Controversial tax reform proposal stripped from budget bills

LAKE PLACID STUDENTS EYE QUEBEC CITY CONNECTION

Students near end of three-year fundraising effort for French language summer camp

Fate of executive budget proposal will now be decided by governor

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

LAKE PLACID | A group of local students want to say au revoir to Lake Placid this summer.

But first they need your help.

Using everything from bake sales to fun runs to reach their $19,500 fundraising goal, 15 Lake Placid High School students — with help from French teacher Cara Atkinson — have been raising money for three years to help pay for an immersive language camp in Quebec City, Canada.

They’ve raised $4,676 so far, and students have ongoing fundraisers planned for the next few weeks to raise the rest toward a week-long program at Edu-Inter. » French students Cont. on pg. 5

Students at Lake Placid High School are raising money toward a French immersion experience in Quebec City, Canada.

ALBANY | A controversial executive budget proposal that would change how state-owned land is taxed in the Adirondack Park has been stripped from the state Assembly and Senate one-house budget bills released last week.

“This is a top priority for our region, something that everyone I have heard from adamantly opposes,” said state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury). “The push needs to continue through budget negotiations, but today’s formal rejection is an important step for us all.” » Tax reform Cont. on pg. 3

TUPPER LAKE | Access to local farm products, distribution and fair pricing are critical to maintaining Adirondack food supply lines.

These issues directly influence local wages, business growth, regional economics and the sustainable farming future in rural northern New York.

The fi rst Food Justice Summit held at the Wild Center earlier this month took a hard look at strengths and weaknesses of local food supply systems: » Food supply Cont. on pg. 2

» Food supply Cont. from pg. 1 How is food distributed?

What regulations impact distribution?

How do farmers earn a sustainable wage?

How are farm workers paid?

How could local foods reach everyone?

Who gets left out?

The goal to improve connections between institutions and farms, wages and markets, harvest and waste, farm supply and demand is a goal central to the Food Justice Working Group, a coalition of both non-profit and forprofit groups, educational groups and farmers.

The summit’s summary task mapped strategy for priority action to address prominent concerns.

FOOD JUSTICE

Founded among farmers and buyers last summer, Food Justice is more than a union of producers and educators.

The Essex Farm Institute, Craigardan in Keene and the Adirondack North Country Association are among the stakeholders in a coalition looking to expand area food systems beyond economic boundaries into larger institutions and across rural mountains in the park.

They are seeking ways to work greener, cleaner and with less waste.

“Distribution, farmer pay, wages for workers and food access are among issues we are taking on,” said Michele Drozd, founder of Craigardan, a local artisan and working farm institute tucked under Hurricane Mountain in Keene.

“Some of these problems are cropping up as our farm communities grow, as we become a more complex food system. We are looking at these problems head on,” she said.

Food Justice organized their first summit as winter began. By all accounts, the day-long ebb and flow of discussion drew immense interest.

FRESH FOOD SUPPLY

A group of high school students from Lake Placid Central School contributed their voices to the Food Justice discussion at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake.

They attended the Food Justice Summit as part of the Environmental Club program led by teacher Tammy Morgan.

“They are all working on their senior projects, looking at impacts of climate change on food supply,” Morgan said.

Morin Bissonette, a senior, picked her project goals from a farm field last fall.

“She gleaned over 150 pounds of tomatoes from North Branch Farm in Saranac,” Morgan said of Morin’s days spent harvesting drops and blemished produce.

Then she made tomato sauce with herbs from the school’s garden in the school’s kitchen and canned it for Lake Placid’s Backpack Program.

“I was surprised to find that 48 percent of my school population is food insecure,” Morin said of data that sparked her idea.

“For a lot of kids, having fresh or locally made food is not possible, and I wanted to help get good farm-fresh food to everyone.”

Produce grown locally and made fresh not only tastes better, she said, it supports the local economy and environment.

“Solving the problem involves finding ways to bring local farm products to everyone,” Morin said.

FINDING CHAMPIONS

In weighing local food production against distribution and cost, several patterns emerged.

Some barriers to local food access involve dropped connections.

Others involve misfit purchasing; some buys happen in small batches.

Adirondack Farm-to-School Initiative Director Ruth Pino spelled out challenges the group has encountered in the past six years as they’ve connected cafeteria planning to local growers, including finding key decision-makers in a school or college who can plug their buying demand into the local growing system.

That involves food processing time, bulk pricing and supply are mutable forces in the equation.

A breakout discussion group at the Food Justice seminar held at the Wild Center looked to improve connections between farmers, food security and college students, who are among the most food-insecure age groups in the U.S. Colleges with students attending Food Justice discussion included Hamilton College, Paul Smith’s College, Plattsburgh State, St. Lawrence University, University of Vermont and SUNY Potsdam.

Organizations and contributors started food justice mapping by marking their location on a big map of the Adirondack Park.

Photo by Kim Dedam Local provision is best addressed with a specific farm-to-school coordinator, she said.

Not all schools or organizations have one, she said.

But they all have someone who might be a good one.

“Find the champions,” Pino said.

“And we added a policy that no seconds are available until all first-choice foods are gone from the tray. That eventually creates very little waste.”

Striking that balance to peak interest in school meals can support the local farm economy while it improves nutrition, Pino explained.

There is a lot of food insecurity in rural Adirondack communities, she said, referring to access.

“And with that sometimes comes poor choices.”

Presenters suggest that eliminating food insecurity also builds resiliency in local food systems.

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

Julie Holbrook, food service director for Champlain Valley Educational Services, explained that another roadblock is time: schedules for lunchtimes, cooking time and time to sit and eat.

Prepackaged food is seen as a timesaver unless cafeteria schedules adapt.

It is rare for schools or food distribution centers to actually process raw foods, she said.

But the drive to use locally sourced food at Keene Central School became a recalibrated focus in the kitchen.

The surprising cost savings was reduced waste.

Waste, she and other speakers said, not only literally throws thousands of taxpayer dollars in the landfill every year, it also inflates cost for disposal.

Holbrook explained how Keene’s school shifted the balance: as children were given nutritious choices, the amount of wasted food dropped.

