Champlain Centre undergoes major enhancements By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — Champlain Centre has launched a major project to upgrade the aesthetics and provide a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for guests. “It’s quite an extensive renovation,” said David Napolitan, general manager of Champlain Centre. “It was a decision made by our management team to continue to maintain a first-class facility to provide a relaxed and comfortable shop-
ping environment for our customers.” The project, which started earlier this month, will encompass both interior and exterior elements. On the interior, the mall will replace its 59,000 square feet of ceiling tile, add architectural features within ceiling openings and install new decorative lighting. The common area will receive a new paint scheme, acquire soft seating areas and new benches and updated columns with a new design.
For the exterior, the mall will be introducing a new paint scheme at all of its entrances, enhancing pylon signs and improving landscaping in numerous ways. The men’s restroom will be remodeled similar to the ladies restroom, which was remodeled last year. They hope to get the renovations completed by year end. If they’re not able to, Napolitan said, it will be completed in its entirety early next year. The mall will remain open during the renovation process.
“We’re hoping to not have too much construction going on between Black Friday and Christmas,” said Eva Sarachan, the mall’s marketing director. “We also hope that the renovations will bring a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for our customers.” Napolitan declined to discuss project costs, along with what the mall plans on doing with its open store space. Currently, Champlain Centre is anchored by Regal Cin- Champlain Centre launched a major project to provide a more emas, Target, Best Buy, Sears, comfortable and enjoyable experience for guests. >> Story Continued | pg. 12

Guardians of the Ribbon to host craft show WEST CHAZY — Do you care enough to wear pink? Guardians of the Ribbon - Northern New York State Chapter, also known as Pink Heals, will be hosting the fourth annual Craft Show will take place Sunday, Teah Dowling Oct. 4 at the Beekmantown Fire Station Writer from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Along with the Craft Show featuring jewelry, woodworking and other hand-crafted items, the non-profit organization will be putting on a yard sale and bottle drive to raise money for people, specifically women and children, in need. “We do support men, but for years, the women have been taking care of the men,” said Jim Garrant, chapter president of the Pink Heals. “Now, it’s time for us as men to step up and take care of the women.” Garrant said he would like to raise somewhere between $700 to $800, but any amount would help. The money raised from this event, specifically the yard sale and bottle drive, will go into a fund that’s used to help women, children and men suffering from any kind of cancer in financial need in New York State — mainly Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. Dressed in pink outfits, the guardians venture to homes, benefits and events in pink firetrucks and a pink police car to spread awareness about their organization and help locals in need — whether it be through money or by a simple visit to a >> Story Continued | pg. 5

SCHUYLER FALLS — The body of Robert Gallagher III, 29, was found in the Saranac River the night of Wednesday, Sept. 16. At approximately 4:30 p.m., an unidentified fisherman called State Police in Plattsburgh after spotting a body floating in the Saranac River near Oxbow Bridge in the Town of Schuyler Falls. State Police removed Gallagher’s body from the river with the assistance of New York State Environmental Conservation Police and Cadyville Fire Department personnel. Clinton County Coroner David Donah responded to the scene and authorized the removal of the body to the University of Vermont at Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital Morgue. Earlier this morning, an autopsy was performed at the University of Vermont at CVPH by Dr. Eric Gorman. The cause and manner of death are pending toxicology results.

