Westport launches bid for Historic Registry Homeowners: Proposal has pros and cons

WESTPORT Ñ Little ripples are forming in this lakefront community as it shakes the rust off a push to enter the former village on the National Historic Register.

To do so, the town must apply for a state grant that would bring in an expert to conduct a survey.

Like with other grants, state approval is tied to evidence of support exhibited across a cross-section of the population, from business owners to John Q. Taxpayer.

The Heritage House in Westport, pictured above, has launched a bid for inclusion on the National Historic Register.

SARANAC LAKE Ñ Ò MechatronicsÓ might be this fallÕ s Adirondack buzzword if North Country Community College manages to lock in federal funds that may have a ripple effect across the region.

The North Country is prime real estate for high tech investment, said New York Sen. Charles Schumer, who was in Saranac Lake on Friday, Aug. 15 to add firepower to the grant application that will free up $15 million in funds to establish a program at NCCC that will train workers in mechatronics, the emerging field that incorporates electrical, mechanical, computer and industrial engineering.

NCCC is one of the 30 SUNY schools across the state that have joined together to submit a consortium application from US Department of LaborÕ s Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training grant program, or TAACCCT. Ò There are jobs available in the North Country and people are looking for work,Ó said Schumer at a meeting with local stakeholders at the North Elba Town House on Friday. Ò But people donÕ t have the skills. We have to make community colleges the link between jobs that are going unfilled and employers by providing these skills.Ó Schumer said the industry is booming across the state.

Over 800 jobs are expected to be created in the North Country between 2010 and 2020.

ThatÕ s in comparison to 13,000 throughout the rest of the state.

Schumer said jobs that were once readily available without a college degree Ñ like welding and car mechanics, to CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Connell honored with 2014 Essex County Fair dedication

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WESTPORT Ñ Over the past 42 years, many faces have come and gone on the Essex County Fair Board of Directors.

One, however, has been there for more than four decades, from the 124th annual edition to the 166th, held this year from Aug. 13-17.

For that service, Westport Supervisor Dan Connell was honored with the annual dedication of the fair, held during opening

ceremonies Aug. 13. Ò I have enjoyed the group of people who have all done the same kind of things that I have done,Ó Connell said. Ò Anyone who has received this award is because the fair is in their blood and they do what they do because they love it and I have been the same way. ItÕ s just an honor to be included with people who did the same things I did to help the fair grow.Ó Connell started his service with the Essex County Fair after coming to town to work for the Cornell Cooperative Extension office located on the grounds. Ò I grew up in Clinton County in 4-H and I grew up with that fair,Ó Connell said. Ò I just enjoy keeping my hand in it.Ó Former fair manager Ernie LaPine, a past honoree and emcee for the event, said he felt honoring Connell with the dedication,

Ò was a very, very easy choice.Ó Ò This man has spent 42 years on the fair board,Ó he said. Ò Dan was always there to help. Whenever I asked, whatever I asked he was always there to do it. He has spent most of that time fighting for the betterment of this fair. He has fought to make it better and to keep it here in Westport. He promoted it and has given it his all to the fair. He has always been here for the people of this county and the people of this community.Ó The 42 years of continuing service on the board was a record for longevity, according to LaPine.

LaPine said Connell has helped fairs throughout the North Country, often traveling with the Essex County delegation to state-wide fair events as far away as Rochester. Ò This is a much deserved honor for him,Ó he concluded.

Westport Supervisor Dan Connell, sixth from left, was honored with the 2014 fair dedication by members of the Essex County Fair Board of Directors. Connell has served as a member of the board for the past 42 years.

As was the case last year, admission will be $20 for early birds who want to get in between 9 and 10 a.m. After 10 a.m, admission will be free.

After 2 p.m, unsold items are reduced to half price and the whole deal ends at 3 p.m. On sale will be artworks, furniture, books, and odds and ends that make for excellent Christmas gifts.

ood news (sort of) for ACAP Afterschool Program parents and kidsÑ as of now, the Westport program will run through September, which is better than nothing for the 30 or so families in the community who rely on it. Parents and other concerned people met at the school last week, and it was decided that since the current grant officially runs to the end of September, a little afterschool care is better than none at all. You can pick up an application at the Westport Central School office or at ACAP in Elizabethtown.

If you are outraged that (as I reported a few weeks ago) not a single afterschool program in Essex County was funded, you might wish to write to your government representatives to protest. Even more so when you realize that it wasnÕ t just Essex CountyÑ all of the $17 million-plus in afterschool funding in this grant cycle went to Albany and points south. ThatÕ s right, nothing for the rural north. Sadly, a familiar story.