“We have a rainbow on our salad bar,” she said.

RESILIENCE

Ten small discussion groups focused throughout the Food Justice day on diverse topics: Farm-to-Prison programs; fighting chronic disease with a local diet; land access for farmers; the plight of migrant workers; ending racism in the food system; and farmworker pay structures.

In looking to improved resilience in Adirondack food systems, the Food Justice coalition ended their conference with a mapping exercise: connecting dots literally marked on a big map of the Adirondack Park.

Bonds formed as goals emerged.

Drozd doesn’t suggest solutions will come fast or all at once.

But fields are cleared, rows are hoed.

“This has been an incredible turnout,” Drozd said.

“The response is so positive.” ■

» Tax reform Cont. from pg. 1 Localities within the Adirondacks receive at least $70 million annually from New York state in property tax payments.

For towns with vast tracts of land holdings like Minerva, Long Lake, North Hudson and Newcomb, the state share constitutes a significant chunk of their annual budgets — including about $3 million for the latter.

The state Division of the Budget has proposed using paymentin-lieu-of-taxes agreements instead of market value to calculate taxes on land in the Adirondack Park and the Catskills.

Increases would be limited to 2 percent or the change in level of assessment, whichever is lower.

The swap would open up efficiencies and relieve regular assessments by local officials, said the state agency, and payments on the state-owned land would likely increase under the new system.

But local governments and green groups bitterly oppose the measure, citing concerns over reduced payments to their localities and school districts, a lack of comprehensive study and how the program might change under future administrations — all of which would lead to a larger tax burden for local taxpayers.

“This is a big victory for North Country communities,” said state Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury).

Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) also praised the proposal’s removal.

“The Assembly budget proposal is doing right by the North Country by rejecting this measure,” Jones said.

Environmental groups warned the simmering threat of diminished revenue may erode the shaky alliance they have forged with local governments over the past decade, allowing them to find common ground on issues like clean water infrastructure and economic development initiatives.

An executive budget proposal that would change how state-owned land is taxed in the Adirondack Park and Catskills has been stripped from both the state Assembly and Senate one-house budget bills. “This is a big victory for North Country communities,” said state Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury).

Photo provided “Our local governments and environmental groups are strongly united in their opposition and have done a tremendous job in Albany explaining why the proposed change would be so detrimental to our North Country economy,” Little said.

The Adirondack Council is buoyed by the news, but noted the proposal’s final fate ultimately lies in the hands of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

“Now we need the governor to agree and reject,” said Willie Janeway, executive director of the Adirondack Council. “Given his commitment to the Adirondacks, it seems like he should do that.”

The state budget deadline is March 31.

“Budget negotiations are ongoing,” said Morris Peters, a spokesman for the Division of the Budget. ■

Essex County seeks DEC help with boat launches Sites need repairs, upgrades

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex County Board of Supervisors is asking the regional office of the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for help in upgrading and maintaining several state-owned boat launches throughout the county.

“I have been working very hard with DEC to get them to increase their attention toward our boat launches on Lake Champlain,” Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland said last Monday.

The lack of maintenance is presenting numerous issues at sites across the region, including those in Crown Point, Westport,

Chesterfield, Ticonderoga and Willsboro.

“Westport can’t get boats up, ours are damaging trailers and boats because of the lack of maintenance on it,” Gillilland said. “I know Chesterfield has problems with the road approaching it. Ticonderoga needs maintenance on the road, outhouses and stuff. I know in Willsboro, they removed our outhouses, the garbage pickup and things like that. They just keep removing all these things.”

The boat launches are an important recreational and economic component of the county, lawmakers said.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said he was concerned the launches were no longer priorities for the DEC, and that amenities had been “stripped down to the bone.”

“They just don’t have the staffing that they once had,” Scozzafava said.

“I had a meeting with DEC on our boat launch facility and all we have there is tanks for

toilets and it is a very, very busy boat launch.”

Scozzafava cited a recent meeting in which the town hashed out a shared services agreement with the state agency.

“We agreed to and we are going to do a shared service agreement where the town, now that the village is dissolved, we’ll provide them with water and onsite municipal sewage and they’ve agreed to come in to replace the stations to retrofit that facility so that we’ll now have flush toilets and running water there,” Scozzafava said.

Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said the boat launch on Paradox Lake could also use improvements.

“There’s only one launch site on the lake.

Three years ago the state built a new road to the launch site but the launch is impossible,” Marnell said. “There’s no private launch sites and if you don’t own property there, you can’t enter the lake. Brand new road, but

the launch is in terrible shape.”

With a resolution from the board, Gillilland said he was hoping to keep this issue on the front burner for the DEC. “I’ve had two or three personal discussions with (DEC regional director) Bob Stegemann and I’ve written a letter and I’m just trying to back this up,” he said. “Stegemann did call me on Friday and responded to the letter saying he is working on doing that but I believe this is an area that’s been neglected and it’s causing economic impact to lake towns and we’re watching.”

Gillilland asked for a resolution appealing to the DEC Commissioner to place maintenance and upgrades of the boat launches on Lake Champlain and Essex County to the top of the priority.”

North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore said he would also bring the matter up before the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages. ■

State approves National Grid rate increase Utility rates for local customers to increase over next three years

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ALBANY | Local National Grid customers will see an 11 percent increase in their electricity and gas rates over the next three years.

The agreement announced Thursday by the state Public Service Commission (PSC) totals 10.5 percent for electricity and 11.5 percent for gas usage phased in over three years.

For the first year, that equates to about 3 percent per month.

Under the new rate plan, a typical residential customer will see a total monthly bill increase of $2.22 or 2.9 percent in the first year starting in April 2018, $3.03 or 3.8 percent in the second beginning in April 2019, and $3.25 or 3.9 percent in the third year starting in April 2020.

The gas bill for the typical residential customer using 77 therms a month will increase by 1.7, 4.5 and 4.4 percent during the same period, or $1.20, $3.10 and $3.18 respectively.

National Grid has agreed to a smaller rate increase than it was initially seeking: 13.9 percent per month for electricity bills, and gas by 14.9 percent.

The provider’s initial $407 million proposal was reduced by $351 million, or 86 percent.

