Mayor opens DEMS SEEKING TO DEFEAT meetings to STEFANIK JOUST TO councilors, ESCAPE FROM THE PACK public » Stefanik Cont. on pg. 15
Procedure change will not include City Code alteration By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
PLATTSBURGH | City committee meetings will be open to the public this year, a change in procedure that Mayor Colin Read says will allow for greater transparency. The shift from individual liaison assignments for each councilor to larger committee meetings open to both the public and any city councilor was unanimously approved by the Plattsburgh Common Council on Jan. 4. “I lament and really miss that we don’t have a better structure for committees within the City of Plattsburgh,” Read said at a public meeting last week. “I think this will be one step that will solve a lot of our biggest challenges, including simultaneously ensuring that the councilors are much more involved in the policy making in each department.” » Meetings Cont. on pg. 5

Farmers to share stories at winter event series The Wild Center invites local farmers to share their stories throughout January By Pete DeMola EDITOR

TUPPER LAKE | As the region sets into a deep freeze, several farmers are hitting the workshop circuit. The Wild Center in January will feature four local farmers as part of a weekly series designed to give producers the opportunity to share their stories with the public. The natural history museum’s mission has always been about humans and nature living together, said Simon Schreier, an interpretive programs coordinator. Food is a key plank in that: Where it comes from; who produces it, and how growing links into big-picture sustainability efforts.
“This rose out of a desire to show those farms and producers who even in the winter, provide healthy, sustainable and delicious food from farms here in the Adirondacks,” Schreier told The Sun. Vermontville-based Atlas Hoofed It Farm participated in the debut session last Saturday. This weekend’s session will showcase North Branch Farm, a diversified farm located in Saranac in Clinton County. The farm has a unique story. North Branch utilizes the agroforestry practice of silvopasture to ensure grass-fed beef production maintains the highest animal welfare and environmentally friendly standards. The figs, a centerpiece, have Italian origins. Owner Joe Orefice’s great-grandparents, Giuseppe and Antonia Orefice, acquired their fig tree from Faicchio, Italy in 1938, Giuseppe’s birthplace located east of Naples. Every spring, Giuseppe would plant his tree at his Connecticut home. “(Orefice would) harvest the sweet purple figs, dig up the tree in the fall, wrap the roots

Council spars over appointment Common Council unable to reach an agreement on mayor pro tem position By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
PLATTSBURGH | The Plattsburgh Common Council failed to appoint a mayor pro tem last week, a position given to a council member that gives them the power to both assist and fill in for the mayor if he is unable to perform his duties. A squabble over the position erupted at the council meeting on Jan. 4, with one councilor accusing three others of conspiring against the mayor by failing to back his nomination of Councilwoman Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1). “She is the person I know the mayor would
prefer in this position, and I would too,” Councilman Michael Kelly (Ward 2) said. The abolishment of four city departments last July resulted in three split votes from the Common Council. Since then, tension has escalated between council members, with some questioning why the proposals were so abrupt and citing a lack of transparency surrounding plans to replace each departments’ services. Last January, Councilman Joshua Kretser (Ward 6) was appointed mayor pro tem after Kelly’s nomination of Armstrong failed to reach a majority vote. “You did that because of your dislike of (Mayor Colin Read),” Kelly told his colleagues. “Maybe you felt as if you were shortchanged because he won and your candidate didn’t, I really don’t know.” He pointed to Councilors Becky Kasper (Ward 5) and Kretser as “disruptive” — noting that the two were Democrats like him, and they should all support one another.
The Plattsburgh Common Council failed to appoint a mayor pro tem last week, councilmembers sparring over who should fill the position. Photo by Elizabeth Izzo “I think you’re doing a disservice to Rachelle, whom I respect greatly,” Kasper replied. “I believe councilors should step up and exercise different responsibilities at different times. “I really have a problem with you characterizing the democratic process as being so disruptive as to be morally wrong. Certainly the democratic process is disruptive, but it’s not morally wrong, and if we stop exercising it, we’re just giving in.” The nomination for Armstrong failed to be seconded.
Armstrong then seconded her own nomination. The final vote came to 2-3, with Councilman Peter Ensel (Ward 4) absent. Kasper then nominated Councilor Dale Dowdle (Ward 3), seconded by Kretser — the three voting in the affirmative, with Kelly and Armstrong voting no. This second nomination also failed. Without Ensel, the council was unable to reach a majority vote, effectively tabling the appointment until Jan. 11, after this edition went to print. ■

