County taxes slightly higher Health care negotiations hold down expenses By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER
ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County will use surplus funds and successful health insurance negotiations to keep taxes relatively flat in its 2020 spending plan, according to a budget memo provided to town supervisors. Taxpayers will pay an extra $3 annually on a home assessed at $100,000 under the 2020 budget, which is expected to receive final approval in December. The budget includes a 2.5% raise for county employees and pays for various new policies mandated by the state, most notably the result of a criminal justice reform bill passed in April that adds to prosecutors’ workload. The reform bill has raised concerns in local governments, particularly as it applies to bail reform, which they believe could render judges powerless to lock up dangerous criminals after their arrest. It also requires DAs to supply defendants with the evidence they plan to use against them within 15 days of their arraignment, which means the county will need to add an assistant prosecutor. Palmer said the county will watch other aspects of the bill to see if there are any more associated costs. The $108 million budget is up 2.61% over last year’s, according to the budget message from County Manager Dan Palmer. Revenues are expected to increase as well by 2.24%. Revenues are projected to be $82 million, leaving a $25.6 million difference to be paid for by taxes. The projected tax levy for 2020 will raise $23.5 million, 2.17% more than this year. The county will use $2.1 from its fund balances to bridge the gap and keep the budget under the tax cap.

Insects have ADK surrounded Public urged to be on the lookout for signs of damaging invasives By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER
Julie Fogden gives a seminar on pests that are threatening traditional Adirondack forests. Photo by Tim Rowland
WILLSBORO | The Adirondack forest — its hemlock, beech, maple, ash, pine and oak — is perhaps as iconic as the mountains themselves. Apple trees and, increasingly, grape vines and hops are a staple of the North Country economy. But it is all at risk from insects arriving from half a world away, which seemingly have the Adirondack park hemmed in on all sides and are ready to pounce in a way that could vastly change the way the forest looks in future decades. “If the hemlock is ravaged, you can imagine how would the park change as an ecosystem,” said Julie Fogden, an Invasive Species Management Steward at The Nature Conservancy during a presentation at Noblewood Park in Willsboro. Those in attendance were urged to learn the signs of infestation and report and suspicious activity to the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program.
The invaders can be reported on APIPP’s contact page at adkinvasives.com. Fogden said there is also user friendly, free app called iMapInvasives, where reports can be made via cellphone app, or online on their website. Any DEC regional office as well as Essex County Soil and Water Conservation District can also direct reports. For many of these insects though, their arrival “is not a matter of if, it’s when,” Fogden said. A cautionary tale is told by the beech, which was once a “storybook tree” of stately beauty and flawlessly smooth silver bark, but today is considered junk by foresters because it’s attacked by a one-two punch of insects and disease that leaves its trunks riddled with ugly wounds and often kill the tree before it reaches full maturity. Also about to go are Adirondack ash trees, which will fall to the emerald ash borer, probably sooner rather than later. As with many insects, it’s the larvae that do the damage, Fogden said, as they burrow under the bark and intercept nutrients that are on their way to the canopy. Ash trees represent about 5% of the Adirondack forest and the properties of the wood have made it a popular choice of boat builders. See BUGS » pg. 8
Small Business Saturday in Schroon Twenty businesses to participate in Chamber event By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER
SCHROON LAKE | Twenty businesses in and around Schroon Lake will join other communities this week celebrating Small Business Saturday on Nov. 30, according to Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Susan Palisano. Small Business Saturday was created by American Express in 2010, to shine a spotlight on the impact small businesses have on communities across the country.
This year’s celebration is the 10th Annual Small Business Saturday, marking a decade of support from American Express for local business owners. Since it started in 2010, consumers have reported spending an estimated $103 billion across all Small Business Saturdays combined. That’s $103 billion toward helping communities thrive, spent over just nine days alone. Businesses that will be participating in Schroon Lake’s Small Business Saturday include: Adirondack Buffalo Company, Alpine Pizza, Adirondack General Store, Adirondack Jellystone Park, Local Artisans and Crafters Expo, DeCesare’s Pizzeria, Flanagan’s Pub and Grill, Lazy Moose Market, Paradox Brewery, Pine Cone Mercantile and Provisions, Rocky Acres Sewing & Alterations, Rowe’s Adirondack Cabins, Schroon Lake Chamber, Schroon Lake Massage and Wellness, Schroon Lake Pharmacy, Schroon Lake Wine and Liquor, Sticks and Stones Restaurant, Stirring
Creations, Trail Break Restaurant and Towne Store. Palisano said the event is beneficial both to merchants and shoppers — and to the community at large. According to American Express, two-thirds of every dollar spent at a small business in the U.S. stays in that local community. “That means shopping small could help bring things like better schools, smoother roads, and new jobs to neighborhoods across the country,” American Express said in a release. Merchants and consumers can learn more about Small Business Saturday and how to get involved by visiting ShopSmall.com ■

