ALTONA — A lonely stretch of pot-holed road has become a garbage-filled forest, and the town board is looking to catch the trash-tossers with a surveillance system.

An uninhabited length of Brunell Road, between Miner Farm Road and the Military Turnpike, is strewn with all manner of garbage. Old luggage and broken VHS tapes swim in pools of snowmelt. A soggy mattress rots next to a stark white deer skeleton. Plastic trash bags are broken on the gravel, spilling junk into the roadside brush.

Town Councilman Joey Snide said the most dumping seems to happen on the weekends, especially early Saturday mornings. It’s hard to catch someone in the act, but if they’re coming in and out of there with a pickup, suspicions are high for illegal dumping.

Town Supervisor Larry Ross said the emptiness of the road is why it’s so abused by dumpers. Getting cameras out there would hopefully deter people from dumping at all, and maybe catch

that untended stretch of Brunell Road — near a well-traveled highway but largely dark and uninhabited. Spots in Saranac, Mooers and Ellenburg are known dumping spots, too. Those conditions give the dumpers plenty of time to make sure they’re alone. If they dump in the darker hours, they’ll see the headlights of an approaching car long before they’re spotted breaking the law.

Most charges are a violation of Clinton County local law. First offenses for that can reach $500 and 15 days in jail. Offenders caught twice in a year can be charged with a misdemeanor, $1,000 in fines and six months in jail. Added to the fines are fees avoided at the landfill by dumping and the cleanup costs of the highway department.

The sheriff ’s department had 178 complaints for illegal dumping from January 2011 to March 2012. Risetto said that despite the difficulty of catching someone in the act, they close those cases with charges more than 60 percent of the time.

The officers often find that the dumping is done by locals, often people moving who want to get rid of junk and don’t want to pay to do it.

Movie event focuses on dangers of bullying stephen@denpubs.com

bullying prevention video contest at sur-

38964

PLATTSBURGH — As William Colvard exited the limousine and walked down the red carpet, he explained how uncomfortable his first film role made him feel.

“It didn’t feel good,” said the 11-year-old Beekmantown Central School student.

He portrayed a bully, reinforcing his own certainty that he’ll never terrorize another human being and reminding him to speak up if he ever witnesses such an act.

“Once or twice I have seen someone be bullied.”

Recently. the safe Schools/Health Students project announced the winners o the

prise local events at local schools in Beekmantown and Plattsburgh. Winners then debuted their films on the big screen for family, friends and members of their school communities at a red carpet event at Cumberland 12 Cinemas in Plattsburgh.

Cumberland 12 donated one of its theaters, as ell as popcorn for the event, and Ground Force One provided limos, which transported winners to the film premiere.

Safe Schools/Healthy Students is in its fourth year and last year created a task force against bullying that involved police, the media, educators, parents and more.

Nearly 30 percent, or 5.7 million children are involved in bullying, as victims, perpetrators or both, according to the National YOuth Violence Prevention Resource Center and Health Resources and Services Administration.

Gay youth are significantly more likely to be bullied, while kids with disabilities are

also at a higher risk of being bullied.

“I hear Will come home with horror stories,” said Colvard’s mother, Heather Finley.

“It’s a problem,” said Wanda McQueen, director of Safe Schools/Healthy Students.

The program’s contest challenged area elementary, middle and high-school students to create anti-bullying videos.

CV-TEC and Beekmantown Central School were the top winners.

The films included one in which a female student feels worthless after her locker is covered with hurtful words.

In another film, a bully knocks down lunch trays only to be wheeled out of the cafeteria by other students.

“I think it’s great that they did this,” Finley said. “It made Will more aware of bullying and how it impacts people.”

Colvard said he has never been a bully.

“You can hurt people’s feelings and hurt them.”

Champlain leaders searching for a playground

By John Grybos

jgrybos@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — Though he was looking at a long-vacant lot that’s now simply a grassy lawn, Champlain Village Mayor Gregory Martin saw a family-friendly play spot that could add life to the downtown scene.

