Sara Rowden sworn into Clinton County Legislature Former Area 4 legislator back in seat on a temporary basis By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — Sara Rowden was sworn into the Clinton County Legislature on Tuesday, filling the seat left vacant by Colin Read’s resignation to run for mayor. The appointment was made during a special meeting that night with a 6-0 vote of approval. Rowden served as Area 4 legislator from 2001 to 2014. Read, a Democrat, submitted his letter of resignation due to moving out of Area 4 from Cumberland Head to the city of
Plattsburgh to run for mayor against incumbent Mayor James Calnon. “I couldn’t ask for a better replacement,” he said. Rowden offered to serve for six months until the special election in November. “I already know this stuff,” she said. “I’ll be able to contribute really quickly.” Rowden said she intends on chairing the County Operations Committee. Legislator Robert Timmons (Area 7) will take over the Buildings and Grounds Committee. Rowden currently serves as a member on several boards, including the Strand Center for the Arts and the Friends of the Saranac River Trail. She’s also a Boobie Sister and teaches snowboarding. >> See SARA ROWDEN | pg. 17

Hospital unit treating at risk kids closing
Woodturner
Crafting community carves out love for one of their own, plans May 21 benefit
Pete DeMola Writer
PLATTSBURGH — By this time of year, the man known as the Adirondack Woodturner would ordinarily be easing into his summer routine, a breakneck schedule of farmers markets, craft shows and other events where he would display his handcrafted wooden bowls. But a devastating fire destroyed Ken Gadway’s workshop in Morrisonville last
month. The flames took his entire stock, and with it, his livelihood. Organizers hope a weekend benefit will aid with the almost-unfathomable loss. Shane Dutil, a fellow woodworker, got to know Gadway on the farmers market circuit. They became fast friends over the years. Dutil described a man who is universally well-liked. Gadway was always the first to aid fellow vendors. Whether carrying their gear, offering positive words of support or offering shield from wind and rain, he was always there with a smile. The Adirondack Woodturner is a full-time craftsman, Dutil

said — not a hobbyist, but rather a consummate professional. And he is excellent at his profession. “He’s straight-up the best woodturner I’ve ever seen,” Dutil said. “His bowls are just phenomenal.” Long winter hours were spent creating his inventory, intricate items carved from burrows, or the lumpy growths found on trees. A benefit is scheduled for Saturday, May 21 at the Plattsburgh VFW on Spellman Road. Reaction was immediate following the April 5 blaze. “We’re like a little family,” Dutil said. “When something
PLATTSBURGH — CVPH’s Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit closed last week due to a lack of child psychiatrists. “It was a very difficult decision,” said Dr. Kent Hall who specializes in emergency medicine at the University of Vermont Health Network — Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital. The unit, which contains 12 beds, is designed to help children and adolescents, ages 6 to 18, victim to a crisis severe enough to impact their safety or the safety of others – treating a variety of psychiatric conditions including major depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia and more. Now, the unit is no longer able to provide those services since losing their only child psychiatrist in February. The unit contained four children during the time of the

Butcher shop raid reveals nearly two tons of illegal venison Alleged mastermind known as “The Deer Man” charged with numerous felonies By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
EDMESTON, OTSEGO COUNTY — In a scene that appears to confirm every backwoods stereotype imaginable, state officials busted a downstate operation for illegally selling two tons of venison at a local butcher shop. Following a two-year investigation, state Department of Conservation officials executed a search warrant at a butcher shop called Farmers Place, where they found more than 3,600 pounds of illegal venison meat and products. Owner Joseph Leonard was known around town as “The Deer Man.” Leonard, 73, was arrested and charged with a number of crimes after he allegedly sold illegal venison products to un-
dercover investigators. Leonard’s charges include felony illegal commercialization of wildlife, felony grand larceny, criminal solicitation fourth degree and felony illegal scheme to defraud, first degree. Manager Tamra Hoag, 57, was also arrested and charged with illegal commercialization of wildlife and illegal scheme to defraud, first degree. It is illegal to sell white-tailed deer meat and deer parts in New York State. Both Leonard and Hoag were arraigned in the Town of Edmeston criminal court last week and are due back in court on June 6. Farmers Place was a member of a group called the Venison Donation Coalition Inc., a sportsmans organization that “transforms a renewable natural resource into nutritious food for those less fortunate and in need.” The business also operated a food truck, according to their Facebook page.
Authorities are keeping mum on the details. “The investigation into Farmers Place is still underway and more details will be forthcoming,” a DEC spokesman told the Sun. Edmeston is located about 40 minutes south of Utica.

