stephen@denpubs.com PERU — It started with a flier, as Tristan Jeskanen’s father signed him up for a slider search. Today, the journey is far from over, with the 16-yearold excelling at luge and chasing Olympic dreams. He’s training hard, homeschooled now, and must raise a significant amount of money to continue down his path. But Jeskanen is not giving up, because he says, “I know I can do it.” At 13, he didn’t know what to expect when he participated in the slider search at Clinton Community College in 2009. “But I always liked to try

A 74 year old man was struck and killed by a train in the City of Plattsburgh Sept. 28. The train blocked traffic at crossings at Margaret Street, Riley Avenue and Boynton Avenue for several hours as police collected evidence and interviewed witnesses.
