North Creek Earth Day Youth Committee to host event
North Creek paramedics travel to Iraq
By Mike Corey
news@suncommunitynews.com
NORTH CREEK — Spending two weeks in war zone is not like serving as a paramedic in North Creek. Just ask Joe Connelly and Thomas Ordway Jr., two North Creek residents who recently returned from Iraq. For over five months, the Iraqi military, with the backing of U.S.-led coalition military forces, has been battling the Islamic State in Mosul, the nation’s second largest city. Connelly works fulltime as a paramedic with the Johnsburg and Newcomb rescue squads; Ordway, with the Glens Falls Fire Department. Both have seen the carnage firsthand. The pair worked under the protection of Iraqi special forces units at scattered Trauma Stabilization Points, or triage areas designed to stabilize wounded soldiers (and sometimes civilians) before dispatching them to hospitals as far as an hour away. The job entailed placing tourniquets, packing wounds, establishing IVs and administering painkillers.
“War is different. It has all the chaos of a major natural disaster, but with much greater danger from people who are determined to kill you.”
—Joe Connelly

MinervaÕ sÊ 200thÊ anniversaryÊ laudedÊ atÊ county Town has full spate of events planned for 200th birthday By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — The Old County Courthouse was speckled with glittery green novelty hats on Monday. No, it wasn’t a belated St. Patrick’s Day celebration, but rather to honor the most recent Essex County town to cross the 200-year finish line. Minerva reached the milestone last month.
A delegation of Minerva residents attended the brief ceremony ahead of the Essex County Board of Supervisors’ full board meeting, including four former supervisors and the town’s historian. “Contrary to what people believe, Minerva is not in Warren County — it’s in Essex County,” quipped County Manager Dan Palmer, himself a Minerva resident and former supervisor. The town was established when it split off from Schroon on March 7, 1817, forming a strange polygon shape. The first town meeting was held at a schoolhouse in Schroon, where attendees resolved to divvy up goods between the two to ensure the poor in each community received some
degree of support. Town Historian Teresa Brannon Haley gave lawmakers a refresher course on the town that holds its Irish roots close to its heart. Despite some well-established facts, much of the town’s history is cloaked in mystery, including the origins of its name. One account says the first supervisor named the settlement after Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom. A second tale says the town was named after the first woman who walked by a town meeting, and a third account stems from a resident who reportedly knocked on a door to find the female occupant was named Minerva. >> See 200TH | pg. 5

WCS students, school CEO accomplish aerial feats By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — Students of Warrensburg High School saw their school district’s chief executive recently in a novel setting — they witnessed him taking on the role of a Ninja Warrior as he and a student-athlete worked together to ascend a dangling rope ladder into the rafters of the school’s lofty gymnasium. Through the school day on March 20, all high school students of grades 7 through 12 had the opportunity to experience the challenges presented by the school’s High Five course, which includes a hanging balance beam as well as a rock wall, a trapeze and the rope ladder which has its rungs spaced so far apart it requires students to assist each other as they scramble to the top, about 20-25 feet off the floor. Warrensburg Superintendent of Schools John Goralski, and senior athlete Britanny Frasier helped boost each other from one rung to another to get to the top and back down to solid ground. The challenging course is designed to develop teamwork, and agility as well as overcoming fear of heights while giving students the experience of accomplishing daunting physical challenges. Ninth grader Jesse Giron and others completed the “Leap of Faith,” as Goralski did last year. This challenge involves climbing a rock wall course, then jumping from a high perch to a trapeze, also 20-25 feet above the gym floor. Another challenge for the students, accomplished by Frasier and others in this year’s
session, was walking along the hanging balance beam, suspended about 20 feet above the floor. About an hour after Goralski completed his tandem climb, he said that said Frasier had asked him to join her in the challenge, and he decided to take it on. While many people of Goralski’s age wouldn’t dream of attempting such feats, it wasn’t out of the question for the school superintendent. Goralski not only exercises daily at the Glens Falls YMCA beginning at 5 a.m. — swimming, lifting weight or pedaling a stationery bicycle — but he’s quite active in other athletic activities. For years, he’s ridden in the Tour de Cure bicycling charity event, completing a 100mile course based in Saratoga Springs. Also, up until six years ago, he annually competed in Tupper Lake’s Tinman Triathlon’s Iron Man event, which consists of a 1.2 mile swim, followed by 56-miles of bicycling and completed by running a 13.1-mile course. During the late 2000s, Goralski was actively competing in Olympic-distance triathlons. School representatives this week said that Goralski was serving as a role model to the WCS students, showing them that despite being middle-aged, he has remained fit and agile. Goralski said Monday he enjoyed taking on the challenge of the High Five course. “I think it’s important for out students to see I’m another normal person,” he said. “We all have our respective jobs to do, but that doesn’t mean we cant have fun.”
