Task force seeks to combat heroin in the North Country

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — A woman in her early 20’s did 15 bags of heroin a day, spending $450 daily after obtaining the money through sexual acts, stealing merchandise and transporting and shipping drugs.

Chief Desmond Rascicot of the City of Plattsburgh Police Department shared this story of this woman the department arrested during a forum focused around heroin and opioid use.

The Assembly Minority Task Force on Heroin Addiction and Community Response held a regional forum aimed at identifying problems and weaknesses in current efforts

to combat the rampant heroin epidemic.

“Heroin addiction is not a new problem, but the increasing number of users and deaths is an alarming new trend,” Assemblywoman Janet Duprey said. “This drug has crept into our homes and our schools — leaving a path of destruction in its wake, and together we can fight this epidemic.”

Duprey was joined by Assemblyman Joseph Giglio, task force chairman, Assemblyman Al Graf, a task force member, and Assemblyman Dan Stec on Wednesday, Sept.

30 to listen to the comments and concerns of local parents, law enforcement, health experts and educational officials on heroin and opioid use on how to help improve and solve this epidemic.

“Solving this epidemic in our communities will require a commitment to finding effective long-term solutions for preventing and treating heroin addiction,” Giglio said. “The forums are an opportunity to invite stakeholders to share ideas and allow us as legislators to develop a comprehensive plan to combat the destructive effects of heroin.”

CHAZY — It was like Christmas in August for children attending Chazy Central Rural Elementary School.

The school has upgraded their old wooden playground into a new play area made up of bright red, green, and yellow plastic and metal equipment for the children to enjoy.

It is now safer for the kids, said Jenny Langlois, second grade teacher at Chazy Central Rural Elementary.

“We were dealing with a lot of splinters,” she said. “It was dated and it was time to get a fresh one if we could.”

State and taxpayer funds were used to help complete the project, said Chazy Central Rural Elementary Principal Robert McAuliffe. They were also used to help improve the school’s wifi system and swimming pool.

“We got a lot of good use and money’s worth out of the old one (playground), but it was time for a new one,” said McAuliffe.

With the help of a building committee, compiled of community members and parents of the PTO, some of which who work at the school, they were able to pick out equipment that >> Story Continued | pg. 14

Cadyville Fire Department to host Open House Oct. 17

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

CADYVILLE — The Cadyville Fire Department will be hosting an open house Oct. 17 from noon to 4 p.m.

“People should attend this event to support the fire department,” said Chuck Kostyk, assistant chief of the Cadyville Fire Depart-

ment and public relations chair of the Clinton County Firefighters’ Association. “Also, people should attend this event to get a better understanding of what the fire department does and what we offer to the community.”

Throughout the afternoon, both kids and adults will be able to immerse themselves in the life of a firefighter by partaking in a variety of events.

For kids, there will be fire truck rides and the Clinton County Firefighters’ Association will be bringing in their 32’ long Scotty Fire Safety House trailer, which features three different rooms for face-to-face instruction on fire safety topics.

The front room is a kitchen setting that features a series of fire safety violations or problems that participants are asked to identify. A second room is a living room

with violations or problems with a fireplace and a door to check for heat. The last room is set up as a mock bedroom that can be filled with smoke, which activates smoke detectors so that participants can practice a home fire drill and evacuate the house.

For an older audience, there will be smoke detector testing and live equipment demonstrations, such as how to use a thermal imaging camera.

Morrisonville EMS will also be there to show their equipment, take blood pressure and explain the services they provide for the community.

“It’s good to get word out to the community about what we do and the services that we have available,” Kostyk said. “We’re hoping to bring in some recruitment also.”

The event is free and open to the public.

Refreshments will be served.

For more information about the event or recruitment, contact the Cadyville Fire Department by 518-293-8326, chief@cadyvillefire.com or visit www.cadyvillefire.com.

At the Open House, there will be firetruck rides for children, along with many other events for both children and adults.

Public expresses concern on revised snow removal policy

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Concerned community members gathered for a public hearing on Oct. 1 to express their concerns with the revised snow removal policy.

While some members expressed themselves face to face to during the public hearing, others sent in letters and emails containing their concerns regarding the revised city policy.

Councilman Paul O’Connell read an email sent by community member Connie Durkee, who lives off of a three-lane road making it more difficult to clear the snow.

According to the new code, the owner of developed or vacant lot that adjoins a public sidewalk to remove snow and ice within 24 hours after public notice of the end of a snow or ice event.

The proposed code states that if the city plows deposit snow on a sidewalk with an average depth of more than six inches, then the owner is exempt from removing the snow, but that could still be a lot for some people of the community.

“Snow can be hard and even unsafe to shovel,” said Lonnie Fairchild, who was part of the Snow Removal Advisory Committee. “The city should not make residents clean up

any snow that plows accidently deposit on the sidewalk.”

If the snow is lower than six inches and the owner fails to clear or remove snow or ice within those 24 hours, city employees or designated independent contractors will remove and treat the snow or ice, but a fine will be imposed.

The fine is to be determined, causing a major concern for the public.

“Fines as a next step is just not acceptable,” said Nancy Allen, who was also part of the Snow Removal Advisory Committee. “The proposed code needs to go back to drawing board.”

During her testimony, Allen recommended a few options for the council to consider: adding primary routes of snow removal, having the City of Plattsburgh Department of Public Works coming up with a reasonable price and getting into the business of sidewalks or having prisoners shovel them themselves.

Another option, which was proposed initially by the Snow Removal Advisory Committee and brought back up to attention that night, was for the city to assume all operations of snow removal.

Fairchild, speaking in favor of this, claimed that she would gladly assume a fair share of the cost of maintaining the city although her home doesn’t have a sidewalk.

One of the Snow Removal Advisory Committee’s goals is that the city will assume all the snow removal operations by next year’s snow season.

This year’s goal, however, is to revise the current code to make the system easier, more streamline and direct, said Rachelle Armstrong, member of the committee and councilwoman for the city.

However, some people, such as local citizen Donald Romeo, are fed up with the entire situation.

“This sidewalk removal has be blown way of proportion,” Romeo said in a letter read by Mayor James Calnon. “Our senior citizens have enough to worry about without having to wonder when the snow police are coming to get them.”

A vote on this revised code will take place Thursday, Oct. 15.

Pictured left: Concerned citizen and previous member of the Snow Removal Advisory Committee Nancy Allen spoke her concerns about the proposed code, including the incorporation of a TBD fine.

Alice T. Miner Museum’s exterior wall part of ongoing renovations

By Natasha Courter

news@suncommunitynews.com

CHAZY — The exterior of the Alice T. Miner Museum may seem a bit different the next time you drive by.

The old stonewall out in the front has been completely demolished, said Ellen Adams, the museum’s director and curator.

