ELCS-WCS merger report ready for state review

NEXT STEPS:

PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSIONS

The merger final report was released to the state Education Department for their approval. Consultants and school administrators are hopeful that state ed will complete their review by June, although it may take until August. After that, school boards will take up the merger discussion. WCS and the ELCS school boards will vote individually whether to move ahead to public information session. If either board votes to end merger discussion, the process stops. If both boards vote to continue, then they would hold public information sessions, working to inform residents in both districts and answer any questions. A non-binding straw poll vote would likely be held in November to see if district taxpayers support a new, combined school district. If the idea to merge is voted down at that time, the process ends. If the straw poll supports continued review, the boards would begin working on a formal proposal, which would go to a final referendum vote in January. ■

Westport, ELCS merger discussion will go next to school boards By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT| Presentation of the formal merger study final report to the stakeholder committee last week moves the Westport Central-Elizabethtown-Lewis Central centralization discussion toward school board review. This ends the research phase and begins the voting phase, according to Bill Silky, consultant with Castallo & Silky LLC who led the research team. Elizabethtown-Lewis Central (ELCS) and Westport Central (WCS) schools are considering whether to reorganize into a single Westport-Elizabethtown-Lewis district with approximately 450 students. The consultants did not make any decision to merge. But they provided 16 recommendations for a new district if reorganization moves forward. The recommendations provide a snapshot of what a merged school might look like and offer something of a “road map” forward. Recommendations suggest that it would be “most appropriate” for students pre-kin-

DREAM REALIZED: MURPHY PLACES SECOND AT BOSTON MARATHON Braves rain and cold to finish By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

KEESEVILLE | “We can give up or we can get up.” That’s what Devann Murphy said to a fellow competitor as they went up a hill in the Boston Marathon last month, celebrating Patriot’s Day in the Commonwealth and a personal goal for the hand cyclist. Murphy ended up placing second in the marathon, with the only competitor beating her being a paralympic medalist. “I was very clear in my goals,” she said. “I wanted to get to Boston, finish in under two hours, 30 minutes, and place second because I knew the person who finished in first would be there.”

dergarten through Grade 6 to remain in place at their current school buildings in Westport and Elizabethtown. The report suggests that Grades 7 and 8 could be located at a middle school in WCS’ existing school building, and that the high school, Grades 9 through 12, could be established at ELCS. In a merged district, the new district’s school board “should attempt to develop more elective courses for students at the high school level,” according to one recommendation. The final report suggests a new school could be built sometime in the next 10 years at a cost of approximately $50 million. Of that cost, the state would fund 90 percent of new construction, or approximately $45 million. District taxpayers would provide the $5 million balance. Capital project monies could also be used to repair and update both buildings and the school bus garages as they sit without building a new school. » Merger report Cont. on pg. 15

Local firefighters join officer ranks Officers serve in nine departments throughout Essex Co. By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

KEENE | There are 20 new fire officers in Essex County. Officer 1 course graduates received their certificates at the Keene Volunteer Fire Department firehouse last Thursday. They hail from nine departments throughout the county. Two fathers completed the course with their sons: Timothy Clark Jr., and Timothy Clark Sr., of Elizabethtown and Billy Petro III with his dad, William Petro Jr., of Moriah. The Petros said it was a great accomplishment done together. Instructor Kevin Woodruff, of Vermontville, provided the course through Essex County Emergency Services. Woodruff is a longtime member of the Bloomingdale Volunteer Fire Department who works with the state Office of Fire Prevention.

It was the second class in six months, he said, their office having successfully trained 34 fire department officers in that time. It is by all counts a rigorous course that comes after several years of experience fighting fires. Some 63 hours of class time involves another 20 hours of homework through 11 chapters of fire response and safety training. “Each had to complete (tactical) pre-plans of a building in their area,” Woodruff said after honoring each graduate. The instructor encouraged the new officers to continue with their first responder education, and thanked families for their support. Newly certified in Officer 1 in Keene, Dan Plumley said it was a call to volunteerism that brought him to this task. Plumley worked previously as a forest firefighter with heli-tack jump teams in Sequoia Kings Canyon, protecting the giant Sequoia trees in California. But it was caring for his elderly father in their home town that put him back in touch with firefighting. “For over six years, I took care of my father with dementia,” he said. “And calls to Keene Fire and EMTs for several difficulties helped me realize the need here for first responders. I had said then, once my

