Council eyes early budget deadline

Peru ‘Applefest’ marks 40th year

active by taking this action.”

PLATTSBURGH | Months of budget talks are expected to culminate with a series of Common Council votes next week.

The state tax cap this year is 2.85 percent, according to City Chamberlain Richard Marks.

According to Councilor Michael Kelly (Ward 2), the council will seek to adopt a budget for 2018 on Sept. 14 — four months ahead of schedule.

This, he said, will give Mayor Colin Read a better financial outlook to present to the city’s bond agency later this year.

What began as a fundraiser for St. Augustine’s School, according to Applefest Committee Member John Ryan, has morphed into a town-wide end-ofsummer blowout.

“The sooner we can deliver the message that the city is charting a new course, the better,” said Councilor Rachelle Armstrong (Ward 1) in an email. “Taxpayers, investors and financial entities such as Moody’s need to know that we are serious about fiscal responsibility and sustainability.

“It brings the whole parish together, and it brings the whole community together,” Ryan said.

“We are being proactive rather than re-

email. “By then, to bring something back could prove costly. An emergency expenditure could arise between adoption and January 2018, possibly raising havoc during that time period.”

‘NOT THE END’ OF BUDGET TALKS

The same day, the Common Council will vote on whether to override the state tax cap, according to Read.

Read submitted his proposed budget for 2018 just over one month ago.

This is a deviation from the norm, where the mayor would usually submit a proposed budget to the council in October.

Before the council votes yes or no on overriding the cap, a public hearing is set for 5 p.m. — residents are encouraged to visit City Hall and share their thoughts on the tax levy increase.

Last year, the Common Council held several budget sessions between October and January of this year, when the 2017 budget was adopted.

“This is not the end of this discussion,” said Kelly, at a public meeting last week.

This year, budget discussions have been ongoing since Read’s inauguration in January.

Once the council adopts a budget for 2018, he said, they will look at the budget as “flexible” and pass amendments as they find more areas of savings.

‘VERY COMFORTABLE’

When asked if they felt comfortable passing a budget on Sept. 14, the Common Council ultimately agreed: Yes.

Once adopting the budget, no changes can be made until the budget goes into effect in 2018, according to Marks.

“Yes, I do feel somewhat comfortable with a Sept. 14 date to adopt our budget,” said Dowdle, in an email. “There are a few more questions and concerns to address before then but I anticipate these will be covered at our meeting of Sept. 7.”

“If for example, a measure to save costs does not pan out as planned, a revisit can not be made until after the first of the year,” said Councilor Dale Dowdle (Ward 3) in an

Town of Plattsburgh tapped for clean energy efforts Plattsburgh is now eligible for up to $100K in state funding Town Councilor Meg LeFevre, in a news release.

PLATTSBURGH | The Town of Plattsburgh has been named the county’s first state-designated Clean Energy Community.

The designation comes at the heels of a number of clean energy initiatives by the town, including participation in a solar energy campaign, adoption of a streamlined solar permit application process and more.

City finance committee eyes volunteer campaign

‘Biggest Loser’ program returns to Plattsburgh

‘We can expand services without expanding staff,’ resident says

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

Applicants sought for ninth season of weight loss course

PLATTSBURGH | As part of their mission to lower the city’s tax rate while balancing the quality of services, the Citizen’s Finance Advisory Committee hopes to bolster volunteerism.

By Elizabeth Izzo

PLATTSBURGH | It’s time to dust off that treadmill.

The committee, composed of a dozen residents, discussed ways that city-funded services could be aided by volunteers at a public meeting last Tuesday.

Application for the program is now open, according to a news release from the city’s events coordinator.

Barbell proposed that the committee look at the benefits of spearheading a number of volunteer programs to help out city departments.

STA FF W RITER

The city of Plattsburgh’s Recreation Department will again host “Biggest Loser,” a six-month long fitness program, starting Oct. 7.

“We can expand services without expanding staff,” said resident Ira Barbell.

Billed as a “lifestyle change” program, 20 participants will be chosen to undergo a rigorous regimen of weight training, circuit training and cardio workouts lead by professional trainer Theodore Santaniello.

The Recreation Department and Plattsburgh Public Library would be a good place to start, he said, before moving onto shifting paid positions — like school crossing guards — to volunteer positions.

Last year, a group of 24 people lost over 400 pounds, collectively. “It was quite a dramatic weight loss,” he said.

“Is it possible, in New York state, to go from a paid to a volunteer fire department?” Councilor Michael Kelly (Ward 2) asked. “Some people have suggested that.

Over 200 people have gone through the North Country Biggest Loser Program so far, according to Santaniello.

But that weight loss isn’t just through a strict fitness regimen: Participants in the program also receive nutrition education from certified nutritionists, registered dietitians and physician assistants.

“Nutrition is more than half of the components necessary to make a lifestyle change,” he said.

“It’s very important that (the participants) are eating correctly to have the energy to perform.”

Four coaches are involved in the program, he said, and each of them have been through the system.

“They understand what it feels like to do this. That makes a huge difference to (the participants).”

A $125 participation fee will be required for the program, but memberships to the City Recreation Center — which range from $29 to $359 depending on residency and time period — will be free for all applicants.

Applications for the Biggest Loser program can be downloaded at plattsburghrecreation.com/biggestloser, or picked up at the City Recreation Center. The deadline to apply is Sept. 19. ■

tional Facebook page.

The group’s meeting on Aug. 29, attended by Councilors Mike Kelly (Ward 2), Peter Ensel (Ward 4) and Mayor Colin Read, featured a lengthy discussion about the importance of resident awareness of the city’s current financial situation.

