Champlain receives $1 million for water infrastructure project Additional funding might be used toward reducing $10.4 million loan, says mayor By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
CHAMPLAIN — The state awarded the town and village $1 million in grant funds for its municipal water infrastructure project. The project, designed to provide a reliable and safe water supply to customers within the new district, costs $13.4 million. The state funds, announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this month, join a NYS Drinking Water State grant for $2 million, awarded a year ago, leaving a $10.4 million low
interest loan, which has already been awarded, to cover the remainder. The grant, Mayor Greg Martin said, will most likely go toward reducing the $10.4 million bill by 10 percent. The taxpayers within the new water district are responsible for paying down the loan over the course of about 30 years. Town residents pay a fixed rate each quarter based on their EDUs (estimated dwelling units), a unit of measure used to estimate the amount of water used by a residence or business. The village water rate was increased from $2.98 to $4.56 per thousand gallons earlier this year. While villagers are required by village law to hook up to the water, town residents are not. But a portion of them still need to make quarterly payments regardless of whether they hook up if they’re within the new water district where the pipes are being placed.

TACKLING INFRASTRUCTURE The loan covers the design and construction phases of the project. Two water towers were constructed on West Service Road and Prospect Street for $2.5 million. Roughly eight miles of pipe will be placed along Route 11, West Service Road, New Ridge Road and a few side roads, said Martin. Bids went out last Monday for the Water Treatment Plant.

Plattsburgh preps for mausoleum takeover
LaborÊ Day Mooers Volunteer Fire Department raising funds for new pumper/tanker
MOOERS — The Mooers Volunteer Fire Department is looking forward to its 58th annual Labor Day celebration next Sunday. The day will kick off with a parade. Th ere will be live entertainment, games, a Teah garden tractor pull and raffles with over Dowling 100 prizes. Writer And who can forget the food? The annual BBQ will feature hot dogs, hamburgers, candy apples, fried dough and more, all of which will be available for eat in or take out. Most of the events will remain the same as previous years except for a performance by Completely Stranded – Plattsburgh’s improv comedy troupe. “People should come because it’s going to be a lot of fun,” said Fire Chief Dan Dumas. “Also, they’ll be able to support their local fire department.” All proceeds will go toward replacing the Mooers Volunteer Fire Department’s 1991 firetruck with a new pumper/tanker. Dumas said the truck costs between $250,000 and $300,000. The funding will come from different fundraising efforts and the capital reserve.
The first payment of the three-year-loan with no interest, which will roll over into 30 years, is over $200,000 and due Jan. 8, 2017.

Dumas is hopeful it will be in service by spring 2018. Other future projects include the installation of a new electronic sign and replacing some 20-year-old equipment. Dumas plans on seeking funding through FEMA to cover the additional improvements. The fire chief is hopeful this event will help cover some of those costs. The Mooers Labor Day celebration will take place Sunday, Sept. 4. Most of the festivities start at noon except for the garden tractor pull, which will begin at 1 p.m. Raffle tickets are available now for $1 per ticket, a book of seven for $5 or three books of seven for $10.

PLATTSBURGH — As the state prepares to hand over an abandoned mausoleum to town ownership, the municipality has adopted a series of rules governing the facility. All crypt sales at the Whispering Maples Memorial Gardens will include an amount for permanent maintenance, which will be deposited into a permanent care fund. The town will not buy back crypts. And in an attempt to curb the fire sale on crypts and niches once the news emerged that the facility was insolvent, all sales and transfers will be subject to town clerk approval. (Burial rights, however, can be donated back to the town.) The rules approved by the town board last week also include measures to regulate access and decorative issues, as well as include provisions for internment. Whispering Maples Memorial Gardens, a former nonprofit, owned and operated two mausoleums and a crematory in Plattsburgh and Ellenburg. All three properties have been under state receivership >> See Mausoleum Update | pg. 17

‘Otis Mountain’ fest to draw over 2,000
Elizabethtown music festival returns for its fourth year with 37-band lineup By Elizabeth Izzo
elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — There is only one event that attracts over 2,000 people and 30 live acts to Elizabethtown every year, and it’s coming up fast. Otis Mountain Get Down. The festival is back for its fourth year on Sept. 9-11, and with the venue almost booked to capacity, organizers expect it to be the biggest year yet. For the uninitiated, Otis Mountain is a music and arts festival hosted on an old ski hill in the heart of the Adirondacks. The venue, now simply called Otis Mountain, was once the Elizabethtown Ski Center, a public ski hill operation that ran from 1940-1959. In a 1940 editorial on the ski hill, reprinted in “Lost Ski Areas” by Jeremy Davis, a writer gushed about the beloved place: “It is refreshing that so many of both adults and younger sports fans are taking a real interest ... The Elizabethtown Ski Club merits the congratulations of the entire community. This reporter joins heartily in its recommendation.” Otis Mountain was lost for nearly 16 years, according to
“Lost Ski Areas,” until Jeff Allott purchased the property and reopened it as a semi-private ski area and music venue. Over the years, the Otis Mountain festival has seen acts of all genres and from all levels of notoriety. This year, the lineup will feature artists from as close as Elizabethtown, to as far away as France. “Personally, I’m looking forward to Kepa,” said Zach Allott, an organizer for the event and son of landowner Jeff Allott. “He’s a super cool singer-songwriter from southern France.” Kepa’s twangy, steel-sliding string sound will join the many bluesy, soulful acoustic acts playing at Otis Mountain, including the Suitcase Junket, Whisky Shivers, Upstate Rubdown and City of the Sun to name a few. But this isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill bluegrass fest: The lineup also features acts like hip hop/house DJ SnakeFoot, wild rock and rollers Ron Gallo, synthpop outfit How Sad, indie-punks Vundabar and Mosaic Foundation, a reggae group from the Finger Lakes. “Otis brings together lots of different people, because there are so many genres represented,” said Allott. “[This year] we’ll be pushing activities like hiking to round out weekend. There will also be more art.” For $50 per ticket, this weekend experience is “mind-blowingly cheap,” according to Elena Childers of Break Thru Radio.
Matt Lorenz, otherwise known as the Suitcase Junket, will return to this year’s Otis Mountain Get Down. Photo provided
But tickets are selling out fast: As of Monday, just general admission tickets are left. “We are already close to our capacity of 2,500,” said Allott. Those tickets can be found at otismountain.com. When asked where they hope the festival will be in five years, organizers said: “We hope to keep bringing people into the area to see the town.” Next week: The Sun will speak with headliners Lewis Del Mar, the Columbia Records artists who have performed at Otis Mountain in years prior, and have since been signed by one of the biggest record labels in the country. The Otis Mountain Get Down will begin Friday, Sept. 9 and run until Sunday, Sept. 11. The festival will feature three stages and over 30 artists. For more information, visit otismountain. com.

