Inter-Lakes Health sells senior care, housing facilities Heritage Commons, MosesLudington Adult to become Elderwood at Ticonderoga

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Officials of Inter Lakes Health made it official last week, announcing the sale of the Heritage Commons Residential Health Care and Moses Ludington Adult Home facilities to Post Acute Partners, Inc. The deal, in which terms were not disclosed, will re-name the two facilities located inside the Moses Ludington Hospital building Elderwood at Ticonderoga.

“This was a transaction we feel is very favorable,” said Moses Ludington and University of Vermont Health Care Network - Elizabethtown Community Hospital interim CEO John Remillard said. “The Moses Ludington board was very pleased with this transaction.”

With the transaction, Remillard said all employees and current patients would be retained.

“It is the intention of Elderwood to have all of the current employees stay,” he said. “We had the head of human relations come in on Wednesday (May 25) and tell the employees that and speak to them. That was something that was important to the leadership and board, that the employees were treated fairly.”

MORIAH — Talk about unhappy campers.

A bill that would make it easier for campgrounds to evict unruly campers from campgrounds passed the state senate last week.

Sponsored by state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury), the legislation would add a new section to the state’s Real Property Law to “define campgrounds and campground owners and provide for the removal of persons from a campground who, among other things, creates a disturbance or violates a law.”

The proposed law also would provide for the return of prepaid fees and the disposal of property belonging to campers tossed from the facilities.

“Although not a frequent occurrence, sometimes a bad actor can ruin the experience for other campers enjoying a nice time and the only resolution is removing that person from the property,” said Little in a statement.

The legislation would also outline clear procedures between campground owners and law enforcement officials.

Stefanik talks POTUS race, VA controversy Congresswoman speaks to Elks, Rotarians in Ticonderoga

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — While not endorsing a candidate, freshman Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) did give her opinion on the 2016 presidential race during a meeting with members of the local Elks and Rotary Clubs at Emerald’s May 27.

“I am just surprised it took this long to get to the question,” Stefanik joked as someone asked for her opinion on the race toward the end of a question-and-answer session which was part of the luncheon of the two organizations.

Stefanik said she noticed a theme in not only the contest, but trickling down into senate and congressional races.

“You are seeing outsiders,” she said. “You are seeing frustration of the status quo. Sanders and Trump won this district and it is something you pay attention to.”

Stefanik said no matter a person’s political allegiance, there are exciting parts to the political season.

“I am excited to see that more people are voting,” she said. “That is what we need as part of our democracy is as many people voting as can.

“I am disappointed in the media coverage because the are not covering the substance of policies,” Stefanik added.

While talking about the race, Stefanik did

not offer an endorsement.

“I decided in 2014 I’m going to focus on my job and being a voice for this district,” she said.

VA controversy Stefanik, a member of the Armed Services Committee, also addressed the comments made last week by Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Bob McDonald, who said in talking about extensive wait times for veterans in need of medical services: “When you go to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line? Or what’s important?...

What’s important is, what’s your satisfaction with the experience?”

“I have asked for his apology,” Stefanik said. “I don’t think that someone like that should not be the secretary of the VA.” Stefanik talked about helping a veteran from Willsboro who had been denied treatment through the VA program get into a hospital and have the care covered by the country he served.

“I think it’s bad when you compare something like this to waiting in line at Disneyland,” she concluded.

Stefanik said she is also working in her position to help local veterans who are faced with long drives and wait times, themselves, when seeking care.

McDonald has since apologized for his comments.

The availability of medically-supervised detox providers is critical for helping addicts who want to quit using, say experts. But wide gaps exist in the current system, such as the time period between when an addict makes the decision to get clean and when a bed at a detox facility becomes available.

Aside from a St. Joseph’s-run program in Saranac Lake,

addicts have to travel to Potsdam and Albany for slots in already-taxed facilities.

The rural nature prevents even more of a struggle — including finding transportation — when addicts are in active withdrawal, which experts say presents agonizing flu-like symptoms.

TICONDEROGA — A state task force is poised to deliver a series of legislative proposals to combat the state’s heroin epidemic as early as Wednesday.

“We have been looking at about 25 to 30 recommendations that are going to be very comprehensive that identify specific areas,” said Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul last week.

For the past two weeks, Hochul has been leading a series of task forces around the state. The eight-person team, consisting of the state’s top law enforcement, healthcare and drug treatment brass, stopped in Lake Placid last week, the sixth of eight planned sessions.

Their recommendations, Hochul said, are likely to follow the four-pronged approach cited by other state and federal authorities as being necessary to stomp out the epidemic: prevention, treatment, recovery, law enforcement — perhaps even insurance reform.

“Today’s focus really was on the specific needs of the rural communities,” Hochul said.

A panel of local experts testified in front of the group, which was designed, said Hochul, for experts to share their wish lists and sound off on state policy: “If you were the governor of the state of New York, what specific changes in law, policy or legislation would you propose that we enact to deal with this crisis?” Hochul asked.

Their answers: Greater access to recovery centers, detox centers and insurance reform.

Sale of homes marks start of new era at Inter-Lakes State-backed ‘medical campus’ to start being a reality

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — With the sale of the Heritage Commons Residential Health Care and Moses Ludington Adult Home to Post Acute Partners, Inc., leaders at Inter-Lakes Health believe this will help lead to the creation of a medical campus here.

“This sets the stage for the creation of a medical village,” said Moses Ludington and University of Vermont Health NetworkElizabethtown Community Hospital interim CEO John Remillard.

“This is one of the four major components we are looking at for the long term care,” Remillard added. “When all the transformation takes place over the next year or so, at the end, the community has a set of health related services that will provide high quality care and meet the needs of the community.”

While the first major step was the sale of the two senior housing and care facilities to the New York City-based providers, ILH has also benefited from a $9.149 million investment from the state’s Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP) for renovations at the Ticonderoga campus.

