Schumer, in Adirondack stop, vows to fight for environmental safeguards

Acid rain may return with rollback of Clean Power Plan, lawmaker warns By Pete DeMola EDITOR

LAKE CLEAR | Environmental groups are continuing to sound the alarm on what rollbacks of the Clean Power Plan may mean for the Adirondack Park. Thirty years ago, a quarter of local lakes were basically dead, said U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles “Chuck” Schumer, who marveled on Friday at the recovery of Bear Pond following years of acid rain damage caused by emissions blown over from midwestern power plants. Test results at the isolated pond at the eastern side of the St. Regis Canoe Area in the 1980s revealed pH levels of 5.1, which was “staggeringly unhealthy,” Schumer said, killing off creatures like numerous trout species and salamanders. But the levels have since rebounded to 6.2 following passage of the Clean Air Act in 1990 — a tenfold reduction that has led to the regeneration of native species and wildlife, as well as progress at other hundreds of waterways across the Adirondacks. » Acid rain Cont. on pg. 7

Oldest book-return dates to American Revolution

Essex homeowner ﬁnds worn leather minute book from 1779 amid stack of antique ledger

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ESSEX | A historic record from the days of the American Revolution has turned up in a pile of time-worn books in Essex. Found was a leather-bound ledger with some 187 hand-scribed pages of general

assembly discourse. The document records about six months of new Pennsylvania laws and discourse from 1779. Long strokes of ink register the works of Pennsylvania’s founding body politic as the United States of America waged its fight against the King of England. Edie Morris was sorting and packing items at her family’s Block House Road estate and found a trove of forgotten books, 21 in all. “They were in a room, just sitting on a bookshelf,” Morris said. “I was cleaning the house.” Morris could tell instantly that the books were very old. Most account for family and business records from Essex during the 1800s. Except for one. Unsure of the best, next move, Morris brought them all to Belden Noble Library, where Monica Rumsey, a library board member, carefully cataloged the collection, one-by-one, agog. “My words just escaped me,” Rumsey said of the stack she found waiting at the library. “I was expecting a few and walked in here and saw a whole cart full.”

When she opened the general assembly minute book from 1779, Rumsey immediately called the National Archives for help and was promptly advised to contact the Pennsylvania State Archives. The call went through to Jonathan P. Stayer, state archivist in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Rumsey sent him photographs of the mottled cover, cover page, dates and script. The collection of meeting minutes begins Tuesday, March 16, 1779 and ends Sept. 27 the same year. Stayer was astonished. He knew the oldest book in the state archives, the single hand-written minute book they had, is from Pennsylvania’s founding General Assembly. The one in the state’s collection begins Sept. 28, 1779, on page 184. The minutes Morris found in Essex and Rumsey had in her hands ends on Sept. 27, 1779 on page 183. It is the preceding volume. “It was a Saturday, and I called my boss at home,” Stayer said. » Book Cont. on pg. 2

» Book Cont. from pg. 1 He could not believe original minutes taken during Pennsylvania Assembly meetings in 1779 were found in Essex. And he arranged to come in person to authenticate. Stayer arrived at Belden Noble Library to meet with Morris, Rumsey and Essex Town Historian Shirley LaForest. A hot, humid afternoon on Aug. 3, barely a hint of air moved off Lake Champlain past the library’s screen door. Edie Morris described how she found the book and formally presented the assembly ledger as a gift to the Pennsylvania State Archives. On his laptop, Stayer pulled up digitized pages of the oldest book in the state collection, comparing dates, pages and script. And the dates follow precisely. “This is our oldest minute book,” Stayer said, pointing at the screen. “Not anymore,” Morris said, handing him the leather-bound preceding volume. The exchange settled into a satisfied sense of order with Morris, Stayer, Rumsey and LaForest, her husband - Essex Councilman Jim LaForest and Library Director Tom Mangano present. The 19 additional mostly hand-written record books plus one Stafford family Bible found in Morris’s historic home were given to Mrs. LaForest in July. Each is cataloged, the historian said, and stored with town’s historic records. What nobody could figure out is how an original copy of Pennsylvania’s General Assembly meeting minutes made their way to Essex. Morris said her mother, Anne Kenworthy Lowe, who inherited the Block House home, had a long lineage among Philadelphia’s gentry. She isn’t sure if any Kenworthy ancestors served on Pennsylvania’s founding General Assembly. With the historic record duly in order, “Now,” Morris said, “I plan to look for a connection.” An archivist in Pennsylvania for 36 years, Stayer said he has come across several tales

Most had been typeset and published formally in bound books by the nineteenth century. “The archives were founded in 1903,” he said. “Before that, documents were kept in the attic of the state capitol.” As the old records piled up, he said, sometimes lawmakers showing guests through the attic would take one and give it away as a souvenir. Pennsylvania’s earliest state government was unicameral: one house– the general assembly, he said. “We do have published volumes of all of the assembly meetings,” Stayer said. “We just don’t have all of the original handwritten minute books.” Having this one intact and in tow, Stayer expressed immense appreciation to Morris, Rumsey, Mrs. LaForest and Belden Noble’s staff for their diligence and attention to historic detail. “I truly appreciate what Edie has done,” Stayer said of the gift. A mid-Revolutionary War record such as this could have been sold and possibly lost

again on the antique book market. “This is a treasure for the Pennsylvania State Archives,” he said. Stayer hopes to present the gift in front of Pennsylvania’s General Assembly when they return to session this fall. ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

A change in the general assembly minute book required a kind of paper patch, something of a Revolutionary War era sticky note, as language was scratched out below and new sentences crafted on the patch.