TICONDEROGA | Despite premature frigid temperatures and wintry precipitation, some folks are actually getting ready for the biggest summer bash of the year. The Best 4th In The North Committee will host a chicken BBQ on Thursday, Dec. 5, (as part of the 10th-annual Ticonderoga Area North Country Christmas Celebration), with proceeds benefiting Ti’s blowout Fourth of July celebration. The 2020 Best 4th In The North Celebration will take place July 1-4, with fireworks, parade, live music, food, vendors, rides and games attracting a throng of visitors and pulling in added revenue for local businesses. The Best 4th In The North Celebration usually weighs in at a hefty $30,000 a year—most of which goes for the cost of fireworks, bands and other entertainment—and depends on this fundraising event to make the magic happen. While the Town of Ticonderoga does provide some funding, most is brought in by the committee’s fundraisers. “We invite all of you to attend this event to support the 4th of July celebration. Without the support of the Town of Ticonderoga, our area businesses, organizations, community members, and vendors, this celebration would not be possible,” said Debbie Barber, Best 4th In The North Committee Chairperson. Donations are tax-deductible. Dinner will be held at the Knights of Columbus in downtown Ticonderoga (153 Montcalm Street) starting at 5:00 p.m., and

CURALEAF UNVEILS NEW PRODUCT
Raw cannabis available for medical marijuana patients By Sarah Elizabeth Morris STAFF WRITER
PLATTSBURGH | Curaleaf in Plattsburgh unveiled its latest product last Wednesday, Nov. 20 - raw cannabis flower pods. The ground up medical marijuana is available for those with a medical marijuana card throughout Clinton, Franklin, Essex, Warren, St. Lawrence and Saratoga counties through Curaleaf’s free delivery system. Not only is the product cheaper than other oral forms Curaleaf sells, but it’s safer than the illicit market cannabis. “It’s the first time that whole flower is available in New York state,” Assistant Manager Steven Howell said. “It’s regulated and tested through New York state - it’s high quality medical cannabis.” The raw cannabis works faster than pills as it rapidly sets into the bloodstream, whereas other oral products take about an hour to two hours to metabolize through the liver for consumers begin to feel the affects. The raw form is around the same price as street-sold marijuana with 700mg of pure cannabis for $55. “It’s meant to be vaped, not smoked,” Howell said. “When you’re vaping you are really utilizing the best palliative effects of
Curaleaf staff: Curaleaf has a number of pharmacists and experts that can sit down and discuss what medication would be best for patients. The store has a number of different products that can fit anyone’s needs. Photo by Sarah Elizabeth Morris
the cannabis effect, whereas smoking burns away some of the best cannabinoids that are available in the plant.” The vaping heats up the product to under 400 degrees, the perfect temperature to get all the effects of the plant, according to Howell. When the product is smoked, the carcinogens are burned away with over 1,000 degrees. Due to recent panic over illicit vaping products, Curaleaf stresses that its products are safe and does not contain any vitamin E, an oil that is used to cut down THC in cartridges. It can cause breathing problems and even death. Curaleaf states that “unlike vaping cannabis derived from oil, vaping raw cannabis plant does not include excipients.” Different pains, disorders and more is treated by different products. The store has a variety of cannabis products which different levels of CBD and THC. There are different strains and flowers in oil, pill, food, tablets and lotion form. Curaleaf always has pharmaceutical staff in the store and will talk to customers for a medical marijuana plan. “We would encourage patients who are using illicit products to please stop in and just see if they qualify to become a medical patient,” pharmacy manager Kirsten Bezio.“It’s eye opening when you transition to medical cannabis.” Curaleaf in Plattsburgh is located at 345 Cornelia St. and is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. To get in touch for questions or to set up an appointment, the Plattsburgh location’s phone number is 518-930-4340. ■

Quilts by Buffie Vereecke of Ticonderoga will be on display Dec. 6 at the Ti Arts Gallery on Montcalm Street. Photo provided gallery is dedicated to having shows of different mediums and is also glad to host artists from the community. Vereecke has been quilting for 25 years, and her work is a staple of the Brookwood RV Resort store on Route 9N in Ticonderoga, an establishment owned by Buffy and her husband Mark Jacoby. Vereecke said her aunt, Doris Kennedy,
“truly blessed me by giving me quilting lessons on fabric selection, paper piecing, applique and much more. In turn, I have enjoyed passing on the gift by giving quilting lessons to others who want to learn.” By donating her quilts, she has helped raise funds for Church ministries, to comfort cancer victims going through chemotherapy, as well as newborns and veterans. ■

