Cuomo: ‘Move Over’

Governor launches awareness campaign

Beekmantown voters to decide on school district’s capital project Board of Education approves ballot question to move forward with $18 million changes

BEEKMANTOWN — Town voters will go to the polls in January to decide whether to move forward with the school district’s capital project.

On. Nov. 8, the Beekmantown Central School Board of Education voted unanimously for a ballot initiative asking taxpayers to approve the $18 million in changes to the district’s four schools.

A number of rooms will receive sweeping improvements.

Two classrooms will be converted into a cafeteria in the Beekmantown Elementary school and a tech lab will be trans-

formed into a large group instruction area in the middle/high school.

The room in the Beekmantown Elementary School housing 12 physically-disabled students will be swapped with the downstairs music classroom.

The outdoor track will be renovated. Tennis and pickleball courts, along with a multi-use field for soccer and football will be added.

Other improvements include building a new entrance at Beekmantown Elementary School, upgrading the fire alarm system and gating the Cumberland Head Elementary School playground.

Superintendent Dan Mannix called the proposed changes a “true win-win” for the district, the students, community members and all taxpayers.

FOOD BASKETS JCEO gave away over 500 food baskets to local families on Thanksgiving through their 12 food pantry sites in Clinton County.

The offering was filled with turkeys and all the trimmings necessary to put on a traditional holiday feast, such as stuffing, potatoes, gravy, a dessert and more.

JCEO Community Outreach Director Sally Sousie said the non-profit organization plans on putting together similar baskets for Christmas, which will be delivered to senior citizens.

Plattsburgh Interfaith Food Shelf volunteer Dorothy Latta said she anticipates next month to be the busiest month for both client visits and donations.

“All these offerings are made possible with a huge community effort,” Sousie said. “We live in a very generous community.”

Several Clinton County organizations have already started their donation and fundraising efforts to bring a little holiday cheer to those in need.

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh City Council has condemned the wave of racial incidents that have reportedly rippled across the country in the wake of the presidential election.

“There’s been some things that have gone on around the nation that are, that I think are deplorable,” said Plattsburgh Mayor James Calnon at last week’s meeting. “I really didn’t expect to find any type of event like that at home.”

Calnon didn’t mention president-elect Donald Trump directly — nor a specific incident.

But the mayor appeared to allude to a series of experiences that a local restaurateur, an ethnic Tibetan, shared on Facebook.

In a post dated Nov. 11, Tenzin Dorjee cited a number of racially tinged incidents he said have left he and his family shaken.

“I have lived and been the best I can as a citizen in small town Plattsburgh for the last nine years,” wrote Dorjee. “The

TheÊ historyÊ of Ê PointÊ auÊ FerÊ www.suncommunitynews.com

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

CHAMPLAIN — For many years, Point au Fer wasn’t where people lived, but where they fought.

The small peninsula, the former battleground for American and British soldiers, is nestled along Lake Champlain on the eastern side of the town of Champlain that currently contains under 100 residents.

Over the course of 200 years, the land served many different purposes.

Local history buff David Patrick recently released a new calendar, “A History of Point au Fer,” focusing on the area’s hectic past.

“Point au Fer is surely the most historic location in all of Clinton County,” said Patrick. “No other location has seen so many notable events occur.”

Patrick’s research, obtained primarily through the SUNY Plattsburgh Feinberg Library, goes back to 1760 during the French and Indian War in June 1760 when the area’s first European conflict occurred.

During that time, Major Robert Rogers — leader and founder of the military group called “Roger’s Rangers” — was ordered to destroy the French military posts along the Richelieu River in Canada.

Patrick said the land remained vacant, for the most part, until 1774 when the British built a garrison called the “White House,” which frequently switched back and forth between the American and British armies during the Revolutionary War. After the war ended in 1783, the British still occupied Point au Fer, along with land in Champlain and Chazy.

During this time, the British tried to limit American settlement by ordering all men living up to 10 miles south of the Canadian border to join Canada’s military and follow Quebec laws.

The residents not living within that range were asked to leave.

“This caused terrible anxiety among the people of Champlain,” said Patrick.

Tired of living in fear, Champlain and Chazy residents went to the highest man in power during this time: President George Washington.

Although Washington couldn’t make the journey to the North Country, he sent a convoy, Major John Doughty, on a secret mission to find the issues and report back to the actual White House. >> See Point au Fer | pg. 5

Clinton County food pantries start healthy eating initiative County officials approve resolution to help get healthier donations into the hands of needy families

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — For those with a limited budget, healthy food options can hard to come by.

But the Clinton County Legislature and Health Department plan on changing that by increasing the availability of healthy items at food banks.

Earlier this month, county officials voted unanimously to accept over $300,000 in funding through the National Women, Infants and Children Association and NYS Health Foundation.

“The donations food banks are currently getting aren’t as healthy as we would like them to be,” County Legislator Jonathan Beach said. “We want to change that.”

Mandy Snay, director of health planning and promotion, said in February the department utilized a portion of this funding into an evaluation of some local food banks.

Through this, the health department gained knowledge of each bank and what the nutritional needs are for the pantries and their customers.

Both organizations serve thousands of people each month, Snay said.

“Instead of having to purchase those (healthy) items,” she said, “we want to try to get them through donations.”

The funding will partially go toward improving refrigeration in order to accommodate more healthier options, such as dairy, meat, eggs and possibly milk.

The rest of the funds will go toward spearheading a community campaign to get healthier donations into the hands of needy families.

Snay said the department plans on doing this through advertising, educational presentations at local food drives and markets and working with the pantries themselves.

