County to start collecting occupancy tax from Airbnb Online vacation rental marketplace has been making inroads in Essex County

ELIZABETHTOWN — County officials have inked a deal with a popular online vacation rental marketplace to collect occupancy tax.

Airbnb will start collecting the 3 percent tax in Essex County on Oct. 1.

Refugee resettlement

No easy anwers to revitalization, say ANCA attendees

As he navigates the storm over a controversial program on his home turf, Chris Louras offers local leaders some tips from the trenches KEESEVILLE — The outcry over Syrian refugees has shaped much of Rutland’s discourse this summer.

The dispute over whether to accept 100 asylum seekers has cleaved the city, pitting Mayor Chris Louras against constituents, Pete city aldermen and other elected officials.

DeMola Editor As the five-term mayor waits for the Department of State to sign off on the expansion of the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program into his city — a roadblock thrown up by peeved aldermen — Louras ventured to New York last week, where he briefed local leaders on his push to make the state’s third-largest city a host for escapees of the war-torn nation.

A decision may come as soon as 10 days, he said, with the first family arriving as early as December.

Bringing refugees into the city, he said, goes hand-in-hand with urban revitalization efforts.

Their entry, Louras believes, would breathe new life into an ailing city.

Rutland is on track to lose five percent of its population

Building dynamic local economies requires a complex formula, say speakers at Adirondack North Country Association Rutland Mayor Chris Louras is navigating controversy as he attempts to spearhead refugee resettlement efforts in his city. Louras, a Republican, briefed the Adirondack North Country Association on his efforts at their annual meeting in Keeseville on Friday, Sept. 23, 2016.

with each new census. Vacant housing poses an ongoing threat, and jobs are going unfilled due to their undesirability, the mayor said.

“We’ve got a population problem, and we need to turn that around,” Louras said. “We are driving forward because it is the key to our future.”

But the road to get here wasn’t easy. The mayor has come under fire for a perceived lack of transparency. Earlier this summer, city aldermen asked the department of state to examine the issue. A former political opponent also circulated a petition, which was nixed, asking the issue be brought to a vote.

Louras admitted he could have been more open.

KEESEVILLE — Some of the region’s leading thinkers gathered in a drafty stone mill along the Ausable River last week to ponder a fundamental question: How to unpack the secrets of successful communities?

Why are some downtowns bustling, while others are lined with empty storefronts? What makes some communities a nexus of the local food movement? And how, exactly, did a remote town along the Canadian border transform a decrepit industrial waterfront into a boutique hotel?

Answer: It varies.

Some of the officials underpinning these changes attempted to offer a crash course to their counterparts at the event, the annual meeting of the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA), a nonprofit tasked with jumpstarting rural economies across a 14-county swath.

The group has a track record of success since its formation

Childhood cancer nonprofit aims to expand service area

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Riley James Louis Knight was a rambunctious young prankster. He liked sports, shamrocks, animals — especially his dog, Kia — and spending time outdoors.

But most of all, he had a penchant for volunteerism.

“He was always helping somebody else,” said Ann Knight, his mother.

Riley was given nine months to live in August 2010 after doctors discovered a brain tumor.

Six months to the day after being diagnosed with the brain stem glioma, he passed away.

He was two months shy of his 12th birthday.

As he fought for his life, the Ticonderoga Central student never stopped putting others first, including sharing gifts with his fellow patients during the holiday season.

“Riley knew he was going to pass, and his wish was to help other sick children at Christmas,” said Ann. “He wanted to do that for other people, that’s what he wanted to do.”

Ann now hopes to pay it forward with Rileys Wishes, a nonprofit established to keep her son’s legacy alive by helping the families of children between ages 3 and 18 who are fighting lifethreatening illnesses — particularly during the holiday season, which Riley adored.

Since their formation, the group has raised $4,000 through events like raffles, food drives, bake sales, and soda can tab collection drives.

The next event is Oct. 1 at the American Legion.

Rileys Wishes also organizes a dinner each year at the Ronald McDonald House in Burlington, VT, whose services the family used while Riley was receiving treatment.

Among their biggest successes is $1,200 raised to aid in home renovations for a local girl afflicted with cancer.

The group has also worked with Tiny Tim’s Foundation for Kids and Friends Comforting Friends, another nonprofit designed to aid young cancer patients.

Now Rileys Wishes wants to expand their outreach past their current footprint of southern Essex County, Hague and Putnam.

