Proposed expansion of Schroon Lake Stewart’s rocks neighborhood Upset residents sound off at tumultuous meeting as town board weighs zoning revisions By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
SCHROON LAKE — Wallace and Shelley Thomas thought they found paradise when they purchased a home a stone’s throw from the Schroon Lake Boat Launch. Shelley enjoyed relaxing in her Adirondack chair, where the breeze from the water would roll up Taylor Street. Sometimes they’d chat with their neighbor, Paul Ceresnak, who lives across the street.
But then came the sudden proposal to raze and rebuild the Stewart’s on Route 9. With the purchase of a single family home behind the current store location, the Saratoga-based chain is hoping to expand the location from 2,500 to 3,675-square-feet. Doing so will push the new building right into the center of their neighborhood. Now instead of bonding over the raspberry bushes that line the tidy street, residents fear the diesel fumes from the pump station, the scent of pizza grease, bright lights and the tumultuous clang of dumpsters being unloaded will haunt their bucolic existence. “You’re going to take my little slice of heaven and put a dumpster 20 feet from my front door,” said Wallace at a town board meeting
on Monday. The standing room-only meeting, a loud and unruly affair that constantly teetered at the edge of derailment for more than 45 minutes, opened up faultlines between the residents who stand to be affected by the development and the town officials in favor of revamping a local mainstay they have argued has long been in need of a facelift. On the docket was a resolution to change the zoning ordinance in the neighborhood to allow retail usage, which is currently prohibited and would have required a simple majority vote by the town board to greenlight. The board ultimately voted to table the decision until receiving advice from their counsel.
At times, residents accused town board members of actively lobbying for the project. “I have rights,” Ceresnak said. “This board is ignoring those rights.” Several town board members defended their advocacy, arguing residents are generally in favor of the expansion based on the general consensus around town. “It appears the majority of the town, from what I gather, are in favor of this change,” said Supervisor Mike Marnell. At the crux of it all was the zoning revision process, which both sides admitted was confusing. Several attendees repeatedly called for a >> See STEWART’S | pg. 13
Benefit will aid young woman Hope Lacey is undergoing chemotherapy and surgery By Lohr McKinstry

CROWN POINT – A fundraiser at Crown Point Central School will aid a young woman with osteosarcoma. Twenty-seven-year-old Hope Ann Lacey of Crown Point was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of cancer that starts in the bones. The fundraiser is scheduled to be held on Friday, May 5 at 4 p.m. at Crown Point Central School. It includes a spaghetti dinner with salad and rolls, cake auction, bake sale and basket raffle with a drawing at 7:30 p.m. Cost is $10 a person; free for under 12. Her friend, Bobbi Shaffer, is helping organize the event. She said Lacey is undergoing regular chemotherapy at University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington. “She’ll have surgery in a couple weeks,” Shaffer said. “Then she goes back for more chemo. I am super proud of her. A lot of people, myself included, would have been discouraged. She has a good attitude.” The surgery will replace Lacey’s femur bone. Lacey has always been an upbeat person, ready to help others, Shaffer said. >> See BENEFIT | pg. 10

Fort Ticonderoga gets ready for new season Fort Ticonderoga will open on May 5 this year with new experiences By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA – Fort Ticonderoga will swing its gates open to the public on Saturday, May 5 this year. The fort tells a new story each season for a specific year, through dynamic historical interpretation. “Every day is an event at Fort Ticonderoga and every year is a new experience,” President Beth Hill said. “It is the only site in the world that tells a new
story each year.” This year it’s 1757, the year made famous by the novel “Last of the Mohicans.” Visitors will discover the real story of 1757 as they step into Fort Carillon, later named Ticonderoga, bustling with activity with French soldiers, native warriors, and cannon preparing to take the fight for New France all the way up Lake George to British-held territory, Hill said. Fort Ticonderoga is a must-see destination, a center of learning, and an interactive, multi-faceted experience,” said Hill. “It’s exploring the beautiful gardens, finding adventure in our events, marching with the Fife and Drum Corps, and learning about a historic trade. It’s a visit
through the reconstructed fort, a stroll overlooking Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont, and an afternoon in our exhibit galleries exploring our premier collections.” She said there are new programs and museum exhibits, living history weekends, special events, gardens, daily boat tours aboard M/V Carillon, climbing Mount Defiance, hands-on family activities, and hiking trails. Fort Ticonderoga is open daily from May 5 through Oct. 29 from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Admission is charged. Fort Ticonderoga will open for the season on May 5.

Mother’s Day farm market planned The Ticonderoga Farmers Market will be open for a special preview By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA – A special Mothers’ Day Farmers Market will kick off the season for the Ticonderoga Farmers Market. The event is Saturday, May 13, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Wicker Wood, 1114 Wicker St., near the Walmart SuperCenter. This market precedes the season and provides a preview of what’s to come in July when the market officially begins, Market Adviser June Curtis said. “While it is too early for much produce to be offered, it is an opportunity to showcase the market site and invite the community to stop by for the many outstanding products that are available,” Curtis said. She said those include Willow Wood Farm’s fresh local meats and eggs, and Flack’s Country Treasures’ local maple syrup and honey. “Harrington’s Gardens also hopes to have a few early vegetables from their greenhouse, and the Daughters 5 Farmstand is working hard to offer plants and hanging baskets and promises homemade pies,” said Curtis. “On the eve of Mothers’ Day, this early Farmers Market is perfectly timed to provide a myriad of options for a wonderful celebration.” Joining the regular vendors for the May market are a few new ones with artwork and crafts, she said. At the Scentsy tent, there will be wickless candles in a variety of fragrances, essential oils and more. Bert’s Jams and Jellies have bundles of fla-
vors of choice local jams and jellies. Among many nature items, Adirondack Backyard Birds will offer stainless steel travel mugs, ceramic mugs, throw pillows, small metal prints and hand towels. “In Ticonderoga, we now have not only a thriving Farmers’ Market but also an outstanding Food Co-Op, both believing in the importance of healthy living,” said Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matthew Courtright. “I was pleased to hear that the Ticonderoga Natural Foods Co-Op plans to join us for this Mothers’ Day Farmers’ Market. They will bring awareness of their mission and discuss their role in bringing local sustainable food to our community.” He said Co-Op Manager Bree Backus is preparing a fun project for the kids, and people can take their kids to the farmers’ market for “Let’s Make Tissue Paper Flowers.” “It is heartening to see our businesses and organizations work together in the interests of bettering our community,” Courtright said. The “Let’s Make Tissue Paper Flowers” kids project sponsored by the Ticonderoga Natural Foods Co-Op will be available from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the market. All kids are welcome to participate. “Working on renovating my old homestead has been a thrill, and hosting the Farmers Market on our property has been equally awesome,” said Market Manager Carol Wood Ramundo. “I’m so ready for warmer weather and the Mothers’ Day Market.” Farmers, vendors, businesses, local artists and organizations interested in participating in the market should contact the chamber at 518 585-6619 or via email: chamberinfo@ticonderogany.com.

