Advocates fight for federal ban
Mooers officials table water, sewer feasibility study
Town gathering more community input on implementing new system within the old village By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
MOOERS — The town has tabled their sewer feasibility study until next month due to lack of interest. “Nobody wants it,” Supervisor Jeff Menard said at last week’s town board meeting. “I’m a little discouraged about it.” The study, made possible, in part, through $24,000 in federal grant funds, is intended to incorporate a main system for properties
within the old village. The grant covers 75 percent, leaving the town to pay $6,000. “I haven’t had a lot of good response,” said Menard. “I’m a little leary to spend the money if people don’t want it.” The town previously sent out surveys to households in regards to how they would feel about the water and sewer system. Little response was given back. A few attendees at the meeting stated they never received the survey. Initially, the town applied for a grant that covered the entire expense. However, due to having too many residents, they were rejected. The grant called for up to 2,000 residents, but Mooers has a little over 3,500.
Several residents at meeting brought up concern with cost. At a previous meeting, Matt Cooper of Bernier, Carr and Associates stated it would cost the town $1,700 per household yearly for both water and sewer, which is the average cost in New York State. The feasibility study would determine the exact cost of the system, which would depend on how many households participate. The more households, Menard said, the cheaper the cost. The town board decided to hold off on applying for the grant until gathering more community input. Menard said the town plans on sending out a survey to residents and hosting a meeting

Superintendent: CCRS’ taxes to increase District to maintain all programming and services for 2016-17 school year
Student-run Peru Elementary Garden promotes sustainability, teamwork PERU — Last week, Peru Elementary students experimented how many of them could fit into their new compost bin at one time. Apparently, five kids can, said Greg Badger, Peru Elementary art teacher. Teah Th e bin is the school’s newest addition Dowling Writer to its Elementary Garden. Badger, who’s also the overseer of the garden, said over 40 of his fifth and sixth grade students help upkeep the garden on a weekly basis during recess. Some students, like sixth grader Molly Martineau, participate to promote going green. “I want to help the environment,” she said. Other students, such as sixth grader Abigail Bruce, like feeling dirt in between their fingers. “I really like gardening,” she said.

The exact date is not set yet. “Cost is always an issue,” said Philip Perry, one of the few residents who opted to share their opinion with a reporter after the meeting. “But I think it’s a good idea.” “It will help us in the long run,” said another resident, Jerica Manning.

CHAZY — Chazy Central Rural School District taxpayers will see a tax hike for the 2016-17 spending plan. The tax rate of $20.67 is scheduled to rise 20 cents per $1,000 in assessed property value, or about $20 for those with a $100,000 home. The district managed to stay below the tax cap by $94 and stay just under their tax levy limit of .97 percent, said Superintendent John Fairchild. Fund balance use decreased $20,000 from last year to $550,000. Fairchild said he’s pleased with the spending plan, which was recently approved April 12. Last year, the district exceeded the tax cap. “We’re in a much better ace we have been in the past couple years,” he said. “If we wouldn’t have done it last year, we would’ve had to do it this year.” The district is facing no cuts and is maintaining all of its programming despite the state budget, he said. >> See Chazy Budget | pg. 10

