Budgets fail at two Clinton County schools
PLATTSBURGH
By Teah Dowling
K-Cups galore following Valley Vending remodel
teah@denpubs.com CHAZY/CHAMPLAIN Ñ Every school district in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties saw successful passage of their budgets except Chazy Central Rural School (CCRS) and Northeastern Clinton Central School (NCCS). On Tuesday, both districts lacked the 60 percent supermajority votes required to override the state mandated cap. In CCRS, the budget was defeated by 21 votes; NCCS, 10. Both have until June 16 to create and put to a vote modifi ed spending plans. CHAZY CENTRAL The $10,354,771 budget failed with a fi nal vote of 322 to 250. CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

WASHINGTON, D.C. Ñ As she crisscrossed the district last week, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik knocked out a pair of fi rsts. A telephone town hall saw thousands of constituents listening to the rep discuss issues like taxes, trade and agriculture Ñ likely the fi rst direct interaction with Stefanik for many — while the lawmaker also showed off her policy chops with her fi rst bill, the Common Sense Waiver Act. The legislation, introduced on Thursday, would allow local offi cials to fast track the demolition of unsafe buildings by asking the Environmental Protection Agency to waive emissions standards or other requirements under the Clean Air Act. A requested waiver may be approved if the building is condemned or there is a reasonable expectation of the building’s structural failure.

Multiple Valley Vending remodels end in a wall of K-Cups By Teah Dowling
Though people can still pick what they want, they can now enjoy their shopping experience along a wall with big signs that say Ò Mix & Match,Ó Ò DarkÓ or Ò Flavored,Ó etc. “It has an easy flow to it,” Lyon said. “And it’s much more attractive.Ó The long row of hot beverage K-Cups include gourmet options that Valley Vending is the exclusive distributor of, such as Tim Hortons, along with local companies such as Green Mountain in Vermont and Adirondack Coffee Roasters in Plattsburgh. If someone wants to try pumpkin spice or chai latte, they can buy one or more of each. Customers can buy one K-Cup for 75 cents, 12 for $8.95 and 24 for $14.95. Prices may vary due to quality of coffee.
teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — After multiple remodeling projects, the last being about a month ago, Valley Vending changed its perceived conception of a business with a front office to what’s actually there Ñ multiples of single K-Cups in a mix-and-match premium service walk-in store. This new layout allows customers to mix and match their KCups of coffees, teas and hot chocolates instead of buying them from the box load, offering approximately 170 different cup of Joe possibilities. “I don’t know if I’ve tried every variety of coffee,” said Jeff Prescott, president/CEO of Valley Vending. “But I’ve put a big dent in it.Ó THE BEGINNING Charles Benedict established Valley Vending Service, Inc. in the Town of Lewis when Mr. Benedict purchased 10 cigarette machines and placed them in locations as a part-time endeavor. Robert Prescott joined the firm in Spring 1970. In 1972, the Lewis Shop and Warehouse was built and was expanded twice in 1975 and 1978. In 1980, the growing business moved to a small facility in Treadwells Mills. It outgrew that by 1982, so it moved to another facility on Wall Street in Plattsburgh. The business outgrew that as well and moved to Sharron Avenue. Jeff Prescott came to work for the company in 1992. “I had no choice in the matter,” he laughed jokingly. “But I’ve been doing this my whole life...I love the business.” Robert gave Doug Lyon, who’s now the vice president of Valley Vending, a job, his big break, out of college almost 20 years ago. “I just didn’t know any better,” he chuckled. “Jeff’s father gave me the opportunity, gave me a chance.
Valley Vending in Plattsburgh now offers approximately 170 different types of K-Cups with a mix and match option. Photo by Teah Dowling
Ò I feel like I owe my career to this company.Ó In February 2001, All Season Services bought the full-line vending operation, and Valley Vending moved the amusement half of their operation to South Peru Street and Jeff Prescott obtained ownership. Finally, in 2005, the company moved to South Catherine Street and restarted the vending business with a big focus in coffee. THE SHIFT Valley Vending started the walk-in business for coffee about seven or eight years ago after businesses asked for coffee when they would go into the store for darts and pool supplies. At first, they sold the K-Cups in the boxes they came in only with the lid torn off. They put the open boxes on wire racks in isles and let people pick what they want.
THE FUTURE Valley Vending plans to expand into the cappacino and expresso line. The store will have a low-cost home model coming out for expresso, which will be available in July or August. Valley Vending will continue to sell a wide variety of hot beverage K-Cups, while adding a variety of other local products such as maple syrup from the Parker Family Maple Farm of West Chazy. Currently, Valley Vending is in the process of leasing a storefront in Glens Falls, where they want to duplicate the new and improved store in Plattsburgh. “We’ve always really done the same thing we’re doing now,” Lyon said. “But its just evolved into something bigger.” The Plattsburgh store, located at 4874 South Catherine Street, is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Visit Valley Vending’s website (www.valleyvending.com) or call at 561-0300 for more information.
JCEO Community Action Angels collecting books for kids By Teah Dowling
teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Sometimes, it’s good to be a smarty pants. JCEO (Joint Council for Economic Opportunity) Community Action Angels is looking for community support for its Smarty Pants - Read Me Ready Project. The angels are collecting new or gently used books, for children of ages 0 to 13, by June 15 as part of a statewide initiative to get 10,000 books donated to children in need. JCEO set a goal of 500, but they hope to get 1,000. “I’m sure we can accomplish our goal of books being collect-
ed,” said Kathy Bishop, JCEO development specialist. “We live in a very generous and caring community and I know that our community will come through for us.Ó All books collected will remain in the area and be given to local needy children in places such as JCEO’s Head Start and Backpack programs, foster homes, children’s wards in hospitals and more. The main goal for the entire project is to put books in the hands of needy children as a way to support early learning and childhood literacy. Ò Reading is one of the most precious gifts we can give to them,” Bishop said. “Only 15 minutes a day could lead to the difference between their school success or, sadly, their school
failure. Ò Reading is important and we want to make sure we promote that in our community.Ó To donate, drop off the books at any of the following locations: JCEO at 54 Margaret St., CVPH’s lobby area at 75 Beekman St., Perrywinkles Fine Jewelry at 75 Smithfield Blvd. and at the Glens Falls National Bank branch offices at 308 Cornelia St., 5023 US Ave. and 25 Margaret St. Cash donations are also accepted so that appropriate books can be purchased.

