LAKE PLACID Ñ Matt Funiciello, the Green PartyÕ s candidate for New YorkÕ s 21st Congressional District, has reached a state of balance. Ò Campaigning is just one of the many things IÕ m doing,Ó he said. Ò I have to take time to enjoy life, something IÕ ve only learned in the past two years.Ó His first campaign stop outside of Glens Falls, his home turf, was the Green Goddess Market in Lake Placid. Ò Lake Placid is a very important place to me emotionally,Ó he said. Ò I want to start getting out and talking to people about the issues and specifically, find out what they think of what IÕ m saying.Ó For the full story, visit denpubs.com.

Matt Funiciello discussed his three main campaign platforms with Lake Placid voters on June 27.

They include single-payer health care, an end to corporate welfare and a $15 minimum wage.

TUPPER LAKE Ñ Jumping through mud, crawling through tires, climbing ropes and now rocking out to some tunes, the Third Annual Tupperpalooza Warrior Run is adding a music festival to the 3.5 mile obstacle race Saturday, July 19, at the Big Tupper Ski Area, plus more obstacles and a new team format. Ò ItÕ s a family event,Ó said Adam Baldwin, events administrator for the Tupper Lake Chamber of Commerce. Ò ItÕ s going to be great. ItÕ s going to be a good time to just get out of the house and listen to some music.Ó Adam Boudreau, president of the chamber, said his organization was involved in the event in the hopes of attracting visitors in the area who might spend money in local businesses. Ò We recognize tourism as a primary economic driver,Ó Boudreau said.

Three bands will play including Formula 5, a Lake George/Albany-based jam band, and the Blind Spots, an Ithaca-based indie/pop group. Local musician Ben McClelland will take the stage before the Awards Ceremony at 11:30 a.m. The other two will follow the ceremony, keeping the fun going at the mountain all afternoon. So participants should bring a change of clothes. Ò What we tried to go this year is kick it up a notch and have sort of a festival atmosphere,Ó Boudreau said of the musical offerings.

The Tupperpalooza Warrior Run is a challenging 3.5 mile race made up of a mix of intense obstacles, treacherous mountain terrain and lots of mud. Costumes are encouraged.

Gallagher premiers original work LAKE PLACID Ñ On Sunday, July 20 Martha Gallagher will premiere a new original work, appearing as the guest soloist with the Lake Placid Sinfonietta. The concert will be held at LPCA beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The OrphanÕ s Odyssey is a four movement suite for lever, or Celtic, harp and symphony. Ò I have never undertaken a music project of this scope, and itÕ s been an amazing Ò odysseyÓ so far!Ó Gallagher said. Ò It has challenged and welcomed me to grow personally, professionally and most certainly artistically. This is the kind of experience an artist needs to expand their horizons and, thus, what they share with the world, and I think people will really love

the music. I do!Ó The inspiration for The OrphanÕ s Odyssey is GallagherÕ s unique, custom-built harp known as The Orphan Harp. The reclamation of unused wood the harp makers call Ò orphansÓ to build this harp was GallagherÕ s idea while touring Dusty Strings Harps workshop in Seattle, Wash. several years ago. She thought using different kinds of wood for the harp. instead of the custom of using wood all cut from one piece of wood, which was an intriguing idea. Ò I felt a kind of kinship with these orphan pieces of harps,Ó she said. The harp builders were not so sure. The mixing of woods could possibly negatively effect the sound quality, as well as

look disjointed. Gallagher persevered by sending emails every few months. About a year later, a beautiful harp built of bubinga, maple and black walnut was delivered to GallagherÕ s home in Keene. Gallagher admits, Ò I donÕ t usually name my harps or even think of them in terms of any gender, but this harp was different.

