Cuomo leads assault against tax plan GOP-penned bill is “political retaliation,” say blue state governors By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ALBANY | Gov. Andrew Cuomo isn’t mincing words when it comes to the tax reform bill that cleared the U.S. Senate last week, calling it “trickle-down on steroids” and “a fraud” perpetrated on the American public. Cuomo reserved particular vitriol for the amendment that would end state and local tax deductions up to $10,000 annually. Rolling back the provision known as SALT is a deliberate attempt to target high-tax states like New York, he said, which sends $40 billion more in tax revenue to Washington, D.C. than it receives. “It’s political retaliation through the tax code,” he said Monday on conference call with reporters. “It will be devastating for the states that are affected. “It’s 40 percent of the GDP — you’re targeting the blue states.” » Tax Reform Cont. on pg. 15

NCCC trustees discuss Saranac Lake Radio Park Acquiring the Saranac Lake property would unify campus By Lohr McKinstry

County Sheriff to retire Cutting not seeking re-election

said, referring to former sheriff Henry Hommes. “I thought about it and said I would give them two terms, and that is what I have done.” Cutting joined the department in 1977 after serving two years in the Marine Corps and a short stint in the county’s DMV office. “I think the Marines prepared me by instilling that sense of pride and duty that will always go with me,” Cutting said. “When I came back here from the military, I had always wanted to go into law enforcement because I grew up with Marshall Dillon and C.H.I.Ps, shows where the good guys made a difference and always did the right thing.” » Sheriff Cont. on pg. 5

LEWIS | After over four decades of service to country and county, Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting has decided it is time to move on. Cutting announced Monday, Dec. 4 he will retire at the end of his term after 40 years with the department. “When I was appointed to take Henry’s place, the party asked me if I wanted to run,” Cutting

SARANAC LAKE | The Radio Park property in Saranac Lake was pulled from a recent Essex County tax auction at the request of North Country Community College. Meeting at the college’s Ticonderoga Campus recently, the NCCC Board of Trustees discussed acquiring the two parcels at 159 and 160 Santanoni Ave. as a means of unifying the Saranac Lake main campus. WNBZ FM and WIRD AM once broadcast from Radio Park, owned by Ted Morgan’s Mountain Communications, but non-payment of back taxes resulted in the seizure by Essex County. “We would like to acquire that prop-

erty,” college President Steve Tyrell said at the meeting. He said several questions must be answered before that happens, including if the radio tower there would have to come down. Under state law, the college can’t own property, so either the NCCC Foundation, the state Dormitory Authority, or even Essex County, would have to own the parcels. One use for the property would be to connect the campus with its dorms and Sparks Athletic Complex. Tyrell said they’re not sure if they’d keep or demolish the buildings on the property, which are deteriorated. He said they would not run it as a radio station. Morgan is now broadcasting WNBZ from Plattsburgh as an automated station. The parcel at 159 Santanoni Ave. is listed with $3,598 in back taxes and penalties, and the one at 160 Santanoni Ave. owes $13,317. ■

Holiday magic: Local toy drive gearing up

ACAP-sponsored program to aid 642 children this holiday season By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Christmas gifts piled up on the pool table in the Halfway House banquet room last week. The annual Adirondack Community Action Program toy drive is moving full speed. Unwrapped new toys will go to families with children ages 0 to 16 as part of Holidays are for Sharing, an Essex County project that gathers pace in weeks just before Christmas. Alan Jones, executive director at ACAP said the gifts and holiday cheer will reach 642 children this year. And at the Friday evening kick-off celebration last week, a record-breaking 37 baskets were out for silent auction, each donated by as many local businesses, from restaurant and movie certificates, to ski passes, fire wood, festive woodcrafts, local products and food, the fundraiser saw nearly three times the support as in recent years. As the raffle and toy drive got underway, the banquet room at the Halfway House was nearly full. “We work with the Marine Corps league, too,” Jones said. “And the Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad also donates the toys that they collect.”

The green felt pool table at the Halfway House in New Russia filled up fast with donations of new toys as part of the Adirondack Community Action Program’s “Holidays are for Sharing” toy drive. Baskets and goods for raffle were lined up around the room, with contributions from some 37 local businesses, including ski passes, movie tickets, holiday decorations, food and hand-crafted items. Photo by Kim Dedam Ginger Phinney, who helps coordinate the fundraising get-together each year, said the turnout was incredible. “This is a real community effort,” she said. “It’s the magic of Christmas.” Families that benefit from dozens of hidden Santa’s elves throughout the county will receive boxes of gifts in the week before Christmas. And the need encompasses every town. Toys are also collected through the coming weeks at town

halls and at the ACAP main office on Court Street, Jones said. And applications for families to receive gifts are also available in every town hall. Organizers were grateful for the enormous local support. “A big thank you goes to all who donated and the many, many businesses around the region who helped out,” Jones said. The end goal, he said, helps make a brighter Christmas for area families. ■

