Essex County: Expect 5% tax hike next year Budget planning still underway; tentative tax increase comes as county nears end of five-year fiscal plan By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is making progress on hashing out next year’s tentative spending plan. Taxes will almost certainly increase next year.

“We’re in the 5 percent neighborhood,” Essex County Manager Dan Palmer told lawmakers on Monday. But the increase is expected. Essex County is now in the fourth year of a five-year plan implemented to course correct their finances, which were teetering on insolvency after years of reliance on their fund balance. Lawmakers have been holding budget workshops for much of this month. One giant question mark is the annual renewal process of employee health insurance policies. Palmer estimated a 10 percent increase in premiums, but hopes that can be whittled

down to 7 or 8 percent depending on how discussions with four different providers play out. “So we will have four quotes to look at to see where we are in terms of that,” Palmer told lawmakers on Monday. Health insurance “experience ratings” are complicated, Palmer said, and rates and premium renewals are driven by shifts in the Affordable Care Act and state tax surcharges, among other variables. “Health insurance gets to be really complicated when you go to the experience rate,” Palmer said. “But hopefully, we’re looking at that 7 to 8 percent range.”

GOP ‘super PAC’ drops $500k into NY21 race Ahead of final stretch, funds will be allocated to television commercials in the Watertown and Albany markets

By Kim Dedam

WESTPORT — Two hundred years ago, Westport’s first farmers cut hundreds of limestone blocks and fashioned a oneroom schoolhouse. The blocks are fit like a stalwart puzzle against the wind-whipped edge of Lake Champlain. One teacher taught eight grades at the same time in about 900 square feet of space here. The woodstove occupies a good 10 feet in the center of the room, its pipe fitted to a chimney through the roof ’s center peak. “In 1816, the United States flag had 21 stars and 13 stripes,” Ruth Barber, a descendant of those first settlers, said to a crowd gathered for the bicentennial celebration. The last year it was used, one-hundred years later, the flag had 48 stars, she said.

Additional details will be available next week after the county’s purchasing manager returns from vacation. “We have to file by (November) 15th, which we fully intend to do,” Palmer said. The county is right where it needs to be following the five-year plan, Palmer said, and the county’s reserves have returned to a “more acceptable level.” “We’ve managed to go from nearly a $7 million deficit to a healthy fund balance. How we choose to use that moving forward makes a big difference,” Palmer said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A “super PAC” backed by House Republicans announced plans to spend $500,000 against Mike Derrick in the final stretch of New York’s 21st District Congressional race. The independent expenditure will include television advertising in the Albany and Watertown media markets, the Congressional Leadership Fund announced on Friday. “In just two years, Elise Stefanik has delivered for her district and stood as a conservative, results-oriented leader in Congress,” said Ruth Guerra, a CLF spokeswoman. “Mike Derrick, on the other hand, vows to be another rubber stamp to the failed Obama-Clinton agenda that has left hardworking families behind.” The spending influx comes three weeks before voters head to the polls on Nov. 8, and is part of a $10 million package allocated last week to 15 congressional districts across the country, bringing CLF’s total announced general election spending to date to over $33 million in 29 districts. >> See NY-21 | pg. 10

ELIZABETHTOWN – Longtime Essex County Cornell Cooperative Extension Director Anita Deming is retiring at the end of the year. On Jan. 1, 2017, Rick LeVitre, the executive director of Cooperative Extension in Franklin County, will assume the role of Essex County director as well, serving 1.5 days a week in that post. Meanwhile, the Cooperative Extension Board of Directors will search for a fulltime agriculture educator. Cooperative Extension Board President Jay White

said splitting the duties held by Deming will save money and be more efficient. “At the end of this year, we are losing a really great director here in Essex County,” he told the Essex County Board of Supervisors recently. “We are going to miss Anita.” The county funds Cooperative Extension as a contract agency. “We are going to reapportion our resources to better serve the people of Essex County,” White said. “We want to use those tax dollars

to the benefit of the people of Essex County. “We feel that that full-time (agriculture educator) position in Essex County is necessary. We feel the executive director duties can be pared down to about a 25 percent position. “This is a good fit for us,” White said. The Essex County Cooperative Extension Service will pay LeVitre 25 percent of his Franklin County salary. “He (LeVitre) will be here on a weekly basis,” White said. “He will do some work for us at his office in Malone as well.” LeVitre has been with the Franklin County extension unit for five years, and worked in Vermont and Massachusetts before that.

“At one time I managed four counties in extension,” LeVitre said. “I believe this is a great opportunity for both counties. There is a great need for shared services. There is duplication from one county to another in administration.” He said the split in duties will allow them to focus dollars on programs, not administration. “I believe extension still has a major role, even as extension has changed, as 4-H has changed,” LeVitre said. “I think this partnership is only going to be something that is workable, efficient and for the betterment of the area.” Essex County Cooperative Extension could have the agriculture educator position filled in January or February 2017, if the search starts soon, he said.

Kids visit E’town fire station for Fire Prevention week Hoses, bunker gear, helmets and sirens made for a busy morning adventure. By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Some 55 kindergarten, first and second graders from Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School piled out of two school buses to visit the fire station here last Friday. Waiting in the driveway, the pumper’s lights were going and an ambulance siren blared as they lined up to learn about fire safety. Part of the field trip let all the students see and try on the fire gear, blast hoses and ask questions. Firefighters from both Elizabethtown and Lewis Volunteer Fire Departments set up several areas for students to explore. And explore they did, all hands on and all kinds of curious. Steve Duso Jr., second assistant chief in Lewis, rolled open the fire equipment box on the truck and uncoiled a few lengths of hose. About 30 hands wanted a chance to try the nozzle. “We aren’t going to shoot water from this one today,” the chief said, wary of the chilly morning temperatures. He shared industrial type glow sticks and showed them how gauges on the truck measure foam and water pressure. And he pulled down a big fire extinguisher. “Do you have one of these?” he asked, and some kids nodded. He pulled out the Halligan Bar, sometimes, Duso said, called a “hooligan” bar. He explained how they use it to break down doors or window to get into a burning building. The kids thought it was a pretty heavy implement.

“How loud is that fire whistle?” one young student asked, pointing to the big the horn on top of the station. “It’s really loud,” Duso said. “And if it goes off, we all go inside so the fire trucks can go out.” Elizabethtown firefighter Jon Fenton brought another group inside to try on fire gear. The kids were curious about the fire personnel and asked their names. “You know who I am,” Fenton told one youngster. “I live right next to you.” Kindergartener Carter Cheney tried on one of the big fire coats. “It’s heavy,” he said as the coats tail hit the floor. Fenton told them it is especially heavy on a hot summer day fighting a hot fire. Inside, firefighter Joe Thomas-Train put each piece of bunker gear on one item at a time, as Paul Fenton explained each item: boots, pants, jacket and hat, including the mask and breathing apparatus. The first and second grade teachers, Cathy Rock and Debora Egglefield, said seeing a fireman in full gear now might make it less frightening should a child ever experience a house fire. “Don’t let the way they dress scare you even more,” Egglefield said. “He would be there to help you.” Fire police officer Frank Cooper pointed out how strange Joe’s voice sounds from inside the mask pulled against his face. “That voice behind the mask is there to help you,” Cooper said.

