County votes to use vendor to expedite tax auction process Hiring an outside vendor to conduct title searches will put tax auctions back on regular schedule, says finance committee By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County lawmakers voted Monday to explore using an outside agency to conduct title searches for tax-delinquent properties, the first step necessary to launch the formal foreclosure process. The decision to authorize an RFP, which passed the Finance
Business isÊ buzzing
Committee 8-1, stems from longstanding lawmaker frustration over the lack of regular tax sales designed to place the properties back onto the tax rolls. That infrequency leads to continued deterioration of abandoned properties and lost revenue, lawmakers argue. The county also has to meet re-levies for towns, schools, villages and special districts. At present, the Essex County Clerk’s Office conducts the searches in-house, a labor-intensive process that searches delinquent properties in chronological order based on year. Once that process is completed, the county attorney and treasurer send letters to delinquent property owners. Peeling those tasks away and giving them to an outside

Diversity group tackles tough questions
Seth Bushey, 13, is learning important farming skills in beekeeping alongside his grandmother, Linda Dubay AU SABLE FORKS — A blue-ribbon winner at the Essex County Fair last week may have found a full-time occupation. And Seth Bushey, of Jay, is only 13-yearsold. Beekeeping is becoming more than a 4-H project for the lad, who is part of the Au Sable Echoes 4-H Club, a family club Kim led by his mom, Tami Bushey. Dedam It is an endeavor he is learning along Writer with his grandmother Linda Dubay, of Au Sable Forks. “I got into bees because my nephew (Scott Parrotte) had gotten into bees,” Dubay said, as Seth brought his newly assembled hives to the 4-H judges in Westport last week. Dubious at first, she said she started to watch her the hives her nephew placed in her backyard. “I took my chair and went out and sat there, watching these bees. The motto ‘busy as a bee’ certainly is true.” Their wiggle dances and beating wings all have purpose, Dubay said.
agency will not lead to a loss of revenue in that department, said Dan Palmer, the county manager. “The tax search responsibilities are not going to end — they’re just going to change focus,” said Palmer. While the outside agency is conducting title searches for 2013 properties, the clerk’s office can shift their attention to 2016 properties, Palmer said. “We’re probably looking in the next six months given the number of properties you’re looking at,” Palmer said of a possible expedited process. The $150 search fee will still be recoverable if the property sells at auction, Palmer said.
From attracting newcomers to expanding the economy, diversity is vital to survival of Adirondack Park, says Adirondack Diversity Advisory Council Seth Bushey, 13, and his grandmother Linda Dubay, described their venture into beekeeping as Seth brought his newly built hives to 4-H judges at the Essex County Fair.

“The dance tells the other bees how many miles away the food source is.” Together, they bought Seth get his first hive, an unfinished double “nuc,” which is a frame set with a queen inside. “He was like, ‘Oh really, you can sell the honey?’” Dubay smiled. That’s not all Seth has learned about the bee business. >> See BEE BUSINESS | pg. 10

NEWCOMB — Alvin Codner had just finished orientation at a summer camp in the central Adirondacks. It was his first day off. Codner, 26, and his fellow counselors headed into Lake George, where they found themselves at a beach bar on Amherst Street popular with tourists. Codner doesn’t drink, but the rest of the group ordered beer to go with their meals. They were asked to show identification three times. On the fourth, a member of the party asked the bouncer why. The bouncer reportedly told Codner it was the bar’s policy to check each time a new staffer began a shift. >> See DIVERSITY | pg. 7

Lake Placid nets state cash for water infrastructure projects Olympic Village nets $1.5 million in state grant funding By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE PLACID — Local officials are rejoicing over $29.7 million in state grant funding for water infrastructure projects. Lake Placid was awarded $1.5 million last week in grant funds and a low-interest loan for the project to replace downtown sewer lines. Portions of the sewer system have been under a state Department of Conservation consent order since 2004. “This particular award will allow us to proceed with work that needs to be done to good standards,” said Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall. Two lines need to be replaced. With this round of funding, the village will tackle the repair of the underground pipe that runs along the east side of Mirror Lake. “Given the proximity to the lake, we obviously want to get the repairs corrected in a way that will reduce those risks,” Randall said.
