County to start collecting occupancy tax from Airbnb Online vacation rental marketplace has been making inroads in Essex County

ELIZABETHTOWN — County officials have inked a deal with a popular online vacation rental marketplace to collect occupancy tax.

Airbnb will start collecting the 3 percent tax in Essex County on Oct. 1.

The popular marketplace, headquartered in San Francisco,

As he navigates the storm over a controversial program on his home turf, Chris Louras offers local leaders some tips from the trenches KEESEVILLE — The outcry over Syrian refugees has shaped much of Rutland’s discourse this summer.

The dispute over whether to accept 100 refugees has cleaved the city, pitting Mayor Chris Louras against constituents, city alPete dermen and other elected officials.

DeMola Editor As the five-term mayor waits for the Department of State to sign off on the expansion of the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program into his city — a roadblock thrown up by peeved aldermen — Louras ventured to New York last week, where he briefed local leaders on his push to make the state’s third-largest city a host for escapees of the war-torn nation.

A decision may come as soon as 10 days, he said, with the first family arriving as early as December.

Bringing refugees into the city, he said, goes hand-in-hand with urban revitalization efforts.

with each new census. Vacant housing poses an ongoing threat, and jobs are going unfilled due to their undesirability, the mayor said.

“We’ve got a population problem, and we need to turn that around,” Louras said. “We are driving forward because it is the key to our future.”

But the road to get here wasn’t easy. The mayor has come under fire for a perceived lack of transparency. Earlier this summer, city aldermen asked the department of state to examine the issue. A former political opponent also circulated a petition, which was nixed, asking the issue be brought to a vote.

Louras admitted he could have been more open.

KEESEVILLE — Some of the region’s leading thinkers gathered in a drafty stone mill along the Ausable River last week to ponder a fundamental question: How to unpack the secrets of successful communities?

Why are some downtowns bustling, while others are lined with empty storefronts? What makes some communities a nexus of the local food movement? And how, exactly, did a remote town along the Canadian border transform a decrepit industrial waterfront into a boutique hotel?

Answer: It varies.

Some of the officials underpinning these changes attempted to offer a crash course to their counterparts at the event, the annual meeting of the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA), a nonprofit tasked with jumpstarting rural economies across a 14-county swath.

The group has a track record of success since its formation

Vote Eisenhower? Signs intended to spark discussion, says Woolf “I think both parties prioritize party over national policy and long-term stability,” says Aaron Woolf, who ran for Congress in 2014

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — A staple of election years, campaign signs are everywhere.

Sprouting with the springtime thaw, the multi-hued signs blossom in summer and reach their peak in mid-autumn.

They’re everywhere — on roadside shoulders, private lawns and public right-of-ways.

A cluster materialized on the lawn of the Deer’s Head Inn in August: Henry Clay, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Teddy Roosevelt.

If none of those names seem familiar this election cycle, it’s because the most recent politician left office over a halfcentury ago.

Public prank or performance art? Something else?

“It was meant to be gently provocative,” said Aaron Woolf, the inn’s coproprietor. “In some ways, it’s an act of political art or conceptual art.”

Woolf, of course, took a run at Congress as a Democrat in 2014, losing to Elise Stefanik, a Republican.

For the Elizabethtown resident, the signs occupying the town’s heavily-trafficked main drag are intended to spark a public discussion on three national leaders who embodied a value he said is no longer seen in politics in today’s “myopic, quick-fix mindset,” where politicians are more focused on reelection than crafting durable policy.

“Each of them, in a way, did something we almost never see in today’s political leaders, which is to prioritize projects that would lead to long-term growth that would not only be completed in their term of office, but in their lifetime,” said Woolf.

The restaurateur and filmmaker is a self-professed infrastructure buff. Two years after his campaign, he said he still feels strongly about these issues, and is able to recall a constellation of policy points in wonkish detail.

So who were these guys?

Clay, a former senator and House Speaker, shaped the young nation in the early-19th century by proposing a system of infrastructure investments between states.

Known as the American System, this national infrastructure plan would aid in facilitating international commerce.

Access to credit and tariffs for nascent industries would position the young nation at the front of the pack, Woolf said.

“What’s more conservative than conservation?” screams another — replete with three question marks.

As the country commemorates the centennial of the National Park System this year, Woolf said it was important to remember its creator: Roosevelt, the nation’s 26th president, avid outdoorsman and famed Adirondack explorer.

The native New Yorker, said Woolf, realized the value in creation of what we now know as “natural capital.”

“We’re at a point here in the Adirondack Park where we’re just beginning to see what some of investments in conservation may bring us economically,” Woolf said.

And Eisenhower, the World War II general who ushered the country through the 1950s during his two terms as president, was responsible for the Interstate Highway system, which Woolf called “single-biggest economic driver of the 20th century.”

The legislation was passed by a bipartisan Congress.

“Think about today’s Congress,” Woolf said. “They’re the least productive in the history of the United States with bills brought forth. Think about a bipartisan Congress with the leadership of a president who is investing in something that would not only be completed in their terms of office, but in many times, in their lifetime.

Three leaders, three different parties — and not a Democrat in the bunch.

Woolf was quick to point out the signs are not an riposte against any one political party — or even his former opponent, who carved out a 20-point victory in a campaign that garnered national attention — but rather of an indictment of the political system as a whole.

“This is not a partisan idea,” Woolf said. “But I think that one of the things that’s afflicting us both as a political culture and a culture at large is an epidemic of short-term thinking.”

The tavern, which Woolf reopened earlier this summer with a local doctor, aims to be a nexus of discussion.

“We want to be a wonderful non-partisan — or multipartisan — civic institution,” Woolf said. “This is not about any particular politics in today’s race, but it was more like: ‘Let’s figure out a filter through which we can evaluate today’s politicians.’”