A page from Pennsylvania General Assembly minute book dated March 16, 1779 provides a look at the elegant handwriting of its scribe. There are a few different types of handwriting in the book, indicating that clerks to the assembly, all men, changed from time-to-time.

BRIEFS

Run, don’t walk, to the zombie 5K Peanut butter and jelly. Forks and knives. Zombies and roller coasters. Some things are just made By Arin Burdo for each other. • COLUMNIST • The Social Center Teen Rec program will venture to the Great Escape’s Zombie Run on Saturday, Sept. 29. The Zombie Run is not only a zombie-infested 5K race through an amusement park but also a fundraiser, with a portion of the proceeds going to the American Red Cross to aid in their life-saving missions. Anyone interested in sponsoring a teen who can dodge zombies better than they can come up with $30, please contact the center. Teens who would like to register should submit a permission form and payment to the center. The cost for teen rec members is $30 if registered before Wednesday, Sept. 12. Registration for members will cost $50 after that date. Season passholders receive a discount. Guests of members can register after Sept. 12 for $60, if space allows. Permission forms with full details

can be found at the center. Registration includes: race entry, Zombie Run t-shirt, a “Survivor Bash,” Great Escape Fright Fest entrance and a meal voucher for later in the day. How does a zombie run work? Before the race, runners will be given a flag belt that must be tied around the waist and worn with one flag on each hip and one flag on the lower back. These flags represent “lives.” It is the goal to fi nish the race with at least one life flag. It is the zombies’ goal to take lives and maybe a limb or two. Just like in a video game, once all three lives are gone, you “die,” which means you are not fit enough to survive a zombie apocalypse! However, you will still be able to complete the course and receive an official Zombie Run 5K time and finishers medal. For more information about Elizabethtown Social Center programming, visit elizabethtownsocialcenter.org or call 518-873-6408. ■ — Arin Burdo is the Executive Director of the Elizabethtown Social Center.

Essex County approves purchase of new landfill equipment

The Valley News Sun | August 18, 2018 • 5

Gear comes with $350,000 price tag By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County is going out to bid on new solid waste equipment. Supervisors approved spending not to exceed $350,000 which begins a five-year program to upgrade equipment at town transfer stations around the county and at the central collection point in Lewis. The allocation would buy two enclosed trailers, one forklift, two compactors, two recycling containers and one ejection roll-off container. Supervisors okayed the expenditure on Monday. The matter came up late in July at the Ways and Means Committee when County Manager Dan Palmer said equipment at many landfill sites needed to be replaced. The county’s waste management company, Serkil LLC, cannot meet the needs of most towns because they don’t have the equipment to do so, Palmer said. “Just as clarification to this, this is what is essentially the first year of the solid waste plan. We had talked about delaying that until Jan. 1 (2019), but it’s become obvious that the equipment is breaking down on a regular basis,” Palmer said. Use of county fund balance to pay for the upgrades would be restored through planned increases in tipping fees, Palmer said. “You know we’ve been running about a million dollars ahead in sales tax, so I’m confident that we’re okay with that,” he said. “We just can’t continue to band-aid the system together so to speak. This does allow for that first year purchase which will get us off the ground... if we go out to bid and order right away we’re probably not going to see this stuff (equipment) until November or December.” Palmer said. Essex County Department of Public Works Deputy Superintendent Joe Dougan said Ticonderoga would be one of the first towns to receive a new trash compactor because the existing one is broken. “The trailers are part of the overall rotating system,” Dougan told supervisors in late July. “The forklift is actually to go up at Serkil (in Lewis) for dealing with the recycling. The ejection container (...) they’re all in pretty rough shape so probably by the time that one gets here someone (town) will have moved to the forefront.” Dougan said the second compactor would be in Lewis and could be used to replace any in the county that failed. Supervisors entered into a five-year solid-waste contract with Serkil LLC, Essex County Landfill, in October of 2014. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

