Advocates: City’s ADA compliance plan overdue

Disabilities advocate takes to City Hall to voice concern over delayed response by city Elizabeth Izzo

Elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — After 25 years of waiting, an advocate returned to City Hall on Thursday to address accessibility issues for disabled citizens.

Debra Buell sat in the audience as the council made its way through their agenda, patiently waiting for her turn to speak.

Buell, of Plattsburgh, said she has been a statewide disabilities advocate for 30 years.

Despite plans being made in recent months to combat the wealth of accessibility issues in the city, she had come to City

MorrisonvilleÊ

Hall with a laundry list of concerns, namely that the city needs to expedite efforts to ensure compliancy with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). Buell works closely with the North Country Center for Independence, or NCCI. The NCCI has carved out a number of victories, including prodding the city to amend their sidewalk laws, draft a comprehensive ADA compliancy report, and to expedite accessibility measures at the Champlain Centre Mall.

According to Buell, the lack of accessibility around the city makes moving around extremely difficult for those with disabilities.

“As you can see, there’s already a problem,” Buell said, as she approached the council in an electric wheelchair. “Because I’m disabled, and there’s a podium here that I can’t get to.”

MORRISONVILLE — The towns of Plattsburgh and Schuyler Falls are discussing the creation of a joint dog park.

Plattsburgh Town Councilwoman Meg LeFevre said the town has been exploring different locations, like the East MorTeah risonville Rec Park, to build a space for Dowling pooches. After learning about Schuyler Writer Falls’ interest in incorporating one themselves, LeFevre asked Supervisor Rick Potiker if they could work together.

“A dog park is a dog park,” Potiker said. “It doesn’t matter where it is so long as the residents have access to it.”

in a dog park for two reasons: central location and the old swimming hole.

The 4-foot deep, circular pool structure used to be open for children about four years ago, said Defayette, until the town faced budget cuts, which eliminated the lifeguard positions.

Since then, the town opens the pool once a year for the annual Doggie Paddle Day. Defayette said due to positive feedback from that event, the town has been discussing converting the empty cement bowl into a new hub for pooches only.

Nothing is set in stone yet, said Defayette, and both towns are in the midst of having discussions.

“We don’t want to rush into anything,” she said. “But it’s definitely on the wish list.”

SARANAC — Are you into nature but are clueless on how to pitch a tent or build a campfire? Do you have inexperienced guests in town? Getting older? Or are you still hardcore, but want a few luxuries waiting for you at the end of your journey?

An ambitious new project aims to broaden the hiking experience for everyone, and give local towns an economic jump start in the process.

The Adirondack Community-based Trails and Lodging System (ACTLS) project seeks to develop a series of trail networks across the region. Key locations will include lodging facilities at the end of a day-long trek, each containing varying amenities.

Hatched by a pair of local educators with years of wilderness experience, the project is now only in its conceptual stages, and was formally rolled out earlier this year at the Adirondack Research Consortium’s annual conference in Lake Placid.

NY21: One debate down, two to go

First debate a sedate affair that sees candidates discussing trade, economy, veterans issues — and creepy clowns

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ALBANY — Candidates for New York’s 21st Congressional District met last week on the debate stage for the first time.

But despite the increasingly-hostile tenor of the race — the campaigns trade broadsides almost daily in a three-way battle royale — the debate was relatively muted as each candidate outlined their views on the economy, foreign policy and tax reform.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is seeking to defend her seat against Mike Derrick, a retired army colonel from Peru, and Matt Funiciello, a Glens Falls bakery owner.

TAX REFORM In the wake of revelations that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump filed losses of $916 million on his taxes, all broadly agreed tax reform is needed.

Derrick called the system “rigged.”

“Our entire tax code, corporate and personal, needs to be redone so that it accounts for these kinds of things and people pay their fair share,” he said.

Stefanik said the current tax code was “riddled with special interest loopholes” and called for a “flatter, fairer, simpler tax code” that helps “pro-growth policies” while also helping working families.

The freshman lawmaker said she was confident Congress would work with whoever is elected to the White House next month to embark on policy changes, including a proposal put forth by the House GOP last December.

“I think a Republican Congress can make that happen no matter who is in the White House,” Stefanik said.

Funiciello said the two major parties aren’t doing enough to expand the discussion.

The candidate called for a 10 percent flat tax, and a wealth tax of 3 percent on those with more than $10 million in assets.

These themes, and their delivery, set the contours for the hour-long debate moderated by “Capital Tonight” host Liz Benjamin and Time Warner Cable reporters Matt Hunter

and Brian Dwyer: Stefanik largely discussed her record and pointed at a broad list of accomplishments and policy proposals; Derrick offered general brushstrokes on the issues, and Funiciello reveled in blasting the two-party system for not going far enough with the policies he said are necessary to pull the nation back from the precipice.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Stefanik defended last year’s $63 million state-brokered deal that saw Alcoa retain 600 union jobs at their Massena aluminum plant through massive subsidies, citing the number of working families who would be effected by its closure.

But to bolster the sagging economy at the federal level, the lawmaker pointed at the roadmap she has sketched out during her two-years in office. That includes working with Canada to strengthen transnational economic partnerships and workforce development efforts.

Stefanik also referred to legislation like last year’s $305 billion highway bill as beneficial for the local economy.

Derrick called for widespread infrastructure investments through a national infrastructure land bank.

“We put in seed money from the federal government, and then we leverage private and public funds, and we create the capital that we need to invest in our country to bring back some of these towns, some of these rust belt towns that have fallen so far behind,” he said.

Funiciello said: “They can talk about it, but they won’t do it,” referring to the major parties.

And he referred to the Alcoa subsidies as, “One of those big nice cardboard checks that politicians like to stand with as if they’ve actually done something. No you haven’t — you’ve just given welfare to a massive corporation,” he said.

A better use of those funds, he said, would be their allocation to retraining efforts.

TRADE Sparks flew in the otherwise mild debate when the candidates squared off on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the proposed trade pact between the U.S. and 11 other nations designed to keep China in check.