Revised, expanded maps include Ticonderoga, Pharaoh Lake Wilderness area to border
WESTPORT | Champlain Area Trails (CATS) has published two new trail maps that cover hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing opportunities in the Champlain Valley. The Central Champlain Valley Trail Map is the latest update of the trail map first published 12 years ago, which covers a geographic area from Peru south through Ticonderoga and into northern Warren County. New this year, the Northern Champlain Valley Trail Map expands north from Willsboro Point to Canada. Both maps include topographical detail so hikers will know the physiologic context of the trails they’re hiking. All trails are listed in an easy-to-read chart showing descriptions, length, and degree of difficulty of and directions to each, and special features, such as overlooks and suitability for cross-country skiing or bicycling. Funding for the maps came from a grant from

Opinion
Thoughts from Behind the Pressline
Season of light and joy
suncommunitynews.com/opinions
By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER
The joys of living life to the fullest are the opportunities to renew and celebrate our traditions. Holiday preparations and events serve to bring family and friends together while strengthening the bonds between them. Thanksgiving serves as an important kick-off to many of the traditions important in our lives. We each have those that are unique and very personal, but throughout your life, they conjure special memories and warm thoughts of years gone by. Even when we suffer through a difficult period or a meal that went bad, it’s the lasting memory that builds those unique layers of the tradition that further enriches the shared memory. Unfortunately, as time marches on, so do some of the traditions that stood firm throughout the years. Traditions change as a result of many factors. The passing of time, places and people can affect those events over the years. In some cases only then do we begin to appreciate the value of those traditions and the effort put forth by those who made them special to you. There is an important lesson in these traditions. The most important lesson is the ability to share your traditions with others, inviting them into the unique experience that was once new to you. While the tradition may evolve the ability to pass along from previous generations, not only the importance of the tradition but how those individuals from the earlier generations valued and shared the tradition. It’s those stories passed down and shared that make these events so very personal. It seems harder these days to “get in the holiday mood.” When we reflect on the world, with so much commercialism, anger, and disagreements over faith-based holidays we tend to hold back for fear of offending others. Joy and faith are still alive, and it’s up to each of us to find it in our lives and share it with those around us, especially those who really need to lighten up a little bit and see what they are missing. We all need this seasonal celebration to brighten our lives and our world. Keep in mind how you might help the less fortunate, a shut-in neighbor or just a warm greeting to a perfect stranger. On behalf of our SUN family to you and yours, may your joy and happiness be strongly rooted in family and friends this season, and may the light of love touch your heart like never before. Thank you.

Wisdom from Across the Lake
To the Editor: Without a doubt this last week has been deeply uncomfortable for anyone watching the Intelligence committee’s hearing in Congress. No matter from which side of the aisle you were watching, the sometimes emotional speeches by various congressional members were definitely being whipped into a frothy foam meant mostly to galvanize one side or the other. I was lucky to see most of all the coverage in real time. It was riveting at times and also strange theatre at others. But most importantly, it was historic. It was our Constitution in action. It was the very best of American government in the process of painful but necessary self-examination…. and a moment of deep inquiry into the nature of executive power and the possibility of abuse of that power. The fact-witnesses were consummate professionals who risked national ridicule to come forward to speak what they saw, what they heard and what they knew. How some of them were trolled and criticized was more than unfortunate, it was unprofessional and disrespectful. But seeing in real time how some of these witnesses were being attacked, sometimes by the highest office in the land, made me even prouder to be an American where this kind of Truth to Power process can even take place….and it made me grateful for the wisdom and clarity that came from none other than Peter Welsh, the representative from

Freedom is not a given
To the Editor: Back in July, you folks printed a note of mine regarding the long ago connection of the stars and stripes to thosw who really care about their living free. Those three days are related to our most recent day, Veterans Day. It used to be called Armistice Day back after WWI. Those same folks with their bad attitude toward our country just manifestated it again. “Old Glory,” was not attended to at the 11th hour, and worse, “Old Glory was left unattended at half-mast almost a week now. Bad weather is no excuse for this ignorance toward our flag. I am sure that any veteran feels the same. Freedom is not a “given.” It has to be earned. God bless America. — Bob Spring, Ticonderoga ■

