Port Henry village hikes some pay rates The code officer and building cleaner got raises to $20 an hour By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
PORT HENRY – The last Port Henry Village Board meeting was a great time to give out raises to $20 a hour. Village Code Enforcement Officer William Ball and building cleaner Kellie Valentine both got them.
Valentine started the broom sweeping by writing a letter asking for an increase from $10 an hour to $20. She works three hours a month in the summer, and five in the winter. The board noted she does an excellent job and voted unanimously to grant the raise. Trustees said the dollar amount of the increase will be minimal, because she works so few hours. That irked Ball, who said he’s been asking for a raise for three years. “You know what I want,” said Ball, who was
at the meeting to report on building permits he’d issued for the month. “If you pay a cleaning lady $20 (an hour), I want $20.” So he got a raise, too. The board voted unanimously to increase Ball’s pay to $20 an hour. Mayor Ernest Guerin said $15 an hour was budgeted for the code officer, but Ball hadn’t drawn his wages in protest because he believed they were too low. “For three years, he’s done it free, gratis,” Guerin said. Ball is employed as a full-time code officer
for the Town of Ticonderoga, and does the village work part-time. He agreed to check on an allegedly rundown property at 43 Brook St., which is believed to be in bank foreclosure. Ball said he’d cite the bank claiming ownership if the situation warrants it, but that many times banks will not sign for such letters. The bank may be located in a distant state, so personal service of a property maintenance complaint is not possible, he said. He said he’ll check on ownership of 43 Brook St.

TICONDEROGA – With wheels spinning, they arrived in pairs, in groups, and singly last weekend as the Cycle Adirondacks weeklong bike ride came to Ticonderoga. More than 300 cyclists converged on Percy Thompson Bicentennial Park for a day of camaraderie, musical entertainment, food, and camping. A sea of tents stretched across the park, with service tents on all sides providing information, food, and even charging of electronic devices. The tour was sponsored by the Wilderness Conservation Society as a means of introducing the Adirondack Park to people from out of the re-
gion and the state. Cycle Adirondacks spokesman Doug Hanley said they were encouraging riders to visit Fort Ticonderoga, the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour and other at-
tractions in town. “Day two has been awesome,” he said. “You’re rewarded by riders’ smiles when they’re having fun, and >> See CYCLE | pg. 3

Ti’s Black Watch Library moves toward digital Library isn’t just full of books anymore By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA – Ticonderoga’s Black Watch Memorial Library has gone though lots of changes since it was founded in 1905. Most of them have come in the last few years with digital media and ebooks challenging traditional printed tomes. Senior Library Clerk Heather Johns has seen a lot that’s different in the 11 years she’s been with the library. “We’ve changed a lot over the last few years,” she said. “People are coming in now to use our computers, wi-fi, DVDs.” Johns said they offer many different types of programs at the library. “We have craft meets, Weight Watchers, tai chi. We’re doing more. People are coming in to see what we have to offer. It’s
helping our (book) circulation.” A professor who composes her own music is coming in to perform some of it at the library. “We’re glad to offer it to the public,” Johns said. “Most of what we offer here is free.” They offer children’s programs for all ages, she said, from pre-school to elementary, to tweens. “Kids enjoy having their own reading corner,” Johns said. “We’re wrapping up our summer reading. They fill out a reading log. They’ll get prizes at the end.” They have about 10 kids in each group, for five weeks of reading programs. The library isn’t neglecting its book collections, either. “We add new titles constantly,” Johns said. “We also offer ebooks for the Kindle, the iPad and other readers. They log on to a website with their library card to get ebooks. “It’s newer, but people are getting into it.” The library’s card catalog is now accessible on a computer database. “When I started, we were all on paper,” Johns said. “We automated all our records at some point. It was well worth it. It’s saved us a lot of time and we can focus on other things.” The library underwent an expansion several years ago, and doubled its size with an addition. “We’ve expanded to a larger library,” she said. “We’re handicap accessible, so people with disabilities can get in and access our collection.” Besides Johns, who’s full-time, the library employs two part-time staff members and has seven volunteers who help out. The Black Watch Memorial Library is owned and funded by the Town of Ticonderoga. American Industrialist Andrew Carnegie, who had been funding public libraries throughout the USA, gave the library building to Ticonderoga as a memorial to the famous Scottish Black Watch Regiment. Black Watch Library Senior Clerk Heather Johns checks books on the shelves at the Ticonderoga institution. The library is adapting with the times, utilizing more digital media and expanding its programs. Photo by Lohr McKinstry

every one of the riders into Ticonderoga had a smile on their face. “What could be better than riding into historic Ticonderoga?” The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce served as the community coordinator, and the town was of great assistance in a variety of ways, chamber Executive Director Matthew Courtright said. Cyclist Virginia Beach of Charleston, S.C., who arrived with her daughter, Nellie, said they were both having a great time. “It’s beautiful here,” Virginia Beach said. “I’ve never been to the Adirondacks. I had to stop and look at everything. “We think the world of the Wilderness Conservation Society and the welcome we’ve been given here.” The Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism also supported the tour, and spokeswoman Kim Rielly said it was an outstanding event. “It’s great potential experience in the Adirondacks to an active demographic (cyclists),” she said. “The product we have here is a great cycling experience.” Rider Jesse Fink of Connecticut, and his son, Drew, of Boston, were pitching their tent in the park in advance of approaching dark clouds. “We like Ticonderoga,” Jesse Fink said. “We love it here. We’re might go to the fort later, and maybe the Star Trek set tour.” Cycle Adirondacks started in Lake Luzerne, and was headed for Keeseville after Ticonderoga. The weeklong event, now in its second year, stopped in several communities. ON THE COVER: Riders arrive at Bicentennial Park for the Cycle Adirondacks event. Photo by Lohr McKinstry

