In election’s wake, region grapples with racial incidents

Round three

Visions of youth, elders clash in third Adirondack Park Agency public hearing on recreational use NEWCOMB — Scott Remington nearly died in a logging accident on Gulf Brook Road.

On May 25, 1999, the lifelong Adirondack resident broke his neck, back and all but three ribs.

Pete Now in a wheelchair, Remington reDeMola Editor mains an avid outdoorsman, and even enjoys heading back to the site of the accident, located within the Boreas Pond Tract, the parcel pending classification by the Adirondack Park Agency.

But his future access to the site, once owned by a timber company, now remains in the hands of the state, which is weighing a number of proposals that will govern access to the 20,543-acre parcel.

The discussion unfolded in the literal and figurative heart of the debate last week in Newcomb, just a few miles from the site, which the state purchased in May for $14.5 million.

While nearly 100 parcels are pending classification, the Boreas Tract dominated discussion at the Nov. 16 public hearing, the third in a series of eight planned sessions across the state held at Newcomb Central School.

Additionally, Northwood on Main is planning a fullyequipped apartment, which Maher said in announcing the facility would allowing provide “residencies to experts in different fields, who would work with our students, faculty and the community.”

Northwood is a private boarding school founded in 1905.

It has about 165 high school students. Tuition with room and board is $55,640 for the current school year. Day student costs are reported online at $32,600.

The main campus occupies four or five buildings on Northwood Road.

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh City Council has condemned the wave of racial incidents that have reportedly rippled across the country in the wake of the presidential election.

“There’s been some things that have gone on around the nation that are, that I think are deplorable,” said Plattsburgh Mayor James Calnon at last week’s meeting. “I really didn’t expect to find any type of event like that at home.”

Calnon didn’t mention president-elect Donald Trump directly — nor a specific incident.

But the mayor appeared to allude to a series of experiences that a local restaurateur, an ethnic Tibetan, shared on Facebook.

In a post dated Nov. 11, Tenzin Dorjee cited a number of racially tinged incidents he said have left he and his family shaken.

‘WE ARE THE FUTURE’ Fifty-one people spoke over a three-hour stretch.

While the comments largely followed the familiar contours sharpened over decades of discussions — the state’s legal responsibility for environmental stewardship weighed against access and economic development — a new element has cleaved the discussion along generational fault lines.

Young people lobbied during the public hearing for the most stringent environmental safeguards.

Protecting vulnerable lands are why they are choosing to relocate to the Adirondack Park, they said, reversing longentrenched demographic trends that have seen young people fleeing the region.

But, said their older counterparts, more access is needed for an aging population, including sportsmen, who are chief

Lawmakers OK Five Towns marketing hub ROOST to create strategy for marketing Five Town region in central Adirondacks

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County lawmakers have tentatively approved the creation of a marketing region for a cluster of central Adirondack towns collectively known as the Five Towns.

The project, still in its conceptual stages, would bind together Minerva, Newcomb and North Hudson in Essex County, and Indian Lake and Long Lake in Hamilton County.

Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism CEO James McKenna pitched the idea to lawmakers last week, citing discussions with several business owners in Newcomb.

Efforts would likely tie into those currently underway in Hamilton County, McKenna said, and will not impact the county budget.

“I’m not looking for any additional money from Essex County,” said McKenna.

Ron Moore (R-North Hudson) said he liked the concept of an Upper Hudson Recreation Hub, but much of the details underpinning future use of those lands is riding on the classification of the Boreas Pond Tract, the parcel purchased by the state earlier this year.

The Adirondack Park Agency is currently holding public hearings across the state to glean public input before the state Department of Conservation determines a recreational us-

age plan for the property, primarily located in Newcomb and North Hudson.

“That’s the final link that would link these communities together,” Moore said.

The conceptual project joins other efforts underway to link the communities, including a state-sponsored multi-use recreational trail.

Steve McNally (D-Minerva) said after the meeting that those efforts have been underway for years.

“We’re going to try to make our five towns a destination,” he said.

In Minerva, horseback riding elements will be key, he said.

A town-owned campsite is being outfitted to be more equestrian-friendly.

“People will come in the summer,” McNally said. “It’s a nice place to stay, camp and use as a base camp.”

Wes Miga (R-Newcomb) said diversity is important, and each community will ideally bring different offerings to the table, from mountain bike riding to snowmobiling.

“If we’re all providing the same stuff, we’re not providing differentiation,” Miga said.

Increased recreational offerings has the opportunity to bring millions in tourist dollars to the communities, he said.

Randy Preston (I-Wilmington), the county’s representative for the land use discussions, said he liked the concept.

“I think this is a great idea, and hopefully there’s more things in the future that’s going to tie everyone together,” he said.

The resolution unanimously passed the Economic Devel-

opment Committee.

If formally approved by the full board next month, the region would join others promoted by ROOST, including the High Peaks, Malone and Lake Champlain.

Each have tailored web properties and destination marketing plans, or detailed visions for how the regions are marketed to both domestic and international visitors.

State’s youth obesity rate decreasing, report says Obesity rate among kids from low-income families dropped nearly 2 points since 2010, says CDC WASHINGTON, D.C. — New York’s obesity rate among young children from low-income families decreased from 16.1 percent in

2010 to 14.3 percent in 2014, according to a study published last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S. Department of Agriculture.

New York’s rate is 26th highest.

Overall, obesity showed a statistically significant decrease in 31 states and three territories and increased significantly in four states (Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio and West Virginia) among 2-to-4-year-olds enrolled in the Special Supplemental Nutrition

Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) from 2010 to 2014.

Officials said they were heartened by the decline.

