SARANAC LAKE | Hundreds of children from civic and athletic clubs escorted Olympians in a brightly bannered homecoming parade last week. Their handmade posters, banners ten-kidswide, American fl ag regalia and U.S.A. winter hats told a tale of commitment, practice and celebration. Main Street was a stream of red and white and blue with some scout khaki, shiny brass horns and five-colored Olympic ring banners blended for good measure. Behind the steady pace of boots and the beat of Saranac Lake’s High School Band, a hometown heroes float whisked seven Olympians down Main Street.

Throngs of young athletes from area ski, skate, hockey, sled, scouting and school clubs lead the way as Olympians from this region were welcomed home in Saranac Lake last week. Photos by Kim Dedam » pg. 10

Wilmington Historical Society purchases site for proposed new history center New building to be named after prominent local tourism pioneers By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WILMINGTON | The Wilmington Historical Society (WHS) will soon have a home of their own. The nonprofit has purchased a 1.91 acre parcel of land on Route 86 to construct a new facility. Wilmington Historical Society’s proposed new building will be named the The land purchase was made possible through Ruth and Thomas Keegan Memorial History Center after an influential family a donation by Colonel Dennis Keegan, a who played a leading role in region’s tourism industry beginning in the 1950s. retired U.S. Air Force officer and former Ruth and Thomas Keegan are pictured here on July 22, 1967. Photo provided U.S. Olympic Committee executive.

Keegan’s parents, Ruth and Thomas Keegan, were local tourism pioneers in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, according to WHS President Karen Marshall Peters. The pair conceptualized and ran the largest motel in Wilmington, Keegan’s White Brook, and the Swissaire Motelodge in Upper Jay. The new building will be named the Ruth and Thomas Keegan Memorial History Center due to the substantial impact the Keegans had in promoting tourism in the town and contributing to the area’s economic development, said Peters. WHS, which formed in 2003, has been located in the town hall and community center since 2007. “We are quickly running out of space,” Peters said. The new site between A&W Restaurant and Alpine Country Inn & Suites is optimal due to its highly-trafficked location and high visibility, she said.

Black Rooster Farm celebrates new maple house Keene operation is expanding By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

KEENE | A local maple farm has been able to expand with the help of the North Country Small Business Development Center celebrated national SBDC Day. Black Rooster Maple, owned by Kirk and Kristy Bassarab, celebrated their new maple house with a ribbon cutting March 21, complete with a new evaporator and reverse osmosis machine. “We started by tapping 10-12 trees, and each year we have been expanding in one way or another,” Kirk Bassarab said. “This year we are tapping 3,500 trees and are in a position now that as we grow and expand, we can add more taps and not have to add to our processing equipment.

Bassarab said the biggest new piece of equipment was the reverse osmosis machine, which takes out 90 percent of the water in the maple sap before it enters the evaporator to be boiled into maple syrup, adding it makes the process quicker than ever. Those in attendance at the ribbon cutting included SBA Syracuse District Director Bernard J. Paprocki, Smith, Keene Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson and Community Bank Agricultural Banking Officer Patty Duffy. ■

Young scientists display their findings ELCS students take part in school science fair By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The young scientist of Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School had their chance to show off what they know at the school’s science fair last week. Science teacher Kaitlin Fielder said the students in kindergarten through eighth grade submitted 90 projects and students were interviewed by four local judges, including Noel Merrihew, Alvin Reiner, Brenda Drummond and Alice Halloran. The judges volunteered their time to speak with students and have been impressed with the quality of projects and presentation skills of students. “This is a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their work and the science that interests them,” said Fielder. “Our students have been improving their understanding of science because of their parents and teachers who stand behind them.“ The fair was organized by Fielder and Ian Stiles.

THE PROJECTS

Kindergarten student Taylynn St. Dennis researched bears. “I found out bears eat berries, sticks, rabbits and snakes,” St. Dennis said. “I learned that bears can swim, run and climb. My mom asked me what I wanted to do and I picked bears because they are fuzzy. I like black bears the best.” “I picked to do my projects on foxes because I am wild about them,” said third grader Adyson Christian. “I drew the art for it. They sense out their foods and see in the dark. My favorite thing is that they are beautiful and my favorite is the arctic fox.” Third grader Myla Husner felt the moose was the “coolest animal.” “I like their antlers and characteristics,” Husner said. “I like how they can swim to get away from predators.” Fourth grader Grace Kullman looked at sugar content in food. “My hypotheses is that we eat too much sugar and we shouldn’t,” Kullman said. “I measured how much sugar in each item and

