PORT HENRY | The state Public Service Commission has booted Charter from the state two years after the state agency approved their merger with Time Warner. The commission said Charter has failed to meet the terms and conditions set by the $55 billion merger deal — including agreement to provide broadband service to 145,000 rural locations in the state within four years — and has rescinded its approval. The PSC has given the provider, which does business as Spectrum in New York, 60 days to write a transition plan for a successor to take over broadband and cable services. » Charter Cont. on pg. 2

Youth charged in homicide Adrian J. Sawyer held without bond By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | A 16-year-old Ticonderoga boy was charged last week

with killing his 15-year-old friend at a remote home near Putnam in northern Washington County, according to New York State Police. Adrian J. Sawyer was arraigned last week on charges of second-degree murder in the death of Maverick R. Bowman. Sawyer was also charged with second-degree arson after trying to burn down the house on county Route 2

where the alleged crime occurred. He pleaded not guilty in Kingsbury, Washington County, and is being held without bond. Th rough his attorney Sawyer has waived his right to a preliminary hearing, said Jordan, meaning the state will take the case directly to the grand jury. » Homicide Cont. on pg. 9

TICONDEROGA | Rhyan Towne, the Ticonderoga boy whose bravery and grace in the face of brain cancer captured the heart of the community, died last week at the age of 8. His multi-year battle with the disease ended after the cancer was rediscovered in May, according to social media posts. Despite being dealt an unfair hand, Rhyan’s years were rich, aided by a community that offered its steadfast support. He was active in the Ticonderoga T-Ball

The balloons sent to Rhyan were a way to help young people understand that he was gone from this earth, but that his presence remained. According to a post from his mom, Ashlee Charlton in May, Rhyan had been given three months to live a year ago, but he beat those odds and lived “a normal HAPPY pain free life” throughout the past year. On Thursday, the Ticonderoga Police Department posted a video letting Rhyan know that his duties, at least on this earth, were done: “It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of junior police officer Rhyan Towne. End of tour, end of watch, July 26, 2018. Rest in peace, Rhyan, we have the watch. The video has been viewed more than 34,000 times. ■

According to the Ticonderoga T-Ball League Facebook page, “The family would like the entire public to know that there will be no funeral services, but will be a celebration of his life on Saturday August 4, at 3 p.m. at the (EMA Club on Shore Road) following Rhyan’s Ride.

» Charter Cont. from pg. 1 “Charter’s non-compliance and brazenly disrespectful behavior toward New York state and its customers necessitates the actions taken today seeking court-ordered penalties for its failures, and revoking the Charter merger approval,” said PSC Chairman John Rhodes in a statement. “Charter’s repeated failures to serve New Yorkers and honor its commitments are well documented and are only getting worse.” Charter spokesman Andrew Russell said the decision was politicized. “In the weeks leading up to an election, rhetoric often becomes politically charged,” Russell said in a statement. Charter contends they had met the guidelines. “The fact is that Spectrum has extended the reach of our advanced broadband network to more than 86,000 New York homes and businesses since our merger agreement with the PSC,” Russell said. “Our 11,000 diverse and locally based workers, who serve millions of customers in the state every day, remain focused on delivering faster and better broadband to more New Yorkers, as we promised.” But the two parties disagree on which locations should count as unserved: The PSC believes 18,000 of those locations are New

York City-area locations that shouldn’t have been included. Addresses in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Schenectady, Albany and Mt. Vernon were also flagged. Russell declined to discuss the provider’s next steps. The PSC fined Spectrum $2 million in June for failing the latest state-mandated deadline to wire 58,417 new addresses by more than 40 percent. The commission tacked on a $1 million fine, bringing the total amount to $3 million, and directed its counsel to bring an enforcement action in State Supreme Court to seek additional penalties for Charter’s “past failures and on-going non-compliance.” PSC ordered the transition should be orderly and must ensure no interruption in service to customers. Failure will do so will result in “injunctive relief in (state) Supreme Court in order to protect New York consumers.” Charter has previously attributed construction delays to utility pole owners, which must make room on their poles to accommodate new equipment. The commission dismissed those claims and said the their general counsel has referred a false advertising claim to the state Attorney General’s office for enforcement.

ers across New York state in more than 1,150 communities.

BROADBAND PROGRAM

The decision to evict Charter comes when the state has committed $500 million to its universal broadband initiative to provide service to every home and business in the state. As part of the plan, Charter had been tapped to provide broadband coverage to a specified number of homes across the Adirondacks. But Charter and the state Broadband Program Office has not made those locations public, citing their proprietary nature. “Make no mistake,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo in June, “Charter has not only violated its franchise agreement, it is deceiving the public.” ■ — Kim Dedam contributed reporting

LOCAL REACTIONS

The Essex County Board of Supervisors passed a symbolic resolution in support of booting Charter on Monday. “They haven’t met any of the milestones,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. “They had set milestones to increase service to rural areas in Moriah,” he said, pointing specifically to hamlet sections like Cheever and residential areas along Routes 9N/22. “Yet they have had constant cost increases to customers with no increase in service.” Since 2014, the former Time-Warner contract with Moriah has sat idle and unsigned, Scozzafava said. “Their representation to the consumer is horrible,” he said. “And they are a monopoly.” Westport Supervisor Michael “Ike” Tyler seconded the resolution, which passed unanimously by voice vote. Tyler told The Sun Westport still has no contract in place for cable service. Their contract with the former Charter side of the new company ended last November, Tyler said, and the town offices have had no service. “They don’t care,” Tyler said of Spectrum’s lack of response to their repeated requests to provide cable. Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston, from Wilmington, said Spectrum has not provided services the way they should to rural parts of Essex County. “Things are not happening the way they should, the way we were told they would,” Preston said. ■

RHYAN'S CELEBRATION OF LIFE

Rhyan was very loved and supported by this entire community. We openly invite each and every one of you to come together and celebrate his journey on

Saturday, August 4th at the EMA in Ticonderoga.

In his honor, RHYAN’S RIDE will still take place as scheduled. Following the return of the riders at 3pm, a kid-oriented tribute will be displayed through pictures and memories of Rhyan. Knowing Rhyan would want his friends to enjoy the day, many activities will be available to make this a memorable day for everyone involved. We are asking in lieu of flowers, donations be made to set up the annual “Rhyan Towne Memorial Scholarship.”

Thank you, once again, from Rhyan and his entire family.

With departure of president in the wings, NCCC budget meets approval Essex County poised to approve budget

But he also said enrollment was up since he arrived in 2012, and he’s leaving with a “one of the best fund balances in the region in relation to overall budget within the state two-year college system.” “With the positive momentum that we have collectively achieved in the last few years, making the announcement now affords the Board of Trustees and the college community a full year to conduct a successful search and hire a new president who can continue to help move our current strategic plan forward,” Tyrell said.

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | The $13,349,405 North Country Community College budget was approved Monday by the Essex County Ways and Means Committee. The 2018-19 spending plan reflects a 0.6 percent increase in core program costs. It was built with a 4 percent increase in tuition for both in-state and out-of-state students, adding $188 per year for in-state tuition and $443 per year for out-of-state tuition. With further discussion, it is expected to clear the full board on Aug. 6. No public comments were submitted at a public hearing held before the meeting. NCCC’s 2018-19 budget will draw $1,240,00 from Essex County coffers plus $50,000 for capital project costs.

