PLATTSBURGH — Mary Alice Shemo can trace her roots back to the founding fathers.

She was raised to be proud of America.

But today, her country often confuses and infuriates her.

“Our founding fathers would turn over in their graves,” Shemo said.

That dismay became a catalyst, inspiring her to help form People for Positive Action, a small group of individuals who meet in Plattsburgh to give voice to

Students excited for fall at Clinton Community

By Stephen Bartlett

PSUC enrolls most diverse class in its history.

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – Donna Ashline works at the hospital and noticed a difference in the nurses.

The graduates from Clinton Community College seemed more patient oriented.

Now, the LPN from Cadyville is attending CCC full time in hopes of earning a spot in the nursing program.

“I want to be an RN,” Ashline said.

CCC started its fall semester with a new logo and new brand identity, an elevated student profile and record international student numbers.

“I’ve been going here off and on for four or five years, but I am full time now,” Ashline said.

She graduated high school in 1983, but said faculty and staff at CCC helped her re-enter the academic world.

“So far I am liking it,” she said. “They have everything you need here.”

Tyrell Herring and Maxine Wallace are studying criminal justice at Clinton Community College this fall.

New principal this year at Saranac Elementary School

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com SARANAC — From an early age, Tracy Manor enjoyed motivating others and inspiring them to reach their maximum potential.

Now, she hopes to inspire students, faculty and staff at Saranac Elementary School as the new principal, returning to the district she previously worked at as an administrator.

She replaces Marguerite Tamer, who is retiring.

“I am looking forward to returning to Saranac as the Elementary principal and working collaboratively with the faculty, staff and administrative team,” Manor said.

Tamer pursued a career in education because she has a passion for teaching. She loves children and wants to be a positive role model in their lives.

As an undergraduate majoring in Biology she spent time as a teaching assistant and discovered a unique ability to ignite a “spark of interest” in areas students never thought they’d be interested in.

During this time, she also became a group exercise instructor, which provided her with additional teaching experience outside of the traditional classroom.

“I started to teach exercise classes at a local high school, and that solidified my career choice.”

Manor taught 7th-grade life science, 8th-grade physical science and accelerated science for at-risk students at Beekmantown Middle School for 11 years. She also coached cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field and coordinated the district’s fitness center.

“I strongly feel that extracurricular opportunities for students are critical for strengthening student engagement and are extensions of the traditional classroom,” Manor said.

As a teacher, she enjoyed observing her students working hard and taking responsibility and pride in their academic work. Manor loved watching them build confidence as they grew socially and emotionally.

She also enjoyed working closely with a team of teachers.

“The toughest challenge was meeting the needs of all my students through diversified instruction and/or more intensive interventions, with limited resources.”

Manor is student centered and believes every child can learn and should be expected to reach and exceed his or her academic and social potential. That should be done by focusing on strengths and providing the most targeted interventions and supports if academic and social deficits arise.

Relationship building is critical to ensure student success, Manor said.

“Building positive relationships between all stakeholders in a school community is imperative.”

For the past two years, Manor has served as Middle School Assistant principal for Beekmantown Central School.

Prior to that position, she was assistant high school principal at Saranac Central School for about two years.

Manor received a bachelor ’s degree in biology and a master of science degree from Plattsburgh State. She completed additional graduate course work through Plattsburgh State and the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.

She holds a permanent 7-12 biology teaching certification and a New York State School District Administrator Certificate.

Manor enjoys spending time with family and is an avid outdoor and fitness enthusiast. She has completed in 12 marathons and is currently training for the Marine Corps Marathon in October.

“Mrs. Manor ’s experience and education background will enable her to immediately build upon the excellent academ-

Tracy Manor ic reputation of Saranac Elementary,” said Superintendent Kenneth Cringle. “I enthusiastically look forward to working with Mrs. Manor as we strive toward increasing achievement and success for all students.”

Community partners needed at Plattsburgh State stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — It takes minimal commitment, yet it provides an international student with a sense of home away from home.

Suddenly, settling into America doesn’t seem so foreign.

It provides locals with a glimpse into another culture.

“This has been going on for six years,” said Michelle St. Onge, coordinator of Partners in Cross-Cultural Learning at Plattsburgh State.

And it needs more volunteer community partners.

This fall, more than 350 international students from 72 different countries are enrolled at Plattsburgh State.