City reveals next step of trail project By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh held a public information meeting Thursday, Sept. 17 for Phase II of the Saranac River Trail project, which is an extension of the trail. “The primary objective of the project is to extend the existing Saranac River Trail to both the Stafford Middle School as well as downtown Plattsburgh,” said Jeffrey Johns, project manager. In order to accomplish this, the Saranac Street Bridge needs to be replaced and a new Durkee Street Bridge needs to be built. Construction costs include Durkee Street Bridge at $855,000, Saranac Street Bridge at $950,000 and trail and roadway improvements at $440,000 — a total construction cost of $2,245,000. The City of Plattsburgh plans on starting construction in April 2016 and complete it by October. NEW CHANGES Phase I of the project consisted the construction of the Saranac River Trail, which goes from Angell Drive toward the end of the SUNY Plattsburgh campus over to Pine Street near the Saranac Street Bridge and the Max Moore Memorial Treehouse. Before the Saranac Street Bridge closed due to instability, it was initially car-friendly, but then it was solely used by pedestrians and bicyclists. With this new bridge, the Saranac River Trail will connect to downtown Plattsburgh and, from there, it will connect to
another bridge being put in at the end of Durkee Street. “We think it’s a great idea,” said Jesse Feiler, president of the Friends of the Saranac River Trail. “We want to make the trail more manageable for community members and people who are thinking about visiting here.” Along with the new bridge, there will be other changes to Durkee Street. On the south end, the two travel lanes will become shared use lanes. The turn lane will stay the same. On the north end, there will be two added bike lanes, eliminating street parking on that end. BIGGER PICTURE In 2003, the City of Plattsburgh began discussing on what to do with Durkee Street. Though the new offices placed on the corner of Durkee and Broad streets add something, they want to add more. So far, there’s been a lot of interest in doing something in the river, such as kayaking by building of fingers out into the river. The current parking lot would be turned into a gathering area, with the Farmer’s Market having its own designated area along the waterfront. The parking lot would be stacked, possibly with housing or a hotel on the top to add more living space to downtown. “We would like to get into a situation where you could really live in downtown Plattsburgh and walk every place you need to go,” Mayor James Calnon said. “It’s part of being an authentic downtown. “We’re really trying to get back to how life was when much of this downtown was built with a lot of services and a lot of pedestrian traffic.”
CCC seeks comments for accreditation PLATTSBURGH — The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) will host a public forum seek-
ing feedback about Clinton Community College’s two-year nursing program from 1 to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21 in Room 105M in the George Moore Building. The college’s associate degree program is undergoing a site review for continuing accreditation. During this review, accreditors wish to hear comments and suggestions from members of the public to help measure the program’s effectiveness. The goal of accreditation is to ensure that the education provided by CCC meets acceptable levels of quality as a premiere educational institution. The program was established in 1977 and is noted for providing highly respected nursing graduates to area hospitals and healthcare facilities. The program has been continuously accredited since its inception. Written comments also are welcome and should be submitted by Oct. 12 to Dr. Marsal Stoll, chief executive officer for the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing, email at mstoll@acenursing.org.

Morrisonville bridge opens, unites two towns By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
MORRISONVILLE — As flaggers waved traffic and drivers maneuvered through a temporary one-lane bridge, the towns of Plattsburgh and Schuyler Falls all gathered on opposite ends of the new bridge. With students from Morrisonville Elementary, adults and seniors on their town sides, they took the first steps on the new infrastructure, met in the middle and became part of the Morrisonville Bridge opening ceremony last Wednesday. Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Bernie Bassett described the opening ceremony, the two towns joining together on the center of the bridge, as “a tribute to the past while building a bridge to our future. “The old green bridge will be remembered by all of us for a long time, but we needed to build this new bridge and meet the needs of the future.” ITS BEGINNING The bridge, which was blessed with holy water from the Saranac River during the ceremony by Father Scott Seymour, was built as part of a $10.6 million project to reduce the likelihood of ice jams and flooding and improve safety since the bridge was the scene of several accidents over the years in-

volving vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. “The bridge is a vital part of the region’s transportation network, which provides access to communities and businesses along the Saranac River,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. “The new bridge will help ensure safer, more dependable and less flood prone commute for those who depend on it for years to come.” In late 2011, the decision came to replace the bridge by New York State due to erosion, which could’ve been forcefully closed by the state if it didn’t get replaced. Although the project isn’t fully complete yet, Director of the Department of Transportation, Region 7, Steven Kokkoris said, “opening the bridge is certainly a milestone.”
Bassett led a countdown from 10 — starting a parade of a Morrisonville Fire Department fire truck, a MorrisonvilleSchuyler Falls Volunteer Ambulance Service ambulance and a line of classic cars drove across the new bridge for the first time. Once off the bridge, construction workers moved the orange and white traffic barrels, drums and cones, which have stood in front of the new bridge for over a year, to the side and allowed pedestrian drivers, from both the Town of Plattsburgh and the Town of Schuyler Falls, to cross on the newly constructed bridge — a long awaited experience. “You’ll see some occasional delays and flaggers,” Luck said. “But the bridge is open for two-way traffic and it will be for the rest of its life.”
PERSONAL PROJECT The Luck Brothers, a local contracting firm, started construction of the bridge in spring 2014 — a task gracefully appreciated as mentioned by Bassett, Town of Schuyler Falls Supervisor Harold Ormsby and others during the ceremony. As Jeff Luck approached the stage with a smile on his face and a small speech in his hand, he shared that this bridge was a very personal project for his family. Luck’s father, uncle and grandfather started the Luck Brothers company around 1950 — very shortly after the original bridge was built in 1948. Luck himself grew up on Mason Street and shared his experiences of playing on the bridge as a kid and fishing on it almost everyday after school to the crowd gathered on the bridge. As Luck pointed out every family member he could associated with the company, he spoke on the construction process, including how he and his crew had to work through harsh winter climates and faced several technical difficulties. “It was perhaps the toughest job we’ve ever done in the history of our firm,” he said. “But we’re extremely proud of this project and we are extremely proud to be part of this community.” ENDING CEREMONY As a drone flew overhead and the crowd of over 100 people waved to the sky, Arthur Lefevre, Town of Plattsburgh supervisor from 1968 to 1995, went to the podium and led the crowd in a cheer of remembering this day “9/16.” After the cheer, Bassett dispersed the students to one side of the bridge and the guests to the other on the newly constructed bridge sidewalks.

