Cornell start-up business has local ties New drinkable meal biz MacroFuel has Plattsburgh roots By Pete DeMola

PLATTSBURGH — A Kickstarter project launched by a college student with ties to the region has rocketed past its goal. The North Country is a huge, expansive place. As Augustine Rietsema transversed the region last year as the deputy finance manager for Aaron Woolf ’s congressional campaign, the Plattsburgh native found that his diet was taking a hit. Cooking ahead of time was an option. But it wasn’t always possible, particularly during a hard-fought political campaign. “There’s gotta be a different way to get my nutrition than cooking for three hours on a Saturday night,” mused Rietsema, who now attends Cornell University in Ithaca. A Google search of “drinkable foods” led to a solution… sort of. While chugging liquid grub beat the alternative, Rietsema found that existing products tasted awful and didn’t mix well. Later that fall, by the time he was helping former Rep. Bill Owens transition out of office, Rietsema was spending $90 per week on the drinks. When he got to Cornell, Rietsema, now 22, learned that friends encountered similar problems while on the road. A pal put him in touch with a food scientist, Charles Lee, who examined the drink and said the ingredients were inefficient. The scientist tinkered away in his lab and came up with an alternative that used less ingredients, mixed well, and most importantly, tasted better — a roasted grain-type taste akin to the milk left over in a bowl of cereal. “That’s when we said, ‘We should go with this,’” recalled Rietsema, who graduated from Plattsburgh High in 2011. That was the beginning for MacroFuel. The crowdfunding campaign to generate start-up costs that ended on Tuesday ultimately raised just short of $21,000 in 30 days, more than 25 percent over the team’s goal. Marne Pike, a fellow Woolf staffer who helped facilitate the Kickstarter project, said she drew upon her experiences during the campaign to execute this project. Both are similar in that they require building support ahead of time.
A campaign to generate start-up funds for a drinkable food business has surpassed its goal. MacroFuel, a business started by Plattsburgh native Augustine Rietsema, aims to provide nutritionally complete, drinkable meals that taste good. Rietsema is pictured above with MacroFuel Chief Information Officer Alex Meyers. Photo provided
“The similarities are really strong,” said Rietsema, citing skills like the ability to organize and gather commitments. For now, the team of eight has their sights set on developing and refining a single product, explained Rietsema. As a small company, MacroFuel doesn’t yet have the capacity to create multiple runs with different flavors. “Right now, our focus is on drinkability,” said Rietsema. The young businessman sees the market as vast. While the ideal customer is an active young professional clocking more than 40 hours per week, anyone can find value in the product, hopes Rietsema, from campers to foodies with a taste for the experimental. The reception so far has been positive, said Rietsema, adding that it’s “definitely” a bipartisan drink. The crowdsourced funds, raised by more than 300 backers, will set the stage for their first production run at a professional facility (“It’s not like this product is being made in dorm rooms,” joked Rietsema). The first run will be shipped out to the project’s earliest supporters. It will be followed by a largerscale beta test that will allow the team to get feedback and make adjustments before selling to the general public. Rietsema sees this phase taking about six months. After that, they can look toward new flavors and varieties. What’s the ultimate goal? Nationwide availability and one-day shipping internationally. “There’s a lot of possibilities moving forward.”