The university enrolls roughly 100 new international students each fall, and 30 new ones each spring.

To help students feel comfortable in their new home and learn about American culture off campus, Partners in Cross-Cultural Learning matches interested community members with first-year international students for cross-cultural social events and friendships.

“Students do not live with their community partners,” said Christine Pawlowicz, graduate assistant for Partners in Cross-Cultural Learning. “They are still on campus.”

The program is sponsored by the Global Education Office at Plattsburgh State and provides students an authentic experience of life in the United States.

It also gives local residents a glimpse into different cultures through interactions with students.

The social exchange allows international students to establish a friendly and supportive link to the community.

“We offer each new student an opportunity to connect in a home away from home,”

St. Onge said.

Each semester, students are matched with community residents and meet about once a month according to their own schedules for formal activities such as family dinners.

Partners in Cross-Cultural Learning also coordinates various social activities throughout the semester such as apple picking, maple sugaring, ice skating and sledding parties.

There are currently more than 50 volunteer and international student partnerships through the program.

There was a huge response from students for the fall semester.

“We are looking for new community members,” St. Onge said. “We always need more.”

That relationship can mean so much, she said.

For example, there have been instances where a student was hospitalized during the first week of school, and that student’s community partner was there.

“This helps students feel comfortable,” St. Onge said. “It is also the type of program that not only attracts, but retains students.”

Plattsburgh State has been recognized for its international efforts. International students responding to a survey by the International Student Barometer ranked the college No. 1 out of the 18 participating universities in the United States and No. 2 out of 208 in the world for overall satisfaction.

“This school is really conducive to studying,” said Dimitri Turner, a Plattsburgh State student from St. Kitts and Nevis. “I would recommend it to any other student.

Coming here has opened his eyes to so many differences in the world and provided him with a new outlook on life.

“It is a great way to see the world.”

Community members who participate often gain a new perspective, too.

St. Onge said Community members volunteer in the program for a variety of reasons, such as their own international experiences,

Burgh Editorial

The North Country is a great place to learn

A

s another season of school gets under way, the region’s community colleges continue to provide a quality education at a good price.

The North Country enjoys Adirondack Community College in Queensbury, North Country Community College in Saranac Lake and Ticonderoga and Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh.

These institutions are gems residing within their surrounding communities.

Adirondack Community College, founded in 1961, serves Warren, Washington and northern Saratoga counties and offers more than 30 academic programs.

North Country Community College, founded in 1967, serves Franklin and Essex counties. It has received both state and nationwide recognition for its academic programs.

Some people refer to Clinton Community College as “Harvard on the Hill,” a nickname that leaves those not in the know wondering what it is all about.

Driving up the hill one notices the beauty of its historic buildings, which housed presidents who ran the country from the scenic location that was once a hotel.

The view of Lake Champlain stops you in your tracks and you imagine yourself sitting on the balcony reading a book or writing a research paper as a college student.

Students, faculty, administrators and area business leaders say CCC has more than earned its academic reputation.

Typical learners fresh out of high school flock to it, and adult learners are quickly embraced into the CCC fold as one of its own, helping them ease back into life as a full-time student, providing them with the tools to exceed and shine and sending her off with a solid academic foundation.

Students and their families consistently provide glowing recommendations of the school. Many say the professors worked them hard, but were kind and helpful, and the school provided all the resources they needed to succeed.

CCC’s programs are renowned in the state and beyond, as reported in national ranking achievements and studies, such as one from Fletcher Allen

Health Care in Burlington, VT that praised registered nurses who graduated from CCC’s nursing program over graduates from other institutions.

CCC’s nursing program should be a significant source of pride for the institution, and the region should be proud that such skilled, patient-oriented nurses graduate from the school.

It’s not an easy program to get into and it is rigorous to complete, but that, among other aspects, is what distinguishes it.

Whether it be educating college students, training or retraining the workforce, or treading in the forefront of today’s technology, the school has consistently impressed.

Graduates of any of the school’s programs consistently say they were overwhelmed by how much they learned at the school, humbled by the professionalism and helpfulness of their professors and feel prepared to go on to the next stage of their lives, whether it be the workforce or a transfer to a fouryear school, usually Plattsburgh State, another stellar institution this community is fortunate to have.

The faculty and staff at CCC, NCCC and ACC excel in their roles.

