Paid family leave begins in New York New law will allow eight weeks of jobprotected leave at 50 percent average weekly wage By Pete DeMola EDITOR

TICONDEROGA | New Yorkers gained a new safety net on Jan. 1. The state’s new paid family leave law is among the most generous in the nation, allowing jobprotected time off to bond with a new child, care for sick family members or pitch in when a loved one in the military is deployed. Employees may now take up to eight weeks of paid leave at 50 percent of their average weekly wage. When fully phased in over the next four years, state residents will be eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid time off annually at 67 percent. The new program applies to 6.4 million private-sector workers.

Beginning on Jan. 1, state residents may take up to eight weeks of paid leave at 50 percent of their average weekly wage. Gov. Andrew Cuomo outlined the new program on Long Island on Dec. 31, 2017. Photo provided/Ofﬁce of the Governor of the State of New York Full-time employees will be eligible after 26 consecutive weeks on the job, while part-timers working fewer than 20 hours per week will qualify after working 175 days within 52 weeks.

Advocates say the new law will provide critical support to family members caring for older relatives. “No one should ever be forced to choose

between caring for a family member and risking their economic security,” said Beth Finkel, state director of AARP New York, in a statement. » Family leave Cont. on pg. 7

NORTH HUDSON | With temperatures in the Adirondacks dipping well below zero, the Town of North Hudson’s Highway Department garage is toasty warm with its new wood pellet boiler. The new wood pellet boiler installed just in time for Christmas is a fully automated, self-feeding, high-efficiency unit that provides whole-building heat via the hot-water distribution system embedded in the concrete slab of the highway garage. The new boiler replaces an outdoor cord-wood burner that was no longer operational, and allows the town to greatly reduce the money spent on the heating oil furnace for the building. Town officials and employees were excited about the wood pellet boiler, North Hudson Supervisor Ronald Moore said. “We looked at other alternatives, but we decided that this is the best option for us,” he said. “We get to use wood for heat and we will support jobs and forest products industry through that decision, without requiring our town staff to spend time managing a cord-wood boiler.” » Pellet boiler Cont. on pg. 12

Reynolds announces campaign for Essex County sheriff Deputy’s entry sets up twoperson race for county’s top law enforcement job By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County Sheriff ’s Office Chief Deputy David Reynolds has announced his campaign for Essex County sheriff. Reynolds, 42, formally announced his candidacy on Tuesday at the Essex County Courthouse in Elizabethtown. “The career path I’ve taken, along with almost two decades of training and experience in law enforcement, combined with community task force and committee involvement, has definitely prepared me to be Essex County sheriff,” said Reynolds in a statement. Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting announced in December he will not run for a third term after 40 years of service to the county, including seven as the county’s top law enforcement official. Reynold’s entry to the race sets up a contest with Michael Badger, who currently serves as undersheriff. Badger announced his candidacy in December.

LONG CAREER

Reynolds, a 1993 graduate of Willsboro Central School, has been with the Essex County Sheriff’s Office (ECSO) since launching his law enforcement career in 1999 after encouragement and advice from the late Essex County Sheriff Henry Hommes, a friend and family member. He joined the department after his graduation from Clinton Community College with an A.A. in criminal justice and humanities and social science. In 2001, he scored at the top of his police academy class. The deputy, who currently holds the rank of major, said he possesses the extensive law enforcement experience paired with the administrative and supervisory skills necessary to lead the department. Over the past two decades, Reynolds said he has garnered experience supervising each the department’s three divisions: corrections, civil and road patrol. “My whole career has been in law enforcement,” Reynolds said. “In fact, most of my adult life has centered on serving the public in one way or another.” Reynolds, who resides in Westport with his wife, Heather, and two daughters, outlined three priorities if elected:

S-----.

People, the public and protection. The lawman said he would like to increase department training — clarifying policies and procedures for deputies and correction officers — while empowering them to do their jobs most effectively. Increased training, he said, will improve staff morale and reduce turnover, therefore reducing costs for the county. “We have a whole department of competent, professional deputies and correction officers,” Reynolds said. “I want to ensure that as sheriff, I surround myself with good employees so that I can empower them through education and training to do their jobs effectively.” When it comes to people-centered initiatives, Reynolds highlighted opiate abuse, mental health issues, domestic violence and other “acute” law enforcement situations as avenues when regular folks encounter the ECSO. The nationwide opiate epidemic continues to be entrenched in Essex County. “I would like to say it’s getting better but it’s not,” Reynolds told The Sun in an interview. “There’s too much demand.” He also underscored the department’s role on community task forces, councils and other regional organizations. As deputy, Reynolds sits on a number of those groups and attends regular meetings. Taking over the top slot, he said, will be a natural progression because he is already closely involved with these committees, making a potential transition a natural one.

EXPERIENCE CITED

Reynolds also counts himself responsible for ensuring that the department is able to take advantage of grant funding for equipment and training. “I am responsible for all the grant writing, ensuring that the department is able to purchase things such as body cameras for deputies, patrol car dash cameras, vehicle locators and internet capability in patrol cars without financial burden to the taxpayers,” he said. He cited establishing the deputy EMT program as a recent accomplishment. Since the program’s inception just over a year ago, deputies have responded to between 15 to 18 EMT calls per month, acting as first responders and stabilizing patients. Reynolds said he’s also had the opportunity to investigate and assist with trial preparation for high-level criminal cases, including those that involve animal cruelty, sexual abuse, domestic violence and drugs. “These cases are never pleasant, but they are a necessary to help ensure that public safety and community well-being remains the top priority of this office,” he said.