Colin Read announces run for city mayor By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — Colin Read wants the city’s top job. The Clinton County legislator, who announced his candidacy on Tuesday, said he will base his campaign on economic development and bringing more people into the government process. The candidate, a Democrat, indicated he would be fiscally conservative. “The solution is not more government spending,” Read said in a statement, “but flows from the unleashing of the passion
our private and non-profit sectors have for our shared home.” Read sits on the Clinton County Legislature representing Ward 4, a seat he’s held since 2013. Read chairs the County Operations and Building and Grounds committees. The candidate said he will move from Cumberland Head and into a downtown apartment and will step down as legislator. City Democrats endorsed Read on Tuesday. “Dr. Read is a highly qualified candidate whose energy and vision will be an asset to the city,” said Rachelle Armstrong, chair of the City Democratic Committee, in a statement. The local business advocate, author and newspaper columnist also serves as the president of the Plattsburgh Downtown
Association and owns the Champlain Wine Company along with his wife, Natalie. He assisted in the formation of 30City, a location that serves as an hub for entertainment, meetings and tourist information. Read also teaches evening classes in economics and finance at SUNY Plattsburgh. Calnon, an independent, was elected in 2013 and took office in January 2014 after serving as a city councilor for seven years. He announced plans for re-election last month. Calnon was out of the office on Thursday and could not be reached for comment.
Peru hires new code enforcement officer Former Wilmington and Black Brook codes officer to take on old projects, new busy summer season May 23 By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PERU — Town officials hired Robert Guynup as the new code enforcement officer last week. Effective May 23, Guynup, who’s currently the code compliance officer in Bozeman, Montana, will take over a number of open building permits waiting to be closed, upcoming construction projects and inspections. Guynup will also oversee the completion of two big building projects: Rulfs Orchard and Dunkin’ Donuts. Dunkin’ Donuts is planning a move from its current location in the Mobil gas station to its own standalone location next to the Langley Insurance Agency. Rulfs Orchard will be expanding its estimated 2,500 square-foot farm stand to almost 10,000 square-feet. Former Code Enforcement Officer Frank Slycord took on the beginning phases of those proj-
ects until he reassigned in early March after serving five years. Plattsburgh Code Enforcement Officer Steve Imhoff agreed to be an interim officer until someone full-time was hired. He started March 15 — focusing on primarily the Rulfs Orchard and Dunkin’ Donuts project’s permits and inspections, making sure they were completed before the new officer stepped in. Glushko said a majority of those tasks are completed, except for a few inspections for the Rulfs Orchard expansion. Imhoff, who also served in an interim role five years ago, hoped a new code enforcement officer would be hired within a month due to his already busy schedule in Plattsburgh. The process took a little longer than expected, said Peter Glushko, the town supervisor. After reviewing a pool of applicants, Glushko said Guynup was chosen due to his extensive experience in Wilmington and Black Brook. “We needed someone who could hit the ground running,” said Councilman Donald McBrayer, liaison to the zoning and code
enforcement office, during the meeting. “I think we found the person who can do just that.” To start, Guynup must pass the Clinton County Civil Service examination. Guynup will be on probationary status for one year and receive a starting salary of $40,869. Pictured above: Peru town officials hired Robert Guynup as the new code enforcement officer last week to take on old projects and new ones during the summer season.

I
think we can all agree that America is in a period of sharp and rapid change. The real question: is this change for the good or change for the sake of change? Most change is gradual, providing time for discussion, reflection and adjustment. Sadly in today’s fast-paced society, change and reaction may be coming faster than we can deal with and overloading an already overloaded system. Several stories in the news this past week reflect the nation’s growing frustration with unexpected changes. First, let’s take the folks at the TSA. Long wait times and poor performance testing in technology, procedures and human errors have pushed the flying public to the brink. TSA Administrator Peter Neffenger recently admitted there are 5,000 fewer security screeners on the job today compared to just a few years ago. Roughly 117 walk off the job each week and 35 percent within the first year, Neffenger told Congress last week. With nearly three million passengers passing through TSA lines each day, they simply do not have the manpower. Calls from both sides of the aisle calling for privatizing the TSA may force government to throw in the towel in yet another huge failing of a government program. Another unexpected change thrown at school districts around the nation came last week when President Obama told administrators, as a condition of receiving federal funds, transgender students must be allowed to access facilities consistent with their gender identity. While schools are permitted to provide single use facilities, they can not require transgender students to use them over male or female facilities, even if other students, parents or community members object. While no specific numbers define how many students currently consider themselves to be transgender, it appears school districts with larger transgender populations have already been dealing with these issues. Other school districts, with little or no transgender students have installed single use facilities as a compromise for those students conflicted with gender. Add these issues to the many issues already brewing in this year’s election cycle and there is no doubt we are in for a fierce battle between two candidates who have high unfavorables, forcing the electorate to choose between issues and personalities.

