Local Unitarian Universalist fellowship honored for community outreach Plattsburgh congregation cited for inclusiveness, acceptance

By Elizabeth Izzo REPORTER

PLATTSBURGH | It started with the chime of a singing bowl and ended with an extinguished flame.

The Plattsburgh Unitarian Universalist Fellowship’s Sunday service this past week featured an announcement that was met with wide smiles from its congregation.

The church was recently awarded the O. Eugene Pickett Award, an honor bestowed upon local congregations by the Unitarian Universalist Association for contributions to their community.

If you didn’t know the small fellowship was there, you could almost drive past it without noticing: Nestled amongst a smattering of residential buildings in a quiet downtown neighborhood, the tight-knit interfaith community is housed in a former Jewish synagogue at 4 Palmer Street.

Adorned with stained glass windows featuring symbols from all different faiths — from Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and more — the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Plattsburgh boasts a small congregation of people of all backgrounds and religions.

“One of our guiding principles is finding

truth in all religions,” said Unitarian Universalist member Michelle Ouellette. “We also honor the inherent worth and dignity of every person.”

HONORED FOR OUTREACH

Part of the catalyst for this latest O. Eugene Pickett Award — which joins the fellowship’s recent “Welcoming Congregation” designation — stems from the group’s work with refugees flooding to the North Country to seek asylum in Canada.

The Associated Press (AP) reported earlier this month that an estimated 1,174 people have crossed into Quebec, Canada just last month — that’s compared to only 180 in July 2016.

for the ways you live Unitarian Universalist values in your community, including the many ways you serve,” Unitarian Universalist Association Revs. Evin Carvill-Ziemer and Joan Van Becelaere wrote, in a letter of congratulations to the congregation.

“You are an embodied example of the best that our faith has to offer the world.”

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Plattsburgh will hold its next service, featuring the Rev. Christina Sillari from First Parish in Portland, on Aug. 27 at 10 a.m.

For more info, visit uuplattsburgh.org. ■

Approximately 400 people crossed the border at Roxham Road in Champlain on Aug. 6, according to the AP.

According to Plattsburgh Unitarian Universalist Fellowship President Ursula Jones, the group works with a local coalition to temporarily house refugees heading into Canada.

The fellowship has a home where they have hosted a few families for a short time.

“We’re striving to help with the influx of immigrants,” she said. “We work with others in the community to get organized, and rally people to help.”

The fellowship is currently trying to hire a minister from Montreal, she said, so they can sympathize with the difficulties and red tape that surrounds immigration.

The congregation also works with the interfaith foodshelf in Plattsburgh, contributes once a month to the community meal at Trinity Episcopal Church and more.

Candidates vie for superintendent slot Peru Central School Board of Education expected to issue decision next month

the superintendent of Penn Yann Central School District in Yates County.

By Elizabeth Izzo

A new superintendent was originally expected to be hired

by April of this year.

REPORTER

PERU | Two candidates are under consideration for the Peru Central School District (PCSD) superintendent slot.

The ongoing search for a new superintendent culminated in a series of public hearings last week.

Two candidates, Thomas Palmer and David Hamilton, made their public bid for the district’s top seat on Aug. 15-16.

The Peru Central School District Board of Education (BOE), according to BOE President Kim Mayer, is still considering which candidate will move forward into a third round of interviews.

The BOE is expected to issue their response — whether it be an appointment or notification of an expanded search — shortly after Aug. 28, according to Mayer.

The school’s last superintendent, Patrick Brimstein, resigned from his post late last year to take another job, according to Mayer.

MEET THE CANDIDATES

Palmer, who has served as the Superintendent of Schools for Tri-Valley Central School District in Sullivan County for 10 years, spoke Aug. 16 about his vision for the future of PCSD. The candidate said his top priority is bolstering the district’s graduation rates and inspiring students to be what he calls “lifelong learners.”

Last year, 11 percent of PCSD students dropped out of school.

For Palmer, a 79 percent graduation rate isn’t enough — he wants to see that number at 100 percent.

One path toward that perfect score is through early intervention services for struggling students, he said. That means speaking with kids even before they reach their senior year.

Hamilton could not be reached for comment before this edition went to print on Tuesday afternoon.

“(We) hope to have a decision soon after that,” Mayer said.

