A ribbon cutting ceremony on Oct. 6 marked the opening of the recently rebuilt Stewart’s Shop on Route 3 in the Town of Plattsburgh. The project followed a significant investment in Plattsburgh in 2016, according to Public Relations Specialist Maria D’Amelia. Upgrades at three Stewart’s Shops locations in the area totaled over $1 million. Town Supervisor Michael Cashman said that Stewart’s “should be applauded for their investment and reinvestment in the community.” To celebrate the opening, Stewart’s Shop Senior Vice President Dave Caruso presented a $1,000 check to the Plattsburgh Public Library to support the library’s plan to construct a makerspace.

Banned books brought into spotlight SUNY Plattsburgh students, staﬀ read from controversial lit By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Elaine Ostry is an English professor at SUNY Plattsburgh. She’s also a parent. So when it comes to books being challenged, a practice that often involves parents calling for controversial books to be removed from local libraries or schools, she can understand both sides.

Tim Hartnett said no books are banned at the college, and he’s unaware of any local cases of book bans or challenges. “We’re a community that’s very committed to defending the right to read,” he said. The process of banning and challenging books has a lengthy history at both the federal and local level at schools and libraries. According to “A History of the Book in America” by Paul Boyer, one of the fi rst publicized cases was the banning of Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species.” “Historically speaking, (bans) were not so much about age issues but subject,” Harnett said. But books from all viewpoints are important, he said. “Books are crucial to self expression and self education.” Shelby Cleamon, a theater major from Ithaca, chose to read Ovid’s erotic poems: “If some god said ‘live loveless,’ I’d say no.” A graduate student, Skylar Hunyadi, chose a more modern option: J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” which saw challenges throughout the world for allegedly promoting witchcraft. The choice of Professor of Theater Shawna Kelty? Judy Blume’s classic novel “Are you there God? It’s me, Margaret.” » Banned Books Cont. on pg. 7

“I teach children’s and young adult literature,” Ostry said. “They’re banned more than any other genre because parents and teachers are concerned about what children read.” Last Wednesday marked the sixth installment of SUNY Plattsburgh’s annual Banned Book Readout, part of a nationwide initiative designed to shine a light on controversial books and advocate against their censorship. Holding up a copy of John Green’s “Looking for Alaska” — the most challenged book of 2015, according to the American Library Association — Ostry says that as a parent she’s hesitant to have her daughter read the book, which contains an explicit sex scene between two high school students. “I’m a little hesitant despite being against banning books,” she said. “I’m still not sure that I want my 12 year old reading it.” But as a teacher, she knows and agrees with the author’s intent. “This issue — it’s more nuanced.” As Ostry read the sex scene aloud, a pair of male students walked past and smirked at each other. A few giggles sounded from the audience. Ostry finished the reading with a smile, and the next reader, a librarian named Elin O’Hara, took her place behind the podium.

Jointa Lime asphalt plant opens in Plattsburgh Trade Road facility will process 350 tons of material per hour, support four new jobs By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | A new asphalt plant is now open in the Town of Plattsburgh. The facility, opened by the Jointa Lime Company last Thursday, will support four new full-time jobs. “One of the best things we have going on in the North Country right now is unprecedented development. Job by job, that’s what

this is about,” said Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Michael Cashman. “You are helping to pave a bright future — see what I did there — for infrastructure in our region.” The new plant is a “continuous flow facility” with the ability to process 350 tons of asphalt per hour, said Asphalt Division Manager Steve Brenton. The Trade Road plant will constantly be making asphalt and storing it in the facility’s 600 ton storage silos, Jointa Lime Board Chairman Thomas Longe said, gesturing toward two large gray structures gleaming in the sunlight. “We’ve probably built more roads and bridges than any other contractor in New York state,” said Longe, noting the company’s work on the Northway and the Thaddeus Kosciusko Bridge in Halfmoon, Saratoga County. ■

The Jointa Lime Company last week opened a new asphalt facility in the Town of Plattsburgh.

Education tech showcased at IAM Clinton Community College opens doors to residents at Manufacturing Day By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Adorning a welder’s mask and gun, Padraic Bean welded two pieces of metal together last Thursday, slowly dragging the gun alongside a joint — leaving behind a seamless beaded line of liquid metal. But if you weren’t looking at the screen to his right, you wouldn’t have known it. The welding inspector and educator at Bombardier was operating a new teaching tool at Clinton Community College’s Institute for Advanced Manufacturing (IAM) — the Lincoln VRTEX, a virtual reality welder training system. This was just one of a few demonstrations the college showcased as part of their Manufacturing Day last week. “If we do our job right, we’ll constantly

be adding more (equipment),” said Clinton Community College Director of Advanced Manufacturing Kristopher Renadette. For the first time, community members were able to get a close look at the new 30,000 square-foot facility on campus. The facility opened for classes on Aug. 28, the first day of the new semester. A handful of residents gathered around Bean on Oct. 5 as he showcased the Lincoln VRTEX. Bean took off his helmet and pointed to a list of statistics the machine collected about his welding performance. These statistics, he said, are a great tool for teachers to use to offer targeted advice so students can improve. “One of the best things we can do as educators is provide students with a toolbox,” he said. “This program will give students a foundation in manufacturing. “We need to start building a framework for students to build their career on.” Bean asked if anyone would like to test out the technology, and a few people cycled through, laughing as they achieved a higher score than their counterpart. “All of (this) technology is amazing, but

Padraic Bean, a welding inspector and educator with Bombardier, showcased a new piece of technology at last week’s Manufacturing Day at the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing at Clinton Community College. Photo by Elizabeth Izzo only as efficient as the person operating it,” Renadette said. For that reason, course times at the IAM are dependent upon the time needed to acquire each skill, he said. “That’s standard at facilities similar to ours around the country.” As someone who hires and oversees welders

at Bombardier, Bean is excited about the potential for workforce development as a result of the new programs — but more so looking forward to expanding collaboration between the school and local companies. “If, in the future, we could shorten the lead time between hiring someone and having them on the floor — that’s exciting,” said Bean. ■

Council approves $10.6 million capital plan Infrastructure improvements, Saranac River Trail construction slated By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The Plattsburgh Common Council last week approved the city’s capital plan for 2018. Over $10.6 million in infrastructure improvements and equipment purchases are slated for next year, including re-

surfacing and water distribution updates on Maine Road, Saranac River Trail construction and purchase of a plow truck. “This is the first year in my experience that we’ve had an extended discussion about the capital budget and what we can afford to bond,” said Councilman Michael Kelly (Ward 2) at a public meeting last week. “It gave me a clear picture of what we should be shooting for in the future.” The plan was approved unanimously. Only $2.4 million, or 22 percent, is expected to come from the general fund, according to Environmental Ser-

vices Manager Jonathan Ruff. The rest is expected to be paid for through state aid, the water and sewer reserve and bonds. In the next five years over $42.9 million worth of capital improvements are on the city’s docket, with an average $1.5 million expense to the general fund per year, according to Ruff. Kelly requested a quarterly report on each capital plan so the council can keep tabs on the progress and cost of each. Last year’s capital plan — a large portion of which was scrapped due to budgetary concerns — was $7.4 million. Total appropriations for the 2018 budget are $55.7 million. ■

Dancers take to City Hall Residents dance beneath the rotunda in first series event By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | It’s common for politicians to dance around tough questions. But City Hall will host fancy footwork of another sort this fall: The Green Mountain Chapter of USA

Dance will host a series of free dance lessons in the City Hall Auditorium this season. Lights dimmed, a gentle breeze through open windows and the soft sound of shoes shifting across the wooden floor set the scene for the first session this past Saturday. The first session, which doubled as a community dance, drew a roomful of residents of all ages. An instructor showcased a few moves, and a crowd of residents eyed her elegant movements across the floor before trying them out for themselves. Th is fi rst event focused on East Coast

Swing and Waltz. However unfamiliar a resident is with the style of dance being featured, the lessons are billed as social event for beginners and experienced dancers alike, according to Paul Fuhrmeister, the organizer. “Social dancing is a fun and healthy way to spend a night on the town, get some exercise, listen to music, socialize, see old friends and make new friends,” Fuhrmeister said in a statement. “Many friendships and relationships are formed in dance classes, which are generally warm and welcoming of new and experienced dancers alike.”

