Adirondack Health gears up for virus threat Hospitals, health centers monitor COVID-19, institute preparedness measures

By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

SARANAC LAKE |Adirondack Health implemented strategic plans to prepare for any incidence of coronavirus (COVID-19) at its hospitals and healthcare centers.

Adirondack Health’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Darci Beiras shared specifics in a letter to community last week.

“With reports of the outbreak continuing to dominate the news cycle, we want to make sure the community is aware of the preparations undertaken at Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake and, indeed, throughout the Adirondack Health system.

Last month, Adirondack Health conducted a tabletop exercise simulating the presentation of a coronavirus patient at Adirondack Medical Center,” she said.

Global Arts Fest in Lake Placid Annual event celebrates world cultures, local community

By Laurel Carroll STAFF WRITER

LAKE PLACID | Did you know you can travel the world in two days without

stepping on a jet or getting your immunizations up-to-date? That said, the March 6-7 festival’s indoor international street fair will expose you to Burundi rap music, an African-style bazaar, beer-tastings and lots of international food.

The popular festival is not strictly a spectator sport; there are plenty of hands-on, creative activities you can experience for yourself.

Families and individuals are invited to join in the fun through a diverse offering

of workshops, including Flamenco dancing, West African and Japanese Taiko drumming, family yoga and a very eclectic Jamaican-Norwegian sing-along.

The event runs through Friday and Saturday, March 6 and March 7.

Fire training center moves ahead Supervisors agree on location, but funding no longer assured

By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County will look to build a new firefighting training center at the site of the old landfill in the town of Lewis after neighbors objected to plans to locate it on county land across from the Elizabethtown fire hall.

The delay, however, may have jeopardized funding for the project, which is to come in the form of a $500,000 grant from Sen. Betty Little’s office. “Right now it’s a 50-50 deal,” said Don Jaquish, director of Essex County Emergency Services.

DEC REGION 5’S STEGEMANN TO RETIRE Position opens at the end of March

By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

RAY BROOK | Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Region 5 Director Robert Stegemann plans to retire from his leadership post at the end of March.

DEC spokesman David Winchell confirmed Stegemann’s retirement and the time-frame.

DEC listed the job opening on its website.

Stegemann was hired to lead Region 5, an area encompassing some 65 percent of

the Adirondack Park, as Betsy Lowe left in December 2011, four months after Tropical Storm Irene ravaged the region.

He accepted the public conservation role with 18 years previous experience as sustainability and public affairs manager for International Paper Co. Stegemann had also spent six years serving as executive vice president at Empire State Forest Products Association.

Adirondack Council Executive Director William C. Janeway applauded and thanked Stegemann for his long career and dedication to the Adirondacks and the mission of the DEC. Janeway had also served as a DEC Regional Director alongside Stegemann.

Wilmington town offices complete move into new, renovated space Open House planned March 7

By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

WILMINGTON |Town offices and a public meeting space are open in the former health

center space at the Community Center here.

The new digs are phase two of a planned expansion in Wilmington as the High Peaks Health Center, which formerly occupied the new Wilmington Town Hall rooms, opened last year.

Wilmington Supervisor Roy Holzer and town officials are hosting an open house on March 7 so residents can see the new space and how it is organized for ease of local access.

New town offices in Wilmington utilize former High Peaks Health Center rooms and offices.

The town is hosting an Open House March 7, welcoming residents and visitors to see access in the new Community Center.

“Residents and visitors will have a chance to see the new improvements at the Wilmington Town Offices from 10 a.m. to noon on March 7.

Of course, if that day doesn’t work, residents are always welcome to stop in and say hello anytime,” Holzer told the Sun. “Without a doubt, we are extremely proud of the new space,” he said. “First and foremost, the offices are located in a manner which allows for better handicap accessibility. The town offices also are designed for a more streamlined business approach as well.”

Upstairs offices house rooms for the supervisor and town clerk along with administrative assistant offices.

“The lower portion of the Community Center building houses the town assessors,

codes enforcement and temporary Wilmington Historical Society space,” Holzer said.

“Additional room has also been made for another small meeting area as well as an organized town records room.”

Reorganization will be capped off with new building signage.

The move was completed after High Peaks Health Center last summer opened their newly built facility, part of the University of Vermont Health Network.

The $1.3 million healthcare center was planned several years ago with support from Town of Wilmington officials. UVM Health Network-Elizabethtown Community Hospital purchased about two acres of open land behind the Community Center. ■

Community center gets upgrade scary; it comes up fast and you don’t have a moment’s notice.

