AG appeals KEENE VALLEY LIBRARY Judge Main BREAKS GROUND ruling on railroad conversion » pg. 3

Case will go to Appellate Division

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

RAY BROOK | State agencies will appeal the September Supreme Court decision by Judge Robert G. Main Jr. to halt Remsen-Lake Placid Travel Corridor reconstruction.

The lawsuit was brought in the spring of 2016 by the Adirondack Railway Preservation Society, which operates the Adirondack Scenic Railroad.

Main ordered state agencies to halt their $8 million plan to remove 34 miles of the historic railroad tracks between Lake Placid and Tupper Lake and replace the line with a multi-use recreational path.

The state Department of Transportation and Department of Environmental Conservation’s 2016 revision to the Travel Corridor’s Unit Management Plan, Main said in September, is “annulled and vacated, it its entirety, and in each and every part.”

The state UMP revision was approved by the Adirondack Park Agency in February of 2016.

All three agencies are represented in court by the Plattsburgh office of New York’s Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, according to court documents.

No railroad tracks have yet been removed, but scenic railroad excursions and rail-bike pedal adventures were eliminated from the northern tracks as of last summer.

Judge Main said converting the northern end of the Travel Corridor’s existing railway to a recreation trail for walking, running, biking, skiing and snowmobiling “constitutes a reclassification beyond the authority of the 2016 UMP.” He also found the state had not completed proper title review for privately held segments of the corridor.

“That such a reasonable and appropriate title review, which is basic and ordinary legal research, did not occur until after approval of a trail conversion of Segment 2 (northern end) is inexplicable,” the Supreme Court judge said.

Removal of the tracks in these areas, Main said, would effectively end long-standing land-use easements held by the state.

The case goes next to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, Third Judicial Department.

The state has until the end of December to perfect and file their legal argument. ■

Holocaust and tolerance talk at ELCS Local rabbi speaks with middle, high school students

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Rabbi Alec Friedmann was not alive when the Holocaust took place, but he has felt the affects it had on his parents from youth.

“Part of my upbringing was you never know when you are going to have to leave,” said Friedmann. “My father never talked about what happened in the holocaust, and my mother talked about it only in terms of what she lost. She lost the ability to go to arts school. My mother-in-law never talked about her experience only to say she lost her entire family and was the only one to get out.”

Friedmann, a second generation survivor, spoke to students at ElizabethtownLewis Central School Nov. 9 on the topic of the Holocaust and moving forward into a theme on tolerance.

“Recently, there were Nazis marching in Virginia and they were chanting, ‘The Jews will not replace us,’” said Friedmann,

referring to protests in Charlottesville, Va. “My answer to that question is, ‘Why would we want to?’ Does anyone have the answer, because I don’t.”

Friedmann talked about the experiences of members of his family, who were scattered from South Africa to England, as well as taken prisoner.

The rabbi said it is important to remember the history of the mass killing of six million Jews, which was three-quarters of the world population, a number Friedmann said still has not been fully replenished.

“Jewish survivors of the Holocaust are in the same boat as World War II veterans,” he said. “They have grown old and they are now dying off.”

“We felt it was important for our stu-

dents to hear from the rabbi and remember what happened,” teacher Kaitlin Fielder said. “With what we have seen going on recently, speaking about being nice to each other is an important lesson.”

“With the issues in Charlottesville and what we have seen in the political world, we are seeing examples in this country of intolerance to other’s ideals and we want to help the students realize that and raise awareness,” teacher Connie Blaine said.

Friedmann addressed students for about an hour, also teaching them about what a rabbi is and what they do.

Students also had a chance to ask questions and engage in conversation before participating in an activity on tolerance after the presentation. ■

Christmas in Westport set for Dec. 2 Annual day-long celebration on Dec. 2 coordinates downtown small business with holiday activities for families, kids Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT | Christmas arrives here the first weekend in December with a day full of merry Main Street flourish.

Christmas in Westport is set for Dec. 2 this year with events of all stripes, for children, for runners and racers and ornament makers.

Organizers at the Heritage House Committee have dovetailed special seasonal activities for families with many local organizations.

There is time to choose a Christmas tree

from the Westport Boy Scouts, a wreath from Westport Central School’s senior class and support the Westport Cub Scouts bottle drive, all beginning at the Heritage House at 8 a.m.

Santa will visit Heritage House at 10 a.m., part of the Sisco Lodge #259 Mason’s Holiday Party!

The December’s Country Market, an indoor crafts and farmers’ market held next weekend at the Federated Church, begins also at 10 a.m.

Downtown celebration expands from Heritage House and the church into Ballard Park and throughout local businesses. The idea, organizers said, it to combine shopping on Main Street with fun and festive holiday things to do.

Ornament making this year begins at 10 a.m. at the Ledge Hill Studio Downtown art gallery on Main Street.

Ernie’s Market will help children with letter-writing to Santa, and cookie decorating is nearby at Bradamant Real Estate offices.

Ballard Park opens registration for the annual Fun Run at 10 a.m. with the race around Westport streets to start at 11 a.m.

And downtown stores,including the Westport Marina Ship & Shore Boutique, Ledge Hill Studio Downtown and Bessboro Gift Shop will be open all day.

K & D Deli has lunch specials on the menu.

And a seasonal story time begins beside the fireplace at Westport Free Library at 12:30 p.m.

The Federated Church is putting on a com-

munity spaghetti dinner from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. during Christmas in Westport festivities.

Many other events are in the works for Dec. 2 as well.

Christmas in Westport is planned annually by the Westport Chamber of Commerce and its Heritage House Committee in cooperation with several local organizations. ■

Boy Scouts in Westport will host their Christmas Tree sale at the Heritage House on Main Street starting at 8 a.m. An annual fundraiser, the scouts have proved successful at this event, often selling out of trees in the morning.