dad passes, I would sign up.” Plumley completed the early training courses and has been with Keene’s Volunteer Fire Department for about four years. “Over that time, I have had the opportunity to give back to my community,” he said. Trained fire officers are part of the internal support structure for fire companies around the country. “They are a mainstay to the chiefs. One important step, looking ahead,” Plumley said, “is building a new story that tells why we need more volunteers.” Working toward that very goal, Town of Keene Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson Jr. spoke at the brief ceremony last week. “I’m here, to thank all of the volunteers who put in so much training and so much time,” he said. “All of our communities’ volunteer first responders put in a lifetime, and we need to find the next generation. Plumley shared the unique experience of the final day of courses, which was held in the fire station bay at Moriah. The fire whistle blared overhead and tones sounded from all pockets as they began to get settled, he said. The call was to Keene Valley for the struc-

ture fire at Valley Grocery, a shop Plumley said was part of the fabric of life since his youth. They all heard the call. “Kevin (Woodruff) pointed at me, and just said ‘go,’” the Keene fireman recalled. The major fire in Keene Valley that Sunday pulled mutual aid response from some seven area departments. For Keene’s Fire Chief Jody Whitney, the addition of 20 new officers benefits all companies who depend on each other for assistance. “They all work well together,” Whitney said. Teamwork, he said, is one valuable skill gained through fire response training. “It’s also about being able to help your neighbors. If you can help out your community, I urge you to do that.” Officer 1 certificates were presented to: Peter Barko, Ticonderoga; Matthew Cook, Ticonderoga; Dan Plumley, Keene; Timothy Clark Jr., Elizabethtown; Timothy Clark Sr., Elizabethtown; Mark Heller, Lewis; Terry Pulsifer Jr., Lewis; Peter Evens, Lewis; Robert Flynn, Lewis; Robin Lambert, Chilson; Jordan Greenough, Moriah; William Petro III, Moriah; William Petro Jr., Moriah; Brian Collupy, Moriah; Brian Stoddard, Mineville; Charlie Farnsworth, Mineville; Mark Villa, Saranac Lake and Jared Whitely of Schroon Lake. ■

Many of the 20 new Officer 1 graduates were able to attend a completion ceremony last week in Keene. Certified officers are part of seven different departments throughout Essex County.

» Murphy Cont. from pg. 1 “I did most of my treatments and had my surgeries in Boston,” she said. “You would see the people running the Charles River and training for the marathon, and I wanted to be a part of that.” Murphy said the goal, at first, was to run the marathon. Eventually, she was able to walk the course with her husband, Tommy, in 2015. “We walked the Jimmy Fund Walk for Dana Farber and did the full marathon,” she said. “It took 12 hours to complete and we decided it was a good idea to never do that ever again.” Shortly afterwards, Murphy dived into hand cycling, using her hands and arms to power a specialized cycle. “Things change, so I wanted to find a way to adapt,” she said. “I didn’t expect to like it as much as I have or to be this good. I just wanted something to get fit but it has become a passion for me.” Murphy started to excel and place in the top three of events. Boston was her third straight second-place finish, which included the Burlington Marathon last May, where she first hit the qualifying time for Boston. “It’s something runners wait years for,” Murphy said. “For me, it was all through a lottery system. In past years, there were 30 spots, but most were taken up by the Achilles Freedom Team, made up of wounded warriors and amputees. This year, they opened up to 60 spots.” Murphy went on with her training and participated in the New York City Marathon, coming

home to find the email of her dreams waiting. “I wondered if I was being punked,” she said. “It was such a goal for so long and to see that email saying I was in the Boston Marathon was pretty cool. It still feels like it has really happened yet.”

