County, state assess cost of armed guards

Mountain bike crowds join forces

State Senate, Assembly moving legislation to help fund school resource oﬃcers

Wilmington, Elizabethtown see closer connections

By Kim Dedam

STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County lawmakers discussed tentative steps to add School Resource Officers (SROs) in all 11 school districts in Essex County. The issue of adding a police officer was also raised at recent school board meetings, including the August session at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School. County Manager Dan Palmer said any cost to the county has to be balanced against the budget. There are 15 school buildings for 18 towns in Essex County. “It may be possible on a part-time basis,” Palmer said.

COSTS DEBATED

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, who is chairman of the Board of Supervisor’ Finance Committee, said current state legislation requires an SRO to be active duty, employed with a police agency. » Armed guards Cont. on pg. 14

ELIZABETHTOWN | Barkeater Trail Alliance (BETA) in Wilmington and the mountain bike crowd in Elizabethtown joined forces this summer to put their hard work on one, big regional map. With thousands of hours of work put into them, trails were built with purpose and respect mostly by volunteers: part quest, part challenge, part celebration. Jeff Allott, who owns Otis Mountain, has helped define trail development at Otis and at Blueberry Hill. And he is building bikes in one of his new ventures, Solace Cycles. The technology adapts to fit individual technique. » Mtn. bike Cont. on pg. 8

Vet’s decision to cut hours rankles pet owners Adirondack Veterinary Hospital faces blowback from clientele By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WESTPORT | Adirondack Veterinary Hospital will reduce their weekend hours. Beginning Sept. 1, the clinic will be open

every other Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. After hours emergency service for small animals will be available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays only, said the clinic last week. Patients are being directed to Burlington Emergency & Veterinary Specialists in Williston, Vermont or the Northway Animal Emergency Clinic in Gansevoort New York for emergency services. “We are confident that you will receive expert and compassionate care at either of these facilities that specialize in emergency care,” said

Adirondack Veterinary Hospital in a statement.

PUBLIC UPSET

But the changes have rankled pet owners upset over the lack of services for animal care in the rural area. Comments quickly flowed into the Adirondack Veterinary Hospital’s Facebook page. “I’m sure we will receive compassionate and competent care,” wrote Ricka Maye. “But when time is a factor in an emergency, this really makes me cringe knowing this is my vet clinic and these are now our options in our remote location.” Donna Allport Hahn called the change “unacceptable.” “An emergency can not be scheduled,” Hahn wrote. “Your pet may die in en-route to other facility. Where are the vets who actually care about our pets and go above and beyond?” Steve Feinbloom said, “It feels much more like veterinary care is a commodity instead of an essential community service and that’s not a good feeling.” Several pet owners suggested they would take

their animals elsewhere, even suggesting a boycott. “We need to organize a boycott of routine services until they reconsider,” wrote David Johnston in a since-removed post on the “What’s Happening in Westport” Facebook page. “They only care about money.” The cutbacks could mean a matter of life and death in critical cases, acknowledged North Country SPCA Board Chairman Wendy Beeman. “Our animal’s welfare is a shared commitment,” Beeman told The Sun. “We’re concerned about the close availability of services in case of emergencies. We truly hope we can work out a solution for our animals and those of our community.” Adirondack Veterinary Hospital changed ownership in 2014 when Plattsburgh Animal Hospital acquired the Westport Veterinary Hospital and Adirondack Veterinary Hospital, merging the two locations. Adirondack Veterinary Hospital Director of Operations Mark LaFountain declined to speak at length about the proposed changes, but said just two veterinarians are available. » Adk veterinary Cont. on pg. 5

‘Otis Mountain Get Down’ sells out Sixth-annual music festival boasts eccentric line-up — with some secret surprises By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | If you wanted to get a ticket to this year’s Otis Mountain Get Down, you’re out of luck. Tickets to the sixth-annual music festival, held in the mountains just outside of Elizabethtown’s main strip, sold out in record time this year. “We’re completely sold out as of this week,

This year’s Otis Mountain Get Down is expected to bring 3,000 people to Elizabethtown for a jam-packed weekend of live performances, art and food. Photo provided/Otis Mountain Get Down

which is the earliest we’ve ever sold out,” Quillan George, Otis’ co-founder and talent buyer, told The Sun last Friday. Tickets to the festival are notoriously in-demand, selling out the past three years in a row, and George said that organizers are planning to cap the www.tfcunow.com attendance at this level in the future to maintain a comfortable capacity for everyone. “We’re expecting approximately 3,000 people,” he said. That dwarfs the population of the entire town — around 1,127 in 2016, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Tickets will not be available on-site. The secret to the festival’s success may lie in its diverse, eccentric line-up — boasting local and international acts across a vast spectrum of genres and influences. So who’s who at this year’s festival? “Topaz Jones is someone I’m really looking forward to seeing,” said George. Jones, a New Jersey-born hip-hop powerhouse who lays out lyrics as if laying out a beach towel, with a choppy tide of funkinfused beats stretching toward shore. > CompetitiveLoanRates > Apply for LoansOnline His music is wholly unique, though strong influences shine through — the overall effect an ear-catching concoction of familiarity and experimentation. “He’s bringing large an eight-piece hip-hop band stacked with talented players,” George said. “That’s something a little outstanding from shows we’ve seen before.” Butcher Brown, a jam-jazz troupe hailing from Virginia, will bring the future to Otis Mountain. “They’re a really progressive jazz group,” George said. “They’ve got the classic influence, but they’re moving toward the future of what jazz music is and what it’s becoming.” Sam Moss, a finger-picking folksinger favorite from last year, is returning again for show, as is funk-reggae troupe Mosaic NOWSERVING thecounties of Essex, Washington, Warren, Clinton another Foundation and singer-songwriter Jake Klar. andFranklin in NewYorkandAddison Countyin Vermont. Across the festival’s three-day span — kicking off on Sept. 7 in the afternoon at Otis Mountain and wrapping up the morning of Sept. 9 — 37 artists are slated to perform.

