Cardinal Points in jeopardy following racial controversy Possible advertising pull-out may force student-run newspaper to close

By Natasha Courter

news@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The crisis continues for SUNY Plattsburgh’s weekly publication, Cardinal Points, as controversy surrounding a racially offensive cartoon enters its third week.

Program Advisor Shawn Murphy took to the Official Journalism Alumni Facebook page Monday with a plea: “Current CP editors need your help and have asked me to reach out to you on their behalf,” wrote Murphy. “Please write letters to editor by end of day this Wednesday that talk about the significance of Cardinal Points on this campus.”

HOW? The big question that is boggling everyone’s mind is, how did this happen? How did this cartoon — which, with a caricature of a black person with an aloof expression strolling >> Story Continued | pg. 5

Kent-Delord House Museum to honor Veterans Day PLATTSBURGH — In honor of Veterans Day and to acknowledge New York History Month, the Kent-Delord House Museum will be open Nov. 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. free of charge.

Inside the house, there will be a display of weapons from the museum’s collections, the British mess chest left behind when the British withdrew from Plattsburgh on Sept. 11, 1814 and the Medal of Honor awarded to the Reverend Frank Hall, who had married the granddaughter of Henry Delord and later resided in the home.

Also displayed will be some artifacts from World War II on loan from museum board members including scrapbooks and a Class A dress uniform.

Along with those, there is an additional treat that Wednesday. Re-enactors will be on the grounds. There will be a group of United States Marine Corps re-enactors present to discuss their gear and what it is like to simulate World War II. They will be bringing a military jeep onto the grounds.

Also, there will be members of the 16th New York Regiment, a Civil War unit, present to talk about that time period in our history. It was this regiment that the Reverend Frank Hall belonged to when he earned his Medal of Honor for gallantry in action at Salem Heights, Virginia, May 3, 1863. Many of the soldiers hailed from the Adirondacks.

For more information, call the museum at 518-561-1035.

Benefit to be held for Dannemora resident Nov. 14 Supervisor to host fundraiser for Sandy Martin’s cancer battle teah@suncommunitynews.com

LYON MOUNTAIN — In December 2014, Sandy Martin was diagnosed with glioblastoma when she was seven months

pregnant with her daughter, Avery.

Three tumors were discovered — two on her brain and one on her spinal cord.

Doctors waited until the birth of Avery to do surgery, but because of the location of the tumor on her spinal cord, the surgery deemed unsuccessful. The two on her brain also couldn’t be surgically removed due to fingers of the tumor extending into her brain.

The next step included radiation, which also deemed unsuccessful causing her to have three strokes.

In an attempt to find a treatment for her case, her and her husband, Gary, traveled to different cancer centers in Philadelphia, Buffalo, Burlington and more — all unsuccessful.

“It’s a very tough situation,” Gary said. “Nobody really knows what it’s like until you actually go through it.”

Now, the Martin family plans on embarking to more places such as Florida and Boston, who are currently doing specific testing for her cancer.

“We’re hoping to travel as soon as possible,” Sandy said. “It’s been hard.”

Friends and family of the Martin family are hosting a benefit Saturday, Nov. 14 from noon to 5 p.m. at Lyon Mountain American Legion Post 1623.

“A few of us who are in similar situations or had gotten in similar situations got together and decided to help Gary and Sandy out,” Dannemora Supervisor Bill Chase said. “We had to go through what they’re going through and we want to do the best we can to help the people who need help.”

The benefit will have a Chinese auction, raffles, 50/50 and spaghetti dinner with a salad, roll and dessert.

It costs $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.

Take outs will also be available.

For more information or to make donations, contact Mountain Marketplace at 735-4481.

City zeroes in on four areas for revitalization

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh hosted a community workshop last week to gather input regarding waterfront revitalization.

Working with Saratoga Associates, a consulting firm, the city hopes to make the area a destination point.

The group is zeroing in on four citywide areas, collecting perceived issues, opportunities and input in each, for both local and regional projects.

“The plan is meant to look into things that have happened before and things that are ongoing,” said Barbara Kendall from the Department of State. “It’s meant to reflect all the ideas from the community and it’s a strategy for people to implement their vision.”

fishing piers, make trail improvements to the museum campus, relocate the Municipal Lighting Department Storage Yard to reuse the land for mixed use and make streetscape improvements to improve access between the waterfront park, marina and downtown.

For Durkee Street, suggestions arose such as relocating the farmer’s Market and improving linkages to the arts district.

Community members suggested turning it into a gathering space for community activities, creating access to water sports and a whitewater park on Saranac River and making it open riverfront space.

“We’ve identified the Durkee Street lot as a priority project,” Basinger said. “We would like to develop something everyone would like to see and take the community forward.”

OLD BASE Emily Gardner, a planner with Saratoga Associates, presented an idea of what to do with the Old Base with a singular goal in mind: to maximize the tourism potential offered by the Battle of Plattsburgh and Battle of Valcour and to “protect, enhance and sustain” the Old Base and museum campus.

Gardner came up with the idea to incorporate a hub for a history-focused corridor from the Plattsburgh City Dock to City Hall and the Champlain Monument and from the City Dock to Fort Brown to the museum campus — providing pedestrian-friendly trials filled with history-related experiences and businesses.

Also, she suggested focusing on Fort Brown by adding interpretive displays and a parking area with pedestrian and cycling connections.

“We could enhance these opportunities and focus more on history,” she said. “We want to develop more recreation.”

Community members made suggestions as well, including making recreation facility improvements to Sailor’s Beach and its pier, creating connections from the Dock Street area and extending the waterfront trail (Terry Gordon Trail) and access points.

NORTH END Various groups pondered on what could become of the north end of Plattsburgh, consisting of Cumberland Corners, City Beach and the Crete Civic Center.

