Troopers, sheriff’s deputies graduate from Crisis Intervention Team training Advanced class designed to help ﬁrst responders recognize and respond to mental illness

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

LEWIS | People aren’t always at their best during encounters with law enforcement.

But while police may be dispatched to handle an incident, it isn’t always a law enforcement issue, but rather a mental health one. That’s the concept underpinning Crisis Intervention Team training.

Twelve members of the New York State Police and Essex County Sheriff ’s Office graduated from Crisis Intervention Team training on Friday, Nov. 17 at the Essex County Public Safety Building in Lewis, New York. Photo by Pete DeMola

Six state troopers and six Essex County sheriff ’s deputies graduated from the weeklong program last Friday at the Essex County Public Safety Building. “The purpose of this initiative is to enhance crisis intervention services by improving how the criminal justice and behavioral health systems identify and handle individuals experiencing mental health-related crises within our community,” said Essex County Director of Mental Health Steve Valley. People with specific behavioral health needs — including those grappling with substance abuse or mental illness — may not respond to police in a rational manner when engaged in a mental health crisis, explained said Don Kamin, director of the Institute for Police, Mental Health and Community Collaboration in Rochester. This can lead to unnecessary conflict with first responders.

“Nutmeg is an integral part of the plot,” Lerman said. “The theme of this one is kindness, the right thing to do toward your fellow man. “It’s a Christmas story, but no matter what religion you believe in, there’s something for everyone in the book.” Also an artist, she illustrates the books by hand, in watercolor. “I do everything, cover to cover, design, writing, illustration,” she said. Her home in the country, with its two white birch trees on the front lawn, gave her ideas, Lerman said. “That’s when Bartlettberry Briar began to seriously take shape,” she said. “The birch trees were the inspiration, followed by a particularly large squirrel who stops by.” She has a new publisher for this volume, Saratoga Springs Publishing, and the book is available at the Hancock House and from Amazon.com.

TICONDEROGA | Author Shaundra Bartlett Lerman’s beloved little squirrel, Peaches, is looking forward to Christmas. The happy young woodland creature stars in “It’s the Spirit of Christmas, Peaches,” a sequel to “Peaches Bakes a Pie.” Lerman, a Ticonderoga native, said she lets her characters write themselves. “I get the inspiration and write the story,” she said. “I make notes. But I don’t really plot it out in advance.” She’s in the process of writing a third Peaches story now, that will be out next year. The Christmas story just released adds a new character, Nutmeg, a baby mouse, to Peaches’ world in Bartlettberry Briar.

Lerman will do a reading and signing at the Black Watch Memorial Library in Ticonderoga at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 9. She’ll also be doing “A Very Merry Peaches” presentation at the Vermont Book Shop in Mid-

Fellowships offered at historic landmark

Fort Ticonderoga taking applications for graduate fellowships By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | Fort Ticonderoga is seeking applicants for its 2018 Edward W. Pell Graduate Fellowships for students seeking practical, hands-on experience at a historic site and museum with dynamic and transformative programs. “These fellowships for graduate students in museum studies, museum education, public history, American studies, or military history offer an opportunity to work side by side with our talented museum staff,” said Fort Ticonderoga President and Chief Executive Officer Beth Hill. “These fellows will focus their research and creative energy to support major projects, future exhibitions and annual programs.” The fellowships run from June 11 to Aug. 17, 2018, and include fellowships in education, exhibitions, and collections management. “While working individually with their project supervisors, “said Director of Academic Programs Rich Strum, “fellows will also meet and work together throughout the two-month experience. Fellows will have an opportunity to work with Fort Ticonderoga’s professional staff as part of our team-approach to all major projects.” The Edward W. Pell Graduate Fellowships launched in » Holiday Train Cont. from pg. 1 By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

said Keith Creel, the railroad’s president and chief executive officer. “People come for the beautifully-lit train and stay for the incredible show, all in the name of community. The holiday season is the best time of the year, and we look forward to bringing together thousands of Canadians and Americans this season for this incredibly important cause and a great time.” Ticonderoga Town Supervisor Joseph Giordano said he appreciates the efforts of CP Railway to help local food programs.

TICONDEROGA | The light-covered Canadian Pacific Railway Holiday Train is soon rolling into Port Henry and Ticonderoga. The train will arrive on Monday, Nov. 27, at 3:10 p.m. in Ticonderoga and 4:45 p.m. in Port Henry. The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is back for the 19th year to raise money, food and awareness for local food banks and food shelves. At each stop, the Holiday Train provides a box car stage, a line up of musical talents and a corporate contribution to the local food bank. Spectators, in turn, are encouraged to donate food and funds, all of which stays in the community. Items such as infant formula, canned meats and spaghetti sauce are in popular demand. “We hope for good weather and a good turnout,” Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said. “All the food collected goes directly to the Food Shelf.” People are asked to take a nonperishable food item to the train stop for donation to the local food shelf. The train is 1,000 feet in length, with 14 rail cars decorated with thousands of LED lights, and a boxcar that was converted into a traveling stage for the performers. Canadian country artists Jim Cuddy, Devin Cuddy and Kelly Prescott will be the musicians on the U.S. train this year. The train will arrive at: - Ticonderoga Amtrak Station, 3:10 p.m. - Port Henry Train Station, 4:45 p.m. - Plattsburgh Amtrak Station, 7:15 p.m. - Rouses Point Train Station, 9 p.m. “The Holiday Train program is all about local food banks and food shelves and the critical role they play in our communities,”

Theresa Ball from the University of Washington was the 2017 Edward W. Pell Graduate Fellow in Research at Fort Ticonderoga. The museum is seeking applicants for its 2018 Graduate Fellowships, and applications are due Jan. 15, 2018.

