County transit poised to kickstart deviation service

‘SLOW ART DAY’ RETURNS TO CHAMPLAIN

Rider education, training sessions available ahead of trial paratransit change

Two exhibits to be showcased Saturday

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

CHAMPLAIN | A group of Champlain art lovers are encouraging visitors to stop and smell the roses.

As part of International Slow Art Day, a worldwide event that aims to encourage gallery dwellers to take their time when perusing the walls — 5-10 minutes, to be exact — two exhibits will open in the Village of Champlain this Saturday.

At the Samuel de Champlain History Center, the photographs of former Plattsburgh City Court Judge Penny Clute will kick off the event at 1 p.m.

Clute made waves in the local art community after returning from a trip to Cuba in 2015, a collection of street photography in tow. » Slow Art Day Cont. on pg. 9

PLATTSBURGH | A trial period for the new Clinton County Public Transit (CCPT) deviation service will begin on May 1, and rider education sessions are planned ahead of the changeover from paratransit.

The information sessions are planned for April 14 at 1:30 p.m. and April 18 at 9:30 a.m.

CCPT Planning Technician James Bosley will be on-hand at the Clinton County

Government Center to answer questions about the service changes and guide riders through the process.

The new on-demand deviation service will reroute buses from their normal routes to pick up riders within three quarters of a mile from bus stops rather than utilizing a separate bus with curb-to-curb service to serve riders with disabilities through the existing paratransit system.

“We think this new design will work well,” said Bosley.

Stefanik caps two-day tour with Moriah forum Lawmaker answers constituent questions in Essex County

exchanges and barely a raised voice at Rep. Elise Stefanik’s forum in Moriah on Friday.

Instead, the lawmaker’s second town hall in as many days unfolded at a relaxed pace to about 65 attendees at the Moriah Volunteer Fire Department, where the color scheme was more camouflage and flannel than the pink woolen hats donned by progressive activists.

“I’m not angry,” said Bernard Beebe, a Ticonderoga farmer. “America is a great country. If this was Venezuela, this wouldn’t be happening.”

The event was the polar opposite of a forum at the Moreau Community Center last Thursday in which a raucous crowd pressed Stefanik in an event that often threatened to go off the rails.

Where lines stretched down the block in South Glens Falls an hour ahead of showtime, not a single person showed up until 45 minutes before the lawmaker took at the stage on Friday, leaving the coffee as part of the lawmaker’s “Coffee With Your Congresswoman” series largely untouched.

Peter, who identified himself as a Lake Placid-area school teacher, said he was concerned that Valeant Pharm had engaged in prescription drug price gouging.

He asked Stefanik what she was doing to combat rising health care costs.

His premiums increased 8 percent in January and are scheduled to rise 14 percent next year.

“I think pharmaceutical companies that prey on the American public have a lot to do with that, the rising costs,” Peter said.

Stefanik told constituents in South Glens Falls that drug prices needed to be addressed, but disagreed with portions of a bill that would allow manufacturers to negotiate with Medicare.

Increasing taxes on drug manufacturers would likely harm innovation, she said.

Peter agreed, citing the lawmaker’s lengthy exchange with Sara Carpenter, a Queensbury resident who repeatedly sought answers from Stefanik on Thursday.

“That makes a lot of sense,” he said.

Stefanik highlighted her support of the 21st Century Cures Act, which boosted funds to the Food and Drug Administration to speed up bringing drugs and devices to market.

Stefanik took questions at a fi rehouse tucked deep into the mountains, located about an hour south of Plattsburgh and 67 miles north of Glens Falls.

Attendees pointed at the region’s moribund economy, crumbling infrastructure and general lack of services.

“We are desperately in need of help for water lines, sewer lines,” said Town of Moriah Councilman Tom Anderson.

“There are still a lot of areas without high speed internet.

What can you do to help us?”

Funding may be possible through the Northern Border Regional Commission, the source of a $500,000 grant for the Town of Plattsburgh last year, said Stefanik.

And she held out hope that a federal infrastructure plan from the White House may still be possible.

“We have a president that is focused on infrastructure and likes to build things,” said Stefanik.

Sam Gangi painted a portrait of grim desperation.

“My taxes are killing me, the price of gas is killing me and the price of home heating oil is killing me,” Gangi said.

“My working days are over and I’m on a fi xed income. I feel that the government has forgotten the hardworking people.”

Crystal Boyle Stoddard asked the lawmaker if she’d ever driven through Moriah.

“There’s no jobs, there’s no money, there’s no businesses,” Stoddard said.

Stefanik acknowledged revitalizing the economy continues to present a challenge, and there is no magic bullet.

“We need to move faster,” she said. “In terms of an easy answer now, I don’t have one.”

