Powerhouse Gym hosts IPA-sanctioned powerlifting event By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Powerhouse International  Powerlifting  Meet  will  take  place  Saturday, July 18 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Powerhouse Gym.   “This is probably the first powerlifting event  in  our  area,”  said  Keith  Provost,  co-owner  of  Powerhouse Gym. “I don’t ever remember one  being  in  Plattsburgh  as  long  as  I’ve  been  in  gyms for the last 30 years.  “It’s  a  very  good  experience  for  young  and  old and a powerlifting event is just a lot of fun.”   Promoted by Powerhouse Gym and directed  by World Champion Powerlifter Bill Crawford  and  Ross  Saldan,  owner  of  Montreal  Barbell,  this  is  an  IPA  sanctioned  meet  with  both  men  and  women  raw  and  equipped  divisions  and  both pro and amateur categories.   There’s  also  a  men’s  police,  fire,  EMS  and  military division in the IPA organization.   During the day, there will be three main lifts  — bench, deadlift and squat — in each division  with new equipment purchased by Powerhouse  Gym,  including  calibrated  powerlifting  plates,  lifting bars from Texas Power Bar and the only  model  lift  for  squats  that  has  ever  been  in  our  area north of Albany, according to Provost.    At the meet, there will be a Atlas Ball Challenge  during  the  breaks  with  a  trophy,  t-shirt  and supplement gift. There will be raffles and a  huge sale on supplements. D&D Meats will be  selling food for the day and the food sales will  go  toward  both  the  Plattsburgh  Football  Club

and Tour De Force.   “We have a really strong presence here at the  gym  with  police,  EMS,  fire  and  military  and  we offer a very substantial discount for them,”  Provost said. “I’m a retired correction officer, so  we really strive to give those guys a good deal  and that’s why we want to support the Tour De  Force.”   Not  only  does  Powerhouse  Gym    aim  to  please local heroes, but athletes, local youth and  community  members  as  well  by  offering  the  largest  training  center  in  the  area  north  of  Albany.

Provost  and  his  fiance/co-owner  Michelle  Mosher  opened  Powerhouse  Gym  in  August  2014, making a push for the athlete by offering  a wide-range of equipment.   Powerhouse  Gym  carries  TrueForm  Runner  treadmills and an indoor sled track.   They’re  currently  trying  to  make  a  push  for  CrossFit  people,  as  well,  including  purchasing  the necessary equipment and converting one of  the rooms into a CrossFit box, which should all  be completed by fall.  “We’re  really  striving  to  become  a  training  center and not so much a ‘gym,’” Provost said.

“We’re really trying to push for the athlete.”    Not  only  does  Powerhouse  Gym  offer  more  equipment, they also offer fitness classes, such  as  spin,  zumba,  turbo  kick,  pilates  and  CrossFit, along with Biggest Loser twice a year with  Mosher.     “I  think  with  Keith  and  I  being  pro  bodybuilders we have a lot of knowledge,” Mosher  said. “You can’t go wrong when you walk into  this gym because it’s just a really friendly atmosphere and you have friendly people running it  who are willing to be there for you.”   For the event, awards will be given to the top  three in each division. It costs $75 plus IPA fee  for one lift (bench or deadlift), $75 for two lifts  (bench and deadlift) and $100 for all three lifts  — bench, deadlift and squat.   People not wanting to powerlift but support  family members or friends in the event, watch  the event as a spectator or work out at the gym  can pay $5 for the day.   In order to compete, the participant must be  an IPA member to compete. Visit www.ipapower.com  for  organization  info  and  membership  forms.   For  more  information  about  the  event  or  the  gym,  call  518-561-4163,  email  Powerhouse12901@gmail.com  or  visit  Powerhouse  Gym’s Facebook page “Powerhouse Gym.”   “Our gym has more equipment, competitive  rates  and  a  better  atmosphere,”  Provost  said.  “If you have a problem on the floor, if you’re a  new or old member, Michelle and I are almost  always on the floor and we’re here for you.”

Flatwater canoe and kayak race to take place in Saranac

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com SARANAC —  The  16th  annual  Saranac  Flatwater  Challenge

will take place Saturday, July 18 on Saranac River at the Town of  Saranac recreation facilities near Picketts Corners.   “It’s a great section of the river to paddle,” said Chas Billingsley, race director. “There’s no rapids or white water.”   Billingsley,  who’s  been  part  of the race for the past 10 years,  said the down river canoe and  kayak  race  starts  on  Saranac  River near the recreation center,  going down the river, around a  buoy and back up river.