“Looking Glass” explores mortality, creating a legacy Acclaimed director-writer team to engage audience at Lake Placid screening on Oct. 2 By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE PLACID — John Hancock and Dorothy Tristan are a director-writer duo who have been married for 40 years. It’s a partnership that has resulted in seven films that have peered into nearly every corner of the American consciousness, from the whimsical (Christmas flick “Prancer”), the horrific (1971’s “Let’s Scare Jessica to Death”) to “A Piece of Eden,” a film that explores the revitalization of the American heartland. Their next effort, “The Looking Glass,” aims to act as a vessel to convey the entirety of their accrued wisdom onward to the next generation. At the core of the picture is the story of a grandmother who desperately wants to connect with her recalcitrant, iPad-addicted teenage granddaughter before it’s too late. The catalyst stemmed from a grandson with a hard-to-crack computer addiction, laughed Hancock.
“It’s a very personal film, very close to our hearts,” Hancock said. The film, which opens in New York in October, will get an advance screening at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts on Oct. 2. Hancock and Tristan, who also acts in the film, hope to be there to answer questions. If they can’t make it — it’s a long drive from their home in Indiana, explained Hancock — then they’ll be patched in via Skype. “We’re very proud of this new film,” said Hancock. “In all screenings we’ve ever done, we’ve never had such great screening cards.” How to keep the partnership fresh after four decades? “We’re just in connection with each other,” said Tristan. “We do it do together.” The pair passes drafts back and forth during the writing process, explained Hancock. If one doesn’t like something in the other’s draft, it simply gets left out. “If bad things pass without a fight, it helps smooth the interpersonal relationship,” said Hancock. The event comes as part of the Adirondack Film Society’s Screening Series and will include a second film from Hancock. On Saturday, as baseball season reaches its apex, the AFS will screen “Bang the Drum
Slowly,” the classic 1973 baseball film that put Hancock — and a young Robert De Niro — on the map. Hancock pondered why it continues to remain a beloved favorite over the years. “It has a wonderful feeling for the losers in life and the underdogs,” said the director, “and that they have value, too, in some way.” AFS Operations Manager Fred Balzac said the series offers a valuable link for professional filmmakers to connect with small, rural communities. “It’s a much different experience watching live than watching on Netflix or on your laptop,” said Balzac. “It’s a great resource culturally.” “The Looking Glass” will be screened on Friday, Oct. 2, at 7 p.m. at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts and will be followed by a Q&A session with the writer and director. “Bang the Drum Slowly” will be shown on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. at the same facility. Tickets to each screening are $7, available at the door or in advance from the LPCA box office at 518-5232512 or lakeplacidarts.org.

Cuomo talks upstate economy in Adirondacks By Keith Lobdell
keith@suncommunitynews.com
BOLTON — In a room which included the former lieutenant governor and his predecessor, Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave his annual state of business address to a room full of upstate business leaders Sept. 18. Cuomo, who followed a forum led by former Gov. David Patterson, addressed the business council at the Sagamore in Bolton Landing, thanking them for their partnership and cooperation over the past five years. “We have been through a lot of tough challenges, but we have made it through,” Cuomo said. “For the first time, we have had a true partnership between the governor’s office in Albany and the business community of upstate New York.”
Cuomo touted his initiatives in upstate New York as helping to turn around a bad situation. “New York City is a different place now, but upstate was a much different story,” Cuomo said. “There was a sense of devastation that started to feed on itself. But, the numbers tell the story and New York has turned around because we have spent less. Because we are spending less, we can now tax less. Then you are stimulating the economy.” Cuomo said his goal has been to support upstate businesses and economies. “Upstate was not getting the support from the state they needed,” he said. “There is a New York contingent, but there is no upstate contingent.” Cuomo also took time to talk about reducing property taxes through the tax levy cap and consolidation of villages and government layers. “I am not in the business of propping up local governments,” he said. “That cannot be sustained. You have to become self-sustainable. You do not need the villages, the fire districts, the water districts, all the smaller forms of government that just add taxes. Lessen the forms of government, you lessen the taxes.” While Cuomo’s talk was heavy on upstate economics, there were no mentions of the North Country. When talking about state representation, the power point map was cut off at Warren and Washington Counties. The lone mention of the North Country came on a map showing decreases in unemployment numbers. Along with Patterson, former Lt. Governor Robert Duffy was on hand, leading several discussion groups during the three-day business council meeting.

Essex County sets date for tax auction Oct. 21 sale to auction off at least 75 properties By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — A tax sale designed to auction off tax delinquent properties in Essex County has been set for Oct. 21. Seventy-five properties, which fell into county hands due to taxes owed since 2010, are scheduled for the block. Essex County Treasurer Mike Diskin expects the number to fall to about 65 by next month. Typically, between 5-10 homeowners settle up before the sale, he said last week. Homeowners have up to two weeks before a sale to pay the back taxes. Essex County last held a tax auction in October, 2014. In May, the treasurer’s office reported 198 delinquent properties, which means over 100 have paid up over the summer. This year’s sale will be held at the Best Western in Ticonderoga. Registration starts at 10 a.m. with the auction following at 11 a.m. Brochures should be printed by this week, said Diskin, and several events will be held throughout the week prior to the sale. Organizers will host a seminar on Oct. 19 that will preview the parcels and answer procedural questions. The following day, the auction company, Haroff Auction & Realty, will preview some of the most desirable properties
(but only those that are unoccupied). Terms and conditions will be the same as last year following lawmaker requests for tightened regulations. Those owing back taxes will be forbidden to bid, while former owners and family members must bid at least the mount owed on back taxes and will be required to take back any outstanding liens. Successful bidders have until Nov. 30 to close on their purchases. Diskin expects the sale to be brisk, wrapping up within three hours. Last week, he urged supervisors not to be concerned with the first bid, but rather the last. While lawmakers have been vocal in their desire for the county to hold auctions at least twice per year — doing so will put properties back on the tax rolls while avoiding further deterioration of the buildings — county officials have said expediency isn’t always possible due to a combination of state law and the often-cumbersome process of conducting title searches and contacting owners. According to state law, foreclosure proceedings can begin 21 months after the lien date of the first tax that was owed. The law also requires county officials to search for alternate addresses to serve notices. If that doesn’t work out, officials are required to post notifications on the properties. If the homeowner does not respond in 30 days, the foreclosure process can then proceed.

