Stefanik a ‘no’ on tax reform

Lawmaker says local taxpayers will not be protected under federal plan — but state needs to share the blame

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is a “no” on the tax reform bill.

“I will be voting no on the final legislation and will continue to work hard to ensure that hard working families and small businesses have their priorities represented in Congress,” Stefanik said Monday in a statement.

The lawmaker chalked up her opposition to a lack of protection for the state and local tax deduction known as SALT, the same reason she voted against the House version of the bill in November.

House Republicans released their final bill last week, and it is scheduled to be considered Tuesday. » Tax reform Cont. on pg. 5

to all of our loyal customers. Thank you for your continued support!

Come to the Experts at

TUPPER LAKE | Numerous priority projects in Tri-Lakes counties found key funding support in awards through the North Country Regional Economic Development Council (REDC).

The Adirondack Public Observatory and Astro-Science Center project in Tupper Lake won $200,000.

The grass-roots, non-profit, star-gazing community, which has drawn international acclaim, has expansion plans at their dark hillside site off Little Wolf Road.

President of the APO board Carol Levy

said they were thrilled to be included among REDC priority funding winners.

The funds have been flagged for architectural blueprints and engineering schematics for the Astro-Science Center.

“This will get us actual blueprints so that we will be shovel-ready for construction,” Levy said. “Our project overall is a three building project. The Astro-Science Center, which we are working on now, is a science museum. The third building will house a research grade telescope and will need a building with a domed roof. That will house a 24-inch research grade telescope.”

The total cost of the Astro-Science Center will be around $10 million to $12 million, Levy said.

But blueprints and schematics will move the project into actual construction phase for development. Naming opportunities, APO membership options and donations are available and can be found on the organization’s website: adirondackpublicobservatory.org.

The Village of Tupper Lake was also awarded $1.4 million in this round of REDC funding. » REDC Cont. on pg. 3

County, NCCC continue to look at EMT program Course of study could lead to future jobs

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors heard more about efforts to bring an EMT degree program to North Country Community College during its Dec. 5 monthly board meeting.

County EMS Coordinator Patty Bashaw said EMT training is currently done through Mountain Lakes Services with a class scheduled to begin inJanuary at NCCC to see if there is interest.

“There are already 14 students enrolled, and the instructors like to have classes between 12 and 15 students,” Bashaw said.

Bashaw said it would take as many as two years to get a degree program approved, adding there are facilities ready to help sponsor the EMT training program.

“Elizabethtown is looking to help sponsor the course,” Bashaw said. “It could be a program which would be taught in Elizabethtown and then beamed out to other counties. That could be huge for many counties because, as of now, the closest program is in the Hudson Valley.

So, for NCCC to enter into a relationship with Mountain Lakes is huge.”

Supervisors said they hope progress continues to move forward.

“I think what we have heard here today is good news,” said Newcomb Supervisor Wes Miga. “I think it’s also good news that this program could be done in a way to get other communities involved in it.”

“I am excited because we are definitely going forward,” Bashaw said.

Dr. Steven Tyrell, president of NCCC, also expressed his excitement for the program.

“I am very much looking forward to see where this program will go for us and for Essex County,” Tyrell said. “We are looking at the demand for a course and cost to determine what is the best course plan to offer. I am pleased this will be a coordinated effort

Tyrell also said there could be a parallel between the proposed EMT and current nursing program at the school.

Crown Point’s Charles Harrington said he likes the idea of the program and feels it will be a strong sell to local students.

“Focusing on the school college nights and BOCES is a good step because that is

Photos from Dew Drop Inn renovations this fall include a look from across the Saranac River at new construction of what will become short-term lodging space and the view from the third floor of the new addition, Photo by Calli Shelton The Saranac Lake Local Development Corp., formed several years ago by the Village of Saranac Lake for revitalization efforts, also won $300,000 to assist with Dew Drop Inn renovations at 27 Broadway.

Mayor Rabideau said the local development corporation was and is a major factor in the Downtown facade facelift program.

SLLDC Chairman Paul Van Cott, who is a village trustee, said they were thrilled to win $300,000 in New York Main Street monies.

“The restored restaurant will also feature the Saranac Lake River Walk along the side of the building onto Broadway,” Van Cott told The Sun. “This continues the downtown revitalization occurring already as a result of the $300,000 Main Street grant awarded to the Village in 2015 and the upcoming reopening of Saranac Lake’s gem, the Hotel Saranac.”

The Hotel Saranac won a $5 million REDC grant in 2014 and restoration of the downtown hotel is nearing completion.

In other grant wins, the Village of Saranac Lake was awarded $100,00 for an engineering report for the municipal wastewater treatment plant.

Bionique Testing Laboratories on Fay Brook Dr. in Saranac Lake was awarded $300,000 to upgrade existing bio-testing equipment.

BluSeed Studios in Saranac Lake won an workforce expansion grant for $35,500 to hire an events and outreach coordinator for the ArtWorks merger.