NY organizations call for federal oil rail transport ban Advocates say crude oil transported by train endangers Lake Champlain, neighboring communities By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — A coalition of environmental groups and public officials gathered last week to call for a federal ban of oil transport by trains along the shorelines and communities of Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. Up to 30 million gallons of explosive crude oil is transported by train through New York communities and along the shores of Lake Champlain each week. Several organizations, businesses, foundations, cities and community leaders signed a letter to the state’s senators and representatives revealing the dangers of transporting this substance. “I feel this is a bold action,” Plattsburgh City Councilor Rachelle Armstrong said. “We need to stand up.” Explosive crude oil is a danger in itself and can cause “massive damage,” said Jim Murphy, senior counsel for the National Wildlife Federation. Outdated rail cars and aging infrastructure are other concerns. A number of tanker cars date back to the post-Civil War era, each carrying about 30,000 gallons of crude oil, accompanied by up to 100 other cars. Each train carries more than 2 million gallons of oil. “The trains snake miles over Lake Champlain,” said
Lori Fisher, executive director of the Lake Champlain Committee. “It’s a huge threat.” Derailments have occurred. In July 2013, oil cars rolled into the lakeside town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec. The crash killed 47 people, incinerated downtown and released over 1 million gallons of crude oil. More than 250 other oil carrying trains have derailed in the U.S. since 2013. Advocates of the ban say another disaster is inevitable. “It’s not a matter of if it happens,” Fisher said, “but when it happens.” The transportation, they said, not only puts at risk the region’s people, but its fish, wildlife and economy. “We think the Adirondack park is just as important as a national park,” said John Sheehan, a spokesman for the Adirondack Council. An incident could also present economic impacts. A few months ago, Stephen Henry of SUNY Plattsburgh conducted an economic impact study showing that Plattsburgh-based professional bass fishing tournaments bring in $2.2 million annually to the region. Last year, the tournaments on Lake Champlain brought in over 1,000 visitors and created almost 30 jobs, according to the North Country Chamber of Commerce. Besides recreational activities, the lake supplies water to a number of communities like Rouses Point, whose water plant services over 2,000 residents. Bill Johnston, of Westport, bought his home years ago overlooking a river and train track. Johnston, a lover of trains, is now concerned of the future of him home due to the oil cars going past his house on a day-to-day basis. “There’s no reason to take these chances,” he said. “There’s a tremendous risk.” The local advocates are hopeful the letter exploiting the danger of oil by rail transport will create a ban and protect the future of Lake Champlain, the Hudson River and their neighboring communities. “We need to protect our lake,” Murphy said. “It’s the crown jewel of our region.”

Invenergy to expand wind energy project More turbines to be added in Mooers and neighboring communities
ditional towers will be placed: two more in Clinton, one in Altona and one in Mooers. The exact cost of the wind energy project is unknown, LaBarre said, because it is too early in the process. LaBarre hopes the layout of the wind farms will be completed by the end of this month. He said the center should know if they received an RFP, or request for proposal, by this summer. The project, he said, should be implemented by 2020. The estimated $600 million project, overseen by National Grid and Anabaric, is looking at a 2017/18 start date and being in service in 2019/20.

MOOERS — The Bull Run Wind Energy Center has announced an expansion of their wind energy project. Invenergy representative Jon LaBarre announced at last week’s Mooers town board meeting that more turbines will be placed in the town, along with the other participating towns: Ellenburg, Altona and Clinton. Around 125 to 140 turbines will be put up, compared to when the project first called for 50 to 100. Initially, the project called for 300 megawatts. Now, since the project is calling for more electricity, 400 to 449 megawatts are required. The increase, LaBarre said, is due to the need of wind power to match the Vermont Green Line Project, a proposed electronic transmission line running from Beekmantown to the Green Mountain State. The development of these turbines is part of an effort to bring clean and affordable onshore wind and hydropower energy to New England. The structures within the four towns, along with ones in Franklin County, will provide the wind power, while hydropower will be supplied from Quebec. Wind power will be transported through a 400 megawatt

The cable will go 6.7 miles through Beekmantown, 40 miles under Lake Champlain and 13.3 miles to a station in New Haven, Vermont. TIMELINE OF EVENTS Two temporary towers for testing purposes are currently up in Clinton and Ellenburg. With this expansion, four ad-
TAXABLE ASSET With the Vermont Green Line project alone, Joe Rossignoli of National Grid said the project not only will create approximately 300 jobs throughout the construction process, but will guarantee a tax payment to the town of $69,913,240 over the first two decades of use. Over that time, the tax will be split upon the school district, town and its special districts. The school district will receive approximately $62 million and the town will receive about $5 million. The remainder will go toward the town’s fire and water districts. Clinton County will receive $22 million on top of the $70 tax payment to Beekmantown — totaling a $90 million taxable asset. Pictured left: On Saturday, April 16, volunteers across Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties lent their hands to the annual Day of Caring event hosted by United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc., Project H.E.L.P. at SUNY Plattsburgh and the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau. With the help of more than 600 volunteers from the three counties and students from Project H.E.L.P., over 50 projects were completed. Volunteers donated their time to 11 non-profit organizations, 34 residential areas, four non-profit tourism attractions, one library, seven food drives and street/highway clean up. Photo provided

