Building aid jumps to 90 percent state coverage if schools merge By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER
Westport|The Westport and Elizabethtown-Lewis Central Merger Committee discussed school buildings, repairs and
compared need in both districts at the October meeting last week. Consultants from Castallo & Silky contrasted current school building aid ratios and calculated how a merged district would fare in new building aid. Building aid is an incentive in a merger, consultant Alan Pole said of New York’s effort to encourage shared school districts. A merged district would earn an additional 30 percent on top of the higher district’s selected building aid.
With ELCS at 69.3 percent building aid and WCS at 65.3 percent, it puts the aid ratio at the maximum near 90.1 percent, Pole said of their projections. Pole presented architect’s costs for a new building as an example. A new combined school facility to encompass the joined student body of about 456 students in grades kindergarten through 12 — for purposes of example only — would cost the three-town district approximately $50 million. » Merger Meeting Cont. on pg. 9
Stefanik splits with GOP on federal budget Lawmaker cites elimination of state and local tax deduction as deal breaker By Pete DeMola EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) has broken with her party on a major 2018 budget resolution vote. The budget narrowly passed 216-212 along
party lines, with all Democrats voting against the plan last Thursday. Th e greenlight has paved the way for House lawmakers to introduce their sweeping tax reform bill. Stefanik split with Republicans over the increasingly controversial state and local tax deduction measure. “She voted against this budget because she had concerns with the language related to eliminating the deduction for state and local taxes,” said Tom Flanagin, a spokesman. » Stefanik Cont. on pg. 10

Sophisticated Ladies span genres, geography Concerts slated for Nov. 4 and 5 in Elizabethtown By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER
ELIZABETHTOWN | The collaboration of four women musicians happened in parts, ones and twos, blending trombone, viola, piano and then cello. The Sophisticated Ladies will play all together at the Hand House this weekend, sharing selections from jazz to classical and tango. “Each of the Sophisticated Ladies met each other at different and sometimes overlapping musical events in the North Country,” explained pianist Rose Chancler, of Westport, who first met faculty violist Patricia McCarty at Meadowmount in 2003. McCarty is on the Meadowmount Faculty and that year Chancler began working with her as a collaborative pianist. “I felt very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such an incredible and professional musician and also her very accomplished students,” Chancler said of the first connection. Lori Salimando-Porter, a trombonist and Plattsburgh State music professor from Chazy, met McCarty at a Piano by Nature Christmas Concert in 2015, which brought together many community musicians. “Lori performed a solo piece by Bernstein, and I was so impressed with her lyrical, color-

They really enjoy working together and believe their tones blend extremely well,” Chancler said of the collaboration. Lichten and Salimando-Porter met this past summer to complete the happenstance quartet. “We four got together for the first time in August where we had a rehearsal and a lovely photo shoot (with antlers),” Chancler said of their spirited friendships.
ful tone that I asked her to keep me in mind if ever she wanted to do the Persichetti Trio for Trombone, Viola and Cello,” McCarty said. Julia Lichten, a cellist from New York City who teaches at the Manhattan School of Music, met McCarty in 2016 while at Meadowmount, too. It was Lichten’s first season with the famed music school in Lewis. “Now she is a regular performer there on faculty concerts, and shares a similar sense
“We are all strong, talented, ‘sophisticated’ and professional women who feel our musical talents complement each other like the ebb and flow of the ocean — sometimes leading, blending, following — and always creating,” Salimando-Porter said. Together, the four women have chosen a very eclectic program of music to perform in Elizabethtown. Selections will shift from traditional classical to atonal to tango to jazz. “And the program and instrumentation are so unusual that the audience may best not walk into such a concert with a great deal of preconceived notions,” Chancler suggested. “The arrangements allow four musicians to share how their instruments can coalesce and transcend the boundaries of strings, bass and percussion with exceptional beauty and multi-faceted appeal.” Piano by Nature brings the Sophisticated Ladies to the Hand House on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 4 and 5. The program features some known and lesser-known works by Schumann, Clarke, Hahn, Hawkins, Piazzolla, and more. Performances begin at 7 p.m. on Nov. 4 and at 3 p.m. on Nov. 5. Tickets are $15 per adult and $5 for 15-and-under. Patrons who wish to can give extra towards the 20th Anniversary season and/or sponsor a ticket for a student or a senior.

Sun editor awarded for journalistic excellence
New York State Association of Health Care Providers honors reporter for dispatches on aide crisis By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
ALBANY | Sun Community News Managing Editor Pete DeMola has been honored for excellence in journalism by the New York State Association of Health Care Providers (HCP). Nominated by Rebecca Leahy, executive director of North Country Home Services, DeMola is the first reporter to receive the HCP Journalistic Excellence in Support of Home Care Award since the Associated Press’ Richard Richtmyer in 2008.
This prestigious award follows a six-part series written by DeMola earlier this year on the challenges facing the North Country’s home health care industry. Articles in the series, which was pub-
lished in weekly installments in February and March, ranged from drilling down into insurance ratios, exploring long-term demographic trends to spending time on the road with health care workers and their patients. “Getting the story right is the keystone of what we do as reporters,” DeMola said. “I’m humbled to be honored by such an esteemed organization and truly appreciate their confidence and support.” DeMola worked with patients, aides, health care providers and even panned out to look at over-arcing legislation, all the while keeping a human element in each piece. “I could just tell from talking to him that he was an exceptional young man,” said Leahy. “I was impressed with his intelligence and his commitment to getting it right, and especially the compassion he had for the people that he interviewed.” Oftentimes reporters, when covering homecare, focus on the negative side of things — they focus on fraud, agencies doing something wrong, aides stealing something — but in his series, DeMola spotlighted the challenges permeating the industry and how worthwhile aides’ work is, said HCP President Claudia Hammar. “Finding an aide that comes to your home — that person really becomes a part of your family,” Hammar said. “But it’s a professional relationship. He covered that so well. He made it so meaningful, and so anyone could understand. That is what’s so great about these articles.” “We are all very proud of Pete,” said Sun Community News Publisher Dan Alexander in a statement. “It says a lot when your peers, and now a statewide agency, recognize the valuable service we render to the community. “We are honored to have someone with Pete’s skills and drive leading our editorial team here at The Sun as we continue to expand our capabilities in the region.” Following his graduation from Syracuse

He joined the editorial team at Sun Community News in December of 2013. The HCP’s Journalistic Excellence in Support of Home Care Award was presented to DeMola at the annual HCP Awards Luncheon in Albany on Oct. 25.

