Trekonderoga deemed success as hundreds flock to Ti The recent Trekonderoga event attracted 600 fans of the show

TICONDEROGA – To the exhilaration of its organizers, attendance at Ticonderoga’s recent Trekonderoga “Star Trek” convention doubled over last year.

The event brought in several guest stars from the original 1960s show for panel discussions and autograph sessions, and offered tours of the detailed USS Enterprise sets convention host James Cawley has built in a converted supermarket building in downtown Ticonderoga.

“We had 600 here for Trekonderoga,” Cawley said. “We doubled the attendance from last year. The convention was a great success.”

Cawley and the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance sponsor the event, which was held Aug. 12 through 14 at Cawley’s Retro Stu-

dios and the Ticonderoga Campus of North Country Community College.

Cawley, who also appears as an Elvis Presley tribute-artist, put on a show Aug. 13 at Ticonderoga High School that sold 322 tickets.

“A lot of people said it was a great night,” he said. “Some people are fans of both ‘Star Trek’ and Elvis. It’s all pop culture.”

They’re already planning next year’s Trekonderoga, he said.

“The chances of it being bigger and better next year are good,” Cawley said.

Cawley also offers “Star Trek – Original Set Tours” daily at the studios, and it’s become very popular, he said.

“It’s worked out great,” he said. “We’ve got people coming from all over. They’re coming to Ticonderoga to see this. It’s a different direction for Ticonderoga.”

Cawley has recreated the full range of Starship Enterprise sets from the show in accurate detail, using the original blueprints. He

SCHROON LAKE – A significant drop in the tuition charged to out-of-district students at Schroon Lake Central School is expected to bring lots more scholars to the small school.

The board decided to take this step to attract a broad spectrum of new students, Superintendent Stephen Grotto said.

He said the Schroon Lake School Board voted recently to drop the tuition for non-resident students from $4,000 a school year to $1,000.

We’re happy to attract some more students,” Grotto said.

“We’d value the diversity they might bring.”

The financial impact on the district will be minimal, he said.

COUNTY

Essex County catching up on tax auctions Essex County Board of Supervisors hiring firm for title searches

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN – Speedier auctions of foreclosed properties in Essex County are anticipated once title searches are done for two more back years.

The County Board of Supervisors Ways and Means Committee recently approved issuing a request for proposals to have an outside firm do the title searches for hundreds of properties with back taxes owed for 2013 and 2014.

The resolution gets a final vote at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6.

A sale of 2011 foreclosed properties is tentatively set for October, and the searches for 2012 parcels are almost completed, County Attorney Daniel Manning III told lawmakers.

There are 421 delinquent properties from 2013, 664 from 2014 and 723 from 2015, according to the County Treasurer’s Office.

The County Clerk’s Office, which has been doing the title searches, is backed up, supervisors were told, and hiring a com-

pany to do the work will speed the process up.

“We need to get back on track,” Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava (R-Moriah) said. “Once we get caught up, I’m sure the County Clerk’s Office can handle it. We’re too far behind here.”

He said it wasn’t fair to people who do pay their property taxes.

“It would seem to me we have to have some type of policy in place to get these searches done,” Supervisor Roby Politi (RNorth Elba) said. “So that’s the reason (for hiring someone), we have not been able to keep up in-house with the title searches?”

County Manager Daniel Palmer confirmed that was the case.

“We have not kept up with the title s e a r c h e s ,” Palmer said.

Manning said 2012 foreclosures are almost

ready for a sale.

“When I first became county attorney, we held them (tax sales) every four or five years,” Manning said. “For the last three or four years, it was done yearly. We need to get the money and we need to get things going.”

It stresses the county’s fund balance to go so long, Scozzafava said.

By law, the county pays the towns and villages when taxes in those municipalities are not paid, then recovers the money from tax auctions.

Only Supervisor Ronald Moore (R-North Hudson) spoke against hiring a firm for tax searches.

He said he estimated doing the searches will cost the county about $216,000, based on $150 a parcel.

“If we don’t make (it back) we’re going to be in the red,” Moore said. “Why would we spend $216,000 to be in the red?

I know I’m in the lone dog in this fight.”

Supervisor Randy Preston (I-Wilmington), who chairs Ways and Means, said he realizes the county has procrastinated on the sales.

“There are so many reasons to have a yearly tax sale, a long list of positive reasons,” he said. “We were going to catch up and we never have.

“Everybody’s been pointing a finger at somebody different,” Preston said. “The bottom line is we need to get caught up.”

ABOVE: The Essex County Board of Supervisors Ways and Means Committee has tentatively OK’d hiring an outside firm to do tax searches for some property foreclosures. The hoped-for result is quicker tax auctions.

John Ives Memorial Ride helped Elks youth effort

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – The John Ives Memorial Ride was reported to be very successful this year.

The charity motorcycle run benefits the Ticonderoga Elks Lodge 1494 Annual Youth Fishing Tournament that is annually held the first weekend in June.

The latest ride raised more $2,200 for the Youth Fishing Tournament. “‘Get Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs,’ this is our motto for the youth of the community,” Elks Grand Exalted Ruler Marge Hurlburt said. “This event was started over 40 years ago. John was a great Elk, always willing to lend a helping hand for the youth of the community.”

She said the Ticonderoga Elks do their best to create a drug-free atmosphere for all youth through the fishing event.

“We provide each youth with a fishing pole, and tackle box with tackle and worms,” Hurlburt said. “We start this venture months early to make sure we have enough equipment for all that attend.”

Hurlburt said kids ages 7 through 14 can enter the tournament, which starts in the early morning, although they don‘t turn anyone away.

“Fishing ends at noon, and hot dogs, hamburgers chips and beverages are served throughout the tournament,” she explained.

“We have prizes for longest fish, total inches caught.”

She said they’re already planning for next year’s fishing tournament.