The sewer line project is just one portion of a broader, multi-phase village infrastructure project that will overhaul much of Main Street’s water infrastructure, including water line and stormwater drain replacements. Lake Placid has applied for additional state funding to increase the scope of the project, including a $4.2 million package sent out this week through Essex County’s Community Resources Department. Right now, several sections of Main Street drain directly into the lake, depositing salt and other matter, leading to increased salinity, said Randall. Mirror Lake is spring-fed, which means that salt doesn’t get flushed out. “It makes sense to get all infrastructure issues addressed while making changes,” Randall said. The water lines underneath Main Street are antiquated and not up to modern standards, the mayor said. “Hopefully the CFA process will be good to us in December.” The village also put in for funds for a preliminary engineering grant for a downtown parking garage, a long-sought after project the mayor said will aid in solving congestion issues.
Lake Placid was among the North Country municipalities that received state grant funding for water infrastructure projects last week.
“The scope of the garage for size and the number of spaces is really going to depend upon engineering recommendations,” Randall said. “My guess is over 2-3 years, it will come to fruition.” The state has previously smiled upon Lake Placid, awarding the village $1.8 million last year. Work is slated to begin during the shoulder season, Randall said.
“I don’t think anyone would want to see construction during July and August.” Eighteen communities across the North Country were awarded funding last week, including Elizabethtown, Crown Point, Champlain and Tupper Lake, which received $4.2 million in grants and low-interest loans for the $6.2 million project that will feed the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort project.

Champlain Valley farm stands targeted by thieves By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
WADHAMS — They’re a staple of summer: Farm stands, roadside fixtures that farms use to sell locally grown produce and other value-added products. As part of long-standing tradition, most are unmanned and operate on an honor system through the use of cash boxes. But this summer has seen a spate of thefts that has frustrated farmers across the region, at least a half-dozen of whom have been stricken by roaming gangs of petty thieves. “We were getting robbed four days in a row,” said Laurie Davis, whose farm, Harvest Hill, has a stand at the Dogwood Bakery in Wadhams, a country crossroads in the heart of the county’s farming community. At the nearby Reber Rock Farm, an unknown perp has been making off with $8 at a time. Essex Farm reported similar incidents stretching as far back as May, as has the Carriage House Garden Center and Ben Wever Farm, both in Willsboro, and the Rehoboth Homestead in Peru, Clinton County. The crime wave hasn’t torpedoed the hallowed culture, but has led to changes to curb the practice, including the installation of security cameras. Rehoboth Homestead, located on Jabez Allen Road, has been monitoring footage and has zeroed in on four repeat offenders: three of them have been riffling through the cash box, and a fourth has been absconding with product.

Bringing in outside help, said lawmakers, will also send a strong message that the county is serious about holding tax delinquents accountable, and that they have improved their internal tracking process. “We need to change the expectations of property owners, the impact of not being taxed,” said Shaun Gillilland (R-Willsboro). Ron Moore (R-North Hudson) was the lone dissenting vote, arguing that while he wasn’t opposed to the measure, he wanted to know the exact costs before signing off on a service that the county already provides in-house. Palmer admitted the costs for the vendor, which would likely come from fund balance, are unknown. “It’s time to bite the bullet, get caught up on this, and then move forward from there,” said Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Randy Preston (I-Wilmington). “I think nine years is long enough,” he added, referring to
One of the suspects was even captured on film taking a large bankroll from his pocket, said Beth Spaugh, the farm’s co-owner. “He is not destitute,” Spaugh said. Spaugh said she will be notifying state police with identification that could possibly nab the suspects. Thefts have occurred as recently as Sunday. For now, the cash box has been replaced with a lockbox with a drop slot, a measure that Spaugh says has reduced purchases because it deprives customers the opportunity to make change. A note left last week read, “How do you expect us to buy anything if we can’t make change?” Another patron put their items down and left. “So that is hurting our business, actually,” Spaugh said. Spaugh said she’s frustrated at the level of time spent monitoring security footage, and almost decided that it wasn’t worth her mental time and energy to pursue an issue that may only result in minor charges. But acquaintances in law enforcement encouraged her to keep at it. Spaugh will augment the cameras with signs. The message is clear: We’re watching. “It’s much better to deter than to go after them afterwards,” she said. One arrest has been made in connection with the thefts. the time the board has spent debating the issue. The issue has boiled over in recent months as lawmakers have attempted to pin down the exact reason for the delay, with the county attorney’s office, clerk and treasurer all being grilled by supervisors. But a meeting last week between department heads and lawmakers appeared to offer clarity to the issue. Preston said the county just wanted to move ahead without placing blame on any one department. “[The clerk’s office] is not responsible for this process, getting behind all these years,” Preston said. Along with the expedited schedule, Essex County Treasurer Mike Diskin said breaking auctions into two segments — including by town — may prove to be beneficial because it would keep bidders interested. “If we can run ‘12 and ‘13 together, then ‘14 and ‘15 together, that makes a good sale size for what we’re looking for,” Palmer said. Diskin said the county will post foreclosed properties on Aug. 31. The county’s auction firm said they have Oct. 26 available for a possible auction date, but it was not confirmed,
