TEACHING POSITIONS IN JEOPARDY

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT| Westport Central School is looking for a 9.98 percent tax levy increase for the 2018-19 school year. The school board’s request exceeds the state-allocated tax cap of 2.42 percent and therefore requires 60 percent super-

The override seeks to preserve 2.5 teaching positions and thus retain high school programs amid rising costs of health insurance and net reduction of state aid. “The budget proposal would increase a homeowner’s school tax bill for the 2018-19 school year by an estimated $102.19 for each $100,000 of assessed property value,” said Interim

Superintendent A. Paul Scott in a district budget bulletin. A homeowner may have STAR or other exemptions that would be factored into that individual’s school tax bill. Meeting the 2.42 percent tax cap, he said, “would almost certainly require eliminating the equivalent of approximately two-and-one-half full-time equivalent teaching positions (2.5 FTE).” And it’s “very likely,” he said, that at least some of those cuts to teacher positions would result in reducing secondary grades course electives and reducing the total number of course sections available for students next year. » WCS budget Cont. on pg. 2

intervention and evidence-based treatment. Raise the Age ensures that 16 and 17-yearolds won’t be incarcerated at Rikers Island and provides individual pathways for teens to seal prior convictions after a 10-year period free of further criminal behavior. The law becomes effective for 16-yearolds on October 1 this year and for 17-yearolds on Oct. 1 2019. Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) is working to update Adirondack facilities ahead of that deadline. But others are watching to see how programs adapt for youth within the same prison walls. Opening discussion locally, Dr. Alexandra Cox, a college professor who has worked with youth inside five New York juvenile facilities, suggests the system itself is a vise, thus a vice. Her research is presented in a new book: “Trapped in a Vice: the Consequences of Confinement for Young People” published by Rutgers University Press on January 30. » Incarceration Cont. on pg. 5

The Adirondack Correctional Facility in Ray Brook is undergoing a $23 million renovation project, preparing to house teens as part of New York’s Raise the Age reform legislation. Gov.

BIG CHALLENGES

Scott said community members had suggested during budget discussions that a singular full-time superintendent-principal position would result in lower costs than the current administrative staffing model, which employs a part-time, per-diem interim superintendent and a full-time building principal. The board’s proposed expenditures plan reflects that suggestion by budgeting a combined, singular full-time superintendent/principal at WCS beginning July 1. Scott also outlined stark challenges the school board faced in preparing the budget, including low student enrollment, meager year-to-year increases in state aid and modest property tax increases paired with expanding expectations for curriculum, instruction, support services, information technology infrastructure and safety and security. Annual cost increases for employee health insurance coverage and salaries are also a factor. The challenge comes amid ongoing review of possible district recentralization in a merger with Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School. The merger final report was presented to the Merger Committee and the public on Wednesday — after this editon went to print.

Consultants were not tasked with reviewing individual fiscal outlook if the districts do not merge. Scott’s own report found challenges similar to those ELCS Superintendent Scott Osborne presented to his school board last week. “Westport CSD’s finances will be further stressed in the years ahead,” Scott said. Forecasted annual cost increases outpace forecasted annual revenues, and efficient operation of instructional programs is problematic at WCS. “We enroll only 174 resident students, K - 12, and only 63 of those students are at the high school grade levels,” the report read. “Continued reductions to curriculum and program staffing are highly likely, as part of balancing income with expenditures.” The public hearing for the WCS proposed 2018-19 school budget is set for Tuesday, May 8, at 6 p.m. in the school’s library media center. The school budget vote is Tuesday, May 15 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the auditorium lobby at WCS. ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

What happens if ELCS doesn’t merge with WCS? ELCS super presents fiveyear school budget outlook: dwindling revenue, rising costs By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | At Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, officials see tough budget planning this year as a “canary in the coal mine.” Even though proposed spending for the 2018-19 school year is down about $110,000, the tax levy increase sits at the allowed tax cap increase of 3.09 percent, due in part to adjustments in property valuation. The estimated ELCS tax rate per $1,000 of real property value for the current year, 2017-18, is $13.32. The proposed rate for 2018-19 is $13.73, a 41-cent increase. It means the estimated tax increase on $100,000 home with STAR exemption would be around $28.81. At last week’s school board meeting, ELCS Superintendent Scott Osborne examined budget trends in context of ongoing merger discussion. “We’re at a really critical juncture in time,” he said. “We may have a sound plan (for next year), but how that fits into the future isn’t pretty.” Osborne said he has been asked many times by taxpayers, residents, students and parents what would happen if ELCS does not merge with Westport Central. While there is no crystal ball, he said, the merger would provide opportunity to plan for a sustainable future. “If there is no merger (with Westport Central), finances and programming are going to be stressed. Expenses are going to climb, while revenues will continue to decline or become more limited. Fund balances will dwindle quickly if used as artificial ‘revenue’ to close budget gaps. “The fact is,” he said, “I can’t guarantee (school tax rates) are going to drop (with a merger), but I can guarantee they can stabilize.” The “what if we don’t merge?” question is not part of Merger Committee review with education consultants at Castallo and Silky LLC, who are tasked with providing actual data regarding current and past trends related to finances, enroll-