The next two sessions, slated Oct. 14 and Nov. 11, will begin at 5:30 p.m. To learn more about the upcoming sessions, visit danceplattsburgh.org. ■

Chazy Central moving further into digital age New technology to benefit students, teachers

CHROMEBOOKS

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

CHAZY| Students here going to be entering the digital age even further in the coming weeks. While the district has nearly completed the setup of interactive televisions throughout the school, students in grades. 4-7 will be receiving Google Chromebooks within the next month to help further their education. “We started installing the televisions over the last week of summer and are 90 percent through the job,” Superintendent John Fairchild said. “With these, any resource can be pulled into a class and explained through media assistance.” Fairchild said the televisions are an upgrade form the SMART Boards the high school had and projectors the elementary school was using. “The interactive televisions can only enhance the lessons our teachers give in the classroom,” Elementary Principal Robert McAuliffe said. “They will be able to interact with the television and write on it with fingers, work together as an entire classroom.”

“We understand we need to prepare these students for the world and expose them to this technology,” McAuliffe said. “The most important thing is to continue the teacher interaction with our students, but we know it is important to introduce the technology and have the students and teachers interact In a different way.” For example, McAuliffe said teachers will be able to have “flip lessons,” where an instructor would post a 10-15 minute lessons to sites such as YouTube, which students would be able to watch at home. “Students would come in the next day and the teacher would be able to assess what they watched and what the need help with,” McAuliffe said. “Then, the teacher could work with the students on the more traditional homework in class, expanding in what they learned online.” McAuliffe said the new technology is needed to introduce students to the digital world. “These are not frills,” he said. “It’s stuff we have to do to prepare these kids to have those digital skills. These are not going to dominate class time, but they are tools the teacher will use to help the students.” Students will not only be able to work amongst themselves, but may also have the opportunity to work a similar projects with other schools, throughout the region. State or country.

Google Chromebooks fill a classroom at Chazy Central Rural School, as the district will soon be giving out the devices to students in grades 4-7. Photo by Keith Lobdell “That’s how the world works now,” Fairchild said. “We are more connected and this gives students a chance to experience that.”

STEM CLASS

With Chromebooks now coming to e students, Fairchild said the district decided to turn the computer lab into a STEM classroom, where students would learn more about science, technology, engineering and mathematics along with their applications in the world today. “Our job as a school is to teach the skills and have the students use the equipment that will

merge into everyday life when they grow up,” Fairchild said. “We want the kids to become more involved in these field because that is where the jobs are and will continue to be.” Lisa Woods is teaching the class, which has been a hit with students. “They love coming to it,” Woods said. “Some of the teachers have even mentioned when they talk to the kids about favorite classes, they will say STEM class. They will pick STEM over gum or recess as their favorite part of e day.” “She has really taken this new program and run with it,” Fairchild said. ■

Town OKs water rate will increase Hikes necessary to pay for infrastructure projects By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Effective Jan. 1, 2018, the Town of Plattsburgh will increase their water and wastewater rates. For residents who live in the town’s wastewater district, the increase will amount to

nearly 50 cents per 1,000 gallons — from $4.73 to $5.20, or about 10 percent — with a minimum $15 per month or $45 per quarter. This increase follows a 23 cent per 1,000 gallon increase earlier this year over last year’s rates. For those who reside in the town’s water district, which encompasses parts of Schuyler Falls and Beekmantown, the water rate will increase by 17 cents per 1,000 gallons from $1.67 to $1.84. There’s a minimum charge of $7.67 per month, or $23 per quarter. As with the wastewater rates, this increase follows an 8 cent per 1,000 gallon rate hike

earlier this year over 2016. Town Supervisor Michael Cashman said the increases can be attributed to increased need paired with the town’s ongoing water infrastructure projects. “It’s going to be a combination,” he said. “We have consistently evaluated our water rates annually.” The projects, said the supervisor, will allow the town to continue bolstering three key focuses: the health and safety of the town’s water supply, economic sustainability and development. Both increases were unanimously approved, barring a vote from Town Councilor Meg

LeFevre, who was absent.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The three-year capital plan contains nearly two dozen projects, including water tank refurbishment and pump station modernization. The town plans to disperse the cost, estimated at between $18 and $24 million, across a number of funding streams, including dipping into their reserves, taking out bonds and obtaining grant funding. Just this summer, the town secured a $500,000 Northern Border Regional Commission grant with the help of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro). ■

Lake City Local Development Corp. is reborn Coalition of business leaders aims to bolster economic development in Plattsburgh By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The Lake City Local Development Corporation (LCLDC) has been resurrected after years of dormancy. LCLDC President Doug Butdorf credits the revival of the business coalition to Plattsburgh Mayor Colin Read and new interest in downtown revitalization projects. “We’ve been reinvigorated by Mayor Read and tasked to engage the community, helping to develop significant and transformative quality of life projects that will make an impact for generations to come,” Butdorf said in a statement. “We take that pretty seriously.” The City of Plattsburgh last year was awarded $10 million in state funds as part of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative. Redevelopment of the Durkee Street lot is the largest undertaking, clocking in at just over $5 million, and a parking study related to the project is currently underway. Similar to the Local Development Corporation in the Town of Plattsburgh, the LCLDC aims to bolster economic development in the City of Plattsburgh.

One of the group’s biggest responsibilities thus far is the administration of a revolving loan fund for both start-ups and existing businesses. “The loan fund is in place to help businesses grow in our community,” Butdorf said in a statement. “It’s not the only thing we’ll focus on as an organization, but it’s one that we want our community to know about and take advantage of.” Over $1.7 million in funding is available from the LCLDC, according to member and Clinton County Legislator Chris Rosenquest (Area 9). “This is one of the easiest funds to access,” Rosenquest said. “The application is pretty straightforward.” Any business interested in applying is encouraged to contact the city’s Community Development office.

‘MEANINGFUL ROLE’

Read said that the LCLDC is the ideal tool to promote economic development in the city in ways that city government can’t: “For instance, LDCs are allowed to buy and sell properties for economic development, and as a private corporation with a benevolent purpose, can play a meaningful role in entrepreneurship and economic development,” Read said in an email. According to the LCLDC’s old website, the group’s predecessor was instrumental in the lease and purchase structure for the Bombardier manufacturing plant. Since 1995, Bombardier’s capital investment in their Plattsburgh site has totaled more than $25 million, according to their website.

“I believe that the group organized a great team, and will spur on our (Community Development Office) as our CDO in turn supports and spurs them on,” Read said. “We can provide a lot of support, and they can help us with downtown revitalization, with the attraction of investment, and with such quality of life installations as farmers’ market improvements, second floor revitalization, performance space construction, etc.”

LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK

As the LCLDC relaunches, they’re looking for feedback from the community to inform their actions moving forward. A short survey is online now at surveymonkey.com/r/ lcdccommunitysurvey. “Community engagement, and hearing from those people who will be most affected is the only way for us to be successful,” said Rosenquest. “Th is is an organization that can truly make a lasting impact in our city. The key to our success is engaging with our community and hearing from the many different perspectives that comprise our community.” The new board of directors includes Carol McLean (Irises Wine Bar and Cafe), Jeremiah Ward (North Country Food Co-Op, Cooperative Development Institute), Rosenquest, Butdorf, Zachary Latinville (James Latinville Real Estate), Scott Allen (AES Northeast) and Aaron Benner (BoireBenner Group). “I’m sure we will hear a great deal from them very soon,” Read said. ■

County mulls emergency radio replacement System upgrade could cost $7.6 million — if grants are secured By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Clinton County’s current emergency radio system was installed while Bill Clinton was still president, and according to Emergency Services Director Eric Day, it’s at the end of its life. Representatives of Motorola, the company that services the county’s system, last week presented the Clinton County Board of Legislators’ Finance Committee with a $7.6 million

estimate to replace the 23 year old system with an updated digital version. That funding total hinges on the county’s ability to secure a $2 million state grant to cover the principal, according to Motorola Area Sales Manager Lance Hamilton, and an additional annual $580,000 state grant. The list price for the system is set at just over $12 million. All of these figures, said Hamilton, are dependent upon the county signing onto an agreement by November. The county’s radio system currently serves over 55 entities, including local fire departments, the Clinton County Sheriffs Office, New York State Police and Plattsburgh International Airport among others, according to Day.

Legislator Robert Hall (Area 10) asked if the cost of the radios that serve the hospital could somehow be reimbursed by the hospital. “The hospital contributes something to every taxpayer in this county,” Day said. Legislator Mark Dame (Area 8) said that by discussing a radio system overhaul, the county is putting “the cart before the horse.” “We’ve taken on $50 million in airport debt,” he said. “It’s time to replace this system,” Day told

legislators. “We can’t get parts for the controller anymore.” If the controller dies, it will force emergency personnel to use cellphones — and during a crisis, cell towers often get overloaded, he said. “We need a system that’s reliable and will work.” Ultimately, no action was taken by the finance committee on contracting with Motorola to replace the county’s radio system. Discussions are expected to continue in the coming weeks. ■

Thoughts Guest viewpoint on Las Vegas We don’t need another epic battle It’s been nearly two weeks since we awoke to the tragic events in Las Vegas. Two weeks removed By Dan Alexander from the tragedy, we still • PUBLISHER • can’t come to grips with why this event happened. What could possibly have taken place in this man’s life to make the calculated choices he made to kill and harm so many? We’ve become accustomed to placing a motive behind these types of actions in order to understand why they occurred. With that understanding, our hope of applying preventative solutions give us peace of mind that something of this nature will be prevented in the future. Since we’ve been unable to fully understand the man’s motivation, attention has instead been placed on the attachment to the weapon called a “bumpstock” and the weapons themselves. Unimaginable events like this one leave us feeling vulnerable. Human nature demands that we resolve this feeling by taking action, for when we do we have a sense of accomplishment that helps replace vulnerability. But action in this instance, only for the sake of taking action, may have little effect on similar events, especially where mental health issues are concerned. For example, the push is on to outlaw “bump-stocks” allowing a semi-automatic weapon to perform more like the long banned automatic weapons. Unfortunately, anyone motivated enough with a diagram and 3-D printer could reproduce one on their own. Once again we hear the call for more stringent background checks. This individual passed some of our more stringent background checks already so we should question how useful further checks will be. What we fail to fully acknowledge is that government legislation can never move as fast as an evil, manipulative, or sick mind. Between the internet, advanced technology and human ingenuity, there will always be other options available for those who choose to perpetrate such acts. Law enforcement reported that high explosives were in his car. We also understand he owned two airplanes. Imagine for a minute those explosives, in his plane and the carnage he could have created crashing the plane into the crowded concert. No one can predict with certainty what’s in another person’s mind. Our best efforts remain a strong family structure where caring and watchful eyes can detect erratic behavior and a population where respect for each other and the rule of law prevails. ■

Two years after first being proposed, plans by the Saratoga & North Creek Railway to store unused train cars on state land in the southern Adirondacks has reignited controversy. Railway officials have said as many as hundreds of cars could eventually be stored on the lines north of North Creek, and in Newcomb and Minerva in Essex County. The plan predictably set up skirmishes along familiar fault lines, with environmental groups coming out squarely against the proposal, and Warren County officials warily indicating the storage of retired cars may be a way to generate much-needed revenue for the ailing railway. At first glance, hauling a fleet of mouldering train cars to state Forest Preserve and leaving them there indefinitely sounds like a bad idea — particularly considering these cars may have been used to transport hazardous materials like ethanol, benzene and crude oil. But while not ideal, we also don’t think their storage is the existential threat that environmental advocacy groups are painting it as. To be fair, Saratoga & North Creek Railway’s lack of transparency doesn’t exactly have us brimming with confidence. Railway officials first told Warren County officials regular boxcars would be stored on the railway-owned tracks and sidings. Then they changed their tune, admitting

that the cars may include tankers, including DOT-111s, a model the National Transportation Safety Board has determined are “inadequately designed to prevent punctures and breaches” in derailments. When Protect the Adirondacks raised questions about the railway’s jurisdiction, Saratoga & North Creek Railway’s parent company, Iowa Pacific, sent an unnecessarily combative and dismissive rebuke. Then we learned the railway didn’t formally contact the state Department of Environmental Conservation and Adirondack Park Agency for inquires regarding the proposal. Talk about a botched rollout. But while the public relations effort has been sloppy, and the optics terrible, we don’t really see a better solution for how the tracks should be used — or a sound legal argument that would necessitate green groups from stonewalling the effort indefinitely. The feds have jurisdiction over railways — even those that run through Forest Preserve. While the Adirondack Council has outlined a convincing case that jurisdictional preemption is not absolute under certain conditions, it is not clear that those conditions are applicable here — particularly if the tankers are thoroughly cleaned beforehand. Don’t get us wrong: We’re not advocating for storage, and it’s hard to believe that these

Stefanik’s ‘look over here’ diversions To the Editor: Why is it that we only hear about “bipartisan support” as a good thing when a politician is trying to get a law passed? Since January 2017, we have had great bipartisan opposition to poorly crafted, rushed and last-ditch health care bills put forth just to satisfy the objective to get a repeal or replace of the Patients’ Rights and Affordable Care Act. These defeats are bipartisan wins at their very best. Locally, persons impacted by this repeal and replace process continue to be concerned with Rep. Elise Stefanik’s lack of caring for their health care needs and concerns, at least as they perceive Stefanik’s actions. Joe Seeman, as quoted in The Sun, claims Stefanik obfuscates her true efforts. I agree. When Senator Bernie Sanders’ proposed single-payer insurance plan was mentioned, Stefanik’s spokesperson cited “dangerous inefficiency and delays” found in the Veteran Administration (VA). This is an example of the “look over here” diversion at which she is adept, as I have noted before. The biggest federal single-payer system is Medicare. VA is a niche program that does not represent a comparable model to single-payer health insurance for the general population. And, by the way, a federal single-payer system is portable from state to state and job to job. Not exactly inefficient. One bugaboo, not mentioned in the Sun article, is another “look over here” diversion: “I don’t want some bureaucrat telling me what doctor I can see or what treatment I can or can’t have.” As opposed to what, the CEO of a for-profit insurance company

cars can’t be instead recycled or sold for scrap. But the last thing the Adirondack Park needs is another multi-year legal battle that cobbles the collection of revenue and paints the region as a place that is patently unfriendly to business and private enterprise. We’ve seen enough of those. It’s too bad the railway can’t make the economics behind their scenic excursions work. Protect the Adirondacks floated the idea of converting the rails to a multi-use pedestrian trail not dissimilar to the Warren County Bike Trail in Glens Falls, Queensbury and Lake George. It’s a tantalizing concept. But we’re wary of more state involvement — especially when such a venture would likely be heavily subsidized by taxpayers. The Adirondack Council said the state should work with the federal government to develop a “smarter, safer” progress to decommission out-of-date tankers. We agree, and we also think with the right enforcement and monitoring by state and federal agencies, the environmental impact of the storage of train cars can be minimized. While it’s not the ideal solution, it’s a compromise, something we could all do more of in the Adirondack Park. ■ -The Sun Community News Editorial Board