She claimed both, and her name is Hope.Ó Gallagher is well known throughout the region as The Adirondack Harper. Recent years have had her out of the area on national concert tours, but 2014 is her self-proclaimed year of Celebrating Home in the Adirondacks. She will be performing throughout the region throughout the year. Over GallagherÕ s 35 year career as a musician, she has performed with such luminaries as six-time Grammy winners The Chieftains, produced and recorded six CDs on her indie label Singing Strings and has been featured on numerous radio and television programs around the US and Canada, including BBC TV. The concert is Sunday, July 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, located at 17 Algonquin Dr., Lake Placid. Reservations can be made by calling the Center for the Arts

Martha Gallagher at 518-523-2512 or online at www.lakeplacidarts.org. Tickets are $25.

Audit raises many questions at ORDA

By Jon Hochschartner jon@denpubs.com

LAKE PLACID Ñ The Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA), the state agency that manages the North CountryÕ s Olympic venues, has been slapped by the state in an audit released last week.

Among the most incendiary findings by New York State Comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli, was that ORDA, while unable to pay its own bills, spent $36,000 on hotel stays. According to the report, they Ò refused to provide any information about the individuals that actually stayed at the hotel or the specific reason.”

ORDA relies on loans and outside contributions to cover cash shortages and, in recent years, has used a line of credit to cover its basic operating costs, including payroll, according to the audit.

In some cases, other state agencies have paid ORDAÕ s bills, including $1.5 million of capital lease payments ORDA could not pay since December 2008. Ô NO TAXPAYER MONEYÕ When asked why ORDA wouldnÕ t release information regarding hotel stays as the auditors requested, spokesperson Jon Lundin sidestepped the question. Ò This was a sponsorship agreement,Ó he said. Ò No taxpayer money was

spent.Ó When the question was repeated, Lundin declined to comment.

Three of the seven sponsors reviewed received more stays at the ORDA-leased condominium than called for in their agreements, including one that received 45 excess stays during the audit period. In total, the three sponsors received an additional 54 nights, valued at $13,500, over their agreed allotment for the three fiscal years ended March 31, 2013.

Lundin also declined to comment on why his agency was selected for an audit, which covered April 1, 2010 through Sept. 26, 2013.

When asked if, as a cost saving measure, ORDA was considering a salary ceiling for its administration, Lundin also declined to comment.

According to the website seethroughny.net, CEO Ted BlazerÕ s total pay in 2011 was $188,619.

That October, the agency borrowed $130,000 to cover its payroll costs.

Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall said that though he had full confidence in ORDA, if the village was being audited, as it was a few years prior, Ò I would certainly expect that I would have to produce [the requested documents].Ó Ô NEEDS REALISTIC PLANÕ Ò ORDAÕ s continuing struggles to maintain fiscal balance show that the authority needs to explore new ways to save costs and commit to sound financial planning going forward,”

DiNapoli said. Ò ORDA needs to develop a realistic and detailed multiyear financial plan to build its cash reserves and maintain operations for the economic benefit of local communities, as well as the tens of thousands of people who enjoy its attractions.Ó ORDA operates the Whiteface and Gore Mountain Ski Centers in the Adirondacks, the Olympic facilities in Lake Placid, and the Belleayre Ski Area in the Catskills. The majority of ORDAÕ s operating revenue was earned in the last five months of its fiscal year, from November through March.

From April 1, 2010, through March 31, 2013, ORDAÕ s losses totaled $4.2 million on a cash basis. From depreciation, accounts receivable and post-employment benefits due its employees, ORDA had losses totaling $45 million over this period.

DiNapoliÕ s auditors found that while state law requires ORDA to establish a fund to provide for capital improvements and major repairs to the Olympic facilities, and requires a deposit of 25 percent of operating profits each year into the fund, ORDA had no profits from operations and had no balance in the fund.

As a consequence, ORDA is dependent on the state and other public entities for capital contributions and grants. For example, the Empire State Development Corporation awarded ORDA a $15.2 million working capital grant in 2006, and, in fiscal year 2012-13, ORDA received

a $5 million appropriation from the New York Works program.