“We are pleased to adopt a progressive rate plan that is much improved over what the company initially proposed,” said PSC Chair John B. Rhodes in a statement.

The plan has broad stakeholder support from environmental groups, labor, large business customers and the three largest cities in the company’s service territory, said Rhodes.

“This decision is a win for the company’s customers and for the future of cleaner and more resilient energy,” he said.

The deal will also lower monthly bills for

220,000 low-income electric and gas customers, and includes measures to provide energy efficiency upgrades for streetlights, strengthen gas safety efforts and replace 150 miles of leak-prone pipe.

National Grid will also modernize its electric transmission and distribution system, including investments to address the increased frequency and severity of storms.

“This plan allows us to invest $2.5 billion over the next three years in our energy infrastructure while reducing the short-term impact on bills and providing customers a level of delivery price assurance,” said Virginia Limmiatis, a spokesperson for National Grid.

When adjusted for inflation, gas prices have been static since 2007, said the provider, and electricity delivery prices are lower than they were in 2004. But during that same period, the provider has invested $6 billion in infrastructure upgrades.

National Grid held a public hearing in Lake Placid last summer to detail their proposal.

The effort was supported by Clarkson and Paul Smith’s College, both of whom said upgrades to the provider’s microgrids will aid in ongoing renewable energy projects.

National Grid serves approximately 3.2 million customers in 37 counties statewide, including portions of Franklin, Clinton, Essex and Hamilton counties.

Lake Placid and Tupper Lake will not be impacted because those localities have wholesale agreements with National Grid that see municipal utilities distribute the service to local customers.

AARP, who lobbied against the increase, said they were appreciative of the reduction, and praised regulators for incorporating low-income energy programs that have been a part of other recent utility rate cases into the decision.

But the organization continues to harbor concerns on the impacts of low-income residents.

“A double-digit rate increase is simply too much for the overburdened New York consumers who rely on National Grid for their energy,” said New York State Director Beth Finkel.

AARP is also disappointed regulators did not lower fixed customer charges, which the organization contends “hurt low-energy users while failing to encourage conservation.”

The group renewed calls for New York to join 40 other states by establishing an independent utility consumer advocate with the power to challenge unfair rate increases in court.

“We’re glad the state Assembly included creation of such a consumer advocate in its state budget proposal this week,” Finkel said.

Adirondack Community Action Programs CEO Alan Jones also said he is mindful of the increases on low-income populations who are on a fixed income, including senior citizens.

“Any client we serve will face an additional burden on their expenses,” Jones said.

“We have a rising number of senior citizens in our communities. It would impact them the worst.” ■

Essex County improves health ranking in statewide report “We have a lot to be proud of,” says county health chief

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Work to improve public health has paid off in Essex County.

But local residents still need to kick their smokes, booze and snacky cakes to the curb.

The release of the 2018 County Health Rankings & Roadmaps last week by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation places Essex County at No. 15 out of 62 counties for health outcomes, including length and quality of life.

Essex County scored No. 37 last year.

“We have a lot to be proud of in terms of health gains made over the last few years,” said Linda Beers, director of public health at the Essex County Health Department, in a statement.

The report, a collaborative project with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, utilizes several metrics to gauge community health, including obesity, access to healthy food and high school graduation rates.

Influencing these outcomes are factors like poverty, education, access to care and opportunities to be physically active, Beers said.

Twenty-seven percent of Essex County residents are obese, slightly over the state average of 25 percent.

The average was 20 percent in 2004 and reached a high of 28 percent in 2012 before sloping back downward.

“After seeing a fairly steady upward trend in the adult obesity rate, we are starting to bend that curve in the right direction,” Beers said. “I think this speaks to the work we’ve done in schools and communities to increase healthy food offerings and improve environments by creating or enhancing gardens, parks, playgrounds and trails.”

Essex County has also reduced preventable hospital stays, increased high school graduation rates, has fewer children living in poverty than the average county and can boast a high number of places to be active.

But there are several areas county health officials have flagged for improvement.

The county ranked in the middle of the pack when it comes to clinical care (No. 31) and social and economic factors, where it scored No. 28.

And sexually transmitted disease rates are trending upward, much like the rest of the state.

Essex County’s rate of chlamydia cases is 108.6 per 100,000 people. While that’s nearly five times lower than the state average of 524.7, the figure is still within the top 10th percentile of cases nationwide.

“We need to promote sexual health, education and screening for our young adults, as they are disproportionately impacted by STDs,” Beers said.

Essex County also ranks higher than the state and national average when it comes to alcohol-impaired driving deaths, with more than twice as many county residents dying by that cause than the national average.

Adult smoking rates are also slightly higher than the state and national averages despite an aggressive local

» French students Cont. from pg. 1 Edu-Inter, a Quebec City-based French school located about three hours northeast of Montreal, allows students to take language classes during the day and specialized classes in the afternoon, where kids can practice anything from cooking to acrobatics.

All the while, they’ll stay with local French-speaking families and communicate only in French.

“For me, as a teacher of French in the North Country, I feel that travel to Quebec with an immersion homestay is an integral component to my language curriculum,” Atkinson said. “Real-world experience in the language is essential in order for students to stay engaged, motivated, and gain first hand knowledge of the value of a second language.”

Students will also tour the riverfront city and sightsee, live life, amble down the stone streets and narrow walkways and experience Quebec as a local.

Not a bad way to spend a summer.

“They’re pretty excited about it,” Atkinson said.

THE FINISH LINE

Each student needs to raise an average of $1,300 to participate.

But they aren’t chipping away at that price alone.

With help from a $5,000 online fundraiser launched this month — and a number of other fundraisers upcoming, including a greeting card sale — the students are hoping to make a sprint toward the finish line together.

Students helped produce and release an advertisement on YouTube on Feb. 23 in an effort to inspire people to donate.

“Qu’est on veut? (What do we want?)” One student asks over an upbeat soundtrack in the video, footage panning over a classroom full of happy teens.

“On veut apprendre la langue d’Alaine Chartand (We want to learn Alaine Chartand’s language),” a young girl says as the

campaign to raise the purchase age of tobacco from 18 to 21.