Historic church tour coming soon to Ticonderoga The Ticonderoga Festival Guild will take people on a historic tour By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA – The Ticonderoga Festival Guild is planning a tour of several historical area churches and chapels next month. The Tour of Churches event is from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11, starting at the Church of the Cross in Ticonderoga. Festival Guild Executive Director Judy Walker said the area has some beautiful, historic churches. “When I drive along our roads, I am often struck by beautiful old church buildings, and I wonder what they are like inside, when they were built, what is their history,” she said. “This tour gives people a chance to explore such buildings inside and out, to see their unique features, and hear about their story. “All churches selected are over 100 years old, some with old cemeteries attached. Each church or chapel gives us a glimpse of the people who settled and built our towns. We hope people will be interested in taking this guided trip through history.” Tickets for the tour are $20 and are available at Libby’s Bakery Café, the Ticonderoga Food Co-Op, or by calling 585-3203. Walker said the tour will explore the history, architecture and features of each church. “The churches selected range from simple Shaker or Puritan buildings, a rustic old log church, lovely stone churches and chapels as well as a church built in the formal Anglican design,” she said. “The insides of the churches can be very simple or quite ornate but all are lovely in their own way.” Tour guides and tour information will be available at each church. Since churches in Crown Point, Ticonderoga, Putnam, Hague and Silver Bay are on the tour, people are free to choose to visit some or all during tour, and tour the old church with its magnificent stained glass windows and antique pipe organ. From there tour participants may go in any direction to see the other churches and chapels. Funds raised from this event will go to the Ticonderoga Festival Guild, as well as the Ticonderoga Area Clergy Association. The Festival Guild brings free children’s and adult performing arts programs to Ticonderoga while the Ticonderoga Area Clergy Association addresses immediate local needs, such as heating bills, not easily handled by the Essex County Department of Social Services. Both the guild and clergy organizations serve the community, Walker noted. The Church of the Cross in Ticonderoga is where the Ticondeoga Festival Guild’s Tour of Churches will begin.

Historic Ticonderoga Community Building needs repairs Building will be renovated By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA – The historic Ticonderoga Community Building will get some much-needed repairs when a new project begins. The Town Council recently voted to use $250,000 from its dedicated Building Improvement Fund to get started. The first step is to go to bid for the work based on the engineering firm AES Northeast’s specifications. The work will include masonry repairs, insulation, and sealing, Ticonderoga Town Supervisor Joseph Giordano said. “The Community Building is 90 years old next year, 2017,” he said. “We’re trying to take
care of what needs to be taken care of.” The building was a gift to the community from local benefactor Horace Moses in 1927. The State and Municipal Facilities Program will handle the logistics of the Community Building capital renovation project. “It’s pretty straightforward as to what it needs,” Giordano said. He said the town owns two other structures, the Police Station on Burgoyne Road, and the Town Highway Department Garage on Racetrack Road, that are in terrible shape. They will also be the subject of renovation projects, he said. “Those are crumbling,” the supervisor said. The town had been seeking other locations for the Police Station, which was once the Ticonderoga Village Department of Public Works shed, before the village dissolved in 1994.

As summer fades
s another summer draws to an end and the days grow shorter, we try to squeeze in those summer time activities before the season changes and before we know it, we’ll find ourselves anxiously awaiting summer 2017, as we slip and chip away at the coming winter’s weather. Summer is kick back time sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. Sandwiched between family reunions, picnics, trips to the ball park and popular swimming holes and in general trying to slow down in the pace of everyday life, we should try to just soak up the opportunity to just enjoy life. I guess I’m just an old timer who remembers the days gone past and sees the issues facing the American family in a connected world that just can’t seem to be dialed in. As we pass through these changing times, it’s easy to find fault with the world today and complain about what we don’t agree with rather than appreciating what we do have. The birth of a child, a christening, a child’s birthday party, or even a child’s sporting event; these are the events that define life and defy the ages. What parent, grandparent, relative or close family friend doesn’t share the same joy today that their counterparts enjoyed at any time in the past watching our young ones grow and remembering our own youthful days? Current events will always have an impact on how the pace of life changes through the ages, but priorities are frequently self imposed. We must take stock in how we choose to live and the value we place on time, which is ever so fleeting. The calendar pages fly off the wall, or in most cases these days, off the computer screen or mobile phone as we work harder to stay focused on just keeping up. It’s easy to get so caught up in all the new technology, the massive amounts of information we have streaming into our homes and the constant demands on our time. Putting down the phone and replacing it with a neighborly visit over the fence, taking a family trip or volunteering for a charity requires nothing more than making a simple choice and sticking with it. The solution is to keep your priorities grounded, sharing time with those you love and respect, while being considerate of those who do not think like you. They are entitled to their thoughts, choices and beliefs, just as much as you are to yours. Don’t let the highly contagious political fever spoil the joys of summer. There will be plenty of time to reengage with that mess when it counts the most, during the debates and on election day. Enjoy these last fleeting days of summer. The world with all its ups and downs, scandals and threats will still be out there when fall returns. Summers are special and each summer should be filled with unique memories that last a lifetime.