Dozer Day rebranded, returning to P’burgh as Dozerfest By Teah Dowlng
teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Kids, it’s almost time to leave home, put on a hard hat and go to work at a construction site. The ninth annual Dozerfest, previously known as Dozer Day, will take place Saturday, June 6 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh, presented by the Plattsburgh Kiwanis Breakfast Club and its partners Graymont and Milton Cat. Rain or shine, children of all ages, under close supervision by professional operators, can try to operate loaders, bulldozers, excavators, cranes and more large and heavy machinery. “It’s the only place that kids will be able to operate big equipment before they’re 18 and get a job,” laughed Douglas Osborn, president of the Plattsburgh Kiwanis Breakfast Club. “It’s their opportunity to actually try out the equipment by moving dirt, digging holes and more.Ó Children who want to be heavy equipment operators for the day will be able to drive and touch the machines, along with taking a ride in the Airborne Speedway Pace Car around the track, a jump house, music, face painting, free education, games and more. Osborn said the border guard might come in with a helicopter and land in the middle of the race track. Other companies, such as Huntley Trucking, Fuller Trucking, Kubricky Construction and George Moore Truck & Equipment Corp., might all return for another year, as well. Also, there will be a Pros vs. Joes competition for the adults where professionals and non-professionals will compete against other members in their group operating and completing specific tasks with a backhoe for the honorary golden shovel award. DOZER DAY LIFT Before Dozerfest came to be, Dozer Day was born in 2006 under the direction of Tonia Finnegan and Kathleen Hazel, both Kiwanians with the Plattsburgh Kiwanis Breakfast Club. The two Kiwanians called on Graymont for help, which led to a nine year partnership. With the help of them and numerous local construction companies, the Kiwanians launched their first event. For the first few years, the event was held at the Clinton Coun-
Duprey supports legislation that delays, reforms teacher evaluations
PERU — Assemblywoman Janet Duprey expressed satisfaction with the passage of legislation (A.7303A) that will delay and reform the controversial teacher evaluations reforms enacted in this year’s budget on May 20. The bill, which Duprey co-sponsors, delays

ty Fairgrounds with tractors, loaders, dump trucks and more. Since the initial event was a huge success, they knew they had started an event with the potential to the grow. In Fall 2014, the Plattsburgh Kiwanis Breakfast Club was notified that a foundation on the west coast are in the process of trademarking the brand “Dozer Day” and they asked the club to cease using “Dozer Day” or pay a $5,000 fee for the right to use said name. After much discussion and negotiating, the club felt that it was in the best interest of the organization and the local community to rebrand the Plattsburgh event and call it Dozerfest. “The crowd gets bigger every year and we tend to have more equipment show up every year,” Osborn said, “so we wanted more of a festival-like atmosphere.Ó THE NEW GOAL The mission of Dozerfest, along with the Plattsburgh Breakfast Kiwanis Club, is to raise funds for local charities that directly benefit local children, including The Ted K. Center, JCEO Summer Camp Program, Shine on!, The Imaginarium Children’s Mu-
the State Education Department’s regulation deadline on new teacher evaluations from June 30 to Nov. 17 and extends the deadline for school districts to negotiate new evaluation plans from Nov. 15 to Nov. 15, 2016. Duprey stressed that this measure is a critical step for our teachers and students when it comes to standardized testing. “I’m happy to support legislation that ac-