“We are optimistic about adopting Tobacco 21 legislation, which would further limit youth access to tobacco products,” Beers said. “We want this next generation of young people to be the first generation that doesn’t suffer the health consequences of tobacco use.”

Beers is also mindful that Essex County must also continue to maintain access to care for the county’s most vulnerable populations, including senior citizens and low-income residents.

“The disparities that do exist here — our rural setting, an aging population and health care provider shortages — make it vitally important for the Essex County Health Department to be flexible and responsive to the communities we serve,” Beers said. “We value our partnerships with our local hospitals, health centers and community-based organizations that help us collectively advance the level of care our residents receive.”

Elsewhere in the region, Hamilton County moved up 30 spaces over last year to No. 29.

Saratoga County clocked in at No. 2, dropping one position from the top slot in 2017.

Warren County remains ranked at No. 10; Clinton fell five spots to No. 34; Washington saw a four point uptick to No. 27, and Franklin County also moved up four places to rank at No. 42.

Bronx was the least fit.

Service From the Editorial Board above self Winter sports delivers yet again Is it a phrase that just sounds good or is it a life we all try to live?

For many, it’s a code deeply rooted in who

By Dan Alexander they are and how they • PUBLISHER • conduct their lives. For others, it’s nothing more than a pickup line for creating an opportunity that allows them to take advantage of those who place their faith and trust in what is being promised.

Americans have always been incredibly generous with their time and money.

We do our best to recognize the right intentions in all we meet, but more and more, we see serious cracks in the overall moral structure that was at one time the hallmark of our national personality.

Stories come to light all too frequently these days. Over the weekend, we heard about four individuals in Indiana collecting funds for the Wounded Warrior Foundation — not the Project.

The Secret Service discovered their good intentions were nothing more than a scam to put over $125,000 at their disposal instead of sending the funds to wounded military personnel.

Last week, we reported on the dealings of a man in Ticonderoga whose ambition outweighed his good intentions when he sought investors and took advantage of employees who were sent out to do his bidding.

Sadly, there will always be those who see opportunity in the disguise of service.

Perhaps even sadder is the number of service clubs and organizations that once carpeted the nation made up of energetic local community members whose sole purpose was to support their community through good deeds.

Around the country and even here locally, their memberships are in decline — not because the need is no longer there, but because these upstanding men and women are growing old and passing away.

The next generations, especially in smaller communities, have not stepped up to fill the voids.

These devoted community clubs work tirelessly to raise funds by hosting events and projects only to return the funds to the community where the needs were the greatest.

There are so many good causes and valuable local organizations that need our support, not just in funding but in member volunteers to keep these pillars of service fully staffed and actively serving the needs of our communities.

These organizations defined what a community is all about, reminding us of the importance of giving back, but they’ll fade into history if we don’t take steps to reverse these trends soon. ■

As we get ready to shift gears out of winter and into spring — maybe — we can now look back at what has been a very successful winter sports season.

In our region, we can now boast three state championships.

First off the bat, the Lake Placid Blue Bombers boy’s Nordic ski team won their third straight NYSPHSAA championship at Gore Mountain in North Creek.

Three straight state titles is unprecedented in Section VII. The Chazy Eagles have won three state titles in four years twice, but no one has won three straight until the skiers of Lake Placid.

These are skiers who you may see again after high school on an Olympic ski trail near you.

The next state title came in perhaps the most unexpected of places: the bowling alley.

Along with a new bowling center in Syracuse hosting the state championship came a new state champion as the AuSable Valley boy’s team became the first male squad from Section VII to win a bowling state title.

The championship was also the first ever for the school, which recently has had chances to win in both boy’s and girl’s basketball.

Then comes Lake George. They just won

Executive budget proposal could harm rural health programs

To the Editor: Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s proposed budget again this year seeks to undermine important rural health initiatives which have prevented disease, enrolled residents in health insurance, trained health care professionals to serve in rural communities and leveraged millions of federal and foundation dollars that have been invested here in the North Country.

The governor again this year has put at risk the Rural Health Network (RHN) program.

Thankfully we now know that the state Assembly and Senate have rejected this year’s cuts in their budget bills, but unfortunately have left in place the 21 percent cut levied in the 2017-18 budget.

As one of New York state’s 35 rural health networks, the North Country Behavioral Healthcare Network (NCBHN) vigorously opposes the proposed cuts to the rural health network program which

The Warriors had to work hard to get the win, almost joining Panama from two years ago as giving up a 17-point lead, but Caleb Scrime’s layup in the last five seconds gave them a guaranteed win.

As we reference in the story, the top moment after the game was father and son, coach Dave and point guard Alex Jones, got a chance to embrace between the interviews that come with winning a state title.

It was not just a year for the victors, but those who had great seasons.

For the second straight year, Moriah sent both their boy’s and girl’s basketball teams to the final four, with the girl’s team falling and the boy’s team returning for the third straight year to the state title game, this time falling to Buffalo East.

To the Editor: As the city mulls a moratorium on bitcoin, so should government and the financial community.

If a person came to you and said, “Here is an equation, solve it with your gaming computer and I will give you a coin.”

You can’t see, touch or feel this coin, but you can store it in a virtual wallet and it’s worth money. Plus if you decide to solve the next equation, that’s just a little more difficult, you get another coin.

Eventually you can convert these coins or trade them, but not at a bank. They are tendered by an almost anonymous institution with the use of your wallet.

Over the past two years, the Sentinels have a combined record of 35-12, with all 12 of those losses coming against either Moriah (state champ and state finalist) or Lake George (state finalist and state champ) over those two years.

Stefanik delays on taking a stand on issues

To the Editor: My friend Jeff, a man of science, has a passion for guns.

He called me a “gun hater.”

That surprised me.

We had just agreed that “something has to change” and that we can not go on having our children shot at with assault rifles.

We wanted to talk with one another but were mired in arguments that we had never had, with words that other people put into our mouths.

I realized that my friend feels a sense of loss, as do the 90 percent of Americans that support gun change. People are arguing that “my loss is greater than yours, more justifiable than yours.”

