WESTPORT | As the state hurdles towards the finish line for their ambitious project to wire the state with high speed broadband, local providers are making progress in connecting northern New York. The most recent round of state grants was announced in February, part of a $31.5 million package. Chazy and Westport Telecom received $2,821,185 in state funds to bolster fiber in their existing service area, including Altona, Chazy, Beekmantown and Champlain in Clinton County and Westport, Essex, Lewis and Elizabethtown in Essex County. The telecommunications firm plans to run 117 miles of cable, and has competed 45 so far as part of the two-year project. As many as 530 homes and businesses will receive the updated service. “The majority of work is in the Westport, Essex

and Lewis portions of the franchise,” said Vice President Joe Forcier. Recently completed areas include the Meadowbrook and Brookfield areas, as well as Stevenson Road, Ledge Hill Road, Twin Valley, Albans Road and Sayre Road. The technology will provide one fiber line per customer as opposed to one per 32 customers, Forcier said. “We finally got rid of the Party Line,” he joked, referring to the old social telephone service that saw numerous people connected to the same line. The company is planning to apply for additional grants so they can cover more of their existing serving area. Cable Communications of Willsboro received $226,184 for homes in Willsboro and Essex. The firm recently received pole licenses from NYSEG and Verizon. “We’ve received them, and are planning on starting construction the first part of the year,” said Cable Communications Owner Herb Longware. “The broadband money is for new service — greenfield areas, which are areas that haven’t been served yet.” Scheduled fiber-to-home expansions include neighborhoods off Middle Road and along Lake Shore Road in Essex, as well as School Street and Block House Road. “We’re really pleased this broadband program is available,” he said. “It’s going to directly improve access for people in the North Country.” » Broadband Cont. on pg. 4

My character is kind of violent which I’ve never done with that and to get do another side of life.” “I’m really excited,” said Hannah Schwoebel. “It is a really good bonding experience that we get to share together. My character is really dark and intense. It is really nice to do something that I’m not used to doing or being. It’s nice to do something I’ve never done before.” “I’ve done a lot of productions, but I’ve never done anything with just our class,” said Malynda Lobdell. “Most of us have been together since kindergarten. You think you know everything about them, but you come to senior play practice and there’s a whole new level as a class and you become a family. It’s so much fun. It’s so much fun falling off stage and stabbing each other with sticks.” While several members of the class have been involved in Drama Club productions and with groups like BRTF, some are stepping into a new role. “This is my first show that I’ve acted in,” said Ellie Storey. “It’s a new experience. It’s been fun working with our class. I’m doing six different characters who have different roles.”

WESTPORT | Vampires and demons have invaded Westport Central School, and it is up to one girl to keep the student body safe. Buffy. “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and adaptation of the 1990’s movie which also turned into a television series, will be performed by the senior class at Westport Central School Nov. 17-18 at 7 p.m. in the Bulles Auditorium. Admission is $7 for adults and $5 for families. Under the direction of Scott Gibbs and Cheryl Phillips, students have been preparing for weeks to bring the show to life, including the title role played by Taylor Gough. “She’s popular and a ditz but hasn’t put her knowledge toward anything,” Gough said about the character. “Once she learns her strength, she becomes more independent and stands up to her popular and airheaded friends. She shows a lot of growth. It’s different doing the senior play. It’s defiantly more stressful because we are more in a time crunch than the spring play. It’s fun to see how we grow together as

The Westport Central School Class of 2018 will present “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Nov. 17-18 in the Bulles Auditorium. Photo by Jill Lbdell “I’m having a lot of fun working with Mr. Gibbs and Mrs. Phillips and getting to know the class more,” said Craig Cumber. “It’s fun getting to know them. This is my first production.” “This is my first time and I get to play a boy with swagger and confidence,” said Teerakan Fanbsuwannarak. “I think it is a first time to play with our class and makes us more close. It’s really fun and I like it.” ‘My character is your stereotypical jock.

It has all the head bumps, chest bumps and in love with sports,” said Kyle Conley “It’s been pretty fun so far. This is my first play. We’ve been growing with each other for 13 years. There’s a lot of chemistry. It’s seems like a lot better than doing something with a group you don’t really know.” For more information, call the school at 518-962-8244. ■ -Jill Lobdell contributed to this report.

Leaf brings his message to Plattsburgh

Former NFL player speaks on addiction, recovery By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | It was not the time he spent as a high school standout, a front-runner for the 1998 Heisman Trophy, or even the poor performance in the NFL that landed Ryan Leaf in a prison cell for 32 months. “I wasn’t taking drugs when I was in the NFL, that was just me doing a poor job both on the field and off,” the former second overall pick said during his visit to Plattsburgh Nov. 1. “I never drank in high school. I didn’t use in college. But, I was a drug addict long before I ever took my first pill.” Leaf came to the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse to share his story of addiction and recovery as part of a program spearheaded by Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie, who saw the recent 30-for-30 film made about his career and life after football. “As soon as the documentary was over, I was online trying to find out how to get him here,” Wylie said. “His story is an important one and it shows there are alternative ways to combat the opioid epidemic because we are not going to be able to arrest our way out of it.”