As summer fades

As another summer begins to fade quickly and the days are beginning to grow shorter, we all try to squeeze By Dan Alexander in those summertime • PUBLISHER • activities before school is back in session. Before we know it, the leaves will be falling, and soon we’ll find ourselves slipping and chipping away at the coming winter’s weather. Summer is kick-back time, sitting on the front porch watching the world on the move. Sandwiched between family reunions, picnics, a wedding or two, a game at the ballpark, or a popular swimming hole, summers are made to enjoy. So try slowing down your pace and just soaked up the opportunity to enjoy life. I remember a slower time in the past and try to compare that to the issues facing the American family today in a connected world that just can’t seem to be dialed down. As we pass through these changing times, it’s easy to find fault with the world and complain about what we don’t agree with rather than appreciating what we do have. Current events will always have an impact on how the pace of life changes through the ages, but priorities are frequently self-imposed. We should always take stock in how we choose to live and the value we place on time, which is ever so fleeting. It’s easy to get so caught up in all the new technology, the massive amounts of information we have streaming into our homes and the constant demands on our time. Putting down the phone and replacing it with a neighborly visit over the fence, taking a family trip or volunteering for a charity requires nothing more than making a simple choice and sticking with it. The solution is to keep your priorities grounded, sharing time with those you love and respect while being considerate of those who do not think like you. They are entitled to their thoughts, choices, and beliefs, just as much as you are to yours. Don’t let the highly contagious political fever spoil the joys of summer. There will be plenty of time to reengage with that mess when it counts the most, during the upcoming midterms and on election day. Enjoy these last fleeting days of summer. The world with all its ups and downs, scandals and threats will still be out there when Fall arrives. Summers are special, and each summer should be filled with unique memories that last a lifetime. Here’s hoping summer 2018 was one of your best summers yet. ■

Conservatives governed by ‘cold logic’ — not emotions

To the Editor: We conservatives like to express our feelings quietly through secret ballot, and not noisy street demonstrations and mob intimidation. We believe that the Constitution was written for American citizens and their posterity. We believe that we can better provide compassion for others by having an orderly society with legal immigration and not a state of border anarchy. We understand that it is the taxpayers of the U.S. and not citizens of the world that end up paying the welfare costs of illegal immigration. We understand that we have a national debt of $21 trillion, which will be borne by our descendants. We believe that adding to this burden is cruel and inhumane. Cold logic, and not emotions control, our actions. Competing civilly with quiet discourse in the marketplace of ideas should decide a winner at the ballot box. Then

GOP failing to improve election security

To the Editor: There’s no question Vladimir Putin’s Russia wants to see America’s democracy disintegrate into chaos. Our U.S. intelligence agencies, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee and officials from state boards of election all agree that Russia will attack our elections this November — again. What is our current congresswoman doing to defeat this imminent attack? Very little. Despite harmonious “red” warnings to the Senate panel on election security in June, Elise Stefanik and her House GOP cronies all subsequently voted to block increased funding to help states improve their election security. House Republicans did this

Did the full Senate heed all the warnings and rebuff the House’s failure to increase funding for election security? No. Instead, every Republican Senator (other than Bob Corker of Tennessee) recently used the GOP’s control of the Senate to block additional funding for election security.

work a week? Let’s unpack what happens when a government enforces a minimum wage. A minimum wage does not mean that workers will receive a livable wage. It means that, at a particular time, the (local, state or federal) government in a particular area thinks that workers should be paid a set minimum wage. That set wage might or might not be a livable wage depending on where and when the mandated wage is actively enforced. The dollar’s buying power can strengthen or depreciate in value but knowing where and when in a market is hard to predict. There are also different economies from city to city. What is a livable wage in New York City is vastly different from Albany... or rather what a livable wage is in Burlington, Vermont is higher than in Wilmington, Vermont and when comparing New York City to Burlington, their economies and livable wages are drastically different as well. These differences make it hard to predict and enforce a “livable” wage state wide, let alone a mandated minimum wage for the whole country.

» Acid rain Cont. from pg. 1 “We all know that the (Adirondack) Park been decimated by acid rain,” said Schumer, who delivered his comments at a remote shoreline only accessible by a single-lane dirt road. “It was just devastating that this natural beauty had been wiped out, and basically, wiped out by selfishness.” He relayed a quote from Delaware Senator Tom Carper: “Smog makes the east coast America’s tailpipe.” Over time, acid rain also erodes rocks, leading to a leakage of aluminum deposits that subsequently poison trees and waterways. Toxic rainfall also erodes pipes that carry drinking water, leaching lead into the water supply. Schumer and green groups fear a return of that devastation under a White House they contend is intent on rolling back environmental safeguards. Schumer said he’ll continue to fight against those efforts, including the proposed repeal of the Clean Power Plan by the Environmental Protection Agency. The framework, he said, is a critical part of the U.S.’ efforts to combat climate change. Measures recommended by the agency would lead to an increase in emissions, he said, including sulfur dioxide, one of the primary pollutants responsible for acid rain. The Trump administration is also signaling a reconsideration of the Mercury and Air Toxic Standards, Schumer said, which were among the first national standards to reduce mercury and other pollutants from coal-fired power plants.