And Carpae Insectae, a local start-up small business that invented and makes No Bugz, a chemical-free insect repellant (also for pets), won $13,000 for new equipment used in their manufacturing process. ■

It will be used for installing a wood pellet fired municipal heating system.

Business and infrastructure in Saranac Lake won more than a handful of grants.

Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau pointed to the downtown restoration ongoing at the Dew Drop Inn as “especially blessed,” saying the project is “enhancing the renaissance of our downtown which was ignited by the Hotel Saranac renovation.”

Dew Drop property owners, doing business as Chicota, Inc., won two grants: $198,000 to establish a restaurant, bar, short-stay apartments and an event space in the iconic property on Broadway.

Chicota also won $148,000 for capital project expenses at the property.

Dew Drop Inn co-owner Calli Shelton told The Sun that state economic development support breaks a log-jam in their progress.

New construction through summer and fall has rebuilt two stories for lodging at the back of the inn and the company has gutted and is renovating the restaurant and bar in front.

“The grant money is awesome. It’s not going to pay for the whole project, which is $2.2 million,” Shelton said.

“We have stopped work over the last two weeks, because we’re at that point. The state grants will allow us to work with lenders.”

Shelton and her partners’ vision rebuilds Dew Drop Inn as one entity with four integrated lines of business that all work together.

Once you see the branding we’ve chosen, it will all make sense,” she said.

“There will be the restaurant and bar; lodging and two apartments on the upper floors with short-term vacation rentals; event space for gatherings and celebrations; and a cooking school, the final piece. We hope to complete the apartments this winter, and then get the lower floor done by late 2018 to launch the restaurant in the fall.”

Shelton said Saranac Lake’s downtown revitalization has turned the village into a hub of activity.

“This place is booming,” she said.

Westport Central students get up close look at working horses Reber Rock Farm helps work on lean-to area

Central School spent the day working the oldschool way on pulling rocks around the grounds.

Students were able to work with draft horses, bringing in several large rocks out of a wooded area to help create seating around the fire pit area of the school’s lean-to area, which was created through science classes taught by Jason Fiegl.

would make great places to sit around the fire place,” he said.

The members of the environmental science class first used railing and PVC piping to move a rock 130 feet from the trees to the lean-to by hand.

“We then thought about other ways to move the rocks and came up with the draft horses,” Fiegl said.

The teacher contacted Chad Vogel, who does natural horse drawn logging through Reber Rock Farm and has already worked with Fiegl on the project. For this project, he employed the help of draft horses Reed and Connie.

“He helped us with the logs for the leanto,” Fiegl said. “He has been a great help with this project.” ■

Inaugural Adirondack Snowshoe Fest lands in Saranac Lake

Village hopes to bolster local tourism with two-day snowshoeing event

SARANAC LAKE | One year after hosting the 2017 World Snowshoe Championships, the Village of Saranac Lake will leverage this international experience to host a new snowshoe weekend called the Adirondack Snowshoe Fest on Feb. 24 and 25, 2018.

“Through hard work and extraordinary volunteerism, Saranac Lake became highly regarded in the snowshoe community, and now we want to leverage our brand to » Tax reform Cont. from pg. 1 The bill largely finds middle ground with the versions previously passed by the House and Senate.

The $1.5 trillion tax plan, the first overhaul in 30 years, provides deep tax cuts for businesses and corporations, temporary lower marginal tax rates for middle-class taxpayers and expansion of child tax credits.

SALT deductions would be capped at $10,000 annually, and the deduction for interest on mortgage debt for recent homebuyers will be reduced from $1 million to $750,000.

ALBANY TO BLAME

Stefanik outlined her concerns last week in a letter to a bicameral committee, and endorsed a plan she said would address several problem areas in addition to SALT, including provisions to lower the corporate and pass-through rates, retaining the medical expense and student loan interest deduction and “substantially reducing” the impact of tax reform on the deficit.

Much of those provisions have been restored in the final bill.

The letter also underscored concerns that the House and Senate plans would negatively impact states like New York that send more revenue to the federal government than they receive.

boost local tourism,” said Village Mayor Clyde Rabideau.

The 2017 WSSF World Snowshoe Championships, which attracted more than 400 competitors from over 15 nations, came close to being canceled due to a winter thaw that melted away many inches of snow leaving only bare ground.

Notwithstanding, the region and community came together the day before, trucking hundreds of loads of snow from outlying areas to the Dewey Mountain Ski Center, which was then hauled up-mountain by sleds and spread upon the race course by scores of volunteers responding literally overnight by word-of-mouth and social media.

Rabideau called the effort “one of Saranac Lake’s great moments

That number is some $48 billion, according to the governor’s office.

But Stefanik also said the state shares some of the blame for the high property tax burden.

“Due to Albany’s failed leadership and inability to rein in spending, New York is one of the highest taxed states in the country, and families here rely on this important deduction to make ends meet,” Stefanik said.