“June 3, 2017 is our next fishing tournament, which we will be dedicating to John Ives,” Hurlburt said.

The 110-mile-long John Ives Memorial Ride is in honor of Ives, a Ticonderoga native,who died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in November 2014 at the age of 64, and was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.

Michael Rancour, from Ticonderoga American Legion Post 224, and his wife, Linda, are the organizers of the ride.

“He was a vet and a friend of ours,” Mrs. Rancour said.

Man charged with DWI following drunken joyride Paul Bessette, 29, was arrested by the Ticonderoga Police Department following a downtown incident that left vehicles, property damaged

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — A local man has been arrested and charged with DWI after a latenight joyride in a Medicaid taxi.

Paul Bessette, 29, was arrested by the Ticonderoga Police Department on Saturday and charged with driving while intoxicated.

TPD responded to a call from the Burleigh House shortly after 11 p.m. of a grey-colored

minivan driving erratically on Montcalm Street.

The minivan reportedly drove up onto the sidewalk and struck two parked vehicles and a railing outside of the Glens Falls National Bank before departing.

As officers were investigating the scene, the department received a second report of a vehicle matching that description pulling into a residence on John Street.

Officers arrived shortly thereafter and took Bessette into custody.

Additional charges may follow, said TPD Chief Mark Johns, including those related to leaving the scene of an accident and driving on a suspended license, among several other driving infractions.

The vehicle had livery tags, but Bessette is not licensed as a Medicaid transport provider.

Authorities are still trying to tease out the relationship between the suspect and the vehicle’s owner.

“This individual was not an employee of that company,” Johns said. “But someone else in that house was an employee who had the license privilege for that vehicle.”

The department is also continuing to investigate who gave Bessette permission to operate the vehicle, Johns said, who declined to release the name of the owner, citing the ongoing investigation.

Bessette was released and is scheduled to appear at the Ticonderoga Town Court on Sept. 28.

Rite Aid break-in attempt foiled by Ticonderoga police Two Ticonderoga residents arrested for alleged burglary

The former Rite Aid pharmacy in Ticonderoga was where local police thwarted a potential robbery last week.

TICONDEROGA – A Ticonderoga man and his girlfriend were arrested while allegedly trying to break into the pharmacy at Ticonderoga Rite Aid Drugs after the store had closed.

Ticonderoga Town Police were on patrol in the Rite Aid shopping center off Wicker Street early on Aug. 24 when they observed Cody J. Taylor, 24, trying to gain access to the store through the drive-through pharmacy window.

Taylor’s girlfriend, Samantha Martinez, 26, of Ticonderoga, was seen walking away from the store at the same time, police said.

Taylor and Martinez were taken into custody by police, and both were charged with felony third-degree burglary, felony third-degree criminal mischief, misdemeanor possession of burglary tools and misdemeanor petit larceny.

Taylor was arraigned in Ticonderoga Town Court and sent to the Essex County Jail for lack of $50,000 cash or $100,000 bail bond, while Martinez was arraigned and remanded to the jail when she didn’t pay $25,000 cash or $50,000 bail bond.

Police believe the pair were attempting to secure prescription drugs such as opioids from the store, since only the pharmacy is accessible from the drive-through window.

Taylor had been released from the jail after his July 26 arrest for allegedly stealing a wooden swing from a Burgoyne Road property. He faces several felony charges for the swing incident.

OPINION

Local commerce

ublishing a free community paper like The Sun, requires us to come in contact with many business sources each and every week as we work to secure income to offset the cost of our overhead.

Two common themes we regularly hear when speaking with local business owners and managers are a lack of available workers and the ever rising costs of operating a business today.

Local businesses are not alone in this environment.

Service companies, government agencies, non-profits and even the big box stores and national restaurant chains have had to adjust to new trends forcing a more watchful eye on every expense.

So many things have changed in the past few years that affect business overhead and sadly most of them have not been good. Payroll costs, health insurance, cost of goods, and choosing the right vendors to assist businesses in reaching their goals have all undergone a major revamping to adjust to the new norm.

Most business owners today work far harder than in the past and do so with far less left in the cookie jar when all the bills are satisfied. Many would also think twice about starting or owning a business in today’s climate.

While it’s never been easy getting started in business, hard work and regular investment early on were generally rewarded with customer loyalty and smooth sailing once the business was established.

Supporting local businesses that employ our neighbors and family members is what helps create a strong local economy. And a strong local economy ensures us all a more vibrant community capable of dealing with changing times and bumps in the road that will arise over time.

It is easy to be seduced by low cost online deals from mega suppliers like Amazon, Alibaba, Overstock and dozens more who do nothing to help build strong communities with good schools systems, strong health care agencies and vibrant main streets.

Strong local commerce requires funds moving throughout the entire community just like blood flowing through a healthy human body. It must be steady to sustain the health of the body or in this case the community economic health.

As we celebrate labor day this weekend let’s remember our local labor force and not forget the many business employers who call our community home. They invest a lot to be here and our combined success in all areas of the community will be based on the ability to support each other.

State should consider hiking permits

W

e’re ordinarily not in favor of hiking taxes but we’re calling for a hiking tax.

It’s indisputable that hiking continually rates among the top draws to the Adirondack Park.

Unlike other outdoor activities that require expensive gear, participation costs are minimal, with only a pair of quality footwear separating participants from a rigorous stroll through the wilderness.

Another reason for the accessibility is the lack of registration fees.

Hiking is free, making it unique in the realm of outdoor activities.

Snowmobiling requires a license. Boating requires a license. So does fishing and hunting. Campgrounds charge fees.

Come to think of it, it seems like every user group pays to play in the Adirondack Park except those that hike.

So why not level the playing field and require a token fee for hikers?

Say, a $10 annual fee similar to a hunting or fishing license.

Enforcement would be identical.

