The rebranding, announced last month, was sparked by Shanley’s decision to retire after 41 years.

“It’s just time,” Shanley told The Sun. “I’m 73, and I’ll be 74 in September.”

Larry Shanley Jr., who has served as supervising pharmacist for the past decade, wanted to change career paths and will no longer be involved with the family business.

CADYVILLE | The Town of Plattsburgh on Sunday turned the page on Clinton County’s first storybook trail.

The 17-stop, family-friendly hike officially opened to the public on Aug. 27. The storybook trail offers a sort of respite, as if at a library:

Nearly 50 residents — kids and adults alike — showed up to take a peak at the new attraction on Sunday.

PEPPER PEPS UP THE CROWD

The first book featured on the Cadyville storybook trail is “Pepper Finds Her Way: A Blind Pup’s Tale” by Champlainbased mother-daughter duo Shelby and Suzanne Moore.

Released in February, the book follows the tale of Pepper, a real-life pup that kept wagging her tail through a series of tribulations that ultimately lead to blindness. Pepper, diagnosed with diabetes, suffered through glaucoma and cataracts before veterinarians said that the dog would need to have her eyes removed. » Trail Cont. on pg. 11

Much as one enters a different world when reading a book, visitors of the trail descend into the woods as the story progresses.

Visitors read a few pages at a time as they meander through the quiet forest, reflecting on each passage as the walk stretches onward.

County oﬃcials endorse shared services plan

County-wide initiative will move forward for final panel vote on Sept. 15

PLATTSBURGH | The Clinton County Legislature last week endorsed the county’s proposed county-wide shared services plan. The plan, curated by a county administrator-led panel of town and city officials, will net taxpayers a savings of over $750,000, ac-

cording to a resolution passed by the legislature on Aug. 23.

“The Clinton County Legislature, having reviewed the draft Clinton County Shared Services Plan, supports the proposals contained within the plan,” reads the resolution.

Another proposal outlines county takeover of the City of Plattsburgh’s property assessment services, which would lead to an estimated savings of By Elizabeth Izzo $66,654 for the city. • STA FF W RITER •

The plan currently includes six proposals.

The largest would dissolve the Rouses Point’s Police Department (projected savings: $310,528) and forge an agreement with the Town of Black Brook to plow county roads,

------~[~[~[~10 8 IS 8(S{!J0~8CJL?

a $306,040 savings.

According to the plan, the cost to the county would be “neutral.”

Implementation of a county-wide dog control service under the jurisdiction of the Clinton County Sheriff ’s Office is also included in the plan. Those savings are estimated at $59,000.

Other proposals allow for greater town purchasing power through the county and possible city “piggybacking” on the county’s Excellus health care plan.

The plan will move to a final panel vote on Sept. 15, according to County Administrator Michael Zurlo. Each municipality will have an opportunity to opt-out of the plan if they choose to, he said.

Following submission of the plans to the state, a final public presentation must be held by the state-mandated Oct. 15 deadline. ■

» Pharmacy Cont. from pg. 1 pharmacy services remained in the community,” he said.

The current location on Gorman Way is the community mainstay’s third location in four decades. Shanley opened the first incarnation of Peru Health Mart Pharmacy on Main Street in 1976, sharing the space with a doctor’s office and real estate agent.

The opportunity to expand came his way in 1992 when 7,000 square feet of retail space became available at the plaza hosting Tops and Aubuchon. “That propelled our pharmacy to larger success because we could offer more things for sale and for the community,” Shanley said.

The move to their current location in 2008 saw the outlet expand to 8,000 square feet. Doing so allowed the Peru Health Mart Pharmacy to be more than just a pharmacy, Shanley said. The business became known as prime real estate for local vendors to sell their wares, including jewelry, woodcrafts, Adirondack frames and decorative items, a tradition that will continue under the new ownership’s “Love Local” program.

As he has grown the business, Shanley continued to deepen his family’s ties to the area. “I’ve always tried to be a part of the public here,” he said, citing long-standing membership in the Peru Lion’s Club and Knights of Columbus Lodge 72 and 73.

“I owe everything to the Peru community. Great people and a great opportunity to raise children.”

Now, after 41 years, Shanley looks forward to retirement and aims to spend more time traveling with his wife, Marcia. The staff will remain unchanged under Kinney ownership, and all prescription records will be immediately transferred. “I believe the Kinney people will do a very good job for the community,” Shanley said. “I’m pleased with how it’s ending, and the future looks bright for the community of Peru, and I’m leaving things in good hands.”

Kinney Drugs, which is based in Gouverneur in St. Lawrence County, has over 100 locations in New York and Vermont, according to their website. ■

ON THE FRONT: Peru Health Mart Pharmacy owner Lanny Shanley is retiring after 41 years. “Peru is a great area and a great community,” he said.

Lawmakers greenlight Adirondack Pride Parade Second-annual LGBTQ celebration will march Lake City streets on Sept. 30 By Elizabeth Izzo

PLATTSBURGH | After a four week delay, the Adirondack Pride Parade has received approval from the Plattsburgh Common Council.

Following council hesitation to approve the request to hold the annual LGBTQ celebration, based on projected Plattsburgh City Police Department overtime costs to facilitate requested road closures, the Adirondack North Country Gender Alliance (ANCGA) has agreed to a compromise. The Adirondack Pride Parade will follow an alternate route along Court Street and alter the hours of the parade from 1-5 p.m. to 12-5 p.m. The ANCGA initially submitted their request on July 27 to hold a second-annual LGBTQ celebration in downtown Plattsburgh.

But according to Councilman Peter Ensel (Ward 4), police overtime would have amounted to over $1,000.

That cost stemmed from the group’s request to close Margaret, Broad and Rugar streets for two and a half hours to accommodate the parade. Ultimately, the Adirondack Pride Parade received the council’s go-ahead on Aug. 24.

The parade has officially been set for Sept. 30 from 12-5 p.m. For more information, visit facebook.com/adkncga. ■ PICTURED ABOVE: The Adirondack Pride Parade, now in its second year, will return on Sept. 30 after receiving final approval from the Plattsburgh Common Council.

