FIRE AND ICE

Fire razes St. Mary’s Academy in Champlain

PLATTSBURGH

By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN Ñ Last Friday, Jan. 16, fire tore through the former St. MaryÕ s Academy in Champlain, leaving the three story stone building a smoldering shell of its former self.

Firefighters from around the northern tier, including departments from Vermont and Quebec, fought the blaze well into Saturday morning. Over 200 fire fighters rotated in to fight the blaze.

Throughout the weekend and into this past week the remains of the building lay smoldering, while local departments continued douse it with water in hopes of quenching it for good.

KofC members lead anti abortion march

Lumber Jills roller derby looking for ‘fresh meat’ PAGE 5 SPORTS

By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Knights of Columbus members from numerous councils around the Champlain Valley led the annual March For Life to St. JohnÕ s Church on Sunday.

The march coincides yearly with the anniversary of the 1973 Roe V. Wade Supreme Court decision, effectively legalizing abortion in the United States.

Marchers at the head of the roughly 80 strong march quietly recited a rosary while they walked down Broad Street from the Blessed John XXIII Newman Center where the march stepped off from.

Reverend Jason McGuire, from Rochester, spoke at the church as the keynote speaker. He said that the pro-life message is resonating throughout the country, on both the left and right sides of the political spectrum.

Marchers were treated to nicer weather for the march than in years past, with a slight wind and temperatures hovering in the lower thirties. The march, however, is held rain, snow or shine.

North Country leads state in suicide rate; highest in spring

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ More people kill themselves in the North Country per capita than anywhere else in New York state.

Behavioral Health Services North (BHSN) are hoping to bring attention to that fact, as well as to the services they provide to

people in crisis, to help to stem that tide.

According to Tara Powers, Director of Development and Community Relations for BHSN, suicides donÕ t peak during the holidays as many people believe, but rather in the early spring. Ò It can be isolating (the holidays). It can be stressful,Ó she said. Ò It can be really hard when youÕ re depressed to put on that facade. You go into the new year in that dark space, while every-

body else is positive. Ò WeÕ re in that dark, cold period now in the North Country.Ó The outcome, she says, is that as winter drags on eventually into spring, the suicide rate rises.

BHSN administers the only suicide hot line available within the county, and touts that calls are answered by a live, trained person within 30 seconds. Ò What weÕ re trying to get out there is the idea that there is help, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day,Ó Powers said. Ò ItÕ s really an important thing for people to know that these resources are out there.Ó While they administer the local hot line for the Clinton County Coalition to Prevent Suicide, they do occasionally answer calls from people in crisis in other counties as well, and work to funnel them to an appropriate help line.

But, Powers points out, BHSN sees their hot line as a last line of defense. They prefer to get involved with people before they make it to a crisis state. BHSN offers a wide range of psychiatric services for people and families suffering from mental illnesses or depression. They have both adult clinical services, as well as a child and family clinic.

Many people are referred following psychiatric hospitalization and are in need of an array of treatment and rehabilitation services. Ò When people are going through this, they donÕ t want to stigmatize their families. YouÕ re not Ò supposedÓ to have those feelings. People are afraid to reach out,Ó she said.

They number for the suicide prevention hot line is 1-866-5773836. The number to schedule regular adult clinical services is 563-8000.

BHSN also administers a hot line specifically for veterans, whose suicide rates nationally have skyrocketed in recent years.

That number is 1-800-273-8255.

Trinity Episcopal Church serving up community meals

By Shawn Ryan

church or the various volunteer groups taking part. Different groups have their own week each month that they fund and man, with Trinity picking up their own monthly meal. Fifth Wednesdays, which happen five times a year, are picked up by the First Assembly of God Youth Group.

Bachman says that the volunteers take more from the meal than those who come to eat. Ò ItÕ s satisfying seeing people come and get a mealÉ to see that theyÕ re having a good time,Ó she said. Ò I like that this is a place where we can spread the word of God in a very non-threatening way.Ó Ò I take away the satisfaction that people leave here knowing that theyÕ ve had a good meal and good fellowship,Ó added Belton.

