Hochul touts Adirondack tourism in North Creek Officials trumpet uptick in tourism, but no mention of overuse

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

NORTH CREEK | Tourism statewide is booming.

The state welcomed 243.8 million visitors in 2017, nearly 5 million more than the previous year, generating a total economic impact of $108.7 billion — up $22 billion since 2011, according to the governor’s office.

Direct spending clocked in at $67.6 billion, nearly $3 billion more than 2016, and almost $14 billion more than in 2011 when Gov. Andrew Cuomo took office.

Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul delivered the cheery news at the Adirondack Challenge in North Creek on Sunday, the annual weekend event designed to promote

Homeward Bound Adirondacks seeks funds for retreat space Fundraiser for vets organization slated for Aug. 11

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | For Phil Jackson, the

message of Homeward Bound Adirondacks is simple: Veterans helping veterans.

“We deal with people who have a terribly hard time being reintegrated into society,” said Jackson, a volunteer with the non-profit. “Men who have been to war, they don’t totally heal, I think. They just cope.”

Jackson, who lives in Elizabethtown, knows the struggles all-too-well, having served on a nuclear submarine during the Vietnam War.

Commission has booted Charter from the state two years after the state agency approved their merger with Time Warner.

The commission said Charter has failed to meet the terms and conditions set by the $55 billion merger deal — including agreement to provide broadband service to 145,000 rural locations in the state within four years — and has rescinded its approval.

The PSC has given the provider, which does business as Spectrum in New York, 60 days to write a transition plan for a successor to take over broadband and cable services. » Charter Cont. on pg. 2

» Charter Cont. from pg. 1 “Charter’s non-compliance and brazenly disrespectful behavior toward New York state and its customers necessitates the actions taken today seeking court-ordered penalties for its failures, and revoking the Charter merger approval,” said PSC Chairman John Rhodes in a statement. “Charter’s repeated failures to serve New Yorkers and honor its commitments are well documented and are only getting worse.”

Charter spokesman Andrew Russell said the decision was politicized.

“In the weeks leading up to an election, rhetoric often becomes politically charged,” Russell said in a statement.

Charter contends they had met the guidelines.

“The fact is that Spectrum has extended the reach of our advanced broadband network to more than 86,000 New York homes and businesses since our merger agreement with the PSC,” Russell said. “Our 11,000 diverse and locally based workers, who serve millions of customers in the state every day, remain focused on delivering faster and better broadband to more New Yorkers, as we promised.”

But the two parties disagree on which locations should count as unserved: The PSC believes 18,000 of those locations are New York City-area locations that shouldn’t have been included.

Addresses in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Schenectady, Albany and Mt. Vernon were also flagged.

Russell declined to discuss the provider’s next steps.

The PSC fined Spectrum $2 million in June for failing the latest state-mandated deadline to wire 58,417 new addresses by more than 40 percent.

John Brown Farm will host breakfast and story hours

LAKE PLACID | John Brown Farm will host a breakfast picnic story hour, a new feature at the historic home of abolitionists John and Mary Brown, Saturday Aug. 4 and Aug. 11 at 9 a.m. with mini muffins and juice for the kids and bagels and coffee for the adults.

Upcoming story hours are: Aug. 4: A celebration of Frederick Dou-

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

The commission tacked on a $1 million fine, bringing the total amount to $3 million, and directed its counsel to bring an enforcement action in State Supreme Court to seek additional penalties for Charter’s “past failures and on-going non-compliance.”

PSC ordered the transition should be orderly and must ensure no interruption in service to customers.

Failure will do so will result in “injunctive relief in (state) Supreme Court in order to protect New York consumers.”

Charter has previously attributed construction delays to utility pole owners, which must make room on their poles to accommodate new equipment.

The commission dismissed those claims and said the their general counsel has referred a false advertising claim to the state Attorney General’s office for enforcement.

Charter currently has approximately 2.5 million subscribers across New York state in more than 1,150 communities.

BROADBAND PROGRAM

The decision to evict Charter comes when the state has committed $500 million to its universal broadband initiative to provide service to every home and business in the state.

As part of the plan, Charter had been tapped to provide broadband coverage to a specified number of homes across the Adirondacks.

But Charter and the state Broadband Program Office has not made those locations public, citing their proprietary nature.

“Make no mistake,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo in June, “Charter has not only violated its franchise agreement, it is deceiving the public.” ■ — Kim Dedam contributed reporting

LOCAL REACTIONS

The Essex County Board of Supervisors passed a symbolic resolution in support of booting Charter on Monday.

“They haven’t met any of the milestones,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. “They had set milestones to increase service to rural areas in Moriah,” he said, pointing specifically to hamlet sections like Cheever and residential areas along Routes 9N/22.

“Yet they have had constant cost increases to customers with no increase in service.”

Since 2014, the former Time-Warner contract with Moriah has sat idle and unsigned, Scozzafava said.

“Their representation to the consumer is horrible,” he said. “And they are a monopoly.”

Westport Supervisor Michael “Ike” Tyler seconded the resolution, which passed unanimously by voice vote.

Tyler told The Sun Westport still has no contract in place for cable service.

Their contract with the former Charter side of the new company ended last November, Tyler said, and the town offices have had no service.

“They don’t care,” Tyler said of Spectrum’s lack of response to their repeated requests to provide cable.

Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston, from Wilmington, said Spectrum has not provided services the way they should to rural parts of Essex County.

“Things are not happening the way they should, the way we were told they would,” Preston said. ■

The Elizabethtown Social Center’s founder, Cora Putnam Hale, recognized value in the arts and desired the center to offer our comBy Arin Burdo munity opportunities • COLUMNIST • to appreciate the arts.

Arts are just as important to our community today as when the door opened in 1939.

In keeping with Mrs. Hale’s legacy, we are very pleased to have offered, with lots of community support, our lawn performances this summer.

Thank you to the Elizabethtown Town Council and Supervisor Noel Merrihew for supporting outdoor summer concerts for Elizabethtown.

Supporting and enjoying local artists is important for our community as is the opportunity to enjoy live music of all genres for all ages.

Many thanks to the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts for helping fund the artists who performed “On the Center Lawn” via the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York state Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York state Legislature.