Just think of the revenue that could be generated for these local communities.

The estimated number of leisure visitors to the Adirondack region in 2014 was 460,000, according to the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism.

Nearly 86 percent of those visitors counted hiking as their top draw.

If all of them purchased a $10 permit, that’s nearly $4 million in possible revenue — just for the Adirondack Park alone. Imagine the numbers for the entire state, including the Catskills.

Most of us spend more than that on coffee each week.

Use some of the proceeds to aid the cash-strapped local governments who provide services and infrastructure for these visitors.

The rest can be used to boost funding for forest rangers, whose numbers have been kept stagnant for years despite increased state land holdings and increasing tourism to the region.

Take a look at the state Department of Conservation’s weekly search and rescue highlights to see what these guys are dealing with: From broken legs to lost and confused hikers, reports list incident after incident of helpless weekend warriors requiring rescue.

These specialized operations often require significant manpower, including air support. They tax our underfunded local volunteers.

You seldom see hunters or anglers in distress… and they’re bushwacking it through the backcountry on unmarked trails.

Quite simply, forest rangers are being asked to do more with less and the hiking faction by far demands the most resources.

It seems unsustainable.

A

And despite ongoing educational efforts, the influx of hikers is also leading to a degradation of these trail networks, with popular trailheads and summits reportedly seeing more wear and tear — including a loss of vegetation.

Taxing hikers isn’t a new concept, and we’ve written about it before. But the policy is one that should be seriously considered, particularly as the state continues to promote the North Country as a premier tourism destination, and as hiking culture continues to expand beyond the High Peaks region.

At the same time, business owners inside the Blue Line could use the system as an incentive to draw these visitors to their establishments. Offer 10 percent off a meal or hotel room for those who display their hiking license.

That’s a win-win for all — giving the hiking family a kick-back for purchasing the permit while enticing these folks to spend their money here, which often simply does not happen.

Some may argue that an additional licensing fee may be duplicative considering state taxpayers have already footed the bill for the purchase of these public lands.

But the National Parks Service also charges a fee to access taxpayer-funded lands. You see it all over the country.

Others say such a policy would be unenforceable and would lead to a slippery slope as to what, exactly, constitutes hiking.

Obviously some thorny issues would need be hammered out, and doing so should be relatively breezy with a bit of common sense. But the alternative of doing nothing, much like the fragile ground being eroded by legions of visitors, is equally unsustainable.

ENDORSEMENT POLICY

s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-

dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75.

A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COMMENTARY

WestportÊ HeritageÊ HouseÊ thanksÊ volunteers To the Editor: Thank you to the many volunteers.

The members of the Westport Heritage House and Festival Committees would like to express our thanks to the many volunteers who helped to make the 2016 Westport Festival a success. This event would not happen without the volunteers, both behind the scenes and in front, for the day’s activities. Everyone is greatly appreciated for their part in making this fundraiser for the Heritage House a success.

TrumpÕ sÊ lies To the Editor: Mr. Windle’s letter (Aug. 20 edition) said that Trump’s lies do not compare with Hitler’s lies.

I disagree. Trump’s lies do compare with Goebbels. (Politico found that Trump lies every five minutes.)

What about George Bush and his administration’s lies? Following 9/11, Bush and his top officials waged a carefully orchestrated campaign of misinformation about Saddam Hussein’s WMDs. Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz made 935 false statements.

In the two years following 9/11 that led our nation to war under decidedly false pretenses, on at least 532 separate occasions — speeches, briefings, interviews and testimony — Bush and three key officials (Secretary of State Colin Powell, Dep. Secretary of State Paul Wolfowitz, Press Secretary Ari Fleischer) stated unequivocally that Iraq had WMDs. This concentrated effort was the underpinning of the Bush administration’s case for war.

Dick Cheney: “There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has WMDs.” A CIA Agent was quoted as saying, “Where is he getting this stuff from?”

One truth that Trump has said is this: “They [Bush] lied, they said that there were WMDs, there were none, and they knew there were none.”

Judicial Watch, a multi-million dollar right wing organization, has been attacking the Clintons since the 1990s. It is the only thing they do.

As for the Affordable Care Act, 20 million Americans are now getting health coverage that they did not have before President Obama and the Democrats passed this into law.

You probably don’t know that we are paying for every Iraqi citizen’s health insurance.

Article 31 of the Iraqi Constitution, drafted by the Bush administration in 2005, includes state guaranteed single payer health care for life for every Iraqi citizen. So according to the political right wing, government-guaranteed health insurance is good for the Iraqis but not for the American citizens.

Social Security, sponsored by Robert Wagner (D-NY), Robert Doughton (D-NC), David Lewis (D-MD), proposed and passed by President Franklin Roosevelt (D-NY). Medicare sponsored by Harry Truman (D-Mis), proposed and passed by Lyndon Johnson (D-Tx). These programs benefit all Americans, all proposed and passed by Democrats.

Mr. Windle, what has your Republican party done for the American people apart from objecting to programs for the American people and lying us into a war? Switch sides? Help Donald Trump? Really? Mr. Windle, you need help!

WhyÊ wasÊ theÊ WWIIÊ Lend-LeaseÊ ActÊ neverÊ repaid?

To the Editor: Ever since the megahurricane in Louisiana, I have been keeping track of all the tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, wild fires, etc.

We just suffered one megaflood with losses estimated at $1,000,000,000.

This is just one storm!

A guesstimate total for past years would be in the hundreds of billions.

During this time period, how much more money have we, the United States, given out to foreign countries?

Only one tiny South Pacific island country sent us a check for $1,700, which was 10 percent of their gross national product, to help with the hurricane in Louisiana.

Where is the aid from all the countries we help?

WWII Lend-Lease! Why hasn’t this been paid back? Notice it says lendlease, not give. Time to say ‘no more foreign aid.’

