contribution to the local economy. “It’s $5 billion which is a lot of money, but I say to the legislators every year and to the people of this state, it’s an investment,” the governor told a standing-room-only crowd gathered at the Hotel Saranac on Sunday. “We’re not taking $5 billion and throwing it out the window. We’re investing it in economic development and it will pay dividends and it has.” Cuomo outlined several key strategies put in place to support growth in the North County, through Regional Economic Development Council programs and infrastructure updates, including $240 million currently being spent to modernize Olympic Regional Development Authority ski, skate, bobsled and ski jumping venues. Another $1.2 million is set aside to fund hiking shuttles to help end the bottleneck on travel corridors around the High Peaks. “If you want to be current,” Cuomo said, “you have to modernize.”
Vermont filmmaker brings new work to Lake Placid From Staff Reports
LAKE PLACID | Jay Craven, one of Vermont’s leading and award-winning independent fi lmmakers, will be bounding across Lake Champlain this winter to introduce and discuss his latest movie, “Wetware” — a sci-fi film noir that tells a story of what happens when new technologies collide with human needs in a changing world precariously close to today’s. Craven will be on hand at LPCA to introduce his fi lm and participate in a post-screening Q&A discussion with audience members. “I wanted to tell an entertaining and timely story that had potential to engage audiences in open-ended consideration of our near future,” Craven wrote in an essay about the film. “And although ‘near future’ was totally new for me, it felt suddenly upon us.” The Adirondack Film Society (AFS) Screening Series at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts (LPCA), Version 6.0, continues Friday, Feb. 28, at 7 p.m. with this futuristic narrative feature that marks “a huge departure” for Mr. Craven, its writer-director, who says “Wetware” provided him with a chance to work with imaginative actors discovering “fresh details, in every moment, of what it is to be uniquely human in trying times.”

INVESTING IN THE NORTH COUNTRY
Depot Theatre unveils 2020 season Shows focus on heroes, storytelling and music By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER
W E S T P ORT | As the g reat African-American vocalist Billie Holiday lay dying of liver and heart disease in a New York hospital in 1959, police burst into her room, charged her with drug possession and handcuffed her to her bed. For security, a cop was posted at the door of the room she would never leave. Within a
month she was dead at age 44. It was the fi nal indignity in a life of discrimination and abuse, which likely had a significant contribution to her struggles with drugs and alcohol. There are notes of Jackie Robinson in the life of Billie Holiday, as she broke down color barriers, but not without consequence. Today, said Kenney Green, Producing Artistic Director for the Depot Theatre, her music is remembered, but not her confrontations with white America in the mid 20th century. “There are a lot of things people don’t know about her trials and tribulations,” Green said. Heroism, Greene said, is a theme of the Depot Theatre’s
2020 season, subscriptions for which are now on sale. Holiday’s story is told in the musical “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill,” one of four main-stage productions in a season that runs from June 19 to Aug. 27. The season, which expands from three to four shows this year, opens with “Working: A Musical” that celebrates the everyday heroes who keep the nation’s wheels turning by doing their daily jobs. Adopted from a book by Pulitzer Prize winner Studs Terkel, “Working” is derived from interviews with people from across the country, representing a cross section of vocations.
The impetus came from local leaders, he said, crediting U.S. Sen. Betty Little for her tireless work. The senator, from Queensbury, is retiring at the end of this year. “You have a tremendous advocate in Sen. Betty Little. You have local officials and people who just are the best we have...and you know that if you invest with them it will pay dividends, and therefore I feel good on behalf of people of the entire state saying we’re going to invest in the North Country.” Cuomo said Little helped shift the focus in Albany in the nine years they’ve worked together.

Unfair fares cited Essex County could be penalized for state’s medicab fiasco By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER
ELIZABETHTOWN | Two weeks ago some of the state’s top law-enforcement officials sent out news releases triumphantly announcing fi nes and jail time for a band of scofflaw Essex County taxi cab owners who, the officials said, had bilked Medicaid out of millions of dollars in cab fares. Medicaid reimburses the cost of travel allowing the poor access to doctors, addiction counselors, specialists or most any other sort of health care. Up until a few years ago, these travel arrangements were made by Essex County, but the state decided to step in and do the job itself. “They told us they could be more efficient,” said County Manager Dan Palmer.

Love Governor, Cuomo daughters enjoy snowmobile adventure Trail funds, free visitor weekend highlight remarks By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER
SARANAC LAKE | Gov. Andrew Cuomo came to the Adirondacks Sunday to spend a day riding snowmobiles with his three daughters and a group of their friends. He took about an hour early in the day to announce funding for snowmobile tourism and extend an invitation that will open New York’s 10,000 miles of snowmobile trails for out-of-state sleds. There will be no fee for sleds registered in other states that travel New York’s trail system on
March 14 and March 15. The weekend welcome is getting support through a $4 million I Love NY winter tourism campaign, Cuomo said Sunday. The winter invitation will reach across America and Canada, complete with a “I Snowmobile NY” logo with the famous heart replaced by a snow machine. Cuomo announced $4.2 million in grant funds will be dispersed through municipal coffers to the some 230 local snowmobile clubs that groom and maintain trails. This funding comes from snowmobile registration fees. Another $4 million has been allocated to build and improve snowmobile trail infrastructure in the North Country. Snowmobiling is another great way to experience winter in the North Country, the governor said.

that,” Jacangelo said, pointing to some of the trails marked in red on the app on his phone. The interactive map gives the sledder’s location with real-time GPS. If riders plug in a destination, a route will appear. A search feature also allows snowmobilers to find the trail they’re loooking for; the app was designed to function offline with a new mapping engine created to work in areas with little to no cell service once the map has been downloaded. Trail conditions will vary, depending on weather conditions and snowmobilers are advised to check with area snowmobile clubs for detailed information, including the status of grooming. NYSSA’s website has information about snowmobile clubs: nysnowmobiler.com The NYSSA/SLEDNY app can be dowloaded for a cost of $4.99. And proceeds go to support the app, New York snowmobile clubs and snowmobile projects.