Troopers, sheriff’s deputies graduate from Crisis Intervention Team training Advanced class designed to help first responders recognize and respond to mental illness

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

LEWIS | People aren’t always at their best during encounters with law enforcement.

But while police may be dispatched to handle an incident, it isn’t always a law enforcement issue, but rather a mental health one.

That’s the concept underpinning Crisis Intervention Team training.

Six state troopers and six Essex County sheriff’s deputies graduated from the weeklong program last Friday at the Essex County Public Safety Building.

“The purpose of this initiative is to enhance crisis intervention services by improving how the criminal justice and behavioral health systems identify and handle individuals experiencing mental health-related crises within our community,” said Essex County Director of Mental Health Steve Valley.

People with specific behavioral health needs — including those grappling with substance abuse or mental illness — may not respond to police in a rational manner when engaged in a mental health crisis, explained said Don Kamin, director of the Institute for Police, Mental Health and Community Collaboration in Rochester.

This can lead to unnecessary conflict with

Twelve members of the New York State Police and Essex County Sheriff’s Office graduated from Crisis Intervention Team training on Friday, Nov. 17 at the Essex County Public Safety Building in Lewis, New York.

The goal in crisis response training is to minimize times when law enforcement must be first responders to a crisis, instead diverting suspects to mental health agencies for the proper treatment.

“It’s not a get out of jail free card,” Kamin said.

But when they do have to respond, law enforcement must be equipped to have the knowledge, skills and support to assess and de-escalate the situation.

A major component is slowing down to “correct and direct” when arriving on-scene, and listening to individuals in distress before making that connection, Kamin said.

Every law enforcement officer has basic de-escalation skills as part of their training, he said, and the course builds upon those.

Grads are awarded a specialized status, not unlike SCUBA or search and rescue units.

But it’s not for everyone.

Phase two of 3-5 year project underway

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

KEENE VALLEY | The second part of a multi-year plan is underway at the Keene Valley Library to bring the facility into the 21st century.

Students from Keene Central School were on hand to help break ground on the next phase of the capital cam-

Attention All Advertisers!

EARLY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR’S DEADLINES FOR DISPLAY, LEGALS AND CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Our of�ices will be closed on Monday, December 25th and Monday, January 1st Early deadlines are as follows:

“We want people who have the passion, and the compassion, and have the patience to deal with some of these many challenging issues in the community,” he said.

The Essex County Sheriff’s Office, the Essex County Mental Health Department and the New York State Police have been working for months on the initiative, which is sponsored by the state Office of Mental Health.

Funding was made possible through the state Senate.

Now that this initial crop of officers has been trained, the goal now is to empower the fresh grads to eventually train their colleagues, ensuring the program can be sustainable at the local level.

“The target for most law enforcement agencies is about 20 percent or so of the road patrol,” he said.

Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting said law enforcement has come a long way since

paign and project Nov. 9, helping to ceremoniously dig the dirt from the ground.

“We are currently earning for this second phase and raising funds, which will include a new walkway into the library,” said Charity Marlatt. “There will be a vestibule and entrance into the circulation area.”

The project will also design and build a new computer lab area, new and expanded children and youth area, maker space and a non-fiction section on the basement level and Alpine and digital conference room on the second floor.

New facilities will also be created for patrons.

“The reading room will not be changed,” Marlatt said.

“This is a very special room and cherished by all who use the library.”

the days of “Gunsmoke” when there were only three options for dealing with bad guys: “Shoot ‘em, beat ‘em or run ‘em out of town,” Cutting said.

“I don’t think the problems have changed a lot, but the solutions have come 180 degrees,” he said. “Let’s see how much of a difference we can make. It’s great to see this happen.”

New York State Police Troop B Major John Tibbitts, Jr. said the training is just the beginning.

“It’s a tool in your toolbox,” he told the graduates.

The training element is the most visible part of the program. But collaboration between law enforcement and mental health agencies will be ongoing.

Incoming Essex County Mental Health Director Terri Morse urged graduates not to lose sight that while people in crisis may not be behaving in their best interest, they still matter.

“You can still see there is value and they’re still worthwhile,” Morse said. ■

The library will still be opened throughout the construction on the project.

Chesterfield budget gives taxpayers break

Tax rate goes down

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

CHESTERFIELD | With a nine percent increase in health insurance costs, the town of Chesterfield decided to use fund balance

to help keep the 2018 spending plan under the state tax levy cap.

Town residents will see a decrease in their tax rate of roughly seven cents per $100,000 of assessed property value.

Chesterfield Supervisor Gerry Morrow said the near $3.1 million spending plan also benefits from a 45 percent increase in court

revenues to help meet the cap.

As part of the budget, all non-elected employees received a 3 percent pay raise.

Tax rate per $1,000 assessed property value: 2018 - $7.12, 2017 - $7.19, a decrease of 7 cents, or -0.98 percent. This would be a savings of $7 on a $100,000 home.

Tax levy: 2018 - $1,728,864.22; 2017 -

$1,705,836, an increase of $23.028.22, or 1.34 percent.

Over/under cap: Under Fund balance used: 2018 - $116,000; 2017 - $53,534 Total appropriations: 2018 $3,098,104.22; 2017 - $2,983,656.00, a difference of $114,448.22,or 3.83 percent. ■

Ausable under cap with 2018 spending plan Rise in health insurance premiums drives costs

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

AUSABLE | The Town of Ausable is under the cap with their 2018 spending plan.

A public hearing was held Nov. 8.

Health insurance costs are up 11 percent, and employees

are required to pay 25 percent.

The budget also contains a line item for $30,000 in outof-pocket engineering costs to restore the Keeseville Civic Center. The town previously received a RestoreNY grant to rehab the former high school.

The spending plan has budgeted a 3 percent raise for town employees.

