Schroon tax levy to rise 11.7 percent Tax hike attributed to creation of ambulance district, tennis court repair

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — The town of Schroon’s spending plan for 2016 comes with a tax hike of nearly 12 percent.

For homeowners with $100,000 homes, this amounts to an increase of $43 annually.

Two big ticket items include refurbishment of the townowned tennis court and the formation of a new ambulance district.

Like other emergency services squads in the region, volunteering rates have fallen off, which means Schroon Lake EMS needs to reorganize in order to start billing.

Reincorporating as a non-profit will allow the squad to hire paid staff for the new townwide district.

The $130,000 in appropriations will cover two paid personnel: an EMT and another trained in advanced life support, said Schroon Supervisor Mike Marnell.

Volunteers will continue to cover the graveyard shift, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Procedures will be reviewed next year to determine their effectiveness, said the supervisor.

“It’s working so far,” said Marnell.

Earlier this year, the town was awarded a $197,000 grant to repair the surface of the tennis court, which is cracked and has been repeatedly patched. The town was required to kick in $87,000.

Marnell said he understood the decision has generated some consternation in the community. But it’s important to

maintain facilities to attract visitors, he said.

“A lot of people don’t play tennis, but a lot of people don’t play golf, either, but we have a golf course,” said Marnell. “If you want to promote a town, you have to have something for people to use and enjoy.”

Other notable line items include a $26,315 increase in wages; $16,256 in retirement costs; $39,000 for airport improvements, a $7,000 contribution to a shared boat wash station, $35,000 for a new truck and $10,000 to the town’s medical center.

The town also increased their share to the chamber of commerce $2,180 for a total of $20,000.

The tax rate per $1,000 in assessed value will increase to $4.33 from $3.90.

Taxpayers will not see additional costs from the town hall >> Story Continued | pg. 12

Scozzafava ‘saddened’ with Essex Ctr. report

Santa recently visited Ticonderoga as he does annually for the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce SantaFest as part of the Ticonderoga Area North Country Christmas Celebration. Here, Santa visits with Elena LaFountain of Ticonderoga.

ELIZABETHTOWN — A local nursing home says they’ve switched administrators and have reviewed all protocols and procedures since they were reprimanded by the state for serious violations that put residents in “immediate jeopardy.”

The violations at the Essex Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare, which were noted in August during a site visit, were for having an ineffective resident elopement system, housing residents with inaccurate risk assessments and not having a quality assurance committee oversee such a system.

The center was also dinged for failing to provide proper safeguards against wandering.

“I’m saddened that it’s happened, but I’m not surprised,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava.

The supervisor lauded the leadership shuffle. Perhaps the county, said Scozzafava, should have focused more on solving their own administration issues before they sold the facility in the wake of massive financial hemorrhages.

But he stood by his vote, arguing that the county has an obligation to provide for elder care services. >> Story Continued | pg. 17

Center offers healthy activities to local teens New Year’s Eve lock-in planned at Albany Flight Trampoline Park

By Allison Blaise

news@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — The YMCA Teen Center in Ticonderoga has a new coordinator and she wants community members to be aware of everything the facility offers to local youth.

According to new Youth and Teen Coordinator Kaley Manning, the center, operated by the Silver Bay YMCA, has been offering healthy and entertaining activities to middle and high school students since 2011.

The center includes a full gymnasium with balls and game equipment for afternoon sports, and a sound system with popular music. The facility also contains a computer room with an X-Box, a huge television, and many popular console games. In addition, there are ping pong, foosball, air hockey and pool tables, as well as many board games, Manning said.

Plenty of space is also provided for students who wish to work on their homework, or just read a book. Planned activities are held throughout the week, including baking classes, game tournaments, and glow sports, she said.

“I think the biggest benefit of the teen center is that the kids have a safe place to hang out and have fun and a place where they can come if they ever need anything,” Manning said.

“We hope that we can get more kids to realize that the teen center is a safe place to come. We are always open to them and trying to get them involved.”

Manning said the teen center also opens its doors to entire families for events, teaching healthier eating and living habits to create a healthier and safer community.

“We always try to get more kids to stay off the streets and have a healthier life,” said Manning.

The staff of the YMCA teen center is also sponsoring a lockin on New Year’s Eve at Albany Flight Trampoline Park. The overnight trip is open to all students, grades 6-12. Food will be provided and activities will be conducted by the teen center staff throughout the night, Manning said.

According to Manning, this is the first time the center has been able to host the lock-in at a business, and the staff is excited to offer this opportunity to local students. More information concerning the Albany Flight Trampoline Park lock-

Taxes up 6 percent in Essex County Lawmakers vote to give themselves pay raises while stripping contract agency funding

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors passed their 2016 budget on Tuesday.

The $96.5 million spending plan comes with a 6.06 percent increase in the tax levy.

While the broad contours of the budget had already been hammered out, lawmakers spent the morning examining requested allocations from contract agencies.

To shave one cent from the tax rate, County Manager Dan Palmer said lawmakers needed to snip $67,000 from the 19 groups.

In the end, lawmakers saved $30,000, or about 0.03 percent of the total budget, by keeping funding for most of the groups at current spending levels.

The exceptions were Lakes to Locks, Literacy Volunteers and funds for a veteran’s memorial trip, which were saved by lawmakers offering last-minute rallies.

The Essex County Historical Society and the Adirondack Regional Airport were among the biggest losers, whose sizable requests were denied.

North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi lamented the process, which required separate resolutions for each cut.

“This happens every year,” said Politi.