FROM STAR TO PRISON STRIPES

Leaf, who was the second overall pick in the 1998 NFL draft behind future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, said his battle with drugs came after his career was over, having started his career with the San Diego Chargers, where Leaf said he went from being, “the most loved guy in San Diego to the most hated in a period of two weeks,” before bouncing around to the Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks. He recounted a story from a boxing match he attended in Las Vegas, where the announcer was naming the celebrities in the audience and when they came to him, everyone booed. Afterwards, he went to a party where he was given two opiates and a drink. “The opiates made the pain go away,” Leaf said. “I hated the feeling and the pills fixed that. I would then go to the » Giddings Cont. from pg. 1

doctor and say I got beat up for a living, show him the X-rays and the surgery notes, and he would give them to me.” Leaf eventually wound up back home in Great Falls, Montana, where he resorted to stealing pills in unique ways. “I would go to open houses acting like I was interested in buying,” he said. “If there were pills in the bathroom, they were there in my hand. I would go to neighbors houses and if they were not there I would check the door. If it was open, I went in. I had the ugliest feelings of shame and guilt knowing what I was doing was wrong, but it came to the point that all I had to do was have those bottles in my hand and I felt nothing.” His actions led to a prison stint for Leaf. Even when he posted his own bond, his parents had him go back to the prison. “They drove me to school, they took me to college, and now they were driving me back to prison for my own good,” Leaf said. “There is no way I could imagine how that must have felt for them to do that.”

ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR AND RECOVERY

Leaf said during the time in prison, he was able to realize that his behavior played a role in his issues well before he ever took a substance. “I was judgmental, fearful, angry and dishonest,” Leaf said.

toddler asphyxiated after getting his neck caught in a wooden board Giddings and her boyfriend, Brandon Bushey, installed as a doorway to keep Elvidge in his room. Bruno said a child gate would have prevented the death. “The board was put up not for your son’s protection but for your convenience,” he said in a statement. “Ms. Giddings was gifted a child to protect and love, but she betrayed that honor and her son’s death was caused by her and her boyfriend Brandon Bushey’s reckless and immature actions,” said Clinton County Assistant District Attorney Domenica Padula in a statement. James Riotto rep-

resented Giddings, and said she has accepted responsibility for her “inactions.” Probation, he unsuccessfully argued, would have better served his client. “I love my son,” said Giddings, according to materials provided by the district attorney’s office. “I wish I could go back and change everything.” Bruno also ordered Giddings to pay a $300 surcharge, a $25 crime victim fee and a DNA sample fee. “The death of a child is always a tragedy,” Bruno said. “Here, a young child died because his parents failed to keep him safe.” Bushey pleaded guilty in September to criminally negligent homicide and is due back for sentencing on Nov. 27. ■

Patricia A. Giddings was sentenced by Clinton County Judge Keith Bruno on Monday. Giddings, 22, pleaded guilty to second degree manslaughter in August. Authorities were called to Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital in Plattsburgh on Aug. 10, 2016 regarding the suspicious death of Ellyah J. Elvidge. A state police investigation revealed the Patricia A. Giddings

Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf addressed a large audience at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse Nov. 1, talking about his addiction issues and road to recovery from opiate abuse.

“When I went off to college, I thought I was a good person. But those traits that I had thought went away started to show up again. They were telling me I was the best quarterback in the nation — better than Peyton Manning. Emotionally, I was a 13-year old child and had everything I ever wanted in life.” While in prison, Leaf said he met the person who helped him change his life in a cellmate who had him start working with reading students in the prison library. “I know now that was a defining moment in my life,” Leaf said. “I was being of service for the first time in my life and I treated service like going to the gym, you had to show up and be consistent.” Leaf said it was the first time he did something for others without thinking about himself. “I had made donations to my university before and done other charitable things, but it was not the same,” he said. “I was a MakeA-Wish for a young boy. I can’t tell you the name of that kid whose dying wish was to spend a day with me because in my mind, that was for me and my marketing... That’s a hard thing to say.” After prison, Leaf found a job offering rides for people in need — another chance for service — with pay of $15 per hour. Leaf said once the job was offered, he gave his new employer a bear hug to show appreciation. “From earning $5 million a year to $15 an hour and giving a bear hug for the chance to have the opportunity is very telling about what you think you need and what you really need in life,” he said. “I had been depressed and a narcissist, I needed to change that and right the ship.” Leaf said he was able to find new goals to focus his life around in accountability, spirituality and community. “When you ask for help, you have to be willing to accept what is offered,” Leaf said. “I realized I needed to do that, because all of my best thinking alone had done nothing but lead me to a prison cell.” ■

gineering phase of the Broadband Program Office Phase II projects, which includes projects within Clinton County,” said Andy Malinoski, a Frontier spokesman, in an email. “We are on track to fulfill our commitment to the BPO, which is completion of the entire phase II initiative by December 2018.” Slic Network Solutions, too, is making progress in Schroon, where progress had been delayed for years. “We are adding new customers there every day,” said Slic Vice President of Technical Operations Kevin Lynch in an email. The Nicholville-based provider has been concentrating on the Paradox Lake area as well as Route 9N into North Hudson. “In the coming weeks, we will be expanding our installation west of Route 87 in the Hoffman Road and surrounding areas,” Lynch said. “We’ve heard from many of our customers who are overjoyed at the ‘blazing fast’ internet they can now experience. One customer has actually told us this is life-changing as they are now able to live full-time in Schroon Lake and work remotely, a longtime dream they’ve had,” Lynch said. Slic also received $771,994 to provide broadband service to Keene, funds that would affect 466 homes. An official with the state Broadband Program Office (BPO) told The Sun in August the

