Petitions for School Board elections are available at the District Office, located at the Lake View campus, 25 Cisco St. in Westport. Candidates interested in running for an open seat on the board must be a U.S. citizen; at least 18 years old; qualified to vote in the school district and able to read and write. See BOARD » pg. 3

WARRIORS, PATRIOTS FALL IN SECTIONAL FINALS
Three teams fall in semis By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | After Stephen Leibeck’s three banked in with 1:10 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Section VII/Class D final to give Willsboro a 39-35 lead over Schroon Lake, something clicked
inside Andrew Pelkey. On the next possession, Pelkey drove the ball to the basket, scored and converted on a three point play to cut the lead to 39-38 before grabbing the rebound off the next Willsboro possession and going coast to coast for the game-winner in a 40-39 win for the Wildcats over the Warriors. For Willsboro fans, the 2020 trip to the Plattsburgh State Field House must have felt a lot like the 2019 experience against
Wells, with a key three-pointer hit late but a game layup leading to a tough, one-point loss. Regan A rnold f inished with 14 points, while Stephen Leibeck also had a big game for the Warriors, scoring 12 points. Hunter King added eight points and four assists, while Jared Ball had five points and four rebounds. Nick Reithel added two rebonds, while Brennon Farney had two assists and two blocks.

ELIZABETHTOWN |New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo directed the state Department of Financial Services (DFS) to require health insurance companies to waive costs for coronavirus testing. Issued March 2, the directive stands for New York residents with Medicaid coverage. New York residents will not have any co-pay for testing related to COVID-19, the illness caused by a new coronavirus first found in Wuhan, China. There is currently no vaccine to slow the spread of the virus. But last Saturday, Cuomo also declared a disaster emergency to help local and public health leaders more effectively contain its spread. The governor already signed a $40 million emergency management authorization to confront COVID-19. See TESTING » pg. 10
Supervisors speak out on budget Essex County has concerns over Medicaid, taxes, environment By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER
TICONDEROGA | When issues as diverse as Medicaid, the environment and vacation rentals dominate the conversation, it almost goes without saying that the source of the discussion is another of the governor’s fiscal 2021 budget briefings.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s lieutenants have fanned out across the state hitting the highlights and gathering reactions to the executive budget that will be submitted on April 1. Last Wednesday David Valesky, deputy commissioner of agriculture and markets was in Lake Placid, delivering a budget presentation and listening to local citizens and elected officials. Of particular concern to Essex County supervisors was the state’s Medicaid Redesign Team, which is charged with finding $2.5 billion worth of savings in a program that is in part responsible for the state’s $6 billion budget shortfall.

been determined, police said, pending toxicology and histology reports. Nichols was hiking with a partner and had set out Sunday morning to summit Dix when he experienced a medical emergency. On snowshoes, the pair were traversing trails covered in deep snow. The call for rescue came in at approximately 7:25 p.m., according to State Police Troop B Spokeswoman Trooper Jennifer Fleishman. The report alerted State Police to a “hiker in distress” on Dix trails in the Town of Keene. Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers responded and found Nichols had succumbed. “On March 2, Nichols’ body was removed to Marcy Field where Essex County Coroner Jay Heald pronounced him deceased at approximately 8:15 a.m.,” State Police said.

Lions club sponsors children’s vision screening Early detection is key to academic success By Laurel Carroll STAFF WRITER
SCHROON LAKE | For several years, the Town of Schroon Lions Club has been offering free eye screening for pre-K and kindergarten children in local elementary schools. The program is called Lion SEE (“Screening Eyes Early”) and partners with KIDSIGHT USA. This year so far, the club has screened nearly 200 students in five schools: Keene Valley, Ticonderoga, St. Mary’s, Johnsburg and Crown Point, with approximately 10%
of those children needing additional followup. The club’s goal is to reach out to parents, schools and caregivers, emphasizing the importance of early identification of potential vision problems. They refer those who need further evaluation to an eye care professional. Their equipment screens for six different risk factors that may lead to amblyopia, which, with early detection, can be corrected. The procedure is free, simple and non-intrusive, as no equipment touches the child. If 80% of learning is visual, a child who can’t see well, can’t learn well. Most children don’t have their vision screened until they are already experiencing learning problems or have trouble paying attention in class. Contact your local school for upcoming screenings, and visit the club’s Facebook page to learn more about this effort. ■

Sweet Nick needs his new home! By Bryeanna Villani COLUMNIST
Poor Nick was abandoned when his owners moved, and we thought the hound/rottweiler mix was far older than his two years due to the rough shape he was found in. Now Nick is healthy and happy, and so ready for a good home. Nick is basically a big puppy, we don’t think he had much of a puppyhood so he’s getting it in now! He loves to play in our play yard and thinks that toys are just the best thing ever! He loves to play tug of war with rope toys, but Nick is also happy amusing himself with his toys if you’re busy. He is pretty possessive over his toys, sadly we think he never had any before coming to the shelter, but we’re working with him on his sharing skills. Due to this, Nick needs a home without young kids or other dogs who may try to grab his toys. While he’s easy-going