The young students asked a host of questions: Do you have a fire dog? Do you go in alone? Is there a fire pole? What do you do at a fire? Paul said they go in to fight a fire in teams. And sometimes a fire ends up as a false alarm, he explained. “We assess what’s going on when we first go to a call,” Paul said. “We make sure everybody is out.” They discussed fire drill practices at school, which Rock said has worked to get all students out and counted in about one minute. Behind the school, kindergarten kids tried their hands at spraying a small hose from the brush truck, a vehicle used to fight fires on open land or near forests. Before they left, Paul gave each student a new smoke detector to use at home. The fire departments here have been hosting elementary age school children for about 10 years.

“The kids seem to really enjoy this,” Paul said. “They spend an hour or two hours for a day during Fire Prevention Week.” “It is very important for them to see Joe getting dressed so they aren’t afraid.” Fenton said Elizabethtown works with Lewis fire company and the ElizabethtownLewis Ambulance Squad to host the kids every year. “They have some great questions,” he chuckled. Along with Rock and Egglefield, Kindergarten Teachers Terry Egglefield and Sue Bryant helped coordinate the morning trip, in addition to Marci Oliver, Tina Belzile and Sue Plumadore.

White Cane Awareness Day celebrated in Elizabethtown Annual event designed to bridge awareness gap between visually-impaired, sighted residents By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The group moved slowly down Hand Avenue, their white canes making wide, uncertain arcs on the sidewalk. Moving two-by-two, they unsteadily traversed several hundred yards, stopped and made their way back. Amy Kretser urged the group to relax. “Every once in awhile, shake your shoulders,” Kretser said. Pay attention to sound and feeling. Stay on the left. Be alert. And don’t look down. “The cane allows you to get information so you’re not looking at your feet,” Kretser said. The goggles came off, and their sight immediately returned. The group buzzed. The simulation was part of National White Cane Awareness Day, the annual event designed to shine light on those who are visually impaired. JUST LIKE US Participants used special goggles that simulated the common eye diseases that cause blindness, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Ninety to 95 percent of white cane users have some vision, said Eileen Brennan, a mobility specialist with the North Country Association for the Visually Impaired, the nonprofit that helped coordinate the event. Brennan helps folks get reacclimated after suffering vision loss. “Visually impaired people are just like us,” she said.

Folks can have one of these issues, or multiple ones. “It’s complicated.” In fact, most people probably work with visually-impaired people right now and don’t even realize it thanks to the training and services provided by the Plattsburgh-based organization, including adaptive technology and transportation services, Kretser said. Teaching people how to properly use canes is one of the most important ways people who are blind maintain their independence, said Kretser, who serves as the nonprofit’s executive director. Training includes obeying traffic laws and becoming familiar with their routes. But awareness on both sides is paramount to ensure both drivers and pedestrians are safe. “Not all drivers and bikers are aware that the white cane indicates the person using it is blind or visually impaired,” Kretser said. Many are quick to turn right on red or make left-handed turns onto one-way streets not realizing that a person crossing with a white cane doesn’t necessarily see the traffic coming, said Kretser. The simulation, while brief, was illuminating for the participants, including Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague. Sprague said she was nervous, but took solace in its temporary nature. “What about the person who is going to be living with this forever?” she said. “I had a tree jump out at me,” said Laurie Booth-Trudo, who said the experience helped her to empathize with several vision-impaired family members who recently underwent orientation training. Others noted how much more energy and concentration was required, and their newfound reliance on other senses, including hearing and scent. NCAVI held the event in conjunction with the United Way of the Adirondack Region, which aids the nonprofit in fund-

raising efforts. “It is a celebration,” said Kretser on the national event. “It’s not about how hard it is for people.”

The North Country Association for the Visually Impaired facilitated simulation as part of National White Cane Awareness Day on Oct. 14 in Elizabethtown. The white cane, say advocates, has become a symbol to the blind community honoring their achievements. Photo by Pete DeMola

County authorizes mold remediation at nutrition kitchen By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County lawmakers tentatively approved a pair of measures on Monday to propel remediation on the senior meal nutrition kitchen forward. The Department of Public Works Committee authorized up to $25,000 for the purchase of a new cooler, and up to $20,000 to remediate mold issues. Remediation is expected to take about a week, said Dan Palmer, the county manager.

A state Department of Health inspection last spring revealed code and ventilation issues at the current site on Court Street in Elizabethtown. County officials have determined the construction of a new building would be the most cost-effective solution compared to a full remediation, which was projected to cost $500,000. Initial costs for a new structure are pegged at $1.3 million. So far, the county has accrued about $500,000 in state grants. An additional $500,000 has been peeled from their forestry account. The county said the mold removal is neces-

sary regardless of the building’s future, whether it used for storage or torn down at a later date. “It’s always going to be there, and an issue that needs to be addressed at some point,” Palmer said. The coolers will be used while the county mitigates the mold issue, and will be stored outside. With fees from $2,500 to $3,000 per month, renting a cooler is also cost-prohibitive, Palmer said. “It seems like a crazy amount of money to spend.”

Lawmakers previously authorized going out to bid for specs for a new building, but scrapped the submitted proposals last month. Deputy County Manager Mike Mascarenas said the county will reopen the process. “We are going to go out to bid again,” Mascarenas said on Monday. A new building would be constructed on either the current site or the county-owned fairgrounds in Westport, Palmer said. The kitchen prepares 1,400 mails daily, which are sent to the county’s 14 meal nutrition sites.