“Failure to maintain SALT could lead to more families leaving our region.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo fired back on Monday when asked about her statement by a Times Union reporter.

“Her problem are the facts,” he said in a conference call with reporters. “If she has a problem with spending, she can’t be looking to the state budget, which has had the lowest increases in recorded budget history.”

SALT repeal would hurt the state’s job growth and put New York at a “structural disadvantage” when competing with other states for jobs and businesses, Cuomo has said.

Some 725,000 homeowners in the state pay more than $10,000, according to materials provided by his office, and capping the deduction would increase their property tax bills by an average of $2,750.

The Empire Center, a fiscally conservative think tank, said last week repealing

and a testament to our unconquerable community spirit.”

Adirondack Snowshoe Fest organizers are putting together a two-day weekend event package which will entice many participants to stay overnight and feature a series of races for all skill levels plus entertainment options.

Included in the mix will be the second annual Shoe-BeDoo, a 5K fun walk or run for families and individuals.

The name of the Facebook page for the World Snowshoe Championships was recently changed to “Adirondack Snowshoe Fest” and can be easily found at facebook.com/adirondacksnowshoefest.

For more information, visit saranaclake.com/events/adirondack-snowshoe-fest. ■

SALT would increase the net tax price for the state’s highest earners.

As a result, the value of higher-priced, higher-taxed homes in New York City-area suburbs would be depressed.

“This impact will occur regardless of how the tax plan affects individual homeowners,” wrote Policy Director E.J. McMahon.

“The enactment of an optional property tax deduction capped at $10,000, as proposed in the Senate bill, also will do little to offset the likely reduction in values, because the impact of cap will vary considerably among taxpayers based on family size, the age of the primary filer and the type of income reported.”

Cuomo said if the bill went through, he’d propose making the state’s shared service panels, which were introduced earlier this year, mandatory and would tie them to some $125 million in state aid.

And passage would mean property taxes in the state would effectively rise.

“It will effectively raise the state’s income tax 20 percent, and effectively raise property tax 20 percent defending on the individual’s bracket,” he said.

Later, he added, “Our state code is in many places linked to the federal code. So when they change the federal code, it automatically changes the state code.”

But he didn’t specify precisely how taxes would rise in the Empire State.

Cuomo called for Stefanik to work with local government officials to reduce property taxes.

“She should look in her own backyard,” Cuomo said. “Tell her to get our $48 billion back.”

Five members of the state’s Republican delegation have announced their plans to vote against the bill.

A Monmouth Poll released Monday revealed voters nationwide disapproved of the plan 47 to 26 percent.

When informed by a reporter of the poll, the governor said even the GOP members who voted against the bill wouldn’t escape an eventual reckoning at the voting booth.

“I don’t think these individual votes are going to give people a pass,” he said. “I think there’s going to be a real political comeuppance.”

The governor appeared to admit passage was inevitable.

But, he said, Democrats should utilize all means possible to block the effort — even if it means shutting down the government.

“To lay down in the halls of Congress and refuse to move would be justified,” he said.

If signed into law, the IRS said taxpayers could begin seeing less money withheld from their paychecks “as early as February,” according to the Associated Press. ■

Thoughts from behind the pressline

Sharing the holiday This is the time of year when we think about others, putting a smile on the faces of those we love and

By Dan Alexander even those we hardly • PUBLISHER • know. Many feel an even deeper joy when they can bring a smile to a perfect stranger.

The celebration of Hanukkah and Christmas is all about hope, faith, and love. It’s a time for giving and receiving, a time for friends and family and it’s a time to remember the true meaning of the season of light and how the birth of a child changed our world forever.

In a world as mixed up as ours gets from time to time, where would we be without light and hope?

This time of year when the darkness invades our lives here in the northeast even the simple twinkle of holiday lights is enough to lift our spirits. Those lights pale in comparison to the true light of life we earnestly seek.

We would all like to have a storybook holiday season, and while each of us does our best to try and bring the right attitude into the holidays, we know that for many a holiday is just another day, devoid of light and hope.

Perhaps it’s the loss of a loved one, an illness or an addiction that keeps them from experiencing the joys of this season. It’s all the more reason we need to reach out to others during this time, helping them to experience the joy that is meant to shared.

It’s amazing what a little hope, faith, and love can do in your life and those you reach out to if you are willing to share with someone less fortunate.

Let’s face it, with all of our Holiday preparations and trappings we’ve developed over the years, at the end of the day wouldn’t you rather trade off a few of those tasks for a more perfect world filled with respect, sharing, light, hope, and true peace for all?

On behalf of The Sun Community News family, I would like to wish you and yours a very joyous holiday, a prosperous New Year and hope all your holiday wishes come true. God bless us, one and all.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and best wishes in the coming New Year. ■

Opinion

From the Editorial Board

Net neutrality repeal will hurt North Country The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed net neutrality laws last week, a measure that will undoubtedly change the way people across the U.S. interact with the internet — especially here in the remote North Country.