Warrensburg’s Superintendent of Schools John Goralski and high school senior Britanny Frasier, pause as they strategize how they are going to boost each other from one rung of a suspended rope ladder to another in an ascent to the rafters of the high school gymnasium, 25 feet or so off the gym floor. The ladder climb was one of a half-dozen challenges students took on March 20 in the school’s High Five course, designed to develop teamwork, mutual trust and agility while helping students overcome fear of heights.

Lake George village budget calls for tax decrease Board meeting time changed By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Property owners in Lake
George Village will experience a slight reduction in their taxes this year, following the approval of the municipal budget April 3 by village trustees. At the board’s annual meeting, the village board also voted to change their monthly meeting time from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. In addition, the Sun Community News/Adirondack Journal was
named as an official newspaper for the village, alongside the Post Star. The 2017-18 budget calls for appropriations of $5,152,059 — a $767,813 increase from last year — minus revenues of $3,300,952, while drawing $500,000 from reserves, a sum that is $200,000 less than last year. The estimated tax rate is $6.01 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, a 13-cent decrease from last year. The budget includes 50-cent per hour raises for most village laborers, and $2,000 annual increase in pay for salaried employees. Village trustees are to receive 2 percent increases, raising their annual remuneration to $7,221. A year ago, the trustees also received a 2 percent raise. The mayor will not be receiving any increase this year. The budget provides for the salary for a new employee in the village wastewater department to accomplish tasks in coordination with the town of Lake George. The new appropriations also include payments for a new LED sign for the village firehall, a vehicle lift, and $1,000 per month rent during the summer months on a new peace officers’ headquarters. The budget also calls for providing $4,500 to construct a new dog park at the village recreation area and $10,000 toward an historical sculpture
Housing sought for seasonal workers in Lake George LAKE GEORGE — The village of Lake George is now lining up housing for foreign students employed this summer by local businesses — and area citizens who have such accommodations are urged to call the village office Students planning to work in the Lake George region must have housing arranged before they are assigned a visa permit, according to new regulations in place.

Popular programs including Magical Mondays, Tribute Tuesdays, and Fridays at the Lake as well as Thursday night fireworks are also provided for. Lake George Mayor Robert Blais said the decrease in taxes is due to two factors: increased property values — primarily due to the new Marriott Courtyard hotel and the major renovation of the Surfside resort, which contributed to the increase in assessed valuation from $217.9 million to $224.8 million. Noting that taxes are lower than in many other municipalities including the town of Lake George, he credited $800,000 in parking revenues for keeping taxes stable. “Our village remains solid financially with an AA bond rating, no fiscal stress and a very healthy reserve fund that allows us to keep our taxes stable for the sixth consecutive year,” he said in a prepared statement. Blais warned, however, that the planned reconstruction of the village wastewater treatment plant at an estimated cost of $17 million is looming over the village, and if grant funds don’t help pay for it, taxes may soar. “Without some financial aid, we face serious consequences,” he said. ing is not confirmed in advance, the foreign students — vital to the area’s workforce and economy, will be denied their visa. Those providing housing should note that as of this year, a new village law requires that anyone housing students in residential areas obtain a permit. Anyone wishing to accommodate students seasonally should call the Lake George Village offices at 668-5771 ext. 8 to have their housing listed with student recruitment agencies.

