Plattsburgh State residence hall rehab completed Macomb, Mason Hall wrapped up; Whiteface, Kent on deck By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
PLATTSBURGH | Welcome to the new Macomb Hall. Over the last 15 months, SUNY Plattsburgh’s 57-year-old Macomb Hall has undergone a $15.2 million facelift. It reopened for occupancy with a ribbon cutting ceremony last week. White-walled dorms with gray wood-patterned flooring; renovated bathrooms, a bright kitchen with a blue-and-green tiled backsplash and an
expanded laundry facility were what awaited students as they returned for a new semester. Macomb Hall is the eighth of a dozen residence halls on campus to be renovated, as part of the school’s 10-year capital plan, according to SUNY Plattsburgh President John Ettling. “These projects focus on enhanced student experiences, energy efficiency and equipping buildings with the latest technology,” Ettling said in a statement. The upgrades at Macomb included the reconstruction of its 152-bed student rooms, a new lobby, the installation of an elevator and new offices for the school’s Educational Opportunity Program and Student Support Services. “We’re getting organized and settled in,” said Michele Carpentier, director of special services and assistant vice president for student

‘National Adult Day Services Week’ celebrated
She lived in the Elizabethtown area until 2013, when she moved to Plattsburgh. After a year-long stint at Behavioral Health Services North — where she first locked eyes with the man that would become her boyfriend, catching his gaze from across the room — she came to the Plattsburgh Rehabilitation & Nursing Center. Registrants of the Plattsburgh Rehabilitation and Nursing Center’s Adult Day Health program last Wednesday highlighted National Adult Day Services Week, an event spearheaded by presidential proclamation 35 years ago, with a celebration designed to raise awareness of the program here. For Aubin, it was a little scary when she first came to Adult Day Health. Being in a new place, she said, made her nervous. “But I thought, ‘It’s very nice,’” she said. “Everything seemed very homey, very cozy.” It was here, at the center’s Adult Day Health program, that she found a group of people that changed her life. “It has helped me tremendously,” Aubin told The Sun. The five-day-a-week program offers an alternative to traditional in-patient care, with access to customized nutrition, medical care, rehabilitation and more. “I’m an independent person. Here, I can come and go,” she said. Aubin can socialize with her friends in the daytime here, and still go home to her boyfriend at the end of the day. “I’m with my friends here,” said Aubin. “I feel a closeness with everyone here. We’re always there for one another.” Take away the medical and treatment aspect of the program, and the simple pleasures of life still shine through:

Giving back to community has real impact, say advocates By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
PLATTSBURGH | Denise Aubin has spent her life serving her community in local hospitals, kitchens and libraries. It’s the latter that she loved the most. Working with children, she said, was a passion of hers. “I loved the children,” said Aubin, 56, of her time volunteering at the Westport Library Association. “They are so important.”