“The state has shown and said it feels it is

City, also recently purchased the Uihlein Living Center in Saranac Lake. The group was one of several companies in the mix for the purchase of the two senior care facilities, as was Centers Health Care, which has purchased local nursing homes which were formerly run by county governments, including the former Horace Nye Nursing Home (now Essex Center) in Elizabethtown and Westmount Nursing Home in Warren County.

important to have these services in Ticonderoga and that we are going to support you do that,” Remillard said. “The state believes a small, isolated independent hospital has a hard time standing alone. In this, the state has shown it’s support for the decisions the ILH board has made.”

The first component, Remillard said, has been taking care of with the purchase of the senior housing and care units by Post Acute Partners, which he said would ensure quality long term care on the campus.

The next, according to Remillard, is focusing on the renovation of their emergency department.

“We will continue to have the major services on site with an emergency room, lab, xray, physical therapy, pharmacy and visiting physician space which will be reconstructed,” Remillard said. “We will also have the ability with the renovations to have a four-bed observation area in the emergency room for patients.”

The outpatient services of Moses Ludington Hospital will be operated under the direction of UVM-ECH. The in-patient component of Moses Ludington Hospital will be closed down (on May 27, there were no patients in the hospital wing) and will be replaced by a primary care

“Centers for Specialty Care was a player in this,” Remmilard said. “In the end, Elderwood was the best fit for us.”

Remillard did reference quotes made by Moriah Town Supervisor Tom Scozzafava last year during a public hearing on the future of the homes when he told members of the ILH board to “be careful” who they sold to.

“Elderwood from all we have seen from state reporting is an excellent provider of these services and have an excellent name in the community,” Remillard said.

Just like other recent transactions involving nursing home care, ILH and Elderwood will have to wait for the state to approve a change in the Certificate of Need.

“We are hoping to conclude this within six to nine months,” Remillard said. “We have had conversations with leaders at the Department of Health and they are in total agreement with our whole plan and are willing to assist in expediting the process.”

Currently, Heritage Commons and Moses Ludington Adult Homes are operating with-

component which would include a new medical building on the campus.

“We want to bring primary care and physician services onto the campus by partnering with Hudson Headwaters Health Network and the UVM network,” Remillard said. “We are making plans which will include renovations plus an addition to bring primary care onto the campus.”

The fourth area of service for the ILH medical campus will be the continued operation of the Lord Howe Estates and Moses Circle Senior Housing.

“If I were a senior or had to make the decision to house a senior here, I would feel very confident because the doctor is close by, there is an emergency room on the campus and they can get any testing they need or see a specialist,” Remillard said.

While officials believe this four-tiered plan will be the backbone for the medical plaza, they sky could be the limit.

“This is a new concept with a lot of promise,” Remillard said.

“Having a village like this creates a lot of opportunity to bring other medical services into the village,” Communications Director Jane Hooper said.

One of those potential additions could be the return of a dental complex.

“I am working on dental, that is a service that we think absolutely fits and we feel it is something which deserves to be here on campus.” out a director. Remillard said he and Elderwood are working together to remedy the issue.

“We will hire a new director with help from Elderwood who will come in while we are still operating the facility and who will transition over with the sale.”

ON THE COVER: Employees at the Moses Ludington Adult Homes and Heritage Commons will be offered the chance to keep the jobs at the sites now that the sale of the two facilities has happened.

W

e have seen the enemy, and sadly it is us!

Welcome to the tricky world of Ransom Ware.

Yep, they got us. Some how, some way, somebody let them into our system, most likely with an innocent looking piece of email. They got past our safety nets and invaded several of our machines here at the newspaper office. All it took was one employee to open the wrong file and we were cooked.

Even more shocking, as we communicated with other newspapers around the state and country we discovered we were not alone. We just were not warned by a friendly source that we were so incredibly vulnerable.

Fortunately, in our case they encrypted nothing of value. No customer accounting information, news content, mailing lists, or creative copy were compromised.

Nevertheless, our failure was comfort. We’ve been eased into thinking our automatic backup procedures, protection software, mirrored drives and strong passwords were enough to ward off becoming a target.

Besides, what kind of value could our files hold that would be worth a skilled hacker’s time to even attempt to con money out of us?

Well, we taught them and thing or two. They encrypted our files and asked for BitCoin payment. We never even asked how much or made any attempt to communicate with them. We deleted the drives, figured we learned a valuable lesson and went about our business figuring out how we could replace our lost files by starting over.

We now know the safest way to protect against this stuff is to make good old fashion frequent, manual backups to thumb drives, or separate hard drives. Then disconnect them from the computer or server and put them somewhere safe, preferably off-site.

Should you then receive a message or find the next time you turn your computer on and it starts speaking, you can relax because one of the prior backups should be safe and you can easily restore your files.

We’ve turned over all our affected hard disks to the FBI for investigation.

Perhaps the most aggravating aspect of the experience was their closing comment: “The project is created for the sole purpose of instruction regarding the information security, as well as certification of anti-virus software for their suitability for data protection.

Together we make the Internet a better and safer place.

Have a nice day.”

Take a hard look at the third party

S

ummer is here.

The sweet, sweet heat coincides with the final week of the presidential primary calendar.

Let’s take stock: Donald Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee. Early on, the toughtalking real estate developer clobbered his way to the front of the pack, ultimately beating out 16 primary challengers by way of insults, leveraging the nonstop media coverage generated by his campaign and having the sheer luck of running in a cycle during which working class voters were finally able to see through their steady diet of spoonfed bull.

Across the aisle, Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, is widely expected to seal the deal after the polls close in New Jersey next Tuesday, finally garnering enough delegates to put her over the top in the pledged delegate count.