There’s three different races: a 5 mile race for the recreational  class, a 9 mile race for stock canoes and 15 mile race for amateur  and professional classes.   “It’s aerobic, challenging and a good way to investigate what’s  going on in the area,” Billingsley said. “It’s a fun time.”   Registration will go on from 9 to 10:50 a.m. and the first race  will start at 11 a.m.   There’s  a  $25  entry  fee  for  the  races.  The  Saranac  Flatwater  Challenge will benefit the Bill Shene Asthma & Respiratory Fund  — an education-based fund that provides support for individuals in the region who suffer from respiratory diseases.   One,  two  or  four-person  canoes  and  kayaks  are  all  welcome.  For  more  information  on the race, email Billingsley at billingsley.chas@gmail.com  or  visit townofsaranac.com.

All Ford Car Show to take place on Plattsburgh waterfront By Teah Dowling

Because  of  this  love  of  old  cars,  club  members — DeCoste, Vice President Dick Ashfield,  Treasurer  Linda  Gaudette,  Secretary  Jayne  Honer DeCoste and Web Master Michael King  — created this car show in 2000.   All  Ford  vehicles  are  welcome,  as  long  as  they are Ford powered.  Pre-registration costs $15 and day-of registration is $20.   For  more  information  or  to  register  a  vehicle, call 518-236-6080 or 518-297-2482 or visit  http://www.northcountrymustangclub.org.   “It’s a pretty laid back event,” DeCoste said.  “If  you’re  into  old  cars  or  you  want  to  meet  some new people, this will be a good and relaxing day to do it.”

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The 15th annual All Ford  Car  Show  will  take  place  Sunday,  July  26  at  8  a.m.  Hosted by the North Country Mustang Club,  the car show will take place in the large parking lot near the Naked Turtle on the Plattsburgh  waterfront.   The car show will benefit the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum and North Country  Honor Flight.   “We try to benefit multiple charities because  we  want  to  spread  the  money  around  since  there’s plenty of places for money to go,” said  Miles DeCoste, president of the North Country  Mustang Club. “We never set a monetary goal,  but our main goal for this year is to make sure  it doesn’t rain.”   The North Country Mustang Club, originally

known  as  solely  the  Mustang  Club,  started  in  1995  —  a  non-profit  organization  dedicated  to  the enjoyment and enhancement of the motor-

ing sport.   “It  started  as  a  get  together  to  have  a  good  time and meet new people,” said DeCoste.

Hall of Fame fiddler Gretchen Koehler to play in Saranac SARANAC — Gretchen Koehler, honored in 2012 with membership in the New York State Fiddlers Hall of Fame, will perform with one of her favorite music partners, pianist Daniel  Kelly, on Sunday, July 19 at 4 p.m. at the historic United Methodist Church on Route 3. Fiddler Koehler and jazz pianist Kelly are an unlikely duo  whose music branches out widely while still remaining rooted in the old style.  Raised in the musical melting pot of the New England Contra  Dance  tradition,  Koehler’s  left  hand  boasts  a  fierce  Irish  brogue and her bow arm provides a distinct Old Time drive,  while her feet tap out accompaniment with the joie de vivre  of a native Quebecker.  New York City-based pianist Kelly is at home playing anything from jazz to classical and everything in between. The  music  of  Koehler  and  Kelly  blends  the  nuanced  lyricism of jazz piano with the raw energy of authentic Celtic and  New England-style fiddling.  “Masterful,” writes Fiddler Magazine of the duo’s dynamic  sound, noting that it “works for both listening and dancing.”  On their debut album, The Waxwing (2015), fiddler Koehler  and  pianist  Kelly  play  a  wide  selection  of  reels,  jigs,  hornpipes,  and  aires  —  some  old,  some  original  —  arranged  as  multiple, harmonizing fiddle parts woven together by an inventive and lively piano accompaniment.

The  duo’s  bold  approach  has  caught  the  attention  of  the  folk music establishment, and they were featured on an episode of NPR’s “The Thistle & Shamrock” showcasing the best  new sounds in Celtic music.  In live performance, Koehler & Kelly’s original sound bears  witness  to  a  musical  friendship  that  is  rooted  in  a  desire  to  innovate  while  celebrating  a  shared  respect  for  folk  music  traditions. The  concert  features  old  songs  from  the  Irish,  Scottish,  Cape  Breton,  Quebec,  and  New  England  traditions,  including “The Butterfly” (slip jig), “Dinky’s Reel,” “Jenny Dang the  Weaver,” “The Earl’s Chair,” “Martin Wynne” and “Reel de la  Pointe-au-Pic,” as well as original compositions by Gretchen  Koehler,  such  as  “The  Waxwing”  (aire),  “The  Seven  Sisters”  (Irish jig), “My Husband is Dancing” (scottish jig), “Glenda’s  Waltz”  (old  time  waltz)  and  “Frosty  Hinges”  (Contra  Dance  reel).  Tunes  by  current  composers  include  “Wizard’s  Walk”  by  Jay Ungar and “Johnny D’s” by Liz Carroll. A lithe and limber  step-dancer  will  add  visual  percussion  to  a  couple  of  numbers. Concert seating is open with a suggested donation of $15/

general and $12/students-seniors. Children 15 and under attend free. For further information, please telephone 518-2937613 or e-mail hillholl@hughes.net.

