CVES proposes $29.8 million capital plan

» Cont. on pg. 2 & 3

Public vote on tax hike, infrastructure overhaul slated across 17 districts

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Champlain Valley Educational Services (CVES) is poised to launch a $29.8 million capital plan designed to fund major infrastructure upgrades and allow for the purchase of new property.

But first, residents in 17 area school districts will have a chance to weigh in on the proposal.

A public vote run and funded by CVES is scheduled in 17 locations across three counties on Dec. 11, noon to 8 p.m.

With this plan a tax hike is attached for school districts around the region.

For a person whose home is assessed at $100,000, if their district chooses a 15-year bond financing plan and based on that resident’s STAR eligibility, the attached tax increase for the $29.8 million project would range from $1.57 to $21.54 for the next 15 years. » CVES Cont. on pg. 4

North Country returns mixed verdict for Cuomo Dems split as governor seeks third term

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

Andrew Cuomo won the Democratic primary last week, but earned anemic results in the North Country.

File photo

PLATTSBURGH | Gov. Andrew Cuomo may have won a commanding victory over challenger Cynthia Nixon in last week’s Democratic primary, winning 65 percent of the vote.

But he barely limped across the finish line in northern New York.

Cuomo carved outright wins in Essex, Franklin and Hamilton counties, but earned razor-thin margins in Clinton (3 points), Jefferson (1.3 percent), St. Lawrence (1.7 percent) and Warren, where he eked out a 2 percent victory, according to unofficial returns from the state Board of Elections.

His vote margin in Herkimer County was just 7 votes, 753-746.

He lost Fulton and Lewis counties, as well as Washington and Saratoga, part of

the Nixon blast radius emanating out from Albany and circling the surrounding counties.

Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul fared far better, sweeping all 12 counties in New York’s 21st Congressional District, besting Jumaane Williams 53 to 47 statewide.

Nixon garnered statewide totals of 34.4 percent, roughly the same numbers Zephyr Teachout secured in 2014, where she won 30 of the state’s 62 counties — including Hamilton, St. Lawrence, Warren and Washington — in her primary bid against Cuomo.

Turnout roughly doubled that of 2014 with 1.5 million voters, or about 27 percent of registered Democrats.

Cuomo’s pick for attorney general, Tish James, took 40 percent of the vote in a fourway race — but failed to win a single North Country county.

Instead, voters in New York’s 21st Congressional District were divided between Rep. Sean Maloney and Teachout, who took a stab at the seat in her third race in four years. » Cuomo Cont. on pg. 4

New superintendent takes helm at Chazy Central Mark Bessen named interim superintendent as board ramps up hiring efforts

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

CHAZY | Mark Bessen, a retired superintendent from Washington County, has been named interim superintendent at the Chazy Central Rural School District.

Bessen, 59, will serve in that role through the school year as the Chazy Board of Education ramps up efforts to find a permanent replacement for John Fairchild, who served as the district superintendent for eight years.

“I’ve been very impressed with the students here, they’re extremely polite and dedicated and they’re serious workers,” Bessen told The Sun. “Every day I’ve been here so far has been a pleasure. I’m looking forward to a great school year.”

Bessen, a SUNY Plattsburgh alumnus with a bachelor’s degree in Education, said

District in Washington County last year.

He also served in the U.S. Army and the New York Army National Guard from 1988 to 2016, retiring as a lieutenant-colonel.

Bessen will be paid $575 per day until his replacement takes over at Chazy Central.

that he hopes to serve as a bridge between Fairchild and his eventual replacement and will continue in his predecessor’s path, while “setting up the new superintendent for success.”

He’s also looking forward to sitting on the sidelines at some Chazy Eagles games while he’s here.

“I worked as a coach in Saranac and Ausable — football,” he said. “Now I love soccer.”

The school Board of Education will be ramping up efforts to find Fairchild’s permanent replacement this month, though a final decision on who will fill the position isn’t expected until March 2019.

“This process usually takes up to a year,” said Trombley, between the application process and candidate interviews.

Whomever is chosen as the new superintendent, he said, will likely start in July.

Mark Bessen has been named interim superintendent at the Chazy Central Rural School District. He takes over for John Fairchild, so served the school for eight years.

Bessen was chosen as the interim superintendent from a field of four candidates.

“Four very highly qualified candidates,” BOE President Joey Trombley told The Sun. In addition to his time at SUNY Plattsburgh where he also studied educational administration, Bessen studied at Castleton State College in Vermont, where he earned

a master of arts degree in education.

After that he served as an educator for 34 years, 26 of them as an administrator.

He worked as a principal and director at the Lake George Central School District, and as an assistant principal at the Saratoga Springs Central School District, before retiring from the Granville Central School

FAIRCHILD DEPARTS

The school’s former superintendent, Fairchild, departed from the district on Sept. 4 to take a job as a math teacher in Westport.

“This was a very difficult decision, but I decided that it is the best interest of my family for me to reduce the number of hours I work and also the stress level associated with my job,” Fairchild, 57, said in a newsletter to parents.

“The last eight years at Chazy have been the most rewarding and also the most challenging of my career. I have enjoyed working with a story faculty and staff who are dedicated to the children of this community.”

In his farewell message, Fairchild thanked the community, and the parents whose children are attending the school, for their support.

“Your children are far and away the most respectful and responsible students I have ever worked with. This is a testament to strong family values,” he said. “It also demonstrates the strength of the Chazy community.” ■

Muted fall foliage predicted statewide — but Adirondacks may be spared “Goldilocks” of fall colors is warm sunny days followed by cool nights, says expert

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Leaves have already started changing in the Adirondacks, paving the way for the rest of the state.

But as autumn descends, colors of the fall foliage season will be delayed and less vibrant in much of the state, experts predict.

New York has had wet and warm weather leading into the season, which will delay changes in foliage and lessen their vibrancy, said Taryn Bauerle, Cornell University associate professor of plant science.

“The goldilocks of fall colors is warm sunny days followed by cool nights,” Bauerle

said. “Therefore, we can expect fall foliage to be less vivid this year.”

But the Adirondacks, which has suffered drought-like conditions, might be spared, and this week’s weather will be the determining factor.

If the region continues have dry weather paired with the goldilocks scenario, “you will definitely be set up for better colors than rest of region,” said Bauerle, whose research focuses on how plants communicate water stress.

That scenario would results in colors popping with more reds.

“It’s hard to predict Mother Nature and what next the next few weeks will bring,” Bauerle said.

Temperature and moisture are the major drivers of fall foliage.

Too little water and warm temperatures increases the chances of early leaf fall and more muted fall colors, Bauerle said. But too much water and warm temperatures increases the likelihood of diseases.

Foliage Report predicted color changes between five and 15 percent in Crown Point this past weekend, with most occurring at

higher elevations.

That number was 10 percent in Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake. ■

The first signs of fall have appeared in the Adirondacks, which may have better fall foliage results than the rest of the state.

LOCAL REACTIONS

Clinton County Democratic Committee Chairman Sara Rowden said she wasn’t surprised Cuomo won the Tri Lakes region.