Five-term Wilmington Supervisor faces challenger Preston, Sibalski both running as independents
WILMINGTON | In Wilmington, incumbent supervisor and Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston, an independent, is challenged by Thomas Sibalski, who is also running as an independent for the two-year term. ■
By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER
RANDY S. PRESTON
THOMAS SIBALSKI
Age: 58 Occupation: President, Century Fire Apparatus; sales, VCI Emergency Vehicles Party: Independent, People’s Party
Age: 65 Occupation: Accountant, local business owner Party: Independent, Progressive Party
Qualifications: Incumbent Supervisor, Town of Wilmington, five two-year terms; Chairman, Essex County Board of Supervisors; member, Wilmington Fire Department for 40 years, serving as chief for 14 years; past chairman of the board of fire commissioners; served on numerous Essex County Board of Supervisor committees.
Qualifications: Controller, Town of North Elba; director of finance, Town of Salem; member, Lake Placid School Board; former supervisor, Town of Wilmington, 1994-1995. What do you hope to accomplish if elected? Aggressively pursue federal and state grants to complete town infrastructure: water line extensions up Bonneview and Springfield roads. Seek public and private funding to promote our community. Set forth investment tools for businesses to seek low-cost funding for capital improvements of business properties and seek low-interest loans for those wishing to start business or for existing businesses. Enforce current zoning laws; set up an education center to re-tool and re-educate citizens in the community for better job opportunities. Provide job information on the town website. Businesses would provide job openings to the town, and citizens would be able to access those jobs. Enhance the youth program to include on-the-job training programs for personal enhancement in conjunction with environmental and educational programs.
What do you hope to accomplish if re-elected? To continue forward with improvements throughout town. Recent improvements and recreation planning have brought about the expansion of mountain bike trails on the Wilmington Wild Forest, a project for recreational trails approved by the Adirondack Park Agency with guidance from the Department of Environmental Conservation. This year, the first annual Wilmington MTB Festival coordinated with Barkeater Trails Alliance (BETA) added another exciting biking event to the schedule of races and festivals in Wilmington. It was a real success and will continue as an annual event. The town has become a shining model for recreation use and mountain biking experience in the Adirondack Park. Additions approved to the trail system include handicapped access to an overlook off Hardy Road with a breathtaking view. We have rerouted Cooper Kiln snowmobile trail and outdoor opportunities for year-round recreation continue to grow. Advocated for and helped secure $12 million in state funding for repairs to the Whiteface Mountain Veterans’ Memorial Highway in 2014 and the roadway has been resurfaced, walls stabilized, drainage repaired along with resetting historic stone barriers. Installation of the new $3.2 million summit elevator to the summit of Whiteface is due to be completed next year. Added handicapped fishing deck area to Lake Everest beach and nature trail with grant funding that continues to improve Wilmington’s recreational access and appearance. Secured local waterfront grants from DOS for recreation path down Springfield and Fox Farm Road and grant funding for rental skates at Youth Center. As incumbent supervisor, what have you most enjoyed achieving for Wilmington while in office? I have enjoyed the many, many improvements in Wilmington over the past few years, and the overall expansion of our town’s recreational — hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling — trail systems, roadway improvements and the waterfront along with the addition of many new events.
As a former supervisor, what did you enjoy achieving for Wilmington while in office? (The town) changed course from installing wells to utilizing existing water source. This saved the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes. The landfill closure plan, prior to my being in office, was to truck 450,000 yards of material from Jay. My proposal was to utilize existing material from our existing landfill to fulfill requirement. The result saved hundreds of thousands of dollars to the taxpayer. Sought and obtained a quarter of a million dollars in additional monies for the promotion of Essex County tourism with no increase in taxes. Expanded the town youth program to include numerous activities such as ski trips, hiking excursions, major league baseball trips, etc. Where is the youth program today? Sought and received Community Development Block Grants, water improvement grant and emergency water grant that improved and repaired the existing water source.
What’s a little-known fact about you? Most people don’t know that a favorite pastime for me is flying hang gliders. ■
What’s a little-known fact about you? Avid hiker, Adirondack 46er and walked the Northville-Placid Trail (140 miles). ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline
The American lifespan
A recent study showed the U.S. retirement age is rising as the government pushes it higher and By Dan Alexander workers stay in the workforce longer: • PUBLISHER • some by choice and others by life’s realities. Sadly, lifespans aren’t necessarily getting any longer to offer more time on the beach. The data suggests Americans’ health is declining and millions of middle-age workers face the prospect of shorter, and less active, retirements than their parents enjoyed. This wasn’t the math we expected to realize when we were younger. An improved and vibrant economy, advanced medical technology, and in general, a healthier lifestyle with less pollution and smoke were to make our golden years, well, golden. Here are the stats: The U.S. ageadjusted mortality rate-a measure of the number of deaths per year-rose 1.2 percent from 2014 to 2015, according to the Society of Actuaries. That’s the first year-over-year increase since 2005, and only the second rise greater than 1 percent since 1980. At the same time, the American life expectancy is stalling, public policy and career tracks mean millions U.S. workers are waiting longer to join the Geritol crowd. This will only get worse as the Baby Boomer generation drops out of the workforce. A recent change at the Social Security Administration changed the age at which people can claim their full Social Security benefits, as it gradually moves up, from 65 years of age for those retiring in 2002 to 67 in 2027. Almost one in three Americans age 65 to 69 are still working, along with nearly one in five in their early 70s. Postponing retirement, on one hand, can make financial sense, as it extends careers making it possible to afford retirements that last well into ones 90’s or even past the 100-year mark. But a study out this month adds some cautionary flags to that calculation. Americans in their late 50s are already suffering more serious health problems than people at the same ages did 10 to 15 years ago, according to the journal Health Affairs. Life is simply unpredictable. Nothing can ever be taken for granted. While we need to live in the present, we also need to prepare for the future. So enjoy the journey and take time the while you can to smell the flowers along the way. ■