Seventh grader Braxton Lawrence created an infinity mirror. “The mirror is behind the glass with window tint on the inside and when the mirror re-

Time for unconventional thinking in education policy By Robert L. Arnold Nearly every school-aged child has access to a cell phone. Information is today more readily available than ever before, but the ability to make sense out of that information remains a serious problem. Conventional approaches to the study of all this information have produced unsatisfactory results at many New York state schools. According to the December 2015 School Improvement Study, like other schools, a majority of children who took the standardized tests at Willsboro have scored at or below level two which means they have demonstrated little understanding of the curricular content. There are reasons for this. Commercially motivated educational practices, materials and structures have hamstrung teachers who are trying to improve the lives of their students. It’s not that teachers in our school haven’t attempted to examine what changes could/should be made — they have. This school received in 1993 a grant under the New Compact for Learning Plan of the state Education Department to study with a consortium of Essex County schools the basic foundations for implementing new standards. The state’s position was stated in this quote from the New Compact for Learning, a 1991 document.

Elizabethtown

“The problem with education is not that the legions of dedicated people who work in our schools are limited, or uncaring, or that they are unwilling to exert themselves to serve our children. On the contrary, the schools are filled with intelligent, conscientious, even idealistic people eager to be effective. The problem is that the system they are caught in — schools as we still organize and run them, prevailing notions of curriculum and instructional method, the existing allocations of responsibility and authority — has become obsolete.” It was 1993 that a compatible modern systems theory was introduced to U.S. educators through the publication of a report of a major NATO conference on technology in education. In the book “Comprehensive Systems Design: A New Educational Technology” by C.M. Reigeluth, B.H Banathy and J.R. Olson, there is a clear description of what a superior school would look like. There are many who believe that implementation of general systems theory has great potential for improving performance in all academic areas. Shouldn’t we investigate that information before we begin looking for a superintendent? We could hire an interim superintendent to serve while we examine ways to improve learning outcomes that will define the characteristics to search for. Standards of performance for each academic area are available on line through the state Education De-

partment’s websites. How to achieve these standards is being investigated through a project at the Keeseville Elementary School under the sponsorship of the Valcour Battle Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. Information about that project can be accessed through americaspastthroughtheeyesoflocalhistory.com. In preparation for selecting a leader for our school, we need more information about what is currently happening at the school, what is desired and what plans are being considered for making Willsboro Central a superior school. Anyone interested in initiating a regular school-oriented online publication containing investigative reports of public interest should contact Robert L. Arnold at P.O. Box 103, Willsboro, NY 12996 or rbrtarnld@aol.com. Contributors would be invited including students, teachers, administrators, board members, other staff, the public, town officials, professional consultants, state Education Department officials. An editorial board would ensure an informative, quality publication. ■ — Robert L. Arnold, a SUNY Professor Emeritus of Education, has been a resident of Willsboro since 1966 and a father, grandfather and great grandfather with connections to the school. Arnold has been selected to receive SUNY Potsdam’s “St Lawrence Academy Medal” for 2018

The thrift shop is also predictable: sales, bargains and mud! • After the March winds subside, we will love to take in more large items and furniture for the porch. • We are rethinking our closing on school snow days. Schools close at 6 a.m.; often by the time we open the sun is out and the roads are clear. We suggest if E’town school is closed, call to see if we are open or stop by when you’re in town. • We will close at 5 p.m. on Thursday March 27th so volunteers can attend church events.

Students turn fourth estate at Model UN NCCS program offers journalism exercise for students By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

CHAMPLAIN | A group of seven press corps members crowded into a small room, ready to hear from UN delegates on the fate of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. They heard from delegates from China, Russia, the United States and more about the criminal council proceedings where justices were trying to determine if the dictator was guilty of any war crimes. This was not something playing out in New York City or the Hague, but rather in Champlain at the annual Northeastern Clinton High School Model United Nations (UN), where students got the chance to step into the world of international politics — and for the first time this year, journalism. The press corps was the brainchild of NCCS senior Easton Francis. “I was in the press corps at the Harvard Model UN and thought it was a very challenging group but very fun as well,” Francis said. “When we came back, I suggested the idea of a press corps to the advisors here and they supported it right off the bat.” Francis served as the head of the press corps as she tutored a crew of seven on the first day of the Model UN March 15. “I really want this experience to the one I had with the Model UN at Harvard,” she said. “It lets the reporters get the chance to see every committee and be more involved in what is going on.” Francis gave out deadlines and offered