to see not only those shows, but intimate, impromptu sets by artists throughout the weekend. “It’s something that’s really been particularly special both for attendees and artists,” George said. New this year are the Otis Mountain Comedy Showcase, a “story studio” with the Adirondack Center for Writing, an Indian Taal drumming workshop, and a screenprinting workshop with the Iskra Collective. Yoga, mountain bike rides, guided hikes and more are also planned. As with last year, a number of local and Vermont-based vendors will be on site: Miso Hungry with authentic Japanese ramen; Mach’s Wood Fired Pizza; Dubb’s BBQ ; Caja Madera, with tacos and Mexican fare; Vermont’s Pingala, serving up Vegan and Vegetarian food; the Crown Point Bread Company; Root Juice with farm-to-cup smoothies; Nobl Coffee and Origin Coffee Co. ■

Sun Community News reconﬁgures press room New printing presses to enhance quality, eﬃciency

ELIZABETHTOWN | Sun Community News and Printing has made significant changes to the configuration of its press room. The changes have been made to allow for future expansion of its printing capabilities. The press room, located at the Sun Community News and Printing offices in Elizabethtown, contains a 17-unit Goss community press for both color and black and white printing. The press is currently able to accommodate up to 24 pages of color on each section. Additionally, the press room contains two automated folding machines that cut, score and fold each newspaper as it is printed. The changes to the press room involved moving a number of these units which are 8 feet high, 5 feet wide and weighing approximately 7,500 pounds. Sun Community News and Printing hired a firm that specializes in moving heavy and sensitive machinery to manage the process. According to Production Manager Bill Coats, the press units are assembled in a straight line with some stacked on top of others. Complicating matters, printing presses are typically bolted to the floor and then cemented in place to ensure that there is no movement as the press is running because any movement can lead to printing that is blurry or otherwise unclear. Th is makes them incredibly stable, but difficult to move. “Five units needed to be disassembled from the line, lifted out of position and moved to their new places in the line. It was actually quite a production,” Coats said. “We used heavy equipment and moved the units very, very slowly and very, very carefully.” According to Coats, the crew needed to jackhammer the floor surrounding the

Sun Community News and Printing has made strides toward expanded printing capability with the installation of new printing presses which will ensure better print quality. press units and cut the bolts so that the units could be moved with a forklift “Then the 7,500 pound units needed to be carefully and perfectly repositioned, stacked, bolted and cemented into place,” he said. The change was completed to pave the way for other upgrades to the press, said Publisher Dan Alexander. “We have made some significant changes to the way our press units are configured,” Alexander said. “We purchased two newer units and we are planning to move one of our folding units so that we will be able to produce multiple jobs at a time.” The company has also upgraded the system that delivers ink to the papers. This new system allows press operators to enter codes on the printing press so that the perfect amount of ink is distributed. “After we moved the units, we also made changes to enhance color consistency, improve efficiency and reduce waste,” Alexander said. “Sun Community News readers will notice improvements to the overall quality

and consistency of the newspapers.” The press room reconfiguration and color capability upgrade are the initial steps in a comprehensive printing press upgrade. Later this summer, Sun Community News and Printing will install a computer system that automates the function of creating page templates before printing takes place. “The final component of the press upgrade is to automate the functions that take place between the design phase and the printing phase of the newspapers,” said Alexander. “Those functions include color correction, pagination, building the templates and developing the printing plates that are used by the printing press.” Each of the changes have been implemented to ensure better print quality while reducing waste, saving time and making it an easier process for press operators. “We are really excited about the improvements and how these changes will improve our capabilities into the future,” said Alexander. “It’s an exciting time.” ■

Dr. Erik Eaglefeather, owner of Eagle’s Nest Veterinary Hospital in Plattsburgh and Champlain, said he was unaware of Adirondack Veterinary Hospital’s decision to reduce hours. But the veterinary industry can be difficult, he said, speaking generally and without knowledge of Adirondack Veterinary Hospital. “Th e issue with emergencies is there are fewer and fewer people doing emergency medicine these days,” Eaglefeather told The Sun. Clinics have historically provided after-hours services, he said, which can range from dogs with impacted toenails; pets who have ingested poison or those who have been struck by a motor vehicle. But that has changed significantly over the years with the advent of specialty emergency hospitals. Clinics who do provide emergency services have increasingly become the go-to agency for other hospitals who didn’t want to provide that service, he said, which can lead to a heavy workload. “It’s expensive to provide; it’s time demanding for doctors that provide it, and intrudes into doctors’ private lives,” said Eaglefeather, who noted he would be on-call all weekend. Oftentimes rural practices have difficulty attracting talent due to quality of life issues, he said. “It’s become a challenge to provide services everyone wants and keep costs so that everyone can afford,” he said. Eaglefeather advised pet owners seeking care elsewhere that many clinics require people to be regular patients in order to provide emergency services — including his clinic. Alternatively, patients may want to research facilities that have 24-7 emergency room care or standalone facilities. He acknowledged the situation is difficult for all parties. “There will be frustrations because they won’t be able to be seen at these other facilities if they’re not already patients,” he said. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Is a united country in our future?