Newly-minted state trooper loves the job “Definitely take the test,” says New York State Trooper Mark Markwica of Westport By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT | For one of the newest members of the New York State Police, Westport native Chris Markwica described his first months on the job as “awesome.” “I enjoy going to work everyday, being there and experiencing the challenges,” Markwica told the Sun. “Every day is different, and I am a lot happier with this new career.” The state police is now looking for the next batch of recruits and will be holding examinations each Saturday in October. “The biggest thing is that you have to sign up by Sept. 1,” said Trooper Bernie Bullis, a recruiter with the state police. “You can apply online, and the score you receive on your test is good for the next four years.” Bullis said those interested in taking the NYSP examination can register at ny-trooper.com. Tests will take place at SUNY Plattsburgh on Oct. 7 and Oct. 8 and at Potsdam Central High School Oct. 14 and Oct. 21. “As of last week, we had just over 19,400 signed up,” Bullis said. “Over the last four testing periods, we have reached out to at least 10,500 from the list of potential candidates.” Taking the test and scoring well on it does not guarantee admission, as there are several other steps to complete. However, once completed, both Markwica and Bullis said the

experience is rewarding. Bullis said, “The first thing I always see is the courage of these people to change the directions of their careers and having the courage to go away from what they have known and move forward in a direction they can be proud of.” “I had always wanted to do something in law enforcement,” Markwica said. “I have always liked helping people. I look at this job as a position where you can be more of a role model to others.” Markwica also cited the ability to change the community for the better by keeping it safe. “After my daughter Finley was born, it was a matter of if I could do something that would make the area my daughter lives in safer, then I was going to do that.” After college, Markwica started in the Essex County Emergency Center as a 911 dispatcher. While there, he became close with the troopers and sheriffs deputies. But poor eyesight prohibited him from taking the exam the first go-around. “There was a five-year gap between the next time the state gave the test, and I got Lasik surgery and was able to take the test,” he said. Markwica was informed just days after his daughter’s birth about being accepted to the state police cademy, but turned it down at that time, only to be called back again for last spring’s class. “It took a while, but I am very glad that I followed through,” Markwica said. “I like all of the

people I am working with and the field training officers were extremely helpful during that time.” For those who make the academy, Markwica said work on being physically and mentally prepared to enter the program. “Everything the training officers do at the academy is for a reason,” he said. “Since I’ve been out, I can now see those reasons. The academy was rough, but in some ways enjoyable.” Troopers can be found in a number of jobs within the state police, not just patrolmen. “I am always surprised by the variety of people that we have,” Bullis said. “In the academy, I had the chance to work with some of the K-9 trainees and that was great,” he said. “But right now, I like working on the road and meeting new people.” For those interested, Markwica had advice. “At least take the test,” he said. “You never know where you can go from there.” ■

County OKs CCC spending plan

Lawmakers approve $2.8 million in county share By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The Clinton County Board of Legislators last week approved a $175,000 increase in funding for Clinton Community College (CCC). The cost increase, which set the county’s budget contribution at just over $2.8 million, was approved as part of the school’s total $13.6 million spending plan for 2017-18. Despite the increase in the county’s share of the budget — in part due to low enrollment and declining state aid, according to the school’s budget proposal — legislators expressed their support for the fiscal plan.

Legislature chair Harry McManus (Area 1) said that the excitement is palpable for the future of CCC:

Full-time students at CCC this year will see an increase in tuition between $344 and $400.

“The future looks bright for Clinton Community College.”

The school’s administration, staff and students have been invigorated, said Legislator Mark Dame (Area 9):

CCC Vice President of Administration and Finance Lisa Shovan last month said that the school hopes to stabilize tuition and look to limited increases in the next two years.

The college opened its new IAM facility to students on Aug. 28.

At the beginning of the 2016-17 fiscal year, CCC’s reserves totaled over $1.1 million.

TUITION HIKE

Though total spending at the college has declined by 1.2 percent, the school will need to extract $363,558 from its reserves this year, according to the school’s budget proposal.

“The energy and enthusiasm from the college is contagious,” he said. “You can feel it.

For part-time students, the increase will range from $15-17 per credit hour depending on residency.

“We’re on the cusp of great things with the IAM (Institute for Advanced Manufacturing).”

In addition to a higher tuition rate, the school will also rely more on its fund balance than in previous years.

“I’m thrilled to support this 100 percent,” Legislator Jonathan Beach (Area 2) added.

At the end of the 2017-18 school year, CCC officials have projected that number will decline to $400,683.

Apart from the $175,000 funding increase from the county, the school will also rely on increased tuition rates to balance the numbers.

The fall semester at CCC began on Aug. 28. ■

City mulls finance, municipal lighting move

Common Council talks pay cuts in first formal budget session

and put it back on the tax roll,” said Marks.

That sale would allow for the building to become taxable property, which could increase city revenue by $4,000, he said.

The new finance office would take over the Engineering Department’s vacated space on the first floor, according to Marks.

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Talk of moving the city’s finance office and cutting councilor pay surfaced last week. With Mayor Colin Read’s proposed budget in hand and a goal in mind to make an additional $500,000 worth of cuts, the Plattsburgh Common Council last week held their first official budget session.

One of the first proposals was moving the city’s finance office from 6 Miller Street into city hall. The savings could amount to upwards of $36,000 in rent per year, according to City Chamberlain Richard Marks.

The move could also increase tax revenue by $4,000 per year.

“It won’t be an easy task, but it’s doable,” said Read. The finance office currently shares a building with the Municipal Lighting Department (MLD). “MLD would like to sell that current building

“Do I want (the move) to happen? No,” Marks said. “But we’ll do whatever we have to do.”

FUTURE CONCERNS

The only concerns that Marks has with the move, he said, revolve around foot traffic into city hall. Though hopeful that an upcoming push toward online direct-deposit bill payments will reduce the amount of in-person payments, parking around city hall remains a concern, he said.

Over 60 percent of people still visit the finance office rather than pay their bills online or through the mail, according to Marks. Some residents don’t have checking accounts or computers.

“It’s just the nature of this town,” he said.

“It’s a unique situation that we have so much walk-in business.”

The MLD building currently has a drivethru window for customers who don’t want to park and pay inside.

“It it’s the plan to (move), we’ll do it,” Marks said. “My main concern is that driveup window.”

“Hopefully the (online bill pay) will come online during this time,” Read said, “and create less of a need to come into the office.” No formal action was taken on the proposal.

COUNCIL PAY CUT

Councilor Michael Kelly (Ward 2), who hopes to adopt a budget by October, was the first to float a cost-saving measure last week: “I propose we reduce the (common council pay line) by 15 percent,” he said.