Dear Donald: I must admit your recent success and rise in the polls for the presidency has surprised me. I cringe at the unconventional things you say, your braggadocios style and the insults you throw about, but it’s hard to argue with your success both in business and now in politics. You have proven you are a man who gets things done. I know it’s very early, but it’s hard to see how any of the other candidates are going to get a leg up on you unless something comes completely out of left field. Something like President Obama producing a birth certificate proving you are not really an American citizen. Short of that, you seem to have struck a cord with the Republican base that is looking for something different. Like Ronald Reagan, your success comes from surrounding yourself with very successful people and delegating responsibility to those with a passion for producing results in their field of expertise. Your next, best, unconventional move will be to name your running mate and cabinet officials right now. Make it clear to the American public, the Republicans are serious about turning the country around from the precipice we find ourselves. VP goes to Rick Perry, since he was wise enough to be the first to drop out of this over crowded field. Rounding out the team in no particular order; Secretary of State; Carily Feorina, Secretary of Defense; Marco Rubio, Secretary of Energy; Jeb Bush, Secretary of Labor; Scott Walker, Attorney General; Chris Christy, Secretary of Veteran’s Affairs; Lindsey Graham, Treasury Secretary; John Kasich, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; Ben Carson, Secretary of Agricultural; George Pataki, Secretary of Commerce; Bobby Jhindal, Secretary of Education; Mike Huckabee, Secretary of Health & Human Services; Rick Santorum, Home Land Security; Ted Cruz, and last but not least Rand Paul as Surgeon General. You are famous for building outlandish things. Here’s your chance to build a real A-Team for America. Save all the money wasted on campaigning and political advertising and start planning for a return to greatness today. God help you, and God help us, you’ve tapped into something. We all sure hope it’s not just Hot Air. Dan Alexander is president and CEO of Sun Community News.

Local governments can improve transparency with online tools I
n June, the town of Moriah began making recent videos of board meetings accessible via YouTube, an online video sharing site. The decision was a laudable step in improving government transparency. Residents with concerns, or simply those curious about town business, can access the videos with the aid of a basic Internet connection. Town officials say the YouTube channel keeps with a tradition of transparency started in the 1990s, when Moriah began recording meetings for broadcast on TV Channel 17. Like it has changed many other facets of life, technology has expanded our options for consuming media. It seems like a logical step for local governments to share their meetings online, but not all have been quick to embrace it. Elected officials in Moriah apparently recognize it can improve people’s ability to follow discussions about town ordinances, department briefings and a lot of other topics. Board member Luci Carpenter, who has overseen the process of uploading and organizing the proceedings, deserves special credit for the town’s effort. Many communities also record their proceedings to play on Channel 17. Others, including the town of Ticonderoga, have been airing meetings on YouTube for more than a year. Moriah and Ticonderoga have also set fine examples of transparency recently by effectively posting minutes of their board meetings. They are located in a clear and identifiable spot on their respective websites. Like YouTube, uploading minutes is a low cost and easy way to improve public trust in government. Both tasks can easily be done within a matter of days. Sometimes -- like earlier this month when Ticonderoga town board members abandoned plans for a police station project after public outcry -- it might run contrary to the short-term interests of some elected officials to let the public have such access to video and documents. Although it may cause some additional headaches and work for government officials in the short term, it’s hard to not see how making it standard practice to post minutes and video could do anything but improve the overall quality of government in the long term. The best politicians, we believe, recognize the value in putting more sunlight on their work. In making the investment of a few thousand dollars for recording equipment and prioritizing staff time to get video and minutes posted online, towns can demonstrate their commitment to transparency in the 21st century. The staff time spent producing and uploading minutes is a good use of resources -- we’re advocating for thorough, not exhaustive notes to be kept. If smaller towns are having difficulty financing this work, then officials should seek partnerships that could finance it.
While there’s no law requiring local governments to make their meeting minutes available online, there’s also no law preventing them from doing it. Robert Freeman, executive director of the New York State Committee on Open Government, encourages governments to “do the right thing” in favor of improving the public’s awareness of government activity. In today’s high-paced world, people increasingly count on being able to access reliable information online, Freeman said. “There are so many instances in which the law might not require taking a certain course of action, but taking that course of action is the right thing,” he said. Again, we commend towns in using YouTube -- but we expect nothing less. As New York State’s open meetings law clearly articulates, timely access to the work of public bodies is paramount to our sense of self government. “It is the only climate under which the commonweal will prosper and enable the governmental process to operate for the benefit of those who created it,” the law states.

