Clinton County GOP sees leadership change

By Pete DeMola • EDITOR •

Clark Currier will succeed Don McBrayer as county chairman

PERU | Clinton County Republicans have a new leader: Committee Chair Donald McBrayer is stepping down and will be succeeded by Clark

Currier, former Saranac Town Chair and sergeant at arms for the county committee.

Currier was unanimously selected by the committee on Sept. 20.

McBrayer, who has served for three years, is moving to Arizona with his wife, Kara, who has been offered a teaching position.

The couple will continue to reside in Peru during the summer.

McBrayer called the handover “a nice clean exit ramp.”

“I’m going to be gone for larger and larger blocks of time,” McBrayer told The Sun. McBrayer also served one term as a Town of Peru councilman.

The outgoing chair cited the creation of a Facebook page and website, as well as bolstering the committee’s presence at the Clinton County Fair, as highlights of his tenure.

From an electoral standpoint, he counted his work helping to get state and local candidates elected, including state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) and former state As-

“I really enjoyed working with many candidates over the years, including Elise Stefanik,” McBrayer said, noting the committee was an early supporter of the federal lawmaker’s first run for office in 2013.

Public gets rare glimpse of state police’s K-9 unit in action Light-hearted demonstration wows crowd of hundreds

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

RAY BROOK | Dogs are man’s best friend.

They’re also deft crimefighters.

A live demonstration by the New York State Police’s Troop B K-9 Unit was a smash-hit on Saturday, regaling hundreds of visitors with a rare look at their abilities at the troop’s open house.

Crowds cooed at the demonstration of bloodhounds, bomb-sniffers and narcotic detection dogs.

“We’re one of the largest K-9 units in the country,” said Trooper Matt Carniglia, a K-9 expert. “And we’re one of the most productive and efficient units in the country.”

The unit was formed in the mid-1970s to detect explo-

sives at the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid.

A team of just two canines has grown to its current strength about 90.

Once donated by local residents, the Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Labrador retrievers and bloodhounds are purchased from Europe and cost a minimum of $5,000.

Carniglia likened them to Apple products.

“No viruses,” he said.

Each are highly specialized.

“We have radically different guys who do radically dif-

ferent things,” Carniglia said.

Trooper Shannon Saunders demonstrated basic obedience skills with PJ, who is three.

PJ constantly looked at his handler: “What’s next bud?” said Carniglia as PJ stayed hyperattentive to Saunders and his commands.

Shay has been trained as a search dog.

Detection of drugs, bombs and ammunition are their “bread and butter,” and their reaction is different when each is discovered.

Trooper Nathan D’Arienzo led Shay around a van, where » K-9 Cont. on pg. 3

Comradery, elite units on display at state police open house Day-long event saw law enforcement pull back curtain on aviation, special response and K-9 units

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

RAY BROOK | New York State Police Troop B headquarters buzzed with activity Saturday as hundreds flocked to an open house designed to commemorate the state police’s centennial anniversary.

Turning 100 is no small feat, and the law enforcement agency spared no expense: Visitors got an extensive look behind the curtain through dozens of exhibitions and demonstrations.

Under cloudless skies and sizzling heat, the “Black Horse Troop’s” trademark black horses roamed the perimeter.

Helicopters buzzed overhead to demonstrate rescue missions. A chopper hovered low over an administrative building and a pair of camouflage-clad troopers quickly rappelled down a cable.

The helicopter circled back around, and a dummy was hoisted up.

Nearby, a scuba diver immersed in a tank waved at passersby and a group of elite troopers demonstrated defense tactics.

But the most popular event was the K-9 demonstrations. A crowd of at least 300 gathered for the first of two scheduled exhibitions — including by the team who tracked down the pair of convicted murderers who escaped from Dannemora in 2015, leading authorities on a 23-day manhunt.

Officials estimated 1,500 attended.

“It’s really reflective of the fact that we got so much support from the people locally and that our guys and gals are so involved in the community, that they’re actually willing to come out and support us when we support them,” said Troop B Commander Major John Tibbitts, Jr. It’s the same level of support represented

in the manhunt, he said.

“Plus we don’t get a chance to show off a lot of the things we do or how we do it,” Tibbitts said, “and this is just a nice way to put everything we do together in one spot and one day so you can actually see everything we’ve got to offer.”

Getting up close to aviation units and Special Operations Response Team (SORT) in particular, Tibbitts said, is rare for the public.

“When we get SORT involved, what’s the first thing we do? ‘Everybody move back,’” Tibbitts said. “Today it’s in a safe environment. You can see exactly what they do, only there’s no threat to them.”

The exhibitions were joined by historical exhibits and a “Wall of Honor” commemorating fallen troopers.

Vintage cruisers and motorcycles dating back to the 1940s were on display, including a 1966 Harley Davidson.

Matt Mayville of Bloomingdale is the head custodian at Saranac Lake Central School District. The state police has often held training drills at the school, and he’s gotten to know many law enforcement officials over the years.

He peered at a showcase of vintage firearms, including a Thompson submachine gun.

“I’m just interested in seeing the old guns they used,” Mayville said.

