Minerva Fire & Rescue ‘Goes to the Dogs’ slated Canine-friendly event slated for July 22

chris@suncommunitynews.com

MINERVA Ñ The Minerva Fire & Rescue Ò Goes to the DogsÓ is being held for the 5th year in a row at the beach at Minerva Lake.

Patty Warrington, president of Minerva Fire & Rescue, said the event started five years ago because

there were no fun events for dogs and their owners. Ò Now Chestertown has Woofstock, and things are catching on for things to do with dogs,Ó she said.

This yearÕ s event is slated for July 22.

Warrington, a firefighter and ambulance driver, is also involved with K-9 Search and Rescue. She said Brad and Jen Dunkley of South Glens Falls will take part in the event representing the Search and Rescue Response Team.

AdirondackÊ ExperienceÊ suesÊ LakeÊ PlacidÊ overÊ eminentÊ domainÊ case

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE Ñ The Adirondack Experience is suing the Village of Lake Placid for their efforts to obtain a pair of museum-owned parcels via eminent domain in order to build a downtown parking garage.

The Adirondack Experience is petitioning the Supreme CourtÕ s Appellate Division, Third Department, to vacate the action.

The Lake Placid Village Board issued a determination at a special board meeting on June 12 that there is a public need for the museum-owned property. Ò The petition is based on both procedural flaws in the legal steps the village has pursued and on the fact that the village has failed to demonstrate that there is a need for the public taking of the museumÕ s property,Ó said Adirondack Experience Executive Director David Kahn in a statement.

Kahn said public sentiment is against the project, citing a public hearing on March 13 in which residents were Ò virtually unanimousÓ in their rejection of the village boardÕ s proposal to build a garage on the site and the proposal Ò to use eminent domain to seize the property of a nonprofit institution.Ó The hilltop parcels are located at 2476 and 2478 Main St. and are adjacent to a municipal parking lot.

Ò Each year we try to invite new people to do demonstrations,Ó Warrington said.

Others have included Steve Cuzzacria and his Spimone Italianos, which Warrington said is a rare dog from Italy.

Warrington said they expect SheriffÕ s Officer Jeremy Coon from Warren County SheriffÕ s Department with his K-9 to demonstrate police work with K-9s.

POTTERSVILLE Ñ Over 60 years ago, Word of Life founder Jack Wyrtzen had an idea for a camp that offered family fun with a western theme.

Camp director Jon Nazigian said WyrtzenÕ s dream was realized when The Ranch began in 1955. He said it started as a three-week, western-themed camp held every August.

Nazigian said in 1973, Word of Life purchased the adjacent Ò Camp RondackÓ for girls, where the rodeo arena and western town is located.

Long-running Chester councilwoman not seeking re-election Edna Wells is stepping down after 16 years

By Christopher South

chris@suncommunitynews.com

POTTERSVILLE Ñ Chester Town Board member Edna Wells said she has decided not to seek another term after representing Pottersville and the Town of Chester for nearly 16 years.

Wells, 79, confirmed her decision in a phone interview July 12. Ò I will have served 16 years by the time my term ends, and itÕ s time for me to start enjoying retirement a little,Ó she said. Ò It was a hard decision, but I finally made it.Ó Town Supervisor Craig Leggett said, in addition to Wells, Karen DuroseÕ s term will also be up for reelection this November, and she intends to file her petitions before the July 13 deadline.

Durose, also representing Pottersville, could not be contacted immediately to confirm her status.

Leggett said there is no law that requires two of the four board members be from Pottersville, but there has always been what he termed a Ò gentlemenÕ s agreementÓ that two seats be filled by persons from Pottersville and two from Chestertown. Ò There are two districts in the town, and itÕ s typically been so that the northern part of town has a voice and southern part of town has a voice,Ó Leggett said.

Leggett said while the deadline for filing with partisan endorsement is July 13, petitions to file as an independent arenÕ t due until August.

Wells said she has enjoyed being on the board, but she wants more time to do other things, such as spending time with family. Ò I had thought I would go longer, but IÕ m not a young person anymore,Ó Wells said. Ò I hope I have been a good representative for my town, but itÕ s time to step back and let someone else have a chance.Ó Wells said her husband, Floyd, has always supported her decision to serve on the town board, and in fact encouraged her to run again. However, she said she it was time to step back from the time commitment required by the office. She said she has always tried to be faith-

ful to attending board meetings, Wells was born home in Igerna, and attended the old Pottersville School. She moved to Pottersville after getting married, which will be 60 years in August. She started working at the telephone company in Chestertown when she was still in high school, but did not return to work there after her third child.

Wells worked for a construction company that was working on the Northway, and then went to work for the John Deere business in Schroon Lake, then for the same business in Clifton Park.

Following her retirement at the end of 2000, Wells

was elected to the Chester Town Board in 2001. She continues to be a substitute teacher at the North Warren Central School. Ò I havenÕ t given up working,Ó she said.

Wells has been involved with the Helpers Fund and still keeps the books at her church. She said she enjoys being at home and likes to cook, and will continue to remain busy.

ABOVE: Chester Town Board member Edna Wells, second from right, is shown participating in the July 11 Town Board meeting held Pottersville.

After serving since 2001, Wells has decided to not seek reelection.