agency is “continuing to analyze the data to finalize the award.” Lynch said last week the status remained unchanged. The state has pledged up to $500 million statewide, which will be leveraged with private investment through three rounds of grant funding. The state has already allocated $266 million, and the North Country has seen $40 million in direct state investment. The final round of awards have not yet been announced. “Phase 3 will be announced in the coming months, as the proposals are currently being evaluated,” said the BPO official. The plan joins a number of pieces of federal legislation designed to boost rural broadband access, including bills co-sponsored by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York. “Though our program is yielding great results for the state, we also support initiatives to further bolster and grow broadband connectivity in rural areas,” said the BPO spokesperson. ■

» Town Hall Cont. from pg. 1 By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT | Moving began last week — this time back into renovated Town Hall quarters. Town officials shuffled boxes, desks, shelving and equipment into bright, freshly remade offices. They’re still settling in and unpacking. But the renewed space smells of fresh-cut wood, clean paint and gentle polish. The work of builders Schelling and Hokie McKinley at High Peaks Building is bright, spacious and detailed. The coved ceiling lifts on arches, cathedral-like, above huge weather-tempered windows that invite the wintry November sunlight. The historic interior trim is remade to frame the white-paneled ceiling. The huge front doors, handcrafted by Kevin Boyle to original specifications, are painted a deep Westport blue.

An original pair of roller skates date to the Town Hall’s use in the 1950s as the DePew Roller-Rink. An historic photo shows the building’s front entrance during that era. Photos by Kim Dedam

And several layers of insulation pressed into new walls keep cold at bay for the first time since the structure was built in 1928. “You could heat this with a candle,” said Westport Supervisor Mike “Ike” Tyler said, pointing to important energy efficiency designs that, in time, will include installation of an electric car charging station in the driveway out back and solar panels. The total price tag is about $780,000, a combination of grant funds and town monies. Grant funding secured the restoration project and included significant green-energy solutions. “It’s already plumbed and wired for solar hot water,” Tyler said. And even though hot-water heating units that will run the long walls in the open meeting room on the first (entry-level) floor, the rooms were warm. “The heating units are running behind schedule,” Tyler said of the order due for delivery in this week.

Westport Supervisor Mike “Ike” Tyler took a minute from moving last week to provide a tour of the newly restored Town Hall. The arched, high ceilings are original along with the hard-wood flooring. The Town Hall reopened for residential business last week and the Town Court on the second floor (down) will reopen this week. Photos by Kim Dedam

RICH HISTORY

Originally built by Westport granger Vernon Gough as the Lake View Grange Hall No. 970, wide spaces connected by ample hallways will welcome community events along with Town Hall meetings, voting booths, presentations and town business gatherings. Hardwood flooring nearly a century old in the main entry remains the same, though shined and clean. Its gray-painted shuffleboard court is still here, a remnant of the building’s epoch as a senior activity-center through parts of the 1960s and 1970s. Its age as the DePew Roller-Rink, starting in 1950, is celebrated with a pair of original Westport DePew Rink roller skates displayed in a glass case, a gift from Judy DePew Howell. Ralph and Esther DePew ran the rink through much of the 1950s. “When my mom (Shirley Viens) was 13, they had her birthday party here,” Clerk to the Supervisor Robin Crandall said. Westport’s Lasher-Still Post No. 324 of the American Legion purchased the building from DePews in 1953, and conveyed the property to the town in 1971, according to documents filed with the National Register of Historic Places. The light spilling into first floor rooms ws enhanced by removal of spongy drop-ceiling tiles. The open floor plan and glassed-in offices suggest transparency, and Tyler said they won’t add shades or blinds to interior glass windows. “I love it,” Crandall said of her soft green office and adjoining work production area. “I love the color, it’s very calming and a room I love to be in.” Tall windows line the eastern back wall at far end of the first floor. The tall panes verlook Lake Champlain, its rolling blue surface and grassy shoreline, and distant ridges of the Green Mountains in Vermont. Tyler’s desk was obtained second-hand, once the desk used by regional historian Gretna Longware, whose sonin-law George Hainer is the code officer. The first floor descends from Tyler’s office down a wide stairway to second and third-floor lower levels. Thus, the floors are numbered as they drop: except on the handicapped-access elevator, where I is the bottom floor and II indicates the street level first-floor. Hallways downstairs are similarly brightly lit with big windows.