“This data is encouraging because kids from lower-income families are especially vulnerable and often face higher risk for obesity,” said Donald F. Schwarz, MD, of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. “We must continue to track and analyze child obesity and the programs that aim to reduce rates, especially among our nation’s youngest kids.

“This is critical for informing efforts to ad-

dress disparities and ensuring that all children—no matter who they are or where they live—have a healthy start from their very first days.”

‘Makerspace’ event brought together makers, hackers, DIYers Nearly 70 North Country residents gather to explore shared space opportunities

SARANAC LAKE — If you’ve never heard of a makerspace, or you’re not sure what one is, you are not alone.

These shared creative spaces are cropping up all over the country and have gained much attention in business, political and research circles.

On Nov. 9, nearly 70 local makers, business owners, and

educators gathered at Saranac Lake’s Pendragon Theatre to explore the region’s active “culture of making” and how it can be further cultivated in North Country communities.

“We wanted to approach this meeting in the same collaborative spirit that leads to successful makerspaces,” said Jacob Vennie-Vollrath, of the Adirondack North Country Association, the event’s sponsor. “There are many existing and budding makerspaces right here in the North Country. Provide an open space with the right tools for creative, energetic minds to interact, and innovation will happen.”

Meeting participants were able to “bring their energy and creativity to the table in breakout discussions that dug more deeply into their diverse interests and experiences,” organizers say. Discussion groups explored how makerspaces play a role in local economic development and education and how existing and aspiring makers can utilize regional makerspace networks and public spaces such as libraries.

Boreas

From page 1 drivers of local economies.

Over a dozen Millennials spoke on Wednesday, many from SUNY Plattsburgh. They wore green t-shirts distributed at the beginning of the session by a coalition of green groups, known collectively as BeWildNY. The APA has proposed four alternatives which include a combination of Wilderness, Wild Forest and state administrative classifications.

The students rejected all four, instead calling for a full Wilderness protection, a proposal offered by Adirondack Wilderness Advocates, a green group that sprouted earlier this year following the state’s purchase of the tract by the Nature Conservancy.

“This is about if we want to make this a theme park, or a wilderness habitat for future generations,” said Justin Ramos.

While their statements contained their fair share of starryeyed idealism — at least one student spoke of the Adirondack Park as a refuge from “capitalist society” — they also raised more practical concerns geared toward community survival.

It is they, for instance, who are repopulating a region where young people have been leaving for decades, hollowing out the tax base and leaving schools gasping for breath.

The prime draw, they said, is Wilderness.

“We’re talking about the rarest habitat we have left,” said Tyler Socash, citing the Class 1 designation of the parcel’s wetlands, the highest protection offered by the state.

That solitude offers a “psychological intangible,” he said.

Tyler’s mother, Pamela, said this was a chief reason why she and her husband relocated to Old Forge 26 years ago to raise their family.

But the proposals offered by the APA would threaten this habitat, Socash said, which has been flagged by experts as containing a diverse spread of rare plants and wildlife species.

Paired with other ecological features, the site is frequently referred to as a “crown jewel.”

If these communities want to see any type of sustainable future, students said, then they must listen to the young people who are relocating here.

“I moved back to the Adirondacks because the Wilderness is here,” said Samantha Brooks.

So did Lindsay Moats, a Florida native who moved to Saranac Lake by way of Washington, D.C. “I believe I am the future of the Adirondacks,” Moats said.

Tom Collins said he understands the concerns of local economies, having grown up in the Tug Hill Plateau, which is heavily reliant on snowmobiling.

But the SUNY Plattsburgh student said the infrastructure wasn’t in place in Newcomb to support snowmobilers, including gas stations and restaurants.

‘ACCESS IS KEY’ Access the Adirondacks, a coalition of local government officials and sportsmen, largely favor Alternative 1, which would grant more Wild Forest classification.

That designation would allow for the increased recreational uses that will bolster the economy and ensure access to all user groups, including the disabled and aging sportsmen.

The group also opposes any land use classification that disallows access to all, and that facilitates a diverse spread of recreational activities, including snowmobiling, dog sledding, horseback riding and bicycling.

“Access is the key to how we’re going to make these lands productive for the town of Newcomb,” said Wes Miga, the town’s supervisor.

The parcel is also dotted with non-conforming structures, including dams, roads and bridges, making it, by its very definition, not Wilderness, claims Access.

That infrastructure will aid recreation, and is also key for aiding emergency response efforts.

A chief sticking point in the debate is how much of the seven-mile Gulf Brook Road leading into the tract should be kept open.

Under Access’ preferred alternative, the road would be kept open all the way to the ponds.

But advocates for the most stringent classification want the entire road to be closed. Visitors would then have to make the seven-mile hike to access the ponds that form the centerpiece.

“Access is the number one threat to the sporting community,” said Jason Kemper, chairman of the New York State Conservation Fund Advisory Board.

Kemper said he takes offense to the argument access is detrimental to the environment, and degradation of lands has nothing to do with the sporting community.

“You don’t see a bunch of hunters meet up and go sit together in the middle of the woods,” he said.

Fishing and hunting are critical to the local economy, he said, creating annual expenditures of about $5 billion, according to a state comptroller’s report.

License sales generate $42 million in revenue, he said, and federal programs that allocate revenues to the states for wildlife programs have provided an average of more than $24 >> CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

million a year for New York since 2011.

But the average age of license-holders is nearly 49.

Remington, the former logger, said the road is still in good shape, and should remain open.

“I’ve seen people struggle with mobility,” he said. “I challenge someone to take my wheelchair, and we’ll go up next week, and you can do it.

“It’s time for the state to do the right thing and make it accessible to all,” he said. “I’d consider it discrimination if all these roads were closed.”

