UNFAIR FARES CITED Essex County could be penalized for state’s medicab ﬁasco By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Two weeks ago some of the state’s top law-enforcement officials sent out news releases triumphantly announcing fines and jail time for a band of scofflaw Essex County taxi cab owners who, the officials said, had bilked Medicaid out of millions of dollars in cab fares. Medicaid reimburses the cost of travel allowing the poor access to doctors, addiction counselors, specialists or most any other sort of health care. Up until a few years ago, these travel arrangements were made by Essex County, but the state decided to step in and do the job itself. “They told us they could be more efficient,” said County Manager Dan Palmer. Instead of calling Essex County, Medicaid patients were to dial a central dispatcher in Syracuse, who arranged a ride with private taxi companies that became known as medicabs. But instead of becoming more efficient, costs soared. See TAXI » pg. 7

Cuomo, Little share strategy for growth U.S. Sen. Betty Little with Gov. Andrew Cuomo as the two shared common ground and methods they’ve used to achieve economic growth in the North Country.

Over 13 million people visited the North Country in 2018, he said, a figure up 21.6 percent since 2011. The added visits reflect a direct spending increase of more than 23 percent to $1.26 billion, according to data from SUNY Potsdam.

SARANAC LAKE |New York’s newly launched winter tourism “push” is part of continued investment throughout the North Country; it’s a “push” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he believes is and will pay dividends long term.

Since taking office in 2011, Cuomo said New York has invested over $5 billion in the North Country, supporting infrastructure, tourism, priority projects, international commerce and economic development.

INVESTING IN THE NORTH COUNTRY

ARTS GRANTS AVAILABLE Broad array of Essex County arts are eligible From Staﬀ Reports TIMES OF TI

ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex County Arts Council announced the availability of new art funding this week, facilitated through the Cultural Assistance Program. Grant applications and eligibility requirements are now available on the website essexcountyarts.org. “For any arts group, historical society,

preservation program, library, museum or organization providing public cultural programs for Essex County residents, this is an opportunity to request financial assistance,” said June Curtis, administrator of the council. The application deadline is March 15. CAP grants will support, but are not limited to, a wide range of activities, events and programs. Artists fees, programing expenses, one-time use of materials for workshops, partial fees for program administration, advertising rental space for the event, equipment rental, lighting, sound costumes and professional fees are examples of CAP support.

He agrees that it’s a substantial contribution to the local economy. “It’s $5 billion which is a lot of money, but I say to the legislators every year and to the people of this state, it’s an investment,” the governor told a standing-room-only crowd gathered at the Hotel Saranac on Sunday. “We’re not taking $5 billion and throwing it out the window. We’re investing it in economic development and it will pay dividends and it has.” See CUOMO » pg. 2

KIDS JUMP WITH JILL Rockstar nutritionist says “eat healthy” By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

Ticonderoga elementary school students dance along with Jill Jayne, whose nutrition program generates considerable enthusiasm. Photo by Tim Rowland

TICONDEROGA | Anyone who can get a room full of elementary school students chanting enthusiastically about yogurt must have a gift. And that honor goes to Jill Jayne, whose E m my-nom i nate d “Ju mp with Jill” show came to Ticonderoga Elementary School last week, entertaining kids and giving them a sanctioned opportunity to twist and shout, all in the name of good nutrition. From the time Jill asked if they were “ready to turn this gym into a rock and roll show,” she had the students eating out of her hand — which was kind of the point.

Kids danced to cheese, they danced to fruit, they danced to milk and they danced to carrots and other “superpower vegetables.” The idea is that kids will take the message to heart and, next time they’re in the market, agitate for more nutritious choices. She also promised that “this will be the greatest rock and roll nutrition show you will ever see,” before acknowledging that it might be the only rock and roll nutrition show that they would ever see. But it’s the novelty of the act that she hopes will get kids attention. Jill, bending a bit to reality, does not tell children they should never eat junk food. But she encourages them to be thoughtful about it. She also, to a heavy musical back beat provided by her accompanying DJ, encouraged the kids to choose plain old water when they’re hot instead of sugary energy drinks, sodas and juices.

In 2019, 32 organizations received funding totaling $18,000. “CAP grants fund a cornucopia of diverse art forms,” Curtis said. “In 2019 CAP sponsored events honored the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, Scottish Heritage and the centenary of the Hurricane Mountain fire tower, along with music in all forms including orchestral, operatic, the blues and folk that was enjoyed in concert halls, theaters

as attentive as it should have been for many, many years. And that’s why I’m so proud of being able to say we’ve done more than any administration in history, because we have, because the North Country needed it. And it went on for too long.”

From CUOMO » pg. 1

Cuomo outlined several key strategies put in place to support growth in the North County, through Regional Economic Development Council programs and infrastructure updates, including $240 million currently being spent to modernize Olympic Regional Development Authority ski, skate, bobsled and ski jumping venues. Another $1.2 million is set aside to fund hiking shuttles to help end the bottleneck on travel corridors around the High Peaks. “If you want to be current,” Cuomo said, “you have to modernize.”

