hristmas is approaching fast, only nine days left. Please remember to shop locally, boosting the economy of our town. There are many fine sales going on in each of our great stores. The Elizabethtown Thrift Shop, our own little department store, is holding a Ò Christmas Room SaleÓ beginning this Saturday, Dec. 20 through Wednesday, Dec. 24. All Christmas decorations and tree ornaments will be 50 percent off. While there, make sure you check out all the other rooms for excellent gifts to finish that wish list. The day after Christmas, in the Ò Christmas Room,Ó the discount will jump to 75 percent off. Continuing through Jan. 2, take advantage of the sale, creating new decorating ideas for next year. Of course, the shop will be closed on Christmas Day and New YearÕ s Day, but beginning Thursday, Jan. 8, the shop hours are changing for Thursdays only. The first Thursday of each month, the shop will be open until 7 p.m. As usual, all other Thursdays of the month, they will close at 5 p.m. for the winter. Mark your calendar for the next collection day on Saturday, Jan. 24 with a snow date of

T
he Reverend John Hunn would like to invite you to a candle lighting service at the Essex Community Church on Christmas Eve at 11 p.m. As with many other church rituals during the year, Christmas coincides with a secular event, in this case, the winter solstice, when the days start to lengthen and day light grows slowly stronger. The solstice was observed by ancient peoples long before the advent of Christianity with festivities and bringing greenery into households, just as we have Christmas trees and wreaths today. The Reverend Hunn is one of my best correspondents who emails me about events at his church. If you have an event youÕ d like mentioned in this column, be it athletic, academic, agricultural or anything else, call or email before Sunday evening, because I write this very early Monday mornings. The Whallonsburg Grange will hold its last big public event of 2014 this Saturday with a huge holiday market. There will crafters, farmers and food makers, all offering items for sale. Local author Betsy Thomas-Train will be reading to children and you can certainly find a last minute holiday gift or something good to eat there. The market runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. While at the market, or any old time, please make a donation to the local food pantries which serve Essex, those in Willsboro, Eliza-
Westport SeasonÕ s Greetings to all and sundryÑ especially to seasonal residents who are joining us for a week or two (or, we hope, more) during the holidays. If youÕ re lucky, your driveway will be clear of last weekÕ s heavy, wet snow by the time you arrive! Although it wasnÕ t a lot of snow, only about a foot, the combination of moisture and high winds left many of us without power for hours or even days. Trees were down all over the place, and our diligent town DWP workers had their work cut out for them between plowing the heavy snow and clearing downed trees from many roads before they could get to them with the plows. Plus, they were shorthanded, as one driver was out sick (we all hope heÕ s feeling better!), so fire department personnel lent a hand clearing trees, too. The fire department was also paged out several times for trees down on power lines. I was chatting with someone about this over the weekend and was reminded that not everyone is aware that if a line is sparking you can call 911, and they will page out the volunteer firefighters, who will then keep the scene safe till the power company shows up. The power com-
Saturday, Jan. 31, from 10 a.m. until 12 noon at the UCC Parish Hall. If you missed Santa in E-town this past weekend, heÕ s stopping at the Lewis Town Tree celebration at the Lewis Fire Department on Friday, Dec. 19 at 6:30 p.m. HeÕ ll be riding into town by firetruck, so make sure you watch for his arrival. HeÕ s hoping to visit with all good little girls and boys up to age 10. Parents, make sure you bring your cameras for those excellent Christmas with Santa memory photos. After all our snowy wintery mix weather lately, itÕ s not too early to think spring! The Elizabethtown Social Center is already planning a trip to see the Broadway musical Ò PippinÓ at ProctorÕ s Theater in Schenectady on Sunday, May 31. Tickets are on sale now, they could make a great Christmas present. Call 873-6408 or visit online at info@elizabethtownsocialcenter.org. Remember, this Saturday, Dec. 20, the Elizabethtown Library AssociationÕ s story and craft hour for children age 3 to 5 from 9 until 10 a.m. Registration is preferred. For more information, call 873-2670. A parent or adult must attend with the child.
Rob Ivy • robhivy@gmail.com bethtown and Westport. While they are accepting non-perishable food items and toiletries, whatÕ s probably best is to just give them cash to purchase things needed most. Hunger is a fact of life, even here in the bountiful Champlain Valley, and most devastating and harmful to the most innocent among us, children. Please give them a thought when you open your wallet. We’ve gotten past the first snow storm of the season, and it was a tree-slaying, power linedestroying monster. My snow plowing tractor has had a fuel problem since last fall, and being an excellent procrastinator, I put off addressing it until the weather forecast forced me to the dealership for parts and advice. The repair involved removing the fuel tank, thoughtfully buried under the radiator, changing filters and blowing out fuel lines. I got it all back together, except for two annoying screws which probably werenÕ t necessary, and was bleeding the injectors just as the first flakes fell. The family that hunts our land and others report a very poor deer season this year. For some reason, they only saw does but not the bucks. They patrolled the woods, scanned the big fields and watched the apple trees to no avail. Maybe next year.
Colin Wells • WestportNYNews@gmail.com pany was ready for this storm, and I have to say that they showed up quickly when they were called during and after this last storm. And since IÕ m on the subject, itÕ s always a good idea to remind people that, as in other small towns around the country, your emergency responders here in Westport are all volunteers. In other words, if you call 911 for fire or medical (or anything other than police), the people who show up will be your friends and neighbors here in town who will be giving their time and effort for you. I try to put this out there especially during holidays, when folks who are accustomed to paid responders are more likely to be around. The volunteers in your fire department and ambulance squad always welcome your support, because our service would be impossible without it. If you would like to support your volunteer responders, you may send a check to the Westport Fire Department, P.O. Box 134, Westport, NY, 12993. You may also specify any part of your gift that youÕ d like to go to the ambulance squad. How about that? A gift that keeps on givingÑ back! Happy Holidays!