“Overall, a good effort to keep us under the tax cap,” said Supervisor Sandy Senecal.

The tax levy for the general fund is $5.14 per $1,000 in assessed value, up 9 cents from 2017, not including

special districts.

This amounts to a $9 annual increase on a home assessed at $100,000.

The levy for the highway fund dropped 1 cent from 2017 levels to $4.83 per $1,000 in assessed value.

The total tax levy is $1,397,745.

Appropriations for the general fund are $1,025,526, with unexpended fund balance to be applied to achieve the $715,746 to be raised by taxes.

Highway appropriations are $902,964, with $673,599 in unexpended fund balance being used to offset the levy. ■

Buggies, tractors highlighted in traffic workshop Local law enforcement briefed by Yates County sheriff on slow-moving vehicles

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

LEWIS | Local law enforcement last week got a crash course in slow-moving vehicle awareness training designed to prevent crashes.

Yates County Sheriff Ron Spike briefed members of the Essex County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police on Nov. 3.

Mechanized, agricultural and horse-drawn vehicles were discussed at the seminar.

“It was a very informative, a good meeting

by Sheriff Spike,” said Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting, who hosted the event.

A recent factor joining tractors and farm equipment are horse-drawn buggies, which have become increasingly common on local roads as the Amish continue to migrate to

the area from St. Lawrence County.

No vehicle-buggy collisions have yet been reported to the county sheriff’s office, Cutting said.

“I’ve heard a few concerns about slowmoving vehicles, but not a lot,” he said.

Motorists should be advised of what’s known as “slowing rates,” or the amount of time it takes to reach a vehicle.

“It’s only a matter of a few seconds before you’re on them,” Cutting said.

Tractors do not always signal when leaving roadways, he added.

“Be very vigilant, look for reflective vehicles, the triangular sign and give them space to be cautious,” Cutting said.

While the Amish use reflective tape and small lenses on their jet-black buggies, they are not required to utilize the orange triangles used to designate slow-moving vehicles for religious reasons.

At least three settlements have popped up in Essex and Willsboro.

Local officials say road signage would be useful as a way to alert motorists of their presence.

“We need to put signs up in the vicinity of

WORSHIP

where the buggies live,” said Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland. “We would love to have more signs because they go back and forth from the village.”

Gillilland said residents have become more aware of the vehicles, particularly at dusk between April and October when tractors and buggies are leaving the fields.

“They make welcome neighbors,” Gillilland said.

Members of St. Lawrence County and Clinton County Sheriff’s Office also attended

the seminar alongside members of the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee.

The committee and the New York State Sheriffs’ Association held a symposium on slow-moving vehicles in Syracuse in February.

Traffic Safety Committee Member Anthony D’Agostino, who helped organize the event, said in a statement the symposium showed that most crashes involving slow-moving vehicles occur during daylight hours, so distraction is often more of a cause than visibility. ■

Combat vets give to Willsboro youth Funds to add sports equipment, basketball to Noblewood beach area

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

WILLSBORO | U.S. Army combat veterans delivered a surprise gift to young people here.

A $500 donation to the Willsboro Youth Commission will buy new sports equipment and basketball gear, adding to the town’s list of fun things for kids to do.

Ron Doshna and Roger Sayward, both Vietnam War vets from Willsboro and members of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, brought a check to Supervisor Shaun Gillilland last week.

“This took us by surprise,” Gillilland said, expressing appreciation for the gift.

“We run programs all year round,” he said of the youth commission that provides outings, sports events and activities, including a sixweek summer camp at Noblewood Beach, for upwards of 70 young people.

“The youth commission is expanding to include trips to the YMCA (in Plattsburgh) and to The Crux (indoor climbing facility).

We are looking to add experiences for kids.”

Doshna and Sayward said the idea to donate to the youth program came as combat veterans looked to distribute proceeds from their fundraisers and commemorative rides this summer. The funds come primarily from participation fees.

There are more than 50 members throughout this region, Doshna said of the CMVA Chapter 19-3, The Ghost Chapter.

Members hail from all branches of military service across Northern New York, reaching from Tupper Lake and Malone to Peru, Plattsburgh and Ticonderoga.

“The Ghost Ride (July 22) last summer had over 300 bikes from nine states,” he said.

The ride rallies in Ticonderoga, and hosts a Friday evening pig roast. The road trip tours Saturday through the Adirondacks with fees at $20 toward fundraising. The event last July drew more than 400 participants.

“It was a little over 100 miles we did that day,” Sayward said.

“Everything we get we give back 100 percent,” Doshna said.

The ghost riders also escort North Country Honor Flight veterans to and from police barracks for send-off ceremonies at the Plattsburgh International Airport — and back when they return home from Washington, D.C. The donation to Willsboro’s youth was accepted with gratitude by Justin Drinkwine, who oversees the summer youth activities and is on

Drinkwine said the monies would help expand recreation opportunity for Willsboro’s kids.

Stefanik votes ‘no’ on House tax plan SALT continues to be dealbreaker

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WASHINGTON, D.C. | The House of Representatives passed tax reform legislation on Thursday, fulfilling a longstanding pledge to overhaul the nation’s tax code for the first time in 30 years.

The vote was 227-205.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) was among the 13 Republicans who voted against the measure, citing the repeal of the State and Local Tax Deduction, or SALT. “I support comprehensive tax reform that provides tax relief to hardworking North Country families,” said Stefanik in a statement. “I remain concerned about the elimination of the State and Local Tax Deduction which penalizes taxpayers in high taxed states like New York. I will be voting no today to stand up for New York taxpayers in my district.”

SALT has occupied a central position in the debate, with New York lawmakers arguing it will deprive the state’s residents of a much-needed tax write-off that averages $6,000 annually.

The bill passed Thursday limits the deduction to the first $10,000 paid in property taxes.