I support the Schroon Lake Stewart’s

To the Editor: I too support building a new Stewart’s — it is an important part of the town’s economic and social infrastructure. Sadly, this issue has divided our town and Schroon Lake’s unique chemistry of having our neighbor’s backs. Since when do we have “them” and “us”? The other day when a resident addressed me with a blatant antiSemitic slur that was a new Schroon Lake low for me. After reviewing the plan as presented to the town, I believe the town deserves a better deal than what was proposed by Stewart’s and in my opinion the Town Board failed to negotiate with Stewart’s for a better outcome. This summer, I met with a representative from Stewart’s and raised the following questions: First, could Stewart’s adjust the site plan so the new store would be built a little further away from several neighbors with a larger buffer? The Town Board’s responsibility is to protect the interests of all the town’s taxpayers. Why should the town pay for a potentially expensive lawsuit without first attempting to resolve the neighbors’ concerns! Second, the positioning of the gas pumps perpendicular to the store could be problematic creating traffic flow problems impacting Dock Street and Route 9 and needs to be reviewed. » Letters Cont. on pg. 7 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.

» Letters Cont. from pg. 6 Third, the proposed Stewart’s store is very close to Dock Street, sitting directly across the street from the Bandstand and lakefront park. If Stewart’s would slightly shift the store away from Dock Street and landscape its Dock Street side, it would soften the impact to our park. I hoped to receive answers before the August Town Board meeting — but that never happened. There appears to be solutions for a successful outcome. The Town should negotiate on behalf of everyone’s interests. The result being an outcome that everyone can live with! Roger Friedman, Town Councilman, Schroon Lake

Schroon Lake Public Library expansion will be unveiled soon To the Editor: Excitement over the newly-expanded Schroon Lake Public Library grew all summer as the façade of the structure took shape. Last week many volunteers emptied stacks of books and DVDs. Hundreds of boxes were packed, moved into storage and the existing wall between the old and new spaces came down. The collaborative efforts of our exceptional library manager and staff, members of the board of trustees and friends of the library have resulted in the creation of a facility that will provide the services that 21st century patrons require. The expansion committee used the in-house advice of a retired school librarian, a retired administrator of school expansions and an interior design consulting firm hired by the library board. Numerous off-site visits were made to guide them in the selection of essential furnishings for the new library space.

The cost of construction is being offset by grant monies and generous contributions from patrons, community members and individuals with strong ties to Schroon Lake. The board of trustees is thankful for each donation received to date, but more is needed. Those who would still like to help furnish the new library are encouraged to send contributions to the Schroon Lake Public Library. Finally, the grand opening celebration planned for Columbus Day weekend has been postponed until later in October when contractors have completed the finishing touches.

U.S. should consider hiring vets for infrastructure projects To the Editor: I am an 85 year old widower and veteran during the Korean conflict. Of my five brothers who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam, three oldest brothers worked in the CCC and WPA, in woodlands, roads and infrastructure. Having written about them working before World War II, would it be possible to enact legislation to once again have our men and women be employed on our highways and infrastructures? Possibly to hire homeless and otherwise veterans first. The country would profit with renewed employment with these jobs repairing our roads, parks, buildings and bridges, presently in disrepair. ■ Bob Springs, Ticonderoga

From the Mayor

Are we rational? This week the Nobel Committee awarded its Nobel Prize in Economics to Richard Thaler, a behavioral economist. By Colin Read It’s the most recent • COLUMNIST • in a string of awards to those willing to question the appropriateness of the assumptions underpinning modern economics. I think the Nobel Committee is trying to tell us something. Thaler and the Nobel Committee are skeptical that people make decisions as would Star Trek’s Spock. I must agree. People surely don’t behave with full rationality. Let me begin by proffering the rationale for rationality. Economists agree that perhaps people don’t make decisions rationally, but that might not matter if we behave as if we are. If our instincts are well-aligned with rationality, then the assumption makes sense. Economists firmly hold on to the assumption of rationality because it allows the discipline to use the tools of mathematical optimization. A century ago, economics went through a transformation that firmly planted the discipline in the realm of mathematics, and all its inherent rationality. We’ve not looked back. Economics has been smitten with these powerful tools borrowed from physics and applied to the new social science. By mid-20th Century, economists were increasingly indoctrinated with this approach. You can imagine why modern economists would hold firmly to this problematic assumption, especially if there is no complete theory to replace it. But, all the wishing in the world does not make our rationality assumption sensible. It’s difficult, though, to relax a problematic theory unless there’s a better theory to replace it. A beautiful fiction trumps a messy reality. Behavioral finance and economics is profoundly effective at demonstrating the flaws of the traditional assumption of rationality. That might be reason enough to make economists a bit more skeptical of the traditional neoclassical model of economics. Humankind may never be able to fully understand how the brain works. I write that hesitantly because most all thought humankind would never fly, nor certainly fly Armstrong to the moon. But, artificial intelligence may soon be able to mimic the decisions humans make. Accordingly, behavioral economics focuses on familiar patterns of behavior rather than on predicting decisions based on mathematics. Here’s the rub. If computers may someday be able to accurately predict the irrational decisions we make, could other computers then rationally bet to profit from our own irrationality? While we may not be rational, computers might make markets so. Their programmers will get rich from our human foibles. ■

» Banned Books Cont. from pg. 1 In the quiet of the college’s Feinberg Library, the readings seemed louder than they were, booming, echoing through the space, commanding attention. For Hartnett, this event is an annual reminder of the importance of free access to books: “It just keeps it on people’s radar.” Not long after finding out that his book “Looking for Alaska” had landed on the ALA’s most challenged books list in 2015,

Green made a video response on his popular Youtube channel “Vlogbrothers.” “I don’t believe that books, even bad books, corrupt us,” Green said. “Instead I believe books challenge and interrogate. They give us windows into the lives of others and give us mirrors so we can better see ourselves. “And ultimately, if you have a worldview that can be undone by a novel, let me submit that the problem is not with the novel.” ■