“He’s in many ways been good to the North Country,” Rowden told The Sun. And she wasn’t shocked at the nail-biter in Clinton County, which went for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary — even without a visit from Nixon, an actor and education activist who never ventured further north than Saratoga Springs in her six-month insurgent campaign, nor demonstrated much of an appetite for diving into upstate issues.

“There’s a lot of progressives in Clinton County,” said Rowden. “Even if they didn’t see her, they’re aware of what she stood for.”

Shaun Gillilland, regional vice chair of the New York State Republican Party for the North Country, said the results didn’t portend well for Cuomo in November.

“It says to me even Democrats are quite unhappy with Mr. Cuomo,” Gillilland said.

“He’s not as well liked in the North Country as probably he thinks he is.”

And while Nixon lost, the Working Families Party, which endorsed her campaign, said the results portend well for the ascendant progressive wing of the state voters, which has been grinding it out with the more institutional wing represented by Cuomo.

In the state Senate, six of the eight former members of the Independent Democratic Caucus, which forged a power-sharing agreement with Republicans, lost their seats.

Democrats must still defeat at least one sitting Republican in November to capture

control of the state Senate majority.

If so, progressives hope to push through legislation that has bottled up over the years, including a single-payer health care bill, voting reform and ethics laws.

Gillilland said the leftward tack bodes well for Republicans.

“It makes it easier to win elections,” he said.

Cuomo lost much of upstate in the 2014 election, but easily managed to dispatch Rob Astorino, the now-former Westchester County executive.

The governor batted back claims last week that Nixon pulled him to the left, touting his record of a $15 minimum wage, marriage equality and gun control legislation as evidence of his progressive values.

MOLINARO STEPS OUT

Cuomo faces Republican Marc Molinaro in November.

The Dutchess County executive launched an upstate “Cuomo Corruption Tour” on Friday.

“Winning a primary is not winning an election,” Molinaro told The Sun. Cuomo spent $25 million to dispatch Nixon, burning through as much as $400,000 per day in the final days of the contest.

“At end of the day, taxpayers and government lose out,” he said.

Molinaro renewed attacks against the governor, criticizing his oversight of the state’s economic development initiatives, which he contends lend themselves to corruption.

He called for a special prosecutor like Robert Mueller to launch a probe against the governor, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing in a series of criminal trials that resulted in one of his closest advisors convicted on federal corruption charges, among two other associates.

“At the end of the day, he’s allowed to bend the rules and defraud taxpayers,” Molinaro said.

Libertarian candidate Larry Sharpe, Green Howie Hawkins and Stephanie Miner, an independent running under the Serve America Movement line, are also running. ■

Today, we know the outcome of the election and how both sides continue their fight for the approval of the American public.

Seared into memory is the old Superman intro that drove home what Clark Kent’s father originally told him when he was growing up, to always use his superhuman skills for truth, tolerance and justice.

The intro was changed instead to read truth, justice and the American way.

I wonder today if we know what is truth or justice, and is there an American way any longer?

Are the values we once shared and handed down through the generations still at the core of our life today? Do we, by and large, demand fairness, honesty, truth, justice, respect, civility, equality, self-control, liberty and freedom in all things American?

Or, have these once cherished values been replaced in our effort to seek more power and influence with things like greed, winning at all cost, lying or spinning the truth to fit one’s perspective, contempt, selfishness and discrimination?

All one need do is read some of the crazy headlines, watch a newscast or God-forbid listen to the radical talking heads.

Opinions are a dime a dozen, but opinions do not necessarily reflect the truth.

I choose to believe that the American public still embraces the important values, but we are slowly being manipulated, out of convenience, to think differently than our forefathers.

We seem more willing to go along with trends that serve us well versus standing firm on issues that at one time were very clearly defined.

In this war of truths, we find ourselves in today, I’m still convinced that we will find our way through this mess and once again find our common core values that prove fair to all. ■

The Sun Editorial

Broadband public meetings needed Here we go again.

After a brief reprieve, local lawmakers are again duking it out with the state agency overseeing New York’s universal broadband build-out effort.

The concerns of local officials have shifted since the state rolled out the program in 2015.

While town supervisors were once worried about locations in their communities being left out of the grant process as a result of flawed data, their concerns have since morphed into a broader latticework of suspicion and skepticism.

With the final round of the $670 million in state and federal subsidies to providers announced in January, lawmakers continue to seek clarity on numerous components.

They’re seeking clarification on which regulatory structure will remain after the state declares victory and providers complete work at the end of next year.

They’d like details on how the state Public Service Commission’s tentative eviction of Charter earlier this summer will portend for their constituents awaiting service.

And they want to know which other funding mechanisms will be available to fill in the remaining gaps — if there are any.

All valid questions.

While their concerns have shifted over time, one constant has remained: Communication issues.

For local officials, these unanswered questions are akin to threads of doubt and suspicion being woven into that latticework, strands that are becoming increasingly becoming difficult to untangle.

We editorialized in April 2017 that localities and the state Broadband Program Office needed

GOP article ‘breath of fresh air’

To the Editor: Editor’s note: This letter is in response to Pete DeMola’s article titled, “GOP hopefuls stump in North Country” which appeared in the Sept. 15 edition of The Sun. I find your Sept. 15 article on GOP hopefuls a needed breath of fresh air for us in New York state and specifically up here in the North Country.

We voters need to make it a windstorm of responsible and positive change this November.

“King Cuomo,” his allies and his “three men in the room” budget making has indeed left us with a tax-and-spend and tax some more political system.

Locally, for example, the costly and slow broadband program, the new Airbnb “hotel’” tax, the well below market value lease rate to Vapor Stone to get them onto airport property,

to improve their avenues of communication.

But since then, it’s been one step forward, two steps back.

For instance, a pair of forums held earlier this year between local officials, providers and state brass in Willsboro and North Creek served as somewhat of a kumbaya moment that resulted in a feeling of progress.

But that goodwill proved to be short-lived and suffered a series of setbacks — including a poorly-publicized public hearing on build-out efforts that reignited transparency concerns among lawmakers.

Several members of the public attended a rescheduled event last month in Elizabethtown — with some coming as far away as Thurman — but were frustrated they could not have their commonsense questions addressed.

Lawmakers were upset they couldn’t answer them, leading to a vicious cycle.

Meanwhile, the state fumed at what they perceived to be another black mark on the program.

Finally, a Saranac Lake-based non-profit stepped forward and offered to serve as a conduit between local lawmakers and the state.

Kudos to that non-profit, AdkAction.

We also commend the Essex County Board of Supervisors and officials across the Adirondack Park for being a forceful and constant voice in ensuring the state meets their pledge to provide high-speed broadband to every state resident.

These local officials are not being unreasonable.

We don’t think anyone is saying the $154 million in public investment to serve North Country locations isn’t a game-changer, and isn’t appreciated by local officials.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: The state deserves credit for their ambi-

the dirt-cheap utility rates for the airport Tailwinds operated restaurant, to name a few.