The rooms will soon house the Westport Town Court and the Assessor’s office, complete with meeting rooms for attorneys and their clients, public bathrooms and the fireproof safe that holds generations of Westport’s historic records and documents. “The court will move in next week,” Tyler said of the second floor, which now has its own exit. Even though architectural and construction reclamation here is awe-inspiring to see, one of the most important renovations happened in the basement, or “third floor.” Stairs beside the Westport Court descend another flight where significant structural work strengthened the foundation. “This took the most time,” Tyler said, opening the doors to a workshop area still very much in use as construction work reaches the punch list. Pieces of wall trim and sawdust are piled on a solid floor — it’s no longer dirt. “We’ll use this for storage, but the building is sound,” Tyler said, looking at the rebuilt walls. Outside, the narrow clapboards that frame the Town Hall’s exterior gleam with new coats of white paint. “It’s been four or five years since we were awarded the grant funds,” Tyler said of a project that began under former Westport Supervisor Dan Connell. “We had a $500,000 grant from the State Historic Preservation office plus another $100,000 from NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority). Our match was $180,000.” But that figure doesn’t account for the volunteer work done by local hands that helped removing old walls, paint and clear debris.

Seen from the back, the renovated Town Hall in Westport rises three stories. Its newly painted clapboards wrap around weatherized windows and walls insulated against the Lake Champlain winds. Photo by Kim Dedam “We had inmates from Moriah Shock to help, too,” Tyler said of the moving. “By doing that we saved another few hundred thousand dollars.” The first Town Council meeting in the restored Town Hall was set for Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2017 with the Town Budget Public Hearing. “This is really a community center for Westport,” Tyler said. “The town can be really proud of this building and the community effort it took to do this.” ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Open season Sexual predators should take notice: No longer will your behavior be tolerated. The floodgates By Dan Alexander have been opened. • PUBLISHER • No period of time nor individual regardless of position will be immune to those who now realize their silence has proven to facilitate even greater abuses by those who should have been exposed years ago. For far too long, men in influential positions of power have been able to intimidate and buy their way out of actions that would have put the common man behind bars. It comes as no surprise that Washington and Hollywood are the epicenters for this behavior and also just happen to be two of the richest cities in the nation and true seats of significant influence. The old theory of how power can corrupt has been taken to the extreme by these men who’ve assumed their actions would not be challenged. Even when brave women would step forward money and the legal system proved to be a powerful ally for the offenders in their efforts to continue abusing. Sadly, most of those who were abused assumed that they lacked the courage and confidence to speak out. While some knew the system was stacked against them, others may have seen an opportunity in the making. It’s hard to blame a young starlet or political intern who agrees to keep quiet in return for large sums of money. But at what point should we blame the legal system that agrees to a financial reward in return for confidentiality? It’s understandable to protect the innocent when accused as well as the victim, but when repeat offenders are able to steamroll victim after victim, with terms of such behavior even written into employment contracts, our legal system needs to take off her blindfold and realize she is being used as an accomplice to the type of behavior our judicial system must stop. While this recent rash of outings seems to be bringing down many powerful individuals, no one regardless of position should feel safe from being exposed. From trusted family members, educators, doctors, and clergy, to military, politicians, movie stars, and Hollywood moguls, these individuals must be exposed and removed from positions of authority. While all of this may be unsettling to the various halls of power, a good house cleaning is long overdue for those who wield their power strictly for personal gain. ■

From the Editorial Board

Not too late for widespread ethics reform State voters squashed the prospects of holding a constitutional convention last week. While polling showed the measure was headed towards defeat, it’s safe to say even the most seasoned poll-watchers were stunned by the 62 point blowout. Good government groups argued a socalled “con-con” would have been the best chance to curb Albany’s sleazy and dysfunctional culture, from enacting term limits, reigning in campaign contributions and delivering meaningful ethics reform. But unions drove the anti con-con train, arguing benefits and hard-fought protections would be imperiled. State politicians — including all but one of the state’s legislative leaders — argued vehemently against the once-in-a-generation ballot proposal, claiming that reform could come from within. We sounded off against the convention, too, citing our lack of confidence that the process wouldn’t be controlled by lobbyists and special interests. We stand by that assertion — but that doesn’t mean reform isn’t needed. And we think the public appetite reflects that. After a year breathtaking in its roller coaster revelations of political malfeasance, anger continues to crackle amongst the electorate.

Amazon Smile not the best way to help local charities

To the Editor: I take issue with Judy Martin’s recommendation to shop via Amazon to help local nonprofits. Amazon Smile will donate 0.5 percent of the sale to charities. That means you need to spend $2,000 with them to get $10 to your local charity. What would spending that $2,000 locally do for the local economy, and how much would “trickle down” to the charities? For every $1 million in sales, Amazon creates less than two jobs; local retailers create almost five jobs. The more Amazon grows and siphons sales from our local businesses, the fewer jobs are available for you, your family or your neighbors. Local businesses pay local property taxes at higher rates than homeowners. They also collect the local sales tax further benefiting the local communities. As local retailers get squeezed out, the tax burden for our schools and

