By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — What started as a conversation between co-workers has turned into an effort to connect soldiers overseas with their friends and family back home. Earlier this school year, Janet McFetridge, a teacher with the Northeastern Clinton Central School District, was speaking with Barb Bushey, a job coach with the school district, about Bushey’s son, Kyle, who is currently serving in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan. It was through that conversation that McFetridge learned of how much soldier ’s like Bushey’s son look forward to contact from back home and how they need things that many take for granted such as hygiene products and reading materials. That was how “Supplies for Soldiers,” an initiative to send donated items to soldiers overseas, was born. “Barb and her son really were an inspiration for this whole project,” said McFetridge. “Barb explained to me how [soldiers] don’t have access to everyday things we would assume they’d have and she told me how she and her husband have been sending Kyle boxes of supplies every month with things like sanitary wipes.” It wasn’t long before McFetridge consulted with district officials to see if she could start a supply drive to collect items for Bushey’s son and the unit he serves with, she said. “It’s really taken off here at the school and in the community,” said McFetridge. Donations began pouring in, enough

so to fill three boxes which were mailed to Bushey’s son and his fellow soldiers last week. “It’s been great, also because it’s also something we’ve used as a real teaching moment,” said McFetridge. “We’ve been able to bring awareness about the conditions they’re going through over there.” The response has also meant a lot to Bushey, who is awaiting word from her son that he has received the packages. “I’m so touched by all this,” she said. “When I heard they were doing this, I was just about in tears, especially seeing all the items people have brought in. It’s truly amazing.” Journalism teacher Jessica Ellithorpe has taken the project a step further by having her students write to the soldiers overseas, giving them a sense that people back home are keeping them in their thoughts. The interaction is something Ellithorpe looks forward to, she added.
“I think this is great because often teenagers are given a bad rap, but the truth is so many of them do care about things like this,” said Ellithorpe. “The great thing about [Supplies for Soldiers] is it gives them something to think about bigger than themselves.” The process will also involve Ellithorpe’s students asking the soldiers to explain the conditions they’re living in, she said. “It’s giving [the students] more of a perspective of the human side of war,” said Ellithorpe. That interaction and the continued support of Supplies for Soldiers is something McFetridge was hoping to see through the project, she said. “It’s rewarding to realize that people really do care and they do want to make life a little bit easier for people who are donating their time for our country,” said McFetridge.

‘Christmas in Rouses Point’ bringing events together
jeremiah@denpubs.com ROUSES POINT — If you’ve ever heard there’s nothing to do in the village of Rouses Point, Geri Favreau wants you to know that’s definitely not the case — especially during the holidays. Favreau is among those behind “Christmas in Rouses Point,” an effort to gather a complete listing of events happening from a stop in the village by the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train next Friday, Nov. 25, through events planned into the new year. “I’ve seen other communities promote all their holiday stuff as one thing,” said Favreau, referring to communities like Au Sable Forks. “So, some of us got together and thought it would be good to do the same thing instead of everybody doing their own thing to promote them.”
The idea is simple, said Favreau. Christmas in Rouses Point will basically take all the events and put them into a comprehensive listing that can be sent to various media outlets and announced on the village website, www.rousespointny.com. “We didn’t really come up with anything new, except for a house decorating contest,” said Favreau. The decorating contest will involve people showing off their holiday spirit by decking their halls in holiday style, she said. “We’re still working on the details, but it would be something where people would get prizes like gift certificates,” said Favreau. “Other communities have done it and I think it really inspires people do to something to make the village look more festive.” Donna Boumil, director of Dodge Memorial Library, which hosts several activities during the holidays, said she likes the idea of marketing events
like hers under the Christmas in Rouses Point umbrella. “I think it’s great,” said Boumil. “We always have so many different activities going on during the holidays, especially during Christmas break like holiday craft projects, story times, and a movie matinee.” The list of Christmastime events is something both Boumil and Favreau agree shows there is a lot going on in the little village on the lake. “We really do have a lot going on here, sometimes people just have to take a closer look,” said Boumil. “Many of the activities are even free and within walking distance.” “There’s really something for everybody here, from kids to adults,” added Favreau. (Editor’s Note: The North Countryman will run a list of the “Christmas in Rouses Point” events in our Calendar of Events section, found this week on page 15.)
Local Powerball winner nets $40k ROUSES POINT — The New York Lottery has announced the name of a Powerball player who won $40,000 in the drawing held Nov. 2. The winner, Richard Rushford, Champlain, purchased the winning ticket at the Cornerstone Drug and Gift, 72 Champlain St. The New York Lottery continues to be North America’s largest and most profitable Lottery, contributing over $3 billion in fiscal year 2010-2011 to help support education in New York State. The Lottery’s aid represents over 15 percent of total state education funding to local school districts. Lottery revenue is distributed to local school districts by the same statutory formula used to distribute other state aid to education. It takes into account both a school district’s size and its income level; larger, lower-income school districts receive proportionately larger shares of Lottery school funding.
The village of Rouses Point will host several events throughout the holiday season, featuring holiday craft projects, Christmas parties and caroling events, like ones seen here by local elementary students done in past years. File photo by Jeremiah S. Papineau