The Lake George chapter of Future Business Leaders of America recently attended the FBLA National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California from June 29 through July 2. Four students qualified to represent Lake George Central School District in the national competition: Autumn Shaughnessy, who competed in website design; Jude Armstrong, who competed in electronic career portfolio; Brandon Bondy, spreadsheet applications, and Mattie Williams, who qualified for sales presentation but did not attend the national conference. Anthony Gambino also attended and competed in the human resource management open event. Pictured, L to R: Shaughnessy, Armstrong, Bondy and Gambino.

making sure the Medicaid population continues to be protected,Ó she said.

The questions and callers were not pre-screened, said her office, but callers were asked to offer the topic in advance to ensure all issues were covered across the sprawling district. Ò This allows us to choose a variety of topics that can speak to the issues everyone on the line wishes to hear about,Ó said Tom Flanagin, a spokesman.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Ñ President Trump should Tweet less.

The cuts in the proposed White House budget are Ò too drasticÓ and target critical district programming.

Russian interference in U.S. elections poses an ongoing threat.

And ongoing cutbacks to the Environmental Protection Agency will impact local efforts to combat the spread of invasive species and roll back acid rain recovery in the Adirondack Park.

Again and again in a tele-town hall last week, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) sought to distance herself from the Oval Office and offer a forceful defense of the Congressional role in crafting policy.

On the looming net neutrality showdown: Ò We need to make sure Congress has a role in it rather than the administration writing arbitrary rules based upon an antiquated regulatory regime that was used for railroads,Ó said Stefanik.

On the White HouseÕ s proposed budget: Ò I was one of the early voices that came out against President TrumpÕ s budget,Ó Stefanik said. Ò Again, Congress has the power of the purse, so we will write our own budget through our own appropriations process.

Stefanik, a Republican, said she finds some of TrumpÕ s rhetoric disagreeable. Ò When I disagree with it, I will say so.

I think he should Tweet less, and I think that itÕ s CongressÕ role to make sure we have co-equal branches of government.

IÕ m going to continue being an independent voice.Ó DEFENDING RECORD Stefanik stuck largely to familiar terrain in the tele-town hall, her 11th since taking office.

The lawmaker sailed through past and future legislative efforts regarding environmental policy, veterans affairs (including efforts to combat post-traumatic stress disorder), workforce development, low milk prices, efforts to combat opiates Ñ and of course, health care, which continues to be tied up in Congress.

Stefanik also cited her efforts to ensure climate change provisions and a pay raise for military personnel were included in the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, which passed the full House last week. Ò Overall, the House of Representatives passed more legislation this year than in the first six months of any recent presidency,Ó Stefanik said.

Stefanik reiterated her belief that Medicaid needs to be reined in while ensuring Ò essential benefitsÓ like maternity care and drug treatment are included in the final versions of both GOP-penned bills (the Senate ultimately ended up torpedoing their bill late Monday). Ò IÕ m been very active and vocal in

RUSSIAN INVESTIGATION Stefanik said she remains an active participant on the House Intelligence CommitteeÕ s ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the U.S. election. Ò I also support the independent investigation thatÕ s being led by (special counsel Robert) Mueller in terms of getting to the bottom and getting these answers,Ó Stefanik said.

Stefanik is also chairwoman of the House Armed Services Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee which has jurisdiction over cyber operations and counter-terrorism efforts.

The lawmaker said those activities are often underreported Ñ including the effort to make permanent the European Reassurance Initiative which would focus on bolstering NATO allies.

Stefanik said she worked to ensure language was included in the NDAA to combat Russian propaganda and the stateÕ s use of shaping favorable media coverage through friendly outlets.

The sophomore lawmaker called for the House to pass the Russian Sanc-

tion Bills that the Senate passed several weeks ago in a 98-2 vote. Ò I support the Russian Sanctions Bill, and I think we should move it to the floor as soon as possible,Ó Stefanik said.

39,000 CONSTITUENTS The lawmaker spent 50 minutes answering questions from over a dozen constituents.

As many as 39,000 phone numbers were reached in the call, her office said.

Stefanik has been criticized by some constituents and activists for her preference for Ò small group meetings,Ó which the lawmaker has said she often finds preferable over town hall meetings, which can often be unruly and counterproductive.

The lawmaker held a town hall in Plattsburgh after her vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act in May, a tense affair that saw constituents openly sparring with the representative.

But the teleconference event held no signs of friction, nor reflected the acrimony reflected on her social media profiles from disaffected constituents.

The tone was largely conversational with Stefanik listening attentively and engaging in a back-and-forth with callers from Loon Lake to Saratoga Springs.

Despite the relative freewheeling nature of the event, several took to the lawmakerÕ s Facebook page event to grumble: Ò Elected officials should be willing to look their constituents in the face (not just into a camera) and explain their decisions,Ó wrote one. Ò Tele-town halls are a great supplement to in person town halls (plural) but a poor substitute for them. You are never going to please everybody. But you are accountable to everybody (in your district).Ó To read this story in its entirety, visit suncommunitynews.com.

Bluegrass outfit set to perform in Thurman String Dusters will perform as part of ongoing “Free Concerts in the Park”

THURMAN Ñ Ò Free Concerts in the ParkÓ will continue in Thurman on July 24 with traditional bluegrass melodies played by the String Dusters.

The concert will be held rain or shine at VeteransÕ Memorial Field in Athol from 7-9 p.m.

For more than two decades, the String Dusters have been playing what coordi-

nator Bill Healy calls Ò American acoustic musicÓ Ñ a blend of the bluegrass of Bill Monroe, the yodeling blues of Jimmie Rodgers, the folk songs of the Carter Family and the honky-tonk country music of Hank Williams.

