‘Gateway to the Adirondacks’ proposal sparks investment

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH HUDSON — Phones are already ringing in Essex County over private businesses hitching their wagon to the Gateway to the Adirondacks, the proposed $32 million project to transform the former Frontier Town theme park into a recreational hub.

Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston spent 20 minutes on the phone Friday morning with someone who he described as a “credible” potential investor.

“They’re interested in whatever property the state doesn’t take,” said Preston, who declined to identify the individual, citing the early stages of the talks.

“But it’s real,” he said.

BIG DEAL Officials in Essex County have described the plans to develop the 85-acre site, which has sat unused for nearly two decades, as a game changer.

The state, working with the state Department of Environmental Conservation and Open Space Institute, has said they will invest up to $32 million in the partnership.

Initial plans, announced Wednesday in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s executive project proposals, call for a visitors center, entertainment complex, museum space and retail space.

Campgrounds and recreational offerings are also planned along areas designated for commercial business development, including those which provide food, lodging and amenities.

Located at Exit 29, the parcel is 100 miles north of Albany, and about 120 miles from Montreal.

A tourism hub along the highly-trafficked thoroughfare has the potential to revitalize the struggling economy, say officials — especially in conjunction with Boreas Ponds, the newly acquired parcels of state land awaiting classification.

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES Essex County lawmakers have long grappled with how to resurrect the ailing property, which they seized for failure to pay back taxes.

The former theme park is essentially split into two large tracts, including one that remains under private ownership.

CuomoÊ rollsÊ outÊ big-ticketÊ environmentalÊ proposals Gov’s green visions score high marks from local environmental groups

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo is thinking green.

A series of aggressive proposals rolled out last week during his state of the state addresses offer big ticket approaches to position New York as a national leader in environmentally-friendly policies.

Those include $2 billion in clean water infrastructure funding, investments in offshore windmills and electric vehicle charging stations and a goal to significantly reduce carbon emissions over the next decade.

CLEAN WATER Drinking water systems across the state need to be upgraded, said the gov-

ernor, due to standard aging paired with increased state and federal safeguards.

The governor’s three-pronged approach would fund new “state of the art” drinking water treatment systems, replace failing water infrastructure and protect drinking water at its source.

“I want to make sure we have state of the art water filtration,” Cuomo said at Farmingdale State College on Long Island last week. “We’re protecting our water source. These are our children who are drinking it. I don’t want to find out in 10 years that our water had a chemical that was causing some disease.

We have to have the best water system in the country, period.”

The proposal came the same week the state Senate released a report revealing the discovery of “potentially dangerous contaminants” in the water supply in Newburgh, Orange County, and as the village of Hoosick Falls weighs a legal settlement with a private company over carcinogenic chemicals in their drinking water.

“We’ll have our local communities work together to come up with a joint plan so water districts cooperate and this state will fund,” Cuomo said.

Adirondack communities are facing $100 million in infrastructure needs, according to an Adirondack Council-penned report analyzing the region’s inventory.

The environmental group called the governor’s initiative a “huge game changer,” noting local governments can’t bankroll the improvements without state financing.

“These communities want to pay their fair share, but they cannot do it alone,” Adirondack Council Executive Director Willie Janeway said.

The disrepair also jeopardizes the state’s efforts to develop tourism infrastructure and accommodations, said Janeway, who tied the funding increase directly to lobbying efforts by advocates and local government officials last November. >> Story CUOMO | pg. 11

In 2014, the county put their holdings up for sale at a tax auction.

George Moore, the late Keeseville business magnate whose estate continues to own the building that anchors the site and 50 surrounding acres of what is primarily wetlands, unsuccessfully bid on the parcels, which would have unified the site.

The county engaged, and ultimately prevailed in, litigation with Moore.

Voters in North Hudson then scuttled plans for the town to purchase the acreage, and the county retained ownership.

The gateway proposal skirts the Mooreowned lands entirely, which means their development remains a dangling question mark — and surely a lucrative one. >> GATEWAY | pg. 10

Lake George Winter Carnival Gala to honor departed football star Beloved winter mainstay slated for Jan. 27

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — This year’s Lake George Winter Carnival Gala is to be dedicated to the memory of Nick Cutro Sr. who played a key role in the event’s success from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s.

This annual dinner-dance, which kicks off the renowned Lake George Winter Carnival, is to be held Friday Jan. 27 at Wild West Ranch on Bloody Pond Road off Rte. 9 south of Lake George Village.

Cutro, who founded and for 30 years operated The Boardwalk restaurant in Lake George with his wife Caroline, died Nov. 3 at the age of 80.

Cutro was chairman of the Winter Carnival from 1987 through 1995.

Current co-chairman Nancy Nichols said Cutro will always be remembered as a “major force” in the evolution of the Carnival, working to introduce many family-oriented activities to the renowned annual festival.

The 56th edition of the annual Lake George Winter Carnival is to be held over the four weekends of February.

Nichols said Cutro helped launch a variety of participatory activities to the Winter Carnival, including broomball, flag football, softball tournaments and horseshoe pitching.

“Nick’s passing this last fall has left a major impact on the Lake George community,” she said.

In addition to his many years of volunteer work in the Carnival through the 1980s and 1990s, Cutro was a National Football League scout and coach, including a tenure with the New York Jets leading up to their 1969 Superbowl championship.

In his youth, Cutro was an All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference football running back and defensive back at Ship-

pensburg University, leading his team to a conference championship in 1957.

Later, he was a football coach for Bayonne High School and St. Mary’s High School in Rutherford N.J. While serving as coach for the latter school, his team won the state championship in 1960 and 1961.

Cutro penned a memoir of his years as a coach and scout. The book, named “For the Love of the Game,” is still available on Amazon.com.

Also, Cutro owned several Bowl and Board Stores, one in Lake George, as well as in Lake Placid and New Jersey. He also owned a thoroughbred farm.

Featuring a theme of “Jewels to Jeans,” this year’s Gala dinner-dance is likely to feature participants wearing both casual and elegant articles of clothing, Nichols said.

“You may see people at the Gala in fancy designer tops over jeans,” she said.

The Gala starts with cocktails and 6 p.m.

and dinner is to be served at 7 p.m. The evening features music by the band E’town Express, dancing, auctions, and socializing both indoors and around outdoor fire pits.

Tickets, $50 per person, are available at Duffy’s Tavern, Mario’s Restaurant, Wild West Ranch and Prospect Mountain Diner as well as from Carnival committee members.

Proceeds help offset costs of the Carnival activities, presented at no charge to the public.

Counties in crosshairs with new property tax proposal

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Curbing high property taxes is again in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s crosshairs.

As part of his state of the state proposals, the governor rolled out another initiative to squash costs of local government, one of his signature issues.

The latest installment of his keystone proposal would give local taxpayers the ability to approve locally-designed plans to lower the cost of government and eliminate duplicative services.

While details are still scant, county officials would be required to create plans to share and coordinate public services with neighboring localities.

Under the plan, taxpayers would sound off during public hearings and engage with business, labor and civic leaders to reach consensus.

Taxpayers will then vote on these cost-saving plans in a referendum in November.

Cuomo, speaking on Long Island last week, said he hoped to establish New York as a “national model for government efficiency.”

‘I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING’ The governor said his property tax cap and freeze plans, first implemented in 2012, have saved taxpayers more than $17 billion through 2016, or an average of $2,100 for each taxpayer.

The burden of local property taxes on state’s residents are the highest in the nation, he said.

The median state income tax is the state tax, $1,874, he said. But $4,700 is median property, which he said the state has no control over.

“These taxes on real estate are too high,” Cuomo said at Farmingdale State College. “Local government has, in many communities, been guilty of great waste and duplication.”

Breaking with tradition, Cuomo delivered six localized addresses across the state last week, each modified with proposals for each market.