Suggestions arose such as recreational access to Scomotion Creek with a small parking and hand launch, improving and renovating existing facilities on City Beach and pondering what to do with the Crete Civic Center — whether to repair the roof, demolish it and build a new facility at the site or find another location in the city.

“This is an extremely important part of the city,” Mayor James Calnon said. “It’s really a valuable resource, so we want to be really careful that we consider everything and don’t rush into making huge changes.”

Besides the challenge of the center, other constraints arise, listed by Daniel Shearer of Saratoga Associates, including environmental issues, erosion and debris, private land ownership and distance from downtown.

The City of Plattsburgh plans to partner with the Town of Plattsburgh, Clinton County Destination Master Plan Committee and the state to enhance City Beach, capitalize on the full potential of the Cumberland Corners area and find a suitable location for construction of a regional indoor/outdoor recreation complex to replace the center either on- or off-site.

DOWNTOWN AREA For this portion of the workshop, Brit Basinger, also of Saratoga Associates, broke up the presentation by two streets: Dock Street and Durkee Street.

For Dock Street, suggestions came up to add pavilion and

CUMBERLAND AVENUE Community members questioned what could become of the Wilcox Dock and Cumberland Avenue area.

Some people suggested adding fishing piers, improved pathways, pedestrian access to Margaret Street and docking

for small motorized boats.

“Because we’ve invested in the marina down on Dock Street, I hear a lot of feedback from people concerned about small boat access,” Councilwoman Rachelle Armstrong said.

“In the future, I would really like to see opportunities for small boat docking.”

Matt Allen, of Saratoga Associates, said opportunities included redevelopment of the Wilcox Dock and Cumberland Bay Interpretive Trail.

Constraints, however, include the proximity of the paper mill and the trail making possible environmental impacts to wetlands.

NEXT STEPS Based on public input, the potential waterfront uses and priority concepts will be revised and presented at a follow-up workshop to be held on Dec. 9.

“The first steps revisit the concepts and the history and make sure we’re taking the right steps,” Calnon said. “This is really the foundation that we will take our next steps with to continue to develop our waterfront.”

Additional information and ideas can be submitted to Paul DeDominicas at dedominicasp@cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov by Nov. 15.

Film festival to feature global and local films

Lake Champlain International Film Festival runs from Nov. 13-15 in the newly renovated Strand Theatre

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Imagine traveling around the world in only two days.

You can do so at the 2nd annual Lake Champlain International Film Festival, which is set for Friday, Nov. 13-15.

The film festival started last year as a correlation between the Strand Center for the Arts and Plattsburgh Renewal Project to bring a new form of art to the area.

“Our mission is to connect the arts with the community,” said Joshua Kretser, executive director of SCA and member of the committee. “This is just a way for us to be able to expose the community to independent films.”

Members of the Lake Champlain International Film Festival Planning Committee reviewed over 50 films and narrowed it down to 30 based on time slots.

OPENING RECEPTION The opening reception will take place Friday, Nov. 13 from 7 to 9 p.m., free and open for all ages.

Paul Larson and Mountain Lake PBS will give a sneak preview of their soon to be released documentary “Arts in Exile: Tibetan Treasures in Small Town America” that will explore the ability of arts and culture to unify communities across the world, from Tibet to Plattsburgh.

“We’re excited to give the public an early glimpse at this film,” Larson said. “It takes the global issue of occupied Tibet and shows how the small American community of Plattsburgh is combating the tensions through arts and education.”

From Plattsburgh to Iran, “Autumn Leaves” by Saman Hosseinpuor is a four-minute film about a young Iranian girl walking to school in an ode to autumn.

“Manhatta” by Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler takes a look in this experimental film from 1921 where Walt Whitman’s poetry is used to reimagine New York City with all its architecture, industry and bustle on display.

In Julia and Michael Devine’s film “Burgh,” they link Plattsburgh to the grand tradition of city films like “Manhatta” — rediscovering the poetry of place and the place of poetry in different lives.

pictorial tour of the Dannemora Prison Escape.

“I wanted to capture people who lived outside the manhole and the prison and the chaos of the news,” Battinelli said in a previous interview. “I was gathering a sense of what these inmates were going through and what the law enforcement was going through.”

For the second segment, the festival will show “Mothers of Bedford” by Jenifer McShane that follows five women who were incarcerated for different reasons and looks at their dual struggles of being engaged in their children’s lives and becoming their better selves, along with “Thanksgiving in Prison”

by Woolf that gives a look inside one of the country’s oldest prisons during the holiday.

The second block will feature a variety of student films by SUNY Plattsburgh and Middlebury students exploring the place of nature, adventure and play in the lives of students.

The block will also focus on Essex County with a pair of films: “Small Farm Rising” by Ben Stechschulte and “Small Ventures, Fresh Ideas” by Mountain Lake PBS. While “Small Ventures, Fresh Ideas” reveal how Essex farms are growing farmers, “Small Farm Rising” explores the sustainable practices, creative business models and deep connections to the communities of the three first generation small farms in the Adirondack Mountains.

Following these films, there will be a Panel Discussion from 3:30 to 4 p.m. with Woolf, Stechschulte, Curt Gervich and farmers in the films.

“We curated these two blocks of film: prison and agriculture,” said Simon Conroy, member of the committee, “in which we reached out and personally invited some filmmakers.”

PRISON BLOCK The film festival will feature two blocks dedicated to prisons on Sunday, Nov. 15 — the first from 12:40 to 3 p.m. and the second from 3:10 to 5:20 p.m.

Dan Zukovic’s “SCAMMERHEAD” will showcase the epic tale of a hustler and his empire of scam, while Torrance’s film “Recluse (A/B)” will show a young man who makes Howard Hughes seem well balanced.