In June 2013, ORDA owed $3.4 million on its outstanding line of credit. At the end of fiscal years 2007-08 through 2012-13, it owed amounts ranging from $2 million to almost $4.6 million.

ORDA incurred $531,518 in interest and fees between January 2008 and June 2013 because of the credit balances.

DiNapoliÕ s auditors examined ORDAÕ s revenue stream, particularly corporate sponsorships, finding the authority could take additional actions to increase its income.

DiNapoliÕ s auditors found the following: In one sponsorship with a vehicle manufacturer, ORDA receives use of up to 12 vehicles for three years at a value of $219,627 over that time. In return, ORDA provides tickets to its venues plus advertising and condominium use at an estimated value of $381,000 per year.

DiNapoliÕ s auditors also reviewed a sample of 29 procurements totaling $8.2 million, finding 11 procurements totaling $427,000 that were not competitively bid. In these cases, ORDA did not provide sufficient documentation as required by its purchasing policy to support why a contractor was selected or why a competitive process was not used.

Adirondack Gives will help monitor loons

RAY BROOK Ñ Biodiversity Research InstituteÕ s (BRIÕ s) Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation is pleased to announce the launch of a new campaign on Adirondack Gives, www.adirondackgives.org, the crowdfunding site for Adirondack region nonprofits. This campaign will provide support for the placement of trail cameras near approximately 30 Common Loon nest sites in the Adirondack Park to document nesting behaviors, clutch size and hatch dates for Adirondack loons and to assess the primary factors, such as predation and human disturbance, impacting the birds during incubation.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) provided the cameras for this project. Support from this campaign, which is seeking to raise $1100 over the next two months, will cover the cost of the lithium-ion batteries and high capacity SD cards used in the cameras. Ò By placing cameras at a variety of loon nest sites, we are better able to assess the impacts of such factors as water level fluctuation, shoreline development, human disturbance and predation on loon nesting successÓ explained Dr. Nina Schoch, coordinator of BRIÕ s Adirondack Loon Center. Ò A pilot study we did in 2013 documented the failure of one loon nest likely related to intensive human disturbance on a busy campground lake, while another nest on a remote lake hatched two chicks successfully.Ó

SLCS Board seeks new member

62234

SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Saranac Lake Central School District Board of Education is soliciting interested candidates to fill an unexpired term that became vacant due to the resignation of a board member. The appointee will hold the seat until the next school board election to be held in May 2015.

Interested applicants must be qualified voters of the district (citizens of the US, at least 18 years old, and residents of the district for a continuous and uninterrupted period of at least one year).

If you are interested in applying for the position, please submit a letter of interest that includes your relevant background information and your reasons for wishing to serve on the school board by 3 p.m. Friday, July 25 to Chris Fransen, District Clerk, Saranac Lake Central School, 79 Canaras Ave., Saranac Lake. For more information, contact Diane Fox, superintendent, at 897-1407.

Images collected in this project will be utilized by the NYS DEC to better manage loon nesting sites in the Adirondack Park to help ensure the successful hatching of loon chicks. This project is conducted under BRI’s federal and state scientific collection permits and in collaboration with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

The nesting period is one of the most critical stages during the annual life cycle of loons to ensure continued survival, long-term sustainability and potential growth of their populations. Thus, it is highly recommended that boaters and paddlers give incubating loons their privacy and watch them from a wide distance with binoculars, instead of disturbing them and potentially causing a nest to fail. It is important to learn about the normal behavior of loons, and other wildlife, so one can properly interpret when a bird is stressed by your presence.

To learn more or to contribute to this campaign, visit www. adirondackgives.org, and click on Ò Help Digitize Historical Adirondack Loon Slides.Ó As a special incentive, donors of $100 or more will receive a beautiful 8x10 photograph of a nesting Adirondack loon.

