PLATTSBURGH — Spirit Airlines is increasing its flights from two to three times weekly between Myrtle Beach and Plattsburgh.

The airline, which was recently criticized for distasteful advertising, was already scheduled to start offering two weekly trips in May. “This represents a 50 percent increase in Spirit’s flights between Plattsburgh and Myrtle Beach, which is significant,” said North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Mooers Elementary School fifth graders, from left to right, Jacob Steinfeld, Hannah Hemingway, Gabby Dumas, Olivia Gonyo and Faith Guerin, stand in in front of one of the antibullying posters hanging throughout the school.

MOOERS — Bullying triggers empathy in Hannah Hemingway, who wonders how horrific someone’s life must have been to turn that individual into a monster who now terrorizes others.

“It makes me feel bad,” said the Mooers Elementary School fifth grader.

But she feels even worse for the victim, often someone who is different, such as a child with a disability who already struggles to fit in.

“What we do makes a difference with kids,” Hemingway said.

Mooers Elementary School utilizes a variety of tools to dismantle bullying and create an environment

in which students feel safe and thrive.

“Bullying is somebody threatening or punching and somebody being scared to come to school,” said Jacob Steinfeld, another fifth grader. “It scares the other kid and makes them feel bad to know they are being bullied.”

Steinfeld and other Mooers Elementary School students recently participated in the yearly anti-bullying poster contest. Kindergarten through fifth-grade students created posters that conveyed “Be a Buddy – Not a Bully.”

Each grade received first, second and third place gift cards for the yearly book fair. The winning posters are currently displayed throughout the school.

Community gathers for recreation Recreation activities exist, but some suggest mergers

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Luke Cyphers wants to start a dialogue about the many recreation blessings in Clinton County.

He wants to make the most of what the North Country has to offer.

He and other recreational proponents also want to promote what already exists and explore expanding recreation opportunities for everyone in the North Country.

“We need to attract new business, new workers and new taxpayers and keep the ones here to maintain a thriving community,” said Cyphers, chairman of the Saranac River Trail Advisory Committee and member of the Vision2Action task force.

He spoke at a recent gathering of the community and

recreation experts at Plattsburgh State called Recreation Opportunities in Clinton County. It was hosted by the Partnership for Community Development.

Cyphers moderated the event.

“Recreation isn’t just fun and games,” he said. “It is a matter of life and death.”

Clinton County Director of Public Health Jerie Reid explained how recreation can help tackle the obesity epidemic, as well as disease and chronic health issues.

In New York state, 31 percent of children are overweight and obese, while at least 51 percent of children in Clinton County are overweight and obese.

A total of 63 percent of middle school aged children are obese.

The top causes of death in Clinton County are heart disease and cancer, which are often caused by lack of recreational activity, tobacco use and poor nutrition.

“This is about changing the fabric of the community we live in,” Reid said.

Steve Peters, Plattsburgh

City Recreation Director, discussed the recreation task force and the ideas explored through that gathering. The focus, he said, is on what will have the most impact with the least amount of effort, while not dismissing any suggestion that would benefit the area.

Many of the ideas simply deal with promoting what already exists in the area, such as kayaking and bike routes.

Suggestions included expanding the Saranac River Trail, increased water access for boating, more bike lanes, an enhanced mountain biking community, winterfest, an adventure race, indoor soccer tournaments and the construction of an indoor sports complex, as well as an indoor water park.

“Just because it is hard to implement, doesn’t mean we should ignore it,” Peters said.

He stressed that the region is unique and must be better promoted.

Clinton County Recreation Director Molly Flynn discussed the programs she

coordinates for area youth, while Melanie Defayette, Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Director, outlined what the town has to offer.

Peters then described the many programs and opportunities available through the City of Plattsburgh.

Local businessman Neil Fesette suggested the three entities combine, joining forces to offer more programs while saving money.

He suggested the area create a local parks and recreation institute.

“Wouldn’t it be neat if all you guys were working under one roof and it was a unified effort?”

This would enhance promotion efforts and provide a central information source.

Resources and budgets would be pooled together for the benefit of the area, Fesette said.

“When businesses merge there are natural efficiencies,” he said. “We need to make our recreation opportunities as good as we can make them. Do we want to be status quo, or do we want to step it up?”

Community gathers to celebrate the Earth Earth Day events continue to grow locally as residents focus on sustainability

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Rain fell steadily outside, the air cool as live music swept through the Plattsburgh Farmers and Crafters Market pavilion.

