Tours Swarovski, calls for support for Ex-Im Bank

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ U.S. Senator Charles Schumer made his second appearance in the North Country in as many months this past week, calling for local support for the Federal Export-Import Bank.

The Export-Import Bank, known in Washington parlance as the Ex-Im Bank, provides low interest loans to foriegn companies who buy products from United States exporters.

Representatives from two of those exporters, PlattsburghÕ s Swarovski Lighting Company and Plattco, were on hand with Schumer for his hastily arrainged press conference, held at Swarovski. Ò There are many businesses throughout New York State

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The night shift staff at the CVPH Emergency Care Center (ECC) may look to the curious visitor more like a busy ant colony than the well oiled medical machine that it ultimately is.

From the outside, the place appears to operate just a step above the level of organized chaos. On the inside, though, each of the ants does their specific job, and every job leads to the next step along the care continuum.

Working in an environment where some nights they might see five patients, and other nights 65, all the while working when the rest of the world is asleep, builds a sense of teamwork that sets the ECC apart from many other departments in the hospital.

Much like the police and fire services, members of the ECC have to rely on each other to cover each otherÕ s backs, with the care of the patient being the ultimate goal. Ò At night in the ER weÕ re really tight,Ó says Gary Barcomb, Clinical Operations Supervisor at CVPH. Ò We donÕ t operate with the same resources that they have during the day.Ó Just before Barcomb’s nightly pre-shift briefing, the ECC pares down from three care teams of nurses and doctors to two. Barcomb reviews each patient coming into the ECC and decides

SUNY Plattsburgh renovations progress steadily Energy-efficiency at heart of most projects

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ SUNY Plattsburgh is in the midst of a serious face-lift, and better energy efficiency will be one of the end results of all their work.

Three major renovations projects are currently under way, at Hawkins, Yokum and Mason Halls, with other smaller projects in the works as well. Much of the campus is lined with chain linked fences and hard-hatted workers patrol the campus like worker bees.

The Hawkins Hall infrastructure project, one of their most aggressive projects is on hold until May 18, but the iconic pond remains closed while water lines under the pond are replaced.

The Yokum Hall project will include new communications equipment for the television and radio communications classes. Work on Mason Hall will consist of a complete guy and rebuild of the building.

Many of the projects include components, such as added insulation on roofs and more energy efficient windows, to try to lower heating and cooling bills at the school.

“We’re beefing up the insulation of all our roofs when we rehab them to hopefully save on our heating costs,Ó said Facilities Director Kevin Roberts. “We just finished window replace-

ment in eight buildings, for energy efficiency and make them more weather tight.Ó Funding for projects is from the collegeÕ s regular construction fund, but they have received grants in recent years to install metering systems to monitor water, electrical and hot water usage in all the college buildings.

Metering has recently become mandatory at all SUNY run campuses, but SUNY Plattsburgh doesnÕ t have to scramble to get it done because they already completed the job, said Roberts.

In another recently completed project, SUNY Plattsburgh re-lined all their sewer and drain lines going out to city streets. Rather than ripping up existing pipes Roberts said, a system was used where existing lines had an inflatable tube run through them and inflated. Plastic was then injected into the void between the balloon and the existing pipe, which becomes new pipe once it hardens.

Another major renovation project is slated to start in May at Sibley Hall, which will ultimately house a new Center for Neuro-Behavioral Health Services. Ò WeÕ ve secured a $7.3 million grant to do that project,Ó said Roberts. Ò WeÕ re hoping to pull the money together from our own funding sources to get started on that.Ó For the amount of projects the school has undertaken, Roberts says they have experienced very few problems. Ò Nothing thatÕ s out of the norm for doing construction. Things have gone pretty smoothly so far.Ó

Local man DARE’s to smuggle drugs

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ DARE to hide your drugs in a stuffed lion wearing a D.A.R.E. shirt.