Take care of your own problems. Let’s use the money to rebuild the U.S.A. and become “great again.”

Vote for The Donald!

Almost immediately, I started to notice a loss of small manufacturing plants close, as they were my customers, just as I had openly predicted! So don’t tell me I am un-American. My livelihood was threatened and I had to make dramatic changes in my business to survive.

As for the hat, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” let me tell you I have one and wear it proudly! For your information, it’s made by CALIFRAME located in Carson, California. So much for your claim they are made in China!

As for Clinton, good god, what more will you crazy liberals need before you replace her on the Democratic ticket. Don’t tell me she is not a thief at every level, don’t tell me she is not a liar, don’t tell me she is not mentally challenged, don’t tell me she has not sold out America for personnel gain, don’t tell me her daughter was properly compensated at her first job with $635,000 starting salary plus perks so don’t tell me!

Trump, damage America. BS. His work ethic has created tens of thousands of jobs for all Americans; Latinos, blacks, women, yes, each and every one of us!

You suggest there is no defense for the truth, wrong: the truth is the defense, and Trump is carrying that banner.

I join with you in GOD BLESS AMERICA, but as for Hillary, sick or not, she should go to jail for the rest of her life.

T

he health insurance exchanges that are the beating heart of Obamacare are on the edge of collapse, with premiums rising sharply for ever narrower provider networks, nonprofit health co-ops shuttering their doors, and even the biggest insurance companies heading for the exits amid mounting losses.

Three states - Alaska, Alabama, and Wyoming - are already down to just a single insurance company, as are large parts of several other states, totaling at least 664 counties.

UnitedHealth is pulling out completely, Humana is pulling out of 88 percent of counties it was in, and last weak Aetna strongly suggested it will be exiting, too, unless it gets bribed to stay with a huge, annual infusion of direct corporate bailout payments from taxpayers.

Dealing with the wreckage will be at the top of the agenda for the new president and Congress next year, and their options will be limited especially if, as appears likely, we will continue to have divided government.

The most likely outcome, then, is the muddled middle, keeping gravely ill Obamacare on life support, with the major policy fight being over the extent to which taxpayers should be forced to provide billions in corporate bailout cash infusions.

Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini was pretty blatant in a recent interview with Zachary Tracer of Bloomberg.

Here’s the key part: “Rather than transferring money among insurers, the law should be changed to subsidize insurers with government funds,” Bertolini said.

“It needs to be a non-zero sum pool in order to fix it,’ Bertolini said.”

In other words: everybody is losing money, so taxpayers need to pick up the tab.

The Obama administration is already playing fast and loose with the law to shovel as many bailout bucks to insurers as they can - on top of Obamacare’s huge subsidies to lower income consumers and a penalty tax on people who don’t buy in. They shortchanged taxpayers by $3.5 billion that, contrary to law, they sent to insurance companies instead.

Democrats will support legalizing these payments and authorizing even larger direct corporate bailouts on an ongoing basis as a way to keep insurance companies in the Obamacare exchanges.

Republicans will be attacked as saboteurs for resisting bailout payments, but that misses the point.

Direct corporate welfare to bribe companies to participate in a poorly designed program is throwing good money after bad.

We won’t be able to get to a real solution until we acknowledge that Obamacare is too rigidly structured and regulated to offer products people actually want, and needs to be reformed or replaced with genuine, functioning markets that give us a much wider variety of plans.

Before that can happen, Obamacare supporters need to be held accountable for the law’s manifest failures - not permitted to paper them over with billions more of our tax dollars.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Remembering the history of American workers

I

n this ever-globalizing economy, the spotlight is often on labor. Where will the future of jobs lie? What is a livable wage, and how do we get there? It’s easy to get caught up in this line of thinking and forget where we started, and why we are largely able to focus on the future of jobs and wages rather than the deplorability of working conditions.

Luckily, we have Labor Day to remind us.

Beyond the barbecues and that residual Independence Day vibe, Labor Day is about honoring the American labor movement. There are Americans who fought for decades for our labor rights; hundreds who died while protesting and striking.

In the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, hundreds of coal miners were arrested without habeas corpus and other basic legal rights following one of the largest labor uprisings in history, according to Wikipedia. There was somewhere between 50-100 deaths.

The coal minor union involved, UMWA, was undermined by management and union membership fell from 50,000 to 10,000. That is, until the New Deal was signed by FDR in 1933.

The struggle of the American worker is imbedded in our history as a nation. This weekend, we remember that struggle, and those that fought and lost their lives to get us to where we are today.

Ticonderoga Dance studio and school to reopen The Command Performance Dance Studio and Nursery School is back

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – The Command Performance Dance Studio and Rainbow Nursery School will be reopening soon after undergoing complete renovations.

The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce will host a public reopening ceremony at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8 at the businesses’ location at 176 The Portage in Ticonderoga.

Following the ribbon cutting, light re-

freshments will be served.

The space in which both businesses are located has received a complete renovation and makeover, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matthew Courtright said.

“It’s wonderful to see the dedication of our businesses in the Ticonderoga area to the community and to their continued growth,” he said. “We’re honored to be working with Marge Cross and her two businesses to showcase their new space and to be part of the grand reopening. Marge is a dedicated chamber member who supports our mission, vision, and all of our efforts.”

Cross said Command Performance Dance Studio and Rainbow Nursery have

served the Ticonderoga area for almost three decades.

“We are very excited, beginning our 28th year for Command Performance Dance Studio, and our 31st year for Rainbow Nursery, in our new surroundings,” she said. “We’ve been working very hard the last several weeks to create a special room for our students, in coordination with Marc Potter. We look forward to seeing everyone at our ribbon-cutting and grand reopening, and sharing our new look.”

The Dance Studio offers classes in tap, ballet, modern/hip-hop, and acro-dance, which is a combination of dance with gymnastic stunts included in routine, Cross said.