“We are very aware of the balance and making sure that the tourism that comes in is well managed,” Cuomo said. “If you come hiking, if you come fishing, if you come bird watching, just come and be here. And in the winter, snowmobiling is just a great way to be here...and it’s a great, great family experience.” The increase in tourism overall has been dramatic since 2011, he said. “It’s up close to 25 percent...tourism now brings in $1.2 billion to the North Country, believe it or not.” Trail conditions will vary depending on snowfall, which had a slow start this winter. Adirondacks, USA and tech developers at the New York State Snowmobile Association launched a new app, NYSSA/ SLEDNY for snowmobilers: an interactive trail map for smart phones designed to help plan sled adventures. The new app has a one-time cost of $4.99 and provides real-time information about the trails in the North Country with highlights for gas stations, stores, restaurants and lodging properties that welcome sledders. Dominic Jacangelo, NYSSA executive director, was at the presentation with Cuomo on Sunday. “He’s been in public service, he’s been in State service, he’s worked with the Senate, he’s done a beautiful job. Dominic, thank you very much for everything you’ve done,” Cuomo said. The Sun asked Jacangelo about the new app as he shared its features with a Canadian sled club president.

“Snowmobilers love the North Country. Snowmobiling is a tremendous draw for winter tourism,” Jacangelo said. “Thank goodness for the snowstorm last Friday.” Jacangelo said the new “I Snowmobile NY” tourism promotion and trail funding supports more than just sled clubs and avid riders. Area motels, hotels, restaurants, markets and shops also benefit from snowmobile visitors. “It’s an $868 million industry,” he said. He said the roll-out of new app supports NYSSA, and it does provide details about how trails connect and snow depth.
“It does give you information about washouts or where trails are closed for maintenance, removing branches and things like

“There was a feeling in the North Country that they were almost forgotten by Albany. It was all about New York City and downstate and the North Country never got its fair due. “That was true in many ways,” Cuomo said. “The North Country had greater needs and the state was not as attentive as it should have been for many, many years. And that’s why I’m so proud of being able to say we’ve done more than any administration in history, because we have, because the North Country needed it. And it went on for too long.”
MAKE IT WORK
Cuomo praised U.S. Sen. Betty Little for her unfailing effort, tireless energy and excellent communication skills. Sen. Little attended the announcement Sunday and gave the opening remarks. Both lawmakers said their work together has achieved success. “The energy in this area continues to grow,” Little said. “I give the governor credit for that.” She said Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Council system has proven responsive to unique priorities set in differ·-··-··ent areas of the state. “This hotel is an example,” Little noted. I I road is “The hotel going up down the another example. “Because I’m not running for election, I have a lot of freedom,” Little said aside, rousing a round of laughs.

mean one of us is wrong, or one of us is bad and one of us is good. “It means we want to have a discussion and a dialogue about how to achieve the things we all want to achieve. And maybe I’m not all right all the time,” Cuomo said, drawing laughter. “Maybe there’s a possibility that Betty is not 100 percent right all of the time. And of course that’s the truth. Because that’s humanity. None of us are always right, none of us are always wrong. Well, why can’t you just talk? Why can’t you just figure it out? Why can’t you just put aside the partisanship and put aside the politics and figure out how to make it work?” As he thanked Sen. Little, she stepped back up to the podium. Their comments drew a standing ovation. “She rose above all the negativity and she rose above all the easy politics, which is so easy to demonize and criticize,” Cuomo said. “Betty, what you have done for the North Country, no one else could have done. On behalf of everyone in this room, we thank you, we love you and we’re going to miss you. God bless you. Thank you all very much.” Many local officials attended the special winter tourism announcement on Sunday, including mayors from Saranac Lake, Clyde Rabidoux; Plattsburgh, Colin Read; Lake Placid, Craig Randall; North Country/Plattsburgh Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Garry Douglas; Tupper Lake Supervisor Patricia Littlefield; ROOST President and CEO James B.