Reflecting the divide that cleaves the state, the governor detailed a large chunk of the Long Island speech to curbing property taxes, chastising localities for their high taxes.

“And I have talked to the local government all across the state and literally tried everything,” said Cuomo. “An incentive for cost savings, I’ve tried the charm offensive, I’ve tried threatening them, I’ve tried everything. I said they had to move to Jersey, whatever it took, I tried. And the only thing we got done is the cap.”

But he didn’t mention the issue at all during his speech at the University at Albany, which was directed at Capital District and North Country lawmakers.

‘WE’RE NOT TO BLAME’ The proposal has generated another round of sighs from northern New York officials who find themselves caught in the crosshairs.

“There’s a lot of things that make us happy in the governor’s proposals,” said Clinton County Administrator Mike Zurlo, “but Clinton County is certainly not to blame for high taxes.”

The five-year increase in Clinton County has been less than one half of one percent, Zurlo said.

And in the past two years, the levy has actually declined: the composite rate decreased an average of .42 percent per year, he said.

“Clinton County has a lot of consolidation and services in place,” Zurlo said, citing bulk procurement and contracts with towns for plowing and salting.

And the county will continue to look at ways to be more efficient and lower taxes, he said.

Under the governor’s proposal, shared services and efficiencies proposed in the plan must be new, and past measures will not count.

For Essex County lawmakers, this is a familiar slap in the face.

“Counties and (North Country) municipalities have been working long before the tax cap idea to share services and cut costs and keep the load on taxpayers down,” said Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland. “This is an empty proposal.”

Tom Scozzafava (R-Moriah) said the county has been at the forefront of consolidating services with towns for years, including solid waste, real property tax offices and the joint purchase of transportation equipment.

And in March, another will be added: the village of Port Henry will dissolve entirely into the town of Moriah.

“We’ve been doing this, and unfortunately, we won’t get any credit for this,” Scozzafava said.

In fact, with a tax rate of $3.25 per $1,000 in assessed value, the tax rate in Essex County is the fourth-lowest in the state behind Hamilton, Saratoga and Otsego counties.

When it comes to absolute dollars, said the governor, Westchester County’s property taxes are highest in the nation, with Nassau clocking in second, and Suffolk and Rockland counties also occupying top slots.

Rob Astorino, the Westchester County Executive who ran against Cuomo in 2014, punched back, calling his claims “utterly shameless.”

“I would remind the governor that I have never once raised the county tax levy — not for seven straight years — while Mr. Cuomo’s state mandates have ravaged county, municipal and school budgets,” said Astorino in a statement.

“Mr. Cuomo’s state mandates consume almost all of what the county collects in property taxes, leaving us with very little to actually run county government.”

Another divide is population density. In his speech, Cuomo highlighted Suffolk County for what he said was 404 local governments, all with duplicative services.

Essex County has just 22: 18 towns, 3 villages and 1 county — or 21 if you disregard Port Henry, which has already begun the consolidation process.

Another village, Keeseville, dissolved in January 2015.

MANDATE RELIEF Just nine state and federal mandated programs, said the New York Association of Counties, add up to the property tax, including social service programs, employee salaries and benefits and public safety.

“If the governor wants to reduce property taxes, then the state has to act to reduce the costs imposed on counties,” said the group in a statement.

In Essex County, those mandates constitute 85 percent of the 2017 budget, and costs are expected to grow. “(Gov. Cuomo) hasn’t put anything forward from the state side,” Gillilland said. “Case in point is his veto on the indigent defense bill.”

Cuomo vetoed that bill last month, citing the cost to the state and the lack of proper oversight if the state did take over the costs.

County officials estimated a full takeover would have saved at least $600,000 last year.

(But the takeover is still on deck for this session: The governor, according to his office, will introduce a plan for the state to fund “100 percent of the costs” necessary to extend the reforms provided for in the Hurrell-Harring settlement with “appropriate fiscal oversight” through the state budget office.)

Scozzafava said Medicaid costs are another chief culprit: New York is one of two states that counties pay a share of Medicaid costs, he said, and the county contributes $6.7 million each year.

Cuomo said the state has already picked up a lot of the costs for local government.

The state is paying the largest portion of Medicaid costs, he said.

“We paid the entire increase for Medicaid every year — over $2 billion — $1.9 billion dollars,” Cuomo said at Farmingdale State.

Initiatives to relieve counties of the cost of growth in Medicaid will save local taxpayers $3.7 billion over five years, according to materials provided by his office.

And further reforms to the state’s pension system will save the state, local governments and school districts more than $80 billion over the next 30 years.

The debate, said the governor, shouldn’t be about shifting tax burdens from one entity to another, but rather about reducing overall costs.

Under his proposal, county-drafted plans must demonstrate “real, recurring savings” in costs, he said, and not simply shift burdens to other taxpayers.

“If I pay, then you’re not really staying within the budget,” Cuomo said. “Cut the waste, cut the duplication. And give me a break.”

‘TIP OF THE ICEBERG’ Lawmakers said they are broadly supportive of the tax cap, which curtails property tax levies at the rate of inflation, usually under 2 percent.

But they simply cannot cut any more.

“I don’t know what else we can conceivably consolidate,” said Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston. “I do understand there are a lot of counties where things are out of control, but we’re painting everybody under the same brush.”

The real issue is school taxes, Preston said.

Take the town of Wilmington, for instance, where residents send their kids to two school districts: AuSable Valley and Lake Placid Central.

per $1,000 in assessed value versus $7, the numbers are wildly incongruent, said the lawmaker.

“I hear about this continually, and that’s where the problem is — the problem up here is school taxes,” Preston said.

Under the governor’s new proposal, all municipalities except New York City would be required to prepare the shared service plan, but school districts would be excluded.

Preston also said special districts pose a problem — including the EMS districts that are raising taxes to hire personnel because the decline in volunteers has jeopardized their existence.

“That’s why the state needs to delve into this instead of telling me they’re trying to do something,” Preston said. “Hiring people is costing staggering amounts of money.”

Scozzafava said the entire property tax system is antiquated and needs to be thrown out in favor of a more equitable system.

Counties, like towns, should be allowed to form their own countywide special districts that are funded through sales tax.

In doing so, everyone would share the cost, including organizations that are currently taxexempt who receive those services, including highway and road maintenance, despite not paying for them.

Scozzafava called for a flat tax — not the current ad valorem system.

“Every property owner would pay ‘X’ number of dollars,” Scozzafava said.

Now, he said: “I’m paying twice for that service, although we’re getting the exact same benefit.”

‘YOU WORK FOR ME’ Cuomo admitted there will be “tremendous opposition” to his proposal.

“The entire political class is going to be against because it’s going to be a pain in the neck,” he said. “And they’re going to call up your senators and your assemblymen and then they are not going to want to do it. Because in Albany, it’s the path of least resistance. I need you to call your senators and say, ‘You work for me, get this done otherwise you can pay my property taxes next time.’ And that’s how we’ll get it done.”

If approved by the state legislature, draft consolidation plans must be submitted to the county legislative body by Aug. 1, which then has 45 days to review the plan.

If they do nothing, the plan is automatically put on the November ballot.

If the plan is not approved by a majority of voters, the county government must prepare a new plan for approval in November 2018.

Lake George to see the light as board approves display Village board approves concert promoter’s outdoor lighting display

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — A local entrepreneur was granted temporary permission by the Lake George Village Board this month to operate an outdoor lighting display that would normally be prohibited by a prevailing local ordinance.

Sean Quirk, proprietor of King Neptune’s Lounge and promoter of various local concerts, received the board’s approval

for a display of five rotating beams of light shining upwards into the sky to promote a series of events he’s hosting through June.

The temporary permit constrains the spinning light display envisioned for King Neptune’s parking lot to the hours of 9 p.m. to midnight for a half-dozen or so events planned by Quirk through June.

The board unanimously approved the special permit, subject to re-evaluation by the board in early summer for additional events Quirk is planning for the remainder of the year.