Last week, county officials announced they had shaved nearly 2 percent from the projected 8 percent tax increase, or about $360,000, through reductions in retirement expenditures and maintenance for the county’s new radio system.

Following a brief debate, lawmakers also voted to give themselves three percent raises, a measure they said was necessary to attract

the next generation of leaders.

“We’re not doing a good job bringing up the farm team,” said Shaun Gillilland (RWillsboro).

Westport Supervisor Dan Connell (DWestport) agreed.

“We really limit the pool of who can afford to run for these positions,” he said. “We should have some younger people sitting on this board. And most younger people can’t afford to do it.”

The board contains 18 supervisors. Some are part-time employees of their towns, while others keep full-time hours.

Essex County Chairman Bill Ferebee (RKeene) said lawmakers face the same cost of living increases as the rank and file, who also received modest increases this year.

Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew III (R-Elizabethtown) offered an amendment to strip them of their scheduled pay bumps, which was defeated.

“It just sends the right message that we do not need these raises this year,” said Merrihew.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava (RMoriah) said if candidates can’t afford to be on the board, they shouldn’t run for the positions.

“You’re looking at a six percent increase, but we’re going to vote ourselves raises,” said Scozzafava. “We go out and knock on doors and ask for this position. When we run, we all know what the pay scale is. If you can’t afford to be on board of supervisors, then don’t be here.”

Charles Harrington (R-Crown Point) said he often wondered what his prospects would be like if the county provided his sole source of income.

“I’m afraid every one of you would be asking same question,” Harrington said.

Starting pay for lawmakers will now be $18,394.28, with additional funds allocated for each leadership position.

The chairman receives; $23,394; the budget motion to strip the raises. liaison officer, $20,394.

Supervisors Merrihew, Scozzafava, Bill The three percent raises amount to about Grinnell (R-Ticonderoga), Gerald Morrow $554 per year for the rank and file; $702 for (D-Chesterfield), David Blades (R-Lewis), the chairman and $612 for the budget officer. Ronald Moore (R-North Hudson) and Mike Supervisors also receive salaries at the Marnell (R-Schroon) voted for the amendment, while Archie Depo (Jay) was excused. town level.

Nonprofits and other agencies that local government supports provide critical services for maintaining healthy communities, said Brooks. The groups also promote a healthy economy, said the president, citing a 2013 study commissioned by Adirondack Foundation and over two dozen other nonprofits that showed a $422 million infusion into the Adirondack region.

“We understand that our elected officials must make difficult decisions, so it’s incumbent on all of us to support a strong nonprofit sector,” Brooks said.

Nursing students bring nursing history to life

TICONDEROGA — “I’ve heard voices, and I need to change the world” so declares Florence Nightingale in the North Country Community College original one act musical. Friday, Dec. 4, the NCCC Ticonderoga first year LPN students brought history to life by celebrating three well known, influential nurses: Walt Whitman, Clara Barton and Florence Nightingale. 25 students from Vermont and New York worked together to discover the role of nursing and they affect nursing had on History. Florence Nightingale instituted changes to the conditions of the hospitals in which soldiers of the Crimean war were treated. The infection measures and precautions are still used today in modern facilities.

Edward Thairu, a Vermont student, stated, “this is fantastic, it’s a revelation of how a simple soul can change the perception of the whole world. Physically, spiritually, intellectually and health wise.”

“History can teach us

so much about everything about life, because this is where it started; nursing,” said Deepa Mishra Neupane.

Mary Ellen Williams, who played Florence Nightingale, added “Its learning in motion. I really enjoy learning this way.”

Clara Barton was instrumental in starting the American Red Cross. Walt Whitman, a great American poet was also a nurse dur-

ing the Civil war. He tended to his brother and soldiers needs often writing to their families and loved ones.

“This is a perspective I didn’t know before. This brings it to light,” said Lisa Denning. Alexandra Lee added “It brings art back into nursing. It’s an interdisciplinary approach to nursing and makes a student more involved, making us create our own educational experience.”

“Dramatizing history is an important tool in the telling of where we have been and where we are going. In healthcare our history is wrought with nurses who actually have changed the world by imparting their knowledge and bringing attention to the human condition. Nursing is an essential profession, and we sometimes forget the important role nurses play in

our healthcare system. Using plays and musicals are a wonderful way to deepen our understanding of what happened but also allows us to have insight into the individual. These were extraordinary people, extraordinary nurses, we should celebrate their accomplishments. Besides, it’s fun. Learning is fun.” said Dr. Selina LeMayKlippel, NCCC professor.

W

e can talk all we want about how to best address these repeated mass killing events, but our leaders continue to miss the most important step.

You do not build a house or construct a child’s Christmas toy in one simple step. You start at the base and work your way to the finish. It requires different tools and skills to address each unique aspect. It also requires patience and the recognition of time while paying close attention to the directions.

These soft target killing sprees must stop and our leaders repeatedly make the same mistake every single time by using them to promote their political agendas and vow to put “our” arms around an issue that is just too big to address with only one approach.

Ask yourself, what have any of our leaders done to address these issues in the last 25 years, except talk and blame the other party for their failure for not building bi-partisan consensus on the other side� First and foremost we need to keep dangerous people away from destructive weapons of all types.

We know that potential weapons today include not just guns but knives, cars, planes, explosives, poisons, gases, alcohol & drugs, unstable people, and in some cases even religion.

We know most of those items by themselves are valuable everyday items in our lives but when mixed incorrectly or used by misdirected individuals they can and have become deadly.