DANNEMORA— The Saranac Central School District is asking voters to approve a capital improvement plan that district officials say will have no impact on the tax levy. The project is aimed at making severely needed safety and heating system upgrades as well as making the district’s buildings more energy efficient, according to school officials. The upgrades will be funded through a $583,878 EXCEL grant — money made available to all public school districts in New York state to be used for energy, health, and safety improvements — combined with state building aid. Superintendent Kenneth O. Cringle said upgrading the systems is a growing concern. System failures, such as the Saranac Elementary boiler last year and the Saranac Middle/High School generator failure in October, show the longer the district waits to upgrade the more money it is costing the district. Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds James Giroux said the outdated systems have put a strain on his annual budget and because of the age of the systems he is sometimes unable to find replacement parts for the equipment. “I strive to create a quality learning environment, we are here to serve the students and we strive to do that but sometimes it feels like we physically can't control the space because the machinery is so old,” Giroux said. District voters rejected a $17.5 million capital improvement plan in February 2010 that would have cost taxpayers about $100,000 annually for 15 years. The original plan included a 3,000-square-foot addition to the elementary school as well as technology upgrades. “One of the reasons that we brought up the original referendum, is we do have some aging systems that we need,” Cringle said. “In consideration for the economy we are recommending only energy and safety items, no other

items. The other project involved technology, even though we could use an upgrade we are holding off until the economy turns around.” The project includes improvements at all school district buildings including Saranac Middle/High School; Saranac Elementary School; Morrisonville Elementary School; the bus garage; maintenance facility, and district-wide improvements to replace outdated telephone systems. Installing handicapped-accessible push button doors at all facilities is another part of the project. The three campuses will also get new energy-efficient windows and door replacements, will have fire alarm devices replaced and updated system programming installed. Major project renovations call for a heating system replacement for the elementary school, water filtration and domestic pipe replacement at the middle/high school, and roof reconstruction at the bus garage. Public informational meetings on the plan have been scheduled prior to a
vote scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 13. The first was held Nov. 15; the second will be held Tuesday, Dec. 6, at Saranac Middle School. The informational meetings will feature a presentation by SEI Design, an architectural, planning and consulting firm. Cringle said private presentations can be arranged for any resident who is unable to make either meetings. The school board is also inviting all members of the community to tour the school facilities before the day of the vote. Cringle said he hopes that by showing the community the needs of the school district with informational pamphlets mailed out to residents, holding informative meetings and bringing the community in to see the facilities, the community will see how important the system upgrades are. “I hope the community will see this is a much needed project because of its limited scope on energy, health and safety items,” he said. The Dec. 13 vote will be held from noon until 8 p.m. at Saranac Middle School.