“I would not have voted for TPA as Congresswoman Stefanik did,” Derrick said, re-

ferring to the fast-track authority that allows the administration to negotiate deals before they head to Congress.

Derrick said the TPP is “unfair” and would put constituents at a disadvantage.

Funiciello said free trade is “global wage slavery” and called Stefanik’s vote “unconstitutional.”

“That’s fast-track, that’s not how things should be negotiated — not in secret, we live in a democracy,” he said.

Stefanik said: “I don’t support TPP.” She added: “It’s clear that the TPP will not pass, and that’s because I’m a member of Congress and I’m one of the majority members and voices that said, ‘This is something that my district doesn’t support.’”

Stefanik said she had reservations on how the legislation would address dairy provisions; environmental standards and currency manipulation. But it is still important that Congress has a vote in any future deals.

On Derrick not supporting TPA, Stefanik said: “That means he doesn’t support fair trade and he doesn’t support congressional authority.”

“If you vote to fast-track the TPP, it is logical that you then support it, and she has flipped on this under pressure,” Derrick said.

“This is a contrast on what she says and what

Screenshot via Time Warner Cable

she has done.”

“Mike clearly doesn’t understand the difference between TPA and TPP,” Stefanik shot back. “Mike Derrick actually had to correct his first campaign ad because he didn’t know the difference between TPA and TPP.” VETERANS ISSUES Stefanik touted her efforts to aid the district’s veterans since taking office, including helping constituents reclaim $1 million in VA benefits and getting legislation passed to assist caregivers of wounded veterans.

Wait time issues at the VA clinic continue to be a concern, she said, and more efforts should be made to harness technology and utilize local health providers.

“I don’t support privatizing the VA. But I do think when you’re in a rural area, you need to give veterans the option to access care through the VA Choice Program, which was a bipartisan bill that passed in the previous Congress.”

Derrick said he and his wife, also a veteran, have an ongoing relationship with the VA. “Access to care for those of us that are in rural areas is the key issue here,” Derrick said.

problem is first to acknowledge it and next to pay for its most practical fix.”

MAYOR REACTS

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The city is in hot water, according to mayoral candidate Colin Read.

The total cost to repair the “crumbling water lines,” according to Read, would be approximately $6 million.

The candidate proposed taking out a $2 million bond to address the most damaged areas. The city would then apply for a $4 million state grant for the remainder.

Read spoke at the intersection of Kentucky and Main Street, which he called the “epicenter of the waterline breakage problem.”

The city acquired the Lake Country Village section of the new base from the Plattsburgh Air Force Base Redevelopment Corporation in 2001, Read said.

But the city did not ask for recompense for the aged underground infrastructure upon acquiring the area.

The water pipes on the new base were built in the 1950s, he said, out of asbestos concrete that had a 50-70 year lifespan.

The city has seen 18 breakages this year, and 9 last year, according to Read.

This has left residents without potable water for days at a time. “The problem is accelerating.”

Read claims City of Plattsburgh Fire Department is “nervous about using the fire hydrants” in the district because it could “cause a surge.”

“It’s a tough pill to swallow,” said Read. “But the only way we can solve this

Upon hearing of his opponent’s plan, Mayor James Calnon said that the city already has a grant proposal in process to apply for state aid. The city has also commissioned a formal study using sound waves to evaluate the water pipes, he said.

A engineering report has detailed the damages, and the city has been receiving updates on estimates from local engineers.

“We’re working with actual data, not hysteria,” Calnon said.

Calnon says that it’s hard to tell what effect Read’s plan would have on local taxpayers, but he estimates that it could raise water rates just under 10 percent for the next 20 years.

Read disagrees, saying that it would not have an effect on taxpayers.

“The folks living here have paid almost $600,000 a year in city taxes and water fees each year since 2001,” Read said. He criticized the city, saying that some of this revenue should have been directed toward repairs.

Calnon responded by saying that “this just goes to show that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

Those taxes have been going to fire safety, city police, treating water, taking care of pipes and all the things that governments do, he said. “It’s not like when people pay money we just put it under our mattress,” Calnon said. “We haven’t had a water tax increase in years.”

Calnon also disputed his opponent’s claims that the city Fire Department were nervous to use area fire hydrants.

According to him, the department has never issued a statement about the pipes.

“The fire chief has contingency plans, and there’s no special concern about that,” Calnon told the Sun. “It’s just hysteria. He’s trying to make people think that there’s an issue here. He’s fear mongering. It’s a very low form of politics.”

“I’m outraged,” said Calnon.

Read said Calnon “doesn’t want to talk about the issues,” despite the two candidates having “legitimate policy differences.”

“I’m an educator. I want to educate, not attack.”

Read ended the press conference with a sobering view of the city’s finances.

“We’re broke. We’re spending more than we have,” Read said. “But I’m willing to use bonds to give our infrastructure another 100 years of life.”

On Tuesday, the day this story went to print, a water main at the corner of Kansas and Maine broke, requiring day-long emergency repairs.

The site is less than a half-mile from where Read delivered his comments.

Residents upset over lack of progress on Lakeside Apartments Complex ‘looks horrible,’ say locals

By Elizabeth Izzo

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Five years after a recordmaking flood drowned the streets of Plattsburgh and the Lakeside Apartments building was rendered uninhabitable, residents are complaining that remediation has been slow in coming.

“Lakeside Apartments: I thought at one time, it couldn’t look any worse,” said Jack Wilson, of Margaret Street. “It is horrible. They spent three days this summer converting it from a dilapidated building to a junk yard.”

At least week’s Plattsburgh City Council meeting, Wilson requested that the council “take a sharp stick” and “prod” the owner of the former complex at the city’s north end to move forward with remediation.

Lakeside Apartments has changed hands multiple times since the 2011 flood, finally landing in the hands of local developers TRB Development and Plattsburgh Bay Commons LLC earlier this year.

The developer expected demolition to be finished in April, and construction of condominiums to begin this spring, according to WAMC. But according to residents, nothing has happened.

Ima Wilson, another city resident, said that she is representing “a lot of people” from Seth Point, Wild Wood and Seth Square when she says that property owners near the 460 Margaret Street complex are concerned about their property values.