Participating food pantries include the Plattsburgh Interfaith Food Shelf and the JCEO food pantries in Altona, Ausable, Black Brook, Champlain, Chazy, Clinton, Dannemora, Ellenburg, Peru, Saranac, town of Plattsburgh and city of Plattsburgh.

JCEO’s sites give families in need three-days worth of food and follow nutritional guidelines by the regional food bank.

Clients get to choose a number of items from each category, such as fruits, vegetables, grains and proteins.

Community Outreach Director Sally Sousie said through this initiative plans on educating their clients about healthier eating with the products in the pantries, including putting up posters with nutritional facts and writing healthy recipes.

“We have no issue getting healthy foods,” Sousie said. “But we do want our clients to choose the healthier option.”

The Plattsburgh Interfaith Food Shelf, on the other hand, does not receive as much healthy choices as they would like.

“I’m not going to lie, not all of our food is healthy,” said volunteer Dorothy Latta. “But we’re hoping to get healthier donations through this initiative.”

The emergency food pantry offers families in need four days worth of food and drinks seven times a year.

Healthy choices are limited, said Latta.

The volunteers purchase 22,000 of food per month from the regional food bank, which is 90 percent of their $150,000 budget.

A majority of that order, Latta said, is for foods with less sodium and fat.

Latta said she’s noticed a trend in more clients going toward the canned beef stew and boxed macaroni and cheese instead of the canned tuna and whole wheat pasta. As part of the initiative, the food shelf hopes to get out into the community during food drives and markets in hopes to get people to donate healthier items.

Snay said the campaign and upgrades to the food pantries should start sometime next month.

Holiday Train heads for area

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is rolling in again on Nov. 27

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – The brightly-lit Canadian Pacific Railway Holiday Train is again bound for Port Henry and Ticonderoga.

The train will arrive on Sunday, Nov. 27, at 3:10 p.m. in Ticonderoga and 4:45 p.m. in Port Henry.

“Hopefully, we’ll have good weather and a good turnout,” Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said. “All the food collected goes directly to the Food Shelf.”

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is back for the 18th year to raise money, food and awareness for local food banks and food shelves. People are asked to take a nonperishable food item to the train stop for donation to the local food shelf. The railroad also makes a monetary donation to local food banks at each stop.

The train is 1,000 feet in length, with 14 rail cars decorated with thousands of LED lights, and a boxcar that was converted into a traveling stage for the performers.

Canadian country artists Kelly Prescott and Doc Walker will be the musicians on the U.S. train this year.

The train will arrive at: - Ticonderoga Amtrak Station, 3:10 p.m.

- Port Henry Train Station, 4:45 p.m.

- Plattsburgh Amtrak Station, 7:15 p.m.

- Rouses Point Train Station, 9 p.m.

Every pound of food and dollar raised at each stop stays with the local food bank to help those in need in that community, Canadian Pacific CEO E. Hunter Harrison said.

“For nearly 20 years, CP has watched communities turn out to enjoy a wonderful event while taking a stand against hunger,” he said. “We are proud of the role the Holiday Train plays, but more importantly, we’re proud of the people and families that come out year after year to help their neighbors. They’re the reason we keep bringing the train back.”

Ticonderoga Town Supervisor Joseph Giordano said he’ll be at the train stop to accept the monetary donation from CP Railway.

“I’m going to go and say a few words,” Giordano said. “I’ll thank everyone for supporting the cause of the food bank. I’m hoping for a good turnout and I want to remind everyone to take a nonperishable food item. At this time of year, it’s wonderful to be a part of this community event.”

He said people should try to arrive early, around 2:45 p.m., because the boxcar stage opens toward the State Boat Launch Site and the train will block the crossing when it arrives.

“We’re thankful of the many blessings we have at this time of year,” Giordano said. “We need to support the many good causes in town.”

Shopping small in the North Country Businesses gear up for Small Business Saturday, encouraging residents to pick local over corporate

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — It’s time to shop small once again, North Country residents.

The North Country Chamber of Commerce started Small Business Saturday four years ago with the goal of generating more awareness of local mom and pop stores throughout the region.

This year’s event will feature a variety of small businesses from Jay to Rouses Point.

Different promotions and discounts will be offered at each one.

D&D Meats, for example, will be offering a few sales out of their 140 meat products.

The Dutils’ opened the West Chazy family business in 1981 on a shoestring budget.

Thanks to local supporters, the small business became a big name in the community and surrounding areas.

“Shopping local helped us to get to where we are today,” Co-Owner Shane Dutil said. “The trend of supporting local is definitely coming back.”

Besides the variety of meat products, D&D Meats sells 20 different kinds of cheeses. Onions and peppers grown from local farmers are paired with the store’s house-made sausage. Other local products, like honey from Northern Orchard, is sold on site.

“We’re small,” he said. “But we’re also very competitive.”

Lake Champlain Pools, Spas and Stoves Sales Manager Nick Buccellato said that local shops have more to offer than corporate stores.

One-on-one sales is one of them.

Buccellato said he believes the 42-year success of this business comes from knowing the products and being there to assist with issues when needed.

“If you have an issue, they [major corporations] won’t help you,” he said. “We’ll help you.”

The store’s inventory consists mainly of water-based recreation, such as pools, saunas and hot tubs. The most revenues, Buccellato said, come from water chemical purchases.

The sales manager said if something goes wrong, like the water turns green from a chemical reaction, customers from corporates such as Walmart and Amazon and Walmart would have to go through online chat rooms and telemarketers.

