Essex County endorses EMS district bill Legislation would allow counties to create EMS districts to generate revenue By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex County Board of Supervisors moved a resolution in support of a state Senate bill giving counties the ability to create countywide EMS districts to the full board during its Economic Development Committee meeting Dec. 11. “I just got off the phone with Sen. (Betty) Little and she is introducing a bill, along with some of her colleagues, to amend the county law to allow counties to form emergency medical service districts,” Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland told members of the committee. “We could start a resolution of support for this from this committee to go through.” At present, only towns have the ability to create special districts, such as EMS, lighting or water, with some towns in the county already creating an emergency services district. » EMS Cont. on pg. 4

EASY WINTER HIKES OFFERED Snowshoes and skis needed for Moriah Challenge By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

MORIAH | The four-hike Moriah Challenge has restarted to accommodate snowshoers and cross-country skiers this winter. The Moriah Chamber of Commerce, which cosponsors the challenge with Champlain Area Trails (CATS), was cautioning people against hiking during hunting season, which has now ended, chamber

president Cathy Sprague said. “Now the challenge is back and they can snowshoe or whatever they like,” she said. “We’ll resume it early. They can go and hike this winter.” To complete the challenge, hikers must complete all four hikes, which include Belfry Mountain, Big Hollow/ Coot Hill, Cheney Mountain, and Crowfoot Pond trails. Maps are available at the chamber office in Port Henry during business hours or from CATS. Anyone who successfully completes the challenge and submits their information will receive a commemorative embroidered patch to celebrate their accomplishment, Sprague said. » Moriah Challenge Cont. on pg. 7

TICONDEROGA | When the Wagon Wheel Restaurant opened in 1957, owner Edna Davis wanted to provide a welcoming place with good food. Sixty yewars later, the Wicker Street and Racetrack Road eatery is still doing that, and Davis’s heirs are keeping it running smoothly. “We’re still going strong,” current owner Robbin Thatcher said at the restaurant’s anniversary celebration recently. “Some of our staff have been here for 20 years or more.” Raymond Thatcher Sr. and his wife, Patricia, took over as owners of the Wagon Wheel in 1977 from Davis, Mr. Thatcher’s aunt. Patricia Thatcher died in 1995.

New leader takes over Farmers’ Market Planning is underway for the 2018 Ticonderoga Farmers’ Market By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | The Ticonderoga Farmers’ Market’s 2017 season is over, but reviewing the season and planning for 2018 is already underway. Although the ground is covered in snow, market organizers are already planning for the next season. The Farmers Market will continue to operate at the Wicker Wood location at 1114 Wicker St. on Saturdays from July 7 to Oct. 13 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market has a new manager for 2018, Katelyn Chevier, who has new ideas and plans for the popular summer attraction, including a fifth-anniversary celebration. Chevier joined the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce staff in August 2017 as administrative assistant, with plans to become the Ticonderoga Area Farmers’ Market manager as her role grew. “I’m looking forward to the market manager position and a wonderful experience ahead with our farmers, vendors and consumers,” said Chevier. “I want everyone to know that I appreciate the importance of our food growers and suppliers as well as the local economy. “I’ll advocate for the support of agriculture, commerce and the community as a whole.” Special events are known to generate excitement, increase attendance and help to develop strong community support for farmers’ markets, she said. Throughout 2017, a number of events were held in coordination with the Ticonderoga Area

Farmers Market for the community and visitors. “Having all events and activities scheduled in advance and listed on a rack card for distribution was a milestone for us,” said Matt Courtright, executive director of the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, the market sponsor. “I’m always happy when activities are offered and this past summer there were numerous well-attended special events including kid’s activities, program, and live music. I believe the rack card allowed people to be aware of and plan for them.” The future of the market, including growth, location, events, and much more are always being reviewed by the chamber and the market committee, he said. “The chamber always is very strategic with their efforts and hopes to continue to grow the market to continue to serve the area,” he said. Local musicians also performed at the market throughout 2017, adding to the experience for those in attendance as well as the farmers and vendors. “Live music is perfect for the whole family,” said June Curtis, market adviser. “In 2017, we had a banner year, hosting a mix of local musicians every month in the season. In my mind, there is nothing more fantastic than listening to lively tunes while sauntering through the open air market, discovering the bounty displayed by our farmers and vendors and having the opportunity to sit and enjoy live music. The musicians seem to bring a festival (air) along with them to the market.” Former Market Manager Carol Wood Ramundo was a leader in teaching children about the important chain in the farm-to-table movement. “It was such fun creating activities for the kids and working with them on eco-friendly projects,” said Ramundo. “We fostered learning and enjoyed many crafts from decorating pumpkins to making race cars (for the annual car show) out of recycled paper towel rolls, all simple, safe and healthy.” Curtis said the Wicker Wood location has served the market well and they’re pleased