City of Plattsburgh taps legal firm to explore lost power plant revenues Stafford Owens will investigate whether renegotiated PILOT constitutes an “improper diversion of funds” from city to town By Pete DeMola EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | The City of Plattsburgh is hiring a legal team to drill down into what city officials allege is a discrepancy in the renegotiation of a payment in lieu of taxes agreement (PILOT) between Saranac Power Partners (SPP) and the Town of Plattsburgh. The City of Plattsburgh has tapped Stafford Owens to investigate whether this lost revenue constitutes an “improper diversion of funds away from the city to the Town of Plattsburgh,” according to a statement from City of Plattsburgh Mayor Colin Read. The city has directed the firm to “take all actions necessary” to obtain information regarding the town’s “acts and omissions” and to take “prudent action to preserve the city’s legal rights.” Stafford Owens, which counts ex-U.S. Rep. Bill Owens as a partner, served the town a notice of claims last week and demanded that the town comply with a Freedom of Information Law request to shed light on the complex agreement. A recently renegotiated agreement cov-
ering the final six years of SPP’s PILOT agreement with the town and city sees a reduction for both entities. But Read is chafed over a renegotiation in 2009 that he claims saw the town covertly carve out special districts, a measure that redirected some $280,000 in revenues annually, or $1.6 million over a six-year period. The number is scheduled to decrease this year to $182,000 annually until 2023 — that’s about $1 million over six years — at which point the power plant, formerly known as Falcon Seaboard, will go onto the tax rolls and the payments will terminate. Read alleges the deal has plunged the city into fiscal uncertainty, costing a total of $14 million in lost revenue since the original agreement was developed in 1992 after the city threatened to annex the power plant. “Once we can ascertain what happened with our agreement, I’m confident our new leadership in the city and the town can work together to resolve this issue amicably, as we continue to work together to create opportunities for our entire region,” Read said in a statement on Sunday. City officials have stopped short of alleging illegality, but have maintained the process doesn’t smell right. While the town admits a renegotiated deal, officials have argued the process has always been transparent. Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Michael Cashman, who wasn’t in the office at the time, said he offered to share documents with Read and the city’s counsel after the issue became public at the end of 2017. But instead of sitting down, the city has lawyered up, a measure that he said took
BERKSHIRE FARM CENTER & SERVICES FOR YOUTH
him by surprise. “The Town of Plattsburgh has a table, the city has a table, let’s bring all documents together and do a shoulder-to-shoulder comprehensive review to get an understanding of the material in front of us,” Cashman told The Sun on Sunday. “I think there’s a good faith opportunity to sit down and review the materials together.” The mayor has not come and reviewed the materials, he said. “I did not receive suggested dates for the upcoming week to sit down and have those
conversations,” he said. “All town documents are available for review, and have been available from the get-go.” Cashman also criticized the cost of hiring a legal team — especially when the city is in fiscal trouble. But both officials agree on one thing: Neither were in office at the time. “I was 12,” Cashman said. Read said, “Neither the supervisor nor I created this problem, but we can certainly work together to understand and solve it.” ■

Plattsburgh lawyers pen ‘no fault’ insurance guide Book gives guidance on insurance system for car crash victims By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
NO FAULT
COVER YOUREXPENSES AFTER A CARCRASH
PLATTSBURGH | Over the years, lawyers Mark Schneider and Drew Palcsik have gotten calls about all sorts of things. Personal injury. Social security. Car crashes. It’s the latter that spawned the idea behind the duo’s new book, “No Fault: Cover Your Expenses After a Car Crash.” “No fault” insurance can cover up to $50,000 in medical bills, lost wages and other costs associated with car crashes. To claim the money, victims need only to know how the application process works, according to Palcsik. No lawyer required. The plain-speak book details how to navigate the legal process of filing a claim, with blocked “key points” scattered throughout to highlight important information. “Even though many people may not need a lawyer after a crash, they still may not know what to do next,” Palcsik said in a statement. “All insured New York drivers have no fault, and can cover many expenses after a crash. “We wanted to help people understand what it

is, what it covers and how to apply.” New York state is one of 12 states that offer no fault insurance, or personal injury protection, according to a news release from the pair’s law office. The state law is designed to provide victims of a car crash with prompt payment, according to the state Department of Financial Services, regardless of who is at fault or whether there was any negligence. Palcsik and Schneider are making the 40-page guide available for free. “We have books in our office that explain no fault insurance, but they are over 700 pages long,” Schneider joked. “We wrote a book that can give people useful information they need to fi le their claim. We made it a point to avoid legal jargon at all costs, and if we did need to use it, that we defined the words in the glossary.” In the book, the two lawyers write about the benefits of no fault, how to file a claim and what drivers can do if their claim is denied.

