Health facilities changing policies for Coronavirus CVPH says those worried about symptoms should call before seeking treatment as facilities in the area also change visitation procedures By Andrea VanValkenburg STAFF WRITER

County health department educates on infection management
Pictured left: At a recent press conference held at the City of Plattsburgh, a Clinton County Health Department (CCHD) representative facilitated the distribution of educational information concerning infection management as a precaution, should any local cases of COVID-19 emerge in or around the city. CCHD’s Director of Health Care Services Erin Streiff reiterated basic hygiene measures all community members should be taking, such as frequent hand-washing for the minimum duration of 20 seconds, using hand sanitizer with 60 percent alcohol content or above, avoiding touching one’s face and eyes and remaining home from work or school when one presents cold- or flu-like symptoms. Though the virus in question has not emerged locally at this time, vulnerable populations remain the highest concern, such as elderly folks residing in nursing homes or assisted living centers. Should any local cases be identified, the city has a consistent emergency response plan in line with the potential for widespread illness-related concerns. Photo by Alina Walentowicz

Betty Little (R) and other area officials challenged the assertion that 100 percent cell coverage exists throughout the state. “Everybody thinks we have 100 percent coverage, and I don’t know who figures that out because they’re wrong,” Little said at the event, noting this

Women’s Expo coming to Plattsburgh The first-annual Women’s Expo is being held Saturday, April 18, at West Side Ballroom. Admission is $5 with all proceeds benefiting Make-A-Wish. A light menu and bar will be available. Anyone interested in becoming a sponsor or joining the effort, can contact Graves at 518-578-5233 or email jelivingwell@hotmail.com. ■
Beauty, health, finances, more; event to mix services, vendors in first women’s expo STAFF WRITER
PLATTSBURGH | The region’s first largescale Women’s Expo will bring local vendors and services together for a day of enrichment on Saturday, April 18. “We’re very excited,” organizer Tracy Graves of Mooers recently told Sun Community News. “We’re going to have health and wellness, beauty, financial services, travel, home decor-anything that really appeals to women. There will be seminars throughout the day, and several community-service agencies are going to be there.” From various vendors to local organizations and employment agencies, volunteers plan to fill West Side Ballroom with booths and exhibits on April 18. “There’s even going to be a medium. We’re really having fun with it and want to make it unique,” Graves said. The idea came several weeks ago as Graves reminisced about an informal ladies-networking group she hosted years
Mayoral race update, city candidate drops Remaining candidates vie for signatures before April 2
ago and was inspired to bring that idea back to the region on a larger scale. “I’ve always enjoyed going to women’s expos and thought we really need to have one here, so I reached out to a few people and said ‘We really need to plan this’,” the former local entrepreneur said. With help from Pamela Jackson and Diane Burl, Graves jumped into planning and has already had overwhelming support from interested vendors and the community. As planning continues, Graves, an assistant manager for AAA, said she hopes the event will soon gain sponsorships to help promote the expo as a regional affair. “We’re just hoping to get a really nice response and get the awareness out there so each year it will grow,” she said, adding that the first 150 attendees will also receive promotional bags. “We want to get women in to shop, but also to have those services and community information available for anyone who may need it. We want to have an educational component to it too. “They can come for a day of fun, but can also find different kinds of help if they need it too.” ■

PLATTSBURGH | What began as a sixperson race has now dwindled to four. Miles N. Davis (D) recently withdrew from the Plattsburgh city mayor’s race citing “family issues, timing, petit ion season” among his reasons. After about a week of deliberating, he perceived that the overall race’s evolving tone no longer aligned with his vision for the city, alluding to his own conversations and interactions with others involved. He said in a Facebook post, “it has turned for the worse. It has become a battle of ego and selfishness. Of deceit and lies.” His intentions are to remain in the local political sphere moving forward, mentioning plans to run for the Ward 3 councilor seat in 2022. He says there are more updates to come.
DAVIS ENDORSES DORJEE
Following his exit from the race, Davis endorsed Tenzin Dorjee (D), a downtown business owner, in what he claims was an effort to “stop the misinformation and chaos erupting from our local politics”. With less than a month left to gather and file 5 percent of signatures from city voters

