Public input wanted for proposed regional trail network Adirondack Community-based Trails and Lodging System aims to broaden hiking experience, revitalize communities

By Pete DeMola

LAKE PLACID — Are you into nature but are clueless on how to pitch a tent or build a campfire? Do you have inexperienced guests in town? Getting older? Or are you still hardcore, but want a few luxuries waiting for you at the end of your journey?

Honoring

An ambitious new project aims to broaden the hiking experience for everyone, and give local towns an economic jump start in the process.

The Adirondack Community-based Trails and Lodging System (ACTLS) project seeks to develop a series of trail networks across the region. Key locations will include lodging facilities at the end of a day-long trek, each containing varying amenities.

Hatched by a pair of local educators with years of wilderness experience, the project is now only in its conceptual stages, and was formally rolled out earlier this year at the Adirondack Research Consortium’s annual conference in Lake Placid.

Stefanik under fire for support of Donald Trump

oneÊ of Ê theirÊ own County emergency responders pour into Lewis and Elizabethtown to remember Bucky Sweatt: ‘We have it from here’ LEWIS — The dispatch tone for Lewis fire and Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad sounded at 1:18 p.m. last Saturday.

After a brief silence, the dispatcher delivered a moving “last call” for George “Bucky” Sweatt.

They were final words, closing services that honored Emergency Medical TechniKim cian and Lewis Volunteer fireman Sweatt, Dedam 71, who passed away at his home on Oct. 2.

Writer His family and scores of area friends, neighbors and first responders had gathered graveside after church funeral services.

Pagers on many belts blared.

“Brother, you have answered your last call,” the Essex County dispatcher said in an even, solemn voice, thanking the 50-plus year fireman and EMT for his service to the surrounding communities and for his love of family.

“Rest in peace brother, we have it from here.”

The final words fell into a heavy silence.

Just before church services began at noon, the Keeseville Volunteer Fire Department rolled into Lewis with their aerial truck and raised a 10-foot American flag over Route 9.

Dadey, a former Paul Smith’s College professor, returned statewide and mulled over his experience: “What would that like look like in the Adirondacks?”

The Methow Valley Recreational Trail System in Washington, a network of 120 miles of cross-country ski trails surrounded by national wilderness, provided additional inspiration, Dadey said.

That network, according to their website, generated $4.5 million in spending directly, another $4.1 million indirectly, and an additional $2.7 million annually through related industry earnings in the region. Over 200 seasonal full- and part-time jobs can be also directly attributed to the network.

GLENS FALLS — Dozens of high-profile Republicans rescinded their support of Donald Trump over the weekend after an audio tape revealed the presidential candidate bragging about groping women using vulgar language.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) was not among them.

“Donald Trump’s inappropriate, offensive comments are just wrong - No matter when he said them or whatever the context,” Stefanik said on Friday. “I hope his apology is sincere.”

Stefanik’s Democratic opponent Mike Derrick was quick to seize on her comments, branding Stefanik as a “party loyalist” and an “establishment sellout” for her continued support of the Republican nominee, which he called “downright reprehensible.”

“How in the world can she support a presidential candidate who has a shockingly consistent record of objectifying and >> See TRUMP | pg. 7

Stefanik releases tax returns, calls for opponents to do same

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — Rep. Elise Stefanik (RWillsboro) has released her tax returns and her campaign is now calling for her opponents to do the same: “Mike Derrick, why won’t you release your tax returns for all North Country voters to see?” said Lenny Alcivar, a campaign spokesman, on Oct. 6.

Stefanik reported $149,736 in income for 2015, according to tax returns and personal financial disclosure forms made available by her campaign. She paid a marginal tax rate of 28 percent, and the effective tax rate was 23 percent.

Derrick has not yet released that information.

“We are currently reviewing his tax returns,” a campaign spokesman told the Sun. “For the record, we never said we wouldn’t release them or we’re opposed to it.”

Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello has also not made his tax returns public.

“I am absolutely planning to release my tax return over the next week,” Funiciello said on Oct. 6. “I had not filed last year’s yet as I had some tax issues that needed to be resolved first. My CPA is working to finalize them by early next week.”

In last week’s debate, the first showdown between the candidates, all three said widespread tax reform is needed.

By then, a New York Times bombshell had revealed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump filed losses of $916 million on his taxes.

“The fact that Donald Trump potentially didn’t pay taxes for 18 years shows you the system in this country is rigged,” said Derrick, who said the real estate developer benefitted from deductions for real estate investments.

“Our entire tax code, corporate and personal, needs to be redone so that it accounts for these kinds of things and people pay their fair share,” he said.

Stefanik said the current tax code was “riddled with special interest loopholes” and called for a “flatter, fairer, simpler tax code” that helps pro-growth policies while also helping working families.

Stefanik said Trump’s revelations have raised the issue on the importance of transparency.

“I believe that Mr. Trump should release his taxes,” Stefanik said, citing her release.

The lawmaker said she has a record of bipartisanship, and was confident Congress would work with whoever is elected to the White House next month to embark on policy changes.

“I think a Republican Congress can make that happen no matter who is in the White House,” Stefanik said.

Funiciello said broad reform overall is necessary, and the major parties aren’t doing enough to expand the discussion.

The candidate called for a 10 percent flat tax and a wealth tax of 3 percent on those with more than $10 million in assets.

AD BUYS The Stefanik camp has singled out Derrick in their calls for tax transparency: “Is it because you own several real estate properties in Colorado?” Alcivar asked.

The Stefanik campaign echoed that line of attack in their latest advertisement, a 30-second slot released that same day using comic book-style imagery to cast Derrick, a retired army colonel who has been stationed aboard and in Colorado, as an aloof outsider who is unfamiliar with national defense policy.