For more information on Peru Central School, visit perucsd.org. ■

ONGOING

When that timeline didn’t pan out, an interim superintendent — Cynthia Ford-Johnston — was appointed in May to serve in place of Brimstein.

“The plan has always been to have a superintendent in place prior to January,” Mayer told The Sun, in an email.

“We do have the ability to extend Mrs. Ford-Johnston’s agreement until June if we need, however, we hope it doesn’t come to that.

“We would like to have a permanent person in place!”

Six candidates have gone through the interview process thus far, Mayer said — but no one has been appointed yet.

The last round of public hearings, which featured presentations from three candidates, were held in March.

After hearing proposals for the future of the school from candidates Linda Doty, Rick Moore and Christopher Quinn, the BOE and Champlain Valley Educational Services (CVES) decided to pass on all three.

“We didn’t feel they were the right fit,” Mayer told The Sun.

The BOE is expected to announce how they will move forward with the superintendent search shortly after Aug. 28.

Following the resignation of Superintendent Patrick Brimstein last year, the Peru Central School District Board of Education has been seeking a replacement. Candidates Thomas Palmer — pictured left — and David Hamilton — pictured right — spoke to community members last week about their vision for the future of the school district.

“It’s all about the children,” he said.

Palmer also wants to see more students involved with the community.

He spoke briefly about his experience with coordinating hands-on work experience for students in his district.

Only the ConforMIS

“The millennials, I’ve found, don’t have those soft skills like waiting tables,” he said. “It’s important to get kids involved with real-life experience.”

CUSTOM KNEE couldfit your life

Palmer touched on a variety of other topics, including increased collaboration with SUNY Plattsburgh and Clinton Community College, and moving away from computer labs toward one-to-one devices for students.

THIS PERFECTLY.

An overarching theme to Palmer’s presentation was one of availability and transparency:

“It’s all about building public trust with stakeholders in the community,” he said. “I will have an open-door policy.”

City seeks health care broker Broker will provide services at no cost to city, Mayor says

By Elizabeth Izzo REPORTER

PLATTSBURGH | The City of Plattsburgh last Wednesday released a request for proposal (RFP) seeking health care broker services.

The broker will be responsible for coordinating and securing health care coverage for city employees and select retirees.

The city will assume no costs for the chosen broker’s services, according to Mayor Colin Read.

Tom and Joy Jubert recently donated a stage to the Village of Champlain through the Cody Sarbou Memorial Fund. The new 8 x 12 addition in Paquette Park will serve as a platform for all of the village’s existing and future musical and theater events. Photo provided by Janet McFetridge

care umbrella is “approximately 1,000,” according to the RFP.

That’s including 220 current and 240 retired employees.

The proposed term for the broker is Nov. 1 to Dec. 2018.

“We go out for RFP every few years to be sure our health care administrators are serving the city in the most competitive and best possible way,” said Read.

The RFP deadline is Sept. 15, 2017 at 2 p.m. The Common Council is expected to designate a broker on Sept. 28, with an effective date of Oct. 1.

For more information, or to view the city’s RFP, visit cityofplattsburgh.com. ■

“They earn their fees on an industry-standard commission, so we don’t pay for that directly,” Read told The Sun in an email.

Of total employee benefits, health care this year accounts for 10.5 percent of the city’s total appropriations — or $5.7 million, according to RFP documents.

Thoughts from behind the pressline

Misguided efforts In a free society, there will always be those who go against the grain of conventional thinking and those

By Dan Alexander who encourage them.

• PUBLISHER • The national media loves stories that shake the core of middle America.

Stories of this nature that include death, violence, terror, sex, confrontation and rebellion are what drive viewership. They are the fodder for social media and the basis for watercooler discussions.

When the media promotes highly charged subjects like the willful defacing of monuments meant to memorialize historic events, the average American tends to shy away from conflict and are willing to turn a blind eye to such behavior.

Let’s remember the Civil War was a horrible period in our past and black Americans were abused on both sides of the war. While slavery was at the core, the war was fought over state’s rights.

The Civil War was politically framed, much the same way we disagree today over abortion. The majority may oppose aborting a child but we argue over a woman’s right to choose.

The politics of some today want to rewrite history to fit their agenda based on today’s accepted norms.

As our nation evolves and seeks to improve from hard-earned lessons of the historical past, we must never attempt to disparage those who sacrificed everything to help us find a new level of equality and understanding.