ment, staffing, transportation, programming and facilities. The scope of their research does not include crunching numbers for individual schools going forward. That, Osborne said, is why he and Westport Interim Superintendent A. Paul Scott have reviewed budget planning projected out five years. “Based on current conditions, this is where we are going,” Osborne said, presenting an 11-page report titled “Planning for the Future.” The five-year projection reflects a drop in state aid and a projected $1.1 million in increased health insurance costs (approximately 8 percent per year). This year alone, Osborne said, insurance purchased through the school’s buyers’ consortium is up 23.5 percent. “Our health insurance costs are going up 10 percent at the mid-year point, and the consortium is expected to raise the cost 13.5 percent more. It is a self-funded consortium and currently working through a spike in very expensive claims that were unanticipated,” Osborne said. “Next year, we are allocating $1.7 million for health insurance, while the cost for the current year was $1.3 million. This is clearly our biggest cost driver.” Osborne’s five-year outlook puts health insurance costs by 2022-23 at $2.5 million. By 2022-23, transportation costs would likely drop by $88,000 while instruction costs would rise about $400,000. Osborne found, by 2022-23, it would take $659,869 in fund balance to meet an $8.8 million school budget. Changes in the revenue/expenses ratio by 2022-23 indicate a 4.1 percent increase in revenue pit against a larger, 7.4 percent increase in expenses. A merger would provide both districts with an opportunity to stabilize these costs and add substantial revenue, Osborne said. Merger study consultants have said the districts could see $7.92 million through incentive aid efficiencies alone, spread across the initial 15-year reorganization period. In a merged district, administrative costs could be reduced by approximately $220,400 per year, while savings for staffing could accrue to approximately $255,832. “Programmatically, a new school district would be in a strong position to sustain current educational programs for students and have a strong capacity to expand programs, perhaps with an eye on restoring many of the elective classes

There it is.” The ELCS School Board is not part of the Merger Committee, but will review the Final Report, possibly in June after state education officials approve it. In time, school boards will vote individually before sending any merger to a straw vote, which would likely happen next November. A final and formal referendum vote would be held next January if the plan makes it through the first rounds of approval. The Merger Committee will receive that Final Report at its meeting on Wednesday, April 25 at 6 p.m. at WCS. Osborne’s “Planning for the Future” report is available online and at the school office. Even with a merger, a recentralized ELCS/WCS district would remain a small school with fewer students than Moriah or Chazy Central schools with a total of approximately 450 students, kindergarten through Grade 12. Osborne pointed out that 80 years ago, on Sept. 28, 1938, Elizabethtown and Lewis voted to centralize their school districts. “Whether intentional or not, the successful merger vote in 1938 proved to be valuable foresight by the community -- today we can say it was a vote for efficiency and sustainability,” Osborne said. ■

Buff has lived with other dogs (with the proper introduction) but shows a bit too much attention to cats. Although he is a really great all-around dog, he really needs a dog savvy, breedorientated person to take him home, as typical of his breed, he can be a bit of bossy guy. His foster mom says this big handsome boy is truly worth the effort because in the end you will never find a more loyal and loving companion.

» Incarceration Cont. from pg. 1 Much like a machinist’s clamp, she said, the vise is “pushing young people to change through the use of intensive interventions and services, but also pulling them away from meaningful opportunities for growth and development.” Juvenile prison systems began long ago with reformatories for boys and its tenets haven’t shifted much over time. The theory for incarceration remains much the same, Cox said: Remove young people from their homes and family to move them away from the source of delinquency. The problem, Cox said, is far, far more complex in terms of youth emotional, social and cognitive function. “Are there ways help can hurt?” she asked rhetorically. Discussion settled on no one clear set of answers, but stirred through challenges of race, socio-economic conditions, poverty and adolescent development principles. Incarceration is particularly damaging during adolescence, Cox said, when brain function is fusing life-long response patterns. And to further the challenge, she said, juveniles are placed into probation programs designed for adults.

ABOUT COX

Dr. Alexandra Cox is currently guest lecturer at the University of Essex in England and previously worked with the ACLU Drug Law Reform project. Cox has also worked with the Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem and served with the New York State Defenders Association, Drama Club (which provides theater programming to incarcerated youth), Reentry Columbia, and Literacy for Incarcerated Teens. The discussion was presented by John Brown Lives!, a grassroots education and human rights project based in Essex County. To find out more: trappedinavice.com. An excerpt of Cox’s book is online at the Juvenile Justice Information Exchange: jjie.org/2018/01/29/bookexcerpt-their-former-offense-keepsblocking-them-from-moving-ahead. ■ “There are consequences to ways we intervene with young people in trouble with the law.” Without trauma-based treatment and education among improvements for socialization, reform might just look

