State grant to transform North Country Co-op

Local grocery to spend nearly $500,000 to renovate, update space Elizabeth Izzo

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Jeremiah Ward is standing in an alleyway in downtown Plattsburgh, and he’s excited.

The once cluttered and dirty alleyway behind the North Country Co-op on Bridge Street has recently been cleaned, and Ward, project leader for the co-op, has big plans for the space.

The downtown store will soon “be putting in the works” as Ward puts it, adding more cooler space, a new prep area and increasing shelf space (from 24 to 35). This is part of phase

Recognizing

one of the business’ plans, where they will use a $106,000 loan from the cooperative fund of New England, a $50,000 loan from the City of Plattsburgh and $44,000 from their reserves to buy the equipment for the renovations.

“Starting in January, we’ll be shutting off parts of our store,” said Ward. “We will be trying to stay operational during the whole process.”

The second phase includes renovations to the store’s facade, which have been made possible a huge influx of capital.

That includes a $218,000 state grant awarded through the New York Main Street program, an initiative that provides financial resources to communities to strengthen “economic vitality,” and $72,000 in member loans to serve as the mandated matching component to the grant.

theÊ DSPÕ s Advocacy & Resource Center direct support professionals give inside scoop on day-to-day routine, future

PLATTSBURGH — Each day at the Advocacy & Resource Center is a new adventure for Brandon VanStockum.

VanStockum, an employment specialist, works for the ARC’s Employment Services Workforce Network, where deTeah velopmentally-disabled persons come in, Dowling gain skills and learn how to obtain emWriter ployment.

Some days, VanStockum helps the job seekers how to write resumes or present themselves during an interview. Other times, he checks in with the now integrated employees working in places such as McDonald’s, SUNY Plattsburgh and Walmart.

“Our goal is to get them out of here and out into the community,” he said. “But here is where we show them how to start.”

The Advocacy & Resource Center serves over 500 developmentally-disabled individuals in Clinton County through several different programs, which are overseen by direct support professionals.

Painting the Town

Outside Arts and North Country Co-Op team up to transform Plattsburgh alleyway Elizabeth Izzo

Elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The folks behind Plattsburgh’s run of new murals, “Outside Art,” are back at it again with their fifth project in two years.

The group will begin construction of their new mural outside of the North Country Food Co-op on Sept. 12.

In a city previously “starved for art,” according to Joshua Kretser, Ward 4 councilmember and executive director of the Strand Theater, the Outside Art project is working swiftly to make the arts accessible in Plattsburgh.

CLAIMING SPACES The $5,000 mural, which will be funded half through the Clinton County Board of Legislators and half through community donations, will appear in an alleyway behind the North Country Co-Op on Bridge Street.

The individuals behind this new project are Julie Devine and Amy Guglielmo, co-directors of Outside Art, and Jeremiah Ward, project leader for the North Country Co-Op. On the project’s Indiegogo page, where Ward, Devine and Guglielmo are raising money from community donors, they said that alleyways like the one behind the co-op are being revitalized all over the country.

This new trend can add beauty and culture to formerly overlooked areas, according to organizers.

“Maybe because we as a community have turned our back on alleyway spaces for so long, it may not seem like there’s a lot of potential,” said Ward.

“But we’re claiming space for people,” said Devine.

The idea was born from a casual meeting, Ward said, that planted a seed that would eventually grow into the current project.

“It was an organic process,” said Devine. “We’re all involved in making the downtown area a more livable space.”

The mural will feature artwork by Gharan Burton, a Caribbean artist now living in Plattsburgh who had an exhibition at the Strand last month.

“He uses very vibrant colors and blends, Dominica styles with North Country scenes,” Ward said.

Burton’s sketches depict a farm scene, complete with workers in straw hats harvesting vibrant veggies, to fit in with the theme of the co-op. He is set to complete this mural in one month, with an unveiling planned for mid-October.

Ward says that this new mural on the wall of the North Country Food Co-op will be unlike any other, because the building is like any other.

“Something special about this building, as opposed to other buildings in the area, is that every member of the co-op is a co-owner of the building,” said Ward. “Over 2,200 people own

this wall.”

ARTS TOURISM Kretser says that he believes murals completed by Outside Arts will positively impact the downtown area.

“Julia Devine has been able to assemble a fantastic team to bring art and visual interest to downtown Plattsburgh,” said Kretser. “The Outside Art project will attract people downtown and get people involved in city beautification projects and the arts.”

Guglielmo said that the downtown area is a completely different experience from uptown.

“Here, people want to chill,” she said. “They linger, they discover.” She says that 5 to 10 years from now, she believes that the downtown area will have a vibrant and active community.

“We want more alleyways and more spaces for people to hang out.”

Kretser believes that people are starting to see that with investment in arts sees action and change. “People are more willing to invest in the arts now, they’re stopping and asking how to get involved,” he said. “Up until ‘Outside Art,’ people haven’t felt engaged.”

Devine agrees, adding that ‘Outside Art’ can open the door to engaging with so much more.

Guglielmo added that maybe after seeing one of the murals, residents and visitors will be more apt to go to a show, an exhibit or an art class. “These murals tell people who are coming here from elsewhere that we’re interested in that engagement.”

Devine says that sometimes she will come downtown, and it will seem like there’s no one around. “I want to come here and see it alive.”

LOCALS SKEPTICAL Residents have taken to the Co-op’s Facebook page to post their reservations regarding the placement of the mural.

“Put the mural on the front of the building so more people can enjoy it,” said John Seiden, in a Facebook comment.

“Where is this?” Alyssa Renee asked in another comment. “Is this the really secluded alley behind the co-op that also has Irises on the other side … the one that no one sees?”

