North Country shared service plans pass hurdles Assembly Speaker Heastie sticks by plans that have local governments griping

the county and towns, including shared tax collection software and purchasing, said Board of Legislators Chair Barbara Rice.

The county board of legislators approved the plan, and towns are scheduled to vote on Aug. 23.

If approved by the legislative bodies, counties will get a one-time check for the savings.

But the process, some officials have said, has been marked by uncertainty.

“This was a fairly complicated law, requiring a lot of moving pieces in a short period of time with sometimes inconsistent guidance from state officials,” said New York State Association of Counties Executive Director Stephen J. Acquario in a statement.

Palmer said he was unclear on what happens when panels choose to delay hatching a plan.

“There’s not a lot of guidance if we choose to delay until 2018. It just says we need to pick up the process again,” he said.

The spokesman told the Sun the state is continuing to tabulate how many panels submitted proposals to their respective legislative bodies statewide.

“We’ve been well under 1 percent for the period of time this tax cap has been in place,” Scozzafava said.

Asked about their concerns, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said the state Assembly agrees with the “true” “The whole tax formula has to change.

If a plan is brought to a vote and defeated, the admin unaddressed by these panels.

Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) said he mentioned local concerns to Heastie when the governor announced the initiative in January.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Open-minded political discourse in the Trump era

Remember that when you watch NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, and CBS hoping for complete and accurate journalistic reporting regarding everything that’s going on.

Sheryl Atkinson, who was once an excellent investigative reporter for CBS, has written several books explaining the consequence of straying from the progressive liberal agenda of mainstream media. It’s very interesting reading from a woman who is now an excellent investigative writer.

Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown

To the Editor: Doesn’t it make more sense for us to just talk to each other?

Political venom continues to fly unencumbered across the airwaves, the internet and in the pages of newspapers — including this one.

People on the right and the left spout anger and righteous indignation.

We can do better than this.

Editor’s note: In response to last week’s editorial (“SpecWe know that if we have a disagreement with our spouse trum fumbles on local sports coverage”), the following was or child, we need to sit down and talk about it.

COMMENTARY

From the Mayor

Time to re-invent government

Responding to Spectrum editorial

Double standard when it comes to partisan pottymouths To the Editor: Many will celebrate the fall of White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci as a result of his f-bomb dropping interview with the New Yorker magazine. I would be among them.

However, the issue again raises the question about the double standard that the media applies toward Democrats and Republicans when illegal or inappropriate actions have taken place.

New York State Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat, dropped the f-bomb repeatedly during a recent speech to millennials — and there was hardly any notice much less concern.

Some media suggested she was simply striking a bond with millennials.

In my view, Gillibrand’s tasteless speech was as vulgar and boorish as Scaramucci’s comments, yet she will suffer no consequence from it.

We’ve all witnessed this double standard for years as Republicans resign while Democrats remain as if the media doesn’t really expect or care about decency and honesty from Democrat leadership.

For eight years, the media and Barack Obama looked backwards, blaming George Bush. Yet the media has no interest in looking back at Obama and Hillary Clinton and instead spend every day trying to look backwards at Trump and everyone around him.

Bush had issues and perhaps Trump has had issues, but Obama and Clinton were involved in numerous serious things that remain problematic today, yet you won’t hear much about it from the mainstream media.

I, as director of communications, gave a brief summary of what was going on with our relationship.

Spectrum will produce most of their high school content online this coming school year, but some of the regular season games and state championships could be broadcast on the Spectrum News channels.

There should not be an increased fee to current Spectrum subscribers.

“Spectrum Sports has been a great partner for the Association for a number of years,” said Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director. “Our goal is to continue to find ways to improve our partnership with Spectrum Sports to highlight and promote the student athletes of New York State.”

Chris Watson, NYSPHSAA

Correction In the Aug. 4 edition of the newspaper, the name of Hans Kurr was misspelled in his letter to the editor. We regret the error.

Colin Read

Mayor of Plattsburgh, readc@cityofplattsburgh.ny,gov

T

here was a time when almost anything seemed affordable. When our nation’s output and population increased by 4 percent each year, we could count on a doubling of spending in government every 18 years.