ThatÕ s what state police say a Plattsburgh man did this past week at the Greyhound bus station in Plattsburgh. They say that Gregory Bolognese, 22, was found in possession of approximately two grams of marihuana, approximately .6 grams of cocaine, and two strips of paper that contained LSD. These items were found inside an animal dressed in a D.A.R.E. t-shirt.

Bolognese was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance seventh degree, and unlawful possession of marihuana. He was arraigned in the Town of Plattsburgh court and committed to the Clinton County Jail in lieu of $500 cash bail.

Bolognese is to reappear in the Town of Plattsburgh Court at a later date to face the charges.

Harvest Bounty Food Swap coming to Plattsburgh

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The fourth annual Harvest Bounty Food Swap and Potluck will take place Saturday, Sept. 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Ò I started this through the Plattsburgh Community Garden Group, and I got involved with them four years ago,Ó said Melissa Hart, organizer of the event and volunteer at the North Country Food Co-op. Ò ItÕ s usually pretty informal, and it works out pretty well.Ó Ò As part of community gardening, we were just looking for other ways to get gardeners and local food enthusiasts connecting more with each other.Ó Ô FOOD GALOREÕ During this event hosted by and located at the North Country Food Co-op, locavores and foodies can share, swap and taste a variety of dried, canned or fresh foods. Ò At the end of the season, you may have a bumper crop of something like squash or carrots and maybe your friend has a ton of tomatoes, so you can get together and swap out your extras,Ó Hart said. Ò ItÕ s a way to get some extra garden veggies and also get rid of the stuff that you have too much of.Ó Locals are allowed to bring foods that are canned or fresh as long as they follow regular food safety guidelines. Frozen foods are not allowed.

Also, food lovers can enjoy a potluck lunch of different types of hot or cold harvest inspired delights, such by HartÕ s quiche, made by any locals willing to make and bring a dish. Ò You donÕ t necessarily need to be a gardener or a canner to participate in the event,Ó Hart said. Ò ItÕ s just for anybody into local food and wanting to meet other people.Ó This event is free, and it is sponsored by the Plattsburgh Community Garden Group. Ô GARDEN GROUPÕ The Plattsburgh Community Garden Group has been around since 2009, offering 60 plots for gardening, skill training, community garden tools and fun, starting originally in Melissa Penfield Park.

The group was established by a group of volunteers who wanted to create allotment style community gardens in and around the City of Plattsburgh to build community, provide an enjoyable and safe place to grow crops, gather as friends and learn the techniques of successful gardening.

Attempting to make the community a better and healthier place, the group creates events to celebrate the gardening season, including a seed swapping event at the start of the season and the Harvest Bounty Food Swap and Potluck at the end of the season.

If anyone would like to attend the food swap and potluck, contact Hart at 518-645-6985. If anyone would like to know more about the

Plattsburgh Community Garden Group, visit their website at plattsburghcommunitygarden. org. Information about the North Country Food Co-op is available at their website at northcountryfoodcoop.com.

Ò This is a great way to get together at the end of the gardening season and just pair notes with other gardeners and share recipes and canning tips,Ó Hart said. Ò ItÕ s fun to get together.Ó

Publisher’s Column

A bridge is a better option Enemies at the doorstep

1826 called, and they want their ferry back.

ThatÕ s the year that the Champlain Transportation Company, now the Lake Champlain Transportation Company, was first incorporated in Vermont. Today we have other, more environmentally friendly options for crossing from New York to Vermont Ñ they are called bridges.

Perhaps in the early to mid 1800s it wasn’t feasible to try to build a bridge spanning the whopping 2.1 miles from Cumberland Head to Grand Isle, but times have changed. A two mile bridge is something for an engineering 101 class, not the kind of impediment to progress that has hamstrung the people of the Champlain Valley since before the Civil War. What, has kept that bridge from being built? Political apathy on the part of our local, state and federal politicians? The difficulty of two states getting together on an infrastructure project? What?