North Countryman Editorial
We need vigilance here as well
Crown Point residents: I It’s time to mend fences I
n a Nov. 5 editorial we urged people to get out and vote, saying change in government only occurs when people mobilize over a cause and vote with the majority. Holding an elected position is not an inalienable right, and anyone who decides to run for office must keep in mind they are at the mercy of the will of the people. Go against that, and you’re subject to be removed from the job. Nowhere was that more evident this election year than in Crown Point, where voters sent a clear message that they didn’t like the way the board went about eliminating its board of assessors in favor of a sole, appointed assessor. The town board voted in favor of the move in July, in front of a room packed with emotionally charged residents, many of whom pleaded for a town-wide vote on the subject. Instead, Supervisor Bethany Kosmider joined with trustees Yvonne DuShane and Bob Patnode and adopted the move by a 3-2 vote. Trustees Charles Mazurowski and Tom Walters opposed it. Under state law, the vote is irreversible. After the vote, Crown Point assessor Stephen Mackay, shouted “They are going down,” referring to Kosmider, Patnode and DuShane. Soon after, Carl Ross, chairman of the board of assessors, said, “These people are not going to be re-elected.” And, on Election Day, that’s precisely what happened to incumbents Kosmider and Dushane, who were each soundly defeated. Patnode’s term wasn’t up this election cycle, thus his fate rests in the next go-round. Obviously feeling empowered and wanting change, Crown Point voters turned out in droves, casting 824 ballots from a total 1,305 registered voters — one of the highest turn outs in the county. When the dust settled, the people had spoken — supporters of the assessors hit the polls and swayed the vote. Republican Charles Harrington will be sworn in as the
next Crown Point supervisor Jan. 1 and Tara Peters will take her seat on the board alongside Mazurowski, Walters and Patnode. And, while it is too late to reverse the assessor vote, it appears the group will hold a voting majority on the board. Now it is time to move on — because the town needs it. From verbal to physical assaults to spreading rumors to reports of running one another off the road and even gunfire, this issue has divided the otherwise tranquil lakeside community in a near Hatfield vs. Mccoy feud. But this isn’t West Virginia, and the year isn’t 1878. This squabble has disrupted town business, it has pitted friends and neighbors against one another. It has wasted town and personal resources that could have been better spent on making the community stronger. Further, it has put the town — with all it has to offer — in a negative light to tourists, passersby and those who also might someday call Crown Point home. That furthers the agenda of no one. In a letter to this newspaper, Crown Point resident Kathy Caswell probably said it best when she said the taunts and signs degrade all Crown Point residents and “make us look ignorant to those who are passing through.” Caswell urged her fellow Crown Pointers to follow the lead set by the sign at The Frenchman’s Restaurant which reads “Treat our neighbors with respect.” The people have spoken, the electoral process has worked. Now it is time to again treat one another with respect.

Thinking Hospice during November Our lives are individual journeys. As our journeys approach the last stages, many people focus on thoughts of loss and separation. It might help to understand that this time also brings the potential for sharing care, memories and time with our families and friends. The quality of life at this time is extremely important. The control of symptoms and availability of support and caring knowledge are key to maintaining the quality of life. Sometimes it may actually help people live longer with less stress and discomfort. There’s an incredible resource in our community that provides comfort, dignity and respect to all those coping with a serious or life-limiting illness. It’s High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care. November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to reach out to our community to raise awareness about the compassionate care that your community hospice provides. The most important message that helps people understand hospice care is that this care supports patients and families focus on living. The hospice team provides expert care to keep patients comfortable and able to enjoy time with loved ones. The hospice team answers questions, offers advice on what to expect, addresses symptoms and helps families with the duties of being a caregiver. The team also provides emotional and spiritual support for the entire family. Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and by most in-
surance plans and HMOs. Hospice care is provided wherever the person lives: at home or in a nursing, assisted living or other facility. Care is available to people of all ages, with any life-limiting illness. Hospice professionals and trained volunteers will ask you what’s important and listen to what you say. They make your wishes a priority. If you or a loved one is facing a serious or life-limiting illness, the time to find out more about hospice and palliative care is right now. Call me at 891-9631 and let me tell you why it has been my privilege to work in hospice care for the last 20 years. TylaAnn Burger Executive Director High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care

Plants and believing everything you read
E
very year, professional and hobby plant breeders are working on developing new varieties of plants for our gardens. These breeders select for color, growth habit, disease resistance, taste, and a variety of other desired characteristics. But, as a home gardener how do we know that these new plants actually perform as advertised? There are several organization that independently trial new varieties each year to help determine the validity of new seed varieties. One such group is the All-American Selections (AAS). The AAS was founded in 1932 by W. Ray Hastings. AAS Trials have been conducted every year since 1932. There is an AAS Gold Medal award reserved for a breeding breakthrough. Gold Medal Awards have been rare, only given once or twice a decade. Since 1984, when the Gold Medal Awards were created, there has only been 5 Gold Medal awards. Early Sunrise Coreopsis won in 1989. In 1999 Profusion Cherry and Orange Zinnia were presented with the award. The white Profusion Zinnia received the award in 2001. And, purple majesty ornamental millet received it in 2003. Every year, several new plant varieties are awarded the All-American Selection award. For the 2012 growing season there were four plants selected as All-American Selections. The ornamental pepper ‘Black Olive,' bred by Seeds by Design, is reported to be an all season long beauty . It keeps its upright habit with nicely draping leaves and dark purple/black fruit which appear in small clusters along the stems. As summer progresses, the fruits mature to red giving a beautiful contrast against the dark purple foliage and bright purple flowers.

