Public input wanted for proposed regional trail network Adirondack Community-based Trails and Lodging System aims to broaden hiking experience, revitalize communities By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Are you into nature but are clueless on how to pitch a tent or build a campfire? Do you have inexperienced guests in town? Getting older? Or are you still hardcore, but want a few luxuries waiting for you at the end of your journey? An ambitious new project aims to broaden the hiking experience for everyone, and give local towns an economic jump start in the process.

Ô IÊ justÊ wantÊ toÊ entertainÕ

The Adirondack Community-based Trails and Lodging System (ACTLS) project seeks to develop a series of trail networks across the region. Key locations will include lodging facilities at the end of a day-long trek, each containing varying amenities. Hatched by a pair of local educators with years of wilderness experience, the project is now only in its conceptual stages, and was formally rolled out earlier this year at the Adirondack Research Consortium’s annual conference in Lake Placid. After experiencing a hut-to-hut system in New Zealand, Joe Dadey, a former Paul Smith’s College professor, returned statewide and mulled over his experience: “What would that like look like in the Adirondacks?” The Methow Valley Recreational Trail Sys-

tem in Washington, a network of 120 miles of cross-country ski trails surrounded by national wilderness, provided additional inspiration, Dadey said. That network, according to their website, generated $4.5 million in spending directly, another $4.1 million indirectly, and an additional $2.7 million annually through related industry earnings in the region. Over 200 seasonal full- and part-time jobs can be also directly attributed to the network. A similar system in the Adirondack Park would promote the outdoors and wellness while also aiding in economic development, Dadey said. The network could also provide opportunities for people who don’t ordinarily experience the backcountry. Dadey and his partner, Jack Drury, will host a series of nine community workshops across the Adirondacks this fall to gather

public input. The first session was held in Star Lake on Tuesday. Subsequent sessions are scheduled for Old Forge, Saranac, Lake Placid, Lake George, Elizabethtown, Ticonderoga and Tupper Lake, with the final session slated for Paul Smith’s on Nov. 15. The project is in its embryonic stages, and possible trail networks exist only within a conceptual framework. But Dadey and Drury hope to leverage public knowledge with these sessions, gleaning input on existing trails and prospective new ones and their connections, as well as potential lodging facilities. Routes floated earlier this spring include a North Creek to Indian Lake circuit that may incorporate rafting. >> See TRAILS | pg. 14

MLH readies $9.1 million renovation project Planned medical village to start in February By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – A $9.1 million renovation project is getting underway to completely revamp Moses-Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga. Moses-Ludington will serve as the cornerstone of a proposed new medical village. “Plans for the medical village in Ticonderoga will bring a variety of complementary, health‐related services to one main campus,” said John Remillard, president of Elizabethtown Community Hospital and Moses-Ludington. Those services include emergency care, laboratory services, specialty care, therapy and radiology testing. The medical village will also allow continued opportunity for other health-related organizations, Remillard said. As part of the project, the hospital emergency room will be completely revamped and modernized. “It will incorporate a lot of efficiencies,” said Moses-Ludington and ECH and MLH COO Matt Nolan. “We’re trying to maximize each department without moving walls. After hours, everybody (coming to the facility) will be filtered through the emergency department.” That will be a lot more intuitive, said Jane Hooper, an ECH spokeswoman. “We’re not changing the footprint,” she said. “We’re making it more efficient.” He said they’re planning for a bid opening in early December, with construction starting in February 2017. “We’ll still be fully functional during the construction,” Nolan said. “It will be done in phases. It’s incredibly important that healthcare organizations are able to provide patient care, even while in the midst of a significant renovation. “Our experience, and the ongoing guidance we receive from the construction contractors during weekly meetings will always ensure that patient care comes first.” Nolan said he’s worked with a team of architects and designers from E4H and Engineering Ventures, of Burlington, Vt., and Moses-Ludington’s’ department managers to develop the plans. “We’re getting good cooperation from department managers,” he said. “They’ve all told us what would work well.” The outpatient clinic will be done first, then the laboratory, and next the emergency department, because that was determined to be the most logical way to relocate departments. Diagnostic imaging, pharmacy, and rehabilitation departments will also be renovated.

The emergency department at Moses-Ludington Hospital will be completely rebuilt under a $9.1 million renovation project at the Ticonderoga facility. Work is expected to start early next year. The department is now confined to a narrow hallway at the hospital. Photo by Lohr McKinstry

Each of the departments will boast larger, more efficient space for clinical staff to care for patients, Hooper said. The emergency room will be staffed by physician’s assistants, with video consultation with University of Vermont Health Network, Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, and doctors supplied by Hudson Headwaters Health Network when required. “They get a lot of traumatic accidents,” Hooper said. “The emergency department will be easily accessible from the main lobby, close to the more private registration areas for patients. The emergency department will offer its own waiting area for family members, away from the facility’s waiting areas that serve other departments. The rooms will be substantially larger than the current ED rooms; the entire space will be larger and more efficient.” The new emergency department will be four times larger than it is at present, she said, and add a four-bed observation unit, so that clinical staff can monitor patients as required. The project will include a new radiology suite, easily accessible from the main lobby, with its own waiting area and reception desk. The radiology suite includes two x-ray rooms, CT scan room, ultrasound, mammography, bone density scanning and access to the mobile MRI unit. The hospital laboratory will now be located adjacent to the emergency department, and directly off the main lobby, for ease of patient access. There are two rooms for acquiring patient samples, and a larger room to contain all the testing equipment so that many tests can easily be offered on-site, en-

suring quick results for physicians. The new outpatient services clinic will offer efficient space for specialty physicians to meet with patients. This space will offer its own reception and waiting area for privacy, a number of exam rooms, two procedure rooms, and a recovery area. A number of specialists travel to Moses-Ludington on a regular basis, and they can now meet with many patients in one day, alleviating the need for patients to travel great distances to see a specialist. Specialists will be able to easily order lab or radiologic testing. The outpatient physical therapy space will also be renovated and reconfigured to allow treatment in a more efficient space. It will offer four private exam rooms, and a large gym space with equipment for patients to complete their rehab on an outpatient basis. Hooper said Moses-Ludington is being assisted by a group of healthcare organizations, including the University of Vermont Health Network, Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital at Plattsburgh, ECH and Hudson Headwaters Health Network. ECH will manage and operate the services available at Moses-Ludington. >> See MLH | pg. 19