That would cut each councilor’s pay by $1,500 per year — or $8,500, down from the current $10,000 per year.

Come tax time, residents still come into the office with stacks of cash to get a cash receipt, Marks said.

“I think it’s only fair,” Kelly said.

The Plattsburgh Common Council will continue budget talks for the next few weeks before voting on a final budget plan.

PUBLIC HEARING

A public hearing on the mayor’s proposed budget resulted in just one comment last week.

Former councilor Stuart Voss decried deviation from the normal budget process and noted the importance of interaction between councilors and department heads as the budget process moves forward. “You have to meet with each department head and go over their proposals,” he said.

During his tenure, councilors could speak with department heads at will — that has since changed, according to Voss.“The key is to interact with the department heads.”

Following the public hearing, during a regularly scheduled public comment period, resident Carol Klepper spoke about her concern with the timeline of last month’s department abolishments. ■

Blessing or From the Editor Curse? Cooperative Extension must take

Who wouldn’t love to pocket a cool $758 million? Last week’s prize was the biggest undiBy Dan Alexander vided lottery jackpot • PUBLISHER • in U.S. history. As wonderful and worry-resolving as it may sound being thrust into that much money all at once, it can be as much a curse as it is a blessing. Mavis Wanczyk will become the target for many charities, newfound and long lost friends, professional money managers, legal representatives, relatives and sadly, a number of unscrupulous scammers who would love an opportunity to share in her prize winnings. It is not a new story. We’ve heard about it before from the likes of stage and screen stars, professional sports athletes and prior lottery winners. Money, especially that much money, no one average middle-class person is prepared to deal with on their own. Mavis will be forced to trust others assisting her in the management and disbursement of such a large fund. Common sense mandates that she can’t just take it home and put it in the mattress for safekeeping. Herein lies the dilemma we see all around us: Money causes as many problems as it solves. The trappings of money are seen every day all around us. From the small store clerk whose fingers are caught in the till to halls of government where the money flows in huge amounts. How many of us laid down our hard-earned funds and bought lottery tickets in the hopes of being where Mavis is today? What would a significant number of our population do just to have a tiny fraction of what she won? It’s tantalizing just to think about how you would use those dollars and how happy you could make those around you feel, but sadly it’s never a one and done type of thing. The needs and requests keep coming and the need to preserve and grow what you’ve got only eats into your carefree days. It’s easy to see why some become addicted to gambling or far worse professions when money clouds the picture and warps one’s commoner thinking. It takes a very unique person to remain normal under such conditions and so when I make the following recommendation, hold me to it, should I ever find myself in a windfall. No one person should never be awarded that much money. A couple of million is hard enough, but that much money is just too much. ■

ownership of ailing structure By Pete DeMola EDITOR

An Essex County Board of Supervisors subcommittee tasked with detailing the fate of the county-owned CCE Building in Westport has released their long-awaited formal report. The task force on Monday presented several options to county lawmakers. Following years of neglect, a full scale restoration will cost $2.3 million, with conversion to a three-season structure clocking in at about $786,000. Engineers have said the building is borderline uninhabitable and poses a serious safety hazard to the county employees currently housed there. The options presented by the task force are good ones, and they clearly have given what’s shaping up to be a contentious issue their due diligence. But we think the county should simply facilitate a transfer to Cornell Cooperative Extension as soon as possible and be done with it. The President of the Essex County CCE Board of Directors has indicated that it may be a desirable option. So if CCE wants it, give it to them. The county should have the building appraised and sign over the paperwork as soon as possible. We’ve been reporting from the local gov-

ernment trenches long enough to see how large-scale renovation projects of government-owned property go: Rehabilitation projects carry with them a prolonged search for grant funds, reams of paperwork and endless procedural motions guiding every step of the process. Once shovels hit the ground, costs skyrocket due to the state’s prevailing wage rates. (See: The soaring cost of the county nutrition building at the same location.) And owing to the board of supervisors system, a majority of lawmakers simply aren’t vested in the project because it’s not in their community, and probably aren’t the most informed when it comes to their decision-making. The community is understandably skittish over the building’s future, and people have a right to be rattled. The project has symbolic overtones, and for many, this isn’t just about rehabilitating a historic building, but rather ensuring the survival of a unique rural culture. The CCE Building serves as a community hub. Their programming has made endless contributions to the region over the years, and serves as a critical spoke in the development of our children and sustaining the local economy. However, the county doesn’t have the resources to renovate and maintain the building, nor should they be the sole vanguards for preserving this culture. The burden is just too much, nor should they be asked

Letters to the Editor

Government nickel-and-diming reminiscent of Russia

To the Editor: I’ve heard from several sources that an American citizen has to be very careful if visiting — say, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia — that they don’t get their pockets picked. Both sources reported that half the people in their tour group were “picked” even after having been forewarned. St. Petersburg has nothing on the government of New York state. Last week, I purchased a very nice used vehicle when someone offered me the proverbial “offer I could not refuse.” I expected to pay the 8 percent sales tax on the vehicle, even though I think it is a form of “government overreach” we hear so much about these days. The sales tax had already been paid when that vehicle was purchased new and again when the seller I met bought it only a few months ago. Because I teach basic math up at Moriah Shock as a literacy volunteer, I was able to multiply the purchase price by .08 and got $1,468.80. However, when I was told by the nice lady at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) in Elizabethtown that I should write a check to the Essex County Clerk for $1,600.36, I asked for a breakdown of the additional fees. Two were obvious: $60 title fee and $25 for new plates. That left something like $46.95 unaccounted for, so I asked what that ad-

to shoulder it alone. Cooperative Extension should do the right thing and immediately take ownership of the building to ensure programing and this culture remains intact. With their state and federal partnership paired with private funding streams, Cooperative Extension is better positioned to absorb these renovation costs than the county, and secure the funding necessary to restore the building back to its former glory. Essex County, however, shouldn’t be completely left off the hook. County lawmakers should tweak their annual funding formula to ensure that same level of programming is maintained — if not slightly boosted. It’s important to note the building hasn’t always been county owned. The structure was originally built by a private citizen in 1924 and given to the county about 15 years later. So deeding it back to private ownership would be a return to its roots. The county has more pressing issues it should be dealing with, like tackling the opiate crisis, exploring the creation of a county-wide emergency medical services system and implementing massive statemandated reforms in providing legal services to the poor. Pouring resources into an ailing building should not be among them. ■

ditional tax was all about. The answer was: $28.25 is the “annual fee” and $18.70 is a “retention fee.” Neither person at the BMV could tell me what those fees are for. It wouldn’t do me any good if I got a good explanation from (Supervisor) Joseph Provoncha: I’ve paid the fees so I could license my “new” vehicle. But I thought I’d share with your readers the fact that there is a strong parallel between the pickpockets in St. Petersburg and those working for the state of New York in Elizabethtown. Sincerely, Jim Davis, Westport ■