Hall takes deputy chair, Waldron named majority leader By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
PLATTSBURGH | Clinton County Legislator Harry McManus (Area 1) was reappointed as chair of the legislature, the second time he will serve in that position since first taking office 10 years ago. Legislator Patty Waldron (Area 6) nominated McManus at the legislature’s organizational meeting on Jan. 3, and the reappointment was unanimous. “I look forward to serving this year with you as chair,” Waldron told McManus. Legislator Robert Hall (Area 10), who previously served as majority leader, this year was unanimously appointed deputy chairperson, a post previously held by Leg» Farm Cont. from pg. 1 in a burlap sack, and store the tree for the next season in his basement,” according to the farmer’s website. The annual process ignited a family tradition that now continues in the Adirondacks. “People don’t get a lot of opportunity to showcase what their farms are doing,” Orefice said. “We’re all proud of uniqueness of our farms. To show that is going is to be a good
islator Pete Keenan (Area 5). Keenan told The Sun that the appointment came as no surprise, and that he’d spoken with Hall about it a few weeks prior. “I talked to Hall and he said he wanted it. I said ‘I’ll step aside,’” Keenan said. Legislator Sam Dyer (Area 3), a Democrat, stepped down from the legislature on Dec. 31 to take his seat as the new Beekmantown Town Supervisor, leaving a vacancy. With Dyer gone, Democrats still hold the majority 6-3. To replace Hall as majority leader, McManus nominated Waldron, who was also unanimously appointed. Waldron, the only woman currently serving on the legislature, was re-elected to a second term this past November following a hotly contested race for the Area 6 seat. She faced off against challenger Robert Butler, who’d previously served on the legislature but was term-limited out in 2013. “I think you do one hell of a job,” Hall told Waldron.
opportunity.” Schreier was surprised at how many food producers there are in the region, and the closeness of the community. Each grower in the series will bring something different to the table for the two-hour sessions, which will include food tastings prepared by the museum’s in-house cafe. It’s a chance, Schreier said, “to really tell their personal story and connect with people

One councilor will be appointed to chair each committee, and another chosen as a member. Read asked councilors to nominate themselves to the assignments they’d prefer, and said that formal appointments would be made in the coming month. Councilor Dale Dowdle (Ward 3) asked Read if this meant that the city would seek to change the charter, specifically section C3-9, which restricts communication between councilors and department heads without direction and supervision of the mayor. Dowdle said that portion of the charter has been “left open to interpretation.” The city’s legal advisor, Dean Schneller, said that the mayor would be in the room during committee meetings in accordance with the charter. Read later told The Sun that there would be no corresponding change to the charter.

Future looks From the Editorial Board bright for locally- State must cut spending in wake owned media of brutal budget forecast
The past year was an encouraging one for The Sun as we continue to grow and fill in the service voids left by other media, whose priorities seem to be elsewhere. By Dan Alexander In the winter edition of the Amer• PUBLISHER • ican Prospect, Robert Kuttner and Hildy Zenger do an excellent job of explaining what’s been taking place in our industry and why so many media companies seem to be fading and shirking their responsibilities at a time when it would seem we need them the most. The internet isn’t the primary reason for declining local media, but rather local media ownership and their operational purposes are the reason for the decline. Here are some excerpts and the link to the entire article: “The real tragedy for the civic commons is occurring at the level of regional papers. Local dailies and weeklies are in a slow death spiral. Operating losses cause owners to lay off staff and shrink content, further depressing readership and ad income, leaving little to reinvest in digital. “This story is all too true, but it leaves out one major player. Private equity has been gobbling up newspapers across the country and systematically squeezing the life out of them to produce windfall profits, while the papers last. The cost to democracy is incalculable.” Robust civic life depends on good local newspapers, the report argues. “Without the informed dialogue that a newspaper enables, the public business is the private province of the local commercial elite, voters are uninformed, and elected officials are unaccountable.” The authors go on to ask if private equity is any worse than traditional chains. “The big chains like Gannett, McClatchy, and Cowles got overextended and made some bad business decisions in the decade before the collapse, resulting in severe downsizing,” the report determined. “But some of these owners retained a commitment to newspapers as a public calling.” Bernie Lunzer, president of the NewsGuildCWA, said the traditional chains had to downsize. “But they still thought like newspaper people— what sustains the product and the community,” he said. “With private equity, it’s about squeezing out the 20 percent and anything goes. Use it up, sell it, or just kill it. The profit is the product.” “In isolated corners of the United States, community journalists are succeeding at keeping independent papers alive.” An informal survey of independent weekly publishers found them reporting profit margins ranging from 2 percent to 15 percent—but all of them were profitable. The entire article can be found at prospect.org/ article/saving-free-press-private-equity. The Sun falls into one of these isolated corners and has every intention of fulfilling its mission to serve the local region. We have the skilled staff, equipment, and only need your support to keep our efforts expanding in the years ahead. ■