Carrie S. Miller, 48, was arrested on Friday after allegedly pilfering from the Carriage House Garden Center. According to police, workers reported a larceny after Miller entered the stand at 5:30 p.m. and allegedly took money out of the cash box. Additional cases are still under investigation, a state police spokesperson said on Monday, and interviews are continuing. For now, farmers are doing their best to navigate this altered landscape. At the Dogwood Bakery, Harvest Hill’s cash box has been moved inside, and the premises are now being monitored by a camera donated by a patron. “Our customers have been extremely supportive,” Davis said. “We’ve got it solved for now, but it’s not ideal.” the treasurer said. The resolution now heads to the Ways and Means Committee on Monday, Aug. 29.

Truth & Transparency
o what end do we, as voters, value the endorsements candidates receive or give? Presidential Candidate, Ted Cruz refused to give his endorsement to Republican nominee Donald Trump, causing many in the party to declare he committed political suicide, while others felt he stayed true to his convictions. Conversely, Democratic Presidential Candidate, Bernie Sanders threw his overwhelming support behind nominee Hillary Clinton, and while it may have united the party, many believe Sanders sold out his loyal followers by giving in to party demands. One by one we see folks in the spotlight throwing in their two cents, but do we really care? So many factors go into one’s vote, especially for president since we are bombarded for such a long period of time with so much information. I wonder, if for some people it’s as easy as saying well if so and so is going for {name your candidate here}, well that’s good enough for me and I’ve made my choice? With so many issues and so much time for candidates to fail, succeed and fail again I have to wonder if endorsements at even matter. Let’s face it the debates are going to be earthshaking. With two debates going head to head against the NFL, chances are the football game will not be the biggest clash of the night, nor will it be the most discussed event the next day when everyone will be “armchair quarterbacking” at the water cooler. This year, more so than anytime in my lifetime the choices are less than clear with so much on the line. After the fiercely contested primaries for both parties, America has made it pretty clear we want a candidate to break the Washington mold, maybe even the two party monopoly. I believe the 2016 presidential race will come down to the last few days before many decide who and even if they will participate in the vote. When it comes right down to it I think many want the person most capable of leading the nation, regardless of party. The one who survives this slugfest will no doubt be the one who proves they are capable of standing up to harsh public opinion, negative poll numbers and the inconsistency that comes from being less than perfect. One things for sure, none can claim to be a perfect candidate this year. So who cares what anyone else thinks? In America, we are independent minded and no one tells us what to do, think or how to vote.

Governor needs to sign indigent defense bill
F
ew words strike more fear into the hearts of local leaders than “unfunded mandates.” Each year, as our elected officials huddle over budget projections, those Pac-Man type pie charts showing uncontrolled costs seem to be growing — items like health insurance, retirement, child welfare services and the minimum wage, which saw a significant uptick this year here in the Empire State. In Essex County, where taxes have escalated annually, 75 percent of the 2016 tax levy was allocated to costs over which they have no control, a number that shot to 111 percent in Clinton County. Paired with the tax cap, increasing taxes to compensate isn’t possible — at least not here in our region, where increasing the levy is like drawing blood from a stone. On top of the tax base, left stagnant by nature of simply being in the Adirondack Park, the tax cap inflation factor this year, at 0.68 percent, is the lowest allowable growth since the cap was implemented. But at the same time, we’re faced with the same issues vexing the rest of the state — like the reliance on publicly-funded defense attorneys. Court costs in the North Country are skyrocketing. Costs to Essex County’s assigned counsel program, which handles family court cases, increased 150 percent in the past decade. In Warren County, officials are exploring the idea of privatizing the public defender’s office, which handles criminal court, in order to get costs under control. While local officials are reluctant to play armchair experts and attribute the uptick to an exact cause, it mirrors the entrenched opiate epidemic, which continues to stress local resources to the breaking point. Drug abuse equals broken homes. Just ask the panelists from across the region who spoke at a series of state-sponsored panels on heroin abuse earlier this year. Counties do get some state aid for providing legal services to the poor each year, about 25 percent. Grants are also available, but they’re not permanent, which means resources are contingent on the success of that grant reapplication. Public defenders, not just those in the North Country, but across the country, are bound to the U.S. Constitution to provide counsel for criminal defendants who cannot afford an attorney.