B a sed on t he novel by C ra ig Nova and shot in Burlington and Brattleboro, Vt., and Nantucket, Massachusetts, “Wetware” is set in a time and place where there are tough and tedious jobs no one wants to do and people down on their luck who volunteer for genetic modifications to gain the focus, stamina and synthesized sense of well-being that makes them right for this work—in other words, people so at the end of their rope that they will do anything for a sense of security and well-being. With business booming, programmers at Galapagos Wetware up the stakes by producing high-end prototypes, Jack and Kay, for more sensitive jobs like space travel, counterterrorism and deep-cover espionage. Galapagos genetic programmer Hal Briggs is sharp and creative but impetuous. He’s a socially awkward romantic in a transactional world. He keeps a virtual human clock at home and improvises as

he goes on what qualities to include or delete in his gene splicing for Jack and especially Kay, to whom he develops a dangerous attachment. Then word gets out that Jack and Kay have escaped, before Briggs has completed his work. Where have they gone and what do they know? Briggs scrambles to track his fugitive prototypes and, as he reexamines Jack and Kay’s codes, he makes a provocative discovery that will change everything. Tickets to “Wetware” are $10 each and are available at the door as well as by advance reservation via the LPCA box office (518-523-2512, lakeplacidarts.org). The arts center is located at 17 Algonquin Drive, off NYS Route 86/Saranac Ave. at the intersection near the Quality Inn and Desperados/Stewart’s.

Next up is “The Mountaintop,” a fictional interpretation of Martin Luther King in Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis on the eve of his assassination in 1968. The name is a reference to King’s “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech, which he has just delivered prior to returning to his motel room, where the play opens. King is depicted more as an everyday hero than an icon, an average American with strengths and weaknesses who stepped to the fore when destiny called. After these thought-provoking pieces, “It’s time to go to the circus,” Green said. “Barnum: The Musical” is the story of showman P.T. Barnum, who built a fortune on the notion that “There’s a sucker born every minute.” ‘Barnum’ is a high energy tale, set during the period 1835 through 1880, follows Barnum around the world as he evolved from a simple sideshow man, joined the circus, and eventually helped to curate The Greatest Show on Earth. “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill,” which tells Billie Holiday’s story as she reflects back on her life, ends the summer season. Green said the season is also a nod

to history, but believes the audiences will see threads of the modern world in what has gone before. “It sounds like a cliche, but everything that was old is new again,” he said. Overall, “This lineup adheres to our vision statement that promises to promote diversity in all that we do,” Green said. “These productions represent a range of experiences that will resonate with our audiences; from thought-provoking storytelling that illustrates how some decades-old struggles are still relevant today, to pure entertainment.” The Depot, which shares a location with the Westport Amtrak station, is the Adirondacks only equity theater. “It’s accessible, and the audience gets a Broadway level experience in the Adirondacks, in a rustic setting and without Broadway prices,” said Kim Rielly, the theater’s executive director. The season will be dedicated to longtime theater board member Shirley Bacot Shamel, who died in January at the age of 83. “Her larger-than-life presence and radiant smile will truly be missed,” the trustees wrote in the dedication.

“Our team is thrilled at the opportunity to contribute to such historic sports venues and prepare them to best serve new generations of the world’s best athletes.” Mike Ohar, project leader for CannonDesign, told WGRZ in Buffalo: “It’s been the most amazing project I’ve been working on.” The design/engineering firm says Olympic Center renovation includes “improvements to the Herb Brooks Arena (site of the famous 1980s Miracle on Ice hockey game); reprogramming the center’s main entry; updating and expanding the USA Arena; and improving the athlete and spectator game day experience. “We’re also helping ORDA renovate office space in the connected ‘link’ building and introduce new dining space, and a monumental stair and glass elevator.” The project, APA Application No. 2019-0213, is in land-use area classified Hamlet at Main Street and Cummings Road in North Elba.

STAFF WRITER
RAY BROOK |At their February monthly meeting, Adirondack Park Agency planners noted application is complete for planned renovations of the Olympic Center in Lake Placid. Announced last summer, the project garnered $100 million in state funding support. The Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) Board of Directors approved conceptual plans for the renovations last August. Construction would begin this summer. Marked complete by APA, the project has review steps ahead, including public comment period on the completed application, which closes on Feb. 27. Posted in the Feb. 12 Environmental Notice Bulletin, improvements are categorized as “Modernization of the Olympic Center”. Renovations largely address key points for access, parking, updates to athlete and ice rink areas and renovation of aging infrastructure. Designed in 1977, nearly 43 years ago, the facility was built for the 1980 Olympics. New land-use and development specified in the Environmental Notice includes: “Construction of a new multi-level parking garage to the southwest of the USA Arena with 256 parking spaces. Maintenance activity will be moved to the parking garage. “Construction of a two-story addition to the southwest corner of the USA Arena for storage, shipping and receiving, team rooms, multi-purpose rooms, concessions, and an elevator. “Reorganization and re-purposing of the main entry and the Link building by eliminating the existing covered drop off. “Realignment of the Main Street entrance, external plaza development, construction of a new terrace facing Main

Work at the oval looks to replace “the existing operations building ... construction of two new warming huts in the area of the replacement building, and building a pedestrian bridge over the oval to connect with the infield.” Site improvements would add “a small plaza in front of the 1932 arena.” CannonDesign, a national architectural and engineering firm with offices in Buffalo, last week announced its role in the Olympic Center design/build phase. “When elite winter athletes visit Lake Placid in January 2023 for the World University Games, they’ll enjoy leading-edge sports and competition venues rich with the city’s incredible heritage as host to the 1980 Winter Olympic Games,” according to the news release. “Our team is helping (ORDA) renovate both The Olympic Center in downtown Lake Placid and the Mt.

