Mighty Matthew BCSD’s Digital fights with might Literacy Initiative Local family stays strong as son battles illness

Beekmantown launches phase II of initiative

Mystery shrouds Lewis missile site

As a plan to pump toxic waste from a decommissioned Cold War site surfaces, residents are calling for answers

By Pete DeMola

LEWIS — This stretch of the Adirondack Park is a quiet place.

It’s a pocket of wilderness in northern Essex County that serves as a respite of silent meditation among the pines; a place of home and community where generations have

raised their families, worked in the nearby mines and mills and practiced football in the frosty shade of the nearby mountains.

It’s because of this remote location that, perhaps unsurprisingly, the federal government designated it as a nuclear missile launch site during the Cold War. The eight-acre site on Hale Hill Road, once a bulwark against nuclear armageddon, has long been praised in national media profiles as a whimsical example of atomic age chic.

But those who live in its shadow are now gravely concerned about the lack of transparency surrounding a plan by its new owners to pump the water that has gathered at the bottom of the silo, treat it and discharge it into

HereÊ comesÊÊ SantaÊ Sprint

the land that provides their drinking water.

The subsequent sludge, which contains lead and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), would then be shipped off-site for disposal.

Residents became aware of the project only after a county worker, through a workplace conversation, learned of a state pollutant discharge elimination system permit that was filed in September.

“We’d be left completely in the dark if it wasn’t by accident finding out about this process,” said Dan Canavan, a local resident.

But work had already started on the site, located about 30 miles south of Plattsburgh. >> Story Continued | pg. 7

Mooers conducting feasibility study for water and sewer Plans to discuss incorporating a main water and sewer system in the town

Holiday walk/run to take place Nov. 28 ROUSES POINT — Take out your Santa hat and suit early because the second annual Santa Sprint will take place Saturday, Nov. 28 at 9 a.m.

The run started last year by a member of the Champlain-Rouses Point Rotary who Teah had a passion for running and thought a Dowling Santa Sprint would be an unique way to Writer raise money for a local cause.

The first year, the rotary raised money to support a literacy program for the youth in the Champlain and Rouses Point community.

Although the run didn’t have a lot of people, the rotary raised enough funds to support the program.

For this year, they wanted to build on that success to support a cause that touched more people: North Country Honor Flight.

“This is a great way to kick off the holiday season and support a good cause,” said Molly Ryan, president of the Champlain-Rouses Point Rotary. “It’s also a way to say thank you to the veterans for all that they do year-long.” >> Story Continued | pg. 11

Plans to pump sludge from a former nuclear launch site in Lewis have raised questions from residents who are concerned about the possible effect on their drinking water.

MOOERS — The Town of Mooers is currently conducting a feasibility study of the water and sewer to see if it’s possible to put in a main system for both.

The feasibility study began in August 2015 after considering to clean up the contaminated Great Chazy River because of the sewer run off.

After town council discussions, they decided to include water into the study as well to see if it’s feasible and cost effective to incorporate both.

Supervisor Jeff Menard said if they can only afford one, they’ll incorporate the sewer.

SEWER ISSUES

The second annual Santa Sprint will take place Saturday, Nov. 28. If participants bring a toy to the race, they’ll receive their own Santa hat.

Mighty Matthew continues to fight with might Local family stays strong as son continues battle against mito and CIPO

PLATTSBURGH’S OWN SUPERHERO Over the course of his diagnosis, Matthew has not only become a fan to residents of Plattsburgh, but the North Country.

In the summer of 2012, Matthew received keys to the City of Plattsburgh. He also joined SUNY Plattsburgh’s baseball team in November 2014.

In Lewis, Matthew took on the role of an Essex County Sheriff ’s deputy on a mission to track down two notorious lollipop bandits in town.

Terry stated that the family tries their best to get Matthew out and about in the community to raise awareness for his condition.

In return, the community has come together a number of times to raise money and support Plattsburgh’s local hero — something he truly appreciates.

“It’s amazing how people are helping me so much just because I’m in the hospital,” Mighty Matthew said. “I just want to say thank you so much for all of it.”

PLATTSBURGH — A two-day trip to Boston for testing turned into a 30-day trip of procedures and unexpected complications for Mighty Matthew.

Matthew Cech, Plattsburgh’s 11-year-old local superhero, went to Boston for testing to find out if Matthew could consume more by mouth than he does now: lollipops, popsicles and a few other items — hoping he could maybe consume baby foods and other soft foods such as squash.

The testing didn’t go as good as the Cech family hoped, which led into a series of problems — one of the biggest being having emergency surgery to remove his colon and appendix.

After eight sedated procedures and a few unexpected complications, Matthew returned home last Thursday.

