City eying more budget cuts

UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN TOPS $725K

Over six months after departments were abolished, mayor continues to defend cuts

By Elizabeth Izzo

» pg. 17

STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | City lawmakers are expecting to cut another $360,000 worth of expenses in the coming year, and another $558,000 in the proposed 2019 spending plan.

This comes after the abolishment of four departments, the transfer of a fifth to county control, and a number of other cost-saving measures made last year that Mayor Colin Read says amounted to around $2 million in total cuts from the city’s over $55 million budget.

“If we do another round of expense cuts, our fund balance goes into the green and each succeeding year, we have a very, very healthy fund balance,” Councilor Mike Kelly (Ward 2) told the Common Council on Feb. 22.

“Nobody would ever say that what we did was easy. We all lost a lot of sleep over it,” he said of last year’s cuts. “I hope that if we go through that exercise again, it can be done in a way that’s smooth and acceptable to the largest number of people.” » Budget cuts Cont. on pg. 17

The United Way of the Adirondack Region successfully raised $725,272 during their annual fundraising campaign. This year’s total was announced at a press conference on Feb. 13.

Dems stick together — mostly — as primary race enters new phase Dylan Ratigan, possible third-party ballot line shakes up languid primary

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The Democratic primary for New York’s 21st Congressional District entered a new phase last week with a series of fast-moving developments that have upended what has otherwise been a static contest.

The entry of Dylan Ratigan, a former MSNBC host and entrepreneur, into the crowded field last Wednesday shook up the race and led to two candidates dropping out within 48 hours.

And Katie Wilson on Thursday announced she has tentatively secured the Working Families Party endorsement.

“I’ve earned the endorsement of the Working Families Party, and that means I’m on the ballot,” Wilson told attendees at a candidate’s forum in Johnstown last Thursday.

“Local leaders of the WFP voted to endorse Ms. Wilson,” a spokesman, Dom Leon-Davis, told The Sun on Monday.

“The final decision will be made later this week.”

Wilson said she doesn’t plan on being a spoiler in the effort to unseat Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) this November and still intends on clinching the Democratic nomination.

“I do promise you that being on the ballot twice makes this race a hell of a lot more winnable in the general election,” Wilson told The Sun. But Wilson is also the only Democratic candidate who has refused to take a pledge to support the party’s eventual nominee.

“I’m not taking that pledge,” Wilson said. “I’m going to support someone who I think can win.”

Wilson must still circulate petitions for both parties ahead of the April 12 filing deadline.

The Democratic primary is June 26.

The developments injected a new sense of urgency into what’s been a otherwise languid and uneventful race to unseat Stefanik, who is seeking a third term.

PLEDGE TO SUPPORT

The rest of the pack is sticking together.

Eight candidates are running for the Democratic nomination, and all but Wilson have pledged their support to the eventual nominee and promised they will not wage a third-party campaign. » Primary race Cont. on pg. 5

Dannemora miniseries to film in Peru Ben Stiller, “Escape at Dannemora” crew to arrive next week

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PERU | A quiet residential road cradling the town line between Peru and Plattsburgh will host a film crew early next month.

The production company filming “Escape at Dannemora,” a miniseries directed by actor Ben Stiller about the 2015 prison escape of Richard Matt and David Sweat, has chosen Lyons Road as its next locale.

Two roads adjacent to Lyons Road, Rock Road and Lapham Mills Road, have also been flagged by the company as filming locations, according to Peru Town Supervisor Brandy McDonald.

McDonald told The Sun that the crew is expected to start filming on March 6.

Lyons Road boasts bucolic scenery, a milelong stretch between Rock Road and South Junction Road dotted with farms and open fields, accented with a historic, bright-red one-room schoolhouse to the south.

Rock Road runs vertically along the south

end of Lyons Road, connecting U.S. Route 9 to Lyons and Lapham Mills Road.

Further information was unavailable as of press time on Tuesday morning.

Documents obtained by The Sun note that Possible Productions, Stiller’s company, chose Lyons Road and the adjacent roads because they felt these rural lanes would have the least impact on residential traffic.

At the request of the production company, the town is searching for residents or businessowners who may have a large paved space available for the crew to utilize while they’re on site.

Anyone interested can contact McDonald at 518-643-2745 ext. 5.

Matt and Sweat, two convicted killers, escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility in the summer of 2015 and alluded authorities for nearly a month in one of the most high-profile and costly manhunts in the state’s history.

The eight-episode miniseries based on their escape, slated to air on Showtime this year, stars Benicio Del Toro (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Sicario”) as Matt, Paul Dano (“There Will Be Blood,” “Little Miss Sunshine”) as Sweat and Patricia Arquette (“Boyhood,” “CSI,” “Boardwalk Empire”) as Joyce Mitchell.

Possible Productions spent one week in Dannemora outside of Clinton Correction-

al Facility last September before filming in Warren County and other downstate locales, as well as those in Pennsylvania.

The company was expected back in Dannemora on Feb. 26 for another round of filming near the prison. ■

Candidates launch bids for open legislature seat Special election slated for March 27

Marking pledged to support the ongoing expansion at Plattsburgh International Airport and to ensure that enplanements continue to grow.

Both candidates told The Sun that they agreed with the legislature’s decision to back SkyWest as the airport’s primary commercial airline under the federal Essential Air Service program, and both pledged to support that choice if elected.

“In order to be successful, we must think and act regionally and across party lines. We must share services and look for opportunities to combine our efforts,” Henry said.

“People rightly expect their government officials to work together to get things done. I have a history of doing exactly that.”

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The special election to fill a vacant seat on the Clinton County Legislature has been set for March 27.

Candidates have officially launched their bids and are beating down the pavement.

Former Chazy Supervisor Mark Henry, a Republican, formally announced his candidacy last Thursday. His Democratic opponent, former Plattsburgh City Firefighter Jerry Marking, announced in January.

Both were endorsed by their respective parties in late January, Marking also securing the Working Families line.

This vacancy on the legislature was left by former legislator Samuel Dyer, who was sworn in as the new Beekmantown Supervisor in January.

Despite being on different sides of the aisle,

CANDIDATE BIOS

Republican Mark Henry announced his candidacy at a press conference on Feb. 22 at the Clinton County Government Center. Jerry Marking, a Democrat, declared in January.

Photo by Elizabeth Izzo

the two candidates share many priorities.

At his announcement ceremony on Feb. 22, Henry said that the primary goals behind his candidacy revolve around job growth, accessible education opportunities and responsible, sustainable fiscal planning in an effort to curtail property tax increases.

“Realistic budgets protect jobs, spur economic and community growth,” Henry said.

Marking said as a legislator, he will fight to keep property taxes low.

Where the candidates differ is in the problems they see as the most dire in the region.

Clinton County faces a number of challenges, Henry said, from declining enrollment — Clinton Community College recently saw its lowest enrollment in recent memory, while SUNY Plattsburgh had its first increase in enrollment last fall after three years of declining numbers — to the ongoing opioid epidemic.

“I have the experience to be part of a solution that can help Chazy, Beekmantown and Clinton County remains a great place for families to live and work,” Henry said.

Marking underscored a number of problem areas, from access to affordable housing, to dwindling parks, to what he characterized

as a lack of reliable high-speed internet in towns near the Canadian border.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced $103.5 million in funding last month to provide broadband for underserved North Country communities during a visit to Plattsburgh.

The state has pledged up to $500 million in an effort to fully wire the state by the end of the year.

“There are a lot of areas along the border, even in West Chazy, that don’t have highspeed internet yet,” he said. “(Broadband) needs to be expanded. If you don’t have that, it slows (economic) growth down.

“I believe that the continued expansion of broadband in our area and the further development of the Clinton County Airport are key to economic development of our area and should be a top priority for our county.”

Henry, a border patrol chief for three decades and a veteran of the U.S. Navy, served as supervisor of the Town of Chazy for four years.

He was also a member of the Chazy School Board for 13 years, president of the Clinton County School Boards Association for two years and currently works as a business consultant.