Essex County Chief Deputy David Reynolds announced his candidacy for sheriff. Photo by Pete DeMola And while the major said he takes a “black or white” approach to law enforcement, he also has the ability to empathize. After all, he said, his life was upended as a child when his brother committed a heinous crime. “It was a benchmark time in my life,” Reynolds recalled. “I was fortunate to have a lot of support around me.” If elected, Reynolds said he hopes to serve long-term. “Short of Sheriff Cutting running again, there is no one in Essex County with greater experience and commitment than me,” he said. Cutting has not yet endorsed a candidate, nor have county lawmakers or other officials. Both Badger and Reynolds are running as Republicans, setting up a primary contest between the two in September. If both candidates were to file as independents, they would then face off in the general election, which is slated for Nov. 6. As the nascent race heads into winter, Reynolds said he looks forward to meeting with voters countywide. “I’m going to be making myself available to answer any questions or concerns,” he said. ■

Mural revealed at Essex County Public Safety

Shared services, remembrance are themes in the new hand-painted installation By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

LEWIS |The hand-painted mural at the Essex County Public Safety Building takes up nearly an entire wall here. “In Memory of all our Fallen Heroes,” the giant landscape says. Designed and painted by Corrections Officer Cody P. Lang, a native of Crown Point, the addition to the shared conference room is meant as a lasting tribute. It highlights the shared services of both New York State Police Troop B Lewis Zone 3 troopers and staff and the Essex County Sheriff’s Office personnel. A lonely stretch of I-87 twists through a mountain pass on Lang’s mural with both a sheriff’s and a trooper’s patrol car coming through it. “When I was choosing these colors, I thought what would go with both departments,” Lang said of the warm grey and slate-blue tones she picked. “I wanted to put the two departments together,” she said. The goal was to highlight the cooperation within the Essex Public Safety Building, which was designed to house the Essex County Jail, along with both law enforcement offices and emergency services headquarters for the county. “When I started sketching out the road, it turned into the Northway,” she said. Law enforcement officers here patrol along

stretch of I-87 from points near Albany over 200 miles north to the Canadian border. Lang said she drew a similar mountain landscape mural at home before creating this one. And her career encompasses both artistry and correction’s officer training. “I’ve been painting, drawing, doing crafts with my mom (Pam) since I can remember. We both run our own crafts small businesses on the side.” In addition to painting murals, Lang also makes handmade soaps, wood carvings and jewelry.

“Now my officers and state police troopers get to know each other.” The new mural with both cars and both state police and sheriff’s department badges, depicts the shared effort, the sheriff said. “This does show a good sense of unity,” Cutting said. The wall in the conference room had been left undecorated since the building opened 10 years ago. “We’ve talked about this for years,” Cutting said. Lang estimated the wall mural took nearly 100 hours to complete, with particular attention to details in department insignia. “It was absolutely an honor to do this,” she said. ■

touch it adds to the shared conference room. “We have such a good working relationship with the sheriff’s department,” Tibbitts said, noting that the plan for shared space at the building and jail in Lewis has been very helpful to law enforcement efforts, especially during major events such as the prison escape search two years ago. “And this facility is top notch,” Tibbitts said. “It’s absolutely helpful,” Cutting said of the public safety facility’s intent to centralize communication. “Forty years ago when I started, it was almost a competition between troopers and the sheriff’s department to see who got to calls first,” Cutting said with a reminiscent grin.

Addressing EMT shortage, economic development cited as county’s top issues By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston was unanimously tapped by his colleagues to serve a second full term on Tuesday. Preston cited addressing the looming EMT shortage in the remote Adirondack region as a key priority. “People sadly are dialing 911 and are not getting an ambulance until an hour later, and that should not be happening in this day and age,” Preston told lawmakers. County officials have spent years batting around ideas to stave off the mounting shortage of volunteers before arriving at a countywide EMS district as a potential solution. Now the county is awaiting to see if they will be awarded a grant that will pave the way for its creation. “I think this is the year we’re going to get there,” said Preston, citing discussions with state officials. Lawmakers in December passed a resolution urging the state Senate to pass a bill giving counties the ability to create countywide EMS districts. “Twenty five cents per $1,000 of assessment — 25 cents — would fund this program as we go forward,” Preston said. “I don’t think 25 cents is going to hurt anyone.” Preston said he hoped to secure a one-on-one with Gov. Andrew Cuomo later this month to put a bug in his ear. “He’s the only reason we got movement on this,” Preston said. “You talk to him, in a week or so, you’ve got action.” Preston, of Wilmington, also said he looked forward to seeing the Gateway to the Adirondacks at North Hudson project fully realized, and thanked his colleagues and the governor for their efforts to transform the mouldering Frontier Town theme park into a regional tourism hub. While largely effusive of the state, Preston criticized the lengthy classification process for the Boreas Ponds parcels in North Hudson and Newcomb. “This has dragged on a very long time, and I don’t get it,” Preston said. “Make the decision, and let’s move forward.” The Adirondack Park Agency concluded the public hearing process in December 2016, and have been mum since then. Opening up the parcel for recreation will revitalize the entire county — not just the southern portion, Preston said. The second-term chairman also cited the rehabilitation of the Cornell Cooperative Extension Building in Westport as a leading concern. And he thanked county officials for their support following his brain cancer diagnosis last spring. “It’s kind of been a tough one for me,” Preston said. Preston has served as chairman since former Town of Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee resigned in November 2016 to take a state job in Warrensburg. “Just in case you were worried, I only want one more year,” Preston quipped.

GILLILLAND GETS SECOND TERM

Town of Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland was elected unanimously by his colleagues for a second term as vice chairman. He said he and Preston make a good team. Gillilland said Preston scared him when they first met four years ago. “At the time, the only thing I knew about him was ‘Bad Randy,’” Gillilland said, citing his headstrong and stubborn temperament. But Preston won him over, said Gillilland, because he’s “insightful, questions, listens, but most of all, is decisive.”