The last time the issue came up in any serious manner, it was argued that there is a bridge just up the road in Rouses Point. Anyone who doesn’t want to pay the $10, one way, for a single occupant car, can just take the bridge. Unfortunately, however, Rouses Point isnÕ t just up the road. In fact, the trek to the Rouses Point bridge for those who reside in the greater Plattsburgh area adds almost 60 miles each way to the trip. That’s two hours, and 4.8 gallons of gas (at 25 miles per gallon...which not all cars or trucks get). If Ô driving aroundÕ was in fact a viable option, then why was there such a rush to re-build the Crown Point bridge when it was condemned? Why werenÕ t the people who usually take that bridge just told to take the Essex ferry? The reason is because it doesnÕ t make any sense to take a ferry when a bridge can be built.

And where are our environmental friends on the issue? We currently have the option of dieselspewing behemoths slogging back and forth across the lake 24 hours a day, or driving an extra 120 miles to make the trip. Is there any doubt that a bridge, consisting of a four mile round trip, would make so much more sense that itÕ s almost criminal that nobody is out hugging that tree for all their worth?

Some have argued that Vermont is too poor to pick up their share of the bridge. New York had to pick up about 75 percent of the Crown Point bridge after all. Well why shouldn’t New York just pick up the tab? The Burlington area has jobs...lots of them. The New York side of the Champlain Valley needs jobs, badly. With a bridge, it would be viable for New Yorkers to take jobs in Vermont.

Several do now. Just check the number of New York plated second vehicles parked on the Vermont side of the ferry. Also, all the people who do work in Vermont wouldnÕ t need to buy a second car to keep on the Vermont side of the ferry. Another win for New Yorkers.

Not to mention shopping. Plattsburgh has a dearth of good shopping. With a bridge, New Yorkers would flock to Burlington more than they already do to shop in Vermont. Now a family of four has to invest about an extra $40 to their trip. For most families on our side of the lake that amount makes the trip not worth taking.

So why havenÕ t our politicians taken up the issue of building a Plattsburgh bridge. Is it more proof that the North Country is out of sight, out of mind? Would it take too much political capital for the small amount of Champlain Valley people it would benefit?

So what about a toll bridge? Then the ferry company could still make money, only not at a rate of maybe $2 a car instead of $10. Let New York bankroll the bridge, and give the ferry company a 50 year lease. Surely Andrew Cuomo, who has been throwing money around upstate like a drunken sailor on leave, could find some more money to throw into a bridge up here. And how about some federal love while weÕ re at it? Where do our federal representatives stand on the matter? Since neither of the major party candidates for US Congress are actually from the district, weÕ re sure itÕ s not forefront in their minds. Do either even know that there is a ferry still running in the 21st century.

A Plattsburgh to Grand Isle bridge will likely never happen in our lifetime, but why not at least have the conversation? You can drive on a bridge all the way to Key West, but not Grand Isle, Vermont. That just doesnÕ t equate. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Supervisor: Assessment down at Frontier Town To the Editor: I would like to respond to some of the comments in the recent editorial George MooreÕ s attorney responds.

It is correct that George Moore has paid his taxes since he purchased the property in 2004. I do not think that issue has ever been questioned. What was not pointed out however is that after ten years of ownership, the assessment on the A frame property, as it is often referred to, was grieved shortly after the auction in May of 2014.

It was assessed at $524,800. As a result of the grievance, the property is now assessed at $275,000 land value. No value is assigned to any improvements on the property, including the A frame. This will result in a significant reduction in his tax.

Interestingly, I went to the website of the real estate agency who lists the property and the asking price remains at $549,000.

It has not sold in ten years at that price, and higher. If the A frame building has no value after ten years of neglect, why would anyone expect a sale now?

I would expect to see it there ten years from now, still unsold. The largest parcel of the contested properties is assessed at $550,000, also with almost no value to improvements, almost all value to the land. Is it not too far a reach that this assessment will also be grieved, that the assessment will be lowered, once again resulting in lower taxes being paid?