A new wall has replaced the old, which has created quite a stir of excitement within the community.

“It’s very unusual for anything to change and I think that’s why it’s getting attention,” said Adams. “It’s very exciting for us as a museum to see it being rebuilt because it had fallen into very serious disrepair, and it didn’t really keep up the appearance that we wanted.”

The new wall now has a more modern look, which includes a flat marble top finish. Even with its new appearance, it hasn’t lost the 1920s elegance that the old wall contributed to the estate.

Restorations to the almost century-old property are in full swing, and the wall is just one of the many improvements to be completed.

“This is the first step in a multi-year project to revamp the grounds of the museum,” said Adams.

Other improvements to the property that have been completed include the replacement of the wooden window shutters and the old copper roof. The shutters are now a dark

green color that still keeps up with aesthetics.

“Our focus on the past has been on the collection and the building,” Kirk Beattie, museum treasurer, said.

People have had such a positive reception to this work because they love the Miners and what they have brought to the community of Chazy, he said.

“We’ve always looked to maintaining and resorting objects in the collection, and now that a lot of that has been done, we are looking more to the exterior to the building, such as the gardens and parking.”

There is a plan to create a new parking lot behind the building and Beattie believes the community is going to enjoy the new parking area because it has always been an issue when it comes to events.

The new parking area will not only help to allow the museum to hold more events, but it will also create less hazard.

“With the addition of the parking area, we are looking to add an outdoor space where we can hold functions,” said Beattie.

The addition of an outdoor space is meant to allow visitors to be able to walk the grounds and to be able to see the gardens that used to operate on the property.

Beattie hopes to create the outdoors space at the museum so they can restore the gardens and keep them maintained like they were in the past.

“We want to invite the public to come to the museum, we

gan a 21-year career with the Army Reserves and National Guard — retiring at the rank of captain — and went into working two jobs until retirement.

“I feel that I will be able to devote the time required of this position being newly retired,” he said. “I feel that serving one’s community is a way of giving back for the good things that this country gives us.”

Revette is a Saranac native who received a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the College of St. Rose and a master of science in teaching chemistry from SUNY Plattsburgh.

He’s currently an adjunct faculty member of the chemistry department at SUNY Plattsburgh and a retired New York State Police officer after almost 26 years of service.

Revette said because of the statutory rules of the Public Officers Law and regulations, he wasn’t able to run for any office even though he’s been active in the town for all of his life, but now he plans to.

If elected, Revette would like to focus on improving access to high speed internet and increasing the service area of natural gas.

Carter, if elected, would like to focus on reducing the speed limit on Route 3 by the Saranac Central School and update the Picketts Corners Park.

Both candidates would like to improve infrastructure in the town, replace or remove to bridges just off Standish Road and Route 3, such as and seek out funding assistance through grants and other means that they hope won’t increase the tax levy for town residents.

HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT Democrat Mark Lavarnway will be running against Republican Keith Cringle for the town position of superintendent of highways.

Lavarnway grew up on a farm in Saranac. From working on the farm, he went onto working in the woods for five to six years to the county highway for two years to the landfill where he’s currently the head operator. He ran for town board about 20 years ago and figured it was time to give it another shot.

Cringle, who was a fire chief for 10 years, has served on the town board for two years, been town supervisor for three terms, was superintendent of highways for a period of time. Though, he hasn’t held a seat in the town for 12 years, he attended the meetings and hopes to be reelected once again.

“I want to see things done in the town that haven’t been done,” he said. “A lot needs to be done with a little bit of money.”

want to host more functions at the museum, and outdoor functions we think the public would love to attend.”

One of the great things that the Miners did was establishing an endowment that provides income to operate and save money to spend on capital improvements and maintaining buildings and grounds, said Beattie.

The wall is just the beginning when it comes to upgrades on the exterior of the property. Community members are excited to see what’s next in keeping this century-old building up to par.

While the wall is just one of the many items to change on the exterior of the museum, a new iron gate is to go around the outside of the property in the near future.

Similar to the town supervisor candidates, the highway superintendent candidates would like to see the issues be addressed in regards to the bridges that need to be repaired or replaced, along with the repairing of roads.

TOWN COUNCILPERSON Democrat Gerald “Jerry” Delaney served two terms as a councilman. During this time, he was chairman of the Comprehensive Plan Committee, successfully lead the effort to get the Lyon Mountain Tract classified as Wild Forest by the APA, secured a $10,000 grant for a wood pellet boiler for Town Hall and volunteered many men and equipment hours on the construction of Picketts Corners Park.

Republican Tracy Eggleston is a lifelong resident of the North County who just retired from the New York State Police after serving 35 years as a senior investigator. Since he couldn’t seek election during his time there, he’s now wanting to run.

Republican Kirk Guynup, who is an active member of the Saranac Fire Department as both a firefighter and rescue technician, is a lifelong resident of the Saranac Valley who grew up just over the town line in Cadyville. He graduated from Saranac High School and started his career as a technician for a local technology company. In 2014, he accepted a position with the Network Operations department at SUNY Plattsburgh.

“I decided to run for one of the open town council seats because I feel that we all have a civic responsibility to help our town and our neighbors,” he said. “I feel that I can help us overcome a few of the imposing obstacles currently facing our town.”

Similar to the other candidates already mentioned, these candidates would also like to focus on the issues of taxes and repairing or replacing bridges and roads.

In addition to this, both Delaney and Guynup added the issues of cell phone coverage — stating that there are a few places that get great cell service, while others get none at all.

Democrat Roman Miner did not immediately respond for comment.

OTHER CANDIDATES For the Town of Saranac, there will be candidates running unopposed for three different positions.

Democrat Karen Waldron-Munson will be running for town justice.

Representative Mary Lou Bell will be running for town clerk.

Lastly, Democrat Mark White will be running for tax collector.

Cheese whizzes: local creameries to offer public tours

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

AU SABLE FORKS — Say cheese. Not names like cheddar, swiss or Muenster, but exotic-sounding noms de fromage like Dutch Knuckle, Herdmaster and Barkeater Buche.

The Adirondack Park hosts four farmstead creameries.

Three of them are located in Essex County.

The artisanal cheese biz is making headway in this rural pocket of the state, places where cows munching on grass in scenic alpine vistas is becoming increasingly common.

One year after the first Essex County Cheese Tour, producers are prepping for a follow-up.

Business is booming, say the creameries, who produce their products in on-site caves.

Asgaard Farm & Dairy established a creamery on their facility in 2008 and are continuing to refine their product offerings, which are derived from goats.

Ahead of this year’s tour, a loosely organized jaunt that will see three facilities open up their doors on Oct. 11, Asgaard co-founder Rhonda Butler said the Au Sable Forks-based operation is focused on tinkering with new recipes.

