By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Seton Catholic Central Vice Principal Mary Forbes was honored recently for her 40 years as an educator at Seton Catholic Central, and St. JohnÕ s Academy before that. At a girlsÕ volleyball game this past week, Forbes thought nothing of the standing room only crowd which filed into the auditorium to capacity toward the end of the junior varsity game, or the presence of two reporters at that game. Forbes, who also serves as SetonÕ s Athletic Director and is a math teacher as well, was preparing to announce starting line-ups for the game when junior varsity coach Bernie CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Ò The topic of the civil rights struggle throughout American history is totally on the mark with our mission which is to educate people about the history of the Underground Railroad and the ongoing struggle for freedom and full rights in our society,Ó said Peter Slocum, programs director for the board of the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association. Ò The topic was a perfect match for our historical story, and the library system is always looking for ways to provide historical resources to the whole region.Ó So far, Ò The AbolitionistsÓ part one and two and Ò Freedom RidersÓ were shown with J.W.

Ò The Abolitionists,Ó released in 2013, shows the struggles of men and women who led the battle to end slavery in the late 1800s featuring faces such as the daughter of a rich South Carolina slaveholder Angelina Grimke and author of Uncle TomÕ s Cabin Harriet Beecher Stowe. After the documentary, the floor was open for discussion, with one discussion of how Harriet Tubman was not mentioned. Ò There were some interesting omissions in that piece,Ó Wiley said. Ò We had quite a few very knowledgeable people at that first showing, so a lot of people contributed to our conversation. Ò It was nice.Ó Even though the Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Lincoln, abolished slavery on Feb. 1, 1863, discrimination continued in the United States. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Hiding outside of the kitchen, Frederick Douglass heard desperate screams of help. He looked through the crack of a door and saw a black slave woman being pushed to the ground by a white man. Later picking her up and tying her hands with rope, dangling from the ceiling, he ripped the back of her shirt to whip her, making her scream louder until she hushed. This scene marked part one of the Ò The AbolitionistsÓ shown Feb. 1 as part of the Created Equal Film Series at the Plattsburgh Public Library celebrating Dr. Martin Luther KingÕ s Birthday, the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and Black History Month. The series, co-sponsored by the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association, the Martin Luther King Jr. Commission, the Clinton-EssexFranklin County Library System and the Plattsburgh Public Library, received a grant by the National Endowment for the Humanities to fund the five-part film series, giving also over 400 grants around the country.

The sound of a billion feet ... well, almost By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Plattsburgh was part of a world-wide event last weekend, meant to shine light into the dark world of domestic violence. One Billion Rising for Justice is a worldwide dancing event, held at the same hour in countries across the globe. Sponsored locally by Clinton County STOP Domestic Violence, 1 billion Rising was held at the Champlain Centre mall Feb. 15. Ò ItÕ s about bringing our voice to the world stage to celebrate the power of people to stop domestic violence, and say that weÕ re not going to put up with it any more in the worldÓ said Susan Kelley with STOP. Ò The idea is to take up space and dance, because we all have the right to our space.Ó The three-hour event featured dancing from
the Adirondack Liturgical Dance Troupe, a Zumba class, Masouda World Dance Ensemble belly dancers, GuibordÕ s North Country School of Dance, Lake Placid School of Ballet and Dance, and Salsa dancing. The event also corresponds with Teen Dating Violence Month, which hopes to bring light to the growing problem of teen violence. Ò ItÕ s not just about the adult generation, itÕ s about the generations to come,Ó said domestic violence advocate Sylvia Hough. STOP had a table set up adjacent to the dancers where they were giving out informational materials. Small to not-so-small crowds gathered throughout the event, held in the food court.

Janet Duprey seeking another term
PLATTSBURGH Ñ Assemblywoman Janet Duprey (R-I) released a statement recently advising that she is seeking re-election to her 115th Assembly District seat. Her district covers all of Clinton and Franklin Counties, and part of St. Lawrence County. Duprey is in her fourth term in the Assembly, representing the 115th District since November 2012, where it was formed from the 114th District, which Duprey served as representative of for three terms. Ò The North Country is a wonderful place to live and work with many positive actions tak-
ing place. I have devoted considerable time and energy to develop valuable bipartisan relationships with elected officials and people of all political parties in Albany and across the North Country. The spirit of cooperation through the DistrictÕ s counties, towns, villages, school districts and business community is critical as we move forward to maintain our outstanding quality of life and improve our economic development,Ó said Duprey in a prepared statement. No challengers to the 115th District seat have announced their intention to run yet.