A seven-mile hike is too much even for the able-bodied, said Jerry Delaney, Deputy Director of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board.

Delaney twice attempted to walk into the tract, but was prevented by a physical ailment.

“The seven miles is just too much,” he said.

‘IT’S ABOUT MANAGEMENT’ The groups also differ over economic development.

BeWildNY is armed with an Adirondack Council-commissioned study from Clarkson University that revealed property values increase in proximity to Wilderness.

The generation of a new southern access point to the High Peaks would create a thriving economy not unlike Keene, they argue.

But Access disputes those findings, arguing that property values are a poor indicator of a community’s economic health, and says localities should have the control to craft their own futures — including limited use of snowmobiling in select areas, which would aid the winter economy.

A multi-use trail between five central Adirondack communities would also aid in development, believes the group, including former Newcomb Supervisor George Canon, who called the project a “long-time dream” he has fostered over his decades of public service.

“We’re talking about balance,” said North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore, who said the plan supported by Access is actually a compromise solution because it does not call for full Wild Forest, and contains a split with Wilderness.

“A Wilderness classification does not allow for that balance,” Moore said.

Moore added a Wild Forest designation does not mean those parcels will be open to all forms of recreation.

Uses will be designated by the state Department of Conservation in the Unit Management Plan, said Brian Towers, President of the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages.

That oversight contains environmental safeguards, he said.

“It’s really not about classification,” said Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber. “It is about the management.”

But Neil Woodworth, President of the Adirondack Mountain Club, disagreed, arguing Wild Forest would lead to a

slippery slope in future land use discussions.

“We believe there should have been more alternatives that more clearly reflected different dreams of Boreas Ponds properties,” Woodworth said.

Full Wilderness advocates also shot down arguments of the permanence of the structures, saying there are already signs that nature is reclaiming them, and that much of the now-protected areas of the Adirondack Park were once shaped by man.

Road networks may also act as gateways to invasive species, they claim.

“It deserves a better level of protection,” said Ari Epstein, a Schenectady resident who called roads “reckless and irresponsible.”

Roger Jetty, a longtime Adirondack guide who now lives in Salt Lake City disagreed.

“This is Wild Forest — this is not Wilderness,” he said. “If you want this to be Wilderness, consider blowing those dams off the bat. These are not natural lakes.”

Pete Nelson, co-founder of Adirondack Wilderness Advocates, called the debate “myopic” and said engaging in the same tired retreads was a disservice to both the land and the people who live there.

“I think it’s a foolish debate — it’s a waste of our time,” Nelson said.

“I’m going to advocate for local communities — local communities do not think so.”

Nelson urged the crowd to look past conventional ways of thinking, and explore new possibilities of economic development — like the possible inclusion of Frontier Town into broader efforts.

“Wilderness is the economic hope for local communities,” he said.

‘HEAR US OUT’ AWA co-founder Brendan Wiltse said he hoped local officials would hear the young people out, and not alienate them.

Wiltse condemned a Facebook post allegedly written by a public official that referred to the students as “uneducated brats.”

“I hope the local government will not attack the very demographic that is moving into their communities,” Wiltse said.

Local officials and older attendees said they understood the concerns of the younger generation, but reminded them that their communities continue to struggle for survival.

“I’m not happy with your wardrobe choice, but I’m really happy that you’re here,” said Brian Wells, supervisor of Indian Lake.

“See how we’re struggling to stay afloat,” he said, inviting them to his town, and asking to consider how a Wilderness classification would impact the remote Hamilton County community.

Older speakers also asked the students to temper their idealism with their seasoned advice and experience.

Mike Prescott used to paddle all over the Adirondacks with a pal, who was delighted when the Essex Chain was opened to the public.

But the friend was on oxygen and needed assistance. He never made it in because of access issues.

“He passed away before that could happen, and it’s just a very sad situation,” Prescott said.

To the crowd: “But you’re all going to get older, he said.

“Believe me.”

Walt Rushby, 78, said due to replanting efforts by Finch Pruyn, the land actually contains more trees than it likely would have without human interference.

Rushby, a former Moriah supervisor, has been hunting the tract for 30 years through a lease agreement, and once had a camp on Sand Pond Road.

Years ago, he took his mother to Elk Lake. She was 80.

“If you guys had your way, my mother would not have had the opportunity to do that,” Rushby said. “I would like to see the Boreas Ponds, and I’m going to try to be there.”

Due to increased attendance by the general public, the locations for the hearings in Rochester and Canton have been moved to larger venues.

“The APA is very encouraged by the outstanding public participation we have had at the first three hearings on the 2016-2017 State Land Classification Package,” said APA Chairman Sherman Craig. “The comments we are receiving are very informative. The respectful and civil manner in which people of divergent views are conducting themselves is truly inspirational.”

A fourth session was held in Schroon on Monday, Nov. 21, after this edition went to print.

OPINION

Take a breath

e’ve seen new levels of passion in the country and around the world as a result of the most recent election campaign.

Now that the campaigning is over and we’ve got a President-elect, neither side seems to have moved out of campaign mode, nor has the media or political pundits.

The conventional thinking throughout the campaign was that this Trump guy would go away sooner or later, Mrs. Clinton would rule the day and life would get back to the new normal for the U.S. and the rest of world. Far too many had accepted the status-quo; it was comfortable and predictable.

But just when the plan was about to fall into place, the American public voted and we got an unexpected, Wednesday morning surprise.

Shock, anger, jubilation, crying, laughter, relief, terror, fear, relief and every possible emotion you can think of suddenly went into maximum overdrive.

