Town nets $227,000 from campers The Town of Moriah reduces taxes using campsite profits

By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

MORIAH | The Town of Moriah netted $227,809 from its two public campgrounds this year.

The Moriah Town Council released financial figures from the two campgrounds at its recent meeting.

Bulwagga Bay and Champ RV Park campgrounds on Lake Champlain will also be the subject of a public hearing on Thursday, Dec. 28 at 10 a.m. in the Moriah Town Courthouse to set 2018 seasonal site fees.

Councilman Paul Salerno said Bulwagga Bay brought in $294,940 this year and netted $143,223, while Champ RV Park had gross receipts of $129,765 and a profit of $84,586.

Champ RV Park had belonged to the Village of Port Henry, which dissolved on March 31 and its properties and duties were turned over to the town.

Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava was authorized to sign the Teamsters Union local agreement for 2018 for town employees.

Workers who are union members will receive 3 percent wage increases in the new contract.

Among changes, the working building and grounds supervisor and police officer-in-charge will no longer be union members. The police supervisory salary was set at $55,000 a year.

Scozzafava, Salerno and Councilman Tim Garrison voted for the contract, with council members Luci Carpenter and Thomas Anderson absent.

Scozzafava was also authorized to sign a contract with Crane Associates of Burlington, Vt. for phase II of the waterfront development study for the town, which will be done using a $75,000 state grant.

It was the last meeting for Garrison, who did not seek re-election. He was given a recognition award by the town for his service to the community.

“For eight years, it’s been a fun ride,” he said. “We managed to get a lot done in that eight years. It was educational.”

He said he worked on a lot of improvement projects for the town, some still in progress.

“We’re going to miss you, Tim,” Scozzafava said. “I won’t have anybody to fight with.”

Councilman-elect Matt Brassard, who will take Garrison’s seat on Jan. 1, attended the meeting. ■

The New York State Regional Economic Development Council initiative is intended to create jobs and stimulate economic growth.

The biggest award, $2.45 million, went to the Fort Ticonderoga Association to restore the historic Pell Pavilion on the fort’s grounds.

The pavilion overlooking the King’s Garden was once a hotel that hosted President Taft, among other notables. » Development Cont. on pg. 7

Counterfeit bill passed in Ti A Vermont woman allegedly shopped at Walmart with bogus cash

Police for felony 2nd-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument.

Police said that on Nov. 3, Delong went shopping at the Ticonderoga Walmart with the counterfeit bill and made purchases. She was tracked down by using security camera footage to identify her.

Delong was processed and arraigned in Ticonderoga Town Court. She was released on her own recognizance and will appear in Ticonderoga Town Court at a later date.

The case was investigated by Patrolman Thomas Ruby of the Ticonderoga Police Department. ■

For more information, the public is invited check out the department on Facebook at “Chilson Volunteer Fire Department,” and all are welcome drop in to one of the department’s monthly membership meetings on the second Monday of every month at 7 p.m. at the fire house at 60 Putts Pond Road in Ticonderoga. ■

» EMT Cont. from pg. 1

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors heard more about efforts to bring an EMT degree program to North Country Community College during its Dec. 5 monthly board meeting.

County EMS Coordinator Patty Bashaw said EMT training is currently done through Mountain Lakes Services with a class scheduled to begin inJanuary at NCCC to see if there is interest.

“There are already 14 students enrolled, and the instructors like to have classes between 12 and 15 students,” Bashaw said.

Bashaw said it would take as many as two years to get a degree program approved, adding there are facilities ready to help sponsor the EMT training program.

“Elizabethtown is looking to help sponsor the course,” Bashaw said. “It could be a program which would be taught in Elizabethtown and then beamed out to other counties.

That could be huge for many counties because, as of now, the closest program is in the Hudson Valley. So, for NCCC to enter into a relationship with Mountain Lakes is huge.”

Supervisors said they hope progress continues to move forward.

“I think what we have heard here today is good news,” said Newcomb Supervisor Wes Miga. “I think it’s also good news that this program could be done in a way to get other communities involved in it.”

“I am excited because we are definitely going forward,” Bashaw said.

Dr. Steven Tyrell, president of NCCC, also expressed his excitement for the program.

“I am very much looking forward to see where this program will go for us and for Essex County,” Tyrell said. “We are

Tyrell also said there could be a parallel between the proposed EMT and current nursing program at the school.

Crown Point’s Charles Harrington said he likes the idea of the program and feels it will be a strong sell to local students.

“Focusing on the school college nights and BOCES is a good step because that is where you will get your workforce to gather in,” Harrington said.

Thoughts from behind the pressline

Sharing the holiday This is the time of year when we think about others, putting a smile on the faces of those we love and

By Dan Alexander even those we hardly • PUBLISHER • know. Many feel an even deeper joy when they can bring a smile to a perfect stranger.

The celebration of Hanukkah and Christmas is all about hope, faith, and love. It’s a time for giving and receiving, a time for friends and family and it’s a time to remember the true meaning of the season of light and how the birth of a child changed our world forever.

In a world as mixed up as ours gets from time to time, where would we be without light and hope?

This time of year when the darkness invades our lives here in the northeast even the simple twinkle of holiday lights is enough to lift our spirits. Those lights pale in comparison to the true light of life we earnestly seek.

We would all like to have a storybook holiday season, and while each of us does our best to try and bring the right attitude into the holidays, we know that for many a holiday is just another day, devoid of light and hope.

Perhaps it’s the loss of a loved one, an illness or an addiction that keeps them from experiencing the joys of this season. It’s all the more reason we need to reach out to others during this time, helping them to experience the joy that is meant to shared.

It’s amazing what a little hope, faith, and love can do in your life and those you reach out to if you are willing to share with someone less fortunate.

Let’s face it, with all of our Holiday preparations and trappings we’ve developed over the years, at the end of the day wouldn’t you rather trade off a few of those tasks for a more perfect world filled with respect, sharing, light, hope, and true peace for all?

On behalf of The Sun Community News family, I would like to wish you and yours a very joyous holiday, a prosperous New Year and hope all your holiday wishes come true. God bless us, one and all.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and best wishes in the coming New Year. ■

Opinion

suncommunitynews.com/opinions

From the Editorial Board

Net neutrality repeal will hurt North Country The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed net neutrality laws last week, a measure that will undoubtedly change the way people across the U.S. interact with the internet — especially here in the remote North Country.