Rebuilt Sentinel Field, athletic complex now open By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – The new Ticonderoga Central School athletic complex is ready for play. The football field, Sentinel Field, is sod, but the new running track is rubberized, replacing a hard asphalt track. “It’s a brand-new field, new track with eight lanes, new bleachers for spectators, handicapped access, new scoreboard, lighting, new irrigation system and drainage,” Superintendent Dr. John McDonald Jr. said. “We’re proud of it.” The work added two lanes to the track.

The first game played on the new field was the girls’ soccer team match on Oct. 5. “We decided to target using the field for the last three home soccer games, beginning Oct. 5, and the last home football game on Oct. 7,” McDonald said. “The field was turned over to us by the contractor on Sept. 30.” The school’s sports teams have been playing their home games at other fields in the meantime, he said. Just some routine items like lining the field remained before the first games, he said. “Everything else is done.” The girls’ soccer team won the first game on the new field, he said.

“Girls won last night against Chazy,” he said. “Great way to break in the new field.” Ticonderoga Varsity Head Football Coach Scott Nephew said he’s looking forward to playing on the new Sentinel Field. “Our field has not been in ideal shape for the past several years,” he said. Next is phase two, McDonald said. “They will include a new all-purpose building, team rooms, restrooms, officials’ room, storage and concession stand,” the superintendent said. As part of the same project, the Elementary-Middle School roof and the High School gymnasium roof were replaced. Phase two will include renovating the High School au-

ditorium, and a renovated planetarium and portico at the High School. The auditorium restoration will include asbestos abatement, air conditioning, heating/ ventilation, stage lighting and audio/visual equipment. The work is part of a $7.3 million capital project approved by voters last year. CS Arch of Albany designed the project, with Peckham Industries doing the athletic complex, along with subcontractor Girard Landscaping and Turf Management of Glens Falls. — See more on the first games on the field on page 22

A new manufacturing era

y nature, we are each unique and different. We want to pursue our own path in life and in nearly everything we do. It’s that free spirit quality that has made our country so successful and creative. Last week, the country celebrated Manufacturing Week with events peppered from north to south. Creating and building products that meet the population’s ever-growing needs is not only a highly satisfying career, but one with handsome rewards also. Plattsburgh, site of the new Institute of Advanced Manufacturing (IAM) at Clinton Community College, served as a host site for a number of manufacturers from around the region. The panel discussion revealed several interesting new developments that might surprise those among us who think of manufacturing plants as dark and dirty, performing monotonous work. Another purpose of the gathering was to celebrate the success our region enjoys having these production facilities located here and to remind parents, teachers and students of the tremendous career opportunities available in the manufacturing fields today. IAM will be a state-of-theart facility designed to support advanced manufacturing throughout the region when it opens next fall and will provide the region with the perfect assets to attract and train our growing population. Most manufacturing facilities pay approximately 20 percent more than the area’s going pay rates. Technical education degrees are far less expensive than liberal art degrees and are more likely to be achieved with far fewer college loans to pay back. Most workers today are cross trained in more than one area of expertise and are provided greater opportunity for advancement, especially with baby boomers leaving the work force at high numbers. Management no longer calls all the shots. They’ve learned most line workers have superior ideas when it comes to streamlining operations. Today’s worker actively seeks the opportunity to take a more active role improving the work flow and product design and management encourages this participation. Training opportunities today far exceed what has been available in the past, and with new technology and a greater demand for green manufacturing taking place, workers play a more important role than ever before. Clearly our industrial plants today are nothing like the smoke-filled plants our grandfather and great grandfathers worked in years ago. These lean and clean facilities offer stability and tremendous economic hope for our communities and the lives we build around them. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News.

EDITORIAL

Go newspapers! T

he second presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on Oct. 9 was among the most dark and dreary we’ve ever seen, and we admit we were sitting on the edge of our seats for the first 15 minutes watching this surreal spectacle crackle with tension. Two stories framed the surrealistic showdown more than any other: The first was Trump boasting about groping women, a story that cast the political world into upheaval just hours before the event. The second was the revelations that the real estate magnate (legally) used a $916 million loss to avoid paying taxes. These were the two of the biggest stories of the campaign. And they were both broken by newspapers — not cable networks, social media, websites or talk radio, but good old-fashioned newspapers. The Washington Post and the New York Times picked up the stories that the television networks punted on. That’s not a small feat considering the industry has laid off 40 percent of its reporters over the past decade. The media has become a popular punching bag during this election cycle, and we’ve seen the discussion veer both ways: We’re heroes or villains depending on the beholder. Some even say that the choice between two disliked candidates is our fault because we didn’t do our jobs in the first place by vetting them — or that the media has been shielding one candidate or another. There is some degree of truth to those criticisms. National media companies have sadly become monopolies and have enjoyed too great an influence over the public’s flow of information, which in many cases, has now gone away from fair reporting to tipping the scales. But it’s a discussion that will percolate long after the election. Love or hate the press, it’s undisputed that newspapers continue to play a vital role in shaping the country’s debate, setting the tone and driving the national discourse — including the investigative work that fueled Sunday’s debate, as well as the other dogged, thorough and comprehensive work that has shaped this campaign. The same applies to the local level. But the future remains uncharted as the newspaper industry continues to navigate choppy waters. Luckily for us, the pendulum is swinging back to print, and people more than ever are turning to their local newspapers for comprehensive and indepth reporting.