The band has played almost every type of venue from small coffeehouses and community events to festivals and major concerts, always bringing great songs and a sense of humor to every show.

Noted bluegrass radio personality Nick Barr has played off and on with the String Dusters for more than 15 years, putting in just the right note on fiddle,

mandolin, or bass when needed.

The newest member, joining the String Dusters, is Tim Roden on guitar and pedal steel. RodenÕ s addition completes the sound that Healy had envisioned since the bandÕ s first show in 1993.

The String DustersÕ performances are a tradition in Thurman. They were regular participants in the last several years of the Thurman FiddlersÕ Jamboree, as well as a few other town events.

The Ò Free Thurman Concerts in the ParkÓ series continues each Monday evening through July and August, with

Cuomo at Challenge: Large-scale events coming to region

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH CREEK Ñ Lake Placid will soon host a pair of heavy-duty athletic events.

The Olympic Village won the bids to host the 8th annual International ChildrenÕ s Olympic Winter Games in 2019 and the International Bobsled and Skeleton World Championship in 2021.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo formally confirmed the news Sunday at the Adirondack Challenge at Gore Mountain in North Creek.

Local tourism officials have embarked on several recent trips to Europe to sell organizers on Lake Placid Ñ a delegation featuring Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism CEO James McKenna returned from Lithuania earlier this month Ñ and have said large-scale events would be a boon for the regionÕ s tourism industry.

The International ChildrenÕ s Olympic Winter Games could draw as many as 1,000 athletes from 50 global cities to the region.

Lake Placid has hosted the world bobsled and skeleton championships 10 times, most recently in 2012.

TOUTS INVESTMENTS Cuomo delivered his comments following the Adirondack Challenge, the weekend-long state initiative designed to promote tourism to the Adirondack Park.

Cuomo also touted state investments in the region, including millions in funding for the Plattsburgh International Airport, the Gateway to the Adirondacks project, a proposed welcome center on the Adirondack Northway in Glens Falls and renovations to ski facilities at Whiteface and Gore Mountains.

The current legislature has allocated $3.2 billion in funding to the North Country, he said.

No other group of lawmakers, said Cuomo, has invested more in the region since the Adirondack Park was founded in 1892.

The governor said the stateÕ s $7 million investment for I LOVE NY marketing campaigns has produced results: Tourism in the Empire State is up 15 percent in five years, he said, and is now a $1.3 billion industry in the North Country. Ò When people are exposed to what we have here, they are sold,Ó Cuomo said.

I LOVE NY rolled out a new 30-second television spot highlighting Adirondack destinations following the event.

ADIRONDACK CHALLENGE Lawmakers, state commissioners and local dignitaries spent the day in nearby

Indian Lake to engage in good-natured athletic events.

Activities included horseback riding, hiking and whitewater rafting, a perennial staple since its introduction in 2013 when Cuomo persuaded former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to join him on a trip down the Hudson River.

State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) said the event Ñ which she referred to as an Ò Adirondack traditionÓ Ñ isnÕ t just a unique way to promote tourism, but is also a valuable networking exercise. Ò The results are real for this day,Ó Little said.

Regional tourism generated $169.4 million in state and local taxes last year, the governorÕ s office said in a statement following the event, and the tourism industry supports more than 21,000 jobs and $639 million in labor income annually in the Adirondack Park.

Empire State Development CEO Howard Zemsky tried his comic chops in a lengthy award ceremony prior to the governorÕ s comments.

Laced with dry humor, Zemsky referenced Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games in one sketch.

In another, when presenting an award to a group of lawmakers, he said: Ò Just remember for every ribbon you get, you have to stay in New York for at least a year,Ó which appeared to be an indirect reference to the stateÕ s new tuition-free college program. Ò You canÕ t believe some of the stuff they write,Ó he said, looking down at his notes.

Before touting the governorÕ s economic record, Zemsky said Cuomo was also Ò someone who will keep his commitment to keeping unemployment down by not firing me after these jokes.Ó Ò Howard works on all his own material,Ó Cuomo responded. Ò He spends many hours doing it, and he wrote every word of what he just prepared.Ó Politics also seeped into the event.

Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, a Binghamton-area lawmaker, thanked the governor for ongoing efforts to promote tourism in the state.

But the state AssemblyÕ s rafting team almost didnÕ t make it out of the gate, she said. Ò The governor insisted on trash talking us about the budget,Ó Lupardo said. Ò We did some trash talking back.Ó ABOVE: Gov. Andrew Cuomo visited Indian Lake and North Creek on Sunday, July 16 to promote tourism to the Adirondack Park.

EnoughÊ withÊ NY-21Ê birtherism

T

he election was just six months ago, but the cycle for New YorkÕ s 21st Congressional District is well underway.

Democrats are licking their chops at the prospect of unseating Rep. Elise Stefanik, a Republican.

Mid-term elections are historically bad for the governing party. Add an unpopular president, an inflamed electorate and the lawmakerÕ s vote for a controversial health care bill Ñ Whammo, itÕ s a recipe for success.

Four Democratic candidates have entered the race and party brass have said they envision as many as nine vying for the nomination.

The Green Party, too, is expected to field a candidate.

So itÕ s with this early interest that we want to nip a pesky issue in the bud.

Birthright.

Candidates are already tripping over themselves to stress their native credentials.