The Boynton Avenue business offers repairs and free water testing for when situations like that happen.

“We go above and beyond box stores by providing service after the sale,” Buccellato said. “Shopping local is the way to go.”

Holiday craft, vendor fair on tap Owners of West Chazy’s Bechard’s Sugar House Marvin and Tammy Bechard will be participating in this year’s Small Business Saturday.

PLATTSBURGH — The Holiday Craft and Vendor Fair will take place Sunday, Nov. 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Plattsburgh Comfort Inn & Suites. For more information, visit facebook.com/celticcraftershandmade.

The British left in 1796.

The area was surveyed in 1805 by William Beaumont and auctioned off in 1809.

During the War of 1812, the site was used as a lookout post by the American army.

Over the next several years, the site served many different purposes, such as a farming community and summer camp.

Now, it’s a residential community and the theme for Patrick’s 2017 calendar, his 15th in a series.

“The area has no trace of any event that happened back then,” he said. “That’s why I make these calendars — to inform people on what’s been long forgotten within the town.”

In May 2009, David Patrick and Clinton County Historian Addie Shields dedicated a plaque at the Point au Fer Memorial Park in honor of the hamlet’s history.

Take a breath

e’ve seen new levels of passion in the country and around the world as a result of the most recent election campaign.

Now that the campaigning is over and we’ve got a President-elect, neither side seems to have moved out of campaign mode, nor has the media or political pundits.

The conventional thinking throughout the campaign was that this Trump guy would go away sooner or later, Mrs. Clinton would rule the day and life would get back to the new normal for the U.S. and the rest of world. Far too many had accepted the status-quo; it was comfortable and predictable.

But just when the plan was about to fall into place, the American public voted and we got an unexpected, Wednesday morning surprise.

Shock, anger, jubilation, crying, laughter, relief, terror, fear, relief and every possible emotion you can think of suddenly went into maximum overdrive.

David defeats Goliath. Aliens land on earth. The sun didn’t rise in the sky. Name your headline but no matter what you choose, could anything be more unsettling and unpredictable than “Trump wins the presidency?”

Well, take a deep breath. Aliens did not land. The sun did in fact rise Wednesday morning and everyday since. In time we will all come to understand what this presidency will mean for our country and how it will affect our lives and those we love.

President Obama recently spoke about all the fake election news that’s been distributed through the Internet and on social channels, that in most cases were created to produced “click throughs” for financial gain by foreign enterprises, and the affects it could have had on those who accept it as the truth.

Whatever the case may be, we’ve got to understand and accept the fact the political rhetoric, campaign speak and spin should never be confused with actual facts.

When it’s time to compete, best of friends will do whatever it takes to win, but when the competition ends, it’s time for handshakes and hugs. We don’t need referees or umpires. The competition is over.

We all need to step back from the ledge, take a deep breath and allow Mr. Trump and his team a little time to collect their thoughts and transition from campaigning to governing. It’s how our democracy works.

Destroying property, chanting “Not my President,” beating up fellowcitizenswhomaydisagreewith you and refusing to accept what will be, serves no one’s interests.

There’s work to be done and plenty of time to reject and protest what Mr. Trump will do, if you disagree, but first let’s wait and see exactly what his final plans are. Only then can you make an educated decision based on known facts, assuming you take the time to seek out the true facts.

Change is inevitable and totally unpredictable. And that is the only thing we really know about the future.

Giving can be good for the soul W ith the holiday season now upon us, we’d like to shine a light on something called Giving Tuesday.

The national incentive, founded in 2012, is designed to highlight charitable efforts during the holidays, and is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving.

This year, it falls on Tuesday, Nov. 29, just after the litany of other events that have popped up in recent years, including Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.

National organizers have created an online directory to help folks find organizations, charities, people and events to which they would like to donate.

Some even have fundraising challenges.

We took a quick spin through the list, and there are a number of organizations across the region worthy of your attention, from youth centers to nonprofits promoting the arts.

Of course, there are many more unlisted local organizations that are not included in the initiative that are also worth your contributions.

You’re probably already aware of them.

We encourage you to set aside some time on Tuesday to engage in an act of selfless kindness — a donation, a pleasant word offered to a stranger, an hour of your time.

If none of those are possible, we suggest a quiet moment of self-reflection.

There is more to our plea than perfunctory positivity.

A 2013 study reveals giving actually has a physiological effect, releasing endorphins that offer a sense of tranquility, serenity and inner peace.

Additional studies link selfless action to stress reduction.

And still others, including recent research by a Cornell University professor, suggest the link between action and happiness is stronger than that of more traditional gift-giving because we identify more with experiences than objects.

All of that sounds pretty good right about now considering the ongoing national discussion, which remains uneasy and tense.

The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau and Pete DeMola. We want to hear from you. Drop us a line on our Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter, to share your thoughts.

Parent:Ê IÊ turnedÊ myÊ backÊ forÊ aÊ reason UnitedÊ WayÊ seasonÊ nowÊ underway To the Editor: In response to Ms. Hubert and Ms. Martin: It is too bad that you think turning my back on Ms. Seaman was rude — I could not swallow what she was dishing out any longer, so I turned my back to her.

A lot of others thought it was a great thing to do.

I felt it wrong that when Sen. Betty Little, Assemblyman Dan Stec and the other politicians had finished speaking, they got up and walked out. It would seem you were only concerned with my back — not theirs!

When the town board took away the voters’ right (to vote on the assessors issue) in a sense, turning their backs on them, I thought that showed a huge disrespect to the residents of Thurman, by the board. It would seem it all depends on which side of the aisle one is sitting.