In doing so, Clinton will finally have put a stake through the heart of Bernie Sanders, the socialist who just won’t seem to go away, his campaign now running on fumes and conspiracy theories.

Oh dear. With five months until the general election, we can now look forward to endless discussion of electoral maps, rubbish about party building and healing and skeletons being dredged to the surface.

The two candidates will also pander every which way imaginable for your vote.

Yes, yours.

Thing is, despite these two coming out on top, we still don’t like them.

An ABC News/Washington Post poll released last week revealed both candidates have soaring unfavorables — like, really, really high.

Sixty percent of voters have an unfavorable view of Trump.

Clinton is at 53 percent, making her the most disliked Democratic candidate in modern history.

If the numbers hold, these two will have the highest unfavorable ratings since 1984.

This queasiness is on full-display.

Since Trump ran away from the pack on Super Tuesday, Republicans have been engaged in a very public work-through of the Five Stages of Grief as they digest a standard-bearer who has rewritten the political playbook — leaving them out of it.

The profane pugilist has managed to capture their party’s nomination despite, well, having a philosophy — if you could even call it that — that is completely unhinged from GOP orthodoxy, and in fact, is no more cognizant than that of your average toddler.

Adding further insult, Trump continues to lobs grenades at the party establishment, making his candidacy the equivalent of a dumpster fire.

The Democrats, for their part, are left with the unenviable problem of bringing the disaffected left flank of their party into the fold behind a candidate who fails to ignite the sense of passion needed to win their party a third term.

Above all, Clinton is simply untrustworthy, as evidenced by last week’s report by the state department’s inspector general that revealed lie after lie after lie when it comes to her private email server.

So really, what’s to like about these two?

The good news is we needn’t settle for supporting either a walking id with a Mussolini complex or a craven political opportunist who probably belongs behind bars.

There are alternatives.

Just this past weekend, the Libertarian Party settled on their ticket, nomi-

nating former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson as their presidential candidate, and Gov. William Weld, former two-term governor of Massachusetts, as his running mate.

With a slogan of “minimum government, maximum freedom,” the party essentially views government as the problem, not the solution, to the country’s ills.

At the complete opposite end of the spectrum, holding the belief that the government plays a central role in improving the lives of Americans, the Green Party appears to again be coalescing behind Dr. Jill Stein, a Massachusetts physician, as their candidate.

Why not look into their platforms?

Considering the alternatives, the disaffected party faithful should find a lot to love.

After all, Sanders supporters owe the Democrats nothing. After managing to push Clinton to the left, why stand by her as she creeps back toward the center?

By that same token, Republicans who have spent their lives adhering to tried-and-true GOP values that their candidate has shown no inclination of supporting — from trade and foreign policy, economic issues like the minimum wage to his position on the Second Amendment — also owe their party nothing.

But, in a sense, that’s besides the point.

Voters who describe themselves as independent are at a record high of 43 percent, according to Gallup.

Yet another poll by the Wall Street Journal and NBC News revealed 47 percent of Americans would consider voting for a third-party candidate this year.

Those numbers essentially correlate to the aforementioned unfavorables.

Now, more than ever, seems like a ripe environment for change — or at least an emergence from a prolonged political torpor.

Americans owe it to themselves to take a hard look at these third-party candidates.

We must protect New Yorkers from the dangers of e-cigarettes

Little Bits

Linda Beers> Director of Public Health

Bear Claws

lbeers@co.essex.ny.us

Gordie Little

U

nder the New York Clean Indoor Air Law, New Yorkers have been successfully protected from the risks of secondhand exposure to combustible cigarette smoke when we work, shop, and dine at a restaurant. The health of New Yorkers could again be at risk when we are forced to do these same activities near someone using an e-cigarette. It is time for our state legislators to pass the bill including e-cigarettes in the Clean Indoor Air Act. E-cigarette use is of serious concern to the public health community. Use of e-cigarettes by kids is rising rapidly, with e-cigarette use among kids tripling in just one year. When they see adults using e-cigarettes it encourages them to start or continue this risky habit. They may also bridge to the use of combustible cigarettes. This is a huge public health concern, as young people who smoke are at risk for life-long addiction to nicotine, reduced lung growth and function, and early cardiovascular damage.

From 2011 to 2014, past 30-day use of e-cigarettes increased nine-fold for high school students (1.5% to 13.4%) and more than six-fold for middle school students (0.6% to 3.9%). Regular e-cigarette use among high school students (10.5%) is nearly twice that of adults over age 25 (5.7%). Exposure to nicotine in any form can have lasting effects on adolescent brain development.

Electronic cigarette aerosol is NOT harmless “water vapor” and is NOT as safe as clean air. E-cigarette aerosol can contain nicotine and other potentially harmful chemicals, including heavy metals, ultra-fine particulates, and

Columnist

T

cancer-causing agents.

Firsthand exposure to the aerosol comes from personal use of an e-cigarette. Secondhand exposure occurs when the user exhales the aerosol, exposing a nonuser nearby. Studies have shown the use of e-cigarettes can cause short-term lung changes and irritation, while the long-term effects are unknown. Preliminary studies show that nonusers can be exposed to the same potentially harmful chemicals as users, which is particularly problematic for vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women, and people with certain medical conditions.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approving a final rule extending its authority to cover all products that meet the definition of a tobacco product, including e-cigarettes. I ask both houses of the New York State Legislature and Governor Cuomo follow suit and include e-cigarettes in New York’s Clean Indoor Air Law.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

EveryoneÊ canÊ winÊ withÊ compromise To the Editor: It is worth pointing out again that Port Henry began the process of dissolution by approval of only 19 votes over those who disapproved, with 200plus voters not participating in the October 2015 referendum. Clearly, not a landslide. Now, with a highly successful petition of 221 valid signatures, Port Henry has gained the right to vote on the advisory dissolution plan.