“We can give kids more wishes at Christmas

time,” Ann said. “This is giving me a focus and I’m keeping his memory alive.”

Donations generated during events will be put toward food costs, gift and gas cards, which the group often contributes to other fundraisers.

Families in need, regardless of location, are encouraged to reach out to determine their eligibility.

The next fundraising event, a Paint & Sip, is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 1 at the American Legion in Ticonderoga.

Would Riley be proud?

“Oh yes,” Ann said. “If this was another organization, and he was here, he’d so want to be a part of it.”

For more information, and to get involved, visit rileyswishes.com or find them on Facebook.

Thousands gathered this past weekend at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid from across the Diocese of Ogdensburg and beyond for the 2016 Vocations Summit titled, INSPIRE: Called to Love. Bishop Robert Barron was present along with other internationally renowned Catholic speakers in order to remind God’s People of their universal call to holiness and to strengthen them living out and discerning God’s call to serve his people.

Vote Eisenhower? Signs intended to spark discussion, says Woolf “I think both parties prioritize party over national policy and long-term stability,” says Aaron Woolf, who ran for Congress in 2014

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — A staple of election years, campaign signs are everywhere.

Sprouting with the springtime thaw, the multi-hued signs blossom in summer and reach their peak in mid-autumn.

They’re everywhere — on roadside shoulders, private lawns and public right-of-ways.

A cluster materialized on the lawn of the Deer’s Head Inn in August: Henry Clay, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Teddy Roosevelt.

If none of those names seem familiar this election cycle, it’s because the most recent politician left office over a halfcentury ago.

Public prank or performance art? Something else?

“It was meant to be gently provocative,” said Aaron Woolf, the inn’s coproprietor. “In some ways, it’s an act of political art or conceptual art.”

Woolf, of course, took a run at Congress as a Democrat in 2014, losing to Elise Stefanik, a Republican.

For the Elizabethtown resident, the signs occupying the town’s heavily-trafficked main drag are intended to spark a public discussion on three national leaders who embodied a value he said is no longer seen in politics in today’s “myopic, quick-fix mindset,” where politicians are more focused on reelection than crafting durable policy.

“Each of them, in a way, did something we almost never see in today’s political leaders, which is to prioritize projects that would lead to long-term growth that would not only be completed in their term of office, but in their lifetime,” said Woolf.

The restaurateur and filmmaker is a self-professed infrastructure buff. Two years after his campaign, he said he still feels strongly about these issues, and is able to recall a constellation of policy points in wonkish detail.

So who were these guys?

Clay, a former senator and House Speaker, shaped the young nation in the early-19th century by proposing a system of infrastructure investments between states.

Known as the American System, this national infrastructure plan would aid in facilitating international commerce.

Access to credit and tariffs for nascent industries would position the young nation at the front of the pack, Woolf said.

“What’s more conservative than conservation?” screams another — replete with three question marks.

As the country commemorates the centennial of the National Park System this year, Woolf said it was important to remember its creator: Roosevelt, the nation’s 26th president, avid outdoorsman and famed Adirondack explorer.

The native New Yorker, said Woolf, realized the value in creation of what we now know as “natural capital.”

“We’re at a point here in the Adirondack Park where we’re just beginning to see what some of investments in conservation may bring us economically,” Woolf said.

And Eisenhower, the World War II general who ushered the country through the 1950s during his two terms as president, was responsible for the Interstate Highway system, which Woolf called “single-biggest economic driver of the 20th century.”

The legislation was passed by a bipartisan Congress.

“Think about today’s Congress,” Woolf said. “They’re the least productive in the history of the United States with bills brought forth. Think about a bipartisan Congress with the leadership of a president who is investing in something that would not only be completed in their terms of office, but in many times, in their lifetime.

Three leaders, three different parties — and not a Democrat in the bunch.

Woolf was quick to point out the signs are not an riposte against any one political party — or even his former opponent, who carved out a 20-point victory in a campaign that garnered national attention — but rather of an indictment of the political system as a whole.

“This is not a partisan idea,” Woolf said. “But I think that one of the things that’s afflicting us both as a political culture

and a culture at large is an epidemic of short-term thinking.”

The tavern, which Woolf reopened earlier this summer with a local doctor, aims to be a nexus of discussion.