Key information to get out there, according to resident John Strack, is the state’s Financial Restructuring Board report — which outlines the state’s recommendations to the city for future budget planning, areas of possible service sharing and more.

“We can put copies of this on every street corner,” resident Don Papier said. “But as the old saying goes: ‘You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink.’”

Talk of negotiating a partial-volunteer fire department surfaced at the committee meeting last week.

‘THE SKY ISN’T FALLING’

Something crucial for residents to understand, according to Ensel and Read, is that services are not being cut as departments are being closed:

“A group like this could research that information.”

“We can cut back on the budget without cutting back services,” Read told the committee.

Kelly, who created the citizen’s committee, said that volunteers equate to savings on the city’s behalf.

The Common Council voted to abolish four departments on July 27, with Read casting the deciding vote on three of those proposals.

“You could see a lot of engaged people getting involved,” he said.

PUBLIC INFORMATION CAMPAIGN

Ensel said that he has heard from a number of constituents concern over service cuts.

The committee last week decided to put out a call for social media-savvy residents, hoping someone may come forward that could help out with maintaining an informa-

‘City of Plattsburgh March’ celebrates Lake City culture “I never dreamed anything like this would happen,” musician says

By Elizabeth Izzo

Andrew Lower, what started as a simple folksong in 2002 recently morphed into a full-band score.

Now Ransom’s song has been handed to musicians playing in this year’s Battle of Plattsburgh parade.

Whether the song will get played is unclear, according to Ransom.

“But I do hope they play it,” he said.

STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Local lawmakers got a big surprise at last week’s Plattsburgh Common Council meeting.

No, it wasn’t a comment from a concerned resident, or a statement from a local business owner — but the presentation of a song written about the Lake City.

Moved by his love for Plattsburgh, musician Stan Ransom presented his tune — “The City of Plattsburgh March” — alongside a copy of the score and his 2015 album “Down the Saranac” to Mayor Colin Read and the Plattsburgh Common Council last Thursday.

Ransom originally wrote “The City of Plattsburgh March” in 2002.

The song offers notes from the city’s past and present — everything from apples and maple syrup to Nova Bus and Georgia-Pacific is chronicled.

“At the time, it was the 200th anniversary of the city,” he said.

Thanks to a SUNY Plattsburgh student,

This year’s Battle of Plattsburgh festivities are now underway.

After being in charge of children’s games at the celebration for nearly 20 years, this year Ransom, along with his wife Christina, will marshal the annual Battle of Plattsburgh parade.

“I never dreamed anything like this would happen,” Ransom said.

The parade is slated for this Saturday, Sept.

9 at 1 p.m.

For more information about Ransom and “The City of Plattsburgh March,” visit stanransom.com.

By Rich Redman like some direction • COLUMNIST • on a problem.

Recently I received a call from a local fellow who has traveled back and forth to work over the same stretch of highway for the last thirteen years.

Tom Briggs of Moriah works as a blasting driller at NYCO in Lewis and travels the Lincoln Pond Road daily — same path, same time.

When you drive the road daily, you see the subtle changes. Maybe it’s the weather, maybe wildlife, or the day to day change of a construction site; a kind of time lapse photography. You mentally take that picture every day and program the changes.

Tom has an eye for wildlife. He noticed and noted the times when the turtles build their nests near Lincoln Pond.

He pointed out that the second and third weeks of June are prime time for turtles to come ashore and scrap out a hollow to deposit their eggs into. Sometimes they cross the road, and sometimes they don’t make it. He has seen drivers deliberately crush the turtles.

While walking the shoreline, he pointed out nesting sites. As a guy who drives the Lincoln Pond Road

daily, he sees the turtles make their nests, and notes their locations. Tom has also noticed that the new guard rails along the causeway were installed at the same time the turtles were involved in their nesting.

Without a doubt, some nests were trampled by the construction, plus others are being destroyed by the foot traffic off the causeway. Tom wanted to point out that most people don’t know the nests are there. If they knew, they may have a respect for the area and stay off the banks.

Tom wasn’t sure what to do, and asked if I could help. I said I’ll write an article and call it “Dances with Turtles,” not as humorous, but out of respect.

So, I am letting you know about the nests and maybe — that’s a big maybe — the Lincoln Pond people and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation could put up a sign warning folks, or even designate off-limit areas during the nesting period so the turtles have a chance. It may be too late for this season, but life continues next spring and the following springs.

The areas could have some sand spread where turtles could lay eggs and maybe have an easier time digging out a nest. It’s too late for this year, but not for the future. This could be done on many road side ponds, not just on Lincoln Pond, as an educational tool.

To some people this will be foolish, but many will appreciate what Tom Briggs of Moriah is trying to do. It’s a simple thing. We are all part of the ecology. There is no reason to smash and destroy wildlife nests. Let’s give them a chance to live too. » Outdoor Cont. on pg. 18

Smart Growth grants awarded to area towns Port Henry, Crown Point, Willsboro among Essex County communities to win funds for public parks and recreation improvements

ELIZABETHTOWN | Seventeen communities and cultural organizations in the North Country won Smart Growth grant awards last

By Kim Dedam month as part of an ongoing • STA FF W RITER • state effort to boost local economies, recreation programs and infrastructure.

In Crown Point, for example, the town won $75,000 to upgrade wastewater treatment services to the War Canoe Distillery, a new business moving into an unused feed store on Route 9N. Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington said the funding is a welcome addition to the town’s effort to bring in new business.

“This grant funding is for upgrades to the system, as the distillery wastewater needs to be pretreated for our plant.”

War Canoe Distillery is investing this year in the external part of the structure, the old Agway Store.

“Then they will be working with the engineering aspects of the distillery,” Harrington said.

As to the wastewater treatment improvements, Harrington said the work has begun.

