North Country hungry for broadband details

One month after $103.5 million announcement, details remain scant on final broadband stretch

OLYMPICS COME TO HILLS OF MINEVILLE

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

MORIAH| It’s been one month since the governor doled out $210 million in state grant funds to mop up the final round of the state’s universal broadband project.

But information on exactly which local communities will be wired, and by which provider, remains unclear.

The 43 awarded projects announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month in Plattsburgh will cover 122,285 locations statewide, including $103.5 million for six providers to connect an unspecified number of North Country units. » Broadband Cont. on pg. 3

Students at the Mineville campus of Champlain Valley Educational Services were able to compete in their own version of the Olympics over the past week, complete with events like curling and biathlon hockey.

Adirondack Film Festival shuffles schedule New date, new events ahead for film society

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

LAKE PLACID | The Lake Placid Film Forum will undergo several changes and new features in 2018, beginning with a change in date from summer to fall.

Tagging the forum as “Destined to be a new October classic,” the festival will move from June to Oct. 26-28, focusing on the theme of diversity in film.

“We want to bring this passion of these films and their messages of interesting topics and interesting people and hope to bring each of you with us,” said Gary Smith, the new director of the festival.

“We want to look at various types of diversity: cultural, economic, ethnic, gender and geographic diversity,” Smith said. “We want to be reflecting through the lens of multiple filmmakers to celebrate what this great industry is about.”

NEW DATE Adirondack Film Society members Fred Balzac, Heather Smith, John Huttlinger and Gary Smith stand at the Palace Theatre concession area as they announce the return of the Adirondack Film Festival, taking place this year in October.

With the new dates, organizers believe they will have more access to some of the films that are shown at some of the biggest festivals in the fall, including Telluride, Toronto and New York.

“We will have he ability to see them ahead and see which ones will pop,” said John Huttlinger, chair of the Adirondack Film Society, which runs the festival. “This way we will have more selection to work with.”

The date change will also allow organizers to review more films and reach out to other filmmakers and lecturers who may be willing to participate in the festival.

“We want to take advantage of everything we can when it comes to the cutting edge of filmmaking,” Huttlinger said.

MURDER MYSTERY FUNDRAISER

The society will work throughout the year to raise funds for the event, including a new “murder mystery” fundraiser April 28.

Huttlinger said the society has received a lot of local support, including from the Cloudsplitter Foundation, which awarded the society with a $2,000 funding award.

“Essex County has been very good to us, as well,” Huttlinger said. “Since Randy (Preston) and Roby (Politi), have been there, we have seen an increase in funding. The town and village have also been generous.”

TICONDEROGA | Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union membership is now open to individuals in Essex, Washington, Warren, Franklin and Clinton counties, as well as Addison County in Vermont.

The Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union (TFCU) recently announced that the National Credit Union Administration had approved their request to expand their field of membership.

TFCU was founded by employees of International Paper Company’s Ticonderoga Mill and granted a federal charter in 1954.

Since that time, TFCU has received various charter expansions and has grown in the communities of Essex and Washington counties

The Sun, citing a letter from former Time Warner Northeast Franchising Director David Whalen. “Nothing has been done.”

Scozzafava gave a Charter representative a tour of underserved areas last April.

“Somebody really has to hold their feet to the fire for accountability,” he said.

Charter declined to discuss details of a possible agreement.

“We are currently working with Supervisor Scozzafava on a franchise renewal, and look forward to a successful outcome,” Pritchard said.

Verizon was also awarded $70.7 million last month in Connect America Fund monies, but details have still have yet to be made public.

“Phase 3 municipal data will be available soon,” said Jason Conwall, a spokesman for Empire State Development, the state agency that oversees the Broadband Program Office, on Feb. 16.

Once the municipal data goes live on the agency’s website, people will be able to see the awards broken out by every village, town, city and county across the state, Conwall said.

The BPO will also publish all awarded U.S. Census blocks, with a reference to which company was awarded each block, he said.

FRUSTRATED AT DELAYS

The website remained devoid of details on Sunday.

Local lawmakers are growing frustrated.

“I’ve heard absolutely nothing,” Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland told The Sun. “It’s very disheartening to be jerked around like this.”

Broadband, he said, is the lynchpin to economic development in Essex County.

“You’ve got to provide the background for which people can establish economic enterprises,” he said. “Without it, people are just going to leave.”

While Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and Keene have nearly widespread access, Gillilland said the rest of the county is a crapshoot, including the Champlain Valley, a hotbed of the local farm-to-table movement.

A handful of providers received grant funds last year to wire those communities, and work is underway, said providers, including Westport Chazy Telecom and Cable Communications of Willsboro.

But it’s difficult to discern precisely which areas are served, Gillilland said, because providers are not obligated to share their service areas with the public, citing their proprietary nature.

Franklin County Legislature Chair Barbara Rice said she was also still awaiting clarity.

“There are significant areas in Franklin County that remain underserved,” Rice said.

“We don’t have the details yet.”

Data detailing the grant awards is not presented in an easy-to-interpret format.

AdkAction.org, a nonprofit that has aided local stakeholders in solving the Adirondack Park’s broadband needs, recently conducted mapping efforts designed to offer a rough visual representation of unserved areas.

But the maps are not specific, illustrating general coverage areas — not address-level data.

EYE ON SATELLITE

Gov. Andrew Cuomo delivers comments at Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2018.

Photo by Pete DeMola based outfit reveal large portions of Essex, Lewis and Willsboro contain areas eligible to be served by some $170 million in federal Connect America Funding, for instance, but offer few other details.

CHARTER CONNECTIONS

The state has pledged universal access by the end of the year, and has vowed to leave no area uncovered.

“When we started this program just a few years ago, 20 percent of the North Country had internet access,” Cuomo said last month.

The Adirondacks is home to some of the state’s trickiest terrain, and the so-called “lastmile” has been notoriously difficult to wire due to the prohibitive cost of installation.

As a result, many providers have balked at wiring the remaining areas.

In addition to the grants, the state is banking on Spectrum (formerly known as Charter) to expand coverage to 145,000 homes statewide as part of their merger agreement with Time Warner.

The state Public Service Commission (PSC) is also requiring the provider to offer upgrades to homes located within their current footprint.

The BPO offered all U.S. Census blocks in the state as eligible for bidding in the New NY Broadband Program except for those that either already have high-speed access or already have a contractual commitment to provide service in the near future.

“The vast majority of these are areas committed to by Charter Communications,”

said Conwall, the ESD spokesman. “If not awarded in our program, and unserved, these are likely Charter commitment areas.”