With its source in the High Peaks, the Ausable River collects large quantities of water fast, and deposits in a riverbed that is not equipped to handle it.

Long-ago logging and industrial operations are believed to have dredged the East Branch of the Ausable, removing the natural features that help keep a river in check. This summer the town, backed by the expertise of the Ausable River Association, will use additional money from the recovery fund to begin returning the river to a more natural state, beginning in Upper Jay. The $9 million appropriation was divided between the towns of Keene and Jay, with the lion’s share of Jay’s money going to the demolition of the Rome Dam on the Ausable’s West Branch.

Other funds in Jay have been used to safeguard the town’s public water supply and protect its sewage treatment system from future floods.

In the event of another disaster, Depo said the shelter would be available to Jay and any surrounding towns that might be in need. Most of the time, the shelter will double as space for Senior Center meals, and gathering of other civic groups.

The project, announced by the office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), is expected to be completed in a few months.

“As we continue to prepare New York for the modern-day realities of increasingly frequent storms, rising seas and climate change, we cannot underestimate the significant role that local facilities play in post-disaster response,” said Alana Agosto, executive director of the Community Reconstruction

Disaster shelter project is an offshoot of Hurricane Irene

By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

AUSABLE FORKS | Construction crews are in the beginning phases of facelift of the Jay Community Center, one that will turn it into a full-service shelter in the event of another natural disaster, such as the remnants of Hurricane Irene, which ravaged the Ausable Valley nearly a decade ago.

The $600,000 project will include bathrooms with showers, a commercial kitchen and a new boiler to replace the center’s aging furnace. The community center was built in 1934 and lived much of its life as an elementary school.

Following Irene, 75 National Guard members and about 40 residents displaced by flood waters slept on the gym floor of the center, but had to be bused elsewhere for meals and showers, said Jay Supervisor Archie Depo.

Irene was a clarion call of a changing climate, and it set in motion a $9 million allocation from the New York Rising Community Reconstruction fund to protect residents from increasingly frequent and severe storms.

“People don’t realize how much devastation Irene really had, and how long it takes to recover,” Depo said. “That river is

and Infrastructure Programs for Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery. “The Jay Community Center is a shining example of this, having opened its doors to several dozen New Yorkers by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. We are pleased to start work on this potentially life-saving NY Rising Community Reconstruction project, which will enhance the overall resiliency and preparedness of this community.” ■

AFFORDABLE HOUSING TALKS UNDERWAY

Essex may create land bank to rehab, sell houses

By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | A panel of Essex County leaders intent on putting working people into their own homes held their initial meeting last week, even as they acknowledged that the problem is one that extends beyond income and employment.

The tourist economy affects the ability of low- and moderate-income people to obtain good housing, as do social and cultural issues. Some residents simply don’t know what goes into maintaining a house, while others have never had the financial training it takes to draw up a budget and make mortgage payments, committee members said.

Increasingly in Essex County, housing is being bought up by investors who rent them out short term to vacationers. That in turn drives up the cost of houses and the cost of rents.

“Most of the people who are renting their

housing are one flat tire away from disaster,” said Committee Chairman Jim Monty.

Even what is typically viewed as a good salary is no guarantee of home ownership in a county with tight housing inventories. “If you’re making $40,000, you’re not going to be able to afford a house,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava.

The situation has redefined what it means to be unable to afford housing. “You have school teachers who aren’t even able to live in the communities they teach in,” said Carol Calabrese, co-director of the Essex County Industrial Development Agency.

Bruce Misarski, executive director of the Housing Assistance Program of Essex County, said the financial realities tell a discouraging tale for those in hopes of achieving the American Dream. “First time homebuyers usually need a significant subsidy to get into a house,” he said. They would need $30,000 (in cash) to get into a $100,000 house (and) the mortgage on a $200,000 house is not going to be affordable for most of our working people.”

The new housing committee is made up of elected officials as well as experts in the fields of economic development, social services and taxation, and representatives of agencies that

Members of an Essex County affordable housing committee discuss ideas at their inaugural meeting last week.

Monty said he hopes the group will have at least the outline of a plan by September.

Most at the table agreed that the clearest path to affordable home ownership would be a land bank that would use a revolving fund to fix up existing houses and sell them to people of limited means.

Each year, dozens of properties come into county possession for nonpayment of taxes.