It was stated at numerous public hearings that if the plan was voted down, the dissolution process would stop. Only then could Port Henry explore coterminous.

Until the idea of coterminous came out, it seemed as though there were only two sides; dissolution or not. Now there is a third option that would provide what we all want. Everyone wants tax relief. Everyone wants Port Henry to prosper. Everyone wants to feel secure in their future living here.

Everyone wants a fair government that works for the best interests of its citizens.

Really, we are all on the same side. The door to better solutions would never have opened without the push for dissolution. Instead of either “save the village” or “dissolve the village”, a safer choice would be for Port Henry to become a Town-Village with a single new government and a single tax.

This appeals to new businesses and is a true savings for tax payers. Port Henry would maintain its assets, its grant opportunities, and have a legal and binding charter with the state of New York.

Over the next few months as the permissive referendum date approaches, please consider that dissolution is final. If it doesn’t work well, there is no going back. Vote the plan down. Let’s move toward a better and more secure future.

IÊ wasÊ strippedÊ of Ê myÊ rightsÊ atÊ ThurmanÊ meeting To the Editor: Thank you for this opportunity to voice my concerns.

On the evening of May 10, I attended a town board meeting at the Thurman town hall. Ms. Wood, Town of Thurman Supervisor, denied me my right to speak during the “freedom of the floor” session.

Let me explain.

I waited for the “freedom of the floor” session to start. The meeting was very heated almost from the start: many residents had concerns with the recent actions of the town supervisor and of some board members, the very reasons I chose to voice my concerns that night.

When the time came, Ms. Wood opened the session of “freedom of the floor.”

Many hands went up. One by one, Ms. Wood identified each person and allowed each person a chance to speak. This took quite a while, for a lot of people wanted to speak.

The board took a lot of criticism. I waited patiently until I felt everyone had a chance. I raised my hand and stood up.

At that point, Ms. Wood called on me saying, “Yes, Mr. Parent?”

Before I could start speaking, Ms. Wood turned to board member Gail Seaman and said, “We should close freedom of the floor.”

Gail Seaman said, “I will make that motion.”

Ms. Wood said, “The session is closed.”

Ms. Wood then looked at me and said, “Sorry, Keith.”

I stood there stripped of my rights: No second to the motion, no vote of the town board - Ms. Wood acted on her own! She makes her own rules on the fly.

I feel Ms. Wood had gotten her fill of criticism and she didn’t want to hear from another resident she was sure was going to tell the town board of his dissatisfaction. If you did things in a more appropriate manner, you would not get so much criticism. You should do for the majority, not just a few select friends.

hanks to my friend, Jerry Rambach, my girth prevents me from seeing my feet. Does anyone else have that problem?

I lay it all to Yum Yums.

When he first started delivering them to the radio station where I worked, I called them sugarglazed crullers. He called them Yum Yums. They were to die for. Of course his Australian Tea Cake was no slouch, either.

I chose to eat those confectionary delights on the air while I adlibbed Jerry’s commercials every morning. Between mouthfuls, we would talk about NY Giants football and his uncle who played for in the 1940s.

I was regaled with descriptions of legendary tailgate parties at the stadium where, I’m certain, Yum Yums were in evidence, along with steaks and hamburgers.

The Rambachs became family and we were honored to celebrate many special occasions together. A story Jerry told me about an elderly, former owner of his farm in Saranac, became an instant hit with me and my column readers.

Since leaving radio, Jerry and I left those daily chats behind, but have managed to remain in touch by other means. Those are the kinds of friendships I cherish almost more than any other.

They last lifetimes and beyond.

I never asked Jerry if he invented Yum Yums, but I’m sure his were unique. If Guinness had a world’s record for the most consumed by an overweight radio personality, I guess I would take first prize—hopefully a dozen Yum Yums.

That brings me to Bear Claws.

Don’t ask me how. It just seems like a natural segue. My friend Les Bradford sent me an e-mail describing some he and Helga purchased recently at a shop north of the Canadian border.

He called them Bear Signs.

Well, that conjured up an immediate mental image that took me a little off my feed. Then, it dawned on me what the heck he was talking about. For Kaye and me, they were always referred to as Bear Claws—different image completely.

So, of course, I jumped onto the famous Internet and checked it out. We were both right. He said he got his Bear Sign information from old time Western novels. Who knows where I got mine. But at least we didn’t call them Bear Scat. I haven’t had a Bear Sign or Bear Claw in a long time. I must find a place that makes them.

We recently spent 21 days in Myrtle Beach. While gone, I pondered about how long my yard grass would be. I shouldn’t have. Les loaded up his push mower and trimmer and chopped it all down nicely.

Then, he did it again, meeting up with a friend named Wilfred and repeating the grooming procedure. I felt blessed with such magnanimity.

Yum Yums, Bear Signs and the Green Green Grass of Home. Who could ask for anything more?

PRIDE of Ticonderoga: over 30 years of service TICONDEROGA — A $300,000 grant through the NYS Homes and Community Renewal was received for the rehabilitation of downtown buildings many of which are underway. Renovations include facade, roofs, windows and doors and commercial and residential spaces. The grant covers 75 percent of a project with 25 percent funded by the property owner/s.

“This translates into a substantial commitment by our downtown building and business owners to the revitalization of Ticonderoga,” said Sharon Reynolds, Executive Director.

A $400,000 grant through the NYS Housing Trust Fund was received for the rehabilitation of 15 single-family homes for income qualified homeowners. PRIDE has assisted homeowners in Ticonderoga, Hague, Putnam and Whitehall for decades investing over 5 million dollars into housing rehabilitation. “Our goal and mission is to assist homeowners, many of which are aging or who are struggling to keep up with costly home repairs can stay in their homes for years to come,” said Reynolds.