The rollback arrives at a time when so many communities are making headway in receiving high-speed broadband for the first time as part of sweeping state initiative.

Trashing the Obama-era internet restrictions, despite widespread public opposition, will allow heavyweight broadband providers like Verizon, AT&T, Spectrum and Comcast to block or throttle content, essentially providing fast and slow lanes in a form of tiered service.

We join open internet advocates in fearing this could lead to segregation of the internet.

Imagine paying a premium for Netflix or Amazon on top of your average monthly fee, just like the cable packages Americans are increasingly fleeing from in droves.

Or a provider blocking content to websites or smartphone apps they find disagreeable or politically unpalatable.

Facebook, Google and Netflix have all

sounded off against the measure.

Advocates claim the restrictions have stifled innovation, and the rollback will lead to companies reaching new heights.

Providers also claim they have no plan to stifle or block lawful contact.

But their promises are tough to swallow considering as many as 2 million fake identities were used to falsely issue pro-FCC comments during the public hearing process, according to the state attorney general’s office.

They include the names of the dead, something straight from the pages of Tammany Hall, the political machine that controlled New York City in the mid-nineteenth century through all sorts of dirty and nefarious tricks.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said the fake comments have corrupted the public hearing process, and we agree.

But this new landscape could also prove to be disastrous — especially here in the North Country, where broadband is already sketchy, with many communities at the mercy of a single provider (which in many cases, provides subpar service).

Thankfully the deal isn’t set in stone, and the FCC must now enter the new rules into

the federal register.

All three of the North Country’s federal lawmakers have criticized the measure.

They are correct in doing so, considering how much an open internet lends itself to the future success of our global economy.

U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) has called the rollback “shameful” and an “attack on free speech” and introduced a resolution to reverse the FCC decision.

U.S. Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he would force a vote.

And Schneiderman, the attorney general, announced he would join a coalition of states in a lawsuit in an attempt to block the changes.

While Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) has stopped short of calling for a lawsuit or a vote to reverse the decision, she is pushing for congressional hearings to ensure an open internet.

The FCC has claimed the move is about openness and unleashing entrepreneurial spirit.

If this is the case, we hope Stefanik will fight tooth-and-nail to ensure these principles are met, and the North Country doesn’t end up a loser in what’s sure to be a long and contentious battle. ■ -The Sun Editorial Board

Cuomo proposes tightening gun ownership laws for domestic abusers

Law would extend ban on guns to those accused of domestic crimes

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ALBANY | Gov. Andrew Cuomo is proposing to take away guns from anyone charged with domestic abuse.

Under the proposed legislation, which the governor will formally roll out at next month’s State of the State address, anyone charged with domestic violence crimes will immediately be forced to relinquish their firearms.

“This year will be remembered as the year of reckoning, when both the tragedy of mass shootings and cultural and institutional harassment of women became impossible to ignore,” said Cuomo in a statement.

The proposed legislation would strengthen the role of judges in reducing access to firearms.

At present, judges issue orders of protection in domestic violence cases after an individual is arrest-

ed, but before they are convicted.

Orders of protection include the suspension of firearm licenses. But the orders are issued at the judges’ discretion and may not occur in every domestic violence case.

Under the legislation, judges would be required to mandate the surrender of all firearms — hand guns and long guns alike — and suspend any firearm license until the case is resolved.

If convicted, even of a misdemeanor, offenders would lose their firearm permanently.

Cuomo said the legislation is designed to prevent additional tragedies, citing statistics linking domestic abuse to gun violence.

“In nine of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in United States history, including Las Vegas and Sutherland Springs, the shooter had an existing record of committing violence against women, threatening violence against women, or harassing or disparaging women,” his office said in a statement.

When an abusive partner is permitted to access firearms, the risk that the other partner will be killed increased fivefold.

required to be surrendered upon felony domestic violence convictions.

Cuomo said last week in a conference call with reporters that the state law would close existing loopholes.

“We believe there’s a loophole in the law we want to close, not just a felony, but a misdemeanor,” he told reporters. “Our proposal would be no guns for any conviction, misdemeanor or felony.”

Long guns would also be included in the suspension or revocation of a firearm license following a felony or “serious” offense charge or conviction.

New York has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, including the SAFE Act, which was passed in 2013 in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting in Connecticut.

The proposal builds on legislation previously advanced by state Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (DScarsdale), state Senator Diane Savino (D-Staten Island) and other state lawmakers.

The law would also require rifles and shotguns to be surrendered to authorities after a mental health disqualification by a health professional.

SCOPE AGAINST

The Shooters Committee on Political Education has been a vocal critic of the SAFE Act, legislation they say is unconstitutional, overreaching and does little to address the root causes of gun violence.

The chairman of the organization’s Genesee County chapter has criticized the latest proposal.

Domestic violence is a societal problem, Bill Cox Sr. told the Daily News, a western New York newspaper.

“Why don’t we get to the root of the problem?” Cox said. “Why don’t we teach our children how to handle themselves so this doesn’t happen? I personally feel that would help with the problem. We’ve gone away from that in our society.”

The newspaper reported Fox as saying if the proposal becomes law, those merely accused of domestic violence will have their firearms taken away before they’re convicted.

“That’s not the way our system’s set up,” he said. “With firearms, it seems like it’s gone to the other side, where you’re automatically guilty.

12th Night concert coming to Ti Ticonderoga Festival Guild presenting 12th Night event

By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | The historic Church of the Cross will host the upcoming Ticondero-

ga Festival Guild’s Twelfth Night Concert.

Ticonderoga has celebrated the end of the Christmas season for more than 28 years with the Twelfth Night Concert.

This year the concert will be held on Saturday, Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. at the Church of the Cross at 129 Champlain Ave. The Church of the Cross is a historic church with stain-glass windows, wooden interior and a rare antique Tracker pipe organ.

“The concert brings together local musicians

and choirs to entertain our community with their favorite Christmas anthems, carols and songs,” guild Executive Director Judy Walker said.

“The concert will begin with the entrance of the Three Kings again this year.

The program will conclude with the audience joining musicians and choirs to sing a selection of well-known carols.”

At the end of the concert the audience is invited to attend a simple reception prepared by the Festival Guild and the Church of the Cross.