Faculty members don’t hide the fire for the job — it is in their eyes, at the tips of their fingers and it dances off their tongues as they describe their courses and students. Students are fortunate to have knowledgeable professionals who care deeply.

CCC now enjoys a diverse class, hungry to learn and hopeful for the future.

Whether they come from China or Clinton County, and whether they are 18 or 50, they are in good hands and on the path to a bright future.

Adirondack and North Country community colleges are no doubt excited about their incoming classes as well and eager to delve into a new school year.

No matter which of these institutions students choose, they will not be disappointed with the education they receive.

Another one bites the dust

B

ack in June I used this column to question if there will be a daily newspaper in our future. Last week, our neighbors in Syracuse learned the answer to that question the hard way concerning the future of The Post-Standard.

Newhouse Newspapers, who announced in June that it would stop printing the daily paper The New Orleans Times-Picayune and its Alabama newspapers in Mobile and Birmingham, said last week it would end the daily distribution of two more of its newspapers, The Post-Standard in Syracuse and The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. Both papers will begin merging their content with their local news web sites, syracuse.com and pennlive.com, while delivering the printed newspaper only three days a week. Starting in January, The Post-Standard will publish only on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

The news prompted hundreds of comments by readers on both web sites, who expressed their concern about life without a local, seven-day-aweek newspaper. One such note said: “We grew up with the paper, and Dad reading us the Funnies every Sunday. Every Christmas, Dad also read us the famous response that Francis Parcellus Church of the NY Sun wrote to little 8-yr. old Virginia Hanlon: ‘YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS. He exists as certainly as love and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were No Santa Claus. This news feels like ‘NO SANTA CLAUS’... another tradition gone.”

Another person commented: “As we bemoan the death of the daily paper, brace yourselves for what is certain to be a very painful round of layoffs. I suspect we are going to lose some of our favorite columnists and reporters in the name of cost-reduction. I know I wrote this yesterday, but in New Orleans they cut 49 percent of the newsroom and in Birmingham, 60 percent. This does not bode well for the more senior staffers.”

A newspaper is more than words printed on a page. Newspapers were created to serve a purpose, and that purpose was not to be a cash cow.

On the contrary, the newspaper is the cheerleader, the whistle blower, the watchdog and the major economic booster for a community and the region it serves. Despite the popular belief that newspapers can’t compete with today’s technology, the simple truth is this move isn’t really about competition or technology. If the primary mission of a newspaper is to inform the community, the method by which the news is distributed shouldn’t leave people in the dark, nor should it be an excuse to cut expenses and jobs.

If those five newspapers were locally owned by an active member of the community, someone who was a professional newspaper publisher, we would not be seeing this same solution to the perceived problem in five different areas. This action to remake their news delivery method is an attempt by senior management to keep more

money for their shareholders, and the community will just have to live with the disappointment of less access.

Consider some basic Dan Alexander numbers: At a blended Thoughts from rate of 65 cents per Behind the Pressline edition, and an average of 70,000 copies per day, the Post Standard will lose $45,500 per day in circulation revenue for the four days per week they will stop delivering. That is $182,000 per week and $9.464 million per year, assuming they don’t raise the price, which they most certainly will. That number doesn't even take into account the tens of millions of dollars in advertising revenue they will lose in making this transition. Jobs will certainly be lost, and Central New York and the Capital Region of Pennsylvania will suffer as a result. Under a local family ownership, the needs of these communities would have been better addressed because they would have listened to their readers, community leaders and advertisers. The solution would not have come from a board room, but from the community.

The auto industry leadership at one time was so arrogant they felt they could produce substandard vehicles. They learned a hard lesson: If they don’t provide an outstanding car for the American public, someone else will. Hence we have an American car industry now trying to play catchup with foreign manufacturers. In time the newspaper publishing industry will come to its senses and realize if they produce a better product, in keeping with the wishes of their customers, circulation and profits will follow.

One last comment from a wise Post-Standard reader: “Why pay $1 per day for something that you can leisurely read on your patio when you can spend several hundred dollars every couple years chasing the newest technology so that you can become one of the zombies I see everywhere glued to their smartphone, Ipad, etc. instead of making personal connections by actually talking to people? The newest trend I have been observing is seeing parents (mostly moms) taking walks or sitting in the park incessantly texting instead of conversing with their young children.

Technology is good but not every aspect of it is.