Children and adults danced around the room and filtered in and out of the groups gathered to mark the area’s fourth annual Earth Day Celebration.

“A group of random people in the community got together to form Earth Day events,” said Sarah Cronk-Duquette, one of seven committee members. “We are trying to focus on water and the arts this year.”

The annual celebration is hosted by Earth Day Every Day, in conjunction with the Plattsburgh Community Garden and the Red Hummingbird Foundation.

“We want to raise community awareness so the next generation is less wasteful and more Earth conscious,” said Peggy McCartney, a local teacher and committee member.

Her students participated in Earth Day projects and made posters to help make them more aware of the Earth and natural resources.

Earth Day is held each year worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s natural environment. It is celebrated in more than 175 countries each year.

In 1969, John McConnell pioneered the name

A separate Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in on April 22, 1970. He was inspired by the massive oil spill in 1969 in Santa Barbara, California.

Community remembers the Holocaust Annual Days of Remembrance reflects on horror of the FInal Solution

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Nearly 67 years have passed since the victory of the allied forces.

Yet the specter of the Holocaust continues to pollute the world of the living, said Dr. Jonathan Slater, associate professor of public relations in the Center for Communication and Journalism at Plattsburgh State.

He wondered if it was possible to forget the sadistic torture, slavery and murder of innocents.

“Every child gunned down tears at our hearts,” he said, speaking at Temple Beth Israel during Plattsburgh State’s annual Days of Remembrance program commemorating the Holocaust.

“This afternoon we will hear the voices of those who could not speak above the roar of hate.”

The theme of this year ’s remembrance was “Voices of the Holocaust,” which was underscored by two presentations – “Voices of Hate: Roadio’s Role in the Holocaust,” by Plattsburgh State student Scott Henkel, and “Silenced Voices: The Murdered Children of France,” performed by student Tess Buscema and company.

The letters read told of children, on their way to their deaths, reflecting on their lives, dreams and fears, telling loved ones to remain strong and wondering if they will see them again. One child asked that her parents be sent back to her, while another described how thin he has gotten as his strength fades.

More than one million Jewish children were killed during the Holocaust.

Henkle described how radio can be used

to manipulate the emotions of society and how the Nazis mastered the art of propaganda through its use, even subsidizing the production of inexpensive radio sets that could not receive foreign broadcasts.

“Once the German people had their radios, it was only a matter of delivering the message,” Henkle said.

The Nazis undertook disinformation campaigns and planted stories, for example, to incite hate for the Polish and justify an invasion.

Those at the April 19 remembrance sat in silence, listening to the stories of the Holocaust.

Congress established the Days of Remembrance as the nation’s annual commemoration of the Holocaust, creating the Holocaust museum as a permanent living memorial to the victims.

The Holocaust was the systematic, statesponsored persecution and murder of roughly six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.

The Nazis came into power in Germany in early 1933, believing Germans were racially superior and that Jews were inferior and a threat to the German racial community. The Nazis also targeted Gypsies, the disabled, some Slavic peoples, communists, socialists, Jehovah’s Witnesses and homosexuals.

Jews were the primary targets, though the Nazis also killed some 200,000 Gypsies and at least 200,000 mentally or physically disabled patients.

The Nazis’ genocide, when factoring in all groups, pushes the number of victims to between 11 million and 17 million people.

Jewish victims were killed in concentration camps, through shootings, medical experiments and much more as the Nazis carried out the “Final Solution.”

“When we face an atrocity such as the Holocaust, we come to a point where words fail us,” said Temple Beth Israel Rabbi Emma Gottlieb.

North Countryman Editorial

Increase sensitivity to women’s issues

I

sat quietly in the dark, tears streaming down my face as her voice whispered in the blackness.

Her grandfather sexually abused her since she was a little girl. Today, when peers talk about losing their virginity, she lies.

But I was not mourning her, because, as she told her story for the first time, she took that giant leap from victim to acknowledged survivor. She was ready to live.

A large crowd of mostly women, and some men, packed the second floor ballroom of Plattsburgh State’s Angell College Center for Take Back the Night. Take Back the Night is an international event, as people gather and take to the streets to raise awareness about violence against women, share stories, some for the first time, and heal and grow as survivors.

