STATE, FEDERAL LAWMAKERS PUSH TO COMBAT LYME DISEASE New York faces “ticking time bomb” as authorities

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The northeast is the epicenter of what authorities are referring to as a Lyme disease epidemic.

The tick-borne illness is characterized by agonizing pain, loss of memory and motor skills.

While recovery is possible, patients have said the lack of effective treatment options

has left them financially ruined.

And the disease is only expected to spread.

Over 90 percent of confirmed cases nationwide are being reported from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

Now state and federal health agencies are scrambling to hatch an effective response.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is pushing the U.S. Department of Health

grapple to formulate cohesive strategy

and Human Services to make good on tracking performance indicators designed to monitor the disease.

The lawmaker has cosigned a letter to Acting Health and Human Services Secretary Eric Hargan asking him to include those metrics in the 2019 Congressional Justification from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“This letter is aimed to create specific, measurable objectives to track progress as we combat Lyme Disease,” Stefanik said in a statement.

“The more we know about Lyme, the more we can do to treat patients and educate families to stop the spread of this debilitating disease.”

Those indicators include driving down the total number of cases, reducing the average time between onset of symptoms and diagnosis and increasing the number of tests that can confirm the presence of infection. » Lyme Disease Cont. on pg. 4

Local mom demands state address ‘dangerous’ Elizabethtown intersection After her son’s accident, Chantell Rowe is taking a stand

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Concerns are mounting over an intersection in Elizabethtown that residents say has long

posed a threat to public safety.

Following an incident that saw a teenager clip a vehicle on his bicycle at the intersection of state Route 9N and Water Street, his mother is petitioning the state Department of Transportation to initiate a traffic study.

“Now that I have to reason to fight about it, I feel like I should,” said Chantell Rowe.

Activist to trek from Boreas to Ray Brook Tyler Socash aims to send message to Adirondack Park Agency

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

KEENE | Environmental activists often attend Adirondack Park Agency (APA) meetings.

But most don’t hike 25 miles through rugged mountainous terrain to get there.

Tyler Socash aims send a singular message to the state agency by walking from the Boreas Ponds Tract to their Ray Brook headquarters on Nov. 16: “Overwhelming public support” exists for

Willsboro Drama Club Proudy Presents

a Wilderness classification for the entire Boreas Ponds Tract, he said.

“How many areas in the world remain where it would be possible to walk more than 25 miles through protected Wilderness to attend a meeting like this without once crossing a road?” said Socash. “That’s the possibility our children will have if we protect the entire Boreas Tract.”

Socash is a member of Adirondack Wilderness Advocates (AWA), a grassroots environmental advocacy group.

With him Socash will be carrying over 1,000 letters generated by the group’s recent letter-writing campaign urging the APA to utilize the most stringent environmental safeguards while classifying the parcel. » Boreas Cont. on pg. 5

Lewis Central School, was pedaling his bicycle down Route 9N, also known as Court Street, last month when he struck a car waiting at the westbound lane of River Street.

He escaped with minor road rash, but was deeply rattled.

The incident could be attributed to a perfect storm of converging variables.

The four-way intersection is governed by a blinking yellow light for Route 9N motorists, and a stop sign for east-west travelers. » Intersection Cont. on pg. 17

Tyler Socash will hike from the Boreas Ponds in North Hudson to the Adirondack Park Agency headquarters in Ray Brook on Nov. 16, an effort he believes will keep a spotlight on the need for the tract to be given the most stringent protections.

ELIZABETHTOWN | A local screening is set for a film delving into beauty pageant culture in Venezuela.

The Champlain Valley Film Series will present “To Be a Miss” on Saturday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall.

Director Aaron Woolf traveled to the South American nation to track the hopes and dreams of three young women who transform their lives for the chance to become Miss Venezuela.

The country has embraced the pageant culture in a way, Woolf said, that is off the charts — even more so than anywhere else in the world.

He thinks the fascination stems from when the country won Miss World in 1955.

Becoming the best at something happened when the country was seeking an identity and trying to shake off its backwater status.

A Venezuelan friend told Woolf, “If we had won a javelin competition at that moment, we’d be having javelin tournaments in every town and village.”

Beauty pageants tend to be long-hanging fruit for filmmakers, Woolf said, because they’re anachronistic.

But Venezuela proved to be a more nuanced subject.

“The fourth character is really Venezuela itself,” he said.

The film was shot before ex-President Hugo Chavez died in March 2013.

The pervasiveness of the pageant culture belied a sense of hypocrisy in a country branding itself as a socialist utopia, Woolf explained, and reflected a nation that failed to deliver on its promises of women’s equality and supporting women in the workplace.

“Even though they had this rhetoric, they really didn’t follow through with their resources,” Woolf said. “There were government-sponsored beauty pageants in almost every town and village, and there were only two women’s shelters for victims of domestic violence in the entire country.”

The flick, released in January, came before a series of bombshell reports in the New York Times and New Yorker opened the floodgates for women to come forward with revelations of sexual assault by powerful figures in the political, entertainment and media industries.

The exposes have also infiltrated the pageant world, most notably in Peru, where contestants in last week’s Miss Peru Contest ticked off statistics on femicide and sexual assault instead of their measurements.

Does “To Be a Miss” have additional resonance in this climate?

“I think it’s a film that asks serious questions about what the best way that women can contribute to society,” Woolf carefully said. “Is it in a beauty pageant, or is it as professionals?”

Woolf will introduce the film on Sunday.

“I hope it doesn’t seem like a story of some other faraway place, but a story we can relate to in the States as well.”

“To Be a Miss” will be screened on Saturday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall. Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for those under 18. ■

NCCC offers olive branch to county College seeks to improve communication channels with lawmakers

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Members of North Country Community College were on hand at the Essex County Board of Supervisors meeting Nov. 6 to bring lawmakers up to date on campus activity.