“It’s hard to describe, but basically his visual fantasies take over his entire life,” Torrance said. “It will sear your eyeballs to the roof of your brain...you gotta see it.”

CLOSING CEREMONY The film festival will end Sunday, Nov. 15 from 7:30 to 10 p.m. with a ceremony and awards, “Empire of Dirt” by Peter Stebbings about Lena who struggles to bridge the generation gap with her daughter Peeka and her mother, Minerva, and a filmmaker question and answer session with producer and actress Jennifer Podemeski of “Empire of Dirt.”

through a decayed urban neighborhood, recalls tract propaganda from racist organizations — slip past the eye’s of not one, but all of the top editors?

It’s already garnered national attention from organizations like Huffington Post and the Daily Beast.

“The head editors didn’t look closely enough, or at all, at the pages because of a procedural breakdown – deadlines missed by staffers that compressed time on the backend, advising appointments, car troubles, etc.,” wrote Murphy Facebook page. “So it slipped through and was published.”

The paper goes through an editorial review process once the paper is printed, but that doesn’t help when something so controversial has already been printed.

Jonny Zajac, the creator of the cartoon, is no stranger to controversial material.

A now-shuttered Instagram account under his name, for instance, included content with racial slurs, according to the Daily Beast.

Friends of the illustrator refused to comment.

THE REACTION The publication is getting heat from all over the campus community.

AKEBA, Plattsburgh’s Black Student Union met on Monday Oct. 26, three days after the cartoon was published. Students gathered around and shared their opinions on the matter.

Some students stated at the meeting that racial issues have always been a problem in the community.

“This has been an ongoing issue,” said Lateef Wearrien, president of AKEBA, in an interview with Huffington Post.

“This was somewhat of the last straw for people.”

AKEBA declined requests for an interview with the Sun. BEGINNING OF THE END? Cardinal Points is an independently student-run publication that runs olely on advertising.

A large chunk of that advertising money comes from Plattsburgh’s Student Association, which essentially serves as the campus’ student government.

The student association allows students to get involved in over 70 clubs and organizations.

That funding may be in peril, according to Murphy.

“The SA president called a meeting for this Thursday at 8 p.m. to have a discussion about the future of CP on this campus – and the entire camDVD pus has been invited,” said Murphy.

PRESIDENTIAL PLAN SUNY Plattsburgh President John Ettling released a second statement Oct. 29 announcing steps the campus will be taking to lead the campus forward in this fight against diversity problems.

Among the specific steps listed by Ettling: • I am naming Dr. J.W. Wiley as chief diversity officer for the campus. He will report directly to me. The appointment is effective immediately.

• We will develop a long-term plan to increase support for ethnic and cultural diversity on campus. Formulation of the plan, which will include campus-wide involvement, will be overseen by the chief diversity officer. A comprehensive Diversity Task Force, made up of faculty, staff, students, and community representatives, was recently reconstituted and will play an important role in formulating this plan.

• I am resurrecting the Multicultural Alliance. Historically a catalyst for student-group programming, its mission will expand to include more student leaders, serve as a place for physical and emotional support for multicultural students, and work with the chief diversity officer.

• In conjunction with the alliance, we will schedule a Diversity Week early next semester. This new annual event will include the participation of faculty, staff, students, and the wider community. Highlights of the week will include programming, forums, workshops, training, and speakers focused on matters of ethnic, cultural, and other differences.

• We will engage more deeply with the greater Plattsburgh and Clinton County communities. This is our home. We have a responsibility as a college to be a steward of place. Our leadership in matters of diversity, social justice, understanding, and respect is required. We will do this more proactively and directly.

“I am — and we must collectively be — determined to grow stronger from this. And these steps are only the beginning,” concluded Ettling.

Ettling and the administration suggest the editors responsible for letting this happen step down in the statement.

The president said he hopes that Cardinal Points will set a clear path for their future and that they play a key role in the healing process.

“An illustration in a student paper will not define us, but our response to it will. As we craft that definition, rest assured we will not leave it to others to write the script,” said Ettling.

Sun Community News columnist Gordie Little, author of the book “Ghosts of Clinton County,” spoke to Stafford Middle School students Friday, Oct. 30. Little told ghost stories and passed around photos of orbs that act as evidence for ghosts.

T

he recent series of debates has left a very interested public overly disappointed with the process.

Republican as well as the Democrat debates were not carried out in a manner that allows the candidates to explain to the public their vision for America.

The events have become a spectacle that only serves to put money into the pockets of the television networks.

As an employer one would never consider putting all their top candidates in a room, under hot lights making them stand for several hours and let non-interested parties ask them irrelevant questions and encourage them to degrade and squabble with each other. After which you would then try to select one of the candidates for your most valued position.

Consider this, the American voters wants an opportunity to select the right person and feel confident that the person they get behind has the skills, temperament, and judgment to be our Commander in Chief.

I would propose a series of one hour evening discussions, with no more than four candidates seated in comfortable chairs having a professional conversation about the issues and the tasks that lie ahead. These session would be moderated by Vice President Joseph Biden for the Democrats and former nominee Governor Mitt Romney for the Republicans.

These sessions would be aired on television and made available over the internet. Candidates would be encouraged to engage in thoughtful discussion on the visions each has for the country, their qualifications for the job and provide insight as to how they will work with the opposition party.

No gotcha questions, no imaginary “what ifs”. The goal should not be to grill someone nor see them put on the spot but instead to allow a candidates’ true personality to come to the forefront.

The goal would be to allow the American public greater insight into the differences in the plans and proposals these men and women are putting forth, so that we have a better understanding of the issues and the challenges we all face in the future.

America is at a very important crossroads at this time. We all need to invest time in this process and we really need to select the right person to lead the nation in the right direction.