2015. Over the past three years, 12 graduate students have been awarded fellowships. “I could not have asked for a better experience this summer,” said 2017 research graduate fellow Theresa Ball from the University of Washington. “It is rare to find an institution as remarkably driven and exceptionally innovative as Fort Ticonderoga. In my time here, I have been encouraged to challenge myself and allowed the freedom to make projects my own while also receiving the guidance and support necessary to succeed. “The knowledge I have gained in research methods, collections care, and exhibit design has enriched my professional development and skill set beyond measure.” The 2018 fellows will help lay the groundwork for exhibitions, programs, and educational initiatives to be offered to the public in 2019. Hill said fellows will need to be self-motivated and able to work independently as well as contribute to a dedicated team to create and develop groundbreaking exhibitions and programs for a diverse audience. Successful applicants for the two-month fellowship will receive a $2,500 stipend along with on-site housing. Individual fellowships are available in education, exhibitions, and collections management. Applications are due Jan. 15, 2018. For more information, visit fortticonderoga.org/education/university-partnerships. The Edward W. Pell Graduate Fellowships at Fort Ticonderoga are made possible with the support from the Edward W. Pell Education Endowment at Fort Ticonderoga and several individual donors. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Porch pirates Who says there is no Christmas Grinch? Online shopping volume has been growing over the last few years and By Dan Alexander so has the rise of front• PUBLISHER • porch package theft— perpetrated by “porch pirates.” A 2017 Package Theft Study among 500 U.S. homeowners ages 17-54 was recently released by YourLocalSecurity.com. The new study revealed that 73 percent of Americans believe their porch is a safe place for package deliveries. However, despite that confidence, 71 million Americans had packages stolen from their front porches in 2016. You might feel pretty safe starting your online holiday shopping over Black Friday weekend and trusting your package deliveries to the safety of your front porch. But should you? Here is a peek at some national statistics: • Americans spend an average of 22 percent more online purchases over the Black Friday weekend than during other times of the year • 71 million Americans had a package stolen in the last year. • 74 percent of packages were stolen from the front porch during the day while the homeowner was at work.. • 108 million shopped online during Black Friday weekend spending an estimated $5 billion in 2016. How to help prevent a disappointing Black Friday experience: • Seasoned thieves are working overtime during the holiday season, especially right after the Black Friday weekend. • Make your purchases locally at the store to avoid the threat of theft altogether. • If you must shop online, have the merchandise delivered to a safe location. Ask your neighbors to keep an extra eye out when you’re expecting an important package, or ask if the product could be delivered to their home if they are planning to be home. • Consider installation of a doorbell camera. Not only does a doorbell camera add a layer of security to your home’s entrance, it can also monitor the activity at your front door, allowing you to tell a delivery person to leave the package in a safer location. It also serves to confirm a delivery so you’ll know right away if something is missing versus waiting too long to seek assistance or a replacement. If snagging the best holiday deals is at the top of your list this season, please do so safely and please think local first. Just make sure to prepare your home for delivery before hitting those one-click purchase options. With the right precautions in place, you can enjoy a protected and joyful holiday shopping experience. ■

A celebration of the fall sports season The year has started off well for Section VII sports. Of course, you start with the state champion Chazy Eagles, who will sew an eighth star onto their uniforms after earning a co-championship in a 1-1 draw against Mount Academy. Look at the stats and this may be one of the best teams in Chazy history. While it did not score as much as some other Eagles’ squads, it defended on historic levels, not allowing a goal to a Class C or Class D team until the final game of the season, only allowing four goals all year. When you play high-quality defensive soccer, you are going to win the high-quality games, which the state title game was over a solid team in Mount Academy. As for the debate on whether or not a state title game should end in a draw, all we can say was we were pleased with the result after watching two teams give their all for 110 minutes, being so tired at the end of the game it may have been the first time anyone has seen a Chazy team start playing kickball. However, Chazy was not the only team making the final weekend of the season. The Lake Placid boy’s and Moriah girl’s soccer teams made program history as they made their first ever appearance in the state semifinals. For the Lady Vikings, it was the culmination of a Cinderella-to-Queen of the ball story, going from their unprecedented eighthseed run in 2016 to this season, where they