The refrain goes like this: Ò IÕ m Candidate X, and I was born here in the North Country. Only I can understand issues A, B and C. As such, IÕ m the only one who can represent you.Ó ItÕ s the North CountryÕ s very own birther issue.

As per federal law, representatives must be an inhabitant of the state they represent.

ThatÕ s it.

North Country birtherism dominated the GOP primaries in 2014 when Matt Doheny touted his native bonafides against Stefanik, an Albany County native who set up a political homebase in Willsboro to run for office.

During the general election, Aaron Woolf never managed to effectively parry attacks that he was an outsider despite coming here since he was a kid and his deep community involvement.

Two years later, Mike Derrick made residency a campaign centerpiece.

While he came out of the gate with a polished talking point Ñ I was born here, served my country and now IÕ m back to serve my community Ñ it didnÕ t make a lick of difference, and he was trounced by even wider margins.

WeÕ re now seeing a repeat of these talking points as Democrats line up to topple Stefanik.

One candidate is leading her early pitch to voters with the birthright issue.

Another glossed over the fact that she was born elsewhere, but told a reporter sheÕ d been vacationing here since she was a kid.

The polished response was undoubtedly gleaned from years of careful study.

This trope is one of the most cringeworthy aspects of politics in this district.

No candidate has ever successfully made a case for how being born here will allow them to be a better representative for the some 400,000 constituents who live here year-round.

ItÕ s clear voters simply do not care.

So why should the candidates?

While the North Country is full of unique traditions, itÕ s also a place where brain drain remains a problem, and that large sucking sound you hear every summer is the sound of young people leaving.

And while we admit the allure of the hometown kid going to Wash-

ington, D.C. does have its charms, residency does not indicate a leaderÕ s ability to serve their constituents.

Political success is based on a complex formula, not the least of which is who you know, how well you deliver for your constituents, as well as shrewdness and a killer instinct.

In being from here, perhaps youÕ ll be more fluent in North Countryese, but we canÕ t imagine it being an asset in a 435-member body thatÕ s paralyzed by inaction and infighting.

WeÕ re in contact with bright people daily.

Some are from here, some arenÕ t.

The author of this editorial didnÕ t move here until late-2013.

But that hasnÕ t stopped him from reporting on some of the most pressing issues facing local people in the Adirondack Park, and winning numerous awards for this newspaper in the process.

Blasting the birthright argument is not a partisan issue, nor is it a referendum on the current office-holder.

Candidates shouldnÕ t be faulted for pre-emptively addressing this issue Ñ itÕ s just the result of years of conditioning.

But we canÕ t think of anything more counterproductive than a growing field of hopefuls all trying to out Ò North CountryÓ themselves as this race slogs towards the finish line.

At the end of the day, it should be about your credentials, work ethic and the contents of your character Ñ not your birth certificate.

ABOVE: The North Country is a special place. But do you have to be born here to represent the region in Congress?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

AÊ brief Ê refresherÊ onÊ theÊ GOPÊ andÊ theÊ ACA To the Editor: On March 23, 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law. Since that time, the Republicans voted to repeal it 54 times. But during those seven years, they never took the time to develop an alternative.

In fact, it seems they never even considered a legislative replacement.

But now that they have control of the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate and the presidency, they have put forth three options for replacing the ACA Ñ after first legislatively repealing the law.

The first option was put forth by the Republican president. He offered a clear, simple solution.

The law he proposed would be Ò better and cheaper.Ó The Republican-dominated House of Representatives apparently felt a need for more specifics, so they provided their own proposal. This House proposal was not too well received by some of their constituents, colleagues and the U.S. Senate.

Following this, the Republican Senate Ñ disregarding the House proposal Ñ offered their own proposal, developed in secret. This also was not well received, at least partially because only a select few of the Senators were involved in drafting the proposal.

Some of the excluded Republican senators had problems with the substance of the proposal developed by their colleagues. Some of their comments suggested that by being left out of the process, they felt disenfranchised by their own party.

While both congressional entities disregarded the PresidentÕ s option for replacing the ACA, it is constitutionally correct to remember that laws are made by Congress and not by the president.

One needs only to consider recent past history to remember how little President Barack Obama played in the development of the ACA. Leadership makes a difference.

Now Mitch McConnell is calling the Senate back into session for two weeks in August to resolve, once and for all, a health plan for the people of our country.

Seven years, 54 votes to repeal, three political proposals, dark reports from the Congressional Budget Office Ñ all to be resolved in two weeks.

Would the Republicans please teach the Democrats how to run a political campaign if the Democrats promise to teach them how to govern?

Edward Welch Johnsburg

BattleÊ againstÊ invasiveÊ speciesÊ Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê alreadyÊ lost To the Editor: I appreciate The Sun shining a light on the problem of invasives. But as someone whoÕ s been involved with this fight since before the founding of APIPP, IÕ ll tell you this battle is already lost. New York long ago allied itself with the enemy.

The $12 million you describe as Ò a firehouse of fundsÓ is a drop in the bucket compared to what the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) spends facilitating the spread of invasives by building and maintaining boat launches they wonÕ t defend.

That vital function is performed part-time by an ad hoc group on a shoestring budget belying the title Ò Department of Environmental Conservation.Ó

Watching boats launch unsupervised and uninspected any hour they please, with DECÕ s consent, makes one think a better name would be the Ò Department of Environmental Corrosion.Ó The law that you tout, requiring Ò reasonable precautions,Ó is actually feeble and toothless, threatening only a slap on the wrist for a third offense.