The Twelfth Night Concert is free, but donations will be gratefully accepted. Any funds donated will be shared with the Ticonderoga Area Clergy Association and the Ticonderoga Festival Guild.

Walker said the Ticonderoga Area Clergy Association addresses immediate local needs not easily addressed by social services agencies. She said the Ticonderoga Festival Guild promotes, sustains, delivers and advanced performing arts to the area. ■

Grant helps local schools promote healthy living

Initiative shows dividends in Ticonderoga, Moriah schools

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | With the help of the Essex and Clinton County, several local schools are getting a boost when it comes to promoting healthy lifestyles.

The Creating Healthy Schools and Communities (CHSC) in Clinton and Essex Counties grant is a five-year public health initiative which seeks to improve nutrition and increase physical activity.

The grant is funded by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and locally applies to five state-identified school districts and their surrounding communities, including Elizabethtown-Lewis, Northern Adirondack, Ticonderoga, Chateaugay and Moriah.

Students at Ticonderoga Middle School try some food from their garden, built with the help of a CHSC grant through Clinton and Essex County.

TICONDEROGA PROJECTS

In Ticonderoga, The school received various equipment from the Silver Bay YMCA in Hague, as well as several pieces of equipment including an elliptical, treadmill, weight tree and a “Ski Erg” machine.

» Development Cont. from pg. 1 “Today we have the opportunity to bring new life and purpose to an American treasure,” said fort President Beth Hill. “The 1826 national historic landmark, the Pavilion, is a major component of our plans to transform Ticonderoga into a national cultural destination.”

The goal for the project is to raise a total of $5.4 million to complete the project in time for a 2020 grand opening to mark the 200th anniversary of William Ferris Pell’s first efforts to preserve Ticonderoga for future generations, she said.

In announcing the award, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the Fort Ticonderoga Association will save a national treasure, while expanding as a national cultural destination.

The proposed adaptive re-use project will include needed visitor amenities, conference center capacity, and new educational and exhibition space.

The next largest award in southern Essex County went to War Canoe Spirits LLC of Crown Point, $705,000.

War Canoe Spirits will establish a distillery manufacturing operation with tasting,

“We’re thankful for the generosity of our community members, including the YMCA and the Creating Healthy Schools grant,” said principal Herb Tedforf. “It makes the gym a place the school can be proud of and we have seen a big increase in use with the colder weather.”

There is also a new garden at the middle school, supervised

dining, retail, and event space on Main Street in Crown Point. The company will manufacture craft spirits and hard cider on-site in a former Agway building.

PRIDE of Ticonderoga Executive Director Maria Tedford said the community preservation group also worked with War Canoe on a New York Main Street grant application for the new distillery.

The Star Trek Original Series Set Tour in Ticonderoga got $108,400 to promote its 2018 special weekend, known as Trekonderoga, and the April visit of “Star Trek” star William Shatner.

Cuomo said the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour will promote the community of Ticonderoga, Star Trek Tour special events and the Star Trek Tour itself to “the extent possible and affordable to make this historic and natural-beauty region known to people in both North America and around the world.”

The Set Tour incorporates exact replica sets of the Starship Enterprise interiors directed by superfan James Cawley in a converted supermarket building in downtown Ticonderoga.

The tour has attracted visitors from all over the U.S. ■

A new sport has taken to the gym floor at Moriah Central School, as the physical education department has introduced pickleball into their physical education curriculum.

Pickleball is a racquet sport which combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis.

The school received equipment, including nets, paddles and pickleballs, from the grant.

“You’ll see students in off-periods, after school, and even some before school using it to set up the nets and play” said teacher Lynn Galm. “The whole game is portable, fast to set up and kids have more time to play. We appreciate getting the equipment from the grant.”

Within the town of Moriah, funding from the NYSDOH has allowed the CHSC grant to support projects such as updated benches, dog waste stations, bike racks and new pickleball equipment in order to increase opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to be physically active. ■

War Canoe Spirits LLC of Main Street in Crown Point is getting $705,000 from New York state to developed a distillery and pub in the old Agway building.

Commissioner Thomas Edwards did not seek election. ■

Ronald Nesbitt Jr., 46; William Ball Sr., 40; and Frank Slycord, 38, were elected, and challenger Phillip Smith, 36; and incumbent Carl Gifaldi, 28, were not elected.

IRS scam making rounds in North Country Sophisticated phone scam continues to target local residents

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | The woman’s voice was pleasant, but her tone was threatening.

And it ended in a cloud of static screeching.

“We received a threatening call saying the IRS is suing us and action will be taken soon if I don’t call this number back,” a tipster told The Sun. The reader and her neighbor were rattled after they received the identical calls last week from a “202” area code.

But the call was bogus, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which initiates most contacts through regular mail delivered by the U.S. Postal Service.

The Westport resident reported the issue to the district attorney and the state Attorney General’s office.

While there are special circumstances in which the IRS will call or visit a home or business — namely to follow up on delinquent tax payments — taxpayers will generally first receive several notices through the mail.

The agency does not “call to demand immediate payment using a specific payment method such as a prepaid debit card, gift card or wire transfer,” according to their website.

The agency is prohibited from threatening

to bring in law enforcement officials to have people arrested for not paying, and cannot demand residents pay taxes without the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they claim is owed.

The so-called IRS scam in which a caller poses as a government official demanding payment for unpaid taxes and threatening consumers with arrest if they do not pay up remains pervasive across the state, according to the attorney general’s office.

“These scammers often use fake government logos in their email and caller ID spoofing so that the victim’s caller ID box says ‘Internal Revenue Service’ or displays the phone number of the Internal Revenue Service,” the agency said in a statement issued in March.

“The IRS will never demand imme-

» Shared services Cont. from pg. 1

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ALBANY | With the state facing looming budget shortfalls and expected passage of a tax reform bill poised to erode tax breaks for some New Yorkers, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is proposing making the state’s shared services initiative permanent.

Cuomo made the announcement on Monday in a conference call with reporters.

The governor has held regular briefings to excoriate the tax bill, which he said is akin to “economic civil war” because it penalizes high tax states like New York by capping the state and local property deduction at $10,000.

Cuomo said this would lead to an effective property tax hike of 20 percent for 725,000 homeowners across the state.

“It’s an economic dagger directed at this state,” he said.