Traditionally, these properties have been sold at auction, but some of the homes might be suitable for rehab and resale. Essex County Treasurer Michael Diskin said that, while not an instant fix, such a program could be self supporting, with each round of home sales paying for the next round of renovations.

Another benefit, said Ticonderoga Supervisor Joe Giordano, is that such a program could mitigate what are known as zombie properties, basically rotting houses too far gone to save, and have become a threat to safety and a drag on neighboring home values.

Supervisors also expressed concern that, without financial and home-ownership counseling, low-income homeowners would likely allow their homes to deteriorate all over again. To be successful, they said, a land bank program would need to include education and cultural change that will inspire families in need of help to take pride in their properties and in themselves.

“No top-down approach is going to solve this problem,” Giordano said. ■

Zebra mussel larvae found in state’s largest hatchery Employees of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation examine zebra mussels during an inspection of one of their state’s waterways. New York EnCon officials announced late last week that zebra mussel larvae were discovered in their fish hatchery facilities in Rome.

Fish stocking to be disrupted

By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT

ADIRONDACK PARK | Zebra mussel larvae have been discovered in the state’s largest fish hatchery, and this contamination by a pernicious invasive species will be reducing or eliminating the stocking of trout in various waterways around the state — including lakes, ponds and streams in the Adirondacks.

The Department of Environmental Conservation announced on Feb. 25 that the zebra mussels were discovered in January to be present in Delta Lake, which supplies water to the agency’s Rome Fish Hatchery.

A subsequent investigation uncovered that the zebra mussel larvae were present in the hatchery ponds using water from Delta Lake, but not some of the hatchery’s other ponds and raceways fed by underground springs.

The Rome hatchery annual produces nearly 160,000 pounds

of brook, rainbow and brown trout — more than 2.3 million trout in total — that are stocked in about 300-plus lakes and ponds and 2,900 miles of streams in the state, according to DEC publications.

A large number of the fish from the Rome hatchery are those used in stocking of remote waters by airplane and helicopter, and many of those waterways are in the Adirondacks.

The disruption in statewide fish stocking is envisioned to continue next year as well.

DEC sources have said the entire Rome fish hatchery will

have to be decontaminated, redesigned and reconstructed, according to the Syracuse Post-Standard.

“We are taking this aquatic invasive discovery very seriously,” state Department of Environmental Commissioner Basil Seggos said in a prepared statement. “The DEC will provide all the necessary resources to address this problem and employ solutions to ensure the hatchery will operate free of zebra mussels in the future.”

The statement said that the DEC is investigating options to maximize hatchery production so as many waters as possible can be stocked.

Trout Unlimited board member Bill Wellman of Plattsburgh said he was concerned about the situation, and how the stocking of upstate waterways would be effected.

“Can the DEC really devise a system that provides pure water to the hatchery?,” he said, noting he was concerned about how long it would actually take the state to reconstruct the Rome hatchery and get it operating again. “Every time the state takes on a project, it takes twice as long and costs at least four times as much as they have planned.” ■

Jay talks business Owners consider a Jay Chamber of Commerce

IT’S TIME for clergy sexual abuse to stop.

Jay business owners discuss the issues that affect their companies.

JAY | The town of Jay has restaurants, inns, a wood turner and machinist, an equestrian, a child psychologist, two performing art centers, a book publisher, a webmaster and graphic artist, a real estate agency, a Victrola repairman, an automobile detailer, multiple arts retailers and a granite company. But it has no chamber of commerce, at least not yet.

That may change, as a group of about 25 business owners met last week to discuss the idea of creating a chamber that would promote networking and find new customers for people who own businesses that roughly inhabit the East Branch of the Ausable River Valley.

The gathering was called by Jay Council Member Adam Coolidge and Rotary Vice President Christopher Straight, who are looking for ideas to better promote Jay, which has largely missed out on tourists who descend each year on neighboring communities.

Straight said the need was driven home when he was busy painting a sign near the covered bridge, the only one of its kind in the Adirondacks. In eight hours, nine people approached him, saying they had

tried unsuccessfully to learn what there was to do in the community.

“If we’re going to benefit the businesses in the area, we need to direct people to them,” Straight said.

The chamber would also encourage networking, and allow businesses to buy needed parts or services from each other instead of outsourcing, Coolidge said. Those in attendance said one of Jay’s greatest strengths is its sense of community, an authenticity and personal touch that is increasingly sought after in an app-driven world.