From left are June Curtis, Ticonderoga Area Farmers’ Market adviser, and Katelyn Chevier, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce administrative assistant and 2018 Farmers’ Market manager. Chevier will take over managing the market for 2018. Photo provided they were invited back. “This coming year, Carol and I are stepping back and taking on more oversight activities. while Katelyn Chevier is assuming the lead as the market manager,”Curtis said. “She most successfully held the arts director position at the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum this past summer and is well equipped in training and experience to manage the market.” The Farmers Market is sponsored by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce with the support of many organizations, businesses and individuals. If interested in becoming a sponsor for the 2018 Ticonderoga Area Farmers’ Market,

» EMS Cont. from pg. 1 But since the county is considering establishing an EMS district in order to generate revenue, the legislation is necessary. Gillilland said many counties in the state are considering similar endeavors as volunteer squads are increasingly becoming unsustainable. “Part of the advantage to that is that district would be exempt, in other words, exempt properties would have to contribute towards it, because it’s a special district,” said Essex County Manager Dan Palmer. “So it puts more people into the pool, so to speak, in order to pay for the service, because you don’t have to honor those exemptions related to all the rest.” Essex County contains $2 billion worth of tax exempt property. But those properties would not be exempt under a new EMS district. “I am hoping that the legislation provides that we have the authority to set up either benefit or special districts, so we can look at both scenarios to see,” Moriah supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Newcomb Supervisor Wes Miga asked if towns who have already set up EMS districts like his could opt out of a county wide program. “I think that’s still to be determined, countywide, but

yeah I think the intent has always been whether you opt in or opt out,” Palmer said. “My concern is, being on the outer perimeter of everything is the level of service and so we have set up the system nine years ago and it appears to work pretty well,” Miga said. “Everyone else is struggling with this and I am in support of attacking this issue, obviously our actions would dictate that we have already addressed that. I just want to maintain the same level of service or better than what we have right now.” Gillilland said, “I think the mechanics of however we’re

going to do and it how it affects me or how it affects my town are questions right now, but right now I think if we get this bill through then that becomes another tool in the tool box in which we can develop our own system.” “This is the first step,” Scozzafava said. “All those things are going to be looked at and I am sure that there’s a procedure. I mean we all know in special district formation, some of them are subject to referendum, permissive referendum. So, this is the critical first step just to allow us the authority to at least look into it.” ■

Thoughts from behind the pressline

Turning the page Where did this year go? As we turn the page on the New Year, we have an opportuniBy Dan Alexander ty to start anew with • PUBLISHER • a fresh outlook and renewed optimism that our economy is improving and the employment prospects are as bright as ever for anyone looking to make a difference in their life. Regardless if you agree or not, we have a new system of taxation that should begin to show up in our paychecks this February. Like anything that is inevitable, we can complain about what we don’t like in this new plan, or we can try our best to make the most of the new regulations while focusing on the positives. I learned a very long time ago — and I’m sure you did too when something different comes along — if you let others sway your thoughts and you assume the worst, your experience and attitude will set the tone for how you perceive everything associated with it. Our elected officials should not be pitting us against each other. As a nation, we cannot stand if we are at war with ourselves and 2017 has seen far too much of this infighting to allow it continued in the new year. Like any marriage, it takes two willing parties, lots of work, compromises, understanding, and patience to form a good working partnership. If you look for faults at every turn, you’ll see nothing but faults. We’ve been warned that not everyone will see a benefi t in the new plan. From what I can see, those who may pay more under this plan should count themselves among the lucky few to be earning enough to pay more to support our nation. As a freedom loving nation, we will never agree on everything, but once the course is set, we must each realize we have a responsibility to each other to do our best to make things work for the good of the nation. We share one country, and unless we are willing to see it torn apart, we need to look to the future and quit arguing about the past. Let’s all do our best to make 2018 a year of growth, prosperity, and harmony for all our citizens and the generations to come. ■