SUPERS REACT

Lawmakers said they hope NCCC continues to work with local businesses to expand core programs for area high school graduates, including vocational training. The proposed School of Applied Technology at the Ticonderoga campus is a start, said Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava. The program is being developed in cooperation with International Paper and follows years of urging by lawmakers to open a trade school, a measure they believe will help attract local students who might seek opportunities elsewhere. “Dr. Tyrell did pursue that and I think it will be a success,” Scozzafava said. A viability study on the project will begin this month and conclude this fall, according to the college. Scozzafava commended Tyrell and college finance officers for not seeking for any in-

Budget approval comes a few days after NCCC President Dr. Steve Tyrell announced his plan to leave the college in June 2019. “Given the work we have done together that led to strengthening the college on a number of fronts, I feel this is the right time for me to explore my next professional interest,” Tyrell said in a memo to staff last week. Tyrell faced an often-rocky tenure, having survived votes of no confidence by the faculty union in 2015 and 2016 and the Essex County Board of Supervisors earlier this year.

Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland doesn’t see the current budget as a turn-around from past deficit years. “There are issues with the budget. A majority of our board (Essex County supervisors) believes there could be more stability in core programs,” he said. Revenue pushing NCCC’s 2018-19 budget into the black comes primarily from Second Chance Pell grants, funding that supports college education for inmates in correctional facilities around the area. Bridge program courses taught at area high schools are not properly regulated by NCCC,

Gillilland says, and, while cost-effective for students, bridge courses are not improving full-time student enrollment from Essex County high schools. The recent agreement NCCC made via Path to Potsdam as a step toward a bachelor’s degree at SUNY Potsdam targets students “from outside North Country’s existing service area ... so as to not impact the college’s enrollment on its current Malone, Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga campuses,” according to the program launch last year. “That is not a core mission program,” Gillilland said. A future president at NCCC, Gillilland said, would best seek more interaction with businesses in Essex County and build its core curriculum to suit. “Restaurant and hospitality management are areas not addressed by programs at (NCCC),” he said. “Elder care is another area of need.” ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

Hochul touts Adirondack tourism in North Creek Officials trumpet uptick in tourism, but no mention of overuse By Pete DeMola EDITOR

NORTH CREEK | Tourism statewide is booming. The state welcomed 243.8 million visitors in 2017, nearly 5 million more than the previous year, generating a total economic impact of $108.7 billion — up $22 billion since 2011, according to the governor’s office. Direct spending clocked in at $67.6 billion, nearly $3 billion more than 2016, and almost $14 billion more than in 2011 when Gov. Andrew Cuomo took office. Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul delivered the cheery news at the Adirondack Challenge in North Creek on Sunday, the annual weekend event designed to promote tourism by shuttling lawmakers and state officials to the region to engage in goodnatured athletic events. “For me, it’s a state of mind,” said Hochul as ski gondolas whizzed up and down a verdant green landscape at Gore Mountain. “When the street signs change to gold and brown, I know I’m back in heaven.” According to a study by the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, an estimated 968,550 travelers visited the Adirondacks last year, generating about $240.4 million. Hochul said the state was particularly focused on steering resources to the Adirondacks and ticked off a series of recent state investments, including funds to boost snowmaking operations at the state-owned Gore and Whiteface Mountain ski facilities

and airport facilities in Plattsburgh. More than 350 people attended the event, including state department heads and members of the state legislature, many of whom lavished praise on Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who took a pass this year, opting instead to stay in the New York City area, according to his public schedule. “They’re the movers and shakers of the Adirondacks,” said state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury). Activities included whitewater rafting, a guided three-mile hike through the newly-acquired Boreas Ponds and mountain biking through the Indian River tract of the Essex Chain Lakes. The event, Little said, is also critical in familiarizing downstate lawmakers with Adirondack issues, a tutorial that has proven to be useful in budget negotiations, including securing funding for infrastructure and natural disaster recovery efforts. “We want to make sure they’re given all

OVERUSE ISSUES

But while officials trumpeted the success of the state’s tourism promotional efforts, no mention was given of overuse in the High Peaks, or the growing calls to boost the numbers of Forest Rangers who patrol an ever-growing expanse of state-owned land which now numbers some 5 million acres. Keene Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson said he was supportive of the state’s efforts to boost tourism, noting the industry is the lifeblood of the High Peaks community and Essex County. Getting people to come is the first step, he said, and managing resources must follow. “In the big picture of how we manage use in the Adirondacks, I think that we’ve got to have the frontcountry and backcountry infrastrucSt Patrick’s Church: Mass: Sun. 11 a.m. Pastor Rev.

ture,” Wilson said, “and a lot of that is human beings having boots on the ground and being out there educating people, managing behavior when necessary and protecting resources, which is a critical part of the whole system.” Cuomo has implemented a 2 percent cap on state spending, which applies to agencies like the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). “While the amount of acreage they steward and the amount of search and rescues have increased, rangers are trained to adapt to changing conditions, which they have effectively done to manage for these increases,” said a DEC spokesman. “DEC is committed to ensuring that ranger staffing remains at historically high levels.” The spokesman continued: “In 2016 and 2017, we were able to hold the first back-toback academies in decades, and positions from the recent ranger academies have been concentrated in the Adirondack region.” DEC is also ensuring rangers are being outfitted with the “newest and best equipment available” and the state agency continues to keep an eye on the latest technology, said the spokesman. Forces have also been augmented by assistant rangers alongside a growing coalition of stewards and volunteers, as well as law enforcement agencies during search and rescue missions. As overuse reaches critical levels, DEC has strengthened education and outreach efforts in the High Peaks this season, as well as rolled out new policies to combat overuse, including redirecting visitors to alternative hikes and cracking down on parking problems alongside the state Route 73 corridor between Lake Placid and Keene. “I think it’s pretty clear the time is on us now to start acting,” said DEC Region 5 Director Robert Stegemann at the Common Ground Alliance in Lake Placid last month. ■

Crown Point wins big with grant package Treatment plant receives funding By Pete DeMola EDITOR

CROWN POINT | Improved cell phone coverage, new waste water treatment systems, job training programs and services to aid businesses as their aging owners transition out of the workforce are among the projects that will be funded through the latest round of Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) grants. The Town of Crown Point received $500,000 for their proposed new wastewater treatment facility. The current system is antiquated and under a state Department of Environmental Conservation consent order. When repairs are necessary, the town must custom-order parts because the company that designed the system has gone out of business. “In order to meet demands, we need to build a totally new wastewater treatment plant,” said Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington. “We felt it would be in our best interests to build a new wastewater plant that is of a modern type.” The proposed plant will be quiet, environmentally-friendly and have “minimal odors,” Harrington said.

