DEC to temporarily relocate High Peaks trailheads Parking, congestion leading to dangerous situation at popular hiking hotspots

Class sizes would remain small under potential merger, say consultants

ELIZABETHTOWN | The second in a series of merger study meetings pulled the Westport/Elizabethtown-Lewis Central review committee together last Wednesday. Data this session reviewed current and previous educational programming at each district and looked at what a combined school district might have for open time each week. The answer, if merged, matriculated programs at Westport and ELCS might free up

And as of late, the scenic stretch also contains hundreds of cars and ambling hikers squeezed between the narrow roadway and soaring cliffs. As visitation to the High Peaks continues to swell, the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) last week ordered the temporary closure and relocation of three popular trailheads for

the upcoming Columbus Day Weekend. Trailheads and parking for Cascade Mountain, Porter Mountain and the Pitchoff Mountain West will be relocated beginning at dusk on Thursday, Oct. 5 to the Olympic Regional Development Authority’s Mt. Van Hoevenberg Sports Complex, about 1.3 miles west of the current trailhead. » Trailhead Cont. on pg. 19

Westport resident heads to Puerto Rico for Hurricane Maria relief efforts Crown Point-based Avery Energy at forefront of relief efforts By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | As Puerto Rico digs

out after Hurricane Maria slammed the island last month, killing at least 16 people and wiping out the electricity grid, a local resident has shipped out to aid in recovery efforts. Simon Mitchell, a driver for the Crown Point-based fuel oil company Avery Energy, left for Puerto Rico on Monday. Mitchell’s truck is already on route: A barge containing vehicles, food, water and temporary housing for relief workers left

from the Port of Jacksonville in Florida last week on a six-day trip to the U.S. territory. “There’s quite a bit of uncertainty involved,” Mitchell told The Sun before he left. “But it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience the way I look at it. I’m nervous, but excited at the same time.” Mitchell recently returned from Florida, where Hurricane Irma made landfall earlier this month. The Westport resident made it as far as

the central part of the state, where he was a part of a fleet of drivers tasked with setting up a temporary depot to fill emergency response vehicles, including police cars, ambulances and fire trucks. Damage there was minimal, he said, mainly blown-down tree limbs. But others in his crew went to Key West where they saw the extent of the Category 5 hurricane’s damage firsthand. “There was boats capsized, RV parks with campers tipped over on their sides, roofs blown off — everything you can imagine was torn up,” said Mitchell. Avery Energy has longstanding ties to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. As the series of storms began to gather momentum in late-August, owner Will Deyo just wanted to slip away from work for two days to go camping. But it wasn’t meant to be, and he found himself in the campgrounds office doing FEMA paperwork. Within eight hours, one of his trucks was on the way to Florida.

Judge calls foul on Rail Trail plan Plan to rip up tracks between Lake Placid and Tupper has been halted By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

RAY BROOK | Franklin County Supreme Court Judge Robert Main ordered state agencies to scrap their $8 million plan to remove 34 miles of historic railroad line between Lake Placid and Tupper Lake. The state Department of Transportation and Department of Environmental Conservation’s revised 2016 Unit Management Plan for the Travel Corridor, Main said, is “annulled and vacated, it its entirety, and in each and every part...” The legal order, filed on Sept. 26, enjoins the state from proceeding with plans to remove the northern section of rails and says the state is “restrained from implementing the 2016 [Unit Management Plan] pending preparation and approval of a revised UMP that conforms with the instant decision, order and judgment.” Main’s ruling upholds a legal challenge brought by the Adirondack Rail Preservation Society on April 11, 2016 against DEC, DOT and the Adirondack Park Agency, alleging review and permit approval did not adhere to due process. The Rail Preservation Society halted operations at the northern end per DEC and DOT’s orders last fall and ended its Adirondack Scenic Railroad train excursions. The use by rail bikes of a small spur from Saranac Lake to Lake Clear was also closed as the recreation trail planning got underway. Rail Preservation Society Executive Director Bethan Maher said they have maintained the track through this unused season. “ARPS actively maintains both the operational and out of service tracks,” she said via email. “As far as what comes next — efforts will be made to reach out to the communities served along the rail transportation corridor to begin to build packages which will highlight local offerings and provide for increased economic impact.

CHAMPLAIN SENIOR

“The Adirondack Scenic Railroad will continue to play a vital role in the tourism industry of the region while continuing the preservation and restoration of the corridor.” In a news release, the Preservation Society said Main has taken a balanced and objective approach. “For our organization, this action has been a financial strain and has taken away resources from continuing to operate and expand a successful business,” the news release said. DEC Public Information Officer Benning DeLaMater said, “New York State is reviewing the decision by the Franklin County judge regarding the Remsen Lake Placid Travel Corridor Unit Management Plan (UMP).” It is unclear if the state will appeal the ruling. But DEC had released a draft conceptual plan of the “Adirondack Rail Trail” this past spring and held six public information sessions in early May. The draft outlined a 10-foot wide stone-dust tread for the entire 34-mile length of trail, according to DEC. It is designed to connect Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, providing opportunities to walk, hike and bike in three seasons and “cross-country ski, snowshoe, and snowmobile in winter, boosting local economies.” The draft plan incorporated recommendations from an Adirondack Rail Trail Stakeholder group. No tracks have yet been removed from the Travel Corridor between Tupper Lake and Lake Placid. DEC has been assigned the task to find funding for the $8 million recreational trail. The Supreme Court decision injects renewed furor into what has been an extremely divisive issue in the northern Adirondack Park. Historic preservation groups have sought to protect the line, which dates to the 1890s, while the Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates have spent years and uncounted hours lobbying to remove the rails and build a trail, one they hope someday will reach all the way to Thendara. Between 2011 and 2015, Trail Advocates garnered signatures from 13,000 people urging the state to design and build the recreation trail. Adirondack Rail Trail continues to raise funds for the project. ■ — To read this story in its entirety, visit suncommunitynews.com.