The lawmaker called for a multi-faceted approach, including studying how to incentivize companies to invest in communities along the Adirondack Northway and on Lake Champlain, which she said may help attract young people.

Stefanik, a resident of the lakeside community of Willsboro, also pointed at Glens Falls’ publicprivate partnership as a model to emulate, and the efforts of the North Country Chamber of

Commerce to leverage its proximity to Canada.

“We ought to be looking at that model for Essex County as well,” she said.

GRIDLOCK PROBLEMATIC

Stefanik fielded questions on gun control, tariffs, the president’s erratic behavior, environmental safeguards, broadband, border security and efforts to combat Russian election meddling.

In her responses, the lawmaker largely presented a bold defense of bipartisanship as necessary to craft policy in an increasingly polarized climate, returning again and again to the need for compromise.

Stefanik said the recent omnibus spending bill was imperfect.

But legislation requires 60 votes to pass the Senate.

“It has to be significantly bipartisan,” Stefanik said. “It was not perfect. I thought it was more important to compromise and fund programs for the district.”

Before the event, she told reporters any healthcare fi xes needed to be bipartisan.

“We learned that with the Affordable Care Act, and we’ve learned that with the failure of

a leader with a great record for bipartisanship. She’s a genuine leader. For a Republican, she’s really on the cutting edge.”

John McDonald of Ticonderoga said it’s not often the lawmaker comes to central Essex County.

“She does a wonderful job covering the district,” McDonald said. “She’s very caring to the problems. She’s helped a lot of people with Social Security, she’s helped a lot of folks, and is very much aware of Fort Drum’s importance to the district. She reaches out.”

Stec also gave the lawmaker high marks.

“Healing the Hearts of Our Children” is a fresh illustrated video series developed by author and teacher Mark Sandford to assist parents with healing children’s hearts - at any age.

“The message of the series is: “It’s not too late.”

From tips for new parents in healthy training of children, to repairing the spiritual injuries of adult children, the lessons shift the focus from who to blame for what has gone wrong, to how to restore honor and Godly interactions in family relationships. Beyond that, keys to getting parts of life “unstuck” are given so that individuals can be freed to fully occupy their Godly design, purpose, and destiny.

Tim Palmer of Plattsburgh said he was satisfied with the lawmaker’s comments on environmental issues, including acknowledging the need to start examining climate change from a national security perspective.

Sandra Weber questioned the benefits of the tax bill to ordinary Americans, and said the lawmaker should be more forceful in denouncing Trump.

“It’s what I predicted,” Weber said after the event. “She shows concern, and says she’s working on it. She did not answer questions and didn’t offer any specifics on how she’s going to address what was asked.”

Michelle Zelkowitz said she objected to the lawmaker’s statements that political donations, including those from the NRA and new National Security Advisor John Bolton’s political action committee, do not influence her policymaking.

“I disagree with her statement that those contributions don’t influence her opinions,” Zelkowitz said.

Stoddard says the lawmaker did not answer her question.

“She did not give me a yes or no if she drove around through the Town of Moriah.”

The Elizabethtown resident was also disappointed that the lawmaker wasn’t a more strong supporter of gun control, referring to the lawmaker’s strong pro-Second Amendment stance. ■ — This article is abridged.

the House and Senate to address the replacement of Obamacare,” she said.

Stefanik also called for Washington to rein in spending — a chief reason she voted against the tax bill alongside the elimination of the state and local tax deduction — and to fi x the appropriations and budget process.

“A balanced budget amendment will be seen in the next couple of months in the House,” said Stefanik, who said she supports a two-year budget schedule instead of annual appropriations battles.

Gillilland said the crowd was more representative of the district overall than in Glens Falls.

Retirees will From the Editorial Board soon outnumber kids Stefanik hits home run with town halls The U. S. Census Bureau announced a milestone that we should all take note of recently.

By Dan Alexander In 2030, a mere 12 • PUBLISHER • years from now, senior citizens will for the first time outnumber the children in this country.

While one in five Americans will have surpassed the traditional retirement age of 65 in 2030, by 2035 more than 2 million seniors ages 65 and over will outnumber those under 18 years of age.

The consequences of these upcoming dates are significant, from the solvency of Social Security to the ever-rising costs of health care for an aging population.

Compound those concerns with the swelling ranks from public services, such as law enforcement personnel, teachers and bureaucrats, and the strain on state and local government retirement systems will have an estimated shortfall of $1.6 trillion than what is needed to cover the promised benefits.

The shortfall is the result of investment losses, overly aggressive investment forecasts, inadequate contributions and overly generous perks granted in good times. Governments will need to pay more into the funds to make up that gap, putting a squeeze on their budgets that could imperil their bond ratings and diminish services for residents.

Locally, we already see these effects, and the reality is we will continue to see even more in the future.

