“Service is important to me. It is very important for me to serve the customer and get them going in their time of need,” Longtemps said. “I know for a customer, down time is not acceptable and costs money. I want to support our customers to get them running as soon as possible.”

LeBeau promoted to CVPH chief operating, nursing officer PLATTSBURGH — Mi-

chelle LeBeau, RN, MHRM

has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer/Chief Nursing Officer at the University of Vermont Health Network – Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital.

For the past 3 years, LeBeau has served as CVPH

Vice President of Human Resources.

She began her career at CVPH in 1991 as a critical care nurse. After serving as a Home Health Administrator for Home Medical of America/Chartwell Caregiv-

ers from 1995 to 2002, she returned to the Plattsburgh hospital as Employee Health Supervisor. In addition to her nursing degree, she holds a bachelor’s of science in business management and a master’s degree in Human Resource Management.

LeBeau replaces Debra Donahue, who, after 35 years at CVPH, retired at the end of October. “Following Debbie’s decision to retire, a leading national health care executive search firm was brought in to reexamine the role of COO/CNO, its opportunities and potential candidates. It was quickly determined the right leader — a progressive leader — was in our midst,” explained CVPH President and CEO Stephens Mundy.

“We have exceptional people doing extraordinary things every day. We come together to do our very best for our patients, each other and the community every day. I look forward to working and learning beside them as we achieve our next level of success,” said LeBeau.

Turkey Trot fun walk to take place on Thanksgiving 38th annual John P. Adams Memorial Turkey Trot will take place Thursday, Nov. 26 at Peru Central School

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PERU — Thanksgiving hasn’t exactly always been known for getting out and moving.

A group of local volunteers hope to change that.

The Peru Lions Club started Turkey Trot because some members were runners and thought a race would be an excellent way to raise money and build community spirit.

John Adams was a Peru Lion and one of the originators.

The Turkey Trot was renamed in remembrance and to honor him.

The first race had 10 to 20 runners and have grown in numbers each year, including a few years ago when they had their biggest number of participants: 700.

“I believe our success is because so many families have made it part of their Thanksgiving tradition,” Lois Roberts, a member of the club, said. “People come home for Thanksgiving and before all the family festivities, they gather to support the charitable organization of the Lions Club by coming out and running or walking.”

Roberts said the event has become a great way to begin the holiday.

“We are blessed to have the race at an unique time where people are traveling home and families are participating, which has turned into a Peru staple.”

The 1-mile fun run/walk will take participants through a loop out the school parking lot, around a housing culdesac and return from where they started.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Online registration will close 8:15 a.m. on race day. Dayof-race registration takes place from 7:30 to 8:15 a.m.

HELPING PEOPLE SEE The Peru Lions Club was chartered in 1945 with a main goal to aid the visually impaired and blind by providing eye exams and glasses for those in need of financial help.

The club recently purchased an eye screener that they use in area schools to give free eye screenings to children under 6 years old.

The club also contributes to service projects to assist others locally, such as JCEO, Camp Ta Kum Ta Peru, CVPH, scholarships for Peru students and more.

“We could not do what we do without all the support from local businesses and community members,” Roberts said.

“Not only do many people come out and support us by running, we also have many volunteers who, year after year, come out to help make this event as great as it has become.”

“We are very thankful for everyone’s support over the years and feel blessed to continue to give back to their community.”

For the 5k and 10k races, it costs $20 early registration and $25 late registration. For the 1-mile fun run/walk, it costs $7.50 early registration and $10 early registration.

Bibs and numbers can be picked up between 4 to 7 p.m. in the Peru Elementary School cafeteria on Wednesday, Nov. 25 or between 7:30 to 8:15 a.m. in the Peru Elementary School cafeteria on Thursday, Nov. 26.

The 1-mile fun run/walk will begin at 8:45 followed by other events starting at 9 a.m., including a 5k and 10k race.

The 1-mile fun run/walk will take participants through a loop out the school parking lot, around a housing culdesac and return from where they started.

The 5k and 10k runners will line up facing Pleasant Street, where they will take off through apple orchards and farm land.

The winners will be announced immediately following the races, receiving ribbons for the top three runners in the age categories and trophies and a frozen turkey for the top overall male and female runner in both the 5k and 10k.

Along with the races, there will also be a 50/50, raffles, snacks and beverages provided by local businesses and free hugs and high fives by the Peru Lions Club Lion. For more information or to register, visit www.adirondackcoastevents.com.

Conservation Conversations Rich Redman

rich@suncommunitynews.com

Doing their part

I

t’s been four years since I retired, but my old conservation job still haunts me at times. Being haunted by the past can be a mixed bag; good and bad. This time however, it was a pleasurable haunting.

At a recent Farm Bureau annual dinner, Shaun and Linda Gillilland of Willsboro were honored for their water quality conservation work on the farm. They received the NYS Agricultural Environmental Management Award from the local Soil and Water office for the establishment of numerous conservation practices on the farm.

For me, it was a proud moment because I wrote the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) grazing contract to help get federal funds to install many of the conservation practices. State funding also provided some assistance for grazing practices.

Grazing management keeps the soil covered in actively growing sod and allows high quality feed to be consumed by cattle, plus it reduces runoff, collects nutrients and eliminates most soil erosion.

The contract included perimeter fencing to keep the beef herd out of the drainage leading to the Boquet River, an alternative water source to provide drinking water and the planting of a large riparian buffer with fruit and berry bushes to provide an additional income, plus creating insect habitat.

Remember, bugs feed fish. Grassy swales along brooks provide grass hopper and cricket habitat, while rotting fruit brings in all kinds of bug life. Terrestrials to fly fishermen!

Winds and rain runoff carry some of the unlucky bugs to the brooks and stream where fish lay waiting to feed on the high protein meals. Non mowed grassland buffers along streams

also provide habitat for grassland birds. Young early successional woods also provide habitat for bird life such as grouse and woodcock.

