NEW WING AT CVPH

This Week PLATTSBURGH

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — With sufficient technology improvements, the Internet could provide jobs for locals and allow new people to come to the Adirondack Park to live and work at home. Job opportunities in the North Country is no longer reliant on the industries of mining, agriculture and timber. In rural communities, the future for filling homes and schools with year-round residents and job creation for current residents could come from employment at companies elsewhere through telecommuting. A roundtable discussion was held at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake on Oct. 24 to address community concerns and educate participants about how to bring successful broadband connections to rural communities. The forum was led by the New York State

CVPH opens new wing as progressive care center By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — CVPH Medical Center officially unveiled its newest renovation Nov. 12. The new wing containing 22 private and health efficient rooms is located on the medical center’s fourth floor. It will open to patients Nov. 20. The unveiling was marked with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by CVPH medical staff, Assemblywoman Janet Duprey, Congressman Bill Owens and other community leaders. The ribbon cutting ceremony comes at the end of two years of work to reconstruct the floor to better accommodate patients and allow for single occupancy rooms. “We’re trying to get every patient in a private room,” said Stephens Mundy, President and CEO of CVPH Medical Center. “Our goal is to have 97 percent of our rooms private rooms.” The new wing has 22 rooms which are all private. The hospital is licensed to hold about 328 beds. Mundy said the floor will be part of a universal bed concept where the level of service changes to match the needs of patients. “Patients will receive a variety of treatment. It won’t be for a certain demographic of patient,” Mundy said. The rooms are equipped to facilitate the treatment needs of the patients for most of their length of stay. “This is a phenomenal addition to the medical center,” Duprey said. “This was a relatively old facility and there are all kinds of things that have changed in the last 20 years. Technology, the rooms and the floors were not structured to utilize the advancements in technology so that’s a huge increase in availability,” Owens said. “People have gotten bigger over the past 20 or 30 years and so that I think is very important that these rooms were built larger to accommodate people more easily,” Owens said.

Being in a private room is also important to people, Owens said. “I think it facilitates people to get well more quickly, and improves the service provided by nurses,” Owens said. “If you are in a double room, that means there are double the interruptions at night. If you’re in a room by yourself you’re interrupted much less often. I think for a whole lot of reasons this is really a big step forward for patients, staff at the hospital and the community.” “It’s a phenomenal addition to a great medical center, I was here when they made a lot of the additions,” Duprey said. “This is just one more that’s bringing health care in the North Country to a new level. The private rooms are better, they are better mentally and physically, there is less chance of infection and people

just get well quicker. That’s what it’s about.” “These new rooms have so many hookups allowing procedures right in the room so they aren’t transporting. You know every time you take a patient out of the room and transport they are subject to infection or something happening, particularly for older people,Ó Duprey said. The “R4” renovation project was funded with a $5.6 million grant from the New York State Department of Health’s Health Care Efficiency and Affordability Law (HEAL NY) which provides resources to uniquely situated hospitals and health care providers seeking to reconfigure business strategies and clinical services to better meet community health care needs. Planning for this project began in 2011 with the implementation of a multidisciplinary design team including architectural/ design services, patient representatives, CVPH facilities and support services, patient care operations, medical staff, nursing and construction management services. During the design process much attention was paid to patient safety, infection control and energy conservation with the goal to build a new patient environment that would meet the needs of patients and their families for years to come. The project consisted of a complete floor to ceiling renovation of all systems supporting patient care on the 4th floor in the hospital’s R tower. lt’s a comprehensive re-build of that floor which began with asbestos abatement and demolition and resulted in a completely new, state-of-the-art patient care unit dedicated to Progressive Care. Contractor Jeff Wringley of PC Construction said his crew began abatement last year and completely gutted the fourth floor of the medical center. “We redid everything right from scratch,” Wringley said. “We would make sure four rooms on the floor below us were empty and reconstructed the floor literally four rooms at a time.” The R4, as well as the R3 Progressive Care Unit, will also incorporate the universal bed delivery care model meaning that when a patient is admitted to Progressive Care level, and then downgraded, they will remain in the same room until discharge. This approach to care decreases the need for patient transfers which, ultimately, enhances patient safety and satisfaction. The new floor will open to patients on Nov. 20. Mundy said over the next 10 to 15 years the hospital plans to renovate three of four more floors dedicated to patient care.