Business was better, they said, before the 1979 closure of Arto Monaco’s Land of Makebelieve in Upper Jay. The theme park provided a stickiness that gave tourists cause to stop in Jay, rather than driving through on their way to Lake Placid or Keene Valley.

“When the Land of Makebelieve closed, traffic patterns really changed,” said Sue Young of Young’s Studio and Gallery. “And the town doesn’t always recognize Jay and Au Sable Forks as a tourist area.”

Coolidge said that’s why an advocate such as a chamber would be a good

idea. “It is something we can do to grow and make a difference,” he said.

Business owners said there are other challenges as well, most notably a lack of dependable broadband. Uploaders of media such as instructional videos and large graphic files said they hold their breath every time they hit “send.” Much of the service in the valley relies on a Verizon tower on Paleface Mountain that has proved rickety in times of bad weather. Videos are difficult to load, and “you can’t send a text, or you’ll shut down half the town,” quipped Wyatt Markus, one of the few remaining Victrola repairmen in the country.

But business owners said Jay has a lot to offer, perhaps most notably the quality of its people. Jerod and Chris Heidrick said they purchased the Thwaits-Zaumetzer Funeral Home in Au Sable Forks after a search that involved multiple communities.

Jay felt comfortable and welcoming, and valued personal relationships, they said.

The Thwaits-Zaumetzer Funeral Home home will host the next chamber discussion, which will be held on Monday, March 23, at 6 p.m. ■

Boys hoops: Beavers score win over Griffins

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

KEENE VALLEY | The wild crowd on both sides of the bleachers at Keene Central School provided all the energy needed for both teams as the fourth seed Beavers scored a 56-48 win over fifth seed Boquet Valley Feb. 28.

After the game, coach Chad Lopez and players from Keene said they were pleased with the large crowd and the energy they brought to the game from both sides.

“It was nice to have the community out, get the younger kids out because it helps our program,” said Lopez. “Tonight was a big deal for the school and to have the girls and us win back-to-back was nice.”

“They played very aggressive and it was awesome to see both schools come out with such big crowds and great support, so it was great to play in front of a crowd like that,” said Aidan Lopez, who scored 23 points, 19 in the second half.

“I am used to playing soccer my whole life and I like it when there is a crowd to root for you and root against you. It pushes you,” said exchange student Alp Tas, who scored 14 for the Beavers.

“It was one of my best games ever,” Tas added. “It was a hyped atmosphere and I was hot in the first half so I kept shooting.”

Sebastian Smith added 14 points in the win, while Julian Smith added three.

“Boquet Valley rotated well on defense and took Aidan out of it a little in the first half but he started to get it going in the

ELIZABETHTOWN | A 13-4 third quarter pushed the third seed Boquet Valley Griffins comfortably ahead of sixth seed Willsboro Feb. 27 in the Section VII/Class D girls basketball playoffs in a 44-24 win for the Griffins.

Abbey Schwoebel scored 18 points in the win for the Griffins, while Skylar Bisselle added 10, Ella King six, Bree Hunsdon six and Analise Burdo four.

“We did really well with the passing game and worked well together,” said Bisselle.

“We all played hard and played our game.

This game showed us what we need to do to advance in sectionals.”

“I think we did really well as a team with passing,” added Schwoebel. “It gave me and the other girl’s an opportunity to score. We worked really well together as a team. I think if we keep working well as a team in sectionals and keep practicing, we will do well.”

second half and when he starts out, he can really get it going,” said Lopez.

Blake Liberi had 14 points for the Griffins, while Ethan Graham added 10, Aidan Lobdell nine, Brayden Drew five, Noah Jacques four and Mike Race two.

WARRIORS TOP INDIANS

In the rematch of the 2019 Section VII/ Class D finals, the third seed Willsboro Warriors were able to exact some level of revenge against sixth seed Wells, scoring a 44-33 win Feb. 28.

The Warriors used an 11-5 fourth quarter to close out the Indians, advancing to the semifinal round Wednesday, March 4, 6 p.m. at Beekmantown against second seed Crown Point.

Brennon Farney scored 14 points to lead the Warriors, while Regan Arnold scored 12, Jared Ball nine, Stephen Leibeck seven and Everett Cassavaugh two.

Hunsdon talked about the defensive effort.

“I think that this is one of the best games we played defensively so far,” she said. “We worked really well getting opportunities. If we play defense like this, I think we can go all the way.”