Farm tractor accident claims life of Saranac man SARANAC — On Sept. 21, State Police responded to 710 Burnt Hill Road in the Town of Saranac for a reported agricultural accident. The investigation revealed 70-year-old Gerard Bassett of Saranac had been working on the rear of a farm tractor when the attached sickle bar mower dropped on top of him. Bassett was first discovered by a neighbor, who, with the help of two passing motorists, was able to free Bassett’s body from under the machine. State police were assisted at the scene by Emergency Medical Technicians from Saranac Rescue.
Clinton County Coroner David Donah responded to the scene and authorized the removal of Bassett’s body to the University of Vermont Health Care Network at Champlain Valley Physician’s Hospital morgue. On Sept. 22, an autopsy was performed by Dr. Laura Schned at CVPH. The cause and manner of death are pending. For more updates, visit www.suncommunitynews.com.

United Way kicks off new campaign By Teah Dowling
United Way Board of Directors. “I don’t think there’s anybody in this community that say they haven’t been touched by the work of the United Way in some way.”
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — As supporters and partners flooded into Butcher’s Block’s Adirondack Room for a buffet breakfast, the United Way of the Adirondack Region officially kicked off its campaign Friday, Sept. 18. Guests greeted and welcomed each other while enjoying the buffet filled with eggs, sausage, bacon and a variety of fruit. After plates were empty and cups were refilled with coffee, the festivities began with a campaign video made by Bruce Carlin of Carlin Media and Franklin County Legislature Chairman Billy Jones, who is also the chair of the campaign. “I believe we will have a successful campaign if we just tell the story of the United Way,” Jones said. “It really is a no-brainer when you think about on why people should give to this organization. “This right here changes lives and makes a difference.” PACESETTER RESULTS At the kick off campaign breakfast, United Way announced the pacesetter results, totalling of $167,262 - 23.1 percent of their overall $725,000 goal they hope to make by Feb. 11, 2016. Pledges consisted of several companies, organizations and individuals who completed their campaign before the kick off, including Nine Platt Hospitality Group, Champlain National Bank, Northern Insurance Agency, Chazy Central School, Murnane Building Contractors, NBT Bank, Northeast Group, Northern Adirondack Central School, Plattsburgh Ford, Target and Georgia Pacific, who presented the largest contribution of $25,000 during the breakfast. These funds, plus more throughout the course
Billy Jones, campaign chair of now until February, will go to the United Way of the Adirondack Region’s 42 partner agencies that served approximately 80,000 people in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties last year. “It’s amazing to me just how many people we serve,” said Victoria Marking, president of the
KEEPING VOW Michael Carpenter, president/CEO of The Northeast Group, shared two stories about why he believes in the United Way. Growing up, Carpenter looked at people less fortunate than him and wondered how and why they got there — looking at them as if they were below him. In the early 1990s, after a series of bad decisions, he wound up in Plattsburgh, specifically at JCEO where he received a bag of food from the food pantry. “I remember thinking at that point in time how dare I look down on people who get in this position,” he said. “I made a vow that I would never do that and if I got to a place in my life where I could help those people that I would.” He kept his promise. After becoming part of The Northeast Group, he made a decision to hire people other employers, such as released prisoners, poor people, people who struggle with addiction and more — some of which who are still workers of him today. “This is the richest region in North America not because there’s a cadillac in every driveway or gold and diamonds everywhere you look, but because of the quality of the people who inhabit the land,” said John Bernardi, executive director and CEO of United Way said. “The way we come together, support each other and collaborate is extraordinary.” To learn more about the United Way of the Adirondack Region or to contribute to this campaign, visit unitedwayadk.org.

PERU — State Police in Plattsburgh are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a missing Peru man. On Sept. 14, 29-year-old Daniel Gianatti was reported missing. Gianatti’s family has not seen or heard from him for approximately three weeks. Gianatti is approximately 6’2” tall and 175 pounds with
light brown hair and blue eyes. He is known to visit casinos and other gambling establishments frequently and not return home for long periods of time.
He drives a gold 2009 Subaru Forester with New York registration GUX4631. Anyone having information regarding Giantti’s location is encouraged to contact

special places and apply it to communities,” Engelhart said. With more than 1,200 members, AARCH is made up of people who not only care for the Adirondack architecture and history, but also the communities and quality of life, said the director. Engelhart has been involved with the organization for two decades. For him, it’s a labor of love. “One of my favorite things is this random phone call from somebody from somewhere, who needs help about something and that I don’t know anything about,” said Engelhart. From Clinton Correctional to Camp Santanoni, Engelhart is a walking Adirondack textbook. Under his leadership, AARCH has preserved hundreds of homes, bridges, camps and other places of
historical significance. In 2007, they won New York State Historic Preservation Award for outstanding commitment to recognizing and preserving the Adirondack region’s history and culture. Engelhart said his biggest accomplishment was the stopping the dismantling of Hadley Parabolic Bridge in Hadley, New York in 1999. Not only did they stop the dismantling of the bridge, but one year later, the county’s Board of Supervisors put up $350,000 for its restoration. The following year, the group received a sizable federal and state transportation enhancement grant to complete the project. “Can you imagine something from your childhood that you could ever thing of that as being historical?”