Early bellwethers for 2018 last week included high-profi le races in Westchester and Nassau counties that saw voters elect Democratic candidates who promised to stamp out corruption (It didn’t hurt that Nassau’s county executive had been indicted on federal corruption charges.) We saw success statewide when voters approved a constitutional amendment to strip elected officials convicted of felonies of their taxpayer funded pensions, a measure previously approved by both the Senate and Assembly. Voters should keep up the momentum. While the governor proposes a spate of ethics reforms every year, efforts to reign in outside income and close the LLC loophole ultimately always end up fizzling. Now is probably a good time to highlight that the state legislature adjourned for the summer this year without tackling these issues. Following an extra-rare special session, Gov. Andrew Cuomo blamed legislators for the failure. But he set the agenda for the “mini ugly,” the bill that shoehorned in a disparate smattering of unfinished business into one package, including renewing mayoral control of New York City schools, reauthorizing local sales taxes and allocating funds to transform Frontier Town into a sparkling regional tourism hub. Not included was a procurement bill

public services will shift more heavily to the local homeowner. All of the money (except for the local delivery drivers) spent at Amazon leaves the local community. Locally-owned businesses channel about half of every sales dollar back into the community. Amazon contributes little (in dollars) to local charities and absolutely nothing in terms of volunteers. Most of our local businesses are deeply engaged in our local community. They donate to our local fundraisers, they volunteer at our local events, they are instrumental in the various volunteer projects we have going on locally. Studies have shown that places with vibrant local businesses have livelier streets, stronger social networks, and more active citizens. In Saranac Lake, over the past few years, volunteer groups have completed four major capital projects totaling close to $3 million: The Carousel, the T-bar at Mt. Pisgah, the Dewey Lodge and the skate park. These could not have happened without the continuing generous support of our local businesses.

that would have established independent oversight over the state’s economic development initiatives, which have come under increased scrutiny recently — including by the state Comptroller’s Office. The previous year, lawmakers headed for the exits despite a session that saw former Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and ex-Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver convicted on federal corruption charges (Both have since been overturned on appeal.) If the governor and state legislative leaders are really serious about curbing corruption, then they should prioritize meaningful reform next year — especially as two of the governor’s former aides are scheduled go to trial on charges related to bribery and bid-rigging some of the state’s keystone economic development projects. Cuomo has positioned himself as a builder, and has spoken openly about his admiration for master builder Robert Moses. Under his tenure, we’ve seen a dizzying array of infrastructure projects: Roads, subway lines, tunnels, airports, bridges that light up and bridges that do not. And he now has the ability to forge a solid foundation. Cuomo should join lawmakers in making ethics reform the centerpiece of the upcoming legislative session — not an afterthought. ■

War with North Korea could cost millions of lives

To the Editor, I just wrote to U.S. Sen. Corey Gardner (R-Colorado). My letter to him is below. Colorado Senator Corey Gardner, I listened to you discuss the North Korean situation with a news reporter recently and your response gives me great concern. Do you have any idea what a war with North Korea really would be like? What do you know about war? Have you watched too much TV on war shows? Have you seen men die on the battlefield, have you visited VA hospitals where our military veterans are being treated and have been treated for years? Have you? War means one thing: people will die!

The real truth is that if you started a war with North Korea, it will last for many years — yes, many years — perhaps longer than any of our present conflicts. Those are facts, Mr. Gardner. Please reconsider your attitude of Trumpism of trying to be a “tough guy” when you really have no idea of what you want the United States getting into. Respectfully, Joe DeMarco, Jay ■

At 100 cars to the mile, this could potentially mean a 30 mile stretch of train parked in place for decades. Talk about your border wall ! Hunters and their prey would need to crawl beneath or not cross through. Hikers, xcountry skiers etc will be barricaded. Todays NYT has a brief article about this, within which one of our local politicians makes a pretty incredulous statement. “It’s a slippery slope,” said Thomas R. Scozzafava, the supervisor of the town of Moriah in Essex County. “Where does it stop? It’s like trying to tell a grocery store, we don’t like the shopping carts out front. What about car dealerships and marinas? Are we going to tell them they can’t store cars and boats? It’s

Car Dealerships are trying to sell cars, not store them, or they would be junkyards. Marinas are in the service business, they don’t want to store unused boats. Tom, just say that you don’t care, or say nothing, but don’t make these false equivalencies. There is no equivalence to this storing of train cars, its unprecedented. Tony Vagianos, Essex ■

Republican tax plan misleading

To the Editor: As a lifelong Republican, I think current tax plans are misleadingly packaged as a tax cut for the poor and middle class. This plan, as presented by Congress, will hurt the poor and the

middle class as follows. When the financial committee finally presented an outline of the tax reform plan, it showed fewer tax brackets — yet the lowest brackets represented higher income percentages than before. Then it was revealed that the benefits would lessen over time for less affluent, but stay the same for the rich. As presented, it won’t do what it is supposed to do: stimulate the economy by causing corporations to invest in equipment and employees. It has been shown time and again that businesses won’t invest unless they are certain that the taxes won’t change. And, since the Senate does not have the 60 votes necessary for preventing the sunsetting of the legislation, corporate businesses won’t invest in what’s good for their employees. In 2008, the economy was wrecked by sub-prime mortgages

Stefanik invites vets to share their stories Veteran stories will be posted to congresswoman’s website throughout November