We need a better way than what we’ve currently been given. We need to replace sound bites with intelligent conversation and leave the staged events behind.

Congrats, you’re dissolving. Now step on the gas

A

storm front moved into Port Henry last week.

Wind lashed the streets; the power flickered and the rain began to fall in a steady drizzle.

Inside a local gas station, the lights went out, leaving customers and staff in the dark.

“That’s what we get for dissolving the village,” quipped the clerk.

The room laughed.

Nervously.

Dramatic, isn’t it?

We hope the run-up to Dissolution Day will be decidedly less so.

Last week’s close vote — the measure passed 190171 — indicated that the community still faces an emotional path forward as they plot the next phase of their existence, which will likely consist of being folded into the town of Moriah.

On an emotional level, it can’t be easy: Most of us are intertwined with where we’re from, a sense of place coiled into our DNA. It can’t be easy to watch as that sense of identity is actively eroded at the ballot booth.

The march towards dissolution, which for Port Henry, was a long time coming, is also spiked with a number of bureaucratic speed bumps.

Following the vote, the village board must meet within 30 days to appoint a planning committee tasked with drafting a roadmap.

According to state law, this group, containing both village and town officials and residents, will have six months to hash out a dissolution plan. Once the village board approves the document, a hearing must be held between 35 and 90 days. Following public input, committee members then have an additional 60 days to produce a final draft.

Once that plan has been approved, dissolution will take effect within 45 days — barring a referendum, of course.

If voters torpedo the plan, dissolution will not occur… as scheduled.

No one seems to know what would come after that.

But it can’t be good.

Municipal officials admit that they’re entering uncharted territory: The procedure is complex, and so is the process of transferring the village’s services to other entities, including fire protection, water and sewer services and others, both those of a personal and physical nature.

We admit that it must be daunting for an elected official.

And there’s a lot at stake.

It’s because of these reasons that we encourage officials to move forward expeditiously and hit each of these benchmarks as quickly as possible, perhaps even ahead of schedule.

Doing so will reduce the possibility of a long, dragged-out fight.

Port Henry and Moriah are in good company.

While only 50 villages have dissolved in New York since 1900, a handful of them have been in Essex County: Bloomingdale, Elizabethtown, Ticonderoga and Westport have undergone identical processes within the past few decades, while Keeseville dissolved just last year, its assets split between Ausable and Chesterfield.

The situation facing Port Henry should be exponentially simpler than Keeseville for a few reasons: Unlike their neighbor to the north, which spanned two towns in two counties, Port Henry is located in just one for both.

The village doesn’t have the infrastructure issues that Keeseville had with its water plant, nor does there appear to be the same level of acrimony between some of the town and village officials.

As such, we don’t see any reason why this can’t be wrapped up within a year.

Dissolving was a smart move.

Initial estimates indicate Port Henry taxpayers are positioned to rack up sizable savings in their tax bills, an importance that can’t be overestimated in this working class community with a struggling economy.

In this era of austerity, it makes no sense to have duplicative layers of government.

And while we continue to have serious reservations about the two percent tax cap, eliminating a village is one way to lower costs and property taxes.

Port Henry will get through this. And if life in the now-hamlet of Keeseville is any indication, they’ll come out stronger in the process.

More explanation please!

It’s about damn time we’ve done something for our vets

To the Editor: Re: “Frontier talks Internet at Indian Lake meeting,” reading the article, it appears that the representatives from Frontier were very knowledgeable, professional and realistic in their explanations.

By contrast, the sentence, “Both attending community members and members of the town board stated that the lack of true high bandwidth is a major limiting factor in economic development,” needs further explanation.

In fact, much further explanation. I would like to ask these people specifically why high bandwidth is such a major limiting factor in economic development for Indian Lake (and much of the Adirondacks), and not merely pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking.

In the last sentence, the Frontier representatives “reminded those in attendance to look back at where service was up until recently and how far it has come.”

Indeed, high bandwidth internet access in the Adirondacks has come a long way� I can vouch for that� With 15 years of internet experience in the Adirondacks, I feel somewhat qualified to comment on the improved service.

In earlier years I struggled – and I mean really struggled at times - looking for reliable WiFi hotspots in the �dacks while I was there trout fishing. I have had a few problems with Frontier, but almost all of them were storm-caused. But, now with better network technologies and 4G, reliable high speed internet is almost ubiquitous throughout the Country and very shortly probably will be throughout most of the North Country. I am a heavy user of the internet for business when I am in the Adirondacks. I now am able to spend my time fishing instead of searching for reliable internet connectivity.

To reiterate: Indeed, high bandwidth internet access in the Adirondacks has come a long way� It has come a very long, long way� What has not come a long way is creative planning for the future of the Adirondacks.

Let’s suppose that ultra high speed internet to everybody’s liking somehow magically appeared overnight throughout the Adirondacks. What would change? Almost nothing� Most residents would still continue downloading games, videos, movies, and other high bandwidth-consuming mostly entertainment products. Businesses and communities would continue doing more or less exactly what they had been doing all along; Only a few would notice major improvements because of the better internet connectivity. A chronically depressed economic area would now be transformed into a chronically depressed area with high bandwidth internet.

Economic prosperity comes from implementation of ideas born of creative brainpower, not from internet connectivity. So, please, will anyone from Indian Lake explain to me how ultra-high-speed internet access is going to transform a chronically depressed area into a world-beating–or at least region-beating --economic powerhouse?

Let’s see some of this creative brainpower� You may ask: Why is a guy from California interested in Indian Lake internet access? It’s because I go trout fishing in the area several times every year–one of my favorite places being the Indian River below Abanakee Dam. I also administer more than a dozen websites–some of them North Country-themed-that I need to continually maintain on an almost daily basis whether at home or on the road trout fishing. Most of my websites feature streaming of large video files; I do a lot of my video editing while in the �dacks; both of which require a lot of bandwidth and connection speed.