While local governments have informally hashed out a number of agreements over the years, counties across the state were required this year to formally convene panels to explore efficiencies, a process that resulted in $200 million in savings from 34 counties, roughly half of those in the state, Cuomo said.

“So even though it’s hard, and it’s politically difficult because everybody wants their own political fiefdom and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, pictured here with local lawmakers this says fiefdoms should cooperate, it worked,” Cuomo said. in Lake Placid in April, wants to make the shared services Photo provided/Office of the Governor As part of the initiative, the governor said he’d allocate panels permanent. $225 million in state funding to match proposals crafted The formal statement announcing the proposal from the govby local governments to find savings. ernor’s office contained a long list of quotes from county offiCuomo said he will also propose that $125 million in cials, including those in Clinton, Franklin and Warren counties. annual state funding for local government performance aid “This plan will lead to a real cost savings for many, and I will now be conditional on the continuation of the panels. thank Governor Cuomo for his commitment to the hardThe funds cover a number of local programs, including working families of New York,” said Clinton County Legvillage dissolutions, sewer projects, and school mergers, said islature Chairman Harry McManus.

diate payment or payment information over the phone.”

It is estimated that consumers lose $40 billion a year through telemarketing fraud, according to the attorney general.

Readers are asked by the attorney general’s office to never engage this type of caller or provide any personal information.

Calls suspected of being fraudulent should be reported to 1-800-771-7755.

“We also know that for every complaint received, there are many other instances in which New Yorkers fall victim to these practices but do not realize that they have been targeted or that they should file a complaint,” said state Assemblyman Brian Kavanagh, who chairs the Assembly’s Consumer Affairs and Protection Committee, in a statement. ■

serious about consolidation, then they should actually put teeth behind it and order school districts, fire districts and municipalities to do it — not just blame upstate for New York being in the top tier of highest taxed states in the country.”

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava called the most recent proposal “confusing.”

“Most municipalities already share a number of services and we get absolutely no credit for that unless it’s something new,” he said. “But it’s a reach to find something new.”

Scozzafava oversaw the dissolution of the Village of Port Henry in March.

“It was painful and it was like an exorcism,” he said. “The State of New York makes it extremely difficult to obtain these shared services and efficiencies. Every time we turned around, there was another hurdle placed in front of us.”

“I’m a firm believer in simplicity, and this was not simple to do.”

Scozzafava said he supports the governor and his efforts to reduce property taxes.

But true reform should strike deeper, he said, and should include whittling down which services are funded through the tax rolls — including fire and highway departments.

“To get there, there’s got to be some changes in Albany to make the road easier to go down,” he said.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) also joined the fray on Monday, saying while capping the state and local deduction at $10,000 will hurt state taxpayers, the state should share some of the blame.

“Due to Albany’s failed leadership and inability to rein in spending, New York is one of the highest taxed states in the country, and families here rely on this important deduction to make ends meet,” Stefanik said in a statement. “Failure to maintain SALT could lead to more families leaving our region.”

Cuomo shot back.

“The representative should work with her local governments to reduce property taxes,” he said. “She should look in her own backyard.”

“Tell her to get our $48 billion back,” he said, referring to the surplus amount the state sends to the federal government annually. ■

Cuomo signs FOIL bill Judges now required to award legal fees to winners in Freedom of Information Law lawsuits

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ALBANY | The governor has signed a bill making it easier for members of the public suing for access to public records to recover their legal fees.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the measure, which was supported statewide by newspaper boards and good government groups, on Wednesday.

He previously vetoed the bill in 2015, citing a lack of clarity as to how to define the concept of a “material violation,” which would have sowed confusion for judges trying to interpret the law.

The new law, which takes effect immediately, means judges can award attorney fees to plaintiffs who sue after being wrongly denied access to public documents.

But Cuomo said any reform to the state’s Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) must also apply to the state legislature, and that he will again advance comprehensive FOIL

reform in the next legislative session that applies equally to both branches of government.

“The bill before me continues to perpetuate a fractured and inequitable system of transparency by only applying to the executive, and intentionally excluding other branches of government,” Cuomo wrote in a memo. “Notably, current law already provides courts with discretion to award attorney’s fees in such situations, but they are not required to do so.

“Transparency should be embraced by all,” he said.

The Empire Center, a fiscally conservative think tank, praised the measure as “huge win” for government transparency.

“While the governor hasn’t always lived up to his promise to run ‘the most transparent administration in history,’ it is worth noting that the administration has made strides in posting data online, including through the DataNY portal,” said the group in a statement.

“Combined with Comptroller DiNapoli’s valuable OpenBookNY database, Attorney General Schneiderman’s NYOpenGovernment and NYC’s Open data site, government transparency in New York has come a long way.”

The Empire Center runs a database, seethroughny.net, that aims to hold local taxing entities accountable by providing access to collective bargaining agreements between

Young farmers criticize Stefanik for loan forgiveness vote Lawmaker has voted against an amendment that would make farmers eligible for loan forgiveness

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WHALLONSBURG | A gulf has emerged between Rep. Elise Stefanik and the young farmers revitalizing farms across the Champlain Valley, including in her adopted hometown of Willsboro.

A group called the Adirondack Farmers Coalition (AFC) is criticizing the lawmaker after she voted against an amendment to the PROSPER Act, a bill to reform federal higher education programs, that would have made farmers and veteran service organizations eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

The House Education and Workforce Committee marked up the legislation on Dec. 12, and the amendment to address student loan debt for farmers was defeated 20-19.

Stefanik voted no.

Ahead of the vote, dozens of local farmers said they lobbied the lawmaker in an effort to convince her to support the measure, calling her office and reaching out on social media.

“I took time out from my day yesterday to call Stefanik’s office in Washington,” said Dillon Klepetar, owner of Echo Farm, in a statement.

Klepetar said local farmers have testified in support of loan forgiveness in the past, and have asked Stefanik directly to co-sponsor similar bills.

“This was a huge opportunity to help a key sector of the North Country economy, and she apparently ignored us,” Klepetar said.

The amendment was based on the Young Farmer Success Act, a bipartisan bill introduced by U.S. Reps. Joe Courtney (D-CT), Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson (R-PA) and John Faso (R-NY) earlier this year.

The average age of American farmers is approaching 60 years old, according to the AFC, a shift that is expected to lead to a mass transfer of nearly100 million acres of farmland.