Valley News Editorial

The best defense when seconds count

A

recent column placed in USA Today draws needed attention to what the national media loves to sweep under the rug: statistics prove that guns can and do save lives.

The column was a paid advertorial called Ò The First-Responders ReportÓ which features real-life situations in which first responders — the intended victim Ñ were able to shoot down the people who attacked them or chase them off by show of arms.

The column is the first in a planned series by GunLaws.com, the website of Bloomfield Press, the countryÕ s largest publisher and distributor of gun-law books, based in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The firm’s publisher, Alan Korwin, believes the liberal national media turns a blind eye to covering situations in which an intended victim defends himself or his family with a firearm.

News reports, Korwin contends, make the mistake of using the term “first responders” for law enforcement personnel when they are often the ones who show up second.

The stories in KorwinÕ s column clearly make this case: A mom with a rifle stops a home invasion in Detroit; a bystander thwarts a kidnapping attempt and pins the assailants on the ground at gun point; a robber picks the wrong store, brings a knife to a gun fight; a woman fends off a man wielding a gardening tool with her sidearm.

These stories are rarely in the public eye, but are known to be common and the statistics affirm that.

A survey of national self defense statistics conducted by Florida State University criminologists found the rate of defensive gun uses annually nationwide is about 2.5 million per year Ñ one defensive gun use every 13 seconds.

Nearly 16 percent of the gun defenders interviewed in the survey said that someone Ò almost certainlyÓ would have died had the gun not been used for protection. Another 83 percent of those involved in successful gun defenses said the attacker either threatened or used force first, disproving the argument that having a gun available for defense wouldnÕ t make a difference.

In 92 percent of these incidents, the criminal attacker was not wounded or killed Ñ thus the incident would not be considered Ò newsworthyÓ by newspaper or television editors. In 73 percent of these gun-defense cases, the attacker was a stranger to the intended victim Ñ defens-

es against a family member or domestic partner were rare, well under 10 percent. This disproves the thinking that a gun kept for self defense will most likely be used against the owner or a family member.

Finally, in nearly 80 percent of these gun defenses, the defender used a concealable handgun. A quarter of the gun defenses occurred in places away from the defenderÕ s home.

A recent study conducted as part of the 23 Executive Actions signed by President Obama last year in an effort to reduce gun violence seems to make the same point. Interestingly, the study was commissioned to help tighten gun laws in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. tragedy, but many of the findings seemed to strengthen the argument in favor of an armed citizenry. Ò Defensive uses of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence although the exact number remains disputed,Ó the study concluded. Ò Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.”

More important, it was discovered that when guns are used in self-defense, the victims consistently have lower injury rates than those who are unarmed, even compared with those who used other forms of self-defense.

So what does all this mean? We think the numbers speak for themselves Ñ the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun and when seconds count, the police are often minutes away, especially in the rural area in which we live.

Laws like Gov. CuomoÕ s Safe Act have proven to do little to prevent gun-related acts from criminals. Instead, these laws hinder the right of law abiding citizens to protect themselves from those breaking the law.

While politicians like Obama and Cuomo stump for more feel good legislation to appease their constituency, the statistics are clear that armed citizens stop more crime than laws regulating firearms or even law enforcement personnel.

We applaud Alan KorwinÕ s effort to draw attention to that fact. ÑD

Letters to the Editor

Appreciates the generosity

Thank You to National Grid To the Editor:

To the Editor: A sincere thank you to all our friends and family who have helped us get through the difficult time following the loss of our loved one, Tim Cox. Your generosity, thoughts and prayers have been greatly appreciated, more than words can say.

A special thank you to the Elizabethtown EMS, uniformed officers, medical personnel, Marvin’s Funeral Home and staff and anyone else who may have been involved in responding to our situation.