WHALLONSBURG — A frontier spirit comes to the Whallonsburg Grange kitchen a few days before Halloween. With the Taste of the Grange series’ third installation, scheduled for Oct. 27, Lela Niemetz, a registered dietician, leads “Eat Like It’s 1799.” That doesn’t mean discussing hard tack or rendering fat from animal skins. It might mean mush, but likely not cooked overnight on embers of a cooling fire. For Niemetz, who discovered Essex and the area farms by getting lost last year, it is much more about local and seasonal food. Based in Oneida, Niemetz owns FoodFeasible, a company that helps connect its clientele to local food and farm sources. “Over the last year, I have really began eating locally and seasonally. By locally, I mean almost all of my meals come from ingredients and animals sourced within 30 miles of my home,” Niemetz said via email. “This food adventure started in Essex, by accidentally missing the bridge to Vermont, waiting for the ferry instead, and taking a quick walk down the Essex waterfront. “I was drawn to everything about Essex. I find the historic buildings attractive and mysterious, the agricultural history, the mountains, Lake Champlain.” She said uncovering recipes from 1799 for her is part of the ongoing adventure that started here. “By cooking common dishes from the turn of the 18th century, I hope to source mostly local ingredients. Realistically, I may have to fill in certain old time ingredients with current ‘like ingredients’ to recreate the older recipes or as they used to be called, receipts. So I see a natural blending of past and

present happening by default.” Frugal was part of the early settlers’ diet, given food always came from either the yard or the forest nearby. Mush, cider, beer and cheese filled in around the bread and muffin items, even in the morning, according to most historical accounts. “Store bought” or transported foods were not available. In fact, many roads around here were not completed by 1799. Elizabethtown was formed only two years before the turn of the 18th century. The Bay Road between Westport and Elizabethtown was chartered shortly before 1810. “My whole purpose is to make healthy, delicious eating affordable to everyone. I am spending all of my time comparing the costs of farm shares and farm food to larger chain grocers,” Niemitz said of her occupation. “My favorite thing is to introduce new people to farms and to eating this way, blasting through the association between organic farm food and expensive. Local, whole, organic food will no longer be considered a niche or for the financially privileged if FoodFeasible has anything to do with it.” The nutritionist admits the Grange class is much exploration for her as it will be for people who attend. “I hope attendees can come with an open mind and I encourage people to share their history about both what food

and what Essex means to them.” Taste of the Grange autumn series was developed after success with several cooking programs in the Whallonsburg kitchen last year, according to Grange Manager Kate Ritter. “We reached out to a variety of food professionals, capturing all angles of food production and enjoyment of local food.” The classes are somewhat small, averaging about 15 people, she said. The $15 fee covers the lesson, ingredients, plus sharing the meal. “Anyone who comes in to teach can prepare their own foods, too,” Ritter said of the production kitchen built especially to support local food producers. “Eat Like It’s 1799” is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 27 at 6 p.m.

Uncharted waters

e’ve witnessed the process g row i ng worse election by election, but clearly this year’s campaign has now reached new depths. Key factors that can corrupt even the most wellintentioned among us are all in play this year and they are affecting more than just those running for office. Politics, money, influence, power and sex are the tools that fuels that drive Washington, which is why we shouldn’t be at all surprised by what’s taking place. But this year, the media has chosen to further flex it’s unbridled power and influence to play a role in creating extra drama, as both sides have argued, tipping the scales of this election through their reporting or lack of reporting. Set party affiliation aside if you can for a moment. This election and the final two candidates have been in play for nearly two years. Nothing being revealed in the last few weeks about either candidate is new. It’s all old news. So why are these breaking news events occurring at this pivotal point? Forget fair and balanced. Forget your party affiliation and candidate choice. This is pure octane spiking of the news for obvious reasons. Perceived scandals are far more stimulating, plain and simple. If the national media with all their investigative crews, truly did it’s job all this “stuff ” would have come out long ago disqualifying these candidates and perhaps today we could be spending more time having conversations about the real issues that affect everyday Americans and the world. This whole mess has been so carefully choreographed if it were a movie, they would have a landslide victory at the Academy Awards, but unfortunately it’s real life and this election will affect millions, both in negative and positive ways, for perhaps years to come. Our Constitution calls on a free press to be the guardian of the people; to afflict the powerful and comfort the afflicted. Unfortunately, the national media has become far too influential and comfortable with the position they enjoy and are swayed by the flow of big money, much like our political system. Their first priority is driving sales and enhancing the cash flow. Their second priority is to insure that continues long after the

The Saranac River Trail in Plattsburgh is a great place to get moving and be active

North Country ahead of healthy living curve thanks to local officials

e’re buoyed by the results of a national poll released last week that reveals a connection between communities built for active living and the health of their residents. According to Gallup, communities with the greatest investment in supporting active lifestyles yield residents who do “significantly better” in key aspects of well-being. The polling organization surveyed 48 communities nationwide. Residents in the five highest-ranked active living communities — including Boston, San Francisco, Chicago, New York City and Washington, D.C. — have on average significantly lower obesity and diabetes rates. Their blood pressure is lower. So are their cholesterol levels and rates of depression. Residents also report better exercise habits and lower levels of smoking than those living in communities with comparatively little active living infrastructure — things like parks, trails, bike paths and public transportation networks. While the cities surveyed are all urban areas, our very own small towns are making great strides in catching up with their more cosmopolitan counterparts. In fact, our North Country communities are actually at the forefront of this shift towards more healthy lifestyles as a result of the strategies pursued by our governmental agencies and their nonprofit counterparts. Essex County, for instance, recently wrapped up a five-year project designed to install healthy infrastructure in each town, including public gardens, walking paths, playgrounds and exercise equipment. Their hard work has been ensured to continue for the next half-decade through a new partnership with Clinton County that aims to promote healthy

eating and daily exercise in schools and communities, and to implement Complete Streets plans, or blueprints designed to improve walkability. At the same time, walking trails and fitness projects are blossoming in towns across Clinton County, from athletic efforts in Plattsburgh to a proposed river trail project in Saranac. And in Warren County, a bike trail from Lake George to Glens Falls has proven to be ever-popular. These folks deserve to be commended for their foresight and dedication to public health. The report shows that these developments are not mere fanciful concepts, but are projects that have resulted in tangible and concrete changes for the general public. But, as the poll notes, continued success can only be possible with the support of the entire community, from schools to retail outlets, employers and restaurants. That’s already happening here in the North Country, and we never fail to be amazed by the partnerships and collaborations we see moving forward on a daily basis. So let’s all pitch in to ensure our local communities remain at the forefront of this trend. The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau and Pete DeMola. We want to hear from you. What do you think of our new look? Drop us a line on our new Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter, to share your thoughts.

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

cOMMENTARy

StefanikÊ doesÊ itÊ onÊ behalf Ê of Ê people

EssexÊ CountyÊ needsÊ aÊ tetheringÊ law

To the Editor: It is unbelievable that six demonstrators and three supporters outside Rep. Elise Stefanik’s office were covered by 10 media personnel and made the front page of several daily papers. What a shame during the election cycle that the media covers 9 people and not the masses our Congresswoman has helped. She has done so much for our veterans, locally and on the federal level, by ensuring over a million dollars in VA benefits were rightfully placed in our veteran’s hands. She is a person of integrity and professional persuasion who has accomplished much for the North Country, not just by reaching across the aisle in the House, but by reaching out to Senators Gillibrand and Schumer as well to ensure the best for her constituents. Elise Stefanik’s openness and transparency has shown us her full voting record and even her taxes. Her Facebook page traces not only her energy, as she is everywhere in this very large district, but her commitment to those pictured with her. I can’t think of a person in need, a business or a profession she has not visited or helped — our farmers, our firefighters, our college youth, our retail and mom and pop stores. She attacks every problem we face from migrant workers, invasive species, veteran caregiver issues and opioid abuse. The media would do well covering the issues Rep. Stefanik works diligently on that matter for the people who actually live here instead of the people that demonstrate and most likely don’t live here. Elsie Stefanik does it all on behalf of the people, not for the headlines, but it would be nice if those efforts did make the front page once in a while. I am proud to tell people the Elise Stefanik is my representative. Everyone reading this should be too!