Woolf said he plans on continuing to be a part of the national conversation. For more info, visit carpemillennium. com.

Stefanik, of Willsboro, faces opposition this year from Democrat Mike Derrick and Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello.

Voters head to the polls on Nov. 8.

Above: “I think the definition of leadership should be the ability of leaders to prioritize long-term investment over short-term gains,” says Aaron Woolf, the former congressional candidate who planted the above political campaign signs at his restaurant in Elizabethtown.

J. Hall appeals U.S. Bankruptcy Court decision Former Westport Golf Course owner, Golf Pro John Hall says state Supreme Court case is moving forward

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

WESTPORT — John Hall, owner of Westport Golf Investors LLC, is appealing last week’s Northern District of New York, U.S. Bankruptcy Court decision to convey Westport Golf Course to his siblings, Robert Hall and Leslie HallButzer.

In a telephone interview with the Sun, John Hall said the pending sale for $60,000 was being written.

“The appeal is being filed today or tomorrow, but has to be filed by Friday,” he said by phone from Wisconsin on Monday.

“The town has every right to be not only a little apprehensive about ownership by Consolidated Mortgage, but I would suggest they be very apprehensive.”

Hall is embroiled in two levels of court proceedings that have become intertwined over much of the past two years.

Beyond the federal bankruptcy proceeding, John Hall won two rounds in New York Supreme Court, challenging legality of the 2014 takeover by Consolidated, which was established by his brother and sister.

“Consolidated Mortgage purchased the mortgage from First Niagara totally illegally,” he explained of his state Supreme Court case.

“They went in and tried to steal the equity of the other 70 percent of the members.

“Well, they didn’t succeed. Two judges have ruled against them, citing fraud, oppressive conduct, self-serving actions, and violation of their fiduciary obligations as shareholders in the Westport Golf Investors LLC.” John Hall said the move against the investors was an attempt at an inside takeover.

“And they tried to reap 100 percent of the Golf Course to themselves. They appealed the first (Supreme Court) decision and lost the initial appeal. They appealed the second time and the judge threw it out.”

The Supreme Court is awaiting a deposition from Robert and Leslie Hall, he said.

“They were given 30 days to respond to requests for deposition.

It will come to (Supreme Court) Judge (Glen T.) Bruenig ordering them to deposition and an ensuing trial.”

Legally, Hall said, the Bankruptcy decision does not trump state court.

“The bankruptcy court judge does not have the authority to overrule the New York Appellate Court, and that’s what he did.”

The ongoing cases have brought operations at the golf course to a bare minimum, the former owner said.

And John Hall said he recognizes the property’s role in a vital Westport economy.

“I am very sensitive to the people of Westport. We had many galas and weddings and fundraising events there, upwards of 16 a year. To see the actions of these two individuals is unbelievable.”

John Hall also defended his effort to keep taxes current even as he filed for Chapter 11 restructuring.

“I did pay taxes on the property for 9 or 10 months during bankruptcy. It wasn’t the bankruptcy that stopped me from paying taxes, it was the Chapter 7 declaration when the checkbook went into the hands of the Trustee. After that, no bills were paid; no Essex County IDA loans were paid; no taxes were paid. I was current until May 1 of 2015.”

The property is $157,133.18 behind in tax payments.

The ensuing two seasons of underuse have hurt course operations, Hall said.

“The people and business in the Town of Westport have chiefly suffered. Tourism traffic is diminished and it’s really too bad. I do have a big place in my heart for that place. But I had no control over it. I was forced out by these two bullies.”

John Hall said his company, Golf Course Investors LLC, offered to settle with Consolidated Mortgage, but were refused to on two separate occasions.

“Their position is ‘We get everything, nobody else gets anything.’ That’s their offer. I want that course to be successful. It’s a beautiful place. It can’t sit there the way it is.”

In outlining his side of the legal story, John Hall alleged that Consolidated Mortgage would be held accountable should he prevail at state Supreme Court trial.

“The Bankruptcy Court put the property for sale at $60,000 despite the last appraisal of $1.9 million. Consolidated Mortgage will be liable for the difference between those two figures in the state court, once they are ordered to stand trial.”

Litigation is not productive for the Westport Golf Course, John Hall said.

“The more it goes on, the more taxes accrue. It could go on for years, unless there’s a settlement.”

Rob Hall attorney Louis Maione could not be immediately reached for comment.

Area residents remember ‘Doc’ Goff Historians collecting stories, memories and funds to place commemorative plaque at Marcy Field in Keene Valley

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County and Keene historians are gathering recollections of the life and work of longtime country doctor, Dr. Alphonzo “Doc” Goff.

Reminiscence filled the boardroom at University of Vermont Health Network, Elizabethtown Community Hospital for hours on a recent Sunday afternoon.

Historian Maggie Bartley, a trustee of the Adirondack History Center Museum, shared research she’s completed on Doc Goff ’s upbringing, early education, adventures and the vivid — if not downright colorful — presence he brought for more than 60 years to homes, hospitals and clinics around the county.

In Keene, local historian (and former patient) Donna Reed Austin is collecting important papers and memorabilia from Dr. Goff ’s life. The items, kept at Keene Valley Library, already include the skull cap he wore while flying airplanes and his black doctor’s bag, complete with pill and prescription bottles.

“His territory was all around Essex County,” Austin said.

“And he always had a gun in his Jeep, in case he saw a deer.”

Many of the 20 or so residents attending the lecture chuckled, nodding at mention of this fact.

“Well, I don’t believe that, do you?” one gentleman said, turning a sly grin to Lew “Bud” Egglefield.

