City approves local law for snow removal, adding fine

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — City councilors approved last week a local law governing the removal of snow and ice on public sidewalks.

The new law includes imposing fines on property owners who don’t clear their sidewalks of snow or ice within 24 hours after public notice of the end of a storm.

The fines will be placed on top of fees ranging from $174 to $215 that the city can already charge for maintenance. The amount of the fine, however, is yet to be determined.

SNOW REMOVAL CONCERNS

Before the voting took place, two public hearings took place that night and Oct. 1, where community members expressed their concerns to the council regarding the revised city policy.

On Oct. 1, Councilman Paul O’Connell read an email sent by community member Connie Durkee, who lives off of a three-lane road making it more difficult to clear snow due to snow plows.

The code now states that if the city plows deposit snow on a sidewalk more than 12 inches, which was previously six inches, then the owner is exempt from removing the snow — a challenging effort for some members of the community.

“Snow can be hard and even unsafe to

shovel,” said Lonnie Fairchild, who was part of the Snow Removal Advisory Committee.

“The city should not make residents clean up any snow that plows accidently deposit on the sidewalk.”

If the snow is lower than 12 inches and the property owner fails to clear or remove the snow or ice within those 24 hours, city employees or designated contractors will remove and treat the snow or ice, but that’s where the fine comes in — another major concern for the public.

“Fines as a next step is just not acceptable,” said Nancy Allen, who was also part of the Snow Removal Advisory Committee.

PLATTSBURGH — With no sound traffic signal to guide them, the blind and visually impaired relied solely on the driver’s vision as they crossed the intersection at Margaret and Cornelia, hoping they would notice the white cane and Teah know its meaning.

Dowling This difficult task surprised temporarWriter ily visually impaired Mayor James Calnon and councilman Joshua Kretser as they took on the challenge themselves.

“To approach an intersection with no audio aid of when the lights are changing and rely on your other senses to hear traffic patterns was nervewracking,” Kretser said. “I never realized how much goes into being able to maneuver around the city or any place with a visual impairment.”

The North Country Association for the Visually Impaired (NCAVI) celebrated National White Cane Awareness Day on Oct. 15 at City Hall.

Event seeks to raise mental health awareness, erase stigma

By Alex Ayala

suncommunitynews@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Do you know where to go for help when a family member has a mental illness or substance abuse?

With these two issues becoming more visible in America,

representatives from local behavioral and substance abuse programs came together last week to discuss what services are available.

“People are uncomfortable acknowledging they don’t feel well, or are suicidal or might have an addiction and don’t want to reveal that to their families or workplace,” Peter Trout, Director for Community Mental Health Services said.

One in five Americans experienced some sort of mental illness in 2010, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

There is no word on yet if this is going to be an annual forum, but Trout hopes there will be more like these to educate the public, Constance Wille, Execu-

tive Director of the Champlain Valley Family Center for Drug Treatment and Youth Service, said this is a great way for her to get the word out.

Attendees also discussed how these services can be improved and how agencies can market themselves better.

Michael Kettle, Director of Regional Services for Conifer Park, said he realized the services have to reach out as well because many people, especially young people, want to volunteer and help.

“We just need to reach out more as well,” said Kettle. “And we might be very surprised what resources are available in this community that could make these resources that much richer.”

One of those volunteers is 25-year-old Angelia Staley, a nursing student from Champlain Valley Tech School.

When it was time for the audience to ask questions, Staley raised her hand and said that she hadn’t heard of some of them.

“They are doing what they can to help, legitimately they are,” Staley said. “They know it’s a serious thing and they’re doing what they can.”

She also offered the idea to the panel to use college students and young people to help and volunteer their time to the services, which many gladly agreed.

“The greatest takeaway for me tonight is how many people were in the audience that are interested in helping us,” Wille said. “I was overwhelmed after I was finished speaking tonight — I had about 8-9 nurses talk to me in ways we can work together to get the message out. I was not expecting that.”

Kettle said stigmas remain.

They often prohibit people from seeking help.

“It’s okay to get help.” Kettle said.

Town of P’Burgh collects public input on waterfront project

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Last week, the Town of Plattsburgh hosted a two-day public event to discuss the Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan.

It included a series of hands-on design sessions, technical and stakeholder meetings and conceptual design renderings from a design team to create a vision of the region, the town and each hamlet based on votes of approval and disagreement from the public.

Over 50 community members from Morrisonville, Cadyville, Treadwells Mills, Cliff Haven and Cumberland Head expressed and posted their comments and concerns on sticky notes identifying redevelopment opportunities to improve access and linkages to the Saranac River and Lake Champlain waterfronts.

“We have all these great waterfront resources and tend not to use them,” said Trevor Cole, planning technician for the Town of Plattsburgh. “Not every hamlet has good waterfront access, so that’s why we’re working toward better access and recreation.”

NEW IDEAS Members of the Laberge Group and town board appointed Public Advisory Committee received many different comments and suggestions on the proposed projects they came up with, including adding more canoe and kayak access and adding parking while also preserving the land.

Community members added canoe and kayak access to Scomotion Creek that comes out near Lakeside Apartments and ends near Plattsburgh City Beach — a place that previously had access.

The committee and Laberge Group took all these recommendations and comments posted on the bulletin boards and are now putting together a draft plan of all the goals and map illustrations.

They hope to complete the plan by January 2016 and host another forum, similar to this one, to get more feedback and create a final plan by March.

“The public may have a great idea that we don’t or that we’re not seeing,” said Rebecca Yanus, junior planner for the Laberge Group.

“It’s great to have their input.”