Chazy greenlights new marina
Growing number of boats on lake concern locals, raise high hopes for officials By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
CHAZY — Lake Champlain will soon be inhabited by another marina. The Chazy Planning Board has approved plans by James Carter to construct a dock and 49 moorings on Lake Champlain. Carter, a local businessman who owns the Plattsburgh Boat Basin, said the still-unnamed marina, located north of Monty’s Bay Marina on Lake Shore Road, costs over $100,000 and should be operational by next summer. Earlier this summer, several residents expressed concern over increasing traffic on the lake. “There’s so many boats out there, it’s a mess,” said Lise Corriveau at a public hearing. The Chazy resident lives Lake Shore Road close to the marina. “It’s extremely dangerous,” she said. Chazy Supervisor Mark Henry said there are almost 10 other marinas within Monty’s Bay and Dunn’s Bay along Lake Shore Road. Several officials and business owners stated the growth of marinas, both in and out of Chazy, are related to the influx of Canadian consumers.
Dragoon said during the public hearing. Henry, the Chazy supervisor, said the town holds no jurisdiction on sewage dumped into in the water, only on land. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, DEC, Clinton County Health Department and U.S. Coast Guard have jurisdiction over lake issues. “DEC received claims and concerns that boats in the marinas in the town of Chazy have been emptying their holding tanks into the lake,” said Emily Kilburn of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in an email. “However, not enough information was provided for us to take action.” Carter said the resident’s accusations of dumping sewer into the lake are false, stating that according to federal law, no boat on New York or federal waters can dump sewage overboard. At the Plattsburgh City Marina, the sewage pumpout fee is $5. “We tried to make it as cheap and easy as possible to make sure people don’t dump into Lake Champlain,” said Mayor James Calnon, who has heard sewage complaints at venues such as the Plattsburgh City Beach. Throughout the years, the beach has closed due to high levels contaminants, such as E. Coli, fecal coliform and enterococci. Calnon said one of the causes could be from human and/or animal waste. Other potential causes include organic plant life on the lakebed and heavy winds and rains. The exact source is yet to be determined through a feasibility study, which is now in the preliminary stages.
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS Carter said he decided to build a new marina, located north of Monty’s Bay Marina, to satisfy the high demand of these boaters. “Canadians are a big part of our economy,” he said. “They’re our partners, not our enemies.” City Recreation Superintendent Steve Peters said the Plattsburgh City Marina expansion also stems from that influx. About 75 percent of the marina is filled with Canadian boats, said Peters. The marina generated $112,000 in revenue this year. Peters anticipates the same for next year due to the most of the 34 slips being occupied. In order to get more customers, the city plans to add a second 32-slip dock and 30-slip wave attenuating dock. The $1.5 million project is set to be completed by 2018. SEWAGE ISSUES Chazy resident Thomas Dragoon, who lives on Lake Shore Road in Chazy, criticized the new marina for contributing to raw sewage issues. Hundreds of boats already discharge sewer directly into Lake Champlain, he said. “People are even peeing and crapping in the hedgerows,”
The growing number of boats on Lake Champlain are concerning locals but raising high hopes for town officials. Photo by Teah Dowling

Condition of Champlain building causing safety concerns Village officials fighting to get unsturdy structure taken down By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
CHAMPLAIN — A building considered a safety hazard by village officials is getting closer to being torn down. Don Wayne Patterson, owner of the brick structure on the northwest corner of Main Street and Elm Street, was supposed to appear in court Aug. 18 for not adhering to the village code in terms of property maintenance. The building is home to a number of pigeons, has an unsturdy roof, rotting eaves, shattered windows and loose bricks, said Mayor Greg Martin. “It’s a dangerous situation in the making,” he said. The Montreal resident, who declined to comment, citing a desire to “stay quiet,” requested to move the date due to being out of the area. The village court accepted his request and changed the meeting date to Sept. 22. Patterson will then plead either guilty or not guilty of endangering residents by not taking care of the property. This issue came up over a year ago when the building’s window glass fell onto the sidewalk. Initially, the board wanted Patterson to make repairs to the building, Code Enforcement Officer Michael Tetrault took a closer look around the exterior. Although Patterson denied the village access to the interior, Tetrault deemed the building unsafe. Since then, village officials put up a fence and have been fighting to take down the building. Patterson, Martin said, disagrees. “We tried to work with him,” he said. “He just doesn’t want to take on the responsibility.” Taking down the building, the mayor said, would roughly cost $300,000. Martin said Patterson, who owns two other properties in the village, has considered walking away from the building. If Patterson doesn’t pay the taxes for three years, it will be turned over to the county. If that happens, the land will be put up for auction. If no one makes a purchase, the county will decide
its fate — a process that could take years to complete. Village officials are hoping to do something sooner in order to keep the residents safe. “The building has become a public danger and it gets worse every day,” Martin said. “We need to have this problem addressed.”