Want a pay raise? Earn it! S
tate legislators are primed to receive a 47 percent pay raise this fall. A state-appointed panel has been weighing the boost this year for the legislature, who haven’t received an increase since 1999. Lawmakers receive a base pay of $79,500, a number that increases based on leadership positions. The increase would bring everyone to $116,900. The seven-person panel’s recommendations, due by Nov. 15, would automatically become law unless legislators vote against the bump, which also includes other state officials, including the comptroller and attorney general. This seems a bit extravagant. Lawmakers are overdue for an increase, sure, but a straight shot of 47 percent is pushing it. Imagine asking your boss for a 47 percent raise. And imagine doing so without tying it to a pretty rigorous job performance evaluation. Any future hikes should be based on merit — like meaningful ethics reform, for instance. Yes, the legislature did vote earlier this year to strip legislators convicted of corruption of their taxpayer-funded pensions earned during public service. But those reforms can be deepened to further discourage abuse. The law doesn’t extend to state workers, which means people like prison seamstress Joyce Mitchell and the former Warren County IT worker who got nabbed
for pilfering laptops from the state last month will still be eligible to cash out. The legislature should also set a cap on outside income, which for many lawmakers, often poses an unsavory dalliance with the dark side. We’d also like to see the part-time body transition to a full-time schedule. The reasoning is simple: Lawmakers should hold themselves to the same standards as the people they represent. For the working class people of the economically-depressed North Country, this might include an annual 3 percent pay raise. But a retroactive boost is ridiculous, especially considering their gold-plated health insurance packages. We like our representatives, so this is not a referendum on their performance, but rather of the body as a whole. With the corruption scandals that have roiled the state; the last-minute flurry of legislation this past June and watered-down ethics reform packages, there’s not a lot to love about the way our state government is functioning right now. We certainly shouldn’t be rewarding them with such a significant raise. The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau, Pete DeMola and Keith Lobdell. We want to hear from you. Drop us a line on our Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter, to share your thoughts.

10thÊ AnnualÊ ALSÊ FundraiserÊ aÊ greatÊ success To the Editor: In June of 2006, the Mountain Riders Motorcycle Club hosted their first Annual ALS Motorcycle Rally & Ride. The fundraiser was in honor of Au Sable Forks native, Johnny Nixon, who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease but succumb to his illness in 2007. Ten years later, the Mountain Riders, M.C. has financially assisted numerous area residents diagnosed with ALS, maintaining our mission statement in hosting the first and only annual ALS fundraiser in the North Country Region to disburse 100 percent of the proceeds generated to those affected by this terrible disease. On behalf of the Club members, we wish to thank local motorcycle clubs, non-members, North Country businesses, community members, media outlets and organizations for their years of commitment and generosity extended through donations and sponsorships. We further wish to extend much thanks and appreciation to the families of the men and women diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease for their continued support toward the annual fundraiser. The Club is grateful to the Au Sable Forks Knights of Columbus Council for generously donating a handcrafted Adirondack-themed bench (built by Knight Member and local artisan Ted Holzer) in honor of Sister Yvonne Teresa Cusson, who was diagnosed with ALS and was this year’s recipient. We always welcome Troop B to participate in memory of retired New York state police investigators John Dwyer and Larry Bliss, who sadly passed away several years ago to Lou Gehrig’s Disease. This year, we wish to extend our
A
thanks and appreciation to Officer McCormick for his maintaining traffic safety as the bikers departed Main Street. In marking the 10th year of the Annual ALS Fundraiser, it was truly an honor to have NYS Assemblywoman, Janet Duprey (R-Peru), as our guest speaker. The Assemblywoman is aware of the increase and concern of Lou Gehrig’s in the North Country Region and supports all advocacy and fund raising efforts hosted throughout the year. In conclusion, we thank everyone for the 10 years of support and commitment in raising thousands of dollars and continued awareness. Kevin Cobb and Craig SantaMaria Au Sable Forks
TrumpÊ aÊ Ô wolf Ê inÊ sheepÕ sÊ clothingÕÊ To the Editor: The Sun is right to suggest that “speaking out against Trump’s toxicity is the exact type of bipartisan North Country values we want in our representative.” (“Stefanik should be more forceful in denouncing Trump,” Aug. 13 edition.) Surely, if candidate Trump was wearing a swastika, or, perhaps more appropriately, a hammer and sickle armband, we would rightly demand such a denunciation. Living in the North Country, we would expect our representatives to beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Edward Pontacoloni Lake George
ENDORSEMENT POLICY
s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-
dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75. A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate.