Doors open and coffee flows for both community meals at 4 p.m., with meals being served at 5:15 p.m. Bachman says that volunteers are always needed, especially for the winter Saturday meal. Interested people can contact Trinity at 561-2244.

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Trinity Episcopal Church in Plattsburgh is celebrating at least 20 years of offering their weekly community meal. TheyÕ ve lost track of the specifics as they’ve been pretty busy in the kitchen.

In the early nineties the church, which sits snug in the heart of downtown Plattsburgh, started the meal on a shoe-string budget. Ò We saw a need in the community, so we decided we would start a community meal,Ó said Martha Bachman, current director of the Community Meal. Ò ItÕ s not a soup kitchen. ItÕ s a community meal. ItÕ s a time of fellowship.Ó When the Ice Storm of 1998 hit the church, they were left with a fair amount of settlement money from the damage. At that time, they chose to invest in a commercial kitchen so they could expand their offerings.

TheyÕ ve been providing Wednesday evening meals during their entire run, and in the winter they offer a Saturday meal as well. They serve between 50 and 80 people for their Wednesday mean, and about 60 for their weekend meal.

Along with a cadre of volunteers from the church, Trinity is assisted by volunteers from the First Presbyterian Church, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, KiwanisÕ Breakfast Club, SUNY Plattsburgh, Beekmantown High School, and several other volunteer groups from the community, as well as some people assigned to community service.

Along with the meal, whenever possible, they have food to send people home with. Ò A lot of food is donated, especially through the JCEO gleaners program, and we redistribute it to people who come to the meal,Ó said Fa-

It takes more than boats to float a marina

W

hand in hand with the new marina as the promise goes: Good, higher-end downtown businesses.

In the past few years, however, this has been anything but the trend in Plattsburgh.

A casual stroll along downtown streets shows only two types of businesses which seem to be thriving: Secondhand stores and tattoo parlors... not exactly magnets for up-scale Canadian shopping dollars.

On Margaret Street alone, one canÕ t swing a dead cat and not hit either one or the other types of establishments.

Granted, tattoos have become mainstream in American culture and donÕ t attract the type of riffraff that their former stigma implied, but the jury is certainly out as to how many Canadian boaters will make the trek up the hill for some new ink.

We can pretty much go out on a limb and guarantee that very few will be shopping for some secondhand DVDs or a samurai sword to bring back to their half-million dollar boats.

Sure, Pawn Stars is currently one of the most popular shows on television, but that doesnÕ t mean that PlattsburghÕ s thrift stores will be able to capitalize on this trend and attract Canadian shoppers.

Those holding the reins of power in the city seem to think that just bringing more boaters to the Plattsburgh shores will bring good business to the downtown.

But the opposite could likely be the case: Shoppers go to stores, not stores to shoppers. If the city can’t find some way to entice good businesses to locate downtown before the boaters come, the boaters will never make it any further than the Turtle... that is, if they choose to dock at PlattsburghÕ s new marina at all.

All this pre-supposes that the project will come together in time for this yearÕ s boating season.

By spring, itÕ s all but too late. Boaters reserve their dock space months, if not years, in advance.

If PlattsburghÕ s docks are going in the water in, say, June, itÕ s just too late to salvage this season.

Then itÕ s back to the drawing board and another lost year of possibilities.

The prospects thus far donÕ t seem to be too confidence inspiring, as the current council wrestles with a reputation for extreme political ennui.

They could turn that all around, however, if the next two months see the council chambers turned into a beehive of activity between the city and Navtours, working on the three-legged-stool of marina, shuttle bus and good downtown businesses.

Not much time will be needed to tell. ÑD

From the Publisher

From the Editor ord on the street is there is a rebirth afoot in downtown Plattsburgh. Politicians have been talking and talking about bringing a city-run marina to downtown.

The most forward progress that the project has seen to date happened just a week ago when the Common Council voted a kingÕ s ransom to buy new docks and turn the operation over to the Montreal-based Navtours.

If the marina does come to pass, new businesses will immediately spring up in the cityÕ s downtown, weÕ re promised.

But what kind of new businesses will come?