Government Shutdown Must Be Avoided
“The North Country knows all too well the devastating effects that a government shutdown would have on our economy and our security,” writes Rep. Stefanik
T
he deadline on a funding bill is approaching soon. However, Congress and the President have yet to agree on a funding approach to keep the government from shutting down on Sept. 30. As many readers know, I ran for office against harmful government shut downs. I have voted ac-
cordingly during my time in Congress, voting against Members of my own party when the Department of Homeland Security was on the verge of shutting down. The reasons for my position are simple: Before I took office, the sixteen-day government shutdown in 2013 cost our economy an estimated $24 billion and stalled the creation of over 100,000 private sector jobs. It also imposed unacceptable delays in life-saving National Institutes of Health research studies and payment of veterans’ disability claims, cost over $500 million in lost revenue at our national parks and shut thousands of children out of Head Start programs. In short, the 2013 shutdown not only hurt Americans with the loss of important government services — it actually cost taxpayers more to close down the federal government than to keep it open. For these reasons, I cosponsored legislation to prevent Congress from breaking for August recess until the House of Representatives had reached an agreement on measures to keep our government fully funded. Had our resolution— H.Res.17, the “Stay on Schedule” Resolution— been adopted, Congress would have stayed in session this summer until our business was taken care of and we would have avoided unnecessary, last minute brinksmanship. The North Country knows all too well the devastating effects that a government shutdown would have on our economy and our security.
Our district is home to thousands of government employees, including border patrol agents who help keep our communities safe while promoting important commerce with our Canadian neighbors. In addition, we are the proud home of Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division, and in a time of increased deployment schedules and mounting international turmoil, it would be unconscionable for us to ask these brave men and women to serve in harm’s way without the promise of a paycheck. Please be assured, I will continue to oppose any government shutdown theatrics in Congress, and am leading an effort among my freshmen colleagues to urge our Republican conference to oppose a government shutdown. Like many others, I understand that there are serious issues that still need to be addressed; however, shutting down the government is an appalling strategy that does not in any way benefit our nation. I believe Congress should complete its work and provide funding for the federal government through the end of the next fiscal year. I will continue to vote in support of measures to keep our government open and will continue to urge my colleagues to do the same. North Country families — and families across this country — expect Congress to fulfill our responsibilities, avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, and live up to our commitment to work every day to help keep the American economy moving forward.