wards to find proof is like that job in reverse. But one thing is certain, she said. “The people of Minerva show no hesitation when it comes to helping a neighbor.” Former supervisors in attendance included Joe Kelly, Mike McSweeney and Sue Montgomery Corey. Numerous bicentennial events are slated for this year, including a dedication for the veterans memorial park, and a full spate of events for Minerva Day on July 1. The town previously held a bell-ringing on March 17, which was paired with postal cancellations and special commemorative postcards. Essex County was formed in 1799. Minerva’s bicentennial leaves just one of the county’s 18 towns yet to reach that milestone: North Hudson, which was carved out of Moriah in 1848. Dignitaries from Minerva gathered at the Elizabethtown County Government Center on April 3, 2017 to honor the town’s bicentennial. Photo by Pete DeMola
IsÊ lifeÊ sustainable?Ê
W
ill life on Earth prove sustainable? Consider that many of our current economic practices are based on promoting growth. Without growth, we anticipate stagnation, job losses, recession and a declining stock market. However, it has been clear for many years that economic growth cannot go on indefinitely because natural resources, such as water, minerals, and forests, are limited by what already exists on Earth. Up until the last century it seemed to most people that forests, tillable earth, seafood and the important mineral resources were virtually unlimited in extent. In response to this naiveté, these natural resources have been allowed to be exploited without compensating the future residents of this planet for either the depletion of these limited resources or for the pollution of air and water resulting from these industries. One bizarre exception to this was the fossil fuel industry’s realization that the availability of crude oil was probably limited in this country and thus we, the citizens, should pay the fossil fuel corporations a subsidy for depleting their potential sources of oil beneath our land! Logically, of course, they should have been paying the citizens of this country for the depletion of our natural resources. A dramatic and unanticipated result of this nearly unlimited access to the Earth’s natural resources exploited by the timber, fossil fuel and other industries has been an increasing amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide and a rapidly warming planet. In recent years some countries have begun to make an effort to reverse, or at least slow,

“We really only had about 15 minutes to spend with each of our patients,” Ordway said. “We worked to make them as comfortable as possible for a long and rough road to the hospital.” The process was color-coordinated. A green tag meant that a patient could wait for transport. Yellow indicated a patient had six hours to surgery. A red tag: one hour. A black tag indicated death was imminent, and the patient would not be packaged for travel. Connelly and Ordway were dispatched through NYC Medics, a nonprofit agency that dispatches medical professionals around the globe to aid in disaster areas. Originally launched in 2005 to respond to the Kashmir Earthquake in Pakistan, the group has since responded to disasters in Nepal, Haiti and the Philippines, among other destinations. The international coalition now includes doctors, physician assistants and nurses. The World Health Organization came forward in 2016 to support and supply qualified relief agencies willing to work at TSPs, and NYC Medics was up to the challenge. Connelly, a founding member, was in Mosul in February; Ordway, March. As part of the preparations, each had to take numerous online training classes, followed by immunizations and acquiring visas.
One of the toughest things for both was the limited time they could spend with their patients. “Not knowing what hospital they’re going to, you can’t follow up,” said Ordway. Relationships mainly revolved around their fellow medics and translators. Ordway also used Google Translate on his smartphone to communicate with Iraqi medics. “It’s amazing how much communicating you can do without being verbal,” he said. NYC Medics will continue to have a presence in Mosul for

this self-destructive course. Notably, China, Russia and the European Union have begun the process of “afforestation” (reforesting) of unneeded crop land. While Brazil, with some recent help from Germany, has both been able to significantly slow the process of deforestation of the Amazon rain forest and has set the goal of ceasing to deforest the Amazon region by 2030. Meanwhile, Norway is paying Indonesia to stop wasteful cutting of its tropical rain forests and modernize its economy instead. Increasing urbanization has also meant that fallow land has begun to turn green. The result of this effort and demographic change has been a small but surprising gain in the world’s ability to absorb carbon over the past several years. Upon learning this, I was motivated to look for recent data on atmospheric carbon dioxide levels — hoping to see at least a diminishing rate of increase in this greenhouse gas. Alas, not yet: Between 1960 and 1975 the rate of rise of CO2 was one part per million (ppm) per year; between 1975 and 1995 it was 1.5 ppm per year, and between 2000 and the present it has been 2 ppm per year. The economist Dieter Helm argues strongly that we must first start valuing our natural resources (see Helm, “Natural Capital - Valuing the Planet,” Yale University Press, 2015). Helm believes we should make every effort to preserve these resources as much as possible while taxing pollution and charging for the loss of non-renewable resources. at least another six months. Connelly said he’d encourage any local emergency responder to explore the opportunity. “Often it’s not our knowledge of protocols or skill proficiency that makes the difference, but our ability to go outside the box, crossing barriers of language, personality, and geography, layers of misinformation and alternative facts,” he said. Connelly added: “War is different. It has all the chaos of a major natural disaster, but with much greater danger from people who are determined to kill you.” Ordway counted Connelly as an inspiration. “He’s always been there supporting me during my paramedic classes. He sets a great example as a helper.” Both paramedics were greatly affected by their experience. “You feel like you’re part of the right cause – supporting the world’s battle,” Connelly said. Ordway would go back as soon as he
got the chance. “It’s addicting, such a great experience, but also surreal. My only regret is that I couldn’t stay longer — it’s hard to leave.” For more information about NYC Medics, visit nycmedics. org.