Your vote critical in local races It’s that time of year when we dust off our bully pulpit and tell everyone to go vote. Election Day is on Tuesday. If the past year has left you with a bad taste in your mouth and numb from politics, you’re not alone. We’ve got whiplash from the constant hyper-partisanship, ennui from an ineffective Congress and a general sense of unease from the tendrils wafting up from Washington, D.C. — including this past week’s criminal indictments as part of a probe into Russian involvement in U.S. elections. You can be forgiven for tuning everything political out. But voting matters, it really does! Th is is an off-year election, which means state and federal representatives are not on the ballot. Voter turnout tends to be low. But the stakes are actually incredibly high. There are countless critical state and local issues that could use your voice. For beginners, there are three statewide initiatives located on the back of this year’s ballot. Voters statewide will be asked on Tuesday, Nov. 7 to authorize a constitutional convention, rescind pensions from public of-

Rural hospice programs are severely underutilized To the Editor: Though never easy, as a veteran hospice nurse I know that the most peaceful and comfortable of deaths may be the benefit of an early admission to hospice. Yes, hospice is about dying; that scary, not-to- be-thoughtof but inevitable event. High Peaks Hospice addresses the physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs of people with terminal illness. Anyone with a prognosis of six months or less is eligible for hospice and any diagnosis including heart disease, renal failure, COPD, dementia, cancer and more qualifies. At present, hospice services are severely underused. This places the sustainability of a rural hospice program in jeopardy, and most importantly, it means that many people are not receiving the end of life care they deserve.

ficials convicted of felonies and greenlight a landbank in the Adirondacks. We opined on each those earlier this month. Zooming in, we cannot overstate the magnitude of how everyday public policy impacts the lives of ordinary people at the local level. Local officials provide most of the services that constitute your daily interaction with government. Yes, property taxes play a leading role. But while managing budgets and setting your tax rate is an important part of what local governments do, officeholders do far more than just control the purse strings: Having an engaged and competent group of public officials can really make or break a community’s fortunes. While each of our North Country towns are unique and have their own specialized issues, most of them face the same broad challenges. All towns struggle with ensuring up-todate wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, maintaining a year-round economy and attracting young people to ensure the survival of local school districts. You’d be surprised what the right forward-looking leadership can accomplish. We’ve seen great things happen.
Over 30 percent of High Peaks Hospice patients die in less than seven days on service. Last quarter, 20 hospice referrals were made so late they died before admission. Delayed referrals often mean unnecessary hospital admissions and rushed efforts to get patients home to die with hospice. Earlier hospice admission improves the quality of one’s days and possibly the quantity of days due to the accessibility of care and prompt treatment of symptoms. Death is a difficult subject for doctors, families and patients. Where to start? Say the “D” word. Though hard, once acknowledged you can begin to live in the now. Learn all you can about your illness, the prognosis, treatment options, side effects and likely outcomes, so you can make decisions consistent with your values. Ask your doctor to counsel you on your wishes for medical care and complete Advanced Directives. I suggest the video “Being Mortal,” which can be seen on PBS Frontline at pbs.org/video/frontline-beingmortal. And I recommend that if you, your loved one or your patient

Highlights can range from the tangible — like the flourishing of pickleball courts and recreational trails to locking in competitive grants, for instance — to the more abstract, like forceful lobbying for local issues at the state and federal level and generating a sense of excitement and vitality for their communities. In contrast, we’ve seen how adrift or incompetent leadership can cripple towns on things like infrastructure and economic development. So as you drive past those campaign signs, consider that in many of these small communities, town council and supervisor races are often decided by a handful of votes. Those who don’t vote regularly — the young, the poor and the uneducated — have different needs and visions for their community than their more engaged counterparts, including the older and the affluent. The absence of these voices has implications simply because elected officials tend not to value the opinions of those who don’t bother to show up. So what’s it going to be? Your vote could mean the difference between a thriving downtown and a graveyard. See you at your local polling place. ■ -Sun Community News Editorial Board

Stop the bully politics in Schroon To the Editor: I recently read a letter sent to Schroon Lake voters from a town board member calling certain other town board members incompetent, et cetera. He says he speaks for us, the people of Schroon Lake, and even tells us who to vote for. I am appalled by this. This is the same person who was reported as telling someone to shut up at a town board meeting about the proposed Stewart’s expansion — which shockingly enough is rearing its ugly head again. We, the people, have never voted for the library expansion nor the Stewart’s debacle. Yet the powers that be publicly proclaim the “citizens want it and need it.” I applaud the few town board 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.

members and others that try to have meaningful and open discussions and resolutions of issues that affect us all. I resent the small-minded, bullying politics that is causing discord, mistrust and a tragic undermining of our democracy. The homeowners in opposition to Stewart’s have a right to protect their properties, and we the people have a right to a voice regarding the matter because the zoning laws have now been perverted and we face increasing taxes, legal problems and fiscal issues. This is real incompetence. The people of Schroon Lake need to step up and vote out of incompetent bullies who try to shut down the democratic process. We should support those who stand up for us not to be railroaded. Give us information. Give us more open discussions — in a place big enough for all the people to come to. Then give us a voice.