Opinion

Attitude is From the Editorial Board everything A call for a more civil 2018

With nearly every piece of information we receive, no matter the source, it’s clear By Dan Alexander that there are far too many divides within • PUBLISHER • this tiny planet. Even when friends and family gathered over the holidays, when joy and love should be overﬂowing, conversations sooner or later turned to the things that divide us. Politics, opinions, prejudices, and the attitudes of others are completely out of our control. Many people seem to start their day with a big chip on their shoulder, just looking for someone to try and knock it off. The bottom line is we all have choices. We can choose to set our attitude positively, or we can choose to go against the grain with a mindset that is combative and confrontational. Either way, your attitude is indeed one of the very few things you can have complete control over in your day. The impact of one’s attitude is more important than education, money and circumstances you’ll face during your day and sets the tone for success or failure. Some may say it’s even more important than physical appearance, skills or talent. As we start the New Year, nothing we’ve done up to today can be changed — it’s in the history books. You can’t change how other people choose to act. You can’t change the weather nor inevitable events already set in motion. The one tangible asset you have complete control over is how you choose to react and deal with the people and events of the day. Make no mistake about it: attitudes are contagious. Just look around, and you can see how attitudes today have changed and are far more combative than a few years ago. People tend to be more accusatory, disrespectful, and callous, especially toward those they disagree with instead of taking a complimentary approach in the hopes of defusing the situation and turning the conversation more positively. Would you rather have a conversation with someone who is frustrated, agitated and just plain miserable to be around or with someone who is thoughtful and approaches life in a positive light? All the more remarkable any one of us can with a little practice make an instant change on their attitude thermometer if they are willing to try and the more of us who can adjust will find their world a little brighter. ■

We’re no strangers to strong opinions in the news business. But we couldn’t help but notice the tenor of the public conversation in 2017 took a nosedive and bottomed out somewhere near the swamplike. In this era of extreme polarization, even the most mundane news items appear to elicit the sharpest of responses. This erosion of decorum is threaded across the spectrum, from public meetings to social media, which has always been a hotbed of anonymous nastiness. It seems like rage, venom and demonization is now the default — not the exception. We’ve all decamped to our specific corners and are walling ourselves in. Have we collectively gotten nastier? Or was 2017 just an outlier? We can’t ignore the elephant in the living room: Our president probably has something to do with this cheapening of public discussion.

He’s been widely criticized for his tweets and caustic demeanor that specifically target and bully individuals. While his aides defend his freewheeling style as punching back against critics, it’d be naive to think that his tone, which is unprecedented in U.S. politics, has not had a seismic impact on defining the threshold for what we as Americans now define as acceptable discourse. The same goes for Congress, where both Democrats and Republicans alike have excelled at the art of “whataboutism,” or simply wagging their finger across the aisle and charging the other side with hypocrisy without actually refuting their facts. It’s a logical fallacy that while may score immediate political points, has generally short-circuited policymaking and good governance in this country. And we’re all the worse for it. Lowering the standards of discourse has given people to cover to act out, and release their inner child.

We’re not naive enough to chastise folks and issue a forlorn, “Why can’t we all just get along?” plea for civility. But it’s astounding that people will think that sour attitudes and nastiness will somehow lead to optimal results. So much of the conflict we see on a daily basis stems from this lack of decorum, whether be in the public sector, at the office, home, on the sports field or wherever else. Levelheadedness, patience and the ability of listen to others appears to be completely absent nowadays alongside a general baseline of general social skills. It’s a fool’s errand to wish for a more tranquil year. But if you find yourself frustrated, upset and beleaguered over why things aren’t going your way, then perhaps the problem isn’t other people, but rather this collective lack of civility that has taken hold in our culture. Here’s hoping 2018 will be a calmer, more productive year. -The Sun Editorial Board ■

A year of results for the North Country By Rep. Elise Stefanik CONGRESSWOM A N FOR NEW YORK’S 21ST CONGRESSIONA L DISTRICT

Th is year we worked together on many important initiatives to help grow the North Country economy, help our veterans and military families, strengthen our local healthcare system and improve education. As 2017 comes to a close, it’s an important time to review the results in Congress we have achieved working on your behalf. This year, the House of Representatives has passed more than 470 bills and resolutions, 90 percent of which are bipartisan. Since I was sworn in, I’ve made over 660 stops across the district at small businesses, farms, schools and more speaking with the hardworking families I’m proud to represent. I’ve continued to focus on delivering results for our farmers, small businesses, seniors and veterans.

help bring their production into the 21st century. I also helped the House pass the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act. Th is bipartisan legislation updates federal career and technical education policies to help more students gain the knowledge and skills they need to compete for in-demand jobs. Additionally, I’ve introduced bipartisan legislation to boost North Country tourism by extending the time Canadian visitors can spend each year in the United States. I’ve also worked to pass legislation to develop EPA brownfields sites that encourage local job growth. And this summer, I helped the House pass the Financial Choice Act that would end taxpayer funded bank bailouts and provide increased access to capital for small businesses and entrepreneurs by eliminating onerous regulations.

STRENGTHENING GROWING OUR ECONOMY EDUCATION In Congress, I’ve been working on important legislation to help grow our local economy. I recently introduced two bills that will help increase access to rural broadband and provide our North Country farmers with increased broadband access to

I was pleased to see my initiative for year round Pell signed into law this past May, meaning students and families in our district now have another important tool to achieve their higher education dreams.

SUPPORTING OUR MILITARY FAMILIES

As the proud representative of Fort Drum and the Navy Nuclear Site at Kesselring, our district is home to thousands of military families that make incredible sacrifices serving our nation. We owe all our military families our sincerest gratitude, and one of my priorities in Congress is to address their concerns. This year I was proud to have a bill I authored pass the House of Representatives to eliminate a loophole that requires military spouses to establish residency every time the service member receives a new assignment—adding undue stress and anxiety to military families already under the pressure of managing their relocation. I also introduced two bills that were signed into law this month.

a reimbursement for licensing fees of up to $500 for each Permanent Change of Station. This bill was endorsed by the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), the National Military Spouse Network, and the National Military Family Association. And the Military Residency Choice Act will allow military spouses the choice to establish the same state of residency as their servicemember for voting and tax purposes.