For the past year, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been on a warpath, leading a crusade against what he views as a “federal assault” on health care, the environment and social justice issues. The governor was dealt a resounding defeat last month after the president signed the federal tax reform bill into law. But following months of lobbying against the bill, the governor is not giving up. “We have not yet begun to fight, my friends,” he told attendees at the annual State of the State address last week. The event is usually an avenue for the governor to outline his vision for the year ahead and give the legislature their marching orders. But his address was heavy on lightning bolts hurled towards Washington, D.C. GOP lawmakers scoffed at the clear nod to his rumored 2020 ambitions. All of the rhetoric was there. The tax bill is “trickle down on steroids.” It’s “an economic dagger pointed at the heart of New York,” and is a concentrated transfer of wealth from blue states to red ones, he said. The governor has reason to be furious. High-income earners will certainly be hit in the pocketbooks with the rollback of SALT, which means the federal deduction that people can take for state and local taxes is now capped at $10,000. The reduction will effectively raise property taxes by 20 or 25 percent for wealthy homeowners, the governor said, and will lead to an exodus from the Empire State. It also has the side effect of eroding
one of the two-term governor’s signature accomplishments, which is wrangling the state’s high property taxes into control. Cuomo floated the idea of a lawsuit, calling the repeal unconstitutional and a concentrated effort to punish liberal states like New York, New Jersey and California who voted against Trump. That’s on shaky legal ground, say experts, as is his trial balloon to reduce reliance on the state’s income tax in favor of a statewide payroll tax on employers. But obscured in the governor’s cloud of gloom is the fact that middle-income households will actually see a tax cut this year Those earning between $49,000 to $86,000 will see an average cut of $930, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. Instead of threatening lawsuits and exploring tax code workarounds, what the state should really do is reduce spending. Cuomo has hammered the state’s Republican delegation for voting for the bill, and he has hammered the lawmakers who voted against it, anyways, claiming they should have done more to stop it. Th is includes Elise Stefanik, who the governor said last month should be doing more to work with local governments to reduce property taxes. She has. It was called the CollinsFaso Amendment, which would have relieved counties of paying Medicaid shares to the state, long a chief complaint of local officials. County executives welcomed it, but the governor railed against in similarly apocalyptic language at the time before the health care bill it was attached to

Higher gas prices in Elizabethtown: Need or greed?
To the Editor: So, a month ago a local fellow said to me, “We’re getting screwed on our gas prices in E’town, do you know why?” I responded, “No, I guess I don’t know why or if it’s even true.” But now I do know — sort of. On Christmas Eve, I was in Plattsburgh and filled up my car at the Cornelia Street Stewart’s Shop at $2.55 per gallon. I had earlier noticed the South Catherine Street Stewart’s price was $2.52 per gallon. Across the street from where I filled up, the Sunoco price was $2.57 per gallon and Sam’s Club was $2.47 per gallon. Back in Elizabethtown, the Stewart’s Shop price was $2.69, with the Sunoco Station price of $2.70, which was 23 cents more than the cheapest in Plattsburgh. A bit of research revealed that gas pricing is influenced by several factors, location being the leading issue. The distributors and station owners price gas based on traffic patterns, immediate area affluence, nearby competition, sales volume, delivery costs, property costs, and in the case of convenience store/gas stations, other sale volume.