Ideally, they’ll roll out a new product in time for the holidays.

Creating a new cheese is a prolonged process, explained Butler.

Once a base recipe is conceptualized, experimentation commences in a small vat reserved for research and development purposes. Over time, the recipe is shaped and adjusted, a process that includes adjusting salt levels, starting cultures and changing one thing at a time until they zero in on a new profile.

It’s all done while the operation continues to produce com-

mercial items like their award-winning tomme, Greek-style feta and aforementioned Barkeater Buche, a soft-ripened cheese with a citrus flair.

Sugar House Creamery, which is located in Upper Jay, is also refining their product line. While the cheesemakers have slightly expanded their herd size this year, the dairy has narrowed their offerings from four to three cheeses in order to focus on quality and consistency, explained Margot Brooks, a co-founder.

“We’re really happy with our cheeses right now,” said Brooks, noting the popularity of their beer-washed poundcake.

The biggest challenge?

Making enough to meet demand.

To produce more, Asgaard is thinking about expanding their herd, which currently numbers 48, by 20 percent.

Not only are more people choosing to buy local food, said Butler, but farmers are making great strides in sharing their stories with the public.

“I think they’re being heard,” said Butler, “and more people learning and developing a relationship with their local farmer is a very satisfying thing.”

Sunday’s tour is special because each of the producers all boast distinct attributes, said Butler.

Asgaard, for instance, is located at the former home of Rockwell Kent, the famed outdoor writer. North Country Creamery has on-site cafe, while Sugar House lies on a site, like its name suggests, that is rich with a legacy of sugar manufacturing.

Cornell Cooperative Extension Director Anita Deming said she hoped that each town in Essex County will eventually be home to an artisanal cheese operation.

“It’s almost food as art,” Deming said.

Each of the three are located about 20 miles apart. Butler hopes the picturesque drive, paired with foliage hitting its peak, will lead to a healthy turnout.

“It’s a perfect outing.”

Essex County Cheese Tour: Saturday, Oct 11. Each farm will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will house a different food service provider. For more information, and to download the tour’s brochure and map, visit roostadk.com.

said Steve Peters, superintendent of recreation. “We’re incredibly happy of the engagement with the community and the college that this event has, and we’re proud to provide family event.”

Individuals and businesses have the opportunity to own a “home” on Safety Street and showcase their businesses to thousands of local children who are accompanied by their parents.

adly no one wants to hear this, but we must.

Yes, we’ve had another disturbed person go on a shooting rampage, killing innocent students at yet another school.

Let’s face it, we have a problem and it’s not what you think it is.

The people leading this country can’t get past their political positions to solve any of the nation’s significant problems. The foremost of these, continued acts by mentally unstable people, must be addressed in a unified way.

I don’t believe the President’s action, taking the podium only a few hours after the shooting, served the nation as much as it did to speak to his political base and ultimately drive a wedge into the issue before anyone had all the facts.

This issue, keeping guns out of the hands of the unstable or those with mental health issues, like so many issues facing this nation can only be addressed when the solution is born from an open dialogue that addresses the specific causes, rather than using the event to advance an agenda.

Gun control advocates and second amendment rights advocates can address this issue and must address this issue, but it will only happen when both sides decide the solution is more important than the opportunity to score points for their position.

Both sides could do the nation and their constituents a great service not by selling out their principles, but by discussing viable solutions both sides can live with to enhance existing laws in such a fashion that we curtail these events.

We must accept the fact that this nation has many perspectives. No one is about to capitulate and so we must respect the position of each and yet still seek viable alternatives that provide relief.

The political walls must come down. Neither side of this or any political divide will ever solve any problem when the only choices are all my way or no way. A democracy doesn’t work that way.

Every time these leaders are driven to the mat over one of these issues our nation’s grid lock gets worse and the issues only fester until the next event causes a boiling point.

Until we get our act together and come to grips with our shared decisionmaking process we are just wasting time, money and in this case young, valuable lives.

Small governments big problems W

eeping, wailing and the gnashing of the teeth.

Halloween?

Nope.

Election year?

Depends on where you live.

Budget season?

Oh yeah.

We’re faced with a slew of problems here in the North Country — Brutal winters. Cabin fever. Long drives. An exodus of young people.

We’ve always managed to get by. But we’re growing increasingly wary of our future.

Local governments are loath to come out and say it, but we will: Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s two percent tax cap is a big problem — perhaps even an existential crisis.

This year, the state comptroller’s office has announced that towns must abide by a .73 percent increase for 2016.

Pennies on the dollar.

But unfunded state mandates — health insurance, retirement costs and Medicaid transportation, just to name three culprits — are continuing to rise, as are the cost of raw materials, and that’s to say nothing of the minimum wage increase monster lurking in the shadows, legislation that will set off a cascading effect and drive up costs, including in local government.

Where’s the relief?

Here in the Adirondack Park, where municipal governments are already handicapped by a sclerotic tax base, the cap is becoming a death knell — it’s a fatal car accident unfolding in slow motion.

Faced with flat discretionary income, municipalities are resorting to making decisions between providing services and keeping the lights on — That’s not a figure of a speech: Town officials are literally huddling over maps to determine which street lamps they will keep lit: bathing some residents in light while drowning others in darkness.

Now there’s a metaphor.

And it doesn’t seem like it’s getting any better.

We’re being squeezed to death.

What’s the solution?

The New York State Association of Counties just wrapped up their fall seminar in Lake Placid.

The group passed a flurry of resolutions, all with the same underlying theme: Help us.

Help with the creeping costs over which we have no control.

Help us with reimbursements from third-party health care providers.

Help with the skyrocketing cost of indigent legal defense system funding.

Stop shifting Medicaid costs to the counties.

Refrain from the unfunded mandates.

Above all, quit transferring the state’s constitutional fiscal responsibility to county taxpayers.

The list, which almost reads like a spiritual plea, is endless and some of the most damning trainwrecks have been glossed over — like the onerous training and requirements put on our firefighters and emergency service technicians, measures that are leading to a decline in enrollment and the shuttering of squads.

It’s depressing.

Local officials are baffled and beleaguered.

We give them credit because it’s a thankless job.

Look, Gov. Cuomo has done a lot for the North Country.

We respect some of his major policy proposals that aim to transform the region over generations: The regional economic development councils, expansive broadband initiative and bump in tourism funding are all appreciated and evidence that the state is deeply invested in our North Country future.

But they are also all examples of a measured, long-term approach that means very little when we’re sitting at town board meetings watching officials shake the loose change out of their couch cushions: Tourism dollars won’t keep the lights on; they won’t flesh out our EMT squads and won’t assist with creeping health care costs.

This approach, paired with the steady morphine drip of infrastructure grants, almost recalls a dysfunctional relationship.