Visitors also had the opportunity to speak with the Collision Reconstruction Unit and tour the facility’s forensics complex, where investigators detailed practices like fingerprinting, dusting for gunpowder residue, bullet trajectory, blood spatter analysis and the exhumation of human remains.

Investigator Matt Rozler walked a reporter through some of the troop’s most high-profile cases, including the disappearance of June Collard, the Minerva woman who vanished in 1980.

The Forensics Investigations Unit doggedly pursued the case, and a tip in 2010 eventually led investigators to apprehend her husband in Alabama, who confessed to killing her and burying her remains on their property.

In another case, an informant tipped the unit

» K-9 Cont. from pg. 2 he quickly zeroed in on contraband and alerted him by pawing at the door in what’s known as an “aggressive alert.”

Bomb detection, on the other hand, requires a more “passive alert.” Shay immediately detected a suspicious item — a cooler — in a line of paint cans and lay prone.

Handlers then deployed a remote-controlled robot, which moved the cooler out of harm’s way.

A heavily-armored bomb expert ventured towards the item (“It’s the job no one wants,” quipped Carniglia) and opened the cooler, which revealed a teddy bear, which he gave to a young audience member.

The crowd of about 300 delighted at the canines, who obediently waited with their handlers for their turn in the spotlight.

Perhaps the most high-profile members of the unit are the bloodhounds that played a leading role in tracking down a pair of escaped murderers from Clinton Correctional Facility in 2015.

The K-9 unit had just two bloodhound teams ahead of the escape, a specialized unit that is now doubled to four.

Trooper Mike Phelps said Stanley, aged 16 months, is well-trained to detect human scent and track older trails.

off to the location of a body in the Massena area.

Investigators dug through the snow-covered, frozen ground and the suspect was convicted and sent to prison for the crime.

“With that kind of information, we just can’t wait,” Rezler said.

BROTHERS IN BLUE

The day-long event was also an opportunity for law enforcement officials to connect with their colleagues, and the comradery was on full display as what appeared to be hundreds of law enforcement officials and their families mingled with one another.

Tibbitts estimated seven of 25 of the troop’s commanders were on site.

Troop Commander John Lawless (Ret.) said he was pleased with the turnout.

“It brings awareness to what we’re doing in the North Country,” Lawless said. “It shows the communities support us. It’s very important to have public support.”

Lawless ran into a former colleague he hadn’t seen in 40 years.

“He’s the most lovable dog I’ve ever met,” said Phelps.

“And he’s tracking to get a hug at the end.”

Others are trained specifically for subduing suspects — including biting if necessary.

Their jaws are strong enough to blow up car tires.

Trainers once used bite sleeves, which ultimately led to the dogs fixating on them.

But, as Carniglia pointed out, “Bad guys don’t wear bite sleeves.”

At one point, a heckler in grungy-looking clothes interrupted the troopers. The handlers told him to leave, and the heckler caused a spectacle on his way out.

He engaged in threatening behavior; the dogs sprung to action and the man — who turned out to be a plant — was cowering within seconds.

“No bite handler wants to see their dog hurt anyone,” said Carniglia.

Trainers prefer purchasing canines under the age of 1 to avoid having to break bad habits.

To pay homage to troopers killed in the line of duty, each of the canines are named after fallen lawman: Stanley, for instance, was named for Trooper Stanley C. Greene, who

“So happy to see older retired folks,” he said.

Trooper Jim Williams (Ret.) spent his career stationed in Wilmington, and was happy to be back.

“We see all the guys we can,” Williams said.

“It’s a real good organization in retirement.”

Trooper David Blades (Ret.) strolled the grounds.

“They did a real good job,” Blades said, referring to the displays and exhibits.

Trooper Rex Reynolds, who is on active duty and based in Ogdensburg, said the situation can often be tense when regular folks interact with law enforcement, and it’s important to facilitate these types of events to forge a connection with the public.

“We promote our professionalism and what we’re all about,” Reynolds said. ■ COVER: Visitors view the Wall of Honor at the New York State Police Troop B headquarters in Ray Brook, New York. Over 1,500 attended the centennial open house on Saturday, Sept. 24. .

died in a motorcycle accident in the 1930s.

Training, held at the Basic Handler School in Cooperstown, takes about 10 weeks for the canines and six months for handlers.

All have the battle scars to prove it, said Carniglia, including a recent incident that left a handler with 14 stitches.

While the canines live with their handlers, life outside of work is austere and secluded because the state police want all affection and love associated with the job.

“And that makes them crazy to work,” said Carniglia.

After a long career catching bad guys, the canines are retired at eight, and have an easier retirement — including engaging simple pleasures like Frisbee.

“They’re with us until the day they die.” ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

National discourse Political rancor continues to invade nearly every facet of life.

This past weekend the NFL jumped headBy Dan Alexander long into the fracas • PUBLISHER • after President Donald Trump decided to call out the players protesting during the playing of the national anthem.

Instead of seeing the protests quelled, owners, coaches, and the league opted to join the few protesting players by showing solidarity with the players. Some teams stood arm in arm. Three teams decided not to come out on the field until after the playing of the anthem.