Ticonderoga teenagers take learning trip out West By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA – Some Ticonderoga area teenagers went on a recent learning tour of the West that included Grand Canyon National Park. Maria Bagneschi was the group leader for the trip. “I recently lead a small group of travelers from Ticonderoga, Hague and Putnam on an educational tour of California and the Grand Canyon with EF (Education First) Explore America,” she said. “This trip would not have been possible without the generous support of these communities.”
The kids did fundraising to pay for the tour. “Thank you to the many people who donated (returnable) bottles, bought Yankee Candles and Christmas wreaths, participated in our Pre-Holiday Craft Fair as vendors and shoppers, or spaghetti dinner tickets,” Bagneschi said. She said they also got help from Ticonderoga Elks Lodge, McDonald’s of Ticonderoga and the Hague Fish and Game Club. “Our educational tour included visits to Hollywood, Santa Monica Pier and the Pacific Ocean, Universal Studios, the fountains in front of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, a river float trip down the Colorado River, the Hoover Dam, the Lowell Observatory, the Grand Canyon and Montezuma’s Castle,” Bagneschi said.
The Explore America educational philosophy is that the best way to help young people gain new perspectives and build skills for the future is through experiential learning. The group is based in Cambridge, Mass. Travelers on an educational tour of the West from left are: James Burke, Kaylee Coon, Haileigh Rivard, Eryka Hayes, Dalton Charboneau, Allexus Billetts and Nate McLaughlin.

Ti seeks to combat derelict properties TICONDEROGA — Housing Assistance Program of Essex County (HAPEC) counseling services are being promoted by the town as part of a derelict and abandoned property project. The state-funded effort will explore ways to address the town’s zombie property issue. A new state law now requires mortgage companies to secure and maintain their properties which are abandoned and are in significant mortgage payment arrears. The project will seek to determine the effectiveness of this legislation. Two special services are available for free through the HAPEC.
The first is HAPEC Financial Coaching and Counseling services, a program that aims to help individuals and families take control of their finances. The second type of HAPEC counseling services focuses on helping people who may be having trouble making their mortgage payments, who are falling behind on their property taxes, or who may be facing possible foreclosure on their property. Residents interested in learning more about these services can contact HAPEC in Elizabethtown at 873-6888 or info@ hapec.org. These counseling services are confidential and can be done at the HAPEC office in Elizabethtown or another agreed location.

Unified Basketball program a novel idea
R
ecently, our sports editor went to a five team basketball scrimmage at Plattsburgh High School. Here are some of the things he did not see. Coaches and parents yelling at officials. Players complaining, throwing their arms up when they got called for a foul or turnover, or drawing attention to themselves. Coaches and players, “getting into it.” Poor sportsmanship. Parents questioning the coach on plays or why the team was losing. So, what happened? Had he stepped through a portal to an alternate universe as he walked through the PHS doors? No. This was the first Section VII Unified Basketball scrimmage between five schools from Section VII. Unified Basketball, according to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, is part of Project Unity, a joint effort between NYSPHSAA and Special Olympics New York to: • Combine athletes (players with intellectual disabilities) and athletes (players without intellectual disabilities) to create athletic teams for training and competition. Participation is rooted in the principle of meaningful involvement which ensures that every player is given an opportunity to contribute to the success of his or her team through their unique skills. Inclusive activity is among the most conducive ways to break down stereotypes and foster relationships. • Provide students with and without intellectual disabilities opportunities to take on leadership roles in promoting Project Unify activities in their schools and in their communities. • Provide opportunities for all
students to participate in schoolwide campaigns and activities such as Fans in the Stands, Pledge and Plunge, and the R-word Campaign. In Section VII, unified basketball started last season, when Ticonderoga entered the program and played schools from Section II. Accolades go to athletic director Robert Sutphen, superintendent Dr. John McDonald and the TCS school board for realizing the importance of such a program. Sutphen was a key player in reaching out to other schools and bringing four more schools from Section VII into the mix: AuSable Valley, Plattsburgh High, Saranac and Beekmantown. Kudos as well to these schools athletic directors, superintendents and school boards. A lot of credit also needs to go to the coaches who are giving of their time to teach the game of basketball with patience and skill to these students, as well as the student-athletes who give their time to help out teaching the new players the game.
They saw that the Unified Basketball program offers inclusion for all students. It gives students with intellectual disabilities the chance to be student-athletes, to put on the uniform of their school and represent them in competition as part of a varsity team. This, however, is not your usual competition. The teams are there to learn and have fun. The young men and women who play on these teams have smiles on their faces as they bring the ball up the court, defend their player — basically at all times. It’s infectious, sitting there watching these kids, some of whom dreamed about an opportunity to play for their school, finally get that chance. You cannot feel anything but happy watching a young woman jump up and down three times after scoring her first basket in a game. Todd Nelson, the NYSPHSAA director over Unified Sports, said the sport gives students with intellectual disabilities a chance to associate with students they may never have talked
to otherwise, bringing a stronger unity to a school district. That point was driven home when talking to Ticonderoga assistant Kendra McCoy, who said she saw students going up to members of the Unified team after a game and congratulating them on a win or scoring a basket. McCoy said students were even coming up to them, excited that a certain player had led the team in scoring. She also said that after the final event of the season last year, each player had received a medal, which they would look at and smile all the way home, with most wearing their medals into school the next day. Nelson added to that point: “You think back to the state championships, and the team in second place would be down, crying... If you gave these kids a silver medal, they would run to the stand and have huge smiles on their faces.” We encourage everyone living within these five districts to reach out to their school’s athletic websites, find out when the next home game is for their Unified Basketball team, and go. It’s a wonderful experience and a chance to cheer on some outstanding athletes. We also encourage those not living in these district to check out a game, then get in contact with your school’s athletic department about the chances of starting their own Unified Basketball program. Good luck to all of the students and coaches on a successful Unified Basketball season! The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau and Pete DeMola.