“Isn’t it funny when a politician you never heard of starts attacking?” intones the narrator. “Take candidate Mike Derrick. Never heard of him, right? Former Republican, now Democrat, owns seven homes in Colorado.”

Derrick, in turn, has been attacking Stefanik for her support of Trump.

In an advertisement released the same day as Stefanik’s, he suggested the lawmaker’s decision to support Trump despite his controversial statements is rooted in partisanship, which means she is not independent enough to vote in the district’s best interest.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) released her tax returns on Oct. 6, and is calling for her opponents to do the same.

Smart Growth grants awarded to Adirondack communities State funds will aid in economic growth, revitalization efforts across region

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE PLACID — Five local communities have received $231,000 in grants designed to support projects that adhere to the state’s Smart Growth program.

The funds, announced by Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul last week in Lake Placid, will support ongoing hamlet revitalization, economic growth and environmental protection projects.

Those projects include funding for a wastewater treatment system in Wilmington, construction drawings for the reconstruction an 18-century sawmill in Ticonderoga, funds to aid in the transformation of a former industrial site in Keeseville and an energy efficiency project for an Indian Lake theater.

Saranac Lake stakeholders also received $50,000 for the proposed Adirondack Community Trails & Lodging System project, a hut-to-hut initiative that will develop a conceptual plan for potential trail networks with key locations for lodging facilities across the region.

The supplemental round of awards using funds from the state’s Environmental Protec-

tion Fund join six others awarded to North Country projects since April, totaling nearly $400,000.

“These grants help put the North Country on a path toward sustainability,” Hochul said.

“Smart Growth is a critical objective in a region where the environment and tourism are paramount to its success.”

RIVERSIDE

Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) said the $75,000, which they were awarded in conjunction with the town of Ausable, is helpful in their efforts to transform a slice of riverfront property into a public park,

replete with green space and walkable trails.

“We’re delighted to get this funding from New York State,” said AARCH Executive Director Steven Engelhart. “It’s been a pleasure to work with the town of Ausable in developing this project. It was really kind of heartening to see the state saw this as a Smart Growth project.”

The total price tag for the proposed Keeseville Hamlet Riverside Park clocks in at $562,000, said Engelhart.

While additional funding commitments have eaten into the total, the project still faces a $281,000 shortfall.

Engelhart hopes the next round of consolidated funding applications, traditionally announced by the state in mid-December, will

cover the rest.

The land, which is now in private ownership, will be donated, and at least one structure — the low-slung overgrown building known as “The Red Mill” — will be demolished.

State officials lauded the program “Each of the state grants will help these Adirondack communities fulfill important goals they’ve identified that might not be financially feasible otherwise,” said state Sen. Betty Little.

While this year’s summer tourism season was very good, it doesn’t mean it can’t be better, Little said.

“Once complete, the projects will help make the four communities even more desirable to visit and will generate additional economic activity,” Little said.

Past projects bankrolled by the funding stream include improvements to Essex County Fish Hatchery in Crown Point, stormwater infrastructure in Lake Placid and tech upgrades for Adirondack Harvest, the agricultural program overseen by Cornell Cooperative Extension that connects farmers to customers.

Bucky Sweatt From page 1

The service was the second service that drew large numbers of public officials and volunteer rescue personnel together with Sweatt’s wife, Karen Brown, who is also a member of the Elizabethtown/Lewis squad; their large family and dozens of friends and neighbors.

A legion of fire personnel, EMTs and those who had served alongside Sweatt paid last respects Friday evening at Heald Funeral Home in Elizabethtown.

The line reached under the entryway awning and down nearly a block of Court Street.

They came in from all over Essex County.

Among company uniforms and black-ribboned badges were volunteers, chiefs, fire inspectors, commissioners and EMTS from Crown Point, Keene, Keene Valley, Au Sable Forks, Moriah, Wilmington and Upper Jay along with all of the towns surrounding the Boquet River: Lewis, Elizabethtown, Willsboro, Essex and Westport.

Groups of area fire personnel waited outside, gathering muster, as twilight glowed in rose and gold on the autumn mountain colors.

They reflected, speaking quietly, remembering Sweatt.

“He was quite a character,” said Joe Norton, a fire investigator and assistant fire chief at Crown Point, “I was his lab partner in training. It was a great time.”

“He had a great sense of humor and was always willing to help,” Wilmington Fire Commissioner Charlie Terry said.

Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish stood at the end of the line as it began to move toward the chapel. His badge was covered with a strip of black fabric.

“Bucky was a longterm firefighter and member of the Emergency Medical Service, very dedicated to the community. He served so many hours, and his heart was in it, that’s for sure,” Jaquish reflected.

Lewis fire chiefs were somber, but remained grateful for the time they spent with the well-trained fireman.

In addition to integral support for the Willsboro Fire Department, Sweatt was an active member of the Lewis Volunteer Fire Department for 54 years, and had attended the meeting last week, First Assistant Chief Terry Pulsifer Jr. said.

“There’s just so much. It’s a big loss. We had 40 years in age difference and I would still grab him to go into a fire... he knew it all and wasn’t afraid to ask for help.”

For Lewis’ Second Assistant Chief, Steve Duso Jr., there were moments to remember with a smile.

“He lived right across from the fire house,” Duso recalled.

“And I live close by. We used to race to the station. He beat me twice,” Duso grinned.

“And I remember one time he stood at the door with his arms like this,” Duso swept his arms wide.

“He said, ‘Where you been, chum?’”

They all spoke of dedication and having a true brother they could count on.