WATERTOWN | Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is sharing stories of North Country veterans on her Congressional website throughout the month of November in honor of Veterans Day. “The North Country is steeped in rich military tradition and is home to some of the bravest patriots this country has ever known,” Stefanik said. “Our military service members have sacrificed so much to keep our nation safe, and I am honored to serve these brave veterans in Congress. Please help me honor these men and

women who have served by allowing me to share their stories and photos with a grateful nation.” For those residents of New York’s 21st Congressional District who have served in the military or know someone who has, Stefanik is inviting them to submit photos and stories from their time in service to our office. Submit your stories and photos to ny21vets@ mail.house.gov or to Stefanik’s Glens Falls office at 136 Glen Street, Glens Falls, NY 12801. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 26. Do not mail original photos. Those who are submitting material are asked to include a short description of the branch, title, and assignment for photos. They are also asked to be sure they have permission to share photos and stories before sending. ■

and other unregulated abuses. So what did corporations do? AIG asked for a government handout, as did the most egregious commercial banks, and corporations that had cash sat on it or bought out other companies, limiting growth in profits and wages. Between double-taxing state income tax rather than refunds, and forcing retirees like myself to pay more taxes from our hard earned IRAs with no way to replace our fixed income, the “reform” would be giving a $64,000 tax cut for the top 1 percent from the earnings and investment of the less affluent. New York state already gives more to federal government than it receives. Vote this bogus reform down if you expect to get reelected! Do what a public servant should! Tony Chabarek, Chestertown ■

Our featured pet this week is Megyn, a gray and white Domestic Longhair-mix with a luxurious coat and deep emerald eyes who came in with her kittens. They had lived outdoors prior to their arrival at the shelter, and we could tell they’d had a very rough start, with mom cat missing half of her coat and suffering from a severe case of fleas and parasites. Sweet Megyn is now healthy and happy and ready to move on with her life. We believe she is just over a year old, really little more than a kitten herself. She needed some time to warm up to shelter staff in the beginning, but she is now loving this indoor life. Please consider giving this little beauty a forever indoor home. ■ — Kat Wilcox’s weekly column works to publicize the shelter’s adoptable pets. Find out more at ncspca.org.

Guest Viewpoint

Implications of tax reform on the charitable sector By Cali Brooks Last week, the House Ways & Means Committee unveiled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which proposes sweeping tax reform, including several measures that directly affect the nonprofit sector. As the region’s community foundation, Adirondack Foundation works daily to fight for policies that maximize the nonprofit sector’s ability to do the most good for the region. Here in the Adirondack region, nonprofits are vital to the social and economic health of our communities. A 2013 study by Adirondack Foundation found that the economic impact of just 36 nonprofit organizations was over $422 million annually, accounting for approximately 1 in 10 jobs. In many cases, nonprofit organizations like The Wild Center, Adirondack Health, Adirondack Experience, and others are anchor institutions in their community — major sources of employment, draws for visitors, and hubs for social activity. As Congress debates this bill, Adirondack Foundation urges our representatives to carefully consider any and all changes that affect charitable giving. We applaud Congress for removing overly-restrictive policies on Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) and for keeping the charitable deduction intact, but we’re troubled by proposals that could hinder the ability of nonprofits to provide the best services possible to their constituents: Doubling the standard deduction. If approved, this would likely result in fewer people itemizing their taxes, thus removing an important incentive to give to charity. Limiting, and eventually eliminating, the estate tax. The estate tax serves as a major incentive for the wealthy to donate via bequests—bequests that often serve as foundational sources of support for nonprofits. Taxing nonprofit college and university endowments to pay for tax cuts. The bill would impose a new excise tax of 1.4 percent on net investment income of nonprofit colleges and universities with assets valued at more than $250,000 per full-time student. Adirondack Foundation believes that all well-managed nonprofits maintain reserves so they can adjust to changes or seize new opportunities. We’re also keeping close tabs on a proposal that would allow churches to speak out on partisan matters. Traditionally, nonprofits and churches have been protected from political candidates seeking endorsements. In its current form, it’s unclear whether these changes would also apply to other types of religious institutions or other nonprofits. This week, the Council on Foundations released its analysis of the bill as currently proposed. We urge you to visit www.cof.org and learn more about the affects this legislation would have on the charitable sector. Independent Sector, a national group of charities, states that the legislation would decrease charitable deductions by 40 percent, or $95 billion, from current law. We have and will continue to communicate our ideas and concerns to Rep. Elise Stefanik and New York’s congressional delegation. Through our partnership with the Council on Foundations and Community Foundation Public Awareness Initiative, we will stay engaged as tax reform talks move ahead in Washington. ■ — Cali Brooks is president & CEO of Adirondack Foundation.

Stefanik reintroduces broadband legislation Proposed bills join ongoing state efforts to wire rural communities By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Rep. Elise Stefanik (RWillsboro) is reintroducing a pair of bills designed to boost broadband for farmers and rural residents. The Broadband Connections for Rural Opportunities Program Act, known as B-CROP, would award grant funding to rural high-need broadband projects in combination with current loan funding available through USDA’s Rural Utilities Service. Grants of up to 50 percent of a project’s cost, and up to 75 percent for remote, highneed areas, would be covered. “This would be an increase of $50 million per year,” Stefanik told The Sun in a phone interview. “This would essentially give higher priority for underserved areas.” Stefanik is working with a bipartisan group of lawmakers to reintroduce the bill, including Mark Pocan (WI-02), Cheri Bustos (IL-17), Jared Huffman (CA-02) and Hal Rogers (KY-05). A second bill, the Precision Farming Act of 2017, is designed specifically to boost connectivity for farmers, particularly those with large-scale operations heavily reliant on data and automation. “This would be a one-time $15,000 reimbursement for each line installed for a farmer with a precision farming operation,” Stefanik said. Farmers wishing to apply for loans to cover additional installation costs would find their applications prioritized under the Rural Electrification Act. Stefanik said she hopes both bills will move quickly through the committee process and be passed. U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand of New 10th Annual

York and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia introduced B-CROP companion legislation in the U.S. Senate earlier this year.