With the playground at the old Champlain village school long decayed, the only place for local kids to play is the St. Mary's Academy playground. The village board wants to give kids another option and take some of that burden off the Catholic school.

Just off Main Street, where an A&P grocery store once stood and close to the current community garden, Mayor Gregory Martin said they'd like to pave a spot for a combined tennis and basketball court. He's also working on getting grants or rebates on playground equipment there for village kids. The paved spot could be used for a skating rink, too. It would be about where the village skating rink was poured for its short season this year.

“It’s a shame to just let the land sit here and do nothing,” said Martin.

The community garden really took off last year, with all the plots filling up fast.

This year, people around the village keep asking him if they’ll get a chance to dig in the dirt. Martin’s been surprised by residents’ enthusiasm.

“I don’t want to be a skeptic, but it was more successful than I thought it was going to be,” said Martin.

After seeing that re-

sponse, building a recreational area for families there seemed like a natural development. Kids were already playing there while their parents tended to their crops. And the village hasn’t offered a play place in years, leaving the Catholic school as the only option.

St. Mary’s playground St. Mary's has allowed the public to use their unfenced playground as long as Sister Marie Cordata, St. Mary's school principal, has been there.

“We just ask that they use it with care,” said Cordata.

Some kids, especially the younger ones, are often escorted by their parents, but local teens use it as a hangout spot, too. Mostly, the community treats the playground well, though a notable case in the late '90s is still fresh in her mind.

The playground once featured a very old-style, heavy metal slide bolted to the ground at the school. Following a weekend break, Cordata returned to see the

slide's spot sitting empty.

The custodian had no idea what happened, and Cordata was amazed that someone even managed to get the heavy slide out of the playground.

Even with such an exceptional case of mistreatment and the litterbugs that leave McDonald's wrappers around, Cordata said they're aren't going to limit public access with a fence.

“We know they don't have places to go,” she said.

Village options The last public playground was put together with fundraising and labor from the community, but was built at the old Champlain village school. There was a court there for tennis that was available to the village residents even after the school had closed. But as the property changed hands among a couple private buyers, it became much harder for residents to get access and the court and playground decayed.

“It became an area that

people did not want to use because it was in such a state of disrepair,” said Martin.

For the playground, the board's planning on standard swings and slides playground equipment, but they want to be very careful about safety and liability following injuries at Lake Placid's Paw Print Park in November.

The spot should be a hub for village activity as it's next to the community garden, which is planned to get bigger this year. Martin hopes that activity helps breathe life back into the faded downtown.

The village acquired the land at the turn of this century during a Federal Emergency Management Agency buyout program that sought to take permanent buildings off flood-prone lots. Along with Paquette Park and the picnic area across the river, the village board is trying to offer residents plenty of reasons to spend time on Main Street.

Martin thinks they'll have the court paved this year, and he hopes that a playground can be installed by the end of summer, too. The village board won’t be able to afford the project on its own, so Martin hopes that

the same community spirit and dedication that got the old playground built at the

now-closed public school rekindles for another local improvement effort.

Political squabbling hurts average Americans

C

ongressman Bill Owens, speaking recently in the City of Plattsburgh, said ideology prevents progress in Washington, D.C. The Republicans think they are right. The Democrats believe they are right. They each believe the other party is wrong, and that appears to be it ... period.

In fact, it seems as though it is more important to be right and to further certain ideological stances than to embrace reform and progress, especially if it comes from the wrong side of the aisle.

This refusal to work together is actually nothing new in politics, though considering the state of the nation, it is becoming increasingly frustrating and pathetic.

Consider the number of uninsured in the United States.

President Obama started out fighting for universal health care before settling for something much less and more problematic.