Essex Center raises funds for new Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad ambulance ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex Center for Rehabilitation & Healthcare began a challenge this fall that pledged to match all donations up to $5,000 through September in order to raise the amount needed for a new ambulance for the Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad. Essex Center ultimately raised $5,250. “The Essex Center is part of the great community of Elizabethtown,” said Jeff Jacomowitz, spokesperson for Centers Health-

care and Essex Center. “Learning that the Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad uses an ambulance that’s 17-years-old and has worked hard to raise the monies needed for a new one, so a substantial donation is the least we can do for the squad and for this great community to feel safe.” Fundraising helps to keep taxes down for the community, and Squad President Patty Bashaw has been mindful of those concerns. ■

Undersheriff to run for Essex County sheriff Michael Badger announced candidacy on Monday

dacy on Monday. “It would be my intention to continue to review those changes and implement any needed positive changes for the betterment of the department.” Badger added the most pressing issue he sees is the matter of opioid use. “Opioids are the biggest issue facing law enforcement,” he said. “We have to stay focused on the issue through the task force and enforcement.”

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

LEWIS | With the retirement of Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting now official, one candidate has officially thrown his hat in the ring, while another potential candidate will wait until the new year to make an official decision. The Sun asked both Undersheriff Michael Badger and Major David Reynolds if rumors of a potential run at the position were true.

REYNOLDS TO WAIT

Reynolds, who has been with the department for the past 18 years, said in a statement he released Monday he was not ready to make an official announcement, but left the door open to a run starting at the beginning of the new year. “This is the time to focus on Sheriff Cutting’s long and distinguished career,” Reynolds said. “He has been part of the sheriff’s office for over 40 years. His entire career has been focused on working for our county — something to be incredibly proud of. I know that I speak for everyone when I say that the office will not be the same without his presence. “It is also the time to focus on Christmas and New Year’s celebrations with friends and family. I will be happy to discuss my plans in the new year, when the time is more appropriate.”

BADGER IN

“I can tell you that I am running,” Badger said. “I want to go out and talk with the supervisors and see what their needs are from this department and to work with them.” Badger has been a member of the sheriff’s department for 30 years and said he is proud of the accomplishments of the department over that time. “I have made and assisted in many positive changes to the department over the past seven years as second in command,” Badger said in a letter announcing his candi-

Major David Reynolds (right), another rumored candidate, has said he will not make any announcements until after the new year. File photos setting up a primary contest between the two on September. If both candidates were to file as independents, they would then face off in the general election, which would be held Nov. 6. ■

Conservation Concersations

Norwegian wood Deer hunting is ending, so working in the woods is now my pleasure. I enjoy managing my woodlot, not because it’s making money. It’s not. By Rich Redman Not because I have valuable timber, • COLUMNIST • no I don’t. It’s because I have a true blue hardcore ethic about taking care of the land, water and woods. Simply put, I enjoy it. While I walk through my woods, I get to do a mental evaluation of the trees to keep and those to go — a gray matter forest management plan. First I want to see some sky, so opening up the canopy is important. Hemlocks grow thick, so they will be culled out for timber or camp firewood. Long term is quality timber, firewood and wildlife habitat. Short

term goals are to thin, release and open the canopy so the sun reaches the earth. It’s amazing what the removal of one tree will do. I know what I want to grow in the future, whether I plant seeds or seedlings. Nature will supply its share, but I also want a stake in the game, so I’ll plant what I want growing in that particular area. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has a nursery in Saratoga and purchasing seedlings through them is very reasonable. Red oak, wild apples, and other trees will be on the purchase order this spring. Planting 100 trees a year is easy, and the work can be done in half of a day. This season, I have a partner to help me get my logs out. After perusing the internet for three-point hitch tractor winches, from Binghamton to New Hampshire, I found a good deal through the LeBerge and Curtis John Deere dealership in Canton. I bought a Norwegian made Igland Norse 350 winch with three choker chains to get the wood out. I had three friends offer me the use of their winches, but borrowing someone’s equipment is not what I like to do. I just wouldn’t want to take a chance on damaging it. That could ruin a good friendship, and friendships are more valuable to me than anything else. So thank you guys, but I bought my own! It works out well for me because I can keep it mounted on my tractor and do my woods work when I feel like it, when the weather fits my mood, or my mood fits the work. I had to agonize about buying the tool, because I don’t

like spending money, unless it’s on a fishing trip to Montana, but that doesn’t count. After just a few days of using it, believe me, it was worth it! There is less back breaking work and chain aggravation. It’s a labor and mind saver. I have winched out numerous blown down trees, dropped and dragged hemlock, and started on next season’s firewood. All of the wood is skidded to a clearing to be sliced and diced. With the Norwegian Norse winch and my wood, I have given the woodlot a new name: Norwegian Wood, after the Beatles song! Come spring, my tree plantings will go in, the roadways will be seeded down with clover, and I’ll go fly fishing. Isn’t it good? ■

LOTS OF GOOD THINGS

IN THE SPIRIT: In a nod to the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympic Games, patrons of the Elizabethtown Library have decorated this Christmas Tree with international flags and a global map. As part of their holiday event schedule, the library will raffle off a vintage Adirondack shadowbox on Dec. 15, and will host a holiday book sale from Dec. 11 to 15. “It has been a wonderful year and we are so excited for 2018 as many things are being planned,” Director Angela Heroux told The Sun.