“I do,” Bud said, raising a wise eyebrow.

Of course Goff ’s all-season hunting wasn’t “jacking deer” then.

Others remember the doctor firing at game from an airplane and his racetrack-worthy driving style.

Egglefield recalled a story about how once Goff was stopped for driving fast by a state trooper, who asked if he had a pilot’s license.

At that point, Egglefield said, the country doctor presented the officer with the document.

Bartley created a slideshow presentation touching on important facts she’s found about Goff ’s life and she shared the show for the first time at ECH. The genealogical and documented research scrolled through his birth, education and military records. Written and oral documents are being gathered to complete the record.

Bartley has unearthed several old photographs of the doctor’s father’s (Goff) family homestead at the foot of Poke-OMoonshine Mountain in Lewis.

His grandfather, Orin Goff, built the farm there, which was destroyed by fire in 1946.

Doc Goff ’s parents met soon after his mother, Alice Rand, started working as a schoolteacher at Poke-O-Moonshine, Bartley said.

But his father, William Goff, separated and divorced his mother not long soon after their only child was born.

“We do not know what happened,” Bartley said.

Doc’s father, according to historic records, only saw his son twice: once while peering through a window soon after he was born; the second time as Doc attended to his dying father.

In those days, Bartley pointed out, being a single mother and a working mom was unusual.

And Bartley does have notes from an oral interview done years ago that might provide a clue, drawing from a conversation Lew “Bud” Egglefield wrote down some of his memories at a recent history lecture, presentwith centenarian of the Coonrod family, ed by Maggie Bartley, on the life and work of Dr. Alphonzo “Doc” Goff, who practiced through Celia Cross Coonrod, who lived to be 104. the 1970s and founded the hospital in Keene, now the Neighborhood House.

Childhood cancer nonprofit aims to expand service area

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Riley James Louis Knight was a rambunctious young prankster. He liked sports, shamrocks, animals — especially his dog, Kia — and spending time outdoors.

But most of all, he had a penchant for volunteerism.

“He was always helping somebody else,” said Ann Knight, his mother.

Riley was given nine months to live in August 2010 after doctors discovered a brain tumor.

Six months to the day after being diagnosed with the brain stem glioma, he passed away.

He was two months shy of his 12th birthday.

As he fought for his life, the Ticonderoga Central student never stopped putting others first, including sharing gifts with his fellow patients during the holiday season.

“Riley knew he was going to pass, and his wish was to help other sick children at Christmas,” said Ann. “He wanted to do that for other people, that’s what he wanted to do.”

Ann now hopes to pay it forward with Rileys Wishes, a nonprofit established to keep her son’s legacy alive by helping the families of children between ages 3 and 18 who are fighting lifethreatening illnesses — particularly during the holiday season, which Riley adored.

Since their formation, the group has raised $4,000 through events like raffles, food drives, bake sales, and soda can tab collection drives.

The next event is Oct. 1 at the American Le-

gion.

Rileys Wishes also organizes a dinner each year at the Ronald McDonald House in Burlington, VT, whose services the family used while Riley was receiving treatment.

Among their biggest successes is $1,200 raised to aid in home renovations for a local girl afflicted with cancer.

The group has also worked with Tiny Tim’s Foundation for Kids and Friends Comforting Friends, another nonprofit designed to aid young cancer patients.

Now Rileys Wishes wants to expand their outreach past their current footprint of southern Essex County, Hague and Putnam.

“We can give kids more wishes at Christmas time,” Ann said. “This is giving me a focus and I’m keeping his memory alive.”

Donations generated during events will be put toward food costs, gift and gas cards, which the group often contributes to other fundraisers.

Families in need, regardless of location, are encouraged to reach out to determine their eligibility.

The next fundraising event, a Paint & Sip, is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 1 at the American Legion in Ticonderoga.

Would Riley be proud?

“Oh yes,” Ann said. “If this was another organization, and he was here, he’d so want to be a part of it.”

For more information, and to get involved, visit rileyswishes.com or find them on Facebook.

Rileys Wishes, a nonprofit to help cancer victims and their families, is expanding their outreach. The nonprofit was formed following the death of Ticonderoga resident Riley Knight in 2011. “He was my monkey,” said Ann Knight. “He was always climbing over stuff.”

Freedom is not a choice

everal weeks ago I wrote about freedom being a choice.

After attending the SPARCC Community Forum on Substance Abuse last week in Plattsburgh I need to qualify that thought.

SPARCC is short for the Substance Abuse Prevention and Recovery of Clinton County, a coalition of agencies who have joined together in this battle.

For an alarming number among us freedom is not a choice. One poor choice by a child or an adult can leave a person trapped by the seductive power these drugs are designed to create.

Addictions that effect ones behavior was once thought of as mind over matter. Willpower, strong motivation, and a supporting cast around you was all one really needed to overcome an addicted behavior.

Today, through medical research of the brain, we know and understand how substance abuse alters the brain’s ability to freely decide, making it a need and no longer a choice.

Micheal Nerney, of Long Lake, is a consultant in substance abuse prevention and education with 37 years of experience in the field. Last week at the Strand Theater he, along with others who deal with addressing this growing crisis, provided a presentation in the debilitating affects of this disease.

Nerney’s area of expertise includes psychopharmacology, adolescent chemical dependency, relapse prevention heroin, prescription opiate addiction, as well as gender differences in communication and managing violent incidents.

This was an eye opening session into a world I had little to no experience encountering. I walked away wondering how I and those close to me were ever lucky enough to avoid this deadly trap; that once in its clutches will continue to alter the way your brain functions.

Through modern day research of the brain experts now understand so much more about how the receptors in the brain function and how they differ from male to female. Drug traffickers, through trial and error, concoct chemicals that render the body’s defenses helpless.