But once we decline by 4 percent annually, we half in size just as quickly.

When Plattsburgh had an expanding airbase, affluence came easily. Until recently, we promised a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.

Then, people started moving to the sunbelt, manufacturing moved to Japan and China, and the airbase just went away.

Upstate New York loses about 10,000 people every year. Clinton County is holding its own, but the City of Plattsburgh is falling behind.

There’s one institution bucking the trend.

While residents move from New York to Florida, and from the city to other areas in Clinton County, city government continued to grow in expenditures, and our management ranks grew dramatically. It’s time to spend within our means.

We must preserve services while we protect taxpayers.

The solution is simple: Let’s strive to devote resources where we need services.

Our frontline city employees provide those services we all see and appreciate. But our temporary and seasonal workers are the first laid off when we fall into that all-tooeasy and self-serving strategy to maintain management at any cost.

In doing so, we lose all those who guard our beach, run our recreation programs, maintain our parks, and stripe our fields.

As we cut more deeply, and only once all seasonal and part-time workers are laid off, we next cannibalize our lowest paid full-time workers who fix our roads, repair our pipes, and keep our streets safe.

Were we to keep our city affordable by displacing perhaps a 100 workers who are on the front lines of the services we enjoy, we would save little more than the cost of a dozen managers.

These 100 are mostly part-time or seasonal, and they make so little per hour compared to their managerial counterparts.

I’m not saying for a moment that we don’t need managers. We have some excellent and experienced managers who know how to collaborate, spend their budgets as if that money comes from their own pockets, and understand that higher taxes in the city affects their pocketbook too.

But, we need to right-size, as painful as that might be. We can and will deliver government smarter. But, it won’t be easy.

International snowshoer to be arraigned Aug. 18 Charged with sex abuse; will stand before judge next week

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — An Indian athlete will face an Essex County judge Aug. 18 to answer to charges stemming from his trip to America to compete in a world-class snowshoe event.

Tanveer Hussain, 25, of Kashmir, India, was indicted by a grand jury last week on charges of violent felony firstdegree sexual abuse and two misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

The felony charge carries a prison sentence between 2-7 years, with supervision for 10 years following release, while the misdemeanor charges carry prison time of at most one year.

Hussain was originally set to be arraigned Friday, Aug. 4, but the court date was postponed to Friday, Aug. 18, as the county searches for a translator.

“We have had to use a translator often in our court, but with this language, we were having a difficult time finding someone who could be here on short notice,” Essex County Court Clerk Nicole Cassavaugh said. “We are currently working through the Office of Court Administration to get a translator.”

Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague said she could not discuss the case, but knew the court was seeking someone who could speak Hussain’s native tongue, which was identified as Kashmiri.

“The trial date will be set soon and we are prepared to proceed accordingly,” she said.

Hussain was in Saranac Lake in late February of this year to compete in the World Snowshoe Championships.

During that time, Saranac Lake Police alleged he “subjected a 12-year-old female to sexual contact and engaged in inappropriate conversations her,” saying he “engaged in a passionate kiss with the

girl and touched her in an intimate area over her clothing” at a village bed and breakfast.

On March 1, Hussain was arrested and brought before St. Armand Town Court, where he posted a bail of $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond, but surrendered his passport and is not allowed to leave the county.

Hussain rejected a potential plea deal in March, which would have allowed him to return to India.

His attorney, Brian Barrett, said at the time his client was looking forward to fighting the charges and was denying all allegations in the charges.

Upgrades underway at Boquet River Nature Preserve WILLSBORO — The Nature Conservancy’s Adirondack Chapter is making major upgrades to the trail network at its Boquet River Nature Preserve.

Professional trail builders this summer are constructing a 1.5-mile loop trail in the uplands portion of the 110-acre preserve.

When completed, the multi-use trail will be the longest accessible forest trail in the region designed and built to meet the Federal Trail Accessibility Guidelines under the Architectural Barriers Act. The new trail will have a minimal slope and a crushed stone surface that can accommodate walkers, runners, bikers, strollers and wheelchairs.