PRIDE assists the Town of Ticonderoga and other municipalities with grant writing and administration as well as supports local non-profit organizations through grant writing and project support.

The Reconstruction of the 18th Century

French Sawmill is alive and well. A project that will create jobs and provide an important tourism destination for towns and villages in the Ticonderoga region, has been under the leadership of PRIDE since 2009. Founder and owner of Rondout Woodworking, Jim Kricker has been working on the sawmill project and has completed the research and design components for the reconstruction and will be the consultant that will be producing the construction drawings in the near future. “We are currently at a critical stage and are in the process of meeting with all our organizational partners for input in how the sawmill will operate when the sawmill becomes a reality,” said John Bartlett, President of PRIDE. Another project that PRIDE continues to be involved with is the enhancement of the LaChute River Trail. PRIDE is administering a grant for the Town of Ticonderoga for the engineering to construct a connecting trail from the end of the existing trail to the entrance of the trestle which will eliminate pedestrians from having to access Lake George Avenue. Once the engineering is completed, PRIDE will continue to seek funding to construct the walking and biking connector.

To learn more about PRIDE’s Projects or to receive a newsletter, contact PRIDE at 585-6366 or info@prideofticonderoga.org.

county and borough.”

But the problems don’t stop when an addict finds a bed — cost is also an issue. Insurance companies typically often cover only five days of detox or inpatient services up front as part of managed care plans. Haggling might grant the patient a few additional days (but also eats up the time and energy of medical professionals, Wille said).

Kicking patients loose so early on in the recovery increases the chances of relapse, Wille said.

“Intervention with insurance companies is needed yesterday,” said Wille. “This is a very complex disease, and we need some complex treatment services returned to it.”

St. Joseph’s CEO Robert Ross agreed access to nearby detox centers is key and called for insurance companies to be more flexible for detox services in their managed care plans.

Wille said insurance companies should be forced to pay for one of three FDA-approved medications that treat opiate addiction. The upfront cost for medication-assisted treatment, Wille added, is “far less” than incarcerations, hospitalizations and death.

It’s also not uncommon for an impatient

referral to be denied, Wille said: “We are not referring inpatient if a client doesn’t need it.”

Wille also said a locator is needed to connect patients with support providers once released from inpatient rehab.

Community education employee retention issues — staffers often leave the nonprofit world for state jobs — must also be addressed, as well as providing housing for pregnant addicts (Every mother who has participated in existing programs offered by the network, Wille said, has delivered a healthy baby).

Barry Brogan, of the North Country Behavioral Healthcare Network, echoed the need for qualified staffers: “There needs to be better ways to move people into that as a career opportunity,” he said.

Essex County Public Health Director Linda Beers highlighted movements underway in Essex County, where a coalition received $120,000 state health foundation grant designed to address the epidemic.

The two-year funding package, which aligns with state and federal efforts to deploy resources to local communities, contains funds to hire a part-time staffer.

Beers asked the state to consider funding similar coalitions across the state. The director also called for needle exchange programs, which have proven to slow the spread of com-

municable diseases.

“We want one desperately,” Beers said of a needle drop box.

EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM Jefferson County Sheriff Colleen O’Neill painted a picture of a community struggling with pervasive gloom.

“I think my community was at the point where they thought it was almost hopeless,” said O’Neill, recalling when she first took office in January 2013.

Hundreds of residents had gathered at a community forum, “desperate to learn how they could help their loved ones.”

The Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Department, like others across the state, is stretched thin.

To date, the state has spent $3.5 million on narcan, an anti-overdose medication. A further 100,000 state residents have been trained in its usage The efforts have worked, O’Neill said. In just six weeks, the antidote has saved the lives of 16 people in Jefferson County.

O’Neill hopes the emergence of another medication will put another dent in the epidemic.

In 6 to 8 weeks, the Jefferson County Jail will launch an experimental medical program

that will administer vivitrol, a medication designed to block the high caused by opiates, to prisoners, who are vulnerable to relapse following their release.

O’Neill, who met with the state Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse to discuss the project after learning of successes in other jurisdictions, said she was encouraged by early trials and urged the panel to monitor the outcome to see if the program could be expanded statewide to all appropriate facilities “If that’s a statewide trend, I would encourage everyone to get involved in that,” O’Neill.

FAST TIMELINE Hochul expected movement on the package of proposals to be swift.

“We’re literally going to present to the governor by June 1 a set of recommendations,” she said.

The state legislature has until the end of their session on June 16 to debate and approve the bills.

This year’s $154 billion executive budget has allocated $1.2 billion to the state Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse.

“So the numbers of our effort are significant,” said Cuomo last week at the forum in Staten Island, “but frankly nothing compared to what I believe we’re going to have to do.”

The Moriah juniors participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Special Olympics Wednesday, May 25, at Moriah Central School. Both boys said they

were excited to be picked.

“Christina Slattery from Moriah shock called and told us about the run and asked if the boys would like to do the run,” said mother Becky Cutting. “It is an honor for them to do it. It is great to see the students and staff at the Moriah Central support them. Todd and Dakotah go out and support them in everything and it is nice to see the tables reversed.”

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is running its 30th year in New York State. This is a statewide relay. This is law enforcement is carrying the Torch of hope.

“Christina Slattery this areas leg’s coordinator, daughter attends Moriah Central

and knows these boys. They got us in touch with them,” said Erin McCartan, the Law Enforcement Torch Run coordinator. “This is a local tie between local law officers and this school.”

CATS hikes slated to celebrate local trails Events slated for National Trails Day on June 4

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

MINEVILLE — Champlain Area Trails is encouraging the public to celebrate National Trails Day June 4 with a hike through local terrain, starting in Mineville.

Every year on the first Saturday in June, people across the country attend events that help promote trail awareness.

This marks the 7th year CATS has been celebrating the occasion.