“He’s OK,” said Terry Cech, Matthew’s father. “He’s still recovering and he’s building his strength back up.

“Hopefully, he will be back to where he was very soon.”

MIGHTY MATTHEW’S BEGINNING Matthew was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease complex I and III CIPO (chronic intestinal pseudo obstruction) at 3 and half years old in January 2008.

Matthew’s intestines and stomach don’t work properly. He currently has a feeding tube in stomach in which he receives

his nutrition.

Because of his illnesses, Matthew visits Boston every three months in two different hospitals and sees 10 to 12 different doctors.

Although Matthew’s road has been tough, he fought, and is still fighting, through it alongside Terry, his mother, Lisa, and older brothers Bradley (19) and Steven (17).

He also got through it with the help of his superhero persona that began when he was 5 years old as a handmade Halloween costume.

“He came up with the name,” Terry said, “and it stuck with him.”

BCSD launches phase II of Digital Literacy Initiative

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

WEST CHAZY — Beekmantown Central School District launched phase II of its One to One Digital Literacy Initiative last week.

The One to One (one student to one device) Digital Literacy Initiative supplies Dell Chromebooks to Beekmantown’s students and teachers to help promote future educational technology growth within the classroom.

Phase I started in April when a group of 32 teachers and administrators learned the ways of a Dell Chromebook and how to use it in the classroom. At the start of that school year, 670 of those devices were given out to the students of those teachers.

“We did our homework and we went to a lot of places,” Superintendent Dan Mannix said. “We looked a lot of different options and we made the right decision.”

This year, more teachers joined the initiative and for the next school year, roughly 500 more will be given out to students: As of now, the initiative has spread throughout half of kindergarten, first grade, second grade and third grade; all of fourth, fifth and sixth grades; a lot of seventh, eighth, ninth and eleventh grade; and little to none in tenth and twelfth grades — all based off of the teachers willingness to participate in the initiative.

For this phase and the last phase, teachers could choose whether to incorporate Chromebooks into the classroom.

Mannix said for future phases, this might be a requirement since the overall goal of the initiative is to match one student with one device.

BECOMING TECH-SAVVY One reason as to why teachers are hesitant to joining the initiative is because they don’t consider themselves to be techsavvy.

“It’s scary even if you have some technology abilities,” said Amy Couture, second grade teacher. “There have been times in the classroom where things don’t go right with the Chromebooks and I get nervous.”

During the meeting, Couture shared her experiences along

with the Google apps she uses in her classroom, including Google Classroom, Kahoot, SchoolTool, Google Docs and, her personal favorite, BlendSpace.

She explained how even though she struggled with some of the apps, she learned which ones she preferred over the other through trial and error and assistance from tech-support.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Another concern of the teachers is classroom management of their students with their machines.

Some concerns include students browsing or going on their Facebook when they’re supposed to be doing an assignment and focusing more on the device than the teacher.

“We have the same problems in this classroom setting than one without Chromebooks,” said Sarah Vagi, a seventh and eighth grade social studies teacher. “But when the students go on their Chromebooks, they know that it’s a privilege.”

Vagi said if her students do act out, she can monitor them on her computer and see exactly what they’re doing. Also, restrictions can be set up to prevent students from going on specific websites at certain times.

PORTABLE LEARNING Students in the higher grades are able to take their Chromebooks out of the classroom to their homes to complete any necessary assignments given by the teacher — giving their parents an opportunity to learn something new along with them.

“Everytime my son has to do something on the computer he shows me,” said Stacy Bobbie who has a son in the fourth grade. “Just what they’re doing in that classroom is amazing.”

Under specific restrictions similar to the ones they have in school, students are expected to use the Chromebooks at home like they would in school.

Now, students without internet access in their homes will be able to use the Chromebooks as well with the help of the school’s new HotSpot Program.

HOTSPOT PROGRAM Also on that day, BCSD announced its new program called the HotSpot program, which offers a limited number of free wireless hotspot devices to students in the

Digital Literacy Initiative with Chromebooks who don’t have Internet access at home.

This program, funded through the ELT (Extended Learning Time) grant, enables students to check out internet service for up to two weeks at a time at no charge.

“For some of these students, this is the first wireless access they’ve ever had and this is the first computer that has ever been in their household,” said Gary Lambert, director of 21st Century Learning. “We’re not just changing their structure, but we’re changing their lives.”

To reserve a wireless hotspot, students need to visit the “students” section of the district’s website to fill out and submit the reservation form for the device. Parents will also need to complete a consent form, which is also available on the same page.

A panel of Beekmantown teachers (Sarah Vagi, John Chapman and Amy Couture) and Technology Integration Specialist David Yonteff addressed the concerns of incoming phase II teachers.