America is energy independent -- Now, let’s make it secure Point of View
Andrew Langer
Andrew.Langer@instituteforliberty.org
T
he United States is about to reach a major energy milestone. A new report predicts that the nation is on track to become a net energy exporter within the decade. This is huge. The United States has relied on foreign imports of oil and natural gas since the 1950s. Energy independence will make the nation safer. Plus, as a net exporter, American manufacturers be able to sell oil and gas in international markets, boosting our economy and weakening volatile nations. For this to happen, though, lawmakers must implement policies that support energy production and transport. A stable future depends on it. U.S. energy production is booming. Natural gas exports more than tripled from 2002 to 2011. Meanwhile, oil imports decreased by over 50 percent from 2004 to 2014. While the United States weans itself off foreign sources of energy, international demand is climbing. By 2040, worldwide energy consumption will surge 56 percent. Competing world powers are upping their en-
ergy production to capitalize on this demand. Iran plans to increase its oil supplies by 8 billion barrels in the next 30 years. Russia just opened new natural gas and oil pipelines, while also striking up lucrative international energy deals with Japan and Qatar, one of which totaled over $10 billion. The uptick in American energy exportation means we can now compete in this market. An important first step is expediting the approval of Liquefied Natural Gas export terminals, which facilitate the transportation of natural gas to other countries. These facilities are subject to strict, lengthy reviews. Over two dozen applications currently await approval -- and many have been in the queue for years. If the application and approval process were updated, U.S. LNG exports could make an immediate impact on global trade. Other countries are crying out for U.S. exports. In a recent letter to Congress, U.S. ambassadors of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Slovakia urged the United States to make the LNG terminal approval process quicker. They hope that U.S. exports can lessen their countries’ dependence on nations that, as they noted, use energy as a “political weapon.” But efforts to expedite exports have simmered out in Congress. To aid our allies and boost our economy, they must be reignited and pushed through.
In order to expand American exportation, lawmakers must also allow more energy production on federal lands. From 2011 to 2015, drilling on federal territory increased by only 0.8 percent. For comparison, drilling on private lands increased by 113 percent in that time. That’s largely because regulations make production on federal lands impossible. Acquiring a drilling permit on federal territory took an average of 220 days in 2015 -- more than five times the average approval time in 2005. Meanwhile, permits for drilling on private lands take 10 business days in some states. Only 852 federal land leases for drilling were granted in fiscal year 2015 -- nearly 3000 fewer than a decade ago. Removing some of these obstacles would allow producers to generate more energy -- and bring in some cash for the government. Making federal lands available for production could add $127 billion to the economy annually over the next seven years. Becoming energy-independent is a huge step for America’s energy security. With lawmakers’ help, we can sustain that progress -- and help our allies keep their lights on, too. Andrew Langer is President of the Institute for Liberty.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rep.Ê StefanikÊ needsÊ toÊ focusÊ onÊ workingÊ forÊ herÊ district To the Editor: Boy, am I a great fisherman. I use razor sharp hooks, biodegradable fishing line, “approved” lead sinkers, organically grown worms, and the latest underwater sonar-radar-acoustic-dynamic GPS guided fishfinder. Everything, except, well, you know, the big one (and the little ones) got away. Do you still think I am still a great fisherman? Of course not. Boy, is Rep. Elise Stefanik a great representative. She is a member of umpteen committees, proposed lots of legislation, held a bunch of meetings, and answered a gazillion letters and phone calls. Everything, except, well, create new jobs, get legislation passed that significantly improves her district, attract new business to her district, or in general made the district markedly better. And the Point of View on April 22, “My First 100 Days,” says it all — or should I say, says very little in the way of actual, meaningful accomplishment; a very poor catch indeed. I might be called a lousy fisherman — but then, I was not elected to catch dinner for the North Country. Stefanik was elected to represent the North Country. Time to weigh in some accomplishments which will directly affect the people who sent her to Congress, and not fill her creel with a lot of vague and empty promises, smoke and mirrors, meetings, blah blah blah. Let’s see if Point of View, “My Second Hundred Days,” has a list of real accomplishments. Let’s see a list of new jobs, businesses, program, all helping us. Michael Berman Schroon Lake
PoliticalÊ blindnessÊ isÊ nothingÊ new To the Editor: About 400 years ago, in 1609, Henry Hudson explored the Hudson River. Though long ago, his trip is still of great local interest: The source of the Hudson is smack in the middle of the 21st Congressional District. A year later, he set about to find the Northwest Passage. His search was sponsored by financial interests that could have benefited immensely from its discovery (think Suez Canal, Panama Canal) because it shortened the commercial trade routes between Europe and China. He didn’t find it, because it didn’t exist — at the time. Observations show that ice coverage of the arctic has systematically decreased during the last half century. Political blindness in the U.S. refuses to acknowledge this trend. At the same time, political pragmatism has prepared Russia to take advantage of this trend. Russia has a far larger fleet of icebreakers than the U.S. and has just launched the largest nuclear-powered icebreaker of all, the Arctika, on June 16, 2016. While American politicians are debating the reality of global warming, the Russians are set to profit from it. They have opened up the longsought Northwest Passage and are preparing to benefit from it twice over: from the trade it will enable and from the mineral resources that are now accessible under the Arctic Sea. Our political blindness is redirecting a large source of income from the U.S. Treasury to the treasuries of other countries. Robert Gilmore Tupper Lake
AcceptingÊ thatÊ weÊ cannotÊ goÊ backÊ withÊ climateÊ change To the Editor: The blue birds never really left this winter. I will miss the thrilling moment that used to happen each spring when they came back. “Look! There’s the first bluebird, checking out the birdhouse near the garden!” Having them around all winter indicates a quiet reality: the winters are just not as tough as they used to be. This makes me sad. We can’t go back. Scientists tell us there is already too much carbon dioxide in the air, trapping the heat of the sun like a blanket around the earth, changing seasonable temperatures so that certain species, like blue birds, will have changed their habits. If I mention this — climate change — to some neighbors of mine, they will dismiss it as “just politics.” Climate change is not politics, it’s physics. Physics is science. Unfortunately, there are many misunderstandings about science whirling around. Science and the math supporting it are rooted in questions and theories and correlations and predictions, but not in certitude. That misunderstanding, leading some to the accusation that science is therefore unreliable and even false, is perhaps the saddest part of this blue bird story. Personally, I love considering the possible reasons behind things: how evolution must have sculpted the wings of birds from their dinosaur ancestors; how short grassy meadows are probably the preferred habitat for bluebirds because they can more easily see tasty bugs; and how biliverdin, the pigment that makes the bluebird’s eggs blue is apparently the same substance we see as green or yellow in the early stages of a bruise on our own human skin. I mean, who knew?
Scientific research and thought has offered these explanations. It’s interesting. Most people trust science when it comes to setting pollution limits for the water we drink or the air we breathe, and most people trust the science behind the setting of appropriate drug doses. So why not the science setting carbon limits? Is it because by accepting it, we acknowledge that we cannot go back? And worse, that we will have to change some of our habits? Like the bluebirds?

MoriahÊ EasterÊ EggÊ HuntÊ aÊ hugeÊ success To the Editor: April 8 turned out to be a great day for our Easter Egg Hunt! Over one hundred kids came to lay their claim to 3,500 eggs provided by the Easter Bunny and the Easter Lady. The Moriah Chamber of Commerce sends out a big thank you to all the families who came down to the town park to enjoy our annual event. Thanks also to the many people who made donations and lent their time to make this event such a success! Without your help and support we could not make the Easter Egg Hunt possible. Catherine Sprague Moriah Chamber of Commerce
BorderÊ adjustmentÊ taxÊ couldÊ reviveÊ U.S.Ê textileÊ industry To the Editor: Maybe you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing Ivanka Trump’s apparel, but many buy into the fashion image. It’s a $100 million business, sustained by exploited labor. According to the Fair Labor Association: “Workers at a factory in China, used by the company that makes clothing for Ivanka Trump’s fashion line and other brands, worked nearly 60 hours a week to earn wages of little more than $62 a week.” Of course, they also lack benefits and endure unsafe working conditions, neo-slavery that we don’t tolerate here. Those dollar-an-hour wages are the main reason 300,000 textile and apparel jobs were lost in the U.S. between 2001 and 2011. Even though coal mining employs about as many people now as it did in 2001, many Trump supporters believe the myth that Obama killed the industry. They are told that, by sacrificing the environment, the glory days of coal will return. That’s nonsense. Notice how, by distracting us with coal mining mythology, we don’t discuss the fact that many more jobs have been lost in the less hazardous textile/apparel industry. Here’s where the Border Adjustment Tax can help. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, in 2014, the cost of US regulatory compliance is $6 per labor hour. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Assuming it takes an hour to make a sweater in China, that same labor costs at least $13 in the US. Therefore the BAT ought to be at least $12. By equalizing labor costs this eliminates a primary incentive to offshore manufacturing. Of course BAT won’t be enacted — the GOP lacks approval from their corporate masters (such as Wal-Mart, seller of Trump-branded merchandise) to pursue it. Even if they had the guts to defy them, they lack the organization or credibility to pass it. The Tea Party Freedom Caucus will oppose a new tax. Democrats won’t consider supporting tax legislation until the president releases his income tax returns. It’s unfortunate because a return of textile and apparel manufacturing jobs could lift thousands out of poverty and reduce their dependence on government assistance. Isn’t this what the working class expected from their renegade president? The failure to seriously debate a BAT illustrates why we need to get rid of both major parties. We can’t expect the people who created our problems to solve them. Frank Pagano Jay