Plattsburgh State students and their supporters were unable to hold the march in the streets this year. Plattsburgh’s Common Council approved it, but restricted it to the sidewalks, citing safety concerns and saying they never approved it for the streets in the past, although that is where it has taken place in the past, and with the assistance of local law enforcement.

I believe the group should have been allowed to march in the streets.

Women experience roughly 4.8 million intimate partner related physical assaults and rapes yearly, according to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.

In 2006, 232,960 women in the United States were raped or sexually assaulted, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey. That’s more than 600 women daily.

A survey conducted by the CDC in 2010 found that one in five women has been raped or has experienced an attempted rape, while one in six has been stalked and one in four has been beaten by their intimate partner.

Besides the horrific examples of abuse, there is a glaring societal tragedy occurring in the North Country in terms of enabling and ignorance.

Therapy Night Club and Sport Lounge hosted a Girls Gone Wild event last year, a clear example of the objectification of women and perverse glorification of a model of women too many young girls have damaged themselves physically and emotionally to mimic. Despite these realities, many in the North Country defended Girls Gone Wild and reverted to misogynistic cave-man like behavior, joking and commenting on the scantily clad women in ways some find acceptable, funny and harmless.

Meanwhile, a young woman walks down the street, minding her own business as a group of men cat-call and objectify her.

That’s wrong for any woman to endure, but imagine if that woman had been victimized in the past and has difficulty walking by men, let alone ones who treat her like a meal.

Or, while some so-called adults make light of Girls Gone Wild posters, a young woman has locked herself in the bathroom and is making herself vomit so she can lose weight and fit into a bikini the way the media says she should.

Also sad is that city officials said last year’s police presence assisting Take Back the Night marchers was because the event coincided with Girls Gone Wild, which drew a big crowd. So I guess to garner support for a group working to save women’s lives you need to schedule alongside one that objectifies women.

Take Back the Night is needed and should have been allowed in the streets, because the situation is dire. Plus, those who shared their tragic stories were healing, and what an uplifting way to do it, taking to the streets, declaring your strength and demanding your safety.

I recall the first time I shared I had been sexually abused. How strong I would have felt to march in the streets beside survivors.

Further reasons it is an important event and should be held in the streets were the insensitive and ignorant comments made by the public through media outlets in response to local news articles. They clearly speak from the privilege of never enduring such pain and brutalization.

I recall one individual writing that Take Back the Night could be held in the streets as long as it didn’t make him late for dinner. It would do such individuals good to stop for such a march, get out of their vehicles, pay attention and take time out of their privileged days to listen to some stories of survivors.

Another comment has been made that by not marching on the sidewalk, or possibly choosing another route, and opting instead to hold Take Back the Night inside, the women were basically cry babies and sore losers.

I don’t know whether their decision was right or wrong. But I do know the men and women I saw that night were powerful and were not going to let men dictate how they held their celebration. They were bold and brilliant survivors living life on their terms.

Handling the GOP’s hot potato

By Glenn Scherer

T

hough some may find the forecast far-fetched, global warming could prove fatal to the GOP this November – or in the near future.

Why? A large majority of Americans now say unequivocally that the whiplash weather bringing drought, deluge and scorching heat mostly to Red States over the past two years, was intensified by global warming, according to a new study.

Meanwhile, Republican congressional hopefuls and Mitt Romney have hitched their election bids to climate change skepticism, siding with Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe who calls global warming “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.”

The American people however are now personally seeing that the hoax may all be on the climate change denier side. According to in-depth research by Yale and

George Mason universities, by a margin of over 2 to 1 (52 percent vs. 22 percent), they say that U.S. weather – including heat waves, droughts and severe rainstorms – has been getting worse, rather than better, in recent years.

More importantly, Americans say extreme weather is adding to local hardships, including harm to crops (46%), damage from floods (39%), and problems with air quality (38%), forest fires (34%), water quality (31%), and transportation (23%), says the study.

This year ’s weather trends could further erode voter patience with the GOP. This March, the nation shattered over 15,000 heat records in a single month. And more scorchers are likely on the way, with above normal temperatures predicted across most of the nation through November, says the U.S. Climate Prediction Center. Worse, nearly two thirds of the country – 39 states – is already experiencing drought this

spring (usually a wet time), as we head into the dry dog days of summer, says the U.S. Drought Monitor.