Miner of Saranac. “I am very interested politically about the freedom of the press, especially at these times, and I believe it is something that is very important,” said Pelton, who ends his days by reading three articles a night from a variety of national and international sources. “I wanted to do something that I was interested in and gave me the full experience,” he added. “The deadlines are something that surprised me, but I am learning how to adjust and maneuver with those.” “I did this last year and I wanted to challenge myself more,” King said. “I thought this was a great way to get into different con-

The group worked throughout the threeday event, posting events and stories online. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Time to get serious

The $1.3 trillion budget passed last week is expected to push our national debt to over $22 trillion, By Dan Alexander and this is only a six• PUBLISHER • month budget. Since 2007, the country has found itself held captive by feuding political gridlock. Nowhere in our history have we consistently seen this much-mismanaged legislation. Instead of working on a realistic budget, both sides claim to be held hostage to giving up a lot just to get a little. It’s long past time to remove the safety net that allows Congress to pass last-minute legislation none have read, and no one knows for sure what’s in it. If the voters expect to see stronger Congressional management of this nation’s spending, then we better get serious about it pretty darn quick. We must demand that the Senate return to a majority rule vote to send legislation to the president’s desk and not regularly stalled without 60 members in favor. We need the line item veto, allowed by many states which provide the elected executive a final opportunity to reject certain aspects of legislation deemed objectionable before signing into law. The president must be the adult in the room who is capable of doing more than thumbs up or down. Votes in favor or opposed as well as presidential vetoes will have significant consequences. Without placing true accountability on lawmaker’s shoulders, they will continue to spend us into oblivion, all to satisfy political partisanship and not the country as a whole. We’ve allowed them to divide into opposing sides. We end that charade by becoming independent thinkers and no longer allowing the parties to play us against each other. Winning or losing will now matter greatly. The result should be passing good legislation that best serves the country and earn the faith we’ve placed in them. Congress will return to seeking solutions instead of playing cat and mouse. The Senate will be forced to take action on legislation passed by Congress, and neither party can play spoiler unless they have the majority of the country behind them. As voters we must vote for the person who we believe can perform as promised regardless of party. Individual votes on ill-conceived legislation will have serious consequence for those who passed it. Republicans and Democrats will be required to vote independently of the traditional party lines, and votes will have significant meaning without the filibuster option to hide behind. ■

From the Editorial Board

Facebook should be raked over coals for data breach — but users should also be held accountable We used to get an endorphin rush from watching likes, follows and shares stream in on social media. We’re old enough to remember when Facebook was used solely as a way to connect with friends and family. But now it’s an all-encompassing nightmare that undermines our democratic ideals, cheapens public discourse and violates our privacy. The latest breach of trust is the emerging Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal. At least 50 million users had their data exposed to an outside researcher ostensibly to gather information on character traits via personality quizzes taken by a smaller subset of users. But the researcher gave that data to a firm called Cambridge Analytica, a company hired by President Donald Trump’s election campaign, who then used the information to try to influence the 2016 election. The largest data breach in the company’s history is just the latest black eye for a tech giant already in the crosshairs as a chief conduit in spreading fake news and Russian propaganda. Facebook has stopped short of labeling the Cambridge Analytica incident a breach. But the social media giant prohibits this type of data to be sold or transferred “to any ad network, data broker or other advertising or monetization-related service,” according to the New York Times, who broke the story earlier this month. Cambridge Analytica did anyway. After coming under heavy fi re by the public, politicians and investors, Facebook has pledged to tighten up their oversight process, auditing apps for potential misuse

of data in an effort to protect users. “We have a responsibility to protect your information. If we can’t, we don’t deserve it,” wrote CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a fullpage advertisement taken out in several national newspapers on Sunday. Zuckerberg also said Facebook would continue to tighten data restrictions on third-party developers and give users the tools necessary to disable apps with access to their data. Fair enough. But delete your account. No, seriously. We see no winners here except for the tech companies mining your data. While the phrase is often used as an insult in online culture, we consider neutralizing your Facebook presence to be valid advice. Our privacy continues to be eroded and these social media giants continue to monopolize every facet of our lives, namely through the data companies and marketing firms designed to scrutinize every aspect of our existence through the use of sophisticated algorithms. Keep in mind that the tracking of every like, favorite and share is technically legal, and sharing this info with marketing firms is essentially Facebook’s business model. But at what expense? For years now, the platform has been a dumpster fire of conspiracy theories, image macros and foreign propagandists that far outweighs any collective benefit the platform may have once had, including the opportunity to strengthen our local communities. At what point do we draw the line when it comes to letting outside actors infringe