Setting the record straight on Schroon Stewart’s vote To the Editor: Recently you published a letter by someone who made a disparaging anti-Semitic remark to my brother, Roger. She stated that it was an attempt at humor. Her choice of words and intent were anything but humorous. Fact: Hate speech and an-
ti-Semitism are increasing in America and around the world. With a blend of fabrication and innuendo, she accuses Roger of a conflict of interest. Stewart’s sells a huge volume of gasoline and is a convenience store. Roger is part-owner and landlord of Tops. He has no say in their operations. They are a supermarket with limited crossover products. Her claim is dead wrong. She goes on to state that Roger should abstain and then address his concerns with the planning board as they have jurisdiction over site plan review.
Fact: The planning board has no review of this project. She accuses Roger of shifting his position. Fact: From the beginning, Roger worked toward compromise, since once the town board approves the project, there is no planning board oversight. Stewart’s wants to build a new store not because they want to do us a favor, but so they can make more money. Good for them! They are a well-run company and know what they are doing. Working for all taxpayers of the Town of Schroon, Roger wanted
to first find a path to compromise. He understood from the get-go that Stewart’s wasn’t going to walk away from this project. At the town board meeting on Oct. 16, Stewart’s agreed to work towards compromise and Roger voted yes! Good for Roger for having the courage to work for the best possible agreement for the town in the face of adversity. Now everyone has a better chance of winning! Isn’t that what we want from our elected representatives? Joel Friedman, Schroon Lake ■

Four vie for two seats on Chesterfield Town Council Lowering costs for seniors, broadening access to local food key issues in local council race By Pete DeMola EDITOR
PATRICK MITCHELL
Age: 61 Occupation: Retired from New York State Department of Corrections; owner, Timberking Northeast (Keeseville) Party line: Democratic, independent What are your qualifications? Mitchell has attended town board meetings for the past 15 years, and has served in a number of capacities, including past chairman of the Chesterfield Planning Board and current chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals. He is also a state-certified building code officer. “I’ve worked in town government for the people in the last 15 years in different capacities,” Mitchell said. What are the most pressing issues facing the community? “Our taxes, looking for ways to get these taxes down, and trying to get industry in here, into our industrial park, is my big thing. Get some local work.” Mitchell, a past president of the Chesterfield Fish and Game Club, stressed the importance of youth programs. “We need to keep our youth active and busy with things. We have great abilities here, great people.”
CHESTERFIELD | Four candidates are running for two four-year terms on the Chesterfield Town Council. Incumbents Clayton Barber and Richard Klages are defending their seats against challengers Steven Googin and Patrick Mitchell. Voters head to the polls on Tuesday, Nov.
7. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Keeseville Knights of Columbus on Route 9. ■
CLAYTON BARBER (INCUMBENT)
What are your qualifications? Googin is deeply involved in the region’s food and farm sectors. He helped start the Adirondack Farmers Coalition, a local chapter of the national organization, and was recently nominated and elected to serve on the board of directors of the Essex County Farm Bureau. He serves on the board of the North Country Food Co-Op in Plattsburgh; as Essex County representative for Adirondack Harvest and on the board of the Makers Guild in Willsboro, an organization studying how to convert the former IGA building in Willsboro into a “makerspace,” or a community center designed to serve as a hub for small-scale manufacturing.
Age: 56 Occupation: Account manager for Pepsi Party line: Republican
What are your qualifications? “I’ve been in office for four years, and have been in the community for 34 years.” Barber is an officer at the Keeseville Elks Club. He’s tapped to become the Exalted Ruler next year. “It’s one of the biggest organizations as far as donations to the community.” The organization raised $5,000 for victims of Hurricane Harvey last month. What are some of your accomplishments, and what do you hope to accomplish if re-elected? Barber cited ongoing efforts to improve the former village water system as a leading accomplishment alongside the installation of the Auger Pond Dam. Attracting a grocery store and senior center to the community is top on Barber’s to-do list if reelected to another four-year term.
What are your goals if elected? “My goal is to get some industry here to work on that with the (Industrial Development Agency).” If elected, Mitchell said he will not accept town-funded health insurance in order to reduce government expenses.
What are the most pressing issues facing the community? Seniors are being priced out of the area, he said. “I’d also like to pass a senior citizen income tax reduction. Seniors are selling their property along the lakefront because they cannot afford their taxes — I think there’s a lot of people moving out of New York state because of that reason. It’s a statewide issue.” Bringing the water system into compliance is also critical. “It was in poor shape, and we’re trying to improve it daily,” Barber said.
What’s a little-known fact about you? “I always try to help people out as much as possible. I’ve always tried to help different organizations when they needed it.” ■
What’s a little-known fact about you? “I’m a nice guy, I guess. I’m very involved in the community, and my people will testify to that.” ■
STEVEN GOOGIN
Age: 33 Occupation: Co-owner, North Country Creamery Party line: Democratic, independent (Farmer’s Party)
What do you hope to accomplish if elected? While the community is now home to the Farmacy — a local fresh market occupying the former Keeseville Pharmacy — the town still needs a more traditional grocery store. “I would love to see a more robust grocery store,” he said. Providing residents with affordable access to healthier food is a priority, as is getting people more involved in their community. “I feel like I’m good at bringing people together to get more pizzazz in things related to town,” Googin said.
RICHARD KLAGES (INCUMBENT)
Age: 72 Occupation: Retired highway maintenance worker with Greenthumb Party line: Republican, independent What are your qualifications? Klages has served as a councilman for 24 years. He is involved in a number of local organizations, including the Elks, Masons and 45 years with the Keeseville Fire Department, where he has carried every rank from lieutenant to chief. Klages has served as deputy town supervisor intermittently for a total of three years. He also serves on several town committees, including disaster preparedness and a committee tasked with negotiating cable contracts, and serves as a trustee at the United Methodist Church. “I’ve been in the community all my life, and have got a lot of respect for it and the people in it,” he said. What are some of your accomplishments? Klages cited completion of the Auger Lake Dam and Port Kent Water System, as well as the development of Jaycee Park in Keeseville, as accomplishments. He said he would like to see additional fields installed at Jaycee Park, a measure that would aid local youth programs. “I’ve always supported the youth programs,” Klages said. On senior citizens: “We’re working on trying to get a tax break for them.”
What are the most pressing issues facing the community? “I just want the community to band together more and utilize resources we have,” Googin said. “We need to help each other out to make sure everyone has a better quality of life.” Resiliency is key, he said, and so is broadening access to local food. “I’d like to increase our community’s resiliency. We’ve got a good food scene, and I would like to expand to make sure everybody can take advantage of it. If the town partners with community groups, we can apply for grants to help lead the way to greater community resilience.”
What are the most pressing issues facing the community? An empty lot on Thompson Road has been the long-planned location of a senior center. “We got the property all set up, an industrial park,” said Klages. “Companies big and small came looking. But every time something came in, the state and towns come and take it away from us. We get the door slammed in our face, but we don’t give up.” Seniors are forced to leave the community to find affordable housing, said Klages. “They want to stay around the ones they love.” Upgrading the water plant is key, he said, as well as securing tenants for the industrial park is also a leading concern. “We can’t compete with other counties and other states.”
What’s a little-known fact about you? “I like to sing and play guitar.” ■
What’s a little-known fact about you? “I’ve lived here all my life. They know how I walk and how I talk.” ■

