2023 World University Games bid gets state OK Effort projected to cost $35 million, but expected to buoy economy

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

STATE SUPPORT CRITICAL

LAK~ PLACID 2023 315 T WINTER UNIVERSIADE B IDD ING CIT Y

LAKE PLACID | The state has thrown their support behind Lake Placid’s bid to host a massive winter international athletic event.

While not a third Olympic Games, long an apple in the eye of local officials, the Winter Universiade is the largest university winter multi-sport competition in the world.

The 11-day event, also known as the World University Games, is held every two years in different locations, drawing thousands of athletes and spectators.

With the last local installment staged in Lake

New York State has thrown its support behind Lake Placid’s bid to host the 2023 World University Games.

Photo provided Placid in 1972, the region is again gunning to host the 2023 World University Games.

“The World University Games is the same in competition, style and ceremonies as the Olympics, but totally imaginable for our region,” said Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism CEO James McKenna.

While he didn’t mention it in his 92-minute stemwinder last week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo pledged state support for the event.

“In conjunction with his ongoing commitment to modernizing winter sports infrastructure across New York, Gov. Cuomo will work together with local government and the private sector to help Lake Placid put forth the best possible bid,” according to the official 2018 State of the State agenda guide released Wednesday.

And that’s exactly what the Adirondack North Country Global Sports Committee (ANCGSC) needed to hear.

The governor’s endorsement immediately set off a chain of events.

The group, which was formed last year to spearhead the effort, included the excerpt from the proposal into their official bid dossier alongside a formal letter signed by Cuomo.

Organizers said they planned on submitting the application to the International University Sports Federation (FISU) by the end of the week.

FISU officials will conduct a site visit in Lake Placid from Jan. 29 through Feb. 3.

And in March, the local committee will formally venture to Lausanne, Switzerland to make their case personally at FISU Headquarters.

Hosting the games could cost between $30 million to $35 million, according to a report prepared for the ANCGSC by TSE Consulting – North America.

The governor’s announcement did not specify a dollar amount associated with state support.

But it read, “New York State is proud of its support for Lake Placid as a global destination since the historic 1980 Olympic Games, and Gov. Cuomo is committed to maintaining and expanding that legacy.”

“We don’t have any of that information yet,” Bid Director Darcy Norfolk told The Sun on Thursday.

That preliminary $35 million figure will likely be broken down between ANCGSC, FISU and presumably, the state. » Games Cont. on pg. 4

Keene council Dems seeking to defeat Stefanik approves shuttle joust to escape from the pack van purchase Eight candidates seek to draw contrast as they work to New 15-passenger vehicle to ferry hikers from Marcy Field to Garden trailhead

unseat second-term lawmaker

» Stefanik Cont. on pg. 2

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

KEENE | Elected officials in Keene approved the purchase a new 15-passenger van.

The vehicle will be used to shuttle hikers from overflow parking at Marcy Field back and forth from the Garden, a major High Peaks Wilderness trail hub.

According to Dec. 12 town meeting minutes, Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson Jr. opened the two sealed bids and the lowest price was $33,385 from Egglefield Ford in Elizabethtown.

Wilson said the shuttle is not equipped for handicapped access due to its function in getting hikers to mountain trails.

Councilors said the Garden shuttle vehicle has never been fitted for handicapped use in the past. And they compared the cost: Buying a handicapped van at $120,000 versus bids received nets a $90,000 difference in price.

Councilor Jerry Smith asked if the old shuttle bus would be repaired and used for area senior services, and the supervisor said it “may be, but could not keep going up and down the Garden Road.” » Shuttle Cont. on pg. 14

» Stefanik Cont. from pg. 1

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 the party’s reliance on corporate donations.

And others sought to define themselves by tearing into Stefanik again and again,

The eight Democratic candidates seeking to defeat Rep. Elise Stefanik met for a panel discussion at the Moreau Community Center in South Glens Falls on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2018.

Photo by Pete DeMola 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

Nominations OPENHOUSEAT sought for CHAMPLAIN Winter Carnival king and queen VALLEYMILLING

Planning for Saranac Lake Winter Carnival continues

SARANAC LAKE | The Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee is currently seeking nominations from the public for the 2018 Winter Carnival king and queen.