TNC has been working in collaboration with the Town of Willsboro to make this downtown preserve more user-friendly and attractive for outdoor recreation.

“By enhancing the visitor experience and expanding the trail network for a wider spectrum of users, we are advancing mutually beneficial goals for conservation and community purposes,” said

BUY IT! SELL IT! FIND IT! 518-873-6368 Ext. 201 “We’re more than a newspaper, we’re a community service.”

Connie Prickett, a TNC spokesperson.

“The Town of Willsboro is proud to be a partner with the Nature Conservancy in developing and managing the Boquet River Nature Preserve,” said Town Supervisor Shaun Gillilland. “The Americans with Disabilities Act compliant nature trails that wind in and about the preserve are a fabulous resource to help bring the healthful and healing effects of exposure to the natural world to people of all levels of mobility.”

The Boquet River Nature Preserve, named in 2015 by a Willsboro Central School second grader through a naming contest, currently has two public access points.

The uplands trailhead, where the new trail begins, is behind the Champlain Valley Assisted Living Center and the Paine Public Library, off of Route 22 and Main Street.

The conservancy has contracted with Tahawus Trails, LLC, an award-winning professional recreational trail design, construction, and consulting company, to complete these upgrades. The trail work is anticipated to be completed in September.

Stefanik, local officials look toward NAFTA Trade renegotiations in focus as new U.S. ambassador to Canada sworn in

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Ahead of North American Free Trade Agreement negotiations, local officials are lining up to congratulate the new U.S. ambassador to Canada.

Kelly Craft was confirmed by the U.S. Senate last week, one of 65 appointments lawmakers approved before vacating Washington, D.C. for the summer recess.

The GOP fundraiser and Kentucky native is the first woman to hold the position.

“In the North Country, we know that Canada is more than a bordering nation — they are our neighbors, friends and trading partners,” said Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) in a statement.

Plattsburgh has boasted close ties to their northern neighbor, and have even branded themselves as “Montreal’s U.S. Suburb,” with 15 percent of its area workforce working for a Canadian or border-related employer.

Stefanik said she has reached out to Craft to schedule a meeting along with a delegation of key stakeholders from New York’s 21st Congressional District.

“I look forward to working with Ambassador Craft to further strengthen our special relationship with Canada, and to improve commerce and tourism between our two nations,” Stefanik said.

SNOWBIRD ACT Stefanik has been active in strengthening the rela-

tionship between the two neighbors, namely when it comes to issues related to trade and tourism.

The lawmaker last month co-introduced legislation to ease visa restrictions for Canadians.

Current U.S. law limits the amount of time a Canadian visitor may spend in the U.S. to 182 days per year.

The Canadian Snowbird Visa Act would extend the time Canadians aged 50 or over who own or lease a home in the U.S. can travel in the United States by two months.

“Providing them with an extra two months to engage in these activities will support many small businesses, grow jobs, and foster an ever closer relationship with our neighbors to the north,” Stefanik said.

Stefanik has also supported pre-clearance legislation that would streamline the process by which Canadians are able to enter and goods are exported at the northern border.

Nearly 4 million Canadians visit New York annually, spending $1.5 billion, according to the lawmaker’s office.

But the relationship isn’t all rosy.

President Trump has called the trade agreement between the U.S, Canada and Mexico “the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere,” according to CNN, and campaigned on renegotiating a more favorable agreement.

Canada’s recent implementation of more protectionist trade policies has reduced U.S. milk exports, a practice Stefanik has called “harmful” to the state’s dairy farmers.

Stefanik in April co-signed a letter to Trump thanking him for addressing the issue.

“As your administration crafts NAFTA policies, we

must ensure that our trade partners maintain compliance with ongoing agreements,” read the letter. “Please stand with us in enforcing current law and opposing Canadian policies that disrupt global milk powder market and directly hurt American exports.”

NAFTA renegotiations will formally begin on Aug. 16, and are expected to run through January.