Runnin’ with the boys to a Ragnar championship Team Danger Zone conquers Ragnar-ADK By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

WILLSBORO | Last year, the six members of team Danger Zone received medals with the words “Almost First” inscribed on them. That was for finishing in second place at the 2016 Ragnar Adirondacks Relay event. The six ultra relay members — Sean, Liam and Mike Davis, along with Jay Fiegl, Matt Daly and Cole Starkey — will also receive medals for their efforts at this year’s events. But these medals won’t say “almost” on them. With an unofficial time of 22 hours, 17 minutes and 35 seconds, the team named after the Kenny Loggins smash hit from the “Top Gun” movie soundtrack took their place atop the podium as champions, proving there are no points for second best. “We were able to cut 15 minutes off of our time,” said Fiegl, who teaches and coaches boy’s modified soccer (Griffins) at Westport Central School. “The second place team (Cornell Running Club) was an hour behind and the next ultra team (TacoCat) was two hours behind.” “It was such an incredible feeling crossing the finish line,” team captain Sean Davis said. “There was no doubt that the team was maxed out at that point, so to finally see the finish line was a pretty incredible experience of exhausted euphoria. “At that point, we were pretty sure that we had won,” Davis added. “We knew we were in the last group to start and the other team that started with us was somewhere behind us and we were pretty sure that the teams that finished before us had started much earlier than us. But after last year, where at first we thought we had won — only to find out that we were actually second — we were not going to celebrate until the official results were out.” Danger Zone was also ahead of illustrious team names as “Lord of the Runs: Return of the Runs,” “All Aboard the Stupid Train,” and “Lost in Pace,” who helped to round out the top six team finishers. The team had to overcome some challenges to earn the prize as the Top Guns of Ragnar,

as Liam Davis, Sean’s brother, was dealing with a rock climbing incident. “Liam put in a remarkable performance given that he had suffered a rock climbing accident two weeks prior where he fell 49 feet and landed on his butt,” Sean said. “He managed to power through his first five legs but was forced to drop out of his sixth leg. The fact that he was out there at all was incredibly gutsy and a real inspiration to the team. When he couldn’t complete his final leg, the whole team rallied around him in support, and I was able to jump in and bring it home on the final stretch. Amazingly, even with Liam’s injury, we still beat our time from last year by 15 minutes.” The team also relied on its newest member, driver Jori Wekin, to help get the team through check points and keep them on task. “Jori was a huge addition to our team this year, having her to drive, handle the logistics and keeping track of our runners and projected finish times made life in the van so much easier,” Davis said.

RAGNAR CHALLENGE

The Ragnar-Adirondack Race begins in Saratoga Springs and ends in Lake Placid, with runners entering the Adirondacks and experiencing some of the harshest altitude changes of any Ragnar event in the country. “I got to run over Tongue Mountain, then take a break until Port Henry where I ran the eight-mile leg to Camp Dudley,” Fiegl said. “The other members of the team know I like to hike, so I guess that’s why I got the mountains.” And through it all, none of the six ultra team members ever lost that running feeling.

“ This team has been such a blast to race with over the last couple years,” Davis said. “These guys have been such a blast to race with. When I was getting the team together last year, I went into it looking for a fun group of guys that would enjoy the challenge of racing an Ultra. But I have been blown away that not only have we successfully completed these races, but that we’ve been competitive enough to finish second and first overall with a team that has virtually no experience racing this kind of event.” With the win, the Danger Zone will return to defend their title in 2018. “In addition to competing in the Adirondack Ragnar again next year, Danger Zone has

thrown around some ideas for some other races

so you’ll just have to stay tuned,” Davis said. ■

Local Ragnar teams fare well Abramo, Buehler lead squads through Adirondacks By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Several teams from the region took part in the annual Ragner Adirondack race Sept. 22-23, including Bettie’s Be Bandits, headed by captain Jess Buehler, and Ragnarly with captain Cena Abramo.

RAGNARLY

“My team of 12 ran the Ragnar Adirondacks for the second year,” said Abramo. “After last year, we were all so excited to do it again because of the positive sportsmanship, camaraderie, challenge and adventure of the race. All of the teams and volunteers are out to have a good time and support each other. This year we ran like crazy, laughed until our stomachs hurt, and cried a little too — but wouldn’t hesitate to do it all again!” Abramo said while their team was running, they were getting updates on how their “brother team,” Danger Zone, was doing. “We worked hard and had a blast, but weren’t necessarily a team that was in it to win it — just finishing was our goal,” she said. “It was super exciting to keep track of our local friends. They passed us in Lewis at about 3 a.m., as we started the race seven hours before them). I am in awe at the pace that they were able to keep for the entirety of the race.” Team members include Abramo, Deb Cleary, Michelle Maron, Dawn Gay, Valentina Rodriguez, Savannah Woods, Deirdre Forcier, Kristen Hatch, Andy Wekin, Erica Loher, Erin Hanczyk and Kate Ritter.

BETTIES BE BANDITS

For Buehler, the Ragnar has been a part of her running routine since 2012

when she was asked to join a team. “I was a little hesitant,” she said. “Running with a team from Saratoga to Lake Placid sounds like fun, but tight quarters in a van with five other women, only one of whom I knew — I wasn’t so sure about that. Still, I said yes, we had a few planning meetings, I got to know the team and off we went.” Buehler said that team — named Ladies of the Lake — and a core group stayed together under the same captain for 20132014 and some members from that team joined another partial team to run the Cape Code Ragnar in 2014. Buehler said she put a team together for the Ragnar Trail Series in 2015, which continued into the Adirondack race. “We’ve gone with a Betties theme,” she said. “This year we were Bettie’s Be Bandits as an all female 30-plus team.” Buehler said she enjoys the sense of team and accomplishment when running the annual event. “What I’ve found most rewarding about Ragnar, and would think most would agree, is the team camaraderie,” she said. “The Betties team is loaded with athletes that enjoy competing in a supportive, accepting environment. As a team of 12 we come together and put aside our regular, rigorous commitments of working, parenting and volunteering in our communities to accomplish a shared goal. It’s a great bonding experience.” The Betties scored a top three finish in the women’s submasters division with a time of 31 hours, eight minutes, giving members a goal for next year. “I know there are team members that are all in and, of course, I have a goal I’d like to accomplish,” said Buehler. Team members include Buehler, Angel Marvin, Lucianna Celotti, Jennifer Olcott, Stacy Hulbert, Nicole VanBuren, Lysandra DeZalia, Katie Byrne, Kate Whitney, Cassie Bailargeon, Kathleen Wiley and Terry Egglefield. ■

Stefanik: Scalise’s return an inspirational, unifying moment Stefanik urges unity in comments to Essex County GOP By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WESTPORT | Rep. Elise Stefanik (RWillsboro) believes the return of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) to the House this week speaks to the better nature of humanity and serves as a reminder that Americans can break free of the divisiveness that has taken hold across the country. “He said on the floor, ‘It wasn’t about me as an individual — it was a reminder that other countries look to the United States as an emblem of hope, and as a leader throughout the world,’” Stefanik said. Scalise spent 15 weeks in recovery after being critically wounded in June by a gunman at a congressional baseball practice. He gave a soaring speech to his House colleagues on Thursday, thanking the public for their support. “While some people might focus on a tragic event and an evil act, to me, all I remember are the thousands of acts of kindness and love and warmth that came out of this,” Scalise said. The congressman, who underwent nine surgeries, received condolences from global leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May. Stefanik, delivering comments at the Essex