Elise Stefanik>Congresswoman, 21st District
elise.stefanik@mail.house.gov
‘Keeping my promises’ “From my first day in Congress, I have tirelessly worked across party lines to keep my promises,” writes US Rep. Elise Stefanik
T
wo years ago, when I ran for Congress, I promised to bring new ideas and a new generation of leadership to Washington on behalf of the North Country. I promised you that my top priority would be to fight for jobs and economic opportunity for North Country families. And from the day I took the oath of office, I have worked with both Republicans and Democrats to pass key legislation to help our North Country economy grow. In Congress, we have passed important laws laying the groundwork for fundamental tax reform so we can have a flatter, fairer, simpler tax code that helps families and small businesses plan for the future. We also have passed important regulatory reform to reign in an overreaching federal government. There is more work to be done in the future, which is why I remain committed to achieving comprehensive tax and regulatory reform so our businesses can grow and create more good paying jobs for North Country families. Our District is geographically the largest Congressional District in New York State, so we understand that the quality of our infrastructure — our roadways, waterways, and bridges — is tied to the health of our economy. For the first time in a decade, we passed a bipartisan, multi-year highway bill to provide important long term investment for our infrastructure. Our economy needs predictability and certainty, and this highway bill allows us to stop passing short term, stopgap measures so that important manufacturers like Bombardier and NovaBus can plan and grow. In our region, where the transportation equipment sector employs more than 8,000 workers, passing that bill was vital, and I’m proud of my role in its enactment. Leadership in Washington also means standing up to your own party to
www.suncommunitynews.com
support economic growth at home. That’s why I voted to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, an important program for key North Country businesses across our district, including New York Air Brake, Swarovski and Belcam. The Export-Import bank ensures that job creators like these can continue to compete on a level playing field with foreign nations, while keeping manufacturing jobs here in New York and in the United States. I also promised to be a voice for commonsense reforms to our healthcare system. In my first year in office, I authored the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s auto-enrollment mandate — the largest fix to Obamacare this Congress. My legislation, signed by President Obama into law, reduces harmful penalties on individuals and employers, and protects North Country jobs. I’ve led the fight to repeal the burdensome medical device tax on firms across our district that produce products to help North Country families live healthier, safer lives. This is an especially important issue in Warren County, which is known as “catheter valley.” We were successful in securing a two-year delay in this onerous tax, leading AngioDynamics to announce that they will take the $4.3 million in savings for their business and use it to create jobs in our community. In the North Country, we understand the importance of Canada as our nation’s largest trading partner. Plattsburgh has even branded itself as Montreal’s “U.S. Suburb,” with 15 percent of its area workforce working for a Canadian or border-related employer. That is why I helped lead the effort to introduce the Promoting Travel, Commerce and National Security Act — a necessary step to finalize the preclearance agreement between the U.S. and Canada, which was reached nearly a year ago. Increasing commerce with our Canadian neighbors is a top economic priority for our region, and this legislation will help build increased economic ties while supporting travel, commerce and tourism between our two nations. This is a landmark piece of legislation for U.S. and Canadian relations and I look forward to helping move it through Congress this year. Agriculture is also critical to our North Country economy. I have cosponsored legislation to reform our H2A visa program to help our workforce, and introduced legislation to expand broadband access to rural farmers. These represent real results for the hardworking families in our district. From my first day in Congress, I have tirelessly worked across party lines to keep my promises. There is, however, much more work to be done to keep our North Country economy growing. I’m proud to serve the 21st District as a new generation of leadership in Washington. I’ll continue to fight for new ideas on behalf of the North Country – and that means working with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WhatÊ wouldÊ PresidentÊ TrumpÊ do? To the Editor: Republicans seem to have different views when the wind shifts. The newest bit of dumb talk centers on our country giving back $400 million that belonged to Iran dating back to President Reagan’s Executive order to do so. If President Obama didn’t get back five Americans held in Iran after the exchange of their money, Republicans would be screaming that he left them! Since our President held back on returning their money until they returned our citizens, Republicans are now saying we paid ransom. Call it what you like but the facts are the money belonged to Iran and the hostages are now free. I would guess the families of those held hostage could care less how they were released! I have to ask, “What would President Trump do” if he were in the same position? Now Trump is going after the Clinton Foundation that has spent millions saving lives and taking care of those less fortunate. This is a message from him and Republicans that they don’t carry the Christian values they espouse to have. The Clinton Foundation has a record of spending that supports its purpose of helping to relieve the pain and suffering for many. As a Christian, I support any organization that helps those who need help. The Republican message rings hollow when it comes to caring not only for Americans but for those in the world who through no fault of their own need help. Trump now has new campaign coordinators who are tempering his outlandish outbreaks of insanity by writing on a teleprompter what he should say. Do these people believe the American public is stupid? Trump has his supporters and they will be with him to the end no matter what he says or does. These are people who care about no one but themselves and who would have fallen in with Hitler. All one has to do is watch the faces of Trump’s followers as he spews out hate in his speeches. I can assure every one that I won’t be holding my nose when I vote for Hillary Clinton as she has shown more Christian values than most who call themselves Christians. Gary Philip Guido Ticonderoga
ThurmanÊ boardÊ membersÊ Ê Ô turnÊ theirÊ backsÊ onÊ theÊ publicÕ Ê withÊ vote To the Editor: The Thurman town board supervisor, Evelyn Wood, has pulled off yet another amazing miracle. Last month a special meeting was called to allow the public an opportunity to address the town board with their opinions relating to whether we should stay with three part time elected assessors, or change to a sole appointed assessor. It seemed like more of the town’s residents wanted to leave it alone and not change; after all, this issue had been voted down five times in the past. I talked to a couple of people who had kept a tally of who was in favor and who was against. They agreed most wanted to leave it alone. At the last meeting, the issue was brought up. The four board members
shared their opinions with every one. Ms. Wood didn’t express an opinion. The public was again not allowed to speak. A vote of the board was taken, four to change one to leave it alone. At that point those four board members turned their backs on the public. You might think that, after taking the time to have these meetings, these four board members would actually listen to the Thurman residents. It looked like if it were put up for a public vote the residents would have voted it down again. This would have been the right thing to do. I think a lot of others would agree, the board should not have taken the approach that they did. It would have been a lot easier to put this issue up for a public vote and live with the outcome.