Thoughts from behind the pressline
Rough days ahead for an industry on the ropes
Miracle on ice By Rep. Elise Stefanik
PUBLISHER
GUEST COLUMNIST
Stealing a line from Gordon Lightfoot’s song “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”: “The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy.” The last several months have been really hard on the newspaper Industry, and while our local endeavor here at the Sun isn’t in the big league as are the industry titans, yet the waves they are stirring up, do have an effect even in our tiny corner of the world. Margaret Sullivan published a great piece last week in the Washington Post titled, “The future of local newspapers just got bleaker: Here’s why we can’t let them die”. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/ media/the-future-of-local-newspapers-just-gotbleaker-heres-why-we-cant-let-them-die/2020/02/14/ a7089d16-4f39-11ea-9b5c-eac5b16dafaa_story.html. If you are interested in understanding what’s taking place all around us, I encourage you to check it out in the link above. Thanks to one of our loyal supporters, Lance Clark, for sending us the link. With that article as a backdrop, I can tell you that news like this has the same effect on all newspapers large and small, in the same fashion as the coronavirus outbreak on a cruise ship. It shakes people’s confidence and results in others abandoning the ship before they understand all the facts. Yes, the coronavirus is scary stuff and there are 15 cases here in the U.S. of as last weekend. No cases here in the North Country, yet the CDC reports there will likely be 14,000 to 36,000 flu deaths in the 2019-20 flue season here in the United States. In comparison, the flu which is here holds a more imminent threat than the coronavirus. So what do the flu and coronavirus have to do with newspapers? The major problem facing many newspapers is the lack of local support over the last 20 years. It isn’t the internet, but rather the hedge funds and equity outfits that have plundered and wreaked havoc on the news industry. They are slashing workforces, degrading quality, increasing prices, selling off assets while maximizing profits to shareholders, all while nobly claiming to protect local journalism and communities. The Sun is one of many locally-owned community newspapers around the country trying to keep the remnants of a traditional newspaper alive while attempting to weather the “gales of November”, as lyricist Lightfoot said. Only when local support for what we produce each week wains, will our efforts be short-circuited. When the bean counters have worn out there welcome and moved on to some new capital venture, our local communities will still require a trusted communication asset that is still (by far) the most significant journalism producers in their local communities, to quote Margaret Sullivan and the Nieman Labs study last fall. To that end, we thank all of you who have recently contributed to help us stay the course, as we strive to “put 15 more miles behind er’.” ■
As a young child, I learned the incredible importance of Lake Placid and the spirit of the 1980 Olympics from my father. A dedicated winter sportsman, my father spent time in Lake Placid for a portion of the Olympic games. Most notably, he and his best friend were in Lake Placid the night that Team USA beat the Soviet Union in the famed Miracle on Ice hockey game. My Dad told me this story frequently as I was growing up, describing how electric and unbelievable of a night it was to be right here in Lake Placid and how proud he was to be an American. A generation later, I am proud to serve in Congress and commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the most iconic hockey game in history. As our community knows well, on February 22nd, 1980, the United States men’s hockey team upset the Soviet Union in game 1 of the medal round during the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid. Fearlessly led by their legendary coach Herb Brooks, the youngest team in U.S. history to play in the Olympics beat a veteran Soviet team with a long history of international play. That time period was tumultuous for the United States, and this game brought back hope and inspired a country that was embroiled in the Cold War. To many people, the American

To the Editor: I very much support the Sun and their affiliated newspapers. Dan and his entire staff have done, and continue to do, a great job balancing articles of both local and national interest. However, the enhanced subscription model is not for me. Having owned several businesses. In multiple areas, somehow donations – “enhanced subscriptions” – seem too Socialistic to me. I am a firm believer in Capitalism and expect to pay for a business’s product – which in the case of a newspaper is column space. For me, I would much rather pay for any space my comments, letters or opinions take. I have contributed my thoughts many times to the Sun and will continue to do so – but I expect to pay for the column space. Even though I now live in California, I have always considered New York’s North Country to be my first love! For the record, let me pay for column space starting IMMEDIATELY with this comment. Please bill me for the column space. Thank you for doing an underappreciated tough job! – David Safrany, California ■

KEENE VALLEY | Keene town officials and volunteers working on ways to better handle the expected overload of hikers this summer and fall are looking to learn from other popular destinations around the country. “Recreation and Transportation Case Studies from the National Parks,” by outdoors expert Pete Pettingill, associate professor at St. Lawrence University, will be presented on Monday, Feb. 24, at 7 p.m., at the Keene Valley Congregational Church. The talk is free and open to the public. While the Adirondacks are quite different than national parks, with many trail head entry points and no visitors’ gate, they do share trails and parking issues. The town of Keene has formed a volunteer-led Strategic Planning committee to recommend actions for the 2020 hiking season. The New York Department of Environmental Conservation has also created a special High Peaks Advisory Group to work on the problem. At the same time, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is recommending a Route 73 shuttle bus this summer to move hikers in and out of Keene Valley trail heads safely and efficiently. For more information, contact Peter Slocum, 518-708-5607 or at pslocum47@gmail.com. ■