Bella Harrison scored 10 points for the Warriors, as Samantha Harrison and Kyla Crowningshield each scored six. Kaili Bourdeau scored two.

KEENE PULLS AWAY IN FOURTH

Keene guard Megan Quinn was up to the challenge, dribbling the ball to the top of the key and launching a three-point shot, which swished into the basket to tie the game at 23-23.

10 Keene points later, the Beavers completed a 13-0 run, part of a 15-5 fourth quarter to advance with a 35-25 win.

“It was pretty exciting,” said Quinn, who finished with eight points. “I knew we needed the three so I just took my time, had confidence in my shot and made it. I know our team can really come together when it is needed and make the shots we need to.”

Alyssa Summo scored 14 points — eight as part of the fourth quarter run — to lead the Beavers.

“I was ready to win,” said Summo. “I knew we needed a run to put this into the bag.

Their team played well and their aggression brought out the best in our team.”

Emily Whitney added seven points in the win, while Haylie Buysse scored the first four points of the game as part of a six point night.

PATRIOTS DOMINANT

The AuSable Valley Patriots scored a 59-16 win over the Seton Catholic Knights Feb. 26.

Thoughts from behind the pressline

Lessons to learn from COVID-19

As a boy, I remember my maternal grandmother talking about the great Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-20. Today’s coronavirus panic is evocative of the 20th century’s greatest viral outbreak.

Born in 1889, my grandmother died in 1989 at the age of 100. But back in 1918, at the end of World War I, she was 29 years old, married, and the mother of two young children.

My mother was a one-year-old toddler in 1918. And my mom’s other sibling at that time, her brother Johnnie, was a growing, intelligent lad of six.

Johnnie was described, by all family accounts, as a bright and sensitive boy who showed academic and athletic promise.

The future must have looked very bright for little Johnnie. Yet in 1920, at the age of eight, Johnnie became one of the millions of worldwide victims of the Spanish flu.

I learned that Johnnie’s death was a great shock to my grandparents, although my mother was too young to remember much of her brother’s young life. One of my mom’s earliest memories, at the age of three, is her parent’s home draped in black crepe with the neighbors, also dressed in black, dropping by to pay their respects.

Thankfully, my mother survived the great 1918-20 pandemic. And while she came down with scarlet fever a short time later, she survived that illness, too, and went on to enjoy the life of a centenarian (now, plus three).

PUBLISHER

The coronavirus and its effects on the earth’s population and the many daily decisions we and others make have all come under intense scrutiny.

In this worldwide pandemic scare are many lessons to be learned about how we conduct our lives, the investments we make, and even simple hygienic choices we make throughout the day.

Lesson one is not to overreact or panic: We should take comfort in knowing that in this country our medical expertise, and already in place safeguards, should improve our chances of limiting the overall impact on the nation.

Lesson two is that contagions, politics, and finances create the worst possible public reaction.: Election year or not, this is no time for either side to “weaponize” a virus for either political or financial gain.

Just like it’s not ok to charge 500% more for an antiviral mask than it was before this virus began to spread, it also not ok to use this virus as an opportunity to score political points. This is a time to unite and work together. Not just in this country but worldwide as we share research and knowledge to defend against major outbreaks that sooner or later could reach our loved ones.

Lesson three shows us the risks of outsourcing important raw materials and certain critical production facilities outside the continent: We are just beginning to learn that we may face many shortages in pharmaceutical components and other imported products due to short-sided corporate profiteers. We’ve become far too dependent on China, and from this experience, we should recognize the need to rebalance our manufacturing supply chain practices.

Lesson four is basic personal hygiene: We should have known from a young age, and this is that mother was always right about washing our hands and touching our face. Influenza is far more deadly here in the U.S. than COVID-19 yet the best weapon we have for avoiding the spread of it is to wash our hands regularly and avoids rubbing our eyes and touching our faces.

All deadly threats are best handled with common sense, a clear-headed approach and transparency. These reactions should come as no surprise to anyone, yet it’s the simple things we’ve learned in the past that are the last things we seem to think about whenever we are faced with something new.

Our human frailties cause us to react too slowly when something new surprises us, and we refuse to acknowledge that we need help.