The rollback arrives at a time when so many communities are making headway in receiving high-speed broadband for the first time as part of sweeping state initiative.

Trashing the Obama-era internet restrictions, despite widespread public opposition, will allow heavyweight broadband providers like Verizon, AT&T, Spectrum and Comcast to block or throttle content, essentially providing fast and slow lanes in a form of tiered service.

We join open internet advocates in fearing this could lead to segregation of the internet.

Imagine paying a premium for Netflix or Amazon on top of your average monthly fee, just like the cable packages Americans are increasingly fleeing from in droves.

Or a provider blocking content to websites or smartphone apps they find disagreeable or politically unpalatable.

Facebook, Google and Netflix have all

sounded off against the measure.

Advocates claim the restrictions have stifled innovation, and the rollback will lead to companies reaching new heights.

Providers also claim they have no plan to stifle or block lawful contact.

But their promises are tough to swallow considering as many as 2 million fake identities were used to falsely issue pro-FCC comments during the public hearing process, according to the state attorney general’s office.

They include the names of the dead, something straight from the pages of Tammany Hall, the political machine that controlled New York City in the mid-nineteenth century through all sorts of dirty and nefarious tricks.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said the fake comments have corrupted the public hearing process, and we agree.

But this new landscape could also prove to be disastrous — especially here in the North Country, where broadband is already sketchy, with many communities at the mercy of a single provider (which in many cases, provides subpar service).

Thankfully the deal isn’t set in stone, and the FCC must now enter the new rules into

the federal register.

All three of the North Country’s federal lawmakers have criticized the measure.

They are correct in doing so, considering how much an open internet lends itself to the future success of our global economy.

U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) has called the rollback “shameful” and an “attack on free speech” and introduced a resolution to reverse the FCC decision.

U.S. Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he would force a vote.

And Schneiderman, the attorney general, announced he would join a coalition of states in a lawsuit in an attempt to block the changes.

While Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) has stopped short of calling for a lawsuit or a vote to reverse the decision, she is pushing for congressional hearings to ensure an open internet.

The FCC has claimed the move is about openness and unleashing entrepreneurial spirit.

If this is the case, we hope Stefanik will fight tooth-and-nail to ensure these principles are met, and the North Country doesn’t end up a loser in what’s sure to be a long and contentious battle. ■ -The Sun Editorial Board

Cuomo proposes tightening gun ownership laws for domestic abusers

Law would extend ban on guns to those accused of domestic crimes

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ALBANY | Gov. Andrew Cuomo is proposing to take away guns from anyone charged with domestic abuse.

Under the proposed legislation, which the governor will formally roll out at next month’s State of the State address, anyone charged with domestic violence crimes will immediately be forced to relinquish their firearms.

“This year will be remembered as the year of reckoning, when both the tragedy of mass shootings and cultural and institutional harassment of women became impossible to ignore,” said Cuomo in a statement.

The proposed legislation would strengthen the role of judges in reducing access to firearms.

At present, judges issue orders of protection in domestic violence cases after an individual is arrest-

ed, but before they are convicted.

Orders of protection include the suspension of firearm licenses. But the orders are issued at the judges’ discretion and may not occur in every domestic violence case.

Under the legislation, judges would be required to mandate the surrender of all firearms — hand guns and long guns alike — and suspend any firearm license until the case is resolved.

If convicted, even of a misdemeanor, offenders would lose their firearm permanently.

Cuomo said the legislation is designed to prevent additional tragedies, citing statistics linking domestic abuse to gun violence.

“In nine of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in United States history, including Las Vegas and Sutherland Springs, the shooter had an existing record of committing violence against women, threatening violence against women, or harassing or disparaging women,” his office said in a statement.

When an abusive partner is permitted to access firearms, the risk that the other partner will be killed increased fivefold.

required to be surrendered upon felony domestic violence convictions.

Cuomo said last week in a conference call with reporters that the state law would close existing loopholes.

“We believe there’s a loophole in the law we want to close, not just a felony, but a misdemeanor,” he told reporters. “Our proposal would be no guns for any conviction, misdemeanor or felony.”

Long guns would also be included in the suspension or revocation of a firearm license following a felony or “serious” offense charge or conviction.

New York has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, including the SAFE Act, which was passed in 2013 in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting in Connecticut.

The proposal builds on legislation previously advanced by state Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (DScarsdale), state Senator Diane Savino (D-Staten Island) and other state lawmakers.

The law would also require rifles and shotguns to be surrendered to authorities after a mental health disqualification by a health professional.

SCOPE AGAINST

The Shooters Committee on Political Education has been a vocal critic of the SAFE Act, legislation they say is unconstitutional, overreaching and does little to address the root causes of gun violence.

The chairman of the organization’s Genesee County chapter has criticized the latest proposal.

Domestic violence is a societal problem, Bill Cox Sr. told the Daily News, a western New York newspaper.