To the Editor: In early 2015, the Essex County Animal Cruelty Task Force presented the Board of Supervisors with a comprehensive report on the state of animal cruelty in the county and a series of recommendations to address it, including a county law to restrict the chaining of dogs to a fixed object. As the Ways and Means Committee is poised to vote on the law a second time, there is a need to explain the necessity for this law and clear up any misunderstanding about its purpose and requirements. Studies have shown that tethering or fastening a dog for a prolonged period to a stationary object is inhumane and presents a threat to the safety and wellbeing of the dog. Tethers can injure dogs, become tangled and inhibit their access to food, water and shelter. Chained dogs cannot escape from extreme weather, predators or other threats to their safety. When a dog is tied or chained for long periods of time, its basic needs of companionship, freedom of movement and exercise are not being met. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Humane Society of the United States and ASPCA all oppose the practice of chaining or tethering dogs. Yet, current New York State law does not address tethering – at all. Right now, an owner can chain a dog for life and there is nothing anyone can do about it as long as adequate food, water and shelter are provided. However, while the state prohibits the county from passing laws related to most animal cruelty issues, tethering is one of the few exceptions to this rule. And that gives us an opportunity in Essex County to put an end to the suffering of dogs forced to live their entire lives – or a good part of it – at the end of a chain. We are asking the Board to act on this because tethering is a clear and present problem in Essex County, affecting nearly every town. In fact, most cases of cruelty to dogs investigated by the Sheriff ’s Office involve tethering. Overall, communities that pass tethering laws are safer for people and more humane for dogs. Dog bites, loose dogs and barking dog complaints decline significantly over time. Tethering laws also reduce animal cruelty complaints because they set clear expectations for pet owners and allow law enforcement to intervene before it is too late. The proposed law represents the collective efforts of local agencies in consultation with community members including animal care professionals. We have tried to be responsive to the needs of caring pet owners while ensuring that the law is enforceable. The proposed law: • Imposes a limitation on tethering of four continuous hours, eight hours total in any 24-hour period as long as the owner is on the property. • Prohibits tethering to a fixed point if the owner is not on the property. • Sets forth design requirements for safe tethers (e.g., no logging chains or choke collars). • Allows owners to confine a dog on an overhead run or in a dog enclosure (fence/kennel) for up to 12 hours in a 24 hour period, whether or not the owner is present. Exceptions are made for hunting dogs, agricultural working dogs and sled dogs. • Sets forth specifications for runs and enclosures as well as for crates and kennels used for the purpose of temporarily confining or transporting working dogs. • Establishes penalties for failure to comply, including a graduated schedule of fines for repeat offenders. Monies collected from paid fines will be dedicated to animal protection education, enforcement and/or for the maintenance of an animal abuse registry if one is established in the future. We want to stress that the goal is to keep dogs with their owners, while ensuring that they receive proper care. The primary responsibility for enforcement of the law is with the Sheriff ’s Office. The State Police, local police and town animal control officers may enforce the law but are not required to. Law enforcement will act with discretion and evaluate every situation to decide the best course of action. Every step we take to end the abuse of animals in Essex County is also a win for its residents as animal cruelty is strongly associated with domestic violence, child abuse and other violent crimes. When we protect the vulnerable among us, we improve the quality of life for all.

Polly Belanger Willsboro

UnitedÊ SpinalÊ responds To the Editor: The Oc. 13 Sun Community News article, “City’s ADA Compliance Plan Overdue,” was dangerously wrong on the facts, which has caused the United Spinal Association great concern. United Spinal Association’s Accessibility Services program was engaged by the City of Plattsburgh to help them create an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) transition plan. Your article stated, “United Spinal has been found guilty of violating the ADA across New York state ... and had been fined by the Attorney General and made to comply with a three year monitoring order.” This is completely untrue. United Spinal Association has never been accused of, nor charged with any ADA violations, ever. Moreover, we have never been fined and were never made to comply with a monitoring order. I realize that the reporter believed she was quoting a disability advocate, Debra Buell. Ms. Buell told me that she did not say this. Whether she said it or not, it is false and defamatory. Worse, it undermines the disability community’s confidence in United Spinal Association’s review and recommendations to the City of Plattsburgh. I have contacted both Ms. Buell and the North Country Center for Independence to assure them that they will be able to review our findings and have input into our recommendations before we give them to the City. The City of Plattsburgh does not object to this and welcomes their input, as well. We are disability advocates as well as experts in ADA compliance. I was involved in the drafting of the ADA and the lobbying for its passage. I have been a disability rights lawyer for 39 years. I was appointed by President Clinton to the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (the Access Board), the agency that promulgates ADA accessibility regulations. The United Spinal Association employee heading the Plattsburgh transition plan project is a Governor Cuomo appointee to the NY State Building Code Council and an internationally recognized accessible design expert. It is our desire that the newspaper correct this false information and actually report on what United Spinal Association is, what we have done and plan to do in Plattsburgh and garner the support of disability advocates, rather than their suspicion. Your article, printed without a single inquiry of United Spinal Association, the Attorney General’s office, or the City of Plattsburgh regarding the unsubstantiated allegation made against us, is irresponsible and actually could hurt our organization -which, incidentally, is a nonprofit corporation founded in 1946 by paralyzed veterans, where I have been proud to work for 37 years. On behalf of our 45,000+ members, most of whom use wheelchairs, and in order to benefit people with disabilities in the Plattsburgh area, it is imperative that the public be exposed to the truth. Thank you for your consideration. James Weisman Kew Gardens EDITOR’S NOTE: The Sun quoted Ms. Buell accurately and stands by our report. Visit the City of Plattsburgh’s YouTube channel to watch a recording of the meeting.

election with those in control of Washington. At the end of the day, we are all afflicted with the human condition. We all have flaws and are prone to give in to those flaws along the way. Those in power and with financial security are even more at risk to be swayed to use their powerful influence for their own advancement. This country was built on the premise that we could avoid these traps by keeping the power with the people. We have allowed ourselves to be manipulated and we are headed for trouble if we don’t turn things around very soon by demanding truth, accountability and limit the powerful from owning the upper hand.