like the same response inside newly painted prison walls. “Is the system the vise?” she said. The discussion drew a gathering here of about 15 people. Many were teachers or former teachers, others have training in counseling, medical and legal fields. Principles in Cox’s book suggest “we do not solve the problems of institutional harm by shifting young people from adult prisons to juvenile facilities.” And further that “young people’s wellbeing and dignity should be at the center of any institutional practices.” Asked how programs at Adirondack might affect the population at Moriah Shock, Cox said she has understood 16and 17-year-olds at Moriah would be moved to Adirondack. Other facilities in New York are being updated as part of Raise the Age reform. The state Office of General Services allocated $41 million in construction at two former juvenile justice facilities owned by the Office of Children and Family Services: the Industry Residential Center in the Town of Rush, and at the Harriett Tubman Residential Center in the Town of Sennett. Another $25 million in updates will be made to the Groveland Annex in the Town of Sonyea. ■

Annual Law Day breakfast slated Wilmington supervisor to be awarded for public service

ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex County Bar Association will host an awards breakfast on May 1 in celebration of Law Day. In recognition of his record of public service, Wilmington Town Supervisor Randy Preston will receive the Liberty Bell Award at the annual event hosted at Kanu, the Whiteface Lodge, at 8:30 a.m. The Liberty Bell Award is given annually to a non-lawyer who has stimulated a sense of civic responsibility and in particular, one who has given their time and energy to strengthen the effectiveness of the American system of freedom under law in keeping with the spirit of the Constitution. The price of admission is $22 per person and includes a

gourmet buffet breakfast. Reservations are required and may be made by calling Essex County Bar President Debra Whitson at 518-412-4111 or emailing her at debra@whitsonlawfirm.com. President Dwight D. Eisenhower established Law Day by proclamation in 1958 and the American Bar Association instituted May 1 as Law Day. By Congressional resolution in 1961, the first day of May each year was designated as Law Day to be set aside as a special day of celebration by the American people in appreciation of their liberties and the affirmation of their loyalty to the United States of America. This day provides an opportunity for every citizen to reflect on our legal heritage, the role of the law, and the rights and duties which are the foundation of peace and prosperity for all of us. The theme of this year’s Law Day celebration is “Separation of Powers — Framework for Freedom.” ■

My first dive into the world of call-and-response columns was received well by folks. I’ve had a lot of response to the final farewell of the Champlain Centre South By Keith Lobdell with the closing of the final remain• STA FF W RITER • ing original anchor store, K-Mart, earlier this month. The first thing that was brought to my attention was the mall was formerly called the Pyramid Mall — a name even in my youth I confused. Otherwise, there were also a lot of fond memories and stories shared by readers. From Keith Rabideau, we have a love story: “My wife and I worked and met in the old Champlain Centre South Mall. On the left of K-Mart was Bavarian Pretzel, my wife’s first job. Next to the eatery was Fay’s Drugs, my first job.” From Vic: “As a lifelong resident of Plattsburgh, I was there when the Champlain Centre South Mall opened. I do recall Jo-Ann’s Candy Store, Magram’s (with its two entrances from opposite sides of the mall), and for a brief time, even a Red Lobster.” Pauline Seymour said. “They did have a movie theater. That is where I brought my son to see “Star Wars,” somewhere around 1980 or a little later. We stood in line for a long time to get in to see that movie. They also had a Red Lobster I think after some of the stores closed. My husband said that McDental use to be in that mall also.” From Mary: “I remember the Pyramid Mall also having Fay’s Drugs, Magram’s, Montgomery Ward, a sock store, Friar Tuck bookstore, Ye Olde Smoke Shop and a restaurant called Roman Gardens.” Kester Banker wrote: “It brought back memories of when the mall opened and how exciting it was to go there the first time. It did, in fact, have twin theaters. I even have an old brochure. Thanks for bringing back some good memories!” Thanks to all for sharing, and I will have to do more of these columns to look back at some of the great memories made in the North Country. ■

Changing From the Editorial Board seasons Uncontested political races a disservice to democracy

I know what you’re thinking. We aren’t out of the woods just yet. Old Man Winter By Dan Alexander may still have an ace • PUBLISHER • or two up his sleeve, but there is nothing like that first day of a new season where it feels like it’s the right season. It doesn’t really matter if it’s the first significant snowfall of the winter, one of those sizzling hot days of summer, a cold crisp fall day or the first spring day when you can spend the day outside cleaning up after a tough winter and not wearing a coat, hat or gloves. Last weekend was one of those days where it just felt good to be outside after a long cold winter that doesn’t want to let go. Cleaning the sand off the driveway, washing the cars, cleaning up a billion pine cones, straightening out the garage and playing with the grandkids — it was an all-around glorious day. In fact, just thinking about the upcoming nice weather that’s nearly here makes some of the more difficult spring tasks ﬂy by. Even after 60-some years on this earth, I can still remember the excitement of the changing season as a young child. It never seems to get old, and only better as the seasons come back around faster and faster through the years. It’s odd, but when you’re in the middle of a season, it feels like it will last forever but once it changes you wonder how it slipped by so fast. While I appreciate all four seasons here in northern New York, I must confess I could do with a little less winter. Not so much the snow, but certainly the ice and the frigid cold, especially as I get older. As the warmer weather sets in, the opportunity to get around and enjoy the outdoors without keeping an eye on the advanced weather forecast keeps life simple and on schedule without surprise or unexpected crises that always seem to arise during the winter months. I know we live in a winter wonderland, but the economy up here seems to kick into gear once the days get longer and mother-earth gets closer to the sun. The region comes alive with more traffic, and the return of our southern snow-birds after seeking the warmer climate for a few months. Winter is an important season, and I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for spring, summer and fall. ■