Ward argued that it could easily be seen by residents. The alley can be seen from City Hall Place and the banks of the Saranac River, said Ward. He added that while they would love to put it on the front of the building, the New York Main Street grant the business recently received for its interior renovations rules out that option.

Local orchards seeing smaller apples this fall Hot and dry conditions could mean shorter picking season, but better apples, say producers

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, but it might fall off sooner than normal.

Several North Country orchards are seeing smaller apples this season due to the droughtlike conditions that have characterized the summer.

During the harvest process, many orchard staff said they noticed smaller fruit, including Banker Orchards in Plattsburgh, where fewer cooler nights have shrunk their Macintosh apples.

Owner Nina Sullivan isn’t concerned about the size decrease. In fact, she believes, in a sense, that it’s a good thing.

“People don’t want a great big apple,” she said. “And medium size apples keep longer and taste better.”

The flipside, she said, is that the apples fall from the trees quicker, creating a shorter picking season.

Both Banker Orchards and Rulfs Orchard in Peru just started their U-Pick season, where anyone can go out into the fields and pick their own fruit.

Typically, Sullivan said, people prefer to pick from the trees, not the ground, so depending on if the dry spell lasts, that could affect how long the picking season will go on for.

The heat also affects the ripeness and color of the fruit.

Rulfs Orchard Produce Manager Linda Facteau said when they started picking earlier this month, they noticed that more apples than normal were still green.

In order to get that red blush color, Facteau said sunny, but cool, days and nights are necessary.

More rain, she said, would also be helpful.

Despite the recent challenges, orchard staff are optimistic of having a good season.

Debbie Everett of Everett Orchards said they’ll have enough of their European cider apples to make their hard cider.

Facteau said despite the smaller size, Rulfs Orchard has been witnessing many people going out and picking apples.

“If we got some rain, it would help, but I haven’t seen anything in the forecast,” Sullivan said.

“It is what it is, but at least we have apples.”

Peru’s Applefest in full bloom for this weekend

Annual community event highlights past, looks toward future

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PERU — Lifelong resident Dorina Falvo has been to every Applefest celebration since it started 39 years ago.

Playing Go Fish, eating fried bread dough and watching the parade with her family were some of Falvo’s fondest memories as a kids, in which she relives each year.

Now, Falvo is running the show this weekend as chair of the 39th annual St. Augustine’s Applefest, which she believes will be “bigger and better” than ever before.

The festivities will start 11 a.m. on Saturday with a parade, said St. Augustine’s Parish Receptionist Robin Brousseau, surrounded by miles of apple fields.

The train ride called Applefest Express, bouncy house and several new and traditional games will be available.

This year, Falvo is especially looking forward to the crystal pitch, an old-time favorite where participants receive 10 dimes and try to toss them into a glass bowl, cup or decoration.

Falvo is working on bringing back the ring toss for this weekend, along with new vendors.

When Applefest first started, there were no craft vendors.

Now, there’s around 50 and the number, Falvo said, keeps growing each day.

On Saturday, there will be performances by the Plattsburgh Pipe and Drum Corps, SUNY Plattsburgh Gospel Choir and

Bootleg Band. On Sunday, the Movin’ On Band will take the stage.

Along with games and live entertainment, guests can indulge in a number of delectable goodies.

There will be a chicken BBQ Sunday afternoon, along with cakes, cotton candy and, of course, apples throughout the two-day celebration.

Falvo’s all-time favorite apple offering is the apple fritter: freshly sliced apples dipped in pancake-like batter, deep fried and tossed in cinnamon sugar mix.

Candy apples and caramel apples show up every once in a while, weather depending, but Rulfs Orchard’s apple cider and freshly-baked apple pies are always available.

“The apple fritters are to die for and the apple cider goes really quickly,” Falvo said. “All the food is great; it always has been.”

In years to come, Falvo hopes to continue these traditions and create new ones by trying different activities, coming up with new ideas and bringing in younger folks to keep the annual event going for years to come.

“Every year I’ve watched this event grow and I want my kids to be able to enjoy it like I have when they grow up,” she said. “This isn’t just an event — it’s a family reunion.”

The 39th annual St. Augustine’s Applefest will take place Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sunday, Sept. 18. All proceeds will go toward St. Augustine’s Parish in Peru. For more information or to volunteer, call Falvo at 518-420-2125.

Funiciello calls for hemp legislation Legalizing industrial hemp production will bolster the local economy, says the Green Party candidate for NY21

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — Legalize it, says the Green Party candidate attempting to unseat Rep. Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District.

Matt Funiciello last week said he supports a bill that would remove industrial hemp from being classified as a controlled substance.

Passage of the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015 would pave the way for normalized production of the plant across the country, said the candidate, a measure he said would jumpstart the local economy and aid local farmers.

“I do think the time has come on a national level to recognize that legalizing hemp and marijuana would benefit small farmers and our often-struggling and ignored rural economies,” said Funiciello, a Glens Falls cafe owner.

Industrial hemp has the potential to be used in 25,000 products, he said.

Even with restrictions on domestic cultivation, hemp was still a $500 million industry, Funiciello said, citing a 2015 Congressional Report.

Hemp is allowed to be grown for research purposes, as authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill.

Funiciello called the measure a “timid step.”

“Let’s eliminate that ambiguity, and help rebuild the infrastructure needed to make hemp a thriving, multi-billion dollar industry that could help working small farmers in the United States,” he said.

Funiciello noted Stefanik was not a co-sponsor of the bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican.

Asked where Stefanik stands on the proposed legislation, a campaign spokesman cited Stefanik’s votes on two spending bills.