Dealing with Civil War history

To the Editor: There seems to a deliberate lapse in logic on the part of Publisher Dan Alexander in his opinion piece, “Misguided Efforts.” He wrote that slavery was at the core, but the war was fought over states’ rights. But that was the state’s right for its residents to buy, sell and own other human beings, which was a vision statement that was way past its prime, even in the 1860s. Deal with the true history of the Civil War, past the posturing, past the statues and past those bogus Confederate flags and glory in how far we have come since those dark days.

From the mayor

Debt without limit? Congress finds itself in a pickle. Okay, I’ll bite. Our nation has about a month to reach an • COLUMNIST • agreement whether to expand the allowable debt limit for our federal government. So far, those conversations have not been going well.

www.jceo.org

By Colin Read

518-561-6310

Our debt is currently approaching $20 trillion. A common measure of the manageability of a nation’s debt is its comparison to our Gross Domestic Product. Now approaching 110 percent, the U.S. government has demonstrated a level of debt as a share of GDP that rose dramatically in the Reagan/Bush years, fell somewhat under Clinton, and has risen constantly since, under George Bush and following the Great Recession. It’s natural for government debt to rise during recessions. They are times when spending can be used to prime the economic pump and stimulate renewed economic activity. It’s dangerous to have a debt ratio that rises almost always, though. This occurs when government follows a spending deficit after deficit year after year. The quandary is that reduced government spending, more in line with revenue, is difficult politically. Few politicians are willing to make the decisions necessary to reduce the size of government, regardless of the economy’s overall strength. Government is also constrained in revenue-raising. The federal government relies primarily on income taxes, and to tax the middle class more means less disposable income, less spending, and a greater risk of a recession. The lowest income classes pay very little income taxes, and may even receive net tax credits, while there aren’t very many of the wealthiest and most influential to absorb the burden of insufficient government revenue. Given these constraints, our leaders often take the path of least resistance by borrowing more, year after year. In our nation, this requires the government to also raise its allowable debt limit about once a year. You’d think that the pressure to balance the books might create the courage necessary to trim our nation’s ever-increasing spending. Instead, our leaders usually use fiscal calamity to instead shift spending to favorite programs from those they don’t favor. Our nation consistently raises the tab our children must someday pay, and the best it can do in rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. Meanwhile, spending rises incessantly. Now’s the time for leaders to put aside their bickering. Let’s not squander a chance to reinvent government and make our government sustainable again. Our kids deserve it. Let’s get on with it. ■

States’ rights is a euphemism for defending slavery

To the Editor: Yes, Dan Alexander, “what took place 150 years ago really affects us today.” It doesn’t “just present an opportunity for some to further divide our nation.” Mr. Alexander is referring to the “willful defacing of monuments meant to memorialize historic events,” meaning Confederate monuments. Unmentioned was the controversy surrounding monument relocation, commonly defended as respectable public memorials. “While slavery was at its core,” he asserts “the war was fought over states’ rights” — indeed, the “right” to own slaves! States’ rights is a euphemism for defending the institution of slavery. The Confederate Vice President said the war’s “cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.” Events such as those that led to Charlottesville only “go against the grain of conventional thinking” if we restrict thinkers to the dominant culture. But the United States of America is a republic — where majority passions are deliberately tempered by minority rights. Confederate monuments, as the mayor of New Orleans said, were originally “erected purposefully to send a strong message to all who walked in their shadows about who was still in charge.” Given the golden opportunity to denounce racism, our president equivocated. Any competent leader knows that divisiveness exploited by unscrupulous politicians and sensational media should be countered by uniting us through truth, then reconciliation. Frank Pagano, Jay ■

Clinton County races come into focus Candidates emerge for county legislator, town supervisor elections

Schuyler Falls Supervisor Richard Potiker, a Republican, will defend his seat against Ed Gagnier, a registered Democrat.

By Elizabeth Izzo

County Legislator Samuel Dyer (Area 3) has registered on the Democratic and Experience Matters lines.

Clinton Supervisor Daniel LaClair is running for reelection on the Democratic line. The Republican party held a caucus on Aug. 22, according to the BOE, but no results had yet been filed when this edition went to print.

Dyer also filed to run on the Conservative party line, but with an Opportunity to Ballot (OTB) petition filed with the BOE, the candidate will first face a primary where voters will be able to write in a candidate.

The deadline to file independent petitions with the Clinton County Board of Elections was Aug. 22.

STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | With the deadline to file independent petitions now past, the ballots have firmed up for contested races in Clinton County this fall. Barring write-in candidates, here’s how the local races are shaking out:

COUNTY RACES

Clinton County Treasurer Kimberly Davis and County District Attorney Andrew Wylie, both of whom locked in the Democratic Party and Working Families Party lines, are running unopposed. Five seats on the Clinton County Board of Legislators are up for election this year — just one of which is contested. Legislator Patty Waldron (Area 6) has registered on the Democratic and Working Families lines.

She will defend her seat against former legislator Robert Butler, who filed on the Conservative, Republican and Independence lines.

After winning a special election last year, Legislator Simon Conroy (Area 4) is running unopposed for re-election this year on the Democratic and Working Families party lines. Legislator Jonathan Beach (Area 2) filed to run on the Republican line; Mark Dame (Area 8) has filed on the Republican, Conservative and Independence lines, and Robert Hall (Area 10) has secured the Democratic and Working Families party lines and will run unopposed.

SUPERVISOR RACES

At least six towns have contested supervisor races.

Chazy Supervisor Mark Henry will not run for reelection, and two candidates will compete for the open seat: William Arthur (Independence, Republican) will face Jerry Marking on the Democratic Party line.

An Original

Beekmantown Supervisor Dennis Relation will not seek reelection. Two candidates are seeking the open seat.

Norman Davis, who serves on the Beekmantown Planning Board, is running on the Republican party line.