With his business located not far from the commonly acknowledge unofficial truck loading/unloading zone on Bridge Street in front of Our House Bistro and Green Room, Dorjee noted that city representatives had not been in contact with him on this issue, though Director of Community Development Matt Miller had said during his presentation to the County Planning Board that downtown businesses were being communicated and collaborated with to the best of the city’s ability. Another democratic candidate for mayor in 2020, Roseqnuest, has said all candidates in this particular race will need to take a position on the Durkee Street development and planning process considering its contested nature as part of the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) grant funds awarded back in 2016. Key entities emerging in discussions surrounding the lot and nearby Saranac River Trail are the City of Plattsburgh, Prime Companies/Prime Plattsburgh, the County PlanningBoard,Saratoga Associates and Plattsburgh Citizens Coalition.

Recognition dinner highlights United Way milestones United Way of the ADK Region concluded 2019-20 campaign with community impact update By Alina Walentowicz STAFF WRITER
PLATTSBURGH | The United Way of the Adirondack Region recently celebrated the conclusion of its annual campaign, recognizing notable contributions and milestones related to community service and leadership. A full crowd of business, education, legislative and non-profit professionals gathered in Butcher Block’s Adirondack Room on a recent Saturday evening. The agenda was underway with campaign recognition. Volunteers comprising the Allocation Committee, Board of Directors and Volunteer Campaign Team—all representing organizations and businesses throughout the tri-county area—were able to reach “80,000 people collectively” providing needed community resources and assistance. The night included a community impact summary from Lee Rivers, executive director at Community Connections of Franklin County, one of around 40 partner agencies working with the regional United Way to serve surrounding individuals and families. He emphasized the importance of inter-organizational collaboration when addressing the needs of a widespread North Country, saying partnerships are key.

COMMUNITY IMPACT THROUGH PROGRAMMING Regionally, poverty and mental health are priority concerns, among others; when it comes to ready-to-work individuals lacking reliable transportation, infrastructure remains a challenge, as does safe and affordable housing. United Way projects in the works include collaboration with other area entities, such as with Assemblyman Billy Jones’ office, to help ensure an accurate census count that will earn the needed
distribution of federal funds in the rural North Country. Programs like the United Way ALICE Project, which stands for “Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed”, continue to provide resources for families living within the “threshold for survival”, which is defined at a $68,808 annual income for a family of four and a $23,148 annual income for a single individual.

FUNDRAISING IMPACT
All smiles, Michael Carpenter of Northeast Group and MHAB accepted the Distinguished Citizen Award from friend and United Way ADK CEO John Bernardi. Photo by Alina Walentowicz
In 2020, the regional campaign was able to raise $650,000. This funding helps facilitate the above-mentioned programs and services throughout the three counties. Employee gifts were the most significant portion of funds raised at nearly 60 percent, with 1,966 area individuals participating to contribute $386,688. This could mean just a little under $4 donated per week per person for a year. The remaining contributions came from corporate gifts, individual/residential and State Employees Federated Appeal (SEFA).
THE MEANING OF “DISTINGUISHED” Michael Carpenter—president and CEO of Northeast Group, a third-party logistics fulfillment warehouse, and founder of MHAB Life Skills Campus, a transitional housing facility—was this year’s Dorothy and Allen Booth Distinguished Citizen Award recipient. He accepted the honor, saying, “‘Distinguished’ was not a word used to describe me for the majority of my young life.” He alluded to times in his past when he said he took more than he gave, and thanked the individuals in his life who have since stood by him and taken a chance on him. Bernardi praised and thanked Carpenter for his compassion and dedication to the community and to the United Way. ■
NATIONAL AGRICULTURE DAY
MARCH 24, 2020
NATIONAL AGRICULTURE WEEK
MARCH 22-28, 2020
E
ach year producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities government agencies and countless others come together to recognize the contributions of agriculture. The National Agriculture Week program encourages people to understand how food, fiber and renewable resource products are produced, to value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy, and to appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products. Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use and wear on a daily basis. But too few people truly understand this contribution. WHAT IS AG DAY? It’s a day to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by agriculture. Every year, producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies and countless others across America join together to recognize the contributions of agriculture.
Why Celebrate Ag Day? Here are just some of the key reasons why it’s important to recognize and celebrate - Ag Day each year: Increased knowledge of agriculture and nutrition allows individuals to make informed personal choices about diet and health. Informed citizens will be able to participate in establishing the policies that will support a competitive agricultural industry in this country and abroad. Beginning in kindergarten and continuing through 12th grade, all students should receive some