“They must be residents of the district continuously for one year before the election. They cannot be employed by the board on which they shall serve or live in the same household as a family member who is also a member of the same school board,” the district office said. Boquet Valley District residents who would like to run for one of these seats must submit a petition to the District Clerk signed
by at least 25 qualified voters of the Boquet Valley district. Petitions have to be returned to the district before 4 p.m. on April 20. The School Board and budget vote will be held on Tuesday, May 19 this year at Mountain View campus in Elizabethtown. Anyone with questions about the process can contact Boquet Valley Central School District Clerk Jana Atwell by phone at: 518-962-8244; by email: jatwell@boquetvalleycsd.org ■
around both, he doesn’t want them playing with his toys! Nick is a sweet boy, with soft brown eyes and a doggy smile that tugs at the heartstrings. He does get a little anxious at times, but is extremely food-motivated so it’s pretty easy to get his attention. With a pocketful of treats ready, Nick would try to do just about anything for you! For more information on our big puppy, Nick, please visit “Adopt a Pet” on our website or call the shelter at (518)873-5000. ■

Boquet Valley Post No. 551 fundraising for park monuments Town park memorials to honor all veterans, all branches By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER
ELIZABETHTOWN | American Legion Boquet Valley Post No. 551 is working to add two stone monuments and a military piece to the town park here. U.S. Marine Corps veteran Bill Teuschler, of Elizabethtown, is helping organize the project, which he says is in queue to receive a decommissioned artillery piece.

Boquet Valley Post No. 551 is inviting Elizabethtown residents to consider donating to the project. Funds will help cover costs of purchasing and installation of park memorial stones and the military item.

Award winning author signing in Saranac ‘Finding a Woman’s Place latest release from Lorraine Duvall From staff reports STAFF WRITER
SARANAC LAKE | The Village Mercantile (formerly The Community Store) will be hosting Keene resident Lorraine Duvall for a book signing and a meet and greet on Saturday, March 21 from noon until 2 p.m. Duvall’s new book, “Finding A Woman’s Place: The Story of a 1970s Feminist Collective in the Adirondacks” tells the true story of an all-female commune in Athol that from 1974 to 1982 served as a refuge for self-discovery that changed the lives of hundreds of women. Her book describes what happened when 46 years ago, seven women left behind the lives they knew and created an intentional community deep in the Adirondack Mountains.
Duvall’s two previous books, “And I Know Too Much to Pretend” and “In Praise of Quiet Waters: Finding Solitude and Adventures in the Wild Adirondacks” have both been award winners. In “Finding a Woman’s Place,” Duvall explains how these young women struggled with their identities. They struggled with their place in the world and they sometimes struggled with each other as they banded together to, without the interference of men, grow their own vegetables, repair their own vehicles and solder the pipes that had shattered in the brutal Adirondack winters. Duvall’s latest book examines the fascinating history of this unusual place in time, a safe harbor for hundreds of women during the tumultuous times of what is referred to as the second wave of feminism. She brings a viewpoint to the story of both an active participant, attending a retreat at A Woman’s Place in 1974, and as a meticulous researcher examining historical documents and locating the principal founders and organizers of the commune to write the full story. The Village Mercantile features a large assortment of books including many by Adirondack authors like Duvall.

Opinion Women’s History Month
Thoughts from behind the pressline
Fear Not, Judge Not