Businesses need space close to where these new boaters will be tying up. The space immediately around the marina however, with scant few exceptions, is residential space.

The main problem then becomes logistics.

Are boaters going to leave their boats at the new marina and walk past the only restaurant close by, the Naked Turtle, to walk to other downtown restaurants a half mile away?

Do they come now from the current marina, the Plattsburgh Boat Basin?

Will they even know what downtown businesses are within Ò walking distanceÓ of the marina?

And is your average recreational boater going to head out in flip-flops, take the lengthy walk up past the train station, hang a right and trudge down a fairly uninviting sidewalk, just to get to the outskirts of the business district proper?

Are they going to shop at all the Ò boutiqueÓ stores which are yet to be built, and trudge their parcels back this same way?

What the city needs to go hand in hand with the new marina is a city-run shuttle service to bring boaters, the overwhelming majority of which will be well-heeled Canadians, to the scant downtown shopping and dining corridor as it currently stands.

The city can sell ad space on the shuttle itself, and publish maps and brochures, available at the marina and on the shuttle, to downtown businesses. This will help defray the costs to the city to run the shuttle and give aggressive businesses a leg up on their competitors.

It is an anathema in Plattsburgh to liken any planned changes in the city to what Burlington currently offers, but why not talk about a city whose marina brings proven results?

Dock in Burlington, and the city simply invites the boater to come in and shop. ItÕ s about the same distance of a walk, but nautical shoppers know what theyÕ re going to get: a nice walk to good stores in a vibrant downtown environment.

Which brings us to the other thing that the city needs to encourage, which will supposedly go

Lumber Jills roller derby club seeking new members

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Its fresh meat time for the Lumber Jills, and theyÕ re looking for a few good women to answer the call.

The local roller derby club is recruiting for the upcoming season, a season after a fairly successful 2014 campaign, the Jills are hoping to replace some members who have left the team over the summer.

This year the Jills are hoping to gain WomenÕ s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) status this year. Gaining WFTDA status would mean that the Lumber Jills would be recognized by the association as a full-fledged team, and not just a club. Ò This year weÕ re apprentice status. We need to bout with a WFTDA team,Ó said Lumber JillsÕ president Maddie McGrath. Ò If we can get enough new people, that will help us in achieving that goal.Ó McGrath says that the time commitment re-

quired for the team can put some people off, but she finds the benefits far outweigh any other factor. Ò It takes a lot of time, but itÕ s worth the commitment. We’ve traveled all over the place; you get to meet people you never would have met and make friends with people you never would have made friends with,Ó she said.

She says, too, that a fresh meat candidate doesnÕ t need to be able to skate. ThatÕ s a skill they are more than willing to teach.

Fresh meat night is Feb. 1 at 4 p.m. at the Crete Center in Plattsburgh. The Jills practice time is typically 7:30 - 9:30 p.m., Wednesdays and Fridays, and bouts are Sundays, from 5 to 7 p.m.

To learn more about the Jills, interested candidates can go to their Facebook page, or e-mail plattsburghrollerderby@gmail.com At right: The Lumber Jills are looking for new members as they hope make the leap from club to team status in 2015.

It was obvious to us that this boy hadnÕ t missed too many meals and was used to being inside. A few days later his buddy Chubby was found running at large and was also brought to Elmore SPCA. Through social media we learned that their owner had passed away and there was no one to care for these two family dogs. The family surrendered the dogs so that they would receive over due vetting and find their loving forever homes.

Although she is very shy, and will probably hide for a bit when she is introduced to a new environment, she does enjoy being pet and engaging with people. She is getting used to interacting with new people more and more everyday and will be a great companion cat to someone who has some patience and time...

Letters to the Editor

Supers ‘irresponsible’ To the Editor: The Essex County Board of Supervisors support of this paperÕ s editorial call for banning Protect The Adirondacks is hugely irresponsible.

These are the political leaders of our county. To silence a voice that one disagrees with or finds offensive is a first step toward a mindset that could justify the attacks in Paris last week.

I only sometimes agree with Protect, and often find its message offensively delivered, but It has every right in this country to pursue its agenda.