systematic instruction about agriculture. Agriculture is too important a topic to be taught only to the small percentage of students considering careers in agriculture and pursuing vocational agricultural studies. Agricultural literacy includes an understanding of agriculture’s history and current economic, social and environmental significance to all Americans. This understanding includes some knowledge of food and fiber production, processing and domestic and international marketing.
“WE CARE for Your Land and Animals”
WHO HOSTS AG DAY? The Agriculture Council of America hosts the campaign on a national level. However, the awareness efforts in communities across America are as influential - if not more - than the broadscale effort. Again this year, the Ag Day Planning Guide has been created to help communities and organizations more effectively host Ag Day events. Ag Day is about recognizing - and celebrating - the contribution of agriculture in our everyday lives. The National Ag Day program encourages every American to: • Understand how food and fiber products are produced. • Value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy. • Appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products. WHY CELEBRATE AGRICULTURE? Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use and wear on a daily basis. But too few people truly understand this contribution. This is particularly the case in our schools, where students may only be exposed to agriculture if they enroll in related vocational training. By building awareness, the Agriculture Council of America is encouraging young people to consider career opportunities in agriculture. Each American farmer feeds more than 144 people ... a dramatic increase from 25 people in the 1960s. Quite simply, American agriculture is doing more - and doing it better. As the world population soars, there is an even greater demand for the food and fiber produced in the United States.

Committee to draft rental property policies Council-appointed team brainstorms on housing improvements By Alina Walentowicz STAFF WRITER
PLATTSBURGH | With recent discussions of visitor-dense short-term housing impacting affordable living options in Lake Placid, student-centric rental housing in the City of Plattsburgh remains a topic of discussion.
Including area college students, about 62 percent of city dwellers are known to rent their homes. With an impending 114-unit apartment complex slated for construction at the centrally-located downtown Durkee Street parking lot this year, at an estimated baseline cost of $1,200 per unit, some residents and stakeholders wonder what will become of existing commercial housing structures around the city—particularly ones that may contain an unknown number of renters.

were appointed in early February by Mayor Colin Read (D), Ward 1 Councilor Ira Barbell (D) and Ward 4 Councilor Paul DeDominicas (D), who sit on the city’s Governance, Strategy & City Operations Committee. The new temporar y landlord/tenant committee will address public concerns voiced in December after the council passed Local Law P-6 relating to the “ownership, regulation and residence within commercial rental properties”. This law adds a “Rental Permit” section to the “Building Code Administration and Enforcement” chapter of the city code. These changes will result in the creation of a rental registry, requiring landlords to purchase a permit in order to rent out certain types of commercial properties within the city, highlighting specifications for managing exact numbers of related or unrelated cohabiting individuals. Monitoring this would involve inspections by a city code-enforcement officer. Ward 2 Councilor Mike Kelly (D), representing one of two councilors appointed to the committee, remarked during the recent meeting that “the biggest industry in Plattsburgh is rental properties.” This selected team will attempt to segment melded living-related concerns and technicalities regarding