Repeal would generate $1.3 trillion in revenue to offset income tax cuts elsewhere.

But 3.3 million New Yorkers receive the deduction, according to the governor’s office, saving some $17.3 billion.

Stefanik criticized the state for failing to control its spending.

“This bill highlights the failure of New York State to rein in spending, and to reduce the tax burden for all New Yorkers,” she said.

The second-term lawmaker said she will continue to work closely with her colleagues from other highly taxed states to ensure that the final tax reform package in Conference “addresses these concerns and provides real tax relief for families in New York’s 21st District.”

The bill now heads to the Senate.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has led a full-out war against the plan, calling it a “targeted assault on New Yorkers that will deliver a catastrophic blow to our economy.”

Repeal of SALT, Cuomo said, directly threatens the progress the state has made on rolling back property taxes, including the tax cap and shared services initiative that required counties to craft collaborative plans with local stakeholders.

“If you can’t deduct them from your federal income tax, you will now be taxed on the tax that you pay for property taxes,” Cuomo said on Thursday. “The federal government will tax your property tax and they will tax your income tax.” As the House has worked to hash out the bill, Cuomo has targeted specific lawmakers from New York’s GOP delegation, calling those in favor of the legislation “Benedict Arnolds” and claiming their votes go against the best interest of their constituents.

Tom Reed were the four Republicans from New York who voted for the measure.

“Any member from New York that votes for this bill is voting to take billions of dollars from middle class New Yorkers and send that money to corporations, billionaires and other states,” Cuomo said.

Mary Alice Shemo, a local activist, led a small knot of protesters outside of Stefanik’s Plattsburgh office on Wednesday.

“I’m pleased that she kept her word, that she said she was going to,” said Shemo after the vote. “I’m very happy with our congresswoman at this point.”

Stefanik also voted against the federal budget resolution earlier this month, citing concerns over SALT. The bill now heads to the Senate, where GOP leaders have said they want to pass legislation and get it to the president’s desk before the end of the year. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Porch pirates Who says there is no Christmas Grinch?

Online shopping volume has been growing over the last few years and

By Dan Alexander so has the rise of front• PUBLISHER • porch package theft— perpetrated by “porch pirates.”

A 2017 Package Theft Study among 500 U.S. homeowners ages 17-54 was recently released by YourLocalSecurity.com.

The new study revealed that 73 percent of Americans believe their porch is a safe place for package deliveries.

However, despite that confidence, 71 million Americans had packages stolen from their front porches in 2016.

You might feel pretty safe starting your online holiday shopping over Black Friday weekend and trusting your package deliveries to the safety of your front porch.

But should you?

Here is a peek at some national statistics: • Americans spend an average of 22 percent more online purchases over the Black Friday weekend than during other times of the year • 71 million Americans had a package stolen in the last year.

• 74 percent of packages were stolen from the front porch during the day while the homeowner was at work..

• 108 million shopped online during Black Friday weekend spending an estimated $5 billion in 2016.

How to help prevent a disappointing Black Friday experience: • Seasoned thieves are working overtime during the holiday season, especially right after the Black Friday weekend.

• Make your purchases locally at the store to avoid the threat of theft altogether.

• If you must shop online, have the merchandise delivered to a safe location. Ask your neighbors to keep an extra eye out when you’re expecting an important package, or ask if the product could be delivered to their home if they are planning to be home.

• Consider installation of a doorbell camera. Not only does a doorbell camera add a layer of security to your home’s entrance, it can also monitor the activity at your front door, allowing you to tell a delivery person to leave the package in a safer location.

It also serves to confirm a delivery so you’ll know right away if something is missing versus waiting too long to seek assistance or a replacement.

If snagging the best holiday deals is at the top of your list this season, please do so safely and please think local first.

Just make sure to prepare your home for delivery before hitting those one-click purchase options. With the right precautions in place, you can enjoy a protected and joyful holiday shopping experience. ■

Opinion From the Editorial Board

A celebration of the fall sports season The year has started off well for Section VII sports.

Of course, you start with the state champion Chazy Eagles, who will sew an eighth star onto their uniforms after earning a co-championship in a 1-1 draw against Mount Academy.

Look at the stats and this may be one of the best teams in Chazy history.

While it did not score as much as some other Eagles’ squads, it defended on historic levels, not allowing a goal to a Class C or Class D team until the final game of the season, only allowing four goals all year.

When you play high-quality defensive soccer, you are going to win the high-quality games, which the state title game was over a solid team in Mount Academy.

As for the debate on whether or not a state title game should end in a draw, all we can say was we were pleased with the result after watching two teams give their all for 110 minutes, being so tired at the end of the game it may have been the first time anyone has seen a Chazy team start playing kickball.

However, Chazy was not the only team making the final weekend of the season. The Lake Placid boy’s and Moriah girl’s soccer teams made program history as they made their first ever appearance in the state semifinals.

For the Lady Vikings, it was the culmination of a Cinderella-to-Queen of the ball story, going from their unprecedented eighthseed run in 2016 to this season, where they

Not paying attention on cause of opioid crisis

To the Editor: Opioid epidemic, your government at work. Have you ever heard of the “Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug Enforcement Act”?

Tom Marino, Marsha Blackburn and Orrin Hatch were major sponsors of the bill which became law in 2016.

The law made it very difficult, if not impossible, for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to stop suspicious shipments of opioid painkillers by drug distributors.

In other words, it weakened DEA’s efforts against drug companies that were supplying corrupt doctors and pharmacists who peddled narcotics on the black market.

The drug industry has spent $106 million lobbying Congress on this legislation. Mckesson Corp., Amerisource Bergen and Cardinal Health together spent $13 million lobbying for this bill.