We’re reminded of something comedian John Oliver said in his much-discussed “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” segment on the challenges that face the newspaper biz, which made headlines earlier this summer for its defense of good reporting paired with a few hard truths. “A big part of the blame is on us and our willingness to pay for the work that journalists produce,” Oliver said. “We’ve just grown accustomed to getting our news for free, and the longer we get something for free, the less willing we’re likely to pay for it.” Bingo. While Oliver made a lot of other assertions we disagree with — newspapers needn’t forsake investigative reporting at the expense of clickbait — we can’t emphasize enough that print plays a critical role in the media’s food chain, and that their gradual erosion would lead to a society run amok. Small, private organizations such as ours are attempting to set a new course and return local media control to the grassroots where there is a balance of control between the media owner(s) and the community. We’re a free publication made possible through advertising. So if you enjoy quality reporting, and have a vested interest in your community, frequent the businesses whose support make it possible for us to bring you the quality of reporting that shapes discussions across the North Country. The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau, Pete DeMola and Keith Lobdell. We want to hear from you.

StefanikÊ endorsementÊ Ô indefensibleÕÊ To the Editor: If anyone had any doubts about Donald Trump’s sleazy and misogynistic attitude toward women, those doubts were dispelled by the latest Trump tapes. This adds to the list of groups he despises — Mexicans, immigrants, the disabled, war heroes — the list goes on. Republican congresswoman Elise Stefanik has said that Trump’s remarks are “inappropriate,” “offensive” and “wrong” yet she continues to endorse him. Her endorsement is indicative of a larger problem: instead of using her own best judgement and voting in the interests of the people she represents, she

just toes the Party line. For example, she voted to weaken Clean Air regulations in July 2015, a move that is contrary to the interests of her own district. Emissions from power plants in the Midwest are responsible for the acid rain which has already caused so much damage to Adirondack lakes and trees, and the legislation she voted for will increase that potential. Her votes and her endorsement of Trump are indefensible and contradict her claim to be an independent voice in Congress. It is clear that her primary goal is to advance her own political career, and the best way to achieve this is to unquestioningly support the party leadership, regardless of the impact on her own constituents. Alan Brown Saranac Lake

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. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COMMENTARY

Redeﬁning Trump’s ‘genius’

Ti Crop Walk leads to real results

To the Editor: As a veteran and a taxpayer, I have to wonder what it would take to be a Trump supporter� First Trump gets four deferments so he won’t be drafted and now it turns out he doesn’t even pay taxes to help pay for our military. His supporters say this makes him a genius, but I say it makes him a coward who sends others to die so he can continue to not pay his fair share of taxes. His latest attack against Hillary with regard to her “fidelity” to her husband is likened to hitting himself in the foot with a sledgehammer. He is a man who cheated on his first and second wives in public while married, trying to bring reproach on someone else� His charitable foundation is a sham as it is nothing more than a “tax free” bank for Trump to use for a $20,000 portrait of himself and God knows what else. Again, his supporters say this was a stroke of “genius�” I will admit Trump is a genius at pulling the wool over the eyes of his supporters, but it ends there. I would guess if his supporters didn’t pay their federal taxes for two decades that they would be pounding rocks in Leavenworth prison� Then there’s the business of Trump cheating thousands who spent money at his failed university� Florida’s Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Trump friend, dropped an investigation called for by Florida residents who were swindled after taking a contribution, and I would suppose this was also genius. I think the word “genius” needs to be redefined as meaning “Someone who cheats, swindles and dodges responsibility�” God Bless America.

To the Editor: Everyone is invited to join us on Oct. 15 in the annual Ticonderoga CROP Walk. We will meet at 1 p.m. at the Heritage Museum in Bicentennial Park for a 1, 2, or 4 mile walk. If you’d rather not walk, a car will drive you. Wonderful things have been happening around the world with the funds raised by the 114,000 participants countrywide. The UN reports that there are 50 percent fewer hungry people than 25 years ago. As a village gets a clean water supply, local families can plant their own crops and even have a goat or lamb. When mothers and children don’t have to walk for hours to find water they might even have time for school. When disaster strikes, our monies quickly go to help. Last year, $2,700 was shared between our food banks in Crown Point, Hague and Ticonderoga. You can call us to sign up or go one line at crophungerwalk.org/ticonderogany. We also have a Facebook page (Ticonderoga Area CROP Walk) where photos from past years are posted. Please invite a friend to come walk with you on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 1 p.m.

To the Editor: The saying is: “Like father like son.” Young Trump put his silver tongue and foot in his mouth in public when he commented about gas chambers being heated. Donald Trump Jr. — they did not heat gas chambers. They just pulled a plug. Zyklon B came from the shower heads and millions of people were gassed in this horrible way. In the 1930s, when I was an elementary student, a nice gentleman showed up one day and told us if we were eating apricots, try to put the pits in a jar — and when the jar was full, to turn it in for a lollypop or candy, our choice. We did well to eat apricots and collect pits. In the meantime, my dad had a meeting at the temple and found out about this glorious collection of pits. It was for Zyklon B manufacturing. Thank God the season to harvest is short for apricots, for it was used to manufacture Zyklon B. To this day, when I eat apricots, I dispose of the pits properly and say a kiddush for the souls of the murdered Jews.

