stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Disinformation, or black propaganda, is intentionally false information spread deliberately with the goal of turning an untruth into a perceived reality.

It manipulates its audience, mixing some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies.

Local officials say it’s in the air.

Misinformation is false or inaccurate information, but

BANK ROBBERY

Activities keep residents spry at Meadowbrook

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – As the Castaways stood center stage, playing golden oldies, residents clapped their hands, tapped their feet, bobbed their heads and smiled, surrendering to the rhythm.

A few stood up and danced, moving to the band’s play list until their legs grew tired.

“We thought we would get a party going,” said Kim Clowney, activities director for Meadowbrook Healthcare in Plattsburgh.

The 200-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility has been recognized as the North Country “facility of choice” for short and long term care services since 1974.

Activities, Clowney said, are an important part of what goes on at Meadowbrook.

Stand-up for open mic in Plattsburgh

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – Raymond Wayman opened with weight loss and online dating.

He veered toward cute baby fat that loses its appeal as people age and admitted his lack of athleticism, the last kid picked at school.

But on Wednesday night, he was the first on stage for the new open-mic nights to be held every third Thursday at Olive Ridley’s in Plattsburgh.The goal is for stand-up to eventually spread throughout the region, with an event planned for Rouses Point.

“I’m not just here to make you guys laugh,” said Joe Portes, standing under the lights on stage.

Portes ranted about vegans who constantly discuss their diet and lifestyle choices with everyone within ear shot and pondered the beyond unhealthy name fast food has earned.

As Shane Cariffe took the stage, he called for rigorous driving tests for the old. He suggested examiners put a car on one end and a horse and buggy on the other and see which one the old person heads toward.

“Let’s keep Yoda off the highway.”

Speaking of highways, Cariffe felt there should be one for people who need to get somewhere and other for people who don’t.

The slow road could be dotted with “havea-nice-day” signs and the fast one, “get out of my way.”

Cariffe also demanded that people stop asking, “How was your day at work?”

“The question should be, ‘What’s your level of hatred for this job today?’”

Wayman said he started the open-mic night so people would have an avenue to try their comedy.

Wayman was often the guy in the group cutting up and making jokes as people told him he was funny.

“I always wanted to do stand up.”

But funny in a group is a far cry from funny on stage.

Wayman found little in the way of stand up in Plattsburgh and jumped across the lake to Vermont to take classes.

He found he could write a decent joke and did a show in Vermont.

“People laugh at your jokes and it is addicting.”

Sign up is 7:30 p.m. every third Wednesday with the show starting at 8. Each comedian gets roughly five minutes.

Wayman believes there is a need for stand-

up comedy in Plattsburgh.

“People want comedy.”

It’s the only profession that has to be practiced in front of a live audience to see if one is getting laughs, he pointed out. But over time, comedy acts and comedians improve.

“You don’t know what kind of reaction you are going to get,” Wayman said. “But I used to not be able to talk to anybody and this has me so far out of my shell it’s a little bit scary.”

Affordable Care Act upheld by U.S. Supreme Court stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Americans across the country cheered the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision upholding the Affordable Health Care Act. Americans across the country also booed the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision upholding the Affordable Care Act. Which side of the aisle one stood on seemed to largely be determined by one’s political persuasion, such was the case with Congressman Bill Owens, a Democrat, and his Republican challenger Matt Doheny.

The Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 to uphold most of President Obama’s health care law.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts, in the majority opinion, wrote that, “The Affordable Care Act’s requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may be reasonably characterized as a tax. Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness.”

“Now that the court has ruled, Democrats and Republicans must come together to implement the law, which includes making changes where appropriate to improve provisions that still need work,” Owens

said. “The goal has always been to expand coverage, improve health-care outcomes, and reduce costs for patients and providers. Now the debate is over and it’s time to move forward with those goals in mind.”

The health care law will reduce federal deficits by $210 billion between 2012 and 2021, according to information Owens provided from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

New York has been working with the federal government to establish a statewide health insurance marketplace as part of the law.

Roughly one million New Yorkers will gain health insurance coverage when the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented.