County Republican Committee’s annual dinner in Westport on Saturday evening, urged attendees to watch the speech and draw inspiration from what she called a “historical moment.” “So I want you to watch that speech. Because despite all of the discourse that’s happening today, we need to continue to work together and I think this county is always a great example of doing that,” Stefanik said. The second-term lawmaker also noted the power of prayer: “So many people in this community when that happened, texted me saying they were praying for him, Republicans and Democrats,” Stefanik said. The lawmaker only gave policy a cursory mention during her brief comments. Following the defeat of the latest Republican-led effort to repeal “Obamacare” earlier this week, Congress and President Trump have pivoted to tax reform. Stefanik said on Wednesday that comprehensive tax reform is needed for a code that hasn’t been reformed since 1986. “Since that time, the tax code has grown to over 3 million words and 85,000 pages,” Stefanik said in a statement. “This suffocating bureaucracy and inefficiency stifles growth, kills jobs and costs hard working North Country families money that should be kept in their pockets.” Stefanik said she would continue to solicit feedback and input from constituents and businesses. “I believe that any tax reform plan should make the code flatter, fairer and simpler for families and businesses in our district, should allow middle class families to keep

more of their paychecks, and should lower taxes on our small businesses so that they can compete around the globe.” Despite the ennui in Congress, Stefanik appeared to be optimistic that Republicans continue to have a “unique opportunity” to craft and pass legislation owing to their control of Congress and the White House. The lawmaker asked attendees to boost support for Republican town and county candidates as they head towards next month’s general election. “I view this as a partnership, and while I’m focused on the federal issues, there’s so much that impact your communities that you hear from your constituents that we try to be a helping hand on,” Stefanik said.

RALLYING THE TROOPS

While not up for re-election until 2018, Stefanik already faces challengers from both sides of the aisle. “Elise, as everyone knows, has nine or 10 opponents already, and the election season doesn’t really begin until next year,” State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) told attendees on Satur-

day. “So I think that all of us need to work really hard to keep her name out there, talk about all of the good that she has done and the things that she’s been able to do for her constituents.” Little encouraged attendees to write letters to local newspapers with letters highlighting the lawmaker’s accomplishments, namely when it comes to constituent service. “You’ve got nine candidates out there getting their family and friends to write letters for them,” Little said. “We really need to flood the papers if you can, if you have time.” Little pumped up the crowd: “The nine of them are all going to kill each other and she’s going to win easily,” she said. Essex County Republican Committee Chairman Shaun Gillilland shared with Stefanik the reaction of U.S. Marine Corp Lieutenant General John A. Lejeune when told he was surrounded by Germans during a World War I naval skirmish. “And his answer was, ‘Good, they won’t get away from us now,’” Gillilland said. “And that’s how you should look at your opponents because you’re going to squash them like dead pumpkins.” ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Church dinners With all the world and national turmoil buzzing about, sometimes we forget the really important things By Dan Alexander that are happening • PUBLISHER • in our own backyard. There is nothing as important as a community that unites behind a common cause. Putting differences aside and focusing on a goal with a simple outcome. The good people in southeast Texas, the southern East Coast, Florida, the Keys and Caribbean Islands and especially those in Puerto Rico understand the value of community. Any community that has faced tough challenges understands that the basis for dealing with those challenges started long before the crisis hit. The connections made when communities come together to accomplish simple tasks like organizing a project as simple as a church dinner, service club event, school project, or community fair cannot be underestimated. It could be a car wash, a pancake breakfast or a community festival. It begins with a brave few who step forward to take the lead and champion the event. The word goes out for volunteers. Community members across all spectrums chip in donating time, supplies, labor, prizes and all forms of support. Planning, marketing, logistics, shopping, cooking, preparations for setting up the venue and servers all rally around the event to ensure success. Neighbors from far and wide lend their financial support by coming out to enjoy being part of something larger than self. At these events, we come to better understand the connections that bind us together and the tremendous value of a unified community. The value of spending time with our neighbors at events like these are what prepare us when tough times and tragedy strikes home and we know they arrive when we least expect them such as the horrific event in Las Vegas last Sunday night. The process of organizing and planning over and over throughout the years allows the community the opportunity to know many things about their neighbor’s skill sets and resources. All of which will be relied upon when it counts the most. The online world certainly has its place in today’s society, but nothing can replace the face-to-face smile and helping hand that occurs between neighbors when they share their efforts and breaks bread with a new found friend or lifelong pal while joining in the community effort. It is events like these that make all communities the very special places we call home. ■

Guest viewpoint Immigrant deportations as a humanitarian crisis By Robert Harsh, Champlain Valley Friends of Refugees GUEST V IEW POINT

The number of illegal immigrants seeking asylum status across the Canadian border north of Plattsburgh will this month likely exceed 4,000, including Haitians whose temporary asylum here following hurricane devastation and epidemic in Haiti is now ending. As a result, Canadian authorities are currently rushing to find and erect temporary housing for fleeing immigrants. The humanitarian consequences for illegal immigrants and their families facing deportation are deeply disrupting and troubling. Immigrant children born in the United States are citizens of this country (“birthers”) and may therefore be separated from their families and sent to orphanages in the U.S. as their parents are forced back across the border. At the same time, industries that have employed undocumented aliens at minimal wages without benefits or adequate health care are already experiencing a lack of workers as immigrants — typically hard-working and law-abiding — are arrested and deported. (Locally, substantial numbers of illegal immigrants work on farms in Vermont and slate factories on the Vermont/New York border further south near Granville.) Churches, service agencies, concerned individuals and legal organizations are working to address these issues, including St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Fort Edward;

an organization of immigration lawyers (Capital Region Immigration Collaborative) in Albany; the Volunteer Lawyers Project in Buffalo, and individual citizens willing to shelter immigrants in their homes along their journeys out of the country. In addition, our local Champlain Valley Friends of Refugees in April hosted a rally at the Underground Railroad Museum in Keeseville to highlight the inhumanity of Trump exclusionary policies and ICE-enforced deportations — now increased nationwide by 40 percent — for even traffic and other minor offenses. Most recently, the protected DACA status of over 800,000 young illegal immigrants (the Dreamers) has been suspended by President Trump pending an action by Congress in the next six months to preserve the program. And while numerous colleges have voiced support for their DACA students and refused to aid in their identification and deportation, ICE searches and seizures have left even these legal immigrants in jeopardy of sacrificing their educations and jobs. Our volunteer Friends of Refugees organization (website at adirondack-friends-ofrefugees.com), which since January 2016, has focused mostly on activities and services for vetted refugees settled in the Burlington, Vermont area, is now moving forward to also address the urgency of immigrant deportation issues generally and locally at the Canadian border just north of Plattsburgh. We are confident that many local residents