After the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln sought to heal the wounds of war and bring all parties together. He understood that once the fighting ended and the union was saved, that change would be harder to accomplish if the south was forced to pay an even greater penalty than what they lost during the war.

For that reason, he understood that while the fighting ended, peace would only prevail if an environment of justice, commonality and harmony prevailed.

His focus was never to look back and punish the southern states but always towards the future preservation of the country.

Lincoln said it best: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

We need avoid being sidetracked with issues that do not move the nation forward.

Does what took place over 150 years ago really affect us today or does it just present an opportunity for some to further divide our nation? ■

City should reform charter to ensure employee voices are protected

All eyes are on the City of Plattsburgh as it attempts to right its sinking fiscal ship.

The city’s financial troubles have been well-documented.

An over reliance on fund balance and a pattern of deficit spending has left the Lake City’s finances in shambles and in danger of being declared fiscally stressed by the state.

As a remedy, Mayor Colin Read has mapped out a combination of shared services with the county and spending and staff reductions paired with a 2.8 percent tax increase.

Doing so, the mayor surmises, will be enough for the city to turn a corner.

Read introduced his proposed 2018 budget last month, and the Plattsburgh Common Council has until January to finalize revisions.

The freshman mayor hasn’t minced words.

The city, he said, is at a “once in a generation” crossroads and staying on the current course will find the city “marooned on the shoals in treacherous fiscal seas.”

Read is correct that the city is headed towards an iceberg: Among other pending settlements, projected payouts to the city’s fire department union may cost up to $3.3 million within several years, and immediate opportunities to increase revenue are non-existent.

The Common Council voted to eliminate four departments last month, and Read is asking councilors to consider further reductions, bringing the city more in line to those with similar populations.

We look forward to seeing what else councilors come up with.

But we feel that the Common Council

perhaps did not have as much information as they should have owing to a structural flaw in the city’s charter.

Article III, C3-9 B limits interactions between city employees and councilors. With the exception of inquiries, all supervision and direction must run through the mayor.

The original intent seems innocent enough: Any successful organization requires streamlined management, and city employees shouldn’t receive conflicting direction from multiple sources.

But we can’t help but feel as if this lack of regular interaction may have a chilling effect on communication, leading to a reduced understanding by councilors as to how these departments actually function.

As they are well aware, the Common Council controls their fate. But discussions at Common Council meetings this summer have indicated lawmakers lack a comprehensive perspective when it comes to their overall functioning.

We saw this with the abolishment of the engineering department.

The mayor told lawmakers that engineering duties could be taken over by other cityemployed engineers in the city.

But they cannot.

The prospective replacements are not civil engineers: they’re electrical and non-certified engineers, and are therefore not qualified to take on the abolished department’s duties.

This could lead to a disproportionate leaning

Vote ‘no’ on New York constitutional convention

To the Editor: The front page story “Battle lines drawn over constitutional convention” (The Sun, Aug. 12 edition) prompts me to write and urge all voters to cast their ballot against a New York state constitutional convention.

Every 20 years, New York is required by law to ask voters whether to they want to hold a constitutional convention.

The last convention, held in 1967, was widely considered wasteful — and voters rejected the proposals that came forth.

Subsequently, voters twice rejected the option to hold conventions in 1977 and 1997. Consider this and I urge voters to again vote “no” in November on the question of holding a constitutional convention.

If a convention is approved, a series of actions must follow that will cost the taxpayers a lot of money. The League of Women Voters estimates convention costs of $300 million.

These actions include the election of three delegates by each of the 63 Senate districts, plus 15 at-large delegates. The convention would convene in April 2019 and continue for as long as deemed necessary.

Delegates pay themselves a salary and hire staff.

I question the need to pay millions of dollars in order to do something that can already be done in Albany, i.e., amend laws in the state constitution (a proposed amendment can be passed by the legislature in

on expensive contract services.

The knowledge gap only widens in the event department heads are excused or absent from meetings, putting them at a disadvantage when it comes to ensuring their survival.

To be clear: Councilors aren’t restricted from speaking to employees.

But they are discouraged from one on one interactions, and must also follow a strict regimen governing contact with employees, including email correspondence and guidelines for facilitating individual meetings.