You can not address all those items and the many more I’ve neglects to include with one approach. It requires us to divide the issues and address each individually, the same way you construct a home, build a shelving unit or put together a child’s toy…. One focused step at a time.

I learned a long time ago when taking over troubled businesses; you do your best to set priorities and try to fix one thing each day. After many days you’ve made headway. After many months you are on your way to solving problems.

After many years your efforts begin to pay dividends.

Unfortunately, there will always be more problems to solve and in order to keep the dividends flowing, the same process must continually be applied to the new problems that will undoubtedly arise in the future. >> Column Continued | pg. 5

Cooler heads need to prevail

L

ike everyone else, we’re struggling to understand this rash of violence at home and abroad.

The nature of these attacks is hard to stomach and it’s difficult to understand what’s driving them.

We’re unsettled and saddened by not only this jarring violence, but also feel as if we’ve entered an uncertain new era as the dueling threads of terrorism and mass shootings have seemingly wound themselves together to form a new breed of unpleasantness.

Not surprisingly, the rash of tragedies has led to a jittery public.

There’s been no shortage of politicians seizing on this fear and capitalizing on the tragedies before all the facts are known.

Both sides have been quick to assign blame, be it on the availability of guns or what some perceive to be lax national security policies.

Muslim leaders across the United States are already reporting a new wave of xenophobic sentiment and hateful episodes not seen since the Sept. 11 attacks.

The fear-mongering being spewed against Islam by several GOP presidential hopefuls, including Donald Trump and Ben Carson, has been particularly odious, including calls for a national registry and the closing of mosques.

ISIS, who took responsibility for the Paris attacks, thrives on this knee-jerk reaction.

This escalation of rhetoric plays into their hands and is used as a recruitment tool, attracting disaffected people like Tashfeen Malik, the San Bernardino perpetrator whom authorities believe was radicalized by the terrorist group.

The combination of widespread access to guns and hate speech is a noxious combination.

Shaming American Muslims and putting them on the defense is not the answer.

But neither is sweeping gun control reform.

With 300 million firearms circulating in the US, any policy seeking to restrict firearms from circulation will not work.

In the wake of these shootings, more and more guns are being pumped into the country’s national bloodstream. It’s a weapons boomlet fueled by those seeking safety and as a possible bulwark against future legislation.

The actions are amplified by officials like Paul Van Blarcum, the Ulster County Sheriff who sparked a firestorm last week when he urged licensed gun owners to carry their weapons in public.

How about Europe� Haven’t they nipped mass shootings in the bud� While advocates point at Australia’s massive gun buyback program following a 1996 mass shooting as a success that helped curb gun homicide, the same program is unlikely to be successful here, owing to both our sacrosanct gun culture, our porous borders and our climate of entrenched political polarization.

More sensible solutions, as others have pointed out, are universal background checks, longer waiting periods and banning sales of firearms to those on the country’s no fly lists.

The American public agrees with these proposals.

An October Gallup poll, which was taken shortly after a mass shooting left 9 dead at an Oregon college, determined 55 percent of Americans said they supported stricter gun control laws.

In that same poll, 86 percent of Americans said they favored legislation that would require universal background checks for all gun purchases in the US, while a recent Quinnipiac poll found 77 percent of respondents were in favor of closing the so-called terror gap, the loophole that allows those on the fed-

eral government’s terrorist watch list to purchase firearms.

That measure was defeated by the Senate GOP last week, and was one that President Obama took them to task for in his address on Sunday night.

We agree with the president that lawmakers should immediately get to work on crafting policies that will protect the American public, but throwing legislation at the problem does little but appease the party faithful.

At the same time, it should be made easier to flag the mentally ill.

While we’re not calling for a McCarthy-type system of citizen surveillance and spying, it might not be a bad idea for all of us to be more alert of our surroundings and alert authorities of red flags as they pop up.

Time and time again after these incidents, we’ve learned the perps have left a long trail of unheeded alarm bells prior to committing their heinous acts, but it goes unreported due to onerous privacy laws, cutbacks in mental health funding or other loopholes.

To be clear, while we continue to have serious reservations about our state’s controversial gun control legislation, the SAFE Act provision giving judges the power to strip firearms from those found to be mentally unfit is a model that should be emulated nationwide.

We cannot, however, get behind the calls from the far left to outright ban semi-automatic weapons like the ones used by the perpetrators in San Bernardino, Colorado Springs and in other massacre sites across the US. As we’ve seen here in New York, it would make otherwise law-abiding citizens criminals, while loopholes would undoubtedly arise that would circumvent the regulations.

Criminals would still secure weapons, leaving the public increasingly at the mercy of law enforcement agencies for their protection, while their trustworthiness and credibility has also been called into question in a parallel national debate.

We cannot entirely legislate our way out of what has become a national crisis, but failure to act is no longer an option.

GiveÊ toÊ UnitedÊ Way

FeelÊ goodÊ aboutÊ giving

To the Editor: Our community has experienced some tough times in the past few years.

Many of your friends, neighbors and coworkers need help today that they didn’t need 2 or 3 years ago.

The United Way campaign is one of the easiest ways to help give back to our community because 100 percent of the funds raised stay here in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties and directly support programs and services provided by our 42 partner agencies.

I am passionate about this campaign because I have seen firsthand just where a large percentage of our community stands today-our neighbors are hurting. But our community has always demonstrated the willingness to volunteer and contribute to these 35 United Way agencies who serve more than 80,000 people every year-and that number continues to grow.