“We want to be a wonderful non-partisan — or multipartisan — civic institution,” Woolf said. “This is not about any particular politics in today’s race, but it was more like: ‘Let’s figure out a filter through which we can evaluate today’s politicians.’”

Woolf said he plans on continuing to be a part of the national conversation. For more info, visit carpemillennium. com.

Stefanik, of Willsboro, faces opposition this year from Democrat Mike Derrick and Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello.

Voters head to the polls on Nov. 8.

ANCA

From page 1 in 1955.

There’s the $300,000 in grant funding that Assemblywoman Addie Russell (D-116th) locked in for a pilot farm-to-school program in her district, and numerous clean energy efforts, including pushes to provide solar energy to cash-strapped municipalities.

Advocacy efforts include the Go Digital or Go Dark campaign that dragged theaters out of the Stone Age and workforce development projects.

“We don’t make it happen,” said ANCA Board President James Sonneborn. “We help it to happen.”

ADVICE Prior to breaking into small groups designed to troubleshoot, experts offered sage advice: For Tim Fortune, an art gallery owner and chair of Saranac Lake’s Downtown Advisory Board, words need to be followed by direct action — “When you create small successes in big communities, it results in big changes,” Fortune said. “Do something to improve your community — just don’t talk about it.”

Wilmington has undergone a resurgence in the past decade said Randy Preston, the town’s supervisor since 2008.

Preston ticked off the accomplishments: A beach, a refurbished bridge, a new gas station.

A new brewpub may be on the way. And of

course, there is the new network of mountain bike trails running through the state-owned Wilmington Wild Forest.

“I’m run down and gray and falling apart,” Preston said, “but the town is coming back to life.”

Ninety-eight percent of these projects were made possible through grant funding.

Be aggressive in locking those in, said Preston, who linked a $12 million package to refurbish the Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway directly to a reception in Albany at which he hobnobbed with the governor.

And collaborate whenever possible.

“Partnerships truly work,” Preston said, citing projects undertaken with the state Department of Conservation, the town highway department, Whiteface Mountain and the Barkeaters Trail Alliance. “The DEC has been truly fantastic to work with.”

FORCED COOPERATION With the disappearance of earmarks from the state budget — commonly known as “pork” — partnerships and shared services are more than a buzzword, but are critical for success because communities and agencies are now forced to cooperate, said a Glens Falls leader.

While local officials have made great strides in regional development projects, said Ed Bartholomew, president of the Economic Development Corporation of Warren County, progress has been hampered in some areas due to entrenched tribal thinking.

The development of a website for a consortium of 35 arts groups, for instance, was stalled because some parties could not set aside their bad blood stemming from past turf wars, Bartholomew said.

And progress on a regional loan was similarly stymied.

Kristi Dippel, Director of the Clayton Local Development Corporation, said she couldn’t possibly distill how her agency transformed an eight-acre industrial zone into a boutique hotel, a grueling 15-year process, into a threeminute stump.

“I’m more of a survivor,” she quipped.

For Aaron Benner, who aims on opening a web design studio in a former train station in downtown Plattsburgh, the solution to revitalization is simple.

“In Plattsburgh, or Clayton, wherever you may be — you just have to make two blocks cool,” he said, citing a bar in Queens neighborhood that became the go-to spot for local residents.

And Rutland Mayor Chris Louras directly staked his city’s fortunes on welcoming refugees, a proposal that has proved to be controversial on his home turf.

‘INCREDIBLY INSPIRING’ Attendees gathered in at the Stone Mill, a former horse nail factory owned by Adirondack Architectural Heritage, which occupies a nearby building on Main Street.

The complex has no plumbing or power, and the event was a decidedly analog affair: Organizers had to string extension cords to power the naked light bulbs, and the presenters were (thankfully) unshackled from PowerPoint presentations.

Steven Engelhart, AARCH’s executive director, said preservation efforts can be part of

broader revitalization movements.

The agency, in fact, has grand plans for the site, including a waterfront park and transforming the building into a business incubator, much like those that have popped up in other Champlain Valley communities, including Essex and Westport.

Engelhart traced the history of the site, which was built in 1849 and relied on the river for power.

“In some ways, the revitalization process had that same kind of idea, to use natural resources in a way that hasn’t been done before,” Engelhart said.

He added: “Working with ANCA has been a great pleasure. To see it filled with life like it is today is incredibly inspiring.”