She said classes are held on a weekly basis. The studio runs concurrent with the

Ticonderoga school calendar, and holds its yearly recital at the High School auditorium each June.

Cross has danced since she was three years old and choreographed for the Ticonderoga Jr. Miss/Outstanding Young Woman Program for almost 20 yrs.

She said Rainbow Nursery School has served pre-school children in the Ticonderoga area for the past 31 years. They offer a one-half day educational program to students 3, 4 or 5 years old, to help prepare them for kindergarten.

Students are now being accepted for both dance classes and nursery school.

Command Performance Dance Studio and Rainbow Nursery School have Facebook pages, or Cross can be reached at 585-7927.

T

he month of July was a very busy month for us as we responded to 24 emergencies including four fires, two hazardous conditions, eight residential and commercial alarms including fire, smoke and carbon monoxide, three smoke conditions, two EMS assists and five other general alarms. Our membership totaled 184.8 man hours for all of the emergencies with an average response time of 3.2 minutes and an average time from call to on scene of 6.2 minutes with the average call taking 32.3 minutes.

In addition to responding to the emergencies we also conducted four weekly training drills that included 118 Man Hours.

In addition to our weekly training a group of 15 members spent the weekend Friday, July 22 through July 24, battling the heat and humidity with a special training on Advanced Vehicle Extrication. This was a very intense class that began with a four hour classroom session Friday night and then on Saturday and Sunday was hands on learning and practicing new techniques for today’s new car technology. With the advance safety features of today’s new cars it poses a challenge to rescuers and the tools they have used in the past. This course showed our rescuers how to overcome some of the obstacles they may come across with today’s automobiles. Our volunteers put in over 300 man hours of time including the set up time, training time and clean up time. A special thank you to the following people/organizations for their contribution, without everyone’s help it would not have been a success. The Ticonderoga Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, Town of Ticonderoga Highway Department, Jay’s Sunoco, Pat Armstrong Trucking, A & S Customs of Crown Point and those who donated junk cars to be cut up.

In addition to responding to emergencies and training each week we also participated in several non firematic events including attending the Best 4th in the North Parade, standing by and assisting with traffic control for the Best 4th in the North Fireworks Show, Fireman’s Games during the 4th of July weekend, our weekly Bingo fund raiser and paying our respects to past member and past Assistant Fire Chief Pat Armstrong who did so much for this community and will be dearly missed. All these events totaled over 350 man hours of volunteer time.

As you approach an emergency scene with emergency workers and apparatus please slow down and move over and have respect for our safety. As always we are looking for new members and applications can be obtained on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7 p.m., or contact any member for more information.

St. Mary’s student aims to help others with dolls American Girl dolls will comfort little girls during cancer treatment

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICIONDEROGA – Ticonderoga Elks Lodge 1494 is sponsoring Ellee Borho and her American Doll project for child cancer patients.

The Ticonderoga St. Mary’s Catholic School student’s goal is to raffle the 18-inchhigh American Doll “Lea” to raise money to buy several American Girl dolls with no hair, to give to the Pediatric Cancer Care Center in Burlington, Vt. Lea is named for Lea Clark, the doll company’s Girl of the Year 2016.

The American Girl dolls that Ellee, who

will be 7 years old in September, wants to acquire are for little girls who are going through chemotherapy for cancer treatment.

Tickets are $5 each or three for $10, and can be purchased at the Elks Lodge, or checks can be mailed to the lodge with “Doll Raffle” written in the check memo field, to Ticonderoga Elks Lodge 1494, P.O. Box 310, Ticonderoga, N.Y. 12883.

Elle and her mother, Jessee Borho, are also selling tickets at various locations around Ticonderoga.

American Girl Dolls were first produced in 1986, after former schoolteacher and children’s publisher Pleasant Rowland started making the dolls after visiting Colonial Williamsburg.

Rowland noticed there weren’t enough dolls for children that focused on girlhood, and the American Girl was launched.

While Ticonderoga resident Nancy LaTour was taking a walk at the Ticonderoga Ferry landing recently, she saw two sea gulls struggling on the ground. LaTour said they had apparently gotten attached to a doubleended barbed fishing lure. She said she was upset to see the gulls like that, and went over to the boat invasive species checkers and washers at the adjacent State Boat Launch Site, all students at Paul Smiths College.

“They immediately came to the rescue,” LaTour said. “They held the birds down and detached the lure, and the birds safely flew away. They are my heroes.” From left are gull rescuers Matt Simpson, Brant Lake; Jacob Young, Ticonderoga and Stephen Thompson, of Ticonderoga.

COUNTY

Former CO gets 6 months for selling drugs in Essex County Jail Jeffrey Wallace, 33, pleaded guilty in May on two of nine counts, felony drug sales and promoting prison contraband

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Former Essex County Corrections Officer Jeffrey Wallace, 33, was sentenced Aug. 25 for bringing drugs to an inmate at the Essex County Jail.

Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague said sentencing was based on a plea deal struck in May that reduced nine felony counts to two.

Wallace was caught on security camera bringing suboxone to an inmate at the jail — where he worked — on three different dates between Sept. 26 and Oct. 6 in 2015.

He was originally charged with three counts of fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a Class C felony; three counts of first-degree promoting prison contraband, a Class D felony; and three counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, also a Class D felony.

“He had three counts of each because they were on three different dates,” Sprague said.

The plea deal settled on two counts: one first-degree promoting prison contraband and one fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, which is a drug felony and nets an indeterminate sentence.

Jeffrey Wallace Essex County Judge Richard Meyer ordered Wallace to serve six months in jail plus five years probation.

But the former corrections officer won’t serve the time in Essex County.

“They’re going to have to ship him to St. Lawrence County,” Sprague said shortly after

court ended.