PLAN DETAILS The town received a grant from the NYS Department of State Environmental Protection Fund Waterfront Revitalization Program for the preparation of the waterfront.

The grant was for $25,000 with an additional $25,000 from the town toward the development of the plan.

As the plan develops, there will be several other public hearings where the town will present drafts of the documents as they’re developed.

The next waterfront event date in January 2016 is yet to be determined.

“These events are intended to really give people an opportunity to reflect a little bit on what they’re thinking and take away that public meeting environment,” said Robert Holzman, senior project manager for ELAN. “These are their resources to use and we want them to help us better understand how to use them.”

I struggled listening to the first Democratic Presidential Debate last week.

Knowing the national debt now stands at $18.4 trillion dollars and growing, it’s hard to imagine how they could continue to discuss expanding free give away programs.

What’s even harder to understand is why audience was clapping when they proposed them.

It seems that too many of the candidates from both of the parties are racing to the extreme edges of their political beliefs in order to earn the nomination. Conventional wisdom in the past dictates they move back to the middle to win the election. I think that process is just one of the reasons why the electorate is so disgusted with politics today.

If they really want their candidates to be far left or far right then it’s understandable why they are so disappointed when their candidate fails to deliver once elected. The reality we must come to grips with is this nation can’t survive if it’s all far left or far right. The politicians recognize this once they are in office, but why do we as a people allow these foolish promises to swing public opinion so wildly, creating expectations when we know these promises are not always realistic?

Growing up it was my understanding that this nation was made up of self made, self motivated, free spirited people. It’s what made us unique and the envy of the world that we enjoyed the freedom to be anything we wanted to be.

So with a people who know what they want and are willing to go out and earn it on their own, why do we need the government to give us things that only serve to diminish our own personal drive?

Let’s take college for example. All the candidates on stage last week pushed the notion that free tuition for public college should be provided by the government.

I know many people who are skilled with their hands and are very happy with the lives they have made for themselves without the college degree.

There are many important trades that provide a valuable need in society but the sense of achievement from building a successful career and finding purpose in ones life can’t be purchased nor supplied by another. >> Story Continued | pg. 5

Towns should explore hiring financial managers

I

t sounds like a caper.

Employees shuffling funds between accounts. Public funds being used as piggy banks. Sloppy payrolls, overextended accounts, vanished cash and misappropriated taxpayer money.

It’s not a movie script, but rather what goes on in the halls of your local government.

Sometimes.

Most towns in the North Country have been visited by auditors from the state comptroller’s office. For months, these agents pry up the stones and look for worms.

While some towns have proven to be in better financial shape than others, none of them are perfect.

We commend the state for keeping local governments on their toes and pushing them to implement better internal controls over their finances.

Despite the severity of some of these reports, most of these mistakes seem innocent enough: More often than not, the fiscal problems that arise in town halls across the state are due to negligence and, at worst, gross incompetence — not nefarious schemes.

But aside from the loss of taxpayer funds, the lingering clouds that follow audits are often worse: Vitriol. Whisper campaigns. Mistrust of town government.

It’s all poison in these small communities and it dissuades people from seeking office.

And it gets us to thinking that there must be a better way to do things.

While the buck stops with town supervisors, the elected officials who serve as chief financial officers, town clerks also play critical roles.

Let’s zoom out.

Clerks, who are elected by the public, are responsible for issuing licenses and permits. They post notices, file reports with county and state agencies and keep public records.

Those are their prescribed tasks.

In many cases, they have no formal training and have stepped up to the plate out of a sense of civic loyalty.

Some play double duty, acting as tax collectors.

We all wear many hats in the North Country and understand the need to multi-task.

But we also understand the flurry of paperwork that accompanies tax season, one that becomes a blizzard in this era of caps, rebate checks and increasingly confusing gimmicks from the state.

Paired with the already rickety situation in many of our local town offices, it’s no surprise that the nuts and bolts of everyday duties get lost in the mix — tasks like accounting for dump tickets and charging folks accurately for their water bills.

Despite the innocuousness of their errors, let’s be clear: This waste is unfair to taxpayers, even if the dollar amounts are relatively low.

Would you trust someone with no financial training to handle your investment portfolio?

Didn’t think so.

We shouldn’t expect anything less from our town officials.

Towns need to start thinking outside the box when it comes to financial planning.

We like the idea of a town manager.

Unlike tax collectors and clerks, who are elected, this would be an appoint-

ed position.

A quick pursual of town law seems to indicate that towns in New York have the ability to establish this office and anoint the officeholder with powers and responsibilities, including those transferred from other officials.

Let’s play with a hypothetical situation: Residents of Anywhere, Essex County opt to establish the position through a permissive referendum.

The board then hires a town manager, someone with a CFA, who then takes over budget-drafting and financial planning from the supervisor and some responsibilities from the clerk.

While both the clerk and supervisor will retain their duties, the majority of the wonky stuff can be left to the professional.

Meanwhile, the supervisor is freed up to tackle other issues, like county work, which they are obligated to do as members of the board of supervisors.

This system might help zap fiscal mismanagement as well as aid in longterm planning, including the navigation of sticky maelstroms like unfunded mandates and skyrocketing health insurance costs.

Removing town managers from elected politics may also ensure a sense of stability, particularly during administration changes, as well as insure them from nasty, small town skuttlebutt.

Another task for the town manager — Locating and applying for grants. The ability to do so is a skill that is becoming highly lucrative as local control is being sucked away in favor of depending on the state for what should be run-of-the-mill infrastructure improvements.

Grants are now critical spokes on the wheel of local governance, from repairing water filtration plants to providing services that, once sacrosanct, are now in jeopardy — youth programs, libraries, ambulance squads.