The results of the workshops, said Caitlin Wargo, ANCA communications and development director, will be assembled into a toolkit of best practices and distributed throughout the organization’s network.

GETTING STARTED As attendees streamed out of the conference, a man and two high school-age kids exited a building on Ausable Street and peered at the group.

The man, who declined to give his name, pointed at the low-slung building next to the Stone Mill.

“I’d like to see that torn down,” he said.

A reporter asked the man what he thought were the biggest issues facing the community: “Troublemakers” and the speed limit along Ausable Street, he said. (And of course, the building.)

Kody Gonya, a student at AuSable Valley High, cradled his dog.

“Along the river, a nice community park would be awesome,” he said.

Refugees

From page 1 “I keep trying to go back to the human element,” he said.

‘THOROUGHLY SCREENED’ The crowd at the Adirondack North Country Association’s annual meeting, the daylong workshop that acts as somewhat of an experimental laboratory for regional leaders to tinker with economic solutions to rural problems, was perhaps more receptive.

Louras joined other officials in Keeseville last week to share his experiences — and to offer advice for other communities exploring similar efforts.

When resettlement agencies zero in on a possible relocation site, they look at three main areas, Louras said: Safe and sanitary housing, the availability of entry-level jobs and the English-language learning opportunities necessary to build skills.

Rutland, a city of about 16,500, has all three, the mayor said.

“We’ve got a workplace problem,” Louras said, “not a jobs problem. Our employers are looking for employees.”

Anas Saleh, a Syracuse-based lawyer who works directly with asylum seekers, said much of the fear surrounding refugees is a result of misinformation.

“Refugees are the most thoroughly screened people who come into this country,” Saleh said. “It’s a 1,000-day process.”

Potential entrants are “handpicked” by the federal government, he said. Applicants must have work authorization prior to their arrival, and nuclear families are preferred, constituting 98 percent of entrants.

“What people don’t know is Syrians are very educated people,” he said.

The stringent path to obtaining a green card over a five-year period, Saleh said, acts as a further incentive to keep refugees on the straight and narrow.

www.suncommunitynews.com

LOCAL EFFORTS Discussions on accepting refugees have percolated this year in the North Country, and a number of organizations have been formed to explore the feasibility of the concept, including several in Essex County.

Earlier this year, Marijke Ormel watched in horror as the immigrant crisis unfolded in Europe.

A chance encounter with a Palestinian immigrant, who came to the U.S. with only a backpack, cinched Ormel’s desire to get involved with organizations in Burlington and Keene Valley.

“I was so impressed with what he told me,” said Ormel. “They just want to have a better life for their children.”

The Saranac Lake resident hopes to connect with other likeminded individuals.

“My goal is to get some families to the Adirondacks,” she said.

“There’s enthusiasm in our community, for sure.”

Other attendees were more skeptical.

In a roundtable discussion, Willem Monster engaged in a lengthy back and forth with Saleh.

“What is the mayor thinking in terms of gainful employment and contributing to local economies,” asked Monster, who works as a planner in Northville, Fulton County.

Monster said he had reservations about the ages and skills of refugee populations. Furthermore, he said, cities shouldn’t view their import as a panacea to solve housing and blight issues in cities that are already struggling economically.

Saleh said refugees don’t pluck jobs from Americans.

Contrary to public belief, immigrants actually pay into social welfare programs they receive, he said.

“When people naturalize, they provide tremendous economic benefit to us,” Saleh said.

Saleh and Louras said they used a pair of upstate cities as a model: Syracuse and Utica, where immigrants have breathed new life into the struggling rust belt locales, reshaping entire neighborhoods devoured by crime and decay into vibrant and thriving urban centers.

But the lawyer admitted that accepting refugees isn’t a magic bullet.

“It all starts in stages and foundations,” Saleh said. “If we don’t try it, we shut off the potential. Each community is different, and each people are different.”

IGNORANT ‘BY DESIGN’ While Louras said he wanted to avoid politics during the roundtable discussions, he admitted to taking hits and incurring damage from a “small-but-vocal” group of opponents on his home turf.

(TL)

The Valley News Sun • October 1, 2016 | 5

Expect the national negative discourse to be replicated at the local level, he said.

Could he have facilitated the discussions more transparently?

Sure, he admitted.

But some people are ignorant “by design,” he said, and would have sabotaged the process — including the city’s treasurer, who the mayor said circulated misleading information about the impact of asylum seekers on property values.