With the eligibility requirements always in a state of flux, that could mean 80 percent of the population are eligible for court-assigned counsel. Failing to fulfill these requirements has real-life consequences. Just look at the lawsuit filed against the state and five counties — including neighboring Washington County — alleging that chronic underfunding led to inadequate legal counsel that failed to meet constitutionally-required standards. As such, it was argued defendants were deprived of their constitutional rights. While the lawsuit was settled in 2014, only those five counties received an influx of state funding to course-correct, leaving the remaining counties unaffected (and some say, susceptible to a lawsuit). The state legislature acted fast. This spring, they passed a bill sponsored by Assemblywoman Patricia Fahy and Sen. John DeFrancisco that would require the state to pick up the full cost of indigent legal services over seven years, a phased-in approach similar to the minimum wage policy. Legal experts hailed the passage as a civil rights victory. We agree. And while the legislation appears to only cover criminal court matters, it’s also a small notch on the collective belts of counties struggling to navigate these ever-shrinking slices of the budgetary pie — especially those in the Adirondack Park, where we’re also handicapped by drastic reductions in sales and motor fuel tax. The bill awaits Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s signature. He should do the right thing and sign it. As someone who as positioned the state to be a progressive powerhouse, it seems like the next logical step. But that political jockeying also has to be paired with the economic realities on the ground, which continue to be shaky. Signing the bill will help stabilize the ship.

RunÊ forÊ JonÊ setÊ forÊ Aug.Ê 27 To the Editor: Saturday, Aug. 27 at 5 p.m. you all can have some great family fun, get some exercise and support a truly important cause. The Run For Jon, at Forrence Orchards on the Mannix Road in Peru, is a wonderful community event celebrating its 26th year helping families who have children with serious medical needs. The event started out as an effort to help the family of Jonathan Evans, who died of cancer after a long struggle, deal with the overwhelming expenses associated with their son’s care. The Evans family and many volunteers have continued the event to assist other families in similar circumstances. Each year we draw hundreds of spectators and participants of all ages: running, walking or pushing baby joggers. We have, over the 26 years of this event, literally raised tens of thousands of dollars for these deserving and needy families. Last year’s race raised $4500.
A
Anyone can participate. There is a kids fun run, a 1.25 walk and a 2.5 mile cross country race. The 2.5 mile run is a really great race, sanctioned by USA Track and Field. The course is challenging and beautiful. Some past participants have gone on to the Olympics, national rankings and state championships. There are team, baby jogger and individual awards. There are numerous door prizes for participants. We hope to see you for this important, and fun, community event. Registration begins at 3:30 p.m. Due to health regulations, pets are strictly prohibited from the site. For information about the Run For Jon, contact Matt Mederos at 524-1269, the Evans family at 643-2414 or visit the runforjon.com website for entry forms, photos, background information and to purchase Run For Jon dry-fit t-shirts. See you there! Rod Driscoll Peru
ENDORSEMENT POLICY
s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-
dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75. A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
OhÊ no,Ê Joe! To the Editor: You got it all wrong again. From 1931 to 1934, the Nazi party was under the leadership of Adolf Hitler and perpetuated their lies over and over and over until the people believed them, and in 1934 they had the power to arrest all affiliated with the Communist Party and the true Nazi plan was unveiled. Now comparing Donald Trump to Hitler and his lies doesn’t hold water! On the other hand, Joe, if we are looking for liars, hold on: Oh no Joe, I didn’t have sex with that woman? Oh no Joe, if you like your doctor you can keep your Doctor? Oh no Joe, I did not have classified information on my emails? Joe, I could go on all day with the lists of lies each of these Democratic leaders have abused you with. They believe the voters in America have been dumbed down to a point they can say anything and get away with it! Joe, switch sides and help elect Donald Trump our next President. God Bless America, Ed’s note: This is in response to Joe DeMarco’s letter that appeared in the Aug. 6 edition. Bert Windle Putnam