We have raised a generation of college kids who have trouble conversing yet can bang out 10k texts per month or tweet well into the early morning thereby contributing to bad sleep habits that contribute to the obesity epidemic. For the record, I have a smartphone, IPad, and laptop so I am not a technophobe. I merely am one who uses it to "add value" to my life, not overtake it.”

What happened to the benefit of the doubt in society?

I s it easier and more fulfilling in life to assume the worst and consistently send a message to others that we expect the worst in them and think the worst of them?

Many of us consistently do this when the individual on the other end of our assumption has shown, through years of actions, that he or she will deliver the best, and not the worst, no matter how dire or negative circumstances seem.

And even if someone displays a track record of the worst, do we assume that no one changes? Do we consistently tell them they are incapable of change? If so, why waste money on rehabilitation and therapy?

David Foster Wallace, a brilliant and compassionate writer who sadly hanged himself in 2008, said during a speech that a “huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be automatically certain of is, it turns out, totally wrong and deluded.”

One example was the belief he was the center of the universe, according to his immediate experiences.

Wallace said people rarely talk

about this “natural, basic self centeredness, because it’s so socially repulsive, but it’s pretty much the same for all of us, deep down. It is our default setting, hard-wired into our boards at birth.”

We are the center of all our experiences.

Wallace assured his audience he wasn’t going to preach about socalled virtues such as compassion, because, in reality, it was not a matter of virtue but a matter of choosing to do the work to alter or get free of “my natural, hard-wired default setting, which is to be deeply and literally self centered, and to see and interpret everything through this lens of self.”

Wallace provided an example of someone heading home at the end of the work day, tired and stressed out. You hit the grocery store and traffic is bad and it takes long and everyone is trying to squeeze into the grocery store, filled with hurried people with carts, slow old people and kids who block the aisle. The checkout is long and the lady working it, frantic.

You drive home through slow traffic riddled with SUVs. And this is where the work

Stephen Bartlett

From the Editor’s Desk comes in, Wallace said.

Do I really need to be pissed every time I shop and run on default thinking these situations are all about me and my hunger and fatigue and desire to get home? Do I really need to operate thinking everybody is in my way, and that the SUVs on the way home suck and are polluting the planet?

That is the easy, automatic way people often experience adult life as the center of the world.

Instead, Wallace suggests, is it

not possible some of the people in SUVs have been in horrible accidents and find driving so traumatic they need to be in huge SUVs? Perhaps the Hummer that cut you off was being driven by a father whose child is hurt, and he’s trying to get to the hospital?

He would in fact be in a more legitimate hurry than you, and you, in fact, are in his way.

Wallace said: “If you’re aware enough to give yourself a choice, you can choose to look differently at this fat, dead-eyed, over-madeup lady who just screamed at her little child in the checkout line – maybe she’s not usually like this; maybe she has been up three straight nights holding the hand of her husband who’s dying of bone cancer.”

I admired Wallace for saying those things, not because I find it admirable, but because I believe a bit of hard work would go a long way in making this world a more compassionate place to live in.

People often say, “This is who I am.” But in fact, this is who you were socialized since birth to be, and if you want to, you can create a whole different self, one that per-

haps yells less and provides the benefit of the doubt more.

It’s not easy, changing the way our brains have become hard wired, but it is worth it, especially if you do not like parts of yourself and are not pleased with how your actions impact the world.

I remember at Fletcher Allen, I was in the parking garage and I was trying to park and had to back up some and this man stopped behind me, honked and flipped me off. I ran into him on the way in, threatened him with physical harm and told him I was on my way to see a loved one in rough shape and didn’t need to deal with his crap.

He was dying of cancer.

I ran into him later, in Plattsburgh of all places, and apologized.

I haven’t been perfect since then, but I try because assumptions usually leave me with a foul taste in my mouth and providing the benefit of the doubt, even if it backfires, leaves me happier and also infuses a little positivity into someone else’s day.

Our life coaches, Style and Substance: Facing life decisions Dear Style & Substance: I am facing some major decisions in my life and am floundering on how to get started in moving forward because I have made some poor life decisions in the past. I have some good options both personally and professionally. Can you recommend a good strategy for getting started?

We think that creating a “measuring stick” for yourself would be a good first step that can be used as a guide for a long time… it is an introspective way of understanding yourself through developing a personal mission statement.