You name it, nothing is safe under the tax cap.

We admit that it seems impractical in this era of fiscal austerity for town boards to create a new position, especially one that comes with a salary and benefits.

But we can’t help but feel that a position will pay for itself over time in taxpayer money that wouldn’t be misspent.

We encourage town boards to at least discuss the idea.

On Common Ground fights suicide

No need proposed sales, property tax increases

To the Editor: On Common Ground is a bullying and suicide prevention program in Essex County. We have extensively researched and been trained in these two topics. We tour our original skit titled “A Change of Heart” throughout the area.

As much as we appreciated your recent article on suicide prevention awareness on Sept. 9, we have concerns regarding some of the language that was used. Specialists in the field of suicide prevention no longer use the phrase “committed suicide”, rather they use “ died by suicide” indicating how a person died, not that an offense of some kind was committed.

Suicide is not a “deed”, as it was referred to in the article. A deed is usually something that is written on a to-do list that is crossed off when completed.

“Boast” is defined as “to talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about ones’ achievements”. High suicide rates are not an achievement and citizens should not feel pride toward something so tragic.

Again, your efforts are appreciated, and it’s great that individuals are becoming more aware of suicide prevention efforts. You may contact us at Moriah Central School if you would like further information.

To the Editor: Our local elected officials are proposing to demand of the State that the 2 percent tax cap be lifted and simultaneously considering an increase in the local sales tax. Without these tax increases they say they have no choice but to cut jobs and eliminate services. I say do not believe it.

The 2 percent tax cap is about fiscal discipline. In order to meet it, it requires a change in how our elected officials operate. This is what they really find difficult. Without additional taxes, they have trouble funding their system and the political machine. Without additional taxes, they would need to keep an eagle’s eye on expenses.

One just needs to read through the Warrensburg town board meeting minutes and see request after request for non-essential items approved and ask if this represents fiscal discipline. Look at the Town of Warrensburg’s practice of awarding contracts to sole bidders resulting in the town paying over $100,000 for a roof and windows and ask if this is a right way of doing things.

FOIL a few invoices at the County level and ask if paying over $700 for office chairs and $1400 for desks represents fiscal discipline. Look at the commissions paid out for a recent purchase of some IT equipment. A purchase that paid out thousands over retail for equipment that is obsolete in 2016 and ask if this is the right way of doing things.

When these practices stop, when we see a true change in how our elected officials operate I believe the tax cap and current sales tax levels would not be nearly the burden that our elected officials claim they are.

Essex Bed Tax Expansion, is it legal?

To the Editor: Essex County has gone ahead and expanded their bed tax to include essentially any rented property. I am not an attorney but common sense says there may be a legal issue regarding the expansion.

I live in Franklin County and have a seasonal rental property there.

Franklin County has been pursuing a bed tax for the first time and therefore I have been following the issue closely and done a good deal of research.

Franklin County also had intended to go after all rentals in their recently passed bill, but I pointed out at a public hearing that they had wording in their bill that excludes most private property rentals.

From what I have learned, in order for a local government to enact local tax legislation like this they must first get permission from the state legislature That legislation specifies what can be taxed. The local government is limited to the state passed legislation. The local government may not expand the definition beyond what is allowed by the state.

In the case of Essex County that state legislation says: “For the purposes of this section, the term “hotel” or “motel” shall mean and include any facility providing lodging on an overnight basis and shall include those facilities designated and commonly known as “bed and breakfast” and “tourist” facilities.”

On the other hand the recently passed Essex County legislation says: “Any facility providing lodging on an overnight basis and shall include those facilities designated and commonly known as, bed and breakfast, inns, cabins, condominiums, cottages, campgrounds, lodges, tourist homes, convention centers, vacation rentals, motor courts, boarding houses, lake cottages, personal residences or similar type of accommodations by whatever name designated.”

Certainly sounds like an expansion beyond what the enabling legislation allows or intends. Also consider an e-mail that State Senator Betty Little sent me regarding the state passed legislation, in which she says, “Private homes that rent by the week would not be subject to this tax.”. Add in that even the state has been excluded by an Administrative Law Judge from collecting sales tax from private homes that even rent for less than a week.

If anyone affected by this tax expansion in Essex County decides to challenge its legality it will be up to the courts to determine if the county has gone too far. If I had a rental property in Essex County I would be gathering with friends and others who have properties affected by this law and consulting my attorney.

In my own case, higher education wasn’t my first thought when I was growing up. I really didn’t know what I wanted from life, but my father made it clear I was going to go to college; End of discussion.

My father would co-sign with me for a college tuition loan, but there was also no doubt, I would be the one who would pay back that loan, education earned or not. After two years it was clear, that college wasn’t for me. I wanted to join the workforce and was confident in my abilities to succeed. He was very upset, but a year later after I had risen in the ranks, he proudly gave me his approval.

I, like many others, believe we are living the American Dream. That’s a feeling no one can provide to another regardless how well meaning their intentions may be. It must be earned through hard work, personal sacrifice and drive to achieve whatever your version of the American Dream may be.

Our government leaders need to have faith in our people who have always risen to the challenge. Easy isn’t what built this country. America has been crafted one life at a time and one size does not fit all.