Their support provided a wonder-

ful opportunity to hear artists from near and far.

We are also grateful to the Essex County Arts Council for assisting “On the Center Lawn” with a Cultural Assistance Program (CAP) Grant and to the Essex County Board of Supervisors for supporting them.

The support of our local arts council is beyond financial; their love for and promotion of the arts is crucial in our small communities where access is limited for so many.

Thank you to Papa Duke’s BBQ and the Reber Valley Snack Shack for bringing their food trucks on several evenings. Eating dinner while listening to live music outdoors in the summertime is something wonderful to look forward to every long winter we endure.

Finally, the center would like to thank all who attended and supported “On the Center Lawn.”

We hope everyone enjoyed the performances. We are excited to begin working on next summer’s program.

» Homeward Bound Cont. from pg. 1 The Saranac Lake-based organization provides free services for veterans and their families, including transportation to medical and mental health appointments, crisis outreach and wildness healing retreats.

Homebound Bound Adirondacks will host a fundraiser at the Elizabethtown Fish & Game Club on Aug. 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The local chapter served 400 veterans last year, including those as far away as Brooklyn and Connecticut.

“It seems they oftentimes get a sense of peacefulness from being in the Adirondack Park,” Jackson said.

A key goal for the organization is to find a place of their own to host retreats.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

While Camp Dudley in Westport and Camp Overlook in Owls Head in Franklin County have been generous in providing space, opportunities are limited during the summertime rush.

“We’re raising money and looking for a place of our own where we can conduct year-round retreats,” said Valerie Ainsworth, the organization’s executive director. “All of the money we raise goes directly to the services we provide.”

Jackson has been volunteering for two years and recounted numerous experiences aiding veterans struggling with numerous maladies, including traumatic brain injuries and emotional wounds caused by sexual harassment in the U.S. Air Force.

Others grapple with substance abuse problems.

Jackson said he was particularly seared by emotionallycharged small group meetings between troubled spouses.

“It became so painful, I had to leave the meetings,” he said.

While young, Homeward Bound has racked up some success stories.

Jackson recounted a veteran blinded in Iraq who underwent equine therapy.

A horse followed him as he walked around a pasture.

“There seems to be a real sense of intimacy with people who need caring and horses,” he said.

Jackson continued: “I have great memories and I have very hard memories for me to deal with, but this has become my mission in life.”

Events at the fundraiser include live music and an auction, including items and donations provided by local merchants.

With departure of president in the wings, NCCC budget meets approval Essex County poised to approve budget

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The $13,349,405 North Country Community College budget was approved Monday by the Essex County Ways and Means Committee.

The 2018-19 spending plan reflects a 0.6 percent increase in core program costs.

It was built with a 4 percent increase in tuition for both in-state and out-of-state students, adding $188 per year for in-state tuition and $443 per year for out-of-state tuition.

With further discussion, it is expected to clear the full board on Aug. 6.

No public comments were submitted at a public hearing held before the meeting.

NCCC’s 2018-19 budget will draw $1,240,00 from Essex County coffers plus $50,000 for capital project costs.

PRESIDENT OUTGOING

Budget approval comes a few days after NCCC President Dr. Steve Tyrell announced his plan to leave the college in June 2019.

“Given the work we have done together that led to strengthening the college on a

number of fronts, I feel this is the right time for me to explore my next professional interest,” Tyrell said in a memo to staff last week.

Tyrell faced an often-rocky tenure, having survived votes of no confidence by the faculty union in 2015 and 2016 and the Essex County Board of Supervisors earlier this year.

But he also said enrollment was up since he arrived in 2012, and he’s leaving with a “one of the best fund balances in the region in relation to overall budget within the state twoyear college system.”

“With the positive momentum that we have collectively achieved in the last few years, making the announcement now affords the Board of Trustees and the college community a full year to conduct a successful search and hire a new president who can continue to help move our current strategic plan forward,” Tyrell said.

The program is being developed in cooperation with International Paper and follows years of urging by lawmakers to open a trade school, a measure they believe will help attract local students who might seek opportunities elsewhere.

“Dr. Tyrell did pursue that and I think it will be a success,” Scozzafava said.

A viability study on the project will begin this month and conclude this fall, according to the college.

Scozzafava commended Tyrell and college finance officers for not seeking for any increase from county sponsors in four years.

“He replenished the fund balance, he has done the job well,” Scozzafava said.

Other supervisors continue to be wary of a budget balanced on programs not designed for local students.

Lawmakers said they hope NCCC continues to work with local businesses to expand core programs for area high school graduates, including vocational training.

The proposed School of Applied Technology at the Ticonderoga campus is a start, said Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava.

Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland doesn’t see the current budget as a turnaround from past deficit years.

“There are issues with the budget. A majority of our board (Essex County supervisors) believes there could be more stability in core programs,” he said.

Revenue pushing NCCC’s 2018-19 budget

“

He replenished the fund balance, he has done the job well.”

SUPERS REACT

QUESTIONS REMAIN

into the black comes primarily from Second Chance Pell grants, funding that supports college education for inmates in correctional facilities around the area.

Bridge program courses taught at area high schools are not properly regulated by NCCC, Gillilland says, and, while cost-effective for students, bridge courses are not improving full-time student enrollment from Essex County high schools.

The recent agreement NCCC made via Path to Potsdam as a step toward a bachelor’s degree at SUNY Potsdam targets students “from outside North Country’s existing service area ... so as to not impact the college’s enrollment on its current Malone, Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga campuses,” according to the program launch last year.

“That is not a core mission program,” Gillilland said.

A future president at NCCC, Gillilland said, would best seek more interaction with businesses in Essex County and build its core curriculum to suit.

“Restaurant and hospitality management are areas not addressed by programs at (NCCC),” he said.

“Elder care is another area of need.” ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

State IG: Ex-ORDA official used stateissued credit card for years for bar tabs Padraig Power charged with felony

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

LAKE PLACID | The former finance director at the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) has been arrested after he allegedly used his state-issued credit card to run up alcohol tabs at local bars and restaurants.

Padraig Power, 34, of Lake Placid, was arrested and charged Thursday with third degree grand larceny, a felony, and official misconduct, a misdemeanor.