The state’s Division of Budget estimates $18 billion in savings over 10 years.

Owens stressed that the key provisions in the law that the Supreme Court preserved included preventing private insurers from placing lifetime limits on the coverage they provide, ensuring that the 10 million New York residents with private insurance coverage don’t have to worry about their coverage running out, banning insurance companies from dropping people from coverage when they get sick, keeping young adults on their parents plan until age 26, and ending pre-existing condition restrictions.

Matt Doheny, who hopes to unseat Owens, said the

law will result in possibly one of the largest tax increases in American history.

It will be a nightmare for the average upstate New Yorker, he said.

“My opponent has left behind a string of broken promises,” Doheny said.

“He said ObamaCare would pay for itself. It doesn’t. He said it would protect Medicare for seniors. It doesn’t. He said it would allow ordinary Americans to keep the health care plan they like. It doesn’t.”

The Affordable Care Act convinced job creators to stand on the sidelines, he continued, something that has lead to the jobless recovery, while keeping the economy “teetering on the brink of another recession.”

“Americans know this bill is bad for our country,” Doheny said. “We must repeal this bill and that’s what I’ll do to put America back to work.”

For Nancy Brown, the court’s action reminds everyone that enabling all Americans to obtain affordable, quality health care is important. And for the 122 million Americans with preexisting conditions, said the CEO of the American Heart Association, the decision will be met with a sigh of relief.

“No longer will they be denied coverage of charged high premiums because of their health status.”

In a nutshell, explained New York state AFL-CIO

President Mario Cilento, the Affordable Care Act “finally puts patients over corporate profits.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo thanked Obama and his administration, saying the Af-

fordable Care Act will provide millions of Americans nationwide and more than one million New Yorkers access to health care.

“We will continue to move forward with implementing

the health exchange that will lower coverage costs for New York’s businesses and help ensure that uninsured New Yorkers have access to health care.”

Viewpoint

The Burgh Editorial

False information can be harmful

I

t seems harmless enough. A reporter writes a story about a school program and a reader comments online that teachers do nothing all summer, and suddenly, the majority of comments revolve around that comment.

Or, a reader sends in a speakout submittal and moans about firefighters sitting around doing nothing.

Neither comment is remotely true, yet enough members of the public believe them, so the false statements spread and before you know it they have become reality for some.

To make matters worse, it’s budget time and many taxpayers now plan to vote no on the school budget, while the fire department suddenly looks like a good place for the city to cut.

Whether it’s misinformation or disinformation, these exaggerations and untruths often become the reality for a very large number of people.

Media organizations could institute stricter rules for reader submissions, but it is much more widespread than that.

Public meetings with public comment portions are notorious for inviting individuals who make exaggerated and false claims. Someone could come out and say that the union president is stealing taxpayers’ funds, the media could report the next day that the statement was false, and still, a large portion of the population, either because they were there or heard the comment through the rumor chain, believes the information to be true.

Again, that may not seem important, but it is, especially when budgets pass or fail by a couple hundred votes.

The municipality cannot suddenly become totalitarian and restrict free speech, but at the same time, it is pathetic when free speech used maliciously negatively impacts people, the budget process, an important decision, positions and more.

There are some steps that can be taken though.

As Plattsburgh Mayor Donald

Kasprzak suggested, public officials should maintain an open-door policy to ensure they are available to quell such rumors and provide constituents with the factual information.

Public officials also have a responsibility to speak up and speak out. If and when they know something exaggerated or false is being put out there, vigorously stand up to that untruth and shout the truth for all to hear.

The public itself also has a responsibility to receive information critically and not just believe it is true because it was heard or read somewhere. Verify the information and seek out sources that can verify the information.

This is especially important when the information coincides with one’s beliefs, politics and morality. Democrats, for example, have a tendency to take it on face value when a member of their party issues information, even if that information seems outrageous. Then, those same individuals will demand a ridiculous amount of sources if a Republican makes a statement as simple as the sky is blue.

The same can be said by so many groups. Frustrated taxpayers often need only hear one individual, even if it is public knowledge this person was just released from jail, say that the school district is spending money frivolously, and suddenly that information becomes fact without it being verified by anyone.