went down in flames. He can’t have it both ways. While the cause of the state’s high property taxes can be attributed to many things, it’s hard to ignore the state’s generous safety net. To be fair, there were some moving parts to his speech, including Cuomo recalling his father and his brand of “pragmatic progressivism.” Cuomo the Younger defined this as restoring confidence in government by delivering practical accomplishments: “People need food, people need housing, people need education, people need justice,” Cuomo said. “They don’t need theoretical progressive politics, they need practical politics, actual politics, that makes a difference in their lives because they’re suffering today and they need life made better for them.” It’s all very noble sounding, but as the state faces a $6 billion shortfall, shouldn’t we dial some of that back? There’s a lot to admire in the governor’s ambitious agenda, including measures to curb sexual harassment, improve the state’s infrastructure and invest in clean energy. But the state must take a scalpel to its generous social programs instead of filing a lawsuit and reworking its entire tax code. And instead of beating up on local governments for high property taxes, the state should bring school districts, the chief driver of escalating property taxes, into the conversation when it comes to sharing services. -The Sun Editorial Board ■
In situations like Sam’s, it appears to be questionable to lowball gas prices in hopes of making it up on other sales from nearby big stores. In Elizabethtown, prices are 23 cents higher because they can do it if they wish, but it’s difficult to determine if it’s need or greed. Ken Fenimore, Elizabethtown ■

Dyer signs off from Clinton County County legislator leaves vacancy, chosen appointment undecided By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
PLATTSBURGH | Sam Dyer bid farewell to the Clinton County Legislature last week with an emotional goodbye to his colleagues as he prepares to take his seat as the new Beekmantown Town Supervisor. “This is a job that I’ve enjoyed. Thank you,” he said at the county meeting on Jan. 3. “It’s a little tough, but you don’t know until you sit here what it entails and what you need to do. “I think Beekmantown needs me more than Clinton County. That’s why I did this.” Legislative Chair Harry McManus (Area 1)thanked Dyer for his service, a sentiment
Legislator Mark Dame (Area 8) also echoed. “Sam has been a special friend and colleague,” he said. “I wish you well in Beekmantown. I know you’ll do well.” With Dyer’s term originally set to end in 2019, the outgoing lawmaker will leave a vacancy on the legislature to be filled by appointment or a special election. Who exactly will fill his seat — representing the towns of Beekmantown and Chazy as a representative of Area 3 — was undecided as of Jan. 3. “Nothing new,” McManus told The Sun when asked if the legislature had yet made a decision on an appointment. “We’re expecting to make a decision next week.” According to a local law passed in 1995, the legislature must appoint someone from Area 3 to fill the vacancy, by majority vote, within 30 days. If they fail to do so, a special election must be held within 90 days. A cache of residents and local officials from the Town of Chazy called on the legislature to hold a special election in late-December, citing the need for public input.
Dyer’s departure from the legislature follows a hotly contested race for Beekmantown’s
top slot, the county official facing off against newcomer Norman Davis. ■

Ex-county lawmaker accuses county elections commissioner of nepotism Legislator accuses commissioner of violating county anti-nepotism policy By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
to formally create the position. “That’s against the county nepotism law.” Dyer’s wife, Mary Dyer, is the county’s Democratic Board of Elections Commissioner. “The same could be said of you,” Legislator Mark Dame (Area 8) told Dyer. “I don’t see much of a difference.” “That’s not even the same department,” Dyer shot back.
POSITION STILL OPEN
PLATTSBURGH | Former Clinton County Legislator Sam Dyer has accused an election commissioner of violating the county’s anti-nepotism policy by hiring his wife to a temporary Clinton County Board of Elections position. Dyer, who stepped down last month as the lawmaker representing Area 3 following his election as Beekmantown Town Supervisor, said at the legislature’s regular session Dec. 27 that Republican Board of Elections Commissioner Gregory Campbell planned to hire his wife to fill a temporary part-time position. Dyer, a Democrat, said doing so would be in direct violation of the county’s anti-nepotism policy. “That’s Campbell’s wife,” he said, of the county resolution
Campbell defended his decision. “She has worked here in the past and has helped us out when we’re short a position,” Campbell told The Sun. “Whoever fills the position has to be a Republican, and it’s part-time, so it doesn’t have benefits. It’s difficult to find someone to fill in.” The Clinton County Legislature approved the creation of the election specialist position on Dec. 27. Personnel Department Director Kim Kinblom told The Sun last Tuesday the $16.94 per hour position hasn’t been formally filled, and will remain on-call until Campbell can hire someone to fill the slot, which has been open since last July. Minority Leader Jonathan Beach (Area 2) told Dyer that the resolution on the legislature’s docket was to approve the