It’s a midterm election year. As the weather warms along with the political calendar, it’s time for us to get on our high horse and tout the benefits of civic engagement. While all the focus is on state and national politics, it’s shaping up to be a sleepy year at the local level. Clinton County Sheriff David Favro is running unopposed. Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting is retiring at the end of this year. Two candidates were in the running to succeed him, but one dropped out last week after the Essex County Republican Committee endorsed the other, leaving the race uncontested. Warren County has just two county coroner positions up for election. In fact, the dearth of candidates at the local level is more of the norm than the exception. While candidates and party brass are undoubtedly breathing a sigh of relief at what may appear to be an effortless glide to November, the voters are the ones who ultimately lose when races go uncontested. The lack of subsequent debate and discussion is a disservice to the community.

House GOP eying balanced budget — but only after increasing the deﬁcit

To the Editor: Th e House of Representatives has just endeavored to save its reputation as the party of fiscal responsibility by trying to pass a bill calling for a balanced federal budget. This effort was supported by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro), among others, but did not pass the Republican-controlled House. Why now? Why didn’t the Republican Congress worry about deficits before it passed a $1.5 trillion tax-cut package last December? Why were deficits not a concern when Congress passed a $1.3 trillion budget in March? These bills that blow up the deficit were signed into law by a Republican president. Now, suddenly, the very people who voted to increase deficits and the debt in a big way get religion about deficits after taking actions to increase them.

Essex County, for instance, would benefit from a sustained community discussion if the sheriff ’s office should supplement local police departments with road patrols, especially as opiates continue to present considerable problems in the community, including an uptick in crime. Or what about armed resource officers at schools? Gun control is continuing to play a prominent role in our national discourse since a massacre at a Florida high school in February that killed 17. Kids are leading the discussion. Shouldn’t they be joined by officials in a public setting? Competitive sheriff ’s races across the North Country would foster a sense of discourse that so many are aching to have at the local level. Just ask Rep. Elise Stefanik, who has been in the hotseat for her stance on gun control, with constituents pleading with the lawmaker to do more to combat the rash of violence. Or Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is fending off challenges from both his right and left flanks. Speaking of Stefanik: While the secondterm lawmaker acknowledges re-applying for her job every two years is part of the solemn duties of Congress, we can’t imagine she’d be

Speaker Paul Ryan and others have made no secret of their intention to use growing deficits as an excuse for slashing programs like Social Security and Medicare. If a Republican Congress is elected in November, it will lose no time cutting these programs, which working people need in retirement. That $1.50 per week cut in taxes that Mr. Ryan tweeted about on Feb. 3 while praising the tax bill won’t amount to much in the face of deep cuts in Social Security and Medicare.

Glad to see climate change at forefront of Congress race

To the Editor: Spring is finally making its way into our lovely Adirondack mountains! I am anxious to get out and enjoy some much-needed sunshine and warm weather. This winter has been long and cold, so sometimes I think it is easy for people to forget that the planet is warming. The instability of our climate is

terribly disappointed if she ran unopposed. But from now until June, expect the crowd of Democrats to pummel the lawmaker as they seek to run against her in this November’s general election. Republicans are lashing the f ield as “divided and in disarray.” It’s an attack that needles Democrats, we suspect largely because they still haven’t fully regrouped after their biting 2016 losses and are still trying to figure out where to go as a party. While a slugfest is necessary — and is entertaining to watch — what the GOP probably should acknowledge is that the unruly field is generating a valuable discussion of the issues. It’s nice to see so many people engaged in the political process, discussing with a remarkable degree of fluency concerns from across the ideological spectrum, from the cost of prescription drugs to environmental safeguards. Despite wherever you stand from a political standpoint, this discourse is the foundation of our civil society, and makes us all the smarter, more educated and informed as a result — even if it is messy. — The Sun Editorial Board ■

maddening — fluctuating temperatures rocked our region all winter long, with periods of 50 and 60-degree weather wreaking havoc on the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Ice Palace back in February (luckily, not until after the carnival itself had ended). My local volunteer fire department was deployed to the Hogansburg area during that warm period. A lot of homes were flooded by an ice jam on the river. Our volunteers were there for about a week trying to help. It’s the instability that’s wreaking havoc, and it’s alarming to say the least. With that said, I am glad to see that climate change is a hot topic among the New York 21st Congressional District’s Democratic candidates. It seems that all of them are on board with fighting climate change and considering that one of them will hopefully unseat Rep. Elise Stefanik, we should expect no less. I would like to point out that Dylan Ratigan was recently criticized for not mentioning the environment on his website, but in fact he does mention it on the

Let’s hope that we can turn this scenario around for the better and invest in renewable energies for our future. In the meantime, we should all just get outside and enjoy the nicer weather.