“We would like to do as much as we can,” Dr. Steve Tyrell, president of the college, said. “We want to communicate with you as much as possible and plan to be here at the Dec. 5 meeting.”

“I would like to see these communications between the board and college as much as possible,” responded North Elba supervisor Roby Politi.

On the communication front, Tyrell said staff member Chris Knight will be creating

a newsletter which will be sent to members of the board to provide regular updates on school events and issues.

As far as programs, he said the school is looking to start offering an EMT basics course in the spring semester for both noncredit and credit-bearing tracks.

“We are continuing to look at ways to meet your challenges,” Tyrell said. “We our protecting our backyard because and will not give up a space to someone who is coming from here.”

“I applaud the fact it is going to be something offered and it gets the needle moving,” said Newcomb supervisor Wes Miga. “But it’s not a dramatic degree. Maybe there should be a critical care course or paramedic course. That’s how we move people fro the scene to the hospital and it is also where a great employment opportunity would be.”

Miga added programs like those would be needed within the Essex County communities soon, as well as outside of the county.

“This is critical and a huge opportunity for employment both within and outside the county,” he said. “We are not an exporter of talent, but we could be. These are positions that are just as much in need as are doctors and nurses.”

“That is something that will be needed over the next 10 years and we are going to have to the people who are trained and ready to fill these jobs,” said County Manager Dan Palmer.

NURSING PROGRAM QUESTIONS

Minerva Supervisor Steve McNally expressed concern that Essex County residents may be getting passed over in the nursing program.

“Are we turning qualified Essex County people away from those programs and giving those positions to Vermont students,” said McNally, addressing the Ticonderoga nursing program.

“I know there are a lot of kids from Minerva who are going to the nursing program at Adirondack and we want to know why they are not being enrolled in our county’s program.”

“We look at the scores and take the best

of the best,” Tyrell said.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said NCCC needs to understand the college’s original mission was to serve local residents.

“It was for the communities of Essex and Franklin counties, and somewhere along the line, we have lost that focus,” he said. “To be very frank, there are 58 Essex County students and you do the math with what we contribute and the charge back program, we are giving a lot of money where are students are using very little of this program.”

Tyrell said the 58 student number did not represent the entire student body from Essex County.

“A lot may not go full time, they may go part time,” Tyrell said. “Others may not go to college right away. We are serving people in Essex and Franklin county in the hundreds.

I see that frustration with the supervisors that kids are not coming right out of high school, but there are a lot of non traditional students who are utilizing our services.” ■

higher than it’s been in previous years,” Allott said.

Counties do not receive federal funding to combat tick-borne illnesses, and their role is primarily outreach and general awareness.

But officials were pleased that state and federal authorities are paying attention.

“This is the greatest thing I’ve seen, heard or encountered in the past year,” said Clinton County Health Director John Kanoza, referring to the Faso/Stefanik letter.

The metrics are important to help Congress better understand the impacts of tick-borne diseases and the effectiveness of agency programs for surveillance, prevention and control, said the letter, which was spearheaded by Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook).

Lawmakers are also urging Hargan to consider a list of strategic objectives, including bolstering research and increasing cooperation between the CDC and state and local health departments.

“This guidance will basically help us work with health care providers to provide supported care,” said Susan Allott, director of preventive services at the Essex County Health Department.

The push joins legislation sponsored by U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who stumped across upstate this summer to urge federal health authorities to pull the trigger on establishing the federal advisory committee created under the legislation.

The state Department of Health estimates that the North Country had 295 cases of Lyme disease in 2015.

Cases are rising due a combination of factors, including longer, milder winters and the expansion of ticks beyond their historic geographic range.

Numbers in Clinton County reached as high as 54 cases in 2014, but then dropped off in 2015 down to 29.

Essex County has seen a comparable rise.

“Current statistics basically tell us our year-to-date rate is

SENATE REPORT

The push by Stefanik and Gillibrand comes on the heels of a new report by a state Senate task force on tick-borne diseases.

The report recommends the state create a specific protocol when it comes to notifying patients of their diagnoses.

Numerous victims testified at the hearings chaired by state Sens. Sue Serino and Kemp Hannon in August.

A constant theme running through all accounts, according to the report, was “frustration over the lengthy diagnosis process, disappointment in the efficacy of current testing procedures, misinformation and a lack of consensus in the medical community, as well as barriers to coverage from health insurance providers.”

Lyme disease is notoriously difficult to diagnose, said Chris Fisk, president of the Lyme Action Network.

“It’s an extremely complex medical condition, and it’s not well understood,” Fisk said. “This disease is quite unique in each individual and needs to be treated that way.”

State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) has cosponsored legislation that would require the state to develop a specific protocol to guide providers in properly diagnosing and treating Lyme and tick-borne diseases and require them to provide patients with a notification form to better educate them about their test results.

The bill, Little said, would “arm patients with information they need to more effectively advocate for themselves and receive swift, effective treatment.”

“It is commonly accepted that Lyme disease can be effectively treated with antibiotics if detected early,” said Little in a statement. “However, as was discussed by many hearing witnesses, the test used to detect Lyme disease is simply not reliable.

“Too often patients are led to believe that they are in the clear after receiving a ‘negative’ serology test for Lyme disease, which ultimately delays critical treatment resulting in worsening — sometimes irreversible — symptoms.”

More robust metrics are also necessary to get a clearer

picture of the scope of the disease.

New York reported 3,252 confirmed cases of Lyme disease to the CDC in 2015. But the federal agency estimates that the actual number of diagnosed cases is as many as 10 times higher.

Patients testified at the hearings that “rampant inaccuracies” plague the test currently used to detect tick-borne diseases, with some suffering with symptoms for years before an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

“There are undoubtedly many more cases, particularly of Lyme disease, that are treated by community physicians and are not reported, or do not meet the case definition,” testified New York State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker at the hearings.