He touted a number of accomplishments through the years, from keeping town and school budgets under the state tax cap to successfully obtaining grants to fund infrastructure upgrades.

Marking, a candidate for Chazy Town Supervisor last year, was a firefighter for the City of Plattsburgh for nearly 30 years before retiring in 2011. He was active in the International Association of Firefighters Local Union 2421, serving off an on as an officer, and as president between 1991-1996.

Marking currently works at North End Harley-Davidson/Lake City Choppers, volunteers with the CVPH Foundation and the Clinton County Christmas Bureau.

The special election is set for March 27.

Three polling stations will be open throughout the towns of Beekmantown and Chazy. ■

Chazy residents band together for park upgrades

Local committee aims to raise $60,000 for new playground, tennis court

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

WEST CHAZY | The West Chazy Rec Park was home to many-a baseball game when Jerry Deno was a kid.

Deno, a Chazy town councilman and owner of Guma’s restaurant, has fond memories of the Route 22 location.

“I grew up with it, and my kids grew up with it,” he said.

The park was built in the 1970s and much of the equipment hasn’t changed: A small yellow bus emblazoned on the side with “West Chazy Central” in bold black betters is dirty and decaying from the inside out. A toy similar to a spring horse is missing the seat, and a flattened traffic cone has taken its place.

Deno wants to restore the park to its former glory. He formed a committee of residents, family members and friends to raise $60,000 for upgrades.

BRIEFS

Peru seeks Hall of Fame nominations

PERU | The Peru Central School District is accepting nominations for potential Hall of Fame candidates. The Hall of Fame is designed to recognize individuals who have made a significant impact on the school or achieved an outstanding contribution to society as a graduate of Peru Central School District. The candidate must have attended, been employed, served or contributed to the school in some capacity and must have been retired for at least five years. Deadline for applications will be March 29. Applications

Items on the agenda include a new playground, complete with a slide, monkey bars, swings and wheelchair access. The committee also wants to rehab an existing tennis and basketball court and incorporate pickleball.

The committee also wants to bolster security to stave off vandalism efforts.

“It’s a beautiful spot,” Deno said. “Really a hidden gem.”

Formally known as the George E. Deno Memorial Park, the location is named after Jerry’s father.

“He was born here — kind of a local icon,” Deno explained.

George was a member of the local fire department for years, and served as the town supervisor.

“When he passed away, the park was dedicated to him,” he said.

The committee is moving quickly on fundraising efforts, applying for multiple grants.

Clinton County and the Lion’s Club have also contributed $13,500.

A crowdfunding campaign is now live on ioby.org, which along with accepting online donations will allow the committee to receive a match of up to $10,000 from the New York State Health Foundation.

A comedy show at Guma’s on Feb. 10 featuring local troupe Completely Stranded will also serve as a fundraiser. Tickets are selling

may be picked up at the high school office or downloaded from the district website at perucsd.org/site/default.aspx?pageid=21. ■

New Plattsburgh city councilor named

Patrick McFarlin will fill Ward 5 vacancy

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Local lawyer Patrick McFarlin will fill the city council seat left vacant by former councilor Becky Kasper.

He was appointed to serve Ward 5, the north end of the city, by Mayor Colin Read on Feb. 22 after the council failed to reach a majority vote on McFarlin the week prior.

“I hope I can be a unifying force,” Mc-

Farlin told The Sun. Asked what his priorities would be as he serves on the council until the next election, McFarlin said his only concern would be that the city is prosperous.

“I don’t come in with any specific priorities,” he said. “But I will evaluate every issue based on its merit.”

Councilor Peter Ensel (Ward 4) joined Councilor Dale Dowdle (Ward 3) in voting against the appointment last Thursday, with Councilors Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1), Mike Kelly (Ward 2) and Joshua Kretser (Ward 6) voting in the affirmative.

Ensel said that he liked McFarlin, and

looked forward to working with him.

His no-vote was based simply on weighing the concerns of constituents who had called for a special election.

Kasper resigned from her seat on the Common Council on Feb. 8, citing a “tyranny of despair” and a lack of optimism as the council plans for the city’s future.

Kasper cited Republican Bruce Lawson — her opponent in the 2013 election, who received just three votes less than Kasper — as a good replacement to fill her seat.

When asked by a reporter why he chose McFarlin over Lawson, Read told The Sun that he felt confident McFarlin, a Democrat,

was the more non-partisan choice.

Read said that he hadn’t known him prior to looking for Kasper’s replacement.

“He had served on one of our boards,” he said. “When I looked for a replacement, I learned he was a resident of Ward 5.”

Read went on to say that he’d contacted Lawson and was looking for other areas where the candidate could help out.

As councilors filed out of the chambers, each shook hands with McFarlin.

“I’d just like to say... welcome, Patrick,” Ensel said.

McFarlin will serve Ward 5 through Dec. 31, 2018. ■

And those who have entered the race since then have also signed on, including Ratigan and David Mastrianni, a Saratoga-based oncologist.

“I suspect I will be of most use to them in the issue of healthcare, and it will be my privilege to help them get all of our neighbors coverage,” Mastrianni told The Sun.

Also known as “instant runoff,” the system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, a measure advocates argue helps voters better select a candidate that represents the majority of voters.

“They haven’t been given that at this point because the system is rigged against them,” Nelson said in South Glens Falls.

THIRD PARTY UNWISE

Joining Nelson, Wilson, Ratigan, Kim, Boyajian, Cobb and Mastrianni in vying for the nomination is Emily Martz, who admitted at the Plattsburgh forum that a potential Green Party candidate posed a real threat to Democrats, and she would try to neutralize that by continuing to reach out to all voters.

Greens ran a candidate in 2014 and 2016, but two-time nominee Matt Funiciello has said he will not run this cycle, and the party has not selected a candidate.

Clinton County Democratic Chairman Sara Rowden said she wasn’t aware of Wilson’s Working Families Party announcement, and wasn’t speaking in reference to any candidate in particular.

“We’ve seen the third party issue on the race in the past when the Green Party had a candidate, and it seriously impacted their ability to be elected,” Rowden told The Sun on Monday.

Funiciello, for his part, has criticized the spoiler argument as erroneous in the past, arguing that all candidates are spoilers of each other.

The Working Families Party line doesn’t necessarily equate to a third-party candidacy.

If a candidate wins their endorsement, and also becomes the Democratic nominee, they would be on the ballot twice.

“There is a really interesting maneuver that can be done we’ve been referring to as the double bump,” Wilson said.

But falling short could pose a problem.

“I don’t think that’s wise,” Rowden said. “That will create a problem for getting a Democrat elected into this spot, and I don’t think having the Working Families Party line would allow them to win.”

RATIGAN FACTOR

Ratigan’s entry to the race last week has led to two candidates ending their campaigns.

Sara Idleman, a Washington County lawmaker, dropped out and pledged her support to Cobb, citing Ratigan’s controversial track record, including his admission he’s never voted.

Tanya Boone, a former union organizer and businesswoman, told The Sun she plans on meeting

candidates this week before making an endorsement.

Democratic officials have said they’re pleased at such a large field, and have declined to endorse a candidate, including the chairs in Clinton, Essex and Warren counties.

“The county Democratic committee has been consistent from the beginning,” Rowden said. “They were clear they wanted the primary process to run its course and would not endorse one candidate.”

But she admitted Ratigan’s entry has acted as somewhat of a game changer, and has forced his opponents to acknowledge some hard realities.

“This is big time stuff,” she said.

Rowden estimated about 5 and 6 Democratic candidates would ultimately make the ballot.

Warren County Democratic Chair Lynne Boucher indicated the race remains wide open.

“It’s obviously a fluid race throughout the country,” Boucher told The Sun in an interview on Monday.

Boucher also acknowledged Ratigan has shaped the dynamics of the race.

“Obviously he’s brought a media presence,” she said. “I think his entrance to the race garnered media attention, and I think media attention to the 21st is important.”

All eight candidates, if they garner enough signatures in the petition process, have a place on the ballot, she said.

“I support democracy and I will support the nominee,” she said.

Boucher said she was optimistic Democrats would take back the seat in November.

