SARANAC | Bringing broadband to rural Clinton County, combating the opiate crisis and promoting bipartisanship at the county level. These are three things that both County Legislator Patty Waldron (Area 6) and her opponent, former legislator Robert Butler, say are among the top priorities of their respective campaigns. According to Waldron, the primary difference between their campaigns lies in a cultural divide. “(Butler) lives less than a mile from the Town of Plattsburgh and has been sheltered from the challenges just 10 miles west into areas that have not had basic utilities such as broadband and cell service.”

Area 6 encompasses the towns of Saranac and Black Brook. “I live on the Standish Road in the hamlet of Clayburg. Myself, my neighbors, and three quarters of Area 6 are paying satellite companies far too much for far too little,” she said. “I completely understand these issues because I live in the unserved area.” At a press conference last Wednesday, Butler said that much still needs to be done to improve cellphone service and bring broadband into the area. “This area has so many dead spots, it’s incredible,” Butler said. The state aims to fully wire the state with high speed broadband by the end of 2018 using a combination of private and public funding. Providers won bids to provide broadband to homeowners in Altona, Mooers, Black Brook and Chazy as part of the second round of state grants announced in February — but not Saranac. Bidding for the third and final round

closed in September. “We have had success with broadband companies bidding our area under the Phase 3 initiative from the governor,” Waldron said. “We are now waiting to see if a broadband company will awarded the bid.” The proposed $500 million in statewide investment joins at least $170 million earmarked by the Federal Communications Commission. Bombay-based Mohawk Networks has submitted a Phase 3 bid to serve Clinton and Franklin counties, according to Marketing and Sales Supervisor Claudia Tarbell. “We applied for the area within those counties that are unserved,” she said. “The bid was submitted on time — now we’re just waiting to hear back.”

‘IT’S A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE’

As a direct result of spotty cellphone service, a lot of people find themselves in unsafe situations, Butler said. “It’s a health and safety issue.”

AN EVENING WITH RYAN LEAF Former NFL Quarterback, Ryan Leaf is an advocate for those struggling with mental health and behavioral health issues and encourages audiences

to transformthe waywe think aboutmentalhealth issues and addiction.

Ryan Leaf was one of the most promising collegiate football players of his time, and rivaled Peyton Manning for the Heisman trophy. In 1998, he was the number two draft pick behind Manning. Football was Leafs life, but the pressure to perform on such an elite level was more than he was prepared to deal with, ultimately leading to the demise of his professional football career, retiring in 2003. In 2006, Ryan took a coaching job with the West Texas A&M football team. However Leaf still struggled with his mental health and began to abuse prescription opiates due to a previous football injury. By 2012, he was breaking into people's homes to feed his addiction. Prison followed soon alter. Leaf describes the time in prison as a time of "spiritual growth and humility''. Today, Ryan Leaf is the voice for the recovery community. Out of his own desolation, Ryan hopes to inspire others to begin their road to recovery. He chooses to share his story dealing with mental health issues and substance abuse in order to reach the person who cannot yet imagine a better life for themselves.

Hundreds expected at haunted corn maze Annual Halloween celebration returns to Country Dreams Farms By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | Step into the cornfield at your own risk. That’s what Country Dreams Farm owner Melissa MontyProvost said — and she wasn’t talking about trampling on crop or having guard dogs at the ready. This Friday will mark the return of the farm’s haunted corn maze, now in its eighth year. Those who dare to enter are guaranteed a scare. Everything from clowns to chainsaws are buried in its shadowy depths. “They’re definitely going to see things that are scary,” she said. Over 500 people showed up to combat the jumpscare-filled maze last year, and this year even more people are expected to visit. “We’ve historically only done it one night,” Monty-Provost said. But with the lack of other similar events in the area, they’ve had a swell of requests to expand the event to Friday night, she said. Over the years the haunted

maze has become a community effort. According to Monty-Provost, over 20 volunteers have signed up this year, eager to suit up and scare visitors. “We have 20 or more volunteers from the community that live for this kind of stuff,” she said.