Citing the 2015 Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Bill, the spokesman said Stefanik has supported measures in the past to “not prohibit funds from flowing to states when they implement their own laws regarding industrial hemp.”

The spokesman also cited the lawmaker’s vote on last year’s omnibus bill, which contained a provision to “not allow funds to be used to prohibit the transportation, processing, sale or use of industrial

hemp.”

Mike Derrick, the Democratic candidate, said while he was aware of the provisions contained within the 2014 Farm Bill, he was unaware of Rep. Massie’s bill.

“I will have to look at that piece [Funiciello] refers to more closely,” Derrick said.

Derrick said agricultural production is “absolutely essential” to the district’s economic livelihood, citing the dairy and apple industries alongside the emerging farm-to-fork, craft beer and wine sectors.

If elected, Derrick said he would work closely with state and local agencies to “support these very important elements of society.”

According to an Associated Press report, 29 states have authorized hemp research, and the crop is being grown this year on 6,900 acres nationwide.

The subsequent hemp can be sold for profit, but only if producers are authorized to do so by their state’s agriculture authorities.

In New York, a bill authorizing the sale, distribution, transportation and processing of industrial hemp passed both houses of the state legislature in June.

NY21: Candidates launch ads, firm up debate schedule First of three scheduled debates set for Oct. 3 on Time Warner Cable

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — There will be at least three debates for New York’s 21st Congressional District race.

They include a televised Time Warner Cable debate on Oct. 3; the Adirondack Chamber and Glens Falls EDC Candidates Forum on Oct. 17 or 18, and a televised Mountain Lake PBS Debate on Oct. 24.

Further details and information will be announced once finalized, said Rep. Elise Stefanik’s campaign office, who announced the schedule.

“I’m proud of my strong, bipartisan record of real results for North Country families and small businesses, for our veterans and our farmers, and for everyone across the North Country,” said Stefanik in a statement. “That’s why I’m looking forward to exchanging views with both of my opponents. I’m confident these important events will better inform voters of their choices on Election Day.” Stefanik, a Republican first elected in 2014, is defending her seat against Democratic candidate Mike Derrick, a retired army colonel from Peru, and Matt Funiciello, a Glens Falls cafe owner who is running on the Green Party line.

“I’m greatly looking forward to it,” Derrick told the Sun.

“It’ll be my opportunity to present a picture to the voters in side-by-side real time comparison.”

Derrick said his campaign has been going “remarkably well.” Since declaring his candidacy last July, he said he has held court in 75 living rooms, often facing tough questions from voters, experience he said has sharpened his debate skills.

“I’ve been preparing for 14 months,” said Derrick. “Literally hundreds of hours on discussions with voters on things that matter.”

For Funiciello, debates offer voters a useful unscripted platform.

“It’s a chance to see if the candidates are all machine, or actually have heart, passion and brain to go with their soundbites,” said Funiciello.

But, the candidate said, the compressed format of debates often reduces discussion to “90-second soundbites.”

Forums are far more substantive, he said, because they provide for more audience interaction.

Funiciello said there should be more debates, between 8 and 10, and also lamented the length of political campaigns.

“I really feel like a congressional campaign, any political campaign, should be a much shorter period of time,” he said.

AD BUYS

Both Stefanik and Derrick have started running television advertisements across the district.

In her first, which hit the airwaves earlier this month, Stefanik extols the virtues of bipartisanship, citing her legislative efforts since taking office, including legislation passed to support caregivers for wounded veterans.

“A lot of people talk about bipartisanship, few actually practice it,” Stefanik said.

Derrick introduced a pair of ads at the height of the presidential nominating process in July directly criticizing Stefanik for her vote to fast-track the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The first-time candidate’s latest, rolled out last week, highlights his military service, and says he will “stand up to a rigged system” and “unfair trade deals.”

Neither Stefanik or Derrick mentioned their partisan affiliations in the 30-second slots.

“In the army, we didn’t ask about political party or cater to special interests,” Derrick said. “We got the job done, put people first, and that’s what I’ll do in Congress.”

Funiciello told the Sun that his campaign hasn’t been able to afford television buys.

He remained undeterred.

“I’m reaching to voters who don’t make their decision based on a 30-second advertisement on TV,” Funiciello said.

Voters head to the polls on Nov. 8.

Freedom is a choice

ast weekend, we were reminded once again what our freedom means and the price we pay to live freely, believe freely, and share the nation we love.

Fifteen years have passed since that dreadful, bright sunny day in September when the evil reach of terror sought to bring our nation to its knees.

Freedom in its full practice is easy to take for granted or be taken to extremes when we disrespect others by putting personal choices and desires before the collective good of all.

We are witnessing so much anger, disrespect and even hatred today as we head into the upcoming elections. Racial and political divides are causing mistrust and leading to outlandish accusations further fueling the divide, reaching into neighborhoods and even families.

We can get so wrapped up in the noise that we easily forget how valuable and precious our freedom really is.

We must never lose sight of our collective goal to live as a free people, nor let those who choose to distort that goal, drive wedges between us.

Only then will we risk reliving a costly lesson from the past, when we really recognize the threat that could cost us freedom we value.

There is no question that this nation has flaws and there are those among us who take advantage of those flaws for their own personal gain. Human nature by design will never be perfect but that’s where the dream of our founding fathers must help to guide us.

Using the sound foundations of freedom, justice and the sacrifices of so many through the centuries with the firm belief that all men are created equal and we are each endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, we must continue to persevere to further refine the nation.

The choices each of us face each day must serve to further improve the nation, not just when we are in peril, but even when we are wrapped up in our daily lives.