Guest column
By Rep. Elise Stefanik
By Dan Alexander
GUEST COLUMNIST
PUBLISHER
March has been recognized as Women’s History Month since 1987, when Congress passed a law designating it as a time to honor women and their place in history. Each year, the President has issued an annual proclamation in the month of March recognizing the significance of celebrating the accomplishments of women. 2020 also marks the 100th Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. During this month and every month, it is important to reflect on the invaluable work that suffragists and other influential women completed, and the path they paved for women to succeed today. Women’s suf frage has a significant history in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a leading figure of the early women’s movement, was born in Johnstown, New York. Elizabeth was an author, lecturer, and chief philosopher in the formation of the agenda for women’s rights. She was a well-educated, visionary woman whose tireless dedication established opportunity for future women’s voting rights activists. Additionally, Susan B. Anthony’s childhood home is located in Battenville, right outside of Greenwich, New York. Earlier this year, New York State announced plans for restoration work on the house in order to preserve it and mark its historical significance for many years to come. Funding for this effort was championed by retiring Senator Betty Little – a force of nature in the North Country and an inspiration to me. Susan B. Anthony was a champion of temperance, abolition, and equal pay for equal work. She
Each day we learn more, and better understand, the threats we face from the Coronavirus, now known as COVID-19. At the time of this writing, there are 109,785 worldwide confirmed cases of COVID-19, of which 60,694 people have recovered, while 3,801 others have died. This information was taken March 8th from an “interactive web-based dashboard” hosted by Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering. You can check out this dashboard online at https://qz.com/1814380/interactive-map-fromjohns-hopkins-shows-coronavirus-in-real-time/ Sadly, these events are nothing new. Since the beginning of time, humanity has battled all types of infectious diseases, and the absolute worse was the Bubonic Plague, which killed hundreds of millions in previous centuries. Since those early days, we continue to face pandemics from cholera, flu, HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Zika, SARS, polio, and West Nile Virus, to name just a few. Fortunately, advances in scientific and medical research, as well as communication awareness, has better prepared us to defend ourselves against these invasions. Using the common knowledge we’ve developed over time will once again allow us to protect ourselves and those we love. The above statistics from Johns Hopkins clearly demonstrate that this virus, while deadly, is not an automatic death warrant. We know that the vast majority of those who have succumbed had immune deficiencies. Those at high risk must take extra precautions to avoid infection until a vaccine is discovered. The best advice is for each of us to be proactive not only by washing our hands regularly but avoiding putting ourselves at risk with unnecessary travel, especially to areas where the virus has already spread. Being such a mobile population these days, and living near the border of another country, none of us should judge others who take the precaution of wearing a mask or gloves, refuse to shake one’s hand or give a customary hug or kiss. Some ultra-cautious individuals might even avoid handling paperwork or brochures, opting instead to use their cell phones to take a picture or request that you scan and send it to them. Like most of the viruses in recent years that have been highly publicized, this too will fade in time and be replaced by another contagion that will raise the fear level, but each of these events creates new common practices that will assist us, even with things like the common cold. Getting available vaccinations, coughing into your elbow, keeping a vile of hand sanitizer in your pocket or purse, and yes, washing your hands frequently and avoiding touching your face will just have to become instinctive if we want to ensure our well-being and survival. ■

To the Editor: There is no worse feeling for a health care provider than not being able to help someone get the care they need because they don’t have insurance, especially when you know that care can be a lifesaver. As a physician at the Family Medicine Center in Plattsburgh, NY, I have been able to depend on the Cancer Services Program of Northeastern NY (CSP) to help my uninsured patients get screened for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and I urge everyone ages 50 and older to get screened for colorectal cancer. For people with no insurance, the CSP can help. The CSP provides free colorectal cancer screening to men and women ages 50 and older without insurance.
the visitor. Correction Officer assaulted at Green Haven by Visitor. The visitor “became agitated” waiting to be released from the prison around 1:50 p.m. He banged on the door that separates the lobby and visiting room. When the officer opened the door to address him, he punched her in an attempt to get through the door. She then tried to close the door but he grabbed her and punched her in the face. Another officer was able to help her close the door. State police said because the man faces a harassment violation, they will not release his name. That’s not harassment that’s an assault on a Peace Officer. The local DA should know it isn’t harassment. — Gregory Goldsmith, Plattsburgh, NY ■

D.C. This would create a wonderful landmark for people of all ages and backgrounds to learn about the historical and cultural significance of women’s contributions to society. At the time of my first election in 2014, I was proudly the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. It has been an incredibly humbling experience to hear from young women across our district and the country who are inspired to pursue leadership opportunities in their communities. I would not have the opportunity to serve in Congress today without the many women who cracked glass ceilings before my time including our very own State Senator Betty Little. As the North Country knows well, Betty Little truly sets the bar for her tireless and effective public service to her constituents. Our community has watched in awe as Betty dedicated decades of her life to representing the hardworking families of Upstate New York. I often get asked about women in politics, and I always proudly point to our local icon Betty Little who quietly shattered glass ceilings before it was hailed by the media. She has been a tremendous role model for so many. I am proud to call her a legislative partner and friend. She embodies the spirit of leadership that we celebrate during Women’s History Month. Women’s History Month is the perfect time for us to reflect on the progress that has been made by women like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, among countless others around the world, to give women an equal voice in our electoral process. As I reflect on their accomplishments and place in history, I am inspired to continue to honor them through my work in Congress. I will continue to stand up and advocate for my constituents in Congress and represent women on issues of critical importance. ■

dedicated her life to advocating for the adoption of the 19th amendment, and this year also marks the 200th year since her birth. Together, these women founded the National Woman Suff rage Association to push for a constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. I am so proud that both of these women’s rights icons called New York’s 21st Congressional District home during their lifetimes. As a community and as a country, we understand and honor the commitments that these influential women, and countless others, made in their decades-long fight to win the right to vote. In Congress, I make it a priority to champion initiatives to recognize significant women in history and celebrate their accomplishments. More importantly, I am proud to support initiatives that seek to educate the public about these women and ensure that the next generation understands the sacrifices they made to further women’s rights. The bipartisan Women’s Suff rage Centennial Commemorative Coin Act, legislation that I authored, was signed into law by President Trump this past Fall. This bill directs the Department of Treasury to mint 400,000 $1 silver coins to celebrate the 100th anniversary of women’s suff rage and ensures that the suff ragists who dedicated their lives fighting for women’s fundamental right to vote are celebrated throughout the United States. This coin will be minted at no cost to the taxpayer, and will honor the women’s suff rage movement and those who worked to fearlessly defend it. I also proudly cosponsored and voted in favor of the bipartisan Smithsonian Women’s History Museum Act. This legislation would direct the Smithsonian Institution to plan and construct a museum dedicated to Women’s History along the National Mall in Washington,