How can everyone benefit from trails? Point of View Chris Maron > CATS director chrismaron7@gmail.com
The Champlain Valley was the last part added to the Adirondack Park. It has little public land and, until recently, few hiking trails. This limited the economic benefits of outdoor recreation because people bypassed the valley on their way to trails in the High Peaks. But, that is changing. What led to the change? First, land conservation organizations and the state purchased key properties like Split Rock Wild Forest, Coon Mountain, and Black Kettle Farm. This expanded public access to the outdoors. Next, new “local-food” farms started up attracting young people and reviving the farm community. Then in 2008, Champlain Area Trails (CATS) began making trails to link communities, connect people with nature, and promote economic vitality. This led to CATS holding its first town-to-town hike in 2013 followed by annual Grand Hikes with over 250 hikers. Meanwhile, other trails started happening. A Cheese Tour connects local cheese-making farms. The proposed Cuisine Trail, between Ticonderoga and Keeseville, highlighting local food was submitted for formal state designation. The Elizabeth-
town Trails Committee began making mountain bike trails to link with the multi-use trails at Blueberry Hill. The 4600-mile North Country Scenic Trail contacted CATS to cooperate on making an off-road route through Crown Point to the Champlain Bridge. There’s been progress creating the Adirondack Hut-to-Hut Trail System linking all the towns in the Park. Plus, there is the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail and even a Yoga Trail. These actions drew the attention of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism and inspired the idea that led to the first “Adirondack Harvest Festival” last September when over 1500 people came to the Essex County Fairgrounds to shop at the farmers’ market, hike on CATS Trails, listen to music, and attend farming demonstrations. Then, in January, Governor Cuomo announced the goal of completing the Empire State Trail by 2020. This 750-mile trail includes a bike route from the Champlain Canalway to Ticonderoga and continuing along Route 22 through Port Henry, Westport, Essex, and Willsboro on its way to the Canadian border. This creates amazing opportunities to greatly expand the trail networks, increase outdoor recreation and boost local businesses. CATS and other local groups will advise this and the other efforts to ensure the routes connect with local hiking/biking trails and communities. All of this poses extraordinary challenges. Visitors will return if they are satisfied. That means de-
livering quality products and excellent customer service; providing food, lodging, transportation, and other amenities; having people start new businesses and operate existing ones; and having our communities and business organizations adopt a regional and cooperative approach to attaining shared goals. These opportunities create a “cart and horse” situation as in “What comes first—the travelers or the businesses?” That’s why biking and driving on the Cuisine Trail are so important: They are better able than hikers to get to the next town if something is lacking. As the number of travelers increase, there will be more trails and businesses for visitors and year-round residents to enjoy. Thinking on an even larger scale, it moves us closer to the day when people will come here to “Hike the Lake / Bike the Lake on Town-to-Town Trails around Lake Champlain.” As all this is taking place, it makes it so everyone benefits. You can benefit by coming to the 2017 “CATS Grand Hike to the Essex Inn” is on May 13 followed by a Block Party featuring Zip City Blues Band, restorative yoga with Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness, local food, and a children’s art table. Details are at ChamplainAreaTrails.com. — Westport resident Chris Maron is executive director of Champlain Area Trails. He can be reached at chrismaron7@gmail.com.