The National Anthem has been a fixture at America’s sporting events since 1862. What was once thought of as a unifying tune that served to bring the country together has now been put in a position to further divide the sides.

I fear America has suffered a social breakdown, much like an insane person who argues with themselves back and forth never finding peace or rest.

Without serious medical help, the patient most times cannot recover on their own and continues to regress into deeper and deeper stages.

We’ve seen bitter political battles and gridlock before. Protests are nothing new.

Heck, we gave birth to the nation out of a protest which is what the anthem is all about.

But this constant fighting is spilling out and it’s far too deeply rooted to think this is just a phase we are going through.

When our entertainment, sporting events, theater, schools, fashion, social media and even the church pulpits can’t function without politicizing their craft where do we turn for peace and comfort?

Boycotts, shaming, shunning, violence, destruction and legal battles I fear are only the beginning if we can’t find common ground.

We’re spending millions trying to determine if Russia interfered with our election and worrying about North Korea and Iran with nukes when we can’t even put aside our differences for a few hours to watch athletic millionaires concuss each other.

The entire situation has me torn to pieces. One minute I want to cry for our country and the next I want to laugh at how foolish all this has become.

At this point, I’m not sure if I’m writing a humorous column or a serious column.

In the end, I guess it really doesn’t matter. If we can’t get along and we can’t agree to disagree are we locked in a perpetual state of psychosis? Doctor Phil, we need help! ■

From the Editorial Board Country should resist taking hyper-partisan bait We’re whipsawing from one crisis to another, whether it’s an escalation of tensions with North Korea, the threat of large-scale deportation of young immigrants to ongoing skirmishes over healthcare and flirtations with an all-out race war.

It really does seem like we’ve descended into an unhealthy sense of tribalism with no end in sight.

Americans haven’t only retreated into their partisan corners, but they’ve painted themselves in.

It’s evident the country is increasingly being carved into two distinct tribal war zones, each with their own value systems that they are led to believe are mutually incompatible with one another.

In a sense, as U.S. Senator Ben Sasse, Republican from Nebraska, pointed out over the weekend, this is divisiveness by design.

Andrew Sullivan wrote about this tribalism at length last week in an essay for New York magazine, “America Wasn’t Built for Humans,” arguing that this division has become our nation’s greatest vulnerability.

Regardless of how you feel about the current occupant of the Oval Office, evidence is mounting that his combative style is having a

measurable impact on not only crystallizing a sense of entrenched partisanship, but how we view each other outside of a political lens: “And so by 2017, 41 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of Democrats said they disagreed not just with their opponents’ political views, but with their values and goals beyond politics as well,” Sullivan wrote.

Just think about how dangerous it is to ascribe different values to those to which you disagree with politically: We should be able to debate our respective policies on health care, tax reform and foreign relations without being accused of un-American, for instance.

A poll by Monmouth University, Sullivan noted, revealed 61 percent of President Trump’s supporters say there’s nothing he could do to make them change their minds about him.

Fifty-seven percent of his opponents said the same thing.

This partisan entrenchment is given flight by the concept of “whataboutism,” which the Washington Post defined as “the practice of short-circuiting an argument by asserting moral equivalency between two things that aren’t necessarily comparable.”

Our prisons are no better

Of course Margaret is right (“Newcomers to the North Country?” published in the Sept. 23 edition). However, our prisons were no better. The cause of that war has been debated for many years and focuses on “self determination” and “slavery.” I think maybe Margaret should comment on the secession of California as some of the liberal extremists are trying nowadays. Does arguing against the secession classify as saving America?

many colleges and private schools. Further, of the 200 students, 25 come from other school districts and pay only $1,500 to Bolton.

I recommend instead that the Bolton School District combine with the Lake George School District. Keep the Bolton facility as an elementary school with grades K through 8 and have grades 9 through 12 go to Lake George High School.

As it is now, Bolton combines with several other schools in sports because it has insufficient numbers for many team sports.

Bolton currently has a superintendent, a principal, 32 teachers, eight semi-teachers, guidance, etc.

With an enrollment of 200, this amounts to one teacher per five students. Actual class sizes vary from 10 to 20 per teacher.

Classes 9 through 12 have a total of 61 students. They could easily be handled at Lake George High School and eliminate the need for a new auditorium/music facility ($6.7 million) plus reduce the annual $8 million budget by eliminating the superintendent and several teachers.

In any case, I urge the voters to again reject the auditorium, music facility addition.

this and he said that.

The Cold War era tactic is “having a moment,” the newspaper reported.

It is a tactic some us have seen firsthand in China. While the nation is still shedding its Communist trappings, it remains authoritarian to its core, and this sense of “whataboutism” is used to undermine confidence in western values, including multiculturalism, freedom of speech and democracy.

To see that strategy being deployed in the U.S. is extremely disheartening.

This senseless refrain has, in fact, infected our entire body politic.

Not even professional sports, as we learned over the weekend, is immune from this toxicity.