Residents living in nearby condominiums are selling their property, according to Wilson, trying to “get out of there” as their “property values are sinking.”

Wilson says that it was supposed to be

“It’s a piece of junk across the street from us,” she said.

“You drive into the City of Plattsburgh, and the first thing you see from the north, in our beautiful city, is junk.”

Joe McMahon, the City of Plattsburgh Building Inspector, said that the owners of Lakeside found a problem with asbestos, which has delayed the demolition. “They’re still on track, it was just another hurdle that they weren’t expecting,” he said.

The demolition is now expected to be completed this fall, according to McMahon.

Dog Park << Continued from | p. 1

SCHUYLER FALLS PREDICAMENT In August, Schuyler Falls officials held a public information meeting on converting the unused 20-acre town property on River Street into a fenced-in area for canines.

About 20 residents spoke out against the idea, leaving board members indecisive, said Potiker.

If the East Morrisonville Rec Park dog park becomes a reality, Potiker said the lot at the end of the dead end street would be utilized in some other way.

“It’s a beautiful piece of property,” he said. “We want to do something with it.”

During the meeting, residents came up with several options, such as converting the area into a gathering area or playground. Adding an ice skating rink, hiking trail or courts for sporting activities were other suggestions.

y nature, we are each unique and different.

We want to pursue our own path in life and in nearly everything we do.

It’s that free spirit quality that has made our country so successful and creative.

Last week, the country celebrated Manufacturing Week with events peppered from north to south. Creating and building products that meet the population’s ever-growing needs is not only a highly satisfying career, but one with handsome rewards also.

Plattsburgh, site of the new Institute of Advanced Manufacturing (IAM) at Clinton Community College, served as a host site for a number of manufacturers from around the region. The panel discussion revealed several interesting new developments that might surprise those among us who think of manufacturing plants as dark and dirty, performing monotonous work.

Another purpose of the gathering was to celebrate the success our region enjoys having these production facilities located here and to remind parents, teachers and students of the tremendous career opportunities available in the manufacturing fields today.

IAM will be a state-of-theart facility designed to support advanced manufacturing throughout the region when it opens next fall and will provide the region with the perfect assets to attract and train our growing population.

Most manufacturing facilities pay approximately 20 percent more than the area’s going pay rates. Technical education degrees are far less expensive than liberal art degrees and are more likely to be achieved with far fewer college loans to pay back.

Most workers today are cross trained in more than one area of expertise and are provided greater opportunity for advancement, especially with baby boomers leaving the work force at high numbers.

Management no longer calls all the shots. They’ve learned most line workers have superior ideas when it comes to streamlining operations. Today’s worker actively seeks the opportunity to take a more active role improving the work flow and product design and management encourages this participation.

Training opportunities today far exceed what has been available in the past, and with new technology and a greater demand for green manufacturing taking place, workers play a more important role than ever before.

Clearly our industrial plants today are nothing like the smoke-filled plants our grandfather and great grandfathers worked in years ago. These lean and clean facilities offer stability and tremendous economic hope for our communities and the lives we build around them.

Go newspapers!

T

he second presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on Oct. 9 was among the most dark and dreary we’ve ever seen, and we admit we were sitting on the edge of our seats for the first 15 minutes watching this surreal spectacle crackle with tension.

Two stories framed the surrealistic showdown more than any other: The first was Trump boasting about groping women, a story that cast the political world into upheaval just hours before the event.

The second was the revelations that the real estate magnate (legally) used a $916 million loss to avoid paying taxes.

These were the two of the biggest stories of the campaign. And they were both broken by newspapers — not cable networks, social media, websites or talk radio, but good old-fashioned newspapers.

The Washington Post and the New York Times picked up the stories that the television networks punted on.

That’s not a small feat considering the industry has laid off 40 percent of its reporters over the past decade.

The media has become a popular punching bag during this election cycle, and we’ve seen the discussion veer both ways: We’re heroes or villains depending on the beholder. Some even say that the choice between two disliked candidates is our fault because we didn’t do our jobs in the first place by vetting them — or that the media has been shielding one candidate or another.

There is some degree of truth to those criticisms.

National media companies have sadly become monopolies and have enjoyed too great an influence over the public’s flow of information, which in many cases, has now gone away from fair reporting to tipping the scales.

But it’s a discussion that will percolate long after the election.

Love or hate the press, it’s undisputed that newspapers continue to play a vital role in shaping the country’s debate, setting the tone and driving the national discourse — including the investigative work that fueled Sunday’s debate, as well as the other dogged, thorough and comprehensive work that has shaped this campaign.

The same applies to the local level.

But the future remains uncharted as the newspaper industry continues to navigate choppy waters.

Luckily for us, the pendulum is swinging back to print, and people more than ever are turning to their local newspapers for comprehensive and indepth reporting.

We’re reminded of something comedian John Oliver said in his much-discussed “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” segment on the challenges that face the newspaper biz, which made headlines earlier this summer for its defense of good reporting paired with a few hard truths.

“A big part of the blame is on us and our willingness to pay for the work that journalists produce,” Oliver said. “We’ve just grown accustomed to getting our news for free, and the longer we get something for free, the less willing we’re likely to pay for it.”

Bingo.

While Oliver made a lot of other assertions we disagree with — newspapers needn’t forsake investigative reporting at the expense of clickbait — we can’t emphasize enough that print plays a critical role in the media’s food chain, and that their gradual erosion would lead to a society run amok.

Small, private organizations such as ours are attempting to set a new course and return local media control to the grassroots where there is a balance of control between the media owner(s) and the community.

We’re a free publication made possible through advertising. So if you enjoy quality reporting, and have a vested interest in your community, frequent the businesses whose support make it possible for us to bring you the quality of reporting that shapes discussions across the North Country.

StefanikÊ endorsementÊ Ô indefensibleÕÊ To the Editor: If anyone had any doubts about Donald Trump’s sleazy and misogynistic attitude toward women, those doubts were dispelled by the latest Trump tapes.

