Hundreds march in Plattsburgh Locals turn out for “March for Our Lives” By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Over 150 people marched in Plattsburgh last Saturday to show their support for victims of the recent mass-shooting in Parkland, Florida and call for stricter gun control measures. The event, which saw protesters march from SUNY Plattsburgh to Trinity Park, was a local installment of the March for Our Lives, a nationwide rally against gun violence led by students who survived the recent shooting at a Florida high school. Ian Campbell, a 16-year-old Plattsburgh High School student, said that the march was a way to show their perspective and ensure that a mass shooting doesn’t happen again. “The reality is that this can happen anywhere,” he said. “We’re in school every day. All day. We have to feel safe there. That has to be a priority.” By Campbell’s side, Malcolm Suarez, 14, nodded his head. » March Cont. on pg. 10

ELLENBURG | As the dairy industry continues to be mired in crisis, local students are offering a lifeline to area farmers. With help from the Future Farmers of America Alumni of Northern Adirondack Central School District, students are compiling food baskets in time for Easter Sunday. Students have compiled enough items for 50 baskets so far, and will begin packing them on Wednesday. The group will fan out on Thursday to make the drops, including locations in Chazy Lake, Churubusco, Altona, Ellenburg and Standish.

Nationwide, the dairy industry is in a sustained downswing owing to an increased interest in milk alternatives paired with strong production. But low milk prices have been magnified in New York, the third largest milk-producing state, where dairy sales constitute about half of total farm sales annually. “We have around 45 dairy farmers in our school district,” said Karen LaBombard, an agricultural teacher at Northern Adirondack who is aiding in the effort. “It hits home to a lot of these kids.” The price per hundredweight reached as high as $25 in 2014, but the price has plummeted to nearly half that. “Prices are around $14 per hundredweight, and projected to fall lower than that,” Gilmore said. “A lot of times, farmers are having a hard time to feed their families because there’s no money.” The baskets, which have been made possible through community donations, contain enough items to round out an Easter dinner, including hams, potatoes, rolls, vegetables and other goods. » Dairy farmers Cont. on pg. 3