Boyce:Ê TiÊ AlumniÊ AssociationÊ hasÊ raisedÊ $170k To the Editor: On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Ticonderoga Alumni Association, I want to express my thanks to all the sponsors, golfers, volunteers and Country Club staff who, once again, made the Alumni Tournament such a success. Starting with the Ticonderoga High School Class of 2006, the Alumni Association has made $170,000 available to over 400 graduates attending colleges, tech schools or entering the military. We can only provide this support with help of a great community of businesses and organizations, caring alumni, and generous individuals who believe in the Association’s mission. This year’s golf tournament proves once again that “it’s great to be a Sentinel!” Steve Boyce Ticonderoga
TiÊ HistoricalÊ Society:Ê ThanksÊ forÊ yourÊ support!Ê To the Editor: In a historic town such as Ticonderoga, it is easy to take history for granted. This past weekend, the Historical Society hosted its Irish Historic Celebration, a full day of living history, talks, exhibits, programs and of course, great music. Yes, on the single summer weekend in which we have had great rainstorms, we hosted an outdoor event. And it was wonderful — due in large part to the efforts of our board of trustees and remarkable volunteers. We would like to publicly thank Eric and Jessica Stoddard, Colleen Bessette, Matt Pulling, Matt Connery, Esther Massett, Libby’s Bakery Cafe, Hot Buscuit Diner, Bodette’s Barbecue, Battle Hill Brewing, the Loose Monkey Band and the local residents as well as those who traveled from New Jersey and Vermont to form our cadre of living historians. See you all next year! William G. Dolback Ticonderoga
Fenimore:Ê Ô IÊ trustÊ myÊ bigotedÊ screedÊ isÊ clearÕ To the Editor: (In response to “The end of our republic? Give me a break,” by Bob Segall, published in the July 30 edition of the Valley News Sun.) I’ll never understand the need for liberals to discredit the messenger rather than debate the message, but since Bob Segall of Upper Jay uses that timeless Democrat approach in the July 30 Valley Sun, I guess I’ll respond. Let me assure you Bob that I’m quite unlike Sen. Joe McCarthy and Adolf Hitler. I’ve never suggested that opponents be locked up or sent to death camps, nor is my July 23 Valley Sun letter hate speech. The events I mentioned are happening, I only speculate on what it might lead to, and for the record Bob, I did not say this would be the end of our republic. I said “transform our republic of America into something else.” Obama made jokes about the end of our republic, not me. However, my “spewing of thinly veiled bigoted screeds” as you put it, was not intended to be thinly veiled at all. I’d hoped to be obvious. My intolerance (bigotry) of deceitful politicians such as President Obama and Hillary Clinton is absolute and I intended my comments to reflect complete disdain for them. I can forgive incompetence, but not the lies. Even now Hillary Clinton lies about FBI Director James Comey’s comments regarding her previous lies. She continues to lie about Benghazi in spite of contradictory emails and video statements made by her. This is serial lying. I’m also intolerant of the State Dept. being used to fund raise for the Clinton Foundation, anarchists burning and looting in our streets, our police being assassinated, and Obama telling us that most of us won’t be killed by terrorists. Most of us? I trust my bigoted screed is clear and no longer
COMMENTARY thinly veiled. My concerns are with the actions of Obama and Clinton over the last seven years who, in Bob’s words, have made occasional mistakes and have been ineffective. I think it’s much worse than that and I hope for someone better. It’s unknown if Trump is that person, clearly Hillary Clinton is not. Hillary Clinton proudly said during the Democratic National Convention that she’s a real deal progressive and seeks change. If elected, she will be making Supreme Court nominations. I hope Americans understand the result of a progressive liberal administration working with a like minded Supreme Court majority since progressive liberalism and our Constitution are incompatible. We need to think about what America will become without a working constitution to keep a progressive liberal government in check? This presidential election truly matters. Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown
Rep.Ê StefanikÊ needsÊ toÊ putÊ principleÊ overÊ politics To the Editor: I disagree with your Aug. 13 editorial insofar as Rep. Elise Stefanik needs to do more than forcefully speak out against Donald Trump’s toxicity: she needs to put principle over politics and announce she will not vote for him. I’m not a one issue voter, but I question the representation of Rep. Stefanik who introduced a resolution to address the “global threat of climate change” yet is tacitly standing by Donald Trump who believes global warming to be a “total hoax” and wants to abolish the EPA and scrap clean energy policy. How can supporting your party’s nominee be more important than standing up for principle and what you believe is needed to protect future generations? Bob Hunter Lake Placid