“The Essex County Planning Office was

instrumental in ensuring that we pursue this grant and be successful in obtaining the funds,” Harrington said.

A grant award of $75,000 is going to the Town of Willsboro to continue development at the Florence Hathaway Recreation Park, a joint project of the town and the Youth Commission. The Rec Park is open year-round and has a tennis court, a play-trail system for families and children in addition to volleyball courts, a community garden, picnic areas and a nature/cross-country ski trail that connects with the Champlain Area Trails along the Lake Champlain valley.

The Town of Moriah won $75,000 to help transform the waterfront in the Hamlet of Port Henry.

The Fort Ticonderoga Association won $25,000 for stone deck repairs at Fort Ticonderoga.

Other monies were awarded to municipalities and to local cultural centers for plans also underway, stretching from Franklin County to the southernmost edge of the Adirondack Park.

TRI-LAKES REGION

In the Tri-Lakes region, the Village of Saranac Lake won $75,000 to help construct the Saranac Lake Southern Gateway Multi-Use Trail.

awarded $18,700 for video promotions.

The Sagamore Institute of the Adirondacks won $67,620 for their Great Camp Sagamore Visitor Interpretation and Education Project.

The Lake George Land Conservancy was awarded $40,000 toward Pilot Knob Trail reconstruction.

A $60,000 grant for Hamilton County will support phase one of the Adirondack Cycling Strategy toward bicycle tourism.

A $73,500 grant for the Town of Indian Lake will support development of Essex Chain Lakes and Cedar River Flow Hamlet gateway facilities.

The Town of Caroga won $6,000 toward planning the Wheelerville Trails System.

The Town of Johnsburg won $73,981for Ski Bowl Park Improvements and Little Gore Summit Trail and beach improvements.

The Village of Northville won $42,000 for zoning updates.

And the Otter Lake Fire Company won a grant for $19,210 toward a feasibility study for senior citizen housing in Forestport.

Additional grants in this round were given to communities and sustainable development programs in the Catskills.

SMART GROWTH

In all, the state awarded $1.35 million in this round of Smart Growth funding, which is drawn from the Environmental Protection Fund in coordination with the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

“The Catskill and Adirondack parks are two of New York’s premier year-round destinations, offering unmatched outdoor recreation and stunning natural beauty for residents and visitors alike to enjoy,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, in announcing awards.

DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said the monies are designed to help localities develop and implement smart growth strategies.

“DEC’s Smart Growth Implementation Grants Program promotes growth that recognizes the link between economic development, the built environment, and protecting our irreplaceable natural resources and healthy communities,” Seggos said. ■

The cultural arts center at BluSeed Studios in Saranac Lake won a $39,010 grant for building and site improvements along the Saranac Lake travel corridor.

And the Town of Tupper Lake won $75,000 for Tupper Lake Rail-Trail readiness planning and improvements.

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Nothing to prove I received a fair amount of correspondence after the recent column titled “Misguided efforts.”

As you might expect,

By Dan Alexander some disagreed with • PUBLISHER • my position and others agreed.

What’s also interesting are those who want to go on record versus those who want to share their thoughts privately.

It speaks to the ever-growing divide and despite how strongly many feel on both sides of the issue, they remain fearful of personal attacks or reprisals should they share their thought publicly.

Here’s another thought with respect to that column I want to share.

I’m not immune to the plight of African Americans nor minorities in the preceding years of our country. Slavery was a terrible practice inflicted on them, through the centuries, but it was America that stood tall in the 1800s and since to make the civilized world understand that humans were not a commodity to be bought and sold.

To further my point, in the 21st century all Americans of all nationalities have a great opportunity to accomplish anything they set their mind to. No other person, group of protesters or statue can ever take that way nor claim they are inferior in anyway.

There isn’t one field of interest that African Americans and other minorities haven’t excelled to the highest level of accomplishment.

Government, medical, technical, law-enforcement, business, social, sports, education, entertainment, you name it — there is complete equality among the races bar none.

Look no further than former President Barack Obama and Dr. Ben Carson; from humble beginnings Obama reached the highest office in the land, while Carson performed the most intricate surgery known to medicine. There is nothing more for this race to prove.

It’s no longer about the color of one’s skin, nor nationality, that holds one back nor advances one forward. Today it’s all about self commitment and self conduct.

If we’ve accomplished anything in the last 150 years it must be that we look past skin color and judge people on the merits of their individual efforts.

More than any time in the past, people have the option to make themselves into whatever they choose if they are willing to follow their dream and nothing from the distant past can change what accomplishments people can achieve today.

We are all created equal. We can marvel at what some accomplish and shake our heads at what other do with their lives, but race is not — repeat not — the common denominator! ■

Celebrating commonality through high school sports

Tailgates. Pep rallies. Friday night lights.

The new school year is here! And that’s exciting news for student athletes and high school sports fans alike.

Research shows that being a student athlete is about a lot more than fun and games. It teaches important life lessons, too.

In fact, high school athletes not only have higher grade point averages and fewer school absences than non-athletes, they also develop the kind of work habits and self-discipline skills that help them become more responsible and productive community members.

Attending high school sporting events teaches important life lessons, too.

Among them, it teaches that we can live in different communities, come from different backgrounds, faiths and cultures, cheer for different teams and still have a common bond.

That’s why attending the activities hosted by your high school this fall is so important.

It’s not only an opportunity to cheer for your

hometown team, it is also an opportunity to celebrate our commonality. And that’s something our country needs right now.

The bond we share is mutually supporting the teenagers in our respective communities. We applaud their persistence, tenacity, preparation and hard work, regardless of the color of the uniform they wear. We acknowledge that education-based high school sports are enhancing their lives, and ours, in ways that few other activities could. And we agree that, regardless of what side of the field we sit on, attending a high school sporting event is an uplifting, enriching, familyfriendly experience for all of us.