Like with the final round of grants, lawmakers continue to await specific details on those efforts.

While the provider has confirmed they have built out to homes and businesses in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, they declined to provide exact details.

“We reported 42,000+ in our most recent update to the state as of Dec. 2017,” Laura Pritchard, a spokesman, told The Sun, noting that number exceeded the interim goal by over 6,100 locations.

“Our report summary doesn’t include detail from every county, and we’ll extend our network to additional homes and businesses in these counties as we work toward the 145,000 commitment,” Pritchard said, Spectrum has, however, provided a website in which residents can enter their address to see if their home is slated to be included in future expansion efforts.

The provider serves about half of the households in the Town of Moriah, according to Supervisor Tom Scozzafava.

But he’s peeved at the delay in the renegotiation of a franchise agreement he said will provide a definitive timeline to wire the remaining homes in his community. “(Time Warner) told me on Oct. 14, 2015 they would expand to Cheney Road, Route 9N and other locations,” Scozzafava told

Cuomo said 99.9 percent of the state will have access to speeds of 100 mbps or greater upon the program’s completion, with 25 mbps for the most “rural and remote areas.”

Some 70,000 underserved homes will be served by a satellite service offering 25 mbps, which is higher speeds than prior satellite offerings, according to the BPO. The unspecified areas are primarily those that were available in prior rounds, but received no bids.

Little, the state senator, admitted she didn’t have all the details.

“One (provider) launched a new satellite that will be active in February,” Little said.

“It’s bigger and faster.”

Conwall, the ESD spokesman, said details on the exact geography and the provider are coming soon.

“For these homes — which, if not for these efforts, would go unserved due to the cost of bringing broadband to such rural and remote areas — a dish will be available at a fraction of the standard cost,” Conwall said.

Stakeholders have said the economics, even with a relatively high level of state subsidies, was not enough for companies to apply for these areas in prior rounds.

But the satellite service is far more cost-effective approach with public dollars compared to what could have been tens of thousands per home in these remote areas, officials have said.

The governor said the state is working with the technology that is currently available to fulfill the program, and cannot afford to wait for the next generation of new technology.

“Then you’d be waiting a long period of time, and I don’t know if that moment ever comes when you have the final technological solution,” Cuomo said.

Partisanship From the Editorial Board must stop State proposal to cap Adirondack tax payments is a bad move Each week I tell myself, enough already — quit barking up the same tree.

But each week, I see

By Dan Alexander partisanship growing • PUBLISHER • as we continue down this slippery slope.

I get the fact that we’ve become loyal to those who provide a message each can endorse. As such, we turn a deaf ear to those who profess a view not aligned with our beliefs.

Both sides make good logical points in support of the positions each firmly believes, and that produces a resolve that only intensifies and hardens their desire to reject arguments from the opposing side.

I see two potential paths: Either one side finds a way to sufficiently win over a significant number of the opposition and finally dispels that line of thinking.

The other is we find a way to begin listening to each other and seek a compromise.

The sooner we can come to terms with the latter, the sooner we can put an end to the rage and frustration that is so apparent in every confrontation.

It seems clear, given the actions of former President Obama and President Trump, that without compromising support from Congress, we will be unable to pass needed legislation forcing more executive orders which are then challenged in the courts and deemed legal or unconstitutional depending on the party controlling the court.

Don’t think for a minute the courts aren’t partisan leaning in their views.

It takes an open mind to be objective, and it’s not easy. I think we can all agree on that point… at least I hope we can all agree, for if we can’t, our fate is doomed.

The two current issues facing us, immigration and school shootings, will never be addressed if we continue to stalemate. Both sides have compelling points, and the only solution is bipartisan compromise by all parties, including those who are single issue-oriented.

If our democracy fails to compromise and fails to solve these issues, the only alternative is a one-sided government takeover in some form or another or an open civil war.

By that, please understand it may not mean traditional war as the type waged in the 1800s, but more like the type of war we already see on our streets with police shootings; in the media with one-sided bias journalism and online cyberattacks.

We need to recognize the signs of what is already taken place over the last few years and realize it’s only the beginning. ■

Albany and the Adirondacks are engaged in a standoff.

Local governments and environmental groups have united to blast an executive state budget proposal to use payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements instead of market value to calculate taxes on the vast Forest Preserve holdings in the Adirondack Park and the Catskills.

The state is currently required to pay full property taxes on Forest Preserve, annual payments that account for about $75 million annually in the Adirondack Park alone.

The proposal would make all state land tax exempt, resulting in Albany controlling how much it would pay local authorities for the parcels.

While comparatively small in number, our local governments and school districts disproportionately depend on these revenues to provide services, which are already anemic under the state-mandated tax cap.

A swap would disproportionately impact central Adirondack communities with vast tracts of state land, including Newcomb, Minerva, Long Lake, Wells and Arietta in Hamilton County.

The state Division of the Budget claims local governments will be no worse off under the proposal. In fact, they may even do better, considering the state will be locked into making payments at the maximum allowable under the cap.

“Local governments will have certainty that the state’s payments will grow each year,” a spokesman assured The Sun. But local government officials are livid,

After eliminating the deputy town clerk position, they propose and pass a resolution for an unpaid position for Mrs. Eddy to only answer the phone for the clerk.

arguing the measure will reduce local autonomy and their ability to engage in long-term planning.

Green groups have joined them in outrage, expressing concern that such a policy will likely erode the shaky alliance forged between the two sides during the past decade that has seen them finding more common ground than not, helping move the needle forward on unifying projects like clean water infrastructure, downtown revitalization and small business development.

The state continues to defend the proposal despite coming under withering scorn.

Count us in as skeptics, and we join the newly-minted Forever Taxable Coalition in opposing this proposal ahead of the March 31 state budget deadline.

Here’s why: While stakeholders may quibble over the exact financial details, it’s just too soon to issue a concrete verdict without more analysis.

We’d like to zoom out and take a more long-term approach: We support policies that liberate our communities from Albany — not shackle us to its misguided whims.

This erosion of local control, which has been under attack for decades, only seems to be escalating.

In addition to this ill-advised maneuver, Gov. Andrew Cuomo also wants to make his shared services panels permanent, which to us, is a colossal waste of resources considering the North Country has been doing

“I can tell you, folks, I carried a gun all my life. I hunted, I shot.

My friends and I — it’s hunting season back home. When I was in high school, every one of those rigs in the high school parking lot had a gun in the gun rack.

Why? We went hunting on the way home. None of those guns ever walked into school, none of those guns ever shot anybody.”

He continued: “What’s the difference? Did the gun change or did you, as a society, change?