Under our interpretation, what this effectively means is that if a councilor has a question about how a vote may impact a department, they cannot obtain information outside of the weekly meeting.

In addition to fostering a culture of surface-level understanding, this arrangement forces the council to have blind trust in the mayor when it comes to budget planning.

Read ran on a platform of fiscal accountability and public participation.

We believe him when he says he is honest about fulfilling those campaign promises.

But in order to foster a responsible budget planning process, this section of the city charter should be standardized and a new system be established to better coordinate discussion between city officials.

Doing so will ensure lawmakers are armed all the facts when faced with difficult votes.

Considering peoples’ livelihoods are at stake, they deserve nothing less. ■

Holding a constitutional convention adds one more unnecessary layer of government to our state, and I say “vote no!”

Spare us and admit you’re a climate change denier

To the Editor: In the Aug. 5 edition of The Sun, Hans Kurr wrote about climate science and climate change and I thought: “How could virtually all of our scientists be so wrong, and Mr. Kurr be so right?”

My interest piqued, I began looking at some of Mr. Kurr’s sources.

The very first one, wattsupwiththat.com, turns out to be a blog written by a well known climate change denier.

Mr. Kurr’s credo seems to be Kurr and other climate deniers: good, big league good — most scientists, President Obama, NASA, et cetera — bad.

Really?

If Mr. Kurr had been honest in his letter and simply said up front that he was also a climate denier, I could have saved the time I wasted reading the rest of the tripe.

Athol resident seeking return of lost goods

To the Editor: I need your help.

Recently, my brother was transporting my riding lawn mower and two black grasscatcher tubs to Warrensburg for repair. When he got to the Thurman Train Station, he noticed the two black tubs had fallen off the trailer somewhere between the train station and High Street in Thurman.

I figure someone has picked them up for safe keeping and would be looking for the owner.

As a senior citizen, these tubs are important. When I try to mow my lawn, they save a lot of raking and extra work. I will need them when I get my lawn mower back after being repaired.

If the good Samaritan would return them to 519 High Street and possibly leave them at the end of the driveway or by the garage, I would be very appreciative.

Thank you to the editor and neighbors for your help.

We can’t change history, but we can learn from it by walking a mile in another’s shoes.

The curators of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, designed by John Russell Pope, the same architect who built our City Hall and the MacDonough Monument, is currently producing an exhibit to put the life and times of Thomas Jefferson in perspective.

Residents band together to save city finances Concerns surface as residents seek tax rate reduction

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | With Mayor Colin Read’s budget in-hand, the Plattsburgh Common Council is ramping up budget talks this week.

But local officials aren’t the only ones taking a close look at the city’s finances.

A Citizen’s Finance Advisory Committee now has a dozen residents committed to aiding lawmakers in making what Councilman Michael Kelly (Ward 2) calls “tough choices” to avoid a large tax increase in 2018.

At the past two meetings of the committee, ideas floated by residents have varied.

Resident Sue Moore has called for the mayor to take a critical look at law enforcement and public safety union contracts — in particular, healthcare coverage and fringe benefits — while another, Don Papier, has proposed privatizing services like city refuse collection.

Papier has also requested the committee think of ways the city might grow their tax base and revenues.

Lise Davidson, a mental health worker, suggested the city avoid granting corporations large assessment reductions.

The committee has not yet issued any formal proposals to the city council or the mayor.

Lawmakers are taking note of the residents’ efforts: Councilmen Peter Ensel (Ward 4), Kelly, and Mayor Read attended the committee’s meeting on Aug. 15 and offered

insight into the city’s fiscal goals for 2018.

More councilors are expected to sit in at the committee’s meetings in the coming weeks.

“We’ve been overspending $1.2 million, and operating at a structural deficit,” Read told the committee.

When the fund balance had started to decline in 2010, the city did not change their spending habits, he said.

“We didn’t adjust, we just kept spending (the fund balance) down, down, down.”

Read’s proposed budget calls for a 2.85 percent tax increase. But Kelly, who initiated the committee, noted that the council was hoping to get as close to a 0 percent tax increase as possible, while still rebuilding the city’s fund balance.

Though Read has slashed a number of expenditures, the council is anticipated to make another $500,000 worth of cuts before adopting the 2018 budget.

“We’re trimming much more than last year,” said Read. “We’re not trimming around the edges anymore.