Olympic and Paralympic Caucus. As Co-Chair of this bipartisan Caucus, I have been able to spread the spirit of Lake Placid as a passionate advocate for initiatives that preserve our rich Olympic history and ensure that future generations can participate in these life changing competitions. In fact, the first remarks I ever delivered in Congress on the House Floor celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice. In addition, I have worked with Olympic athletes as their voice in Congress by supporting the United States Appreciation for Olympians and Paralympians Act, which eliminated a tax penalty on medals awarded to Team USA athletes. I was also proud to help lead the effort to keep USA Luge in Lake Placid, boosting economic activity and keeping our district the luge capital. Lastly, I will continue to be an avid supporter of fully funding the Special Olympics, to help athletes with special needs follow their dreams. The office of New York’s 21st Congressional District in Washington is decorated with many special mementos and pieces highlighting to our district’s unique history. But the conversation piece for many constituents who visit D.C. is undoubtedly the USA Hockey Jersey (#21 just like our district!) signed by team captain Mike Eruzione, that hangs on the wall in my office. It is a wonderful reminder of the miraculous, historic events that took place on February 22nd, 1980, in an energized North Country community. It is a constant reminder of the spirit of Lake Placid, the Olympics, the North Country, and the United States of America. ■

upset was much more than a hockey game - it was a victory of an ideological struggle. It was a renewed sense of hope during a tense time that was welcomed by people not only in the North Country, but throughout the United States and around the world. There was no better place in the world for this historic game to occur than in the North Country. Lake Placid and the greater Adirondack region are home to some of the best hockey, skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, and ice skating in the Northeast. Each year, tourists come from around the world to experience winter in the North Country, enjoying a toboggan ride on Mirror Lake or taking a run down the bobsled track. Our Olympic history and love of winter sports are extremely important to the culture and economy of our region, and these traditions hold special places within our communities. Growing up, I was a proud “hockey sister” traveling to hockey rinks with my parents and younger brother across the North Country and the entire Northeast. The frigid sub-zero, pre-dawn hockey practices and games were an important part of the fabric of my childhood. In addition, I grew up as an avid and dedicated downhill skier and I still enjoy hitting the slopes at Whiteface with my father today! Communities in the North Country rally around these activities and embrace them as important family traditions. The unique Olympic history of New York’s 21st Congressional District is why I fought hard to earn the leadership position of Co-Chair of the Congressional

ARTS GRANTS AVAILABLE
The Valley News Sun | February 22, 2020 • 7
Broad array of Essex County arts are eligible From Staff Reports ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex County Arts Council announced the availability of new art funding this week, facilitated through the Cultural Assistance Program. Grant applications and eligibility requirements are now available on the website essexcountyarts.org. “For any arts group, historical society, preservation program, library, museum or organization providing public cultural programs for Essex County residents, this is an opportunity to request financial assistance,” said June Curtis, administrator of the council. The application deadline is March 15. CAP grants will support, but are not limited to, a wide range of activities, events and programs. Artists fees, programing expenses, one-time use of materials for workshops, partial fees for program administration, advertising rental space for the event, equipment rental, lighting, sound costumes and professional fees are examples of CAP support.
Instead of calling Essex County, Medicaid patients were to dial a central dispatcher in Syracuse, who arranged a ride with private taxi companies that became known as medicabs. But instead of becoming more efficient, costs soared. Palmer said that, perhaps, the state’s central dispatch is indeed more efficient in much of the state, where a ride to the doctor entails only a few miles or a few blocks. But in remote Essex County, a single cab fare to health care providers in Glens Falls, Plattsburgh or Albany could mean hundreds of dollars in profit for the taxi companies. If the distinction was lost on Albany, it was not lost on some local convenience store owners, who found the taxi business to their liking. An elaborate web of fraud developed, as about 10 taxi companies jockeyed for business among Medicaid clients, who were paid in cash or cigarettes to take rides, or say they did, to their appointments. Suspicious bills began piling up, but because a Syracuse dispatcher would have no particular knowledge of Essex County, the state didn’t notice that anything was amiss. Essex County supervisors did. Horror stories were leaking out, including tales of taxi companies that would take a Medicaid patient to the city for drug treatment one day, and then back to a doctor’s office the next for more opioids. In the three years that the ring flourished, prosecutors said the taxi companies racked up nearly $10 million in fraudulent billing. But in the enormous sea of state budgets, a million dollars here or a million dollars there do not necessarily make many waves. Taxi companies saw a lane, and they took full advantage, even as they themselves worried they might be pushing the envelope too far. At one point, in confiscated text messages, a taxi company owner admonished an employee for lining up too many rides in one day out of fear of raising government eyebrows — a scolding that appeared to hurt the feelings of the employee, who assumed she was doing a good job. Even factoring fraud out of the equation, the state’s Medicaid transportation takeover