I’ll give odds it was you as a society. Because you started to glorify cultures of violence. You glorified the gang culture, you glorified games that actually give you points for raping and killing people. The gun didn’t change. We changed!”

He hit the nail on the head. We make all kinds of excuses for rap songs that glorify rape and killing.

The state Division of the Budget argues the proposal will create administrative efficiencies, relieving the Office of Real Property Tax Services of the need to review assessments.

But isn’t that a self-inflicted wound caused by keeping spending at state agencies flat?

Why should we suffer?

Furthermore, the state faces a budget shortfall and an uncertain long-term prospects considering ongoing uncertainty at the federal level.

What’s to stop the executive office from tweaking these payments in the future to address further deficits?

Or what about future administrations?

Local government officials should be focused on local leadership — not currying favor with the governor’s office, whether it be the present administration or a future one.

This ongoing trend towards centralization from Albany has us concerned, and further ties into a larger trend of a loss of local autonomy paired with an over reliance on the state to give us massive subsidies to keep us quiet and content.

This proposal is simply a bait and switch, and should be permanently consigned to Albany’s scrapheap of terrible ideas.

Actors talk about killing the president and what does the media do? Nothing, when they should condemn anyone who advocates violence.

More importantly, to imply that mental health services and programs are a solution to these continuing tragedies in a diversion tactic used to distract us from viable solutions!

As a recently retired licensed mental health professional, after decades of practice I’m wondering how mental health is to intervene in these horrific shootings.

We are not known for keen accuracy in predicting who is about to commit a crime.

And, even if we were, what laws would enable us to disable and disarm each potential suspect to prevent these atrocities? And what kind of world would be live in if we could be arrested because someone thinks we might commit a crime?

It is also likely that the vast majority of potential killers are not seeking mental health treatment. They are seeking guns — especially automatic assault rifles!

Spotlight on mental health won’t stop gun massacres To the Editor: I am still reeling from events of the last few days!

Local cadet returns to help spread robotics Ti grad Brody Rocque part of CFES STEM Week program

By Keith Lobdell

Rocque said he enjoys spending his time volunteering through the academy to help reach out to others about West Point and its programs.

“I have done this for the past two years,” he said “We will come in and set everything up and have different schools come

in to teach STEM and the type of thinking that the program provides. It is critical thinking based and provides students with a little different exposure from typical learning.” ■

Lindsay Haner of Au Sable Forks Elementary and Kendal Decker of Elizabethtown-Lewis put the final touches on their robot made during the STEM robotics program at CFES Feb. 16.

ESSEX | As students calculated and programmed information into their robotic vehicles, a familiar face was there to help them on their way.

Brody Rocque, a Ticonderoga High School graduate and current Third Class Cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point, returned to the North Country as part of a STEM outreach program through the Army aimed at students through the CFES Brilliant Pathways program.

“If we can get a foundation in STEM started, the North Country can benefit greatly from it,” said Rocque. “I like the way STEM classes teach you how to think and walk through the solution through trail and error. The ultimate goal is to improve the exposure to STEM learning to these students and if we can inspire one person to come into STEM, then we have done our job.”

Olympic Notes

Winter Olympics XXIII come to a close “Homage to the past, and an act of faith in the future.”

The flame ablaze in the Olympic cauldron was extinguished last Sunday, closing the Winter XXIII Olympic games.

It went out as athBy Kim Dedam • COLUMNIST • letes representing 92 teams in 15 sports closed weeks of competition in 102 events, including newly added big air snowboarding and mixed doubles curling.

Six countries sent first-time teams to winter Olympic games: Ecuador, Eritrea, Kosovo, Malaysia, Nigeria and Singapore.

Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, praised the athletes for their spirit and faith in a peaceful future and all nations for honoring the Olympic Truce.

It was a poignant speech, delivered as Pyeongchang handed the Olympic flag to the Olympic committee in Beijing, China, home of the XXIV games in 2022.

“Over the past 17 days, we have experienced Olympic Games rooted in tradition and showing the way to the future,” Bach said.

“They have proved true the words of our founder, Pierre de Coubertin, when he said the Olympic Games are a homage to the past and an act of faith in the future.

“A true homage to the past was the respect of the Olympic Truce, just as it was three thousand years ago in ancient Olympia,” Bach said.

“Dear athletes from the (National Olympic Committees) of the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, with your joint march, you have shared your faith in a peaceful future with all of us. You have shown how sport brings people together in our fragile world; you have shown

how sport builds bridges,” Bach said.

“The IOC will continue this Olympic dialogue, even after we extinguish the Olympic flame.”

Addressing the athletes, the IOC president said: “You are the best ambassadors of our optimism. Thank you for sharing it with us. Thank you for your competitive spirit. Thank you for your fair play.”

Bach also thanked Winter Games XXIII organizers and leaders in South Korea from the bottom of his heart.

Team USA athletes selected crosscountry skier Jessie Diggins, who lives in Stratton, Vermont, to bear the United States flag for the closing ceremonies.

Diggins won a gold medal in Pyeongchang, a first for American women.

Her teammate Kikkan Randall took silver.

“In my wildest dreams, I don’t think I could have imagined all of this,” Diggins said in a statement from TeamUSA. “It’s really been a dream come true.”

According to the Associated Press, organizers and volunteers in Pyeongchang made ready for the next games.

It’s not quite finished yet, the AP said in a news report Monday.

“The Paralympic Games, held immediately after the Olympics using the same facilities, will be staged from March 9 to 18.

But farewells were also poignant.

“Seven years after a successful Olympic bid that changed its people and its landscape forever, Pyeongchang exhaled.’Farewell! Bye bye! Gamsahamnida!’ volunteers using the Korean word for “thank you” shouted to departing buses in Gangneung, the coastal city near Pyeongchang where many events were held.

“Workers yanked down paper signs by the hundreds and busloads of Olympians, journalists and support workers rolled toward train stations and highways Monday in the aftermath of a Winter Games that was as political as it was athletic.” ■

Help needed with feral cats

To the Editor: So apparently the 800-number that was put in the paper

Conservation Conversations

State needs to take lead in curbing sand runoff The warm sun beat down on my arm as it hung out the window.

It was Feb. 21 and the temperature was

By Richard Redman over 60 degrees.

• COLUMNIST • I was on the road, my hand out the window catching the air. It was like a summer day.

Fly fishing is calling, too early I realize, but I had to see the river. It’s in me and has to come out.

Lindsey Vonn took bronze last night.

I think about that as I see the skiers on Whiteface, downhill skiing, upslope from the Ausable River where I fish. They take the lift up, so they can slide back down the trails. I understand. We fish our way upstream and walk the trails back down.