“The five years probation would run concurrently. But if he violates probation, he would then get two consecutive sentences, meaning they would be served one after the other. A drug felony gets one year in state prison with a maximum two-and-a-half years, determinate, which means it’s set by the law. The sentence is two-and-a-third years to seven, indeterminate, on promoting prison contraband. And he’s going to do Drug Court,” Sprague said.

In addition, Wallace, a former resident of Ticonderoga, has to surrender all firearms and weapons, Sprague said.

“He has to pay total surcharges, fees and fines of $2,375. And he loses his driver’s license for six months,” the DA said.

The drug transaction in Essex County Jail was uncovered after a tip to Sheriff Richard Cutting last year, Sprague said.

“The tip lead to an in-house investigation and a watch under surveillance,” Sprague said.

The suboxone was intercepted when Wallace was caught, Sprague said.

But review of camera data showed earlier

dates Wallace brought drugs to the inmate.

“He would bring it to the same inmate. It was a local person,” the DA said.

Wallace had a family relationship to the inmate, who later was released from jail and had a near fatal overdose, Sprague said.

Without giving the former inmate’s name, Sprague said he was revived with Narcan after overdosing outside the jail.

Essex County Sheriff ’s Department Undersheriff Michael Badger said Wallace had worked as a corrections officer for more than eight years. He worked in both the old and new county jail facilities.

Wallace was let go, Badger said.

He was terminated when he was caught bringing drugs into the jail, Sprague said.

“With a conviction now, Mr. Wallace is barred from working in law enforcement.

And he will have no grounds to appeal termination.”

The Sheriff ’s Department said the sentence serves justice.

“It’s his first offense, so we’re satisfied with the sentence,” Badger said.

In a statement after the arrest last fall, Sheriff Cutting said ‘It is never easy to investigate your own, but it has to be done to maintain the integrity of the Office of Sheriff.”

It was the first such arrest of a CO at the Essex County Jail, Cutting had said.

Wallace was a former volunteer with the Putnam Station Volunteer Fire Department.

Veterans say VA access to health care, jobs pose local challenges

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

SARANAC LAKE — U.S. military veterans say access to even basic healthcare is a struggle in rural upstate communities.

A group of about 25 men and women who served in all branches of the military met with Rep. Elise Stefanik (RWillsboro) at St. Joseph’s in Saranac Lake and described how long trips to see specialists in Albany or Syracuse are exacerbated by shrinking Home Base Primary Care services.

“We’re starting to see the Veteran’s Administration retract from that (Home Base),” said Steve Bowman, who is director of the Clinton County Veterans Service Agency.

He described circumstances where home-bound veteran’s are cut off from local providers due to VA efforts to centralize services.

“The VA is leaving them to fend for themselves,” Bowman said.

“It’s immoral and unsafe.”

Many elder veterans do not have the ability or resources to travel to VA medical centers in Albany or Syracuse, he said.

Bowman attributed the lack of access in part to delayed and inadequate staffing levels at regional Veteran headquarters.

There are 97 veterans in this area that need specialist care, he told Stefanik.

That means 97 times eight or ten hours or more for travel.

“Why can’t these (specialists) go out to the veterans instead of parking their butts in Albany?” Bowman said.

“The (VA’s) central office is the nemesis of VA healthcare.”

Bowman said the federal budget is using outdated numbers to determine funding.

Funding levels for 2017 were set using 2015 numbers, which the veteran and Clinton County leader says are not accurate.

“There are 100 new patients in Clinton County alone.

Funding cannot and has not kept up with the needs of veterans.

“They’ve got to be more flexible in managing these programs,” Bowman told Stefanik.

Otis Mountain headliners Lewis Del Mar make it big

ELIZABETHTOWN — It all started with a pair of two nine-year-old kids.

Two students, Danny Miller and Max Harwood, transferred to an unfamiliar elementary school in Washington, DC the same year.

Though the school they attended was fairly large, and there were innumerable scenarios in which the two students could have found themselves never meeting, the pair somehow found one another — and discovered they had a mutual desire, according to the duo, “to cause s**t and get in trouble.”

“I felt I had a friend to do bad s**t with,” said Danny Miller, guitarist and singer of Lewis Del Mar, of his bandmate Max. “Someone to push the boundaries with.”

Miller and Harwood started making music in the sixth grade.

They haven’t quite stopped since.

After years of touring, sweating it out in small clubs under various band names, the duo finally found their sound under the moniker Lewis Del Mar. “[Our sound] is really a culmination of a lifetime of touring,” said the group.

Their music is a conglomeration of experiences; a bluesrock influence left over from projects past; a Latin American element from the duo’s Panamanian and Nicaraguan fathers, a sprinkling of their shared love of mixed media; and a balance between natural acoustics and industrial production, indicative of the group’s home in Rockaway Beach.

It’s unique in part because it’s born from experiences all their own.

What sounds at first like simple pop-rock blossoms into something entirely new with each listen. Miller and Harwood worked together to push the boundaries in school, and seem to bring some of that same sentiment to their music today.

“It’s 2016 and a lot of music has been done already,” said DJ Miles on Go 96.3. “To come across a band who are doing something different and unique and innovative, it’s refreshing.”

The Otis Mountain Get Down will begin Friday, Sept. 9 and run until Sunday, Sept. 11. The festival will feature three stages and over 30 artists. For more information, visit otismountain. com.

And yet, despite the band’s delayed departure last year, they were still excited to return.

The duo will perform in Elizabethtown with a full band; bringing along keyboardist Nick Chatham, guitarist Theon Gomez and bassist Drew Hart to supplement their live act.

Marriott Courtyard hotel opens, revealing millennial style $26 million hotel now open

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — The Marriott Courtyard hotel — envisioned to transform Lake George Village into a premier year-round destination — opened Aug. 29 with considerable fanfare, accompanied by joyous cheers and tears.