Salvia ‘Summer Jewel Pink, bred by Takii & Co. Ltd., is a dwarf sized, compact plant that reportedly has a prolific bloom count throughout the growing season. The blooms appear almost two weeks earlier than the other pink salvias. And of course, the hummingbirds love pink, just as much as they do red! The pepper ‘Cayennetta’ is supposed to be excellent tasting mildly spicy pepper that is very easy to grow. This 3 to 4inch chili pepper yielded bigger fruits from a very well branched upright plant. It required no staking which makes it a great candidate for container or patio gardens. Unique to this variety, bred by Floranova Ltd., is that it has good cold tolerance as well as dense foliage cover to protect the fruits from sun scorch and it handled extreme heat very well. The last, but not least, new variety selected for an award this year was the water melon ‘Faerie.’ Bred by You-Know Seed Company, ‘Faerie’ is a non-traditional watermelon in that it has a creamy yellow rind with thin stripes yet still yields sweet pink-red flesh with a high sugar content and crisp texture. Home gardeners who like growing something unique in their garden will enjoy the fact that the vines are vigorous yet spread only to 11’ means it takes up less space in the garden. Each 7-8” fruit weighs only four to six pounds making it a perfect family size melon. This is one selection I might have to try next year as it is also an early maturing variety!

Anti-bullying starts with healthy school environment, experts say Teachers, others come together to learn more about ways to prevent bullying in local schools
By Katherine Clark
katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — School members and parents came together to stand up to bullying and learn about anti-bullying tactics at the Bullying Prevention Workshop Nov. 10. More than 85 members of local school boards, teachers, law enforcement agents and others attended Champlain Valley Education Services Bullying Prevention Workshop to learn more about the effects of bullying and how to prevent it in schools. The event, held at the Champlain Valley Educational Services Instructional Center, was attended by more than 85 people. CVES Safe Schools Healthy Students project administrator Wanda McQueen said the old “Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me” mindset can have harmful consequences for the well-being of adolescents. The workshop opened with seven Crown Point students showing an anti-bullying presentation they had put on for their school talent show last year. They publicly displayed through a Powerpoint who they were, how it felt when they were bullied, names they had been called and what they wanted most when they were at school. The students said they had been called names like “fat,” “stupid,” “annoying” and “loud” when they would rather be called “funny,” “nice” and smart. Crown Point teacher Laura Uhly said the group had taken it upon themselves to do this project and it was an eye-opening experience for the students who saw it. “They were so brave, putting themselves out there like that, I was scared for them,”

Photo by Katherine Clark Uhly said. However, the students were driven by more than fear and hope what they were doing could make a difference. “Everyone was sick of getting bullied and we had to do something to stop it,” said student Timmy Huestis. The seven students each said what they wanted most from school was to feel it was a safe place to learn, and for people to acknowledge their good qualities. The students opening presentation set the tone for the workshop’s seminars, broken up into four sessions and aimed to train participants how to consistently handle problematic issues, such as cyber bullying, standing up to bullying, addressing bullying by age, and the psychological effects of bullying. Moriah Central School elementary princi-
pal Valerie Stahl said she attended the workshop to get ideas for starting a bullying prevention team at the Moriah school. Stahl said she and others at the school saw a need for a bullying program and wants to address issues of name calling and other harmful activities at the school. Most attendees were members of the Regional Task Force Against Bullying, a group charged with examining and evaluating current district/school policies, programs, and procedures to promote civil and ethical behavior among the school community. Its members include district attorneys, adolescent service consultants, members of law enforcement, mental health/prevention specialists, politicians, education and school board members, and parents. The event received overwhelming registration, according to McQueen, with more

Hannah’s Hope From page 1 Though one-quarter of a million dollars may seem like a lot of money, said Favaro, it’s a drop in the bucket when compared to the thousands upon thousands of dollars it takes to fund research of GAN through the University of North Carolina. Regardless, the funding has helped the international team of researchers studying GAN to feel confident a potential cure could be ready for clinical trials in humans as early as 2013. “Our scientists feel ready to go to the
pounds. All donors must pass physical and health history examinations given prior to donation. Whole blood can be donated once every 56 days. Two units of red blood cells can be donated at one time, using a process known as red cell apheresis, which can be made every 16 weeks. Walk-ins are welcome at all locations.