The lack of a proper diagnosis can limit the resources available for treatment.

“The numbers are very very misleading and extremely inaccurate,” Fisk said. “We’re concerned the number of cases are so spectacularly underreported, is why disease doesn’t get attention it should.”

But, Fisk said, the proposed state legislation looks promising.

“We worked very hard to get that bill through,” she said.

“We’re optimistic and appreciative.”

Little said it’s important to note authorities must craft a more effective public health approach for additional tick-borne illnesses, including the Powassan virus, the emergence of which in New York has “brought the sense of urgency to a new level.”

In Essex County, Allott noted an uptick in anaplasmosis from just two cases in 2016 to nine cases so far this year.

The report also recommended boosting funding in the state budget, creating an action plan and taking a more aggressive approach to pursuing research funding.

Kanoza said he was heartened the bill will promote testing in children who present with disease-related symptoms.

Swift treatment will allow them to avoid the long-term consequences of misdiagnosis.

“Once you get Lyme disease, if not treated quickly and effectively, the effects can hang with you for the rest of your life,” Kanoza said. “It’s only going to get worse in New York State.” ■ PICTURED ON COVER: The number of tick-borne diseases are increasing in the United States, with 90 percent of confirmed Lyme disease cases being reported from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

State agencies oppose rail car plan

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

MINERVA | Adirondack Park Agency (APA) and state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) have now issued full-throated objections to a plan to store rail

cars in the Adirondacks.

“The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Adirondack Park Agency are opposed to the storage of rail cars on these tracks inside the Adirondack Park,” said Keith McKeever, an APA spokesman. “We are seriously concerned about potential environmental impacts and are evaluating all legal and regulatory options at our disposal to ensure the environment and the public are protected.”

» Boreas Cont. from pg. 1 Nearly a year after the conclusion of the public hearing process designed to collect input on how the 20,758-acre tract in Newcomb and North Hudson should be classified, a decision remains elusive.

A broad coalition of groups have entered the fray, all of whom agree opening a new portal to the southern High Peaks has the potential to be transformative.

But they disagree on how much recreational access should be allowed, sparring primarily over motorized usage.

The APA has offered four proposals, each containing a varying ratio of Wilderness, the most restrictive category, and Wild Forest, the least restrictive.

AWA has endorsed none of them, and is calling for the entire tract to be classified as Wilderness, and the entire seven-mile length of Gulf Brook Road closed.

Socash, 31, is still mapping out his route for the trek.

The out-of-service cars will be stored indefinitely on the Sanford Lake Railway in Minerva by Iowa Pacific Holdings.

Opposition continues to mount from a coalition of green groups, localities and state agencies who argue the storage is a blight on the Adirondacks, creating “junkyards” in the one of the world’s foremost ecological habitats.

Iowa Pacific has said up to 2,000 cars could ultimately be stored on the tracks as a way to shore up revenue for their ailing operation.

Early plans see the outdoor educator starting at Blue Ridge Road and walking the length of Gulf Brook Road to gain access to the tract. He’ll pass through Ragged Mountain, Andrews Brook, LaBier Flow, Boreas Pond and White Lily Pond before exiting, where the Northville Placid-Trail will take him to Averyville Road towards Ray Brook.

Altogether, it’s a 40 mile journey.

Socash, of Keene, has ample experience: He recently completed the Te Araroa Trail in New Zealand, and the Appalachian Trail, efforts that also fueled his strong belief that open space is a rare commodity that is becoming increasingly rare on a global level.

“Traveling elsewhere, you realize how important what we have in the Blue Line is,” he said. “Boreas Ponds can be a crown jewel that gets protected right here in New York state.”

But upon reaching Ray Brook, Socash will not be met with APA board members deep in Boreas-related discussion: The classification issue is not on the agenda at the monthly

Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month denounced the Chicago-based firm’s plans.

“It is unsightly, it is out of character with the Adirondacks,” Cuomo said in Glens Falls. “Nobody goes to the Adirondacks to look at old trains, they go there to look at the natural beauty.”

The governor acknowledged Saratoga & North Creek Railway (SNCR), a subsidiary of Iowa Pacific, owns the tracks. » Rail Plan Cont. on pg. 17

meeting, said an APA spokesman.

AWA remains undeterred and wants to keep the issue in the public eye.

“We know that the Boreas classification will come to the APA Board before long,” said AWA Co-Founder Pete Nelson. “We want the board to remember that broad support for Wilderness remains rock solid even though the issue has been out of the public eye for several months. No one has forgotten the oncein-a-lifetime opportunity a full Boreas Wilderness represents.”

Other coalitions, including Access the Adirondacks, have also engaged in letter-writing campaigns to promote their preferred plans for the tract. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Pure evil

It’s hard to understand why anyone would take another person’s life.

It is Sunday night

By Dan Alexander and I sit here learn• PUBLISHER • ing of a vicious church shooting earlier today in Texas with the killing total still on the rise as I write this column.

We can make some semblance of rationalizing certain killings, even as horrific as the recent terror killings in New York City.

We can’t fully understand what’s in the mind of a jihadist like the one who recently rented the small truck and killed eight innocent individuals.

But sadly, we’ve come to regrettably accept terrorism with the understanding that these misguided individuals believe they are combatants in a self-proclaimed holy war.

As such, we can recognize certain behavior and provide some forms of defense and be on guard in certain situations where we sense a terrorist might choose to strike.

Still very unpredictable, but at the very least, we are no longer taken completely by surprise when such event occurs.

But to try and understand what causes a 26-year-old American-born citizen to calmly walk into a Sutherland Springs, Texas First Baptist Church and open fire, killing 26 and injuring scores more while they worship the Lord in His house is simply beyond all comprehension.

We have no defenses or ability to be on guard for this type of behavior.

We now have armed guards, locked, armored doors and metal detectors at many schools and office buildings.