David defeats Goliath. Aliens land on earth. The sun didn’t rise in the sky. Name your headline but no matter what you choose, could anything be more unsettling and unpredictable than “Trump wins the presidency?”

Well, take a deep breath. Aliens did not land. The sun did in fact rise Wednesday morning and everyday since. In time we will all come to understand what this presidency will mean for our country and how it will affect our lives and those we love.

President Obama recently spoke about all the fake election news that’s been distributed through the Internet and on social channels, that in most cases were created to produced “click throughs” for financial gain by foreign enterprises, and the affects it could have had on those who accept it as the truth.

Whatever the case may be, we’ve got to understand and accept the fact the political rhetoric, campaign speak and spin should never be confused with actual facts.

When it’s time to compete, best of friends will do whatever it takes to win, but when the competition ends, it’s time for handshakes and hugs. We don’t need referees or umpires. The competition is over.

We all need to step back from the ledge, take a deep breath and allow Mr. Trump and his team a little time to collect their thoughts and transition from campaigning to governing. It’s how our democracy works.

Destroying property, chanting “Not my President,” beating up fellowcitizenswhomaydisagreewith you and refusing to accept what will be, serves no one’s interests.

There’s work to be done and plenty of time to reject and protest what Mr. Trump will do, if you disagree, but first let’s wait and see exactly what his final plans are. Only then can you make an educated decision based on known facts, assuming you take the time to seek out the true facts.

Change is inevitable and totally unpredictable. And that is the only thing we really know about the future.

Giving can be good for the soul W ith the holiday season now upon us, we’d like to shine a light on something called Giving Tuesday.

The national incentive, founded in 2012, is designed to highlight charitable efforts during the holidays, and is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving.

This year, it falls on Tuesday, Nov. 29, just after the litany of other events that have popped up in recent years, including Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.

National organizers have created an online directory to help folks find organizations, charities, people and events to which they would like to donate.

Some even have fundraising challenges.

We took a quick spin through the list, and there are a number of organizations across the region worthy of your attention, from youth centers to nonprofits promoting the arts.

Of course, there are many more unlisted local organizations that are not included in the initiative that are also worth your contributions.

You’re probably already aware of them.

We encourage you to set aside some time on Tuesday to engage in an act of selfless kindness — a donation, a pleasant word offered to a stranger, an hour of your time.

If none of those are possible, we suggest a quiet moment of self-reflection.

There is more to our plea than perfunctory positivity.

A 2013 study reveals giving actually has a physiological effect, releasing endorphins that offer a sense of tranquility, serenity and inner peace.

Additional studies link selfless action to stress reduction.

And still others, including recent research by a Cornell University professor, suggest the link between action and happiness is stronger than that of more traditional gift-giving because we identify more with experiences than objects.

All of that sounds pretty good right about now considering the ongoing national discussion, which remains uneasy and tense.

The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau and Pete DeMola. We want to hear from you. Drop us a line on our Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter, to share your thoughts.

Parent: I turned my back for a reason UnitedÊ WayÊ seasonÊ nowÊ underway To the Editor: In response to Ms. Hubert and Ms. Martin: It is too bad that you think turning my back on Ms. Seaman was rude — I could not swallow what she was dishing out any longer, so I turned my back to her.

A lot of others thought it was a great thing to do.

I felt it wrong that when Sen. Betty Little, Assemblyman Dan Stec and the other politicians had finished speaking, they got up and walked out. It would seem you were only concerned with my back — not theirs!

When the town board took away the voters’ right (to vote on the assessors issue) in a sense, turning their backs on them, I thought that showed a huge disrespect to the residents of Thurman, by the board. It would seem it all depends on which side of the aisle one is sitting.

Ms. Martin, I have found we have something we can agree on. You said, “the board researches the issues they discuss.” My question was and still is, “Where and when do these conversations occur?”

Everyone can see that this does not happen at public board meetings!

Some on this board have shown they feel the voters have no right to question them! By discontinuing freedom of the floor, they have insulted the people of this town, to which the people have spoken with there votes!

Some people want to speak at public meetings, some may rather seek out board members in a more private setting. Personally, I chose to speak in front of the public, not in the shadows!

If this board were truly working for all the people of this town, they would be listening to everyone that wanted to speak to them, not just to a few select individuals!

To the Editor: I represent the United Way Campaign team for the Adirondack Region.

United Way funds 44 different agencies in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. I co-lead one of these agencies: the Champlain Valley Chapter of the Compassionate Friends. This is a self help bereavement support group for families who have had children, grandchildren or a sibling die. This is run by volunteers only. With the funds from United Way we can send out newsletters, run meetings, host a memorial walk and candle lighting ceremony, and also do other fun events for our members.

The United Way campaign is in full swing this holiday season, and with everyone hustling around to make sure we check everyone off our holiday lists, I would like for you to consider giving a gift in honor or memory of a loved one to this year’s United Way Campaign. holiday shopping is exhausting, so why not save some time and drop off a donation to the United Way office on the Tom Miller Road in Plattsburgh.

There are always gifts to purchase for those hard-to-buy-for people on our lists. Why not give a gift that will keep on giving? One gift will help 44 partner agencies.

If you have already done your shopping for this season, think about other times of the year when you are invited to anniversary and birthday parties, retirement parties and you just don’t know what to get. A gift to the United Way will take the guessing out of what to get them. Imagine how proud the honoree would feel opening a card with a message inside saying where the gift went in their name.

Times are challenging in our world today. Please help our neighbors and together we will reach our goal. Last year alone, our 44 partner agencies helped over 80,000 individuals collectively.

lETTERS TO THE EDiTOR

Election Day entourage inappropriate and intimidating To the Editor: On Nov. 8, I voted in Willsboro. When I arrived to vote I was surprised by the number of people standing outside of the polls along both sides of the entry. As I walked into the poll, I noticed a few elected Willsboro officials standing outside along with the rest of the bystanders.