From the Editorial Board

Reform needed following video incident So the mayor really stepped in it. By now, everyone is familiar with the leaked video that saw City of Plattsburgh Mayor Colin Read and Councilor Michael Kelly discuss city business following the Common Council meeting on Dec. 14. The pair took shots at city workers, questioning automatic pay raises. They discussed how to get employees to retire, referring to incentives as “bribes.” And the pair discussed nightmare scenarios of what would happen if the City of Plattsburgh declared bankruptcy and dissolved into the Town of Plattsburgh, villainizing the latter in the process. At the center was a complicated dispute regarding payment-in-lieu of taxes agreements with a local power company. Again, the town was painted as the villain. The city is alleging the town carved the city out of the loop when it comes to renegotiating the lucrative payments, costing millions in lost revenues over the past decade. And to think, just recently, the leaders of the two Plattsburghs were exchanging birthday cakes. In one memorable public event last summer replete with mutual praise and beaming officials offering soaring rhetoric, the two Plattsburghs committed to work together on “all things Plattsburgh.”

Local government works best

To the Editor: Is our entire government dysfunctional? Congress threatens to shut it all down every month, the president advocates nuclear war and politicians settle sexual harassment claims with taxpayers’ money. Our state legislators are convicted for crimes such as bribery, assault, even embezzling money from a little league program. Here, it’s different. It snowed

So much for that. There’s really a lot to unpack in that video. What really struck us was the seething distrust of the town by the city, and how much daylight there is between how they perceive these different issues. The meeting between Kelly and Read certainly wasn’t illegal. But the hunt for a scapegoat appears to be overpowering the search for sustainable solutions. To his credit, Read is desperately searching for answers as to why the city is in such dire financial straits. And when he found a strand, he pulled. What came with it was decades of pent-up hostility, almost like excising a cyst. It was clear that Read didn’t have all the facts when discussing these issues with Kelly: Some of what the mayor told the councilor was conflated with other issues. Some complex items were oversimplified, and other important details were simply left out. And some items, to Read’s credit, were entirely accurate. Kelly appeared to drink it all in unquestioningly. In the wake of the abolishment of four city departments earlier this year, we criticized a flaw in the city’s charter that limits formal interac-

recently, a couple of inches. As I entered our beloved Upper Jay Post Office, there’s Sleepy from the Highway Department plowing the sidewalk, with a big smile and a wave. Ever been to Montreal in the winter? They don’t clear the sidewalks, walking is treacherous. But our roads were all plowed and sanded. In Seattle a little snow shuts down the city — the governor wants it to be declared a federal disaster area. Here our Highway Department is all over it, 24/7, two inches or two feet.

tions between city employees and councilors. We wrote this lack of regular interaction and funneling of info to the mayor “may have a chilling effect on communication, leading to a reduced understanding by councilors as to how these departments actually function.” In the video, Read appeared to be lecturing a student in a smooth, professional tone. Theirs didn’t appear to be an even relationship. But how can we blame Kelly for taking the mayor at his word when his access to information is so limited? We shudder to think how much policy has been crafted over the years by the mayor — whether by Read or his predecessors — as a result of sharing incorrect or incomplete information with lawmakers. The city needs to reform its charter to allow for broader interaction between councilors and city employees. Period. Perhaps if lawmakers had access to more information, these issues and conspiracy theories wouldn’t have been allowed to fester all of these years. And to put it more bluntly, the mayor has too much power. In the tone of building more trust between everyone, lawmakers should learn from this valuable experience and gather all the facts before jumping to conclusions. ■