With all the county-centralized growth here there is no current proposal of reducing our taxes like the GOP platform indicates.

Same for eliminating the wasteful with no guarantees the “economic development programs.”

For example, our hoped for “bustling” and expensive air cargo facility and lots of international passengers — really?

What we have gotten is lots of tax debt, overburdened roadways and waste handling systems and just more problems to tax and spend on.

The GOP candidates appear to know and are poised to address these issues.

Furthermore, Cuomo’s cleverlynamed SAFE Act is ineffective, a huge burden to the sports people in this state and a forebearer of what Cuomo et. al. has ready down the road for us. Most of us know laws and compliance, so that matter

tious broadband program.

The voices of local officials just happen to be the loudest statewide because they represent the areas most poised to benefit from this program — including communities that would likely wither up and blow away without the investment.

Pointing out flaws in the broadband program shouldn’t be interpreted as a hostile gesture.

This isn’t a zero-sum game.

But we also said nearly 18 months ago local officials needed to do more than counterpunch.

“A better idea for local governments is to form a regional broadband task force,” we wrote.

They haven’t done that yet, and also deserve to be knocked for their lack of action — particularly considering their concerns have piled up like bumper cars.

While the sessions in North Creek and Willsboro were beneficial — and groundbreaking as state officials rightly pointed out — providers and state officials only discussed issues from the local level, not a broader context.

The state needs to continue to address concerns publicly on a regional basis.

So should the providers, who are the ones ultimately conducting the build-outs.

We suggest a series of regional meetings in the areas best served by the initiative, including the Adirondacks and western New York.

Doing so will give local officials and the public the opportunity to have all of their questions answered.

Because as Essex County officials have said, this is not an abstract concept, but has become personal for New Yorkers.

Benefit slated for longtime racer, car fanatic

Spaghetti dinner, raffle to raise money for local man’s medical expenses

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PERU | A local man known for his lifelong love of cars is battling skin cancer and his family is raising money to help pay for his medical expenses.

A spaghetti lunch open to the entire community is slated for Sept. 29 at noon, with all proceeds to benefit Dan Dubuque as he battles lymphoma skin cancer.

The event will run through 8 p.m. with a variety of entertainment, from an hourly 50-50 raffle to live music, at the VFW Post 309 in Peru.

MAN OF PASSION

Dubuque is a man known for his passion.

It was 1979 when he first got behind the wheel of his own racing car, and he didn’t stop racing for decades. He raced at Airborne Speedway, right next door from where he grew up, for 20 years.

When he retired, he spent his time getting his hands dirty, taking a look at ailing cars and bringing them back to life as a mechanic at South Catherine Small Car Repair.

He also picked up an interest in R/C cars, and became the founder of the Lake City R/C Speedway.

His love of cars pervades his life, his sister-in-law Debbie Dubuque said. » Letters Cont. from pg. 6 After leaving the F.B.I. in 2013, he served as consulting professor and distinguished lecturer at Stanford University.

On May 17, 2016, he was appointed special counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate any coordination between Russia and individuals associated with the campaign of Donald Trump and any other associated matters.

Do you know this man?

Garnet Lake boat launch closure is ableist

To the Editor: The State of New York/Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has closed the boat launch site on Garnet Lake.

This launch site has served the communities of Garnet Lake and Johnsburg for countless years. The state explains that they are not closing the site, only restricting its use.

They say you can still lift your boat over the barricade and put it in the lake.

In their wisdom, they are directing you to use a site 8.5 miles away in Brant Lake.

I have used this site to launch my 10 foot, two horsepower outboard for years. I am now 84 years old and cannot lift my boat over the barricade.

Rather than limiting the size of motors to five horsepower or less, they have effectively made the lake inaccessible to only those capable of lifting their boats over the barrier.

Allowing any size boat or motor on the lake, so long as you can lift it over the barricade, does not appear to have any bearing on controlling invasive species.

This action by DEC has all the appearances of restricting the use of this public lake to lakeside residents by making it as difficult as possible for others to use an outboard there.

Possibly, the Town of Johnsburg should consider giving all the residents a reduction in taxes equal to the loss of the use of the lake.

I wish others would respond to DEC Commissioner Seggos with their feelings concerning this matter.

Airborne racer Dan Dubuque is battling cancer, and his family has planned a fundraiser to help pay for his medical expenses.

Things changed in 2016, when Dan Dubuque was diagnosed with mycosis fungoides, also known as cutaneous t-cell lymphoma skin cancer.

His family says he’s the second-known person in the United States to have the cancer spread throughout his skin and into his eye.

He’s tried a number of treatments, but his reaction has been adverse to many. Right now, he’s awaiting a bone marrow transplant, Debbie said. His immune system is failing, and the transplant is crucial.

importance and our freedom to read the words of journalists without knowing what they look like, without a third party interpreting their meaning, without spin, gloss or emphasis.

In this paper, I have always enjoyed the regional calendar and been delighted to learn of events that otherwise would have been completely off my radar. I don’t know how anyone knows anything about what is happening in nearby communities without this exceptional resource.

Here’s a suggestion: As we enter this primary/election period beginning now and running through November, use your pages to inform people, in print, what elections are taking place, where people can register to vote, the locations of polling places and their hours.

Essentially, remind your readers of the most basic tenet of American democracy: the right to vote.

The participation of the citizenry in this fundamental, crucial aspect of self-governance has been dismal in recent years.

If your pages can help to change that, perhaps you wouldn’t be asked to publish so many complaints about the way things are.

November votes will determine fate of democracy

To the Editor: Judgment day draws nigh.

On Tuesday, Nov. 6, we will all decide, whether we vote or not, the direction democracy will take.

Pro or con, all recognize that President Trump has profoundly challenged the basic ingredients of democracy…our abilities to trust facts, to disagree civilly, to compromise.

The importance of this vote goes far beyond strong disagreements we all may have on specific policies, conspiracy theories or presidential morality.

We will be choosing between the principles of a liberal democracy or a creeping authoritarianism.

Of the many offices on our ballots that day, the one with the greatest national significance is that of congressional representative.

Yes, there are critically important policy issues that separate the two major congressional candidates of New York’s 21st Congressional District: The Democratic candidate trusts North Country taxpayers to determine how best to make health care accessible and affordable

DONATE

While receiving treatment he’s traveling back and forth from Plattsburgh to Vermont and New Hampshire, several times a week.

The money raised through the fundraiser on Sept. 29 will help his family shoulder those costs, along with the cost of treatment and other expenses.

For those who can’t make the fundraiser — more information can be found by searching “Cancer benefit for Dan Dubuque” on Facebook or by calling Debbie at 518-3355338 — the family has also started an online crowdfunding campaign at gofundme.com/dan-dubuques-race-to-beatcancer. They’re also selling t-shirts at artshop.loremans. com/dan_dubuque/shop/products. ■

and to maintain environmental protections; the Republican incumbent trusts insurance and oil corporations to make those decisions.

But the much larger issue at stake in this election is the health of our democracy itself.