LocalsÊ lovedÊ AnnualÊ EssexÊ Day To the Editor: Everyone who lives in or around Essex looks forward to the first Saturday in August. This year marked the 37th annual Downtown Essex Day, which was advertised as a “rain or shine” event. We had both! Sunny skies prevailed until 2 p.m. when a rapid storm dumped an inch of rain on the town. I saw dozens of vendors and shoppers huddled under canopies and folks just enjoying the drenching while walking barefoot down the sidewalk. The rain was soon gone and those who were left continued selling and buying. Overall it was a great day and I’d like to say “thank you” to the following people for helping “Essex Initiatives” with this event: Steve Fletcher for set-up and take down, Tom and MaryAnn Mangano for publicity, Donald Christian for traffic control, Essex Fire Department for lending caution cones, Essex Town officials for letting vendors use the town hall lawn, LCTC for offering half-price walk-on tickets for two hours, and especially all residents and businesses who participated and were happy to share their lawns, parking, and driveways with exhibitors and shoppers on this one crazy, fun day per year! We look forward to next year! Donna Lou Sonnett, Essex Day Chair
TrumpÊ bornÊ intoÊ silverÊ spoonÊ society To the Editor: Donald Trump can not articulate himself in a sentence without using a nasty word. He states that a prisoner of war is not a hero. Mr. Trump, you speak out of your ear. But may I ask you: have you ever been in the armed forces? Have you ever been in war? Have you ever been in a prisoner of war camp, where our heroes slept on straw — lice-filled and vermin-laden — and on slabs of wood, or on cement floor? I had the sad privilege to go to one in the Red Cross. After 60 years, I still have nightmares. You, Mr. Trump, were born into a silver spoon society, spoiled to be a narcissistic, egotist individual. No, you will not make the cut. The U.S. can’t afford to trust you with the nuclear codes.

The realities of Trump Columnist: Sun Board showing liberal bias Kenneth Salamon
Columnist
I
t is interesting that in its liberal attempt at lecturing a congresswoman, the Sun Editorial Board chose to open with a seeming celebration of freedom and diversity in its opinion editorial (Aug. 13, 2016) by highlighting an Olympic athlete wearing a hijab. In the Muslim world this is not an expression of diversity, and in fact, represents the opposite, oppression. It is a symbol of the fact that women of Islam are second class citizens and have no freedom of choice regarding what they wear or do. This attempt at a politically correct tribute undermines the rest of the absurd premise that Rep. Stefanik should denounce Trump because of what the liberal media call his ‘hate speech’ and lack of values (read political correctness). Granted, Trump is no silver tongued devil in extemporaneous speech, but there is always a supportive basis in reality underlying his comments. Behind Trump’s often over-thetop rhetoric, such as building a wall/deporting illegals, temporarily banning Muslim refugees, that Obama/Clinton ‘founded’ ISIS, or Clinton lies, are realities such as the fact that illegal immigrants (illegal by definition) do commit crime; every terrorist attack around the world since 911 has been committed by Muslims; Obama/Clinton did create the vacuum which allowed ISIS to develop; or that Clinton is a pathological liar (video spurred Bengazi attack, FBI email investigation, dead-broke leaving the White House, running under rifle fire in Bosnia, etc.). There is no question Trump could say some things differently (or not at all), but the point is he is highlighting issues that need attention, not falling in line behind some lemming-like political correctness narrative, telling people what they want to hear and offending not even the tiniest minority even if it denigrates our founders principals. Rep. Stefanik should not denounce Trump, but should support him as her party’s nominee, disagreeing with him where appropriate for her. It is not for the Sun Board to be dictating what they think her position should be, nor cherry picking and disparaging other Republicans based on whether they ascribe to your liberal bias or not. Hopefully she will be independent minded enough and not cave to such absurd commentary for fear that is what the ‘people’ really want. If the Board feels compelled to lecture our elected representatives, how about an editorial about a democratic nominee who lies with impunity, is as scripted as a play, has no principals and changes color chameleon-like depending on who she is trying to impress. Let’s see an editorial recommending that Shumer denounce her for lack of these values.