Preston, Gillilland to seek re-election Essex County chair, vice chair seek another year term By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston announced to fellow members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors he will seek to serve another year as the legislative body’s chairman. Preston announced his intentions at the end of the Dec. 18 public works meeting, adding he would like to see Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland return as the co-chair of the board. “I think the overall cooperation with the board to move

forward and get things accomplished has been a positive step over the past year,” Preston said. “We are all here for a common goal for this county and we all play well together.” Gillilland said he would seek the nomination as vice-chairman. “I think Randy and I are a good team,” he said. Preston and Gillilland were both elected to their current positions by the county in January, after Preston had served a short term as interim chairman following Keene’s William Ferebee, who left the board for a job within the state. The organizational meeting of the Essex County Board of Supervisors is tentatively scheduled to take place Tuesday, Jan. 2, 10 a.m. in the Old Courthouse. ■ Randy Preston and Shaun Gillilland will each seek another term as the Essex County Board of Supervisors’ chair and vice-chair, respectively.

Stefanik co-sponsors sexual harassment bills Legislation designed to give voices to victims By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WASHINGTON, D.C. | Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) has co-sponsored several pieces of legislation designed to crack down on sexual harassment. Rep. Pete Olson of Texas and Stefanik introduced the Responsible Settlements for Victims and Taxpayers Act on Thursday. The bill will require members of Congress found guilty of harassment to reimburse the U.S. Treasury for settlements paid out to victims — not taxpayers. “Taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for lawmakers’ inappropriate behavior,” said Stefanik in a statement. “This commonsense legislation addresses the recent and shocking reports of abuse by some on Capitol Hill, and it protects hard-earned taxpayer dollars.”

Olson called recent reports of harassment “disgusting and wrong on every level.” “The notion that any claims of harassment have been settled at taxpayer expense is simply indefensible,” he said in a statement. The proposed legislation comes after reports revealed the U.S. Treasury paid $84,000 in settlements to a former aide who accused Rep. Blake Farenthold, a Texas Republican, of sexual harassment. “This bill is one more important step to protecting our workspaces from abuse,” Stefanik said. The legislation would also allow authorities to dock retirement payments if lawmakers refuse to pay. The #MeToo movement has seen scores of prominent celebrities, journalists and public figures accused of sexual abuse and harassment. Several prominent politicians have been felled by the revelations, including U.S. Sen. Al Franken, a Minnesota Democrat, and John Conyers, a New York congressman. As revelations of abuse have continued to trickle out, the House unanimously passed

legislation this month to make sexual harassment training mandatory for all members. But Stefanik said that was the first step of many. Her proposed bill joins legislation the lawmaker co-sponsored earlier this month to void forced arbitration agreements. Stefanik rolled out the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Harassment Act of 2017 with a bipartisan group of lawmakers, including U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and former “Fox & Friends” host Gretchen Carlson, who left the network after enduring years of sexual harassment. An estimated 60 million Americans are subject to forced arbitration clauses, according to Stefanik’s office. But critics say the clauses silence women by barring them to openly discuss their sexual harassment cases and taking them to trial. “They have to go into a secret meeting with their employer and try to work out some kind of deal that really only protects the predator,” said Gillibrand in a statement. “They are forbidden from talking about what happened, and then

they are expected to keep doing their job as if nothing happened to them. No worker should have to put up with such an unfair system.” Voiding the clauses would allow survivors of sexual harassment or discrimination to discuss their cases publicly and eliminate institutional protections for harassers. Employees are far more likely to win cases that go to trial than cases that go through the arbitration process, according to materials provided by Stefanik’s office. “Story after story continues to come forward detailing shocking realities about the pervasiveness of workplace sexual harassment,” said Stefanik. “I share the outrage of Americans across our nation at these revelations and commend the brave men and women who have stepped forward to shine a light on this epidemic.” Stefanik said shedding light on these cases may also stop harassment from occurring in the future, and said she’d work to continue to gain GOP co-sponsors for the legislation. “As policy makers, it’s time for us to join together and put an end to sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace,” she said. ■