For those Republicans, Democrats and independents who recognize this growing pattern of authoritarianism, unchallenged by a self-serving and submissive Congress, the little circle you fill in on that ballot sheet will have a profound affect on what happens to America in the next two years.

No matter how you voted two years ago, your vote in November will determine whether the erosion of faith in our own democracy will continue unchecked by congressional Republicans or will create enough balance in Congress that we might get back to hashing out our differences in a civil, democratic manner.

Make your own decisions, but vote!

Then we’ll really know where we’re headed, for better or worse. Please don’t leave the messiness of democracy up to everyone else.

Grateful to Westport Central for quality education

To the Editor: Regarding the proposed merger between Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School (ELCS) and Westport Central School (WCS), I do not have the right to vote.

I am not a member of either the ELCS or WCS district, therefore, I do not pay taxes in either district. However, I do pay tuition for my son to attend WCS. I chose to send him to Westport Central because of their proven record of academic excellence. I appreciate the small class size and valuable opportunities for more oneon-one interaction between educators and students. My son is so happy to be a part of the WCS community and is thriving both socially and academically.

As state and national test scores and school rankings will prove, bigger schools, bigger classes and nicer and newer facilities do not equal better education!

My step-daughter is a 2016 graduate of WCS. She was also an out-of-district student.

Currently, she is enrolled at SUNY Plattsburgh, where she earned a spot on the dean’s list last semester.

I attribute her success to her strong work ethic, confidence, time management skills and “can do” attitude. These are all qualities that were developed and encouraged through

her WCS education.

For years, I have enjoyed attending WCS drama productions, talent shows, chorus and band concerts, sporting events and more. I have witnessed, with great appreciation, how WCS staff works with and encourages students to develop their talents.

My opinion on the merger does not matter.

I just wanted to thank the WCS community for what they have done for my children. I hope to continue to watch my children grow as Eagles for years to come.

- Laura Orr, Mineville ■

Proposed school merger won’t solve financial problems

To the Editor: “Vote Yes Stabilize our Taxes” is a fallacy.

New York State implemented a property tax cap on our towns and schools. It’s calculated through a formula and generally runs 2-3 percent allowable increase per year.

If its is not adhered to, monetarily we suffer.

Westport Central School has been adhering to the cap. This year, the board put forth a budget above the cap that preserved some instructional staff that would be cut under a cap budget.

This budget was voted down.

The cap was an attempt to reign in runaway budgets. It did control budgets, but is decimating our ability to educate.

A merger with Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School will not eliminate the cap nor will it stop the 2-3 percent budget increases we will see every year.

What it will do is, for a time, allow our students a better education.

Every year after the merger, the school board will still decide where to cut. As is now, instructional staff will come on the chopping block and subjects will be dropped until one day, again the voters are faced with this same crisis.

By then, the school in Westport will have been closed for many years.

There may be a school in Elizabethtown or possibly a new school located centrally — it won’t matter.

The cap will still be in place and the budget will still be under pressure.

The solution lays not in a merger, but miles away in Albany. Until a change comes there, you will continue to see reduced service to our school districts.

Clinton County awaits state guidance on legal pot As neighboring county opposes legalization, Clinton County Legislature defers

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | As the state continues to explore the legalization of recreational marijuana, Essex County’s Board of Supervisors has begun to weigh in — but the Clinton County Legislature will likely wait for the state to offer guidance on the issue.

Last week the Essex County Board of Supervisors’ Public Safety Committee unanimously accepted an Essex County Sheriff’s Office resolution opposing any measure to legalize recreational pot use.

Though Clinton County Sheriff David Favro shares some of his counterpart’s concerns, lawmakers in Clinton County are unlikely to weigh in, opting instead to wait until the state legislature makes a move.

“It’s inevitable that it’s going to happen,” Legislator Patty Waldron (Area 6), chair of the county Health Committee, said of marijuana legalization. “How it happens it going to be our concern.”

HOT TOPIC

Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month ordered a series of “listening sessions” around the state to garner input from stakeholders on the legalization of recreational marijuana.

A study released by the state Department of Health in July found the positive impacts of a regulated marijuana market outweigh the negative, and that areas of potential concern may be mitigated with regulation and education tailored to key populations.

Waldron said that overall, she feels marijuana could be an alternative to the sort of highly-addictive prescription pills that have created a crisis.

She noted that Plattsburgh’s medical marijuana dispensary, Curaleaf, was doing good work marketing themselves and more doctors in the area have become certified in prescribing the drug.

But in terms of recreational use?

“I’d like the state to pursue it and get the rules in place first,” she said, when asked if she foresaw the county weighing in ahead of any statewide legislation being enacted. “I don’t foresee that. It hasn’t been a topic of conversation, and I think most of us would want the state to do their research first so we know how best to proceed carefully.”

Though neighboring Essex County is poised to vote on a resolution signaling their opposition to legalizing recreational marijuana statewide, the Clinton County Legislature is unlikely to weigh in ahead of a state decision on the matter.

Asked what his stance was on legalizing marijuana, if he felt the county should weigh in on the issue and if he foresaw the county’s Health and Public Safety committees making recommendations to the full legislature, Legislator Simon Conroy (Area 4) said that he’s confident the state will adequately address concerns in upcoming legislation.

“I support the legalization of recreational marijuana and am confident that upcoming New York state legislation will be enacted to adequately address concerns with regard to public health, safety and revenue similar to laws and policies that are currently in place for other substances such as alcohol,” he said.

Conroy urged state lawmakers earlier this year to explore legalization.

But the North Country’s state delegation indicated they’re taking a wait-and-see approach, citing discussions with law enforcement.

Clinton County Chairman Harry McManus (Area 1) said that the issue of whether or not the county would be taking a position on the legalization of marijuana would need to first come via the proper committees.

In reporting this story The Sun reached out to every legislator on the county’s Health and Public Safety committees. Legislators Jonathan Beach (Area 2), Mark Henry

MEDICARE PLANS CONFUSING? YOU’RE NOT ALONE...

The Clinton County Legislature is unlikely to take a position on the legalization of marijuana, instead awaiting direction from the state on the issue.

File photo (Area 3), Robert Timmons (Area 7), Robert Hall (Area 10) and Pete Keenan (Area 5) did not respond to a request for comment before deadline.

SHERIFF WEIGHS IN

Favro said that for local law enforcement, there are too many questions left unanswered when it comes to impairment testing, enforcement and funding for the resulting healthcare costs that could crop up as a result of drug-related ailments.

There’s also still a disconnect between state and federal law, he noted.

Before legislation authorizing marijuana legalization is enacted, there’s a lesson to be learned from the post-prohibition era. When alcohol was legalized, he said there were different state authorities created and tasked with regulating that alcohol — authorities that cost taxpayers a lot of money.

“They never put any of that money into a special health fund,” he said. “If you take a look at our healthcare costs just related to alcohol-related ailments, it’s a big strain on our healthcare (system).”

Though he said he’s “keeping an open mind,” the sheriff doesn’t support legalization of recreational marijuana.