Not paying attention on cause of opioid crisis

To the Editor: Opioid epidemic, your government at work. Have you ever heard of the “Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug Enforcement Act”? Tom Marino, Marsha Blackburn and Orrin Hatch were major sponsors of the bill which became law in 2016. The law made it very difficult, if not impossible, for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to stop suspicious shipments of opioid painkillers by drug distributors. In other words, it weakened DEA’s efforts against drug companies that were supplying corrupt doctors and pharmacists who peddled narcotics on the black market. The drug industry has spent $106 million lobbying Congress on this legislation. Mckesson Corp., Amerisource Bergen and Cardinal Health together spent $13 million lobbying for this bill. The DEA’s most effective enforcement tool is called “immediate suspension order.” This allowed the DEA to shut down drug companies that are sending hundreds of mil-

were the comeback kids, trailing in all but one post-season games as they played their way to the Cortland area and the Final Four. It was also the second time in nine months the Lady Vikings have made school history, going to their first basketball final four in March. For Lake Placid, it was a true underdog story, going into the sectionals as the fourth seed and defeating the top two seeds and gaining revenge against Maple Hill as they advanced to Middletown. Led by a hot goalie in Jacob Novick and timely scoring, the Blue Bombers helped to prove Division II of the Northern Soccer Conference is a good as it gets, with three schools in the final four and seven of the eight sectional finalists in Classes C and D coming from that division. In football, Ticonderoga and Moriah were as dominant as they come, beating up everyone in Section VII except for each other, with the Sentinels earning the regular season win and the Vikings winning the Class D title, advancing to the state quarterfinal round. In volleyball, it was a season where Saranac won the CVAC title, and Saranac Lake won the Class C championship game along with Beekmantown winning in B and Northern Adirondack going from a program who won two games (not matches, games) in 2016 before winning the Class D championship this season.

lions pills downstream, unchecked. Tom Marino (R-Pa) said that the law was written by an industry lawyer. The lawyer who wrote this law (for the drug industry) knew exactly what he was doing. By changing the language in the law, he tied the hands of the DEA so that they couldn’t stop the drug dealers from selling their drugs to the corrupt doctors and pharmacists! The law was passed without any discussion or comments by any of our legislators. On Tuesday morning on CNN, there was a discussion with a congressman about “The Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug enforcement Act.” The congressman was asked, “How was this bill passed? He answered, “I guess we weren’t paying attention.” Joe DeMarco, Jay ■

again winning the Section VII overall title and helping the Peru Indians win their fourth straight sectional title. PHS also kept a stronghold over the pool, winning the sectional girl’s swim title. Peru had a strong season in cross country, sweeping the Class B titles while finishing first and second in the girl’s and boy’s CVAC standings, respectively. The Saranac Lake boys and Saranac girls also had strong performances at the state meet, placing in fifth and sixth place, respectively. To all teams and athletes, we say congratulations. To all the seniors who participated in sports, thank you for your energy and efforts, it has been a pleasure to watch you all. Now, we get ready for the winter sports season with defending state champions Moriah boy’s basketball and Lake Placid boy’s Nordic skiing. Is there a chance Moriah could sweep the Class D basketball titles — and we’re not talking sectional titles, we mean state championships — giving Section VII their third boy’s and first-ever girl’s state champions? Can Lake Placid go for a three-peat? Can anyone reach the top of the podium in wrestling? Whose going to be the surprise team this season?

Don’t criticize supers who voted for railroad

To the Editor: Public officials do not always make the right decisions! How well I know first-hand. Most of the time even your best judgment comes back to bite you in a very unsuspecting way. That’s my take on the storage of used rail cars by the Saratoga-North Creek Railroad. A tourist train traveling through some of the area’s most scenic vistas, supporting the hamlets of North Creek, Hadley and Corinth probably seemed like a great investment in our tourist industry. Who would have predicated the necessity to create a “junkyard” in the midst of our great Adirondack Park? It’s happening now and several groups are attempting, rightly so, to stop it from occurring.

seen is of no consequence. Call them rail cars or tankers, sing a song about them, doing it legally makes little difference — it’s a “junkyard.” They will never be used again! They will deteriorate, rust, corrode and will be there long after the railroad leaves in four years at the end of their lease. Can you imagine their lease being renewed after this breakdown in the respect they have for our beautiful Adirondacks? And the cars will still be there. Who will then pay for removal? An everlasting man-made barrier stretching for miles in the wilderness. Hunters and hikers can crawl between the cars but wildlife will have to detour. So, don’t criticize the supervisors that voted for the railroad, join them and the governor, Adirondack Council, Association of Town and Villages, Warren and Essex County and the APA in finding a way to remove them now legally.