Essex County Public Health seeks national merit Accreditation program being worked on By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex County Health Department is working to receive national accreditation for their services, and have received an important state award because of it. » Moriah Challenge Cont. from pg. 1 To claim a patch, provide the Moriah Chamber of Commerce with the dates that each of the trails was hiked. The information can be dropped off at the chamber office at 4317 Main St. in Port Henry, to pick up a patch, or email the information and address to moriahchamber@gmail.com and they will mail a confirmation letter and patch. There is no charge for the patches, but a donation would be appreciated, Sprague said. She said a new supply of patches, which were designed by local artist Linda Smyth, has just been received by the chamber. “The Moriah Challenge is a family-friendly

Andrea Whitmarsh, public health coordinator, told members of the county Human Services Committee on Dec. 11 that the department had received a Chronic Disease Performance Incentive Award from the state. “The state wanted to encourage programs that are not accredited to become accredited,” Whitmarsh said. “We applied since we were already working on this, and out of 17 small-sized counties, we were one of eight that were awarded. Hopefully it shows we are going in the right direction.” Whitmarsh added that the department used a lot of the work they have done towards national accreditation to earn the state award.

“It really fit in with what we were doing and helps us hopefully know how solid our documentation was,” she said. Whitmarsh said that national accreditation is something the department has wanted to do in order to become more competitive for grants and awards as well as improve their programs and services. “It’s a lot of work and preparation and a huge undertaking for us,” Whitmarsh said. “We are in the big part of the work, which is to gather all of the documentation required and get it to the accreditation agency by August.” The accreditation would come through the Public Health Accreditation Board. ■

DPW report has buildings coming down, going up Garrow to return as department head By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | While Essex County still works to get rid of hazardous buildings on the former Frontier Town in North Hudson, work is well underway for the new senior nutrition kitchen in Westport. Department of Public Works committee members approved funding to Atlantic

Testing Laboratories to conduct asbestos testing and abatement for two structures on the Frontier Town property, which Jim Dougan indicated were the log motel building on Route 9 and a neighboring house. The board also received a report on the work being done on the new county kitchen, which is being built on the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport. The report stated contracts had been awarded to Adirondack Concrete for sitework and concrete; Harold Clune for electrical; LH LaPlante for plumbing and HVAC; and JFP Enterprises for general construction. It was reported underslab electric and

The motion received a unanimous second and will now head to the Ways and Means committee later this month. ■

Action taken on derelict buildings Problems with 32 Ti abandoned properties remedied By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | Town of Ticonderoga officials say they’ve made substantial progress against derelict properties in the community. During the past few months, the town has remedied code violations in 32 of the 42 mortgage-related abandoned properties in Ticonderoga, some by work with the state Department of Financial Services using a new state law. “Derelict properties are an important problem for our town,” said Town Supervisor Joseph Giordano. “There is no silver bullet or quick fix for them. However, I am very pleased to see the significant progress that our code office, working with the state’s Department of Financial Services and with the support of the Zombie and Abandoned Properties Project, has made on these mortgage-related abandoned properties.” Problems with derelict properties in the community range from overgrown grass, trash and litter to severe problems that will require expensive demolition, he said. These properties create concerns with health, especially rodent infestation, and fire risk, and use of vacant properties for drugs and alcohol use. Meanwhile, the town government is often not collecting taxes on them, and the blight that they create hampers efforts to revitalize the town by drawing in new businesses and residents, Giordano said. While working on all categories of derelict properties, the Town Code Enforcement Office gave special attention to mortgage-related abandoned buildings. This is in part because of the start-up of a new state law that requires mortgage companies and banks to “secure and maintain” abandoned properties that are in mortgage arrears. Also, the Code Enforcement Office put in place a new electronic data base, allowing it to track problems and actions regarding abandoned properties, and systematically analyze and report on these problems and actions. Giordano said that was through support from the town’s new Zombie and Abandoned Properties Project, coordinated by the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance.

