LAKE PLACID — The Adirondack Scenic Railroad announces that it has received national ranking as one of the top 12 train trips in the country by Fodor’s Travel in the August/September edition of AARP The Magazine, the world’s largest circulation magazine (travel.aarp.org/articles-tips/articles/info-092014/train-travel-fall-foliage-photo.html). “Though it is often not the most expeditious

means of travel, train rides are as much about what you see along the way as where you’re going,” said Abby Chase of Fodor’s Travel, division of Penguin Random House, LLC. Listed as #6 on the list, the Adirondack Scenic Railroad offers an exceptional value with the Fall Foliage trains, offering what was described as “the perfect opportunity to experience some of the best foliage across the US.”

“The Adirondack Scenic Railroad is exceptionally pleased to be included and honored by AARP in this way. The Adirondack fall foliage is some of the most spectacular in the country, riding a train you can sit back, talk with friends and family while enjoying stunning views. The Railroad is a piece of New York history and provides a nostalgic, relaxing experience for people from all walks of life,” stated Bethan Maher, Executive Director for the Adirondack Scenic Railroad.

Town-wide festival will welcome fall with pumpkins, apples & vendors

WESTPORT — With just a few more weeks of warm weather, a group of Westport residents is hoping to rally the community with one last hurrah before the sidewalks roll up for the winter. Medara Sherman remembers when, as a Pete kid, the town would come alive before HalDeMola Editor loween. Folks would gather on the lawn of the Westport Library and decorate pumpkins with yarn and glitter. That’s what got Sherman fired up to organize a communitywide event. Expect attractions across town this weekend. The Essex County Fairgrounds will host a historical display, a junior demolition derby and horseback riding benefit. A townwide garage sale will give folks a chance to rub shoulders with their fellow neighbors, while child-friendly activities dotted throughout — apple-dunking, face-painting, applebobbing — should be enough to entertain the kids. The Heritage House will serve as the epicenter, where a group of local historians will give oral histories on everything from ice fishing to the region’s role in the Civil War. Dozens of vendors will also participate, from potters to local food producers.

Linda Adams said it’s nice to see so many members of the community coming forward to display their items. “They love getting out meeting people and selling their craft,” said Adams. Proceeds from vendors will be donated to the local food shelf to assist with their heating bill, while a basket raffle sponsored by the Westport Chamber of Commerce will benefit the town’s bicentennial fireworks fund. Attendees will also get a chance to scope the fall foliage from Lake Champlain via a Westport Marina-sponsored boat tour, while history buffs are encouraged to embark on a walking tour of the hamlet. Sherman hopes those who didn’t make it to the town’s bicentennial celebrations in July will return and stay for the day. “It’s going to give residents a second opportunity to view the displays that community worked really hard to do.” Westport Fall Fair: Saturday, Oct. 3 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, find the Westport Heritage House on Facebook.

TICONDEROGA — After Republicans failed to take back a single statewide seat last year, the state party brought in advisors who offered a post-mortem analysis of the race that saw Team Blue thoroughly throttling Team Red. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, handily won re-election, sailing past Republican challenger Rob Astorino, 54 percent to 40.6 percent. (Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins garnered 4.9 percent.) Astorino running mate Chris Moss said he hopes the party can use the defeat as a learning experience. Moss, speaking to Essex County Republicans at their annual dinner last week, of-

fered a list of improvements that he said will allow the party to start adding statewide offices to the win column. While money is always an issue — the Cuomo campaign spent $35 million to their $6.8 million, Moss noted — the state party needs to do more to build farm teams and nurture the next generation of talent, good candidates to run for offices starting at the local level. “We need to find a way to get to those folks and find a way to support them,” said Moss. Republicans also need to be more receptive to women, he said, two-thirds of whom voted for the Cuomo ticket. “We really have to figure out why our party is seen by >> Story Continued | pg. 9