» Letters Cont. from pg. 6 Even without the problems with different economies and the difficulties at predicting the economic strength of a country in the future, employer’s business habits will also change to accommodate for the minimum wage. Being forced to pay more at a starting wage, they will likely hire fewer employees and have each employee do more, hire skilled employees over unskilled employees or invest in machines that can cut the costs of production. So ultimately what minimum wage could be implemented? Time and the economic state will make a previous minimum wage inadequate for the worker or unaffordable for the employer. - Tyler Colford, Jacksonville, Vermont ■

Drastic remedies needed to combat global warming

To the Editor: With scorching heat and raging wildfires in the west and torrential downpours and massive flooding in the east, global warming is not just about a gentle sea rise any more. These tragic consequences of dumping greenhouse gases into our atmosphere call for drastic remedies. For starters, we should re-join the Paris Climate Accord and actually become a world leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. One of the most effective ways is by changing our diet. Yes, that. Last fall, Oxford University’s prestigious Food Climate Research Network concluded that solving the global warming catastrophe requires a massive shift to a plantbased diet. A 2010 United Nations report blamed animal agriculture for 19 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, 70 percent of freshwater use and 38 percent of land use. Carbon dioxide is emitted by burning forests to create animal pastures and by transporting animals. The more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are released from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools, respectively. In an environmentally sustainable world, we must replace meat

“That would be just a killer for the Adirondacks and the 12.4 million people who visit this area, many of whom love to fish and have a food time,” he said. Green groups — including the Adirondack Council, who hosted the lawmaker — have also long lashed the administration for failing to enforce the EPA’s Cross-State Air Pollution rule, which protects northeastern states from incurring the negative impacts of “externalities” generated by those power plants. Thirty-six coal-fired plants in the Ohio Valley have declined to turn on pollution control equipment for the second consecutive summer, said Adirondack Council Executive Director William Janeway, leading to a lawsuit from the Elizabethtown-based nonprofit and other green groups. It is possible for economic development to go hand-inhand with environmental protection despite concerns from a “hard-right” contingent in Washington, Schumer said. “It is not anti-economic, it is pro-economic,” he said. During his remarks, a loon emerged from the water, generating delight from the small crowd of residents, scientists and their children. “Twenty years ago, (loons) were really rare,” said Janeway. “There were almost none left in the Adirondacks. When I was a kid, if I saw a loon, I would stop talking. Everybody would stop talking and we’d take pictures and that would be it for the day because they were so rare.” Both Janeway and Schumer said protection of the environment has historically been a bipartisan priority and there wasn’t

Thank you for caring, Port Henry

To the Editor: I want to extend a warm thank you to some kind people who came to my aid. I don’t know them, but I hope they read this or hear that it was posted from others. I am the cashier at the Port Henry Dollar General who suddenly fainted and went down like a sack of wet cement. I was chatting with a customer and a second later, I was on the floor with him asking if I was alright. I didn’t get names, but I recall the faces and the concern they had for my well being. They kept me still in case of neck injury, called the rescue squad and one lady had medical equipment in her car and attended to me until the EMT people arrived. Another lady, who called in the incident, called my boss and kept after me to stay still and stay down, was a very special person as well. Had this episode happened with nobody in the store, I likely would have gotten up and ignored possible damage. I’m happy there are caring people nearby and I hope this message gets out to them somehow. - Ken Myrick, Port Henry ■

What happened to GOP leading charge on environmental legislation?

To the Editor: Hot? Have you talked to the local farmers about how hard it is to haul sufficient water for their overheated stock? To fishermen who are worried about the cold-water-loving trout? Do you have an elderly friend without air conditioning? Maybe you are a farmer, a trout fisherman or maybe you don’t have air conditioning. Maybe you have friends in those parts of California that are literally burning up. The new normal? More and more people, not just scientists, are saying it is. The two founders of the Congressional Climate Solutions Caucus, Rep. Elise Stefanik was an early member, recently introduced the Market Choice Act. It would eliminate the federal gas and diesel tax and instead raise revenue for infrastructure through a price on carbon. Some of the revenues would also be used for climate adaptation, energy research and measures to mitigate the impacts of the legislation. For instance, 10 percent would be used to benefit low-income households with offsets to higher energy prices. But the most important part of the legislation is that it is the first serious, Republican-led effort to reduce carbon emissions in about a decade. Republicans used to lead the charge on environmental legislation. What happened? How come Rep. Stefanik is not a cosponsor of this legislation? Why does she seem so afraid of leading instead of just following? - Katharine Preston, Essex ■

such polarization between the parties. “The Adirondacks have been this great success story now jeopardized by this 180 degree turn down in Washington,” Janeway said. Schumer said the isolated surroundings wasn’t the most remote location in which he’d staged a press conference. “I go to a lot of remote places,” he said, citing a trip earlier that day to Essex Farm, where he rode on a wagon pulled by draft horses. The Brooklyn Democrat said he spent his 25th anniversary hiking in the Adirondacks, and told attendees to continue to be active in fighting for green issues. “It’s the young people who will save us,” he said. “Actually, the young people are so much more green than the older people.” Schumer also had strong words for ex-EPA administrator Scott Pruitt, who he called a “disgrace” and “corrupt” following revelations of numerous ethical scandals. “If I become the majority leader, I’m not going to allow a Pruitt to be voted on,” he said to applause. “I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that EPA’s attempts to undo rules and undo legislation are met with the resounding defeat that they deserve.” He expressed little confidence that Pruitt’s replacement, Andrew Wheeler, will pursue a different trajectory. “I’m not optimistic that Wheeler would reverse anything that Pruitt has done,” he said. I’m more pessimistic that he’ll continue the bad work of Pruitt.” ■