MAKE IT WORK

Cuomo praised U.S. Sen. Betty Little for her unfailing effort, tireless energy and excellent communication skills. Sen. Little attended the announcement Sunday and gave the opening remarks. Both lawmakers said their work together has achieved success. “The energy in this area continues to grow,” Little said. “I give the governor credit for that.” She said Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Council system has proven responsive to unique priorities set in different areas of the state. “This hotel is an example,” Little noted. “The hotel going up down the road is another example. “Because I’m not running for election, I have a lot of freedom,” Little said aside, rousing a round of laughs. “We have seen growth since day one (of Cuomo’s tenure) ... I just want to say thank you. You’ve raised tourism to an economic level it wasn’t at before. Thank you for your friendship.” Cuomo fanned the common spark that both agree benefits economic growth here. “You make it work,” he said. “We’re in this paralysis (across the country). But Senator Little is a Republican, I am a Democrat. That doesn’t mean we don’t want the same thing. And it doesn’t mean we don’t have the same values. And it doesn’t mean one of us is wrong, or one of us is bad and one of us is good. “It means we want to have a discussion and a dialogue about how to achieve the things we all want to achieve. And maybe I’m not all right all the time,” Cuomo said, drawing laughter. “Maybe there’s a possibility that Betty is not 100 percent right all of the time. And of course that’s the truth. Because

DRIVEN BY LOCAL LEADERSHIP

The impetus came from local leaders, he said, crediting U.S. Sen. Betty Little for her tireless work. The senator, from Queensbury, is retiring at the end of this year. “You have a tremendous advocate in Sen. Betty Little. You have local officials and people who just are the best we have... and you know that if you invest with them it will pay dividends, and therefore I feel good on behalf of people of the entire state saying we’re going to invest in the North Country.” Cuomo said Little helped shift the focus in Albany in the nine years they’ve worked together. “There was a feeling in the North Country that they were almost forgotten by Albany. It was all about New York City and downstate and the North Country never got its fair due. “That was true in many ways,” Cuomo said. “The North Country had greater needs and the state was not

that’s humanity. None of us are always right, none of us are always wrong. Well, why can’t you just talk? Why can’t you just figure it out? Why can’t you just put aside the partisanship and put aside the politics and figure out how to make it work?” As he thanked Sen. Little, she stepped back up to the podium. Their comments drew a standing ovation. “She rose above all the negativity and she rose above all the easy politics, which is so easy to demonize and criticize,” Cuomo said. “Betty, what you have done for the North Country, no one else could have done. On behalf of everyone in this room, we thank you, we love you and we’re going to miss you. God bless you. Thank you all very much.” Many local officials attended the special winter tourism announcement on Sunday, including mayors from Saranac Lake, Clyde Rabidoux; Plattsburgh, Colin Read; Lake Placid, Craig Randall; North Country/Plattsburgh Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Garry Douglas; Tupper Lake Supervisor Patricia Littlefield; ROOST President and CEO James B. McKenna; and several Olympians, including famed skater Paul Wylie. ■

Jill transitioned to nutrition — she now bills herself as a Rockstar Nutritionist —after a career in as a recording artist with her rock band, including appearances on The Vans Warped Tour and the American Idol spin-off “The Next Great American Band” on Fox-TV. But she is also a Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) with an MS in Nutrition Education from Teachers College Columbia University and a BS in Nutritional Sciences and Theater from Penn State University. But the students were less interested in credentials than in having a good time, trying out new dance moves and pledging, at least for an afternoon, that they would take care of their bones, muscles and skin by eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as the calcium found in dairy products. “We’ve got to take care of our bodies, because they have to last us our entire lives,” Jill said. It was a message that, based on the student response, made cheese worth cheering for. ■ The Jump with Jill performance urges kids to lay off the sugar in exchange for healthier foods.

From AMBULANCE » pg. 1

Both the volunteer Ticonderoga Emergency Squad and the paid Lamoille Ambulance Service were well represented at the hearing, but did not comment on the formalized contracts that had been agreed upon the previous week. The contract pays Ticonderoga EMS $20,000 and designates it as the primary responder, but stipulates that it must respond to 75% of the calls it receives within 10 minutes time. Lamoille was provided with $10,000 and identified as the secondary responder if Ti is unable to run. “We are very fortunate in our town to have two good emergency squads,” said Ti Supervisor Joe Giordano. “This is the beginning step as times are changing and we are trying to find the right mix between paid and volunteer.” But that mix has caused friction, as the two ambulance companies have sniped at each other, both in the community and on social media channels. Members of Lamoille have

accused Ti of dropping too many calls, and Ti has accused Lamoille of trying to poach its runs for profit. Board members said the crossfire has led to an overabundance of rumors that they hope the contracts will end. Dropped calls were admittedly a problem for Ti EMS, and were part of what has led to a countywide ambulance solution mapped out by Essex supervisors with the help of state funding. The program has paid for two medical workers who staff the nonprofit during the day when it’s hardest for volunteers to leave their day jobs. With the help of town funding, Board Member Dave Woods said Ti EMS plans to add another shift. Woods said with this model in place, he believes the company will easily meet the 75% response threshold required by the town. Other members rooted them on as well. “I’d like to thank Ti EMS for its long-standing efforts in our community,” said Board Member Tom Cunningham. “You really are appreciated, and we’re grateful to have you.”