BRIEFS
creation of a position — not to hire any specific person. “I agree with the position, but I disagree with the person,” said Dyer, who led the county personnel subcommittee.
NO DIRECT SUPERVISION
Family members can be hired within the county as long as they are not supervised by another family member or are not directly supervised by a family member, according to county’s anti-nepotism policy. According to Campbell, his wife won’t be under his direct supervision: “She answers directly to (Deputy Republican Commissioner Jodi Currier).” But whether Campbell is in violation of the policy or not is under the oversight of the Personnel Department, not the legislature. The county policy also says that a department head may appoint a family member within the department — if the department head does not participate in the hiring process, including interviews. “If there was an issue, it could be brought to the attention of the Personnel Department,” Kinblom said. “But nobody has been hired into that position.” ■

Stewart’s Holiday Match raises $1.9m Funds to benefit local children’s charities
SARATOGA SPRINGS | Stewart’s Shops’ 2017 Holiday Match program raised $1.89 million for local children’s organizations, setting a record for the program for the fourth consecutive season. From Thanksgiving day through Christmas day, Stewart’s customers donated $945,000 to the program, approximately $19,000 more than 2016. Each individual donation is matched penny for penny by Stew-
art’s Shops. There are no administrative costs and 100 percent of the funds benefit local, non-profit children’s organizations. “This program is proof that your small change can really add up, and make a big impact on local kids,” said Stewart’s Shops President Gary Dake. “Teaming up with our customers to support our communities is just another reason why we say, we are closer to you.” The program has raised nearly $26 million to date. Over 1,700 children’s organizations received holiday match funding from the last campaign. “The success of the Holiday Match Program continues with the hard work of our shop partners and the generos-
ity of our customers,” said Stewart’s Foundation President Susan Dake. “Together we will help thousands of children with organizations that will support children year-round.” Children’s charities can apply for funding from the holiday match program through Jan. 31. Organizations can fill out an online application at stewartsshops.com or pick up a paper application at any shop. All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18, and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization. A brochure listing charities that received holiday match funding last year is available at stewartsshops.com. Funds will be allocated in March. ■
DEC survey targets freshwater anglers Information collected will help guide future freshwater management
ELIZABETHTOWN | The New York state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is sending out a survey to anglers who purchased a freshwater fishing license this year. Last conducted in 2007, the statewide freshwater angler survey is designed to help DEC fisheries managers better understand where anglers are fishing, what they are fishing for, how many days they spend on the water, and what they spend their money on. It also provides managers with insight into anglers’ preferences, satisfaction, and opinions on management topics. Expenditure information provided by anglers will also help DEC better quantify the benefits of freshwater fisheries with respect to the state economy.
“New York State abounds with an amazing diversity of freshwater fishing opportunities in each of our 62 counties,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said in a statement. “From remote Adirondack brook trout ponds and streams, to trophy Chinook salmon fishing on Lake Ontario, our state offers some of the finest fishing in North America. Feedback from anglers is critical in helping DEC better manage the state’s freshwater fisheries, and I ask that every angler who receives an invitation to participate in the survey.” Unlike past surveys that have been conducted using a questionnaire delivered through the U.S. Postal Service, this survey will primarily utilize emails sent to a sample of license buyers, directing the recipients to an online survey questionnaire. Survey questionnaires will also be mailed to a smaller group of anglers to allow for comparison of the two survey methods. Emails inviting anglers to participate and mailed survey questionnaires will be distributed during January 2018, and anglers are strongly encouraged to participate in the survey. Results of the survey will be provided in spring 2019.

‘Healthy Neighborhoods’ lands in Beekmantown this month Clinton County Health Department continues mission to provide residents with health education, safety supplies By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
BEEKMANTOWN | The Clinton County Health Department is coming to your door, and they bring good tidings of a community made safe through attention to first aid, fire
prevention, air and water quality. Every three months, a team of health educators make the rounds of residences in a select town in Clinton County. After a brief survey, they offer homeowners help with everything from asthma to carbon monoxide and radon testing. This quarter, it’s Beekmantown’s turn. Mary Ann Barto, a public health educator, is one of the employees that Beekmantown residents may see on their doorstep in the coming months. “We usually knock on the door and tell them about the program, and we can do the survey on the spot if they’re comfortable with that,” Barto told The Sun. “We often hand them a little flier and give them a synopsis of the program, and they can set up an appointment with us. “We come in, sit down and do the survey
with them. The survey gives us an overall look at which of our products would be most useful.” Barto’s work doesn’t stop there. She and her team are constantly updating their safety recommendations, attending conferences to learn more information to bring back to residents, and make referrals to other community resources if they notice someone needs additional help. “We look, overall, at the appropriate things to give people,” she said. “A lot of people think that we just go out into the field and give them stuff. That’s a big piece of it, but there’s a lot more to it.” The program is open to all residents of Clinton County, regardless of which town the team is currently working through.
The program offers a variety of products free of charge, from carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, first aid kits and flashlights, to asthma safety materials. The county’s Healthy Neighborhoods program is part of a larger program funded by the state Department of Health. Barto recommended that residents keep up with the program, make an appointment every six years and have a member of her team make a house call. “We try to have our door open as much as possible,” she said. “We want our community to be healthy. We want our community to be safe.” For more information about the Clinton County Healthy Neighborhoods program, call 518-565-4870 or visit clintonhealth.org. ■