ST. JOE’S NAMES CONNORS AS BOARD CHAIR
Vince Connors, pictured, has been named as Chairman of the Board of St. Joseph’s Rehabilitation Centers. Photo provided SARANAC LAKE | St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment & Recovery Centers, based in Saranac Lake, has announced
that Vince Connors has been named as chairperson of the agency’s board of directors. Connors, a 1985 graduate of St. Joseph’s, succeeds Deacon Stephen DeMartino, of Croton-on-Hudson, as board chair. DeMartino provided leadership for St. Joseph’s Board from 2008 to 2019 and will remain on the board as vice chair. Connors, a 34-year member of Saint Joseph’s alumni organization, the Fellowship, has been a Board member since 2001, having previously served as the Vice-Chair. Vince is a retired physician’s assistant from OPWDD’s Sunmount in Tupper Lake, where he worked for over 33 years, serving people with developmental disabilities. While the business operations of St. Joe’s and his Board governance responsibilities occupy most of his Board time, Vince is determined to further the Reducing the Stigma campaign initiated by New York state. “I look forward to the day when substance use disorders are accepted on par with other chronic diseases,” Connors says. “Unfortunately, there are negative connotations associated with the diagnoses associated with substance use disorders not associated with other chronic diseases,” he points out. “We are currently strategizing a campaign to address a specific issue that unfairly penalizes people with substance use disorders
who are in sustained, long-term recovery.” St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment & Recovery Centers operates a 67-bed coeducational inpatient facility, 25-bed long-term residential program for male Veterans, and a family program on their main campus in Saranac Lake. The agency provides adolescent inpatient treatment at their 28-bed coeducational facility, Rose Hill, in Massena; outpatient services through eight sites in Essex, Franklin, and St. Lawrence counties, Supportive Housing in Malone, Massena, Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga; Jail Programs in Essex and Franklin counties, and aftercare at their Supportive Living programs in Poughkeepsie, and Guest House in Schenectady. Recently, the agency began operations (Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to midnight, and weekends from noon to 8 p.m.) of its Open Access Center on the campus of Adirondack Health in Saranac Lake; and with its two Mobile Treatment Units serving Franklin and Essex counties. And, in 2020, St. Joseph’s will begin offering detoxification services. The agency’s complete Board includes: Harold Schmidt (Treasurer); Dr. Steven Tyrell; MGen. (ret.) Robert Kasulke, MD; Linda Ventura; Susan Lawson; Joseph Gray; David MacLennan; Lucy Hall-Gainer; Charles VanAnden; and Dr. Charles Morgan, M.D. ■
Gillibrand unveils legislation to support family caregivers WASHINGTON, D.C. | U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has unveiled the bipartisan Credit for Caring Act, legislation that would support family caregivers by helping to alleviate some of the financial challenges they may face. Family caregivers are family members who take care of a loved one that has a medical or behavioral condition or disability. Gillibrand’s new push comes after hosting roundtables and meetings across New York with older adults and disability rights advocates and hearing directly from them about their specific needs. According to the most recently available data, there are 2.6 million unpaid caregivers throughout New York state. The Credit for Caring Act would give
eligible family caregivers a tax credit of up to $3,000 to assist with out-of-pocket expenses related to caregiving. The tax credit would help families cover the myriad of expenses associated with caregiving, such as transportation, home modifications to accommodate a family member, and training or education for the caregiver. This legislation would be a first step toward providing much-needed financial relief for caregivers across New York. It would also help allow older adults and people with disabilities continue to live independently in their homes and stay in their communities with their families. “When family caregivers take on the expenses associated with the life and
well-being of their family members, the expenses can really add up and lead to significant financial stress. Family caregivers deserve to be supported for the extra responsibilities they take on in their role,” said Gillibrand. “One way to do this is through the bipartisan Credit for Caring Act, which would provide many family caregivers with a tax credit of up to $3,000 a year to help assist with the out-of-pocket expenses related to caregiving. I am proud to be a part of this first step toward providing some much-needed relief for caregivers from some of the financial challenges they face, and I urge my colleagues to support this bill.” “We thank Senator Gillibrand for
co-sponsoring the bipartisan Credit for Caring Act. This critical legislation offers a much-needed tax credit to help support our nation’s family caregivers who take on physical, emotional, and financial challenges in their caregiving roles. Family caregivers make it possible for older adults and people with disabilities to live independently in their homes and communities,” said Beth Finkel, state director, AARP New York. In addition to supporting the Credit for Caring Act, Gillibrand has co-sponsored the Social Security Credit for Caregivers Act, which would provide retirement compensation to individuals who had to leave their job to care for a family member. ■

Jones, Little introduce legislation to reduce road salt contamination
NORTH COUNTRY | Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Plattsburgh) and Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) have announced that they introduced “The Randy Preston Salt Reduction Act” to tackle road salt pollution in the Adirondacks by establishing the Adirondack Road Salt Reduction Task Force and conducting an Adirondacks reduction pilot program. Jones and Little announced the measure during a recent press conference held at the village offices in Saranac Lake. “During the winter months, and especially in the North Country, road maintenance is critical so drivers can safely get where they need to go,” Jones said. “However, the pollution from years of excessive salt use has allowed harmful and toxic substances to wreak havoc on the environment and contaminate local wells, putting our families’ health at risk. We have worked with clean water advocates, residents, and local government partners, especially the late Randy Preston, who was a champion on this issue and who the legislation is named for, to find good, feasible solutions to maintaining roads that both preserve our natural resources and protect the safety of our loved ones.” “As we’re seeing in Lake George and other communities, technology is helping highway departments continue to do the very