It’s a nihilistic trainwreck amplified by around-the-clock cable news coverage, social media and our growing preference for seeking news from media outlets that reaffirm and reinforce our worldview.

“Resist” may be a buzzword for the left.

But it should also serve as reminder for all of us not to get sucked into the stench of contemporary U.S. politics, and that we’re being led by the nose by forces eager to exploit our penchant for decisiveness and use it to their own advantage. ■

Top cop recalls Dannemora manhunt in new memoir “Relentless Pursuit” details little-known facts of command center, says Major Charles Guess

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

RAY BROOK | Just two years after a pair of convicted killers broke out of Clinton Correctional in a sophisticated escape plot, interest in the caper is surging.

Over 1,000 people auditioned for bit parts in “Escape from Dannemora,” the Ben Stillerhelmed Showtime documentary series that’s filming now in Plattsburgh and Dannemora.

Accomplice Joyce Mitchell continues to garner headlines every time she’s up for parole, including just three weeks ago.

Now, the law enforcement official in charge of the manhunt has written a book detailing the hunt for David Sweat and Richard Matt.

New York State Police Major Charles Guess planned a quiet retirement when he signed off in 2016.

“I hadn’t really contemplated writing this book,” he told The Sun. “Frankly, it was my wife Eleanor who said to me, realistically, if you don’t write the book, somebody will.

And you’re probably going to buy it and say, ‘It really didn’t happen that way.’”

Sweat and Matt used smuggled tools to burrow through their cellblock, eventually emerging through a manhole outside of the maximum security prison. They alluded capture for 23 days before Matt was fatally shot by a federal agent and Sweat was captured two days later.

Guess said there’s some misinformation about the event that placed northern New York squarely in the international spotlight for three weeks.

“So from my point of view, I wanted to get some form of comprehensive record established that accurately portrayed the efforts of law enforcement, folks in the community, and speak specifically to the 23 days that we all suffered through in June of 2015,” Guess said.

The result is “Relentless Pursuit: Inside the Escape from Dannemora: New York’s Largest Manhunt,” which is out now via Indianapolisbased publisher Dog Ear Publishing.

Guess, 56, said the details underpinning the death of Matt and the takedown of Sweat near the Canadian border by Trooper Jay Cook are well-known.

But much of the unknown internal workings of the command post — including the Border Patrol Tactical Unit — are explored in the book for the first time.

The major, who took command of Troop B just months before the manhunt and retired a year afterwards, also said he wanted to explore » Briefs Cont. from pg. 4 Clinton County Suffrage Story” on Oct. 5 at 4 p.m. at the Lake Forest Senior Living Community. For more information, call 518-5610340 or visit clintoncountyhistorical.org. ■

Senior trip slated Oct. 12

PLATTSBURGH | The Town of Plattsburgh Parks & Recreation Department is sponsoring a senior trip to Proctors Theatre in Schenectady on Oct. 12. The bus will leave Hobby Lobby’s parking lot at 9 a.m. and return at 8 p.m. Cost is $70. RSVP and payment is required by Oct. 2. For more information, call 518-562-6860. ■

Local Army National Guards get promotions

LATHAM | Major General Anthony P. German, the adjutant general for the State of New York, announced the promotion of members of the New York Army National Guard. Promotions were given to Lance Hackett of Saranac, Sybil Baker of Champlain and Hunter Gomez, Paris Gurdon and Mitchel Tyler of Plattsburgh. ■

other aspects of his career.

Those include the Sept. 11 attacks, the TWA Flight 800 aircraft crash and the search of Ralph “Bucky” Phillips, a career criminal who escaped from a western New York jail and shot three state troopers — one fatally — before he was captured five months later.

Those experiences helped prepare him to take on the challenge of a lifetime.

Guess said he’s serving as a technical advisor on “Escape from Dannemora.”

“I’m pleasantly surprised with director Ben Stiller and his key staff members in their desire to portray this from a position of authenticity, reality and sensitivity,” he said.

The affection is mutual: Stiller plugged “Relentless” on Twitter last week: “Loving working with Maj. Charles Guess on #EscapeFromDannamora,” Stiller wrote.

“He led the manhunt & his book relentlesspursuittrooper.com is the best account.”

Guess also has a cameo in the mini-series.

Two prison employees were arrested in conjunction with the escape: Mitchell, who is serving seven years on a contraband charge, and Gene Palmer, a corrections officer who served four months in county jail after admitting to smuggling the inmates tools they used to escape the facility in a block of frozen hamburger meat provided by Mitchell.

The breakout remains a raw subject in the community and Guess hopes the film can serve as a redemption for those who helped capture the duo, as well as cast law enforcement in a favorable light.

“A segment of the population — corrections, for example — has been painted with a broad brush, unfairly I think,” Guess said. “In any organization when you have 30,000-plus people, and a handful of them are responsible for some of the misdeeds that were related to the escape,

From the Mayor

the rest of them are outstanding professionals and clearly contributed to apprehending those folks.”

BROTHERS IN GRAY

Guess spoke to a reporter as he signed copies of the book at Troop B’s open house in Ray Brook on Saturday.