The lure of these cheap drugs combined with the stress for even the very young in today’s ever evolving society places us all at risk to feel the affects of this ever growing problem.

We all must become educated about what’s happening and join in this battle before future generations are lost to this deadly disease. For more information visit: www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/heroin or a local substance abuse organization near you.

Trust me, even if this substance abuse issue hasn’t affected you or your family, it’s only a matter of time until it does. Education and a complete understanding of what is taking place is our best defense.

New group offers chance at balanced land use debate — now don’t blow it

A

s we head into autumn, the first Adirondack Park Agency public hearings to determine the classification for the Boreas Ponds and Macintyre Tracts are right around the corner.

The first is scheduled for Nov. 9.

These hearings will determine the use of the parcels purchased by the state from the Nature Conservancy this past spring.

By now, the contours are well known: A kaleidoscope of groups have offered their proposals for how the central Adirondack parcels, the last in a planned state acquisition of some 69,000 acres once owned by a timber company, should be used.

Green groups are calling for more restricted public access to protect what is frequently referred to as an “ecological jewel” from human impact.

Local governments are calling for more access, a measure they say will buoy local economies which continue to be touch-and-go.

Sportsmen, too, are advocating for access, citing statistics that show an aging population.

The debate will surely sharpen once the hearings get underway. So will the campaigns designed to steer and shape public opinion.

Several are already underway, including a pro-Wilderness campaign featuring a famous actress who is a seasonal resident here.

We’ve said for a long time that these glossy, celebri- Gov.

ENDORSEMENT POLICY

s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-

dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75.

A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

OnÊ PortÊ HenryÊ dissolution:Ê payingÊ moreÊ forÊ lessÊ service To the Editor: Regarding the article on the dissolution of the village of Port Henry creating a Moriah town budget chaos: weren’t the people assured that there would be no increases in town taxes? Now there’s a problem? Couldn’t this have been foreseen beforehand?

“Dissolve the Village... The time has come... It’s the way of the future... Be a team player.” All these cliches were used to promote dissolution. I predict that in a few years, we will be paying more in taxes than before dissolution and will be receiving far fewer services.

Pay more for less service. Welcome to the way of the future! Remember those responsible for this change and enjoy being a team payer (I mean, player).

Joseph Baker Port Henry

AllegationsÊ againstÊ ClintonÊ Ô borderÊ onÊ theÊ absurdÕ To the Editor: Mr. Windle should not be concerned with my age. I was the President of the AuSable Valley Taxpayers Association and was instrumental in saving the district $548,000. I am the President of the North Country ItalianAmerican club, Vice President of our local Home Owners Association (also Architectural Chair), Treasurer of our Masonic organization. I golf regularly and I still ski Whiteface. I have been politically active since Franklin Roosevelt was president nearly 70 years ago. I am not ready for the rocking chair yet.

About your misinformation about Hillary Clinton: The reason this is a story is the potential that there was some quid pro quo involved: that in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation and/or the speech Bill Clinton gave in Russia, Hillary Clinton used her position as Secretary of State to make approval of this sale happen. It need not be explicit, but at the very least there has to be a connection between donations and official action that Clinton took. There was no “quid pro quo.”

What’s the evidence for that allegation? There isn’t any, at least not yet.

The only evidence is timing: people who would benefit from the sale made donations to the foundation at around the same time the matter was before the government.

What’s the evidence in Clinton’s favor? Even if Clinton had wanted to make sure the sale was approved, it wouldn’t have been possible for her to do it on her own. CFIUS is made up of not only the secretary of state, but also the secretaries of the U.S. Treasury, Department of Justice, Homeland Security, Commerce, Defense, and Energy, as well as the heads of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

The Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Labor are nonvoting members, and CFIUS’s work is also observed by representatives of other agencies like the National Security Council and the Office of Management and Budget. The idea that Clinton could have convinced all those officials and all those departments to change their position on the sale, even if she had wanted to, borders on the absurd.

Furthermore, the official who was the State Department’s representative on CFIUS at the time, Jose Hernandez, told Time magazine that Clinton did not participate in the evaluation of this deal: “Secretary Clinton never intervened with me on any CFIUS matter,” he said.

Mr. Windle, please get the facts straight, and oh by the way, AMERICA IS GREAT. Joe DeMarco Jay

TreasurerÊ setsÊ recordÊ straight To the Editor: I read with interest the most recent letter from William Kuntz about Essex County [�Essex County could face bankruptcy if unable to service debt,�

by William Kuntz, Sept. 17 edition of The Sun] potentially facing bankruptcy if it is unable to service its debt. He made several comments that I feel need to be refuted.

First, he stated that “nobody seems to know just why the county needs to search titles of lands that have been owned and taxed for decades.”

I assume he is talking about title searches relative to the foreclosure process that the county is required to do by law under New York State Real Property Tax Laws. I would suggest he look at Article 11 of Real Property Tax Law, entitled “Procedures For Enforcement of Collection of Delinquent Taxes.” He should then turn to Title 3, Section 1125 to read how the county is required by law to notify owners of properties and all other parties who have registered an interest in any property for which a foreclosure action is commencing.

He goes on to state that “perhaps someone might call the Columbia County Treasurer and ask why Columbia County charges almost $400 per parcel and track down the state law that allows all this absurdity.”

So I called the Columbia County Treasurer and verified that Columbia County actually charges $450 per parcel. By the way, Essex County charges $150 per parcel for the title searches required by law. If Mr. Kuntz cares to, he can then look at Real Property Tax Law Article 11, Title 1, Section 1102 to read that a charge of up to $150 is allowed for title searches and that more than that can be charged if approved by a New York court.