Thurman Fall Farm Tour drew hundredsÊ toÊ smallÊ town To the Editor: The annual Thurman Fall Farm Tour is over. Our small town welcomed hundreds of guests from near and far. According to the hosts of the seven tour sites, guests came with an enthusiasm and curiosity to learn about our Thurman farms through demonstrations, tours and talks, and felt embraced by local hospitality. They got pointers on how to read a llama’s body language, how maple products and quilts are made, how Windsor chairs are charmed out of lumber and jewelry out of silver. Some tried unsuccessfully to lift a 450 pound timber by brute strength, then learned that, with a block and tackle, the job was possible. They nailed autographed boards to a new barn; they took hay rides; they painted and catapulted pumpkins, sampled foods and sat down for hearty county meals. They voted for best quilts, scarecrows and most cleverly upcycled “stuff ” (with one voter marking his contest ballot for Donald Trump.) When the day was over, the happy hosts reported that it had been their busiest Fall Farm Tour ever. We credit this success to the cooperation among the hosts of the sites, each doing his or her own part to create an enticing attraction, some pouring hundreds of dollars into staff and samples, putting the needs of the event ahead of those of the individual. Volunteers from the Thurman Station Association helped promote the event through press releases, social media, brochure distribution, banner hanging and sign posting. Everyone did what they could to make Oct. 8 a success. And that spirit of cooperation was the best part of the day, and the best part of our small community. The Thurman Fall Farm Tour was made possible, in part, by Warren County occupancy tax dollars re-granted by the Thurman Station Association, with help from the First Wilderness Heritage Corridor, and funding through the NYS Department of State under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund.

Ô RealityÊ checkÕ Ê onÊ MikeÊ Pence To the Editor: If you are a woman: Indiana joins North Dakota with the most restrictive laws against woman’s health. Not only Planned Parenthood, but the ability of a woman to make a choice even in cases of rape. If you are a worker: Mike Pence used his own campaign money to repeal Indiana’s common construction wage laws. Workers in Indiana now do more work for less. If you believe in education: Mike Pence declined an 80 million dollar grant that would have established a statewide Pre-K system. His state has a D+ rating for the state’s infrastructure. Two interstate bridge closures. His state’s per capita income dropped to 38th in the nation Seniors: He voted to privatize Social Security. And wants to voucher-ize Medicare� Really folks? Think again� Marlene McAlevey Jay

HoldingÊ myÊ noseÊ onÊ ElectionÊ Day To the Editor: I am writing in response to the many letters in support of Donald Trump by Mr. Windle of Putnam. From the tone of his letters, I assume that he considers Trump to be the second coming of the Messiah. Actually, the man is the biggest con artist since P.T. Barnum. I wouldn’t even consider him for dog catcher. We don’t need an incompetent in the White House. We already have enough of them in Congress. As for Hillary, I am not fond of her either. Bernie was my choice. I don’t know much about Gary Johnson, as the media has chosen to ignore his very existence. I have considered sitting this one out, but that doesn’t solve the problem. So on Election Day, I will go to the polls and hold my nose and pick the least obnoxious one of the bunch. Nicholas O’Connor Ticonderoga

reast cancer surgeon Dr. Laura Esserman sings to her patients as they go under anesthesia. She tackles any song request, whether it’s a top 40 hit or a Broadway ballad. This same patient-centric attitude drove Dr. Esserman to participate in adaptive clinical trials, a game-changing way to test new medications. It’s past time that other researchers think beyond traditional clinical trials. Adaptive trials can make drug testing both more efficient and accurate. If regulators were to encourage greater use of adaptive trials and facilitate sharing of electronic health record data, researchers could deliver better drugs to patients, faster. In a traditional clinical trial, researchers plan out every element of the trial -- from the number of participants to the type of data to be collected -- before they begin testing. They stick to this rigid master plan until the trial is complete. But in an adaptive trial, researchers pre-plan certain modifications that they can make part-way through the trial, based on the results they’ve uncovered so far. Think of it in terms of mapping a run. A runner might look at a map and realize that at one point, the road will fork. Instead of deciding whether to go left or right before he ever begins jogging, he might choose to postpone the choice until actually reaches the fork. Perhaps he’d like to observe which path is muddier or which path has less traffic -- and he’ll only know when he gets there. Similarly, researchers administering adaptive clinical trials can modify their tests as they make observations. Like the runner, they have to pre-plan what choices they’ll make and when. But the more flexible trial formula enables them to alter the trial in response to real-world results. Dr. Esserman’s trial, for example, personalized testing by splitting breast cancer patients into different groups depending on various measurements of their health. She tested a combination of therapies on these patients -- and only continued testing those that were found initially effective. By not having to run a dud treatment through the course of a standard clinical trial, the adaptive design reduced the cost, time, and number of patients needed for the trial. The FDA currently permits adaptive trials in limited instances. Letting researchers use this model more often would improve the drug development process. Another way to improve the process is to enable doctors, insurers, and drug companies to share data on patients’ health outcomes after they take new FDA-approved medicines. By analyzing this data, they could uncover patterns that can’t be detected even in the largest clinical trials. Changing regulations to permit greater sharing of such data would help researchers unveil rare side effects, complications, or “miracle” results that crop up. Adaptive trials and increased data sharing would deliver better medicines to patients faster and with greater safety. That’s something to sing about. Peter J. Pitts, a former FDA Associate Commissioner, is the president and co-founder of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest.

