Fred C. Keil, a local architect, volunteers at the Strand Theatre during the annual Day of Caring.

PLATTSBURGH — Government can’t do everything, especially when people cannot afford it, says Jerry Morrow.

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

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

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

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

projects.

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

“We felt it vital to the health of our community to reach out and support our nonprofit museums as well as for-profit attractions that were affected by recent natural disasters,” said Kristy Kennedy, Group & Event Specialist for the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau. “We encouraged volunteers from the tourism industry to step up and get involved.”

Local residents who didn’t have time to volunteer were able to participate by donating canned goods to Project H.E.L.P’s food drive. Students went door to door in Plattsburgh collecting donations “Project H.E.L.P. at SUNY Plattsburgh was

Community gathers to talk recreation and promote area

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Luke Cyphers wants to start a dialogue about the many recreational blessings Clinton County residents can enjoy.

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

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

He spoke at a recent gathering of the community and recreation experts at Platts-

burgh State called Recreation Opportunities in Clinton County. It was hosted by the Partnership for Community Development.

Cyphers moderated the event.

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

At least 51 percent of children in Clinton County are overweight and obese.

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

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

Steve Peters, Plattsburgh City Recreation Director, discussed the recreation task force and the ideas explored through that gather-

ing. The focus, he said, is on what will have the most impact with the least amount of effort.

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

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

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

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

Clinton County Recreation Director Molly Flynn discussed the programs she coordinates for area youth, while Melanie Defayette, Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Di-

rector, outlined what the town has to offer.

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

Local businessman Neil Fesette suggested the three entities combine, joining forces to offer more programs while saving money. He suggested the area create a local parks and recreation institute.

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

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

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

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

PLATTSBURGH — Denied access to the Plattsburgh streets they’ve taken to in the past, hundreds of women marched within the walls of Plattsburgh State.

“Two, four, six, eight, no more date rape.”

They gathered April 21 for the annual Take Back the Night event, singing, listening to music, offering support, sharing stories of horrific violence and abuse and claiming their status as survivors. Similar events occurred around the world, with men and women marching in the streets to raise awareness of violence against women.

“We need the whole world to hear the chanting going on,” said Martha Stahl. “There is a war on women in this country, and we all need to stand up together.”

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

“We are demanding respect and equality,” said Jamila Hinton, a Plattsburgh State student and president of the Center for Women’s Concerns.

Dr. Simona Sharoni, director of the Center for Gender and Women’s Studies at Plattsburgh State, said she was in awe of the power of survivors.

“I hope this sends a message to our elected officials,” she said. “We went there with the assumption they will support our right to be safe in the streets.”

Take Back the night marches have occurred in the United States for more than three decades.

Last year, more than 350 people took part in the local event.

Despite marches in the street in past years that were carried out with the assistance of local law enforcement, Plattsburgh’s Common Council voted to restrict this year ’s event to the sidewalks, saying they never intended it to occur in the streets.

City officials said that last year police provided assistance because the march coincided with a Girls Gone Wild event held at Therapy Night Club and Sport Lounge.

Bobby Sheehan questioned where all the men were at the April 21 event at Plattsburgh State. Men have power and privilege, said the Plattsburgh State student, and should use it to challenge other men. It is not enough to say, “you are a good guy,” he said.

“That is the bare minimum,” Sheehan said. “We as men have to put a stop to it and say, ‘No more.’”

Those gathered march during the annual Take Back the Night event.

Students handed out protest signs and marched around the room chanting, pausing to listen to music before the lights dimmed and survivors shared their personal stories, some for the first time.

A woman walking back from a downtown Plattsburgh bar was mistaken for a man and beaten. When her attacker discovered she was a woman, he raped her.

She recently saw him on campus.

A woman describes how, as a child, her mother, who wanted a boy instead, smashed a bottle over her head, and when she was crying in her walker pushed her down the stairs.

Another woman whispers in the darkness that it’s been nine years since she has seen the father who beat her.

A woman cries, not because her mother beat her all her life, but because when the mother no longer wanted her and pulled a knife on her, she had to defend herself and hit her mother.

A female student is at a college party. She is drunk and a young man begins to force himself on her in front of others.

Nobody tries to stop him.

A young woman walks home, only to wake up in the hospital. She can’t remember anything and reads the police report to discover she was found half-naked and bleeding in the street.

Another woman recalls being placed in daycare by her working mother, because her father was too drunk to watch her. She was five-years-old and much older girls intimidated her and forced her to perform sex acts.

Increase sensitivity to women’s issues

I

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

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

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

She was ready to live.

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

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

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

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

In 2006, 232,960 women in the United States were raped or sexually assaulted, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey.

That’s more than 600 women daily.

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

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

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

some find acceptable, funny and harmless.

Meanwhile, a young woman walks down the street, minding her own business as a group of men cat-call and objectify her. That’s wrong for any woman to endure, but imagine if that woman had been victimized in the past and has difficulty walking by any men, let alone ones who treat her like a meal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Handling the GOP’s hot potato

By Glenn Scherer

T

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

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

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

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

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

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

This year ’s weather trends could further erode voter patience with the GOP. This March, the nation shattered more than 15,000 heat records in a single month.