Clinton County Public Health: Zika consequences can be ‘severe’ No cases of Zika yet, says county, but residents should still be wary PLATTSBURGH — The first confirmed cases of Zika virus transmitted by mosquitoes in the United States have occurred in Florida, raising concerns across the nation. The type of mosquito that transmits the Zika virus is not known to live in the North Country. The Clinton County Health Department is, however, taking measures to be sure and assess health risks posed by the mosquitoes that are common to the area. Darwyna Facteau, director of Health Care Services at the Clinton County Health Department, wants North Country residents to know what their risks are.
Mosquitoes common to our region can pass illnesses to humans such as West Nile Virus (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). “Many of the same strategies used to protect people from Zika, should be employed to protect against WNV and EEE,” said Facteau. “Such as using insect repellent and taking steps to reduce the number of mosquitoes in and around your home.” This summer, Clinton County Health Department and SUNY Plattsburgh are working together to assess the risk of WNV and EEE to local residents and to look for Aedes specimens. Eight sampling sites stretch north and south from Ausable to Champlain and west to Saranac with traps at each site. A pool of mosquitoes consists of 10-60 mosquitoes from the same location and trap. As of Aug. 1, 29 pools of mosquitoes have been sent for testing and all have come back
negative. Most of the mosquitoes trapped here this summer have been Coquillettidia perturbans, a species known to carry WNV and EEE. To date, no mosquitoes with WNV or EEE have been identified in local samples and no Aedes albopictus specimens have been found. “This is good news” said Judy Ross, principal public health sanitarian at the Clinton County Health Department. Ross cautions that even though no mosquitoes with WNV and EEE have been identified, mosquitoes capable of passing these illnesses are here and the consequences, especially of EEE, can be severe. “Residents should protect themselves from mosquito bites,” said.

Peru town court moving to new location Town to purchase old Peru Federal Credit Union building By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PERU — The town court is getting closer to moving into a new location. Peru officials took out $115,000 of its fund balance to purchase the old Peru Federal Credit Union building on Davey Drive. Currently, the court uses the town hall entrance as the inmate holding area. Attorneys generally meet with clients in the same area or in the parking lot. When a justice must conduct a private “in chambers” meeting with a defendant, the defense attorney, district attorney and sometimes family members crowd into the court’s limited office space. “We squeeze 65 people in that room every Tuesday,” Town Justice James Kirby said during an earlier town board meeting. “It’s not safe.” The board has discussed relocating the court on numerous occasions, but a vote has never been taken on the issue until last week. During those previous meetings, several suggestions arose on moving the court downstairs, adding on the back to the town hall and renting court space at another location. A new addition, Councilman Brandy McDonald said, would be too expensive. A few buildings for rent were looked at, including an empty building in the Glenwood Plaza. But the building behind McDonald’s was chosen because of its size and price. Anything besides town hall sounded good to the town officials, said Supervisor Pete Glushko. “It’s a win-win situation for everybody.” Peru is the only town in Clinton County that doesn’t have its own courtroom, but it has the third highest caseload in the county. “Defense attorneys consider this the worst courtroom in the county,” said Town Justice Larry Cabana during a former meeting. “We needed to do something to change that.” Glushko said the town is hoping to close the deal Sept. 1, in which the court plans on moving in. The court also plans on applying to the JCAP (Justice Court Assistance Program) Grant for almost $30,000 to make security upgrades. The results should be revealed sometime in October.

A
s another summer draws to an end and the days grow shorter, we try to squeeze in those summer time activities before the season changes and before we know it, we’ll find ourselves anxiously awaiting summer 2017, as we slip and chip away at the coming winter’s weather. Summer is kick back time sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. Sandwiched between family reunions, picnics, trips to the ball park and popular swimming holes and in general trying to slow down in the pace of everyday life, we should try to just soak up the opportunity to just enjoy life. I guess I’m just an old timer who remembers the days gone past and sees the issues facing the American family in a connected world that just can’t seem to be dialed in. As we pass through these changing times, it’s easy to find fault with the world today and complain about what we don’t agree with rather than appreciating what we do have. The birth of a child, a christening, a child’s birthday party, or even a child’s sporting event; these are the events that define life and defy the ages. What parent, grandparent, relative or close family friend doesn’t share the same joy today that their counterparts enjoyed at any time in the past watching our young ones grow and remembering our own youthful days? Current events will always have an impact on how the pace of life changes through the ages, but priorities are frequently self imposed. We must take stock in how we choose to live and the value we place on time, which is ever so fleeting. The calendar pages fly off the wall, or in most cases these days, off the computer screen or mobile phone as we work harder to stay focused on just keeping up. It’s easy to get so caught up in all the new technology, the massive amounts of information we have streaming into our homes and the constant demands on our time. Putting down the phone and replacing it with a neighborly visit over the fence, taking a family trip or volunteering for a charity requires nothing more than making a simple choice and sticking with it. The solution is to keep your priorities grounded, sharing time with those you love and respect, while being considerate of those who do not think like you. They are entitled to their thoughts, choices and beliefs, just as much as you are to yours. Don’t let the highly contagious political fever spoil the joys of summer. There will be plenty of time to reengage with that mess when it counts the most, during the debates and on election day. Enjoy these last fleeting days of summer. The world with all its ups and downs, scandals and threats will still be out there when fall returns. Summers are special and each summer should be filled with unique memories that last a lifetime. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News.