“There’s a significant amount of groundswell to replace Elise Stefanik,” Boucher said.

The race was somewhat static two weeks ago, with various candidates touting themselves as frontrunners based on straw polls (Nelson, Cobb) as well as their fundraising prowess, including Boyajian, who has been the top fundraiser in two consecutive quarters.

“Now there’s a real heavyweight in the race,” said a person familiar with Democratic thinking in the district. “He has challenges and more baggage people realize, but it doesn’t wash away that he’s a national figure.”

Republicans said they were thrilled at Ratigan’s entry.

“The Democrats’ field in #NY21 is a liberal clown car with @DylanRatigan at the wheel,” wrote National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Chris Martin on Twitter. ■

Each candidate offered varying degrees of support to the eventual nominee, from donating what remains of their finances to redeploying their volunteers.

“The way I will do it will be to ask all of the people who support me to support them,” said Tedra Cobb at a forum in Plattsburgh earlier this month. “I have over 500 volunteers now, an army of people who are committed to working hard for me, and those people, I believe, will be committed to working for whomever it is that wins the primary.”

The pact joins a parallel attempt by one candidate to urge his colleagues to not to accept donations from corporate political action committees.

Patrick Nelson, a Stillwater-based activist, has made removing the corrosive influence of money in politics a central campaign theme, and has vowed not to accept funds from corporate PACs. Nelson asked fellow candidates to take the pledge at the forum in January. Since then, Wilson, Ronald Kim and Don Boyajian have accepted.

Nelson, who served as a delegate for Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2016, has issued stern warnings to his fellow Democrats against accepting funds for corporate interests, and has insinuated voters should not support candidates who do so.

“If they take corporate money, I don’t think you can support them,” Nelson told attendees at the Plattsburgh forum earlier this month.

But he’s since walked that statement back, and said he will support the eventual nominee — even if they decline to take his clean money vow.

“Yes, I will support them in the general election,” Nelson told The Sun in Johnstown. “But I think that they’re going into something that’s going to make them harder to win if they’re taking that money, and it’s going to make them less effective as a leader.”

He added: “A corporate Democrat is better than a corporate Republican. But a real Democrat is better than a corporate Democrat.”

Nelson said if he falls short in clinching the nomination, he will hold the eventual nominee accountable throughout the election process and their term in office.

“But I intend to be that nominee,” he said.

Nelson noted at the forum in Plattsburgh that the Green Party had been lobbying him to leave the Democrats and run on their line.

But he flatly ruled that out, citing his role as an elected Democratic Committee member in Saratoga County, petitioning for Democrats, donating funds and otherwise helping candidates get elected.

“I am a member and leader of the Democratic Party,” Nelson said. “I’m not going to be running on another line. This is my party, and I am seeking their nomination. When we were the party of the New Deal under Franklin Roosevelt, we won a lot of elections — so I’m trying to get us back to victory.”

Nelson did, however, call for rank choice voting.

Opinion

suncommunitynews.com/opinions

Partisanship From the Editorial Board must stop State proposal to cap Adirondack tax payments is a bad move Each week I tell myself, enough already — quit barking up the same tree.

But each week, I see

By Dan Alexander partisanship growing • PUBLISHER • as we continue down this slippery slope.

I get the fact that we’ve become loyal to those who provide a message each can endorse. As such, we turn a deaf ear to those who profess a view not aligned with our beliefs.

Both sides make good logical points in support of the positions each firmly believes, and that produces a resolve that only intensifies and hardens their desire to reject arguments from the opposing side.

I see two potential paths: Either one side finds a way to sufficiently win over a significant number of the opposition and finally dispels that line of thinking.

The other is we find a way to begin listening to each other and seek a compromise.

The sooner we can come to terms with the latter, the sooner we can put an end to the rage and frustration that is so apparent in every confrontation.

It seems clear, given the actions of former President Obama and President Trump, that without compromising support from Congress, we will be unable to pass needed legislation forcing more executive orders which are then challenged in the courts and deemed legal or unconstitutional depending on the party controlling the court.

Don’t think for a minute the courts aren’t partisan leaning in their views.

It takes an open mind to be objective, and it’s not easy. I think we can all agree on that point… at least I hope we can all agree, for if we can’t, our fate is doomed.

The two current issues facing us, immigration and school shootings, will never be addressed if we continue to stalemate. Both sides have compelling points, and the only solution is bipartisan compromise by all parties, including those who are single issue-oriented.

If our democracy fails to compromise and fails to solve these issues, the only alternative is a one-sided government takeover in some form or another or an open civil war.

By that, please understand it may not mean traditional war as the type waged in the 1800s, but more like the type of war we already see on our streets with police shootings; in the media with one-sided bias journalism and online cyberattacks.

We need to recognize the signs of what is already taken place over the last few years and realize it’s only the beginning. ■

Albany and the Adirondacks are engaged in a standoff.

Local governments and environmental groups have united to blast an executive state budget proposal to use payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements instead of market value to calculate taxes on the vast Forest Preserve holdings in the Adirondack Park and the Catskills.

The state is currently required to pay full property taxes on Forest Preserve, annual payments that account for about $75 million annually in the Adirondack Park alone.

The proposal would make all state land tax exempt, resulting in Albany controlling how much it would pay local authorities for the parcels.

While comparatively small in number, our local governments and school districts disproportionately depend on these revenues to provide services, which are already anemic under the state-mandated tax cap.

A swap would disproportionately impact central Adirondack communities with vast tracts of state land, including Newcomb, Minerva, Long Lake, Wells and Arietta in Hamilton County.

The state Division of the Budget claims local governments will be no worse off under the proposal. In fact, they may even do better, considering the state will be locked into making payments at the maximum allowable under the cap.

“Local governments will have certainty that the state’s payments will grow each year,” a spokesman assured The Sun. But local government officials are livid,

Upset over Thurman personnel decision To the Editor: It is with deep regret I view the actions of our new Thurman Town Board members.

After eliminating the deputy town clerk position, they propose and pass a resolution for an unpaid position for Mrs. Eddy to only answer the phone for the clerk.

arguing the measure will reduce local autonomy and their ability to engage in long-term planning.

Green groups have joined them in outrage, expressing concern that such a policy will likely erode the shaky alliance forged between the two sides during the past decade that has seen them finding more common ground than not, helping move the needle forward on unifying projects like clean water infrastructure, downtown revitalization and small business development.

The state continues to defend the proposal despite coming under withering scorn.

Count us in as skeptics, and we join the newly-minted Forever Taxable Coalition in opposing this proposal ahead of the March 31 state budget deadline.

Here’s why: While stakeholders may quibble over the exact financial details, it’s just too soon to issue a concrete verdict without more analysis.

We’d like to zoom out and take a more long-term approach: We support policies that liberate our communities from Albany — not shackle us to its misguided whims.

This erosion of local control, which has been under attack for decades, only seems to be escalating.

In addition to this ill-advised maneuver, Gov. Andrew Cuomo also wants to make his shared services panels permanent, which to us, is a colossal waste of resources considering the North Country has been doing

Why? We went hunting on the way home. None of those guns ever walked into school, none of those guns ever shot anybody.”

He continued: “What’s the difference? Did the gun change or did you, as a society, change?

I’ll give odds it was you as a society. Because you started to glorify cultures of violence. You glorified the gang culture, you glorified games that actually give you points for raping and killing people. The gun didn’t change. We changed!”

He hit the nail on the head. We make all kinds of excuses for rap songs that glorify rape and killing.

The state Division of the Budget argues the proposal will create administrative efficiencies, relieving the Office of Real Property Tax Services of the need to review assessments.

But isn’t that a self-inflicted wound caused by keeping spending at state agencies flat?

Why should we suffer?

Furthermore, the state faces a budget shortfall and an uncertain long-term prospects considering ongoing uncertainty at the federal level.

What’s to stop the executive office from tweaking these payments in the future to address further deficits?

Or what about future administrations?

Local government officials should be focused on local leadership — not currying favor with the governor’s office, whether it be the present administration or a future one.