“I couldn’t say I’m in favor of it,” he said. “I’m open-minded and I’m following it, but I’m not in favor of legalizing it.

“I think there’s a lot of uncharted water here that needs to be cleared up before the hammer drops.” ■

Plattsburgh waste prompts heated exchange Department of Public Works underscores need for more staffing, funding to address roadside waste

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The City of Plattsburgh’s formal budget sessions kicked off last week, tension bubbling over in the first hour.

The first department on deck was the Department of Public Works (DPW), a slice of expenses projected at more than $4,215,720 million next year.

The city’s total 2019 budget proposal is $59,491,900.

Councilors went through, line by line, the first few pages of the DPW budget.

Money for postage? Sick-time buyouts?

Each amount was scrutinized, with DPW heads and Chamberlain Richard Marks explaining the nuances behind each number. These department-by-department budget sessions are expected to continue for the next few weeks.

A major sticking point for the department came when Councilor Peter Ensel (Ward 4), chair of the Infrastructure Committee, asked DPW Superintendent Arsene “Mike” Brodi to run down his list of requests for the upcoming year.

Brodi took issue with intrigue surrounding a proposal to ban plastic straws in the city, making a point that roadside waste is a big issue here.

“My little beef, seeing how what this council is interested in, in the press and all that stuff, about the straws and all that (B.S.),” said Brodi, standing from his front-row seat to walk up to the podium.

“Excuse me?” Councilor Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1) said.

A few weeks ago, Armstrong had volunteered to explore a ban on plastic straws at the request of a local high school student.

“I want some additional funding for roadside maintenance,” Brodi continued, ignoring the councilor’s comment.

“Totally unnecessary, Mr. Brodi,” Armstrong interjected.

The Plattsburgh Common Council kicked off their first budget session of the season last week.

“What I’m talking about are the couches, the sofas, and the electronic equipment that (residents) leave on the side of the curb,” Brodi said. “People drop them off in their cars, leave them on street corners. I need some additional revenue to handle that cost. It’s $27 for a TV set. It says free on it, but (when we pick it up) it costs more.”

As the council fell silent — some rifling through papers, Councilor Joshua Kretser (Ward 6) frowning at Brodi — Mayor Colin Read piped up to say that something did need to be done to curb roadside waste, and that he, the city’s building inspector and police chief were in talks on how to accomplish that.

“We need to be much more proactive with enforcement,” he said.

“It’s not satisfactory for these things to be left on the side of the road. I think you’ve all received complaints from your constituents over that. We plan to do much more proactive code enforcement on that. I know it’s going to be tough at first, but we take that very, very seriously.”

From there, the session continued on as normal.

Brodi requested that a number of vacant positions be filled, noting that his department has taken on a litany of new responsibilities from the now-abolished Engineering and Parks and Recreation departments. He also asked that some employees be granted management status, that the city budget for an arborist to address fallen trees and more.

The session had nearly concluded when Kretser spoke up

File photo

about the exchange between Armstrong and Brodi.

“I’m appreciative. I know that you guys work extremely hard. But in the nearly five years that I’ve been on the council, I don’t think that we have ever disrespected any of the initiatives that you’re working on, or come out and said that we think the ideas that you have are horrible,” he said, his voice measured. “I’d appreciate the same courtesy in the future.”

“I’m trying to make a point, exacerbate the point,” Brodi replied, interrupting Armstrong when she began to speak.

“Because that’s a big point. Roadside garbage makes the city look really bad. And I understand the thing about straws —” “Well, obviously you don’t, or you wouldn’t have said something like that,” Kretser shot back.

“You called it (B.S.),” said Armstrong.

“I just want to say that I will never disrespect you,” Kretser told Brodi.

“I didn’t disrespect anybody here,” he replied.

“You did,” said Kretser.

Brodi apologized, reiterating that he was trying to make a point.

“Well, there was a way to do it,” Armstrong said. “That might not have been the way.”

Read proposed his 2019 budget on Aug. 31. Next year’s fiscal plan is now in the hands of the Common Council, and the planning process ahead of a final vote to adopt the budget is expected to continue every Thursday, at 4:30 p.m., for the next few weeks. ■

City eyes $17.4 million for lakeside plant Officials explore odor, noise control and aesthetic updates to water pollution control plant

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The long-rumored relocation of the city’s water pollution control plant from the shores of Lake Champlain is looking a little more unlikely.

The Plattsburgh Common Council this month approved a series of resolutions, also passed last year, that effectively reaffirmed their support for a possible $17.4 million upgrade to aging infrastructure at the site.

The unanimous vote came as the Environmental Services Department continues to explore grant opportunities to help fund the project.

According to Environmental Services Manager Jonathan Ruff, the department is looking to secure up to $5 million from the state to implement a number of odor and noise control measures, upgrades to aging presses and clarifiers involved in the water treatment process, as well as aesthetic upgrades to make the waterfront facility more pleasing to look at.

“Eventually we’re going to have meetings where we ask, ‘Hey, what do we want our waterfront to look like? In particular this huge concrete facility. What’s going to be most attractive?’” Ruff said.

The upgrades would dovetail well with waterfront development included as part of the $10 million state-funded Downtown Revitalization Initiative, Ruff said.

“Odor control could be a bigger issue (after it’s devel-

oped),” he said.

The resolutions passed by the council on Sept. 6 reconfirmed approval for the department to issue a bond of up to $17,410,000, though the city likely won’t move forward with the project until securing grant funding, according to Ruff.

Councilor Patrick McFarlin (Ward 5), upon seeing the pricetag, asked Ruff how much building an entirely new plant would cost.

“Around $100-200 million,” Ruff replied.

“So (this project) is small change compared to —” McFarlin said.

“It’s a fraction of the cost,” said Ruff.

Ruff said that when it came to relocating and building a new facility, the money is just one part of the equation.

Zoning, permitting, siting and getting the public buy-in?

“It’s as big of a challenge as getting the money,” he said. ■

State bolsters cybersecurity ahead of fall midterms “Impossible” to hack voting machines, say county officials

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | As fears of election tampering loom large, the state Board of Elections is rolling out bolstered security measures to safeguard against possible threats this November.

The state agency has strengthened cybersecurity training for local election officials.

They’ve also created a new centralized security center to increase state and county response to incidents, and have numerous tech upgrades planned, including intrusion detection and managed security services devices for all county boards of elections.

Those tools will be “formidable” for county election boards once completed, said Todd D. Valentine, co-executive director of the state Board of Elections.

“It will include round-the-clock monitoring and management of (intrusion detection systems) and firewalls, rigorous patch management, security assessments and audits and help in responding to emergencies,” Valentine said in a statement.

ONGOING THREATS

New York state voters went to the polls last Thursday for primary contests, the first statewide election since 2016.

The U.S. intelligence community has determined Russia tried to influence the 2016 presidential election in order to benefit President Donald Trump.