Cutting said he decided to take the position in August 2010 because of the “good things” that were happening in the department. “It took a lot of time in training as we built this building,” said Cutting, referring to the public safety building which replaced the old Essex County Jail and office. “We had all the good things that had started from the new building. We were now together with the state police, and that relationship has been excellent. When I first started, there was so much competition between the law enforcement agencies and now there is a great cooperation between all of us.” Since its opening, Cutting said the jail has generated over $11 million in revenue for the county thanks to a federal inmate contract. “The jail was built to 30-year figures, so we had more beds than we need,” Cutting said. “We have become the feds go-to jail. We also have a great counseling system through St. Andrews that I always talk up and has been looked at by Vermont as an approach they would like to take.” Cutting also pointed out the animal cruelty and opioid task forces as major accomplishments during his tenure, but also talked about the members of the staff, who he said will be missed greatly. “We have developed such a dedicated group here,” Cutting said. “I will miss the opportunity to work with them and simply the chance we all have to help people.” The department Cutting entered in 1977 with 15-18 employees now stands at over 80 officers, civilians and staff members. He also spoke of Mighty Matthew, a child who the department spent a day with as part of the Make-A-Wish program. “That was a special event,” he said.

HIGHS AND LOWS

While overseeing many positives in the department, there were low points. “I remember the time three inmates escaped from the old prison and we had to track them down,” Cutting said. “I also remember the flooding in 1980 and walking along the river for three days to find the men who were missing.” However, Cutting said it was the death of Deputy Eric Loiselle in 2005 which was hardest on he and the department. “It was a very stunning, shocking time,” he said, holding back tears. “I just remember showing up on the scene and all of the deputies were just — it was shock. I still can picture him sitting in the undersheriff’s office with a grin on his face. It took a lot to realize tomorrow was another day and getting through for all of us.”

MOVING ON

“It’s a little scary,” Cutting said as he thought about the final year of his time as sheriff. “You develop such a sense of ownership that it is hard to let go, but I know whoever is elected to follow me will have the vision and direction to take this department where it needs to go.” Cutting said he hopes to continue to work with groups such as Honor Flight, the American Legion and others in retirement, but also plans to spend more time with his family, including his wife, Lauri, a retired 30-year employee at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, and his daughter, Krysta, a physical therapist in Maryland. “There may also be some time for some golfing and motorcycle riding, as well.” ■ COVER: Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting speaks to members of the media about not seeking re-election in 2018, retiring after 40 years of service in the department.

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Unspeakable behavior

While the signs have been showing for years, day by day we see how some with the most power, influence and money By Dan Alexander in this country have • PUBLISHER • used their resources in unthinkable ways, but it seems a day of reckoning may be coming. Last week, the nation was shocked by the fall of NBC Today anchor Matt Laurer. Laurer’s off-air escapades like those of highly respected Charlie Rose and Bill O’Reilly should have become public years earlier, but these crimes speak more to the system than they do to the individual. Sadly swamp creatures can be found wherever excessive power, money and influence are delegated to those in authority. We know these vices, if not in the right hands, can be great corrupters of even the best of us. Most of these people who’ve been exposed, and those yet to be exposed, are some of the brightest people among us. We look to them for leadership, creativity, sound judgment and in many cases, their charisma has us placing them on pedestals which provides them with a sense of entitlement and invincibility. With talented individuals like these, do we really think sensitivity courses or more education in sexual harassment will help them see the light and become the upstanding citizens they purport to be? The folks in Washington apparently think we are that dimwitted. That’s their best recommendation to solve the harassment problem aside from the $17 million of our money they’ve spent to keep a lid on these abuses for the last 20 years. Capitalism is the foundation of our economy but does anyone need a salary in the tens of millions of dollars a year to perform a job that has many other great perks. Media stars, like sports stars, corporate executives and government officials, need a strong moral compass to resist the many pitfalls where they so can easily succumb. George Washington set the tone for two terms in oﬃce as he obviously understood this nation was not about royalty or privilege. Sadly, evil deeds will continue to occur as we are all susceptible to corruptive behavior at all levels. So long as some members of the rich and powerful can intimidate and buy their way out of trouble, it’s our responsibility to keep tabs on their behavior and let them know it will not be tolerated in the court of public opinion. ■