Quirk plans to host a concert headlining the nationally renowned band Rusted Root, and another featuring the regional

The Donnelly Beach Winter Recreation area in Minerva was the place to be on Saturday, January 14. Terrific hill-sliding and broom ball conditions led to a great time for the nearly 35 folks who showed up for a little mid-January outdoor fun. Sponsored by the Minerva Youth Commission, the event centered around the town warming hut, where hot dogs, snacks and hot chocolate were available for all participants. Another fun event at the town’s sliding hill and skating rink will be scheduled in February.

favorite group Wild Adriatic, which has been gaining notoriety across the U.S. and abroad.

Lake George Village Mayor Robert Blais expressed support for the special permit.

“I’m ticked to death when something like this brings more people to the village, especially off-season,” he said.

In other business, Blais raised concerns about the village firefighters driving fire trucks to routine EMS calls.

The village received a $13,000 insurance surcharge last year due to the fire department’s new procedure of dispatching fire trucks to go out on such medical calls.

Blais said that village fire department officials say the trucks and personnel are only dispatched on Priority One calls, but village records indicate they are actually responding to many others as well.

Blais called for examining the agency’s dispatch records and consider changing village policy to set limits on such response.

“We don’t have the extra $13,000 or more in our budget to pay for this,” he said.

Also, the village board discussed increasing the number of permits issued to street entertainers, both to provide additional attractions for tourists, and to raise additional money for the village government. The board talked about raising the fee for such entertainers to $75 per season. The proposal is to be revisited at the February village board meeting.

In other business, the village board: • appointed Amanda Metzger of the Lake George Chamber of Commerce to serve on the joint Village-Town Occupancy Tax Committee, to replace Joe DeSatis, who has resigned from the post.

• decided that village elections will be conducted with paper ballots, since the state prohibited the use of mechanical lever-operated voting machines in municipal elections. Board members said the use of the newer computerized ballot-reading machines would require extra expense in maintenance and monitoring, which would be costly.

• approved a plan to locate two public electric-vehicle charging stations in the village — each one is to feature two charging ports. One of the stations is to be situated in the James St. public parking lot, and the other, behind the town hall. Policies are to be developed to detail hours of operation, fees, and other aspects of use. The chargers are to be funded by a state grant.

Memories come flooding in It has been a pleasure that I was able to strike a cord in the memories of several good readers upon topics written in this column in the last few weeks. I wrote on Jan. 17 about McKinney’s store which once existed in Lewisville (River Street) in Warrensburg. This story stemmed from a conversation that I had with Harold McKinney of Fort Edward, a gentleman who grew up in Warrensburg. Harold was the grandson of Florence (Reynolds) and Wilbur McKinney, not the son as the story stated.

Florence ran the grocery store beginning in the early 1940’s. Harold is the son of Charles McKinney, Florence’s son, who is mentioned in the story.

I had a very pleasant telephone conversation with Marie Kensey, now of Lake George, about the history of the McKinney family and I have come very close to locating a picture of the store but so far it has alluded me. I am hoping for better luck in the coming future.

The original mercantile and grocery store was operated by James Freeman Cameron and he eventually, around 1900, sold his share of the store to Charles Bowen. I received a call from Joan Bowen, of Warrensburg, who tells me that her late husband was a direct descendent of this gentleman whom we think is buried in the Reynolds Cemetery in Thurman. This is the same Bowen family for which Bowen Hill is named in Thurman and that is a story for another day.

David Culver, super star In the Jan. 14 issue of the Sun, in this column, I wrote about my late Friend, David Culver, who died in 1993. I received several interesting telephone calls from Sun readers who remembered him.

I received a special telephone call from my friend of many years. Edwin Baker, a former supervisor of Thurman. Eddie mentioned that David had a large collections of fine musical instruments that had been autographed by famous country and western stars with whom David had played his banjo with over the years.

Edwin commented upon my mention that Dave Culver told me he kept his money in the “bank,” namely a dirt hole in the bank of the Schroon River and I naively believed the story.

Edwin is the brother of former Warrensburg Supervisor Maynard Baker and also James Baker, of Warrensburg. James used to baby sit for me when he was in high school. He went on to study for the ministry. He ended up working for Warren County taking care of elderly people. Devoted to his job, he was the next door neighbor of Dave Culver whom he took

care of and watched out for.

I am told that Dave did not trust banks because he had once lived through the bank failure crash of 1929 that led into the great depression of the 1930’s and he kept his money close at hand. He confided to Jim that he secured his money at home.

After his death Jim and a member of the Warren County Sheriff ’s Department, searched the house and found, I am told, a considerable amount of money, here and there, that Dave had saved over the years. There goes my river bank theory!

Hot time in the old town A few weeks ago, I wrote in this column about some very disastrous fires and tear downs that have occurred in Warrensburg over the years that have drastically changed the history of the town. One place I did not have room to write about was the Glen Road Inn, on Route 28, in Warrensburg.

One special memory of the place warms my heart. I have a vague recollection that the place was owned by a lady named “Hazel,” and I can not remember the year that the bar burned in a spectacular fire.

I seem to remember that Hazel was David’s girlfriend. The Glen Road Inn was a ramshackle old building that drew a big crowd on Saturday nights for beer and square dancing to country and western music. This place is not to be confused with the Glen Rose Inn, formerly in Chestertown.

One particular Saturday night I was there for the first time and the music was blaring and the old wooden floor was bouncing under the square dancer’s feet.

Suddenly from the back room, Dave Culver appeared wearing a bright red tight fitting suit of wool long johns and wearing a pair of roller skates.

To the amazement of the bar patrons and the dancers alike, he skillfully skated in and out of the square dancer’s formations and blew kisses to everyone in the crowd who watched with astonishment. He was a sensation!

Many months later, after probably someone allowed the old woodstove to get too hot and the place burned down, I asked David what his thoughts were about the fire. He said that it was always drafty and cold in the building and that you had to drink a lot of beer to keep warm and that particular night was the only time he could ever remember when the place warmed up on its own.

As the old saying goes, “The past is a bucket of ashes!”

Pardon the pun.

Pistol license recertification process underway

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The recertification process for the state’s 2 million pistol permit holders is now underway.

A new website launched by the state police last week allows gun owners who had pistol permits before 2013 to complete the process online or print out a form and send it in.

All pistol or revolver license holders have to re-certify every five years at the risk of having their license revoked.

The registration is free.

The new regulations are part of the

SAFE Act, the gun control legislation approved by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers in 2013 about one month after a gunman used a semi-automatic rifle to kill 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut.

Prior to the legislation, there was no law for recertification once a pistol or revolver was obtained.

UNFAIRLY TARGETED In an effort to reduce gun violence, the law broadened the definition of what counts as an assault weapon, banned high-capacity magazines and required ammunition dealers to conduct background checks, among other

provisions.

Critics of the legislation, which is among the most strict in the nation, say the law unfairly targets law-abiding gun owners.

Manufacturers, say opponents, have already found loopholes to dodge what constitutes an assault weapon, while magazine regulations penalize sportsmen and hobbyists who enjoy target shooting.

The law remains deeply unpopular across upstate, where anti-SAFE Act signs continue to adorn front lawns and bumper stickers.

hose who choose to commit terror have been around since the beginning of time. Every generation has been forced to deal with some type of terrorism in one form or another, but our current challenge with those who practice this extreme version of radical jihad includes the added dimension of religion to the mix.

Information is still trickling out that links the Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter to radical Islam, but at this point jihadist or just mentally disturbed after a tour in Iraq, the only purpose to his action would seem to be for some greater purpose.

The world grows more dangerous by the day, it’s now clear that their display of brutality and the methods by which they cause terror aids in their ability to recruit those individuals who are willing to carry out such acts and creates chilling prospects for the future, not only abroad, but here at home in sunny Florida.