His body was transported to CVPH in Plattsburgh for autopsy. Born in Glens Falls, Andrew Nichols was the youngest son of Lawrence and Jacqueline Nichols. He graduated from Glens Falls High School in 2016. A student SUNY Adirondack, Nichols had started studies to become a park ranger, according to his obituary. Family remembered Nichols as an
accomplished hiker, who “was already halfway to being a 46-er! He loved being on any mountain, whether hiking, rock climbing or skiing.” The young man had also held jobs at both Gore and West Mountain ski areas.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in New York State, but it doesn’t have to be. With regular screening colorectal cancer could be prevented and is highly treatable if found early. There are several tests to choose from, including stool-based tests that are easy, painless, and can be done at home. Whichever test you choose, getting screened is the right choice. I have been so privileged to work with the dedicated staff at the CSP over the past 3 years. If insured, talk to your doctor about getting screened. For those without insurance, call the CSP at 518324-7671 to see if you’re eligible for free cancer screening. — Sincerely, Manal El Daouk, MD, Family Medicine Center, Plattsburgh, NY ■
Push for more gun laws
To the Editor: In the seemingly never ending push for more gun laws by the downstate Democrats & Governor Cuomo, yet another bill has been introduced that would punish gun owners of New York, all the while crime is on the rise due to the awful bail-reform law. Introduced by Deborah Glick, a Democrat who represents Manhattan, primarily Greenwich Village, A703 would ban all lead ammunition on all public & state land for hunting. While environmentalists would cheer this on, it would devastate hunting in the state of New York, much like what has happened in California. Non-lead ammunition is very expensive, often four to five times the cost of ammunition used currently,and is also not in as many options, forcing many gun owners to retire the guns they have for those they could get non-lead ammo for. This is not only just another attempt by downstate, NYC Democrats, who live in areas where there is no hunting at all, to dictate our lives. Ms. Glick has also sponsored legislation like A9775, which would ban contests of any kind where wildlife is taken, that bill would ban or outlaw fishing derbies all across the state. How long will it be before residents of New York say enough is enough? Contact your elected officials, no matter what side of the aisle their own, and tell them no more bills that would punish gun owners for doing absolutely nothing wrong in hopes that it would destroy hunting in this state, something thousands of residents do every single year and have for decades. If we lose what we have now, it’s very likely we will never get them back in this state. — David LaPell, Pottersville, NY ■

sociation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Diabetes Prevention Program to encourage people to take a risk test to find out if they should talk to their doctor about prediabetes. If you’ve been to the movies at theaters in Plattsburgh, Tupper Lake, or AuSable Forks, you may have seen our fun, informative trailers meant to raise awareness about prediabetes. What is prediabetes? It means a person’s blood glucose, or sugar, level is higher than average — but not so high that it would result in a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. When left untreated, prediabetes can lead to type 2 diabetes. Current data shows that one in three American adults has prediabetes. Early treatment can often reverse that diagnosis, especially when treatment includes managing weight, getting active, quitting smoking, and eating healthier. The Do I Have Prediabetes campaign, supported regionally by the Chronic Disease Prevention Coalition, encourages people to visit doihaveprediabetes.org and take the risk test. If you think you have prediabetes, the Heart Network and its partners can help you find resources to support lifestyle and health changes that may prevent a more serious diagnosis. To learn more about the prediabetes campaign, or chronic disease prevention resources in our region, send an email to amorgan@heartnetwork.org or visit www.heartnetwork.org. — Sincerely, Ann Morgan, Executive Director, North Country Healthy Heart Network ■
Coronavirus Cure!
To the Editor: There are two kinds of viruses: pathogenic and political. The cure for pathogenic viruses is chicken soup, rest, stay warm and stay hydrated. The cure for the coronavirus is straightforward. First, repeat to yourself at least once every hour that this is an a election year and anything goes, as in love, war and politics. Follow this by turning off all radio and television, stop reading newspapers (with rare exceptions) and magazines, and absolutely get rid of any and all devices connected to the internet.