on our personal privacy — especially when it comes to these foreign powers seeking to prey on our ignorance to undermine confidence in our democratic institutions? Zuckerberg should heed the calls by lawmakers to testify in front of Congress and justify what Facebook is doing to regain user trust and safeguard against further breaches — including those by foreign powers. Facebook should have done a better job of protecting user privacy. But we are also to blame for giving tech firms such a prominent role in our lives with such childlike naivety, taking quizzes and spreading digital rubbish with reckless abandon. Cambridge Analytica exploited a loophole in Facebook API that allowed the firm to collect data not only from the quiz takers themselves, but also from their Facebook friends. We concede the sustainable solution isn’t to ask everyone to delete their social media presence. No one reading this likely will. But it’s probably a good idea to develop a sense of social media fluency and literacy, and reduce your online footprint. Be vigilant — and watch out for hucksters. And we can ask Congress to draft some meaningful legislation to protect our rights as users, particularly as foreign governments continue to probe ways to sow discord in our democratic institutions. If not a catalyst for deleting your account, the scandal should at least serve as a giant alarm bell for users to be more discerning about their habits. — The Sun Editorial Board ■

Essex-Charlotte ferry robbed Cash taken from unattended till By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ESSEX | An alleged thief got more than a ride across the Lake Champlain last week, and is believed to have also departed the vessel with an undisclosed amount of cash after robbing the Charlotte to Essex Ferry. The theft took place Tuesday, March 20, on the 3 p.m. crossing from the Vermont (Charlotte) side of the lake to the New York (Essex) side, according to Vermont State Police. Sgt. Mike Kamerling of the VSP said the crossing does not have dockmasters over the winter months because of a decrease in traffic. Instead, commuters pay for their passage on the ferry. The current staffing will change after March 25.

At the time the cash was stolen, the register where the money was had been left unattended as crew members attended to other responsibilities, according to authorities. It was unattended for a short period of time, but long enough for the alleged thief or thieves to take off with the undisclosed amount of cash. Kamerling is waiting for information from the Lake Champlain Transportation Company, which runs the ferry. The case may also expand to include New York State authorities. Calls to LCTC were not returned as of Friday deadline. In October of 2016, the same route was victim of a robbery, as two masked thieves robbed the ferries in the early morning hours. The perpetrators held two overnight workers at gun point and sprayed them with pepper spray. Richard West and Tiera Herron were later arrested. ■ Authorities have asked anyone with information on the case to call the Vermont State Police at (802) 878-7111.

Vermont State Police are investigating a theft aboard the Charlotte to Essex Lake Champlain Ferry, where an undisclosed amount of money was taken from the commercial vessel March 20.

Survey needed for Wadhams sewer project The funding is based on financial need within the district. To find out the information, the town will be sending out surveys over the next two weeks in order to get information on household income. The town is working with the Essex County Department of Community Resources to help secure the funding, which will come from Com-

munity Development Block Grants. In order to qualify for these funds, the benefited area must be determined to be low or moderate income. The town will need the income data for each of the 42 households within the sewer district. Tyler said if information is not returned by homeowners, the town may have to go doorto-door in order to get the needed information.

Tyler said the results of the survey are completely confidential, If the survey results deem the district eligible for the grants, the funding would help keep district rates at a reasonable level. For more information, contact Tyler or George Hainer at 518-962-4419. ■

Essex County will not move forward on raising legal age — for now

Full cooperation needed in order to secure grant funding

By Keith Lobdell STAFF WRITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County lawmakers voted to table a resolution which would raise the legal age for the purchase of tobacco products from 18 to 21. In a motion to table moved by Essex Supervisor Ron Jackson and seconded by Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, the board voted unanimously to table the proposed local law. Jackson said the move to table came at the request of Essex County Health Director Linda Beers. “She said there were issues they wanted to come back to us on,” said Jackson. In a letter to the board, Beers said the decision to request the table came from a meeting of the Tobacco Subcommittee. “We reviewed the board of supervisors comments from the Human Services Committee meeting held March

12,” Beers said. “Although the resolution passed the board, we acknowledge there were questions raised that we left unanswered.” Beers said she and the subcommittee value the opinions of the supervisors and requested a “learning luncheon” with a group of panelists to allow a free flow of information and “a respectful dialogue around this important topic.” Several supervisors said they did have concerns with the local law during the March 12 meeting, including Minerva Supervisor Steve McNally, who said he wanted to make sure people knew it was not about the law itself. “I have no problem with raising the age or the proposed local law,” McNally said. “My concern is for the businesses in my town. If Essex County is the only government agency to move forward with this, then the 18-20 year-olds can go six miles down the road in either direction to Warren County and buy cigarettes. If they do that, then they will also by their gas and other items in Warren County and it will hurt my store owners in Minerva.” According to Jackson, the local law will most likely come up again after the groups meet. ■ The Essex County Board of Supervisors has tabled a proposed local law to raise the legal age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21.