It’s not often that we are called upon to save lives at the risk of our own but our country is shaped as much by the way we treat each other everyday as it is when we perform extraordinary feats under unique circumstances.

Unselfish gestures and daily acts of kindness are choices we make that help define the nature of our country and help us differentiate the USA from lands where freedom of expression are regulated or outlawed by governmental control. It is up to each of us to do our part to exemplify the good we do with the freedom we enjoy.

‘Zombie home’ legislation a step in the right direction

“Zombie homes,” the abandoned properties left unmaintained during foreclosure proceedings, are a plague on neighborhoods.

Like the undead, these buildings are left to rot and fester, befouling the neighborhood in the process.

Every town has them.

While the worst of the housing crisis is behind us, municipalities have long sought to drive a stake through the heart of what officials often say are among the most frustrating concerns haunting local governance.

After all, localities cannot demolish empty structures that do not belong to them.

They cannot force a sale. And in all but the most extenuating circumstances, they cannot go in and maintain the properties.

As such, these homes exist in a state of limbo, dragging down neighboring property values, and acting as magnets for crime and vandalism, in the process.

That is until now, with the passage of sweeping new state legislation signed by the governor this summer.

This comprehensive legislative package finally gives local governments the tools to take action.

First, the new law gives code enforcement officers the authority to assess the properties to determine if they are abandoned.

Once that designation has been made, municipalities can force banks to maintain these homes at the risk of significant fines.

Prior to the legislation, mortgage owners only absorbed that responsibility once the foreclosure process had been completed, a lengthy and drawn-out process.

The law, signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in June, also contains provisions to strengthen foreclosure prevention services, which will aid those most vulnerable by the still-anemic economy from losing their homes.

And in the event that the home is foreclosed upon, the legislation requires a foreclosing party to move swiftly to put the home back on the auction block and reoccupied within just a few short months.

Components tailored for urban areas include housing and homelessness prevention plans and grant programs designed to offer low- and middle-income homebuyers incentives to rehabilitate these homes, many of which are in profound disrepair.

We’re already starting to see results.

Officials around the region are reporting demolitions in their communities. And

in some cases, mortgage owners are also reportedly letting these properties go for a song — presumably so they won’t get fined for letting these problem parcels fall further into decay.

The governor, the attorney general and the state legislature were wise to recognize the issue and take swift action to reverse the damage. They deserve to be commended.

While the legislation isn’t a cure-all — the property market in upstate New York remains troubled — it’s a critical step in the right direction.

Now that the state has done their part, it’s time for local officials to step to the plate.

The law is effectively toothless unless those on the ground familiarize themselves with this legislation and effectively wield it in their communities.

Hopefully they’ll take the initiative to do so.

EssexÊ CountyÊ couldÊ faceÊ bankruptcyÊ if Ê unableÊ toÊ serviceÊ debt To the Editor: I can only wonder just what “thinking” goes on over in Elizabethtown.

Recently, there was a story that the county needs to hire an “outside firm” to speed up title searches. It seems that this needs to be done to expedite the sale of the growing list of tax-delinquent properties.

First of all, nobody seems to know just why the county needs to search titles of lands that have been owned and taxed for decades. Perhaps somebody needs to call Assemblywoman Janet Duprey and ask her about the litigation from the time when she was the treasurer of Clinton County.

Then perhaps somebody might call the Columbia County Treasurer and ask why Columbia County charges almost $400 per parcel and track down the state law that allows all this absurdity.

It’s bad enough that Mr. Diskin thinks it’s quite OK to charge credit card rates (left over from the early 1980 Volker recession) and penalties when many banks are paying pennies of interest on every thousand dollars and in

A

some places there are even negative (“The Weird New Normal of Negative Interest Rates,” foreignpolicy.com) interest rates.

What the supervisors continue to fail to do is address the failing local economy and address some of the perks that skew what little money is left in the hands of local citizens, like the bed tax, the grossly inefficient bus services and a host of other wasteful things, like the recent cyber insurance policy, the $10,000 study on the parking lot (“Report: To overhaul radio system, Essex County must make millions in improvements,” by Lohr McKinstry) at the Lewis Jail for state police.

For example, in 2002, Lohr McKinstry reported that the county would need to spend some $3.5 million on the new radio system. As I recall, this has now jumped to almost $20 million and with some clever back room financing, become a windfall for some local bankers.

I doubt the county understands that if somebody gets lucky and goes to court to challenge the many defective tax sales over the past two decades, that Essex County could face bankruptcy as it would be unable to service the debt on the radio system bonds, make financial amends for decades of tax sale abuses and operate the county budget.

ENDORSEMENT POLICY

s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-

dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75.

A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COMMENTARY

BikingÊ capitalÊ mantraÊ notÊ likedÊ To the Editor: How is it possible to write about the “Biking Capital of the Adirondacks,” as Kim Dedam did in your Sept. 3 issue, without soliciting the views of a single full-time resident of the town not profiting, or connected in other ways, with the tourism industry?

Do the opinions of those insignificant taxpayers matter at all? (Actually, in so far as the administration of the town is concerned, they most certainly do not, because, as every permanent resident of Wilmington is well-aware, the tourist bureau is the town ... the tail that wags the dog however it damn well pleases.)

I don’t know any wealthy motel owners, nor do I know anyone profiting from the bicycle racket, but everyone I do know, mostly ordinary working people, hate what’s happened to our formerly quiet and pleasant town as much as I do.

Two of my best friends have sold their houses and moved for this explicit reason—they could no longer bear the aggravations of living in the “Biking Capital of the Adirondacks.”