To punctuate how Ti EMS and Lamoille can work together, resident Bob Dedrick presented the town with a letter detailing a recent medical scare in which both the Ti EMS and Lamoille did their jobs with speed professionalism. “Thanks to the Town Board who has the wisdom to finance our local squad, to our local Ticonderoga Emergency Squad, to

Lamoille Ambulance for delivering our paramedic and to Michael Watts for his expertise and his professionalism,” Dedrick wrote in the letter, which was read into the meeting record. “The care of our patients is of utmost importance,” Giordano said, “and that really resonates with Bob’s letter.” ■

UTILITY RATES QUESTIONED Signatures protest higher sewer, water bills By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

TICONDEROGA | Frank Sheldon spent a recent chilly Saturday outside a convenience store engaging in some old fashioned politics. He was urging citizens to sign a petition protesting sharp jumps in Ticonderoga sewer and water bills, the result of major infrastructure upgrade that knocked on the door of $30 million. “We want to make (the board) understand how serious this is to the property owners of this town,” Sheldon said. “They work for us, and they can’t keep robbing the people. We need to stop this before it continues to escalate.” Sheldon says he now pays $247 a quarter, and the town has acknowledged that it will continue to phase in higher rates in order to pay for the recent upgrades. Sheldon said the rates are particularly onerous on senior citizens and businesses, and “somebody had to do something. We’re not paying what’s fair here.” He’s hoping to collect 500 to 600 signatures and present them to the town in March. Sheldon said he’s also looking to organize a rally in town at about the same time. In a letter taking to the town taking Supervisor Joe Giordano to task, Sheldon wrote, “Many of our residents are living on meager incomes and struggle to make ends meet. When you add the progressive additional increase to the Ticonderoga water and sewer tax rates which are more than many surrounding communities, they struggle on how they are going to find a way to pay that bill and feed their families.” Sheldon isn’t the first to complain about the higher rates, although more people seem concerned about the hardness of the water, which is now derived from a well instead of Gooseneck Pond, an impoundment higher up in the mountains. Others want to extract themselves from the town’s water district and drill their own wells.

Employ it for something that’s going to produce fruit.” Already, Fuller said, the town has been successful in holding down costs by aggressively seeking grants and low interest loans. “I know it’s expensive, don’t get me wrong,” Fuller said. “But the taxpayers need to know that you have leveraged a lot of money, and if you hadn’t the rates would be massively more.” ■

Giordano said he understands the frustration, but that the town was given little choice. The situation has been brewing since 1974 with the passage of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act that spelled out minimum standards for municipal water systems. With that backdrop, Ticonderoga’s water system was replete with problems. Water from Gooseneck was stored in an open reservoir that was vulnerable to pollution. And while the water was chlorinated, it was not treated for pathogens. On top of that, pipes in the ground and the dam itself at Gooseneck Pond were deteriorating with age. State and federal agencies tried to get Ticonderoga to comply with federal law, but through the decades the town ignored the warnings. Finally, by 2017 the federal government’s patience was at an end. The Justice Department stepped in and ordered Ticonderoga to do the work. According to the federal complaint, “Ticonderoga was repeatedly notified of the violations at issue in this complaint, including via communications from the state in 1991, 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015, and communications from EPA in 2014 and 2015.” Under pressure of the lawsuit, the town in 2018 agreed to update its water system at a cost of $14 million. As a warning shot, Ticonderoga was fined $50,000 for previous inaction. For nearly two decades, town boards thumbed their nose at the feds, and now Ticonderoga households and businesses were about to pay the price. Had the work been done over the years as required by law, Ti residents would not be facing sticker shock today. “There is so much more that goes into these rates than meets the eye,” Giordano said. “There’s a lot of history there.” At last week’s town board meeting, town Attorney Matt Fuller said he appreciated citizen activism, but that citizens need to be realistic. It’s impractical to get out of the water district, because to do so would cost far more money to pay back the district for installed infrastructure than a resident could ever hope to save in a lifetime of water bills. Sheldon says he understands the history, but feels the town has not done enough to Where activists can make a difference, he said, is by lobbying the state for grant money to mitigate future costs. “Take