Many of those waiting in line for autographed copies and photos were fellow members of law enforcement, and conversation was spiked with nostalgia as attendees swapped war stories from the manhunt.

A lieutenant with the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision who asked for anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly said he hoped the public would learn “a lot of positive changes resulted in what happened.”

Greg Phillips, a retired corrections officer, lives in Mountain View, which became the epicenter of the search during the final days.

“It’ll be interesting to read to see the truth and not the lies,” said Phillips, who called Guess “a very impressive man.”

Collette LeDuc of Malone had retired as a long-time civilian state police employee before the escape.

LeDuc vividly recalled the flurry of squad cars rushing by when Sweat was shot in nearby Constable, New York — but was out of the loop.

“I just want to read to see behind the scenes,” LeDuc said.

Thom Thorne of Malone clutched two copies of the book.

Both of his parents worked in law enforcement, he said, and he has a deep respect for the state police.

“It was a really professional job,” Thorne said of the manhunt.

Don’t be fooled by bogus claims.

The comparison between The SUN’s United States Postal Service circulation and what others may tell you or imply is like comparing a watermelon to a grape!!

We hear from customers on occasion, “X-Publication Rep says you SUN folks are full of it with your distribution numbers.” Then we show them the third party, proven facts.

Frankly, we just love to compare the real, verifiable numbers, because when we do, the competition simply shrinks like a raisin!

We are so confident in our weekly circulation facts, we’ll give $1,000 to any local charity for any other print media who can prove their weekly circulation comes even close to how many homes The SUN reaches in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Warren Counties.

Time for a new paradigm Centuries ago, economists subscribed to the Labor Theory of Value. ConBy Colin Read sistent with that • COLUMNIST • theory, America uniquely chose to have employers bear the brunt of health care.

It’s time to revamp both these concepts.

Value was once created by workers. Even intermediate factors used to produce something were made by people. Hence labor costs once represented most of a product’s price.

While we were a nation of laborers, our biggest businesses now produce in different and increasingly laborless ways.

None of the five biggest companies in our country even existed just two generations ago.

And, if these companies produce tangible products that we can hold in our hands, only a small fraction of the cost of these products are hard costs that obviously represent the labor of people.

The rest of production costs go to intellectual products and the pockets of owners of robots and automation that produce tangible products.

The average Google worker produces more than $1 million of production value per year for the company, and $10 million of stock market value. Yet these workers extract perhaps a tenth of the revenue they create.

The vast majority of revenue now flows to owners of automation and corporate intellectual capital. This new model of 21st century production is revolutionary in its incredible productivity and concentration of wealth away from those who toil to produce the products we buy.

Our ability to create incredible value with fewer workers is both a revolutionary innovation and an overwhelming challenge.

If we as workers increasingly represent a declining share of the value of the products we create, from where will the income come to purchase products, and how will employee-based benefits be provided?

Young mega-billionaires who own Facebook and Google won’t replace the missing buying power to purchase the products they produce.

Meanwhile, cities and states are being bankrupted as they try to maintain long term healthcare benefits they’ve pledged to their retiring employees. There’s a growing disconnect between our economic responsibilities and our ability to cover them.

Our nation remains unique in that employers still bear the full brunt of workers’ health care costs. More robots and automation, and fewer workers means less access to health care. Who’s gonna pay to keep us healthy as we march toward a laborless society?

We’d best think this through.

There’s no time for rhetoric. Wealth is rising rapidly, but solid healthcare solutions remain elusive.​■

Peru woman in ICU after dog attack Loretta Timmons underwent five hours of reconstructive surgery, remains in ICU

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PERU | A local woman was hospitalized and is in intensive care after suffering what family members described as “major facial trauma” as a result of a bulldog attack last Friday.

Loretta Timmons was checking her mail outside of her Union Road residence when her neighbor’s dogs ran across the road and “violently attacked her,” said her family in a statement.

A state Department of Transportation employee, Deanna Quinn-Rotella, was driving by at the time and staved off the attack.

Timmons, 81, was transported to UVMChamplain Valley Physicians Hospital in Plattsburgh before being airlifted to UVM-Fletcher Allen Medical Center in Burlington, where she underwent five hours of reconstructive surgery.

“At this point, the surgery was more successful than what we could have hoped for,” the family said in a statement on Tuesday. “She is talking and will hopefully be moved out of ICU today.”

Town officials discussed the attack at their

town board meeting on Monday.

State police identif ied the owner as Michael V. James.

Peru Dog Control Officer Dave Drollette said at least one of the dogs had a history of biting humans, but did not offer any additional details.

Town Supervisor Peter Glusko said the town hadn’t received reports about the dog before. He told The Sun on Tuesday that the dog was unlicensed.

The dog owner voluntarily had the American bulldog euthanized, Glushko said.

The other two dogs, both Boxers, remained under quarantine by order of the Peru Dog Control Officer, according to the state police.

Drollette told the supervisor that he would be issuing a number of tickets to the owner.

But he declined to further discuss the incident with a reporter, citing an appearance in court scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, after this edition went to print.

“I’m not going to talk about it,” he said.