Technology and ease of travel to cross borders becomes more of an ally to the terrorists than governments seeking to use these tools to protect their citizens. When legal citizens are enticed to join up with these groups and receive training quietly in their homes through the internet and other readily available sources it leaves us all questioning; how do we know who the enemy is and where will they strike next.

Our airports are perhaps some of the most guarded facilities in the nation, yet this young man easily checked his weapon, boarded a plane, enjoyed his flight, retrieved his weapon and then quickly killed five and injured another six complete innocents before surrendering to authorities.

Until the world comes together more of these lone wolf events will continue to occur and the more that do occur will only serve to encourage others to do the same. The cycle needs to be broken.

Solutions that address those who make personal war in this fashion must be made to realize the futility of this action has gain them nothing but more of what they seek to change.

The promise of glory and martyrdom may be their goal, but the reality for those who seek this reward is an eternity of emptiness and pain. The truth that must somehow be recognized within the hearts and minds of those who believe this is the path to heaven, is that taking human life is never the answer. Fear is a powerful motivator, but when governments have no solution to place greater fear in the minds and hearts of those who choose to kill and die for the glory of themselves and their god, it leaves many innocent citizens around the globe questioning what the future holds.

Bold proposals welcome, but need to be coupled with mandate relief

T

alk about ending with a bang.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced last week the possible solution to a problem that has vexed Essex County for two decades: The transformation of Frontier Town into a proposed Gateway to the Adirondacks.

Initial plans for the tourism hub call for the state to work with the private sector and the Open State Institute to create a visitors center, museum, retail space and connections to recreational trails that will ferry visitors into the surrounding wilderness and communities.

Lawmakers have said this is transformative — and we agree. In fact, we called for nearly the exact same proposal a year ago in an editorial.

Maybe great minds do think alike.

But it’s not a done deal: State lawmakers must now approve up to $32 million in state investment — a drop in the bucket when discussing a $155 billion spending plan that contains some supersized proposals.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo got this one right.

In fact, there’s a lot to love in the governor’s proposals, which range from funding for clean water and airport infrastructure to tax credits for childcare and upstate ridesharing.

New regulations to crack down on cyberattacks and fraud will help protect North Country residents, as will the increased measures to combat the heroin crisis and aid residents with recovery and ongoing treatment.

It’s also hard to object to continued investments in tourism infrastructure and the funding that will allow the completion of the Empire State Trail, a 750-mile network that would connect downstate visitors to Lake George and Ticonderoga and bring them up along the shoreline of Lake Champlain into Plattsburgh and through the northern envisions toward Canada.

It all seems like a new frontier for the Empire State, which is exciting.

Like the governor cheerfully said during his Albany speech: Upstate matters!

But we also can’t help but wonder how he’s going to pay for all of it.

The state is heading into the darkest financial waters since Cuomo took office in 2011.

The economy is slowing. Sales and incoming tax receipts are declining, and the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, which seems all-but-certain as President-elect Donald Trump takes office this week, is slated to punch a big hole

in the budget.

Current estimates have the state facing a $3.5 billion shortfall.

The governor also needs to be mindful of the costs for local governments, who are growing increasingly vocal about mandate relief, including when it comes to indigent defense and Medicaid.

Cuomo has made property tax relief a signature of his administration, and rolled out another proposal that will attempt to deepen the process by requiring county taxpayers to vote on consolidation plans.

That’s noble in sentiment. But the North County are pioneers in government reduction.

Just look no further than Essex County, where two of four villages have dissolved in the past three years.

Of course, the governor’s proposals are just that — a wish list.

It’s expected he will formally introduce his executive budget this week.

Hopefully our state lawmakers can balance some of the more glitzy initiatives while also being mindful of the localities that are howling for relief from the sidelines.

lETTERS TO THE EDiTOR

IÊ answerÊ toÊ aÊ higherÊ powerÊ thanÊ theÊ PoorÊ losersÊ prevalentÊ followingÊ President-electÊ presidentialÊ electionÊ To the Editor: I’m writing in response to the piece entitled “Tale of Two Americas.”

The piece opens by quoting President Lincoln, a person who took office to lead a deeply divided nation through a devastating war and lived long enough to attempt to set the tone for it to heal in the aftermath of such tremendous loss.

The assassination of President Lincoln was an attempt to overthrow the government of the United States entirely. He and his entire administration were targeted that night. Lincoln’s was the only death but the attempt to destroy the full government was real and perpetrated by several citizens who felt that this was the only way to change course.

Personally, I cannot enter the Lincoln Memorial in our nation’s capital without shedding tears and I have a framed copy of the Gettysburg Address adorning my home.

Your editorial is not the first time that you have asked people to support the president-elect and give him a chance. I take offence at this suggestion and would argue that doing that is directly in opposition to my responsibility as a citizen.

Citizens are the lifeblood of a democracy. Without our voices, politicians have no compass as to how govern for the benefit of the people they represent. That is how it works. If I am unhappy with a decision or direction that the government is taking up, it is my responsibility to call my representatives, get together with members of my community and perhaps organize a peaceful protest or demonstration to showcase in solidarity with other citizens that we are displeased and prepared to hear alternative solutions.

For you to suggest that this is a time when I should ignore my moral compass, when I should cast aside my standards for decency, when I should shed my belief that we are responsible for what we say and do every single moment of our lives then I would say to you that I answer to a higher power than the president-elect.

And for me to do all those things would constitute the creation of an environment within my heart for such violations of acceptable human behavior to simmer and boil into hatred.

Why would I do that? I live in a great country with a gorgeous democracy. The constitution has given me the tools to express myself and to hold elected officials accountable. That’s what I’ll do.

Presidential election filled country withÊ hate

To the Editor: Recently a North Country lady told me her daughter broke into tears when she heard Trump was elected.

I didn’t quite break into tears, but the election was a shock to me. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost three million and still lost!

What an amazing thing this is in a country where democracy once rang the Liberty Bell.

Yes, our founders put in place the electoral college as a guard against the minority losing its vote, but I have to believe something is terribly wrong with our system.

Times have changed and our founders had no idea there would be over 300 million people in our great country.

Over the years, we have had to amend our Constitution to better reflect the times we live in. Giving women the right to vote and doing away with slavery were changes for the good.

Other examples are the 22nd Amendment limiting the term of our presidents, and the 26th, which prohibits the denial of the right of U.S. citizens, 18 years of age or older, to vote on account of age.

Change is not a bad thing when it preserves our democratic process.

Our republic is ever changing and if we don’t change with it we will follow Rome!

Let’s forget about Trump or Clinton and think about the elections to come! This election filled our country with hate as the only way to get change with the way things are done in Washington. It has only been a few months since the last election and one can already see those in office are carrying on as they have always done.

The daughter that cried did so because she has a terrible disease and is afraid of losing her coverage. She is not alone as now. We have a Congress and Senate with a majority from one political party along with a president.

There is no democracy when this happens, no matter what party controls all facets of our government.

We now are living under a dictatorship, as we are about to lose our healthcare, as we know it. Medicare and Medicaid are about to be dismantled and Social Security is under attack. There is no way to stop this from happening as Americans have elected these people into office knowing these programs would be lost.

Many seniors voted not realizing that Medicare will be affected when the ACA is dismantled. Many of the benefits in Medicare are due to the ACA as are those in Medicaid. This brings us back to the electoral college and what occurred in the past election. Is our county to move forward to future elections under the current system? If the answer is yes, then we may as well bypass the process and live as they did under George III. In closing, I would like to take up the challenge of Mr. Raynard Corrow of Indian Lake and debate him on the steps of the Ticonderoga Historical Society on July 3 of this year.

God bless our republic!

Gary Philip Guido Ticonderoga

To the Editor: Your recent editorial (Letter to the Editor, “Enough of Sore Loser Negativism,” by Gary Guido) hit the nail right on the head! What do these people expect to gain or change by the group protests they are planning in DC and across the country on Inauguration Day? Right here in our three county region, groups being led by supposedly some highly educated people because their candidate lost and we cannot accept that or the winner — unbelievable.