“She’s helping create that fake narrative,” Louras said.

The mayor, a Republican, said his greatest frustration surrounding the debate was what he referred to as a “dearth of empirical analysis” among refugee populations.

“Those numbers are validated through academia, but there’s not a lot of studies,” he said.

While his decision to make Rutland a beacon for Syrians stemmed from a discussion with Gov. Peter Shumlin following last year’s terrorist attacks in Paris — Louras said he was further miffed by a letter sent by 30 governors barring refugees from their states — he warned attendees that their efforts shouldn’t lean on the government, but rather a constellation of nonprofit agencies.

Grassroots efforts like Rutland Welcomes, the mayor said, were critical in laying down early infrastructure, creating “action-driven” plans that explored everything from transportation to language learning.

STARTING A CONVERSATION ANCA Executive Director Kate Fish said the organization is nonpartisan and doesn’t take stances on political issues.

The annual meeting is assembled on the premise that data revealing demographic trends — like the region’s brain drain and aging population — are troubling, Fish said.

But the nonprofit does attempt to challenge that by looking at success stories.

The idea to make refugee resettlement a topic of discussion, Fish said, sprouted from the a forum organized by the Adirondack Diversity Advisory Council last June.

ANCA staffers returned from that session with a question: “Is there a conversation useful to start around immigrants and refugees?” Fish said.

There was.

“We do want to start a conversation that isn’t necessarily comfortable with everyone.”

ANCA Board President James Sonneborn echoed those sentiments.

“I see the topic as the intersection between fear and opportunity,” he said during his opening remarks. “The economic engine is potentially transformative in the 14-county region.”

Freedom is not a choice

everal weeks ago I wrote about freedom being a choice.

After attending the SPARCC Community Forum on Substance Abuse last week in Plattsburgh I need to qualify that thought.

SPARCC is short for the Substance Abuse Prevention and Recovery of Clinton County, a coalition of agencies who have joined together in this battle.

For an alarming number among us freedom is not a choice. One poor choice by a child or an adult can leave a person trapped by the seductive power these drugs are designed to create.

Addictions that effect ones behavior was once thought of as mind over matter. Willpower, strong motivation, and a supporting cast around you was all one really needed to overcome an addicted behavior.

Today, through medical research of the brain, we know and understand how substance abuse alters the brain’s ability to freely decide, making it a need and no longer a choice.

Micheal Nerney, of Long Lake, is a consultant in substance abuse prevention and education with 37 years of experience in the field. Last week at the Strand Theater he, along with others who deal with addressing this growing crisis, provided a presentation in the debilitating affects of this disease.

Nerney’s area of expertise includes psychopharmacology, adolescent chemical dependency, relapse prevention heroin, prescription opiate addiction, as well as gender differences in communication and managing violent incidents.

This was an eye opening session into a world I had little to no experience encountering. I walked away wondering how I and those close to me were ever lucky enough to avoid this deadly trap; that once in its clutches will continue to alter the way your brain functions.

Through modern day research of the brain experts now understand so much more about how the receptors in the brain function and how they differ from male to female. Drug traffickers, through trial and error, concoct chemicals that render the body’s defenses helpless.

The lure of these cheap drugs combined with the stress for even the very young in today’s ever evolving society places us all at risk to feel the affects of this ever growing problem.

We all must become educated about what’s happening and join in this battle before future generations are lost to this deadly disease. For more information visit: www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/heroin or a local substance abuse organization near you.

Trust me, even if this substance abuse issue hasn’t affected you or your family, it’s only a matter of time until it does. Education and a complete understanding of what is taking place is our best defense.

New group offers chance at balanced land use debate — now don’t blow it

A

s we head into autumn, the first Adirondack Park Agency public hearings to determine the classification for the Boreas Ponds and Macintyre Tracts are right around the corner.

The first is scheduled for Nov. 9.

These hearings will determine the use of the parcels purchased by the state from the Nature Conservancy this past spring.

By now, the contours are well known: A kaleidoscope of groups have offered their proposals for how the central Adirondack parcels, the last in a planned state acquisition of some 69,000 acres once owned by a timber company, should be used.

Green groups are calling for more restricted public access to protect what is frequently referred to as an “ecological jewel” from human impact.

Local governments are calling for more access, a measure they say will buoy local economies which continue to be touch-and-go.