Entering the Whiteface parking area, I spotted something that twisted my conservation karma: sandy runoff, loads of it, carried by melting snow coming off of the roads and parking lots into the river.

Grabbing my camera, I had to capture the gritty moment of truth. There were brown rivulets of sand, running off into the river, with no controls of any sort.

I stared at the runoff thinking: I worked my whole career trying to keep waters clean for drinking, swimming and trout fisheries.

Farmers have voluntarily spent thousands of dollars to reduce runoff from fields and barnyards. They have installed dirty water controls and entrapment areas to capture sediment, plus they installed clean water controls to keep the clean water clean.

Cows have been fenced out of rivers, and trees planted for buffers to cleanse runoff and shade the river to support aquatics.

I personally know many local farmers who have stretched their budgets due to environmental concerns and regulatory laws. Farmers are trying!

So how is it that the owners of the Whiteface Ski facility, the state of New York and

for animal abuse/neglect does not pertain to cats.

I don’t understand this. Are cats not worthy of being helped or saved from abuse or neglect?

People wonder why there are so many feral cats everywhere.

It’s because nobody cares, nobody does anything about it.

There are no consequences whatsoever when someone abandons a cat and this is exactly why people continue to do it.

When is enough enough? When is the law going to do something to help the cats who are abused, neglected or abandoned?

I recently contacted the sheriff’s department regarding

the Olympic Regional Development Authority, are getting away with letting road sand run off into a renowned trout fishery?

Common sense says they can’t and shouldn’t! As one of those “trout hugging” river guys, I must speak out!

Sediment or sand fill in the interstitial spaces in redds where eggs may hatch.

Reduced oxygenated water flows through the gravel damage growing embryos.

Secondly, the sediments in high concentrations can smother the embryos killing them and lastly, there is the possibility of entrapment of emerging fry if an armor of consolidated sediment is deposited on the surface of the redd. Basic stream Ecology 101 taught by T. Waters, Leopold, Willers, A. S. Hazzard and R. Behnke.

Over the bank ran the grit and garbage into the swollen river. While skiers edged their way down the slopes, sand flushed down the drains on the bridge, into the trout waters below.

It’s time the “new” New York state leadership takes as much interest in the fishery as they do the hiking, skiing and winter sports industry.

Trout fishing in New York is very important. Sportsmen and women’s hunting and fishing licenses bring in millions of dollars, and local fishing economies benefit.

Having Olympic facilities that encourage tourists is great. The North Country needs tourist dollars, but you don’t forsake the fishery just to keep skiers happy and the dough rolling in: use their dough to fix the problems they caused — not ours.

Many in the trout congregation would love to see a wild fishery, but habitat improvement is needed first, and reducing the sediment from the ski area is one step up a steep slope.

New York state should be setting an example and lead from the front.

Walmart in Ticonderoga has sediment basins to capture runoff, and so should Whiteface to protect the Ausable River. So “sense when” is the state allowed to let this happen? ■

some cats left by their owners who were evicted in Willsboro. It has been one month and I am still going up everyday to feed and water these poor cats.

They try to say they are feral. Well, they are skiddish and scared of people because they never had proper care or love.

They were lucky to be fed. They would come around with care and compassion, but someone needs to do something.

If nobody steps in, these six cats will end up 30.

Then what?

Dems stick together — mostly — as primary race enters new phase Dylan Ratigan, possible third-party ballot line shakes up languid primary

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The Democratic primary for New York’s 21st Congressional District entered a new phase last week with a series of fast-moving developments that have upended what has otherwise been a static contest.

The entry of Dylan Ratigan, a former MSNBC host and entrepreneur, into the crowded field last Wednesday shook up the race and led to two candidates dropping out within 48 hours.

And Katie Wilson on Thursday announced she has tentatively secured the Working Families Party endorsement.

“I’ve earned the endorsement of the Working Families Party, and that means I’m on the ballot,” Wilson told attendees at a candidate’s forum in Johnstown last Thursday.

“Local leaders of the WFP voted to endorse Ms. Wilson,” a spokesman, Dom Leon-Davis, told The Sun on Monday. “The final decision will be made later this week.”

Wilson said she doesn’t plan on being a spoiler in the effort to unseat Rep. Elise Stefanik (RWillsboro) this November and still intends on clinching the Democratic nomination.

“I do promise you that being on the ballot twice makes this race a hell of a lot more winnable in the general election,” Wilson told The Sun. But Wilson is also the only Democratic candidate who has refused to take a pledge

to support the party’s eventual nominee.

“I’m not taking that pledge,” Wilson said. “I’m going to support someone who I think can win.”

Wilson must still circulate petitions for both parties ahead of the April 12 filing deadline.

The Democratic primary is June 26.

The developments injected a new sense of urgency into what’s been a otherwise languid and uneventful race to unseat Stefanik, who is seeking a third term.

PLEDGE TO SUPPORT

The rest of the pack is sticking together.

Eight candidates are running for the Democratic nomination, and all but Wilson have pledged their support to the eventual nominee and promised they will not wage a third-party campaign.

Candidates took the pledge at a forum last month in South Glens Falls.

And those who have entered the race since then have also signed on, including Ratigan and David Mastrianni, a Saratoga-based oncologist.

“I suspect I will be of most use to them in the issue of healthcare, and it will be my privilege to help them get all of our neighbors coverage,” Mastrianni told The Sun.

CORPORATE PAC PLEDGE

Each candidate offered varying degrees of support to the eventual nominee, from donating what remains of their finances to redeploying their volunteers.

“The way I will do it will be to ask all of the people who support me to support them,” said Tedra Cobb at a forum in Plattsburgh earlier this month. “I have over 500 volunteers now, an army of people who are committed to working hard for me, and those people, I believe, will be committed to working for whomever it is that wins the primary.”

The pact joins a parallel attempt by one candi-

date to urge his colleagues to not to accept donations from corporate political action committees.

Patrick Nelson, a Stillwater-based activist, has made removing the corrosive influence of money in politics a central campaign theme, and has vowed not to accept funds from corporate PACs. Nelson asked fellow candidates to take the pledge at the forum in January. Since then, Wilson, Ronald Kim and Don Boyajian have accepted.

Nelson, who served as a delegate for Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2016, has issued stern warnings to his fellow Democrats against accepting funds for corporate interests, and has insinuated voters should not support candidates who do so.

“If they take corporate money, I don’t think you can support them,” Nelson told attendees at the Plattsburgh forum earlier this month.