These trends, if continued, could lead to an extreme summertime heat and drought emergency, making Republican candidates sweat out their electoral bids as they try to defend their belligerent climate change denial records.

Especially susceptible is their argument that global warming will cost more to fix long term, than the economic damage it is already doing. American commerce and communities were slammed with record economic losses due to weather disasters last year – including tornado-ravaged Joplin, Missouri and Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the decimated Texas cattle herds, millions of acres of drowned farmland along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, and the heat scorched Southern peanut crop.

The U.S. endured a jaw-dropping 14 major weather disasters

in 2011, each costing $1 billion or more in damages, totaling $53 billion. Extreme weather is now increasing prices on everything from beef, to cotton clothing, and peanut butter. Add to that the tragic loss of human life, and the on-the-ground impacts of climate change are becoming hard for voters to ignore.

Of more concern to Republican candidates: About half of Americans (51%) now believe that extreme weather will cause a natural disaster in their own community in the next year, bringing loss of life, water shortages, wildfires, damage to crops and other hardships.

If the global warming public opinion pendulum swings decisively against Republicans in this election – or at the midterms or in 2016, it leaves the GOP with little maneuverability. With the party’s purse strings tightly tied to big oil, coal, and natural gas interests, the Grand Old Party cannot change its position on climate

change without taking a huge hit to campaign coffers.

Strangely, the more climate change evidence has become irrefutable, the more Republican politicians have entrenched against it, and the shriller their position has become. With 97 percent of all scientists now saying that global warming is happening and human-caused, according to the National Academy of Sciences, and with the weather proving out that assertion, the die is cast.

It could prove a long hot summer – and century – for Red State Republicans heading home to campaign with constituents whose lives are being made miserable, and whose economic fortunes are being ruined, by scorching temperatures, drought, deluge, and waves of tornadoes.

Tactfully declining an invitation I

am a busy working mom, never having any time to myself. I have lots of acquaintances and friends, and am invited out fairly frequently. I just don’t have the time, money or energy to attend everything and don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. How do I tactfully decline an invitation?

A good way to start is to prioritize events and people in your life leaving room for a balance of work, family, relationships, recreation and personal time. What this does for you, is it clarifies how much time you have to devote to each area and possibly a filter for how you can honestly express your responses.

Delgato has a sweet disposition and great leash manners.

He can be a little shy until he gets to know you, but quickly warms up to attention and has a gentle, loving nature. Delgato enjoys meeting other dogs and we feel he would make a wonderful addition to almost any family. Better still, if you have room in your heart - and your home - why not adopt both Delgato and Dojoe? You will have no shortage of doggy kisses and love!

Volunteers turn out for North Country Day of Caring Annual event has neighbor helping neighbor as North Country spreads out to volunteer

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Government can’t do everything, especially when people cannot afford it, says Jerry Morrow.

Fortunately, the North Country pulls together, said the Chesterfield supervisor.

On April 21, hundreds of volunteers pulled together across Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties for the second annual Day of Caring hosted by the United Way of the Adirondack Region, the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau and Project H.E.L.P. at Plattsburgh State.

“This reminds me of why I am so proud to represent the North Country in Albany,” said Assemblywoman Janet Duprey at a press conference at the United Way in Plattsburgh. “We are truly unique with neighbor helping neighbor.”

More than 300 volunteers from the three counties, as well as students, completed 64 projects.

Volunteers donated time to 20 non-profits, more than 20 residential areas, 10 non-profit tourism attracts and those affected by recent natural disasters. This year ’s event expanded its scope to include nonprofit museums and for-profit attractions impacted by 2011’s natural disasters.

“We felt it vital to the health of our community to reach out and support our non-profit museums as well as for-profit attractions that were affected by recent natural disasters,” said Kristy Kennedy, Group & Event Specialist for the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau.

“We encouraged volunteers from the tourism industry to step up and get involved.”

Local residents that didn’t have time to volunteer were able to participate by donating canned goods to Project H.E.L.P’s food drive, where students went door to door in Plattsburgh collecting donations “Project H.E.L.P. at SUNY Plattsburgh was once again proud to be a partner for Day of Caring,” said Michael Cashman, Assistant Director for Campus Activities at Plattsburgh State. “Every year we have incredible success in engaging our

Bullying from page 1 But this contest is only one of the many activities students participate in to help create and sustain a positive and caring climate in school.