The golden years for many don’t look quite so golden, and the 65-yearold retirement age may simply be an outdated custom in a few short years as the numbers don’t lie.

Unlike previous generations, today’s seniors have been encouraged to save through federally supported, employer contribution programs like 401K, Individual Retirement Accounts and other tax-deferred plans to promote savings beyond Social Security.

Deficits and over bloated continuing resolutions will only serve to make matters worse, meaning there is no time like the present to seek solutions to begin addressing the issue and preparing the population for what’s coming in the not-too-distant future.

Thankfully, seniors tend to be healthier and more active than previous generations. Boomers were never ones to long for their rocking chairs. Instead, they have enjoyed more recreation and active lifestyles than previous generations.

So while it may be disappointing to hear that retirement may need to be put on hold for some of us, it may be just what we need to keep us in the game of life a whole lot longer. ■

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) hosted two town halls last week.

The events come after mounting pressure from the public, the scrum of candidates jockeying for her job in this year’s midterm elections and newspaper editorial boards across New York’s 21st Congressional District.

The lawmaker’s session in Souths Glens Falls was contentious, and the other, in Moriah, Essex County, was far more sedate.

Stefanik knocked both events out of the park, proving to be a deft debater, a good listener and skilled in parrying attacks and engaging in verbal combat when necessary.

And she never lost her cool.

At times, Stefanik even appeared to enjoy sparring with constituents — including some of the more vocal activists who turned the South Glens Falls event into a borderline madhouse with their raucous behavior.

The lawmaker also offered the clearest outline yet of her political philosophy, offering enough red meat for rock-ribbed conservatives — Stefanik stands steadfast with the National Rifle Association and maintains a hawkish foreign policy paired with fiscal restraint — while also stressing the need for bipartisanship to pass any type of meaningful legislation in this era of hyperpartisanship and gridlock.

The lawmaker’s brand of politics also includes a heavy emphasis on the local issues required to maintain her broad coalition across the North Country, including the paramount need for environmental safeguards in the Adirondack Park, a strong relationship with Canada and a laser-like focus on economic development.

We’re pleased the lawmaker finally decided to host the events.

And yes, they were town halls despite the demands from activists that the sophomore lawmaker should host “real town halls” and the rep’s office, who branded them as “Coffee With Your Congresswoman” sessions.

The lawmaker should do more of them.

The political climate hasn’t been this treacherous in a generation, and constituents just want to hear from their elected officials, be they state, local or federal lawmakers.

No amount of social media or teleconference calls is a substitute for that personal interaction — even if constituents just want to vent their spleen.

Stefanik is seeking a third term this year, and faces a gaggle of challengers, including seven Democrats.

The pair of events handed the lawmaker a huge political victory.

A chief complaint by her critics is that she

‘Hundreds’ did not attend Plattsburgh rally

To the Editor: (In response to “Hundreds march in Plattsburgh,” The Burgh Sun, April 7 edition.)

Reporting the news doesn’t mean embellishing the news. The fact is, only an unofficial count of 150 people marched in Plattsburgh last Saturday. “Hundreds” is more than 200; The Sun is stretching the truth.

Although the march is well-intentioned, it and the media promotes the illusion that there are too many firearms, not enough restrictions and that violence only occurs because guns exist.

The tragedy in Florida was the fault of the shooter and the authorities. The school, police and the FBI were warned over 30 times that an attack was coming and they ignored it.

New York state has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country and yet violence with illegal firearms and gangs runs rampant. The Chicago Tribune reports 400 homicides from gunshots, stabbings and strangulation in the city so far this year, yet they have the tightest gun laws in the country.

Do the schools and colleges in Plattsburgh have the necessary plan and personnel to stop a shooter, bomber or stabber? Do the police departments have any strategy? Does the state have anything other than talking points to entice the media?

The facts are, whether the weapon is a bomb, truck, gun, knife, stick or rock, no one is 100 percent safe. London, England has a higher murder rate than New York City and yet they have disarmed their citizens. So is it just guns and gun laws?

Today everyone has to be responsible for their surroundings and the safety of all. Being aware and alert we have the ability to protect ourselves and others. Teach everyone this lesson, guns or

is inaccessible and refuses to hold town halls.

But finally hosting the events kicked a leg from out under that stool, and will force her challengers to refine and create more substantiative and policy-rich arguments as they hurdle towards the June primary.

Stefanik also detailed her stance on several key issues she hasn’t exactly been keen on broadcasting, including whether political contributions influence her policymaking — “I don’t let my contributions dictate my work in Congress” — and at what point the lawmaker defines “at or near retirement,” a chief question as Capitol Hill pivots towards entitlement reform, long a dream of House Speaker Paul Ryan, a close Stefanik ally.