Ms. Martin, I have found we have something we can agree on. You said, “the board researches the issues they discuss.” My question was and still is, “Where and when do these conversations occur?”

Everyone can see that this does not happen at public board meetings!

Some on this board have shown they feel the voters have no right to question them! By discontinuing freedom of the floor, they have insulted the people of this town, to which the people have spoken with there votes!

Some people want to speak at public meetings, some may rather seek out board members in a more private setting. Personally, I chose to speak in front of the public, not in the shadows!

If this board were truly working for all the people of this town, they would be listening to everyone that wanted to speak to them, not just to a few select individuals!

United Way funds 44 different agencies in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. I co-lead one of these agencies: the Champlain Valley Chapter of the Compassionate Friends. This is a self help bereavement support group for families who have had children, grandchildren or a sibling die. This is run by volunteers only. With the funds from United Way we can send out newsletters, run meetings, host a memorial walk and candle lighting ceremony, and also do other fun events for our members.

The United Way campaign is in full swing this holiday season, and with everyone hustling around to make sure we check everyone off our holiday lists, I would like for you to consider giving a gift in honor or memory of a loved one to this year’s United Way Campaign. holiday shopping is exhausting, so why not save some time and drop off a donation to the United Way office on the Tom Miller Road in Plattsburgh.

There are always gifts to purchase for those hard-to-buy-for people on our lists. Why not give a gift that will keep on giving? One gift will help 44 partner agencies.

If you have already done your shopping for this season, think about other times of the year when you are invited to anniversary and birthday parties, retirement parties and you just don’t know what to get. A gift to the United Way will take the guessing out of what to get them. Imagine how proud the honoree would feel opening a card with a message inside saying where the gift went in their name.

Times are challenging in our world today. Please help our neighbors and together we will reach our goal. Last year alone, our 44 partner agencies helped over 80,000 individuals collectively.

lETTERS TO THE EDiTOR

ElectionÊ DayÊ entourageÊ inappropriateÊ andÊ intimidating To the Editor: On Nov. 8, I voted in Willsboro. When I arrived to vote I was surprised by the number of people standing outside of the polls along both sides of the entry. As I walked into the poll, I noticed a few elected Willsboro officials standing outside along with the rest of the bystanders.

I entered and voted and upon asking the reason for the people outside, I was informed Elise Stefanik was arriving shortly to vote. As I exited the polls, she did arrive with her entourage, and all the elected officials and bystanders surrounded her and offered her their encouragement.

The elected officials, regardless of their party, are elected to represent to residents of Willsboro.

To be standing outside an election area awaiting a partisan politician, I find inappropriate and a little intimidating. Years ago, voting was considered a private matter and in some small circles it was even considered inappropriate to vote for oneself.

I would like to be able to walk into my government offices believing regardless of ones political affiliation you would be treated fairly. The living up of elected officials to shepherd a politician into a polling booth does not enhance that feeling.

Reginald Bedell Elizabethtown

DisappointedÊ inÊ politicalÊ commentary To the Editor: I have read and listened to so many say they are disappointed, afraid and upset about the outcome of the election. I have to agree.

The commentary “A millennial’s perspective” in the Nov. 19 edition made me wonder why the author felt many of her generation were raised by two Democrats. I don’t see the importance, or the fact basis. She also spoke to first time engagement into politics this cycle and the thought that the youth of today are not ignorant.

I welcome your youth, your intelligence and your enthusiasm, but you should know that many disappointments may arise in your political lifetime.

I also politely remind you that the estimated 75.4 million millennials need to realize that there are 248.8 million baby boomers, Gen. X, silent and Greatest Generation individuals that have experienced more than your “first time” pain.

We are still around.

We are upset at times also, but voicing our opinions and voting as well. It is not just about your generation.

I guess a major disappointment is with the “demonstrators” parents, the professors, the teachers, editorials, the columns, the “lame duck” president, the woman who lost and the Bernie that quit.

All of those mentioned demanded Trump stop the “riots” during the campaign. Those same people never called them demonstrations.

Where are you now?

The president, while in Germany, told them to keep it up! Shameful!

Your editorial of Nov. 19 stated: “No, they’re not rioting.”

What do you call it when they smash all the car windows at an auto dealership, light fires and smash store front windows?

Did they know the owners were Trump voters?

You also wrote: “They’re not un-American, and most we assume, are very nice people.”

I am disappointed that no one mentions the loss of property and monetary loss to the innocent Muslim, gay, white or black business owners credited to the “nice American demonstrators.”

Many interviewed claimed to be undocumented, illegals who feared deportation. Those caught smashing private property were students who skipped class, just to skip class and “thrill seekers” who wanted to be “in the moment” with those who got off the bus loads paid to “demonstrate.”

Those nice people blocked innocent people from going to work or getting to a hospital.

One person died in an ambulance not being able to move. Many rioters were ineligible to vote due to citizenship, or age so I blame the parents for not responding and the educators that did not fail them for not attending class.

I blame the media for the encouragement and continued coverage of the violence.

These have not been peaceful demonstrations for the most part.

These same people that want respect and want to be heard need to earn this deplorable, uneducated white male redneck’s respect and if you don’t want the label, I was given, get off the streets and back to class.

Perhaps if those who are so quick to go to the streets did it peacefully without damaging property and without infringing upon ones right to move about freely, I could respect them more.

Regardless of any political outcome the aftermath should be reconciliation and peaceful transition with the winners given a chance to govern.