The North Country SPCA would like to remind you of our fundraising challenge for the month of December! From now until Dec. 31, every dollar we receive will be doubled up to $40,000. If you are considering a donation to our shelter, this is a great time to double your impact! Our snowmobile raffle date of Jan. 17 is swiftly approaching. Have you bought your raffle tickets? Enter to win a 1996 Arctic Cat 580. You can purchase one ticket for $5 or stretch your dollar further and get three tickets for $10! To enter, please email jhartley@ncspca.org, or call our shelter office at 518-873-5000. Our featured pet this week is Sherry, a pretty little Hound-Terrier mix who is only $25 to adopt during our December adoption special. Sherry was surrendered because she had more energy than her previous owners could handle. This perky pup can indeed be quite rambunctious, but when she has the opportunity to exercise, she quiets down, relaxes and becomes very manageable. Our staff take her for a walk, then spend time in the play yard. After running a few laps around the yard, Sherry is ready to listen and

W
ell, I hope you got to see the beautiful downtown lighted Christmas tree. Because of a recent snowstorm, it seems to have taken it out and tonight it was sadly dark. A big thank you to the local hardware store for donating the lights for the tree, very nice. ItÕ s hard to believe that in only nine short days it will be Christmas. Ready or not, it will be upon us. I guess one good thing is the last snowstorm has left us looking like the pictures on many of our holiday cards. Many thanks to our road crews for keeping the main roads open... but the storm did bring the community to a sloweddown pace for a couple of days. This is the time of the year when I feel the real reason for this holiday is centered around celebrating JesusÕ birth and spending more time in my church. Sadly, for several reasons, there are far too many empty pews in our church. The invitation is always open for interested persons to join us. We had a full house at our Sunday morning worship at the Senior Assisted Living Home. This brings great joy for us to come together each week for this time of worship. Then I got to stay and have lunch with a couple of the residents and it was very festively decorated in the dining room area. They seem to have many interesting activities there each week. The Willsboro Alumni Association had

he exhibit and sale of the photography of the late Andrea Knight is still going on at the Keeseville Free Library until Dec. 24 during regular library Winter Hours. This is a wonderful exhibit of a truly gifted artist. Remember as of Jan. 1, the Village of Keeseville is no more. All current water payments need to be made to the Village of Keeseville by Dec. 29 as the office is closed Dec. 30 and 31. Future water and sewer payments will need to be made to the Town of Chesterfield who also should be notified of any water emergencies. Sewer emergencies should be made to the Town of Ausable. I had another fantastic meal at Pleasant Corners and noticed signs that on Monday, Dec. 22 they will be closing early for a staff party and that they will be closed Christmas Day. DonÕ t forget that the Keeseville Methodist Church on Front Street has a thrift shop, the proceeds of which help them reach out to the

Janice Allen • 963-8912 • allens@willex.com planned to make a Christmas visit this past week, but had to cancel due to the snowstorm making it hard for some of our members to get there. They told me that they helped to decorate Christmas cookies this last week and then packed a special treat box for the residents. Holiday special programs are still scheduled, especially on Christmas Eve. The Essex Community Church is the only Protestant church to offer an 11 p.m. candle lighting service on that special evening. Other churches are also having special programs, but most are earlier in the evening. The Willsboro Methodist Church services in Reber will be at 5:30 p.m. and then in Willsboro at 7 p.m. with our youth taking part. IÕ m not sure of the time of the services for the other churches, but each church had a special service. It was exciting for me to learn that one of our former students, Ben Rowe, recently has been promoted up in the journalism world. So proud of you Ben. The ChildrenÕ s Memorial Garden group held their annual candlelight supper and service this past Sunday. This is a very comforting service where those in attendance can share about lost child, a very moving time and know that other interested persons are most welcome to be a part of this group. Happy Birthday to Rhonda Belzile (Dec. 24), James Russell (Dec. 24), Alberta Curran (Dec. 25), Kymberli Young (Dec. 26), Peg Schnieder (Dec. 27) and Jimmy Cushing (Dec. 30).

The Keeseville Methodist Church will also be having an event Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 6:30 with Santa and the meaning of Christmas. From 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Day, the Harkness Methodist Church will have a free Christmas Dinner. My congratulations to the recent area graduates from Clinton Community College and Plattsburgh State University, as well as all other college. The best to you on your future endeavors. What an amazing snow storm we had this past weekend. I thank the road crews and utilities companies that did such a great job of keeping us clear from all the snow. Hopefully not too many trees were damaged under the weight of all that snow, but right now the area is gorgeous with its rime coating. Have a safe week.