“Why don’t we get to the root of the problem?” Cox said. “Why don’t we teach our children how to handle themselves so this doesn’t happen? I personally feel that would help with the problem. We’ve gone away from that in our society.”

The newspaper reported Fox as saying if the proposal becomes law, those merely accused of domestic violence will have their firearms taken away before they’re convicted.

“That’s not the way our system’s set up,” he said. “With firearms, it seems like it’s gone to the other side, where you’re automatically guilty. With this, there is no court, there is no nothing, you don’t have the right to trial.” ■ or omissions or typographic errors. All reasonable care is taken to prevent such errors.

Essex County moves on tax sale grievances Two owners have property returned, one sale upheld

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | A week after a trio of landowners expressed concern over the Nov. 29 tax sale held by Essex County, members of the Board of Supervisors held a special meeting Dec. 11 to address the matter.

While the board did agree to rescind one sale and return the property to the previous owner on receipt of back taxes and penalties, while returning another to it’s previous owner on similar payment, the board did not rescind a property sale between inhabitants of a Port Henry parcel how are not legally connected.

“We’re in a conundrum here,” Moriah supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “The person who bid has lived at the property for the past three-plus years. Since that there has been nothing paid. I understand the property is not in her name legally, which does allow her to bid, but she has been living there with the property owner.”

Scozzafava added the county does not have anything in the rules that address domestic partners and there is no » Farmers Cont. from pg. 1

Lawmaker has voted against an amendment that would make farmers eligible for loan forgiveness

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WHALLONSBURG | A gulf has emerged between Rep. Elise Stefanik and the young farmers revitalizing farms across the Champlain Valley, including in her adopted hometown of Willsboro.

A group called the Adirondack Farmers Coalition (AFC) is criticizing the lawmaker after she voted against an amendment to the PROSPER Act, a bill to reform federal higher education programs, that would have made farmers and veteran service organizations eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

The House Education and Workforce Committee marked up the legislation on Dec. 12, and the amendment to address student loan debt for farmers was defeated 20-19.

Stefanik voted no.

Ahead of the vote, dozens of local farmers said they lobbied the lawmaker in an effort to convince her to support the measure, calling her office and reaching out on social media.

“I took time out from my day yesterday to call Stefanik’s office in Washington,” said Dillon Klepetar, owner of Echo Farm, in a statement.

Klepetar said local farmers have testified in support of loan forgiveness in the past, and have asked Stefanik directly to co-sponsor similar bills.

“This was a huge opportunity to help a key sector of the North Country economy, and she apparently ignored us,” Klepetar said.

The amendment was based on the Young Farmer Success Act, a bipartisan bill introduced by U.S. Reps. Joe Courtney (D-CT), Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson (R-PA) and John Faso (R-NY) earlier this year.

The average age of American farmers is approaching 60 years old, according to the AFC, a shift that is expected to lead to a mass transfer of nearly100 million acres of farmland.

As such, recruiting and supporting the next generation of farmers is an urgent national need, says the AFC. But the financial landscape for the capital intensive field is tough, and profit margins are often small, say young farmers, making student loan forgiveness critical to grow the industry.

A recent survey by the National Young Farmers Coalition reveals student loan debt is a leading challenge facing young farmers, many of whom view farming as a public service.

The survey collected data from 3,517 current, former and aspiring U.S. farmers under the age of 40.

Land access topped the list of challenges, and the organization cited particularly finding and affording land on a farm income as main

common law in New York state.

“I have been told by the attorney (Dan Manning) that legally we cannot deny this sale, but we need to address a situation like this in the future,” Scozzafava said. “What has ended up happening is they ended up paying $9,000 for the property when there were $19,000 due. So, effectively, they got off the hook for $10,000.”

“I know it’s not right but we have nothing to go on,” Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said. “It’s better to get half of it.”

Marnell, Noel Merrihew (Elizabethtown), Joe Pete Wilson (Keene) and Shaun Gillilland (Willsboro) voted in favor of rescinding the sale, but the motion was defeated and the sale upheld.

Scozzafava said afterwards he intended to vote in favor of the resolution, but mistakenly cast his the vote the opposite way.

PROPERTY RETURNED

For Kristen Wilson, the sale of her mother’s home was rescinded and property returned to her on the payment of back taxes and fees, which occurred because family members were not getting her the proper information due to mental health reasons.

“Although the all the legal requirements were properly done, this case was a perfect storm because there was no notice given to the person to pay those taxes,” Manning said. “In my opinion at least, this is what should be done.”

Wilson said she was appreciative to the board.

reason why farmers quit farming and why aspiring farmers haven’t yet started.

“We understand politics, but this isn’t a partisan issue,” said Margot Brooks of Sugar House Creamery in Upper Jay, in a statement. “Multiple Republicans voted for this amendment.

With Rep. Stefanik’s no-vote, we fell short.

She’s the youngest member of Congress. If any representative should understand the impact that student loan debt has on our entire generation of small business owners, it’s her.”