Thanks for the hyper-partisanship

To the Editor: The Sun Community News Editorial Board opinion from Sept. 30 seems to suggest that the hyper-partisanship that currently exists in our country is a result of the past nine months of a Donald Trump presidency. I would suggest that the past nine years is the time frame that has created this unhelpful, and perhaps dangerous, level of hyper-partisanship. Th is started during the tenure of Barack Obama and quite possibly was planned. It’s become clear over a period of years that Washington D.C. is no longer acting in the best interest of most Americans and is a complete mess, both parties. Voters responded to this by electing Donald Trump, probably out of frustration and perhaps not entirely confident of the outcome, but it was preferable to the Clinton deceit dynasty and a likely progressive left Supreme Court which would have been a huge game changer. Since the election of Trump, the progressive left, led by their mainstream media, has been in total meltdown in their efforts to destroy Trump. They were so close to a socialist type progressive victory, but it slipped away and now we have continuing hair on fire hyper-partisanship. I submit that Donald Trump hasn’t given us this mess, but rather this mess has given us Donald Trump. The Democrat left is in no mood to wait and see if it works out, so they obstruct and attack, the Republicans dither, and we Americans wait and wonder. ■ Ken Fenimore, Elizabethtown

have felt moved to address these issues while others can connect with efforts already in place in the region and with the resources and interactive conversation available on this website. Meanwhile, others who oppose this perspective and these efforts will instead argue that illegal immigrants are in fact “getting what they deserve” in choosing unauthorized entry into the country to take jobs away from native workers. (Jamaican workers picking apples locally enter the country lawfully and seasonally through a government-administered foreign worker program.) There are, indeed, determined, logical, and heartfelt arguments on both sides of this issue, though the crime rate among illegal Mexican immigrants — whom President Trump has characterized as “rapists” and “bad hombres” — has consistently remained lower than that of native citizens. Nevertheless, an act of illegal immigration is still a crime in this narrowed battlefield of contending perspectives, and perhaps this bitter debate will continue undiminished as long as comprehensive, fair-minded reform of immigration laws remains on the Congressional back burner. In the meantime, the poorest and most desperate of our immigrant neighbors and their children will continue to pay a nearly unbearable cost of living in their working and family lives among us. ■ — Bob Harsh is a guest contributor and his views do not reflect the opinion of the Sun Community News Editorial Board.

Give Stefanik a break

To the Editor: I am astounded at what is going on in our country and especially here locally. We have gone from a proud free country to a land of bickering and obstinacy. Locally, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is being branded and opposed before she even commits to a position. On the repeal and replace bills, she stated she has not seen the Senate version, and until she does, she will not commit to a vote yea or nay. I would hope that everyone understands this position. I personally don’t want anyone in office that would automatically vote for or against anything before knowing the content. It is easy to get headlines by the “sticks and stones” kids games, but isn’t it better to save the name calling and playground antics until you have a real issue? I have known Stefanik since she first ran, was impressed then and now with her ability to see the entire picture and take whatever stand she feels best suits her constituents. If you buy a house, you can be sure it will not have all of the facets you want or desire — the same is true for the bills that come before our government officials to vote on. Our representatives must make an educated decision on what does the most good and the least harm in what is before them. I believe Stefanik has demonstrated just this and will continue to represent the North Country in the best interests of the citizens she represents. ■ Richard Cutting, Elizabethtown » Letters Cont. on pg. 7

It’s not about the money. Shelters take in more than six million animals every year, and because there aren’t enough good homes for all of them, about half must be euthanized. Every time we purchase a puppy from a breeder or pet store, it denies a home to a dog in a shelter whose life may depend on being adopted. Purchasing puppies not only exacerbates the homeless-animal overpopulation crisis, it supports the cruel puppy mill industry. Puppies raised at these mass-breeding factories are denied companionship, exercise, and adequate veterinary care. It’s why dogs sold at pet stores, who typically come from mills, are often sickly and difficult to socialize. There’s no need to shop around. Shelters offer all the love and companionship we need. ■ Craig Shapiro, PETA Foundation, Norfolk, VA

Concerns over rail car storage plan

To the Editor: We are very concerned with the Iowa Pacific’s plan to move and store old rail cars in the Adirondack Park. They tried this scheme in the past, but were stopped when the public and the Warren County Board of Supervisors objected. The rail company has not lived up to their promises made in the contract. The only profitable use of the rail corridor north of North Creek this year has been for recreation, including the Revolution Rail Company rail bikes. The recreational use of the rail corridor is obviously the future. Anyone who has been on the rail trail between Lake George and Glens Falls knows how popular it is and how it is used by both residents and tourists. We recently biked the P’tit Train du Nord in Canada. One night, we stayed at a bed and breakfast in a small town about the size of Minerva. The owner opened the business there three years ago because of the rail trail and told us that almost all his business comes from the P’tit Train. He said that approximately 400,000 people, both residents and tourists, use the rail trail each year. It’s used by bicyclists, walkers, snowmobilers and skiers. It’s an economic engine for that region. With a rail trail between Saratoga and North Creek, we could have a similar economic engine here. We will lose that potential if the old cars make their way here for storage. Instead of economic opportunity, we’ll have a junk yard. The Warren County Board of Supervisors should do everything in its power to keep this storage plan from happening. The board needs to find a way, and quickly, to stop the movement of the old cars on the county-owned tracks. ■ Richard and Anne Morse, Warrensburg

Stop the cruel puppy mill industry

To the Editor: Reports of an online scam in which consumers who are shopping for puppies are being duped out of their payments are a reminder that we should never purchase our animal companions — online or from a pet store or breeder.

country be ruled after the war is won? What will be America’s role in Afghanistan then?

Finally, Mr. President, do you have specifics to back up anything you say? Leadership in a democratic society requires a grasp of factual details to clarify one’s political/ governmental positions.