THE RACE

On the morning of April 16, Murphy was not thinking as much about all the miles she had biked and mountain she had climbed — literally and emotionally — to get to that moment. Instead, she was thinking about how cold it was. And windy. And the constant rain. “We were all soaked, so the only thought I had was to get through and finish.” After the start, it was not getting better. “By the time I hit mile three, my hands were numb,” Murphy said. “I couldn’t eat or drink because my hands just could not hold anything. I had to use my left hand to shift and brake on the right side because my fingers on my right hand were frozen up or something. It wasn’t good.” Then came the “give up or get up” moment, where Murphy said she decided she had made too much of a commitment to completing her goal and she was not going to fail. The weather continued to try and change her mind, though. “Every time we passed a check or a medical tent, I would always have the thought it was

Then came the final stretch and crossing the finish line in second place, completing two of her goals (she later said there was no way she was going to get her time goal with the weather). “It was a great moment,” she said. Murphy said racing in the marathon was also a personal experience owing to the bombing a half-decade earlier. “Boston has been a second home, so when it happened, it felt personal,” she said “It’s a safe city, a good city. It still feels surreal that it happened, and I don’t think we ever

had any safety concerns.”

NEXT UP

Now, Murphy gets back onto the bike and continued to log her miles, meals and other information in her training journal. After all, she has Vermont coming up, where her last two finished have been second place and first. “I’m at that point where my times are getting faster but the finishes lower because everyone else is getting faster with me,” Murphy joked. “I should also find out soon if I made it back into the New York City field. ■

Supervisors in favor of applied tech school By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | “This is the best news that I have heard in the 35 years of sitting on this board.” That was Moriah Supervisor’s Tom Scozzafava’s assessment of the presentation made by North Country Community College and Ti-Alliance at the Essex County Ways and Means Committee meeting on Monday. The presentation focused on the creation and running of an applied technical college program to be run out of Ticonderoga. With an estimated startup cost of $5,000,000, TiAlliance has pledged to be able to pick up a majority of the tab through private funding and state matches, with the school using about 20 percent of its fund balance to complete the process. “IP needs to fill 200 jobs in the next three years. The jobs are here in the area, the problem is we do not have people trained to fill these jobs,” said Scozzafava. “It’s absolutely a need and I support this 1,000 percent. It is a bright future for this county if we pursue this. I have prescribed to the theory that what is good for Ti is good for Moriah and what is good for Moriah is good for Ti.” The college has said the new programming would be a “tremendous benefit to the counties” and the offer of private financial support is a unique opportunity. “We really feel from the standpoint of employable occupations here, we can focus on the trades themselves,” said Donna Wotton of the Ti-Alliance. “We are trying to focus on things that are not being taught anywhere in our region. The BOCES program and the Vermont Vocational high schools offer us a funnel to what we want to accomplish in this school. These are students who would be directly interested in our program.” Wotton added the alliance had not talked to the owners of the Lowe’s property recently. “In the network of the Ti Alliance, we do have the ability to purchase a building. We have not at this time approached Lowe’s and we want to make sure we are ready to move forward before we go back to them,” she said. “If that building is not available to us, we do have a number of different options in Ticonderoga.” NCCC President Steven Tyrell said they had talked to local employers, like IP, to seed what they felt the need was.

North Country Community College President Steven Tyrell and Ti Alliance head Donna Wotton answer questions from Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava at the Essex County Board of Supervisors April 30 Ways and Means Committee meeting. Photo by Keith Lobdell “IP has indicated to us they want to have a program in facilities management program,” Tyrell said. “We want to shift our focus in enrollment to programs like this which will keep our numbers healthy and string.” North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi asked why the TiAlliance had not been in the picture over the past five years. “My feeling listening to the board is this is the exact direction they have wanted to see this college go over the last five years,” Politi said. “We have been raising this issue for at least five years and nothing has come of it. And now, all of the sudden, there seems to have been a change.” “We have also been in the wings for about three years now and we also have been trying to move this program along from in the wings,” Wotton said. “I think the heat you have shown in the last year has been what has brought us back into the picture.” Keene Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson wondered how NCCC would be able to handle trying to fill five campuses: two in Ticonderoga, Saranac Lake, Malone and Potsdam. “We are going to look at what our programs are doing at Malone, Ticonderoga and Saranac Lake. Whatever we have targeted for our enrollment we have beat each year. It will help the faculty look at what are we doing well to keep doing and what will we have to change,” said Tyrell. “The vocational needs in the North Country that have long been ignored and this is great news,” said North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore. The next step for the college will be, upon approval of faculty, the hiring of an independent researcher to explore the feasibility of the plan and determine how long it would take to get the program started. ■