Time Thoughts defines it most succinctly, “A personal mission statement is a description of what you want to focus on, what you want to accomplish and who you want to become in a particular area of your life. It is a way to focus your energy, actions, behaviors and decisions toward the things that are most important to you.” The creation of a personal mission statement allows room for your best and truest self to grow.

Although it is not a good practice to dwell in the past, a brief visit will help you gather and discard characteristics, desires, successes and failures to build your bridge into the future. This historical journey is most satisfying and meaningful when led by an open and frank assessment of experiences. We need to know who we are in order to dream up who we can become. This is a positive and productive exploration in which you can remember or rejuvenate your passions and discover your purpose. (the style & substance 4 P’s) • Step 1: Ask yourself these simple questions and write small phrases on a clean sheet of paper…some words/phrases may be negative and some positive, an honest place to

start.

What qualities have defined me in the past?

What is my perception of myself at work, at home, at leisure? What qualities do others perceive?

What do I want to change?

What do I long for or what do I want to become?

Personal Mission Statements can be simple or elaborate; As simple as “Never give up!” or more descriptive, as the “NED Show” states, “Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best.”

eo is a wonderful young male cat that was surrendered by an outstanding couple of concerned citizens in Plattsburgh. Leo just wasn't getting accepted by the feral colony they help vet and maintain. Leo is doing very well in the cat colony and he is making friends easily. Leo mostly likes to lounge around on the window sill where he can be found soaking in the sunshine. Leo just loves to be around people and will do well in most homes. Leo only wants to find his forever home; he yearns for a family of his own. Leo is current on vaccination, neutered and has tested negative for heart worm., FeLV and FIV. Won't you consider giving this gorgeous boy a chance in a loving home?

ur featured pet this week is Tiger, a gorgeous Bull Terrier-Mix who lives up to his name, with brown, black and white stripes along his sleek body. He recently arrived at the shelter and, though frightened at first, has made great progress and seems very interested in meeting his fellow canines.

He walks well on a leash and is a polite, patient boy, making very little noise and sitting quietly when waiting for his turn to go on a walk. Tiger is about 2 years old with a great attitude for learning - and earning doggie treats! Why not stop by the shelter today and meet this handsome fellow?

flect this truth. Sally’s personal mission statement is: “Live with joy and gratitude. Encourage and Inspire.” If what I am doing is not in line with how I have decided to live, and that most definitely happens daily, I gently remind myself of the commitment that I have made.

Now that you have created the measuring stick, you can measure all decisions up to this. Along Michele Armani and with this step we suggest Sally Meisenheimer that you include or try: looking at where you want to ultimately end up and visualizing that outcome at the end of a straight road or path. Think of your good decisions as a way to stay on this straight path to the ultimate outcome. The personal mission statement serves as the boundaries or guard rails on the path, to virtually keep you out of the ditch!! Good luck.

BEEKMANTOWN — The Beekmantown gymnastics team has won the last three Section VII titles, and return the league’s top athlete in Alyssa Leonard.

Leonard was the sectional all-around champion in 2011, while Erica Leonard, Lydia Gricoski, Brielle Cerne and Alison Trudo all bring their statequalifier experience back to the squad.

Head coach Sheree Trudeau said that it should be an interesting season in the CVAC, with plenty of good teams and talent.

“All the teams have strong players on them that do gymnastics year round,” Trudeau said. “Peru has some new gymnasts that should contribute toward the team. Plattsburgh has some strength from last season that should contribute toward this season. As for Beekmantown, we have a pretty sold group who have been working all year and improving their skills. It should be a fun season and it should be interesting to see who comes out on top.”

BEEKMANTOWN — The Beekmantown varsity football team has been working hard through the first week of the regular season, preparing for another solid season in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference.

“This year ’s team has worked very hard,” head coach Jamie Lozier said. “They never give up on any drill and ask great football questions. We are a team with playoff goals and are willing to put forth the extra effort.

While displaying class, we will carry on the Beekmantown Eagles tradition of hard-hitting, disciplined football. Our defense will swarm to the ball and our offense will attack.”

Lozier said that the team captains for 2012 are Dustin Pickering, Rufus Guerin, Zachary Myers and Tyler King.