Questions can be answered by emailing essexcountynyarts@gmail.com. In 2019, 32 organizations received funding totaling $18,000. “CAP grants fund a cornucopia of diverse art forms,” Curtis said. “In 2019 CAP sponsored events honored the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, Scottish Heritage and the centenary of the Hurricane Mountain fire tower, along with music in all forms including orchestral, operatic, the blues and folk that was enjoyed in concert halls, theaters and on
in Essex County has led to far higher costs, and these costs have the potential to trickle down to Essex County taxpayers. When Essex County ran the transportation network for Medicaid, it cost an annual $400,000, Palmer said. Today it’s in the neighborhood of $2 million. “I don’t know how you give that many rides,” Palmer said. To begin with, the type of fraud perpetrated by the taxi companies would have been all but impossible under the county’s watch, where the budget is small and expenses are closely scrutinized. “I very seriously doubt that it could have happened that way,” Palmer said. For one thing, any exponential rise in cab fare would have raised all sorts of red flags among budget-conscious supervisors who become unsettled at line items that are even a few thousand dollars out of line. And second, Essex County has relatively few Medicaid patients, and case workers know them by name, they know their families and they know their personal needs and situations. That allowed the county to personalize transportation and make it more cost effective. In fact, taxis were only called as a last resort, said Mike Mascarenas, Essex County director of Social Services. “We knew all the (Medicaid) families and we tried to find family members and friends who could give them a ride, and sometimes we would allocate staff,” Mascarenas said. “The last thing we did was call a taxi.” Due to the county’s personal knowledge of the patients, it could keep costs down in other ways, too. If two clients had an appointment in the same Glens Falls doctor’s office, for example. the county would arrange it so they would go together. Under the new arrangement, Palmer said, two different taxis will make the same trip on the same day. “They’ll pass each other on the Interstate,” he said. New York health officials acknowledge that the state may have to go back to the drawing board on Medicaid transport. State Health Department spokesperson Jeffrey Hammond said that following the 2015 Medicaid redesign efforts, changes were made to centralize

Medicaid transportation in the hopes of achieving efficiencies and reducing the use of costly ambulance services. Hammond said for a while the change seemed to be working, but over the last few years spending in the area has grown, primarily driven by increases in taxi spending. But Hammond said it’s all part of a process to try to identify areas where money can be saved. If a program works it will be maintained, if not it will be scrapped. “Essex County has identified a potential savings and this is exactly why the executive budget advances proposals to return local government to the search for savings in the Medicaid program that they left when the state took over all local Medicaid spending growth in 2015,” Hammond said. “Our goal is not to raise costs for counties at all, but to work with them on issues just like those identified by Essex County to reduce costs.” Hammond said Medicaid transportation is among the issues the current Medicaid Redesign Team will be analyzing as it develops a plan to reduce Medicaid spending by $2.5 billion “to ensure its financial stability for the future while continuing to provide high-quality care for more than 6 million New Yorkers.” Nationwide, Medicaid covers 74 million people, or about a quarter of the population. New York has among the nation’s most generous Medicaid programs in the support of disadvantaged people, but it does not come cheaply. New York’s Medicaid’s budget is $75 billion, of which the state pays $30 billion. About 20 states mandate a county Medicaid contribution as well, and of these, New York’s counties pay the most, a cost that adds up to about $7 billion annually, according to a 2016 report by the National Association of Counties. It is this state effort to cut Medicaid by $2.5 billion — to help close a $6 billion budget gap — that has the county more worried that it would be otherwise, because it calls for penalizing counties where Medicaid spending has exceeded 3%. The county doesn’t yet know how the numbers will play out, but the Medicab situation

could come back to bite a second time if increased transportation costs contribute to an increase in Medicaid costs that the state finds to be excessive. For the county, that would present an expensive irony: The county was doing a good job of providing Medicaid transportation while holding down costs, but when the state stepped in the program became rife with waste and abuse. Now, the state could conceivably come back and punish Essex County for the state’s own mismanagement. And further, county officials say, they have minimal little control over other Medicaid spending as well, because they must act in accordance with state and federal guidelines. “It isn’t like we have authority to say someone is not eligible,” Palmer told supervisors during a recent meeting “They think that somehow it’s in our control, but it’s not.” How Essex County is financially impacted won’t be known until the Medicaid Redesign Team releases its plan in the next month or so. And the recommendations would need legislative approval before they could be implemented. The devil is in the details, and what numbers the state uses and how it plans to calculate what constitutes a 3% increase are questions in which the county has considerable interest. At this point, “We’re not really certain about what the governor’s proposal even means,” said Mascarenas. “But potentially it could be a really large increase locally.” The increased Medicaid costs could even push the county through the 2% tax cap, a circumstance that unleashes even more financial penalties designed to discourage localities from overspending. “And this doesn’t happen in a silo,” Palmer said. The state’s budget has already reneged on an annual $300,000 compensatory payment that’s been in effect since the 1990s when the state ordered Essex County to close its landfill. That puts pressure on the cap too, making any Medicaid increase even more difficult to absorb. “Removing that $300,000 eats up 1.2% of the 2% tax cap,” Palmer said. “It’s kind of a vicious cycle, to be honest.” ■

SARANAC LAKE | Construction of a public restroom facility at Lake Flower beside the state boat launch is expected to begin in February, soon after Saranac Lake Winter Carnival ends. The Department of Environmental Conservation designed the fully wheelchair accessible bathroom as part of Pontiac Bay Superfund clean-up, which was completed last summer. “We are pleased to provide this final touch to improvements at DEC’s Lake Flower Boat Launch,” DEC Region 5 Director Bob Stegemann said in a news release. “The restroom will benefit boaters using the boat launch and the water quality of water bodies accessed from the boat launch.” Construction began Feb. 10, he said, but is not going to impact the final days of access to the Ice Palace. Walkways and parking spaces near Pontiac Bay will remain open until the Ice Palace comes down. But the boat launch (western) side of the park on Lake Flower will be closed. “Due to safety concerns resulting from operation of heavy equipment and storage of construction materials, the boat launch will be closed to public use beginning Feb. 10, and will remain closed during construction. The project is expected to be completed this summer,” DEC said. “Boaters will need to use the Second Pond Boat Launch and the Lower Lock to access Kiwassa Lake, Oseetah Lake, Lake Flower and portions of the Saranac River between when the ice is off the water and completion of the project.” The restroom will be built in the western corner of the boat launch property near the sidewalk along River Street. The facilities will connect to the Village of Saranac Lake water and wastewater system. ■