As such, recruiting and supporting the next generation of farmers is an urgent national need, says the AFC. But the financial landscape for the capital intensive field is tough, and profit margins are often small, say young farmers, making student loan forgiveness critical to grow the industry.

A recent survey by the National Young Farmers Coalition reveals student loan debt is a leading challenge facing young farmers, many of whom view farming as a public service.

The survey collected data from 3,517 current, former and aspiring U.S. farmers under the age of 40.

Land access topped the list of challenges, and the organization cited particularly finding and affording land on a farm income as main reason why farmers quit farming and why aspiring farmers haven’t yet started.

“We understand politics, but this isn’t a partisan issue,” said Margot Brooks of Sugar House Creamery in Upper Jay, in a statement. “Multiple Republicans voted for this amendment.

With Rep. Stefanik’s no-vote, we fell short.

She’s the youngest member of Congress. If any representative should understand the impact that student loan debt has on our entire generation of small business owners, it’s her.”

‘FARMING IS A BUSINESS’

Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland, a close Stefanik ally and cattle farmer, said he understands student loan debt can be crushing, citing the experiences of his own children.

But at the same time, farmers have free will and aren’t forced to go into “niche farming.”

“As a taxpayer, farming is a business,” Gillilland told The Sun. “Nobody forced these

people to take out college loans. Is really what they’re doing critical to national economic security? I don’t think the taxpayers want to pay the college debts of these kids who want to go into farming.”

A spokesman for Stefanik said the purpose of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program is to attract more individuals to government service and non-profits.

“While Congresswoman Stefanik opposed this amendment in Committee, she will continue to advocate strongly on behalf of North Country farmers as she has on labor issues, production issues and as Congress begins writing the upcoming Farm Bill,” Tom Flanagin told The Sun in an email.

“Congresswoman Stefanik is a strong advocate for our North Country farmers and is a leader in Congress on issues facing the millennial generation.”

In remarks at the committee hearing, Stefanik admitted college graduates face a tough job climate despite the improving economy.

“Our national situation looks grim,” she said.

But there is a need for technical jobs that are going unfilled due to the lack of skilled

workers, she said.

The PROSPER Act contains numerous reforms to address higher education affordability, including measures to strengthen the Pell grant system by maintaining yearround access.

Fifty-two percent of students in New York’s 21st Congressional District attending public institutions are offered the grants, she said.

“This has been a priority item of mine since arriving in Congress and it will ensure students have needed flexibility to access affordable education,” Stefanik said at the hearing. “Furthermore, students taking advantage of flexible Pell to achieve 30 credits per year will be eligible for an additional $300 Pell bonus.”

Stefanik said this legislation has the best interest of consumers in mind because it eliminates origination fees on federal student loans, ensuring students are receiving more of the money they borrow.

The second-term lawmaker also defended the PROSPER Act for doubling federal investment in work study, and removing “arbitrary caps that prevent its students from working at for-profit businesses.” ■

Schism over utility revenues spills into public view Town, city at loggerheads over renegotiated PILOT agreement with Saranac Power Partners

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | A leaked video has made public a bitter quarrel between the City and Town of Plattsburgh over revenues from a local power plant.

City of Plattsburgh Mayor Colin Read is alleging the Town of Plattsburgh is engaged in “backroom dealing” when it comes to a renegotiated deal with the Saranac Power Partners (SPP).

“We think that the town is holding back a sum that could be into the seven figures that the city really deserves,” Read told Councilman Mike Kelly after the Common Council meeting on Thursday. “It could be as high as $10 million they’ve tricked us out of. We don’t know if its recoverable or not, but we’re obviously upset.”

Read and Kelly discussed several topics during the 22-minute clip, including sick time benefits and potential consolidation prospects with the town.

But the city officials singled out particular criticism for Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Michael Cashman, who the pair painted as opaque.

In the video, Read recounted a conversation with Cashman he had earlier that day to discuss details of a recently renegotiated agreement covering the final six years of SPP’s PILOT agreement with participating localities: Under the new agreement beginning next year, the Town of Plattsburgh would receive $3,650, and the city, $7,301.

Read believes the town’s portion should be far higher.

“But I saw a piece of paper right in front of me. I know they’re receiving over the next six years like $1.6 million,” he said in the clip, which was surreptitiously uploaded online by an unknown source following the meeting.

The city’s meetings are ordinarily livestreamed on the city’s website.

But in this case, the camera continued to film following the meeting’s conclusion.

Read is referring to $280,000 in funds allocated to the four special districts in the Town of Plattsburgh that serve the facility, including fire, ambulance, water and sewer.

Starting next year, that number is scheduled to decrease to $182,000 annually until 2023, at which point SPP will go onto the tax rolls and the payments will terminate.

The total six-year amount is about $1 million.

Read stopped short of calling the agreement illegal.

“But it sure stinks to high heaven,” he said in the video.

SERIES OF REVISIONS

The facility, formerly known as Falcon Seaboard, has supplied electricity to New York State Electric & Gas Corporation and Georgia Pacific under a power-purchase agreement since the mid-1990s.

The property is located in the Town of Plattsburgh, but is hemmed in by a thicket of railway lines and swampland.

The city was at the verge of annexing the property in the early-1990s.

But a compromise agreement reached in 1992 resulted in a deal to offer PILOT payments divided between the town and city: The town would receive one-third, and the remainder would go to the city, recalled Clyde Rabideau, who served as mayor from 1990 to 1999.

The deal garnered roughly $850,000 annually for the city, he said.

The Beekmantown Central School District also received a portion of the revenues.

“It was the best solution to a complicated

situation for all the parties involved,” Beekmantown Central School Superintendent Dan Mannix told The Sun in a phone interview.

But the economic landscape has grown more complicated since then, Mannix said.

As the kilowatt per hour price of electricity fell, the agreement saw numerous revisions.

A “host community agreement” negotiated in 2008 saw the formula change.

Under that agreement, Town of Plattsburgh was scheduled to receive the aforementioned $280,000 for a total of $1.68 million until this year.

As part of the revision, the first 50 percent would go to that arrangement, and the remainder would be split between the City of Plattsburgh, the Beekmantown School District and Clinton County.

But Read pointed out once the funds allocated to the special districts are topped off with the PILOT agreement, the town’s annual share ultimately rises to between 60 or 70 percent.