Dutchess County exec outlines potential gubernatorial campaign in Essex County “I am thinking about running for governor of the state of New York,” Marc Molinaro tells Essex County Republicans By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WESTPORT | Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro said it’s typical for aspiring political candidates surfing the statewide circuit to tell audiences that their respective counties are close to their hearts. But seriously: Essex County holds a special place in his heart. After winning the election in 2011, Molinaro learned his predecessor left him with a $40 million budget gap and a degraded bond rating. “So I decided to drive all the way to Lake Placid to get drunk,” Molinaro told the crowd at the Essex County Republican Committee’s annual dinner on Saturday. A fine place, he said. But, he said: “Bobsledding in your bathing suits? I don’t understand.” Molinaro admitted he’s a jokester, much to the chagrin of his kids. But he’s dead serious about weighing a run for governor. “Yes, I am thinking about running for governor of the state of New York,” he said. Molinaro, who turns 42 on Sunday, kicked the tires of a possible campaign, cycling through many of the Republican criticisms of Gov. Andrew Cuomo: The Empire State is the most highly taxed state in the country, leading to an exodus. The tax burden is killing businesses, and state subsidies of large corporations as part of the Region-

al Economic Development Council program is not an antidote for the sluggish economy. “That is not sustainable economic development,” Molinaro said. “You cannot continue to take millions upon millions of dollars from New York state taxpayers and give it to one or two select businesses and hope that it is going to grow jobs.” Molinaro was on fire — nearly literally, as a heat lamp flared behind him in the chilly air — as he lobbed cruise missiles, accusing the second-term governor of consolidating power and allowing a culture of corruption to thrive. “It used to be three men in a room,” he said. “Now it’s one making most of the decisions, consolidating power and resources around one single person — the governor. That is not acceptable in a democracy.” First elected as a Tivoli village trustee at 18, and mayor a year later, Molinaro highlighted a career spent in the trenches of government, touting a record of fiscal responsibility, cost-cutting and replenishing his county’s fund balance. “We’re now the smallest county workforce in 35 years and were able to eliminate 112 jobs without laying off a single person,” he said. Molinaro, who also served as a state assemblyman, said that political experience might not be a bad thing. “It may not be politically correct, but I have spent every day of my adult life in elected office, and it wouldn’t be so bad if we elected a governor who actually understood the way government is supposed to function,” he said. The prospective candidate, who received food stamps as a kid after his parents split up, said Republicans need to emphasize with working class voters, learn how to speak their language and convey how they will improve the lives of the average person. “If we’re not reaching out beyond our boundaries and borders, we will not win. And if we don’t present candidates that truly send the message that we care about the people

we serve — that we are responsible to the people we serve — we will never win statewide again,” he said. A spokesman for Cuomo did not immediately respond for comment. Franklin County Republican Committee Chairman Ray Scollin told The Sun the committees in Essex, Franklin and Clinton counties are working to bring more potential gubernatorial candidates to the North Country. Scollin cited Harry Wilson, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino (who secured the nomination in 2014), state Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb and state Sen. John DeFrancisco as other prospective Republican candidates. “It’s been a conversation between the three counties to bring them up here and give people access,” Scollin said. Cuomo, a Democrat, is running for a third-

term in 2018. With a series of big-ticket progressive accomplishments paired with an increasingly outspoken stance against President Donald Trump giving the governor an increased national profile, the governor has been stoking speculation that he’s eyeing the White House in 2020. He also made trips to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico last week to survey hurricane damage. But Cuomo continues to shoot down all innuendo: “The Virgin Islands, I don’t even believe they vote for president. So if you’re running for president, there are a lot of other places to go besides the Virgin Islands — like Florida would probably be where you would have gone,” he told the WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show” last month. ■

“We were able to acquire it without putting it on the tax roll,” said Highway Superintendent Allen Racine. The new fabric-covered facility will fully house the 700,000 tons of municipal salt and sand that has been exposed on town property for years. Covering the supply will make transport easier, improve public safety, preserve the value of the mixture and help prevent salt runoff into groundwater and the Great Chazy River. “It’s going to save (money) in the long run,” Racine said. “We’re not going to waste all this salt.” The mixture should fully be moved indoors once the first snow flies, Racine said. The use of road salt for highway maintenance has come under increased scrutiny by environmental groups and local governments. Recent studies have documented a connection between sodium chlorate concentrations in bodies of water and the density of state roads in the watershed. Stakeholders held a conference in Ticonderoga last week to present scientific findings and discuss best practices for keeping North Country roads maintained during the harsh winters while also being mindful of the environmental impacts. ■

Local educator will lead puberty program Ten-week youth curriculum slated to start Oct. 22 By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | For most kids, the looming effects of puberty are hard to talk about. It’s an intimate transition period in a person’s life, and marred with awkward conversational landmines. That’s where local educator Nicole Navarro comes in. On Oct. 22, Navarro will kickstart the “Our Whole Lives” (OWL) program, a 10-week curriculum for children ages 9-12. “This program demystifies puberty, helping students transition through this often confusing time with knowledge and confidence,” Navarro said. “Youth who are taught accurate information about sex and sexuality tend to be better decision makers when it comes to this aspect of their lives.” The nationwide program first landed in Plattsburgh in 2012 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Since then, Navarro estimates that over

60 students have completed the program. “Sexuality education begins at home and continues through open and honest communication between parent/caregiver and child,” she said. “The OWL program aims to provide resources that enhance conversations about sexuality. “The curriculum covers a range of topics: health and safety, media and body image, love, family and friends, puberty and growing up, sex and gender, communication and decision making-in age appropriate language.” The OWL program is free for members of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Plattsburgh and $10 for non-members. Parents interested in enrolling their child are encouraged to attend an open information session at the fellowship on Oct. 15 at 11:30 a.m. “Sex is everywhere. Children learn about sexuality everyday regardless of what parents and caregivers, teachers, or other adults tell them or don’t tell them,” she said. “For today’s family, bombarded with messages about sex and sexuality, the OWL program offers an avenue for exploring the accuracy of those messages and how they measure up to personal values.” To learn more about this upcoming program, contact Nevarro at nicoleabyrne@yahoo.com. ■

Northern Insuring Agency recently donated $870 to the Adirondack Foundation in support of the Adirondack Diversity Initiative, an organization that develops and promotes strategies to help the Adirondack region become more welcoming and inclusive. The money represents $10 for each of the 87 years that Northern Insuring has been in business. Photo provided

Elmore SPCA By Rebecca Burdo COLUMNIST

We would love to introduce you to Platypus, a loving adoptable cat waiting for her new beginning at Elmore SPCA. Platypus is a black short-hair cat who arrived on April 28. She’s 3 years old and weighs 6.5 pounds. Platypus is a wonderfully sweet cat who was in a home where she was allowed to give birth to litter after litter. Thankfully, the cat was given to some concerned citizens who surrendered her to Elmore SPCA, along with her two kittens Opossum and Wombat, to receive vetting and to find new homes. The kittens were only about two days old when they arrived at Elmore, so poor Platypus has been here awhile. Now that her kittens are weaned and have found new homes we have spayed her, made her current on vaccinations and she has also tested negative for FeLV/FIV.

She is very sweet and playful and enjoys interacting with people. Platypus seems to be adjusting to life in the cat colony well and we feel she will do well in most homes. She is outgoing but also laid back. She enjoys receiving attention from her people but she can also entertain herself when her people are otherwise engaged. This loving and trusting cat has a lot of love to give to her new family. Won’t you consider giving her a chance in a loving home? Update: This sweetheart is such a loving cat. We are completely baffled as to why she isn’t in a wonderful home yet! A few weeks ago she started drooling, so we took her to the vet. She had a dental cleaning and some teeth pulled and she is so much happier! This happy, snuggly, healthy cat is ready to go home! Come in and meet this

lovely girl who would love to be a part of your family! Or come in and meet Charlie, a dapper and happy go lucky adoptable dog who is waiting at Elmore SPCA for his new beginning. Charlie is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix who arrived on Sept. 28. He’s 6-7 years old and weighs 52 pounds.