between mother and baby and helps protect a baby from colds, diarrhea and respiratory infections. Breast milk reduces the risk of allergies, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and obesity. Moms who breastfeed tend to recover faster following delivery and return to their pre-pregnancy weight quicker. Breastfeeding provides an economic benefit by reducing doctor’s visits and formula demand. This August, individuals, employers, businesses and community groups can show support for a woman’s right to breastfeed in public. Individuals can support breastfeeding moms by not reacting to a mom breastfeeding in public and gently reminding family and friends that it is her right to feed her baby when and where she needs to. Families can talk to children about breastfeeding being a natural and healthy way for a mom to feed her baby. Employers can support breastfeeding moms by adopting policies that provide mothers with time and space to express milk at work. The Essex County Breastfeeding Coalition has grant funds available for Essex County worksites to support policy adoption and lactation room accommodations. Businesses and community groups can display signs on windows and doors that welcome breastfeeding moms. The Essex County Breast Coalition also has decals available to any Essex County business that is interested in participating in the Breastfeeding Welcome Here Initiative. A breastfeeding tent is also available for loan for any upcoming community events. Not every woman is able or willing to breastfeed, but those who can and choose to do so, deserve to be supported.

Rome Dam removal project slated for fall

Price tag on $2.3 million project to be picked up by state By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County supervisors awarded the bid to deconstruct the Rome Dam in AuSable Forks to Reale Construction Inc., of Ticonderoga. The $2,298,000 funding grant to remove the historic earthworks comes from the governor’s office of storm recovery, part of the New York Rising initiative to help mitigation and repair work after tropical storm Irene hit in 2011. The dam removal project was formally approved by the Jay Town Council in April 2017. The town has been under New York State Department of Environmental Conservation consent order to address safety at the Rome Dam site since 2010. Jay Supervisor Archie Depo said the county had to award the bid because funds were coordinated for the town through Essex County via New York Rising. The contract suggests construction would begin Sept. 8, but Depo said town officials and the contractor are trying to push the date back to Aug. 15. It will likely take six weeks or more to complete removal of the four-story dam that stretches 103 feet across the West Branch.

The Rome Dam, historically known as the Pulp Mill Dam, is visible in this photo circa 1903 behind the J and J Rogers mill operations it was built to power. “The Town of Jay will meet with personnel from the governor’s office and Reale Construction to go over the details of deconstruction,” Depo told The Sun on Wednesday. “The timeline is six to eight weeks, and they’ve got to be out of the river by Oct. 1. We’re pushing for Aug. 15 to start right now, and we’re pretty confident that we’ll get that date.” Asked why the project cost nearly $2.3 million, Depo said the dam’s size, location and tons of sediment behind it are part of the cost equation. “They have to remove 48,000 cubic yards of sediment out of the area behind the dam,” Depot said.

quite an operation,” Depot said. “I don’t believe there will be any flooding related to dam removal.” Some of the sediment removed from the Rome Dam is going to be stored a mile and a half away, Depo said, where it can be crushed for gravel. “The rest of it is going to our sand pit in Harkness for use when we do riverbank restoration. The big, stony stuff can be used for (Ausable) river restoration on the east branch. The other stuff can be crushed into gravel and used for fill.” ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

“And they’ve got to build a road down into it. There is an almost 90 foot-drop to reach the dam from the river bank. “It’s a large dam, 103 feet long, 38-feet deep,” Depot said. “Just to see what’s involved to get down to that dam would show you. The cost to remove it actually came in less than what they thought it would.” Removal of the Rome Dam is planned in sections. “They are actually going to be taking it out in layers, a foot at a time, to lower the water. There’s really no other way of doing it to let the water out slowly. It’s going to be

Coal gas clean-up on schedule in Saranac Lake

DEC: Work at the superfund site is expected to be complete by fall By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

The excavated material “is loaded onto trucks within the sprung structure which contains an air filtration system,” DEC said in its update. “This controls odors, dust and other nuisances from leaving the site. Additionally, odor control solutions are used during dredging activities.”

In addition, DEC said, air quality is being monitored upwind and downwind from the project site. “One monitor is placed upwind and three are placed downwind to monitor particulate levels in the area. No visible dust should leave the work areas, and if air monitors detect dust above action levels, work will be stopped until corrective measures are in place.” Sediment that tests safe can be reused as backf ill or solidif ied. At the gas plant site, a 1.37-acre area will be treated with in-situ solidification, where soil mixed with solidifying agents to reduce permeability and thus eliminate groundwater contamination. At public hearings, residents had asked what would happen to contaminated soil. DEC explained that “only soil that meets commercial standards can remain on site and be used for fill under the site cover.” Work at Pontiac Bay and Brandy Brook are on schedule, proceeding as planned, according to DEC. Removal of contaminated sediment from Pontiac Bay will be completed by fall and subsequent restoration of the bay, adjacent lands and the DEC Lake Flower Boat Launch will be nearly complete before winter, DEC said in an update. The site will be restored in time for ice palace construction in 2019. ■ — This story has been abridged for print. To read this story in its entirety, visit suncommunitynews.com.