The school also conducts a safe school ambassador program, a group of committed and trained fourth and fifth graders lead, display tolerance, model respect and help keep the school safe by reducing bullying behaviors and setting a positive climate.

“Schools should be held accountable, and we have been and are,” said School Counselor Carol LaBarge. “We do a number of things throughout the year to establish a positive climate to promote learning.”

Principal Dennis Rasco pointed out that on July 1, Dignity for all Students comes into effect.

Discussion group for unpaid care givers slated PLATTSBURGH— Two discussion groups for all unpaid caregivers will be provided by the Caregiver Resource Center Respite/Program of Behavioral Health Services North.

The first program will be held Thursday, April 12 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the United Way Building, 45 Tom Miller Road.

The second program will be held on Wednesday April 25 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Emmaus Room at St. Peter ’s Church.

For more information about the program please call 565-4543.

Peru seeks BOE members PERU —Peru Central School District is seeking candidates to fill one vacancy for a five-year term of office on it’s Board of Edu-

student citizens by placing them at local agencies in this wonderful community they call their home away from home. The Day of Caring represents the best of the North Country’s spirit.”

Fred C. Keil, a local architect, volunteered at the Strand Theatre in Plattsburgh.

“Last year, there was $10,000 to $12,000 worth of work done here by volunteers.”

Leigh Mundy, who oversees the restoration of the Strand and is board president of the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, said it is always helpful when people come in and share their time. It also helps the community feel ownership of the Strand.

“The Day of Caring is a tremendous opportunity for people from Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties to come together for friends and neighbors and to help maintain our unique quality of life,” said John Bernardi, executive director for United Way of the Adirondack Region.

Morrow said the region needs more community participation and neighbor helping neighbor.

“Everybody’s life would be so much easier.”

The Dignity for All Students Act, signed into law on Sept.

13, 2010, takes effect this year. IT seeks to provide public elementary and secondary school students with a safe and supportive environment free from discrimination, intimidation, taunting, harassment and bullying on school property.

“A parent has the right to expect that when they send their child to school that child will be safe,” Rasco said.

He pointed out paper hands, taped to the wall with names on them that represent a child being recognized for doing something good, another way to create a positive climate at school.

That is vital, given the figures when it comes to bullying.

Approximately 60 percent of middle school students say they have been bullied, while only 16 percent of staff believe students are bullied, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

Roughly 160,000 students stay home from school daily

due to bullying.

“I think it makes kids feel bad,” said Mooers fifth grader Olivia Gonyo. “It makes them feel worried about coming to school.”

She acts as a big buddy and mentor to second graders at lunch.

Raising awareness reveals the ugly face of bullying, as well as shows students how to help other, said fifth grader Faith Guerin.

Bystanders stand by and watch bullies, said Steinfeld, but students need to stand up and say it is wrong.

For example, said Guerin, it is wrong to make fun of someone because their skin color is different or they have a disability.

Gabby Dumas, also a fifth grader at Mooers Elementary School, agreed. She notices that bullies seem to go after the “weakest link.”

“It is important to get rid of bullying because we want to have a safe school for other kids,” Dumas said.

News In Brief cation.

The vacancy for that five-year seat on the Board for July 1 forward is caused by the expiration of the five-year term of Mr. Roderick Driscoll.

Petitions are available in the District Office, Monday through Friday or via the Web at www.Qerucsd.org. Petitions must be returned no later than April 16, to the District Office by 5 p.m.

The annual election for the Board of Education is slated for Tuesday, May 15, 2012, from noon through 9 p.m. in the high school gymnasium.

For more information call Peru Central School District Clerk, Sherri Provost, at 6436002.

By Stephen Bartlett johng@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — International students have got a thing for Plattsburgh State.

In fact, in terms of overall satisfaction, the college is number one in the United States in one ranking and number two in the world in another.

“These results once again confirm what we already know: Our faculty and staff work hard to provide exceptional educational experience to international students – and to all students,” said Plattsburgh State President John Ettling.

According to the Fall 2011 International Student Barometer, Plattsburgh State ranks number 1 out of the 18 participating universities in the United States and number 2 out of the 208 in the world for overall satisfaction. Last year, Plattsburgh State ranked number 1 out of 13 for overall satisfaction in the United States and number 3 out of 203 in the world.

“The International Student Barometer results show that these efforts do not go unnoticed,” Ettling said.

Plattsburgh State also ranked number 1 in the United States and world for learning support and performance feedback, ability to make friends, housing conditions and Office of International Student Services.