PLATTSBURGH — Steven Engelhart said “the hardest things to appreciate are things close in time,” showing that the things closest to us are never seen through time, but through years of learning. Engelhart is the executive director of AARCH, a nonprofit historic preservation organization whose mission is to help promote a better understanding and appreciation for the public of the Adirondacks architectural heritage. This year, they celebrate their 25th anniversary. Engelhart believes history isn’t just about textbooks or classrooms, but being surrounded by places that contain history. “What we done is to cultivate that same sense of stewardship, caring for the

Alzheimer’s Walk to Remember benefits local center By Teah Dowling
Plattsburgh since their mother goes to the Third Age Adult Daycare Center. Ellen’s Rebellion’s goal is to raise up to $10,000 compared to the $9,100 they made last year. So far, they’ve raised over $7,500 They hope to raise more through donations before and the day of the Alzheimer’s Walk. “Seeing so many caregivers come together is an amazing sight,” Cronk-Duquette said. “You may be walking with people you don’t know, but you know you’re going through something similar. “Dementia is a very hard disease to face, but it helps knowing you’re not alone, so if you’re one of those caregivers, or simply have a family member with dementia that you care about or you’ve already lost, come out to the event and know you’re not alone.”

PLATTSBURGH — Imagine driving home from a common destination and losing your way. Imagine working a dayto-day job and forgetting what to do. These things happened to Elaine Deon, a Cliff Haven resident who suffers from early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease. The memory loss began about seven years ago and she received her diagnosis a few years after that. Since then, she’s been going to the Third Age Adult Daycare Center five days a week and her family — husband John, two daughters Elizabeth Deon-Amato and two sons Thomas and J.T. — have supported the Alzheimer’s Walk to Remember. “Because we’ve lived through it, we feel very strongly about it,” John said. “We’ve been affected by it everyday.” The Deons will be this year’s spokes-family for the Alzheimer’s Walk to Remember taking place Sunday, Sept. 27 with registration at noon and the walk at 1:30 p.m. Though there’s no registration fee for the walk, single participants and teams will be walking in hopes to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Disease Assistance Center and the Third Age Adult Daycare Center of the Center for Neurobehavioral Health at SUNY Plattsburgh. Some teams, such as Papa’s Crew and Ellen’s Rebellion, started fundraising months before the event. PAPA’S CREW Brother and sister duo Debbie Frederick and Rob Hoffman started their team Papa’s Crew and the Run to Remember, originally known as the “Run to Remember Doug Hoffman,” in their father’s memory in 2010 after he passed away the previous year. The run started and is still put on as a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Walk. This year’s run, which took place last month, and the sibling duo raised $2,065 from the run and other donations.
The Deon family have been supporting the Alzheimer’s Walk to Remember for years after their family member, Elaine Deon, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease. Photo provided
“People should participate in the walk to show support for the caregivers that care for people with Alzheimer’s,” Frederick said. “Come and show support for the ones who work hard everyday to enhance the lives of those with Alzheimer’s.” They raised the money with the help of another team called Ellen’s Rebellion, who came on board in 2014 to help make it a bigger event and more about raising awareness of Alzheimer’s Disease. ELLEN’S REBELLION Ellen’s Rebellion formed after sisters Laura Cronk and Sarah Cronk-Duquette’s mother was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia in May 2011. Since that time, the sister duo have been raising money for the Alzheimer’s Disease Assistance Center located at SUNY
CVPH to hold panel on different programs PLATTSBURGH — Representatives from local behavioral health and substance abuse programs will provide an overview of their services at “Mental Health & Substance Abuse: Resources, Services and Access – It’s All Different Now.” The free program, part of the CVPH Community Lecture Series, takes place Wednesday, Oct. 14 at the West Side Ballroom located at 253 New York Road. Registration and displays by numerous agencies begin at 5:30 p.m. The presentations will start at 6 p.m. Guests will be able to learn more about the services available in this community for people with behavioral and/or substance abuse issues and their families.