I entered and voted and upon asking the reason for the people outside, I was informed Elise Stefanik was arriving shortly to vote. As I exited the polls, she did arrive with her entourage, and all the elected officials and bystanders surrounded her and offered her their encouragement.

The elected officials, regardless of their party, are elected to represent to residents of Willsboro.

To be standing outside an election area awaiting a partisan politician, I find inappropriate and a little intimidating. Years ago, voting was considered a private matter and in some small circles it was even considered inappropriate to vote for oneself.

I would like to be able to walk into my government offices believing regardless of ones political affiliation you would be treated fairly. The living up of elected officials to shepherd a politician into a polling booth does not enhance that feeling.

Reginald Bedell Willsboro

Disappointed in political commentary To the Editor: I have read and listened to so many say they are disappointed, afraid and upset about the outcome of the election. I have to agree.

The commentary “A millennial’s perspective” in the Nov. 19 edition made me wonder why the author felt many of her generation were raised by two Democrats. I don’t see the importance, or the fact basis. She also spoke to first time engagement into politics this cycle and the thought that the youth of today are not ignorant.

I welcome your youth, your intelligence and your enthusiasm, but you should know that many disappointments may arise in your political lifetime.

I also politely remind you that the estimated 75.4 million millennials need to realize that there are 248.8 million baby boomers, Gen. X, silent and Greatest Generation individuals that have experienced more than your “first time” pain.

We are still around.

We are upset at times also, but voicing our opinions and voting as well. It is not just about your generation.

I guess a major disappointment is with the “demonstrators” parents, the professors, the teachers, editorials, the columns, the “lame duck” president, the woman who lost and the Bernie that quit.

All of those mentioned demanded Trump stop the “riots” during the campaign. Those same people never called them demonstrations.

Where are you now?

The president, while in Germany, told them to keep it up! Shameful!

Your editorial of Nov. 19 stated: “No, they’re not rioting.”

What do you call it when they smash all the car windows at an auto dealership, light fires and smash store front windows?

Did they know the owners were Trump voters?

You also wrote: “They’re not un-American, and most we assume, are very nice people.”

I am disappointed that no one mentions the loss of property and monetary loss to the innocent Muslim, gay, white or black business owners credited to the “nice American demonstrators.”

Many interviewed claimed to be undocumented, illegals who feared deportation. Those caught smashing private property were students who skipped class, just to skip class and “thrill seekers” who wanted to be “in the moment” with those who got off the bus loads paid to “demonstrate.”

Those nice people blocked innocent people from going to work or getting to a hospital.

One person died in an ambulance not being able to move. Many rioters were ineligible to vote due to citizenship, or age so I blame the parents for not responding and the educators that did not fail them for not attending class.

I blame the media for the encouragement and continued coverage of the violence.

These have not been peaceful demonstrations for the most part.

These same people that want respect and want to be heard need to earn this deplorable, uneducated white male redneck’s respect and if you don’t want the label, I was given, get off the streets and back to class.

Perhaps if those who are so quick to go to the streets did it peacefully without damaging property and without infringing upon ones right to move about freely, I could respect them more.

Regardless of any political outcome the aftermath should be reconciliation and peaceful transition with the winners given a chance to govern.

I recall that your publisher, sometime back, taking a letter writer to task for condemning a newly elected supervisor before that person took office.

It was good advice, I hope all readers and writers can do the same.

Perhaps if those currently in office, those educating and those parenting did more to control the current situation, I could respect them more. For now, I am disappointed.

To the Hillary haters To the Editor: This is for all the Hillary haters to read when you talk about lying: When you see an American Iraq war veteran with one leg, think about who lied to cause him to lose his leg?

When you see an American Iraq war veteran with no legs, think of who lied to cause him to lose both legs?

When you see an American Iraq war veteran with one arm, think of who lied that caused him to lose his arm?

When you see an American Iraq war veteran with no arms, think of who caused him to lose both arms?

When you see an American Iraq war veteran who is blind, think of who lied to cause him to lose his vision?

When you see an American Iraq war veteran who doesn’t know where he is or who he is, think about who lied that caused him to lose his mind?

When you see all the American Iraq war veterans in hospitals today, think about who caused them to be in those hospitals?

I think about it all the time whenever I see any of our American Iraq veterans, I think about it all the time, who could have been responsible for all these ruined lives, how could any man or men have lied to do such a horrendous thing, who?

Then the answer came to me: George Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, William Kristol and George Tenet.

They all lied, and what did you do?

‘Radium Girl’ film hits close to home To the Editor: In 1941, my ma Helen Fieldstadt Phillips worked in a WWII defense plant willing the luminescent pointers for air craft gauges. She wanted to move “upstairs” into the wet radium department as it paid 10 cents more per hour.

But my dad, who was not married to her yet, said “no!”

That simple no saved her from a life of misery. She said that the girls in the wet radium used their lips to keep a point on the brushes.

Every one of them died!

I remember one lived on the Schroon River Road in Chestertown or Warrensburg and committed suicide by eating a can of Drain-o. This was back in the late 1950s.

My ma said her whole night shift would glow in the dark on their walk home. Was from filling the pointers to balance them.

Ma died April 1987 from natural cases.

Editor’s note: This letter refers to the article “Radium Girl movie shot in Lake George,” which appeared in the Oct. 29 edition of the Sun. George Phillips Chestertown

Letter on U.S.-Israel relationship misleading To the Editor: As a taxpayer, it is fair for Jim Bullard to entreat Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Mike Derrick to address U.S. funding of weapons for Israel (The Valley News Sun, Nov. 4). Indeed, it is his right to petition government as to how our taxpayer dollars should and should not be spent, or who should receive our aid.