Because of the nature of the event, the recommended age group is 13 and up. “But if parents choose to bring their kids… once you’re in there, you’re on your own.” For the guests who opt to forgo the fear, a

Panelists talk North Country refugee ‘crisis’ Number of border crossings at Roxham Road in Champlain declining, but expected to continue By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The number of refugees crossing into Canada at Roxham Road in Champlain is declining. But people are expected to continue to stream into the country throughout the winter, according to Solidarity Across Borders, a Montreal-based immigrant advocacy group. Nearly one hundred people attended a forum Sunday at SUNY Plattsburgh to discuss what organizers are referring to as a crisis. According to the National Post in Canada, more than 32,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Canada this year. While statistics for the Roxham Road crossings are not immediately available, 5,530 of those entering the country have done so through Quebec, according to the Canadian government. Immigration Attorney David Gervais attributes this exodus to fear generated by the current administration. “We’re seeing political changes with clamped down immigration,” Gervais said, referencing the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the “scrapped” U.S. Refugee Admission program and President Donald Trump’s proposed travel ban on citizens from six Muslim-majority countries. In Quebec alone, 17,205 people seeking asylum have been processed by the Canadian Border Services Agency and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), according to a recent report by the IRCC. After illegally crossing into Canada at Roxham Road, refugees are entered into a lengthy, sprawling process to obtain asylum status, Solidarity Across Borders member Mary Foster said. According to Gervais, that process could take anywhere from 3-7 years — the acceptance rate is currently around 60 percent. Oftentimes refugees have to wait three months just to see if they qualify for asylum status and 17 months before a hearing on their request is held. In the meantime, they

can’t apply for assistance and they aren’t allowed to obtain a working permit, said Foster. “It’s a situation of incredible precariousness.”

WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND

In the small, serene town of Champlain, nestled at the northernmost tip of Clinton County, oftentimes the only hint that refugees are passing through what is left behind. A slideshow of photographs — some depicting families disembarking amidst a cluster of cabs, others capturing the clothing, photos, bus passes and airline tickets left in the grass on Roxham Road — illuminated the dark auditorium at SUNY Plattsburgh’s Hawkins Hall. “It seemed inconceivable that people were traveling through our area, somewhat invisibly, to leave our country,” said Janet McFetridge, secretary to the town supervisor of Champlain. But once she’d seen it with her own eyes, people leaving in droves, bypassing shouted warnings from Canadian police out of hope for a better life, it became very real. So far in the North Country the steady stream of refugees has spawned the creation of a number of refugee advocacy groups — including Plattsburgh Cares and Champlain Valley Friends of Refugees — new cab companies to accommodate travelers, and updated anti-discrimination policies for police in the City of Plattsburgh. McFetridge said that now, she always travels with supplies. Snacks. Blankets. “You never know now when you’ll need them.”

SANCTUARY CITY

Though he has explored the idea of Plattsburgh becoming a sanctuary city, which would limit the city’s cooperation with the federal government to enforce immigration law, the city doesn’t have the legal resources, Mayor Colin Read said on Sunday. Read said that Plattsburgh could become more than a transit point — the city could also become a point of respite. “Plattsburgh is just a city,” said Read. “We don’t determine state or federal policy. But we can create a welcoming atmosphere.” The issue has already led to public policy changes. Northern Taxi, a local cab company, was fined $2,500 by the state Attorney General’s Office earlier this year for overcharging refugees for rides to the Canadian border and

Plattsburgh Cares, a local advocacy group, held a forum on the “North Country Refugee Crisis” at SUNY Plattsburgh on Sunday. Photo by Elizabeth Izzo failing to provide rates in advance. As a result, Plattsburgh City Police spoke with each cab company registered to operate within city limits to ensure compliance with rate-posting procedures. According to Read, they also updated their anti-discrimination policy to include refugee status. “We want to make sure there’s no discrimination,” Read said. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Taking a break

Sometimes you just need to check out for a short while, leaving everything behind in an effort By Dan Alexander to recharge the batteries and get a new • PUBLISHER • perspective. I know it’s far easier to type that than it is to actually do. It’s just not always possible to leave everything behind as though it doesn’t exist. Health, financial and dependency issues have long tethers, but many other nagging little annoyances can be put on the shelf if you allow them to be. This morning, I find myself waking up for the first day of a long-awaited vacation in Bradenton, Florida. Talk about the inability to leaving things behind, as I entered my temporary hometown for next couple of weeks, the city limits remind me I just entered BraDENTON. A certain reminder of my promise to Editor DeMola to send in my weekly column while trying to forget everything else, associated with guiding Denton Publications and The SUN. The long drive down listening to the news reinforced my theme about “Taking a Break.” I do so wish I could turn off the constant bickering, resistance and feuding taking place in the halls of government as easily I switch channels over to an all music channel. If only those who guide our nation could “Take a Break” from what has become their standard practice of fighting everything and just let the small things slide off their backs and get focused on the people’s business once and for all But driving down the east coast gave me a reason for optimism. Yes, even optimism for the current state of politics. Touring through the pure beauty of our countryside, scenic mountains and valley foliage, seeing majestic cities all lit up at nighttime and sharing the roadway with mostly polite drivers all heading south, gives one pause for hope. Hope that we realize just how good we have it here in the good old USA and hope that we can find ways to quit arguing over small and large differences while finding ways to seek compromise on the really big issues so important to so many. Perhaps both sides can at least raise the white ﬂag for a temporary ceasefire and we can all enjoy some peace and quiet. ■