Opinion

From the Editorial Board

State would be wise to embark on diet plan Counties across the state are rolling out their 2018 budgets. Leaders in Clinton, Essex and Warren counties have endeavored to keep spending flat. Each of their tentative spending plans have been delivered under the statemandated tax cap. Essex County, in particular, deserves praise for sticking to their guns and seeing their five-year plan through to completion despite numerous roadblocks. As of Monday, Essex County’s tentative 2018 spending plan contains a modest 5 cent increase to the tax rate, and a 2.23 percent in the tax levy. County officials have taken heat over the past half-decade, dodging missiles from the general public and lawmakers who have attempted to chip away at programming and dip into their savings in last-ditch efforts to keep the tax rate flat. So kudos to budget officers tasked with keeping the county on a starvation diet while ensuring programming is met and the fund balance replenished. Other localities should now follow the county’s example of making hard choices — including the state. New York is facing the most troubling fiscal climate since Gov. Andrew Cuomo took office in 2011. The state faces a “triple threat” of lagging sales tax revenues, projected budget gaps and cuts in federal aid, warned state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli in a report last month. The comptroller predicts a $4.1 billion

Tax bill will hurt North Country voters To the Editor: The tax bill that passed the Senate last week hurts North Country voters. Will our New York state representatives stand up and vote against it, I ask myself? Will they make their votes count and not succumb to pressure? Will they show their constituents they really care? There are so many details we still don’t know but what we do know is incredibly irresponsible. Republican senators have voted to increase the deficit. I thought Republicans were going to cut the deficit. The Republicans promised

budget deficit, a number that could be doubled within the next two years. While tax reform at the federal level remains a dangling question mark, among the most troubling items contained within the bill passed by the U.S. Senate last week is the partial repeal of deductions on state and local income taxes. Repeal of the so-called SALT deduction would hurt high-tax states like New York the most. While middle-class upstate homeowners would still be able to write off up to $10,000 annually, passage may mean higher-income residents might opt to vote with their feet and leave the state altogether, which would increase the burden for the rest of us. Local governments may also be pressed to cut spending or lower taxes as a result. We all know there’s nothing left to cut in the North Country, a measure cast into even sharper relief by this year’s inane statemandated shared service panels. Cuomo has spent the past year fulminating against federal proposals, and has used nothing short of apocalyptic language to deride the bills and the lawmakers supporting them. But unlike the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, passage of tax reform is within sight, and Cuomo must now do more than use his bully pulpit and threaten lawmakers. He should put the state on a crash diet. The governor typically proposes his budget in January. While he has indicated he will keep state spending growth capped at 2 percent, we can think of a few additional

to cut taxes of low wage earners. Where are the cuts? For me, it is deplorable that the tax bill includes a provision that permits drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, a place set aside for future generations of people and the preservation of endangered wildlife. As a resident of the Adirondacks, a protected park, I am disheartened. I am also a senior facing the possibility of a reduction in or elimination of Medicare funding. And I wish this was not so, but more importantly, I wish this bill didn’t eliminate affordable health insurance for millions of American children and their parents, many of which live right here in the North Country.

ways to seriously curb spending. The first should be to reign in the state’s economic development programs. While we’re largely supportive of the Regional Economic Development Council initiative, which allocates some $8 billion to development projects across the state, many of projects being funded are little more than vanity projects with dubious benefit to the community. The state should curb refundable tax credits for the film industry, and seriously examine other economic development programs, many of which operate seemingly without proper oversight. Albany should also seriously explore curtailing waste in Medicaid spending. One in four state residents are program beneficiaries, costing the state some $60 billion annually, more than any state in the nation. The governor is fond of big ideas, and his tenure has been lined with an impressive litany of bold-faced policy proposals. But now that we’re at a decision point, we should also scale back some of these sweeping and bold ideas, particularly those that will carry an impact for local taxpayers illequipped to shoulder them. What the state should not do, however, is entertain drastic cuts to public education and aid to local governments, two areas that always seem to appear on the chopping block. If local governments are being put on a diet, then the state needs to swallow that same bitter pill. ■

Stewart’s Holiday Match kicks off Campaign continues to set records, funds support local children’s charities

ELIZABETHTOWN | Stewart’s Shops is teaming up with its customers once again to raise money for local children’s charities. The Stewart’s Holiday Match campaign kicks off on Thanksgiving Day and runs through Christmas Day at all shop locations. The program doubles customer donations penny for penny, and has set fundraising records for three consecutive seasons. “Already having such a sense of community

in our shops, the Stewart’s Holiday Match program has proven to be a perfect match for our friendly partners and loyal customers. By joining together, we can support kids in our own neighborhoods, all year long,” said Stewart’s Shops President Gary Dake. In 2016, customers donated an incredible $926,000 to the program, doubling to more than $1.85 million with the Stewart’s match. This was a $100,000 increase over the previous season. The funds were able to support a record 1,737 local children’s organizations across the 31 counties where Stewart’s Shops are located. “The Holiday Match Program is a significant part of Stewart’s commitment to strengthen our shops’ communities,” said Stewart’s Foundation President Susan Dake. “Not only does it raise funds and awareness for local children’s

charities, it encourages community support. It’s another way we are closer to you.” This program has contributed more than $24 million to thousands of local children’s organizations since 1986. All the money donated goes to charity; there are no administrative costs. The funds are allocated in March. The goal of Holiday Match is to encourage individual giving and broaden the base of support for local charities. Stewart’s Holiday Match is a 501c3 foundation; all donations are tax-deductible. Stewart’s gladly accepts funds from groups or businesses, but only matches individual donations. Local children’s organizations are encouraged to apply for funding online at stewartsshops.com. Paper applications are also available at