» Merger Meeting Cont. from pg. 1 The state, Pole said, would pay 90 percent of that cost if the schools merged and the plan was developed and implemented within 10 years of the merger date. New construction, he said, does not have to be specifically an entire school building K through 12, but could also apply to a bus garage, a separate science/math or gymnasium or sports facility. New construction also covers renovations to existing buildings, Pole said. Both school districts have similar figures encompassing work that currently needs to be done, according to the state’s required five-year Building Condition Survey (BCS), which reflects the “minimum work needed to maintain the schools and keep them operational, but does not address other educational improvements.” In Westport, the BCS reports $1.2 million in repairs needed, including $120,000 for a new roof that was built in 1954 and $50,000 for site sanitary replacement. In Elizabethtown, the BCS shows just nearly $1.2 million in repairs, including $150,000 for a new roof and $192,000 to replace exterior walls/columns. Some of the emergency work included in the BCS report was completed late last year under emergency order. In addition to routine repair assessment, WCS has set priorities for capital work on a list of items that would benefit school educational programs. The eight items highlighted in Westport’s (wish list) report total $1.3 million and include $350,000 to replace the school’s 1930’s vintage science labs and another $200,00 to replace the school’s 1930’s vintage technology shops. ELCS is working on a similar “wish list,” Pole said, itemizing priorities for improvements to classroom programs. Similar to building repair costs, both ELCS
and WCS have deteriorating bus garage facilities. Repairs at the ELCS garage, which has “significant deterioration,” according to state reports, are estimated at about $1 million. Repairs at the WCS garage, which is “severely deteriorated,” according to state reports, are estimated to be just under $600,000. Neither school has its own complete set of athletic fields, the consultants review indicates, although the combined Westport-Elizabethtown-Lewis Griffins’ soccer program has been able to utilize the fields at Camp Dudley for its regulation play. Again, existing facilities at both schools are similar with relatively new gymnasiums and baseball fields. The $50 million projected for a new school, Pole said, includes two soccer fields, baseball facilities and a swimming pool. “We’re not suggesting it’s a good idea. We’re not suggesting it’s a bad idea,” Pole said of the idea to build a new school. The 90 percent state building aid also applies to repairs or facility expansion. The current state of school facilities’ needs and estimated costs weighed against 90 percent state aid in a merger drew much conversation among the 20 committee members. It also drew questions from the dozen or so community members in attendance. “I don’t think this is going to be any small part of anyone’s decision,” committee member Paul Buehler said. Buehler, a physical education instructor and athletic director at ELCS, expressed his observations over 20 years teaching and coaching teams both at ELCS and for merged programs. “Between these two school (and he said he has been to 100 schools), if 10 was the best (rated), we are around a 1 or a 2.” Despite community work efforts, he said “We are still not keeping pace and thank God

for Camp Dudley. I hope that this is a major consideration in this (merger review process).” Committee members asked about existing district debt, a topic which Pole said will be covered at the February meeting. But in response, he said existing debt for a combined district is aided at the higher of the previous school districts. Committee member Ryan Hathaway, of Westport, asked if the state “puts any weight into (building aid) if we put money into the existing buildings first?” “I’ve never heard of the state saying you can’t build a new school (after repairs). Incentive building aid is good for 10 years,” Pole said. Westport businessman Sam Sherman asked if the state provides aid for demolition of buildings, should a school be left unused. “Yes,” Pole answered. The importance of each building in each community was highlighted by a tally of groups that use them. Consultants found community groups, including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, area fire departments, Essex County Emergency Services, Essex County 4-H, youth commissions in all three towns, Elizabethtown Social Center, Adirondack Community Action Programs, the American Red Cross are among more than 20 groups that use the buildings. As to an immediate use of the buildings, Pole said their study looks at a plan to keep elementary schools in each community. Westport kindergarten to Grade 6 students would stay in Westport, and ELCS elementary children would stay in Elizabethtown, he said of the template, which can be altered. The combined middle school would be located at the Westport facility with high school students attending classes in Elizabethtown. Pole said this template does not necessarily have to make a final recommendation. And he
reiterated that merged schools have 10 years to utilize the state’s building aid assistance boost. ■