Thoughts from behind the pressline

Rough days ahead for an industry on the ropes

Miracle on ice By Rep. Elise Stefanik

PUBLISHER

GUEST COLUMNIST

Stealing a line from Gordon Lightfoot’s song “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”: “The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy.” The last several months have been really hard on the newspaper Industry, and while our local endeavor here at the Sun isn’t in the big league as are the industry titans, yet the waves they are stirring up, do have an effect even in our tiny corner of the world. Margaret Sullivan published a great piece last week in the Washington Post titled, “The future of local newspapers just got bleaker: Here’s why we can’t let them die”. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/ media/the-future-of-local-newspapers-just-gotbleaker-heres-why-we-cant-let-them-die/2020/02/14/ a7089d16-4f39-11ea-9b5c-eac5b16dafaa_story.html. If you are interested in understanding what’s taking place all around us, I encourage you to check it out in the link above. Thanks to one of our loyal supporters, Lance Clark, for sending us the link. With that article as a backdrop, I can tell you that news like this has the same effect on all newspapers large and small, in the same fashion as the coronavirus outbreak on a cruise ship. It shakes people’s confidence and results in others abandoning the ship before they understand all the facts. Yes, the coronavirus is scary stuff and there are 15 cases here in the U.S. of as last weekend. No cases here in the North Country, yet the CDC reports there will likely be 14,000 to 36,000 flu deaths in the 2019-20 flue season here in the United States. In comparison, the flu which is here holds a more imminent threat than the coronavirus. So what do the flu and coronavirus have to do with newspapers? The major problem facing many newspapers is the lack of local support over the last 20 years. It isn’t the internet, but rather the hedge funds and equity outfits that have plundered and wreaked havoc on the news industry. They are slashing workforces, degrading quality, increasing prices, selling off assets while maximizing profits to shareholders, all while nobly claiming to protect local journalism and communities. The Sun is one of many locally-owned community newspapers around the country trying to keep the remnants of a traditional newspaper alive while attempting to weather the “gales of November”, as lyricist Lightfoot said. Only when local support for what we produce each week wains, will our efforts be short-circuited. When the bean counters have worn out there welcome and moved on to some new capital venture, our local communities will still require a trusted communication asset that is still (by far) the most significant journalism producers in their local communities, to quote Margaret Sullivan and the Nieman Labs study last fall. To that end, we thank all of you who have recently contributed to help us stay the course, as we strive to “put 15 more miles behind er’.” ■

As a young child, I learned the incredible importance of Lake Placid and the spirit of the 1980 Olympics from my father. A dedicated winter sportsman, my father spent time in Lake Placid for a portion of the Olympic games. Most notably, he and his best friend were in Lake Placid the night that Team USA beat the Soviet Union in the famed Miracle on Ice hockey game. My Dad told me this story frequently as I was growing up, describing how electric and unbelievable of a night it was to be right here in Lake Placid and how proud he was to be an American. A generation later, I am proud to serve in Congress and commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the most iconic hockey game in history. As our community knows well, on February 22nd, 1980, the United States men’s hockey team upset the Soviet Union in game 1 of the medal round during the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid. Fearlessly led by their legendary coach Herb Brooks, the youngest team in U.S. history to play in the Olympics beat a veteran Soviet team with a long history of international play. That time period was tumultuous for the United States, and this game brought back hope and inspired a country that was embroiled in the Cold War. To many people, the American

Enhanced subscription model not for me!

To the Editor: I very much support the Sun and their affiliated newspapers. Dan and his entire staff have done, and continue to do, a great job balancing articles of both local and national interest. However, the enhanced subscription model is not for me. Having owned several businesses. In multiple areas, somehow donations – “enhanced subscriptions” – seem too Socialistic to me. I am a firm believer in Capitalism and expect to pay for a business’s product – which in the case of a newspaper is column space. For me, I would much rather pay for any space my comments, letters or opinions take. I have contributed my thoughts many times to the Sun and will continue to do so – but I expect to pay for the column space. Even though I now live in California, I have always considered New York’s North Country to be my first love! For the record, let me pay for column space starting IMMEDIATELY with this comment. Please bill me for the column space. Thank you for doing an underappreciated tough job! – David Safrany, California ■

Olympic and Paralympic Caucus. As Co-Chair of this bipartisan Caucus, I have been able to spread the spirit of Lake Placid as a passionate advocate for initiatives that preserve our rich Olympic history and ensure that future generations can participate in these life changing competitions. In fact, the first remarks I ever delivered in Congress on the House Floor celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice. In addition, I have worked with Olympic athletes as their voice in Congress by supporting the United States Appreciation for Olympians and Paralympians Act, which eliminated a tax penalty on medals awarded to Team USA athletes. I was also proud to help lead the effort to keep USA Luge in Lake Placid, boosting economic activity and keeping our district the luge capital. Lastly, I will continue to be an avid supporter of fully funding the Special Olympics, to help athletes with special needs follow their dreams. The office of New York’s 21st Congressional District in Washington is decorated with many special mementos and pieces highlighting to our district’s unique history. But the conversation piece for many constituents who visit D.C. is undoubtedly the USA Hockey Jersey (#21 just like our district!) signed by team captain Mike Eruzione, that hangs on the wall in my office. It is a wonderful reminder of the miraculous, historic events that took place on February 22nd, 1980, in an energized North Country community. It is a constant reminder of the spirit of Lake Placid, the Olympics, the North Country, and the United States of America. ■

upset was much more than a hockey game - it was a victory of an ideological struggle. It was a renewed sense of hope during a tense time that was welcomed by people not only in the North Country, but throughout the United States and around the world. There was no better place in the world for this historic game to occur than in the North Country. Lake Placid and the greater Adirondack region are home to some of the best hockey, skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, and ice skating in the Northeast. Each year, tourists come from around the world to experience winter in the North Country, enjoying a toboggan ride on Mirror Lake or taking a run down the bobsled track. Our Olympic history and love of winter sports are extremely important to the culture and economy of our region, and these traditions hold special places within our communities. Growing up, I was a proud “hockey sister” traveling to hockey rinks with my parents and younger brother across the North Country and the entire Northeast. The frigid sub-zero, pre-dawn hockey practices and games were an important part of the fabric of my childhood. In addition, I grew up as an avid and dedicated downhill skier and I still enjoy hitting the slopes at Whiteface with my father today! Communities in the North Country rally around these activities and embrace them as important family traditions. The unique Olympic history of New York’s 21st Congressional District is why I fought hard to earn the leadership position of Co-Chair of the Congressional

Students get ready for Cross-Cultural Connection.