Editorial

Protest an exercise in futility

A

horde of activists descended on several  Champlain  Valley  communities  last  week  to  protest  the  ongoing  oil  train traffi c through the region.  They  occupied  construction  sites  and  chained  themselves  to  equipment  in  Vermont  and blocked traffi c in Ticonderoga. The  protests,  which  drew  around  100  demonstrators, were held in conjunction with others  across  the  country  as  part  of  a  week  long  campaign  coordinated  to  commemorate  the  second anniversary of the Lac-Megantic disaster,  which  killed  47  people  after  an  oil  tanker  became  untethered  and  blew  up  part  of  a  Canadian town. These  patchouli-scented  protesters,  including  many  from  the  self-admitted  extremist  radical organization Earth First!, called for the  immediate end of oil transport through the region. While  we  can  fi nd  common  ground  with  their  underlying  sentiment  —  the  4,000  percent  increase  in  traffi c  through  our  communities over the past six years is certainly cause for  alarm — we fi nd their methods counterproductive. This is nothing but an attention grab from a  group of disconnected extremists with a proven track record of spiteful sabotage. Like the Occupy Wall Street movement, their  actions are designed more to stroke their own  egos than moving the needle forward on public  policy. In  fact,  this  group  has  had  a  net  negative  effect with their actions by forcing local emergency  service  providers  and  law  enforcement  offi cials  to  expend  their  valuable  resources  to  monitor what amounted to a temper tantrum.  Across the lake in Vergennes, fi refi ghters had  to extract an activist who chained himself to a  natural  gas  truck  on  its  way  to  International  Paper in Ticonderoga.  Not only was this wildly irresponsible, it was  also ignorant considering natural gas is a cleaner alternative to fuel oil, the usage of which at  IP is widely supported by green groups. It  was  also  dangerous  considering  its  cargo  was full of fl ammable material. Authorities had to use power tools to extract  the irresponsible extremist, a measure that very  well could have led to Lac-Megantic, Part Deux  without the proper training.  These  are  the  very  same  fi rst  responders  who would respond to a possible rail disaster,  putting  life  and  limb  at  risk  while  working  to  quench a lake of fi re.

And they’re understaffed across the board.  Departments in many of the Champlain Valley  communities  dotted  along  these  railways  are in crisis.  A  pair  of  listening  sessions  to  discuss  the  problems facing the Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad earlier this month, for instance,  drew only three people. Willsboro and Essex offi cials have said their  squads will fl atline without a massive restructuring.  The  common  refrain  in  Keene  Valley  is  “What if no one came?”  And  Crown  Point,  one  of  the  communities  located along the railway, doesn’t even have an  ambulance squad anymore.  They  closed  six  months  ago  because  they  couldn’t fi nd a medical director.  Not  only  are  fewer  and  fewer  people  stepping forward to volunteer for these local agencies, but departments are scrambling to afford  the  equipment  that  will  keep  our  people  safe  in  the  event  disaster  does  strike,  from  the  expensive  foam  used  to  quell  oil-fueled  fi res  to  the ambulances that will transport our injured  heroes to hospitals.  In all, nearly a dozen state and local agencies  responded on both sides of the lake last week  to tend to the protestors.  It wasn’t free.  As these extremists did victory laps for their  tantrums, our men and women in uniform quietly went on to their next assignment.  As  if  their  publicity  stunt  wasn’t  enough,  these groups are now asking the community to  foot their legal bills.  Here’s an idea:  How  about  these  agencies  stick  them  with  the  bill  for  the  equipment  repairs  and  overtime? That would be the sensible thing to do.  We  agree  that  oil  by  rail  poses  a  signifi cant  threat to our lakefront communities. But we also feel confi dent that the persistent  pressure  that  our  elected  offi cials,  including  Sen. Chuck Schumer and Gov. Andrew Cuomo,  continue to apply to both the railway industry  and federal and state regulators, progress is being  made  on  ensuring  the  safety  of  our  communities. Protests are fi ne. But when they do nothing  but  stretch  the  resources  of  our  hardworking  agencies, perhaps it’s time to not put earth fi rst,  but rather your fellow citizens.