Many of the high schools in our state lie at the heart of the communities they serve. They not only are educating our next generation of leaders, they also are a place where we congregate, where people from every corner of town and all walks of life come together as one. And at no time is this unity more evident than during a high

Letters to the Editor

Hurricane Harvey was strengthened by climate change

To the Editor: The pictures and stories coming out of Houston tear at our hearts.

We may have family, friends or acquaintances who lost everything.

But what should also tear at our hearts are three up-front-anddistinctly-clear things: the severity of the storm was worsened by climate change; the severity of the destruction was worsened by land use decisions in Houston and the surrounding area; and the severity of the losses are being particularly borne, as always, by the poor.

Hurricane Harvey might have happened with or without climate change — but Harvey was made more ferocious by the more than 7 degrees warmer air over the Gulf that carried much more moisture than usual. It was flooding, more than the winds that destroyed.

Publisher’s note: It has not been the policy of this paper to concede this prominent editorial space, but with this important message from NYSPHSAA, we’ve made an exception. High school athletics, good sportsmanship and the added value they bring to the education process are to be enjoyed and prized by all — including those who participate as spectators. We applaud and endorse this commentary fully.

Harvey might have destroyed homes and businesses, but paving over hundreds of acres of farmland with impervious concrete, filling in wetlands and ignoring even weak regulations on building within the floodplain practically guaranteed that losses from a hurricane would be incredibly high.

Harvey did not distinguish between rich and poor, but folks in substandard housing or those who could not afford insurance will have a much harder time recovering.

We grieve with the victims and want to help. But in addition to empathy, humans have at least some degree of forethought.

While spending our tax dollars to help Houston rebuild, does it not make sense at the same time to summon our political will, our tax money and our common sense toward long-term climate action that can mitigate future destruction?

Musical tribute to spotlight life of North Country organist George Shnob will be honored at St. Peter’s Church this Sunday

PLATTSBURGH | A lifetime of service from retiring organist George Shnob will be brought into focus this Sunday.

Following an hour-long musical tribute, Shnob will be awarded the Senator Ronald Stafford Award for Public Service at a special ceremony in St. Peter’s Church on Sept. 10.

The ceremony will mark the fourth time the award has been given in recent memory, organizers say.

The award will be presented to Shnob in recognition of his long term service to the wider community in the field of music and care for others, according to a news release from St. Peter’s Church.

His passion for music, especially organ playing and singing, made him one of the most omnipresent and sought-after musicians in the area over the years, according the church news release.

Shnob served as an organist everywhere from

the Plattsburgh Air Force Base, Dannemora Correctional Facility to various weddings and funerals, church and community socials and dinners.

He was the founding director of the Sweet Adelines Chorus in 1968 and served as a member of the Barbershop Chorus and Barbershop Quartet.

He also served as the church choir director at St. Peter’s Church in Plattsburgh for many years.

Born in Mooers Forks, Shnob even made his mark internationally, according to a church news release, by directing the Madrigal Singing Chorus in Ormtown, Canada.

In 2009, the choir at St. Peter’s created the Student Assistance Endowment Fund at Clinton Community College in George’s name. The fund is used by students who face true financial emergencies to help them remain in school.

George has received numerous recognitions and awards from many area organizations, from the Senior Citizens Council of Clinton County to the New York State Assembly, Clinton Community College and more.

He is now residing at the Samuel F. Vilas Home. ■

Guestthe viewpoint From mayor

Online safeguards The feelings that we have when reading or hearing the news regarding cybercrimes and breaches can be

By Devi Momot overwhelming. Even • COLUMNIST • for cyber professionals like myself.

Scammers continue to increase their efforts by using one of the most powerful tools to perpetrate their schemes and malicious activities: the internet.

The internet has become a vital part of everyday life — and there are very few people that can function without it. So short of abstaining from it and erasing all your information, we need to figure out how to best protect ourselves.

Unfortunately, scammers easily identify victims and they may not be those of you reading this article. It is the responsibility of all of us to spread the word of how to protect and be vigilant in helping those around us defend themselves in the new world of cybercrime.

I became aware of a situation where a scammer promised free investment information to a trusting senior using email and phone calls.

The scammer gained access to the victim’s checking account. This scam ended up being a $10,000 hit to the senior’s savings.

Here are a few ideas you can do to make the crooks job harder: Passwords need to be complex.

Computers can use dictionaries to

determine your password and mine information from your social media and other public resources. One of my early passwords was: Grinch123.

This password can be cracked in less than five seconds by a basic computer.

Some better ideas: Use a pass phrase that is not obvious from your personal information. “ILOVETHEYANKEES” is not a great password, even though it is long. Look for something unknown to others but easy for you to remember. Perhaps you are in your kitchen right now reading the paper. Your kitchen walls are yellow.

A password might be, “yellownewspaper.” Now to turn that into a difficult password, “y3ll0wn3wspap3r,” by simply exchanging the letters for numbers. Make it one step harder by adding a special character, such as “y3ll0wn3wsp@p3r.” It’s also a good idea to never click on any links.

If a friend, store or bank sends you anything, don’t click. Log on to the service or contact the friend, but not by email, to verify they sent it.

Scammers are highly successful impersonators.

For more information, visit the Department of Homeland Security website at dhs.gov/stopthinkconnect.

In future articles, I’ll discuss other defensive measures you can take and will provide a break down on what ransomware really is, how it works and why it is costing so much. ■ — Devi Momot is a cybersecurity professional and CEO of Twinstate Technologies.