‘Stuff the turkey, not the trash’ urges DEC

State agency offers tips to reduce food waste during holiday season

ALBANY |Holiday season panic, we all experience it. How much food do I buy? Is this turkey big enough? Are you sure we have enough food? Where am I going to put all of these leftovers? Who is going to eat all of these leftovers?! Millions of pounds of leftover food is thrown away every year. In fact, it is estimated that Americans throw away 204 million pounds of turkey meat during the Thanksgiving holiday (Natural

Resources Defense Council, 2016). What if there was a way to plan more accordingly and load off some of those leftovers? To reduce wasted food this holiday season: Plan ahead: Have an accurate head count to plan portions accordingly. Use Save the Food’s new Guest-imator calculator to help estimate how much food you will need based on the head count and number of desired leftovers. Cook with imperfections: Purchase imperfect produce to use in cooked dishes, such as bruised apples for apple pie. Share: Encourage your guests to bring a container they can take leftovers home in. Make creative leftovers: Enjoy your Thanksgiving leftovers days after by creating new dishes like turkey soup or hot turkey sandwiches. Freeze: Be realistic about the leftovers you can eat; freeze the extra that won’t last in the fridge. ■

Mineville man arrested in murder-for-hire plot By Pete DeMola EDITOR

MINEVILLE | A Mineville man has been arrested in connection with a murder-forhire plot. Richard W. Stockwell, 42, was arrested by state police on Nov. 2 and charged with second degree criminal solicitation, a class D felony. Stockwell allegedly offered a homeless man $1,000 to kill a victim on Nov. 1 after luring him to Essex County from Troy with the promises of a construction job. Stockwell, said state police, picked the recruit up in Troy. While on route back to Essex County, he advised the 44-year-old man the “job” was actually a murder-forhire plot. The plot involved disposing of the body and burning the victim’s vehicle. Neither the recruit or the potential victim have been identified.

SP Lewis was contacted by Moriah Police Department on Nov. 2 requesting assistance with a possible murder-for-hire plot in Schroon. Stockwell’s arrest followed an interview by the state police and members of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. “Continued investigation by SP Lewis BCI members revealed the suspect had offered, on two other earlier instances to pay others to surveil, injure and kill the victim,” said Troop B Public Information Officer Jennifer V. Fleishman. Stockwell was processed at the state police barracks in Schroon Lake and remanded to Essex County Jail after his arraignment at the Town of Schroon Court. He posted $25,000 cash bail and was released on Nov. 3, according to the Essex County Sheriff’s Office. Stockwell is due back in Town of Schroon Court on Dec. 13 Stockwell’s phone number is unlisted and

Guest Columnist

Public broadcasting: A halfcentury of public service By Bill McColgan GUEST COLUMNIST

Public broadcasting in America turned 50 last week, and Mountain Lake PBS joins America in saluting this national treasure. In signing the Public Broadcasting Act in 1967, President Johnson expressed the hope that one day, public television and radio stations would satisfy “America’s appetite for excellence” and “enrich man’s spirit.” That legislation created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which today supports nearly 1,500 public television and radio stations across the country by distributing federal funding amounting to roughly $1.35 per citizen, per year. At Mountain Lake PBS, this investment is critical to our operations. We leverage federal funding many times over, along with continued financial support from our local communities, to provide a welcoming space for childhood education and lifelong learning, the arts and culture, history, science, and civil discourse in the Adirondack region, the Champlain Valley, Southern Quebec, and beyond. From our weekly show Mountain Lake Journal shining a light on local stories that matter, to our free family events that connect media with handson learning for children, Mountain Lake PBS aims to inspire, enrich, and engage right here at home. At a time when local news coverage is dramatically reduced, public media stations are expanding their journalism network, innovating in their storytelling and reaching audiences on platforms they prefer, anytime, anywhere. Meanwhile, the much-beloved national programs that we have carried through years have educated, informed and inspired generations and strengthened our community, from Sesame Street and Curious George, to Masterpiece and PBS Newshour. Public broadcasting was born during the height of the Vietnam War, which may explain our determination to find common ground on even the most difficult and divisive issues. Ken Burns’ and Lynn Novick’s most recent documentary series, The Vietnam War, is a prime example. Mountain Lake PBS has used the film as an opportunity to foster dialogue by helping our veterans and their families share their stories through our Veterans Coming Home series. For some, this is first time they’ve talked about their experience. Despite the disruption and rapid changes shaping today’s media environment, public broadcasting’s mission is more necessary than ever. Throughout our 40 year history, Mountain Lake PBS has been proud to support public broadcasting’s mission here in the North Country and throughout the many communities we serve on both sides of the border. We look forward to continuing to inspire, enrich and engage lifelong learners, to serve as a reflection of what matters here at home, and to share the diverse experiences, insights and contributions of our audience for decades to come. ■ — Bill McColgan is the President & CEO of Mountain Lake PBS

Mobile speed sign will alert drivers Ticonderoga Police now have a mobile speed trailer By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | A portable radar speed sign will tell motorists in Ticonderoga whether they’re exceeding the speed limit. The new speed trailer will be set up in different places, especially where Ticonderoga Town Police have reports of speeding, said Acting Chief Michael LaVallie. “This will assist with speed enforcement throughout the town,” he said. “An officer cannot be in every area all the time. By posting this in a critical area, this will assist us and also give us valuable data.” The mobile device records speeds and times, and the information can be downloaded to a USB drive for assessment and compilation. The machine, which uses solar charging of the marine batteries that power the device, was purchased using grants from the Ticonderoga Walmart SuperCenter and International Paper’s Ticonderoga mill. Walmart Store Manager Jonathan LaLone said the company wanted to support local police. “We’re happy to contribute to the community,” he said. “We give back.” » Crisis Team Cont. from pg. 1