COMMENTARY
Behind the Pressline Staying Competitive
Dan Alexander
Publisher/CEO
L
ast week I wrote about nothing lasting forever. Everyday businesses, just as individuals, must continue to evolve and adapt to the constant change that is around every corner. Last week’s column noted changes with major retail stores and with the state of newspaper ownership in this country. The agent of change when seen as an opportunity can be a great ally, but when looked upon as a dreaded curse .... well, it generally doesn’t bode well for those undergoing the change. The Sun and our sister paper the Vermont the Eagle are about to undergo a major change as we bid farewell to our long time Managing Editor and senior page architect in the newsroom, John Gereau. John has accepted an important position with Mountain Lake Services in Essex County. It’s a great opportunity for John and Mountain Lake is getting a terrifically talented guy who will serve their organization with great skill and professionalism. We wish John and Mountain Lake Services nothing but the very best with their mission of serving people with developmental disabilities in Essex County, New York. As for our community newspapers, while we are sorry to see our long time friend leave, we recognize this change as an opportunity to not only stay competitive but as an opportunity to restructure our newsroom given the growth we’ve undergone the last few years. Computers, software, personnel and expansion exerted a constant change on the way we operate but like a quarterback on a football team, the offense is built around the skill sets of team members. John’s departure will allow other talented members of our team to step forward into new assignments and open the door for some new talent to join the team. We view it both as an exciting period of time when we’ll take inventory of what we do well and how we can improve in those areas where we need a little help. Competition both inside and outside an organization benefits everyone when the desire to put forth your best product seems to take on greater focus. I can already see the pace of the daily routine taking on a new emphasis as we interview and prepare for John’s departure. As we meet with talented writers, editors and designers in the weeks ahead we’ve always got room for another hat in the ring. If you are looking to join an organization that’s growing and you’re looking for a challenging career where you can make a difference send us your resume at jobs@suncommunitynews.com.

CROWN POINT
Monument in Crown Point salutes historic trail The Knox Cannon Trail gets a monument at Crown Point forts By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
CROWN POINT – A monument commemorating the cannon that Henry Knox hauled from Lake Champlain to Boston at the beginning of the American Revolution will be unveiled at Crown Point State Historic Site. The Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site will host the public unveiling ceremony on Saturday, May 13 at 1 p.m. at the Crown Point State Historic Site museum building. An outdoor reception of light refreshments will follow, rain or shine, and is free to the public. This new monument at Crown Point State Historic Site will complete the 250-mile Knox Cannon Trail of 56 monuments, 30 in New York and 26 in Massachusetts, which
was installed in 1927 to mark the journey of Colonel Henry Knox between Dec. 5, 1775, and Jan. 24, 1776. Under Knox’s command, 59 cannon weighing almost 60 tons were hauled from Lake Champlain to Dorchester Heights, Mass. where their presence convinced the British to end their blockade of Boston Harbor on March 17, 1776, Historic Site Manager Michael G. Roets said.
“Since the installation of the Knox Cannon Trail of monuments in 1927, research has proven that 29 of the 59 cannon used to liberate Boston came from Crown Point, making it the actual starting point of the cannon trail,” he said. “The installation of a monument at Crown Point will complete the “Knox Cannon Trail” and finally commemorate the role that Crown Point played in this significant Revolutionary War story.” Re-enactors portraying the patriot Green Mountain Boys, under the command of Captain Seth Warner, will arrive at the dedication to commemorate the May 11, 1775 liberation of 111 cannon from the few British soldiers who’d been posted at the fort. The unique commemorative bronze plaque was made possible by the generosity of the New York State Daughters of the
American Revolution and by a grant from Parks and Trails New York. Many Daughters of the American Revolution members will travel from throughout New York and Vermont to attend, Roets said. “The granite plinth has been very generously donated by the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area as part of their ongoing efforts to restore the 1927 Knox Cannon Trail of monuments,” he said. The Knox Cannon Trail Monument will be unveiled during a ceremony at Crown Point State Historic Site. Photo provided

Arrests made in wake of Hague general store shooting By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
HAGUE — Two Thurman residents have been arrested in connection with a robbery and shooting at the Hague Market on Tuesday that left a local man hospitalized. The holdup triggered a search for two suspects who were taken into custody on April 27. Latham-based State Police arrested Vittorio L. “Vito” Campano, 25, for attempted murder, and Campano and Christine W. Tomko, 27, for felony firstdegree robbery. The pair was arraigned the morning of Friday, April 28 and sent to the Warren County Jail. Bail has been set at $1 million. Jim Rypkema, 63, was shot four times in the upper torso with a small-caliber firearm — a number authorities revised from three — and is recovering at University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington. Tomko had worked as an emergency medical technician Campano for ambulance squads, while Campano was an office assistant. Her Facebook page says the two were engaged to be married. Campano is accused of shooting Rypkema and making off with less than $100 from the store.
Campano and Tomko in a Facebook post.
State Police Troop G Captain Robert E. Patnaude said police believe they wanted to kill Rypkema to leave no witnesses. The store owner had already given them the money from the register when he was shot. Although Campano allegedly wore a camouflage face mask, a witness saw the two drive away and gave police a description of their car, a Pontiac Vibe with what authorities said were distinctive stickers, which was stopped in Queensbury on Thursday and led to the couple’s arrest. Video surveillance footage also aided in the investigation. The couple are also suspected of up to eight additional burglaries in Warren County.
Police obtained search warrants for a storage shed, where they found items relative to the crime and the others — including the small caliber handgun used in the shooting, which police said was stolen. The general store at 9844 Graphite Mountain Road (Route 8) is owned by Jim and Sally Rypkema. The Hague Market had just reopened for the season, and hosted an event for the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce last week. New York State Police from Troop G, the Warren County Sheriff ’s Department and Ticonderoga Town Police were all at the scene after the shooting. Ticonderoga Emergency Squad, Hague Ambulance Squad and Lamoille Ambulance were also called to the site. Campano graduated from Queensbury High School in 2009, and Tomko from Lake George High School in 2008. Tomko put a note on her Facebook page, “I Support the Police,” on April 19, with numerous others posting on April Tomko 28, after her arrest, that they support them, too – in Hague. She also posted she was feeling stressed and needed gas money to get to work at a Saratoga Springs business she was just starting at. “Now you can feel drained in prison,” one woman wrote on Tomko’s Facebook page on Friday.
LaCute Road Runners to award new scholarship TICONDEROGA — The LaChute Road Runners Club will again present the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship this spring. The $1,000 award will go to a LaChute Road Runners Club member or a Ticonderoga High School graduate who participated in varsity cross country and/or track and field who attends college full-time. In 2016, three $1,000 scholarships were presented. The winner, selected by a scholarship committee, will be a person who reflects the
strong academic, athletic and character traits of Crammond. He died in a car accident in 2005 at age 24. Scholarship applications are available at the Ticonderoga High School guidance office, by contacting Matt Karkoski, scholarship chairman, at 585-7206, and online at http://www. lachute.us/misc_PDF/Scholarship.pdf Application deadline is May 13. This year will mark $15,000 in scholarships awarded in Crammond’s memory by the LaChute Road Runners Club.
“Duane was a great runner, but he was so much more,” Karkoski said. “He set a great example for younger runners through his work ethic and determination to succeed. “We’re pleased we can honor Duane with a scholarship and, at the same time, help someone meet their college goals,” he added. Crammond, the valedictorian of the Ti High Class of 1999, was a cross country and track champion in high school. He went on to become an honor student at RPI, where he majored in engineering and was captain of the college’s cross country team. He was also
the leading distance runner on RPI’s indoor and outdoor track teams. After graduation from college, Crammond dominated local race races. In 2003, he won the Montcalm Mile in Ticonderoga and the Race the Train event in North Creek. He was third in the Whiteface Uphill Run in Wilmington, fourth in the Prospect Mountain Road Race in Lake George and fifth in the Lake George to Bolton Adirondack Distance Run. He capped that season by winning the grueling Adirondack Marathon in Schroon Lake.