Sportsmen, too, are advocating for access, citing statistics that show an aging population.

The debate will surely sharpen once the hearings get underway. So will the campaigns designed to steer and shape public opinion.

Several are already underway, including a pro-Wilderness campaign featuring a famous actress who is a seasonal resident here.

We’ve said for a long time that these glossy, celebri- Gov.

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

OnÊ PortÊ HenryÊ dissolution:Ê payingÊ moreÊ forÊ lessÊ service To the Editor: Regarding the article on the dissolution of the village of Port Henry creating a Moriah town budget chaos: weren’t the people assured that there would be no increases in town taxes? Now there’s a problem? Couldn’t this have been foreseen beforehand?

“Dissolve the Village... The time has come... It’s the way of the future... Be a team player.” All these cliches were used to promote dissolution. I predict that in a few years, we will be paying more in taxes than before dissolution and will be receiving far fewer services.

Pay more for less service. Welcome to the way of the future� Remember those responsible for this change and enjoy being a team payer (I mean, player).

Joseph Baker Port Henry

AllegationsÊ againstÊ ClintonÊ Ô borderÊ onÊ theÊ absurdÕ To the Editor: Mr. Windle should not be concerned with my age. I was the President of the AuSable Valley Taxpayers Association and was instrumental in saving the district $548,000. I am the President of the North Country ItalianAmerican club, Vice President of our local Home Owners Association (also Architectural Chair), Treasurer of our Masonic organization. I golf regularly and I still ski Whiteface. I have been politically active since Franklin Roosevelt was president nearly 70 years ago. I am not ready for the rocking chair yet.

About your misinformation about Hillary Clinton: The reason this is a story is the potential that there was some quid pro quo involved: that in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation and/or the speech Bill Clinton gave in Russia, Hillary Clinton used her position as Secretary of State to make approval of this sale happen. It need not be explicit, but at the very least there has to be a connection between donations and official action that Clinton took. There was no “quid pro quo.”

What’s the evidence for that allegation? There isn’t any, at least not yet.

The only evidence is timing: people who would benefit from the sale made donations to the foundation at around the same time the matter was before the government.

What’s the evidence in Clinton’s favor? Even if Clinton had wanted to make sure the sale was approved, it wouldn’t have been possible for her to do it on her own. CFIUS is made up of not only the secretary of state, but also the secretaries of the U.S. Treasury, Department of Justice, Homeland Security, Commerce, Defense, and Energy, as well as the heads of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

The Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Labor are nonvoting members, and CFIUS’s work is also observed by representatives of other agencies like the National Security Council and the Office of Management and Budget. The idea that Clinton could have convinced all those officials and all those departments to change their position on the sale, even if she had wanted to, borders on the absurd.

Furthermore, the official who was the State Department’s representative on CFIUS at the time, Jose Hernandez, told Time magazine that Clinton did not participate in the evaluation of this deal: “Secretary Clinton never intervened with me on any CFIUS matter,” he said.

Mr. Windle, please get the facts straight, and oh by the way, AMERICA IS GREAT. Joe DeMarco Jay

TreasurerÊ setsÊ recordÊ straight To the Editor: I read with interest the most recent letter from William Kuntz about Essex County [“Essex County could face bankruptcy if unable to service debt,”

by William Kuntz, Sept. 17 edition of The Sun] potentially facing bankruptcy if it is unable to service its debt. He made several comments that I feel need to be refuted.

First, he stated that “nobody seems to know just why the county needs to search titles of lands that have been owned and taxed for decades.”

I assume he is talking about title searches relative to the foreclosure process that the county is required to do by law under New York State Real Property Tax Laws. I would suggest he look at Article 11 of Real Property Tax Law, entitled “Procedures For Enforcement of Collection of Delinquent Taxes.” He should then turn to Title 3, Section 1125 to read how the county is required by law to notify owners of properties and all other parties who have registered an interest in any property for which a foreclosure action is commencing.

He goes on to state that “perhaps someone might call the Columbia County Treasurer and ask why Columbia County charges almost $400 per parcel and track down the state law that allows all this absurdity.”

So I called the Columbia County Treasurer and verified that Columbia County actually charges $450 per parcel. By the way, Essex County charges $150 per parcel for the title searches required by law. If Mr. Kuntz cares to, he can then look at Real Property Tax Law Article 11, Title 1, Section 1102 to read that a charge of up to $150 is allowed for title searches and that more than that can be charged if approved by a New York court.