The second issue mentioned was the Ò controversial manner in which the county rejected the highest bidder at the public auction.Ó I have stated before that the Town of North Hudson began negotiations with the county to acquire this property as far back as November 2013. The Frontier Town/Republic Steel Task Force was assigned with the task of providing a recommendation to the full Board of Supervisors as to how to best proceed with sale of those properties.

That recommendation was to combine four of the Frontier Town parcels and establish a minimum reserve bid of taxes owed for the property as of the April 30 sale date. That was estimated to be a little more than $146,000. The recommendation of the Task Force was accepted by the full Board of Supervisors.

Both the Plattsburgh Press-Republican and Denton Publications reported the details in March. This information was available to the public; it was not a secret or part of some clandestine plan.

As it seems apparent to me that these publications are indeed read by Mr. MooreÕ s attorney, it seems unlikely to me that the minimum reserve on this property was a complete surprise, even though it was unfortunately not mentioned at the auction.

Additionally, the terms of the contract clearly state that the Board of Supervisors may accept or reject any bid for any reason. I am told that this was also announced at the auction and so should have been clear to everyone. I cannot see how that is even an arguable point. It should also be pointed out that, as the Town of North Hudson had for months expressed interest in the property, the Board of Supervisors agreed to reopen discussion with North Hudson if the property did not sell at auction at the reserve price.

To insinuate that this was some back door, clandestine plan hatched by the Board of Supervisors after the auction is ludicrous. It is false information that has no basis of validity.

On the contrary, a review of the minutes would prove beyond reproach that the Board of Supervisors actions were just the opposite.

As to the issue of the lot in the parking lot of the A frame that was also to be auctioned, I wrote two letters to Mr. Moore informing him of the upcoming auction and that it was our hope that he would acquire that lot, thereby making that property whole.

Lastly, as to the offer of compromise made by Essex County, the county offered 3 of the 4 properties to George Moore.

The fourth property, and largest, was to be subdivided with the Town of North Hudson receiving the property west of Frontier Town Road, consisting of the large parking lot and former town itself, and George Moore would receive that property east of Frontier Town Road, consisting of all of the Route 9 frontage, including the former motel and restaurant.

The restaurant is condemned and will have to be demolished.

Also asked for was an easement over and through two roads from the Frontier Town property, across the property he owns, to the Blue Ridge Road.

The counter offer stated that, Ò he is willing to assure the County of Essex and the Town of North Hudson, that he will allow access to the snowmobile trail over tax map parcel number125.1-1.21 (the disputed lands), as well as the adjoining parcel of land which is already owned by his family LLC, as long as he reserves the right to relocate the trail anywhere else on his land at any time he or the then current owner of the land believes that the current location interferes with the use and enjoyment of the lands.Ó

This does not sound like a Ò permanent easement for the snowmobile trailÓ as stated in his recent letter to the editor.

In fact, the recommendations for that compromise were the minimum that I felt would ensure a permanent, long-term use of the lands for recreational uses.

It is clear that the counter offer made from George Moore did not ensure a permanent, long-term opportunity for the Town of North Hudson.

Ronald Moore, North Hudson supervisor

Bridge closure information false To the Editor: Please be advised that it has been brought to our attention that someone has posted information on social media regarding the closing of Stickney Bridge Road from 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. for the next couple of weeks for construction.

This information is FALSE. It is true that Essex County will be working on the Stickney Bridge Road. However, there are NO anticipated closings except in the event that an uncontrolled circumstance arises.

However, delays in traffic flow may occur.

Many constituents have shared this information via social media and there have been multiple calls to the Town of Jay and Essex County Offices regarding this announcement.

Please be advised that as in the past, and as always, in the event of an anticipated road closing the Town of Jay, Essex County will make public announcements and post message boards outlining the event well in advance of any closures.

Notices of this type will come from the Town of Jay and/or Essex County and rest assured, all town, county and state emergency officials would be notified of any impending closures well in advance.