“We hope we’re on the right track for sustainable, long-term budgeting and responsible fiscal planning.”

FIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISPUTES

Davidson asked why a number of businesses in the city had been granted large tax assessment reductions in the last few years — costing the city thousands of dollars through legal fees and refunds.

filed a request to reduce their 2016 taxes by 30 percent, from $4.4 million to $3.1 million.

If approved, that request would cost the city $15,638, according to the city assessor’s office.

broken down, necessitating a series of arbitrations.

“We can’t afford not to (fight them) anymore,” Kelly said.

The PPFU was awarded $740,109 in backpay and retroactive wage increases by an arbitration panel back in July — but that only covered the years 2012-13. The contract is still not current.

“They have a stake in this, too,” he said.

The PPFU and AFSCME law enforcement unions are currently expired and up for renegotiation, according to documents shown to committee members.

Read noted that as part of ongoing efforts to share services with other municipalities and school districts, the city would seek to team up with the Plattsburgh City School District and Clinton County to combat the assessment reduction requests.

UNION NEGOTIATIONS

Sue Moore, a former union worker, suggested that the city take a close look at the contracts for the Plattsburgh Professional Firefighters’ Union (PPFU) and the AFSCME union that represents local law enforcement.

“We owe the firefighters a lot of money,” Kelly said.

The PPFU has been without a contract since 2011, according to Read.

Though the union and the city have sat down to try to negotiate a new contract while the firefighters continue to work under the Taylor Law, negotiations in the past have

“We’ve shown a great willingness to sit down and negotiate,” said Read. “We’ll see what happens in the next few months.”

In upcoming talks, resident Ira Barbell suggested renegotiating fringe benefits for the police and fire unions.

“Fringe benefits are 74 percent of the cost,” he said.

The Plattsburgh Public Library, Municipal Lighting and AFSCME city worker unions are current.

The next meeting of the Citizen’s Finance Advisory Committee is set for Aug. 29 at 5:30 p.m. For more information, those interested in joining are encouraged to contact Councilman Kelly at kellym@cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov or 518-561-0072. ■

“Corporations will bring in lawyers to challenge assessments, and it works,” said Kelly. “That’s why they do it.”

Kelly said that it comes down to resources and resolve on the city’s end to fight the claims.

Just two months ago, a South Catherine Street apartment complex, Renaissance Village,

“It was a hopping party afterward.”

At a pre-wedding reception the previous night, attendees ate down-home barbecue and enjoyed bluegrass music from a local Washington County band.

After a few toasts, Manda got up on stage, grabbed a guitar and performed “Take it Easy” from The Eagles with members of the band, said a spokesman.

“Stefanik’s family put on an almost fairy tale wedding for her,” he said.

Gillilland, who also serves as the supervisor of Stefanik’s adopted hometown of Willsboro, estimated 90 percent of attendees were personal friends of the newlyweds — not politicians.

“It was really a tremendous venue, it was gorgeous,” said Essex County Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland, who attended the ceremony with state Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) and their respective wives.

The spokesman declined to discuss possible honeymoon plans, citing privacy concerns.

But he did confirm that there will be no Rep. Manda — the congresswoman is keeping her name, and will continue to reside in Willsboro.

The lawmaker shared numerous photos on Instagram.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

The pair arrived to the reception in Stefanik’s father’s 1960s vintage Corvette.

“Magical evening,” Stefanik wrote on a post that showed the couple cutting their wedding cake, which was flecked with scarlet-colored confectionery rose petals.

Manda, 34, works as a marketing and communications director in Alexandria, Virginia, for the Media Group of America, which owns and operates the Independent Journal Review, a news website.

The University of Kansas graduate previously worked as the communications director for Rep. Kevin Yoder, a Kansas Republican, and as the political director for 2010 campaign for U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, according to the Times.

The couple met through mutual friends in January 2012 at a Washington, D.C. party hosted by Stefanik.

Stefanik worked in the White House from 2006-09 as part of President George W. Bush’s Domestic Policy Council Staff and in the chief of staff ’s office

“It was beautiful outside and was perfect,” Stefanik told the Glens Falls Chronicle. “He reminded me Lake Placid was the very first place I took him when he visited upstate the first time when we first started dating. We had a great dinner and fun time celebrating and calling family and friends.”