Hound mix who came in as a stray in rough shape — this poor guy had numerous fly scabs on his ears and sores on his neck. Reggie is now healing well and really enjoying the indoor life. He is a little shy initially, but once he gets to know you, he is a real sweetie! We are guessing he is about 3 to 4 years old and weighs about 30 pounds. Reggie seems to like other dogs and gets along especially well with our female canine friends! He would love to become a real member of a family in time for the holidays.

Hooper Decorating Contest is between 5-9 p.m. By Arin Burdo on Sunday, Dec. 10. • COLUMNIST • Homes and businesses in New Russia, Elizabethtown and Lewis will be judged in categories of Most Original, Most Beautiful and the Spirit of Christmas. Winners will have their names engraved on a permanent plaque and receive a gift from the social center. Please call the center if you wish to be included in the contest or nominate a neighbor. Many people ask how our winners are chosen. Our panel of judges varies each year and has different ideas for what winning decorations should look like. However, some tendencies seem consistent among judges from year-to-year. If you are looking for advice, here are our tips: Judges seem to prefer the look of incandescent lights over LED lights. No one is staunchly anti-LED, but a majority of winning decorations have been incandescent. Most judges do agree though — the two types should rarely be mixed. Judges seem to enjoy both all-white displays and multi-colored. Two colors can be nice, too. One single color is rarely chosen. Lots of LED lights of the same color light up the night nicely, but can be hard on the retinas. Shari’s advice? “Organized decorations are more attractive,” she said. Judges prefer a display which has an overall design with a sense of tidiness and uniformity. Displays with lots of varieties of lights and decorations randomly scattered about are not often selected. That said, sometimes the most lights does win. Josh says, “stick with a theme or go for most lights!” Generally, size and bulb count are not all that matters. A yard chuck-full of organized decorations is all sorts of fun, and often a contender. But just as often, a small display that is unique and well-presented takes a prize. These are just a few observations from past contests. The most important thing to remember is to create a design that you enjoy coming home to each night! We highly recommend ignoring our tips in favor of your personal preferences. For more holiday spirit this weekend, do not miss the Pleasant Valley Chorale program, Home for the Holidays, on Friday, Dec. 8, at 7 p.m. at the Essex Community Church in Essex and Sunday, Dec. 10, at 3 p.m. at the UCC Church in Elizabethtown.

First Night announces New Year’s Eve lineup All-ages celebration features 18 performers, fireworks

SARANAC LAKE | This Adirondack village’s all-ages New Year’s Eve celebration is known for pulling entertainment from all kinds of cultural traditions. The band that will close this year’s party is a great example of that. Soulsha is a self-described “Afro-Celtic funk” band from Boston, offering a high-energy blend of bagpipes, African percussion, fiddle, horns, bass and drums to keep dancers out on the floor until the stroke of midnight. That’s just one of 18 performers in the just-released lineup for the 12th annual First Night Saranac Lake, which is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 31 beginning at 6 p.m. Twelve of those are live music, ranging from fiddling to funk and from samba to swing. Others include comedy and kids’ shows. There are also two acts inspired by Roosevelt presidents. Colorado-based impersonator Joe Weigand becomes Teddy Roosevelt in a show he performed this fall to a packed town hall in Saranac Lake. Roosevelt Dime, named for FDR rather than TR, is a swinging downstate band full of soul and banjo. For laughs, there will be nationally renowned stand-up comic Owen Benjamin, who lives right here in Saranac Lake, and improv comedy troupe Completely Stranded, a First Night favorite from nearby Clinton County.