“We should make no changes for these programs for those who are 50 or above,” said Stefanik, referring to Medicare and Social Security.

While we chafe at some of the more belligerent activists, they should be commended for their political engagement.

Most of the folks were well mannered and came armed with specific policy prescriptions.

They clearly love their country and want to see it a better place.

We do too Let the public dialogue — and town halls — continue.

Stefanik on point with climate change positions

To the Editor: I would like to thank Sun Community News Publisher Dan Alexander for his excellent job as the moderator for the town hall that Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) held April 6 in Moriah.

I would also like to flag a particular part of her comments at the meeting.

In Moriah, Stefanik re-stated her belief that climate change is real, and reviewed the actions she is promoting to help counter it.

She addressed in particular the dangers that climate change is bringing to our national security. These come in part through weakening our military capacity, such as the rising sea waters putting dry docks and other U.S. naval facilities under water.

It’s also happening by making the world a dangerous place through increasing the number and scale of violent conflicts and wars, such as over dwindling amounts of land and water.

This includes conflicts that the U.S. may get drawn into, including by deploying troops from Fort Drum, in our district.

Ms. Stefanik spoke about her actions, such as leading a successful bipartisan effort to include key language in the National Defense Authorization Act, and providing alternative energy sources for Fort Drum.

Unfortunately, most citizens in our district aren’t aware of her position and actions regarding climate change. They are also unaware that the major security threats being created by climate change are well known and are of major concern to our military experts and our intelligence agencies. » Letters Cont. on pg. 5

DEC announces deer harvest numbers

enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors each year,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said. “Through the careful work of our conservation experts, hunting is a sound wildlife management tool that benefits all New Yorkers by reducing negative impacts of deer on forests, communities, and crops while providing millions of pounds of high quality local meat to families throughout the state.”

A main area of decline has come in the antlerless harvest, which occurred despite DEC issuing more antlerless permits.

STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Over 25,000 deer were harvested in the Northern Zone of New York State, says a report from the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Overall, 203,427 deer were taken during the fall 2017 hunting season, down from 213,061 the previous year.

Both numbers are well below the five-year average of 228,246 between 2012 and 2016.

In the Northern Zone, 25,351 deer were taken in 2017, with 19,377 taken during the regular season, 4,467 during muzzleloader season, 1,388 during bow season and 119

» Letters Cont. from pg. 4 For many people who remain uncertain about climate change, knowing that someone like Elise is taking these positions, and in support of our military, can be useful and important information.

It can help clarify that these climate change threats are real and enormous, including to our national security, and that we cannot afford to delay action while some people try to make this an issue of ideology, instead of one of science and national well-being.

AR-15s not needed for protection

To the Editor: I would like to thank Edward Binder for his informative letter (“NRA not to blame for mass-shootings,” April 7). He explains “the AR-15 is not an assault rifle. The AR

DEC wildlife biologists have noted two important and encouraging items that emerged from the 2017 deer harvest. First, with 53.3 percent of the adult buck harvest averaging 2.5 years or older, hunters took an estimated 57,494 older bucks, setting a record in total number and greatest percentage of older bucks in the harvest.

Seggos said this is in part due to a new “Let Young Bucks Go and Watch Them Grow” program.

“All hunters are now having greater opportunity to see and take older, larger bucks,” said Seggos.

Also, the portion of successful hunters who reported their harvest as required by state law increased from 44 percent in recent years to 50 percent in 2017.

Seggos said DEC has made the process of harvest reporting substantially easier for hunters, providing phone, internet and mobile app options.

Fascinating.

He goes on to write “the AR-15 is a semiautomatic, which means the trigger must be pulled for each shot fired. As well, it uses a smaller caliber bullet.”

Well, that’s a relief. It can only shoot two rounds per second. Maybe the smaller bullet will hurt less or kill me less dead.

Come on people, we don’t need these things!

I own a gun but not one of these suckers.

Afraid of intruders? I’m sure it happens, but I read several newspapers every day and I just don’t see articles where homeowners successfully protect themselves with their guns.

New York should lead the way in ensuring safe environment

To the Editor: Thanks for highlighting the success of the Adirondack Council and other allies in opposing President Donald Trump’s cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency budget (“EPA cuts rejected in federal budget bill,” April 3, 2018).

Trump’s assault on the EPA budget would have risked the lives of New Yorkers. Thanks to elected officials like Sen. Chuck Schumer, the agency that protects our air and water has been spared from Trump’s budget axe.

At the same time, we should be making more progress here in New York in creating a safe environment. We need Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s leadership in stopping fossil fuel projects, boosting investments in water infrastructure, and shifting to 100 percent renewable energy.

Guest Viewpoint

The truth about scholarships

By Bob Gardner and Robert Zayas Many parents are trying to live the dream through their sons and daughters — the dream of landing a college athletic scholarship by specializing in a sport year-round.