The total cost is projected at $5.9 million. While user fees will cover some of the costs, the town will also seek interest-free loans from the Environmental Facilities Corporation to keep costs low for users. Without additional grant funding, user fees are projected to be $990 annually, Harrington said. But with grants, the rate would drop to $650 annually — just $50 more than the current rates. “We’re hopeful we can break ground next year,” Harrington said. “It will allow us to expand our hamlet, and invite businesses and new homes, which is a good thing.” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) announced the allocation of $1.46 million in funding for five projects across the North Country on Thursday. “Infrastructure is critical to creating jobs and increasing economic opportunity, and I applaud the NBRC for their announcement,” Stefanik said in a statement. The NBRC, which President Trump targeted for elimination in his budget proposal earlier this year, is designed to aid rural communities along the northern border. Funding recipients last year included the Town of Plattsburgh, which received $500,000 for clean water infrastructure, and the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency, which

Opinion

suncommunitynews.com/opinions

Just another hurdle to clear The Sun Editorial Challenges are part of daily living in both one’s personal life and that of every business. By Dan Alexander You’ve no doubt • PUBLISHER • heard about the tariffs being placed on newsprint coming out of Canada. The Sun has run stories and editorials on the subject in the recent past. So has nearly every newspaper and periodical that prints on a groundwood sheet. We would prefer the trade battle didn’t exist, and paper cost hadn’t increased over 30 percent since last October, but that’s not how things played out. Last week we learned tariffs would also be charged on the aluminum plates we also use in the production of The Sun. But like in life, we can’t always control the curve balls that get thrown at us and crying about it won’t change anything. As a business, we are frequently forced to adjust to increasing costs beyond our control. An example would be when New York state raised the minimum wage for the second year in a row. It puts us at a labor disadvantage with neighboring states and affects far more employees than a few entry-level staffers. Government, competitors, equipment failure, or even unannounced power outages that wreak havoc on delicate computer equipment. They’re all hurdles that are sometimes difficult to deal with, but dealing with them is what we do. What we won’t do is roll over and give up. Nor will we use this as an excuse to cut services, nor personnel. We’ll fight back and ask for a level playing field, but we will continue moving forward, tariffs in place or not. When we prepared our budgets last fall, we could not have predicted how these tariffs would have affected our material costs, but then we’ve had many surprises this year both good and some not so good. Again, that’s the nature of life and the gamble we take as a local private business. We’ll have to work a little harder, go without some things, find a way to cut some costs and perhaps pass along some modest adjustments to our customers as would any business facing an unavoidable increase in raw goods, but it will not threaten The Sun’s very existence. As with every setback, we’ll find a way to stay on course until these tariff storm clouds pass. Until then, it is your support that keeps us pressing ever forward, and for that, we are thankful. ■

Reviewing facts on merger study

In the wake of changing demographics and tightening budgets, we commended the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central (ELCS) and Westport Central (WCS) boards of education last year for making the difficult decision to jointly authorize a formal merger study. Decision time is now near. A joint Merger Advisory Committee has spent the past year meeting to discuss if it makes sense if the two neighboring school districts in Essex County should merge or remain independent. The subsequent merger study by the Syracuse-based consulting firm Castallo & Silky was released in May. The consultants were not tasked with making a formal recommendation to merge or not, but were rather asked by each board to examine if a merger would be worth pursuing and offering a starting point for discussion. Among the report’s key findings: • ELCS and WCS have similar operating expenses per student, capital debt, property wealth per student, tax levy and graduation rates; • Enrollment in both districts has been dropping, and each has made “significant reductions” in program offerings since 2010; • A merged district would be able to offer all current courses in each district and have efficiencies to offer more courses or to reduce staff; • Administrative costs in a merged district could be reduced by approximately $220,400; • Net staffing savings that would accrue to a merged district would be approximately $255,832;

‘Stand your ground’ should be a last resort To the Editor: In reference to the recent incident where a man was shot in a Florida parking lot, the media has once again thrown the wrong slant on “Stand Your Ground” law, trying to persuade the court of public opinion that it is a bad thing. It’s not a matter of the law being good or bad. It’s a matter of people not considering the consequences of their actions. All three adults involved were at fault in this incident. First, the woman broke the law by parking in a handicapped spot. Second, the man who challenged her broke the law by harassing her. Third, her husband, in coming to her “defense,” broke the law by physically attacking the other man and continuing his attack after the man was down. Had the woman parked legally, her husband would still be alive.

• “Leveling up” teacher salaries would cost approximately $185,131; • A potential merged district would receive $6,249,465 in state incentive operating aid over 14 years, or $657,838 for each of the first five years; • Each district requires $1 million of repairs to their infrastructure, including bus garages and athletic facilities; • The cost of building a new school at a location between the two current locations would be approximately $50 million; • The state would cover 90 percent of capital construction costs within 10 years; • Using only 1 percent of the incentive operating aid and the other savings noted in the report, the true value tax rate for a potential merged district in the first year is estimated to be $13.31 per $1,000, resulting in no increase for ELCS and a reduction of $1.31 per $1,000 at WCS. These are the facts, which now must occupy center stage as each district moves forward with this once-in-a-lifetime decision. And the districts really have entered uncharted waters. Despite the budget challenges facing school districts statewide, mergers are rare. Since 2003, there have only been four mergers statewide, according to the New York State School Boards Association, none of them in the North Country. Each board now has until Sept. 7 to host public information and discussion sessions. School boards will then vote in Septem-

Had the other man minded his own business, her husband would still be alive. Had her husband refrained from attacking the other man, he would still be alive. “Stand Your Ground” is not a bad thing. Anyone caught in such a desperate situation, that kill-or-bekilled is the only apparent option, would want “Stand Your Ground” working in his/her favor. But it should not be considered as incentive to “provoke others to wrath.” We all need to apply a little more humility and a little less arrogance to the decisions we make in life and rely on “Stand Your Ground” only when we find ourselves in a life or death situation that we had no control over in the first place. - Don Mauer, Piercefield ■

ber if they should hold straw polls, measures widely expected to pass in both districts as officials have repeatedly highlighted the importance of voter input. If either district declines to authorize the polls, the process is terminated. Once authorized, residents of each district will then have a chance to vote in a “preliminary advisory referendum” on Oct. 9. If the straw polls reveal a majority of voters in each community want to move forward with a formal vote to create a new unified school district, voters will head to the ballot box on Dec. 4 for a final public referendum. That’s just four months away. Discussion will inevitably heat up as we head closer to a vote. The passion in each community is evident by the lawn signs that have sprouted to advocate both sides of the issue. We acknowledge that school and community are intricately linked, and the decision to merge two neighboring school districts is among the most important decisions a community will ever make. Agree or disagree, we hope stakeholders are armed with the facts moving forward — not emotionally-charged conjecture or hearsay. The Sun looks forward to continuing to inform voters in the weeks ahead of the critical votes and playing a leading role in the discussion. We suspect this will be a precedent-setting debate, and the ramifications will reverberate for a long time to come, not just in our small pocket of the North Country, but statewide. ■

jacked by a radical right agenda decades in the making with escalating attempts to turn back many consumer rights and protections. The Kochs couch their agenda in such appealing terms as “personal freedom” and “individual liberty,” but their true goals of eradicating Social Security, Medicare and public education are well documented, aided by an authoritarian president who mocks democratic norms of civility. And now that a Republican-controlled Congress has been cowed, Koch donations continue to soften whatever resolve well-meaning conservatives might have once had. November elections will determine whether this insidious assault on democracy is challenged or not. We’d better pay attention and do some fact-checking ourselves on votesmart.org, govtrack. us and fec.gov. Whether we vote or not in November…we will get the country we deserve. - John O’Neill, Saranac Lake ■

favor of a small, wealthy minority. The problem for capitalism though, is democracy where the majority can vote for politicians who will favor the needs of the many. Over the decades, we have used democracy as protection from exploitation by unfettered capitalism. Social Security and unemployment benefits came into existence as a result of the massive income inequality that preceded the Great Depression. Medicare was established because senior citizens found it impossible to afford private health care insurance. We all want less taxes, but we also want the services we favor: e.g. safe roads, public education, affordable child care or health insurance. Unless, that is, you are extremely wealthy libertarians, like the multibillionaire Kochs and their ilk… in which case you can afford to buy any kind of private schooling, nannies or health care you want.