Working with farmers is not just about stopping manure runoff and erosion. It’s much more. Conservation ecology is putting all the parts of the puzzle together. Economics of the farm come first, then environmental practices which reduce runoff and erosion, but also enhance the value of the land and the surroundings.

Protecting the streams and keeping them free of sediment, excessive nutrients and pesticides is important to all of us; farmers and fishermen. The economics of rural America is tied to farming, forestry, fishing and hunting. They are all related. Clean streams provide habitat for trout and salmon, which provides tourist habitat and brings notoriety to an area.

Many of us travel hundreds of miles to fish or hunt in another state. Whether it’s pheasants in South Dakota, elk in Colorado, trout in Montana or salmon bringing in droves of fly fishermen to New York, it’s clean water and healthy farm, forest and rangeland habitat that make it happen.

Removing dams such as the Willsboro dam provide access to spawning habitat. The Gillilland Farm sits upstream of the Willsboro dam site. In time, salmon will be swimming up the north branch past the farm to spawn. Yea, it all comes together if we want it too.

(Now we just need to get the IMPERIAL DAM REMOVED, adding miles of more spawning habitat, to enhance the Salmon fishery on the Saranac River,). Enough GOV Speak. Just do it!

The farm community understands the importance of doing conservation work and getting practices installed on the land.

They are doing their part.

It’s the economic and conservation ecology that binds us all together. Just ask Shaun and Linda Gillilland. They understand how important their farm is to the community and what they do to protect the Boquet River means.

Both the Farm Bureau and the Lake Champlain Chapter of Trout unlimited congratulate them for a well deserved honor!

Stefanik: No endorsement yet for GOP presidential primary

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WILLSBORO — With 17 candidates in the mix, the field for the Republican presidential nomination remains the most crowded in generations.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) said she’s watched all four GOP debates so far, but is refraining from making an endorsement because she’s focused on doing her job as a member of Congress.

“I’m pleased to see that the field is diverse and that it’s large and you have a variety of opinions, and I think that discussion is good,” Stefanik told the Sun. A testament to that is the number of people tuning into the debates.

All four have drawn at least 10 million viewers, noted the rep.

“That’s really great this early on in the process.”

Stefanik said both the Republican and Democratic parties are going through a “challenging” primary process.

The most credible candidate, said Stefanik, will be someone who puts forward an agenda of “economic optimism” — “How are we going to get out of this anemic economic growth that we have been in for the past eight years?” said Stefanik. “How are we going to help our next generation of workers and have long-term economic opportunity?”

“I’m hopeful that our Republican nominee puts forth that optimistic agenda.”

New York will hold its Republican primary on April 19.

BUSY SCHEDULE Stefanik said it’s been a busy few weeks in Congress.

Passage of the six-year infrastructure bill is important for the district because it provides certainty, said the representative.

“It will be a job creator and the infrastructure is the backbone of our economy.”

Stefanik also voted in support of reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank, which is important piece of legislation for companies like Plattco Corporation and New York Air Brake in Watertown, she said.

“That was a politically divisive issue, but I was one of the Republicans that showed independent leadership and crossed party lines to reauthorize that program.”

Another big legislative item is the two-year budget agreement, a bipartisan agreement negotiated between both branches of Congress and the White House. Stefanik noted

it lifts military sequestration, one of her top priorities.

And on Monday, Stefanik co-hosted a hearing on the roles of Millennials in the workforce.

ON THE SPEAKER Stefanik said she has a positive relationship with most of her congressional colleagues, including newly-elected Speaker Paul D. Ryan.

The congresswoman headed Ryan’s debate preparations during the 2012 presidential election, when the Wisconsin representative was selected as Mitt Romney’s running mate.

“I think he’s uniquely qualified to bridge the divide between not only Republicans in Congress, but also across the aisle.”

Stefanik cited the recent passage of the transportation bill as evidence of Ryan’s legislative prowess.

The rep said the speaker — who like herself, has made headlines for his youth — understands both the military and sportsman issues in the district, both of which are important to local leaders.

“Paul has visited this district before. He campaigned for me, so I think, especially compared to first-year lawmakers, I have a unique relationship with him and he knows that I want to do the best I can for my district.”

“I’m in constant contact with Paul and his team.”

Giving thanks

n behalf of all of us here at the Sun Community News & Printing, let me wish you a happy, safe and thankful Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

In these rapidly changing times our culture seems to be undergoing a massive transformation. In times like these it’s easy to find so many things about which to complain. All one needs to do is look around, pick up a newspaper, turn on the radio or TV, or log onto the Internet and you’ll find tons of material from which you can find fault. Complaining, even ranting, seems to be our most popular pastime these days.

We can’t take lightly the challenging times we find ourselves at this point in time, but this weekend, as much as any weekend, we need to realize and reflect on all we have to be thankful for as we sit here in 2015 in this region, of this country still full of promise and opportunity, if you are willing to invest the time and effort.

Hopefully your Thanksgiving weekend will be highlighted by a wonderful meal in the company of friends and family. Some of you may have lost those dear to you since last Thanksgiving and while it may be painful without them, be thankful for the good times you enjoyed with them while they were here. Treasure those previous Thanksgiving meals when you were all together.

Complaining will always be a part of our lives regardless of what age we live in.

When put into the context of time, challenges and frustrations will be seen as hurdles to some and opportunities to others. While some may long for the past and others can’t wait for the future make sure to take full advantage of the present.

This Thanksgiving, count your blessings and cherish those you’ve been able to share it with. Regardless of your situation in life, hope and opportunity are out there.

You may have to open yourself up to find them, but a truly thankful heart can always see things more clearly. Let’s all hope the unrest, wars, pessimism and doubt concerning our future can be replaced with peace and optimism.

Life is way too short and regrets can build up over the years. Don’t wait until it’s too late to appreciate the many blessings in your life.