The dedication and professionalism of these caretakers is beyond what most of us can ever comprehend. Thanks and you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

The Cox Family, Elizabethtown

On Tuesday July 8th as many know the area was hit hard by a severe storm network. Very high winds leveled hundreds of tree down along Miller Road and took down several power supply poles. It also snapped the power pole at the corner of Rt. 9 and Blue Ridge Road about 10 feet from the top. The pole snapped and hung at about a 33 degree angle leaving the power and phone lines approximately 16 feet from the ground.

I drove to the South end of Miller Rd. and headed north. I got to where the mentioned crew was working and obviously stopped by the job supervisor and told not to go any further. I got out and chatted with him for a bit and got permission to walk down to a certain point to snap some photos. I stopped to thank him for allowing me to get some photos. I talked to him about the broken pole just north of where they were working, which of course they aware of. I told him of my fear of the pole breaking more bringing the power-phone lines below thirteen feet which

a semi-truck would hit and create a huge mess. He informed me that they had hoped to make it to the pole to at least shore it up that night but due to regulations the crew had to be off duty by 11:00. Safety in any job is important but when you are working with 3200 volts you have better be on your game!

That night at about 9:30 I get a knock on the door and it is a crewman from National Grid to let me know we had power as he did for many in the area. He told me they were able to safely secure the pole so they could restore power to much of the North Hudson area. Sadly Blue Ridge would be without power another night because of the dynamics to the poles repair.

Early the next morning they were busy installing and changing over the LIVE power lines.

I feel these men went above and beyond getting power back to as many folks as they possibly could. Then to notify as many folks as possible the power was back on, that is nothing but above and beyond.

Thank you all.

KEENE VALLEY Ñ The Mountaineer, in partnership with Patagonia, Inc., made a $1,000 donation to The Nature Conservancy’s Adirondack Chapter to support the nonprofit organization’s work with state and local transportation agencies to upgrade bridges and culverts with structures that simulate natural stream conditions. Replacing substandard culverts with properly sized, fish-friendly structures provides ecological, economic, recreational and social benefits.

Specifically, the funding will help the Conservancy with GIS mapping work integral to assessing and prioritizing culverts for replacement or upgrade in the Ausable River watershed. When culverts are too small or are poorly designed in relation to the streams they carry, both human communities, infrastructure and aquatic ecosystems may be at risk. As many communities saw in the wake of Hurricane Irene, undersized and misaligned culverts are more likely to blow out during floods, creating safety hazards, damaging roads, structures and property and requiring replacement. These failures are expensive. In addition to the hard costs associated with infrastructure repair, there is a cascade of other costs to local communities and businesses in terms of lost revenues when roads are impassa ble or rivers can no longer support species like brook trout, which provide a draw for tourism.

Solomon Northup to be celebrated

PERU Ñ Solomon Northup, the free born Adirondack man kidnapped into slavery who told his powerful story in Ò 12 Years a Slave,Ó will be celebrated with a lecture on Sunday, July 20 in Peru.

This small community played a part in NorthupÕ s story. he once had a contract to ship Peru-grown lumber south on Lake Champlain to the Albany-Troy area. Northup did transport the lumber but didnÕ t get paid and then took George Washington Allen of Jabez Allen Road to court.

Details of this dramatic story will form the basis of the Solomon Northup program at the Peru Free Library, sponsored by the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association.

NorthupÕ s telling of his kidnapping into slavery was a bestselling book in the 1850s, and the movie version won the Academy Award for Best Picture earlier this year.

Don Papson, the founder and past president of the association, who has been researching and writing about the Solomon Northup story and other aspects of slavery and freedom for over a decade, will lead the program.

Also speaking will be Helen Allen Nerska, president of the Clinton County Historical Association and a descendent of the family involved in that lumber dispute with Northup. Her great, great, great uncle was born in Peru, grandson of Jabez Allen, one of PeruÕ s original settlers.

Free and open to all, the program begins at 5 p.m. at the Peru Free Library, 3024 Main St. Solomon Northup Day will be celebrated Saturday, July 19, at Saratoga Springs.