I asked why it couldnÕ t include real penalties, and even such stalwarts as PROTECT and the Adirondack Council threw up their hands saying the boat manufacturersÕ lobby in Albany was just too powerful.

Indian Lake, until recently, the largest uninfested lake in the Adirondack Park, might as well brace itself for evermore degradation. Albany doesnÕ t see this invaluable resource as worth protecting.

With no hope for compelling legislation, and no money for full-time launch stewards, could we at least Ñ instead of offering Ò free boat washesÓ Ñ erect major signs at every Adirondack Park entry and boat launch stating a requirement for inspection and cleaning?

As someone who operates a private launch, I can tell you the natural goodwill and cooperation of boaters only goes so far. Many just want to get their boats into the water and donÕ t think twice about what hitchhikers theyÕ re carrying.

Weather,Ê climateÊ twoÊ differentÊ concepts To the Editor: This letter is in response to the letters sent to the editor

by Hans Kurr.

Mr. Kurr, can you share with us the titles of some of the peer-reviewed articles and abstracts on climate change that have helped you form your opinion?

Please just share the peer reviewed articles, not web articles, blogs, et. cetera, as these are readily available.

Also, it is important in discussing this topic that one doesnÕ t confuse Ò weatherÓ with Ò climate,Ó two different things.

Thanks in advance.

OldÊ JohnsburgÊ garageÊ shouldÊ beÊ razed To the Editor: Your paperÕ s article on the present condition of the former Johnsburg garage on New York State Route 8 was timely and deeply saddened me.

In the 1960s, the Johnsburg Garage was operated by Paul Scott. It was a successful business in a well-kept and maintained building. Paul would be personally distressed to see the condition of the building today. Likewise for Russell Hills, who owned and operated the Johnsburg Garage in the 1950s.

Today that building is a blemish on a township which otherwise seems to have a brightening future. Hopefully a resolution can be found to resolve the issue of this crumbling and abandoned building, which sorely needs to be razed.

Counties squeak by sales tax shocker

Gov. Cuomo calls legislature back to Albany to get bills passed

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The potential $7 million loss of revenue for Essex County has been eliminated thanks to an extended legislative session.

After the state Senate and Assembly left Albany two weeks ago without a deal on Home Rule legislation regarding the extension of sales tax increases for numerous counties Ñ including Essex, Franklin, Clinton and Warren Ñ Gov. Andrew Cuomo called for a special ses-

sion last week which resulted in the requests being passed.

Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston (I-Wilmington) said heÕ s pleased the measure finally went through. Ò I had a gut feeling it would work out, as the governor very well understands what that meant to the counties,Ó Preston said. Ò I hope this is not a part of the state going back to the dysfunction of the past.Ó The New York Association of Counties also hailed the measure, which would have impacted all upstate counties. Ò We are pleased that state leaders reached agreements that paved the way

for passage of a measure that includes a three year extension of sales, occupancy, mortgage recording and real estate transfer taxes; and a two year extension for mayoral control of the New York City School System,Ó said New York State Association of Counties President William E. Cherry.

The new deal increases the number of years counties will have between a state renewal from two up to three, with the issue coming up for state vote again in 2020.

The new extenders will take effect Nov. 1 of this year.

cOMMENTARy

From the Mayor

Time to fish or cut bait

Colin Read

Mayor of Plattsburgh, readc@cityofplattsburgh.ny,gov

T

he City of Plattsburgh mayor must produce a budget by Oct. 7.

IÕ m afraid we canÕ t wait that long.

IÕ d love the luxury of a reasonable fund balance, a low level of property taxes, and a council united in its recognition of fiscal challenges.

WeÕ ve none of those, and we canÕ t afford to continue to muddle as if we did.

You all know our city squandered a healthy $6.8 million fund balance to the deficit it is today.

You know that some would rather lob political hand grenades than offer solutions.

Well, now is the time for all good residents to come to the aid of the city. We need our best ideas, now. We must trust our financial experts, and we should either have faith in othersÕ analysis or put out our own.

However this happens, the message is simple.

The council charged me with coming up with a budget that cuts spending by $2 or more for every $1 increase in taxes.

It requires the city to begin to build up a fund balance so we arenÕ t constantly up against a budget wall.

And it requires us to spend the vast majority of our time in discussion about future financial viability rather than petty political quarrels.

We must do this because thatÕ s why residents elect their representatives. WeÕ re not here to plot our own political futures or advance our own pet projects. WeÕ re here to advance the best interests of our voters, and especially our childrenÕ s children, front and center.

So, when I proffer a budget this upcoming week that faithfully limits property tax growth to 4.9 percent, or preferably less, as mandated by the council itself Ñ and when I make $1.6 million in permanent and temporary cuts in 2017 and 2018 Ñ when I show a pathway to the rebuilding of our fund balance, and when I say this must begin now, not a few months too late, IÕ m doing what you asked of me.

These are my ideas, though.

They wonÕ t become a plan until the council either makes these ideas their own, or substitutes other ways to accomplish the same goals of solvency and sustainability.

ThatÕ s what political courage and leadership is all about Ñ to forge a great city our kids can afford. IÕ ll work doggedly for nothing else. I hope more councilors will accept my constant invitations to get to work with me.

