Naubereit given one year in jail, 10 probation

Cabin Fever Sundays set at Adk. Museum

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com

LAKE PLEASANT Ñ Robert G. Naubereit, the former Indian Lake Central School custodian and bus driver accused of raping a 16-year-old female student last June, pled guilty to a felony charge of third-degree rape on Dec. 13 and was formally sentenced to one year in county prison and 10 years of probation.

Hamilton County District Attorney Marsha King Purdue offered Naubereit a plea bargain due to his clean criminal history but stopped short of reducing the charges, citing evidence of premeditation alongside his abuse of authority. Ò I want to make sure that a message is sent loud and clear that if an adult engages in sexual relations with a child who is less than 17-years-old, it will be taken very seriously,Ó said Purdue in a statement. Ò It does not matter that no force was used.

A 16-year-old is still a child and the adult is responsible and will be held responsible for his actions.Ó According to the New York State Penal Code, a person is guilty of rape in the third degree when an adult over the age of 21 engages in sexual intercourse with another person who is less than 17 years old.

Naubereit, 26, was arrested on June 3 after Indian Lake Central School Principal David Snide notified troopers about a female student who disclosed that she was having a sexual relationship with an older male.

Steve McNally takes office as Minerva Town Supervisor

By Pete DeMola

Index

Students bring holiday music to the stage

MINERVA Ñ With the new year comes new leadership in the town of Minerva as Stephen McNally (I) is slated to take over as the new town supervisor on Wednesday, Jan 1.

McNally, the former deputy supervisor, ran against incumbent Sue Montgomery Corey (D/I) last fall and eked out a narrow victory in a contentious race that hinged on 26 absentee and three affidavit ballots and an eventual re-canvassing that handed him 209 votes to CoreyÕ s 192.

Corey held the seat for four years and shepherded the

town through a number of high profile issues, including last year’s tussle with the state over the classification of the Essex Chain Lakes and the ongoing battle with Verizon over a proposed tower that will give the townÕ s residents long-demanded cellphone access.

Under CoreyÕ s self-described Ò results-basedÓ leadership, the town secured a number of funds and grants, including a Cleaner Greener Communities Planning Grant awarded to help the town develop their facilities and $400,000 from the stateÕ s Community Development Block Grant Small Cities Program that will allow for a dozen local households to receive improvements to their residences.

Future challenges for the town, Corey said, include

addressing the deterioration of the Minerva Lake Dam and adapting to an increasingly complex state apparatus: Ò Being a town supervisor has gotten a lot more complicated over the last four years,Ó she said. Ò There were no tax caps and fewer mandates in 2010 and every year, there are new systems, rules, levels of accountability.Ó The expectations for a small town are not much different from those of a large town, Corey said. However, the major difference is that Minerva was expected to fulfill the same expectations with fewer staff and a supervisor position that required more hands-on work and direct efforts.

ICE FEST Nothing says winter fortitude like using sharp blades to shape blocks of ice, and the town has invited sculptor Stanley Kolonko to inspire festival-goers with his brand of winter wizardry.

Kolonko, owner of Central New YorkÕ s famed Ice Farm studio, is renowned worldwide for his intricately carved ice sculptures. He and collaborator Chris Uyehara took top honors at the Harbin Ice Festival in China in 2010, the worldÕ s most prestigious ice sculpting competition, and both are respected regulars on the ice carving circuit, a close knit community that trots the globe turning subzero ice blocks into high art.

Friday, Jan. 10, will see the Camden native coming up to Long Lake before venturing off to Ottawa for the 23rd Crystal Garden International Ice Carving Exhibition.

Kolonko, a former North Country resident and winter enthusiast, enjoys his regular visits to the town. Chatting with residents after his exhibitions are finished, he says, is the best part.