Why not send Kim Dedam back to talk to some of us?

Clarence Andersen Wilmington

TrumpÊ supportersÊ treatedÊ likeÊ Ô run-of-the-millÊ bigotsÕ To the Editor: Bigot: A person of strong conviction or prejudice especially in matters of religion, race, or politics who is intolerant of those who differ with him.

Xenophobe: A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of strangers or foreigners, especially as reflected in his political or cultural views.

These words are tossed into personal attacks quite often these days initiated by the liberal left and media towards conservatives who disagree with them.

Yet is it not true that Hillary, progressive liberals, and the liberal media led by NBC/MSNBC have a strong conviction of intolerance towards Donald Trump and other conservatives who differ with them? Is this not political bigotry?

Is an American guilty of religious bigotry if they express concern and seek redress about radical extremist Muslims coming to our country to kill us? It’s not Christians, Jews, or voodoo cults — it’s mad killers declaring themselves to be Muslims killing for the faith.

It’s not a handful, they are not the JV team, and we need not be tolerant of this. Strong conviction or prejudice against mad killers is OK. Racial bigotry and slavery have been in the entire world since tribal warfare began and still exists. There’s nothing good about it. It’s been applied towards most races at some point of history.

They accuse Trump of being a xenophobe. I won’t speak for Trump, but I’m contemptuous of foreigners who came here illegally not because they are culturally different, but because they came here illegally and we are borrowing to pay for it.

One is not xenophobic for expecting our government to enforce laws which were intended to prevent aliens from coming here illegally, nor is one xenophobic for expecting people from very dangerous places to be properly vetted since they may include a few mad killers.

Shall more Americans die so we can avoid being thought xenophobic by political bigots?

The Clinton campaign and the liberal media now call Trump a psychopath who is mentally ill or unstable, yet the accusers sound like political bigots.

Is comparing an American presidential candidate to mass murderers like Stalin or Hitler a stable rational accusation?

No, it is not.

As with other words, the accuracy and context with which they’re used matters. It’d be helpful for us conservatives if the liberals would tell us what type of bigotry we’re assumed to be guilty of; religion, race, or politics. It’s so confusing to be labeled a general all purpose run-of-the-mill bigot.

BrushÊ upÊ onÊ yourÊ Russian To the Editor: I have to wonder if Trump supporter Bert Windle of Putnam Station is fluent in Russian.

After all, if Trump were to be elected, he and Putin being best friends, he will need a translator. Who knows Trump’s every intention.

There is no doubting that Windle is out making sure everyone knows Trump is an even-handed guy who only thinks of the welfare of others. This even in the face of those who he has swindled by not paying them for work they performed for him.

Surely these people are telling stories when they tell of how Trump refused to pay them as small businesses putting some out of business. Yes, Trump is the guy with the silver tongue and when he talks the Bert Windles of this world take notice and their hearts go flutter-flutter.

Those of us who see his rants as utter stupidity must have blinders on according to Mr. Windle. His reply to Joe DeMarco’s opinion letters was an example of what Trump would say to a WWII veteran.

In case anyone missed it, Mr. Windle started out by saying he thanked Joe for his service to our country and ended by saying “as for your incoherent and rambling messages I charge them off to your age!”

Mr. Windle, I have no idea of your age but after reading your reply I say shame on you. Windle stated that he was brought up to respect his elders but his words surely don’t show it.

I salute every veteran no mater their age or political leaning. God bless

America and Wars

you Joe and please continue to speak your mind, as you are responsible for letting the Bert Windles of this world speak theirs. As for Mr. Windle, brush up on your Russian as Trump will surely need your expertise.

If Trump were elected it would not be God Bless America but rather God Help America.

Why we never leave Glenn Mollette

TheÊ SunÊ shouldÊ beÊ moreÊ positive To the Editor: A more positive headline about the Otis Mt. Music Festival would have been, “2,000 Young People Coming to Elizabethtown for Otis Music Fest.”

A more accurate headline would have been, “Four of Six Businesses Report Positive Otis Economic Effects.”

It is hard to understand how the headline was that Otis has “little effect on business” when four of the six proprietors interviewed said it was good for their businesses. Plus, one of the “negative” comments, attributed to the newly re-opened Deer’s Head was simply stating a fact—that most attendees “stay at Otis.”

They do so because that’s where they camp, listen to music, and enjoy being with each other. Plus, staying there reduces risks posed by driving under the influence or encountering state police working to keep our roads safe.

The positive effects are much more than just this one weekend. How many of the 2,000 people who drive there through the Champlain Valley with its wonderful hiking trails, great biking roads, small farms, historic hamlets and rivers to paddle marvel at its beauty and come back to enjoy those features?

How many them think this might be a good place to live? If ½ of 1 percent decide to live here, that is 10 new young people moving here each year and that addresses the oft-stated problem of an “aging population” where the kids all move away.

The Sun serves an important role in our communities. Instead of reinforcing negative attitudes, it can foster a sense of optimism by presenting issues in a positive light. Especially when the fact is that the majority of business owners quoted in your article stated that Otis benefits their businesses.

Please, writers and editors of The Sun, give us accuracy and positiveness.

That will be good for businesses.

Simon Conroy carved out a win over George Dyer to capture the Democratic Party line in the Clinton County Legislature Area 4 race on Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2016.

Conroy << Continued from | p. 1

said Conroy, who attributed his victory to a people-powered movement.

“We had people go out on a limb for us during the endorsement process,” Conroy said. “They were brave to do that.”

Conroy will face Devi Momot in November’s general election.

