PRIDE readies ‘Wine and Swine’ fundraiser Ticonderoga organization helps on projects large and small By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | It’s human nature perhaps, but people in need are often slow to ask for help. So it falls to a friend or neighbor to notice when someone is having trouble paying the heating bill or having difficulty climbing the stairs into her house. But wherever needs may arise, PRIDE of Ticonderoga is there with financial assistance and expertise to give those who are in trouble a better life through their Neighbors Helping Neighbors fund. And to help build this account, PRIDE is hosting the Fourth Annual Wine & Swine benefit on Friday, Aug. 17 at The Barn at Lord Howe Valley from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets are $50, and sponsorships are still available by calling 518-585-6366.

‘A FUN, CASUAL NIGHT’

According to PRIDE of Ticonderoga Program Assistant Mariann Rapple, the casually elegant affair that began as a pig roast on the beach that attracted 30 people now sells about 225 tickets to people who enjoy music, Bodette’s barbecue, beer from Paradox Brewery and a variety of wines presented in interesting ways. » PRIDE Cont. on pg. 3

ELIZABETHTOWN | North Country Community College presented a $13.3 million 2018-19 budget to supervisors in Essex County last week. The budget reflects a 0.6 percent increase in core program costs. The college seeks $1,240,000 from Essex and Franklin counties, the “sponsor” revenue, which is unchanged for the fourth year in a row. An additional $50,000 from each county would support capital funding projects, also unchanged from current year spending. NCCC President Dr. Steve Tyrell and Vice President of Administration/Chief Financial Officer Robert T. Farmer briefed lawmakers on the details. Discussion centered around student data uncovered as NCCC continues to assess

core programs and the cost of charge-backs to the county. Charge-backs are costs paid by Essex County when students attend SUNY community college programs elsewhere. In graph form, data from 2017-18 enrollment by county indicate that 90 percent of Franklin County students attending SUNY community colleges enrolled at NCCC. “Six percent are attending other SUNY community colleges and taking programs we offer. Four percent are attending other SUNY community colleges and taking programs we don’t offer,” communications director Chris Knight told The Sun. In Essex County, however, 59 percent of students attending SUNY community colleges chose NCCC. “Twenty eight percent (of Essex County students going to community colleges) are attending other SUNY community colleges, taking programs we offer. Another 13 percent are attending other SUNY community colleges and taking programs we don’t offer,” Knight said. » NCCC Cont. on pg. 5