I am in my 80s and have voted in many elections and yes, many of those candidates I supported and voted for were defeated. My response was always: let’s see how this election works out, if it does not there is always the next time. Give the winner a chance to prove themselves before you condemn them.

But evidently these poor losers across the country can’t and will not see that point of view. Too bad for the example our country will show worldwide!

SpotlightingÊ theÊ NorthÊ CreekÊ BusinessÊ Alliance To the Editor: I would like to spotlight the North Creek Business Alliance and the programs, goals and accomplishments that have impacted tourism and visitor interaction with the North Creek Business Community.

The North Creek Business Alliance was formed as a Not for Profit Corporation in 2009 in an effort to further establish Gore Mountain and the North Creek area as a premier resort destination community.

This active group of entrepreneurs, managers and just interested individuals work together to grow area businesses and make long-lasting contributions to enhance both the businesses and the lifestyle of residents.

Every Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m., the group gathers at a main street restaurant in North Creek. There is no membership, there are no dues, and the meetings last only one hour. Individuals who attend discuss issues, plans for upcoming events and make comments on various subjects; occasionally guests come to speak on issues affecting the business climate and lifestyle in the area. Networking is the key word.

In 2009, the alliance established free shuttle service between area overnight housing facilities and Gore Mountain Ski Center. The service is offered on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. During the past four ski seasons, an average of 2,675 skiers per season have used this service.

During the summer and fall, the alliance offers shuttle service meeting the Saratoga North Creek train five days per week to offer information, transportation and entertainment to arriving passengers.

The alliance produces Music by the River, a series of free concerts throughout the summer.

The alliance produces Cruise Night, a series highlighting vintage autos and motorcycle.

The alliance sponsors an annual Christmas craft fair and a monthly art walk throughout downtown North Creek village.

The alliance sponsors the annual River Guides Olympics.

This August, the alliance sponsored and produced a tremendously successful first annual Wine Train Festival.

The alliance, working with the Town of Johnsburg has been instrumental in creating 15 kilometers of mountain biking/hiking trails at the Ski Bowl Park in North Creek.

The alliance has also been instrumental in implementing the Streetscape Project for downtown North Creek village.

The alliance continues to support Tannery Pond Center, the local outreach center food pantry and the weekend backpack food program.

pharmacy Benefit managers Are behind drug prices Peter J. Pitts

Columnist

W

hen Christie Tucker’s son Preston was diagnosed with diabetes, his insulin prescription cost just $40. Now, two years later, Christie is paying $650 for a sixweek supply of the medicine.

Many people reflexively blame drug companies for Christie’s dilemma. But the firms producing Preston’s insulin aren’t making more money. Insulin list prices are going up, but net prices -the money drug firms actually receive -- are falling sharply. The extra cash is instead landing in the pockets of pharmacy benefit managers.

Pharmacy benefit managers act as middlemen between drug companies and patients, pharmacists, and insurers. They determine which medicines are covered, and at what co-pay or co-insurance level, for 210 million Americans’ health plans.

They’re abusing this role to rake in enormous profits -- at the expense of patients’ health.

The gatekeeper role gives PBMs enormous bargaining power to buy medicines in bulk.

Just three PBMs dominate 70 percent of the market, and pharmaceutical companies know they will not be able to access millions of patients unless they accommodate the demands of PBMs. With that disproportionate negotiating power, PBMs coerce pharmaceutical companies into offering substantial discounts and rebates.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with this hard-ball strategy. In theory, PBMs do patients a great service by securing lower drug prices.

The problem is that, in practice, PBMs rarely pass the rebates they wrench away from drug companies along to pharmacies, insurers, or patients. PBMs instead hoard the cash. Express Scripts, the nation’s largest PBM -- which boasted a market cap of $43 billion in early November -- has increased its profit per adjusted prescription 500 percent since 2003.

CVS Health, the nation’s second-largest PBM, excludes three top multiple sclerosis treatments in order to pressure the makers of other treatments into giving steeper discounts. That’s dangerous for MS patients whose doctors purposely prescribed one of those three treatments to help them manage their disease.

When drugs aren’t covered by a PBM-determined insurance plan, many patients give up and stop taking the medications, rather than appeal for an exemption.

One study, examining 60,000 Americans, found that when PBMs excluded drugs, almost half of patients simply stopped taking those medicines.

Pharmacy benefit managers are supposed negotiate big rebates on drug prices. And they do. But they’re pocketing the cash instead of passing discounts along to patients. When patients across the nation either can’t access lifesaving drugs, or must shell out a fortune to do so, it’s time to ask: who exactly benefits from pharmacy benefit managers?

Peter J. Pitts, a former FDA Associate Commissioner, is president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest.

MLK marchers in Glens Falls call for unity, equality “I believed change would come someday, but I didn’t know it would be in my lifetime”

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — As about 150 local citizens of various races streamed into Christ Church after marching hand-in-hand in an observance of Martin Luther King’s birthday on Monday.

Vera Sullivan Wanser, an 88-year-old African-American, reminisced about her experiences as a child growing up in Luverne, Alabama.

Many decades ago, she and her extended family moved to Glens Falls to work for her cousin at a hotel and motel he owned and operated.

“When we walked down the streets of Luverne and saw white people ahead, we had to cross to the other side — we couldn’t even make eye contact with them,” she said. “Back then, I believed change would come someday, but I didn’t know it would be in my lifetime.”

In a spirit of unity, nearly 300 people filled the church on Jan. 15, joining in an annual celebration of Dr. King’s life and his work to banish racial discrimination and establish equality.

With a theme of “Expressing ‘The Dream’ Through the Arts,” the 90-minute service featured area youth reading poetry and essays inspired by the words, life and mission of the civil rights icon. Local ensembles from various area schools and churches sang inspirational songs, and a community-based choir sang “Let There Be Peace on Earth.”

The crowd joined with the choirs, singing both the traditional National Anthem and the African-American National Anthem.

Rev. Leonard Oates, pastor of Faith Tabernacle Baptist Church, urged the crowd to

keep up their pursuit of racial unity in the coming months and years.

“Do not be bystanders,” he said. “Be guardians, be active.”

Earlier on Sunday, a crowd had packed the lobby of Glens Falls City Hall, where they had exchanged greetings and hugs before launching the march to the Methodist church.

Waiting for the march to begin, NAACP vice president Lee Braggs talked about growing up in the South in the era of Jim Crow, enduring such restrictions as using separate water fountains, using the “colored” entrance to the movie theaters in Jackson Mississippi, and riding in the rear of busses.

Braggs, 63, moved to Glens Falls as a young man.

“Considering recent events and everything that’s going on, we all have to be forever diligent because racism and discrimination will sneak and creep back into our society if we allow them to,” he said. “People may say that Jim Crow is behind us, but I say, ‘Walk in my

94848

shoes for just one day.”

Braggs said that although racism “occasionally raises its ugly head,” it’s generally covert or suppressed.

“What we have here in the Glens Falls area is very, very special,” he said. “We have an outpouring of support.”

Area politicians gave short speeches in City Hall before the march.

Glens Falls Mayor Jack Diamond reflected on Dr, King’s legacy.

“Martin Luther King was a man of courage, a man of dignity and a man of honor,” Diamond said. “He chose to use words instead of violent acts.”

State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) offered her thoughts.

“We annually take this walk to demonstrate, to show our community who we are and what we are, in a peaceful demonstration, showing unity,” she said.

Queensbury Supervisor John Strough said that over the last 50 years, viewing demon-

strations on televisions evolving from black-and-white sets to 55-inch LCD monitors, he saw people marching for equality struck with batons and fists by “people of privilege,” with demonstrations ending in screams and tears.

“This has to change,” Strough said. “People have to see each other on a screen that projects a great understanding of humanity.”