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:

Primate Fiasco plays high-energy dance music on oldschool instruments. Black Mountain Symphony, who will precede them at the Elks Lodge, is truly eclectic, from baroque violin to funk-rock. The Atkinson Family is a favorite North Country bluegrass band but hasn’t played at First Night Saranac Lake until now. Meanwhile, ace Vermont fiddler Patrick Ross will return after fronting the bluegrass quartet Hot Flannel here last year. Children’s entertainment is a highlight of every First Night, and this year offers the Nate & Kate Kids Show, a husband and wife from Ithaca who mix songs and juggling. Also returning is LoonWorks, a perennial First Night fa-

vorite full of magic, clowning and, yes, audience participation. Meanwhile, kids and adults can get into the groove of Soma Beats, a local African dance troupe. First Night Saranac Lake mixes up its lineup every year, but its bedrock is a pool of talented local and regional performers it can invite back repeatedly. Adirondack songwriting legend Roy Hurd is back this year, as are Saranac Lake swing jazz band Crackin’ Foxy, Plattsburgh area country combo Gabrielle Rabideau and Movin’ On, and the Adirondack Shakespeare Company, who string together snippets of plays to entertain and enlighten teens and adults. The Caramelo Trio will bring samba, bossa nova, tango and other Latin American styles down from the college town of Potsdam, and Josee Allard will offer her original feel-good songs. You can see these acts at 10 venues, most within easy walking distance and with free shuttle buses for the rest. An admission button costs $15 in advance for adults (age 20+) or $20 the day of the festival. Teenagers (13 to 19) get in for $7, and it’s free for children 12 and under. Started in 2006, First Night Saranac Lake offers a wide variety of alcohol-free, all-ages entertainment leading up to a unique snowflake drop for the midnight countdown, followed by fireworks over Lake Flower to ring in 2018. Button sale locations, performer bios and photos, donation and volunteer opportunities, and more can be found at firstnightsaranaclake.org or on Facebook. 12th annual all-ages New Year’s Eve celebration features 18 performers at 10 venues, ending with a midnight snowflake drop and fireworks over Lake Flower.

Doctor crafts remembrances to children murdered in the Holocaust By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | “He was the best teacher I had in my whole life,” Dr. Herbert Savel said of the man who taught him to hold a straight gouge or bent blade and pull life portraits from a block of wood. That teacher was Karl Huttig, a German master carver in the Oberamagau tradition, who skied over the mountains from Germany into Austria before coming to settle in Elizabethtown. Huttig was for a time Dr. Savel and his wife Isabel’s landlord. And he had a woodcarving studio at his home, Savel said of learning the craft nearly 50 years ago. “We carved with Karl for five years, two nights a week,” Savel recalled of his teacher. “Carving is a take-away,” the doctor explained. “You start with this,” he said holding up a plain block of basswood amid a sprawling group of colleagues and local friends gathered in the corridor to mark Savel’s legacy gift to the University of Vermont Health Network, Elizabethtown Community Hospital. Savel went on to build an exact replica of Huttig’s carving studio in their own Elizabethtown home. “We did all kinds of crazy things,” Savel said of his woodworking tutelage that began with difficult objects like a twist of standing rope honed from wood. Savel’s tribute to his teacher prefaced a formal presentation of 30 carvings he recently gave to ECH. To date, Savel has carved and painted, give or take, 1,385 portraits of children killed in concentration camps during the Holocaust of World War II. Their round beguiling faces, stances wide-eyed stares are drawn from a book compiled by Savel’s friend Serge Klarsfeld titled, “French Children of the Holocaust: A Memorial.” Savel held up the book. Its edges somewhat dog-eared, pages worn now, many photographs inside are marked with simple

Checkmarks in pencil indicate which photographs in Serge Klaisfeld’s book titled, “French Children of the Holocaust: A Memorial” have been carved to date by Dr. Herbert Savel.

The collection of woodcarvings pulled from basswood and hand-painted by Dr. Herbert Savel is a permanent art gift to the University of Vermont Health Network, Elizabethtown Community Hospital. In addition to the 30 carvings and accompanying photographs, Dr. Savel’s work is also featured in a collection of some 200 carvings on display with attendant photographs as “Kaddish in Wood” at the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg. Photo by Kim Dedam

checks to indicate those the local doctor has carved to date. In that book rest the heart of Savel’s inspiration: 8,000 blackand-white photographs that detail Klarsfeld’s research. Names accompany most of the photos along with dates and trains that sent the children and their families to the Nazi death camps. In his first carving, Savel chanced upon an image of a Jewish boy with hands raised to Nazi captors. A sun shone behind the young boy’s head. And that bright circle, like a halo, was added to every one of the hundreds of children’s images Savel has carved. “Every single human being has one thing in common,” the doctor said. “We partake of the divine. It has been a wonderful thing carving these kids,” he said. Along with pulling the small and innocent faces from a plane of basswood, Dr. Savel paints the vignettes, imagining the colors of clothing and hair, bringing their shoes and shirts and toys into living color beneath a bright yellow halo. “I always have painted their clothes in color. I bought the best paint,” Savel said. “These kids deserve the very best. “The hardest part is the painting,” Savel mused. “Oil paint goes into the wood.” A slip of a brush cannot be simply wiped clean. But as Huttig advised through many lessons, Savel said, “well you won’t do that again.” The carvings gifted to ECH are enclosed behind glass beside a waiting room. The attendant photos collected by Klarsfeld are mounted beside the case.