Our campaign has an aggressive goal-to raise $725,000 this year. To achieve this year. To achieve this goal, we have to engage more members of our community. If you have not donated in the past, you are the one that can make a difference in the lives of your neighbors who need it most. Consider the few dollars you spend each week on coffee.

We always have had wonderful people here in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties that truly care about their neighbors...and that is what really makes our community great.

If you have a United Way campaign at your workplace, please support it and talk up the need and value to our community to your friends, family and coworkers. If you don’t have an employee campaign but would like to give to the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc., please call 5630028. You can also visit our website unitedwayadk.org, for more information on the 42 agencies served or to view our campaign video.

Kathy Snow Plattsburgh

To the Editor: The Adirondack region has over 750 nonprofit organizations listed with New York’s Department of State. This group, as a whole, does a number of things daily that touch all of our lives. Some organizations are protecting our life-sustaining environment for the future; many others are helping our youth grow up to be strong, responsible, contributing members of our community; some deal with the horrors of domestic abuse of women and children; and several agencies help those near the end of their lives.

In the small towns that make up most of the Adirondack region, the nonprofit sector is best represented by the people. When you give to a charity, an organization, or even an institution, what you’re really doing is supporting the people that make it tick.

When you give to PRIDE of Ticonderoga, you’re helping the staff and volunteers invest in the community’s future. When you give to High Peaks Hospice, you help people like Joseph Dufour and Brenda Stevens provide the best possible care for their patients in Warren County. Your donations help the dedicated volunteers at the Adirondack Community Outreach Center provide clothing, food, mentoring, and many other services in North Creek and Johnsburg. A gift to the Indian Lake Library means Nancy Berkowitz and her team can operate an excellent community resource for residents of Hamilton County.

We could go on and on. We hope you will look within your own community to see the many and increasing needs that require our attention—even as we remain vigilant about needs elsewhere. With issues like family economic instability, and costs of living increases, many more people will need support in the coming months, and perhaps years.

Our charitable dollars can have a direct and often immediate impact on helping people meet basic needs. If the economy is affecting those of us fortunate enough not to think about putting food on our table, then imagine the impact it’s having on those who almost always need to think about the source of their next meal or rent check.

Make giving back a family affair by involving children, parents, siblings and others in your giving decisions. Consider making a financial gift or volunteering your time for a local charity.

Please consider contacting Adirondack Foundation to discuss how we can partner with you to give back or visit AdirondackGives.org to make an immediate impact today.

PrayÊ forÊ theÊ USA! To the Editor: As Trump said on TV “Pray for the victims of the terrorist attack, then be prepared for World War III. It is not coming, it is here.”

A sheriff down south of here said, “If you have a pistol permit, start carrying.”

I would like to go one step further. If you have a carry permit, call your local sheriff and request he opens up his department pistol range to citizens and provide his firearms training staff to qualify you in safety, marksmanship, and firearms law. Just because you own a hand gun no more makes you a marksman then a hammer makes you a carpenter!

I would urge each and every gun owner to call Cuomo and not ask but demand the gun stupid act be repealed. We need to go back to being a nation of armed marksmen and women. Armed citizens stopped the Japanese from continuing from Hawaii to California at the beginning of WWII. Most of the local conservation clubs have shooting ranges. Maybe the police could use them to train shooters. Something tells me, we are going to need a citizen militia very soon.

Stay safe, stay armed, keeping the faith.

George Phillips Chestertown

Alexander From page 4

once again for the people.

I fear that’s a risky gamble but it shows how desperate many are becoming.

With the world in turmoil, a frustrated electorate at home, a government that is paralyzed by in-fighting, and a national media that no longer serves as the nation’s watchdog, the nation’s voters must figure out a way to put aside its partisan interests and make a critical decision in the best interest of the entire nation, if not the world.

The nation has always found a way to select the right leader at the right time.

Our system of government and the American people will once again be put to the test as designed by our nation’s founders to cut through the bragging and over-stated, unrealistic promises to make a choice in 2016. Let us hope we make the right choice and set the nation on a new course to prosperity and peace.

DENIM DAYS

When the Indian Lake Central School Faculty and Staff put on their jeans for a Denim Day, it seems they reach for ones with deep pockets. Two times a month during the school year, teachers and staff set aside a day to wear jeans to school. In return for dressing comfortably, they make a donation to a specific community organization. Fundraising efforts in November are for Operation Santa.

This non-profit organization began in Hudson Falls forty years ago as a way to help families in need at the holidays. Indian Lake Faculty Association has proudly participated with this organization for 38 years. Funds that are raised for Operation Santa benefit families in the Indian Lake community by providing money for clothing and food for the holidays. Two Denim days were held in November so children in our community will be warmer this winter.

Little Bits Christmas Music Gordie Little

Columnist

S

ome radio stations began playing Christmas music before Halloween.

I love the holidays, but this is a bit much. Back in my radio days, we had strict rules about when the carols and secular songs were spun on the turntables (yes, there were turntables at that time).

After Thanksgiving, there was only one per hour. They became more frequent as December 25th grew closer. It wasn’t the 18th that the Christmas music was “wall-to-wall.” We wrote, produced and recorded numerous, special Christmas programs. We played many parts as we repeated some of the same shows each year and added new ones.

It was hard, but happy work for those of us in that medium way back when. I, for one, remember them with great fondness. We broadcast live from area churches. We played dozens of school musical presentations.

We did our bit to spread Christmas joy using all 1,000 watts of radio transmitter power. The season was magical and we tried to keep it that way.