Power was arraigned in the Village of Lake Placid Court last week and released pending reappearance on Aug. 16.

Lundin told The Sun. Lundin said ORDA will “work with and cooperate fully with the inspector general’s office.”

“This former top ORDA official’s wanton disregard of the public trust and even the most basic guidelines were nothing short of unabashed hubris,” said state Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott in a statement. “For years, this defendant allegedly used taxpayer funds to subsidize exorbitant bar tabs and other improper personal expenses, undermining his own role as an internal control officer and undermining what should have been a commitment to integrity and public service.”

She continued: “I will continue using all the resources at my disposal and work closely with my law enforcement partners to pursue anyone who violates the public trust.”

Power left the state agency last year, but officials were tight-lipped as to the specific reasons,

Power “routinely and repeatedly” used his state-issued credit card from March 2013 through March 2017 for more than $6,300 in personal purchases, “the majority of which were comprised of alcoholic beverages purchased at restaurants and bars,” according to the state Inspector General’s Office.

The state forbids using government-issued cards for personal benefit, specifically exempting the purchase of alcoholic beverages as a reimbursable expense.

“ORDA also has a policy prohibiting employees from consuming alcoholic beverages during the performance of their official duties,” according to a news release.

Jon Lundin, a spokesman for ORDA, said internal audits revealed some discrepancies.

“ORDA conducted its own internal audits and we found some irregularities and we referred those to the inspector general’s office,”

reported the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.

The newspaper quoted ORDA CEO Mike Pratt as saying the state agency was trying to revise its credit card policy.

“It hasn’t been updated in many, many years,” Pratt said.

Lundin referred all personnel-related questions to the state inspector general, but confirmed Power is no longer employed by ORDA, which oversees the state’s Olympic infrastructure.

The Essex County District Attorney’s Office partnered in the investigation.

“This ORDA official’s alleged conduct seemed to derive from a mindset where everybody else’s rules simply did not apply to him,” said Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague in a statement. “ORDA is an important state agency meant to oversee Olympic and winter sporting assets that are critical to Essex County.” ■

Just another hurdle to clear The Sun Editorial Challenges are part of daily living in both one’s personal life and that of every business.

By Dan Alexander You’ve no doubt • PUBLISHER • heard about the tariffs being placed on newsprint coming out of Canada.

The Sun has run stories and editorials on the subject in the recent past. So has nearly every newspaper and periodical that prints on a groundwood sheet.

We would prefer the trade battle didn’t exist, and paper cost hadn’t increased over 30 percent since last October, but that’s not how things played out.

Last week we learned tariffs would also be charged on the aluminum plates we also use in the production of The Sun. But like in life, we can’t always control the curve balls that get thrown at us and crying about it won’t change anything.

As a business, we are frequently forced to adjust to increasing costs beyond our control.

An example would be when New York state raised the minimum wage for the second year in a row. It puts us at a labor disadvantage with neighboring states and affects far more employees than a few entry-level staffers.

Government, competitors, equipment failure, or even unannounced power outages that wreak havoc on delicate computer equipment.

They’re all hurdles that are sometimes difficult to deal with, but dealing with them is what we do.

What we won’t do is roll over and give up. Nor will we use this as an excuse to cut services, nor personnel.

We’ll fight back and ask for a level playing field, but we will continue moving forward, tariffs in place or not.

When we prepared our budgets last fall, we could not have predicted how these tariffs would have affected our material costs, but then we’ve had many surprises this year both good and some not so good.

Again, that’s the nature of life and the gamble we take as a local private business.

We’ll have to work a little harder, go without some things, find a way to cut some costs and perhaps pass along some modest adjustments to our customers as would any business facing an unavoidable increase in raw goods, but it will not threaten The Sun’s very existence.

As with every setback, we’ll find a way to stay on course until these tariff storm clouds pass.

Until then, it is your support that keeps us pressing ever forward, and for that, we are thankful. ■

Reviewing facts on merger study

In the wake of changing demographics and tightening budgets, we commended the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central (ELCS) and Westport Central (WCS) boards of education last year for making the difficult decision to jointly authorize a formal merger study.

Decision time is now near.

A joint Merger Advisory Committee has spent the past year meeting to discuss if it makes sense if the two neighboring school districts in Essex County should merge or remain independent.

The subsequent merger study by the Syracuse-based consulting firm Castallo & Silky was released in May. The consultants were not tasked with making a formal recommendation to merge or not, but were rather asked by each board to examine if a merger would be worth pursuing and offering a starting point for discussion.

Among the report’s key findings: • ELCS and WCS have similar operating expenses per student, capital debt, property wealth per student, tax levy and graduation rates; • Enrollment in both districts has been dropping, and each has made “significant reductions” in program offerings since 2010; • A merged district would be able to offer all current courses in each district and have efficiencies to offer more courses or to reduce staff; • Administrative costs in a merged district could be reduced by approximately $220,400; • Net staffing savings that would accrue to a merged district would be approximately $255,832;

‘Stand your ground’ should be a last resort

To the Editor: In reference to the recent incident where a man was shot in a Florida parking lot, the media has once again thrown the wrong slant on “Stand Your Ground” law, trying to persuade the court of public opinion that it is a bad thing.

It’s not a matter of the law being good or bad. It’s a matter of people not considering the consequences of their actions.

All three adults involved were at fault in this incident.

First, the woman broke the law by parking in a handicapped spot. Second, the man who challenged her broke the law by harassing her. Third, her husband, in coming to her “defense,” broke the law by physically attacking the other man and continuing his attack after the man was down.

Had the woman parked legally, her husband would still be alive.

• “Leveling up” teacher salaries would cost approximately $185,131; • A potential merged district would receive $6,249,465 in state incentive operating aid over 14 years, or $657,838 for each of the first five years; • Each district requires $1 million of repairs to their infrastructure, including bus garages and athletic facilities; • The cost of building a new school at a location between the two current locations would be approximately $50 million; • The state would cover 90 percent of capital construction costs within 10 years; • Using only 1 percent of the incentive operating aid and the other savings noted in the report, the true value tax rate for a potential merged district in the first year is estimated to be $13.31 per $1,000, resulting in no increase for ELCS and a reduction of $1.31 per $1,000 at WCS. These are the facts, which now must occupy center stage as each district moves forward with this once-in-a-lifetime decision.