Early voting would increase taxpayer burden

To the Editor: Recently there have been many discussions in Albany concerning a new program to increase taxes on all New Yorkers. The program is called “early voting.” Gov. (Andrew) Cuomo is a proponent of this additional tax burden.

Registration open for annual craft fair

KEENE VALLEY | Registrations are now being accepted for the 24th annual Craft Fair, sponsored by the Essex County Masons, on July 21-22 at the Marcy Airfield in Keene Valley.

For more in» Letters Cont. from pg. 6 With New York already in a dire financial condition, the last thing we need is another spending idea. It is not an honor to be the number one tax state out of 50 states. Here in Hamilton County, “early voting” would require the purchase of at least one additional voting machine at a cost of $11,000 and then securing trained personnel to man the poll site for at least 13 days. The voting machine site would need to be manned, bi-partisan, eight hours per day weekdays and five hours on Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays. This labor cost would exceed another $7,000. All this and then residents in some parts of Hamilton County would still have to commute close to an hour just to reach the polling location. And then there is the cost of all the required legal advertising. All this cost for a county with under 5,000 residents. How much will it cost statewide? We already have a mechanism to allow “early voting” — it is called “absentee ballot.” Just contact the Board of Elections office in Lake Pleasant and ask them to mail you the absentee ballot application. For the cost of a stamp all of the time, energy and additional tax dollars can be avoided. Bill Murphy, Chairman Hamilton County Republican Committee ■

If Trump ﬁres Mueller, we’re ready to hit the streets

To the Editor: We are so fortunate to live in this democracy, where we are free to voice our opinions without fear of a knock on the door in the middle of the night. We can hold peaceful public rallies for or against government actions or inactions without fear of facing riot police. We can walk our talk when we decide it’s necessary. And if President Trump does anything to obstruct the completion of the Mueller investigation, it is our right and duty as freedom-loving citizens to send a strong message to Washington that obstruction of justice is as unacceptable for a President as it is for any American. To that end, many individuals and organizations around the country are working to coordinate timely rallies in the event the president, despite statements to the contrary, commits some act to interrupt the investigation. There are many rallies planned regionally (including Plattsburgh, Glens Falls, Canton, Saratoga Springs, Watertown, and Burlington) and now there will be one in Saranac Lake for those interested. Please Google “Not Above the Law” to visit the website (for the online readers: act. moveon.org/event/mueller-fi ring-rapid-response-events/search) for more information about the organizations, the purpose, the locations, the simple sign-up process, and

the “red lines” that would activate rallies across the country. To be clear, we hope that such gatherings would not be necessary. We sincerely hope the president will allow the completion of the investigation. If there was no collusion with the Russian government as the White House frequently asserts, then a completed investigation will prove so, erasing all doubt and giving the president much more public support and credibility.

Baﬄed by Elizabethtown intersection solution

To the Editor: I am 100 percent baﬄed by the proposed solution to the Elizabethtown traffic pattern. I cannot imagine anything more annoying or dangerous to motorists than a four-way stop at the current blinker light intersection. Even a bona fide traffic light has real issues due to “the hill” situation that is unique to this intersection. A four-way stop will do nothing to make that intersection safer, especially in slippery conditions. I can just imagine the winter chain-reaction crashes on that hill as the lead car tries to come to a full stop. I agree with another writer who says that the best solution is the current blinker light that gives the hillside motorists the right of way. If necessary, put up new signage for the blinker light, but I cannot understand the thinking that a confusing four-way stop will solve any problems whatsoever. Please don’t even consider making this dangerous mistake. Sue Reaser, Westport ■

Impeach them all

To the Editor: Bravo to the Vermont sportsmen for standing up to a corrupt government that is violating their Second Amendment. Time for New York state sportsmen to do the same here. Fifty-two counties are not wrong! (Gov. Andrew) Cuomo has just shown he loves only rapists, murderers, criminals and illegals. He hates all law-abiding gun owners and Americans.