The DEA’s most effective enforcement tool is called “immediate suspension order.” This allowed the DEA to shut down drug companies that are sending hundreds of mil-

were the comeback kids, trailing in all but one post-season games as they played their way to the Cortland area and the Final Four.

It was also the second time in nine months the Lady Vikings have made school history, going to their first basketball final four in March.

For Lake Placid, it was a true underdog story, going into the sectionals as the fourth seed and defeating the top two seeds and gaining revenge against Maple Hill as they advanced to Middletown.

Led by a hot goalie in Jacob Novick and timely scoring, the Blue Bombers helped to prove Division II of the Northern Soccer Conference is a good as it gets, with three schools in the final four and seven of the eight sectional finalists in Classes C and D coming from that division.

In football, Ticonderoga and Moriah were as dominant as they come, beating up everyone in Section VII except for each other, with the Sentinels earning the regular season win and the Vikings winning the Class D title, advancing to the state quarterfinal round.

In volleyball, it was a season where Saranac won the CVAC title, and Saranac Lake won the Class C championship game along with Beekmantown winning in B and Northern Adirondack going from a program who won two games (not matches, games) in 2016 before winning the Class D championship this season.

Delaney Brown continued to keep her reign over the CVAC gymnastics world,

lions pills downstream, unchecked.

Tom Marino (R-Pa) said that the law was written by an industry lawyer.

The lawyer who wrote this law (for the drug industry) knew exactly what he was doing.

By changing the language in the law, he tied the hands of the DEA so that they couldn’t stop the drug dealers from selling their drugs to the corrupt doctors and pharmacists!

The law was passed without any discussion or comments by any of our legislators.

On Tuesday morning on CNN, there was a discussion with a congressman about “The Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug enforcement Act.” The congressman was asked, “How was this bill passed?

He answered, “I guess we weren’t paying attention.”

Peru had a strong season in cross country, sweeping the Class B titles while finishing first and second in the girl’s and boy’s CVAC standings, respectively. The Saranac Lake boys and Saranac girls also had strong performances at the state meet, placing in fifth and sixth place, respectively.

Don’t criticize supers who voted for railroad

To the Editor: Public officials do not always make the right decisions!

How well I know first-hand.

Most of the time even your best judgment comes back to bite you in a very unsuspecting way. That’s my take on the storage of used rail cars by the Saratoga-North Creek Railroad.

A tourist train traveling through some of the area’s most scenic vistas, supporting the hamlets of North Creek, Hadley and Corinth probably seemed like a great investment in our tourist industry.

Who would have predicated the necessity to create a “junkyard” in the midst of our great Adirondack Park?

It’s happening now and several groups are attempting, rightly so, to stop it from occurring.

Call them rail cars or tankers, sing a song about them, doing it legally makes little difference — it’s a “junkyard.”

They will never be used again!

They will deteriorate, rust, corrode and will be there long after the railroad leaves in four years at the end of their lease.

Can you imagine their lease being renewed after this breakdown in the respect they have for our beautiful Adirondacks?

And the cars will still be there.

Who will then pay for removal?

An everlasting man-made barrier stretching for miles in the wilderness. Hunters and hikers can crawl between the cars but wildlife will have to detour.

So, don’t criticize the supervisors that voted for the railroad, join them and the governor, Adirondack Council, Association of Town and Villages, Warren and Essex County and the APA in finding a way to remove them now legally.

Public Broadcasting: A halfcentury of public service

By Bill McColgan GUEST COLUMNIST

Public broadcasting in America turned 50 last week, and Mountain Lake PBS joins America in saluting this national treasure.

In signing the Public Broadcasting Act in 1967, President Johnson expressed the hope that one day, public television and radio stations would satisfy “America’s appetite for excellence” and “enrich man’s spirit.”

That legislation created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which today supports nearly 1,500 public television and radio stations across the country by distributing federal funding amounting to roughly $1.35 per citizen, per year.

At Mountain Lake PBS, this investment is critical to our operations. We leverage federal funding many times over, along with continued financial support from our local communities, to provide a welcoming space for childhood education and lifelong learning, the arts and culture, history, science, and civil discourse in the Adirondack region, the Champlain Valley, Southern Quebec, and beyond.

From our weekly show Mountain Lake Journal shining a light on local stories that matter, to our free family events that connect media with handson learning for children, Mountain Lake PBS aims to inspire, enrich, and engage right here at home.

At a time when local news coverage is dramatically reduced, public media stations are expanding their journalism network, innovating in their storytelling and reaching audiences on platforms they prefer, anytime, anywhere.

Meanwhile, the much-beloved national programs that we have carried through years have educated, informed and inspired generations and strengthened our community, from Sesame Street and Curious George, to Masterpiece and PBS Newshour.

Public broadcasting was born during the height of the Vietnam War, which may explain our determination to find common ground on even the most difficult and divisive issues. Ken Burns’ and Lynn Novick’s most recent documentary series, The Vietnam War, is a prime example. Mountain Lake PBS has used the film as an opportunity to foster dialogue by helping our veterans and their families share their stories through our Veterans Coming Home series. For some, this is first time they’ve talked about their experience.

Despite the disruption and rapid changes shaping today’s media environment, public broadcasting’s mission is more necessary than ever.

Throughout our 40 year history, Mountain Lake PBS has been proud to support public broadcasting’s mission here in the North Country and throughout the many communities we serve on both sides of the border.

We look forward to continuing to inspire, enrich and engage lifelong learners, to serve as a reflection of what matters here at home, and to share the diverse experiences, insights and contributions of our audience for decades to come. ■ — Bill McColgan is the President & CEO of Mountain Lake PBS

Task forces lobby to raise tobacco purchase age to 21 Stakeholders hope momentum from school districts, local governments will propel initiative forward

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | An effort to raise the purchase age of tobacco products from 18 to 21 is gaining momentum within school districts across the Adirondack region.