This ongoing trend towards centralization from Albany has us concerned, and further ties into a larger trend of a loss of local autonomy paired with an over reliance on the state to give us massive subsidies to keep us quiet and content.

This proposal is simply a bait and switch, and should be permanently consigned to Albany’s scrapheap of terrible ideas.

More importantly, to imply that mental health services and programs are a solution to these continuing tragedies in a diversion tactic used to distract us from viable solutions!

As a recently retired licensed mental health professional, after decades of practice I’m wondering how mental health is to intervene in these horrific shootings.

We are not known for keen accuracy in predicting who is about to commit a crime.

And, even if we were, what laws would enable us to disable and disarm each potential suspect to prevent these atrocities? And what kind of world would be live in if we could be arrested because someone thinks we might commit a crime?

It is also likely that the vast majority of potential killers are not seeking mental health treatment. They are seeking guns — especially automatic assault rifles!

Production set for March 9-10

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

CHAZY | Members of the Chazy Central Rural School senior class are ready to take trip back in time as they present “Daze of Olde — Or, You Can’t County Backwards from Ten” this coming weekend at the school.

The play will be presented Friday and Saturday, March 9-10 at 7 p.m. each day. Admission is $5 per person or $15 per family, and includes make-your-own ice cream sundaes for a dessert.

“The cast is working hard and playing hard preparing for this production,” said Kathryn D. Brown, senior class advisor. “They have shown tremendous dedication, rehearsing around their busy basketball season as many play. The cast has shown a willingness to laugh and play while being very serious in preparing for the production. I am exceptionally proud

of the cast for their motivation, dedication, teamwork and seriousness of purpose.”

Brown said the show is an audience participation production.

“We ask you to cheer a hearty ‘huzzah’ when King Marshall Law comes on stage, bow and say ‘your majesty’ whenever the princess makes an appearance, and shout ‘fie, fie, fie’ whenever the villain is seen,” she said, using he production notes for reference.

That is where the ice cream comes in.

“For the efforts of the audience, they will be rewarded with make-your-own sundaes compliments of Stewart’s Shops following the performance,” Brown said, “All proceeds from the production helps fund the upcoming senior activities, including their white water rafting trip, class day, and graduation.”

Overall, Brown said she hopes the audience has a great time and enjoys the efforts of the soon-to-be graduates.

“We hope the audience enjoys the efforts of the seniors to produce an evening of silliness and fun,” she said. “We also hope the audience fully participates by laughing with enthusiasm and interacting with us as requested.”

Olympic Notes

Winter Olympics XXIII come to a close “Homage to the past, and an act of faith in the future.”

The flame ablaze in the Olympic cauldron was extinguished last Sunday, closing the Winter XXIII Olympic games.

It went out as athBy Kim Dedam • COLUMNIST • letes representing 92 teams in 15 sports closed weeks of competition in 102 events, including newly added big air snowboarding and mixed doubles curling.

Six countries sent first-time teams to winter Olympic games: Ecuador, Eritrea, Kosovo, Malaysia, Nigeria and Singapore.

Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, praised the athletes for their spirit and faith in a peaceful future and all nations for honoring the Olympic Truce.

It was a poignant speech, delivered as Pyeongchang handed the Olympic flag to the Olympic committee in Beijing, China, home of the XXIV games in 2022.

“Over the past 17 days, we have experienced Olympic Games rooted in tradition and showing the way to the future,” Bach said.

“They have proved true the words of our founder, Pierre de Coubertin, when he said the Olympic Games are a homage to the past and an act of faith in the future.

“A true homage to the past was the respect of the Olympic Truce, just as it was three thousand years ago in ancient Olympia,” Bach said.

“Dear athletes from the (National Olympic Committees) of the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, with your joint march, you have shared your faith in a peaceful future with all of us. You have shown how sport brings people together in our fragile world; you have shown

how sport builds bridges,” Bach said.

“The IOC will continue this Olympic dialogue, even after we extinguish the Olympic flame.”

Addressing the athletes, the IOC president said: “You are the best ambassadors of our optimism. Thank you for sharing it with us. Thank you for your competitive spirit. Thank you for your fair play.”

Bach also thanked Winter Games XXIII organizers and leaders in South Korea from the bottom of his heart.

Team USA athletes selected crosscountry skier Jessie Diggins, who lives in Stratton, Vermont, to bear the United States flag for the closing ceremonies.

Diggins won a gold medal in Pyeongchang, a first for American women.

Her teammate Kikkan Randall took silver.

“In my wildest dreams, I don’t think I could have imagined all of this,” Diggins said in a statement from TeamUSA. “It’s really been a dream come true.”

According to the Associated Press, organizers and volunteers in Pyeongchang made ready for the next games.

It’s not quite finished yet, the AP said in a news report Monday.

“The Paralympic Games, held immediately after the Olympics using the same facilities, will be staged from March 9 to 18.

But farewells were also poignant.

“Seven years after a successful Olympic bid that changed its people and its landscape forever, Pyeongchang exhaled.’Farewell! Bye bye! Gamsahamnida!’ volunteers using the Korean word for “thank you” shouted to departing buses in Gangneung, the coastal city near Pyeongchang where many events were held.

“Workers yanked down paper signs by the hundreds and busloads of Olympians, journalists and support workers rolled toward train stations and highways Monday in the aftermath of a Winter Games that was as political as it was athletic.” ■

Conservation Conversations

State needs to take lead in curbing sand runoff The warm sun beat down on my arm as it hung out the window.

It was Feb. 21 and the temperature was

By Richard Redman over 60 degrees.

• COLUMNIST • I was on the road, my hand out the window catching the air. It was like a summer day.

Fly fishing is calling, too early I realize, but I had to see the river. It’s in me and has to come out.

Lindsey Vonn took bronze last night.

I think about that as I see the skiers on Whiteface, downhill skiing, upslope from the Ausable River where I fish. They take the lift up, so they can slide back down the trails. I understand. We fish our way upstream and walk the trails back down.

Entering the Whiteface parking area, I spotted something that twisted my conservation karma: sandy runoff, loads of it, carried by melting snow coming off of the roads and parking lots into the river.

Grabbing my camera, I had to capture the gritty moment of truth. There were brown rivulets of sand, running off into the river, with no controls of any sort.

I stared at the runoff thinking: I worked my whole career trying to keep waters clean for drinking, swimming and trout fisheries.

Farmers have voluntarily spent thousands of dollars to reduce runoff from fields and barnyards. They have installed dirty water controls and entrapment areas to capture sediment, plus they installed clean water controls to keep the clean water clean.

Cows have been fenced out of rivers, and trees planted for buffers to cleanse runoff and shade the river to support aquatics.

I personally know many local farmers who have stretched their budgets due to environmental concerns and regulatory laws. Farmers are trying!

So how is it that the owners of the Whiteface Ski facility, the state of New York and

for animal abuse/neglect does not pertain to cats.

I don’t understand this. Are cats not worthy of being helped or saved from abuse or neglect?

People wonder why there are so many feral cats everywhere.

It’s because nobody cares, nobody does anything about it.

There are no consequences whatsoever when someone abandons a cat and this is exactly why people continue to do it.

When is enough enough? When is the law going to do something to help the cats who are abused, neglected or abandoned?

I recently contacted the sheriff’s department regarding

the Olympic Regional Development Authority, are getting away with letting road sand run off into a renowned trout fishery?

Common sense says they can’t and shouldn’t! As one of those “trout hugging” river guys, I must speak out!

Sediment or sand fill in the interstitial spaces in redds where eggs may hatch.

Reduced oxygenated water flows through the gravel damage growing embryos.

Secondly, the sediments in high concentrations can smother the embryos killing them and lastly, there is the possibility of entrapment of emerging fry if an armor of consolidated sediment is deposited on the surface of the redd.

Over the bank ran the grit and garbage into the swollen river. While skiers edged their way down the slopes, sand flushed down the drains on the bridge, into the trout waters below.

It’s time the “new” New York state leadership takes as much interest in the fishery as they do the hiking, skiing and winter sports industry.

Trout fishing in New York is very important. Sportsmen and women’s hunting and fishing licenses bring in millions of dollars, and local fishing economies benefit.

