encouraged attendees, which organizers pegged at just over 200, to send the lawmaker “notices of moral bankruptcy.”

TEN CANDIDATES

Nine Democratic candidates and one Republican seeking to unseat Stefanik gathered Saturday at “The People’s Forum: A Truly Transparent Town Hall” at SUNY Plattsburgh’s Hawkins Hall. Joining Kim and Republican Russ Finley were Tanya Boone, Don Boyajian, Tedra Cobb, Sara Idleman, Emily Martz, David Mastrianni, Patrick Nelson and Katie Wilson. Wilson, who owns a small business in Keene, said culling gun violence demands a broader examination of the wealth gap, which she said was of the root cause of societal conflict. Economic inequality puts pressure on home life and children, she said. “We need a paradigm shift. We need to start working for a model of care for all areas,” she said, citing health care, education and the prison system as institutions that must be probed for reform. Tedra Cobb called for universal background checks for those seeking to purchase a firearm. “Gun owners and non-gun owners alike need to come to the table because the vast majority of Americans agree on universal background checks,” said Cobb, a former St. Lawrence County lawmaker and business consultant. Tanya Boone, a Granville-based businesswoman and former union organizer, is the mother of a 9-year-old son. She urged Congress to repeal the Dickey Amendment, a federal provision which determines none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to “advocate or promote gun control.” “We need to get beyond being sad and scared and start being angry, because we do need to take action,” said Boone. Don Boyajian is a gun owner and a lifelong sportsman. But the Saratoga attorney criticized NRA donations to politicians. “You know what the source of all this is? NRA,” Boyajian said. “They have a chokehold on Congress. You know what the NRA stands for? Not relevant anymore. We need their influence out of Congress right now.”

REPUBLICANS RESPOND

Photo by Pete DeMola And in what drew some the loudest applause of the two-hour event, Nelson lashed out at Republicans for what he said was a constant blaming of those receiving treatment for mental health issues. “If you have a mental health problem, you are no more likely to be violent than anybody else,” said Nelson, who sat scowling throughout the discussion. “In fact, you’re more likely to be a victim than anybody else. I’m sick and tired of it being used as an excuse by Republicans to not do anything,” he said to applause. Nelson, who has said in the past he has been treated for anxiety, said perhaps if the shooter was treated earlier, the killings would have been avoided. “I’m sick and tired of politicians scapegoating those of us who are getting treatment for mental health,” he said. But Finley, a cattle farmer who is waging an improbable campaign for the GOP nomination, said more gun control is not the answer. As a student in the 1980s, he and his classmates would bring their guns to school on the first day of duck-hunting season. “It’s not the gun issue — it’s these damn things,” Finley said, holding up his smartphone. Finley pinned the uptick in mass shooting incidents to first-person shooter games, a desensitized society and media sensationalism. And he blasted state legislation like the SAFE Act, which he said did little except to turn 1.2 million law-abiding gun owners into criminals. “Had that football coach had a gun — whether you agree with me or not — there would have been a lot less,” said Finley. “He was one of the first people shot. He could have stopped it right then and there.” And later, he said to groans: “This shooting in Florida was a systematic failure of the FBI.” Each of the Democratic candidates pledged to support the other during the primary election, candidates said at a forum in South Glens Falls last month. Several of the candidates renewed those commitments on Saturday. “I will support whoever wins the primary,” said Cobb, who promised to redeploy her

army of 500 volunteers if she falls short in clinching the nomination in June’s contest. “I will not run on another line,” she said. But Nelson, who has made the elimination of money from politics a leading campaign issue, appeared more circumspect. “If they take corporate money, I don’t think you can support them,” he told the audience.

Local Republicans issued a joint statement following the event. “Representative Stefanik is a proven leader and strident advocate for the North Country’s 21st Congressional District,” wrote Clinton County GOP Chairman Clark Currier, Essex County GOP Chairman Shaun Gilliland and Franklin County GOP Chairman Ray Scollin. “Her voting record and positions are open and transparent. Our Congresswoman does what she says she is going to do. There are no empty campaign promises.” The statement continued: “She is, and always has been, doing what we elected her to do in Washington or out in the 21st district.

county taxpayers,” added Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew. “We budget $40,000 for the cleanup every year so we still have money to cover it,” County Manager Dan Palmer said. “There are some tings the county does that we do not make money on, and this is a program that is well worth it,” Essex Supervisor Ron Jackson said.