Some other priorities Stefanik has for NAFTA renegotiation include following the principle of “do no harm” to “ensure the overwhelmingly positive economic impacts of trade with Canada are not affected, promoting duty free shopping to facilitate the flow of goods across the border, and easing restrictions on the amount of wine and craft beer Canadian tourists can purchase in the U.S.,” according to a spokesman.

MUCH TO OFFER Garry Douglas, President of the North Country Chamber of Commerce, said a good relationship with Canada is paramount for the region, and hailed Stefanik for reaching out to forge an early connection with Craft.

“We look forward to meeting with her soon and then working actively with her to advance the U.S.-Canadian economic partnership, using the North Country as a model,” Douglas said.

Douglas said the region is recognized in both countries as a “strong example” of bilateral economic integration, particularly when it comes to importing and exporting and manufacturing.

“We have much to offer in terms of information and experience as the two countries explore how to strengthen the bi-national economic partnership through the upcoming NAFTA discussions,” he said.

Keeseville set to party Aug. 12 with Field Day and Music Fest Old Time Field Day, Music Festival and Parade set

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

KEESEVILLE — The hamlet will be full of activity Saturday, Aug. 12 as the third annual Old Time Field Day and Parade will take place.

The event, which also includes a music festival, returned three years ago after taking a 17 year break, according to organizer and local businessman Thom Loreman.

“Our goal is to help draw people to the downtown area and build on the events we have already,” said Loreman. “The Field Day acts as a fundraiser for the town, and we were able to use funds generated through the event to start a summer music festival, as well.”

The fifth part of the music festival will be held the day before Field Day, Aug. 11, and feature Half Circle with Damaged Goods. Other concerts will include Just Us (Aug. 18), Movin’ On (Aug. 25) and Timeless (Sept. 1, changed from July 7).

EVENT SCHEDULE Saturday, Aug. 12 will start with the Field Day 5K and Fun Run, a timed race which will start at 8 a.m. at the North Country Club. For more information, call 834-9205 or 8347571.

The next — and one of the highlight — events of the day will be the annual parade, which steps off at 11 a.m. at the firehouse and will travel through First Street and up Clinton Street before ending at Jaycee Park.

Loreman said the committee is still looking for all kinds of

NCCC << Continued from | p. 1

The budget assumes an enrollment of 975 full-time enrollments, or FTEs, from traditional students and another 180 FTE from the Second Change Pell Program for prisoners at local incarceration facilities — an 8 percent increase over current levels.

Five-hundred and thirty Essex County students were enrolled at the college’s three campuses in the 2016-17 academic year.

But just 28 were Class of 2016 graduates from high schools in Essex County.

NCCC President Dr. Steve Tyrell admitted the number appeared low at first glance. But nontraditional and returning students constitute a large portion of the student body, he said, and not everyone attends college immediately following high school graduation.

In 2016-17, 24 percent of all enrolled students at NCCC were from Essex County, Tyrell said.

But the county contributed just 9.6 percent of the total budget.

groups to join them in the parade. Those interested can contact him at 834-9205.

The Field Day Car Show will begin at noon at the Keeseville Fairgrounds.

At the same time, the music and fun will start taking place, with a wide variety of food and refreshment available, along with vendors selling their wares.

“Last year, we had 50 craft tables and 14 activity areas provided by local businesses,” Loreman said. “This year we are adding bubble soccer and foot darts, where you kick a velcro soccer ball onto a bullseye wall.”

Loreman said the new features are intended to keep the middle youth ages involved.

“These are things that the tween ages and young teens would be interested in,” he said.

“We will also have traditional kids games and others, like horseshoes and more.”

“We hope you’re getting a good return on investment there,” Tyrell said.

As in past years, lawmakers continued to question chargeback costs, or the amount of money Essex County must pay to other counties when students attend community colleges in their jurisdictions.

That number floats between $600,000 and $700,000 annually.

“A community college is to serve the communities we support, and sadly we are failing at that mission because the numbers are not what they should be,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava.

“I don’t think we’re getting the return that we should be getting in terms of the mission of a community college.”