SERVING OUR VETERANS

Our district is also the proud home of more veterans than any district in New York state. My district offices have been hard at work on behalf of our veterans, helping to recover over $2.25 million in hard earned VA benefits for our heroes. Congress passed an expansion of GI Bill education benefits that lifts the expiration on when veterans can use these benefits, giving them more flexibility to attend higher education institutions and obtain new skills later in life. And earlier this year, I helped Congress pass the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, which President Trump signed into law. » Stefanik Cont. on pg. 7

Free press crucial to holding government accountable

To the Editor: Is the media “the enemy of the American people,” as Trump has repeatedly claimed? Given this administration’s flagrant disregard for the First Amendment, it’s time for a wakeup call. Spielberg’s movie “The Post” will play in the North Country soon. You need to go. Flashback to June of 1971: The Vietnam War was going badly. I was just getting out of the Air Force. “The Pentagon Papers” — top secret documents chronicling the war — had just been leaked to the press and they were starting to print them. Tricky-Dick was furious. Daniel Ellsberg, a top military analyst, had leaked them and now all the lies the American people had been told about the war were going to be exposed. The administration tried to stop the press. That’s what the movie is about. Was Ellsberg a traitor? Or was he a hero? To the people-of-the-lie, he was a traitor, and would spend a lifetime in prison. To some, he was a hero.

» Stefanik Cont. from pg. 6 This important legislation makes it easier to terminate failing VA employees and provides stronger protections to whistleblowers who raise the alarm over waitlists or medical malpractice. No veteran deserves to be denied care, and this legislation brings needed accountability to the VA. Additionally, I co-introduced the Veterans Access to Community Care Act of 2017, which will require the VA to cover health care for services performed at non-VA facilities for veterans living more than 40 miles from a VA facility capable of providing the necessary care.

Either way, without this truth given to the people, about where the war was going, and why, and that it was not winnable, it would have continued to eat-up our young men, and eradicate the Vietnamese people. After the documents finally informed the people, we got out. So did Nixon! But not before 58,220 dead soldiers, two million Vietnamese civilians, one million Vietcong (if we can ever really know), and spending over a trillion dollars (in 2003 dollars). Other disturbing facts were learned: McNamara reported it as unwinnable. We used more TNT (equivalent) than the nukes dropped on Japan. And our revised reason for being there was 10 percent for the Vietnamese people, 20 percent to check communism, and 70 percent to save face. These documents are available to the public. Not freedom! Face! Ron LaDue, Brant Lake ■

More stats needed on illegal immigration claims

To the Editor: I have come to eagerly await the weekly arrival of The Sun as it has proven to provide wonderful coverage of what is going on in

HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS

Healthcare is another issue I hear frequently about when I speak with families and businesses across our district, especially ensuring our rural communities have the access they need. This year I introduced a bipartisan bill, the Community Health Investment, Modernization and Excellence (CHIME) Act of 2017, to extend the Community Health Centers Fund for five years. Federally Qualified Community Health Centers like Hudson Headwaters, North Country Family Health, and the Community Health Center of the North Country

our North Country. This week’s, dated Dec. 30, does not disappoint. Coverage of city and county “goings on” is always concise and informative. The article by Mr. Thomas Batha titled “The Cost of Illegal Immigration” caught my eye as I, too, do not support illegal immigration which basically puts illegals cutting ahead in the line of lawful immigrants and bypassing our admission screening process. Mr. Batha ends with several paragraphs that contain what he describes as cost statistics that are “readily available,” including $190 billion a year spent on illegal aliens for welfare and social services”; “illegals working “off the books” suppress wages by an estimated $200 billion a year and so on, including many more statistics that state a staggering amount of money is spent on this population. The issue I have is that you did not identify your source of information, and I would like to know where you got these figures. I am not saying you are wrong — or right — but in this era of “fake news” and assumptions, I feel stating where you obtained these facts and figures is very important to passing on correct information. It’s a well-written article, but I hope it is not just speculation. That would be very unfair to the debate. Margaret Kraemer deGrandpre, Plattsburgh ■

provide over 95,000 people in the North Country with critical healthcare and preventative services, and it’s important to the needs of our community that this funding be extended. I’m pleased we have over 200 cosponsors for this bill; the overwhelming bipartisan support for CHIME was instrumental in passing legislation in the House in November to extend the Community Health Center Fund for two years. I am continuing to work on a funding fix in the final year end spending package. Additionally, I’ve been a strong supporter of the Children’s Health

Insurance Program (CHIP) and voted to pass a five-year reauthorization in the House in November. I’ve also cosponsored legislation, the Rural Hospital Access Act, that would secure funding for our Medicare Dependent hospitals, a critical issue to ensure our North Country seniors receive the care they need. It’s been a busy year working hard on your behalf to grow our economy, increase access to education, serve our brave veterans and much more. I’m honored to serve you in Congress and look forward to continuing to work my hardest on your behalf. ■

Birth Announcement Adelynn Grace Mitchell

WESTPORT | A baby girl, Adelynn Grace Mitchell, was born to parents Marcus Mitchell and Shelby Kimball of Westport on Aug. 16, 2017 at CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh. She was born 7 pounds, 5 ounces and 21 inches. ■

New York’s population is growing older than the rest of the country, particularly in the Adirondack Park, which will rival Florida’s west coast as having the oldest population in the U.S. if current trends continue. Becky Leahy, CEO of North Country Home Services, said the new legislation is welcome as more and seniors “age in place,” or outside of nursing homes and senior centers. Family members are the first resource when someone has a health issue, she said, and the new legislation will help make the transition less stressful. “There is a caregiver shortage in the country and it’s only going to get worse,” Leahy said. The program is mandatory for nearly all private employers, and public employers may opt into the program. Coverage will be included as a rider to an employer’s existing disability insurance policy, and will be funded by employees through payroll deductions. Contributions in 2018 will be 0.126 percent

of an employee’s weekly wage. “It is a very small amount, about $1 a paycheck,” said Zach Hutchins, director of communications for the Business Council of New York State. Erik Rettig, the northeast/mid-Atlantic director of the Small Business Majority, said the law will be beneficial to small businesses. “Many small employers want to offer paid leave benefits to their employees, but simply don’t have the resources to do so,” Rettig said in a statement. Small business owners support the policy, he said, because paid leave benefits can help attract and retain talented employees. “It allows small businesses to offer a benefit that is typically reserved for larger firms at no added cost,” he said. But while employers are not required to pay in, when paired with other mandates — including the staggered annual increases in the state’s minimum wage law — the administrative burden can be problematic, Hutchins said. “You add all of these mandates together and it becomes particularly difficult on small