Finally, all of us, not just public officials, but all of us have a responsibility to speak out when false and exaggerated information is delivered to the public as truth. And while we cannot restrict free speech, there is nothing wrong with shaming someone who intentionally uses that right recklessly and maliciously.

You can’t make this stuff up

F

or someone who still considers himself a novice at writing a weekly commentary, I struggle coming up with a topic each week, frequently agonizing throughout the weekend, trying to play out some outlines in my head before sitting down in front of the computer Sunday evening to work up the first draft.

Somehow the folks in Washington and Albany continue to provide me material to work with and I hope for you the reader they are matters of interest, worth investing some time to digest.

Well this last week was a real bell ringer starting the landmark decision by the Supreme Court on the Affordable Health Care. Not only was the outcome a surprise, as most pundits had the odds on the Court’s finding at least a portion of the legislation unconstitutional, but the votes by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kennedy seemed out of character. In the 5-4 split decision the normally conservative Roberts opted to side with the more liberal justices, while Justice Kennedy, a moderate, who normally comes in on the side of the more liberal judges, opted to rule with the majority.

Going into the major ruling last week the Supreme Court, like most branches of government these days, hasn’t posted a high favorable rating among the American public. Prior to the most recent rulings the Rasmussen Report had the justices at a 34% excellent or good rating while 17% rated the court poor. After the rulings the excellent to good rating dropped to 22% while the poor rating had increased to 30%. Now I’m no expert on constitutional law or the voting records of the justices, but it seems to me that over the course of time based on the presidential appointments, justices bring a certain political slant to the bench. I do understand the justices are suppose to be impartial but let’s face it, in Washington to reach the level of the Supreme Court, the highest in our land and comes with a lifetime appointment, I must admit I am skeptical that all that political baggage can be left at the door. We carry a certain bias slant based on years of experience.

I can’t help but wonder given the time the Court had to deliberate the merits of the legislation, the positions on both side of the argument, the current public opinion regarding the Affordable Health Care Act and the opinion shared by many that the vote would come down to Justice Kennedy’s vote, but once it became apparent to the court members that it was to be a 5-4 split decision upholding the constitutionality by consid-

ering it a tax and not a forced mandate, that the justices did two things to posture the court. First, they found a soluDan Alexander tion to send the fiThoughts from nal decision on Behind the Pressline Affordable Health Care back to the people, leaving its future fate in the hands of the voters during the fall election.

Secondly, could Justice Roberts and Justice Kennedy once they realized nothing would change the 5-4 vote, reverse roles to give the appearance of a vote not along partisan lines? No nobody’s saying it, but one can’t help, in this political climate, to be skeptical, especially when Justice Roberts joked that now the court has finished its session he will go to an “impregnable island fortress.” I think the court punted the ball back to the American people and perhaps that’s where the final decision on this legislation should ultimately reside.

On the same day the court ruled on health care, we witnessed Nancy Pelosi lead more than 100 Democrats up the aisle and out of the House chamber to boycott the first of two Attorney General Holder contempt votes, saying Republicans were more interested in shameful election-year politics than getting their hands on documents for the Fast and Furious debacle. Instead of doing their jobs they stood outside and in unison shouted “Shameful – Shameful” showing their contempt for their Republican counterparts. It’s hard to respect the institution and these members with grandstanding such as this. Thankfully Democrat representative William Owens, who represents many of our readers, stayed on the floor and voted for “transparency.” Regardless of which way he voted, he did the job he was elected to do by staying at his post and registering his vote on behalf of his constituents.

Regardless of your personal feelings on health care, immigration or the Holder contempt hearings, the craziness of all these political tactics should leave us all wondering what’s the real truth, who can we really believe and how on earth can we get these people to stop the childish fighting and get to work solving the real problems facing our nation and our children?

Sometimes you just gotta get a little mad W

e’ve all felt it.

Your face grows flush, brow muscles move in and down and you stare, hard at your target as your nostrils flare and your jaw clenches. Suddenly, your heart rate increases, preparing you to move, and blood flow to the hands quicken in anticipation of striking, as beads of perspiration break out over your body.