Should we now expect to see armed ushers at weekly church service?

How do we explain or come to grips with this form of anger and desire to commit these heinous acts?

The only explanation is the existence of pure evil at work.

Much like the recent concert shooting in Las Vegas, we cannot avoid living and enjoying life. We will continue to gather for church services, events, school, celebrations and even simple tasks such as shopping and work.

We cannot shrink in the face of evil, but instead defy its will to control our actions.

We have so many good deeds taking place all around us every day. We must remember to embrace life in our free society while reaching out to all those who may be troubled in the hopes of helping them to reject the acts of evil that obviously compel them to take actions such as this. ■

From the Editorial Board

Region faces tough choices as population ages By now, Election Day is in the rear view.

As reporters, we always try to read the tea leaves of the local political scene, looking at trends and patterns.

Over the years, we’ve often opined that it’s lamentable so many local races go uncontested.

This year was no exception, with scores of candidates across the region running unopposed, from judges to town supervisors.

People should have a choice even if the office is decidedly unglamorous — especially when so many stories come trickling back to us about rogue assessors, tricky supervisors and apathetic councilmen, among other intrigue swirling around your typical small town government.

Obviously the dynamics in each community are different, and we shouldn’t reach to stitch together strands of causation when there aren’t any.

But one indisputable trend is the age of politicians here.

Office-seekers in the North Country tend to be older than the rest of us.

The first reason is demographics.

The average age of Adirondack Park residents is just under 43 years old.

That’s almost six years older than the state average.

So it’s no surprise that our political representatives, well, represent that.

According to the 2014 Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Project report, the number of Adirondack Park residents younger than age 30 is projected to decline by an average of 14 percent each decade.

By 2030, more than one-third of us will be over the age of 60, making the Adirondacks one of the oldest places anywhere in the nation.

North Creek sewer presentation very informative To the Editor: I recently attended a public presentation on the proposed sewer for the North Creek business district given prior to the Town of Johnsburg Board Meeting.

It was very informative. It included adding other districts later on — also financing the project with grants, matching funds, loans, et cetera.

The goal would be to change a $500 yearly fee to users of the sewer. You do not have to look it up if you don’t want to.

At the board meeting, Mr. Arsenault reported he has drawn up a tentative budget that came

This will have widespread ramifications on the survival of our communities.

Actually, it already has.

We’ve already seen it as schools struggle to keep enrollment up; as churches labor to attract more than a handful to their weekend services, and as emergency service agencies fight to keep their organizations staffed with able-bodied volunteers.

How to instantly boost civic participation does not have an easy answer.

But it’s never too late to start thinking big.

We believe the fi rst way to broaden civic engagement is to pay a living wage for office-seekers.

Many of our elected officials are on their second or even third careers.

For them, they’re not holding office for the paycheck, but rather to give back to their communities.

It’s admirable they do so, and by all means, someone has got to do it.

But until localities can start paying a living wage, young people aren’t exactly going to be flocking to these positions, most of which pay poverty-level wages.

Legislators in Clinton County earned $17,500 in 2016, for instance.

It’s time we start thinking about how to boost these numbers.

There’s obviously nothing wrong with older folks leading our communities. As the saying goes, “Youth is wasted on the young.”

But young folks may offer a different outlook and perspective, particularly considering revitalizing our downtowns is one of the most pressing issues facing each of our communities.

A long-term goal for boosting pay should

go hand-in-hand with how we view government as a whole.

Alternatively, as our population ages and contracts, we can start tackling some existential questions and take the opposite approach.

We were intrigued when we learned of the so-called Unorganized Territory in Maine, a huge swatch of stretch of land skirting around the state’s southeast population cluster.

“As operating costs have increased, the economy has stagnated and the population has aged and dwindled, a handful of struggling towns have pursued the unusual process of eliminating local government entirely,” The New York Times reported in 2016.

Once towns opt to “deorganize,” then the county absorbs those services.

Local officials’ salaries vanish, as does the cost of maintaining infrastructure.

Operational costs are then spread across the Unorganized Territory either in each county or statewide.

It’s an interesting concept — and one that makes sense, especially when you analyze some of the early budget numbers coming out of our small communities: Revenues are down, expenses are up, including health care, which continues to see premiums skyrocket.

Now we’re not saying we should make like the Pine Tree State and, er, deorganize ourselves — especially when so many of our small towns exist around themselves.

But for the rest of us who are struggling to make ends meet, it’s an attractive option — and one that should be weighed if we’re not willing to pay our rising stars a living wage. ■ -Sun Community News Editorial Board

Republican “tax reform” is a tax cut for big business

To the Editor: Congress has done it once more, and the present administration has joined in!

Tax reform is the name of the new way to get the top one percent and big business and windfall. They also want to abolish the “death tax” which will benefit the wealthy! Speaker Paul Ryan tells us most Americans will only have a “post card” to fill out to file their taxes.

I have to ask: What is wrong with the 1040A tax form?

This is what the majority of Americans already use and a fifth grader could fill it out!

Ryan tells us most households making $59,000 a year, with four people, will see $1,182 returned.

The key word here is “most.”

Some small businesses will benefit but others will not.

One thing is clear and it’s that big business will see two trillion dollars in tax cuts. This is at a time when we are already 23 trillion in debt.

Our president told us he would cut our debt, not add to it. They also want to take out the deductions for medical expense, interest, state and local taxes as well as the miscellaneous that would cover those who had no insurance and lost their homes.

Yes, folks, the Republicans have once more proved they are the party of “big business!”

What about those in nursing homes and those with thousands of dollars of out of pocket expenses for drugs and hundreds of thousands on dialysis with high out of pocket expenses?

BRIEFS

Those with new homes paying thousands in interest payments will lose the deduction under the bill set forth by Congress and the administration.

This a present from Ryan and our president as he stated, “this will be a Christmas present to the American people.”