Area economic development czar Edward Bartholomew noted that Dr. King not only worked to end racism, but he fought for fair pay and gender equality.

“In the midst of recent turmoil regarding race relations in some areas of out nation, we need a recollection and reaffirmation of Dr. King’s principles,” he said. “We need to come together to calm this storm.”

Noting that progress in society is achieved through actions taken by every individual, Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan urged those gathered to act with kindness, understanding and patience — and listen to each other with respect— in their everyday life.

“We’re all in this together,” she said. “Collectively, we’ll be able to change the world.”

Singing ‘We Shall Overcome’ as they lead a march in Glens Falls Jan. 15 honoring Dr. Martin Luther King are (left to right): Ernest “Sonny” Gooden, Glens Falls NAACP president Mary Gooden, Glens Falls Mayor Jack Diamond, state Sen. Betty Little, NAACP secretary Sara Carpenter, NAACP vice president Lee Braggs and Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan. About 150 people participated in the procession concluding at Christ Church United Methodist, which hosted a celebration of Dr. King’s life and his mission to establish equality.

“Absolutely none of this plan has anything to do with the Moore family and the A-Frame,” Preston said.

The project will instead utilize the 85 county-owned acres, which run alongside Route 9 on the way to Schroon.

The county’s holdings also include 1,100 feet of waterfront access along the Schroon River.

To allow construction of the public and equestrian camping and day use areas, DEC will acquire a conservation easement on approximately 300 acres of land with support from the Environmental Protection Fund, according to the proposal.

Work on a number of multi-use connector trails are also underway that would link the Five Towns of North Hudson, Newcomb, Minerva, Indian Lake and Long Lake.

ON THE MARKET Moore’s daughter, Carolyn Bowley, said as of Friday, the family hadn’t been personally contacted by anyone seeking to purchase their land, nor were they dialed into the proposal, which was buried deep in the executive report and not mentioned by the governor during his remarks at the University at Albany on Wednesday.

Their holdings account for about 50 acres, including 1,600 feet of waterfront access along the Schroon River and an airstrip that park founder Art Benson once used for his private plane.

Bill Russell, an attorney for the family, said the estate would love to see the parcel be put to good use.

“They certainly want to bring something good to the Hudson area,” Russell said.

The property is presently listed for $525,000 with Glebus Reality, a Schroon Lake-based firm.

“It’s listed for a reasonable price,” Russell said. “We don’t want someone else to buy it and flip it for a larger price — that’s not in the spirit of the North Country.”

The parcel, according to the Essex County Treasurer’s Office, is appraised at $275,000.

PRIME LOCATION Gary Glebus said the firm has not yet been approached by possible buyers, nor has the OSI or state reached out for discussions.

“We haven’t heard from the state at this particular time in regards to their possible purchasing of that particular section,” Glebus said. “We would hope someone moves quickly.

It’s listed for a reasonable price and we look forward to having it sold.”

www.suncommunitynews.com

Glebus said the 19,300-square-foot anchor, known as the A-Frame, is structurally sound despite some deterioration.

“The building itself is extremely sound.

It’s a very well-constructed building,” he said, noting that the building was winterized this past fall.

The structure is in a prime location, he said, and benefits from existing signage.

“I would assume that it would be most beneficial to (potential buyers) because it is one of the main locations off the Northway,” Glebus said.

PARADOX POWER Paradox Brewery will invest $2.8 million to expand their operations.

Initial plans call for a 10,000-square-foot expansion, a measure that would allow the Schroon Lake-based brewery to at least triple their production, can their products and expand distribution to New York City, Long Island and other downstate markets.

“We’re very excited about this,” said Founder Paul Mrocka. “Hopefully this will get some economic development for North Hudson and Schroon. As we grow, we’ll be offering a fair amount of jobs in the area.”

The company has been offered $200,000 in incentives from the Empire State Development Corporation, and will be seeking additional grant funding.

Mrocka hoped the project, which is still in its early stages, will attract more lodging infrastructure to the region, long cited by tourism officials as a major handicap in southern Essex County.

“Other than camping, there’s not a lot of rooms available in the area,” Mrocka said.

Nearly 90 percent of occupancy tax collections in Essex County are generated in North Elba, said Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism President James McKenna.

“Lodging is the backbone of overall visitor expenditures, and without it, there is little activity for restaurants and attractions,” McKenna told the Sun. “We are thrilled with the proposed development of overnight accommodations in North Hudson.”

Establishing the necessary hospitality infrastructure will lead to a critical mass of the other businesses necessary for a successful destination, McKenna said, and will provide opportunity for residents and visitors.

McKenna said the proposal for the resurrection is welltimed, following the Finch Pruyn purchase, and will serve as

an anchor for the Five Towns that comprise the Upper Hudson Recreation Hub. “This will provide first-time visitors with a terrific jumping off point to explore some of the most scenic wilderness in the region, and increase travel throughout the entire Adirondack North Country region,” McKenna said. “This is a great example of how we can start building the type of economic vitality that the governor has long been championing.”

NUTS AND BOLTS The exact mechanisms underpinning the land transfer are still unclear.

“This is in the initial phases and I’m awaiting direction from the state,” said Essex County Attorney Dan Manning.

A possible arrangement could see the county giving away the property, selling it or leasing it.

If the project comes to fruition, the county would order an appraisal of the property to determine fair market value.

“If there are any private entities that want to buy it, they would have to pay fair market value of the property,” Manning said.

For the town supervisor who has shepherded the town and county through the negotiations, the long road has been worth it.

“It’s just perfect in my opinion,” said North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore.

“When you can do something like this, and make things better for the people, it’s big for the county, and big for the whole Adirondack Park,” Moore said. “It’s everything that we all had hoped for — that that property would be beneficial for the people of North Hudson.”

Frontier Town, empty since 1998, may be the site of the “Gateway to the Adirondacks,” a proposed recreational hub. The state has pledged up to $32 million for the project, which officials say would transform the Upper Hudson Region.

Cuomo

ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE To promote electric vehicle use, the governor proposed the construction of 500 new workplace charging stations and 69 new stations along the New York State Thruway, a proposal that comes with a $3 million price tag.

Creating an expansive network of electric vehicle infrastructure, said the governor, plays a chief role in reducing emissions, another signature issue contained in his proposals.

“It’s clearly the wave of the future as we move from hybrids to fully electric vehicles as the battery capacity of these vehicles increases and they become more affordable,” said Bauer. “I talked recently with a friend who lives in Ticonderoga who drove his electric car to New Orleans and back and found that with a little planning, it was very easy.”

<< Continued from | p. 1

“Two billion dollars will be transformative in how the state can help Adirondack communities from Lake George to Old Forge preserve clean water, protect the environment our children will inherit, and help Adirondack communities we want to see become more vibrant,” Janeway said.

Local government officials, too, welcomed the proposal. But they also said the state needs to engage in longterm planning with municipalities.

“I would prefer to see some sort of Department of Environmental Conservation master plan for how they’re going to deal with this,” said Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Shaun Gillilland.

“Using the same methods — going after water grants, Regional Economic Development Council programs — you’re basically closing your eyes and throwing band-aids up in the air,” Gillilland said.

Cuomo also said he’d advance legislation requiring the testing of private wells, which provide water to four million state residents.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not require testing. But under Cuomo’s proposal, wells would be tested upon their construction and upon sale of the property.

Landlords would also be required to engage in periodic checks.

The proposal comes on the heels of legislation signed into law last September requiring all state school districts to test for lead and notify parents and local authorities of the results. $300 MILLION FOR EPF The governor proposed $300 million for the Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) in the spending plan, the second year in a row the EPF has been fully funded.

Programs bankrolled by the fund range from habitat and historic site restoration, waterfront remediation, land purchases for the state’s Forest Preserve, programs to combat invasive species, recycling programs and capital infrastructure improvements.