important work of keeping our roads safe during winter travel but in a manner that is more protective of the environment,” said Little. “I think there will be a real benefit of looking at this issue parkwide and developing a strategy that ensures ‘best practices’ are used to the greatest extent possible. When you think of the health of our lakes, rivers and streams and private wells, prevention would certainly seem to be worth the effort.” While ensuring that drivers can safely travel winter roads is a top priority, road salt has contributed to pollution in the Adirondack Park, contaminating private wells and groundwater and seeping into area lakes. A recent study from the Adirondack Watershed Institute of Paul Smith’s College showed that of nearly 500 wells it tested throughout the Adirondack Park, 64 percent of wells downhill from state roads had sodium levels exceeding the federally recommended health limit of 20 parts per million (ppm). A portion of those wells also exceeded the 250 ppm recommended health limit for chloride, a component of salt, with some measuring around 1,000 ppm. The excessive salt use also has a harmful effect on local lakes and wildlife. The legislation would establish the Adirondack Road Salt Reduction Task Force, which would gather and summarize

From COUNTY TAXES » pg. 1
The overall tax rate in 2020 will be $3.32 per thousand, which is less than a 1% increase over the current year. Health insurance will be 2% higher than in 2019, but that’s a far cry from the 13% Excellus asked for when negotiations began. Palmer said that could have cost taxpayers an additional $8 million to $9 million, not counting the drug card. “It’s not something we would have settled for, Palmer said. Through a broker, the county was able to significantly negotiate the price down. Had Excellus not budget, the county would have shopped elsewhere. “We knew we had other offers,” Palmer said. ■

The signature of ash borer damage is a “blonding” of the trunk where dead bark has fallen off. But by the time this happens it’s too late to save the tree. Two of the invaders that are among the most carefully watched are the woolly adelgid, which attacks hemlocks, and the Asian long-horned beetle, which threatens hardwoods including the sugar maple. Both are currently south of the park, but there are strong concerns that their absence may be temporary. The adelgid is identified by a white, waxy substance where the needles attach to the twig; the long-horn beetles leave a hole in the hardwood the diameter of a pencil. Both can be devastating. Fogden showed a photograph of a forest infested by adelgids, with dead trees appearing as cones of gray ash amid the surviving pine and spruce. And the beetles have the potential to wipe out the northern sugar bush, a key piece of the park’s

culture and economy. These invasive pests — mostly having arrived from China, Korea and Japan on wooden shipping pallets — thrive here because would-be domestic predators “don’t recognize them as food,” Fogden said. Even the Adirondack winters are no longer the guardian they once were. While temperatures still drop below zero, there are no longer the prolonged sub-zero periods in past eras could be counted to wipe out pests accustomed to more temperate climes. And some of the invasives sound like the stuff of science fiction, such as the spotted lantern fly that’s ravaging parts of Pennsylvania. It doesn’t just attack its host tree, it secretes a sticky residue that grows black mold. The colorful fly is partial to the tree of heaven and also sucks nutrients out of fruit trees and grapevines. That’s an obvious concern to the North Country’s orchards and vineyards, Fogden said. ■

Recommendations from the task force would be due by Sept. 1, 2021, and would serve as a guide for the state departments to reduce the sodium and chloride levels in surface and groundwater. This legislation will address pollution that’s gone on far too long, helping ensure that our families have access to clean drinking water and that the Adirondack ecosystem isn’t irreversibly compromised, Jones and Little noted. “We have an emerging clean water crisis in the Adirondacks, stemming from decades of heavy road salt application on our state highways,” said William C. Janeway, Executive Director of the Adirondack Council. “State leadership is needed now, before this problem gets too big to tackle. We thank Assemblyman Jones and Senator Little for stepping into this important role. This bill will help New York to preserve the safety of our roadways and while protecting lakes, rivers and clean drinking water at the same time.” ■