Mr. Kuntz then states that somehow I get to determine the interest and penalty rates on taxes that are not paid within the interest free period set by law.

I do not get to “charge credit card rates” as he so states. I must follow the laws in that regard. Again, if he cares to look, he can find that those rates

COMMENTARY are set by New York State, not by the county treasurer. The interest rate of 1 percent per month has not changed since 1983, and the penalty rate of 5 percent is set by Real Property Tax Law Article 9, Title 3, Section 936.

Referring to the radio system put into place by the county, he infers that that was “some clever back room financing” that became “a windfall for some local bankers.”

Mr. Kuntz could not be further from the truth in that regard. Essex County financed $9.72 million in Public Improvement Serial Bonds through a public notice of sale. The bonds were purchased by Roosevelt & Cross, Inc. and Associates, one of the most reputable municipal bond brokers in the world. They have been in business for over 70 years, and are by no means “local bankers.” Not exactly clever backroom financing, is it Mr. Kuntz?

Finally, Mr. Kuntz refers to “the many defective tax sales over the last two decades.” I am in my 22nd year as county treasurer, so I have been here for all of those two decades. If Mr. Kuntz has specific evidence of these “many defective tax sales,” he should state the specifics, rather than deal in innuendos, insinuations, and simply wrong statements!

Michael G. Diskin Essex County Treasurer Elizabethtown

RailroadÊ trackÊ removal To the Editor: A ray of hope?

This could be good news. Perhaps it’s a sign that someone has put their thinking cap on? It is hard to believe that New York State wants to put two enterprises out of business (the LP tourist trains and the Railbikes) and rip up a viable rail corridor all for the sake of yet another trail through the mountains.

Is this really a fight for a trail? Or is it a fight against the railroad?

It’s certainly not a fight based on economics. The Railbikes are booming, folks are riding the LP trains and the state is getting revenue from the line.

Destroying this for more hiking is worth the effort? Really? It’s not even about snowmobiling, as they get to use the line in the winter already. So really, another hiking trail versus active enterprises and the only rail transportation link left to SL and LP? Something doesn’t add up.

Essex County will begin collecting occupancy tax from Airbnb, an online vacation rental marketplace, on Oct. 1.

Occupancy Tax

From page 1

“I think we’ll hit that number, but for the calendar year 2016, that’s a high projection,” said Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism CEO James McKenna.

As of July 1, there were 280 registered Airbnb hosts in Essex County — up more than 50 percent over the last year, according to the agency.

The results from these units, previously uncollected, will start trickling in next month.

“Preliminary numbers from the Smith Travel Report suggest that with some exceptions, this summer has been strong overall,” said Kim Rielly, ROOST’s communications director. “In fact, this August was most likely the best month of all since we’ve tracking data.”

Total occupancy tax numbers will be in by December, Rielly said.

SHAKY PICTURE Other online rental platforms, including Vacation Rentals by Owner and Homeaway, do not automatically collect the fee, Diskin said, and renters of those units must self-report.

“I think Airbnb is starting to realize they’re getting into more and more good graces,” Diskin said.

The revenue will be a welcome boost for the county, which has been impacted by the sustained freefall in gas prices.

Essex County has lost $171,857 in motor fuel tax this year to date, Diskin reported to county lawmakers last week.

If not for that plummet, the county would be up $134,000 over last year.

“Overall, we’re doing good on sales tax aside from motor fuel,” said Diskin.

Trump and Skittles Killed by a refugee?

John L. Micek Columnist

Y

ou know what the great thing about Skittles is?

You can never eat just one. They’re just that tasty.

So on behalf of fruit-flavored candy addicts everywhere - not to mention the huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, I plan to enjoy a bag of that childhood favorite just as soon as I finish thanking Donald Trump Jr. for the spectacularly dense thing he said on Twitter.

In case you missed it (and it’s hard to imagine how that happened), here it is: “If I had a bowl of Skittles and I told you just three would kill you, would you take a handful,” the scion of the Trump empire mused. “That’s our Syrian refugee problem.”

Then he added, just for good measure, “This image says it all. Let’s end the politically correct agenda that doesn’t put America first.”

There are a number of things wrong with Trump’s assertion mainly that you possibly face a greater risk of choking to death on a Skittle (which is already astronomical) than you do of dying at the hands of a refugee.

According to a report by the Libertarian Cato Institute released last week, your risk of being killed by a refugee is a truly insane 1 in 3.64 billion.

That’s billion. With a “buh.”

By comparison, your risk of being killed by a foreigner on a tourist visa is 1 in 3.9 million. You know who came into the country on tourist visas and killed a bunch of Americans?

That would be the 9/11 hijackers, who largely entered the country on tourist and business visas, laid in wait, and then perpetrated catastrophic attacks that claimed nearly 3,000 American lives.

It is, in fact, much harder for a refugee to gain entrance to the United States than it is someone seeking entrance on a tourist or business visa.

As The Week, and other sources have reported, it actually takes up to two years for a refugee to gain entrance to the United States. And no matter what Trump tells you, the vetting process is a complicated one.

It’s also important to note one really other important thing about refugees: They’re fleeing, amid great hardship and at tremendous personal risk, to avoid being killed in a horrible war back home or to escape some other tremendously dangerous situation.

Vigilance is important, and yes, if you see something, you should say something.

But, again, your odds of being killed in a terrorist attack or by a refugee remain astonishingly low.

The Washington Post crunched the numbers a while back, and concluded Americans are, among other things, 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease; nine times more likely to choke to death on their own vomit; 404 times more likely to die in a fall and 13 times more likely to die in a railway accident.