Wikileaks and the media Proof of collusion Rick Jensen Columnist

tunning. Is there a more relevant word for describing the Wikileaks proof of collusion between members of the national media and the Hillary Clinton campaign? There’s no surprise that the Hillary campaign colluded with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to demean, disgrace and defeat Bernie Sanders. What may (or may not) surprise many Americans is that “journalists” in the national media also colluded with the Hillary campaign. Hillary was given debate questions in advance. Imagine a reporter investigating Hillary and the DNC’s questionable campaign fundraising tactics and then asking that campaign if they would like to edit the story before the reporter’s editor sees it. That’s exactly what one email proved Politico, reporter Ken Vogel did. He emailed his story with the subject line, “per agreement... any thoughts appreciated,” to Mark Paustenbach, Deputy Communications Director for the DNC. Paustenbach forwarded it to Luis Miranda, Communications Director at the DNC. “Vogel gave me his story ahead of time/before it goes to his editors as long as I didn’t share it. Let me know if you see anything that’s missing and I’ll push back.” Collusion. Another email titled “WaPo Party” exposed the, Washington Post, planning a secret fundraiser with the DNC. “They aren’t going to give us a price per ticket and do not want their party to be listed in any package we are selling to donors,”, wrote Anu Rangappa, Senior Advisor for General Election Strategies for the DNC. Jordan Kaplan, National Finance Director for the DNC, replied, “Great - we were never going to list since the lawyers told us we cannot do it.” The lawyers told them they could not do it. Just because this story isn’t front page news doesn’t mean it isn’t one of the biggest scandals in this election. It is. Haim Saban is a major Clinton donor. Wikileaks proves that in 2016, he received an email praising the Hillary-friendly moderators in the March Democratic primary co-hosted by Univision. This email was from Rob Friedman, retired co-chair at the Motion Picture Group. This email reveals moderators Karen Tumulty, Maria Elena Salinas and Jorge Ramos as players in roles written by Friedman and Saban, designed to promote Hillary over Bernie Sanders. This is the dark hole of soul-sucking depravity that is the root cause of American distrust of the national media. If the goal of journalism is honest, unbiased reporting of facts, then shouldn’t those reporters revealed to be colluding with the Clinton campaign meet the same employment fate as the disgraced Dan Rather did with CBS?

EYE ON THE ARTS

Breakthrough in Cuba/U.S. relations offers new world of art

his week in 1962, this nation was in the throws of the Cuban Missile Crisis. According to history.com, the world was poised at the brink of a nuclear conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. In America, many citizens began building or replenishing bomb shelters, waiting anxiously to see if the Soviet Union would use nuclear missiles to attack the United States from Cuban soil. Now, 54 years later, relations between the United States and Cuba are finally being normalized, with the U.S. government announcing on Oct. 14 that further measures would be taken to ease trade, travel and financial restrictions. Not only does this mean that Americans can now legally bring more of Cuba’s famed goods — cigars, rum, etc — back to the U.S., but it opens up new opportunities for Americans to learn more about Cuba’s art world. That being said, there is also an art world to explore a little closer to home, with entertainment of all sorts to fill in the gaps: Lake George’s Harvest Festival weekend will return on Oct. 21-23 with live entertainment, craft beer and wine, food and more.

For more information, contact info@cvfilms.org. Mel Brooks’ smash-hit broadway play “The Producers” will land at the Strand Theatre in Plattsburgh on Oct. 21-13. The musical comedy follows the life of producer Mex Bialystock and his accountant Leo Bloom as they plan a get-rich-quick scheme. Showtimes are Oct. 21 and Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 23 at 2 p.m. Tickets, which cost $20-30, are available at the Strand Center Box Office, online at strandcenter.org, or by calling 563-1604.

CLF and its sister organization, American Action Network (AAN), remain the single largest outside conservative spenders on the U.S. House. The two groups spent $20 million in independent expenditures on U.S. House races in 2014. RYAN: STEFANIK HAS MY ‘FULL SUPPORT’ The firehose comes as the GOP deals with the fallout following the release of a tape that revealed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump bragging about groping women. Since the leak of the tape and an acrimonious second presidential debate, Trump has been accused of sexual assault from at least nine women who have come forward. House Speaker Paul Ryan appeared to indicate the race was lost last week, and said his remaining priority would be to ensure Republicans retained the majority in the House. Stefanik worked with Ryan when she served as Policy Director for 2012 GOP National Convention Platform when Ryan was the party’s vice presidential candidate. Last week, the Wisconsin lawmaker posted a photo of himself with Stefanik on Twitter: “Elise Stefanik is part of a new generation of leaders who bring fresh ideas to Washington,” Ryan wrote. “She has my full support.” In addition to Derrick, a Democrat, Stefanik also faces a challenge from Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello. The Siena Research Institute announced last week they would not poll the district, citing a lack of resources, according to the Post Star. But a NRCC-commissioned poll released Monday revealed Stefanik led Derrick 54 to 29 percent. That same poll, conducted by American Viewpoint, found the lawmaker had a 55 percent approval and 27 percent disapproval rating; Derrick had a 28 percent approval and 19 percent disapproval rating. A Stefanik campaign spokesman declined to comment on if the district has been flagged by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) as one that may go blue. According to Sabato’s “Crystal Ball” forecast, Democrats need to gain 30 seats to flip the House. That report, published Oct. 13, said Democrats can expect to gain between 10 to 15 seats. “We do not yet know the implication that Donald Trump’s apparent weakening in the polls will have down the ticket, which is why this is an odd time to take a look at the House,” wrote Kyle Kondik. Another DC-area outlet, the Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report/Roll Call, has rated the race as “Safe Republican.” But Republicans aren’t taking any chances on the seat that Stefanik won by 19 points in 2014. “Our great fundraising allows us to spend more money than ever before to safeguard the strongest center-right majority possible in the House,” said Mike Shields, president of CLF and AAN, in a statement. “Expanding beyond the top competitive seats on the map, these latest ad reservations are challenging liberal spending in more districts and standing beside more strong conservative Members of Congress.” DERRICK HITS BACK The $500,000 spend caps off a week of non-stop criticism