Someone recently asked me why I would ever let myself become angry. That indiividual suggested I meditate and find balance in my life and ultimately rid myself of all anger.

I asked why anger was detestable, embarrassing and inappropriate.

Anger is an emotion related to one’s psychological interpretation of having been offended, wronged or denied, and it is normal and involves a strong uncomfortable and emotional response to a perceived provocation.

We are encouraged to express love, happiness and sadness.

But not anger.

We are told not to repress love, happiness nor sadness.

But keep anger to yourself.

All sorts of self-proclaimed gurus witness someone expressing anger and say, “The key is to remain calm. Let the anger pass through you and do not let it control you for even a second.” I’m positive each individual saying that has buttons, that if found and pushed, cause them to tip tables over and break statues of pagan gods.

Some seek the so-called root of anger and smile smugly and point.

When in reality, it’s as simple as someone was cruel to your kid and you’re in full Terminator mode. I would say to this emotion expert, “While you’re dissecting my response, I’ll be handling the situation, and I am perfectly fine with that.”

Some deem anger socially inappropriate. The bunch nearby can’t stop using the n word and you’re granddaughter is black, but don’t get ticked off. You’ve been laid off after 20 years so your company’s CEO can get his yearly bonus and

Stephen Bartlett

From the Editor’s Desk stockholders can dream of rolling in money, but don’t raise your voice and tell the place to kiss your butt on the way out the door.

Why is it not alright to get angry anymore?

The world is filled with examples of unjust actioons that are negatively impacting nearly everyone, yet we remain apathetic.

Nature initially developed anger to help keep us alive, as it sends signals to the body to help us fight

or flee and energizes us to take action.

Airstotle said anger was useful in preventing injustice.

It motivates us to stand up for ourselves and, at times, make positive changes in our lives and situations.

In fact, psychologists say suppressed anger may find other outlets, present as physical symptoms, and in some instance explode when muffled over time.

It’s important to point out that I am not speaking of habitually mismanaged anger that is consistently out of control, misdirected and overly aggressive. There is a clear difference, for example, between anger and abuse.

Someone who consistently abuses those around him or her, is not healthy.

It’s not alright to scream at Jane for winning the marathon because Joe didn’t give you the raise you wanted.

But in my opinion, it’s alright to shout when someone will not stop gay-bashing whether to a room of crowded people or a gay couple.

There’s nothing wrong with very

loudly and firmly telling your sister ’s husband to quit verbally abusing her or you’ll toss him out.

Sure, a therapist might say she needs to leave him, but until that day happens, if it was me, I’d be getting mad at him and showing him the exit.

Anger may not resolve a situation or teach a lesson. It may inspire more anger. But it can also inspire courage, shield someone weaker and provide an outlet for a perfectly understandable, and at times, appropriate emotion.

And c’mon, unless we band together, boiling mad, adequate health care, a decent wage and honest representation will remain out of our reach.

Sometimes you should just get intensely mad about something unjust and despicable.

Most of us would probably prefer to never get angry, but it can happen in life, and we shouldn’t feel ashamed about expressing our emotions.

Our life coaches, Style and Substance: advice on Internet dating Dear Style & Substance: I have a female friend, never married with no children.

She had a great government job for over 20 years and gave it up when she fell in love with an internet boyfriend, visited a few times and then moved out of state to be with him. She then realized that she did not know him fully until she lived with him, and found out that he was not the man for her. She returned to NY to no job and living with a friend to pick up the pieces of her shambled life. She cannot return to the government job, and her current job pays very little. Now she's depressed about her life and cannot move forward. What would you recommend for her?

Our first recommendation would be to acknowledge the mistake, take some time to debrief and maybe realize some overlooked warning signs. The next step is to forgive herself; with forgiveness comes the realization that she made a mistake and also learned from that mistake. During this time of reflection encourage your friend to think about the reasons she “gave up everything” to follow love, at least what she thought was love. Perhaps the mistake was not acknowledging a void in her life that caused her to react impulsively.