Ranches, Rodeos & Wranglers Reunion returns this weekend

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE LUZERNE Ñ Former cowboys, cowgirls and other staffers of the areaÕ s many dude ranches that flourished in the mid-1900s are gathering Friday and Saturday in Lake Luzerne to celebrate cowhand culture.

The 2017 edition of the annual Ranches, Rodeos and Wranglers Reunion is set for Saturday, July 22 Ñ to be held primarily from noon to 10 p.m. at the Painted Pony Championship Rodeo off of Route 9N in Lake Luzerne.

The Wranglers event for the past four years has featured cowhands and rodeo competitors from decades past convening from afar, reminiscing about their experiences and escapades at the regionÕ s three-dozen dude ranches from the late 1940s through the early 1970s.

These cowhands shared tales of their exploits and those of many other notorious wranglers who worked at these once-popular western-themed ranch resorts.

Activities begin with Ò Cowboy CoffeeÓ from 9-10 a.m. at the Hadley General Store, followed by story-swap-

ping and viewing displays of memorabilia from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Gailey Hill Schoolhouse on Main Street in Lake Luzerne. This mid-day event features announcement of inductions into the local Cowhand Hall of Fame. Complimentary lunch is to be served to participants from noon to 1 p.m.

Photos, artifacts and other memorabilia will be on display at the Painted Pony Arena from 5-10 p.m.

An all-you-can-eat barbecue dinner is to be served from 6-8 p.m., when the rodeo competition begins.

This yearÕ s Wrangler reunion, coinciding with the National Day of the Cowboy, involves special recognition for Larry Bennett and his family members, who have been running Bennett Riding Stables for 75 years.

Bennett said Tuesday he was pleased that wranglers who worked in Warren County were receiving recognition through this annual event. Ò Here in Lake Luzerne, we are holding tight to the reins of this time-honored tradition of wranglers and ranches,Ó he said.

For details on the event, contact Pam Morin at 6967184 or pammorin@frontiernet.net.

Larry Bennett reminisces about the cowhands who worked at the 36-or-so dude ranches active in the mid-1900s in Lake Luzerne, Stony Creek, Thurman and Warrensburg.

INDIAN LAKE Ð Despite early morning storms and lingering showers, 90 paddlers participated in this yearÕ s Poker Paddle event.

Each participant paddled to checkpoints on Lake Abanakee between noon and 4 p.m., where volunteers awaited with a card for the paddlerÕ s poker hand.

At the completion of the event, the participants turned in their hands to officials. The winners were announced at in front of the chamber of commerce building in downtown Indian Lake.

Doug and Theresa Vaughn paddled a tandem entry and took first place with a flush. The duo received a check from the chamber for $150.

Steve Hicks finished with the second best hand, a straight, winning $125.

In third place was Celestine Stores, who won $100.

Barbara Storti had the fourth best hand and took away a $75 StewartÕ s gift card.

In fifth place was Lauren Romanoff, who received a $60 StewartÕ s gift card.

Over the last three years, the event has continued to grow in popularity from 23 participants in its inaugural year to 48 last year.

A total of $510 in prizes were handed out by the Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce.

The event was part of the Adirondack Challenge, the state-sponsored event designed to highlight tourism to the Adirondack Park.

Lake George drafts anti-fracking law as moratorium expires

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE Ñ Fracking-related activities should be permanently prohibited in town in order to protect the environment, local resident George Mathewson told town board members recently Ñ and board members assured him that work to enact such legislation was already underway.

Mathewson voiced a lengthy plea at the town boardÕ s July 10 meeting to enact a permanent ban as soon as possible, as a three-year moratorium on fracking is to expire Sept. 7.

Mathewson was a member of the townÕ s Comprehensive Plan committee

which originally recommended the local legislation.

Town Planning Director Dan Barusch said that the town has submitted a proposed anti-fracking law to the Adirondack Park Agency, as required by the state, and its review is pending.

Mathewson said he was worried that some enterprise would in the meantime dump fracking waste in the area, causing contamination of local waterways, or draw water out of the lake for fracking operations elsewhere.

Board members agreed with MathewsonÕ s concerns and said theyÕ d take action as soon as possible, perhaps voting on a ban at a special meeting in August.

Fracking is banned in New York State.

PARKING BAN The town board adopted a local law that both prohibits parking on the northern side of West Brook Road and regulates parking on the south side where new pay-and-display parking payment kiosks have been installed.

Parking is to be in designated spaces only with appropriate payment, but parking is free to local residents daily between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. Parking is always prohibited elsewhere on the road, including where stormwater drains are located.

According to an accompanying inter-

municipal agreement endorsed by the board, Lake George Village employees will be enforcing the parking on West Brook Road, collecting money and credit transactions at the kiosks and issuing tickets, with the village receiving 15 percent of the revenue.

Councilwoman Marisa Muratori said that people and businesses were erecting signs and banners around town that arenÕ t in compliance with local laws. She suggested that existing sign regulations be enforced Ñ and perhaps they need to be strengthened. Ò ItÕ s totally out of hand now. ItÕ s kind of Ô anything goesÕ now, so something needs to be done,Ó she said.

Urban decay subject of Lake George film Young filmmakers capture urban blight in new documentary

By Michael Hallisey | Special to the Sun Community News halliseym@spotlightnews.com

ALBANY Ñ There are more abandoned buildings than people in the United States Ñ especially in Albany, said local filmographer Frankie Cavone just days before his scheduled meeting with Albany County Executive Daniel McCoy. Take his assessment of urban blight as hyperbole, or not, but when factoring in the amount of abandoned property by square-footage within the City of Albany, Cavone is right.