Standing with the new Ticonderoga Police speed trailer are (from left) Sgt. Dale Quesnel and K9 Tusko, Town Supervisor Joseph Giordano, International Paper representative Donna Wadsworth, Chief Michael LaVallie, records clerk Kortney Bessett, Town Councilor David Woods, and Walmart Manager Jonathan LaLone. The speed sign was on Alexandria Avenue near Ticonderoga Elementary/Middle School recently. Photo by Lohr McKinstry The speed trailer will be placed around town until snowplowing starts, LaVallie said. “Salt and plowing could damage it,” he said. “We were anxious to get it out there now so the public could see it.” He said it will be lettered so drivers know it belongs to the police department. “We wanted to remind people of what the speed limits are, problematic areas,” the chief said. “It’s definitely going to get used.”

issues in the community,” he said. The Essex County Sheriff’s Office, the Essex County Mental Health Department and the New York State Police have been working for months on the initiative, which is sponsored by the state Office of Mental Health. Funding was made possible through the state Senate. Now that this initial crop of officers has been trained, the goal now is to empower the fresh grads to eventually train their colleagues, ensuring the program can be sustainable at the local level. “The target for most law enforcement agencies is about 20 percent or so of the road patrol,” he said. Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting said law enforcement has come a long way since the days of “Gunsmoke” when there were only three options for dealing with bad guys: “Shoot ‘em, beat ‘em or run ‘em out of town,” Cutting said. “I don’t think the problems have changed a lot, but the solutions have come 180 degrees,” he said. “Let’s see how much of a difference

The goal in crisis response training is to minimize times when law enforcement must be first responders to a crisis, instead diverting suspects to mental health agencies for the proper treatment. “It’s not a get out of jail free card,” Kamin said. But when they do have to respond, law enforcement must be equipped to have the knowledge, skills and support to assess and de-escalate the situation. A major component is slowing down to “correct and direct” when arriving on-scene, and listening to individuals in distress before making that connection, Kamin said. Every law enforcement officer has basic de-escalation skills as part of their training, he said, and the course builds upon those. Grads are awarded a specialized status, not unlike SCUBA or search and rescue units. But it’s not for everyone. “We want people who have the passion, and the compassion, and have the patience to deal with some of these many challenging

we can make. It’s great to see this happen.” New York State Police Troop B Major John Tibbitts, Jr. said the training is just the beginning. “It’s a tool in your toolbox,” he told the graduates. The training element is the most visible part of the program. But collaboration between law enforcement and mental health agencies

Buggies, tractors highlighted in traffic workshop Local law enforcement briefed by Yates County sheriff on slow-moving vehicles By Pete DeMola EDITOR

LEWIS | Local law enforcement have received a crash course in slow-moving vehicle awareness training designed to prevent crashes. Yates County Sheriff Ron Spike briefed members of the Essex County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police on Nov. 3. Mechanized, agricultural and horse-drawn vehicles were discussed at the seminar. “It was very informative, a good meeting by Sheriff Spike,” said Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting, who hosted the event. A recent factor joining tractors and farm equipment are horse-drawn buggies, which have become increasingly common on local roads as the Amish continue to migrate to the area from St. Lawrence County. No vehicle-buggy collisions have yet been re-

ported to the county sheriff’s office, Cutting said. “I’ve heard a few concerns about slowmoving vehicles, but not a lot,” he said. Motorists should be advised of what’s known as “slowing rates,” or the amount of time it takes to reach a vehicle. “It’s only a matter of a few seconds before you’re on them,” Cutting said. Tractors do not always signal when leaving roadways, he added. “Be very vigilant, look for reflective vehicles, the triangular sign and give them space to be cautious,” Cutting said. While the Amish use reflective tape and small lenses on their jet-black buggies, they are not required to utilize the orange triangles used to designate slow-moving vehicles for religious reasons. At least three settlements have popped up in Essex and Willsboro. Local officials say road signage would be useful as a way to alert motorists of their presence. “We need to put signs up in the vicinity of where the buggies live,” said Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland. “We would love to have more signs because they go back and forth from the village.”

Gillilland said residents have become more aware of the vehicles, particularly at dusk between April and October when tractors and buggies are leaving the fields. “They make welcome neighbors,” Gillilland said. Members of St. Lawrence County and Clinton County Sheriff’s Office also attended the seminar alongside members of the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee.

The committee and the New York State Sheriffs’ Association held a symposium on slow-moving vehicles in Syracuse in February. Traffic Safety Committee Member Anthony D’Agostino, who helped organize the event, said in a statement the symposium showed that most crashes involving slow-moving vehicles occur during daylight hours, so distraction is often more of a cause than visibility. ■

Crown Point trash site shutting down Town of Crown Point Solid Waste Transfer Station will be no more By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

CROWN POINT | It was only open a day-and-a-half weekly, but now the Crown Point Town Solid Waste Transfer Station is closing entirely. The town-owned site will cease operations forever after Thursday, Nov. 30, Town Supervisor Charles Harrington said. Casella Waste Systems had been running the Crown Point Transfer Station at 350 Middle Road in Crown Point. The decision to shut down was made by the Crown Point Town Council at its November meeting, the supervisor said, as the result of a contract dispute. “For over 16 years the transfer site has been leased by a commercial waste hauler,” Harrington said. “The decision to close was determined as a result of changes in (Casella’s) contract language which would have transferred additional financial and operational responsibilities to the patrons and town.” People who opt to continue to transport their own waste and recyclables will be able to utilize both the Town of Ti*r ,..