seum, Journey Into Reading and more. In 2014, the event brought in over 4,500 visitors and raised over $30,000 for these local charities. The Plattsburgh Kiwanis Breakfast Club hopes to break the amount they made last year for children in the community. “It’s basically the big thing for kids in the community who will operate this big equipment,” Osborn said. “Our goal is to have a good time, make people aware of who we are and what we do for the community and help out the organizations helping children that need our help. “Just the look on their faces is enough to make it all worthwhile.Ó Tickets cost $5 for adults, $4 for children 4-12 and free for children 3 and under. Tickets are available at the Airborne Park Speedway gates the day of the event. Visit the Plattsburgh Kiwanis Breakfast Club’s website (www. plattsburghdozerfest.org) or Facebook page for more information or to make a donation or contact Stone at 518-569-8003 or stoner@westelcom.com.
knowledges test scores alone cannot capture the worth of a student or an educator,Ó Duprey said. “Teacher evaluations should not be heavily weighted on high-stakes standardized tests, especially for those who teach special needs children. This legislation takes into account children with disabilities, impoverished students and English language learners when weighting teacher evaluation scores. It also
pushes back the deadline on evaluations and calls for a Content Review Committee to ensure that tests are grade-appropriate. “I’m encouraged by the passage of this bill in the Assembly and I hope the Senate will take it up and pass it before the end of session to give both teachers and students the consideration they deserve and build a brighter future for education in New York State.Ó

New Ti shuttle service, rail The importance of local businesses connection can be example L for other communities
F
ort Ticonderoga and Amtrak have teamed up to give rail passengers a more inviting experience to the historic former military installation, which is widely seen as one of the region’s great cultural attractions. In addition to getting a two for one ticket deal on a fare to and from the Ticonderoga Amtrak station, beginning May 22 rail passengers are also able to hop aboard a free shuttle to Fort Ticonderoga once they arrive at the station. The new shuttle service, which is part of a Rails to Wheels program, comes as a relief to not only tourists, but to local residents who have cringed at the sight of visitors lugging their bags up a roughly one mile stretch of road between the train station and the grounds of the fort. The shuttle is truly a team effort involving collaboration between stakeholders including Amtrak, Fort Ticonderoga, the Best Western Plus Ticonderoga Inn and Suites, the New York State Department of Transportation and the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce. The Fort’s beautiful gardens, interactive exhibits and majestic views will all be more accessible thanks to the shuttle. It’s a seemingly simple investment to put one extra vehicle out on the road. On the surface, there’s no direct monetary impact. But it undoubtedly will make visitors feel a little bit more welcome. As anyone who has ever felt welcome -- or unwelcome -- in an unfamiliar place can attest, the little things truly matter. Yes, this partnership will concretely allow visitors to remove questions about renting cars and hailing cabs. There’s also something to be said for placing a smiling face in a waiting vehicle for visitors at the end of a long train ride. That type of Adirondack hospitality is sure to help spread the Fort’s story. In boasting the transportation initiative last week, Fort Ticonderoga president and CEO Beth Hill said the partnership would help improve the region as a whole. She and other officials said the first-of-its kind program could serve as an example for other places around the Adirondacks. Officials mentioned no specific places or attractions that might be ripe for another shuttle. That’s understandable. Some analysis of the new shuttle service and thought should go into deciding whether it should be duplicated. Yet with the summer season heating up for 2015, the time is ripe for regional business groups to dig in and assess if they could create similar shuttle programs in 2016 and beyond.