Officials offer remarks on new MTA transit-bus contract By Alina Walentowicz STAFF WRITER
PLATTSBURGH | Emphasizing the significance of a strong, cross-border economic partnership, area leaders provided input on recent contract developments at a press conference hosted by Nova Bus. Sen. Betty Little (R) and Assemblyman Billy Jones (D), along with North Country Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Garry Douglas and Quebec Govt. Office of New York Director of Economic Affairs Sebastien Lanthier, commented on what a recent potential 500-bus contract means for New York’s North Country.
From CELL COVERAGE » pg. 1
Assemblyman Billy Jones (D) added that 40-to-50 percent of concerns directed toward his offices relate to cell and Internet coverage. Chiming in, Assemblyman Dan Stec (R, C, I) listed cell coverage and broadband among infrastructure basics like water, waste-water, roads and bridges, saying, “We have [in my district] kids that have to go to the public library to access the Internet, or kids whose parents have to take them on a cold winter night to the parking lot of town hall so they can have a WiFi signal.
RECENT “TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT CLUSTER” UPDATES
This Nova Bus contract announcement comes just weeks after the news that fellow leading North Country How is that student competing with kids from Westchester, or Suffolk or Long Island to get into the colleges that they want to, to pursue their dreams?”
“CONNECTIVITY” A THEME, A REGIONAL NECESSITY
“We’ve got to cover the gaps, and it’s all about our health, safety and our economy,” Little said. “No young person is going to move up here without cell coverage and Internet service.” In spite of this challenge, business confidence in the North Country remains
employer and transportation manufacturer Bombardier confirmed the intended sale of its rail transit division to French global railway company Alstom. With multiple transportation manufacturers in the area, Douglas has said Plattsburgh is positioned at the forefront of the next generation of public transit, and acknowledged Gov. Cuomo’s support in these efforts, saying the area’s transportation equipment cluster has grown with the commitment of big-player companies. Douglas said he expects that the continued trust and confidence signified by this new Nova Bus contract agreement in the U.S. with MTA will bolster the manufacturer to capture market shares from other national producers, further establishing its place in American markets. “Every official we bring to the plant leaves impressed and supportive, and with Nova’s readiness to produce electric buses here in the future as the national market evolves, we can expect a long-term partnership,” he said in a press release distributed by Nova Bus. ■ high, reported at 96 percent in 2020 and 2019, according to the chamber’s survey of participating area businesses. At the event, General Manager Greg Cody of Nova Bus, a breakfast sponsor, previewed the sustainable transit-bus manufacturer’s press announcement for later that day—a new contract reached with Metro Transit Authority (MTA) leading to the production of up to 500 public-transit buses in Plattsburgh. Other sponsors for this year’s breakfast included the growing University of Vermont Health Network (UVM) and telecommunications conglomerate AT&T. ■

Little spoke of Plattsburgh as an economic business center and highlighted New York’s well-educated workforce, saying that Nova Bus produces a globally competitive product. Alluding to his participation in legislative conversations downstate, Jones shared his interest in speaking up during discussions surrounding MTA funding and its related potential for upstate job creation. Douglas discussed the transit-bus manufacturers’ growth in the U.S. market since opening its Plattsburgh facility about a decade ago. Following Douglas, Lanthier noted that Quebec companies such as Nova Bus are household names in the North Country, where transportation “super clusters” exist.

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,

Through a new memorandum agreement signed by the Plattsburgh Professional Firefighters Association Local 2421 and the city of Plattsburgh, Mayor Read said the city is able to increase fire response times and address staffing challenges faced by the local fire department. Evaluated and approved by the city’s common council, the memorandum between the above-mentioned entities “extends the collective bargaining agreement for a two

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.

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 ■

This was a 17 percent staffing increase, according to Read, who said the revenue generated from the second ambulance will offset the cost of these public safety improvements. “It’s nice to have a collaborative labor management coalition going on right now,” Lawliss said. “This was something that we had been working on for several years and we were just able to get it done through President Schwartz and his negotiating team working very hard to get this and work with
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. You should feel much better in only a few days. —David Safrany, California ■

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 ■

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 ■
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 ■