Now one does not have to agree with the president's plight to admit that the current state of health care in the country is a mess. Beyond the number of uninsured, those who have insurance available to them often cannot afford it, and while medicaid is available to the poor, finding doctors who accept it is a near impossible task, not to mention the difficulties that arise pertaining to what will and will not be covered.

Then there is public education.

The task of educating children has been growing increasingly more difficult over the past few years as aid shrinks and costs soar. Plus, taxpayers have been pushed to their limits, so schools have nowhere to turn to for revenue.

As a result, school districts throughout the North Country and across the nation have been eliminating jobs and making painful cuts to programs, if not axing them altogether. In fact, many districts have done away with athletics, arts, extra-curriculars, programs for at-risk students and advanced classes for gifted students.

And this mess is merely in its infancy, because next year and the year after will likely be worse.

New York lawmakers claim they are becoming a model for the rest of the nation due to their bipartisan efforts ever since Gov. Andrew Cuomo took office.

Frankly, it's too early to tell, especially when this latest dose of so-called pension reform inspired equal cries of condemnation and celebration in a deal that appears to have partly been about bolstering legislators’ chances at re-election in the way of redistricting.

But what can be certain is that, given the current state of the nation in the wake of the Great Recession, the public cannot afford for lawmaker squabbling, egos and ideology to get in the way of much needed relief.

It is not a matter of who is right or wrong. It is a matter of what is right, for everyone.

Amid the outrage exists hypocrisy P

I wouldn't argue with that. It was offensive. But what people overlooked is that it was meant to be offensive because the attack on women’s rights that it was taking aim at was intensely horrifying.The best satire often tackles its subject in such a way, using offensive material — in a brilliant way in this case I must say — to reflect the nature of what initially inspired the creative work.

But you want to know what stood out to me the most lately, as I watched, listened to and read about people, especially liberals, spew venom at their latest outrage —hypocrisy.

First, I should point out that I consider myself to be quite liberal, especially when it comes to my social views. I support gay marriage, would never take away a woman's right to choose, believe our government largely acts in ways to protect and improve its fiscal assets no matter the costs at the prod-

oliticians, political hopefuls, media loudmouths and many more have been revealing their ignorance in ways that, well, actually are not all that shocking or alarming.

That is not to say I don't find their message, their beliefs and their rants to be utterly reprehensible as they continue their fight to pull us back to a time when women knew their place, the oppressed dared not cry for help and white men with a little bit of power were looked up to, not because they were respected or admired but because the masses hoped that just maybe a crumb or two might fall their way.

The Doonesbury comic strip expertly tackled the latest rampage of ignorance by putting out some creative, even brilliant satirical works of art that delved into abortion-law changes. Some newspapers chose not to run them because they viewed the content offensive.

Stephen Bartlett

From the Editor’s Desk ding of its corporate donors, and think not too much but not enough funding has been sent the way of public education and human-service organizations so they can adequately do their jobs.

In the same breath, I find liberals largely to be the biggest group of hypocrites to have ever walked the planet.

Yes, I wince when someone's re-

ligion causes them to want to restrict the rights of others who behave in ways that contradict their own beliefs.

Hate groups frighten me and make me see red, especially when witnessing the emotional toll their actions take on their victims.

When I witness people lack empathy for the disabled, downtrodden and all around less fortunate while espousing what resembles a survival of the fittest mantra I sometimes cry.

Yet I cannot say I am right and they are wrong, and I never consider myself more enlightened because of my viewpoints, which are merely different.

In fact, their actions do not surprise me, as it's no shock when, say, a Christian condemns homosexuality. Such individuals do not pretend to condone or support such actions. Indeed, they openly admit their opposition.

Yet liberals claim to be the most

accepting, diverse, open-minded group of individuals around. What many, not all, but many fail to recognize is that they are only open and accepting as long as you subscribe to their definition of diversity and their type of openness.

I have witnessed many a liberal friend claim to be open and accepting and in the same sentence spit venom at the belief systems of, say, Christians.