And now the state is wondering what to do with its surplus funds. Well, I know lots of bright and motivated K-6 graders who could tell them. And lots of hardworking parents in small towns all around the North Country. If you would like demand some of those funds

ner of barbeque chicken, baked potato, corn on the cob and coleslaw with a beverage. Cost is $8. To buy a ticket, contact any member of the fire department or call 873-9944 and leave a message. This is a rain or shine event to benefit the fire company.

Tuesday, Aug. 26 is the 3rd Mushroom Foraging Workshop beginning at 9:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. Ari Rockland-Miller, co-founder of The Mushroom Forager, will guide you on a hike around Black Kettle Trail learning how to find and choose mushrooms for your own home cooking.

This educational hike is hosted by CATS, registration is required. Check out their website for more details: champlainareatrails.com.

The Adirondack History Center MuseumÕ s lecture series continues Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. in the UCC parish hall. This weekÕ s topic is Ò The Mountain Will Wait for You.Ó Here, learn more about what it means to be a 46er.

A wine and cheese reception, documentary and celebration honoring Adirondack 46er Club founder Grace Hudowalski. will follow. Tickets are $8, $5 for museum members. Call 873-6466 or visit the website at adkhistorycenter.org for additional information.

ave you marked your calendars?

The annual Antique and Tag Sale at the Whallonsburg Grange is swiftly approaching! Saturday, Aug. 23 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m, you can take advantage of some wonderful items to purchase with proceeds to benefit the NCSPCA. As our previous attendees know, this is not a rummage sale - we can promise you lots of Ò really good stuffÓ of all kinds.

For the best pick of what is available, come in as an Ò Early BirdÓ between 9-10 a.m. for $20.

General admission is free from 10 a.m until 3 p.m. Everything is marked down to half price from 1-3 p.m for some amazing deals.

We hope to see you there!

Our featured pet this week is Jasper, a Domestic Shorthair-mix who came in with his brother, Jackson. These two patchwork, blackand-white cats are possibly the sweetest kittens you will ever meet.

Jasper is a very happy healthy older kitten who is about five months old and has a real zest for life. He loves to play and charm anyone who will watch with his acrobatics and antics, but also settles down quickly for some serious cuddling. This little guy is the purr-fect addition to any home with family members who have

The cool temperatures are great for keeping the flower beds looking good and of course the lawn, which should be in its mid-summer slump, is exuberantly green. But so are the hay fields, which will be getting mowed as soon as thereÕ s a stretch of sunny days.

My job gathering farm business data for USDAÕ s ag statistics service takes me all over Essex, Clinton and parts of Warren County. WeÕ ve done surveys on flower growing, irrigation systems, cold storage capacities, fruit growing and all manner of dairy farming.

Most farmers are surprisingly cooperative once you explain what youÕ re after, although at times they can be hard to understand, especially along the Canadian border. When talking to family, friends or even their dogs, they employ a rapid fire blend of French and English liberally salted with off-color words from both languages, but use good clear (and still very pungent) English when answering my questions. I wish my French was better and I truly envy those bilingual dogs.

Colin Wells • WestportNYNews@gmail.com so our kids can have the same care that kids in cities like Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and New York are going to get with your tax dollars, drop me an email and IÕ ll be happy to send you the names and addresses to write to, along with a template for a letter that you can use for yours.

Meantime, donÕ t miss Ò Pete Ô NÕ KeelyÓ at the Depot Theatre, Aug. 22-31. This upbeat musical turns the clockback to 1968, telling the story of a much-beloved but recently divorced singing couple who reunite for one more broadcast to please their fans.

Visit depottheatre.org or call the box office at 962-4449. And the last Soundwaves concert in Ballard Park will be acclaimed Jazz vocalist Rebecca Martin, on Thursday, Aug. 28, at 7:30 p.m.

Next week, I’ll fill you in on the upcoming Shakespeare-in-the-Park performance of LoveÕ s Labours Lost on August 31 at 3 p.m.

real change in the weather making it feel more like fall. In just two weeks, it will be the start of the school year.

Many of us, I think, we still had some summer activities that we hoped to still get done.

Well, it is what it is and we need to cope.

I still noticed that there is a plea out for host homes for foreign exchange students to spend the school year attending our local school. If you might be interested, call Charlie Lustig at 963-7787 for more information.

There is a rabies clinic to be held on Aug. 19 at the Essex Town Garage. Pets must be on a leash or in a container.