Lewis Fire Chief Pete Evans stood first in line on Friday evening, and the entourage followed slowly as he paid respects.

At the Lewis Town Hall, Supervisor Jim Monty said Sweatt was a prime example of how a community is built by individual efforts.

“He volunteered for everything: He was a volunteer fireman and a member of the emergency squad and very community oriented. Any time there was a project, he was always willing to step up and help. If someone needed a hand, he was there to give them one. Men like that are hard to replace. He is going to be sorely missed.”

Monty said Sweatt loved to hunt and fish.

“He loved his family, his children and grandchildren, and Karen was his life. It’s hard to put into words what he means to everyone here. He was well respected and loved by all. I don’t know anybody who said a bad word about Bucky.”

The Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad also lost a point man, one who drove the ambulance for years.

Patty Bashaw, president of the squad, said Mr. Sweatt was part of their team since 1985.

“We’ve known him for a very long time.”

He probably went on as many calls as she did, Bashaw said.

“He was always there. He was always dedicated. He was always available during the day so he would drive for the agency. It’s not an easy coverage by any stretch of the imagination.”

Sweatt had stopped working as an EMT for a brief time, but took the course again at age 70, Bashaw said.

“He was so persistent and he got his card back.”

In addition to his wife Karen, Sweatt leaves two sons and their families, Kenneth and Becca Sweatt and Korey and Cheryl Sweatt of Willsboro, and three grandchildren: Darrian, Brady, and Bryant along with a large extended family.

American Red Cross to open volunteer class LAKE PLACID — The American Red Cross will host a volunteer training class on Oct. 22. The class wil teach attendees how to provide “vital services in your community and beyond,” according to organizers. To sign up for the event, which is scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Olympic Center, call Taylor Fanelli at 315-520-6259.

NY21: One debate down, two to go First debate a sedate affair that sees candidates discussing trade, economy, veterans issues — and creepy clowns

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ALBANY — Candidates for New York’s 21st Congressional District met last week on the debate stage for the first time.

But despite the increasingly-hostile tenor of the race — the campaigns trade broadsides almost daily in a three-way battle royale — the debate was relatively muted as each candidate outlined their views on the economy, foreign policy and tax reform.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is seeking to defend her seat against Mike Derrick, a retired army colonel from Peru, and Matt Funiciello, a Glens Falls bakery owner.

TAX REFORM In the wake of revelations that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump filed losses of $916 million on his taxes, all broadly agreed tax reform is needed.

Derrick called the system “rigged.”

“Our entire tax code, corporate and personal, needs to be redone so that it accounts for these kinds of things and people pay their fair share,” he said.

Stefanik said the current tax code was “riddled with special interest loopholes” and called for a “flatter, fairer, simpler tax code” that helps “pro-growth policies” while also helping working families.

The freshman lawmaker said she was confident Congress would work with whoever is elected to the White House next month to embark on policy changes, including a proposal put forth by the House GOP last December.

“I think a Republican Congress can make that happen no matter who is in the White House,” Stefanik said.

Funiciello said the two major parties aren’t doing enough to expand the discussion.

The candidate called for a 10 percent flat tax, and a wealth tax of 3 percent on those with more than $10 million in assets.

These themes, and their delivery, set the contours for the hourlong debate moderated by “Capital Tonight” host Liz Benjamin and Time Warner Cable reporters Matt Hunter and Brian Dwyer: Stefanik largely discussed her record and pointed at a broad list of accomplishments and policy proposals; Derrick offered general brushstrokes on the issues, and Funiciello reveled in blasting the two-party system for not going far enough with the policies he said are necessary to pull the nation back from the precipice.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Stefanik defended last year’s $63 million state-brokered deal that saw Alcoa retain 600 union jobs at their Massena aluminum plant through massive subsidies, citing the number of working families who would be effected by its closure.

But to bolster the sagging economy at the federal level, the lawmaker pointed at the roadmap she has sketched out during her two-years in office. That includes working with Canada to strengthen transnational economic partnerships and workforce development efforts.

Stefanik also referred to legislation like last year’s $305 billion highway bill as beneficial for the local economy.

Derrick called for widespread infrastructure investments through a national infrastructure land bank.

“We put in seed money from the federal government, and then we leverage private and public funds, and we create the capital that we need to invest in our country to bring back some of these towns, some of these rust belt towns that have fallen so far behind,” he said.

Funiciello said: “They can talk about it, but they won’t do it,” referring to the major parties.

And he referred to the Alcoa subsidies as, “One of those big nice cardboard checks that politicians like to stand with as if they’ve actually done something. No you haven’t — you’ve just given welfare to a massive corporation,” he said.

A better use of those funds, he said, would be their allocation to retraining efforts.

TRADE Sparks flew in the otherwise mild debate when the candidates squared off on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the proposed trade pact between the U.S. and 11 other nations designed to keep China in check.

“I would not have voted for TPA as Congresswoman Stefanik did,” Derrick said, referring to the fast-track authority that allows the administration to negotiate deals before they head to Congress.

Derrick said the TPP is “unfair” and would put constituents at a disadvantage.

Funiciello said free trade is “global wage slavery” and called Stefanik’s vote “unconstitutional.”

“That’s fast-track, that’s not how things should be negotiated — not in secret, we live in a democracy,” he said.

Stefanik said: “I don’t support TPP.” She added: “It’s clear that the TPP will not pass, and that’s because I’m a member of Congress and I’m one of the majority members and voices that said, ‘This is something that my district doesn’t support.’”

Stefanik said she had reservations on how the legislation would address dairy provisions; environmental standards and currency manipulation. But it is still important that Congress has a vote in any future deals.

