Thankful for health care workers

Essex County officials keep order No local playbook for pandemic, supervisors say

Residents, businesses: thanks to local hospitals

By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | As health care workers have stepped up for the community, the community is showing its support for health care workers in multiple ways, from contributing masks to writing kind notes that encourage hospital staff in a difficult time. “We are hearing every day from community members eager to share their gratitude and help frontline health care professionals,” said Elizabeth Rogers, Director of Communications for the University of Vermont Health Network’s Elizabethtown hospital. In the past few weeks, community support has come in the form of N95 and hand-sewn masks; homemade gowns; gift certificates to local businesses; lunch from local restaurants; encouraging signs outside the hospital; and social media likes and comments. “I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support our community has shown our healthcare providers,” said Victoria Savage, manager of the hospital’s inpatient nursing unit. “It truly is a trying time but so many beautiful blessings have been shown to us and our patients. The kindness brightens the long and stressful days.“ In Ticonderoga, Elevate ADK is among the businesses offering support, with a “pay-it-forward” fund for essential workers, and a Ti campus-specific fund to offer free, nutritious, juices to frontline workers. On social media, the caregivers at Elderwood posted photos of thanks to Punky Noodles, Huddy & Co, Friends Comforting Friends “and all the other businesses that came together to show their support.” Rodgers said a number of individuals and organizations have donated N95

Thank you notes hang on the wall of the Ticonderoga campus of the UVM Elizabethtown Community Hospital. Photo provided masks, and a local quilting club will donate nearly 200 hand-sewn masks. Santa’s Workshop in Wilmington and the United Way in Plattsburgh also donated hand-sewn masks. Bub’s Pizza and the fire department in Elizabethtown donated food. “These gestures and gift s are greatly appreciated by our staff. Every ‘thank you’ is a reminder of how fortunate we are to live in the North Country,” Rodgers said. The health care network is accepting donations of N95 and hand-sewn masks. Those wishing to donate N95s should email jgibbs@ ech.org, and people interested in making or donating hand-sewn cloth masks should contact Laura Sells-Doyle, the network’s auxiliary, at sellsdoyle@westelcom.com. “People don’t have to leave their homes to help out. Encouragement

and appreciation can be shared online through: https://UVMHealth.org/ECH/ ThanksHealthHeroes. Messages posted to this platform and our Facebook page are shared with our staff members, which helps make their difficult jobs a little easier,” Rogers said in an email. “As a nurse manager one of my main goals is to advocate for nurses to be sure all of their needs are met for their shifts,” said Julie LaMotte. “It’s heartwarming to know that our local communities have that same goal in mind as they are graciously sending in donations of PPE and food to keep the staff well-nourished and sending them words of encouragement on social media outlets. It’s a difficult time to be a nurse but knowing that our employers, communities, friends and families have our backs makes it a bit more manageable.” ■

PORT HENRY | When Moriah Shock graduated more than two dozen cadets last week, the state Department of Corrections canceled the traditional graduation ceremony, but told the families of inmates they still had to make the drive to pick up their loved one. Precautions were taken; the state issued guidance telling families not to stop and to stay in their cars as the family member was brought to them. But telling residents of infected cities to drive into the vulnerable North Country struck Essex County supervisors as tone-deaf handling of a delicate situation. “No one’s going to stay in their cars for a fivehour trip,” said Lewis Supervisor Jim Monty, who said the supervisors tried without success to have Albany send a bus. “We got nowhere with the DOC; they just didn’t seem concerned,” Monty said. “But we’re concerned, not only for us, but for these people who have to make the trip.” The DOC did not respond to an email to its public affairs office. The pick-ups went according to protocol, but supervisors said it was emblematic of the difficulty in trying to control everything in a large, rural county. “We’re a town of 5,000 people, and we’re limited in the number of places where you can buy essential needs — that’s a problem,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. “Every business is trying to maintain social distancing, but it’s difficult.” Essex County issued a stern directive a week ago announcing a zero-tolerance policy toward the operation of nonessential businesses and public gatherings, with potential fines of up to $10,000. Supervisor’s Chairman Shaun Gillilland said that people appear to be obeying the order. Over the weekend the only complaint involved multiple cars at a hiking trailhead. The number of positive COVID-19 cases in Essex County doubled over the past week to 29 as of Sunday. The number of positives “are increasing as testing goes up,” Gillilland said. “We have such a low level of testing we have no idea exactly what the virus is doing in the population.” Scozzafava said the difficulties, be they with policies or testing, is that the situation is changing almost by the hour. “I’ve been in office for 30 years and never in my wildest dreams did I foresee anything like this,” he said. Not do supervisors have any special insights or get any special training for such catastrophes. “We don’t get elected on the basis of our IQ’s,” he quipped. ■

PLATTSBURGH | On April 9, a Plattsburgh Housing Authority (PHA) high-rise for the elderly on Flynn Avenue in the City of Plattsburgh was put on lockdown after five cases of COVID-19 were identified inside. “We have the largest population of senior citizens, the most vulnerable of our population, per capita in our region then anywhere in New York State,” Chair of the Clinton County Legislature Mark Henry recently told Sun Community News, with regard to the tricounty area’s overwhelmed hospital. “We have 4 nursing homes and several correctional facilities in our area that also rely on the hospital and its scarce resources.” The Russell H. Barnard Apartments complex on Flynn Avenue is home to 69 elderly residents, now on lockdown to contain spread of the virus and avoid potential for overwhelming already-spread-thin local hospital staff. The 70-unit facility is one of eight run by PHA, another of which Lakeview Towers is also located on Flynn Avenue along with a county nursing home. “Several other locations have been identified as high risk including Beekman Towers, County and Private Nursing homes and two Assisted Living facilities,” said