“These young men will lead by example and will never give up,” he said. “Their work-ethic has been contagious and our team has been making great progress through camp.“ Lozier said that the offensive line will be a strength for the Eagles with Tyler, Rufus, Cody Watts, Brennan Pelkey and Chris Rowell starting with backups Gavyn Noonan, Austin Martino, Domenic Trombley, Daniel Offman, Matthew Lower, Desire Sydnor, John Noonan and Alex Provost.

An experienced offensive line will be helpful to quarterback Zachary Myers, who takes over for graduate Carter Frechette. He will be backed up by Jacob Remchuk. The backfield will also include Dustin Pickering, Tanner Roser, Devin Fessette, Michael Guerin, Justin Stevens and Kyle Dupigny.

Receivers include Haydin Fountain, Cameron Garceau, Curtis Seymour, Cameron VanNatten and James St.Denis, along with tight ends Quenton Barber and Daniel Johnson.

Junior forward Jack Tolosky adds speed and scoring punch and senior Mohamed Eltahir, with transfer junior John Fine-Lease, shore up the PHS defense.”

Plattsburgh State enrolls most diverse class ever

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com

The staff of Adirondack Hall welcomes students and their families.

Photo provided

PLATTSBURGH – Plattsburgh State enrolled its most diverse freshman class ever.

And that’s not counting international students.

Overall, the college met and exceeded its enrollment goals for the 2012-13 academic year.

Indeed, for seven years running now, Plattsburgh State has had so many applicants that it has turned some away. This year, it turned away more than half, accepting only 45.6 percent.

And that incoming class is strong academically, according to Richard Higgins, associate vice president for enrollment management and director of admissions at the college.

Of the 985 freshman admitted, 40 percent are merit award winners.

More than 25 percent of the incoming freshman class come from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

That is up from 23 percent last year and 20.10 percent in 2010, and it does not include international students.

More than 100 of the new students come from around the world, including China, Japan,

Ethiopia and Korea. More than 60 countries sill be represented at the college this fall.

“I came here because I wanted a change,” said Dimitri Turner, of St. Kitts and Nevis. “I generally don’t like being hot.”

He finds Plattsburgh State conducive for studying and filled with mostly friendly people.

Further, Plattsburgh State received deposits from more than 650 new transfer students. Many of them come from Clinton, Adirondack, Hudson Valley and North Country community colleges.

Nearly 120 new students enrolled at the Branch Campus in Queensbury and the school’s extension site at Hudson Valley Community College. A total of 96 of them are undergraduates, with 21 graduate students.

“We know our faculty and staff are doing something – indeed, many things – right because of the accolades we have just received from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the growth in graduation rates and our success in not just meeting, but exceeding, our enrollment goals,” said Plattsburgh State President Dr. John Ettling.

“Much credit goes to all of the individuals who make up our campus community for continuing to make this a place where students want to be.”

Merger brings international efforts under one roof

It remains a thriving force at the college, but it merged with study abroad offices at the school and evolved into one, multi-function Global Education Office.

The change to bring international students studying here and Plattsburgh State students studying abroad under one umbrella was “synergistic,” said Jackie Girard Vogl, assistant vice president for global education.

“About two years ago, I was asked by thenInterim Provost Patricia Higgins if I’d take over the operational side of the Study Abroad program in addition to maintaining my role in International Student Services,” she said. “It made sense.

Vogl was responsible for the operational side of study abroad – the students and their parents.

International students flock to CCC

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – Coco Yang was a student in China when a teacher told her about Clinton Community College.

The academic program was outstanding, she was told, the weather a beautiful mixture of the seasons and the air fresh to breathe as one looked out over a calm lake to the Green Mountains of Vermont.

Yang had never heard of Clinton Community College, nor Plattsburgh, but after conducting her own research, she was sold and is now in her third semester at the school that overlooks Lake Champlain.

“I knew it would be good,” she said, sitting on the grass doing homework at CCC. This fall, Clinton Community College enrolled a record 32 international students for the 2012-13 academic year.

More than 20 of them are from China.

The rest are from Canada, Ethiopia,

Plattsburgh State enrolls most diverse class ever

By Stephen Bartlett

PLATTSBURGH – Plattsburgh State enrolled its most diverse freshman class ever.

And that’s not counting international students.

Overall, the college met and exceeded its enrollment goals for the 2012-13 academic year.

Indeed, for seven years running now, Plattsburgh State has had so many applicants that it has turned some away. This year, it turned away more than half, accepting only 45.6 percent.