Let me also take this time to thank all of you who read this column and The Sun Community Publications. We are thankful for your support and the many calls, emails and letters of encouragement you’ve sent over the past year.

We intend to continue working hard to earn your support and expand our coverage of local news through all forms of media platforms.

What did we learn from this? “

Burn After Reading” is a black comedy film by the Coen Brothers that hits upon all of their usual themes: A hapless schnook gets in over their head in an ill-conceived scheme. A seemingly random sequence of events leads to a snowball effect. Everything spins out of control. Badly. And in the end, everyone gets theirs.

No one gets away clean.

Right before the credits roll, a pair of federal agents attempt to find meaning in the pointless series of events that have disrupted the natural order of things.

“What did we learn from this?” asked one.

“I don’t know, sir,” said the other.

“I guess we learned not to do it again.”

Nearly six months after a pair of killers broke out of Clinton Correctional, the credits aren’t yet rolling, but many of the loose ends are now wrapping up in quick succession.

Lovestruck seamstress Joyce Mitchell pleaded guilty to being the inmates’ hamburger helper and was sent to prison for up to seven years for giving them the tools that granted them their freedom.

Last week, surviving inmate David Sweat pleaded guilty to the escape.

He’ll remain in the hole for the next seven years, and when he gets out, he’ll likely be in administrative segregation for the rest of his life.

The state trooper who ended the manhunt by plugging Sweat twice in the torso, Jay Cook, was found to be justified in using force after a formal investigation.

Gene Palmer, the veteran guard who developed a buddy-buddy relationship with the inmates, exchanging tools for prison intelligence and paintings, has indicated he will fight his charges and will likely go to trial sometime next year.

Superintendent Steve Racette was forced into early retirement, while nearly a dozen other prison staffers continue to be suspended.

And Richard Matt, of course, is dead.

What did we learn from this?

Behind the scenes, the inspector general is moving closer to revealing the findings of an investigation, which was opened while the inmates were still on the lam.

Unlike Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has repeatedly chalked the escape up to a jailhouse romance gone too far, Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott has alluded to deeper systemic failures that allowed the duo to wriggle free and terrorize the North Country for three weeks.

Scott has indicated her report will propose reforms to help ensure state residents are never again subjected to such an event.

Kudos.

We’ll be eager to see how it all shakes out. Without long-term reform, however perfunctory, we envision this escapade as being as equally pointless as the events portrayed in the film.

We want to touch upon something Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie said last week after Sweat’s court appearance.

The visibly-exasperated prosecutor was frustrated that more couldn’t be done to punish Mitchell and Sweat.

Despite costs of the manhunt soaring over $23 million, Mitchell could

be out in as little as two years, while Sweat will, well, continue to be imprisoned.

The state can’t enforce collecting the restitution costs imposed on the pair, which carries no timeline, nor can they drum up more charges (been there, done that).

It’s debatable as to how much bite Son of Sam laws carry within the state, and how they can apply to people like Mitchell, whose crime didn’t result in any individual victims.

But the convicted felon still is eligible for a state pension.

Not only is Mitchell behind bars, but an assembly line of powerful state legislators are now facing their own criminal trials, including Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and Sheldon Silver, the former speaker of the state assembly.

With these highprofile cases continuing to garner headlines, now seems like the perfect time for lawmakers to reintroduce legislation to strengthen the provisions that would strip state workers convicted of crimes of their pensions.

New York has pension forfeiture laws, but they don’t go David Sweat far enough.

Not only do they not cover people like Mitchell, but the law only applies to public officials who became a member of the state’s retirement system after November 2011.

Closing this loophole will at least give this sordid, pointless affair some small degree of meaning.

HelpÊ supportÊ toteÊ drive To the Editor: Seasons greetings North Country residents!

It’s that time of the year when I humbly rely upon the generosity of community members, businesses and organizations to contribute to the annual Holiday Meal (Christmas) Tote Drive.

Last holiday season, I delivered approximately 60 meal totes to families enduring financial difficulties, community members enduring health issues as well as senior citizens within the towns of Jay and Black Brook. With the rising food costs this year, I anticipate the number of meals will surpass the amount from last holiday season.

Knowing community members will have a warm and delicious meal on Christmas Day is a wonderful feeling. However, over the past four years of coordinating the Annual Meal Tote Drive, I have developed rapports with so many of the recipients to the point where several are comfortable coming to my home to pick up their tote or stop me on the street and ask to have his/her name placed on my confidential list.

I can prepare and deliver the totes, but it is the generosity of the North Country community who truly make the annual drive continued success.

The following items are greatly appreciated: Turkeys, stuffing, cranberry sauce, canned corn and green beans, turkey gravy, potatoes (five-pound bags), packaged dinner rolls and apple pies (unfrozen, please).

Monetary contributions may be mailed to: Kelly C. Murphy/Event Coordinator/Annual Holiday Meal Tote Drive/P.O. Box 386/Au Sable Forks/12912. Contact Number: 524-5806.

Have a happy holiday season!

ThanksÊ forÊ aÊ greatÊ paper To the Editor: Thanks you for a professionally done newspaper. Without you we wouldn’t have a newspaper. It’s been a long time since I bought a copy of the so called newspaper printed in Glens Falls. When it went from fifty cents to a dollar, I quit buying it. Shopping today, I bought a copy, which was a total mistake as it was a total waste of money. Zero quality. Got home and you can’t believe my horror on looking at my cash register receipt and seeing the newspaper that is not worth even twenty-five cents now costing the ungodly sum of a $1.50. Sir, please keep up the good work on your Adirondack Journal. We need you!

Great run Griffins!

To the Editor: The Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport boys soccer team has completed a splendid run to the NYS Class D championship game. They lost that final game, but they were not beaten.

Our Griffins were magnificent in the semifinal game on Saturday defeating a physical, skilled, and determined team from Cincinnatus by a score of 2-0. It was a tough game in difficult conditions.