Lodge at Boreas Ponds should stay or be relocated to serve as a visitors center
D
ignitaries gathered last week in front of a pristine lake in North Hudson to announce what is anticipated to be the final in a series of large-scale acquisitions by the state, the 20,758-acre Boreas Ponds
Tract. Frequently referred to as the “crown jewel” of the former Finch Pruyn land holdings, the Manhattan-sized tract in the High Peaks region contains an astonishing spread of ecological diversity, from alpine-type summits to lowland forest, all teeming with life. Now that the ink is dry, the land classification process begins. For the first time, North Hudson will gain an access point to the High Peaks Wilderness. The discussion is sure to ignite what’s expected to be the latest in a long, grinding clash between advocates of access, who would like to see the lands remain opened up to motorized vehicles, and preservationists, who prefer to see as little human impact as possible. Both sides have compelling arguments. But no matter which side of the ideological spectrum you fancy, we strongly believe that the more user groups that have the opportunity to enjoy the land, the more positively it will impact not only the region, but the entire state. That’s why it’s a shame that the sprawling lodge once used by timber executives will be torn down this spring. Doing so, we think, is counterproductive. Located seven miles from the hardtop, the lodge could serve a myriad of purposes. As the population ages, the building could be used as a respite for sportsmen who are no longer able to climb mountain trails, wade through rivers and access back country ponds. After all, the state has slammed the door on hundreds of hunting clubs that allowed motorized back country access to a generation who would not have been able to take advantage of it otherwise. And we are all going to get old someday. It could also serve as a home base for those who have never had a chance to experience that firsthand. Other potential uses abound, from a possible education center to a sportsmen’s museum. Last week, the Nature Conservancy announced they’d sweeten the transaction deal with $750,000 in grant money to promote economic development projects. The organization should be commended for their largess, which is just the latest in a long string of generous financial contributions to the communities surrounding the vast tract of land holdings. But we can’t help but think that those funds could be better used as seed money for a possible visitor center that will help disabled people who also want to take advantage of the serene natural setting. After all, the gorgeous facility is already handicap accessible. This is in line with a number of stakeholders who have said they want to make the Adirondack Park more diverse and accessible to as many user groups as possible. We concede little will save the lodge from the wrecking ball. We’ve been told local officials are hashing out a possible plan for the former Frontier Town site with state brass.
So here’s an idea: Disassemble the building piece-by-piece and reconstruct it elsewhere, say, off Exit 29 of the Adirondack Northway, where it can serve as a link to the past and greet those who visit in the future. Brand it as a testament to compromise. In a state so divisive, that’s something everyone should enjoy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
AÊ safetyÊ tipÊ forÊ roadÊ crews
ResponseÊ toÊ MedicaidÊ taxiÊ editorial
To the Editor: While on my morning commute across Route 74 this week, I have noticed several times an unsafe practice by road crews. While putting signs out warning oncoming traffic of road work ahead, the crews park their vehicle in their lane of traffic while they all get out to set up a sign. While I totally understand the need for warning signs and value their importance in the safety of drivers and workers alike, the practice of leaving their vehicle in the roadway while they set the signs up seems unsafe. Flashing lights on or not, it could become a deadly situation very quickly. The situation could have been much safer if they had just pulled ahead another 50 feet and pulled off into a driveway to get their signs ready. Today, there was a loaded pulp truck ahead of me, and one unloaded oncoming at the point that they were parked in the road with several vehicles following closely behind. With so many distracted drivers in today’s society, I think taking all precautions available seems not like a smart idea, but one that must be done every time. To all road crews and construction workers: Please help all people on the roads become safer by pulling off to the side of the road during these times. It may save my life or yours. John Swinton Schroon Lake
To the Editor: So, what is the source of the Medicaid taxi problem that Essex County is forced to deal with. Barron’s financial publication compares the increase in Medicaid services to a three-card Monte game at the state and federal level with the taxpayers as the suckers. Here’s how it works. Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his NYS Dept. of Health create an enhanced transportation structure for Medicaid folks by using taxi’s. The taxi structure then pays the State taxes and fees. The state then uses the money from the taxes and fees to create additional Medicaid services. The new taxi providers are happy to pay the taxes and fees because they are guaranteed payment from the state. The Fed then happily reimburses all of it since they also want more services for Medicaid and Medicare to accommodate the Obamacare wealth redistribution objectives. Nifty huh! Obamacare was packaged and gifted to you though lies and deceit, not unlike the Iranian nuke deal. Both have cost an enormous amount of nonbudgeted tax dollars which has helped Obama double your national debt. Over the next couple of years, health costs will be transferred more directly to you and you will be paying, as they say in the old country, up the yin yang. Unless you are among those who get it for free, such as illegal aliens. The insurance companies are dropping out of health care so eventually a massive central government will control it all, probably as efficiently as they control the Veterans Administration. When Obama told you he was going to change America he wasn’t kidding. Cuomo uses the same playbook. Their progressive social justice agenda is expensive, but they don’t concern themselves with how to pay for it. Clinton and Sanders are promising more social justice. Free college, plus transfer $1 trillion of existing student debt to you. I trust you no longer believe that fairy tale about Wall St. paying for everything. It’s a pretty old story with little result. Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown
NursingÊ programÊ anÊ assetÊ Ê To the Editor: I am pleased with your piece about the nursing program at SUNY Adirondack in the May 7 edition of the Sun. I attended the nursing program at Plattsburgh way back in 1962. After three semesters, I left and was accepted into the nursing program at ACC. I remember even then that the instructors advised us to continue with our education and obtain a BSN. I graduated in 1966 while working part time for Dr. Richard Hogan and then worked at Glens Falls Hospital as an RN for a time until moving to North Carolina. When our family returned to the North Country, I started working as a Community Mental Health Nurse, a job that I thoroughly enjoyed. I am now retired. I occasionally see nursing students studying at Panara Bread and stop to chat, telling my tale and trying to encourage them. I met my husband at ACC, one of our sons graduated from ACC and now a grandson has signed up for the Cisco program. Having a community college in our area is an asset and one that I hope will continue successfully long into the future. It’s interesting to me that now SUNY Plattsburgh offers classes for a BSN. I have two granddaughters who want to pursue careers in the health care field and are thinking of colleges out of the area. I sincerely hope they will consider SUNY Adirondack first.