Group of students prep for Cross-Cultural Connection.

Worldly students go global

The “Eyes on the World Festiva” is an internationally flavored event presented by the Lake George Jr.-Sr. High School. The event took place recently, and showcased Lake George and Schroon Lake students’ efforts to increase awareness of and empathy for a variety of worldwide cultures via foods, music, poetry and the artwork of United Nations students. The festival was the brainchild of the high school’s Diversity Committee. Also participating was the Hillview Free Library in Diamond Point, which hosted a “Cross-Cultural Connection” luncheon that featured French sandwiches, soups, cheeses and desserts. Students gave presentations—in French—on the culture of their chosen areas of France. Photos courtesy of Hillview Free Library

Palmer said that, perhaps, the state’s central dispatch is indeed more efficient in much of the state, where a ride to the doctor entails only a few miles or a few blocks. But in remote Essex County, a single cab fare to health care providers in Glens Falls, Plattsburgh or Albany could mean hundreds of dollars in profit for the taxi companies. If the distinction was lost on Albany, it was not lost on some local convenience store owners, who found the taxi business to their liking. An elaborate web of fraud developed, as about 10 taxi companies jockeyed for business among Medicaid clients, who were paid in cash or cigarettes to take rides, or say they did, to their appointments. Suspicious bills began piling up, but because a Syracuse dispatcher would have no particular knowledge of Essex County, the state didn’t notice that anything was amiss. Essex County supervisors did. Horror stories were leaking out, including tales of taxi companies that would take a Medicaid patient to the city for drug treatment one day, and then back to a doctor’s office the next for more opioids. In the three years that the ring flourished, prosecutors said the taxi companies racked up nearly $10 million in fraudulent billing. But in the enormous sea of state budgets, a million dollars here or a million dollars there do not necessarily make many waves. Taxi companies saw a lane, and they took full advantage, even as they themselves worried they might be pushing the envelope too far. At one point, in confiscated text messages, a taxi company owner admonished an employee for lining up too many rides in one day out of fear of raising government eyebrows — a scolding that appeared to hurt the feelings of the employee, who assumed she was doing a good job. Even factoring fraud out of the equation, the state’s Medicaid transportation takeover in Essex County has led to far higher costs, and these costs have the potential to trickle down to Essex County taxpayers. When Essex County ran the transportation network for Medicaid, it

cost an annual $400,000, Palmer said. Today it’s in the neighborhood of $2 million. “I don’t know how you give that many rides,” Palmer said. To begin with, the type of fraud perpetrated by the taxi companies would have been all but impossible under the county’s watch, where the budget is small and expenses are closely scrutinized. “I very seriously doubt that it could have happened that way,” Palmer said. For one thing, any exponential rise in cab fare would have raised all sorts of red flags among budget-conscious supervisors who become unsettled at line items that are even a few thousand dollars out of line. And second, Essex County has relatively few Medicaid patients, and case workers know them by name, they know their families and they know their personal needs and situations. That allowed the county to personalize transportation and make it more cost effective. In fact, taxis were only called as a last resort, said Mike Mascarenas, Essex County director of Social Services. “We knew all the (Medicaid) families and we tried to find family members and friends who could give them a ride, and sometimes we would allocate staff,” Mascarenas said. “The last thing we did was call a taxi.” Due to the county’s personal knowledge of the patients, it could keep costs down in other ways, too. If two clients had an appointment in the same Glens Falls doctor’s office, for example. the county would arrange it so they would go together. Under the new arrangement, Palmer said, two different taxis will make the same trip on the same day. “They’ll pass each other on the Interstate,” he said. New York health officials acknowledge that the state may have to go back to the drawing board on Medicaid transport. State Health Department spokesperson Jeffrey Hammond said that following the 2015 Medicaid redesign efforts, changes were made to centralize Medicaid transportation in the hopes of achieving efficiencies and reducing the use of costly ambulance services. Hammond said Contact Shannon Christian at 518-873-6368 ext. 201 or email shannonc@ suncommunitynews.com to place a listing.

for a while the change seemed to be working, but over the last few years spending in the area has grown, primarily driven by increases in taxi spending. But Hammond said it’s all part of a process to try to identify areas where money can be saved. If a program works it will be maintained, if not it will be scrapped. “Essex County has identified a potential savings and this is exactly why the executive budget advances proposals to return local government to the search for savings in the Medicaid program that they left when the state took over all local Medicaid spending growth in 2015,” Hammond said. “Our goal is not to raise costs for counties at all, but to work with them on issues just like those identified by Essex County to reduce costs.” Hammond said Medicaid transportation is among the issues the current Medicaid Redesign Team will be analyzing as it develops a plan to reduce Medicaid spending by $2.5 billion “to ensure its financial stability for the future while continuing to provide high-quality care for more than 6 million New Yorkers.” Nationwide, Medicaid covers 74 million people, or about a quarter of the population. New York has among the nation’s most generous Medicaid programs in the support of disadvantaged people, but it does not come cheaply. New York’s Medicaid’s budget is $75 billion, of which the state pays $30 billion. About 20 states mandate a county Medicaid contribution as well, and of these, New York’s counties pay the most, a cost that adds up to about $7 billion annually, according to a 2016 report by the National Association of Counties. It is this state effort to cut Medicaid by $2.5 billion — to help close a $6 billion budget gap — that has the county more worried that it would be otherwise, because it calls for penalizing counties where Medicaid spending has exceeded 3%. The county doesn’t yet know how the numbers will play out, but the Medicab situation could come back to bite a second time if increased transportation costs contribute to