Burgh Editorial
State needs to repeal the SAFE Act now
Ò Nobody needs 10 rounds to kill a deer,Ó or so bloviated our governor while he was in the process of ramming the so called Ò SAFE ActÒ down New YorkerÕ s throats. Passed in the dead of night in the wake of the Newtown school shooting, an outlier in the world of homicides if there ever was one, the SAFE Act takes away much of the protections New Yorkers are afforded under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In his Ò 10 rounds” pontification, the governor was referencing one section of the SAFE Act, since ruled unconstitutional, limiting magazine capacities to no more than an arbitrary limit of seven rounds. If you donÕ t need it to kill a deer, the governor implied, you shouldnÕ t be allowed to have it. LetÕ s look at this concept a little more deeply. First off, by this logic, we canÕ t imagine why snub-nosed revolvers should be legal. Nobody needs a snub-nosed .38 to kill a deer after all. And what about any shot smaller than 00 Buckshot? Nobody needs bird shot to kill a deer. Taking the governorÕ s Ò logicÓ ad absurdum, only slug shotguns, and rifles with calibers between 30-30 and 300 Winchester Mag should be allowed. Nobody needs anything other than that to kill a deer after all. And why seven rounds? A good hunter needs one, maybe two or three rounds to kill a deer. Why stop at seven? Ban anything above three rounds? What the governor overlooks here is the Second Amendment, the single most costly incomplete sentence in American history. The Second Amendment does not give Americans the right to just keep and bear deer rifles. It affords citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Assault rifles, Mr. Cuomo, are arms. They are protected under the Second Amendment. Gun control advocates will most certainly argue that itÕ s a matter of safety. Our children are being mowed down by assault rifles. While that was tragically true at Newtown, and Aurora, Colorado, and unfortunately some other mass shootings, itÕ s simply not the case that assault rifles are killing more people than other means. Statistics abound, but the FBIÕ s are typically considered the gold standard. LetÕ s take a look at the 2012 homicide stats, compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Homicides by all methods of firearm totaled 8,855. Of those 322 were by rifle — not assault rifles, any kind of rifle. (Separate statistics are not kept for assault rifles.) Add to this some unknown percentage for a category the FBI has for Ò Firearms, type not stated,” which totaled 1,749. Even given the statistical impossibility that all of these were rifles, that gives us a possible total of 2,071 homicides by some sort of rifle. An unknown, but definitely smaller, number of these rifles were assault rifles. Handguns on the other
hand were used in at least 6,371, plus whatever percentage of the 1,749 unclassified guns were handguns. So at the very farthest statistical borderline you are 66 percent more likely to be killed by a handgun than some sort of rifle. The true gulf between handguns and rifles is likely much higher. But wait, there are plenty of other ways to be killed. Keep the 322 deaths by rifle figure in mind. Now consider that 1,589 people were killed in 2012 by knives or cutting instruments. Also notable, 518 were killed by blunt objects, and 678 were killed by “fists, feet, etc.” Shotguns bring up the rear at 303, plus again some percentage of the unknown firearms. So, to keep our children safe, the governor targeted the second least dangerous death-inducing implement there is, based on FBI statistics. More people would be made safer if he had banned blunt objects, something, by the way, which isnÕ t constitutionally protected. Ignoring that obvious problem in the governorÕ s logic, anti-gun advocates will argue that the SAFE act also keeps us safer by mandating that mental health professionals report anyone who might espouse suicidal tendencies to the State Police, undoubtedly so their guns can then be confiscated by the State Police. Here is where this idea runs off the rails. Gun owners love their guns. Suicidal gun owners, or borderline suicidal gun owners, also love their guns. If a gun owner is considering suicide, they now know that if they reach out to a mental health professional and try to get help for their condition, they will lose their guns. Thanks to the SAFE Act, fewer people on the borderline of mental illness or suicide will seek help. Any gun owner who is feeling suicidal is going to keep that fact to themselves, instead of getting help. How, Mr. Cuomo, does that make us safer? LetÕ s make no bones about the true purpose behind the SAFE Act. Mr. Cuomo has for some time set his sights on higher office — now rumored to be that of vice president. He saw the possibility of gaining some national spotlight, plus lining up some liberal Bona Fides, for fund raising and national campaigning time, with a Ò Andrew Cuomo is tough on guns, so vote for the Clinton/Cuomo ticketÓ platform. As they say, the devil is in the details, and the parts of the SAFE act which havenÕ t already been found unconstitutional either do nothing to make New Yorkers safer, or will have the exact opposite effect. We respectfully ask our state legislators to repeal the SAFE Act now, and go to work on some measures that might have a chance of doing something other than making the situation worse. Ñ