A revolution in commerce

By Colin Read • COLUMNIST •

You’ve heard about it, but few have been touched by it — yet.

Neither even existed before 2008. I’m referring to Bitcoin and its Brooklyn rival, Ethereum.

Last week I asked some students if they used checks. None of them do. Well, how about cash? Few had more than a few dollars in their pocket.

Credit cards perhaps? Sometimes.

Then, how do they pay for things?

If they’re out to eat, one might pay by credit card or Apple Pay, or some sort of electronic method, and the others will pay her by making transfers right on their smartphones.

Young people now Venmo each other. Remember Wimpy, who’d gladly pay Popeye Thursday for a hamburger today? Now, he’d Venmo.

This service, which has now become a verb, allows people to send cash to each others’ Facebook account, phone number, or email, with no transaction fee.

Young people can take an Uber cab for a night on the town, square up their restaurant and bar tabs with each other, and even rent a room from AirBnB with just a smartphone that is secured with their thumbprint or a retina scan.

This modern form of payment is more secure than carrying cash, doesn’t require trips to the ATM, and is more

convenient. Young people, already immersed in smartphone technology, find Venmo edgy and fun, secure and convenient.

These methods of payment are to be reckoned with.

Enter Ethereum. While it is only a couple of years old, it already facilitates billions of dollars of commerce annually, and is approaching Bitcoin.

Both are cloud equivalents of gold.

Since each is limited in supply, they hold their value, just as a dollar’s value is protected by “the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.”

Bitcoin computers, run by entrepreneurs — including some in Plattsburgh — generate the codes that keep these assets safe and unhackable.

Ethereum is most advanced in that no record, or “block,” can be hacked without corrupting the entire “chain” of transactions before it.

Ethereum also allows more elaborate contract provisions to be specified beyond the volume of “coin” exchanged.

This feature will someday revolutionize how we contract for a great number of secure transactions, from buying stock to airline tickets securely.

It’ll be interesting to see which financial institutions embrace such technologies, and which are left behind in the same way as electronic exchanges made stock exchanges obsolete.

I’ll be watching. ■

Quality distribution to every household is one of the foundation pillars The SUN uses to provide our customers with superior service. While costly, we know, and more importantly our customers know, that there is no better delivery method for their money saving fliers each week than The SUN. The combination of superior delivery, exceptional local news coverage and top notch customer service are just a few of the reasons why The SUN continues to add new customers each week and expand it service area.

Wise marketers and even national agency placement firms recognize the changing times and the limited market coverage provided by other media firms that insist on charge consumers to receive their products. Consumers demand and expect so much more today, that's why The SUN continues to meet those demands and continues to grow stronger each week.

The numbers clearly show you can not produce results for today's dominate retailers without a sound investment and watchful eye on the delivery and readership of your newspaper. In the North Country Region The SUN continues to offer a brighter newspaper alternative.

‘Women of Distinction’ ceremony to spotlight local women Annual awards will be presented Sept. 21

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York (GSNENY) later this month will shine a light on the lives of four local women.

Mary Skillan, Barbara Rice, Meg LeFevre and Anastasia Pratt have been named as this year’s Women of Distinction Award winners, and a ceremony in their honor is slated for Sept. 21.

The four award winners were each chosen for their strength of character, service to the community and dedication to learning and encouraging self-confidence and leadership.

LIFELONG IMPACT

Skillan, 63, will be this year’s recipient of the Lifelong Impact Award.

Best known for her seven-year tenure at the Newman Center on campus at SUNY Plattsburgh, Skillan serves as the director of campus ministry and coordinator of Christian formation for St. John the Baptist Church.

“I had absolutely no idea I was even nominated,” Skillan told The Sun. “I am honored and humbled.”

The best thing about her job?

Being a source of support for young college students.

“Just recently, I had a young woman reach out to me because she was in a precarious situation and was looking for support,” Skillan said.

“I guess just the fact that she trusted me enough to seek my help — and I’ve had other students come to me — knowing that they feel comfortable enough with me means a lot.”

And though she’s the Catholic campus minister, Skillan wants SUNY Plattsburgh students to know that she’s always there for them:

“I want the students to know that I’m here for them, and I want them to look at me as part of their support system — whether they’re Catholic or not.”

Skillan just recently hosted a spaghetti dinner at the Newman Center to welcome international students to the Plattsburgh campus.

“I think especially this year, it’s been very important with the climate in our country that they know they’re welcome and that they can be safe here,” she said.

Another event, the annual Welcome Back Brunch at the Newman Center, is slated for this Sunday.

TRAILBLAZER

Rice, who chairs the Franklin County Board of Legislators, will be honored with the Distinguished Trailblazer Award.

Rice became the first woman ever to chair the Franklin County Board of Legislators earlier this year.

Since being elected in 2013, Rice cites being named as chair as her greatest point of pride:

“I was really surprised at how much attention it got,” she said.

“We need to work at getting more women into politics. The last thing I would want is to be the last woman elected chair.”

Right now, Rice — alongside her fellow legislators — is working on securing state funding for broadband expansion in Franklin County.

“Franklin County did not receive any funding in the first round,” she said. “I believe we needed to be more proactive in terms of working with broadband providers.

“I believe we will have a few (providers) bid in this next round of funding.”

COMMUNITY LEADER

Clinton County Historian Anastasia Pratt will receive the Distinguished Community Leader Award.

Pratt, who also works as an assistant professor at SUNY Empire, says that a moment that has always stuck with her is a time when she was able to see one of her students succeed: “One of the proudest moments for me — well, one of my students won the Chancellor’s Award,” she said.

“What I take most pride in on a daily basis is being able to help people.”

Pratt is currently working on a project that aims to chronicle the stories of Clinton County veterans who served in World War II.