Participating in the panel discussion will be representatives from The Alliance for Positive Health, Behavioral Health Services North, Inc., Champlain Valley Family Center, Clinton County Mental Health & Addiction Services, Conifer Park, ETC Housing Corporation, National Alliance on Mental Illness of Champlain Valley (NAMI-CV) and CVPH. These agencies will also be included in the exhibition. Other exhibitors include the Anti-Stigma Coalition of Clinton County, Clinton County Coalition to Prevent Suicide, Clinton County Health Department, Clinton County Office for the Aging, The Northern Adirondacks Medical Home and Adirondacks ACO. Sponsored by The Foundation of CVPH, this community lecture is hosted by the EXPLORE Psychiatry Committee. Register online at UVMHealth.org/CVPH or by calling the CVPH Marketing and Communications Department at 518562-7320.
CENTER IMPROVEMENTS Last summer, SUNY Plattsburgh received a $4 million appropriation from the New York State Senate to help expand community access to neurobehavioral services. This grant helps finance the Sibley Hall renovation project that started in August, creating a new Center for Neurobehavioral Health that costs about $8.5 million total. The changes will allow for an integration of the college’s Nexus Autism Spectrum Program, Traumatic Brain Injury Center, Alzheimer’s Disease Assistance Center, Third Age Adult Daycare Center, Neuropsychology Clinic and psychoeducational services. In addition to better integrating services, the move is designed to increase service capacity, provide for better public access, improve diagnostic and treatment programs, build a comprehensive and efficient service delivery system and allow for greater collaborative research. “The Third Age Adult Daycare Center gives my wife a place to go everyday and a chance to interact with people who are suffering with the same problems,” John said. “It gives her a place to have a normal day of life.”

Dear Donald: I must admit your recent success and rise in the polls for the presidency has surprised me. I cringe at the unconventional things you say, your braggadocios style and the insults you throw about, but it’s hard to argue with your success both in business and now in politics. You have proven you are a man who gets things done. I know it’s very early, but it’s hard to see how any of the other candidates are going to get a leg up on you unless something comes completely out of left field. Something like President Obama producing a birth certificate proving you are not really an American citizen. Short of that, you seem to have struck a cord with the Republican base that is looking for something different. Like Ronald Reagan, your success comes from surrounding yourself with very successful people and delegating responsibility to those with a passion for producing results in their field of expertise. Your next, best, unconventional move will be to name your running mate and cabinet officials right now. Make it clear to the American public, the Republicans are serious about turning the country around from the precipice we find ourselves. VP goes to Rick Perry, since he was wise enough to be the first to drop out of this over crowded field. Rounding out the team in no particular order; Secretary of State; Carly Fiorina, Secretary of Defense; Marco Rubio, Secretary of Energy; Jeb Bush, Secretary of Labor; Scott Walker, Attorney General; Chris Christy, Secretary of Veteran’s Affairs; Lindsey Graham, Treasury Secretary; John Kasich, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; Ben Carson, Secretary of Agricultural; George Pataki, Secretary of Commerce; Bobby Jhindal, Secretary of Education; Mike Huckabee, Secretary of Health & Human Services; Rick Santorum, Home Land Security; Ted Cruz, and last but not least Rand Paul as Surgeon General. You are famous for building outlandish things. Here’s your chance to build a real A-Team for America. Save all the money wasted on campaigning and political advertising and start planning for a return to greatness today. God help you, and God help us, you’ve tapped into something. We all sure hope it’s not just Hot Air. Dan Alexander is president and CEO of Sun Community News.

Local governments can improve transparency with online tools
I
n June, the town of Moriah began making recent videos of board meetings accessible via YouTube, an online video sharing site. The decision was a laudable step in improving government transparency. Residents with concerns, or simply those curious about town business, can access the videos with the aid of a basic Internet connection. Town officials say the YouTube channel keeps with a tradition of transparency started in the 1990s, when Moriah beg a n recording meetings for broadcast on TV Channel 17. Like it has changed many other facets of life, technology has expanded our options for consuming media. It seems like a logical step for local governments to share their meetings online, but not all have been quick to embrace it. Elected officials in Moriah apparently recognize it can improve people’s ability to follow discussions about town ordinances, department briefings and a lot of other topics. Board member Luci Carpenter, who has overseen the process of uploading and organizing the proceedings, deserves special credit for the town’s effort. Many communities also record their proceedings to play on Channel 17. Others, including the town of Ticonderoga, have been airing meetings on YouTube for more than a year. Moriah and Ticonderoga have also set fine examples of transparency recently by effectively posting minutes of their board meetings. They are located in a clear and identifiable spot on their respective websites. Like YouTube, uploading minutes is a low cost and easy way to improve public trust in government. Both tasks can easily be done within a matter of days. Sometimes -- like earlier this month when Ticonderoga town board members abandoned plans for a police station project after public outcry -- it might run contrary to the short-term interests of some elected officials to let the public have such access to video and documents. Although it may cause some additional headaches and work for government officials in the short term, it’s hard to not see how making it standard practice to post minutes and video could do anything but improve the overall quality of government in the long term. The best politicians, we believe, recognize the value in putting more sunlight on their work. In making the investment of a few thousand dollars for recording equipment and prioritizing staff time to get video and minutes posted online, towns can demonstrate their commitment to transparency in the 21st century. The staff time spent producing and uploading minutes is a good use of resources -- we’re advocating for thorough, not exhaustive notes to be kept. If smaller towns are having difficulty financing this work, then officials
should seek partnerships that could finance it. While there’s no law requiring local governments to make their meeting minutes available online, there’s also no law preventing them from doing it. Robert Freeman, executive director of the New York State Committee on Open Government, encourages governments to “do the right thing” in favor of improving the public’s awareness of government activity. In today’s high-paced world, people increasingly count on being able to access reliable information online, Freeman said. “There are so many instances in which the law might not require taking a certain course of action, but taking that course of action is the right thing,” he said. Again, we commend towns in using YouTube -- but we expect nothing less. As New York State’s open meetings law clearly articulates, timely access to the work of public bodies is paramount to our sense of self government. “It is the only climate under which the commonweal will prosper and enable the governmental process to operate for the benefit of those who created it,” the law states.