Odd reversals

ur world felt a seismic shift last week after the terrorist raid in Paris that killed far too many. Couple that event with the definite proof that terrorists in fact did down the Russian airliner a few weeks ago, killing all 224 on board.

Finally we are seeing nations taking significant steps to put an end to the unspeakable terror we’ve witnessed with increasing regularity throughout the world.

During my life time, I’ve known the United States of America to be the world’s leader in addressing hotspots around the world. We learned the hard way many years ago, we could not turn our back on world issues as, sooner or later they would land on our shores and it was always more prudent to face them on our terms and before they became too large to handle.

Such is not the case currently despite the threats and attacks we’ve seen both at home and abroad.

Perhaps our reluctance to fully engage is just not how we view our role any longer.

Perhaps politics have driven our nation so far beyond common sense and finding common ground that we no longer have the ability nor the stomach to lead as we once did.

Consider this: Gun violence in this country, not committed by criminals or gangs, but by a few deranged, unstable, or suicidal individuals has caused many in this country to seek the banishment of guns and ammunition ownership by private law biding citizens.

The fear being what the guns and ammo may do to innocent citizens.

Now as we consider allowing Syrian refugees a free pass into the nation another group of many fear a few among the refugees are terrorists in disguise who seek to conduct their rein of terror within our midst.

Just like the guns, we are told by leading law enforcement officials there is no way to verify the intention of every refugee no more than they can predetermine the few already among us who might choose to kill innocent men, women and children.

It seems to me both of these groups are making the same argument but in opposite directions strictly for political gain.

It’s hard to understand how any country’s citizen can turn a weapon or bomb

Gov. Pataki should call it a day H

ere come the holidays. We’re thrilled not only for the obvious reasons — food, family and football — but also because it’s a time when the ever-present political drone becomes slightly muted and the jabber of the presidential race fades into the holiday landscape.

Once the presidential hopefuls emerge from their turkey-padded cocoons, the candidates can look forward to another six weeks on the stump before voters in Iowa and New Hampshire kick off the nation’s first nominating contests.

The GOP field is showing signs of winnowing, the most recent dropout being Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, whose campaign failed to gain traction and was languishing at 1 percent in national polls when he exited the race earlier this month.

“This is not my time,” Jindal said.

Neither is it Gov. George Pataki’s. But despite having virtually zero support — the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll has the former New York chief executive polling at less than a half-percent — Pataki remains in the race.

Governor, you’ve made a noble effort, but it’s time to drop out.

The three-term governor launched his candidacy in May as a moderate Republican, one who presided over the state during 9/11 and could appeal to the broad center of the American electorate.

But with the rise of other candidates who have occupied this niche — Ohio Gov. John Kasich as the moderate can-do governor; Chris Christie, of New Jersey, as the red warrior in the deep-blue state — the basis for his candidacy, if that was even a viable one at all, has evaporated.

Pataki has now resorted to tossing plutonium-grade bombs from his perch in New Hampshire in a game of one-upmanship as to who can issue the most hawkish remarks.

The left has an “agenda of victimhood,” he has said. He’s called Team Obama a “disgrace” and says the administration is “holding the military hostage” — “The Obama-Clinton-Kerry axis of evasion, equivocation & error has left America at the mercy of ISIS cowards,” he wrote on Twitter.

Jeez. Sure, we know it’s all just red meat for the party base, much of which may be forgotten by the general election. But it just comes across as increasingly desperate and ill-fitting on the governor, who has never seemed like much of an ideologue.

Fear mongering only pays short-term political dividends.

It’s never a good sign when you have to constantly remind voters who you are. Even worse is when your campaign is only notable for its invisibility.

But harming your legacy with this sharp tack to the right, attempting to leverage unreasonable fear into political gain, is the icing on the cake — It doesn’t make you sound tough, but rather like an opportunist.

At 70, it seems like Pataki has no real need to reshape his legacy or carve out another career as a cable commentator, author or cabinet member, like the other long-shot candidates. Nor would he be in contention for a veep spot on the eventual ticket.

It all just seems like an exercise in futility (and a wee bit of narcissism).

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the governor has a home right here in our backyard, a working cattle farm on the shores on Lake Champlain he purchased in 2003.

While charting the country’s future doesn’t appear to be in the cards for the governor, it’s not too late to make the world a better place on a smaller scale.

Perhaps he can start in this hotbed of the farm-to-table movement.

Plenty of emerging farmers in Essex County, we think, would benefit from the governor’s expertise in public policy and agriculture.

It’s just too bad that he’s spending his days focused on the wrong type of bull.

SupportÊ theÊ UnitedÊ Way To the Editor: I represent the United Way Campaign Team for the Adirondack Region.