Americans struggle; Congress does fine To the Editor: At a time when many Americans are struggling with things like buying food and health care our members of Congress are doing just fine. In 2015 the House Speaker’s salary is $223,500 and House Majority and Minority leaders receive $193,400. Those who are only plain Congressmen and women receive only $174,000 for their hard work making things worse for the average American. These salaries are topped off with huge expense accounts and benefits taxpayers can only dream about. While those on Social Security will receive no increase in 2016 our Congress may get a $3,000 COLA if the coming budget is approved. There are even those in Congress who want to increase their base salaries because they say expenses have increased! According to published reports “The median net worth for a member of Congress in 2013 was over $1 million, and a majority of members are millionaires!” Many entered Congress having salaries of under $50,000 a year and by their second term they were millionaires. Am I the only American who feels something is amiss? Many have spent their careers over the past several years doing nothing but voting against health care and to shut down our government costing us taxpayers billions. Now they want to take away our Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security as they squander our tax dollars. Several of those running for President in 2016 have made this part of their “Dream for America” and like Pied Pipers they have a following.

One has to wonder if these followers need hearing aids!

P

erspective.” It’s among my favorite words.

Others are serendipity and love.

As I scrolled through messages on a social site, I came to one that read, “We all see things differently. Let’s celebrate each other’s unique perspective on the world.” It was credited to Salvador Dali. I’m quite certain he never uttered or wrote that little saying, but his work indicates that he felt that way.

He was my kind of guy— walking through life off the beaten path; outside the box. If you don’t know his work, learn about it; look at his paintings and enjoy his “unique perspective.” I love watches, but I don’t have any that are melted like his.

I spend a lot of time talking to both children and adults about my left-handed philosophy. I invite them to walk with me off the main roads, through the apple orchards, across the streams and into the future, paying careful attention to things that are extraordinary while marching to a different drummer.

The other night, as we were relaxing in our separate easy chairs, I looked over at Kaye and began to quote a cherished poem: “The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat..” I have no clue why that popped into my head or leaped onto my lips. She is used to that kind of thing from me and instantly responded: “They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note.”

We were stuck after that, so I let my fat fingers do the walking and found the original: “The Owl looked up to the stars above, and sang to a small guitar..” She smiled as I read all three verses aloud and we laughed together. We do that often. “I can see all his illustrations in my mind as you read it,” she said.

I wish I could have met Edward Lear to learn what inspired this poem and the others in his book “Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany and Alphabets.” He explained that he penned them for his best friend’s three-yearold daughter and her mother.

I love words and have written about Lear’s use of the “runcible spoon,” made up out of whole cloth, just for this poem.

Kaye and I are fortunate to have grown up at a time where we were exposed at an early age to such things as Edward Lear’s “nonsense.” Look around the room and see if everyone else with you knows about “The Owl and the Pussycat.” I’ll wager that most under the age of 30 have never heard of it. And, isn’t that sad?

It’s time we bring back all the old books and nursery rhymes from our youth so those that come after us can likewise be delighted as we all celebrate our unique perspectives.

Opening Day

A

s the first snow of season continues to dusts the High Peaks, Autumn has taken full command of the land. I always enjoy getting out at this time of year to take in the season’s cool, breezy winds, which come tainted with a heady mix of decaying leaves, and woodsmoke.

October has a unique scent, which beckons all sportsmen and women to step outside. While the Fall season initially provides a spectacular display of fiery technicolor foliage, it will soon morph into a mellow, yellow patchwork of birch,

poplar and evergreens and the looming conclusion of foliage season.

As the wind and rain begin to strip away the remaining foliage from the hillsides, the thick, dark forests will gradually open up to hunters. The process always results in a natural transformation of the hills and valleys, while a series of corresponding social adjustments will take place in the local towns and villages, where the question, “Didja’ get your’s yet?” will again be considered a proper greeting.

By mid-November, it will be difficult to find a local tradesman that’s available to fix a squeaky door, or repair a leaky faucet. As the �rut’ grows near sportsmen, and women will put all other matters aside, as they take to the woods in pursuit of whitetails. Although hunting has traditionally been considered primarily a male pursuit, female hunters have largely been responsible for filling the steadily diminishing ranks of the hunting fraternity in recent years.

Yes, it’s true. Lady’s do hunt. It’s no longer exclusively a �man’s game, as evidenced by the increasing number of newcomers to the hunt. Statistics show a 36 percent increase in women hunters since 2001, with over 70.6 million dollars spent on women’s hunting licenses since 2009.

Rookies welcome, Veterans willing to learn Although every human being is born with a natural compulsion to hunt, we have learned to temper these instinctive behaviors as civilization progressed.

Unfortunately, without the opportunity to hone these inherent hunting skills and abilities with regular practice and training; our skills have Cool evenings, and the warm morning air combine to create heavy fog in the valleys, which can limit a hunter’s largely atrophied.

he campers have rolled out, and the beach people are heading south to warmer sands. Fall is coming. For some it is a sad event. For others, well, we welcome fall; the change of colors, the cool stream waters with spawning trout, salmon, and steelhead following up.

Then of course, there’s fall hunting season.

Pheasant and grouse are favorites for bird hunters. High brass loads, the smell of gun powder and a bulge in the back of your hunting vest game bag are what we enjoy! Then there is the sound of the pump! Sweet soul

music!

Watching a hunting dog work and flushing a bird is the real thrill of bird hunting. Taking a bird is second. Seeing the smile on a dog’s face when he is out doing what nature meant, is what a day in the field is all about.

Taking your favorite hunting buddy along, flushing birds and enjoying the full moon rise over a grassy field after an afternoon’s hunt is something you remember all your life.

Choosing what to do that day is a challenge. There is fly fishing and bird hunting, while whitetail deer and bear also rival for our time.

The streams are starting to shutter from the backs and fins of fish heading from the lake to the streams, in search of spawning gravels.

skill; if you don’t use it, you loose it.

Whether we like it or not, humans are predators by design, with eyes that set on the front of our head, with ears on the side. Our teeth are intended to tear and chew meat, and our digestive system is capable of processing it.