City of Plattsburgh Mayor Colin Read in a recent briefing. “We are currently contacting management at each of these facilities and offering assistance in evaluating their current protocols regarding social distancing and their emergency action plans.” NY-21 Rep. Elise Stefanik weighed in, saying, “The Clinton County Health Department made the right call to release this information publicly to educate our seniors and the community. If the state does not release this data, our county departments of public health and senior facilities should self-report.” PHA employees continue to provide meals and supplies to residents, as well as sanitation services. City firefighters and police are conducting routine visits and check-ins at the quarantined building on Flynn Avenue and others; city vehicles are regularly sanitized and responders are equipped with personal protective equipment, should the need for transportation to the hospital or elsewhere arise. ■

Canceled: New York Regents exams of grades 3 to 8 state assessments for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. Testing will resume in spring 2022. State assessments to the New York P-12 Science Learning Standards will begin in spring 2023. State Ed expressed gratitude for the extraordinary work of parents, teachers, school staff and administrators navigating uncharted waters with online learning. “Every day we see more and more examples of the tireless dedication of educators, administrators and parents to support their students as they continue to learn and work toward a meaningful diploma during the state of emergency,” State Ed Interim Commissioner Shannon Tahoe said. “The department has developed this guidance to ensure that students who were on track to graduate this year will have that opportunity.” The new guidance says: “Students who, during the June 2020 examination period would have taken one or more Regents examinations, will be exempted from passing the assessments in order to be issued a diploma.” To qualify for the exemption, students must have earned credit in such course of study by the end of the 2019-20 school year; or be enrolled in a course of study culminating in a Regents examination and will have passed such course of study by the end of the 2019-20 school year; or if they fail the course, the student must receive summer instruction to earn the course credit and diploma credit in August 2020; or the student is exempted from taking a Regents if they has achieved course credit, but had not yet passed the associated Regents they planned to take in June. State Education is developing procedures for how schools and districts will record the 2020 Regent Exam exemption. ■

Grade 3-8 assessments postponed until spring 2021 By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

ELIZABETHTOWN |The New York State Education Department canceled June 2020 Regents Exams for all schools in New York. Guidance in the unprecedented move involves changes for graduation requirements and explains how students will earn diplomas, credentials and endorsements. “In times of crisis difficult decisions must be made and the Board of Regents knows these are ultimately the right ones for New York’s students,” Board Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said in the formal announcement. “We are putting the safety of children, families and educators first, while ensuring that the hard work done by our students and teachers is honored.” New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) President Andy Pallotta called this the “right decision” and will “allow our students and their families to fi rst and foremost focus on being safe and healthy without having to stress about preparing for traditional endof-year exams this June. Pallotta said the guidance will allow students’ hard work toward achieving a diploma to be recognized without penalty in this unprecedented crisis. “We thank Regents Chancellor Betty Rosa, the Board and the (State Education) Department for putting students fi rst with changes to state exam requirements.” In addition, State Education delayed roll-out

Parking limited at popular trailheads By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

ST. HUBERTS | The Adirondack Mountain Reserve will limit parking at its popular Route 73 trailhead until the risk from the novel coronavirus has passed, the club announced Tuesday. John Schuler, general manager of the AMR-Ausable Club, said the 80-car lot will be cordoned off to permit parking for 28 cars, and that the lot will be monitored to keep more motorists from attempting to squeeze in. “This action is being taken by AMR to protect visitors, staff and the greater community from COVID-19,” Schuler said. The AMR trailhead in St. Huberts is among the three most popular entrances to the interior of the High Peaks. Two weekends ago, when the weather was pretty, Schuler said the lot had filled to capacity. “When it starts

Indian Head, overlooking the Upper and Lower Ausable Lakes, is a popular destination for hikers parking at the Adirondack Mountain Reserve trailhead on Route 73, where parking has been limited due to the coronavirus. Photo by Tim Rowland getting nice, that lot gets busy,” he said. The trailhead leads to the mountains of the Great Range, along with several other High Peaks, as well as a number of waterfalls and the popular destination of Indian Head, which overlooks the Ausable lakes from a high rocky bluff. The parking limitations are also a preemptive strike against what is liable to become a larger battle to discourage people from traveling long distances to hike on typically crowded trails. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has been strategically closing outdoor spots where people congregate in close quarters, including viewing platforms and fire towers. Also on Tuesday the Adirondack Mountain Club announced it was extending closure of the Adirondack Loj and associated properties an additional two weeks through May 14. The parking lot remains open for local hikers, with applicable parking fees, but the ADK recommends leaving at least six feet between cars. See HIKING » pg. 8

platform, with a new deadline of June 8. Participation is open to all middle school and high school students in the Adirondack region. This year’s festival is sponsored by Lake Placid Institute and organized by AdkAction and the Tupper Lake Central School District. In an attempt to offer a fun and creative outlet to Adirondack middle and high school students who are learning from home, the two organizations are encouraging students to film their experiences during this crisis and submit these films to one of the film categories in the festival. Films on other topics will be accepted as well. The idea is to encourage a welcomed creative outlet for students who are forced to remain at

home. Graduating seniors are particularly encouraged to apply. After the submission deadline of June 8, films will be judged and prize packages mailed out to the winning filmmakers for each category. Prize packages and trophies have already been donated and include audio and video equipment. Submission details and tutorials can be found online at beyondthepeaks.skills21.org. Interested teachers, administrators, students and parents are encouraged to visit adkaction.org/filmfest to learn more and sign up.