When she got the call that she would be recognized as a Woman of Distinction, Pratt was overwhelmed.

“It is such a huge honor,” she said. “I think I

was speechless for about a week after I’d heard.

“It’s overwhelming. I’m incredibly grateful.”

PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT

This year’s Distinguished Personal Achievement Award will go to Plattsburgh Town Councilor Meg LeFevre.

“It feels exciting, and a little bit intimidating,” she said, of receiving the award — noting that she was honored to be among the present and past award recipients.

LeFevre, first elected in 2014, has worn a lot of different hats over the years:

From serving on a myriad of subcommittees as town councilor, to working as an auditor and educator, to working on the Mike Derrick congressional campaign last year — Lefevre has served the community in a number of capacities for a years.

When asked what she was most proud of in her career thus far, Lefevre said:

“Being part of a progressive team at the town. We work efficiently and work together to move our town and our region forward.”

The 2017 Women of Distinction Awards ceremony is slated for Sept. 21 from 5:30-9 p.m. at the West Side Ballroom. The ceremony will double as a fundraiser for GSNENY.

Proceeds from the event will be used to offset program costs for local girls and provide direct financial assistance to girls in need throughout the North Country, according to the GSNENY website.

Sponsorships range from $65-1,500. For more information, or to purchase a sponsorship, visit gsneny.org. ■

» Budget Cont. from pg. 1

The ’Burgh Sun | September 9, 2017 • 13

with no prior discussion whatsoever.

Dowdle said.

Councilors Peter Ensel (Ward 4) and Joshua Kretser (Ward 6) could not be reached for comment before this edition went to print.

But the city will likely pay a higher per-parcel assessment fee than other municipalities, according to Read, rather than the current $13.50 per parcel for full assessment services.

“It’s my feeling that that action preempted the entire process of the Council’s work on the budget. I have no idea what is intended for next year.”

“Yes, I am very comfortable,” Kelly told The Sun.

One of the big differences in the budgeting process this year, he said, is that the council has collaborated with the mayor throughout.

“In previous years, there has been a sort of us vs. them mentality, with the mayor handing down a budget and the council trying to chop spending in a vacuum,” he said.

CONCERNS?

One concern, raised by Dowdle, revolves around the city’s assessment office.

This year, department heads, the mayor, city chamberlain and citizens alike have contributed to the budget process, he said.

As part of a new state initiative, Clinton County is spearheading a shared services panel to find efficiencies. If so, the state will match the savings.

“In general, I have no problem moving the timeline for budget approval up a few months,” said Councilor Becky Kasper (Ward 5) in an email.

Part of that panel’s plan, which will be voted on at a meeting on Sept. 15, is county takeover of the city’s assessment office.

“In this case, as far as I can see, substantial work on the budget was done several months ago when the mayor and three councilors decided to vote to abolish four departments

“The actual savings remain (at least with me) still vague,”

The county’s shared service plan, obtained through County Administrator Michael Zurlo, notes the city’s savings at $66,654.

The Common Council was expected to continue budget talks — and hear from Community Development Director Paul DeDominicas, whose department will absorb employees from the abolished Recreation Department next year — on Sept. 7, after this edition went to print.

The next Common Council meeting will be held at Plattburgh City Hall on Sept. 14 at 5 p.m. For more information, visit cityofplattsburgh.com.

The Clinton County Shared Services Panel will vote on a final shared services plan on Sept. 15. ■

» Applefest Cont. from pg. 1 This year, the event is slated for Sept. 16-17.

As usual, residents can expect the Applefest parade to kick off festivities on Saturday. The parade this year will begin at 11 a.m. and follow a path from Peru Elementary School to Pleasant and Main streets, before landing at the St. Augustine parish grounds.

At the parish grounds is where the bulk of the Applefest action will lie: On tap this year is live music from the Bootleg Band and the SUNY Plattsburgh Gospel Choir.

A craft fair will also be on site, alongside a variety of food vendors, games, new rides — including a ferris wheel — and two chainsaw carving shows.

A chicken barbecue is slated to round out the festivities on Sunday at noon.

Applefest remains the parish’s primary fundraiser, according to Ryan.

For more information about the upcoming festivities at this year’s Applefest, contact Ryan at 518-643-9386. ■ The 40th annual Applefest will return to Peru’s St. Augustine parish grounds on Sept. 16-17.

From the Sports Desk

Welcome back to high school sports, everyone!

The opening weekend of the fall sports calendar saw a lot of teams set the pace for their seasons in soccer and football, as Class D teams look to again be at the peak of competition in several areas.

In football, Moriah opened the new season at Linney Field with a 40-20 win over defending Class B champion Peru,

By Keith Lobdell while defending Class D • SPORTS EDITOR • champion Ticonderoga scored a 25-7 win over Beekmantown (BCS) in a game where the Sentinels held the Eagles scoreless into the fourth quarter.

It was a mixture of run-pass for the Vikings, as Connor Anderson rushed for 161 yards and two scores, while Dylan Trombley threw for 233 yards and a pair of scores. Ryley O’Connell was a bright spot for the Indians, throwing for 239 yards and three touchdowns while the Vikings held the Indians rushing attack to just 19 yards.

For the Sentinels, Evan Graney ran for 83 yards and two scores while Trevor Parent ran for 85 yards and a score while recording a fumble recovery for a score against Beekmantown. The Sentinels held the Eagles to 180 yards of offense, while themselves recording 200 yards in the rushing game alone.

Ticonderoga is the two-time defending CVAC champion, and Moriah has set itself apart with a strong win, which puts the Class D teams at the head of the class and makes Friday, Sept. 30, a must-see game when the Vikings travel to Ticonderoga.