We understand that the mutant tax growth in downstate municipalities needed to be curbed.

But what we really need is a major reform of the property tax system: Real property assessment should not be used to fund universal services.

Like our local officials have repeatedly mentioned, it makes no sense for services — like fire districts, for instance — to be based on assessed value.

Ad valorem? More like ad nauseum.

It’s time to take a serious look at real reform.

Stop funding abortion via Planned Parenthood To the Editor: Last year our tax dollars, $528. MILLION, went to duplicate services that medical doctors already provide in health clinics all around our country. We already give our federal tax dollars to provide health care for low income people. WHY do we have to DUPLICATE normal health services by funding Planned Parenthood to do what is already being done? The government should STOP double dipping into our wallets!

The scam is this: Planned Parenthood touts the “good” duplicate services they provide; breast exams, pap tests, cancer screening, etc. in order to get a half a BILLION dollars to fund the abortion industry! They promote the normal services to harvest the abortion customers. They would not fare well if they simply provided abortions. Why? Because we’ve come too far with technology and our elected officials couldn’t justify taking our money to fund abortion.

The only service Planned Parenthood provides that normal healthy clinics do not is ABORTIONS. So lets say what the truth is... YOU are funding ABORTION by funding Planned Parenthood. Even though they say currently none of the tax money goes toward abortion, it all goes to promote Planned Parenthood. Remove the duplicate services and what’s left to advertise? Abortion.

Let them stand on their own two feet as abortion mills, stop intertwining normal health services so they can look like a legit operation. Wake up people.

We’ve been fooled long enough. The emperor has no clothes.

Laws made to help deter teen smoking To the Editor: On September 15, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered R.J. Reynolds to immediately stop distribution and sale of four cigarette brands; Camel Crush Bold, Pall Mall Deep Set Recessed Filter, Pall Mall Deep Set Recessed Filter Menthol and Vantage Tech 13. According to an article written in the Washington Post that day, this is the first time the FDA has ordered a cigarette company to cease sale of a major brand cigarette (namely, Camel Crush Bold).

Thanks to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, signed into law by President Obama June 22, 2009, tobacco companies can no longer bring new tobacco products to market unless they can prove that it will not cause more harm to the public’s health than tobacco products that are already available. Under this law, the FDA compares new or provisionally allowed tobacco products to those that were on the market prior to Feb. 15, 2007. If the new or provisional product has potential to cause more harm than the comparison product, the FDA can now keep the new product from entering the market or pull a provisional product (like Camel Crush Bold) off shelves.

While the FDA’s regulatory authority will likely have limited impact on current tobacco users, hopes are the law will make it more difficult for tobacco companies to change their products in ways that appeal to youth. Camel Crush Bold featured a novel menthol capsule in the filter that the user could “crush” if they preferred menthol. It also contained additional “sweeteners and other flavor qualities,” an attribute that research has shown is attractive to youth. Removal of this product suggests that the law could dampen tobacco company efforts to entice young people into smoking. Now, let’s just hope the FDA continues to exercise its new muscle.

Impeach Cuomo Jr. To the Editor: Cuomo should be found guilty by a court of law for treason against the United States of America and the State of New York. Charges: Failure to uphold the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights and the NY Constitution. Anyone that saw him sworn in as governor of New York State, saw his hand on the Bible as he swore to uphold the above. He should be found guilty and thrown out of office. This goes for all the anti-America pro new world order elected officials. Maybe when Trump becomes president we will get rid of these anti-Americans. I still think the Adirondack Park should be

Here is Charlee, an adoptable cat from Elmore SPCA...

She’s a domestic medium hair, buff and white tiger cat, who arrived July 30. She weighs about six and a half pounds upon arrival and is about 1 year old.

Charlee is a sweet girl that started out as stray on the streets of Saranac.

She wandered onto a concerned citizen’s property covered in fleas and a bit thin. They took her in and gave her a flea bath and found out that their son was allergic to her. She was brought to Elmore SPCA to receive vetting and to find her forever home.

Charlee is doing great at Elmore and is a very sweet cat. She seems to like everyone she meets and solicits attention when she is comfortable with people. She would love to find a home with kids to play with and where she will get lots of attention. Charlee is now current on vaccinations, has tested negative for FeLV/FIV and is spayed. Come in and meet this gorgeous and loving cat that deserves a

a separate state. Then we could tell Comrade Cuomo the Magnificent (in his own mind) to leave office.

Answer this. Why was Cuomo’s ride out at 3:30 a.m. in a bad part of Brooklyn? My neighbor, who lives in Brooklyn, said it wasn’t safe there during daylight! Come on junior, was it a drug deal gone bad? Gun owners, it is time to say “no”! It is not our fault.

Lead officials ignore public To the Editor: Thom Randall’s engaging article, “Thurman fall farm tour to showcase rural culture” (Sept. 14), features a charming photo of children in a farm wagon. It seems ridiculous to claim that high officials in the state Department of Environmental Conservation would imagine threatening the countryside resurgence that the story illustrates.

But on June 29, my husband and I made the 2 and half hour trek up to Ray Brook for an official DEC hearing on the agency’s ten-year wildlife plan. The receptionist initially refused to admit us, saying that it was a staff meeting, but changed her mind after going into the room to inquire. Everyone else there was either a government official or affiliated with an environmental group.

We were astounded by the closing words of Joe Racette, the Albany DEC official who chaired the meeting and made the final presentation.

Mr. Racette ignored a request from the DEC’s Ray Brook official who hosts DEC’s public hearings and did not ask the audience for questions or comments. Instead he made a stunning closing pronouncement: “The Department’s priority is restoration of large predators.”

However, he emphasized, “This is not socially acceptable.”

Instead, he said, “we use…corridors…connectivity…habitat protection… and global warming” considerations to accomplish this.

Except for this last-minute remark, neither the term “large predators,” nor wolves or even cougars, were discussed at the hearing.

I‘ve been writing about DEC’s documented efforts to restore wolves in New York for five years; yet this is the first such pronouncement that I’ve heard at a public hearing.

Deception reigns. Wolves are not the gentle puppies displayed by their handlers who have toured the Adirondack region this year.

If you would like to learn facts from an international expert about real life wolves, their voracious appetite for deer and farm animals, the diseases that they transmit to people, wolf hybridization, and more, please join us at the nineteenth annual National Conference on Private Property Rights on Oct. 17 in Latham.

Here is Duke, an adoptable dog from Elmore SPCA...

He’s a German shepherd dog mix, black and tan, who arrived Sept. 29.

Upon arrival, he weighed around 73 pounds and he is 3 years old.

Duke is a lovely dog who is looking for his forever home. He loves to be around other dogs. This guy was rescued from a terrible situation a few years ago where his first owners bound his legs together to keep him from running around. He was in bad shape when he was rescued, but he is now in great health.