City approves streets and sidewalks law
Downtown businesses concerned about upcoming summer season By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — Businesses expressed their concerns and confusion over new rules and regulations governing the city’s streets and sidewalks. City officials approved the amended law earlier this month after a public hearing that left business owners “dumbfounded,” said Peter Kritziotis, owner of Aleka’s, a downtown restaurant. “We all walked out confused.” The city added the article to clarify ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) rules and regulations on outdoor cafes in parking spaces and merchandise displays on sidewalks during the warmer months. The Greek restaurant owner said he somewhat understood having to make the outdoor café compliant for persons with disabilities. “I’m all for accessibility,” he said. “I will comply.” Aleka’s outdoor café currently is not accessible for handicap locals since the café is blocked by a curb. To fix this issue, Kritziotis said he intends on purchasing a foldable handicap ramp for $100 to $150 at Lowe’s. A sign will be placed on the window of the restaurant saying there is handicap assistance available. Colin Read, owner of The Champlain Wine Company, also intends on doing all he can to ensure his outdoor café is accessible to all. “I think anything that can be done to make our downtown more accessible and attractive for visitors are good innovations,” he said. Read said he believes his business already does all the things the City Council is asking. The president of the Plattsburgh Downtown Association said he’s a little concerned with this year’s Destination Downtown event. Destination Downtown, a fairly new annual summertime event, was started to bring in locals and visitors on Sundays and encourage businesses to remain open during weekends. A number of the shops and stores who participate put out tables and displays out on the sidewalks. Under the amended law, businesses now need to ensure

that at least 5-feet of their sidewalk remain available for handicap and other pedestrian traffic. “I don’t see this as hurting our event this summer,” Read said, “especially if the common council sees the wisdom of permitting an exception for sidewalk activity one or two days per year.” Calnon said the city will not uplift the rule for Destination Downtown or other events. “People should be able to use the sidewalk comfortably,” he said. “We’re not willing to change that for any event.” Kim Manion, owner of Maui North, is concerned about this upcoming summer season since sidewalk sales is a regular occurrence. The ski and snowboard business sits on a property where the sidewalk is about 5 or 6-feet wide. “Everybody needs access,” she said. “But it [sidewalk length] just seems like a lot.” Robert Poulin, executive director of the North Country Center for Independence, said according to ADA rules and regulations, as much as 40 inches of sidewalk, which equates to almost 3 and half feet, needs to be available for foot or wheelchair traffic. Calnon said the city made the decision to make it 5 feet to ensure the spirit of traveling by foot comfortably.
“If I’m walking with my family, I want to be able to walk together and not in single file,” he said. “We want to make sure we’re using the sidewalk for its primary purpose.” Sidewalks throughout the city, Calnon said, are between 5 and 14 feet. Businesses like Maui North stuck with a narrow sidewalk, he said, would be required to keep it clear or else it would be considered an obstruction. Poulin said he received many complaints about not being able to use the sidewalks. “There have been horrible instances where the sidewalks have been completely blocked,” he said. “So, I applaud the city for making this change.” While understanding this change, several downtown shops expressed concern with what will come of the future. “This is going to make things harder for us,” Manion said. “It denies our ability to make a living.” Several other businesses declined to comment due to not knowing enough about the law changes.

ever happen, you say? Seems like that’s a phrase we’ve all used a lot in this election race. But when it comes right down to sitting this one out as the party nominee or marching past the conventions to keep their respective movements going, well let’s face it, both candidates are thriving on the success each has enjoyed, confounding the pundits and the two base establishments. There is no doubt that each candidate’s proclaimed views are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Each candidate in his own way has generated a unique and overtly passionate following, exciting voters who in the past had no interest in the political system and felt completely disenfranchised by ineffective politicians who over promise and under perform. Every primary defeated candidate finds a way to, “suck it up,” and support their party’s candidate once the nominee is selected. How is this really any different? They discover the common ground that was unthinkable during the primary, bury the hatchet and enthusiastically do a 180º to begin campaigning for their formal rival. It would not be that hard to believe Trump and Sanders could be pulled together by their common campaign theme — fighting a party system that has abandoned many party faithful and teaming up for a third party independent. Remember many of their ardent followers claim they will stay home this fall. When you think about the enthusiasm, the commitment of the their supporters and the way in which they each have convincingly won so many states, it’s not hard to believe they could take their fight of reforming a broken political system into the November election versus sitting this one out. A Trump-Sanders or Sanders-Trump ticket could well be a defining moment in American politics, and for each of these individuals, who are relatively new on the national political stage as true outsiders, could pose a real threat against Clinton and Cruz, each who lack a significant command of their party loyalty. Still not convinced? Let’s face it, neither Sanders nor Trump have much of a political future beyond 2016 unless they win the nomination and then the White >> Story Continued | pg. 7