COMMENTARY
History of the river
Family expresses gratitude
To the Editor: I enjoyed your column on dams and freeing rivers to reach the sea for spawning runs. I live on the Schroon River in Warren County and have a hydro dam nearby. My concern isn’t so much the spawning runs as it is respect for the river and its fishery. Back around the time of Hurricane Katrina, the dam under went needed a lengthy repair to restore and recondition its footings. The water level was dropped dramatically, as this section is artificially elevated by the hydrodam. (I consider this a good thing.) However, this went on for three years. This dramatic reduction of the water level forced the fish into the remaining deeper pools. These fish included rainbows, browns, bass and some seriously large northern pike. The river had a well established trout fishery enjoyed by fly fisherman and others. When the water level was raised, the trout and trout fishermen were gone� Not all bad, the northerns had eaten well and put on weight. This was a predictable occurrence and all with any authority were made aware early on of my concern for the fishery as well as wildlife ducks, turtles, etc. My response was an invariable, “Yes, it’s Illegal BUT HE’S a NICE GUY.” This response was from the federal regulatory commission, Assemblywoman Betty Little; the Warren County Sportsman Alliance to the New York Fisheries and wildlife biologists and the 50 Wolf Road DEC Office. They did suggest call Trout Unlimited. I called. The Adirondack Trout unlimited doesn’t represent any part of the Adirondacks. Surprise� NO ONE Cared� Well, the trout fishing never improved. The trout never returned and the fisher people never returned. Why wasn’t restocking the river included in the NICE GUYS’ cost of doing business? How many times when committing a flagrant and admitted wildlife violation can you get away with it BECAUSE you’re a nice guy? I have seen the stocking truck in the area near me and watched as some trout were put in: But not the healthy 17 inch rainbows I used to catch. I have had people fish behind my house for over well over a decade. Caught zero trout. The public fishing bench remains vacant. But I did catch my first maybe 10 inch rainbow a recently stocked 10 incher. NICE JOB THANKS.
To the Editor: The Lopez family wishes to express sincere gratitude for the heartfelt condolences and support offered regarding the loss of our dear mother and friend, Marjorie. May she rest in peace with her husband, Robert, and children James and Kris.

Police take swift action To the Editor: On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum, I would like to thank the Ticonderoga Police Department for their swift apprehension of the three youths who vandalized the Town restrooms in the 1888 Building this summer. Clean, safe restrooms are not only necessary for the thousands of people who enjoy the Bicentennial Park every year, they are essential to the Heritage Museum’s mission of acting as a Visitors’ Center for the community. The actions of the Police Department, along with the help of the Town Clerk’s Office, send a strong message that vandalism will not be tolerated in Ticonderoga.