Molinaro, seeking Cuomo’s job, steps out in North Country debut Dutchess County Exec visits dairy farms, small business By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WILLSBORO | Marc Molinaro effectively sewed up the Republican nomination for governor last week when the Westchester County Republican Chairman said his committee will endorse the Dutchess County Executive in his effort to unseat Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But Molinaro didn’t know it at the time because he was ankle-deep in mud on a trip to an Adirondack dairy farm with patchy cell service. “I can’t get the article to open,” said Molinaro, fiddling with his phone before tucking

into a beer at a local roadhouse. Molinaro, 42, was in Willsboro for his first gubernatorial swing to the North Country since he entered the race in early-April.

MUCKING STALLS

The state’s dairy industry is in a tailspin and Molinaro listened attentively as fourth-generation dairy farmer Lee Garvey explained the threat of low milk prices paired with rising costs. Milk prices are hovering at between $13 and $15 per hundredweight, he said, but he needs to garner at least $17 to break even. “Right now, I’m getting paid what my father got paid in the 1970s,” said Garvey, who sells milk to Cabot and Agri-Mark for cheesemaking. Molinaro told Garvey he grew up working on his stepfather’s farm in the Hudson Valley. “I mucked stalls for four years, which has prepared me well for politics,” he quipped.

“There’s a lot of boots in Albany, but they’re for different stuff.” The gubernatorial hopeful admitted it was more profitable for his stepfather to sell the property than it was to maintain it. And in a departure from a nationwide political tradition, Molinaro admitted he has never milked a cow. “I hate the phoniness of it,” he said. Albany lawmakers fail to understand upstate issues, he said. Perhaps a press junket like the one he held in Dutchess County to promote Hudson Valley Fresh might lead to increased awareness of the needs of food producers. “Maybe get all the Albany guys on a bus and show them where food comes from,” he said. But the state should first help dairy farmers by driving down costs. “There’s no business like farming. And then we go make it more difficult for you,” Molinaro told Garvey. “You have one guy

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Hatﬁelds and McCoys

Enough is enough. As a nation, we’ve tolerated this foolishness long enough. What was once goodBy Dan Alexander natured ribbing at the • PUBLISHER • annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington has turned rude, crude and even obscene as comedian Michelle Wolf went full-on attack mode in the most bizarre blistering attack that was anything but funny or good-natured. Both sides are to blame for the venom that was showcased last week in the nationally televised event attended by approximately 3,000 elite politicians, celebrities and reporters. The long-standing event’s purpose is to honor journalists for their achievements over the past year, but after the comedic keynote, not many felt honored — especially White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders who was invited as a special guest of the organization and was seated at the head table. Sadly she wasn’t alone. In the past roasts of this nature performed by stars like Don Rickles, Dean Martin or Jerry Lewis, the jokes were fair-handed and there was more love in the room than opposing sides could stomach in today’s environment. That’s where we’ve crossed a line. We can no longer just disagree or even poke fun without true hatred pouring out. There is no resolution to today’s disagreements. It’s all-out nuclear vocabulary warfare. And when name calling and insults that cut deep don’t hurt badly enough, sooner or later, it is going to turn violent like we’ve seen on far too many college campuses and even ordinary town hall meetings. The examples these professional adults are setting for our youth is simply despicable. The political machines created this evolving blood-sport mentality and it’s up to them to figure out a way to turn things around and soon. Ever wonder where bullies who have no sense of respect for anyone other than themselves come from? For people who act in this manner, there is no line that can’t be crossed, no words too vulgar nor no analogy too sacred... for no other purpose than to tear down our society and shred all common decency for nothing more than a moment in the spotlight. Spotlights and pedestals should be reserved for those who know how to act and take pride in themselves and those they serve. None of us can justify bad behavior and it’s time we demand better or be prepared for much more in our future. ■