more measured and thorough review of the project, and for the town to follow procedure — even it meant a long, careful examination by the town and planning boards alongside a detailed cost-benefit analysis. Ceresnak said the town was changing their zoning to fit the project, which is atypical: Localities typically entertain new business pitches based on current zoning, he said. As a result of the project, he said the neighborhood’s property values would plunge. Taylor Street residents also called for the case to be considered by the Zoning Board of Appeals, where Stewart’s would have to make their case. But Marnell held steadfast, and said if the decision went to the ZBA, and was appealed by residents and challenged in court, then the project was toast. “You’re making it our problem, and you’re spending our money — and you’ve got to stop that,” said Steven Cass, a project critic. Skeptics also questioned the net economic benefit and said the expansion and its traffic would fundamentally alter the character of the neighborhood. Steve Kinley, a Stewart’s representative, said the new location would see a net traffic gain of 12 vehicles per hour during the morning peak, and 14 at night. David Harder moved to the town 35 years ago, and cited the efforts the town has made to preserve its unique character alongside waterfront revitalization projects. “And now with one fell swoop, you’re going to put a Stewart’s there with blazing Times Square lights across the lake,” Harder said. Other local residents defended the project, citing the ailing economy and congestion issues at the present location. “We have a company who wants to invest $1.5 million in our community,” said Don Miller, who urged a compromise solution, citing what he said were legitimate concerns from residents. “There’s going to be more tax revenue, and more employees.”

Rick Dumoulin said the town hosts just one motel that is open year-round. “We tend to be so worried about protecting the town, we’re destroying the town,” he said. “It’s really time you get serious about growing this town.” Ultimately, the board voted 4-1 to obtain counsel before moving forward. “I want to see the project move forward properly so there’s fairness for all,” said Councilwoman Meg Woods. Councilman Roger Friedman was the lone holdout, and voted no on obtaining counsel. “Happy neighbors make a happy project,” he said, citing the residential concerns. “Zoning is not a majority rule. “When you’re litigated, you lose.” The chairman of the planning board was not immediately available for comment on Tuesday. NEXT STEPS Residents asked about a potential compromise that would allow the popular retail store to both expand and assuage local concerns. But Kinley said plans for the structure are set in stone, and don’t allow for creative structural modifications. “We have 337 stores, and do try to keep them as consistent as possible,” Kinley said. “As far as flexibility, there’s not a lot of flex-

ibility in creating a new store.” Stewart’s Shops does not utilize two-story outlets, and installs standard-sized equipment at all locations, including cabinets and freezers. Kinley met with Ceresnak and the Shelleys ahead of the meeting, and proposed a series of revisions, including nixing a point of ingress on Taylor Street, modifying the lighting, restricting noise from air conditioning and heating systems and using white fencing to house dumpsters (as opposed to a chainlink fence). But Ceresnak said the modifications are not good enough, and said he would either sell his home or file a lawsuit. “What you’re doing is illegal,” he said. “I will hire counsel, and the whole neighborhood will.” Wallace, reading from a prepared statement he sent to town officials last week, said he also may seek punitive damages for what he referred to as an “unlawful act perpetrated

Kinley, who will return to present the revised plan to the board, said he hoped their original goal to start construction in August would hold firm. “We’re still hopeful we can do that,” Kinley said. — Juliana Carattini contributed reporting ABOVE: The Schroon Town Board voted 4-1 on Monday, May 1 to obtain counsel before moving forward on the proposed Stewart’s Shops expansion project.

Nurses work together to help Moses-Ludington Hospital nurses appreciate National Nurses Week By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA – Being a nurse requires dedication and training, and with National Nurses Week starting May 6, nurses at Moses-Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga appreciate the recognition of their vital role in healthcare. The salute to nurses originated by the American Nurses Associations ends on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Karen Griffin has been a nurse for 40 years, coming to work at Inter-Lakes Health’s Moses-Ludington Hospital in 2008. “No day is typical,” she said. “Some days we have sore throats and sprained ankles. Another day we’ll see two people with chest pains in a row. “It’s unpredictable, and that’s one of the things I like about the E.R.” Patients frequently arrive in unstable condition; they may be unconscious and key information such as medical history, underlying conditions and allergies is unavailable, nurses said. Regardless, the patient’s situation must be assessed and stabilizing treatment initiated quickly, nurses say. Many patients can be treated and then released; but some require additional, specialized and immediate medical care. For those patients, Moses-Ludington is in a unique position with a very unique and critical role: to assess and stabilize the patients for transport to a trauma center or other facility that can provide the specific type of care required, hospital spokeswoman Jane Hooper said. Often, nurses can ride in the ambulance with the patient to assist en route.
Nurses (from left) Mary Hilder and Karen Griffin assess a volunteer patient in the emergency room at Moses-Ludington.
Griffin said many patients arrive by car, with someone entering the E.R. to tell them they’ve just driven a patient into the parking lot. “You have to be prepared for anything,” she said. Nurse Cheryl Meserve, with several years
experience, said they often have to bring patients in from the parking lot themselves. “Most people come in and say ‘I have someone in the car,’ We go out with a stretcher,” she said. The helipad at the hospital also gets frequent use, she said. “We’ve had two (air transports) in one day,” she said. “We see motor vehicle accidents, logging accidents, motorcycle accidents.” The Moses-Ludington emergency department’s skilled nursing staff is poised to handle