DEC 50th Anniversary, Earth Day 2020 Community garden cultivates home-grown access to nature By Alina Walentowicz STAFF WRITER

PLATTSBURGH | In 2020, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, first established on April 22, 1970. That same day, New York State’s D ep a r t me nt of E nv i ron me nt a l Conservation (NYSDEC) was founded, connecting statewide departments of health, agriculture and markets through legislative initiatives. The DEC plays a large role in coordinating preservation efforts for land, species and resources throughout the state and in the North Country with its access to both the Adirondack Mountains and Lake Champlain. While it might not be safe to “opt outside” near others for too prolonged a period of time this year, individuals throughout the North Country are still finding ways to appreciate nature, even when it might seem less accessible than ever to those in hard-hit urban areas of the state and region.

COMMUNITY GARDEN SPRING KICKS OFF NEW SEASON

With Earth Day celebrations now

Families work in their plots at the Plattsburgh Community Garden in the Melissa L. Penfield Park during a recent summer season. Photo provided mostly limited to backyards and less-populated trails this year due to COVID-19, still-shared opportunities such as local community gardens allow residents to rent plots of land where they can grow their own vegetables. The Plattsburgh Community Garden (PCG) recently accepted new members for its current season and plans to proceed with operations, provided distance measures are met. With 60 plots in Melissa L. Penfield Park and 14 plots on South Catherine Street at the Plattsburgh Housing Authority (PHA), families throughout

the city receive priority access. “The fee at Penfield is $35 per plot, which includes access to water, compost and tools in a caring community dedicated to organic gardening,” said organizer Jack Downs. “PHA gardeners pay $25 for the same services. PHA residents garden for free.” Plots are determined through a lottery system. All members participate in 2 work days each season; new members attend an orientation workshop in May, which will now be held via Youtube. ■

Community Food Shelf has curbside service Pantry benefits from donations, volunteers By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

ELIZABETHTOWN |The Community Food Shelf at Church of the Good Shepherd Parish Hall here has seen a major influx of donations. Program coordinator Marilyn Jordan said community has been extraordinarily generous in many ways, from cash donations to food donations to volunteer help from young residents and manpower from Whallonsburg Grange Association members. But they are concerned people might not be asking for help or are aware of all that is available for free. Efforts to provide food have ramped up as many people in this region are currently laid off, furloughed or not working due to local and state pandemic response. Jordan wants people to know that the food shelf is open, fully stocked and has a curbside service policy, which means people do not have to get out of their cars or go inside to get groceries. “Clients pull up and park near the door. Or if they are on foot, they can knock at the door. One of our volunteers goes out with a clipboard to fill out the application and fills out a grocery list,” she told the Sun. “A person inside fills the bags and takes them to the car or person.” Food shelf staff have seen demand remain somewhat flat, and suspect there is a decline

Volunteers from the Whallonsburg Grange Hall Assoc. helped unload the truck last week for food delivery at the Community Food Shelf in Elizabethtown. The work for many years has been done by Moriah Shock, but the valuable service done by inmates was shut down last month. Photo/Whallonsburg Grange Hall Facebook

in older folks drawing from the community food supplies. “We don’t know if that is because older people are afraid to come out or because they aren’t sure of how to seek help,” Jordan said. “We can try to accommodate people who need deliveries. People who need delivery can call the Parish Hall and leave a message. The phone number is 518-873-6521.” The Community Food Shelf encompasses residents in a 20-mile circumference of Elizabethtown, and operates with help from five area churches. In addition to Good

Shepherd Episcopal Church, St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church, the Congregational churches in Lewis and Elizabethtown and St. John’s Episcopal Church in Essex participate in both donations, management and staffing. “We are part of the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, based in Latham,” Jordan said. “We buy from them and we have access to a lot of free U.S. Department of Agriculture food items.” Grocery goods available at the Community Food Shelf include pork, milk, eggs, bread,

cheese, cereal, oatmeal, rice, canned goods and soups, mac and cheese, dried fruit and fresh fruit, walnuts, dried beans, lentils, peas, pancake syrup, pasta, lunch meat and peanut butter and jelly, to name part of the list. The food shelf also has toilet paper and paper towels. “We lost our work crews from Moriah Shock; they would come every month and help unload the truck,” Jordan said. “What has happened, the Whallonsburg Grange Association called and asked if we needed help, and last week, seven volunteers stepped up and helped us unload the truck. It is amazing how people just come forward and say ‘how can I help?’” Jordan said. “We are very grateful for the donations and grateful for a number of younger volunteers who have stepped forward as some of our elderly volunteers were concerned about being out of their home during this challenging time.” Volunteers are the only people permitted inside the Parish Hall, Jordan said of measures taken to keep food handling safe. “We’ve asked volunteers to bring gloves and a mask to use when they are scheduled. Disinfectant wipes are used to wipe clipboards, pens, refrigerator handles, door handles and other areas as necessary.” The staff is diligent in keeping the Parish Hall clean. The Community Food Shelf at the Church of the Good Shepherd is located at 16 Williams St. in Elizabethtown. It is open on Monday and on Thursday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. People who might need a delivery can call the Parish Hall at 518-873-6521. ■

‘What’s Open’: a new online feature

Until the events of the past several months, combatting a global pandemic was a plot to a “B” movie or a launching point for a post-apocalyptic thriller. For health care workers, first responders and public health leaders who participate in preparedness drills on these scenarios, they do so hoping they will never have to put these plans in place. Yet, here we are. In many ways, the spread of COVID-19 has brought out the best in us. Hope, faith and solidarity are on display every day. We’re witnessing sacrifice from all corners of society. Neighbors are looking out for each other, and our skills and community resources are being deployed in new, imaginative ways. We’re collaborating like never before, and that includes health care providers working together across three states – New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. The spirit of innovation is rising to meet our