While we continue to practice the skills of stalking and capturing prey, it typically occurs at a very young age. In fact, the vast majority of humans no longer have possess either the skills, or the knowledge to fully utilize our natural, predatory design.

Most of the childhood games we all played, including Clench a Wench, Red Rover, Hide and Seek, Tag, Blind Man’s Bluff and Capture the Flag have been around for centuries.

Initially, these games were intended to hone our natural predatory, stalking and hunting skills. If I paid more attention in Kindergarten, I’d probably be a much better hunter today. Many of those lessons focused on how to pay attention, and sit still, quietly, without looking all around or fidgeting in your seat. In hindsight, the lessons were all applicable to hunting.

On the Hunt Although hunters have been out in the woods for several weeks already, hunting with a variety of longbows, compound bows, crossbows and an assortment of muzzleloaders, breechloaders and freeloaders; I’ve had only a few reports of deer being taken. I expect the tables will turn, when the Regular Big Game season begins at sunrise Saturday, Oct. 24.

Let the Section VII postseason begin!

Soccer, football playoff pairings set, more league and sectional titles to come

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

With the changing of the leaves and shortening of the days, the Section VII championships are right around the corner.

The postseason began last week with the Section VII gymnastics championships, and were kicked into high gear this week with soccer and football playoffs under way.

Gymnastics The Peru Indians captured the Section VII team title with a total score of 156.825 Oct. 17, finishing just over four points ahead of second place Plattsburgh High School and almost 16 points ahead of Beekmantown.

The Indians were led by all-around champion Delany Brown, as the eighth grader capped off an impressive season with a high score of 9.075 for her floor exercise. She also scored an 8.725 on the beam, 8.5 on the vault and 7.875 on the bars. Her overall score of 34.175 was almost two points higher than PHS’s Morgan Hughes, who scored 32.3. Madison Baker finished third.

Brown, Hughes, Baker and Beekmantown’s Kailey Quackenbush qualified for the NYSPHSAA championship meet in all four events. Also earning spots on the Section VII state team were: Vault: Tony Russo, Paige Gricoski. Alternate Nick Nowosielski.

Bars: Kira Fisher, Allie Timmons. Alternate Mikayla Karkoski.

Beam: Kira Fisher, Paige Gricoski. Alternate Allie Timmons.

Floor: Alandra Gebo, Kira Fisher, Olivia Tarabula The state gymnastics championship meet will take place Saturday, Feb. 27, with site to be announced.

Boys soccer The fields have been set for the Section VII boys soccer championships, with Plattsburgh High, Lake Placid and Northern Adirondack earning the top seeds in classes B through D, respectively.

Class B Preliminary games in Class B boys will take place Wednesday, Oct. 21, with fourth seed Saranac hosting fifth seed Beekmantown at 6 p.m. and third Northeastern Clinton hosting sixth Saranac Lake, also at 6 p.m.

The semifinals will take place Saturday, Oct. 24, at George Brendler Field in Chazy as PHS will play the Saranac/Beekmantown winner at 5 p.m., followed by the NCCS/Saranac Lake winner playing Peru, who returns back to Class B play after two seasons as a Class A school, at 7 p.m.

The semifinal winners will face off Friday, Oct. 30, 7 p.m. at Brendler Field.

Class C With Northern Adirondack dropping to Class D, top seed Lake Placid will face second seed AuSable Valley for the title Wednesday, Oct. 28, 7 p.m. at Plattsburgh High School.

Class D Northern Adirondack is the lone team to receive a bye in their first appearance in the Class D playoffs, ousting perennial top seed Chazy, who dropped down a line to the second seed and will play seventh seed Willsboro Friday, Oct. 23, 3 p.m. at George Brendler Field.

Also on Oct. 23, the third seed Griffins of Elizabethtown-Lewis and Westport will face fifth seed Crown Point at Camp Dudley with a 3 p.m. kick off, while fourth seed Keene will play fifth seed Johnsburg/Schroon Lake, also at 3 p.m. at Keene Central School.

The Keene/Johnsburg winner will travel to Ellenburg to face Northern Adirondack in the Class D semifinals, scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27. The winners of the other two quarterfinal games will also square off that day, with the higher remaining seed hosting the contest and time to be announced.

The Class D championship game is scheduled to be played at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, at Plattsburgh High School.

Girls soccer Northeastern Clinton, Northern Adirondack and Keene hold the top positions starting the sectional playoffs for the ladies.

Class B

Quaran Carroll sets up for a pass against Ticonderoga last week.

NCCS and Beekmantown will both receive first round byes, with quarterfinal games scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 20, featuring third seed Saranac and sixth seed Saranac Lake (6 p.m., Saranac) along with fourth seed Peru and fifth seed Plattsburgh High (3 p.m., Peru).

The Peru/PHS winner will advance to the semifinals to play the top-seeded Cougars Friday, Oct. 23, 5 p.m. at George Brendler Field in Chazy, followed by the Saranac/Saranac Lake winner against the second-seeded Eagles at 7 p.m.

The Class B championship game will take place Friday, Oct. 30, 5 p.m. at Brendler Field.

Class C The Lady Bobcats will remain in Class C to defend their sectional title, and will await the winner of the Tuesday, Oct. 20 opening round game between the fourth seed Seton Catholic Knights and fifth seed Ticonderoga Sentinels (3 p.m., Seton Catholic).

The winner of that game will meet NAC Thursday, Oct. 22, 5 p.m. at Chazy, followed by a 7 p.m. game between second seed AuSable Valley and third seed Lake Placid.