Center for Loon Conservation to raffle quilt

RAY BROOK — Biodiversity Research Institute’s Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation will raffle off a queen-sized loon quilt during the 2015 Adirondack Loon Celebration Sunday, Oct. 11 at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts. This year’s quilt portrays the “Life of a Loon” through nine stunning blocks that each depict a unique aspect of Common Loon natural history. “The arrangement of colors and textures is fantastic!” said Dr. Nina Schoch, Coordinator of BRI’s Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation, “We are most grateful to the generosity of the quilters who created these amazing blocks that tell the story of a loon’s life.” The combined experience of the group of quilters who produced the blocks totals more than 175 years of quilt making. The quilters include Karen Grant (immature loon block), Anne Haskell (loon nest and molted loon feather on the water blocks), Karen LiVecchi (flying loon block) Sue Ochs (swimming loon block), Lori Schneider (stretching loon block), Nina Schoch (loon family block), Sue Schoch (penguin dancing loon block), and Carol Wild (incubating loon turning an egg block). To see these unique quilt blocks and learn more the loon behaviors they illustrate, as well as find out about the skilled quilters who made them, visit briloon.org/adkloon or at facebook.com/ adkloon.

RAFFLE TICKETS Raffle tickets for the “Life of a Loon” Quilt are $5 each or 6 for $25, with all proceeds supporting BRI’s Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation. Tickets can be downloaded at briloon.org/adkloon, and will also be available at the 2015 Adirondack Loon Celebration Sunday, Oct 11, at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, beginning at 1:30 p.m. The drawing will be held at 4:30 p.m., and the winner need not be present to win. This 2015 Loon Celebration is free to all, and will be from 1:30 to 5 p.m. at LPCA. It will feature fun-filled activities for the whole family, including a hilarious performance by the amazing ventriloquist Sylvia Fletcher and her saucy puppets; a loon calling demonstration; a presentation on loon natural history and conservation; a loon-related art and photo show; music by the Rustic Riders; a silent auction; the raffle for this year’s “Life of a Loon” quilt; and a delicious loony reception. All are invited to join in the fun. Special prizes will be awarded to anyone who shows up in a loon costume or is willing to try a yodel or wail – so start practicing loon calls now. Additionally, a field trip to one of the Loon Center’s study lakes will be offered from 9a.m. – 12:30p.m. (Note that there is a fee for the field trip, and pre-registration is required by contacting adkloon@briloon.org or 888-749-5666x145 for more information).

A call to faith

ast week America was blessed to host Pope Francis, one of the world’s true holy men and leader of the Roman Catholic Faith. Three major cities played host to the Pope as he shared his vision for the country that has been so blessed. The Pope made it clear his visit was not about politics, as he artfully shared his message of love, joy, hope and forgiveness while inviting all to share the wonders of God’s love and creation. This Pope expresses faith and love, not with fire and brimstone but with understanding and wisdom. He has proven time and time again that he is just as comfortable with dignitaries as he is when he is interacting with everyday people. He made a significant statement by the common means of transportation he chose by his use of a simple Fiat hatchback versus the traditional limousines dignitaries typically use in motorcades. A former Jesuit Priest who many years ago took a vow of poverty, Francis is the embodiment of a simple man who, despite his appointment as Pope, sees the condition of humanity from a common man’s perspective. Francis also defines the word, ‘holy’. His invitation to faith was not just about the Catholic Church nor was it just a call for Catholics. Faith and the acceptance of a supreme being is not just about a building or a title. Faith is freedom to believe, to love and to share the abundant gifts we’ve all been given with those less fortunate. The Pope has encouraged people of all faiths, and no faith, to find common ground. He made it clear that his role is not that of a judge but rather a mere common man called by his Lord to be Shepherd to the people of this world. “In a world where various forms of modern tyranny seek to suppress religious freedom, or try to reduce it to a subculture without right to a voice in the public square, or to use religion as a pretext for hatred and brutality,” Francis said, “it is imperative that the followers of the various religions join their voices in calling for peace, tolerance and respect for the dignity and rights of others.” “We must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible, as we educated new generations