Problem with rising tide

Hang onto your firearms and pray

To the Editor:

To the Editor:

In  their  editorial  “A  Rising  Tide  Lifts  All  Boats,”  Dan  Alexander,  Keith  Lobdell  and  John  Gereau  sound  like  ignorant  politicians  running for public offi ce instead of intelligent news analysts.  Keeping  in  mind  that  it  takes  no  credentials  to  be  a  politician,  I  would  expect  something  more  informed  from  educated  newspapermen. As sad as it is, most low-wage employees are so because they just  don’t have many marketable  skills.  There  are  hordes  of  uneducated,  illiterate employees nationwide demanding that the government take  care of them by mandating a high minimum wage. The situation has  been  totally  politicized  by  the  Obama  administration’s  pandering  to  its allies, especially the SEIU.   I have repeatedly stated before in letters to this newspaper: It is not  the duty of American businesses to provide a living wage for low skill  employees.  The reason that low-wage employees can not earn a living wage is  because of negligent mismanagement of the economy by government  -- at all levels -- over the years by uncredentialed, incompetent politicians who have allowed the cost of living to be determined by political  contributors instead of any kind of supply and demand. Instead of minimum wage-pandering by minimal-intelligence politicians,  low  marketability  persons  need  help  to  acquire  better  work  skills through better education.  Unfortunately, the dumbing down of  the U.S. education system by the same incompetent politicians makes  this  almost  impossible.  Schools  used  to  teach  reading,  writing  and  arithmetic. Now they teach “free Willie,” “Save the whales,” “Sue your  employer” and so on. The irony is that freeing Willie and saving whales requires a scientifi c knowledge of reading, writing and arithmetic!  If the benefi ts of a high minimum wage for unqualifi ed employees  are  so  great,  why  not  raise  the  minimum  to,  say,  $100  an  hour?    Or,  even better, $500 or more, an hour.  Or, why not pay them as much as  professional baseball players? That would really raise the tide! David Safrany Half Moon Bay, CA

Two letters in the July 11 issue need to be addressed:  ”More  Gun  Control”  by  Jeff  Canton  in  Long  Lake  and  “Controversial Ideas of Right to Bear Arms” by Edward Pontacoloni of Lake  George.  Both were well written.  Thank you guys. But you are totally missing the why of gun control.  Repeat after me: The new world order- the new world order.  Come on now, repeat it 98 more times.  The United States has an estimated 42 to 43 percent of the privately  owned fi rearms in the world. No government can force its will on a  population that is armed.  That is the only reason we have the Second Amendment - to overthrow the government when they refuse  to uphold the constitution.  Look at the statue in front of the UN Building. It is a revolver with  the barrel twisted like a pretzel!  Do you think this think this just might mean something? The United  Nations stated on national TV that their goal is to got the world population down to one billion.  At last count, we were over six billion. Their plans will make Hitler  look like a Sunday school teacher!  Just before Comrade Obama was elected, the UN Secretary General  asked him if he would consider becoming the First new World Order  President. He answered, “I would be honored!”  May  God  have  mercy  on  us  because  no  one  else  will.  Hang  on  to  your fi rearms and pray.

Community Action Angels thank foundations PLATTSBURGH — The JCEO Community Action Angels take great  pride in recognizing the following foundations for their generous support of the BackPack Program.   We  were  extremely  fortunate  to  have  received  a  matching  grant  of  $7,500.00  from  the  Charles  R.  Wood  Foundation  and  a  $2,500.00  grant from The Foundation of Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital  in Plattsburgh, as well as a donation of $501.00 from the Plattsburgh  Noon Kiwanis Club.   With their support we will be able to combat childhood hunger in  our area.    The  main  goal  of  JCEO  Community Action Angels’  BackPack  Program  is  to  ensure  that  chronically  hungry  children  receive  suffi cient  food, especially on the weekend, when school isn’t in session.   This project is funded entirely by donations and we rely solely on  volunteers to implement the program.   The BackPack Program serves 90 children who have been identifi ed  by school personnel as chronically hungry or food insecure.  The project runs for 30 weeks throughout the school year, from October until June. Our focus area is on the three elementary schools located within the City of Plattsburgh (Bailey, Momot and Oak).  Children  receive  a  two  day  supply  of  food:  two  breakfast  items,  three entrée items, fresh or canned fruit, snacks and juice. The majority  of food items are family size portions.  On a bi-weekly basis, children receive a milk card to be redeemed  at Stewart Shops for a gallon of milk. This food helps to combat childhood hunger and the negative effects insuffi cient food intake has on a  child’s health.  This is a vital program because young children should be able to focus their attention on learning and not on their empty stomachs. Early