Davis has also filed to run on the Independence Party line, will face a primary because of an OTB petition. Peru Supervisor Peter Glushko will not seek reelection, according to his secretary.

defend his seat against Timothy R. Napper, a Republican.

Mooers Supervisor Jeff Menard is running for reelection on the Republican and Independence lines. Mooers Democrats have not yet set a caucus date, according to the BOE.

Ellenburg Supervisor Jason Dezan is running for reelection on the Republican line. The Democratic caucus in Ellenburg was set for Aug. 25. The results of that caucus had not been reported to the BOE before this edition went to print.

Primaries in Beekmantown and Peru will be held Sept. 12. The general election is set for Nov. 7. ■

Brandy McDonald is running for the town’s top slot on the Democratic and Working Together for Peru Party lines.

Running on the Republican line is James “Jim” Langley, according to the Clinton County Republican Committee’s website. But the results of the Republican caucus, which was held on July 13, had not yet been reported to the BOE before this edition went to print on Tuesday afternoon. Dannemora Supervisor William Chase is running for reelection, and has filed an independent petition under the “Mighty Miners Party” line. The Democratic caucus was held Aug. 24 and the Republican caucus on Aug. 22, according to the BOE, but neither party had reported the results before this edition went to print. With the caucus results from the two majority parties not yet reported, more challengers in the Dannemora Town Supervisor race could still emerge.

» Trail Cont. from pg. 1

The ’Burgh Sun | September 2, 2017 • 11

Town Supervisor Michael Cashman on Sunday unveiled the new Cadyville Storybook Trail, a new attraction spearheaded by the town of Plattsburgh with help from the town’s Buildings and Grounds Department and Recreation Department.

“She wagged her tail through it all,” said Shelby Moore. “It was so inspiring.”

With Pepper in mind, the Moores wrote their book to teach kids that disabilities don’t define a person — or a puppy. “Despite hardships, you keep wagging your tail,” she said.

“This disability is not her. We felt that was a great message.”

Children gathered around Pepper, eyeing her curiously and asking Moore if they could pet the dog.

Pepper, who reps a Plattsburgh Lion’s Club vest complete with her own business cards, sat happily, mouth open wide in a furry grin, enjoying the sun as her owner spoke with a reporter.

“Pepper is still the happiest dog,” said Moore, reaching down to pet Pepper’s head. All proceeds from the sale of the book benefit the Plattsburgh Lion’s Club, who helped the duo publish the story.

ONGOING ATTRACTION

The books featured in the Cadyville storybook trail will be swapped out monthly, said Cashman, and will largely focus on books from local authors.

“This will not only get kids and families to read, but will give them the opportunity to get use out of this park — which is really a community center.”

Pepper the Pup showed up to rally the crowd on Sunday at the opening of the town of Plattsburgh’s new storybook trail at the Cadyville Recreation Park. She’s pictured here with Suzanne Moore, one of the authors of “Pepper Finds Her Way.” Photo by Elizabeth Izzo

The Cadyville Recreation Park nets hundreds of visitors every day, Cashman said. It’s also the location of the town’s disc golf course.

Eventually, the town may explore adding more fitness elements to the trail, according to Cashman. “The third station could encourage five jumping jacks, and so on,” he said.

The storybook trail was made possible through a $1,000 Stewart’s Shops grant and a nominal cost on behalf of the town, Cashman said.

Anyone interested in having their book featured on the storybook trail should contact the Town Supervisor’s Office at 518-562-6800.

For those interested in booking the Moores for a free presentation, which may include a free eye screening courtesy of the Plattsburgh Lion’s Club, call Suzanne Moore at 5702052 or email blindpupproject@yahoo.com. ■

Knights ready for Class C newcomers By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Last year, the Seton Catholic boy’s soccer team made some noise on their way to the Section VII/Class C final. Now, they hope to return and finish the job.

Knights coach Charlie Gay believes he has a team that can put pressure on opponents from all three levels of the field.

“We will be a well rounded team strong on both offense and defense,” Gay said. “We did not lose any players from last year and have gained a few other talented players on both offense and defense.” After coming off a first-year varsity program after building from the modified and JV levels, consistency can be an issue from time-to-time.

“Being consistently competitive in every game is what we

need to do,” Gay said. “Finishing with a winning record, both overall and league. Making it back to the Championship game in our division our the goals.” To help them gain consistency, the team has been working hard in practice and looks to make the most of preseason.

“We have to be competitive in pre season tournaments, non league games and scrimmages,” he said. “These areas will help us identify areas needed for improvement and to have a successful season.” While Gay believes his whole team has important roles to play, he is seeking leadership and strong seasons from Dawson Pellerin (Goalkeeper), Nate Boule’ (Mid field) and Tobiah Osborne (forward) as well as a strong defensive season from Aiden Masten, Alex Sharon and Foster Ovious. “Our year will be a success if we are consistently competitive,” Gay said. “ Finish the season as the #1 or #2 seed for playoffs in our division.” ■

Lady Knights prep for Div. II play By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The Seton Catholic varsity girl’s soccer team will bring a talented core of experience players to the pitch in 2017.

“The core strength of our team this year is bringing back a lot of girls with years of soccer experience to help guide the players who are new to the team,” coach Ariel Maston said. “Having a strong group of girls who have played together for several years will help make up for the loss of losing five seniors.” With that, the Knights hope to keep to their winning ways and be a force come sectionals.

“Our goals this year include having a winning season again, adjusting new players to the speed of play at the varsity level, and competing with all of the teams in our

division,” she said. “Losing five seniors, most importantly our starting goalie, is a challenge we will have to overcome as a team this year. But we are a team and as a team, we will get through it together.” Maston said the older players have been key to the preseason in guiding new players.

“Having a close-knit team will be key if we want to achieve all of the goals that we set for ourselves,” she said. “Everyone on our roster will contribute to the success of the team. Our year will be a success if we reach our goals and have fun doing so. The girls on this team are very close and work hard for each other day in and day out. That to me is what makes a team.” ■ LADY KNIGHTS SOCCER Ella Archer Sophie VonBargen Haley Murnane Georgia Boule

PLATTSBURGH | The Seton Catholic varsity cross country teams may not have the numbers of other schools, but a rich racing history and some of the top athletes in the sport will help the Knights to succeed in 2017. At this point, we do not have a complete boys team but the ones we do have are good quality,” coach Keith Bombard said, “Most are young runners but all have varsity experience. We are hoping to add a few international students in the near future to complete the team.”