And the districts really have entered uncharted waters.

Despite the budget challenges facing school districts statewide, mergers are rare.

Since 2003, there have only been four mergers statewide, according to the New York State School Boards Association, none of them in the North Country.

Each board now has until Sept. 7 to host public information and discussion sessions.

School boards will then vote in Septem-

Had the other man minded his own business, her husband would still be alive. Had her husband refrained from attacking the other man, he would still be alive.

“Stand Your Ground” is not a bad thing. Anyone caught in such a desperate situation, that kill-or-bekilled is the only apparent option, would want “Stand Your Ground” working in his/her favor. But it should not be considered as incentive to “provoke others to wrath.”

We all need to apply a little more humility and a little less arrogance to the decisions we make in life and rely on “Stand Your Ground” only when we find ourselves in a life or death situation that we had no control over in the first place.

If either district declines to authorize the polls, the process is terminated.

Once authorized, residents of each district will then have a chance to vote in a “preliminary advisory referendum” on Oct. 9.

If the straw polls reveal a majority of voters in each community want to move forward with a formal vote to create a new unified school district, voters will head to the ballot box on Dec. 4 for a final public referendum.

That’s just four months away.

Discussion will inevitably heat up as we head closer to a vote.

The passion in each community is evident by the lawn signs that have sprouted to advocate both sides of the issue.

We acknowledge that school and community are intricately linked, and the decision to merge two neighboring school districts is among the most important decisions a community will ever make.

Agree or disagree, we hope stakeholders are armed with the facts moving forward — not emotionally-charged conjecture or hearsay.

The Sun looks forward to continuing to inform voters in the weeks ahead of the critical votes and playing a leading role in the discussion.

favor of a small, wealthy minority.

The problem for capitalism though, is democracy where the majority can vote for politicians who will favor the needs of the many.

Over the decades, we have used democracy as protection from exploitation by unfettered capitalism.

Social Security and unemployment benefits came into existence as a result of the massive income inequality that preceded the Great Depression. Medicare was established because senior citizens found it impossible to afford private health care insurance.

We all want less taxes, but we also want the services we favor: e.g. safe roads, public education, affordable child care or health insurance.

Unless, that is, you are extremely wealthy libertarians, like the multibillionaire Kochs and their ilk… in which case you can afford to buy any kind of private schooling, nannies or health care you want.

The Kochs couch their agenda in such appealing terms as “personal freedom” and “individual liberty,” but their true goals of eradicating Social Security, Medicare and public education are well documented, aided by an authoritarian president who mocks democratic norms of civility.

And now that a Republican-controlled Congress has been cowed, Koch donations continue to soften whatever resolve well-meaning conservatives might have once had.

November elections will determine whether this insidious assault on democracy is challenged or not. We’d better pay attention and do some fact-checking ourselves on votesmart.org, govtrack. us and fec.gov. Whether we vote or not in November…we will get the country we deserve.

Adirondack state Senate contest takes shape Little faces challenges from Democrats, Green Party

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) could face as many as three challengers this November as she defends her seat for a ninth term.

Emily Martz, Steve Ruzbacki and Mark Schneider submitted petitions to the state Board of Elections last month for the seat.

RUNNING ON RECORD

Little last faced a Democratic opponent in 2006.

“I have always felt a tremendous privilege to represent this district in the Senate,” Little told The Sun. “Being able to get some results and help people is just something I’ve always enjoyed doing.”

She said she’ll travel the district touting her record of advocacy and getting results.

“We’re going to run on my record, run a positive campaign and have some fun this fall,” Little told attendees at the Essex County GOP Pig Roast last month.

Little said she was proud of her work to help pass five constitutional amendments, as well as her record on the environment, economy, public education and efforts to combat Lyme disease and drug addiction.

She also touted rural broadband as a priority, as well as legislation she co-sponsored earlier this year to boost wireless service through small cell technology.

While included in the executive budget proposal, Little’s bill was met with opposition from cable companies and municipalities concerned about franchise agreements and failed to gain traction.

“I think we will be successful in that,” Little said of the prospects for passage next year.

But the lawmaker did carve out a victory when the state Senate passed her bill in June to alleviate mounting EMS issues by allowing localities to create special taxing districts for ambulance services.

Essex County has been granted the right to form an EMS district, a pilot project that has generated interest from nearby localities, Little said.

RELATIONSHIP WITH CUOMO

Since taking office in 2011, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has touted a strong working relationship with Senate Republicans.

But the dynamics of their relationship have changed as he attempts to beat back a Democratic primary challenge from Cynthia Nixon.

Following the dissolution of a caucus of

State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) is seeking a ninth term this year. Photo provided breakaway Senate Democrats earlier this year, Cuomo has shifted his ire to Senate Republicans, who control the chamber by just one vote.

Once a reliable ally, he’s now working to return the chamber to Democratic control while pushing lawmakers to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution and remove the procedure from the state’s criminal code.

“You are with us or against us,” Cuomo said in Brooklyn last month. “And either way has consequences.”

He’s also lashed the GOP conference for failing to bring a gun control measure to the floor for a vote in June, as well as the expiration of the law authorizing speed cameras in New York City school zones.

Little acknowledged she broke with Cuomo on guns and abortion expansion, but dismissed the governor’s escalating rhetoric.

“He’s been good to the North Country,” Little told The Sun last month. “I agree on many things and certainly commend him for efforts. He’s put more effort and money into the North Country then we’ve ever had — since I’ve been in the legislature.”

And on Sunday, she sung Cuomo’s praises at the Adirondack Challenge in North Creek, the annual field trip for state lawmakers designed to promote the Adirondacks.

“It is a wonderful program he put together,” Little said.

ROUND TWO

Emily Martz, a Democrat, entered the race just one week after a failed bid for New York’s 21st Congressional District, which she came in fourth place in a field of five.

“I learned through my congressional run just how much people value those represent-

It could not exist without the wonderful donations from the community. It is staffed by volunteers who sort these items on Monday and Thursday mornings and who work when the shop is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

We have an outside donation box to receive clothing and small items after hours.

Many times items are left outside the donation box and are then subject to the weather.