Another one of those great Morning Breakfast meals will be served at the Willsboro Fire Station on Sunday, Aug. 24 from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m for the cost of $9 for adults and $5 for children. Pre-school is free.

It is a real joy to share worship time with the residents at the Willsboro Senior Assisted Living Center each week. We are sofortunate to have the assistance of Richard Greer on the piano for our music. The center now has some 50 to 55 residents living there now. If there is any interested community person that would like to assist in this program, give me a call.

he Book sale at the Keeseville Free Library is this week. The sale starts from Wednesday, Aug. 20 until Monday, Aug. 25. I always find a lot of great books at the booksale as well as audio tapes and DVDs. While visiting the sale, be sure to check out the annual Multi Artist Exhibit and Sale also going on now in the library.

This year, the show features art in the medium of pottery, oils, pen and ink, fine woodworking, textiles and photography.

As always, the art is incredibly beautiful and very reasonably priced. The exhibit and sales will run through Sept. 11.

The Anderson Falls Heritage Society will be hosting Peter Slocum for the next part of their summer lecture series. Mr. Slocum will speak on the subject of the Abolitionist on the Underground Railroad. Many Quaker families and others, who believed in equality for all, risked their lives as agents on the Underground Railroad to help escaped slaves reach Canada.

SlocumÕ s lecture will occur on Thursday, Aug. 28 at 7:00 p.m in the Anderson Falls Heritage House Museum located on 96 Clinton Street.

DonÕ t forget our Wednesday FarmerÕ s Market with even more vendors than in the past.

They have had a very busy season and think you can still pick up some used books for your winter reading.

All the activity at the Willsboro Methodist Church this past week was having the annual Summer Vacation Bible School for the younger children. Then, at the same church, they will be having a special evening of music on Saturday, Aug. 23. It will be Ò Country Music by the RiverÓ with the music provided by the Tuttle Family starting at 6:30 p.m. This is planned to be held out by the river, but if the weather is not good, they will go inside. There is no charge but they will pass the hat at the close of the program.

The older youth will be making available for sale light supper food as they are raising funds to go on a special trip this fall. I hope the weather makes it a pleasant event.

The Jerry Lewis Telethon of the 21st Century

T

here is one thing we absolutely cannot understand: why has anyone had anything bad to say about the Ice Bucket Challenge?

The Internet sensation has swept the nation, drawing millions of followers and million of dollars to help support the fight against ALS. LetÕ s start with why this message is so important.

ALS, short for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and also known as Lou GehrigÕ s disease, is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by muscle spasticity, rapidly progressive weakness due to muscle atrophy, difficulty speaking, swallowing and breathing.

It is the most common of the five motor neuron diseases. Despite this, many people learn about it for the first time when they are in the doctor’s office receiving the grim news. ALS has no cure, and a diagnosis is basically a death sentence.

Enter the Ice Bucket Challenge.

It started as a challenge for charity in general, but then started to grow in the ALS community headlined by the challenge from former Boston College baseball captain Pete Frates.

The challenge is simple: if you are nominated, you have 24 hours to either accept the challenge and pour a bucket of ice-cold water over your head or make a $100 donation to the ALS Association.

Many of the people who have accepted the challenge have opted to do both, giving a donation along with getting soaked for the cause.

The challenge has spread, going to the heights of power (Pres. Barrack Obama opted to donate $100 to the fight against ALS and not take the challenge), celebrity (Justin Beiber, Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift and many others) to the small towns around the North Country.

Locally, members of the Essex County Courthouse took the challenge in honor of one of their own, Lawrence Bliss, who succumbed to the disease in 2011. It then extended to members of the Essex County SheriffÕ s Department and has also included town supervisors Tom Scozzafava and Bill Grinnell, among others.

Here at Denton Publications, editors John Gereau and Keith Lobdell have accepted the challenge, along with many members of their families.

ALS is a far too common word here. The ALS Raising Hope Foundation was started by Roger and Darlene Long in 2009 after Roger was diagnosed with the disease. They found there was an unusual Òb ubbleÓ of people diagnosed with the disease in the area and started the fight on the local level to help find treatments and a cure for the disease.

Roger himself has taken the challenge, although a modified version given his frail condition. Along with the posting of his acceptance of the challenge, his wife held a sign for him that simply stated, ÒI challenge you.Ó So what has this internet phenomenon done?

As of Tuesday morning, Aug. 19, donations to the ALS Association marked as resulting directly from the Ice Bucket Challenge had totaled $22.9 million.