The state championship game on Sunday was anybodies game. During 80 minutes of game time a single five second play off a corner kick determined the final score, 1-0.

Fort Ann played a fair, quality game and perhaps held an advantage in the first half. The E-L/W Griffins played a fair, quality game and perhaps held an advantage in the second half.

The score reflected a loss, but in watching the game you knew they weren’t beaten because they never gave up. They simply ran out of time.

It was much fun to follow their run to a state championship title game and I thank them for that.

Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown

DisappointmentÊ inÊ theÊ paperÊ To the Editor: I am sorry to say that I am disappointed with your newspaper.

It was encouraging when you consolidated, and I expected to be better informed about things that occur in this large, rural area, which is otherwise largely ignored. However, I do not find this happening. Just before the recent elections, there was a big editorial about how we should all get out and vote. However, there was no information about the candidates and issues.

Following that election, there has been no information about the results.

I am still waiting to discover who will be the Essex County judge or clerk, among other things. I’m sure we would all like to be good citizens and it seems to me that a newspaper that claims to be of service to the community would fill the need to keep us informed.

LegionÊ expressesÊ gratitude To the Editor: This past season the American Legion Auxiliary, Unite 551, Elizabethtown sponsored a Silent Art Auction to benefit Veterans and present Military in the North Country. Many are suffering from trauma, and post stress syndrome due to several deployments. Our purpose is to assist them in receiving medical assistance and service as soon as possible.

Artists of many mediums and collectors contributed to the success of our auction.

A special part of our success was having the auction hosted by Beki and Bruce Pushee at the Old Mill Studio Gallery in Elizabethtown. The History and Ambience of the Gallery reflects the many years of entertainment, plus the teachings of the Art Studio. Many students rose to become well known artists.

COMMENTARY

In 2011 Irene struck a devastating blow to the Gallery, destroying a large area of the school. Beki and Bruce Pushee have worked diligently to restore it, but more remains to be done. The auction was the first event since the Irene Storm. The reaction of the Community was warmly received as they toured the Gallery and related many memories of the past.

Unit 551 thanks all for this participation and interest. If you know of a Veteran or Military in need of medical or emotional care please have them contact Betty Light 873-6541 or Nancy Dawson 593-9446. We also thank those attending the gallery. Thanks to you, Beki and Bruce have renewed energy to continue restoring the Gallery as a part of Elizabethtown’s history and enjoyment of the ARTS.

RejectÊ theÊ boardÊ recommendationsÊ To the Editor: At the Schroon Lake town board meeting on Nov. 5, the highway superintendent presented a list of names for positions he needed filled for wingmen and recommendations for employee raises for personnel who are employed by the town. All his efforts to explain or justify his recommendations were contemptuously rejected, dismissed out of hand. Some board members went further by singling out one employee on the list for public discussion, showing their prejudice against this employee. Instead of dealing with the list in general, these board members chose a single employee for persecution. In all my years of serving on the town board never have I seen such a disgraceful display. Employee issues have always been discussed in executive session, where the rights of the individuals were respected, not out in public session. A few days later there appeared in my town hall mailbox at a packet of papers regarding this individual employee including personal information. None of this was marked as confidential or for board members only, do not disseminate. Have these prejudiced board members now decided to make every employees files and records public information? That there is no longer confidential or private employee files and records? Or is this just further examples of their prejudices against this one employee?

This board had just passed a budget including using $87,000 of the taxpayers’ funds to build a tennis court, where only a handful of people in town play. But they could not consider the highway super’s request. One must wonder just what is the justification that these funds be used to benefit so few and if there is behind – the – scene corruption, or what is going on. A much better use of these funds would be to bulldoze the tennis courts and build a “Y” type recreational center with; weight, gymnastic, indoor swimming pool, indoor archery, basketball court, sauna rooms, etc. We would then have a facility that all could use, not just a few. The $87,000 could also be used to hire local persons to staff the facility. But certain members of this town board would rather spend the funds on a tennis court that very few will use. I urge every resident of Schroon to challenge this funding and the prejudices against our town employees this board has shown.

Little Bits Signs Gordie Little

F

inish this lyric, “On the wings of a…” Well done.

Even better, because you sang it out loud.

Every part of my life is inspired by “signs from above.” I sat here with nary a clue what the topic for today would be.

That song popped up like a piece of golden brown toast.

We all have daily “signs,” but most of us shrug them off. My hue and cry? There are no coincidences. The signs are everywhere. My advice is simply to pay attention.

My late father was Rev. Russell E. Little. He was a country minister of the old school who said he scared more hell out of people than a New York City taxi driver.

He was big and strong and an imposing figure, pounding the pulpit with his fist as he preached fire and brimstone in his quest to save souls.

He often expressed his desire that his sons would follow in his footsteps. My big brother Jim did just that. Little Gordie Little did not. Sorry, dad. But, as I walked among friends gathered in Malone recently to share stories and pictures, I came to the realization that in some way, Russell’s wish came true. I found myself preaching—about love and gratitude, healing and my view of goodness. My father’s black sheep was changing color.

I talked about signs. Kaye and I look for them and celebrate them. Some are encouraging; others are frightening. All are important. I read a social site note from a friend, labeled “Pennies From Heaven.” It’s the title of a song and of a story I tell about lucky pennies that show up when we need them as a sign.

My friend awoke to find a pattern made from pennies on her kitchen floor.

Linda said she had no change about the house and could see no way short of a miracle that the pennies could appear there. Yup—a true sign, perhaps from her late husband.

It’s a matter of belief.

When you see Kaye, ask what finding pennies means to us. We can be walking down the sidewalk on a moonless night and she will stop suddenly, reach down and pick up a heads-up penny.

Music is a significant part of my life. How often do you jump into your car, flip the radio on and hear a song that has special meaning for you? A sign?