What do we learn from this?
his month, New Yorkers experienced a competitive presidential primary race for the first time since the modern system was introduced in 1972. Candidates, both Democrats and Republicans, criss-crossed the state in the attempt to seal the deal and clinch their parties’ nominations. Yay, we’re relevant! As the 37th state to vote, nominating contests are usually decided by now. Perhaps you even met one of them: Donald Trump in Plattsburgh, John Kasich in Saratoga Springs or Hillary Clinton during her Albany stump. It was pretty cool. Not because we’re starry-eyed simpletons eager for the slightest bit of attention, but rather because the spotlight appeared to kindle an energy in people — All of a sudden, everyone’s an expert in New York’s complex delegate allocations, international trade agreements and economic revitalization initiatives. While it’s easy to become cynical and jaded, it really is a big deal that the state’s 8.5 million registered Democratic and Republican voters are finally getting to sound off on a race that they’ve historically only viewed through the lenses of their television sets. We’ve grumbled privately at the ridiculousness of the system: What makes Iowans and New Hampshirites so infinitely knowledgeable? As the first states to hold contests, they host an assembly line of candidates and the associated pageantry on a quadrennial basis. After this endless round of courting, they set the stage for the rest of us by winnowing down the field. Shouldn’t we get to experience that, too? After all, they’re tiny, we’re big. We’re diverse, they’re not. And we have those famous New York values. We wrote this editorial on Tuesday, the day voters went to the polls. Chances are Trump and Clinton will have carved out decisive victories. Engines are running hot on both ends of the spectrum. Trump and Bernie Sanders, what great guys. As we’ve said previously, these two native New Yorkers have a lot in common: Supporters of both have felt traditionally disaffected by the political system, but have been drawn into activism by magnetic candidates. Both feel as if the country is at a cliff. Both feel as if the system is rigged. Both feel as if money has a toxic effect on politics. Both feel left behind. And both care deeply for their country. Seems to us this participation is a great thing regardless of the outcome. What do we learn from this? We’re fascinated how the campaigns and their coteries roll through the early voting states every four years, but yet the voters seem equally doe-eyed each time. We, as New Yorkers, surely can take away more
from our brief flirtation with presidential politics than those folks. We witnessed an interesting encounter at Trump’s Plattsburgh rally. A supporter of one candidate told another to run for office if they were so unhappy with the status quo. And the supporter said, “Maybe I will!” The two guys smiled at each other and that was it. It’d be neat if other supporters harnessed this energy somewhere after the election. We’re not saying run for office, be it a school or town board or other official capacity. While that may be the answer for some, it’s not for all. But we do believe, however, that no matter how educated you are about the issues, it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t apply them in a realistic way. Take something from each candidate you admire — be it Sanders’ idealism, Trump’s aggressiveness or Clinton’s pragmatic approach to problem-solving — and put it to use in a way that makes sense to you. Because if you get pumped and influenced by this election, and then do nothing with it after the candidates move on to other states, then it’s a wasted experience.