Put another way, your chances of dying like Jimi Hendrix (choking on your own vomit), while suffering from heart disease while falling off a ladder strategically positioned over a railroad track are better than your chances of dying in a terrorist attack — let alone one perpetrated by a refugee.

So have another Skittle.

ETS announces talent awards for 2016 All-stars in professional, industrial and administrative divisions receive recognition

Talent of the Year Industrial Award Winners: Debra Troutman & Jennifer Sylvester

Talent of the Year Administrative/Office Award Winner: Melinda Babbie

PLATTSBURGH — ETS announced the First Annual 2016 Talent of the Year Award winners on Sept. 27.

Winners include George Normann, Jennifer Sylvester, Debra Troutman and Melinda Babbie.

This announcement marks the beginning of National Staffing Employee Week, Sept. 19-23.

The week, established by the American Staffing Association, honors the contributions of the millions of employees working for U.S. staffing firms in support of businesses and the nation’s economy every workday.

ETS’ Talent of the Year Awards honor individuals who are outstanding performers and exemplify the promise of staffing excellency. To be considered for recognition, candidates must have been staffed through ETS sometime since September 2015.

Debra Troutman, a Logistics Support Specialist at A.N. Deringer, came to work for the company as a warehouse worker in September 2013.

As Troutman began to prove her dedication and manufacturing knowledge, her duties and responsibilities grew and she quickly transitioned to her current role in October 2013. She chose ETS to get her name and skills in front of a variety of employers.

“There are so many local businesses that you do not think of when searching for a job and when you do find one,” she said.

“Sometimes it’s a challenge to get a chance to showcase your talents before they turn you away. ETS was a good fit for me personality-wise and easy to work with: they allowed employers to see what I could offer.”

Taking into consideration Troutman’s extensive background working the warehouse floor and in manufacturing, ETS was able to place her at a business that fit her personality and met her needs.

“ETS was quick to search for a business that would be a good fit for me, as well as what I had needed in regards to locality and hours. They gave me the opportunity to work for a business that I could see a future with.”

Troutman’s outstanding organizational skills and multitasking abilities make her a vital and standout member of the team.

When Jennifer Sylvester’s friend recommended that she should apply at ETS for a warehouse position she was skeptical at first.

“I guess you could say I was old school and believed companies should hire on the spot,” Sylvester said. “However, it was a great move and I’m happy that ETS was able to help me. Working with a staffing firm gives the employer time to figure out if you are right for the job and the employee time to figure out if this is where they want to be.”

After starting through ETS as a Pick Pack Associate at A.N. Deringer in June 2014, Sylvester has not only gained more responsibilities, but has transitioned onto their payroll as a Freight Handler. When asked what she liked best about working in the industrial field, Sylvester said: “Not sitting still and always being busy, I also like being able to float between different areas when needed.”

Sylvester’s dedication, going above and beyond the call of duty, is an integral part of maintaining the efficient and effective operations of the facility.

After moving back to the North Country in November 2015, Melinda Babbie partnered with ETS to gain exposure to a wide variety of companies and job opportunities.

“I hoped that ETS’ great reputation within the community would help to achieve my goals after moving back to the area with my husband,” Babbie said. “I felt like ETS took on the role of being my personal agent. If I ever needed anything, they were always there for me.”

Babbie now works as an Administrative Assistant at Mountain Lake PBS, where she was placed through ETS in May 2016. By Jily, she was permanently rolled to their payroll.

Babbie’s dynamic background as an accounting clerk, computer operator and in real estate, along with her punctuality, dependability and work ethic, has made her an early standout in this position.

“I find the administrative field to be very rewarding while performing a wide range of duties to ensure the efficient dayto-day operations of the office, along with support work to management and other staff members,” Babbie said.

Her keen attention to detail and contagious energy have taken her career and office into high gear.

Talent of the Year Professional Award Winner: George Normann (Pictured on front) Equipped with a degree in Materials Science from MIT, George Normann worked in the aerospace field in engineering, manufacturing and quality positions for over 20 years before deciding to call his go-to vacation spot, the Adirondacks, home.

Having never looked for a job in the area before, Normann enlisted the help of the agency.

“I needed a staffing firm with knowledge of the area and employers. I choose to partner with ETS for their excellent connections, history and knowledge of the area,” Normann said.

Normann is now honing his expertise as a Continuous Improvement Engineer at Mold-Rite Plastics. Since being placed by ETS in December 2015, his skills and passion have advanced his role to include working on all areas of the lining process.

“ETS was able to match me with a position which best fit my interests and experience,” he said. “It is always good to have an experienced team on your side.”

His quick success has improved customer delivery, maximized productivity and fostered a dynamic team.

Mental health assoc. to celebrate 50 years Essex County Mental Health to host 50th anniversary celebration on Oct. 1 WESTPORT — The Mental Health Association (MHA) in Essex County will celebrate their 50th anniversary at Ballard Park in downtown Westport, Saturday Oct. 1.

MHA has been providing mental health and wellness services to the North Country region since 1966.

Currently, their services are available to adults throughout Essex County recovering from mental health issues. MHA’s programs include case management, supported employment, supported education, self help, supported housing, community centers and transportation.

Mental health affects every individual and every family, according to MHA. One in four adults are diagnosed with a mental health issue in their lifetime. Depression and anxiety are becoming more and more common, says the group, and the suicide rates in the North Country are high.

Prior to the creation of the Essex County Suicide Prevention Coalition, the suicide rate in Essex County was double that of the rest of New York State. In the last two years, MHA has worked to cut that number in half.

A major initiative for MHA is the task of suicide prevention and public education. MHA’s mission statement is to encourage, empower and overcome.