YES. When I sat here with no idea what to write about, I was transported back to 1958 when Bob Ferguson wrote a song, recorded in 1960 by Ferlin Husky.

It was number one on the country charts for ten weeks, got up to #12 on the pop charts and is still indelible for me.

Sing along with me: “On the wings of a snow white dove, he sends his pure sweet love. A sign from above, on the wings of a dove.”

EYE ON THE ARTS

LINDA DOLLY

E

very holiday season there is an “it” gift. I am not referencing the item everyone wants, like the “Tickle Me Elmo” craze. I am alluding to the mass marketed items, generic enough for everyone, and a bit of a snore. They seem to decorate hundreds of end caps. If you wait until the last minute to shop, through repeated exposure and the desire to finish shopping, these sparkly nothings can morph into what seems like a great idea.

Instead, why not put a little panache in your presents? Consider a gift of art, or take a friend to an event. Below are some suggestions.

Give a room some pow...

One year my brother gave me a lamp made out of popsicle sticks. I doubt I would have purchased it for myself, but I love it.

“Off the Wall Original Art for $100 or Less” is a yearly event at BlueSeed Studio, located in Saranac Lake at 24 Cedar Street. Gallery hours are Monday-Saturday from 1-5 p.m.

If those times aren’t great for you, call 891-3799 to schedule an appointment.

I can’t guarantee you will find an intricate wooden structure like mine, but you will be in an environment rich in beautiful objects.

The exhibit will be open until Dec. 28. More information is available on their website www.bluesseedstudios.org.

Between the hours of 9:15-9:45 p.m. the place will be alive with Christmas carols, twinkling lights and anticipation. Waving goodbye to the train, everyone knows Santa will be here soon.

Musicians Kira Isabella and Wes Mack will perform on a boxcar stage at each stop.

Derrick Hopkins wrote me about a play he is promoting, funding, staging, casting and acting in. His tasks are many, but his goal is simple.

He seeds the production hoping to generate a donation larger than his original investment. All proceeds will be donated to the Elmore SPCA. The play “Beyond Therapy” will be presented Nov. 19, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. The stage is on the top level of Plattsburgh’s City Hall Auditorium, located at 41 City Hall Place, in Plattsburgh.

General admission prices are $10. Hopkins noted this play is not for children, due to the colorful adult language.

The play originally debuted on Broadway in 1981. The author of the play, Christopher Durang, won a Tony for his work.

Cast member Andrew Ducharme said he’s always enjoyed Durang’s sharp, witty writing style. Ducharme added that the play is absurd and hilarious, but said the best part is the profits are supporting the SPCA in Elmore.

City passes fine system for snow removal Fines levied to be between $50 and $250 depending on unit size and offense level

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh has passed a new fine system for those who fail to clear snow and ice from public sidewalks.

“It’s not unusual to fine people,” City Councilor Rachelle Armstrong said. “People have to understand that there’s a consequence for not assuming your civic responsibility.”

The fining system, which was passed on Nov. 12, focuses on three tiers: Residential houses with two units or fewer are the first; the second contains commercial buildings with three to 10 residential units on a single parcel along with businesses and nonprofits with three to 10 offices or comparable structure.

The third contains commercial buildings with more than

10 residential units on a single parcel or commercial property, along with businesses and nonprofits with more than 10 offices or comparable structure.

The city set up an offense level of five listing the specific fine amounts for each tier.

The city code, which was passed Oct. 15 before the fining system was implemented, states that If the city plows deposit more than 12 inches of snow on a public sidewalk, the owner of the property with that portion of the sidewalk is then exempt from removing the snow and will not be fined.

However, if the snow is lower than 12 inches and the property owner fails to clear or remove the snow or ice within those 24 hours, city employees or designated contractors will remove or treat the snow or ice, but the owner will receive a fine.

The agency responsible for distributing fines is yet to be determined.

“The system we had before was a problem; there were all kinds of people not complying with the previous code,” Armstrong said. “This new code is designed to allow for a consis-

tent consequence so that we have clear sidewalks.”

The new city code arose from the Snow Removal Advisory Committee two goals presented to the common council on Aug. 27: revise the current city code by this coming snow season and have the city assume the operations of sidewalk snow removal by next year’s snow season.

To see the updated snow removal policy and fine system or the Snow Removal Advisory Committee report to the common council, visit http://www.cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov/.

FINE SYSTEM Tier 1 goes from $50 first offense to $200 fifth offense.

Tier 2 starts off with $75 first offense and goes up to $225 fifth offense. Tier 3 goes from $100 first offense to $250 fifth offense. A $200 fine will be given to property owners who remove snow by placing it on the street or another property.

Diabetes Support Group to meet Nov. 24 PLATTSBURGH — The University of Vermont Health Network – Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital Diabetes Support Group will meet Tuesday, Nov. 24 from 6 to 7 p.m. in the CVPH Cafeteria.

This month’s speaker will be Stanley Hatch, OD, from Eye Care of the Adirondacks, who will explore the connections between diabetes and eye disease.

Hatch is a fellow of the American Academy of Optometry. He received his doctor of optometry from Michigan College of Optometry at Ferris State University after earning a bachelor’s degree from St. Lawrence University. In 1995, he earned a master’s in public health from

Harvard.

Prior to joining Eye Care for the Adirondacks in 1996, Hatch was a faculty member at the New England College of Optometry and practiced at the New England Eye Institute. He has written numerous articles for leading optometric publications.

The CVPH Diabetes Support Group is free, open to all and meets the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. There will be no meeting, however, in December. Call Heather Lacey at 518-314-3951 for additional information.

MostÊ preciousÊ blood

Donating blood is one of the most important gifts you can make, says the American Red Cross

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — A group of people lined the bleachers in a gymnasium on Friday afternoon.

After they signed in and skimmed a manual, the donors were led to a makeshift cubicle, recited their health history and tested for blood pressure, pulse, temperature and iron levels.