AuSable Valley (AVCS) and Saranac made statements in Class C, as the Patriots relied on the legs of Matt Pray (259 yards, two touchdowns) to score a 38-30 win over Saranac Lake. Pray looks both faster and stronger this season, which coach Ed McCallister and Pray both said came from a strong off-season workout plan.

Jarrett Ashton had 232 yards and three scores for the Red Storm, which was not enough as AVCS controlled the game late.

For Saranac, it was Luke Maye throwing for 189 yards and two scores while rushing for 100 yards and another touchdown as the Chiefs scored a 28-14 win over Plattsburgh High School (PHS).

The Chiefs were able to contain PHS quarterback Mitch Senecal, who threw for 100 yards (36 coming on a late second quarter touchdown pass) with eight yards on the ground.

In soccer, the countdown to 100 career goals is on for Beekmantown sensation Kirsten Villemaire, who scored six goals in the Eagles’ two games in the Be The

Match Chazy girl’s soccer tournament to help power BCS to the championship at the event. Villemaire recorded a hat trick in each game, putting her at 82 career goals, 18 shy of the 100 mark for her career. The current record stands at 125, a mark set two seasons ago by Minerva/Newcomb standout Mackenzie Winslow.

Franklin Academy won the Saranac girl’s soccer tournament by defeating Northern Adirondack 1-0. The Lady Bobcats defense looks to be solid this season, anchored by goalie Paige Chilton and Emily Peryea. It should lead to a decent Division II game this Thursday against the Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport (EL/W) Lady Griffins, who scored an 7-0 win over Willsboro last week.

For boys, Northern Adirondack (NAC) and PHS won the Saranac and Chazy tournaments, respectively, The Bobcats scored a 4-1 over Saranac Lake in a Class C matchup as NAC moves up from Class D and Saranac Lake moves down from Class B. Both will have to contend with Seton Catholic, which scored a decisive win over Lake Placid and controlled the majority of their game against Northeastern Clinton (NCCS) before the Cougars scored a 2-1 overtime win in the NCCS tournament.

Meanwhile, the Hornets scored a late, 1-0 win thanks to a goal from Connor Cota in their Frankie Garrow Memorial Tournament win against host Chazy, in a game which felt more like a state championship then preseason matchup, which is proper when two state championship programs come together.

Also in boys, Keene and Willsboro played to a scoreless tie as both teams started the season 1-0-1 in the Keene tournament. Keene defeated EL/W, 3-0, in their first game, while Willsboro scored a 5-3 win over Schroon Lake.

This week, the regular season for Northern Soccer League teams begins, as does the cross country, volleyball and gymnastics. The football weekend offers Plattsburgh High (0-1) hosting Moriah (1-0) and Ticonderoga (1-0) hosting AuSable Valley (1-0) Friday night, while Saranac Lake (0-1) hosts Saranac (1-0) in a Class C matchup and Peru (0-1) hosts Beekmantown (0-1) in a Class B showdown Saturday.

Also, if you haven’t looked at our editorial page this week, please do so, as we have a great op-ed piece from the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. ■

PHS adds four to Hall of Fame Dinner set for Sept. 16

Plattsburgh State University, where he was slotted to be Coach Kris Doorey’s catcher of the future.

By Keith Lobdell

But during the start of his sophomore season, Mehan was diagnosed with germ cell cancer.

Over the next year and a half, Mehan confronted the disease head-on, beating it into remission once, but ultimately succumbing to the disease on March 2, 2008 — just 18 days prior to his 21st birthday.

SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Four legends from the history of Plattsburgh High School (PHS) athletics will take their place in the PHS Hall of Fame later this month.

The Plattsburgh High School Hall of Fame Committee will induct its newest members — Gordon Grass, Brian Mehan, Tom Maston and Alan Rowlson — at a Hall of Fame ceremony at the Elks Club on Sept. 16.

Since his passing, over $15,000 dollars has been given out in Mehan’s name in the form of scholarships and donations to local families who are in need of financial assistance while a loved one goes through medical treatment. Through the Brian Mehan Memorial Foundation, along with the annual Brian Mehan Be the Match game and Bone Marrow Drive, Mehan’s legacy continues to impact the Plattsburgh community.

A cash bar will be open at 5:30 p.m. with dinner at 6 p.m. for $30 per person and the induction ceremony to follow.

The newest members of the PHS Hall of Fame include:

TOM MASTON, 1989

BRIAN MEHAN, 2005 Mehan was a 2005 graduate who participated in four years of football, baseball and two years of indoor track.

Maston is a 1989 graduate and two-sport athlete for the Hornets.

Matson excelled in both basketball and baseball for the Hornets and was selected as PHS’ Outstanding Male Athlete of 1989.

While he was very gifted at track and field — a sport in which he qualified for the state championship in both his junior and senior season — and an exceptional football player, baseball was where he left his mark.

He was an instrumental part of the 1989 Baseball State Championship team and was selected as the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference’s Most Valuable Player following the 1989 season. He was awarded the Black Letter WE Co-MVP FIX for baseball that year.

He ended his career as a team captain and Black Letter Award winner. He was named a two-time CVAC All-star. In his senior year, the team finished as CVAC (11-5) and Section VII champions. He was also named “Most Outstanding Athlete” of the Class of 2005.

Matson currently lives in McKinney, Texas.

Matson is married to wife Kelly, herself a PHS graduate, and has two daughters, Quinn and Katie; and a son Jack.

ALAN ROWLSON, 1962

Rowlson graduated in 1962, having played football, basketball and baseball for the Hornets for years.

Rowlson also served in the USMC as an infantry platoon sergeant for three years — including a Mediterranean tour, a Guantanamo Bay (Cuba) tour and combat duty in Vietnam, where he was wounded in action three times.