Hospital looking for works from local artists Works to be brokered by the Strand By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The newly re-branded UVM Health Network-CVPH is calling all artists, looking for local work to adorn their newly refurbished halls and walls. The Strand Center for the Performing Arts is brokering the ongoing sale of artwork to UVMHN-CVPH, and they are looking for artists in numerous mediums to submit their work for consideration. Christina Elliot, Gallery Coordinator at the Strand Center explains the process: Ò TheyÕ re putting their artwork collection together as they remodel so its more of a curated, professional look,Ó she said. Ò WeÕ re curating a set of works so it has a really strong visual front, and itÕ s not a hodge-podge.Ó The two main floors currently being curated are R5, which will consist of Abstract works, and R6, the hospitalÕ s orthopedic wing, which will feature works with an ooutdoor recreational theme. Ò ItÕ s a little bit of everything, and every size; photographs, pring media, mixed media and collages, paintings, even sculptural reliefs,Ó Elliot said. She says that the Foundation at CVPH, which is taking the lead on the artwork purchasing, is excited about the new direction the hospital is taking. This will be the second round of curated art purchases at the hospital, with more anticipated for the future.
Ò I think itÕ s just a great program thatÕ s continuing,Ó she said. Ò Right now weÕ re collecting submissions, and also going out to local and regional galleries and shows looking for work. Ò ItÕ s great to be able to buy art from local artists.Ó Information on how to submit work can be found on the Strand CenterÕ s website: www.plattsburgharts.org, or by contacting Elliot at gallery@plattsburgharts.org, or by phone at 563-1604.

Area animal shelters always appreciate volunteers, you will always take away more than you give.

Joyce Marcianti, Willsboro
Editorial unnecessarily inflammatory To the Editor: In regards to your recent editorial, Ò Essex Co. Digging Own Grave With Cemetery Takeover,Ó it is obvious that you did not know Vicki Dickerson when you concluded that this is a debate between two private citizens. Vicki is trying to right a wrong and has many supporters. Vicki is not the first or only person to ask the Essex County Government to right a wrong that their governing body passed in 1985. And if I am not mistaken, the reason that Essex CountyÕ s IDA was handling this deal in the first place is that this “widow” you speak of and her deceased husband were going to establish a business that would employ people. Why else would IDA be selling this property to them? It certainly does not make sense that IDA would sell it as just a private home. Did she and her husband ever operate a business out of this facility other than their own real estate business that only employed themselves? Nobody is taking her home away from her. The cemetery has no value to the owner. LetÕ s get the ownership back to where it belongs. While good journalism is about facts, and editorials are about opinions, opinions and arguments can be presented with less inflammatory language. This editorialÕ s use of remarks such as Ò brazen decision, kneejerk reactions to impassioned public speeches, reference to a widow, strip a landowner, and shameful, pry a graveyard, and elderly widowÓ was not your best reporting or editorial writing. Barbara Paye, Willsboro
Christmas thanks To the Editor: A great big jolly thank you to everyone who attended The Magic of Christmas in Essex on Dec. 13. We had such a wonderful turnout and itÕ s because of so many people who pitched in to make it a worthwhile and festive event. We would like to thank the following for their support: all of the participating vendors and downtown Essex businesses, Tom and Mary Ann Mangano for PR help, Emily Phillips and CEVE, Steven Kellogg and Pinkerton, Catherine DeWolff and the Town of Essex Highway Crew for clearing the roads at the last minute, Ted and Cathy Taylor for the donation of the Christmas tree, Jan
Electric dependent To the Editor: I donÕ t believe any of us realize how dependent we as a society have become on electricity. It is not until we donÕ t have it due to mechanical problems or weather like we recently experienced that we come to understand how important it has become to our everyday lives. When we no longer have it for any duration, we may start to grumble about about rough we have it, probably not even thinking about all of the people who are out day and night in all kinds of conditions working to get the lights back on. At this time, I would like to thank all of the NYSEG linemen and their supporting tree crews for their tireless work and sacrifice on our behalf. Thanks for a job well done,
Column embarrassing
Forrest Spaulding, Westport
To the Editor: The PublisherÕ s Column in the Dec. 13, 2014 issue of the Journal confused and embarrassed me. It was so off the mark that I briefly considered it could be satirical. The key to our all getting along, a most worthy goal, has at its core the need for us to try to empathize with each other, try to understand what anotherÕ s life is all about. You write that you are struggling to understand what is happening in Ferguson. Have you considered the source of the pent up rage that is finally (and sadly) finding release through some destructive actions? (It is worth mentioning that the vast majority of protests have been peaceful and law abiding.) My wife is black. She is more intelligent, and better educated than I, and has lived her entire life honestly and in helping ways. Yet she is always followed in a department store by the plain clothes private security guard. Do you have trouble, Mr. Alexander, understanding her rage? How would you feel in her situation? You resort to a ploy those of us who try to promote justice have seen hundreds of times. You cite something incidental to the issue as justification for it. An armed officer shot and killed an unarmed teenager! What does that have to do with whether or not he robbed a store (something for which he has not stood trialÉ not been found guilty, except by you)? You cite the Adrenalin soaring through both the police officer and the teenager. But the police are supposedly trained to deal with that, one way is by backing off until reinforcements have arrived. In New York City,