I’ve received a number of emails from last week’s column and have had several discussions with folks By Dan Alexander from both sides of the • PUBLISHER • aisle who recognize that what is going on in our political psyche these days isn’t in anyone’s best interest. Will impeaching the president satisfy the angry crowd, or will it only make matters worse as those who support him take to the streets seeking their own form of retribution? It’s pretty obvious neither side is doing much to tamp down the anger, so we can only assume things will get far worse before they get better. So why do we need to go down this road when most people seem to realize no matter how far we go, it’s only leading us down a dead-end street? Sooner or later, we’ll need to return to a more united country. So what’s the answer? Independent leaders who have no party aﬃliation? Clearly, without one of the two main parties behind a candidate, they will never get enough traction to be taken seriously, and sadly neither party has shown a willingness to resolve some of the issues that feed out of control partisanship. Our forefathers’ anticipated such destructive behavior and established a procedure to address these issues in Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The convening of a convention of the states, called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures. The mere discussion of such a convention of state delegates strikes fear into the heart of Washington. In part, because the only other constitutional convention in U.S. history — the one in 1787 that produced the current U. S. Constitution — went far beyond its mandate, Congress and the states have never mustered enough support to call another one. Such a move would send shockwaves around the globe, but this nation was founded on the belief that the citizens of this free country should hold the power, not the aristocrats who hold serve at the federal level today. They continue to place their interests and those of their parties before their constituents. The solution to our discourse will never be easily solved, but continuing on the present course oﬀers little remedy for a truly democratic process. Article V is certainly a better alternative than civil unrest in the streets that we are already seeing on a growing scale today. ■

Letters

Republicans obstruct themselves

To the Editor: Editor’s note: The following is in response to George King’s letter, “Dems hijacked by radical left” which appeared in the Aug. 11 edition of The Sun. George, I realize that your letter is a quick reaction to John O’Neill’s letter about the Republican takeover by the extreme right, but the idea that the Democrats have been taken over by the extreme left is actually funny. There are some who lean more left but hardly merit the title radical. And, if you do not think that the Congress has been cowed by Trump and those who choose to use him for the extreme right agenda, I am not going to argue with you, it’s obvious everywhere except on Fox News. Obama had a veto-proof majority for exactly three months out of 48. Just three! He chose to make medical insurance the top priority, which any sensible person would agree was/is of the utmost importance, and succeeded. Which is not to belittle the predicament of Social Security. The idea that the Democrats are obstructionist as they vote in reaction to retrograde policies put forward in a Congress totally controlled by Republicans is a bit off base. What the Republicans don’t get done is due to the obstruction within their own party. On the other hand, Mitch McConnell and many other Republicans declared publicly that they would kill anything that Obama was in favor of. Anything — and they did. Trump has had free reign with his cabinet appointees and they are not only riddled with graft, but they are mostly contrarian to the objectives of the departments they

Tupper Lake is a hidden gem of the Tri-Lakes

To the Editor: I cannot keep the secret any longer! There is a hidden gem in the Tri-Lakes area. That gem is Tupper Lake! I have lived in Tupper Lake for nearly one year and I continue to be amazed at what this seemingly sleepy village offers: abundant picturesque waterways, a rail trail, a restored train depot, exercise and yoga classes, energy healing services, varied and delicious restaurants, chaga tea and a movie theatre (where you even get to vote for what movies you would like to see)! The residents are friendly and courteous and quiet. I am not a beer drinker, but I hear the local breweries are fabulous. Oh, and I forgot to mention the Tupper Triad, a three-mountain local challenge that includes terrific 360-views and a fire tower! There is a Buddhist mantra that says, “The jewel is in the locust” which means wisdom and compassion lie within. I paraphrase that and say, “Tupper Lake is the gem within the Tri-Lakes.” I am so glad I live here! - Jackie Beattie, Tupper Lake ■

Stefanik not as transparent as she claims

To the Editor: Elise Stefanik’s latest campaign ad warns New York’s 21st Congressional District voters about the comments of her opponent recorded undercover by a teenager who was compensated for his video. The ad then goes on to tout Elise’s transparency and all the good she has done for our district. I guess Elise’s definition of transparency is misleading voters for weeks leading up to the vote repealing the Affordable Care Act including right up to the time she was working as a whip lining up the votes. Check out CSPAN for Elise’s transparency in action. My wife called Elise’s office every hour that day trying to get an answer on how Elise was voting. While she was being told Elise was still reading the bill, I was watching CSPAN while the vote was underway and there was Elise serving as one of the speaker’s whips, moving the vote to repeal the ACA, taking healthcare away from 64,000 constituents. Elise, I may have been born at night but I wasn’t born last night. Do you really expect us to believe that you had reservations about voting to repeal the ACA? For seven years, all we heard from Republicans was repeal and replace. There is no way your mentor, Paul Ryan, was going to give you a pass on this vote. As a cancer survivor, thanks for voting to bring back exclusions for preexisting conditions and lifetime caps on how much an insurance company will pay.