Some of that wonder, charm and delight has been worn thin by garrulous glitter and mandatory gift-giving. We all get caught up in the process, but at our house, Kaye and I struggle to keep it beautiful and simple, at least in our hearts.

That’s not easy with such a huge family, but we firmly believe that LOVE is the essence of it all and we have plenty to go around. Our taste in holiday music ranges from the ridiculous to the sublime. “I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” would fit the former and “We Three Kings” would define the latter.

I’ll wager none of you recall who recorded the hippopotamus song. It was Gayla Peevey who was just 10 in 1953 when radio stations began to play it regularly. I am pleased that there are still those who can sing the lyrics with Kaye and me. It was a favorite for our late son, Gary.

It’s also possible you are not familiar with the Plattsburgh connection attached to “We Three Kings.” I’m here to fill in the blanks. It was penned by John Henry Hopkins, Jr. in 1857. He wrote both the words and music for a New York City Christmas pageant. It wasn’t published until 1863. Hopkins graduated from UVM and became rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Plattsburgh in 1872.

He would no doubt stir in his grave if he heard the sacrilegious lyrics we applied to his wonderful carol when we were kids.

Smoking on a rubber cigar, indeed.

I beg you not to forget the traditional carols as you try to keep up with the frantic rush of the season. But we must also let our hair down occasionally and sing silly songs like “Hippopotamus.”

And, if anybody cares, It is proper to refer to hippopotamuses as the plural, if you feel silly talking about hippopotami.

EYE ON THE ARTS

LINDA DOLLY

> Arts Editor

linda@suncommunitynews.com

I heart u!

I love the collective us, those who live in Northern New York.

There is no reason to tiptoe around the subject: we know it, and they know it. The people from the country, or even the suburbs, are different than those who live in urban environments.

Some say the difference is because we don’t have the same opportunities as urbanites; others think it’s because they don’t have the same opportunities we enjoy. Both are probably true.

Awesome After living in large cities, small cities, the suburbs and rural areas, I believe rural areas have a disproportionate number of people who go above what is required. Because of their moxie, leadership skills or cleverness they bring a spark, and because of it, the event or project is even better.

Baby, it’s dark out there For example, we see more stars than those living in a city, it’s a fact. On a clear night, free of light pollution, we can see galaxies of stars. Not everyone has access to a majestic evening sky — it’s a lifestyle choice.

displays featuring local history. Discounts are also available at the in-house gift shop.

Gordie, please pass the yellow crayon However, those historians weren’t satisfied. They wanted to make their open house even better.

They “turned up the volume” by inviting a local man about town: Gordie Little. Little is curious by nature, so he will be stopping by the open house on Saturday, Dec. 12 from 1 to 3 p.m. After checking his favorite exhibits, Little will sign copies of his recently-published coloring book for adults. The book, titled “Little’s G littles,” can be purchased at the museum store. The Clinton County Museum is located at 98 Ohio Avenue in Plattsburgh. For more information about this program, please contact the Clinton County Historical Association at 561-0340.

A few more notes The Keene Valley Congregational Church will be jamming when the Market Street Brass performs a mix of seasonal music. The six local musicians are from Keene, Keene Valley, and Chestertown.

The ensemble will assemble in Keene Valley on Dec. 20 at 4 p.m. Students are free and there is a suggested donation of $10 for others.

Kicking it up In Tupper Lake, there are numerous wild places to see amazing twinklings from above. However, it wasn’t enough for some people in Tupper Lake — they want more. As a result of their desire and tenacity coupled with member donations, they kicked it up a bit.

Now Tupper Lake has a place called the Adirondack Public Observatory (APO).

Additionally, there is an affiliated outdoor space called Roll Off the Roof Observatory (RORO). I assume the name came from the extremely steep roof. At ROR, they offer free public stargazings with an astronomer and the use of some of their equipment. These sessions are on the first and third Fridays of the month, from now until Labor Day, weather permitting. There is no preregistration: it’s first-come, first- served.

Observations begin 30 minutes after sunset.

Before heading out, make sure it is a cloudless sky. That information is available by calling 359-6317 or 359-3538. You can also go to their website, apobservatory.org or visit their Facebook page.

The ROR is at 178 Big Wolf Road in Tupper Lake. Plus, there is a map on the website.

Well done, astronomers from Tupper Lake. Well done.

Dolly’s Word: On Northern Highlights

Falalalalala Three dynamic musical groups will take the stage for a free concert at St. Peter’s Church on Cornelia Street in Plattsburgh on Saturday, Dec. 12. Champlain Valley’s Sweet Carolines, who we all know and love, are presenting a program called “Towne Meeting.” The outfit is known for their powerful vocal harmonies, eclectic musical styles and their wicked sense of humor. As if that wasn’t enough, the Cumberland Bay Show Chorus is also in the lineup.

Don’t miss this heartwarming musical event for the entire family.

Thought from around the campfire Several years ago, we had some friends visit. They were from a densely populated area. While they were here, we didn’t do anything special, just the usual country stuff. On the way home, smelling like a campfire, Jack made an observation: “All your friends tell a good story.”

I hadn’t realized it before, but I knew he was right.

“We spend time outside looking at stars, walking in the woods, and like tonight, encircling a bonfire,” I said. “We are frequently in situations that encourage conversation. We’ve had practice telling tales and spinning yarns.”

In the not too distant future, I will be describing’s the night I saw the Geminids meteors, you can take my word for it.