“We’ve got about 16 school districts stating support in the past few weeks,” said Tom Tallon, a population health improvement program manager with Adirondack Health Institute, the agency spearheading the regional Tobacco 21 movement.

School districts in the six-county region who have supported the initiative include AuSable Valley Central, Franklin-Essex-Hamilton BOCES, L.P. Quinn Elementary in Tupper Lake, Minerva Central, Newcomb Central, Saranac Lake Central, Schroon Lake Central, Wells Central and Chazy Central Rural.

“We’re just really trying to engage schools,”

Tallon said.

The outreach to schools is part of a strategy to gain momentum for counties to pass local laws raising the age, paving the way for an eventual statewide law.

Health advocates believe raising the age will discourage tobacco companies from targeting young people during the 18- to 21-yearold window when many move from experimenting with tobacco to regular smoking.

Ninety-five percent of smokers begin before the age of 21, according to AHI. “Almost no one starts smoking after 24, so the cigarette companies have to convince adolescents to start before then if they are going to make money,” said Dr. David Beguin, a local pediatrician, in a statement. “Cigarette companies have been masters of marketing for a long time. But they have not been masters of health.”

Task forces in Clinton, Essex and Franklin are being spearheaded by county-run public health departments and are bolstered by health care providers, including Champlain Valley Health Network and Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

“We’re relying on local people to promote at the local level,” Tallon said.

Localities are also being asked sign onto the effort, with a crown jewel being counties, who can vote to raise the age of tobacco

sales within their jurisdictions.

The Essex County Board of Supervisors was briefed by Tallon in August, but has not taken any formal action.

The Essex County Health Department has sponsored a resolution to create a board subcommittee to advance Tobacco 21 initiatives, said Health Director Linda Beers, and a planning committee has identified key stakeholders to participate in monthly meetings.

“We are very optimistic that this task force will build support from the ground up and be able to move this legislation forward,” Beers said.

The status in Clinton County is identical.

“Public health officials here in Clinton County have brought the topic to the standing committee as a discussion item,” said Clinton County Administrator Mike Zurlo.

“But the Clinton County legislative body has taken no action on the issue.”

None of the six counties in the Adirondack region — which also includes Warren, Washington, Hamilton and Franklin — have brought Tobacco 21 to a vote, and stakeholders said they will wait to introduce resolutions until they feel as if they can garner enough support.

A proposed measure didn’t make it out of committee in Saratoga County, and a resolution was outright rejected by St. Lawrence County lawmakers in June, citing government overreach.

Local task forces across the region are working to generate support for the Tobacco 21 initiative.

‘That’s when we realized so much work needed to done educationally,” said Tallon.

To date, more than 200 municipalities in 14 states have passed local laws increasing the legal minimum sale age to 21 years, according to Clinton County Public Health.

New York City, Suffolk, Orange, Cortland, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Albany, Schenectady, Sullivan and Tompkins counties and the Town of North Hempstead have enacted Tobacco 21 legislation. ■

The Essex County Department of Public Works crew recently collaborated with the Essex County Health Department to celebrate Movember, or No Shave November. This movement encourages men to grow out their facial hair to raise awareness of men’s health issues and inspire men to get important screenings and to take charge of their mental health and physical well-being.

Champlain National Bank launches holiday donation drive Project We Care now underway across Clinton, Essex counties

ELIZABETHTOWN | Employees at Champlain National Bank are spearheading projects throughout Essex and Clinton counties to help make the holidays a little brighter for local families.

The Project We Care program at Champlain National Bank partners with local agencies throughout the region to help them collect toys, food, and other items, which are provided to people in need in our communities during the holidays.

In Westport, Plattsburgh (500 Route 3 location), and Champlain, Project We Care is working in partnership with area schools to provide gifts for children and families who another social service agency might not reach, and who might not have much under their Christmas tree.

We are looking for people who would be willing to help us by adopting a child. To help, please visit any of these branches, where you will find a Christmas tree full of tags, with each tag listing a local child’s wish and need for this Christmas.

These gifts do need to be returned wrapped with the tag attached by Dec. 13. Please call 983-3316 or 561-6000 *r ,..

for more information.

The Elizabethtown branch is collecting toys for ACAP’s Holidays Are For Sharing program, which provides parents with new toys to give to their children on Christmas Day. New, unwrapped toys can be dropped off to our Elizabethtown branch and the staff there will make sure it gets to a child who might not receive a gift otherwise. The phone number in Elizabethtown is 873-6347 if you need more information.

In Keene, they are collecting food for the Keene Food Pantry, which sees an increased need during the holiday season. Please drop off non-perishable food items during the month of December and we’ll make sure they are delivered to the Keene Food Pantry in time for the holidays.

They are also participating in the community collaboration between St. Brendan’s Church, the Keene Valley Congregational Church, and the Neighborhood House to collect gifts for local children. To help, stop by the branch and take an angel or mitten tag listing a gift for a child in Keene. Return the item either wrapped or unwrapped with the tag attached.

You can call 576-9515 for more information.

The Willsboro branch is focusing on helping senior citizens in the community this holiday season.

They are collecting food, which will be made into food gift baskets, and warm clothing to be donated to local seniors who may need a little help this holiday season and winter.

To help, drop off any holiday meal food item or gently used adult winter clothing, like coats, hats, gloves, scarves to the Willsboro branch.

You can call 963-4201 for more information.

In Lake Placid and Saranac Lake they are collecting toys, which will be given to Families First to distribute. Tags listing a local child’s Christmas gift wish will be located in those two branches. Please return the unwrapped gift to either Lake Placid or Saranac Lake by Dec. 13. If you need more details about the program, you can call 523-7070.