The king and queen selection is based upon volunteerism within the community.

Candidates should demonstrate a long-term and broad-based commitment to making life more livable, pleasant and enjoyable — both for the people who live here and for those who visit.

The volunteer activities can be organized or completely self-motivated. They can be as diverse as organizing a major community event or as seemingly minor as shoveling a neighbor’s sidewalk.

The committee is seeking people who help others independently, not people who are in professions that help or care for others.

Nominations must be received no later than Jan. 18. Submissions should be mailed to the Winter Carnival Committee, Attention: King/Queen Nomination, P.O. Box

829, Saranac Lake, NY 12983.

For more information, contact Barb Martin at 518-891-2382.

Once the nominations have been collected, all past kings and queens are invited to an assembly which will select the new king and queen from the nominations. This meeting is on Jan. 19 at a secret location.

PARADE APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE

Applications for parade performers participating during the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival are now available online at saranaclakewintercarnival.com.

Applications can also be picked up at the Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce at 39 Main St. This year’s theme is “Adirondack Festival.”

Completed parade applications should be e-mailed to parade@saranaclakwintercarnival.com, dropped off at the Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, or mailed to the Winter Carnival Committee at P.O. Box 829, Saranac Lake, NY 12983, no later than Feb. 7.

“We encourage people to get their applications in early so they can join the festivities of Winter Carnival,” said Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Chairman Jeff Branch. ■

Essex church gets renovation Original church now part of Essex Inn

By Keith Lobdell EDITOR

ESSEX | The first church in the hamlet of Essex has been restored to its original glory and beyond by its new owners.

Rick Dalton of the Essex Inn showed The Sun the newly renovated 150-year old building — known locally as the “Old Stone Church” — which has been remade as a rental suite and hall for the property.

“We have had wedding receptions and a yoga conference here so far,” Dalton said. “We will be having a retirement party here. as well as other events. It was a chance to restore the church and make it something the town could use for various events.”

In the main hall are two of five restored pews, a piano and the centerpiece, a chandelier which came to Essex from France.

“It was constructed in France and brought through New York, and was originally oil-lit before being converted to electric,” Dalton said. “I think through the restoration it looks better than it ever did before.”

The hall is also adorned with the stained-glass windows from the turn of the century. There are very few places that are as beautiful as this stained-glass because of the lighting in this place.”

The building was constructed as the first church in Essex

The Old Stone Church has been renovated and is now part of the Essex Inn. in 1835, and has gone through a number of resurrections, from church to Masonic Lodge, to Grange and to county meal site.

“The town wasn’t sure what they wanted to do with it and we talked to them and ended up with it,” Dalton said.

“There were issues with it when it was a meal site. We had to take it down all the way to the walls.”

Dalton said it took about 10 months to restore the old » Games Cont. from pg. 1

“The contribution of FISU to the economic activity of the event is considerable and not only relieves the Organizing Committee of substantial financial obligations but also creates guaranteed revenue for activities surrounding the event,” according to the report.

Projected revenue streams will also include athlete participation fees, as well as ticket sales and merchandising.

More info will be crystallized soon, Norfolk said.

If successful, organizers expect at least 2,500 athletes from 50 nations in Europe and Asia. The 2017 Winter Universiade in Almaty, Kazakhstan had a record 57 countries compete, with over 360 million viewers worldwide.

“We wanted to create something the town could use. This is part of the history of this town and we wanted something people in town could use as well as the Inn.” Dalton said he feels the restoration is a part of economic expansion for the small hamlet.

If FISU fails to select Lake Placid to host the event, there will still be some heavy-duty backup.

The Olympic Village has been selected to host both the 2019 International Children’s Games and the 2021 Bobsled and Skeleton World Championships.

Bringing the games to Lake Placid will further strengthen the town’s legacy as a global center for winter sports, say supporters.

“The World University Games would be a catalyst for renewed spirit and international sport legacy in the region,” said Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall in a statement.

Despite the sunny forecasts, the proposal isn’t without its criticisms.