of the best out there and your new stores are beautiful. I cannot express enough what the name STEWART’S on the side of a building means to so many people, so thank you for that. The concern is how Essex County Residents feel about your gas prices. I frequent the stores in Ticonderoga and Port Henry. Just 23 miles down the road in Whitehall, your gas prices are always a minimum of 20 cents lower and as much as 30 cents lower. Please tell me how you justify such a large increase when its only 23 miles away? Essex county is one of, if not, the poorest county in NY yet we have the pleasure of being some of the highest gas prices in the entire state. We, your beloved patrons of so many years, feel like you set the standard for gas prices. You have stores throughout this county and the struggling residents with lower than normal incomes have to pay higher prices for gas. We truly love your stores. If we hear correctly that your corporation has so much money that it has to spend it or lose it, why not give a break to your LOYAL FAMILY of CUSTOMERS. Oil is the lowest in almost 3 years, YET we are paying approximately the same amount as when it was at its highest in 3 years. This may fall on deaf ears or may not even get into the right hands, but if someone with some pull, some compassion and a desire to reward the very people that gave them so much money, I plead with you to become a bigger icon of our community. Set the example of caring instead of the corporate greed that has taken ahold of this country over the last 20 years. Become a leader of communities and not just another follower. I am also sending this letter to the editer of all Essex county newspapers.Your patrons will then know if Stewarts really cares about its communities like it once did. I thank you for your time and hope that STEWART’S will step up and show that you can make profits without hurting those that contributed to those said profits. — Sincerely, Walter Worth, Crown Point, 45 yr Stewart’s Patron ■
Committed to community
To the Editor: Stewart’s Shops is committed to serving the people in Essex county--our newly built shops in Schroon Lake and Elizabethtown and our planned investments for Lake Placid, Keene, and Port Henry are a testament to our dedication to the area. We strive to keep our prices low and fair and we remain sensitive to customer concerns. Given the remoteness of our Essex county shops, distribution and transportation of fuel to these locations is more complex compared with shops located along highways and closer to ports. Gas prices are dependent on many factors including market fluctuations, global trends, inventory, supply and demand, competition and taxes. We consistently evaluate our gas pricing to determine the most fair pricing for our customers while balancing company costs and market pricing. Since 1977 we have been giving back to Essex county, with annual donations exceeding $65,000 to local schools and non-profit organizations needing assistance. — Erica Komoroske, PR Specialist, Stewart’s Shops ■

County hears room tax comment Inn owner says vacation rentals get unfair advantage By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER
ELIZABETHTOWN | A Lake Placid innkeeper asked Essex County supervisors to delay a planned 2% increase in the local bed tax during a public hearing last week, contending that it worsens an inequity between hotels and short term vacation rentals. Denise Dramm, owner of Placid Bay Inn, said that traditional lodging, including hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts, have to pay an 8% state and county sales tax on top of the bed tax, a charge the short-term rentals can avoid due to — depending on what type of rental they are — an exemption under the law, or because their owners don’t bother collecting it. The proposed bed tax will increase room rates from 3% to 5%. “Small mom and pops like me will have to be paying 13 percent,” Dramm said. “Vacation rentals pay 5 percent, and this gives them an edge.” But it also hurts Essex County taxpayers, she said, because the county loses sales-tax revenue when a vacationer chooses a Short Term Rental over traditional accommodations. Short Term Rentals have drawn complaints, particularly in Lake Placid for unruly guests, absentee landlords and for having an undesirable effect on traditional neighborhoods and affordable housing. But Dramm said another side of the

issue is the effect on hotels and inns, whose business has decreased as Short Term Rentals have picked up. “It’s a devastating time trying to compete with vacation rentals,” she said. Her own business has dropped, and some vacationers will book a room on a Thursday, as a place to stay until a short-term rental opens for the weekend. “That’s the real slap in the face,” she said. Dramm was the only person to speak at the public hearing. Other innkeepers, she said, couldn’t be convinced to make the trip because they believe the issue has already been decided and that the hearing was a formality. After the hearing, Supervisors Chair Shaun Gillilland acknowledged the inequities, but said they need to be addressed at the state level. Supervisors are poised to vote on the tax in April, and it will take effect in June. The tax increase is expected to raise about $2 million countywide, said Jim McKenna, CEO of the Regional Office
From BUDGET » pg. 1
Supervisor Shaun Gillilland said he’s concerned over provisions that would penalize counties that exceed growth in Medicaid spending by 3%. That’s a problem, he said, because there is very little local Medicaid spending that’s discretional. So, under this new edict, the county would be punished over an arbitrary sum that it has very little ability to control. “Control over the increases are not in our hands, they’re in the state’s hands,” said Gillilland, adding that it would cost the county $1 million in penalties, which would also push the county’s budget through its 2% tax cap, which triggers a whole new round of financial consequences. An example, said Lewis County Supervisor Jim Monty, is the Medicaid taxi service which was taken over by the state in 2015. The county had been running the program at a sensible cost, Monty said, but when the state took it over, the price tag shot through the roof, fed by inefficiencies and fraud. Now, supervisors fear, county taxpayers could be penalized for something the state broke. Also on the supervisors’ radar is a taxation anomaly that allows vacation rentals to avoid state and county sales tax. That means such rentals hold an 8% price advantage over
of Sustainable Tourism, which administers the funds and promotes Essex County through a variety of channels. But the towns will also benefit from the increase, as their share of the bed tax will rise from $2,500 to $20,000 a year, plus a share of what’s raised from the lodging facilities within their jurisdiction. Gillilland said this offers towns the ability to feature and promote the tourism assets they feel are most important. “It’s a resource for the towns to pursue their own promotional campaigns,” Gillilland said. Towns will have latitude to spend the money as they wish, so long as the projects have a tourism bent. But those projects, McKenna said, can also benefit residents as well. Money can be used for advertising that will bring tourist dollars to a town, but it can also go to parks, concert series and trails that fulltime residents can enjoy as well. “It’s divided so the community gets something back,” McKenna said. ■
traditional lodging when renting out rooms. Not only is that an unfair advantage, said Wilmington Supervisor Roy Holzer, but it cheats the county out of rightful revenue. “That extra sales tax could be a very big help to us in county government,” he said. Supervisors also commented on a seeming disconnect between Vermont and New York over phosphorus runoff into Lake Champlain — a source of troublesome algal blooms. St. Armand Supervisor Davina Winemiller said New Yorkers must pay for expensive upgrades to their wastewater treatment plants, while Vermont farmers are largely held blameless. Dairy cattle nutrient runoff, Monty said, flows across the lake and causes algal blooms. “Vermont is allegedly one of the greenest states in the country, but their flows come across the lake and we have to close our beaches, and there goes our tourism,” he said. Meanwhile, he said that Lake George always seems to get more help on the wastewater front than the seven Lake Champlain communities. To that point, said Westport Supervisor Ike Tyler, his community’s sewer-plant will likely need to be upgraded again before the current upgrades have been fully paid off. “We’re down to a minimal number of employees because we have nowhere else to cut,” he said. ■