How to spot Champ

To the Editor: We often read of claimed sightings of Champ in Lake Champlain. See “Big Week for Champ” Aug. 25 edition. But are they real? Where’s the proof? Actually, it’s really easy to spot Champ. All you need is the right equipment and motivation. Now I am not talking about exotic or expensive equipment, just stuff we all have sitting in the garage, gathering dust. Here is a list. Equipment: 1. A beach chair. 2. A cooler. 3. One tube of suntan lotion. 4. 10 pounds of ice. 5. A case of your favorite beer, preferably in cans! Methodology: 1. Fill the cooler with the ice and the case of beer. (Yes, you need at least 24 cans of beer). Fortunately, the brand of beer is not significant. 2. Go to the beach by 10 a.m.; OK, by 11 a.m. for sure. 3. Apply suntan lotion. 4. Set up the beach chair. Make sure you have an unobstructed view of Lake Champlain. 5. Start drinking the beer. Somewhere between the 20th and the 22nd can of beer, you will spot Champ. If you do not spot Champ by the 24th can of beer, it is clear that you have somehow not carefully followed the methodology. I suggest you wait a week and retry the experiment. Perhaps you have not correctly applied the suntan lotion. - Michael Berman, Schroon Lake ■

Dems need to win House to preserve checks and balances

To the Editor: At periods of political crisis, the genius of the U.S. Constitution shines through. In the present circumstance, if one believes that checks and balances among the three parts of the federal government are crucial, then electing a Democratic Party majority in the House of Representatives is imperative. With Republicans controlling both the presidency and Congress (and in effect the Supreme Court, particularly if Judge Kavanaugh is approved), the abuses by President Trump will go unchecked. To protect Trump, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence closed down its investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 elections before all the evidence was in, blocking Democratic members’ requests to subpoena key witnesses. Then Chairman Nunes and the Republicans refused to invite the translator at the Trump/Putin private meeting in Helsinki to meet in secret session to tell what Trump agreed to with Putin. Rep. Elise Stefanik is on that committee

Obituaries

which historically has been a key point of Congressional oversight of the executive branch on matters of National Security. Indeed she is on the subcommittee on cyber security. However nice Rep. Stefanik may be, if she is re-elected, she will continue to vote with Republicans to control the organization of the House. The results: continued refusal to provide oversight of President Trump and his administration. She will continue to side with Trump’s agenda, which includes destroying the Affordable Care Act, limiting growth of Medicare and Medicaid, gutting environmental protections and cutting revenue for essential social services for low and middle income Americans, a step House GOP leaders justify to mitigate the dangerously growing deficits caused by Trump’s tax cut for the top one percent. To help restore checks and balances in this dangerous period, thoughtful Republicans and Independents need to vote in November for a Democratic Party majority in the House of Representatives. - Christopher N. Breiseth, Ticonderoga ■

State, federal reps have North Country interests at heart

To the Editor: I have watched with disgust the letters, editorials and turmoil in the news that oppose our duly elected officials and everything they are trying to accomplish simply out of party anguish. I would like to say I am proud to be in the districts that are represented by our local elected officials. I have seen and know that Sen. Betty Little, Assemblyman Dan Stec and Rep. Elise Stefanik all have the best interests of the North Country at heart and do not simply vote party lines. Their voices are heard as representing the best interest of their constituents. We have to remember though that all legislation are not simply “one issue” documents. All too often things are added to a positive bill that would not be passed otherwise. Unfortunately, in these cases, we trust our representatives to balance the good, the bad and the ugly and support the best outcome for everyone. I have seen the track records of these exemplary representatives, and I can say without hesitation, that if they say it, you can “take it to the bank” as an honest and straightforward response and in the best interests of us all. - Richard Cutting, Elizabethtown ■

Smokers have rights, too

To the Editor: Editor’s note: The following is in response to Eugene Ring’s letter, “‘Totally deplorable’ to remove veteran from park for smoking,” which appeared in the Aug. 11 edition of The Sun. I could not agree more with the sentiments expressed by Eugene Ring anent the removal of Army Major Ed Miller (because he was smoking a cigar in the park. In addition to his stellar service, he’s entitled — as are all cigar smokers — to some sort of fair and human treatment — especially in an open area of a park. Imagine all the things in a given park and all the people therein who offend others for a variety of reasons. Should we have a right to impose our distastes or dislikes for what they are doing or saying and also have them banned? A cigar smoker is entitled to some rights too. - Robert L. Geltzer, New York City ■

Life Flight saved my life

To the Editor: I went to the open house of Life Flight and had a great time. I would like people to know my story with them. Next month on the 19th, it will be six years. I had a brain aneurysm. I owe a lot to their service. If it wasn’t for Life Flight, I wouldn’t be here. I was in Saranac Lake Hospital and they called for the service to get me to Fletcher Allen. That ride saved my life. It’s very important to get needed medical attention so a big thank you to all those that dedicate their time and skills to what they do! - Larry T. Launderville. Ticonderoga ■

Shared values

To the Editor: Prescient may not be the right word, but it somehow feels right. Mr. Alexander’s Aug. 22, editorial bemoaned the loss of “shared values.” He expressed fear that “we’ve lost our way,” that the “enemy is now us.” But, his case in point hardly evidences the crisis that he laments. So, Andrew Cuomo believes that the nation’s failure to fully address historical inequalities impairs America’s claim to greatness. Cuomo simply proffers the counterpoint to Mr. Trump’s platitudinous “Make America Great Again” slogan. And, it is a fair point, if you question what the word “again” references, as some just and civic minded Americans might. And, to paraphrase Mr. Trump, there are some just and civic minded Americans on both sides. Equality is not just a left wing or liberal ideal, and we are not enemies when we agree. But, I began by attributing prescience to Mr. Alexander’s editorial; and so it is, coming shortly before the death of that great American hero, Sen. John McCain. Mr. Alexander’s editorial concludes most pointedly that “when any of us use words or actions that defame or deface those who’ve defended our nation with life and limb…then clearly we’ve lost far more than just our way.” If, as Mr. Alexander fears, more than just our way is being lost, it is perhaps because the nation follows a leader who defamed the heroic Senator McCain, while he himself is a coward. Mr. Alexander and The Sun’s readers will have an opportunity to hear and observe America’s truly shared values as Senator McCain is eulogized and his life is honored in repose at the Capital Rotunda and the National Cathedral. Trump will be absent. I submit that is a start on the right path. - Edward Pontacoloni, Lake George ■

Trump gets impeached. Then what?