Let’s all do our part to ensure this virus doesn’t get a foothold here by following the advice of our national experts and don’t forget to wash those hands frequently. ■

Destruction from within

To the Editor: I too remember listening to Radio Free Europe during the Second World War mentioned by Mr. Alexander “The Russians are coming again?” So now the Russians have the ability to talk back.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. “If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” This quote is attributed to Abraham Lincoln. The truth of this quote has been illustrated by the Russian story of the last 3 years. Forget Russia. It is time to look at Washington to reveal the enemy from within. What troubles me is Americans refuse to acknowledge the truth of the exposure that the true interference was from within, aka the DNC, not the Russians.

This ignorance can be contributed directly to our education system. Another indication of this great system is I have to print my letters to my 14 year old great-grand daughter be-

In 1962 prayer was removed from our school system and now if we want to reference God or use His Word in a letter to the editor, it may not be approved. Next In 1973 abortion was decriminalized. Now the teaching of God has essentially been removed from our society.

If Christians remembered they might know you are to love your neighbor as yourself. All we hear today is hatred especially for President Trump.

Don’t be surprised if Trump is not reelected. The Bible also tells us of a one world government. Socialism may start that trip in 2021. We all need to pause and rethink what is really important to us and where do we want to spend eternity. This physical life is only temporary.

While the current virus outbreak is nothing to sneeze at (if you’ll pardon the pun), the best way to fight our collective pandemic fears is armed with accurate information and remaining calm. Especially, don’t be tricked by those individuals or groups making a bad situation even worse by exploiting our fears for some hidden agenda.

Financial and business blogger Josh Steimle has penned some wise lay observations about “fear” which deserve repeating here, especially in light of the sometimes hyperbolic news about coronavirus.

“Fear exists to keep us safe,” Steimle wrote. “It is not inherently bad or good but a tool we can use to make better decisions... When fear strikes consider whether the correct action might be to analyze the options and make a wise, well thought out choice, rather than jumping to what seems right in the heat of the moment... Embrace fear as instruction and let it inform your actions, but not control them.”

Yes, by all means be cautious when it comes to the coronavirus, but first listen to our health experts (and your family physician) before running out to buy the last surgical face mask in town.

And just as the British government publicly posted in the darkest days of the London Blitz, “Stay calm and carry on.”

Today’s version of a pandemic nightmare is the 2020 coronavirus outbreak.

Yet when compared to 1918-20, the current outbreak appears rather small: so far, 2,942 deaths are from the cornoavirus, compared to 50 million-plus deaths caused by the Spanish flu. We say this not to diminish the lives of coronavirus victims but to provide perspective and help calm present fears.

Why bother? Well, human fear is a powerful force to unleash, especially when it occurs needlessly en masse.

At the moment, N-class (and other) surgical face masks are flying off the shelves nationwide. This run-on face masks says a lot about these basic human fears.

For example, here in Addison County, Vermont, local drug store staffers are reporting empty shelves; that is, every surgical-style face mask package, regardless of its true effectiveness against a virus, has been sold out within the past few weeks. Ditto, druggists we canvassed via telephone across the lake in New York.

On Feb. 29, the U.S. Surgeon General addressed the face mask problem. He Tweeted a stern warning to American citizens about scarfing up the masks: “Seriously people-STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing (the) general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!”

From FIRE TRAINING CENTER » pg. 1

A supervisors’ committee agreed to a resolution moving the project forward last week.

The county should know in another month if the funding is still viable, and if so the center would be built later this year, Jaquish said. The project has been about two-and-a-half years in the making, and was originally slated for a different site at the old landfill, which was rejected because it was determined to be too close to existing landfill cells.

After that determination, a study indicated the Elizabethtown site would be the next best option, but it was opposed by the neighborhood.

The training center is considered essential because it

The Valley News Sun | March 7, 2020 • 7

provides needed training for Essex County firefighters, who must now travel to training centers in Lake Placid, Plattsburgh or even Saratoga Springs.

The distance is a big deal, said Deputy Fire Coordinator Pat Tromblee, because fire companies use their own trucks for the training, meaning that including travel time they can be out of service for eight or 10 hours.

The training building is essentially a shell with realistic mockups inside of single family homes or apartment complexes. “The interior of the building looks a lot like a house, with a living room, kitchen and bedrooms,” Jaquish said. “They’re as realistic as we can make them.”

The fire comes courtesy of wood pallets and hay, and firefighters must learn to negotiate the structure in dangerous and deteriorating conditions. The shell

of the building is metal and it’s insulated to prevent and flames from escaping.

Along with fire training, the center can be used by other first responders, including police and ambulance crews.