ocal, home grown businesses in our rural areas provide so much more to the stability of our community economy than many realize. The value of keeping dollars at home, invested in local real estate, supporting community events and people, while providing the engine for everything local is the foundation upon which this country was built. Prior to the year 2000, small businesses created more jobs than large corporations. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Burdened by student loans and the fear of failure Dan Alexander coupled with the security of the government safety nets, Thoughts from the number of young entrepreneurs staking their future on Behind the Pressline themselves has seriously fallen off from previous generations. Tougher government regulations, health insurance, and human resource practices have imposed an overhead that is more easily spread across larger enterprises than small mom and pops, which only further serves to discourage new business start ups. Those start up businesses create excitement and enthusiasm. New entrepreneurs full of fresh ideas looking to conquer the world served as incubators for the next generation of Apples, Googles and Sam’s Corner Stores. Those news businesses also populated our main streets and kept dollars flowing throughout the community as they grew, invested, borrowed and hired. It’s that segment of the economy that is sorely missing today. The big guys in our communities play a valuable role, but they are few and far between and this column is not meant to slight their contribution to our economy. It’s the small businesses with their creative approaches and enthusiastic drive that brings out the best in a community. Small businesses face daunting challenges from nearly every angle and the potential risk of losing everything lies in nearly every important decision they make, from location and hiring to marketing and cash management. But no other career challenge can provide the same level of satisfaction as owning your business. Increasing minimum wage, government handouts and more student debt will not bring prosperity back to our communities. I’m not referring to trickle down economics but instead upward matriculation of economic prosperity as a result of spreading the wealth around to a much larger pool of local owners who have a vested interest in the community while inspiring others to follow their lead. When only mega companies and government jobs prevail our economies will remain anemic. Again, we need those large stable industries and government entities but this country’s historical roots and growth periods have always been when the little businesses are multiplying and thriving. The American dream provided everyone an equal opportunity to write their own ticket. Nothing was guaranteed but you gambled on your own skill, sweat and never say die attitude. Failure was just as likely as success, but lessons learned the first time around only served to stoke the fire when the next opportunity presented itself. There was time when that pioneer spirit made this country the grandest experiment the world had ever seen and unless we rekindle that spirit, I fear our future is look-alike big box businesses and government supported entities. But just like the Oreo cookie, it’s all that good stuff in the middle between those big cookies that we really crave and makes all the difference. Our communities and the economic vitality we are lacking these days is waiting for the American entrepreneur to get back into the fray and put this nation back on track. They can’t do it alone they need our support and encouragement. Please support our local businesses and remember how valuable they are to all of us who call this area home.

Letter to the Editor
Disagrees with part of column To the Editor: While I agree with Dan Alexander that the Military Religious Freedom Foundation is being absurdly heavy-handed in their objection to Air Force Major General Craig Olson’s offi cial proselytizing (the subject of Mr. Alexander’s May 23 Publisher’s Column), I object to his stepping well beyond the historical facts about our nation in his eagerness to condemn Ð or should I say damn? Ð this secular group. Contrary to Mr. Alexander’s assertions, there is no “importance of this nation under God” to recognize, and vigilance on behalf of secular government in the United States is not an attempt “to reshape the vision of the founding fathers.Ó In case Mr. Alexander is unaware, Ò under GodÓ was not in our nation’s Pledge of Allegiance from the start; it was added in 1954 by a Congress that wanted to appear to be doing something in response to the public hysteria Joseph McCarthy whipped up by claiming to see godless communists behind every bush. (For much the same reason, Congress changed the offi cial motto of the United States from “E pluribus unum” to “In God We Trust” in 1956. At the height of the Cold War, who would dare vote against such demagogic legislation?) Indeed, as has been pointed out countless times to people attempting to redefi ne our country as fundamentalist Christian, God is mentioned nowhere in the Constitution.
Religion is addressed there, though, and perhaps it’s worth revisiting what the Constitution has to say about it. From the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.Ó Because even back then that wasn’t clear enough for some people, Thomas Jefferson subsequently clarifi ed further in his famous “wall of separation” letter: “Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man & his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.” Mr. Alexander is certainly entitled to use his position as publisher of a newspaper to write on behalf of his personal beliefs, but on behalf of his readership he should endeavor to get his facts straight.

Open an umbrella as Walk of HOPE approaches By Teah Dowling
teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — It doesn’t have to rain to open an umbrella outside. The 2015 Walk of HOPE will take place June 6 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Plattsburgh City Marina. Registration starts at 1 p.m. and, with large blue umbrellas, the walk starts at 3 p.m. A live music performance by Lucid will follow. Neurodegenerative Disease is the “umbrella” term for a range of conditions that primarily affect the neurons in the brain, including ALS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and Lewy Body Dementia. The route, which is less than two miles long, will cross Bridge Street, go by City Hall, down Margaret Street to Durkee Street and back to Bridge Street to the Plattsburgh City Marina. The ALS Raising Hope Foundation hopes to raise $100,000 to fund research for CURE at MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease. “Rapid advances toward treatment and cures are fi nally occurring,” said Jay LePage, president of the ALS Raising Hope Foundation. “You would be hard pressed to fi nd any family member who hasn’t been seriously impacted by a member having a neurodegenerative disorder.” As research progresses many similarities appear, which relate these disorders on a sub-cellular level. Researchers can now see that advances in one disease are likely to hold promise for the other disorders.
Umbrella-wielding walkers line the street in this photo of the 2013 Walk for HOPE. Photo Provided
So far, at least 97 percent of the money raised from all of ALS Raising Hope Foundation events (over $300,000) have gone for development of specifi c new medicines which address Neurodegenerative Disease. LePage and the foundation encourages each walker to try and raise at least $50 and use the fundraising tools on the website. A doctor and nurse from MassGeneral Institute will be available to answer questions for families from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. the day of the walk at the marina.