The candidate, an organic farmer, said he looked forward to discussing economic issues in the run-up to the general election, including jobs, improving the quality of life, controlling the cost of living and working with local groups to market the county’s tourism assets.

“It was an aggressive race and some people are going to walk away upset,” Conroy said. “But the reality is we’re all the same team now.

“Devi Momot and I are friends. We intend to run a campaign that’s not a battle.”

Conroy said he has been in contact with Dyer, a retired state trooper, about law and order issues.

“He’s giving me some advice on how to improve some things with the sheriff ’s department and county jail,” Conroy said. “He’s got some expertise and he’s helping me to tackle some of those issues.”

Dyer said he spoke with Conroy and wished him well.

“He got his message across better than I did,” said Dyer, who shut the door on a third-party run.

“At this point, I’m not considering running on a third-party line. It would just take away from the Democratic vote,” Dyer said.

Outstanding absentee ballots have yet to be counted.

Unofficial results from the Clinton County Board of Elections on Wednesday revealed Momot netted four Conservative Party votes, with one write-in outstanding.

The return of the absentee ballots could hypothetically result in a tie.

“There were four issued, and we received three back,” Clinton County GOP Election Commissioner Greg Campbell said on Wednesday.

“They have until next Monday for the ballot to come back, but would have to be postmarked the Monday before the election.”

Four votes were cast on the Reform Party line, with Momot receiving one vote, with three write-ins.

And out of 62 total ballots cast for the Independence Party, there were 36 write-ins to Momot’s 26.

Absentee ballots will be counted on Sept. 20.

P

resident Obama said Tuesday the United States will spend $90 million over the next three years to clear unexploded bombs dropped on Laos during the Vietnam War. A decade ago we began spending $2.5 million a year to $15 million this year. During the Vietnam War America spent nine years bombing Laos with the goal of blocking supplies to Vietnam and fighting communist forces in northern Laos. Our bombing effort left ten of millions of unexploded cluster bombs. These bombs are about the size of a baseball.

During the nine-year bombing we conducted 580,000 missions over Laos and dropped over 270 million cluster bombs on this neutral country. An estimated 80 million of the cluster bombs failed to detonate and thousands have been killed since 1973 when we ended the bombing.

We need to clean our mess up in Laos. This is good news for that tiny country. It’s not so great news for America.

Our war expenditures continue to be bad news for America. $90 million dollars out the window for more International efforts. We have communities all over our country with dilapidated schools, outdated or unsafe water supplies, desperate economies and yet we take from our own people to spend more and more overseas.

How much more will we spend in Southeast Asia? The numbers are worse than horrific, 58,220 Americans died, 153,303 were wounded and 1,643 missing. It is estimated that up to 300,000 Vietnam Veterans committed suicide and approximately 700,000 soldiers suffered psychological trauma.

The Vietnam War cost us $168 billion, almost 100 billion in today’s dollars; this doesn’t include the $350 billion up to $900 billion in veterans’ benefits and interest. Because of the Vietnam War the American economy suffered. The 60s were a great economic growth time in this country that spiraled to an economic crisis in the 1970s.

Since Vietnam we have spent trillions on Iraq and Afghanistan. In just Iraq over 4,400 U.S. service personnel were killed directly. The numbers again are brutal, 32,223 troops were injured and 134,000 civilians killed directly. 655,000 persons died in Iraq since the invasion who would have not died if we had not have invaded the country. America spent $1.7 trillion dollars in war expenses. We gave $75 billion to American subcontracting companies, largest of all Halliburton. We aren’t done in Iraq. We still have military personnel deployed and some of our military leadership looks back and wishes we had kept a stronger presence. Therefore because of ISIS we will never leave Afghanistan.

It just seems like we can never really leave. How many places can we go and maintain an American military presence? Currently we have 662 military bases in 38 countries. Many of these bases are very small, yet we are there. How long can we really afford to maintain so much military and American efforts throughout the world? There is so much to do in America. I’m not anti helping other people but we are way overboard. We can’t afford to pay our retirees what we promised and we are in a medical crisis.

Helping Laos is not the wrong gesture. It just proves that we never really leave.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Are the arts still important?

W

hen signing into existence the National Endowment on the Arts, President Johnson said that “art is a nation’s most precious heritage.” He continued on to say that our works of art reveal to ourselves and to others the inner vision which guides us as a nation.

“And where there is no vision, the people perish,” he said.

Whether or not you share President Johnson’s passionate view of the arts, it brings up an interesting question about our country: in an increasingly digital, media-saturated world, are the arts still important to us as a nation?

The short answer is: yes, absolutely.

According to a report by Americans for the Arts, the number of local arts agencies in Lyndon B. Johnson’s time was only around 400. That number has grown to 4,500 in 2016.

And of those 4,500, only 29% are government-run agencies. The remaining 71% are all privately run non-profits.

It seems that with the technology boom we are also seeing an arts boom. Perhaps this is because the arts are becoming increasingly accessible, perhaps it’s due to the tireless work these organizations do to educate people on the arts.

Why not find out what it’s all about?

The Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh will host soulful singer-songwriter Clark Beckham on Sept. 24. Beckham was a runner up in season 14 of American Idol.

Battle of Plattsburgh honors fallen soldiers through several memorial ceremonies

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The color guard raised an American flag with 15 stars and stripes, which waved similarly on Sept. 6, 1814 during the battle at Culver Hill.

Descendants, community members and local officials came together for the memorial ceremony last Thursday at the Culver Hill Historical Park to honor those fallen during the engagement between American and British soldiers.

That day started when Major John Wool volunteered to lead some regulars to support the militia and oppose the advance of the British army.