I am vitally interested in what goes on with internet access in Indian Lake� David Safrany Lake View Terrace, CA

To the Editor: Vote on Nov. 3� Veterans Court in Essex County is the only such court north of Albany that gives a veteran a chance to receive the opportunity to stay out of jail and regain some pride and become a productive member of society.

It costs taxpayers $30,000 a year to house one person in County jail; $63,000 per year in a state prison.

Veterans Courts are not mandated by the state and are at the discretion of the county judge. To date, Veterans Court in Essex County has had 6 veterans go or going through the program. These veterans have gone to PTSD or alcohol treatment programs and it has changed not only their lives, but the lives and future of their families and friends.

Veterans Court has been around since 2008 in Buffalo and there are now over 200 in the country. Google it and see how successful this has been� Some lawyers and judges call Veterans Court a boutique court� As a combat vet from Vietnam, I call it about damn time we have done something for our veterans that works and helps the veteran make that sometimes long hard transition back into a civilian world that is often not understanding of what combat can do to a young mind.

Please vote and make the right choice to continue helping our veterans.

Caitlin Wade Bridge tourney gives thanks To the Editor: On June 6, the second Caitlin Wade Bridge Memorial Golf Tournament was held at the Willsboro Golf Course.

At age 25, Caitlin was diagnosed with colon cancer and fought a very courageous battle for the next 22 months. She lost this battle on October 1, 2012, at the age of 27. The purpose of these tournaments was to not only raise awareness of the importance of early screening and detection of colon cancer, but also to “give back” to some folks that we will be forever grateful to.

All of the proceeds from this tournament, with the exception of a small donation to the Colon Cancer Alliance, were donated directly to the Infusion Clinic at The University of Vermont Health Network Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

Caitlin received most of her treatment and care at our local Infusion Clinic – this included an overwhelming amount of love and support from her caregivers at the clinic, not only for Caitlin, but for her families as well – for this we will be eternally grateful� We hope the donation we were able to make to this clinic will be a small token of how much you mean to all of us� This tournaments would not have been successful if it had not been for many, many people becoming involved and supporting our cause. First and foremost, we would like to recognize and thank Eric Arnold– our Willsboro tournament organizer extraordinaire� We would also like to recognize three UVHN ECH employees, who acknowledged and supported our efforts - Meredith King, Razmig Babikian, and Heather Reynolds. The fact that these three employees attended the tournament meant more to us than they can imagine�� Kudos also goes to the folks at the Willsboro Golf Course – they could not have been more accommodating, and the course was beautiful� We would also like to sincerely thank the golfers, the hole sponsors, the invaluable team of volunteers, the donors, the raffle ticket and tee-shirt purchasers, and those who spent the day with us to give moral support – we appreciate each and every one of you�� When all was said and done, we were able to donate $10,000 to the Infusion Clinic at the UVHN Elizabethtown Community Hospital, to be used at the discretion of the staff working in the Clinic.

Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts� Justin Bridge Bob and Sheila Bridge Chris and Mary Wade Elizabethtown

Government letdown again

To the Editor: Yet again our leadership in Washington has let us down for the sake of political expediency.

A majority of Congress, Republicans and Democrats, have passed a twoyear budget deal so as to avoid the pretense of shutting down the government.

Obama will sign it.

They claim raising the debt ceiling is required to pay for expense already incurred. They sagely declare they’re just paying the bills. They don’t explain why the expense was incurred if there was no budgeted money to pay for it.

Both parties want to increase spending, but for different things. They promise to cut spending, but not just yet.

The increased spending will require more borrowing since borrowing is less politically damaging than raising taxes or changing tax codes.

Our national debt is now 18.5 trillion dollars. The debt increases by over a million dollars every 2 minutes, 24/7.

This level of debt is disproportionate to our economy.

18.5 trillion dollars is an extraordinary number and is the equivalent of spending 51 million dollars every single day for a thousand years.

This will continue until people stop lending us money.

You need to think about what happens then, and prepare for it. Perhaps you’ve noticed that no politician ever explains how and why our debt is OK. You might infer from this that it’s not OK which is what the Congressional Budget Office has been telling us for years. Meanwhile our government, Republican, Democrat and socialist alike, marches us lemmings dutifully to the sea.

Meat causes cancer

To the Editor: Thank you to the World Health Organization for having the courage to speak truth to power: meat, like cigarettes and asbestos, does cause cancer� No U.S. health agency would ever say this for fear of losing Congressional funding.

The World Cancer Research Fund and a number of other international health agencies have been advising for years that meat consumption raises the risk of colon and other forms of cancer, but the WHO panel was actually able to determine a causal effect.

The 630-page report was drafted by a panel of 22 experts from 10 countries who reviewed 800 studies of the link between meat and cancer. These included animal experiments, studies of human diet and health, and research into cellular processes that cause cancer.

The panel’s conclusions evoked strong responses, with obvious resistance from the meat industry and calls for warning labels, akin to those mandated for cigarettes, from environmental groups.

Cancer of the colon is expected to kill nearly 50,000 Americans this year, mostly through a self-inflicted diet. Fortunately, annual per capita U.S. meat consumption has dropped by 15 percent from a high of 121 pounds in 2002, as consumers switch to healthier, more convenient, and tastier plant-based alternatives.

Welcome autumn!

To the Editor: As October arrives each year, its crisp nights never fail to create a scenic wonder of red and gold foliage throughout the village of Keene Valley and surrounding Adirondack Mountains, leaving residents and visitors alike to ponder if the colors just might be more spectacular than the year before.