Twelve Russian intelligence officers were indicted in July for hacking the Democratic National Committee, resulting in the first indictments in the special counsel’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

Intelligence officials have repeatedly warned Russia or others are continuing to seek to disrupt the electoral process, and election security risks are now among the “principal security threats” facing the nation, said U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Cheryl Couser, a spokesman for the state Board of Elections, said there is no indication any attempts have been made to compromise the state’s voting system.

“None,” Couser told The Sun.

EXTENSIVE TRAINING

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security earlier this summer co-hosted a series of regional “tabletop” scenarios with local officials and the state Board of Elections that cycled through potential scenarios and risks, including social media manipulation and disruption of voter registration databanks and voting machines.

Officials from the Clinton County Board of Elections participated in a training session with state and federal stakeholders at the U.S. Oval last month.

Clinton County Republican Election Commissioner Greg Campbell declined to discuss specific details, citing sensitive security concerns.

“It was a pretty extensive training program,” Campbell said.

Campbell said he felt “very confident” heading into Thursday’s election, citing the closed system used by county election boards statewide.

New York state uses paper ballots that are fed into voting machines, which are essentially inert metal boxes until workers insert a card into the unit to calculate the ballots.

The machines, which are kept in secure locations, do not contain online ports, resulting in a “air gap” to ensure the secure transfer of data.

“At no time does anyone from the outside have the ability to access machines or the ballot itself,” Campbell said.

Campbell likes the paper ballot system. Some states have had issues with touchscreen devices, he said, including Georgia, where a good government group is suing the state, contending the machines are susceptible to hacking.

There have also been cases where a voter selected one candidate using a touchscreen device, but programming issues resulted in the vote being tabulated for another, Campbell said.

Touchscreen devices also cannot verify voting records, he said, but paper ballots can ensure votes can be manually recounted if necessary.

“It’s got some great redundancy built into it, and we feel very confident,” Campbell said.

NO WAY TO HACK

Officials have historically been concerned over the prospects of a bad actor sitting outside of a polling place with a laptop to hack into a voting machine with the intent of manipulating results.

Essex County Board of Elections Republican Commissioner Allison McGahay said doing so is impossible under the state’s system.

“There is no way for someone from the outside of the polling place to hack into the voting machine,” McGahay told The Sun. Machines in Essex County are kept in a secure unit with no internet access until Election Day, when they are dispatched to polling places around the county.

Once polls close, cards containing the vote tally are transported in a sealed bag by a sheriff’s deputy to a sealed unit of the board of elections in Elizabethtown, where the cards are inserted into a computer and the information is downloaded onto a memory stick.

The device is then transported to election headquarters, where the results are uploaded online by a bipartisan team of staffers.

The stick is then scrubbed and erased for later reuse.

New York state also backs up voter registration databases to avoid potential disruptions by hackers.

“We as boards of elections are constantly backing up data to ensure if it’s wiped out on one system, it’s backed up on another system,” McGahay said.

Additional security measures include mandatory “logic and accuracy testing” of the voting machine setup before each election, as well as a random audit of three percent of the machines used in each county following every election. ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

Mooers Free Library celebrates 101st birthday Anniversary, grand re-opening ceremony draws crowd

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

MOOERS | The grand re-opening and 101st anniversary celebration for the Mooers Free Library had some stiff competition.

A youth soccer game was in progress across the street, and as locals gathered last weekend to mark the library’s longevity, a few eyes in the audience drifted toward the cheers sounding from the Northeastern Clinton fields.

“I didn’t know how many people we would get,” the library’s new director, Olivia Gillette, remarked as she rose from her desk near a corner of the building filled with children’s books.

But just outside the window, there were dozens of residents milling around the grounds eating Stewart’s ice cream, popcorn and food courtesy of West Chazy’s D&D Meats. One little girl, standing in the parking lot, held a cloud of cotton candy the size of a bowling ball in her hand.

“The response has been fantastic. We’re so happy to have so many people here today,” Library Board President Tim Gonyo told The Sun. State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) said that to this day, the importance of libraries “prevails across generations.”

“How many of you have heard that books are dead?” Little asked, looking into the crowd. “Well, that’s not true.”

This small town library first opened in 1917, according to Gonyo, and it was through a recent project that the institution moved from its prior location onto School Street, within throwing distance of the Mooers Elementary School.

In a way, the celebration was at once a wink

toward the longevity of the community library and a nod toward the rebirth of this place.

“This is the community’s building,” Mooers Town Supervisor Jeff Menard told the crowd last Saturday.

It was through a collaboration between local business, dedicated volunteers, passionate residents and past board members that the new location came to fruition, he said.

“I’m very proud to be here today. It’s a great endeavor, and I wish them the best of luck.”

Residents perused the Mooers Free Library’s two sections, a main library room and a community room, which the library board hopes will blossom into a combination venue, lecture hall, event space and more.

Though the library’s relocation project has been ongoing since 2012, this isn’t the end, according to Library Treasurer Art Menard.

New furniture and other upgrades are still planned throughout the next year.

A number of local officials attended the grand re-opening and 101st anniversary celebration at the Mooers Free Library last weekend.

Town Supervisor Jeff Menard, Northeastern Clinton Central School Superintendent Robb Garrand, Clinton County Legislature Chair Harry McManus (Area 1), state Assemblyman Billy Jones, state Sen. Betty Little and a representative from Rep. Elise Stefanik’s office each appeared to speak about the library and highlight its importance to the area.

perintendent Robb Garrand said the building’s close proximity has created an opportunity for a new pathway, both literal and figurative, between local students and the town’s library.

“In the future I see a pathway from the school,” he said.

“We’re going to be looking at having the classes come over and get library cards,” Gonyo told The Sun. “We’ll be looking at them coming over for after school programs.”

Gonyo also said that the library board hopes to eventually expand the grounds to include a community garden and park.

“We are going to continue to develop this property,” Gonyo said. “We’re hoping to really make this a place people want to come and spend some time.”

The Mooers Free Library is open Mondays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Tuesdays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Fridays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ■

North Stars fall to Tri-City Spartans in regular season finale

By Steve Criss

SPORTS REPORTER

PLATTSBURGH | In one on the wildest finishes you will ever see in a football game, the Tri-City Spartans defeated the Plattsburgh North Stars 27-23 Saturday night at Melissa Penfield Park in Empire Football League action.

The North Stars (6-4) finished as the thirdseed in the upcoming EFL playoffs and will travel to Utica to take on the Second seed seed Yard Dogs (7-3) on Saturday, Sept.

22. Top seed Hudson Valley (8-2) will host the fourth seed Spartans (6-4) in the other semifinal matchup.

“The fact that Utica beat Glens Falls made

our game irrelevant in the overall scheme of things,” said North Stars head coach Scott Aguglia.

Tri-City quarterback Nokia Boozer hit Valentino Smith with a 21-yard touchdown pass with just 16 seconds remaining in the game to give the Spartans the victory. Plattsburgh had taken the lead with 1:09 remaining as Harry Rascoe found a wide open Tre Bucci down the left sideline for a 53-yard score to give the Stars a 23-21 advantage.