Chris Garrow, Essex County DPW Director

Supports land purchase To the Editor: Trying to change the focus of a pertinent issue before an election has always been a ploy by desperate politicians and that seems to be the case with Mr. George MooreÕ s attorney.

The fact that Mr. Russell continues to desperately argue about what the county has done, attempts to take the focus off of Mr. MooreÕ s ( George ) inability to attract a buyer, a developer, or himself develop the Frontier Town property he already owns.

It took the spotlight of the press to get Mr. Moore to do basic grounds keeping that hadnÕ t been done in years.

Mr. Moore takes any criticism as a personal affront as opposed to working to correct mistakes made, and join the community to work together.

Yes Mr. Moore has paid his taxes, and yet his property has been devalued to the point that the A frame will be condemned.

All on his watch.

The town of North Hudson I believe stands by itÕ s elected officials. Our town, its supervisor and the town board work hard to benefit the town’s future. Sure there are disagreements, but all of us want the same thing, a better future for our town and for future generations to come.

Dan Snyder, North Hudson

Literacy Services Leads to Opportunity, Strong Communities To the Editor: As the new school year begins, our focus turns to education.

While young students return to school, millions of American adults seek personal empowerment through literacy. We celebrate the determination of these adults to improve their reading, writing, speaking, math, and computer skills, in spite of their often busy and complicated lives.

Sept. 8 is International Literacy Day - established in 1965 by The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to call attention to the world-wide issues of illiteracy.

In New York, an estimated 2.7 million adults lack basic literacy, math and employment skills. Low-level reading and math skills are linked to poverty, incarceration and dropout rates.

These same individuals lack basic health, financial and consumer literacy skills, according to Literacy New York, Inc., which serves approximately 6,500 adults each year through a network of 35

affiliates and their volunteers.

Literacy Volunteers of Clinton County and Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties jointly serve over 250 adult learners annually with the help of 225 volunteers. In addition, approximately 1,600 pre-school children in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, and Hamilton counties receive a free book every month through our Ò Imagination Library.Ó We thank our valued volunteers and invite others to join our mission for a literate community. Tutor Training Orientation will be held in Plattsburgh on Sept. 10 and Oct. 1; Port Henry, Sept.

25; Malone, Oct. 2; and Lake Placid Oct. 14.

There is no cost to the learner. We invite all to spread the word to those in need of literacy services É and about our Ò Imagination Library.Ó Literacy Leads. It leads to employment. It leads to independence. It leads to opportunity.

Maria Burke, Executive Director, Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties Norma Menard, Executive Director, Literacy Volunteers of Clinton County

A bucket challenge thank you To the Editor: The staff of Essex County Department of Social Services wish to thank you for covering our ALS ice bucket challenge after work on Wednesday, Aug. 20.

Having been challenged by Essex County Family Court, fully one-third of our department showed up on the front lawn of the government center at 4:30 p.m. to brave the ice.

To honor the gravity of the purpose, we led off with a few words from a co-worker whose father died of ALS. Thirtyone DSS employees then proceeded Ð in a well choreographed Ò waveÓ Ð to dump ice water on their heads.

Most were dressed down, but some remained in professional work attire, including our well-dressed attorney who endured the icy water in full suit and tie!

Many more staff who could not suffer the ice nonetheless donated. In fact, one staffer contributed $90 to cover all the coworkers in his unit.

Today we sent checks totaling $545 to the ALS Raising HOPE Foundation out of Plattsburgh, whose website states that “100% of all donations goes towards ALS research at Massachusetts General Hospital.Ó With so many people needing buckets and ice, we would also like to thank Elizabethtown Family Dollar and Aubochon for generously loaning us many buckets, and Tops for donating bags of ice. WeÕ d also like to thank a passerby by the name of Glen for insisting that we add his $20 to the cause.

Finally, in case anyone missed our challenges, we also challenged Essex County Mental Health, Families First, ACAP, Public Health, Clinton and Franklin County Social Services, and, last but not least, the Essex County Board of Supervisors.