Family & Memorial Day
A
s I sat on our back deck soaking up the ambiance of our beloved Saranac River on Memorial Day morning, I refl ected on many things including what we once called Decoration Day. At Moira High School our band marched to every rural cemetery paying tribute to fallen service men and women. I had played trombone, but was Ò chosenÓ to carry the huge tuba in the marching band. The director told me I was the only member strong enough to haul that gigantic instrument around my neck. I was fl atby Gordie Little tered. Actually, I enjoyed the oompah sound. To this day, Kaye and I enjoy hearing all the old march tunes we learned during our marching band days. It was hardly fair, though, because she played the fl ute. If you were to ask her today, she would insist that she has always carried the heavy load in this marriage. I can’t disagree. We had out-of-town guests last weekend. Kaye’s sister “Dot” Trevor and son Mark drove up from Virginia and we asked what exciting things they wanted to do. The response: “We just want to sit on your enclosed deck and watch the river.Ó Fair enough. We have always found that this little piece of paradise tends to inspire introspection. Spending time out here causes us to recall and compare childhood memories growing up in the North Country. It was fun listening to Kaye and Dorothy repaint scenes from Morrisonville, Altona, Saranac Lake, Lake Colby and elsewhere. Those charming conversations inevitably lead to recollections of grandparents and great grandparents. They sometimes had colorful discussions about who begat whom. Some are more fortunate than I in that regard. Since my mother was the youngest of seven children, I never got to know my own grandparents. The subject got around to genealogy. Thanks to my friends in and outside the Northern New York American-Canadian Genealogical Society housed in Dannemora, I have learned a lot about my own family tree. I was given help tracing my mother’s maiden name of Requa and my Little surname. My own efforts had been pathetic in that regard. Accolades to those who offered expert assistance all along the way. For example, Julie Dowd recently pointed me toward information indicating that one of my ancestors helped to invent a rather fantastic gun during the American Civil War. It featured multiple barrels which could all be fi red at the same time. I watched a video demonstration and it fi guratively blew me away. Mark Trevor and other family members have been busy tracing their roots back into antiquity. While they were here, we had great fun dragging out ancient marriage certifi cates and other documents as we plugged more family history into the family records. The Internet has brought to our computer screens almost instant access to data from around the world that we could only have dreamed about when we marched to those cemeteries. Those were the days when newspapers, radio and telephone party lines were our main sources of information. Mark is an IT wizard. That stands for information technology for the uninitiated. His nimble fi ngers fl ew across the screen of his latest iPhone 6 plus, or whatever the heck it’s called. We watched in awe as he plugged in new information that will be shared, not only by his family, but by future generations to infi nity. I bless those who work diligently on genealogy for themselves and others and thank all the people who have enriched us through their study of the past to give us perspective in the future. I’ve always said our lives are like the connect-the-dots pages from our childhood coloring books. As we draw the line from the fi rst number to the last, the picture begins to be revealed and helps give us meaning. My Uncle Glode Requa served in World War One. He returned to tell me his stories while he worked in his Monsey, NY vegetable garden. Kaye’s and Dot’s brother, Alfred Vaughan, Jr, died serving his country in Italy during the next war. He didn’t make it home. We must never forget his sacrifi ce and all the others.

Together but not: Frank and Carol Hochreiter exhibit ‘Duet’ By Teah Dowling
teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Strand Center for the Arts announces a new exhibit, “Duet,” featuring work by Frank and Carol Hochreiter from June 5-27. Carol is an experimental abstract and nonobjective painter who works intuitively and enjoys using unexpected materials and textures to express herself through her art. Ò I start out and I have no clue sometimes and sometimes I do,Ó Carol said. Ò I like to play with it.Ó Frank’s photos encompass an eclectic mix of images. Many are of sculptural and geometric subjects with an emphasis on architectural form, overlapping shadows and the reflections they produce. “I’m constantly looking at the rectangles and just shapes,Ó Frank said. Ò I like playing with the idea that the natural landscape interacts with the technology that exists out there.Ó For this show, which will feature almost 20 new works, Frank will be showcasing black and white photos while Carol will be showcasing her watercolor paintings. “The unusual thing is that we can’t put our work side-by-side because we discovered over time that if we try to hang pieces together, it just doesn’t work,” Frank said. “So, we’ll divide it up so that I’ll have one side of the gallery and she will have hers.Ó “Yeah, we don’t fight a lot,” Carol laughed. “He tells me when he doesn’t like things and I