Essex Co. reviewing e-Poll book technology Future of state funding for Early Voting is uncertain By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER
ELIZABETHTOWN | Commissioners are looking at state recommended technology designed to streamline Early Voting systems. But they are balancing concerns of cost and actual efficiencies, especially in rural areas. Next year is a big year for elections. “Next year it will be the presidential primary currently scheduled for April. It will be the local primary in June (local, state
and federal) and then the November General Election,” Board of Elections Commissioner Allison McGahay told supervisors at a Public Safety meeting. “That will be three elections, a total of 27 days of early voting. If you’re doing the math (for one central location) that will be 120 hours per election times three. We need eight election inspectors to man the Public Safety center, and we pay them $12 an hour.” McGahay estimated a total $145,000 cost for Early Voting over five years, counting 12 elections. At the Division of the Budget, spokesman Freeman Klopott told the Sun that $28,645 was allocated to Essex County for reimbursement of Early Voting this year. Klopott said the county is also scheduled to receive $37,274 from a $14.7 million pot of state monies for new equipment or other
capital costs. Some counties have already purchased e-poll tablets, essentially iPads that check names of early voters off the roll. The tablets do not record or tally the vote. But they do store voter data. “So far we don’t have to purchase the poll books. We’ve seen them. We’ve looked at them,” McGahay told supervisors. “We understand that they are beneficial, definitely, to the bigger counties.” But smaller counties have different challenges, she said, especially as costs relate to internet connections, telecommunication infrastructure and/or routers for access to county servers. “Hamilton County is not purchasing (e-Poll books.) Schoharie County is not purchasing them. They’ll just continue on with the paper that they have right now, but some counties
are concerned that, in the future, this will be mandatory so we have to start planning,” McGahay said.
HOW TO FUND A MANDATE
At the Division of the Budget, Klopott told the Sun that holding state and federal primaries on the same day would save local governments an estimated $25 million. “(Gov. Andrew Cuomo) has said he supports consolidating the presidential, congressional and state primary elections, which would deliver tens of millions of dollars in savings.” Future funding for Early Voting has not been allocated, and will be addressed in the upcoming legislative session. But the Board of Supervisors here passed a resolution urging state lawmakers to enact a law that would add costs of any unfunded mandate to the state tax levy cap calculation for Essex County. ■

early, followed by 38 from North Elba, 29 from Westport, 27 from Keene and 26 from Willsboro, according to data from the county Board of Elections. St. Armand, farthest north, had 3 voters get to the early polls. Minerva, farthest south, had 5. And from Newcomb on the western edge of the county, 5 voted. “We recognize that the location of our single Early Voting poll site was challenging for voters in the west and southern parts of the county and hope to identify additional sites than can make Early Voting even more available to voters in 2020, when we will have three elections with three early voting periods,” Montgomery-Corey said. “We really appreciate the efforts of our poll workers and Board of Elections staff who performed so professionally with Early Voting.” McGahay was likewise pleased with the process. “It went very smooth. The site we used was perfect in that it was secure, well-lit, handicapped accessible, and open and available to the Board of Elections for use on evenings and weekends.” Early voter turnout was almost the same each day, McGahay said. “We had an average of about 40 voters each day. It was hardly a groundswell of early voters. McGahay is concerned on several fronts that added sites might prove fiscally unsound and even unsafe. The poll books and ballots have to be kept under lock and key, and guarded. “The public safety building was the only place that was secure enough to host early voting, with security throughout the day and cameras in every hallway,” she said. ■
STAFF WRITER
ELIZABETHTOWN | A total 294 people in Essex County took part in the inaugural round of Early Voting. The provision was made law in January and mandated one early polling site per 50,000 voters. The total 28,000 voters in this county had access to one location established at the Essex County Public Safety Building in the Town of Lewis. As Early Voting days approached, Board of Election Commissioner Allison McGahay told the county Board of Supervisors law requires them to hold nine days of Early Voting for each major election. The system put in place here accomplished the goal using hand-held scanners to read the bar code associated with each voter’s name, signature and town. The central polling site in Lewis was open every day with a mixed schedule to include evening and daytime hours. A major hitch came on Friday, Nov. 1, when it closed due to a county-wide emergency declaration from the Halloween storm. In its first year, numbers for Early Voting were slim, less than 1 percent of total voters. But the process seemingly worked smoothly. “Overall, Essex County’s first foray into Early Voting went well,” Elections Commissioner Sue MontgomeryCorey told the Sun. Every town had at least one voter cast a ballot in Early Voting. Of the 294 voters who took part, the largest number came in from Elizabethtown with 50 of that town’s roll voting

Crown Point adds another Eagle Scout Noah Peters achieved the rank of Eagle this past summer By Laura Achouatte STAFF WRITER
CROWN POINT | Crown Point may make it into the Guinness World Records for having two Boy Scouts graduate to Eagle Scout - an anomaly - this year. It’s an anomaly because out of all the young men eligible to receive Eagle rank in the country, only about 4-6 percent ever get to claim the status, and Crown Point gets to claim two this year.
CROWN POINT ADDS ANOTHER EAGLE
Noah Peters, of Crown Point, is currently attending his freshman year at SUNY Canton, majoring in psychology. His hopes are to move into law enforcement in the future. He’s also an Eagle Scout with Troop 70 of the Crown Point area. Over the summer, Peters obtained the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America organization. Reaching Eagle status is not an easy feat. To receive Eagle rank, a scout must achieve 21 merit badges and embody the “Scout Spirit” and follow several guidelines of Boy Scout oath, law, service, and leadership. In addition to the merit badges, to become an Eagle, one must complete an extensive service project; formulated, managed, and led by the scout. The service project is reviewed by the BSA to determine its worthiness. “It took a lot of years of work, many outings and camping trips, several things we did for the community,” said Peters, “I learned a lot about how to be helpful to my community. We learned leadership skills, how to have positive social interactions, and how to self-motivate.” Throughout his scouting career, Peters played many roles including: Bugler, Scribe