Then Donna Morgan and Luis Caraballo drew lifesaving blood from their arms.

Donating blood is vital, said the pair, part of the Northeastern New York Red Cross’ mobile unit.

Each day, 10 units begin in Albany and fan out across the northeast part of the state in the hunt for this precious commodity.

Today, the unit was in Elizabethtown; yesterday, Schroon, and the next, Waterford, in Saratoga County.

At 3:15 p.m., donors were still trickling in.

Blood is synthetic and cannot be artificially created.

“The only way you’re going to get it,” said Morgan, “is through donations.”

It takes 10 minutes to draw one pint. Each person has between 10-12 of them.

Caraballo removed a needle from a man. He held up his arm and clenched his first. Afterward, the man stood up, carefully rolled down his sleeve and strolled over to the snack table, which was piled with water, juice and snacks.

The blood was brought over in a hermetically-sealed bag and placed next to a rack of test tubes, which would be sent to Henrietta that evening for testing packed in 7 pounds of ice.

Once cleared for disease, each pint could be available to someone else in 72 hours.

Each bag could save three lives, Caraballo said.

He was first spurned to donate to help leukemia patients.

Chemo kills blood cells.

Morgan said both of her parents had been at the receiving end of transfusions.

The source came from people just like this.

“I think when you get older, you realize how important it is,” said Morgan, a lifelong donor.

The American Red Cross organizes these drives in conjunction with local coordinators who drum up interest in the schools and the surrounding community.

Business was great today, said Morgan. About 20 kids signed up, including many first-time donors.

Not bad for a small town in the mountains.

“They were troopers,” said Morgan.

Myra Adams, 16, was inspired to donate by the organizer, Connie Blaine.

“You get told who it goes to,” said Adams. “It makes you feel good, you’re doing it for a cause, even if you don’t like needles.”

Adams cited a discussion with a friend whose donation went to a heart patient.

“If you’re helping someone, you’re helping someone,” she said, stressing the recipient needn’t be local.

Elizabethtown-Lewis, like other school districts, organizes two drives each year. The Red Cross provides scholarships if they hit benchmarks, which are always flexible.

“It just makes me feel good,” said Blaine.

Blood can be given every 56 days.

People cycled through the gymnasium.

As the team began packing up, halfway across the world, nine men entered a Parisian concert hall, where a Southern California rock band was seven songs through a sold-out gig, and started shooting.

The next morning, people queued for hours at Hospital St Antoine to donate blood.

“The satisfactory level of reservations in blood products has helped to deal with the exceptional situation of this night,” blood donor charity Etablissement Français du Sang-Ile de France said in a statement.

But 10,000 donations are needed every day, they said, and urged people to come back later in the week.

The Northeastern New York Chapter of the American Red Cross has 10 mobile units that facilitate blood drives in the district. Blood is a precious commodity, said staffers at a drive in Elizabethtown on Friday, Nov. 13, because it cannot be created artificially. Once cleared by testing, donated blood, including the bag pictured above, can be used to save a life within 72 hours.

Tuition program << Continued from | p. 1

Plattsburgh is opening its doors to students this way.”

Students graduating in June 2016 who attend schools in Clinton, Essex Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties and have a cumulative average of 90 or above in a Regents program of study are eligible for the scholarship.

“We want to acknowledge to the North Country that we do consider ourselves stewards of place and that we have a responsibility to the people in this region,” SUNY Plattsburgh President John Ettling. “One of the ways in which we can demonstrate that responsibility is by making it possible for sons and daughters of the North Country to come to college here.”

SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS In order to qualify for the scholarship, interested graduates must be accepted for admission to SUNY Plattsburgh, attend full time beginning in August 2016 taking 12 or more credits and maintain a 3.25 cumulative GPA in order for the scholarship to continue throughout their education at the college — in which they can receive it for up to eight semesters of consecutive study.

“Many of our kids come from underprivileged homes and high poverty,” Ticonderoga Central School Superintendent John McDonald said. “This will open the door for them.”

Eligible graduates must file FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and TAP (New York State Tuition Assistance Program) applications. If students receive federal assistance, the scholarship will cover the remainder of the unpaid tuition.

Currently, undergraduate in-state tuition per semester for full-time students in 2015-16 is $3,235.

“To have a program that makes college tuition more affordable for students who work hard academically throughout high school is wonderful,” said Chazy Central Rural School Superintendent John Fairchild. “It’s great opportunity for the students.”

The accepted freshman must live on campus or commute from home.

Room, board, textbook and fees are not included in the scholarship, including a $250 deposit that must be paid before starting classes.

THE FUTURE SUNY Plattsburgh made the announcement in September to high schools within the seven counties.

The ‘Burgh Sun • November 21, 2015 | 13

Although the North Country Scholarship is geared toward June 2016 graduates, Ettling hopes to continue this program for future North Country graduates years to come.

“I’m optimistic about the success of this program,” Ettling said. “We hope that we’re able to extend this way into the future.”

For more information about SUNY Plattsburgh’s North Country Scholarship, contact the college’s Financial Aid Office at 518-564-2072.

“This scholarship from SUNY Plattsburgh really showed us the commitment to our North Country students,” AuSable Valley Central School Superintendent Paul Savage said. “It’s a very important piece in demonstrating and believing in our future here in the North Country.”

Plattsburgh High earns Class B championship

Defeat East Aurora in the final game

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLETOWN — “State champions have to pick up equipment, too.”

That was the message of Plattsburgh High head coach Patrick Shaughnessy as members of his team rushed to celebrate with family and community after the Hornets scored a 3-1 win against East Aurora in the NYSPHSAA Class B championship game.

“I don’t feel anything right now, there’s a tingling in my legs but everything else is numb,” Shaughnessy responded when one of his players asked what he was feeling.

“This is amazing,” Hannes Kurzmann, a junior foreign exchange student from Germany, said after the game. “There are no words for this.”