Style & Substance: on being ready for change Dear Readers: This week, we are asking the question or maybe just giving some answers! We meet many people in our Life Coaching business who feel that they do not necessarily need therapy, but need something. They are not unhappy, but not quite happy; they may be feeling a sense of discontentment or feel disconnected in some vague sense. They can possibly define a goal but not the path to achieve it. These feelings indicate a readiness for change and in our words, being STUCK. This may seem simplistic (and we touch on it over and over again); however, this truth is often ignored, no action is taken and no change occurs. Humans are motivated by one of two forces, love and fear. Once we begin to take action from a point of love, we begin to get unstuck. Love can take many forms: PASSION FOR A CAUSE can lead us to speak up in ways that surprise us, to seek deeper meaning and connections, spark some resolvable conflict, and lead to better and more fulfilling relationships with a partner, spouse, or child. FALLING IN LOVE (or trying to) can energize us and allows us some confidence and freedom to risk. RESPONDING IN LOVE to someoneÕ s emotional high or low allows us to feel more intensely and clarify what is important to us. Opposite of LOVE, is FEAR, which not only keeps us stuck, but as Janet Reno said, Ò fear diminishes usÓ . It can leave us believing we are smaller and less adequate than we actually are. The biggest fear that holds us back is FEAR OF FAILURE. We often hear inspirational thoughts on not accepting failure but the reality is; failure has real repercussions and consequences in our lives. We often donÕ t try something because we have no guarantee that it WILL work out for us. FEAR OF BEING LEFT BEHIND happens when we see our peers making great strides in academics, sports, weight loss, or moving to a new place. This can be a motivation or a hindrance; your choice! So, the question becomes, how can we make a leap of faith,

perhaps fall short, and still remain positive and committed to growth? • Trust your intuition or your ‘gut.’ This emotion is more than a feeling; our intuition is a link to our past, how we have made and make decisions, or how we have met and perceived success. It is observation, interpretation, process, and practice. Intuition can be improved through attentive practices. Listen more than you speak. Observe your interactions throughout your day and keep a list of situations and outcomes that were favorable, and ideally what led to these successes. Begin to subtly change what isnÕ t working so well. • Erase the words ‘but’, ‘probably’, and ‘maybe’ from your vocabulary; in both your internal dialogue and conversations you have with family, friends, and colleagues. These three words are often referred to as middle words, very non-committal and status quo. Two states of being that keep you STUCK. • When assessing whether or not to try something new or

Come in and meet this funny and loving dog. ***UPDATE***Ruby was returned to us because she was urinating in the home. After Ruby was picked up she was brought into the vet’s office where she had a complete blood workup and a urinalysis. Every thing came back normal and we feel that she is just an anxious dog who will do well in a home where she will be with her people most of the time. Although Ruby has never shown dog aggression before she is now exhibiting some resource guarding of her food and space. Every day that seems to lessen, but she would do best in a home with either no dogs or a dog who doesnÕ t have to be dominant. Come meet this sweet dog who is need of a patient home where she can gain the confidence she needs. Ruby is an excellent companion dog!
make a change; we recommend two questions to ask yourself: Ò What could be the worst outcome if I do this/take this chance?Ó and Ò can I live with that?Ó If that outcome is palatable; make changes with some calculated risk; DONÕ T tell the world and set yourself in the spotlight and DO keep a foot in reality. The foot in reality assures you of security; meaning donÕ t just go out and quit your job to start a new venture; do two things simultaneously knowing your success is more likely because you are not desperate. It will be built upon the confidence of experience while venturing into the next step on your ever continuing path. • Talk to an objective person whom you feel has possibly already taken some risk and had positive outcomes. You will be surprised at how much failure and how many ‘restarts’ or ‘doovers’ they have had to get there. Best person is someone confidential and who will give you honest feedback. • Lastly, begin to work on and adopt just one quality you have seen in others who are making a difference in the world and their own lives; be BOLD, be PERSISTENT, be PASSIONATE! We DARE you!