CCC breaks ground on new tech building $12.7 million Institute of Advanced Manufacturing construction underway By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — Clinton Community College held a groundbreaking ceremony last week for its Institute of Advanced Manufacturing (IAM). The $12.7 million construction project is designed to support advanced manufacturing in the region. In September 2014, CCC received funds through the SUNY 2020 Challenge Grant Program to build a two-story, state-of-the-art facility, providing educational programs and training in the fields of transportation, aerospace and manufacturing. “More than a school building, it will be a platform for sustaining and growing 21st century manufacturing employment in the companies and investment to the area,” said Garry Douglas, president of the North Country Chamber of Commerce, in a statement. With the help of AES Northeast, CCC finalized its design for the new building. The exterior is designed to take a more modern approach while incorporating some of the college’s traditional features. Along with classrooms containing traditional desks and chairs, the institute will contain state-of-the-art manufacturing machinery and equipment to provide proper training for students. With this comes more programming options. The college is looking into adding certificates and credentials that can take as little as four hours to complete up to a year based on the training needs of local manufacturing businesses. “Not every job needs a two-year degree,” said Kristopher Renadette, assistant professor of mechanical technology. “Part of the programming is working with the industries to find out what type of training they currently need or might need in the future.” Interested students interested in moving forward with their education can take their certificates and credentials and turn them into an associates degree within the college’s seven technology AAS programs. For future semesters, the college plans on partnering with Clarkson University to establish a 2+2 pre-engineering program for students interested in starting their studies at CCC and transferring for a higher degree. “As a research university, Clarkson looks forward to complementing the programs of the advanced manufacturing facility by sharing our expertise in manufacturing research, advanced materials and supply chain management,” said Clarkson President Troy Collins in a statement. Other educational partners include CV-TEC and SUNY Plattsburgh. CCC is anticipating the building to be completed by the start of classes in the fall of 2017. “The process is so exciting,” said Steven Frederick, vice president of institutional advancement. “Projecting forward what role this college can play is huge.”

COMMENTARY
Little Bits A drink called “switchel” Gordie Little
Columnist
M
y father was a poor preacher who was often compensated in fresh vegetables by his rural congregation. We ate well, but had little cash on hand. If my brother and I wanted a baseball glove or balsa wood airplane, we had to earn it somehow. I seem to recall fifty cents an hour as the going wage until I was a teenager and could do the work of a man in the fields. I mowed lawns for a skinflint. He has long been deceased, so there is no threat of retaliation. He owned a gas-powered mower, but it languished in his barn while I was forced to struggle with an old-fashioned reel-type push mower. I was never given a drink to quench my thirst and always guzzled down lots of water before he picked me up for the day’s work. Besides lawn mowing, I was tasked with cleaning rat droppings from his granary. I was also given gunny sacks and sent into his pastures to pull up bags and bags of invasive weeds. Those were lessons learned the hard way. As the years went on, I began seasonal work on another farm where I was proud to become as physically strong as the adult farm hands. I was paid to work beside them in the hay fields and stooking grain as well as carrying heavy bags of oats to the granary. It was thirsty business and the womenfolk made sure all the hired help had plenty of satiating liquids. For years as an older adult, I struggled to remember what they called an odd, but satisfying liquid that was brought to us in the fields. Then, it came to me. Switchel. That’s what it was. Have you ever heard of it? It was also referred to as haymaker’s punch or ginger-water. I scoured the Internet and discovered the recipe ingredients: Vinegar and water, ginger, along with maple syrup, molasses, honey or brown sugar. Sometimes, lemon was added to the mix. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. It worked for us on hot days under the blazing sun and in the stifling hay mows. I didn’t know it before researching for this column, but have learned that this wonderful beverage is now being bottled and sold nationwide. Laura Ingalls Wilder, wellknown to us in the North Country for “Little House on the Prairie” and for the homestead near Malone, wrote about a similar drink made for the farm workers while haying. I found various beverages marketed as switchel in New York State, Vermont and other states. There are also alcoholic versions with ale and stout that I have never tried but would consider it in the future. If the word switchel is foreign to you, ask an old farmer. And while you’re at it, have him tell you more stories of days gone by. Columnist Gordie Little may be reached at gordie@suncommunitynews.com.