» Stefanik Cont. from pg. 1 Ditching the state and local tax deduction known as SALT would raise $1.3 trillion in revenue over the next decade. But state and federal politicians from New York argue repealing the tax break would amount to a form of double taxation for residents of high-tax states like New York, New Jersey and California. The coalition — including Democratic U.S. Sens. Schumer and Gillibrand — also claims the repeal would push people into higher marginal tax brackets, reduce incentives to work and kill job growth. All but two members of New York’s ninemember GOP delegation voted against the bills, with only Reps. Chris Collins and Tom Reed voting to move forward with the budget resolution. Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the SALT repeal a “three-card Monte” and excoriated the two lawmakers, accusing of them of voting against the best interests of their constituents. “I think it’s modern day treason against the state,” Cuomo said in a joint conference call Friday with California Gov. Jerry Brown. “I think they are the Benedict Arnolds of today, because they voted against the inter-

ests of the people in their districts. Period. This is just the most cynical version of their politics, which is politics of division.” Brown called the proposed repeal, which is supported by President Donald Trump, politically motivated. “This is an attack on California, New York and New Jersey and other states, with a few exceptions, that did not vote for Trump,” he said. Brown said the repeal would increase the deficit and benefit corporations. Furthermore, the lack of transparency in crafting the resolution reeked of authoritarianism, he said. “We see that totalitarianism is being intensified in various parts of the world,” he said. “It’s really dismaying, if not tragic, to see the same kind of lack of transparency, the power of those in power, just grabbing what they want and not having a proper respect for, in this case, the minority party which is the Democrats,” he said. Cuomo said tax reform is a confusing topic for voters. But, he said: “I guarantee you they will understand it a year from today when they walk into an election booth.” About 3.4 million state residents claim the deduction each year, according to the

governor’s office. Without the deduction, New Yorkers would have to pay an average of $6,000 more in federal income taxes annually, Cuomo said. New Yorkers reported more than $72 billion in such federal deductions in 2015, including $51.7 billion for income taxes and $20.9 billion for property taxes, according to a report released last week by state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. Statewide, the average SALT deduction is $10,000, with numbers considerably less in the North Country. The average deduction for Clinton County taxpayers in 2015 was $6,429, according to the report. In Essex, that number was $7,698; Franklin: $7,528; Hamilton: $5,653 and Warren, $8,272. The fight over SALT marks the latest in a long line of dust-ups between Cuomo and House Republicans since Trump took office in January. Cuomo, a Democrat, has previously sparred with lawmakers over the repeal of “Obamacare,” particularly a measure that would have relieved counties from paying Medicaid shares, and has drawn swords with the White House on numerous fronts.
The National Republican Congressional Committee said the governor “refuses to take responsibility for a fiscal crisis he created.” “As New Yorkers of all income levels flee the state due to excessive state income and property taxes, Cuomo continues to blame others for his policy failures in Albany,” said National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Chris Martin in a statement. “Cuomo’s inability to cut taxes and control spending at the state level is clearly weighing down his delusional presidential aspirations and forcing him to blame House Republicans.” Stefanik previously voted in support of the $4.1 trillion budget plan on Oct. 5, citing the need for tax reform. “Congresswoman Stefanik remains committed to achieving comprehensive tax reform and will be working with her colleagues in the New York delegation to address this issue in a final tax plan,” said Flanagin. “Congresswoman Stefanik’s priority for tax reform is ensuring families and businesses in our district receive needed tax relief.” The Senate approved the budget plan last week, and House lawmakers are expected to introduce their tax bill this week. ■

Blue Bombers continue dynastic run Novick, Plank lead way in kicks By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

SARANAC | Jacob Novick made three saves and Hayden Plank stepped to the penalty kick line for the Lake Placid varsity boys soccer team with a chance to win the team’s sixth straight title on his foot. “I knew I just had to put my head down and place it,” Plank said. “Didn’t want to put it over the net.” The shot went into the net, and the Blue Bombers did celebrate their sixth consecutive title with a 2-1 win over Northern Adirondack Oct. 25. For the Bombers, it completed a sectional stretch which involved the team winning both the semifinals and finals on kicks. “We have never been to a shootout in any of the six and now we have had two,” coach Stuart Hemsley said. “The same five guys just jumped up and said same order. Hayden’s mom was nervous he was even on the list and now he wins us the game today. It was a great game.” “I went with my instinct and then did what I could do from there,” said Novick, who finished with 10 saves. “We didn’t doubt it, we were not playing the best we could in the season but once we got to sectionals we knew what we wanted.” The Bobcats opened scoring when Noah Lambert hit a
hard shot which was deflected by Novick away from the goal but to the feet of Cody Peryea, who was able to tuck the ball into the net on a second chance shot in the 30th minute, The game remained the same until the last 15 minutes, when the Blue Bombers seemed to start a run, capped off when Jaquim Benavides scored on a Jarell Paul assist to tie the game in the 74th minute. “I saw the ball and went straight for it to hit it,” Benavides said. “It was pure joy. They had told me a bout the streak and I feel good being part of that. It has been amazing here in Lake Placid and playing some great soccer and getting good results.” The game then headed into the two 15-minute overtime periods before going to kicks for the victorious Bombers, who have learned a lot over the past two weeks, according to their coach. “We are still learning and we learned a lot this season,” Hemsley said. “Today was proof what I have been teaching since August, the profits are coming out now. We are not creating the chances I would like to see us create but they will come.” “We have to continue to work hard,” Plank said. “We have really started to gel and work better as a team.” The Bombers will next play at Plattsburgh High School Tuesday, Nov. 1, where they will take on St. Lawrence at 5 p.m. in the regional semifinals. ■