The semifinal winners will meet at Plattsburgh High School Wednesday, Oct. 28, for a 5 p.m. kick off.

Class D Perhaps the most surprising part of the Class D girls’ playoffs is who will not be attending the ball.

Perennial Division III power Minerva/Newcomb opted not to bring its team to the sectional playoffs one year removed from a championship game appearance, while potential Cinderella Schroon Lake, the only team to earn a result against top seed Keene with a 0-0 draw in the final game of the regular season, decided not to try on the glass slippers.

As a result, Keene and second seed Chazy will have byes in the quarterfinal round while third seed Crown Point will host sixth seed Johnsburg Thursday, Oct. 22, at 3 p.m., while the fourth seed Lady Griffins of Westport/Elizabethtown-Lewis will host fifth seed Moriah at Camp Dudley, also at 3 p.m. Oct. 22.

The Crown Point/Johnsburg winner will face Chazy Monday, Oct. 26, 6 p.m. at George Brendler Field. Keene will host a 3 p.m. contest the same day against the winner of the Griffins/ Vikings quarterfinal contest.

The Class D title game will take place Saturday, Oct. 31, at Plattsburgh High School with an 11 a.m. kick.

steps of City Hall. Using special glasses that simulate various common eye diseases that cause blindness, Calnon and Kretser took a walk around the block to experience the challenges faced by people who are blind.

Calnon led the way with Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist Eileen Brennan, who guided him along the way on how to properly use his classic white mobility cane with a red tip — a cane that indicates the person using it is either blind or visually impaired.

The walk started off slowly as Calnon got used to his special glasses, which only gave him a pinpoint vision out of one eye.

The blind and visually impaired participants followed behind him who were all either with loved ones or bracing the walk around the block alone.

Kretser, whose goggles simulated retinal detachment, stayed behind the group with NCAVI’s Pat Wilson, who works with the blind and visually impaired in Essex and Franklin counties.

“I start teaching the blind and visually impaired in their home to make sure they feel safe in their homes and then we get them out in the community that way we can get them where they want to go,” she said. “We want to make sure they have the basic techniques for getting around with a cane.”

As the walk continued, more obstacles faced the mayor and councilman, including the turning on curbs, staying on the sidewalk between the grass and the road, distinguishing the direction of traffic by sounds and crossing crosswalks without a sound warning.

When the walk ended back at the City Hall steps, Calnon took a moment to collect his thoughts on the overall experience of the walk.

“We need to keep in mind that everyone’s needs need to be considered and we also need to make sure that drivers understand what their role is for people who are using the white canes,” he said. “It was a very interesting experience and there will be quite a bit of reflection on this.”

Throughout the year, the mayor has been looking at options to make the city more handicap accessible for people with disabilities such as visually impaired Tracie Huick.

Unlike Calnon and Kretser, Huick got around a lot easier with her white cane mobility stick, which she’s had for five to six years.

Huick, a resident of Saranac Lake, has been visually impaired for almost all her life — an unknown condition that’s only gotten worse with age.

However, she makes up for her loss of vision but her heightened senses and brain power as she memorizes locations and distinguishes different areas by sound and smell, such as grocery store Isles and stores in Champlain Centre.

“In a small community where I live, you don’t see — no pun intended — any people who are visually impaired,” she said. “So, I was really surprised of how many people came out for this event.”

Amy Kretser, executive director of NCAVI, decided to host this event to spread the need for general awareness

The ‘Burgh Sun • October 24, 2015 | 11

by the community to ensure both drivers and pedestrians are safe and teach people how to properly use the white canes.

“The white cane has become a symbol to the blind community that honors their achievements and recognizes the white cane’s significance in improving independence,” she said.

“This day is a celebration of their independence.”

Plattsburgh Int’l Airport tour reveals terminal upgrades $55 million project scheduled to be completed by October 2017

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Last week, The Sun got a sneak peek at the Plattsburgh International Airport expansion.

As passengers boarded their flights and workers continued construction, Airport Manager Chris Kreig led a tour downstairs, upstairs and outside the new terminal.

“The whole premise behind the expansion is to address some of the constraints we have currently and provide options for future growth,” Kreig said. “It’s been pretty hectic.”

Since October 2014, Phase II of the $55 million expansion of the terminal has been taking place — taking it from about 30,000 square feet to 115,000 square feet.

Kreig shared the new additions passengers can expect in the terminal upon completion, including increased ticketing space to seven counters, self-service kiosks, additional baggage claim space, an expanded concourse area, dedicated facilities for concessions and office space for airport operations and security, along with stairs, an elevator and escalators up to the second level.

The new terminal will have our gates with three jetways initially and room for a fourth.

The Transportation Security Administration security checkpoint will be relocated from its current location downstairs on the first level to the second level with two lanes at the start and space for a third as the need arises.

OTHER EXPANSION DECISIONS In 2013, Plattsburgh International Airport started Phase I of its $55 million expansion project, doubling the amount of parking available at the airport to approximately 3,300 spaces, which they completed at the end of 2014.

The last piece of the expansion project is the space for U.S. Customs and Border Protection clearance for international flights, which is now expected to be ready in July 2017.

Although the airport’s name is “Plattsburgh International Airport,” they do not currently have on-site customs to be an international airport. But after this expansion, they will be.

Specific destinations have not been revealed yet.

“By 2017, Plattsburgh International Airport will truly be an international airport,” said Garry Douglas, CEO and president of the North Country Chamber of Commerce. “We expect this to be one of the greatest growth opportunities when it’s completed.”

REASONING BEHIND EXPANSION

The airport decided to expand for two reasons: capacity issues and future growth.