Duke is understandably a bit shy of strangers, but once he gets to know you, he will be your friend for life. It literally took ten minutes for him to get over his fear of meeting the staff at Elmore and he was leaning into us to get more pets! If you are looking for a big bad shepherd dog to protect you, this is not the dog for you; he is so sweet he would help the intruders carry out the tv. Duke gets along with

dogs (big and small) and although he has never lived with cats, he has had no negative interactions with them. Duke has not lived with kids, but when he has met them he has reacted positively. This gorgeous and gentle dog is now current on vaccinations, has been neutered and is in good general health. He will do well in most homes. This guy walks very well on a leash and would love to go for long walks with his people. Come in and take this sweetie for a walk!

M

ore than a few dozen people click onto a social site each morning and check to see what I post about the weather. I keep it simple with such descriptions as. “34 degrees, no breeze, clear skies over the river at 5:16 a.m.” The responses are delightful, like “83 degrees over the peaches”; 34 from the thermometer on the spare tire of my camper.”

I love learning new words. “Pluviophile” is one of them. It’s appropriate, as we watch reports of horrendous rains causing floods along the southeastern US coast this week. We have relatives in South Carolina and are worried sick about their welfare.

I don’t think any of us would enjoy seeing rains that don’t stop for days on end. But there are others of us who, according to one definition of pluviophile, are “lovers of rain who find joy and peace of mind during rainy days.”

I guess I fit that category. It comes from my late mother who loved nature.

During what she called a “gully washer,” she would say, “Gordie, get your rain coat and galoshes.” She would then take me by the hand and we would venture out into the storm, walking straight down the middle of our country road while being pelted by wind-driven blasts and surrounded by clashing thunder and brilliant lightening.

But she never called us pluviophiles. That’s a new one for me. I knew the word “pluvial” relating to what I think of as heavy rain.” It’s comforting to finally learn that my condition has a name.

“Petrichor” is another one. One definition describes it as “the earthly scent produced when rain falls on dry soil.” My mother always told me what I smelled during a rain storm was “the ozone.”

Then, of course, there are the ways we describe how hard it is raining. Kaye and I enjoy rain pelting down on the tin roof of our enclosed deck. We giggle and sing all the rain songs we know.

Phrases about rain? As right as rain, rain or shine, take a rain check, rain on your parade, and not knowing enough to come in out of the rain.

Other cultures have their own rain words and phrases. I love it when British meteorologists say, “It’s really tippling down out there today.”

I might echo the old farmer I once worked for: “We can’t get any hay in today, Gordie. It’s coming down like a cow peeing on a flat rock.”

s the temperature changes, so has the flavor of the local activities, and some of them are nothing short of delicious.

NAME THAT TUBER Which tuber is part of the lily family, has roughly four calories, and 5,000 years ago caused the first labor strike?

If you guessed potato, you are incorrect.

However, if your first inclination was that pungent garlic bulb, then you might already know about the garlic festival in Warrensburg.

At the celebration, there will be more garlicky things than you can shake a leek at.

The Warren County CCE Master Gardeners will give advice on growing cloves at home. Local vendors will offer various kinds of garlic. There is even a contest, with prizes, awarded for garlic inspired appetizers, soups, pasta, entrees, vegetables, and even desserts. Desserts?

Are you puzzled about the best way to decoratively display your garlic? Don’t fret, they’ve got you covered.

And people in Warrensburg wouldn’t consider inviting you to a tuber tribute without a little information on the medicinal uses and folklore surrounding the bulb.

If you want to go where Vampires dare not venture, then go to the Warrensburgh Riverfront Farmers’ Market on River Street in Warrensburg on Friday, Oct. 9 between 3 – 6 p.m.

SMILE AND SAY “CHEESE”

THE LOOKERS

Photographers as a whole are lookers. They live in a visual world that is foreign to many. They notice situations or groupings and are discriminating when selecting those that warrant a click of their shutter. Well chosen moments, recorded in a photograph, can highlight a moment or alter future events that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.

When and what one photographs is as revealing as another’s diary or dialogue.

This weekend, at PHOTOSHO 2015, a group of local photographers will share a bit of themselves by exhibiting their observations.

The public is invited to view the free presentation at the firehouse in Keene on Friday, Oct. 9 from 5-7 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 10 from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.

NEW LAND TRUST

Did you know there is a chunk of land, 287 acres to be exact, in the Northern Adirondacks that is open to the public for things like hiking, leaf gathering, and hanging out in nature? It’s called the New Land Trust (NLT) located 236 Plumadore Road in Saranac.

On Saturday, Oct. 10, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. you can also make apple cider, and bring a dish to share at the potluck dinner.

Perhaps, knowing three geocaching caches are hiding in the forest, will pique your interest. If you choose to go on this electronic/nature smash-up treasure hunt, don’t forget your Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device. Without them, the quest will be nothing but a walk in the woods.

However on a crisp October day, with leaves floating in the wind, a walk among the trees might be one of the best things on earth. You can take my word for it.

I write my column two weeks ahead, so please send the details of your events to me in time for inclusion in my column. Thanks� Linda@suncommunitynews.com.

Someone might take your photograph, but cheese is the focus of this outing. The Adirondack Harvest is sponsoring the second annual Essex County, NY, Cheese Tour.

This year, three artisanal creameries will be leaving their barn doors open on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2015, from 10 a.m.– 4 p.m. to share their modern dairy operations with the public.

If you decide to explore these cheese making masters, you will be treated to farm demonstrations, cheese tastings, and maybe you’ll come home with “farm fresh” foods. It doesn’t matter which farm you start at, on this self-guided tour. However, because each of these dairies is unique, organizers recommend visiting all three locations.

The three creameries include the Sugar House Creamery, located at 18 Sugar House Way in Upper Jay; Asgaard Farm & Dairy at Route 74 Asgaard Way in the town of Au Sable Forks; and of course, the North Country Creamery on the Clover Mead Farm at 931 Mace Chasm Rd in Keeseville.

As an aside, you may want to bring a camera, but don’t ask anyone to say “cheese.”

Someone always over does it, and you end up with a goofy photo.

It would be an image the photographers from the East Branch Friends of the

Arts wouldn’t bother to frame.

Pope Francis touches local hearts

Local families recount Philly pilgrimage

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — He came, saw and inspired.

More than a week after Pope Francis touched down for a five-day American tour, the effects continue to reverberate across the country and in the hearts of those he touched, including several Essex County families.

Father Francis Flynn, the roaming North Country priest who covers four Catholic parishes in the Champlain Valley, had a line on some tickets to the Pope’s Mass in Philadelphia.