Franklin County Sheriff enters assembly race By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
MALONE — Franklin County Sheriff Kevin Mulverhill announced Monday he will run for state assembly. “I am seeking the 115th New York State Assembly seat currently held by Assemblywoman Janet Duprey,” Mulverhill said Monday in a news release. Incumbent Assemblywoman Janet Duprey (R-Peru) announced her retirement last week after six terms in office, citing health issues and a desire to spend more time with her family. “A major reason for seeking the Assembly position is to continue with a career in public service to improve the lives of people living and working in our communities,” Mulverhill said. Mulverhill cited job creation, the development of a “welfare to work” program, infrastructure development and tourism promotion as chief priorities. “Our parents and grandparents worked with their hands,” Mulverhill said. “We have a workforce here that is willing to work if we create the jobs and provide the resources needed to put people to work.” Mulverhill said he will work to gain the support of local GOP committees. “As a fellow Republican, I praise Jan Duprey for her many years of service and outstanding contributions to the North Country,” Mulverhill said. “I intend to continue right where Jan will leave off. She is a fine example of how a great representative can improve our area.” Mulverhill, who served as sergeant with the state police for 23 years, was elected Franklin County Sheriff in 2010. Mulverhill also served as a correction officer for four years. His entry to the race marks a law enforcement showdown. Franklin County Board of Legislators Chairman Billy Jones, a Democrat, announced his candidacy in March. Jones also made a career in law enforcement and continues to work as a correction officer. Following the announcement, Jones promptly released a statement: “Voters in the North Country will have a choice when they elect a new Assembly representative. If we are to restore the public’s faith in our elected officials, residents deserve a candidate they can trust,” Jones said. “If we are to continue our region’s proud and resilient history, I will be the strong voice we need in the Assembly majority to lead the economic transformation of the North Country.” Jones was unanimously endorsed by the Franklin County

Democratic Party on Sunday. “Billy Jones is a proven leader with a track record of public service. He is the hardest working county legislator I know,” said Franklin County Democratic Chair Kathy Fleury. “Jones’ experience as chairman of the Franklin County Legislature has given him an opportunity to fight for North Country needs with officials in Albany. That puts him a big step ahead of anyone without that experience.” Democrats hold a majority in the state assembly. Jones said he believes that being a member of the majority party will be beneficial in passing legislation. “Of course, both Jan and I have disagreed with Albany in the past,” Jones said. “I don’t expect that to change if I am elected.” Mulverhill said he is seeking the support of the three GOP committees and will be circulating petitions to appear on the November ballot. “Over the next several months, I’ll be attending as many events as possible throughout the more than 3,000 square mile district.” “This is a great day for Franklin County,” said Franklin County Republican Chairman Raymond Scollin in a statement. Scollin called Mulverhill an “extraordinary” sheriff who has “demonstrated, by consistently advocating for all Franklin County residents, that he understands the importance of representation.” Without mentioning Jones by name, Scollin called Mulverhill the “best candidate running.” “We have all seen the many challenges facing our county and region,” Scollin wrote. “Franklin County continues to be fiscally stressed, and we cannot afford the tired and ineffective policies that brought us to that point, and have kept us there.” Scollin said residents deserve representation that “breaks from the majority, and fights for ethics reform, economic growth and realistic support for our local farms and small businesses. Our dysfunctional New York Assembly is exacerbated by adding to their already bloated majority.” Mulverhill acknowledged the Plattsburgh area as the district’s economic core. If elected, he said he would maintain an office in the city. But he also stressed his connections to the rest of the district. “As fate would have it I am probably one of the few individuals who have lived and gone to school in each one of the counties in the 115th District,” Mulverhill said, “and because I live in Malone, I will always meet people and groups in Franklin and St. Lawrence Counties closer to home.” NYS Assembly District 115 covers all of Clinton and Franklin counties and a portion of St. Lawrence County.

Peru officials shorten Town Park Road Shortening allows reinstated CHIPS monies along with gate to combat vandalism By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PERU — The town board has approved shortening Town Park Road. Doing so will allow the reinstatement of state CHIPS monies. No, the road will not be physically shortened, but the measure is rather a bureaucratic sleight of hand by town officials who removed and later reinstalled a gate that granted access to Sullivan Park. They also reclassified a 324-feet section of road as an entryway into the park. The gate led to a reduction in funds due to a state law that prohibits gating town roads. CHIPS (Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program) allocates monies to municipalities for repaving town roads. Farrell said Peru received an estimated total of $170,000 annually from the state.