When the airport first opened in 2007, it started off with 40,000 enplanements, but the number grew by year — reaching 150,000 last year, which drastically exceeded the space available.

This increasing number led the Clinton County Legislature to start talking about the expansion. The plan was approved in 2013 and work started in the fall of 2014.

One of the initial goals was to expand the terminal in a way that they could address not only the space issues, but to plan for airline, air service, growth.

They hope to complete Phase II of the expansion by October 2017.

“There’s not one area of the original terminal that hasn’t been touched in this construction,” Kreig said. “It’s been a major undertaking for the community and the county.”

Since October 2014, Phase II of the $55 million expansion of the terminal has been taking place — taking it from about 30,000 square feet to 115,000 square feet.

Local group collects over 17,000 used syringes through syringe exchange program Alliance for Positive Health offers services for Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Alliance for Positive Health’s Syringe Exchange Program reached new heights by collecting 17,000 used syringes, gaining 61 members, saving nine lives from overdose and getting three people into treatment.

“The heroin epidemic in the North Country is out of control right now and nobody wants to see a program be put in place that’s going to make things worse,” said Diana Aguglia, Plattsburgh regional director for the Alliance of Positive Health. “We feel like we’re part of the solution.”

This program started in June after the health department expressed interest to reduce cases of Hepatitis C and HIV and the numbers of used syringes and needles found in public areas and on the streets that, if reused, can lead to abscesses, infections and blown veins.

Participants who are under the influence for drugs are given an opioid overdose prevention kit.

The program provides new sterile syringes, other injection supplies and safe disposal of used syringes for addictive, diabetic or hormonal usages.

So far, all 61 participants registered are drug users.

Each participant is registered anonymously giving the Alliance for Positive Health only some demographic information, such as the first two letters of their first and last name, sex and date of birth, along with why they’re using the program to determine the appropriate size of syringe to give them.

After collecting that data, each participant receives an unique ID on a syringe exchange participant card to receive the many items the program has to offer — specifically altered to meet their needs.

Participants who are under the influence for drugs, for example, are given an opioid overdose prevention kit that includes naloxone, a heroin antidote administered through the nose that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, and other supplies and information on how to handle an overdose, which has saved nine participants so far.

If participants are interested, the Alliance for Positive Health does referrals for treatment.

“I think a lot of our participants want treatment, but they’re afraid,” Aguglia said. “It’s a very physically horrifying experience.”

Their card protects them from prosecution for having syringes in their possession even if there’s a little residue of drugs in the syringes — a part of the program touchy, as Aguglia said, to some people.

“People are going to use heroin or other opioids regardless of whether they have sterile syringes and people aren’t going to start heroin just because there are free needles; they’re already using them,” Aguglia said. “Our job is to keep them safe and healthy.”

Though the Alliance for Positive Health currently serves Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, they’re planning on expanding their services to a new site in Ticonderoga for January 2016 and invest in a van service for July 2016 to assist people who aren’t able to go to them.

“We want to expand so that we’re able to meet the needs of more people,” Aguglia said. “Currently, most of the people coming here are Clinton County residents and we would like to make sure we’re reaching the need of Franklin and Essex counties as well.”

For more information about the program or future expansions, visit allianceforpositivehealth.org. To find a nearby syringe exchange program, call 1-800-541-2437.

The Women’s Imaging Center, located at 89A Plaza Boulevard, recently installed Sele-

nia 3D mammography, offering patients with all breast types a superior, comfortable and more accurate test when compared to 2D mammography alone.

The new technology captures multiple images of the breast from different angles and specialized software reconstructs a 3D image of the breast.

As a result, fewer patients are called back

Besides continuing the projects he helped start, Sears also hopes to maintain the status quo of the town as it is today, including a fair tax rate and continuing to provide services.

“I like to be involved in town politics and it’s nice to have some say in what’s going to happen with our town,” he said. “I enjoy doing it and I would like to get another four years in.”

Randy Trombly, town councilman Republican Party Trombly was born and raised in Chazy and moved to Beekmantown 20 years ago. He received a bachelor’s degree in engineering and worked as an engineering manager for Keurig Green Mountain in Waterbury, Vermont.

Along with his engineering career, he’s also served on the boards of Beekmantown Youth Commission, Plattsburgh Youth Hockey and Plattsburgh Rotary Club, along with being the chairman for the United Way Campaign.

If elected, Trombly would like to help the town improve by bringing in natural gas and renewable energy, expanding the

for additional testing and able to avoid the associated anxiety, inconvenience and cost.

“The acquisition of thin slices at multiple levels enables the radiologist to quickly determine if an area of asymmetry is a real lesion or due to overlapping tissue elements, decreasing the number of false positives,” said Curt Snyder, medical director of the Women’s Imaging Center. “In addition, we

tax base and focusing on town spending so that town residents are getting a good value for their tax dollars.

“I’m running because I wanted to get involved to at least a local level to improve the situation for taxpayers,” he said.

“Also, I’ve always been interested in the community and politics.”

Brandon Drapeau, town councilman Democratic Party Drapeau is a graduate from Beekmantown High School and SUNY Canton where he received a degree in business. He worked at Georgia Pacific for 21 years and currently serves as a town assessor, JV football coach and treasurer for the Democratic committee.

Drapeau said he doesn’t see many issues in the town at the moment.

He would, however, apply for grants to save the taxpayers money and get younger people involved in the town government.

“As an assessor, I got more involved with town politics,” he said. “I just want to do my best for the community and do it right.”

can now more easily detect small cancers in dense breast tissue, increasing the cancer detection rate in women with dense breasts.”