Videos add positive slant on local businesses By Laurel Carroll STAFF WRITER
TUPPER LAKE | Tupper Lake has recently experienced a resurgence of business growth due to both an influx of newcomers to the area as well as established businesses revamping their businesses. With the idea of keeping that trend on the upswing, the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (better known as “ROOST”) is in the
process of creating a series of ten videos, the first two of which are now online and ready for viewing. “Quality of Life in Tupper Lake” interviews local business owners, who speak of the benefits of living in the Adirondacks; the second, “Starting a Business in Tupper Lake,” briefly reviews the fellowship that exists between Tupper Lake businesses. Tupper Lake Village mayor, Paul Maroun, recently said, “These videos highlight everything we have to offer. Our business owners share in their own words what they love about
living and working in the Adirondacks, and their passion will undoubtedly encourage more people to set up shop in Tupper Lake.” Town Supervisor Patti Littlefield agrees. “Tupper Lake is a growing, bustling place, and the economic development videos do an excellent job of showing that it’s a great place to open a business.” These videos were produced by Paul Frederick Productions and ROOST under a grant from the New York Department of State. ROOST is also offering these videos for
viewing to areas outside the area via social media platforms in their ongoing campaign to elicit more interest in Tupper Lake. View these videos by visiting tupperlake.com/ economic-development. Tupper Lake is offering help for those interested in starting a business in or relocating to Tupper Lake. Contact Director of Community Development Melissa McManus at tupperlakecommunitydevelopment@gmail.com for more information or ROOST’s Katie Stuart at katie@roostadk.com or 518-359-3328. ■

Sports Section VII determines indoor track and field state team
suncommunitynews.com/sports
By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | The top indoor track and field athletes from the 2019-20 season returned to the Plattsburgh State Field House a week after the Section VII championships to set the Section VII team that will compete at the NYSPHSAA state championship meet March 7 in Staten Island. The Moriah/Boquet Valley team of Denali Garnica, Gage Perry, Landon Peters and Emery Tausinger earned the state bid in the 3,200 relay. “I think we did very well overall today and we will be working hard to run our best at states,” said Garnica. “We know the track is really nice down there so we are looking forward to having a great run.” In the 640 relay, the Saranac team of Zashon Abrams, Garrett Adolfo, Anthony Bernardi and Alex Stack earned the state bid, making up for last week when a botched exchange led to a second place finish. “It was king of a revenge thing where we wanted to get that spot on the state team,” said Abrams, who also completed a season sweep of the 55 dash by earning the top bid, with second individual bid going to Tanner Estes of Plattsburgh High. Beekmantown’s Angelina Lyons won the girls 55 dash, with Abi Batu-Tiako (wins in 55 hurdles, triple jump) of Plattsburgh High placing second. Lyons completed the postseason sweep of the event. “Abi is a really good competitor and it feels good to have won this event in the last two weeks,” said Lyons. M/BV’s Sophia McKiernan scored two state bids, winning the 1,500 with Nora Graves of PHS placing second before placing second in the 1,000 behind Saranac’s Rachael Woodruff. “I don’t think I ran this week as fast as I did last week because there was not as much competition, but I am very happy to get a first place finish and go to states,” said McKiernan. Lizzie Rich of Ticonderoga and Caylen Skiff of Saranac Lake had the top two places in the shot put. “I was really nervous o my first throw, but the second throw was the best I have ever done,” said Skiff. “It has been a really good season as I only do indoor.” Other state qualifiers include: Girls 3,200: Peru (Abby Bruce, Sara Crippen, Harley Gainer, Jennifer Owen) Boys 55 hurdles: Mathieu Durkin (PHS), Aidan Hoogkamp (BCS)

PERU WINS SECTION VII WRESTLING TITLE Asthon Seymour was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler for the tournament, while brother Alijah was named the Champion of Champions. “It was pretty good when I heard I won the award and it was pretty cool we both won these awards,” said Ashton. “My brother has taught me so much.” “It has been good to watch him come up the ranks and I really tried to push him this year, and he knows that,” said Alijah about his brother, “I was really happy to receive this award, it’s something I have always wanted for a long time.”
“It was a hard match and I just had to give it all that I had,” said Trombley. At 285, eighth grader Connor Bushey scored a pin to win his first title and advance to states. “I have worked through the offseason and into this year and it is really cool to be going to states, where I hope to place,” said Bushey. The NYSPHSAA wrestling championships take place Feb. 28-29 at the Times Union Center in Albany. ■