United Way funds 42 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 five a gift that will keep on giving. One gift will help 42 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 when 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 42 partner agencies helped over 80,000 individuals collectively.

PublicÊ needsÊ toÊ becomeÊ awareÊ To the Editor: The Advocacy & Resource Center provides supports to over 500 people with developmental disabilities. We have committed to advocate and protect people with developmental disabilities. It is critical for the community to be aware of how changes in funding are reducing services to the people we support.

Workshops can no longer accept new people. Changes must be made so that people will not be displaced.

The ARC has 22 residential homes in Clinton County. Unfortunately, the development of new homes is lagging behind the demand for them. This is true for adult children living at home with parents who have lost their ability to adequately care for them and provide for their future needs. Statewide, there are 6000 people living at home with developmental disabilities waiting for placement.

The ARC provides Respite Services for 80 families. With the projected funding cuts, respite services may be eliminated in the future.

Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), our frontline staff, are the backbone of services for people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities.

The NYS Labor Commissioner has approved a plan to enact a $15 minimum wage for fast food workers. We are advocating that frontline works receive at least the same as fast food workers.

We want to make people aware of the issues and how they will impact people with developmental disabilities and their families. It matters to us. If it matters to you please write Governor Cuomo, call or email your Senators,

Assemblywoman and Congresswoman.

We are inviting you to attend an informational meeting Monday, Dec, 14, at West Side Ballroom, 253 New York Road, Plattsburgh, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

HolidayÊ ToteÊ DriveÊ inÊ session To the Editor: Seasons Greetings North Country Residents; It’s that time of the year when I bestow upon the generosity of community members, businesses and organizations to contribute to the Annual Holiday Meal (Christmas) Tote Drive.

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

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

I can prepare and deliver the Meal Totes but it is the generosity of the North Country community who truly make the Annual Meal Tote Drive a continued success.

The following items are greatly appreciated: Turkeys, Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce, Canned Corn & Green Beans, Turkey Gravy, 5lbs Bags of Potatoes, Packaged Dinner Rolls and Apple Pies (Unfrozen, please).

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

T

his is Thanksgiving week--time for being grateful. It’s also a time to talk about sharing. I’m grateful for my family and friends and for being given the opportunity to live and work here for well over half a century. Kaye often says, “We have no secrets. You tell everybody everything.” I share what I have, except for pumpkin pie and turkey sandwiches.

I believe I was supposed to share my life and I’ve taken that obligation seriously. I began sharing good news and bad with people who listened to local radio in this region.

I knew early I should adopt a humble persona and decided to use a kind of radio nick name: Gordie Little, Who’s He? In other words, I’m nobody. What I do, such as playing records, interviewing people, reading news and weather and sports and sharing all of this with all with you, is the most important part.

That’s how it began and that’s how it continues, long after the radio career ended. I’ve been given the opportunity of doing a regular television program with Calvin Castine. I have written for this newspaper and another.

I’m allowed to write regular features for magazines. I’m happy to write and tell ghost stories, write children’s books and now—an adult coloring book.

For almost 36 years on the radio and during my tenure as a Crime Victims Advocate in Plattsburgh, I doodled while interviewing people. My doodles are odd, strange and very different. I signed and dated every one and Kaye saved them in boxes and drawers. The youngest of the Baker-Little offspring is Dr. Kirk Little, a psychologist in Ohio and Kentucky. He thrilled me by asking permission to “archive” those drawings—well over 5,000 of them. I agreed. He hauled them home and took many months to scan, photograph, categorize and catalogue every image and whatever news story, weather forecast or sports score might be on the other side of the paper they were drawn on.

Along came the adult coloring book phenomenon. It was a wave. I was led to grab my surfboard and ride. Those drawings, each signed “G.Little” and dated, revealed themselves as objects ripe for coloring. The signature looks like “Gittle,” thus the name “Gordie Little Gittles.” The book was printed and the fun began.

Who knows where this “Gittles” thing will lead? I’ll simply follow the yellow brick road or whatever color you choose to make it. Special thanks to Kim Mason, first to add her personal touch to a Gittle and post it on Facebook. Kaye says it should be framed.

I love to share everything about our “Little” house on the Saranac River and I am forever grateful for everyone who cares about what we do. Kaye and I hope you had the best Thanksgiving ever and that each day is better than the day before.

Missile site << Continued from | p. 1

In March, an unknown amount of water was pumped from the silo to allow for an inspection of the facility by a prospective buyer, a process that was not authorized by the permitting agency, the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Only after a spill was the incident reported to the DEC. Eight months later, the waters remain muddied for elected officials and residents in this town of 1,300.