Saranac Chiefs get their football title Class C crown first title for football program By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
CLINTONVILLE | The Saranac Chiefs made history Oct. 28, coming from a program which had to cut their season short two years ago to it’s first-ever Section VII championship in football with a 21-12 win over perennial Class C power Saranac Lake. In a close contest, the second quarter proved to be the key for the Chiefs, as quarterback Luke Maye took to the ground, running in scores of 11 and six yards to give Saranac a 21-6 lead heading into the second half, a lead they would not give up as Maye finished with 138 yards rushing, 30 yards passing and intercepted a pass of the defensive side of the line of scrimmage. The Chiefs finished with 282 yards rushing, compared to 125 for Saranac Lake. Keagan Wood added 90 yards for the Chiefs, while Jarrett Ashton was the top runner for the Red Storm with 112 yards, with DJ Morgan adding 85 yards passing. The Chiefs (5-4) will now travel into Section X to face their champion, OFA, with time and site to be determined. ■

Chazy repeats with win over Willsboro By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
Willsboro's Joseph King had a strong game in net for the Warriors against Chazy, who proved to be too much for the third seed in capturing the Class D title. Photo by Jill Lobdell
PLATTSBURGH | While the Willsboro Warriors played a strong 80 minutes of soccer on the PHS turf Oct. 28, the top seed Chazy Eagles just had too many answers to everything the third seed tried in a 4-0 win for the defending Class D champions. Josh McCauley had a goal and assist in the win, while Hayden King, Tristen Conners and Justin Collins also scored. Ben Norcross made a pair of saves to preserve the win, being the last man back on a defense which has not allowed a goal in the past 11 games, having allowed only one goal to a Section VII opponent (PHS) and three overall (3-2 win over OFA). No Class D team has scored a goal against the Eagles. “Sometimes I do not have to do a lot because they are so good,” Norcorss said. “It is something our team looked forward to as we headed into the end of the regular season and it is something I give the credit to the boys in front of me.” “At first I was a little nervous but now I am more calm,” sweeper Nathan Trombly said. “I have seen it all so there is not much that surprises me. All five of us communicate with each other to see what is open and lock down plays.” “It has been phenomenal. It is a great group
of guys and we all know what to do and where to be to help each other,” said defensive newcomer Ely Moak. “At times, I am able to get forward and get some crosses in, but we always focus on our defensive effort with each other,” said Hunter Bechard. “Coming into the season three of us have been playing together and adding in Ely as a senior has been great,” Bryan McAfee said. “We need to keep playing hard and stay at this peak we are at. We go in knowing that we can lose but believing we can win any game.” “I think the guys in the back can go underappreciated at times but not by us,” coach Rob McAuliffe said. “They have played so well and we feel so confident with the way they are playing now going onto Saturday, We they can continue that, we feel good about our chances.” McAuliffe said his team came up against a strong opponent in Willsboro. “I think Willsboro played very well, and we were not surprised by that,” he said. “We knew King (nine saves) was a very good goalie and he showed us that today, They frustrated us for the first 28 minutes and I think that is where the experience comes in on our part that we had guys who were not flustered by not getting that goal. But when it came, there was definitely relief.” The Eagles will next face Section X’s Madrid-Waddington. ■
Lady Griffins run ends in sectional finals By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | While some questioned having the wind in their faces in the first of the Section VII/Class D finals Oct. 28, Moriah coach Christina Slattery saw it as the ace in the hole. For the second straight game, a goal into the win was the difference as the Lady Vikings scored three times when they had a wind advantage in the second half for a 4-3 victory over the Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport Lady Griffins. “I don’t want to have the wind in my face in the second half when the team is tired,” Slattery said. “I always want the wind at my back in the second half and it was a factor today. I assumed the wind was going to continue. We wanted to ride with that in the second half.” The comeback from a 3-1 halftime deficit was competed when Juliette Baker, who scored the opening goal of the second half on a corner kick rebound, rifled a shot from 40-yards away from the goal which sailed high and over the hands of Griffin Keeper Malynda Lobdell. “It meant the world to me to get back with my hard working and dedicated team because soccer is my sport and I love playing with this team,” Baker said. “I saw an open shot off a great pass from Stephania and I thought, why not. It went in and it was just an unbelievable feeling.” “Juliette is one of the most trustworthy, consistent players we have,” Zelinski said. “We have changed our formation a
lot this year and focused on having strong defense and look to keep the middle stable. I think we did a good job being confident and get the ball to people like Juliette.” “I knew Juliette was going to pound that ball,” Slattery said. “She was doubting herself some in the first half and I don’t know why. Stephania is a bull in a China shop. She wants it and she will give you everything.” Ellie Storey scored all three goals for the Griffins in the first half, but Moriah was able to get one goal from Hailey Crossman before halftime. Crossman also scored in the second half, collecting a pair of rebounds and converting on the third opportunity. Crossman said it was key for the Vikings to get scoring from other avenues as leading scorer Maddie Olcott was marked well by Griffin’s freshman Analise Burdo, “We knew other people had to step up when we saw they were not going to give Maddie a shot,” Crossman said. “She never gave up on either of those goals and kept in there,” said Slattery of Crossman’s goals. Hayes made nine saves in the win for the Vikings, while Lobdell had 10 in the loss. The Vikings will face Section X champion Edwards-Knox Saturday, Nov. 4, noon at Plattsburgh High School, with the winner earning a spot in the NYSPHSAA Final Four. “We want to get back to the field and practice,” Crossman said. Baker echoed the sentiment. “We can’t wait to get back to practice and to putting in some hard work,” she said. ■