Hopefully they won’t give us and anymore presents! ■ Gary Philip Guido, Ticonderoga

GOP tax bill will benefit the wealthy

To the Editor: The House tax bill will provide huge benefits for the wealthy and for corporations, while any benefits to middle-class taxpayers are questionable.

Numerous provisions will benefit high earners. The top tax rate does stay at the current 39.6 percent, but taxes on the wealthy will still be substantially cut.

The estate tax, kicking in at $5.9 million, will be phased out over five years. The alternative minimum tax, created to ensure that the wealthiest pay at least some taxes, will end immediately.

Real-estate developers, hedge-fund and private-equity managers will continue to benefit from carried-interest and pass-through rules under which their tax rates are below the income-tax rates they would otherwise pay.

As a candidate, the president pledged to end to the carried-interest loophole.

Business taxes will fall from 35 to 20 percent.

Based on past history, the benefits are more likely to go to stockholders rather than to workers.

In contrast, any benefits to middle-class households are much less clearcut.

The standard deduction will double, but the lowest tax bracket goes up from 10 to 12 percent. The tax credit for seniors will disappear. State and local income tax deductions will be gone, while the property tax deduction will be capped at $10,000.

These provisions will hurt many taxpayers in high-tax states such as New York.

Mortgage interest-rate deductions will be capped. Deductions for medical expenses will be eliminated. Interest on student loans will no longer be deductible.

With all these deductions gone, many middle-class households may actually see their taxes increased.

If Republicans really want to help the middle class, they could simply pass targeted tax cuts for moderate incomes, rather than rather than expecting us to settle for some future, vague trickle-down effect. ■ Claire Gilmore, Tupper Lake

My office is within eyesight and earshot of the intersection of Route 9 and River Street/Water Street — the ElizabethBy Arin Burdo town “Town Hill.”

• COLUMNIST • Every single day, no exaggeration, I see and hear near-accidents. Horns honking, tires squealing, drivers locking up their brakes to avoid collisions — every day.

On Oct. 13, a local 14 year old boy was very lucky to walk away from this intersection. He collided with a vehicle while riding his bike from school to the social center. He was wearing a helmet and ended up with a bloody nose, swollen lip, scratches and bruises. It could have been much worse.

The collision was due to an unfortunate chain of events.

A truck was parked facing down the town hill to unload at the convenience store. It wasn’t illegal; there are not “No Parking” signs. But it caused a significant problem with the line of vision at the light, especially for cars coming off River Street. Line of vision at that spot is bad on a good day.

A car coming from River Street turning up the town hill could not see past this truck, so the driver had to inch out into the intersection. The boy biking couldn’t see the car until he was past the unloading truck.

He collided with the car and went tumbling through the intersection.

None of these people were doing anything illegal or wrong. It was a sequence of reactions which could happen any given day.

On any normal day, this intersection presents close calls. These problems often seem to stem from drivers coming from the Westport interstate exit thinking it’s a four-way stop. It’s a confusing place for those from out of town. Even for locals it’s especially crazy around 8 a.m. and 3-4 p.m., right when kids are most likely to cross.

This intersection should be made safer. Maybe better signage would help. Maybe a regular signal light. I don’t know. But it should be studied.

It has been called to the attention of the DOT for years and it’s always been shrugged off. This time, a child walked away. If this accident does not provoke a new examination, what will it take?

The Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad, the Essex County Sheriff’s Department and New York State Police responded very swiftly and thoroughly that day. It was encouraging to see how capable they were of addressing this accident and I appreciated their response. It ended up a relief that it was not more serious.

I see kids cross that intersection daily. I witness vehicles of all sizes do unsafe things. Next time the story might not end as well. Let’s not wait that long.

Please be very careful at that intersection, especially around 3-4 p.m. on school days. If you agree that it could be made safer, this boy’s mom recently started a petition. You can find a copy at the social center and a link on our Facebook page.

Contact the social center at info@ elizabethtownsocialcenter.org or 518-873-6408. ■

Our featured pet this week is Holmes, the cutest, scruffiest Airedale Terrier-mix you have ever seen.

He came in as a stray and we think he’s young — under 2 years old — with plenty of energy and love to give to the right family. He is very wary of strangers, especially males, but once he is familiar with you, he is a silly playful boy.

Shelter staff have been working with him to improve his socialization and comfort level around new people, and he is making terrific strides.

Did I mention just how cute this scruffy, fluffy boy is? He bears a strong resemblance to Benji of television fame — he has the ability to absolutely melt your heart with just one look and a wag of his bushy tail. Just come down and see for yourself. ■

activist group ADK Action, Brittany Christenson, will talk about the use of road salt in the Adirondacks and other initiatives in a presentation titled “Saying Yes to Important Projects in the Adirondacks.”

The presentation is part of the Library Lunch series and will take place at noon in the Cantwell Room of the Saranac Lake Free Library. ■

NYSARC changes name to The Arc New York

ALBANY | The state’s largest nonprofit organization supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, NYSARC, has changed its name to The Arc New York. Mountain Lake Services, Essex County’s largest employer, is a chapter of The Arc New York. ■

Collaboration on Jay pavilion upgrade

JAY | Residents and visitors alike to Jay’s Douglas Park may notice that the Jay Picnic Pavilion has gotten an updated look. The Rotary Club of the AuSable Valley, led by Mitch Dickerson, recently re-roofed the pavilion. The erection of the original structure was completed over 20 years ago. Jay Ward of Ward Lumber Company donated the shingles. Robbie Lincoln, Town of Jay supervisor, provided scaffolding and a truck for removal of the debris. ■

CORRECTION

In the article “Jay to choose tax collector” (Nov. 4), Lori Ducharme was quoted as saying, “I have been employed since 16 with no gap in unemployment.” The quote should have read, “I have been employed since 16 with no gap in employment.” ■

“I do not believe we used fund balance

last year out of the general budget and we have been able to use $75,000 in highway fund balance for the last three years.”