BEEKMANTOWN | The story has been the same for the last four years — the same team does not win both titles. After the Saranac varsity wrestling team completed a perfect season to win the CVAC title, Peru wrapped up the Section VII crown before the final round Feb. 15, scoring a total of 197 points, ahead of Saranac (152.5), Northern Adirondack (116), AuSable Valley (81) and Beekmantown (65.5). “We knew we had a good tournament team
all year,” said Indians coach Mike Hogan. “Saranac’s lineup was good for dual meets but we thought we had a good shot at this tournament all year long. The semifinal is what wins it because you pick up 10 points in the final.” The Indians qualified six for the New York State meet with their championship win, including Dustin Goddeau (pin, 220), Devin Blake (pin, 170), Zach Swyers (pin, 160), Alijah Seymour (pin, 145). Kadin Johnson (4-2 overtime decision, 120) and Ashton Seymour, who scored a 9-5 win over Alex Clancy at 106. “Ashton had taken a loss twice to his opponent and to get that win broke the momentum and got us going,” said Hogan.
Saranac had one more wrestler qualify for the state tournament then the Indians with seven, while Peru had 11 finalists compared to nine for the Chiefs. Ryan Devins scored a 13-0 decision at 99, while brother Hunter Devins scored an 11-3 major decision over teammate Landen Smith at 126. Also winning for the Chiefs were Collin Clancy (5-2, 113), Alex Christman (pin, 132), Robert Foley (pin, 138), Bryce Smith (16-1 tech fall, 152) and Tim Gadway (pin, 195). The wins gave Christman his fourth sectional title and Smith his fifth. “It feels amazing to win this four times,” said Christman. “I just want to continue to practice harder and do my best.” “I want to train hard and try to win a state title,” said Smith, who has a sixth place finish at states. “They don’t remember you as a fourth place finisher at the Peru tournament or other places, they remember you if you win the state championship.”
TROMBLEY. BUSHEY WIN
In the closest match of the night, Northern Adirondack’s Tyler Trombley scored a 2-1 overtime win at 182.

Cure Cottages provided hope TB cure included mountain air, job training By Tim Rowland
MihiUM
STAFF WRITER
SARANAC LAKE | Toward the end of the 18th century, young adults, hundreds of them, their bodies wracked with sickness, would board a train headed north, leaving behind a dank, congested world of filth and squalor hopes of getting better. Many of them did, their inner-city death sentence commuted by a wondrous world of crisp mountain air, hearty meals and plenty of elbow room. If they were well enough, they would be treated to exercise and entertainment, and would even be taught a trade to take with them when they went back home. But many never went back home, so enchanted were they with their quarters on the slopes of Mount Pisgah overlooking the Saranac River and a battery of snowy Adirondack peaks. One woman came to the Cure Cottages of Saranac Lake and stayed for 26 years. A writer quipped that this tuberculosis sanatorium, founded by Edward Livingston Trudeau in 1885, was home to the sick and not-very-sick alike, and noted the propensity of people to stick around the town even after they got better. The compound once included more than 50 buildings and today about half still exist. Along with the cure cottages are former labs, infirmaries, doctors’ quarters, barns, a workshop, chapel, entertainment center and post office. The entire 84-acre site — many of its buildings abandoned, but still in relatively good condition — was recently purchased by developers who intend to put it to commercial and residential use. Last week Historic Saranac Lake, led by guide Margaret Worden, provided a walking tour of the Park Avenue neighborhood, a community of immense historical importance hidden in plain sight. It would be quite possibly to drive the street and not realize it was anything other than what it appears to be — a collection of vacation homes and boarding houses emblematic of any tony 1900s Adirondack resort town. Which was kind of Trudeau’s point. He wanted not just to cure his patients, but give them a better life than they one they had become accustomed to in the crowded city tenements. “A lot of people came from horrible living conditions,” Worden said. “This must have been quite a change, but a nice change.” Perhaps the signature features of these cure cottages — broad, open porches where patients spent much of their time bundled up in lounge chairs — are now gone. They were closed in by the

American Management Association, which bought the compound three years after it closed in 1954. By then TB had been cured. But in the pre-antibiotic world of the late 19th century it was a fearsome disease that affected one in seven people. “If you didn’t have it, you knew someone who did,” Worden said. For Trudeau, it was both. He lost a brother and daughter to tuberculosis, and he himself contracted it not long after he graduated from medical school in 1871. By then, the thought was that pure air would be good for the respiratory disease, and Trudeau moved his family into the hotel operated by hotel legend Paul Smith. Too frail to get around on his own, he was fawned over by the staff, who carried him to a canoe lined with pine boughs and paddled him around the lake. At Paul Smith’s he made a fateful and unconventional decision: He would spend the winter in the Adirondacks. No one ever did that, “but he felt that if he were going to die this was where he wanted to be,” Worden said. He didn’t die, though, he got better — until he returned to New York City and the symptoms returned. For Trudeau, it was his burning bush. In 1885, he built the first of
his cottages, Little Red, and invited two factory girls from the city to come take the cure. Through the decades, more cottages were built, along with support buildings, and thousands of patients spent their days and nights in teeth-chattering conditions on the open porches. One, Worden said, drew the line at 45 below and retreated into the cottage, where the temperature was only slightly below freezing, and comparatively speaking, felt like a sauna. Each patient was issued an admittance card and given a personalized routine that included rest, proper nutrition and whatever exercise they could handle. It’s hard to know how much good the treatment actually did, but Worden said it stands to reason that cleanliness and good food alone would have boosted the patients’ ability to fight off the disease. Trudeau did not charge for care and turned no one away. He relied on donations, many of which came from well-heeled families who had lost a loved one to TB. And when the enormity of the disease seemed too much, the site itself was a salve for battered hopes. Trudueau would look out at the mountains, the river and the forests of the Adirondacks and find it, he wrote, “refreshment to my perplexed soul.” ■