To the Editor: OK liberal Democrats. Let’s say you’re successful in deposing our president. Then what? Assume a calm, low-impact transition to President Pence? You hate his Christian value-based ideology almost as much as Trump. Then what? President Ryan, President Hatch and down the presidential succession list through the cabinet? None of these Republicans meet your leftist social justice agenda, so you and the liberal media will have to begin taking them

down one by one until your uncompromising positions are achieved. Do you believe that any of this could be accomplished without impacting the national good? Look beyond the ridiculous tweets and stupid comments and you will find an economy, stock market, unemployment and GDP growth the best that it has been in decades; illegal immigration reduced, the military significantly strengthened, law enforcement respected again and the global world order revamped such that we are no longer being taken advantage of by first world nations in trade or by third world dictatorships and theocracies holding us hostage through threats of nuclear proliferation or terrorism. Most liberal Democrats will not agree with any of this and refuse to give Trump credit no matter what he does. Let’s revisit the “what then.” The stock market and the economic growth trend collapses, unemployment increases, North Korea and Iran resume nuclear ambitions while Russia and China make bids for world domination. Without ICE, illegal immigrants overwhelm cities creating unsustainable tax burdens. The national debt skyrockets again and socialism becomes an acceptable alternative. For what? To quote Hillary, “What difference does it make?” How about putting the nation first? Then, rather than letting the “what then” scenario play out, criticize as appropriate, but let the man do his job. If he hasn’t sufficiently benefited the American people by 2020, let the nation decide whether he should be replaced or not. - Kenneth Salamon, Minerva ■

Displeased with attacks on Trump

To the Editor: Once again, I find it necessary to point out the Sun Community News’ rules don’t seem to apply when our President Donald Trump is under attack. “Please keep it civil. Letters containing insults and name-calling will be rejected.” I challenge you, Mr. Editor, to review the following and make comment on the contents of same! The article “Stefanik ‘all-in’ on Trumpism” written by Frank Pagano, from Jay, contained the following, “who are comfortable with Trump’s incompetence, corruption, racism, corporatism, environmental degradation, nepotism, authoritarianism, etc.” Yes they are all big words and suggest Frank is well educated, also they appear to be spelled correctly, possible due to spell check but regardless I find it offensive and insulting and hold you the editor responsible for allowing such statements. The article “Disagrees with ‘cold logic’ letter” written by Richard Barney. Please get your facts in order, an illegal pregnant woman would not be turned away from an emergency room when in need, and all costs for delivery and care of a child, even if it was in need of long, long term care, you and I, if you pay taxes, will be picking up the tab, and it’s happening everyday across our nation! - Bert Windle, Putnam ■ Editor’s response: Frank Pagano’s letter did not violate Sun Community News’ rules for letters to the editor.

FORMING PARTNERSHIPS

When the Elizabethtown build-and-ride crew approached BETA, they were initially looking just for a place on the BETA trail map. “Which by default included their envelope,” Allott said. “We pulled together all of our GPS files to allow for that and created a great map that shows trails in Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Wilmington and Elizabethtown. We’ve formed a really nice partnership.” Artisans in Westport are cutting and scribing all the signs for the expanded BETA trail system now. “They’ll all have the same design.” Allott said attention from Bike Magazine in August and from riders outside the region predicts growing enthusiasm for Adirondack mountain bike trails. Bike technology is up to the task. Allott remembers tuning the first mountain bikes built in the 1980s. “We’re in that second bump now with biking. And this bump is a big one. It’s improved because the technology changed; you can ride better and on more terrain than you could 10 years ago,” Allott said. But not all trails are the same. Adirondack forests set their own courses, most without machines or man-made features. And the difference between machine-built versus hand-built trails isn’t so subtle. “We have one or two machine-built trails over here in E’town, because we had to,” Allott said of their system’s design. “But most trails in the Adirondacks are hand-built so mountain bike riders have to use the terrain. People like the ruggedness of the hand-cut trails, it becomes a much more

The web of trails in Wilmington is built off the hamlet center, so many trails start just beyond a motel door. But like Allott, McKeever sees forest bike trail development as organic. “Riding a mountain bike is like a deer running through the forest,” McKeever said. “A bike trail is a single track between 18 to 24 inches wide, you want it like a deer run, so you can follow the terrain and not alter

It’s not fully utilized yet, but when that day comes it’s going to be amazing,” Allott said. A similar expansion is happening on mostly state forest lands in Wilmington, with select connections in planning on private properties. Keith McKeever, a founding member of BETA, said the bond with Elizabethtown’s crew multiplied opportunity for hamlet-tohamlet recreation. “And we’re definitely psyched about that,” McKeever said.

BETA and Elizabethtown have created courses almost entirely with volunteer work crews. And they’re nearing critical mass. “With a funding push, we could definitely be an international destination within a two to five-year time frame,” McKeever said.