From page 1 “But he didn’t check anyone else’s ID in the whole restaurant,” Codner recalled. A pal reached for his identification. “Oh, don’t worry — I’ll let you finish up your chicken because we know how much you guys like your fried chicken,” Codner recalled the bouncer as saying. Codner is black, as were two other members of their party. One was a Pacific Islander, and three others were white. The bouncer, according to Codner, went on to pepper the group with a series of racial stereotypes: “We know how much you guys like fried chicken, orange soda, watermelon, Kool-Aid and white girls,” Codner recalled. The group brushed it off as a callous remark, and the bouncer later apologized after being verbally confronted, Codner said. But moments later, another party’s dispute surrounding a tip led to their ejection despite not being directly involved. Codner, who lives in Kissimmee, Florida, recalled a second incident that came on the heels of highly publicized shootings in Dallas and Minneapolis last month. During a shopping trip to the Ticonderoga Walmart, Codner said a member of his party was followed around the store by a white male hurling racial epithets. The situation nearly came to a head before Codner and a Walmart employee defused the situation. But, he said, his group was asked to leave — not the perpetrator. “I’m going to need you guys to leave so we can calm down the white guy,” Codner recalled the employee as saying. “It’s not logical to escort the victims out — not the aggressor,” Codner said. The incidents, said Codner, left a bad taste in his mouth and had him rattled, especially considering they came at a time when the country was still raw over the latest act of policerelated violence. “With everything going on, of course, I’m amped up,” Codner said. “Everyone’s dying, everyone’s getting shot around America right now, and then this happens. Literally, the day of... like back to back. Then this happens.” Walmart said they are aware of the incident. “The experience Mr. Codner had with another shopper in our store is something no one should ever have to go through,” said Leslee Wright, a senior Walmart spokesperson. “We value each of our customers and want everyone to be treated with respect while they are in our stores or anywhere in the community.” The owner of the bar did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Miss Crime Scene will perform at ROTA Studio and Gallery’s “Invasion From Across the Pond” drag event on Aug. 27.

FOSTERING POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS Codner relayed his experiences as a way to frame conversation at last week’s Adirondack Diversity Advisory Council (ADAC) symposium, an annual workshop designed to foster dialogue in the Adirondack Park. The ADAC, a coalition of community, environmental and business leaders, says in this era of shifting demographics, the future of local communities is directly tied to building a more welcoming Adirondack Park. That can include, for instance, targeted tourism marketing efforts. It can include creating new museum exhibits and galleries that appeal to a wide variety of multicultural backgrounds. Or it can include small gestures, like placing equality stickers on storefront windows. All of the above, organizers say, will not only position business owners to adapt to a broader market, but also sends a strong signal that everyone is welcome in a region that hasn’t historically been known as a melting pot. The main goal of the third installment of the event was designed to simply foster a conversation, said Paul Hai, an ADAC coalition member. “This is a starting point,” Hai said. ADAC Coordinator Pete Nelson said he was sensitive to the fact that “just talking isn’t enough.” But, he said, the group has made headway in just a few years, with the foundation of a number of marketing programs and young professionals groups in the region. Saturday’s day-long event, held at the Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb, featured a series of panel discussions, including a session that had museum directors, company executives and nonprofit leaders sound off on the economic impacts of diversity. “People only care about what they know about,” said Kate Fish, executive director of the Adirondack North Country Association, following a lengthy discussion on how to make museum exhibits more appealing to minorities, including the North Star Underground Railroad Museum in Ausable Chasm. “If they don’t connect to what we’re offering, then they leave,” said Don Papson, the museum’s founding president. One solution to broaden their appeal, he said, is to develop exhibits showcasing underground railroads from around the world and pair them with translated materials. “Whenever people are oppressed in the world, there is an underground railroad.” ‘COMPARATIVE DISADVANTAGE’ The event brought in some heavy-duty firepower, including Professor Wallace Ford, chair of the Public Administration Department at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn. The U.S. is put at a competitive disadvantage if a significant