COMMENTARY
Little Bits Don’t capitalize autumn Gordie Little
Columnist
I
t snuck in like a thief in the night. It’s called autumn. No, you shouldn’t capitalize it unless it occurs at the beginning of a sentence. Jack Frost made an appearance a couple days earlier than the official time of 4:21 a.m. on September 23. As we were enjoying some of the best late summer weather in recent memory, the area meteorologists were tossing about what for some is a dirty word—frost. Last Sunday, after the cold front came through, official forecasts were telling us to expect it in parts of Franklin County as well as some locations in Vermont. I have friends who enjoy my social site description of our Saranac river bank weather each morning around 5 a.m. As I wrote this on Monday, September 21, the thermometer bottomed out at 42.7 degrees Fahrenheit. This Chicken Little opted to keep his steaming hot cup of coffee in the kitchen. Inside, it was 69 degrees, but I held fast and refused to crank up the thermostat. Let the sun take care of it for a few more days. Whether you marked it at your house or not, Wednesday morning saw the second equinox of the year. This one is defined as the time when it appears that the sun goes across the celestial equator from the north to the south. In our neck of the woods, it signals some below freezing temperatures at night and below 70 degrees during the day. Technically, equinox means “equal night and day.” Few can forget last winter with its bitter cold and snow. What does the coming winter portend? You pays your money and takes your choice. You can look at the wooly caterpillars. You can consult your Almanac and listen to the “expert” weather persons; or you can lick your finger and stick it in the wind. I’ve checked all of them. Here’s my totally unprofessional prediction: above average temperatures in October; same thing in November and December; about average or a little above usual in December, January and February. That’s probably wishful thinking. Some are saying we’ll have another cold winter with fairly typical snowfall. After last year’s winter, that would be welcome. I would be pleased to have less snow to challenge my snow blower and less bitter cold to challenge my furnace. But, I still have long underwear and heavy winter parkas, so I’ll be ready to face whatever comes along. I think it was Longfellow who told us to “wear the fur side, inside.” Good idea.

A
Guided Boat Tour A leisurely boat ride on Lake Champlain, the body of water ousted from the Great Lakes’ club, is the best way to learn its history. The Westport Marina is hosting a fall cruise Saturday, Oct. 3, aboard the Basin Harbor’s tour boat named the EScape. Passengers will begin boarding at 1:50 p.m. and the cruise ship will depart from the Westport Marina at 2 p.m. and return at 4. The cruise will take passengers south along the New York shoreline, past the homes dotting the steep embankment in Port Henry and will then turn around at the Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point to make its way north along the Vermont shoreline. Points of interest there will include Button Bay, Button Island and Basin Harbor before the boat heads back to the New York shoreline to pass along the breathtaking Palisades — a sheer cliff of rock that rises from the lake’s blue green water hundreds of feet into the sky. Westport Marina owner, Dee Carroll, said the mountain views should be spectacular. Previous trips have sold out early, and space is limited to 40 people, so Carroll encouraged those interested to make their reservations early by calling the marina prior to Sept. 30 at 962-4356. The cost for the trip is $20 per person.

URL not found Lack of official Essex town website stymies officials, residents By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ESSEX — What should be one of the most pedestrian aspects of local government — a municipal website containing the nuts and bolts of local governance — has emerged as a central campaign issue in Essex. Several candidates for town council, including an incumbent, have said the town needs to do a better job at communicating with residents while also becoming more transparent in the process. The issue reached a flashpoint at this month’s town board meeting when attendees expressed frustration at the perceived lack of information surrounding several controversial issues, including the ongoing water project and the pending sale of the Old Stone Church. The town does not have a functioning website. Both town officials and residents admit that this is a problem and hampers communication. What happened? WEBMASTER VANISHES For years, the town had a website: essexnewyork.com. The property was maintained by William Morgan, the town’s former information technology guy (and former clerk), on a volunteer basis. Morgan was paid hourly, according to town board meeting minutes, and worked without a contract. Over time, Morgan found it difficult to meet the state legal requirements for posting information in a timely manner, said former supervisor Sharon Boisen, who took office in 2010. As per state law, minutes of meetings of all public bodies must be made available to the public within two weeks. While the town provided information to Morgan, it was posted late, recalled Boisen. Sometimes not at all. An ad hoc website committee was formed to address how to meet the new legal requirements. In June 2010, according to meeting minutes, Boisen asked Morgan to prepare a contract for his services. Costs were adding up and were estimated to clock in at $1,800 by the end of the year — not including equipment and software. Boisen, who is running to regain the seat she lost to incum-
www.suncommunitynews.com
bent supervisor Ed Gardner in 2013, said despite repeated promises, Morgan made no further entries on the site. “After several months, he deleted all of the content, but refused to release the domain name,” wrote Boisen in an email. Repeated attempts to mitigate the problem were met with silence. It wasn’t until a trip to Morgan’s business, North Country Technology in Willsboro, that Boisen discovered that he had vanished along with the log-in info for the site. As the website hung in the balance, a new domain name, essexnewyork.org, was purchased on behalf of the town by a website committee member, Olive Alexander. To avoid web squatters taking control of the property, Alexander also purchased essexnewyork.com on behalf of the town once the domain came up for renewal. But the data could not be transferred over until officials could gain access. When Morgan rematerialized in January 2011, he agreed to grant officials access to the former site. The following month, the website committee reported that progress was being made on the transfer of information from the old domain to the new, essexnewyork.org. In November 2011, the board voted to authorize Boisen to sign an agreement for the town to take ownership of the .com domain. That ushered in an era of online stability. Once the data was transferred, Alexander maintained the town’s official site — both the .org and .com domain names redirected visitors to the same online property — throughout the remainder of Boisen’s term. In November 2013, while both domains remained in Alexander’s name, the town reimbursed her for the renewal of hosting the account for the period up until November 2014. CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP Following Boisen’s defeat by Gardner, Alexander resigned as volunteer webmaster effective Jan. 1, 2014. Alexander did, however, offer to serve in the interim period until a new webmaster was appointed. Alexander met with Gardner and informed the new supervisor that Morgan, who had been elected town clerk during that same election, would not be an appropriate webmaster based on previous experience and “other issues.” According to Pat Gardner, who now serves as town clerk, Morgan asked Alexander for log-in and password info, but was not granted that information. It was at this time when control of the website appeared to drift away from town control. Alexander continued to maintain the site, albeit with no participation from Morgan, whom Boisen said failed to be cooperative in providing meeting agendas, minutes, public