MAKE OR BREAK

Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland said reliable broadband is critical for precision farming, which is heavily automated and data-oriented. Farmers are constantly tracking metrics like production, cell counts, soil health and fertilizer conditions, said Gillilland, who also serves as Willsboro supervisor. “The farmer is trying to optimize the operation,” he said. “They’re on their computers constantly working this, inputting, collecting and analyzing data on their smartphones.” Time management is critical in modernday farming, and farmers are continually trying to optimize their time. “The need to track data is paramount in a modern farming operation,” Gillilland said, “and broadband access and modernization for the modern farmer determines success or not.” Gillilland, a cattle farmer, personally uses smartphone apps for tracking grass production and herd movements. B-CROP would give the highest priority to projects in areas that are currently unserved by high-speed broadband — like Willsboro, which is also Stefanik’s adopted hometown. Farms in Essex County tend to be at the end of the line, or the so-called “last mile” when buildouts of fiber networks become prohibitively expensive. Access isn’t possible without government support, Gillilland said. “This gives some added boost for farmers to get access,” he said. “Every farmer would benefit from this program.” Gillilland commended Stefanik for prioritizing the issue. “She is constantly out and about and talking,” he said. “Her ear is to the problems and issues we

Gillilland said state officials have assured him that Willsboro and Essex County will be fully covered under the program. “I haven’t seen any hard data if that’s going to happen or not,” he said. “But what we get is what we get and we don’t have any choice.” ■

Essex County American Legion held a formal observance Saturday at the Essex County Veterans’ Cemetery. Members of the American Legion Posts 1319 from Lewis and 551 from Elizabethtown and 1713 from Whitehall participated. Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew, a veteran, read aloud a commemoration from Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Essex County American Legion Adjutant and Chairman of the Essex County Veterans’ Cemetery Committee Newman Tryon served as emcee at the event. Opening and closing prayers were offered by Church of the Good Shepherd Father David Sullivan. Since the dedication of the Veteran’s Cemetery in May 2006, 55 veterans and five spouses of veterans have been laid to rest there. Represented among veteran’s at the cemetery are those who served in World War II and all wars since except Afghanistan. Three of these men received the Purple Heart medal; one was awarded a Silver Star and a Bronze Star. Photos by Kim Dedam

ELIZABETHTOWN | Students at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School had the chance to experience the “adult life” during a student awareness day Nov. 9.

The Valley News Sun | November 18, 2017 • 11

Throughout the morning, students had the chance to learn from several presentations, including car basics, banking, finances, social services, firearm and hunting safety, distracted driving, wildlife rehab, insurance and puberty. “We did this about eight years ago for a few years and we wanted to bring it back,” said teacher Connie Blaine. “There is a lot of legwork to bring in the presenters and

get everything in place, but we were able to make it happen this year.” “These are all about the basics of being an adult,” said teacher Kaitlin Fielder. “These are the things you usually do not get in a classroom but everyone needs to know about. The students have been very attentive throughout and our presenters were very excited to be here.”

Blaine said the school is also thinking about having another day in the spring which would be more towards health and body awareness. “This event was more cognitive, so the spring would be more body and mind focused with yoga and other events,” she said. “We are also hoping to do a First Aid training course for select students.” ■

Jackson defeats Boisen in Essex Former supervisors fought for seat being vacated by Ed Gardner By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Ron Jackson will be the next Town of Essex Supervisor, fending off a write-in challenge from a longstanding political rival. Jackson, a Republican, ran unopposed on the ballot and received 159 votes last Tuesday. Former two-term supervisor Sharon Boisen received 68 votes as a write-in candidate, according to the official count by the Essex County Board of Elections on Thursday. Absentee ballots were due back by Nov. 15, but aren’t expected to change the outcome. The bid is the third consecutive election in which Boisen has fallen short in seeking the seat. The tangle between Jackson and Boisen is the latest in a rivalry that goes back at least a decade. Jackson served as town supervisor from 2001 to 2009 — and rose to Vice Chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors — before being defeated by Boisen, an independent.

“We believe the people should have viable options when voting and that no one should walk into office uncontested,” Boisen told The Sun in an email. Asked why she didn’t run a traditional campaign, she responded, “Opportunity to challenge through ‘traditional means’ had expired by the time efforts began.” “With Mr. Jackson aware of our last minute efforts, he obtained 159 (to date) votes of confidence from 466 registered voters in Essex,” Boisen said. Running a write-in campaign is not entirely unheard of in Essex County. Ticonderoga Supervisor Joe Giordano was swept into office in a shock upset two years ago as a write-in, and his predecessor, Bill Grinnell, fell short in a rematch last week, losing by a 3 to 1 margin. In Schroon Lake, Don Miller ran a spirited write-in campaign for a town council seat, but failed to secure a victory. Gretel Schueller waged a successful campaign for Essex Town Council in 2015, winning by just three votes. Jackson said he was undeterred that a segment of the populace threw their weight behind his longtime rival and said it wouldn’t affect his ability to govern.