For the MHA’s 50th Anniversary celebration, they will host a 5K “Run for the Health of It” or 1 mile “Fun Run,” followed by an afternoon of games, food and a live performance from local country star Joe McGinness, all taking place at Ballard Park in Westport from 1-6 p.m.

For more information, call the MHA at 962-2077.

ANCA

From page 1 in 1955.

There’s the $300,000 in grant funding that Assemblywoman Addie Russell (D-116th) locked in for a pilot farm-to-school program in her district, and numerous clean energy efforts, including pushes to provide solar energy to cash-strapped municipalities.

Advocacy efforts include the Go Digital or Go Dark campaign that dragged theaters out of the Stone Age and workforce development projects.

“We don’t make it happen,” said ANCA Board President James Sonneborn. “We help it to happen.”

ADVICE Prior to breaking into small groups designed to troubleshoot, experts offered sage advice: For Tim Fortune, an art gallery owner and chair of Saranac Lake’s Downtown Advisory Board, words need to be followed by direct action — “When you create small successes in big communities, it results in big changes,” Fortune said. “Do something to improve your community — just don’t talk about it.”

Wilmington has undergone a resurgence in the past decade said Randy Preston, the town’s supervisor since 2008.

Preston ticked off the accomplishments: A beach, a refurbished bridge, a new gas station.

A new brewpub may be on the way. And of course, there is the new network of mountain bike trails running through the state-owned Wilmington Wild Forest.

“I’m run down and gray and falling apart,” Preston said, “but the town is coming back to life.”

Ninety-eight percent of these projects were made possible through grant funding.

Be aggressive in locking those in, said Preston, who linked a $12 million package to refurbish the Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway directly to a reception in Albany at which he hobnobbed with the governor.

Thousands gathered this past weekend at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid from across the Diocese of Ogdensburg and beyond for the 2016 Vocations Summit titled, INSPIRE: Called to Love. Bishop Robert Barron was present along with other internationally renowned Catholic speakers in order to remind God’s People of their universal call to holiness and to strengthen them living out and discerning God’s call to serve his people.

Pictured are, Archbishop Brendan O’Brien, Archdiocese of Kingston, Ontario; Archbishop Terrence Prendergast, Archdiocese of Ottawa, Ont.; Bishop Terry R. LaValley, Jennifer Fulwiler, George Weigel, Bishop Robert Barron, auxiliary bishop of Los Angeles; Bishop Christopher Coyne, Bishop of Burlington, Vermont.

And collaborate whenever possible.

“Partnerships truly work,” Preston said, citing projects undertaken with the state Department of Conservation, the town highway department, Whiteface Mountain and the Barkeaters Trail Alliance. “The DEC has been truly fantastic to work with.”

FORCED COOPERATION With the disappearance of earmarks from the state budget — commonly known as “pork” — partnerships and shared services are more than a buzzword, but are critical for success because communities and agencies are now forced to cooperate, said a Glens Falls leader.

While local officials have made great strides in regional development projects, said Ed Bartholomew, president of the Economic Development Corporation of Warren County, progress has been hampered in some areas due to entrenched tribal thinking.

The development of a website for a consortium of 35 arts groups, for instance, was stalled because some parties could not set aside their bad blood stemming from past turf wars, Bartholomew said.

And progress on a regional loan was similarly stymied.

Kristi Dippel, Director of the Clayton Local Development Corporation, said she couldn’t possibly distill how her agency transformed an eight-acre industrial zone into a boutique hotel, a grueling 15-year process, into a three-minute stump.

“I’m more of a survivor,” she quipped.

For Aaron Benner, who aims on opening a web design studio in a former train station in downtown Plattsburgh, the solution to revitalization is simple.

“In Plattsburgh, or Clayton, wherever you may be — you just have to make two blocks cool,” he said, citing a bar in Queens neighborhood that became the go-to spot for local residents.

And Rutland Mayor Chris Louras directly staked his city’s fortunes on welcoming refugees, a proposal that has proved to be controversial on his home turf.

factory owned by Adirondack Architectural Heritage, which occupies a nearby building on Main Street.

The complex has no plumbing or power, and the event was a decidedly analog affair: Organizers had to string extension cords to power the naked light bulbs, and the presenters were (thankfully) unshackled from PowerPoint presentations.

Steven Engelhart, AARCH’s executive director, said preservation efforts can be part of broader revitalization movements.

The agency, in fact, has grand plans for the site, including a waterfront park and transforming the building into a business incubator, much like those that have popped up in other Champlain Valley communities, including Essex and Westport.

Engelhart traced the history of the site, which was built in 1849 and relied on the river for power.

“In some ways, the revitalization process had that same kind of idea, to use natural resources in a way that hasn’t been done before,” Engelhart said.

He added: “Working with ANCA has been a great pleasure.

To see it filled with life like it is today is incredibly inspiring.”

The results of the workshops, said Caitlin Wargo, ANCA communications and development director, will be assembled into a toolkit of best practices and distributed throughout the organization’s network.

GETTING STARTED As attendees streamed out of the conference, a man and two high school-age kids exited a building on Ausable Street and peered at the group.

The man, who declined to give his name, pointed at the lowslung building next to the Stone Mill.

“I’d like to see that torn down,” he said.

A reporter asked the man what he thought were the biggest issues facing the community: “Troublemakers” and the speed limit along Ausable Street, he said. (And of course, the building.)

Kody Gonya, a student at AuSable Valley High, cradled his dog.

“Along the river, a nice community park would be awesome,” he said.

EYE ON THE ARTS

‘Inscribed and sealed for a new year’

R

osh Hashanah, the beginning of the Jewish New Year, is right around the corner. Rosh Hashanah celebrates the birth of mankind; the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve. The holiday also symbolizes the first sin and subsequent repentance of man.