While most items are sale-able, we unfortunately receive many items that have outlived their usefulness and that no one would want. It is then up to the volunteers to dispose of them.

We are asking the community to please contact us when they have donations that don’t fit in or shouldn’t be left outside the box or have multiple items that would overwhelm our volunteers.

We will then arrange a time to receive your donations. You can contact the thrift shop at 518-585-2242 or the church office at 518-585-7995.

ing them,” Martz told The Sun. Martz collected 1,998 signatures in just nine days with the help of volunteers, including those from other congressional campaigns.

The candidate said Democrats are needed to counter recent developments at the federal level, including the U.S. Supreme Court’s Janus v. AFSCME decision, which prevents the compulsory collection of agency fees from employees in the public sector who decline to join a government union, and Justice Anthony Kennedy’s decision to retire from the U.S. Supreme Court.

“I realized that given everything that’s going to be coming out at the federal level, and things coming down the pike, we need to have a strong voice in Albany to protect worker rights, and make sure we have a voice for working people,” Martz told The Sun. Martz said many of the issues she promoted as a federal candidate are applicable, including women’s rights, public education and sustainable economic development.

“We need to make sure as economic prosperity increases, not a town, village or county is left behind,” said Martz, former deputy director for Adirondack North Country Association in Saranac Lake.

GREEN PARTY

Steve Ruzbacki, who garnered 12 percent of the vote in 2016 against Little as a Green Party candidate, is taking another crack at the seat.

Ruzbacki counts criminal justice reform, legalizing marijuana, affordable housing, student loan forgiveness, campaign finance reform and single-payer health care as key issues.

“The single-payer health care is bottled up in the state Senate but passed the Assembly,” Ruzbacki said.

He also supports a more progressive form of taxation.

“I think we need to tax the super-rich and remove them from power,” he said. “I’m running to give people the choice of a noncorporate candidate.”

Ruzbacki, who lives in Olmstedville, also wants a state bank modeled after the Bank of North Dakota, and called for the repeal of the SAFE Act. Schneider, a Plattsburgh-based attorney, is the Working Families Party candidate.

But party officials have said he’s a placeholder candidate.

Senate District 45 comprises all of Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Warren counties and parts of St. Lawrence and Washington counties. ■

» Adk challenge Cont. from pg. 1 According to a study by the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, an estimated 968,550 travelers visited the Adirondacks last year, generating about $240.4 million.

Hochul said the state was particularly focused on steering resources to the Adirondacks and ticked off a series of recent state investments, including funds to boost snowmaking operations at the state-owned Gore and Whiteface Mountain ski facilities and airport facilities in Plattsburgh.

More than 350 people attended the event, including state department heads and members of the state legislature, many of whom lavished praise on Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who took a pass this year, opting instead to stay in the New York City area, according to his public schedule.

“They’re the movers and shakers of the Adirondacks,” said state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury).

Activities included whitewater rafting, a guided three-mile hike through the newly-acquired Boreas Ponds and mountain biking through the Indian River tract of the Essex Chain Lakes.

The event, Little said, is also critical in familiarizing downstate lawmakers with Adirondack issues, a tutorial that has proven to be useful in budget negotiations, including securing funding for infrastructure and natural disaster recovery efforts.

“We want to make sure they’re given all resources in state government, and we have done that,” Hochul said.

OVERUSE ISSUES

But while officials trumpeted the success of the state’s tourism promotional efforts, no mention was given of overuse in the High Peaks, or the growing calls to boost the numbers of Forest Rangers who patrol an ever-growing expanse of state-owned land which now numbers some 5 million acres.

Keene Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson said he was supportive of the state’s efforts to boost tourism, noting the industry is the lifeblood of the High Peaks community and Essex County.

Getting people to come is the first step, he said, and managing resources must follow.

“In the big picture of how we manage use in the Adirondacks, I think that we’ve got to have the frontcountry and backcountry infrastructure,” Wilson said, “and a lot of that is human beings having boots on the ground and being out there educating people, managing behavior when necessary and protecting resources, which is a critical part of the whole system.”

Cuomo has implemented a 2 percent cap on state spending, which applies to agencies like the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

“While the amount of acreage they steward and the

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

amount of search and rescues have increased, rangers are trained to adapt to changing conditions, which they have effectively done to manage for these increases,” said a DEC spokesman. “DEC is committed to ensuring that ranger staffing remains at historically high levels.”

The spokesman continued: “In 2016 and 2017, we were able to hold the first back-to-back academies in decades, and positions from the recent ranger academies have been concentrated in the Adirondack region.”

DEC is also ensuring rangers are being outfitted with the “newest and best equipment available” and the state agency continues to keep an eye on the latest technology, said the spokesman.

Forces have also been augmented by assistant rangers alongside a growing coalition of stewards and volunteers, as well as law enforcement agencies during search and rescue missions.

As overuse reaches critical levels, DEC has strengthened education and outreach efforts in the High Peaks this season, as well as rolled out new policies to combat overuse, including redirecting visitors to alternative hikes and cracking down on parking problems alongside the state Route 73 corridor between Lake Placid and Keene.

“I think it’s pretty clear the time is on us now to start acting,” said DEC Region 5 Director Robert Stegemann at the Common Ground Alliance in Lake Placid last month. ■

Federal grants to boost Adirondack cell coverage, economic development projects ANCA to launch services for transitioning businesses

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

SARANAC LAKE | Improved cell phone coverage, new waste water treatment systems, job training programs and services to aid businesses as their aging owners transition out of the workforce are among the projects that will be funded through the latest round of Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) grants.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) announced the allocation of $1.46 million in funding for five projects across the North Country last Thursday.

“Infrastructure is critical to creating jobs and increasing economic opportunity, and I applaud the NBRC for their announcement,” Stefanik said in a statement.

WORKPLACE IN TRANSITION

The Adirondack North Country Association

(ANCA) received $248,364 to help bankroll a regional network of public, private and nonprofit partners across the region as part of the Adirondack North Country Center for Businesses in Transition, a $373,130 project.

The proposed new center “will provide the soft infrastructure to supply matchmaking, resources and services for transferring ownership” to help the local businesses currently owned by Baby Boomers who aim to retire over the next several years, according to the grant announcement.