ECH CEO and President John Remillard said the collected work will remain on permanent display here. “I could not have done this by myself,” Savel acknowledged of his wife Isabel’s support and gifted teachers here and in the hereafter. “This gives people an opportunity to ask and learn,” Savel said. “This will prompt people to remember.” ■

Among items Dr. Herbert Savel shared in presenting his wood carving collection to ECH are tools used in the method taught by his teacher Carl Huttig and an as-yet unfinished work. Photo by Kim Dedam

WILLSBORO | Th e Willsboro Warriors will look to take the court with a core group of ballplayers whose leadership will be key to the season.

“With only one senior and four new players, we want to be able to establish a good foundation of leadership on the court,” coach Charlene “Sunny” Lobdell said. “We need to continue working to be vocal and make clear decisions to create scoring plays. We will also work to use our quickness to get back on defense.”

PLATTSBURGH | For the past two years, Section VII has been awarded with the “Stay in the Game” award for the lowest number of disqualifications from competition. However, leaders for the area’s high school sports governing body believe more can be done across the board. “It does not hurt to remind everyone of the ideals of sportsmanship,” said Section VII Executive Director Matthew Walentuk. “You can have times when lines are crossed and everyone just needs a little reminder.” Therefore, the section has created a pamphlet for athletic administrators, coaches, players and parents called “Sportsmanship Matters,” taken from a material supplied by NYSPHSAA and local leaders. “This was talked about at the MVAC and CVAC preseason meetings as what our expectations should be as a section,” Walentuk said. “This is something we hope will help athletic administrators to have those talks with their coaches, athletes and students.” The brochure includes an expectations area on topics such as positive cheering, supporting officials, acceptable language, respectful behavior to coaches and use of social media, one of the newest issues when it comes to sportsmanship. “In the brochure, we say social media should be used to promote teams or players, not to disrespect or sound off against others,” Walentuk said. “We always talk about the 24-hour rule that you should give yourself a 24-hour break from social media before and after a contest. Social media came on so fast and has become such a major part of this issue.” The brochure also includes a list of “10 things kids say they don’t want their parents to do,” acceptable and “out of bounds” cheers and chants, event management and a “team effort” approach to sportsmanship. “Section VII has addressed these expectations with all athletic administrators and coaches for the winter season,”

Pre-K coming to AuSable Valley, ELCS Early childhood education programs to debut in January

Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia in a statement. Studies from the National Institute for Early Education Research show that children who participate in high quality early childhood education programs “have higher cognitive test scores from the toddler years to age 21, higher academic achievement in both reading and math, and are more likely to attend a four-year college and be gainfully employed,” according to materials provided by the governor’s office, who announced the funding. “We do think it’s a win-win-win and we’re very thankful for our ability to get the funding and we think it’s going to do great things for our community,” Savage said. The Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School District received $124,480 in state funding. “We’re planning to open our pre-K classroom on Jan. 16,” said Superintendent Scott Osbourne. Nearly 1,000 children statewide will benefit from the $5 million in state investment. The state commits over $800 million to pre-K annually, serving 120,000 3- and 4-year-old students each year. “This state now spends more on education than we’ve ever spent in history,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Syracuse last week. “This state spends more per pupil on education than any state in the United States of America and I am proud of that.” ■

CLINTONVILLE | AuSable Valley and ElizabethtownLewis Central are among the 16 school districts statewide who have received state funding for pre-K programming. Both districts will introduce their programs in January. Funding was awarded to “high needs” districts based on district and student need and efforts to maximize total number of children served in pre-kindergarten programs. The AuSable Valley Central School District (AVCS) received $522,240. “It’s such a big need for our community,” said AVCS Superintendent Paul Savage. The day-long program is open to district children who turned 4 years old on or before Dec. 1, and will feature classes at Au Sable Forks Elementary and Keeseville Elementary. Classes typically contain 18 students, Savage said. There is no tuition, and the grant funding will cover teacher pay.

AuSable Valley Central and Elizabethtown-Lewis Central are the beneficiaries of state funding that will allow the districts to launch pre-K programming for the first time. File photo Pre-K is critical in a rural, high-needs school district like AVCS where day care may not always be available, Savage said. Early learning can bridge achievement gaps and help students easier transition to kindergarten, as well as provide early opportunities for social improvement. “The long-term, positive impact that investing in highquality pre-kindergarten programs is undisputed,” said state