This adds to the list of groups he despises — Mexicans, immigrants, the disabled, war heroes — the list goes on.

Republican congresswoman Elise Stefanik has said that Trump’s remarks are “inappropriate,” “offensive” and “wrong” yet she continues to endorse him.

Her endorsement is indicative of a larger problem: instead of using her own best judgement and voting in the interests of the people she represents, she

just toes the Party line.

For example, she voted to weaken Clean Air regulations in July 2015, a move that is contrary to the interests of her own district. Emissions from power plants in the Midwest are responsible for the acid rain which has already caused so much damage to Adirondack lakes and trees, and the legislation she voted for will increase that potential.

Her votes and her endorsement of Trump are indefensible and contradict her claim to be an independent voice in Congress. It is clear that her primary goal is to advance her own political career, and the best way to achieve this is to unquestioningly support the party leadership, regardless of the impact on her own constituents.

ENDORSEMENT POLICY

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

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

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

Saranac receives additional funds for Picketts Corners Park Specific park improvements currently being mapped out, says town officials

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

SARANAC — Guests will start noticing big changes at Picketts Corners Park by the end of the year.

The state recently awarded the town $20,000 to continue renovations for the park located off of Bowen Road.

Driving into the park today, visitors can play pickleball on the newly renovated courts on the left or swim in the outdoor pool on the right. In the back sits a playground structure on a giant sandbox, with a baseball field across the way.

Supervisor Nick Carter said there’s a lot more in store.

Discussions started a few years ago to start making changes to the park after determining the infrastructure was in need of a reboot, including aging playground equipment and a giant sandbox.

A study showed that while the pool was structurally sound, the equipment and overall look was found to be subpar. And another access point was needed.

Councilman Gerald Delaney said other ideas have been brought to the table, such as adding a splash yard and gazebo.

“We have a lot of ideas to continue to upgrade the park,” he said. “We’re just not sure what will be done first.”

The town allocates approximately $80,000 out of its budget toward pool staff, maintenance and supplies each year.

Since conversations began, Carter said the town has tried to put extra money toward small improvement projects.

Last year, $38,000 was taken out of the general fund to replace the pool’s pumps and filters and add an automatic pool chlorinator. These changes, along with painting the pool house and adding pop-up shades, should be made by the end of this year, said Carter.

Delaney said the town is currently seeking additional grants to cover other projects.

This summer, Saranac received $8,000 through the Healthy Neighborhoods Fund Initiative to convert one tennis court into two pickleball courts and add Fitness in the Parks – a five-week program that teaches karate, gymnastics, golf, archery and hip hop.

“We’re hoping to attract more people by making all of these changes,” Carter said. “We’re hoping to go as far as we can.”

Saranac considering adding town manager position

Town discussing new position or changing supervisor’s part-time status to full-time

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

SARANAC — Town officials are discussing a possible shakeup of the town’s administrative structure.

A pair of options are on the table: Add a town manager or extend the supervisor gig to a fulltime position.

Former Supervisor Joe Gerardi wrote in the Saranac’s Town Crier that he often struggled during his eight years on the job.

“I found my last term to be more complicated and more complex,” he said. “All the responsibilities were time-consuming and made the job feel more complicated.”

Gerardi said dealing with the state tax cap, FEMA wash-

outs, state grants and other various big projects was not overwhelming or problematic, but demanding.

Supervisor Nick Carter, who’s been in the position for one year, agreed.

“There’s more to this supervisor position than we acknowledged,” he said. “It’s time to talk to the town and the public about this.”

A town manager would be responsible for managing specific fiscal items, like insurance policies and claims, banking functions, grant writing and the website.

The manager would also overseeing certain areas like the water district, department heads and their programs and budget process.

The supervisor would retain his responsibilities as the chairman of the town board, town executive and fiscal officer.

If the supervisor position switches from part-time to fulltime, Carter said he believes all the duties now required could be completed.

“This is not really a part time job,” he said. “Something needs to change but there’s still a long way to go before that happens.”

Whatever change is decided upon, Carter said, won’t be implemented until Patti LaMora, bookkeeper and secretary, retires.

When she leaves, town officials will decide whether to hire a person to replace her 33-year experience and extend the supervisor position or eliminate the position and hire a town manager.

LaMora’s retirement date, Carter said, has not been finalized yet.

In the meantime, Carter said discussions will take place between officials and residents to see what option will best suit the town’s future.

The town also intends on gathering estimates for how much a new position would cost or switching the supervisor’s current part-time salary of $15,400 to full-time.

Peru reveals North Main Street plan

Proposal first step toward revitalization, says town officials

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PERU — Town officials are now taking the next steps on their Main Street revitalization plan.

Representatives from River Street Planning & Development, the Troy-based consulting group hired to spearhead the efforts, presented a three-phased plan to fix up the main hub of Peru late last month.

The first phase includes eliminating the large shoulder on the side of North Main Street with Town Hall and constructing a planted buffer zone filled with trees and shrubs separating the road from the sidewalk. Short-term parking for the Town Hall will be added.

The goal, he said, is to change the landscaping from across the Dollar Store down toward Stewart’s intersection.

How far the improvements will go, Councilman Donald McBrayer said, will be dependent on how far the $150,000 state grant takes them.

The consulting group and town officials are looking into additional grants to fund the next two phases, which include the removal of the sidewalk and the construction of an 8-foot-wide multi-use path on the opposite side for both pedestrians and bicyclists.

The final phase will continue the sidewalk on the east side of the Route 22 bridge and a path to the Little Ausable River Walking Trail on the TD Bank side of the Route 22 Bridge.

On the opposite side, a multi-use path will be incorporated. Planter trees separating the road from the designated walkways and bikeways, along with new crosswalks, will be added.

“We want to make Peru more pedestrian-friendly,” McBrayer said. “This is a good way to start.”

Earlier this year, the town was awarded $200,000 in state grant funds, with 25 percent of that pegged for the consultants.

McBrayer said the town aims to eventually connect all the sidewalks, beautify the Route 22 Bridge and fix all the storefronts.