SPECIAL DISTRICTS:

Light District, Refuse - Garage, Sidewalk, Water District #2, Water District #3.

The public hearing on the 2018 budget has been set for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 21, at the town offices. ■

Keene budget sits within 1.02 percent tax levy cap increase Keene budget breakdown

Personnel changes addressed in final weeks of 2018 budget planning

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

KEENE | Town councilors and Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson Jr. are working on final changes to the 2018 budget. With the final public workshop on Nov. 9 at 6 p.m., the spending plan sits a few thousand dollars below the allowable tax-levy cap set this year by the state formula at 1.02 percent, according to Wilson.

The tentative tax levy last week was $1,727,056.63 with a total budget of $2,661,409.76, Wilson said.

Essex budget breakdown 2017 - ; 2018 - $; Difference - $ Tax rate per $1,000 in assessed value: This amounts to a $ increase on a $100,000 home.

Over/under tax cap? under Total appropriations:

2017 - $1,154,232; 2018 - 1,199,945; difference - $45,713 (3.96%)

Total tax levy:

2017 - $676,732; 2018 - $701,503; Difference - $24,771 (3.66%)

Total fund balance usage:

2017 - $30,869; 2018 - $57,183; Difference - $26,314 (85.24%)

Public hearing:

Thursday, Nov. 9, at the Essex Town Hall at 6 p.m.

Revenues:

2017 - $446,631; 2018 - 441,259; difference - down $5,372 (-1.20%)

“But we have some last minute personnel changes to address, so that may change somewhat,” he said.

The tax rate per $1,000 in assessed value is not yet calculated.

But the 2018 budget does include a 3 percent pay increase for town employees.

Supervisor’s salary is proposed at $30,000; the superintendent of highways is proposed at $52,000; four members of the Town Council would earn $4,860.50 each; town justices would be paid $10,798 each and the town clerk/tax collector would be paid $25,027 next year.

“We are planning to lease a new highway truck and we did that without raising the highway budget,” Wilson said of the one big-ticket item planned for purchase next year.

“For Water District No. 2, though, we’ve got a very big expense in drilling a new well and refitting the pumping station,” he said.

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

Over/under tax cap? Under Total appropriations: $2,714,798 Total tax levy: $1,727,056.63 (tentative) Total fund balance usage: $200,000 Public hearing:

Nov. 14 at 6:45 p.m. at the Town Hall.

This project is not included in the budget for next year, because estimates are not complete.

“We are going to have to do a Bond Anticipation Note on this and look for grant funding,” Wilson said of the upcoming water project.

Keene has set its public hearing on the budget for Nov. 14 at 6:45 p.m. at the Town Hall. ■

Essex budget meets cap General budget down, highway up

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ESSEX | The town of Essex will

see a decrease in spending in the 2018 general budget, but will see an increase in the highway spending plan.

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

“I believe we are going to make the tax cap, we are still working on our budget,” Depot advised last week.

The tentative general budget is $2,696,004.03, leaving the projected tax rate unchanged from last year. The current tax rate is $2.48 per $1,000 of real property value.

A $100,000 home then would receive a general tax bill of $248.

Pay increases for Town of Jay employees is included for 2018 at 2 percent, Depo said.

“We have no large purchases planned for next year. We do have a water grant award for $1.9 million for the Au Sable Forks Water District. That project will begin in 2018 to put in a new water-control building and new wells.”

We have a 10-year program as far as vehicles are concerned, and this year we aren’t buying anything.”

Westport purchases vehicles with cash up front, he said.

The town is looking to finish up the town hall project and begins moving back into the renovated space this week.

The tentative tax rates for 2018 are $3.30 per $1,000 of real property value for residents outside the water district. Add 9 cents for a total $3.39 per thousand for residents in the water district.

The current tax rate is $3.23 for residents outside the water district and $3.32 for town water users.

“This represents an overall increase of 7 cents per thousand of assessed value. This means a $7 increase in tax for a $100,000 dollar home,” Monty said.

“We used $85,000 from the fund balance for the general budget, down from $90,00 in 2017,” Monty said.

“We used $75,00 from the fund balance for highway, the same as 2017.”

“The board worked very hard, and I think it’s a good, honest budget,” Monty said.

“We’re still building our equipment fund, which has been needed for many years. We purchased a new truck last year and developed a 12-year plan so that every four years we could purchase a new truck. With this plan, we can put 50 to 60 percent of cost up front for the next purchase so the payments are lower.”

Construction of a new salt shed is covered with a $115,000 grant award.

“So that will be done in the spring,” Monty said.

The public hearing for the 2018 budget will be held on Nov. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lewis Town Hall.

The final budget is expected to be adopted on Nov. 14. ■

Blue Bombers are Final Four bound!

1-0 win over Maple Hill sends LPCS to MIddletown

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

COLONIE | After dropping their final game of the regular season to a one-win Elizabethtown/Lewis-Westport squad, no one was thinking Final Four in Lake Placid.

“This is a total surprise and a gift,” coach Stuart Hemsley said as Lake Placid punched their first ticket to the Class C Final Four with a 1-0 win over Maple Hill on Nov. 4 in Colonie. “We got healthy and really focused coming into post season play and I could not ask for anything more out of them. We are going to put everything on the table and play for our lives.”

Tyler Hinkley scored the lone goal against Maple Hill on an assist from Matthew Brandes, while Jacob Novick added three saves in the shutout win.

Since a 5-2 win over AuSable Valley, the Bombers have only allowed one goal in their 1-1 shootout win against Northern Adirondack.

Joaquin Benevides controls the ball for Lake Placid against St. Lawrence in the regional semifinals.

Matthew Brandes “That goal came off two great saves by Jacob that went to their feet instead of ours,” Hemsley said. “We have been playing disciplined soccer and not giving up a lot of goals while finding our chances on the other end.”