This year, however, the brilliant colors of this annual Autumn phenomenon were overshadowed for both past and present KV residents by the loss of a wonderful business man, a much beloved and respected �Coach’, and most recently, a very special nurse. These unique individuals were so much more than their titles could possibly define and this is what made each an integral part of this village, making it a warm, wonderful place to have grown up.

Though the autumn colors will soon begin to fade, the warm memories of this business man, this �Coach’ and this nurse will remain with all us whose lives they touched and made a most positive difference.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Saying Goodbye Gordie Little

Columnist

I

f I finished a conversation with you by saying, “Toodles,” would you have any clue what I was talking about? I just mentioned it to Kaye and she responded with, “Boy, that’s a blast from the past.” Yes, it is. Somebody else brought it up a while back when I was reflecting on some old fashioned phrases we remember from our youth. I received numerous e-mails after that column.

Music is a huge part of my life; so, a song title came to mind, as often happens: “50 Ways to Say Goodbye” by Train in their album “California 37” from 2012. And another: “Love Means Never Having to Say Goodbye” from 2004. That got my juices flowing and the race was on for us to see how many words and phrases we could conjure up that fit this category.

You can begin at your kitchen table, if you like. I’ll throw out a few to get you underway. I started one on the radio after our son and his wife were killed in 1988 followed by a young grandson two days later: “Have a great day and please drive carefully.” I closed every newscast with that admonition until the day I left that business in April of 1997.

When I meet friends in the grocery store, they often repeat, “Please drive carefully.”

“See ya,” “I’ll be talkin’ to ya,” “Take care,” “Bye,” “Catch ya later,” “Ciao,” Adios,” “Sayonara,” “Ta,” “Be well,” “May your teeth never be replaced by woolen socks.” Okay, I made the last one up. How many can you come up with? Ready, set, go.

One that I’ve used at least a thousand times: “See ya later, alligator.” And the response: “After a while, crocodile.” Or another that I would not use while leaving church: “Don’t let the door hit ya where the Lord split ya.”

I dare you to try “toodles’ or “Toodleoo.” Let me know how many strange looks you get. If that doesn’t work, how about “Stay afloat, mountain goat.”

Some more old phrases I haven’t heard in a long time, mentioned by my friend Norm Stotland from Quebec: “More than Carter has liver pills,” “oil cloth,” “valise” and many more. Cartoon aficionado Stan Burdick in Ticonderoga had a phrase his mother used to apply to him when he was young: “Pick up your paraphernalia, son; company’s coming.” One of my favorites came from Stan referring to “an old guy I worked for in the old days when asked how he felt”: “Oh, I’m pretty tolerable.”

Well, I’m also pretty tolerable today myself and I hope it remains that way into the distant future. In the words of a great 1940 Woody Guthrie song, “So long, it’s been good to know yuh, and I got to be driftin’ along.”

Port Henry Holiday Bazaar

“Five years from today, you will be the same person that you are today, except for the books you read and the people you meet.” I would cite the quote, but allegedly several people wrote it.

Instead, I will tell you about Port Henry’s Sherman Free Library, which was built in 1887. One hundred and twenty-eight years later, the slate-covered building is still a tremendous resource to the community. The Holiday Bazaar is one way the neighborhood supports their treasure.

The event claims to have one of the best White Elephant Tables, excellent baked goods, a savory luncheon and dozens of talented artisans.

Freshly-cut greens will fragrance the hall. To infuse your home with the same aroma, sniff out the Decker’s Flats table, where they will be taking wreaths/ kissing balls preorders.

You are bound to meet someone interesting and fund some inspiring additions to the library.

The magic happens between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on November 14, at the Knights of Columbus building.

Music is food for the soul Zip City Blues will fill the Essex Community Church with the musical equivalent of soul food. They serve up the area’s finest bluegrass, folk, country and blues. On Nov. 7, at 7-9:30 p.m., your donation will buy an evening with the band. In turn, those cats give all donations to local food shelves. Knowing they give their proceeds to feed neighbors, totally rocks�

THE AUTHOR HIMSELF

VAST BOOK COLLECTION

Bebo has written a variety of stories over 30 years, most of them full-length fiction novels, based on the things he likes doing and researching about, from action novels with martial arts to techno-thrillers with computer and music themes.

So far, he’s written over a dozen novels. Three, so far, have been published: “Lamp of the Gods,” “Of Lake, Land and Liberty: The Battle of Plattsburgh in the War of 1812” and “Family Legends — The Charbonneau Letter.”

“The thing I ask of my readers is to not expect the same thing every time,” Bebo said. “I want to give you something different every time.”

Bebo plans on returning to Plattsburgh in spring 2016 for a book talk on “Bach Again” and reveal his other books he’ll be working on throughout winter.

“Bach Again” will be available on Kindle Scout, a new publishing company on Kindle where new and unpublished books can be nominated for publishing by Amazon to jump start an eBook, from Oct. 21 to Nov. 20.

To review and nominate the book, visit https://goo.gl/ pw4pVg.

THE LARGEST SOURCE OF COMMUNITY EVENTS IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.

Bebo was born in Plattsburgh and went to school in Boston where he studied music composition at Berklee College of Music (bachelor’s degree) and Computer Science at Boston University (master’s degree).

Since his college days, he’s lived in the Boston area, first playing the drums, where he worked with everything from rock bands to society groups.

Along with music, Bebo had his own martial arts school where he taught Chinese Kenpo and Ju-Jitsu.

Because of one of his martial arts students, he learned computer programming as a hobby, so he could get better at playing games and do something during the day while he played music at night. Now, he programs computers for a living, along with writing.

“I don’t write for a purpose,” he explained. “I write because something bubbles up inside of me and it keeps coming up and all of a sudden I have a book.

“If not writing, I feel like I’m going through a withdrawal.”