World War II veteran finally receives his medals Long awaited ceremony takes place on Veteran’s Day By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH— This Veterans Day saw a ceremony 68 years in the making, when 91-year-old World War II veteran Joseph Burnell was finally awarded the medals he earned in combat. Sitting in a wheelchair and wrapped in a blanket against the cold November morning, Burnell was all smiles as Steve Bowman, director of the Veterans Service Agency, pinned the medals on his chest during the annual flag lowering ceremony at the Veteran’s Park at the old base oval. He received a Prisoner of War medal, an Army Good Conduct medal, the European, African and Middle Eastern Theater campaign medal with two Bronze Stars, and the World War II Victory Medal. “This is great. I never expected this. I was not thinking I would ever get these,” said Burnell. Burnell served in the Army from 1942 until 1945.

Bowman explained that after World War II, most soldiers returning from war simply went back to their lives, their jobs, started families, and didn’t follow up with the military to make sure they were awarded medals they deserved. This was the case, he said, with Burnell’s missing medals. When Burnell’s paperwork was being processed for a North Country Honor Flight trip to Washington this past summer, the oversight was finally noticed. Burnell, Bowman pointed out, served the country far beyond his military service. He was the volunteer driver of the Disabled American Veterans van, which takes veterans to medical appointments in Albany. He drove the van until he was 82. When he first started driving the van, Bowman said, he was the only driver the DAV had. Following that ceremony, the Robert A. LaFountain Chapter 179 Disabled American Veterans conducted the annual flag lowering ceremony, simultaneously lowering all the flags at the Plattsburgh Barracks Veteran’s Park. Pictured at right: Joseph Burnell showing off his newly awarded World War II medals.

Burgh Editorial

Don’t tread on the Thanksgiving holiday Traditions change over time — Some for the good and others for the bad. As the holiday season approaches, there is one tradition, started within the past two decades, that in our opinion is much more for the bad than good. As early as 10 years ago, the popular thing to do after Thanksgiving dinner (and the cleanup if you were the lucky household to host) was to get up the next morning, around 6 or 7 a.m., drive on over to the local department store and see what there was to buy in a tradition that started to be called, “Black Friday.” Why black? Because this one shopping day created so much revenue for stores, it was the day that their books went from being in the red (debt) to being in the black (profit). Since then, things have started to change, and not, we feel, for the better. A 6 a.m. opening became 5 a.m. Not to be outdone, the competitor started opening their doors at 4 a.m., then 3 a.m., 2 a.m., 1 a.m. and even midnight Black Friday. Last year, the wave of tradition going wrong breached over the sea wall, spilling over into Thanksgiving Day with stores starting their deals and specials as early as 6 p.m. The tidal wave has continued into this year as more and more stores have announced that, instead of giving their employees the day off to be with family and friends and to prepare for the onslaught of Black Friday customers, many are going to keep their doors open Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28 and start the deals even earlier. These businesses include K-mart, Target, Sears, Best Buy, Toys R Us, Macy’s, J.C. Penny, Kohl’s and Wal-Mart, to name a few. Some of these stores will still wait until the evening to open, while others will operate Thanksgiving Day as if it were Aug. 28. Why? Some retailers have claimed with the, “holiday shopping season,” the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, cut down by six days, they need the extra time. If Black Friday is the single largest profit-making day of the year though, the eight extra hours should not matter in the grand scheme of attaining the all-mighty dollar. It is not as if there is a competitive advantage to opening a day earlier because, as we have seen with every other promotion, once one company does it, everyone else falls in line and follows suit. What will all of this mean? It mean these big box companies will force their employees to work on Thanksgiving Day. For a college student or young adult who needs their job in order to support themselves, they are put in a tough position because they fear losing their jobs but also yearn for the traditions and family bonding that comes with the traditional Thanksgiving. Really, if officials of these companies stepped back for a minute and considered the repercussions of their actions, they would see that putting their employees in this situation does not shed one ounce of positive light on either them or their companies. Thanksgiving Day is — or should we say was — one of only two holidays that were still viewed in the world of retail with some level of reverence and solemnity, along with Christmas Day. They are the two days that you would never even think about going to the store because you knew that the store was closed so shop owners and employees could be where they belonged, at home with family and friends. Yes, Christmas has been over-commercialized as stores start their advertising blitzes and holiday music before kids have even put on their Halloween costumes, but the day in and of itself has always been seen as, “hands off,” the way Thanksgiving used to be, as well. So, on Nov. 28, we encourage everyone to be where they belong, wherever family and friends are, enjoying the holiday. Worry about shopping the next day or thereafter because the dirty little secret is: if the product is still there, so are the deals touted by these retailers. Ñ