By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER

The next several weeks will be critically important as we try to restart the local economy. Businesses, schools, and organizations will all be trying to pick up where they left off when our normal lifestyle was all but closed down due to the COVID-19 crisis. Picking up where you left off will not be as easy as it sounds. With many cash registers not ringing, supplies now outdated, in need of being replaced, and staff to be rehired, the demands will be great. We heard in some area surveys, numbers as high as 40% of small businesses that may not be able to reopen, possibly shuttered for good. Recognizing that we will all have an uphill struggle getting the economy fired back up, we’ve taken steps to launch a new feature called “What’s Open”. https://suncommunitynews.whatsopen.news/. “What’s Open” is a free feature we launched last week on www.suncommunitynews.com. In the first week without much fanfare, over 100 local businesses, organizations, and churches have signed on to participate. This service is being made available to existing customers, former customers, as well as those who have never used our company to publicize their firm. Once they post a listing, they will be free to update as often as the need arises to keep consumers aware of their status, hours, and capabilities during these changing times. Consumers will be able to search the list by location, category, status, or name to make sure what’s available before venturing out. The site also features a location map, contact information, and other vital details to help navigate our way back to normal. Since none of us ever experienced anything like this pandemic we’ve been through nor what we are about to go through, we knew we needed to create an easy to use tool that fit the bill both information-wise and was cost-effective for all parties. Several months back I told you that we would be launching a new website; “What’s Open” isn’t it. Like many things planned before our world changed, the new site has been delayed a few weeks, but development, transferring years of stories and pictures, and final testing is currently underway, so we are optimistic that its arrival is just over the horizon. In the meantime, please check out the new “What’s Open” site, and please consider helping the local organizations you’ll find there as they try to keep their lifeblood flowing. Together we will get through this, and more of us will still be here because of the precautions we all took. ■

I don’t pretend to know what the future will hold. I do know that our region is at the beginning of a predicted surge in this pandemic. My hope – and my expectation – is that this surge will be low and slow because of our collective efforts, and our systems will adapt to meet this challenge. It will take all of us, working together with one single purpose, to get through this. We must do what we can to slow the spread of this illness. We must heed the direction of our leaders to stay home, distance ourselves from others, wash our hands and be safe. We must continue to demonstrate our appreciation for those who have no choice but to leave their homes and families to serve in this incredible time of need. We owe it to them and to those most vulnerable to this virus. We will persevere. — John R. Brumsted, MD, President and CEO, UVM Health Network ■

Commending JCEO for responsiveness to emerging needs

To the Editor: The team at the North Country Healthy Heart Network has been — pardon the pun — heartened by our region’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. There are countless people, businesses and organizations to extend our gratitude to, but we wanted to say a special thank you to our partners and friends at the Joint Council for Economic Opportunity (JCEO). Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with JCEO to improve access to locally produced vegetables at worksites and in communities. Most recently, with funding from the Adirondack Health Institute and support from the Heart Network’s Creating Healthy Schools and Communities program, JCEO has constructed and utilized greenhouses to grow produce for its food service programs. As the state and national response to COVID-19 settled in, JCEO quickly began sending produce from the greenhouses to food pantries across their service area. Additionally, JCEO will work with other local organizations to include produce in emergency food packages for people in need. We know JCEO is far from the only orSee LETTERS » pg. 7

To the Editor: Fact: 98% of all public water contains chlorine. This is not bad mainly because it must kill all bacteria from the source to your home or business. At your water tap, a residual must be maintained. Monitoring must be maintained in each city, town, and village through out the U.S. ensuring all forms of bacteria are killed from the source to your tap. When the water leaves the tap it contains chlorine from .2 or higher, which means it is sanitary to use and drink. When water is consumed with this chlorine radical in it, the water is absorbed into the tissue in your mouth, because your body is water and carbon. Chlorine then attacks the good bacteria and the bad bacteria in your body and if you drink chlorinated water, frequently the chlorine can build up in our system and can effect your immune system. Many people buy bottled water because it tastes good, it’s convenience, or because it is better for you. Whatever the reason this is good. Getting the chlorine from the tap lowered can be accomplished in several different ways and I will list these ways as I am aware of below. 1. Boiling the water, refrigerate and let cool before drinking. 2. Fill a pitcher and refrigerate with the top open to allow much of the chlorine to evaporate before you drink it. 3. Buy bottled water at the store 4. Use a carbon filter at your water tap to recuse your chlorine intake. 5. Consider having bottled water deliv-

Sun Community News welcomes letters to the editor, preferably on topics of local interest.

Let’s talk water...

To the Editor: This letter is with regards to the coronavirus and resultant budget concerns. To glean more local information I read the Clinton County Legislative Minutes for March 26, 2020. These are the most recent published. Therein one can read that our Clinton County Legislature is aware the State budget will be “grim” to the counties. The State will “reauthorize a county 1% sales tax increase” and “Clinton County will be under a considerable amount of fiscal stress throughout the remainder of 2020 and beyond”. For the county, sales tax revenue estimates could be “short by $2.2 to $6.6 million. The County will have to find ways to get thru this”. Also of concern to us taxpayers should be the fact that under the new state budget Governor Cuomo has given himself the sole authority, if needed, to lower financial aid to the counties as he deems necessary. And of course is trickle down hardships for the towns and City of Plattsburgh. In some cases “foreclosure actions due delinquent payment of property taxes for 2020 are postponed to 2021 due to present circumstances”. Of interest was genuine concern by Legislator Dame for the burden on tax payers. I have witnessed this concern at previous meetings and the County, as a whole, will be void of this man’s concern when he departs. What is of concern to me is that at this time, in the record, there is no position that the Legislators and County Treasurer have any intention to open and trim current budgeted items. To wit: the Clinton County Treasurer states “there really is no fat to cut off ”. To that the residents should interpret “Read my lips: pay more taxes” unless the budget is reduced, cut, or modified. — Geoffrey B. Barker, Plattsburgh, NY ■

and they trust in themselves, their colleagues, and their equipment to get through this ordeal. There is no place I would rather be during this time than working alongside these heroes. We are fortunate that our public leaders – including our mayors, health officials, governors, state legislators and members of Congress – are making bold, tough decisions. These decisions certainly have saved lives. The actions of all who are heeding stay-home orders also are essential to save lives. Our health care system is among the best in the country, and we are rising to meet this challenge. So are our communities. For all who read this, please know your efforts are appreciated and, no matter where we live or work, we are all neighbors and teammates in the fight against this virus. And I am so proud of the steps we’ve collectively taken to protect each other and to help the most vulnerable.