By denying this, the Board of Supervisors has set a terribly destructive example.

David Thomas-Train Keene Valley

Lawsuits misguided, damaging To the Editor: Several years ago, I was a member of one of the predecessors to Protect the Adirondacks.

I have since refused to join Protect the Adirondacks because of their radical stance against the housing development near Tupper Lake.

As a conservationist, I believe that only when the people of a region have a part in conserving that region will they be willing to listen. That is why I have been a member for over 15 years of the Nature Conservancy and the Adirondack Mountain Club, and a founding member of the Wild Center.

Suing the APA to prevent the people of the

Tupper Lake area from benefiting from economic development because of a belief that this organization had somehow failed to uphold the laws governing The Adirondack Park was a misguided and damaging act to the preservation of support for our beloved Park.

As a long time resident of the Park, I would suggest that Protect the Adirondacks check what percentage of the Park landowners belong to their organization. I spent several hours listening to and talking with Peter Bauer at an annual meeting of the Residents Committee to Protect the Adirondacks in the late 2000s.

He appeared to be a good man who believed his philosophy and actions would strengthen support for the preservation of the wild nature of the Adirondacks; I do not.

Joseph D. Dumoulin, Jay

Kudos to Canon, supervisors To the Editor: Kudos to George Canon and the Essex County Board of Supervisors for their unanimous stance against Protect the Adirondacks. I hope other Adirondack County Boards will express their support as well.

Also, thank you to Denton Publications Editorial Board for putting in print what the majority of full time Adirondack residents feel about Protect the Adirondacks.

Bob Dechene, Long Lake

Relay for Life Kick Off event planned for Feb. 7

By Teah Dowling

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Plattsburgh Relay for Life Kick Off event will take place Feb. 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Plattsburgh International Airport. Ò Things are always changing,Ó said Julie Stalker, tri-lead for Relay for Life. Ò ItÕ s an opportunity for teams to come and see whatÕ s new about relay, join a team, become a team or just see what relay is about.Ó This year, Plattsburgh Relay for Life will take place June 12 at the Clinton County Fairgrounds and feature a new beach theme, luminaria ceremony, fight back ceremony and more.

RelayÕ s goal is to get 700 participants, 30 new teams, 70 returning teams and 400 survivors for this yearÕ s race, along with raising $150,000.

Relay for Life was born in May 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, who passed away last year at 71, walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Washington, ultimately raising $27,000 to help the American Cancer Society fight against cancer. Ò This is out there,Ó Stalker said. Ò This event draws out awareness.Ó A year later, 340 supporters joined the overnight event. And since those first steps, the Relay for Life movement has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, raising nearly $5 billion to fight cancer.

Each year, more than 4 billion people in over 20 countries raise funds and awareness to save

lives from cancer through the Relay for Life movement by celebrating, remembering and fighting back. Ò This event draws out awareness,Ó Stalker said. Ò It asks us to remember those individuals that weÕ ve lost and to celebrate the people that are here.Ó Register before Feb. 7 and be entered in a drawing for two round trip flight tickets to Boston donated by PenAir. For more information on the kick off event, contact Ann Brickey at 518-534-2050 or relayforcure@gmail.com or Laurie Lucia at 518-5697157 or llucia63@ymail.com. To register and find out more about relay, visit www.relayforlife.org/plattsburghny. Ò This is something you should support because you want to,Ó Stalker said. Ò I would encourage people to come to the event and the kick off, meet with us and learn more about what we do.Ó

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE Ñ From North Creek to Blue Mountain Lake to Glens Falls, the Adirondack MuseumÕ s Ò Cabin Fever SundaysÓ series continues to present a wide-ranging look at life in the Adirondacks.

Fire

From page 1 Timmons said that they likely will not be able to totally extinguish the blaze until the building is demolished.

Roughly two-thirds of the building complex were totally destroyed. During the height of the fire, a house next door briefly caught fire, before firefighters were able to nip the fire in the bud.

Firefighters fighting the fire contended with one of the coldest nights this winter, with temperatures well below zero.