That doesn't seem very open to me. How open is someone who only accepts individuals who subscribe to his or her form of viewing and behaving in the world?

Anyway, as we cheer Garry Trudeau, slam some media outlets for censoring Doonesbury and condemn individuals for their own ignorance, maybe we should glance in the mirror and examine ourselves.

Don’t downplay importance of sports A

ccording to one of our recent polls, the vast majority of people believe that sports should be removed from school budgets in order to help districts stay within tax caps.

So, it is now my turn to tell you why the majority of people are wrong.

Cutting sports is a flatout idiotic idea, and the only people that I can see even thinking to take that step are those who were picked on by the jocks in school and thought, "One day, I will get back at all of them."

Sports is as important to education as the arts and music. The problem is, these are also the top three choices on the poll.

Do these people not remember going to school?

Do they not remember the

fun that comes from getting a chance to participate in these activities? If they did, then they would remember that there is a lot of learning that comes from these endeavors.

Cutting sports will also make them more selective and class-driven than they already are. We know that, even if sports are taken out of school budgets, they will live on through boosters.

Boosters can't pay for everything, though, and the remainder of the cost will have to come from the participants. That means kids who may have played for the team but are financially unable to will not be able to play. That's a problem, as some kids may use sports as their only release from otherwise tough days.

The same can be said for music and arts programs.

Keith Lobdell

The Lobster Tank How can educators or school boards make these items selective for only those who can afford it?

That does not seem like a fair way to do business.

Sports, music and arts were a big part of my life in school, and here is the big reveal — I was a benchwarmer in two out of the three sports seasons.

That's right, during the soccer and basketball seasons, I just sat there,

cheered on my team, and actually enjoyed almost every minute of it. And I was a darn good baseball player.

I also was a member of the school chorus, jazz band and regular band, as well as a member of the drama club and public speaking teams.

There is no way I would have been able to do everything I was able to do in school if I (alright, my parents) had to pay for it. Not that I think they would not have been able to, but they would have wanted me to prioritize, probably based on ability, and select the ones that I was best suited for. That, of course, would have been upsetting.

Fire towers attract visitors but need repairs

By John Grybos

jgrybos@denpubs.com LYON MOUNTAIN — The peak here, where summertime staffers would daily climb the still-standing fire tower to stand vigilant against wildfires, remains a popular climb, in part because of the history of that now-disheveled structure.

With the building only partly restored after the New York Department of Environmental Conservation acquired it in 2008. Steps and landings were replaced and the tower was painted.

It could use a few more friends to ensure it remains a draw, said Adirondack Fire Tower Association Director David Thomas-Train.

“Towers are rather magnetic,” said Thomas-Train.

“Hikers, firefighters, engineers, environmentalists, educators all seem to like them. Kids love them.”

Dannemora Town Councilman Ken Brassard Jr. said on a recent holiday climb, he passed three groups of two on his way to the summit.

Because the mountain hosted a small ski resort until the '70s, people often carry up skis or snowboards and slide down the old, overgrown glades.

There's no budget or group for tower maintenance right now, though it

houses a radio repeater for the forest service. Clear needs at the tower include roof repairs, foundation work, stair fencing and railing installation. Before any of that work can begin, an engineering study has to be completed. DEC forester Dan Levy said he already initiated that process during the Feb. 21 meeting to gauge interest in forming a friends of the fire tower group.

The tower can become an asset to the mountain if preserved, and a destination if enhanced.

Thomas-Train first became involved with the five-year-old fire tower association as a friend of the Pok-O-Moonshine tower, which today has brochures describing the building and its history along with interpretive elements to educate visitors.

The same sort of effort at Lyon Mountain would be pursued under and AdoptA-Natural-Resource Agreement with the DEC. The agreement gives liability and workers' compensation insurance to volunteers working on a tower. It also makes the adopting group eligible for matching funds from the DEC that can cover costs like printing brochures and materials for tower repairs.