EYE ON THE ARTS

ohn Lennon, born this month in 1940, once said that his role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try to express what we all feel. “Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.” The importance of authenticity in art cannot be understated. I believe that the perception of authenticity is key — even the people most removed from the art world can have the ability to see whether an artist is being truthful or deceptive. When an artist is truthful, they have a special power; their work and uninhibited expression can truly inspire and garner genuine empathy. Being relatable — or creating something that is universal — is oftentimes an effect of authenticity rather than of a goal set by the artist. There are artists, musicians and writers abound in the North Country, all of whom host events every week to offer up their work for residents and visitors to experience. Here are a few of their efforts: ROTA Studio and Gallery in Plattsburgh will host a performance by Jay Arner and Adrian Aardvark on Oct. 15. Jay Arner is a Vancouver-based synth-pop performer. Adrian Aardvark is a local punk-pop group. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are on a $3-10 sliding scale, attendees are encouraged to pay what they can afford. ROTA will also hold an evening of poetry for domestic violence survivors on Oct. 21. Organizers of the event encourage attendees to bring an original piece of work written by themselves, or a loved one. Those who wish to read can also bring their favorite author’s poetry, verse, fiction or song. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Readings start at 7 p.m. For more information, visit facebook.com/rotagallery.

ELIZABETHTOWN – The Essex County Democratic Party Committee has re-elected Bethany Kosmider of Crown Point as its chairwoman. The committee held its organizational meeting recently at the Hand House in Elizabethtown, where executive committee members and delegates were voted in with little change. Kosmider received a unanimous vote to remain chairwom-

an, as did Margaret Bartley of Elizabethtown as vice chair. Secretary Peter Hahn of Ray Brook and Treasurer Bruce Pushee of Elizabethtown both received re-election as well. Sergeant at Arms Sue Abbott Jones of Saranac Lake stepped down, and Claire Touby of North Elba will be the new sergeant at arms for the group. The organization picked up five new members, making a total of 37 to represent all 18 towns in Essex County. The representatives to the State Democratic Committee will be Sue Montgomery Corey of Minerva and Mark Whitney from Schroon, the Democratic Essex County Board of Elections commissioner. The group said its mission is to elect Democrats to county-

wide offices, and to support local, county, statewide and national Democratic candidates, and that is the standard by which the committee operates, Kosmider said. “As the fastest growing party in the county, we work to bring issues to the forefront that affect people within Essex County and northern New York,” she said. The party seeks and supports candidates for various offices, helps find candidates to work as election inspectors for the Board of Elections, and donates money to help candidates, Kosmider said. This year’s slate of candidates have received full support from the County Democratic Party: Mark Powers for State Supreme Court justice, Mike Derrick for U.S. House of Representatives, and Hillary Clinton for president.

TICONDEROGA

New destination for weddings in Lord Howe Valley By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – Couples looking for a unique and scenic setting for their wedding may have it in The Barn at Lord Howe Valley in Ticonderoga. The new destination is located off Route 9N on the hill behind Five Nations Golf in a secluded setting surrounded by trees and mountains. Barn coordinator Sarah Latchford said the location was chosen for its natural beauty. “It’s a gorgeous view of the valley,” she said. “My sister got married here and it was spectacular.” Kelsey Carpenter and Mike Lorusso were married at The Barn in September They have two outside locations, a stone patio and a grassy area, available to hold the ceremony at, or couples can chose any spot on the grounds. “The outdoor wedding industry has become popular,” Latchford said. “You can have a formal or an informal feel. A lot of couples are looking for a unique venue to get married in.”

The Barn is located on a large parcel, so there’s plenty of room for activities. “When you rent it, you get it for the whole day, all 77 acres,” Latchford said. “We also offer lawn games, for something less formal. She said a former horse barn on the property has been converted to bridal and groom suites for the preparation. “They can get ready there,” she said. “If they want to follow the tradition of not seeing each other until the wedding, there’s another place at The Barn for the groom.” For props, old doors, barrels, censers, and other items are available. The barn includes tables and chairs, a dance floor, and a balcony and photo booth. “You bring in your own caterer,” Latchford said. “We have a designated area for that, and there’s a bar they can use.” She said they have some September and October 2017 bookings already. “We’re looking for next year bookings, some spring and summer, but mostly September and October,” she said. “People tend to plan their weddings a year ahead now. “We’d like to see local couples get married here and also

draw from outside the area,” she said. “We’re setting up appointments now for tours for couples.” The Barn at Lord Howe Valley is a seasonal venue, open May through October. They also have heating for The Barn, if it’s a cool fall day. The Barn’s address is 671 State Route 9N. Latchford can be reached at 321-4898, or on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ barnatlordhowevalley/.

community at-large. In Vermont, two reports have been made of clowns scaring children. Reports have also surfaced in the Capital District and across upstate New York. Sprague said the threatening clowns are copying each other and it has to stop. “Everybody feels the same way,” she said. “In Williston, the creepy clown was scaring kids at an elementary school. The children were terrified.” Williston Police cited a juvenile for disorderly conduct on Oct. 5 for menacing children dressed as a clown at the Howard Center’s Jean Garvin School. “The serious part is, it’s affected my business,” Sprague said. “I’ve lost jobs. Someone cancelled out.” Sprague said she’s a professional clown who abides by the clown code of ethics. “Clowns do not scare people,” she said. “It’s against the clown ethics. It’s bad for the children. It’s evil.” She said as a result of the problem, some communities have banned clown costumes for Halloween. Sprague posted a message on her Facebook page about the creepy clowns, in which she wrote: ”I am so sick and tired about everyone trying to make clowns look bad. “I have a passion for making people laugh and be happy.” She received calls from reporters for WCAX TV 3 and WVNY/WFFF TV 22/44, both of Burlington, Vt., who soon showed up to interview her. “It’s (the post) gone viral,” she said. “Last time I looked, 216 people had shared it, and their friends shared it. Then the TV crews were here. “That’s good. I want people to know clowns are not bad.” RIGHT: Cathy Sprague talks with children on the streets of Port Henry dressed as Penelope the Clown. Sprague is denouncing the bad press clowns are getting because of the nationwide surge in people dressed as creepy clowns. Photo by Lohr McKinstry