Throughout the weekend people walked or drove by the ice

encrusted, hulking remains. The entire St. MaryÕ s Academy campus, including both entrances, remain ringed with yellow fire scene tape.

County and state fire investigators have been working since the weekend trying to find the source of the blaze. The venerable school has been closed since 2012, but parts of the building were still being used for things like exercise classes and meetings.

When they closed their doors, after years of financial insolvency, the local community and St. MaryÕ s alumni tried to rally to save the school, but they were unable. The school, like many religious schools before them, suffered from dwindling enrollment over the years.

Beekmantown skates past Saranac Lake in doubleheader First-place Eagles teams pick up wins over Red Storm

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com Girls: Beekmantown 4, Saranac Lake 2 SARANAC LAKE Ñ The league-leading Eagles may have been favorited to pick up the win, but a hard-playing Red Storm certainly made them earn it.

Saranac Lake pulled to within a goal two separate times but Beekmantown was able to keep them at bay in the 4-2 win Jan. 14 at the Saranac Lake Civic Center.

The Eagles (10-3-1, 4-0-0) scored two goals in a span of 1:11 early in the first period to build a quick 2-0 lead. First, Katie Mattot converted on a Kallie Villemaire assist, followed by Kelsey Baker scoring by way of Kirsten Villemaire.

But before Beekmantown could relax, Saranac Lake (2-11-1, 1-6-1) evened it up just over a minute later when Chloe Peer found the back of the net on a Morgan Farmer assist.

In the second period, Kallie Villemaire picked up her second assist when she fed Katie Mattot for the 3-1 lead, a margin the Eagles would hold until early in the third.

Just over 2:08 into the third quarter, Kate Stevens came down the right side, cut left and put a backhanded shot past Taylor Lauren to get the Red Storm within a goal.

Midway through the third, the Eagles put to bed the chance of a tie when Mya Ladieu scored from close range to push the lead back to two goals. Brielle Carnright was credited with the assist.

Both goalies registered nearly identical save percentages as Beekmantown outshot Saranac Lake 37-21. Lauren stopped 19 of 21 in the win while Red Storm keeper Lindsay Reeve made 33 saves.

Saranac LakeÕ s next game is at St. Lawrence Central on Tuesday, Jan. 20. Beekmantown will play Essex at home on Friday, Jan. 16.

Boys: Beekmantown 3, Saranac Lake 1 SARANAC LAKE Ñ Christian Wawrzynski scored two goals and the undefeated Eagles picked up the 3-1 win over the Red Storm Jan. 14 at the Saranac Lake Civic Center.

The game was aggressively played from the get-go as both teams played hard against the boards and saw players skating to the penalty box.

Wawrzynski scored just 1:13 into the game on an assist from Tyler Pepper and over eight minute later he made it two, this time on a deflection in front of the net.

Beekmantown (11-0-0, 3-0-0) also got strong play in the net from Ben Frederick, who thwarted one Red Storm break with a lightning-quick drop to the ice on a low shot.

In the second period, Ryan Waterbury scored an unassisted goal 4:13 in, pushing BeekmantownÕ s lead to 3-0.

Just under eight minutes later, Saranac Lake (1-8-0, 1-3-0) got on the board when Casey Sturgeon took away FrederickÕ s chance at a shutout.

J.B. Chapin picked up the assist on the goal.

Beekmantown held a sizeable shot advantage, 41-17, against a Saranac Lake team heavy in youth.

Frederick made 16 saves overall to collect the win between the pipes. Red Storm goalie Justin Farmer had a busy game in net, collecting 38 stops in the setback.

The Eagles, ranked third in the state by the New York State Sportswriters Association, are the only team in the Division II poll without a loss or a tie. Their next contest is at Niskayuna on Saturday, Jan. 17.

The Red Storm, in fifth place in the CVAC standings, will return to action in the OFA Tourney against Irondequoit on Friday, Jan. 16.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Kallie Villemaire fires on net in the Eagles’ win over the Red Storm. She collected two assists.

TOP RIGHT: Eagles goalie Ben Frederick makes a low save against the Red Storm, one of his 16 stops in the win. The No. 3 ranked Beekmantown team outshot Saranac Lake 41-17.