Here is Milo, an adoptable cat from Elmore SPCA... He is a domestic short hair orange tiger kitty, who arrived April, 19. He’s a declawed 5-year-old cat, who weighs 15 pounds. Milo is a gorgeous boy who, like so many other cats in Clinton County, started out life as a stray. This social boy was taken in by a concerned citizen who vetted him and had him de-clawed on his front feet. Although he wanted to interact with the resident house cat she just didn’t want anything to do with him. She would attack him at every turn and he started to defend himself. Milo is a nice cat and enjoys interacting with humans, but he will not take any guff either.
CURBING VANDALISM Town officials decided to restore the gate earlier this spring after several acts of vandalism in Sullivan Park. Unknown suspects drove through Sullivan Park and on walking trails — leaving tire tracks. The baseball field dugout was attacked by paintballers. Supervisor Peter Glushko said for some time paintballing became a popular sport not just in Sullivan Park, but throughout the town as businesses and street signs fell victim to their guns. In early March, town officials began discussing how to combat the uprising vandalism acts. The town requested anyone who might see people shooting paintballs out of their vehicles to record down the license plate number and hand it over to the authorities. Installing new cameras in the parks and on the trails was another option. Chains and locks, Glushko said, have been installed in partying areas, including near the lagoons on Brant Hallow Road. So far, Glushko said, no other vandalism acts have been reported. Also, there have been no reports of partying. The gate now locks out trespassers between sunset to sunrise when the park, along with other town parks and trails, is closed. Here is Marcus, an adoptable dog from Elmore SPCA... He is a black labrador mix, who arrived April 30. He’s 1.5 years old and weighs 50 pounds. Marcus is a sweet boy who is looking for his forever home after his people fell on some hard times. His people are no longer able to provide a safe home for him, so they tearfully surrendered him to Elmore SPCA to receive vetting and to find a loving home. Marcus is a well behaved and happy go lucky dog who likes to play with everyone he meets. He loves to play fetch and enjoys playing with children of all ages. Marcus likes to chase the outdoor cats he has met but is very mellow with the indoor cats he has met. Marcus is now current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heartworm, lyme, anaplasmosis and ehrlichia, has been deemed in good general health and will be neutered soon. Come in and meet this wonderful dog who loves to go for walks and to please his people. Marcus will do well in most homes, but would love to have lots of interaction with his people.***UPDATE*** Marcus is now neutered and is ready to go home =)

CVPH
From page 1 closing. Three were discharged. Hall said they’re still seeking a proper facility for its 16-year-old, long-term patient who suffers both mentally and behaviorally. A number of staff will stay to oversee and take care of the patient until being moved. As for incoming patients, CVPH reserved space within its emergency department to treat patients in need of psychiatric care but only until an appropriate facility is found for them or until a new child psychiatrist is found. CVPH has been trying to recruit a child psychiatrist since late October to join the unit’s team of nurses, mental health technicians, unit clerks, teachers, social workers and one adult psychiatrist. The search, so far, has been difficult. Hall said they’re not alone. A number of other cities, such as Ogdensburg and Oswego, have searched for child psychiatrists. Hall said there’s a national shortage of child psychiatrists — less than 10,000 practice nationally. While Hall said he’s unsure of the exact reason as to why, he believes pay is a factor. Child psychiatry is one of the lowest paid specialties. According to the 2013-2014 Physician Salary Survey, the median starting range for a child psychiatrist is $159,000, while starting salary of an orthopedic surgeon is $469,000. Education and the debt that comes along with it is another factor.
www.suncommunitynews.com
After four years of college, students interested in psychiatry education will have to go through four years of medical school, four years in psychiatric residency and two years to subspecialize in child psychiatry. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, 84 percent of the 2014’s graduating psychiatry medical school class accumulated a median debt of between $170,000 and $200,000. Each year, that number increases. Hall said despite the factors challenging the increase of child psychiatrists in the future, there’s been one promising applicant. Nothing is finalized yet, but if they decided to take the job, it will take approximately three months to receive proper licensing and become credentialed in the hospital. “It’s a tough recruitment,” he said. “But we’re cautiously optimistic.” Another challenge currently facing CVPH is finding appropriate facilities for its patients — an ongoing struggle throughout the North Country. Assemblywoman Janet Duprey hosted a forum last month to address current issues facing the developmentally disabled community. The forum, sponsored by state assembly Republicans, focused on the impact of the Olmstead decision on individuals and their families, as well as the deterioration of services due to a lack of state funding. At the forum, the Advocacy and Resource Center in Plattsburgh stated they can no longer provide individuals 24-hour care. Mountain Lake Services in Port Henry stated they’re facing a $1.7 million cut.

Adirondack ARC in Tupper Lake expressed concern about the rise in hourly wages and losing staffing. Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently signed the minimum wage policy into law.