Clothing donations welcome — but be mindful of usefulness To the Editor: The First United Methodist Church Thrift Shop has served the community for many years. It offers clothing and household items at very reasonable prices. It could not exist without the wonderful donations from the community. It is staffed by volunteers who sort these items on Monday and Thursday mornings and who work when the shop is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We have an outside donation box to receive clothing and small items after hours. Many times items are left outside the donation box and are then subject to the weather. While most items are sale-able, we unfortunately receive many items that have outlived their usefulness and that no one would want. It is then up to the volunteers to dispose of them. We are asking the community to please contact us when they have donations that don’t fit in or shouldn’t be left outside the box or have multiple items that would overwhelm our volunteers. We will then arrange a time to receive your donations. You can contact the thrift shop at 518-585-2242 or the church office at 518-585-7995. - Pastor Scott Tyler and Ellen Ellor, Ticonderoga ■

Belden named leader of Ti police force Takes position of Chief Mike Mawn who resigned as of July 31 By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | A three-member commission leading the Town of Ticonderoga’s search for new police chief promoted Patrolman Mark Belden to the rank of sergeant

Monday and named him leader of the force until a permanent chief can be found. The move became necessary when former Chief Mike Mawn tendered his resignation effective at the end of July. Mawn, a retired state trooper, had hoped to stay on as chief, but did not receive a twoyear waiver from the state Civil Service Commission that would have allowed him to keep his trooper pension while being paid as chief. Mawn had been serving under a six-month waiver issued in February, and the commission offered to extend the waiver by two months,

something Mawn said was not acceptable. Two-year waivers are common, but Mawn said he did not wish to go through the application process all over again in another couple of months. Belden has passed the sergeant’s exam, but would need to have two years of supervisory experience before he would be eligible to be a chief. Commission member and Town Board member Dave Woods said another chief ’s exam will be administered in March, so the town will see what happens then. Commission and board member Joyce

Cooper said civil-service requirements make it difficult for a small town to find a qualified chief, especially one that is local and in-touch with the community. She said Mawn had been a good interim chief. “Most everybody in town was pleased with the job he was doing,” she said. “He’s a strong leader, and I’m sorry he will not be able to continue in the job.” In the meantime, commissioners gave Belden high marks. “He’s very conscientious, and he’s all about the police department,” Woods said. ■

» Homicide Cont. from pg. 1 The case was adjourned until Aug. 21 in Putnam Town Court, but the Washington County District Attorney’s Office filed paperwork that indicated a grand jury will hear the case as soon as Aug. 8.

INVESTIGATION ONGOING

An autopsy determined that Bowman’s manner of death was homicide, and the cause of death was an injury to his neck “consistent with a sharp object,” according to Washington County District Attorney Tony Jordan. A machete was recovered from the crime scene, according to reports. Jordan said the state is still determining the relationship between Sawyer and Bowman. He said police became aware of the incident when Sawyer spoke to family members, who contacted the authorities. Police then went to the scene, which is a home owned by Cindy Bowman, according to tax records. Sawyer was apprehended at his father’s home on Delano Road by Ticonderoga Police. Sawyer has not spoken directly to law enforcement at this point, according to Jordan. Toxicology reports will determine whether drugs or alcohol were involved, although he said it is not known when results will be available. Police sealed off the road leading to the crime scene last week, while numerous investigators gathered at the Ticonderoga Police Department where Sawyer was being held.

The Times of Ti Sun | August 4, 2018 • 9

Investigators with evidence kits entered the police station throughout the afternoon. Family members and friends of Sawyer remained at the Ticonderoga station for most of the day, but declined to talk to the press. “The police know more than we do at this point,” one said. Police were familiar with Sawyer, who had recently run away from home. According to Ticonderoga police, his attempts to run away were a common occurrence, but the family had become concerned when he did not return for about two weeks. Ticonderoga police said Sawyer had been picked up walking from Vermont into New York on the Champlain Bridge and returned to his family.

COMMUNITY RESPONDS

On social media, Ticonderoga students were posting about the tragedy. “No one deserves this, and parents should never have to go (through) something like this,” wrote one. “Kids should never have to come back from summer break and look at the chair where he once sat, or where he stood before the first bell. “Take us back to our innocence (and) don’t let the memory of Maverick fade away.” Bowman would have celebrated his 16th birthday at the end of July. Sawyer was going into his senior year at Ticonderoga

High School, Bowman into his junior year, said Superintendent John McDonald. McDonald said the school called a meeting of its crisis team Friday morning, and is offering counseling to students, either at the school or at their homes. “There’s disbelief that this could happen,” he said. The two were friends who apparently got into a dispute over a girlfriend, according to McDonald. He said he was not aware of any prior disciplinary problems involving Sawyer. ■

Mother and son arrested in joint crimes

MORIAH | On July 26 at approximately 12:30 a.m. New York state Police responded to a residence on Main Street in the town of Moriah regarding a report of an assault and vehicle collision. Troopers interviewed the victim regarding two incidents involving 29-year-old Michael L. Hall of Schroon Lake and Hall’s mother, Penny M. Bennett, 51, of Port Henry. An investigation revealed that at approximately 11:15 p.m. on July 25 the victim observed Hall operating a 1993 Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck, squealing the tires and doing “burnouts” before pulling into Bennett’s residence on Locke Lane. In doing so, Hall’s vehicle struck the victim’s car which was parked in the victim’s driveway.

The victim saw Hall get out of the vehicle holding several open beer bottles, highly intoxicated. After the collision, Hall drove off, leaving the scene. The victim called Bennett on the phone in order to have Hall return to the scene to file a police report. Bennett approached the victim outside in the victim’s driveway and threatened the victim with a shovel. She struck the victim in the shin with the shovel, causing the victim to sustain abrasions and contusions to his leg. As troopers were interviewing the victim, they observed Hall driving past the residence. Troopers immediately pursued the vehicle, attempting to make a traffic stop. As Hall pulled over at the intersection of state Route 9N and Elizabeth Street, he jumped out of the vehicle and attempted to run away on foot. He was apprehended at the Mobil gas station in Port Henry. His blood alcohol content was determined to be 0.12 percent. Hall was arrested and charged with DWI, aggravated unlicensed operation first degree, resisting arrest and unlawful possession of marijuana. Hall was arraigned at the Moriah Town Court and remanded to the Essex County Jail in lieu of $500 cash bail or $1,000 bond. Bennett was also arrested and charged with assault second degree, menacing second degree and criminal possession of a weapon fourth degree. Bennett was arraigned at the Town of Moriah Court and remanded to the Essex County Jail for lack of $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond. ■

James E. Foster

SCHROON LAKE | James E. Foster, 87, passed away July 21, 2018 at his home after a brief illness. Jim was born November 18, 1930 in Mt. Vernon, the son of the late William E. and Margaret Baker Foster. Jim was predeceased by his sister and brother-inlaw William and Margarette Behrman and his stepson