“Then, as we get this done, other places in the (Adirondack) park are going to see more mountain bikers coming in. They’d be able to come here and ride for three or four days staying right in these towns, the trailheads close to their door,” McKeever said. “It’s really key that the job get finished here.” BETA sees a big part of the last push in another 35 miles of trails planned in Saranac Lakes Wild Forest. Those can move forward once the Unit Management Plan is finalized and approved by state agencies. It would send BETA mountain bike trail options beyond 100 miles. At BETA, Executive Director Josh Wilson said trail potential in the Saranac Lakes Wild Forest was one of the reasons BETA formed in the first place. “We think it’s pretty close to being approved by the Adirondack Park Agency. It covers so much of the state land that’s available for mountain bike access between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. We started to work in Wilmington, in 2010, as model for single-track.” Although mountain bike routes in Wilmington are built in conjunction with DEC, the Adirondack identity and signature comes from community, Wilson said. Volunteers show up consistently. They heft hand tools to places where machines cannot go. “The real reason that this is happening is because it creates community. A lot of locals are getting into mountain bikes,” Wilson said. “It’s always been this regional effort, but each town has its own identity.” The BETA connection to Elizabethtown is venerable. » Mtn. bike Cont. on pg. 9

“We did recognize early on that one town isn’t going to have the density of trails to be a destination on its own, but when combined, they provide real opportunity,” Wilson said “We’re really poised to reach that reality. What’s proposed in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid would be the icing on the cake. “Really, what we’d love to see is a direct state investment in trail construction on state lands, so that we can employ work crews specific to mountain bike trails,” Wilson said. BETA uses funds they raise and grant proceeds when they can to hire a professional trail crew. Wilson said it was good progress this summer. “Certainly we can and we will continue to do all we can to develop and improve and expand the trail systems in all the towns. The question is how quickly does it happen?” BETA is looking to close a loop off Bonneville Road in Wilmington with a climb to a 3,000-foot summit view of the entire Flume trail system. At Otis and Blueberry, Allott and crew are looking to connect the trail systems through town and establish a bike ranch on private property next to Blueberry. Continued tech adaptation means some trails can be used all year long. So who knows how far recreation options here will reach. “We rode year-round at Otis and Blueberry last year,” Allott said of the shifting climate. People adapt, too. “If there is snow people stud the tires. If there’s a lot a snow, we fire up the (ski) lifts at Otis,” Allott said. “There’s no doubt trails here in the Adirondacks are different than anywhere else.” ■

BIKE MAGAZINE: Rugged Purity

Unified, the eastern Adirondack’s all-volunteer parties at BETA and in E’town got in-depth coverage from Bike Magazine in early August. The feature, “The garden of earthly delights: rugged purity meets hedonistic flow in the Adirondacks’ Eastern High Peaks,” was written by Jonathon Weber. His first-person sense of adventure captured an emerging sense of cohesion in trail systems here, evolved through what he calls “leave-no-trace” trail construction, a trait fast becoming the region’s mountain bike track signature. Weber and his film crew spent about a week touring and testing forest bike routes from Wilmington to Saranac Lake, from Lake Placid to Elizabethtown. Their journey found narrow, sinuous challenges on trails like The Ridge at the Flume Network in Wilmington, The Lussi and Logger trails in Lake Placid, The Cure in Saranac Lake, Joel’s Trail at Blueberry and Flowbee at Otis in Elizabethtown. Weber discovered systems making a unique a path into bike recreation. “Locals in the Eastern High Peaks take their responsibility to maintain the rugged character that defines their home seriously,” Weber writes. In the Adirondack Park, he said, “preservation policy is tactile.” ■

ELIZABETHTOWN | Something happened on the Ausable River last Saturday. The water nearly stopped moving through Ausable Chasm. And owners of the popular river rafting attraction below the falls want to know why. John McDonald, president of the Ausable Chasm Company, brought the concern to Essex County Supervisors on Monday. He said they have done business here for 150 years and brought 100,000 guests to the region last year alone. “The water dropped (Saturday) to almost nothing,” he said, “and the Chasm was never notified that water was going to be cut off.” Tim Bresett, general manager at Ausable Chasm was more stark. “Over the weekend we had to turn away over 1,000 people,” he said of the river rafting ride they offer. “The river has disappeared,” Bresett said. “We’ve had really low water all season.” But on Saturday morning it dropped from over 200 cfs to 67 at the gage. “It has never, ever been that low,” Bresett said. “Nobody has given me answers. The chasm (rafts) can’t run in 67 cfs.” The upcoming Labor Day weekend, Bresett told supervisors, is one of their biggest holidays of the year. Both Bresett and McDonald asked whether work that began last Thursday to remove Rome Dam on the West Branch above Au Sable Forks caused the water to stop running. Work is also underway at Wilmington’s dam on the West Branch about 15 miles

The current USGS data chart (Aug. 20 to 27) indicates a sharp drop in water flow at the gage about 1.8 miles past the confluence of the East and West Branches of the Ausable River. The data points are update daily and available online: nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/ ny/nwis/uv?site_no=04275500 Chart/USGS further west (upriver). But both Jay Supervisor Archie Depo and Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston said engineering reports indicated nothing would change the West Branch flow. “We can’t shut that flow off,” Preston said. “Jay can’t shut off the water,” Depo said. “If anything, volume was (expected to see) an uptick.” Essex County Manager Dan Palmer said all river project engineering plans are required to provide that flow remains the same. “Whether it has to do with Rome Dam, I don’t know. Whether it has to do with your dam, I don’t know,” Bresett replied to Preston. “We are lower than at any time in history,” Bresett said, indicating they spoke with Rome Dam project engineers at Reale Construction that morning. “The engineer can’t figure out why it’s doing what it’s doing,” McDonald said. Chasm attraction owners said they tried to call the Department of Environmental