He’d already seen Pope Francis before, he shrugged, when the pontiff decided to canonize Pope John Paul II and John XXIII a few years back in Rome.

Flynn made a few calls and the available tickets multiplied like fish.

The father fed the multitude, his flock.

Several local families soon found themselves at Pierce’s Service Station in Lewis, right off Exit 32.

The bus hissed to a stop and they got on.

It crept through the night and emerged in Philadelphia shortly before dawn.

Paul and Theresa White rubbed their eyes and exited with the others.

They were among the first. Before long, 1,200 other tour buses would join theirs in the Wells-Fargo Stadium parking lot in south Philly.

The Whites, Roman Catholics from Lewis, hopped on the metro, which ferried them into the city.

They made their way up Broad Street, and then to the Ben Franklin Parkway, the milelong route to the Philadelphia Art Museum where the People’s Pope was to speak and cel-

Theresa and Paul White ebrate Mass.

Banners containing simple messages hung overhead: Have the courage to be joyful.

Love is the measure of faith.

We all have the duty to do good.

The Whites found a spot. And then for the next five hours, they waited.

Every 10 minutes, a motorcade sped by, adding to the sense of anticipation.

The crowd swelled to over one million — not just Catholics and Christians, but folks of all stripes, all mingling together.

“For the first time, you really felt like a one in a million,” said Carol Schwoebel, who attended with her husband, Jeff, and their kids, Hannah and Abigail.

Activity swirled around them — Singing. Dancing. Praying. Chanting. Moments of quiet, reflective meditation.

The City of Brotherly Love.

As the Whites waited, the crowd designated a little girl as the official spotter.

Ruby sat perched on her dad’s shoulders — the girl who cried Pope.

And then it happened: the cheers made their way down the parkway in waves.

“It’s hard to explain the feeling and emotion as he approached,” said Paul White.

“There was such a surge of emotion coming from the crowd.”

Theresa felt excitement, and then a deep sense of calm.

The reverence and adoration for Francis was outstanding, she recalled.

Papa, papa, the crowd cried.

To be in the midst of such a huge outpouring of love was deeply moving, said the couple.

At one point, the Pope made eye contact

with an Elizabethtown-Lewis Central student, Emmalee Turner.

Pope Francis shared a brief moment with the teenager before the procession sped off.

Shortly afterwards, Il Papa exited his Popemobile and approached a baby.

Paul couldn’t see what happened next, but any number of viral videos — take your pick — show Pope Francis, the man Catholics believe is the physical embodiment of Christ on earth — beaming as he gives his blessings to babies as the crowd erupts in beatific rapture.

The Whites and the Schwoebels watched the Mass on a Jumbotron.

A cloud of reverence and silence descended on the city.

“There seemed to be so much love and peacefulness at that time,” said Paul. “It was hard to imagine that we live in such a noisy and often violent world.”

One million stood, sat and kneeled in the streets, following the ancient rituals.

Pope Francis spoke of the importance of family and the home in which a family resides, said Paul.

He spoke of the little gestures that tie us to holiness: Warm suppers or breakfasts makes faith feel at home. Little things within the home create a place for a family and their faith to grow, he said.

And the Father encouraged all to find God’s love in the small signs.

When it came time for communion, clergy and laypeople alike held up umbrellas as beacons and the crowd parted to receive some 220,000 wafers.

One million people.

Maybe more.

Pope Francis left the crowd with the following message: “In my home, do we yell, or do we speak with love and tenderness? This is a good way to recognize our love,” he said.

Grand opening of Max Moore Memorial Tree House announced PLATTSBURGH — The long-anticipated Max Moore Memorial Tree House will officially open to the public on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 10 a.m.

The two-hour opening event features live music, a unique “ribbon cutting,” a scavenger hunt and a bake sale. The event is family-friendly and open to all.

The community has awaited the opening of this universally accessible treehouse for many years and the Planning Committee is proud to host the grand opening.

The Super Super Serious Please Don’t Laugh band will provide family-friendly acoustic entertainment that will delight children and families and provide a fun environment for the event. Stewart’s will provide free beverages, including lemonade and iced tea. The Advocacy and Resource Center will present an universally accessible scavenger hunt along the Saranac River Trail that will be open to kids of all ages and abilities.

Instead of a traditional ribbon cutting ceremony, we invite children to race through our paper banner that was created at the ground breaking ceremony in May. The banner bears the

Max Moore Memorial Tree House logo as well as dozens of children’s handprints.

There will also be a bake sale that will accept donations of any amount. All proceeds go to the treehouse project to help finalize construction and ensure that maintenance funds will be available for the future.

Equipped with a special ramp, the tree house offers recreation opportunities to the entire community, regardless of age or ability. The design allows access by wheelchairs and strollers, creating an unique place where everyone can enjoy a real tree house and the scenic view along the Saranac River.

Construction of the treehouse is being completed by local contractor Dave Davis. Davis began construction on the project in May. “We had a few challenges this summer, thanks to Mother Nature,” Davis said, “and we’ll be finishing up construction until the opening event.”

Sponsoring the event are the Max Moore Memorial Tree House Planning Committee members, including representatives from Sunrise Rotary, the City of Plattsburgh and City

Recreation Department, the Advocacy and Resource Center, Friends of the Saranac River Trail and individual community members Autumn Love, Liz Hoffman, Nick Dubay and Ashley Cousens.

“We are so excited to see our dream taking shape” said planning committee member, Autumn Love. The committee hopes to be able to properly thank everyone in the community for their support on the project over the years. “I don’t know how we can ever thank everyone enough for making this happen”, said Love, “but we’re going to try!”

The Planning Committee invites you to join the celebration on Saturday, Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. to noon.

The treehouse project is still working to raise money to finalize the project and ensure maintenance funds are available for the future. A movie fundraiser event will be held at Cumberland 12 Theater in Plattsburgh on Saturday, Oct. 24. A special 10 a.m. showing of the movie Hotel Transylvania will be open to all. Tickets are $10 for all ages and include a free popcorn. Tickets will be sold at the grand opening.

PLATTSBURGH — Airborne Park Speedway’s ownership group has announced that the Plattsburgh facility is available for sale or lease. The move comes following a mutual agreement between owners Steve Fuller, Jamie Atkins, and Mike Bruno.

Bruno, the managing partner, will step down from his position effective Nov. 15; media director Justin St. Louis and marketing director Dick Therrien will do the same.

Airborne Park Speedway recently completed its 62nd season and operated under sanction from the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series in 2015.

Plans for a weekly competition format and schedule in 2016 are not presently known, though stock car special events and competition go-kart racing plans are under development.