Kenneth (Corky) Cypher. Jim was a veteran of the Korean War, having served in the U.S. Navy from 1951 until his honorable discharge in 1955. He was a member of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 362 in Schroon Lake. He taught little baseball and enjoyed photography and taking long rides in the mountains.. Jim was a design engineer and worked for many companies over the years. He retired from LoRad in Danbury Connecticut. Jim graduated from Edison High School. Lou Gehrig’s mother lived up the street so perhaps there was baseball magic in the neighborhood. Jim was a star pitcher in high school and still holds many records that remain unbroken such as his 46 strike outs in 21 innings. This dedicated young man used to walk five miles to and from a baseball field in order to play. He was scouted by seven major league teams. Fulfilling a lifelong dream, upon his high school graduation, he accepted an offer from the ELLY WHOLE B ! CLAMS

New York Yankees and signed a contract in 1945. As his baseball career was beginning to take off, in 1950 the U.S. entered the Korean War and Jim was compelled to enlist in the Navy. While in the Navy, Jim played baseball in the Inter Service League. His reputation preceded him and he was much sought after as a pitcher. Two captains and an admiral fought over him to pitch for their teams. He once pitched and won both ends of a double header. After Jim’s tour on the Roosevelt and back in port at Norfolk, a pilot who was his coach promised to personally fly Jim to New York City as a reward for a big win. Jim obliged and was flown to Floyd Bennett Field. Jim had a full and very interesting life and enjoyed his retirement years in Schroon Lake. Jim is survived by his wife of 27 years Shirley Raymunt of Schroon Lake; his five children, James and Mary Foster of Florida, Mark and Melissa Foster of Texas, Brian and Stephanie Foster of Florida, Bruce Foster of Colorado and Brenda and Dave Dahlstrand of Georgia; nine grandchildren; one great-grandchild and several nieces and nephews. Also four step children, Michael Cypher of Florida, Barbara and Carlos Barreto of Connecticut, Felicia and Howard Canfield of Florida and Joy Miles of Connecticut, 14 step grandchildren, 9 step-great-grandchildren, one great-niece and many nieces and nephews. A funeral service was held Thursday afternoon July 26 at 2 p.m. at the Edward L. Kelly Funeral Home 1019 US Rt. 9. Interment with military honors was at the Severance Cemetery on Stowell Road in Schroon Lake. Family and friends called at the Edward L.

Land protected for recreation Open Space Institute purchases 1,206 acres near Moriah By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER

MORIAH | Outdoor enthusiasts will have another 1,206 acres in which to hike, fish and boat with the Open Space Institute’s (OSI) purchase of scenic tract of lake and forestland on Ensign Pond Road five miles east of Moriah. The focal point of the property, which was purchased from a private landowner for $1.5 million, is the 57-acre Tub Mill Pond, said OSI spokeswoman Maria Garcia. It contains five lakes and ponds, with 2.6 miles of waterfront. The property had recently been on the market for just short of $2 million, according to real estate websites. It’s a highly strategic property, bordering on the 40,000acre Hammond Pond Wild Forest, in proximity to Bald Peak, Lock Mountain and Harris Hill. Protecting the land will keep the views in the area pristine. “This has been a conservation priority for the state and town for at least the last two years,” Garcia said. The plan is for the parcel to eventually be purchased from OSI by the state, and added to the Hammond Pond Wild Forest. The property will not be open to the public until it is turned over to the state, which will draw up plans for trails and other recreation. “This scenic property, with its iconic mountain views, forests teeming with wildlife, and glittering lakes and ponds is the perfect location for local residents and visitors to get outside and experience the natural splendor of the Adirondack Park Preserve,” state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos said in a statement. “DEC is proud to continue to partner with the Open Space Institute to conserve New York’s natural beauty for future generations.” Moriah Superintendent Tom Scozzafava said the town

The Tub Mill Pond parcel boasts scenic lakes, forests and mountains. “took the pulse of the community” through public meetings, and received a favorable response. “During my 30-year career, more and more people have favored protecting land so residents and visitors can get outdoors and enjoy nature on a more frequent basis,” Scozzafava said, noting it boasts a “breathtaking landscape.” The tract will be of benefit to local residents, but also fits in with the state’s plan to draw tourists to the region through the planned makeover of the old Frontier Town on the Northway’s Exit 29. According to OSI, the high water quality of the lakes and ponds on the property make the destination a prime location for fishing. Tub Mill Pond hosts a variety of aquatic wildlife including rainbow trout and brown bullhead. Several islands are located

within Tub Mill Pond, making it desirable for kayaking. According to a news release, the tract is “extremely scenic, offering views of the mountains, unbroken forests shoreline, and granite rock outcroppings near the water’s edge.” “The Open Space Institute is delighted to have protected this forested Adirondack property, rich with spectacular waterfront vistas and opportunities for fishing, kayaking, boating, and hiking,” said Kim Elliman, president and CEO of OSI. OSI has committed more than $23.5 million to the Adirondacks area over a span of 25 years, protecting more than 31,000 acres of land, including the protection of the historic Tahawus property, the Village of Adirondac, and the Split Rock Wildway wildlife corridor, and the addition of the Finch Pruyn Lands and Trembleau Mountain to the Adirondack Forest Preserve. ■

Chiefs named co-grand marshals Labor Day Parade will honor those who saved Port Henry commercial district. By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER

PORT HENRY | This spring a fire destroyed one of Port Henry’s historic, downtown commercial buildings. But it could have been a lot worse. Without the heroic efforts of firefighters, the blaze easily could have consumed

the entire block, which would have been devastating to the future of the downtown. With that in mind, the Moriah Chamber of Commerce has named the town’s three district fire chiefs — Adam Wright, Jim Hughes and Brian Glebus — as grand marshals in its annual Labor Day Parade. Events coordinator Catherine Sprague said it wasn’t the chamber’s decision alone. The organization solicits nominations from the public, which also wanted to honor the firefighters. “Most of the calls we got in here were for the chiefs,” Sprague said. “The community picked them, it wasn’t just the chamber.” In a town that largely owes its existence to the workers in the old iron mines through much of the past century, Labor Day has a

rich tradition, and this will the 129th annual Labor Day celebration. Dating back to the 1800s, the town skipped a parade only once in the late 1990s, Sprague said. Along with floats, the parade will have bands, antique cars, fire trucks and community groups. The parade is still open to those who want to enter a float. Those interested in participating should contact the chamber at 518-250-1050. The schedule for the Labor Day weekend is as follows: Saturday, Sept. 1 11 a.m. — Annual Port Henry Regatta at the Port Henry Marina. 4 p.m. — Mutton Hollow Parade. 7 p.m. — Music at Port Henry Beach.