‘FARMING IS A BUSINESS’

Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland, a close Stefanik ally and cattle farmer, said he understands student loan debt can be crushing, citing the experiences of his own children.

But at the same time, farmers have free will and aren’t forced to go into “niche farming.”

“As a taxpayer, farming is a business,” Gillilland told The Sun. “Nobody forced these people to take out college loans. Is really what they’re doing critical to national economic security? I don’t think the taxpayers want to pay the college debts of these kids who want to go into farming.”

A spokesman for Stefanik said the purpose of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program is to attract more individuals to government service and non-profits.

“While Congresswoman Stefanik opposed this amendment in Committee, she will continue to advocate strongly on behalf of North Country farmers as she has on labor issues, production issues and as Congress begins writing the upcoming Farm Bill,” Tom Flanagin told The Sun in an email.

“Congresswoman Stefanik is a strong advocate for our North Country farmers and is a leader in Congress on issues facing the millennial generation.”

In remarks at the committee hearing, Stefanik admitted college graduates face a tough job climate despite the improving economy.

“Our national situation looks grim,” she said.

But there is a need for technical jobs that are going unfilled due to the lack of skilled workers, she said.

The PROSPER Act contains numerous reforms to address higher education affordability, including measures to strengthen the Pell grant system by maintaining year-round access.

Fifty-two percent of students in New York’s 21st Congressional District attending public institutions are offered the grants, she said.

“This has been a priority item of mine since arriving in Congress and it will ensure students have needed flexibility to access affordable education,” Stefanik said at the hearing.

“Furthermore, students taking advantage of flexible Pell to achieve 30 credits per year will be eligible for an additional $300 Pell bonus.”

Stefanik said this legislation has the best interest of consumers in mind because it eliminates origination fees on federal student loans, ensuring students are receiving more of the money they borrow.

The second-term lawmaker also defended

“Honest mistakes were made and I hope you will understand my situation,” she said. “I hope to never have to tell my mother about this situation because of mental health issues. I had no knowledge the taxes were not paid or that the property was up for sale by the county. I am happy to pay the taxes and any other fees that relate to this matter.”

The board also voted to return property to Christopher Grant of North Elba, a property which had already been taken off the auction block but was in the process of being transferred to the town of North Elba.

“He has a significant investment in this property and is sorry for some of his missteps in the past,” said his lawyer James Maswick. “He has the checks with him here and will make payment as soon as you are adjourned.”

Lewis Supervisor Jim Monty wanted to make sure the situation did not return to the board.

“There is going to be an expectation that we are not looking at the same situation two years down the road,” he asked.

“Not at all,” Maswick said. “One of the terms of his proposal is the hiring of a property manager to help him stay away from the previous issues.”

Both resolutions were passed by the board, with North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi abstaining and Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston excused. ■

CHECKERS, a German Shep-

State previews Frontier Town project at open house Optimism abounds as state agencies pull back curtain on highly anticipated project

designers took care to avoid impacts to wetlands.

Acreage north of the campsite — including the remnants of the former theme park — is slated to be the future site of private investment. Empire State Development (ESD) is continuing to weigh proposals and anticipates making a decision early next year.

Paradox Brewery has already confirmed a $4 million expansion project, made possible in part with loans and financing from ESD, that will serve as anchor for future investment.

NUMEROUS ATTRACTIONS

The parcel is nestled south of the former theme park between the Schroon River and state Route 9 on land owned

by North Hudson and Essex County that will be operated under a conservation easement with the state.

Merry Christmas

Designs for the state-run facility call for 33 equestrian camping sites, 13 spaces for recreational vehicles and 45 tent camping sites constructed on a 91-acre parcel owned

by Essex County and North Hudson.

A day use area will be situated on the northern end of the teardrop-shaped parcel, with equestrian space in the center, and recreational vehicle and tent areas to the far south curving along the Schroon River.

Plans were drafted in conjunction with the state Office of General Services to complement the site’s topography, and

Merry Christmas from all of us!

State officials quickly breezed through the plans before breaking into small group sessions with attendees.

After two decades of inactivity at the site, located off Exit 29 of the Adirondack Northway, public interest appears to burning bright.

About two dozen people attended the evening session at the North Hudson Town Hall.

Local officials put attendance at an earlier afternoon session at about 30.

Doreen Ossenkop, who owns the Adirondack Buffalo Company with her husband, Steve, hoped the facility would spur economic growth in the tiny community, most of which is constituted by state Forest Preserve.

“I hope it will increase business for everyone in town, not just us,” said Ossenkop said. “We’re hoping this will stimulate things to get it going.”

Muhammad Ahmad co-owns a gas station located across from the hulking building known locally as the A-Frame.

“I definitely think it will help,” Ahmad said. “It’s a long winter up here.”

State officials have branded the Gateway to the Adirondacks in North Hudson not only as a way to strengthen the regional economy, but also to broaden access to recreational offerings and steer visitors into less-trafficked regions of the Adirondack Park.