Having Olympic facilities that encourage tourists is great. The North Country needs tourist dollars, but you don’t forsake the fishery just to keep skiers happy and the dough rolling in: use their dough to fix the problems they caused — not ours.

Many in the trout congregation would love to see a wild fishery, but habitat improvement is needed first, and reducing the sediment from the ski area is one step up a steep slope.

New York state should be setting an example and lead from the front.

Walmart in Ticonderoga has sediment basins to capture runoff, and so should Whiteface to protect the Ausable River. So “sense when” is the state allowed to let this happen? ■

some cats left by their owners who were evicted in Willsboro. It has been one month and I am still going up everyday to feed and water these poor cats.

They try to say they are feral. Well, they are skiddish and scared of people because they never had proper care or love.

They were lucky to be fed. They would come around with care and compassion, but someone needs to do something.

If nobody steps in, these six cats will end up 30.

Then what?

North Country hungry for broadband details One month after $103.5 million announcement, details remain scant on final broadband stretch

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

MORIAH| It’s been one month since the governor doled out $210 million in state grant funds to mop up the final round of the state’s universal broadband project.

But information on exactly which local communities will be wired, and by which provider, remains unclear.

The 43 awarded projects announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month in Plattsburgh will cover 122,285 locations statewide, including $103.5 million for six providers to connect an unspecified number of North Country units.

“Phase 3 municipal data will be available soon,” said Jason Conwall, a spokesman for Empire State Development, the state agency that oversees the Broadband Program Office, on Feb. 16.

Once the municipal data goes live on the agency’s website, people will be able to see the awards broken out by every village, town, city and county across the state, Conwall said.

The BPO will also publish all awarded U.S. Census blocks, with a reference to which company was awarded each block, he said.

FRUSTRATED AT DELAYS

The website remained devoid of details on Sunday.

Local lawmakers are growing frustrated.

“I’ve heard absolutely nothing,” Essex

County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland told The Sun. “It’s very disheartening to be jerked around like this.”

Broadband, he said, is the lynchpin to economic development in Essex County.

“You’ve got to provide the background for which people can establish economic enterprises,” he said. “Without it, people are just going to leave.”

While Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and Keene have nearly widespread access, Gillilland said the rest of the county is a crapshoot, including the Champlain Valley, a hotbed of the local farm-to-table movement.

A handful of providers received grant funds last year to wire those communities, and work is underway, said providers, including Westport Chazy Telecom and Cable Communications of Willsboro.

But it’s difficult to discern precisely which areas are served, Gillilland said, because providers are not obligated to share their service areas with the public, citing their proprietary nature.

Franklin County Legislature Chair Barbara Rice said she was also still awaiting clarity.

“There are significant areas in Franklin County that remain underserved,” Rice said.

“We don’t have the details yet.”

Data detailing the grant awards is not presented in an easy-to-interpret format.

AdkAction.org, a nonprofit that has aided local stakeholders in solving the Adirondack Park’s broadband needs, recently conducted mapping efforts designed to offer a rough visual representation of unserved areas.

But the maps are not specific, illustrating general coverage areas — not address-level data.

Maps provided by the Saranac Lakebased outfit reveal large portions of Essex, Lewis and Willsboro contain areas eligible to be served by some $170 million in federal Connect America Funding, for instance, but

agreement with Time Warner.

The state Public Service Commission (PSC) is also requiring the provider to offer upgrades to homes located within their current footprint.

The BPO offered all U.S. Census blocks in the state as eligible for bidding in the New NY Broadband Program except for those that either already have high-speed access or already have a contractual commitment to provide service in the near future.

“The vast majority of these are areas committed to by Charter Communications,” said Conwall, the ESD spokesman. “If not awarded in our program, and unserved, these are likely Charter commitment areas.”

Like with the final round of grants, lawmakers continue to await specific details on those efforts.

While the provider has confirmed they have built out to homes and businesses in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, they declined to provide exact details.

“We reported 42,000+ in our most recent update to the state as of Dec. 2017,” Laura Pritchard, a spokesman, told The Sun, noting that number exceeded the interim goal by over 6,100 locations.

“Our report summary doesn’t include detail from every county, and we’ll extend our network to additional homes and businesses in these counties as we work toward the 145,000 commitment,” Pritchard said, Spectrum has, however, provided a website in which residents can enter their address to see if their home is slated to be included in future expansion efforts.

The provider serves about half of the households in the Town of Moriah, according to Supervisor Tom Scozzafava.

But he’s peeved at the delay in the renegotiation of a franchise agreement he said will provide a definitive timeline to wire the remaining homes in his community.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo delivers comments at Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2018. Photo by Pete DeMola offer few other details.

CHARTER CONNECTIONS

The state has pledged universal access by the end of the year, and has vowed to leave no area uncovered.

“When we started this program just a few years ago, 20 percent of the North Country had internet access,” Cuomo said last month.

The Adirondacks is home to some of the state’s trickiest terrain, and the so-called “lastmile” has been notoriously difficult to wire due to the prohibitive cost of installation.

As a result, many providers have balked at wiring the remaining areas.

In addition to the grants, the state is banking on Spectrum (formerly known as Charter) to expand coverage to 145,000 homes statewide as part of their merger

» Broadband Cont. from pg. 8 “(Time Warner) told me on Oct. 14, 2015 they would expand to Cheney Road, Route 9N and other locations,” Scozzafava told The Sun, citing a letter from former Time Warner Northeast Franchising Director David Whalen. “Nothing has been done.”

Scozzafava gave a Charter representative a tour of underserved areas last April.

“Somebody really has to hold their feet to the fire for accountability,” he said.

Charter declined to discuss details of a possible agreement.

“We are currently working with Supervisor Scozzafava on a franchise renewal, and look

forward to a successful outcome,” Pritchard said.

Verizon was also awarded $70.7 million last month in Connect America Fund monies, but details have still have yet to be made public.

EYE ON SATELLITE

Cuomo said 99.9 percent of the state will have access to speeds of 100 mbps or greater upon the program’s completion, with 25 mbps for the most “rural and remote areas.”

Some 70,000 underserved homes will be served by a satellite service offering 25 mbps, which is higher speeds than prior satellite offerings, according to the BPO. The unspecified areas are primarily those that were available in prior rounds, but received no bids.

The BG/NC Sun | March 3, 2018 • 9

Little, the state senator, admitted she didn’t have all the details.

“One (provider) launched a new satellite that will be active in February,” Little said.

“It’s bigger and faster.”

Conwall, the ESD spokesman, said details on the exact geography and the provider are coming soon.

“For these homes — which, if not for these efforts, would go unserved due to the cost of bringing broadband to such rural and remote areas — a dish will be available at a fraction of the standard cost,” Conwall said.

Stakeholders have said the economics, even with a relatively high level of state subsidies, was not enough for companies to apply for

these areas in prior rounds.

But the satellite service is far more cost-effective approach with public dollars compared to what could have been tens of thousands per home in these remote areas, officials have said.

The governor said the state is working with the technology that is currently available to fulfill the program, and cannot afford to wait for the next generation of new technology.

“Then you’d be waiting a long period of time, and I don’t know if that moment ever comes when you have the final technological solution,” Cuomo said.

Saranac Lake treatment center nets $450K State investment will expand 24/7 access to addiction treatment services, add 10-bed detox in Saranac Lake

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

SARANAC LAKE | The St. Joseph’s Addiction Recovery Center, a Saranac Lake-based substance abuse treatment facility, was awarded $450,000 from the state Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services last week.

The funding will allow St. Joseph’s to expand their Saranac Lake facility; adding 10-bed detox, inpatient services and 24-7 access to treatment options.

“We have an outpatient clinic now, but we’ll be moving into a colocated building and expanding staff to serve more clients,” St. Joseph’s CEO Bob Ross told The Sun. Addicts seeking inpatient treatment must now travel to Syracuse or Albany, a measure that creates a barrier to treatment, Ross said.