Whatever she is doing now, tell her to do it well and work towards something better. Whatever skills and success she had before her move, she most likely still has! She has been so busy beating herself up that she may have forgotten all of the good things she has to offer. Support for your friend is shown when you don't dwell on the past but

engage in healthy activities and communication together.

Debrief and reflect, then help your friend take action. Action steps such as creating a resume, attending classes on career skills, and meeting with a financial planner are all positive ways in which your friend can regain control of her life.

Getting a better job takes persistence and the ability to not take rejection too personally. Encourage her to get her resume in shape, practice her response to why she left that good job (using some humor will certainly humor the employer) and then just “throwing lots of darts at the job board”. If she can make this a routine in her life, she will get so she is not so emotionally wrapped up in each application, test or cover letter. Applying for a variety of jobs is an opportunity for reinvention and exploring areas of interest she may have pushed aside for the security of a steady and predictable job working for the government.

Getting involved in some new community activities is also a chance to restart her life. Attending new and interesting events with friends may just open her up to finding love and new friendships that she can let develop more slowly.

Mr. Rogers said, “that which is most painful, is most universal”, which in our interpretation means that we all have success and failures - we can all understand loss and gain. Owning the mistake or loss is half the battle, moving on is the other half.

Being a good friend means supporting and encouraging someone when they are down. Keep up the good work on your end as well!

Drug use a problem in local schools

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – Prescription drugs are a medicine cabinet away for young people who want to get high.

Teenagers never worried too much about trying K2 when they could legally purchase it at a local store.

In fact, young people say drugs are easy to find, if they want them.

“Prescription drug use starts at 12-17 and peaks at 18-24,” said Steve Hanson.

It’s a dead heat between males

and females.

“Take a look in your medicine cabinet,” Hanson said. “There are probably dangerous substances folks can have access to.”

Nearly 60 percent of pain relievers most recently used came from a friend or relative for free.

“Talk to your parents,” said DEA Special Agent James Burns. “Parents, talk to your kids.”

One out of four students at Plattsburgh City School is taking prescription drugs, according to High School Principal Glen Hurlock.

There are 9-12 drug-related discipline cases each year, though Hurlock said that is the tip of the

iceberg.

He is seeing cases where students are handing out prescription drugs.

Students throw “pharm” parties, at which pills are dumped into bowls and each person can grab a handful.

The district also has students with traumatic brain disorders from huffing drugs.

There are “driven” students who seek out Ritalin to try and increase their focus.

The number one problem was the synthetic marijuana students would purchase at local stores.

Plattsburgh has a huge mental health crisis with some people ex-

periencing difficulties obtaining proper mental health care.

“So people are self medicating with drugs and alcohol,” Hurlock said.

Plattsburgh High School Nurse Cheryl Maggy has seen clusters of students come in with cardiac issues only to be referred to a pediatrician and later admitted.

“We find pills in the hallways.”

Students say such examples of drug-related issues can be found at most area schools.

“A girl from our school in December was found dead in her bed, and the rumor was K2,” said Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School student Brody Hooper. “She actu-

ally died from overdosing on her mother ’s drugs.”

He knows of kids whose parents smoke in front of them.

Signs to watch for in youth are change of friends, loss of interest in hobbies, isolation, argumentative and mood shifts.

Experts say to keep the communication lines open, do activities together and parents should model behaviors they want their children to exhibit.

“Family has a large impact,” said Bonnie Black. “We need to teach parents with kids of middle school age.”

North Country vying for another round of funds

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – Round one dumped more than $100 million into the lap of seven North Country counties.

That large region in New York State then funded 70 projects focused on enhancing the economy.

Now, the state’s regions are competing for a total of $750 million, and the North Country wants a major share of those funds.

“This is an important process,” said Garry Douglas, president of the North Country Chamber of Commerce. “We need public participation.”

Douglas is co-chair of the North Country Regional Economic Development Council. He spoke recently at a public forum at Plattsburgh State to share information on the process.

For years, people have complained about how economic development is done in the state. It consistently

seemed to work against the smaller North Country communities.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo seems to understand this, Douglas said, and is doing something about it.

The North Country region is twice as big as others. All should have economic approaches specific to their region, Douglas said, stressing that regions must work collaboratively and not in competition with one another.