Drought, rabies, algae — Moriah officials wonder what’s next

Town experiences string of oddities By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER

PORT HENRY | As pestilence goes, the calamities experienced by the Town of Moriah this month might not quite be of biblical proportions, but they’re bad enough that town officials are nervously wondering what might be coming next. Even after getting some much-needed rain last week the town still has one eye on the forecast and one eye on the water intake on Bartlett Pond, where 2,000 town residents get their drinking water. The pond level has dropped dangerously close to the point where the town would have to reroute water from a higher pond to keep the water from dropping below the intake. As this was playing out, three suspected rabid animals attacked people and pets in separate incidents in the Witherbee area in mid-July. Long-time animal control agents said they’d never heard of such a thing. And if this wasn’t enough, officials were forced to close two local beaches last weekend due to a potentially harmful algae bloom brought on by the exceedingly warm temperatures. “There’s never a dull moment in Moriah,” said Town Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. “This is like it’s raining locusts.” Scozzafava said he hopes things will be getting back to normal, whatever that is, in the near future. The algae, for one, is unpredictable. “It could be gone tomorrow,” depending on wind and water conditions, he said. The algae has been an increasing problem in Lake Champlain, and the relatively shallow and protected bay in Port Henry is particularly susceptible — so much so that the state is paying for a study of the local watershed to identify potential sources of nutrients that, along with a warming

Port Henry Beach was closed after the hot weather led to an algae bloom. planet, are suspected of being the main culprits. The blooms can be an irritant to humans, but have been known to be fatal to dogs. “This has become an annual thing, and it’s something we can’t control,” Scozzafava said. “The beaches are underutilized, but people do go there to swim and take their children.” If the algae is becoming par for the course, one rabid animal is considered a relative rarity, much less three. “Never in my life have I experienced anything like this,” said Ed Roberts, who serves as the town’s animal control officer. “This is just a freaky thing.” Two weeks ago, a suspected rabid racoon entered a home through a pet door and attacked the residents. Several days later, a red and gray wolf were reported to have attacked pets and a family on Powerhouse Road. One fox jumped through the window of a home owned by Sam Gangi of Witherbee, and then jumped back out when the family members smacked it with a chair. No one in the home

was hurt, but two other individuals on the street, an adult and a child, were bitten and are receiving treatment, officials said. Local officials, police and state conservation officers from as far away as Fulton County patrolled the neighborhood looking for rabid creatures the week before last, to no avail. Roberts said the diseased animals are almost certainly dead by now. “When they act very aggressive they stop eating and are on their last legs,” Roberts said. On the drought front, things are a bit brighter. Scozzafava said voluntary water restrictions have been working. “There’s been a significant drop in usage,” he said. “Our hats are off to our constituents for conserving. A little water is better than no water at all.” Chip Perry, water and wastewater superintendent for the town, said it’s probably drier now than it’s been since the early 2000s. Thunderstorms help, he said, but what the town needs is a good, soaking rain. ■

Adirondack photographer subject of new book Chapman Historical Museum shines light on Seneca Ray Stoddard By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

GLENS FALLS | When Seneca Ray Stoddard took photographs in the Adirondacks, the process was more thoughtout than to simply point and shoot. Stoddard worked at a time when the equipment was primitive and cumbersome. Yet the photographer, who died in 1917, used his sense of artistry and trial-and-error methodology to learn and develop his craft. Stoddard’s artwork is the subject of a new book titled, “Water and Light: S.R. Stoddard’s Lake George,” published by the Chapman Historical Museum in Glens Falls. The book is mainly a pictorial publication, with essay material by Joseph Cutshall-King, former director of the Chapman museum. Cutshall-King and Timothy Weidner, the museum’s current executive director, said there are a lot of obvious examples of Stoddard’s trials and errors in a collection of his work the museum owns, which he marked with a red “X” or the word “No.” Weidner said Stoddard’s work shows he was very conscious of his subject, the photos carefully studied in terms of composition. “Some of the same principles he used apply to photography in today’s market,” Weidner said. Cutshall-King said many of Stoddard’s photographs exhibit a balance, such as his placement of the horizon in the center of the photo, and disbursed light, which is characteristic of the Luminist Movement (1850-1875). Stoddard became skilled at combining negatives; such as using the sky from one negative and combining it with the foreground of another. He also experimented with exposure times and f lash photography. “He was very skilled at taking all the ingredients of a good photo and bringing them all together,” Weidner said. The Chapman Historical Museum was able to bring together 150 of Stoddard’s images of Lake George, which Stoddard called the “Queen of Lakes.” The museum actually acquired a large collection of Stoddard’s work, including photographs, photo plates, sketches, oil paintings and Stoddard’s own guidebook. In 1977, when Cutshall-King was the Chapman’s director, the museum received a phone call from someone offering to I

sell a large Stoddard collection to the museum. The caller was Maitland DeSormo, and he loved Stoddard’s work; so much so that he bought the collection from some of Stoddard’s living relatives in the 1960s. Weidner said Ernestine Stoddard and her mother “did the greatest favor to photographic art in America of anyone,” by hanging-on to Stoddard’s work. “Stoddard is considered an equal of the greats,” Weidner said. Cutshall-King said he knew the offer of the collection was huge, and he called then museum board of directors president Dr. Richard Merrill, and together they visited DeSormo’s house to see the collection. Upon seeing Stoddard’s work, Merrill had to contain his excitement, but later convinced the board to purchase the collection for $22,000, which was a tremendous amount. Considered the photographer of record for the Adirondacks, Stoddard was both a commercial photographer and a fine artist. He photographed many natural elements in the Adirondacks, as well as photographing the people, includ-

ing staff at hotels and workers in logging camps. Weidner and Cutshall-King believe Stoddard was comfortable moving in very different circles of society. Stoddard worked as a commercial photographer for about 20 years, but also became a publisher, using some of his images in his work. In later years he became a lecturer, visiting other countries and, as was the custom in his day, giving lectures on his travels when he returned home. Weidner said for Stoddard’s many talents, his real genius was photography, yet he is still relatively unknown, even in the area where he did most of his work. “The average person wouldn’t know anything about him,” Weidner said. Cutshall-King, Weidner and the Chapman Historical Museum are hoping that will change with the release of their new book. “Water and Light: S.R.

‘Logjammers’ to be featured at North Creek event series Guitar maker builds band of local musicians

Shown are some of the guitars Eric Bright makes and sells through his Bass Rock Studio. Bright’s guitars generally sell for between $4,000 and $6,000.

By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

SCHROON LAKE | Eric Bright is someone who not only plays guitar, but he makes them out of logs found in places such as Schroon Lake and the Hudson River. When Bright wanted to start a band, he likewise found local resources to “make” a band. A year or two ago, Bright linked up with George Parrott and Blair Sutherland, both known local musicians. Parrott brings exceptional guitar skills to the mix, playing both electric and acoustic guitar. Sutherland plays electric and upright bass, and is the band’s sound technician. “I sing and play guitar,” Bright said. Collectively, the group is known as the “Logjammers,” which Bright said is probably why some people call them. The group was tapped for the Adirondack Shindig in Adirondack, and will be playing at “Local. Logging. Live!” scheduled for Aug. 24-25 in North Creek. The Logjammers will play on Saturday, Aug. 24, at Riverfront Park in North Creek.

THE BOYS IN THE BAND

Bright is a retired special education teacher and teacher trainer, who worked as a consultant for the last 17 years. Parrott is also a retired teacher who moved here from Miami. He can be seen playing on his own locally, including occasional stops at Witherbee’s open mic. Sutherland is from Utah who has a sound engineering background. All three decided to make their home in the Adirondacks. Bright said the Logjammers have 16 to 20 original songs, which he wrote. “I write the songs - they make me sound good,” Bright said, referring to his band mates. Bright said if he doesn’t know exactly how a song should go it doesn’t matter. “They are such good musicians they can adapt,” he said. Bright is, naturally, always adding to the song list, which does include some coves. Asked about the song writing process, Bright said he said it could start with just a word or two, and he goes with whatever he believes creates an emotional effect. He said he is working on lyrics all the time, writing down things that mean something to him. He is currently working on a new, original song for Local Logging Live!