MediaÊ biasedÊ againstÊ Trump To the Editor: First I would like to address you on Congresswoman Stefanik’s position on the Republican nominee for president. I voted for her and have followed her input and positions on concerns to her constituents. In my opinion, she has done well in representing the people in her district. She has demonstrated an understanding of the issues surrounding her, including D. Trump. The last thing she needs is advice from a left wing editorial board in the tank for Hillary. I see most her issues benefiting far more from a Trump victory than Clinton. So I would suggest you back off! Your editorials are prejudiced against D. Trump. I have yet to see you stand up and support him on immigration, on education, on his availability (unlike Clinton), foreign business deals or health care reform. Need I go on? I don’t think so. Yet I have not seen you challenge Clinton on any of her numerous faults, why? She has lied repeatedly for 25 years that I have been watching, do you need a list? Her support by a failed president and his policies, which have and continue to damage America, are an insult to the American people. Raises questions on just how far did he go to keep her out of jail. Gentlemen, please don’t use your position to advance corruption in our system of government by openly supporting Clinton!

COMMENTARY
The collapse of Obamacare Insurer bailouts are a waste of taxpayer dollars Phil Kerpen
Columnist
T
he health insurance exchanges that are the beating heart of Obamacare are on the edge of collapse, with premiums rising sharply for ever narrower provider networks, nonprofit health co-ops shuttering their doors, and even the biggest insurance companies heading for the exits amid mounting losses. Three states - Alaska, Alabama, and Wyoming - are already down to just a single insurance company, as are large parts of several other states, totaling at least 664 counties. UnitedHealth is pulling out completely, Humana is pulling out of 88 percent of counties it was in, and last weak Aetna strongly suggested it will be exiting, too, unless it gets bribed to stay with a huge, annual infusion of direct corporate bailout payments from taxpayers. Dealing with the wreckage will be at the top of the agenda for the new president and Congress next year, and their options will be limited especially if, as appears likely, we will continue to have divided government. The most likely outcome, then, is the muddled middle, keeping gravely ill Obamacare on life support, with the major policy fight being over the extent to which taxpayers should be forced to provide billions in corporate bailout cash infusions. Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini was pretty blatant in a recent interview with Zachary Tracer of Bloomberg. Here’s the key part: “Rather than transferring money among insurers, the law should be changed to subsidize insurers with government funds,” Bertolini said. “It needs to be a non-zero sum pool in order to fix it,’ Bertolini said.” In other words: everybody is losing money, so taxpayers need to pick up the tab. The Obama administration is already playing fast and loose with the law to shovel as many bailout bucks to insurers as they can - on top of Obamacare’s huge subsidies to lower income consumers and a penalty tax on people who don’t buy in. They shortchanged taxpayers by $3.5 billion that, contrary to law, they sent to insurance companies instead. Democrats will support legalizing these payments and authorizing even larger direct corporate bailouts on an ongoing basis as a way to keep insurance companies in the Obamacare exchanges. Republicans will be attacked as saboteurs for resisting bailout payments, but that misses the point. Direct corporate welfare to bribe companies to participate in a poorly designed program is throwing good money after bad. We won’t be able to get to a real solution until we acknowledge that Obamacare is too rigidly structured and regulated to offer products people actually want, and needs to be reformed or replaced with genuine, functioning markets that give us a much wider variety of plans. Before that can happen, Obamacare supporters need to be held accountable for the law’s manifest failures - not permitted to paper them over with billions more of our tax dollars.

EYE ON THE ARTS
Distraction and mood
I
t often feels like the passing of time is a matter of perspective. It’s as if existing somewhere is a complex equation involving distraction and mood, the combination of which determines how quickly time speeds by. Let’s say that you get out of school at 4 p.m., and it’s currently 3:50 p.m. If you’re free from stimulation, and you’re aggrieved, perhaps this ten minutes will seem like the longest of your life. Each minute will stretch out before you like an accordion; a compact structure unfolding and expanding beyond what seems reasonable. If you’re older, bogged down by work and stressed out that you will not finish on time, then it is possible that this ten minutes will, given the ironic world we live in, seem to speed by with the steady efficiency of a Japanese bullet train. Distraction and mood. In reality, time passes of its own accord. It’s our perspective that changes. Though some circumstances are unchangeable, most of the time we do have the ability to entertain ourselves and change our mood. Those things are yours to change.

REGIONAL
DEC: Record number of bear complaints this season Dry year has bears sniffing out alternative food sources By Kim Dedam
kim@suncommunitynews.com
KEENE VALLEY — Bears are lumbering into towns all around the Adirondack Park this summer. They’re hungry and doing whatever bears can do to root out food, often from garbage bins, sometimes tearing through parked cars or even banging on doors. One night earlier this month, Rory Riggins, 18, got a frantic call from his cousin, Arianna, who was visiting them in Keene Valley. A bear was trying to bust into their glassed-in back porch. “I was at dinner and got a call from my cousin who said there was a bear banging at the back door,” Rory said. The Riggins, who run the Keene Valley Hostel on Route 73, keep trash secured in bins on the porch — behind closed doors. “It was trying to push down the door,” Rory said. “It put a hole in the screen and then knocked out the glass window of the porch.” He hurried the 3 miles or so to get home. Rory yelled at the bear and it scampered off into the woods. “The next night it came back, it was up in a tree. It tried to come back to the porch door and my dad (Jake Riggins) scared it away.” The cousins from out-of-town were nonplussed by their close encounter with a bear, Rory said. “My cousin was terrified. The bear wasn’t very big, I think it was fairly young.” The family reported the marauding bear to the Department of Environmental Conservation, one among an extraordinary