A ribbon-cutting was held mid-afternoon Monday at the Canada Street entrance of the new 119room Courtyard Lake George by Marriott that cost $26 million to develop — as the first guests arrived to check in.

The event, which included speeches, congratulations, and tours of the new six-story hotel, was attended by about 100 people.

Developers Dave Kenny

and Frank Dittrich were praised for their dedication to pursuing the project that is predicted to transform the face of Lake George — and for securing both a premier hotel brand and a top-tier management company to steer the enterprise.

The hotel is aimed to accommodate both business and leisure travelers, as well as corporate meetings and conventions.

Two expansive meeting rooms occupying the southern end of the first two floors of the building are expected to be completed by next March. Each of these 5,000-square-feet “ballrooms” is designed to host 400 people. Also slated for opening next year is a rooftop terrace and an upscale full-service restaurant. The hotel’s indoor pool is to be in service within two weeks.

Open now is a full-service bistro that offers light

fare and Starbucks coffee.

The hotel’s lobby winds through intimate spaces on the first floor, around a copper-clad double-sided fireplace and a lobby bar.

Furniture with a nouveauEuropean look is scattered throughout.

Of the 119 rooms, 60 are suites, and 43 of them have balconies overlooking Lake George and the historic former county courthouse. All rooms feature a view of either Prospect Mountain or the lake. Dittrich said the rooms are larger than those that Marriott requires.

Don Urgo of Urgo Hotels & Resorts, which is managing the Courtyard Lake George, said the most impressive aspect to him of the hotel was the blend of contemporary design with traditional Adirondack styling cues. Such an approach was evident in the petrified tree-trunk sections used as lobby cocktail stands — as well as in the lobby’s ceiling, tiered in a

stepped fashion that from the entrance is reminiscent of evergreen trees.

Both Urgo and Kenny’s daughter, Laura Kohls, said the hotel’s interior and its amenities were designed to appeal to millennials. The hotel’s innovative style includes room dressers that are trapezoidal, indirect lighting and breezy abstract paintings.

Urgo praised the collaboration between the owners and the designers for their collective creativity, as well as hailing Marriott for their flexibility in allowing the innovative interior and exterior design.

“They all realized the uniqueness of this setting in Lake George,” he said.

Praised by a dozen municipal officials, business associates and community leaders, Kenny deferred credit to Lake George’s long-standing mayor, saying that Robert Blais gave him the initial idea to build the hotel five or more years ago.

Blais said that the Courtyard Lake George was

transformational.

“Today, Lake George Village is growing up, we’re growing up along with Warren County and the entire Lake George region to meet the needs of these people who are out there waiting to come to a first-class destination,” he said. “I thank Dave Kenny, Frank Dittrich and their families for this gift — this gift to our tourism industry that will be enjoyed by folks from all over the world.”

With tears in his eyes, Kenny praised his girlfriend Roselyn Wallace and his daughter Laura, for working tirelessly to bring the hotel to reality.

Hotel General Manager Taylor Hall thanked the staff for their time, energy and hard work.

“You are the heart of the hotel — you helped build it, and we can’t thank you enough,” she said. “And now we’re glad to be a part of this amazing community.”

Lake George Chamber of Commerce president Mi-

The Town Clerk’s Office in the town of Crown Point will be closed September 7th - September 21st.

chael Consuelo said that with its expansive meeting space, the hotel was a “game changer” that would boost tourism to a new level.

“Such a beautiful property certainly will change the infrastructure of our village for many years to come,” he said.

Urgo, a top executive of a corporation owning and managing luxury resorts around the word, praised Lake George municipal officials and the planning board members for their input — and the public for their support.

“You helped create an asset that’s going to be absolutely fantastic for the town of Lake George and the surrounding area for decades to come,” he said.

Urgo also praised Kenny, Dittrich and their family members and their commitment of time, money and talent to both the hotel and the community.

“Their personal and professional lives are wholly engulfed here, and I cannot tell you what a thrill it is to work with a group like this,” he said.

Gov. Cuomo signs ‘Tiffany Heitkamp’s’ law Legislation strengthens penalties for boating while intoxicated offenses

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed “Tiffany Heitkamp’s” Law on Aug. 16, legislation that strengthens penalties for boating while intoxicated offenses by linking them to prior drinking while driving offenses involving a vehicle.

The bill will require courts to consider prior DWI or DWAI convictions when sentencing a person for boating while intoxicated or boating while ability impaired.

“Whether behind the wheel of a car or a boat, drunk drivers are a danger to themselves and a menace to others,” Cuomo said in a news release. “This new law closes this loophole and will help keep these dangerous individuals off our roads and waterways, avoiding more senseless tragedies.”

Under current law, there is no linkage between prior DWI and DWAI offenses and BWI offenses. This makes it impossible to convict an individual as a repeat offender, despite prior violations of similar laws. The bill addresses this gap by linking these similar offenses and providing harsher penalties for repeat offenders.

Specifically, this measure requires that a

court sentencing an individual for a BWI carrying a 30-day sentence must consider any prior DWIs or DWAIs by the same individual within a five-year period.

When sentencing for a BWAI carrying a 180-day sentence, the court must consider prior DWIs or DWAIs within a 10 year period.

This change would require a sentencing judge to impose a higher sentence on those who repeatedly get behind the wheel in an intoxicated state, regardless of whether it is a car or a boat.

“When someone has a history of operating a vehicle or vessel while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, that record should be taken into account when the individual is sentenced,” Sen. John A. DeFrancisco (R-Syracuse) said. “Repeat offenders should be held accountable for their history of dangerous actions to help deter further tragedies. I also would like to commend MaryJo HeitkampFrance on her advocacy to help get this bill passed.” “[This bill] will honor the memory of Tiffany Heitkamp by requiring that judges take into account past DWI convictions when sentencing those convicted of Boating While Intoxicated,” Assemblyman William Magnarelli (D-Syracuse) said, “It will further deter those who repeatedly violate New York’s intoxicated operation laws.”