To become an Eagle Scout requires many years of devotion, dedication, and several late nights, as was Peters’ case. He was involved in his school athletics and music programs. Combining all his extracurricular activities, Peters often spent later hours of the day completing homework. For some young men, this may have created the perfect storm to give up something. However, Peters continued to persevere. He claims that his friendly competition with Eagle Scout counterpart and friend, Alex Russell, led them both to reach the Eagle rank. “I want to give a big thanks to Alex for
sticking through to the end, it wasn’t easy,” said Peters.
SCOUT PROJECT
Each Eagle has to complete a final project that is reviewed thoroughly for merit before he can gain the rank. Noah Peters’ project was to revive an unkempt cemetery. He worked extensively to bring back the Wolcott Cemetery, off of Lake Road in Crown Point, to a more presentable state. The cemetery dates back to the 1700 or 1800s time frame, had been falling into disarray, and was nearly in shambles. Peters cleared trees with the help of Dedrick’s Tree Service, mended broken headstones, cleaned
the headstones for better legibility, and up kept the grounds. It took many hours of dedicated service to get the cemetery back into order. The young man is very humble about his accomplishments and feels that he owes thanks to those that helped him along the way. “I also want to thank my parents, Brad and Tara Peters, for supporting me the whole time and Gene Staubitz for encouraging me to shoot for the Eagle rank. I also couldn’t have made it through without Steve Mildon, Troop 70, Mr. Hall, Mr. Johnson, Sandy and Mark Hinds, Bruce Burns, and Dedrick’s Tree Service,” finished Peters. ■

MIDDLETOWN | Moriah Junior Maddox Blaise re-wrote the Section VII record books Nov. 22 in the NYSPHSAA Class D semifinals against Tuckahoe, scoring five times and running for 305 yards in a 46-12 win. Blaise became the first running back in Section VII history to run for over 2,000 yards in a single season, finishing the night with a 2019 total of 2,125 yards and 21 touchdowns. “It was a crazy feeling to come out and have a game like that, but we all know we have another week of practice and need to get prepared because this is where we wanted to be,” said Blaise. “Holes were just opening up and my guys were just winning in the trenches.” Blaise gave credit to his line — Mark Maye, Mike Esposito, Cody Petro, Myles Madill, Chris Thompson and Mike Demarais — for the work they have done throughout the season. “It is really crazy to have this record, but it always starts with the line — that is a major part of it,” he said. “It’s unreal to see a back who has broken the school and sectional record and to be a part of that,” said Maye. “As a line, they did a lot of exterior stunts. It was hard to control at first but it opened up the middle and we took advantage of that.” “I think the best part of our defense was when we had the ball and they could not stop Maddox,” said coach Don Tesar. “Our offensive line blocked extremely well and he hit the holes hard and started to break tackles and go for big gains. My offensive line has surprised me each week and they continue to get better each week. “That is what we pride ourselves on,” added Tesar on the running game. “We were able to do that consistently today and we have been able to do it consistently over the years.” While Blaise was pounding the ball on the ground for the Vikings, the Moriah defense was equally impressive, led by Cody Petro’s 10 tackles and key tackles for loss by Mike Demarais. “We watched a lot of film and kept working at what we saw in practice all week,” said Petro. “We were able to get the job done.” “We had to go out there and execute,” said Demarais. “We had to study a lot of film so we knew what kind of plays they would run. It was a lot of effort by everybody.” “They mixed the pass and run as a team and we tried to clamp them up on the run and do what we could,” said Braden Swan, who had several tackles in the secondary to keep Tuckahoe plays from breaking for longer yardage. “We were able to shut down the run,” agreed Tesar. “Cody did a supper job up the middle. We were able to make them a passing team. It was a good team defensive win. A lot of people stepped up and made plays in a solid, defensive football game.”

PLATTSBURGH | Moriah junior Maddox Blaise and Saranac Lake senior Patrick Alberga were named as the top offensive and defensive players, respectively, for the 2019 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference football season. Blaise, who has helped lead the Vikings to the state semifinals and gained 1,820 yards on the season, was named the offensive player of the year by CVAC coaches. Alberga, who could be found in almost every opposing teams’ backfield throughout the season, was named both the CVAC defensive player of the year and lineman of the year for his work on both sides of the ball. Saranac Lake coach Eric Bennett was named coach of the year, and the Ray Holmes sportsmanship award went to Ticonderoga.