I recall that your publisher, sometime back, taking a letter writer to task for condemning a newly elected supervisor before that person took office.

It was good advice, I hope all readers and writers can do the same.

Perhaps if those currently in office, those educating and those parenting did more to control the current situation, I could respect them more. For now, I am disappointed.

ToÊ theÊ HillaryÊ haters To the Editor: This is for all the Hillary haters to read when you talk about lying: When you see an American Iraq war veteran with one leg, think about who lied to cause him to lose his leg?

When you see an American Iraq war veteran with no legs, think of who lied to cause him to lose both legs?

When you see an American Iraq war veteran with one arm, think of who lied that caused him to lose his arm?

When you see an American Iraq war veteran with no arms, think of who caused him to lose both arms?

When you see an American Iraq war veteran who is blind, think of who lied to cause him to lose his vision?

When you see an American Iraq war veteran who doesn’t know where he is or who he is, think about who lied that caused him to lose his mind?

When you see all the American Iraq war veterans in hospitals today, think about who caused them to be in those hospitals?

I think about it all the time whenever I see any of our American Iraq veterans, I think about it all the time, who could have been responsible for all these ruined lives, how could any man or men have lied to do such a horrendous thing, who?

Then the answer came to me: George Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, William Kristol and George Tenet.

They all lied, and what did you do?

‘Radium Girl’ film hits close to home To the Editor: In 1941, my ma Helen Fieldstadt Phillips worked in a WWII defense plant willing the luminescent pointers for air craft gauges. She wanted to move “upstairs” into the wet radium department as it paid 10 cents more per hour.

But my dad, who was not married to her yet, said “no!”

That simple no saved her from a life of misery. She said that the girls in the wet radium used their lips to keep a point on the brushes.

Every one of them died!

I remember one lived on the Schroon River Road in Chestertown or Warrensburg and committed suicide by eating a can of Drain-o. This was back in the late 1950s.

My ma said her whole night shift would glow in the dark on their walk home. Was from filling the pointers to balance them.

Ma died April 1987 from natural cases.

Editor’s note: This letter refers to the article “Radium Girl movie shot in Lake George,” which appeared in the Oct. 29 edition of the Sun. George Phillips Chestertown

LetterÊ onÊ U.S.-IsraelÊ relationshipÊ misleading To the Editor: As a taxpayer, it is fair for Jim Bullard to entreat Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Mike Derrick to address U.S. funding of weapons for Israel (The Valley News Sun, Nov. 4). Indeed, it is his right to petition government as to how our taxpayer dollars should and should not be spent, or who should receive our aid.

As I have responded in the past to Mr. Bullard in this newspaper (The Valley News Sun, Aug. 27), Israel is the sole stable democracy in the Middle East with its citizens sharing many of our same Judeo-Christian values.

We are fortunate to have her as an ally, difficult as that may be from time to time. Yet, in Mr. Bullard’s letter to which I had responded (The Valley News Sun, Aug. 13) he veered off course from his fanciful hypothesis about a Trump-Putin-U.S. State Department triumvirate to off-handedly snipe that “our foreign policy is already directed by Israel.” In my response I asked him to question his motive for making this gratuitous (and false) assessment.

In Mr. Bullard’s Nov. 4 letter, he ramps up his choice of condescending phrases in regard to Israel — “artificial entity,” “statelet,” “Bronze Age Fairy tales” (I have to assume this is a regerence to the Hebrew Bible) — to show his contempt for the Jewish state. I can see where he’s headed with this.

I look forward to his next letter to the Sun to read news of a world-wide Jewish conspiracy to commandeer the Pentagon, maybe even the banks.

It is an old story, and it would be funny if it weren’t so sad.

Beyond the Beltway Democrats are worse off Dick Polman

Columnist

W

e’re all so fixated on what’s happening right now in Washington where Team Trump, shocked by its own victory, is scrambling to form a government with predictable incompetence - that it’s easy to ignore what’s happening in the states beyond the Beltway.

That’s where the Democrats are getting their butts kicked in ways not seen since the 1920s.

When the dust settles, they’ll control a mere 30 of the 98 partisan state legislative chambers. Their incessant losses at the grassroots level have put the Republicans fully in charge of both legislative chambers in 32 states.

That’s a record high for the GOP. Most state legislatures - at last check, 36 - draw the congressional boundaries for 336 of the 435 House districts. If Republicans can sustain their state dominance in the 2018 midterms (bet on it), they’ll keep drawing those boundaries in ways that maximize their voters and minimize the clout of Democratic voters - thus perpetuating their majorities in the House of Representatives. And if Republicans in the years ahead can raise their state legislative dominance from 32 to 38 states, while retaining their congressional power, they’ll be able to ratify their dream amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

This is one of the most underreported stories of our era: Barack Obama’s two wins at the top of the Democratic ticket have masked the party’s down-ballot disasters. In fact, Democrats have been hemorrhaging seats in the hinterlands since the 2010 midterms. Since Obama was sworn in, Democrats have lost roughly 900 state legislative seats and control of more than half the state chambers they ran at the dawn of 2009.

A party can’t build a solid bench if its legs are weak. Hillary Clinton acknowledged this in a 2015 interview: “You see the problems, when we don’t have a pipeline from county commissions and school boards and state legislatures all the way up to governors.

And it has really hurt us...we have just been decimated.”

So what’s the problem? Why have Democrats coughed up so many states - where anti-abortion laws and voter ID laws and so many other pet conservative causes have flourished during the last six years?

Clinton, in that interview, offered one reason: “Democrats are really personality-driven.” In other words, they’re focused on the presidential nominee, they’re top-down instead of bottom-up.