Mr. Kuntz then states that somehow I get to determine the interest and penalty rates on taxes that are not paid within the interest free period set by law.

I do not get to “charge credit card rates” as he so states. I must follow the laws in that regard. Again, if he cares to look, he can find that those rates

COMMENTARY are set by New York State, not by the county treasurer. The interest rate of 1 percent per month has not changed since 1983, and the penalty rate of 5 percent is set by Real Property Tax Law Article 9, Title 3, Section 936.

Referring to the radio system put into place by the county, he infers that that was “some clever back room financing” that became “a windfall for some local bankers.”

Mr. Kuntz could not be further from the truth in that regard. Essex County financed $9.72 million in Public Improvement Serial Bonds through a public notice of sale. The bonds were purchased by Roosevelt & Cross, Inc. and Associates, one of the most reputable municipal bond brokers in the world. They have been in business for over 70 years, and are by no means “local bankers.” Not exactly clever backroom financing, is it Mr. Kuntz?

Finally, Mr. Kuntz refers to “the many defective tax sales over the last two decades.” I am in my 22nd year as county treasurer, so I have been here for all of those two decades. If Mr. Kuntz has specific evidence of these “many defective tax sales,” he should state the specifics, rather than deal in innuendos, insinuations, and simply wrong statements� Michael G. Diskin Essex County Treasurer Elizabethtown

RailroadÊ trackÊ removal To the Editor: A ray of hope?

This could be good news. Perhaps it’s a sign that someone has put their thinking cap on? It is hard to believe that New York State wants to put two enterprises out of business (the LP tourist trains and the Railbikes) and rip up a viable rail corridor all for the sake of yet another trail through the mountains.

Is this really a fight for a trail? Or is it a fight against the railroad?

It’s certainly not a fight based on economics. The Railbikes are booming, folks are riding the LP trains and the state is getting revenue from the line.

Destroying this for more hiking is worth the effort? Really? It’s not even about snowmobiling, as they get to use the line in the winter already. So really, another hiking trail versus active enterprises and the only rail transportation link left to SL and LP? Something doesn’t add up.

Essex County will begin collecting occupancy tax from Airbnb, an online vacation rental marketplace, on Oct. 1.

Occupancy Tax

From page 1

“I think we’ll hit that number, but for the calendar year 2016, that’s a high projection,” said Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism CEO James McKenna.

As of July 1, there were 280 registered Airbnb hosts in Essex County — up more than 50 percent over the last year, according to the agency.

The results from these units, previously uncollected, will start trickling in next month.

“Preliminary numbers from the Smith Travel Report suggest that with some exceptions, this summer has been strong overall,” said Kim Rielly, ROOST’s communications director. “In fact, this August was most likely the best month of all since we’ve tracking data.”

Total occupancy tax numbers will be in by December, Rielly said.

SHAKY PICTURE Other online rental platforms, including Vacation Rentals by Owner and Homeaway, do not automatically collect the fee, Diskin said, and renters of those units must self-report.

“I think Airbnb is starting to realize they’re getting into more and more good graces,” Diskin said.

The revenue will be a welcome boost for the county, which has been impacted by the sustained freefall in gas prices.

Essex County has lost $171,857 in motor fuel tax this year to date, Diskin reported to county lawmakers last week.

If not for that plummet, the county would be up $134,000 over last year.

“Overall, we’re doing good on sales tax aside from motor fuel,” said Diskin.

Trump and Skittles Killed by a refugee?

John L. Micek Columnist

Y

ou know what the great thing about Skittles is?

You can never eat just one. They’re just that tasty.

So on behalf of fruit-flavored candy addicts everywhere - not to mention the huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, I plan to enjoy a bag of that childhood favorite just as soon as I finish thanking Donald Trump Jr. for the spectacularly dense thing he said on Twitter.

In case you missed it (and it’s hard to imagine how that happened), here it is: “If I had a bowl of Skittles and I told you just three would kill you, would you take a handful,” the scion of the Trump empire mused. “That’s our Syrian refugee problem.”

Then he added, just for good measure, “This image says it all. Let’s end the politically correct agenda that doesn’t put America first.”

There are a number of things wrong with Trump’s assertion mainly that you possibly face a greater risk of choking to death on a Skittle (which is already astronomical) than you do of dying at the hands of a refugee.