Abandoned and derelict homes in Ticonderoga are being addressed by the Town Code Enforcement Office. The 32 mortgage-related abandoned properties that had their code violations fixed did it both through Code Enforcement Office collaboration with the state Department of Financial Services, which presses the mortgage companies and banks, and through direct action with mortgage companies. Of the properties that have been seen remediation through these efforts, 25 had problems with overgrown grass only, while seven involved fixing more serious problems. Ten properties in this group still remain to have their

problems fixed, which are being worked on by the Code Enforcement Office, the supervisor said, including collaborating with Department of Financial Services directly on several of them. “We will continue to work hard on the remaining caseload in this category, and to give special attention to those derelict properties that are owned outright,” Giordano said. “This will include taking more cases to court as necessary, including through the use of additional funds from the Zombie and Abandoned Properties Project.” ■

Rail car company pulls cars from Adirondacks Union Tank Car Company moves swiftly to move cars following state action By Pete DeMola EDITOR

MINERVA | As many as 65 unused rail cars will be removed from tracks in the central Adirondacks following state intervention. The Union Tank Car Company on Tuesday announced the cars temporarily stored on lines owned by the Saratoga & North Creek Railway (SNCR) will be removed by mid-January. William Constantino, general manager for leasing for Union Tank Car Company, said the Chicago-based firm selects the storage provider, “but not the precise storage location.” “We regret the railroad’s decision to place some of our rail cars in the Adirondack Park, which raised public concern about their effect on the park’s beauty and environment,” said Constantino in a statement. “We are acting to remove all Union Tank Car units from the Adirondack Park as soon as possible, relocate them to other areas outside the state of New York until they are returned to service, and ensure none of our cars are stored in the Adirondack Park in the future.” Plans to store up to 2,000 cars on the Tahawus Line have been a lightning rod since plans became public in October, with environmental groups and local officials quickly mobilizing against the measure, which SNCR defended as a way to generate revenue. The state Department of Environmental Conservation estimated 75 cars are currently on-site. STATE EFFORTS Union Tank Car is a subsidiary of the Warren Buffettowned Berkshire Hathaway. The decision comes less than a week after Gov. Andrew Cuomo directly appealed to Buffet to remove the cars, and said the state would “exhaust all legal options” to torpedo the storage plan along some 30 miles of tracks through the central Adirondacks. Cuomo called the decision an “important victory for New Yorkers.”

“The Berkshire Hathaway’s Union Tank Car Company ultimately did the right thing by heeding our call to remove these eyesores from the Adirondack Park,” Cuomo said Tuesday in a statement. The governor again urged Iowa Pacific Holdings, the parent company of SNCR, to halt their plans to bring in more cars, citing a cease and desist order issued last week by the state. SNCR has said they aim to store as many as 2,000 cars on the tracks. And more will follow, the firm said on Wednesday. ‘HUNDREDS OF CARS’ The Chicago-based firm countered that the state should purchase SNCR’s interest in the freight easement if they wanted the cars gone. “My client will agree to stop storing rail cars if the state, or an agency of the state, enters into an agreement to purchase my client’s interest in the freight easement that it owns in perpetuity,” IPH Counsel David Michaud wrote in a letter to DEC Deputy Commissioner and Counsel Thomas Berkman on Wednesday. Under such an agreement, SNCR would require the purchase price reflects a recoupment of its investment in the railroad, including the costs of “hiring hundreds of workers over the years despite a negative working capital,” Michaud said. “Short of such an agreement, however, SNCR will continue to store rail cars on its line, and in fact, has plans to bring in hundreds of more cars over the next few months.” Michaud put the total investment since 2011 at between $4 and $5 million. CALLS FOR FEDERAL INTERVENTION The railway has said the long-term plan was never to store rail cars, but was rather forced to get creative when it came to generating revenue after plans to transport materials from two local mines failed to materialize. SNCR was authorized by the federal Surface Transportation Board to become a common carrier for freight along the line in 2012.