Perilous North Hudson checkpoint should be permanently closed

he perilous roadblock manned by agents of the U.S. Border Patrol between exits 29-30 of the Adirondack Northway was once again in full operation this past weekend, subjecting motorists to what we believe is a highly dangerous practice of coming to an unexpected stop from 65 miles per hour. We’ve gone on record before on this subject and we’ll do so again: How many lives must be lost before federal agents permanently close this accident waiting to happen? Is it really worth meddling in the lives of the more than 12,000 motorists per day stopped at this location for the relatively few, mostly minor drug related arrests that are made there? We understand the laudable goal of this intermittent checkpoint that crops up from time to time in North Hudson at the southbound High Peaks rest area. Border Patrol agents have a job to do — and that is to keep our citizenry safe from terrorists and their weapons while searching for illegal immigrants and narcotics. Following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks federal border patrol agents stepped up these checkpoints throughout the country, operating approximately 60 at any given time on interstates within 100 miles of our U.S. borders. The one in North Hudson is about 75 miles south of the border with Canada. But none of these stops have been as accident-ridden or deadly as the one in our own backyard. Interstate 87 is unique in that its mountains, trees and curves produce blind spots unlike most interstates where visibility is far greater, making it the perfect storm to halt traffic out of the blue. The proof can be found in the life-threatening history here. It was in September of 2004 when 5-year-old Jonelle Adams and her mother, Natalie, 40, and family friend Sherylann John, 41, all of Uniondale, Long Island were killed after their car was pushed from behind by a tractor-trailer skidding out of control as they waited in line at the security checkpoint in North Hudson. Helpless, the family slammed into a pickup and their vehicle burst into flames. The tractor-trailer then hit a second tractor-trailer and a pickup towing a camper, which also burst into flames killing the driver, 53-year-old Walter Giveans of Otisville, N.Y. An earlier crash in February that year injured more than 50 people when a tour bus carrying 47 passengers careened into the back of a tractor-trailer at the border patrol roadblock, pushing it into an SUV and car which were also waiting in line to be quizzed by an agent. In both crashes, driver inattentiveness as well as poor line of sight were noted as contributors to the accidents. Afterward, the Essex County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to oppose the Border Patrol stop calling it unnecessary and dangerous. State and federal lawmakers followed suit, and upon the urging of U.S. Sen. Chuck

Schumer a report by the National Transportation Safety Board ensued, citing numerous safety deficiencies. In response, Border Patrol made changes that included rumble-strips and warning signs farther north. But we believe these band-aids are too little, too late. On a recent trip through the checkpoint, one reader reported a whiteknuckled wait of nearly 5 minutes, all the while scanning his rearview in fear of an inattentive motorist careening into the line of cars that stretched back nearly as far as the first warning sign. His reward for the wait? A leisurely wave-through by the uniformed agent without so much as a word. “I support our customs agents and appreciate the hard work they do,” the reader wrote in an email. “I’m just not sure if this roadblock is the best way to accomplish what they are tasked to do. I drive a full size SUV I could have had loaded with half a dozen illegals, yet was waved through without so much as a glance in the back.” “Meanwhile, that stop is dangerous as hell.” We here at Sun Community News have to agree. Leave the job of patrolling our interstates to our very competent state police force and use the time and resources of our federal border patrol agents to secure our borders. In the past decade this checkpoint in North Hudson has done little besides imperil and intrude on the lives of the law abiding motoring public. It needs to be permanently shut down.