Boisen served two terms until she lost the seat to Ed Gardner, a Republican backed by Jackson, in 2013. Boisen attempted to unseat Gardner in 2015, but fell short. Gardner announced his retirement this year, and the seat became open. Filing deadlines came and went, and no candidates emerged to challenge Jackson, who is also a former Essex County Republican Committee Chairman. But Jackson suspected Boisen would make a bid for the seat. “I knew she was going to run,” Jackson told The Sun. “The question was how. I suspected right from the beginning she would do a write-in because she failed twice on the ballot.” Jackson said he ran for his old job because he was displeased with how Boisen handled the town’s $11.2 million sewer project during her tenure. As the town moves to complete an ongoing water project, he said he remains skeptical of her ability to oversee the effort. “I didn’t consider her to be a competent supervisor,” Jackson said. “I didn’t want her to handle that the same way the sewer was.” Boisen described her campaign as “a combination of efforts.”

“Most people face opposition and it is what it is,” he said. Top priorities for the town, he said, are finishing improvements on the water treatment plan and continued improvement of the local road system. At the county level, Jackson said he wanted to tackle “monetary and infrastructure problems,” as well as lend his expertise as the county weighs the creation of a countywide emergency response district. Jackson is an active member of the Willsboro-Essex EMS. “There will be an active EMT that can help Shaun (Gillilland), Patty (Bashaw) and (Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman) Randy Preston working on this and providing an EMT perspective as well,” Jackson said. Ten incumbent supervisors in Essex County ran uncontested this year, including James Monty (Lewis), Noel Merrihew (Elizabethtown), Tom Scozzafava (Moriah), Joe Pete Wilson, Jr. (Keene), Steven McNally (Minerva), Mike Marnell (Schroon), Michael “Ike” Tyler (Westport), Shaun GIllilland (Willsboro), Archie Depo (Jay) and Charles Harrington (Crown Point). Robin DeLoria and Dean Montroy ran uncontested for open seats in Newcomb and St. Armand, respectively. ■

Lake Placid run ends in Final Four

Blue Bombers fall to BBE, 4-0 By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

MIDDLETOWN | Through 40 minutes of play, the Lake Placid boy’s varsity soccer team proved they were a worthy competitor in the NYSPHSAA Class C final four against Byron Bergen/Eden. However, BBE was able to connect on three of their four goals over a 10 minute span in the second half to eliminate the Blue Bombers, 4-0, from the state tournament. BBE would lose to Lansing in the state title game. “When we got through the first half level. I felt that was a win,” coach Stuart Hemsley said following the game. “I don’t think we played our best today, Some of the kids were very nervous and I think our youth showed up today.” The Blue Bombers, which will return 10 of their regular players next season, benefited from the stellar play of goalie Jacob Novick, who Hemsely said was a main reason the team was in Middletown.

“He seemed to be the most nervous and most emotional about the game,” Hemsley said. “I told him after he had no reason to be upset because his play is what got us here.” Novick was in net for a pair of shootout wins in the playoffs, while posting shutouts in the regional rounds. Hemsley said this was a big moment for the team and all of his players, especially the underclassmen who grew throughout the season. “To get here is an honor and to be able to compete, it doesn’t get any better if you are a high school player,” he said. “You won’t forget that and if you are a freshman or sophomore, you want to do everything you can to get that back.” “Our season of learning ended with a 4-0 loss and all I wanted them to do at the end is pass to each other because we can. When we come back, we will play the game the right way,” Hemsley added. “I never dreamed they would be able to play this year the way I asked them to play and they amazed me who far they could come.” Hemsley said he is looking forward to next season. “I’d like another shot at (BBE), even if it’s just a friendly,” he said. ■

Saranac Lake falls in first regional finals bid

SARANAC | The 2017 playoff season came to and end for Section VII volleyball on Nov. 11, as all three sectional champions were unable to find the answers to beat a trio of Section II teams hungry to play in their own backyard for the state championships in Glens Falls.

CLASS C

The Saranac Lake Lady Red Storm entered their first regional final in school history after scoring the sectional title one week earlier, but were unable to find an answer for Voorheesville in a 3-0 sweep. Sydney Andronica led the defensive charge for the Red Storm with 12 digs, while Danielle Gonyea had four kills on offense and two blocks at the net defensively.

CLASS B

One year after what many considered one of the best regional final games ever played, when Beekmantown lost 25-23 in a fifth game to perennial Section II power Hudson Falls, the defending regional champs gave the Eagles little chance to make runs Nov. 11, scoring a three-game victory with games of 25-12, 25-11 and 25-15. Kaitlyn Bjelko and Courtney Macey provided six kills each for the Eagles offense, while Emily Morrissey and Alyexs Hawks had six kills each on defense. ■ Danielle Gonyea attempts a spike for the Saranac Lake girls soccer team in the Section VII finals.