OTHER CLEANUP PROGRAMS

STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County will again offer four sites this year for residents to dispose of hazardous waste. The sites, located in North Elba, North Hudson, Elizabethtown and Moriah/Mineville, were voted on by members of the public works committee at its Feb. 14 meeting. The state will pay for half of the costs. Dougan said he’ll reach out with the company who manages the program to set up exact dates. Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said he was concerned that people from other counties had been bringing their waste into Essex County because charges for the programs have gone up over the past three years. Marnell said the price had increased from around $40,000 in the first year to $66,000 in year two and $69,000 in year three Lewis Supervisor Jim Monty said he felt one factor keeping hazardous waste collections higher was the number of contractors in the county. “I think they keep all their paints and stuff throughout the year and see these collection dates as the time to clean them up,” Monty said. “Last year, the cost only went up $3,000, which is only a $1,500 increase in spending to us, I would keep the four sites.” “I agree that we should continue to do this on an annual basis while we can afford to do it for the

Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally added the new tire program from last year was a success, with residents bringing old tires in to be recycled. “(Essex County Soil and Water Director) Dave Reckahn did a good job with this program and we hope to continue on with that,” McNally said. “I would also like to see us expand into an e-waste program.” “We should look at a way we can bring the tires and e-waste in on the same day,” Jackson said. “The more of that stuff we can get rid of is better than having people dump it on the side of the roads.” Palmer said the discussion of electronic waste leads to an issue he has had with a state mandate that he believes has never been followed through on in Essex County. “Anyone who sells electronic equipment is supposed to have an authorized e-waste site, but I have never seen one here,” Palmer said. “With no site in Essex County, municipalities are left to do there own thing. Since the state has made this a mandate for the businesses to make these sites, there is no funding to help with e-waste removal because everything is supposed to be in place, which it is not here. It is very frustrating.” Reckahn also said there were some areas of the tire disposal program he needed to look at because there were some questions about transportation of the tires and if they have all been recycled. Palmer said he would talk with DEC officials over the e-waste issues. ■

Along with approving the Department of Public Works to move forward with a round of 2018 hazardous waste collection days, members of the Essex County Board of supervisors discussed the notion of how to collect e-waste throughout the county. File photo

CFES Brilliant Pathways to young women: ‘Find your voice’ GE Foundation leader rallies youngsters at conference

Networking is a big part of their future endeavors “It’s the ability to turn someone you just met into someone who will support you and then build into a network of supporters,” Smith said. “They are people who can be very supportive in a number of ways through building this network.” Executive Director of Education and Skills for the GE Foundation Kelli Wells said young women need to find their own voice to help them be in control of their lives. In talking about moments where she was put in difficult situations, Wells said the key was to always rely on her core values and ideals and implored the members of the audience to do the same. “I have been called names like Barbie,” Wells said. “I have been called stupid. I have had people judge me just because I walk in the room and I look a certain way. I have also been put in situations where someone has tried to use their power over me. “It was in those moments, I realized I needed to persevere and be determined,” she added. “You have to stay true to yourself and you have to remember those qualities that make you, you.” Wells also cited the ability to not to feel bad when put into a tough or unfair situation. “I never sat there and felt pity for myself, but I turned it around and said, ‘No, I am in control and I am going to determine my situation,’” she

ESSEX | Young female students from throughout the North Country came together at CFES Brilliant Pathways headquarters in Essex to discuss how to engage and empower young women. Students from Westport, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Saranac, Beekmantown, Plattsburgh High and as far south as Schenectady High School attended the session. Tara Smith, vice president of programming at CFES — formerly known as College for Every Student — said young women can “take charge” of the future by using the skills of goal setting, teamwork, agility, leadership, perseverance and networking “You all possess these skills already and you are using them every day in a lot of different ways,” Smith said. “We want to help you be mindful of these skills and use them in a deeper way and use them as much as you can because they are skills that are going to guide you through college and into your career.”

said. “It’s about finding our voice and making sure we can be in control of our own lives.” Wells also said supporting each other is another way to help break boundaries. “It’s about being human,” she said. “It’s about seeing someone and stopping for a moment and saying, how can I help them. The number one thing is just being a good listener and just taking the time to just listen to what someone has to say.”