The Capital City has 1,054 properties registered as vacant properties, according to its Vacant Building Report released by the Division of Buildings and Regulatory Compliance in January.

Assume a conservative estimate of 700-square feet per property Ñ the size of a modest apartment Ñ and the figure well surpasses the nearly 100,000 people who call Albany home. And, not all of those properties are residential.

Cavone is an urban explorer. He dives into abandoned buildings with camera in hand. At first, he said, the setting provided for interesting photographs.

Schools, churches, apartment buildings Ñ all subjects to which people can relate, but Cavone shows how they fall to disrepair, scarred by graffiti and pockmarked by water damage. Buildings once held in reverence by those who once walked through its halls, were left to crumble.

The recent SUNY Plattsburgh grad was introduced to urban exploring through the internet. As a class

94848

assignment, he paired up with friend and now fellow graduate Ramon Sanchez to film a documentary.

But his professor insisted the two find the Ò conflictÓ behind the situation. ThatÕ s when Cavone and Sanchez started looking at the issue beyond that of a canvas. It opened their eyes to the social problem.

On Saturday, July 29, the two filmographers will debut Ò Civil Corrosion: An Urban DocÓ at the American Legion Post in Lake George at 6 p.m.

Experts such as Alan Mallach of the Center for Community Progress in Washington, D.C. say urban rot stems from socio-economics.

One factor is that of the Ò White FlightÓ immediately after World War II, when predominately white families moved out of the cities and into the suburbs. The migration, and subsequent fall of downtown communities, was perpetuated by the development of giant shopping malls in the 1960s. Now store windows, like those on AlbanyÕ s Pearl Street, went empty as people shopped away from the city. Ò Solving urban blight is dependent on data,Ó said Mallach, as a keynote speaker for a panel of experts who gathered for a forum organized by the University at AlbanyÕ s Center for Technology in Government [CTG]. Ò If you donÕ t have good data Ñ for example, about the properties, the owners, foreclosure status, etc. Ñ youÕ re basically flying blind. Ò Once you get in the cycle of urban blight, it gets that much harder to solve,Ó said Mallach. Ñ For the full story, visit spotlightnews.com.

Frankie Cavone stands inside an abandoned high school, one of several locations he’s captured for his documentary that is to premier Saturday, July 29 in Lake George.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ A trio of players from Section VII have been named to the New York State SportswriterÕ s AssociationÕ s 2017 softball All State team.

SaranacÕ s Nikki Donah, the 2017 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference Pitcher of the year, was named to the third team in Class B after leading the Lady Chiefs to the Class B sectional title. She was the first Class B player named to the All State team since former teammate Tori Trimm and NCCSÕ s Madalyn Tucker in 2015. Ò Coaching Nikki Donah is an absolute pleasure,Ó Saranac head coach Sam Campbell said. Ò She joined the varsity halfway through her freshman year in anticipation of being our pitcher her sophomore year.

She has worked extremely hard and has put in a lot of extra time, almost year round into her pitching. I am extremely happy for her. To be on a New York State team is a great honor for any athlete especially in softball where Section VII gets so few. I am very proud of her and what she has accomplished for herself and our program at Saranac.Ó

After being snubbed an All State player after their final four appearance one year ago, the Ticonderoga Sentinels placed a pair of athletes on the All State team.

CVAC Offensive Player of the Year Haleigh Wright was named to the second team All State, while catcher Carly Campney was named to the fifth team. Ò IÕ m happy for both Haleigh and Carly for being selected to the all-state team,Ó Ticonderoga coach Eric Mullen said. Ò Both girls have tremendous talent for playing softball and itÕ s nice to see them rewarded for the statistical seasons they had. Haleigh had an MVP season this year which was a result of all the hard work and dedication sheÕ s had for softball on a year round basis for many years. Carly had another great season this year and itÕ s a reflection of all the experience and knowledge she has acquired over her many years of playing softball.Ó For the second straight year, Class D did not have an All State member, with the last Class D player earning the honor being Minerva/NewcombÕ s Anastasia Myler, a fourth (last) team selection in 2015.

ment at Word of Life. Ò ItÕ s a great time and a crowd favorite. Campers say itÕ s the highlight of the week, and we are happy to make it available to the public every Friday night. ItÕ s a great opportunity for families to come out for some fun.Ó The Word of Life rodeo, Nazigian said, is not an actual rodeo with some of the more dangerous elements, such as bucking broncos and bull riding. He said it is more along the lines of a Ò charreada,Ó which is a contest of ranch working and horsemanship skills. Ò We do have barrel racing, which is an actual rodeo event,Ó Nazigian said.

Nazigian said, although The Ranch has gone through physical changes over the years, and camp is now operated through July and August, The Ranch has always had a western theme with horsemanship classes and trail rides for youth and adult campers.

He said when the rodeo started it was originally a daytime event, however it was often too hot and dusty during the day. Ò About a dozen years ago, we added lights to the arena and now hold it at 8 p.m. when itÕ s cooler and not as dusty,Ó Nazigian said.

The rodeo is preceded by Family Fun Night at 7 p.m., which includes horse rides, bounce houses, music, food, a general store, face painting, and a fort playground.