I parroted one of my nephew’s favorite sayings back to him, “You be you, and I’ll be me” adding, “I will donate to your swim, and wrap you in a fuzzy towel when you hit the shore. You can take my word for that buddy�” Just in: Ahren W. of Elizabethtown has also entered the SO Plunge� Let me spin a tale for you. These musings reach 50,000 mailboxes. Our readers live just shy of the Canadian border stretching south to Warrensburg. Certainly you must have something to tell them. I’m available 24 hours a day at Linda@suncommunitynews.com.

My Cup of Tea to start What’s For Dinner? by end of November New program aims to offer healthier meal options for residents teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — My Cup of Tea has announced a new meal service designed to offer a healthier meal option for residents and workers in Plattsburgh.

What’s For Dinner? was announced last week by My Cup of Tea owner Sue LeBlanc-Durocher and chef Peter Gallagher.

It started with an idea from LeBlanc-Durocher when she lived in Massachusetts as a single mom of two sons. She had a crazy schedule and didn’t desire to make dinner some nights but wanted her children to eat a healthy meal.

“You go to restaurants and a lot of the restaurants have such volume of food that a lot of it is pre-packaged product,” LeBlanc-Durocher said. “Not a criticism for restaurants, but we want to offer more organic and wholesome food.”

LeBlanc-Durocher and Gallagher plan on having their menus ready and out to the public at least a week ahead of time through email, for those who would want weekly updates, and Facebook.

On the menu, they plan on offering two different meals each day, along with homemade soups, salads and desserts — offering healthier substitutes such as mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes.

“The food is going to be made with high quality ingredients,” Gallagher said. “People are going to know exactly what’s in the food.”

People interested in this meal option can either pick up the meals at My Cup of Tea or have them delivered if they’re within the City of Plattsburgh by reserving in the morning or by noon at the latest to make sure it’s guaranteed.

Extra servings of portions for adults and children will be available after this time. However, they will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis.

People will also have the opportunity to make specific meal requests, such as vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and more. Special requests would need to be called in a few days ahead of time.

Currently, My Cup of Tea is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, but LeBlanc-Durocher and Gallagher might expand the hours, especially in the evening.

The current hours are still in the planning stages, as well as what’s going to be on the menu, cost of the food and when it’s going to officially start. They’re hoping to have it open by the end of November.

“There’s a need for this,” LeBlanc-Durocher said. “Just being able to have a healthier meal option and not worrying about the kids eating something that’s fatty with all types of preservatives is great.”

For more information and updates, visit their Facebook page “My Cup of Tea.”

PICTURED RIGHT: Sue LeBlanc-Durocher owns My Cup of Tea and her own catering business. Soon, she’ll be offering What’s For Dinner? serving healthy soups, salads and meals with the help of Peter Gallagher. Also, LeBlanc-Durocher will be making healthy alternative sweet treats for people with a sweet tooth.

Lake Placid defends Class C title with win over AVCS

By Jill Lobdell

jill@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — As the remnants of Hurricane Patricia stormed in, so did the Lake Placid Blue Bombers in their Class C final matchup against AuSable Valley, reclaiming the title with a 5-1 win.

The first goal game at 19:05 in the first half as Bjorn Kroes assisted on a Eric Montana goal.

Then the flood gates opened as the rain poured in as Jared Smith, Ryan Kane and Jaso Hannula made assists on a trio of goals from

Chris Williams.

“We played really well all game long,” Williams said. “We practiced everything that we wanted to do in the game. It came out perfectly for us.”

He said they got the momentum after the first goal.

“Everyone loves the first goal in soccer to get the momentum going,” head coach Stuart Hemsley said. “Eric got the first one off the post and we were just smooth sailing from there.”

“We did a great job in possessing the ball, controlling the ball, and controlling the

game,” Stuart Baird said. “We set the mood on our second goal. We were prepared to win the game. We need to carry this momentum and this positive vibe into our next game.”

“Overall we would say our play was a B+ on a school card,” Hemsley said. “We did some good finishing but didn’t play well on this turf. It’s like playing on carpet. The ball never stops rolling. The passing has to be super accurate. We don’t play on this all the time and it’s going to take us a little while to get used to it. We are going to get on some more turf to practice.”

The Patriots finally got on the scoreboard

as Caleb Hamilton scored unassisted at 17:22 on keeper Noah Mohr.

When coach Hemsley was asked how the weather played a part he said, “I’m pleased on how we were scoring the ball after the first four minutes and slashing the ball. It’s a worry when you got the wind and the rain in your face. You never know when scoring is going to happen. There is always a shock in this sport. You put your best 11 on the field and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. We didn’t start well and the first goal settle us and the second one made us a little more comfortable.”

Hemsley felt the players were “comfortable” on the big stage.

“I am pleased that I was able to get the seniors on the field who have been on the team for three or four years,” he said. This is the first time they got into a game. I just have a great group of players right now.”

AuSable Valley ended up with eight shots on goal while Lake Placid had 19. Ryan Thomas of AuSable Valley made 14 saves while Noah Mohr made 7.

Hornets win Class B title

Lake Placid celebrates after winning the Section VII/Class C title.

CHAZY — The Plattsburgh High boys varsity soccer team scored three of its goals in the first half en route to a 5-0 victory over the Peru Indians, earning the Section VII/Class B championship Oct. 30.

Hannes Kurmann opened the scoring with goals in the 15th and 25th minutes of play, while Luke-Jay Phillips scored in the 33rd minute.

Trevor Wills then scored in the 47th and 57th minutes to cap the championship for the Hornets.

J.D. Side made five saves to help lead the Hornets to a clean sheet performance, while Ben Estes made 10 saves for the Indians.

PLATTSBURGH — As Bobcat keeper Paige Chilton watched the final shot of the game slide over the post, her rain-soaked team ran to her and hugged, realizing their goal was accomplished with a Section VII/Class C championship victory over the AuSable Valley Patriots Oct. 28.