“We’re going to be carving everything from logos, bears, fish to shamrocks,Ó said Kolonko, referring to the scheduled installation for Shamrock Motel & Cottages in Long Lake. Ò ItÕ s going to be a safe and fun, family environment.Ó Kolonko Ò growsÓ ice in his workshop, utilizing reverse osmosis filtration, Clinebell ice machines and “a good amount of patience.Ó Each machine can produce two blocks of ice every four days. Ò I never thought this would become a career and IÕ m glad that IÕ m able to do exactly what IÕ m passionate about for my living.Ó Look for events throughout the town Ñ including the Raquette Lake Library, the Long Lake Town Offices and other locations Ñ as Kolonko criss-crosses the area to chisel out his installations.

Each project will be different, Kolonko said, noting that he enjoys the abstract Ñ free motion and carvings with clean lines. Ò Hopefully the weather will be good for us and the sculptures will last through the winter.Ó Visit mylonglake.com for up-to-date carving locations.

It is time to raise the minimum wage Small change, long-term improvements

O

ne of our veteran editors wrote an article several years ago describing the extreme hardships a family in Johnsburg was enduring as the parents were working long hours at minimum-wage jobs.

Hard-working and committed to their children, the man and wife headed out each day in an effort to provide their family with safe housing and a decent start in life.

Yet with burdensome home heating costs and sky-high vehicle fuel and insurance expenses, their minimum-wage earnings were nowhere near covering the basic necessities for their family. To survive, they were forced to depend on a variety of government programs.

Since then, the situation is even worse for thousands of families in the Adirondacks who rely on minimum-wage employment for their income.

Decent jobs are rare in the central Adirondacks, and we see the result: many local residents, whose families have lived here for generations, are leaving so they can make a respectable living elsewhere. Over the past 30 years the population of core Adirondack communities has declined by 30 percent or more.

In 1973, this Denton editor reports, he and his wife both worked for a salary just above minimum wage, or $1.60 per hour, and they were able to pay for not only their housing costs, food, insurance on three vehicles Ñ and their health insurance premiums (only $85 per year full cost for a policy) Ñ they also had cash left over for vacations and non-essential purchases.

Now, people earning minimum wage have no such ability. The total cost of a health care plan alone can exceed a minimum-wage workerÕ s entire annual salary.

Those working at the 2014 minimum wage rate of $7.25 have far less buying power than workers earning $1.60 per hour in 1973.

Since 1970 or so, the average pay of top executives nationally has increased a thousand-fold, while wages for working people havenÕ t even kept up with the rising cost of living.

ItÕ s estimated that if the minimum wage had been tied to increases in cost of living over those 40 years, the minimum wage now would be $10.65 per hour.

ItÕ s important to note that over these four decades, U.S. labor productivity has risen by at least 125 percent, which would mean that minimum wage workers Ñ if fully compensated for their work Ñ should now be making $22 per hour or more.

Some citizens who espouse pure free-market capitalism, oppose raising the minimum wage, citing that it would cause job losses. But studies

show that the opposite is likely to happen, with more earned income circulating in the economy.

Such opponents also claim that a higher minimum wage would cause the cost of goods and services to spiral, but studies indicate that the cost of raising the minimum wage to $10.50 Ñ and improving the lives of many millions of Americans Ñ would be a matter of a price increases of a few cents on a $5 product.

Raising the minimum wage is also likely to put quite a shot in the economy, as the higher earnings would be spent on more goods and services. A Chicago Federal Reserve Board study indicated that raising the minimum wage to only $9 per hour would boost household spending by $48 billion, which would give the U.S. economy a considerable shot in the arm.

A raise of the minimum wage past $10 per hour would boost the income of about 35 million workers, and lift most of them out of poverty.

With the resulting financial stability, more families would be able to reclaim a middleclass lifestyle and have more time to engage in community life. Volunteerism and participation in charitable causes would increase, and crime would undoubtedly decrease.

With the resulting boost in payroll-tax revenue, both the state and federal government would have substantially higher income tax revenue Ñ and Social Security and Medicare would be far better funded.

While a variety of expensive, bureaucratic government programs now exist to subsidize the working poor, it is far more efficient in our national economy for workers to be paid directly a livable wage that reflects the true cost of their work and productivity.

Thankfully, a good number of employers in our area understand that paying a decent wage not only exerts a substantial positive impact on their workers’ lives, but it directly benefits their enterprises, including boosted productivity and reduced employee turnover.