As part of that same renegotiation, the city’s share was reduced to $93,000 annually, and Beekmantown Central’s increased

a change in assessment, Mannix said.

The district’s share will increase to about $187,000 per year, up from $142,000.

Clinton County will receive $64,181.

While the school district will receive the largest amount, Mannix said the situation is not ideal.

“We were opposed and did not want this outcome,” he said. “We are on the record with IDA documentation that we did not want this change.”

Mannix said he isn’t supportive of PILOT agreements in general because the district is actually losing money as other agreements elsewhere are renegotiated.

“My belief is these PILOTS hurt our taxpayers,” he said.

Read tied the loss of revenue directly to the city’s ailing finances.

“It’s absolutely what plunged us into our current predicament,” he told The Sun in a phone interview.

The future loss in revenue, he said on the video, might lead to three layoffs in city government, which is already reeling after

The mayor painted a dystopian scenario of the population plummeting, people selling their homes and fleeing the city.

And those unable to do so would be trapped as tax rates continue to rise, he said.

“Why don’t we just go defunct now and save everybody from that and try some other better system?” Read told Kelly, adding that it was not a preferable option. “If we’re going to do that in 10-20 years, we might as well do that now.”

Kelly nodded in agreement, and said the lines are blurred in the eyes of the public between the town and city, anyway.

Read said Cashman dismissed his concerns, and threatened to create a special assessment district as part of a potential combined area and wrap it around the town.

“You might try that for a little while, but pretty soon, you’re going to be outvoted, and there’s going to be more city ward councilors than town councilors,” Read told him.

“I doubt that’s even legal,” Kelly responded, citing state efforts to promote the consolidation of municipalities.

Saranac Power Partners has renegotiated numerous PILOT agreements with surrounding localities since 1992. Now the Town and City of Plattsburgh are sparring over revenues.

Photo by Pete DeMola to about $142,000.

Read claims the City of Plattsburgh had been carved out of the loop, and wasn’t informed of revisions that he said resulted in millions of dollars in lost revenue over the years.

Mannix agrees.

“There’s clearly some issues that have happened in 2008 and 2009 in that area that weren’t transparent,” he said.

Rabideau said the town established the special district without keeping the other stakeholders appraised.

“They’ve taken $500,000 every year,” Rabideau told The Sun. “For what?”

Cashman wasn’t in office at the time, but disputes the lack of transparency.

“I’ve been told the city had been engaged in discussions,” he said.

Former Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Bernie Bassett, who was in office in 2008, said the complications at the time were complex.

“This business is in the town,” Bassett told The Sun on Monday. “The town gave twothirds to the city for many years. In renegotiation of a new agreement, there was some money carved out for the town that was used to offset the impacts.”

‘PILOTS HURT’

The catalyst that sparked the leaked discussion was the Clinton County IDA had just finished spearheading the renegotiation process for the final six years of the PILOT, after SPP petitioned the agency for a reduction.

SPP also sued Beekmantown Central for

department abolishments following a brutal budget season designed to stem years of financial hemorrhaging.

Read said he asked the Clinton County IDA for data, and they refused. He filed a Freedom of Information Law request last week as a result.

The IDA did not respond to an email from The Sun seeking comment.

Cashman said Read has misrepresented their discussions, and documents detailing the most recent revisions are publicly available, including an economic impact study facilitated by the IDA and SPP in November.

“People have been provided this document in different forms,” he said.

NIGHTMARE SCENARIO

Read did not dispute the authenticity of the video, which was uploaded to YouTube on Friday afternoon by an unidentified source and quickly caught fire online.

“I think we as a community can do much better than this,” Read told The Sun. “It’s really unfortunate that some people will make it about a sound clip rather than what happened.”

But the mayor did not attempt to walk back any of his statements.

“It was pretty strong language for a strong situation,” he said. “The city and town depend on each other. If one fails, each of us fails.

This kind of backroom wheeling and dealing really sets us all up for failure.”

In the video, Read said he told Cashman the city may eventually go bankrupt and be forced to dissolve into the town.

Cashman countered that he was simply offering one of several possible scenarios, including the creation of a debt service district, which is routine when one locality is absorbed into another.

“The issues demand greater attention than petty gossip,” Cashman told The Sun on Friday. “I’m certain the mayor is embarrassed by his remarks. But I’m focused on delivering results for the town of Plattsburgh.”

COUNTY RESPONDS

Clinton County Legislator Robert Hall (Area 10) said he was upset by the new agreement and the impact on the city’s finances.

“It’s totally wrong,” he told The Sun on Friday. “The rest of the county needs to realize the City of Plattsburgh is a very important part of Clinton County. It’s just not fair. Everybody knows the City of Plattsburgh is in very bad financial shape.”

Hall called for Read to annex the property.

“They’re putting the City of Plattsburgh’s back against the wall,” he said.

Read didn’t appear particularly surprised at the leak, and appeared to predict the explosive discussion would eventually be made public.

“The last thing we want is for this to get out to the media,” he said at the end of the clip.

“If the media gets a whiff of this, they’re going to be all over us, and I don’t think I’m going to have time to say, ‘No wait, I’ve got to have Mike Cashman in the room before I can talk to the media.’”

Kelly responded, “He wouldn’t do the same for you.” ■

Stefanik a ‘no’ on tax reform Lawmaker says local taxpayers will not be protected under federal plan — but state needs to share the blame

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is a “no” on the tax reform bill.

“I will be voting no on the final legislation and will continue to work hard to ensure that hard working families and small businesses have their priorities represented in Congress,” Stefanik said Monday in a statement.

The lawmaker chalked up her opposition to a lack of protection for the state and local tax deduction known as SALT, the same reason she voted against the House version of the bill in November.

House Republicans passed the final bill on Wednesday along party lines.

The bill largely finds middle ground with the versions previously passed by the House and Senate.

The $1.5 trillion tax plan, the first overhaul in 30 years, provides deep tax cuts for businesses and corporations, temporary lower marginal tax rates for middle-class taxpayers and expansion of child tax credits.

SALT deductions would be capped at $10,000 annually, and the deduction for interest on mortgage debt for recent homebuyers will be reduced from $1 million to $750,000.

ALBANY TO BLAME

Stefanik outlined her concerns last week in a letter to a bicameral committee, and endorsed a plan she said would address several problem areas in addition to SALT, including provisions to lower the corporate and pass-through rates, retaining the medical expense and student loan interest deduction and “substantially reducing” the impact of tax reform on the deficit.