From the Editorial Board

Bag ban a bad idea Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to ban single-use plastic bags and is calling on the state legislature to approve a bill before the session concludes next month. New Yorkers use 23 billion plastic bags annually, according to the governor’s office, which contributes to pollution of waterways, forests, landfills and neighborhoods statewide. The governor’s ban proposes to prohibit all single-use, plastic carryout bags at any point of sale in New York state effective Jan. 1, 2019. We disagree with this approach — and not because we’re pro-bag, but rather anti-ban: A blanket ban of anything typically results in unintended consequences. A better solution to combat plastic waste would be to simply issue a 5 cent per bag fee, a measure the state legislature blocked last year when proposed by the New York City Council. The Daily News pointed out the fee is a more effective way to reduce bag usage.

In Suffolk County, for instance, a nickel fee on all bags has resulted in a decline in more than half within just four months, the newspaper reported. But as the News also pointed out, a task force ordered by the governor reported bans backfired in San Jose, Chicago and Honolulu “as merchants just switched to using slightly heavier ‘reusable’ plastics or relied more on paper bags.” The proposal has already met resistance from Wegman’s, the upstate New York food giant who said a ban would “likely lead” to an increase in the use of paper, which also carries risks to the environment. For each tractor trailer used to transport plastic bags, it takes seven to haul the same number of paper bags, said the grocer, and it takes about 90 percent more resources and energy to make and recycle paper compared to plastic. The governor’s proposal does offer exemp-

tions — including those used for bulk products, deli meats and takeout food bags, among others — and the state Department of Environmental Conservation would also be allowed to exempt certain bags through regulations. But to us, that just amounts to more bureaucracy and paperwork on top of our already beleaguered small businesses. Yes, wanton waste must be addressed. But implement a fee on all bags — paper and plastic alike — before issuing a blanket ban. If it doesn’t work, let the voters decide through a proposition like they did in California. In the meantime, all of us should get into the habit of carrying reusable canvas or heavyplastic bags available at any point of sale in businesses throughout the state. But we don’t need another regulation — or worse yet, another edict a la the governor’s decision to restore voting rights to parolees — hoisted upon us without due process. ■ —The Sun Editorial Board

Tonko lashes embattled EPA chief; Stefanik not satisfied with responses EPA chief remains in spotlight for ethical lapses By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WASHINGTON, D.C. | Scott Pruitt, the embattled Environmental Protection Agency chief, was in the hot seat last week for a congressional grilling probing ethical lapses and a firehose of questions surrounding personal spending. During a pair of six-hour committee hearings, Pruitt largely blamed the scandals on staff, and said he was unaware of pay raises to aides. “I have nothing to hide as its relates to how I’ve run the agency for the past 16 months,” Pruitt told the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee. Rep. Paul Tonko (D-Amsterdam) was a chief critic, lashing proposed budget cuts, staff reductions and what he said was overall mismanagement and abuse at the agency that will ultimately weaken public health. “Under Administrator Pruitt, commonsense public health and environmental protections are being slated for elimination with no regard for scientific evidence and little justification beyond the wishes of regulated entities,” Tonko said in his opening remarks. Tonko, who represents the Albany area, also got Pruitt to acknowledge a shifting stance when it comes pay raises for staffers. Pruitt previously told Fox News that he hadn’t known about the raises until afterwards; that he did not know who authorized them and that they shouldn’t have been handed out, Politico reported. But under questioning from Tonko, Pruitt acknowledged that he had authorized his chief of staff to award pay bumps to staffers — but said he was unaware of their extent or they would circumvent the White House. “I was not aware of the amount,” Pruitt said. Tonko called for an investigation by the Office of the Inspector General, joining 11 ongoing federal inquiries.