Wool moved from Plattsburgh with 250 soldiers and 30 volunteers to Beekmantown before the enemy appeared.

British soldiers came marching on rapidly. While some of the militia broke and fled, the regulars stood firm until being slowly pushed back toward Culver’s Hill.

As the British advancement ascended the slope, Wool made another attack upon them.

Several British and American lives were lost.

“It was a short, but very bloody, encounter,” said Beekmantown Historian Gary VanCour.

Lieutenant Colonel James Willington of the Third Regiment of Buffs was one of those men.

“He was very brave,” said Roy Carter, a descendant of Willington, during the ceremony.

“This was his first and last engagement.”

Carter placed a wreath down on the stone memorial along with Ron Wood, descendant of Cornelia Stafford, as the reenactors gave a firing salute.

The memorial in the park dedicates not only Willington, but American Corporal Stephen Partridge of the Essex County New York State Militia and Ensign John Chapman of the British army, who all fell near the site.

“For many years, I didn’t even know there was a monument here,” said Beekmantown Town Supervisor Dennis Relation at the ceremony. “But it’s very important that we recognize what happened here and remember those lost.”

OTHER CEREMONIES While several soldiers died at Culver Hill, the others retreated to Halsey’s Corners, where the next memorial ceremony took place.

There, the American soldiers set up two six pound field guns to seize the oncoming redcoats, in which the results were deadly.

Two more memorial services happened on Thursday at the Riverside Cemetery — where British fleet commander Captain George Downie was buried — and Old Post Cemetery — where several unknown victims were buried.

On Friday, the Crab Island memorial service took place, which is the final resting place for at least 150 British and American sailors.

Descendents of the soldiers fallen during the battle at Culver Hill stand by the memorial in the Culver Hill Historical Park during the memorial ceremony last Thursday.

Champlain Valley Family Center soon to offer yoga Organization expanding next door, seeking funds for additional equipment

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Take a calming breath because yoga is coming to the Champlain Valley Family Center.

In spring 2017, the CVFC plans to add the Champlain Valley Family Yoga program to its treatment list for recovering clients.

Board President Ginny Brady said the new program will offer classes at least twice a week: one for clients healing from alcohol and drug addiction and another for their families and friends.

“Coupling yoga with substance abuse prevention treatment validates it as a beneficial strategy and a healthy alternative to drug and alcohol use as stress reducers,” said Brady.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in 2013 an estimated 22.7 Americans sought out treatment for alcohol and drug addiction.

Over $450,000 annually is spent on treatment, which is leaving some recovering addicts to turn to more affordable therapies such as yoga.

Not only does it help improve their physical health, Brady said, but also helps enhance mental well-being, deal better with depression and help reduce anxiety and stress.

To prepare for this new offering, CVFC sent staff member Emily Cole off to Burlington Yoga to complete her RYT 200 training as a yoga instructor.

Cole recently completed her training under the guidance of Candra Prabha and she’s more than excited to get started.

“Our dream at CVFC is to create Champlain Valley Family Yoga,” she said. “We envision a safe, healthy, tranquil environment where clients and their loved ones can begin their yoga path to recovery.”

CVFC started a fundraising campaign through IOBY “in our backyards” to raise $2,500 for yoga equipment and a yoga library.

This addition is made possible due to the purchase of the old Clinton County Mental Health & Addiction Services building next door, which cost $1.2 million and was funded through the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services.

One of Brady’s goals is to incorporate gift certificates into the program to other neighboring yoga studios, like Trinity Yoga and Empower Fitness and Yoga LLC, so that the healing process can continue after their time at the CVFC is done.

To make a donation, visit ioby.org/project/champlain-valley-family-yoga. Donation checks can also be mailed out to Champlain Valley Family Center at 20 Ampersand Dr., Plattsburgh,

Food Co-op << Continued from | p. 1

CHANGES FROM THE INSIDE OUT The indoor renovations, set to be completed next spring, aren’t the only changes that will be coming to the co-op.

On tap is an outdoor café area. The space will utilize the new prep area inside the co-op with a service window leading outside, where there will be seating in the alleyway behind the building and above on a balcony leading to the building’s second floor.

“We’re hoping that people will buy meals the co-op already makes, and come outside and hang out,” said Ward.

The alley is just across the street from one of the city’s oldest businesses, the Plattsburgh Shoe Hospital, and a highly-praised Plattsburgh staple, Iris’s. The co-op is completely surrounded by local businesses, and the members are proud of that fact.

The co-op sees this new space as a potential tool for helping new businesses develop in the downtown area.

“One of the reasons you see a lot of empty storefronts in Plattsburgh is because the property owners are charging a lot in rent,” said Ward.

He said that this high rent makes it hard for small businesses to take the initial start-up risk when they have to pay upwards of $1,200 per month.

“With this project, we can show other business owners that there are benefits to renting out a portion of your space to other new businesses.”

Ward points to the co-op’s deli as an example. He says that though the prepared foods deli is operated under the umbrella of the co-op, it could just as well be a separate business.

As for the alleyway project, Ward says residents will only have to wait a little while longer.

The $218,000 in funds cannot be allocated to the alleyway project.

“We have until spring to raise capital, finalize the plans,” said Ward. “Then hopefully when all of the interior renovations are done, we can focus all of our energy into making the café happen next year.”

Also on tap is a new mural. This month, the business will team up with Outside Art: The Plattsburgh Public Art Project to revitalize its back alleyway with the fifth in a series of new murals popping up in the downtown area.

“Having the mural there makes the case that this space is for people,” said Julia Devine, codirector of the ‘Outside Art’ project. “And something is happening here.”

The mural is scheduled to be completed this October.