The Women’s Imaging Center offers the highest quality mammography services in a convenient location. Certified mammographers, state-of-the-art technology and board certified radiologists serve as the foundation of this award winning program.

Sharron Garden, town councilwoman (incumbent) Democratic Party Garden could not be reached by this time.

Beekmantown Assessor Democrats David Fessette and Stephen Laflam will be running for Beekmantown Assessor.

Fessette was born and raised in the Town of Beekmantown.

He graduated from Beekmantown High School in 1972 and went to work for the Clinton County Highway Department until retirement in 2008.

Laflam has resided in Beekmantown for over 30 years and is a retired firefighter for the Beekmantown Volunteer Fire Department.

For the ballot, there will be a proposition that will be given to the voters to decide on whether they want to stay with three local assessors or switch to a single assessor. The town decided to put this on the ballot to save money for both the town and the taxpayers.

Here is Kit Kat, an adoptable dog from Elmore SPCA...

She’s a pointer mix, white and brown with brown ticking, who arrived Oct. 3 weighing 34 pounds upon arrival. She’s approximately 10-months-old.

Kit Kat is a delightful puppy that was saved from a high kill pound in Georgia. She is a happy, fun loving, energetic, loving

and smart dog that will do well in most homes. She loves to run, play and frolic with other dogs, people and anyone she meets. Kit Kat is very focused on her people and learns very quickly. She enjoys pleasing her people and is a very trainable pup. She is still very much a puppy and is full of energy.

She would enjoy a home where she will get plenty of mental and physical exercise. She loves kids and would love to have a family where she could play ball, hike and live an active life.

Come in and meet this wonderful puppy that would love to cuddle up on your feet and receive all the love you have to give her. She is now current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heart worm, lyme, anaplasmosis and ehrlichia. She is spayed and is ready to meet her new family.

Here is Honey Bunny, an adoptable kitten from Elmore SPCA...

She’s a domestic short hair, calico, who arrived Sept. 13. She is now eight to 9-weeks-old and weighs around two pounds.

Honey Bunny is a gorgeous and happy go lucky kitten that is looking for her forever home. She, along with her mom, Mia Wallace, and her siblings, was abandoned by their owners in a box on the side of the road in Plattsburgh. Mom and her nursing kittens were full of worms and fleas and presented with symptoms of an active upper respiratory infection and eye infection upon arrival. Now, Honey Bunny is around 8-weeks-old and is very healthy. She is now current on vaccinations, has tested negative for FeLV/FIV and has been cleared by our vet for placement. It is hard to imagine that someone threw out Honey Bunny, her mom and her siblings like they were garbage. They all deserve a loving and safe home where they can live in health and happiness. Come in and meet this gorgeous girl. UPDATE: Honey Bunny is now 8 to 9 weeks old and is ready to meet her new family. She is a happy and healthy kitten that is sure to bring you many years of delight.

put the now finalized code back on the drawing board and come up with other options, such as adding primary routes of snow removal, having the city of Plattsburgh Department of Public Works come up with a reasonable price and getting into the business of sidewalks or having prisoners shovel themselves.

Another option, which was proposed initially by the Snow Removal Advisory Committee and brought back up to attention the night of the vote, was for the city to assume all operations of snow removal.

CITY ASSUMING OPERATIONS In January, the City of Plattsburgh Common Council unanimously established the Snow Removal Advisory Committee charged with the task to research immediate and long range solutions for pedestrian access on city sidewalks.

“A great deal of time was set aside to evaluate the code and

make the system easier, more streamlined and direct,” City Councilor Rachelle Armstrong said in a previous interview.

“It was a process.”

The council presented their findings and recommendations to the common council on Aug. 27 broken up into two parts: revise the current city code by this coming snow season, which they achieved, and have the city assume the operations of the sidewalk snow removal by next year’s snow season.

The committee has talked to several towns, including Champlain and Rouses Point, who have been providing municipal sidewalk snow clearance for many years — Champlain for eight years and Rouses Point for 50.

Former Champlain Mayor Jeff Moore has been doing ex-

tensive research on what it would cost the city to do its own snow removal - an affordable task he plans to send the council in a letter with all the projected costs having to deal with staff, equipment and cost to property owners.

“I don’t want to go out there and do work on a city sidewalk because I don’t own the sidewalk,” he said. “There is a better way.”

City invites public to establish waterfront revitalization goals and priorities PLATTSBURGH — On Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 5:30 p.m., the City of Plattsburgh will host a community workshop at the Stafford Middle School to gather input regarding waterfront revitalization along Lake Champlain, related upland areas and the Saranac River within the City of Plattsburgh.

The workshop will begin with a brief presentation of background information about the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, identification of key groups involved in the planning process and information about key areas and topics along the waterfront.

Participants will be contributing to the Plattsburgh Community Vision and Implementation Strategy for Waterfront Revitalization. The meeting will provide an overview of the City’s waterfront area and subareas being addressed for this study — the North End, the Cumberland Ave-Wilcox Dock area, the Downtown-Dock Street area and the Old Base area.

Feedback will be collected from small breakout groups about perceived issues and oppor-

tunities in each area. Workshop participants will also be asked to provide input regarding concepts for local and regional projects that can help revitalize the waterfront and achieve the vision for the city.

In addition to this workshop, information and ideas can be submitted to Paul DeDominicas at dedominicasp@cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov by Nov. 15.

Based on public input, the potential waterfront uses and priority concepts will be revised and presented at a follow-up public workshop to be held on December 9th.

Workshop information and public documents may be accessed on the City website at http:// www.cityofplattsburgh.com/.

This project is supported by funding provided by the New York State Department of State under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund.