“We had a rough first period, killing off four Beekmantown power plays and getting outshot 15-1,Ó said Lake Placid head coach Bill Ward. Ò Tanner Stanton kept us in the game.Ó Beekmantown had seven power play opportunities overall, but converted on none of them. Lake Placid had two in the loss.

Boys’ hockey Lake Placid 3, Northeastern Clinton 0 CHAMPLAIN Ñ The Blue Bombers nearly doubled the Cougars in shots, 41-21, on their way to a 3-0 shutout win Jan. 13.

Lake Placid (9-1, 2-0) kept itself right on the heels of the unbeaten Beekmantown Eagles in league play with the victory.

Nzoni Thompson scored the Blue BombersÕ opening goal on assits from Chris Williams and Connor Preston. In the second, Thompson added an assist on his own on a Pat Kane goal.

Kiefer Casler struck in the third period by way of Ryan Damp for Lake Placid’s third and final goal in the win.

Northeastern ClintonÕ s Ryan Roberts did all he good to keep his team in the game, tallying 38 saves in a strong performance in net.

The Blue BombersÕ Kamm Cassidy stopped 21 shots for the shutout victory in goal.

Beekmantown 4, Niskayuna 1 SCHENECTADY Ñ Midway through the second period, the Eagles faced a rare deficit. Four unanswered goals took care of that in a hurry.

Four different Beekmantown players scored and the team picked up the 4-1 win over Niskayuna Jan. 17.

After Evan Maloney put Beekmantown down a goal, Nathan Herbert tied it up on a Christian Wawrzynski assist. Michael Parent scored the go-ahead just 47 seconds later.

In the third period, Ryan Waterbury and Kyle Constanty added to the lead with goals of their own. Josh Barriere assisted on each of the final three goals.

Ben Frederick collected 23 saves as Beekmantown outshot Niskayuna 40-24.

Chazy led 41-23 going into the fourth quarter before a 17-9 Willsboro rally tightened the gap, but Chazy held on for the league victory.

Allison Tatro also had a big game for the Eagles, scoring 17 points. The two combined for 41 in the win.

WillsboroÕ s Trina Bigelow and Rachael Burt each registered double-digit nights in scoring, going for 12 and 11, respectively.

Chazy 36, Lake Placid 35 LAKE PLACID Ñ Bailey Pepper hit a go-ahead 3 with six seconds left to lift the Eagles over the Blue Bombers 36-35 on Jan. 16 Chazy, which trailed 27-20 heading into the fourth quarter, outscored Lake Placid 16-8 over the final eight minutes to edge its way to a second consecutive league victory.

The Eagles picked up their first win of the season two days prior over Willsboro. Ò Chazy capitalized on our mistakes tonight as six consecutive turnovers lead to points for the Eagles in the last quarter,Ó said Blue Bombers head coach Jeff Potter.

Skyler Thomas led the Eagles with 13 points. Allison Tatro and Maura Trombley each had eight and Pepper finished with seven points and the gameÕ s lone make from beyond the arc.

Liza Marinis paced with Lake Placid with 12 points and put up a long jumper as time expired that fell just short. Lauren Rossi tallied 10 points.

Chazy used a 17-6 run through the second quarter to take an eight point lead into the break, but Willsboro did enough in the second half to pick up the win.

Paetyn Hilborne led the Eagles with 12 points, followed by Keagan OÕ Connor (11) and Sam Provost (9) in the setback.

Northeastern Clinton 59, AuSable Valley 56 CLINTONVILLE Ñ Mike McLeod scored 19 points and Austin Tetreault 17 more to lead the Cougars over the Patriots in a road win Jan. 14.

It was a tale of two halves as Northeastern Clinton jumped out to a big lead in the first half before AuSable Valley charged back in the second. But in the end, the Cougars came out on top.

Brendan Boutin rounded out the Cougars double-digit scorers with 13 points.

Zach Cosgrove led the Patriots with 18 points and Kobe Parrow had 14 more. Nate Manning and Alex Knapp both chipped in 11 points.