Forestry reforms on the table as budget deadline nears Local governments concerned about offering tax breaks to loggers By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ALBANY | Stakeholders are making a final push for reform of a state program to give private forest owners tax breaks and other incentives to broaden sustainable forestry practices in the Adirondacks. The state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is a leading advocate of the Empire Forest for the Future Initiative (EFFI). DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos called the initiative “a milestone effort to protect and conserve the state’s vast forest resources held by more than 700,000 forest owners across New York.” “EFFI will provide great benefits to the public,” Seggos said, “including sequestering carbon, reducing the impacts of flooding, preserving wildlife habitat and helping the forest products industry grow sustainably in our state.” The current DEC-managed 480-a program provides tax abatements of up to 80 percent on property taxes for landowners who agree to reserve their land for timber production rather than development. But while 75 percent of the state’s forests are privately held, only 7 percent of eligible landowners participate. The threshold is currently 50 acres, and the reforms would reduce the acreage down to 25 alongside other initiatives, including requiring landowners to draft long-term plans for the parcels to map out work schedules and objectives to maintain forest health and wildlife habitat. Other efforts to boost enrollment in the new 480-b proposal include lessening administrative burdens and expanding eligibility to grant programs. Participants of the current 480-a program would be grandfathered in, but new enrollments would be halted.

LAWMAKERS REACT

As state lawmakers hurdle towards the unofficial March 31 budget deadline, the

proposal was included in Senate one-house bill, but not the Assembly version following numerous concerns from stakeholders. Local officials continue to harbor concerns about the proposed elimination of the stumpage tax paid by loggers to localities following a harvest. “We don’t think municipalities should be seeing any loss of revenue,” said Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages President Matt Simpson. “Municipalities should be made whole along with schools and counties.” Any little bit of funding helps localities craft their budgets, said North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore, who oversees a town where 77 percent of the land is state-owned. “To maintain services, we would have to raise taxes,” he said. Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury), ranking member of the Environmental Conservation Committee, said he likes many aspects of the program, but is mindful about the potential of another unfunded mandate. “I’d like to see this happen if it was the state who would cover tax costs,” Stec said. “It is a modest $3 million approximate total cost. Maybe this can get resolved in the negotiation process.” State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) said local governments throughout the state that lose tax revenue each year as a result of the current 480-a program. While the lawmaker was successful in 2004 in getting some money in the budget to help municipalities that were seeing the biggest losses, it wasn’t enough to reimburse everyone. “Not assuring reimbursement could further the financial hardship,” Little said. “The partial funding starting in 2004 was a bandaid. Now’s the time to do this right.” Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) met with landowners and local government officials last week. “While the proposal in the executive’s proposed form was not included in the onehouse Assembly budget, I am hopeful that the conference committees can come together and reinstate this language, while simultaneously addressing these concerns,” said Jones. Another sticking point is the proposed legislation would establish a timber harvest notification requiring landowners who intend to harvest to file paperwork with the DEC detailing information about their cut.

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. Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) supports reform, but also said local governments should not be forced to pick up another unfunded mandate. Photo provided via Twitter “We’re concerned about having to notified DEC for cutting on such small parcels,” Simpson said. “I think it’s going to be a regular issue.” Little agrees. “Everyone agrees that if a landowner is enrolled in a program in which they get a tax benefit, then state oversight is appropriate,” said Little, who spoke at the rally last week. “However, there are landowners who don’t want any assistance and don’t want the obligation of reporting to the State of New York.”

GREEN GROUPS SUPPORT

The proposal also includes a state procurement preference for New York-grown and manufactured wood products similar to those for food and dairy products. Environmental groups broadly support the measure, including the Adirondack Council, who has called the current laws “antiquated” and in need of reform for decades. “While not perfect, it contains many elements that conservationists, the forest products industry, private landowners and local officials have sought for a long time,” said Executive Director William Janeway. The Adirondack Council is pushing for local governments to remain financially whole with any reform. “As long as a community’s total assessments under 480-a exceed 1 percent of assessed value in the community, then the state will make up the difference in a state payment to the community,” said John Sheehan, a spokesman for the organization. EFFI would be a “vast improvement” on the current incentives for ecologically responsible commercial forestry and for wildlife conservation on private lands, said the