And since many (or most) voters don’t know much about their state legislators, party ID is arguably the most determinative factor. That’s where Republicans have built a big advantage; at the local level, their party brand is better. Fairly or not, they’re viewed as the party of “low taxes” and “pro-business.” Working-class whites view the GOP as the party of the little guy, even though Republicans haven’t done jack for the little guy and job-exodus due to factory shutdowns were endemic under Ronald Reagan.

But nobody ever said that politics is fair. Democrats have long paid insufficient attention to their grassroots races, failing time and again to find the “language that real voters speak in.” So says Democratic activist Jessica Post, who had the thankless task of helming the party’s 2016 plan to win back state legislatures.

In her words, “We have a lot of learning to do about how to go back to our roots...I think Democrats are in for a long period of introspection.”

Can’t argue with that.

“This economically smart project will keep us in the forefront of educational opportunities for students,” he said.

If approved by voters, Mannix said the district will begin immediately on the design phase and complete it by summer 2018. The hope is to have all the renovations completed within 18 months to two years.

About 80 percent of the project will be covered through the state. All of the district’s capital reserve — $500,000 — will be used. The remaining will come out of the district’s funding allocated toward previous infrastructure projects.

The project would be of no cost to the taxpayers, said Mannix.

“Hopefully, the voters will approve the project,” he said. “But we need to make sure they’re fully informed before they make a final decision.”

The district will hold several meetings until January. One will take place Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. for parents and athletes only and the second will take place 5;15 p.m. on Jan. 10 for all taxpayers. Both meetings will take place at the middle and high school. The rest of the meetings are tentative.

of people to have a better Christmas,” she said. “We hope to do even better this year.”

The first fundraiser will be a movie showing of “The Polar Express” at Cumberland 12 Cinemas Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 6 p.m.

Admission is $10 or a new unwrapped toy.

WINTER JACKETS Last week, St. Augustine’s Knights of Columbus Council 7273 donated 24 winter jackets to the Peru Elementary School.

Since starting Coats for Kids in 2009, the organization has purchased and given away over 100 coats to children in need.

“We knew there was a need and we responded to it,” said John Ryan, Coats for Kids chairman. “If there is more of a need, we’ll respond to that too.”

SANTA SPRINT The Champlain-Rouses Point Rotary will be hosting its third annual Santa Sprint this Saturday at the Last Resort in Rouses Point.

All monetary proceeds will go toward the North Country Honor Flight, while toys will be donated to the rotary’s Adopt-A-Family program.

The program’s goal is to provide gifts to families in need in the town of Champlain.

Last year, the organization’s team wrapped and donated dozens of presents.

This year, President of the Champlain-Rouses Point Rotary Molly Ryan hopes to do even more.

“This is a great way to kick off the holiday season and support those in need,” she said.

Emily Estes began Teens for the Marines Toys for Tots in 2012. Since then, over 1,500 cards have been sent out to wounded soldiers and veterans through the American Red Cross Northern New York Chamber in Albany and the North Country Honor Flight.

EyE On THE ARTS

Let the arts get you through Thanksgiving is here again, and soon the homes of North Country residents will be filled with food, fun, family — and differing political opinions.

It’s a classic scenario: you’re sitting at the table, innocently eating a forkful of your aunt’s pumpkin pie, when suddenly your uncle breaks out in an unmitigated rant about “those people.”

It’s rough — I know. But there’s a way to get through it without spending your entire Thanksgiving meal struggling to keep your eyes from rolling.

The arts.

Now, stay with me here.

When you’re faced with a seemingly endless political discussion at the dinner table this season, bring up an anecdote. Talk about that concert you went to this week. The musical you saw.

Go into such a detailed description that everyone at the table is simply amazed at how cultured you are. So amazed that everyone will be left speechless.

Sounds like it’ll work right? No? Here are a few options anyway: Market Street Brass will perform at the Keene Valley Congregational Church on Dec. 11.

This North Country ensemble features musicians Rob Hastings, Lynn Dewalt, Kristin McLain, Curtis Austin, Doug Mclain and Stephanie McLain Rainsberger. The band plays a wide variety of instruments – trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone, tuba and more. The program is holidaythemed. There is a suggested donation of $10 at the door. For more information, contact Mary Lawrence at 576-9857 or eastbranchfriendsofthearts@gmail.com.

On Nov. 27, the Essex Theatre Company will host a reading of J. Allen Fitz-Gerald’s new play “Prisoners of Hope” at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall.

Racial Incidents << Continued from | p. 1

last two days have been shocking to say the least. I was subjected to the choicest racial language that I have ever heard.”

Dorjee told North Country Public Radio he was peppered with slurs outside Walmart. While driving, he was cut off and given the finger. And his car was vandalized (which he admitted may be unrelated).

“I choose to ignore the curses and answer them with a smile,” he said, “For I have no other recourse, not knowing what the outcome will be if I chose to respond otherwise.”

While Dorjee said he had no plans to report the incidents to law enforcement, they have sparked a discussion in a city that remains overwhelmingly white — 90 percent, according to 2010 U.S. Census Bureau data.

‘ENRICHED BY DIVERSITY’ Historically, the City of Plattsburgh has been a diverse community, Calnon said on Thursday.

“We have always been enriched by that diversity and we continue to acknowledge the benefits from that, and I personally have never been prouder of Plattsburgh than with the ‘Hate is not a Plattsburgh value’ campaign that was here a few years ago,” Calnon said, referring to the outcry against a protest by the Westboro Baptist Church, a controversial religious sect, in 2009.