an increase in Medicaid costs that the state finds to be excessive. For the county, that would present an expensive irony: The county was doing a good job of providing Medicaid transportation while holding down costs, but when the state stepped in the program became rife with waste and abuse. Now, the state could conceivably come back and punish Essex County for the state’s own mismanagement. And further, county officials say, they have minimal little control over other Medicaid spending as well, because they must act in accordance with state and federal guidelines. “It isn’t like we have authority to say someone is not eligible,” Palmer told supervisors during a recent meeting “They think that somehow it’s in our control, but it’s not.” How Essex County is financially impacted won’t be known until the Medicaid Redesign Team releases its plan in the next month or so. And the recommendations would need legislative approval before they could be implemented. The devil is in the details, and what numbers the state uses and how it plans to calculate what constitutes a 3% increase are questions in which the county has considerable interest. At this point, “We’re not really certain about what the governor’s proposal even means,” said Mascarenas. “But potentially it could be a really large increase locally.” The increased Medicaid costs could even push the county through the 2% tax cap, a circumstance that unleashes even more financial penalties designed to discourage localities from overspending. “And this doesn’t happen in a silo,” Palmer said. The state’s budget has already reneged on an annual $300,000 compensatory payment that’s been in effect since the 1990s when the state ordered Essex County to close its landfill. That puts pressure on the cap too, making any Medicaid increase even more difficult to absorb. “Removing that $300,000 eats up 1.2% of the 2% tax cap,” Palmer said. “It’s kind of a vicious cycle, to be honest.” ■

Love Governor, Cuomo daughters enjoy snowmobile adventure Trail funds, free visitor weekend highlight remarks By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

SARANAC LAKE | Gov. Andrew Cuomo came to the Adirondacks Sunday to spend a day riding snowmobiles with his three daughters and a group of their friends. He took about an hour early in the day to announce funding for snowmobile tourism

and extend an invitation that will open New York’s 10,000 miles of snowmobile trails for out-of-state sleds. There will be no fee for sleds registered in other states that travel New York’s trail system on March 14 and March 15. The weekend welcome is getting support through a $4 million I Love NY winter tourism campaign, Cuomo said Sunday. The winter invitation will reach across America and Canada, complete with a “I Snowmobile NY” logo with the famous heart replaced by a snow machine. Cuomo announced $4.2 million in grant funds will be dispersed through municipal coffers to the some 230 local snowmobile clubs that groom and maintain trails. This funding comes from snowmobile registration fees.

Ticonderoga Alumni Association

DINNER

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced March 14-15 will be free snowmobiling weekend for all out-of-state and Canadian snowmobilers, a move that will further strengthen the winter tourism industry in the North Country. Cumo made the announcement before heading out for a snowmobile adventure with his three daughters, Cara, Mariah and Michaela.

Wednesday, February 26th

THE HOT BISCUIT DINER 5:00PM – 7:00PM Classes from 1960’s and 1970’s are invited as well as other Alumni The Hot Biscuit Diner will have their full menu available to order as well as your choice of two special dinners: Ham Dinner or Beer Battered Haddock Dinner.

In comments made during Gov. Cuomo’s visit on Sunday, New York State Snowmobile Association Executive Director Dominic Jacangelo said tourism driven by snowmobile rider visits generates some $868 million in revenue during New York winters.

Another $4 million has been allocated to build and improve snowmobile trail infrastructure in the North Country. Snowmobiling is another great way to experience winter in the North Country, the governor said. “We are very aware of the balance and making sure that the tourism that comes in is well managed,” Cuomo said. “If you come hiking, if you come fishing, if you come bird watching, just come and be here. And in the winter, snowmobiling is just a great way to be here...and it’s a great, great family experience.”

The increase in tourism overall has been dramatic since 2011, he said. “It’s up close to 25 percent...tourism now brings in $1.2 billion to the North Country, believe it or not.” Trail conditions will vary depending on snowfall, which had a slow start this winter. Adirondacks, USA and tech developers at the New York State Snowmobile Association launched a new app, NYSSA/SLEDNY for snowmobilers: an interactive trail map for smart phones designed to help plan sled adventures.