Saranac Lake resident Jim Fuller placed a trail camera at his Branch Farm Road residence and within a week had three bear sightings. Here, the black bear is looking to open a trash container.
number of bear encounter reports called in this summer to DEC from all over: Long Lake, Raquette Lake, Saranac Lake, Keene Valley, North Elba and even at the edge of the park as far south as Fort Ann. BANNER YEAR FOR BEAR ENCOUNTERS Jim Stickles is the DEC Region 5 wildlife biologist assigned to manage bears. “This has definitely been a banner year for bear encounters in the Adirondacks,” he told the Sun in a recent interview. The bears here are all Black Bears, Stickles said. They are coming out of the forests into towns to find food. Normally, bears survive on berries, fruits and various types of vegetation. “But when we have dry years like this, the food sources are not abundant or have dried out to the point where they’re not valuable as food anymore,” Stickles said. Stickles was familiar with several of the creatures that have been rummaging around the Hamlet of Keene Valley. “We’ve had a male and a mother with two cubs in that area that we’re monitoring,” Stickles said. The male was hit last week by a car on Route 73 and killed, Stickles said.

The mother bear is still being monitored. DEC watches and classifies nuisance bears in a system that ranges from Class 1 (more dangerous) to Class 4. This allows biologists to isolate a dangerous bear from others that exhibit more normal behavior and remain wary of people. When bears begin to exhibit behavior that causes structural damage to property, it becomes a different story, the DEC biologist said. Right now, DEC is trying to capture a bear in Raquette Lake that has been breaking into cabins and destroying property in the process. But that’s not the only bear burglar. BEAR BARRAGE OLD FORGE In Old Forge, a bear broke into a car parked at the Old Forge Camping Resort off Route 28, according to recent news reports. The owners, Franklin and Lexi Smith, shared their story via social media, telling how they watched as the bruin, a mom with cubs, triggered the car’s alarm by jumping on the hood. The alarm unlocked the car doors, and the bear got inside. >> See BEARS | next page

Then the doors shut. The angry mother bear completely destroyed the interior of the Smith’s car in the few minutes before security showed up. A friend of the Smith’s, Joseph A Rizzo Jr., posted a photo of the shredded car on his Facebook page, adding his part of the story about that bear: “I hear some noises outside our tent, peak my head out and it’s just three bears and one is INSIDE Claudia Rizzo Moore’s car! I managed to scare them off to the neighbor’s where one of the bears opens up their (Smith’s) car, crawls in, and the car door closes behind the bear. The bear is now trapped inside their car...” SARANAC LAKE’S BEARS Numerous calls from a wide swath of the Village of Saranac Lake have DEC looking there in earnest to find a bothersome bear. Winchell shared a map showing much of the northern section above Lake Flower where sightings have occurred. But there might be more than one bear. On Branch Farm Rd. in Saranac Lake — the other side of Lake Flower — resident Jim Fuller set up a trail camera about two weeks ago. “He could be swimming the lake,” Fuller told the Sun. “I’ve had three discernible bear pictures, so far. It gets into the neighbor’s garbage. Every Saturday, vacation rentals flip over, so the garbage cans are full with one group leaving and another coming in. And he’s been here every Saturday night. The bear makes a big mess,” Fuller said. Stickles, the DEC wildlife biologist, said there haven’t been many reports of nuisance bears from Champlain Valley residents in towns like Willsboro, Essex or Westport. “There are different vegetation and food sources throughout that section and that could play a part in why bears haven’t been as much of a problem as in the central Adirondacks,” he said. The population, too, is less dense than in recreational camping areas in close proximity to the forest.

COUNTY
Adirondack Cuisine Trail Association now a tri-county effort Organizers submit blueprints for proposed effort to state By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE CLEAR — Foodies rejoice. A proposed regional cuisine trail network across the tri-county area passed a major milestone last week when organizers applied for official status from the state Department of Ag and Markets. If granted status, the network will graduate from an abstract concept to an official route that may be eligible for state resources. The idea of an Essex County cuisine trail was first floated in January by a local entrepreneur. Since then, the idea of a self-navigated route showcasing the region’s food and beverage destinations has sparked a flurry of activity in the region and has become a tricounty effort, with a total of six possible networks now on the drawing board in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. The idea, said Jay White, the project’s architect, is to organize the region’s agricultural assets into a unifying brand and market it to visitors as a unique travel destination.
Progress has been swift. Following that initial meeting, which saw immediate interest from local farmers, food producers and civic cheerleaders, an organizational nucleus was formed. Dozens of letters of support were drafted and a nonprofit was formed to house an the new structure, the Adirondack Cuisine Trail Association (ACTA). A maximum of 10 cuisine trails can be designated across the state. The ACTA has proposed six, two in each county. The key is to have as many entry points as possible into the network. Each would be self-navigated along about 75 miles of the region’s most heavily-trafficked roads using signs as a benchmark. Advocates envision an entire culture sprouting up around the new routes. While including farms and breweries are obvious, said proponents, perhaps restau-
rants will create new menus, for instance. Or lodgings will create immersive packages designed to drive overnight visitation. Ernie Hohmeyer, owner of the Lake Clear Lodge and Resort, already provides a similar package for guests as part of the lodge’s Adirondack History Dinner series designed to explore the history of the region’s food culture. Earlier this year, Hohmeyer was part of a group of Franklin County business owners and officials who were tossing around their own ideas for a way to drive tourism along the Route 86 corridor from St. Regis, Lake Clear and Upper Saranac. Generating spending in that area has typically proved to be a tough nut to crack due to the lack of a downtown area, Hohmeyer said. The group arrived at the idea of a wellness, nature and history coordinator before catching wind of the proposed cuisine trail.
Instead of forming their own nonprofit, they linked up with White. “It’s a natural commerce route already,” Hohmeyer said. “We’re just taking advantage of it.” So far, 30 Franklin County farmers, brewers and restaurants have expressed interest in the two trails, Hohmeyer said (another route would link Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake along Route 3), a number he hopes will grow to 50 following more public meetings and informational sessions. Clinton County, too, has jumped on board, where a pair of proposed trails would interplay with existing wine routes. “We’re going to tell a larger, broader story to these trails,” White said, “as opposed to one focus on a particular product, like wine or maple.” According to White, Ag and Markets indicated a preliminary review of the applications would be completed by Sept. 1, marking the end of the first phase of the application effort. Following their approval, a second phase will require Ag and Markets and the state Department of Transportation to discuss signage and possible traffic impacts. Those determinations would set the table for the final approval process. If approved, inclusion on the trail will likely be membership based, White said, with participating businesses paying an annual fee. “Food can be a real draw,” Hohmeyer said. “Our food, and our food history, is in itself a destination.”