The Crown Point Town Solid Waste Transfer Station on Middle Road will cease operations after Nov. 30, due to a contract dispute with the commercial operator, Casella Waste Systems. Photo by Lohr McKinstry conderoga and Town of Moriah facilities, Harrington said. “Many Crown Point citizens already utilize these sites, and have as a result realized significant reductions in fees,” Harrington said. “The board regrets any inconveniences in regards to this decision.” The Town of Moriah transfer site is located on Joyce Road, phone 518-942-3072, and the Town of Ticonderoga’s transfer site is on the Vineyard Road, phone 518-585-6677. Both of these sites are operational at least five days a week

with standard hours of operation, while the Crown Point site was open one and one-half days a week, Harrington said. Ticonderoga charges 15 cents a pound for disposal, while Moriah sells stickers at town offices for $2.50 for each 30 gallon bag. The Ticonderoga transfer station is open Tuesday-Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., while Moriah is Tuesday-Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ■

Task forces lobby to raise tobacco purchase age to 21 Stakeholders hope momentum from school districts, local governments will propel initiative forward By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | An effort to raise the purchase age of tobacco products from 18 to 21 is gaining momentum within school districts across the Adirondack region. “We’ve got about 16 school districts stating support in the past few weeks,” said Tom Tallon, a population health improvement program manager with Adirondack Health Institute, the agency spearheading the regional Tobacco 21 movement. School districts in the six-county region who have supported the initiative include AuSable Valley Central, Franklin-Essex-Hamilton BOCES, L.P. Quinn Elementary in Tupper Lake, Minerva Central, Newcomb Central, Saranac Lake Central, Schroon Lake Central, Wells Central and Chazy Central Rural. “We’re just really trying to engage schools,” Tallon said. The outreach to schools is part of a strategy to gain momentum for counties to pass local laws raising the age, paving the way for an eventual statewide law. Health advocates believe raising the age will discourage tobacco companies from targeting young people during the 18- to 21-year-old window when many move from experimenting with tobacco to regular smoking. Ninety-five percent of smokers begin before the age of 21, according to AHI. “Almost no one starts smoking after 24, so the cigarette

companies have to convince adolescents to start before then if they are going to make money,” said Dr. David Beguin, a local pediatrician, in a statement. “Cigarette companies have been masters of marketing for a long time. But they have not been masters of health.” Task forces in Clinton, Essex and Franklin are being spearheaded by county-run public health departments and are bolstered by health care providers, including Champlain Valley Health Network and Elizabethtown Community Hospital. “We’re relying on local people to promote at the local level,” Tallon said. Localities are also being asked sign onto the effort, with a crown jewel being counties, who can vote to raise the age of tobacco sales within their jurisdictions. The Essex County Board of Supervisors was briefed by Tallon in August, but has not taken any formal action. The Essex County Health Department has sponsored a resolution to create a board subcommittee to advance Tobacco 21 initiatives, said Health Director Linda Beers, and a planning committee has identified key stakeholders to participate in monthly meetings. “We are very optimistic that this task force will build support from the ground up and be able to move this legislation forward,” Beers said. The status in Clinton County is identical. “Public health officials here in Clinton County have brought the topic to the standing committee as a discussion item,” said Clinton County Administrator Mike Zurlo. “But the Clinton County legislative body has taken no action on the issue.” None of the six counties in the Adirondack region — which also includes Warren, Washington, Hamilton and Franklin — have brought Tobacco 21 to a vote, and stakeholders said they will wait to introduce resolutions until they feel as if they can garner enough support. A proposed measure didn’t make it out of committee in

Saratoga County, and a resolution was outright rejected by St. Lawrence County lawmakers in June, citing government overreach. ‘That’s when we realized so much work needed to done educationally,” said Tallon. To date, more than 200 municipalities in 14 states have passed local laws increasing the legal minimum sale age to 21 years, according to Clinton County Public Health. New York City, Suffolk, Orange, Cortland, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Albany, Schenectady, Sullivan and Tompkins counties and the Town of North Hempstead have enacted Tobacco 21 legislation. ■

Flagpole in Ti dedicated to veterans

Veterans and others watch as the new flagpole is dedicated at the Moses Ludington Adult Care Facility.