No quick fix to state’s Medicaid woes
W
e’ve spent the past month reporting on the state’s direct care industry. They’re the workforce that cares for the elderly and disabled at home, keeping them out of hospitals and nursing homes by feeding them, bathing them and otherwise performing critical life tasks. A number of issues are hobbling the industry. While any of these roadblocks are tragic on their own — hours slashed owing to overtime regulations, uneven reimbursement rates, lack of incentives and low pay — they snowball into a full-fledged crisis when taken collectively. The governor announced last week $55 million to boost wages for providers, a full $10 million over what the Senate and Assembly inserted in their budget bills last month. It’s a great start. But like whack-a-mole, without additional resources and systemic changes, the other issues will continue to resurface in other areas. What good is bumping the wages, for instance, if the increase is not paired with workforce development programs that will incentivize people to work in the industry and build sustainable careers? In that sense, the pay bump is just a quick fix, a Band-Aid (and an unsurprising one considering we knew the minimum wage increase would inevitably cause an arms race between agencies before it was haphazardly shoved through last year). Stakeholders have called for a number of proposals to mitigate the aide crisis, and we agree with most of them: Increased workforce incentives, career readiness and loan forgiveness programs, subsidies for vehicle maintenance and increased Medicaid reimbursement rates, just to name a few, are all good ideas. But we’re also trying to reconcile this with the parallel storm cloud gathering over the state’s Medicaid spending, which funds the majority of these programs — as much as 90 percent in the case of agencies that serve the North Country. The combination makes for a dangerous vortex. The Empire State’s Medicaid spending, at $60 billion annually, ranks higher than Florida and Texas combined despite having half the population, and has become a lightning rod for Republicans who have criticized the spending as out-of-control. But New York is relying on these aides to keep people out of institutionalized care, a critical lynchpin of the state’s Medicaid Design Team. Federal rollbacks may reduce the amount of federal subsidies to the program, which would likely extinguish all the progress the state has made when it comes to investing in community-based models of care with the goal of
reducing overall spending. This would mean more patients dumped in emergency rooms and retirement homes with no way to pay for them. Not only would the patients suffer, but so would the providers, who would have to write off the visits as losses. All of this is happening under a backdrop of statewide demographic trends that are not in our favor. Aides will be more necessary than ever as New York’s Baby Boomers age into their twilight years — and as young people flee the state in droves, depriving family members of a tradi-
tional source of caregivers. So what’s the solution? House Republicans have advocated simply shifting Medicaid costs from the counties to the state, which would relieve local governments of their shares. The state could then choose to raise taxes to keep those services or let that gap go unfilled. We can’t see New York leaving its most vulnerable residents out to dry, and would likely pick up the tab. But any notions of cost-savings are a pipe dream because local taxpayers will get smacked in the pocketbooks when those costs are shifted. It’s just a shell game. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has thrown his support behind the Democratic-proposal that would tweak the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage to allow more Medicaid dollars to be shifted to the state’s coffers. The state would then relieve counties of their Medicaid shares for every dollar saved through easing property tax burdens. This is a far more sensible solution, but fatally flawed for two glaring reasons: It has no chance of passing a GOP-controlled House, and even if counties hadn’t already cut taxes to the bone, county taxes are dwarfed by school taxes by as much as 6-to-1 in the Adirondacks. But we applaud the governor for his thinking, and it’s the type of smart solutions needed to ensure sustainability — especially under these uncertain times. There is no easy answer to the crisis. But rolling back Medicaid is certainly not one of them. The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau and Pete DeMola. We want to hear from you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
AffordableÊ CareÊ ActÊ beautiful,Ê yet flawed
TrumpÊ environmentalÊ policiesÊ willÊ takeÊ usÊ backÊ decadesÊ