learning is instrumental in building a fi rm educational foundation that  promotes  long-term  academic  success,  leading  to  future  meaningful  employment opportunities.  A 2011 Child Food Insecurity study revealed that as many as 17 million children nationwide struggle with what is known as food insecurity.  To put it another way, one in four children in this country is living  without consistent access to enough nutritious food to live a healthy  life.   According  to  Child  Trends  Data  Bank,  “Inadequate  food  intake  in  children is associated with a number of serious health, behavior and  cognitive defi cits.  Children who are food-insecure are in poorer health and are more  likely  to  be  developmentally  “at-risk”  than  non-food-insecure  children. Children in food-insecure households have more stomach aches,  frequent  headaches,  and  colds  than  children  who  are  in  food-secure  households.  Higher  rates  of  hospitalization,  iron  defi ciency  anemia,  and chronic health conditions are reported among food-insecure children.” More information can be found at http://www.childtrends.org.  Here is your chance to make a difference in the life of a child and  help fuel a child’s future! It only takes $167.00 to sponsor a child for  one year.  All donations, either big or small, will be accepted and are used to  purchase the food that the children receive.   For more information or to make a donation to this program, please  contact Kathy Bishop at 561-6310. With the support of our community  we will be able to expand this program and make a difference in the  lives of local children.

Stop the vandalism

M

ost of these “Little Bits” are what I  call fl uff—light and fun. This one is  not.  It’s  about  vandalism  in  cemeteries and how I believe it to be abhorrent. Most  of  you  are  familiar with a recent story about w i d e s p r e a d  damage and destruction in the historic Plattsburgh Riverside  Cemetery. When I learned  of  what  happened  there, my stomach  churned.  I  by Gordie Little looked  at  Kaye  and  we  said  almost  simultaneously,  “Who  would  do  a  thing  like that?” Who, indeed. Our next thought was,  “Can the police discover the person or persons  who  perpetrated  this  heinous  act  and,  regardless of age, will those responsible be prosecuted  to the full extent of the law?” I have not spoken with Plattsburgh City Police about it. I am no longer an everyday reporter  except  in  a  peripheral  way.  However,  with  extensive  experience  gathering  and  delivering  news to the North Country, I have ways of getting  information.  I  will  be  reading,  watching  and listening to all who report on this Riverside  desecration  and  will  use  whatever  meagre  infl uence I can muster to bring this case to a reasonable conclusion. My  friends  know  my  passion  for  local  history. Kaye and I have wandered through countless cemeteries in this region and elsewhere. We  believe  graveyards  are  windows  to  the  past.  Finding  the  oldest  cemetery  in  any  place  we  visit, is like dessert after a satisfying meal. We  ponder over the names, dates and epitaphs. We  have  stood  among  the  monuments  and  stones  in  Gettysburg,  closed  our  eyes  and  listened  for  the  high-pitched  voice  of  our  16th  president delivering his brief but powerful address  in  November  of  1863.  We  have  walked  with  reverence  through  Arlington  National  Cemetery  and  shed  a  tear  at  the  tomb  of  the  Unknown  Soldier.  We  have  been  fi lled  with  emotion  as  we  stood  before  the  eternal  fl ame  honoring  John  F.  Kennedy.  We  have  scanned  every stone in the mostly forgotten graveyards  at Cades Cove in Tennessee, pondering the grief  of  parents  who  lost  entire  families  during  the  1918  infl uenza  pandemic.  We  have  done  the  same at the Post Cemetery along Route 9 south  of Plattsburgh. We have replicated that exercise  with  bona  fi de  historians  throughout  Clinton  County, from the Northern Tier to the southern  boundary  as  well  as  east  and  west.  We  have  studied  the  records  painstakingly  recorded  by  Hugh and Woody McLellan many decades ago,  along  with  more  recent  updates  by  Clyde  Rabideau, Sr. We  have  traveled  to  Scotland  and  Ireland  to  fi nd  the  graves  of  our  ancestors  and  cherished gravestone rubbings done in London and  throughout  England  by  my  late  Aunt  Freda.  We  have  meandered  through  rows  upon  rows  of  interesting  above-ground  burial  vaults  in  New Orleans. In short, we fi nd cemeteries to be  like libraries, revealing much about those who  came  before.  Our  righteous  anger  wells  when  we hear stories such as the recent vandalism at  Riverside Cemetery on Steltzer Drive in Plattsburgh. It would take more space than this to recount  every story I know about such horrors. I recall  vandals  stealing  skulls  from  a  Peru  cemetery  vault  and  parading  about  like  the  demented  creatures  they  appeared  to  be.  I  remember  stones tipped over in area cemeteries as youth  carried out macabre acts over the years. I know  of  a  case  where  grave  stones  were  bulldozed  into a local river. I salute my friends from the Clinton County  Historical  Association  who  tagged  the  gravestones of Civil War veterans recently. I applaud  those who have rediscovered and reclaimed rural cemeteries that had fallen into disarray. I  will  not  be  satiated  until  all  who  were  responsible for the destruction at Riverside Cemetery  are  brought  to  justice  and  the  damage  is  repaired. Someone knows who the culprit(s) are  and I pray that they will step forward to help us  bring it to some kind of satisfactory end. Thank  you  for  indulging  me  and  thanks  for  all  the  hard  work  police  and  others  are  doing  in this case. Please try with all the strength and  will  you  can  muster  to  instill  respect  in  your  children  so  they  won’t  be  tempted  to  do  such  dastardly deeds.