Nancy Ann Douglas 1936 - 2019 PLAT TSBURGH | Nancy Ann Douglas, 83, died suddenly September 5, 2019, at Meadowbrook Healthcare. She left amazing memories with family and friends, who will remember her forever. Nancy spent much of her life helping, teaching and enjoying children. Beginning in her late teens, she spent many summers at the family cottage in the Adirondacks enjoying her nieces and nephews. Those seven children, now with their own children and grandchildren, enjoyed Nancy’s humor, energy and creativity—qualities they have passed on for future generations. Nancy was born on February 17, 1936, in Niagara Falls, New York, to Leon Arthur Douglas (“Pum”) of Buffalo, New York, and Amy Cecil Howse, of Humberstone, Ontario, Canada. Both Leon and Amy were descendants of American Loyalists, and as such they and all their descendants in perpetuity carry the British Royal Title of “U.E.,” for Unity of Empire. The family sometimes laughs that the title “isn’t worth anything, but we have it anyway.” Nancy was the youngest of five children, born after Thelma, Dick, Katie and Dorothy. As a young teen she went on her fi rst canoe trip, through the Fulton Chain of Lakes in the Adirondacks. She fell in love with the woods, and was overjoyed when her father purchased a cottage there, still owned by her nieces and nephews. Nancy graduated from Niagara Falls High School in 1954, and Erie County Technical Institute in 1956. She began teaching dental hygiene to the schoolchildren of Malone, New York. She attended the State Universities of New York in Potsdam and Plattsburgh before earning her bachelor degree of science in education at SUNY Cortland in 1966. Still teaching dental health in Malone, in 1968 Nancy was elected President of the New York State Dental Hygiene Teachers Association. In 1973, Nancy took her skills with children in a new direction, and began a long career teaching in Malone at both St. Joseph’s and Flanders Elementary Schools. As her father worked for the New York Central Railroad for more than 44 years, the Douglas family frequently rode trains for free. Nancy developed a lifelong love of travel and of trains. Nancy was an active member of the Adirondack Railway Preservation Society, helping to preserve the New York Central System’s old rail line through the Adirondacks.

lodged during his arraignment in Plattsburgh City Court March 9. Police said the pending charges against Houghtaling included felony counts of first-degree assault, second-degree assault, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and aggravated criminal contempt. The Plattsburgh man is also facing charges of seconddegree menacing, third-degree
assault and fourth-degree criminal mischief in connection with the violent 6:45 a.m. melee. While the investigation is continuing, authorities believe the violent confrontation stemmed from a domestic dispute involving several victims. Additional charges are expected. Police said the victim has since been released from the hospital and continues to recover. ■
suncommunitynews.com/public-notices/obituaries She worked for both the Adirondack Railway of 1980 and the current Adirondack Scenic Railroad. The railroad’s gift shop in Thendara, New York, was occupied (some would say “owned”) by a large orange cat named Sam. Visitors were enchanted by Sam’s dignified personality, and in 1994 Nancy wrote and published “Sam: The Adirondack Railroad Cat,” a much-loved children’s book still available from North Country Books of Utica. Nancy was also known for her “Adirondack Cryptoquotes,” popular word puzzles published in various newspapers for decades. Each puzzle was a scrambled sentence taken from writings about the Adirondacks. Nancy produced hundreds of puzzles under titles such as “Cryptograms,” “Cryptotales,” “Cryptosolves,” and “Cryptofun.” They still appear weekly in the Adirondack Daily Enterprise of Saranac Lake, and will continue to do so as long as there is demand. While doing research for “Cryptoquotes,” Nancy discovered “Adirondack Vistas,” an obscure 1967 book. It described the history of the abandoned New York Central Adirondack line, and Nancy contacted the author and publisher, Ed Gardner. He provided more copies, and Nancy worked hard to get it in bookstores. A second edition was published in 1997. Nancy and Ed became friends, and they worked together to create a third edition, adding information about Ed’s fascinating railroad career. It was published in 2015 by Write One Plus of Chateaugay, New York. Nancy had a close friendship with the Springsteen family at an Adirondack camp nearby. When Russell Springsteen became permanently hospitalized, she drove from Malone to visit him in Yonkers. She made that six-hour trip for many years. Nancy loved to swim, climb mountains, canoe and water ski (she and her sisters wore out the family’s first motorboat). In the winters she skied all over the northeastern U.S. and the Laurentian Mountains of Canada, and skied as far westward as Alberta. In the late 1970s Nancy and her friend Marty Miles tied a canoe to the pontoon of a floatplane and flew into Lake Lila, the only way to get there in those days. They spent a delightful week camping alone in the wilderness. A few years later Nancy took up canoe racing with various partners. In her first race she came in next to last, but took third place in the next one. Many races followed; in 1985 Nancy and Marty made fourth in an 11-mile bicycle, jog and canoe triathlon at Long Lake. In 1989 she and Natalie Streb took first in the Old Forge to Saranac Lake Adirondack Canoe Classic. In 1986, Nancy took part in a 235-mile, sevencanoe journey from Lachine, Quebec, to Albany, in conjunction with Albany’s Tricentennial. Somehow over the years Nancy also found time to take a windjammer cruise to the Virgin Islands, ride a raft down the Colorado River, tour National Parks such as Yosemite, learn scuba diving, and take up Chinese cooking. Nancy was also known for her frequent and generous donations to charities, including the
Adirondack Railway Preservation Society, First Presbyterian Church of Plattsburgh, Feeding America, the ASPCA, Friends of the Earth, Oxfam, the Franklin County Historical Society, and many others too numerous to mention. Nancy was the last survivor of the Douglas family of Niagara Falls. She is survived by the seven nieces and nephews she helped raise in the Adirondacks: Michael Trout and wife, Luann, of Selkirk, New York; Carrie Sloan and husband, Jeff, of Claremore, Oklahoma; Philip Trout of Mannford, Oklahoma; Allison Kennedy of Moreno Valley, California; David Hagen of Valley Center, California; Heidi Mozingo of Lee’s Summit, Missouri; and Rick Hagen and wife, Monica, of El Cajon, California. Services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 21, at the First Presbyterian Church at 34 Brinkerhoff Street, Plattsburgh, 12901. Contributions in Nancy’s memory may be made to any of the charities listed above. To share a memory or condolence with the family, please visit rwwalkerfh.com. Arrangements have been entrusted to the R.W. Walker Funeral Home, 69 Court Street, Plattsburgh, New York. ■
Ronald V. LaPointe 1939 - 2020 CHAZY | Ronald V. LaPointe, 81, of the Ratta Road, passed away Saturday, March 7, 2020, at his home. He was born in Chazy on January 8, 1939, the son of David D. and Irene (Poissant) LaPointe. Ronald was a lineman for the NY Telephone Company for 36 years, retiring in June of 1994.