Firefighters used to get their training by burning abandoned buildings, but that practice was effectively ended by a surfeit of red tape in 2001.

Jaquish said the site across from the Elizabethtown Fire Department seemed ideal because it had power and water and was an otherwise undevelopable brownfield that the county had given to the town. Most importantly it was equidistant from the county fire companies. But “people were opposed, and we couldn’t wait and deal with all the controversy,” Jaquish said. ■

“This exercise was informed by formal guidance and best practices from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the New York State Department of Health.”

HOSPITAL COMMAND SYSTEM

With reports of passengers from a Japanese cruise ship, the Diamond Princess, in quarantine at Cornwall, Ontario, Adirondack Health initiated its Hospital Command System.

“This process, modeled on the federal government’s National Incident Management System, allows us to continuously monitor our emergency preparedness and response capabilities across hospital departments and divisions, with an emphasis on both clinical and community implications,” Beiras said.

Cornwall is located at the U.S./Canadian border about 70 miles from Adirondack Medical Center’s Emergency Department.

To date, no one from the cruise ship has shown any symptoms related to coronavirus.

Adirondack Health maintains isolation rooms in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, Beiras said.

“Should they be needed, these rooms feature individual restrooms and negative pressure air handling systems. Negative pressure prevents cross-contamination in hospital facilities by employing a dedicated ventilation system, allowing air to enter the isolation room but preventing it from escaping.”

When a hospital room is turned over, she explained, a Surfacide disinfection system uses ultraviolet light to disinfect all surfaces.

For the upcoming November presidential election, many politicians and their “free everything” minions want to paint Capitalism as evil, serving only the wealthy, and Communism/Socialism “social justice” policies as good for all. This simplistic characterization makes it very easy to buffalo an uneducated populace that knows very little about either economic system other than cute bumper sticker clichés such as “Capitalism bad; Socialism good.”

Let’s forget the clichés and see what each system provides its citizens.

An Ar menian/Russian neighbor just returned from Cuba. Here is what he experienced.

Cubans are a happy people. They have free healthcare, free education, free housing, what more could anyone want?

Unfortunately, the average income is $25 a month. Upper-income doctors earn $60 a month. Furthermore, the government tells them what jobs suit them best. The only wealthy are the military and high-level government bureaucrats.

Plenty of American vintage cars are everywhere because, until recently, American automobiles and parts could not be exported or imported. This is a moot point because, with only $25 a month income, no one can afford anything anyway -- except the wealthy bureaucrats and the military. It’s also very hard to travel anywhere when you earn only $25 a month.

The same neighbor also lived in the Bolshevik Soviet Union when it was under Communist rule. After the Soviet Union collapsed, there are still many poor people in Russia, but now there are a lot of billionaire wealth and job creators and, more importantly,

opportunities for the poor to they themselves become wealth and job creators.

Contrast this with life in a Capitalist country like the US then ask yourself: Do we want a weak US, where only bureaucrats have any significant wealth, while the low-income demographic striving to achieve the American Dream have no hope whatsoever to achieve that dream because the wealth and job creators that make it all possible left after tax-the-hell-out-of-therich “social justice” policies forced them to leave? Remember “Atlas Shrugged”?

Or, do we want a wealthy US, still with a significant, but declining, demographic of low income struggling residents who now, instead of hopeless despair, generally have an OPTIMISTIC outlook for the future with unlimited opportunities for them to achieve the American dream; and become wealth and job creators themselves?

I’m reminded of a scene in the movie “Dr. Zhivago,” where Yuri returns to his pre-Bolshevik fiancé’s elegant Tsarist-era home only to find it trashed and several Bolsheviks living there. The area administrator assigns him and his fiancé’s family a living area. Yuri sarcastically tells the official, “Yes, comrade, this is a much better arrangement than before!”.

Yes, comrades, America will be a much better place if the uneducated, easily manipulated dependent poor take over; than before, when the capitalists created wealth and jobs. Welcome to a future America, where we hypocritically profess compassion for our poor but take away any hope of, or opportunity for, them to achieve the American dream because the wealth and job creators who make it possible all left!

One last point. The next time someone criticizes wealth, ask them if social justice activists, uneducated, easily manipulated, and dependent poor sign your paychecks! ■

Rebecca Lynn Kubik February 22, 2020 ELIZABETHTOWN | Rebecca Lynn Kubik, 57, passed away on Saturday, February 22, 2020, after many years of health issues.