“Caleb Moore had a very successful outdoor track season and should be one of the from runners in the section again this year,” Bombard said.

On the girl’s side, numbers are also an issue, but the team will start with five for the season in eight graders Faline Yang and Audrie Bilow along with the DeJordy sisters — freshman Savannah, sophomore Leah and junior Sofia. “The DeJordy sisters are all coming off a good spring track season,” Bombard said. “As with the boys team, we are hoping to add a few additional runners to give some depth to the team.”

Lady Eagles seek top of gymnastics podium By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

BEEKMANTOWN | A trio of state level athletes are what Beekmantown hopes can help bridge the gap that has been between they and Peru over the past few season in CVAC gymnastics competition.

“We have many returning gymnasts and athletes that compete year round,” coach Jennifer Buerkett said. “Our team has a lot of depth and youth. Our goal is to actively compete with other teams and keep the competition exciting.” Buerkett said the team has been working hard throughout the preseason, focusing on skill training and creativity in their routines.

“Our year will be a success if we unite as a team, show support for all athletes, and improve our performances as the season progresses,” she said.

The team will be led by a trio of state representatives from the 2016 season in Lauren Gonyo, Frankie Beaird and Paige Gircoski. ■

Lady Eagles spikers look to fill nine-player void

Hileman added skill repetition has been key in preseason practices.

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

BEEKMANTOWN | 2017 could prove to be a serious test for the dominance that has been Beekmantown varsity volleyball.

The defending Class B champs lost more than a starting lineup, but nine members of their team to graduation after the 2016 season which saw them two points shy of a state appearance.

“This is a brand new Beekmantown team,” said coach Vickie McMillan, who will work this season with Kaylen Reif and Shana Hileman. “We have only three returning seniors after graduating nine seniors the previous year. We have a very young, raw group of coachable athletes ranging from freshmen to seniors. The coaching staff is training all players to be versatile court players, having all 13 athletes able to play each position effectively. This will allow us to develop numerous options to work with when we develop our working rotation.” However, the Eagles are not changing their goals, as they want to again hoist a sectional title.

PLATTSBURGH | At the size of a linebacker with a rifleman arm, it’s hard to take down Mitch Senecal.

Senecal, who begins his third season under center for the Plattsburgh High School varsity Hornets, will be called on to lead a team under the direction of Pat Keleher.

“We have great senior leadership and QB Mitch Senecal is a threeyear starter, with great experience at skill positions, good numbers and great competition every day at practice,” Keleher said.

The key for the Hornets on defense will be in the defensive backfield, as the line will be in the process of growing and improving as the season begins.

A trio of seniors return for the Eagles in Kaitlyn Bjelko, Hannah Lafountain and Emily Morrissey.

“We are relying heavily on our three seniors for court leadership,” Hileman said. “With so many possibilities in a rotation we do not have key players that truly stand out at this point. Once we find our rotation the league will see who the key players are.” ■

BEEKMANTOWN | The Beekmantown varsity cross country teams hope to stay near the top of the CVAC and Class B standings as they go through the 2017 season. “For the boys, the strength is experience as we have five juniors led by Grant Moravec and all have at least two years of varsity experience,” said coach Andy Hastings, who is joined by coach Gary Phillips. “The girls strength is depth,” Hastings added. “We have 10 girls on our roster with a good balance of veterans and newcomers.”

“Both teams would like to improve on last years dual meet record and challenge for the class B Championship,” her said. Grant Moravec, Cody Gadway and Declan Giltz will be expected to lead the boys squad, while Kara Bouyea, Sierra Wood and Mikayla Hamel will look to do the same for the girls team,

“The main thing is we need to wstay healthy and improve throughout the season,” Hastings said. ■ Eagles cross country Cade Berry

“We have good experience back in defensive backfield and linebacker,” Keleher said. “We will be younger and less experienced on the offensive and defensive lines.” As the team grows, Keleher wants them to work towards the ultimate sectional goal.

“As always, our goal is to win the Class B title, be competitive and have a winning season,” he said. “Finding successful player combinations on the offensive and defensive lines and getting those units to play well will be a key. Getting the juniors and sophomores who moved up, up to the speed of the varsity game will also be key.” Along with Senecal, Talon Bushey, Jason Moore, Seth Atwood, Aidan Stone, Brandon Fox and Tim Varano will be looked at for team leadership. ■

PHS looks to compete in Class B SPORTS EDITOR

“Through our competitive drills we are increasing our fitness levels (speed, agility and vertical jumps), preparing us physically to perform in the fourth or fifth game situations,” McMillan said. “The girls see the importance of being physically stronger than our opponents. Much of our training is also done through the weight room and on court drill conditioning.”

“Our overall goal is to perfect our basic volleyball skills with little errors,” said Hileman. “Once our basics are perfected, increased court confidence will come. We’ve shifted from being an offensive powerhouse team (like years past) to a more of a defensive team. We plan to develop a solid serve receive rotation that will allow our setters to develop a rhythm to feed out hitters.”

“The athletes have already responded well to our coaching adjustments and we have seen great improvements in preseason,” Reif said. “There is no time wasted in preseason and every minute is used to rep practice.”

“We would like to continue our volleyball tradition here at Beekmantown,” Reif said. “Our goal is to practice each day like a sectional volleyball match. We plan through our competitive practices and games to have a dominate, consistent team to perform in sectionals.”

PLATTSBURGH HIGH SCHOOL

HORNETS

Training key for young Hornets By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The Plattsburgh High School varsity gymnastics team will be a young roster, but full of athletes ready to compete in the 2017 regular season. “We have a young team with only one senior,” coach Janice Trudeau said. “However, we have several gymnasts who train throughout the year. This will help them to be successful.”

With a group of athletes who have been preparing for a new season, Trudeau wants to set their sites on maximizing the points they can earn in each discipline. “Our goal is to increase our difficulty especially in our dance component of our routines,” Trudeau said. “We also will need to work hard on bars to increase our skill level as well as develop more bar workers within the team. Strength, conditioning and skill training is our main focus.”

The Hornet’s line senior, Madison Baker, leads a team which took two of the top three podium positions at last year’s Section VII championships.