Stroke support group to meet

SARANAC LAKE Ñ Surviving a life-changing event such as a stroke often begins a journey of adjustment and challenge, not just for the survivor but for family members, friends and caregivers. Adirondack Health will host a Stroke Support Group meeting on Tuesday, July 22 in the 1st Floor Conference Room at Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake from 3-4:30 p.m. A stroke often creates physical and emotional changes for the survivor and family members.

Songs at Mirror Lake announces Blues Night

LAKE PLACID Ñ The Pines Inn Songs at Mirror Lake Music Series presented by Adirondack Ò By OwnerÓ has announced the fourth performance in the seven week series, scheduled for Tuesday, July 22, as Blues Night with Quinn Sullivan. The Pines Inn Songs at Mirror Lake Music Series presented by Adirondack Ò By OwnerÓ is held at 7 p.m. on seven Tuesdays throughout the summer at MidÕ s Park on Main Street, Lake Placid. This will be the first of many performances in the newly renovated Paul White Memorial Band Shell at MidÕ s Park.

These weekly performances, running from July 1 through Aug.12, feature local, regional and national acts in the scenic and historic setting of MidÕ s Park on Main Street, Lake Placid. The series features local and regional emerging artists in a variety of musical genres and provides valuable exposure to these up and coming acts. The music series is also an opportunity to introduce residents and visitors to a diverse range of musical genres in a scenic and relaxing setting.

Six years ago, legendary multi-Grammy winning blues guitarist, Buddy Guy, had a remarkable encounter when an 8-year-old boy named Quinn Sullivan joined him on stage demonstrating amazing musical prowess. Guy, so taken with the youngsterÕ s preternaturally mature guitar-slinging skills, became a mentor to the New Bedford, Mass. native. That circumstance led to QuinnÕ s playing a blistering solo that belied his tender age on Ò Whose Gonna Fill Those Shoes,Ó Ñ a track on Skin Deep, GuyÕ s 2008 Grammy-nominated album that also included guest performances from Eric Clapton, Robert Randolph, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi. Quinn would go on to tour with Guy, who would proudly introduce him to an international audience.

Now, the 14 year old has fulfilled his mentor’s vision with an

all-new album to be released by SuperStar Records June 18. Getting There was produced and co-written with Grammy award winner Tom Hambridge, who first encountered Quinn during Guy’s Skin Deep sessions, an album Hambridge also produced. The Getting There album showcases QuinnÕ s wide range and includes blues, pop and rock tracks that will appeal to music fans of any age that favor authentic guitar-driven grooves and melodies. Quinn, as it happens, is as adept at vocals as he is Quinn Sullivan at making his beloved Stratocaster sing.

Since his Ò discoveryÓ by Guy, Quinn has appeared on national televisions shows including Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Ellen, Oprah and The Today Show and was featured in Guitar Player and Guitar World magazines. He has shared stages not only with Guy but also with such greats as B.B. King, Jonny Lang and many others at iconic venues including the Hollywood Bowl and both New YorkÕ s Apollo and Beacon Theaters. Quinn received a major honor being the youngest artist to play the world renowned Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and will be performing at Eric ClaptonÕ s Crossroads Guitar Festival at Madison Square Garden in April, along with an all-star lineup and in Columbus, Ohio at the Blues for a Cure charity event April 27.

Sullivan is excited that he has Getting There, his own album on the way, and said Ò IÕ m excited join forces with SuperStar Records and to work with Tom Hambridge whose production, tours and songs with Buddy, BB King, Delbert McClinton, Susan

Tedeschi, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Shemekia Copeland and so many others I totally respect. IÕ m living my dream every day, learning from the masters and looking forward to playing for everybody in person and on the album. Ò For more information, go to quinnsullivanmusic.com and follow Quinn on Facebook (quinnsullivanrocks), Twitter (quinnsullivan1) and his YouTube channel (quinn sullivantv).