USING FOUND WOOD

Bright, who has a home on the east side of Schroon Lake and a studio on the west side, travels back and forth by boat. He will scan the lake in an attempt to locate sunken spruce logs that are remnants from past logging days. He will often find trees with logging company marks stamped into the ends. Be underwater for years allows the resin to leach out of the logs.

Eric Bright, one of the founding members of a band called ‘Logjammers,’ makes guitars from found logs. Shown with one of his creations, Bright will be joining George Parrott and Blair Sutherland as the trio plays ‘Local. Logging. Live!” in North Creek, Aug. 24. Finding logs is not just an inexpensive way to get materials. Bright said a lot of expert luthiers (makers of stringed instruments) say red spruce makes the best guitar tops. He said there are other areas of the country where red spruce grows, but all his wood is locally sourced. He even has an arrangement with a friend who saws the logs into roughly quarter-inch think slabs, which will ultimately be about one-tenth of an inch think when finished. Any inlay work, which he does using burl or mother of pearl, is laid in at half that thickness. Bright’s guitars are playable pieces of art that need to be treated with care. At a cost of between $4,000 and $6,000 each, they are generally purchased by those who have an appreciation for

CONGRATULATIONS! Ellee B.

Shown is a close up of one of Eric Bright’s handmade guitars. Along with the spruce tops, Bright will inlay his guitars with mother of pearl or something like cherry wood burl, saying he likes the natural, irregular shape, which is also seen in the guitar’s bridge. a fine instrument, and who are generally dedicated musicians. Bright loves making guitars, but he also gets satisfaction from knowing his guitars will end up in the hands of talented musicians. “The only reason I sell them is because good players are buying them,” he said. Bright’s work can be seen at bassrock.org.

LOGGERS WANTED

Daphne Taylor, Tannery Pond Center managing director, is looking for of a few more loggers to drive their rigs and equipment in the “Local. Logging. Live!” parade, Aug. 24, and to be part of the “touch a truck” activity following the parade. Loggers and other groups interested in joining the Loggers Parade or contributing in any way are encouraged to call Taylor at 518-251-2505.

Award-winning children’s book author reads in Schroon Linda Marshall takes part in Wednesday storytime program By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

SCHROON LAKE | Linda Marshall, a children’s book author whose book “Mommy, Baby and Me” was recently named the 2017 Best Children’s Book of the Year by the Adirondack Center for Writing, visited the Schroon Lake Public Library last week to read to children. Marshall is the author of 12 published children’s books, including “The Passover Lamb,” a Sydney Taylor Awards 2014 Notable Book. Marshall, who lives in Albany County, was invited to speak at the library’s Wednesday storytime. Library aide and storytime program coordinator Stephanie Corliss said Marshall stopped in the library one day to donate one of her children’s books, and she asked Marshall to read to the children. “She said she would love to,” Corliss said. Not surprisingly, Marshall loves her new book and loves writing children’s books, but she didn’t start out as a children’s author. Originally from Boston, Marshall started her academic career in anthropology, completing most of a doctorate degree.

She has taught all grade levels, including adults, as well as teaching English to speakers of other languages. She has raised sheep, and even operated bookstores in Albany and Saratoga, which might have given her inspiration to write her own books. “I always wanted to be a writer, but I thought I had nothing to say,” Marshall said. On the other hand, Marshall engaged in freelance writing, has written book reviews,

and had a book of her own poetry published. She also wrote a 250-word blurb for the ACT college entrance exam. About 10 years ago, Marshall published her first children’s book, ”Talia and the Rude Vegetables.” A little girl, Talia, is asked by her grandmother to go out to the garden and pick some root vegetables, but Talia thinks her grandmother said “rude” vegetables. Her thoughts about what could possibly make a vegetable

Kahn, Green Party candidate seeking congress seat, awaits her chance Kahn aims to defeat Stefanik in midterms By Pete DeMola EDITOR

SCHROON LAKE | Dr. Lynn Kahn bustled around her home as uncertain skies threatened rain, moving books around, shuffling policy papers and mindful of the quiche burbling away in the oven. The organizational psychologist, the Green Party candidate for New York’s 21st Congressional District, had returned from Pennsylvania the day before, where she attended a summit designed to probe solutions for the problems facing family farms. Kahn winnowed her agricultural policy prescriptions down to a three-point platform: Allocating government emergency funds for farmer relief; holding state and federal hearings to craft solutions, and implementing economic development plans.

The trip produced the latest draft, the 11th, in a living document updated with each successive input from stakeholders — including people like Lorraine Lewandrowski, a Herkimer County dairy farmer and attorney who counts a sizable Twitter following under the handle @NYFarmer. Kahn bended Lewandrowski’s ear over lunch earlier this month. “This is my style,” Kahn said. “This is my way of doing things.” It’s a collective approach that Kahn, a clinical psychologist who spent 22 years working with federal aviation authorities, said she has utilized to help tame sprawling government bureaucracies.

NOT ON THE SIDELINES

is only beginning to ramp up her operation. The candidate didn’t mention President Trump during a two-hour interview, nor her two opponents aside from a handful of oblique references. Kahn bristled against the perception that she’s on the sidelines as the two campaigns snipe at each other. “I think it’s a distraction from solving real problems,” Kahn said. “The hardcore supporters of those two women get too caught up in it, and everybody else is too tired from working way too many jobs to go to useless meetings and don’t care.” » Kahn Cont. on pg. 18

It’s been four weeks since the conclusion of the Democratic primary contest that saw Tedra Cobb beat out four candidates to clinch the nomination to run against the incumbent, Rep. Elise Stefanik. Since then, the Stefanik and Cobb campaigns have been locked in combat as each candidate tours the district and hits the county fair circuit in an attempt to draw contrasts for voters. Kahn maintains she is building her campaign team and

Essex County-wide EMS nets $6.5 million start Funds will go towards proposed shared district By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

TICONDEROGA | It appears New York State is prepared to fund a proposed $6.5 million county-wide shared emergency medical services (EMS) program in Essex County. Chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors Randy Preston announced Monday he received word of grant approval from the governor’s office. “We’ve been awarded $6.5 million for the EMS program,” Preston told lawmakers. Grant funding for a five-year term would come from the state’s Municipal Restructuring Fund in increments. It would build a shared service aimed at hastening EMS response times in Essex County, filling significant gaps in a dispersed, widespread population that expands to twice or three times its size in summer. The challenge, it appears, is how to sustain this over the cycle of increasing and decreasing need across mountains as people come and go.

START-UP

Community Services Office. County EMS planners created sectors to address need, in sequence, from critical to supporting role. Cost analysis was measured by ambulance call volume, Bashaw said. Initial spending would add AEDs (automated external defibrillators) and First Responder Bags for some areas, Bashaw told supervisors in June. “So we have additional capability to respond.” Medic cars, often referred to as “fly cars,” would be purchased, one for each sector “to enhance the capability to respond where the ambulances are not able to respond,” Bashaw told the supervisors. Medic cars would also support EMS logistics for large-scale community events, such as Ironman, sporting events or touring road races. Start-up investment in the county-wide system would include staffing, Bashaw said, adding advanced EMT and paramedic personnel for the cars and a dedicated medical director for the county system.