Trails << Continued from | p. 1

A route between Northville and Lake Placid could include an overnight stop in Long Lake and connect travelers to both the backcountry and frontcountry. And a Lake Placid-Keene route could include Newcomb, an experience that would allow participants to experience the Santanoni Preserve and McIntyre Tract. Possible networks, of course, also hinge on the progress of a state Department of Conservation recreation trail in the central Adirondacks and the future classification of Boreas Ponds. But each route would ideally begin and end in a community. “Instead of communities competing against each other, this connects communities,” Dadey said. Existing lodging, Drury said, would be utilized whenever possible. Organizers envision those services existing on a spectrum from “rustic to five-star,” from lean-tos and yurttype structures to places like the Hotel Saranac. Some could be full-service, while others may contain a small-but-dry sleeping space. “It’s got to be a quality service — it can’t be a yawner,” Drury said. Quality lodging, in part, is a key to success, he said. Other critical planks include world-class trails, public and private partnerships and dependable transportation infrastructure and services: If participants traverse from Point A to B, for instance, how do they get back to their vehicle? All of these questions will be hashed out during the hearings. Underpinning the proposed system are demographic

changes, both at home and shifting trend in global travel preferences. Walking remains a popular activity for the aging population, particularly family walks, which are growing in popularity. And internationally, foreign guests aren’t necessarily looking for high risk adventure, said the organizers, but are rather seeking authentic nature experiences that aren’t disorienting or stressful. Of course, challenges remain. Funding appears to be heavily reliant on state funds — the Department of State, who awarded them a $50,000 grant last week, is currently bankrolling the effort — and the organization needs more torchbearers to help champion the project. Local leaders said they were optimistic. “Anytime that you can find something to attract tourism to the area, there’s going to be a benefit to town,” said Saranac Councilman Jerry Delaney, a member of the project’s advisory committee. If guests like what they see, they may relocate here, Delaney said, which would have the additional benefit of services springing up within the community and saving residents a trip to Plattsburgh. “I’m excited about it,” said Indian Lake Supervisor Brian Wells. “This is a novel idea.” Offering guests the ability to stay overnight on state land, he said, is one of the reasons why he can support limited state land acquisitions. But Wells also cited concerns about access. It may be difficult, for instance, to ferry in supplies to campers if roads do

not allow motorized vehicles, or if the land is privately owned. The project must also hash out the legalities governing the construction of enclosed structures on state land, the supervisor said. “Are we going to be allowed to put a yurt on state property?” Wells asked. “There’s got to be some give and take.” The ACTLS already has friends in high places. Former DEC commissioner Joseph Martens expressed delight over the proposal during its rollout in May. Collaborative efforts like these were among the brightest parts of his tenure leading the agency, he said. “It almost makes me wish I was commissioner again — but not quite,” Martens said. “It’s these types of projects that hold the key to the future of the Adirondack Park.” ABOVE: The Adirondack Community-based Trails and Lodging System project aims to develop a series of trail networks across the region. Key locations will include lodging facilities at the end of a day-long trek, each with varying amenities. A series of workshops will be held across the Adirondack Park began on Oct. 11, and will conclude on Nov. 15 at Paul Smith’s College.

Crash victim goes to Applefolkfest Bill Hunsdon is out of the hospital and recovering after a bad wreck By Lohr McKinstry

IRONVILLE – Recovering crash victim William “Bill” Hunsdon made a surprise appearance at the Penfield Applefolkfest on Sunday and was soon swarmed by well-wishers. After being driven to the Penfield Homestead Museum event, the popular Crown Point farmer exited the car into a wheelchair, and was taken around by family member Fred Hunsdon. Bill Hunsdon, 80, was seriously injured in a Sept. 22 accident on Russell Street in Crown Point, near his home, and part of his right leg had to be amputated. He was crossing Russell Street on an all-terrain vehicle when a motorcycle driven by Yannig Tanguy, 41, of Crown Point slammed into the four-wheeler. Tanguy had minor injuries. Bill said he’s undergoing physical therapy now at Heritage Commons Nursing Home in Ticonderoga, but hopes to return home soon. “I’ve got a long ways to go,” he told the Sun. “I haven’t given up.” He was taken by helicopter from the Crown Point Central School athletic field to University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington after the crash. Initially in critical condition, doctors were not able to save his foot and part of his lower leg, where the point of impact was in the collision. He also had head and arm injuries, but is mending from those. “I’m not feeling that good, but I’m coming along,” Bill said.

“I feel better than I did.” He praised daughter-in-law Ada Hunsdon, a trauma nurse who lives near the accident site, for coming to his aid and stabilizing him until the ambulance arrived. Ada put a tourniquet on his leg to stop the arterial bleeding. “She saved me,” he said. “I’m fortunate she was there.” Ada’s daughter, Kelsey, a student in the nursing program at North Country Community College, also helped at the scene. A GoFundMe page set up by Ada had raised $8,240 for Bill’s expenses as of Oct. 9, more than double its goal. The site is at: gofundme.com/2qx2vrw. Bill’s wife, Joan Hunsdon, said his injuries could have been much worse. “We were very fortunate,” she said. “His head is fine.” Once his leg heals, doctors can fit Bill with a prosthesis, she said. Bill had three surgeries at UVM Medical Center after the accident, including a repair of his arm that involved putting in pins and a plate. Joan said they’ve put in a wheelchair ramp at the house and made other handicapped accessibility improvements for Bill. A new furnace also had to be installed at the house, since heat was previously provided by a wood stove Bill is no longer able to feed. People were excited that Bill was able to make the Applefolkfest, Crown Point Town Supervisor Charles Harrington said. “You could tell where he was at any time by the crowds around him,” Harrington said. Joan said the family wants to express its gratitude to emergency responders, friends, and the community. “They’ve been wonderful,” she said. “So many people have helped.”