Elizabethtown-based organization. Broadening participation can be done without inadvertently incentivizing substandard forestry practices, questionable recreational development and increases in air pollution. The Adirondack Council wants to work with the DEC to ensure the program will not swing back the other way and indirectly incentivize clear-cutting without a cumulative analysis, and ensuring policies that are not carbon neutral — including too much wood-burning. The group is also mindful of owners of large tracts who may clear their land and tweak the acreage for recreational development, including the construction of roads and camping leases. “The state should have a chance to look at that development plan and approve it before it happens,” said Janeway. “It’s not a subdivision and it’s not a development from the perspective of big houses, but it is an impact on the land that could undermine the open space quality.” The state has until March 31 to hammer out a budget. Jessica Ottney Mahar, policy director for the Nature Conservancy, acknowledged the open questions on harvest notification provisions and on the impact on local governments. But the coalition of supporters is “hopeful” that the legislation will be in the final budget bills, she said. With changes in the federal tax code, landowners are under more pressure than ever to look for areas of tax relief, she said. “There’s a lot of good talk on how to come to agreement, and we’re confident it can be resolved before budget is enacted,” Mahar said. “I think everyone is at the table having those discussions and those issues are not insurmountable.” ■

‘Steady as she goes,’ says Nelson, pounding pavement in bid for Democratic nomination Candidates have until April 12 to get on ballot By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Patrick Nelson sat at a downtown Plattsburgh cafe last week surrounded by stacks of paperwork, clipboards and campaign literature. The candidate seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination for New York’s 21st Congressional District has just three weeks to collect 1,250 signatures to get on the ballot. Ray Bazydlo was among the clutch of volunteers suiting up for another day hitting the streets in an effort to wrangle in local support. “A lot of people aren’t too informed as I’d like that we’re having a primary,” said Bazydlo, who had been out for four days straight collecting signatures in Westport, Essex, Elizabethtown and now, Plattsburgh. “But I must say everyone is extremely receptive to signing our petition.” Nelson went through logistical details with Bazydlo, who lives in Essex, before he zipped up his coat and took off into the frigid afternoon landscape. Nelson followed close behind. Only registered Democrats can sign petitions ahead of the April 12 deadline. But the district has lots of mixed households, said Nelson, a 28-year-old political activist from Stillwater in Saratoga County. “A more open process would be good,” he mused. Nelson jumped into a well-worn SUV plastered with bumper stickers blasting the incumbent, Rep. Elise Stefanik, a Republican who is seeking a third term. Going out to collect signatures during the days can be slim pickings, he said. Nelson parked on Bailey Avenue and hopped out, scanning maps compiled using NationBuilder, a community action platform, with a campaign aide. “If folks are home, they’re usually not in the best of moods to talk to someone who knocks on their door,” said Nelson. Like shift workers, for instance. Early evenings are usually better, he said, but there really is no perfect time to knock on someone’s door to ask for their support. “You do get the risk of getting someone at dinner,” he said. “But hey, it’s a democracy.” Since he’s hit the road, the president’s controversial statements have continued to loom large in the minds of Democratic voters, said the candidate. “The president, ‘he’s gotta go’ is probably 40 percent of conversations I have with folks,” Nelson said. A sign on a front lawn read “You are welcome here.” The candidate knocked on the door, which Scott H. Smith immediately opened. “I’m Patrick Nelson, and I’m running for Congress,” Nelson told him. Smith asked when the election was. “It’s this November,” said Nelson. “Well, June. I’m running against Elise Stefanik.” He signed the petition. “Elise is not doing her job and she’s not talking to people,” said Smith. But before he takes on the lawmaker, Nelson must first dispatch six primary opponents, including Don Boyajian, Tedra Cobb, Emily Martz, David Mastrianni, Dylan Ratigan and Katie Wilson, all of whom are also circulating petitions. In addition, Wilson has secured the Working Families Party endorsement, and Lynn Kahn has announced she is seeking to run as an independent and on the Green Party line. Nelson bounded across the street, rapped on a door and stuffed a palm card into the doorframe. “Generally you can hear some type of stir,” Nelson said. “Knock, listen.” This isn’t the candidate’s first time circulating petitions. Nelson, a former legislative aide, served as a delegate for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) unsuccessful bid for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. And while Sanders was unsuccessful, Nelson has largely modeled his campaign after the senator’s populist brand of grassroots activism speckled with broadsides against income inequality. The candidate also boasts road-tested field experience, having run for local office and putting in time volunteering for the two previous Democratic nominees, Aaron Woolf and Mike Derrick, eventually running field operations for the latter’s 2016 effort, which he lost to Stefanik by 35 points. Lessons learned along the way in the mega-competitive