“It allows us to stretch our limited resources that much further,” said DEC least May 15, leaving some passengers stranded and scrambling to find a way

t-shirts, though no fundraising is allowed on-site. There are state constitutional clauses forbidding that. It’s possible to get around that if there are adjoining private properties.

The friends groups provide a mechanism for local people who know and are particularly attached to a place, said Thomas-Train, those who have emotional ownership.

History

spokesman David Winchell.

He added that while restoring the historic structures is important, the biggest benefit is the public education encouraged by restoration efforts.

Five tower projects have begun since the association formed, and other projects joined the Adirondack Fire Tower Association umbrella

at its beginning. ThomasTrain said there's no strict life cycle for tower revitalization. Some towers have done it in as little as two years, others can take nearly a decade.

“There’s no blueprint,” he said.

To support the project, they do fundraising, often selling patches, posters and

home and others wondering how they were going to get out of the area to begin their vacations.

In a short period of time, various media outlets began reporting on the company's troubled financial situation, including overdue plane and fuel bills.

The company has since filed bankruptcy and owes Clinton County between &170,000 and $180,000.

“I am very angered for people who have purchased tickets who won't be refunded and people who have made vacation plans and accommodations who cannot reach their destinations,” Kasprzak said. “Unfortunately, it is my understanding that since Direct Air does not own their planes, it will be a real challenge for anyone to receive funds.”

“I am appalled at that. It is very unfair to all their cus-

tomers.”

Direct Air began operations in 2007 and contracts with carriers to fly passengers to 17 cities in the East, Midwest and South.

It began service at Plattsburgh International Airport in 2008 and has largely been successful. Service in Plattsburgh includes three flights per week between Plattsburgh and Myrtle Beach, four weekly between Plattsburgh and Fort Myers/Punta Gorda, and four weekly between Plattsburgh and Orlando/Sanford.

Myrtle Beach International Airport announced all operations by Direct Air were suspended Monday, March 12, due to fueling issues.

But as of Tuesday morning, the company had not informed Plattsburgh International Airport of any problems. By that afternoon, the company posted a statement

The towers are deeply rooted in Adirondack history. With a high level of logging and extended droughts at the dawn of the 20th century, steam locomotives hauling lumber spewed sparks from their smokestacks, igniting dry trees.

The worst years were 1903 and 1908, which combined saw nearly one million acres of forest burned, about a sixth of the total land area of the larger-than-Vermont state park. This extensive burning sent smoke as thick as fog to New York City and blanketed nearby cities like Utica with ash.

Responding to public outcry, Governor Charles Evans Hughes launched the fire tower program. Fifty-seven of the towers were built in the Adirondack Park, where they were staffed daily during the forest fire season. on its website announcing that flights were suspended from March 13 through at least May 15, stranding thousands of passengers.

Direct Air indicated it needed to address operational matters and was “evaluating strategic alternatives for Direct Air.” Passengers with reservations who used a credit card to purchase tickets could contact their credit card company for a refund.

Clinton County issued a press release Tuesday afternoon stating it would continue to monitor Direct Air's actions regarding resuming services and provide updates when information becomes available.

But as the story unfolded, it quickly became a tale of past-due debt.

Direct Air owed its fuel supplier a substantial amount of money.

Two companies - Xtra Airways and Sky King - that provide planes to Direct Air told federal authorities that they were halting flights for the company over nonpayment.

“If Direct Air has not paid its fuel bills and your fuel provider now refuses to provide any fuel for Direct Air flights, it is clearly impossible in the absence of fuel for Sky King to operate any further flights for Direct Air,” Sky King President Frank

The first Lyon Mountain tower was built in 1910.

The tower sighters worked April to October, and some even lived at the fire tower cabins with their families. To make the summit cabins more homey, they'd add outbuildings for firewood and perishables, grow apple trees and dig vegetable cellars.