“Does anybody know what they’re doing up there?” Supervisor David Blades asked attendees at a town board meeting earlier this month. “Does anybody know?”

The room remained silent.

SHORT-LIVED STRATEGY The federal government constructed 107 missile bases across the country during the early 1960s, a post-Sputnik reaction to the arms race.

The Lewis site is one of a dozen built in a ring around the Plattsburgh Air Force Base in the early 1960s, the only cluster east of the Mississippi River.

Millions were spent constructing the structures — the Lewis site cost $200 million — which were driven 18 stories into the earth and designed to withstand a nuclear blast.

Inside were Atlas F intercontinental ballistic missiles topped with nuclear payloads. Guarded by crews standing 24hour watch, the four megaton warheads packed a punch 32 times larger than the device dropped on Hiroshima.

But the sites became obsolete as soon as they were finished, explained Ed Peden, a Topeka-based silo enthusiast who has brokered the sale of 59 facilities, including the Lewis site.

One reason was because the launch process was complicated. Once elevated, rocket propellant and liquid oxygen would be required for lift-off, a volatile combination. Failures weren’t uncommon at test launches. Four sites, said Peden, had explosions within them while active, making their presence nearly as dangerous to the locals as they were to the Soviets.

“It did make local populations a target,” said Peden. “Some could have blown up on the launchpad.”

Once the structures were built — construction took twoyears, a non-stop process of pouring solid concrete — the military had developed rocket fuel, a far more superior material. Titan 2 missiles then became the next weapon du jour.

The silos were decommissioned after four years of use and sold as surplus property, with most going to municipal governments and salvage operations.

87 HALE HILL ROAD Once decommissioned, the Lewis site saw a variety of uses over the years, including as a research base for SUNY Plattsburgh.

Peden made quick business brokering the sale of these structures, working as a middleman between the government and private buyers.

In July 1997, he organized the sale of the site from a salvage operator to Alexander Michael for $160,000.

Michael, an Australian national, told Smithsonian magazine he had always been “enchanted” by the idea of having his own piece of military-industrial history.

Over the next two decades, the industrial designer gradually restored the site into a living space.

The finished house over the silo spans 1,800 square feet and was the subject of several glossy magazine profiles. Michael, who flew in twice annually to work on the project, threw lavish parties, held art installations and even gave himself a nickname — Silo Boy. By 2012, Michael had sunk $350,000 into the project. But the water continued to trickle in.

A 40-foot subterranean tunnel connects the home to the silo. A staircase winds down 125 feet into the bedrock, leading to two additional levels of living space, including the former launch control center encased in three-foot thick concrete walls reinforced with stainless steel mesh.

The retro chic belies a more sobering reality.

Over time, decaying electronic equipment and waste materials, including solvents and paint chips, have mixed with water that entered the silo through a ventilation shaft and the roof, which was kept open for decades because the 90-ton doors were unable to be closed.

It’s here where a layer of toxic sludge has accrued for the past half-century, encased in a layer of clear water.

Tasked with the clean up is a newly-formed LLC with no paper trail.

PUMP, CLEAN AND DUMP On May 14, a group called Diversified Upstate Enterprises, LLC, or DUE, filed a notice of formation with the secretary of state of New York.

Six days later, in Sydney, Australia, Michael signed an indenture of sale to DUE for $575,000.

A deed was then recorded in the Essex County clerk’s office on June 8.

Little else is known about DUE. Aside from a Washington, D.C.-based mailing address, the only other clue to their identity is that they, or someone affiliated with their organization,

www.suncommunitynews.com

would like to use the site as a center to monitor seismic activity, said Blades, the Lewis town supervisor, citing a brief on-site discussion.

Michael did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Work at the site has already begun.

Some water has been pumped into a pair of 20,000 gallon storage tanks and is awaiting treatment, said David Winchell, a spokesman for the DEC. On Sept. 14, the agency reviewed a state pollutant discharge elimination system permit, or SPDES, from DUE. If approved, the organization can then begin treating the water using a triple-filter process to remove contaminants, including lead, heavy metals and PCBs. Once cleared by samples and tests, the plan is to pump up to 40,000 gallons per day of the water into a low-lying stormwater pond adjacent to the silo.

Lead levels clock in at 15,200 mg/kg; PCBs, 17 mg/kg.

Once the sludge has been carted off-site and out of Essex County, any additional water that accumulates at the bottom of the silo will be pumped directly into the retainment area, said Winchell.

The water will require sustained monitoring.

The operation appears to be a standard one. But open questions remain, including those discussed by town officials at a meeting earlier this month, such as who will conduct the work, monitor the project and who, exactly, is behind the application.