Dorjee’s experiences join others that have been reported across the country since last week, including several in New York.

Fliers glorifying the Ku Klux Klan were found distributed

www.suncommunitynews.com

on cars in Patchogue last week, and a swastika was discovered on the B train in Manhattan, according to the governor’s office.

A Brooklyn playground dedicated to the late Adam Yauch, best known as a founding member of the Beastie Boys, was also defaced with anti-Semitic imagery, which led to a peaceful gathering on Sunday.

The incidents are all part of a rising spike in racially-motivated attacks that Gov. Andrew Cuomo referred to as a “dangerous new permissiveness that threatens our American way.”

Data supports those claims. The Southern Poverty Law Center reported over 700 incidents of intimidation targeting people of color, Muslims, immigrants and the LGBT community since the election on Nov. 8.

Following the wave of reports, Cuomo on Sunday announced the creation of a new state police task force to investigate hate crimes.

The governor also ordered an expansion of the state’s human rights law to protect all students, and announced the establishment of a new emergency legal defense fund for immigrants.

Cuomo also requested that the State Education Department take immediate action to address instances of prejudice, including requiring training for staff and students on the discriminatory behavior that is prohibited under state law.

Last week, the governor, who said he was “soul sick” over the activity, ordered state police and the state Division of Human Rights to conduct a multi-agency investigation into an alleged hate crime that took place at SUNY Geneseo.

The incident was first reported by a staffer who discovered graffiti, including a swastika and the word “Trump” at a dorm, according to the governor’s office.

This marks the second post-election investigation launched into alleged hate crimes in the Empire State.

Last week, a softball field dugout in Wellsville, Allegany County, was defaced with the words “Make America White Again” accompanied by a spray-painted swastika.

“I call on all public officials, of all parties, and indeed, all people everywhere, to denounce and repudiate these expressions, and to pledge to punish to the full extent of the law anyone engaged in such acts,” Cuomo said.

Cuomo, long a champion of progressive values, joined thousands of other New Yorkers earlier this month in posting a sticky note on a wall at the 14th Street-Union Square subway station in Manhattan, the site of an impromptu therapeutic outlet following the election.

“New York State holds the torch high!,” wrote the governor, signing the note “Andrew C.” “‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free … I lift my lamp beside the golden door,’” Cuomo wrote, quoting Emma Lazarus.

TOUGH TIMES Dr. J.W. Wiley, Chief Diversity Officer at SUNY Plattsburgh, said he hasn’t personally witnessed an uptick in racial incidents since the election — but said Trump’s ascension has given people cover to express their ugliest sentiments.

“People are more comfortable going to those places,” Wiley

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

said.

When candidate Trump stumped in the city in April, Wiley heard reports of 12 trucks with Confederate flags driving up and down campus streets.

“In the 16 years I lived here, take 15 years, add them up and they still don’t add up to how many (Confederate flags) I’ve seen in the past seven months,” Wiley said.

Trump is already failing as a leader by declining to strongly repudiate these actions — and it may get worse after he takes office in January, he said.

“A leader of a large constituency base has to be receptive to their community,” Wiley said. “No leader has a larger constituency base than the president of the United States.”

Wiley said he’s trying to stay positive, following former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton’s and President Obama’s urging to foster productive discourse.

But it’s tough, Wiley said, when Trump appoints people with long records of racially-tinged statements to his team, including Steve Bannon, the former editor of alt-right site Breitbart News, and Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, as attorney general.

“We’ve got some tough times ahead of us,” Wiley said.

EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS The Adirondack Diversity Advisory Council said the current political climate did not develop in the last few days or even in the last few years.

“It is an expression of deep-seated biases that have institutionalized themselves throughout America’s social fabric,” said Pete Nelson, the organization’s co-founder.

ADAC, said Nelson, believes in the mantra that “people don’t know what they don’t know.”

“Most of us don’t recognize or understand our racial and gender biases, our age-ism or our religious intolerance,” Nelson said. “All of us have a lot more to learn in an increasingly diverse world.”

As reports of incidences continue to ripple across the country, ADAC will continue initiatives that speak to building experience and competence, Nelson said.

Two cornerstones of their long-term strategy are promoting more education and building more experiences of diversity in local communities.

Those efforts join a youth exchange program between urban and Adirondack young people, marketing, outreach and symposia.

ADAC, Nelson said, is also in the middle of a strategic planning exercise that will grow the organization, refocus these initiatives and develop new ones.

More will be announced in coming months.

“In the meantime, we will continue to increase our presence in the Adirondacks as we work with our allies to build a more competent, socially just and diverse region,” Nelson said.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT In Plattsburgh, response to Dorjee’s post was swift, and many public figures offered their support.

“You and your family are very welcome in our community,” wrote Jennifer Booth, former executive director of the North Country Girl Scout Council. “Please do not let a few bad apples spoil the welcome of many.”

“You are an integral part of our community. Thanks for being here and educating us on your heritage and feeding us wonderful food,” said Deb Cleary, who serves as the CEO for >> See Racial Incidents | pg. 15

ETS, Inc. Another wrote: “I am embarrassed and appalled but not taken by surprise in hearing this, Tenzin. I hope we are not judged by the hateful behavior of a few.

“You and your family are welcome and loved here, just as everyone should be.”

John Petroski said the outrage cuts across party lines.

“There are many in your region who are impoverished and, unfortunately, you are their scapegoat now because they can not bear to face their own failure,” he wrote. “It sucks. I’m sorry and embarrassed by my party. The conservative message has been totally perverted over time.”