Rep. Paul Tonko (D-Amsterdam) grilled EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt (pictured) in a congressional hearing last week. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) does not sit on the committee, but said the embattled chief should resign. Screenshot provided Other lawmakers have called for his resignation, including Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro). Stefanik does not sit on either committee that grilled Pruitt, but said she was not satisfied with his responses and renewed calls for his resignation. “Congresswoman Stefanik does not believe Administrator Pruitt answered her concerns about the recent ethical lapses at the EPA under his watch, and she continues to call for new leadership at this agency,” said Tom Flanagin, a spokesman. Stefanik initially called for Pruitt to quit at a pair of town hall forums last month, but stopped short of signing onto a Democratic-led resolution calling for his ouster. The sophomore lawmaker is working with GOP colleagues on a letter to President Donald Trump urging him to request Pruitt’s resignation, Flanagin said, and is asking more Republicans to publicly join the resignation calls. ■

Consider this simple ﬁx to Elizabethtown intersection issue

To the Editor, The simple solution [to the Elizabethtown intersection visibility issue] would be to cut 10 feet of dirt off the lower corner of the wall. That would give drivers a clear view right to the top of the hill, making it a much safer intersection — all without making unnecessary, expensive and dangerous changes to traffic control.

Planned detour endangers wildlife, local residents and travelers By Dr. Jack Carney GUEST COLUMNIST

By the time you read this, the state Department of Transportation will have closed a fourmile stretch of Route 30 at its midpoint between Long Lake and Tupper Lake. On April 25, DOT contractors will have begun digging a 200 foot-long by 40 feet-deep ditch across the two lanes of 30N to get to and repair the damaged culvert that runs beneath. All north- and south-bound traffic will be re-routed through Sebattis Circle Drive, which runs parallel to Route 30 for six miles, for at least four weeks per the DOT’s optimistic estimate. Or perhaps six weeks or more by those of us more skeptical. This includes tractor trailers, for which the six-ton limit has been lifted, however prematurely. Most Long and Tupper Lakers and other travelers first learned of this when they encountered digital highway signs placed short distances before Sebattis Circle’s north and south access/ egress points reading “Highway closed April 25 7 A.M.” The signs were displayed on April 18 with no explanation offered for the length of the project. When I returned to Long Lake from a trip to Tupper that day, after a stop to talk to the construction crews readying their equipment and after doing a loop of Sebattis Circle to see what awaited us on April 25, most folks I encountered had no idea the project would last four or six or more weeks, nor were they aware of the Sebattis Circle detour. Everyone I spoke to expressed dismay when I shared what I had

learned from the construction supervisor: they knew Sebattis Circle Drive and feared for the safety of family members and friends who would be obliged to share the narrow, curve-filled road with two-way traffic, large 18-wheelers and unwary wildlife, including deer and moose. My wife travels three times a week between Long Lake and Tupper where she serves as the lone psychiatric nurse at the Tupper Lake clinic. Other Long Lakers told me similar stories – of a daughter who teaches in Saranac Lake; a friend who is a vet tech near Ray Brook; a wife who works in the Wild Center; of regular medical appointments in Tupper and Saranac. I fear for my wife’s safety. My neighbors fear for their loved ones, as do I. And so the questions. Why weren’t we informed in a timely manner that this was to happen? Why was there no public hearing? No opportunity to discuss options, contingencies? No fi nancial impact survey, since local merchants who provide lodging and sustenance to travelers and wildlife tourists will suffer lost revenues? No environmental impact survey – the Northern New York Audubon has advised DOT that the project will adversely impact the nesting season of the myriad birds who ﬂock to the Sebattis wetlands in the spring. Why the lifting of the six-ton vehicle limit now, when the frost underlying the blacktop will begin to melt? Does DOT really think that the steady ﬂow of traffic along Route 30 can be safely diverted to a narrow, melting county road?

I’ve written letters to Acting DOT Commissioner Peter Karas and to Nicholas Choubah, regional DOT director, who are responsible for the development and implementation of this plan. I questioned the speed of their implementation; the exclusion of the area’s stakeholders, two-and four-legged, in the planning. I predicted a possible public safety disaster and I advised them that it would be they who would be held accountable should the worst – injury and death to any of the road’s greatly expanded traveler cohort – actually happen. I closed the letters, as I end here, disclaiming any expectations that my letters and those from other interested individuals and organizations would cause DOT to halt the project until the information outlined above is gathered. The project appears to have gained unstoppable momentum. I did, however, request a meeting with them and local stakeholders to review what had occurred to ensure it did not happen again. Copies of those letters have been forwarded to the other state agencies responsible for the oversight of the Adirondack Park and what takes place here -- the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency; and to our state, county and town elected officials. All a part of the hue and cry that needs to be raised to make the point that those of us who live here, earn our livings here, refuse to be taken for granted and ignored; must be listened to and our comments seriously considered. In sum, our lived experiences surely outweigh bureaucratic expedience. — Dr. Jack Carney is a member of the Long Lake Alliance. ■