Let’s be real: ‘Bloviator in chief’ creating fissures in body politic

To the Editor: Let’s get one thing cleared up: The protests started by Colin Kaepernick and others have nothing to do with the flag. It is a protest over the many instances of police shootings of unarmed black people. Prior to cell phones, there was always some question as to the veracity of people who claimed the police were overreacting when someone was shot by the police. There is no doubt now that the police are, at times, using excessive force. If you were as interested in helping bring people together over these issues, you would have called for a discussion of the issue of police procedures and even perhaps some clarification in the laws over the lengths police could go when stopping a suspect. Instead you put on your snark hat and wrote “when we can’t even put aside our differences for a few hours to watch athletic millionaires concuss each other.” I find this sentiment pathetic. Our “bloviator in chief ” only jumped on the issue to create a fissure in the body public and to shore up his popularity with his supporters. Your editorial just assisted in the division. Thanks for nothing. ■ Scott Scharhag, Champlain, NY

Frankly, we just love to compare the real, veriﬁable numbers, because when we do, the competition simply shrinks like a raisin! We are so conﬁdent in our weekly circulation facts, we’ll give $1,000 to any local charity for any other print media who can prove their weekly circulation comes even close to how many homes The SUN reaches in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Warren Counties.

Proposal 3 heads to voters “Forest Preserve Land Bank Amendment” will be on November ballot By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | It’s go time for supporters of Proposal 3. Voters in November will decide if they will support the “Forest Preserve Land Bank Amendment.” If approved on the ballot, the state will create a 250-acre “Health and Safety Land Account” in the Adirondacks and Catskills to aid municipalities with routine infrastructure and communications projects on state land.

Elizabethtown Social Center

Pickleball Almost everyone has now heard of the pickleball trend. This relatively new game has burst into By Arin Burdo the fitness scene, • COLUMNIST • continuing to grow more popular every year. Though the name may sound silly, pickleball is a fun sport for all ages and abilities that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It can be played indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a modified tennis net with a paddle and a plastic ball similar to a wiffle ball. Though the game can become very competitive for those who enjoy a fast pace, many players enjoy the social aspects of the game and the ability to stay casually active. The social center offers two outdoor pickleball courts on Lawrence Way. As daylight hours shorten, the center partners with Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School to offer an indoor option for our local pickleball enthusiasts. We appreciate ELCS’s willingness to afford access to our community members who wish to stay active through the colder months. Open adult pickleball is held in the school auditorium on Mondays at 5:30 p.m. beginning Oct. 16. More information about open adult pickleball at ELCS can be found on the center website or in the Facebook group “Social Center Pickleball and Tennis.” A free beginner platform tennis clinic will be offered on Saturday, Oct. 14, at 1 p.m. at the social center platform court on Lawrence Way. Experienced platform tennis players will offer a demo game and teach the basics. Equipment is provided; no experience with racket sports is necessary. The rain date will be Saturday, Oct. 21, at 1 p.m. Please contact the Center for more information or to register for the clinic. This month, Karin DeMuro offers yoga on Oct. 2, Oct. 16 and Oct. 30, at 4:30 p.m. There will not be a Monday yoga class on Oct. 9 and Oct. 23. Details can be found at elizabethtownsocialcenter.org and on facebook. Contact the social enter at elizabethtownsocialcenter.org or 518-873-6408. ■ — Elizabethtown Social Center, a weekly column by Director Arin Burdo, highlights social center events and opportunities.

Wide-scale infrastructure projects are becoming increasingly common in the Adirondacks, from broadband installation, culvert and water system replacements to bridge repair and the creation of new recreational trails. But at present, the state constitution must be amended each time in order for municipalities to access Forest Preserve, a process that must be approved by two consecutive legislatures. The process can take up to three years. Passage of Proposal 3 is critical to ensuring public safety, say stakeholders, including the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages (AATV), who is leading the public outreach effort. “All of our communities have, in some way, struggled with state Forest Preserve,” said Jerry Delaney, director-at-large with the AATV. Past efforts have included telephone repair work along a railroad bed on Route 86 between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, and upgrades to power lines Tupper Lake in 2009. It’s expected more work will be required as National Grid attempts to shore up their infrastructure following a series of power outages in the Tri-Lakes area last summer. Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber said county officials have been struggling to widen a county road near the north side of Piseco Lake to accom-

modate the influx of summertime visitors to three state-owned campsites, including kids on bicycles. “National Grid couldn’t get permission from the (state Department of Environmental Conservation) to even put anchors for the poles on the Forest Preserve as new installations,” Farber told New York NOW last week. The project remains uncompleted. “Those are the health and safety issues we’re really trying to address,” Farber said. Another high-profile project is the replacement of the Middletown Bridge in Warren County. The project has been stuck in neutral for seven years because the county doesn’t own the land, about two-tenths of an acre. Proposal 3 has widespread support, and has been endorsed by a broad coalition of environmental and business groups, elected officials and legislative leaders. “It’s a land bank,” said state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury). “It’s for municipalities, it’s not for private developers.” If approved, localities will work with the DEC to facilitate purchase of state-owned land — but only if there are no alternatives for the projects. “It’s going to be as parceled out as small as possible,” Delaney said.

North Country SPCA

The state would then deposit the sales price into an account to purchase land elsewhere, not necessarily in the same community. Legislative approval will still be required via a vote of passage. Proposals are located on the backs of the ballots — but don’t expect poll workers to remind you: They’re prohibited from doing so. “People really need to know what this is about before going into the booth,” said North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore. There are three proposals on the ballot, and advocates are concerned that controversy stemming from Proposal 1 — if the state should convene a constitutional convention — will cause voters to conflate the two issues. “We’re really nervous with all the campaigns saying ‘vote no’ on the constitutional convention,” said Little. “And it’s not clear from the writing on the ballot that it’s for the Adirondacks and Catskills,” Delaney said. Both the state Senate and Assembly approved the legislation in consecutive legislative sessions. The statewide referendum is on Nov. 7.