On a Saturday morning, while you were driving the Village of Port Henry’s “mobile Jack Hammer” on the sidewalk in front of our house on the way to your work site, you engaged the Jack Hammer. Yes, it was loud, boisterous, and very intrusive to us and our home. You were told to stop it because it was damaging to our historic brick building. You just continued on while laughing and your Foreman yelling, “get the **** back into your house before I call Stahl and have you arrested.” And that was that. As morning turned to afternoon, one could hear them doing their job just up the hill, on Spring Street. And then the peace was shattered by the wretched noise of the mobile jackhammer. You drove up our short driveway with the hammer pointing forward and you, shooting within inches, directly at our home. Mortar, pieces of brick, and mortar dust tumbled to the ground. You even left tire marks on our driveway. And then you just drove away. Back to the village garage as if nothing had happened. Then on Monday, you show up at our home with someone, introducing himself as the mayor and then the vice mayor as we denied his fraudulent introduction. To us, he was just someone off the street trying to illegally record everything that was said. Sad and nerves shaken, we try to grasp the reasoning for your destructive behavior and actions inviting you several times to come and see the damage you had done to our home. The Historic Fire House where three companies at the same time. Our home, the firemen invited all the children for Christmas parties and to visit Santa. Our home is where the same children want to see the fire house as great grandparents. Our home, the firemen had their own meetings. Our home, the bright red fire trucks stood proud, ready to be put into action. Our home, we honor the list of firemen on the wall and all before and after them. This is our home which we are humbled and honored to be listed on the National Historic Registry and New York State Historic Registry. Please, please, please reconsider changing your abrupt destructive thoughts and actions towards us and our home. You have continually stated and referenced us as “those people”. Do you really think that much of yourselves? You work for us, the people of Port Henry. Janet and Erik Hansen (and Ye Old Firehouse) Village of Port Henry

100 year celebration a great success!

COMMENTARY

Little Bits

To the Editor:

The Whallonsburg Civic Association would like to thank the community for making the Centennial Celebration and Block Party at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall such a great success. Nearly two hundred people came out to enjoy music, eat great local food, view the exhibit of photos, mementos and documents that showed 100 years of Grange history, and celebrate this momentous occasion together. We appreciate all the groups who contributed their time and energy to the success of this event, including Adirondack Harvest, the Wadhams Free Library, the Greenhorns, and the Lakeside School parents, along with the many local businesses who helped to underwrite the celebration. We thank Assemblyman Dan Stec and Supervisors Ed Gardener (Essex) and Shaun Gilliland (Willsboro) for speaking about their support for the Grange; and State Senator Betty Little for introducing a resolution into the State Legislature honoring the Centennial and the restoration of the Grange. The Wannabes, Dan Berggren, and Russ Bailey deserve special thanks for contributing their musical talents. Thanks also to Boquet Valley Blooms for providing the beautiful floral arrangements, and to Peggy Staats for the delicious birthday cake. A big thank you to all the farmers and food producers who provide the excellent food that we serve and who work with us to make this event and others a success throughout the year: Essex Farm, Mace Chasm Farm, Domaine Champlain Orchard, North Country Creamery, DaCy Meadow Farm, Reber Rock Farm, Harvest Hill Farm, Full & By Farm, Dak & Dill, KZ Farm, Ben Wever Farm, and Juniper Hill Farm. Many local food producers and crafters brought their delicious and beautiful handmade products for everyone to see and purchase. Special thanks go, as always, to Chef Jeremy and his team for working hard at the grill, and to the Whallonsburg, Essex, and Wadhams Fire Departments, who shared their fire trucks with the children, helped with parking, and ensured everyone’s safety. Last but certainly not least, we want to thank all the many Grange volunteers who worked for many days and especially over the weekend to put on this great event. The Centennial Celebration took place in our beautifully restored Grange Hall, and we would like to thank Mark Hall of Hall Design Group for his invaluable contribution to this project. As Stephen Coye of the New York State Grange Museum wrote in our letter of congratulations, the fact that the Hall still stands for its centennial “is a great testimony to the folks that had the vision to create the facility in the first place, and also to those who realized it needed to remain as a significant part of Whallonsburg.” Senator Betty Little also shared her perspective: “More than just a structure, the Whallonsburg Grange Hall has served as the heart of this rural community for 100 years … [it has] helped to foster and support interest in agricultural affairs, community progress and strong family values.” Together, we organized a party that was truly worthy of our first one hundred years! Here’s to the next hundred. Andy Buchanan, President Whallonsburg Civic Association