petition process include telling prospective voters to “sign how they vote” and try to have information on the form precompleted — except for their actual signature. Following the petition deadline, it’s standard operating procedure for campaigns to litigate to have signatures invalidated. “So long as the intent of the voter is there, it should be counted,” Nelson said. “But people can get nitpicky.” The candidate continued to prowl the neighborhood. Some folks weren’t home. Several declined to sign. Others said they didn’t want to be bothered. “I’m not interested,” said one man, who stopped and eyeballed the candidate, who had made it midway up his driveway. “Tell me one thing you can do to change Congress,” he said. “I believe in single-payer health care,” Nelson responded. In what amounted to a stand-off, the man warily eyed him before the candidate quickly segued into combating the role of money in politics, a chief campaign platform. The man dismissed him and started walking back inside, shooing off campaign literature. “I won’t read it,” he said. But he told Nelson his wife might be interested, and to come back later. “That went from a ‘go to hell’ to a maybe,” Nelson said. But rejection is all part of running for office, he said. And canvassing is always a mixed bag. Locking in signatures can be contingent on numerous variables, including how neighborhood house numbers are configured. Nelson has personally canvassed neighborhoods at least nine times since the petition process started on March 6, including in Lowville, Stillwater, Malone and Ogdensburg.

“We got hit with three snowstorms in the first week,” he said, “so that was tough.” He studied his clipboard, knocked on a door and a woman named Kathleen signed. “Do you have any questions about the federal government?” Nelson asked. “No, thank you,” said Kathleen. “The primary is on June 26 if you want to vote for me,” Nelson said. The temperature was 30 degrees and dropping. As the shadows grew longer, the candidate appeared to be in an enthusiastic mood, opining on everything from the current makeup of the Democratic National Committee, how to spur broader interest in civic engagement, government reform and what constitutes strong leadership from elected officials. “Do you have any concerns?” he asked a woman. “It’s been interesting,” she responded. Nelson gave her his 30-second campaign pitch and she listened attentively. “Everybody wants the gold medal, but we all want our teammates to do well,” Nelson said, referring to his Democratic opponents, all of whom are clamoring to cross the signature threshold. At another home, a man stuck his head through a cracked doorway. He was in the middle of a private music lesson, he told the candidate, before quickly scribbling his name down. “My wife isn’t home, but if you come back later, she’ll sign for you too,” he said. In the background, a trumpet tooted. Nelson trudged along for 30 minutes with mixed success, snaring signatures from a man in a soccer sweatsuit and a woman who blurted out unprintable language when told who Nelson was running against. “Steady as she goes,” said Nelson. “I’m confident these are good signatures. It’s a good neighborhood — lots of Democrats. But folks aren’t home from work yet.” He circled back around in an attempt to hit the addresses he missed. And then he ended back up at the home of the voter who shot him down. The door swung open and the two looked at each other. The voter, who eventually identified himself as an independent, peppered Nelson with questions for 10 minutes, grilling him on his ideas on how curb the opiate crisis, treatment options for incarcerated addicts and health care solutions. His wife came out and signed, and the two shook hands. “I’ll look for you,” he told Nelson before going back inside. Nelson got back into the car. “I’ll count that as a win,” he said. ■

Speedway sets schedule

The Valley News Sun | March 31, 2018 • 17

Airborne set for liftoff on April 28 By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

Local dirt track racing returns April 28 at Airborne Park Speedway, with several popular touring series coming to town.

PLATTSBURGH | With a new racing series and more events heading to town, Airborne Park Speedway is ready for what it hopes will be one of its biggest years ever. Less than one month away, Airborne will host its first race April 28, with post time at 6 p.m. All five of the regular racing divisions in action with the DIRTcar Sportsman Series will headline the card. “The 2018 season at Airborne Park Speedway will return the same five regular racing divisions, with one of them receiving a name change,” Communications Director Robby Knowles said. “The 358-Modifieds, Sportsman, Mini-Mods and Strictly Stocks will return under the same name, with the Renegade division being replaced with the title of Super Stocks.”