S
tate legislators are primed to receive a 47 percent pay raise this fall. A state-appointed panel has been weighing the boost this year for the legislature, who haven’t received an increase since 1999. Lawmakers receive a base pay of $79,500, a number that increases based on leadership positions. The increase would bring everyone to $116,900. The seven-person panel’s recommendations, due by Nov. 15, would automatically become law unless legislators vote against the bump, which also includes other state officials, including the comptroller and attorney general. This seems a bit extravagant. Lawmakers are overdue for an increase, sure, but a straight shot of 47 percent is pushing it. Imagine asking your boss for a 47 percent raise. And imagine doing so without tying it to a pretty rigorous job performance evaluation. Any future hikes should be based on merit — like meaningful ethics reform, for instance. Yes, the legislature did vote earlier this year to strip legislators convicted of corruption of their taxpayer-funded pensions earned during public service. But those reforms can be deepened to further discourage abuse. The law doesn’t extend to state workers, which means people like prison seamstress Joyce Mitchell and the former Warren County IT worker who got nabbed LETTERS

WhatÊ wouldÊ PresidentÊ TrumpÊ do? To the Editor: Republicans seem to have different views when the wind shifts. The newest bit of dumb talk centers on our country giving back $400 million that belonged to Iran dating back to President Reagan’s Executive order to do so. If President Obama didn’t get back five Americans held in Iran after the exchange of their money, Republicans would be screaming that he left them� Since our President held back on returning their money until they returned our citizens, Republicans are now saying we paid ransom. Call it what you like but the facts are the money belonged to Iran and the hostages are now free. I would guess the families of those held hostage could care less how they were released� I have to ask, “What would President Trump do” if he were in the same position? Now Trump is going after the Clinton Foundation that has spent millions saving lives and taking care of those less fortunate. This is a message from him and Republicans that they don’t carry the Christian values they espouse to have. The Clinton Foundation has a record of spending that supports its purpose of helping to relieve the pain and suffering for many.
A
for pilfering laptops from the state last month will still be eligible to cash out. The legislature should also set a cap on outside income, which for many lawmakers, often poses an unsavory dalliance with the dark side. We’d also like to see the part-time body transition to a full-time schedule. The reasoning is simple: Lawmakers should hold themselves to the same standards as the people they represent. For the working class people of the economically-depressed North Country, this might include an annual 3 percent pay raise. But a retroactive boost is ridiculous, especially considering their gold-plated health insurance packages. We like our representatives, so this is not a referendum on their performance, but rather of the body as a whole. With the corruption scandals that have roiled the state; the last-minute flurry of legislation this past June and watered-down ethics reform packages, there’s not a lot to love about the way our state government is functioning right now. We certainly shouldn’t be rewarding them with such a significant raise. The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau, Pete DeMola and Keith Lobdell. We want to hear from you. Drop us a line on our Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter, to share your thoughts.
As a Christian, I support any organization that helps those who need help. The Republican message rings hollow when it comes to caring not only for Americans but for those in the world who through no fault of their own need help. Trump now has new campaign coordinators who are tempering his outlandish outbreaks of insanity by writing on a teleprompter what he should say. Do these people believe the American public is stupid? Trump has his supporters and they will be with him to the end no matter what he says or does. These are people who care about no one but themselves and who would have fallen in with Hitler. All one has to do is watch the faces of Trump’s followers as he spews out hate in his speeches. I can assure every one that I won’t be holding my nose when I vote for Hillary Clinton as she has shown more Christian values than most who call themselves Christians. Gary Philip Guido Ticonderoga
TrumpÊ aÊ Ô wolf Ê inÊ sheepÕ sÊ clothingÕÊ To the Editor: The Sun is right to suggest that “speaking out against Trump’s toxicity is the exact type of bipartisan North Country values we want in our representative.” (“Stefanik should be more forceful in denouncing Trump,” Aug. 13 edition.) Surely, if candidate Trump was wearing a swastika, or, perhaps more appropriately, a hammer and sickle armband, we would rightly demand such a denunciation. Living in the North Country, we would expect our representatives to beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Edward Pontacoloni Lake George
ENDORSEMENT POLICY
s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-
dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75. A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate.