Unfortunately, most of these dreams are never realized.

The odds of a sports scholarship paying for even a portion of a student’s college education are minuscule.

The College Board, a not-for-profit organization comprised of 6,000 of the world’s leading educational institutions, reports that a moderate cost for college students who attend a public university in their state of residence is $25,290 per year. The annual cost at a private college averages $50,900.

Meanwhile, the most recent data from the NCAA reveals that the average Division I athletic scholarship is worth only $10,400. More significantly, the same study shows that fewer than two percent of all high school athletes (1 in 54) ever wear the uniform of an NCAA Division I school.

Even if the dream is realized, parents likely will spend more money for club sports than they ever regain through college athletic scholarships.

Thanks to the costs of club fees, equipment, summer camps, playing in out-of-state tournaments and private coaching, youth sports has become a $15 billion-per-year industry.

There is an option, and it’s a financially viable one: Encourage your sons and daughters to play sports at their high school.

In education-based high school sports, student-athletes are taught, as the term implies, that grades come first.

The real-life lessons that students experientially learn offer insights into leadership, overcoming adversity and mutual respect that cannot be learned anywhere else. Unlike club sports, coaches in an education-based school setting are held accountable by the guiding principles and goals of their school district. And the cost of participating in high school sports is minimal in most cases.

While there is a belief that the only way to get noticed by college coaches is to play on non-school travel teams year-round, many Division I football and basketball coaches recently have stated that they are committed to recruiting students who have played multiple sports within the high school setting.

In addition, by focusing on academics while playing sports within the school setting, students can earn scholarships for academics and other talents— skill sets oftentimes nurtured while participating in high school activities.

These scholarships are more accessible and worth more money than athletic scholarships. While $3 billion per year is available for athletic scholarships, more than $11 billion is awarded for academic scholarships and other financial assistance.

Without a doubt, your sons and daughters will have more fun, make more friends and be better prepared for life beyond sport by participating in multiple sports and activities offered by the high school in your community. ■ — Bob Gardner is the executive director of the National Federation of State High School Associations. Robert Zayas serves as the executive director of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

The investigation revealed that Thume was allegedly operating a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado with an attached snow plow east on Town Line Road when he failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection with Military Turnpike, continuing east onto Military Turnpike at an alleged high rate of speed.

Thume’s vehicle failed to yield the right of way and struck a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe being operated south on Military Turnpike by Harry Neverett of Plattsburgh, causing both vehicles to exit the east side of the roadway.

Clinton County Sheriff’s Deputies determined that Thume was allegedly operating the Silverado while in an intoxicated condition.

Deputies allegedly located open containers of alcoholic beverages and marijuana in Thume’s vehicle.

Interviews with witnesses at the scene also revealed Thume allegedly attempted to flee the scene prior to the arrival of emergency responders.

Thume was transported to UVM-CVPH Medical Center for treatment of neck and back pain. Neverett was evaluated on scene by EMS and declined transport to the hospital. Both vehicles were towed from the scene. Beekmantown Fire Department, Morrisonville Fire Department and CVPH EMS responded to the incident.

Clinton County Sheriff ’s Deputies arrested Ramsey on those charges following an investigation into an alleged violation of an order of protection.

Plattsburgh Farmer’s Market gets OK Councilors approve market leadership ahead of seasonal event

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The Plattsburgh Common Council renewed the Plattsburgh Farmer’s Market Board of Directors’ authority to run the city’s seasonal market.

The decision was initially tabled for two weeks after the council criticized the board for their apparent reluctance to accept new members.

But some councilors walked back their statements.

“This has been dragged out way too long and I know that’s a burden to you,” Councilor Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1)

told market leadership.

The council also agreed to allow the market additional space, provisional upon them welcoming in more vendors.

Plattsburgh Farmer’s Market Board of Directors President Dick Crawford said that as long as vendors abide by their guidelines, they’ll be welcomed in.

“We’re trying to make it happen, but we have guidelines,” he said, citing a rule that requires Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) agreements to be carried out prior to the market opening to customers in the morning. “We’ve had these rules and regulations for 30 years, and they’ve worked well for us.

“We are not a closed group of people.”

Councilor Michael Kelly (Ward 3) apologized to the farmer’s market board for accusing them of being an exclusive club on March 1, citing a misunderstanding.

The market hosted nearly 30 vendors last year.

Councilor Dale Dowdle (Ward 3) thanked the market board of directors for continuing to oversee the market.

The Common Council last week reauthorized the Plattsburgh Farmer’s Market Board of Directors to oversee the city’s market, which will run from May 12 through Oct. 6.