Much of those provisions have been restored in the final bill.

The letter also underscored concerns that the House and Senate plans would negatively impact states like New York that send more revenue to the federal government than they receive.

That number is some $48 billion, according to the governor’s office.

But Stefanik also said the state shares some of the blame for the high property tax burden.

“Due to Albany’s failed leadership and inability to rein in spending, New York is one of the highest taxed states in the country, and families here rely on this important deduction to make ends meet,” Stefanik said. “Failure to maintain SALT could lead to more families leaving our region.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo fired back on Monday when asked about her statement by a Times Union reporter.

“Her problem are the facts,” he said in a conference call with reporters. “If she has a problem with spending, she can’t be looking to the state budget, which has had the lowest increases in recorded budget history.”

SALT repeal would hurt the state’s job growth and put New York at a “structural disadvantage” when competing with other states for jobs and businesses, Cuomo has said.

Some 725,000 homeowners in the state pay more than $10,000, according to materials provided by his office, and capping the deduction would increase their property tax bills by an average of $2,750.

The Empire Center, a fiscally conservative think tank, said last week repealing SALT would increase the net tax price for the state’s highest earners.

As a result, the value of higher-priced, higher-taxed homes in New York City-area suburbs would be depressed.

“This impact will occur regardless of how the tax plan affects individual homeowners,” wrote Policy Director E.J. McMahon.

“The enactment of an optional property tax deduction capped at $10,000, as proposed in the Senate bill, also will do little to offset the likely reduction in values, because the impact of cap will vary considerably among taxpayers based on family size, the age of the primary filer and the type of income reported.”

Cuomo said if the bill went through, he’d propose making the state’s shared service panels, which were introduced earlier this year, mandatory and would tie them to some $125 million in state aid.

And passage would mean property taxes in the state would effectively rise.

“It will effectively raise the state’s income tax 20 percent, and effectively raise property tax 20 percent defending on the individual’s bracket,” he said.

Later, he added, “Our state code is in many places linked to the federal code. So when they change the federal code, it automatically changes the state code.”

But he didn’t specify precisely how taxes would rise in the Empire State.

Cuomo called for Stefanik to work with local government officials to reduce property taxes.

“She should look in her own backyard,” Cuomo said. “Tell her to get our $48 billion back.”

Five members of the state’s Republican delegation have announced their plans to vote against the bill.

A Monmouth Poll released Monday revealed voters nationwide disapproved of the plan 47 to 26 percent.

When informed by a reporter of the poll, the governor said even the GOP members who voted against the bill wouldn’t escape an eventual reckoning at the voting booth.

“I don’t think these individual votes are going to give people a pass,” he said. “I think there’s going to be a real political comeuppance.”

The governor appeared to admit passage was inevitable.

But, he said, Democrats should utilize all means possible to block the effort — even if it means shutting down the government.

“To lay down in the halls of Congress and refuse to move would be justified,” he said.

If signed into law, the IRS said taxpayers could begin seeing less money withheld from their paychecks “as early as February,” according to the Associated Press. ■

Business concerns will be addressed Downtown Ticonderoga Business Forum looks ahead

By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | The future of Ticonderoga’s business district will be discussed in the upcoming Downtown Ticonderoga Business Forum.

The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership will host the Downtown Ticonderoga Business Forum and Spirit Meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2018 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Ticonderoga Community Building auditorium.

The event is open to all. Refreshments will be served.

The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership is a group of dedicated volunteers serving downtown Ticonderoga, and hosting a variety of events and works on Montcalm Street projects.

“Downtown Ticonderoga businesses and organizations, on Montcalm Street and in close proximity, are invited to attend to learn more about the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership and partner organizations, as well as share thoughts, concerns and positive suggestions for the future,” said Downtown Ticonderoga Business Forum Chair Katy Rasmus.

A highlight of topics for the forum include Ticonderoga

Montcalm Street Partnership and partner overview, support and services available, common issues and concerns, being positive even in negative situations, not criticizing other businesses or organizations, taking pride in business and community, working together, suggestions for key areas of focus, and how each business and organization can get involved to improve the downtown.

Foot traffic in downtown Ticonderoga picked up over the summer with the success of the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour, located in the former grocery store and dollar store building at 112 Montcalm St. Now closed for the winter, the Set Tour will reopen in the spring, according to owner and “Star Trek” superfan James Cawley.

Cawley has painstaking recreated sets from the original 1960s television series, including the Enterprise bridge, sickbay, engineering, crew quarters and others.

For more information on the forum, visit www.timainstreet. org, call 518-585-6619, or email tmsp@timainstreet.org. ■ Katy and Andre Rasmus from Libby’s Bakery Café look over documents for the upcoming Downtown Business Forum in Ticonderoga. Ms. Rasmus serves on the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership Board of Directors and is the chair of the Downtown Ticonderoga Business Forum.

Programs available to beat cabin fever Schroon Lake Central to offer continuing education programs

By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

SCHROON LAKE | Schroon Lake Central School’s Continuing Education Program will offer adults 15 courses that range from ukulele lessons to mitten knitting.

The classes start Jan. 15 at the school and include the popular Trivia Night and Friday Night at the Movies.

The program provides residents the opportunity to expand their knowledge and use the school as a community center during the winter months, School Supt. Stephen Gratto said.

“There are activities for adults to take part in: we have Friday Night Movies, fitness class, line-dancing, pickle ball, juggling for adults, writing your own memoir, small-boat sailing, long distance horse riding, and a few

other things,” he said. “We have beginning knitting mittens, a technique from Sweden dating to the 1500s.”

A General Equivalence Diploma (GED) class will also start, he said. Registration is required for the High School Equivalence Diploma course. Contact Robin Bezile, One Work Source teacher, at 518-873-2341.

The school has offered the Continuing Education Program at no additional cost to the district since 2016. Program catalogs and registration forms are located at the school, Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce, and the Schroon Lake Public Library.

For more information, contact the school at 518 532-7164 or email Gratto at sgratto@ slwildcats.org.

A full list of the 15 courses offered and their dates, times and fees can be obtained by emailing Gratto or Schroon Lake Board of Education member Susan Repko at srepko@slwildcats.org.