Bobcats earn fifth C title over AVCS Northern Soccer League. “We lost four to five games that we let slip away,” Gilmore said, “We very well could have had nine or ten wins instead of being 4-10-2 (currently 6-10-2). We didn’t catch a break all season. The seniors did a good job keeping everyone positive and I kept telling the girls what we were trying to get ready for.” In the 14th minute, Gilmore scored on an assist from Olivia Paiser for the only goal of the game. “I didn’t think I was going to be at the right spot and didn’t think it was going in,” Gilmore said. “We have been able to work as a team and communicate more on the field.” “Super big to get the goal early,” coach Gilmore said. “We have tended to come out slow and build from there. We had some opportunities in the first half. They scrapped it together and did not give up.”
By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
SARANAC | The Northern Adirondack Lady Bobcats have been through five coaches in the past five years, and all of those coaches have one thing in common. Section championships. Kelly Gilmore became the fifth coach to lead the Bobcats to the title in as many years, as third seeded NAC defeated fourth seed AuSable Valley, 1-0, on Brynne Gilmore’s goal in the 14th minute Oct. 25. “I give them a lot of credit for going through this and they have adjusted to something different every year,” Gilmore said. “The seniors have worked hard all season and they have stayed positive.” Gilmore added the win was the reward of a hard fought season in Division II of the
Aiden Lambert, in her second varsity start as a goalie — both in sectionals — picked up her second shutout with six saves, “I’ve been really nervous but after a while you get really excited to play,” Lambert said. “I really didn’t know I was going to move up but when I was asked I was really excited.” Lambert said her relationship with Paige Chilton, who moved from the net to striker, has been key. “I ask Paige for her help all of the time and she is willing to give me any tips I need,” Lambert said. “Aiden has done a great job. She is strong back there, she asks for help and uses what we tell her in the game,” Chilton said. “It’s been a difficult change to move up front, but my teammates have helped me on the field and everyone is positive with each other. Everyone has stuck together as a team.”
“Paige has made a huge difference out on the field,” Gilmore said. For the Patriots, Koree Stillwell made 11 saves in the loss. ■

PHS wins historic sectional swim meet
AuSable Valley's Allison McCormick,far left, won the 500 free at the Section VII championships. By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
CLINTONVILLE | No one had ever seen this before — two teams even in points heading into the final race of the Section VII girl’s varsity swimming championships.
Yet, there they were, defending champion Plattsburgh High and Peru, having matched each other point-for-point through the first 10 events with the 400 free relay standing as the final event to determine a champion. While both teams established a best time for the season, it was Abdie Abdallah’s 58.38 second leg that pushed the Hornet’s over the top, reclaiming the Section VII title over the Indians. “That is the closest I have ever seen in all my coaching,” PHS coach Jay Ruff said. “This meet has blown me away with the amazing times the girls have produced.” One standout of the meet was Madeline Lemza of Peru, who scored wins in the 200 medley relay (with Giulia Mulligan, Emily McLane and Olivia Barnett), 200 IM, 100 free and 200 free relay (with Barnett, McLane and Ashlyn Bola). “I would say my breaststroke is my strongest,” Lemza said of her third leg of the IM. “I am looking forward to the IM at states, it is my favorite. This is also the first time a Peru relay has made states so I am pretty excited about that.” Lemza added her 100 free and anchor leg of the 200
free were the loudest, most competitive races she has been apart of all season. “I would definitely say those were my best races,” she said. “Everyone was cheering and the excitement got me excited as well. It thin that was my best split in the 50 and I knew we needed to go fast to win the event.”
STATE QUALIFIERS
AuSable Valley’s Allison McCormick scored a win in the 500 free, breaking the six minute barrier in doing so. “I did not think I was going to make it this year,” McCormick said. “I was hoping to get to six minutes but to go under six that is the greatest feeling right now.” For Moriah, who finished in fourth, Lily Williams had several strong swims and placed in the top seven multiple times. “I’m really happy because I have been beating all of my personal best times,” Williams said. “I am really hoping I can finish my best and help my team.” The winning swimmers at the Section VII tournament will compete in the NYSPHSAA tournament. ■
MORIAH WANTS ELIZABETH ST. BUILDING GONE Scozzafava to county: ‘You’re the owner, and you’re on notice”
zafava said the county currently has ownership. “The County of Essex owns it and it is a serious health risk and the county needs to go a head and take core of it,” he said. “The town will do everything it can to help, but this has to be taken down.” County attorney Dan Manning said to move forward with the potential sale of the property. “Ah, come on, we’ve sold it three times already,” Scozzafava replied. “This is about the public safety of people. The county has foreclosed for the third time so we have to do something with it. You can probably sell these lots once you get these dilapidated buildings off these lots and recoup the price for taking it down. The responsible thing is to get them down and get them cleaned up.” Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally offered a resolution to allow the town of Moriah to knock down the building, which was rejected.
By Keith Lobdell STAFF WRITER
ELIZABETHTOWN | Moriah supervisor Tom Scozzafava wants to see a building on Elizabeth Street gone as soon as possible and not sent back into a foreclosure sale. “This is the third time this property going into a county tax sale,” Scozzafava said. “It has been bought twice before by buyers who have never even looked at the site. The house is close to the street and it is ready to fall into the street. This is an absolute safety hazard.” Since the property is in foreclosure and is schedule to be part of the next tax sale, Scoz-

“If this is the first of 50 houses and not have money then you are all going to blow this budget up,” Palmer said. After the resolution was defeated, Scozzafava said he was going to make sure something got done. “If this is the way this government is going to be, fine,” he said. “You’re the owner and I am putting you on notice right now that the building is going down.” “I think we need to step up to the plate and do the right thing,” Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston said. “Any unsafe building in this county, if we own it, we need to step up to the plate come up with a plan and do the right thing.” “The buildings coming down this week or next,” Scozzafava ended. “You do whatever you need to do but with the town, this building is coming down.” ■

“If this really is such a public hazard, the county has to go in and take care of this problem,” McNally said. Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew said he wants to see the county put a policy into place when it comes to dealing with dilapidated buildings. “I would rather see a plan put in place and figure out the way to fund this then just say let’s knock a building down as is,” Merrihew said. “AI would not like to see this done as a test for a program, rather have all the facts first.” Roby Politi of North Elba asked if they could not set aside money from property sales to help fund these projects. “Take half that number and put it into a fund for the razing of these structures,” he said. County Manager Dan Palmer agreed there needed to be a funding source.