the supervisors, whose desks were festooned with jars of homemade pickles and candy canes. The following records will be made available: Deeds, orders, DBA certificates, mortgages, survey maps, liens, civil court actions, judgements, assignments and satisfactions, local laws, Adirondack Park Agency and Lake George Park Commission permits and general miscellany. But vital registrarÕ s records, including birth, marriage and death records, will not. Ò These arenÕ t our records to begin with,Ó said Provoncha. Patrons seeking access to those records should contact the state health department or the towns and villages in question. Death certificates recorded in deed books, however, will be viewable online. Information can be redacted by filling out a redaction form available in the clerk’s office or online. Provoncha said the writing has been on the wall for some time about societyÕ s increasing demand for instant access. Ò As time has gone on, the expediency is more of an issue,Ó he said. Ò Business is 24/7.Ó Requests that once took a full business week will now take minutes, he noted. Provoncha anticipates in $20,000 in windfall the first year. Money will also be saved on printer toner. Lawmakers praised Provoncha, Real Property Tax Director Charli Lewis and Treasurer Mike Diskin on Monday for their efforts this year. Chesterfield Supervisor Gerry Morrow also moved a resolution to commend Provoncha for the Liberty Bell Award he was awarded earlier this year from the Essex County Bar Association. COSTS The service will cost subscribers $30 per month. Printing fees are $.50 per document for subscribers and $5 for non-subscribers. Provoncha noted maps cannot be printed to scale from home. According to materials provided by the clerk’s office, the $90 per quarter fee ranks Essex County as the cheapest when compared to its counterparts across the state. Allegany and Madison counties, for example, charge $600 for the same service; Clinton charges $500 for Ò semi-annualÓ access; Franklin, $300 per quarter, and Warren, $150 per quarter.

where Eric Gardner was choked to death by the police, reinforcements were already there, and it was in clear violation of NYPD policy. But no matter because, as you are quick to mention, he was selling cigarettes illegally! I agree that there are people who will sometimes cite race inappropriately. But when you look at the arrest records, and the disparity by color in sentencing, here, too, you can understand the rage; but only if you are willing. Perhaps it would open your mind and heart to watch a short video of a (white) police officer asking a (black) man who is parked at a convenience store to produce his driverÕ s license (he was not suspected of having committed any crime). When he reaches in to get his wallet, the officer shoots him in the back. The Adrenaline did it, right? (http:// www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/25/sean-groubert-firedarrested_n_5879694.html). Or the (black) man who was walking down the street on a cold day with his hands in his pockets. He is stopped by a (white) police officer because “he looked suspicious.Ó There are many moreÉ hundreds more. I hope that, as you Ò É struggle to understand the outrage in FergusonÉ Ò you look beyond your own life, look to history and to the civil rights movement, and try to understand what oppression does to a person. And please stop asking the victims to respect their oppressor. Irv West, Thurman
Supports board’s cemetery effort To the Editor: This is to support the Essex County Board of SupervisorÕ s efforts to take back the cemetery that was used to inter residents of the former Essex County Home. IÕ m not a proponent of eminent domain but in this case, itÕ s appropriate. People who are buried there were under the care of Essex County the same as those currently residing at Essex Home in Elizabethtown. Those Souls were our neighbors; Veterans, farmers, business people, widows and widowers. There’s no flag to commemorate Veterans buried there. We must allow access to the general public who may wish to visit and fly the flag to honor the Veterans. When Essex County built the Horace Nye Home in Elizabethtown, the entire property was turned over to the Essex County Industrial Agency. The cemetery parcel should not have been sold. For some unknown reason it was included in the final sale. Nothing was done to rectify the situation until approximately five years ago. Randy and Vicki Dickerson brought the issue to the attention of the county. The property owner has allowed access for lawn mowing, but stopped work being done to clear and raise graves so names can be read. In a letter written to the Essex County Board the owner expressed that her attorney has expressed liability concerns with public working at the site. The cemetery property is of no real estate value. It canÕ t be sold; nothing can be done to raise equity. By holding this property the owner accepts liability because New York State guarantees public access to cemeteries. Absent equitable resolution with the property owner, the County has the responsibility to take the property. This taking will assure proper reverence for those buried there, uphold NYS Law and eliminate liability for the owner. Teresa Sayward, Willsboro