From TESTING » pg. 1
“As we continue to provide essential updates and encourage people to act upon the facts on coronavirus instead of the hype, I have officially done a declaration of emergency which gives us certain powers to help local health departments that are very stressed,” Cuomo said last Saturday. “As the local health departments continue to monitor and quarantine people, we have a more expedited purchasing protocol to get them all the tools they need to contain the virus spread.” The virus has
emerged across the U.S. with a clustered outbreak in Westchester County. One positive test for coronavirus was found in Saratoga County last weekend, the fi rst case in the Capital Region.
ALLAY COST CONCERNS
Executive and public health leaders believe free and no-copay tests for the virus will allow better public access and improve tracking and quarantine decisions in New York State. “These actions will help ensure that cost does not serve as a barrier to access to COVID19 testing for any New Yorker,” Cuomo said. Cuomo and the DFS have advised New York health insurers to be ready to cover costs of COVID-19 vaccine, once it becomes available.
Coronaviruses are a group of common viruses named for the crown-like spikes on the surface of the virus. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19. Photo/Centers for Disease Control
Published by Denton Publications, Inc.
“DFS is reminding insurers that they must cover the cost of vaccination for children under 19,” Cuomo said. “For adults, DFS’s guidance states that all insurers should be prepared to cover the immunization immediately at no cost-sharing.” About 97 percent of New York State residents have health insurance, but self-funded employer-based health insurance plans are not regulated by New York State due to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Cuomo said employees covered under self-funded, employer-based plans should contact their employer to fully understand the scope of coverage. But the DFS emergency regulation “prohibits health insurers from imposing cost-sharing on an emergency room visit when the purpose of the visit is to be tested for COVID-19.” The order also reminds insurers that they have to “to hold harmless insureds who receive surprise medical bills for health care services, including those related to testing and treatment of COVID-19.” Emergency measures have ramped up telehealth options for advice and treatment online
HOTLINE/ONLINE RESOURCES New York State Department of Health has set up a Novel Coronavirus Hotline: 1-888-364-3065 For more information about COVID-19 symptoms or testing: www.health.ny.gov/ diseases/communicable/coronavirus/ The Department of State’s Consumer Protection Division has a toll-free hotline to call if anyone suspects price gouging on items such as hand sanitizers or household cleaning products: 1-800-697-1220 ■
ahead of walk-in at hospital and medical clinics. The governor is also looking to amend state sick-pay legislation to protect jobs. The regulation would require employers to retain jobs if employees have to take time off for COVID19 related illness. ■
VIRUS HAS HEALTH CARE FACILITIES ON THE ALERT
Between the disease’s unfolding idiosyncrasies and the CDC’s almostdaily updates, the challenge remains difficult By Laurel Carroll STAFF WRITER
NORTH COUNTRY | The Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) seems to have the world on the edge of its collective seat as how to best track and control it, and our North Country health care facilities are faring no better. Recent communication between The Sun and area health care providers has resulted in responses from a variety of hospitals, clinics, laboratories and extended-care residences, including Glens Falls Hospital, University of Vermont Health Network hospitals, Elderwood and Hudson Headwaters Health Network (HHHN). One problem has been testing. Although one North Country county health department suggested that test kits were slated to be distributed to health care facilities imminently, to date, the Wadsworth Center (NYS Department
of Health), in Albany, is the only lab with the ability to test for COVID-19 for northern New York. Per Wadsworth’s public information officer, Jill Montag, “The Wadsworth Center is urgently ramping up its capacity to test for COVID-19, and will soon be able to perform testing for thousands of patients. In addition, a number of commercial labs and large hospitals will also be able to test very soon. We are working closely with the large hospital labs in New York State to enable them to perform testing as soon as possible.” Consistent with the ever-changing scenario (and at times conflicting information), a LabCorp press release dated March 5 stated, “Starting . . . . March 5, physicians and other authorized healthcare providers can order the LabCorp 2019 Novel Coronavirus NAA test the same way other tests are ordered from LabCorp.” (LabCorp currently services the regular outsourced laboratory needs of Hudson Headwaters Health Network clinics.) As the evolving situation at the Life Care Center in Kirkland (Washington State), nursing home suggests, extended-care facility patients seem to be particularly at risk for contracting and succumbing to COVID-19. According to Elderwood’s chief nursing officer, Rebecca Littler, RN, it has recently initiated additional precautions for the Coronavirus, to include signage in each of their facilities alerting staff and visitors to the precautions they should be following; staying in close contact with local and national health
OVID-19 continues protocol debate.