Protect the Adirondacks, an environmental group, applauded the decision, citing the need for stormwater control and climate change infrastructure retrofits.

Peter Bauer, the group’s executive director, said he’d like to see that number eventually grow to $1 billion annually.

“We’d also like to see a line in the EPF state lands stewardship account for a special focus on the High Peaks to rebuild trails and improve public education,” Bauer told the Sun. The Nature Conservancy, too, applauded the proposal, calling it a “testament to the importance of a healthy environment.”

REDUCING EMISSIONS The state’s goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an additional 30 percent by 2030 — the most ambitious plan in the nation.

The United States, read the proposal report, now faces an “unprecedented reversal

of federal climate and energy policy,” a development that spells danger for a state already rocked by natural disasters, including Hurricane Sandy and Tropical Storm Irene, which devastated swathes of Essex County in 2011.

As an antidote, the governor is proposing massive investments in renewable energy and research.

Among the keystone projects is a wind farm southeast of Montauk, Long Island. If approved by the Long Island Power Authority, the governor said the facility would be the largest offshore wind project in the nation’s history, creating 2.4 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030, or enough to power 1.25 million homes.

“It’s jobs. It’s clean energy and it’s inexpensive energy which then drives the economy,” Cuomo said. “And we are not going to stop there.”

He added: “We have a mandate of 50 percent renewable power by the year 2030. We are not going to stop until we reach 100 percent renewable because that’s what a sustainable New York is really all about.”

Cuomo also asked the state legislature for $360 million to bankroll 11 additional renewable energy projects across the state, and “leverage $4 billion” to build an additional 35 by 2020.

The governor also directed the state DEC and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to undertake a comprehensive study to determine the “most rapid, cost-effective and responsible pathway to reach 100 percent renewable energy statewide.”

In the past three years, emissions have consistently been below cap levels, from 5 percent below the cap in 2014 to a projected 8 percent below the cap in 2016, according to the governor’s office.

Cuomo also called for members of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative — a coalition of nine northeastern states — to reduce the emissions cap from 78.2 million tons in 2020 to 75.1 million in 2021.

By 2030, the number would decline to 54.6 million tons.

Through that program, member states sell their emission allowances through auctions

and invest the proceeds in energy efficiency, renewable energy and other consumer benefit programs.

Economies in those states, according to the governor’s office, have outpaced the rest of the country, and electricity prices within the region have fallen even as prices in other states have increased.

The RGGI program in New York has led to a 46 percent reduction in carbon emissions from affected power plants and a 90 percent reduction in coal-fired power generation.

To date, the state has generated close to $1 billion in RGGI proceeds, which fund the state’s clean energy and emission reduction programs.

DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos called the initiative a “groundbreaking market-based tool.”

“Once again, Gov. Cuomo is continuing to show world leaders the economic power of reducing emissions and investing in renewable energy, and I urge our fellow RGGI states to join with us in this proposal,” said Seggos in a statement.

Bauer, the Protect the Adirondacks executive director, said the proposal for carbon pollution reductions comes with some real teeth.

RGGI and California, he said, are leading the nation in carbon pollution reduction programs now that President Obama’s Clean Power Plan has fallen under the shadow of President-elect Donald Trump.

The governor, Bauer said, should bolster his commitment to reducing carbon by showing his statesmanship and “sweet-talking” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to have his state, which bowed out in 2012, rejoin the coalition.

“Now that Christie is no longer running for president, perhaps he could get real again about climate change and bring New Jersey back into the program,” Bauer said. “That would be a great accomplishment by Gov. Cuomo who supposedly works well with Christie.”

The governor also announced the closure of Indian Point nuclear power plant by 2021, a measure the state says presented a threat to public safety and the local environment.

JOCKEYING FOR 2020 Cuomo’s bold proposals have sparked discussion that the Democrat is positioning himself as a national leader ahead of a 2020 presidential run.

John Catsimatidis, host of the CATS Roundtable, directly asked the governor about the rumors during his Sunday morning appearance on the program.

“I’m running for re-election as governor in 2018,” Cuomo said. “I hope that I am blessed by the people of this state with a chance to continue to serve. We have a lot of good things going on right now and I want to make sure that we finish what we started. So, that’s the only plan that I have now, but the rumor is flattering, even if not true, John.”

But the governor, however, did admit the bold proposals, 149 in all, are a direct response to what he said was unprecedented “citizen anger, frustration and anxiety” in the country following last year’s presidential election that saw Trump win the White House.

“People are really distrustful of government,” said Cuomo, “and I wanted to say to them this year, ‘I’m coming to you. I’m bringing government to you.’ I’m not going to sit in Albany and talk to the politicians and expect that you’re going to go to Albany or you’re going to figure out how to find out about what government is doing. I’m going to come to you. I’m going explain our vision and what it means for you in your region.”

The governor’s proposed executive budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year is due on Tuesday.

The ambitious wish list, including a free tuition plan for state schools, comes when the state is facing a projected $3.5 billion spending gap due to declining personal income and sales tax receipts alongside the possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The state budget deadline is April 1.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, pictured here at the University at Albany on Thursday, Jan. 12, rolled out a series of ambitious environmental proposals last week, including $2 billion in clean water infrastructure, investments in electric vehicle infrastructure and an aggressive plan to reduce carbon emissions.

New BOCES program gets kids moving Essex, Hamilton BOCES recruiting now underway

MALONE — Walk around the classrooms at Franklin Essex Hamilton BOCES Adirondack Educational Center and you will see students moving.

Gone are the rows of desks where students sat and listened to the teacher — that model has been replaced with interactive learning experiences that infuse STEM technologies and academic rigor with real-world work applications.

Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, said that “the idea is to prepare students for a career at whatever point they decide to pursue one and to align high school CTE with postsecondary options.”

“Curricula have changed even in shop, where today’s students learn to read blueprints, make detailed drawings and use high tech laser printers and 3-D technology,” Weingarten said. “Similarly, automotive careers have adapted to a changing industry where computerized equipment, electronics

and advanced materials are now standard, and students can choose to study fuel cells or electric car design.”

Recruiting for fall 2017 is now underway. For more information, contact Rick Swanston, CTE Principal or Joanne Williams, CTE Counselor at 891-1330.

Business Beat: Bright Beginnings Daycare CHESTERTOWN — Bright Beginnings Daycare will celebrate their one year anniversary on Jan. 25.

The daycare employs five women and currently has about 20 children under their care.

“We have also been recognized as a model facility by an infant and toddler specialist for the state,” said Carrie Remington, owner.

The Bright Beginnings Daycare offers care for children aged six weeks up until they enter preschool. They offer a full curriculum taught by a state-certified teacher and each classroom has a curriculum developed specifically for each child and their needs.

Currently helping to run the day care are Jessica Wet, Julina Walker, Joss-elyse Smith and Jesika Hill.

“As our classrooms expand, we could potentially hire more teachers,” said Remington.

Currently, the daycare is working on a fundraiser for supplies for their classroom.

“Although they are new to the community, we are all young women who strive to make a difference in our community though the education of our youngest community members,” said Remington.

CormieÊ setsÊ aÊ schoolÊ recordÊ asÊ WarriorsÊ defeatÊ Granville

By Thom Randall

racked up 273 points this season, and has amassed 875 career varsity points.

With the win, Lake George improved to 6-1 in the Adirondack League, 3-0 in the league’s big-school Division 1, and 8-2 overall.

Jan. 16, Lake George lost a non-leaguer to Cohoes, a large B school, by a score of 54-46. This is a reversal of the team’s early-season victory over Cohoes in which Bennett scored 32 points and grabbed 23 rebounds.

Friday, Bennett was high scorer with 21 points plus 18 rebounds and three assists; Cormie contributed 14 points including three 3-pointers, plus 6 rebounds. Nikki Hladik added 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Next up for the Warriors is an away game against Fort Ann on Wednesday and a home game against Argyle on Friday.