When the Disney film “Bambi” helped raise public awareness on forest conservation, the fire tower watchers provided education to visitors, though it wasn't in their job description. They'd even hand out signed cards as tokens of proof for completing a tower hike. When the Smokey Bear campaign started, they gave out silver coins with the fire-preventing bear's likeness on them.

The towers started to fall into disrepair during World War II, when the men staffing them were called away to fight. By the '70s, cheap planes began replacing the tower's fire-spotting function. Once the '80s came to a close, the DEC found that members of the public were most effective at spotting fires. They closed the remaining towers and ended most spotting flights.

To get involved in the committee to preserve the Lyon Mountain fire tower, email David Thomas-Train at badtts@kvvi.net.

Visconti wrote in a letter to Direct Air Managing Partner Kay Ellison.

Direct Air filed for bankruptcy in the Massachusetts Division of U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

This comes after the investment of additional working capital by a Washington, D.C.-based investor purchased a majority interest in the company.

Court documents reveal the company owes between $10 million and $50 million to somwhere between 100 and 200 crediors with only $500,000 to $1 million in assets.

Direct Air owes Plattsburgh International Airport just less than $100,000, with much of the debt stemming from a passenger-facility charge on every ticket sold for flights out of Plattsburgh.

Plattsburgh International Airport manager Christopher Krieg said the county will seek out another airline.

“I was getting calls from people who bought buy one get one free and were looking to leave, and all the dates were blacked out and they couldn't return for a few weeks,” Kasprzak said. “I also heard of many delays and cancelations over the years of Direct Air flights, and that caused me to look into it.”

Local maple makers hoping for cold weather

Vacuum systems like Richard Atwood’s are what make the difference in a tough year like this and keep the sap flowing, said Uihlien Forest Director Mike Farrell.

from page 1 Sometimes the items are buried under the snow, so the dumping spots will look even worse as spring comes around.

Items that shed light on open burglary cases have been found by looking into dumping incidents. Risetto said they’ve found safes and footlockers that tied into such cases.

The Sheriff ’s Office has Deputy Warren assigned to illegal dumping complaints.

Call him at 565-4340 to report incidents.

It’s especially helpful if information about the vehicles involved is available.

Statewide burn ban effective now RAY BROOK — A state-wide burn ban is effective from March 16 through May 14.

The lack of green vegetation, abundance of available fuels such as dry grass and leaves, warm temperatures and wind make spring a high-risk season for wildfires. Debris burning accounted for about 36 percent of wildfires between 1985 and 2009, making it the largest single cause of wildfires in New York state. In 2009, New York toughened restrictions on open burning to reduce air pollutants and prevent wildfires.

The burn ban regulation allows brush burning for most of the year in towns smaller than 20,000 residents, but it prohibits open burning in early spring when most wildfires typically occur. The state regulation prohibits the burning of garbage at

Whether there's a shortage or a surplus, the season will depend on the Canadian sugar shacks.

said Farrell. Long-term forecasts expect the weather to drop again to something a little more seasonal. Usually, it only takes a few days of high temperatures to shut down sap collecting. But the weather's so strange, Farrell said he's not sure that rule

ference in strange weather.

The vacuum collection system at the sugarbush is what keeps the sap flowing in odd conditions.

Richard Atwood's results haven't been so rosy. He's a little above 50 percent of what he got in sap last year, though 2011 was an excellent year for all producers.

“The sap has been running pretty good, surprisingly,” said Atwood, “But I'm constantly watching the tree tops.”

When everybody else is happy with the weather, maple producers are miserable, said Atwood. With the weather as warm as it's been, Atwood said he expects his trees to stop making the good sap by the end of the week.

Farrell said that no matter what happens in Vermont and New York this year, Quebec still makes 80 percent of maple products.

CHAZY — Summer-like weather seems to be marking one of the shortest winters in Clinton County memory, but it's also nipping the sugar season in the bud for local maple makers.

Once the weather cycles from the short-lived freezing nights and warm days that make the sugar maples give up their sap and into consistently warm temperatures, the trees will start budding for their annual leaf growth.

“We've never had a cycle as weird as this one,” said Mike Farrell, director of the Uihlein forest just outside Lake Placid. They're a branch of Cornell research.

“So we're not really sure what to expect.”

This weather usually sets in mid-April, and marks the end of useful sap gathering.

will hold.

From what he's heard so far, the big producers with high-pressure vacuum systems on their tubing have done fine. But small operations that rely on buckets or gravity-only tubing systems have been struggling through a tough season.

Michael Parker at Parker Family Maple Farm was very optimistic about his sap yields. The Parker sugar house has already hit its expected capacity for the season, and if they keep collecting sap they'll have an outstanding year, he said.

“Even today, it's 73 degrees out and the sap's running great,” said Parker Monday. “It' doesn't make sense.”

He's not complaining, though. They started out the season with very high-grade syrup, and are making medium-grade right now. He said technology makes all the dif-

Pension reform draws mixed reviews from the public cies that birthed the Great Recession, says Roderick Sherman.

“That is who they have attacked,” said the president of the Plattsburgh Teachers Association. “They have attacked our children on two fronts.”

On the other hand, some welcome reform of a system that most recently has been costing local governments more in the form of rising contribution rates.

“This legislation brings long-term financial relief to all local governments,” said Plattsburgh City Mayor Donald Kasprzak.

managed by somebody, and the kind of money you get on return is low on that,” he said.

“You have to plan to live to be 99.”

Last year, he explained, the New York state teacher retirement system earned more than 20 percent on its investments. More than 80 percent of what the state retirement pays out comes from investment earnings.

“The pension system that has been run by the state of New York is a very efficient system and a low cost system.”

He understands that local governments have been complaining because the amount they put into the system has increased, but what they forget is that it has been as low as .3 percent. It’s easy to cherry-pick the year contributions went up the most to bolster your argument that the system is costly, Sherman said, adding that he could pick out dates where there was hardly any contribution.

These so-called pension reforms will not impact teachers and law enforcement currently on the job, Sherman pointed out, but they will affect the children of Plattsburgh and New York state who might decide to devote their lives to public service one day.

“It is hurting the same children the state is not coming up with the funds needed to give them what they need today,” he said.

“They have attacked our children on two fronts.”

Other union leaders said the reforms were about politicians once again climbing into bed with the wealthy 1 percent at the expense of teachers, secretaries, laborers, bus drivers and nurses.

“Speaking today for the 54,000 members of the New York State Public Employees Federation, we are appalled that state legislators finally broke and gave in to the governor ’s relentless demand for a new pension tier that will do nothing to help the state or local governments deal with their current budget demands,” federation President Ken Brynien said in a statement.

Kasprzak sees it differently, saying Plattsburgh’s retirement costs in 2000 were roughly $18,000 and in 2012 estimated to be $2.8 million. Such numbers are unaffordable, he said, and the passage of “historic” pension reform addresses the “unsustainable retirement costs affecting every local government in New York state.”

The reforms address long-term pension costs, raise the retirement age, increase employee contributions fairly and consistently, and take steps to eliminate pension abuse padding and payment of unused sick and vacation time, Kasprzak said.

“I applaud the efforts of Governor Cuomo in addressing pension reform.”

State lawmakers approved pension reform they say will save more than $80 billion over 30 years.

This would be accomplished largely by reducing benefits for newly-hired state and local public workers, something union officials say is a direct assault on the middle class.

The law creates a sixth tier of smaller pension benefits for future state and local public workers and raises contributions to retirement plans with a sliding scale, ranging from 3 percent to 6 percent. It further raises the minimum retirement age for state workers from 62 to 63.

Pension costs for New York’s municipalities have risen more than 650 percent since 2002, to $12.2 billion in 2012, according to information released by Cuomo.