Kent-Delord House Museum launches campaign to replace roof By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Imagine leaving your legacy on top of a cedar roof for future generations to see.   The Buy-A-Shingle Campaign launched this month as a way to  put  money  into  the  Kent-Delord  House  Museum’s  roof  replacement fund.  The  museum  needs  to  raise  another  $30,000  for  their  $60,000  project  to  replace  the  cedar  roof  —  a  historic  trademark  of  the  house — with a unique fundraiser that leaves more history than  just the house.   “Not only are you supporting a house that’s an icon in Plattsburgh  history,”  said  Don  Wickman,  director  of  the  Kent-Delord  House Museum, “but you’re also leaving your legacy behind for  about 50 years.”   When  the  main part  of  the  house  was  built  in  1797  and  renovated  in  1811  by  Henry  Delord,  cedar  was  the  material  used  on  the roof.   When William H. Miner purchased the house for a museum in  1924, he renovated it extensively with copper.   The  copper  lasted  until  1980  when  high  winds  inflicted  damage  on  the  roof.  At  that  time,  the  museum’s  Board  of  Directors  decided to go back to the material initially on the roof and raised  the money themselves.   Now, it’s time to replace the cedar again, only this time with a  substitute.   Instead of using cedar that lasts approximately 25 years, Wickman discovered a sustainable composite, a plastic fiberglass, that

looks similar to cedar and lasts 25 years longer.   “It’s a point of using new technology and keeping some historical accuracy,” Wickman said. “We have actually fooled people.”   So far, the museum has raised half of the funds and replaced some of  the roof with the new, carefully picked shingle.   When  picking  the  composite,  the  museum  had  to  choose  from  nine  different colors and they chose the color closely resembled to weathered  cedar since cedar after three years turns gray.   The new cedar-like  shingles not only come with easy instructions on  how to place it properly on the roof, but a small section on the back where  one can leave their legacy.   “We thought it would be interesting as a fundraiser for people to buy a  shingle that they can call their own,” Wickman said. “You can commemorate anything you want.”   Wickman created this fundraiser as a new way for people can honor a  friend or relative.  People can purchase a shingle for $10 in remembrance or a unique gift  to  celebrate  birthdays,  holidays,  births,  weddings,  retirements,  graduations, memorials, anniversaries, promotions, accomplishments, teachers,  pets, confirmations and anything else one would like to commemorate.   The purchased and personalized shingle will be placed on the roof both  won’t be visible until the roof is replaced 50 years from now.   “It’s like we’re creating a time capsule,” said Wickman.  The  fundraiser  will  continue  on  through  to  the  Battle  of  Plattsburgh.  To learn more or to purchase a shingle, call 518-561-1035, visit kentdelordhouse.org or visit the Kent-Delord House Museum at 17 Cumberland  Ave. Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. TOP RIGHT: Kent-Delord House Museum director Don Wickman shows the difference between regular cedar and the sustainable composite replacing the cedar in the future. This new composite will last 25 years longer than regular cedar but will still embrace the house’s history.

Branham, Quenneville take “Battle of Plattsburgh”

PLATTSBURGH  — Airborne  Park  Speedway’s  “Battle  of  Plattsburgh”  fireworks  and  stock  car  racing  special  proved  to  be  worth  the one-week delay on Saturday, July 11 with three divisions of the  NASCAR Whelen All-American Series presented by Yandow Sales &  Service and John Deere putting on six competitive feature races followed by a fireworks display. Winners were Bucko Branham, Vince  Quenneville Jr., Tylor Terry, Brent Jarvis, Chris LaVair, and Kris Clark. Hometown driver Branham became the first repeat winner of the  season in the J&S Steel Modified division in the opening 50-lap race.  Ryan McLean led the first dozen  circuits before rookie Danny Sullivan  of  Morrisonville  took  over  following  the  first  restart.  Sullivan opened up a large lead before Branham tracked him down.  Branham  caught  Sullivan  at  lap  30 and gave chase; Sullivan survived the final restart on lap 39,  but  Branham  stayed  with  him.  The  cars  touched  wheels  with  three  laps  to  go,  and  Branham  was able to gather his car up before  Sullivan,  making  a  pass  on  the  backstretch  to  take  the  lead  and go on to the win. Tylor  Terry  of  Morrisonville  posted his first win of the season  in the first 25-lap Key R-D Trailer  Sales Renegade feature. Terry, in  his new role steering the #08 car  for  veteran  driver-turned-owner  Andrew  Bordeau,  had  an  entertaining  battle  with  Moriah’s  Jim  McKiernan  that  saw  the  pair  trade  the  lead  five  times.  Terry  and McKiernan finished 1-2, followed by point leader Jason McClatchie,  Shawn  Duquette  and  Zach Rabtoy.