any situation at any moment, 24 hours a day, treating more than 6,500 patients each year, Hooper said. She said the nurses at Moses-Ludington care for trauma patients, critical care patients, individuals involved in accidents, stroke victims, heart attack victims, those with broken bones and sick children in the middle of the night. The staff is trained and prepared to handle it all – and sometimes, simultaneously. “It can get hairy,” Griffin said. “You prioritize. People work together in the E.R. You have to.” The E.R. has four beds and a stretcher and sometimes runs out of beds, although a coming reconstruction will solve that. “In the summer, we can move minor ailments to the (hospital) clinic,” Griffin said. Because they don’t have constant intake, people can usually get in and out quickly, Griffin said, and they provide more personalized treatment. “It’s greatly appreciated by people,” she said. Meserve said being local makes their care more personal. “You know the people who come in, or know their families,” she said.. Their main concerns are space and staffing, but many nurses now go back and forth between Moses-Ludington and Elizabethtown Community Hospital. “We’re getting better space,” Griffin said. “We’ll have a new E.R. We’ll be able to keep people up to 48 hours.” Once patients recover from things like cardiac ailments, they’re back in the community. “You see them around,” Griffin said. “It’s nice to be able to help them.” Both said one of the reasons they like working at Moses-Ludington is the people there. “We have a great facility,” Meserve said. “It’s a great >> See NURSES | pg. 15

place to work. You get to know everybody and work with all departments.” Nurse Mary Hilder is new to the field, and has been learning from her co-workers. “I’ve felt very welcomed here,” she said. “Everything is very exciting. In any situation, someone has your back. I never feel like I’m alone.” She said she learns new skills every day in the E.R. “There’s always a skill to master,” she said. “They’re helping you, for sure.” The staff is accustomed to dealing with a variety of serious situations. In fact, the emergency department handles life-threatening, critical care and trauma on a regular basis, roughly 400 cases per year. Nurses assess and manage patient care when there is limited time to treat someone. “I do like it here,” Hilder said. “It’s awesome. And we’re getting a new E.R.” Moses-Ludington is about to be transformed – the construction is set to begin within a few weeks, lasting roughly two years. The emergency department will be dramatically improved, Hooper said. The changes: • New ED will be roughly 4 times the size of the current ED • Room to maneuver stretchers, room for nurses and other clinical staff to easily care for patients • Easily accessible supply storage • New equipment • The ED will also have a 4-bed observation unit, so that clinical staff can monitor patients, as required. Elizabethtown Community Hospital will manage and operate the services available at Moses-Ludington, which will become part of Elizabethtown Community Hospital. Staff members from Elizabethtown Community Hospital and Moses-Ludington have been collaborating for a number of months. ECH/MLH Chief Nursing Officer Julie Tromblee said they’re working closely as it gets close to the start of construction on the hospital renovation project. “We’re making sure we’re sharing common nursing practices (between hospitals), providing training, the latest equipment,” she said. “We’re here with support for them. “They haven’t had that extra support and everything they need. Systems have to align. It can be as simple as focusing on a common practice.” The two hospitals could share staff in the future, she said. “The nursing staff at Moses-Ludington offers the community their collective skill, education, dedication and compassion every single day,” she said. “As the organization is transformed, patients will certainly be more aware of the gorgeous new facility; but the exceptional clinical knowledge and unwavering compassion that the nurses at Moses-Ludington offer to patients will remain constant. It will simply be enhanced.” Hooper said Moses-Ludington’s role is to provide initial, life-saving care that offers patients time to get to a trauma, heart, burn or stroke center. “Patients with significant illness or injury have limited time to receive treatment – it’s an amount of time known as the ‘golden hour,’” she said. “Rural hospitals often serve to extend that hour by treating and stabilizing the patient, so that there is more time to get to a larger Nurse Karen Griffin prepares paperwork in the Moses-Ludington Hospital emergency department. facility.”

How to show a nurse you care
N
urses are often the first people patients see when visiting hospitals. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources Services Administration, there were 2.8 million registered nurses, including advanced practice RNs, and 690,000 licensed practical nurses, or LPNs, in the United States between the years of 2008 and 2010. Nurses fill many roles in the medical community, assisting doctors and helping to make in-patient stays more comfortable for men and women who are ill or injured. Specialized nurses, such as nurse practitioners, may even serve as the primary healthcare provider, offering diagnoses and writing prescriptions. While there is a specific week set aside to show appreciation to nurses, many people agree that they deserve recognition throughout the year. Any instance is a good time to give back to nurses, and the following are a few ways to honor the nurses in your life. • Play caretaker to him or her. Nurses tend to the needs of others all the time, but some nurses do not get the respite they deserve. Those who want to show appreciation to a nurse who has helped them in their lives can present the nurse with a gift card for a massage and soothing spa treatment. • Cater a meal. Offer to cater a meal at the hospital or medical office so that all nurses on staff can benefit. If there is one nurse in particular you want to treat, give that nurse a gift card to a nearby restaurant. • Provide foot relief. Nurses spend hours on their feet, and that can cause pain or stiffness throughout the body. Present a gift card to a store that specializes in comfort shoes or custom orthotics. A certificate for a pedicure or foot massage would no doubt be appreciated as well. • Create a charmed existence. Charm bracelets are the rage right now, and nurses may appreciate a bracelet that highlights their career path with specific charms. For something they can wear on the job, treat nurses to a Steth-o-Charm™, which is a charm that slides securely onto stethoscopes. These charms come in many designs and can make for a memorable gift. • Give a decorative badge reel. Nurses must wear identification or have swipe cards on their person to gain access to areas of hospitals. Many badges are standard items without any flare or style. A colorful or decorative badge reel can be a nice way to brighten up a nurse’s day. • Give verbal or handwritten thanks. One of the easiest and most heartfelt ways to show your appreciation to nurses is to simply tell them how you feel. Offer a handwritten note or speak with a nurse in person. Such a simple gesture does not take much effort, but it is bound to make an impact.

Schroon Lake Library receives $7,500 for child education center SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake Public Library has been awarded a $7,500 grant from the Adirondack Foundation to aid the library’s efforts in development an Early Education Childhood Center. The goal, organizers say, will be to promote literacy through group activities at the library and home-based activities. Story hours will expose children and parents to quality books and include art, songs, movement, music and healthy snacks. Parents may borrow backpacks filled with books and home-based activities that will help them prepare their children for school. Programs for parents will be offered through partnerships with Adirondack Community Action Program, Early Head Start and Essex County Public Health Department. Funds will also be used to furnish the children’s area in the new section of the library. The Schroon Lake Town Hall is undergoing an expansion that will increase the size of the library by 2,500 sq. ft. The library’s expansion committee is currently applying for grants through local foundations to furnish other sections of the new library. Community donations are also welcome.