And that incoming class is strong academically, according to Richard Higgins, associate vice president for enrollment management and director of admissions at the college.

Of the 985 freshman admitted, 40 percent are merit award winners.

More than 25 percent of the incoming freshman class come from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

That is up from 23 percent last year and 20.10 percent in 2010, and it does not include international students.

More than 100 of the new students come from around the world, including China, Japan,

Ethiopia and Korea. More than 60 countries sill be represented at the college this fall.

“I came here because I wanted a change,” said Dimitri Turner, of St. Kitts and Nevis. “I generally don’t like being hot.”

He finds Plattsburgh State conducive for studying and filled with mostly friendly people.

Further, Plattsburgh State received deposits from more than 650 new transfer students. Many of them come from Clinton, Adirondack, Hudson Valley and North Country community colleges.

Nearly 120 new students enrolled at the Branch Campus in Queensbury and the school’s extension site at Hudson Valley Community College. A total of 96 of them are undergraduates, with 21 graduate students.

“We know our faculty and staff are doing something – indeed, many things – right because of the accolades we have just received from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the growth in graduation rates and our success in not just meeting, but exceeding, our enrollment goals,” said Plattsburgh State President Dr. John Ettling.

“Much credit goes to all of the individuals who make up our campus community for continuing to make this a place where students want to be.”

In Chazy, it’s the girls turn to go for three in a row

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com

CHAZY — Call it a title “three-fence,” or the opportunity to “three-peat.” Either way, the small Chazy Central Rural School is at it again.

In 2011, it was the boys soccer program that came painfully close to achieving back-to-back-to-back New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D titles, falling 1-0 in the championship game to Hamilton.

This year, it is the Lady Eagles who will look to win their third straight title.

“It has been a great pre-season,” Head Coach Karin Sherman Trombley said. “We know what the goal is here and we know what we want to do. I hand out a questionnaire at the beginning of each season to the players, and they all put down that they want to return to the Final Four.”

Trombley has kept the Lady Eagles program on its traditional winning path over her first four seasons at the helm, with an eye-popping record of 80-4-2 (the team went 20-1-1 in 2011). During the pre-season and throughout divisional play, she stresses the importance of being mentally prepared for the tough moments and tough games.

“We always have to play soccer the way that Chazy plays the game,” she said. “We need to constantly be focused on the style that we play and stay away from the emo-

Trombley said that keeping a mental focus can be challenging at some times of adversity, especially for a team that does not see a lot of it.

“We focus on the fact that we need to work hard together and support each other on the field no matter what,” she said.

“It’s okay to cry when the game is over, but we need to keep it together when we are in between the lines.”

Trombley said that keeping things together has been stressed in this pre-season because there are a lot of new faces on the practice field.

“We are very young with an eighth grader that will be starting for us,” she said.

“Our whole defense is back, but we will have two new starters there. Everyone of these new players wants to get to the final four, but they may not realize how hard you have to work every day to get there.”

To help the new players realize what it will take to get back to the biggest weekend of the season, Trombley will not rely solely on her experiences.

“Megan Reynolds and Lindsay Hack have really stepped up as leaders,” Trombley said. “It means a lot to these players who want to go for their senior year. It’s

been great to watch the captains and the change in their mentality and attitude as they take on this responsibility.”

Reynolds and Hack are joined in the captain rolls by junior Amber Polomsky and sophomore Kinnan Latremore.

“I have played since I was eight and have always been looking up to the players that were older than me,” Reynolds, a fifth year varsity player, said. “It has been a cool experience to be a captain and a team leader.

I try to be positive all of the time, be loud so my teammates can hear me and talk to the entire team.”

“Every day we let the newcomers know what it is going to take to get to where we want to be,” Hack said. “The new players know how much it means to get to a final four and a championship, but they do not have the experience and do not truly know everything that goes into it. We have to work hard every day, every practice and every game. Then, they will be able to get that experience.”

“We have to build off of each other ’s experiences and talents,” Latremore said. “I have been friends with these girls for a long time. We know how to talk to each other and keep everyone positive.”

“There is a lot of potential on this team,” Polomsky said. “I feel that when we get it together and it starts clicking, there are going to be a lot of girls that have a lot to give to this team and this season.”

Guilty pleas for auto thefts; additional man charged stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The final player in a trio of car thieves that targeted a local business pleaded guilty.