New Biomass Project Economic Impact Calculator available PLATTSBURGH — The New York Biomass Energy Alliance (NYBEA) has announced the completion and availability of a Local Impact of Woody Biomass Energy Projects Quick Assessment Tool to help community leaders, planners and developers analyze the localized impacts of proposed woody biomass energy projects. The new tool, developed in partnership with the New York Farm Viability Institute, and funded by a U.S. Forest Service Wood Education and Resource Center (WERC) Grant, assists leaders in need of ways to quickly and realistically clarify potential project impacts and payback for their specific communities. The Excel-based tool is primarily geared for use in the Northeastern U.S., including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New England states, but can use used by communities anywhere in the country. The Quick Assessment Tool is available online at http://www.biomassenergyqat.wordpress.com. “This Quick Assessment Tool engages community members with real-world, localized calculations regarding the impact of a proposed project in four key areas: economic costs and benefits, the sustainability of local forestry resources, and air emissions and transportation impacts,” says NYBEA Executive Administrator Alice Brumbach. “The

fuel expense savings projection is one community leaders should find of interest as heating with woody biomass is less expensive on a cost per BTU basis compared to fossil fuels.” Brumbach adds that chipping treetops and branches discarded as unusable for furniture and lumber production is a cost-effective and sustainable way of utilizing forest resources for energy. The Quick Assessment Tool calculation software allows project leaders to enter information about the type of biomass system under consideration to compare its impact to other types of heating systems. The proposed project can be for new construction or to replace or supplement an existing system. Data fields include the percent of heat load the woody fuel will provide, the current annual fossil fuel use, and the average cost of locally-available wood fuel, such as wood chips and pellets. The Quick Assessment Tool, available in lite and full versions with a User Manual, is free for use and is easily downloaded at http://www. biomassenergyqat.wordpress.com. The site includes a video tutorial and frequently asked questions. Learn more at www.newyorkbiomass.org or contact Alice Brumbach at 607-316-3437, abrumbach@newyorkbiomass.org.

Event raises toys for Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — Emily Estes was challenged by her mother to change the world, even if it’s for just one person. Now she has the U.S. Marine Corps and North Country Honor Flight helping her do it. The challenge came shortly after Hurricane Sandy, when many people’s attention was turned toward the people whose lives were ravaged by the storm, and what people could do to help. They tossed around ideas like collect-

ing coats at Christmas time, or food for the food shelf, but Emily had a better idea: have a party. Emily, who is 12 and in the seventh grade at Beekmantown Central School, thought that for her birthday party, instead of bringing gifts for her, people could bring gifts that could be given to Toys for Tots. The idea grew, and so did the guest list. “It started out with just the people in our house but the numbers just got bigger and bigger, and more people wanted to get involved and it became like (the movie) Jaws: ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat,’ so we needed a bigger venue,” said Carol Estes.

Jane Sample, co-owner of the Rainbow Wedding and Banquet Hall in Altona offered their Blue Room, and Jane’s son Brandon volunteered to DJ. With help from the local Marine Corps recruiter, Gunnery Sergeant Helmsteder, the first ever “Teens for Marines” dance was held. “Last year we had a good amount of kids. We had a car full of toys. We filled the trunk, the back seat, the front seat. You almost couldn’t sit in the car,” said Emily. This year they’re hoping for a Gunnery Sergeant Helmsteder with several of the children who took much bigger event, with many part in last year’s Teens for Marines dance. Photo provided more toys for needy children. “Every extra toy, that’s an exKaefitz. tra happy kid,” said Carol. “We just want the This year’s Teens for Marines dance will kids to come and have a good time.” be held on Friday, Dec. 13 from 6 - 9 p.m. in Emily started a Facebook page, Teens for Ma- the Blue Room of the Rainbow Hall.