On Derrick not supporting TPA, Stefanik said: “That means he doesn’t support fair trade and he doesn’t support congressional authority.”

“If you vote to fast-track the TPP, it is logical that you then support it, and she has flipped on this under pressure,” Derrick said. “This is a contrast on what she says and what she has done.”

“Mike clearly doesn’t understand the difference between TPA

and TPP,” Stefanik shot back. “Mike Derrick actually had to correct his first campaign ad because he didn’t know the difference between TPA and TPP.” VETERANS ISSUES Stefanik touted her efforts to aid the district’s veterans since taking office, including helping constituents reclaim $1 million in VA benefits and getting legislation passed to assist caregivers of wounded veterans.

Wait time issues at the VA clinic continue to be a concern, she said, and more efforts should be made to harness technology and utilize local health providers.

“I don’t support privatizing the VA. But I do think when you’re in a rural area, you need to give veterans the option to access care through the VA Choice Program, which was a bipartisan bill that passed in the previous Congress.”

Derrick said he and his wife, also a veteran, have an ongoing relationship with the VA. “Access to care for those of us that are in rural areas is the key issue here,” Derrick said.

The candidate called for enhancing community-based outpatient clinics to offer more services. Derrick also criticized Stefanik for voting for a recent appropriations bill that reduced expenditures for veterans programs.

Stefanik said that vote was “well-funded.”

“I will continue to vote in support of funding for the VA,” Stefanik said.

Funiciello also criticized that vote, and said single-payer healthcare would remedy issues at the VA. “A lot of soldiers I talked to this past year are not particularly impressed with that decision, and are very upset,” Funiciello said.

“It directly impacts a lot of real human beings.” >> See DEBATE | pg. 15

A new manufacturing era

y nature, we are each unique and different.

We want to pursue our own path in life and in nearly everything we do.

It’s that free spirit quality that has made our country so successful and creative.

Last week, the country celebrated Manufacturing Week with events peppered from north to south. Creating and building products that meet the population’s ever-growing needs is not only a highly satisfying career, but one with handsome rewards also.

Plattsburgh, site of the new Institute of Advanced Manufacturing (IAM) at Clinton Community College, served as a host site for a number of manufacturers from around the region. The panel discussion revealed several interesting new developments that might surprise those among us who think of manufacturing plants as dark and dirty, performing monotonous work.

Another purpose of the gathering was to celebrate the success our region enjoys having these production facilities located here and to remind parents, teachers and students of the tremendous career opportunities available in the manufacturing fields today.

IAM will be a state-of-theart facility designed to support advanced manufacturing throughout the region when it opens next fall and will provide the region with the perfect assets to attract and train our growing population.

Most manufacturing facilities pay approximately 20 percent more than the area’s going pay rates. Technical education degrees are far less expensive than liberal art degrees and are more likely to be achieved with far fewer college loans to pay back.

Most workers today are cross trained in more than one area of expertise and are provided greater opportunity for advancement, especially with baby boomers leaving the work force at high numbers.

Management no longer calls all the shots. They’ve learned most line workers have superior ideas when it comes to streamlining operations. Today’s worker actively seeks the opportunity to take a more active role improving the work flow and product design and management encourages this participation.

Training opportunities today far exceed what has been available in the past, and with new technology and a greater demand for green manufacturing taking place, workers play a more important role than ever before.

Clearly our industrial plants today are nothing like the smoke-filled plants our grandfather and great grandfathers worked in years ago. These lean and clean facilities offer stability and tremendous economic hope for our communities and the lives we build around them.

Go newspapers!

T

he second presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on Oct. 9 was among the most dark and dreary we’ve ever seen, and we admit we were sitting on the edge of our seats for the first 15 minutes watching this surreal spectacle crackle with tension.

Two stories framed the surrealistic showdown more than any other: The first was Trump boasting about groping women, a story that cast the political world into upheaval just hours before the event.

The second was the revelations that the real estate magnate (legally) used a $916 million loss to avoid paying taxes.

These were the two of the biggest stories of the campaign. And they were both broken by newspapers — not cable networks, social media, websites or talk radio, but good old-fashioned newspapers.

The Washington Post and the New York Times picked up the stories that the television networks punted on.

That’s not a small feat considering the industry has laid off 40 percent of its reporters over the past decade.

The media has become a popular punching bag during this election cycle, and we’ve seen the discussion veer both ways: We’re heroes or villains depending on the beholder. Some even say that the choice between two disliked candidates is our fault because we didn’t do our jobs in the first place by vetting them — or that the media has been shielding one candidate or another.

There is some degree of truth to those criticisms.

National media companies have sadly become monopolies and have enjoyed too great an influence over the public’s flow of information, which in many cases, has now gone away from fair reporting to tipping the scales.

But it’s a discussion that will percolate long after the election.

Love or hate the press, it’s undisputed that newspapers continue to play a vital role in shaping the country’s debate, setting the tone and driving the national discourse — including the investigative work that fueled Sunday’s debate, as well as the other dogged, thorough and comprehensive work that has shaped this campaign.

The same applies to the local level.

But the future remains uncharted as the newspaper industry continues to navigate choppy waters.

Luckily for us, the pendulum is swinging back to print, and people more than ever are turning to their local newspapers for comprehensive and indepth reporting.

We’re reminded of something comedian John Oliver said in his much-discussed “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” segment on the challenges that face the newspaper biz, which made headlines earlier this summer for its defense of good reporting paired with a few hard truths.

“A big part of the blame is on us and our willingness to pay for the work that journalists produce,” Oliver said. “We’ve just grown accustomed to getting our news for free, and the longer we get something for free, the less willing we’re likely to pay for it.”