Charlie is an awesome dog who is a joy to have around. He was found running at large in the Town of Altona and was picked up by the dog control officer. Unfortunately, no one came forward to claim this gentle and happy go lucky dog! This boy was not having any luck at the Mooers DCO temporary shelter, so Elmore SPCA took him to get him fully vetted and to find his new home! He is a smart and attentive mutt who love to play with his people. He is a friendly old man who is spry and fun loving. He is not an assertive dog, but he also won’t be pushed around by other dogs. He has been great with the dogs he has met, but honestly, we think he prefers the company of people to other dogs. He absolutely loves his tennis balls and enjoys running around after them as they bounce! As playful as he is outside he is mellow and laid back inside. He likes to nap on the office floor and enjoys getting hugs and long pet fests! This great dog is now neutered, he is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for lyme, heart worm, ehrlichia and anaplasmosis! He is ready to meet his new family soon! ■

United Way kicks off fundraising drive Annual fundraiser seeks $725,000 goal in 2017 By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The United Way spent time with the Essex County Board of Supervisors Oct. 2 addressing the issue of poverty in the region. “Poverty is alive and well in our region,” Executive Director John Bernardi said. “It has changed the way it looks since the Great Depression to the War on Poverty in the mid 60s.” Bernardi said the working poor are working several jobs to make ends meet. But it’s barely enough for thousands of local residents. “If you are an individual who makes $12,000, the federal government would have you believe they are not in poverty,”

Bernardi said. “For an individual in Essex County, you have to be making $23,000 as an individual and a family of four needs to be making $60,000 to even begin to live without services that your departments provide.” Bernardi said the United Way is there to help municipalities to find help for the needs of their residents. “Reach out to us. Often times, people are looking for resources and they do not know where to turn,” he said. “I welcome the opportunity to get a call from each of you to help address a need and help someone out.” Lewis supervisor and new member of the United Way board Jim Monty challenged the members of the board to donate to the program. “If we all pitched in a $20 a (pay) check, that is easily $10,000 just from the board!” Monty said. “It becomes easy to so our employees when we have already led by example.” The United Way campaign goal for 2017 is $725,000. For more information, visit unitedwayadk.org. ■

Peru CSD names new superintendent Thomas Palmer comes to district from Sullivan County By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PERU | Thomas Palmer is the new superintendent at Peru Central School District (PCSD). The one-year search for a new superintendent of schools at PCSD came to an end last Thursday, with the school’s Board of Education (BOE) unanimously approving Palmer’s appointment. “I am very eager to get to work in the Peru Central School District,” Palmer said in a statement. “I am coming into a district that already has many innovative and effective programs, such as Peru Pride, ADK P-TECH and the CHISEL Project. “My goal is to continue these programs, and to seek out new educational opportunities for the students of the Peru CSD.” Palmer was the Superintendent of Schools for Tri-Valley School District, Sullivan County, for nine years. “He’s an established educational leader,” said BOE President Kim Mayer. “We look forward to working with him.”

Palmer was chosen from a pool of six candidates that went through the interview process. What made him stand out, according to BOE Vice President Bonnie Berry, was his attention to input from local stakeholders. In a public hearing held Aug. 16, Palmer said that he will have an “open door policy” for local stakeholders in an effort to build trust with the community. His top priority as superintendent, he said, will be bolstering the district’s graduation rates and inspiring students to be “lifelong learners.” Last year, 11 percent of PCSD students dropped out of school. For Palmer, a 79 percent graduation rate isn’t enough — he wants to see that number at 100 percent. He also noted his experience with coordinating hands-on work experience for students, and his dedication to improving access to technology. Former Superintendent Patrick Brimstein left the district last September. Cynthia FordJohnson has served as interim superintendent. Palmer’s term is slated to begin on Jan. 1, 2018. Ford-Johnston will stay on as a consultant to assure a smooth transition for Palmer. ■

In the battle against breast cancer, early detection is a woman’s most powerful weapon. In fact, according to the National Cancer Institute, when breast cancer is detected in an early, localized stage, the ﬁve-year survival rate is 98 percent. That’s why it is so important for all women to make breast health awareness a regular part of their healthcare routine.

A mammogram can detect breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages, and many major health organizations recommend annual mammogram screenings for women beginning at 40. Experts also recommend clinical breast exams and breast self-exams to check for breast abnormalities on a regular basis. Any woman noticing unusual changes in her breasts should contact her healthcare provider immediately. Women of all ages should speak to their doctor about his or her personalized recommendations for breast cancer screening. Share the aware on Facebook and Twitter to show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.

PLATTSBURGH | The U.S. Department of Defense will now be required to develop and improve additive manufacturing. The measure may prove to be a windfall for Norsk Titanium, the Norway-based producer of titanium parts deploying the proprietary technology. In a visit to the Plattsburgh plant last month, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer of New York said he would ensure language was included in provisions to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Schumer called the technology “amazing.” “They are already saving time and money in the building of commercial aircraft parts and I believe they could do the same for our military,” Schumer said in a statement. “Even better, they can do it right here in the North Country, providing hundreds of jobs for years to come.” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) placed similar language into the House version of the NDAA bill. The firm’s technology is used to produce

parts for Boeing’s Dreamliner 787s, among other aerospace companies. The legislation directs the Department of Defense to report to Congress on 3D printing technology, which has “tremendous potential,” said the senator, to be integrated into the military’s procurement of aviation parts and a host of other uses. “This is a great opportunity for the Department of Defense to evaluate Norsk Titanium’s FAA-approved Rapid Plasma Deposition 3D Printing, and leverage the investment both Norsk and New York State have made in this game changing technology” said Norsk President

and CEO Warren Boley in a statement. The technology, said Schumer, will allow Norsk to grow and employ hundreds of people in the North Country in the coming years. North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry Douglas said he was “confident” the Department of Defense would undertake a “meaningful assessment” of additive manufacturing technology in the coming year. “With the efficiencies and cost savings they will see, it’s hard to imagine that defense related work will not become a reality,” Douglas said in a statement. ■

In the closest contest to be found in CVAC football last Saturday, a 13-7 game was turned around when Keagan Wood ran a kick back 65 yards for a Saranac touchdown. Almost seven minutes later, Wood scored on a 15 yard run to give Saranac a 21-13 win over the Peru Indians Oct. 8. Wood finished with 51 yards and his rushing touchdown to go with his kick return, while Luke Maye had 27 rushing yards and 158 passing yards in the game, hitting Jacob Nolan on a 56-yard strike in the first quarter.

AN EVENING WITH RYAN LEAF Former NFL Quarterback, Ryan Leaf is an advocate for those struggling with mental health and behavioral health issues and encourages audiences to transform the way we think about mental health issues and addiction.

Ryan Leaf was one of the most promising collegiate football players of his time, and rivaled Peyton Manning for the Heisman trophy. In 1998, he was the number two draft pick behind Manning. Football was Leafs life, but the pressure to perform on such an elite level was more than he was prepared to deal with, ultimately leading to the demise of his professional football career, retiring in 2003.

By 2012, he was breaking into people's homes to feed his addiction. Prison followed soon alter. Leaf describes the time in prison as a time of "spiritual growth and humility': Today, Ryan Leaf is the voice for the recovery community. Out of his own desolation, Ryan hopes to inspire others to begin their road to recovery. He chooses to share his story dealing with mental health issues and substance abuse in order to reach the person who cannot yet imagine a better life for themselves.