Brent Jarvis of Rouses Point scored an unlikely career-first win in  the second Renegade 25-lapper; Jarvis was forced out of the first race  by a broken rear end and his team hastily rebuilt the driveline of the  car as the other divisions’ races were being completed. After nearly  missing the start of the second race, Jarvis ran to the win, leading all  but  the  first  two  laps.  Duquette  completed  a  solid  night  in  second  place, followed by Richie Turner, McKiernan, and McClatchie; original third-place finisher Jimmy Bushey was disqualified in post-race  inspection for a weight violation.

‘Enough is Enough’ From page 1

uniform  definition  of  affirmative  consent,  a  statewide  amnesty  policy  and  expanded  access  to  law  enforcement  to  ensure  the  safety of all students attending colleges in the state. “I am proud to sign into law the most aggressive policy in the  nation to fight against sexual assault on college campuses,” Gov.  Cuomo said in a statement. “With this law, we will better protect  every student that attends college within our borders and I am  proud New York is leading the way once again.”   The legislation was first proposed by the governor in January  and  will  extend  the  preventive  policy  and  protections  adopted  by SUNY campuses to all university campuses  statewide.   These requirements also contain an amnesty clause.  Students  reporting  incidents  of  sexual  assault  or  other  sexual  violence  will  be  granted  immunity for certain campus policy violations,  including drug or alcohol abuse. Campuses  will  also  be  required  to  annually  submit aggregate data on reported incidents of  sexual violence and their adjudication and handling to the State Education Department.

By creating this full-time, one-hat position, this allows Blaise  to  investigate  sexual  violence  reports  if  the  report  doesn’t  turn  into  a  criminal  investigation  and  the  student  doesn’t  feel  comfortable working alongside University Police.   “The fact that they created this position as a full-time position  speaks to the fact that we know that those statistics don’t tell us  everything  and  we  want  to  create  an  environment  and  culture  where students feel safe to speak out and seek resources that we  have on campus,” Blaise said. “I’m hoping that message will be  heard and seen by students.”   “MANDATORY REPORTERS” SUNY  Plattsburgh,  so  far,  has  most  of  the  requirements  the  legislation requires, including mandatory reporters.

fer them to different services.   “There’s  an  issue  with  sexual  assault  on  every  campus,”  O’Connell  said.  “A  lot  of  sexual  assaults  go  unreported, unfortunately.”   O’Connell  believes  the  reason  why  some  sexual  assaults  go  unreported is because communication about sex, to some people,  has  been  very  unclear,  which  brings  in  the  long  and  extensive  definition of affirmative consent provided by SUNY.   INCREASED CLARITY Along  with  what  was  mentioned  above,  the  affirmative  consent  definition  addresses  possible  misunderstandings,  such  as  how  silence  or  lack  of  resistance  cannot  be  interpreted  as  consent,  consent  may  be  initially  be  given  but  withdrawn  at  any  time and consent cannot be given when a person is incapacitated.   Paul Smith’s College, one of the first private  colleges  to  join  the  initiative  in  the  beginning  of May, implemented this definition along with  the other requirements and more.   “It’s  our  intent  to  fully  support  and  map  to  the initiative,” said Shannon Oborne, chief marketing  officer  at  Paul  Smith’s  College.  “It’s  really strong and it’s going to make New York a  terrific and safe place for students.”     Other than the campuses, the  new law  will  create a new unit within the State Police called  the “sexual assault victims unit,” with a focus on advanced training in responding to sexual assaults and related crimes that will  also  provide  assistance  to  campus  police  or  local  law  enforcement, as well as training to college campus communities.   Lastly,  a  commitment  of  $10  million  to  help  combat  campus  sexual  assault  through  various  partners  will  be  split  in  the  following manner: $4.5 million to rape crisis centers to provide services  and  resources  to  students,  $4.5  million  to  State  Police  to  create sexual assault victims unit and $1 million to colleges and  universities.   SUNY  Plattsburgh,  Clinton  Community  College  and  Paul  Smith’s College all said they hope to create a new consent culture  in time through this initiative and their changes.    “We don’t want our students to tolerate or accept this type of  behavior,” Hartman said. “It’s a work in progress, but it’s a problem here and we need to do something about it.”