Congress must renew funding for vital environmental programs Guest column

By Rep. Elise Stefanik and Ana Paula GUEST COLUMNISTS

Despite snow blanketing the North Country in March, spring is near and many of us here in New York are preparing for the return of migratory birds, such as Black Terns, Hooded Mergansers and Sanderlings, who visit us briefly at Lake Ontario during their long and treacherous migration north from their wintering grounds in warmer climates.

While our region won’t be their final destination, our wetlands — designated Important Bird Areas — are vital resting and mating grounds for migratory waterfowl and shorebirds, and breeding marsh birds.

As Dr. Thomas Lovejoy once noted, “If you take care of the birds, you take care of most of the big problems in the world.”

The same is true of the conservation challenges we face in our backyard.

Programs like the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), and the Lake Champlain Basin Program are important tools to protect the Great Lakes, Lake Champlain, and the surrounding water systems and natural habitat, so that human and natural communities can continue to thrive together.

The GLRI is an incredibly effective federal program that provides key funding to remedy the most pressing ecological problems in the Great Lakes Basin. » Letters Cont. from pg. 6 I yearn for leaders to bring us to solutions bridging the gap between gun owners’ fear of loss and children at risk. I desire leaders to move the conversation forward.

Rep. Elise Stefanik has not been a leader moving the conversation forward based on her recent actions. She deflects, delays and divides.

She co-sponsored deflecting bills HR4909, the STOP School Violence Act, and HR 4811, Securing Our Schools. These bills deflect from the issue of so-called assault rifles, like the semi-automatic rifles AR-15, and their woeful results of death of American children and adults.

Stefanik delays. Consider her stance on various Republican led issues. She delays until her vote will not matter before voting “no.” When she votes “yes” at the last minute, she issues statements to her constituents with various excuses.

Stefanik divides. She does not work to bring together the people of the North Country. She barely comes to the North Country. She “calls in.”

Elise Stefanik is looking out for her own political career. We need better than that. We need a representative that can bring different views to the table and identify solutions that work.

Stefanik is not that person.

Lindy Ellis, Saranac Lake ■

These projects address a wide range of problems such as habitat loss, toxic pollution and runoff, invasive species, and wetland and beach degradation.

Without the GLRI, we would not be able to support these critical projects, which would mean trouble for the important bird species and other wildlife that depend on our natural resources. It would also have a grave impact on local economies throughout the North Country, too.

Some lawmakers in Washington are proposing a 90 percent cut in the funding that protects and restores the lakes.

This would be problematic for the Great Lakes, for Lake Ontario, and for our district. In New York, the Great Lakes provide fresh drinking water and support outdoor recreation. Together, the lakes have a $2.27 billion impact on the economy and bolster almost 12,000 jobs.

It’s also the foundation of our multi-million tourism industry in the New York Seaway Trail region, provides critical hydropower generation, and so much more.

This area — equally vital to birds — is already experiencing degradation and loss of habitat, so an interruption in the funding that seeks to reverse and restore those places would force birds to seek refuge and breeding ground elsewhere.

Similarly, the Lake Champlain Basin Program and the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) allow Congress to protect and restore our natural ecosystems and habitat, and the vitality of water in the region.

Unfortunately, these programs also need our out-

Opting out of voting is a valid choice

To the Editor: In response to Mr O’Neill’s letter (“Declining to vote is irresponsible,” March 10 edition of The Sun), I take it I’m supposed to vote for someone who I don’t want in the office they are running for?

I’m giving them the wrong message. Candidates study polls all the time. I like to think that with my not voting in past presidential elections, it sent a message to our current president that we wanted another option.

Inspiring to see students protest NRA

To the Editor: I want to congratulate the throng of Saranac Lake High School students who braved the storm for the March 14 National School Walkout.

It was so inspiring to see these kids refuse to let this massacre be forgotten. They led a sobering minute of silence for each of the 17 named victims in Parkland.

And thanks to our school administration for supporting this. Not all communities were so lucky.

spoken advocacy.

Last year, Congress adopted the Stefanik-Welch bipartisan amendment to restore $4.4 million in federal funding for the Lake Champlain Basin Program. Audubon joins in supporting the continued flow of critical resources to help protect the lake and its watershed’s biodiversity because that’s good for birds, other wildlife, and the people who live, work, and play in this region.

For these same reasons, it is also crucial to ensure the renewal of LWCF this year. LWCF enjoys broad, bipartisan support in Congress because it has protected special water and land across our state, including places like the Saratoga National Historical Park.

The program has also provided grants to improve state and local parks in every county in New York, including state beaches along the shores of Lake Ontario, Plattsburgh Parks, White Face and Gore Mountains, as well as Lake George.

The health of our natural resources is of vital importance to our region’s outstanding quality of life and the livelihoods of families across the North Country and all of New York.

These programs help protect those resources, and do so in a fiscally-responsible way that’s good for the people of New York and good for birds. After all, where birds thrive, people prosper. ■ ­— Rep. Stefanik represents New York’s 21st Congressional District. Ana Paula Tavares serves as the Executive Director and Vice President of Audubon New York.

There were also a respectable number of community members present in support. If these students don’t persist, who will? We older adults can’t seem to get anything done; maybe these young adults can, if they stick together and don’t give up.

The NRA has more money and propaganda than our nation’s high schoolers will ever have, but they have something the NRA doesn’t.

First, the actuality of having to live in fear for their lives simply by being students in a public school in America in 2018.

Second, too many American high schoolers have the passion that comes from seeing classmates shot to death, or hearing actual gunfire in their school, or smelling gunpowder, or slipping in a friend’s blood while being rushed out by a SWAT team, of having to imagine it actually happening in their school, to their friends, to themselves, of having practice shooter survival skills… in school, of all places!

And of course it will happen again somewhere, because there aren’t enough politicians with enough integrity to stand up to the hyperbolic fear-mongering by the NRA. I pray that these youngsters across the nation will persevere even though the NRA politicians will do everything to discourage, obstruct, intimidate and ignore them. Please, students, the rest of us need you to bring some sanity to our out-of-control gun culture!