of Stefanik from the Derrick camp on her support of Trump. “Thanks to her unwavering support for Donald Trump, Elise Stefanik’s campaign is in a tailspin and now her backers in Washington are trying to bail her out,” said Drew Prestridge, a Derrick campaign spokesman. “Elise has been a part of the partisan establishment in Washington for more than 10 years and it’s clear she’s cashing in all her favors now. If anything, this just underscores the fact that Elise is not the independent voice she claims to be.” Lenny Alcivar, a spokesman for the Stefanik campaign, fired back: “This isn’t complicated. The reason former Colorado Republican-turned-Democrat Mike Derrick has been abandoned by his own party is because he has no new ideas for the North Country,” Alcivar said. Alcivar continued: “In this election, Matt Funiciello is the Bernie Sanders candidate. Mike Derrick is the candidate who supports the Obama Administration’s dangerous deal with Iran, which makes us less safe.” “We remain confident that Elise is in the strongest possible position to win in November,” said Alcivar, citing the lawmaker’s efforts to promote economic growth “while protecting Fort Drum and North Country veterans.” The Stefanik campaign has largely avoided mention of Funiciello until this week, seemingly content to let him hammer away at Derrick. But Alcivar’s comments allude to the Stefanik campaign’s latest advertisement, which appears to try to siphon support from Derrick by reminding voters of the third-party candidate. “Which candidate for Congress is the real progressive?” intones the narrator. “Matt Funiciello, of course. He’s the green candidate for Congress.” Funiciello called the 30-second spot a “cynical effort.” “While these two candidates are selling each other like toothpaste on television, I don’t want to be a part of that,” Funiciello said. “The Republican in this race has frequently tried to use me as a pawn.” “This is one of the strangest, unconventional behaviors I’ve seen yet in 25 years of watching elections.” FUNICIELLO DECRIES ‘DARK MONEY’ The Green Party does not accept corporate contributions, and Funiciello has refused to accept corporate, PAC and spe-

cial interest donations. The candidate has also been vocal in denouncing “dark money,” or the campaign donations given to LLCs and nonprofits which are then able to spend money on races without disclosing their donors. What’s even worse, said the candidate, is “gray money,” or spending by state super PACs that report other PACs as donors, making it nearly impossible to identify original donors. “Dark money is the latest sign that our democracy is rapidly turning into an oligarchy,” Funiciello said in a statement. “When money counts as speech, being able to give unlimited amounts skews an already broken system into a battleground for only the very top of the 1 percent.” Funiciello has called for full public financing of elections at all levels of government, and for enacting strict transparency laws that force campaign committees and PACs to disclose all of their donors. Funiciello has frequently assailed both Stefanik and Derrick as “corporate candidates.” “That means I’m the only candidate in NY21 that’s going to raise issues for the working class,” he said. Despite the lack of external polling, Funiciello said he believes his support in the district is surging: “The result of this election is no way predetermined,” Funiciello said. FUNDRAISING TOTALS Stefanik last week announced her campaign raised $618,000 in the third quarter, and now has $1.1 million cash on hand. Derrick announced $460,000 raised this quarter, and has over $360,000 current cash on hand. Through Sept. 30, the Stefanik campaign has raised a total of more than $2.8 million dollars for her re-election, more than doubling the $1.1 million reported by the Derrick campaign since he declared his candidacy last July. Information on Funiciello’s totals weren’t immediately available at the time this story went to print on Tuesday morning.

State-mandated testing reveals lead at Westport Central Discovery in sinks a result of state-mandated testing requirements By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WESTPORT — Westport Central is taking action to remediate lead contamination found in eight sinks. Test results have revealed eight of the 77 outlets tested were found to contain lead levels higher than 15 parts per billion. None of the positive tests were for drinking fountains, said Superintendent Scott Osborne. The locations include one sink in the main floor girl’s restroom, a sink in the secondgrade classroom, one in a home economics classroom and five sinks in a second-floor science lab. New fixtures have been ordered for all units except for those in the second-floor science lab pending additional research to determine the parts needed, Osborne said. A plumbing contractor will make the repairs as soon as possible, Osborne said. The

Essex County Department of Public Health has also been notified. The outlets remain safe to use for handwashing, but students are told not to use them for drinking. STATE MANDATED TESTING The results come after Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation into law last month requiring all state school districts to conduct the testing. The state Department of Health must conduct separate tests by Oct. 31. “These rigorous new protections for New York’s children include the toughest lead contamination testing standards in the nation, and provide clear guidance to schools on when and how they should test their water,” Cuomo said in a statement. The legislation comes on the heels of lead contamination issues in Flint, MI and Hoosick Falls, Rensselaer County, where carcinogenic chemicals were discovered earlier this year in the village’s groundwater. Previously, schools were not required to test their drinking water for lead or notify parents or government officials of the results.

ELCS RESULTS PENDING Osborne, who also serves as superintendent at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central, said results are still 4 to 6 weeks out for that district. “Realistically speaking, we’re going to have parts that are higher than 15 ppb,” Osborne said, citing the age of the building, which was constructed in 1952. “We’re definitely going to have something, and we’re going to work very quickly to fix it.” The samples collected must be 250 ml and taken from a cold water outlet where the water has been motionless in the pipes for a minimum of 8 hours, but not more than 18. The issues in Westport Central are relatively easy to mitigate, requiring the replacement of fixtures. But remediation in other districts, including ELCS, could be costly if custodians cannot lock down the exact source of contamination, Osborne said. “There’s a whole subset of procedures that custodians would go through before a deeper examination of the pipes,” Osborne said. If the contamination if found to be a fountain, the district will provide an alternative water source.

COSTS Osborne said the state will reimburse the cost of the testing through existing aid formulas. ELCS will test 110 sources at $15 per sample, not including labor. “It’s not a budget breaker, but certainly getting our building aid ratio on that reimbursement would be wonderful,” Osborne said. “We’re complying, we think it’s the right thing to do.” According to the governor’s office, schools, which typically have intermittent water use patterns, are more likely to have elevated levels of lead due to prolonged water contact with plumbing materials. Lead has been found to be harmful to young children and can result in lowered IQ, behavioral problems and brain damage. Schools constructed after 1986 are not required to conduct the testing due to federal statutes requiring the use of “lead-free” plumbing infrastructure. Districts will be required to collect samples every five years. The legislation also requires school districts to notify parents and local government officials.

Smart Growth grants awarded to Adirondack communities State funds will aid in economic growth, revitalization efforts across region By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE PLACID — Five local communities have received $231,000 in grants designed to support projects that adhere to the state’s Smart Growth program. The funds, announced by Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul last week in Lake Placid, will support ongoing hamlet revitalization, economic growth and environmental protection projects. Those projects include funding for a wastewater treatment system in Wilmington, construction drawings for the reconstruction an 18-century sawmill in Ticonderoga, funds to aid in the transformation of a former industrial site in Keeseville and an energy efficiency project for an Indian Lake theater. Saranac Lake stakeholders also received $50,000 for the proposed Adirondack Community Trails & Lodging System project, a hut-to-hut initiative that will develop a conceptual plan for potential trail networks with key locations for lodging facilities across the region. The supplemental round of awards using funds from the state’s Environmental Protection Fund join six others awarded to North Country projects since April, totaling nearly $400,000. “These grants help put the North Country on a path toward sustainability,” Hochul said. “Smart Growth is a critical objective in a region where the environment and tourism are paramount to its success.”