Elise Stefanik> Congresswoman, 21st District elise.stefanik@mail.house.gov
‘Keeping my promises’ “From my first day in Congress, I have tirelessly worked across party lines to keep my promises,” writes US Rep. Elise Stefanik
T
wo years ago, when I ran for Congress, I promised to bring new ideas and a new generation of leadership to Washington on behalf of the North Country. I promised you that my top priority would be to fight for jobs and economic opportunity for North Country families. And from the day I took the oath of office, I have worked with both Republicans and Democrats to pass key legislation to help our North Country economy grow. In Congress, we have passed important laws laying the groundwork for fundamental tax reform so we can have a flatter, fairer, simpler tax code that helps families and small businesses plan for the future. We also have passed important regulatory reform to reign in an overreaching federal government. There is more work to be done in the future, which is why I remain committed to achieving comprehensive tax and regulatory reform so our businesses can grow and create more good paying jobs for North Country families. Our District is geographically the largest Congressional District in New York State, so we understand that the quality of our infrastructure — our roadways, waterways, and bridges — is tied to the health of our economy. For the first time in a decade, we passed a bipartisan, multi-year highway bill to provide important long term investment for our infrastructure. Our economy needs predictability and certainty, and this highway bill allows us to stop passing short term, stopgap measures so that important manufacturers like Bombardier and NovaBus can plan and grow. In our region, where the transportation equipment sector employs more than 8,000 workers, passing that bill was vital, and I’m proud of my role in its enactment. Leadership in Washington also means standing up to your own party to
support economic growth at home. That’s why I voted to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, an important program for key North Country businesses across our district, including New York Air Brake, Swarovski and Belcam. The Export-Import bank ensures that job creators like these can continue to compete on a level playing field with foreign nations, while keeping manufacturing jobs here in New York and in the United States. I also promised to be a voice for commonsense reforms to our healthcare system. In my first year in office, I authored the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s auto-enrollment mandate — the largest fix to Obamacare this Congress. My legislation, signed by President Obama into law, reduces harmful penalties on individuals and employers, and protects North Country jobs. I’ve led the fight to repeal the burdensome medical device tax on firms across our district that produce products to help North Country families live healthier, safer lives. This is an especially important issue in Warren County, which is known as “catheter valley.” We were successful in securing a two-year delay in this onerous tax, leading AngioDynamics to announce that they will take the $4.3 million in savings for their business and use it to create jobs in our community. In the North Country, we understand the importance of Canada as our nation’s largest trading partner. Plattsburgh has even branded itself as Montreal’s “U.S. Suburb,” with 15 percent of its area workforce working for a Canadian or border-related employer. That is why I helped lead the effort to introduce the Promoting Travel, Commerce and National Security Act — a necessary step to finalize the preclearance agreement between the U.S. and Canada, which was reached nearly a year ago. Increasing commerce with our Canadian neighbors is a top economic priority for our region, and this legislation will help build increased economic ties while supporting travel, commerce and tourism between our two nations. This is a landmark piece of legislation for U.S. and Canadian relations and I look forward to helping move it through Congress this year. Agriculture is also critical to our North Country economy. I have cosponsored legislation to reform our H2A visa program to help our workforce, and introduced legislation to expand broadband access to rural farmers. These represent real results for the hardworking families in our district. From my first day in Congress, I have tirelessly worked across party lines to keep my promises. There is, however, much more work to be done to keep our North Country economy growing. I’m proud to serve the 21st District as a new generation of leadership in Washington. I’ll continue to fight for new ideas on behalf of the North Country – and that means working with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ALSÊ FundraiserÊ aÊ greatÊ success To the Editor: In June of 2006, the Mountain Riders Motorcycle Club hosted their first Annual ALS Motorcycle Rally & Ride. The fundraiser was in honor of Au Sable Forks native, Johnny Nixon, who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease but succumb to his illness in 2007. Ten years later, the Mountain Riders, M.C. has financially assisted numerous area residents diagnosed with ALS, maintaining our mission statement in hosting the first and only annual ALS fundraiser in the North Country Region to disburse 100 percent of the proceeds generated to those affected by this terrible disease. On behalf of the Club members, we wish to thank local motorcycle clubs, non-members, North Country businesses, community members, media outlets and organizations for their years of commitment and generosity extended through donations and sponsorships. We further wish to extend much thanks and appreciation to the families of the men and women diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease for their continued support toward the annual fundraiser. The Club is grateful to the Au Sable Forks Knights of Columbus Council for generously donating a handcrafted Adirondack-themed bench (built by Knight Member and local artisan Ted Holzer) in honor of Sister Yvonne Teresa Cusson, who was diagnosed with ALS and was this year’s recipient. We always welcome Troop B to participate in memory of retired New York state police investigators John Dwyer and Larry Bliss, who sadly passed away several years ago to Lou Gehrig’s Disease. This year, we wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to Officer McCormick for his maintaining traffic safety as the bikers departed Main Street. In marking the 10th year of the Annual ALS Fundraiser, it was truly an honor to have NYS Assemblywoman, Janet Duprey (R-Peru), as our guest speaker. The Assemblywoman is aware of the increase and concern of Lou Gehrig’s in the North Country Region and supports all advocacy and fund raising efforts hosted throughout the year. In conclusion, we thank everyone for the 10 years of support and commitment in raising thousands of dollars and continued awareness. Kevin Cobb and Craig SantaMaria Au Sable Forks