Pro-gun rally scheduled for weekend “Americans for America” event slated for Saturday in Albany

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

SARANAC LAKE | Millions marched last month as part of nationwide “March for Our Lives” rallies to call for more stringent gun control measures, including in Saranac Lake and Plattsburgh.

Now Second Amendment supporters will host their own rally in Albany this coming Saturday April 14 from 2 to 6 p.m. at Empire State Plaza.

The event is part of the nationwide “Americans for America: National 2nd Amendment Rights Rally,” said Garry Hoffman, director of law enforcement relations at Gun Owners of America: New York, a pro-Second Amendment organization.

“We’re attacked on all sides from the antigun movement,” said Hoffman. “It’s almost that pro-gun control people think we don’t respond emotionally to these tragedies. We respond just like everyone else, but don’t see gun control as a solution.”

Gun control has emerged as a central issue in U.S. politics following a massacre at a Florida high school in February that left 17 dead.

Stronger safeguards have become a rallying cry across the country, and several states have already passed legislation in the aftermath, including New York, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law a bill banning those accused of domestic violence of owning firearms.

At the federal level, Congress quickly passed legislation to strengthen the national criminal background check system and bolster

resources for school security officers.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) touted those measures in district events last week, and while she agrees with banning “bump stocks,” the lawmaker repeatedly refused to condemn the National Rifle Association or endorse a ban on semi-automatic weapons or other restrictions on firearms.

“We have very proud NRA members in the district, and I’m not going to denigrate them,” Stefanik said.

Hoffman, who lives in Saranac Lake, decries any form of gun control — including the Stefanik-supported national Fix NICS legislation, which bolsters records submission assistance for states and requires federal agencies to submit annual reports and certifications of compliance.

Hoffman harbors concerns that the national list will be marred by transparency issues, much like the SAFE Act, New York’s strict gun control legislation passed one month after the Sandy Hook shooting in 2013.

He also contends the SAFE Act was written to be intentionally vague, and places too much discretionary authority in the hands of district attorneys and law enforcement.

“I want anyone to supports gun control to name one law that will keep one crime from happening,” Hoffman said. “Criminals don’t care about the law; they don’t care about judges and they don’t care about these crimes.”

Hoffman said the public discussion has turned from a public safety issue to a gun control issue.

“All the studies show it does not work,” he said.

“Americans for America” is billed as a peaceful event, and organizers aim to have events in each state capital nationwide.

“We’d be happy if there was 1,000 people,” Hoffman said of the Albany event.

Morgan Zegers, a candidate for a Capital District-area state Assembly seat, is also a strong Second Amendment supporter.

Supporters of the Second Amendment demonstrated outside of the Moreau Community Center in South Glens falls last week ahead of a forum by Rep. Elise Stefanik.

Photo by Pete DeMola The political hopeful says she would rather bring people together by finding “effective solutions through dialogue and debate” than by restricting access to firearms.

Zegers, 21, recently hosted a roundtable discussion on school safety and the importance of the Second Amendment with local high school students.

“As a community, we can implement policies and target funding to provide mental health services for the people in our community who need it most,” Zegers said in a statement. “If implemented properly, we will save our community from the potential peril of a dangerous and ill-minded individual looking to do us harm.”

Cuomo, for his part, has pledged to continued to position the Empire State has a national leader in crafting strong gun control legislation.

“The federal government’s failure to act on any form of meaningful gun safety laws

is unconscionable,” Cuomo said in a statement announcing the passage of the domestic violence legislation last month.

Constituents pleaded with Stefanik last week to do more to combat violence.

“It could happen right here to this group of people,” Mary Anne Johnson told the lawmaker at an event in Moriah.

“Americans for America” starts at 2 p.m.

Saturday at the Empire State Plaza.

New York is not an open carry state, and participants are asked to observe all state and local firearms laws — including parading with long guns. Concealed carry permitholders may carry in accordance with their license restrictions. Firearms of any kind are prohibited on state property.

» Slow Art Day Cont. from pg. 1 Her work, featured in the past at the Strand Arts Center in Plattsburgh, brought to life a Cuban city full of light, bright color and classic American cars.

The goal is to get visitors to show up at an art exhibit, even if they’ve never done so before, and look at each piece of art for anywhere from 5-10 minutes each.

Kat O’Brien, co-organizer and an artist herself, admits that even she doesn’t take the proper amount of time when taking in others’ artwork.

The second exhibit, featuring the paintings of Montreal-based artist Mary Harman, will be on display at the Champlain Meeting House at 2 p.m.

After each exhibit, the artists themselves will be on hand to answer questions and speak with visitors.

“It’s a unique opportunity to be able to speak with artists in such a small setting,” said Janet McFetridge, a village trustee and co-organizer of the event.

A lengthier discussion will follow from 3-4 p.m. at the Meeting House, she said.