Charles Walsh of Lake Placid has raised a number of questions surrounding the project, including accountability, costs, taxpayer risks and the overall benefit to the community.

“When the Lake Placid delegation was investigating the possibility of hosting the World University Games, I envisioned it would be an expanded version

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 Stewart’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 generosity 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. ■

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.

Annual fundraiser brings a little yardsale action to winter

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Gathering pace over the past few frigid weeks, items are stacking up for the second-annual Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School Class of 2024 Rummage Sale.

It’s a hint of summer yard-saling in one big room.

The fundraiser benefits educational outings and social events for the class as outlined by co-advisor Jess Buehler, who developed the fun indoor winter sale with her counterpart, advisor and ELCS English instructor Sarah Rice.

“We’re feverishly stocking up goods for the 2nd Annual Rummage Sale to be held at the ELCS Auditorium on Jan. 13,” Buehler said via email.

Program on state Health Act slated Jan. 18

SARANAC LAKE | Expert panelists will present information about pending New York universal health care coverage legislation on Thursday, Jan. 18 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Harrietstown Town Hall. The legislation, which has passed three times in the New York State Assembly, would ensure that all New Yorkers

raising to advance the educational experiences of these kids is unwavering, which is why we’ve deciding to keep this event rolling right through 2024,” Buehler said.

“Funds collected between now and then will be used to support Junior Prom and the Senior Class trip. This group had a blast through their experiential learning trip to Boston last year, and we’ve talked about a similar trip to Washington, D.C. for their senior trip.”

The indoor rummage event was well received and well attended last year, Buehler said.

“When (Rice) and I brainstormed about fundraising last year for the class trip to Boston, we talked about things that wouldn’t be too taxing on parents, families and community. The Rummage Sale was (Rice’s) idea and it was a brilliant success.”

Items placed out on tables and around the auditorium floor are all donated.

With a busy Facebook page, class advisors and parents look to have lots of interesting items to repurpose.

“Items collected are in good shape and ready for re-homing,” Buehler said, listing categories such as “home goods (dressers, tables/chairs, linens, cookware); personal goods (purses, belts, bags, jewelry); office

have comprehensive insurance coverage through a single payer system. Panelists will explain the legislation and how it would affect residents, providers and funding. There will be opportunity for audience participation. Informational handouts on the legislation will be available and information provided for those interested in volunteering with the campaign for the NYS Health Act. The program, sponsored by Adirondack Voters for Change, is free to attend. ■

Are you interested in helping us care for the animals at the shelter? Then

By Kathy Wilcox consider joining our PAW-MAZING group • COLUMNIST • of cat care volunteers!

Our cat care volunteers help ensure that the cats in our adoption area are fed, loved, healthy and have a clean and comfy environment in which to relax.

Cat care volunteer shifts are only in the morning, so all cat areas are cleaned and our feline friends have had their breakfast by 12 p.m. We currently have two openings for Sundays. Email volunteer@ncspca. org for more information.

Speaking of cats, our featured pet this week is SHIMMER, a sweet Domestic Shorthair-mix who has the cutest little black-and-white splotchy face and beautiful emerald eyes. And those whiskers! They are pure white, incredibly long and positively stunning.

Shimmer came in as a stray and had everyone fooled into thinking this plump little lady was expecting kittens — however, she proved us wrong! Shimmer loves the company of people, but would prefer to be the only cat in your household, so she can truly “shine.”

Please consider giving this exquisite little cat the forever home she so desperately deserves! ■ — Kat Wilcox’s weekly column works to publicize the shelter’s adoptable pets. Find out more at ncspca.org

Lawmakers await remaining broadband grants State will commit $225 million in funding for third and final round of broadband grants

ing 2 percent of New Yorkers, connecting approximately 120,000 locations, according to the governor’s State of the State agenda released last week.

Round 3 is expected to catalyze more than $360 million in total investment, including $225 million in state funds.

“In the fall, they said in December there would be an announcement,” Stec said. “And here we are on Jan. 2, and they haven’t said what those grants are.”

“I would fully expect [an announcement] in a few weeks,” he said.