“There’s an issue with sexual assault on every campus. A lot of sexual assaults go unreported, unfortunately.” Chrisa O’Connell

STEP UP! “If we have one case a semester, it’s an issue, so yeah we have  an issue,” said Bryan Hartman, vice president of student affairs  from SUNY Plattsburgh. “It’s a cultural issue in society and we  need everyone’s help in changing this issue; this law helps.”   In  the  near  future,  SUNY  Plattsburgh  hopes  to  complete  the  following goals:  Create the best practices for faculty and staff in regards to sexual violence prevention education, increase educational training  in the classroom, provide every department and academic advisor with resources (Resource Brochure for victims of sexual violence),  create  social  media  items  to  increase  awareness  around  campus and push Step UP!   Step UP!, a prosocial behavior and bystander intervention program  that  educates  students  to  be  proactive  in  helping  others,  started  last  year  but  is  just  being  presented  to  student  orientations this summer.  This  program  teaches  students  to  take  notice,  figure  out  the  appropriate response to a sexual violence situation and how to  act.   Through this, they hope to raise awareness of helping behaviors, increase motivation to help, develop skills and confidence  when responding to problems or concerns and ensure safety and  well-being of self and others.   “It’s  not  asking  anyone  to  put  themselves  into  harms  way,”  Hartman  explained.  “But  it  is  telling  them  that  we  should  care  and we should act.”   NEW STAFFER Along with Step UP!, SUNY Plattsburgh hired a full-time Title  IX coordinator, Butterfly Blaise.   Blaise started working part-time in November 2014 but started full-time July 1, taking one of the many hats worn by Lynda  Ames,  affirmative  action  officer  and  professor  of  sociology  at  SUNY Plattsburgh.

Airport

From page 1 “The current terminal really cannot comfortably accommodate  more than one large aircraft at a time, so even with our current  services,  it’s  not  unusual  if  one  flight  is  delayed,”  said  Garry  Douglas, president and CEO of the North Country Chamber of  Commerce. “We have reasons to be confident that additional air  service will develop here when we have to capacity.”   The  expansion  includes  increased  ticketing  space,  security  checkpoint  space,  baggage  claim  space,  space  for  car  rentals  on-site, office space for airport operations and security and concourse space.   It also adds additional passenger porting check bridges, dedicated  facilities  for  concessions,  bilingual  signage  for  Canadian  travelers and a new checkpoint relocated from its current locations downstairs on the first level to upstairs. “The terminal will be vastly different,” said Christopher Krieg,  airport manager. “We’re touching about every piece of space in  the terminal as part of the expansion project.”   Plattsburgh  International Airport  decided  to  expand  the  airport for two reasons: capacity issues and future growth.   When the airport first opened in 2007, it only had 40,000 enplanements, but the number of enplanements grew by year.    In 2013, they had 150,000 enplanements and 140,000 last year.   “We’ve certainly exceeded the space available in the existing  terminal,”  Krieg  said,  “which  is  the  driving  reason  why  we’re  expanding it.”   With  the  high  amount  of  enplanements,  they  wanted  to  expand the terminal in away that they could address not only the  space issues, but to plan for airline and air service growth, which  is why the airport also decided to add a customs facility.   With  the  implementation  of  the  new  customs  facility,  it  will  allow international flights out of Plattsburgh.   Although the airportÕ s name is Ò Plattsburgh International Airport,” they do not currently have on-site customs to be able to be  an international airport. After this expansion, they will be.    The North Country Chamber of Commerce has been conducting a survey on what people would like to see added to the airport — destinations they would like to travel to. There have been  ongoing discussions about those locations, but Krieg prefers not  to go into details at this time.   However, the airport will be incorporating a few international  destinations most attractive to the community.

In other words, if you see something, you must say something. From sexual violence to stalking, every employee on campus,  Hartman said, is a mandatory reporter, at least under Title IX and  the Violence Against Women’s Act amendments (VAWA).  Under  the  Clery  Act,  however,  they’re  still  seeking  verification.   Along  with  the  campus’  mandatory  reporters  who  must  report all Title IX violations of sex-based discrimination and sexual  harassment,  there  are  confidential  reporters  of  counseling  and  health  care  centers,  such  as  Clinton  Community  counselor  Chrisa O’Connell.   O’Connell, by law, is required to let the Title IX Coordinator,  Ed Klein, know that there was an assault reported but can deny  disclosure of any information in regards to the victim unless the  victim wants to.  In terms of assisting the victim, she’s allowed to listen and re-