But he’s since walked that statement back, and said he will support the eventual nominee — even if they decline to take his clean money vow.

“Yes, I will support them in the general election,” Nelson told The Sun in Johnstown.

“But I think that they’re going into something that’s going to make them harder to win if they’re taking that money, and it’s going to make them less effective as a leader.”

He added: “A corporate Democrat is better than a corporate Republican. But a real Democrat is better than a corporate Democrat.”

Nelson said if he falls short in clinching the nomination, he will hold the eventual nominee accountable throughout the election process and their term in office.

“But I intend to be that nominee,” he said.

Nelson noted at the forum in Plattsburgh that the Green Party had been lobbying him to leave the Democrats and run on their line.

But he flatly ruled that out, citing his role as an elected Democratic Committee member

in Saratoga County, petitioning for Democrats, donating funds and otherwise helping candidates get elected.

“I am a member and leader of the Democratic Party,” Nelson said. “I’m not going to be running on another line. This is my party, and I am seeking their nomination. When we were the party of the New Deal under Franklin Roosevelt, we won a lot of elections — so I’m trying to get us back to victory.”

Nelson did, however, call for rank choice voting. Also known as “instant runoff,” the system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, a measure advocates argue helps voters better select a candidate that represents the majority of voters.

“They haven’t been given that at this point because the system is rigged against them,” Nelson said in South Glens Falls.

THIRD PARTY UNWISE

Joining Nelson, Wilson, Ratigan, Kim, Boyajian, Cobb and Mastrianni in vying for the nomination is Emily Martz, who admitted at the Plattsburgh forum that a potential Green Party candidate posed a real threat to Democrats, and she would try to neutralize that by continuing to reach out to all voters.

Greens ran a candidate in 2014 and 2016, but two-time nominee Matt Funiciello has said he will not run this cycle, and the party has not selected a candidate.

Clinton County Democratic Chairman Sara Rowden said she wasn’t aware of Wilson’s Working Families Party announcement, and wasn’t speaking in reference to any candidate in particular.

“We’ve seen the third party issue on the race in the past when the Green Party had a candidate, and it seriously impacted their ability to be elected,” Rowden told The Sun on Monday.

» Primary race Cont. from pg. 6 Funiciello, for his part, has criticized the spoiler argument as erroneous in the past, arguing that all candidates are spoilers of each other.

The Working Families Party line doesn’t necessarily equate to a third-party candidacy.

If a candidate wins their endorsement, and also becomes the Democratic nominee, they would be on the ballot twice.

“There is a really interesting maneuver that can be done we’ve been referring to as the double bump,” Wilson said.

But falling short could pose a problem.

“I don’t think that’s wise,” Rowden said.

“That will create a problem for getting a Democrat elected into this spot, and I don’t think having the Working Families Party line would allow them to win.”

RATIGAN FACTOR

Ratigan’s entry to the race last week has led to two candidates ending their campaigns.

Sara Idleman, a Washington County lawmaker, dropped out and pledged her support to Cobb, citing Ratigan’s controversial track record, including his admission he’s never voted.

Tanya Boone, a former union organizer and businesswoman, told The Sun she plans on meeting candidates this week before

making an endorsement.

Democratic officials have said they’re pleased at such a large field, and have declined to endorse a candidate, including the chairs in Clinton, Essex and Warren counties.

“The county Democratic committee has been consistent from the beginning,” Rowden said. “They were clear they wanted the primary process to run its course and would not endorse one candidate.”

But she admitted Ratigan’s entry has acted as somewhat of a game changer, and has forced his opponents to acknowledge some hard realities.

“This is big time stuff,” she said.

Rowden estimated about 5 and 6 Democratic candidates would ultimately make the ballot.

Warren County Democratic Chair Lynne Boucher indicated the race remains wide open.

“It’s obviously a fluid race throughout the country,” Boucher told The Sun in an interview on Monday.

Boucher also acknowledged Ratigan has shaped the dynamics of the race.

“Obviously he’s brought a media presence,” she said. “I think his entrance to the race garnered media attention, and I think media attention to the 21st is important.”

All eight candidates, if they garner enough signatures in the petition process, have a

Photo by Pete DeMola place on the ballot, she said.

“I support democracy and I will support the nominee,” she said.

Boucher said she was optimistic Democrats would take back the seat in November.

“There’s a significant amount of groundswell to replace Elise Stefanik,” Boucher said.

The race was somewhat static two weeks ago, with various candidates touting themselves as frontrunners based on straw polls (Nelson, Cobb) as well as their fundraising prowess, including Boyajian, who has been

the top fundraiser in two consecutive quarters.

“Now there’s a real heavyweight in the race,” said a person familiar with Democratic thinking in the district. “He has challenges and more baggage people realize, but it doesn’t wash away that he’s a national figure.”

Republicans said they were thrilled at Ratigan’s entry.

“The Democrats’ field in #NY21 is a liberal clown car with @DylanRatigan at the wheel,” wrote National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Chris Martin on Twitter. ■

County ups pay for bus drivers Essex County increases wages, but asks state to ease training restrictions

ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex County Board of Supervisors went ahead with a proposed resolution to increase the rate of pay for their bus drivers, but not without discussing their concerns over a lack of drivers.

“We have had a number of those who have gone down to take the test and have not been able to pass it,” said Manager Dan Palmer on Monday. “I think the state has a disconnect between what it takes to drive a bus and a full CDL license.”

“This is a statewide issue, not just Essex County,” Lewis Supervisor Jim Monty said. “I think this is one way to help, but I think the state also needs to back off some of the restrictions.”

Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally said regulations were most likely not going to change.

“You see an issue with a bus driving incident every week,” McNally said. “You are not going to be able to lighten the restrictions.”

“I think it is a big responsibility driving the bus, whether its one person or 10 people,” Schroon Supervisor Mike Marnell said. “I think if anything, the rules will become more strict.”

Marnell also said he felt instead of raising the drivers one pay grade from level 5 to level 6, they should increase the drivers to a level 7.

“I stand by my recommendation that this stays at a grade 6,” Palmer replied. “These are some of the best funded programs in the state. If you are going to fund them, you have to have drivers. If you are unable to get drivers because they are not passing the tests, then it becomes incumbent on the state to take a look at and see why so many

By Kathy Wilcox We are seeking • COLUMNIST • cat lovers who would enjoy spending time with out furry friends and have availability on Monday mornings. You might be just who we are looking for!

Please help us spread the word about this important position and share with your friends and family.

For more information, please email volunteer@ncspca.org.

Our featured pet this week is BUFF, a Staffordshire Terrier-mix who is an absolute love bug.