NORTH HUDSON | The public got their first look at the Gateway to the Adirondacks in North Hudson project on Dec. 11 when state agencies held an open house-type event to showcase early blueprints for the facility.

Plans released earlier this month by the state Department of Environmental Conservation call for 91 campsites as part of a state-run campground, day use area and equestrian facility.

Laura DiBetta, special assistant to the DEC commissioner for outdoor recreation, said the 91-acre facility was designed with three main concepts in mind: Accessibility, protection of natural resources and preservation of the former Frontier Town aesthetic.

Celebrating the former wild west theme park’s look and feel is important to the community, she said, citing discussions with residents who continue to recall fond memories of the attraction, which closed in 1998.

“The (DEC) commissioner loves that nostalgia and history,” DiBetta said.

The C.T. Male Associates-designed plans contain a nod to the parcel’s past life with a welcome gate designed to resemble a fort stockade, constructed from logs and containing Frontier Town iconography.

Cuomo signs FOIL bill Judges now required to award legal fees to winners in Freedom of Information Law lawsuits

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ALBANY | The governor has signed a bill making it easier for members of the public suing for access to public records to recover their legal fees.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the measure, which was supported statewide by newspaper boards and good government groups, on Wednesday.

He previously vetoed the bill in 2015, citing a lack of clarity as to how to define the concept of a “material violation,” which would have sowed confusion for judges trying to interpret the law.

The new law, which takes effect immedi-

ately, means judges can award attorney fees to plaintiffs who sue after being wrongly denied access to public documents.

But Cuomo said any reform to the state’s Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) must also apply to the state legislature, and that he will again advance comprehensive FOIL reform in the next legislative session that applies equally to both branches of government.

“The bill before me continues to perpetuate a fractured and inequitable system of transparency by only applying to the executive, and intentionally excluding other branches of government,” Cuomo wrote in a memo.

“Notably, current law already provides courts with discretion to award attorney’s fees in such situations, but they are not required to do so.

“Transparency should be embraced by all,” he said.

The Empire Center, a fiscally conservative think tank, praised the measure as “huge win” for government transparency.

“While the governor hasn’t always lived up to his promise to run ‘the most transparent administration in history,’ it is worth noting that the administration has made strides in

» Frontier Town Cont. from pg. 8 ticipated recreation destination, is located just eight miles away.

Ed Garrigan, president and chief information officer of C.T. Male Associates, said his firm designed the equestrian areas using Otter Creek State Forest as a model, building on what worked at the site in Lewis County.

The horse campsite pads will have electrical hookups, hibachi-style grills and water spigots within 250 feet of each campsite.

And the site will try to maintain existing trails and construct new ones, including to and from Paradox Brewery.

“We think that’s a good feature for a campground,” Garrigan said.

The parcel also contains options for snowmobile trails

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, pictured here in Albany on Dec. 13, has signed a law strengthening the state’s Freedom of Information Law. Photo provided/Office of the Governor posting data online, including through the DataNY portal,” said the group in a statement.

“Combined with Comptroller DiNapoli’s valuable OpenBookNY database, Attorney General Schneiderman’s NYOpenGovernment and NYC’s Open data site, government transparency in New York has come a long way.”

The Empire Center runs a database,

that would link to the east side of Route 9, but the exact details have not yet been determined, said DEC officials.

Several horseback riders came as far as Albany to attend the afternoon session, said local officials.

Minerva Supervisor Steve McNally said horseback riders have been increasingly visiting his town as a result of recent investments, and hopes equestrian culture will begin to spread in the central Adirondack region known as the Five Towns.

“Horseback riding is huge, but not in the Adirondack Park,” said McNally, citing downstate attractions.

The DEC, said a spokesman, has not conducted any economic impact studies of the project.

“However, the equestrian trail riders have expressed their strong support for a facility fashioned after DEC’s Otter Creek

'Serra ,

Equestrian Area to be located at the Exit 29 site in North Hudson,” said a spokesman. “Experience at Otter Creek demonstrates that trail riders from across the state and northeast region of the U.S. seek this unique experience.”

DEC staff said they were pleased with the turnout.

“We’ve heard a tremendous amount of excitement and support for this concept,” said Karyn B. Richards, special assistant to the DEC commissioner and forest preserve coordinator. “People are thrilled that DEC is willing to make this investment in North Hudson and excited to hear that it’s going to be in place very soon.”

Funds for the $13 million project were allocated in this year’s state budget, and construction is scheduled to begin in Feb. 2018.

The DEC aims to have the trails and day use areas open next fall, and the campgrounds fully operational by summer 2019. ■

After Cuomo signed the bill, the group promptly filed a lawsuit challenging previous FOIL denials by a school district on Long Island, citing their failure to comply with their requests for information. ■

Former Essex Supervisor passes “Bill” Drummond dies at 87

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ESSEX | Former Essex Supervisor Fredrick William “Bill” Drummond, who many in the Elizabethtown area also remember as the man who gave them their first haircut, passed away Monday, Dec. 11, at his home in Essex.