[Food and Drug Administration] and, with their timelines, we’re looking at a year from January where the first humans could be treated for GAN,” said Favaro. “Of course, that’s the best-case scenario.” That’s a long way from where Favaro’s sister and brother-in-law — Hannah’s mother and father, Plattsburgh area natives Lori and Matt Sames — were when Hannah was diagnosed with GAN in 2008. “We were basically told to go home and enjoy her because there might be nothing done in Hannah’s lifetime to help her,” said Favaro. “Now, here we are, four years later, only about a year away from the first human
than 85 in attendance. “We had to cut off registration at 70 people; we thought we might get 50, we were hoping for 50,” said McQueen. “We worried we wouldnt have enough space for everyone, but people just kept coming, and we wouldn’t keep them out the people are really excited to hear about the bullying awareness strategies and how to help their students.” McQueen said the more people involved and delivering a consistent message against bullying the more the faculty can strive to be an example against bullying. Thorough measures to address bullying in schools and outside school can strengthen a healthy learning environment for students. Safe Schools Healthy Students hopes to hold more events in the future to promote anti-bullying tactics.

clinical trial. Everything has happened so quickly.” The support of people who have raised money and awareness in recent years is what Favaro credits for making that happen, she said. “We couldn’t have done this without [community support],” said Favaro. “We’re constantly amazed by it.” And, it’s continued support through efforts like the Chase Bank Community Giving Contest that will get Hannah’s Hope one step closer to curing GAN, said Favaro. “It’s a great opportunity to help us get some much-needed funding,” said Favaro.

In last week’s edition of the North Countryman, errors were made in an article regarding the relocation of Chazy Public Library. According to Emily Castine, president of the library’s board of directors, it was inaccurate that Friends of the Library, the library's fundraising arm, was required to provide $80,000 toward a $160,000 grant toward the project. Castine clarified the library board needed to meet a 50 percent match of $80,000 in order to apply for a Public Library Construction Grant available from the Division of Library Development in Albany. Castine also stated it was incorrect the second and current phase of the project consisted of providing furnishings and other equipment for the library at a cost of an additional $80,000. “We are now in the culmination of Phase I of the multi-phase project with the purchasing of furnishings and cabinetry,” stated Castine. “The library has applied for another NYS PLC Grant for Phase 2 which focuses on the completion of a Community Room set up for area organizational meetings with multimedia equipment available for instruction and presentations ... We have met the 50/50 match of $40,000 for this endeavor.”
CHAMPLAIN— Champlain Peterbilt, along with 3 J Fuels and Smith & Son, will host a chicken and biscuit dinner at Knight of Columbus Council 3525, 3 Oak St., Thursday, Dec. 1. The dinner will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. to raise money for the less fortunate. Tickets are $8.50 per person and available now each sponsor location. Tickets will also be available at the door, though advance purchases are preferred. Take-outs will be available.
Thanksgiving meal From page 1 Busheys retired last year and this year, the effort has been moved to Mooers United Methodist Church, under the direction of Johnson and a band of ready-and-willing volunteers. “My wife came up with the concept of each family making a meal since we have a small kitchen at church,” said Johnson. “We got a great response from St Anne's, St Joseph's, our church and the [Northeastern Clinton Central School] community.” The annual free meal has traditionally served approximately 125 people, most of whom receive their food by home delivery, said Johnson. And, though the meal is geared toward helping the underprivileged and the elderly, it is open to anyone, he added. “It can even be a well-off family that does not have time to cook; we will serve all to the best of our ability,” said Johnson. The motivation behind Johnson and
other volunteers — who come from several denominations — for serving the meal is their Christian faith, said the pastor. “It feels awesome to be getting the support of the Roman Catholic and other churches and especially the school community,” said Johnson. Johnson said he owes thanks to many, including the Busheys for instituting the idea for the event and his wife, Dee, for coming up with the idea of each family helping the event to prepare a meal saving “much preparation work.” The meal will be offered at Mooers United Methodist Church, 14 East St., on Thanksgiving, next Thursday, Nov. 24, from 12 to 1 p.m. Those wishing to attend are asked to call 236-7129 or 236-5632 or e-mail mooersumc@yahoo.com in advance. Home delivery will be provided in the communities of Mooers and Mooers Forks. Those interested in helping serve during the meal may show up at the church at 10:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving.