For this event, hikers are invited to the Mineville Ironore Man Hike up Cheney Mountain in Moriah at 8:45 a.m.

The Moriah Chamber of Commerce started the trail in 2012.

While the 1.5 mile hike is relatively easy, said Chamber President Cathy Sprague, “the views are spectacular when

the legislation.

If approved, the law will allow private campgrounds to better compete with their state-owned counterparts, which are patrolled by state agents.

The legislation isn’t aimed at weekend warriors, said Don Bennett, CONY President and CEO, but rather long-term renters who rent space over an entire season.

In doing so, they often make the argument that the campgrounds serve as their summer homes.

Once those citations enter the courtroom, magistrates often side with the camper over the campground, citing existing domicile laws. Law enforcement officials are then reluctant to get involved, view-

ing the matter as a civil issue.

“Although they are technically licensees, courts often provide them with rights that are afforded to tenants in a landlord and tenant relationship,” wrote Peter B. O’Connell, CONY’s legislative counsel, in a memo in support of the bill.

“Worse yet, other courts sometimes provide them with rights that are afforded to tenants in mobile home parks — where it is necessary to provide 90 days notice prior to obtaining a warrant of eviction.” “[The legislation] would give them the ability to demonstrate that it is not their domicile,” Bennett said.

A person remaining on the campground could be guilty of trespass and removed by law enforcement.

Moriah Supervisor Tom

you get up.”

For the second hike of the day, CATS has put together the “Over the Mountain to Lake Champlain Hike,” an event designed to promote hiking from hamlet to hamlet, Maron said.

The day’s 13 mile trail will take hikers from Mineville to Camp Dudley. Maron said participants are to park at the camp and will be shuttled to the beginning.

The full length for this trail, said Maron, is for the day’s use only and the route is good for beginners with a portion on a seasonal dirt road and a section through the woods. The last stretch is road-walking and offers a “scenic view” of Lake Champlain.

The annual celebration will be held at Camp Dudley, where Maron said CATS discuss the trails and what they’ve been doing and “thank people who have supported us.”

Maron said he will also be speaking about his experiences walking 207 miles in France.

He said he wanted to learn lessons about what they do and Scozzafava agreed seasonal renters can present a sticky dilemma.

But removal seldom poses an issue in his community, he said.

“We usually just throw them out,” Scozzafava said.

Scozzafava, a former manager of the Bulwagga Bay RV Park & Campground, said following eviction, management would usually prorate the bill and refund the remaining balance.

The bigger issue at Bulwagga Bay, he said, is when campers drift to other area campgrounds following an initial eviction.

A companion bill is sponsored by Assemblyman Steve Englebright of Long Island.

The legislation comes as the region prepares to shake off the rust of winter and welcome the influx of summer tourists.

how “to apply it to here.” One thing he learned was they use roads as part of their trails, which helped inspire this year’s celebratory hike.

Maron said they want “the trails to extend all the way to Ticonderoga and beyond.”

The group eventually hopes to find alternative trail routes that include usable abandoned roads.

ESSEX — Girl power!

Crown Point Central School recently hosted their second annual Girls’ Summit at the College for Every Student Center in Essex.

“It’s all about empowering our ladies to be leaders,” said English teacher Rachael Leclaire-Charron of the daylong summit attended by seventh through ninth graders. “It’s about teaching them to make good decisions, work well with others and how to get through difficult situations that life may throw their way.”

A series of sessions covered everything from coping with stress to the dangers presented by social media.

When discussing self-esteem, body image and healthy living, the girls erupted into laughter as they learned a new technique for de-stressing, yelling “Ha!” repeatedly as loud as they could.

In their session about healthy relationships and conflict resolution, the majority of one group identified trust as being a key

element in a healthy relationship.

While enjoying a catered lunch, the girls received a dining etiquette lesson. Some of the girls who attended last year said they still remembered last year’s session.

Newcomers said the knowledge of what do to do at “fancy dinner” will some in handy.

Ninth grader Emily Russell, ninth grade, said the lesson on relaxation techniques could be applied at home.

Russell said she also really enjoyed the “girl time,” laughing as she said she has a bunch of brothers at home.

Many of the girls seemed to share her sentiment.

CFES spokesman Aubrey Bresett said the organization hopes the girls walk away with their heads “a little higher, knowing there are no limitations for them.”

Set sail in Schroon as Hobi Cat Regatta planned mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — The first Hobie Cat Regatta is scheduled to sail into Schroon Lake next month.

Expect the waters to be full of lightweight, multi-hull sailboats with brightly colored sails.

The boats will take to the water at about 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 18.

This event is sponsored by the Schroon Lake Association in collaboration with Hobie Cat Fleet 204 from Oneida Lake in Onondaga County.

The boats will circle the course, which runs between the Boathouse Beach and the World of Life Island, twice.

The winners of each class will be determined at the finish line, said SLA rep Glen Repko. The process will be repeated, with as many races

as possible completed by the end of the race day.

Watching the race is an enjoyable experience, Repko said, with “the most brilliantly colored sails screaming across the waves of the lake.”

“What a vantage point to watch a sailboat race, sitting on the hillside overlooking the lake,” he wrote.

Over 20 boats have registered so far.

TO ENTER THE RACE Registration will begin at the Boathouse on Friday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. and will continue Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m.

Participants must be a member of the Hobie Racing Association and carry liability insurance in the amount of $100,000, which is standard for racing vessels.

Non-members may join at the time of registration for $30. A class for newbies will

be given at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday and the boats will take to the water at 10:30 a.m.

A modified schedule will run on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Scores will be tallied and trophies awarded once the boats return to shore.