The BG/NC Sun | April 14, 2018 • 9

A 2017 study by Germany-based psychologist Claus-Christian Carbon found that depending on the type of art, people spend between 25.7 to 41 seconds on average looking at an individual piece.

It’s studies like Carbon’s that make up the basis of International Slow Art Day. “(This event) is a specific framework to make that time to look. You pay attention to what you’re seeing, but you also pay attention to what questions rise up in your mind about what you’re seeing,” said O’Brien. “It’s also about that experience — that experience of stopping and

Turning a Redbird blue KC Royals sign player with autism, played for P-burgh team last season

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | For Tarik El-Abour, the dream has started to come true.

El-Abour recently signed to play for the Kansas City Royals Major League Baseball franchise, officially trading in the Plattsburgh Redbirds uniform he wore a year ago for the blue and white of the Royals.

With the signing, he and the Royals have also made a bit of history, as El-Abour is believed to be the first profes-

sional baseball player diagnosed with autism.

“Opportunity is earned first before its given, and this young man has rightfully earned an opportunity,” said Empire League CEO Eddie Gonzalez. “A devoted, dedicated, hard working ball player who has overcome so much adversity, and been told no a thousand times, all he needed was one yes. I am honored to have been blessed with an chance to sign a player of his caliber.”

“He has been a champion every year he has stepped foot on an Empire League field,” said VP Jerry Gonzalez. “His mindset is set on one goal and that’s Major League Baseball. We believed in Tarik like many doubters did not. I am so beyond excited and happy for this kid, I can’t explain it.”

Last season as a member of the Redbirds, El-Abour played in 38 games, hitting .240 with 10 RBI in 96 at-bats, while being hit by a pitch 18 times, second most in the league.

As a rookie, he batted .323 for the Sullivan Explorers. In both seasons, he was a member of the Empire League championship team.

standing on two feet, rather than moving right along. Many people come away from it saying it’s something like a meditation.”

Now in its second year, Champlain’s Slow Art Day also opens a discussion between neighbors that may not happen otherwise, she said.

“Just having that thing to share with other people often breaks the ice,” she said. “You know, ‘What’s this art about, anyway?’”

Mooers man to donate kidney to wife in life-saving procedure

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

MOOERS | When they first locked eyes, it was love at first sight.

Well, there was a definite spark, at least, Matt Lloyd said of meeting his wife, Brandi.

They met in psychology class at Clinton Community College.

At first, she kept her distance.

LEARN MORE ABOUT ORGAN DONATION

April is National Donate Life Month.

According to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), there are over 115,000 people waiting for a life-saving transplant.

That includes 10,000 New Yorkers.

Approximately 80 percent of patients on the donor waiting list are waiting for a kidney, according to Donate Life America.

Resources are available for people who share Brandi’s disease. Learn more about polycistic kidney disease treatment and up-to-date information on the search for a cure at pkdcure.org, or by contacting the PKD Foundation at 1-800-PKD-CURE. The average wait-time for a kidney is 3-5 years.

Over five million people in this state have registered to donate organs, according to the New York State Donate Life Registry.

You likely can, too.

In this state, anyone 16 years or older can register online to become an organ donor.

Learn more by visiting donatelife.ny.gov, or by calling 1-866-NY-DONOR. ■

“My freshman year, I wasn’t going to date at all,” Brandi said.

“But I was persistent,” Matt laughed.

They were married in 1996, a big, romantic affair at Bluff Point.

Matt and Brandi, who reside in Mooers, have enjoyed 22 years of marriage together and are the proud parents of a son, Benjamin.

Now Matt is giving his wife a kidney.

Brandi, 44, has polycystic kidney disease, a hereditary condition that can be fatal.

There’s a variety of management options, from various medicines to dialysis, and as the condition gets worse, eventually a transplant is required.

Brandi has been on dialysis for 10 months.

“We’re tethered to our home. We can’t go anywhere for more than two days,” Brandi said.

Her kidney is the size of a football, with cysts the size of fists.

Matt had known for years that the necessity for a transplant was likely.

“This is nothing that was a surprise. She told me about her disease before we were married and we knew this would be the outcome,” he said.

Before knowing the intricacies of donation — all the tests involved; blood type, tissue type — he always pledged that when the day came, he’d donate his kidney to her.

“When you’re in your early 20s, you’re not thinking about what’s going to happen.”

It seems he’ll fulfill that promise after all.

When the time for a transplant came, he got tested.

And tested, and tested.

“It turns out we’re very compatible,” he said. “It was a relief.”

“He feels like he’s not a hero,” Brandi chimed in.

“I just happened to be a match,” he shrugged. “There’s a lot of spouses that would love to do the same. It’s not just for her, it’s our son... our whole family’s lifestyle.”