It’s a great thing to see how generous people are.” Anna Pape of Chazy has been donating locally to Operation Christmas Child for the past four years after coming to the area from New Hampshire where she contributed to the cause there. What motivates her, said Pape, is thinking about how privileged she was as a child. “I never wanted for anything. I had a very blessed childhood,” said Pape. “When I think about kids in other countries who have very, very little, and how they are delighted with simple things we may take for granted, it’s a

Benefit for Diann Gordon at American Legion Saturday By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — When 46year-old Diann (Moore) Gordon was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer earlier this year, it marked the first time in her immediate family that kind of diagnosis had been handed down, said Gordon’s sister, Gail Carter. “And, there’s 11 of us,” said Carter, noting even their parents hadn’t had a history of cancer. However, Carter said her sister pressed on with the news and has been undergoing treatment ever since. “Her radiation is completed but now she’s doing
[chemotherapy],” said Carter. Though the treatments have left her sister somewhat tired, said Carter, overall, she’s maintained a positive outlook. “This won’t hold her down,” said Carter. “The only thing is she really can’t drive right now, which drives her crazy.” Carter said her sister will continue with chemotherapy and is awaiting results of an examination of some spots found in her brain during a recent examination. While Gordon waits, her sister and friends are in the process of organizing a benefit in her honor Saturday, Nov. 19. The event will be held from 12 to 6 p.m. at American Legion Post 1619, 219
Rand Hill Road, West Plattsburgh, and include a spaghetti dinner, live auction, Chinese auction, raffles, and entertainment by the Too Big for the Corner Band. The benefit will help with the medical expenses Gordon has incurred as she is currently unable to work and is collecting disability. Carter hopes the community will turn out to show support for her sister. “Dianne has always been the girl who gives to everybody else,” said Carter. “This has just been hard for her because she doesn’t feel comfortable with Diann Gordon, seated, in front, is joined by her children, Ashley, Samantha and Glenn. A benegetting things back.

Omicron Delta Kappa receives ‘Circle of Excellence’ recognition

PLATTSBURGH — The State University of New York at Plattsburgh chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa received the Presidential Circle of Excellence, becoming the only chapter in the national leadership honor society to be recognized with the honor this year. The award takes seven years to achieve and is only given to ODK chapters that have shown a history of success by earning Distinction honors for five consecutive years or Superior honors for three years. Plattsburgh has been ranked a Superior Circle for three years in a row and a Circle of Distinction for five years in a row. Michael Cashman, student activities coordinator and faculty secretary of the Plattsburgh chapter, said it takes strict attention to detail to achieve the accolade. “If any piece of paper is lacking — if the I’s aren't dotted, if the T’s aren't crossed — there's a chance that if you don't have things lined up one year, you start all over,” said Cashman.
For seven years, the group has gone above and beyond the circle standards by holding special programs and inducting prominent individuals as honorary members, like SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher, Congressman Bill Owens and former ambassadors and congressmen and women, said Cashman. “We are very proud of the tradition of excellence that our circle represents through active programming and inductions of students, faculty/staff, alumni and honoris causa members,” said Cashman. “The Plattsburgh circle's recognition with the society's Presidential Award of Excellence is a testament to the sustained leadership of the circle's officers as well as to the caliber of its members,” said Dr. Michael Christakis, national vice president for circle standards and foundation trustee. “The Plattsburgh circle should be commended for continuing to set the bar for other circles nationwide to
emulate." The SUNY Plattsburgh ODK chapter was charted May 2, 1981, and has since inducted more than 2,350 members. Plattsburgh is one of 14 SUNY schools to be granted a charter by the leadership society. The chapter puts on a dozen programs throughout the fall and spring semesters, including Family Weekend events, Lunch with a Leader Series for college students, a leadership workshop for high school students and an ODK Day of Service. Some of the group’s achievements include the installation of park benches in honor of the late Dr. Eldridge Roark, former vice president for academic affairs, and Cheryl Hogle, retired associate dean of students, both former national society presidents; a brick pathway outside the Angell College Center in recognition of ODK’s 25 years on campus; and an endowment to the College Foundation currently valued at more than $68,000.

Breast cancer awareness a team effort The Saranac girls varsity and JV soccer teams held a breast cancer awareness event in conjunction with their senior night festivities recently. Brine donated pink soccer game balls and pink corner flags were used. The girls wore pink accents including pink shoe laces head bands and pink breast cancer awareness arm bands.