Guest viewpoint

Working across the aisle to tackle prescription drug costs As I continue to meet with constituents across the district, healthcare issues such as cost, quality, and access conBy Rep. Elise Stefanik tinue to be of signifi• GUEST COLUMNIST • cant concern. Throughout my time in Congress, I have worked to deliver bipartisan results to improve North Country healthcare. I was proud to lead the legislative effort to reauthorize funding for Community Health Centers that support over 95,000 patients in our district, and I worked to pass a 10-year authorization of the Children’s Health Insurance Program that supports over 21,000 vulnerable children across the North Country. These were major bipartisan victories and results that will have an immediate, significant impact on our district. At my recent town halls in South Glens Falls and Moriah, one issue raised by constituents was the high cost of prescription drugs. North Country families continue to struggle with expensive prescription drugs, and in fact, one in four people across the country have reported difficulty affording their medications. In his State of the Union address in January, President Trump said addressing prescription drug costs is one of his highest priorities, and he is preparing a major speech on the issue later this week. I wanted to take this opportunity to address constituents with the details on my efforts in Congress to tackle high prescription drug costs. One of the major obstacles to accessing affordable drugs is a slow approval process at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). On average, it takes about 12 years for an experimental drug to move from the laboratory to your local pharmacy. Last Congress, I was pleased to support the 21st Century Cures Act that was signed into law. This legislation made many reforms to our healthcare system, including streamlining our FDA approval process so that patients can receive affordable, generic treatments in a timelier manner. Additionally, it increases accessibility to clinical trials and improves the FDA’s ability to hire scientific experts. We also must address the tremendous costs associated with research and development (R&D). One way to help reduce R&D costs is by supporting this innovation at the

federal level so these costs are not borne by the drug manufacturers, and thus passed down to consumers. Since I arrived in Congress, I have consistently voted and advocated in support of increased funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world’s premier institute for medical and public health research. In fact, in the last government funding bill, I supported a $3 billion spending increase, bringing NIH’s total budget for 2018 up to $37 billion. In rural districts like ours, the 340B program is another important component of reducing prescription drug costs. The 340B program allows drug manufacturers participating in Medicaid to help safety-net hospitals and community health centers provide their patients with 25 to 50 percent discounts on medicines and other life-saving services. This drug pricing program enables vulnerable and uninsured patients to access prescription drugs and other treatments that they otherwise would not be able to afford. I am an outspoken supporter of this program and have cosponsored legislation (H.R. 4392) that would fight back against proposed cuts to certain drugs that are covered under the 340B program. I have also cosponsored legislation, the Prescription Drug Price Transparency Act, which imposes greater transparency standards on pharmacy benefit managers to ensure that drug pricing information is better passed along to consumers and incentivizes pharmacists to promote more affordable, generic drugs. In addition, I recently cosponsored the Prescription Transparency Act, which protects a patient’s right to know about lower-cost drugs when visiting their local pharmacies. Currently, pharmacy benefit managers can include “gag clauses” in contracts preventing pharmacists from alerting consumers at the counter when there is a medication available that may be cheaper if they pay for it out-of-pocket. This bill prohibits the use of “gag clauses,” which I believe can lower costs for many constituents. There is still much more work to do to bring down the costs of prescription drugs for families in our district. As President Trump details his ideas and plans to address this important issue, I will be listening intently and look forward to continuing to lead on this issue in Congress. ■ — Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) represents New York’s 21st Congressional District

MALONE | The Franklin County Board of Legislators did not even bring up Clinton Community College during its April 19 meeting.

tinued overnight, including taking witness statements from patrons of the bar. The road reopened Monday morning. Cutting was a 2005 graduate of Moriah Central School, and worked in operation vehicle maintenance for the Essex County Department of Public Works for the last two years. Sprague was employed by Luck Brothers construction of Plattsburgh as an equipment operator. Sprague is the younger brother of Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague. First Assistant DA Michael Langey was at the scene Sunday assisting with the investigation. The investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to contact the New York State Police at (518) 873-2750. The last murder in Moriah was 22 years ago. Paul J. Taylor, was convicted of killing Marcus Chadwick of Pittsford, Vt. on May 3, 1996, by placing a tree on Chadwick’s chest and leaving him on a trail off the Tracy Road in Moriah. Chadwick died of chest compression and exposure. Taylor was paroled in 2010, but convicted of killing a man in Keeseville in 2012, and is serving a life sentence for that murder. Many of Mr. Sprague’s friends and family members took to social media after the murder to express their grief. “So very sorry for you loss, heartbroken by the senselessness of it and saddened that the whole community grieves for the loss of more of our hometown tranquility,” Gail O’Dell wrote on Facebook. “Thoughts and prayers for you all. R.I.P. Boomer.” ■

Brian Venne, and remanded to the Essex County Jail without bail, state police said. The responding troopers and Essex County Sheriff’s deputies located the suspect about a block from the scene and took him into custody without incident, authorities said. The handgun he used was recovered from his pickup truck back at the club. Both men were Moriah residents and had been drinking in the club’s bar when they began to argue, according to reports from the scene. A preliminary investigation revealed the altercation in the bar resulted in Cutting being ejected, and continued into the parking lot, where Cutting retrieved a handgun and shot Sprague, state police said. New York State Police were called to the club, Fraternal Order of Eagles Adirondack Aerie 4410, about 8:30 p.m. on Sunday for a report of a shooting. The Eagles Club is located on County Route 7 (2787 Center Road), and opened in a former coin-operated laundry in 2016 after moving to Moriah Center hamlet from Ticonderoga. Moriah Ambulance Squad was called to the bar with police, but did not transport anyone. Essex County Coroner Francis Whitelaw was summoned to the site later and authorized removal of the body to the Albany Medical Center for an autopsy to be performed by Dr. Michael Sikirica later Monday.