For Scozzafava, the student migration elsewhere is for one reason: programming.

“It’s because they can’t get the classes they want to take here,” he said.

Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally said students from a handful of towns in southern Essex County instead opt to attend SUNY Adirondack in Warren County.

There will also be music, featuring Damaged Goods and

Plain Jane, with events lasting until 6 p.m.

The Keeseville Old Time Field Days will take place Saturday, Aug. 12.

“Schroon Lake, Minerva and North Hudson do not use North Country Community College,” he said.

Tyrell said the reasons for why students may opt attend school elsewhere is far more nuanced, and there is not enough data available from other schools to discern the exact reasons.

PRESSED ON STUDY Lawmakers said they have been awaiting a strategic plan for years detailing a better picture of the school’s enrollment and finances.

“That’s a critical piece to tie with budgets in the future,” said Gillilland.

Tyrell said the report must first be reviewed by staff on Aug. 23, and predicted the document would be in lawmaker hands a “couple weeks later.”

NCCC is primarily a liberal arts and science school, with nursing and criminal justice programs supplementing core offerings.

But lawmakers believe the college needs to do more to incorporate voca-

tional training into the curriculum, including automotive programming and building trades.

Keene Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson noted the existence of a state-funded report exploring whether NCCC should utilize the former Lowe’s in Ticonderoga to open a trade school.

Wilson said the report revealed potential, but noted faculty didn’t have enough time to explore the document properly when presented with the findings, and the process was rushed.

“It was done at the last minute,” said Wilson, an English professor at NCCC. “I was at that meeting. I can give you a first-hand account of how that meeting played out.”

Tyrell disputed that characterization. Faculty were given that report two months in advance, he said.

“I think they did have a fair shake at it,” he said.

The vote to delay acceptance of the budget was unanimous: 18-0.

4-H << Continued from | p. 1

who is 8, is ready for 4-H craft competition.

Her poster project shares the Relay For Life race she ran for a young friend who was diagnosed with cancer.

From Ticonderoga, the Feather Buddies 4-H Club helped get the chicken and duck barn area cleaned up.

The clubs work together with young people from all around Essex County.

Kaitlyn Moore, 16, of Ticonderoga, rousted a ready shovel assist from Spencer Lobdell, 6, of Lewis Many of the youth work with farm animals of all types as part of their club activities.

Kaitlyn said they raise all kinds of livestock: cows, goats, sheep and chickens.

But she is showing her favorite cow, Kai, at the fair this summer.

“The cows are my favorite,” she said of animal husbandry skills she’s learning at the farm and through 4-H. Kai is an eight-month-old Jersey calf, one their farm will keep as part of the milking herd at the Crammond Farm.

Spencer, who was helping ready the fairgrounds with the Lewis Go-Getters 4-H Club, said that day his favorite project was to clean-up.

And with that, he shoveled another dusty piled of leaves into the wheelbarrow.

Helping with the youth, Sharon Garvey, a retired long-time manager for Cornell Cooperative Extension in Essex County, is also going to help judge when the kids bring their projects in on August 15. It is a post that has allowed her a chance to meet and encourage young people from around 30 clubs from all towns.

“It’s especially great when you get to see the children from throughout the county, see how they have grown and matured.”

www.suncommunitynews.com

As kids continue in 4-H, Garvey said, they become junior leaders.

“And that’s very important.”

One of the junior leaders hails from Ticonderoga, Riley Garrabrant, who is 12-years-old.

On their farm, she said, there are 10 cows, one goat, three rabbits and four chickens.

“My cow Shake is my favorite,” Riley said.

Shake is a two-year-old red and white Hereford and will be at the fair.

The animals don’t generally mind the several days they spend in the fairground barns, but one of the jobs for Riley this year is as Junior Superintendent of the baby barn, where she will monitor food, water and caretaking.

Leading her cow on tether isn’t difficult during the show.

“With her, I can say ‘come here’ and she’ll follow,” Riley said of working with her cow.

The 4-H Club kids will bring their animals in for judging on Aug. 15 as well.