Margaret Joan Howe 1936 - 2020 T I CO N D E R O G A | Margaret Joan (Webber) Howe, 77, died February 2 , 2 0 2 0 , s u rrounded by family in Guilford, Connecticut. She was born August 28, 1942, in Rockville Center, New York, to Harry and Anne Webber. Her father was an internationally renowned marine surveyor and later a maritime arbitrator. Her mother was a teacher in England before arriving in the United States in 1936. Margaret spent her childhood in Garden City. She graduated from Garden City High School in 1959 and from Lake Erie College for Women in 1963, where she studied Spanish and mathematics. Just prior to entering college, Margaret met the love of her life, Edwin “Brick” Howe. Soon after Margaret’s graduation from college, she and Brick married at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City. The newlyweds moved to Garden City and spent the next 30 years there raising their three children. In 1984, Margaret and her husband purchased a summer home on Lake George in Ticonderoga, New York, where they subsequently retired in 2000. Margaret loved Ticonderoga and endeavored to do good works for the benefit of the community. She was highly involved in the Rogers Rock Club, serving as its president for more than a decade. In addition, she played an integral role in the Junior Program of the Northern Lake George Yacht Club. She was a member of the Cathedral of the Incarnation, belonged to the Garden City Garden Club and worked with various community organizations and charities. She was an avid duplicate bridge player, and as a longtime member of the American Contract Bridge League, she earned the rank of Regional Master. Other interests included gardening, reading, needlepoint and the care of her beloved dogs. She was devoted to her family and was happiest when they were with her in Ticonderoga. Margaret is sur v ived by her son Christopher, daughters Melissa and Katie and her four grandchildren: Julia, Beck, Samson,

and Sadie; her sister, Susan Christensen, and husband, Henry; her sister-in-law, Mary Webber, as well as nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her dear husband, Brick, and her brother Richard. There will be a celebration of Margaret’s life this summer in Ticonderoga. Donations in her memory may be sent to the Ticonderoga Main Street Partnership, PO Box 379, Ticonderoga, NY 12883-0379. ■

Fire destroys homes in Ticonderoga, Hague By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

TICONDEROGA | Two houses, one in Ticonderoga the other in Hague, were destroyed by fire on Monday and early Tuesday morning, respectively. Ticonderoga Fire Chief Jason Parent said a fire at a home at 85 Cossey Ln. was called in around noon on Monday, and was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived. “When I pulled in on the scene it was fully involved, and at that point it’s a matter of trying to protect neighboring property,” he said. The name of the homeowner was not immediately known, but Parent said they were not home at the time and there were no injuries. The house was a total loss. Ticonderoga firefighters were assisted by departments in Chilson, Crown Point and Putnam. In Hague, fire was reported after midnight Tuesday morning on Graphite Mountain Road, said Linda Mury, spokeswoman for the Hague fire and EMS companies, both of which responded, along with Ticonderoga. Mury said the house had recently been sold and was undergoing renovations. It too was a total loss, and local officials were trying to locate the owners. The cause of both fires is under investigation. ■

Wildcats sweep MVAC hoops titles By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

SCHROON | The Schroon Lake varsity boys and girls basketball teams have claimed the MVAC overall league championships in both sports. “As the athletic director. It is exciting for both our varsity teams to have the success that we have had,” said Schroon Lake AD and boys varsity coach Lee Silvernail. “The girls have been playing some great basketball and they have motivated us to keep pace with them. I look forward to watching the girls navigate through sectionals as the number 1 seed.” “I’m really excited,” said girls coach Katie Jenks, who was on the last MVAC championship

girls team. “They worked so hard.” Silvernail also talked about the hard work his team had put in to win the title, as both will be the top seed in the Section VII/Class D playoffs next week. “These guys have worked hard and happy for the team to have clinched the division title but it is only a small step in the right direction,” he said. “The number one seed is nice and puts a target on our back. In the end it is only a number and every team that is entering sectionals is going to be a challenge. We will have to find some ways to stay sharp with the longer then usual layoff before our first sectional game.”

BOYS CLINCH IN LEAGUE FINALE

regular season with an undefeated record and an overall record of 16-3 with a non-league contest against Beekmantown remaining. Andrew Pelkey scored 28 in the game, putting his career point total at 1,674, 22 points behind Beekmantown’s Dan Munson for the Section VII all-time scoring record with one regular season game remaining against the team Munson played for — the Eagles — Feb. 21. Cian Bresnahan added 20 points in the win, while Collin Bresnahan added eight, Oliver Higgens four and Bryant Mieras two. Jared Ball led the Warriors with 15 points, while Stephen Leibeck added seven, Hunter King five, Nick Reithel three, Regan Arnold two and Everett Cassavaugh two.

GIRLS CLINCH, TWO GAMES REMAINING Also Saturday, the Wildcat girls scored a 60-18 win over the Warriors, as Dakotah Cutting led the Wildcats with 13 points, followed by Kayli Hayden with 11, Saige Shaughnessy eight, Anna Maisonville eight, Malena Gereau seven, Brittany Mieras six, Allison Baker four and Ava Storman three. Isabella Harrison scored 12 to lead Willsboro, as Samantha Harrison scored three, Kyla Crowningshield two and Sierra Bronson one. The Wildcats (16-2) finish their season with a game at Johnsburg-Minerva before hosting Saranac Lake Feb. 21. ■