Murphy:Ê ThanksÊ forÊ MountainÊ RidersÊ support To the Editor: On Saturday, June 4th, 2016, the Mountain Riders Motorcycle Club hosted their 10th Annual A.L.S. Motorcycle Rally & Poker Run. The 10th successful year had marked my final year as a volunteer. I wish to thank the Mountain Riders, M.C. for welcoming me 10 years ago as a non-club member and entrusting me as a volunteer to coordinate the solicitation of donations for the auction, sponsors for the food and the task of preparing and submitting all advertising to the local media outlets. Over the past 10 years, I have met numerous men and women diagnosed
with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Through the tragic diagnosis bestowed upon these wonderful souls, there were often smiles, hugs, hand holding and conversations shared, uplifting everyone’s spirits. Several area residents diagnosed with A.L.S. and their families were introduced to me as strangers but today are considered my friends. Although my involvement with the disease has been in an indirect nature, the common goals to raise awareness and funds will forever bond us. As a fund raiser for over the past 15 years, I had the opportunity to make countless connections and form lasting rapports with businesses locally and as far as Florida, California and Canada. I wish to thank these businesses as well as the private donors for generously donating to the auction, food/beverage, live entertainment and venue. I also wish to thank local media outlets for their continued dedication in bringing A.L.S. awareness to the North Country Region. My heart weighs heavy in stepping down as a volunteer but my heart is filled with much thanks and appreciation for being a part of the Annual A.L.S. Fundraiser. Please join me in the continuing to support this event and all ALS Fundraisers hosted throughout the year. Kelly C. Murphy Au Sable Forks
NarrativeÊ of Ê connectingÊ IsraelÊ toÊ RussiaÊ isÊ Ô gettingÊ oldÕ To the Editor: Although I didn’t demonstrate in the cold and snow and slush in protest of the rush to war in Iraq, I do share with Jim Bullard his stance against the invasion for largely the same reasons, as I share his skepticism of Trump’s cozying up to Putin. However, hard as I try, I can’t wrap my “tired old brain” around the reasoning of his “tired old brain” as it segues from Iraq to Russia running the U.S. State Department to Congress to Israel (“Trump Vote a Vote for Putin Policies,” by Jim Bullard, Aug. 13 edition of the Valley News Sun). Take out the Iraq blunder and the gratuitous snipe at Israel and we have Mr. Bullard building a theory of conspiracy between Trump and Putin, to be sanctioned somehow by Congress. That is quite intriguing, and I wish I could say it’s amusing and fanciful. Yet, in almost the same breath as his Trump-Putin-KGB connection theory, Mr. Bullard again changes course and implies that Israel is “already largely directing” U.S. foreign policy. Not only is this a bit like saying the tail wags the dog, it is absurd and, if I may add, offensive. Israel is the only stable democracy in the Middle East whose people share many of the same values dear to us Americans. It is our good fortune to have Israel as an ally in that politically explosive corner of the world. For an enjoyable read on how this all came about, I suggest Mr. Bullard pick up a copy of David McCullough’s biography of Harry Truman. The book is available in the Clinton, Essex and Franklin County library system. He may find the story inspiring. And while he’s at it, I suggest that he look into what might be his underlying motive for off-handedly connecting our friend Israel to our nemesis Russia. It’s a narrative I’ve heard before, and it’s getting old. Bob Segall Upper Jay
COMMENTARY
The collapse of Obamacare Insurer bailouts are a waste of taxpayer dollars Phil Kerpen
Columnist
T
he health insurance exchanges that are the beating heart of Obamacare are on the edge of collapse, with premiums rising sharply for ever narrower provider networks, nonprofit health co-ops shuttering their doors, and even the biggest insurance companies heading for the exits amid mounting losses. Three states - Alaska, Alabama, and Wyoming - are already down to just a single insurance company, as are large parts of several other states, totaling at least 664 counties. UnitedHealth is pulling out completely, Humana is pulling out of 88 percent of counties it was in, and last weak Aetna strongly suggested it will be exiting, too, unless it gets bribed to stay with a huge, annual infusion of direct corporate bailout payments from taxpayers. Dealing with the wreckage will be at the top of the agenda for the new president and Congress next year, and their options will be limited especially if, as appears likely, we will continue to have divided government. The most likely outcome, then, is the muddled middle, keeping gravely ill Obamacare on life support, with the major policy fight being over the extent to which taxpayers should be forced to provide billions in corporate bailout cash infusions. Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini was pretty blatant in a recent interview with Zachary Tracer of Bloomberg. Here’s the key part: “Rather than transferring money among insurers, the law should be changed to subsidize insurers with government funds,” Bertolini said. “It needs to be a non-zero sum pool in order to fix it,’ Bertolini said.” In other words: everybody is losing money, so taxpayers need to pick up the tab. The Obama administration is already playing fast and loose with the law to shovel as many bailout bucks to insurers as they can - on top of Obamacare’s huge subsidies to lower income consumers and a penalty tax on people who don’t buy in. They shortchanged taxpayers by $3.5 billion that, contrary to law, they sent to insurance companies instead. Democrats will support legalizing these payments and authorizing even larger direct corporate bailouts on an ongoing basis as a way to keep insurance companies in the Obamacare exchanges. Republicans will be attacked as saboteurs for resisting bailout payments, but that misses the point. Direct corporate welfare to bribe companies to participate in a poorly designed program is throwing good money after bad. We won’t be able to get to a real solution until we acknowledge that Obamacare is too rigidly structured and regulated to offer products people actually want, and needs to be reformed or replaced with genuine, functioning markets that give us a much wider variety of plans. Before that can happen, Obamacare supporters need to be held accountable for the law’s manifest failures - not permitted to paper them over with billions more of our tax dollars.