Our shelter staff saved him from possible death due to severe medical needs and a terrible living situation — and we are so glad we did!

Buff had a difficult life before he came to us; he arrived with a serious case of heartworms. He has since been treated and is now 100 percent worm free.

Buff has lived with other dogs (with the proper introduction) but shows a bit too much attention to cats.

Buff has a terrific personality and he’s an all-around great dog, but he really needs a dog-savvy, breedorientated person to take him home.

He can be a bit of a bossy guy at times. His foster mom says this big handsome boy is truly worth the effort; in the end you will never find a more loyal and loving companion.

Please stop by and meet Buff, aka Buddy Love, Buddy Boy or just Bud! ■

Palmer said many drivers are being asked to make precise sweeps on their buses, including going under the bus, which are not needed.

“To require them to get under the bus and determine if they are mechanically sound to be on the road is too much,” Palmer said. “That is why we have bus mechanics, I think the disconnect comes with something like this.”

The busing program is an strong program in Essex County, which includes the bus program in Lake Placid, he said.

“I think one of the big parts as to why Lake Placid has been successful in landing some of these events is because of transportation, but to have transportation, you have to have drivers,” he said. ■

Women’s collegiate hockey coming to the Adirondacks

Paul Smith’s to form new athletic program

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

PAUL SMITH’S | For the first time, Paul Smith’s College will be offering a women’s hockey program in the heart of the Adirondacks.

The Paul Smith’s program will take to the ice next season, joining the school’s men’s hockey club program.

The school also announced both the men’s and women’s programs will be under the direction of Andrea KilbourneHill of Saranac Lake, as the former Olympic Silver medalist will step into the role of director of hockey.

“I’m excited to help bring women’s hockey to Paul Smith’s College,” Kilbourne-Hill said. “I see the addition of a women’s hockey team at Paul Smith’s as a win-win. It’s a win for Paul Smith’s College and adding a women’s hockey team will bring driven and motivated female students onto this beautiful campus.”

“I am quite excited to work with John Morgan and Andrea Kilbourne and Emilee Hazelden to begin the process of bringing women’s hockey to Paul Smith’s College,” said athletic director James Tucker. “Thousands of kids come to Lake Placid through Can-Am and take part in hockey tournaments while growing up, and with some prompting and providing information to these young hockey players,

The new Paul Smith’s women’s hockey team logo.

we are hopeful that some of these young girls will find the area attractive, appreciate the legacy of the hockey played in this region and have a desire to consider playing hockey in the Adirondacks while getting their college education.”

Paul Smith’s President Cathy S. Dove called the arrival “a double banner day” for the college.

“Adding a new sport to our campus, led by someone with Andrea’s resume, is going to be exciting for the North Country, and will certainly be noticed in the women’s college hockey world,” she said.

The team will take to the ice next fall and will play their home games at the Saranac Lake Civic Center.

CONTINUING EDUCATION AND OPTIONS

Tucker said Paul Smith’s is placed in a region where hockey is very popular, and also benefits from its proximity to Canada, where the sport is viewed as the national pastime.

“There are plenty of young women who want to continue playing, and want to improve their skills while going to

college and getting their college education,” Tucker said.

“We are hopeful that having Andrea Kilbourne-Hill and her connections in the world of women’s ice hockey, as well as the recruiting efforts of Emilee Hazelden, this tandem can lay the foundation to establish the hockey program.”

Tucker added the school is hopeful the new program will help add to the diversity at the school.

“We see the potential for the addition of women’s ice hockey to increase the diversity among the student body,” he said. “I have seen considerable growth and balance in the relatively new fish and wildlife sciences as well as environmental science programs, but these are still maybe 60 percent men.

“We have an extremely limited international student population, so assuming Andrea and Emilee bring in any international students to the program, this is more than a double win,” Tucker added. “We see hockey as a way to generate interest in our general student body in attending games in Saranac Lake to support the women’s team as we get the program up and running.”

For more information on Paul Smith’s College and to find out further information on the women’s hockey program as they get closer to their first games next fall, visit the web site paulsmiths.edu. ■ PICTURED ON COVER: Andrea Kilbourne-Hill, former member of the United States women’s hockey team and Silver medalist, has been named the Director of Hockey at Paul Smith’s college, overseeing the men’s program as well as the newly formed women’s squad.

DPW poised to save on water costs with new meter

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex County Board of Supervisors has reached a deal with one of their own that will save taxpayers almost $22,000 when it comes to providing water to the Public Safety Building.

In a deal struck with the town of Lewis and Supervisor Jim Monty, the county will

install an outside water meter at the building in Lewis and be charged at a rate of $250 per every $100,000 gallons used.

“Based on the water we used at the building last year, I see $21,750 in savings by Jim allowing us to do this,” said Jim Dougan of the DPW. Essex County Manager Dan Palmer said he was pleased Monty and the town board worked with the county to resolve the matter.

“He is the first supervisor to say he would work with us on this matter and we have

come to a good resolution,” Palmer said. “ “The taxpayers of Lewis are also taxpayers of Essex County, so this is a solution that benefits all,” said Monty.

Originally, Palmer said the county got together with the town and worked out a deal based on an estimate for usage by the building.

“When we first agreed to this, we agreed it would be an estimated usage which would be billed out over a six month basis,” Palmer said.

“The issue then became are we really being billed

for what we are actually using, or could the estimates be higher based on different reasons.”

Palmer added paying the bill semi-annually led to higher usage fees, as well.

“When you are billed even six months, your usage rate can go higher because you simply use more water over six months then over three,” Palmer said. We went to Jim and the board and asked if we could go to quarterly billing and they agreed as long as we put the meters in.” ■

Local athletes set for Junior Nationals

Members of the New York Ski Education Foundation will be headed to Utah next month to compete in the 2018 Junior Nationals.

Nordic ski events to be held in Utah this March

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

LAKE PLACID | A select group of athletes will be making their way to the Everlasting Mountains of Utah next month to compete in the Junior National Championships.

A number of local athletes, members of the New York Ski Eduction Foundation (NYSEF) will compete at Soldier Hollow in Heber, Utah, March 6-10.

“I want to finish top 10 at junior nationals,” said James Flanigan, 16, of Lake Placid.

“Shane McDowell is a great coach and I love to go on trips and travel across the east and the US. I am looking forward to these races.”

“My goals are to do the best I can and have fun,” said Marli Damp, 14, of Lake Placid. “I also would like to be in the top 10 for first year under 16s and in the top 25 overall under 16s. I’m looking forward to traveling and skiing in an amazing place!