Kurzmann played a hand in every goal the Hornets scored in the championship game, assisting on the opener to Trevor Wills, who scored just 34 seconds into the match. Ò The defender didn’t really have the ball and I got it with my heel,” Kurzmann said. “I had a lot of space across the field to cross it to Trevor and that was real important for us.”

“What we needed to do was come out early and get a goal on the board,” Wills said. Luckily the ball came to me and we were able to do that.”

That goal was unbelievable,” defender Alex Puchalski said. “It was something right off a video game. I loved it. After that we were so motivated to get going and it was a game changer for sure.” Jacob Brandmeier, Trevor Wills, Jeremy Davies and Hannes Kurzmann celebrate after Wills connected on a shot (inset) 34 seconds into the game to give the PHS Hornets a 1-0 lead in the Class B state championship, a game they would end up winning, 3-1.

“That was just how we drew it up,” Alex Photo by Jill Lobdell Follmer said. “We preach to come out early and and we wanted to prevent them from scoring off those plays.” thinking we were the best team in the state then. to see it work for us was awesome.”

“We also lost right before sectionals and that gave us a bit “They are rock solid every time they get on that field. To“We always preach coming out early,” Shaughnessy said.

“Our team was ready ever since last night. I think it was our day, it really helped,” keeper J.D. Side said of his teammates. of a reality check.” best warmup of the season and it led right into the first 30 “We did not to let them to get their long throws.”

Shaughnessy also said the season gave him a chance to seconds of the game.”

“We knew they were a good team and we knew we still had come together with his team as a first year head coach.

Kurzmann then scored the second goal of the half in the to play hard and give everything in the last 40 minutes,” Kurz“I guess the expectations are going to be high for next year,” mann said. “J.D. made some incredible saves.”

It gave us a lot of confidence we could score against this team.” resilient,” Wills said.

Shaughnessy is one of a select number of coaches who That pressure ended in the final ticks of the 78th minute, as have ever played in the state championships (2007) as well East Aurora cut the lead in half in the 30th minute, with the the Hornets pressured the East Aurora goal. After a scrum for as coach, being able to avenge a 1-0 championship game loss Hornets holding a 201 lead heading into the second 40.

“We wanted to continue to press them offensively but we possession, the ball rolled into the middle of the penalty area from his time as a player with a state title as a coach.

“It is not just for me but for all 20 of the kids here,” he said. focused on defense,” Puchalski said. “Our midfielders stepped with no one around but a charging Kurzmann.

“There was just two minutes left and I saw the ball and just it up on the defensive end and it was a really physical game thought, this is our win,” he said. toward the end.”

“He was good in the beginning of the year and he has been “We got wide and our defense played great,” Follmer said.

“They are very dangerous on those long throws and corners amazing these past couple of days,” Shaughnessy said. “The ball always seems to find him in the right spots and he always manages to finish.”

“When he came, I didn’t know much about him but knew he wanted to try out for the team,” Follmer said about Kurzmann. “Once he came in, he just became a brother to me. Everyone on the team has taken him under their wing and he has just preformed crazy.”

From there, the Hornets kept one eye on the ball and one eye on the clock, waiting as it hit one minute, then 30 seconds, then 10 so the countdown could begin.

“We just won the state championship boys,” one of the players shouted out.

“This is awesome to end our season on a win,” Follmer said.

“This is what we said we wanted to do at the beginning of the season and we did that.”

“I really didn’t expect we could do this until (the end of the game),” Shaughnessy said. “You never take anything for granted. We are one of the five teams that can say they ended their season on a win. I knew this team had a lot of talent but a state championship, this is unbelievable.”

“It’s everything,” Side exclaimed. “This is everything I have always wanted since I was six years old playing soccer.”

“We have not been treating any game in a special way, we have just been taking them as they come,” Puchalski said. “I can’t feel a thing right now. I don’t know what to expect.”

“We have been working all season to come out and finish with a win,” added Wills.

Shaughnessy said his team had been molded for a championship throughout the season, including the two losses it suffered in the regular season.

“We loss two games I swore we could have won but we took them for granted,” he said. “I think the first game we lost to Saranac Lake was a heart-breaker, losing on an own goal in Hannes Kurzmann was named MVP of the Class B championship game the final second, but we came out and showed our heart in the J.D. Side reaches for a save against East Aurora in the NYSPHSAA Class next game. It put us back into place because we went in there B championship game. for the PHS Hornets.

Karl Schulz

Henry McGrew

Bombers hit championship mark North Country represented well in state championship

By Jill Lobdell

jill@suncommunitynews.com

WOODBURY — The Lake Placid varsity boys cross country team came out on top as the small school from Section VII captured the NYSPHSAA Class D title at Monroe-Woodbury High School Nov. 14.

The team was led by Karl Schulz, who crossed at 17:02.0, followed by Henry McGrew in 17:13.7, Scott Schulz in 17:33.5, Trent White in 18:04.0 and Forest Ledger at in 18:06.1.

“The boys knew where they had to place at a certain place and knew where they had to be in order to win the race,” Blue Bombers coach Mel Frazier said. “I think they did even better than where they need to be. There were definitely nerves before the race of course, but those nerves were good. They new what they had to do to finish the race.”

“To prepare for the race the coaches had a meeting the night before about the top two schools and the individuals they had to beat,” Karl Schulz said. “I ran one of the best races I ever had. The first part was flat and the second was extremely hilly. It was hard not to go out too hard and to take the first half easier.

It was really critical to go up and push over the hill. They said to run downhill fast and stay on course. The hills made everyone go slower.”

Schulz was focused on a pair of other athletes with the goal to stay in front of them to help secure positions for the team.

“I had beat my two target guys that (Forest) Ledger told me that would get us the points to win the race,” he said.

“I knew that I wasn’t going to get the individual award but wanted to get the team. I thought I was in 12th place. I didn’t know for sure and was pumped at finishing sixth. I was super excited.”