A spokesperson for Empire State Development (ESD) declined to disclose an announcement date.

“No announcement has yet been made on Round 3 but I’ll be sure to forward you the announcement when it is made,” wrote a spokesman on Jan. 2.

The first two phases saw a total of $40 million in direct state investment in the North Country.

About 4,000 homes across a large swatch of Essex County were included in the second round, which was announced last February.

Providers received funds for projects in Elizabethtown, Lewis, Willsboro, Essex, Jay, Wilmington, Keene, Westport, Chesterfield and Newcomb.

Work on many of those efforts is underway, with reps from Frontier Communications, Cable Communications of Willsboro and Chazy and Westport Telecom telling The Sun in November they were confident they’d meet the 2018 deadline.

But lawmakers have continued to express concerns that some areas may be left behind, citing flawed U.S. Census maps to determine which areas are served with broadband.

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | The state has a year until their self-imposed deadline to provide universal broadband access for all New Yorkers.

Fifty-one weeks, actually.

But who’s counting?

Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) thinks the state will fall short of that goal.

“I don’t expect this third round will get us to 100 percent,” Stec told Essex County lawmakers on Jan. 2. “There will still be a difference of where we’re projected to land at end of Phase 3 and that 95 percent.

“I suspect we’re going to need to put more money into it to get where we want,” Stec said.

The New NY Broadband Program, introduced in 2015 with an announcement in Lake Placid, aims to provide three rounds of state grants totaling $500 million augmented with federal funds and private investment.

Charter Communications has also committed to providing service as part of its merger with Time Warner.

The reverse bidding process for the third and final round concluded in August, and the results have not yet been announced.

The final round will address the remain-

Stec said the state Broadband Program Office, a division of ESD, is well aware of lawmaker concerns, citing a meeting in April in which local officials peppered reps with questions.

“I still think they have a greater level of confidence in the maps than the people sitting around this room do,” Stec said.

The ESD spokesperson did not directly address that statement, although the agency encouraged local lawmakers in the past to conduct their own mapping efforts to identify any potential blind spots in their communities.

Stec appeared at the legislative body’s annual organizational meeting.

The state legislative session began on Jan. 3.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo didn’t discuss broadband in his lengthy State of the State speech

But the book detailing his agenda said completing the project remained a priority, and touted the program’s success in reducing the number of un- and underserved homes, which was 30 percent of the state at the program’s inception.

“Round 3 projects that address eligible locations will also have access to matching funds in federal Connect America Fund support through the state’s unique partnership with the Federal Communications Commission,” read the report. “After Round 3, it is anticipated that 99.9 percent of New Yorkers will have commitments for high-speed broadband access, with all but 1 percent having access to 100 mbps service or better.” ■

Schwoebel newest member of Westport 1,000-point club Now, the Lady Eagles add the name of Hannah Schwoebel to the exclusive club, which includes three of the top 10 scorers in Section VII history (Julie Moore - first, Erin Pratt - fourth, Aimee Marsh - 10th), along with alumni Korina Conley, Tina Evans and Mika Conley.

“It’s amazing,” said Schwoebel about joining the list. “They are all my idols and I have been working to accomplish this since I was in fourth grade, honestly, I am so honored that my name is even on that list.”

Schwoebel scored her 1,000th career point on a put-back layup in the fourth quarter of the Eagles’ Dec. 27 game against Moriah in the Ticonderoga Christmas Tournament — an appropriate way for the senior center to score as a player who has dominated the paint and secured many buckets due to her prowess on the offensive glass.

“I think her desire and overall play led her to this moment,” coach Brad Rascoe said. “She is intense on offense and defense.

She is a hard worker all of the time and very deserving of this.”

Both Schwoebel and Rascoe had a sense of relief after the game.

TICONDEROGA | Some of the greatest girl’s basketball players in Section VII history have come through Westport Central School and have their names on the 1,000 point scoring list.

“It’s a huge relief,” Schwoebel said. “It was a lot of pressure that is now off. I have to give credit to my teammates, they killed it during the past few games to help me get here.”

“The focus now is to play my game, play hard, come together as a team and go as far as we can,” she added.