But the state is now appealing to STB to revoke that decision and have the railway declared abandoned. While railroads are governed by federal transportation law, states are permitted to enforce stricter environmental regulations as long as the action doesn’t “prevent the lawful operation of a railroad or interfere with interstate commerce,” said the Adirondack Council, a leading critic of the storage plan. “The Adirondack Council hired and is still retaining special attorneys in Albany and Washington, D.C. to secure legal remedies to the junkyard, which the organization says is illegal under state and federal law,” said Executive Director WIlliam Janeway in a statement Wednesday. SNCR is within its legal rights to store rail cars on the line, said Michaud, and that the DEC’s abandonment action had “no merit.” “And even if there was, a favorable ruling would not prevent the storage of railcars,” Michaud wrote. “Once again, the salient point here is that my client owns the Tahawus branch freight easement in perpetuity. An abandonment action would do nothing to impact my client’s state property rights.” LOCAL OFFICIALS REACT Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally fervently lobbied against the storage plan, and welcomed the Union Tanks Company’s decision. “I appreciate Gov. Cuomo’s efforts for helping to end the ill-advised plans to store tanker cars in the Adirondacks,” McNally told The Sun. “Gov. Cuomo continues to be a great advocate for the people who live and work in the Adirondacks.” Critics said the outcry is bad for business in the Adirondack Park. “New York, open for business,” said Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is also exploring legal options at the federal level, she told The Sun earlier this year. Stefanik’s office was closed for the holidays and the lawmaker was unavailable for comment on Wednesday . ■

Winter concert series coming to Westport

Heritage House to host inaugural winter performance series

“We also have a local teacher, Jay Fiegl, in our March performance. He is very talented and connects on a profound level with his audience.” And Camp Dudley is presenting a night of stand-up comedy with Marlin Fisher and friends come April. “Marlin has been connected to Westport since he was a camper at Camp Dudley many, many years ago,” Gibbs said. “And for our final show in May, Zinkie and the Billtones will change things up and provide us with some excellent jazz music and Latin standards to get us revved for the coming warmer months.”

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT | Organizers with the Westport Chamber of Commerce’s Heritage House Committee are thrilled this winter to launch a new Music and More concert series. It comes with the New Year and a first show in January. After months of planning and securing local business sponsorship, the space inside Heritage House is ready. Emma Gibbs is helping coordinate marketing for Westport Chamber of Commerce. “We’ve found that Westport is going through a revitalization currently and the Heritage House is one critical part of the whole,” she said last month. “This is not only a heritage and visitor center, but also a community center and venue: A center that is able to shed light on the past of this town and area and also rise and change for the future.” With the addition of the indoor country market last year and expansion this year, the community space in what was originally the Northwest Bay Baptist Church has focused on economic and community growth, she said. “The music series is a logical outgrowth of the community offerings that we are working to bring to Westport. Our ultimate goal is for the Heritage House to be a community focal point for more and more residents and visitors, and we do feel that we are already well on our way,” Gibbs said. Music and comedy are among performances lined up through May. “We care about making it affordable and accessible to anyone

LOCAL SPONSORS

The Heritage House in Westport is preparing to launch a winter concert series. Photo by Kim Dedam who is interested in attending, hence our decision to offer admission by donation,” Gibbs said. “This series is about highlighting the vitality and spirit of Westport even in winter months when many things have historically been closed down and quiet. We care about giving people performances to look forward to and something that they can be proud of.”

LOCAL PERFORMERS

Coming in January is Full Sap Moon, an Americana and bluegrass group based in Willsboro. “They are very connected to the Westport community through business ownership, for instance, Dan Rivera is the owner of Triple Green Jade Farm, part of the Westport Chamber of Commerce network,” Gibbs said. Besides being a farmer, Rivera plays guitar and tenor banjo. A Valentine’s show set for February features musician Michael G, a performer living in Westport who wanted to celebrate the season of love.

In addition to Camp Dudley, local businesses helping present Westport’s Music and More series include Chazy & Westport Telephone Corp., Champlain National Bank, Ernie’s Market and Venture North. “With all of our outdoor access and possibilities for sports and recreation, we also have a lot going on inside to keep us warm, happy and connected through the winter months. We want this to be a series for everyone,” Gibbs said. ■

EVENT SCHEDULE

Jan. 13: Full Sap Moon, Americana and Bluegrass Feb. 10: Michael G special Valentine’s show March 10: Jay Fiegl, music and story April 14: Martin Fisher & Friends, stand-up comedy May 12: Zinky and the Billtones, Jazz and Latin standards

Suggested donations are $10 individual or $15 family admission. All concerts begin at 7 p.m.