Lake George is one of the most pristine and treasured waterbodies in the Northeast if not the country, and it is enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of recreational use trends on Lake George which will aid in long-term planning initiatives and public safety efforts on the water. This study, jointly funded by the Lake George Park Commission and the Lake George Association, was conducted by the LA Group in Saratoga working with the Sienna Research Institute.

“The Lake George Association is pleased to partner with the Lake George Park Commission on the water recreation study,” said Walt Lender, Executive Director of the Lake George Association.

“We all enjoy Lake George’s many recreational offerings–fishing, boating, paddling, swimming. And we need to find the best way to balance these while still protecting our amazing natural resource and remarkable water quality. This document will inform all of us who are making decisions about managing the lake and protecting it by providing the latest and best information out there.”

The LGA contributed $25,000 to this important effort.

Stahl claims first golf crown for Moriah

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

SANTA CLARA — While day one was not as close in deciding a team champion, day two needed extra holes to determine the Section VII individual champion.

Moriah sophomore Joey Stahl was up to the extra challenge, paring both playoff holes, the Par 4 first and Par 5 18th, ending the chances of Lake Placid’s Bjorn Kroes in the individual championship.

Both golfers were in the first group to tee off day one and last to tee off on day two, with Stahl shooting a 75 on day one (tied for the first day lead with Saranac Lake’s Zack Ellsworth) and Kroes a 76.

Stahl dropped his score by one stroke on day two with a 74, while Kroes went three lower with a one-over par 73 to set up the extra holes.

“He took the lead when I doubled 13,” Stahl said. “I was able to get a stroke back when Bjorn shot a bogie on 15 (tying the match). After that, my goal was to par every hole and if he got a birdie, that was great for him.”

On the first playoff hole, which was hole 1, Stahl found himself in a deep fairway bunker off his tee shot, while Kroes was in the middle of the fairway.

“I knew he was going to be on the green somewhere with his second, and I wanted to try and get close,” Stahl said. “I kinda topped the ball and it rolled out of the trap and I had a long third shot.”

Indeed, Kroes was on the green with his second, putting the pressure on Stahl, who responded with a third shot which ended up eight feet from the stick, leaving him a downhill putt.

Kroes missed his first putt and settled for par, setting up Stahl with one putt to keep the match alive.

“I had to make mine,” Stahl said. “It was right-to-left and halfway there I was pretty sure it was going in.”

The ball did go in the hole, sending the duo to the 18th for a second time. This time, it was Kroes in trouble off the tee, sending his ball left into a area of trees near the first green.

Stahl went down the middle on his drive, but went long on his second shot, putting it in a deep, green-side bunker.

“It was okay because I was hitting three out and he was hitting four,” Stahl said. “I putt my shot onto the back fringe, then putted to within five feet.” with Kroes lying five, Stahl hit is putt for par, ending the match.

“It was an unbelievable feeling and a relief at the same time,” Stahl said. “It’s a huge accomplishment and I have spent so much time at the course working on my game it’s great to have it pay off like this.”

Stahl and Kroes will lead the top golfers in Section VII to Ithaca for the NYSPHSAA championships June 4-6 at the Cornell Golf Course.

Section VII champion Joe Stahl tees off on the first hole at the Saranac Inn Golf Course May 27. Stahl shot a two-day total of 149, tying with Lake Placid’s Bjorn Kroes before defeating him on the second playoff hole.

Day one co-leader Ellsworth shot an 83 on day two, finishing with a score of 158, while three golfers — Gavin Plympton of Peru (78-82), Tristin Fitzgerald of Saranac Lake (8278) and Drew Maiorca of Lake Placid (84-76) each finished at 160. Saranac Lake’s Mike Rice followed with a 79-82-161, while AuSable Valley’s Nate Devins (80-84) shot a 164 and Moriah’s Kyle Wilson (84-82) a 166.

Saranac Lake’s Tanner Courcelle will serve as an alternate for the team, but earned All Star status with rounds of 86 and 83 for a two-day total of 169.

In the team championship, the top-ranked Blue Bombers were unable to keep pace with rival Saranac Lake, whose top four scores carded a 322 score, 14 ahead of Lake Placid’s 336.

Peru followed with a 340, while AuSable Valley followed in fourth at 344.

Lady Sentinels back atop Class C hill

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — For the first four innings, Savannah Bezon flashed the leather to keep the Ticonderoga varsity softball team in the game against the AuSable Valley Lady Patriots.

Starting in the bottom of the Fourth, Bezon also supplied the offense, driving in the goahead run which would lead the Sentinels to a 9-3 win over the Patriots in the Section VII/ Class C championship game.

“I was so focused and wanted to do this so bad,” Bezon said. “We have been working all week and all season to get back here and it is great to have everything work out.”

After a walk, error and sacrifice had tied the game 1-1 and put a runner on second with one out for the Patriots in the top of the second, Karissa Stevens hit a line drive which looked to be going over the head of Bezon, except it did not as she made a jumping catch and doubled off the runner at second to end the inning.

Bezon struck again defensively in the top of the fourth inning as the Patriots had runners on first and second with no outs. The Sentinel second baseman ran in on a short pop-up, making the catch and getting the lead runner for a double play.

“I was going to first, but Brittany (Bruce) started yelling ‘two!’ so I went there,” Bezon said.

After Patriots pitcher Vanessa Garrow got the first two outs in the bottom of the fourth, Avery Alkinburgh, batting ninth, reached base on a walk in front of Bezon.

“I wanted to get a hit and I wanted to be ready for the ball each pitch,” Alkinburgh said. “I thought we were going to do something good after I got walked.”

“I knew I needed to get a hit to keep things going,” Bezon said. “I wanted to keep my eye on the ball and make good contact.”

Savannah Bezon sets to throw on one of two double plays she turned in the Class C championship game against AuSable Valley.

Haleigh Wright was the recipient of Bezon’s throw, doubling off AuSable Valley’s Sydney Snow at second base.