Councilor floats neighborhood watchtype program to aid in snow removal Armstrong seeks to kickstart “good neighbor” approach as work on revised sidewalk law continues By Elizabeth Izzo STAFF WRITER
PLATTSBURGH | A city councilor has abandoned a plan to explore whether some property owners should be exempted from the
city’s current sidewalk snow removal policy. The ordinance requires all property owners to remove snow from sidewalks adjacent to their property after major snowfall within 24 hours. Councilor Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1) was slated to present a plan for exemptions from the policy for those physically unable to comply on Jan. 4, but has chosen instead to spearhead a neighborhood watch-type campaign designed for neighbors to assist those who cannot clear the sidewalks themselves. Exemptions likely would have been rife with administrative challenges, she conceded. Advocates for the disabled have cautioned against giving waivers to select residents, noting
Forest farms
I attended the Farm Bureau meeting in Westport the other night. Discussions varied from Albany politics to manure, (at times, very similar) all the way up the food chain including, By Richard Redman how to get interested new members. • COLUMNIST • The Essex County Farm Bureau membership drive is on and we are always looking to add new members to our roster. New members bring new ideas, and thoughts, especially those from the young farmers who are just starting to break ground in agriculture. What are your concerns? Is it finding markets, labor issues or storage for products? What do you need to help keep you profitable? Your local county Farm Bureau covers the gauntlet, the list includes: traditional dairy farming and cropping,
that doing so could generate concerns over fairness. “As someone who had originally advocated for an exemption system, I have been persuaded that such a system would be too complicated and frankly ‘slippery’ to implement and manage administratively,” Armstrong wrote in an email to Mayor Colin Read. “I am willing to work on a public awareness and ‘neighborhood watch’ campaign that I hope would increase the likelihood that the infirm or disabled get the help they need.” A re-written version of the snow removal policy, which will likely include procedural changes and legal updates without an exemption policy, is expected to come before the council in the coming weeks, Armstrong said.
MOST COMPLIANT
In a winter characterized by heavy snowfall, the majority of landlords, homeowners and business owners have complied with the current directive, said Plattsburgh City Police Chief Ken Parkinson, with only a handful of property owners not adhering to the policy. On average, the city has received around 100 complaints of non-compliance per year since the policy took effect several years ago, said City of Plattsburgh Building Inspector Joe McMahon. Plans to reconfigure how the city enforces the policy is still in the works, he said. Authorities said they couldn’t pinpoint how many “end of snow” events were called this year, which is the trigger for the removal policy. ■
Conservation Conversations hay and pasture production, grains, organic dairies and cheese making, organic or naturally grown vegetables, hops, apples, eggs and meats, labor problems, wages, wildlife, trespassers, manure, animal welfare, environmental and neighbor issues. Everything is on the table to discuss and hopefully solve if it’s your problem. Personally, I would like to see more involvement from the forestry community. Forests are croplands that grow long term plants, it’s that simple. Whether you plant the trees or you manage your naturally grown forest, you are involved with growing and managing a crop for products. How intensively you manage determines the quantity and quality of the product. Timber products could be logs or wood chips for pulp for either International Paper in Ticonderoga, or Finch Pruyn in Glens Falls. Quality trees could be harvested for veneer, or sawed out for boards and
other lumber products. Sugar maples are managed for maple sap production, giving you syrup for those cold morning pancakes. Poor trees are harvested for firewood, providing warmth to warm the bones on a cold day, after a “hard day’s night, working like a dog!” Forest farms provide a crop of wood, to be utilized in many shapes and forms. Forest owners have many of the same problems that plowed ground farmers have. Farm Bureau can help you. Food and fiber comes from the earth, so if you are involved with working the land, whether with a tractor and plow share, a sheep or cow’s hooves or a chainsaw and skidder we would like to have you join us. Your local, county run Farm Bureau wants to hear what you have to say! For more information, contact me at rangeric@nycap. rr.com, Kim Trombly at ktrombly@nyfb.org or phone 1-800-342-4143. ■
» Stefanik Cont. from pg. 1
Eight candidates seek to draw contrast as they work to unseat second-term lawmaker By Pete DeMola EDITOR
SOUTH GLENS FALLS | The eight Democratic candidates vying for Rep. Elise Stefanik’s seat met Sunday at the Moreau Community Center in South Glens Falls to make their case to voters. The afternoon forum, while thick on policy, was also about winnowing down the growing field, organizers said. “We hope today to start that process,” said Robert Lippman, co-founder of Citizens Acting Together 21, the grassroots group that organized the event. Wendy Johnson, a political science professor at SUNY Adirondack, moderated the panel. “Several people expressed concerns over the number of people running,” she said.
BIG FIELD
Candidates were asked to distinguish their campaigns in their opening remarks. Most touted their local roots and ability to empathize with working class voters, and they largely offered enough contrasts, from economic development expertise (Emily Martz), government experience and electability (Sara Idleman, Tedra Cobb) and union ties (Tanya Boone) to give the standing room-only crowd enough to ponder. Others touted their policy chops. Ronald Kim, a Saratoga-based attorney, cited legal precedent and policies he’d pursue if elected, and said he’d bring that legal experience to the seat. Patrick Nelson, a Stillwater-based political activist, sought to embrace Bernie Sanders’ brand of class struggle at every opportunity. “This has been the Democratic Party’s deal with the devil for decades,” he said, citing