EYE ON THE ARTS
Distraction and mood
I
t often feels like the passing of time is a matter of perspective. It’s as if existing somewhere is a complex equation involving distraction and mood, the combination of which determines how quickly time speeds by. Let’s say that you get out of school at 4 p.m., and it’s currently 3:50 p.m. If you’re free from stimulation, and you’re aggrieved, perhaps this ten minutes will seem like the longest of your life. Each minute will stretch out before you like an accordion; a compact structure unfolding and expanding beyond what seems reasonable. If you’re older, bogged down by work and stressed out that you will not finish on time, then it is possible that this ten minutes will, given the ironic world we live in, seem to speed by with the steady efficiency of a Japanese bullet train. Distraction and mood. In reality, time passes of its own accord. It’s our perspective that changes. Though some circumstances are unchangeable, most of the time we do have the ability to entertain ourselves and change our mood. Those things are yours to change. As always, I have a few suggestions on the arts and entertainment front. One of them will could even alter your perception of time.

City to introduce new reenactments to Battle of Plattsburgh Several events centralized around actual historical moments By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — It’s almost time to re-live the biggest moments in Battle of Plattsburgh history The city is making several efforts to combine events with reenactments for this year’s annual celebration from Sept. 8 to 11. One of them is the 5K Invasion Run & Defense of Bridge Street in honor of Aiken’s Volunteers. During the war of 1812, Aiken’s Volunteers defended the Veterans’ Bridge, formerly known as the Bridge Street Bridge, under the guidance of Captain Martin James Aiken. Aiken, a Willsboro resident born in 1791, belonged to the Essex County Militia 40th Brigade and later served as the Essex County district attorney. In 1814, the 21-year-old took action knowing the War of 1812 wasn’t going as planned. Aiken and his 20 volunteers fought alongside a local militia against British soldiers. The first attempt was unsuccessful as the Plattsburgh team
lost on Beekmantown Road. Aiken ordered his men to fall back and defend the bridge. They succeeded. Once the British lost the battle and left Sept. 11, 1814, Aiken’s Volunteers were disbanded the next day, but honored with rifles and a lifetime of remembrance on May 20, 1826 by Congress. Now, the boys are being honored again by this 5K Sunday morning, which requires to participants to pick a side (British or American), meet up near the bridge from Halsey’s Corners and fight for victory. In the afternoon, guests can make their way to the Champlain Monument to see the reenactment of the Battle of Plattsburgh Bay. Spectators along the shorelines between Wilcox Dock and the Plattsburgh City Marina will witness the large sailing ships on Lake Champlain demonstrating how the battle was fought, while City Historian John Krueger will narrate the military and naval details. Saturday morning, a tactical demonstration between British and American Troops will take place, showing how the American forces were pushed back from Culver Hill up to the artillery assault on Halsey’s Corners. “We really want to highlight the Battle of Plattsburgh sites this year,” said Sandra Geddes, promotions and special events
coordinator for the city. “We want people to take pride in our history.” The Battle of Plattsburgh will take place Sept. 8-11 throughout the city. For more information about the 5K or to register, visitwww.adirondackcoastevents.com.

Peru Central lands $2.1 million for tech expansion District seeks state approval to implement Smart Schools plan By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PERU — Peru Central School is one step closer toward merging the latest developments in the teaching and tech fields. The district submitted their technology proposal to the state for review this June and received $2,129,269 through the Smart Schools Bond Act. The board of education held a public hearing Aug. 9 and unanimously passed the plan. Now, their technology project needs to be approved by the state Department of Education. If the district receives a green light, they plan on creating a “blended learning environment” where students, from elementary to high school, will be taught using the latest technology best suited for each subject — for example, interactive televisions in elementary classrooms and handheld devices in high school classes. “It’s truly a transformational effort,” said Superintendent Patrick Brimstein. “We want to help meet their needs.”
Expanding and updating their wireless and wired networks throughout the entire campus both inside and outside is a key component of the plan. Over $800,000 will go toward these upgrades. The district started making technological changes two years ago and has since collected student, teacher and community input on how to further broaden their horizons with incorporating technology into a classroom setting. The plan also includes surveillance system upgrades, door access improvements, lockdown and mass notification systems. Close to $500,000 will be allocated toward these updates, according to the plan. The district anticipates receiving state approval sometime between this November and March 2016. The district plans to start the bidding process in spring 2017 and start construction by summer 2017. “We want to make a long term sustainable commitment to technology,” said Brimstein. To make a comment, contact Brimstein at 518-643-6002 or pbrimstein@perucsd.org. For more information or to see the plan, visit www.perucsd.org.

Annual Redford Picnic celebrates 161 years Town of Saranac working on getting historic marker to honor tradition By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
REDFORD — Supervisor Nick Carter recalled going to the Redford Picnic when he was 8 years old. At the time, his uncle Lloyd ran the pie booth and his uncle Jim was in charge of the cane booth at the annual town-wide get together that took place either on or near Aug. 15 every year. He and his brothers helped out back then and now his kids volunteer for the 161-year-old celebration, which took place last weekend. Now, Saranac wants to honor the town tradition by getting a historic marker. Town Historian Jan Couture is in the process of applying for a grant through the William G. Pomeroy Foundation. If approved, Couture’s goal is to have the marker up near the Church of Assumption for next year’s celebration. Couture was unsure of how much the historic marker costs, but she believes it’s well worth the money. “It’s not like the regular county fair,” she said. “It’s unique and filled with history.” The Redford Picnic, also known as the “15th of Redford,” started in 1855 when the Church of Assumption was dedicated.
The 161st annual Redford Picnic took place last weekend. Photos provided
The celebration back then, Couture said, was a simple local feast of roast beef made by the ladies of the church. Over the years, the event grew and added several events and contests. Each year, a celebratory mass kicks off the day. The picnic dinner of ham or roast beef follows. After, guests can play the antique horse racing game, a game of chance with pie, mini golf and coin tosses. All money raised from the event goes toward supporting the church’s renovations and other needs. And who can forget about the carousel? “You have to ride the merry-go-round,” Carter said. “It’s one of the oldest in the northeast.” The 1890s-era Armitage-Herschell carousel, equipped with the original hand-carved horses and chariots and powered by a farm tractor, has been part of the annual celebration for 106 years when a bankrupt traveling show left it behind. The most lively tradition, Couture said, is the families who participated throughout the years. “This is event brings in the same people doing what their grandparents did,” Couture said. “It really encompasses our town’s heritage and families.” For more information about this annual event, visit www.townofsaranac.com.