To the Editor: The letter from Edward Welch of Johnsburg (April 1 edition of The Sun) ends by saying “we lose again.” I admire Edward for writing, but I don’t believe we lost again. The ACA, as it should really be called, is a work of beauty as it insured 10 million Americans who couldn’t get health insurance. Yes, it has a few flaws as Edward pointed out, but it succeeded in getting people insurance who could not afford it beforehand. Somehow there are those who choose to call the act “Obamacare” in a derogatory way, but whatever it is called, it is still health care for all. What needs to be done by politicians is to reign in insurance companies and drug suppliers. The results on Wall Street for these companies is staggering. Perhaps it’s time for the stockholder to take a smaller cut and CEOs to take a large cut in pay. CEOs making $50 million isn’t so bad but $90-$150 million is sinful when the average worker is making perhaps $25 an hour. Hospitals should be non-profit and emergency room visits should be cut by the use of Medical Units. There are ways to cut cost without hurting stockholders or CEOs! On a recent visit to Italy, I unfortunately contracted pneumonia. My hotel clerk sent me to the local “pharmacia,” or pharmacy, as we call them. At the pharmacia, I was examined by a doctor quite thoroughly and given antibiotics and a strong cough medicine. The cost was 8 euros, or around $8. Italy has socialized medicine! One has to wonder how do they do it? I have family from Canada and they tell me they are covered from the day they are born and all the talk about having to wait for major surgery is just talk! A friend from Germany tells me the same, as do others. Here in America, we are trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to health care. The people of the North Country put their faith in Rep. Elise Stefanik to be their spokesperson. Stefanik has done nothing but walk lockstep with Republicans to keep us from getting meaningful health care, and we need another to champion our cause. The fixes are easy but we need people in Washington to do what is right for all Americans not their friends on Wall Street. God bless America.
To the Editor: For a businessman, President Trump is woefully behind the times on the emerging markets of today. Rolling back the emission standards on cars, weakening rules protecting water and air, allowing new coal leasing on federal lands — these are all fiscally irresponsible. Instead of making America great again, these actions they will take us back decades, to a costlier, dirtier time. Smart business people analyze future markets carefully. For the president to say that environmental regulations — safeguarding the water and air we breath — has “killed coal” is not the full story. Coal is no longer economically competitive due to automation, competition from natural gas and renewables, reduced demand from China. Many states are closing their coal-powered plants, further reducing demand. The picture of the president, flanked by a line of young, hopeful coal miners behind him, breaks my heart. Training those young people to face their future with 21st century jobs is what he ought to be doing — not promising to go back to the 1960s. The rest of the world recognizes that a livable future on this planet is closely tied to a lowering of our carbon emissions to reduce climate change. Climate change is no longer tomorrow — its effects are happening today, from South Sudan to Kansas. Even the Department of Defense sees it as a destabilizing global occurrence. Most smart businesses, even oil and gas companies, recognize that investment in solar, wind and other renewables makes better fiscal and moral sense. Over the rest of the world, economies are transitioning to low carbon alternatives. The air people breath and the water they drink are getting cleaner. A year ago, global investments in solar and wind outpaced coal and gas two to one (Bloomberg). Clean energy (mostly solar) is now reaching the poor throughout the developing world. Rolling back regulations is old business, Mr. President. Get with the times.

To the Editor: The Fresh Air Fund looks forward to celebrating National Volunteer Week every year. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our inspiring volunteers, hosts and supporters in the Champlain Valley. Their continued dedication to our New York City children is exemplary, and truly embodies the spirit of National Volunteer Week, which is from April 23 to 29 this year. Fresh Air volunteers work in several capacities throughout the year along the East Coast and Southern Canada to help make The Fresh Air Fund’s programs possible. Fresh Air host families open their hearts and homes and share the everyday joys of summertime with their Fresh Air friends. Our local volunteer leaders — many of whom are also hosts — serve on our local committees, interview prospective host families, publicize the program, and plan summer activities. Additionally, individuals and local businesses give generously of their time and resources to make The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program throughout the Champlain Valley a great success each summer. The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children since 1877. For more information on how you can help to continue this tradition of volunteering, please call The Fresh Air Fund at 800-367-0003 or visit freshair.org.