Take Matt Funicello of Rock Hill Bakehouse for an example. He pays his 35 workers substantially above minimum wage, because he not only understands the benefits, but because he realizes to do so is his ethical responsibility.

Recently Funicello testified in Albany on behalf of the federal House Resolution 1346, which would raise the national minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.50, and provide for the rate to be raised as the cost of living increases.

We support the proposal and applaud those enterprises in the region that pay a livable wage to their employees. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

On Friday, Dec. 20 students in grades 8-12 at Indian Lake Central School attended an assembly provided by the Hamilton County District Attorney Marsha Purdue, Home Run representative Julie Wolfe, Community Services representatives Joe San Antonio, Brandy Richards, Allison Gonyo and Social Services Representative Gail Carmichael on sexting. As we all know, technology is a great tool to help us do many things and can be very entertaining, however, if used in the wrong way this can lead to serious consequences. Such is the case with sexting, which is transmission of sexually explicit photos through a cell phone and/or computer. Although these subjects are never easy to discuss, the representatives who visited ILCS did a terrific job explaining the consequences if a person should be involved with this type of activity.

many of us have in the ability of our own town supervisors to represent us. Ed Hatch has lived in Willsboro far longer than I have, as a matter of fact, all his life. He knows the issues of the town, and county, far more than I do. As far as I know, his reputation is not that of a Ò big spenderÓ I feel his successor will represent us just as well.

To the News Enterprise:

The Lights On Artisan Fair Committee thanks the Copperfield Inn for the use of the ballroom space for our 4th annual event.

And much appreciation goes out to all the town businesses who donated items for the silent auction and helped make the event a success.

Relies on leader

To the News Enterprise: I have read with interest Mr. DouglasÕ frustration with the lack of public input to the county budget, and also the letters it provoked. I feel perhaps none of them appreciated the confidence

Bigoted cartoon

To the News Enterprise: The cartoon published in the 12/20 edition of the Valley News was unusually ignorant and stupid. The point of the First Amendment protection of the free exercise of religion is precisely to prevent governmental interference with our religious beliefs.

The Obamacare mandate, by curtailing religious freedom, is a threat to ALL religions, which is why the plaintiffs in the suits against the government represent other religions besides Catholicism.

I had thought that the long and shameful history of anti-Catholic bigotry had died out in America, but the Valley News, I see, is reviving it.

Cooperators and Defectors

C

ooperation among individuals in human societies is well known.

Less well known is that in all social groups that have been well studied, both human and non-human, there are not only Ò cooperatorsÓ but also Ò defectors,Ó those individuals that are supported in some way by the activities of others, either temporarily or permanently. We also know that individuals can alter the character of their activities at different times or in different places so as to be cooperators in one situation or during a specific time interval (for example, contributing to the support of a family) and defectors in another situation or during a different time interval (such as embezzling funds from their place of work).

The words Ò cooperatorÓ and Ò defectorÓ have now become generally accepted terms used in research into the behavior of individual organisms living in social groups

Notes from Planet Earth

By Wes Dingman and are not meant to confer either praise or condemnation of the individuals so labeled.

For example, for several decades we have known that bacteria, when under stress, can form tightly packed collections in the form of films adhering to some substrate. This happens occasionally with virulent bacteria that cause human disease and which, when stressed by our immune system or by antibiotics, form films on heart valves. These dangerous and difficult to treat films are composed of more than just the bacteria as they secrete substances that help them stick tightly to one another as well as to the heart valve. They also secrete other substances that coat the colony to protect it from assault by our immune cells and antibiotics. We now have the ability to determine what individ-

ual bacteria are doing in these colonies, that is, which individuals at any given time are expending energy secreting defensive and/ or adhesive substances (Ò cooperatorsÓ ) and which are not (Ò defectorsÓ ).