August 23, 2014

The ALS Association has also only been tracking donations coming from the challenge since July 28, so that means they have received an average of $996,000 per day since the challenge hit the mainstream.

LetÕ s compare that to Aug. 19 of last year, when donations to the association as a whole totalled $1.9 million over the same time period. Simple math thatÕ s an increase of $21 million. ÒO ur top priority right now is acknowledging all the gifts made by donors to the ALS Association,Ó said Barbara Newhouse, President and CEO of the ALS Association in a press release. Ò We want to be the best stewards of this incredible influx of support... When people look back on this event in 10 and 20 years, the Ice Bucket Challenge will be seen as a real game-changer for ALS.Ó The association reported that along with regular contributors, the challenge has brought in 453,210 new donors. ThatÕ s almost 500,000 who know more about ALS and what it does to people, and took the time to give.

You know what the Ice Bucket Challenge is?

ItÕ s the Jerry Lewis Telethon of the 21st century.

Comedian and former Rat Pack member Lewis hosted an annual telethon over Labor Day Weekend with the goal of raising funds for The National Muscular Dystrophy Association. The show would take the airwaves for an entire weekend, with celebrities giving their time to perform and answer phone calls while top executives from companies around the nation would come on stage and present Lewis with checks for staggering amounts to go toward helping ÒJ erryÕ s Kids.Ó The show has since lost ground in the fast-paced world that revolves less around television and more around Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. So with a new generation of media, comes a new generation of media fundraising, with the Ice Bucket Challenge being the prime example of the right way to use the medium in order to gain attention to a cause.

Unfortunately, with the social media culture of today comes a horde of Debby Downers, raining on the parades of anything wholesome by trying to nitpick at the smallest details to turn something as pure as the Ice Bucket Challenge into nothing more than a clever rouse. These people are wrong.

The Ice Bucket Challenge proves that, as a whole, we are not a society of cynics. We can rally together for a cause. We can support each other by taking a couple minutes out of our days to show support for people suffering from terrible breaks in life. We can give hope to people fighting the biggest fight of their lives.

So, when you get tagged on someoneÕ s Facebook video or Twitter feed, we encourage you to accept the challenge and give to the ALS Association. Then, invite your friends to do the same. Be part of something amazing and help change the game forever in the battle against ALS. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Editorial thought provoking To the Editor: Your recent editorial about the expense of quarantining two American victims of Ebola virus was thought provoking. I share your frustration about funding priorities. Ebola has caused hundreds of deaths and we hope a cure and treatment are in the nottoo-distant future.

But to put this in perspective, in the early 2000Õ s when multidrug resistant TB was discovered, it cost NYC up to half million to quarantine each patient. TB is treatable with a pretty inexpensive regimen of drugs IF people get tested, treated and take their full course of treatment. Let us not forget that millions of people die from TB, AIDS and Malaria. And that millions of children die in Africa of vaccine treatable diseases.

Den Pub readers might be interested to learn that thanks to the global vaccine alliance called GAVI, hundreds of millions of children were vaccinated and 6 million lives were saved since 2000. Because many more villages in Africa have access to health care and vaccines, many families no longer watch their children die of measles, diarrhea and pneumonia. An additional 3 million childrenÕ s lives will be saved if GAVIÕ s multi-national budget is funded for the next 5 years. New anti-rotoviral drugs (anti-pneu-

monia) are available but need refrigeration and staff and a way to get them into isolated towns and villages.

The 25% growth in African economy due to health improvements has yet to diminish the view expressed in your editorial of hopeless frustration. I invite you to educate your readers with what is working in global humanitarian foreign aid. To counteract that, please join me in asking your Member of Congress, (mine is Congressman Bill Owens) to co-sponsor House Res 688 which supports GAVI, the global alliance for vaccines. The Resolution was recently introduced by Congresswoman Betty McCollum. 9 Republican and 9 Democratic members have provided strong bi-partisan initial co-sponsorship. Tell your representative to co-sponsor. Save lives.

Stop the fear mongering over Ebola To the Editor:

trol) website where you will find actual facts about the disease. (http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/about.html).

Ebola does NOT have Ò an almost a 100 percent transmission rate if there is even the slightest accidental skin-to-skin contact.Ó Transmission occurs only with direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person who is sick with Ebola or exposure to objects (such as needles) that have been contaminated with infected body fluids. The mortality rate is 60 percent (NOT 90 percent) and there is reason to believe with proper medical care (as one would receive in a U.S. hospital) it would be far lower.