Broadband From page 1

Broadband Program Office, USDA, and Adirondack Action for a Smart Rural Communities (SRC). “One of the major talking points was a lot of people don’t have access to broadband,” said Wild Center Director of Philanthropy Hillarie Logan-Dechene. “At the conference, the attending agencies listened to audience questions and gave people the right contacts for them to call if they are serious about improving their broadband connections.” Topics that were discussed included: USDA Rural Development and New York State Broadband Programs, eligibility requirements, program structures and purposes, funding pathways and statewide needs as well as general discussion on each of the program’s administration. About 70 community members attended the discussion. Speakers included Bob Puckett of the New York Telecommunications Assoc., Dave Wolf of Development Authority of the North Country, Rob Ottara and Renee Hotte of the USDA. “There are resources out there for people to bring broadband to their community. The number one person to call would be Angel Liotta, the Broadband outreach director with Empire State Development,” Logan-Dechene said. If the expansion of broadband is successful, programs such as Adirondack Teleworks — based in the town of Indian Lake — could help open up job oppoprtunities for Adirondackers and lure more telecommuters to the region. Adirondack Teleworks was built to help people find telecommuting jobs anywhere in the Adirondack Park through the Internet. Bill Murphy, public relations manager and member of the Adirondack Teleworks, said the not-for-profit group has been working for three years to get funding for broadband projects in the region. “We’re trying to promote current teleworks. We now have the ability to live and work here,” Murphy said. “Also we need to bring in training for workforce investment. We’re hoping to get money to start training people in digital literacy.” Murphy said if they can get the funding, the goal is to begin digital literacy training in local libraries with 120-hour courses. At the end of the course, participants will receive a work readiness certificate. “When people walk in with the course certification, they’ll have all the qualifications to work in a telecommuting situation,” Murphy said.

Keene couple

Established telecommuters working in the digital field can more successfully move their home offices to the Adirondacks, as opposed to vacationing here, according to Keene resident Dave Nethaway, who is vice president of technology for the Human Services Research Institution, based in Cambridge, Mass. “The Adirondacks for us was always a place we said we’d want to retire one day or, if we were financially able, buy a second home,” Nethaway said. “Then we thought, ‘Why not live the dream now?’” From his Boston office, Nethaway established a technology management network for his company’s West Coast branch. “We wanted to recruit the best candidates for the job without losing the opportunity because they didn’t want to live where our offices were,” Nethaway said.

www.the-burgh.com Essentially, Nethaway built a system to support telecommuting and then used it himself by moving to the Adirondack Park with his wife, Jessica Hartley. Nethaway said he can’t do his job without email, VoIP technologies (voice over Internet protocol), chat technologies, video conferencing, mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), online collaboration services like Sharepoint, VPN (virtual private network) and other remote access technologies. During the first two years the couple lived in Keene, they both telecommuted for companies based in Boston. Hartley eventually took a position locally as the executive director for the North Country SPCA, based in Elizabethtown. “My wife and I had always come here for hiking or vacations,” Nethaway said. “We were married in Lake Placid. When we first decided to move here, we really didn’t have a place picked out, so we cast a wide net of where we could live.” Ultimately, their decisions were narrowed down to locations with sufficient broadband for their work. “Most of the bigger communities have big companies like Time Warner or Charter Communications offering broadband services. In Keene, they had to make a community effort and fundraised for a local broadband system,” Nethaway said. “We knew Keene from hiking trips when we were tourists. Now we’ve come to love it since we moved here. We’re moving to a bigger place to support our growing family of dogs and cats, but we’re staying in Keene.”