offices; and updating their online information accordingly. Indeed, their recently updated website states, “Because our residents are at greater risk from the effects of COVID-19 . . . we ask that persons who are ill, especially with respiratory symptoms, persons who have been closely exposed to those who may be ill, and those persons who have recently traveled to regions with high incidences of COVID-19 NOT VISIT ANY OF OUR SENIOR CARE COMMUNITIES” (their caps). Hudson Headwaters Health Network (HHHN), with clinics scattered from Moreau to Champlain and points in between, is basically following the guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the New York State
Department of Health (DOH) in addition to their established protocol for infectious disease control. HHHN is working with all six county departments of health in which their clinics are located. Addressing the testing issue, HHHN’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. William Borgos, said, “At present [March 6], the guidelines for testing remain very strict. We expect that over the next few weeks our health centers will be testing an increasing number of people as test kits become more available.” Currently, they are still submitting their test samples to Wadsworth. Glens Falls Hospital is monitoring incoming patients regarding recent travel, respiratory symptoms and contact with people who have tested positive for the virus—immediately isolating that person from other patients. Visitors exhibiting symptoms of sore throat, fever, headache, muscle aches, congestion and cough are not permitted to visit patients in the hospital. University of Vermont (UVM) Health Net work ho spit a l s (i nc lud i ng t he Elizabethtown and Ticonderoga campuses and Alice Hyde in Malone) are basically following CDC guidelines as well, including evaluating symptomatic patients and isolating those who are suspicious for Coronavirus infection, and are working closely with their local departments of health and the New York State Department of Health. Their lab specimens are also being sent to Wadsworth. Stay up-to-date with COVID-19’s by following the CDC’s website at cdc.gov. ■

QUEENSBURY WINS QAURTERFINAL
By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | The Saranac Lake/Lake Placid merged hockey team has had quite a successful first season. Winning the CVAC regular season title, SLP has now swept the local championships, as Rhett Darrah and Tyler Hinckley scored twice each in a 5-1 win over Saranac in the Section VII championship game Tuesday. Trailing 1-0 after Austin Carpenter scored a power play goal in the opening period on assists by Garrett Adolfo and Connor Graves for Saranac, Darrah opened scoring for SLP in the second period (unassisted) before Hinckley scored two straight goals (Dylan Amell, Darrah), followed by a goal from Bailey Bartholomew (Jon Kratts, Hunter Wilmot). Darrah then scored the final goal of the game on an assist from Amell as Anders Stanton made 16 saves in net for the win. “We came out and were ready to go, but things did not go the way we wanted to in the first period. We still came out strong and got a couple of goals to go and got rolling,” said Amell. “We talked to our captains and the group about getting back to our brand of hockey,” said SLP coach Keith Clark. “We did some good tings in the first but I think we were a little too loose and in the second the guys came out and played a team brand of hockey and things started to pay off.” Darrah’s first goal came 45 seconds into the second period to immediately turn the tide. “That was a big goal coming into the second,” Darrah said. “We just had to get more pucks onto the net and I had a chance from the right side and it found its way into the net and got things going.” “(Austin) Carpenter has a good shot and that gave us some adversity, but I am pleased with how our kids responded to us,” Clark said. Hinckley then scored his two goals two minutes apart from each other at the 9:13 and 7:13 marks. “Tyler’s goals gave us a lot of momentum,” said Darrah. “I got the puck and all I really saw was a player and the
Queensbury scored a pair of goals in the third period to break open a 4-3 game en route to the 6-4 win over SLP Saturday. Rhett Darrah had two in the loss, and also assisted on the fourth goal by Hunter Wilmot. Camden Reiley scored unassisted. Wilmot and Tyler Hinckley assisted on the first Darrah goal, while the Carter Sturgeon assisted on the second and the third was unassisted. Anders Stanton made 40 saves for SLP. ■
STATEN ISL AND | Saranac Lake’s Patrick Alberga earned all state honors will a fifth place finish in the shot put at the NYSPHSAA boys indoor track and field championships Saturday at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex.