A sprung structure at Pontiac Bay doesn’t have the artistic quality of the ice palace built there during Saranac Lake’s Winter Carnival, but it does protect air-quality as sediment is excavated from Pontiac Bay for dewatering. The site is in active work mode to clean up coal gasification sludge here and up along parts of Brandy Brook where the village once had a plant to make gas for streetlights. Photo by Kim Dedam SARANAC LAKE | The white, barn-like tent over Pontiac Bay isn’t a summer version of an ice palace. It’s called a “sprung structure,” and functions as a dewatering area: An air-quality contained enclosure where sediment dredged from the floor of Lake Flower is dewatered and placed on barges to be moved to transfer stations or further treatment. Air exchange equipment maintains air quality inside and around the sprung structure and tracks any trace of volatile compounds that could escape the process. Contamination at the Saranac Lake superfund site is the result coal gasification, a process used until about 1940 in the village to make coal gas for streetlights and other appliances.

Local libraries net state funds

Paine Memorial Free Library garners $2,500 to bolster accessibility By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

WILLSBORO | Seven libraries around the region will receive money from the state for building construction and rehabilitation projects. The funds, announced by state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) and state Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury), will go toward construction projects at libraries in Willsboro, Schroon Lake, Keene Valley, Port Henry, Keeseville, Glens Falls and Granville. “One of the things that makes our communities and our nation great is our network of public libraries accessible to all,” Little said in a statement. “Each year, I am pleased to be able to secure funding in the state budget which goes

directly to local libraries in the form of small grants to help them improve the services they offer their patrons. “These additional funds for much larger capital projects will help our libraries make important upgrades to ensure they are safe, accessible and welcoming.” In Willsboro, the Paine Memorial Free Library will receive $2,500 toward a series of three ongoing construction projects there, according to library director Cheryl Blanchard. The first project, which includes electrical improvements and a revamped entrance on the lower level, is expected to cost $119,625. A grant has already been secured to fund that, Blanchard said. The second project has also already received grant funding. Plans include $54,000 in upgrades to the basement dewatering system to curb flooding that’s plagued the library for years and a plaster molding restoration effort. The library is still working on grant funding for the third project which would allow a handicap-accessible entrance to be built, Blanchard said. The third phase also includes plans to upgrade the library’s board room with new technology for distance learning and online conferencing.

“(These projects) will allow the library to be more accessible and ensure that it’ll continue to be here,” she said. The Keene Valley Library, which just recently closed out a $1.5 million capital project that expanded the space by 1,800 square-feet and added a number of new features, will also receive funding from the state. It’s unclear how much the library will receive, according to Keene Valley Library Association Director Karen Glass, but this new funding will be used as part of the library’s ongoing $1.5 million capital plans. The New York State Library and New York State Education Department have approved 230 construction projects for public libraries and public library systems around the state, according to a news release from Little’s office. The projects are supported by $24 million in statewide capital fund appropriations secured in the 2017 state budget. Other libraries that were awarded funds include the Schroon Lake Public Library, the Sherman Free Library in Port Henry, Keeseville Free Library Association, the Crandall Public Library in Glens Falls and the Pember Library and Museum in Granville. ■

Grants now available for historic markers Applications for the roadside markers are due Oct. 1

ELIZABETHTOWN | The William G. Pomeroy Foundation has begun accepting 2018 applications for fully funded historic roadside markers to commemorate history in several New York counties. Grant application materials are now available for the following New York state counties: Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Sullivan, Ulster, Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga,

Schenectady, Warren, Washington, Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton and St. Lawrence. Letters of intent are due by Friday, Sept. 14, and the final application deadline is Monday, Oct. 1. A complete grant schedule by region is available on the Pomeroy Foundation website at wgpfoundation.org/index.cfm/nys-historic-grant-programs/historic-roadside-markerprogram/schedule. Municipalities and charitable non-profit organizations in New York state are welcome to apply for the historic roadside marker grants. Local historical organizations or municipal historians will often apply for the grant on

behalf of property owners. For information about all of the Pomeroy Foundation’s Historic Signage Grant Programs, marker guidelines and how to apply, visit wgpfoundation.org or call 315-913-4060. The William G. Pomeroy Foundation is a private foundation established in 2005 by Bill Pomeroy. The foundation’s two main initiatives are to diversify the “Be the Match Registry” by supporting bone marrow drives and helping community’s celebrate their history through various historic signage grant programs. To date, the foundation has awarded more than 700 grants for historic signage in New York and beyond. The Pomeroy Foundation

strongly believes that historic markers play an important role by serving a dual purpose. The signs educate the public and foster historic tourism which in turn economically benefits the communities in which the signs are placed. They also reveal unique historical contributions in each community and instill pride of place in local residents. The foundation also offers professional development grants for historical societies. Through its other core initiative, the foundation has organized hundreds of marrow drives and registered more than 25,000 potential donors, producing 75 donor/patient matches. ■