BIG EVENTS

Knowles said the highlight of the 2018 season will be the introduction of the World of Outlaw Sprint Car Series to the Cadyville dirt in July. “This event will have the greatest magnitude of any event run in the speedway’s existence,” Knowles said. “Drivers from across the United States and Canada will venture

to the four-tenths mile for the event that will payout over $52,000 in purse money on Wednesday, July 25.” In addition, the Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modifieds will return for the second season. They will be in action Tuesday, July 31, with over $33,000 is purse money. The Empire Super Sprints will appear twice in 2018. DIRTcar also has regional touring series that will stop at Airborne in 2018. The DIRTcar Sportsman Series and Pro Stock Series have a following throughout the northeast and into Canada. In a racing “exchange program,” Airborne and Mohawk Raceway will have a five race Sportsman Series this season with two events will be run at Airborne on May 26 and Aug. 11, while Mohawk will host July 20, Aug. 31 and Sept. 14. Each race will be a 50-lap distance. “With a year under our belt, we expect our product to get bigger and better and to see another increase in cars and our fan base,” Knowles said.

PRESEASON EVENTS, SPONSORS

There will be an Airborne Park Speedway car show at the

Champlain Centre Mall in Plattsburgh on Saturday and Sunday, April 14 and 15. Drivers will be on hand to meet with fans and display their cars for the upcoming season. The following weekend will be an open practice with a time to be announced at a later date. Returning for the new season as a title sponsor will be Egglefield Bros. Ford. In addition to sponsoring the 358-Modifieds, Egglefield also remains on the Official Pace Car and Official Pace Truck of the Airborne Park Speedway. Denny Egglefield has been a long-time fan and supporter of the Airborne Park Speedway. Egglefield Ford can be found not only on billboards or on pace cars, but also on race cars. The late Leon Gonyo was probably the most recognizable driver that carried the Egglefield name on their car. It wasn’t limited to him though, as the name could be found on a number of other cars throughout the garage area. ■

STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | AuSable Echoes 4-H Club member Conor Bushey was honored for exemplary volunteer service with a President’s Volunteer Service Award presented at an Essex County Board of Supervisors meeting. Bushey, 15, is a 9th grade student who attends AuSable Valley Central School and resides in Jay. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Essex County’s 4-H Program nominated Bushey for national honors. This award, which recognizes Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country, was granted by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program. Bushey has pursued his community service project with unbridled dedication and initiative, 4-H leaders said. “I hear that this generation is all about ‘me,’ with kids just thinking of themselves,” Bushey said. “I want my friends and other young people to experience the joy and satisfaction that I receive when helping others. The biggest impact I feel I have made is proving to others that one person really can make a difference.” He identified a cause to which he knew he could actively contribute – Special Olympics – and knew his personal action would be part of a solution to support under-funded athletes, 4-H Educator Linda Gillilland said. “It has been my honor to watch this young man grow up in the 4-H program,” said Gillilland. “I admire that Conor has embraced every new opportunity within 4-H and in his community. This » Mayor Cont. from pg. 1 Democrats Melinda Little and Patrick Nelson ran unopposed for village board vacancies in seats held by outgoing Conservative Party Trustee Allie Pelletieri and Democrat Trustee Tom Catillaz. Mayor Rabideau, a Democrat, sought reelection, also unopposed.

young man has completed many 4-H projects including woodworking, food preservation, quilting, environmental science and conservation, as well as teen leadership in his role as a 4-H junior shooting sports instructor in rifles.” But his greatest 4-H project work has been with his communication skills, she said. “The 4-H foundation piece known as Public Presentations launched Conor onto his path of community service,” she said. “Conor first harnessed his enthusiasm and support for fundraising by participating in the Polar Plunge for the Special Olympics. He represents everything that is great and good in our youth today.” Bushey decided that the Polar Plunge was not enough and wanted to reach out to other youths,

The Saranac Lake Republican Committee had no candidates seeking village Board of Trustee seats in the election this year. Election tallies were: Rabideau, 220 votes; Murphy, 237 votes and Little, 240. All will serve four-year terms. Rabideau was first elected in 2010 and 2018 starts his third term as mayor.

Both Little, 64, and Murphy, 28, are newcomers to village politics. “I am deeply appreciative of the confidence and responsibility placed in my hands and I am both honored and humbled by it,” Rabideau said in a statement. “I will do my very best to serve you. Second, I congratulate my fellow board

Gillilland said. “He began to challenge other 4-H clubs, students and teachers to join him in the Polar Plunge event,” she said. “Further, Conor challenged himself by giving presentations at area schools in Essex and Clinton counties. He has spoken to groups of 12 to 700 youths encouraging them to get out and volunteer for Special Olympics. He tells them they will make friends and have fun while doing something beneficial for others.” Bushey has personally raised more than $9,300. It takes $400 to sponsor an athlete for one sport. He has sponsored 23 Special Olympians on his own, but his goal is to provide 50 Special Olympic athletes the opportunity to participate, she said. ■