ADA Compliance << Continued from | p. 1

Buell, a paralegal with a construction and engineering background, said she is among 18 percent of Plattsburgh residents — the census says it’s closer to 10.3 percent — under 65 who are living in a city noncompliant with ADA regulations.

EQUAL ACCESS The ADA Act was signed into law in 1990.

Since then, the NCCI has waited for the city to adhere to the law by reconstructing its problem areas.

To begin the process of rectifying the city’s noncompliance, the common council contracted the United Spinal Association to conduct an ADA assessment on the city’s properties earlier this year.

The idea was to spawn a transition plan designed for the

The overall goal, he said, is to make the area more accessible to pedestrians and attractive to potential businesses.

“Right now, It’s functional,” said Adele Douglas, chair of the committee. “But we want to make it more like what a main street should be.”

Town officials are currently in the process of setting up public hearings on the project. A final decision needs to be made by the end of December. The anticipated completion date, if everything goes as planned, is next summer.

city to address any accessibility issues.

That’s where the problems started, according to Buell.

United Spinal has been found guilty of violating the ADA across New York state, she said, and had been fined by the attorney general and made to comply with a three year monitoring order.

“That’s who the city chose,” she said.

Despite her reluctance to work with the agency, Buell said she would have gone along with the city’s decision had they kept their promise of including the NCCI in the process.

“Though that was really half of what the city promised to do last June and July.”

The total package, the RFP, including the assessment and transition plan, was due in 1995, according to Buell.

“That’s how long we have waited to have equal access in this city,” she said.

Councilwoman Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1) responded by saying that she would like to “make up for 25 years of noncompliance,” and that she would like to “express her disappointment” that what she understood would be a conversation between the contractors and NCCI “didn’t happen.”

Mayor James Calnon later told the Sun that United Spinal has completed their field work, but have not yet submitted a report or a plan. “There’s a whole lot more than taking measurements involved,” he said.

“There’s no exclusion. We want NCCI to be engaged once the first proposal is out.”

Calnon admitted the city is behind.

“We’re starting to do things. We’re working toward being compliant now,” he said. “The process is going to take a few years. We’ll need a few more months to complete a plan, and hopefully all the changes will be completed in four to five years.”

EYE ON THE ARTS

Art as a ‘reflection of us all’

J

ohn Lennon, born this month in 1940, once said that his role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try to express what we all feel.

“Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.”

The importance of authenticity in art cannot be understated. I believe that the perception of authenticity is key — even the people most removed from the art world can have the ability to see whether an artist is being truthful or deceptive.

When an artist is truthful, they have a special power; their work and uninhibited expression can truly inspire and garner genuine empathy.

Being relatable — or creating something that is universal — is oftentimes an effect of authenticity rather than of a goal set by the artist.

There are artists, musicians and writers abound in the North Country, all of whom host events every week to offer up their work for residents and visitors to experience.

Here are a few of their efforts: ROTA Studio and Gallery in Plattsburgh will host a performance by Jay Arner and Adrian Aardvark on Oct. 15. Jay Arner is a Vancouver-based synth-pop performer.

ROTA will also hold an evening of poetry for domestic violence survivors on Oct. 21. Organizers of the event encourage attendees to bring an original piece of work written by themselves, or a loved one. Those who wish to read can also bring their favorite author’s poetry, verse, fiction or song. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Readings start at 7 p.m. For more information, visit facebook.com/rotagallery.

Hill and Hollow Music in Saranac will bring pianist Gloria Chien to the Methodist Church on Route 3 on Oct. 16 at 3 p.m. Chien made her debut on the scene at the age of 16 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Her concert will feature works by Mendelssohn, Chopin, Debussy and more. Tickets are $15, $12 for students and seniors. Children are free. For more information, visit hillandhollowmusic.org.

Sears Homestore returning to Plattsburgh Choice Furniture adding appliance showroom before holiday season begins

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Soon, Sears appliances will be back on the sales floor, only this time at Choice Furniture.

Sears, previously located at Champlain Centre, closed its doors this summer.

Choice Furniture owners Jack and Willy Pirofsky recently got the OK to open a Sears Hometown Store, featuring various kitchen and laundry room appliances, right out of their location on Route 3.

“We’re very excited to bring Sears back into the community,” said Willy Pirofsky. “It’s going to be a phenomenal change for us, as well.”

Renovations started earlier this month to convert part of their showroom, featuring couches, lazy boys and mattresses, into an appliance showroom.

Pirofsky said every wall that doesn’t block off an office or a bathroom will be knocked down to showcase as many appliances as possible in the 30,000 square-foot showroom — making an additional 1,800 square-feet available.

If necessary, Pirofsky said the store also has 7,500 square-foot warehouse space in the back with plenty of land to expand.

For items not on the floor, customers can order unavailable Sears products online through a kiosk, in which deliveries to the store are free of charge.

The new store will also accept Sears credit cards, provide warranty coverage and offer deliv-

ery and setup.

The owners said they’re hopeful to open the showroom sometime before Thanksgiving.

The new showroom, Pirofsky said, will call for more employees, including two full-time positions and one part-time position to start.

Depending on how successful the appliance section becomes, Pirofsky said more sales people could be added in the future.

“Now people will be able to furnish their homes and purchase appliances at the same time,” he said. “It will not only help the community, but help us by making everyone see what we have to offer.”

Choice Furniture is located at 594 Route 3 in Plattsburgh. It’s open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. For more information or updates, call 518-324-5400 or visit choicefurnitureny.com.

Trail Network << Continued from | p. 11

After experiencing a hut-to-hut system in New Zealand, Joe Dadey, a former Paul Smith’s College professor, returned statewide and mulled over his experience: “What would that like look like in the Adirondacks?”

The Methow Valley Recreational Trail System in Washington, a network of 120 miles of cross-country ski trails surrounded by national wilderness, provided additional inspiration, Dadey said.

That network, according to their website, generated $4.5 million in spending directly, another $4.1 million indirectly, and an additional $2.7 million annually through related industry earnings in the region. Over 200 seasonal full- and part-time jobs can be also directly attributed to the network.