An automotive and racing equipment swap meet and car show on Sunday, Oct. 25 will continue as planned. The Airborne Park Speedway 2015 Banquet of Champions will also go on as scheduled, to be held on Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Rainbow Wedding and Banquet Hall in Altona.

es. Fuller owns and operates Fuller Excavating in Keeseville and the Harmony Golf Club in Port Kent; Atkins owns and operates Northline Utilities in Au Sable Forks and manages an American-Canadian Tour Late Model racing team for his son and driver, Brandon Atkins; and Bruno owns and operates three Bruno’s Towing & Auto Repair facilities in Rutland County, VT and Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, VT. Fuller purchased Airborne Park Speedway in 2007 and made major facility improvements including the construction of two VIP suite towers and a new track surface. “I’m encouraged by the progress that the track made in 2015 and I want to see it continue to thrive as a race track in the future,” Fuller said. “Mike Bruno and the team that ran the track this year proved to me that racing will absolutely still work as a business, and they have left Airborne in a much better place than it has been in for many years.”

Atkins, a former racer, became part of the Airborne Park Speedway ownership group in 2009.

“We met or exceeded every goal that we set together this year and we saw many positive indicators for the future of racing at Airborne,” he said. “This decision has more to do with time than anything else. Airborne turned a big corner in 2015 and became financially viable for the first time in many years, and that is due to the efforts of Mike Bruno and the staff that he put in place this past year. Now it is important that we select the right person or group to come into Airborne and keep the racing tradition alive and bring the venue to the next

level.”

Bruno, a former champion driver at Airborne, joined the ownership group and was named the track’s general manager in November 2014. “We all love Airborne and this decision has been hard on all of us, but there came a point when reality set in,” Bruno said. “I am very proud of what we accomplished in 2015, but at the same time none of us want to sacrifice time with our families or turn our attention away from our own separate businesses. Our internal conversations about this started a while ago, but I think that the recent passing of racer Leon Gonyo only strengthened our desire to spend more time closer to home.”

Airborne Park puts Plattsburgh track up for sale

“INCREASING COMMITMENTS” For the ownership parties, increasing commitments to family and other business interests factored into the decision; all three members also own and manage separate business-

“PLATTSBURGH LOVES RACING” The current ownership group agrees that it is important for a new prospective owner or leaseholder to operate Airborne Park Speedway as a stock car racing facility with a local focus.

The facility is available for sale, lease, or event-ready rental.

“Plattsburgh loves racing, and the people of the North Country have been devoted to Airborne for more than 60 years,” Fuller said. “The race teams, sponsors, and fans have been our biggest supporters, and we did not want to leave any of them guessing about our roles at Airborne for the future. It was important for us to be honest with them about this decision as early in the off-season as possible.”

they thought the children would enjoy.

“We went through a process of looking through a variety of different playground companies and handpicked equipment to put on the playground,” said McAuliffe. “We finalized it in August and the students have been using it ever since.”

The grand opening of the playground in August brought in donations from the athletic association and the PTO said McAuliffe.

There was ice cream donated by the local Stewart’s and cotton candy, which was served by the community members, as well as a DJ that was donated by the PTO. Aside from the classic monkey bars, and new features like the circular bar that children hang from to spin around, the kid’s most favorite piece on the playground is the zipline, which allows them to move from one side of the playground to the other.

“It’s almost like sensory overload,” said Langlois, referring to the children’s reaction.

“They don’t know where to go first, but they absolutely love it.”

The playground has gained a lot of positive feedback not only from the children, but also from the parents and other members of the community too.

“We really got a bang for our buck,” said Langlois.

“The students are excited about the playground, and we are happy to have it,” said McAuliffe. “We are very thankful and are looking forward to a good school year.”

The school has other projects in the works, but nothing has been confirmed.

Chazy Central Rural Elementary School recently upgraded their old wooden playground into a new play area shown above.

Women’s Leadership Summit to take place Nov. 2

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PERU — This time of year, the region is alive with local and non-local students, each semester leading graduating students toward a new chapter in their lives.

The first ever Women’s Leadership Summit will take place Monday, Nov. 2 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Valcour Educational Conference Center, a networking opportunity for professional women and students in hope that some will remain in the North Country upon graduation.

Co-founded by Julia Overton-Healy, director of SUNY Plattsburgh’s Career Development Center, and Meg LeFevre, Town of Plattsburgh councilor, this event will offer an unique opportunity for professional women throughout the region while expanding the opportunities available to local students beyond their time on campus.

“The overall purpose of this event is to make relationships and give networking opportunities to students,” LeFevre said.

“This will give them a little more access to the business community and create mentoring opportunities for them.”

Both prospective students and professional women will each be assigned to a table and have a captain who will lead a conversation through a topic, such as mentoring opportunities and career advice. The summit will also feature keynote speaker and bestselling author Nicole Williams, founder of WORKS, a career brand dedicated to energizing and inspiring professional women.

Williams has been hired by universities around the world to help bridge the gap between academia and the corporate world, including Harvard, Barnard, Baruch, Columbia, Northwestern and now SUNY Plattsburgh.

“The fact that we’re able to bring her here and get her insight and perspective is extraordinary,” Overton-Healy said.

“It’s going to be an unique opportunity to meet her and meet other women beyond the boundaries of Plattsburgh.”

SPONSOR BENEFITS This event is not only looking for students and professional women, but sponsors to support the event - offering three sponsorship levels: diamond, emerald and ruby.

Diamond sponsorship for $500 includes six complimentary tickets, VIP pre-event reception from 5 to 6 p.m. with Williams, six signed copies of Williams’ book “Wildly Sophisticated” and a logo featured on all marketing materials.

Emerald sponsorship for $250 includes three complimentary tickets, three signed copies of Williams’ book and business logo featured on all marketing materials.

Ruby sponsorship for $125 includes two complimentary tickets and business logo featured on all marketing materials.

The event costs $30 for adults and $15 for students, which includes the event and dinner.

Tickets can be purchased online at plattsburgh.universitytickets.com and must be reserved by Oct. 25.

For more information, contact Overton-Healy at julia. overton-healy@plattsburgh.edu or LeFevre at meglefevre@ gmail.com.

“There are limits, obstacles and boundaries put on women who choose to pursue careers in and out of the home,” Overton-Healy said. “The more community we have among professional women, the more resources we have to work together to counteract some of those entrenched sociological barriers.

“When women succeed, everybody succeeds.”

Last Adk. Coast Wine, Cider and Beer Fest on tap, new harvest festivals to take over for 2016

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Frey family will be hosting last Adirondack Coast Wine, Cider and Beer Festival will take place at the Crete Civic Center Saturday, Oct. 10 from 2 to 7 p.m.

“We ran it for the past three years, we absorbed losses and we’re tired,” said Tom Frey, organizer of the event and owner of Elfs Farm Winery & Cider House.

The Frey family started this event four years ago as a way to promote local agriculture and agritourism opportunities in the area.