People may register at the first class, but advanced registration is preferred. Most sessions are free; for other courses bring the fee in cash or by check made out to the instructor. ■

Sugar and Spice celebrates birthday It’s the 10th anniversary for the Ticonderoga home decor shop

By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | It’s been 10 years since Robin McGrath decided she wanted to operate her own business.

The Sugar and Spice Country Shoppe she started at 98 Montcalm Street in Ticonderoga has been a fixture in the downtown ever since.

The store specializes in country primitive styles for early American decorating, and also offers unique toys, treats and even Ticonderoga and Sentinels school mascot t-shirts.

“Home décor is our focus and this is my 10th year doing this,” McGrath said. “We started in November 2007. For our anniversary, we did special events, an open house, and we’re doing fun little promotions.”

McGrath had been teaching school in Putnam and Ticonderoga when she decided she wanted more independence to raise her children.

“I love my job here,” she said. “I’m happy. Retail is up and down, though.”

The shop will be closed from mid January through April this season, but she also teaches evenings at the Ticonderoga campus of North Country Community College now.

“I’m working away,” she said. “Ticonderoga has gone

Sugar and Spice Country Shoppe owner Robin McGrath stands in her downtown Ticonderoga store, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

“People find something different here all the time.”

She’s started carrying Da Bomb Bath Fizzers, which have proven very popular.

“They all have a treasure or a surprise inside,” McGrath said.

The dissolving bath bombs in various scents were created by a pair of teenage sisters in Minnesota and have become a national sensation.

Besides home décor, Sugar and Spice offers greeting cards, etchings and farmhouse theme items.

“We have a little more local slant this year,” McGrath said. “It’s ever-changing.” ■

Cummings and Brian Hart; as well as two nieces, Cathy Gaffney (Chuck) and Kelly Caley (Bruce).

Charles Thomas Cummings loved baseball.

He played baseball for the Plattsburgh State University Cardinals from 1953-56 and complied a career .350 batting average. His teammates called him “Chip” and elected him team captain twice. In 1988, Chip was elected to the Plattsburgh State University Hall of Fame. His love for the university would continue throughout his life. He was the director of the Plattsburgh Alumni Association and was a member of the board of directors since 1977. Cummings contributed the funds to build “Chip Cummings Field” for the university. The 500 seat ballpark was opened on April 19, 2003 and remains as the premiere facility for the Plattsburgh State Cardinals baseball team.

Everyone who met Chip Cummings knew immediately that the St. Louis Cardinals was his favorite baseball team. His lifelong love for the Cardinals was a passion that was unmistakable. He would regularly attend the St. Louis Cardinals fantasy camps and spring training games. His favorite memories are the numerous World Championships the St. Louis Cardinals have won during his lifetime.

Cummings had a long career in education.

His career began in South Glens Falls where he taught fourth grade at the Bluebird School from 1956-1959. From there he went to the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District where he was the elementary school principal.

In 1966, he moved to Canajoharie, where was the junior high principal until 1970 when he was promoted to business administrator. He

was a fixture at Canajoharie Central Schools for 20 years. Before retiring he spent three years with the Patchogue-Medford District as business administrator. Cummings applied his experience to create his own consulting firm and lead New York state school administrators for over a decade. He joined the New York Association of School Business Officials.

He was on the NYASBO Board of Directors from 1983 -1987. He served as President of the Board from 1986-1987. During his time on the NYASBO Board he established many scholarships for members to further their education.

Relatives and friends called Saturday, Dec. 16 from 3-5 p.m. at the Wilcox & Regan Funeral Home, 11 Algonkin St., Ticonderoga.

A funeral service took place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 17 at the Putnam United Presbyterian Church, 365 County Route 2, Putnam Station.

Interment will take place in the spring at the family plot of the Meadow Knoll Cemetery of Putnam Station.

Top ranked Moriah survives league-opener in double OT Northern Adirondack falls short against defending champs

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

ELLENBURG | The Moriah Vikings learned quickly the rest of the CVAC is not going to go away just because they are the defending state champions.

The Vikings’ 24-game win streak almost saw its end Wednesday as Northern Adirondack pushed the top-ranked Class D team in the state into double overtime before the Vikings scored a 82-69 win.

“It was a great high school game,” Vikings head coach Brian Cross said. “Both teams played extremely hard. NAC may have lost a couple of players from last year, but they are still very good.”

While up for the challenge, even NAC coach Nate Bilow said he was a little shocked by his team’s performance.

“I didn’t expect the outcome to be like this tonight,” Bilow said. “They are the defending State Champs in Class D, and they returned plenty of pieces from that team a year ago. They have had big wins over larger schools in non-league play already. I thought our youth would show a lot more against an experienced team like them. But we played very well defensively tonight.”

The Bobcats pressured the Vikings from the start, holding a 29-24 lead at half. With

time winding down in regulation, Brett Juntunen connected on a late three pointer to push the game into the first overtime as the teams were tied at 61-61.

The Bobcats were able to take a 65-61 lead early into the first overtime before Dylan Trombley connected on a basket to cut the lead to 65-63. With 13 seconds left, Jay Strieble missed a pair of free throws that would have tied the game, but Trombley was able to collect an offensive rebound and convert to tie the game and send it to a second overtime.

The Vikings then showed the resiliency that earned them a state title in March, going on a 9-0 run to start the second overtime. Coupled with the Bobcats mounting foul trouble leaving them with just four players to end the game, the Vikings were able to close out the win with a 17-4 run in the second overtime.

“Luckily we played our best basketball the first two minutes of the second overtime,” Cross said.

For the Vikings, Trombley led the way with 24 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists, while Joey Stahl had 18 points, nine rebounds and four assists. Dewey Snyder added 15 points, while Braden Swan scored 12, Strieble 7 and Jerin Sargent, 2.

Juntunen led all scorers with 38 points for the Bobcats, while Cody Peryea added 17 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. Reed Lashway (13) and Noah Lambert (10) also had double-digit rebounds, with Lashway scoring 8 and Lambert 4.

Lucas Smart added two points, and Ethan Warick scored 1 point to go with eight rebounds. ■

Moriah’s Jay Strieble tries to get around Saranac Lake’s Jarrett Ashton as he looks to score against the Red Storm Dec. 15. The Vikings won their first two games of the CVAC season, but not without a scare in the season opener from Northern Adirondack.