I’m very excited for the sprint races.”

Damp said she was appreciative of the coaching staff.

“I love how amazing our coaching staff is, the care about us as people and not just athletes,” Damp said. “I also love the wave

of pride I get every time I wear a uniform.

In addition, I love how they customize the training program for every athlete.”

Kai Frantz, 15, also of Lake Placid, is not only hoping for a top 10 at Junior Nationals but also hopes to make the podium at the NYSPHSAA Nordic championships.

“My favorite event is by far skate sprints because it’s so fun and interesting,” Frantz said. “ I love having fun with my friends, becoming fast and race weekends with NYSEF.” Michael Skutt, 15, of Lake Placid said his goal for the season has already been accomplished.

“My goal was to make junior nationals and to do well there,” He said. “I’m looking forward to the 5k skate mass start there. My favorite things about skiing is the team and how much

they help and how fun it is. I love the racing and how many opportunities to race there are.

I like Coach Shane and Coach Nick a lot.”

Scott Schulz, 17, from Lake Placid, who has already seen some podiums this season along with international competition, is looking to keep the momentum rolling ”I would like to continue a strong season coming back from Finland in January hopefully racing in top 10’s for my age group,” he said. “At Junior Nationals, I am looking forward to the competition among friends and a great week of racing.”

Colton Martin, who skis with NYSEF out of Erie, Pa., said he has enjoyed skiing in the program and hopes for a top 30 finish in Utah.

“I am looking forward to going out West and skiing somewhere different,” he said.

“What I like most about skiing with NYSEF is being with my teammates, skiing at Mt. VanHo everyday and the coaches.”

“The unique and great thing about competitive cross country ski racing is athletes of all ages are able to train and race across the world instead of staying in a ‘district’ or in the state,” NYSEF’s Danielle LaCavalla said. “The athletes are heading to Dartmouth, N.H., to race. It is not uncommon for athletes to train in Chile or New Zealand in the offseason or go across the world. It’s an opportunity many of their peers do not have.”

Other athletes competing in Junior Nationals include Sylvie Linck (Saranac Lake), Jackie Garso (Lake Clear), Nicholas Kelting (Paul Smiths), Van Ledger (Lake Placid), Adrian Hayden (Saranac Lake), Karl Schulz (Lake Pacid), Lauchie Chenet-Seymour (Saranac Lake), Joseph Wilson (Keene), Jacob Alberga (Saranac Lake), Bryce Hartman (Saranac Lake) and Henry McGrew (Lake Placid). ■

Lapier fall in wrestling finals CONSOLATION CHAMP

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

ALBANY | Five Section VII wrestlers placed at the NYSPHSAA state tournament Saturday, Feb. 24, with two wrestlers reaching the final match and one scoring five straight wins to be the only Section VII wrestler to finish his season with hand raised.

THE FINALISTS

Jake Nolan of Saranac (16) and Chance Lapier of AuSable Valley (182) both wrestled their way through the main bracket to reach the championship finals. Nolan scored an escape point early in the second period to take a 1-0 lead against Bryce Rowe of Section VI, and held that lead until the 20 second mark of the third, when Rowe was able to complete a reverse move on Nolan and score a 2-1 win.

For Lapier, it was a single-leg takedown that gave opponent Connor Fredericks a 2-0 early lead. Lapier later earned an escape point in the first and both wrestlers earned escape points in the next two periods, respectively, but Lapier was unable to get close enough to Fredericks late, falling, 3-2.

“I am so proud of my time as a wrestler here and I want to thank my coaches, family and everyone who has helped me along the way,” senior Lapier said. “I think I could have been more aggressive, but I’ll go back to the gym on Monday and there is no way my story is done.”

“We knew Fredericks always had tight matches,” coach Kenny Baker said. “We had a gameplan, but it did not work out like we wanted it to. Chance has been a great wrestler here and has been a true leader for this team and is also well-respected in the section.”

Nolan, a junior, shared Lapier’s thoughts.

“I was planning on taking a couple weeks of but I think I’ll be in the wrestling room Monday,” he said. “I think I could have been more aggressive earlier, but he is a great wrestler and did what he had to do.”

“I know this is not the result we wanted, but I think this will give us something to work toward,” coach Heith Smith said.

For Peru junior Logan Dubuque, the tournament did not start the way he had planned out, dropping a 4-1 decision to Brad Cheek of Section V. “After the first match I was thinking that it was going to be a tough ride back,” Dubuque said. “My goal was to keep wrestling and going after it, but I knew it was going to be a tough one.”

The loss put Dubuque in the consolation bracket, needing three wins to secure an all-state, top six finish, four wins to place fifth and five wins to earn a third place finish. Not an easy task.

“It’s not something you see done every year,” said Peru cocoach Gary Edwards. “You have to have the mental ability to fight back in each match and that is what Logan did.”

Dubuque started his redemption run with a pair of pins, one 34 seconds into the second period and the next with 18 seconds left in the first, putting him in the consolation semifinals and a rematch with Cheek.

“It was after I pinned Shambo I really felt I was getting ready to go after it and get the consolation title,” Dubuque said. “It as really nice to come back and get as big a win as I did against Cheek. I knew I could beat him,” The changes worked, as Dubuque went from dropping a 4-1 decision to winning and 11-3 majority decision over Cheek, pushing him into the consolation finals.

In that match, Dubuque battled to a draw with Caleb Robinson of Section IV. In the overtime, Dubuque found his shot, dropping Robinson 37 seconds into the first overtime to claim third place.

“It feels good that I got my hand raised in my final match,” he said.

While reflecting on the weekend and looking ahead, Dubuque had an immediate plan for his offseason training.

“I am going to get some food, definitely have to do that,” Dubuque said. “I’m going to train to get to Fargo and this has me really focused as I get ready to enter into my senior year.”

PLACE FINISHERS

“I felt good after my first match but went into the next match against a two-time state champ, which didn’t turn out as well so I had to wrestle back,” Smith said. “The big thing I noticed is that speed is a big thing as well as being mentally tough.”

Peru’s Alijiah Seymour went 2-2 and was awarded sixth place in the Division II 113 bracket after federation schools were taken out of the bracket, Here is how the other Section VII wrestlers fared at the NYSPHSAA tournament: Swyer Bruce (99): 2-2; Robert Foley (160): 2-2; Alex Christman (132): 0-2; Kaeden Peryea (138): 2-2; Zach Swyers (145): 2-2; Johnny Devins (152): 2-2; Jaice Filon (170): 1-2; Mason Maulding (195): 1-2; Jaden Maldanado (220): 0-2; Dalton Criss (285): 2-2. ■

Winter Olympics wrap for local competitors

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

PYEONGCHANG, SOUTH KOREA | The 23rd Winter Olympiad has come to an end as local athletes wrapped up their time in the spotlight in several events.