Similarly, in a toxic bacterial infection of moth larvae it has recently been shown that not all bacteria are secreting the toxin that causes the death of the moth. Some individuals, the Ò defectorsÓ , are saving energy by not participating in this activity. Instead, these latter individuals are feasting on the nutrients released by the toxins, which then enables them to multiply rapidly. In this instance, a stable relationship can form between these two forms of the bacterium so that, as an adaptive functional Ò socialÓ group, they are able to infect and kill a host

efficiently and at the same time multiply sufficiently to insure a goodly supply of both toxin-producing bacteria and non-producing, but replicating, bacteria for future infections.

Research with another bacterium that kills insects has shown that in the appropriate situation each individual bacterium can alter its behavior. Thus, when this bacterium resides in the intestine of its usual host, a small parasitic worm, it cooperates with its host and both the worm and the bacterium benefit from the relationship. However, when this juvenile worm parasitizes a susceptible insect it regurgitates these bacteria from its gut. The bacteria then revert to a pathogenic state and proceed to make the toxins that allow the worm to mature by consuming the dying insect. This is not unlike soldiers who in their own country are benign cooperators among their fellow citizens but when sent to subdue another country behave as lethal aggressors.

Question of the month

What do you think are the best and worst things about winter?

Johnsburg Central School Mrs. Watson, Grade 3 The worst thing about winter is it is cold and you get frostbite. The best thing about winter is you get to have a snowball fight, build a fort; you get to ski and the best thing is hot cocoa. (Dayna Studnicky) Do you know my opinions on the best and worst thing about winter? Well, now you do. The best thing about winter is the snow and Christmas. I picked snow and because snow never gets old and I am very enthusiastic to play in it; Christmas because your family gathers together for interesting activities. Also, skiing and snowboarding is fun because you glide down the mountains. The worst thing about winter is people get injured. They can get injured by slipping on ice and falling down while skiing or snowboarding. That is my opinion on the best and worst thing about winter. (Julia Morris) Do you want to know what I think the best thing about the winter is? I think the best thing about winter is... Christmas because you get together with your family and... you get...

PRESENTS! Plus, usually you have a big family dinner. But do you want to know the worst thing about winter? I think the worst thing about winter is snow. I pick snow because the roads are slippery so itÕ s harder for people with cars to get around. Plus some people like to walk and bike so itÕ s hard for these people to do that stuff. Those are some reasons why I like the winter and why I donÕ t like the winter! (Adrianna Dunkley) I think the best thing about winter is snowmobiling because you get to go places. The other thing is to go sledding and Christmas. The worst thing about winter is you have to wear a lot of clothes. ThatÕ s why I like the winter. The End. (Evan Wing) The best thing about winter is you get to make a snowman.

The worst about winter is snowstorms in winter. Winter is the second-best season. (Joel Rivera) I think the best thing winter is snow on the ground. I play and sled and it. I think the worst thing is not enough wood to burn; too much snow, frostbite and snowballs. Another thing I like is Christmas. That is why I like winter and why I hate winter. (Milan Brouthers) This is what I like and donÕ t like about winter. I like winter because I can play in the snow and sled down my hill. I also

sometimes make snowman. We also get to have Christmas during winter. I donÕ t like winter because itÕ s cold and you have to walk through the deep snow on the cold ground. That is what I like and donÕ t like about winter. (Kamron Calvert) My favorite thing about winter is the snow. I love snow!

You can make snowforts. I have a bush and that is the roof of the snowfort. Then I build the walls with snow. I leave one spot to get in or out. I donÕ t like winter because I want it to be warmer. That is what I do and donÕ t like about winter.

(Tavia Ellifritz) The worst thing about winter is it is too cold. The best thing about winter is itÕ s a good time to drink hot cocoa.

(Matthew Towne) I think the best thing about the winter is that I have a birthday FIVE DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS! I think the worst thing about winter is that it is very cold. These are my opinions about why winter is good and why winter is bad. (Silas Taylor) I love winter because you get to build snowforts, have snowball fights and make trails out of snow. I donÕ t like winter because the snow is cold and it gets up your gloves and boots. ThatÕ s why I do and donÕ t like winter. (Caden Degroot)

Minerva Central School presents holiday concert

By Mike Corey

denpubs@denpubs.com MINERVA Ñ The Minerva Central School gymnasium was transformed into a concert hall this past Wednesday, Dec. 11 evening as the walls of the big room reflected (tastefully and with fine audio effects) the sounds of young voices and the schoolÕ s concert band. It was the annual Christmas concert, and it was a great evening to relax and enjoy some beautiful holiday music.