Star light, star bright At the same time I discovered the observatory, I read about the Geminids Meteor Shower, which is happening now. The observation area will not be open to the public that night. It will be up to you to see the light show, if interested, pay attention.

The Geminids meteors are bright and appear multicolored, which is a bonus for an already spectacular event. These meteors seem to originate from the Gemini constellation (look it up) and span from Dec. 7 - 17. At the peak, Sunday, Dec. 12 and Monday, Dec. 13, on a clear night there will be around 120 sightings per hour.

Optimum visibility is either mid-evening, between 9 to 10 p.m., or between midnight and dawn. The waxing crescent moon provides a cover of darkness for the meteor shower.

Remember: You want a clear night. Next, find a location void of extraneous lights. Finally, look up.

Affiliates of the observatory: Way to bring it by sharing the information!

Thank you.

Ti Area Chamber announces ‘Think Local’ campaign TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce (TACC) announces the launch of their “Think Local” campaign with the tag line of “Think Local! Shop! Spend!

Support! Your Community – Your Future.”

Throughout the Ticonderoga Area you will begin to see the new “Think Local” logo in different ways including banners, signs, window clings at businesses and organizations, and on the Chamber’s social media accounts including facebook, twitter, and Instagram.

In addition the Chamber will continue to educate and promote to the local community on the importance and impact of supporting the local economy and how it significantly impacts the community as a whole. The Chamber will do this through an array of avenues including a promotional flyer on “10 Reasons To Think Local.” The Chamber will also continue to work closely with area businesses, organizations, and the largest community employers to promote this concept and campaign.

“Over the last five years the Chamber has been promoting the importance of spending locally and supporting the local economy. As the Chamber continues to grow in capacity with the support of our dedicated members and partners we decided it was time to take the “Local Concept” to the next level.

We will begin our “Think Local” campaign with a new logo, education, and general promotion and education of the concepts over the next year with future plans to do even more,” shared Matthew Courtright – TACC Executive Director.

The Chamber decided to launch the “Think Local” campaign the first week in December during the annual Ticonderoga Area North Country Christmas Celebration which highlights Ticonderoga Area businesses and organizations through Christmas and Holiday celebrations. The annual event also includes Small Business Saturday and the Holiday

Shopping & Dining Night which are focused on supporting the local economy.

There are a number of reasons to Shop, Spend, & Support the Ticonderoga Area economy. As a community member you can help boost, build, maintain and strengthen your community. By supporting local you are supporting Ticonderoga Area entrepreneurs, businesses, organizations who are your friends, neighbors, and fellow community members. The money you spend local recirculates in your community.

Ticonderoga Area businesses and organizations reinvest in

their community. When you spend locally you are allowing them to support local non-profits, events, fundraisers and the community as a whole. You also support local jobs and job creation. The Chamber will be showcasing statistics and more important facts on Supporting Local over the next year.

For more information on the Think Local Campaign, a Ticonderoga Area business directory, calendar of events, or general area information visit ticonderogany.com, call 5856619, or visit the Chamber Office located at 94 Montcalm Street, Suite 1.

TACC seeks special community events TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce is continually working to improve their community calendar of events to remain the central calendar for the area. TACC is looking for area businesses, organizations, and committees to share their event information as well as a schedule of upcoming special events. The calendar will serve as the central location for the Chamber, community members, and visitors in finding events within the area and answering event questions, as well as a referencing tool used when planning future events in the Ticonderoga area.

“It is important to keep a centralized calendar, where information

about events can be shared, not only to promote the area, but to eliminate as many scheduling conflicts as possible.

We strongly encourage area businesses and organizations to share information in regards to their 2016 events as soon as possible. Even if you only have the basic information, please submit it to the Chamber. In addition we encourage everyone to use the calendar and contact the Chamber when choosing dates to host an event, Molly Bechard the Chamber’s Visitor & Member Service Representative keeps the calendar as up to date as possible. Please help the Chamber showcase all the events the area has to offer by providing event information on a regular basis. The TACC also assists in coordinating the

Ticonderoga, E-town hospital administrator resigns ELIZABETHTOWN — Rodney Boula, chief executive officer of the University of Vermont Health Network - Elizabethtown Community Hospital, has resigned after 11 years at the helm.

“Rod has made significant contributions to Elizabethtown Community Hospital,” said Board Chair Jim Forcier. Boula came to the hospital in 2004, when the hospital was struggling. Since that time, the hospital has become financially sound, improved its infrastructure, updated its clinical equipment, underwent a $6 million expansion project in 2008 and added a number of critical services including chemotherapy, cardiac rehab and MRI. It is currently in the midst of a $10 million renovation and expansion of its inpatient nursing and physical therapy department.

Boula has accepted a position as CEO at Calais Regional Hospital, a critical access hospital.

“Elizabethtown Community Hospital has gone through such a positive transformation over the past decade, in terms of facility renovations, improved services and staff development, it is simply time for

me to accept another challenge,” he said.

A search for Boula’s replacement has been initiated. According to Forcier, an interim CEO will also be recruited to address, among other priorities, the transition of Inter-Lakes Health (ILH).

The Ticonderoga-based health care facility is in the midst of assuming a new role in the region’s health care system.

Elizabethtown Community Hospital and the UVM Health Network have played an integral role in helping ILH and will continue that work.

“Rod and the ILH staff have done so much important work at Inter-Lakes Health to lay the groundwork for the transition,” commented Stephens Mundy, president of Community Providers Inc., parent company of Elizabethtown Community Hospital and CVPH. “The University of Vermont Health Network and its partners are committed to ensuring that the people of Ticonderoga, and its surrounding communities, will continue to have access to quality health care services.”