Stefanik also passed another milestone this summer when Fortune included her on their prestigious “40 Under 40” list.

At No. 25, the lawmaker tied with Seth Moulton, a fellow Harvard-educated representative from Massachusetts.

The young lawmakers are ranked between Susan Fowler, the former Uber engineer whose essay about sexual harassment at the ride-sharing giant led to a shareholder revolt, and Dmitri Alperovitch, the CTO and cofounder of cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike.

“Truly honored to be included on this list,” Stefanik wrote on Twitter. ■

After a stint with Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s presidential campaign, Stefanik served as communications director for the Foreign Policy Initiative and aided then vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan with debate preparations.

Following the 2012 election that saw former President Obama win a second term, Stefanik returned to the capital region to work for her family’s plywood business.

She was fi rst elected to Congress in 2014, becoming the youngest-ever woman to do so.

Manda proposed to Stefanik during a trip to Lake Placid last summer, and the pair announced their engagement in October.

Cumberland Head Elementary welcomes new principal

10," 0(

PhllUUit~

Darcy Stoutenger has been appointed to the school’s top seat

By Elizabeth Izzo REPORTER

Plattsburgh to tighten up scrutiny of housing complexes

BEEKMANTOWN | Darcy Stoutenger has been appointed as the new principal of Cumberland Head Elementary.

The Beekmantown Central School District Board of Education (BOE) appointed Stoutenger to the position at a special meeting last week.

Her predecessor, Garth Freshette, recently retired, according to Stoutenger.

“Cumberland Head has a very good reputation for being a state of the art school with a lot of extremely talented and devoted teachers,” Stoutenger told The Sun. “I want to continue in that fashion.”

Amendment comes on tailwinds of controversial Melody Lane project

Stoutenger, who currently lives in Plattsburgh, has worked at Davis Elementary in Malone for the past 15 years. She specializes in reading and pre-K literacy.

“I want to make sure our parents, families and children have a wonderful, positive school experience,” she said.

According to documents obtained through the BOE, Stoutenger’s salary is set at $85,000 for the 2017-18 fiscal year. Her term will run through Aug. 20, 2021.

By Elizabeth Izzo REPORTER

As for what Stoutenger is most looking forward to as part of her new role:

PLATTSBURGH | A proposed zoning amendment that would allow the Town of Plattsburgh Planning Board to subject certain housing complexes to additional scrutiny is coming down the pike.

“I’m looking forward to greeting each of (the students) on their first day of school,” she said. “That will be exciting.”

For more information on Cumberland Elementary and the Beekmantown Central School District, visit bcsdk12.org. ■

The Plattsburgh Town Board has set the hearing for Sept. 7, according to town

Planning Technician Malana Tamer.

This amendment comes after a controversial Melody Lane housing complex was approved in April, despite resident uproar.

Tamer said that the new amendment is in response to that case — somewhat.

“It’s kind of in response to that,” she said. “The board was a little confused as to what they could do and say. It’s been said for a long time that (this type of project) should be looked at.”

For example, the new zoning ordinance amendment will give the planning board more power to place greater consideration on how a project could impact other single-family communities in the area.

That’s above the normal considerations like a project’s impact on traffic, according to Tamer.

“We’re not saying that (those projects) aren’t allowed,” she said. “Just that (the planning board) will be looking more closely.”

With any hope, this amendment will allow the planning board to avoid conflict with projects in the future, she said.

Senior Planner Trevor Cole was unable to be reached for comment before this edition went to print on Tuesday.

For more information on the public hearing, visit townofplattsburgh.com or call the town’s planning department at 518-562-6850. ■

GRANDPARENT-GRANDCHILD

RELATIONSHIPS A study from researchers at Boston College discovered that emotionally close ties between grandparents and adult grandchildren reduced depressive symptoms in both groups.

In the not-so-distant past, extended families were the norm, with multiple generations residing on the same street if not in the same house.

Today the family unit is largely an amalgam of different situations. The rise of two-income families has pressured parents into finding childcare situations. Quite often grandparents once again step in to offer guidance and support for youngsters. This can be a good thing for both the grandparents and the grandchildren.

parent-grandchild relationships were associated with benefits including fewer emotional and behavioral problems and fewer difficulties with peers.