A similar system in the Adirondack Park would promote the outdoors and wellness while also aiding in economic development, Dadey said. The network could also provide opportunities for people who don’t ordinarily experience the backcountry.

Dadey and his partner, Jack Drury, will host a series of nine community workshops across the Adirondacks this fall to gather public input.

The first session was held in Star Lake on Tuesday. Subsequent sessions are scheduled for Old Forge, Saranac, Lake Placid, Lake George, Elizabethtown, Ticonderoga and Tupper Lake, with the final session slated for Paul Smith’s on Nov. 15.

The project is in its embryonic stages, and possible trail networks exist only within a conceptual framework.

But Dadey and Drury hope to leverage public knowledge with these sessions, gleaning input on existing trails and prospective new ones and their connections, as well as potential lodging facilities.

Routes floated earlier this spring include a North Creek to Indian Lake circuit that may incorporate rafting.

A route between Northville and Lake Placid could include an overnight stop in Long Lake and connect travelers to both the backcountry and frontcountry.

And a Lake Placid-Keene route could include Newcomb, an experience that would allow participants to experience the Santanoni Preserve and McIntyre Tract.

Possible networks, of course, also hinge on the progress of a state Department of Conservation recreation trail in the central Adirondacks and the future classification of Boreas Ponds.

But each route would ideally begin and end in a community.

“Instead of communities competing against each other, this connects communities,” Dadey said.

www.suncommunitynews.com

Existing lodging, Drury said, would be utilized whenever possible. Organizers envision those services existing on a spectrum from “rustic to five-star,” from lean-tos and yurttype structures to places like the Hotel Saranac.

Some could be full-service, while others may contain a small-but-dry sleeping space.

“It’s got to be a quality service — it can’t be a yawner,” Drury said.

Quality lodging, in part, is a key to success, he said. Other critical planks include world-class trails, public and private partnerships and dependable transportation infrastructure and services: If participants traverse from Point A to B, for instance, how do they get back to their vehicle?

All of these questions will be hashed out during the hearings.

Underpinning the proposed system are demographic changes, both at home and shifting trend in global travel preferences.

Walking remains a popular activity for the aging population, particularly family walks, which are growing in popularity.

And internationally, foreign guests aren’t necessarily looking for high risk adventure, said the organizers, but are rather seeking authentic nature experiences that aren’t disorienting or stressful.

Of course, challenges remain.

Funding appears to be heavily reliant on state funds — the Department of State, who awarded them a $50,000 grant last week, is currently bankrolling the effort — and the organization needs more torchbearers to help champion the project.

Local leaders said they were optimistic.

“Anytime that you can find something to attract tourism to the area, there’s going to be a benefit to town,” said Saranac Councilman Jerry Delaney, a member of the project’s advisory committee.

If guests like what they see, they may relocate here, Delaney said, which would have the additional benefit of services springing up within the community and saving residents a trip to Plattsburgh.

“I’m excited about it,” said Indian Lake Supervisor Brian Wells. “This is a novel idea.”

Offering guests the ability to stay overnight on state land, he said, is one of the reasons why he can support limited state land acquisitions.

But Wells also cited concerns about access. It may be difficult, for instance, to ferry in supplies to campers if roads do not allow motorized vehicles, or if the land is privately owned.

The project must also hash out the legalities governing the

The ‘Burgh Sun • October 15, 2016 | 11

construction of enclosed structures on state land, the supervisor said.

“Are we going to be allowed to put a yurt on state property?” Wells asked. “There’s got to be some give and take.”

The ACTLS already has friends in high places.

Former DEC commissioner Joseph Martens expressed delight over the proposal during its rollout in May. Collaborative efforts like these were among the brightest parts of his tenure leading the agency, he said.

“It almost makes me wish I was commissioner again — but not quite,” Martens said. “It’s these types of projects that hold the key to the future of the Adirondack Park.”

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD Community leaders, planners, economic developers, outdoor enthusiasts, lodging owners and those interested in the development of Adirondack hut-to-hut routes are encouraged to attend.

Workshops will be held in the following locations: Saranac: Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. Saranac Town Hall Ticonderoga: Thursday Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. Community Building Elizabethtown: Monday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. United Church of Christ Lake George: Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. Lake George Town Hall, Tupper Lake: Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. Goff-Nelson Library Lake Placid: Thursday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. The Conference Center Paul Smiths: Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. Paul Smith’s College: Joan Weill Student Center For those unable to attend meetings, a website will be available to provide input at adirondacktrailsandlodging.org/wiki-map.

Stefanik under fire for Trump support

Democratic challenger Mike Derrick amplifies calls for Stefanik to denounce Donald Trump following revelation of lewd comments

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — Dozens of high-profile Republicans rescinded their support of Donald Trump over the weekend after an audio tape revealed the presidential candidate bragging about groping women using vulgar language.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) was not among them.

“Donald Trump’s inappropriate, offensive comments are just wrong - No matter when he said them or whatever the context,” Stefanik said on Friday. “I hope his apology is sincere.”

Stefanik’s Democratic opponent Mike Derrick was quick to seize on her comments, branding Stefanik as a “party loyalist” and an “establishment sellout” for her continued support of the Republican nominee, which he called “downright reprehensible.”

“How in the world can she support a presidential candidate who has a shockingly consistent record of objectifying and belittling women, not to mention veterans and Gold Star families?” Derrick said.

“If Congresswoman Stefanik was really an independent voice, why has she not broken from her party leaders in joining the droves of others rejecting Trump, and where is her voice when he makes comments like this?”

In what has shaped up to one of the most explosive moments of the presidential campaign, the revelations of the comments by the Washington Post, caught by a hot mic during a 2005 taping of NBC’s Access Hollywood, cast the Trump campaign into crisis.

Derrick gleefully hammered Stefanik on social media all weekend, using the hashtag #EstablishmentElise as his campaign sent fundraising pitches to supporters.

A Stefanik campaign spokesman did not respond for comment.

Derrick, a retired army colonel, has made tying Trump to Stefanik a central part of his campaign, and has criticized the freshman lawmaker in the wake of numerous contro-

versies throughout the election, including Trump’s comments last week that returning combat veterans are “not strong” and “can’t handle it.”