Glushko said he believed the tickets were related to the owner’s failure to license the dog and the dogs running at large and harming a person, though he couldn’t verify the details.

“I’m not at liberty to say because the trial stuff is starting today,” he said.

A person who answered the phone at the

Peru Town Court on Tuesday declined to discuss details, citing a lack of information.

‘OUR FAMILY’S HERO’

Timmons’ family praised Quinn-Rotella’s actions.

“I don’t know what we would’ve done if she hadn’t been driving by,” said her son, Robert Timmons, who serves as a county legislator.

“We are confident our mother is here with us today because of her heroic actions,” he said.

“Deanna has told us she did what anybody would do but we feel she went above and beyond and will forever be our family’s hero.”

The family also praised the Peru and Keeseville Fire Departments and their emergency medical technicians who responded quickly to the incident, as well as CVPH and Fletcher Allen for “the exceptional care being given to our mother. Because of their efforts, her condition improves every day.”

BUILDING A PLAN

The incident has sparked discussion over future protocol for dangerous canines.

“If a dog is designated dangerous, where do we take it?” Glushko asked. “We don’t want this to ever happen, but it does.”

The town currently has a contract with Elmore SPCA, but it’s against their policy to take dangerous dogs, he said.

According to the New York State Bar Association, a “dangerous dog” is defined as any dog that without justification attacks a person or domestic animal and causes physical injury or death, or behaves in a manner that a “reasonable person” would believe poses a serious and unjustified imminent threat of serious physical injury or death.

Elmore SPCA Shelter Manager Rebecca Burdo said the shelter does take “dangerous dogs” on a per case basis. “(The dogs) can be housed in a municipal shelter, home or a private shelter like ours,” she said. “But we can’t take in dogs we can’t humanely house.”

In this situation, they were told that the dog was “human aggressive,” she said, which effected the shelter’s ability to house the canine.

Glushko said that the town would be reaching out to North Country SPCA, an Elizabethtown, Essex County shelter, to learn about whether they could house dogs deemed dangerous in the future.

The State Police in Plattsburgh are requesting anyone who may have witnessed the attack, or anyone with prior knowledge of any incidents involving these dogs to contact Investigator Matthew C. Dandrow, State Police – Plattsburgh, at 518-563-3761. ■

Area youth coaches to engage in suicide prevention campaign “You don’t have to be a mental health professional” to help prevent suicide, speaker says

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The Clinton County Youth Bureau will sponsor “suicideTALK,” a program that aims to teach area sports coaches how to recognize and address children contemplating suicide, on Oct. 4.

If properly trained, coaches have a great opportunity to act as a support system for kids under their purview.

That’s according to Bonnie Black, who serves as the director of employee assistance services at Behavioral Health Services North and co-chair of the Clinton County Coalition for the Prevention of Suicide.

“What we’re going to explore is the need for suicide prevention,” she said, of the event’s agenda. “We all must become comfortable, once someone finds a child that has early symptoms, to ask the question: ‘Are you going to kill yourself?’

“By extending that conversation, we can listen, we can hear and we can guide,” she said. “Anyone can. You don’t have to be a mental health professional.”

According to the New York state Department of Health, between 2012-14, two people in Clinton County aged 15-19 years old died by suicide.

Over 190 young people died statewide during the same period.

“Although the training is being offered to folks because they coach youth sports, most of our coaches are also a mom or dad, brother or sister, child or friend,” said Clinton County Youth Bureau Supervisor Kim Crockett in an email to The Sun. “The information they learn from the training could be of benefit in many aspects of their life.”

Black said that oftentimes children feel comfortable opening up to their coach, which presents a unique opportunity for those in that position in a child’s life.

“Coaches... they’re one of those ‘safe’ adults that young people feel comfortable with,” she said. “Because of that connection, that’s a wonderful opportunity. And coach can be a

wonderful support system for a young person.”

“My hope is that coaches will take advantage of this valuable opportunity to help create a whole community that’s safer from suicide,” said Crockett, in an email.

There’s still a stigma surrounding suicide, both in the local community and globally, Black said.

But according to Black, among young people, ages 10 to 20, suicide is the second leading cause of death.

“We each must be responsible for doing something about it.”

In addition to the Oct. 4 program, from 6-7 p.m. at the Town of Plattsburgh offices, Black will lead two more courses on Sept. 22 and Oct. 9. For more information on those events, visit mentalhealthfirstaid.org. ■

Scholar to discuss religion, politics at SUNY Plattsburgh Upcoming lecture will tackle spiritual trends on Oct. 4

tainly turning young people off: “Part of it is the connection that’s turned some kids off of religion,” he said, referencing the perceived connection between Christianity and the alt-right.

“We hope that many will find her lecture very fascinating and engaging. I think people would be very excited to hear what she has to say.”

Butler Bass’ lecture, “Faith in the News,” is slated for Oct. 4, 7:30 p.m., at the Newman Center at 90 Broad Street. Tickets are free. ■

PLATTSBURGH | The intricacies of religion, current events and how both intertwine will be the focus of an upcoming lecture on campus at SUNY Plattsburgh next week.