Boula’s resignation becomes effective in February 2016.

Katie LaPeter wins Prestigious Award in SUNY Student Art Show TICONDEROGA — Katie LaPeter, a sophomore at North Country Community College’s Ticonderoga Campus, was awarded a Best of Show Award at the Fall 2015 SUNY Student Art Show in Albany. Her work “Pattern Portrait” was selected as one of the best of over one hundred submissions in the annual statewide event.

During an official ceremony Wednesday, Dec. 2, she was recognized by Dr. Alexander Cartwright, Provost & Executive Vice-Chancellor of SUNY. “At first I was shocked when I heard the news,” said Katie. “At the

reception I was so excited to see my work displayed in a professional gallery.” She explained that students from other colleges came up to her and told her that they really liked her piece. “I was thrilled and proud!” she said.

“The whole campus is so proud of Katie. She is a talented young woman and the students and faculty are delighted that her pieces are being recognized on a state level,” says Innam Dajany, Coordinator of the Ticonderoga campus. “We feel very fortunate at SUNY North Country Community College to have artist Cyndy Barbone Golde teaching our art courses and guiding our students.” “Cyndy is an amazing teacher to have, “ comments Katie. “She has helped me with everything and makes sure that I keep working on all of my projects.”

Three of Katie’s artworks will be on display at the State University Plaza’s Gallery in Albany through January 2016.

expansion project, said Marnell.

The lawmaker said the town hopes to obtain grants and take out long-term bonds for the $900,000 project, which will see an additional 2,500 square feet of space tacked onto the Leland Street complex.

The amount to be raised by taxes is $2,686,102; total appropriations clock in at $4,663,086.

Originally set to increase taxes by nearly 20 percent, the board softened the blow by using $100,000 from their fund balance to offset the levy.

Councilman Don Sage, who criticized the spending plan and personnel issues in a letter to the Sun Community News before the budget passed unanimously on Nov. 5, said he looked forward to discussing employee pay issues in the future.

“The board was not following its own guidelines,” said Sage.

Essex Center From page 1

“We provide better for inmates than we provide for our elderly and schools,” said Scozzafava. “That’s a sad, sad reality.”

Thomas McCartin, a spokesman for the facility, stressed that no elopement took place.

“It was the state’s judgement however, that there was a potential risk,” said McCartin. “That risk was addressed and mitigated immediately.”

State inspectors returned one month later and concurred.

All violations have since been corrected, said McCartin. The next round of inspections should be favorable, he said.

Those results are expected imminently.

Inspections at the facility have revealed a mixed bag.

Citations from November 2011 through Oct. 31 of this year have determined life safety code citations at Essex Center are below the state average.

Standard health citations are slightly above average, while the percentage of citations related to actual harm or immediate jeopardy comes in at the state average.

Total citations for the four-year period clock in at 38, slightly above the state average of 35.

Residents at the facility seemed cheerful during recent visits by the Sun. Many were outfitted with transponder devices that sounded when they arose from their wheelchairs.

The report comes nearly two years after Essex County sold the 100-bed facility to Centers Health Care, a Bronx-based chain, for $4 million.

Lawmakers who voted against the sale expressed dismay when told of the violations.

The Warren County Board of Supervisors is having a similar debate. Centers Health Care is in the process of buying Westmount Health Facility for $2.3 million.

Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow, who voted against the Essex County sale, had sage advice for his counterparts: “Be careful what you do,” said Morrow. “It’s better to have a second look.”

www.suncommunitynews.com

The Essex Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare in Elizabethtown has been cited by the state health department for multiple violations. The report comes as Warren County is finalizing the details of their sale to the same buyers, who took over the center in Elizabethtown from Essex County in 2014.

Return of the leagues: MVAC, CVAC back for basketball

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — While the move to the Northern Soccer Division seems here to stay, the same cannot be said for the Northern Basketball League.

After the two year, three division experiment started, it is now over, as Section VII basketball will return to the traditional two conference format of the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference and Champlain Valley Athletic Conference.

However, the change back to the traditional leagues does not come without some changes.

Lake Placid, who had their boys team in the MVAC and girls team in the CVAC prior to the NBL, will now play entirely in the MVAC. Another defector from the CVAC is Seton Catholic, who will now play in Northern Division of the MVAC. While previously under a three-division format, the MVAC will return to a Northern and Southern division for the 2015-16 season. Northern Division schools include Chazy, Seton Catholic, Willsboro, Westport, Elizabethtown-Lewis, Keene and Lake Placid.

Wells, Crown Point, Indian Lake/Long Lake, Minerva/Newcomb, Schroon Lake and Johnsburg make up the Southern Division.

The CVAC will also return to a two-division format, with Plattsburgh High, Saranac, Peru, Beekmantown and Northeastern Clinton making up Division I, while AuSable Valley, Northern Adirondack, Saranac Lake, Moriah and Ticonderoga will make up Division II.

Classification Some changes have also come to where teams will be classified come sectional playoff time.

Six teams will vie for the Class B title as Peru, who has been a Class A school for the past two seasons, returns to Class B to join Beekmantown, Northeastern Clinton, Plattsburgh High, Saranac and Saranac Lake.

Four teams will vie for the Class C title, with Northern Adirondack, who played Class D in boys soccer, opting to stay in Class C for

basketball, being joined by Northern Adirondack, Seton Catholic and Ticonderoga.