“Again this year we will lean on senior Madison Baker who was second place in the all-around for Section VII last season,” Trudeau said. “Madison is a hard worker, a great role model and a born leader so we will look to her to lead the team. Freshman Morgan Hughes is returning as the third place all-around finisher. She will be a great asset to the team. Other all around gymnast who will make strong contributions include Mikayla Karkoski, Dakota Tender and Christine Bresnahan. In addition, we have Gianna Coryea, who was injured last preseason and unable to compete. We have big expectations that she will be a big contributor to our team.” Overall, Trudeau said the amount of work her team puts in on the practice will determine their success.

PLATTSBURGH | The Plattsburgh High School varsity girl’s soccer program will look to improve form last season, with a “solid core” of players returning, said coach Tim Mulligan.

“We return a solid core of from a 2016 team that finished .500. In the back, Mica Beatham and Hanna Duquette return. along with, Elisa Rodriguez in the midfield, and Brina Micheels and Meghan Sullivan up front. Brina and Meghan were the teams top scorers a year ago.”

Along with proven players, Mulligan said there will be several roles for newcomers to fill.

“Delaney McCormick looks to fill the shoes of graduate Alyssa Salls in goal,” Mulligan said. “While young talents Paige Murray, Madeleine Woodward, and Nell Porter are looking to make big contributions.” Mulligan said the team is preparing for the Division I road ahead.

“Division 1 of the NSL should be a battle again as Beekmantown, Saranac, NCCS, and Peru should all be tough competition, while Saranac Lake looks to be improved and AVCS is always a tough opponent,” he said. ■ LADY HORNETS SOCCER Hannah Glicksman 12 Mica Beatham 12 Hanna Duquette 12

Lady Indians set to defend

Indians hope for title By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PERU | Last season, the Peru varsity volleyball team fought rival Beekmantown down to the wire on CVAC and Class B play.

This year, the Indians return a trio of players who they hope help the team to claim the top spot in both.

By Keith Lobdell

“We have a strong set of returners from last year,” coach Mary Ann Lake said. “Olivia Bousquet, Isabel Martin and Marie Higgins all saw considerable court time last year and will be expected to show leadership this year.”

SPORTS EDITOR

PERU | Your the defending Section VII champion, there isn’t a senior on your roster and the three-time defending sectional all-around champion is a sophomore. Life’s good for the Peru varsity gymnastics team.

“Our team strength this season will definitely be our depth as we have 10 strong starters on every event,” said coach Krista Brown, who is joined by fellow coach Brett LeClair. The Indians will look to win the sectional title for the fourth year in a row, with sophomore Delaney Brown anchoring the team after winning the Section VII all-around title her seventh through ninth grade seasons.

But that is not all the state-level talent the defending champs return as Allie Timmons, Kira Fisher, Olivia Tarabula, Alandra Geboand Rylee Desso all went to the NYSPHSAA meet last season. The team also returns eighth grader Jenna Swyers. A trio of newcomers are also looking to make their mark on the squad in Madeline Witkiewicz, McKalyie Taylor and Kennedy Beyer.

“In preseason we work to improve our strength and flexibility,” Brown said about the upcoming season. “We also try to perfect the skills we will need for the upcoming season, and we create routines for bars, beam, and floor. We want to work together as a cohesive group, stay focused and competitive for the entire season, win the 2017 Sectional meet, have fun, and help our senior athletes have a successful final season as Peru gymnasts.” ■ LADY INDIANS GYMNASTICS Alaina Bazzano 12 Emily Beaudette 12 Kira Fisher 12

Lake said the team is using the preseason to learn roles and develop communication skills. “Developing a team chemistry where every athlete is confident in their role on the team has been a key in the preseason,” Lake said. “Our year will be a success if we successfully defend our Saranac Tournament title and finish at or near the top of the CVAC.” ■ INDIANS VOLLEYBALL Erin Sears Marie Higgins

PERU | Midway through the 2016 season, the Peru varsity football team threw the switch.

After defeating Ticonderoga for its lone loss of the regular season, the Indians then went on to claim the Class B title with a win over Beekmantown. For 2017, the Indians hope they can start the momentum earlier and keep it going through the playoffs.

“Our strength will be our young athletic players,” coach Ryon O’Connell said. “We will build on our speed and quickness throughout the year. Our team goal is to get better every day and hope we can compete in the playoffs.” O’Connell said there are a few players he will look to in order to help lead the team.

“Ryley O’Connell returns as the starting QB and performed much better in the second half of the season,” O’Connell said. “Jordan Hayes returns as a two-way starter on the line, Robert Reynolds returns as a receiver and middle linebacker, while Matt Latinville returns on the lines.” Competition will be a key in each practice for the team, to get the prepared for the nine week CVAC season which ends in Clintonville.

Coach: Krista Brown

Jillian Rose

“We need to compete every day in practice against each other and focus on our individual assignments and team goals,” O’Connell said. “We need to come together as one cohesive unit and keep improving each day. Our year will be a success if we can learn quickly (very few seniors) and our younger players grow throughout the season.” ■

Indians seek repeat By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PERU | In perhaps one of the most thrilling sectional runs in recent history, the Peru varsity boy’s soccer team claimed the Class B championship before falling to a talented Ichabod Crane team in the regionals.

This year, the Indians return a bulk of players as they seek to defend their sectional title and look for a deeper run in states. James Blaise, Jessy Dick, Justin LaPorte and Gavin Plimpton were losy to graduation, but many return, including keeper Tyler Robinson along with Noah Lederman, Gabe Nuzzo and LJ Nuzzo. “We are woking on developing a physical presence on the field and striving to win the Division and advance through Sectional play,” coach Matthew Armstrong said. “We have a large group of returning players mixed with the addition of a few key newcomers to the varsity level.” Armstrong said the key to preseason will be working on players in new leadership positions as well as developing chemistry with the new players on the squad. The team is also looking to play more in the offensive third.

“We are striving to develop a more potent offensive attack that puts more balls in the back of the net,” Armstrong said. ■

SARANAC | The Lady Chiefs varsity soccer team will rely on senior leadership to be a force in Division I of the Northern Soccer League in 2017.

SARANAC | Saranac varsity girl’s volleyball coach Mary LaDuke hopes her players will open their mouths as they start the 2017 CVAC season.

Shawna Pellerin, Kayla Dandurand and Taylor Byerly will be the captains for coach Mary LoTmplio’s 2017 squad, which also includes seniors Taylor Alexander, Skye O’Connell, Jenna Reil, Ali Plumadore, Shayna White and Makenzie Czora. “With our senior leadership, we want to work hard and be competitive in order to contend in the playoffs this season,” LoTemplio said. ■

SARANAC | The Saranac Chiefs will rely on a core of experienced players as they seek to end the season atop Division I in the Northern Soccer League, as well as hoisting the Class B crown.