Moving to Minerva

For Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce Director Lisa Salamon, who lives in the town of Minerva, the viability of telecommuting made it possible for her to move to the Adirondack Park and earn a living. Salamon works in the insurance business as a freelance crisis consultant for businesses and major corporations. “I moved here from West Chester, Pa., an area with very reliable, very fast fiber optic network. There was never a technical problem,” Salamon said. “I had a lot of travel. There was a lot of working out of home and a lot of time in airports.” Salamon began working as the new chamber director in January. She had been visiting her traditional log cabin on Minerva Lake with her family for years; it was their vacation home, away from the hustle and bustle of city life in West Chester, a county seat of 18,000 residents just outside of Philadelphia. So why move to the town of Minerva — population around 800 — in New York’s Adirondack Park? “We had a second home here that we loved, and we were trying to spend more time here,” Salamon said shortly after being hired by the chamber. “We were going back and forth between two homes and said, ‘We love it so much here, why are we doing this?’” So they moved here in August 2012. Almost empty nesters, the Salamons have two girls, one who’s a senior at Boston University and another who’s a college graduate living in Connecticut. They are proud transplants, Adirondackers at last. “Just like everyone else here I have several jobs,” Salamon said. Sustainable connection is key for Salamon to maintain her job and keep up with her work responsibilities. “I couldn’t tell you how many times Frontier Communications would crash when I was trying to send large files,” Salamon said. “I would recommend people have two or three backups when

Veterans Day

The Burgh - 11 they work this way.” One of Salamon’s backup Internet connections is the Town of Johnsburg Library in North Creek, located across the street from her Chamber office at the Tannery Pond Community Center. “You can’t depend on one service entirely. It is better than it was two or three years ago,” Salamon said. “I’ve gone countless times to the library and parked outside. At 5 or 7 p.m., I’ve seen a couple people doing the same in their cars. All you can see is the glow of their Dave Nethaway works from laptops.Ó home with his sidekick, Daniel With the addition of a reli- the dog. able Internet connection, Salamon said a viable telephone connection is a necessity for maintaining her connection to clients. “I have a Verizon cellphone extender, so it makes my home a hotspot to get cell service,” Salamon said. “It’s a one-time purchase of the extender, then it’s connected through your DSL line and I can get cell service within 1,000 feet of my house.” Having a cell phone hotspot isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Salamon said it’s attracted connection-hungry cell phone users who have parked their cars in front of her house. “There are camps up my street, and one time a van full of teenagers just stopped in front of my house because all of a sudden they had cell service,” Salamon said. “They kept coming back and sitting in my yard texting or calling people. We eventually disconnected the box for the night.” Salamon said the extender has otherwise been a god sent. She recommends anyone in who wants to telecommute to purchase the device for their homes. Nethaway said he realizes that telecommuting isn’t for everyone but for his family it was ideal for letting him embrace the way of life in the Adirondacks while maintaining his career. “The balance between development and the environment that can be found here,” Nethaway said. “I think that attracting telecommuters can be a way to strengthen and grow our communities while maintaining that balance, especially if we continue to be mindful about how we build out and provide the infrastructure that supports telecommuting.”

The Veteran’s Club helps military students transitioning into college life, often times coming directly from active duty. “I call it the triple whammy of transition,” said Tracy Guynup, Assistant Registrar and Veteran’s Affairs Coordinator. “They are often transitioning from military to civilian life, to family life, and also to college life.” The transition to college life can be especially tricky, says Guynup, especially coming from a military culture which is very regimented and most decisions are made for you, to a college culture where very few decisions are made for you. The Veteran’s Club runs several events for veterans throughout the year, and offers veterans a network of social support on campus. They also administer a Veteran’s Assistance Fund, making emergency loans available to veterans who might find themselves coming up short in the middle of a semester. Very often, Guynup says, veterans have to wait for GI Bill funding to come through, leaving them short of funding for things like books and supplies. “I want those veterans to come in that door feeling like they belong. They really want to learn, they’re hard workers and they throw themselves into it body and soul,Ó Guynup said. Guynup wears the same hat at Plattsburgh State, where he is Student Veteran Support Coordinator. Plattsburgh State has 223 military affiliated students, and was just ranked in the top 30 “Veteran Friendly” colleges in the country.