A Government Shutdown Must Be Avoided
“The North Country knows all too well the devastating effects that a government shutdown would have on our economy and our security,” writes Rep. Stefanik
T
he deadline on a funding bill is approaching soon. However, Congress and the President have yet to agree on a funding approach to keep the government from shutting down on Sept. 30. As many readers know, I ran for office against harmful government shut downs. I have voted accordingly during my time in Congress, voting against Members of my own party when the Department of Homeland Security was on the verge of shutting down. The reasons for my position are simple: Before I took office, the sixteen-day government shutdown in 2013 cost our economy an estimated $24 billion and stalled the creation of over 100,000 private sector jobs. It also imposed unacceptable delays in life-saving National Institutes of Health research studies and payment of veterans’ disability claims, cost over $500 million in lost revenue at our national parks and shut thousands of children out of Head Start programs. In short, the 2013 shutdown not only hurt Americans with the loss of important government services — it actually cost taxpayers more to close down the federal government than to keep it open. For these reasons, I cosponsored legislation to prevent Congress from breaking for August recess until the House of Representatives had reached an agreement on measures to keep our government fully funded. Had our resolution— H.Res.17, the “Stay on Schedule” Resolution— been adopted, Congress would have stayed in session this summer until our business was taken care of and we would have avoided unnecessary, last minute brinksmanship. The North Country knows all too well the devastating effects that a government shutdown would have on our economy and our security. Our district is home to thousands of government employees, including border patrol agents who help keep our communities safe while promoting important commerce with our Canadian neighbors. In addition, we are the proud home of Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division, and in a time of increased deployment schedules and mounting international turmoil, it would be unconscionable for us to ask these brave men and women to serve in harm’s way without the promise of a paycheck. Please be assured, I will continue to oppose any government shutdown theatrics in Congress, and am leading an effort among my freshmen colleagues to urge our Republican conference to oppose a government shutdown. Like many others, I understand that there are serious issues that still need to be addressed; however, shutting down the government is an appalling strategy that does not in any way benefit our nation. I believe Congress should complete its work and provide funding for the federal government through the end of the next fiscal year. I will continue to vote in support of measures to keep our government open and will continue to urge my colleagues to do the same. North Country families — and families across this country — expect Congress to fulfill our responsibilities, avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, and live up to our commitment to work every day to help keep the American economy moving forward.
t snuck in like a thief in the night. It’s called autumn. No, you shouldn’t capitalize it unless it occurs at the beginning of a sentence. Jack Frost made an appearance a couple days earlier than the official time of 4:21 a.m. on September 23. As we were enjoying some of the best late summer weather in recent memory, the area meteorologists were tossing about what for some is a dirty word—frost. Last Sunday, after the cold front came through, official forecasts were telling us to expect it in parts of Franklin County as well as some locations in Vermont. I have friends who enjoy my social site description of our Saranac river bank weather each morning around 5 a.m. As I wrote this on Monday, September 21, the thermometer bottomed out at 42.7 degrees Fahrenheit. This Chicken Little opted to keep his steaming hot cup of coffee in the kitchen. Inside, it was 69 degrees, but I held fast and refused to crank up the thermostat. Let the sun take care of it for a few more days. Whether you marked it at your house or not, Wednesday morning saw the second equinox of the year. This one is defined as the time when it appears that the sun goes across the celestial equator from the north to the south. In our neck of the woods, it signals some below freezing temperatures at night and below 70 degrees during the day. Technically, equinox means “equal night and day.” Few can forget last winter with its bitter cold and snow. What does the coming winter portend? You pays your money and takes your choice. You can look at the wooly caterpillars. You can consult your Almanac and listen to the “expert” weather persons; or you can lick your finger and stick it in the wind. I’ve checked all of them. Here’s my totally unprofessional prediction: above average temperatures in October; same thing in November and December; about average or a little above usual in December, January and February. That’s probably wishful thinking. Some are saying we’ll have another cold winter with fairly typical snowfall. After last year’s winter, that would be welcome. I would be pleased to have less snow to challenge my snow blower and less bitter cold to challenge my furnace. But, I still have long underwear and heavy winter parkas, so I’ll be ready to face whatever comes along. I think it was Longfellow who told us to “wear the fur side, inside.” Good idea.

Hawkins Pond dedicated Sept. 19 PLATTSBURGH — The newly renovated Hawkins Pond on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus was officially dedicated during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday, Sept. 19 under bright, sunny skies and gracefully circling doves. The ceremony began just after 1:30 p.m. with SUNY Plattsburgh President John Ettling welcoming the more than 75 guests, some of whom were on campus for Family Weekend. Ettling thanked the many contractors, designers, faculty and staff involved in the project, which at first was not going to include the aesthetics but just the below-ground repairs. He then introduced guest speakers that included City of Plattsburgh Mayor James Calnon, who thanked the college for “bringing the pond back” to the people of the region and state Assemblywoman Janet Duprey, who spoke fondly of her memories at the Hawkins Hall pond. The pond and surrounding area had been offline for more than a year while work crews completely replaced the pond bedding and lining and installed rocks from the Champlain Valley along the shoreline to create natural seating. The pond was then embellished with a waterfall, which formulated into three
ponds — two cascading into one that then flows into the main body of water. The pond has a new pump and filtration system, making it easier to perform maintenance and cleaning without necessarily having to drain the water, according to Rick Larche, capital project manager who was on hand at Saturday’s ceremony. Dr. David Franzi, SUNY distinguished teaching professor in the Center for Earth and Environmental Science, discussed the history and thought behind the landscaping and use and placement of the rocks and boulders, and he explained the new outdoor learning lab area of the pond that will be used by environmental science majors — a wetland area that students will use to identify plants and flora indigenous to the Champlain Valley. New seating areas surround the grounds and memorial benches that had previously been located at the pond in prior to its renovation were returned with new memorial plates attached. As Ettling cut the ribbon to officially reopen the pond and its environs, several white doves were released into the air, circled overhead several times and returned to their perch.