Microsoft Airband tests new device on Essex Farm Sen. Charles “Chuck” Schumer visits, farmers talk tech and draft horses By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ESSEX | Visiting Essex Farm on Friday, Sen. Charles “Chuck” Schumer bounced along farm fields in a wagon pulled by farm draft horses Jake and Abbey. The senator made his first of two Adirondack afternoon stops at the sprawling 1,100 acre farm. Farmers Kristin and Mark Kimball were finishing up a midday lunch with field and farm crew team: A venison fajita for fresh tortillas made by husbandry team staff Evan Rieth. They saved a plate for the senator, but instead piled into the buckboard wagon to tour the vegetable fields, livestock and rural wagon lanes that reach toward Lake Champlain. The gathering was timed to bring Microsoft Corporation Airband Initiative developers together with the senator. Airband Initiative Director Paul Woods and Dave Pryor, the tech company’s director of federal government affairs, are working with Essex Farm to develop and avail new wireless capacity that essentially rides empty television channels. Tapping white space frequencies, Microsoft is developing technology for new wireless systems. It could build something like a giant wi-fi system. UHF and VHF frequencies aren’t stymied by trees or leaves or buildings. The first test device isn’t much bigger than an old-fashioned tape recorder. “It’s in here,” Woods said, opening the door of one of the farm’s refrigerated storage containers. On the wall near boxes of eggplant, beside crates of fresh greens and shelves of raw milk, the sensor box monitors humidity and temperature and then shares the data in real time to Microsoft’s cloud. It could essentially reinvent connectivity

New York Senator Charles E. Schumer arrived at Essex Farm Friday afternoon for a tour and a talk with farm founder and owners Mark and Kristin Kimball.

to connect people to the land and really give people the information they need about farming and the environment,” Mark said. Rieth, who works on Essex Farm with the animals, explained that a large part of his job is to make sure water in flowing to all livestock areas and electric fences remain hot. Having a farm wi-fi system, Rieth said, could cut a few hours off his day. Tech distribution systems analyst Fred Engelmann, of Chestertown, who runs Rainmaker Network Services at Glenburnie and in Gull Bay on Lake George was also at Essex Farm on Friday. He is assessing boots-on-the ground options with Doug Lloyd, of Layer2 Networks LLC for potential fiber distribution throughout the farm. The think-tank collaboration is working locally to source a global solution for rural broadband access. “We are looking at sensors to reach IOT (Internet of Things),” Engelmann said. Whether it monitors chill for eggplants, electric fence current, soils or wind, or improves worker communication, Essex Farm, Microsoft and local system developers are searching for connectivity at the very end of dirt roads and rows of corn. ■

Saranac Lake wins $10 million for downtown revitalization Cuomo delivers good news at Hotel Saranac By Pete DeMola EDITOR

SARANAC LAKE| The Village of Saranac Lake is the latest winner in the state’s $10 million sweepstakes designed to revitalize downtown areas, becoming the first locality in the Adirondacks to garner the designation. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the funding at the Hotel Saranac on Tuesday, a lunchtime event that whipped the standing room-only crowd into a fervor. “You did it,” Cuomo said. “No one else did and this is just going to keep the momentum going. It’s going to keep the growth, it’s going to keep the energy. The force is with you.” Saranac Lake was among the 10 localities across the state who received funding in the

NEXT STEPS

Now that the funds have been announced, the committee has until November to complete their downtown profile, assessment and overview of overall DRI goals. Final strategies are due in December; submission of draft project profiles in January, and a final strategic investment plan in March. Rabideau likened the project selection process to a competition within a competition. “It’s a competition within the village just like we do statewide to bring out the best,” he said. While the DRI planning committee is not required to adhere to a specific meeting schedule, a minimum of three public meetings or workshops are mandated as part of the process. “All full (local planning committee) meetings are open to the public,” according to Empire State Development. “The extent that the public will be able to actively participate

third round of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI), part of a $100 million package. The village joins the City of Plattsburgh, which secured funds in 2016, and Watertown the following year. The award builds upon more than $45 million in public and private funds invested in downtown projects over the past decade, including $5 million to restore the Hotel Saranac. “Businesses don’t come to New York State without government incentives,” Cuomo said. The North Country Regional Economic Development Council selected Saranac Lake in their second bid for the prize based on a competitive review process from communities throughout the region.