New Year meal set The next Ti Community Dinner is free as always By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

business owners,” Hutchins said. The state’s minimum wage rose to $10.40 upstate on Jan. 1, and to $11.75 for fastfood workers. New York joins California, New Jersey and Rhode Island in providing the program. The federal Family Medical Leave Act allows employers with at least 50 or more employees time off to care for a newborn, but the time is unpaid. Just 14 percent of the U.S. workforce has access to employer-sponsored paid family leave, according to the governor’s office. A new middle class tax cut also went into effect on Jan. 1, a measure that will benefit 4.4 million New Yorkers and is projected to save taxpayers $4.2 billion annually by 2025. Taxpayers will see an average state tax cut of $250 in 2018, a number that will rise to $698 once the program is fully phased in by 2025. “The rate goes from 6.4 (percent) down to 5.5,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday. “About a 1 percent cut for the salaries up to $150,000, so not only will you make more, but you’ll save more in state taxes.” ■

ELIZABETHTOWN | The field of candidates seeking to unseat Rep. Elise Stefanik has grown larger as another candidate has joined the race. Greenwich Town Supervisor Sara Idleman announced her decision to run last Thursday on social media. “I’m excited about it,” Idleman told The Sun on Friday morning. More details will be be rolled out at the formal campaign announcement on Jan. 6 at the Greenwich Elks Lodge No. 2223, she said. Idleman, a Democrat, has served as town supervisor for eight years, and sits on the Washington County Board of Supervisors. According to her website, Idleman is lifelong resident of Easton and Greenwich. The lawmaker, who taught government and American history in Cambridge and Greenwich central schools for 25 years, grew up on a dairy farm. “She understands the challenges that so many small businesses, farms, rural towns and residents in our region face on a day-to-day basis and is dedicated to representing that voice in government,” her website states. » Idleman Cont. on pg. 16

Business Park is full Moriah’s industrial park has no more free space By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

MORIAH | The Town of Moriah is taking ownership of Tom Phelps Way in the Moriah Business Park, along with the private water and sewer mains there. WhistlePig Rye Whiskey out of Shoreham, Vt. has finished locating its storage facilities in the park, Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said at a recent Moriah Town Council session. WhistlePig is located on Tom Phelps Way. “These mains were put in place by WhistlePig,” Scozzafava said. Fuller Construction of Keeseville put the road in, and Town Highway Superintendent Jamie Wilson said he’d like to get the engineering plans to keep on file. The council voted to assume ownership

WhistlePig Rye Whiskey has its storage facilities up and running in the Moriah Business Park. The town has agreed to take over the road and water and sewer mains where the distillery warehouses are located. Photo by Lohr McKinstry of the road and mains. Scozzafava said Pre-Tech is buying its building in the park and putting on an extension, and the Moriah Health Center, WhistlePig and High Peaks Hospice are all doing fine. “The industrial park is full; I never thought I’d see that,” Scozzafava said. WhistlePig has a four-phase construction plan for facilities to store and eventually distill and bottle rye whiskey in the Moriah Business Park. The plan is to build a total of seven 14,000-square-foot storage structures for the operation. Four of the buildings are strict-

ly for storage and aging of the whiskey, and the firm estimates five employees at first. Wilson said the highway crew handled the first snow storm of the season recently. “It went pretty well,” he said. “We did have some complaints. We have two trucks that are down. Other than that, we’re doing OK.” “I agree, it went pretty well,” Scozzafava said. “The only complaint I heard was about trucks going too fast.” New sidewalks on Main Street in Port Henry will be postponed to spring, Scozzafava said. He said the project, to be done with a state

Department of Transportation grant, will include new historic-looking street lamps. “We (the town) have to put the conduits in and set the lamp posts,” Scozzafava said. The Town Council voted to go to bid for Iron Center Museum door replacement “SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) won’t let us deviate,” Scozzafava said. “They want the same doors put back.” The existing doors at the town-owned museum next to the Town Hall are deteriorated. Scozzafava said they’ll have a bid opening in February 2018. ■

Correction officer is charged

MORIAH | A state correction officer at the Moriah Shock Incarceration Facility has been arrested for allegedly falsifying sick time. Christopher R. Brokos, 29, of Peru, was arrested and charged with the felonies of 1st degree offering a false instrument for filing and 2nd degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. Brokos was arraigned in Moriah Town Court and released on his own recognizance pending a reappearance date. The charges allege Brokos submitted a forged employee request for family medical leave form to his employers at the Moriah Shock Incarceration Facility in September 2017, to justify his extended absence from work. An investigation by state Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott alleged that Brokos, an employee of the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, called in sick at Moriah Shock on Sept. 9, 2017 and returned to work on Sept. 18. Leahy Scott said Brokos used forged medical documents in an attempt to justify his sick leave. The state requires that any sick leave of more than three consecutive days be substantiated with medical documentation. When Brokos returned to work, he allegedly filed a falsified employee request for family medical leave form indicating he took the leave to care for a relative. However, when contacted, the physician named in the medical form provided a sworn statement that he did not treat Brokos’s relative. New York State Police assisted with the arrest, and the Essex County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting. ■

State approves Adirondack cuisine trails Ag & Markets goahead moves trailblazers toward launch of new food, brew and farm adventure By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ESSEX | A proposed series of cuisine trails in and around the northern Adirondacks has passed a major hurdle. The state Department of Agriculture and Markets has approved six proposed trails, according to Jay White, president of the board of directors of Cornell Cooperative Extension, who coordinated what has grown into a region-wide effort through the past two years. The tasting and trails would offer path-

ways for visitors and residents to explore area farm, restaurant and beverage destinations. And lodging properties will ideally host programs centered on local foods or food production and agricultural history. The trails, White said, will connect the region’s agricultural and local brewery assets into a unique travel destination. “Agriculture and Markets approved the following trails: Champlain Valley Cuisine Trail, Boquet Valley Cuisine Trail and Ausable Valley Cuisine Trail (Essex County); North Country Cuisine Trail and Champ’s Cuisine Trail (Clinton County; and the Adirondack Lakes Cuisine Trail (Franklin County),” White said in announcing the decision. “This was an amazing team effort from start to finish,” White said. “Originally proposed by Cornell Cooperative Extension as one trail in Essex County nearly two years ago, is now a web of trails spreading across three counties.” While some might think the hard work is done, he said, coordinators in three areas will now formalize an Adirondack Cuisine Trail