Satellite isn’t the answer for universal broadband

To the Editor: Do not be fooled by promises of high speed internet connections by HughesNet. Out of desperation, I have been using them for a number of years.

Their service is nowhere near the high speed that is necessary for reasonable access to the internet. Something as simple as a five-minute YouTube video will start and stop as it downloads. In addition, the limited access and usage based billing makes the service expensive.

I find it necessary to monitor my usage and curtail essential activity at the end of each billing cycle when the monthly allotment renews.

During the TARP investments after the 2008 financial crisis, Hughes was given large subsides to connect rural areas. They were unable to see that my home qualified. They noted my Westport mailing address but were totally incapable of realizing that in spite of the Westport address, I lived in the Town of Moriah.

HughesNet satellite is not the solution we need.

We need true high speed internet access. At this point, that must be cable or fiber optic lines.

Conservation conversations

Cobwebs will be all that remains if dairy business doesn’t see relief It was -10 below this morning. For the third week in March, that is cold.

Too cold.

But last night’s news was even colder.

A talk show hosting a panel of local

By Rich Redman farmers discussed the low prices • COLUMNIST • dairies are getting for 100 pounds of milk, or roughly 11.5 gallons.

Dairy farmers are getting paid today what their fathers or grandfathers were paid 40 years ago. Milk prices have fallen and stayed down for a few years now.

Normally, there are the cyclic up and down years. The good years pay for the bad years.

But lately there have been no good years. We are losing family run dairy farms!

Forty years ago, a wage of $2 per hour would have been normal, and if you got $5 per hour, you hit it big time.

It was a better time for farms. The milk price was up and costs were in line with what a farm was paid.

But today the ends cannot be met.

Like cars, tractors now have a mortgage payment plan now attached to them, and the fuel to run them is expensive. Taxes, labor costs, fuel, clothing, grain, lubricants, and farm equipment have all gone sky high, while income has decreased.

Environmental concerns also cost dollars, but come in last when ranked with other farm priorities.

The small family farm will die unless there is a change in both state and federal policies.

So what can we do?

Write letters to our local, state and federal government elected officials.

If you can’t write, call.

Voice your concern, and demand a new dairy policy that works and supports our dairy farmers.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo: 518-474-8390 Sen. Charles Schumer: 202- 224-6542 Rep. Elise Stefanik: 202-225-4611 Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand: 202-224-4451 State Sen. Betty Little: 518-743-0968 Assemblyman Billy Jones: 518-562-1986 Request that they promote and correct the dairy pricing system so our farmers have a better quality of life. No one should lose a farm that has been in their family for eons because of an outdated and dysfunctional pricing system.

Fix the problem before the farms are just memories.

And secondly: Drink more milk.

Part of the milk pricing system is supply and demand.

Demand is down because people are drinking cokes and other soft drinks along with all the vitamin water, flavored water, colored water and just plain old bottled water water.

If a multinational company can afford to buy a half

minute of advertising during the Super Bowl for millions of dollars, they are not hurting. Dairy promotion can’t afford that kind of time slot or cost, and should not need too.

It’s time to be a wise consumer and support the dairy industry even more than normal. Instead of buying a bottle of water or pop to ease your thirst, try some milk.

Milk is hydration power food. It’s loaded with calcium and protein to replenish your body and if you buy chocolate milk, you get a flavored energy boost. Top exercise trainers are now encouraging the use of chocolate milk, replacing the commercialized sports drinks.

So replace those empty calorie, sugar-laden, donothing-for-you, weight-gaining, diabetes-causing soft drinks, and power up with whole milk — the original power drink.

Put your money to work for the local dairy farmer.

Drink milk, buy some ice cream, have a cheese sandwich or macaroni and cheese for lunch. With the morning cereal, have some yogurt and toast with real butter and feel good about what you are doing to your body and for the local dairy farmers.

We are all in this together. The earth supplies us food and housing. Farmers grow food, and forests supply us with wood to build. We need both to be economically sound for the owners.

If we as a society don’t act on both the political and consumer front lines, the only thing left in the wooden dairy barn will be cobwebs. ■

Green Party candidate Kahn enters race for Congress Lynn Kahn is positioning herself as a government reformer in bid to unseat Stefanik

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

SCHROON LAKE | Just call her the “Government Mechanic.”

After spending four decades working to untangle the federal bureaucracy as an organizational psychologist, Dr. Lynn S. Kahn is pivoting to a run for Congress.

Kahn, 71, announced her campaign last week for New York’s 21st Congressional District as a Green Party candidate.

“When I talk to people, I see a lot of pain under the anger, a lot of struggle, and quite a bit of despair,” Kahn told The Sun. Kahn, who has resided in Schroon Lake since 2016, will also circulate petitions as an independent.

The candidate ran as an independent in the 2016 presidential campaign, putting 70,000 miles on her car in 20 months and talking to countless people in the process, experience she said provided an intimate look at the problems facing everyday Americans.

“I listened a lot, and I understand how much struggle and pain there is in the country,” Kahn said.

Kahn ultimately came in 15th nationally.

EXPERIENCE TOUTED

Kahn’s entry to the race makes her the ninth candidate seeking to deny Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) a third term, joining seven Democratic candidates and one Republican.

Throughout her career in Washington, the candidate was brought in to reform federal agencies, including the Internal Revenue

Service and Federal Aviation Administration, where her efforts resulted in what many in the industry have called the “gold standard of strategic planning,” said the candidate.

She has also served on the National Partnership for Reinventing Government, a President Clinton-era initiative to make government more efficient.

As a psychologist, Kahn was tasked with organizational management and helping agencies streamline operations and find common ground.

“How do you make a plan to deliver lofty goals in a complicated environment where people from different points of view have to agree on clear actions?” Kahn said.

Culling government waste was a keystone of those efforts, and Kahn argues she is the only candidate with such an intimate look at how the executive branch operates.

“I know how to look under the hood,” Kahn

said. “I’m the candidate who knows how to implement changes that need to happen.”

Kahn later offered consulting to several New York City departments, including the city’s Department of Juvenile Justice and Department of Probation.

Additional campaign planks in the candidate’s platform include expanding health care, growing green jobs, solving veterans’ complaints, transforming family law and protecting and repairing the environment.