“Our communities are extremely generous during the holidays, providing to those who are less fortunate,” Director of Marketing Jackie Hallock said. “As the local bank, we look for opportunities where we can make

a difference right here. It’s important to us that we can keep everything donated here, where the need is great.” ■

Stefanik featured as Fox News Sunday ‘Power Player’ Lawmaker given national platform

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WASHINGTON, D.C. | Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) has been named Fox News Sunday’s “Power Player of the Week.”

The program aired nationwide on Sunday.

Fox News Host Chris Wallace hailed the lawmaker as a Millennial maverick.

“At the end of a dispiriting few days in American politics, the story of a rising star in the GOP bringing new ideas and leadership to Congress,” the narrator intoned during a preview.

The four-minute segment contained the bullet points of Stefanik’s bio and her journey to be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress in 2014 at the age of 30.

“I got a lot of pushback initially,” Stefanik told Wallace. “Very few people took me seriously. (House Speaker) Paul Ryan was actually one of the individuals that encouraged me and gave me great advice.”

“You have two ears and one mouth. Use it in that ratio. Listen to what voters concerns are,” Stefanik recalled Ryan as saying.

Stefanik served as Ryan’s debate coach during his 2012 vice presidential bid, and the two continue to have a close relationship.

While the segment contained few new revelations for close observers of North Country politics, the segment hit upon familiar touchstones for a national audience, including her social media presence and recent legislative efforts, including the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s auto-enrollment mandate signed by President Obama, as well as Fort Drum-related issues.

The National Defense Authorization Act, which was passed by the House earlier this month, also contains a number of Stefanik-

penned provisions.

Wallace noted Stefanik turned down an appearance on the program two years ago.

“I wasn’t scared,” she said. “I wanted to get some accomplishments under my belt. I wanted to make sure my first impression to my colleagues is that I am a workhorse, I invest myself in learning about the policy issues, and I add substantive ideas to the discussion.”

Wallace called her a “maverick,” citing the lawmaker’s vote against the GOP tax bill last week and efforts to get Republicans to make combatting climate change a priority.

Stefanik still said she has “pinch-me moments” whenever she enters the U.S. Capitol, and gets mistaken for a visitor at least once a month due to her age.

“If I wasn’t wearing my pin, there would have been many votes I would have missed,” said Stefanik, a member of the House Intelligence and Armed Services Committees.

Stefanik said in 2014, if elected, she would only serve five terms.

While she didn’t mention the pledge in the interview, she admitted she “won’t be there forever.”

“I do think institutionally, Congress benefits from having a churn of new members and new ideas, so I don’t see myself being here for 25-30 years,” she said.

“But maybe 15 or 20?” Wallace asked.

“I don’t know,” Stefanik laughed. “I’m thinking an every two years cycle. I need to go out there and make sure that I continue to earn the support from my constituents.”

The lawmaker is up for re-election next year, and a growing field of Democratic candidates are vying for the nomination.

The segment does not mention the controversial debate that saw Republicans unsuccessfully try to repeal President Obama’s signature health care law numerous times over the past year.

Wallace said he discussed sexual harass-

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) was profiled on Fox News Sunday as the “Power Player of the Week” on Sunday, Nov. 19.

Photo provided ment in Congress with the lawmaker, but that exchange wasn’t included on camera.

Stefanik said while she hasn’t experienced harassment personally, she supports mandatory harassment training for members of Congress and their staffs.

Revelations of abuse in the political, media and fashion industries have been trickling out for weeks.

Earlier this month, 1,500 former Capitol Hill aides signed an open letter to House and Senate leaders asking Congress to institute harassment training programs.

The lawmaker also discussed her use of social media in an effort to be transparent with constituents, including posting each vote with a description detailing how and why she voted.

Stefanik posted the clip to her Facebook page.

By Sunday night, it garnered 4,700 views and 50 comments.

A member of her campaign team called the segment a “big deal” given the show doesn’t usually profile sitting elected officials for the title.

“It underscores how Elise is putting the district on the national forefront,” said Lenny Alcivar ■

proud of them.

Her daughter will miss most the short and long talks, life lessons, quirky sense of humor and being taught to rely on Jehovah. She inspired independence, but reined back when she needed to be tough. It meant a lot when she always believed in your dreams and was proud of your potentials. She trusted in her daughter and was proud of her. She leaves behind her legacy of some recipe cards of how to make some really good meals (including homemade donuts). She also leaves behind a living legacy to the sound of her music, as we can only attempt to be like this “leader of the band.” Although her eyes grew tired, her music runs through our souls, as we can listen over and over to the tapes and CDs she left behind.

In her last years she was as sharp as a whip challenging anyone to a game of “words with friends” and learning how to master her tablet and computer. She also was very social, religious, and made sure her family was taken care of. Her grandchildren never wanted for anything. She was bold and independent, as well as humble and meek. She stood strongly for her beliefs and principles.

In her final hours she continued to be a parent and a grandma. She told her family what to do in an emergency, how to keep safe, how we should treat each other, and most importantly to love. We all promised to do just so in honor of her requests. Most importantly she got to say goodbye and was comforted knowing that we would be okay, as that is what we promised her. We promised that in time we would laugh, smile, continue on with life full of zeal and energy, and continue to serve Jehovah.

In the spring we will plant a tree, and put hand painted rocks each year at this time to remember and honor her.

We will all greatly miss her smile and positive “can do” attitude. We will see you soon in the resurrection.

It’s like you are just sleeping mom and we will be there when you get up.

Public services will be held on Dec. 2, 2017 at 1 p.m. at the Ausable Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1651 NY-9N, Clintonville. Immediately following will be a gathering for friends and family at the VFW at 1309 U.S. Route 9, Keeseville. Donations can be made to the family. ■

grandchildren Timothy Dalton Quaid, Taylor Dakota Quaid, and Toby Daniels Quaid. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews and good friends.