THREE PRIORITY PROJECTS

The local planning committee flagged three priority areas for redevelopment, according to the application, including Dorsey Street, streetscape enhancements to Church Street, and Broadway/Depot, which has six acres of property available for development. One key project is moving Pendragon

in a meeting will depend on the purpose and structure of the meeting. However, every meeting will include some time set aside for public comment to be received.” Rabideau said the committee has already flagged numerous projects for consideration, each of which must be given a fair shot through a scoring system. “We want the best projects that bring the biggest bang for the buck to our village,” said Rabideau, who hoped the project would act as catalyst for growth in neighboring Lake Placid and Tupper Lake. Cuomo echoed those sentiments, likening the DRI to dropping a stone in a pond, forming concentric circles that will ripple out into neighboring communities. “It’s synergizing Saranac Lake, it’s synergizing North Elba, it’s synergizing Keene,” he said. “It’s just another boost for the North Country and everything that’s going on. It’s another victory in what’s been a steady, steady climb towards progress.” ■

Theatre to the Woodruff Street area — a project Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau estimated would eat up a “significant” chunk of funds — and transforming the neighborhood into a connection corridor. “We want to make Woodruff Street block near the restaurant sector a major thoroughfare with archways and lighting so that the pedestrians will feel comfortable making that one-block walk from the theater to dinner, or dinner to the theater,” Rabideau said. “That’s the type of strategic planning we’ve been doing the last couple of years.” Numerous additional projects are “on the bubble” of fruition, he said, and he hoped the state funds would serve as an additional accelerant for their completion.

‘DO-OR-DIE’ MONEY

Rabideau called the grant award “do-ordie money” akin to the state’s investment to Hotel Saranac, which completed its four-year renovation process last year. “That’s the type of money we’re looking for. Not just seed money, but the type of money to take it over the top,” he said. Unlike Plattsburgh, which has been grappling with parking solutions following the proposed development of an empty parking lot, Rabideau appeared to indicate the creation of new parking

opportunities would not play a leading role in Saranac Lake’s upcoming process, citing two years of discussions with stakeholders. “More and more, we’re making Saranac Lake a pedestrian-friendly village,” he said. “And frankly, we don’t have parking requirements in our new zoning for the region. We want people to park their cars and walk, bike and cross-country ski.” The friendly crowd was jubilant throughout Cuomo’s extended speech in which the governor recalled a canoe trip with his daughters. A eagle swooped down in a “beautiful graceful glide” and deposited a single feather, which now hangs on his fireplace. “It’s moments like that are just gifts forever,” Cuomo said as the crowd cooed. And they were turbocharged by a faux pas uttered by Empire State Development CEO Howard Zemsky, who had earlier referred to the central Adirondack community as “Saranac” in his remarks. “It’s Saranac Lake!” bellowed the crowd. Cuomo told the audience no other administration has doled out as much investments to upstate, some $36 billion, or $3.4 billion to the North Country alone. “Thanks for the money!” yelled a woman after he finished his remarks. ■

Sun Community News to host forum on potential school merger Event slated for Sept. 25 at Depot Theatre

ELIZABETHTOWN | Sun Community News will host a community forum to discuss the proposed merger of Westport Central School (WCS) and Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School (ELCS). The event will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 6 p.m. at the Depot Theatre in Westport. The forum is free and open to the public. Community members from both school districts are strongly encouraged to attend. The forum will offer an opportunity for a panel discussion, moderated by Sun Community News and Printing Publisher Dan Alexander and Managing Editor Pete DeMola. Sun Community News and Printing has been following the progress of the conversations for many months, through merger study meeting attendance and its subsequent reporting. At the ELCS and WCS school board meetings in early September, the boards will vote to determine if the process stops or if the school district community members should

cast a vote to move the process ahead. It is widely anticipated that the boards will vote to let their respective school districts make the decision through a straw poll scheduled for Oct. 6. This straw poll simply tests opinion, it does not decide that the merger will or will not happen. The poll will determine if the communities are interested and that boards and school administrators have the districts’ collective support to continue the assessment and study of the proposed merger, eventually leading to a binding community-wide referendum in December. Since the districts are about to cast their collective opinion regarding continued exploration of a merger, this community forum is being arranged to take place ahead of that vote. The timing of the forum will help guide each community’s decision about whether or not to continue studying the possibility of a merger. Pete DeMola has heard from those in favor of a merger and also from people who view it as less favorable. “While reading the study’s findings is important, it is also imperative to have open discussion. This is a topic that affects both communities,” DeMola said. “A community forum will allow those in favor of a merger and those against the

merger to be heard publicly, along with those who may still be undecided, so that everyone can make an informed decision.” The forum will consist of a panel discussion among community members who have differing opinions of the proposed merger. “Sun Community News is in the process of searching for community members willing to take part,” said DeMola. “We are working to establish a group of 5-8 people — some in support, some against and some undecided from each school district —who will be willing to share their thoughts during the moderated discussion.” According to Publisher Dan Alexander, it is important for Sun Community News and Printing to encourage discussion. “Our newspapers serve these local school districts and communities — we all have a vested interest in this issue,” he said. “I believe that our papers and our reporters have a responsibility to our region — helping to share information with one another, especially when debating such significant issues. It is important that these decisions are to be made after sharing information, having good discussions and thinking it through as much as possible. We are excited to help foster information sharing and discussion.” ■