Tobacco age law headed to public hearing Set for May 29 at courthouse By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The debate over raising the legal age for purchasing tobacco products in Essex County will head to a public hearing at the end of this month.

Members of the Essex County Ways and Means Committee voted April 30 to bring the Local Law off the table and move it for a public hearing for Tuesday, May 29, at 11 a.m. at the old Essex County Courthouse. The local law, which would raise the legal age of purchasing tobacco in Essex County from 18 to 21 was tabled last month based on concerns from members of the board. Public Health Director Linda Beers hosted an information luncheon for members of the board to answer questions and concerns

in mid-April. “All I want to do is take this from the table and move forward with a public hearing,” said Ticonderoga Supervisor Joe Giordano, who presented the motion to the board. After some discussion, the motion came to a vote, which was passed with Elizabethtown’s Noel Merrihew, North Hudson’s Ron Moore and Willsboro’s Shaun Gillilland opposing. Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow was absent. ■

File photo » Bridges Cont. from pg. 1 two structures spanning Route 9 at Exit 30 in North Hudson, and two crossing Route 9N at Exit 31 in Westport, where equipment began moving into place last Thursday. Structures will also be replaced in Wilton in Saratoga County and in Lake George. Work by the state Department of Transportation (DOT) includes the replacement of bridge joints, approach slabs and bearings, as well as repair of concrete and steel. Concrete wearing surfaces on structures in North Hudson and Westport will be replaced with polyester polymer concrete, “a type of driving surface that is expected to better withstand winter weather conditions,” according to the DOT. Northway traffic over the North Hudson and Westport units will be reduced to a single lane with a reduction in speed to 50 mph, and lane closures will shift during construction season. Work elsewhere is expected to begin next year, with all projects scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019. ■

» Molinaro Cont. from pg. 5 The state has scant services for dairy farmers, said Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland, except to promote suicide hotlines. “There’s not many real viable dairies left in Essex County,” said Gillilland, who has endorsed Molinaro and hosted the trip. Gillilland, who is a cattle farmer, cycled through what he said was an unfavorable business climate for farmers, including increased costs and regulations and a steadily-escalating minimum wage. “It’s just so prohibitive,” he said. “It’s going to kill us, independent and commercial farms.”

‘TOO MUCH WORK’

At Champlain Valley Milling, owners Sam and Derinda Sherman said the Empire State presents for-

midable hurdles for small businesses. Despite their homegrown success story — the organic flour producer recently expanded — Derinda characterized the state’s business climate as “unfriendly,” citing increased regulations paired with mandates like Paid Family Leave Act, which she said places rural businesses in a holding pattern. “If this was a start-up business, we could not have made it,” said Derinda. Molinaro said, “I just think people impacted should be brought in before we make these decisions. The problem with Albany is it’s a one-size-fits-all.” Again and again, the candidate kept circling back to his campaign themes: New York has one of the highest property tax burdens in the nation, he said, and state government should be streamlined and modernized to reduce costs for state taxpayers.