Between 10,000 and 16,000 businesses are expected to shift ownership within the next 5 to 10 years as their aging owners transition out of the workforce, said Jacob Vennie-Vollrath, a regional advocacy coordinator with ANCA. Generally three scenarios tend to happen: Businesses can be sold to a private investor; transitioned within the family, or sold to employees who can develop a cooperative-type model.

The worst-case scenario is that the business is liquidated and communities are stuck with empty storefronts.

“We want to keep those businesses open, and the way that collaboration is going to

6 1s t A n n u a l

work is we will work one-on-one with these individual businesses,” said Vennie-Vollrath.

The center aims to reach over 4,800 businesses and retain approximately 1,440 jobs in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.

ANCA plans to hire 3 to 4 people who will provide “boots on the ground” in each communities by working with local business owners.

“This is unique for our region and developed specifically for our region,” said Vennie-Vollrath.

The grant will begin Oct. 1 and is a threeyear program.

On the legislative side, U.S. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York has introduced legislation that would benefit businesses transitioning to employee stock ownership plans in a visit to ANCA headquarters in Saranac Lake in May.

CELL COVERAGE

The Town of Inlet was awarded $352,000 to construct a communications tower to provide cell coverage to Raquette Lake, Eagle Bay and Big Moose.

Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber said while the lack of modern communications was once alluring to city residents seeking to escape the grind, it’s no longer a tenable concept.

“The reality is the need for cell service in the Adirondacks is becoming more and more notable,” Farber told The Sun. The lack of coverage puts businesses in the rural Hamilton County getaway at a competitive disadvantage, and entrepreneurs are reluctant to invest owing to an inability to “connect with their target audience, create a social media presence or build a following, and for the inability

to offer these services to guests and patrons,” said the news release announcing the grant.

Inlet is on the front lines of what Farber referred to as the “next big technology gap.”

The lack of coverage can also be a dealbreaker for visitors who rely on smartphones for work, or even for families whose children would revolt at being cut-off from modern technology during a family trip.

Old Forge, located about 10 miles southwest, has ample cell coverage, and retailers have been fielding an increasing number of complaints from visitors about the patchy and non-existent service, Farber said.

“The comments are getting more and more negative, and the economic impacts revolve around cell service,” he said.

And there’s also the public safety issue, including the ability to call 911.

With the grant funds announced, Inlet can now move forward in the permitting process with the property owner, with construction likely to begin next year.

“This is something we’re aggressive about,” Farber said. “We will work with the town to make sure we move forward on this project.”

The NBRC, which President Trump targeted for elimination in his budget proposal earlier this year, is designed to aid rural communities along the northern border.

Funding recipients last year included the Town of Plattsburgh, which received $500,000 for clean water infrastructure, and the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency, which received $500,000 for infrastructure upgrades and to establish a new business park near the Watertown International Airport. ■

Preserving the Trudeau legacy in Saranac Lake

Progress apace in project to restore Dr. E.L. Trudeau residence

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

SARANAC LAKE | Historic Saranac Lake’s (HSL) plan to purchase and restore the home and office of Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau is moving forward.

Built in 1894, the house replaced Dr. Trudeau’s first combined home/research laboratory, which was destroyed by fire on Dec. 4, 1893.

Tasked with curating significant collections related to tuberculosis research, cure history and Dr. E.L. Trudeau’s life’s work, HSL announced their decision to purchase his lifelong residence at 118 Main St. last April.

HSL Executive Director Amy Catania said closing for the property is expected by the end of December.

A recent visit from Dr. Trudeau’s great-grandchildren, Garry Trudeau, the well-known Doonesbury cartoonist, and his sister Jeanie Trudeau Fenn, helped provide historians with details about changes made to the building over time.

“Such information is helpful as we make plans for bringing the building back to the time period that Dr. E. L. Trudeau lived and worked there,” Catania said.

The building had most recently been in use as doctors’ offices, but Medical Associates closed their practice in 2017.

It had seen nearly a century practicing Drs. Trudeau.

After Dr. E.L. Trudeau, his son Dr. Francis B. Trudeau Sr. and then his son Dr. Francis B. “Frank” Trudeau Jr. (Garry Trudeau’s father) worked from the home/office. Dr. Frank Trudeau retired in 1985, according to a detailed history compiled to inform restoration by HSL founder and Trudeau biographer Mary B. Hotaling.

SENSE OF PLACE

The Trudeau home sits at a corner of Saranac Lake where the busy downtown settles onto residential streets.

It was built at the same time and next door to the historic Trudeau Laboratory, now the Saranac Laboratory Museum and headquarters for HSL.

Across Church Street from the Trudeau home is St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, where construction in large part was coordinated

by E.L. Trudeau.

Renovation of the historic house proposes to restore the first floor for public exhibits, meetings, adding a research area for those who wish to access HSL collections.

The second floor will be restored with offices to lease. But Dr. E.L. Trudeau’s bedroom there and his private cure porch will be conserved as public space.

Dr. E.L. Trudeau and his wife Charlotte photographed in front of their Main Street home sometime before 1915.

Photos / HSL, historic photo from Saranac Lake Free Library, Adirondack Research Center

The great grandchildren of Dr. E. L. Trudeau — Doonesbury cartoonist, Garry Trudeau, and his sister, Jeanie Trudeau Fenn — visited the Trudeau residence in June and shared their memories of the building when their father Frank Trudeau practiced medicine there. Recognizing the historic importance of the building and its importance in the revitalization of downtown Saranac Lake, the Trudeaus are proud supporters of Historic Saranac Lake’s restoration project.

HSL’s architect Harry Gordon has completed floor plans to help guide the renovation.

“We have also contracted with Northwoods Engineering for review of structural issues and with Ambient Environmental for environmental survey work,” Catania said.

Hotaling completed a 14-page report, “Trudeau Building History,” with a succinct chronology of how family quarters adjusted to life and times for almost 100 years.

The history research provides a detailed sense of Trudeaus’ place with collected images, floor plans with renovation overlays, and written and oral history from family, friends and neighbors.

Did You Know We Also Deliver Fuel -- - --- Oil?