Seeing green on the Saranac River Trail Greenway

Friends of the Saranac River Trail present feasibility study for 27-mile economic booster By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — In the future, locals may start seeing green with the incorporation of the Saranac River Trail Greenway. The Saranac River Trail Greenway is a 27-mile long trail going from Peace Point Park on the shores of Lake Champlain to Pup Hill Road in the town of Saranac. Last week, the Friends of the Saranac River Trail presented their findings from the feasibility study conducted by Alta Planning in Glens Falls. One discovery could mean a huge economic boost for the area. The trail could possibly generate $1.4 million in tourism spending per year, said representatives. Over 43,000 people live within a 15-minute bike ride of the trail. From the analysis, it’s anticipated that the completion of the trail could result in over 1 million more bike trips per year and over 200,000 walk trips. Due to the potential increase in walking and biking trips, the trail could save over $60,000 in healthcare and $1.3 mil-
lion in transportation. Based upon increases in property values seen in other communities where greenways have been implemented, the total estimated increase in property values could top $16.3 million. “This project will last us for decades,” said Jesse Feiler, president of the committee. “Trails are a wonderful asset to the community.” In order to make this possible, the Friends of the Saranac River Trail will need the support of a number of municipalities, schools and private landowners to allow the trail to extend through their properties. In one stretch alone, 4,400 property owners will need to be contacted to implement the trail on their land. Alternative routes have been considered for landowners, and other organizations, not willing to participate. Also, wetlands, steep hills, aging infrastructure and other factors will also play into the location of the trail.
TRAIL DETAILS The study broke down the trail into six phases from east to west beginning at the west end of the existing Saranac River Trail and ending in Redford. The trail will connect Plattsburgh to downtown Morrisonville by extending west under the I-87 northway to the former Clinton County Airport. From there, locals will travel along Main Street in Morrisonville and connect to Kent Falls Road. Going along the NYSEG property, the trail will lead to the Cadyville Dam. Pedestrians will have the opportunity to go to Cadyville Park and the Cadyville Town Beach. From there, the trail will enter in a less populated area and cross the Adirondack Park boundary line into Saranac and all the way to Redford. “Our trail will be going through that gateway,” said Philip Von Bargen, member of the committee. “It’s amazing.” One goal while outlining the path in phases was maintaining a close connection to the Saranac River. There will be on and off road segments. The off-road portion will be a shared path of 10 feet long, either created with asphalt, stone dust or a natural surface of mulch, dirt or grass. The on-road portion will include sidewalks, bike lanes, wide shoulders and more. The trail design will be dependent on the area. Existing trails — walking, hiking, snowmobiling and ATV — could act as an option for trail alignments.
Destinations along the river, including both man-made and natural, can serve as trip beginning and end points, including restaurants, schools, campgrounds and more. “It allows us to market the area,” said Joanne Dahlen, member of the committee. “We’re coming up with as many connections as possible.” INVESTING MONEY Alta Planning conducted the study funded through the Environmental Protection Fund Local Waterfront Revitalization Program grant through the Department of State for $50,000 Committee member Bob Fuller said it’s too early to tell the estimated cost of the entire trail. However, a mile of trail, he said, is estimated to cost between $500,000 and $1.5 million. He believes the SRTG will cost more on the lower end. Feiler hopes future maintenance will remain dependent on the area in which its being installed, such as how the original Saranac River Trail is maintained by the city of Plattsburgh and SUNY Plattsburgh. ‘TIME WILL TELL’ Members of the committee said there’s no completion date for the entire project. “In my lifetime,” Von Bargen said, “I would love to see a marathon on this trail.” However, Fuller said he’s hopeful each portion will be completed in a matter of two years: one year for design and another year for construction. Fuller said the committee is shooting to begin the design phase for the first section of the trail this summer. The cost is $50,000. Melanie Defayette, youth services and recreation director for the town of Plattsburgh’s Parks & Recreation Department, said she receives calls once a week in regards to the Saranac River Trail Greenway. Her response is always the same: “Stay tuned, it’s coming,” she said. “But it’s going to take time.” For more information, contact the Clinton County Planning Office at 518-565-4711 or the Department of State at 518-473-2460.

KICKSTARTING CAMPAIGN Read said he intends on campaigning heavily this summer. The former legislator recently announced he was stepping down as president for the Plattsburgh Downtown Association. Read said he plans on serving until a new leader is appointed in July. The owner of the Champlain Wine Company also hired full-time staff in order to free up his time. Read, who announced his candidacy earlier this month, said he will focus his campaign on economic development and downtown revitalization. “The solution is not more government spending,” he said, “but flows from the unleashing of the passion our private and non-profit sectors have for our shared home.”