The couple are currently in a 30-day waiting period and are waiting to hear when the surgery will be scheduled.

“It’s a pretty big surgery,” she said, noting that her father, a pastor, had a similar operation 14 years ago.

But her husband will be there for her.

“We’ll be that much closer,” he said. ■

New Plattsburgh City Police chief named Levi Ritter appointed top cop

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Levi Ritter has been appointed as Plattsburgh’s new City Police chief.

The appointment, handed down by Mayor Colin Read last Thursday, is provisional upon Ritter passing a civil service exam. He will succeed former Police Chief Ken Parkinson, who retired in February.

Ritter, 43, has worked for Plattsburgh City Police for 13 years.

“The day I was appointed chief was actually my 13th year to the day,” Ritter said.

As chief, he doesn’t plan on making any major changes to the department.

“I will make sure we continue the long-standing tradition of being a professional police force.”

OPIOID CRISIS

One of the largest issues city police are currently contending with, according to Ritter, is crime related to the opioid crisis.

“The biggest thing that we see is the collateral crime related to the infiltration of drugs

in our community,” Ritter said.

Not just the sale of drugs ­— but what people do to buy them, including home invasions and robberies.

“Another part of this is — what can we do, as the police, to assist in the rehabilitation efforts for addicts?” he asked.

“The last thing we want is the revolving door of ‘arrest, arrest, arrest’ and ‘incarcerate, incarcerate, incarcerate.’ How can we, as police, assist the professionals who are trying to rehabilitate addicts?”

MAYOR COMMENDS RITTER, KIROY

Lieutenant Brad Kiroy was also appointed

captain last week.

“I expect Lieutenant Ritter will prove to be an exemplary chief for our city,” Read said in a statement. “He has been functioning extraordinarily, with the able assistance of our new police captain, Brad Kiroy.

“I thank them both for their willingness to serve and very much look forward to working with them as we improve community policing and combat our growing opioid epidemic.”

Both Kiroy and Ritter’s appointments were effective last Friday, April 6.

Ritter’s salary is still to be determined. Parkinson’s yearly salary was $100,216, and former Police Chief Desmond Racicot’s was $118,652. ■

Th ree sessions have already been held in April, he said, and though riders have started out skeptical or disapproving of the changes, when guided through the process most have appeared relieved.

“They just say, ‘Oh, this isn’t that bad,’” he said.

“I fi nd the (information sessions) have been very helpful.”

The training sessions run through what riders can expect when using the new system, which allows anyone to call CCPT in advance to request a deviation for pickup.

Interested riders can meet at the bus stop on Cornelia Street outside the government center on April 14, and inside the government center at the first floor meeting room on April 18. Call 518-561-1452 for more information or to RSVP.

QUESTIONS REMAIN

In the months leading up to the county leg-

islature’s vote to go ahead with a trial period for the new deviation service, members of the disabled community and the North Country Center for Independence (NCCI) were vocal in their skepticism — or in some cases, resistance — over the proposed changes.

Some concerns still remain, according to NCCI Executive Director Robert Poulin.

“I think the people that’ll be affected the most are seniors on Medicare trying to get to medical appointments, because they do not have the Medicare transportation option that people on Medicaid have,” he said. “They rely on paratransit to get to their appointments. It’ll be much more challenging for them to be able to use the system.”

Poulin said that difficulty could ultimately lead to seniors scheduling fewer appointments, and eventually, could result in more emergency room visits.

Clinton County Transactions

HIRING

CHAMPLAIN VALLEY SENIOR COMMUNITY

The county’s transit system is primarily funded through state and federal sources, according to deviation plan documents.

A bulk of the operation costs are funded through the state Department of Transportation’s Statewide Mass Transportation Operating Assistance program and the federal Department of Transportation’s Formula Grants for Rural Areas program. Both require a local match.

Over the last five years, the local cost of running CCPT has increased, from $33,000 in 2013 to $207,000 in 2016.

“The growing local tax burden associated with CCPT could cause the system to become unaffordable and result in the elimination of the transit program entirely,” reads the deviation plan.

CCPT’s total budget is around $1.3 million.

The switchover from paratransit to a deviation service is expected to save the county $25-50,000 per year if permanently implemented, Bosley said.

The plan was approved by the Clinton County Legislature last September. ■

also remains a concern, he said.

“I’m still worried about folks in wheel chairs — how is their service going to be?

Will they get picked up at home in a timely manner, and will people on the buses get mad if those buses are delayed?”

Though uncertainty remains, NCCI will be on hand to help, he said.

“The decision has been made, and NCCI will do its best to help people with disabilities to help the system,” said Poulin. “If there’s a chance of (deviation) being a success, we want to do our part in making it successful.

“If anyone has problems, we want to hear from them too.”