Mary Forbes From page 1
Bullis coaxed the microphone from the suddenly suspicious educator. Forbes was ushered to the center of the court, as Bullis read from a plaque prepared for her. While he did, a line of 40 people formed, each presenting her with a blue and green carnation, one for each year of service. While numerous cameras clicked away, current students, former students, and friends exchanged their flowers for a hug from Forbes, who maintained her customarily cool demeanor throughout the procession. Several of those in the line were second generation students of Forbes. Ò The funny thing is, I taught about two thirds of these people,Ó said Forbes after she re-acquired her microphone. Ò SheÕ s the heart and soul of the school,Ó said Seton Principal Catherine Russell later. Ò She knows a couple generations of everybody. SheÕ s one of those
people who go through her life without much fanfare, but sheÕ s greatly affecting the lives of the people she touches. Russell credits Forbes as one of the people most responsible for SetonÕ s continued success over the last 25 years, as well as for her own success as principal at Seton. Forbes taught math at St. JohnÕ s Academy in Plattsburgh for 15 years, before it was merged with Mount Assumption Institute to form Seton Catholic Central in 1989. “The sense of appreciation we have; you don’t find people with that kind of dedication to stay at anything for 40 years, but especially in the education field. People just don’t stay that long,” said Russell. Forbes has given no indication that she plans to wind down her career any time soon, much to the delight of Seton parents, students and administration as well. When asked what the next 40 years would hold, Forbes just chuckled, but wouldnÕ t play her hand.
Walking into a diner, a black man sat on the side labeled Ò Colored Only.Ó Brave, young students walked in, black and white, and sat in the Ò White OnlyÓ section. They were denied service and were told to leave, but the students stayed and sat quietly until they received service, something that would not come to them easily. The film “Freedom Riders,” shown at the Plattsburgh Public Library Feb. 15, took an inside look at the struggles activists had in the 1960s when they challenged segregation in the Deep, Ò Jim CrowÓ South by riding public buses such as Greyhound and disobeying the system. Even though Ò The AbolitionistsÓ didnÕ t mention Harriet Tubman, the Ò Freedom RidersÓ did mention Martin Luther King Jr. only not in the way a person would expect. Ò The Freedom Riders wanted him, and he (Martin Luther King Jr.) declined,Ó Madison said. Ò They (the audience) didnÕ t see him in the same light. Ò But some felt it was a good thing because he couldÕ ve been killed.Ó The next film, “Slavery By Another Name,” will be played Feb. 22 at the Plattsburgh Public Library at 1 p.m. with Wiley as a discussion leader. Going back before the Freedom Riders, this film will show how even though slavery was legally abolished, new forms of labor kept African Americans in bondage until the beginning of World War II. Wiley said the two tactics used to implement Jim Crow was the Convict Lease System, a system of penal labor instituted in the American South after the emancipation of slaves by the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865, and Negro Peonage, the new slavery in the South. After slavery, resources werenÕ t available to black people, so they would turn either to a life of crime or remain in Negro Peonage. Many states in the south worked the system to their advantage and incarcerated once and kept incarcerating for a lifetime. “So, what they’re doing in ‘Slavery By Another Name’ is redefining black people, still calling them niggers, but, basically, nigger means criminal,Ó Wiley said. Ò So, itÕ s an amazing thing to watch all of this is playing out. Letting out a sigh, Wiley said, Ò My mind is blown by this crap. Blown.Ó Lastly, Ò The Loving StoryÓ will be played March 1 at the Plattsburgh Public Library at 1 p.m. with Robin Caudell, reporter from the Press Republican, and Portia Allie-Turco, professor of psychology at SUNY Plattsburgh as speakers. This film will show the marriage of Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple who were arrested in 1958 for violating Virginia’s ban on interracial marriage. Allie-Turco, originally from South Africa, will also be sharing her story on when her and her husband wed in an interracial marriage shortly after the end of the apartheid.