Peter “Dutch” Vanderwarker 2020 PINEHURST, NORTH CAROLINA | “Dutch” to his family and friends, Peter Vanderwarker was welcomed by our Lord Jesus in peace Thursday, March 5, 2020, 9:45 a.m., at the age of 79, in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Preceded in death by his father, Robert; mother, Beatrice; dear stepmother, Margaret; and daughter Lynn. Survived by dear wife, Peg; brother Robert of Harrisonburg, Virginia; and sister Pam of Ticonderoga, New York. He leaves behind his children: sons Brad (Carolyn) and Bruce (Andrea) of Chesapeake, Virginia; and daughter Beth (Alan) of Roanoke, Virginia; and loving stepchildren Scott, Kurt and Bonnie. He is a proud grandfather of Taylor, Josh, Chris, Sophia, Jordan, Macy, Kenyon, Ella and Liam, all the lights and joys of his life. Pete will be remembered as a loving husband and father, an outdoorsman and golf pro, passing on the timeless gift s of doing-it-right-in-the-fight, never giving up, enjoying the ride, and counting a man’s word as honor.

By explaining the symptoms prior to arrival, providers can take necessary steps to keep other people from getting infected or exposed if and when the illness comes to the northern region. “We understand that it might seem scary and you want to get tested. But in reality, getting tested will not change how you get treated,” CVPH Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Keith Collins said in a news release. “By staying home and managing your
symptoms, you can help limit the risk of spreading the virus or being exposed to it yourself if you don’t actually have it.” In light of the situation and possible threat of COVID-19 and influenza, CVPH’s Skilled Nursing Facility has asked anyone with a fever, shortness of breath, cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, and/ or diarrhea to refrain from visiting. The H.K. Freedman Renal Center is restricting visitors in the treatment area only, officials said.
The BG/NC Sun | March 14, 2020 • 11
As sanitizing products fly off Plattsburgh shelves in mass, hospital officials are reminding residents that while concerning, majority of people who get the virus will only be mildly ill and will not need medical attention of hospitalization. But, Collins said, “It is never too early to be ready. We are doing everything we can to provide the best care possible for our patients, keep our employees safe and prevent the spread of the disease throughout the community.”
CVPH is continuing to work with county and state officials to prepare itself for the virus’ potential arrival. Other care facilities in the area, such as Meadowbrook Healthcare in Plattsburgh, have also adopted new visitation guidelines to help curb the virus’ potential spread. Local residents are being advised to call ahead and ask about current visitation policies before going to any extended-or short-term care facilities in the coming weeks. ■
Gov. Cuomo waives cost of coronavirus testing in NYS Emergency disaster declaration supports public health response
HOTLINE/ONLINE RESOURCES
By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER
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. “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
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 ■
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 first case in the Capital Region.
ALLAY COST CONCERNS
Executive and public health leaders believe free and nocopay 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 COVID-19 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.
“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 tele-health options for advice and treatment online 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 almost-daily 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.)