Born in E l i z a b et htow n , New York, she was a fighter from day one. She beat the odds and survived 55 years past the age doctors thought she would live. She took charge of her life and faced each challenge bravely.

She competed in the NYS Special Olympics in 1974. After graduating high school, she went on to attend and graduate from Hudson Valley Community College. She loved music, Disney, coloring, bingo and putting puzzles

together. Her favorite color was purple. She was an inspiration to all those who came in contact with her. She will be sorely missed.

Becky is survived by her mother and stepfather; three sisters and her brother and their families; as well as many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins.

There will be a graveside gathering at Riverside Cemetery Elizabethtown on April 25, 2020, at 11 a.m. She will be laid to rest next to her grandparents. We ask that those in attendance with a Becky story, to please feel free to share them with everyone. All are welcome to attend.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers you make a donation to the NYS Special Olympics in her honor.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Heald Funeral Home, 7521 Court St., Elizabethtown.

Cosmic, a stellar kitty

Money can be used to repair Halloween Storm damage

By Bryeanna Villani COLUMNIST

From staff reports STAFF WRITER

TICONDEROGA | The U.S. Small Business Administration has granted the New York’s request for a Physical Disaster Declaration for three counties impacted by last year’s Halloween storm, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced last week.

The storm caused more than $10 million in damages in local communities and affected nearly 400 homes, businesses and nonprofits. Essex, Herkimer and Oneida Counties are included in the declaration, and the contiguous counties of Clinton, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Lewis, Madison, Montgomery, Oswego, Otsego, St. Lawrence, Warren and Washington are also eligible for the program.

Under the declaration, impacted individuals, families, businesses and nonprofits in eligible counties can now apply for lowinterest loans from the Small Business Administration to aid in their recovery.

“I’m glad our federal partners at the SBA have made these low interest loans an option for New Yorkers affected by the devastating Halloween storm,” Cuomo said in a media statement. “At the same time, it’s extremely disappointing that FEMA denied our request for emergency funding for the three hundred homeowners impacted by the floods. When natural disasters strike, the federal government and FEMA in particular need to step up and help.”

FEMA approved reimbursement for damage caused to municipalities, but not to individuals.

State and federal response teams did confi rm that there was major damage to 145 homes and 29 businesses totaling $5.6 million and $1.5 million respectively, as well as minor damage to 193 homes and 17 businesses/nonprofits totaling $2.6 million and $380,000, respectively.

The following groups may be eligible

Cosmic is a young male cat, probably about a year old. This solid boy is proof that black is slimming across the board, as Cosmic is heavier than you’d think. While not fat, Cosmic is the kind of cat who knows how to throw his weight around. This big boy knows how to make his needs known, and don’t worry, he will! He’s not a regularly vocal cat, but when he wants something, such as to be let into his room, there’s no ignoring Cosmic!

Cosmic is a sweet boy who enjoys being loved-up, though he’s one of those that gets overstimulated and then bites or swipes while purring loudly. When in the mood, he’ll play like a cat possessed. He loves treats, though he won’t be bought with them. He’s got a habit of being a bully

A water rescue in Schroon during the 2019 Halloween flooding. Photo by Tim Rowland for help from SBA loans: Homeowners, up to $200,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate; homeowners and renters, up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property; business owners, up to $2 million for the replacement of real estate, inventories, machinery, equipment and other physical losses; businesses and nonprofits, Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to provide necessary working capital until normal operations resume after a disaster.

Interest rates can be as low as 1.5 percent for homeowners and renters, 2.75 percent for nonprofit organizations and 3.875 percent for businesses, with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition.

Indiv iduals and businesses may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application via SBA’s secure website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.

Individuals and businesses may also obtain information and loan applications by calling the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955 or 1-800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, or by emailing disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. Loan applications can also be downloaded at www. sba.gov/disaster. Completed applications should be returned to the Center or mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Rd., Fort Worth, Texas 76155.

The filing deadline to return applications for physical property damage is April 27, 2020. The deadline to return economic injury applications is Nov. 25, 2020. ■

with other cats, and we’ve seen the fur fly.

There’s no reason that Cosmic can’t live in a home with other cats, but they’ve got to be able to hold their own or to ignore him.

We don’t know how he feels about dogs, but we think he’ll probably try to mess with them, too. Cosmic is a sweet, spunky and willful cat (though aren’t they all) who is a lot of fun and would interject so much life into a household. Please come down and meet this nice boy! ■