unprecedented needs: One example is the distillers who have quickly pivoted to producing hand sanitizer for health care workers and the public. But there’s no denying that this is also a time of stress, sadness and anxiety. Many are juggling work and families, and many have lost their jobs as businesses across this region cut back or shutter. Layers of uncertainty cloud our future. All of us have been profoundly impacted, and some have lost someone they know or care about. Though we are working hard to flatten the curve of this pandemic, tragically, we know that many more lives will be lost. For the health care workers, first responders and other essential employees in our communities, calling them “heroes” is an understatement. They put courage and the greater good before themselves. They risk exposure to this virus the minute they leave the house,

600 frontline employees

To the Editor: I am writing as a representative of the 600 frontline employees who work for Customs and Border Protection at ports in the entire region of northern New York, all of whom are worried about their personal health and safety and that of their coworkers and families. As essential employees we are always prepared to do our jobs and process legitimate trade and travel while stopping illegal narcotics, counterfeit goods and other dangers to our country. We are proud of our role. The decrease in the volume of traffic because of the pandemic and border restrictions provided an opportunity to reduce the numbers of employees interacting with each other and with travelers and we worked locally to create a plan that protected us and got the job done. Without warning or rationale, CBP canceled those adjusted schedules at ports along the borders, putting more employees at greater risk, which threatens all of us. In my role as president of Chapter 138 of the National Treasury Employees Union, I am urging CBP to restore the adjusted work schedules and give our frontline employees a few less hours per week in harm’s way. We are grateful that such administrative leave is an option, and CBP employees, even on leave, remain on call to report to the port as needed. During this global pandemic, we should be allowed this temporary adjustment that keeps all of us safer without jeopardizing port operations. — James Goheens, Peru ■

The lives of animals

To the Editor: Most people do not share the idea propagated by the DEC and hunting enthusiasts that hunting is a fun, exciting and necessary activity. In fact, according to 2018 statistics from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, only 5% of Americans actually derive joy from stalking, maiming and killing animals who are simply living their lives, usually as far from humans as possible. This brazen killing destroys families and social

groups, creates orphans, disrupts migration and hibernation, and subjects animals to terrifying, painful and often slow deaths, especially in the case of bowhunting. In “Antlered Deer Take up Six Percent” (April 4), we are subjected to all the hallmarks of the pro-hunting lobby: inaccurate language such as “harvesting” instead of killing; glib catchphrases employed to desensitize the public; attempts to reinforce the idea that consumptive users are the true arbiters of forest usage; celebration of children’s participation in killing, and of course, the misleading claim that hunting is essential for population control. The “target population” of deer in New York is based largely on human economic and social factors. Subsequently, this argument conveniently justifies killing while ignoring the myriad human-based reasons that natural population fluctuations have been disrupted and unduly influenced for centuries. At this moment in time, it is more pressing than ever to realize that our species’ hubris has finally come home to roost. Now is the time to reexamine our position in the natural world and to stop the wanton destruction of the planet and the species that inhabit it. The lives of animals are not ours to do with what we please. — Christina Holland, Plattsburgh ■

Sailing ships

To the Editor: Our U.S. Presidential election is scheduled for November. Most in the medical profession believe that a branch or a new wave of COVID-19 may reappear or still be with us. How can we avoid putting ourselves and poll workers in danger, and still exercise our right to vote? Vote by Mail is one solution, there are surely others. Voting is the foundational act of our democracy, the one place we all have an equal voice. All eligible voters, regardless of party affiliation, should be able to vote. Elise Stefanik has prided herself on her non-partisanship. In last night’s COVID themed “tele-town hall” she was asked if she had concerns for the November election. Her response was measured and smart, as always. She would let the health professionals make that call, later, based on “testing, testing, testing.” We know that the wheels of large bureaucracies grind slowly. A new stimulus bill making its way through Congress right now could include funds to ensure voting accessibility for all

Let’s make the Earth smile

Local officials seek individual, business compliance; law enforcement empowered By Alina Walentowicz STAFF WRITER

PLATTSBURGH | County legislators declared at a regular meeting, held telephonically on Wed., April 8, that law enforcement personnel throughout Clinton County would be ramping up efforts to address potential social distancing violations. Extending his executive “PAUSE” order to April 29, Gov. Andrew Cuomo upped the maximum fine for violations of distancing rules from $500 to $1,000. This could mean tickets for not only individuals but businesses, too, as the region looks to its local leaders and the state’s governor for guidance on organizing and coordinating enforcement directives. “Community members continue to voice concerns about individuals and businesses which do not appear to be complying with social distancing requirements, as well as retailers and manufacturers that continue to operate even though they may not fit the definition of “essential” business,” announced a recent press release from the Clinton County Health Department (CCHD), as the county total of state lab-confirmed cases reached 39 out of 346 total tests administered.