Bringing two health workers back to the U.S. for treatment in a qualified hospital with proper protective equipment, such as masks, gowns, and gloves (most of which are absent in Africa) makes transmission very unlikely and allows us to discover first hand how well these patients respond to good healthcare. What we can learn from their treatment will be invaluable to the ongoing battle with this disease.

This editorial had the feel of fear mongering. Ebola is bad enough without embellishments. I donÕ t know who is on the “Denton Publications Editorial Board,” but shame on you! Check your facts.

This is response to your editorial, Ò Ebola makes its way to the U.S.Ó I was disturbed by the blatant inaccuracies in this editorial.

News in Brief Bandshell bags big band

LAKE PLACID Ñ The newly constructed Paul White Bandshell in Lake Placid will be the venue for a free concert featuring big band and swing music on Thursday, Aug. 21 at 7 p.m.

BobÕ s Big Band was formed in the spring of 2012 as the creation of Dr. Robert Delfausse, former Chair of the Music Department at Wagner College on Staten Island, New York. Bob now resides in Lake Placid during the summer months and wanted to continue playing big band and swing music upon retiring. He enticed about 19 area musicians to join him, including from Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, Keene and Keene Valley. Some of the members are professional music educators, but most work in careers other than music. It is also multi-generational as a few high school students are thrown into the mix. What all members have in common, however, is a love of playing and a sense of the joy that is part of creating music with others.

The groupÕ s repertoire includes some big band standards along with newer swing and light jazz pieces. Much of the music they play is composed by such greats as Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, and Sammy Nestico.

Hobos to descend on Saranac Lake

SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Sixth Annual Hobofest will clomp into Saranac Lake on Sunday, Aug. 31.

From page 1 Funding plays a significant role.

The Heritage House National Register Committee, the group spearheading the effort, reached out to stakeholders for donations to show community commitment and reduce the grant amount needed to hire the consultant who comes with a $9,000 price tag.

The town voted to commit $500 cash plus $500 in-kind services, dropping the grant request down to $8,000.

On Wednesday, Aug. 6, the Westport Chamber of Commerce was asked to kick in $500.

Members were informed on July 29 when Chamber President Dee Carroll received a letter from Lakes to Locks Heritage Program Director Margaret Gibbs on behalf of the Heritage House requesting the contribution.

Shortly afterward, Carroll emailed members with a statement of urgency asking them to consider the request.

At the ChamberÕ s meeting on Aug. 6, town councilperson Nancy Page pitched the idea.

The more contributions from the community, the higher the likelihood of success, she said. Ò As far as I know, there is no downside, no intrusion,Ó she said Page explained businesses would be eligible for up to 40 percent in tax credits, and 20 percent for residents, should they wish to bring their properties up to meet certain norms in terms of historic value.

Non-profit organizations are not eligible for tax credits, including Westport Federated Church, although they would become eligible for Sacred Sites preservation funding from a New York City-based nonprofit. Ò ItÕ s quite substantial and very advantageous considering youÕ re doing something with historic character,Ó she said.

Page said a possible historic district would include the hamlet, roughly equivalent to the old village area.

The exact borders will be hammered out throughout the survey process, she said.

FIRST STEP Chamber members appeared open to the proposal but were unclear on some of the specifics: Ò Financially, we need to step back and say, Ô ItÕ s great for the hamlet, but how does it affect business in the community?Ó said Champlain National Bank staffer Danielle Bikowitz. Ò How many people know [about the grant] in the community?Ó asked Medara Sherman, who also works at the bank.

Page said the application marked the first step. After that, she said, letters would be sent out to property owners. Public meetings would also be scheduled. Ò WeÕ re still asking to spend money on something we donÕ t know if the community is behind,Ó said Sherman.

Page said it’s in the town’s best interest to take this first step. Ò The town board is theoretically representing the people,Ó she said. Ò There would be many public meetings. The state is not

“They killed the town. They’re like the Gestapo.”

Ed French on the Essex Community Heritage interested in having historic sites where the public is not interested. WeÕ re lucky because half has been done, itÕ s a very modest step.Ó RUBBED WRONG Inclusion on the National Register is not a new concept for Westport. Gibbs said student interns spearheaded a push in 1987, but the project was forgotten and lay dormant for a quarter century before being resurrected.

“State employees changed, records were lost, deficiencies were found. The history is very complex. The time is now to bring the project up to speed,Ó wrote Carroll in an email to chamber members. Ò Only if the grant is approved, will we be in the game,Ó said Gordon Decker.