As always, the biggest pool of potential Section VII champions comes from Class D. Lake Placid, whose girls played as a Class C team, will now play solely as a Class D team, along with Moriah, who boasts both defending sectional champions and the two-time consecutively state semifinalists in its boys program.

Joining those teams in the Class D mix are Chazy, Crown Point, Elizabethtown-Lewis, Indian Lake/Long Lake, Johnsburg, Keene, Minerva/Newcomb, Schroon Lake, Wells, Westport and Willsboro.

The defending sectional champions include the Moriah boys (state semifinalist) and girls in Class D, Northern Adirondack boys and girls (state finalists) in Class C, Saranac girls and Plattsburgh boys in Class B and the Peru boys and girls in Class A.

Playoffs While the regular season is still over two months from completion, the sectional playoffs will begin Tuesday, Feb. 16: Tuesday, Feb. 16 - Class B girls quarterfinals, Class D girls preliminary round Wednesday, Feb. 17 - Class B boys quarterfinals, Class D boys preliminary round, Class C girls semifinals (at Beekmantown) Thursday, Feb. 18 - Class C boys semifinals (at Beekmantown) Friday, Feb. 19 - Class B girls semifinals (at Northern Adirondack), Class D girls quarterfinals Saturday, Feb. 20 - Class B boys semifinals (at Northern Adirondack), Class D boys quarterfinals Tuesday, Feb. 23 - Class D girls semifinals (at AuSable Valley) Wednesday, Feb. 24 - Class D boys semifinals (at AuSable Valley) Friday, Feb. 26 - Section VII girls championships at PSUC Fieldhouse (Class D 4:30 p.m., Class C 6:15 p.m., Class B 8 p.m.)

Saturday, Feb. 27 - Section VII boys championships at PSUC Fieldhouse (Class D noon, Class C 1:45 p.m., Class B 3:30 p.m.)

While Angie Stellabotte (left) and the Schroon Lake Wildcats return to Division II of the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference, Samantha Spear and the Peru Eagles return to Division I of the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference as well as into the Class B championship picture, dropping from Class A, where they had been the previous two years.

States The Section VII/Class C winners will receive a bye to the regional championship game, which will be played Saturday, March 5, at the Fieldhouse. The Class D champions will have to face the Section X winner for the right to play the Section II champion in the regional final, with boys playing in Section II

and girls playing at the Fieldhouse. The Class B champions will start their state playoffs at the Section II champion, hoping to advance to travel to the Section X champion with a trip to the final four on the line.

The NYSPHSAA boys state championships will be held March 11-13 at the Glens Falls Civic Center, while the girls state championships will be held on the same dates at Hudson Valley Community College.

Law practices to merge

Mountainside Christian Academy girls basketball SCHROON — The MCA girls varsity basketball team will be few in numbers, but mighty in experience for the 2015-16 season.

“We are a small team this year, but we have many returning players,” head coach Dawn Martin said. “As a team, we are excited about playing other schools in the area.’

For the team, Martin said they look forward to a solid season where basketball is not the only thing that matters.

“We look forward to working on new plays and sharing our love of basketball and Jesus Christ with other teams,” she said.

Martin is assisted by Janet Bresnahan.

MCA girls roster Brianna Mieras Carrie Bresnahan Sarah Smith Kiersten Hay Ava Storman Lauren Blaise Courtney Baker Kayli Hayden

Mountainside Christian Academy boys basketball Gideon Paris SCHROON — It is a youth movement for MCA boys the MCA boys varsity basketball team as the Collin Bresnahan roster 2015-16 season approaches.

Cian Bresnahan “We are young but have a lot of talent,” head Ruben Lamos Harrison Blaise coach Paul Mieras said. “We will struggle in Andrew Lintner Luke Rider our big tournament in Binghamton but we will Jaike Brady Ben Storman fair well against the rest of our regular season Kirk Hayden Bryant Mieras opponents.”

While Mieras said the team is young, it does return experienced members to the varsity program.

“We have three starters returning from last season plus a fresh young group of players to add,” he said.

GLENS FALLS — Two well-known regional law firms have announced plans to merge their practices and expand services available to their clients.

Kimberly M. Wells and Sterling T. Goodspeed have agreed to join their two firms with offices in Glens Falls and Johnsburg.

“The idea is to provide a broad spectrum of legal services both to the Glens Falls area and the entire Adirondack Region,” Wells said.

The new firm, Wells & Goodspeed will maintain physical offices at 40 Dix Avenue, Glens Falls and at the intersection of Rtes 8 and 28 in Johnsburg.

“Merging our two offices permits us to make more legal services available in the Adirondacks while adding depth to the Glens Falls practice,” Wells said.

In addition to handling real estate matters, estate planning, divorce and family court practice, the new firm will add criminal defense to its service areas.

Goodspeed, who served two terms as Warren County District Attorney and ten years as Hamilton County Assistant District Attorney will again handle defense work as he concluded his prosecution work to facilitate the merger.

“Kim and I were opposed to each other in a difficult trial some years ago,” Goodspeed recalled. “I always remembered her as a skilled practitioner and importantly, a good person.

The idea of working together to build something of significance is something we both find exciting.”

The firm will joined by associated Linda Richards, who brings with her two decades in the U.S. Air Force Jag Corps, as well as experience as an administrative hearing officer.

Additionally, paralegal and support staff joining the newly merged firm include Sandra Dubay, paralegal, Susan Goodspeed, paralegal and Sarah Brennan, legal secretary.

The merger is effective Tuesday, Dec. 1, and the two firms can be reached at both 7430455 and 251-2702.