Lake Placid, the fourth ranked team in the most recent New York State Sportswriter’s poll, will take on top ranked Byron-Bergen/Eden in the semifinal round, with kickoff set for 1:30 p.m. on the Middletown High School turf field.

“The field down there is huge, so when we have the ball we need to widen the field and when they have the ball we need to make it small and get the ball back,” Hemsley said.

The Class C championship game will be held on the Middletown High grass field Sunday, Nov. 12, at 10:30 a.m. ■

Red Storm claim first volleyball title Saranac Lake defeats Saranac in volleyball

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

BEEKMANTOWN | The Saranac Lake Red Storm scored a 25-19 win in the fifth game to win the Class C championship Nov. 4 over top seed Saranac.

“Saranac is a great team,” coach Mike Navarra said. “It was intense the entire game.

I knew that they were going to be tough and we had to come together and stayed positive.

Skill-wise we can play with anybody, but mentally, we had to be there for the whole game, and today, that’s what we did.”

Sydney Andronica serves for Saranac Lake.

“We just made freakin’ history,” said Nora Glover, who had six kills in the win. “Our school has never won a championship and we just did that. I am super proud of this team and that’s basically it.”

“It was amazing,” added Kaity Burdt. “We kept fighting through and didn’t fall apart. It was amazing. We worked so hard and so well.”

Sydney Andronica had 23 digs for the Red Storm, while Kayla Gay had seven aces in the win.

Elizabeth Trudeau had 36 assists for the Chiefs in a five-game match, while Maddie Hoeth had four aces and four kills.

The Red Storm will next play Saturday, Nov. 11, 2:30 p.m. in the Class C regional round at Saranac High School. ■ — Jill Lobdell contributed to this report.

Anderson Gray, SLCS win at sectionals State teams set in Section VII meet

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Saranac Lake’s Anderson Gray and Seton Catholic’s Sofia DeJordy topped the podium at the Section VII cross country championships Nov. 3 at the Cobble Hill Golf Course.

“It’s one of those things — I don’t really know what happened,” said Gray, who ended the reign of Seton Catholic’s Caleb Moore atop the Section VII standings. “I felt good and I pounded that last bit. I’m good with downhills. I came here with a mindset that last year was one of the worse races of my life, so I was coming back with a mindset that I had to make up for last year and it was just insane.”

“It was a great race,” DeJordy said. “It was great to get out early and have Lea, my sister, running with me.”

Lea DeJordy fi nished second in the girl’s race, while sister Savannah was ninth, helping the Knights with the girl’s Class D title.

Lake Placid scored a win in the boy’s Class D event, as the defending state runner-up and champion from two years ago heads into another state meet strong.

“The goal is to always peak at sectionals and again in the states and they are doing just that,” said coach Mel Frazer.

“They charged the hills and stay fast near the top of the pack.”

Frazer also commended Saranac Lake, who won the Class C title, as a strong team.

“It has been some good, healthy competition between the two teams which gets them each running fast,” she said.

Gray said they have a similar goal to Lake Placid’s when it comes to states.

“We want to go there and win,” he said.

For Schroon Lake, Ben Wisser made it three years in a row for a state qualifier for the small team, giving them a state competitor every year.

“This is my third year running and you pick up the strategies and mine was to stick around the lead pack because that motivates you to run harder and stay with them,” Wisser said.

Obituaries Clifford A. Lewis, Sr.

ELIZABETHTOWN | Heaven gained the brightest star and most loyal angel when Clifford A. Lewis Sr. passed away Oct. 27, 2017. He was born on June 27, 1944 in Castleton, Vermont.

Clifford, better known to most as Buddy or Mr. Lewis, loved nothing more than his family.

He was the rock that held everyone together. He was a very proud army veteran who served from 1961-1967 including a tour in Vietnam.

He loved to hunt with his son, daughter, wife and friends.

He was focused on safety and at one point was a hunter safety instructor. You could almost always find him in the woods or on the lake fishing, he gained the nickname “Backwoods Buddy.”

He worked on D&H Railroad for 10 years before spending many years as a long-haul truck driver and always said, “I’ve driven more miles backwards than most have forward.”

From the time his children were young until long after they were grown, you could always find a group of teens at his house calling him dad and gaining his knowledge and » Rail Plan Cont. from pg. 5 But questions remain, he said, as to the state’s legal rights to oppose the plan.

“We are going to do everything we can do to stop the owner from storing the trains on those tracks,” Cuomo said.

Iowa Pacific has said the placement of the cars into storage will be done in full compliance with the provisions of the license and operating agreement between the railway, the

advice, he was so well respected by everyone who knew him. He spread his knowledge of hunting, fishing and life in general to so many. He always instilled in all children four main rules for life, 1. Do not lie 2. Do not steal 3. Do not do drugs and 4. Never ever “piss into the wind.” He was always preaching the importance of education.

He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Patricia Lewis, to whom he gave his greatest years to and always said he loved her “4-3-4-evers” because one was not long enough for all the love he had for her, his three children; Clifford Lewis Jr. and wife Kate, Christine Pritchard and husband Bubba, Cindy and husband Donald; eleven grandchildren, Chelsey, Clifford III, Rachel, Danika, Rebecca, Sarah, Jason, Reed, Caleb, Austin and Logan, three siblings, Joan Wilson, William Lewis and Darrell Lewis; his brother in law George Millard and fiancé Sharon; his greatest friends of nearly 50 years, Gene Wager and Tom Johnson, along with many nieces, nephews and cousins.

In honor of his wishes there will be no calling hours or services. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in his name to the Wounded Warriors Association.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Heald Funeral Home, 7521 Court Street, Elizabethtown.

town and the county, and that states don’t have jurisdiction over railroad operations.

The APA asked the railway to submit a jurisdictional inquiry in September, but they have not yet done so, McKeever said.