» Tax Reform Cont. from pg. 1 The average deduction for taxpayers in the Empire State is more than $6,000 per year. But capping the tax break may also impact high-earners who would leave the state, he said Cuomo was joined on the call with Gov. Jerry Brown of California and Gov-elect Phil Murphy of New Jersey. All three came out swinging against the bill. Brown said the measure exacerbates inequality, and would further divide an already-divided nation. “It is evil in the extreme,” said Brown, who likened Republican lawmakers to “mafia thugs.” “It’s going to divide the hell out of us and give crumbs to 40 percent of the people.” Brown also criticized the bill for increasing the federal deficit by $1.5 trillion over the next decade, a measure Cuomo said was part of a calculated Republican strategy. “They are creating the debt that will then justify their second philosophical step, which is to cut government spending, and do it by hurting the poorest Americans,” Cuomo said. If signed by President Trump, the bill would give Republicans a much-needed legislative victory in a year largely devoid of them. The GOP-led House passed their version of the bill in November, and the two measures contain many of the same provisions, including doubling the standard deductions for filers. But unlike the measure that narrowly passed the House, the Senate bill contains deep changes to health care, including rolling back the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate requiring people to purchase health insurance. State officials have warned this may destabilize the state’s health insurance exchange. The Senate version would also let taxpayers deduct mortgage interest up to $1 million, and the House version would cap at $500,000. Both of New York’s senators, Kirsten Gillibrand and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have condemned the legislation, which passed 51-49. “In my long career in politics, I have not seen a more regressive piece of legislation, so devoid of a rationale, so ill-suited for the condition of the country, so removed from the reality of what the American people need,” wrote Schumer on Twitter. Trump praised Republican lawmakers. “Biggest Tax Bill and Tax Cuts in history just passed in the Senate,” he wrote on Twitter. “Now these great Republicans will be going for final passage. Thank you to House and Senate Republicans for your hard work and commitment!” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the Senate’s passage of its tax bill a “great day for the country.” House Speaker Paul Ryan praised his colleagues in the upper chamber, and said tax reform will lead to faster economic growth and trigger job creation. “For the first time since 1986, both the House and the Senate have passed a major overhaul of our nation’s tax code,” he said. “Now we will move quickly to a conference committee so we can get a final bill to President Trump’s desk.”

STEFANIK SOUNDS OFF

Now that the bill has cleared the Senate, the two chambers will start the reconciliation process. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) broke with her party and voted against the bill, citing SALT. Following her vote last month, the lawmaker said she would continue to work closely with her colleagues from

Committee will judge residents on holiday decor

“In addition to SALT, these are important provisions she will be discussing with her colleagues as the House and Senate conference on the two bills,” said Flanagin on Monday. Stefanik also believes the individual tax rates should be made permanent in any final package. The lawmaker, however, is encouraged that both plans lower tax rates and simplify the tax code. “There are many positive steps made in the plans, including lowering the corporate tax rate to make us more competitive around the globe,” Flanagin said. “Congresswoman Stefanik is also pleased that there is agreement on doubling the standard deduction and increasing the child tax credit.”

POSSIBLE LEGAL CHALLENGE Gov. Andrew Cuomo, pictured here with U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer in October, is highly critical of the tax reform bill that cleared the U.S. Senate last week.

other highly taxed states to ensure that the final tax reform package in Conference addresses those concerns. The Senate plan maintained the same SALT language as the House plan that Stefanik voted against. “She believes we need to do more to protect taxpayers in high taxed states,” said Tom Flanagin, a spokesman. “She continues to have discussions on this issue with Members of the Ways and Means Committee as well as House Leadership.” Stefanik also harbors concerns about the elimination of key deductions, including those for student loan interest, health care expenses and the limits placed on mortgage deductibility.

Cuomo has repeatedly called out the four members of the state’s Republican delegation who voted for the bill: U.S. Reps. Chris Collins, John Katko, Tom Reed and Claudia Tenney. “If they vote for this, they’re voting against the interest of their constituents, period,” he said. “A congressperson votes for this? There is no going home in my opinion.” The state, said the governor, was continuing to research their legal options. “This is double taxation, and I’m not even sure if it’s legal. We’re going to find out if it is,” he said. The governor suggested a “repeal and replace” effort would start the day after the legislation was signed into law. Murphy, too, said the Garden State is exploring legal options, which may become more evident as lawyers sift through the 500-page bill passed early-Saturday. But Brown was more circumspect. “This is a quintessentially political challenge,” he said. ■

Judges tour the village next week LAKE PLACID | Members of the Lake Placid Village Holiday Decorating Contest Committee are touring village streets next week in search of notable holiday displays. Residents and businesses interested in having their property judged should have their decorative lights on between 5-7 p.m. each night between Dec. 11-13. A panel of judges will select the properties whose decorations, in their collective opinion, represent the best of Lake Placid. Winners will be selected from several criteria, including best lights, the best overall displays, most elegant and children’s delights within four categories: residential, restaurants, lodging and retail properties. Judges are volunteer representatives from the community. Those interested should contact Bethany Valenze, events and service coordinator at the Lake Placid Visitors Bureau, at bethany@ lakeplacid.com before Dec. 11 to ensure they are not missed. This is especially important for those who are located outside the main village area, roughly bounded by Old Military Road, Route 73 to the ski jumps, Saranac Avenue to Price Chopper or past Cobble Hill Road. Winners will be announced shortly after the final judging on Dec. 15. ■