For projects to be considered, they should incorpo-

rate the council’s five-year strategic plan.

That plan includes energizing cities and villages, tourism, leading in green energy, and supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses.

“This year ’s competition is entirely about performance,” Douglas said. “We want to know what you are doing to implement the projects we funded.”

Plans should become a touchstone for future funding.

A priority plan will not be considered unless it meets stringent criteria. It must be transformative, stressed Douglas.

He further said it is unlikely a project that requires 100 percent funding will be approced.

“The state really wants to stretch its funding.”

Anyone interested or in need of further information should go to northcountryopenforbusiness.com or email: nysnorthcountry@esd.ny.gov.

Consolidated funding applications for priority projects are due July 16. Priority projects must be submitted

by July 27 at 4 p.m.

David Curry, president of the UUP at Plattsburgh State, requested that the council and interested parties keep in mind the needs of workers, such as health care. He pointed out that many people are having difficulties finding providers.

“That is one small piece to bring to the North Country.”

Developmentally disabled find a home

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – Theresa Garrow is only asking for a little open-mindedness.

Get past the disability, she says, and see people for who they truly area.

“They maintain that simple joy for life,” said Garrow, executive director of the Advocacy and Resource Center for Clinton County.

ARC started nearly 60 years ago as an organization of parents who wanted better lives for their children with developmental disabilities. They were tired of the lack of medical support and education, as well as the way in which many in society treated their loved ones.

Today, ARC provides vocational training, day habilitation, respite homes, transportation and clinical, nursing and residential services for the developmentally disabled.

“Our mission is to help people find personal achievement and reach their full potential,” Garrow said.

Everyone needs support in one way or another, and

people with developmental disabilities need different supports, she pointed out.

ARC helps them discover they are capable of more than they or even their families suspected.

This is evident often with the 143 individuals employed throughout Clinton County at places such as

Walmart, Sam’s Club, Mangia and in cleaning crews.

“They appreciate contributing,” Garrow said. “I think it is great our individuals are part of the community as opposed to being in the community.”

Garrow came to ARC in 1985 as an accountant, figuring she would give it a few

years.

“These people have kept me here.”

It hasn’t been easy, especially with more than $2 million in funding cuts over the past two years and only one base increase for employees in four years.

Still, the agency does the best it can with the revenues it has available.

Bob Manor is the director of day habilitation services and said at PATH roughly 100 people are involved in day habilitation activities.

The activities are individu-

alized based on interests and needs with the goal of obtaining various skills.

Individuals served by ARC also perform a lot of volunteer work in the community. Manor said that is important and shows them they can take advantage of services in the community and are a major contributor.

Volunteer activities include time at local horse stables and reading to children at area daycare facilities.

“Everything we do here is about skill building,” Manor said. “There is a lot of prac-

33471

tice within the facility and then real-life experiences outside.”

About 60-80 percent of individuals are out in the community during the day.

Kathleen Stygles is director of Champlain Valley Industries, which provides a structured work environment for individuals served

by ARC. Prevocational services focus on improving work skills and are provided in an industrial setting, supported by contract work obtained from local and state contracts.

“We are in business to help your business,” Stygles said. “We run a warehouse, which does assembling and packaging subcontract work and janitorial services.”

Companies CVI has contracts which include Monaghan Medical, Pactiv Corp, Schonbek, Georgia Pacific, Absorbtex, Fujitsu, MoldRite, Hampton Direct and Schluter Systems.

CVI is always looking for contracts, and anyone interested should call 563-0037.

“I think we are a real asset to the community, and we are giving developmentally disabled people an opportunity to learn and grow and train for eventual employment in the community,” Stygles said.

ARC serves roughly 550 people in Clinton County, and 128 of them live in the agency’s 22 supervised homes located throughout the area.

Of the 475 staff employed

by ARC, 250 work in the residential program. They participate in about 100 hours of paid training to ensure they are able to promote individual health and safety, consumer care and overall quality services in residential settings.

Residential staff assist in the smooth operation of the homes, ensure individuals are performing tasks as independently as possible, the home is neat and clean, personal care is taken care of and day habilitation services are being implemented.