Other top rankings included visa advice, satisfaction with arrival and overall learning satisfaction.

“SUNY is dedicated to providing a friendly learning environment for all of our students, and it is no surprise that SUNY Plattsburgh’s own international students have recognized the campus as world class,” said Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “SUNY Plattsburgh continues to serve SUNY’s commitment to globalization and sets an example for colleges and universities across the nation.”

The International Student Barometer is the world’s largest international student survey, tracking decision-making, expectations, perceptions and experiences of international students.

The current survey collected input from 209,422 international students at 238 institutions in 16 countries.

Schools participating in the survey, from America and overseas, included Oxford, Edinburgh University, St. Andrews University,

George Washington University, Kent State University, Drexel University, and Northeastern University.

Ettling stressed he was proud of the work done by the Office of International Student Services.

“They create a warm welcome for our students and generate friends around the world.”

Jackie Girard Vogl, who oversees the efforts of that office, was humbled by the rankings.

“Satisfaction is achieved when someone’s experience with a product or service matches or exceeds their expectations,” Vogl said.

“The staff in International Student Services at SUNY Plattsburgh interacts frequently and honestly with prospective students and their families in order to be sure that they have enough information to make an informed decision about enrollment. International students expect that the college will provide an exceptional living and learning environment, and we do, thanks to the efforts of the entire community.”

Vogl was recently invited to serve as an expert in a strategic planning retreat sponsored by NAFSA, the world’s largest nonprofit professional association dedicated to international education. She’ll focus on strategic planning around preparation and services leading to retention and graduation.

“I have happily shared ideas about developing a student-centered international student office, an engaging orientation program and a responsive admissions process,” Vogl said. “But what makes all the difference is the people in my office and throughout campus who are passionate about their work and devoted to student success.”

The survey also indicated areas that need improvement.

The university would benefit by diversifying its food selections, and offering more financial assistance, transportation and worship services.

Plattsburgh has one of the largest international student populations per capita of any comprehensive college in the State University of New York system, with 361 students coming from countries such as Canada, Antigua, the People’s Republic of China, Egypt, Japan, Kazakhstan, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, Tanzania and India.

Spirit Airlines from page 1 Douglas. “This reflects their success in this market to date, as well as a commitment to work with us to meet the additional demand for Myrtle Beach service that is now in play following the loss of DirectAir.” DirectAir announced last month it was postponing service and then filed for bankruptcy protection as the company sought to reorganize. It became clear that the company was mired in debt, and an investigation is underway into how company officials handled an escrow account.

A judge recently ordered that DirectAir liquidate its assets.

Upon learning of DirectAir ’s situation, the Chamber of Commerce and Clinton County reached out to Spirit Airlines to encourage additional service.

Douglas said with the numbers provided, Spirit is “grasping the opportunity and helping to insure that we can continue to meet the demand for access to this popular destination.”

The Chamber and county also continue to encourage new service from Plattsburgh to Punta Gorda, which was successfully served

by DirectAir. “We have made the case to at least four carriers for their consideration and will be making a couple of visits in the next few weeks,” Douglas said.

Plattsburgh International Airport will still lose roughly 14,000 enplanements during April.

To celebrate its Myrtle Beach summer seasonal service, Spirit is offering fares from $28.79 from Myrtle Beach to/from Washington, DC; Plattsburgh; Niagara Falls; and Fort Lauderdale.

“We're pleased Spirit has decided to pick up these routes during the Myrtle Beach area's busy summer travel season,” said Brad Dean, President and CEO of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce/CVB. “Access to affordable air service into the Myrtle Beach area is crucial to building our tourism economy, and Spirit is able to provide that to visitors wishing to travel here.”

Spirit Airlines, an ultra low-cost carrier that operates throughout America and is headquartered in Miami, Florida, recently apologized and pulled an ad that spoofed the Secret Service prostitution scandal. It featured women in bikinis and heels standing near a message that read “More Bang For Your Buck: Upfront Payment is Required.” It also featured a man in a black suit, shades and earpiece with his finger over his lips.

Recently, a group of Secret Service agents allegedly spent time with prostitutes and refused to pay one, drinking whiskey at a brothel and bragging about working for President Obama.

In the past, Spirit Airlines has used marketing inspired by the Anthony Weiner scandal and BP oil spill, among others.