Doheny throws hat in ring for 21st WATERTOWN Ñ Matt Doheny has announced his bid for New YorkÕ s 21st Congressional District seat being vacated by Bill Owens. Doheny will seek the Republican, Independence and Conservative party lines for the Nov. 4 election. Ò I was honored that more than 120,000 voters chose me to represent them during the last election,Ó said Doheny. Ò Many told me they appreciated my real-world experience in tackling tough problems and working together with competing interests to find common ground. That approach and real-world experience is sorely needed in a Congress too full of career insiders.Ó “I’ve made a career out of finding ways to create growth opportunities, turn troubled companies around,
balance budgets and protect American jobs,Ó said Doheny, a Watertown businessman. Ò I want to apply that expertise to the problems facing Congress, while helping my community Ð the North Country, Adirondacks and Capital Region Ð attract good-paying jobs that are vital in the 21st century economy.Ó Doheny managed the distressed assets division of a Fortune 500 company for eight years. He became an expert in both identifying what caused companies to fail and how to improve them so that they could stay in business and retain American jobs. Doheny later formed his own local investment firm and now uses his acquired knowledge in turnarounds, development and business reforms while serving on the boards of direc-
tors of several national companies, such as Kodak, YRC Worldwide and Affinity Gaming. Doheny, the son of Sandra Ò KayÓ and the late Richard Doheny, grew up in the North Country and graduated from Alexandria Central School. In weighing his run, Doheny received an outpouring of encouragement from friends, family, neighbors, party leaders, elected officials and a few local newspapers. Ò I was humbled by strangers who stopped me in the grocery store or at the gas station and urged me to run again. Several friends I met on the campaign trail called and offered an encouraging word,Ó said Doheny. Ò IÕ m going to be out there every day working hard to get elected and be a good representative for them in Con-
gress.Ó He was all three partiesÕ candidate during the 2012 election Ð one of the closest House races in the nation. Rep. Bill Owens won by 1.9 percent in a district in which President Barack Obama carried by 6.1 percent. Doheny was also part of one of the closest House races in 2010, with just 1,990 votes separating him from the incumbent Ð while a fellow Republican who stayed on the Conservative Party line received 10,507 votes. DohenyÕ s enterance into the race will force a primary fight with North Country Republican Party choice Elise Stefanik. Stefanik, 29, from Essex County, was endorsed by the North Country Republican chairs earlier in February. Stefanik’s office was unavailable
Matt Doheny for comment. Other Republicans who have expressed an interest in running for theie pertyÕ s nod include Joe Gibson and Jamie Waller, both from Hamilton County, and Michael Ring from Adams Center.
Malone man faces life in prison for distributing marijuana SYRACUSE Ñ A Malone man was convicted in U.S. District Court of conspiracy to distribute more than 1,000 kilos of marijuana recently. Allan Peters, 42, was in the Syracuse court, before Judge Glenn T. Suddaby. Peters will face a maximum of life in prison plus a fine of $10,000,000 when he is sentenced. Peters was accused of smuggling thousands of pounds of marijuana from Canada into the United States, and sending thousands of dol-
lars in proceeds back to Canada. PetersÕ Snye, Quebec, Canada residence, on the Akwesasne Mohawk Indian Reservation was reportedly used as a staging area for the operation, which brought 100 to 200 pounds of marihuana at a time in hockey bags into the United States. Law enforcement officers made significant seizures from PetersÕ operation on three separate dates in 2009, 2010 and 2011. On May 8, 2009, US Border Patrol seized about 250 pounds
of marijuana in North Hudson, NY.; on Sept. 15, 2010, Mohawk Tribal Police and New York State police seized about 240 pounds from a vehicle leaving the reservation; and on March 1, 2011, Akwasasne Mohawk Police and U.S. Border Patrol seized about 100 pounds of marijuana in Hogansburg. The operation against Peters was carried out by a joint task-force including elements of the Drug Enforcement Agency, Homeland Security
Investigations, the United States Border Patrol, Air and Marine Operations, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police, the Akwasasne Mohawk Police and the New York State police. The District Attorneys’ offices of Franklin and Clinton Counties were also involved in the investigation. Peters is scheduled to be sentenced July 10 in federal court in Syracuse.