Frey started the event when he held the title of president of the Lake Champlain Grape Growers Association, now known of the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail Association.

Initially, Frey said, the association voted unanimously in favor of the festival, but they backed out of running the actual festival due to timing issues, since the festival falls right in the middle of harvest time and the smaller wineries struggled to do both.

The Frey family, however, decided to go through with it themselves. Throughout the years, the family grew it by adding beer and making it open to about 1,000 people, which will be limited to 600 people this year.

Though there won’t be a next year for this event, the association will be making up for it next year by taking it over and making a few changes.

REVAMPING ASSOCIATION OFFERINGS After hearing about Frey hosting the last festival, the association — comprised of Adirondack Coast Wine Trail wineries and cideries Elfs Farm Winery & Cider House, Vesco Ridge Vineyards, The Champlain Wine Company, Hid-InPines Vineyards, Amazing Grace Vineyard & Winery and Everett Orchards — decided to take this opportunity to create its first festival.

Dan Vesco, owner of Vesco Ridge Vineyards and president of the association, shared that the new event will be a harvest

festival. The date, time, location and name of the official event has yet to be finalized, but Vesco is hoping to host it in September of next year in a centralized location featuring wineries, cideries, breweries and distilleries.

Another topic that the association is discussing for next year is the Summer Wine Tour — where wine and cider lovers can visit each of the six wineries and cideries within the association.

“When you do the Summer Wine Tour, you spend about a half an hour at each location and then you spend another half an hour driving to the next location,” Vesco said. “The trail, for just six wineries and cideries, is a pretty long distance.”

The trail travels 66 miles from Mooers through Plattsburgh and Morrisonville down to Peru. Vesco said this year’s event wasn’t as successful as last year’s — part of the reason possibly being because of the distance people have to travel to get from one establishment to another.

So, the association has been talking about turning the tour into another event for the summer — finding a central location for all the wineries and cideries to get together and give people a chance to sample, sit down and relax without having to worry about driving from location to location.

Vesco said the discussion about the harvest festival in the fall and the changing of the Summer Wine Tour will take place during their meeting in November.

FREY FAMILY FUN Though the association will be taking over the event the Frey family started, they will still be hosting community events.

Frey said they’re currently in the planning stages for their second annual Plattsburgh Brewfest, which will take place Saturday, Aug. 6, 2016 at Plattsburgh City Beach.

The first event that took place in August, which featured over 30 breweries, cideries and wineries, was successful. So, they decided to return it for another year, featuring even more craft beverage industries.

Another new and successful event the Frey family introduced was the Michigan Festival and Michigan Master Contest, which brought in approximately 700 people with 300 turned away and 400 who parked almost a quarter mile down Route 9 and used 1,298 hot dogs — ending the day with only two left.

However, that might not be returning for another year due to permitting issues from the health department. But Frey said he hopes to fix those issues and have a second event, along with offering another Plattsburgh Brewfest in order to continue to bring people to the North Country.

“It’s all to bring awareness to this area and show that it’s a wine region — a cold climate wine region,” Frey said. “It’s unique from any other wine region in the country and that’s why the festival was started and that’s the spirit I hope it continues in: to bring attention to the Adirondack Coast.”

Tickets cost $45 for a VIP ticket (includes trolley bus, beverage tasting, souvenir glass and food ticket) and $10 for a designated driver ticket (includes one food ticket and one beverage ticket that’s good for a soft drink).

For more information, contact Elfs Farm Winery & Cider House at 518-563-2750.

Heroin addiction << Continued from | p. 1

were 49 overdose deaths — mostly all from heroin and opioids.

The Troop B Narcotics Enforcement Unit — whose sole duty is to investigate and combat all forms of narcotic-related offenses — has conducted over 300 controlled purchases and dealt with over 450 heroin cases in 2014 and this year has conducted 145 controlled purchases and has nearly 300 cases to date.

“Heroin in this region has become readily available and it’s cheap, plentiful, dangerous and affects every level of society,” Guess said. “Our goal is to break up some of the trafficking networks and take some of this dangerous drug off the street.

“The reality is that we’re not going to arrest our way out of this problem.”

In order to make people more aware of this issue, Franklin County Sheriff Kevin Mulverhill said that they’ve put on three heroin forums in Franklin County — two in Malone and one in Tupper Lake — and they also started a Drug Take-Back where people can get rid of their unused prescriptions and move forward from temptation and addiction. However, not everyone decides to use these services and suffers the consequences.

Once the people suffering from addiction are arrested, some of them are sent over to Tim Lawliss, Clinton County Family Court judge who served also for Clinton County Drug Court.

Lawliss shared his experiences of his time in Drug Court — taking their children away and sending them to jail if they don’t go to treatment, an experience bittersweet for him.

“It seems like every week there’s another drug bust and another group of people get arrested,” he said. “It destroys entire families and it’s destroying us rapidly.”

TREATMENT AND EDUCATION Stephens Mundy, CEO and president of The University of Vermont Health Network - Champlain Valley Physicians’ Hospital, shared how 10 people, just that day, walked through the doors with an issue related to drugs - most of which walked in and walked out an hour later after treatment.

“You literally save a life and the person is so into the disease that they ignore treatment, every bit of medical advice and walk out the doors most likely to use again,” he said. “We have to get these people to where they can help themselves.”

One solution, a couple speakers of the night brought up, is through educational programs.

James “Jake” Short, superintendent of the Plattsburgh City School District, mentioned how though opioids have a larger footprint in his school system, he’s had five alumni pass away in as many years because of heroin.

This past spring at SUNY Plattsburgh, a student overdosed on heroin in his dorm room.

His friends found him and called 911. He passed away a few days later. The following week, a college-aged women in the Plattsburgh community experienced the same fate.

Kathleen Camelo, director of the Student Health Center at SUNY Plattsburgh, mentioned how when high schoolers who transition into college also transition from opioids to heroin.

The campus takes all necessary precautions to try to prevent or solve the issue, including campus-wide surveys, educational presentations and forums and the training of all residence hall staff, faculty and university police in recognizing substance abuse and overdose and attempting to decrease usage in both the campus and the community, communities, surrounding it.

“Heroin addiction has become a real problem in our communities and it has crept into our backyards, streets and schools,” Stec said. “I cannot stress enough the importance of finding ways to prevent addiction from occurring, helping treat those who desperately need guidance to a full recovery and, lastly, assisting law enforcement in any way necessary in order to take control and rid our communities of this heartbreaking epidemic.

For more information on the task force, to make a comment or concern or to ask a question, contact the Assembly Minority Office of Public Affairs at 518-455-5073.

Troop B Commander Major Charles Guess of the New York State Police explained Troop B’s initiatives and efforts to combat heroin in the community during the forum.