Section VII determines indoor track and field state team By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The top indoor track and field athletes from the 2019-20 season returned to the Plattsburgh State Field House a week after the Section VII championships to set the Section VII team that will compete at the NYSPHSAA state championship meet March 7 in Staten Island. The Moriah/Boquet Valley team of Denali Garnica, Gage Perry, Landon Peters and Emery Tausinger earned the state bid in the 3,200 relay. “I think we did very well overall today and we will be working hard to run our best at states,” said Garnica. “We know the track is really nice down there so we are looking forward to having a great run.” In the 640 relay, the Saranac team of Zashon Abrams, Garrett Adolfo, Anthony Bernardi and Alex Stack earned the state bid, making up for last week when a botched exchange led to a second place finish. “It was king of a revenge thing where we wanted to get that spot on the state team,” said Abrams, who also completed a season sweep of the 55 dash by earning the top bid, with second individual bid going to Tanner Estes of Plattsburgh High. Beekmantown’s Angelina Lyons won the girls 55 dash, with Abi Batu-Tiako (wins in 55 hurdles, triple jump) of Plattsburgh High placing second. Lyons completed the postseason sweep of the event. “Abi is a really good competitor and it feels good to have won this event in the last two weeks,” said Lyons. M/BV’s Sophia McKiernan scored two state bids, winning the 1,500 with Nora Graves of PHS placing second before placing second in the 1,000 behind Saranac’s Rachael Woodruff. “I don’t think I ran this week as fast as I did last week because there was not as much competition, but I am very happy to get a first place finish and go to states,” said McKiernan. Lizzie Rich of Ticonderoga and Caylen Skiff of Saranac Lake had the top two places in the shot put.

The new app has a one-time cost of $4.99 and provides real-time information about the trails in the North Country with highlights for gas stations, stores, restaurants and lodging properties that welcome sledders. Dominic Jacangelo, NYSSA executive director, was at the presentation with Cuomo on Sunday. “He’s been in public service, he’s been in State service, he’s worked with the Senate, he’s done a beautiful job. Dominic, thank you very much for everything you’ve done,” Cuomo said. The Sun asked Jacangelo about the new app as he shared its features with a Canadian

sled club president. “Snowmobilers love the North Country. Snowmobiling is a tremendous draw for winter tourism,” Jacangelo said. “Thank goodness for the snowstorm last Friday.” Jacangelo said the new “I Snowmobile NY” tourism promotion and trail funding supports more than just sled clubs and avid riders. Area motels, hotels, restaurants, markets and shops also benefit from snowmobile visitors. “It’s an $868 million industry,” he said. He said the roll-out of new app supports NYSSA, and it does provide details about how trails connect and snow depth. “It does give you information about

“I was really nervous o my first throw, but the second throw was the best I have ever done,” said Skiff. “It has been a really good season as I only do indoor.” Other state qualifiers include: Girls 3,200: Peru (Abby Bruce, Sara Crippen, Harley Gainer, Jennifer Owen) Boys 55 hurdles: Mathieu Durkin (PHS), Aidan Hoogkamp (BCS) Girls 55 hurdles: Abi Batu-Tiako (PHS), Kennedy Baker (PHS) Boys 1,600: Jake Glicksman (Seton), Peter Fogarty (SLCS) Girls 64- relay: Saranac (Katelyn Blair, Marissa LeDuc, Mackenzie Converse, Olivia Davis) Boys 600: Rowan Jackson (PHS), Zach Rainville (SCS) Girls 600: Sara Crippen (PCS), Lexie Neale (PHS) Boys 300: Dade Cox (BCS), Michael McBride (PCS) Girls 300: Mackenzie Converse (SCS), Leah Madden (SCS) Boys 1,000: Micah McCulley (SLCS), Logan VanBuren (M/BV) Boys 3,200: Peter Fogarty (SLCS), Emery Tausinger (M/BV) Girls 3,000: Lily Potthast (AVCS), Faline Yang (Seton) Boys 1,600 relay: Beekmantown (Aidan Hoogkamp, Alexander Jock, Iziah Jock, Dade Cox) Girls 1,600 relay: Beekmantown (Mikayla Hamel), Kennedy Ritter, Samantha DeMeter, Danielle Dyke) Boys shot put: Patrick Alberga (SLCS), Connor Kiroy (SCS) Boys weight throw: Connor Kiroy (SCS), Casey Breyette (SCS) Girls weight throw: Mia Sanford (SLCS), Madison DuBray (SCS) Boys high jump: Benjamin Bourdeau (PHS), Hadden Barcomb (PCS) Girls high jump: Marissa LeDuc (SCS), Angelena Fay (SCS) Boys long jump: Garrett Adolfo (SCS), Jaylen Gonzalez (PHS) Girls long jump: Gabriella Laundry (PHS), Kennedy Baker (PHS) Boys triple jump: Kyle LaValley (PHS), Adam Elshafay (PHS) Girls triple jump: Abi Batu-Tiako (PHS), Angelina Lyons (BCS) ■ — For more indoor track coverage, including interviews and events from throughout the season, visit the Sun Community News Facebook Page.

washouts or where trails are closed for maintenance, removing branches and things like that,” Jacangelo said, pointing to some of the trails marked in red on the app on his phone. The interactive map gives the sledder’s location with real-time GPS. If riders plug in a destination, a route will appear. A search feature also allows snowmobilers to find the trail they’re loooking for; the app was designed to function offline with a new mapping engine created to work in areas with little to no cell service once the map has been downloaded. Trail conditions will vary, depending on weather conditions and snowmobilers are

advised to check with area snowmobile clubs for detailed information, including the status of grooming.