This year’s Cron Lecture at the Newman Center will feature a speech from award-winning author Dr. Diana Butler Bass on Oct. 4.

Butler Bass’ lecture, “Faith in the News,” is expected to explore some of the biggest faith-related stories of the last few years, according to a SUNY Plattsburgh news release.

“In this lecture, (Butler Bass) will speak about marginaliza-

tion and fear in Muslim communities, the decline of Evangelical Christians and their continued support of (President Donald) Trump; the Roman Catholic sisters’ witness to justice issues and the reemergence of a vibrant religious left,” said the release.

When looking to book someone for this year’s event, Campus Minister Rev. Philip Richards said that organizers hoped to bring someone who could speak about topical issues surrounding faith.

“We thought this would be excellent,” he said.

Author of the best-selling novel “Christianity for the Rest of Us: How the Neighborhood Church is Transforming the Faith,” Butler Bass is a writer for The Huffington Post and The Washington Post, as well as a contributing editor for Sojourners Magazine.

When asked if he had heard of any students on campus afraid to showcase their religion for fear of being stereotyped through political connotations, Richards said he had not.

But the political connection to certain religions is cer-

NAC ENDING ANOTHER STREAK

The Northern Adirondack varsity volleyball team ended a drought when it came to games last week. This week, their match losing streak also came to an end.

Against Lake Placid Monday, the Bobcats won the first two games before being forced to a fifth against Lake Placid, where they outscored the Blue Bombers 25-17 to win their first CVAC match.

Britt Gilmore kept the ball bouncing for the Bobcats, with 17 digs on the defensive end and nine aces to go with four kills on offense. Chloe Smith had eight aces, while also registering a quartet of kills.

The win pushed the Bobcats one game ahead of Northeastern Clinton, who entered the week with a 3-0 loss to Peru prior to the Cougars and Bobcats getting together for the first half finale.

Katera Poupore had five assists for the Cougars, while Sydney Hunter had eight digs on defense.

CLASS D SHOWDOWN

The Chazy varsity boy’s soccer team took control of both Division II and Class D standings this week, scoring a 3-0 win over Seton Catholic and a 4-0 over Keene on back-to-back days.

Josh McCauley, Bryan McAfee, Nathan Trombly and Tristan Conners all scored for the Eagles against Keene, handing the Beavers their first loss of the season. McCauley was joined by Heath Lucas and Hayden King in scoring goals against Seton Catholic, handing them their first loss in Division II for the season.

The Chazy girls are holding at second place in the Division II standings behind Northern Adirondack, but have recorded wins over all other Class D teams they have played this season, opening the second half with a 4-1 win over Lake Placid with Natalie Pombrio scoring twice and assisting on goals by Lydia West and Olivia McLennon.

NCCS RECAP

The Cougars scored a 2-0 win against AuSable Valley to end the first half of the Division I soccer season, as Rylee Hollister scored both goals on assists from Landon Coulombe and Lucas Bedard, sitting two points behind PHS and Peru.

The Lady Cougars received a goal from Marlie Sample as they suffered a 4-1 in Saranac. The Cougars cross country teams were one of the teams scheduled to run Sept. 25, but unable to because of the extreme heat.

Northeastern Clinton’s Rylee Hollister goes for the ball against Seton Catholic’s Alex Sharon earlier this season.

Villemaire nets 100 Beekmantown star could challenge sectional mark

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

BEEKMANTOWN | Kirsten Villemaire has been the premier offensive force in Section VII for the past three years.

Villemaire scored her 100th career goal at home last week, her 24th of the season.

“There were a lot of nerves and I wanted to get it done at home,” Villemaire said. “It was homecoming week and I just wanted it to be at home.”

It was not an easy task, as Villemaire had to score four goals in the game after Plattsburgh High had held her to a lone goal the game before.

“PHS was a tough, physical team that played us

hard,” she said.

Throughout the first half of the season, Villemaire said her goals have remained the same.

“This takes some pressure off, but I still have the goals with my team to go undefeated, to win the Class B title and hopefully go onto the final four this season,” she said. “The main thing is we can go back to playing more within our system.”

Villemaire has had offensive help this season from Avery Durgan, Alyssa Waters and others, giving her openings at times.

“It helps when you have several players who can put the ball in the net,” she said.

As for the rest of the season, while Villemaire said she is focused on the team goals first, she has thought about Minerva/Newcomb alum Mackenzie Winslow and her Section VII mark of 125 career goals.

“That is a lot more to go, but the main focus is to keep winning and doing well as a team,” Villemaire said. ■

NAC SOCCER

The Lady Bobcat’s also found themselves without a game Sept. 25, having their scheduled game against Seton Catholic postponed. They ended the first half of the Division II season dropping a 3-2 score to Chazy. Avery Lambert scored twice on assists from Olivia Paiser in the first half, but were unable to fend off the Eagles attack in the second 40 as Kyra Becker scored twice and Emily Moak tallied the game-winner.