Plattsburgh seemed on their way to victory leading 17-15 after kicker Thomas Montanaro’s 33-yard field goal with 13:07 left in the fourth quarter. The North Stars had the ball on the Tri-City 20-yard line with 1:40 remaining when the Spartans’ Damian Montgomery intercepted a pass and returned it 75-yards

for a touchdown and left the Plattsburgh crowd stunned in disbelief.

“We made too many mental mistakes,” said Aguglia. “Hopefully we learn from them and are a better team heading into the playoffs.”

Plattsburgh jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter thanks to a game opening 90-yard kick off return by Brandon Sawyer and a two-yard touchdown pass from Rascoe to Jordon Keleher. Kireme Pitts got the Spartans on the board as he powered his way to a 38-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Tyler Toulzen then booted a 29-yard field goal to close the gap to 14-9, with the North Stars leading at the half.

Tri-City, based out of Schenectady, took the lead (15-14) with 7:50 left in the third

quarter on a 13-yard touchdown run by Boozer.

Boozer completed 14-of-26 pass attempts, good for 204 yards through the air. Boozer also led Tri-City with 84 yards rushing and Pitts chipped in with 83 for the winners.

Plattsburgh was led by Sawyer’s 59-yards on the ground. Rascoe finished with 196 yards through the air for the Stars. Plattsburgh will now have to regroup for the playoffs and face Utica on the road.

“We are looking forward to a good week of practice,” Aguglia said.

The two teams split their two regular season meetings. Utica defeated Plattsburgh at home, 34-26, back on July 14. Plattsburgh returned the favor by handing the Yard Dogs their first loss of the season at the time, 23-20, on Aug. 18 in Plattsburgh. ■

PHS Hornets up to the challenge in 17-13 win over Peru

By Steve Criss

SPORTS REPORTER

PLATTSBURGH | Plattsburgh High School junior quarterback Ian Detulleo threw two touchdown passes to Tyler Phillips to lead the Hornets to an exciting 17-13 win over the Peru Indians Friday night in CVAC football action Sept 14.

The Class B matchup between Peru and PHS was played in front of a large crowd at the Plattsburgh Athletic Complex.

Phillips, who has been a two-time all star for PHS on defense, caught a 41-yard catch-and-run play from Detulleo with 5:35 remaining in the second quarter to tie the game at 7-7. Phillips eluded several would-be Peru tackler’s on the play. Liam Rascoe then booted a 30-yard field goal to give the Hornets their first lead of the night (10-7) with just 7 seconds remaining in the first half.

Detulleo, another returning all-star for PHS on the defensive side of the ball, was very steady from the quarterback position.

“Playing QB is still relatively new to Ian,” said Plattsburgh High coach Pat Keleher. “But he has definitely made a lot of progress after just three weeks.”

Detulleo and Phillips hooked up for their second touchdown of the night on a 21-yard score with 3:18 to go in the third quarter to put the Hornets up 17-7.

In the fourth quarter, PHS turned to their hard-working running back Lestyn Williams, who had 85 yards on 20 carries, to consume time on the clock and try to preserve their 10-point lead.

“Oh my gosh, this feels really good,” said Williams after the game. “I trusted my linemen and I ran as hard as I could tonight.

When Peru had the ball late, I really believed in our defense.”

PHS cornerback Dylan Garrant led the PHS secondary, covering the talented Peru receivers throughout the game and limiting standout Peru QB Ryley O’Connell to 132 yards passing and zero touchdowns.

as Alex Palmer ran for a touchdown from four yards out to close the gap to 17-13 with just 2:13 remaining in the contest.

Peru tried an onside kick but Plattsburgh’s Jayvon Carpenter was there to smother the attempt for the Hornets.

PHS was able to run out the clock from there to remain unbeaten at 3-0 on the young season. Peru drops to 2-1 with the setback.

“It was a great high school football game,” Keleher said.

“Both teams played hard and battled to the end. I’m very proud of my kids and I think we grew up a lot on Friday night. It was great to see the huge crowd and fun atmosphere.

This was ‘Friday Night Lights’ as it should be.”

Plattsburgh will now travel to Linney Field on Friday night to take on a tough Moriah Vikings (1-2) squad at 7:30 p.m.

The Indians will travel to Beekmantown to face another Class B opponent in the Eagles (3-0) on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. ■

PLATTSBURGH | Maddy Woodward hit the crossbar thirty-seconds into the game for Plattsburgh High.

Unfortunately for the Lady Hornets, that is the closest they would get to the Beekmantown nets as the Lady Eagles shutout PHS 2-0 in Division I Northern Soccer League action on Thursday, Sept. 13.

“I thought our defense played really well,” said Beekmantown coach Peter Bursik. “We put Rylee Fesette on Brina

Beekmantown holds off determined Saranac Chiefs

By Steve Criss

SPORTS REPORTER

BEEKMANTOWN | The Beekmantown Eagles did not win the statistical battle versus the Saranac Chiefs on Saturday in CVAC football action.

The Eagles did win the game however, with a hard-fought 15-13 decision over a talented Chiefs squad.

Led by the running of senior Christian Moura, who gained 120 yards on 18 carries, Beekmantown ran their record to 3-0 on the young season.

The game came down to a two-point conversion pass with 14 seconds remaining after Saranac QB Luke Maye hit Jacob Nolan on a 17-yard scoring strike in the right corner of the end zone. The Chiefs lined up for the conversion in the shotgun formation and Maye was flushed out of the pocket to his right by Beekmantown lineman Dylan Seymour. Maye’s pass was knocked down

by the Eagles corner-man Jalen Belrose and the Eagles held on for the win.

“I tried everything within our defensive schemes to keep Saranac out of the end zone,” Beekmantown coach Jamie Lozier said. “I mean, we didn’t have the ball on offense a whole lot and that’s a credit to Saranac. We are still making a lot of mistakes on the offensive side of the ball. It didn’t help that we had three turnovers in the game.”

Saranac capitalized on the Eagles’ first turnover as Andy LeBeau pounced on a fumble at the Eagle 22-yard line with 5:55 remaining in the first quarter. On second-and-goal from the Beekmantown three yard line, Maye ran the ball in for the game’s first score as he followed some great blocking by his offensive line.

Garret Adolfo’s extra point gave the Chiefs a 7-0 lead with 4:03 left in the opening stanza.

Saranac had a touchdown called back on a holding penalty with 2:04 remaining in the first quarter which would have been huge for the Chiefs faithful. The two teams traded

punts early in the second quarter and then the Beekmantown defense came up big as Matt LaValley stepped in front of an errant Maye pass and returned it 42-yards for an Eagles touchdown with 5:38 remaining in the first half. Cade Preston ran in a two-point conversion and Beekmantown held an 8-7 lead as the teams headed to the halftime intermission.

Beekmantown increased their lead to 15-7 as Moura broke free for a 30-yard touchdown run and Alex Trudeau added the point-after with 6:20 left in the third quarter.

The Chiefs and Eagles battled the 80degree heat and humidity throughout the game, which seemed to hurt Saranac’s smaller roster more, as several players were experiencing cramping throughout the contest.