Cornell start-up business has local ties New drinkable meal biz MacroFuel has Plattsburgh roots
Kickstarter project, said she drew upon her experiences during the campaign to execute this project. Both are similar in that they require building support ahead of time. “The similarities are really strong,” said Rietsema, citing skills like the ability to organize and gather commitments. For now, the team of eight has their sights set on developing and refining a single product, explained Rietsema. As a small company, MacroFuel doesn’t yet have the capacity to create multiple runs with different flavors. “Right now, our focus is on drinkability,” said Rietsema. The young businessman sees the market as vast. While the ideal customer is an active young professional clocking more than 40 hours per week, anyone can find value in the product, hopes Rietsema, from campers to foodies with a taste for the experimental. The reception so far has been positive, said Rietsema, adding that it’s “definitely” a bipartisan drink. The crowdsourced funds, raised by more than 300 backers, will set the stage for their first production run at a professional facility (“It’s not like this product is being made in dorm rooms,” joked Rietsema). The first run will be shipped out to the project’s earliest supporters. It will be followed by a largerscale beta test that will allow the team to get feedback and make adjustments before selling to the general public. Rietsema sees this phase taking about six months. After that, they can look toward new flavors and varieties. What’s the ultimate goal? Nationwide availability and one-day shipping internationally. “There’s a lot of possibilities moving forward.”

PLATTSBURGH — A Kickstarter project launched by a college student with ties to the region has rocketed past its goal. The North Country is a huge, expansive place. As Augustine Rietsema transversed the region last year as the deputy finance manager for Aaron Woolf ’s congressional campaign, the Plattsburgh native found that his diet was taking a hit. Cooking ahead of time was an option. But it wasn’t always possible, particularly during a hard-fought political campaign. “There’s gotta be a different way to get my nutrition than cooking for three hours on a Saturday night,” mused Rietsema, who now attends Cornell University in Ithaca. A Google search of “drinkable foods” led to a solution… sort of. While chugging liquid grub beat the alternative, Rietsema found that existing products tasted awful and didn’t mix well. Later that fall, by the time he was helping former Rep. Bill Owens transition out of office, Rietsema was spending $90 per week on the drinks. When he got to Cornell, Rietsema, now 22, learned that friends encountered similar problems while on the road. A pal put him in touch with a food scientist, Charles Lee,
A campaign to generate start-up funds for a drinkable food business has surpassed its goal. MacroFuel, a business started by Plattsburgh native Augustine Rietsema, aims to provide nutritionally complete, drinkable meals that taste good. Rietsema is pictured above with MacroFuel Chief Information Officer Alex Meyers.
who examined the drink and said the ingredients were inefficient. The scientist tinkered away in his lab and came up with an alternative that used less ingredients, mixed well, and most importantly, tasted better — a roasted grain-type taste akin to the milk left over in a bowl of cereal. “That’s when we said, ‘We should go with this,’” recalled Rietsema, who graduated from Plattsburgh High in 2011. That was the beginning for MacroFuel. The crowdfunding campaign to generate start-up costs that ended on Tuesday ultimately raised just short of $21,000 in 30 days, more than 25 percent over the team’s goal.

Alice T. Miner Museum announces Adk 102 Club CHAZY — Join author and historian Marty Podskoch for a talk about his latest project, the Adirondack 102 Club, that encourages people to visit all 102 towns and villages in the Adirondacks Saturday, Oct. 10 at 1 p.m. The idea for the 102 Club began after Podskoch read about Dr. Arthur Peach of Vermont who, in 1954, suggested the idea of an informal group, the Vermont 251 Club, to veer off the beaten path and “discover the secret and lovely places that main roads do not reveal.” Podskoch believed the Adirondacks would benefit from a similar club. Podskoch worked with residents to describe their towns’ and villages’ location, history and important points of interest, feeling that the perspective of locals would provide unique insights into the locations featured in the book.
He has also traveled extensively in the Adirondacks, visiting all 102 towns and villages and gathering material for his five books on Adirondack fire towers, the Civilian Conservation Corps camps and Adirondack lore and will share the joys of fully experiencing the Adirondacks and getting to know its people and places. Podskoch has authored six other books: “Fire Towers of the Catskills: Their History and Lore,” two volumes of the Adirondack Fire Towers and Adirondack stories ( “Historical Sketches” and “Adirondack Stories II: 101 More Historical Sketches”). He was awarded the Arthur E. Newkirk ADK Mountain Club Education Award in 2013 for achievement in chronicling the social history and lore of the Catskills and Adirondack fire towers and of the Adirondack Civilian Conservation Corps camps.