The priority is the development of individual daily living skills and ensuring access to many opportunities for community integration.

Residential services strives to enhance, guide and support individuals to help them live independent and fulfilling lives.

Beth Davis, ARC public relations coordinator, has been documenting live at the homes through the agency’s newsletter.

“Going to the houses is my favorite,” Davis said. “They really do have a sense of family.”

Air conditioners available for low income PLATTSBURGH — New York State will offer assistance for low income New Yorkers to stay cool during the upcoming heat wave as part of the Annual Cooling Initiative.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced assistance for low-income New Yorkers whose health issues pose a medical emergency during the extended period of hot weather forecasted for the state in the coming days.

"The late spring and early summer have already brought several heat waves, which can be life-and-death matters for New Yorkers with serious medical conditions," Cuomo said. "Senior citizens and children are especially susceptible to heat-related illness, and this initiative will provide low-income homes with much-needed air conditioners so that New Yorkers have the assistance they need to stay cool and healthy."

New York State has set aside $3 million in funding through the federally-funded LowIncome Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for situations like this.

"I strongly urge eligible families and seniors to take advantage of this program to help keep their homes safe and comfortable.

As this heat wave moves across New York, it’s absolutely essential that seniors aren’t put at risk because they can't afford to keep their homes cool," said U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer.

Eligibility for the program is determined by: 1) LIHEAP low-income guidelines. For a four-person household, the maximum gross annual income to qualify is approximately $49,500.

2) Having at least one household member who has been diagnosed with a chronic or acute medical condition which is aggravated by exposure to extreme heat situations.

3) A doctor providing written documentation, dated within the last six months, that air-conditioning assistance is critical to prevent a heat emergency.

Households that have a working air conditioner or have received one from the State in the last 10 years are not eligible.

The program is administered by HCR with funding provided from the federal Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), through the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA).

Under the terms of the grant, one air conditioner will be awarded to an eligible household, with installation and labor included. Grants do not include an additional HEAP cash benefit to cover the cost of operating the air conditioning unit.

For more information call the Joint Cncl. for Economic Opportunity of Clinton & Franklin County at 561-6310.

PLATTSBURGH — The Rotary Club of Plattsburgh is currently seeking sponsors for its annual Bed Race Event, which will be part of the 2012 Battle of Plattsburgh Commemorative Weekend.

The bed race has become a signature event for the Rotary Club and enables the club to make thousands of dollars in contributions to local community organizations each year.

Some of the local organizations that have benefitted from the generosity of the Rotary Club of Plattsburgh over the last year include the Strand Restoration Project, Clinton Community College Foundation, Plattsburgh State Foundation, CVPH School of Radiology, Plattsburgh YMCA camperships, and the Plattsburgh Public Library, just to name a few.

A limited number of sponsorships are currently available at a variety of levels including the “King” sponsorship of $1,200.00, “Queen” sponsorship of $750.00, “Twin” sponsorship of $350.00, and $75.00 team entry sponsorships.

Activities from page 1 activities as well as bigger ones up to three times weekly.

“One of the greatest things it does is they get to be social with friends and family,” Clowney said.

Residents look forward to the activities, she said, especially the music programs.

Music is a great way to spark a memory and relive, said Laurie Marvin, community relations coordinator.

“It is a journey for them.”

And it can work as exercise. Zumba, for example, gets them moving their arms and cheering.

Other activities capture memories too, such as gardening. So Meadowbrook offers gardening, especially for residents who were once gardeners.

it is not spread intentionally. It is erroneous and not intended to mislead, though the impact is often the same, and while one is malicious and the other is not, the results are that reality is often lost in the muck of a messy untruth.

The tally of the misinformed has been growing like an untreated infection.

And local leaders say it’s beginning to stink.

“We have to speak up and start talking about this when it happens,” said Plattsburgh City School Board member Clayton Morris.

Voters recently approved Plattsburgh City School’s second budget proposal after overwhelmingly defeating the first. During the process, much false and exaggerated information circulated through the public about educators, the school system and taxes.