She did just that, ripping a double into the outfield to score Alkinburgh.

“It felt so good rounding the bases and scoring to get the lead back,” Alkinburgh said.

“Savannah’s double really was the turning point,” Sentinel head coach Eric Mullen said.

“She has been working on her defense all year and tonight, she made some big plays for us and her defense was outstanding.”

Bezon’s double opened the flood gates as is was followed by a Haleigh Wright double (scoring Bezon) and Bruce single (scoring Wright).

In all, Bezon finished the day

2-for-3 from the pate with a double and triple, scoring twice and driving in a pair of runs. In the field, she had six putouts and nine assists, making her part in nine of the 21 outs recorded by her team.

“Her defense was really big especially on the two double plays,” winning pitcher Hannah Ross (six hits, one earned run, six strikeouts) said. “She was a big help on the right side today.”

Wright finished 3-for-3 with a walk, a homerun shy of the cycle with three runs scored and a pair of RBI. Carley Campney added two hits and an RBI, while Bruce had an RBI single.

For the Patriots, Garrow connected on a two-run homer in the seventh inning as part of a two-hit day, while Hannah Rondeau also added a pair of hits and a run scored. Kourt-

ney Keenan and Kendra Christensen also had singles in the loss.

The Sentinels will try not to lose their heads as they square off with Section II’s Ichabod Crane Thursday, June 2, 4 p.m. at Plattsburgh State.

“We have to be ready to face that tough Section II pitching,” Ross said.

“It will be business as usual for us,” Mullen said. “Hopefully we can finally get over this round, but we need to play defense like we did today.”

Sentinel baseball team prepares for state finals

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga varsity baseball team is preparing for the Class C regional finals Saturday, June 4, where they will travel to either the Section X or Section II champion.

Head coach Dan Dorsett said the team will do what it can during the long layoff to prepare.

“This is a difficult week to prepare,” he said. “It is very difficult to simulate in game situations and scenarios while just practicing. In addition, we do not know who our opponent is until Thursday night June 2. We will have an 11 day layoff between games which is almost like having a preseason all over again.”

Despite the challenges, Dorsett said the team remains focus on their goal of having a game to prepare for on the following Saturday.

“Our guys realize the situation though and are working very hard to be prepared to win,” Dorsett said.

“They will be ready and hopefully we can be competitive and have a chance in the end.”

The Sentinels know a thing or two of what it takes to make a state championship, fielding a team which features several players who know how to get to the end of the postseason, as a majority of the players on this baseball team were members of the football team which made the state championship game, including the battery of senior pitcher Ryan Trudeau and senior Hannah Ross has been dominant on the mound in sectional-championship clinching Kristen Palandrani beats out a throw to first base, leading to a five-run fifth inning which catcher Brody Rocque. games for the Sentinels.

LadyÊ Panthers,Ê CardsÊ toÊ meetÊ againÊ forÊ FinalÊ FourÊ birth CROWN POINT — After one year without what had become the annual Class D state quarterfinal matchup, the Crown Point Lady Panthers, back atop Section VII, will face a familiar foe in the Fort Ann Cardinals Friday, June 3 at Plattsburgh State University at 4 p.m.

The Cardinals are ranked second in the state with an unblemished record of 21-0, while the Panthers, ranked 13th in the state, enter with an also unblemished 11-0 record.

“The main thing this season is they became close as a team, they are a family,” head coach Mike Ross said about the improvements the team has made in order to reclaim the Class D title in the section. “The chemistry of the team is what I believe put us over the top.”

“The team chemistry has been a big part,” senior pitcher Maria Malone said. “We have all worked well together and it has been a really good run.”

“I am really excited for what is going to happen,” senior shortstop Brittany Foote said. “It feels a lot better this year and a lot of this has to do with the chemistry. We have to stay motivated like we have been and limit our errors against Fort Ann.” For Malone, the past three years have seen her throwing the ball to the same target in senior catcher Logan Harrington, who agreed the chemistry was great not only with the team, but between her and Malone in the circle.

“I love it — I would not want to play anywhere else,” said Harrington on donning the catcher’s gear. “We started on third and second base, and since our sophomore year we have been meeting with each other all the time and we know each other know like the backs of our hand.”

Harrington said she knows when Malone is going to be on.

“When she’s warming up and that first pitch is right across the plate, I know it will be a good game for her,” she said. “When it comes to Fort Ann, we just need to play our game.”

Ross said he has been impressed with the battery mates over the past three seasons.

“Maria has to be right near the top when it comes to the best pitchers we have had here,” Ross said. “She has had a young team behind her and she has held her composure well throughout the season. She picks them up when errors happen.”

The Panthers faced the Northern Adirnodack varsity softball team, who started the 2016 Class D postseason as the seventh seed.

They went onto double their win total from the regular season with wins over second seed Minerva/Newcomb and third seed Lake Placid before falling in the Class D championship game to a Crown Point team who was on a mission after losing the crown one year ago.

The Panthers jumped out with three runs in the bottom of the first en route to an 8-4 win May 27, as The Bobcats were able to tie the game in the third inning but were turned away as Crown Point scored five runs in their next two at-bats.

Maria Malone limited the Bobcat bats to five hits over seven inning to record the win while striking out five batters and finding the clutch pitch when she needed it.

Brittany Foote and the Crown Point Lady Panthers are back atop Section VII and looking to make the next step as they Logan Harrington had a double in the game for the Panthers, while Savannah face Fort Ann in the Class D regional finals June 3.

Crammond, Shawna McIntosh, Torrie Vradenburg, Logan Harrington and Amber Photo by Jill Lobdell DuShane helped lead the Crown Point offense.

For the Bobcats, Natalie Boulrice took the loss in the circle while Violet Chaney and Taylor Durnin each connected on doubles.