Drummond was the Essex town supervisor and member of the Essex County Board of Supervisors from 1995 to 2001.

“He helped me a lot during the transition between our time in office,” said Essex Supervisor-elect Ron Jackson, who was Drummond’s successor in 1996. “He was a very friendly man who liked to help people — always trying to help people whenever he could.”

Essex Supervisor Ed Gardner spoke on the loss at the Dec. 18 committee meetings.

“He was always in good spirits and was a capable leader,” Gardner said. “He was a genuine good guy who cared about the community.”

Drummond graduated from Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School in 1948, joining the Marine Corps.

When he returned to the North Country, Drummond worked as a barber for 40 years,

working at Ernie’s Barber Shop in Elizabethtown, Camp Dudley and the Au Sable Club.

Along with serving as town supervisor, Drummond was also a town assessor for 16 years.

According to his obituary, Drummond was an accomplished pilot with his own plane. He was a member of Adirondack Lodge #602 F&AM and the American Legion Post 1319 in Lewis. He and his wife, Grace, refurbished the Essex Inn before building a home in Essex.

A memorial mass was held Saturday, Dec. 16, with burial in the Lewis Cemetery.

Donations in Bill’s memory may be made to North Country SPCA or Church of the Good Shepherd in Elizabethtown. ■

IRS scam making rounds in North Country Sophisticated phone scam continues to target local residents

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | The woman’s voice was pleasant, but her tone was threatening.

And it ended in a cloud of static screeching.

“We received a threatening call saying the IRS is suing us and action will be taken soon if I don’t call this number back,” a tipster told The Sun. The reader and her neighbor were rattled after they received the identical calls last week from a “202” area code.

But the call was bogus, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which initiates most contacts through regular mail delivered by the U.S. Postal Service.

The Westport resident reported the issue to the district attorney and the state Attorney General’s office.

While there are special circumstances in which the IRS will call or visit a home or business — namely to follow up on delinquent tax payments — taxpayers will generally first

receive several notices through the mail.

The agency does not “call to demand immediate payment using a specific payment method such as a prepaid debit card, gift card or wire transfer,” according to their website.

The agency is prohibited from threatening to bring in law enforcement officials to have people arrested for not paying, and cannot demand residents pay taxes without the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they claim is owed.

The so-called IRS scam in which a caller poses as a government official demanding payment for unpaid taxes and threatening consumers with arrest if they do not pay up remains pervasive across the state, according to the attorney general’s office.

“These scammers often use fake government logos in their email and caller ID spoofing so that the victim’s caller ID box says ‘Internal Revenue Service’ or displays the phone number of the Internal Revenue Service,” the agency said in a statement issued in March.

“The IRS will never demand immediate payment or payment information over the phone.”

It is estimated that consumers lose $40 billion a year through telemarketing fraud, according to the attorney general.

Readers are asked by the attorney general’s office to never engage this type of caller or provide any personal information.

BUY-SELL-TRADE

Calls suspected of being fraudulent should be reported to 1-800-771-7755.

“We also know that for every complaint received, there are many other instances in which New Yorkers fall victim to these practices but do not realize that they have been targeted or that they should file a complaint,” said state Assemblyman Brian Kavanagh, who chairs the Assembly’s Consumer Affairs and Protection Committee, in a statement. ■

Athletes named to all star volleyball, XC teams

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Eight local volleyball players and 19 cross country athletes have been named to their respective all star teams for the 2017 fall season.

In volleyball, Sydney Andronica of Saranac Lake and Graci Daby of Lake Placid were named to the first team for CVAC, while Marissa Gibbs of Saranac Lake and Leah Shay of AuSable Valley were named to the second team. Taylor Mattilla (AVCS), Laurel Miller (LPCS), Marissa Gibbs (SLCS) and Katie Gay (SLCS) were named honorable mention candidates.

“Leah was an all-around player on the court, was great in getting low to get under and make the pass from the back row, and could also make the hard kill from the outside,” said AuSable coach Peggy McCallister.

In cross country, Scotty Schulz of Lake Placid was named the NYSPHSAA Sportsmanship Award winner in Class D as well as a CVAC all star. He was joined by teammates James Flanigan and Jesse Izzo, while Saranac Lake had Section VII champion Anderson Gray, Tyler Martin, Micah McCulley and Adam Hesseltine (H.M.) named to the all star list.

The Red Storm were also honored with the coach of the year award, which went to Bill Peer.

Spencer Daby and Matthew Russom were named all stars from AuSable Valley, while Denali Garnica and Logan VanBuren were named honorable mention from Moriah/Westport.

AuSable Valley’s Lily Pothast led the local contingent of all star CVAC girl’s in cross country, joined by Lake Placid’s Marli Damp, Annie Rose-McCandish and Sarah Rose-McCandish (H.M.), while Saranac Lake received all star nods for Evelyn Eller and Madison Grimone. ■