Schroon Lake Golf Course gets improvements By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
SCHROON LAKE – Many improvements are being made to the Schroon Lake Golf Course this summer. The town-owned course will have full irrigation on most of its nine holes for the first time, Schroon Town Supervisor Michael Marnell said. “It looks great,” the supervisor said. “We got a new manager, a retired National Grid engineer, and he’s been working on it.”
New Golf Course Manager Jamie Veitch said parts of the course showed the lack of irrigation. “We had an existing system for 45 percent of the course,” he said. “It was never done for the end of the course. We also standardized to a high-quality sprinkler.” Veitch said they ran a four-inch-diameter water line for the new irrigation system. “What makes it even better is we have the skills in-house to do it,” he said. “It’s just the cost of the materials.” The course looks much more lush and green now, he said. Altogether, they installed about 3,800 feet of main water line and 3,600 feet of secondary line for 18 zones. “We’ve got over a mile of pipe in the ground,” Veitch said. They also moved some of the tees closer, to make play easier for golfers. Total costs have clocked in at $20,000. ”We’ve been watching the cost,” Veitch said. ”We laid it (the realignment) out ourselves. It makes it more enjoyable.” The municipal golf course is open seven days a week in the summer, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Phone 532-9359 for more information.

cutting on the 13.5 mile trail. A month later, Albany Supreme Court Justice Gerald Connolly lifted the halt. But last Friday, the Appellate Court granted a temporary stay of execution, pending a decision on Protect’s new appeal. COUNTING TREES Protect first moved to stop the entire project last year, charging that DEC’s trail cutting violates the 14th “Forever Wild” Amendment of the state constitution. The court told Protect then they had no evidence or independent analysis of numbers of trees cut. “We had a field consultant out in the forest and we counted stumps. We estimated DEC is removing 15,000 trees in this project, and has cut about 7,500 — they’re half-way done,” Protect Executive Director Peter Bauer said in an interview last week. Protect counted trees smaller than three inches in diameter, a method significantly different than the DEC’s. “What we have found is that the state only counts trees three inches diameter or greater. Unfortunately, we think the judge erred in saying the trees less than three inches in diameter are ‘saplings’ or ‘seedlings,” Bauer said. “Depending on the type of tree, species and habit, you can have a tree decades-old, biding its time waiting for an opportunity for an opening in the canopy. We plan to teach the court about the complexity of the forest and the importance of these smaller trees.” In court papers, Protect charges DEC has also underestimated the number of large trees that need to be cut to complete the trail. HALF-BUILT Mired in layers of litigation, the trail is supposed to be completed by Fall 2017. At DEC, Commissioner Basil Seggos said Connolly’s July decision allowing work to move forward acknowledged proper public planning. “The court has correctly found that DEC’s actions to develop this snowmobile trail were constitutional,” Seggos said in a news release. “DEC has worked carefully to develop this trail with minimal impact on Forest Preserve lands, and at the same time is eliminating other trails that are redundant, unsafe and intrude into more remote areas of the Forest Preserve.” FLAWED PLAN For Bauer and Protect, the number of trees being cut exacerbates what they consider a flawed plan. “First off, they haven’t figured out a way to cross the Boreas River. “Secondly, they are building a trail to nowhere. They still do not have agreements with private landowners to get the trail downtown to Minerva, to Sporty’s (Saloon) bar and Murdie’s Store. Snowmobiling is heavily a bar-to-bar experience in the Adirondacks. You have the bar in Newcomb, the bar in Indian Lake and the trails connect all of them,” Bauer
QUESTIONS MULTI-USE Bauer also says the definition of “multi-use” for the trail system is misleading. “The application of ‘multi-use’ to define a trail is a sham in the Adirondacks. Nobody will use these trails for hiking,” he said, pointing to what he believes are problems with oversized water-bars on trails planted with grass. “They are nearly impossible to ride a bike on and they’re not what the mountain biking community wants. “These are 12-foot-wide clear-cuts through the forest. They say that they’re going to be attractive for horses, but they’re very steep in many places, they have lots of water bars and an uneven surface.” SNOWMOBILERS SOUND OFF Dominic Jacangelo is executive director of the New York State Snowmobile Association. He says DEC’s construction is meant to support multiple use on the Connector Trail. “The state wants them to be used in spring, summer and fall as well as winter.” The water bars, for example, steer water away from the trail, he said. “We’re not as concerned about the trails being wet,” Jacangelo said. And not everyone wants to hike 20 miles on mountain trails into the back country, he added. “These trails make access easier for many people. “The other thing this construction exposes is the value of using existing roads for connector trails,” Jacangelo said, pointing to existing logging roads in Boreas Tract. “It’s very clear there are good roads in Boreas. Use the road.” As for lack of snow last winter and several years