TOWN OF PLATTSBURGH

To the Editor: On this 50th anniversary of Earth Day... let’s get out and celebrate by cleaning up and greening up this weekend. Our roadsides in Essex County are horribly polluted with trash. Let’s all work together and beautify them by picking up the litter so we can see the daffodils pop up next to our beautiful stone fences and landscapes. Hopefully by getting out it will make you feel happy with some fresh air and exercise with social distancing. Give a hoot and don’t pollute. Happy Earth Day. — Mark Wilcox, Essex ■

Enforcement initiatives, potential fines

Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Michael Cashman told Sun Community News that overlapping violations could result in larger than a maximum of $1,000 fine due to potential additional civil penalties. “These new and evolving directives could change,” Cashman said. He emphasized the importance of all parties recognizing their own levels of responsibility in helping to flatten the curve. “Even though there is a responsibility of businesses to manage activities, it is still incumbent upon citizens to shop solo, use social distance standards and stay home.” To ensure compliance, Cashman has coordinated with Deputy Attorney Matthew Favro to empower town code enforcement officers to conduct random checks at local deemed-essential businesses moving forward. Cashman said the town canvassed Plattsburgh businesses, asking them to share their plans to meet evolving standards. “I’m very pleased with the response that the business community has been giving us.” See ENFORCEMENT » pg. 8

CITY OF PLATTSBURGH On April 6, Mayor Colin Read’s five-day curfew went into play. He said the initiative’s intention was to crack down on non-essential gatherings, such as parties. The city will also pursue maximum fines, if necessary, for those found to be in violation of the latest social distancing measures. “We’ve had to go in a few instances to

If somebody from the town gets infected and comes to the city, and somebody in the city spreads it to somebody else in the city, we’re all in the same boat.” Read said he has not since been able to reissue his Emergency Order; the Governor’s office recommended an “emergency suggestion” instead. ■

Charles W. Juntunen 1931 - 2020 MOUNT VERNON, WASH. | Charles W. Juntunen, 88, a longtime resident of the Clear Lake community, passed away on Monday, April 6, 2020, in Mount Vernon, Washington. Chuck was born on September 24, 1931, the son of William and Dorothy (Kangas) Juntunen in Painesdale, Michigan. He started his schooling in Michigan, and later, when they moved to the Adirondack Mountains, he finished his schooling in Chateaugay, New York. During his years in the Adirondack Mountains, Chuck enjoyed running a trapline in the winters, and in the summers he was a deep woods camp counselor at Indian Point on Chateaugay Lake. In 1951, Chuck went to the Korean War. After his discharge in 1953, he returned to New York, where he studied at State University of New York. He received a Bachelor of Science education degree and taught for a couple of years at the Chazy Rural School. In 1958, Chuck moved to the Skagit Valley and began a long career with the SedroWoolley School District, teaching for 31 years. During these years, he also kept busy as a boy scout leader in Sedro-Woolley. In 1972, Chuck married Susan Floyd, who was also teaching at Central School, and they made their home in Clear Lake for the past 48 years. Chuck was a naturalist, artist and outdoorsman with a deep respect for animals and the cycle of life. With teaching as a career, he had summers to canoe. In 1959, Chuck made a journey of 1,200 miles by canoe in the Canadian Arctic. He returned eight additional summers to the Arctic to canoe and learn about the Inuit art forms. He loved creating art that was inspired by the north woods. Painting and carving were lifelong passions. Chuck, who was so kind and thoughtful and inspiring, is survived by his wife, Sue, two daughters: Maren Matts and husband, Dan, of Seattle; and Kirsten Juntunen and husband, Jon Cooley, of Costa Rica; grandchildren Caelan, Jade, Karina and Knox with a fifth due shortly; his sister, Carol Lowery, of Plattsburgh, New York; sister-in-law Joan Juntunen of Lyon Mountain, New York; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and by his brother, Jerry Juntunen. No services will be held at the time. Cremation arrangements are under direction of Lemley Chapel, Sedro-Woolley.

STEWART’S PROVIDES MASKS, BONUS PAY By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Stewart’s Shops is taking new steps to provide employees with protective gear and bonus pay as the local grocer and gas supplier helps prevent spread of coronavirus infection. COVID-19 is on the rise in the North Country, particularly in Clinton and in St. Lawrence counties. In Essex County, Public Health reported 29 positive cases as of Monday, 15 of which tested positive and 14 are suspected positive, which means a clinician has determined the person has COVID-19 but no test was done. Nineteen people are in isolation, 21 in mandatory quarantine and 34 people are in precautionary quarantine. Essex County is breaking case reports out by town. The 15 lab confirmed positive cases have been reported in the following towns as of April 9: Crown Point, one; Essex, two; Keene, one; Moriah, two; North Elba, five; Westport, one; three cases are reported among the inmate population in Essex County. The 14 suspect COVID-19 cases have been reported in

Elizabethtown, one; Moriah, three; North Elba, three; Ticonderoga, four; Schroon Lake, one. Clinton County has found 43 COVID positive cases with testing, including an outbreak of five cases isolated in the Russell Barnard apartments, a senior housing facility with 69 residents. In Warren County, Public Health reported 58 cases of COVID-19 as of Monday morning, up from 37 the day before. Eight percent of people with the disease are in critical condition and 90 percent have recovered with mild symptoms. Stewart’s Shops has stores throughout all northern counties. “We continue to follow CDC recommended guidelines and are adapting to the everchanging recommendations while balancing the needs of our customers and employees,” Stewart’s said of new protocol. Stewart’s is now allowing workers to wear face masks. “A limited supply of masks were sent to each district and we’re working to secure more. In the meantime, our Partners can wear masks that they’ve made themselves. In regards to gloves, we have always supplied all of our shops with gloves and will continue to do so.” Stewart’s associates are required to follow strict hand-washing policy. “They are routinely sanitizing food prep and customer area surfaces. Pin pads, door handles, coffee pot handles and high touch

Stewart’s Shops remain open and have taken steps to ensure worker and public health safety as COVID-19 cases rise in northern counties. Photo by Kim Dedam areas are being sanitized regularly.” Stewart’s has signs in place to enforce social distancing and said store employees are “doing their best to limit shop traffic and enforce 6-foot distancing between customers.” All seating areas have been closed for several weeks. But crocks with hot food items and Make Your Own Hot Dog programs have been suspended. Stewart’s self-serve coffee station is still available. “We are now offering a full service coffee program. Upon request, our Partners will pour your coffee and make it the way you