Moses-Ludington Adult Care Facility is honoring those who serve By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | The Moses Ludington Adult Care Facility has dedicated its new flagpole to area military veterans. At a recent ceremony, home Administrator Kristen True told those attending that they wanted to honor local vets for their service. “It’s dedicated to all veterans, past, present and future,” she said. “The flag will fly over our facility for many years to come.” There are 17 veterans in the Adult Care Facility and adjacent Heritage Commons nursing home at present. The flagpole was donated by Danny Kaifetz of Adiron-

dack Flagpoles in Keeseville. Craig Cassidy of Ticonderoga American Legion Post 224 said the flagpole is also dedicated to New York State Police, Ticonderoga Town Police, Essex County Sheriff’s Department and other law enforcement agencies. “We dedicate this to all the people who serve us and keep us free and safe,” he said. “We all believe in what that flag stands for. We are going to honor those who served, with the blowing of taps.” A bugler played taps, and singing of patriotic songs was led by Caron Disbrow and Meeghan Shaw. Ticonderoga Town Historian William Dolback gave a history of the U.S. flag, and Ticonderoga Town Supervisor Joseph Giordano praised everyone for coming out on a chilly day. “This flagpole is dedicated to all our servicemen and women, those who serve our great country,” Giordano said. Many veterans were present for the outdoor ceremony in the adult home courtyard, and refreshments were provided afterward by the facility. ■

the local food pantry in the branch. To help, stop by the branch to visit Staff Sergeant Ted E.

Fleur-d’-Elise: Stefanik visits with Quebec business organization By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

VAUDREUIL-DORION, QUEBEC | Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) brought some comfort to a group of business leaders during a joint meeting between the North Country Chamber of Commerce and a pair of Canadian chambers on Monday. The Willsboro Republican spoke to members of the Federation des chambres de commerce de Quebec and Chembre de commerce et d’industrie de Vasudreuil-Soulanges at the Château Vaudreuil near Montreal, with the theme focused mainly on the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). “I do not support the termination of NAFTA,” Stefanik said after being asked if negotiations were failing on the part of the United States. “We know we can benefit from an international partnership like the one between Quebec and the North Country. This is a critical issue to our domestic economic policy. I know there is a lack of certainty right now but, in my opinion, we need to keep the trade agreement and modernize it.” Stefanik said she would like to see the new version of NAFTA, or NAFTA 2.0, as she called it, strengthened and also look at the issues of the modern market. “We need to set a digital road map for trade,” she said. “We also need to give access to digital companies to both sides of the border.” While voting against the GOP tax plan, Stefanik did say she supported one aspect that could affect international trade. “I support the lowering of the corporate tax,” she said. “We have to focus on U.S. competitiveness and cutting the tax cap would improve that.” The Congresswoman also added NAFTA talks need to be tri-lateral, because of the difference in the relationship of the United States with its neighboring countries, Canada and Mexico. “We need to point out the differences between the two borders and the fact that the US-Canada relationship is

Photo by Keith Lobdell much more collegial,” she said. Those in attendance stressed the importance of the business relationship between Quebec and the North Country. “I hope talks like this will bring more business opportunities on both sides,” said Marie-Andree Prevost. “We hope a new NAFTA will bring new ways of collaboration and promotion of positive growth between the two countries,” said Stephane Forget. “Garry Douglas has been working with us to look at the trade corridor between Quebec and Northern New York and implement policies

that positively impact economic growth.” “Our focus is to broaden and deepen connectivity between us,” said Douglas. “The goal is to create a singular, bi-economic region. We very intentionally make Plattsburgh indusive for the success of Canadian businesses in the United States. Our business is the success of Canadian business.” Douglas also praised Stefanik for her role in the relationship between the two partners. “Elise has very quickly emerged as one of the strongest voices in Congress and that works on our behalf and your behalf.” ■

Stefanik votes ‘no’ on House tax plan SALT continues to be dealbreaker By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WASHINGTON, D.C. | The House of Representatives passed tax reform legislation on Thursday, fulfilling a long-standing pledge to overhaul the nation’s tax code for the first time in 30 years. The vote was 227-205. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) was among the 13 Republicans who voted against the measure, citing the repeal of the State and Local Tax Deduction, or SALT. “I support comprehensive tax reform that provides tax relief to hardworking North Country families,” said Stefanik in a statement. “I remain concerned about the elimination of the State and Local Tax Deduction which penalizes taxpayers in high taxed states

like New York. I will be voting no today to stand up for New York taxpayers in my district.” SALT has occupied a central position in the debate, with New York lawmakers arguing it will deprive the state’s residents of a much-needed tax write-off that averages $6,000 annually. The bill passed Thursday limits the deduction to the first $10,000 paid in property taxes. Repeal would generate $1.3 trillion in revenue to offset income tax cuts elsewhere. But 3.3 million New Yorkers receive the deduction, according to the governor’s office, saving some $17.3 billion. Stefanik criticized the state for failing to control its spending. “This bill highlights the failure of New York State to rein in spending, and to reduce the tax burden for all New Yorkers,” she said. The second-term lawmaker said she will continue to work closely with her colleagues from other highly taxed states to ensure that the final tax reform package in Conference

against the best interest of their constituents. Reps. Claudia Tenney, John Katko, Chris Collins and Tom Reed were the four Republicans from New York who voted for the measure. “Any member from New York that votes for this bill is voting to take billions of dollars from middle class New Yorkers and send that money to corporations, billionaires and other states,” Cuomo said. Mary Alice Shemo, a local activist, led a small knot of protesters outside of Stefanik’s Plattsburgh office on Wednesday. “I’m pleased that she kept her word, that she said she was going to,” said Shemo after the vote. “I’m very happy with our congresswoman at this point.” Stefanik also voted against the federal budget resolution earlier this month, citing concerns over SALT. The bill now heads to the Senate, where GOP leaders have said they want to pass legislation and get it to the president’s desk before the end of the year. ■