“When (addicts) come and get an assessment, and it’s determined they need detox, they’ll already be there,” Ross said of the facility’s expansion. “That’s a huge improvement in access to service.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the funding as part of

a larger $4 million investment in treatment centers around the state to develop round-the-clock access to treatment options for addicts seeking rehabilitation services.

“Substance abuse knows no age, knows no income and knows no zip code in New York or across the nation,” Cuomo said in a statement. “With these around-the-clock Open Access Centers, we can provide critical services night and day to New Yorkers when they need it most.”

Since 2010, there have been 72 confirmed accidental overdose cases in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and St. Lawrence counties.

“Access to opioid addiction treatment and services can mean the difference between life or death,” Sen. George Amedore (R-Rotterdam), chair of the Senate Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Committee, said in a statement.

St. Joseph’s Addiction and Recovery has clinics in seven towns in four different counties.

With help from this funding, staff will be on-hand around the clock in Saranac Lake to help with addiction treatment services.

Staff will also be on-call to provide an immediate assessment and referral to the appropriate level of care, according to the governor’s office.

“These new centers will make a significant impact in communities around our state by ensuring that anyone who needs services or interventions will be able to receive help right away, no matter the time or day of the week,” state Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services Commissioner Arlene González-Sánchez said in a statement.

“They also provide the necessary responsive, compassion-

ate assistance and support needed to help New Yorkers successfully start their recovery journeys.”

BATTLE AGAINST OPIATES CONTINUES

This recent $4 million investment joins a slew of other state and federal awards designed to combat the rising opioid epidemic.

As recently as last September, $25.2 million in federal funding was geared toward adding treatment services in “high-need counties” throughout the state.

But it’s not enough, Ross said.

“There have been increases in funding but those haven’t kept pace with the increase of the problem,” he said. “It’s getting worse each year.”

To Ross, the most important piece of combating the opioid crisis is prevention.

“Prevention allows people to address needs before it becomes an addiction,” he said. “Ultimately, prevention is critical in deterring that growth — and that’s community and school-based.”

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) last month co-sponsored a series of bills designed to help combat the epidemic here.

The bills include legislation that would allocate funding to hire specialists at veterans treatment courts, end a ban on Medicaid reimbursement for drug treatment for incarcerated addicts, crack down on “doctor shopping” for pain medications and expand access to medication-assisted treatment for pregnant and postpartum women, among others.

The package also includes a bill that would require practitioners applying for DEA licenses to prescribe controlled substances to certify they will only prescribe in keeping with current best practice guidelines. ■

SUNY Plattsburgh students vote ‘no confidence’ in admins

became public on Wednesday, Feb. 14.

The message, which showed Gates alongside an unidentified male with the caption “lynching n***ers tonight,” sparked a series of protests, rallies, meetings and forums over the subsequent days after students allegedly spotted Gates still on campus.

A spokesman for SUNY Plattsburgh said that actions had been taken against Gates the following day using the code of conduct.

On Feb. 20, The Sun confirmed that she was no longer enrolled.

Officials did not give a reason for her departure.

“It is my commitment to see these specific actions are taken to improve the campus climate and our expectations of each other and our region,” Ettling said in a statement.

By this fall, he promised to establish a bias response-and-referral process that will address bias incidents; implement mandatory, face-to-face training for all employees on diversity and inclusion; form a social justice task force with students, faculty and campus leaders; and enlist regional leaders to discuss racism in surrounding communities.

He also tasked Vice President Bryan Hartman with engaging students and legal counsel in a comprehensive review of the school’s student code of conduct; to send a letter to the SUNY Board of Trustees to support raising the Black Lives Matter flag; and to increase SUNY Plattsburgh University Police presence to ensure the safety of students.

Ettling said that he would also ask for more diversity among college faculty; request the faculty senate charge the General Education Committee to institute a mandatory diversity requirement for all students; and create a “multi-cultural unity space” in the Angell College Center by the end of the year.

“For now, what I can say is that the student body needs to see change,” Falace wrote in an email the next morning. “We cannot keep having the same disturbing experiences over and over again. Action needs to be taken and we need to continue to insist on it.”

Just hours before the Student Senate passed a vote of no confidence in Ettling, he released a list of steps he plans to implement to improve the campus climate and hold himself and his staff accountable.

On Feb. 19, students met with SUNY Vice Chancellor and Chief Diversity Officer Carlos Medina and SUNY Chief of Staff Teresa Miller to outline their concerns. » SUNY Cont. on pg. 11

College president releases proposals for addressing diversity concerns on campus

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The SUNY Plattsburgh Student Senate last Wednesday approved a vote of no confidence in three administrator’s abilities to do their jobs.

The vote formally signals the elected students’ opinion that college president John Ettling, Director of Student Conduct Larry Allen and Chief Diversity Officer Dr. J.W. Wiley are unfit to serve.

The Student Association’s Executive Branch passed the same vote last Monday, and the faculty senate was expected to discuss their response to the students’ vote on Feb. 27, after this edition went to print.

“I was surprised and humbled by the resolution,” Ettling said in a statement. “I intend going forward to redouble my efforts to regain their confidence by taking tangible, positive action.”

From the faculty senate the students’ opinion could be sent on to SUNY administration in Albany, according to SA President Jessica Falace.

The college bylaws state that the faculty senate will consult with the PSU College Council if an appointment of a new president is required.

Students began the push for college administrators to resign shortly after a racist SnapChat posted by freshman Maria Gates

» SUNY Cont. from pg. 10 In a statement released later that day, Ettling characterized the meetings as “robust and thoughtful.”

“We will listen as SUNY shares its findings with us over the coming days,” he wrote.

“This will be helpful as we work to bring our campus together and make tangible, measurable improvements where they need to be made.”

Ettling said that Medina would be returning to SUNY Plattsburgh, though he didn’t offer specifics.

DIVIDED, BUT PUSHING FORWARD

Students first circulated a demand list on Feb. 16.

The list originally called for the resignation of Ettling, Allen, Wiley and Provost Michael Morgan, based on what students perceived as inadequate or nonexistent action in the wake of repeated racial incidents over the last four years.

Morgan was later removed from that list, a point that sparked outcry from audience members

at the student senate’s meeting last Wednesday.

“I believe this resolution should be rejected because our questions haven’t been answered,” one student said.

No explanation of why Morgan was left off the list was offered by the student senate.

Another student, who identified herself as Mamie, said a call for resignations wasn’t her intention when she marched outside Ettling’s home on Feb. 16.

“We were marching for solidarity, not for people to resign,” she said. “I keep hearing that (the student senate) represents the student body, but you’re only representing how 15 percent of us feel.”

The student senate voted to pass the vote of no confidence by wide margins. From 14 senators, four voted no.

Falace said that the SA listens to the students that approach them and they do their best to represent everyone.

“It might not be realistic to represent every student on this campus, but we try our best,” she said. ■

Glens Falls National Bank to open Plattsburgh location Plans for Smithfield Boulevard location get early OK

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Glens Falls National Bank may have a new Plattsburgh location on the horizon.

Preliminary plans for the new building, set to be built off of Smithfield Boulevard adjacent to 99 Restaurant, were approved by the Plattsburgh Planning Board last Tuesday.

The Warren County-based company plans to move operations from its Cornelia Street office to a new 2,632 square-foot facility, complete with two-lanes of drive-thru banking.

Jillian Petrone, a spokesperson for Glens Falls National Bank, told The Sun that the existing staff would remain the same at the new location.

The new bank could be open as soon as next year, she said.

No details about the overall look of the exterior of the building were readily available. A more detailed plan will go before the planning board in the coming months.

Smithfield Boulevard would be the company’s third location in Plattsburgh, joining 30 locations across five counties in the state.

“We view Plattsburgh as a market where we’d like to grow,” Petrone said. “We think it’s a great community and we see this as an opportunity to strengthen our connection with customers there.”

The location is expected to share an existing access road with 99 Restaurant and Best Western Plus, according to Vice President of Architectural & Engineering Design Associates James Abdallah, one of the engineers tasked with overseeing the project.

But the company does plan to build a new exitonly lane back out onto Smithfield Boulevard.