Maye also injured his ankle after he was sacked

by Beekmantown’s Ryley Rafalko. Maye had his ankle taped by the Chiefs coaching staff and showed no ill effects from the injury as the game played out in the second half. Maye completed 15- of-25 pass attempts, good for

180 yards. Maye also led Saranac in the rushing department as he gained 79 yards on 17 carries.

“Luke Maye is the best quarterback I’ve seen in a while,” said Lozier. “We had to start stunting and stuff to try to slow him down a little bit. He still had success throwing the ball to Jacob Nolan and Isaac Garman even though we threw a lot of different coverages at them. I’m interested to see how other teams will try to stop Saranac down the road because they gave us a big challenge.”

Beekmantown received strong defensive efforts from Jaden Maldonado and Connor McGinnis from their linebacker slots, while Kaden Myers chipped in with an interception. Casey Breyette and Nick LeBeau stood out for Saranac on defense.

The Chiefs will look to get back on the winning track on Friday night down in Clintonville as they will battle the AuSable Valley Patriots (0-3).

Beekmantown will now prepare for their Class B rivals, the Peru Indians (2-1), on Saturday for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff. ■

PLATTSBURGH | Section VII had its first chance to show off the 2019 state championship course at Plattsburgh State with this year’s running of the Section VII Invitational last Saturday.

Along with a majority of local schools, runners from Section X and II joined the races, where the Saranac Lake boys and Peru girls team captured the team crowns for the day.

Saranac’s Rachael Woodruff finished first in the girl’s race, while AuSable Valley’s Lily Potthast was second. Saranac’s Elise LePage finished fourth, while Seton Catholic’s Lea DeJordy was fifth.

Peru’s Kaylee Amoriell placed sixth, with four other teammates — Ingrid Baggett (12), Ella Messner (13) and Harley Gainer (15) — placing in the top 15.

Katie Samperi was Saranac Lake’s top finisher in 10th, while Harley Cohen placed 14th for Lake Placid, Nora Graves 16th for Plattsburgh High and Enya Sullivan 20th

for Beekmantown.

Saranac followed Peru in the team standings in second place, while Lake Placid placed fifth, Saranac Lake sixth, Seton Catholic seventh, Plattsburgh High ninth, Beekmantown 12th and AuSable Valley 13th.

In the boy’s race, Nate McNally of OFA scored a six second victory over Saranac Lake’s James Catania in the individual race, while the Red Storm earned the team title. Anderson Gray placed third for the Red Storm, with Jacob Alberga, Peter Fogarty and Micah McCulley placing in spots 10 through 12.

Lake Placid’s Noah Fine and Jesse Izzo placed fifth and sixth, while Jake Glicksman led Seton Catholic with a seventh place finish. Sam Carter came in 14th for Saranac, Spencer Daby 15th for AuSable Valley, Grant Moravec 21st for Beekmantown, Ian Campbell 27th for Plattsburgh High and Andy Mazzella 41st for Peru.

Lake Placid finished third behind the Red Storm and Franklin Academy in the team standings, while Beekmantown placed fifth, Seton Catholic sixth, Saranac seventh, PHS eighth, Peru ninth and AuSable Valley 11th. ■

City schools offered inadequate phys-ed, audit finds State Education Department.

“By not providing the required level of PE for elementary school students, the district is noncompliant with state regulations and risks negatively affecting its students’ academic performance as well as contributing to childhood obesity,” Deputy Comptroller Gabriel Deyo wrote in the audit report, noting that childhood obesity affects 12.7 million children and adolescents in the United States.

According to the state Comptroller’s Office, the district is required to provide elementary school students with 120 PE minutes each week.

The Plattsburgh City School District provided 80 PE minutes — 40 minutes, or 33 percent, less than the minimum required.

“While the district scheduled all students for PE and students generally attended classes, elementary school students (grades K-5) did not

PLATTSBURGH | The Plattsburgh City School District has been directed by the state Comptroller’s Office to step up the amount of physical education (PE) time its students receive on a weekly basis.

The order came after a yearlong audit revealed that the district wasn’t meeting minimum PE requirements regulated by the New York

receive the required amount,” the report reads.

“In addition, the district should have provided grades K-3 with five PE classes a week but provided two; and should have provided grades 4 and 5 with three PE classes a week but also provided two.”

In response, the district has promised to remedy the concerns outlined in the report.

“The required number of PE opportunities and minutes each week will be documented within the PE plan for all grade levels to follow the commissioner’s regulations,” Plattsburgh High School Athletic Director James Manchester wrote on behalf of Superintendent Jay Lebrun.

The district is expected to supplement elementary school students’ existing 65-80 minutes of PE with instructors with an additional 40-55 minutes of PE run by teachers, using

a list of activities provided by the instructors.

The Plattsburgh City School Board of Education was also directed to develop and adopt a “comprehensive PE plan that meets the commissioner’s regulations” and file it with the state Education Department within 90 days, according to the report released this month.

Manchester said that the district plans to file the plan by the end of this month.

The Plattsburgh City School District was one of 10 districts throughout the state audited by the Comptroller’s Office to determine PE compliance.

Plattsburgh’s audit was conducted between July 2016 and June of last year.

Plattsburgh schools spent approximately $347,000 on PE during that fiscal year. The total budget for 2016-17 was $41.7 million. ■

Plattsburgh pride parade returns for third year Trans-rights activist headlines annual event

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The Adirondack North Country Pride Parade returns next weekend.

Now in its third year, the annual LGBTQQIA celebration will again be hosted at Plattsburgh’s Trinity Park starting at noon, Sept. 29. The event runs through 4 p.m.

This year’s guest speaker is Juli Grey-Owens, a Long Island-based transgender advocate and executive director of Trans PAC, a transgender-rights political action committee.

“As in previous years, we’ll also have speakers from local government,” said organizer Kelly Metzgar.

New this year is an event at SUNY Plattsburgh the preceding evening, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. in the Cardinal Lounge.

Grey-Owens will host a forum titled, “Everything You Wanted to Know About LBGTQQIA and the Issues Effecting Our Community.”

There’s no charge to attend, Metzgar said.

“LGBTQQIA” stands for “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and allies.”

Also new is a revised parade route. Where last year the group walked from the downtown core up to SUNY Plattsburgh, this year they’ll circle from Trinity Park to Margaret, Broad and Oak streets.

There will again be no road closures, marchers instead being confined to the sidewalks, a condition set by the Common Council in order for the event to receive approval.

By confining the celebration to the sidewalks, the city will save upwards of $2,250 in Plattsburgh City Police overtime and $3,000 in Department of Public Works overtime.

“We’ve also changed the route to focus this year to focus more on downtown businesses, and keep our marchers there (to encourage them to visit local businesses).”

There will be multiple vendors set up in Trinity Park with

And yes, that “other entertainment” will include a drag show.

“We’ve got a lot more people in the drag show this year,” said Metzgar.

“It’s important that we come together to show that we’re a community of people deserving of basic human rights,