“addresses these concerns and provides real tax relief for families in New York’s 21st District.” The bill now heads to the Senate. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has led a full-out war against the plan, calling it a “targeted assault on New Yorkers that will deliver a catastrophic blow to our economy.” Repeal of SALT, Cuomo said, directly threatens the progress the state has made on rolling back property taxes, including the tax cap and shared services initiative that required counties to craft collaborative plans with local stakeholders. “If you can’t deduct them from your federal income tax, you will now be taxed on the tax that you pay for property taxes,” Cuomo said on Thursday. “The federal government will tax your property tax and they will tax your income tax.” As the House has worked to hash out the bill, Cuomo has targeted specific lawmakers from New York’s GOP delegation, calling those in favor of the legislation “Benedict Arnolds” and claiming their votes go

Schroon budget jumps 6.9 percent Town adds emergency services district to bolster coverage By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

SCHROON LAKE | The new Town of Schroon budget is over the state tax cap for the town. Part of the increase comes from the town adding a taxing Emergency Services District to use paid EMTs in the local ambulance squad instead of volunteers.

The ambulance group cited a difficulty getting volunteers for runs during certain shifts. The paid EMTs add $292,175 to the town budget for 2018, a 19 percent hike over this year’s $245,000. The tax levy increased by 6.9 percent for 2018. The state’s basic tax cap is 2 percent. Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said the spending increase was due to a variety of reasons. “The increase was because of EMS, payment on new (town hall) addition, $77,000 on principal and $17,000 interest, $50,000 for a new parking lot at the (town) medical center and construction of a four-season building used for skating in winter and many other summer activities,” he said. “Also, all employees received $0.50 per hour (raises). The supervisor and town board members did not receive a pay increase.” ■

Budget breakdown $4.57 in 2018; $4.30 in 2017 (owner Tax rate per $1,000 of $100,000 house paid $430 in assessed value: this year; will pay $457 in 2018) Over/under tax cap?

Stewart’s Holiday Match kicks off Campaign continues to set records, funds support local children’s charities

The program doubles customer donations penny for penny, and has set fundraising records for three consecutive seasons. “Already having such a sense of community in our shops, the Stewart’s Holiday Match program has proven to be a perfect match for our friendly partners and loyal customers. By joining together, we can support kids in our own neighborhoods, all year long,” said Stewart’s Shops President Gary Dake. In 2016, customers donated an incredible $926,000 to the program, doubling to more than $1.85 million with the Stewart’s match. This was a $100,000 increase over the previous season. The funds were able to support a record 1,737 local children’s organizations across the 31 counties where

TICONDEROGA | Stewart’s Shops is teaming up with its customers once again to raise money for local children’s charities. The Stewart’s Holiday Match campaign kicks off on Thanksgiving Day and runs through Christmas Day at all shop locations.

Stewart’s Shops are located. “The Holiday Match Program is a significant part of Stewart’s commitment to strengthen our shops’ communities,” said Stewart’s Foundation President Susan Dake. “Not only does it raise funds and awareness for local children’s charities, it encourages community support. It’s another way we are closer to you.” This program has contributed more than $24 million to thousands of local children’s organizations since 1986. All the money donated goes to charity; there are no administrative costs. The funds are allocated in March. The goal of Holiday Match is to encourage individual giving and broaden the base of support for local charities. Stewart’s Holiday Match is a 501c3 foundation; all donations

are tax-deductible. Stewart’s gladly accepts funds from groups or businesses, but only matches individual donations. Local children’s organizations are encouraged to apply for funding online at stewartsshops.com. Paper applications are also available at shops. The deadline for submission is January 31, 2018. All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18, and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization.

Glass and screen repair offered Crown Point shop also offers locksmith services By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

CROWN POINT | J&P Screen and Window Repair is now open for business in Crown Point. Joseph and Paula Norton have started the shop in a former small-engine repair garage at their 327 Pearl St. residence. Mr. Norton said he acquired the screen and glass supplies and equipment after Ticonderoga Agway closed following the death of owner Douglas Spaulding. “I tried to keep the place old school because that’s the way it was at Agway,” he said. “I’m working on a sign that should be up soon.” There’s a vintage radio in the shop, and a gum ball machine and old-time cash register. Norton is also a locksmith. “I do everything but safes,” he said. “I have a key machine I got from Agway.” He worked for Spaulding for 15 years at the Agway, learning every facet of the business. “I always thought about doing this and making it into something,” he said. “I wouldn’t ever have competed with Doug. He was like family to me.” Norton also designs and builds custom screen doors. He said anyone with a window or screen that needs repair can drop it off any time at the shop, and fill out a tag with name and phone number and he’ll contact them when it’s ready or with a price. Norton can be reached at 518 586-2928. “I want to thank the Spaulding family for everything they’ve done for me,” he said. “They let me be a big part of their family.” ■