In the state qualifiers, Alberga threw for 49-9, but improved by almost four feet in the indoor meet, meeting the national qualifying standard.

Peter Fogarty placed 30th in the 1,600 and 23rd in the 3,200, while Emery Tausinger of M/BV placed 33rd.

PATRIOTS DOWNED BY TOPRANKED VIKINGS For the top-ranked Moriah Vikings, it was next man up as freshman Rowan Swan and sophomore Will Rohrer had career nights in leading their team to a 59-45 win over AuSable Valley Saturday. Swan, who has started throughout the season, contributed 10 points, 15 rebounds and three assists; while Rohrer, who comes off the bench, tied for a game-high 17 points to go with seven rebounds and a pair of blocks. AuSable Valley again started strong against the Vikings for the third straight game, building a 15-9 first quarter lead before the Vikings responded with an 18-8 run to give them a 27-23 lead just before halftime. As Moriah tried to get the ball up the court at the end of the half, Patriots guard Luis Perez intercepted a pass near the halfcourt line, turning around quickly and launching the ball towards the basket, where it found nothing but net and brought fans from both sides to their feet in celebration of the buzzer beater as the Vikings lead was cut to one, 27-26. The excitement was short-lived after halftime, however. While the Patriots scored the

first two points of the half, the Vikings then went runs of 9-0 and 6-2 to pull away for good. Perez finished with 13 points and seven rebounds for the Patriots, while Eli Douglas had 11 points, five boards and four assists.

WILDCATS GET PAST KEENE
After trailing early, a 14-2 run by top seed Schroon Lake pushed the Wildcats into the Section VII/Class D finals as they defeated fourth seed Keene, 65-52, Wednesday. For Keene, Sebastian Smith was an insideout threat throughout the game, connecting on five three-pointers as part of a 32 point
Malena Gereau scored nine of her 18 points in the second quarter, while Kayli Hayden scored nine of her 18 in the fourth to help top seed Schroon Lake to a 51-40 win over fourth seed Keene in the Section VII/Class D semifinals Tuesday.

Emily Whitney had seven points in the loss, while Megan Quinn scored six, Haylie Buysse three, Caitlin Quinn one and Lacey Lawrence one.
EAGLES GET PAST GRIFFINS DEFENSE

Cafe comes to Long Lake Historic beach building to become Bakery By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER
LONG LAKE | If you find yourself in an argument over the most scenic quarter mile of an Adirondack byway, there’s a stretch of Route 30 in Long Lake that’s worthy of consideration. Where the road bisects the lake over a steel bridge, colorful float planes bob in the summer, the Seward Range in the High Peaks beckons in the distance and the historic Adirondack Hotel gives an architectural glimmer of days gone by. Also along the roadside is a modest, far smaller building that has had more lives than a cat, serving, in no particular order, as a snack bar, art gallery, diner, real estate office and probably some other things. Two years ago, George Carrothers, who maintains an admitted weakness for commercial real estate, passed by and noticed the building was for sale. “I could never pass up a ‘For Sale by Owner’ building. It was available, and I needed another project,” said the owner of Lakeside Apartments, who made a career of building custom homes north of Poughkeepsie. So began the reimagining of the historic old Island Snack Bar which dated back 80 years to a time when logs floated on the 14-mile Long Lake, which is sometimes described as a wide spot in the Raquette River. In half of the building, Carrothers and his partner Stacy Pogoda opened Another Paradise Cove, an outfitting shop renting kayaks, canoes and paddleboards, along with apparel, paddling and camping gear. And in May, Carrothers will open the other side, which will be known as The Bakery, offering coffees, pies, bagels, pastries soups and breads. “We’re trying to have a niche that’s not in competition with anyone else,” he said. “We have a good Chamber of Commerce, and the businesses all work together.” As Carrothers and Pogoda were developing
George Carrothers outside an iconic Long Lake commercial building that will become the Bakery. Photo by Tim Rowland the property there was another consideration too: the location, and its pedigree. “Long Lake has the best beach in the Adirondacks, and this (building) is basically part of the town park,” Carrothers said. With that in mind, they wanted to develop it into something that would serve the people using the beach. Carrothers, whose love of music is evidenced by stray guitars and accordions taking their place alongside paint, drywall mud and other construction materials as he rehabs the building, said he envisions the coffee shop will be a hub for music and outdoor relaxation. The Island Snack Bar was indeed once on an island, until a Depression-era work program connected it by causeway to a promontory where once stood the grand Sagamore Hotel, which was torn down in 1960. The causeway remains though, and Carrothers has plans to turn it into a promenade with benches and iron street lamps where people will be able to enjoy watching the sun set over Long Lake’s western expanse. He’s pretty sure he’ll have the place open by May 1, assuming he picks up a paintbrush more often than he picks up his guitar. No matter though because, he said, “this is a labor of love.” ■