Hotaling pulled from works of Dr. E.L. Trudeau’s colleague, Dr. Lawrason Brown, who recalled the home: “A fire on the hearth was always crackling, and the dark red walls, the thick carpet and rugs gave one the impression of good taste, comfort and simple luxury. The family life during the winter centered about this room and the adjoining dining room.”

Catania said the project has had initial review by the state Office of Historic Preservation.

“We are working closely with OPRHP to ensure the project meets the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for the treatment of historic properties.”

Gifts to help fund the project have reached nearly a quarter-million dollars, and HSL is pursuing a National Endowment for the Humanities Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant.

Community donations will be used to fulfill the match, Catania said.

“And HSL is preparing a Consolidated Funding Application for a New York state grant for project support and is applying for state funding as part of Saranac Lake’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative.”

Elizabethtown Library Summer Camp is busy

Library brings history alive in books, music, dance and art

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | A busy summer reading and activities camp at the Elizabethtown Library spent much of July looking back in time.

Library Director Angela Heroux created in

interactive program that provided insight into lives of early American settlers and Native Americans in the Champlain Region.

“This summer we have had about 50 children every session, and they’re all ages, which is really neat. They are very receptive to what we’re doing,” Heroux said.

The library coordinates its camp with the Elizabethtown Youth Commission program.

Children have made sacred hoops, also known as dream catchers, and learned about the music of early settlers here in programs with musician-storyteller Dave Ruch, whose performance with the spoons was also part history lesson.

Kids participating in summer camp at the Elizabethtown Library spent the past several weeks looking at history and life of Native Americans and early American settlers in the Champlain Valley. The kids here are watching Dave Ruch show them how to play the spoons. They also learned how to make dream catchers and a little about of First Nations dance heritage with the Native American Tribal College troupe. The large sacred hoop pictured one was handmade by a Mohawk educator.

From Buffalo, Ruch is a public scholar for the New York Council for the Humanities, who draws sounds from many eras on a variety of instruments, including the banjo, guitar, jaw harp, bones and spoons.

He also performed at the Hand House on E’town Day this year.

“Many other libraries have also invited him to perform,” Heroux said of the musical learning sessions.

Access to teachings about Native American tradition and lives came via a unique inter-library loan.

“The Akwesasne Cultural Center Museum and the Akwesasne Library let us borrow the Educational Trunk of cultural, historical materials including stories, music and displays for our Camp,” Heroux said.

“The Museum is part of ‘The Ways of Knowing Stops’ sponsored by the Wild Center, which seeks to broaden understanding of the early Native American culture.”

Next week the Elizabethtown Library will continue its summer learning session with a visit from the Native American Tribal College troupe.

A performance by the dancers at 1 p.m. is being held at the United Church of Christ

Dave Ruch at E’town Day with a performance at the Hand House of heritage music.

on Court Street and is supported by a New York Humanities Grant for the Arts.

Reading remains a big part of the library’s summer program, Heroux said, with kids earning rewards as they achieve each mark toward their goal to read five books.

“We’ve gotten kids to get library cards, we’ve gotten kids to do some summer reading,” she said.

“It just brings the library closer to the families in our community.”

The closing event for summer campers on Aug. 9 includes an art lesson from wildlife illustrator Sheri Amsel, of Elizabethtown.

“We will be at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School that day so Sheri can teach the kids how to draw wild animals. She is volunteering her time for this,” Heroux said.

“It’s a treat to end the summer session.” ■

Pet adoption, nail trims, craft fair and more North Country SPCA to host open house Aug. 11

Wendy Beeman, chairwoman of the NCSPCA Board of Directors, said the warm welcome from shelter staff and its legion of volunteers is a chance for people to learn more about their important work and have fun exploring the shelter facility at the same time.

“One of the biggest highlights is free adoption of dogs and cats, the adoption fee is dropped for the day, and people can find new pets, pending approval of their application,” Beeman said.

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The grand opening five years ago at the North Country Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals shelter generated an annual celebration.

The Open House on Aug. 11 this year is an open invitation to families, friends, animal lovers, area residents with pets and those who might be looking for a new four-legged companion.

North Country SPCA

Free adoptions and pet services at open house There are so many reasons to come to this year’s annual NCSPCA Open House... you won’t want to miss it!

Join us on Saturday, Aug. 11 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. We will be offerBy Kathy Wilcox ing free adoptions (pending ap• COLUMNIST • proval of application) for adult cats and dogs! Submit an application ahead of time to get pre-approved to bring home a new friend at the open house.

We are also offering pet services from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.: rabies clinic ($5 suggested donation), nail trimming ($5 suggested donation) and microchipping clinic ($20 fee).

We’ll have a craft fair with over 25 vendors, fun, food, games, prizes, basket raffle and more!

For more information, please email the shelter at info@ncspca.org. We hope to see you there!

Our featured pet this week is TEDDY, a domestic shorthairmix with a tuxedo coat who, when he arrived with his siblings, was a little wild man used to fending for himself.

The group is quickly adapting and learning to love the indoor life - we can tell they will be terrific companions once they mature out of their kitten-hood.

Teddy will need a bit more socialization, but he really is a sweet little man. And that patchwork face of his... those markings! He’s such a handsome fellow. Please stop by and meet him. ■ — Kat Wilcox’s weekly column works to publicize the shelter’s adoptable pets. Find out more at ncspca.org

And some events help people with furry family they already have.

“Other high points are with the pet services we are offering. There will be micro-chipping clinic for $20; nail trimming for a suggested $5 donation; and a rabies clinic for a $5 donation.”

The clinics help people care for their pets with a little help from experienced staff.

Pet care and training are part of the day’s events.

“New York State Police Trooper Michael Phelps and Stanley the bloodhound will be at the open house to meet and greet people and to provide a demonstration on what they do,” Beeman said.

Sometimes K9 search technique requires a short game of hide-and-seek.

Located on State Route 9N between Westport and Elizabethtown, the NCSPCA shelter is a busy hub for new, lost or found family pets, abandoned or neglected pets.

Most recent statistics show that from mid-June to midJuly staff and volunteers at the shelter received 14 cats and eight dogs. In the same time frame, 12 cats were adopted out as were 10 dogs.

“We had four dogs reclaimed by owners in that time frame,” Beeman said. “And that’s just one month.”