PRIORITY: PATIENT CARE

Asked Monday if the system as proposed is ready for financing, Bashaw said it is. “We do have a good plan set up. What it will highly depend on is what folks in the towns need or want. Those that feel that they need the service and where we are currently dropping calls are areas where we are going to focus first,” Bashaw told The Sun in an interview. “In the end, I believe this will be beneficial to the whole county.” Supervisors and the county manager determine how towns opt out of any taxation district, she said. “As much as we can, we need to keep the volunteers engaged, but there are some agencies that are clearly struggling. People are waiting long amounts of time to get their call covered, often through mutual aid.” The first priority, Bashaw said, is patient care. “Patient care has got to be number one. And the patient cannot be waiting for mutual aid to come from another town. We keep getting more and larger activities coming to this area, and many tourism organizations are working hard to bring these activities here. A solid EMS program is part of that,” she said. ■

Based on research study and planning over two years, the program would first bolster emergency medical services in areas where gaps exist in ambulance or emergency medical response, sectors where calls are dropped, triggering mutual aid and elongated wait time. It also responds by adding paid positions county-wide to address a critical shortage of volunteer responders, a situation exacerbated in part by time constraints for training in a small population base and extensive training requirements. “We are going to have to hire people and purchase at least four fly cars,” Preston said. “That (grant) is going to go a long way toward getting this project up and running.” But a law enabling county tax collection to sustain is not in place. A key piece of state legislation that would allow a taxation district to sustain the service did not make it through both houses in Albany. In late June, the taxation measure met with approval in the state Senate but did not get through the AssemAsk About Our bly before the session ended. It does not leave the system disabled.

SECTORS

The move to add a county-wide EMS response overlay in Essex County has hurdles, like mountains and miles, to cross. The disparity in total town property assessment ranges in Essex County from resort areas, like North Elba, where county taxable assessments top $2.2 billion, to smaller towns with a large percentage of state-owned forest lands, like North Hudson, where the county taxable assessment totals $144.6 million, according to 2018 final assessment rolls. Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally asked whether such disparities would cause unequal distribution of services. “It’s geography. I think if you’re going to have a countywide system, it has to reach the entire county,” he told The Sun in an interview on Tuesday. Minerva sits at the county’s southern border. Their EMS response, in fact, is dispatched by Warren County. “We are eight miles from the Johnsburg rescue squad, which is a paid service,” McNally said. “When you call 911 in Minerva, it goes to Essex County, but automatically gets transferred to Warren County. We’re 30 miles from the Warren County dispatch center and 50 miles from Essex County’s. And people here are taken to Glens Falls Hospital. We’ve been on that program for 30 years.” Having one fly car in a sector run between Newcomb, Schroon Lake and Minerva doesn’t guarantee improvement in Minerva’s EMS response system, he said, questioning the cost if any county tax is levied. “The three towns are 20 to 25 minutes apart. If the fly car is in Newcomb when its called, we could have North Warren here in less time. I can see where towns that

are close together could consolidate the rescue squads and share services,” he said. But how do you span 50 miles without losing response time? “A lot of the larger communities have paid EMS staff, so my concern is that if we’re going to pay additional taxes to the county, we need to get quality services. “Then if you get six or seven towns that opt out, it could leave this program in trouble. It needs work going forward,” he said. As for lagging state legislation, “I don’t believe we’ll have a problem getting the taxing district approved,” McNally said. “And the grant could be used to implement some of the plan moving forward. But we have to have coverage benefits for everybody in the county, at a cost the same or less than what we can do with an individual town budget.” “The situation is very different in towns like Minerva, Newcomb, Schroon Lake and North Hudson. I can’t speak for those towns, but for us, a new county tax might not have any benefit.” Other towns with existing paid services are already looking for ways to stay out of the county-wide system. Supervisors Gerry Morrow of Chesterfield and Archie Depo of Jay have said their town taxpayers fund and maintain excellent ambulance companies. Both Chesterfield and Jay border Clinton County and have mutual aid agreements in more widely populated areas. Adding a county-wide overlay for advanced medical support for towns that double or triple in size from summer through fall may gain support from areas with a large second-home population. “They are still working on a plan. I am going to be open minded about it,” McNally said. ■

The average person — veteran, farmer, parent, grandparent — is focused on survival, Kahn said. Kahn appeared to be most animated when discussing core campaign issues like better treatment of veterans — she rolled out an endorsement from a Las Vegas-group called Veterans in Politics International last week — and curbing abuses in the national foster

care system, which she called “mean-spirited.” While the nation is fixated on the crisis at the southern border, problems in the foster care system are “80 percent” comparable when it comes to inducing mental trauma in children, she said. “About 95 percent of the time when state agencies take children away from families, the accusations turn out to be false or unsubstantiated,” Kahn wrote in an article for Democracy Chronicles, where she is a contributor.

NCCC class takes aim at EMT shortage Malone, Saranac Lake, Ticonderoga campuses get emergency medical training

TICONDEROGA | North Country Community College (NCCC) will offer EMT training in Malone, Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga this fall. The college has worked in cooperation with the Mountain Lakes EMS Council to create an EMT training program in response to the Essex County Board of Supervisors, who have been concerned about a shortage in the number of emergency medical service workers in the region. Twenty students enrolled in NCCC’s spring EMT class in Saranac Lake, including both traditional college-age students and non-traditional adults who live in the Tri-Lakes region. After completing their course requirements, they took the state EMT certification exam, recording a 94 percent pass rate, well above the state average rate of 82 percent. The students who took the college’s first EMT class are all now working as volunteers or paid emergency medical professionals with local ambulance squads and emergency service agencies in the Tri-Lakes, according to Assistant Dean for Institutional Research Scott Harwood, who taught the college’s EMT course and serves as Franklin County’s EMS coordinator. “Even though it’s one class, adding 20 trained staff to our community EMS providers is a big gain for them,” Harwood said. “Many people in the region’s EMS community are aging out and retiring. “If each agency can pick up a couple more volunteers or paid staff from every class we offer, that will help answer the need for EMS

professionals that both Essex and Franklin counties are experiencing.” Julie Harjung, president of the Saranac Lake Volunteer Rescue Squad, said her agency is facing a critical staffing shortage. “We are actively trying to hire and have been for about year,” she said. “We need advanced life support providers, and you can’t be an advanced life support provider until you get the basic part done. And we’re not alone. This is happening all across the North Country, the state, and I would say the country — a lack of EMS providers.” Students in the college’s EMT program are trained to handle, on their own or as part

of a team, any emergency medical situation. The program includes 220 hours of coursework covering topics such as patient assessment, resuscitation, pharmacology, trauma and EMS operations. “Becoming an EMT is a great way to help your neighbors and your community as a volunteer,” Harwood said. “The other side is employment. A lot of people start as volunteers and become paid employees. There’s a growing need for both volunteers and paid EMS professionals in the region. At any given time there are 6 to 8 paid positions open in Essex and Franklin counties.” “I was really happy to hear that Scott was

able to get the college involved with providing an annual class,” Harjung said. “We’ve already gained six EMTs from this last class as volunteers. Once they’ve proven they can handle themselves, than we can look at hiring one or more of them as paid staff.” Registration is open now for the fall EMT classes in Malone, Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga, with course schedules and information available online at nccc.edu/ems. Many of the classes are taught on weekday evenings to accommodate those who work during the day. For additional information on the college’s EMT training program, email sharwood@ nccc.edu or call 518-354-5153. ■