really hate to be pessimistic. I also want to avoid being politically slanted, especially today when we see far too much of that in society and our temperament is wound a little too tight. Over the years that I’ve been writing this column I receive many reposted emails claiming one view point or another. I am equally offended by heavily slanted positions coming out of both the left and right. In my opinion, it is far better to report and talk about a known truth than to replay political ideologies that we’ve been force fed over the years. With that said I must confess I am becoming increasingly worried about our future and the lack of Americans banding together from both the left and the right to stand up and demand change. Based on people I’ve spoken with, they all are very passionate about defending their political perspective based on their political alignment. It’s not often I find individuals evenly balanced in the middle of our political landscape, willing to see things from a broad, open minded perspective. Blame it on all the talking heads, the bias of too many media organizations these days or the amount of misinformation that is sent through the internet or social media. Sadly we’ve become a society selfish enough that we all want what’s best for ourselves and so we cling to the information we want to be true and refuse to listen to anything contrary to that position. As a nation, we were founded on the notion that our basic rights are provided by a supreme being and that ordinary people are more than capable of governing themselves. The United States government had one primary purpose and that was to protect the rights of its private citizens. At the time we became a nation the world’s nations had been governed solely by an elite class, appointed or born to certain families, and that individual rights were granted and controlled only by those in power. I fear we are slowly abandoning the premise of our founding fathers in favor of turning the governing power over to a ruling elite class, while turning our backs on each other and the principles our ancestors fought so hard to preserve. We are under assault by a small but powerful and well funded population that intends to exploit the government powers for their own personal gain. We see it time and time again from large corporations, environmentalists, union leaders, entertainers and career politicians who very persuasively pursue their agendas in the name of democracy while leaving the rest us to fend for ourselves and pay for their gains. I feel like a broken record at times but it bears repeating: We all need to realize we only truly win when we all win together. A “you might win today but I’ll get you back later” approach isn’t doing anything for any of us. Our national psyche will be much better when we all start pulling together to accomplish those things of greatest importance.

CheersÊ toÊ cast,Ê crewÊ of Ê WillsboroÊ CentralÕ sÊ Ô [titleÊ of Ê show]Õ
CampgroundÊ developmentÊ couldÊ steerÊ awayÊ vacationers
To the Editor: This past weekend, we saw the amazing production of “[title of show].” Not only did the four young actors rightly translate a Tony award-nominated play on a small town stage, they were dauntless, inspiring in their enthusiasm and missed not a beat in the 90 minute, no intermission show. They sang, danced, stood on chairs and made us all believe we could recapture the rapture of reaching the stars if we also had a few friends, dedicated stage crew, musical director (Jennifer Moore) and director (Derrick Hopkins). Thank you everyone who enabled this performance to happen.
To the Editor: Myself and many of my friends and family are seasonal campers who mostly go to camp every weekend and for vacations. We spend money in the local stores and most consider this our second home or summer homes. Without the campgrounds and the money from the campers, no matter how many motels and hotels you build, the town will turn out like Fort Ann, Whitehall and Crown Point — the only traffic they will get is from people passing through. Building buildings like this only takes away from its natural beauty. If I wanted to vacation near a high rise building, I’d stay home.