notices and other information. At the town’s March 2014 board meeting, the board voted to create a Facebook page as their official source of information, a measure that left the essexnewyork.com site and Alexander’s volunteer services no longer necessary, recalled Boisen. “Back in early 2014, I volunteered to continue doing the site,” wrote Alexander in an email. “But once the town resolved to use Facebook, I assumed my offer was refused.” Alexander said she was not notified of the town’s decision. But once she became aware, Alexander prorated the charges effective on the date of the resolution and returned the unused balance to the town. This made her the sole proprietor of the domain name essexnewyork.com, which she then voluntarily maintained and continued to update with unofficial meeting minutes and public notices. The town continued to keep the Facebook page active while also reaching out to George Davis, the local resident who runs the popular blog Essex on Lake Champlain. Davis informally agreed to dedicate a static page on his website to town business — an “institutional stop-gap,” as he called it — while also extending the invitation to help out whenever possible. In May 2015, Ed Gardner hired an attorney to request that Alexander turn over essexnewyork.com to the town, which she did in July. The page now sits empty. THE SITUATION NOW Alexander continues to maintain essexnewyork.org, which contains all of the information that was previously hosted on the essexnewyork.com site. Ed Gardner referred all website-related questions to his wife, Pat, who took office earlier this spring after Morgan was arrested on federal child porn charges. Pat expressed frustration that Alexander handed over the domain name without the actual content. As town clerk, said Pat, the best solution would have been for Alexander to turn over the website and all of its content as it was. “This is not what I was expecting,” said Pat. At a town meeting earlier this month, residents expressed frustration at the lack of online information. At present, the town does not have an information technology person to populate a new website, said Pat. Alexander said she has not reached out to anyone from the town, per the attorney’s request, nor has anyone contacted her >> Story Continued | pg. 12