And more scorchers are likely on the way, with above-normal temperatures predicted across most of the nation through November, says the U.S. Climate Prediction Center. Worse, nearly two thirds of the country — 39 states — is al-

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

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

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

The U.S. endured a jaw-drop-

ping 14 major weather disasters in 2011. Each cost $1 billion or more in damages and their total cost was $53 billion. Extreme weather is now increasing prices on everything from beef to cotton clothing to peanut butter. Add to that the tragic loss of human life, and the on-the-ground impacts of climate change are becoming hard for voters to ignore.

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

If the global warming public opinion pendulum swings decisively against Republicans in this election — or in the midterms or in 2016 — it will leave the GOP with little maneuverability. With the party’s purse strings tightly tied to big oil, coal, and natural gas interests, the Grand Old Party

cannot change its position on climate change without taking a huge hit to campaign coffers.

Strangely, the more climate change evidence has become irrefutable, the more Republican politicians have become entrenched against it, and the shriller their position has become.

With 97 percent of all scientists now saying that global warming is happening and is humancaused, according to the National Academy of Sciences, and with the weather proving that assertion, the die is cast.

It could prove a long hot summer — and century — for red state Republicans heading home to campaign among constituents whose lives are being made miserable, and whose economic fortunes are being ruined, by scorching temperatures, droughts, deluges, and waves of tornadoes.

Tactfully declining an invitation I

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

A good way to start is to prioritize events and people in your life, leaving room for a balance of work, family, relationships, recreation and personal time.

This clarifies how much time you have to devote to each area and possibly provides a rubric to help you honestly express yourself.

You might find that you want to spend time with certain people, but that doing so is not convenient immediately. In this case, maybe you could set a date in the future. What

ecently, we at the NCSPCA have been promoting our Facebook page, which is the go-to place for news, adoption stories, information about upcoming events, and a is place to share information with your animal-loving friends. It's growing into a vibrant community; we hope that rather than simply stopping by for a visit, you decide to become a part of it.

In fact, a generous donor has stepped up and offered to contribute $1 for every new "Like" we receive between now an June 1! It's simple; the more "Likes" we get, the more dollars we receive for the cats and dogs in our care. So, please, visit us at Facebook.com/NorthCountrySPCA and be sure to press the "Like" button, and if you have adopted an animal from our shelter, we would be delighted if you would take the time to share your story with us!

Our featured pet this week is Delgato, a handsome, brownand-white Hound-mix who came in with his buddy Dojoe, who is a Siberian Husky / Shephard-mix.

These two fellows are so attached to each other that they are currently sharing one of our bigger kennels. Delgato has a sweet disposition and great leash manners.

He can be a little shy until he gets to know you, but quickly warms up to attention and has a gentle, loving nature.

Delgato enjoys meeting other dogs and we feel he would make a wonderful addition to almost any family.

If you have room in your heart — and your home — why not adopt both Delgato and Dojoe? You will have no shortage of doggy kisses and love!

Spirit Airlines steps up to fill the void stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Spirit Airlines is increasing its flights from two to three times weekly between Myrtle Beach and Plattsburgh.

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

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

account.

A judge recently ordered DirectAir to liquidate its assets.

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

The Chamber and county also continue to encourage new service from Plattsburgh to Punta Gorda, which was successfully served by DirectAir. “We have made the case to at least four carriers for their

consideration and will be making a couple of visits in the next few weeks,” Douglas said.

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

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

“We're pleased Spirit has decided to pick up these routes during the Myrtle

Beach area's busy summer travel season,” said Brad Dean, President and CEO of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce/CVB. “Access to affordable air service into the Myrtle Beach area is crucial to building our tourism economy.”

Spirit Airlines, an ultra low-cost carrier that operates throughout America and is headquartered in Miami, Florida, recently apologized and pulled an ad that spoofed the Secret Service prostitution scandal.

It featured women in bikinis and heels standing near a

message that read “More Bang For Your Buck: Upfront Payment is Required.” It also featured a man in a black suit, shades and earpiece with his finger over his lips.

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

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

PSU earns top ranking

By Stephen Bartlett

83127

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — International students have a thing for Plattsburgh State.

In fact, in terms of overall satisfaction, the college is No. 1 in the United States in one ranking and No. 2 in the world in another.

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

According to the Fall 2011 International Student Barometer, Plattsburgh State ranks No. 1 out of the 18 participating universities in the United States and No. 2 out of the 208 in the world for overall satisfaction. Last year, Plattsburgh State ranked No. 1 out of 13 for overall satisfaction in the United States and No. 3 out of 203 in the world.

Plattsburgh State also ranked No. 1 in the United States and world for learning support and performance feedback, ability to make friends, housing conditions and Office of International Student Services.

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

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

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

Schools participating in the survey, from America and overseas, included Oxford, Edinburgh University, St. Andrews University, George Washington University, Kent State University, Drexel University, and North-

eastern University.

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

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

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

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

“The staff in International Student Services at SUNY Plattsburgh interacts frequently and honestly with prospective students and their families in order to be sure that they have enough information to make an informed decision about enrollment.”

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

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

The survey also indicated areas that need improvement.

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

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