Saranac Lake Central School Budget Proposal

Total appropriations: $31,750,000, up 4.10 percent. Tax rate per $1,000: Harrietstown, Franklin, Santa Clara, North Elba, St. Armand, Black Brook - $9.94, decreased 1.44 percent; Brighton - $11.39, decreased 1.45 percent. Tax levy: $20,616,789, a decrease of 1.44 percent. Meets cap? Yes. Fund balance usage: $750,000, approximately 20 percent. School board elections: Three open seats, all three-year terms: Richard Retrosi, Nancy Bernstein, Aurora E. White. Public Hearing: May 2, at 5 p.m. in Petrova Library. Vote: Tuesday, May 15, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Saranac Lake High School. Ballot propositions: #1: Authorizing Board of Education to levy $234,685 for the Saranac Lake Free Library. #2 Authorizing Board of Education to purchase four 65-passenger buses and one van at a sum not to exceed $465,000. Public Hearing: Wednesday, May 2, at 5 p.m., Petrova School Library ■

Doing so, he said, will create a more favorable business climate and stem the exodus of residents and businesses from the state. Since entering the race, Molinaro has proffered a sunny brand of selfreliance — he often touts he grew up on food stamps — but also has proven to have sharp elbows. “This governor has avoided this because it’s too much work,” Molinaro said of streamlining government. “It’s not sexy. You don’t get to stand in front of a camera and announce that you’ve streamlined a regulatory process which reduces cost.” A campaign spokesman for Cuomo did not respond for comment for this report. ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

Little, faculty member honored at NCCC Support, chancellor’s awards given out By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

SARANAC LAKE | A state senator and career teacher were honored during North Country Community College’s Community Leader’s Day last week. Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) and faculty member Larry McFaddin were each honored during the event, held as part of the institution’s 50th anniversary celebration. Little received the College Recognition of Support award for her efforts in $1.1 million in grant funding to upgrade the school’s science labs and athletic fields. “This is the largest singular capital investment in the Saranac Lake campus in a very long time,” said NCCC President Steven Tyrell. “What you have secured for the college will make a real difference for those teaching, learning and living at the Saranac Lake campus for year to come.” Little said keeping the college in the forefront is fundamental for its success. “I felt the funds were needed to help this campus and it’s my job to help the community, which I enjoy doing in any way that I can,” Little said. McFadden was awarded the SUNY Chancellor’s Award

for Faculty Service, recognizing the contributions of faculty both inside and outside the classroom. “Larry truly loves and cares for this institution,” Tyrell said. “His long term dedication, ongoing enthusiasm and clear understanding of students and faculty, as well as college administrative needs, make him an unequaled candidate for this award.”

“I don’t even know what to say,” commented McFaddin. “I think this shows how much we at this school truly care about these students. I have been a coach all my life and no matter what, it is always about teamwork and those you work with, and we have always had great teamwork with everyone here.” ■

who is available to adopt for free during our current promotion. When Tuxie arrived at the shelter with her friend Moo Moo, she was very pregnant; her life has revolved around her kittens since then until she recently completed her motherly duties. She is now ready for some quality “me” time — she is really hoping to find a home in time to enjoy a sunny windowsill seat before the summer heat begins. Tuxie is about 2 years old and has a loving, friendly, and easygoing personality. She has lived with other cats and would adjust with ease to almost any home. Do you have a spot in your heart for this sweet little lady? Why not stop by and meet her today?

» Merger report Cont. from pg. 1 Or improvements could be made to prepare buildings for reuse, a step that is allowed with centralization funds. State aid monies at 90 percent funding could also be used solely to build a shared bus garage if the districts merge. Another recommendation says a new school board for a merged district “should develop a financial plan to ensure long-term fiscal stability.” Both school budgets this year face increased costs for health insurance. WCS is looking to exceed the tax levy cap recommendation, while ELCS is looking at some 23 percent increase in health insurance costs. Both districts suggest health insurance costs will go up by 8 percent over the next five years, even as state aid resources dwindle. Consultants showed in their research how tax rates might stabilize and potentially decrease in a merged district, using incentive aid as for leverage moving forward.

Central and Elizabethtown-Lewis Central schools’ Merger Committee members received a Final Report from research consultants at their final meeting last week. The report must next be approved by the State Education Department. Photo by Kim Dedam

Specifics for use of the current school buildings or for application of state aid would not be spelled out before any merger vote. Tax rates and elective course additions would not be defined before a vote. Details of a merged school budget, teacher salary equalization and bus routes would also not

be finalized ahead of a merger vote. As Silky explained, the vote only seeks to find whether individual communities wish to “to work together as one” and rebuild a new school district. “You have to decide if you want the communities to work together in this,” Silky said. ■