As I have responded in the past to Mr. Bullard in this newspaper (The Valley News Sun, Aug. 27), Israel is the sole stable democracy in the Middle East with its citizens sharing many of our same Judeo-Christian values.

We are fortunate to have her as an ally, difficult as that may be from time to time. Yet, in Mr. Bullard’s letter to which I had responded (The Valley News Sun, Aug. 13) he veered off course from his fanciful hypothesis about a Trump-Putin-U.S. State Department triumvirate to off-handedly snipe that “our foreign policy is already directed by Israel.” In my response I asked him to question his motive for making this gratuitous (and false) assessment.

In Mr. Bullard’s Nov. 4 letter, he ramps up his choice of condescending phrases in regard to Israel — “artificial entity,” “statelet,” “Bronze Age Fairy tales” (I have to assume this is a regerence to the Hebrew Bible) — to show his contempt for the Jewish state. I can see where he’s headed with this.

I look forward to his next letter to the Sun to read news of a world-wide Jewish conspiracy to commandeer the Pentagon, maybe even the banks.

It is an old story, and it would be funny if it weren’t so sad.

Beyond the Beltway Democrats are worse off Dick Polman

Columnist

W

e’re all so fixated on what’s happening right now in Washington where Team Trump, shocked by its own victory, is scrambling to form a government with predictable incompetence - that it’s easy to ignore what’s happening in the states beyond the Beltway.

That’s where the Democrats are getting their butts kicked in ways not seen since the 1920s.

When the dust settles, they’ll control a mere 30 of the 98 partisan state legislative chambers. Their incessant losses at the grassroots level have put the Republicans fully in charge of both legislative chambers in 32 states.

That’s a record high for the GOP. Most state legislatures - at last check, 36 - draw the congressional boundaries for 336 of the 435 House districts. If Republicans can sustain their state dominance in the 2018 midterms (bet on it), they’ll keep drawing those boundaries in ways that maximize their voters and minimize the clout of Democratic voters - thus perpetuating their majorities in the House of Representatives. And if Republicans in the years ahead can raise their state legislative dominance from 32 to 38 states, while retaining their congressional power, they’ll be able to ratify their dream amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

This is one of the most underreported stories of our era: Barack Obama’s two wins at the top of the Democratic ticket have masked the party’s down-ballot disasters. In fact, Democrats have been hemorrhaging seats in the hinterlands since the 2010 midterms. Since Obama was sworn in, Democrats have lost roughly 900 state legislative seats and control of more than half the state chambers they ran at the dawn of 2009.

A party can’t build a solid bench if its legs are weak. Hillary Clinton acknowledged this in a 2015 interview: “You see the problems, when we don’t have a pipeline from county commissions and school boards and state legislatures all the way up to governors.

And it has really hurt us...we have just been decimated.”

So what’s the problem? Why have Democrats coughed up so many states - where anti-abortion laws and voter ID laws and so many other pet conservative causes have flourished during the last six years?

Clinton, in that interview, offered one reason: “Democrats are really personality-driven.” In other words, they’re focused on the presidential nominee, they’re top-down instead of bottom-up.

And since many (or most) voters don’t know much about their state legislators, party ID is arguably the most determinative factor. That’s where Republicans have built a big advantage; at the local level, their party brand is better. Fairly or not, they’re viewed as the party of “low taxes” and “pro-business.” Working-class whites view the GOP as the party of the little guy, even though Republicans haven’t done jack for the little guy and job-exodus due to factory shutdowns were endemic under Ronald Reagan.

But nobody ever said that politics is fair. Democrats have long paid insufficient attention to their grassroots races, failing time and again to find the “language that real voters speak in.” So says Democratic activist Jessica Post, who had the thankless task of helming the party’s 2016 plan to win back state legislatures.

In her words, “We have a lot of learning to do about how to go back to our roots...I think Democrats are in for a long period of introspection.”

Can’t argue with that.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Let the arts get you through Thanksgiving is here again, and soon the homes of North Country residents will be filled with food, fun, family — and differing political opinions.

It’s a classic scenario: you’re sitting at the table, innocently eating a forkful of your aunt’s pumpkin pie, when suddenly your uncle breaks out in an unmitigated rant about “those people.”

It’s rough — I know. But there’s a way to get through it without spending your entire Thanksgiving meal struggling to keep your eyes from rolling.

The arts.

Now, stay with me here.

When you’re faced with a seemingly endless political discussion at the dinner table this season, bring up an anecdote. Talk about that concert you went to this week. The musical you saw.

Holiday Train heads for the region The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is rolling in again on Nov. 27

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – The brightly-lit Canadian Pacific Railway Holiday Train is again bound for Port Henry and Ticonderoga.

The train will arrive on Sunday, Nov. 27, at 3:10 p.m. in Ticonderoga and 4:45 p.m. in Port Henry.

“Hopefully, we’ll have good weather and a good turnout,” Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said. “All the food collected goes directly to the Food Shelf.”

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is back for the 18th year to raise money, food and awareness for local food banks and food shelves. People are asked to take a nonperishable food item to the train stop for donation to the local food shelf. The railroad also makes a monetary donation to local food banks at each stop.

The train is 1,000 feet in length, with 14 rail cars decorated with thousands of LED lights,

and a boxcar that was converted into a traveling stage for the performers.

Canadian country artists Kelly Prescott and Doc Walker will be the musicians on the U.S. train this year.