The Town of Plattsburgh Planning Board requested that instead of adding another exit onto Smithfield, the owner consider working with Ground Round to create an integrated exit.

“We feel it would create a better traffic flow,” said Malana Tamer, a planning technician for the Town of Plattsburgh.

But Abdallah said that that option was unlikely.

“At this point that’s not a desirable layout for either owner,” he said.

The sketch plan for the project received unanimous approval from the planning board.

Glens Falls National Bank is the oldest corporation in Warren County, according to the company’s website, in operation since 1851.

Glens Falls is a full-service commercial banking company with a range of financial services, from online and mobile banking to consumer/commercial loans to asset management and retirement services and more. ■

Careers in Agriculture

By Craig W. Armstrong For thousands of years, the people who work in agriculture have fed us and kept our planet growing. While many professions have become obsolete over the years, agriculture is still a vibrant and growing field. Here’s a look at a few career choices available in the world of agriculture.

When people think of agriculture they usually think of the farmer. These folks are the life blood of agriculture and their job is an important one. Agriculture is indeed science and can be learned in many ways. While the concepts can be taught in school, there is nothing like getting your hands dirty. Learning to farm is many times passed down by generation. This is not to say that you must be born into it. While many people consider the farmer a person who works with their hands, their minds need to be just as

strong. Farming is a true science.

If you prefer using your back, there are plenty of jobs on the farm for you. Before our advanced technology, farmers of the past had to know how to do and fix just about everything. In many ways that still holds true today.

Planting and harvesting crop aren’t the only labor based jobs on the farm. There is plenty of work with machinery, animals and good old fashion hard work.

An agricultural job that beckons people with a love for animals is that of a veterinarian. This profession is one of the most important jobs in agriculture. As long as there are animals on the farm, there will be a need for veterinarians. A love of animals is a requirement, but so is a large amount of

Residents renew push for PenAir, legislature remains firm

Clinton County Legislature sticks with Washington, D.C. connection

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The federal Department of Transportation is expected to announce which commercial airline will serve Plattsburgh International Airport in the coming weeks.

But in the meantime, residents here have renewed their call for the current provider to stay.

A handful of residents last month asked the Clinton County Legislature to reconsider their decision to back SkyWest, a United Airlines partner, over PenAir as Plattsburgh International Airport’s (PLB) primary airline.

“You’ve already made your decision, but you can rescind it,” Geoffrey Barker, a retired Delta Airlines captain based in Plattsburgh, told legislators on Feb. 14.

Barker argued that if Canadian travelers stop utilizing PLB, SkyWest service would be rendered irrelevant.

“If the Canadian market crashes, everything you’ve built will be gone,” he said.

Canadians account for around 60 percent of enplanements at PLB. Barker also said that a hangar on campus rented by PenAir would likely remain vacant, costing the county up to $8,900 in rental fees each month.

Legislator Robert Hall (Area 10), head of the PLB subcommittee, conceded that there’s the possibility of lost rent — but that’s not a certainty.

“We also have a number of other entities interested in the space,” he said.

Another resident and employee of PenAir, Kellen Louis, 21, who created an online petition in favor of PenAir, re-

peated his concerns over job loss locally.

He specifically voiced concerns over the impact the elimination of those jobs could have on the local economy, as some of his coworkers may have to move away to seek employment elsewhere, he said.

“If jobs are lost ... to me that’s not growth, that’s recession,” he said. “And that’s not fair. It’s not right.”

It’s currently unclear how many employees SkyWest would hire locally.

Residents renewed their call for the legislature to back PenAir at the Clinton County legislature’s regular session last week.

AIRPORT IUTISIIIGH

The average fare on PenAir would be $76.

With SkyWest, the average fare is estimated at $105.

Brown argued that while he sympathizes with travelers that travel directly to Boston on PenAir, he said it’s inconvenient for travelers connecting to flights elsewhere.

“SkyWest will be far more convenient to go anywhere else,” he said. “And far more efficient.”

SUPPORT ON BOTH SIDES

The DOT has logged over 130 letters in support of SkyWest online, the majority of which are written by businessowners, local officials and advocacy groups.

PenAir logged around 500 letters, most from frequent fliers and other residents, less than half of them related to Plattsburgh service.

SkyWest would provide daily express service aboard a 50-seat airplane from PLB to Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. PenAir would continue to provide daily service aboard their 33-seat Saab 340 aircraft.

CHOOSE ONLY ONE

Only one carrier at a time can receive subsidies from the DOT under the EAS, and a PenAir spokesperson told The Sun last month the company plans to pull out of PLB if SkyWest is approved for EAS subsidies.

In August of last year, PenAir filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and began closing some of their Pacific Northwest routes.

PenAir closed flights between Crescent City, California and Portland, Oregon, a route that PenAir served under an EAS contract last December.

Officials there are still working with the DOT to secure a new commercial air service provider, according to the airport’s website.

In the weeks since the legislature announced that they would back SkyWest, a concentrated campaign in favor of PenAir has surfaced.

An online petition calling for PenAir to retain their spot at PLB, started by a PenAir employee, has garnered over 1,000 signatures in one month.

Advertising in local newspapers has surfaced, calling on residents to speak with the DOT on PenAir’s behalf.

But the legislature has also received numerous letters in support of SkyWest, according to Brown.

And a study of the four million-person population within a 90-minute radius of PLB, according to Airport Manager Christopher Kreig, found Washington, D.C. to have the biggest market in the area.

Hall said that the legislature retains the position that SkyWest is the best option for the future of the county.

“I really believe this is the avenue we have to go for Clinton County,” he told The Sun.

COST COMPARISON

Louis also argued that PenAir’s bid was less expensive than SkyWest’s.

“Why spend taxpayer money to bring in something that’s available 45 minutes away?” he asked, adding that Boston Logan International Airport was far larger than Dulles.

“Why spend more money to go to a smaller place?”

Deputy County Administrator Rodney Brown directly refuted Louis’ comments in an phone interview with The Sun. He said that PenAir’s total bid, which covered two years, was more expensive than SkyWest’s and was contingent upon the airline also securing two other airports — Presque Isle and Bar Harbor, Maine.

PenAir’s EAS proposal submitted to the DOT asks for $6,930,408 in subsidies over two years to serve PLB with 12 weekly flights to Boston Logan.

That’s an increase of $872,043 over the last cycle’s request, and $1,502,262 more than the company’s bid in 2014.

The airline attributes the projected increase in costs in 2018 to an $8,723 per month increase in hangar rent at PLB, increased costs at Boston Logan, costs incurred through a change in flight time and an additional $25,000 for advertising in Canadian markets.

SkyWest requested $6,743,790 in subsidies over two years, for the same number of weekly flights, but to Dulles International.

SkyWest’s bid also includes a contingency to serve Presque Isle, Maine.

Regardless of which airline the county backs, the federal DOT has the final say in which airline will receive EAS subsidies.

The DOT closed its final public comment period in earlyFebruary, according to County Administrator Michael Zurlo.

The legislature is expecting to hear a decision from the DOT in March. ■

The first-term mayor continued to reiterate the city is not in crisis, echoing claims he made the previous week.

“We’ve actually got ways to proceed and plans that we can put in place,” Read said. “A crisis is when you have very few options or no options and you’re searching for options.”

Local nonprofit forges ahead with help from 3,000 donors

PLATTSBURGH | United Way of the Adirondack Region, a nonprofit that serves residents of the tri-county area, successfully raised $725,272.

expenses with $22 million in revenue, Read said.

“We would’ve ended up with significant deficits in the next 10 years.”

If the council opted to simply raise taxes, the city would’ve hit the constitutional limit in a few years, he said.

“If you’re flying along and you find there’s three engines out in a four engine aircraft, and you want to make your way back to the airport, stabilize the flight and three engines out on an aircraft is doable,” Read said. “There’s a plan, there’s a procedure to get through this.

row that the charity’s fundraising numbers have remained stable.

“All the funds stay local and go toward supporting critical services for our friends and neighbors here in the North Country,” Board of Directors President Ed Davis said in a statement.

Last year the charity raised $725,115.