Association board of directors and establish by-laws, which allows the group to begin promoting farm stands, local eateries, food events, lodging and breweries along mapped corridors. Ag & Markets Commissioner Richard A. Ball will soon send formal letters of approval for all six trails, White said. “Ag & Markets should be submitting the formal paperwork to be listed in the State Register by the end of the month,” White told The Sun. “It’s been quite an interesting process, one that has evolved over the last two years. The trails will be permanently designated so they will be year round,” White said. “The next goal is to get signage for all the farms and businesses.” State sanction may allow for agricultural tourism resources or other funding support through the state’s burgeoning farm, food and craft beverage branding efforts. Taste NY, the statewide branding platform for locally grown and produced food and beverage industry, has begun to build its website featuring trail systems. Already in place are about a dozen wine,

beer and farm adventures from Schoharie County to the Finger Lakes, from Niagara to Warren and Saratoga counties. Adirondack Harvest has also prepared space on their website to help launch the trails. White expressed appreciation to the many tourism, food and farm advocates who worked to achieve six trail sections in the northern Adirondacks and Clinton County. “My sincerest gratitude goes to members of the original organizing committee: Monica McGaughan, Josh Bakelaar, Dan Rivera, Sarah White, Nancy Belluscio, Lindsay Pashow, Anita Deming and Cynthia Johnston,” he said. “They helped bring a solid foundation to the cuisine trail concept. As word of their efforts spread, stakeholders in other counties came on board. Ernest Hohmeyer and Shannon Oborne in Franklin County and Alyssa Senecal in Clinton County worked very hard to bring folks together to create their trails.” White also thanked Rick Levitre, director of CCE in Essex County, for his continued support. ■

able to us, this decision is a real no-brainer for our town,” said Moore. “But this will be a gift that keeps on giving, to our town, its taxpayers, its staff, and the regional economy.” Launched in 2014, Renewable Heat NY is Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s initiative aimed at building a sustainable, high-efficiency, lowemissions wood heating sector in the state. It also supports quicker development of this industry, raises consumer awareness, supports New York-based advanced technology heating businesses, and encourages local sustainable heating markets, said Energy Research and Development Authority President Alicia Barton. “By choosing a clean and efficient wood boiler, North Hudson is demonstrating that it’s possible to reduce expenses, improve operations and make environmental progress at the same time, a triple win,” she said. “Projects like this one that are supported by Renewable Heat New York are part of Governor Cuomo’s nation-leading strategy to create a cleaner, more affordable energy system for all New Yorkers and I applaud North Hudson for helping lead the way.” The town’s project was several years in the making. “We are thrilled that North Hudson is joining hundreds of other municipalities, businesses and homeowners across the Northern Forest by making the switch to use an au-

tomated pellet boiler,” said Northern Forest Center Program Director Maura Adams. “The Northern Forest Center has supported nearly 150 similar installations to date, and we see the results every day through satisfied consumers and measurable regional results. “We’ve calculated that these installations have generated $2.6 million in regional economic benefit, and saved 3,200 tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere.” The Northern Forest Center, based in Concord, NH, helps create economic opportunity and community vitality from healthy working forests in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York, and supports automated wood heat for the region’s heating needs, said Adirondack Project Manager Leslie Karasin of Saranac Lake. “For each dollar spent on heating oil, 78 cents immediately leaves the region,” said Karasin. “When we buy wood pellets, every dollar stays local, and ripples through the economy, supporting jobs and local industries in our communities.” The Center’s Adirondack Model Neighborhood work has received funding from the Northern Border Regional Commission, as well as private sources, she said. North Hudson worked working with Ehrhart Energy on the installation. Ehrhart, based in Trumansburg, is a qualified contractor through the state’s Renewable Heat NY program, and an experienced installer of wood pellet boilers. “We are happy to be helping North Hudson make the switch to using a wood pellet boiler,” said Ehrhart Energy President William Overbaugh. “This is a heating solution that is a great fit for North Country communities, as well as many rural communities across New York state, and Ehrhart is excited to bring the convenience, cost-effectiveness, and comfort of this heating solution to North Hudson with this installation.” The installation is utilizing a Pellergy boiler. The company, based in Montpelier, Vt., imports a state-of-the-art Austrian boiler and sells it in the U.S. market. “We have seen the adoption of this boiler technology taking off in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine,” said Pellergy General Manager Andy Boutin. “We’re excited that New Yorkers are starting to take advantage of this opportunity as well.” North Hudson is getting its wood pellets from Curran Renewable Energy LLC of Massena, which delivers the pellets by truck to the furnace’s pellet bin. ■

National History Day schools sought Fort Ticonderoga is getting ready for the next event

Students also compete in two divisions: Junior (grades 6-8) and Senior (grades 9-12). “More than half a million students from all 50 states participate annually in a program that develops the critical thinking skills necessary for success in today’s business world,” said Fort Director of Academic Programs Rich Strum. “A recent study found that this project-based program has proven benefits such as increased test scores, greater aptitude for reading comprehension, and analytical skills.” The first and second place winners in each category and in both divisions advance to the New York State History Day contest in Cooperstown, on Monday, April 23, 2018. The top finishers at the state level advance to the National History Day contest in College Park, Maryland, June 10-14, 2018. North Country teachers interested in learning more about History Day can contact Strum at Fort Ticonderoga, at rstrum@fort-ticonderoga.org. ■