She added being true to oneself will be key for the young women as they go on from high school. “I want you to think more about the meaning of those words you used to describe yourself,” she said, referring to an earlier workshop. “As you move on from high school, you need to realize there is a new world out there and can already be prepared for when those tough moments happen by staying true to yourself.” ■ I I '

Moriah sweep Class D top seeds CLASS C

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The top basketball program right now in Section VII — if not the state — swept the top seeds for the Section VII/Class D playoffs, which start Wednesday, Feb. 21. Moriah, whose boys program is the defending Class D state champion and on a state-best 40-game win streak, will face the winner of the Feb. 21 preliminary round playoff (Lake Placid at Westport) on Saturday, Feb. 24 in Moriah at 6 p.m. Additional quarterfinal games on Feb. 24 will include second seed Schroon Lake hosting seventh seed Wells; third seed Crown Point hosting sixth seed Chazy and fourth seed Willsboro hosting fifth seed Keene. Winners will compete in the semifinals at AuSable Valley Wednesday, Feb. 28 (6 and 6:30 p.m.) with the Class D title game set for Saturday, March 3 at noon at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse. Meanwhile, the Lady Vikings, who captured the CVAC Division II championship and are the defending Section VII and regional champion, will take on eighth seed Willsboro Friday, Feb. 23 at 6 p.m. The other quarterfinal games Feb. 23 have second seed Westport against seventh seed Lake Placid; third seed Bolton against sixth seed Keene; and fourth seed Schroon Lake hosting fifth seed Crown Point. Quarterfinal winners will play in the semifinals at AuSable Valley Tuesday, Feb. 27 (6 and 7:30 p.m.), with the winners playing for the Class D title Friday, March 2, 4:30 p.m. at the Fieldhouse.

The two defending champions will be the top seeds in the Class C playoffs, as Northern Adirondack will be the top seed in the girl’s bracket and CVAC Division II champion Ticonderoga, whose only two league losses came to rival Moriah, will be the top seed in the boys. The girl’s semifinals will take place Monday, Feb. 26, as the Bobcats will ply the winner of the fourth seed Saranac Lake and fifth seed AuSable Valley quarterfinal to be played Feb. 20 in Saranac Lake. The other semifinal will pit second seed Seton Catholic against third seed Ticonderoga. Both games will be held at Beekmantown Central School at 6 and 7:30 p.m., with the championship to be decided at the Fieldhouse March 2 at 6:15 p.m. The Sentinels will take to the Beekmantown court Tuesday, Feb. 27, playing the winner of the Feb. 21 quarterfinal between fourth seed Seton Catholic and fifth seed Saranac Lake.

EAGLES BACK ON TOP

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

SARANAC LAKE | After eight years of drought, the Westport Lady Eagles basketball team returned to the top of the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference with a 53-22 win over Bolton Feb. 16. Meanwhile, the Seton Catholic Knights wrapped up their third straight MVAC title in as many years with a 56-41 win over Schroon Lake. Both games were part of the return of the MVAC league championship games, held at North Country Community College.

“This is great, I’m so happy,” said Hannah Schwoebel after scoring 17 points in the Westport Eagle’s second straight blowout win over the Eagles of Bolton. “We have worked so hard all season to get here and we have been able to work together as a team and work hard on defense,” she added, a sentiment echoed by her coach, Brad Rascoe. “These girls have worked so hard and have played so many games together and I couldn’t be more proud,” said Rascoe of his team which features seven seniors who have mostly played varsity since their fresh-

man year. “I’ve seen so many things come together and little pieces that have finally fit this season because of the work they have continued to put into this.” Lizzie Stephens had another hot shooting game against Bolton, scoring 11 points. “We knew the shooters had to do their job again tonight against Bolton,” Stephens said. “I was able to get some good looks and hit them again.” Westport again marked Maddie Pratt with Taylor Gough, who said she focused on keeping the senior center in front of her, as Schwoebel was ready to offer help. Sisters Ellie (8) and Rachel (15) Storey controlled the pace of play in the backcourt. “We were able to push the ball up the court and make some shots,” Ellie said. “I’ve just been happy to come out and help this team out as an eighth grader,” said Rachel. “I’ve learned so much from these girls about the game.” Ashley Connery led the Eagles with 7 points, while Pratt added 6.