BIATHLON

On Feb. 20, Tim Burke and Lowell Bailey

teamed up with the duo of Susan Dunklee and Joanne Firesteel Reid to place 15th in the mixed relay, three and one-half minutes behind champion France.

On Feb. 23, Bailey ran leg one and Burke leg four of the men’s relay, along with Sean Doherty and Leif Nordgren, as the quartet finished in sixth place behind champion Sweden.

BOBSLED

On Feb. 21, the duo of Jamie Greubel Poser and Aja Evans placed fifth in the women’s bobsled event, eight one-hundreds out of the bronze and two spots behind US teammates Elana Meyers Taylor and Lauren Gibbs.

Poser drove one of the USA sleds after watching her husband, a German brakeman, come into the finish line of the bobsled

track on his head after the sled wrecked, also finishing in fourth place.

Finally, the four-man bobsleigh completed the Winter Olympics Feb. 25, as Codie Bascue rallied back from a tough finish in the two-man event to help his team of Evan Weinstock, Steven Langton and Samuel McGuffie place ninth, the top USA team. ■

WILLSBORO | A long-shuttered grocery store in downtown Willsboro will see new life as part of a collaborative project between the town, the Nature Conservancy and a start-up makerspace project.

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) purchased the 11-acre parcel containing the building from a commercial real estate broker.

TNC will cleave off the parcel containing the former IGA and gift it to the Makers Guild Inc. for use as a community “makerspace,” or a place where people with shared interests can come together to work on projects while sharing equipment and other resources.

The nonprofit already has a presence in the community via the Boquet Nature Preserve, a tract that contains a series of trails winding behind the Champlain Valley Senior Community and Paine Memorial Library along the Boquet River.

The purchase will expand the nature preserve to 120 acres

Stakeholders have said the acquisitions will revitalize the town’s main travel corridor and enhance recreation while also protecting surrounding forestland from development.

The newly-minted MakeBoro Center for Arts + Innovation in Willsboro will be “rooted in arts and innovation with an emphasis on environmental stewardship,” according to the TNC. “It symbolizes the growing energy around the Adirondacks to capitalize on the beauty of our natural world while also tapping the creative spirit of its people,” said TNC Adirondack Chapter Director Peg Olsen in a statement.

To survey the community’s interests and raise awareness for the project, Makers Guild hosted two community workshops last summer and several “Fix-it Day” events at the hardware store across the street.

while securing a high visibility area off state Route 22.

“The acquisition will enable the TNC to establish a new trailhead and parking area and connect a path to the interior trail network, including Tim’s Trail, the second longest accessibility trail of its kind in the Adirondack Park,” according to a news release.

Opportunities abound for fishing, hiking, trail running and skiing, and portions of the trail network pass through a forest containing sycamores that are more than 200 years old.

KEENE | Deborah Ellen Creighton, of Keene, went to be with the Lord on Feb. 19, 2018 after a heroic four-year battle with cancer. During that four years, she lived life to the fullest, traveling, making improvements to her home, and volunteering with various organizations.

Her family calls her Ellen. She’s the baby of the family, always walking to the beat of her own drummer in a peaceful and elegant way that defined Ellen.

She was a lover of God’s creation and the beautiful Adirondacks captured her imagination and kept her there for more than 30 years.

Ellen received her bachelors’ degree from the University of Georgia and her master’s degree from Georgia State University. From there she went on to be a family counselor as well as an entrepreneur owning two different stores in Lake Placid over the years. Ellen was truly a trailblazer representing strong women who made things happen.

Ellen is survived by her three siblings, sisters Toney Creighton Pozek and Cassandra Creighton Clouser and brother Vernon F. Creighton, Jr. and her two nephews Adam Creighton Pozek and Matthew Roger Clouser.

She was predeceased by her father Vernon F Creighton, Sr., her mother Dorothy Toney Creighton and her niece Emily Marie Clouser.

A special heartfelt thank you to her dear friends who helped her remain in her home until she passed away.

Family and friends will be invited to a memorial of Ellen’s life at a future date.

The M. B. Clark, Inc. Funeral Home in Lake Placid is in charge of arrangements. Relatives and friends are invited to share a memory, upload a photograph, or leave condolences at mbclarkfuneralhome.com. ■

Makers Guild President Beverly Eichenlaub said the project presents an “amazing opportunity to cultivate collaboration and creativity in our rural community through arts, technology and innovation.”

The facility, Eichenlaub said, will feature artisan workshops outfitted with cutting-edge tools, educational opportunities, exhibits, events and a “Makers-In-Residence” program.

“We are excited by the depth of community interest, impressed with the town’s leadership and grateful for The Nature Conservancy’s generosity in support of this project,” said Eichenlaub in a statement.

Similar facilities exist in Westport, Au Sable Forks, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, among other locations, with prospective locations also being eyed in Keene and Keene Valley.

“There’s about 20 aspiring existing or envisioned spaces throughout the Adirondacks,” said Jake Vennie-Vollrath, regional advocacy coordinator with the Adirondack North Country Association.

Vennie-Vollrath said makerspaces help drive down the cost of shared equipment, like 3-D printers or sewing machines.

Over time, the incubators can generate new ideas and even small businesses utilizing brick and mortar storefronts.

“It’s really a starting point for new ideas in this new economy,” Vennie-Vollrath said.

And the potential for sharing knowledge and skills is ripe — particularly between generations, which is a prospect in Willsboro owing to the nearby senior community.

“There should be some very interesting cross pollination of skills happening there,” VennieVollrath said.

Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland ultimately envisions a facility not unlike the Hub on the Hill in nearby Essex.

Downtown access to the Boquet Nature Preserve paired with renovation of a blighted commercial building and parking lot is “a positive and optimistic step forward for our town,” he said.

“Great things happen when we all pull together for common good,” Gillilland said in a statement.

TNC anticipates the new parking area and trail segment to be completed by 2020, adding to recent investments in major trail upgrades completed by professional trail builders in the past three years.

The building requires significant repair work after being empty for about a decade, Eichenlaub said.

Work parties will commence once the weather starts to improve, and will be paired with fundraising efforts, including grant applications.

Makers Guild aims to be operable by the end of the year, serving not only Willsboro, but also artisans from as far away as Plattsburgh.

Eichenlaub called it “revolutionary” for a rural area.

“I think it’s really fantastic,” Eichenlaub said. ■