Organizing the fair preparation effort last Friday, Linda Gillilland is county coordinator of 4-H Youth Development.

Gillilland said participation in 4-H tops about 200 young people.

Many of them were busy in the barns, the stanchions, the pens and in the 4-H Exhibit Hall and kitchen, in Floral Hall and all the display areas that soon will showcase what they have learned through the past year.

The 169th Essex County Fair runs from Aug. 16 to 20 this year. A complete schedule of events and showing times can be found at essexcountyfair. org

Convention << Continued from | p. 1

“And there are only two ways to pay for it: either a tax increase, or to take money away from critical services like fire, police, or even our children’s education,” the group said in a statement.

CITIZENS UNION Citizens Union is leading a statewide coalition of groups who believe a convention is the only way to implement true reform.

Chief on their list is reforming ethics laws, fighting corruption, opening the state’s closed primary elections, enacting term limits for state legislators, streamlining the court system and codifying the rights of women.

“We cannot keep relying on the political status quo that serves powerful interests and ignores everyday New Yorkers,” said Dick Dadey, executive director of Citizens Union.

The convention that produced the current state constitution gave birth to Forever Wild in 1894 and helped break the grip of lumber interests on state politics, said Evan Davis, manager of the Committee for a Constitutional Convention.

“If there had not been a convention, we would not have Forever Wild,” he told attendees at an info session at his Westport home on Saturday.

A convention may also help codify environmental rights as a hostile White House rolls them back.

Davis said it is unlikely delegates would run antienvironmental platforms — especially considering a proposed land bank for the Catskills and Adirondacks is on the ballot.

The $300 million estimate is based on twice-inflated numbers from the failed 1967 convention, he said.

“The opposition will not stop using this totally bogus number because they like it.”

A convention may even lead to cost-savings, he said, with a streamlined court system projected to save $900 million in the next decade.

And the state’s status as a deep-blue bastion would act as a bulwark against extremism.

To elect 103 people, he said, is “an impossibility for the radical right, or even the radical left.”

ELECTED OFFICIALS Four of the five state’s legislative leaders are against a convention.

“My concern is that well-financed special interests can decide to run campaigns and elect 180 temporary legislators who we don’t really know much about,” state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie told reporters in Plattsburgh last week.

He continued: “I think we should be very careful when we open up the constitution. We’re a country that’s built on representative government, and I think when there’s been times to open up the constitution, we’ve done that.”

The second passage of pension forfeiture will be on the ballot this fall, he noted, indicating that the system does work.

North Country state lawmakers, too, are opposed, citing costs, environmental concerns and an extraterritorial legislative process.

“You’re not sure what you’re going to get,” Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) told attendees at a legislative breakfast in Plattsburgh in March. “The unintended consequence that comes from that would do more harm than good.”

Voters will have to approve any proposed revisions before they take effect.

DELEGATE SELECTION A fault line has emerged over who should serve as delegates.

If approved, each of New York’s 63 state Senate districts will elect three delegates, numbering some 204 in total (including 15 at-large delegates).

Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, a long-time advocate of the convention, has proposed a bill requiring legislators to vacate their positions should they become delegates. Anyone lobbying the convention would be prohibited from serving.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo told the Daily News Editorial Board in February he “conceptually supports” the idea.

But, he said: “You have to find a way where the delegates do not wind up being the same legislators who you are trying to change the rules on. I have not heard a plan that does that.”

Davis stopped short of rejecting lobbyists. While he said he personally agrees they should not serve, he said it is his personal opinion, and not that of the proreform coalition.

PUBLIC SUPPORTS As New Yorkers become increasingly battle-scarred by corruption trials, they’re siding with the pro-reform movement.

A Quinnipiac Poll released on July 13 found that 55 percent of statewide voters support a convention, and 68 percent of voters support a constitutional amendment guaranteeing a woman’s right to an abortion.

The poll comes amid the news that the conviction of former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has been overturned by a federal appeals court.

Silver had been convicted for obtaining nearly $4 million in illicit payments in return for taking official actions that benefitted those who helped support him financially.