DEFENSE LEADS BOBCATS TO CLASS C GIRLS CROWN By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | The Northern Adirondack girls varsity basketball team did not allow a double-digit quarter against the Moriah Vikings in the Section VII/Class C title game Friday, scoring a 39-26 win for the championship. The Bobcats used a 15-8 second quarter for a 25-14 lead into the half. They then shutout the Vikings over the final six minutes of play to earn the win. “We put more pressure on defensively because we knew they were bigger than us and we needed to be more aggressive,” said Anna Brown. “We adjusted to make sure they were not able to get second chance points off of offensive rebounds.” “We worked as hard as we could,” said Alexis Belrose. “We came in a little bit nervous but the coaches told us to keep our heads high and that is what we did. We were able to pick up our defense while slowing down our offense and getting
into a good tempo.” Kira LaBarge added defense was key in the fourth. “The ending was not pretty, but we worked hard in the third quarter and got it done,” she said. “We were able to push on defense and I am very happy we were able to get it done tonight.” “Our defense is what helped us win because we were able to box out and rebound, and that allowed us to get the ball up the court on offense,” said Brynne Gilmore. “We were really good on the boards and wanted to make sure we did not let down,” added Isabella Gilmore. Belrose finished with 11 points in the game, while Isabella Gilmore scored eight, Brynne Gilmore six, Mackenna LaBarge six, Kira LaBarge four and Brown four. ■ Brynne Gilmore of NAC shoots over Moriah’s Noel Williams as Mackenna LaBarge sets a screen in the Section VII/Class C championship game.

PLATTSBURGH | Double-digit scoring runs of 12-0 and 10-0 in the second quarter and an 11-0 run in the fourth propelled top seed Saranac to a 67-43 win over Beekmantown in the Section VII/Class B title game March 7. The first Chiefs run started in near the end of the first quarter, where they scored eight of a 12-point unanswered run that last into the second to build a 21-7 lead before a 10-0 run at the end of the half gave Saranac a 35-13 lead. The Chiefs then shut the door on the Eagles with a fourth quarter 11-0 run. Connor Recore led the Chiefs with 16 points, seven rebounds and six steals; with Jared Duquette scoring 14 first half points with seven rebounds before sitting out the second half with an injury. “We can do this any night,” said Recore of the team’s balance. “Jared got it going early and Jack got out of his slump, so we are getting on a roll now.” “At the top of the press I was trying to go for steals and be aggressive — I was gambling a little more than usual,” said Duquette. Jack Mather finished with 13 points and five rebounds, while Brady Hebert had nine points, three assists and four steals. “It felt good to get my confidence back, to be making shots and contributing to this team was an awesome feeling,” said Mather. “We took advantage of the mis-matches early and that is what gave us the lead,” said Hebert. Cogan Johnston added six points and is rebounds, while Conner Burns came off the bench for six points and three steals. “I try to bring energy off the bench and try to keep the momentum going in our favor,” said Burns. “Coming into the game we knew we had to work on rebounds and not give them second chance points, and that is what would put

them away,” said Johnston, Keegan Brown scored two points for the Chiefs, with Nick Liberty adding one. For the Eagles, Cole Nephew had 14 points and four boards, while Parker Kelly combined 13 points and eight rebounds, Ian-James McCasland six points and eight boards, Nate Finley four points, Andrew Sorrell three points and Andrew VanNatten three points. John LaPorte added a pair of rebounds.