Bingo.

StefanikÊ endorsementÊ Ô indefensibleÕÊ To the Editor: If anyone had any doubts about Donald Trump’s sleazy and misogynistic attitude toward women, those doubts were dispelled by the latest Trump tapes.

This adds to the list of groups he despises — Mexicans, immigrants, the disabled, war heroes — the list goes on.

Republican congresswoman Elise Stefanik has said that Trump’s remarks are “inappropriate,” “offensive” and “wrong” yet she continues to endorse him.

Her endorsement is indicative of a larger problem: instead of using her own best judgement and voting in the interests of the people she represents, she

A

just toes the Party line.

For example, she voted to weaken Clean Air regulations in July 2015, a move that is contrary to the interests of her own district. Emissions from power plants in the Midwest are responsible for the acid rain which has already caused so much damage to Adirondack lakes and trees, and the legislation she voted for will increase that potential.

Her votes and her endorsement of Trump are indefensible and contradict her claim to be an independent voice in Congress. It is clear that her primary goal is to advance her own political career, and the best way to achieve this is to unquestioningly support the party leadership, regardless of the impact on her own constituents.

ENDORSEMENT POLICY

s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-

dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75.

A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COMMENTARY

TrumpÊ Jr.Ê putÊ footÊ inÊ mouthÊ withÊ gasÊ Ô RealityÊ checkÕ Ê onÊ MikeÊ Pence chambersÊ comment To the Editor: To the Editor: The saying is: “Like father like son.”

Young Trump put his silver tongue and foot in his mouth in public when he commented about gas chambers being heated.

Donald Trump Jr. — they did not heat gas chambers. They just pulled a plug. Zyklon B came from the shower heads and millions of people were gassed in this horrible way.

In the 1930s, when I was an elementary student, a nice gentleman showed up one day and told us if we were eating apricots, try to put the pits in a jar — and when the jar was full, to turn it in for a lollypop or candy, our choice.

We did well to eat apricots and collect pits.

In the meantime, my dad had a meeting at the temple and found out about this glorious collection of pits.

It was for Zyklon B manufacturing.

Thank God the season to harvest is short for apricots, for it was used to manufacture Zyklon B. To this day, when I eat apricots, I dispose of the pits properly and say a kiddush for the souls of the murdered Jews.

Trump

From page 1 belittling women, not to mention veterans and Gold Star families?” Derrick said.

“If Congresswoman Stefanik was really an independent voice, why has she not broken from her party leaders in joining the droves of others rejecting Trump, and where is her voice when he makes comments like this?”

In what has shaped up to one of the most explosive moments of the presidential campaign, the revelations of the comments by the Washington Post, caught by a hot mic during a 2005 taping of NBC’s Access Hollywood, cast the Trump campaign into crisis.

Derrick gleefully hammered Stefanik on social media all weekend, using the hashtag #EstablishmentElise as his campaign sent fundraising pitches to supporters.

A Stefanik campaign spokesman did not respond for comment.

Derrick, a retired army colonel, has made tying Trump to Stefanik a central part of his campaign, and has criticized the freshman lawmaker in the wake of numerous controversies throughout the election, including Trump’s comments last week that returning combat veterans are “not strong” and “can’t handle it.”

And a campaign commercial released last week further sought to cement that connection with voters, featuring an audio clip of Stefanik expressing support for the candidate juxtaposed with footage of Trump mocking a disabled reporter, among other controversial statements.

UNEASY RELATIONSHIP Stefanik, first elected in 2014, has avoided discussing the real estate developer, and has generally remained silent on national politics during the tumultuous election cycle. The lawmaker also pointedly declined to attend the GOP National Convention, opting instead to tour the district.

But the youngest woman ever elected to Congress offered her most fullthroated support yet — if not an impersonal one — for Trump during last week’s congressional debate in Albany.

Stefanik offered a list of iron-plated party orthodoxy, including the need for tax reform, reducing regulations, replacing the Affordable Care Act, preserving gun rights and the future of the Supreme Court, as her rationale for supporting his campaign.

“I don’t support Trump’s proposals to ban people from the country based upon their religious affiliation,” Stefanik admitted. “That’s an issue where I disagree.”

Stefanik also criticized Trump for his failure to release his tax returns.

“I think it raises the issue of transparency and comprehensive tax reform,” Stefanik said.

GROWING TIDE Stefanik joins the raft of Republicans who have denounced his comments while stopping short of rescinding support for the controversial figure.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Friday he was “sickened” by Trump’s comments and withdrew an invitation for a joint campaign appearance in Wisconsin over the weekend.

A number of high-profile party leaders have withdrawn their support, including Sen. John McCain, the party’s nominee in 2008, Sen. Mike Crapo and Sen. Kelly Ayotte.

Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Thune said Trump should step aside in favor of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. And Stefanik’s colleague Rep. John Katko, a Republican who represents the Syracuse area, called Trump’s comments “offensive and disgusting.”

“His comments cannot be justified and crosses every line you can imagine,” he told Syracuse.com.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, too, waded into the debate on Saturday.

“I think it was disgusting on a basic human level,” Cuomo told NY1.

“And I think the Republican politicians in this state have to condemn the activity, condemn the verbiage – silence is acceptance and no New Yorker should accept what was said here.”

Cuomo added: “Any Republican politician in this state who continues to stand with Trump is going to be unseated very soon in the political arena

If you are a woman: Indiana joins North Dakota with the most restrictive laws against woman’s health. Not only Planned Parenthood, but the ability of a woman to make a choice even in cases of rape.

If you are a worker: Mike Pence used his own campaign money to repeal Indiana’s common construction wage laws. Workers in Indiana now do more work for less.