tell him when I don’t.” This unusual arrangement started once Frank, a social studies teacher, and Carol, an English teacher first and a librarian second, retired in 2001. Carol initially went to school for art, but because of family difficulties and their disagreement in the major, she dropped her art major at SUNY New Paltz and received her undergradu-
ate and master’s degree in English. She also attended SUNY Albany, where she received another master’s degree to be a librarian. After retiring from being an English teacher for 16 years and a school librarian for 16 more, she took her first watercolor class a few years later. She began showing her art pieces in different galleries by herself about six or seven years
Stefanik bill From page 1
In a news release, Stefanik cited a building in Malone that is running the risk of collapsing into a stream. Officials have repeatedly complained about the red tape surrounding asbestos when taking down unsafe structures. “Local governments know what is best for their communities and this legislation would ensure that local governments are able to take the appropriate action when the EPA will not,Ó said Stefanik. According to the legislation, all waivers must be approved or disapproved within 90 days. Any applications not responded to within 90 days will be
deemed approved. What to do with abandoned and dilapidated buildings is a frequent topic of discussion in towns across Essex County. Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland said he supported the legislation. The North Country is bereft with blighted buildings, he said, and local governments are struggling to renovate or clear these structures. Ò It is a key impediment to successful economic development,Ó Gillilland said in an email. Ò Nearly every town looks like a microcosm of Detroit. This legislation should help actions to renovate our towns.Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said his town’s biggest problem is the empty properties that are stuck in limbo between when someone moves out and when the bank forecloses.
ago, until she convinced Frank to join in with his photos. Frank graduated from Hartwick College with a BA and got a teaching certificate. He taught social studies for 33 years. Frank began taking photos when he was a teenager. The art department at SUNY New Paltz, along with his wife, inspired him to be more creative with his photos. In 2011, Frank agreed to show his photos for the first time with Carol’s painting in a show they called, and still call, Ò DuetÓ Ñ a one-name show with two art mediums by two artists with two different styles. Ò They work as a foil for each other,Ó said Christina Elliot, gallery coordinator for the Strand Center for the Arts. Ò I think people should come to this show to connect with their art.Ó The couple exhibits their work together regularly in a variety of venues from fine art galleries to gourmet restaurants. They are regularly on view at Anthony’s Restaurant & Bistro, Irises Cafe & Wine Bar and Delish. To meet the couple and see their art, an opening will take place at the Strand Center for the Arts at 23 Brinkerhoff St. June 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. Visit the Strand Center for the Arts from Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from June 5-27 to see their art. For more information on this event or other upcoming events, visit plattsburgharts.org or call 518-563-1604.
While total takedowns are rare, anything that can help localities is a good thing, he said. Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell said his town is facing similar problems. “There are very significant issues,” he said. This isn’t the first time the bill has been introduced: Former Congressman Bill Owens introduced this legislation last Congress, but it never moved anywhere after being referred to the Energy and Commerce Committee. Stefanik’s bill, which was co-sponsored by Dan Newhouse, will likely be referred to Energy and Commerce again soon, said a Stefanik spokesman. Going forward, he said, Stefanik will continue to work with her colleagues on both sides of the aisle to educate them on the issue and secure additional cosponsors.

MORGANTOWN, WV — In Aug. 2014, Evelyn Thomas completed the last in a long string of rigorous courses. On Dec. 19, 2014, West Virginia University bestowed upon Thomas a Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree, 71 years after she began college. And last week, she walked across the Morgantown stage for commencement, just weeks before her 90th birthday. “It is something else,” said Thomas. “I still can’t get it though my head.Ó Graduation and transfer credit fees were all that was required for her to officially graduate in 1948, but money wasn’t available to pay the fees. A diploma, however, was not required for her to find employment then because Thomas had passed a medical technology exam that allowed her to work in the field for the next 33 years. Thomas still wanted to call herself a college graduate. Her family, though, did not know about her hope to receive a diploma until a few years ago, said daughter, Lee Ann Thomas of Plattsburgh. “We knew that she had gone to college, but we didn’t realize that she accomplished so much toward her degree.Ó Determined to learn whether her mother’s academic past was still viable, Lee Ann began inquiring about her mother’s records in early 2011. She contacted the Director of Medical Laboratory Science at West Virginia University who in turn contacted the school’s registrar. “When we were contacted, we immediately began researching through our records,” wrote registrar Steve Robinson in an email.

Ò We get many requests for older enrollment records for genealogical research, but this was a first for me in that we were working with a former student (and her family) on becoming eligible for a degree many years after first enrolling at WVU.” Lee Ann had to inquire and help gather information and supporting documentation from both WVU and the Medical College of Virginia. Some of the handwritten documents found, revealed faded typed letter grades and comments on old letterhead recording Thomas’ academic progress. Evelyn Thomas Ò This was a task that seemed daunting. There were times I didn’t know if it could all be pieced together,Ó she said. Thomas attended the Medical College in Richmond, Virginia, to continue her education beyond WVU after she had eloped with her new husband Ben Thomas in 1946. There she completed a 15-month training program with credits transferring back to WVU and counting toward a degree. Once these documents were evaluated in July 2014, Thomas learned that she had earned 96 credits toward her degree, but needed to reapply to West Virginia University, transfer her credits toward a Regents Bachelors of Arts instead of medical technology, and complete a upper division science, a math and a communications course.