The State Department of Health is backing the plan, Remillard said. “New York state is fully supportive of this plan to transform healthcare delivery in the Ticonderoga region, and has committed $9.149 million to fund the renovation project,” Remillard said. “There is still a great deal of planning ahead, but we are very excited about finalizing those plans.” Officials said the plan doesn’t include any layoffs, but will eliminate the hospital’s 15 in-patient beds to use the space for the reconstruction.

Game of the Week

New Sentinel ﬁeld leads to wins Soccer, football teams win home openers By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — It was, indeed, welcome home for the Ticonderoga girl’s varsity soccer and varsity football teams. After a season on the road, the two squads got the chance to open the new Sentinel Field, complete with new track and field area, stands and all the bells and whistles. The new field, part of a Capital Project which covers both Ticonderoga Elementary/Middle and High School, offically made its debut Wednesday, Oct. 5, as the Lady Sentinels scored a 5-4 win over perennial soccer power Chazy. “The girls were elated to get back on Sentinel Field this year,” head coach Tina Russell said. “Plus it was their Senior Night. Chazy has always had a good team, but the girls knew if they played hard and worked as a team they could beat them. It was nice to have a lot of support in the bleachers. They were beyond excited when the final buzzer went off and we had won the game.” Two days later, the Sentinel Football team had their first game on the field, combining the night with Senior Night, Homecoming and Hall of Fame inductions. In the end, the Sentinels scored a 28-14 win over Plattsburgh High. Jevyn Granger put himself in the record books as the first Sentinel to score a touchdown on the new field. In fact, he scored the first two as he ran for 143 yards. “It just got us pumped up,” Granger said about playing a home game. “This was great for the team and I think it brought the community together. This just felt really good.”

Brother Justyn Granger also had an impressive night, running the ball 25 times for 209 yards and a score. “Our father company worked on the field and it was senior night, so this was a very emotional night for us,” Justyn said. “I really wanted to play hard and do the best that I could.” Senior lineman Caleb Munson was also emotional. “I have cold chills just from you asking the question,” he said. “It feels good to finally be on our home field and to play as well as we did.” Munson and the line dominated the Hornets in the second half. In three possessions, the Sentinels had the ball for 20:23 of the 24 minutes played. “We knew that was the plan,” Justyn Granger said. “We knew exactly what we were going to be doing. Evan (Graney) would be running back from coach with the play and Caleb would tell us what it was before Evan got in the huddle.” “We played a really good first half, overcame penalties and wore them down,” coach Scott Nephew said. “We knew we wanted to control the ball in the second half and we did, because we knew they were a homerun offense, and they proved that by scoring a touchdown in the time (3:37) they had the ball.” Evan Graney scored the other Sentinel touchdown on a 37 yard run, finishing with 43 rushing yards. The Sentinels will hit the road for the final week of the season to play Peru Saturday, Oct. 15, at 1:30 p.m.

VikingsÊ fallÊ toÊ RedÊ Storm SARANAC LAKE — In a battle of two of the top quarterbacks in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference, both Will Coats and Dylan Trombley had solid games, but each threw one ball to the other team. The key would be the timing of those interceptions. Emery Swanson would grab an interception for the Red Storm with less than 10 minutes remaining in the game, setting up Jarrett Ashton for a 21 yard scoring run which would give the Storm the 20-14 lead it would hold onto as Nick Woodward recorded a sack on the final play and get the Red Storm back in the win column. The Vikings got on the board first, as Brandon Hammond scored on a five yard touchdown to give the Viikings a 7-0 lead. The Red Storm responded eight minutes later, as Ashton ran the ball in from five yards out to tie the score. Moriah then took a 14-7 lead, responding in threeand-a-half minutes as Dewey Snyder scored on a 31-yard pass play from Trombley. The score would remain the same through halftime. Ashton would score his second of what would be three touchdowns in the game early in the third quarter, tying the score after running the ball in from 46 yards out. The game would go the next 12 minutes without a score before Ashton’s game-winner from 21 yards away in the fourth.

Ashton finished with 128 yards and three touchdowns. He was the only effective weapon in the Red Storm rushing attack, as the rest of the team totalled negative three rushing yards. Senior quarterback Will Coats went 13-of-29 for 115 yards and one interception, with top receiver Joe Viscardo catching six balls for 62 yards. For the Vikings, who held a 253-243 yards from scrimmage edge, Hammond finished with 101 rushing yards and the one score on 21 carries, while Trombley connected on 6-of-18 passes for 87 yards with a touchdown and interception. Dewey Snyder (31, TD), Connor Anderson (26), Ryan Flack (15) and Ethan Java (15) all had one catch for the Vikings. For the Red Storm (4-2), the win marked their first in the last three tries, having lost to Ticonderoga and Beekmantown in weeks four and five. The team will travel into the Champlain Valley to close out the 2016 regular season with a road game against Plattsburgh High (1-5), who lost to Ticonderoga last Friday. For the Vikings, who currently stand on a two-game losing streak to the Red Storm and Sentinels, the regular season finished with another top quarterback battle as Trombley and Moriah will host Dalton McDonald and AuSable Valley. Both games are set for 7:30 p.m. starts Friday, Oct. 14, in Plattsburgh and Mineville, respectively.

Brandon Hammond had 101 rushing yards for the Moriah Vikings, who were unable to hold a pair of leads against the Saranac Lake Red Storm last Saturday.

NY21: One debate down, two to go

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ALBANY — Candidates for New York’s 21st Congressional District met last week on the debate stage for the first time. But despite the increasingly-hostile tenor of the race — the campaigns trade broadsides almost daily in a three-way battle royale — the debate was relatively muted as each candidate outlined their views on the economy, foreign policy and tax reform. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is seeking to defend her seat against Mike Derrick, a retired army colonel from Peru, and Matt Funiciello, a Glens Falls bakery owner. TAX REFORM In the wake of revelations that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump filed losses of $916 million on his taxes, all broadly agreed tax reform is needed. Derrick called the system “rigged.” “Our entire tax code, corporate and personal, needs to be redone so that it accounts for these kinds of things and people pay their fair share,” he said. Stefanik said the current tax code was “riddled with special interest loopholes” and called for a “flatter, fairer, simpler tax code” that helps “pro-growth policies” while also helping working families. The freshman lawmaker said she was confident Congress would work with whoever is elected to the White House next month to embark on policy changes, including a proposal put forth by the House GOP last December. “I think a Republican Congress can make that happen no matter who is in the White House,” Stefanik said. Funiciello said the two major parties aren’t doing enough to expand the discussion. The candidate called for a 10 percent flat tax, and a wealth tax of 3 percent on those

with more than $10 million in assets. These themes, and their delivery, set the contours for the hour-long debate moderated by “Capital Tonight” host Liz Benjamin and Time Warner Cable reporters Matt Hunter and Brian Dwyer: Stefanik largely discussed her record and pointed at a broad list of accomplishments and policy proposals; Derrick offered general brushstrokes on the issues, and Funiciello reveled in blasting the two-party system for not going far enough with the policies he said are necessary to pull the nation back from the precipice.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Stefanik defended last year’s $63 million state-brokered deal that saw Alcoa retain 600 union jobs at their Massena aluminum plant through massive subsidies, citing the number of working families who would be effected by its closure. But to bolster the sagging economy at the federal level, the lawmaker pointed at the roadmap she has sketched out during her two-years in office. That includes working with Canada to strengthen transnational economic partnerships and workforce development efforts. Stefanik also referred to legislation like last year’s $305 billion highway bill as beneficial for the local economy. Derrick called for widespread infrastructure investments through a national infrastructure land bank. “We put in seed money from the federal government, and then we leverage private and public funds, and we create the capital that we need to invest in our country to bring back some of these towns, some of these rust belt towns that have fallen so far behind,” he said. Funiciello said: “They can talk about it, but they won’t do it,” referring to the major parties.

And he referred to the Alcoa subsidies as, “One of those big nice cardboard checks that politicians like to stand with as if they’ve actually done something. No you haven’t — you’ve just given welfare to a massive corporation,” he said. A better use of those funds, he said, would be their allocation to retraining efforts.

flipped on this under pressure,” Derrick said. “This is a contrast on what she says and what she has done.” “Mike clearly doesn’t understand the difference between TPA and TPP,” Stefanik shot back. “Mike Derrick actually had to correct his first campaign ad because he didn’t know the difference between TPA and TPP.”

TRADE Sparks flew in the otherwise mild debate when the candidates squared off on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the proposed trade pact between the U.S. and 11 other nations designed to keep China in check. “I would not have voted for TPA as Congresswoman Stefanik did,” Derrick said, referring to the fast-track authority that allows the administration to negotiate deals before they head to Congress. Derrick said the TPP is “unfair” and would put constituents at a disadvantage. Funiciello said free trade is “global wage slavery” and called Stefanik’s vote “unconstitutional.” “That’s fast-track, that’s not how things should be negotiated — not in secret, we live in a democracy,” he said. Stefanik said: “I don’t support TPP.” She added: “It’s clear that the TPP will not pass, and that’s because I’m a member of Congress and I’m one of the majority members and voices that said, ‘This is something that my district doesn’t support.’” Stefanik said she had reservations on how the legislation would address dairy provisions; environmental standards and currency manipulation. But it is still important that Congress has a vote in any future deals. On Derrick not supporting TPA, Stefanik said: “That means he doesn’t support fair trade and he doesn’t support congressional authority.” “If you vote to fast-track the TPP, it is logical that you then support it, and she has

VETERANS ISSUES Stefanik touted her efforts to aid the district’s veterans since taking office, including helping constituents reclaim $1 million in VA benefits and getting legislation passed to assist caregivers of wounded veterans. Wait time issues at the VA clinic continue to be a concern, she said, and more efforts should be made to harness technology and utilize local health providers. “I don’t support privatizing the VA. But I do think when you’re in a rural area, you need to give veterans the option to access care through the VA Choice Program, which was a bipartisan bill that passed in the previous Congress.” Derrick said he and his wife, also a veteran, have an ongoing relationship with the VA. “Access to care for those of us that are in rural areas is the key issue here,” Derrick said. The candidate called for enhancing community-based outpatient clinics to offer more services. Derrick also criticized Stefanik for voting for a recent appropriations bill that reduced expenditures for veterans programs. Stefanik said that vote was “well-funded.” “I will continue to vote in support of funding for the VA,” Stefanik said. Funiciello also criticized that vote, and said single-payer healthcare would remedy issues at the VA. “A lot of soldiers I talked to this past year are not particularly impressed with that decision, and are very upset,” Funiciello said. “It directly impacts a lot of real human beings.” — See more at suncommunitynews.com