Nazigian said in years past, the late Ray and Louise Ely, for whom the arena is now named, would bring the horses from Missouri. He said WOL still leases the horses from a horse farm in Missouri. Nazigian said the 20 or so Ò wranglersÓ who handle and ride the horses in the rodeo come from various places: some are students in the WOL Bible Institute who grew up with horses, others are young people who are spending summer at the camp, and still others are community members who take part each summer.

While the Family Fun Night activities are free, there is a cost for food and concession items, including the Ò Rodeo Burger,Ó which Nazigian could not talk about without smiling.

The Rodeo Burger, he said, is a quarter-pound burger served with caramelized onions, Cajun barbecue sauce, pepper jack cheese, and served on Texas toast.

The Ranch is located at 8192 St. Rte. 9, Pottersville.

Grant to bolster ILCS music program Nearly $21,000 in funds awarded by Charles R. Wood Foundation

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

INDIAN LAKE Ñ The Indian Lake Central School music department is leaving the 2016-17 school year on a high note.

The department received a $20.770 grant from the Charles R. Wood Foundation.

The funds will be used to purchase new sound equipment, including choral and musical microphones, an amplifier, mixer, speakers and a mounting rack. Ò New advancements in technology have come so far,Ó vocal/general music teacher Melissa Mulvey said. Ò The mixer has digital capabilities allowing for remote iPad and computer access as well as the ability to program and store microphone levels for specific events.Ó Gone will be the days, Mulvey said, of standing on top of the equipment and adjusting volume and feedback interference during concerts, musicals, sporting events and other venues. Ò We are extremely thankful to the Charles R. Wood Foundation for their gracious donation and continuing support for the arts.Ó Mulvey and instrumental music

teacher Jason Dora began writing grants early in the school year to seek receive funding to make needed changes and upgrades to their current sound system and lighting. Ò We received exciting news May 16, one day prior to the spring concert and budget vote,Ó Mulvey said. Ò It was the good news they had been waiting and hoping for came through.Ó

‘Care for Kids’ 5K returns July 30 CHESTERTOWN Ñ The 13th annual Ò Care for KidsÓ 5K run and fitness walk to benefit the pediatric program of the Hudson Headwaters Health Network is set for July 30 at 9 a.m.

The entry fee is $25 in advance and $30 after July 24.

The event course hugs the Schroon River in Ches-

School superintendent David Snide made a public announcement and congratulated Mulvey and Dora for their dedicated service to the school at the Spring Concert the following evening.

tertown for the first 1.5 miles before crossing over and heading east. The course ends at the YMCA Adirondack Outreach Center on the corner of Tannery Road and Route 8 in Brant Lake. Free transportation back to the beginning of the run is provided.

More information about the race, including the registration form and course map, can be found at hhhn.org or by calling 761-0300 ext. 31315. Registrations are accepted the day of the race.

Ò Or purebred, it doesnÕ t matter,Ó Warrington said.

There is also Ò My Dog Has TalentÓ competition in which dogs are judged on performing the best trick, as well as a costume contest.

Raffles and basket drawings start at 3 p.m.

Warrington said the event will draw close to 30 vendors. Adirondack SaveA-Stray will also bring shelter dogs and kittens.

Admission to the Ò Goes to the DogsÓ event is free. There is a $10 entry fee for the Adirondack Iron Dog and the Fun Dog Show. One dollar from every entry fee will go to local animal shelters.

The event is rain or shine and all wellbehaved dogs are welcomed. Dogs must be up to date on rabies and shots. the parcels.

The museum also alleges following the eminent domain hearing, Town Assessor Todd Anthony revoked the museum propertyÕ s tax exempt status and slashed the propertyÕ s assessed value from $1,188,000 to $850,000. Ò The $850,000, not coincidentally, reflects the amount the village would like to pay for the property, which was appraised at $1.5 million in 2015,Ó Kahn said.

Kahn referred to the actions as an Ò unprecedented assault on a nonprofit organization.Ó Ò The Village of Lake Placid boardÕ s attempt to grab the Adirondack Experience property for pennies on the dollar is unconscionable,Ó Kahn said. Ò They have damaged the value of the museumÕ s assets by attempting to manipulate its ap-

parent value though the slight-of-hand reduction of its assessed value.Ó The second lawsuit will be filed in Supreme Court against the Town of North Elba and seek to have the assessorÕ s Ò punitive actionÓ reversed and the tax exemption restored.

The Blue Mountain Lake-based museum, known as the Adirondack Museum until earlier this year, has long planned to construct a satellite branch at the site, which was once home to the Adirondack Church of the Nazarene, which the church demolished in 2007.

Anthony strongly denied wrongdoing and said vacant land isnÕ t grounds for exemption. Ò ItÕ s very straightforward the requirements for the exemption,Ó Anthony told the Sun. Ò ItÕ s not an exempt usage Ñ itÕ s a piece of vacant commercial land just

sitting there and thereÕ s no exemption for that. I had a responsibility to remove the exemption and I did.Ó Anthony said the assessment is based on what the parcels would sell for on the open market, and KahnÕ s opinion for what he thinks theyÕ re worth is a nonfactor.

North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said the law is clear in determining what is and is not tax-exempt.

Politi called the museumÕ s claims of collusion between the village and town Ò ridiculous.Ó Ò I know the tax assessor doesnÕ t talk to the village mayor or the board Ñ nor does he talk to me,Ó Politi said.

Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall didnÕ t return a telephone call seeking comment.