According to a report by the Libertarian Cato Institute released last week, your risk of being killed by a refugee is a truly insane 1 in 3.64 billion.

That’s billion. With a “buh.”

By comparison, your risk of being killed by a foreigner on a tourist visa is 1 in 3.9 million. You know who came into the country on tourist visas and killed a bunch of Americans?

That would be the 9/11 hijackers, who largely entered the country on tourist and business visas, laid in wait, and then perpetrated catastrophic attacks that claimed nearly 3,000 American lives.

It is, in fact, much harder for a refugee to gain entrance to the United States than it is someone seeking entrance on a tourist or business visa.

As The Week, and other sources have reported, it actually takes up to two years for a refugee to gain entrance to the United States. And no matter what Trump tells you, the vetting process is a complicated one.

It’s also important to note one really other important thing about refugees: They’re fleeing, amid great hardship and at tremendous personal risk, to avoid being killed in a horrible war back home or to escape some other tremendously dangerous situation.

Vigilance is important, and yes, if you see something, you should say something.

But, again, your odds of being killed in a terrorist attack or by a refugee remain astonishingly low.

The Washington Post crunched the numbers a while back, and concluded Americans are, among other things, 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease; nine times more likely to choke to death on their own vomit; 404 times more likely to die in a fall and 13 times more likely to die in a railway accident.

Put another way, your chances of dying like Jimi Hendrix (choking on your own vomit), while suffering from heart disease while falling off a ladder strategically positioned over a railroad track are better than your chances of dying in a terrorist attack — let alone one perpetrated by a refugee.

So have another Skittle.

EYE ON THE ARTS

‘Inscribed and sealed for a new year’

R

osh Hashanah, the beginning of the Jewish New Year, is right around the corner. Rosh Hashanah celebrates the birth of mankind; the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve. The holiday also symbolizes the first sin and subsequent repentance of man.

What follows will be ten days of repentance, according to chabad.org, which will end with Yom Kippur on Oct. 12. A popular saying in the Jewish community during this time is “leshanah torah tikateiv veteichateim,” or “may you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.”

One aspect of Rosh Hashanah is the reciting of the Tashlich prayers, where Jews symbolically cast their sins into the water while reciting the verse “and you shall cast their sins into the depths of the sea.” This allows participants to leave their old shortcomings behind, and start the year with a clean slate.

There is beauty to be found in every religion and faith, just as there is beauty to be found in art.

We are lucky, in the North Country, to be seeing an ever-increasing amount of beauty to be found here. Here are a few suggestions as to where you can find your slice of faith and art around the region: HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS Shaaray Teflia, the Center for Jewish Life in Glens Falls, will celebrate the first day of Rosh Hashanah on Oct. 3. The center will have activities all day, beginning with the shacharit at 9 a.m. and ending with the ma’ariv at 6:30 p.m. A special Tashlich prayer is scheduled for 4 p.m. in Crandall Park. On Oct. 12, the center will celebrate Yom Kippur with a Neilah service at 5:30 p.m., with a special blessing of children. For more information, visit shaaraytefila-gfny.org.

The Chabad of Plattsburgh will host their first Rosh Hashanah dinner on Oct. 2 at 7:15 p.m. Their second Rosh Hashanah dinner will be held on Oct. 3 at 7:30 p.m. Reservations can be made online at plattsburghchabad.com.

A Kol Nidre service is scheduled for Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. and a Yom Kippur service for Oct. 12 at 9 a.m. with ne’ila at 6 p.m. The synagogue requests a donation of $100 per seat for the high holy days. For more information, visit lakeplacidsynagogue. org.

The Temple Beth El in Glens Falls will celebrate the high holy days with a special Rosh Hashanah service at 10 a.m. on Oct. 3. The synagogue will also provide a Quarry House children’s service at 3 p.m. On Oct. 12, a Yom Kippur service is scheduled for 10 a.m., with a children’s service to follow at 2 p.m. and an afternoon service at 3 p.m. The afternoon service will be followed by a Yizkor memorial service, Neilah service and more. For more information, visit glensfallstemple.com or call 792-4364.

The historic Beth Joseph Synagogue in Tupper Lake, built in 1906, will begin their Rosh Hashanah celebration on Oct. 2 at 7:30 p.m. with a special service An additional service will be held on Oct. 3 at 10 a.m. For more information, contact Barbara at 359-9633.