“I have toured every one of the sites,” said Hochul. “I know that it’s an important part of the character of this area, what makes it unique, what draws people here, and we need to continue to make sure there is money available so they don’t fall into disrepair — that is our biggest fear.” NCREDC Co-Chair Tony Collins said while he was proud of the progress that the council has made so far — the North Country group bested its statewide competitors in all but one of the four years — the URI poses a unique set of challenges, Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul (center) listens as namely locking down matching pri- Larry Johnson, former chief operations officer for the Trudeau Institute, points out nearby geographical feavate investment. tures on Wednesday, Sept. 16. Assemblywoman Janet For each dollar the state invests, at Duprey is pictured at right. least five private dollars are typically Photo by Pete DeMola required as a match. If awarded one of the $500 million pots, the region would need a total $2.5 billion in private investment over five years. “That’s a little intimidating for us folks where there are more cows than people in the North Country,” said Collins. Collins, who serves as the president of Clarkson University, said conditions in the region, including remoteness, post a unique set of challenges, perhaps the most challenging in the state. Job retention is just as important as job creation, he noted. “We do believe in this region that it’s not about winning the money, it’s about developing a strategy,” said Collins. The council netted $63.4 million last year, bringing total state investment to $317 million as part of the program. Past priority projects have including funding for a new Agri-Mark Manufacturing Facility, renovations to the Hotel Saranac in Saranac Lake and the creation of the Wild Walk at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake. Douglas said these and other priority projects continue to be on track. The report containing the final of projects will be submitted on Monday, said NCREDC Co-Chair Garry Douglas, while the URI report will be submitted on Oct. 5. Once submitted, the projects will be made public. Winners are expected to be announced by the end of December. Collins said he was optimistic. “We’re expecting to win, so we haven’t got a Plan B,” he said. Hochul also toured the Trudeau Institute in Saranac Lake as part of her swing through the region. At one point, she popped into a classroom where a group of biomedical scholars from Clarkson University were studying vaccinations. “Come up with the next great cure,” Hochul said. “We’re counting on you.”
Now, the end is in sight. Earlier this year, the seniors found a new home at the Reber United Methodist Church. A public hearing has been for Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. as the town explores selling it to Rick Dalton, President and CEO of College for Every Student, for $90,000. Appraised at $86,000, the steepleless structure, which contains 45 feet of road frontage, is assessed at $162,900. Like all other buildings in the hamlet, the church is included in the National Register of Historic Places. Dalton addressed the town board in May 2012 and expressed his interest in purchasing the church, which sits on about a half-acre that abuts the Essex Inn, a building he also owns. The property contains a strange encroachment on Dalton’s Essex Inn property which has virtually eliminated all other potential buyers. The Essex Inn technically owns the Old Stone Church’s back staircase, which is physically connected to the building. It’s a perplexing encroachment that was noted in a 1983 survey of the property and one that appears by deed as far back as 1837. The town ran their options past legal experts. One option was to extinguish the encroachment by adverse possession.

Prisons, though he can request a certain federal penitentiary, said Stueve. It’s also unclear how much Morgan will ultimately be required to pay in restitution costs, which are mandatory for child pornography production cases. The prosecution has recommended a restitution date be set for a later date as more victims continue to be identified. Three co-defendants are also scheduled to be sentenced within the next three months and it remains to be seen how the court will divvy up the responsibility between the defendants based on their economic circumstances.

Another would have been for the town to enter into a boundary line adjustment with the Essex Inn to cure the alleged defect. Neither have happened. Town Supervisor Ed Gardner said it is in the town’s best interest to simply sell the property to Dalton because the cost of legal fees to hash out the issue may end up being greater than the sale price. Plus the town needs the funds, he said, especially in the wake of the two percent tax cap. Maintenance and utility costs are also continuing to stack up, said Gardner. Despite the encroachment issue dashing plans to put the property out to bid, by no means was it a backdoor deal, said Gardner. Nor is it a done one, said town officials at a board meeting earlier this month that ignited a rapid fire exchange with the audience. The public hearing is simply intended to broadcast the town’s intent to sell, stressed officials. “We’re not voting to sell Old Stone Church to John Dalton,” said Councilwoman Claire LaPine, using the name of Dalton’s brother. “All of this will be brought up again on Sept. 29.” “We’re going to have a public hearing,” said Councilman James LaForest. “Who knows what’s going to happen?” Dalton did not respond to emails seeking comment. Right now, the court has restitution requests from just two victims: One requested $65; the other, $13,090. In all, six others have been charged in connection with the ring, which reached as far as South Africa. To date, 122 child victims have been identified. Prosecutors say that number could reach as high as 1,000. While three have plead guilty to similar charges — Carl Zwengel, of Princeton, Illinois; Milton Smith, Jr., of Lorton, Virginia and Christopher McNevin, of Carlisle, Ohio — a trial for the remaining defendants that was originally scheduled for Sept. 8 has been removed from the docket.

in reference to donating her website’s content to the town for official use. “I would be happy to help them program their site or to create a link to essexnewyork.org,” said Alexander. Davis also said he would be happy to work with the town to provide a useful platform to facilitate the discussion with the public. If elected, Boisen said she would hope to use essexnewyork.
com as the town’s official website. “It is the most cost effective to use the domain name currently owned by the town,” said Boisen. Boisen, who administers a Facebook page dedicated to governmental openness, Essex New York WatchBird, said transparency and full disclosure are of great importance to her and the public. “I look forward to having dialogue with the board to determine how best to disseminate information to the public and meet legal requirements with regard to the town website,” said Boisen.