Kahn, who is also an author and columnist, is particularly interested in veterans issues.

During her presidential campaign, she participated in 12 presidential debates and forums. In doing so, she got to know Veterans Party of America candidate Chris Keniston, who offered a keen insight into issues from a veteran’s perspective.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs needs a complete overhaul, Kahn said, and its mission statement should be rewritten to focus on providing “world-class benefits” to veterans and their families.

“There’s 100 VA facilities under internal investigation, from negligence to prescriptions of opioids,” Kahn said. “You need to send in really tough consulting teams. You need 100 consulting teams.”

LOOKING TOWARDS PETITIONS

The candidate’s platform and persona appear to be wildly divergent from that of Matt Funiciello, the Green Party’s candidate in 2014 and 2016.

Funiciello, a baker and political activist, based his freewheeling populist bids around single-payer health care and attacking the two major parties as equally-unpalatable vessels controlled by corporate interests.

Funiciello also delighted in needling his Democratic opponents and offering a steady stream of commentary on social media.

Kahn joins the race when Democrats are hustling to circulate petitions for ballot

access before the April 12 deadline — just three weeks away.

The field is sure to winnow if candidates cannot meet the 1,250 signature threshold: All but one, Katie Wilson, have promised to support the eventual nominee if they fall short in making the ballot.

Democratic hopefuls occupy a wide swatch of the political spectrum, from moderates like Tedra Cobb to more progressive candidates like Patrick Nelson, a Stillwater-based activist and former legislative aide who has largely adopted many of the campaign platforms highlighted by Funiciello, including sharply deriding the role of money in politics and calling for a less interventionist U.S. foreign policy.

Does Kahn see an opening for her candidacy in the race?

“I think there’s a huge opening,” she said.

“I don’t like labels. In some ways, I’m a fiscal conservative because I don’t like waste.

“Neither party has solved problems for decades.”

But government also has a role in ensuring everyone has the resources to prosper, she said.

Kahn is now circulating petitions for both the Green Party and as an independent candidate.

She held her first public event last week in Glens Falls, a meeting with the Warren County Green Party.

The candidate envisions a wide-ranging retail campaign, knocking on doors, talking to voters across the district and most importantly, listening.

Stefanik won re-election in 2016 by 35 points, the largest point spread by any federal Republican lawmaker in the state.

Funiciello garnered 10.6 and 4.6 percent of the vote in 2014 and 2016, respectively.

Kahn said she isn’t dissuaded by the numbers.

“I think every incumbent is vulnerable,” she said, “and I think the Republican Party is particularly vulnerable.” ■

Indian Lake aims to host first U.S. quadrathlon If successful, Indian Lake would be first U.S. locality to host event

By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

INDIAN LAKE | Indian Lake wants to become the first venue in the United States to host a “quadrathlon.”

The debut installment of the AQA Quadrathlon is scheduled for June 16 in Indian Lake, according to the Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce (ILCC), who briefed the town board last week and asked for their support.

The event will be organized under the newly-minted American Quadrathlon Association, said Chamber of Commerce President Bill Murphy and fellow chamber board member Leonard Carbonara.

Board members appeared enthused.

“The Iron Man and triathlon competitions are quite popular, so I think this (quadrathlon) has potential,” said Councilwoman Patricia Ryan-Curry, referring to the annual event in Lake Placid.

The event’s early slogan?

“Do the Q.” The quadrathlon one-ups the triathlon by adding kayaking to swimming, biking and running.

Although the quadrathlon started in Europe in 1987, no other quadrathlon has been run in the U.S. since then.

Carbonara said early plans for a course in Indian Lake include an approximately half-mile swim, followed by a four-mile paddle.

Athletes would then get out of the water and perform a 10k bike ride followed by a 10k run.

ILCC aimed to sign up at least 50 people at the Adirondack Summer Sports & Fitness Expo held last week in Saratoga Springs.

Carbonara said he is optimistic the event will see liftoff because

there are other triathlon or “Iron Man” events held in the region.

He said there are over 550,000 members of the national triathlon association, and triathletes are always looking for something different to do.

According to the World Quadrathlon Federation (WQF), the event always begins with the swim and finishes with the run, but the kayaking and biking events can be switched.

And while the WQF lists middle and long distance events, Murphy said they are proposing Indian Lake host a sprint distance quadrathlon, which includes a three-quarters of a kilometer swim, 20km bike, 4km kayak, and a 5km run.

The newly formed AQA has copyrighted the name “quadrathlon” under Carbonara’s name, and ILCC would be entitled to license fees for others’ use of the name. ■ The Indian Lakes Chamber of Commerce is spearheading an effort to bring a “quadrathlon” to the Town of Indian Lake - the first ever such event in the United States. The event is tentatively scheduled for June 16, and organizers are hoping to get at least 50 entrants for the inaugural event.

Willsboro shooters improve in second season

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

WILLSBORO | For the second year, student athletes from Willsboro Central School ended their season at the United States Military Academy, where they participated in the NYSPHSAA state rifle championships.

The Willsboro shooting team finished its second season with a fifth place finish out of eight teams at the event, but coaches John Oliver and Charmaine Flynn said it was an

extremely successful season.

“Our rank may not have improved, but the quality of our shooting and our scores improved a lot,” Oliver said.

“The improvement on their mechanics coming into this season was a key,” Flynn said. “They had learned all of the basics last year so we were able to do more this season.”

The coaches said they were fortunate to work with the SUNY Plattsburgh Shooting Club with coach Peter Visconti.

“They brought a couple of their shooters in

The roster of the Willsboro Central School varsity rifle team are, back from left, coach John Oliver, Sierra Bronson, Robert Drollette, Margaret Frechette, Caleb King, Baliee Pulsifer, Adam Mero, Savannah Bronson, coach Charmaine Flynn, front from left Lexi Nolette, Kyla C row ningshield , B rad y Sw eatt, K ira C row ningshield and Everett C assavaugh.

and helped our kids a lot,” Flynn said. “They also looked at one of our students who will be going there next year as a member of the team.”

During the regular season, the team would shoot at the Willsboro Fish and Game Club, exchanging results with other teams throughout the state in order to have a league season.