Members of the local United Way announced this year’s campaign total at a press conference on Feb. 13.

“We are so delighted to deliver this exciting news to our three-county region,” said Todd McCarthy, this year’s campaign chair and owner of Lenny’s Shoes and Apparel.

“It is once again a testament to the generosity and caring nature of the North Country.

“I am always so impressed to see how

people in our region come together for their friends and neighbors.”

Bernardi, a member of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Recovery Coalition of Clinton County, told reporters that continuing to combat the opiate crisis locally remains a top priority for the United Way this year.

The nonprofit will also continue lending a hand in emergency situations, as they did when floodwater damaged 70 homes at Underwood Estates last month, displacing 50 families.

United Way stepped in to act as a coordinator, bringing in partner agencies to help residents in need.

Last year, United Way’s local network provided service to nearly 80,000 people throughout Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, according to a news release from the charity.

The State Employees Federated Appeal, a campaign for state employees that runs parallel to United Way, also completed fundraising and successfully secured $91,242.

Last year they raised $119,152.

Bernardi thanked each of the nonprofit’s members who helped out with the fundraising campaign, including Bruce Garcia, Marge Garcia, Julie Kramer, Tony Searing, Lisa VanNatten, Jerry Morrow, Bruce Gray, Anna Walls, Gayle Alexander, Dan Alexander, Lori Delaney, DaleAnne Wolter, Joelle Lamica, Hannah Provost, Beth Barnes, Jamie Basiliere, Jody Carpenter, Amy Kretser, Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) and staff members Marion Daniels, Kathy Snow, Rachel Brown, Leona Andrews, Holly LaFountain and Stephanie Euber. ■

Nolan falls in finals; Dubuque takes third

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

ALBANY | Five Section VII wrestlers placed at the NYSPHSAA state tournament Saturday, Feb. 24, with two wrestlers reaching the final match and one scoring five straight wins to be the only Section VII wrestler to finish his season with hand raised.

THE FINALISTS

Jake Nolan of Saranac (16) and Chance Lapier of AuSable Valley (182) both wrestled their way through the main bracket to reach the championship finals. Nolan scored an escape point early in the second period to take a 1-0 lead against Bryce Rowe of Section VI, and held that lead until the 20 second mark of the third, when Rowe was able to complete a reverse move on Nolan and score a 2-1 win.

For Lapier, it was a single-leg takedown that gave opponent Connor Fredericks a 2-0 early lead. Lapier later earned an escape point in the first and both wrestlers earned escape points in the next two periods, respectively, but Lapier was unable to get close enough to Fredericks late, falling, 3-2.

“I am so proud of my time as a wrestler here and I want to thank my coaches, family and everyone who has helped me along the way,” senior Lapier said. “I think I could have been more aggressive, but I’ll go back to the gym on Monday and there is no way my story is done.”

“We knew Fredericks always had tight matches,” coach Kenny Baker said. “We had a gameplan, but it did not work out like we wanted it to. Chance has been a great wrestler

here and has been a true leader for this team and is also well-respected in the section.”

Nolan, a junior, shared Lapier’s thoughts.

“I was planning on taking a couple weeks of but I think I’ll be in the wrestling room Monday,” he said. “I think I could have been more aggressive earlier, but he is a great wrestler and did what he had to do.”

“I know this is not the result we wanted, but I think this will give us something to work toward,” coach Heith Smith said.

CONSOLATION CHAMP

For Peru junior Logan Dubuque, the tournament did not start the way he had planned out, dropping a 4-1 decision to Brad Cheek of Section V. “After the first match I was thinking that it was going to be a tough ride back,” Dubuque said.

“My goal was to keep wrestling and going after it, but I knew it was going to be a tough one.”

The loss put Dubuque in the consolation bracket, needing three wins to secure an allstate, top six finish, four wins to place fifth and five wins to earn a third place finish.

Not an easy task.

“It’s not something you see done every year,” said Peru co-coach Gary Edwards. “You have to have the mental ability to fight back in each match and that is what Logan did.”

Dubuque started his redemption run with a pair of pins, one 34 seconds into the second period and the next with 18 seconds left in the first, putting him in the consolation semifinals and a rematch with Cheek.

“It was after I pinned Shambo I really felt I was getting ready to go after it and get the

Saranac’s Jake Nolan placed second at the NYSPHSAA state tournament. consolation title,” Dubuque said. “It as really nice to come back and get as big a win as I did against Cheek. I knew I could beat him,” The changes worked, as Dubuque went from dropping a 4-1 decision to winning and 11-3 majority decision over Cheek, pushing him into the consolation finals.

In that match, Dubuque battled to a draw with Caleb Robinson of Section IV. In the overtime, Dubuque found his shot, dropping Robinson 37 seconds into the first overtime to claim third place.

“It feels good that I got my hand raised in my final match,” he said.

While reflecting on the weekend and looking ahead, Dubuque had an immediate plan for his offseason training.

“I am going to get some food, definitely have to do that,” Dubuque said. “I’m going to train to get to Fargo and this has me really focused as I get ready to enter into my senior year.”

PLACE FINISHERS

Saranac’s Bryce Smith rebounded from finishing off the podium last season to placing sixth in the 126 bracket, going 3-3 over the weekend.

“I felt good after my first match but went into the next match against a two-time state champ, which didn’t turn out as well so I had to wrestle back,” Smith said. “The big thing I noticed is that speed is a big thing as well as being mentally tough.”

Peru’s Alijiah Seymour went 2-2 and was awarded sixth place in the Division II 113 bracket after federation schools were taken out of the bracket, Here is how the other Section VII wrestlers fared at the NYSPHSAA tournament: Swyer Bruce (99): 2-2; Robert Foley (160): 2-2; Alex Christman (132): 0-2; Kaeden Peryea (138): 2-2; Zach Swyers (145): 2-2; Johnny Devins (152): 2-2; Jaice Filon (170): 1-2; Mason Maulding (195): 1-2; Jaden Maldanado (220): 0-2; Dalton Criss (285): 2-2. ■

Section VII Class B finals set

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Four games at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse Feb. 23 determined the four teams who would play for the Section VII/Class B title games this weekend.

On March 2, it will be the top seed Northeastern Clinton Lady Cougars and third seed Saranac Lady Chiefs, while March 3 will have the top seed Plattsburgh High Hornets and second seed Peru indians.

GIRLS

Elise LePage started her game by connecting on a three-pointer, and was the leading scorer as the Chiefs won the series series against the Beekmantown Eagles with a 49-40 win.

LePage finished the game with three triples as part of a 20 point night. She also helped ice the game for Saranac by connecting on

seven free throws.

Taylor Alexander added 13 points. Kaitlyn Bjelko scored 11 points to lead the Eagles, while Rylee Fesette and Alyssa Waters each scored 9.

In the second game, the Lady Cougars ran away from the Peru Lady Indians in the second half, outscoring them 26-8 on their way to a 46-18 win.

“Our defense was solid and forced a lot of turnovers,” said Cougars coach Robb Garrand.

“The key this week will be all players getting involved offensively and effective movement without the ball.”

Kya McComb scored 17 points to lead the Cougars, while Kiersten McCarthy had 7 points for the Indians.

BOYS

Trailing by six at halftime, the Indians put up 28 points in the second half to score a three-point, 42-39 win, over Saranac in

the first boy’s semifinal.

Jake Casey scored 10 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter to help complete the comeback.

Tyler Whitehurst added 9 points while Dylan Rickert added 8 points and Hunter Caron 7.

“Our defense-we were able to disrupt Saranac’s using our aggressive man defense -the kids played hard and smart,” said Peru coach Eric Dubay. “We were able to take better shots in the second half as well-making the extra pass was huge for us-and then knock them down.”

Jared Duquette scored 9 points for the Chiefs, while Cameron Duffield, Connor Recore and Zack Marlow each scored 8.

The Indians will now face PHS, who scored a 65-50 win over Beekmantown.

“I think the key against PHS is playing aggressive defense and making the extra pass so the shooter has a cleaner shot,” said Dubay.

Mitch Senecal scored 17 points to lead the