Get what you pay for! To the Editor: At first, we must admire our town supervisor for trying to save the local taxpayer’s money with his proposal for the relocation of the police department to the town-owned armory property. BUT! I think the one thing our supervisor doesn’t take into consideration is YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! What we will get with the armory location is a converted building in an out of the way, remote, unhandy and unwanted location. This will also bring unwanted traffic noise and disfigure some nice property in an otherwise quiet peaceful neighborhood. If the monies we have set aside for this would be used in a proper way, these monies could be put toward a new location in a convenient part of town. I’ll again mention the need for a new highway department and this would be, although not an ideal location, a better location for our police department. I can show you a good example of Ticonderoga GETTING WHAT THEY PAID FOR if anyone would care to contact me. Again, I say let’s formulate a plan that won’t disfigure the Historic Armory Property and locate the police department where it can do the most good for all the people. Remember, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

not to turn their back on our ‘neighbors’ and everything around us.” The Pope’s ambitious schedule which included many significant firsts, was highlighted by a closing Mass in Philadelphia attended by over one million people and seen by millions more digitally around the globe, as part of the World Meeting of Families. The Pope made in clear that the family is the future of the church and the cure for the turmoil in the world today. “All the love God has in himself, all the beauty and truth he has in himself, he gives it to the family. Family is really family when it’s able to open its arms and receive all that love. Of course, it’s not quite earthly paradise. There are still problems. Men and women through the astuteness of the devil have learned, unfortunately, how to divide themselves. And all that love God gave, almost was lost. In a little period of time the first crime: the first instance of fratricide. A brother kills another brother – and war. Love and beauty and truth, or war. Between them, we walk ahead. It’s up to us to choose. It’s up to us to decide which path we want to take forward.” A simple challenge from a simple, and humble man. Dan Alexander is president and CEO of Sun Community News.

Total lunar eclipse Gordie Little

Columnist

oon children, gather ‘round. We certainly had our fun last Sunday night, didn’t we? Full moon, total lunar eclipse, super moon, blood red moon— call it what you will. You did see it, didn’t you? I was embarrassed to take my simple point-and-shoot camera onto the front porch and click a series from beginning though fullness. For Kaye and me, they were great because we shared the experience—one of many in our long lifetimes. I didn’t put my photos on the Internet because they were pathetic compared to the others, but I will save them. We stayed up longer than usual to drink it in and had a short sleep, arising at our usual early hour. I was amazed when I checked my “page” to see hundreds upon hundreds of pictures and comments from many states and countries where the eclipse could be seen. I want to publicly thank all who responded. I commented that perhaps the Holy Father’s recent visit and the super moon eclipse would work toward bringing all peoples closer together. My friends and family know that I take the admonition “love one another” very seriously. Every time I write this column, I try to infuse that sentiment in the words and hope you can feel it as you read. Kaye hollered from another room, urging me to look outside as I wrote this at 6:40 a.m. on Monday, September 28. I rushed to a window and the spectacular sunrise took my breath away. We are blessed. I waxed nostalgic about sun and moon eclipses I have seen in my 78-plus years. My mom and dad understood the important of such moments and took time to explain them and help us assimilate them. I was about four when a solar eclipse occurred while we were at a church camp in Beacon, NY. My mother took an old negative from a drawer and allowed me to look at the darkened sun through it. At some later time, we made a viewer with a shoe box and pinhole, to protect our young eyes from dangerous exposure. It’s been a long time since a super moon and total lunar eclipse were on our celestial agenda and the next one will be 18 years down the road. For that reason we’re delighted to have seen that bright orange/red orb last Sunday night. We hope it somehow served, along with the pope’s visit, to mitigate the otherwise cynical cloud that seems to pervade our lives from time to time.

Six Objects

The Whallonsburgh Grange has a lineup of speakers every bit as impressive as the title given to their lecture series— “A History of Everything in 6 Objects.” Every Tuesday in October, a speaker will pluck six objects from the field in which they specialize. Referencing their six selections, they will discuss and demonstrate the history, evolution and significance of things we might otherwise consider common. This Tuesday, Oct. 6, Gretel Schueller, a local journalist and food-writer, will be peeling away the histories of six related foods. It is no surprise she has selected food items for her talk. What will be interesting is which foods she has chosen and how she will link them to each other and our history. These show-and-tell-like presentations will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the grange located at 1610 on NYS Route 22, at Whallons Bay Road in Whallonsburg. Additional information can be found at www.thegrangehall.info. The price is $5 per lecture, and students are admitted free.