SCHROON LAKE | Schroon Lake Central School’s Big Read project will take on the classic Western novel “True Grit.” The book by Charles Portis was filmed twice, the first time with John Wayne as anti-hero Rooster Cogburn, for which Wayne won his only Oscar. Schroon Lake Central School Supt. Stephen Gratto said the school got an $8,600 National Council on the Arts Big Read grant for the program. A month’s activities at the school will center around “True Grit,” which students are reading, he said. The April 20, 2018 kickoff will begin a month of guest speakers, discussion of life in the Adirondacks in the 1800s, the value of grit in life, a

historic lantern light tour of Schroon Lake and a campfire night. “It (the book) went well with our Adirondack frontier heritage,” Gratto said. “We’re twinning our history of Frontier Town with the book.” On May 19, the first Wild West Frontier Town Festival will be held in Schroon Lake. “We’ll close off the street by the beach and have musical entertainment, we’ll reenact some things from Frontier Town, a wagon that gets robbed as it goes up down the street,” Gratto said. “The bad guy usually got dunked in the water. There’ll be a Wild West juggling show.” He said that’s how the Big Read connects to the school’s new Juggling Club. Frontier Town was an iconic Wild West theme park in North Hudson, which has been closed since 1998. The state intends to turn a portion of the facility into a welcome center for the Adirondack Park and the Boreas Ponds area. This poster shows the dates for the Schroon Lake Big Read in 2018.

MORIAH 61, NEWFIELD 52

CLASS D STATE TITLE GAME For the first time in modern playoff history, Section VII claimed it’s first state basketball crown thanks to the Moriah Vikings, who cruised through the regular season and advanced to Binghamton. The Change of scenery from Glens Falls seemed to work, as the Vikings cruised in their opener before falling down early to Newfield in the state title game. Sticking to their gameplan, the Vikings eventually tired out their foe, who only subbed once the entire game, and a strong fourth quarter sealed the state championship in favor of Moriah in their fourth straight final four appearance. Now, the Vikings have a new goal: Repeat. ■

#3 - DUEL IN CLASS C

In the Class C baseball regional semifinals, the Ticonderoga Sentinels faced the second ranked team in the state in Hoosic Valley. Dan Dorsett gave the ball to Dalton Granger, and he did not disappoint, going the distance on the mound and giving up only five hits and no runs as the Sentinels advanced with a 1-0 win into the regional final round, where they would lose to Potsdam. ■

Game three between the Moriah Vikings and Ticonderoga Sentinels in boy’s basketball started with a big lead for the Vikings, who were looking to avenge what would be their only loss of the regular season. A fourth quarter comeback and Evan Graney buzzer-beater, and the game was headed into overtime. However, like the first league game, it would be the visitors, this time the Vikings, who won. ■

#7 RIVALRY

The Lake Placid Blue Bombers Nordic ski team reclaimed the NYSPHSAA state championship for the second time in as many years with a dominating performance at the North Creek ski center at Gore Mountain. The team was originally supposed to go to western New York to compete, but lack of snow moved the event to the Adirondacks. ■

A few months after earning a spot for the Chazy Eagles in the state soccer championships, Kade Collins was at it again, this time using his stick as a defenseman for the Beekmantown Eagles hockey team, scoring in overtime against Salmon River to advance the Eagles to the NYSPHSAA Final Four in Buffalo, where they were defeated in the semifinal round. ■

#5 - OT THRILLER

A year after losing in a playoff to Joey Stahl of Moriah, Lake Placid golfer Bjorn Kroes was not going to let that happen again as the senior shot a 68 - yes, something usually done only by professionals - on day one of the Section VII championships at the Barracks Golf Course. Kroes won the individual title and helped his team to the Section VII title, as well. ■

The Chazy Eagles boy’s varsity soccer team got a second half goal from Conner Morse to level the Eagles 1-1 with Mount Academy in the NYSPHSAA Class D title game. The two teams finished in a draw, giving Chazy it’s eighth state title, tying Pittsford Mendon for most in state history and giving head coach Rob McAuliffe two more than any other coach in the state. ■

#9 - NEAR PERFECT

#10 - LOW SCORING

A year after making their Cinderella run, the Moriah Lady Vikings made a return to the Section VII/Class D soccer championship game. While it looked like they may be going home after trailing 3-1, the Vikings scored a 4-3 win over the Lady Griffins and advanced past the regional round and into the NYSPHSAA Class D Final Four in Cortland. ■

Through the first 11 times he had stepped up to the line, Mitchell Trost of Beekmantown was able to find the pocket every time, looking up at the scoreboard at the NYSPHSAA bowling championships and only seeing “X.” Trost felt he threw the best ball last - or, second to last saying, “it was the perfect shot, and then the eight pin decided to stay up.” The 299 was the highest at the meet. ■

The Section VII/Class B championship football game was not for those who love offensive explosions. Instead, it was a who blinks first matchup between the Indians and the Hornets, where the only miscue was on an extra point attempt as Peru was able to come away with a 7-6 victory over the Hornets and advance into the state rounds. ■

You can ride a hot goalie in the game of soccer, and that is what Saranac did all the way to the Class B regional finals. In the semifinal round, Cameron Duffield did not allow a goal and then stepped up to bury the first shot in the shootout as the Chiefs went on to beat OFA. ■

No one expected Lake Placid to be back in the regional finals this season, with all the players they had lost and the youth on their squad. Notwithstanding, the Blue Bombers scored a 1-0 win over Maple Hill, the team who bounced them out of the state playoffs one year earlier. ■

Ticonderoga going after drug problem Sgt. Dale Quesnel trained as narcotics investigator

Ticonderoga now has a full-service K9 and K9 handler.” With that, LaVallie said the department is going to “continue plans to take an aggressive and proactive approach with all narcotics in this town. K9 Tusko will be utilized to the fullest extent.” Ticonderoga has a strong opiate addiction problem, and the group Ticonderoga Neighbors Addressing Drug Abuse (TiNADA) was formed to try to address the issue. TiNADA came together in 2013 in response to community concerns about prescription drug abuse in the Ticonderoga area. The group sponsored the recent substance-free New Year’s Eve party at the Ticonderoga firehouse. LaVallie said they appreciate the support of the Ticonderoga Town Council in the fight against use of illegal narcotics. “The Ticonderoga Police Department would like to thank the town board for their support in this program,” he said. ■