Better hurry folksÉ itÕ s not going to get any warmer!

John OÕ Neill, Commissioner

Honored to serve the United Way

To the Editor: As longtime supporters of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, we are honored to serve as co-chairs of the 2015 campaign. With many years in Human Services between us, we have seen families whose lives have been changed through the hard work and dedication of the 41 Partner Agencies who receive United Way funding. It is through your generous support that these agencies have the ability to achieve so much.

We want to thank all who have supported the United Way in the past, we hope you will continue your support. If you have never given, please consider talking to your employer about conducting a campaign, or contact the United Way to make a donation.

Whether a few dollars a week through payroll dedication or a one-time donation, your donation will help families in your community. The money raised here, stays here.

The definition of “Live United” as defined by United Way is Ò A mission. A goal. A constant reminder that when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. We build the strength of our neighborhoods. We bolster the health of our communities. And we change the lives of those who walk by us every day. We hope you will join us in our commitment to Ò Live United” by supporting the United Way and its 41 Partner agencies.

Style & Substance: On encouraging someone to speak the truth Dear style & substance, I have a friend who I think drinks too much.

Nothing bad has happened while drinking, but she talks way too much about what I consider private or confidential matters. She never seems embarrassed, but I am. I feel like I need to say something, but I donÕ t know what.

Do you have any suggestions?

It is kind of you to care so much. One explanation that may be helpful to you is this: some people have problems when they drink because they have problems in their lives that they canÕ t seem to be able to clarify, evaluate and take action on with openness and focus. Alcohol can definitely remove the filter from someone’s commentary and their problems and complaints leak out. You are seeing this as Ò messyÓ , and rightly so. Private issues of concern and deep emotion are best shared with a clear mind, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable. True resolution can only happen with clarity.

We recommend a couple of different approaches/questions to consider: • Do you spend time with her that is alcohol free? If not, you may not Ò knowÓ her that well. Suggest activities that do not include alcohol and re-evaluate your relationship based on your friendÕ s response.

• Clarify your perspective and what you believe to be acceptable behavior when having a drink. Follow your own rules and you may find that she follows suit. Make sure you do not fall into supporting the negative behavior by fueling it.

• Address the topics she discloses instead of the alcohol she imbibes. If you can have a caring, yet frank, conversation about her disclosures, you may find that she recognizes your

off the behavior.

The essential question to answer for yourself is this: Ò what do I want, need, and expect from this friendship?Ó You expressed your desire to say something but did not know what to sayÉ . is your uncertainty due to the private nature of your friendÕ s disclosures or are you unsure if you want to continue this relationship? Your truthful reflections will guide your next step.

Don’t forget to join us for:

body, mind & spirit

Fall series concern and wants to address and work on the issues. Or, you may find that she just likes to complain! Then, it is your choice about what position you will put yourself in with her and alcohol in the future.

• Take a look at what point she is at in her life; empty nest, frustration with career, newly single/divorcedÉ .. adjustments are sometimes embarrassingly contemplated out loud.

• Your friend may also feel completely comfortable with you and not realize she is over sharing or sharing in a way that is overwhelming to you and not helpful to her. Return

to our first suggestion of alcohol free activities whereby you initiate conversation Ð begin your Ò pointedÓ conversation subtly, allowing you to guide the discussion and redirect it if you become uncomfortable.

Your question reminded us of a quote we recently found, Ò It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.Ó ~William Blake The Ò enemyÓ , in this case, is just an Ò acquaintanceÓ . We all have certain expectations and unwritten codes of conduct in our relationships with both friends and acquaintances, and once we know more intimate details about peopleÉ . we cannot just easily dismiss, forgive, or wave

“If we don’t do it (renew the Ex-Im Bank) we’re fighting with one hand behind out back.Ó Schumer says the Ex-Im Bank used to be an easy sell in Washington, but has become a political hot potato with some on both the far right and the far left suddenly balking at the program.