Three of Music Director Sabrina LaPointÕ s chorus groups got things going. The evening began with a fun performance of Ò CominÕ Down the ChimneyÓ by the Pre-k class and continued with four excellent holiday selections sung by the K-3 chorus along with four more holiday songs by the elementary chorus (grades 4 - 5). The tunes were great, the kids sang beautifully and with energy, and the crowd responded well, with resounding applause.

Bryan BeeÕ s concert band performed a beautiful rendition of Ò Star of Bethlehem,Ó including three guest performers from Newcomb Central School. The evening wrapped up with the con-

cert band combining with the K-3 and elementary choruses for a community Ò sing-alongÓ of several traditional holiday tunes. Throughout the evening, Wendy Deschetsky provided excellent piano accompaniment for all the performing groups.

It was a fine evening at Minerva Central; it was easy to find holiday spirit after an event such as this Ð one could feel it. The audience and performers alike were treated to cookies and punch at concertÕ s end, a great way to complete the event.

McNally

Continued from page 1 Ò I want to make sure all assets of the town are used efficiently,Ó said McNally on his plans for the town. Ò All departments and organizations need to work together to make our town the best it can be.Ó A 10-year town council member, McNally said that he values procedures and wants things done timely and efficiently: Ò I have been in the business world for years,Ó he said, Ò and we need to have structure to maintain our services.Ó McNally expressed his concern about the townÕ s aging population: Ò We need to do whatever we can to make their lives the best it can be,Ó he said.

The region is expected to experience a 23 percent increase in people 65 and older between 2010 and 2020, a rate 15 percent greater than upstate New York as a whole. According to a 2009 regional assessment, if current population trends continue over the next 20 years, the Adirondacks will rival FloridaÕ s west coast as having the oldest population in the United States.

According to the 2010 Census, Minerva has a population of 809. Sixteen percent of Essex CountyÕ s 38,961 residents are over the age of 65.

Under CoreyÕ s stewardship, the town made efforts last year to upgrade their senior meal site to meet code with a series of renovations Ñ including new furnishings, kitchen appliances and a new fire suppression system to bring the facility up to code Ñ that was funded largely by private donations and grants. Ò There has been talk about building a new, free-standing structure to house the meal site,Ó said Corey. If that happens, the equipment that we have secured this year can be transferred to the new structure.

As supervisor, McNally will also sit on the Town Council and will be joined by newcomer Douglas McCall (R/I), elected after a four-year break, Keith Dubay (R/I), who retained his seat, and Dave LaBar (R), who wasnÕ t up for reelection.

McNallyÕ s election leaves an empty slot on the Town Council. A new Deputy Supervisor will be announced at the organizational meeting at the Town Hall on Thursday, Jan. 2 at 7 p.m. The meeting is open to the public and will be followed by a regular meeting.

Sentencing

Continued from page 1 State police said Naubereit met the student after school and during his evening shift at the school on several occasions. Ò The meetings eventually led to inappropriate conduct by Naubereit and progressed to him engaging the student in a sexual relationship,Ó state police said in a statement issued after the arrest.

Naubereit was arraigned before Indian Lake Town Justice Thomas Atwell and was remanded to the Hamilton County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail or $20,000 bond and has remained in county custody ever since.

School officials suspended him without pay immediately following his arrest before formally terminating him on June 18.

The plea agreement means Naubereit waived his right to appeal. He agreed to a sentence of six months in jail and 10 years probation on the third-degree rape charge and to plead guilty in Indian Lake Justice Court to endangering the welfare of a child.

Officials agreed to sentence him to six months in jail to run consecutively to the county court sentence.

As part of the terms of his probation, Naubereit will be required to take an HIV test and register as a Level 1 sex offender for the next 20 years, a designation for those unlikely to commit repeat offenses and the lowest-level on New York StateÕ s threetiered system. According to state law, only Level 2 and 3 offenders are required to be listed on the public directory.