“I would be more confident backing $500 knowing it’s money weÕ re not throwing into the wind,Ó replied Bikowitz. Ò That rubs me the wrong way, that we have to pay to get money,Ó said Sherman. Ò We have a budget. But just because itÕ s in the budget, it doesnÕ t mean weÕ re going to spend it,Ó Decker said.

He said the chamber had only spent $100 from their economic development fund out of a total $2,000. Ò WeÕ re racing towards the end of the year and I sense weÕ re not going to spend everything.Ó Chris Maron said he supported the measure. Ò Through economic development, weÕ re being asked to invest in the community,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s good for business and good for the community. I think weÕ ll have a better opportunity to get grants if weÕ re a historic district Ñ I think itÕ s a no-brainer.Ó The board opted to kick in the cash with four voting in favor and two abstentions. Ô PINK POLKA DOTSÕ Westport Supervisor Dan Connell said he supports the project.

Under his leadership, the town board passed a resolution to serve as an applicant in April. Ò If designated, it possibly makes some funds available for people who might want to do some work on their homes and any businesses in the area,Ó he said.

Connell dismissed rumors that the measure would lead to stricter codes. Other parts of town are on the registry, he said, including Dudley Road. Ò They donÕ t have to come to the town board,Ó he said, referring to proposed building improvements. Ò They can do whatever they want.Ó Erin Tobin, the state official from Preserve NY who would help facilitate the survey, said the town is the ultimate arbitrator of possible codes that would come with the designation.

Tobin said inclusion on the National Register is primarily honorary and the grant would allow for the town to hire a consultant to examine buildings in the community to look at historic resources and assess if there could be a historic district, which would open the door to future tax credits designed to offer technical assistance to property owners working to rehabilitate historic buildings.

Owners can take advantage of credits on both state and federal income taxes, each providing 20 percent tax credits for something called Qualified Rehabilitation Expenditures (QREs).

Together, the federal and state programs would offset up to 40 percent of these QREs. The state tax credit is capped at $5 million and individual QREs themselves are capped at $50,000.

According to materials provided by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), applicants must be state taxpayers, spend five percent of the total on exterior work and receive approval from SHPO staff, the timeline of which remains unclear, as do the mechanics behind the project review process, including the extent to which Ò original and historicÓ materials should be used and the length of the approval process.

Work performed must meet federal preservation standards as established by the Secretary of the InteriorÕ s Standards of Rehabilitation and be approved by the National Park Service, said the materials. SHPO staff would review all projects and Ò work with property owners to determine the best approaches to rehabilitation objectives.Ó Typical qualifying work includes walls, masonry, finishes, windows and doors. Landscaping, fencing additions and garage rehabilitation would not qualify. Ò The program has been long recognized as a catalyst for economic revitalization,Ó said the materials. Ò It encourages investment, provides jobs and keeps building on the tax rolls.Ó Gibbs said if the area becomes known as a historic district, it could possible generate an uptick in tourism. Ò ThereÕ s no additional zoning and permitting or anything,Ó said Tobin. Ò You could paint your house pink polka dots if you wanted as long as it within the limits of the town building code.Ó The state government would have to file a report to see how construction would impact historic buildings, something that would have happen regardless, she said.

The designation would provide no additional marketing or signage around town. Ò ItÕ s really up to the community as to how they would celebrate the designation,Ó she said.

A decision is predicted to be handed down by Labor Day. CONTINUED ONNEXT PAGE

PLUSES AND MINUSES Samuel Sherman owns a business in the former village, Champlain Valley Milling, and lives in a well-kept Victorian house on a treelined stretch of Champlain Avenue.

He questioned inclusion on the National Registry under the grounds that landmark preservation is covered adequately by Town Law 25, a measure that also allows for the creation of a Preservation Advisory Board that would make recommendations to the planning board in consideration of special permits and perform additional unspecified duties when it comes to issues of historic preservation within the village.

While Sherman stressed civic responsibility and said he recognized the value of historic stewardship, he expressed displeasure at a lack of a public input on the issue. Ò We just want to have a chance to vote on it, not have it discussed at a specially-designated meeting,Ó he said in an interview. Ò ThereÕ s no sense in spending $500 to go after a grant to find out if we even want to qualify. Let’s get information to find out what happens afterward and then vote Ñ itÕ s just another level of government bureaucracy.Ó Derinda Sherman, his wife, echoed the transparency concerns and questioned where the tax credits would come from. Ò IÕ m curious as to who gets grants and criteria for spending money that no one seems to have.Ó Bradamant Real Estate Owner Sandy Goodroe said she saw pluses and minuses in a potential designation. Ò I like control, but I wouldnÕ t want to see APA-level control,Ó she

www.valleynewsadk.com said. Ò My biggest concern is what their intentions are and if they can be changed down the road.Ó Local resident Bradley Feldman used to live in Park Slope, Brooklyn and cited the neighborhoodÕ s powerful association. Ò ItÕ s cool to be listed, but there are caveats,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s a doubled-edged sword.Ó In Park Slope, if a building was landmarked, he explained, the board would then dictate what residents could and couldnÕ t do with their properties, both inside and out.