Lake George’s Law Enforcement Weekend to honor officers’ sacrifices By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — A weekend retreat for law enforcement officers set for next month will now not only provide downtime for police and corrections officers, it will also offer respite and relaxation for two families who each lost a loved one to cancer attributed to their help in rescue and recovery efforts after terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center. The organizers of Law Enforcement Weekend, sent for May 19 through May 21 in Lake George, have arranged for the two families to have an expenses-paid getaway. The three-day event includes various family-oriented activities, fellowship, friendly competitions, and a memorial service for fallen officers, as well as seminars on police-related topics. The family of New York City Deputy Chief James Molloy, 55, who died in January, is to be attending the event. Molloy led search and rescue efforts at Ground Zero for six months following the 9/11 terror attacks. Also, the family of state trooper Brian Falb, who worked at Ground Zero for six weeks — and died of brain cancer several weeks ago — will be attending the weekend retreat, event vice president Austin Glickman said. “Our weekend will be highlighting the sacrifices these two men made not only for New York, but the entire nation,” he said. The Law Enforcement Weekend is forming a non-profit corporation, and donations are now being accepted towards providing families of fallen officers or those seriously injured in the line of duty all-expense-paid vacations. Brian Falb’s wife Mary Falb and their daughter Peyton, 21, visited Lake George recently to thank event organizers for providing the weekend getaway. Their family also includes Mor-
gan, 26; Sydney, 15; and Brian Jr., 12. “It’s amazing how everyone has come together for my dad,” Peyton Falb said at a gathering held April 4 in the Lake George Village hall. “It’s still so surreal to us,” Mary Falb said about the loss of her husband, who served as a state trooper for 18 years. “It will be nice to get out of the normalcy we’ve been experiencing lately,” she added, noting that the vacation to Lake George will have special meaning because Brian’s birthday is May 19. “The community been wonderful, but it’s difficult. It will be nice to get away, where we don’t know anyone, and Lake George is a beautiful area. We’ll be building on memories we have, as well as making new memories — it will be a special weekend.” Mary Falb said her family’s mini-vacation to Lake George will likely include a lake cruise as well as a visit to The Great Escape amusement park, where Brian Jr. will undoubtedly enjoy the roller coasters — of which his father was a devoted fan. “This means a lot to us,” she said. The weekend includes such activities as
Spaghetti dinner to benefit resident planned for April 8 MINERVA — There will be a community fundraiser and spaghetti dinner to benefit local Kylie Dimick at the Minerva Firehouse on April 8. Dimick’s father passed away from cancer when she was 12 years old. Her mother has since had a number of health issues. She and her mother are in danger of losing their home to back taxes. Organizers say that if insufficient funds are raised at the 4 p.m. dinner, the house funds will be used for relocation. For more information, contact Lynn Green at 251-2766.
golf, shooting competitions and practice, an armored vehicle pull, receptions, cruises and a barbecue. Also, the weekend will feature a comedy show with noted comedians, including a former police officer who was a semifinalist on America’s Got Talent television show. Registration is open to present, former or retired police officers, corrections officers and others involved in the field of law enforcement. The event was planned following the high profile shootings of both unarmed citizens and retaliatory attacks against police officers, with the thought of providing a retreat where law enforcement personnel could enjoy camaraderie and a stress-free getaway. To date, 42 registrations have been made for the weekend, which Blais said was less than expected, but he added that each registration might represent a half dozen people and several hotel room rentals. “Getting reservations has been a little bit of a challenge,” he said, adding that he expects many more to be received in the coming weeks. Amanda Metzger of the Lake George Chamber said the charitable aspect of providing a weekend respite for families of fallen

law officers was impressive. The charitable campaign had raised $675 as of Wednesday. “It’s fitting that the event is being held the weekend before Memorial Day,” she said. “The lineup of activities and events throughout the region is fantastic.” Chamber Special Events Director Kristen Hanifin added her thoughts. “It’s so good we can provide a respite for these families, providing a time to heal and to make new memories.” Nearly a dozen Warren County Sheriff ’s officers, their counterparts from Washington County, plus Glens Falls Police officers and a state corrections officer participated in the April 4 gathering, greeting Mary and Peyton Falb, voicing praise for Brian Falb and expressing their condolences. Mary Falb and Lake George Mayor Robert Blais shared a hug. “We’re honored you are participating,” he said. “Lake George will be a special place for you.” For event reservations and information — or to donate towards providing “Blue Star families” with a getaway, see: www.LEOweekend.com. Pictured above: Law Enforcement Officer Weekend organizer Austin Glickman introduces Mary Falb and her daughter Peyton Falb April 4 to media personnel and law enforcement officers who gathered to hear new information on the upcoming event in Lake George. Mary’s husband Brian Falb recently died of brain cancer, believed to be related to his six week’s rescue efforts at Ground Zero following the 9/11 New York City terrorist attacks. The Falb family will be attending the weekend free of charge, as people from across the nation have made donations to honor law officers who have sacrificed their lives in service to others.

Angermann will oversee all promotional and public relations efforts for the museum, which will open a new 19,000-square-foot interactive exhibition this summer. “Ausra’s mix of marketing, managerial and creative expertise will be a great asset for the museum in her new role,” said Adirondack Museum Executive Director David Kahn. Angermann’s previous experience spans communications and creative agencies as well as design studios, both in Connecticut and her native Canada.