Naubereit is married with two young children. According to public records, he was hired by Indian Lake Central School on March 31, 2012 at an annual

Schumer lobbying Washington for railway upgrade tax credits SARATOGA SPRINGS Ñ The Saratoga-North Creek Railway is poised to benefit from legislation now being promoted by U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer.

New YorkÕ s senior senator visited the Saratoga Springs rail station in mid-December and was greeted by representatives of the Saratoga & North Creek Railway as he expressed strong support of extending shortline rail tax credits for several more years.

These federal credits for rail infrastructure upgrades would provide a substantial boost to the growing freight and tourist passenger opportunities existing for the Saratoga & North Creek rail line, Schumer and railway representatives said.

The railway is seeking to double ridership as well as haul freight to and from northern Warren and southern Essex counties. Such rail service is considered vital to future economic prosperity in the lower Adirondacks.

In his visit to Saratoga, Schumer said that the economic benefits of the tax credit would be substantial not only nationally but in the southern Adirondacks, creating good-paying jobs in both tourism and other industries.

Currently, the rail line serves approximately 50,000 passengers per year, primarily tourists. The upgrades which would likely allow higher speed travel, are anticipated to boost commuting by locals.

Over the past two years, the Saratoga & North Creek Railway has obtained about $300,000 worth of these tax credits for track maintenance.

The railway owns the 30-mile stretch of tracks from North Creek to Tahawus, abandoned about 25 years ago and in need of significant repair. Last year, Sen. Schumer and Gillibrand were successful in their lobbying with the Surface Transportation Board to reestablish this line, for the purpose of hauling millions of ton of titanium tailings from the former National Lead site to markets downstate.

Several weeks ago, railway general manager Justin Gonyo revealed that that contracts were pending with three firms to deliver the high-grade tailings, to be purchased and used in paving projects in Long Island.

In addition, the line will also serve the Barton garnet mine in North River. This freight run is expected to cut down the number of annual truckloads of materials from the National Lead site and the Barton garnet mine by 2 million, which would result in a major reduction in air pollution now caused trucking the material.

In late November, the railway announced it would be

running a tourist shuttle between Thurman and North Creek on weekends, and would be slashing its rates to encourage more trips by local residents. Ò The Saratoga and North Creek Railway has numerous opportunities for growth and development, for both its passenger and freight services, but only if they have the capital to make needed infrastructure improvements,Ó Schumer said in a prepared statement. Ò Adding new freight capacity and new passenger rail service will not only benefit the railroad, it will bring more tourists and investment to the region, connect smaller communities and businesses with the national rail network, and create jobs for all of the regionÕ s major employers who rely on the railway.Ó Saratoga & North Creek Railway executive David Simpson said that short-line railroads are positioned to tailor local rail services and help smaller communities connect to the national rail network.

Schumer said the railwayÕ s impact in North Creek has already been substantial, with new businesses starting up and others extending their hours.

Schumer said that freight rail line to Tahawus is in need of substantial renovations and improvements.

The planned upgrades would allow efficient freight traffic, including hauling out titanium tailings containing rare-earth elements that can be refined and utilized by high-technology firms and manufacturers.

The line will also serve the Barton garnet mine in North River. Reconstructing this line will create shortterm construction jobs, and long-term jobs once hauling begins, and would inject hundreds of thousands of dollars into the local economy each year.

Executives of the railway are now negotiating a 200,000-ton annual movement of rock from the former National Lead site, and expect that to grow to around 500,000 tons annually in subsequent years. The new traffic will require significant infrastructure improvements, but Iowa Pacific has estimated it will create about 15 new full-time jobs. Renewal of the track from North Creek to Tahawus will cost a minimum of $1 million for the first year of operation. The annual short-line rail tax credit based on the current formula equates to around $300,000 a year for the railway, Schumer estimated. Ò The combination of freight and passenger renewal will be an engine for economic growth in the southern Adirondacks and Saratoga County,Ó he said.

Calls made to various legislators to check on the status of the legislation were not returned as of Dec. 30.