He cited stained glass window replacement as an example.

Next year, Feldman said he aims to construct a covered porch on the Gables, a property on Main Street, and expressed interest in possible tax breaks.

The New York transplant also said historic status wouldnÕ t necessarily increase property values: Renovation costs may be prohibitive, he said, and may discourage prospective homeowners from purchasing homes.

“Hopefully, they’ll find a happy medium,” he said.

Nona Hoskins said she approved, but like others, expressed a healthy dose of skepticism.

She cited an example of a South Carolina town that was ripped up by a hurricane. Replacement slate for the roof had to come from its original source Ñ England, making the replacement process more cumbersome than the storm itself. Ò But I think itÕ s a great idea and hope it works out.Ó Todd Simmons said as a state worker, heÕ s familiar with the pitfalls of bureaucracy. Ò ItÕ s a big legal entanglement in terms of buying historic properties,Ó said the local resident, who was interviewed in the midst of putting a porch on his house, a new acquisition.

“I’m definitely interested in grants, but provided there are not stipulations put on the property,Ó he said. Ò You always want to make sure.Ó Medara Sherman circled back to fiscal accountability. Ò Sometimes I think we spend money before we have the backing of the community,Ó she said. Ò Are we looking out for ourselves or for the community as a whole? If we become the Westport Historic District, what does that mean and what are the guidelines? IÕ m still unsure of that and I want to know 100 percent. IÕ m not saying itÕ s a bad idea Ñ it could be great Ñ but I want to make sure we under-

Lewis to raise funds for veterans’ memorial park

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com LEWIS — Supervisor David Blades shuffled through a collage of photos pointing out elements from memorial parks across the county Ñ a granite monument here, a hedgerow there.

After careful consideration, a committee designated to design a veteransÕ memorial park decided on two liner walls of fieldstone studded with bronze plaques. In the center, a center stone of marble would display five military seals and be flanked by a pair of flags.

Preparation for the park, like any wartime strategy, is being waged on two fronts.

The first is fundraising, said Dina Garvey, a committee member tasked with raising between $35,000 and $50,000 for the monument. Ò The town doesnÕ t really have anything to honor the veterans who have passed away and served our country,Ó she said. Ò This is a nice start.Ó Garvey said the committee hopes to construct the park, which is slated for a plot of land adjacent to the town hall, within the next two years to fend off rising materials costs.

The committee has about a fifth of what they need.

To rally the community, the committee plans a steady flow of activities: raffles, spaghetti and barbeque dinners designed to raise funds. An account has also been set up at the Rapid Returns redemption center in Elizabethtown.

Garvey has always lived in Lewis and been engaged in civic efforts.

She said the community has always been supportive, from playground construction to raising money for student field trips. Ò The amount of support is overwhelming,Ó she said. Ò It really says a lot about Elizabethtown and Lewis.Ó The second front is tracking down the names of local veterans.

As the Lewis town historian, Jean Dickerson is tasked with verifying the veterans from Lewis that will ultimately be engraved on the memorial.

Dickerson is elbow-deep in research, from scrolling through newspaper archives, sifting

through service records, genealogies and historical texts and making phone calls. Ò WeÕ re looking at all veterans buried to see whether they are Lewis people,Ó she said. Ò ThereÕ s lots of people buried here due to family, so itÕ s taking a lot of researchÓ Dickerson, who is also a Daughter of the American Revolution, isnÕ t yet sure of the exact figures.

The Civil War, she thought, would be the easiest, but sheÕ s not exactly sure if all the listed veterans are local Lewis folks. ThereÕ s about 50 from World War I (although there is some discrepancies in the American Legion lists, she said) and 75 who fought in World War II, which is easier to investigate because many descendents remain in the area.

Next step is the Korean, Vietnam and Iraq Wars.

Later, she’ll present her findings to the full committee, who will make a final decision. Ò WeÕ re just hoping we can get support from the community,Ó she said.

Blades said construction will start once the full amount has been raised. Preliminary land preparation will be done by the committee themselves before calling in an outside firm. Ò WeÕ re going to seek out grants,Ó he said.