ago, Jacangelo, who is supervisor in the Town of Poestenkill, said the weather varies. “Last year was unusual. The year before I rode right into April and up in that area. To use global warming is a marginal argument. Next winter could be the snowiest we’ve ever seen. President of the Newcomb Snowmobile Club Eric Schreifels said he has seen people walking and hiking on what’s built of the trails this summer. “Yes, it’s worth putting those trails in. People do use this in the summer, people hike it and people walk it. The trails are important for year-round opportunity and are designed to connect the towns together.” Asked if snowmobiles travel bar-to-bar, Schreifels — who said he does not drink alcohol — says it is much the same as people in cars, driving from one bar to another. And the Newcomb Snowmobile Club does its part to discourage drinking and riding, the president said. “We try to see that and stop that ourselves. That’s a no-no from most of the guys that ride,” Schreifels said. SNOWLESS WINTERS Bauer says counting on snowmobile business is a risky venture with the changing weather patterns.
The Times of Ti Sun • August 27, 2016 | 21
“Newcomb, Minerva, Indian Lake, Long Lake and North Hudson get far less snow than Old Forge. “Everybody says if we build snowmobile trails these communities will be able to build snowmobile tourism like Old Forge. And one of the things you need for successful snowmobiling is snow,” Bauer charged. “There are many things that make snowmobiling successful in Old Forge, and one of those things is lake-effect snowfall.” In Newcomb, Schreifels said snow depth is different every year. “We had one bad year with little snow last year. The point is, we’ve had years without snow before, that’s nothing new,” Schreifels told the Sun. “By putting those trails in, when we do get snow, it brings in new winter business and gives people a way to get into these towns.” Schreifels said grooming and care of the winter trail surface is a cooperative effort between snowmobile clubs. “The clubs maintain all of the trails themselves.” YEAR-ROUND RECREATION For supervisors in towns being connected, the trail’s purpose would encourage year-round use. Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally sees opportunity emerging. “It is opening up more recreation and more access for the people that live here,” McNally said. “We have five towns working together on a vision to connect interior Adirondack towns with a four-season trail, providing a unique opportunity for tourism in this area,” McNally says. “It will allow trails in Schroon Lake to connect Warren County trails, to Newcomb to Indian Lake and on to Old Forge. In winter, people from Newcomb can ride snowmobiles to Lake George and beyond.” IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS For Newcomb Town Supervisor Wes Miga, the trail also solidifies a shared vision of economic growth in the center of the Adirondack Park. “It is part of an important connection to act as an economic stimulus between the five towns. “It would be our preference to not have any litigation and to move forward with the original plan,” Miga said. The Matter of Protect the Adirondacks v. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, 2137-13 continues to move ahead with a trial set in Albany County for March 2017, Bauer said. But decisions made now or even next year will impact future legs of the planned Community Connector Trail, which required amendments in 2015 to DEC’s Unit Management Plans in the Camp Santanoni Historic Area, Harris Lake Intensive Use Area and Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest. In North Hudson, Supervisor Ron Moore is watching as the state prepares to classify and develop recreational use of the newly purchased Boreas Tract. “That Community Connector is critical to establishing our trails here,” he said. “That one goes between Newcomb and Minerva with a leg that will eventually lead to North Hudson. It’s important that

‘Otis Mountain’ fest to draw over 2,000 Elizabethtown music festival returns for its fourth year with 37-band lineup By Elizabeth Izzo
elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — There is only one event that attracts over 2,000 people and 30 live acts to Elizabethtown every year, and it’s coming up fast. Otis Mountain Get Down. The festival is back for its fourth year on Sept. 9-11, and with the venue almost booked to capacity, organizers expect it to be the biggest year yet. For the uninitiated, Otis Mountain is a music and arts festival hosted on an old ski hill in the heart of the Adirondacks. The venue, now simply called Otis Mountain, was once the Elizabethtown Ski Center, a public ski hill operation that ran from 19401959. In a 1940 editorial on the ski hill, reprinted in “Lost Ski Areas” by Jeremy Davis, a writer gushed about the beloved place: “It is refreshing that so many of both adults and younger sports fans are taking a real interest ... The Elizabethtown Ski Club merits the congratulations of the entire community. This reporter joins heartily in its recommendation.” Otis Mountain was lost for nearly 16 years, according to “Lost Ski Areas,” until Jeff Allott purchased the property and reopened it as a

semi-private ski area and music venue. Over the years, the Otis Mountain festival has seen acts of all genres and from all levels of notoriety. This year, the lineup will feature artists from as close as Elizabethtown, to as far away as France. “Personally, I’m looking forward to Kepa,” said Zach Allott, an organizer for the event and son of landowner Jeff Allott. “He’s a su-