The DEC has until Dec. 14 to issue or deny the permit, said Winchell. A decision will likely come before then. Pumping and treatment could begin immediately after the project is given the green light, with work expected to be completed in one week.

DARK WATERS Winchell admitted that while a permit related to the pumping and treating of water from a former missile silo is unusual, the agency issues many industrial SPDES permits each year.

The DEC conducted the usual notifications, he said.

Two days after reviewing the materials, the agency published a notice in the Environmental Notice Bulletin providing a summary of the project and seeking public comment.

Blades was provided notice of the complete application and notice followed in a daily newspaper two days later.

At least 20 residences are located within a mile of the property, which is located about five miles north of the hamlet.

Some homeowners feel as if they have been kept in the dark.

“That’s the part that is disturbing,” said Lanita Canavan, who lives nearby with Dan, her husband.

One local company, NYCO Minerals, has a policy of sending homeowners letters whenever work is being done that may affect them, said Canavan.

“The DEC does not run that way,” she said.

Blades, too, said the communication process between all parties — the state, homeowners, local officials and DUE — has been lacking.

“It bothers me because I think it’s important that we know what’s going on in our backyard,” said Blades.

Residents say the stakes are high because a leak or spill could not only degrade the environment, but could also contaminate the water supply.

“I’m deeply concerned,” said John Wimett, who lives on Route 9, about a half-mile downhill from the site.

Wimett’s water is derived from a spring-fed system sunk 11 feet deep in the ground.

Veins come down the hill and are collected in a cement box. A buried gravity-fed line draws the water into his house, where a basement pump prepares it for usage.

After learning of the plans through community chatter, Wimett drew samples and had them tested.

The results came back clean, with just trace elements of copper from the supply lines.

Wimett said now that he has a baseline, he will keep a close eye on the project. Three other wells spread across his 65 acres feed additional family residences.

“If something turns up after that, it’s kind of obvious where it’s coming from,” said Wimett. “I’ve used this water system for 50 years. I enjoy the spring water and am not ready to invest in a well if something should happen up there.”

Wimett, 74, has a long relationship with the site, which abuts his land to the west. The federal government even asked for an easement to gain access to the driveway that leads into the facility, which is set back from the road and restricted from public access.

Residents say they’re not necessarily opposed to the plan — removing the toxic elements may end up being a good thing, some pointed out — but were rather concerned about the lack of transparency surrounding the project.

Wimett’s daughter, Tina Bigelow, said the paucity of information is part of a troubling pattern that has always existed when dealing with the silo site.

Results from the water samples taken from the site in March indicated they did not exceed groundwater standards for any contaminants, said the DEC. But Bigelow said while she did not have any definitive proof, she couldn’t help but wonder if the site had negatively affected her health over the years.

“Every single one of us girls has had thyroid issues,” said Bigelow, a cancer survivor, citing a list of family members.

The North Countryman Sun • November 28, 2015 | 7

Many other residents in this tightly-knit community echoed similar sentiments, that folks just seemed to get sicker here.

Bigelow and her husband had a spring dug after building their home. Not long after, their second son was born.

The boy was sickly, suffering from fistulas and nausea. The Bigelows ran tests. When the results came back, they learned the water was loaded with bacteria and chloroform.

“The longer it was boiled, the browner it got,” Bigelow said.

Dye dropped into toilet tanks and sewers revealed those sources were not poisoning the spring, recalled her brother, Tom Wimett.

When the family broached the subject of the silo as a possible source of the contamination with officials from the state health department, they had an about-face.

“We’re done with the investigation,” Bigelow recalled the officials as saying.

They also advised them to obtain legal counsel.

The family left it alone. For years, they hauled water before grant funds allowed the town to conduct new drilling projects.

Since word started trickling out about the new buyers, Tom, who resides on Hale Hill Road, said he has noticed increased activity on the sparsely-populated street — like convoys of trucks moving covered loads in the middle of the night.

“Something’s fishy,” he said. “They’re messing with Pandora’s box once they start pumping that water out.”

NAGGING DOUBTS The water is currently safe to drink.

Due to the depth of the silo and the fact that it is built in watertight bedrock, it is currently not impacting groundwater and the drinking water taken from nearby residential wells, said Winchell.

Following the spill earlier this spring, a test well was installed on-site.

The applicant, said Winchell, plans on running a closed loop test of the system in which no water will be released before the permit is issued. Monitoring of these results will determine the effectiveness of the system.

“DEC is confident that the project will protect the water quality of nearby residential drinking wells,” said Winchell.

Canavan said while he suspects DUE will legally do everything right, he questioned their commitment to the environment.

He has visited the property in the past and said the proposed containment area appears to be undersized.

What would happen if it contaminated the surrounding area? he asked. Who would be liable? What about possible damage to Church Brook and the surrounding wetlands?