The DEC told The Sun in September they would “closely evaluate any proposal for the storage of railcars, but has not received any such proposal.”

Asked on Nov. 1 if Iowa Pacific had yet

‘EVERY SINGLE DAY’

As he coasted down the hill, a beverage truck parked facing down the Town Hill to unload at the convenience store.

While not illegal, the vehicle obscured the line of vision of cars waiting at the light, explained Arin Burdo, executive director of the Elizabethtown Social Center.

A car on River Street creeped into the intersection.

But the truck blocked the boy’s view.

And then it was too late.

He collided with the car and went tumbling through the intersection.

“It’s amazing another car didn’t hit him,” Burdo said.

The victim was fine — he even retrieved the decorative license plate holder he popped off the car — but was shaken.

Burdo was shocked, but not surprised.

“My office is within eyesight and earshot of this intersection,” she wrote on social media. “Every single day, no exaggeration, I see and hear near-accidents. Horns honking.

Tires squealing. Every day.”

As Burdo spoke with a reporter at the intersection on a recent weekday morning, cars and heavy trucks sped through the yellow light without slowing.

Albert “Uncle” J. Gates

MORIAH | Albert “Uncle” J. Gates, 91, died Sunday, Oct. 29, 2017 at CVPH Medical Center.

He was born Oct. 20, 1926 in Westport, the son of Elon and Mary Gates.

After retiring from International Paper, he spent his retirement traveling around the North Country as a photographer taking pictures of his beloved Adirondacks. Many of his pictures appeared in Adirondack Life magazine and the Adirondack Life calendar. He could be seen skating on the lake or riding his bicycle.

Albert is survived by a nephew, David Plumadore and wife Sue of Elizabethtown, and his niece Gayle Forget and husband Nelson of Apopka, Florida.

He also leaves behind 10 great-nieces and nephews; Jim, Patty, Bill, Tracey, David, Stacey, Fawn, Tanya, Tommy and Billy; and five great-great-nieces and nephews, Dustin, Megan, Brandin, Tyler and Abbey.

He was predeceased by his wife Barbara, his parents, sisters, several nieces and a nephew.

In lieu of flowers Albert would like Mass cards in his name.

Burial was in Union Cemetery in Port Henry on Friday, Nov. 3. ■

submitted a proposal, a DEC spokesperson referred to their previous statement and declined to elaborate.

David Michaud, an attorney for Iowa Pacific, did not directly respond to an email asking about the proposal. But SNCR President Ed Ellis said that the railway objects to the characterization of the cars as “junk,” and all cars have been cleaned prior to their relocation.

“Putting out wrong and misleading in-

» Intersection Cont. from pg. 1 It rests in a valley that sees cars accelerating up and down the hills on either side.

Exit 31 of the Adirondack Northway is about five miles to the east, making the intersection a thoroughfare for passerby largely unfamiliar with the terrain.

Conditions have been exacerbated in recent years as GPS units have begun to route vehicles through the intersection on the way to Lake Placid.

Sometimes confused motorists stop at the blinking yellow light. Or they blow through it entirely.

And that’s just for starters.

A gas station at the southwest corner has poor ingress and egress.

Elizabethtown is the county seat and sees hundreds of municipal workers streaming into the community to work at a half-dozen government locations, a timeline that coincides with the beginning of the school day at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, located about a third of a mile up Court Street, the town’s main drag.

The Elizabethtown Social Center is located just north of the intersection, and is a popular magnet for local students after school.

On-street parking obscures visibility — and so does the tight corner heading up what locals refer to as “Town Hall” from the westbound lane of Court Street.

As such, motorists in the east-westbound lanes continually inch over the crosswalk.

Signage is scant, with no indication warning motorists that the intersection is not a four-way stop.

All of these factors aligned on the afternoon of Oct. 13.

The Valley News Sun | November 11, 2017 • 17

formation is apparently the plan of the folks who want to rip up the only track in this part of the Adirondacks to have one more unmaintainable trail,” Ellis said in a lengthy statement. “For example, the ‘junkyard’ cars have 20-30 years of useful life left, and the owner spent over $3,500 per car getting them properly cleaned and certified. Not junk.”

March when a reporter last inquired about the intersection.

The DOT added an additional stop sign on River Street in April 2012 to reinforce the existing stop sign and flashing signal.

“While we have received no recent request from the town, we will continue to monitor that intersection to see if any changes are necessary,” said Bryan Viggiani, the spokesman.

Viggiani said the DOT is aware of the collision.

“We would conduct a study of the intersection after receiving a formal request to do so,” he told The Sun on Nov. 3. ■

Chantell Rowe is petitioning the state Department of Transportation to address what residents have long viewed as a dangerous intersection in Elizabethtown. Photo by Pete DeMola Several motorists coming from River Street failed to negotiate a full and complete stop at the intersection — others coasted through entirely — while almost none stopped ahead of the crosswalk.

“I’m concerned with the safety of the kids who come here from school,” Burdo said, noting two blind students. “It makes me really, really nervous. This could have been really, really awful.”

‘SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE’

Just up Town Hall, Rowe chatted with patrons at Stewart’s and asked them to support her petition.

“The vast majority of people agree something needs to be done about that intersection,” she said, flipping through sheets of signatures.

The best solution, she said, would be a three-way stop.

But both Rowe and Burdo readily admit the characteristics of the intersection may preclude that from being happening, largely because of winter conditions on Town Hill.

“If nothing else, I just want (the state DOT) to raise awareness of it,” Rowe said. “Maybe get them to develop a less confusing and more functional intersection.”

By the time this story went to press on Tuesday morning, the online petition contained 87 signatures.

Rowe hopes to obtain 1,000 before filing the document.

The state DOT reviewed the intersection in 2012 at the request of the Town of Elizabethtown, a spokesman told The Sun in