PSUC legend ‘Chip’ Cummings passes Putnam Station resident’s name adorns college field By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

PUTNAM STATION | The man whose name adorns the home of the Plattsburgh State baseball Cardinals and the Section VII high school championships has passed away. Charles Thomas “Chip” Cummings passed away Dec. 13 at Glens Falls Hospital after a long illness. He was 84. Cummings was a lifetime resident of Putnam Station, and his top passion in life was baseball. He moved on from high school to play for the Plattsburgh State Cardinals from 1953 until 1956, where he earned his nickname and had a career batting average of .350. Cummings gave back to his alma mater, serving as the director of the Plattsburgh Alumni Association and has been a member of the Board of Directors since 1977. In the early 2000’s, Cummings contributed the funds to build the 500-seat ballpark now known as Chip Cummings Field, which was opened in 2003. Cummings elected to the PSUC Hall of Fame in 1988. According to his obituary, Cummings had a long career in education, beginning in South Glens Falls where he taught fourth grade at the Bluebird School from 1956-1959, with stops in the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District (elementary school Principal), Canajoharie (Junior High Principal and Business Administrator) and Patchogue-Medford (Business Administrator). Cummings also led the New York State school ad-

Failure to receive grant reignites CCE concerns Cornell building not funded by state organization By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT | While several towns in Essex County received an early present from the state’s economic Santa Claus, others found a lump of coal in their stockings. In Westport, the hit was particularly harsh. The town failed to receive state grant funding for a $20,000plus dredging project at the town beach, as well as a near $11,000 tree removal project at the adjacent park. But the county also missed out on funding for the muchneeded Cornell Cooperative Extension building project, which totals over $800,000 to complete. The county had asked for $286,354 in state Regional Economic Development Council funding for safety issues at the CCE building, with a match of $93,624. They had also asked for $377,691 for a bell tower and rehabilitation project at the building, with a match of $125,879. “It’s very concerning the Cornell Cooperative Extension project did not receive funding,” Westport Supervisor Michael “Ike” Tyler said. “We need to rectify this situation on a building where the county has continually kicked the can down to the next board for 30 years now.” “We’re going to have tp take a step back now and look for another strategy,” said Essex County Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland, who also sits on the Fairgrounds Committee. “We have employees of agencies in that building and it is simply an unsafe place to work as of now, and we have to address that.” One of the biggest concerns at the CCE building is wiring, he said. “The safety of the electrical system is a huge concern,” he said, adding there is no evidence to tell the county if there will be concerns this coming August in regard to the annual Essex County Fair. “It’s possible there will be, but we have no plans right now,” he said. “There may be work going on at that time in the building and then we would have to look at relocating come of the fair functions at that time.”

Several county and town projects were not funded in the most recent round of Regional Economic Development Council grants, most noticeably the Cornell Cooperative Extension Building in Westport, which is in need of over $800,000 in repairs and safety upgrades. Photo by Jill Lobdell Along with the fair office, the CCE building hosts a display area and refreshment stand which is run yearly by the 4-H groups throughout Essex County. Gillilland said the county is currently set to go to closing on the former Jehovah’s Witnesses building in Lewis, where county leaders had discussed moving CCE and other agencies to earlier this year. “The whole buildings and grounds strategy is being evaluated right now to figure out where these people can go,” he added.

UNFUNDED PROJECTS

Tyler said he is also concerned about his other projects which did not get funded. “I will be applying for those funds again in the next round of REDC funding,” he said. “But it is very concerning they were not considered this time around.”

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava also expressed concern over not receiving funding for a $500,000 waterfront project. The town sought $363,105. “My concern is the infrastructure needs that we all have are being sent out to bid in a competitive situation,” Scozzafava said during the Dec. 18 county committee meetings. “You are putting municipalities from the county against each other in competition for these funds. To me, there is something very wrong here.” He recommended infrastructure needs should not be handled through the REDC. “They are needs that are there and are not affordable for those residents on the system and the system itself,” he said. “We should separate those needs from the EDC’s.” The town of Chesterfield was also shut out on a bid seeking $24,000 to help with work needed at the Underground Railroad Museum. ■