Schumer says that money loaned out by the bank not only is paid

Schumer said that state-wide 270 companies, 163 of them considered small businesses, relie on funding from the Ex-Im Bank for some or all of their business.

Schumer urged North Country voters to contact their congressional representitives and urge passage of legislation to renew the Bank.

TOUR Before his address to the media, Schumer took a whistle-stop tour of Swarovski Lighting’s production floor, taking note of the wide variety of lighting fixtures produced at the Plattsburgh plant.

Swarovski hires about 350 people in the Plattsburgh area.

They also help support a host of secondary businesses; businesses who supply Swarovski with materials or equipment used in their business.

WORLD EVENTS After his discussion of the Ex-Im Bank, Schumer turned his attention to national news events, specifically the recent beheadings of two U.S. journalists at the hands of Muslim extremists in Iraq. Ò This is beyond the Pale,Ó he said. Ò IÕ ve told the president that if he comes up with a strong plan to deal with this, he will get Congressional support.Ó

CVPH

From page 1 which team to place them with. They are divvied up to keep the case load roughly even, based on the Emergency Severity Index, which grades how sick or injured the patient is. Ò ThereÕ s such a variety, from heart attacks and motor vehicle accidents to people getting stuff stuck in their ear,Ó Barcomb said. Ò ItÕ s not a boring place to work.Ó CVPH estimates that they see an average of 50,000 patients in their Emergency Care Center annually, an average of 137 patients a day. Many of those 137 patients find their way to the ECC on the night shift.

In Clinton County alone, there are in the neighborhood of 40 ambulances that service CVPH, plus helicopters from the State Police, Lifenet, Dart and Mercy Flight, as well as transfers from other, smaller local hospitals.

Many of their patients, the walking wounded, come to the ECC under their own power. For others an ambulance crew, whether itÕ s one of CVPHÕ s ambulances or a volunteer department, is the first part of the ECC team the patient meets. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) are the advanced arm of the ECC. ItÕ s their job to stabilize a patient, and start the care process, often while driving down a snow covered roadway in the dead of night. Ò Sometimes all our work is done by the time they get here,Ó said ECC Registered Nurse Sarah Forkey. Ò I donÕ t think we give them a whole lot of credit sometimes, but they save us a lot of steps.Ó Forkey started her career as an EMT, before moving into the hospital as a nurse.

For the EMTs themselves, a busy night on the road is often preferable to a quiet night of stationary boredom. Ò This ER is an animal at night. ItÕ s never the same thing twice.

No two days are the same,Ó said Jeremy Miner, and Advanced EMT on the CVPH ambulance crew.

Patients who come in via the ambulance are triaged while en route to the hospital. Those who come through the front door are triaged in a newly built triage area just behind the front counter.

The triage area has three separate stations, and is a huge change from the previous ER setup.

A person must work in the ECC for a year before they can even apply to work in triage. To work in the ECC itself, you have to have worked in the hospital for two years. Ò Triage can go from dead to busy very quickly,Ó said triage nurse Christina Hoffnagle. Ò I feel like IÕ ve learned so much here.

ItÕ s scary, exciting and stressful, all in one.Ó

www.northcountryman.com

North Countryman - 9

The triage area where Hoffnagle works is one of the new spaces built during a recent $3.5 million transformation that added 5,400 square feet to the ECC, more than doubling its space. The project added nine more patient beds, a four bed behavioral decision area, and space for the three triage beds.

The expansion was funded by a federal grant, administered through the New York State Department of Health.

Doctor Barry Smith works nights in the ECC on a rotating basis, traveling from New York City where he lives and practices.

“They have some very highly qualified nurses, techs and staff who are very dedicated to their community,Ó Smith said. Ò No matter if it’s one patient or 50 patients, they give each patient the same care. ItÕ s why I keep coming here.Ó Smith says that given the rural nature of the area CVPH services, heÕ s been most impressed with the level of specialty care available in the North Country. Ò TheyÕ re very energetic, very involved specialists who serve the ER as well,Ó said Smith.