What follows will be ten days of repentance, according to chabad.org, which will end with Yom Kippur on Oct. 12. A popular saying in the Jewish community during this time is “leshanah torah tikateiv veteichateim,” or “may you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.”

One aspect of Rosh Hashanah is the reciting of the Tashlich prayers, where Jews symbolically cast their sins into the water while reciting the verse “and you shall cast their sins into the depths of the sea.” This allows participants to leave their old shortcomings behind, and start the year with a clean slate.

There is beauty to be found in every religion and faith, just as there is beauty to be found in art.

We are lucky, in the North Country, to be seeing an ever-increasing amount of beauty to be found here. Here are a few suggestions as to where you can find your slice of faith and art around the region: HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS Shaaray Teflia, the Center for Jewish Life in Glens Falls, will celebrate the first day of Rosh Hashanah on Oct. 3. The center will have activities all day, beginning with the shacharit at 9 a.m. and ending with the ma’ariv at 6:30 p.m. A special Tashlich prayer is scheduled for 4 p.m. in Crandall Park. On Oct. 12, the center will celebrate Yom Kippur with a Neilah service at 5:30 p.m., with a special blessing of children. For more information, visit shaaraytefila-gfny.org.

The Chabad of Plattsburgh will host their first Rosh Hashanah dinner on Oct. 2 at 7:15 p.m. Their second Rosh Hashanah dinner will be held on Oct. 3 at 7:30 p.m. Reservations can be made online at plattsburghchabad.com.

The Lake Placid Synagogue will hold high holiday services on Oct. 2 at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 3 at 9 a.m. and Oct. 4 at 9 a.m. A special Tashlich service will be held on Oct. 3 at the Lake Placid boat launch. A Kol Nidre service is scheduled for Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. and a Yom Kippur service for Oct. 12 at 9 a.m. with ne’ila at 6 p.m. The synagogue requests a donation of $100 per seat for the high holy days. For more information, visit lakeplacidsynagogue. org.

The Temple Beth El in Glens Falls will celebrate the high holy days with a special Rosh Hashanah service at 10 a.m. on Oct. 3. The synagogue will also provide a Quarry House children’s service at 3 p.m. On Oct. 12, a Yom Kippur service is scheduled for 10 a.m., with a children’s service to follow at 2 p.m. and an afternoon service at 3 p.m. The afternoon service will be followed by a Yizkor memorial service, Neilah service and more. For more information, visit glensfallstemple.com or call 792-4364.

PERU — The world has gone from America Online to broadband, Ace of Base to Rihanna and Drake, between 1994 and 2016 — the same span of time between AuSable Valley victories over the Peru Indians.

The Patriots shut down the Indian’s offense Saturday, Sept. 24, intercepting Peru four times and recovering a fumble as they scored a 13-0 shutout win coming 22 years to the day when the Patriots last beat Peru, 32-6, on Sept. 24, 1994.

Brandon Snow recorded a pair of interceptions for the Patriots, while Landon Shay and Trent Bordeaux also had picks.

Snow also shined on the offensive side of the ball, catching five passes for 76 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

The first came on a 13-yard play between Snow and quarterback Dalton McDonald in the first quarter, while the Patriots struck again early in the second quarter as McDonald found Snow on what would end up as a 22 yard scoring play, giving the Patriots a 13-0 lead they would whole through the entirety of the second half.

McDonald finished with 95 passing yards and two touchdowns on 10-for-27 passing, along with three interceptions which Peru

was unable to convert on as the Patriots defense held the Indians to negative 5 rushing yards and 140 yards overall.

Kobe Parrow caught four passes for 12 yards and Shay added another catch for seven yards.

The Patriots also had a hard time getting anything going on the fround, with Shay leading the team with 13 yards rushing as Matt Pray added 10 yards.

For the Indians, Ryley O’Connell was 19-of-45 for 145 yards while throwing three of the team’s four interceptions. Dakota Arquette and John Gallo were the only rushers in double digits with 12 and 10 yards, respectively, while Luke Carpenter and Gallo each had 37 yards receiving.

The Patriots (2-2) will host Saranac (0-4) Friday, Sept. 30, in a game which will determine which team will have the home field in the opening round of the Section VII/Class C playoffs in week 8.

The Indians (1-3) will also play under the lights Sept. 30, traveling to Plattsburgh High School (1-3), also with opening round sectional home-field on the line.

he North Country SPCA is North Country excited to announce that SPCA the Petco Foundation has announced its Holiday Wishes grant Kathy Wilcox > Columnist rollerprincessfrog@yahoo.com campaign, giving us the opportunity to win $100,000! Can you imagine?!

But we need help from you, our adopters. If you adopted your pet from us, share your story about how your adopted pet brings you more joy each day. If the NCSPCA is selected for the grand prize, you’ll also receive a $1,000 Petco gift card!

You can submit your story at bit. ly/holidaywishes2016. The deadline is Oct. 15 at 11:59 p.m. You can also check out the link on our Facebook page to learn more.

Our featured pet this week is Arthur, a Boxer/American Bulldog-mix who came in as a stray. He is such a terrific pooch that we simply can’t believe no one has claimed this lovable Arthur guy. When he first arrived at the shelter, Arthur was painfully thin and suffering from a severe flea infestation. However, he is now gaining weight and happily flea-free.

This is a people dog who adores humans and will slobber you with kisses if given the opportunity. He has excellent leash manners and is very neat and tidy in his kennel. We are not certain yet how he gets along with other dogs, but our staff will be happy to update you as we get to know him better. Arthur is such a happy fellow - his little stubby tail never stops wagging! If you’re a boxer person, come down here quickly and grab this smushy-face boy!