Wiley, the diversity officer, said he doesn’t believe every Trump supporter harbors racist tendencies.

“Everybody that voted for Trump is not necessarily any more racist than all of us who have been socialized in a racist country,” he said.

But, he added: “I will never understand how someone can vote for someone who represents all the other pieces that he represents.”

CALL FOR HELP The state has launched a toll-free hotline to report incidents of bias and discrimination.

Residents who have experienced bias-motivated threats, harassment or discrimination are encouraged to call (888) 392-3644 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Those wishing to report a crime or fear for their safety are encouraged to call 911 immediately.

Calnon said the city is “committed to upholding the values that sustain a flourishing community; the values of inclusion, acceptance and celebration of the many-hued fabric of humanity.”

“I want to and want all of us to encourage all of our community members to do the same,” he said. “Celebrate our diversity, do not use it as an excuse for horrendous behavior.”

State launches ‘Move Over’ awareness campaign Officials stress importance of adherence to ‘Move Over’ law Elizabeth Izzo

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

ALBANY — In the wake of several roadway deaths across the state, officials are renewing a push to raise awareness of New York’s “Move Over” law, which requires motorists to slow down and move over when approaching law enforcement, emergency and other officials vehicles while stopped on the roadway.

To kick off the week-long effort, Gov. Andrew Cuomo released a PSA featuring emergency and hazard responders, which will be shown on statewide broadcast and cable stations.

“The work performed by these first responders and workers is critical to the safety of our roadways and the motorists who use them,” said Cuomo in a statement. “Every precaution must be taken to reduce the danger already inherent in these hazardous jobs and avoid preventable tragedies.”

Recent fatal crashes emphasize the critical importance of the campaign, said the governor, including last month’s death of tow truck operator assisting a disabled vehicle on the Thruway in Montgomery County, and a construction worker killed in Herkimer County.

In Clinton County, Kelly Donoghue, assistant director of Clinton County Emergency Services, said the law was “extremely important.”

People can often get distracted while driving, he said, with drivers getting caught up in other things and experiencing a lapse in attention without even realizing it.

“Sometimes we lose focus on what were supposed to be doing, like paying attention,” he said. “When you approach an emergency scene and you have law enforcement or tow truck drivers — EMS, fire — there’s a potential that they don’t see someone quick enough and someone could get hit.

“Even myself, having been on a couple scenes, you see people coming by really close.”

It’s also important to watch the road lines, Donoghue said.

For instance, if a motorist is stopped behind an accident, and there are double lines on the road, it’s better to allow the other lanes to clear before trying to move around the obstacle, he said.

“I fully support the ‘Move Over’ law,” said Don Jaquish, director of Essex County Emergency Services. “Out on the interstate is a scary place to be. When people move over, it gives us extra space and safety. If you can’t move over, then you can slow down.”

Throughout the week, Thruway staff, state troopers and tow truck operators promoted the campaign at service areas by handing out flyers and talking with motorists about the importance of the legislation.

The law, first passed in 2011, was expanded last July to include volunteer firefighter and ambulance workers, previously applying only to law enforcement, emergency or hazard vehicles.

Sanitation vehicles were included in November, and the law now applies to all vehicles with flashing blue, green, red, white or amber lights.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo called on New Yorkers to unite in the fight for tolerance and justice while at Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem on Sunday, Nov. 19. The nation has seen a spike of racially motivated incidents in the wake of the U.S. presidential election earlier this month.

Elmore SPCA Adoptable Pets Rebecca Burdo

> Shelter Manager

info@elmorespca.org • (518) 643-2451

Here is Captain, an adoptable dog from Elmore SPCA...

Captain is a male Australian cattle dog, shepherd mix, who is 7 to 8 months old.

Captain is a gorgeous and smart young pup who is looking for his new beginning at Elmore SPCA. His people took him in as a puppy, but when their living and working situation changed they realized that this breed of dog was a bit much for them. This young pup is extremely smart and willing to please his people. He was left alone a bit too much and, you guessed it, he got into the garbage and learned to chew paper products. He was then kennelled when his people left, but he had way too much energy to be kennelled so much.

Captain gets along with other dogs and cats. He enjoys playing a bit rough with other dogs, and he prefers to be the mots dominant dog in the situation. Captain likes his toys and he loves attention from his people. He, like most herding dogs, needs a home where he will get lots of mental and physical stimulation. He literally needs to have a job to do where his specific skill set will be honed. He would do really well in agility training and would love to be in a home where he will get the leadership he needs. He really is super smart and loves to please his people. This guy is still very much a pup! He tested negative for lyme, heartworm, ehrlichia and anaplasmosis, is now current on vaccinations and is now neutered. Come in and meet this smart, energetic, happy go lucky dog who will do well in an active house hold.

Simi is a female siamese mix, who is 6 years old.

Simi is a stunning siamese mix who is looking for her new beginning here at Elmore SPCA. She, and her pal Cheech, were well loved by their elderly human. Unfortunately, their human had to move where he couldn’t keep his beloved cats.

Simi has always lived indoors and has never been outside at all! She lived quite well with other cats and dogs her whole life.

She is fond of children, but really liked it when the grand kids went home. Simi is doing very well in our cat colony as she likes to climb and to explore her surroundings. She isn’t too into playing with toys, but she does enjoy being pet and taking naps. =) Simi was spayed before she arrived. She is now current on vaccinations and has tested negative for FeLV/FIV. Simi would love to go to her new home soon. Come in and meet this wonderful adult cat who will do well in most homes.