Polly was well known for her county music band that she led for well over 20 years. At the time she was the “leader,” females generally didn’t have such a responsibility, or privilege, as she called it. The name of the band was “Polly and the Country Aces.” She played guitar and sang lead vocals. Her favorite song to sing was “Coal Miner’s Daughter” by Loretta Lynn. She also worked hard for Locknectics Security and Engineering, Bussmann Manufacturing, and a few other places throughout the years.

“Many moons ago” she loved when she had the opportunity to work alongside with her husband. They owned a small fruit and vegetable store in Saranac Lake that delivered fresh supplies and sold to the locals. This was one of her favorite places to be.

Polly loved people and would help anyone in any way that she could. After her husband passed in Bristol, Connecticut, she told everyone that it was time for her to move back home. She had his ashes sprinkled on his favorite hunting mountain in rural upper New York state, and she had a new home put on the old Lewis farmland. There she would find peace and happiness as she planted pink peonies, fed the birds, visited with friends and family, and waited for her grandchildren.

Polly loved serving her God Jehovah and hopes to again see her loved ones in the resurrection. She believes in Revelation 21:3-4 where it says: “death will be no more.”

She will be severely missed by her family and friends, but mostly by her daughter and grandchildren.

Her grandson Timothy will miss her for their long talks, and her patient understanding. She helped him through many trial and errors, as well as was proud of him for his accomplishments and goodness. She knew he would always try to do the right thing and loved him unconditionally.

The twins Taylor and Toby will miss ravaging Grandma’s room for goodies. She always had a treat for them.

She prayed with them, she helped them get dressed, she held them close, she gave them lots of love. She was also

Adirondack Foundation announces $37K to support seniors Grants awarded for quality of life organizations

LAKE PLACID | Adirondack Foundation’s Generous Acts Fund (GAF) has awarded $37,600 in grants to organizations supporting quality of life for elders across the region.

“Approximately 10 million people age 65 and older live in rural America today and one out of four older Americans live in a small town,” said Cali Brooks, president and CEO of Adirondack Foundation. “Those trends match what we’re seeing here in the Adirondacks. We have made support for the aging population a priority because there are innovative, creative institutions and programs here supporting our neighbors.”

Eleven organizations serving older adults across six counties received GAF grants in 2017.

This fall, an additional grant was awarded to support educational forums hosted by Mercy Care for the Adirondacks on Nov. 9 at Paul Smith’s College and featuring Dr. John Feather, CEO of Grantmakers in Aging, and Greg Olsen, acting director of the New York state Office for the Aging.

“Too often we focus only on the needs of elders, but we also need to highlight the intellectual, social, and economic capital elders bring to our rural communities,” said Donna Beal, executive director of Mercy Care. “Our goal for these

forums is to broaden the conversation beyond the aging services network to include the whole community.”

Mercy Care received additional GAF support this year to continue growing programs that help elders in Essex and Franklin counties age in their homes more successfully and empower communities to become more aging-friendly. In Clinton County, a GAF grant is helping Catholic Charities replicate Mercy Care’s Community Friendship Volunteer Program, which connects volunteers with elders living in their homes.

Elizabethtown Community Hospital received a GAF grant to help emergency providers obtain Geriatric EMS (GEMS) certification.

“Current EMS education gives our technicians little exposure to information on medical and traumatic emergencies for the elderly,” said John Remillard, president of Elizabethtown Community Hospital. “The trainings give our providers the tools they need to provide excellent and comprehensive care for older patients.”

Additional grants supporting quality of life for elders were awarded to High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care; Creative Healing Connections; Lake Placid-North Elba Historical Society, in partnership with Historic Saranac Lake and the Lake Placid Olympic Museum; North Creek Railway Depot Preservation Association; PRIDE of Ticonderoga; Town of Harrietstown; Adirondack Folk School and Family YMCA of the Glens Falls Area.

“Increasing the power of giving together is what the Generous Acts Fund is all about,” Brooks said. “Thanks to our donors, we’ve awarded $100,000 in grants to more than 20 organizations this year. The support from our communities in growing this fund to $1 million and beyond means we’ll be able to continue this grantmaking forever.”

To make a gift to the GAF, visit adirondackfoundation. org/generousactsfund or contact Melissa Eisinger at mel@ adkfoundation.org. ■

SARANAC LAKE | The Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST), in cooperation with the greater Saranac Lake community, is amidst a branding study and is looking for stakeholders, residents, and visitors to complete an online branding survey.

that increases awareness of the community for both tourism and sustainable economic development when adopted and integrated consistently. It reflects the customer’s impression of a product, destination, or organization.

“There have been multiple tag lines and logos for Saranac Lake over the years, which is confusing and dilutes our position in the market place,” said Brunette. “We want to put in the time and effort to identify one cohesive message that resonates with the community and visitors, and that will represent the area as a great place to visit, live and do business.”

survey. It contains questions that will help find out how the region is perceived by residents and visitors. Information about the survey is being mailed to residents of the Saranac Lake region and is also being distributed via social media and by email to visitors and to those who are familiar with region, but have never visited.

It is estimated to take 10-15 minutes to complete. Respondents are asked about their travel habits and their interest levels in winter carnivals, health and wellness activities, boating and paddling, the arts, and more. ROOST will compile the results and identify common threads and themes that will be presented at a public meeting where participation will be

encouraged. The next step will be message development and brand identification.

Respondents are eligible to win a an iPad mini 4, a $100 Visa gift card, Adirondack chairs or lift tickets to Whiteface Mountain.

The survey can be found at saranaclake. com/survey.

“The brand isn’t always what we locals think it is, but it’s also very important to get input from local individuals and businesses as well,” said ROOST CEO James McKenna. “It’s important to reach out to visitors and others outside the Saranac Lake region to figure out how we’re perceived and how to appropriately brand it.” ■