PLATTSBURGH | Kya McComb and Abby Racine had their share of big shots in Northeastern Clinton’s 47-36 win over Saranac in the Section VII/Class B title game Friday. But key shots from Bryn Sample, Marlie Sample and Ellie Prairie were at the heart of the Cougars’ third straight sectional crown. The Cougars made an 8-0 run to start the fourth quarter with three-pointers by McComb (19 points) and Racine (12), while Prairie, who came in for Brinley LaFountain after she fouled out, scored a pair of free throws to keep the run going while adding a steal, blocked shot and assist to Racine on her three. “I have been playing nervous the entire season and I knew I had to step it up for this game on every level,” said Prairie, who also had the winning goal in the Cougars’ sectional soccer championship win. “We have a lot of good chemistry and we build each other up and get excited for each other. I was really proud of Ellie and we really needed her to step up,” said LaFountain, who has seen an increase in minutes since Audi Hollister went out with an injury. “It has been more pressure but it has helped me out because I have become stronger from it,” she said. McComb scored 12 of her 19 in the second half, including a three pointer to give the Cougars a lead. “We started the half down and I just thought if we could get that one bucket to get a lead then the momentum would change,” said McComb. Racine then hit for nine of her 12 in the fourth quarter, including a pair of three-pointers. “I saw we were up at that point and it is a do or die situation and this is the quarter to clinch the win,” she said, “I was not making my shots
before so it felt good to see them go in finally.” Bryn Sample added nine points. “Coach told us what we had to do and I knew when I went out I had to put all the effort I had into getting this win,” she said, Marlie Sample also contributed with five. “It is a big accomplishment to have a three-peat,” she said. “We do this for our community and our families, and to know we have that support just makes this better.” For the Chiefs, Payton Couture had 16 points, while Kayla Myers connected on a trio of three-pointers in the first half for nine, Sydney Myers eight and Raegan Mulverhill three. The Cougars will play host for the Class B regional finals Friday, March 13, 5 p.m. at Beekmantown High School against the winner of the Section II/X semifinal. ■

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). For the game, SLP outshot Saranac, 60-17, as Erick Frechette made 55 saves for the Chiefs, as SLP again held their opponents under 20 shots in a game. ■

From CORONAVIRUS » pg. 11
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 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 Network hospitals (including the 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. ■

From CHURCH REPAIRS » pg. 1
The historic landmark building at the intersection of Pleasant, Elm and Main streets is a focal point of the small community with its adjacent Fellowship Center serving as a gathering place for various organizations and meetings, including 4-H groups, Boy Scouts and the Peru Nursery School. The original main gray stone building was constructed in 1833, earning it recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Its early-19th century Gothic Revival architecture has been highly preserved through history, but the aging infrastructure now needs some structural repairs, as well as ADAcompliant improvements to its main entrance. “There are a few areas that have particular problems,” Peru Community Church Board of Trustees Chair Brian Guest recently told Sun Community News. “The main thing is the steeple. It’s currently leaking into the back of the sanctuary.” During heavy storms, parishioners have draped plastic to catch rainwater in pails to help combat the leaks, but say the aging five-spire steeple and cracked mortar exterior now need permanent repair. Church officials are also planning to add a
vapor barrier and insulation to the sanctuary floor to improve the current heating system and its efficiency. The church’s steep and inclined walkway will also be reconfigured to help improve safety and accessibility for elderly and handicap patrons. “But obviously we need to have the money in hand,” Guest said of the estimated $60,000 cost to cover the anticipated repairs. Church officials have secured grant funding from the New York Landmark Conservancy’s Sacred Sites program and a matching grant from the Cloudsplitter Foundation of Saranac Lake, which, combined with pledges from parishioners, will cover roughly 65 percent of the renovation cost. The church community has recently launched a fundraising campaign to help cover the rest and hope to have funding in place by early summer to begin renovations. “It’s all needed repairs, and we’ll be able to use this building more than we’re able to now once they’re done,” Guest said. Those interested in contributing to the renovations can send donations by check to Peru Community Church, P.O. Box 38, 13 Elm S., Peru, New York 12972. Check donors are asked to please write “capital campaign” in the memo line. ■