“We need to just play our game now,” said Rascoe. “We do not have anything we are waiting on and Hannah can go out and play her game. When she is on, it makes it tough for other teams to defend us.

“Our focus is going to be on our defense and getting back into transition,” Schwoebel said. “We want to be able to beat teams with our game.” ■

Former Westport boy’s player now serves on Uconn women’s bench Thomas Mero learning from Auriemma, Lady Huskies

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

Westport Central alum Thomas Mero works on the sidelines for the University of Connecticut’s women’s basketball program, one of the most successful sports programs in history.

Photo provided/Mero Family

» Shuttle Cont. from pg. 1 The council unanimously approved purchase of the new van from Egglefield Ford.

The competing bid for a similar van from Marchese Ford came in slightly higher at $33,989, according to public meeting notes.

Parking and shuttle fees pay for the shuttle’s upkeep.

WESTPORT | Back for the Christmas break, Thomas Mero sits on the sidelines of his sister, Abby’s, varsity basketball game, taking in the action.

Mero, a graduate of Westport Central School and now in his sophomore year at the University of Connecticut, also gets the chance to take in the action of the famed UConn women’s basketball program, as he has a front row seat while serving as a team manager, “He gets to do a few games this year and work at the practices,” father Phil Mero said. “If he stays on, he will get the chance to do more games and travel with the team.

It’s a great opportunity because he gets to see the game at it’s highest level in a program like UConn.”

“When I went here, I thought it would be a good opportunity if I got the chance,” Mero said about joining the Lady Huskies staff as a student manager. “This year, I got an email the second or third week of the year from one of my advisors and decided to give it a shot.”

Mero went through all of the interviews as well as attending practices to get used to the team and the requirements of the job. Once the process was through, Mero was

informed be had the job.

“It’s good for my major because the way they are run, it is the closest you can get to being a professional team with the way they run things and work,” said Mero, a sports management major. “I want to learn more about organization itself within the program because basketball is where I would like to work in the future and I am hoping to get everything I can out of my time with the program.”

The Lady Huskies basketball program, led by Hall of Fame coach Geno Auriema, is the definition of a sports dynasty, holding almost every collegiate basketball record you can name — men or women.

The team has won 11 national titles and 23 conference titles, with Auriema compiling an college record 0f 1,004 wins against only 135 losses heading into the season (between his 900th and 1,004th career win, he lost only one game). UConn has also set the record for consecutive wins not once, but twice.

Mero said the job has given him an opportunity to have a glimpse into what makes Auriema and the program successful.

“The discipline they go through every day is amazing,” Mero said. “They practice hard every day and go over things multiple times so they have everything down. It’s not something they just turn on for game days.

“You see (Auriema) and you think he is a tough, intimidating coach, but he does do a great job getting to know his players and pushing them to be the best they can be,” he continued. “I definitely hope this leads to more opportunities in the program.” ■

Last season, the Town of Keene charged $10, or $13 Canadian, per calendar day for parking at the Garden or for round-trip shuttle services from Marcy Field.

Town attendants staff the parking area from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays and from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

The shuttle leaves about every half hour during summer and fall weekends.

The funds raised also pay for port-o-potties at trailheads.

Wilson also provided a brief update on several parking-related changes proposed in the Sentinel Range Wilderness Unit Management Plan, which is now at DEC for final changes.

The public comment period closed Dec. 22.

The parking lot at the east end of Pitchoff Mountain near the twin bridges “is being closed,” he said, and the “trail will be changed to connect to the parking areas above the Cascade Lakes.”

Wilson told town councilThe Area~ Largest Selection of ors he warned DEC that this Serta Mattresses! ~ might exacerbate the parking mess in the Cascade pass.

Town employees and state Department of Environmental Conservation forest rangers monitor the Garden lot during the week.

Parking attendant and shuttle services began in Keene Valley years ago in response to illegal and unsafe parking by hikers.

The parking and shuttle fees also cover hourly wages for the attendants, maintenance of the van, operation of the van and for winter plowing at the Garden, Rooster Comb and Roaring Brook parking areas.

Conservation Conversations

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,

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. ■