North Country nails down $63.4m in state funding By Pete DeMola
pete@denpubs.com ALBANY Ñ Ô Twas the fortnight before Christmas, when all through the state, all regions were stirring, awaiting their fate. Their proposals were sent to Albany with care in hopes that St. Cuomo soon would be there. Last week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo opened his toy bag and showered 10 region economic development councils across the state with $709.2 million in economic and community development funding. The shower of gold coins came from the fourth round of the Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) initiative, a measure Cuomo spearheaded in 2011 as a way to evaluate and advise the state on which development projects should receive state funding. $63.4 MILLION Following three consecutive years of coming out on top, the North Country dropped to sixth place, locking down $63.4 million in funds. In a prepared statement, North Country Regional Economic Development Council Co-Chair Garry Douglas said he realized it was unlikely that the region would take the top prize four years in a row. But, he noted, the funding will put a number of key priority projects on track for 2015. Douglas said he felt confident that Cuomo and his team will
continue to work with the council on other important regional projects, particularly infrastructure and broadband. In CuomoÕ s speech prior to the awards, which came after an extended volley of praise from elected officials, the state’s chief executive said New York historically never had a strategy on how to facilitate economic development, instead relying on Ò scattershotÓ programs that Ò wasted a lot of money, and quite frankly, accomplished very little.Ó Upstate had effectively been abandoned by past administrations, left to languish for decades, he said. Ò WeÕ re investing more in upstate New York than any state government in history.Ó On top of the $274 million disseminated to the North Country over the past three years, this yearÕ s haul brings the region to more than a third of a billion dollars of state investment in the development strategies and priorities that North Country officials have identified and targeted, noted Douglas. THE PROJECTS Sixty-nine projects across the seven counties in the North Country region are slated to be bankrolled by the initiative. Major local projects include: Adirondack North Country Association. $60,000 was awarded for the second phase of the Adirondack Regional Art Trail designed to Ò foster greater collaboration amongst artists, arts organizations and arts entrepreneurs to achieve broader recognition of the North Country region as a cultural destination.Ó Adirondack Shakespeare Company. $37,100 to strengthen marketing and communications by hiring a full-time marketing director and assistant. AuSable Forks Firehouse. $40,000 was given to the town of Jay to upgrade the AuSable Forks firehouse. BOCES. $100,000 has been awarded to outposts in Clinton, Essex, Warren and Washington counties to train 30 long-term unemployed workers in lean manufacturing and other skills. Champlain Valley Waterfront Improvements. $290,923 has been allocated to Essex County to advance priorities from the Essex and Clinton Counties Waterfront Plan. Projects are slated to include redevelopment of local waterfront revitalization programs in Crown Point and Schroon; completion of a hamlet expansion plan and construction of bike lanes in Wilmington (Clinton County, for their part, received $495,000). Lakes to Locks. $153,000 has been granted for a geotourism marketing initiative. Funds will be used to unify and market two regions to national and international audiences and develop sustainable tourism. Initial plans for the project envision the development of several key creative units, including interpretive exhibits and digital and mobile components. Mountain Lake PBS. $76,000 for their planned Tibetan Multimedia Performance and Arts Festival 2015 designed to enable Plattsburgh to be recognized by the international community, a measure organizers hope will bolster tourism and foster economic growth. (TheyÕ ve also been awarded $138,015 to produce a series of bilingual marketing videos, Ò Adirondack Journeys,Ó with the North County Chamber of Commerce.) North Country Regional Revitalization Fund. $5 million will be
earmarked to establish a fund that would assist transformational redevelopment, rehabilitation, revitalization, blight clean up and develop infrastructure projects in the North Country. Upper Jay Art Center. $49,500 has been awarded to hire a fulltime artistic director to Ò conceive, develop and implement the artistic vision and focus.Ó Westport Town Hall. $500,000 has been allocated to renovate the National Register of Historic Places-listed town hall and community building, which needs major renovation to address structural, accessibility and safety issues. Funds will also be used to improvement energy efficiency and “restore key historic elements.” In addition, $35,000,000 has been allocated for Ò low-cost economic-development financing,” a pot of money for tax-exempt bonds reserved for maybe-eligible projects that have not been specifically highlighted. Past funding has been awarded to the Hotel Saranac in Saranac Lake, Plattsburgh International Airport and Bombardier Transportation, also of Plattsburgh, to build railcars for New YorkÕ s MTA. However, earlier this fall, Bombardier announced 60 layoffs as a result of completing a contract with the Maryland Transit Authority. Ò Clearly, the state continues to feel very good about our progress and direction,Ó said Douglas, highlighting the regionÕ s renewed relationship with Albany and the strong collaboration among the seven counties that make up the North Country region. ESSEX COUNTY DEPUTY MANAGER PRAISED The REDC program is open to developers, companies, local governments and nonprofits, all of whom can apply for a variety of state grants and tax breaks for specific projects through what the state calls Ò consolidated funding applications.Ó During the most recent round, members of the councils traveled to Albany to make their pitches to assessment teams. Essex County Deputy Manager Mike Mascarenas submitted applications for 11 projects and received funding for eight of them. Projects are graded on a point system, he explained, with 80 percent of a projectÕ s score coming from a hodgepodge of state funding opportunities consolidated into one mechanism and 20 percent coming from the council. Mascarenas and his staff were unanimously praised by county lawmakers on Monday, Dec. 15 for their efforts. Ò WeÕ re just thrilled,Ó he said. Ò Without the support of the REDC, our communities would struggle to remain viable.Ó The top performer in this yearÕ s round of funding was the Mid-Hudson region, which nabbed $82.8 million. Once known as Ò member items,Ó the stateÕ s spin on pork barrel spending was squashed during former Gov. David PatersonÕ s tenure. In that system, which was ended due to the state’s financial crisis, funds were distributed through budget appropriations. The Valley News will have a full breakdown of the applicants and their projects in the weeks to come. For more information on the regional councils, visit regionalcouncils.ny.gov.