The Sun regularly provides two full pages of such comment space and it’s always full. Rarely will all editorial and public thoughts agree, but that’s the beauty of it, and therefore the need for it. This is a critical time for America. Like or not, it’s been thrust upon us as we wonder if our government and system are for us or against us; is our future assured or uncertain, are we at risk or are we safe? The last two decades leave these questions unanswered. People need to make their thoughts known and in a forum in which to be heard, such as The Sun. We also need professionals who can properly tell it like it is, such as Pete. Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown
Trump,Ê aÊ snake-oilÊ salesman To the Editor: Circa 1926, H L Mencken observed that “no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.” Donald Trump spews vitriol and pernicious nonsense and the gullible and misinformed lap it up. Trump is a snake-oil salesman, pure and simple (e.g., ‘Trump University’) and we have witnessed his likes before in the persons of Joe McCarthy, George Wallace, Strom Thurmond, et al. Given the 2016 domestic political circus, failed governor Palin and failed CEO Fiorina manage to achieve both unqualified acclamation and welldeserved notoriety. Really? David Hannum astutely observed that “there’s a sucker born every minute.” An alienated subculture of America has been aroused, bigotry and ugliness have emerged from the woodwork, and a shameless demagogue takes full advantage while basking in narcissistic glory. George Santayana sagely remarked that “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” In that vein, Trump has unabashedly and cynically asserted that “I love the poorly educated!” No surprise there. We ignore the lessons of history at our peril. Jim Haig Jay
SocialismÊ notÊ theÊ answerÊ toÊ Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê AmericaÕ sÊ challenges To the Editor: It is my opinion that we all are a little fed up with all the so-called promises, name calling and poll results that claim to be the answer to how the presidential election is going to turn out. The media’s free advertising for some, and hardly mentioning others running, doesn’t seem fair. Millions are being collected and spent—most going to the media. So, where does the leftover millions end up if not spent? One candidate has collected over $15 million from the so-called poor and another charges hundreds of thousands dollars just for one speech and won’t disclose what she said behind closed doors. Just think how much good could be done if those millions were used for helping—aged, or sick or for those who just need a hand up. Seems like this election is all about the money and who can collect the most and waste it! Aside from my rant about the way and how the race is moving—I am extremely disappointed about the philosophy and promise of one candidate—a professed socialist—which I connect with communism. He seems to be followed by many young people who thoughtlessly deem his messages and promises as just what they want of the man in the White House. His philosophy is un-American! Socialism is not the American way. Socialism defeats individualism, progress and the ability to get ahead in ones life. Socialism promotes the ideology that wealth is a bad thing. There really is nothing wrong with wealth. Working to better one’s self—to have a goal in life, to improve one’s ability to live in a fashion one desires is not the socialist way. Our Socialist candidate claims wealth is bad—the wealthy don’t pay enough taxes. How many taxes will he pay on the $15 million or more he has scrounged from his contributors with his empty promises? With the socialist dream, everyone has to be the same. In fact, in a socialist society, ones freedom to vote or choose how the government would be run or operate would be lost. Socialism would spell the end of the American Dream. A dream promoted by our founding fathers of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. One of the big reasons our country came to be was that there was no freedom or liberty in Europe. If one tried to promote these ideas it probably ended in a hanging! As mentioned in another article—we are the greatest and most free nation on earth. The most compassionate, giving and industrious nation existing—Socialism and those who promote it are not the answer to any of our challenges. May we be ever vigilant in our effort to preserve the greatest humanly conceived idea ever—American and its freedoms and its liberty. Edwin C. James Shoreham, VT

CombiningÊ of Ê sportsÊ teamsÊ stripsÊ schoolsÊ of Ê opportunityÊ andÊ identityÊ To the Editor: Recently, Elizabethtown (Lions) and Westport (Eagles) merged their soccer teams and became the Griffins. This has now carried into spring sports. They might like the short term addition of good players, but examples of consolidating teams not only reduces opportunities for students to participate, other such ventures haven’t shown long-term improvement in competitiveness. Beyond that, as a physical educator and coach my greatest concern is the loss of Westport’s school, and program, identity. When taking in athletes from a school that has low participation numbers and can’t field a team Westport shouldn’t give up their identity and tradition in the process. I understand the good neighbor policy, but Westport has become enablers instead of good neighbors. Westport shouldn’t change its identity because of soccer, a handful of people, or because some people think it’s cute to combine an Eagle and Lion to become some mythological creature, the Griffin. The Eagle doesn’t just belong to the previously mentioned, it belongs to all the students (athletes and non-athletes) the school, community and alumni. The works of a few are doing a great job stripping Westport of its identity. In a small rural community the school is the hub of the town. The school’s identity has been ingrained in the community, developed over generations. I find it disturbing this is happening. It’s possibly even more disturbing that the staff, students, alumni and community appear willing to give up their identity so easily. Adults and students appear to be being brainwashed with this Griffin concept. While combining of athletic programs, at times, is a solution for “fielding” teams, and many small schools have participated in this, you won’t find it the norm to sacrifice the school’s identity in the process.