Visitors can meet and talk with NCSPCA shelter personnel, who help it run every day, 365 days a year, through every season, heat, ice or snow.

“We have the best staff and volunteers, volunteers who

donate their time on holidays and make it all work, through snow storms and any weather. I don’t think people truly understand what goes in to daily care for our animals.

The staff and volunteers are so dedicated and so passionate about what they do.”

The family-friendly Open House on Aug. 11 is also part pet friendly craft fair.

“We have about 25 vendors coming for a craft fair this year, and one of the vendors is Lulu Clayton who does custom pet portraits. She will be available to do portraits right there,” Beeman said.

In addition, the event has planned food, games and prizes with proceeds to benefit care of the NCSPCA animals.

“We’re hoping for a great community inclusion event. I think this year is going to be a really good one,” Beeman said.

NCSPCA is the only SPCA animal shelter Essex County and is a no-kill shelter that provides refuge to over 400 dogs and cats each year. ■

Kahn, Green Party candidate seeking congress seat, awaits her chance Kahn aims to defeat Stefanik in midterms

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

SCHROON LAKE | Dr. Lynn Kahn bustled around her home as uncertain skies threatened rain, moving books around, shuffling policy papers and mindful of the quiche burbling away in the oven.

The organizational psychologist, the Green Party candidate for New York’s 21st Congressional District, had returned from Pennsylvania the day before, where she attended a summit designed to probe solutions for the problems facing family farms.

Kahn winnowed her agricultural policy prescriptions down to a three-point platform: Allocating government emergency funds for farmer relief; holding state and federal hearings to craft solutions, and implementing economic development plans.

The trip produced the latest draft, the 11th, in a living document updated with each successive input from stakeholders — including people like Lorraine Lewandrowski, a Herkimer County dairy farmer and attorney who counts a sizable Twitter following under the handle @NYFarmer.

Kahn bended Lewandrowski’s ear over lunch earlier this month.

“This is my style,” Kahn said. “This is my way of doing things.”

It’s a collective approach that Kahn, a clinical psychologist who spent 22 years working with federal aviation authorities, said she has utilized to help tame sprawling government bureaucracies.

NOT ON THE SIDELINES

porters of those two women get too caught up in it, and everybody else is too tired from working way too many jobs to go to useless meetings and don’t care.”

The average person — veteran, farmer, parent, grandparent — is focused on survival, Kahn said.

Kahn appeared to be most animated when discussing core campaign issues like better treatment of veterans — she rolled out an endorsement from a Las Vegas-group called Veterans in Politics International last week — and curbing abuses in the national foster care system, which she called “mean-spirited.”

While the nation is fixated on the crisis at the southern border, problems in the foster care system are “80 percent” comparable when it comes to inducing mental trauma in children, she said.

“About 95 percent of the time when state agencies take children away from families, the accusations turn out to be false or unsubstantiated,” Kahn wrote in an article for Democracy Chronicles, where she is a contributor.

“It’s an invisible crisis,” Kahn said. “The agencies need to have more of a conversation with the communities.”

But Kahn also skidded around specific policy prescriptions and was hard to pin down on specifics when it comes to the interplay between state, local and federal governments, only to say that the key was largely in culling government waste at the federal level.

The Department of Defense, for instance, has not been audited until recently.

“I want my shot because I know how to do it,” she said.

If elected, she would ask for just one committee assignment, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Keene Valley Library born anew Seven-year, $1.5 million capital project comes to close

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

KEENE VALLEY | A small child, eyes slowly drifting from one side of a color-splashed page to another, sat in a tiny sun-drenched nook at Keene Valley Library with a picture book poised against her folded knees.

A smile flickered quickly across her face, her eyes alight as if enjoying a private joke, before she turned the page and slowly ran her finger down it, smoothing out its surface.

Around her milled local officials, library guides and residents ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the space’s newly-renovated interior.

Last weekend the local library celebrated the near-completion of its $1.5 million capital project, a community-funded effort

seven years in the making.

“We’re 99.9 percent completed in terms of construction,” said capital campaign cochair Bill Reed.

The idea of revitalizing the library first surfaced at a board meeting in 2011, he said. Now, all that’s left to do is purchase — or be gifted — some new furniture and various supplies.

“We still have work to do, but we met that goal,” Reed said of the $1.5 million funding target. “We’re terribly proud of the community for making this happen.

“We’re very excited.”

As of 2010, Keene and its surrounding hamlets had a population of just over 1,000 people.

The Keene Valley Library has been sustained entirely by community and nonprofit donations since 1885. Leaning once again on the community it serves, the funds from the capital campaign came mostly through small donations, with help from some grants from New York state and a few local organizations, including the Pilcrow and Cloudsplitter foundations. » Library Cont. on pg. 15

» Library Cont. from pg. 14 The first phase of the library’s renovation plans, which addressed infrastructure issues — including improvements to the library’s archive storage and children’s reading room — was completed last year. Now the second phase, which expanded the library by approximately 1,800 square feet, added a new second floor with a digital classroom and meeting space, created a makerspace for students and updated the library’s entrance, is complete.

Spirits were high on July 28 when a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held outside on the library’s new outdoor patio.

The morning had been stormy, but in that moment, there was nothing but sunshine.

“We now have a bigger, more functional library in our little town in the woods,” said Keene Town Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson. “I can’t wait to get inside.”

More than 30 residents, lawmakers and stakeholders watched as a group of kids joined library association director Karen Glass in

making the final snip, the bright-yellow ribbon drifting to the floor to the sound of applause.

The crowd flocked into the library’s spacious new vestibule and out into a reorganized reception area, coffee bar and main reading room.

Small groups wandered in and out of different sections of the library, some venturing into a bright children’s alcove replete with a sweeping blue design on the walls, toys and a reading nook.

Others ventured downstairs, where a pair of cheerful children excitedly spoke about

the library’s new makerspace. Meanwhile, some made the climb to the new second floor, peeking wide-eyed into the community room.

This library doesn’t just exist here and now, Glass said. It exists, too, in the minds of everyone who grew up here. It’s an institution with longevity. It’s an institution with a future.

And there she was inside, a little girl quietly engrossed in a book.

With her and other children who still return to this place, the library’s future already being written. ■