will know how much, if anything, will be leftover. The $3 million grant funding won’t be available until the loan is used. “We haven’t used it all yet, but we’re getting there,” Martin said. “Once we do, we’ll have a better understanding on what will happen next.” The mayor said he would like to see the grant funding be used toward alternate projects that didn’t make it into the original plan. Additions include installing extra lines, extending the main line around Northeastern Clinton Central School and fixing existing lines within the village that keep breaking. Further discussions on this, Martin said, have not been finalized yet. Both municipalities are looking toward a 2017 completion date. For updates, visit www.townofchamplain.com.

Mausoleum Update << Continued from | p. 1
since February 2015, when the state declared the facilities abandoned following reports of neglect by the former owners. The receivership is scheduled to be terminated at the end of September. Plattsburgh Supervisor Michael Cashman said a “significant amount” of repair work remains at the mausoleum on Tom Miller Road, which incurred structural damages following its construction in the early 1980s. A report last year pegged repairs at $46,849.58. In Ellenburg, costs have reached $99,619.26. State lawmakers have already secured $300,000 from the state’s executive budget for the first round of repairs. Cashman said $100,000 has been awarded so far, and those funds have been pegged to facilitate the bidding process for repairs. Total costs remain unknown. “That number is still in flux,” Cashman said, adding the state Assembly and Senate have been “fantastic to advocate for the community and to obtain the resources needed.” Plattsburgh, he said, will continue to push for the receivership until all the “i’s are dotted and the t’s crossed. “That may influence how long the receivership goes on.” A sign at the Plattsburgh facility is asking for the removal of personal items from all crypts and niches by Sept. 1. Following the official handover, the name of the facility will be known as the Town of Plattsburgh Community Mausoleum. Town officials have not had any contact with the former nonprofit, whose governing board continues to reside in the area. “We don’t anticipate that occurring,” Cashman said. Connie Goedert, the state-appointed receiver, is in the process of preparing additional documentation and organizing ownership records, many of which were destroyed in a fire at the Ellenburg office years ago. “It could be easier,” Goedert said. “It doesn’t give you a lot of history.” But, she added, “We are making headway. “It should be coming together very quickly.” Crypts at the free-standing mausoleums ranged in price from $5,930 to $12,030. By the time the state ordered the removal of the board of directors, 78 percent of the spaces in Plattsburgh had been sold; 66 percent in Ellenburg. Cashman said he anticipated the properties will be split between municipal borders. “We are anticipating the crematory will rest in the hands of Ellenburg,” he said. The status of mausoleum and crematory transition efforts in that community remains unclear. Ellenburg Supervisor Jason Dezan did not return multiple telephone calls by the time this story went to print on Tuesday.
As the state prepares to hand over the Whispering Maples Mausoleum to the town of Plattsburgh, the municipality has adopted a series of rules governing the facility. Photos by Pete DeMola

Gov. Cuomo signs ‘Tiffany Heitkamp’s’ law
Legislation strengthens penalties for boating while intoxicated offenses ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed “Tiffany Heitkamp’s” Law on Aug. 16, legislation that strengthens penalties for boating while intoxicated offenses by linking them to prior drinking while driving offenses involving a vehicle. The bill will require courts to consider prior DWI or DWAI convictions when sentencing a person for boating while intoxicated or boating while ability impaired. “Whether behind the wheel of a car or a boat, drunk drivers are a danger to themselves and a menace to others,” Cuomo said in a news release. “This new law closes this loophole and will help keep these dangerous individuals off our roads and waterways, avoiding more senseless tragedies.” Under current law, there is no linkage between prior DWI and DWAI offenses and BWI offenses. This makes it impossi-

ble to convict an individual as a repeat offender, despite prior violations of similar laws. The bill addresses this gap by linking these similar offenses and providing harsher penalties for repeat offenders. Specifically, this measure requires that a court sentencing an individual for a BWI carrying a 30-day sentence must consider any prior DWIs or DWAIs by the same individual within a five-year period. When sentencing for a BWAI carrying a 180-day sentence, the court must consider prior DWIs or DWAIs within a 10 year period. This change would require a sentencing judge to impose a higher sentence on those who repeatedly get behind the wheel in an intoxicated state, regardless of whether it is a car or a boat. “When someone has a history of operating a vehicle or vessel while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, that record should be taken into account when the individual is
sentenced,” Sen. John A. DeFrancisco (R-Syracuse) said. “Repeat offenders should be held accountable for their history of dangerous actions to help deter further tragedies. I also would like to commend MaryJo Heitkamp-France on her advocacy to help get this bill passed.” “[This bill] will honor the memory of Tiffany Heitkamp by requiring that judges take into account past DWI convictions when sentencing those convicted of Boating While Intoxicated,” Assemblyman William Magnarelli (D-Syracuse) said, “It will further deter those who repeatedly violate New York’s intoxicated operation laws.” The “Tiffany Heitkamp” bill was named after a young Syracuse-area woman who was killed in July 2006 while traveling as a passenger in a boat operated by an intoxicated person. The individual operating the boat had a record of alcoholrelated automobile incidents. However, because there was no link between prior convictions for Boating While Intoxicated, he could only be charged as if this was his first BWI.