“We just have to figure out where they’re going to come from.Ó Garvey encouraged county residents to step forward if they have any information about Lewis natives who have served in the military: Ò ItÕ s always our fear weÕ re going to miss someone.Ó

Mechatronics

to start work at an accelerated pace. Ò A similar grant was awarded in 2012, but NCCC was not part of that group of applicants. Ò But you are now,Ó said Schumer.

From page 1

name two Ñ increasingly require advance training. Ò These days, each car has three or four computer systems,Ó he said. Ò It takes certain mathematical skills.Ó This also applies to other industries, he said, like International Paper in Ticonderoga and McCadam Cheese, which has a plant in Chateaugay.

Representatives of both were among the gathered officials. Ò People want to live here Ñ itÕ s a beautiful place,Ó said Schumer. Ò But without these skills, they canÕ t.Ó 1,200 PEOPLE, 800 JOBS The funds would be used to establish a system-wide program that would prioritize training veterans, the downsized and traditional students.

Schumer said NCCC and other SUNY schools would then be able to train over 1,200 eligible local workers in two-year programs to prepare them for careers in mechatronics and advanced manufacturing. Ò This federal funding would be a win-win-win for our SUNY schools, the local businesses looking to hire workers, our veterans, unemployed and adult learners who are looking to break into a highly-skilled, innovative and well-paying field,” he said.

Schumer said he has called Labor Secretary Tom Perez several times to weigh in on behalf of the application.

If Perez approves the grant, NCCC, which also has a campus in Ticonderoga, would get a $517,345 slice to get the program running, including hiring staff, purchasing equipment and sending out feelers to local job creators to ascertain their needs. Ò WeÕ d be happy if we got $400,000,Ó said Maureen Sayles, NCCCÕ s Assistant Dean for Grants and Funded Programs. Ò ItÕ s essential if we want to move into new areas and this will help us

BIG CHEESE Agri-Mark Senior Vice President Robert Wellington, who later gave Schumer a large block of Adirondack Cheddar, said the Chateaugay facility pumps out 50 million pounds of cheese annually under the MaCadam brand. Ò IÕ ve been there,Ó said Schumer. Ò ItÕ s great cheese.Ó Wellington said a regional labor shortage has resulted in more automation at his facility. But skilled workers are still required to program and operate those machines. This, paired with a growing regional dairy industry that leans increasingly on robotics, means the grant would be a boon for the entire region, said Wellington. Ò Young farmers are coming in, itÕ s an agricultural renaissance.Ó Schumer agreed: Ò The number of cows are up, farms have increased and onethird of our milk is being exported,Ó he said. Ò ThereÕ s a resurgence in the North Country.Ó Trudeau Institute President Ronald Goldfarb said the grant would help his facility with immuno-engineering research. Ò We will need more people as the surge grows,Ó he said. Ò Workforce development and economic development must go hand in hand,Ó said North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry Douglas. Ò New skills are needed even for the jobs we already have, and those that we look to create in the North Country need the right kind of training programs, especially at our community colleges.Ó Douglas, whom Schumer called Ò indefatigable,Ó said employers across the region will benefit from the enhanced ability if the funding is approved.

CV • Valley News - 15 Ò Our thanks to Senator Schumer for his strong support and advocacy,Ó he said.

A decision on the grant will be announced later this fall.

ROUND TABLE In a brief roundtable discussion, elected officials pitched their local concerns to the Senator. Ò You tell me how things are going,Ó he said.

Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randall Douglas said there were still some residual issues facing municipalities three years after Hurricane Irene devastated a large swatch of northwestern Essex County.

Staffing issues at FEMA make nailing down a point person difficult, he said. Ò They change the leadership so often, we have to start all over from month to month.Ó Douglas handed Schumer a report on the flood-affected areas: Ò Without your help, we would be nowhere close to where we are today.Ó North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi passed along a Medicare constituent issue and asked Schumer to help with legislation that would tax online retailers.

Online commerce hurts local small businesses in his community, he said.

Schumer said a bipartisan Senate bill that addressed the issue passed the Senate 65-31, but the House of Representatives has held it up.

The Senator also pledged his support for a natural gas pipeline that would connect International Paper to Addison County, Vermont; funding to keep Olympic facilities in North Elba and Wilmington well-maintained and functioning and for the continued operation of rural post offices in danger of closure.

After the meeting, Schumer toured revitalization efforts on Main Street in Tupper Lake and met with officials to discuss economic development efforts.