The train will arrive at: - Ticonderoga Amtrak Station, 3:10 p.m.

- Port Henry Train Station, 4:45 p.m.

- Plattsburgh Amtrak Station, 7:15 p.m.

- Rouses Point Train Station, 9 p.m.

Every pound of food and dollar raised at each stop stays with the local food bank to help those in need in that community, Canadian Pacific CEO E. Hunter Harrison said.

“For nearly 20 years, CP has watched communities turn out to enjoy a wonderful event while taking a stand against hunger,” he said.

“We are proud of the role the Holiday Train plays, but more importantly, we’re proud of the people and families that come out year after year to help their neighbors. They’re the reason we keep bringing the train back.”

Ticonderoga Town Supervisor Joseph Giordano said he’ll be at the train stop to accept the monetary donation from CP Railway.

The Canadian Pacific Railway Holiday Train arrives during the holiday season last year. The train is visiting Essex and Clinton counties on Nov. 27.

“I’m going to go and say a few words,” Giordano said. “I’ll thank everyone for supporting the cause of the food bank. I’m hoping for a good turnout and I want to remind everyone to take a nonperishable food item.

At this time of year, it’s wonderful to be a part of this community event.”

He said people should try to arrive early,

around 2:45 p.m., because the boxcar stage opens toward the State Boat Launch Site and the train will block the crossing when it arrives.

“We’re thankful of the many blessings we have at this time of year,” Giordano said. “We need to support the many good causes in town.”

Cornell sophomore attends historic U.N. event Saranac Lake native invited to United Nations meeting on climate change

SARANAC LAKE — The Paris Agreement to address climate change, adopted by world leaders last December at the Climate Conference in Paris, officially entered into force on Friday, Nov. 4.

To commemorate this historic day, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon invited representatives of civil society groups to a 45 minute meeting with him at UN Headquarters in New York City.

This meeting provided 50 representatives of civil society groups the opportunity to share with the Secretary General how their organizations will contribute to the objectives of the Paris Agreement, as well as their visions and concerns.

Caroline Dodd of Saranac Lake, a Cornell University sophomore, attended this historic meeting.

Dodd had been selected as a Civil Society representative to attend the 2014 United Nations Climate Conference through a global selection process. Last week she was called by the UN Non-Governmental Liaison Service to once again represent youth climate leaders at this historic event. Dodd represented the civil society organizations of Plan International and the Wild Center’s Adirondack Youth Climate Program.

During the meeting, 11 members of civil society groups spoke.

Individuals from organizations including the Climate Action Network, Greenpeace, MIT and others presented their thoughts on the implementation of the Paris Agreement.

“There were powerful and dedicated statements of support for the Paris Agreement,” Dodd said. “Including remarks on the importance of civil society remaining vigilant as the agree-

ment is put into place. Several recorded statements were viewed from around the world, one from Marshall Islander Kathy JetnilKijiner, whose opening poem at the 2014 UN Climate Summit brought world leaders to their feet in a standing ovation.”

Following the input from civil society members the Secretary General set his script aside to make his closing comments.

“This, I found out later is very unusual,” Dodd said. “The Secretary General’s comments focused on the importance of educating the youth of the world about climate change, the importance of all countries working together to combat this global issue and the importance of civil society in this fight. He called civil society the ‘Kings and Queens without crowns’ that have made the Paris Agreement possible. Shaking the Secretary General’s hand and then sitting a few feet from him for the meeting to commemorate this historic day is something I will never forget. My take away from the entire meeting was one of hopefulness.”

Racial Incidents From page 1

“I have lived and been the best I can as a citizen in small town Plattsburgh for the last nine years,” wrote Dorjee. “The last two days have been shocking to say the least. I was subjected to the choicest racial language that I have ever heard.”

Dorjee told North Country Public Radio he was peppered with slurs outside Walmart. While driving, he was cut off and given the finger. And his car was vandalized (which he admitted may be unrelated).

“I choose to ignore the curses and answer them with a smile,” he said, “For I have no other recourse, not knowing what the outcome will be if I chose to respond otherwise.”

While Dorjee said he had no plans to report the incidents to law enforcement, they have sparked a discussion in a city that remains overwhelmingly white — 90 percent, according to 2010 U.S. Census Bureau data.

‘ENRICHED BY DIVERSITY’ Historically, the City of Plattsburgh has been a diverse community, Calnon said on Thursday.

“We have always been enriched by that diversity and we continue to acknowledge the benefits from that, and I personally have never been prouder of Plattsburgh than with the ‘Hate is not a Plattsburgh value’ campaign that was here a few years ago,” Calnon said, referring to the outcry against a protest by the Westboro Baptist Church, a controversial religious sect, in 2009.

Dorjee’s experiences join others that have been reported across the country since last week, including several in New York.

Fliers glorifying the Ku Klux Klan were found distributed on cars in Patchogue last week, and a swastika was discovered on the B train in Manhattan, according to the governor’s office.

A Brooklyn playground dedicated to the late Adam Yauch, best known as a founding member of the Beastie Boys, was also defaced with anti-Semitic imagery, which led to a peaceful gathering on Sunday.

The incidents are all part of a rising spike in racially-motivated attacks that Gov. Andrew Cuomo referred to as a “dangerous new permissiveness that threatens our American way.”

Data supports those claims. The Southern Poverty Law Center reported over 700 incidents of intimidation targeting people of color, Muslims, immigrants and the LGBT community since the election on Nov. 8.

Following the wave of reports, Cuomo on Sunday announced the creation of a new state police task force to investigate hate crimes.

www.suncommunitynews.com

The governor also ordered an expansion of the state’s human rights law to protect all students, and announced the establishment of a new emergency legal defense fund for immigrants.