Community pulls together for CVPH staﬀ More than 1,000 handmade face masks and dozens of meals donated to the UVM Health Network’s CVPH Medical Center By Andrea VanValkenburg STAFF WRITER

PLATTSBURGH | As public-health mandates sweep across the region and health-care facilities work to avoid shortages, the community has come together to help those on the front lines of the current health crisis. While dental practices and construction companies stepped up to donate personal-protective masks to local hospitals, families and organizations across the region have also joined forces to sew for a cause-collecting fabric, elastic and donations to create thousands of homemade masks to help protect health-care workers in the area. At UVM Health Network’s CVPH Medical Center, officials have seen more than 1,000 handmade masks donated in just a matter of days and say the boost

speaks volumes about the North Country’s support of its health-care workers. “Our health-care team is committed to delivering the best services they can. Knowing that the community supports them is one of the bright lights that shines as we navigate through this unprecedented time,” Kerry Haley, associate vice president of philanthropy at the Plattsburgh hospital, recently told Sun Community News. With so many sewing efforts now in the works, Hulbert Supply on Route 3 has stepped up to serve as a drop-off location for the community-collected masks. The hospital currently has a universal masking policy in place, requiring all employees and support staff to wear masks. While cloth masks are not considered official personal-protective equipment and cannot be used by anyone seeing patients or in clinical settings, hospital representatives say they’re a huge boost for the dozens of support staff and employees working in the facility each day. With mask donations still rolling in, officials hope to provide employees with at least three masks each to allow for washing, replacements and a clean mask each day. More than 160 families, groups and individuals have donated to the Plattsburgh hospital since the global pandemic hit the region, supporting staff with everything from daily restaurant meals, heartfelt cards and now hand-sewn masks.

“Our health care workers are on the frontlines 2 4� 7 protecting our patients, each other and the community. Their dedication is heroic,” Haley said. “But people at home can be heroes, too. Their generosity can make a huge difference in slowing the spread of COVID-19 and potentially save lives.” Hospital officials say community support is more crucial than ever and the best way to help is for residents to stay home and continue practicing social distancing. For those looking to do more, the hospital is actively working to prevent any potential shortages in the future and also accepting donations for surgical and N95 masks, bleach wipes, hand sanitizer and gallon-size bottles of bleach. Donated items should be new, clean and still in original packaging. Those interested in donating should email foundationofcvph@cvph.org. Due to visitation and safety guidelines, any donation pick-up or drop-offs should be arranged by calling 518-562-7169. Another way area residents can help is by donating blood. Officials said the Adirondack Regional Blood Center remains open and is in need of additional blood and platelet donations. While there can be no more than four donors in the center at a time, those interested in donating can call 518-562-7406 for screening and an appointment. ■

Immune-Boosting Chicken Soup By MB Mitcham COLUMNIST

When I was a child, my mother’s first response when I told her that I was feeling unwell was always to make me chicken soup. Although the recipe changed a bit each time she made it, depending on what food was readily available in the house, eating that soup always made me feel better. Although my mother acted out of instinct, based on generations of moms who have used chicken soup as a means to promote wellness, modern science has supported the idea that chicken soup can help to boost immune system function, both from the airway-cleansing powers of hot liquids, and the nutrient-rich benefits of the food used to make chicken soup. Recent studies have shown that the chicken meat and

broth contain naturally-occurring chemicals that help to reduce inflammation. Additionally, the protein from the meat, fiber and nutrients from the vegetables, and healthy carbohydrates from the potatoes help provide the body with the fuel that it needs to help fight off infection. This variation on a traditional Yemenite recipe showcases some items not usually found in many traditional chicken soups. Hawaij, a spice blend known for its antiinflammatory properties, further helps promote a healthy immune response. The sun-dried tomatoes not only provide a pop of flavor, but also give some additional immune-boosting response from the antioxidants it contains. If you do not have hawaij on hand, you can easily make it using the recipe below, or can substitute the spice for an additional tablespoon of yellow curry powder. Enjoy! ■

PLATTSBURGH | An early casualty of state shutdown orders was a French conversation group that had been held monthly in a small meeting room in the Plattsburgh Public Library. But its demise was fleeting. The group wriggled out from the confines of isolation by meeting virtually, allowing members of the public to brush up on their French, chat about cultural issues and make new friends from the safety of their own homes. If anything, the conversation group, facilitated by Anne Jobin-Picard, a librarian with the Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System, is even more accessible now than it was before, when joining the group required a trip to Plattsburgh. With people confined to their homes, libraries big and small have stepped up with life-enriching diversions, from ebooks to virtual storytimes to vast research databases of any topic imaginable. “This is the silver lining of the stayat-home order,” said Steve Kenworthy, director of the CES Library System. “People have the time and need to explore services they can employ at home.” In some ways, libraries have been preparing for this day for a long time, as it became apparent that a building full of books was not going to be sustainable through the 21st century. They began lending out other items, from sewing machines to fishing poles to holiday cookie cutters. And they focused on activities — such as connecting with other readers, or learning a foreign language — and electronics that have been easily transferable to home environments. “Libraries are so much more than brick and mortar storefronts that check out physical books,” Kenworthy said. “And of course, what is getting attention now, is a wide array of virtual, online resources — providing wireless access to the internet, research databases, eBooks, eAudiobooks, and much more.” Even with libraries closed, they have found creative ways to meet community needs. Some have left stacks of books on the porch for the taking. Storytimes have been put up on YouTube. And, Internet