Bennett named Athletic Director of the Year Saranac Lake A.D. honored with state award By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

SARANAC LAKE | The head of Red Storm athletics has been honored by the New York State Athletic Administrator’s Association as the Outstanding Athletic Administrator in Chapter 7. Eric Bennett, who also serves as the head coach of the Saranac Lake varsity football team, was honored by the NYSAA at their annual conference awards banquet held in Saratoga last month. Bennett is in his fourth year as A.D. “It’s always an honor to be recognized by one’s peers,” said Bennett. “The Section VII athletic directors are an incredibly hardwork-

ing group and it’s a privilege to interact with them on what amounts to a daily basis.” Bennett said his goal is to make sure the students of Saranac Lake, along with teams throughout the section, receive a positive experience as student-athletes. “Sports did so much for me throughout my life and I appreciate the opportunity to facilitate the same for our kids,” he said. “Eric is insightful and observant within the CVAC and Section VII,” said Matt Walentuk, Section VII Director and NYSAAA Chapter representative. “Eric has played an integral role in helping to push for the use of online scheduling and helped navigate Section VII towards improved communication through the use of specific software.” Josh Harrica, CVAC president, recalled Bennett as an active champion both within Section VII and his own school district. “Serving as the head football coach and athletic director, Eric is a role model to student athletes and has been an outstanding col-

league to fellow athletic directors throughout Section VII,” Harrica said. “Eric understands the value of athletics in education and wants to ensure that the student athletes have a positive experience.” As athletic director at Saranac Lake, Bennett has brought the sport of unified basketball to the school (their first home game is April 23); helped structure a successful girl’s hockey merger with Lake Placid, and worked to allow student-athletes the ability to compete in two sports in the same season. Bennett has also served as the NYSAAA Assistant Chapter 7 Representative since 2016. Prior to becoming athletic director, Bennett coached high school football since 2003 and been head varsity coach since 2010. In 2012, he was named CVAC football coach of the year. ■

Ti Alliance, NCCC unveil new plan for applied tech school Alliance would buy former Lowe’s, lease to NCCC

FUNDING

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

SARANAC LAKE | Not long after Essex County lawmakers cast a vote of “no confidence” in North Country Community College leadership, members of Ti-Alliance along with NCCC officials brought the idea of a trades school back into the picture in an informational meeting at the Saranac Inn last week. Donna Wotton, executive director of Ti-Alliance, said there is enough interest from private investors to attain the former Lowe’s store in Ticonderoga and lease it to the college for a school of applied technology. “We are re-presenting this issue of a school of applied technology because we are now in a much better position to talk about a way to do it than we were two years ago,” said NCCC Board Chairman Steve Reed. “There have been new areas of fundraising put forth in detail.” Reed said faculty will have the chance to hire someone to look at the feasibility of the program, costs and impact on curriculum. “Once the report is completed, we will have a far clearer picture of where we can go with this,” Reed said. “We feel the education pillar from this project is an important part of helping the economic landscape in the North Country,” said Wotton. “From the governor to our supervisors, they have all been talking about the need because we do not have an applied technical component.”

THE NEED

Wotton pointed to International Paper as an example of the need for technical training in the region. “They have 20 vacant positions daily because they cannot either find qualified applicants or they cannot fill the positions fast enough,” she said. “We need to look at those areas in the workforce and focus on what is not being served.” NCCC President Steven Tyrell said the school could give those who graduate from technical programs through BOCES a chance to continue their education. “Graduates in the trades programs do not have a next place to go in this region,” he said. Wotton added, “it’s a shame when people say the second biggest export from the North Country is our youth.” Programs for the school would include carpentry and painting, HVAC and plumbing, electrical trades, auto and diesel and facilities maintenance tech. “We feel these programs will provide the biggest impact and are the strongest offering,” said Wotton.

Wotton said she felt the Ticonderoga community will be able to invest into the school. “We feel very strongly that we have the ability to fund the program,” she said. “We are prepared to pay for the facility and lease it to North Country. We feel we can have $2 million within our inner network and through outreach, we have the capability to put in $3.5 million all together into the program.” The alliance, she said, feels the project is needed and will be a corner stone of economic development in the region. Wotton said there would be an investment by the school through fund balance, which Reed said would be less than 20 percent. Wotton also said she felt both Essex and Franklin county should be adding their backing. “We think everyone should be all in,” Wotton said. “This program will be a benefit and we believe there should be some amount pledged by the counties.” Tyrell said the college would benefit from the program, making over $197,000 through the program annually if operated at 78-percent occupancy. Tyrell added if the program was operated at a daily max of 185 students, the school would generate over $583,000; and if it operated with evening classes to give as many as 300 students a chance to enroll, the school would gain almost $695,000 in funds.