Grammy nominated musicians A Grammy-nominated duo who have played and recorded their Delta roots blues music in Chicago, Mali and Africa will soon add Saranac Lake to their list of distinguished venues. The musicians, Bill Sims and Matthew Skoller, have worked together for more than 14 years and have a stack of awards acknowledging their work. The tap on the shoulder from colleagues is nice, but wait until you hear the sound they have perfected: It’s a hint of old time blues layered with contemporary lyrics. It’s going to be a great show and you’ll be singing your own blues if you miss it. Make your reservations early by calling 891-3799 or make them online at admin@ bluseedstudios.org. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert starts at 7 p.m. Admission is $18 for the general public and $15 for BluMembers. The BluSeed Studios is located at 24 Cedar Street in Saranac Lake.

Mitchell sentenced to up to 7 years for role in prison escape Judge: “You did terrible things” By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The prison employee who helped two convicted murderers in their daring escape from a maximum security prison in June was sentenced to 2 1/3 to seven years in prison on Monday. Joyce Mitchell, 51, wiped away tears as she read from a prepared statement before her sentencing. “I can’t begin to explain how sorry I am for all of this,” said Mitchell, dressed in a prison jumpsuit and shackled at the arms and waist. “I’m 51-years-old and this is by far the worst mistake I have ever made in my life.” “You did terrible things,” said Judge Kevin Ryan. “A large percentage of the local population were terrorized — some had to flee their homes.” “I would wear an ankle bracelet at county jail for rest of my life if I could just go home to my family,” said Mitchell. Mitchell was immediately remanded into the custody of the state department of corrections. As requested by the state inspector general’s office, Mitchell may be required to pay nearly $120,000 in restitution costs stemming from repairs to the cell blocks from which the two convicted killers escaped. While total state overtime costs clocked in at $23 million, said Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie, Mitchell will not be liable for those costs due to state law. A restitution hearing has been set for Nov. 6. Mitchell, who worked as a supervisor at the prison’s tailor shop, pled guilty in July to smuggling hacksaw blades and a screwdriver bit to facilitate the escape of Richard Matt and David Sweat on June 6. The seamstress was originally supposed to drive a getaway car for the killers, but got cold feet at the last minute. On Monday, she told Ryan that she was living in fear of Matt, whom she said had dispatched people to watch her and her husband, Lyle, at all times. Lyle sat expressionless in the front row of the courtroom. After his wife was sentenced, a tear trickled down his cheek and he clenched his fists. He did not respond to questions from a reporter while leaving the courtroom. After a three-week manhunt throughout some of the most challenging terrain in the country, Matt, 49, was fatally shot by a federal agent on June 26 about 27 miles away from the prison.

Sweat, 35, was captured two days later about 2 miles from the Canadian border. While Sweat was originally scheduled to appear in Plattsburgh City Court on Tuesday to face felony escape charges, that case has been pulled from the docket. Wylie confirmed on Monday that his office is negotiating an agreement with Sweat attorney Joseph Mucia. “There are possibilities of a plea with David Sweat,” said Wylie. Like Mitchell, Sweat is also liable for paying a portion of the $119,762 in restitution costs. According to Wylie, the restitution issue is sticking on how it will affect Sweat’s commissary as he serves a life sentence. Sweat, who was serving a life sentence without parole at Clinton Correctional, faces a $5,000 fine and up to seven years prison added to his sentence on each of the three felony charges. One other prison employee has been charged in the escape. Correction officer Gene Palmer is accused of helping give contraband to the inmates and destroying evidence. Negotiations with his counsel are ongoing, said Wylie. Palmer remains free on bail. The district attorney said while he was glad the Mitchell saga is near closure, he doesn’t take much stock in her tearful apology to the court, calling it an “insult” to Matt and Sweat’s victims and law enforcement officials and their families. Mitchell wasn’t forthcoming with the truth until presented with the details during the investigation, said Wylie. Earlier, Ryan had said that he doubted Mitchell’s narrative