Unified basketball comes to Section VII Ti Program provides opportunity for students to get into the game By Keith Lobdell
keith@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA — You can still hear the thud of the basketball on the court at Ticonderoga High School. A group of 15 youth — boys and girls — have come together to form the first-ever unified basketball program in Section VII, and the school hopes it will be something that catches on. “The unified program is a mixture of special education and regular education students who don’t often get the chance to play sports or to be on a team,” coach Alexandra Smith said. “We hope this season will start to generate interest in more Section VII schools.” “I was very excited to hear we were starting a unified team,” said coach Kendra McCoy, who had previously coaches a unified squad in the Rochester area before coming to Ticonderoga as a physical education teacher. The Ticonderoga Unified Basketball team took to the court this season, becoming the first school in Section VII to have a unified program. School officials hope the program catches on elsewhere as they now have to travel to Glens Falls for games.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Nine boys and 13 girls have been named to the New York State Sportswriter’s Association All State Basketball teams for the 2015-16 seasons. The teams are highlighted by a pair of state finalists in the Moriah Vikings boys team, along with duo’s from Warrensburg and Lake George on the lady’s side.
Girls
The top players from the biggest rivalry of the CVAC season made it onto the Class B All-State teams, as junior center Kayla Carder of Northeastern Clinton and junior guard Kenna Guynup of Beekmantown were named to the sixth and eighth teams, respectively. Carder, a first team CVAC All-Star, reached the 1,000-point mark in the Class B playoffs, helping to lead the Lady Cougars to the Section VII championship after splitting the two regular season games between the Cougars and Eagles. Guynup, who also was a first team CVAC All-Star, helped to lead the Eagles to the Section VII champoinship game. In Class C, Warrensburg’s senior guard Erin Langworthy, a multi-MVP in the Adirondack League, was named to the first team in Class C. It was the third year Langworthy has been named to the first team, having earned the honors in Class D for the 2014-15 and 2013-14 seasons. In 2012-13, Langworthy was a member of the Class D seventh team. Northern Adirondack guard Taylor Durnin passed the 1,000-point plateau and took her team to the Class C state semifinals for the second year in a row (the Bobcats lost in the state title game last season), earning third team honors for 2015-16. Durnin was named to the Class C fifth team a year ago. MacKenzie and Graceann Bennett were named to the sev-
enth and ninth teams for the Lake George Lady Warriors in Class C. McKenzie scored 376 points in her senior season, finishing with a career total of 1,069 points. She also averaged seven rebounds and three steals per game. Graceann, meanwhile, came onto the scene in her freshman campaign, scoring 395 points while averaging 11 rebounds per game. Through her first two seasons as a varsity player, Graceann has 580 points to her name. Class C honorable mention players included Madison McCabe, the AuSable Valley swing guard who scored 401 points in her junior season, leaving her 121 points shy of the 1,000-career point plateau. Senior Forward Hailey Moore of Seton Catholic was also named to an to the Class C honorable mention as the perfect rebounding complement to a strong interior game for the Knights. Warrensburg junior Britany Frasier also was named to the Class C honorable mention list. In Class D, Keene junior point guard Hanna Whitney was named to the second team after helping lead her team to the Section VII finals. Whitney scored 414 points this season, hitting 33 from long range. Whitney heads into her senior season with 1,169 points and 95 three pointers made. Madasyn Bush, a junior at North Warren, was named to the Class D sixth team, leading the Cougars to a 13-8 regular season record and a third place finish in the Adirondack League. Minerva/Newcomb junior guard Jordan Bush was named to the Class D seventh team, leading the Mountaineers in a very competitive Division II of the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference and earning MVP honors for the division. Keene junior forward Elaina Smith made the seventh team in Class D, as the inside scoring threat for the Beavers also surpassed the 1,000-point career mark with 371 points on the season, heading into her senior year 98 points shy of her teammate (1.018).
Boys
It was an all Section VII list on the All State boys basketball teams, with Northeastern Clinton senior Melik McLeod earning 10th team honors in Class B. McLeod led the Cougars into the Class B state tournament, averaging 19.8 points for the season. In Class C, 1,000-point scorer Josh Juntunen was named to the seventh team. The junior guard averaged 21.3 points over the season, helping lead the Bobcats to the Class C championship game. The Class C championship went to the AuSable Valley Patriots, who were led by junior forward Kobe Parrow, who average 16.7 points-per-game but saved his biggest moments for the playoffs, helping lead the Patriots to the Class C final four, falling to the “Class C” champion Middle College. Northern Adirondack bigman Stephen Peryea was named to the honorable mention list in Class C, having several games where he would dominate in the scoring and rebounding columns. In Class D, the decision of NY Mills guard Terry Nichols as Player of the Year may have many in Section VII scratching their head as Moriah senior center Adam Jaquish, who soundly defeated Mills, was placed behind him as a member of the first team. Jaquish finished his career with the rare double-quadruple, scoring over 1,000 points while grabbing over 1,000 rebounds. His 1,609 points are the most all-time for the Vikings and second all-time in Section VII. Senior swingman Taylor Slattery made the second team for the Vikings, finishing with 937 career points, also playing some of his biggest moments for the Civic Center and playoffs, scoring 222 points as the Vikings had a 15-3 playoff record over the past three seasons. A pair of shooters were named to the honorable mention list in Class D, including 1,000-point scorer in Westport senior and 1,000-point scorer Anderson Gay, along with Schroon Lake junior shooting guard Branden Hall.