KEESEVILLE HAMLET RIVERSIDE PARK Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) said the $75,000, which they were awarded in conjunction with the town of Ausable, is helpful in their efforts to transform a slice of riverfront property into a public park, replete with green space and walkable trails. “We’re delighted to get this funding from New York State,” said AARCH Executive Director Steven Engelhart. “It’s been a pleasure to work with the town of Ausable in developing this project. It was really kind of heartening to see the state saw this as a Smart Growth project.” The total price tag for the proposed Keeseville Hamlet Riverside Park clocks in at $562,000, said Engelhart. While additional funding commitments have eaten into the total, the project still faces a $281,000 shortfall. Engelhart hopes the next round of consolidated funding applications, traditionally announced by the state in midDecember, will cover the rest. The land, which is now in private ownership, will be donated, and at least one structure — the low-slung overgrown building known as “The Red Mill” — will be demolished. State officials lauded the program “Each of the state grants will help these Adirondack communities fulfill important goals they’ve identified that might not be financially feasible otherwise,” said state Sen. Betty Little. While this year’s summer tourism season was very good, it doesn’t mean it can’t be better, Little said. “Once complete, the projects will help make the four

communities even more desirable to visit and will generate additional economic activity,” Little said. Past projects bankrolled by the funding stream include improvements to Essex County Fish Hatchery in Crown Point, stormwater infrastructure in Lake Placid and tech upgrades for Adirondack Harvest, the agricultural program overseen by Cornell Cooperative Extension that connects farmers to customers.

OBITUARIES

GabrielleÊ (Gabby)Ê M.Ê Lincoln JamesÊ RobertÊ McDonough (May 5, 1997 - Oct. 13, 2016)

JAY — Gabby M. Lincoln, 19, of Jay, NY passed away Thursday, Oct. 13, 2o16 with her loving parents and family by her side. Gabby was born in Plattsburgh, NY on May 5, 1997. She graduated from Ausable Valley High School in 2015. All that knew Gabby, and even for some that never met her in person, knew that she fought hard through many illnesses in her life but faced each day with a courage and fearlessness that inspired all those around her. In the words of a cherished teacher and friend, “Gabby was sassy, sarcastic, brave, stubborn, a fighter, courageous, loved, honest, tough, fabulous and determined.” Gabby’s sarcasm helped her to show up and not complain. She met each day with a tenacity that helped her finish high school and get a job all while waiting for a new set of lungs. While the new lungs did not last, they gave her a chance to experience life without an oxygen tank for the first time in years. She was able to venture out on a trip to the south with a close friend and this experience helped carry her through the last months of her life. Gabby lived her life without complaint and to the fullest. She never wasted time wishing she were given a different circumstance. She lived. Her motto was “suck it up” or get over it. She would want us to live, to follow our dreams and to accomplish all of the things that she wanted to do. Gabby is survived by her parents, William II and Anna Lincoln, her paternal grandparents William Sr. and Carolyn Lincoln her maternal grand parents, Harry and Patricia Mccray; and Eugene Novajosky. Gabby was the youngest child of a joined family and leaves behind the following devastated siblings: Elizabeth Mccray (Silas); Karyn Anderson (Steve); Leigh Ann Spooner (Chad); William III (Tabatha); Gregory Mccray (Kayleigh); Joseph Lincoln (Mckenzie); Emylee Lincoln, Sarah Lincoln. She was the favorite Aunt Gabby to Jillian, Alyssa, Damian, Brooklyn, Leila, Kendra, William IV, Gavin, Kallie-ann; Scarlett. She is survived by many close aunts, uncles and cousins. She was pre-deceased by a nephew, Charlie, and her paternal great grandma Dubay. Calling hours were held at the Thwaits Zaumetzer funeral home on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2016 from 1 – 4 p.m. with a funeral/memorial service directly following. Burial will be private and at the convenience of the family. Donations in her name can be made to either the Jay or Upper Jay Fire Departments.

KEENE VALLEY — James Robert McDonough and his beloved wife Ellen “Patsy” Jaques were laid to rest together at Norton Cemetery in Keene, NY on Saturday, Sept. 24. James Robert McDonough died on Aug. 17 2016, His wife Ellen predeceased him on March 4, 2009. The burial was officiated by Rev. John Yonkovig, Pastor of St. Agnes and St. Brendand Churches.

Belden Noble launches major renovations Following balcony restoration, library sets sights on major renovations ESSEX — Since its founding in 1899, the Belden Noble Memorial Library at Greystone Cottage has welcomed readers, researchers and budding booklovers of all ages. This thriving and lively old library will be the focus of a series of much-needed improvements in the months ahead. “Thanks to generous donors who contributed the required one-fourth of the funds up front and the tireless efforts of our past and present board members, we were able to secure a grant of $60,179 from the New York State Library Construction Program,” said Library Board President Colleen VanHoven. The total funds available, more than $81,000, will go to restoring exterior doors and windows, roof repairs, adding insulation, upgrading the electrical system, painting all exterior trim and creating an enlarged children’s room and a reading room upstairs. To follow the progress of future renovations, and to keep track of special programs and events, visit essexlibrary.org.

Schoolhouse << Continued from | p. 1

94986

It is deemed the oldest school standing in Essex County. And Westport historians want it to remain a treasure for generations to come. A brand new flag with all 50 stars fluttered in a stout wind over the historic place last week, the standard donated and raised by the Champlain Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. DAR Regent and local historian Jean Dickerson coordinated the commemoration after the group completed their historic preservation project, reclaiming the school’s interior, windows, walls and floors. Their detailed research delivered a glimpse from all corners: at preservation; the long history here; at the lives of teachers and students years ago. Eventually, the school became known as the District 8 Schoolhouse, sometimes called the “stone” school or Dudley Road School, one of a total 11 one-room schools in Westport, according to DAR member Margo Frisbie Marcus, a descendant of the Frisbie family that farmed early here alongside the Barbers at Barber Point. In telling part of its story, Marcus pointed out that the school’s windows were placed high in the limestone walls, set under long eaves to protect them from the wind, rain and bitter snow. “The littlest children had to stand on their desks to see out the window,” she chuckled.