Cuomo also requested that the State Education Department take immediate action to address instances of prejudice, including requiring training for staff and students on the discriminatory behavior that is prohibited under state law.

Last week, the governor, who said he was “soul sick” over the activity, ordered state police and the state Division of Human Rights to conduct a multi-agency investigation into an alleged hate crime that took place at SUNY Geneseo.

The incident was first reported by a staffer who discovered graffiti, including a swastika and the word “Trump” at a dorm, according to the governor’s office.

This marks the second post-election investigation launched into alleged hate crimes in the Empire State.

Last week, a softball field dugout in Wellsville, Allegany County, was defaced with the words “Make America White Again” accompanied by a spray-painted swastika.

“I call on all public officials, of all parties, and indeed, all people everywhere, to denounce and repudiate these expressions, and to pledge to punish to the full extent of the law anyone engaged in such acts,” Cuomo said.

Cuomo, long a champion of progressive values, joined thousands of other New Yorkers earlier this month in posting a sticky note on a wall at the 14th Street-Union Square subway station in Manhattan, the site of an impromptu therapeutic outlet following the election.

“New York State holds the torch high!,” wrote the governor, signing the note “Andrew C.” “‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free … I lift my lamp beside the golden door,’” Cuomo wrote, quoting Emma Lazarus.

TOUGH TIMES Dr. J.W. Wiley, Chief Diversity Officer at SUNY Plattsburgh, said he hasn’t personally witnessed an uptick in racial incidents since the election — but said Trump’s ascension has given people cover to express their ugliest sentiments.

“People are more comfortable going to those places,” Wiley said.

When candidate Trump stumped in the city in April, Wiley heard reports of 12 trucks with Confederate flags driving up and down campus streets.

“In the 16 years I lived here, take 15 years, add them up and they still don’t add up to how many (Confederate flags) I’ve seen in the past seven months,” Wiley said.

Trump is already failing as a leader by declining to strongly repudiate these actions — and it may get worse after he takes

office in January, he said.

“A leader of a large constituency base has to be receptive to their community,” Wiley said. “No leader has a larger constituency base than the president of the United States.”

Wiley said he’s trying to stay positive, following former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton’s and President Obama’s urging to foster productive discourse.

But it’s tough, Wiley said, when Trump appoints people with long records of racially-tinged statements to his team, including Steve Bannon, the former editor of alt-right site Breitbart News, and Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, as attorney general.

“We’ve got some tough times ahead of us,” Wiley said.

EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS The Adirondack Diversity Advisory Council said the current political climate did not develop in the last few days or even in the last few years.

“It is an expression of deep-seated biases that have institutionalized themselves throughout America’s social fabric,” said Pete Nelson, the organization’s co-founder.

ADAC, said Nelson, believes in the mantra that “people don’t know what they don’t know.”

“Most of us don’t recognize or understand our racial and gender biases, our age-ism or our religious intolerance,” Nelson said. “All of us have a lot more to learn in an increasingly diverse world.”

As reports of incidences continue to ripple across the country, ADAC will continue initiatives that speak to building experience and competence, Nelson said.

Two cornerstones of their long-term strategy are promoting more education and building more experiences of diversity in local communities.

Those efforts join a youth exchange program between urban and Adirondack young people, marketing, outreach and symposia.

ADAC, Nelson said, is also in the middle of a strategic planning exercise that will grow the organization, refocus these initiatives and develop new ones.

More will be announced in coming months.

“In the meantime, we will continue to increase our presence in the Adirondacks as we work with our allies to build a more competent, socially just and diverse region,” Nelson said.

“At street level, on the bottom floor, will be the maker space. The middle floor is where all digital work to design the products will be located,” Maher said.

“The top floor has space for groups of kids to develop an idea or discuss a problem to solve. Our program in Social Entrepreneurship seeks out and looks to solve actual problems in area business,” Maher said.

An example of work in the class now, the headmaster said, is helping local farmer Tyler Eden, of Blue Pepper Farm in Jay, evaluate a business plan for yogurt production with sheep’s milk.

“The students are working on feasibility, productivity and profitability of yogurt production,” Maher said.

But they aren’t working from the new Center for Innovation yet.

Construction has begun and will take a brief break for the holiday vacation period, and begin again in earnest, looking to complete renovations by next November.

“We see this as a one of a kind facility, there’s no other boarding school in the U.S. that has that kind of programming,” Maher said.

The idea dawned as Maher drove through the Adirondacks for the job interview a few years ago.

Hired in Sept. 2014, he took the helm on July 1 last year as former Northwood Head of School Ed Good retired.

“When I drove into Lake Placid for my interview, I realized there’s no other boarding school that is in a rural environment with as many aspects to draw into an educational facility,” Maher said.

“I thought, what if we make Mirror Lake the center of the campus? What would it be like if we offered our programs at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts during the daytime? What happens if we build an integrated program around flight school at the Lake Placid Airport involving aerodynamics, engineering and pilot training?

What happens if we reapply our physics program to look at the Olympic sports and the venues designed for top performance? I was finishing a coffee at Starbucks and I looked across the street and thought: What happened if we bought that building?”

With Pipe and Book, a book and tobacco store, had closed in 2009 after operating in the space for almost 30 years.

The space has long been vacant and closed.

“So we’re real excited about this and it has made Northwood more attractive to another entirely different group of kids,” Maher said.

Asked what types of Social Entrepreneurship projects seem to draw the most attention, Maher said “there is no question that the primary interests are environmental.”

Eventually, Northwood will hire a full-time director for the Center for Innovation.

Already, Maher said, Northwood has teachers for three of the five disciplines to be taught on Main Street.