The math and science courses were deemed fulfilled after discussion and analysis of the math and science required to study and perform the duties of a medical technologist. The course that seemed to be the most appropriate for the communications requirement was Comm 491- Work Experience. Lee Ann was to act as a scribe and representative in this process, but formalities included obtaining Thomas’ permission in order to comply with FERPA laws and a crash course in online portfolio submission. The course portfolio houses documents that represent her life’s work - a compilation of notes, letters, pictures and correspondence from previous employers. Pictures from the 1947 edition of the medical college’s yearbook, “X-Ray,” show Thomas seated behind a microscope in a lab coat. She has also included photos from her days as a donut shop owner in Ripley, West Virginia. Thomas, who has been a resident of Plattsburgh for the past five years, lives with her daughter Lee Ann, her son-in-law Steve Heintz and grandchildren Katie, 13, and Emily, 9. Thomas has four children, lived in 8 states, and in 38 different homes due to her husband’s sense of adventure and life-long interest in new employment. Thomas’ spirit is both sweet and fierce. She has a lovely, quiet disposition, but it is no holds bar when it comes to reciting the unofficial fight song for the school she attended. “I did appreciate what it meant to be a Mountaineer,” said Thomas after reciting the fight song for me. “I have so many memories of my time there.Ó Amy Dohm is a freelance writer and a former reporter for the Arizona Daily Sun.

School budgets From page 1
“I’m disappointed with the budget fail,” Superintendent John Fairchild said. “But we knew that it was a very challenging budget that was asking a lot of the community members.” The balance achieved by the defeated budget would have maintained all athletic teams, extra-curricular activities and clubs as well as several high school electives. It’s now back to the drawing board for school officials, who will have to draft a revised budget to present to the public. The board will endeavor to maintain those items with its new spending plan, looking at the tax levy and fund balance, said Fairchild.
www.northcountryman.com School officials will meet on Tuesday, May 26 at 6 p.m. to consider how to adjust the numbers and what the contingency number would be if the second budget gets shot down by voters. “We just have to analyze the results and determine what we’re going to do in the next step,Ó said Fairchild. Fairchild was satisfied with, however, the turnout of 574 voters and the other items passed in the meeting. A proposition to expend a total of $330,000 from the General Capital Reserve Fund for CCRS/Industrial AVTS Building Reconstruction Project passed 365 to 182. A proposition to raise by tax levy $37,500 to support the Chazy Public Library passed 350 to 206 and Debbie Powers was elected as library trustee with 395 votes. Mary LaPierre received a one four-year term (402) and Kelly Andrew received a one four-year term plus six of unexpired term (363) on the school board. NORTHEASTERN CLINTON CENTRAL Similar to Chazy, NCCS’ $27,657,517 budget failed by a vote of 354 to 252. Other propositions passed, including the purchase of four buses at a total cost of $450,090 (372 to 220) and providing $10,000 to each of three community libraries in Rouses Point, Champlain and Mooers (491 to 181). Last year, the board went out with the same amount: $27,657,517. This year, the board offered the same amount because they wanted to maintain programming and they were unsure of what was to come with the Gap Elimination Adjustment. Since the policy was put into place in 2009, the district has lost over $10 million. Ò We were hit the hardest in northern New York,Ó said Superintendent Lisa Grenville. If the budget gets voted down again on June 16, the district will lose a full-time guidance counselor, 70 percent of an elementary mathematics teacher in academic intervention services for students in need of extra math help, as well as 40 percent of a home and career teacher. “It’s very concerning that people might lose their jobs and, more importantly, that students may not get the quality, well-
Published by Denton Publications, Inc. rounded education that we want them to get,Ó Grenville said. Ò We really think we have a good shot at getting what we need.Ó School board candidates Alan Cardin (430), Robert McDonough (402), Tammy Gonyo (207) and Linda Gonyo-Home (130) all won election. BEEKMANTOWN CENTRAL The $39,985,356 budget passed by a vote of 505 to 181. The proposition to sell four buses and purchase three buses, one van and one school vehicle (at a cost not to exceed $435,000), was passed 478 to 172. For the school board, there were three seats up. Candidates Catherine Buckley (457) and Michael Hagadorn (361) received four-year terms and Joseph Graziane (306) won the unexpired term. Other candidates, Jason Marsh (286) and Kenneth Maurer (225), also received positions on the board. PERU CENTRAL The $44,279,643 budget passed by a vote of 399 to 219. The proposition to purchase three school buses, at a cost not to exceed $348,000, passed with 439 to 176. Jill Folsom with 499 votes and Cynthia Mills, with 509, were elected to the school board. PLATTSBURGH CITY The $40,539,486 budget passed by a vote of 508 to 197. Leisa Boise for a three-year term with 588 votes and Steve Krieg for a two-year term with 576 votes were elected to the school board. SARANAC CENTRAL The $31,671,224 budget passed by a vote of 258 to 23. A proposition to spend up to $200,000 from the bus reserve fund to offset a portion of the cost for three 65 passenger buses passed 241 to 21. There were several write-in candidates, including Bethany Cliche (64) and Ilona Kelting (36).