Tefft said his team has challenges ahead, as the league has tough competitors, including Fort Ann, Argyle and Warrensburg.

“The kids are working awfully hard, getting better step by step,” he said. “We’re trying to reach our potential.”

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George girls basketball team launched their second-half of the 2016-17 season with a flourish on Jan. 13, defeating Granville 72-26.

The game not only showcased the Warriors’ remarkable offense, but it proved to be a milestone for one of the school’s leading athletes — senior shooting guard Lacey Cormie, who set a new school record for girls basketball by scoring the most three-point career baskets in the Warriors’ history — 127.

A four-year starter, Cormie surpassed the record formerly held by Mia Ross, a 2006 Lake George graduate.

Cormie also holds the school record for the most threepointers in a year — she set the record in the 2015-16 season with 54, a number she is likely to surpass this season. As of Jan. 17, Cormie has advanced her career tally to 130 threepoint baskets.

Cormie is expected to surpass 1,000 career points overall in about a month — her present career-point tally in basketball is 814 points. In addition, she has 235 career rebounds over her 70 varsity games, and so far this year she is averaging 13.1 points per game, according to 31-year scorekeeper Keith Putnam of Lake George.

Long-time Lake George Girls Basketball Coach Rob Tefft said Cormie has been a key player for several years.

“Lacey has worked hard at the skill she possesses, and she’s improved her game though her career,” he said. “She’s been an integral part of our success.”

Tefft continued his thoughts.

“She’s a very good outside shooter, and opponents are quite aware of it. Her game is not just about three-pointers; she gets out in transition and drives the ball, and she’s a good defensive player to boot,” he said. “She’s a well-rounded player, playing hard all the time.”

Basketball is not the only sport in which Cormie excels.

Cormie is also an exceptional soccer player. This past year, she was honored as Adirondack League Soccer Player of the Year.

This fall, she continued her success, scoring 29 goals.

Against Granville, Graceann Bennett was the top scorer, with 22 points plus 11 rebounds and 5 assists. Cormie followed with 19 points, five of them her signature three-point-

Lake George shooting guard Lacey Cormie dribbles the ball toward the basket during a practice session last season. As of Jan. 13, she set a new school record for girls basketball, scoring the most three-point career baskets in school history — 127. In the 2015-16 season, she set the school record for the most three-pointers in a single season of girls basketball — 54.

Burghers defeat Salem ers, plus 3 assists. Alauna Wright contributed 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists; and point guard Alysia Kane, as well as Nikki Hladik, Rachel Shambo, and Skylor Healy each scored four points. Morgan Zilm and Ava Pushor tallied three points apiece; and Pushor contributed 3 assists.

For Granville, Alexis Smith scored 18 points, more than two-thirds of her team’s total score.

WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg Girls Basketball team achieved another Adirondack League victory Jan. 16 by defeating Salem by a score of 47-31.

Megan Hughes had a stellar game, one of the best of her career. She was top scorer with 15 points plus 17 rebounds and 4 steals; aided by efforts of Britanny Frasier with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Starr Hughes tallied 9 points, and point guard Hope Boland had 7 points. Zoe Morgan contributed 4 points and Heather Wood, 2.

For the Generals, Jessi Vidal scored 13 points.

With the victory, Warrensburg advances to 5-2 in the league and 9-2 overall.

BurghersÊ extendÊ theirÊ comebackÊ effortÊ Ñ Ê inÊ dramaticÊ fashion

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Like a boxer winning a couple of rounds after several brutal knockdowns, the Warrensburg Boys Basketball Team got on their feet and won two games this week — including the title to their own George Khoury tournament — following a 1-6 start to the 2016-17 season.

The two victories — one versus Salem on Jan. 13 and another against Minerva-Newcomb mid-day Saturday — featured heavy doses of drama.

Against Salem, the Burghers shrugged off a 14-19 deficit in the first quarter and took control of the game — for a while, at least.

Embarking on a scoring tirade over the next 16 minutes, the Burghers put up 41 points, more than doubling the Generals’ output, establishing a 16-point lead by the end of the third quarter.

But the game wasn’t over.

The Generals responded with their own furious comeback, overtaking the Burghers in the last quarter.

Down one point with 1:12 to go, Warrensburg fought back, securing a 71-65 victory in the game’s final seconds.

Burgher coach Mike Perrone said he was proud of his team’s resolve.

“Our players didn’t let it go — they stepped up and found a way to win the game, which is huge for us.”

It was huge, he said, because against Corinth on Dec. 9, the Tomahawks built a 15-point lead and Warrensburg couldn’t answer back.

In Friday’s game against Salem, three players — Garry Ross, John Kelly and Zach Smith — scored 16 points each. Twelve of Ross’s points were free throws due to his aggressive

response to the Generals’ press late in the game. Ross completed a near-perfect 12 of 13 from the foul line in this high-scoring battle.

In this game, Evan MacDuff scored 11 points and Cole Lanfear tallied 7. For Salem, Andrew Terry led with 19 points, and Cole Gregg followed with 16.

Only 12 hours following this tough contest, Warrensburg faced a second foe: MinervaNewcomb in the postponed final round of their George Khoury tournament.

The Burghers played an up-tempo game to combat Minerva-Newcomb’s steely defense, Perrone said.

“We pressed and trapped a lot, holding Minerva-Newcomb to only three points in the first quarter,” he said, noting this strategy has helped them compete against taller teams they’ve met up with this year.

The Mountaineers, however fought back, compiling a 7-point lead with just over 5 minutes left in the game.

However tired the Burgher athletes might

have been from their game the previous night, they clawed their way back to a 4338 victory — with Evan MacDuff hitting a three-point shot to put Warrensburg ahead with 52 seconds left and Joe Turner sinking two free-throws with 1 second remaining on the clock to end the game.

Perrone said the two games demonstrated his team’s character as well as its new-found chemistry.

“On Friday, we had a great offensive output, then on Saturday we won a tough defensive battle by finding a way to get stop after stop,” Perrone said. “Over the two games, we pressed and trapped a lot, forcing a total of 60 turnovers.”

Against the Mountaineers, sophomore Evan MacDuff lead the team with 14 points alongside 7 rebounds; Garry Ross scored 11 points, plus grabbed 11 rebounds and conducted four assists; Zach Smith tallied 9 points; Joe Turner scored four points and brought down 5 rebounds; and Cole Lanfear scored 3 points and got 5 rebounds; and

Brandon Bailey chipped in 2 points.

For the Mountaineers, Caleb Winter scored 14 points and Drew Dehetsky added 11.

MacDuff was named MVP of the tournament, and he and Garry Ross were named to the all-tournament team, as were Winter and Deshetsky.

Perrone said he was proud of his team’s progress.

“We’ve got a lot of young players, and it’s been great to see them improve and gain confidence throughout the season,” he said, noting that a number of players were brought up from junior varsity this season — and there was a lot of pressure for them to fill the offensive role of 2015-16 top scorer Kyle Boland, who has been sidelined by a torn ACL. “A lot of players this year have stepped into new roles,” Perrone said, naming Zach Smith, John Kelly and Evan MacDuff as the JV draftees.

“Friday, we had four players score in double figures, for the first time in over a decade,” Perrone continued, noting that Evan McDuff had completed seven of nine three pointers — primarily in clutch situations — over the last two games.

“McDuff really stepped up,” he said.

Next up for the Burghers is a game against Hartford on Friday and versus Fort Edward on Tuesday. Both are to be played on the Burghers’ home court.

Posing for a photo after winning the George Khoury Invitational tournament, the Burgher basketball players find it difficult to contain their smiles. The team includes (front, left to right): John Lefebvre, Cole Lanfear, Joe Turner, Peyton Olden, Austin Smith, (rear): coach Mike Perrone, Brandon Turner, Garry Ross, Brandon Bailey, John Kelly, Evan MacDuff, Thor Larson and Zach Smith.