Six county regional HAZMAT training

The clock read 5 a.m. I was already awake and thinking about the day ahead. It’s Sept. 16, and training is scheduled in the North Country. The black Essex County HAZMAT By Rich Redman diesel pickup pulled into the driveway • COLUMNIST • and off I went with a group of guys up to Franklin County for a yearly multi-county Hazmat training session. We pulled into the Fort Covington Fire Department joining up with firefighters, hazmat technicians, EMTs, Franklin County Sheriffs, New York State Police, CSX railroad staff and Department of Homeland Security personnel. The parking lot was filled with fire engines, Hazmat trucks and trailers, squad cars and EMS vehicles. High “T” was flowing; no prescription was needed by the guys here. This was no back yard local yokel incident we were going to participate in. This was the real deal; a fullfledged incident railroad training to prepare the group of us to work and train together, find our weak links, solve problems and prepare for the real event; an event we hope never happens, but odds are, it will someday. It was a humid 80 plus degree day and donning a level A plastic bubble suit with an air pack strapped on your back was not something we were really excited to do. There were thoughts of picnics with acoustic music, fishing or sailing out on Lake Champlain and enjoying a few adult beverages under a shade tree in many of our heads, as preferred adventures, but we are committed neighbors that care about our community, so we do what we do. Some were paid firefighters like the Glens Falls (Warren County), Plattsburgh (Clinton) and Ogdens-

burg (Saint Lawrence) teams, while others are paid through work, like the International Paper team, part of Essex County’s Hazmat Team. Volunteer teams consisted of Essex, Washington, and Franklin County along with EMS assistance from Bombay. Whether paid or volunteer, it doesn’t matter. We are all on the same regional team working as one. Once the initial signing in and safety briefing was completed, we headed to the training location. The site was alongside the CSX railroad tracks where there was a mock railcar leak. At long range and up wind, it was determined by binoculars that the railcar was leaking chlorine based on the signage on the rail tank car and the color of the gas plume. Simulated smoky chlorine gas was the leaking from under the railcar. Chlorine gas is deadly and can kill if inhaled. This meant a level A chemical spill suit with a selfcontained breathing apparatus would be needed by entry teams. It was also noted that three victims were near the car, immobilized by the vapors (the victims for training purposes are Rescue Randy dummies). While the command was organizing teams, the decontamination (DECON) tent was set up. No one enters a contaminated hot zone site until all components of decon are set up. Once decon was ready, the reconnaissance team did the initial entry to check on the victims and radio back to command what the next entry teams would need for equipment to remove the victims and control the leak. If a victim was able to move on their own they would be helped out. If not, they would be strapped down to a plastic sked and two level A suited team members would pull them to the DECON site to be decontaminated and medically evaluated. Due to the heat and extreme humidity, entry teams were only on air and on site for no longer than twenty minutes before they went into the DECON area. Once the suit was cleaned of any chemicals, it was taken

off and the teams went to rehab and medical to be checked out. Hydration was a big factor, so plenty of water was needed. I was with the last team (Essex County) to go in. Greg Quain and I extricated the last body from the leaking car. We carried it off the tanker and set it on the sked, strapped it down and pulled it to the DECON area.

Once we got into the shade and out of our greenhouse effect, humidified sweat steaming level A suits, and air packs we breathed cool fresh air, chilled out, and went through the medical check. Blood pressure, body temperature, pulse rate and oxygen level all checked out OK. We were good to go another day. After a briefing and evaluation, we had a meal and returned to base. It was a good day, not quite a picnic at the beach, but for the dedicated group of guys and gals who take this serious; it was a very good day and well spent. Power nap time! P.S. Tom and Jeannette: Sorry I didn’t make it to your picnic. I was a little busy! ■

Griffin alumni game returns Second year for Westport, ELCS alum to play in soccer game By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | For the second year, Griffins of the old school, current school and new school will take to the pitch at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central in the EPIC Alumni night Saturday, Oct. 7. “Last year it was awesome weather and a great experience for all involved,” said ELCS Athletic Director Paul Buehler, a part of EPIC (Encouraging Pride and Involvement sweat- Club) who has organized the evening.

“It evolved with the goal of getting people together and at events in the community,” Buehler said. “One way we felt we could do that was to use sports as a venue, and with the Griffin program, it’s a chance to meet with people from both school districts and the people that have been involved made all the difference.” Events will begin at 6 p.m. as the Griffins boy’s varsity team will take on Crown Point in a Northern Soccer League inter-conference game. At approximately 6:45 p.m., there will be a biddy soccer exhibition at the field, followed by the second half of the game between the Griffins and Panthers. Following the varsity game, the alumni will take to the field, with students who graduated from ELCS and WCS in even-numbered years taking on grads from odd-numbered years.

ELCS and Westport are using the same instructional materials in English Language Arts programs and in Mathematics. A marked discrepancy comes in attending technology programs at CV-Tech campuses. About 40 percent of the combined junior and senior classes at ELCS are enrolled in tech programs. In Westport, 18.5 percent of the combined junior and senior classes are enrolled in tech programs. “Career and technical programs are available to your students and you can see the number of students taking advantage of them,” Pole said. In parsing classes offered in each school with the number of students in each grade, the study found 73 percent of classes in Westport seat less than 10 students, while 33 percent of classes at ELCS seat less than 10 students. It is a factor of how the courses are broken out to accommodate honors students and AIS assistance along with variations in class offerings. Even with a merger, Pole said, no class would have more than 20 students. Pole explained that there is nothing at all wrong with the way the schools have organized their

The next merger committee meeting, which will discuss facilities, is Oct. 25 at WCS. A tour of district facilities will begin at 5:15 p.m. with the meeting starting at 6 p.m. Additional sessions are set up for Dec. 6 at ELCS (Transportation); Jan. 24 at WCS (Staffing) and Feb. 28, 2018 at ELCS (Finances). The plan will formally be presented to both school boards on April 25 at WCS.

Seasonal water district seeks options

district and it seemed there was nearunanimous support,” said Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland. “Right after the meeting, we started getting letter after letter and calls coming in against it. Owners of at least 10 properties out of the 40 affected said they would fight it.” After weighing its options, the Willsboro Town Council decided to go back to the drawing board and come up with options, which Gillilland expects to have soon. “We asked the engineer to make another report and provide an alternative as to what would happen if we allowed opt-outs,” Gillilland said.

WILLSBORO | A proposed new water district on Willsboro Point is getting a new review after several homeowners said they wanted nothing to do with it. The proposed seasonal water district would service residents on Bay Lane, which is currently fed water through the Willsboro Bay Water Company. “We had a public hearing on the

such as digital photography, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design and the reduction of elementary art to once a week. Cuts at Westport included classes in stress management, AP Biology, creative movement, women’s literature, photography, sociology, psychology and business classes for Accounting I and Accounting II, along with marketing and business communications. ELCS has added course electives in that time: Fitness, College for Every Student, Consumer Math, Digital Journalism and French for Grade 6. Both schools have cut more than 15 staff, teaching and advisor posts in the past seven years. The meeting updated enrollment data provided last month, particularly to clarify non-resident student attendance. Bill Silky explained that ELCS does not allow non-resident students to tuition in. But staff at the school can choose to enroll students there. At Westport, tuition is $1,200 for non-resident students. And this year there are 37 out-of-district students attending WCS, Silky said. Twelve are from families that live in Elizabethtown, and five are children of district teachers. About 12 residents from the districts attended to listen in. ■

schedules and classes to fit. “Scheduling flexibility is a challenge in small schools,” he said of the comparison between class size and the number of courses offered. “You could bring in (data) from any two other schools around here and they would have the same issue.” Data is collected for elementary, middle, high school and special education programming at both schools. Grade configurations vary slightly between the two districts, with Westport running elementary from kindergarten through sixth grade and ELCS from kindergarten to fifth grade. Westport puts middle school at grades seven and eight, while ELCS considers secondary school grades six through 12. Special area subjects also vary, as Westport provides two 40-minute programs per week of music for elementary students with ELCS offering one 40-minute period. Westport offers two 40-minute periods of art for elementary students as well, compared to one 40-minute class per week at ELCS. In physical education, ELCS provides five 40minute periods for elementary students per week, where Westport provides four. The research compared assessment test data and Regents test results, with some information still missing for last year’s testing. For Common Core Regents last year, for example, no data from Westport was included in the chart. But in 2015-16, 26 students took Common Core English Regents at ELCS and 38 percent scored at level 5: 85 percent or higher. The same year, 20 students took Common Core English at Westport, and 75 percent scored at level 5: 85 percent or higher. The programming discussion also looked at program reductions and additions at each school since 2010. Cuts at ELCS included half-year art electives,

Gillilland said those against the system already had their own sources for water. “Some of the property owners have their own wells, some are just land lots with no houses and some have their own system and are drawing straight from Lake Champlain,” he said. “They do not want to be burdened with the costs of a water district.” The supervisor also said the town looked at holding a referendum on the project, but foresaw some issues. “Some of these people are not registered voters in Willsboro,” Gillilland said. “New York case law says property owners get to vote, but how do you do that? “Also, we are at the end of the summer season, so if you were to hold a vote now how do you get those who have left town in to vote? If you have absentee voting, the voting option started to become massively complex.” ■

Currently, there is a town water main on Bay Lane, supplying water to the Willsboro Bay Water Company. “The town put in the water main to a manifold and sold the town water at wholesale to the company,” Gillilland said. He added the owners of the company are looking to retire from the business, so the town offered to look at ways to transfer the service into their hands. “Moves like this are not

unprecedented,” Gillilland said. “We had seasonal residents who were afraid they would lose water service so we stepped in and offered to look at the system.”

“We also wanted to look at if landowners could then get back into the system for a fee, along with paying their back share of the debt service.” Gillilland said once the report is received, the town will consider all options and move forward. “We want to get something done as soon as possible,” he said. “This is something that affects seasonal residents and they are starting to leave for the winter.”

Dutchess County exec outlines potential gubernatorial campaign in Essex County “I am thinking about running for governor of the state of New York,” Marc Molinaro tells Essex County Republicans By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WESTPORT | Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro said it’s typical for aspiring political candidates surfing the statewide circuit to tell audiences that their respective counties are close to their hearts. But seriously: Essex County holds a special place in his heart. After winning the election in 2011, Molinaro learned his predecessor left him with a $40 million budget gap and a degraded bond rating. “So I decided to drive all the way to Lake Placid to get drunk,” Molinaro told the crowd at the Essex County Republican Committee’s annual dinner on Saturday. A fine place, he said. But, he said: “Bobsledding in your bathing suits? I don’t understand.” Molinaro admitted he’s a jokester, much to the chagrin of his kids. But he’s dead serious about weighing a run for governor. “Yes, I am thinking about running for governor of the state of New York,” he said. Molinaro, who turns 42 on Sunday, kicked the tires of a possible campaign, cycling through many of the Republican criticisms of Gov. Andrew Cuomo: The Empire State is the most highly taxed state in the country, leading to an exodus. The tax burden is killing businesses, and state subsidies of large corporations as part of the Regional Economic Development Council program is not an antidote for the sluggish economy. “That is not sustainable economic development,” Molinaro said. “You cannot continue to take millions upon millions of dollars from New York state taxpayers and give it to one or two select businesses and hope that it is going to grow jobs.” Molinaro was on fire — nearly literally, as a heat lamp flared behind him in the chilly air — as he lobbed cruise missiles, accusing the second-term governor of consolidating power and allowing a culture of corruption to thrive. “It used to be three men in a room,” he said. “Now it’s one making most of the decisions, consolidating power and resources around one single person — the governor. That is not acceptable in a democracy.” First elected as a Tivoli village trustee at 18, and mayor a year later, Molinaro highlighted a career spent in the trenches of government, touting a record of fiscal responsibility, cost-cutting and replenishing his county’s fund balance. “We’re now the smallest county workforce in 35 years and were able to eliminate 112 jobs without laying off a single person,” he said. Molinaro, who also served as a state assemblyman, said that political experience might not be a bad thing. “It may not be politically correct, but I have spent every day of my adult life in elected office, and it wouldn’t be so bad if we elected a governor who actually understood the way government is supposed to function,” he said. The prospective candidate, who received food stamps as a kid after his parents split up, said Republicans need to emphasize with working class voters, learn how to speak their language and convey how they will improve the lives of the average person. “If we’re not reaching out beyond our boundaries and borders, we will not win. And if we don’t present candidates that truly send the message that we care about the people we serve — that we are responsible to the people we serve — we will never win statewide again,” he said. A spokesman for Cuomo did not immediately respond for comment. Franklin County Republican Committee Chairman Ray Scollin told The Sun the committees in Essex, Franklin and Clinton counties are working to bring more potential gubernatorial candidates to the North Country. Scollin cited Harry Wilson, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino (who secured the nomination in 2014), state Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb and state Sen. John DeFrancisco as other prospective Republican candidates. “It’s been a conversation between the three counties to bring them up here and give people access,” Scollin said.

Cuomo, a Democrat, is running for a third-term in 2018. With a series of big-ticket progressive accomplishments paired with an increasingly outspoken stance against President Donald Trump giving the governor an increased national profile, the governor has been stoking speculation that he’s eyeing the White House in 2020. He also made trips to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico last week to survey hurricane damage. But Cuomo continues to shoot down all innuendo: “The Virgin Islands, I don’t even believe they vote for president. So if you’re running for president, there are a lot of other places to go besides the Virgin Islands — like Florida would probably be where you would have gone,” he told the WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show” last month. ■

New Jay playground to open Oct. 7 Playground part of Grove Gale-Pattno Park area By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

AU SABLE FORKS | The town of Jay will celebrate a new playground for youngsters

with food and festivities Saturday, Oct. 7. The playground, located at the Francis M. Pattno and John F. Gale Memorial Park, will give youth options for playtime, as it will be surrounded by several community athletic fields, as well. “We wanted to have a playground located within the area where our town ball fields were,” said Carol Greenley. “The DPW has

been putting the playground together and we are down to just getting the bedding spread.” The ribbon cutting is set for 11 a.m., followed by live music, food (hotdogs, chips, etc.) and activities. The playground was made possible through a grant from the New York State Department of Parks and Recreation, which was awarded back in 2015.

“When Randy Douglas was supervisor, he and Essex County wrote for the funding and it was awarded,” Greenley said. “We went from there and narrowed down what equipment we wanted and working to get everything in place.” For more information, contact the Jay town offices at 518-647-2204. ■

Keeseville VFD audit urges more review Comptroller says better job needs to be done with oversight By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

KEESEVILLE | The local volunteer fire department was asked to keep better watch over its financial records in an audit released by the state Comptrollers Office last week.

The audit, which traced department financial records from Jan. 1, 2015 to Jan, 31, 2017, found that department officials did not deposit or account for all donations received or deposit money received from fundraisers and lounge sales. They also found deposits totaling approximately $158,300 were not supported by adequate documentation. Also, department officials did not approve 499 disbursements totaling $63,010 before payment was made.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

The comptrollers office offered the following recommendations for corrective action: • The department needs to review bank statement and canceled check images; • The department needs to ensure that all collections are supported with adequate documentation and deposited; • The department should review and approve all disbursements before

payment, in accordance with the bylaws.

KVFD TO ABIDE

In their response letter, the department said it agreed with the findings and would put corrective actions into place. “Once notified that the Comptroller’s office would be doing an audit, the department officers agreed that this would be good for the department,” the letter said. “This audit would point out deficiencies in the department bookkeeping, and we would be able

to take corrective actions.” The department said while they thought they had done adequate accounting in some areas, they agreed with the comptroller’s report stating more needed to be done. “(We) will assure documentation meets the standard desired by the Comptroller’s office,” the letter stated, which was signed by KVFD president Daniel Costin, Chief Michael Stranahan and Treasurer Gary Friedrich. ■

New York State Police and the Essex County Sheriff’s Office will enforce the ban and issue tickets when necessary. “Those who are not in compliance may be ticketed or their vehicles may be towed,” said New York State Police Troop B Commander Major John Tibbitts in a statement. State agencies put out multiple statements alerting hikers to the closures, including materials in French to target Canadians, whose Thanksgiving coincides with the holiday weekend.

expect to have much contact. It’s 45 days, and could be longer.” Mitchell, Deyo said, is making a big sacrifice — especially considering how much time he’s already put in. Since Hurricane Maria slammed into the island on Sept. 20, a humanitarian crisis has emerged as millions remain without water, food and access to basic health services. Joining federal efforts, New York has played

a leading role in recovery operations, deploying the national guard, state police and shipments of supplies as part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Empire State Relief and Recovery Effort — including a deployment of 72 Port Authority personnel Friday morning. The Empire State is home to about 1.2 million Puerto Ricans, and the governor visited the island earlier this week. “We are responsive both as Americans and

in this state,” Cuomo said. “In Puerto Rico, they are American citizens we have to remember. Virgin Islands, they are American citizens. So we respond as Americans, and in New York, we respond as New Yorkers.” Deyo has long been involved in state and local charitable efforts. “We love to be a part of anything we can do to help in the community, and in this case, the world,” he said. ■

was pleased the DEC was taking action to address the mounting public safety concerns. “The Cascade Mt. trailhead is presently a parking hazard and nightmare,” Politi said in a statement. Keene Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson likened the stretch to a “dangerous gauntlet” on busy summer days. Problems aren’t limited to just those trailheads. During the warm weather rush, Keene Valley often sees blocked driveways and fire hydrants, and Adirondack Street and Johns Brook Road can be so congested that emergency can’t get through, Wilson NOTICE vehicles OF PUBLIC wrote inNotice a letter submitted to the AdironHEARING is hereby given that a earlier Public this summer. dack Explorer Hearing for the Proposed 2018 Budget Adirondack Wildfor Staff Partner Dan Plumley Essexthe Fireclosure Districtwas #2 important. said will be held on Tuesday, October 17, 2016 at dangerous situation,” “It’s been a quite 6:30 PM at the “It’s WhalPlumley said. a bold step.” lonsburg Fire Department, 1637 NYS Route Plumley said the number of visitors has 22, Essex, NY.

last summer, Plumley said, when the group began to witness what he referred to as a “sea change” in intensity of use on these areas. The temporary closures, he said, will hopefully be the start of a broader dialogue about examining the High Peaks Wilderness Unit Management Plan if the closures ever become permanent. “It’s again time for diverse citizen stakeholders to gather and help DEC to manage the High Peaks for the benefit of the Wilderness resource and future generations,” Plumley said. Wilson said Route 73 needs to be treated as an interconnected system from Exit 30 of the Adirondack Northway in North Hudson to the ski jumps in North Elba. “The highway cuts through a number of different UMPs and towns, but it needs to be considered on its own,” Wilson wrote. To do so will take a joint effort from a coalition of agencies, user groups, local governments, state government and private landowners, he said.

Stakeholders are calling for the state to boost staffing for Forest Rangers to accompany the sustained state-sponsored tourism promotional efforts and acquisition of state land. “I think everyone is appreciative that Gov. Cuomo loves the Adirondack Park, recreates here himself, and clearly has been very strong in supporting tourism in the region,” Plumley said. “But it has to come with the expanded management necessary to deal with the numbers — especially in our most protected areas like our Wilderness area. But it has to be a two-step process.” State Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) said he understands that if Albany is asking localities to abide by a tax cap, then state agencies need to hold themselves to the same standard. But Forest Rangers are slowly seeing their mission being expanded, he told The Sun in June, and he fears doing so will come at the expense of forest maintenance. Stec said he would hate to see the DEC default to restricting recreational assess as their main stance due to manpower issues. “That could be a shame,” Stec said. For every 30,000 acres added to the state Forest Preserve, the DEC should add another ranger, said Stec, an avid outdoorsman whose father was a Forest Ranger.