Adult and grandchildren alike benefit from relationships with their elders. Grandparents can provide a connection and exposure to different ideas while providing a link to family history and knowledge regarding traditions and customs not readily available elsewhere.

Nurturing grandparent-grandchild experiences may be easy for families where grandparents live in the same house or close by. For others, it may take some effort. The following are some ways to facilitate time spent together.

Although a bevy of psychological research focuses on parent-child relationships, new evidence points to the benefits of the grandchild-grandparent relationship as well.

Close relationships between these different demographics is often a sign of strong familial ties.

• Schedule regular family reunions or get-togethers. Host or plan multi-generation events that bring the family together and expose children to various members of their family.

A study from researchers at Boston College discovered that emotionally close ties between grandparents and adult grandchildren reduced depressive symptoms in both groups. Research at the University of Oxford among English children between the ages 11 and 16 found that close grand-

• Promote one-on-one time. Have grandchildren spend time with grandparents in intimate settings. Alone time can be good for both and offers each undivided attention. A meal at a restaurant or time spent

doing a puzzle or craft can be interesting to both generations involved.

• Video chat when possible. If distance makes frequent visits challenging, use technology to bridge that gap. Send photos, letters and electronic communications.

Tech-savvy grandparents can use Skype or Facetime to stay in touch and speak one-onone with their grandchildren.

Medicare+Medicaid= More Benefits for You!

• Share skills with each other. Either generation can play teacher to the other.

Grandparents may have certain skills, such as baking, sewing or wood crafts, they can impart that may not be readily taught today.

Children can help grandparents navigate computers, video games or sports activities.

Grandchildren can help grandparents feel younger, and grandchildren can learn new experiences from their grandparents.

» Rebellion Cont. from pg. 1 “The Third Age Adult Day Center gives us that light in a very dark situation,” said Cronk-Duquette. “Their services have helped our family so much.

“That’s why we formed Ellen’s Rebellion... to give back and raise awareness.”

Last Friday, Ellen’s Rebellion and Papa’s Crew, another local fundraising team, hosted the Run to Remember in an effort to raise awareness of dementia and Alzheimer’s.

“The cases of dementia and Alzheimer’s are growing in numbers every year, but nobody talks about it,” Cronk said. “We are trying awareness and bring the conversation to the surface.”

Around 50 participants of all ages met in the U.S. Oval and walked (or ran) around the Old Base in honor of their loved ones who suffer from memory loss and the caregivers who take care of them.

One of which was Debbie Frederick, founder of the fundraising team Papa’s Crew and Run to Remember.

Frederick, along with her brother, Rob Hoffman, started both in their father’s memory in 2010 after he passed away the previous year.

» Donation Cont. from pg. 1 To honor the business’ contribution, one of the new classrooms at the IAM will be named the “ETS Electronics Technology Lab.” “As ETS strives to stay on top of evolving trends, we’re ready to take on the future of staffing with an array of exciting new tools,” said President and CEO of ETS Deb Cleary.

ETS has recently invested in systems and technology to bring the most advanced tools to source top talent to fill the excellent opportunities that North Country employers offer, Cleary said.

www.suncommunitynews.com

Since then, Papa’s Crew has raised $7,200 for the TAADC. They’ve raised about $200 so far this year.

This year, Papas Crew doesn’t have a monetary goal but an overall goal to raise awareness of the disease and get people to participate in this year’s Alzheimer’s Walk, which is slated for Sept. 24.

“People should participate in the walk to show support for the caregivers that care for people with Alzheimer’s,” she said. “People should come and show support for the ones who work hard every day to enhance the lives of those with Alzheimer’s.”

Ellen’s Rebellion’s next fundraiser is the Night to Remember, which will take place Sept. 16 at 4 p.m. at the Green Room on Bridge Street in Plattsburgh.

There will be a Chinese auction, music, games, a 50-50 raffle, food and giveaways.

For more information, visit the Facebook page “Ellen’s Rebellion.” To make a donation, visit firstgiving.com/fundraiser/ellensrebellion/2017. ■ Ellen’s Rebellion and Papa’s Crew hosted Run to Remember last Sunday at the U.S. Oval in Plattsburgh. Altogether, both teams raised $1,700. Photos by Teah Dowling.

“We will be rolling out technology solutions to help predict better matches between clients and candidates in the hopes of being able to make real progress in solving retention issues.”