That is the third guilty plea in Clinton County Court connected to thefts of multiple vehicles from Garvey Hyundai North, LLC, on Tom Miller Road.

Charles Allen of Saratoga pleaded guilty in Clinton County Court to his role in illegally procuring 24 vehicles from the automobile dealership. The vehicles totaled $136,150.

Allen worked with Richard Bashant and Julie Perry to ob-

Audrey Bitzer doing homework under a tree at Clinton Community College.

Clinton Community from page 1 brand identity, an elevated student profile and record international student numbers. “I’ve been going here off and on for four or five years, but I am full time now,� Ashline said.

She graduated high school in 1983, but said faculty and staff at CCC helped her re-enter the academic world. “So far I am liking it,� she said. “They have everything you need here.�

Lafayette Dawkins likes it too.

The 48-year-old went back to school as an adult learner after paying off old student loans and wants to teach history.

He appreciates the diversity at CCC, the helpfulness of pro-

tain the vehicles and then sell them for profit, according to the Clinton County District Attorney’s Office.

Allen pleaded guilty just as a jury trial was scheduled to begin.

Sentencing is at the discretion of County Court Judge Patrick McGill due to Allen’s guilty plea. He is due back in court Dec. 4.

He faces 5 to 15 years in prison or a minimum sentence of probation.

Early last month, Perry pleaded guilty to second-degree larceny. She admitted to stealing $1,404,320 from the dealership while working there as an office manager from March 2005 through December 2010. fessors and the positive attitude of his fellow students and their willingness to learn. “The start of a new school year always brings about a renewed sense of energy,� said President John Jablonski.

CCC’s new academic year features a new logo and a new brand identity, both of which were showcased prominently throughout the summer with an advertising campaign and in campus publications.

CCC enrolled a record number of presidential scholars this fall. A total of 41 students who graduated this year with a highschool average of at least 90 will attend the college this year.

During the prior three years of the program, the school enrolled as many as 24 scholars in a year. “We are so pleased that many of Clinton County’s top scholars are coming to Clinton this fall,� Jablonski said.

The college enrolled a record 32 international students for the 2012-13 academic year.

These students come from places such as China, Canada, Ethiopia, Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Russia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Uzbekistan and Venezuela.

Maxine Wallace came to CCC from the Bronx, after deciding she didn’t want to remain downstate and hearing from a friend about the "amazing" community college in Plattsburgh.

She is in her second year at CCC, and while she is studying criminal justice, she hopes to get into the nursing program. “I like it here,� she said. “I like my classes and I like my professors.�

Tyrell Herring came from downstate too and is also studying criminal justice. He hopes to one day work as a federal agent. “The professors actually care here,� Herring said. “No matter how messed up you are doing, they try to help you. They won’t give up on you.�

Audrey Bitzer thinks the professors at CCC are extra helpful too.

Overall, said the freshman from Oneonta, “There are resources here to help you if you need it.�

Perry is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 5 and faces 5 to 15 years in prison.

She must also pay full restitution.

Bashant appeared in court a little less than a year ago and was sentenced to one year in County jail. He pleaded guilty to fourth-degree conspiracy and petit larceny.

The court conditionally discharged his jail time pending restitution payment of $19,733, a DNA sample, paying a DNA fee and the completion of 100 hours of community service.

Chief Assistant District Attorney Timothy Blatchley prosecuted the case.

Adult education student Donna Ashline is attending Clinton Community College and hoping to get into the nursing program there.

She wants to work with animals one day, though right now she enjoys the views of Lake Champlain while working on homework at CCC. “It is beautiful here.�

Man dies during I-87 wreck

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — A middle-aged man was killed in a one-car accident in the Town of Plattsburgh Saturday night.

The man from New Russia was driving on Interstate 87 when he went off the road and lost his life.

Paul T. McCoy, 49, died at the scene of the accident.

At around 11:30 p.m., McCoy drove a 1997 Chevrolet pickup truck north on the interstate in the Town of Plattsburgh.

He approached mile marker 148 when he veered off the road following a slight curve.

According to New York State Police, the truck slammed into the east-side guardrail and crossed both lanes of traffic.

The truck then smashed into the west-side guardrail.

The force of the collision partially ejected McCoy from the truck. He died at the scene as a result of the injuries he sustained during the accident.

Clinton County Coroner David Donah approved the removal of the body.