Conservation over the weekend, but no one answered the phone. “We want to work with people doing the job,” McDonald said. The Town of Jay received a DEC Consent Order to take action in 2010 after finding Rome Dam was failing. Depo said engineering done in preparation for the Rome Dam project indicated the West Branch flow would increase 15 to 25 percent once the dam is out. River gage data shows a striking loss of water on Saturday. USGS maintains two gages on the Ausable River, one on the East Branch (unaffected by work at Rome Dam on the West Branch) and another one on the main stem below Au Sable Forks -- nearly two miles past the East/West branch confluence. Gage equipment and data is monitored by the New York Water Science Center in Troy. Contacted Monday to verify the measure-

ments, Water Science Center Hydrologist Christopher Gazoorian, said they did see the drop. “We are sending someone out there on Tuesday to investigate,” he said. The main stem gage (past the confluence) read 57.6 cubic feet per second as of 12:15 p.m. on Monday. “We’re seeing about 57 cfs on the East Branch. We know that water is going to the main stem,” he said. “So any drastic change that maybe happened on Saturday morning would be attributed to a change on the West Branch.” The loss of water flow shows up clearly on USGS data charts. Approximately 175 cubic feet per second of water just stopped moving. Gazoorian said that equates to about 1 billion gallons of water per day. Ausable Chasm owners are trying to figure out what happened. “Is this a temporary proplem or is this the future?” Bresett asked the county’s supervisors. Essex County Department of Public Works Deputy Superintendent Jim Dougan offered to bring Bresett out to the Rome Dam site. “Water flows (over the dam) and the impoundment is increasing the flow not decreasing it,” Dougan said. “I don’t think that’s the cause of your water issue.” Work on the $2.3 million project to remove Rome Dam officially began last Tuesday. McDonald said Ausable Chasm, which is about 10 miles downriver, was not notified. “They stopped notification about three miles south of where the dam was going to be removed,” McDonald said. Several public hearings and informational meetings were held as the Jay Town Council reviewed engineering options to address the Consent Order. Essex County is paying for the work through New York Rising flood recovery grant funds. Depo said Rome Dam project engineers are holding a public meeting on Wednesday night, Aug. 29, at 6:30 p.m. in the Jay Community Center. ■

He suggests the board contact state representatives Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) and Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) to push the pending change to allow retired police to work as SROs in area schools. Scozzafava understood that Moriah Central School had allocated $30,000 to maintain a police presence in their school. “I think $30,000 is a conservative number,” Scozzafava said. Lewis Supervisor Jim Monty said the $30,000 was a budget allocation. “I think $90,000 to $100,000 (per officer) is a more likely figure,” Monty said. Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell cautioned the board about activating retired police officers, suggesting active duty police have ongoing and up-to-date training. “You want somebody in there who is going to act the way he’s supposed to,” Marnell said. Scozzafava said the county’s resources through the Sheriff’s Department is somewhat in limbo with Sheriff Richard C. Cutting set to retire. David Reynolds, chief deputy, is running unopposed for the sheriff’s post. “I think (the cost) would be quite a load

for us,” Essex Supervisor Ron Jackson said of the county’s budget. “I think the state needs to step up and take a share of the cost.”

STATE LEGISLATION IN PROCESS

State lawmakers in Albany have put legislation in motion to define and fund SROs in all small school districts throughout New York. A bill, S7811, sponsored by state Sen. Patrick M. Gallivan, of Elma, in Erie County, passed the State Senate on March 5 this year, 41 aye votes to 19 nay. It was referred to the Assembly, where a companion bill was sent to the Education Committee in May. The new Senate legislation relates “to creating a school resource officer program to permit the employment of retired law enforcement officers; (and) provides school resource officer security protection aid.” The aid rule would charge the state with providing $50,000 for one SRO for every school district outside of a city with a population less than one million residents. The companion Assembly bill “will establish a new state education grant program, the cost of which will depend upon the number of schools (that) hire school resource offi-

cers. This program would establish a grant formula, providing $50,000 for every district that hires a single school resource officer, or a multiple of $20,000 for multiple hires.” If approved in the Assembly and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the law would take effect immediately.

SCHOOL BOARD INTEREST

Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School Superintendent Scott Osborne said Reynolds has presented an idea to provide a part-time SRO. The program, a work-in-progress, would be supported by the Essex County Sheriff’s Office and would hire six new officers to be shared among the county’s school districts. Sheriff deputies would provide two full days and one half-day at each school in rotation, Osborne said. ELCS School Board President Doug Spilling said he understood the officer has to be active duty and engaged with a department. School officials admitted the plan is tentative and no formal cost analysis has been completed. The ELCS School Board unanimously voted to submit a letter to the county supporting addition of an SRO program. State resources actually list 15 school buildings in 11 school districts in Essex County

with a total student population of 4,553 and 11 full-time principals. Several towns have local police departments, including Moriah, Ticonderoga and Lake Placid. State Police maintain substations in other towns, such as Schroon, Crown Point, Wilmington and Lewis. The Essex County Sheriff’s Department is headquartered in Lewis.