He saw and knew many North Country athletes from neighboring high schools who participated in that theater of war.

Rowlson earned a B.S. in Mathematics from Plattsburgh State University while playing both football and baseball for the Cardinals.

He later earned his M.S. in School Administration from California State UniversityFullerton. He taught, coached, counseled and was an administrator in southern California inner-city high schools for 38 years, retiring as assistant principal at Lynwood WE FIX High in 2009.

He met his wife, Alice, while in college and they married in 1962. After graduation, Grass became an educator and coach for Orchard Park Central School for the next four years. After several career changes, he spent 29 years as a regional sales manager for an industrial manufacturing facility out of Switzerland, located in Massachusetts.

He has been enjoying retirement since 2006.

Grass and his wife now reside in Flowery Branch, Georgia. They have three children and six grandchildren ranging in age from 13 to 25.

God put in motion of his creation of me and you with Adam and Eve and he turned it then he created and now we are creating when men and women came together sexually. The gene of the man set off the egg and there is creation of a spirit then the creation of a human being.

The spirits are under the age of credibility in the woman and during a miscarriage or abortion the spirits are called up and God has a planet that their spirits go into and the mature spirits look over them in that planet.

I have heard of a lot of Christians standing on corners with people that support abortion and those who are supporting it financially. They need to read the New Testament on innocent blood.

I hear people called ISIS murdering people all over the world. But I believe in Revelations, they are the servants of the beast. His other personality is flowing pretty strong here in America getting people ready to take the make of the beast.

If you do not agree with what I am saying, send me $10-$20 in tracks where I can find other people that don’t agree.

Clinton County minigrants awarded Creating Healthy Schools and Communities grant to bolster public health

PLATTSBURGH | Six municipalities were recently awarded funding through the Clinton County Health Department’s Creating Healthy Schools and Communities grant.

This year’s recipients include the towns of Altona, Dannemora, Mooers, Moriah and Ticonderoga and the Village of Chateaugay.

Complete Streets is a program designed to make walking, biking, driving and playing

safer and easier for residents.

This year’s round of funding will support the purchase of surfacing materials, traffic calming materials, updated recreational equipment and benches.

“In such rural communities, a Complete Street looks different than it would in urban areas,” said Karissa Kilmer, CCHD public health educator. “There are often large distances between services such as grocery stores and recreation facilities making it difficult for people without access to transportation.”

The goal is to raise awareness and help our communities make it safe for residents to get out and be physically active, she said.

For more information, visit dot.ny.gov/ programs/completestreets. ■

According to a Native American website, turtles play positive roles in the folklore of many Native American tribes. In the creation myths of some East Coast tribes (such as the Iroquois and Lenape) the Great Spirit created their homeland by placing earth on the back of a giant turtle.

This is why some contemporary Native Americans refer to North America by the name “Turtle Island.” Turtles are a symbol of the earth in many different Native cultures.

CHAZY CENTRAL RURAL SCHOOL

“Get ready for an exciting year,” said Superintendent John Fairchild, prior to the Sept. 7 opening of classes. “The teachers will be using new technology that will widen the resources for instruction.”

Of the new technology, Fairchild said: “Before the school year begins, we hope to finish installation of new interactive televisions in most classrooms. These replace our aging Smart Boards and Mimeos.

“In addition, early in the school year we will be issuing Chromebooks for our students in fourth to seventh grade,” he said. “The Chromebooks will be used to supplement and modify instruction for these grade levels.”

Fairchild said along with new faculty and staff members, some members were also moving into new positions.

“Katie McCasland is switching from special education to sixth grade, while Amy Williams and Julie Withrow are new special education teachers,” he said. “Alexander Malsan is our new music teacher and chorus director; Kari Prescott is a new math teacher for grades 7-12; Tricia McCartney is our new part-time assistant principal; Christy Barcomb is a new teacher aide and Conor Trapeni is a new network and systems technician.”

NORTHERN ADIRONDACK CENTRAL SCHOOL

“We are excited to have all of our students back on campus,” said Superintendent Laura Marlow, as students reported back to Northern Adirondack Sept. 5. “The faculty and staff

have been working very hard over the summer to ensure that every student who walks through our doors is in a safe, secure and productive learning environment.”

New café tables have been purchased for the middle and high school, as well as the elementary buildings, as part of that summer improvement. A gazebo, donated by the local parent-teacher organization, was also installed near the elementary playground. Marlow said the school has made two new additions to the faculty and staff: Joshua Weiss, guidance office clerk, and Robin Garrow, math teacher at the middle/high school.

PLATTSBURGH | The air is a little cooler, the days are getting shorter, and a feeling of fall is in the air. That also means back to school time for the North Country’s school districts, as many opened their doors and freshly waxed floors to students, parents, faculty and staff following the long Labor Day weekend. Sun Community News sent out a questionnaire to local superintendents asking them about the upcoming school year and what parents and students can expect. Below are some of their answers:

PERU CENTRAL SCHOOL

“Peru Central School becomes a ‘school’ when students return, and we look forward to their return,” said Peru Interim Superintendent Cynthia Ford-Johnston.

“The 2017-18 school year promises to be a year filled with new challenges and learning,” she said.

The school has worked on its bus bay and lift over the summer while improving the soccer fields, along with general painting and renovations to the buildings.

“Many positions were filled at all levels,” Johnston said, about new staffing at the school. “A vacancy for a teacher of strings remains open.”

SARANAC CENTRAL SCHOOL

“Give your best effort on day one and set the tone for the rest of the year,” said Superintendent John Parks, as kids were welcomed back to school on Sept. 6. Parks said there was a lot of work done over the summer to improve the athletic complexes at the school.