that her husband would be harmed if she exposed the escape plot. “I just don’t find that explanation credible,” said Ryan. Wylie also dismissed claims voiced by Mitchell attorney Steven Johnston prior to her sentencing that power tools were used during the escape, leaving the door open to a possible larger conspiracy. “We’ve investigated this issue in great detail,” said Wylie, who said the hacksaw blades that Mitchell provided directly led to the escape by cutting through walls and a steam pipe. Wylie also expressed disappointment that Mitchell’s crimes only garnered a maximum sentence of up to seven years. Asked what he felt would be a more appropriate sentence, Wylie paused: “Certainly a lot more than seven years.” Mitchell will be subject to a parole hearing before 2 1/3 years, said Wylie, and will be eligible for time served since her arrest on June 12. Despite the felony conviction, Mitchell will continue to receive her state pension. Any future profits derived from selling her story will be targeted by the state’s attorney general and inspector’s office to go towards restitution, said Wylie. It is not immediately known where Mitchell will serve her time. Upon admission to the state prison system, inmates remain at a reception facility for several weeks until a thorough series of tests and evaluations are completed and a decision is made as to which facility the inmate will be assigned to. The series of tests and evaluations consist of a physical and mental health review, educational screening, risk assessment and other standard examinations. At her sentencing, Mitchell admitted that she was undergoing mental health counseling. New York State Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott said she will continue to assist Wylie and provide clear evidence of the damages for which Mitchell is responsible. In a statement, Scott hailed the verdict and said her office’s upcoming investigation will detail how Mitchell spent months assisting the escape. Despite attempts to minimize her own culpability, Mitchell, said Scott, spent months assisting the prisoners plan and execute their escape not only by providing the tools, but “devising elaborate getaway plans and purposefully misleading law enforcement as two murderers evaded capture.” “With criminal intent, she used her position to abuse and manipulate systemic security lapses at the Clinton Correctional Facility,” said Scott.

Chris Moss, the Republican Party’s 2014 lieutenant gubernatorial candidate, said the GOP needs to focus more on appealing to women and embracing bipartisan ideas if they want to win back statewide offices in 2017.

a lot of women as not the party they want to be involved with,” said Moss, who praised Rep. Elise Stefanik as the type of leader that the party needs to showcase. “What a smart, fabulous woman,” said Moss. “A Republican.” Getting out the vote was also a problem that doomed the GOP, said Moss. The 2014 election had the worst voter turnout in 72 years, with less than one-third of the eligible voting population going to the polls. The Astorino-Moss ticket lost by 475,000 votes out of some 3.5 million cast. If 25 percent of Republicans had simply brought a friend to vote, said Moss, he would be the lieutenant governor. “That’s how close it was,” said Moss. While Astorino-Moss lost Essex County by about 1,000 votes, the pair won 42 of the state’s 62 counties. Moss, who serves as the Chemung County Sheriff, said he was also surprised that despite the widespread upstate opposition to the SAFE Act, the outrage failed to translate into votes. This can be attributed, he said, to the lack of a strong get out the vote effort. “Where were our gun owners?” said Moss. “An estimated four million people own guns in New York State, but yet only three million voted and we lost — we gotta find a way to concentrate.” Moss said Republicans also need to focus on organizational efforts in New York City and embracing bipartisan policy ideas. He hopes the newly-founded Reform Party, which grew from the 2014 campaign’s Stop Common Core line, will be used for all reform-minded candidates. “Other parties and candidates have good ideas,” said Moss, citing Gov. Cuomo’s DNA expansion bill as an example. “As Republicans, a lot of times we shun away from that, especially when you’re in state politics.” Moss, who has become a fixture in the state’s political speaking circuit, declined to say if he would take a shot at the state’s top office in 2017. He did, however, lament the fact that a number of high-profile corruption inquiries — including those surrounding former Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, former Speaker Sheldon Silver and allegations of Buffalo Billions bid-fixing — didn’t become public until after last November’s election. “The best thing we could hope for is an indictment on the governor,” said Moss. “It makes it an open playing field, and then I think you’ll see a really competitive race.”