NY SHERIFF’S ASSOC. SUPPORT

In February, eight days after the Feb. 14 shooting at Stoneman Douglas School in Parkland, Florida, the New York Sheriff’s Association called for state legislators to provide funding for SROs throughout New York State. “This will be an expensive undertaking,” Wayne County Sheriff Barry Virts, President of the New York State Sheriffs’ Association said in the official announcement. “But we owe it to our children, and their parents, to provide a safe place for education to take place. “We spend many millions of dollars to protect a relatively small number of judges across the state, as we should. Surely we can also find the money to protect our most defenseless people – the children we send off to school each day,” Virts said. ■ suncommunitynews.com/sports

Armed teachers? U.S. Education Department probes controversial issue State Education Department blasts concept as “misguided and dangerous” By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | As students prepare to return to their classrooms this fall, school districts across the region are working with counties to determine how to fund armed school resource officers. Both Plattsburgh City School District and the Essex County Board of Supervisors discussed the issue last week, joining their counterparts in Warren County, who have been weighing costs and logistical details for the bolstered security measures. The talks dovetail with a proposal being weighed by the U.S. Education Department to allocate federal funds to states to arm teachers and staff. The department is the process of determining if funds from a $1 billion support program designed for student low-income enrichment and academic programs can be steered towards arms purchases. “The department is constantly consider-

ing and evaluating policy issues, particularly issues related to school safety,” Liz Hill, a spokeswoman for the Education Department, told the New York Times. The move follows an inquiry by Texas and Oklahoma to clarify if funds for the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants could be used to purchase guns. Stakeholders in New York were quick to criticize the proposal. “It’s worse than reckless. It’s dangerous,” said New York State United Teachers President Andy Pallotta. “Deadly weapons don’t belong in classrooms full of little children, in the hands of educators who have stated repeatedly that they don’t want them.” Pallotta said the state’s largest teachers union will continue to support “sensible safety measures that are embraced by educators and their local communities.” The state Education Department and Board of Regents also criticized the concept, calling it “misguided and dangerous.” “The U.S. Department of Education should not allow our federal education dollars to pay for weapons when that funding is intended for the teaching and learning of our children,” said Chancellor Betty Rosa and Commissioner Maryellen Elia in a joint statement. Regardless of what happens in Washington, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called for Elia to reject the use of any federal funding to purchase

firearms by any school district in New York. “With this plan, the President is putting the NRA over the lives of our teachers and our students,” Cuomo said in a statement. “There is no evidence that giving guns to educators — who are not trained security personnel — will make our schools any safer, but it is clear that making guns more accessible will pose a reckless new and unnecessary danger.” Following a rash of deadly school shootings, Congress allocated $50 million a year to local school districts to boost early intervention programs in a bill passed in March. While the package included funds to train school resource officers and other local law enforcement to combat violence, the legislation prohibited the use of federal funds to purchase firearms. The Every Student Succeeds Act, which created the funding stream for the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants, doesn’t specify if the funds can be used to arm staff. The omission would allow Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to use her discretion to “approve or deny any state or district plans to use the enrichment grants under the measure for firearms and firearm training unless Congress clarifies the law or bans such funding through legislative action,” according to the New York Times.

Florida, but the concept was widely panned by educational groups. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) does not support arming teachers, according to a spokesman, but does support additional funding for student resource officers who may be armed on campus Stefanik believes the grants were “intentionally designed to give states and local school districts — with the input of parents, students and community members — the ability to determine and implement policies to serve their communities around the country,” said Tom Flanagin, the spokesman. ■

Ex-Essex County DA named to state ethics board Julie Garcia appointed by Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PORT HENRY | Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has appointed Julie Garcia to serve on the New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics. Known as JCOPE, the commission is the state’s chief ethics watchdog, overseeing compliance with ethics laws by public officials, including the intersection of lobbying and public policy. “I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of New York state on (JCOPE),” Garcia said in a statement. “I appreciate Assembly Speaker Heastie’s confidence and am committed to ensuring the highest standards of ethics.”

Julie Garcia has been tapped to serve on the New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics. Photo provided

Garcia, who served as Essex County District Attorney from 2006 to 2010, currently works as an attorney in private practice, maintaining offices in Port Henry and Warrensburg. She has also worked as an assistant district attorney in Suffolk and Rensselaer Counties The appointment is not a paid position or a full-time job. “I will continue to maintain my law offices in Essex and Warren County,” Garcia said. “JCOPE does very important work and I am looking forward to getting started. Heastie appoints three members of the 14-member panel. “Ms. Garcia’s extraordinary résumé and unwavering commitment to public service assure me that she will help the commission carry out its duty of ensuring the highest level of integrity in state government,” said Heastie in a statement. “Throughout her career, she has fought tirelessly to deliver justice and promote public safety and I am confident her talents will be an asset to the

State of New York.” JCOPE requires those who advocate for or against actions by state government to disclose their clients and their interactions with government officials. But in the wake of numerous high-profile corruption trials that have returned guilty verdicts for state legislative leaders, the commission has been criticized for not doing more to curb corruption, as well as sexual harassment. Since the panel’s creation in 2011, 15 state legislators have been convicted of crimes. But JCOPE has found misconduct in only two state lawmakers, reported City & State. Garcia declined to discuss if she’d like to steer the committee in any one specific direction. “I have been practicing law for 20 years, which will help me get right to work on the many issues before the Commission,” she said. “I plan to stay focused on the task at hand and will carry out my duties to the best of my ability.” ■