And a campaign commercial released last week further sought to cement that connection with voters, featuring an audio clip of Stefanik expressing support for the candidate juxtaposed with footage of Trump mocking a disabled reporter, among other controversial statements.

UNEASY RELATIONSHIP Stefanik, first elected in 2014, has avoided discussing the real estate developer, and has generally remained silent on national politics during the tumultuous election cycle. The lawmaker also pointedly declined to attend the GOP National Convention, opting instead to tour the district.

But the youngest woman ever elected to Congress offered her most full-throated support yet — if not an impersonal one — for Trump during last week’s congressional debate in Albany.

Stefanik offered a list of iron-plated party orthodoxy, including the need for tax reform, reducing regulations, replacing the Affordable Care Act, preserving gun rights and the future of the Supreme Court, as her rationale for supporting his campaign.

“I don’t support Trump’s proposals to ban people from the country based upon their religious affiliation,” Stefanik admitted. “That’s an issue where I disagree.”

Stefanik also criticized Trump for his failure to release his tax returns. “I think it raises the issue of transparency and comprehensive tax reform,” Stefanik said.

GROWING TIDE Stefanik joins the raft of Republicans who have denounced his comments while stopping short of rescinding support for the controversial figure.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Friday he was “sickened” by Trump’s comments and withdrew an invitation for a joint campaign appearance in Wisconsin over the weekend.

A number of high-profile party leaders have withdrawn their support, including Sen. John McCain, the party’s nominee in 2008, Sen. Mike Crapo and Sen. Kelly Ayotte.

Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Thune said Trump should step aside in

favor of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. And Stefanik’s colleague Rep. John Katko, a Republican who represents the Syracuse area, called Trump’s comments “offensive and disgusting.”

“His comments cannot be justified and crosses every line you can imagine,” he told Syracuse.com.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, too, waded into the debate on Saturday.

“I think it was disgusting on a basic human level,” Cuomo told NY1. “And I think the Republican politicians in this state have to condemn the activity, condemn the verbiage – silence is acceptance and no New Yorker should accept what was said here.”

Cuomo added: “Any Republican politician in this state who continues to stand with Trump is going to be unseated very soon in the political arena because no New Yorker will tolerate this.”

And on Sunday, Essex County Democratic Committee Chairman Bethany Kosmider urged her Republican counterparts to “repudiate and disavow” their support for Trump.

SOCIAL MEDIA DELUGE A spirited discussion unfolded on Stefanik’s Facebook page over the weekend.

By Monday, her original statement had nearly 200 comments, reflecting the rhetoric pervading the nuclear-level national discourse which has only amplified after Sunday’s combative presidential debate.

Many applauded her position.

“You had my vote before, you have my vote now and I applaud you for wording it perfect,” wrote a man under the name Kirk Gilchrist.”

Thanks for your leadership and willingness.

Most would have simply been quiet. In my mind, this is great leadership.”

Others said she had already said too much: “You just lost my vote Ms. Stefanik, and my support and your lawn sign just went in my garbage can,” wrote Thomas C. Powlin. “Very disappointed and regretting I donated to your campaign.”

But the overwhelming majority appeared to blast the lawmaker for not taking a more firm stand: “Your continued support for Donald Trump is vile and a disgrace to women everywhere,” said Nora Frateschi Miller. “You will no longer be under consideration for my vote. He needs to quit while he can.”

Stefanik, for her part, has avoided further comment since the controversy emerged late Friday.

Derrick continued to play offense on Monday, releasing statements from a number of women across the district expressing their outrage.

“As a young woman from the North Country and an elected official, I keep holding out hope that Elise Stefanik will make good on her promises to represent me in a way that I can be proud of,” said Town of Plattsburgh Councilwoman Meg LeFevre. “Personal and professional success in the North Country, especially for women, is not possible without the support of other women and men who respect, inspire and uplift us every day. Stefanik cannot call herself a role model to our young girls while continuing to support Donald Trump.”

PARTISAN DIVIDE A POLITICO/Morning Consult poll released on Sunday revealed a sharp divide over the leaked tape.

According to the poll, 74 percent of Republican voters said party officials should continue to support Trump. Just 13 percent think the party shouldn’t back him.

While that same poll revealed Clinton leads Trump in the four-way race for the White House by four points, 42 percent to 38 percent, a NBC/WSJ poll released Monday shows Clinton with an 11 point lead.

It’s unclear what the backlash would mean for local races. The New York Times reported on Monday Ryan told GOP lawmakers that his sole priority for the remainder of the election would be to defend congressional Republicans.

Trump scored decisive victories in New York during the Republican primary, winning all 12 counties in the congressional district with 52.7 percent of the vote.

And Stefanik carved out a 19-point victory over challenger Aaron Woolf, a Democrat, in 2014.

Just four weeks ahead of the congressional race, polling in the three-way race remains scant. But registrations in New York have surged before the Oct. 14 deadline.

A record number of new voters have enrolled in the state Department of Motor Vehicles’ automated online system last month, >> See Stefanik/Trump | pg. 17

munity-based outpatient clinics to offer more services. Derrick also criticized Stefanik for voting for a recent appropriations bill that reduced expenditures for veterans programs.

Stefanik said that vote was “well-funded.”

“I will continue to vote in support of funding for the VA,” Stefanik said.

Funiciello also criticized that vote, and said single-payer healthcare would remedy issues at the VA. “A lot of soldiers I talked to this past year are not particularly impressed with that decision, and are very upset,” Funiciello said. “It directly impacts a lot of real human beings.”

PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS Funiciello said he supports Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

But in response to a moderator’s question, he admitted working with Congress might be troublesome.

“Look at how well they work with each other right now, which is not at all. They’re not doing anything of value.”

Derrick called Trump a “liar” and a “cheat.”

“I support Hillary Clinton because she brings with her ideas,” Derrick said, citing the candidate’s infrastructure and Medicare expansion proposals. (He also cited the overturn of Citizens United, which Benjamin noted would require cooperation from both Congress and the Supreme Court.)