InÊ responseÊ toÊ ChristopherÊ Bennett To the Editor: I’d like to take a moment to respond to Christopher Bennett’s letter in the April 9 edition of the Sun. Raising the minimum wage will in no way help the people who work for minimum wage. Can’t he foresee the never ending spiral that will create? When the minimum wage increases, so does the cost of living. You have to remember that the employer will have an increased cost to the operation of his business and has to raise the prices of his service to compensate. Yes, your employer is in his business to make a profit. Otherwise, he would also be on welfare. At one time, I also worked for minimum wage ($1.10 per hour). Through the years, I acquired the necessary skills to help me demand a higher wage. No matter what the minimum wage is, there will always be people working for minimum wage. If you don’t like working for minimum wage, get an education or learn a trade. Sitting on your butt and crying will get you nowhere. I am 75 years old and have seen the minimum wage increase throughout the years. I also saw the cost of living increase at the same time. No one will benefit from the increase in wages. It’s just a dream. There are however many people who will be hurt by the increase in wages. They are the people who have saved all their lives to have money to retire on. They are the people who have fixed incomes. The value of their dollars will decrease. When I first started working in 1957, the dollar was worth about 90 cents. Now, with the increase in the cost of living, it might be worth a quarter. I have at times, worked for a wage below the minimum. A dollar that is earned is appreciated more than a dollar that is acquired by sitting on your butt and doing nothing other than complaining. Richard Stewart North Creek

House. Their parties seem intent on not allowing that to happen. So what do these two fighters have to lose? Both are enamored with the fun they seem to be having poking the established parties in the eye and, when you think about it, both are already more independent minded than they could ever be as party conformists. A campaign built solely on the mission of reforming the American political system and “Making America Great Again” could easily pull votes from Clinton and Cruz while bringing new converts and independents to an entirely new political party. 2016 was never expected to go the way it has, but I’ve got a feeling that trend will make for a nail biter come this fall. We may be about to witness the greatest drama American politics has ever seen. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News.

COMMENTARY
Little Bits Rules of the Road Gordie Little
Columnist
D
o you remember when you took your driver’s test? Mine was in 1953. I showed up in front of the old Malone Armory with butterflies in places other than on my windshield. The course begins heading up a grade. There was no functioning emergency brake on my ’39 Ford coupe, so disaster struck as soon as tester told me to drive away from the curb. I tried to fake releasing the emergency brake with one heel on the actual brake pedal and my toe on the accelerator. The car rolled backward about two inches before the clutch engaged. I was dead in the water. I heard a gruff voice saying, “YOU FAILED.” With my chin on my chest, I went home and got permission from my dad to use his much newer Buick with an automatic transmission. I went back to Malone and passed with flying colors. We all have pet peeves. I’m far from squeaky clean, but I’ve learned many of life’s lessons the hard way and safe driving is one of them. I try to come to a complete stop at every stop sign. It’s the law. Another peeve—improper use of turn signals. I love to walk through our neighborhood and cringe as I count the vehicles at Morrisonville intersections that blow stop signs with impunity along with drivers who never use their turn signals at all. When I first took my driver’s test, we had to use hand signals. What bothers me even more is drivers who refuse to turn headlights on when they are needed or legally required. I won’t get into the different vehicles that have automatic lights, but I have found that some drivers are not aware of the distinction between parking lights and daytime running lights. Do you know how yours work and when they are legal to use? The law in this state requires drivers to have headlights on half hour after sunset and half hour before sunrise. Using high beams and low beams properly is also important for your sake and that of oncoming drivers. When you have your windshield wipers on, you must also use your headlights. Each time I drive in the rain with lights and wipers on, I count vehicles who are not complying. New York State law says you must have your headlights on anytime visibility is less than 1,000 feet. That can include a multitude of conditions. There is recent news that headlights on many newer cars are less efficient than they should be. I have a son who blew my mind when he told me some cars are so equipped that their taillights do not come on with their daytime running lights. That is a scary thought. He keeps telling me and I’m telling you--read the manual, learn the laws and think always about driving safely. I’ll try, if you will.

Chazy Budget << Continued from | p. 1
Over $75,000 has been restored to the school this year. However, the district has lost over $3 million due to the Gap Elimination Adjustment, which will be terminated in one year. “Thank God the state came through with their budget,” Fairchild said. “It wasn’t a good way to budget.” The superintendent said this year’s budget is fairly similar to last year’s. “It really is a rollover budget,” he said. One of the few changes include expanding the district’s tech support. Currently, tech support is offered one day a week. Fairchild said it isn’t enough since technology usage is growing throughout the district. Nothing has been finalized yet in terms of increasing services, he said, but $25,000 has been allocated. Other new items involve infrastructure, including two new copy machines. CCRS is currently looking into sharing services with other districts to save funds and maintain programming and services in the future. “This school is a very special place,” Fairchild said. “We hope it will continue for years to come.” A budget hearing will take place Tuesday, May 10.