“If you are going to speak about what is going on in a situation, get the facts,” Morris said.

Morris was also upset about a local radio announcer challenging C. Joseph Staves, who is retiring as athletic director to save the district money as officials were forced to gut programs and also pointed out to people what would happen should the budget fail a second time.

The “Twin” level sponsorship and higher come with a package of promotional opportunities, including advertising with radio station Y106.3. For more information, contact Rotarian Keri Mack at keri.mack@heart.org before July 18.

The bed races will take place on City Hall Place in downtown Plattsburgh beginning at approximately 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8, which will follow the annual Battle of Plattsburgh parade and the Rotary Club’s Annual Roducky Derby.

The top three teams out of 32 entries will receive prizes ranging from $500-$100, and the team who is chosen for the “Best Themed” entry will be awarded $150. The prize money will be adjusted according to the number of teams registered. The full rules and regulations of the event, along with registration forms, are available online at www.plattsburghrotary.org.

More information about the Rotary Club of Plattsburgh is available online at plattsburghrotary.org.

fresh strawberries.

“We try to get something they did in their younger years,” Marvin said. “Our goal is to enrich their lives emotionally, physically and spiritually.

“We want to give them activities to look forward to.”

Many residents mark their calendars to let staff know which events they want to participate in.

Staff, in turn, keep track of who comes to events to ensure residents remain active.

Meadowbrook is always looking for volunteers to help with activities. Anyone interested should contact Clowney at 563-5440.

Jeanette Miller arrived at Meadowbrook this past February and enjoys the events offered there. She said they give patients something else to think about.

Miller also enjoys knitting and reading a good mystery, but the music activities are her favorite.

“I like the concerts they have,” she said. “Some of them are amazing.”

Morris said he is furious with the false and misleading information that is circulated through the public.

“I am infuriated by this,” he said.

“We need to speak up.”

Dr. David Stone, another Plattsburgh City School Board member, was slightly overwhelmed by his first year on the board and said it is as simple as reading Speakout in the newspaper to learn that people “don’t let facts get in the way of the truth.”

“It’s a tenor of our time,” Stone said.

“When we know people aren’t speaking factual, we need to ask them to check the facts.

“There was a lot of misinformation around the budget vote. It is fair to ask people to be factual.”

Plattsburgh City Mayor Donald Kasprzak said one of the most unfortunate situations that occurs in government is the false information provided by irresponsible people during the budget process.

Not too long ago, during a publiccomment period, Kathryn McCleery, the mother of a city firefighter, accused the city of losing $1.2 million in donations to buy a new ladder, having inadequate equipment to protect senior citizens and providing unsafe drinking water.

The accusations were investigated and found without merit, but the information leaked into the ears of everyone at the meetings.

“I have been dealing with this for

many years, and it is very challenging,” Kasprzak said. “What I hope is that a majority of taxpayers have enough confidence that I am providing accurate information and that those who obviously have a different agenda than the truth don’t have a serious impact during the process.”

The mayor said he strives to be direct and encourages people to contact him with questions.

“It becomes very frustrating when certain groups provide misinformation for whatever reasons.”

Inside the FLW Tournament T

hey came, they fished, they caught ‘em. The final FLW Major fishing tournament of 2012 concluded last weekend on Lake Champlain with outstanding results. The competitors caught bags and bags of five fish limits and dozens of 20-pound stringers, the bench mark of a great day of bass fishing. Hang around any

By Howard Hammonds group of pro fisherman very long and the “dock talk” soon turns to how many 20-pound limits were caught in practice. Seldom does the hype turn into reality. Instead, the after tournament talk is usually all about how many big ones were lost and where did the fish all disappear to.

Last weekend, however, the talk around the FLW Fun Zone on Saturday and Sunday at the Plattsburgh State Field House was all about how great the fishing was and how many big bags of fish were caught. One would have to wonder who really got caught, the fish or the fisherman, as many of the pros spoke about how they couldn’t wait until next year and a return to Plattsburgh.

As he expected (along with many tournament insiders) David Dudley won the tournament taking home the $125,000 grand prize along with another $100,000 for his third FLW angler of the year championship.