The National Institute on Retirement Security reported that, in 2009, 768,392 residents received a total of $20.5 billion from state and local plans for an average of $2,200 monthly.

“By putting the interests of the people of New York first, we overcame the obstacles that for so long have stood in the way of real reform and delivered one of the most critical, widespread reforms the state has seen in years,” Cuomo said in a press release.

Cuomo in fact sought more drastic changes as state and local governments nationwide work to reduce retirement costs.

In fact, from 2009 to 2011, 43 states changed retirement plans for public employees and teachers, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

But Cuomo didn’t gain his pension reforms without more Albany deal-making.

Specifically, the governor had said while campaigning for governor that he would not approve redistricting maps unless they were drawn by an independent body. But he approved the Legislature’s districts, making court revisions more difficult and paving the way for what many see as unfair elections for the next 10 years.

“Legislators made a deal with the governor,” Sherman said. “He wanted pension reform, and they wanted district lines to assure their re-election. They traded with the governor, basically by saying we will give you the pensions of future workers of the state of New York and you give us our election district lines so we can get re-elected.

“They are hurting the very same children they are hurting right now.”

Sherman said there are misunderstandings between the pensions public workers have and the 401k that some in the private sector have.

“They have to move all their money into a low-risk percentage return pool of money

Saranac Lady Chiefs state title hoop dreams end against Irvington TROY — The Saranac Lady Chiefs’ run at a state championship ended March 16 with a 64-31 loss at the hands of Section I champ Irvington.

The Lady Bulldogs held a 21-0 lead to open the game that the Chiefs were never able to overcome.

“I’m not saying that we got caught up in all of the hoopla this week, but that was not our typical start,” head coach Tim Newell said. “You have to give credit to them as well, but we had a tough time on defense and their defense did not allow us to get set in the half court.”

Newell said that the team fought hard throughout the game, but came up against a better opponent in Irvington.

“It was not a lack of effort,” he said. “They surprised us with how physical they were and they were able to break out.”

“They are by far the number one team out there,” senior Stephanie Linder said. “You could not stop their inside game, they distributed the ball well and played great defense. We knew what they could do, and they had a great game.”

Morgan Maye looks to cut to the basket as four Irvington defenders focus in on Alisha Ducatte, with the ball.

The Lady Bulldogs defense held the Chiefs to 31 points in the Class B semifinal game.

Tim Newell accepts the Final Four plaque from Greg Waters of Section VII.

I am so proud of the girls on this team,” Linder said. “To get here is amazing. We have been together since third and fourth grade and no one can take that away from us and the way that we worked hard all the time for each other.”

Newell said that, while the farewells were tough, the team could look forward to another solid season with players like Kayla Napper, Kristen Napper and others returning.

“They are real coachable and intelligent young players,” he said. “They do everything correct, but we will need to develop that offensive confidence that Linder and Ducatte had for us this season.”

“They have a great group and I think they have all of this to look forward to again,” Linder said.

The Chiefs finished the season at 23-1, capturing the Section VII and Region II Class B titles. After the game, Ducatte was awarded with the sportsmanship award and Linder was named to the Final Four Tournament team.

On March 17, the Lady Bulldogs scored an equally convincing 69-42 win over South Jefferson to claim the NYSPHSAA Class B title.

and Alisha Ducatte each scored five points.

Morgan Maye had three points and five rebounds, while Kristen Napper, Brooke Layhee and Victoria Phaneuf each scored two points (Phaneuf added five rebounds). Kayla Napper and Katie Gates each scored one.

Newell said that he was proud of his five seniors in Linder, Phaneuf, Ducatte, Maye and Gates.

“They are the reason why we made it this far,” the coach said.

“They have been a team from fifth grade on and when they came out of the game, that is what I told them along with I considered them to be a second family and I love Kristen Napper shoots the ball. them like daughters.”

Alisha Ducatte received the sportsmanship award from Greg Waters.