Blaise opened scoring in the first quarter on a 16 yard touchdown run to give the Vikings an 8-0 lead. In the second quarter, the Vikings started their fifth drive of the game on their own five yard line, with Blaise running the ball five times for 82 yards, including the final 31 on a touchdown run to extend the lead to 16-0, with Matt Diehl running once for 13 yards. “They put us down at the five and our first play was ripping off 25 yards,” said Tesar. “It was great blocking up front and Maddox ran hard.” The touchdown run tied Blaise for the Section VII single season rushing record, which he broke on the second play of the next Vikings drive on a four yard run. After a one yard run, Blaise then ran for another 31 yard scoring run, with the Vikings extending the lead to 24-0 and Blaise advancing to 1,999 yards on the season. Tuckahoe scored with 24 seconds remaining in the half with the Vikings almost responding on a 30 yard option pass from Blaise to Swan, who was tackled short of the goalline. Blaise eclipsed the 2,000 yard mark on Moriah’s first offensive play of the second half with a six yard run, becoming the first in sectional history two reach the mark. Mason Spring scored later in the drive on a two yard keeper for make the score 38-12. Tuckahoe responded on one 72-yard pass play to make the score 32-12, but the Vikings responded with another long run, including the final run for Blaise came in the fourth quarter, rushing for a 13 yard score for his fifth of the night and capping scoring at 46-12.
CSP NEXT
The Vikings (8-3) will now return to the Carrier Dome in Syracuse for the second straight year, facing the same team they did a year ago in Clymer/Sherman/Panama, who rallied from a 13-point halftime deficit to score a 28-27 win over Tioga in the other state semifinal. The game will take place Friday, Nov. 29, with a noon kickoff. “This team has worked so hard,” said Swan. “I have said in every interview this year our goal was to get back to the dome. Now that we have done that, we have to finish.” “It gives us a second shot and a time for revenge because we are playing Clymer again,” said Maye. “It’s going to be an adventure.” “It’s the best feeling ever,” said Demarais. “I think the majority of the team has a piece of Syracuse clothing and has been watching that team since they were young, so to play there two years in a row is just amazing.” “It’s a good feeling and these kids worked hard for it,” Said Tesar, choking back a tear. “It is a goal the kids wanted at the beginning of the year. They did not play their best football early in the season but they settled down and started to play great ball.” Both Petro and Tesar said defense will be key in the rematch. “We need to play better defense than we did last year and keep our heads high no matter what,” said Petro. “We have to do some things a little bit better against them this time around,” added Tesar. “Hopefully we can move the ball a little better than we did last season. Hopefully we can get a good week of practice and go down and make a few more plays.” As for a second year away from home on Thanksgiving, Swan said he was looking forward to the road trip. “Golden Corral will work for me,” he said. ■

Fruit, maple, honey producers urged to consider crop coverage NEW YORK | U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Jennifer Bosley reminds producers to review available USDA crop risk protection options such as the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP). NAP covers losses from natural disasters on crops for which no permanent federal crop insurance program is available, including forage and grazing crops, fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, floriculture, ornamental nursery, aquaculture, turf grass, ginseng, honey, maple sap, bioenergy and industrial crops. The following are the upcoming NAP crop coverage deadlines in New York for the 2020 crop year:
• Dec. 1, 2019: honey and maple sap. • Feb. 1, 2020: greens, herbs, lettuce, onions. • March 15, 2020: spring seeded fruits and vegetables, hops, sunflowers. • May 1, 2020: 2021 ornamental and nonornamental nursery crops. NAP policies allow producers to protect their investment by purchasing coverage for non-insurable crops. Natural disasters are an unavoidable part of farming and ranching and FSA programs like NAP help producers recover when they experience a loss.
NAP BUY-UP COVERAGE OPTION
The 2018 Farm Bill reinstates higher levels of coverage, from 50 to 65 percent of expected
production in 5 percent increments, at 100 percent of the average market price. Producers of organics and crops marketed directly to consumers also may exercise the “buy-up” option to obtain NAP coverage of 100 percent of the average market price at the coverage levels of between 50 and 65 percent of expected production. NAP basic coverage is available at 55 percent of the average market price for crop losses that exceed 50 percent of expected production. Buy-up coverage is not available for crops intended for grazing.
NAP SERVICE FEES
For all coverage levels, the new NAP service fee is the lesser of $325 per crop or $825 per producer per county, not to exceed a total of $1,950 for a
producer with farming interests in multiple counties. The 2018 Farm Bill NAP amendments specify that qualified veteran farmers or ranchers are now eligible for a service fee waiver and premium reduction, if the NAP applicant meets certain eligibility criteria. Beginning, limited resource and targeted underserved farmers or ranchers remain eligible for a waiver of NAP service fees and premium reduction when they file form CCC860, “Socially Disadvantaged, Limited Resource and Beginning Farmer or Rancher Certification For more information on NAP, service fees, premiums and sales deadlines, contact the Franklin County FSA office at 518-483-2850, the Clinton-Essex FSA Office at 518-561-4616 or visit www.fsa.usda.gov/nap. ■