“It’s been proven time and time again that corporations and big government get it wrong environmentally on a heartbreaking, regular basis,” wrote Canavan in a letter to the DEC. Peden, the silo expert, said he was surprised that testing didn’t reveal the presence of trichloroethylene, or TCEs, byproducts from degreasing agents.

“It’s a very common contaminant found on Atlas sites,” said Peden, who lives in one. “It’s a nasty substance.”

The volatile organic chemical is a colorless or blue liquid with a chloroform-like odor.

According to the EPA, those who drink water containing the substance in excess of the maximum contaminant level for many years could experience problems with their liver and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

Peden said he didn’t want to raise alarm bells. But the US Corp of Engineers, he said, should be tasked with cleanup and remediation as part of their Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program.

“The state should not have to do those types of measures,” said Peden.

Local officials visited the restricted site in mid-October.

While they didn’t notice any activity, it doesn’t necessarily mean that something did not happen in the interim period, said Blades.

Prompted by audience members, Blades admitted the town was continuing to scramble for answers: Who will notify residents in the event of a spill? Who will be responsible for taking samples and testing the water?

“We’ll continue to try to make sure that what’s happening is legitimate,” said the supervisor, who is retiring at the end of December. “We will continue to monitor what goes on there as a town — it is our responsibility.”

Supervisor-elect James Monty said the town will send a formal letter to the new owners asking them to detail their plans for the site.

“It’d be nice to know what their plan is,” said Monty. “No one really formally knows.”

On a golden autumn afternoon, John Wimett motioned through the trees— stately firs, spruce and pines — up toward the site.

The sun glinted through the forest.

He used to watch tests in the early 1960s. The doors would open and the rocket would rise each morning at 5 a.m.

“It looked like a silver bullet,” Wimett recalled. “Now we don’t know what’s going on up there.”

City of Plattsburgh outlaws feeding of wild animals

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — City of Plattsburgh councilors approved a change in a law that will prohibit people from feeding wild animals.

The former city law from 1964 banned the feeding of only pigeons. However, Councilor Paul O’Connell wanted to expand the law after he received complaints from residents within his ward.

The law now prohibits people from intentionally feeding wild animals, including, but not limited to, raccoons, skunks, possums, coyotes, squirrels or within the city.

FUTURE ENFORCEMENT POSSIBILITIES Mayor James Calnon plans on meeting with City Police, Public Works and the Building Inspector’s Office to discuss how the amended law will be enforced.

Violators of the law could face a fine of up to $250 or up to 15 days in jail.

However, a setback, O’Connell said, could be people who unintentionally feed wild animals by leaving food for their pets outside, along with birds and feral cats, which is still allowed.

CATS NOT INCLUDED After doing research on the 1964 law focusing solely on pigeons, O’Connell brought up the resolution for the new law on Oct. 15, which, at the time, included feral cats.

“The addition of feral cats was a mistake,” O’Connell said.

“We did not want them included.”

O’Connell addressed this mistake during the meeting, which had a great turnout of people against the idea of including feral cats, including Elmore SPCA Shelter Manager Rebecca Burdo, who’s currently working with the rest of Elmore SPCA to incorporate a program that would help solve

Feasibility study

the feral cat population.

SPAY/NEUTER INCENTIVE PROGRAM SNIP would allow pet owners in Clinton County to go to Elmore SPCA, fill out paperwork and obtain a voucher that would be redeemable at a participating veterinarian office — a list that is still pending.

Pet owners would then use that voucher, which would be valid for 30 days, to make a partial payment toward the cost of getting their animals spayed or neutered.

The incorporation of this program, which they hope to have in place by year end, Burdo hopes will help decrease not only the feral cat population in Peru, but all over Clinton County.

“The community has spoken very articulately that they want the cat population controlled and they want us to take care of the problem,” she said. “This program is going to help stop this problem.”

THE COMMUNITY’S WELL-BEING Although the city chose not to include feral cats within the law, they included the other animals, declaring them a public nuisance and a menace to the health of the community.

The town council plans on looking into certain areas where there seems to be more of a problem with these animals and inform people of the potential dangers of feeding the animals.

“We didn’t want people to feed them and draw them in,” O’Connell said. “It’s dangerous.”

each other, not all houses have enough land to place a septic tank, so it has to be placed on an adjoining neighbors property, if they themselves have the room to do so.

The sewer systems currently on the residents property are getting old and in need of an upgrade. However, Menard said the new systems coming in are bigger with more drainage — leaving the town with the options to either incorporate a main sewer system for all the properties or continue the struggle of having individual tanks.

The study is going to focus on how to feasibly incorporate a main system and where to put it in order to provide sewer for all homeowners and business owners currently in the town and ones wanting to move into the town in the future.