“We are a well-balanced team with depth on the bench,” said coach Tom Harrigan. “We want to be one of the top teams in the section and go above a .500 record.” Harrigan said there are key players for the Chiefs in the attacking and defensive thirds of the field. “Shayne O’Neill loves to find the back of the net for us,” he said. “Preston Boliver as a sweeper will be strong on defense and Cameron Duffield will be tough in net.

Harrigan said the team will have a successful season if they continue to work hard and commit to playing that way starting with game one. ■ CHIEFS SOCCER Preston Boliver 12 Jack Drolet 12 Dylan Goddeau-Duprey 12

LaDuke said communication will be key for the Chiefs this season, and credits it as one of the strengths of the team. “We will also be strong with serving and depth,” LaDuke said. “Our goals are to be focused, work hard and communicate with each other.”

Elizabeth Trudeau returns to anchor the Chiefs offense from the setter position, while Kylee Wiedman and Maddie Hoeth look to play strong this season.

LaDuke did say her team will be learning a new offence and defense this season, and will have to meet their goals in order to be successful as a team. ■ LADY CHIEFS VOLLEYBALL Amber Caron Nikki Donah Cynthia Ducatte

Chiefs look to stay in control in cross country CHIEFS CROSS COUNTRY

go to states and place.”

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

SARANAC | The Chiefs varsity cross country teams want to keep the momentum going from a sweep of every sectional championship they were in last season. Coach Jim Medeiros

said both teams are ready to work hard for both the CVAC and Section VII titles this season.

“The boys want to continually improve during the season and park during the championship week,” Mederios said. “The girls should have a chance to be great through the sectional meet and

Mederios feels three things are key as the team regroups in the preseason.

“Hard work,dedication and determination,” he said. “Our boys will be successful if we put ourselves in a position to have a_legit chance to win sectionals, while the grils are win sectionals and run at a high level at the state_meet ■

Andrew lepage, Justin Burdo and Sam Carter afre expected to lead rhw boys team, while the Lady Chiefs will have a lineup of Rachael Woodruff, Elise Lepage, Heather Dutko, Julia Drolet,, Caitlyn Cliché, Jessica Dormann and Sarique Moore — the projected top seven for the squad.

Plattsburgh ‘Bed Races’ return

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

Over 30 teams to compete for cash, ‘golden bed pan’ at annual Lake City race By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | If you need a reason to wear pajamas in public, the Plattsburgh Sunrise Rotary Club has the answer.

Over 30 teams will push rolling beds through the streets of downtown Plattsburgh next Saturday in hopes of winning a prize — whether it be cash or the cherished “golden bed pan.” “We don’t think we will catch anybody sleeping with this exciting race and the top prize of $500,” Vicki Marking, an organizer for the event, said in a news release. Teams are encouraged to wear their best themed-garb for a chance at additional prizes.

“We are also looking for the team with the best themeentered bed, which could net a team the ‘Golden Bed Pan,’ along with $150,” Marking said. Second place finishers will win $250; third place, $100.

Teams of seven will push their bed, one rider on top, down a 30 yard stretch of street before doubling back.

“Seems simple, but it all depends on teams working together,” said Linda Brienza, an organizer, in a news release. “We’ll see what teams will be able to keep their beds in motion and the rider intact.”

It’s not too late to enter: entry forms, rules — and yes, a waiver — are still available online. The deadline to apply is Sept. 8 at 5 p.m.

The 8th annual Plattsburgh Sunrise Rotary Bed Races are slated for Sept. 9 at 11 a.m. For more information, visit plattsburghrotary.org. The Bed Races are just one of several events on tap next weekend as part of the city of Plattsburgh’s annual Battle of Plattsburgh commemoration celebration.

From Sept. 7-10, dozens of history-themed events are on tap throughout the Lake City. A parade has been set for Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. As with the Mayor’s Cup earlier this year, a myriad of live shows are slated. The first-ever Rooster Relay, a 1.2 mile run through downtown Plattsburgh, is set for Sept. 10. Battle of Plattsburgh buttons, which count as admission for events held at the Strand Theater, City Hall and the Kent Delord House Museum, will be available for purchase for $15 each at a number of locations downtown. ■

A historic marker near the Church of Assumption was dedicated during the Town of Saranac’s annual 15th of Redford celebration last month. The marker, which was covered through the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, honors the 162-year-old town tradition, along with the 1890s-era Armitage-Herchell carousel. The 15th of Redford, also known as the Redford Picnic, started in 1855 when the Church of Assumption was dedicated. Back then, the celebration was a simple feast of roast beef made by the ladies of the church. Photo provided

City beach sees visitation decline Stormy early-season weather cuts into beach revenue

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The Plattsburgh City Beach has seen a decline in visitors to the tune of over 4,000 people so far this year.

That’s the update Councilman Peter Ensel (Ward 4) gave the Plattsburgh Common Council last week, courtesy of Recreation Superintendent Steve Peters.

Year to date, 12,308 city and town of Plattsburgh residents have visited the beach — one of the longest freshwater beaches in the country. That’s down from 14,741 last year, around the same time.

“It’s directly correlated to the rainy weather early in the season,” Peters told The Sun. “That’s where the drop is.”

The beach has net $47,685 in revenue as of last Thursday, according to Peters. Even though the beach was forced to close three times last year due to water contamination, this year’s revenue is down from $52,008 around the same time last year.

APARTMENT FOR RENT

Though city and town of Plattsburgh residents can visit the beach for free, Canadian visitors have used the facility far more in the past few years. “I’d say that 50 percent of our visitation is Canadians,” said Peters. “That’s been the average for a long time.” Peters attributes this to Plattsburgh’s proximity to Montreal:

“We’re an hour south of three million people,” Peters said. “It’s clearly related to that. There are no places immediately near Montreal that have this kind of recreation. “We’re happy to provide that for them.”

Last year, 16,548 Canadians utilized the Plattsburgh City Beach. This year, that number has declined to 14,198. City and town of Plattsburgh residents can obtain a pass to the city beach at the city beach ticket booth or the Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department, respectively.

For non-city residents, a pass can be purchased for $45 at the ticket booth. Day fees range from $1-8 depending on your mode of transportation and time of visit. ■