part of the country is not participating in the development of the country — and that includes the Adirondack Park, Ford said. The emergence of minority and women-owned business enterprise programs helped bring more diverse voices to the table in New York City in the 1990s, Ford said, voices that were previously underrepresented. The professor and radio host urged the group to fuse their ideas to tangible plans. “Education and outreach are extremely important,” Ford said. “You are good people, you are already doing something. But the challenge is to do more.” Ford offered to be a point person for minority outreach efforts in New York City. But, he said, the ADAC must create an action plan to push that goal forward. Sierra Club President Aaron Mair spoke at length about how environmental issues often disproportionately affect minorities. Mair led an effort in the early 1990s to shut down a solid waste incinerator in Albany, a facility that he said spewed “black snowflakes” that led to health issues in the inner city community with a predominantly minority population. “Right now, we need to diversify or die,” Mair said. “In the Adirondacks, this conversation is a microcosm of the conversations that are going on nationwide.” ‘THIS CHOIR NEEDS TO SING’ Mair stood up after Codner, the counselor, shared his stories. “This was a clear case of blatant racism,” he said. “Every single doorpost in the business circle needs to be painted with this. “This choir needs to sing.” ADAC plans on taking action to address the incidents, said Pete Nelson, a coordinator with the group. “We will be contacting Walmart, we will be contacting the Ticonderoga and Lake George Chambers of Commerce, we will be contacting local and state police departments to describe the incident, to say that we’re aware of it,” Nelson said. The group plans to offer diversity sensitivity training and host listening sessions in each community. Education is key, Nelson said, because people are often unaware of what constitutes insensitive behavior. “We have to start a conversation and start giving people a chance to understand what it is that they don’t know,” Nelson said. Ford said people are inherently good, and he was willing to accept the incidents faced by the camp counselors were anomalies. But, he said, quoting the philosopher Edmund Burke, “Evil can only happen when good people do nothing.”

Bee business From page 1
He learned how each part of the beehive works, with 10 frames, each made with a beeswax and wire. “But we only use nine. With 10, the bees are too tight.” The frames slip in and out of slots in the top, providing a base for honey bees to build their own hive to protect the queen The queen bee lives deep inside the lowermost frame, and away from honey-collecting. Seth and his grandmother have four hives currently in operation. Bees do get mad when keepers start to disassemble the hive to harvest honey. It’s a mad kind of buzzing noise, Seth says. But the boy and his grandmother use smudge pots with pine wood to settle them. “You puff it into the beehive and it makes them go deeper into the hive,” Dubay said. “It puts them into sleep mode,” Seth said. When they open the hive and take out the honey and beeswax laden frame, they must be careful to not let the queen out. “She will fly off and find a new hive and all the bees would go with her,” Seth said. Frames laden with fresh honey are put in a hand-cranked spinner, like a pail, that holds two frames at a time, the beekeepers explained. After it is spun, honey is strained to get any wax debris out before placing it in jars. The honey-collecting frames are separated from the queen’s lair below by a special grate called a “queen excluder,” Seth said, so there are no larvae or emerging bees in the honey they harvest. “She can’t get through there to lay any eggs,” Seth said. Seth and his grandmother harvest honey once a year, in September. But they don’t take it all. “They have honey all year round, and they need two boxes full to get through winter,” the young beekeeper said. In winter, honey bees do hibernate, but the worker bees cluster around the queen to keep her warm. “The hives stay around 92 degrees even in winter,” Dubay said. Last year, the newly named enterprise, Bushey’s Bees, produced three gallons of honey, along with honey butter, creamed honey and honeycomb. “I put it for sale online and it was gone within an hour,” Dubay said. The family’s effort also has much larger benefits to area farms. “We’ve have been asked to put hives on farms. I don’t know if we’ll get to that point, but we probably will,” Dubay said. Raised on Asgaard Farm in Jay when it was owned by Rockwell Kent, Dubay is the daughter of Ulysses “Tink” and Gladys Emerson, who managed the farming operation for Mr. and Mrs. Kent. “My father knew how important they were to the farm,” Dubay said. “He would ‘line bees,’” she said of an old tradition. “He would watch when they left, full of pollen, because they fly directly back to the hive. They make a ‘bee line,’ that’s where the saying comes from,” Dubay said. The AuSable Echoes 4-H project and its blue-ribbon win provide an ongoing bee line between generations. For now, it’s enough to learn and keep the bees, Dubay said. “4-H is one of the best things kids can get involved in, as a family, as an individual. And we get to do things together,” she said of her grandson. Seth said it is a fascinating occupation, and well worth the effort. “I would suggest, before someone gets bees and all of the supplies, that they think about it: is this a business or is it a hobby? And do the research. Plus YouTube is a useful resource.”