And Stefanik discussed her rationale for supporting Trump, offering a list of iron-plated GOP orthodoxy, including the need for tax reform, reducing regulations, replacing the Affordable Care Act, preserving gun rights and the future of the Supreme Court.

“I don’t support Trump’s proposals to ban people from the country based upon their religious affiliation,” Stefanik admitted. “That’s an issue where I disagree.”

LIGHTNING STRIKES The candidates also outlined strategies for combatting terrorism, immigration reform and how they would help farmers located in the North Country counties declared as disaster areas by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Stefanik said she is pushing for a more stringent classification that would free up more resources for drought-affected farmers in Jefferson and Lewis counties.

The exchange resulted in Funiciello calling for farmers to pull out of meat and dairy farming altogether, citing their contribution to global warming.

“Livestock agriculture was determined in 2006 to be the root cause,” Funiciello said. “Our consumption of meat and dairy was actually the issue.”

Benjamin appeared stunned: “Are you suggesting that farmers in the North Country should all get out of the meat business?” she said.

“Oh, absolutely,” Funiciello said.

The Green Party candidate also said he would not be in favor of using experimental drone technology to provide highspeed internet to underserved areas in the Adirondack Park.

“Are the drones going to be successful at sending those signals back and forth as they are at killing our enemies in the Middle East?” Funiciello said. “Because if they are, then I don’t want them to be doing that over the Adirondack Park.”

Despite their policy differences and minor spats, all three found common ground in at least a few areas.

During the lightning round, each candidate agreed that vehicles should not be allowed in the Boreas Pond Tract, and that people were overreacting to the epidemic of clown sightings sweeping the nation.

“But it is creepy,” Stefanik said.

The next debate is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 17 at SUNY Adirondack in Queensbury. The third and final debate is scheduled for Oct. 24 in Plattsburgh.

Game of the Week BeekmantownÊ thwartsÊ PeruÊ upsetÊ bid

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

BEEKMANTOWN — Ever since the Peru Lady Indians scored a one-game win over the Lady Eagles in the Saranac tournament, this date was marked in red.

The two teams at the top of the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference met Oct. 3, and the rematch did not disappoint through the first four games of the match, as both Peru and Beekmantown won two games each.

It was the fifth set, though, where Beekmantown showed the dominance that they have been known for perennially, outscoring Peru 25-7 to clinch the match an improve their record to 10-0 on the season.

“An exciting, intense game,” said Beekmantown coach Shana Hileman. “Both teams had some highs and lows and, fortunately, we played how we train in the fifth game to pull out the win.”

“It was a great match,” Peru coach Mary Anne Lake said.

“Beekmantown is such a powerhouse and always a tough opponent. We beat them in the single game final to win the Saranac tournament, but to carry that through to an entire match is another level.”

Lake said the boost of confidence from the last meeting to these two teams helped power the team early.

“The girls came in confident that they could beat Beekmantown, but also understood that we would have to bring our best game if that was going to happen,” she said. “The girls left it all on the floor last night, they gave all they could. We came up a bit short, but I couldn’t be any prouder of our team.

Everyone on the team played a part, whether they were on the bench helping keep the energy level up by cheering or calling lines or on the court doing all they physically could win another point.”

The teams rotated wins over the first four games, with the Eagles winning 25-23 and 2514 in games one and three, while the Indians scored wins of 25-22 and 25-19 in games two and four.

Both teams were focused defensively, as together they racked up 151 digs and 12 Peru’s Marie Higgens attempts a kill over the block of blocks, with Brooke Bjelko of Beekmantown as sister Taylor Hig- B e e k m a n gins watches.

Cailene Allen • Seton Catholic

What makes you happy playing sports?

I like how fast paced it is. I like that it is a team sport with a lot of communication. You are not alone on the field and that you have to rely on your teammates.

Best win of your career?

We listen to a lot of Jonus Brothers on the bus. Old school. For me personal is “All I do is Win” by DJ Khaled.

What would my teammates say about me?

My teammates hopefully say I work hard. I really try to be a team player. We try to work hard on the field and if we are talking back to each other, I try and get them back online.

Offensively, Beekmantown held an edge in all three categories of kills (47-38), assists (43-35) and serving aces (17-15).

Gabrielle Rowell led the Eagles offense with 19 kills to go with a pair of aces, while also record- Beekmantown setter Allyssa Rock had 41 assists in ing 11 digs. the Eagles five set win over Peru.

Brooke Bjelko Photo by Keith Lobdell followed with 14 kills along with 13 digs and three blocks defensively, while Ashley Maggy had six blocks and nine digs.

Setting everything up was Allyssa Rock, who had 41 of her team’s 43 assists in the game, while also scoring nine points via the ace to go with seven digs and a block.

Abby Bone led the defensive charge for the Eagles with 23 digs while hitting four aces on offense. Rayya Barcomb added 11 digs.

“Allyssa had a stellar night behind the service line with her aces at crucial times,” Hileman said. “Abby had a consistent night with her passing and defense. Gabby had a career high 19 kills and Brooke Bjelko had another solid all around night.”

Taylor Higgins was the top scorer for the Indians, knocking home 21 kills to go with seven aces from the service line.

Defensively, the senior had a pair of blocks at the net and was able to account for 11 digs. Jenny Cibula added five kills and three blocks.

Olivia Bousquet had 18 of the Indian’s assists, while fellow setter Alyson Rascoe recorded 15 to go with nine digs defensively.

Maddy Tyler led the team with 14 digs, while Marie Higgins had 11 digs. Alexis Veile joined Cibula with a trio of blocks.

“Taylor was a key figure in the match,” Lake said. “She showed outstanding leadership on the court in addition to leading the team in kills, points, aces and serve receptions.”

“The Higgins sisters both had great defense forcing us to change our shot selection,” said Hileman. “Taylor had solid serving and her powerful hits challenged our blockers.”

Hileman said the end of the month and start of November should be an exciting time for Class B volleyball.

“We anticipate Class B sectionals to be competitive between Plattsburgh High, Peru and us,” she said.