PERU — The Peru Central School District approved their spending plan Tuesday, April 12. Almost $800,000 in Gap Elimination Adjustment funds have been restored to the district this year, said Superintendent Patrick Brimstein. The district plans on using the funds, in part, to hire more staff, including a first grade teacher to accommodate the influx of graduating kindergartners next year. Doing so will allow the district to add an additional classroom to reduce the number of students in the current kindergarten class, which holds 128 students. Teachers will also be added for a number of extracurricular classes, including technology, music and art for almost $200,000. Several permanent and temporary teaching aides will be hired, as well, for over $300,000. The spending plan came in below the tax cap, said Brimstein, to the tune of about $100,000. Total appropriations clock in at $45,075,047. The amount to be levvied by taxes is $16,694,537, which is about $70,000 under the cap, said the superintendent. Brimstein said he anticipates taxes to remain the same this year at $20.14 per $1,000 in assessed value. “We’re really proud of this budget,” he said. The district has lost over $15 million due to the Gap Elimination Adjustment, which will be eliminated within one year. For the students, the district intends on introducing modern equipment — getting rid of its outdated pieces — for safety concerns in its high school for about $15,000. Portable dugouts will be added to shelter incoming soccer teams, both boys and girls, from bad weather at a cost of $20,000. A new batting cage will be added for PE classes in the middle school gym for $8,000. Brimstein said the budget was possible due to years of careful spending. “We want to benefit our district in the long term,” he said. “But, most importantly, we want all our students to be successful.” To see a copy of this year’s budget, visit www.perucsd.org.

Elementary Garden << Continued from | p. 1
This year, Martineau said her fellow classmates planted mostly fruits, veggies and herbs. Badger said the school eats what the garden grows. Sometimes the herbs are used for pasta sauces and the veggies are placed on top of pizza. The new compost bin, provided by Casella Waste, acts as an organic waste basket for all the school’s leftover and scraps to produce compost. Several of the school clubs helped assist with the garden project that’s been located on the side of the elementary school for three years. While the Earth Club focuses on the gardening and composting, the Art Club takes care of the overall ambiance. Each garden plot is surrounded by ceramic sculptures and pots. Handmade bird feeders are hung on the surrounding trees. Students from Tech Club made the wooden benches. Besides students and faculty, community members also contribute as well by helping take care of the garden during the summer months. “It’s definitely a community effort,” Badger said. “It’s been improving every year.” The Elementary Garden is part of Peru 2020. The plan focuses on a vision and long-term focus on what the district intends to achieve over the next four years. The effort is broken up into five committees: innovation, well-being, connection, achievement and sustainability – the portion with the garden that involves creating a district-wide sustainability policy to enable an environmentally healthy learning and living environment. “We want to benefit in the district in the long run,” Superintendent Patrick Brimstein said. “Most importantly, we want to benefit our students.” To learn more about the Elementary Garden or Peru 2020, visit perucsd.org.

ty, and are staying that way, because they require their own well and septic tank. Most businesses looking to go into the area, Menard said, haven’t because water and sewer isn’t readily available. With the incorporation, Menard is hoping for all homeowners and business owners already in the town to stay and future ones to move in. “We need to do something with this town because it’s going to hell,” said Menard during the meeting. SEWER ISSUES Right now, each property needs to have its own sewer system. Because of some houses being in close proximity with each other, not all properties are able to place a sewage tank, leaving the owner to place their tank on an adjoining property. The current systems, Menard said, are getting old and in need of an upgrade. The new systems coming in are bigger with more drainage – leaving the town with an ultimatum of either incorporating a main sewer system or continue with individual tanks. “We want our residents to not have to worry about where their septic is going,” he said. UNDRINKABLE WATER Each property also requires its own well. The drinking water, however, isn’t desirable by the villagers. “I’m scared to drink my water,” said Koreena Van Nortwick. Van Nortwick drinks bottled water. So does Menard. “The water in this village is terrible,” he said. “It’s hard and rusty.” If the feasibility study goes as planned, Menard said they hope to incorporate a town water system by drilling bigger and deeper wells in one location. “Not everyone has to take in this new system,” he said. “But it would be beneficial to them if they did.” For more information about the water and sewer project or updates, visit www.mooersny. com.