The “Tiffany Heitkamp” bill was named after a young Syracuse-area woman who was killed in July 2006 while traveling as a passenger in a boat operated by an intoxicated person.

The individual operating the boat had a record of alcohol-related automobile incidents.

However, because there was no link between prior convictions for Boating While Intoxicated, he could only be charged as if this was his first BWI.

On Aug. 8, the Sons of the American Legion delivered $850 worth of supplies to the Ronald McDonald House in Burlington. Pictured are George Ashe, Bob Fuller, Jon Moses, Charlie Messier and Craig Cassidy.

After intermittent closures, Million Dollar Beach reopens Local officials hope beach remains open following touch-and-go status

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — Unlike the movie, it’s not a giant shark threatening the Labor Day weekend for tourists at Million Dollar Beach here.

But it could be microscopic bacteria.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation reopened Million Dollar Beach midafternoon Monday, Aug. 29 after water-quality tests indicated that bacteria levels, elevated in various tests this past week, had decreased to within safety limits set by the agency.

Now, Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said he predicted Million Dollar Beach and Dog Beach would remain open through Labor Day, as little or no rainfall is forecast.

“I hope Million Dollar Beach remains open,” he said. “It’s a big weekend for us.”

This iconic swimming venue, as well as adjacent “Dog Beach,” had been closed most of last week due to bacteria concentrations that prompted concerns. Monday’s reopening of the beaches capped off intermittent closures occurring over the past nine days.

These two beaches had initially been closed Friday Aug. 19 because of high fecal coliform bacteria counts, but were reopened the following day when a subsequent test showed the bacteria levels had subsided.

The beaches were again closed to the public Tuesday Aug. 23 when water quality tests taken the prior day detected coliform bacteria levels of 4,180 colonies per 100 milliliters — nearly four times the limit that DEC has established for safe swimming.

The beaches remained closed for the next six days while DEC continued taking a series of routine tests — which indicated fecal coliform bacteria had decreased substantially, but by

Friday E. coli levels had increased to well above the state Health Department threshold of 235 colonies per 100 milliliter.

Water tests conducted Saturday showed decreased levels of both fecal coliform and E. Coli bacteria, below the threshold deemed safe, according to a DEC statement released Monday.

“DEC is still investigating a variety of potential sources of the recent contamination,” the statement said. “Sampling will be conducted on a daily basis to ensure the safety of the swimming area.”

The DEC bulletin declaring the Aug. 29 reopening was unexpected, because the agency just hours earlier had issued a press release stating the beach would remain closed.

Efforts to contact DEC late Monday were unsuccessful.

But agency spokesman David Winchell said last week that high coliform levels in lakes are due to excrement of humans or animals, including gulls, ducks, dogs, swimmers, or a combination of all of them. Winchell said that coliform levels in the 20s are routine for Lake George, and higher levels occur in areas where birds and mammals frequent.

While coliform bacteria can cause digestive tract distress, some relatively uncommon strains of E. coli can cause serious or life-threatening illnesses.

Dickinson said Tuesday evening that recently he’s been receiving a daily phone call from DEC Region 5 Director Robert Stegemann regarding water quality.

“DEC officials seem to think the high bacteria levels are generated by bird populations at Million Dollar Beach,” he said, noting that the recent rains have washed bacteria from shoreline bird-droppings into the lake.

Dickinson said that the town and village have four other municipal beaches in the area — which have been open continuously through the summer — and they have not have not incurred water-quality issues. These venues include the popular Shepard Park Beach, not far away from Million Dollar Beach.

They’ve had fans from not just the US, but all over Europe, including Ireland and Venice, come for the tours, he said.

“We just started three weeks ago,” Cawley said. “It’s been crazy steady for the tours. People are waiting for the doors to open.”

having to add more staff,” Grotto explained. “We don’t anticipate it would cost the district any more to bring more students in, and the benefits would definitely help the district.”

Schroon Lake had 220 students in grades pre-kindergarten through 12 last year. There are 25 full-time teachers, and the school has an 87 percent graduation rate. The average class size at Schroon Lake is 12 students.

Sept. 6 is the first day back for staff, Sept. 7 for students.

Grotto said the school offers an excellent education.

“We look forward to having more students in our classes,” the superintendent said.

U.S. News and World Report gave Schroon Lake a bronze medal in its school rankings last year.

Any parents interested in the school for their offspring should call 532-7164.

“It’s going to be a little different this year,” Sprague explained. “We have some new attractions. The Guardians of the Ribbon are coming this year. They have a pink firetruck in honor of all women battling cancer.

“The Fraternal Order of Eagles are new this year.

They’ll be marching in costume.”

The Plattsburgh Pipes and Drums band and Rutland (Vt.) Shriner clowns are also in the parade.

Twenty-five local World War II and Korean War veterans from North Country Honor Flight will be saluted in the parade.

Sprague said they have two days of events lined up that will make a weekend of entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.

“It’s shaping up,” Sprague said. “We’re excited about it. It promises to be great fun for everyone.”

The celebration starts Saturday, Sept. 3 with these events: Book Sale, Sherman Free Library, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Sailboat Regatta at Port Henry Marina, 1 p.m.

Mutton Hollow Parade in Moriah, 4 p.m.

Music by the State Pier at 8 p.m. before the fireworks. Fireworks at dusk from Village Beach. Boat Parade of Lights from Van Slooten Harbour Marina after the fireworks.

Trekonderoga organizer James Cawley (left) talks with Lance Clarke, co-director of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, about the results of the year’s “Star Trek” convention. The event brought in about 600 fans, double last year’s attendance.