The boy’s team finished out the first half with a 3-1 win over Lake Placid, as Cody Peryea, Reed Lashway and Connor Coty all scored for Northern Adirondack after Jaso Hannula scored the opening goal for the Blue Bombers. ■

Beekmantown’s Kirsten Villemaire scored her 100th career varsity goal last week. While having her sites now set on team goals, Villemaire said she has thought about the Section VII scoring record of 125 goals.

Photo by Jill Lobdell » GOP Cont. from pg. 1 “But we really have and still believe Republican policy is better policy in fiscal policy and good government,” he said. “We’ve won some and lost some, but I really enjoyed it.”

McBrayer said Currier is the right man for the job, calling him an “excellent choice.”

Currier works as the Vice President of Operations for Twinstate Technologies in Morrisonville.

“The biggest thing is elections, and getting our candidates elected,” Currier said on his leadership priorities.

Key in reaching those goals is training for first-time candidates on campaign fundamentals, including door-to-door mailers, advertising, petitioning, absentee ballots and voter registration deadlines.

“A lot of elections have been decided by fewer than 10 votes,” Currier said. “A lot of these extra efforts pay dividends.”

Currier said McBrayer will be a tough act to follow.

“He brought it up to the next level.”

The Clinton, Essex and Franklin GOP committees work closely together in order to amplify their clout throughout the state.

“Don was tireless. He was a great chairman.

He really revitalized the Republican Party in Clinton County in his short time he was the chairman there,” said Essex County GOP Chair Shaun Gillilland. “I’m going to miss working with him a lot. He was already a fresh voice to talk to and an ally for what we want to do.”

At present, the three committees are working to bring potential Republican gubernatorial candidates to the North Country.

Franklin County GOP Chair Ray Scollin said McBrayer came highly recommended when he entered the political arena nearly four years ago.

“It’s a tough county for Republicans, and he’s done very well leading the GOP in the

county, and we’ve been fortunate to work with the guy,” Scollin said.

Stefanik called McBrayer “an incredible local leader and public servant for Clinton County and our region.”

“I am so proud to have worked closely with him these past few years,” said Stefanik in an email. “Don has been a passionate advocate for Peru and Clinton County, serving in political and public service roles and always putting the needs of our community first. We will miss Don greatly in Clinton County and I wish he and his wife Kara all the best in their next endeavor.”

Clinton County Democratic Party Chair Sara Rowden said she didn’t work with McBrayer, but wished Currier the best.

“Anybody who is willing to volunteer their time — to support causes they believe, hopefully good causes — I commend people willing to do the extra effort,” Rowden said. “Hopefully we work together in a bipartisan way and get things done.” ■

Clinton County Republican Party Committee Chair Donald McBrayer has resigned.

Clark Currier, former Saranac Town Chair, is his replacement.

NUTRITION AND ISSUES FACING THE SENIOR COMMUNITY

Help senior drivers maintain their

INDEPENDENCE

Age alone is not a reliable measure of driving ability, but many of the issues that affect one’s ability to safely drive a vehicle tend to appear as men and women near their golden years.

As men and women age, various factors may affect their ability to drive. In addition to issues with memory, seniors may have failing eyesight and physical limitations, and their reaction time may slow down. In such instances, seniors’ ability to safely operate a motor vehicle may be questioned.

tance. Aging men and women who don’t want to avoid potential conflicts with concerned family members can take their own steps to ensure they maintain their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

SCHEDULE A DRIVING SAFETY EVALUATION When drivers’ abilities to operate a motor vehicle become suspect, a thorough evaluation should be scheduled. The evaluation should not be handled by a family physician or family member, but by an unbiased third party like a Certified Driving Rehabilitation Specialist. This is a therapist who has special certification to assist people with disabilities, including older adults, with driving. They can

Age alone is not a reliable measure of driving ability, but many of the issues that affect one’s ability to safely drive a vehicle tend to appear as men and women near their golden years.

Losing the ability to safely operate an automobile can greatly reduce a person’s independence. That is why periodic driver evaluations may be met with some reluc-

help individuals with adaptive equipment or techniques if driving issues stem from something that can be addressed.

FIGURE OUT IF THE CAR “FITS” THE INDIVIDUAL A program called CarFit can help drivers assess if their car is suited to their abilities. A team of trained technicians and/or health professionals work with participants to ensure their vehicles are equipped for maximum safety and comfort. A properly adjusted vehicle is as important as one’s cognitive and physical abilities. Adjustments can include mirror placement, good foot positioning and sitting at the proper distance from the steering wheel. People can learn about an upcoming event at www. car-fit.org.

Medicare+Medicaid= More Benefits for You!

TAKE A DRIVER IMPROVEMENT COURSE Driver improvement courses are provided by various organizations, including some insurance companies. AARP also has a Driver Safety Course to lower the risk of traffic violations, collisions and injuries.

Completion of these courses can help drivers enhance their abilities behind the wheel and may result in lower premiums for mature drivers.

KEEP THE MIND AND BODY FIT Regular exercise and a healthy diet can be assets for mature drivers. Mental fitness techniques and brain exercises can improve reaction time, while aerobic and strength-training workouts can keep the body in shape.