North Country leaders look forward to new legislative session By Pete DeMola
pete@denpubs.com ALBANY Ñ As the North CountryÕ s elected officials rest up before heading to Albany next month before the start of a new legislative session, they say theyÕ re primed to bring a North Country voice to Albany. Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas, who is taking over the New York State Association of Towns and Counties (NYSAC), said heÕ s looking forward to taking the helm of the local government advocacy organization. Douglas said he has singled out a number of issues important for North Country taxpayers, including an increase in funding for water and sewer infrastructure needs, lifelines for the regionÕ s emergency services departments and relief from unfunded mandates, including capping the amount counties are required to contribute to Medicaid costs. Also on the radar is increasing funds for indigent defense (in Essex County, those costs are scheduled to rise five percent next year) and modest social service reforms, including requiring more stringent requirements for those physically capable to do community service. Ò It is a moral boost for the recipient making them realize they are worthy and capable of doing things they may not of realized they could have,Ó said Douglas. Ò They may even pick up a trade and it just may save taxpayers money.Ó After downstate municipalities chime in with their needs, NYSAC will hammer out an agenda and bring it forward. Douglas said he has a good rapport with the regionÕ s representatives in Albany, including Assemblyman Dan Stec, Assemblywoman Janet Duprey and Senator Betty Little. Looking towards the Olympic region, Douglas said he looks forward to locking down funds to improve Olympic infrastructure, some of which no longer meets international standards. GOP CONTROL In November, Republicans gained control of the state senate outright, lending to an end of their slight coalition cobbled-together with support from several breakaway Democrats. Ò IÕ m looking forward to real majority, not just
a collaboration.Ó Little said one of her main focuses in on tax relief, including reduction of the estate tax. Ò We have to be more competitive and make it easier for people to stay in New York,Ó she said. Ò ThereÕ s so much more to do Ñ we have to compete with south, midwest and foreign countries.Ó Little said consumers place more of an emphasis on American-made products today because of the quality. Ò We have some good manufacturers in state and all of the suppliers who supply these things. We need to help and keep them here, grow them and provide more jobs. The Queensbury-based rep also supports Gov. CuomoÕ s two percent property tax cap. Ò The general public likes the cap,Ó she said. Ò I donÕ t see that being changed.Ó In addition, Little said broadband development is a top priority, a measure that will help both year-round residents and seasonal visitors. “We’re done a lot and need to finish it,” she said. The senator hired a new legislative director and has a few ideas of her own that she would like to bring forward, including legislation to better track automobile recalls. While the spate of legislation passed last summer dented the creeping heroin epidemic, Little also said sheÕ s also continuing to look at measures to further address the issue. How about the SAFE Act? With the newfound majority, Little said she sees incremental changes, including the repealing the proposed, but not yet implemented, background checks for ammunition. People still could go to Vermont, she said. Little cited a call from a Greenwich gun shop owner. “What are you keeping track of?” he asked Ò I donÕ t think has any effect whatsoever,Ó she said. Other elements of the legislation should be changed, like the mental health elements. And while Republicans want to expand charter schools, the domineering issue when it comes to education here remains the Gap Elimination Adjustment. Ò We said two years ago we wanted GEA eliminated in three years,Ó said Little. Ò WeÕ ve
got to get it done.Ó Earlier this month, Stec told Essex County lawmakers he was still fighting on restoring funding for the controversial measure introduced in 2010 to help close the stateÕ s then-$10 billion budget gap. Critics say the reduction of school funding is unfair and punishes rural districts. Stec said he anticipated no major changes this coming term. Ò ThereÕ s no game changers,Ó he said. Ò But I will continue to nibble at the edges.Ó Allocation of funds from the voter-approved Smart Schools Bond Act, a $1 billion measure to upgrade classrooms across the state, will also be discussed at the next session, which starts in January. Also on deck are significant ethics reforms. In exchange for lawmaker raises, Cuomo has floated the idea of restrictions on the personal use of campaign funds, increased control over daily stipends and other anti-corruption measures. New lawmakers will be sworn in on Jan. 6, while CuomoÕ s second inauguration is slated for Jan. 20.