“I was a little nervous but we all had to pull through,” Chilton said. We have to work hard obviously. We are pumped” The teams were evenly matched both offensively and defensively.

“Honestly, I don’t think there was a difference in the game,” NAC coach (and AVCS alum) Cammey Keyser said. “Both teams played really well and that’s why we went into PK’s. No one could find the back of the net in the time allotted.”

The score at the end of regulation was 0-0. The teams setup for the overtime. Both teams had their chances but the weather was the biggest obstacle to overcome.

As time ran out the teams were selected for the shootout.

“We practiced PK’s over and over at practice,” Keyser said.

Ti wins another classic D final v. Moriah

Graney scores in first OT for 6-0 win over previously undefeated Vikings

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

CLINTONVILLE — An undefeated season may have come down to the first drive of the game for the Moriah Vikings Oct. 30.

“I never thought a 3-0 lead would hold up against this team after the first drive of the game,” head coach Don Tesar said after the game.

He was wrong.

After a scoreless regulation, the Ticonderoga Sentinels (8-1) scored the lone touchdown of the game in the first possession of overtime, stopping the Vikings on the ensuing drive for a 6-0 victory, claiming the Section VII/Class D title from the previously unbeaten Vikings (8-1).

Receiving the opening kick-off. The Vikings quickly marched down the field to the Sentinel 15 yard line, where they were faced with a fourth-and-six.

Instead of turning to kicker Ray Bryant, Tesar decided to go for a first down, with an Adam Jaquish pass to Jarrod MacDougal falling incomplete.

esty, I said I should have kicked the ball on that first drive,” Tesar said. “In the first half we moved the ball well, we just could not get into the endzone.”

The opening drive was as close as either team would get to pay-dirt through the 48 minutes of regulation, with the Sentinels best drive taking them to the Vikings’ 23 before a turnover on downs after an option pass by Brody Rocque was too far in front of Evan Graney.

The only other chance either team had for scoring came at the end of regulation, when Vikings punter Taylor Slattery downed a punt at the one yard line with 17 seconds remaining. Graney was able to gain one yard on the first play from scrimmage, but was knocked backwards on the final play of regulation, keeping himself just in front of the goalline to avoid a two-point safety which would have given the Vikings the win.

Before the start of overtime, Sentinel coach Scott Nephew Members of the Ticonderoga Sentinels football team celebrate after their 6-0 victory over Moriah Oct. 30.

Patriots, Eagles win football titles in Class C, B

CVAC cross country meet gives a preview into sectional finals

CLINTONVILLE — The AuSable Valley Patriots and Beekmantown Eagles both defeated the defending Section VII champions in Class C and B, respectively, in Oct. 31 championship games.

In the opener, Dalton McDonald, making his second career start, helped carry the Patriots past the Saranac Lake Red Storm thank to a four-yard touchdown pass to Kobe Parrow for a 20-14 victory.

McDonald finished 13-of-25 passing for 173 yards and two touchdown passes, the first also going to Parrow from 11 yards out in the third quarter, helping to tie the game at 1414 after a Mark Whitney two-point conversion run.

Whitney scored the opening touchdown of the game for the Patriots from one yard out, while rushing for 51 yards in the game.

Drew Sturgeon, playing at quarterback in place of the injured Tristan Fitzgerald, finished 12-of-23 for 135 yards and two scores, both going to Joe Viscardo, who finished with five receptions for 62 yards. Sturgeon also was the team’s leading rusher with 40 yards.

The final game of championship weekend broke from the tradition of late-game heroics seen in the Class D and C tilts, as the Beekmantown Eagles jumped out to a 27-0 lead on their way to avenging an opening weekend loss to the Peru Indians, 47-13.

Tyler Myers scored on a pair of 50 yard touchdown runs, finishing with 176 rushing yards in the game. Alex Archer added 21 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground while Nate Handy had 68 yards rushing and a score while recording a pick-six interception on defense.

For Peru, Jordan Guay went 17-of-31 passing for 240 yards, but was intercepted twice by the Eagles. Dakota Arquette finished with 78 rushing yards and two scores. Peru starting back Brandon Sawyer, returning from injury, was involved in the first play of the game and was unable to return after being tackled by a host of Eagles defenders for a one yard loss.

CADYVILLE — Jonathan Gay and Margaret Champagne set themselves up as the favorites heading into the Nov. 6 Section VII championship meet as each took the top honors at the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference championships Oct. 31.

Gay, the runner who has helped to create and build up the EKMW cross country program, crossed the line at the Cadyville Recreation Park in 15:41, breaking the previous course record, 25 seconds ahead of Seton Catholic’s Caleb Moore. Isaiah Maddix of Peru finished third in 16:19.

Meanwhile, three-time defending Section VII individual champion Champagne led the ladies to the line in 18:26, as the Lady Knight finished 41 seconds ahead of Saranac’s Rachael Woodruff.

While Champagne won the individual title, Woodruff and her teammates won the CVAC team championship, with Elise LePage finishing sixth (20:20), Elysha O’Connell eighth (20:22) and Caitlyn Cliche ninth (20:22).

The Lady Chiefs scored a one-point victory over the Knights, while Saranac Lake finished third, Plattsburgh High fourth and Peru fifth.

On the boys side, the Lake Placid Blue Bombers took home the top team honors, as Henry McGrew paced the team with a fifth place finish (16:25), Karl Schulz finished sixth (16:36) and Forest Ledger 13th (17:11).

The Section VII championships and state qualifier meet will take place Friday, Nov. 6, at the Cobble Hill Golf Course in Elizabethtown. The girls race will begin at 1:15 p.m., while the boys will start at 2:15 p.m.