Whether it prevented their daydreaming or gazing out as they might have at the long stretches of Westport’s rich fields, the early teachers, primarily women, earned a sparse salary. In her research, DAR member Sandi Craig found early records dating to 1856 that reported an annual teacher earned $41.50 here with 25 students. By 1900, Craig said, the teacher earned $208 per year and had 15 students. The teacher’s duties required daily sweeping and cleaning the room, starting the morning fire, and also preparing a hot soup or stew (with ingredients she provided) on cold winter days. The teacher often boarded with a local family to save the district money. And Westport residents only paid a school tax if they had students in a school, Craig said. That tax was set at 2 cents a day per child in school during the first years. By 1845, all town property owners contributed to the school tax. The old stone school had already weathered almost 30 winters. Marcus found records that show the last teacher here, Marguerite Quinn, had one student, Ed Barber. And his three children attended the commemoration last week, seated beside the repaired split-rail fence. Irwin Barber, 87, came with his brother Earl Barber, 76, and their sister Jessie Barber Sayre, who is 85. “My grandmother was always telling the story about

when he came home from school,” Mrs. Sayre recalled. “And grandma would ask him what they did. He told her he studied his books while she crocheted and wrote letters.” To attend school, DAR member Helen Brandt Eagle shared, most children had to walk one or two miles. It’s over a mile from the first homestead at Barber’s Point. “And the school was never closed because of bad weather.” An outhouse was built for a bathroom, stocked with pages of old Sears or Montgomery Ward catalogues, Eagle chuckled, holding up an antiquated catalogue. “I have mine here,” she laughed. A bucket filled from a local farmhouse well and hauled back to school provided water all day from a shared dipper. DAR research teams reflected on “recess” activities, played outside: Drop the Handkerchief or Blind Man’s Bluff. In bad weather, the kids played inside all together: Who Has the Button; Hot and Cold; or maybe Checkers, Eagle said. On Dec. 6, 1859, students here were roadside witnesses to a striking moment in American history as John Brown’s funeral cortege wound its way from the ferry at Barber’s Point toward Elizabethtown. Miss Elizabeth Stevenson was the teacher then, Eagle said. Classes — like writing, reading, history, arithmetic — were 15 to 20 minutes in length. The grades were lined up, first to eighth, with the youngest learners perched in front. For the Champlain Chapter DAR, reclaiming the school’s interior was a gratifying project, Dickerson said. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, part of the Dudley Road Historic District. The old shelves and windows were cleaned up, the floors scrubbed of decades of dust. An old tricycle graces one corner beside old lift-top desks. Cleaning and reorganizing took several months. Town of Westport crews repaired the fence outside and removed the old schoolyard tree that was failing. Nearby resident Monique Stephens garnered interest and donations from Dudley Road neighbors, and together they purchased an 18-foot red maple that will be planted on the school’s yard next spring. The ceremony marking the school’s bicentennial treasure ended with a few words of gratitude from Westport Supervisor Michael “Ike” Tyler. Essex County’s Board of Supervisor’s had offered a resolution honoring the caretakers of this place and its enduring history. The plaque was placed inside the school. And a new historic marker was erected beside Dudley Road. The building is not kept open year-round, and a special viewing screen in the entryway is designed to keep visitor traffic away from historic materials inside.

Agricultural energy program introduced WESTPORT — Farmers and professionals in the agricultural industry are invited to attend a workshop on Nov. 9 to learn about NYSERDA’s newest agriculture program. The Agriculture Energy Audit Program provides farms and on-farm producers with no-cost energy audits that include recommendations to improve energy efficiency. The program also helps participants access funding support to implement energy efficiency projects. An agricultural energy audit is an excellent tool designed to provide a foundation for understanding cost-effective energy management and is essential to reducing energy usage. This presentation will highlight the benefits of an energy audit, how to receive a no-cost energy audit through the program and what to do with the audit once you get it. Learn about the three different audit levels available and which one will benefit your operation. Think you can’t afford to upgrade equipment? This workshop will also discuss financial assistance opportunities once the audit is complete. From dairy farms to maple producers, energy audits can identify savings for all types of operations. To register or for more information about this workshop call Lisa Coven at 800-732-1399.

“Hopefully next year, we’ll be at 2 (percent),” Palmer said of the projected tax increase. The state tax cap doesn’t make planning easy for municipalities, he said. “The 2 percent is never 2 percent,” he said. “This year, it’s .6 percent.” Essex County’s 2016 spending plan clocked in at $96.5 million, with a 6 percent increase in the tax levy.

Gillibrand pitches plan to close broadband gap Legislation joins initiative to fully wire state by 2018 By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) wants to double the amount of federal broadband program funding and boost the amount of grants for underserved areas inside the Adirondack Park. “Our communities cannot compete if they do not have access to high speed internet,” Gillibrand said last week in Plattsburgh. Gillibrand introduced legislation last month with U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore (R-WV) to double annual funding for a federal Department of Agriculture broadband infrastructure program from $25 million to $50 million. The senator also pledged to increase in rural and high-need areas the amount of grants possible from 50 percent to 75 percent of a project’s cost. The lack of broadband, she said, leads to a competitive disadvantage for residents, health care providers and businesses, and is just as im-

portant as roads and electricity. But it’s often cost-prohibitive for providers to expand into rural areas, where expansion costs escalate during the “last mile” of construction. Gillibrand was joined by local service providers and elected officials, including Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, who likened broadband to oxygen. “If you don’t have it, you’re gasping for life,” Hochul said. Gillibrand’s proposed bill does not yet have a House sponsor. But if one is found, and the Senate passes the legislation, the funds would immediately be made available. “If we could pass it this year, it would be available right away,” Gillibrand said. STATE EFFORTS The proposed legislation joins the state’s New NY Broadband Program, which seeks to fully wire the state by the end of 2018 through a mix of public and private financing. “We are absolutely on track to achieve that,” Hochul said. “A lot of other states are going to be far behind us, they’re not going to have achieved that goal by 2018.”

The most recent grant funds for that program were announced in August when $6.2 million was awarded to four telecommunications firms, allowing for what the state said would connect 134,000 additional homes and businesses. A second round will address additional unserved and underserved homes and businesses, while the third and final phase of the program, designed to close out any remaining areas, is scheduled to launch in early 2017, according to the governor’s office. Westelcom CEO James Forcier said his firm applied for some of that funding. If awarded, he said the funds would allow the opportunity to revisit places in their current service area with low speeds and bulk up that infrastructure with fiber, which would improve the service. The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, through their firm Mohawk Networks, recently completed a $15 million broadband project that laid 68 miles of fiber to serve Akwesasne residents. A subsidiary, North Country Broadband, is currently deploying fiber in Lewis County by leveraging existing structures of 911 towers Additional state and federal funds would allow the provider to expand their test markets.

“We will be seeking similar test customers in your market, and we will be happy to provide the much-needed internet to the folks who are not getting it right now,” said Director of Economic Development Christopher Thompson. Slic Network Solutions has been one of the top recipients of state and federal grant funds, deploying numerous projects across Essex, Hamilton, St. Lawrence and Franklin counties since 2010, including Schroon, where work is currently underway after years of delays. Financing is just one hurdle among others, said Slic Vice President of Technical Operations Kevin Lynch. Weather poses a challenge during the installation process, as does selling the packages once the infrastructure has been installed. “It takes some education, and it takes some outreach to understand the benefits broadband brings to them,” Lynch said. PrimeLink CEO Greg MacConnell cited regulations and red tape, including those governing wetlands. “It’d be great if we could lessen some of those,” he said.