KNIGHTS BEST WILDCATS

It was an inside-out night for the Seton Catholic Knights, as Dawson Pellerin scored off several offensive rebounds and inside looks in the opening half while Tom Murray and Neil Yang found their outside range in the second as the Knights scored a 15-point win over Division II champion Schroon Lake. “We have to work together as a team, and we

have been able to do so the past two games,” said head coach Larry Converse, referring to the Knight’s in over Willsboro earlier in the week to clinch the Division I title. “You want to be able to say you are playing your best ball of the year when you get to sectionals, and I think we can say that.” Pellerin scored 13 of his 23 points in the first half, “It feels great after having a season like last year and to do this well in my senior year and to get the opportunity to play a good team and get the win,” Pellerin said. “Our defense has been key and it also has been key to play the way we can as a team and pass the ball around to find the open player.” Pellerin said he was pleased he could help the team in his way, providing early offensive boards to give the team second and third chances to score in one possession. “I think getting the boards early gets the team going and motivates everyone to crash the boards,” he said. “Dawson has come a long way as a player this year, especially after starting the year with a serious face injury from soccer,” Converse said. “Just like everyone else, he works hard as a member of the team to do what they can together, because that is how we have to play.” Neil Yang finished with 13 points, while Tom Murray added 9 and Alex Sharon had 5 points to go with 10 rebounds and 5 assists, one behind Murray’s team-leading 6 assists. Andrew Pelkey scored 18 in the loss, while Micka Stout had 12 and Jordan DeZalia 9. ■

Local athletes make Section VII states indoor team By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The tightest event of the night came in the third event at the Section VII NYSPHSAA state qualifiers. Using new technology and timing, the placement of the top two finishers in the 55-hurdles were changed between when asked by media and announced, giving Saranac Lake’s Grace Clark an undefeated season in the event. “I came into the race knowing I had to work really hard,” Clark said. “It’s amazing I was able to make to through the season undefeated.” Madison Baker, the second place finisher by two-hundreths of a second, was pleased with her run and knew she had a shot. “Every time we would jump a hurdle, we would hit each other with our hands and I knew I was right there with her,” Baker said. “It came down tot he stretch and I went as hard as I could.” Saranac Lake’s Edina Cecunjanin scored a pair of wins in the qualifier, beating a pair of PHS favorites (Angie Lyons in the 55, Sue Sivakumaran in the 300). “I’m really happy with my results,” Cecunjanin said. “I have been working for this since day one. In the 300, I just kept telling myself I was not letting her go today.”

so amazed and really proud that I actually did it! I always wanted to have that time and go to states and I its so amazing it happened in my last indoor race. I was able to stick with her early and I knew when I started to go I had it.” In the field events, Ticonderoga’s Meg McDonald finished her Section VII indoor career defeating “friendly rival” Ella Messner of Peru in the high jump. “It feels great to get back to what I know I can do after a tough season last year,” McDonald said. “I am excited to go and enjoy states and I want to get my personal best there, because I have been stuck on it since I was a freshman.” McDonald beat Messner on a jump-off, where the two went into a jump-v-jump format, with McDonald hitting on the second attempt. “I’ve never been part of something like that before,” Messner said. “It was a lot of fun.” The members of the Section VII state indoor track and field team include:

For the Saranac Lake boy’s team, Tyler Martin joined Ben Goff, Adam Hesseltine and Micah McCully for a win in the 4x400 relay, while winning the 600. “I came in feeling a bit under the weather but I have been working hard all year long and I am happy I was able to get over that and get a win in these events.” In the 4x160 relay, Saranac’s Shayne O’Neill used a last stretch pass to give his team the win and state bid. “I tried to go inside on the front but I was boxed out,” O’Neill said. “I backed off and kept the lane. I kicked it in for the final 20 meters and I knew I had it.” Logan VanBuren was the lone qualifier for EKMW, winning the 1,000 over McCulley, who also qualified for states. “I am proud of the run because as the only sophomore in the race, I was able to beat all of the older kids,” VanBuren said. “It gives me a lot of confidence going forward.” In another track upset, Ticonderoga’s Sierra Stacy saved her biggest win for her last indoor meet, as the senior beat Seton Catholic’s Sofia DeJordy to the line. “It’s so crazy,” a shocked Stacy said after the race. “I am