Events planned at SUNY Plattsburgh to recognize the Holocaust By Paige Passman
denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ On the campus of SUNY Plattsburgh, professors are getting ready for a visit from a Holocaust survivor, which is happening on March 31. The visit will be in conjunction with a number of events during the Days of Remembrance Holocaust Commemoration. The Holocaust survivor who will be coming will be a woman, to help celebrate March being WomenÕ s History Month. The speaker is from the Holocaust Memorial in Washington, D.C., which is a part of the Smithsonian Museum. Typically the specific speaker isn’t assigned until shortly before a speaking engagement, therefore her name will be identified at a later date. Jonathan Slater, who is a professor and an advisor for the universityÕ s Hillel Club is helping out and preparing for the visit. The survivor isnÕ t the same person as the one who was supposed to come to the campus during October, but wasnÕ t able to because of the government shutdown. When asked how important it is to bring a Holocaust survivor to campus, Slater responded: Ò For Jewish students it would be more sensitive about the history of the holocaust. For non-Jewish students we, meaning the Jewish people on campus, have a duty to bring a survivor here on campus because you have a lot of young students on campus that donÕ t know what happened.Ó
Ò We all need to know about these stories. Our minds are not capable of imagining what happened and to be living at that time, not just as Jews but the general population,Ó he said. Not only is the campus hosting a holocaust survivor, but they are also putting on a play called Ò Bright Room Called Day,Ó by famed Play write Tony Kushner. The play will be held on March 6, 7 and 8. The play is set in Germany in 1932-1933, and it revolves around a concerned group of friends who are caught up in the events of the fall of the Weimar Republic, and the rise of Adolf Hitler. It also centers on a woman named Agnes Eggling, a middle-aged actress. Her apartment is occasionally interrupted by scenes featuring Zillah, a young woman in the 1980’s living on Long Island who believes that President Reagan is becoming just like Hitler. On April 24, Dr. Freda Ginsberg will be the keynote speaker at the Douglas and Evelyn Skopp Holocaust Memorial Gallery at the Feinberg Library during the Days of Remembrance Holocaust Commemoration. Her topic will be Ò The Inescapable Legacy of the Holocaust.Ó This spring the college is also hosting The Douglas R. Skopp Creative Competition on the Theme of the Holocaust. The competition is for creative or scholarly works on the theme of the Holocaust. Two, $100 prizes will be given out to the winning students, and they will be able to read or perform their work at the Days of Remembrance event April 24. Information on the
competition and an entry form can be found on Facebook at The Douglas R. Skopp Creative Competition on the Theme of the Holocaust. Reporter Shawn Ryan contributed to this story

Dated:01/10/2014 Richard A. Marks Enforcing Officer E X P L A N AT O R Y NOTES The following notes are not part of the allegations of the NOTICE & PETITION and are included to
provide general information about the tax foreclosure and redemption process. 1. Schedule A to the Notice and Petition is the list of the Delinquent Taxes that was filed with the Clinton County Clerk’s Office for the above referenced tax years. 2. Under the Column “Tax Type”, the term “Property” refers to City and County land taxes, delinquent City refuse, water and sewer bills and any special assessments. The term “School” refers to City of Plattsburgh School District taxes. 3. The Column “Amount Due” is the amount due as of January 8th, 2014 for delinquent 2012 Property and 2012-13 School taxes and, where indicated, 2011 taxes. The Amount Due does not include tax foreclosure costs1, and interest that will accrue on the Amount Due on the 15th day of each month during the foreclosure process. The Amount Due does not include 2013 Property Taxes or 2013-14 School taxes which must be paid to redeem a parcel from the foreclosure proceeding. For example, if you owe taxes for 2011, 2012 and 2013, the law requires the liens to be redeemed in reverse chronological order which means the 2013 taxes are redeemed first and the 2011 taxes are redeemed last. The tax foreclosure proceeding will continue until the 2011 tax lien is paid. 4. To confirm the amount you must pay to redeem a property from the tax foreclosure proceeding, please contact the City Chamberlain by calling 518-563-7704, or email inquiries addressed to fcs@cityofplattsburghny.gov.