Schulz said the moment started to sink in after he crossed the finish line.

“It was total excitement not just for me, but as a team as one,” he said. “All the hard work and training paid off. I am honored to be part of the a group who is one of the best teams out there!”

For the future Schulz will be doing Nordic/Cross Country. He is leaving in a couple of weeks for Steamboat, Colo., for the Youth Olympic Games and World Tryouts. He is going through the

NYSEF Team with three other athletes for tryouts.

McGrew said a chance to win a state championship was what motivated him coming into the season.

“I have been training with running and roller skiing since summer,” McGrew said. “I ran seven miles with shorter and intense workouts as well.

The coaches told me to stay focus, positive and concentrate on keeping mentally and physically focused. I wanted to concentrate on catching one more runner in front of me.”

After crossing the line, McGrew was happy but unsure of how they finished and it was a really uneasy feeling, he said.

“I was really happy,” he said when he found out they had won. “We did our best and accomplished our goal. I felt really honored to win with this team.”

For Scott Schulz , the day began with a right leg injury in preparing for the race he said, “The coaches emphasized that rest was the big thing for any competition beginning at least two days ahead,” he said. “Eat well for breakfast like eggs, oatmeal, chocolate milk and for dinner, especially the night before, eat a lot of carbohydrates like loads of pastas. They said to put one foot in front of the other and keep our head in the game.”

After the race, Scott congratulated the rest of the racers. He was skeptical while waiting and tried to see who was there.

For White, it was all about getting to the starting line.

“Before the race began, I was really nervous and queasy,” White said.

“When the gun went off, it all went away.

I had to mentally prepare myself. I made checkpoints along the way and that helped keep my mind prepared. I had to keep my mind busy and it helped in the final outcome because I knew where I had to be and where my team had to be to get the win. We had to mentally prepare for the race as a team. We had to run a lot and run a lot of hills. Karl and Henry ran so fast. The two teams we had to beat were mostly behind us.”

Ledger said the team used their knowledge of the state championship course from racing on it earlier in the year.

“In preparing the team ran the Monroe-Woodbury High School course in September because they wanted to be ready for this race,” he said.

Because of that, the team covered more hills into training to be more prepared as much as they could.

“I didn’t have my best race but my team was more prepared with more uphills and downhills,” Ledger said. “The training really paid off.”

Ledger may have had the biggest run of the day, passing a pair of Maple Hill runners in the home stretch to gain two spots for the team.

“After I passed them I hoped my team caught the racers they were supposed to,” he said. “When we found out (we won) I was so excited. This was my sixth year and Karl’s fifth year and we have been working for this for a third of our lives.”

During the celebration, the team also had something to look forward to as coach Bill Fazier, who assumed head coaching responsibilities while his wife and head coach, Mel, had a child.

“The deal was if we received our racing stripe, he would shave his head,” McGrew said.

The event is planned in their home Thursday.

The North Country schools also included Peru, Beekmantown, Plattsburgh, Seton Catholic, Saranac, Saranac Lake, EKMW, Ticonderoga and Schroon Lake.

Despite a cool, windy morning, the runners came out strong and most ran in the middle to front. The Class D finals in both boys and girls had some of the strongest runners.

EKMW’s Jonathan Gay, a senior from Westport with a time of 16:44.0, took third place in the Class D race following Dawson Bathgate from East Rochester and Alex Hogue from Wheatland-Chili.

Meanwhile Seton Catholic senior and University of New Hampshire commit Margaret Champagne finished with a strong fourth place finish of 19:25.2.

“I think I ran a respectable race overall, but just came up a little short, but a respectable race,” Gay said.

EKMW coach Howard Hammonds said that it was really exciting to see all the kids come out running hard. The course was very challenging with hard hills and valleys.

“We made a course in Moriah up Cheney Mountain that was similar to this course here,” he said. “There were a lot of hills. This is one of the hardest courses we ever ran.”

Hornets sting late first, early second to advance

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLETOWN — It was back and forth soccer for the first 40 minutes of the NYSPHSAA Class B final between the Plattsburgh High Hornets and Skaneateles Lakers Nov. 14.

Well, almost 40 minutes.

More like 39 minutes and 40 seconds.

With 20 seconds remaining in the opening half, Hannes Kurzmann scored on a run which found him with just the keeper to beat. He then scored five minutes into the second half, a marker which proved to be the golden goal sending the Hornets past the Lakers, 2-1, and into the state title game.

“This was a really intense game,” Kurzmann said. “I got a high ball on my run and the keeper had the left open, so I sent it there.”

“In the final minute, I was thinking I was pretty happy with them having the wind at their backs so with 30 seconds left, I was pretty happy,” head coach Patrick Shaughnessy said. “Then, we worked a very good goal and it was huge.”

Alex Follmer set up the second Kurzmann goal.

“Someone played me a ball

to the endline with the right back, and I knew I had to get to it,” Follmer said. “I was able to control the ball along the endline and knocked a pass across to Hannes. They were a really tough team to get through.”

A goal in the 62nd minute of play was the only score for the Lakers, while J.D. Side kept the Hornets to the good in goal differential along with his defense, led by sweeper Alex Puchalski.

“We’ve had a pretty solid strategy throughout the year and we stuck with that,” Puchalski said. “Everyone on the Skaneateles team was a great player. We had a lot of determination and I’m so proud of my coach and my team.”

“The defense has been very good this postseason,” Shaughnessy said. “J.D. has been in the net since day one and they are all pumped up to play one more game.”

Even though he is a first year coach and putting in a new system, Shaughnessy said his team always reached for the highest of goals.

“I was coming in hoping to succeed, of course,” Shaughnessy said. “We set our goal high but I don’t think we ever realized it would turn out this good.”

Hannes Kurzmann scored a pair of goals in a 2-1 win against Skaneateles in the Class B semifinal game Nov. 14.