Essex County supervisors pass 2015 budget Taxpayers to see 7.5 percent hike By Pete DeMola
pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The Essex County Board of Supervisors passed their 2015 budget on Tuesday, Dec. 9. Taxpayers will see a 7.5 percent tax levy increase following an all-day session designed to shine a final light on possible savings. County Manager Dan Palmer had originally delivered a 9.5 percent proposed increase to lawmakers as part of his five-year plan designed to reduce the boardÕ s reliance on their fund balance, or savings account. He reminded lawmakers that plan was created after a state audit spanked them for milking their savings to the brink of insolvency. Alternatively, a 21 percent hike this year would have put the county at two percent next year, Palmer noted. ÒT wenty-one and IÕ d be done,Ó he cracked, referring to what he predicted would be taxpayer outrage. The current plan is predicted to eventually raise taxes by 34 percent by 2018, when it would then level out at two percent. ÒN O SAYÓ Ò und balance is not a renewable resource,Ó Palmer told lawF makers. ÒW e can get to the point where we wonÕ t have it.Ó Douglas noted the rainy day funds have been used since 2004 to keep taxes at zero percent. Palmer said the county picks up the cost when taxpayers do not pay town taxes. ÒE very taxing jurisdiction is held harmless by the county,Ó he said. In the past, the county would borrow funds to fill in the gaps. ÒT his was not good practice,Ó he said. ÒU ltimately, there needs to be a certain amount of fund balance to cover other taxing jurisdictions.Ó The amount to be levied by taxes is $20,061,818 with an effective tax rate of $3.01. For those with homes assessed at $100,000, thatÕ s about a $20 hike. Palmer said when broken down, $2.43 comes from mandated expenses. The majority of the levy Ñ about $17 million Ñ is derived from state and federal costs like the New York State Retirement Fund, a contributing factor to the aforementioned fund balance dilemma. ÒW e have no say,Ó h e said. He also noted that New York is one of the two remaining states that continues to pay Medicaid costs. That number this year is $6.9 million, the maximum amount after the state issued a cap. LONG DAY Following a series of procedural votes, including one to override the state-mandated cap Ñ only Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston voted against Ñ the board spent much of the day discussing amendment requests from department heads and what to do with the monies shaken loose after months of discussions and reductions. Throughout the proceedings, purchasing agent Linda Wolf kept a running scorecard to track fluctuations in how reductions would affect the tax levy and fund balance. For several hours, the projected levy was stuck at 6.66 percent. ÒW e gotta do something about that baby,Ó s aid Douglas. Some requests were budget neutral, like disaster relief grants, that would not have affected final numbers. Others had clear budget impacts, which were presented to the lawmakers.
COUNTY BRASS GET COAL Most management personnel did not get their desired raises. Last month, the board created a salary sub-committee, a body that is slated to serve as somewhat of an appeals process for upper brass (the rank and file were treated to two percent salary bumps). Despite this, the board still opted to discuss each individual resolution in their thick packets, a process that carried proceeds late into the afternoon, even as a storm brewed and local schools began to dismiss students early. One after another, Palmer briefed lawmakers on each proposal, many of which were derived from an increase in workload and responsibility over the years without a corresponding pay bump. One after another, the board discussed bringing these cases before the salary sub-committee. And one after another, each was voted down, including a controversial request from one of the countyÕ s two election commissioners to go to full-time, a measure that would have also doubled their salary. Last month, election officials said the general election went off without a hitch. At one point during the proceedings, Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava asked for a reverse roll call vote to add variety to what was inevitably a chorus line of no votes spoken in various inflections depending on the level of lawmaker frustration. Vice Chair William Ferebee said the department heads deserved to be heard because of the work they put into their proposals. ÒI t just doesnÕ t show, in my opinion, respect for what theyÕ ve done,Ó he said. ÒI t just keeps wasting more time. We canÕ t make a decision even when weÕ re sitting here making a decision.Ó Palmer, who offered several requests of his own, said he likely would have presented his proposals differently if he knew the board was going to create a sub-committee. ÒI n fairness, in the frenzy of this budget, these raises would be better served by looking at them more closely,Ó h e said. ÒWh y not put everything on [GillillandÕ s] committee and go from there?” eventually asked Schroon Supervisor Mike Marnell. ÒS end them to GilliganÕ s Island,Ó s aid Scozzafava. ÒI donÕ t think everything was painted with one brush with this discussion,Ó s aid Douglas. Each supervisor is paired with a department in a buddy system. ÒI recommend each supervisor to go to their department and see what their needs are,Ó s aid Douglas. The defeated requests can be brought back as budget amendments next year, he noted. County Treasurer Mike Diskin was one of the few department heads present for the proceedings. When asked to justify his budget neutral resolution to bump the salaries of a pair of deputy treasurers whose pay he said was not comparable to their components in the clerk’s office, he balked: ÒI know what the outcome is going to be, so IÕ m not going to waste my time explaining it,Ó h e told the board. He explained the measure to lawmakers, who then promptly voted it down. HALF-MILLION QUESTION Lawmakers opted for a compromise solution as what to do with the some $514,000 in found money. About $370,000 went to reduce the tax levy, while $163,000 was applied to the fund balance. If the entirety of those monies were applied to the tax levy, it would have dropped it to 6.65 percent (but made the levy lower to work with during negotiations next year). “Your five-year plan has become six,” Palmer groaned. Palmer had advocated putting all of it towards the fund balance, the keystone of his five-year plan.
If done so, the tax levy would have been bumped to 9.5 percent, but the timeline for the plan would have been accelerated by one year. ÒI tÕ s a good budget,Ó said Palmer following the hearing. ÒW e reduced fund balance use a little bit. Overall, itÕ s fair.Ó The total budget comes in at $92,661,107. Among the cuts made in the 2015 budget were $494,794 in supplies and numerous requests for additional personnel. The sale of Horace Nye, which was sold to a private buyer in February for $1.8 million, lowered legacy costs by about $98,000. Palmer said previous cuts should also be highlighted. Since 2007, when he took over, county employees have been slashed by 23 percent. ÒI tÕ s important for people to understand weÕ re not just throwing a number at the levy and saying, Ô WeÕ re all good.Õ Ó He said the board also looked at consolidation of departments to get more done with less people, including the planning and youth bureaus. ÒI t isnÕ t a one-sided process.Ó
SHERIFF SHOT DOWN Despite a final push by Sheriff Richard Cutting, lawmakers threw a bucket of water on his modified request to hire two corrections officers and promote deputies to sergeant positions, a measure that would have had a $130,000 net impact on the budget. His original request was to hire six deputies for increased road patrols, which would have cost $403,811. Lawmakers indicated they would be open to such a measure in the future, but only after further study. ÒI f this passed, I would have to have an additional deputy in my office,” said Westport Supervisor Dan Connell. Cutting, citing the revenue generated by his department, 25 percent of which is created by transporting and housing federal inmates, said heÕ d been approached by members of the public who said support it. ÒI just want an honest look at this appraisal,Ó h e said. Marnell and Chesterfield Supervisor Gerry Morrow were the lone lawmakers who voted for the measure. ÒW e canÕ t give him half the tools to do the job,Ó said Marnell. ÒI f he wasnÕ t doing a good job, thereÕ d be someone else standing up there. Give him the support he needs.Ó MONKEY WRENCH Just as it looked as if the board had agreed on a budget, Preston moved a resolution to cap contract agencies, groups that receive partial funding by the county, to two percent of what was requested, a motion that set off a madcap examination of each organization, many of which remained unfamiliar to lawmakers. “What’s BRASS?” asked one. “What does the Adirondack Film Society do?” asked another. Ò There doesnÕ t seem to be any rhyme or reason,Ó said Scozzafava, wearing a bewildered expression, as each supervisor started discussing the organizations in their respective communities. Gillilland lashed out: If passed, Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) would be forced to go to four days per week and cease night and weekend activities, he said. “When this board first start slashing them, they’ve gone from 20 employees to five,” said Gillilland. “You’re shuttering doors on that agency.Ó Gillilland, who said he would abstain from a vote because his wife was a CCE staffer, said most other funding sources dried up, including grants from the recent Eat Smart New York program. Ò This will probably be the last year for CCE if this is implemented,Ó he said. Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington also appeared angry: Young people are flocking to the region to farm, he said, a measure that is driving the countyÕ s economy. That motion was defeated, but lawmakers passed a second resolution that kept funding at even levels from last year with the exception of CCE, the Adirondack North Country Association and several others. By the end of the night, tax rate of 3.01 percent remain unchanged for when discussions commenced that morning. HOW THEY VOTED Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas commended county officials on their work and said they deserved recognition from their constituents. ÒN ot everyone got what they wanted,Ó said Douglas, Òb ut it was fair and we did what our people elected us to do.Ó Douglas, Vice Chair Bill Ferebee and Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston opposed the final vote, while Newcomb Supervisor George Canon was excused. ÒPeo ple out there still want property tax relief,Ó said Preston, Òev en if theyÕ re not here hollering about it.Ó