Blue Bombers shoot their way to the Section VII golf title By Andrew Johnstone
andrew@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID Ñ Even as scores for the front nine were still trickling in, little was in doubt. The Section VII golf title was the Blue Bombers’ to lose. About two hours later, after a sunny, mid-60s day at Saranac Inn, it was official — the experience-laden golfers of Lake Placid were the champs. From Nos. 1 through 6, the Blue Bombers’ spread of scores was a mere seven strokes, led by Kiefer Casler’s 79. ”It’s a tough course. The greens were playing very quick,” said a seemingly relaxed Casler shortly before Lake Placid was officially crowned the champion. Ò It feels pretty good.Ó Casler’s score was second only to Saranac Lake’s Ethan Sawyer, who shot a 37 on the back nine on his way to a 76. The two schools have been neck-and-neck as of late. A year ago, the Blue Bombers edged the Red Storm in a threestroke regular season tiebreaker before the tables turned the way of Saranac Lake in sectionals. Casler was especially happy for the his head coach, John Glinski, to get the sectional win in his 16th year at the helm.

The victory came by 14 strokes, with Lake Placid shooting a 326 as a team to Saranac Lake’s 340. AuSable Valley rounded out the podium with a 349. Ó I think experience had a lot to do with it,Ó Glinski said of the players that have been to sectionals as a team three years in a row. Ò I think they handled the pressure well.Ó The Blue Bombers, who started four seniors among their top six this season, had a wealth of experience on hand. Glinski explained that in a few matches his sixth man produced the team’s low round while his seventh, with a low 40s average, could have been the No. 1 on other teams in the region. It showed on the scoresheet by day’s end. After Casler, Lucas Strack — golfing in the No. 4 spot — turned in a 81. Bjorn Kroes had an 82 at No. 1 while Miles Lussi (84), Pate Kane (86) and Ryan Kane (86) all had rounds of 18 that fell under the best scores from seven other schools. “They got us today, I think,” said Saranac Lake’s Sawyer between swings at the driving range as the final golfers made their way to the clubhouse and Lake Placid’s win was all but a formality. “They had a couple real good scores. They’re playing well.” Though the team finals are in the books, the trip to states is still up in the air. The top 24 golfers will move on to play again tomorrow for a chance to go to states at Cornell. Only the top nine will make the trip. Sawyer, who has made it to states the past two years, has a night to shift his focus from team to individual. A year ago, he led after the first day before relinquishing the overall lead the following. ”I got it by three going into tomorrow, so that should be fun,” Sawyer said with a laugh. “Last year, I kinda blew up, so I’m hoping I learned a little from that.Ó
The next day, Sawyer completed the task. He shot a 78 to push his two-day total to 154, good for a nine-stroke win over Kroes (163). The Saranac Lake senior, on his way to states for the third time, was the only golfer to shoot under 80 on the second day. Kasler, Strack and Moriah’s Joe Stahl all tied for third with 164s as Lake Placid qualified five for states. Lussi won the tiebreaker against Ryan Kane to seal his trip with Kane listed as a state alternate. Jordan Guay (Plattsburgh) and Nate Devins (AuSable Valley) rounded out the list of qualifiers. Just missing the mark where three golfers all tied with 175s in Peru’s Gavin Plimpton, Saranac Lake’s Carley Sawyer and Elizabethtown-Lewis’ Boyce Rawson. Carley Sawyer, a junior and the lone female competitor amongst the 15 schools’ top six, expressed enjoying a season of play against the boys of Section VII. ”It’s awesome. I love it,” Sawyer said at the end of the first day. “I definitely see surprised looks. I like playing with the guys. They’re super nice.” She credits her older brother with getting her into golf, a sport she started because she “pretty much wanted to do whatever he (Ethan) did.Ó Though she missed out on the trip to Cornell, she’ll have a strong shot next year as a senior-heavy top of the pack will be moving on to different greens. But for now, Glinski and his 2015 Blue Bombers squad have the chance to bask in dominant performance in both team and individual play. ”It’s just the depth,” Glinski said. “Any given day one of them could have been my medalist. That’s rare...it’s like once in a generation to get a group of kids like this.Ó