MORIAH
Following dissolution, business district remains protected Moriah Town Council continued a moratorium on first floor changes By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
MORIAH – The Moriah Town Council has taken the baton from the defunct Port Henry Village Board and continued a moratorium on first-floor residential conversions in the business district. By a 4-0 vote, with Councilor Tim Garrison absent, the Town Council recently extended the moratorium on street-level residential development for one year. A public hearing on the moratorium is at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, May 11 at the Town Courthouse. The Village Board had been renewing the moratorium for two years, while an ad hoc committee
and a consultant worked on writing a zoning law for the village. The zoning ordinance is completed, but wasn’t passed before the village dissolved on March 31, because of questions about some parts of the law, such as prohibition of breweries in the waterfront district. That would have precluded a brewery at the Van Slooten Harbour Marina, where a Moriah resident is considering doing just that. Town officials said they’ll work on the zoning plan, which was originally proposed to keep landlords from converting storefronts to apartments in the village’s downtown business district. Officials said if that had continued, there would no longer be a business district at some point. At the meeting, Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava also announced he’d heard from two businesses interested in purchasing the Port Henry fire house on Church Street. “We wouldn’t put them (Port Henry
Fire Department) out on the street,” he said. “We’d help them get a new building.” With the dissolution of the village, the town now owns the three-story fire station, which was the former Henry Garage, and is leasing it back to the fire department, which became independent following the end of the village. The town received no bids for a sewage tank pump-out service for campers at the former village campground, the Champ RV Park, and its own Bulwagga Bay Campground, and announced it would conduct pumpouts one day a week at both campgrounds this season. The town has equipment and had been doing them at the Bulwagga Bay Campground it owns “I don’t think it’s a service we should be providing,” Scozzafava said. He said they’ll continue to look for a private service to do the tank pumpouts. On May 5, the Town Solid Waste Transfer Station will go to its summer schedule and be open Tuesdays through Saturdays. The station will also stay open until 7:30 p.m. on Fridays. The town will host a hazardous waste collection day at the Town Highway Garage, to be conducted by Essex County Highway Department, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 2.

Some alarm dialers must be reset with new area code The new 838 area code overlay will require 10 digit dialing on Aug. 19 By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA — With the deadline for a new overlay area code approaching in northern New York, many devices need to be reprogrammed to dial the area code along with the phone number. And most agencies are already preparing for the changeover to 10-digit dialing. The New York State Police Troop B commander, Major John Tibbits, said they aren’t having any issues with the change, necessary with the arrival of the new 838 area code that will join 518 for this region. “Only seven-digit calls are affected,” he said. “It should be pretty much seamless.” The Ray Brook Troop B headquarters number, 597-2000, will stay the same, he said, and people will just have to dial the 518 area code first. For 911 emergency calls, those will still be just 911, he said. Essex County Emergency Services Director Donald Jaquish said the County 911 Center is phasing out alarm dialers that call them on a special number anyway, and 911 will still be used for emergencies. “Anyone whose dialer calls a seven-digit number will have to reprogram it for all 10,” he said. “Although some of those dialers have called the 911 center in the past, there have been problems. We had an emergency situation we were dispatching to in Schroon Lake and an alarm autodialer called the center again and again, tying up dispatchers who were needed for something very serious.” He said the dialers will no longer be able to call the 911 center, and those using them will have to make other arrangements. There are answering services that will take such calls and verify them before calling emergency services. At the Essex County office for the Aging, Coordinator
Krissy Leerkes said her agency contracts with North Country Home Services of Saranac Lake for Personal Emergency Response Systems dialers, known as PERS, used by some senior citizens. North Country Home Services Chief Financial Officer D. Scott Tooker explained that the units already call a toll-free 800-number, so won’t need to be reprogrammed. “Our Lifeline PERS units are monitored by Lifeline Central in Massachusetts,” he said. “The units dial an 800 number to reach central monitoring whenever they are activated. “North Country Home Services had performed monitoring locally until 2010, when Lifeline made the decision to no longer support local monitoring. An 800 number was also used back then, so that subscribers would not incur telephone charges whenever the Lifeline unit was activated. None of our units will need to be reprogrammed due to the new area code overlay.” At Crown Point Telephone Company, President Shana
Macey said Crown Point Fire Department is assisting them in getting the word out that 10-digit daling will be required. “I think we need to use our community presence to spread the word about the 518 overlay and let people know they should be aware of how their medical alert and fire alarm systems dial out,” she said. “A collaborative effort often brings more notice and I really appreciate CPFD stepping up.” She said the 518 area code covers all or part of 17 counties in eastern upstate New York and the new 838 area code will serve the same geographic area. “That’s a lot of people who will be affected by this new dialing pattern,” Macey said. “As a service provider, we felt it was very important to reach out to our community officials, emergency services and law enforcement partners to pin point certain critical issues with the upcoming overlay. Their input on specific public concerns can help make this a safer transition.” Starting now and ending Aug. 19, customers can dial either seven or 10 digits — the area code plus seven-digit local telephone number — on calls within the 518 area code. After the transition period ends on Aug. 19, residential, business and wireless customers in the 518 area code will need to dial all 10 digits. Officials with the North American Numbering Plan Administrator, which handles U.S. area codes, said the change was needed because the 518 area code would use all available numbers by 2019. “Even though it’s not required at this time, practicing the 10 digit dialing pattern will go a long way toward easing frustrations when the Aug. 19 deadline hits,” Macey said. “After that, your call will not be completed unless all 10 digits are dialed. It seems like an unnecessary nuisance at this time, but as new numbers with the 838 area code are issued it will become clear why it was so important to make the transition.” Residents requesting new phone lines or changing their service location after Sept. 19 may be assigned an 838 area code.

County aims to curb Frontier Town trespassing Local officials grant state easement rights to “explore, evaluate and examine” the county-owned premises — and to stamp out trespassing By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
NORTH HUDSON — The state now has full access to Frontier Town. Local officials granted the easement rights on Monday for the state to “explore, evaluate and examine” the countyowned premises. A chief reason is so the state Department of Environmental Conservation can secure items county officials suspect are being illegally removed from the property, located just off Exit 29 of the Adirondack Northway in North Hudson. “They want to be able to get on the ground, gather that up and secure those items,” said Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston (I-Wilmington). Preston said he has noticed cars parked at the site each time he has visited the parcel. While he has no definite proof items are being poached, he can’t see any other motives for people entering the site. “I certainly have a concern at the people I observe,” he said. “Why would you be there?” The former theme park has been empty since its closure in 1998. Since then, it has become a popular destination for explorers, and a number of blogs have surfaced detailing depictions of expeditions. Several buildings that constitute the former wild west attraction, which are not visible from the road, continue to moulder into the forest, including the former church. Plans are underway to transform the long-neglected site into a tourism hub called the Gateway to the Adirondacks, a project state and local officials say will revitalize the regional economy. The state legislature signed off on up to $32 million in state investment earlier this month. Essex County put up posted signs last summer at several
former motels and restaurants along Route 9 to dissuade explorers. The structures, which are deteriorating, are on the proposed project site. The county last year culled plans to go out for RFP on asbestos remediation of those hotel properties, citing the costs. But the idea isn’t entirely nixed. “It’s been an ongoing discussion,” Preston said. “We had a very lengthy meeting in Warrensburg last week and are still working through that.” Costs for remediation remain unknown, and county lawmakers would ultimately have to sign off on any clean-up plans. “I don’t know what the amount is yet, and we haven’t agreed to do anything yet,” Preston said. “There needs to be a clear path.” Essex County Manager Dan Palmer said the county has applied for a $800,000 Northern Border Regional Commission grant that may aid with costs. “The worst-case scenario is that it could be a funding source we could leverage if the state did ask us to pay for (asbestos
remediation),” Palmer said. Lawmakers also approved a symbolic resolution indicating they remain committed to the project. The memorandum of understanding with the DEC, the town of North Hudson and Empire State Development is designed to ensure work will continue despite the unfinished easement and land transfer process. The stakeholders will jointly craft an RFP to solicit responses for private sector businesses to compete in the bidding process for redevelopment rights. “What this RFP is doing is letting (ESD) put out marketing solicitation proposals for management of the property,” Preston said. “There is a lot of pressure to get this thing moving and at the end of the day that’s really good for us.” At least one local business, Paradox Brewery, has announced plans to relocate to the site. Discussions with the brewery are ongoing, said Preston. Essex County granted the state access to Frontier Town on Monday, May 1 to curb unlawful trespassing and to secure relics of the former theme park. File photo