If you believe in education: Mike Pence declined an 80 million dollar grant that would have established a statewide Pre-K system.

His state has a D+ rating for the state’s infrastructure. Two interstate bridge closures.

His state’s per capita income dropped to 38th in the nation Seniors: He voted to privatize Social Security. And wants to voucher-ize Medicare� Really folks? Think again� Marlene McAlevey Jay

Submit letters to the editor to Johng@suncommunitynews.com because no New Yorker will tolerate this.”

And on Sunday, Essex County Democratic Committee Chairman Bethany Kosmider urged her Republican counterparts to “repudiate and disavow” their support for Trump.

SOCIAL MEDIA DELUGE A spirited discussion unfolded on Stefanik’s Facebook page over the weekend.

By Monday, her original statement had nearly 200 comments, reflecting the rhetoric pervading the nuclear-level national discourse which has only amplified after Sunday’s combative presidential debate.

Many applauded her position.

“You had my vote before, you have my vote now and I applaud you for wording it perfect,” wrote a man under the name Kirk Gilchrist.” Thanks for your leadership and willingness. Most would have simply been quiet. In my mind, this is great leadership.”

Others said she had already said too much: “You just lost my vote Ms. Stefanik, and my support and your lawn sign just went in my garbage can,” wrote Thomas C. Powlin. “Very disappointed and regretting I donated to your campaign.”

But the overwhelming majority appeared to blast the lawmaker for not taking a more firm stand: “Your continued support for Donald Trump is vile and a disgrace to women everywhere,” said Nora Frateschi Miller. “You will no longer be under consideration for my vote. He needs to quit while he can.”

Stefanik, for her part, has avoided further comment since the controversy emerged late Friday.

Derrick continued to play offense on Monday, releasing statements from a number of women across the district expressing their outrage.

“As a young woman from the North Country and an elected official, I keep holding out hope that Elise Stefanik will make good on her promises to represent me in a way that I can be proud of,” said Town of Plattsburgh Councilwoman Meg LeFevre. “Personal and professional success in the North Country, especially for women, is not possible without the support of other women and men who respect, inspire and uplift us every day. Stefanik cannot call herself a role model to our young girls while continuing to support Donald Trump.”

PARTISAN DIVIDE A POLITICO/Morning Consult poll released on Sunday revealed a sharp divide over the leaked tape.

According to the poll, 74 percent of Republican voters said party officials should continue to support Trump. Just 13 percent think the party shouldn’t back him.

While that same poll revealed Clinton leads Trump in the four-way race for the White House by four points, 42 percent to 38 percent, a NBC/WSJ poll released Monday shows Clinton with an 11 point lead.

It’s unclear what the backlash would mean for local races. The New York Times reported on Monday Ryan told GOP lawmakers that his sole priority for the remainder of the election would be to defend congressional Republicans.

Trump scored decisive victories in New York during the Republican primary, winning all 12 counties in the congressional district with 52.7 percent of the vote.

And Stefanik carved out a 19-point victory over challenger Aaron Woolf, a Democrat, in 2014.

Just four weeks ahead of the congressional race, polling in the three-way race remains scant. But registrations in New York have surged before the Oct. 14 deadline.

A record number of new voters have enrolled in the state Department of Motor Vehicles’ automated online system last month, the governor’s office announced last week.

The website processed more than 140,600 applications, including more than 78,400 applications from first-time voters, an all-time high in both categories.

That’s in comparison to 9,200 voter registration applications, including nearly 3,400 from first-time voters, last year. And in September 2012, the website processed more than 13,700, including nearly 5,200 from first time voters.

Building better drugs Faster in the United States Peter J. Pitts

reast cancer surgeon Dr. Laura Esserman sings to her patients as they go under anesthesia. She tackles any song request, whether it’s a top 40 hit or a Broadway ballad. This same patient-centric attitude drove Dr. Esserman to participate in adaptive clinical trials, a game-changing way to test new medications.

It’s past time that other researchers think beyond traditional clinical trials. Adaptive trials can make drug testing both more efficient and accurate. If regulators were to encourage greater use of adaptive trials and facilitate sharing of electronic health record data, researchers could deliver better drugs to patients, faster.

In a traditional clinical trial, researchers plan out every element of the trial -- from the number of participants to the type of data to be collected -- before they begin testing. They stick to this rigid master plan until the trial is complete.

But in an adaptive trial, researchers pre-plan certain modifications that they can make part-way through the trial, based on the results they’ve uncovered so far.

Think of it in terms of mapping a run. A runner might look at a map and realize that at one point, the road will fork. Instead of deciding whether to go left or right before he ever begins jogging, he might choose to postpone the choice until actually reaches the fork. Perhaps he’d like to observe which path is muddier or which path has less traffic -- and he’ll only know when he gets there.

Similarly, researchers administering adaptive clinical trials can modify their tests as they make observations. Like the runner, they have to pre-plan what choices they’ll make and when. But the more flexible trial formula enables them to alter the trial in response to real-world results.

Dr. Esserman’s trial, for example, personalized testing by splitting breast cancer patients into different groups depending on various measurements of their health. She tested a combination of therapies on these patients -- and only continued testing those that were found initially effective. By not having to run a dud treatment through the course of a standard clinical trial, the adaptive design reduced the cost, time, and number of patients needed for the trial.

The FDA currently permits adaptive trials in limited instances.

Letting researchers use this model more often would improve the drug development process.

Another way to improve the process is to enable doctors, insurers, and drug companies to share data on patients’ health outcomes after they take new FDA-approved medicines. By analyzing this data, they could uncover patterns that can’t be detected even in the largest clinical trials.

Changing regulations to permit greater sharing of such data would help researchers unveil rare side effects, complications, or “miracle” results that crop up.

Adaptive trials and increased data sharing would deliver better medicines to patients faster and with greater safety. That’s something to sing about.

Peter J. Pitts, a former FDA Associate Commissioner, is the president and co-founder of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Art as a ‘reflection of us all’

J

ohn Lennon, born this month in 1940, once said that his role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try to express what we all feel.

“Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.”

The importance of authenticity in art cannot be understated. I believe that the perception of authenticity is key — even the people most removed from the art world can have the ability to see whether an artist is being truthful or deceptive.

When an artist is truthful, they have a special power; their work and uninhibited expression can truly inspire and garner genuine empathy.

Being relatable — or creating something that is universal — is oftentimes an effect of authenticity rather than of a goal set by the artist.

There are artists, musicians and writers abound in the North Country, all of whom host events every week to offer up their work for residents and visitors to experience.

Here are a few of their efforts: ROTA Studio and Gallery in Plattsburgh will host a performance by Jay Arner and Adrian Aardvark on Oct. 15. Jay Arner is a Vancouver-based synth-pop performer. Adrian Aardvark is a local punk-pop group. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are on a $3-10 sliding scale, attendees are encouraged to pay what they can afford.

ROTA will also hold an evening of poetry for domestic violence survivors on Oct. 21. Organizers of the event encourage attendees to bring an original piece of work written by themselves, or a loved one. Those who wish to read can also bring their favorite author’s poetry, verse, fiction or song. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Readings start at 7 p.m. For more information, visit facebook.com/rotagallery.

Hill and Hollow Music in Saranac will bring pianist Gloria Chien to the Methodist Church on Route 3 on Oct. 16 at 3 p.m. Chien made her debut on the scene at the age of 16 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Her concert will feature works by Mendelssohn, Chopin, Debussy and more. Tickets are $15, $12 for students and seniors. Children are free. For more information, visit hillandhollowmusic.org.

Emery Swanson had a big interception in the fourth quarter for the Saranac Lake Red Storm, setting up the game winning touchdown by Jarrett Ashton in a 20-14 win over Moriah last Saturday.

SARANAC LAKE — In a battle of two of the top quarterbacks in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference, both Will Coats and Dylan Trombley had solid games, but each threw one ball to the other team.

The key would be the timing of those interceptions.

Emery Swanson would grab an interception for the Red Storm with less than 10 minutes remaining in the game, setting up Jarrett Ashton for a 21 yard scoring run which would give the Storm the 20-14 lead it would hold onto as Nick Woodward recorded a sack on the final play and get the Red Storm back in the win column.

The Vikings got on the board first, as Brandon Hammond scored on a five yard touchdown to give the Viikings a 7-0 lead. The Red Storm responded eight minutes later, as Ashton ran the ball in from five yards out to tie the score.

Moriah then took a 14-7 lead, responding in three-and-ahalf minutes as Dewey Snyder scored on a 31-yard pass play from Trombley. The score would remain the same through halftime.

Ashton would score his second of what would be three touchdowns in the game early in the third quarter, tying the score after running the ball in from 46 yards out. The game would go the next 12 minutes without a score before Ashton’s game-winner from 21 yards away in the fourth.

Ashton finished with 128 yards and three touchdowns. He was the only effective weapon in the Red Storm rushing attack, as the rest of the team totalled negative three rushing yards.

Senior quarterback Will Coats went 13-of-29 for 115 yards and one interception, with top receiver Joe Viscardo catching six balls for 62 yards.

For the Vikings, who held a 253-243 yards from scrimmage edge, Hammond finished with 101 rushing yards and the one score on 21 carries, while Trombley connected on 6-of-18 passes for 87 yards with a touchdown and interception. Dewey Snyder (31, TD), Connor Anderson (26), Ryan Flack (15) and Ethan Java (15) all had one catch for the Vikings.

For the Red Storm (4-2), the win marked their first in the last three tries, having lost to Ticonderoga and Beekmantown in weeks four and five. The team will travel into the Champlain Valley to close out the 2016 regular season with a road game against Plattsburgh High (1-5), who lost to Ticonderoga last Friday.

For the Vikings, who currently stand on a two-game losing streak to the Red Storm and Sentinels, the regular season finished with another top quarterback battle as Trombley and Moriah will host Dalton McDonald and AuSable Valley. Both games are set for 7:30 p.m. starts Friday, Oct. 14, in Plattsburgh and Mineville, respectively.

Trail network From page 1

A similar system in the Adirondack Park would promote the outdoors and wellness while also aiding in economic development, Dadey said. The network could also provide opportunities for people who don’t ordinarily experience the backcountry.

Dadey and his partner, Jack Drury, will host a series of nine community workshops across the Adirondacks this fall to gather public input.

The first session was held in Star Lake on Tuesday. Subsequent sessions are scheduled for Old Forge, Saranac, Lake Placid, Lake George, Elizabethtown, Ticonderoga and Tupper Lake, with the final session slated for Paul Smith’s on Nov. 15.

The project is in its embryonic stages, and possible trail networks exist only within a conceptual framework.

But Dadey and Drury hope to leverage public knowledge with these sessions, gleaning input on existing trails and prospective new ones and their connections, as well as potential lodging facilities.

Routes floated earlier this spring include a North Creek to Indian Lake circuit that may incorporate rafting.

A route between Northville and Lake Placid could include an overnight stop in Long Lake and connect travelers to both the backcountry and frontcountry.

And a Lake Placid-Keene route could include Newcomb, an experience that would allow participants to experience the Santanoni Preserve and McIntyre Tract.

Possible networks, of course, also hinge on the progress of a state Department of Conservation recreation trail in the central Adirondacks and the future classification of Boreas Ponds.

But each route would ideally begin and end in a community.

“Instead of communities competing against each other, this connects communities,” Dadey said.

Existing lodging, Drury said, would be utilized whenever possible. Organizers envision those services existing on a spectrum from “rustic to five-star,” from lean-tos and yurttype structures to places like the Hotel Saranac.

Some could be full-service, while others may contain a small-but-dry sleeping space.

“It’s got to be a quality service — it can’t be a yawner,” Drury said.

Quality lodging, in part, is a key to success, he said. Other critical planks include world-class trails, public and private partnerships and dependable transportation infrastructure

The Adirondack Community-based Trails and Lodging System project aims to develop a series of trail networks across the region. Key locations will include lodging facilities at the end of a day-long trek, each with varying amenities. A series of workshops will be held across the Adirondack Park began on Oct. 11, and will conclude on Nov. 15 at Paul Smith’s College.

and services: If participants traverse from Point A to B, for instance, how do they get back to their vehicle?

All of these questions will be hashed out during the hearings.

Underpinning the proposed system are demographic changes, both at home and shifting trend in global travel preferences.

Walking remains a popular activity for the aging population, particularly family walks, which are growing in popularity.

And internationally, foreign guests aren’t necessarily looking for high risk adventure, said the organizers, but are rather seeking authentic nature experiences that aren’t disorienting or stressful.

Of course, challenges remain.

Funding appears to be heavily reliant on state funds — the Department of State, who awarded them a $50,000 grant last week, is currently bankrolling the effort — and the organization needs more torchbearers to help champion the project.

Local leaders said they were optimistic.

“Anytime that you can find something to attract tourism to the area, there’s going to be a benefit to town,” said Saranac

SLCS: Katie Holvik from Grace Clark. Madison Grimmone 16 saves.

Councilman Jerry Delaney, a member of the project’s advisory committee.

If guests like what they see, they may relocate here, Delaney said, which would have the additional benefit of services springing up within the community and saving residents a trip to Plattsburgh.

“I’m excited about it,” said Indian Lake Supervisor Brian Wells. “This is a novel idea.”

Offering guests the ability to stay overnight on state land, he said, is one of the reasons why he can support limited state land acquisitions.

But Wells also cited concerns about access. It may be difficult, for instance, to ferry in supplies to campers if roads do not allow motorized vehicles, or if the land is privately owned.

The project must also hash out the legalities governing the construction of enclosed structures on state land, the supervisor said.

“Are we going to be allowed to put a yurt on state property?” Wells asked. “There’s got to be some give and take.”

The ACTLS already has friends in high places.

Former DEC commissioner Joseph Martens expressed delight over the proposal during its rollout in May. Collaborative efforts like these were among the brightest parts of his tenure leading the agency, he said.

“It almost makes me wish I was commissioner again — but not quite,” Martens said. “It’s these types of projects that hold the key to the future of the Adirondack Park.”

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD Community leaders, planners, economic developers, outdoor enthusiasts, lodging owners and those interested in the development of Adirondack hut-to-hut routes are encouraged to attend.

Debate

From page 5 PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS Funiciello said he supports Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

But in response to a moderator’s question, he admitted working with Congress might be troublesome.

“Look at how well they work with each other right now, which is not at all. They’re not doing anything of value.”

Derrick called Trump a “liar” and a “cheat.”

“I support Hillary Clinton because she brings with her ideas,” Derrick said, citing the candidate’s infrastructure and Medicare expansion proposals. (He also cited the overturn of Citizens United, which Benjamin noted would require cooperation from both Congress and the Supreme Court.)

And Stefanik discussed her rationale for supporting Trump, offering a list of iron-plated GOP orthodoxy, including the need for tax reform, reducing regulations, replacing the Affordable Care Act, preserving gun rights and the future of the Supreme

Court.

“I don’t support Trump’s proposals to ban people from the country based upon their religious affiliation,” Stefanik admitted.

“That’s an issue where I disagree.”

LIGHTNING STRIKES The candidates also outlined strategies for combatting terrorism, immigration reform and how they would help farmers located in the North Country counties declared as disaster areas by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Stefanik said she is pushing for a more stringent classification that would free up more resources for drought-affected farmers in Jefferson and Lewis counties.

The exchange resulted in Funiciello calling for farmers to pull out of meat and dairy farming altogether, citing their contribution to global warming.

“Livestock agriculture was determined in 2006 to be the root cause,” Funiciello said. “Our consumption of meat and dairy was actually the issue.”

Benjamin appeared stunned:

(TL)

The Valley News Sun • October 15, 2016 | 15

“Are you suggesting that farmers in the North Country should all get out of the meat business?” she said.

“Oh, absolutely,” Funiciello said.

The Green Party candidate also said he would not be in favor of using experimental drone technology to provide high-speed internet to underserved areas in the Adirondack Park.

“Are the drones going to be successful at sending those signals back and forth as they are at killing our enemies in the Middle East?” Funiciello said. “Because if they are, then I don’t want them to be doing that over the Adirondack Park.”

Despite their policy differences and minor spats, all three found common ground in at least a few areas.

During the lightning round, each candidate agreed that vehicles should not be allowed in the Boreas Pond Tract, and that people were overreacting to the epidemic of clown sightings sweeping the nation.

“But it is creepy,” Stefanik said.

The next debate is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 17 at SUNY Adirondack in Queensbury. The third and final debate is scheduled for Oct. 24 in Plattsburgh.