Like most of the ECC night shift, Smith prefers the busy nights, which arenÕ t always the nights everybody would assume. Mondays, according to consensus, are the busiest, followed closely

by Fridays. Thursdays can be busy as well once college is back in session, due primarily to Ô Ladies NightÕ specials at local bars.

But whether its a busy or quiet night, the teamwork and esprit de corps of the night shift crew is something that members of the ECC wear with pride. Ò Somehow we always pull it off. We always make it work,Ó said Forkey. Ò ItÕ s all about the people we have working. ÒI t really is great. IÕ d never work anywhere else in the hospital.Ó

Chazy boys eye another Class d title

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com CHAZY Ñ The Chazy boysÕ soccer team has been a Class D dynasty over the years, winning all but two crowns since 1997.

With a strong returning core and deep overall roster, 2014 may be more of the same.

Chazy did lose a handful of key players from last year’s 17-1-4 team, but this season’s seniors look to fill the void.

Senior captains this year are Keagan OÕ Connor, Zach Brothers, Derek Drake and Josh Barriere, the 2013 D-2 MVP. Chazy will be coached by Rob McAuliffe. John Tregan, an assistant coach on the team, added that a strong schedule of opponents will be strength this year.

Though inexperienced players on defense will be an area of improvement, the Eagles will look to again be on top at the end of the season.

Chazy ladies return three All-state players

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com CHAZY — The Chazy girls’ soccer team may have lost 10 players from last year’s 16-3-1 team that went all the way to the NYSPHSAA Class D semi-finals last November, but return strong talent for 2014.

Three returners made the All-State Team last season; Kinnan Latremore (1st team), Rachel Pombrio (1st team) and Hannah Laurin (4th team). Second-teamer Amber Polomsky graduated. Ò I have a strong senior class who are experienced and determined to make it past sectionals,Ó said Coach Karin Sherman, who in seven years with Chazy is 111-10-3.

Laurin, Pombrio and Latremore are captains this season, along with senior defender Olivia Blais.

Chazy finished last season tops amongst Section VII DII schools and has been a Class D powerhouse for the last decade, winning the class eight times in the last 10 years. Elizabethtown won in 2012 and Willsboro in 2004.

Other players to watch include Abbey Snide, returning from a torn ACL last season, and Bailey Pepper, a 10th grader who has been a starter since 8th grade.

Assisting Sherman on the sideline is Megan Reynolds, along with Martiza Lester, manager; Steffi Trombley, mascot; and Karen Pepper, scorekeeper.

Experience key for Cougars

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — The Northeastern Clinton Cougars will field 13 seniors on their boys soccer team this season, only one of whom is a first year varsity player.

With such a experience-heavy roster, Coach Dale Hawksby has his sights aimed high for 2014: “Win the sectionals and make it to Middletown to the final four,Ó said Hawksby when asked about team goals.

Hawksby added that the younger players on the team will have to adjust to the system quickly for the Cougars to have a chance against more challenging opponents.

Seven juniors and two sophomores make up the rest of the NCCS team, which went 6-4-3 last season. Ò We have a good number of return players with varsity exerience,Ó said the coach. Ò I hope they will lead us and play up to their potential.Ó

Lady Cougars to play with speed, depth Juniors will bring strength, speed this soccer season

By Andrew Johnstone andrew@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN Ñ The Cougars girlsÕ soccer team returns a strong core of returning players, especially in the junior class, to the field in 2014.

Of the 18 girls on this yearÕ s roster, only four are seniors, but Coach Tim Surprenant said team speed and depth, especially among the 11th graders, will bring strength to Northeastern Clinton this season.

Surprenant added that, because the team is young, getting used to the more physical play of varsity soccer will be important.

The coach said being competitive in every game and making a Ò good showing in sectionalsÓ will be the major goals this season.