“We’re trying to get the state of New York right now to eliminate the amount of salt it puts on Main Street in Lake Placid,” said North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi. “We all contribute, but the state contributes more. Salt is at a minimum in the Town of North Elba, but the state of New York is 100 percent.” The state Department of Transportation dispatched a panel of staffers to the conference, a prospect that heartened stakeholders. “That part of the dialogue is very important,” said Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky. Bryan Viggiani, a DOT spokesman, said the agency has long worked with local officials and advocacy groups within the Lake George watershed and statewide on road maintenance practices that protect both the environment and public safety. “What we heard at the summit was that all users of road salt — both public and private — are contributing to increased salinity in water bodies within the watershed,” Viggiani said via email. The state employs a number of best management practices to reduce salt use while still protecting motorists, said Viggiani, including reducing application rates, using automated material spreaders to control salt use, calibrating equipment routinely, using GPS in equipment and applying salt brine and alternative materials when appropriate. “It is incumbent upon every snow and ice practitioner to utilize best management practices to minimize salt use,” Viggiani said. “The New York State Department of Transportation continually refines its winter maintenance practices to provide for safe travel with minimal environmental impacts.” Navitsky said the coalition imagines a scenario in which all stakeholders benefit. “Better equipment, better approaches and better practices will make it more efficient for the towns and save them money while maintaining safe roads and protecting our environment in the long run,” he said. Ticonderoga Supervisor Joe Giordano called the research “eye opening.” “When (highway superintendents) see the bottom line — which everyone is looking at when it comes to savings — that will be a bigger take-home message as well,” Giordano said.

Road salt poses the biggest environmental threat to the Adirondack Park since acid rain, say a coalition of environmental groups, citing emerging scientific data detailing the effects on local watersheds. Photo provided/Melissa Blackall » Road Salt Cont. from pg. 1 “While my kids were in the hotel room watching television, I was out in the parking lot testing different products,” said Clemmer, CEO of SynaTek Solutions, a Philadelphia-area company that develops organic de-icing alternatives to road salt. Scientific evidence is mounting on the impacts of road salt on Adirondack lakes and watersheds. New York State is the largest user of road salt in North America. Six million tons of salt have been deposited on Adirondack roads over the past 35 years, according to the Paul Smith’s College Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI). Local soils are thin and porous, which means most of this salt ends up in ground and surface water. Levels in Lake George have increased threefold in the past * ,' four decades.

‘NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT’

Siy was among the dozens of stakeholders gathered at the 3rd annual Salt Summit in Ticonderoga last week to discuss the latest science and best practices for reducing the use of road salt. Among the keystones was an update on an innovative new pilot program designed to study salt application in the Lake George region. For the past two years, the FUND for Lake George, who

While the long-term effect of salination requires further study, the impacts may have a cascading effect on the ecosystem, impacting species at the base of the food chain like phytoplankton and zooplankton, which serve as feed for fish and amphibians. “If you see salt levels becoming too high and you’re dealing with native species in the lake that are salt-intolerant, it can upset the balance of the food web and have a dramatic effect on what everybody comes to expect when they come to Lake George,” Siy said. Salt also can leach into groundwater supplies, like in Beekmantown in Clinton County, where the town is working with the state Department of Environmental Conservation on a remediation plan for contaminated wells. While the taste can be inconvenient, there’s also more serious health concerns, including leaching from heavy metals and the impact on those with dietary restrictions. AdkAction, an advocacy group that co-sponsored the conference, is about midway through testing 400 wells throughout the Adirondack Park. “We hope it will give us a better understanding of the severity of the groundwater situation,” said Brittany Christenson, the group’s executive director. AdkAction is also researching the impacts of salt on state and private vehicles, as well as on roadway infrastructure.

DIALOGUE IMPORTANT

The AWI report revealed 84,700 tons of salt is applied to local roads, a number that rises to 108,000 for their state counterparts. The report directly tied increased chloride levels to the latter owing to a higher road density.

Reducing salinity also requires support from the general public. “Unless you do this in a way that has road safety as the paramount concern, you are not going to get broad buy-ins in reducing the use,” Siy said. AdkAction hopes their “hold the salt” campaign — which includes car magnets — will boost awareness. Others say the public will pay more attention if the issue is brought directly to their doorsteps — literally. Branch Creek, a subsidiary of SynTek Solutions, has developed a biodegradable de-icing agent called Entry. The product, Clemmer said, is designed for small-scale applications — namely a 15-foot radius outside of homes, businesses, hospitals and public sidewalks. While Entry was designed to be environmentally-friendly, customer feedback reveals the chief selling point is that it cannot be tracked indoors — not necessarily because of the environmental ramifications. But Clemmer said it’s important to keep hammering on the green elements in order to facilitate a broader public conversation. “If we’re going to be successful in reducing salt in Lake George and the Adirondack region as a whole, we need to get people that live in this community to understand that,” he said. ■

co-sponsored the conference, has been working with municipalities in the southern Adirondacks and an Ontariobased company called Viaesys to gather data. A fleet of 20 plow trucks in eight municipalities has been outfitted with monitoring devices that measures applications and tracks exactly when and how much of the substance is being deployed — including during heavy weather events — and crunches the numbers. “We do see there are a lot of potential areas of improvement — especially with training,” said Viaesys CEO Raqib Omer. “We do see some cases where a little bit of training can go a long way with the operators.” To gauge the impact on public safety, cameras have been mounted at key locations in Lake George. “We’re actually getting comparable or better results in terms of pavement conditions on those roadways with less salt,” said Siy. Stakeholders aim to then take that data and develop best practices. “There is nothing like it being done anywhere on the planet where we are connecting the dots of research and practical application of techniques to reduce the use of road salt,” Siy said.

Proposal 3 heads to voters “Forest Preserve Land Bank Amendment” will be on November ballot By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | It’s go time for supporters of Proposal 3. Voters in November will decide if they will support the “Forest Preserve Land Bank Amendment.” If approved on the ballot, the state will create a 250-acre “Health and Safety Land Account” in the Adirondacks and Catskills to aid municipalities with routine infrastructure and communications projects on state land. Wide-scale infrastructure projects are becoming increasingly common in the Adirondacks, from broadband installation, culvert and water system replacements to bridge repair and the creation of new recreational trails. But at present, the state constitution must be amended each time in order for municipalities to access Forest Preserve, a process that must be approved by two consecutive legislatures. The process can take up to three years. Passage of Proposal 3 is critical to ensuring public safety, say stakeholders, including the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages (AATV), who is leading the public outreach effort. “All of our communities have, in some way, struggled with state Forest Preserve,” said Jerry Delaney, director-at-large with the AATV. Past efforts have included telephone repair

work along a railroad bed on Route 86 between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, and upgrades to power lines Tupper Lake in 2009. It’s expected more work will be required as National Grid attempts to shore up their infrastructure following a series of power outages in the Tri-Lakes area last summer. Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber said county officials have been struggling to widen a county road near the north side of Piseco Lake to accommodate the influx of summertime visitors to three state-owned campsites, including kids on bicycles. “National Grid couldn’t get permission from the (state Department of Environmental Conservation) to even put anchors for the poles on the Forest Preserve as new installations,” Farber told New York NOW last week. The project remains uncompleted. “Those are the health and safety issues we’re really trying to address,” Farber said. Another high-profile project is the replacement of the Middletown Bridge in Warren County. The project has been stuck in neutral for seven years because the county doesn’t own the land, about two-tenths of an acre. Proposal 3 has widespread support, and has been endorsed by a broad coalition of environmental and business groups, elected officials and legislative leaders. “It’s a land bank,” said state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury). “It’s for municipalities, it’s not for private developers.” If approved, localities will work with the DEC to facilitate purchase of state-owned land — but only if there are no alternatives for the projects.

Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber is part of a coalition of government officials, environmental protection organizations, business groups and recreational enthusiasts who are asking New York State voters to vote in favor of Proposition 3, “The Forest Preserve Land Bank Amendment,” on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

“It’s going to be as parceled out as small as possible,” Delaney said. The state would then deposit the sales price into an account to purchase land elsewhere, not necessarily in the same community. Legislative approval will still be required via a vote of passage. Proposals are located on the backs of the ballots — but don’t expect poll workers to remind you: They’re prohibited from doing so. “People really need to know what this is about before going into the booth,” said North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore. There are three proposals on the ballot, and advocates are concerned that controver-

sy stemming from Proposal 1 — if the state should convene a constitutional convention — will cause voters to conflate the two issues. “We’re really nervous with all the campaigns saying ‘vote no’ on the constitutional convention,” said Little. “And it’s not clear from the writing on the ballot that it’s for the Adirondacks and Catskills,” Delaney said. Both the state Senate and Assembly approved the legislation in consecutive legislative sessions. The statewide referendum is on Nov. 7.

Stefanik: Scalise’s return an inspirational, unifying moment Stefanik urges unity in comments to Essex County GOP By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WESTPORT | Rep. Elise Stefanik (RWillsboro) believes the return of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) to the House this week speaks to the better nature of humanity and serves as a reminder that Americans can break free of the divisiveness that has taken hold across the country. “He said on the floor, ‘It wasn’t about me as an individual — it was a reminder that other countries look to the United States as an emblem of hope, and as a leader throughout the world,’” Stefanik said. Scalise spent 15 weeks in recovery after being critically wounded in June by a gunman at a congressional baseball practice. He gave a soaring speech to his House colleagues on Thursday, thanking the public for their support. “While some people might focus on a tragic event and an evil act, to me, all I remember are the thousands of acts of kindness and love and warmth that came out of this,” Scalise said. The congressman, who underwent nine surgeries, received condolences from global leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May. Stefanik, delivering comments at the Essex County Republican Committee’s annual dinner in Westport on Saturday evening, urged attendees to watch the speech and draw inspiration from what she called a “historical moment.” “So I want you to watch that speech. Because despite all of the discourse that’s happening

today, we need to continue to work together and I think this county is always a great example of doing that,” Stefanik said. The second-term lawmaker also noted the power of prayer: “So many people in this community when that happened, texted me saying they were praying for him, Republicans and Democrats,” Stefanik said. The lawmaker only gave policy a cursory mention during her brief comments. Following the defeat of the latest Republican-led effort to repeal “Obamacare” earlier this week, Congress and President Trump have pivoted to tax reform. Stefanik said on Wednesday that comprehensive tax reform is needed for a code that hasn’t been reformed since 1986. “Since that time, the tax code has grown to over 3 million words and 85,000 pages,” Stefanik said in a statement. “Th is suffocating bureaucracy and inefficiency stifles growth, kills jobs and costs hard working North Country families money that should be kept in their pockets.” Stefanik said she would continue to solicit feedback and input from constituents and businesses. “I believe that any tax reform plan should make the code fl atter, fairer and simpler for families and businesses in our district, should allow middle class families to keep more of their paychecks, and should lower taxes on our small businesses so that they can compete around the globe.” Despite the ennui in Congress, Stefanik appeared to be optimistic that Republicans continue to have a “unique opportunity” to craft and pass legislation owing to their control of Congress and the White House. The lawmaker asked attendees to boost support for Republican town and county candidates as they head towards next month’s general election.

Rep. Elise Stefanik delivered comments at the Westport Hotel on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017. “I view this as a partnership, and while I’m focused on the federal issues, there’s so much that impact your communities that you hear from your constituents that we try to be a helping hand on,” Stefanik said.

RALLYING THE TROOPS

While not up for re-election until 2018, Stefanik already faces challengers from both sides of the aisle. “Elise, as everyone knows, has nine or 10 opponents already, and the election season doesn’t really begin until next year,” State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) told attendees on Saturday. “So I think that all of us need to work really hard to keep her name out there, talk about all of the good that she has done and the things that she’s been able to do for her constituents.” Little encouraged attendees to write letters to local newspapers with letters highlighting

the lawmaker’s accomplishments, namely when it comes to constituent service. “You’ve got nine candidates out there getting their family and friends to write letters for them,” Little said. “We really need to flood the papers if you can, if you have time.” Little pumped up the crowd: “The nine of them are all going to kill each other and she’s going to win easily,” she said. Essex County Republican Committee Chairman Shaun Gillilland shared with Stefanik the reaction of U.S. Marine Corp Lieutenant General John A. Lejeune when told he was surrounded by Germans during a World War I naval skirmish. “And his answer was, ‘Good, they won’t get away from us now,’” Gillilland said. “And that’s how you should look at your opponents because you’re going to squash them like dead pumpkins.” ■

Plattsburgh parking study underway City must find parking alternatives if Durkee Street lot is developed, consultant says By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | A consultant tasked with studying parking availability in downtown Plattsburgh said the city will encounter parking issues if a multi-use building is erected on the Durkee Street parking lot without replacing those spaces elsewhere. “You’ve got 300 spots down there, and depending on what you do — if you take out all 300, and you don’t put any back, you’re probably

going to have a problem,” said Jon Forster, a consultant with Carl Walker Parking Consultants. “You’re going to make yourself a problem.” The City of Plattsburgh was awarded $10 million in state funds last year as part of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative. Redevelopment of the Durkee Street lot is the largest project, clocking in at just over $5 million. Forster hosted the first in a series of public feedback meetings last Wednesday. A handful of local business owners, lawmakers, residents and visitors attended to voice their concerns. “I think it might be better, eventually, for the city to have paid parking,” said Hope Coryer, a city visitor. “Paid parking seems to be the answer. That may need to be in our future.” John Seiden, an area developer, proposed a number of small, satellite lots be opened up throughout the city, possibly through collaboration with existing properties like St.

John the Baptist Church on Broad Street. “I don’t think one large garage is the answer,” he said. But, Seiden conceded, fees may also not be feasible. “My biggest concern is that an additional parking district fee will be tacked onto my taxes,” he said. Resident and landlord Carol Klepper said the city should add green space to the rooftops of parking garages, which she said other cities do to mitigate rainwater runoff. This parking study is a preliminary step before the city begins moving forward with the state-funded DRI. “We don’t know what’s going to happen there, but we know we’re going to disrupt it,” said Community Development Director Paul DeDominicas. More public meetings to gather community feedback are expected in the next few weeks.

“The parking study is an important step in the revitalization of our downtown,” said DeDominicas in a statement. “Not only will it identify our current needs, but it will go assist us with developing long-term solutions to parking within the city.” In the meantime, Forster and the city’s Community Development office are circulating an online survey. As of last Wednesday, the survey had received over 400 responses in just two days. “Parking is a big issue in our city,” said Mayor Colin Read in a statement. “I very much look forward to the ideas of experts who have seen solutions from other cities that will allow us the same access to great parking even as we plan to grow our downtown.” To voice your opinion on parking in the downtown core, visit surveymonkey.com/r/ plattsparking.