New pastor trades Mississippi for North Country Chad Carr installed as Westport Bible Church pastor By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT | When asked about what impresses him about his new home, Pastor Chad Carr says it’s the scenery. “It is so beautiful up here, I still cannot get over the mountains,” said Carr, the new pastor of the Westport Bible Church. But it wasn’t long before he fell in love with the community church’s congregation. “The goal of this church has always been to treat anyone who walks through these doors as family and with an outpouring of love, and that is what we felt when we walked through those doors,” said Carr. The pastor, joined by his wife, Wendy, and three children, came to Westport via Mississippi where he was serving as a senior pastor.

“We felt the Lord was heading us away from Mississippi, and I was contacted by the deacons here about their opening,” Carr said. “We came up to see the area and the church in December, and a couple of weeks later the church voted.” Carr grew up near Lansing, Mich. before attending the Pensacola Christian University in Florida, serving a mission with his wife in France and serving as a youth pastor in Arizona. Taking over from interim pastor Dave Colwell, Carr hopes to share the church with the community through service and events. “My vision is to see the church grow in the Lord and to see them really reach out into the community and show the community the love of Christ,” he said. The Westport Bible Church is located at 24 Youngs Road near Exit 31 of the Adirondack Northway. Sunday School services start at 9:30 a.m., with Sunday morning services at 10:30 a.m. and evening services at 5:30 p.m. For more information, visit westportbiblechurch.org. ■

» Cuomo Cont. from pg. 1 As part of the funding package, grants will be made available to developers to incentivize building these types of properties. “This lack of lodging, this lack of an economic driver that really translates into economic success is a chicken and egg debate we haven’t quite conquered,” said Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber, who sat on the task force Longer stays by travelers will be beneficial to communities, he said. And it’s important to note that hotels also often provide amenities to not just travelers, but also local residents. “We need more than day-trippers if we’re going to move the economic needle in the Adirondacks,” he said. “I don’t think in the broad degree we’ve figured out how to do that yet.”

BIG INVESTMENTS

Cuomo, delivering comments at the restored Hotel Saranac in downtown Saranac Lake, touted the state’s investment in the Adirondack region, including a sustained stream of tourism promotional funds that have generated nearly $1.35 billion in direct visitor spending in 2016 from 12 million visitors — a new record, he said. The Adirondack Challenge, the annual field trip for state lawmakers, has been key in raising awareness, Cuomo said. Regional tourism generated $169.4 million in state and local taxes last year, according to materials provided by the governor’s office. The governor also touted $3.5 billion in direct investment to the North Country, including funds to update Plattsburgh International Airport and state-owned ski facilities. “I’m proud to be the governor that has invested more in upstate New York than any other governor in the history of the state of New York,” Cuomo said. The governor also championed state investment and land acquisitions — including Boreas Ponds, whose classification awaits his signature.

BROADBAND PROMISED

Cuomo touched upon broadband during his remarks. “We made the single smartest investment that is going to pay dividends for generations, and will be finished by the end of this year, which is the first state in the country to have 100 percent broadband coverage,” he said. Since the governor rolled out the final

Obituaries

grant announcement in Plattsburgh last month, local officials have been chomping at the bit for details of the $103.5 million package for the North Country. Franklin County Legislature Chair Barbara Rice said she was still awaiting clarity. “There are significant areas in Franklin County that remain underserved,” Rice said. “We don’t have the details yet.” A large portion of Franklin County has been covered in the grant package, she said. But the final chunk of funds may not cover all areas. “I’m sure that are some areas that will need to be addressed after this third round,” Rice said. “But the goal is 100 percent. I am absolutely certain that with the governor’s push, and his continued focus on this, that will happen.” While ESD has announced which internet service providers have secured bids, the state agency has not released details on exactly which communities will be served. Phase 3 municipal data will be available soon, state officials said. “Once this municipal data is live, people will be able to see the Phase 3 awards by every village, town, city and county across the state,” a spokesman for ESD told The Sun on Friday. “Additionally, the BPO will publish all awarded census blocks, with a reference to which company was awarded each block.” Some 70,000 unserved homes are slated to benefit from a satellite service offering 25 megabytes per second, said the spokesman. Cuomo did not mention a executive budget proposal to use payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements instead of market value to calculate taxes on land in the Adirondack Park and the Catskills, a proposal shift that has local officials and green groups seething. But a spokesman from the state budget division did issue a statement after the event. “The goal of this budget proposal is to achieve administrative efficiencies within the Tax Department by releasing them of the responsibility to review assessment determinations,” said Morris Peters. “Meanwhile, local governments will have certainty that the state’s payments will grow each year.” While most local governments increase property taxes by an amount less than the cap, the state will be locked into making payments at the maximum under the cap, Peters said. “As a result, local governments will be no worse off under this proposal and it’s quite

possible that they’ll actually do slightly better.”