“We want our residents to not have to worry about where their septic is going,” Menard said. “We would also like to bring in more industry to the town.”

Not only does each property has its own septic tank, it contains its own well for drinking water. However, the water isn’t desirable.

“The water in this village is terrible,” Menard said. “It’s very hard and rusty.”

The supervisor said that because of the quality of the water, he, and a majority of the rest of the town, buys and drinks bottled water.

If the town can afford to address the water issue, Menard said they hope to incorporate a town water system by drilling bigger and deeper wells in one location.

“If we can bring better quality water to the town, that would be great,” he said. “We want to help the town get nice drinking water.”

Menard said he anticipates the study to be done by June.

Champlain Valley Voices to perform holiday concert

By Natasha Courter

news@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Champlain Valley Voices will put on a festive performance of holiday classics next weekend.

Titled ‘A Joyous Nowell,’ the concert is scheduled for the Strand Theatre in Plattsburgh on Saturday, Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m.

On deck are Schubert’s “Mass in G Major” and Pachelbel’s “Nun danket alle Gott” with additional pieces by Gustav Holst, Pachelbel and John Rutter.

Champlain Valley Voices began as the Champlain Valley Ontario Society in 1983.

Faith Monzeglio, president of the board of directors of Champlain Valley Voices, said the choir is dedicated to two performances every year focusing on major chloral works.

The choir has a history of performing pieces by composers like Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart and Bach.

In December 2014, the outfit performed Handel’s ‘Messiah.’ The following spring, the group collaborated with the Adirondack Jazz Orchestra in presenting an evening of Big Band classics.

This will be the third time that the group has performed at The Strand Theatre.

Timothy Morningstar, an adjunct lecturer at SUNY Plattsburgh, has been recently hired to direct the choir.

“He has extensive choral conducting skills and is a superb vocal instructor,” Monzeglio said.

The choir meets about 12 weeks prior to performances, and they practice every Monday in the Meyer’s Fine Arts building on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus.

Member Ronald Goddeau encourages anyone who can or cannot read music to join the group.

“There are plenty of groups in the area for people who don’t necessarily want to get dedicated or cannot read music,” Goddeau said.

Champlain Valley Voices is a non-profit group who receives support from chorus and community members as well as local businesses and organizations.

Tickets are available from choir members and The Strand’s box office for advance purchase, or can be bought the night of the show.

General admission for the public is $14 advanced and $19 at the door; for senior citizens, it’s $12 advanced and $14 at the door; non-PSU students cost $10 and children cost $12. PSU students with an ID can get tickets for $4 at the door.

Tickets are also made available at the strandcenter.org.

A small orchestra and the famous restored Wurlitzer organ will accompany the choir.

Soloists include soprano Jo Ellen Miano, tenor Andrew Ellis, and baritone Jason Levesque.

Event to honor veterans in Old Post Cemetery PLATTSBURGH — As part of the national “Wreaths Across America Day” program, local members of the American Military Retirees Association and Lake Champlain Chapter NY1 invite the public to help honor veterans buried in the Old Post Cemetery.

This year’s event is being held on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2015 at noon at the Old Post Cemetery located on the corner of Route 9 and Lake Forest Drive.

The Old Post Cemetery, closed for new burials, is the final resting place for 136 unknown soldiers and sailors of the Battle of Plattsburgh. Additionally, 163 known veterans, many family members and Thomas Kelly, a Spanish American War recipient of the Medal of Honor, are also buried there.

This year’s event will mark the fifth year this cemetery has been honored as part of the Wreaths Across America

program, and it is hoped that attendance will be even better than previous years.

Area businesses, private citizens, schools, service groups, local veterans organizations and auxiliaries are invited to purchase wreaths for placement during the ceremony so that as many veterans graves may be honored as possible.

Wreaths are $15 each and may be purchased using forms available at AMRA National Headquarters or at the County Veterans Service Office.

Orders must be placed by Nov. 30 for this year’s event. Late orders will roll over to next year. People interested need not be present or live locally to sponsor a wreath, which will be placed by local veterans and others attending the ceremony.

A reception after the ceremony with cookies and hot cocoa for participants

will be available at the Valcour Brewing Company located at the Old Stone Barracks. For more information, call 5630038 or 565-4720.

RACE DETAILS The second annual Santa Sprint will take place Saturday, Nov. 28 at 9 a.m. starting and finishing at the Last Resort, where a small reception will take place.

Prizes will be given to the top male and female runners and walkers.

Day-of-race registration will go from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. at the Last Resort. It costs $20 for pre-registration and $25 the day of the event.

First 50 registrants will get a free T-shirt.