QUICK TIMETABLE

Wotton said she would like to see the school of applied technology in place by the fall of 2019. “It is an aggressive plan,” Wotton said. “We have seen this thing get toed up before and we want to see this move forward at a reasonable pace.” “It would be a good and fast return on investment,” Tyrell said. “We need to be forward looking and we need to show the counties that we are going to have the programs that will keep our students here,” Reed said. Reed added the college and Ti-Alliance will be looking to present to both Franklin and Essex counties soon. St. Armand Supervisor Dean Montroy, a member of the Essex County Board of Supervisors, attended the meeting, saying he liked what he heard. “I think this is what the county has been wanting to hear about,” Montroy said. “I would love to see them bring this to the board and it is a confident idea because we really need to have a placed to train skilled workers to stay in this region.” When asked if he felt the action of a “no confidence” vote from the Essex County helped move this presentation forward, Montroy said, “I think so.” NCCC Communications Director Chris Knight said the program had been talked about for some time, and the presentation was held as previously scheduled. ■

“There’s No Business Like Show Business”

“There’s No Business Like Show Business” is the kind of tune that can really get stuck in your head, especially after eavesdropping on Pleasant Valley Chorale rehearsals. By Arin Burdo Everything about it is appealing! • COLUMNIST • Almost everyone knows an Irving Berlin song or two. They are classic and catchy and generally make you smile. Do not miss the opportunity to smile along with the chorale at their upcoming presentation of their spring program, “Irving Berlin: A Century of Song.” Berlin is widely considered to be one of America’s greatest songwriters. Other delightfully familiar earworms in the spring program include “God Bless America,” “Blue Skies” and yes, “White Christmas” — which they will sing, even in May! The Pleasant Valley Chorale will perform on Friday, May 11 at 7 p.m. in the Essex Community Church in Essex, and Sunday, May 13 at 3 p.m. at the United Church of Christ in Elizabethtown. Admission to the concerts are free; good will donations are accepted at the door. The chorale is directed by Susan Hughes, accompanied by Kerry Mero, and sponsored by the Elizabethtown Social Center. Early registration for this year’s Pratt Run is due Friday, April 27. Guarantee a “Team Darlene” t-shirt in your size by registering early. The Pratt Run will be offered this year by friends of Darlene and Denny Mitchell. Darlene is hospitalized in Boston, awaiting a heart transplant. All proceeds from the run will go to Darlene and Denny Mitchell for expenses associated with her health care. The Pratt will be held on Saturday, May 12. Registration will be from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. at the social center, or register before race day at the center during open hours. Participants may choose between running the classic Pratt course, a 4.4 mile fun run along Route 9 from Lewis to the social center; or the Half Pratt, a 2.4 mile fun run/walk from the Ray Woods Road. More information can be found on the social center website and on Facebook. Details can be found at elizabethtownsocialcenter.org and on Facebook.

» Sheriff Cont. from pg. 1 Reynolds received 2,083 weighted votes compared to Essex County Undersheriff Michael Badger’s 996.5. “The Republican candidate for the Essex County Republican Committee for sheriff will be Major Reynolds,” said Essex County GOP Chairman Shaun Gillilland. Reynolds, 42, has been with the agency since 1999, serving as chief deputy since 2009. “There’s a lot of work to do,” Reynolds said. “I want to thank Mr. Badger for running a clean campaign to this point.” Reynolds said he placed a high value on collaboration and teamwork, including the relationship between local school districts, the county and the sheriff’s office. He has also expressed the need to increase training and boost resources to combat drug abuse, domestic violence and child abuse. “I will take an active role to make sure the sheriff’s office is proactive rather than reactive,” Reynolds said. In comments ahead of the vote, Badger had called for Essex County to pair with school districts to provide resource officers and the need to grow the department without placing a burden on county taxpayers. Badger said he will exit the race and not wage a primary challenge. “I would like to thank the committee members who supported me and all of the members who found the time to meet with me over the last few months,” Badger said on

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

Friday. “I wish the best of luck to my opponent in the future.” Badger has worked for the department for 31 years and said he will retire at the end of the year. Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting has announced he will not run for a third term and will retire in January. Cutting stayed neutral during the contest. “They’re both qualified candidates,” he said afterwards. Derinda Sherman nominated Reynolds, calling him “polite, even-tempered, hardworking and competitive,” citing his community involvement. Essex County Clerk Joe Provoncha nominated Badger, citing his work to stamp out drug addiction through a prepared statement read by a proxy. Badger’s exit from the race leaves Reynolds as the only candidate. Essex County Democratic Party Chairman Bethany Kosmider did not immediately respond for comment asking if the party planned on fielding candidates in November’s general election. Republicans also nominated Essex County Treasurer Mike Diskin for another four-year term. Diskin cited his work serving at the local level as well as on a number of state and national associations, including stints as the state director and later president of the National Association of County Treasurers. “I appreciate the support from this committee and I look forward to serving you for another four years,” Diskin said.