“We were closer in every match this season,” Oliver said. “I think it is amazing what we have been able to accomplish so far because all of these schools are much, much bigger than we are.”

“Our team is also still very young,” Flynn said. “A lot of the teams we play have a bunch of juniors and seniors. Next year, we will

be more in their position with experience.”

Oliver said he was impressed with how well the teams get along when they come together for their tournament in West Point.

“Everyone is so nice and caring,” he said.

“It was so nice because we had the big snowstorm as all the teams were driving there and everyone was texting each other to make sure everyone was okay,” Flynn added.

Members of the Willsboro Rifle team include Kiara Crowningshield, Brandy Sweatt, Savannah Bronson, Margaret Frechette and Robbie Drollette. ■

Scholarship to be created in memory of Moriah top fan John Russo was a lifelong fan and community booster

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

MORIAH | The Moriah high school sports community was recently saddened by the passing of a man who many called their number one fan.

John F. Russo could be seen on the sidelines of many Viking conquests — or contests — from the small gyms of the North Country to the bright lights of Troy and Binghamton.

Russo passed away Feb. 23, just prior to what has become another Final Four postseason run for both the boy’s an girl’s basketball teams.

Now, John’s daughter, Julie DeSimone, has created the John F Russo Memorial Athletic Scholarship to honor his memory.

“He always attended all sports events as long I can remem-

ber. He loved sports and the kids just as much. He attended every home and away game, rain, shine or snow, actually.”

DeSimone said, in many ways, sports was one of the biggest passions of his later life.

“My dad was 84, but that didn’t stop him” she said. “He underwent two major surgeries this last year and pulled through both of them, The whole time he was just concerned about getting home to the Moriah sports world. He actually lived to watch these kids and we want his memory to stay with us for a very long time.”

The John F. Russo Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a pair of senior girls and a pair of senior boys annually.

DeSimone said there has been a large interest in donating to the scholarship fund. Those interested in donating can send checks to: John F. Russo Memorial, c/o Julie DeSimone, P.O. Box 31, Moriah, N.Y. 12960. ■ A memorial scholarship has been created in memory of John F. Russo, who has been referred to as a top fan of the Moriah Viking sports teams.

Local doctor gifts ECH endowment for ongoing education “It’s my of saying thank you,” says Dr. Herbert Savel

He scored sixth in the state.

“It paid for everything in medical school at New York University,” Savel said. “Without the scholarship, I couldn’t have become a doctor.”

Savel, who specializes in internal medicine, came to the small community hospital nearly half a century ago from the University of Vermont Medical School where he worked a professor of medicine.

He and wife Isabel raised their two sons, Richard and Thomas, both now doctors, in Elizabethtown.

Having attended medical school at Mt. Sinai, Dr. Thomas Savel is a medical officer and information scientist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

With a medical degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Savels’ son Dr. Richard Savel is director of Critical Care at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City.

“Both attended high school here in Elizabethtown, they grew up here,” Savel said. “This was a great place to raise our children, and the hospital has long been a resource and a great benefit to the community. The care and the comfort provided by staff is unsurpassed.”

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Dr. Herbert Savel has presented a rare and generous gift to colleagues at the University of Vermont Health Network, Elizabethtown Community Hospital: Education.

The Dr. Herbert Savel Educational Fund has been created exclusively for ECH personnel to further their education at any level.

“It’s for housekeeping staff, the licensed practical nurse, the registered nurse, the data entry person who might want an advanced degree,” Savel told The Sun. Savel declined to disclose the exact amount.

“It’s my way of saying ‘thank you,’ to show my appreciation for all the help received from ECH over these many years,” he said.

DEEP TIES

‘THIS IS GENEROUS’

Dr. Savel has been an attending physician here since Jan. 1, 1971, approaching 50 of his six decades in practice. He obtained his medical degree at New York University School of Medicine in 1958.

“Education is what made my life possible,” said Savel, of Elizabethtown.

Back in high school, the son of New York City grocers took the exam for the New York State Medical Scholarship.

At ECH, spokeswoman Jane Hooper said the fund was announced to staff last week.

It will be available for employees who wish to pursue further work in their profession or for advanced degrees and certification.

Hooper said the amount is generous without specifying dollar value.

“This is generous, both the gift and Dr. Savel’s kindness in doing this.”

She said the reach to every employee at ECH represents wholly the teamwork required at a small hospital where housekeeping professionals are as important to function as the nursing, pharmacy, medical and IT staff.

For ECH Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer Julie Tromblee, the Dr. Savel Educational Fund provides a foundation for continued staff support.

“Dr. Savel is acutely aware that every employee within every department contributes to the overall quality and care of patients. Regardless of whether the employee is a clinical staff member, support staff or administration, the educational fund is in place to help support education and career advancement of everyone at Elizabethtown Community Hospital and its health centers.”

REQUIREMENTS GROWN

Looking back over 60 years in medical practice, Dr. Savel said the requirements for certification, licensure and education has grown exponentially with advancements in medicine and in hospital facilities.

“It’s incredible, medical science has advanced at an incredible rate,” he said.

Small community hospitals mark an important place for both state-of-the-art medicine and local care.

“And education is key. I am providing this opportunity for the future. It is in gratitude for the assistance, aid and good care my patients have received over the years.”

The fund will be held at ECH, Hooper said, managed as an endowment. Employees at the hospital will apply for scholarships through a process open to all staff.

The Nature Conservancy’s Adirondack Chapter is looking for volunteers to help our stewardship team prepare our public nature preserves for visitor access this spring. This would entail coordinating with our stewardship team, traveling to preserves, and cleaning up parking areas, trailheads, and trails. This work may also involve making repairs to kiosks, trail registers or other preserve infrastructure. Volunteers should be prepared to work outside for a good portion of the day at a time and date convenient for all parties. If you have your own hand tools you are welcome to use those.

However, we will also provide hand tools as well as snacks, water, sunscreen and bug spray. We hope to begin as soon as the weather starts to cooperate. Once we see the interest coming from volunteers, we will have an orientation that will answer questions such as where these preserves are located and other logistical questions.