Lena

Cookie

He is a two-year-old American Staffordshire terrier/cattle dog mix.

Cookie is a gorgeous and quirky dog, who has had way too many litters of puppies. Cookie enjoys being around her people and she adores children of all ages. Cookie likes to play with toys of all kinds, but she really likes her beef flavored nyla bones! Cookie loves to lay on her back and scratch her back by wiggling her whole body back and forth. It is so cute! She loves to go for walks and will do well in a home where she will get a lot of physical and mental stimulation. She loves to jump and would be an excellent hiking companion. Cookie seems to like dogs who are submissive, but she is very selective about the dogs she positively interacts with. Cookie is now current on vaccinations, has tested negative for lyme, ehrlihcia, heartworm and anaplasmosis, is spayed and is ready to meet her new family right now!

BEEKMANTOWN — The defending Section VII/Class B champs put themselves in position to wear their red jerseys in the 2016 championship game after two 14-point scoring runs to earn a 28-7 victory over Class B rival Peru Sept. 10.

The Eagles forced six turnovers in the game with four interceptions and a pair of fumbles. While the Eagles also turned the ball over four times, the two extra takeaways both turned into points for the Eagles, while Peru did not score on any of the four give-aways by the Eagles.

“It was a sloppy game for both teams and the wind did not help Peru,” head coach Jamie Lozier said. “It’s going to be tough when we get to playoffs. Getting this win is a big mental lift for these boys.”

The first Eagles points were scored on defense, when Christian Wawrzynski picked off Peru quarterback Ryley O’Connell and went into the endzone untouched.

“We knew that play was coming and yelled it out. He recognized it from practices and jumped it,” Lozier said.

“I read the quarterbacks eyes,” Wawrzynski said. “I saw Gallo run the same route the play before so I knew with the formation it was going to him.”

With the score remaining 7-0 heading into the final minute of the first half, the Eagles were able to get the ball and run a hook-and-lateral for 58 yards on their first play, followed by a 30-yard pass from Dominick Bordeau to Cris Arzola.

“We were at third down and long so we needed a play for the first down,” Arzola said. “It has been good for my first year on varsity and I have been able to contribute. It was exciting to get that score because we knew we had a two-score lead heading into halftime.”

Johnny Devins • Saranac

What makes you happy playing sports?

It’s family. I keep it going. It’s a tradition and keep the tradition in Saranac.

Best win of your career?

It would be last year against Ticonderoga

Go-to pregame track?

I like listening to some rap basically

Coaches are welcome to contact the Sun News Sports department with any changes on the leaderboards and Top 5’s by emailing keith@suncommunitynews.com or calling 873-6368 ext. 212.

What would my teammates say about me?

I’m a good leader. I motivate them to be better I think.

“It’s huge mentally for us, because the kids start to believe in themselves,” Lozier said. “It’s easier to motivate the kids when things are positive, and we are trying to be positive more.”

During halftime, Lozier said the team looked for ways to improve their offense.

“We made adjustments at halftime,” he said. “Once we went into halftime, the kids did a nice job giving us the information we needed. I’ve been in this spot I can’t tell you how many times and watch Peru pick us apart in the fourth quarter. They are tremendous at it. I didn’t feel total relief until four minutes left in the fourth when we got the fourth.”

The Eagles are in a mix of teams who have started the season 1-1, including next week’s opponent, the Moriah Vikings, who suffered a 33-12 loss at the hands of Peru in week one.

Loaier said the team will not let the first two weeks get in the way of their preparation.

“They know each game is one at a time,” he said. “We have good film on Moriah and a good scout, but every team is a good team and we have been beaten by everyone at some point.”

Bordeau finished with 90 yards passing, the majority coming to Arzola and Alex Archer on the running end of the hook-and-lateral. Ryan Criss led the rushing attack for the Eagles with 83 yards and a score on eight carries, while Archer added 55 yards.

Defensively, Wawrzynski had a pair of interceptions, while Arhcer and Arzola each added one.

For the Indians, O’Connell threw for 83 yards, while Evan Palmer had 83 yards rushing and a touchdown, all coming on the lone Indians scoring play in the third quarter.

The Indians travel to Saranac Lake Sept. 17, one of two teams who have started the season at 2-0, along with Ticonderoga.

“It’s my calling,” she said. “Over the years, it’s been wonderful to see the changes we’ve made within the community.”

ARC’s Community Based Services Direct Support Professional Brittany Bracy sees those improvements every day.

Bracy teaches individuals either living on their own or with their families different skills, such as banking, budgeting and cooking, and how to immerse themselves into the community.

Socializing and building relationships are two key components to integration, said Bracy. The third, and most important, is the support they receive from the ARC. “I’ve seen a lot of them grow from lost children to successful adults,” she said. “But without the services we provide, they won’t get the support they need to truly prosper.”

Clinton County BOE seeks poll workers

PLATTSBURGH — The Clinton County Board of Elections is looking for people to become poll workers. Poll workers will be required to attend a two hour training session, which pays $25. The rate of pay for working is: $110 for the Primary Election and $150 for the General Election. You may be enrolled in any party, says Deputy Commissioner Brandi Lloyd, but don’t need to be in party to become a worker. For more information, call the office at 565-4740 between the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The first training session will begin in October.

ANCA to host annual meeting KEESEVILLE — On Sept. 23, the Adirondack North Country Association will host their annual meeting.

Organizers will discuss why are all the storefronts in one North Country community full of thriving businesses while others have multiple vacant properties, where the arts and local foods are making a difference in attracting new residents and visitors and more. Doors will open at 12:30 p.m. for registration. For more information, visit adirondack.org.