Details emerge on shared services School districts open to participating, but will likely be left out of first round of panel discussions in Essex County
anything different,” Palmer said. Fire districts are prohibited from serving on the panel. Towns and villages located within two counties, including Saranac Lake, may serve on both county panels.
By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — Details are surfacing on the state’s new shared services initiative requiring counties to convene panels of local stakeholders in order to reduce property taxes. According to the state Department of State, participation from towns, villages and cities in the newly-mandated panels is required, but school districts are optional and will participate at the discretion of the county executive. Special districts are also voluntary. Panels must submit plans to eliminate duplicative services to the Essex County Board of Supervisors for review by Aug. 1. By majority vote, the board would then issue an “advisory report” making recommendations as deemed necessary. Once submitted, the panel must approve the plan by Sept. 15. After that, the county manager must hold a public presentation by Oct. 15. The county must also hold a minimum of three public hearings to solicit input from taxpayers and business groups, among other stakeholders. Essex County Manager Dan Palmer said early efforts are focusing solely on towns, and school districts may be invited to the table next year. As the state directives fall into place, Palmer said he and other county executives are envisioning the first panel as a way to brainstorm and garner ideas. “We will invite (school districts) if something appeared to be practical,” Palmer said. “Most of us are looking to see the first one simplified.” Chief in the county’s crosshairs is emergency services. The county last week revealed a survey that maps a blueprint for a potential countywide system. “We’ve started on EMS study path and will see where that leads before proposing
SCHOOL DISTRICTS REACT Area school superintendents said they would be happy to participate if asked, but said they already share numerous programs with their respective towns. “A few years ago, we sat down and developed a shared service plan with the town to ensure we were not duplicating services that we could share with each other,” said Moriah Superintendent William Larrow. “To date, I feel we have done a nice job with the town sharing services and will continue to look at ways to expand on what we are currently doing.” Others expressed concern over the timeline, and wanted to ensure their efforts would result in real change — not bureaucratic wheel-spinning. “In fact, meeting the requirements of these types of mandates can end up draining valuable time and resources better directed elsewhere,” said Lake Placid Central Superintendent Dr. Roger Catania. “We experienced just that a few years ago when the state required us to document savings from shared services with onerous bureaucratic requirements attached.” Public institutions and municipalities are already directly accountable to area residents, he said, so additional state regulations may distract from municipal efforts rather than focus on them. “We would be happy to work with Essex County or any municipal partners to discuss ways we can work together in the mutual interests of our constituencies, although I would only want to do so if there was some real benefit to be had rather than a bureaucratic effort that in the end accomplishes little of substance,” Catania said. Keene Central Superintendent Daniel Mayberry echoed the concerns over the timeline. And while he noted the board of education would likely “seriously consider” participating in the panel, he said broader reforms at the state may be needed. “I believe the better place to start would be the state examining the mandates that are responsible for a large portion of the
current property tax issue in New York,” Mayberry said. Elizabethtown-Lewis and Westport Central Superintendent Scott Osborne called the initiative a “good concept, but seems heavy-handed and cumbersome.” “I get more done in the area of shared services in working with other schools and the town on my own,” he said. But possible collaboration with the county might be useful when navigating the increase in mental health needs among our students and families. “I’d be interested in partnering with the county to bring mental health services and social workers into our schools to further support our students,” Osborne said. “I’m not particularly focused on savings or reducing costs as much as I’m focused on enhancing our attention on the ‘whole child’ which ultimately impacts learning.” PIONEERS Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said his town are pioneers of collaboration, citing security, maintenance snow removal and summer youth program agreements with Moriah Central. “What (the state) doesn’t understand or realize is most municipalities, schools and counties have been doing this for years as a necessity — not as a handshake-friendly gesture,” Scozzafava said. “It’s unfortunate because there’s not any meat left on the bone.” “What I would love to see is something from Albany to tell us what areas we should be sharing — I bet it’s already everything we’re already doing.” Scozzafava, whose town absorbed the village of Port Henry last month, called the dissolution process “brutal” and criticized the state for providing “little guidance and incentives.” “The state of New York needs to look into sharing services with neighboring states,” he said. “They need to get their own house in order.” Essex County years ago consolidated a number of departments, including Community Development and Planning, Youth Bureau, Stop DWI and Traffic Safety, into the Department of Community Resources (and several of those departments were folded into the Department of Social Services on Monday).
And in neighboring Franklin County, the county contracts with towns to sand and plow their roads. NON-BINDING Essex County officials had initially identified a takeover of local tax collection and assessment programs as possible areas of savings. Other areas flagged by the state include joint purchasing, shared highway equipment, storage facilities and plowing services, energy and insurance purchasing cooperatives and office overhead reduction. If savings do pan out, the locality will be eligible for a check from the state for the net savings. But the initiative is non-binding, and a referendum originally proposed by the governor was dropped during the budget process. If the panel fails to hash out a plan by Sept. 15, the county administrator and panelists must note the reason for its failure in a public report. And then it’s back to the drawing board: The same procedures must be followed to produce an approved plan for 2018. HIGHEST IN THE NATION Gov. Andrew Cuomo said while his property tax cap has been successful, the typical New York homeowner still pays 2.5 times more in local property taxes than in state income taxes. “Upstate New York has the highest property taxes in the United States of America,” Cuomo said in Syracuse earlier this month. “You bring the power of democracy to this discussion and you’ll see how local governments can actually find ways to save money and get creative, and I’m very excited about that because that can make a dramatic, dramatic difference.” But the New York State Association of Counties says school taxes and unfunded mandates are the chief culprit. “Trying to reduce high property taxes by insisting that local governments be more co-efficient is like trying to cut down a giant oak tree with a tiny fingernail clipper,” said NYSAC President William E. Cherry in January. “The problem is far too big, and the tool is far too small.”

We are required to include the following statement in this report: Inadequately treated water may contain diseasecausing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. The Town is working diligently with our engineering firm, the US EPA and the NYSDOH to achieve compliance with the enforcement actions. We have drilled a production well in the Street Road hamlet area and anticipate that this groundwater source should be available in 2018. SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT SUMMARY The NYS Dept. of Health completed a source water assessment for this system based on available information. This assessment for Lake George found an elevated susceptibility to contamination for this source of drinking water. Land cover and its associated activities within the assessment area does not increase the potential for contamination. While there are some facilities present, permitted discharges do not likely represent an important threat to source water quality. There is noteworthy contamination susceptibility associated with other discrete contaminant sources. The assessment area for Gooseneck Pond contains no discrete PCSs, and none of the land cover contaminant prevalence ratings are greater than low. The health department will use this information to direct future source water protection activities. These may include water quality monitoring, resource management, planning, and education programs. A copy of the assessment, including a map of the assessment area, can be obtained by contacting us. DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS? Some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Ticonderoga Water District is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline
