Effect of village dissolution remains unclear on Moriah budget Dissolution of Port Henry village has big impact on the town By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
MORIAH – Taxes in Moriah are likely going down, Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava says, but because of the dissolution of the Village of Port Henry no one knows by how much. Our primary job is to get a budget,” Scozzafava said at a recent Moriah Town Council meeting. “It’s not an easy thing, but we’re doing it right.”
The 2017 town budget is being worked out, he said, with help from the state comptroller’s office. “The Comptroller’s Office has been here twice,” he said. “They tell us we will probably get a waiver on the tax cap.” The Moriah Town Council passed a resolution to override the state tax cap, which the state hasn’t set for Moriah, Scozzafava said. “The State of New York does not have a clue what the tax cap will be because of dissolution,” the supervisor said. The base cap this year is 0.6 percent, but can differ town by town depending on various financial factors.
The village is slated to end its existence as a municipality on March 31, 2017, and the town will take over its functions. The town is getting state dissolution aid to help keep taxes down, as it pays for responsibilities that were previously those of the village. The town budget’s amount to be raised by taxes will probably total around $2.2 million. The 2016 town budget was $4.17 million, with a tax levy of $2.15 million. Once the town budget is adopted, the town plans to set the public hearing for 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 10. Town taxes for former village residents will
probably increase, Scozzafava said, because they’ll be paying the full town tax rate, instead of the reduced rate those living inside the village paid previously. But because there will be no more village taxes, former village residents will see an overall tax decline, Scozzafava said. He said the Essex County Real Property Tax Service estimated that on a home assessed at $105,000, their total taxes will drop by about $1,069. The reduced town tax rate for village taxpayers was because some services they received were also provided by the village. Many of those services will now be provided by the town.
GOPÊ Ô superÊ PACÕÊ dropsÊ $500kÊ intoÊ NY21Ê race
Ahead of final stretch, funds will be allocated to television commercials in the Watertown and Albany markets By Pete DeMola

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A “super PAC” backed by House Republicans announced plans to spend $500,000 against Mike Derrick in the final stretch of New York’s 21st District Congressional race. The independent expenditure will include television advertising in the Albany and Watertown media markets, the Congressional Leadership Fund announced on Friday. “In just two years, Elise Stefanik has delivered for her district and stood as a conservative, results-oriented leader in Congress,” said Ruth Guerra, a CLF spokeswoman. “Mike Derrick, on the other hand, vows to be another rubber stamp to the failed Obama-Clinton agenda that has left hardworking families behind.” The spending influx comes three weeks before voters head to the polls on Nov. 8, and is part of a $10 million package allocated last week to 15 congressional districts across the country, bringing CLF’s total announced general election spending to date to over $33 million in 29 districts.

Trekonderoga boosts economy by pumping in $340K By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA – A study shows the recent Trekonderoga “Star Trek” convention put $340,000 into the local economy. “The second ‘Star Trek’ and pop culture convention, Trekonderoga, held in Ticonderoga Aug. 12-14, was a big success,” said co-organizer Lance Clark of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance. “This year’s convention doubled the attendance of last year’s convention.” He said paid attendance at the event doubled from last year, to more than 600 people, with an additional 60-person volunteer staff helping with the convention. Clark said big hits again this year included tours of co-organizer James Cawley’s meticulously re-created sets from the original “Star Trek” TV series, pictures and autographs with stars from the original show who came to town, and special programs and presentations related to the 1960s show. Events for Trekonderoga were held at various locations in Ticonderoga, including the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour on Montcalm Street, North Country Community College Ticonderoga Campus, the Elks Lodge, High School and Bicentennial Park.

The Regional Office for Sustainable Tourism of Lake Placid has calculated the direct economic benefits to the Ticonderoga area from Trekonderoga, Clark said. He said the analysis is based in part on survey data from those who purchased their tickets online, and includes estimated expenditures for food, lodging and other purchases made by the attendees and staff. ROOST’s calculations are that the direct economic expenditures totaled more than $155,000. “This is more than double the amount ROOST calculated for the first Trekonderoga convention in 2015,” Clark said. “The convention also boosted area tourism by drawing in new visitors, with over 40 percent of the survey respondents saying that this was their first visit to Ticonderoga.” He said the convention generated substantial “ripple effects” through indirect economic impacts, such as purchases of additional supplies by local businesses, and other local spending. ROOST used a multiplier of 1.2 generated by similar events in the area, calculating the indirect impact at $185,000. “This gives an estimated total direct and indirect economic benefit to the area from Trekonderoga 2016 of approximately $340,000,” Clark explained. “Combined with the estimated direct and indirect economic benefits from the Trekonderoga convention last year, the two Trekonderoga conventions together have brought an estimated half million dollars in economic benefits to the Ticonderoga area from September 2015 through August 2016.” New events this year included free fireworks in the park, a costume contest, and an Elvis Presley tribute concert in the high school auditorium featuring Cawley, with part of the proceeds from the concert going to the Kiwanis BackPack program that provides nutritious food for qualifying elementary-school students. BackPack Program coordinator John Bartlett said they greatly appreciate the donation. “We’re doing a summer Backpack Program, because during the summer they’re (kids) not getting their free breakfasts and lunches at school,” he said. “Our program will replace that. “We’re filling two grocery-size plastic bags with food. They
also get a Stewart’s (Shops) milk card.” Bartlett said the summer segment of the program has been a success. “We wanted to make sure we didn’t shortchange our kids,” he said. “If they’re hungry and they’re distracted, they don’t learn.” There are 125 kids in the Ticonderoga program, and 235 in Moriah, Schroon Lake and Crown Point programs. The Trekonderoga conventions are a partnership between Cawley, the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, and the scores of volunteers who helped create the studio sets over many years and who also staff the conventions. Clarke said organizers want to thank those who supported the convention, including the town government, Highway Department and Police Department, Fire Department, college, Elks, Central School District office, St. Mary’s School, Sun Community News and the local businesses who provided special discounts during the convention.
James Cawley (second from right) gives John Bartlett of the Kiwanis Backpack Program the funds raised through Cawley’s Elvis Presley tribute show, which was part of Trekonderoga. Elvis show sold 322 tickets at $25 each and gave $5 of each to Backpack Program. The online survey and results calculated by the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism showed Trekonderoga had a significant economic impact on the area.

low draft boats, boaters launching larger, deeper draft boats may have difficulties on many waters, the DEC said recently. At Bartlett Pond, the water source for the Town of Moriah, the level is also very low. “We can ask people to conserve; we don’t need to go into a (water usage) ban at this point,” Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said at the latest Town Council meeting. The town flushed fire hydrants recently, but didn’t do every one, officials said, to conserve water.

TICONDEROGA – The low water level at the Ticonderoga Ferry Landing and adjacent State Boat Launch Site has forced the Ticonderoga-Shoreham, Vt. ferry to suspend operations. Ferry co-owner Alison Matot said the ferry shut down at the end of the day on Oct. 17 due to low lake levels. “We are sad to say that our season will be ending,” she said. “We are unable to run due to the low lake level. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.” The ferry is owned by Michael and Alison Matot, and normally runs from May through the end of October. But not this year. “It is terrible,” said Alison, who was the certified operator over the weekend. “I’m having a tough time landing and taking off (Sunday) with six cars on the barge.” The cable ferry operates on Lake Champlain between Ticonderoga and Shoreham, Vt.

Uncharted waters
e’ve witnessed the process g row i ng worse election by election, but clearly this year’s campaign has now reached new depths. Key factors that can corrupt even the most wellintentioned among us are all in play this year and they are affecting more than just those running for office. Politics, money, influence, power and sex are the tools that fuels that drive Washington, which is why we shouldn’t be at all surprised by what’s taking place. But this year, the media has chosen to further flex it’s unbridled power and influence to play a role in creating extra drama, as both sides have argued, tipping the scales of this election through their reporting or lack of reporting. Set party affiliation aside if you can for a moment. This election and the final two candidates have been in play for nearly two years. Nothing being revealed in the last few weeks about either candidate is new. It’s all old news. So why are these breaking news events occurring at this pivotal point? Forget fair and balanced. Forget your party affiliation and candidate choice. This is pure octane spiking of the news for obvious reasons. Perceived scandals are far more stimulating, plain and simple. If the national media with all their investigative crews, truly did it’s job all this “stuff ” would have come out long ago disqualifying these candidates and perhaps today we could be spending more time having conversations about the real issues that affect everyday Americans and the world. This whole mess has been so carefully choreographed if it were a movie, they would have a landslide victory at the Academy Awards, but unfortunately it’s real life and this election will affect millions, both in negative and positive ways, for perhaps years to come. Our Constitution calls on a free press to be the guardian of the people; to afflict the powerful and comfort the afflicted. Unfortunately, the national media has become far too influential and comfortable with the position they enjoy and are swayed by the flow of big money, much like our political system. Their first priority is driving sales and enhancing the cash flow. Their second priority is to insure that continues long after the

The Warren Country Bike Trail between Glens Falls and Lake George is a great place to get moving and be active
North Country ahead of healthy living curve thanks to local officials
W
e’re buoyed by the results of a national poll released last week that reveals a connection between communities built for active living and the health of their residents. According to Gallup, communities with the greatest investment in supporting active lifestyles yield residents who do “significantly better” in key aspects of well-being. The polling organization surveyed 48 communities nationwide. Residents in the five highest-ranked active living communities — including Boston, San Francisco, Chicago, New York City and Washington, D.C. — have on average significantly lower obesity and diabetes rates. Their blood pressure is lower. So are their cholesterol levels and rates of depression. Residents also report better exercise habits and lower levels of smoking than those living in communities with comparatively little active living infrastructure — things like parks, trails, bike paths and public transportation networks. While the cities surveyed are all urban areas, our very own small towns are making great strides in catching up with their more cosmopolitan counterparts. In fact, our North Country communities are actually at the forefront of this shift towards more healthy lifestyles as a result of the strategies pursued by our governmental agencies and their nonprofit counterparts. Essex County, for instance, recently wrapped up a five-year project designed to install healthy infrastructure in each town, including public gardens, walking paths, playgrounds and exercise equipment. Their hard work has been ensured to continue for the next half-decade through a new partnership with Clinton County that aims to promote healthy
A
eating and daily exercise in schools and communities, and to implement Complete Streets plans, or blueprints designed to improve walkability. At the same time, walking trails and fitness projects are blossoming in towns across Clinton County, from athletic efforts in Plattsburgh to a proposed river trail project in Saranac. And in Warren County, a bike trail from Lake George to Glens Falls has proven to be ever-popular. These folks deserve to be commended for their foresight and dedication to public health. The report shows that these developments are not mere fanciful concepts, but are projects that have resulted in tangible and concrete changes for the general public. But, as the poll notes, continued success can only be possible with the support of the entire community, from schools to retail outlets, employers and restaurants. That’s already happening here in the North Country, and we never fail to be amazed by the partnerships and collaborations we see moving forward on a daily basis. So let’s all pitch in to ensure our local communities remain at the forefront of this trend. The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau and Pete DeMola.

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.

lETTERS TO THE EDITOR
EssexÊ CountyÊ needsÊ aÊ tetheringÊ law To the Editor: In early 2015, the Essex County Animal Cruelty Task Force presented the Board of Supervisors with a comprehensive report on the state of animal cruelty in the county and a series of recommendations to address it, including a county law to restrict the chaining of dogs to a fixed object. As the Ways and Means Committee is poised to vote on the law a second time, there is a need to explain the necessity for this law and clear up any misunderstanding about its purpose and requirements. Studies have shown that tethering or fastening a dog for a prolonged period to a stationary object is inhumane and presents a threat to the safety and wellbeing of the dog. Tethers can injure dogs, become tangled and inhibit their access to food, water and shelter. Chained dogs cannot escape from extreme weather, predators or other threats to their safety. When a dog is tied or chained for long periods of time, its basic needs of companionship, freedom of movement and exercise are not being met. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Humane Society of the United States and ASPCA all oppose the practice of chaining or tethering dogs. Yet, current New York State law does not address tethering – at all. Right now, an owner can chain a dog for life and there is nothing anyone can do about it as long as adequate food, water and shelter are provided. However, while the state prohibits the county from passing laws related to most animal cruelty issues, tethering is one of the few exceptions to this rule. And that gives us an opportunity in Essex County to put an end to the suffering of dogs forced to live their entire lives – or a good part of it – at the end of a chain. We are asking the Board to act on this because tethering is a clear and present problem in Essex County, affecting nearly every town. In fact, most cases of cruelty to dogs investigated by the Sheriff ’s Office involve tethering. Overall, communities that pass tethering laws are safer for people and more humane for dogs. Dog bites, loose dogs and barking dog complaints decline significantly over time. Tethering laws also reduce animal cruelty complaints because they set clear expectations for pet owners and allow law enforcement to intervene before it is too late. The proposed law represents the collective efforts of local agencies in consultation with community members including animal care professionals. We have tried to be responsive to the needs of caring pet owners while ensuring that the law is enforceable. The proposed law: • Imposes a limitation on tethering of four continuous hours, eight hours total in any 24-hour period as long as the owner is on the property. • Prohibits tethering to a fixed point if the owner is not on the property. • Sets forth design requirements for safe tethers (e.g., no logging chains or choke collars). • Allows owners to confine a dog on an overhead run or in a dog enclosure (fence/kennel) for up to 12 hours in a 24 hour period, whether or not the owner is present. Exceptions are made for hunting dogs, agricultural working dogs and sled dogs. • Sets forth specifications for runs and enclosures as well as for crates and kennels used for the purpose of temporarily confining or transporting working dogs. • Establishes penalties for failure to comply, including a graduated schedule of fines for repeat offenders. Monies collected from paid fines will be dedicated to animal protection education, enforcement and/or for the maintenance of an animal abuse registry if one is established in the future. We want to stress that the goal is to keep dogs with their owners, while ensuring that they receive proper care. The primary responsibility for enforcement of the law is with the Sheriff ’s Office. The State Police, local police and town animal control officers may enforce the law but are not required to. Law enforcement will act with discretion and evaluate every situation to decide the best course of action. Every step we take to end the abuse of animals in Essex County is also a win for its residents as animal cruelty is strongly associated with domestic violence, child abuse and other violent crimes. When we protect the vulnerable among us, we improve the quality of life for all. Kristy Sprague, Essex County District Attorney Richard H. Cutting, Essex County Sheriff Major John H. Tibbitts Jr., Troop B Commander, New York State Police Jessica Hartley, Executive Director, North Country SPCA Diane Dodd, DVM
GreenÊ PartyÊ Ô dependentÊ onÊ signageÕ To the Editor: (In response to “Sign thefts a troubling sign of the times,” by the Sun Community News Editorial Board, Oct. 8 edition of the Valley News Sun.) As one of the volunteers putting out signs for the Green Party, I have noticed the sign theft issue.
Alexander
COMMENTARy However, I disagree with the suggestion of banning signs for the following reasons: As we are all aware, “corporate funded” vs “people supported” is a major issue this year from local to national levels. As the only party not receiving corporate funding, the Green Party is very dependent on signage and the social media for getting the word out. Matt Funiciello is well known and loved as owner of Rock Hill Bakery whose goods are available from Oscar’s Smoke House to the Main Street Ice Cream Parlour. His record of community involvement in Glens Falls is well known. Barkenhagen and Ruzbacki are also fairly well known in the local area. However, candidates like Robin Laverne Wilson (running against Schumer for US Senator) or even Dr. Jill Stein (running as President) are not even known by many people. This is because a “people supported” campaign cannot afford expensive ads in papers, radio and TV. I thank anyone respecting the Green Party signs. We are proud to say that we put the signs up and take them back down. Thank you to the Sun for the great job you are doing for local candidates. Anna Busser Chestertown
MichelleÊ ObamaÊ isÊ aÊ hypocrite To the Editor: When my two boys were growing up, I told them there were three things that I did not want them to be: lawyers, politicians or reporters. I went on to tell them it would be okay if they were pimps — at least that is an honorable profession. Now this should give you some idea how high a regard I hold these other positions in. This week, my ideas about these were reinforced with Michelle Obama’s speech. I am not going to defend Trump’s speech or what he might have done. But I find it funny that Trump’s possible actions send Michelle into a tailspin of despair. But she has no problem supporting the enabler of a sexual predator. If Trump had done in the oval office what Clinton did, now that would be called it rape. But the democrat just got a wink and a nod. Now don’t think that I expect anybody in the lame stream media to step up and do the honorable thing and call Michelle what she is. The word you would be looking for if you had any honor is “hypocrite.” With what I have heard from the media about Michelle’s speech, none of you have any honor, just more evidence that it is okay for a powerful democrat to abuse women. Good job folks! Raynard Corrow Indian Lake
OneÊ voteÊ awayÊ fromÊ dictatorship? To the Editor: Note the quotation of Alexander Tayler in 1787 about the Athenian republic some 2,000 years prior: “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.” “The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: 1. From bondage to spiritual faith; 2. From spiritual faith to great courage; 3. From courage to liberty; 4. From liberty to abundance; 5. From abundance to complacency; 6. From complacency to apathy; 7. From apathy to dependence; 8. From dependence back into bondage. The blindness of voters is evidenced in the recent debate by the interest in Peyton Place more than the condition of the country. Consider this: Obama has compromised the Supreme Court. The Judiciary Branch and the Attorney General are under the directive of the Executive Branch now. You’ve seen the actions of the IRS in recent events. You’ve watched the early retirement of many high military officers in recent years. We may be one vote away from dictatorship. Vote wisely. Remember always it is God who places rulers and kings. God has his program and this portion is nearing completion. Next phase soon to start. Look into God’s program for your own wellbeing. The USA is not found as a player in end time events in the Bible.

election with those in control of Washington. At the end of the day, we are all afflicted with the human condition. We all have flaws and are prone to give in to those flaws along the way. Those in power and with financial security are even more at risk to be swayed to use their powerful influence for their own advancement. This country was built on the premise that we could avoid these traps by keeping the power with the people. We have allowed ourselves to be manipulated and we are headed for trouble if we don’t turn things around very soon by demanding truth, accountability and limit the powerful from owning the upper hand.

Wikileaks and the media Proof of collusion Rick Jensen Columnist
S
tunning. Is there a more relevant word for describing the Wikileaks proof of collusion between members of the national media and the Hillary Clinton campaign? There’s no surprise that the Hillary campaign colluded with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to demean, disgrace and defeat Bernie Sanders. What may (or may not) surprise many Americans is that “journalists” in the national media also colluded with the Hillary campaign. Hillary was given debate questions in advance. Imagine a reporter investigating Hillary and the DNC’s questionable campaign fundraising tactics and then asking that campaign if they would like to edit the story before the reporter’s editor sees it. That’s exactly what one email proved Politico, reporter Ken Vogel did. He emailed his story with the subject line, “per agreement... any thoughts appreciated,” to Mark Paustenbach, Deputy Communications Director for the DNC. Paustenbach forwarded it to Luis Miranda, Communications Director at the DNC. “Vogel gave me his story ahead of time/before it goes to his editors as long as I didn’t share it. Let me know if you see anything that’s missing and I’ll push back.” Collusion. Another email titled “WaPo Party” exposed the, Washington Post, planning a secret fundraiser with the DNC. “They aren’t going to give us a price per ticket and do not want their party to be listed in any package we are selling to donors,”, wrote Anu Rangappa, Senior Advisor for General Election Strategies for the DNC. Jordan Kaplan, National Finance Director for the DNC, replied, “Great - we were never going to list since the lawyers told us we cannot do it.” The lawyers told them they could not do it. Just because this story isn’t front page news doesn’t mean it isn’t one of the biggest scandals in this election. It is. Haim Saban is a major Clinton donor. Wikileaks proves that in 2016, he received an email praising the Hillary-friendly moderators in the March Democratic primary co-hosted by Univision. This email was from Rob Friedman, retired co-chair at the Motion Picture Group. This email reveals moderators Karen Tumulty, Maria Elena Salinas and Jorge Ramos as players in roles written by Friedman and Saban, designed to promote Hillary over Bernie Sanders. This is the dark hole of soul-sucking depravity that is the root cause of American distrust of the national media. If the goal of journalism is honest, unbiased reporting of facts, then shouldn’t those reporters revealed to be colluding with the Clinton campaign meet the same employment fate as the disgraced Dan Rather did with CBS?

Distinguished Young Woman program starts Rehearsals are underway for the Ticonderoga Scholarship Program By Lohr McKinstry

TICONDEROGA – Rehearsals are underway now for eight seniors at Ticonderoga High School in the Distinguished Young Woman of Ticonderoga Scholarship Program. For more than 50 years, young women at Ticonderoga High School have had the opportunity to participate in the program, Program Director Tracey Cross-Baker said. The showcase event, formerly known as America’s Junior Miss, aims to celebrate the leadership, scholarship and talent of young women today, she said. “For the Class of 2018, their chance to shine will come at the next local program,” she said. The event will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Ticonderoga High School auditorium. All seats will be $7 and the doors will open at 6:15 p.m. “Distinguished Young Women is a national scholarship program that inspires highschool women to develop their full, individual potential through a fun and transformative experience that culminates in the celebratory showcase of their accomplishments,” CrossBaker said. “At local, state, and national levels, the evaluation process includes a review of scholastic information and panel interview prior to the competition. The final three categories – group fitness, individual talent, and group self-expression – are presented on stage at the program.” She said that as one of only five local programs across the state, the Ticonderoga event has provided an opportunity for more than 400 young women to participate and awarded more than $200,000 in scholarship monies.
For the Class of 2018, the eight young women participating will share in more than $2,000 in scholarship awards. The overall winner selected at this program will then represent Ticonderoga at the New York state finals in the Albany area in July 2017.

The Ticonderoga Historical Society will detail how the Irish invented it By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA – For anyone who even wondered who created Halloween, or All Hallows Eve, the Ticonderoga Historical Society has the answer. A free public program entitled “How the Irish Invented Halloween” will be presented by the Ticonderoga Histori-
cal Society on Friday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Hancock House on Moses Circle. Traditional refreshments will be served, and program presenter Diane O’Connor invites everyone to attend the family-friendly program in costume. “This is one of the final programs in our Irish-themed exhibit schedule for this year,” said Historical Society President William Dolback. “It offers an entertaining and informative look at the origins of our popular Halloween traditions.” Halloween represents the Celtic New Year or Samhain, Dolback said, and was
an important celebration on the Celtic calendar. Advance reservations are not required, and additional information can be obtained by contacting the Ticonderoga Historical Society at 585-7868 or via email at: tihistory@bridgepoint1. com. “The Historical Society makes area history an integral part of community life by connecting past and present,” Dolback said. “We think everyone will find this Halloween program very interesting.”

Eighth-grade students at St. Mary’s School in Ticonderoga attended the Inaugural Youth Empowerment Summit at the Angell College Center at Plattsburgh State University recently. Along with other 7th through 12th graders from throughout Clinton and Essex counties, the students learned the importance of kindness, acceptance and unity in personal interactions with others. Keynote speaker Tom Bull, through his own life story of negativity turned to success, explained to students how an attitude of support from others brought him around to a joyful appreciation of life and a new look at the world around. He encouraged the students to take on this approach in their own schools, to make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of others, leaving a positive legacy. Photo provided

SMS Gift shoeboxes give hope of better life Students at St. Mary’s School and others are helping other children By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA – Alina Aisina was a five-year-old child living in Central Asia when she was handed a gift-filled shoebox sent by children in the United States. The shoebox gave her hope of a better life, Aisina, now 19, told students at St. Mary’s Catholic School in Ticonderoga recently. It started Aisina on a heartwarming journey from the Asian nation where she grew up to her current home in Lafayette, Indiana. “I remember being a little girl with a shoebox and realizing that God loves me,” Aisina told the St. Mary’s students sitting around her in the school gymnasium. “It’s amazing how the right shoebox goes to the right kid. You have to trust God. “For a lot of the kids this is the only gift they will ever get.” She suggested St. Mary’s students pack toys, school supplies, and hygiene items in the boxes, even small tools. “You’re five years old and you’re already impacting lives around the world,” Aisina said. “Don’t let anyone tell you you’re too young or too little to change the world. We serve a great God.” The shoeboxes are distributed by the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child project, and national collection week is Nov. 14 through 21. Samaritan’s Purse spokesman Lucas Zellers said anyone can participate in Operation Christmas Child by calling (419) 236-9318, or by visiting samaritanspurse.org/occ. “St. Mary’s School will be the first stop on a journey across the world for thousands of gifts packed by local residents,” he said. “The boxes are then prepared and delivered to children overseas using whatever means necessary, boats, airplanes, trains and even elephants.” Zellers said the nation where Aisina was born was oppressed. Central Asia consists of the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan. “Having been raised in a Christian home in Central Asia, Aisina was subjected to much opposition for placing her faith

in Jesus,” Zellers said. “When she was five years old, she was invited to an underground church, where she received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift wrapped in beautiful paper. Unaccustomed to ever receiving gifts, Aisina realized the sacrifice that had been for her. The gift reminded her that she was deeply loved and she was not alone.” At some point, Aisina and her family were able to move to the United States. “We live in a country where we’re very blessed,” she told St. Mary’s pupils. “It’s more rewarding to be on this side and pass the shoebox, and know the God we serve loves us. I felt I should share that love.” So she’s going around the country, telling her story and trying to get everyone she can to pack a shoebox. Pam Arzberger, the Operation Christmas Child coordinator at St. Mary’s, said the school is in its fourth year of the shoebox program, and usually prepares 70 to 95 boxes each year. “This is really a good program,” she said. “The kids love it. Everybody likes to pack for the 2 to 4 age.” Samaritan’s Purse local coordinator Terry Pilon said Mountainside Bible Chapel in Schroon Lake is also packing the
shoeboxes, as is the Ticonderoga High School Key Club. Pastor Skip Trombley of Lakeside Regional Church in Ticonderoga and Hague said they’re sending shoeboxes as well. “We hold a packing party,” he said. “People have been buying things (for the boxes). We do this every year and it’s growing.” Zellers said Samaritan’s Purse is an international Christian relief and evangelism organization, headed by Franklin Graham, in Boone, North Carolina. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 135 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 150 countries and territories. “The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world,” Zellers said. Alina Aisina (in red T-shirt) talked with students at St. Mary’s School in Ticonderoga about the gift-filled shoebox she received as a child living in Central Asia. Asina now visits schools all over the country to tell her story and ask them to pack shoeboxes. Photo by Lohr McKinstry

Breakthrough in Cuba/U.S. relations offers new world of art
T
his week in 1962, this nation was in the throws of the Cuban Missile Crisis. According to history.com, the world was poised at the brink of a nuclear conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. In America, many citizens began building or replenishing bomb shelters, waiting anxiously to see if the Soviet Union would use nuclear missiles to attack the United States from Cuban soil. Now, 54 years later, relations between the United States and Cuba are finally being normalized, with the U.S. government announcing on Oct. 14 that further measures would be taken to ease trade, travel and financial restrictions. Not only does this mean that Americans can now legally bring more of Cuba’s famed goods — cigars, rum, etc — back to the U.S., but it opens up new opportunities for Americans to learn more about Cuba’s art world.

Essex County: Expect 5% tax hike next year Budget planning still underway; tentative tax increase comes as county nears end of fiveyear fiscal plan By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is making progress on hashing out next year’s tentative spending plan. Taxes will almost certainly increase next year. “We’re in the 5 percent neighborhood,” Essex County Manager Dan Palmer told lawmakers on Monday. But the increase is expected. Essex County is now in the fourth year of a five-year plan implemented to course correct their finances, which were teetering on insolvency after years of reliance on their fund balance.
Lawmakers have been holding budget workshops for much of this month. One giant question mark is the annual renewal process of employee health insurance policies. Palmer estimated a 10 percent increase in premiums, but hopes that can be whittled down to 7 or 8 percent depending on how discussions with four different providers play out. “So we will have four quotes to look at to see where we are in terms of that,” Palmer told lawmakers on Monday. Health insurance “experience ratings” are complicated, Palmer said, and rates and premium renewals are driven by shifts in the Affordable Care Act and state tax surcharges, among other variables. “Health insurance gets to be really complicated when you go to the experience rate,” Palmer said. “But hopefully, we’re looking at that 7 to 8 percent range.” Additional details will be available next week after the
county’s purchasing manager returns from vacation. “We have to file by (November) 15th, which we fully intend to do,” Palmer said. The county is right where it needs to be following the fiveyear plan, Palmer said, and the county’s reserves have returned to a “more acceptable level.” “We’ve managed to go from nearly a $7 million deficit to a healthy fund balance. How we choose to use that moving forward makes a big difference,” Palmer said. “Hopefully next year, we’ll be at 2 (percent),” Palmer said of the projected tax increase. The state tax cap doesn’t make planning easy for municipalities, he said. “The 2 percent is never 2 percent,” he said. “This year, it’s .6 percent.” Essex County’s 2016 spending plan clocked in at $96.5 million, with a 6 percent increase in the tax levy.
County authorizes mold remediation at nutrition kitchen Plans still underway to construct a new kitchen, but removal must happen regardless, says county By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County lawmakers tentatively approved a pair of measures on Monday to propel remediation on the senior meal nutrition kitchen forward. The Department of Public Works Committee authorized up to $25,000 for the purchase of a new cooler, and up to $20,000 to remediate mold issues. Remediation is expected to take about a week, said Dan Palmer, the county manager. A state Department of Health inspection last spring revealed code and ventilation issues at the current site on Court Street in Elizabethtown.
County officials have determined the construction of a new building would be the most cost-effective solution compared to a full remediation, which was projected to cost $500,000. Initial costs for a new structure are pegged at $1.3 million. So far, the county has accrued about $500,000 in state grants. An additional $500,000 has been peeled from their forestry account. The county said the mold removal is necessary regardless of the building’s future, whether it used for storage or torn down at a later date.
“It’s always going to be there, and an issue that needs to be addressed at some point,” Palmer said. The coolers will be used while the county mitigates the mold issue, and will be stored outside. With fees from $2,500 to $3,000 per month, renting a cooler is also cost-prohibitive, Palmer said. “It seems like a crazy amount of money to spend.” Lawmakers previously authorized going out to bid for specs for a new building, but scrapped the submitted proposals last month. Deputy County Manager Mike Mascarenas
said the county will reopen the process. “We are going to go out to bid again,” Mascarenas said on Monday. A new building would be constructed on either the current site or the county-owned fairgrounds in Westport, Palmer said. The kitchen prepares 1,400 meals daily, which are sent to the county’s 14 meal nutrition sites. Essex County lawmakers authorized up to $25,000 for the purchase of a new cooler, and up to $20,000 to remediate mold issues at the senior meal nutrition kitchen. File photo

CROWN POINT
Crown Point gets budget down, will be at tax cap The 2017 proposed Crown Point town budget is at the tax cap By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
CROWN POINT – The proposed Crown Point town budget holds taxes at the state cap. “We had to make some cuts to stay under the cap,” Crown Point Town Supervisor Charles Harrington said. “A budget is always
a best-guess document. But it’s under the cap.” Crown Point’s state tax cap was 0.6 percent for 2017, and the budget’s tax levy came in just slightly under that. The 2017 budget totals $1.12 million, up from $1.18 million last year, with $920,445 to be raised by taxes. The separate Crown Point Fire District tax rate dropped from $1.38 per $1,000 of assessment to $1.36. That budget is set by a Board of Fire Commissioners, not the town.
A grand opening celebration was recently held for Crown Point Redemption Plus in Crown Point. Present were representatives from Crown Point Redemption Plus, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce staff and ambassadors, as well as community members and business representatives. Chamber Executive Director Matthew Courtright is holding ribbon at left, while Chamber Member Representative Molly Bechard has the right end. Crown Point Redemption Plus is located at 2615 Main St. in Crown Point, and is owned by Gary Varmette of Crown Point (with giant scissors). The center offers a full service redemption center in a completely renovated space. Wood, propane, ice, snacks, soda, and water are also available for purchase. Bottles and cans can either be dropped off (with name and contact information) and picked up later, or customers can wait while the staff sorts and counts. Photo provided
The town tax rate, including water and fire districts, is projected to increase by 2 cents, Harrington said, from $8.79 per $1,000 of assessment, to $8.80 for 2017. The budget uses $50,000 each in unexpended fund balance for both general fund and Highway Department budgets to reduce taxes. Harrington said the budget gives 2 percent pay raises to town employees and elected officials.
The Town Council was scheduled to adopt the budget on Oct. 20. Harrington said the board may tweak the spending plan before final passage. The public hearing on the budget is at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 10, with the board slated to vote on the budget at the meeting to follow. “I think it’s (the budget) going to be all right,” Harrington said. “We did a lot of work on it.”

Gillibrand pitches plan to close broadband gap Legislation joins initiative to fully wire state by 2018 By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) wants to double the amount of federal broadband program funding and boost the amount of grants for underserved areas inside the Adirondack Park. “Our communities cannot compete if they do not have access to high speed internet,” Gillibrand said last week in Plattsburgh. Gillibrand introduced legislation last month with U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore (R-WV) to double annual funding for a federal
Department of Agriculture broadband infrastructure program from $25 million to $50 million. The senator also pledged to increase in rural and high-need areas the amount of grants possible from 50 percent to 75 percent of a project’s cost. The lack of broadband, she said, leads to a competitive disadvantage for residents, health care providers and businesses, and is just as important as roads and electricity. But it’s often cost-prohibitive for providers to expand into rural areas, where expansion costs escalate during the “last mile” of construction. Gillibrand was joined by local service providers and elected officials, including Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, who likened broadband to oxygen. “If you don’t have it, you’re gasping for life,” Hochul said. Gillibrand’s proposed bill does not yet have a House sponsor. But if one is found, and the Senate passes the legislation, the funds would immediately be made available. “If we could pass it this year, it would be available right away,” Gillibrand said. STATE EFFORTS The proposed legislation joins the state’s New NY Broadband Program, which seeks to fully wire the state by the end of 2018 through a mix of public and private financing. “We are absolutely on track to achieve that,” Hochul said. “A lot of other states are going to be far behind us, they’re not going to have achieved that goal by 2018.” The most recent grant funds for that program were announced in August when $6.2 million was awarded to four telecommunications firms, allowing for what the state said would connect 134,000 additional homes and businesses. A second round will address additional unserved and underserved homes and businesses, while the third and final phase of the program, designed to close out any remaining areas, is scheduled to launch in early 2017, according to the governor’s office. Westelcom CEO James Forcier said his firm applied for some of that funding. If awarded, he said the funds would allow the opportunity to revisit places in their current service area with low speeds
and bulk up that infrastructure with fiber, which would improve the service. The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, through their firm Mohawk Networks, recently completed a $15 million broadband project that laid 68 miles of fiber to serve Akwesasne residents. A subsidiary, North Country Broadband, is currently deploying fiber in Lewis County by leveraging existing structures of 911 towers Additional state and federal funds would allow the provider to expand their test markets. “We will be seeking similar test customers in your market, and we will be happy to provide the much-needed internet to the folks who are not getting it right now,” said Director of Economic Development Christopher Thompson. Slic Network Solutions has been one of the top recipients of state and federal grant funds, deploying numerous projects across Essex, Hamilton, St. Lawrence and Franklin counties since 2010, including Schroon, where work is currently underway after years of delays. Financing is just one hurdle among others, said Slic Vice President of Technical Operations Kevin Lynch. Weather poses a challenge during the installation process, as does selling the packages once the infrastructure has been installed. “It takes some education, and it takes some outreach to understand the benefits broadband brings to them,” Lynch said. PrimeLink CEO Greg MacConnell cited regulations and red tape, including those governing wetlands. “It’d be great if we could lessen some of those,” he said. U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand introduced legislation last month to double annual funding for a federal broadband infrastructure program from $25 million to $50 million.

White Cane Awareness Day celebrated in Elizabethtown Annual event designed to bridge awareness gap between visuallyimpaired, sighted residents By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — The group moved slowly down Hand Avenue, their white canes making wide, uncertain arcs on the sidewalk. Moving two-by-two, they unsteadily traversed several hundred yards, stopped and made their way back. Amy Kretser urged the group to relax. “Every once in awhile, shake your shoulders,” Kretser said. Pay attention to sound and feeling. Stay on the left. Be alert. And don’t look down. “The cane allows you to get information so you’re not looking at your feet,” Kretser said. The goggles came off, and their sight immediately returned. The group buzzed. The simulation was part of National White Cane Awareness Day, the annual event designed to shine light on those who are visually impaired. JUST LIKE US Participants used special goggles that simulated the common eye diseases that cause blindness, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Ninety to 95 percent of white cane users have some vision, said Eileen Brennan, a mobility specialist with the North Country Association for the Visually Impaired, the nonprofit that helped coordinate the event. Brennan helps folks get reacclimated after suffering vision loss. “Visually impaired people are just like us,” she said. Folks can have one of these issues, or multiple ones.
“It’s complicated.” In fact, most people probably work with visuallyimpaired people right now and don’t even realize it thanks to the training and services provided by the Plattsburgh-based organization, including adaptive technology and transportation services, Kretser said. Teaching people how to properly use canes is one of the most important ways people who are blind maintain their independence, said Kretser, who serves as the nonprofit’s executive director. Training includes obeying traffic laws and becoming familiar with their routes. But awareness on both sides is paramount to ensure both drivers and pedestrians are safe. “Not all drivers and bikers are aware that the white cane indicates the person using it is blind or visually impaired,” Kretser said. Many are quick to turn right on red or make lefthanded turns onto one-way streets not realizing that a person crossing with a white cane doesn’t necessarily see the traffic coming, said Kretser. The simulation, while brief, was illuminating for the participants, including Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague. Sprague said she was nervous, but took solace in its temporary nature. “What about the person who is going to be living with this forever?” she said. “I had a tree jump out at me,” said Laurie BoothTrudo, who said the experience helped her to empathize with several vision-impaired family members who recently underwent orientation training. Others noted how much more energy and concentration was required, and their newfound reliance on other senses, including hearing and scent. NCAVI held the event in conjunction with the United Way of the Adirondack Region, which aids the nonprofit in fundraising efforts. “It is a celebration,” said Kretser on the national event. “It’s not about how hard it is for people.”
The North Country Association for the Visually Impaired facilitated simulation as part of National White Cane Awareness Day on Oct. 14 in Elizabethtown. The white cane, say advocates, has become a symbol to the blind community honoring their achievements. Photo by Pete DeMola

Eagles fly into Moriah Center The Fraternal Order of Eagles moved from Ti to Moriah By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
MORIAH – The Eagles are soaring into Moriah. Not the noble raptors, or the rock band, but the Fraternal Order of Eagles civic organization. “We were in Ticonderoga for 16 years,” Eagles Trustee Betty Dolback said. “We were over the Knights of Columbus, but the 21 stairs we had to climb were getting to us.” So the group has purchased the former Moriah Center coin-laundry and carwash site and is renovating the singlestory building into Eagles Aerie #4410. She said most members of the group were from the Moriah area, and when they saw the former coin-operated laundry was for sale, they started checking into it, and ended up buying it. “On July 28, we started tearing out and revamping it,” Dolback said. “There’s more painting to do, but we hope to be done this week.” The Eagles have set their open house at the new building for 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29. The public is invited, and there will be light refreshments. Dolback said they’ve been getting help from the Moriah
Chamber of Commerce and President Cathy Sprague for their opening. “It’s going to go off thanks to Cathy,” Dolback said. “Our motto is ‘people helping people.’” She said the Eagles organization was founded in 1898, and the chapter in Ticonderoga began in 1904. The local Eagles have 95 members now, Dolback said, with 16 new members to be inducted soon. The Eagles do fundraisers for worthy causes, she said, including raising money for spinal cord injury, heart, diabetes and cancer research. They also hold benefits, visit nursing homes, and are holding a chicken barbecue fundraiser, she said. The Eagles are hosting a “Halloweenie” for kids at their new headquarters at 2287 Center Road in Moriah Center, with free hot dogs and hot chocolate from 3 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31. Officers of the group are President Ed “Bud” Dolback, Vice President Wayne Anderson, Past Worthy President Arnold LaFountain, Secretary Robert Bush, and Treasurer Charles McCaughin. Conductor is George Perry, Chaplain Donna Hall, Guard Mark Gregory, and Trustees Betty Dolback, Jack Hargett and Elaine Valvik. The group meets twice a month, and more information is available by calling 546-1000.

Essex County CCE chief to retire Franklin County’s Rick LeVitre will serve double duty as organization looks for new agriculture educator By Lohr McKinstry
lohr@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN – Longtime Essex County Cornell Cooperative Extension Director Anita Deming is retiring at the end of the year. On Jan. 1, 2017, Rick LeVitre, the executive director of Cooperative Extension in Franklin County, will assume the role of Essex County director as well, serving 1.5 days a week in that post. Meanwhile, the Cooperative Extension Board of Directors will search for a fulltime agriculture educator. Cooperative Extension Board President Jay White said splitting the duties held by Deming will save money and be more efficient. “At the end of this year, we are losing a really great director here in Essex County,” he told the Essex County Board of Supervisors recently. “We
are going to miss Anita.” The county funds Cooperative Extension as a contract agency. “We are going to reapportion our resources to better serve the people of Essex County,” White said. “We want to use those tax dollars to the benefit of the people of Essex County. “We feel that that full-time (agriculture educator) position in Essex County is necessary. We feel the executive director duties can be pared
down to about a 25 percent position. “This is a good fit for us,” White said. The Essex County Cooperative Extension Service will pay LeVitre 25 percent of his Franklin County salary. “He (LeVitre) will be here on a weekly basis,” White said. “He will do some work for us at his office in Malone as well.” LeVitre has been with the Franklin County extension unit for five years, and
worked in Vermont and Massachusetts before that. “At one time I managed four counties in extension,” LeVitre said. “I believe this is a great opportunity for both counties. There is a great need for shared services. There is duplication from one county to another in administration.” He said the split in duties will allow them to focus dollars on programs, not administration. “I believe extension still has a major role, even as extension has changed, as 4-H has changed,” LeVitre said. “I think this partnership is only going to be something that is workable, efficient and for the betterment of the area.” Essex County Cooperative Extension could have the agriculture educator position filled in January or February 2017, if the search starts soon, he said.

CLF and its sister organization, American Action Network (AAN), remain the single largest outside conservative spenders on the U.S. House. The two groups spent $20 million in independent expenditures on U.S. House races in 2014. RYAN: STEFANIK HAS MY ‘FULL SUPPORT’ The firehose comes as the GOP deals with the fallout following the release of a tape that revealed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump bragging about groping women. Since the leak of the tape and an acrimonious second presidential debate, Trump has been accused of sexual assault from at least nine women who have come forward. House Speaker Paul Ryan appeared to indicate the race was lost last week, and said his remaining priority would be to ensure Republicans retained the majority in the House. Stefanik worked with Ryan when she served as Policy Director for 2012 GOP National Convention Platform when Ryan was the party’s vice presidential candidate. Last week, the Wisconsin lawmaker posted a photo of himself with Stefanik on Twitter: “Elise Stefanik is part of a new generation of leaders who bring fresh ideas to Washington,” Ryan wrote. “She has my full support.” In addition to Derrick, a Democrat, Stefanik also faces a challenge from Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello. The Siena Research Institute announced last week they would not poll the district, citing a lack of resources, according to the Post Star. But a NRCC-commissioned poll released Monday revealed Stefanik led Derrick 54 to 29 percent. That same poll, conducted by American Viewpoint, found the lawmaker had a 55 percent approval and 27 percent disapproval rating; Derrick had a 28 percent approval and 19 percent disapproval rating. A Stefanik campaign spokesman declined to comment on if the district has been flagged by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) as one that may go blue. According to Sabato’s “Crystal Ball” forecast, Democrats need to gain 30 seats to flip the House. That report, published Oct. 13, said Democrats can expect to gain between 10 to 15 seats. “We do not yet know the implication that Donald Trump’s apparent weakening in the polls will have down the ticket, which is why this is an odd time to take a look at the House,” wrote Kyle Kondik. Another DC-area outlet, the Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report/Roll Call, has rated the race as “Safe Republican.” But Republicans aren’t taking any chances on the seat that Stefanik won by 19 points in 2014. “Our great fundraising allows us to spend more money than ever before to safeguard the strongest center-right majority possible in the House,” said Mike Shields, president of CLF and AAN, in a statement. “Expanding beyond the top competitive seats on the map, these latest ad reservations are challenging liberal spending in more districts and standing beside more strong conservative Members of Congress.” DERRICK HITS BACK The $500,000 spend caps off a week of non-stop criticism of Stefanik from the Derrick camp on her support of Trump. “Thanks to her unwavering support for Donald Trump, Elise Stefanik’s campaign is in a tailspin and now her backers in Washington are trying to bail her out,” said Drew Prestridge, a Derrick campaign spokesman. “Elise has been a part of the partisan establishment in Washington for more
than 10 years and it’s clear she’s cashing in all her favors now. If anything, this just underscores the fact that Elise is not the independent voice she claims to be.” Lenny Alcivar, a spokesman for the Stefanik campaign, fired back: “This isn’t complicated. The reason former Colorado Republican-turned-Democrat Mike Derrick has been abandoned by his own party is because he has no new ideas for the North Country,” Alcivar said. Alcivar continued: “In this election, Matt Funiciello is the Bernie Sanders candidate. Mike Derrick is the candidate who supports the Obama Administration’s dangerous deal with Iran, which makes us less safe.” “We remain confident that Elise is in the strongest possible position to win in November,” said Alcivar, citing the lawmaker’s efforts to promote economic growth “while protecting Fort Drum and North Country veterans.” The Stefanik campaign has largely avoided mention of Funiciello until this week, seemingly content to let him hammer away at Derrick. But Alcivar’s comments allude to the Stefanik campaign’s latest advertisement, which appears to try to siphon support from Derrick by reminding voters of the third-party candidate. “Which candidate for Congress is the real progressive?” intones the narrator. “Matt Funiciello, of course. He’s the green candidate for Congress.” Funiciello called the 30-second spot a “cynical effort.” “While these two candidates are selling each other like toothpaste on television, I don’t want to be a part of that,” Funiciello said. “The Republican in this race has frequently tried to use me as a pawn.” “This is one of the strangest, unconventional behaviors I’ve seen yet in 25 years of watching elections.” FUNICIELLO DECRIES ‘DARK MONEY’ The Green Party does not accept corporate contributions, and Funiciello has refused to accept corporate, PAC and special interest donations. The candidate has also been vocal in denouncing “dark money,” or the campaign donations given to LLCs and non-
profits which are then able to spend money on races without disclosing their donors. What’s even worse, said the candidate, is “gray money,” or spending by state super PACs that report other PACs as donors, making it nearly impossible to identify original donors. “Dark money is the latest sign that our democracy is rapidly turning into an oligarchy,” Funiciello said in a statement. “When money counts as speech, being able to give unlimited amounts skews an already broken system into a battleground for only the very top of the 1 percent.” Funiciello has called for full public financing of elections at all levels of government, and for enacting strict transparency laws that force campaign committees and PACs to disclose all of their donors. Funiciello has frequently assailed both Stefanik and Derrick as “corporate candidates.” “That means I’m the only candidate in NY21 that’s going to raise issues for the working class,” he said. Despite the lack of external polling, Funiciello said he believes his support in the district is surging: “The result of this election is no way predetermined,” Funiciello said. FUNDRAISING TOTALS Stefanik last week announced her campaign raised $618,000 in the third quarter, and now has $1.1 million cash on hand. Derrick announced $460,000 raised this quarter, and has over $360,000 current cash on hand. Through Sept. 30, the Stefanik campaign has raised a total of more than $2.8 million dollars for her re-election, more than doubling the $1.1 million reported by the Derrick campaign since he declared his candidacy last July. Information on Funiciello’s totals weren’t immediately available at the time this story went to print on Tuesday morning.