TICONDEROGA | The Ticonderoga Town Police Department now has an officer trained as a narcotics investigator. Sgt. Dale Quesnel recently completed training from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services in narcotic detection, Acting Chief Michael LaVallie said. With the certification, Quesnel will be concentrating on the drug problem in Ticonderoga, the chief said. Quesnel is also the handler for Tusko, the department’s police dog, who was previously paired with Officer Heather Genier. “Over the last few months, our K9 Tusko and Sgt. Quesnel have been working hard together to complete all training necessary for a K9 handler,” LaVallie said. “The Town of » Idleman Cont. from pg. 7

FUNDRAISING DEADLINE LOOMS

Idleman’s entry to the crowded field comes two days before the Dec. 31 fourth quarter fundraising deadline. Stefanik, a Republican, raised $279,560 in the third quarter. Boyajian, an environmental lawyer, led the Democratic pack with $208,000 raised ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline. The race is poised to an expensive one as candidates compete to pick off Stefanik, a moderate Republican who is seeking a third term against

the backdrop of a highly unpopular president. Mike Derrick, the Democratic nominee in 2016, raised about $1.24 million during the entire campaign cycle. Candidates now are on track to surpass that seven months before the first nominating contest in June. Several hopefuls have been traveling the expansive district, engaging in retail politics and making their cases to voters and small knots of progressive activists. A candidate’s forum is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 7 at the Moreau Community Center in South Glens Falls. ■

County OKs relocating Obituaries employees from ailing CCE building Future of historic facility in Westport remains undecided By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | County lawmakers have authorized the relocation of county employees from the Cornell Cooperative Building in Westport to the Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall in Lewis. The county purchased the building for $165,000. Lawyers on both sides are still completing legal paperwork, and the sale has yet to be finalized. County lawmakers are still smarting over a failure to net state grant funds to rehab the structure, which has been deemed hazardous by engineers. Now they’re trying to figure out a way forward. But the employees have to go. “It’s incumbent to take action for public safety,” Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland told lawmakers on Wednesday. Lawmakers voted 17-1 to move the seven Cornell Cooperative Extension employees to Lewis, with Michael “Ike” Tyler (R-Westport) casting the lone dissenting vote. The county must conduct minor site work at the new facility to accommodate the new occupants, including wall partitions and electrical work, which the board also authorized on Wednesday. “I don’t anticipate a huge amount of cost,” said Essex County Manager Dan Palmer. “The building lends itself to an office the way it is. I don’t anticipate a lot to get it ready.”

The five Essex County Soil and Water Department employees displaced by the building’s sagging condition are expected to be moved to the county’s Department of Public Works complex in Lewis, the site of an upcoming $100,000 addition project. The county’s Community Resources Department will join Soil and Water at their new home. The public defender’s office will then be liberated from what one lawmaker referred to as a “dungeon” and shuttled over to the former Community Resources space in the building next to Stewart’s Shops in Elizabethtown. Officials haven’t zeroed in on plans for the CCE Building, but appear to be leaning towards conversion to three-season usage, citing the projected $2 million price tag for giving the historic structure a total overhaul. “I would never recommend the county spend upwards of $2 million to rehabilitate that building, which is the estimates we’ve been receiving,” Palmer said. “I don’t see it as a long-term use for office space. “It would be appropriate for the board to consider the move from Cornell to the Jehovah’s Witnesses building a permanent one.” Chesterfield Supervisor Jerry Morrow (DChesterfield) said he hoped that wouldn’t be the case. “I’d like to see Cornell put right back in that building,” Morrow said. “Hopefully we can keep applying for grants because it’s a good building and I don’t want to see it go to waste.” Gillilland said he hoped employees could be moved this winter. The building was not designed to be heated throughout the winter, and years of improper use have led to ongoing water and vapor damage. “If we get out of the hole, the first thing is to stop digging,” Gillilland said. “The longer we wait, the more expensive it’s going to be.” ■

Robert Cossey TICONDEROGA | Robert Cossey, 91, of Ticonderoga, passed away on Christmas Eve because he wanted to spend Christmas with his wife, Vivian, who passed away in August. Bob was born in Ticonderoga on Aug. 16, 1926 to Ernest and Jenny (Covell) Cossey. Bob graduated from the Ticonderoga Central School in 1944 and then went on to work at International Paper Company for 39 years. He married Vivian Hozley in October, 1947, they were married for almost 70 years. He is predeceased by his wife, parents; three brothers, James, Gerald and Ernie Cossey; and three sisters, Marian Sweeney, Buelah Soppa, and Norma Ives. Survivors include his three sons, Ron Cossey of Ticonderoga, Doug Cossey and his wife, Barbara of Ticonderoga, and Robert Cossey, Jr. and his wife, Susan of Rexford; his daughter, Beth Ross and her husband, Doug of Ticonderoga; eight grandchildren, Danny Cossey, Matt Cossey, Sara Dorsett, Courtney Cossey, Nate Yaw, Adam Yaw, Samantha Cossey and Eva Cossey; six greatgrandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. One of Bob’s passions that he has had since he was a young man was flipping houses. He did that before flipping houses were popular. He was also very quick witted with a great sense of humor. Here is a quote that was said at their 50th wedding anniversary party that is so fitting: “The world would be a better place to live if more people conducted their lives like Bob and Viv.” There will be a celebration of Bob’s life in the spring.

When she returned to Crown Point she enjoyed working in the gardens; canning and preserving her bounty. She was active in Home Extension learning many skills to enhance her home. She and Frederick enjoyed boating and square dancing with the Mountain Doers. With Larry she traveled to Hawaii and Mexico and they camped in their Airstream up and down the East Coast. She went on a trip to Italy with the church. She loved her travels but was always glad to be “in her home by the side of the road.” She enjoyed having her home open to family and friends. She called it the “Do Drop Inn.” She always said she had the best husbands, good friends and neighbors and she felt blessed in her life. Calling hours, a funeral mass and graveside service will be held in the spring. Donations can be made to High Peaks Hospice, Tom Phelps Lane, Mineville; Crown Point Meals on Wheels or to the Alzheimer’s Association. To leave condolences for the family please visit harlandfuneralhome.com. ■