Photo by Pete DeMola the party’s reliance on corporate donations. And others sought to define themselves by tearing into Stefanik again and again, namely Don Boyajian and Katie Wilson. “I can take that girl on, and give people in this district a reason to get off the couch and vote,” Wilson said.
EYE ON STEFANIK
While the Cook Political Report ranks New York’s 21st Congressional District as “solid Republican,” Stefanik faces the tailwinds of a deeply unpopular and polarizing president. For much of the night, Stefanik, a Republican, was a punching bag, and was criticized for not being accessible via town hall meetings; for voting for what attendees said was damaging legislation and for not having the best interests of her constituents in mind. “Elise Stefanik has milewide support that’s an inch deep,” said Sara Idleman, a Washington County lawmaker and Greenwich town supervisor. “She has a record, and that record is voting against the interests of the district.” She added: “Where’s Elise?” “She’s elusive,” yelled an audience member. The crowd jeered in agreement. Stefanik did not attend, and a campaign spokesman did not respond to an email
seeking comment. But representatives for Stefanik in the past have touted the second-term lawmaker’s numerous district events and constituent meetings, defended her voting record and said Stefanik is focused on continued service to her constituents. “We are enjoying watching the Democratic primary process play itself out,” said Essex County Republican Party Committee Chairman Shaun Gillilland. “It is easy to see there is a wide range of talent in the parade of contenders.” Two Republicans are also vying for the primary nomination. Russell Finley didn’t attend owing to a family medical issue, and Steven Schnibbe did not respond to the invitation, organizers said. Finley sent over a statement. “This race is about which Democrats will be challenging me in the November election,” he said.
EXTENDED DEBATE
With eight candidates, the panel often dragged — particularly as the discussion delved into policy on which the candidates largely agreed. Each hopeful said they believe in a $15 minimum wage and “common sense” gun control legislation.
All eight disagree with the tax overhaul bill, and agree that opiate addiction should be treated as a public health issue. But on buoying the region’s moribund economy, the octet was all over the map. Boyajian brandished a composition notebook he called his “to-do book,” and said job creation can be attributed, in part, to sitting on the right congressional committees. Martz highlighted her two decades of work in the economic development sector and said New York’s 21st Congressional District needs to invest in clean energy; Cobb said health care drives economic growth and cited the need for workforce development. Nelson said broadband was key; Boone cited the need to develop infrastructure and places like the Advanced Institute of Manufacturing in Plattsburgh, and Idleman called for investment in small- and medium-sized businesses. Wilson, who lives in Keene, said the acquisition of state land drives development, and Kim said he’d hold an annual business summit to glean ideas from a brain trust. Eric Rosenburg of Wilton listened attentively. “None of this matters if you can’t win this election,” he said. ■ To read the full story online, visit suncommunitynews.com