MB’S CHICKEN SOUP Recipe by MB

My take on a traditional Yemenite recipe, this chicken soup is nutrient-rich, easy to make, and best of all, delicious! It is a perfect choice for boosting immunity as well as for helping those who are feeling poorly to feel better! Ingredients: • 4 boneless and skinless chicken breast halves, cubed • 3 Cups chicken stock • 4 russet potatoes, diced • 1 medium leek, chopped • 2 celery stalks, chopped • 2 large carrots, chopped • ½ cup sun dried tomatoes (dry pack) • 2 cloves (or 2-3 teaspoons) garlic, minced • 1 Tablespoon hawaij (recipe below) • 2 Tablespoons yellow curry powder • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper • 1 Tablespoon dried sage • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste Directions: Instant Pot: 1. Turn on saute setting. Add chopped chicken, potatoes, leek, celery, carrots, tomatoes, garlic, hawaij, curry

powder, crushed red pepper, sage, and chicken stock to pot. 2. Turn off saute setting, and cover. Set vent to seal, then press manual setting, and set for 30 minutes. 3. When timer is done, either manually vent (using safety precautions to prevent burns), or allow to vent naturally. When venting is done, remove lid, turn to saute, and then stir contents of pot. Serve hot. Enjoy! Stove Top: 1. In large stock pot or dutch oven, add ½ cup of broth, then turn to medium-high. 2. Add minced garlic, and cook for 2 minutes. 3. Add cubed chicken, and cook until pink color is gone. 4. Add remaining ingredients, stir, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes (or until vegetables are soft), uncovering and stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking. 5. When vegetables are soft, season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot. Enjoy!

“Many of our member libraries are extending virtual services during this period of social distancing,” Kenworthy said. “For example we have joined with the Northern New York Library Network to beef up our eBook and eAudiobook collections. There are online storytimes from publishers and authors that are free for the looking. And we also have online resources for those who suddenly find themselves looking for a new job.” Along with a compelling suite of services, Jobin-Picard said libraries have a singular ability to connect people in a time of isolation. Libraries provide a mechanism for people to virtually gather for a program and “provide an intellectual activity for people, and some normalcy during this health crisis,” she said. Jobin-Picard said the health crisis has given libraries a new relevance, and demonstrated the commitment librarians have to the people in their communities. It has also shown “how resilient and adaptable libraries are, and can be, to the needs of their communities during unusual times.” Kenworthy said firm numbers have yet to be compiled, “but our sense is that there is a substantial increase on visits to our website and use of our online resources.” Libraries hope, once the public rediscovers what they have to offer, that they will have a new and permanent constituency after the pandemic has passed. “A person could do worse than have their local library’s web page as their personal home page,” Kenworthy said. ■

From the farm to COVID19-aﬀected families

By Andrea VanValkenburg STAFF WRITER

WEST CHAZY | As D&D Meats braced for impacts of the current public-health crisis, owners saw fi rsthand how local families were being affected by shuttered schools, lost jobs and hardship. While they worked to keep the doors of their small family-owned operation open and food on local tables, the Dutil family was inspired to do something more. “It’s definitely more stressful operating a business like this. Two times the stress, and daily ideas to keep the doors open,” said Shane Dutil, who operates the local staple with his parents, Adrian and Sharon. As they brainstormed how to adapt to the changes, the Dutils started collecting donations and supplies for families in need, hoping to help others facing hardship in the challenging times. Within a matter of days, they collected more than $600 and were soon contacted by Atlas Hoofed It Farm owners, Dan and Sara Burke, who wanted to join the cause and donate eight pigs from their Vermontville farm.

But due to licensing regulations, the effort needed a little more help with the required USDA processing and stamping and that’s when Tri-Town Packing in Winthrop stepped in to complete the effort. Dutil said the unique partnership shows “Competitors can work together for the goodness of the community.” “This is a true sign that their family, as well as ours, has a genuine care of their community.” Donations have been pouring in curbside to help offset the expenses and Dutil said two recent generous contributions helped push the collaborative effort even further. He thanked the anonymous donor and Dan Bosley from Cornerstone Pharmacy for the unexpected financial boost and said any remaining funds will go toward additional food and supplies. “The downside is that we will not have the meat processed until the end of the month, but once it’s done we will get it right out,” Dutil said. From there, the fresh pork chops, bacon, ham steaks, roasts and sausages, along with baskets of canned vegetables, pasta, potatoes, sauces and more, will head to several local agencies for distribution. The Joint Council for Economic Opportunity and Adirondack Action are two of the organizations helping to deliver the fresh supplies later this month. Organizers expect more than 1,200 pounds of fresh meat will be distributed from the collaborative community effort. ■

Ace is a handsome lab/hound mix, black and brown with white socks and chest. Ace is young, around 10 months old, and a goofy, happy and friendly pup. Ace is a happygo-lucky kind of dog, who seems to enjoy everything that life has to offer him: meeting new people and dogs, being outside, play time and especially treats! Because Ace is young and mostly untrained, he does need to work on his manners. He can sit and shake and will happily do so for treats, Ace LOVES treats! He is a good boy wants to please people but getting his attention can be a challenge at times. Ace likes to be outside and is very happy at the chance to burn off energy, running around with his nose to the ground. After some good exercise is the perfect time to snag Ace’s attention for training. He’s smart, though a bit stubborn, like most hounds. Because Ace is so outgoing, he gets along great with people, though he does have the tendency to be jumpy and loud when first saying hello. With the proper introduction,

he should get along with just about any dog, and he doesn’t mind cats, either. With a little hard work and lots of love, Ace will grow up to be a wonderful family dog. Please visit “Adopt a Pet” on the shelter’s website or call the shelter at (518)873-5000 to find out more about exuberant Ace. We are closed to the public until further notice. Please call the shelter regarding adoptions, surrenders or any other questions that you may have. Please direct any questions to Pam Rock, Shelter Manager. ■