consent before making such a report, and it is then up to local courts to act on the information. To date, health providers have reported nearly 40,000 such individuals in New York as being at-risk, with 278 of these identified as being pistol permit holders Ñ all of whom are at risk of having their pistol permits revoked during recertification. Nevertheless, there are a number of legal means of challenging the actions and determinations of licensing authorities, Wells said, and noted that a revocation as a result of a health provider report may not necessarily be permanent. A person can also reapply, she said. Locally, in Essex County, 79 people have been reported so far, with three holding a pistol permit; 217 have been identified in Clinton County with one individual possessing a pistol permit; 68 have been identified in Franklin County with one holding a pistol permit; five were reported in Hamilton County with none possessing a pistol permit and 229 have been reported in Warren County with four having pistol permits.

www.valleynewsadk.com York. It took effect March 16, 2013. Along with the recertification of pistol permits, the new law banned certain semi-automatic rifles, handguns and shotguns; demanded registration of certain so-called Ò assaultÓ weapons already owned and attempted to decrease the allowable size of ammunition magazines, though that section was later struck down as unconstitutional. Essex County Pistol Permit Clerk Stephanie DeZalia said the goal of the recertification includes keeping records of pistol permit holders updated every five years. While the state troopers have the lead on the process Ñ including obtaining the submission of an application in either paper or electronic form; reviewing the application and then approving it or forwarding it on to a judge for potential revocation Ñ county clerk offices will be responsible for correcting problem areas on permits, DeZalia said. That will most likely increase workloads for local clerks as foot traffic increases as a result, noted DeZalia. Matthew Morrison, who said he holds a pistol permit in Clinton County, said he is disgruntled with the process and said it is another example of the state harassing law abiding gun owners. Ò They make you go through this entire process when you originally get the permit - background checks and the like, and if you commit a crime, the court is made aware and they come after your permit at sex County 911 Dec. 12, at 11:30 a.m. He advised them that he had become lost while hunting on Split Rock Mountain.

Rangers escorted him back to his vehicle at 3:30 p.m. Visit DECÕ s hiking safety at dec.ny.gov/outdoor/28708.html and Adirondack Trail information at dec.ny.gov/ outdoor/7865.html for more information.

Unless there is a cost at the county level, the state does not plan to charge for recertification, Wells said. The county, according to DeZalia, will charge $3 for each amendment to a permit. While state troopers have yet to go live with a website dedicated to the recertification process, that will likely occur in the near future, Wells said.

The Week In Review
Girls’ basketball Keene 61, Minerva-Newcomb 57 MINERVA Ñ The Beavers came out the four-point winners of early season test against the Mountaineers on Dec. 9. Keene jumped out to an early lead after a 21-13 first quarter, but Minerva-Newcomb fought back to go into the half down one point. The Beavers build their lead back to seven after the third before keeping the Mountaineers at bay until the final horn.