ADIRONDACK LOVE

The governor often discusses his love for the Adirondacks, a passion he traced back to his father, the late Gov. Mario Cuomo, who would journey into the wilderness with his family as a way to escape the pressures of Albany. “He never really got a chance to enjoy it as much,” Cuomo said. “I think he just worked harder as governor than I did. But he loved it, he believed in it, he invested in it, and he’s the reason why I got involved.” The governor praised the spiritual power of the Adirondacks. “You feel your body relax. You feel the nature take over. You inhale in a way that you haven’t inhaled.”

RESTORED GRANDEUR

Cuomo delivered his comments at the Hotel Saranac, which recently completed a four-year, $35 million renovation project. “The man had a vision, the man had a dream, and the man pursued that vision,” Cuomo said of Roedel Company President Fred Roedel III. “It was a hard one, it was uphill. There were setbacks, but he stayed with it, and that’s what the North Country spirit is all about.” In a speech laced with wistfulness, Cuomo likened the building’s transformation to a metaphor: The building represented was “what was, and what would be.” The restoration of the 1920s-era building, the governor said, acts an economic catalyst for the entire downtown community. “It’s also good for the soul to restore that beauty and grandeur and say, ‘That’s who we are. We are that history, that majesty of Hotel Saranac.” But that “what could be” is now “that is.” “When we come together and we’re smart, and we have vision and daring, there is nothing that we can’t do,” Cuomo said. “And this is a metaphor for bringing back that sense of grandeur and possibility and showing that it can be a reality, and showing that tomorrow is going to be better than yesterday, and the future is going to be bright and the best days lie ahead.” Cuomo last visited the hotel in December 2016 when he checked in on the state’s $5 million investment. Following the event, the governor went snowmobiling through the Buck Pond Campground in Vermontville. This story has been updated. ■

The miracle

On Thursday, we celebrate what is simply known as the greatest United States sporting moment By Keith Lobdell of all time. Period. • SPORTS EDITOR • End of story. Feb. 22, 1980. It was the ultimate David v. Goliath as the United States and their group of college boys took on the militarized hickey machine that was the USSR. A goal with no time left. The Russians pulling the greatest goalie in the world. Mike Eruzione’s blast from just below the blue line that found the back of the net and Jim Craig’s final 10 minutes of play in net followed by the words Al Michaels will always be known for: “Do you believe in miracles? Yes!” (My skin tingles just writing that.) You want to know what kind of miracle this was? You only need to look at the Olympics happening now. After several Olympics of NHL players, the United States is back to college and lower level professional players against the rest of the world. How’s that going? Well, go no further than the OAR team, Olympic athletes from Russia, who scored a 4-0 win over the Stars and Stripes in the final game if qualifying. Team USA finished the preliminaries with a 1-2-0 record and will play Slovakia — not to be confused with Slovenia, who scored a 3-2 comeback against the US — in a win-orgo-home play-in game. Not the same as the Team USA that were always in the hunt with NHL players. But, there’s the thing about the miracle. It came out of nowhere. The Russians had scored a 10-1 win over us days before the Olympics began. They were a betting line dog in each game, if there were betting lines, especially Russia. Michaels even admitted their broadcast plan was to hope it stayed close through the first period — first — so people would tune back in. No one saw what happened happening. Everything had to go right. If Mark Johnson takes one-half skate more, the goal at the end of the first doesn’t count. If Herb Brooks goes to the backup goalie, would he have been able to turn away the same shots Craig did? If Eruzione doesn’t come off the bench at the right time, does he get the shot off that wins the game? But all that did happen, and today, let us celebrate that moment that brought a country at odds together to celebrate something as simple as putting a rubber puck through a net. ■