From the Editorial Board

State should scale back funding for boutique projects A new economic profi le of the North Country contains few surprises. The six-county region lags behind the rest of the state in job creation, median household income and labor source involvement. It’s heavily reliant on tourism and the service economy. And job growth is largely flat, according to the state comptroller’s office. Not a big shocker. So it’s no surprise that the region is leaning on the state’s Regional Economic Development Council for heavy-duty firepower to fund private projects designed to offer ballast to a shaky economic landscape. The program allocates $800 million annually. Past big ticket items have included partial funds to restore Hotel Saranac, upgrade the Agri-Mark Manufacturing Facility in Chateaugay, construct the Adirondack Health Medical Fitness Center in Lake Placid and modernize the Plattsburgh International Airport. Economic development officials see these as more than just life preservers, but rather transformative projects designed to reshape the upstate economy by “clustering” industries around one another with the hope that one day they can stand on their own when paired with workforce development efforts. The manufacturing, aerospace and tourism sectors have been flagged as critical in the North Country. The North Country REDC has also bankrolled dozens of upgrades to help local companies stay competitive, including Bombardier, International Paper and Jeffords Steel. To date, the effort has invested nearly a halfbillion in the North Country alone since 2011 — including for local infrastructure projects in communities across the Adirondack Park. The strategy also includes offering companies like Norsk Titanium $125 million

in incentives. And the state has also staved off disasters by convincing companies who have been thinking about packing up and leaving — like Alcoa in St. Lawrence County — by offering millions in subsidies. Some dismiss the state’s strategy as corporate welfare. But the stark reality is that this carrot-and-stick approach is necessary to attract and keep these businesses in a place still reeling from massive job losses a decade ago. The NCREDC is right: These projects are not only transformative, but necessary to keep the local economy alive and the region as one that is vital and attractive to outside investors and transplants who will move here to sustain our dying communities. These companies employ hundreds, and their departure would devastate the regional economy. But funding boutique projects is another story. Last year, we were surprised to see a central Adirondack museum tapped to receive $125,000 to host a “Halloween inspired festival.” The only thing spooky about that is the price tag. This year, a start-up has put in for $705,384 to help construct a distillery in Crown Point — a project flagged as a priority for the regional council. The total project clocks in at $3.5 million. Total jobs created: Six. Is this really the best use of taxpayer dollars? We don’t think so. Other questionable efforts that have been funded over the years include boutique hotels, microbreweries, food co-ops and other projects where the return on investment to the broader community appears to be negligible. We understand that the projects are rigorously screened by the NCREDC, which contains a coalition of stakeholders from

Westport EMS desperately needs members

To the Editor: I am writing to alert Westport and Wadhams residents to the crippling personnel shortage threatening the town’s volunteer ambulance squad. We desperately need volunteers. If you live in Westport or Wadhams, please consider joining the squad. Call me at 518-962-4892 or text 518-524-5566 if you would like more information. I’d be happy to talk informally about what it’s like to do volunteer EMS work, whether as an EMT, a driver, or an attendant. We need all three to make it work. Unlike firefighting, which calls for younger bodies, EMS work is suitable for younger and older alike — including the recently retired who might be looking for meaningful, rewarding activity. We currently have just seven EMTs, most of whom work elsewhere on weekdays. Many weekdays only one of our volunteer

across the region who conceptualize and weigh each step of the process. And the funds are only disbursed upon project completion. Furthermore, one could make the argument — as the governor has done — that the current economic development system, for all of its flaws, is far more transparent and accountable than the former pork-laden culture that saw lawmakers largely funnel money to pet projects to their districts with little oversight. But a far better solution to funding boutique start-up enterprises is crowdfunding projects. The Adirondack North Country Association is working on spearheading a program called Ignite ADK, which officials are billing as a “local Kickstarter.” Projects will be funded through small, individual donations made by residents. This cuts out the middleman: Instead of small groups of business leaders deciding which projects to submit for state funding — projects which often lean toward more professionally-adept and vocal businesses with the right connections — residents are given a greater voice in local development. This could lead to a greater sense of responsibility to shop local when these projects are eventually funded. Another example is the microenterprise program that has seeded numerous businesses in the central Adirondacks over the past several years, giving small business owners a critical leg up. Albany should consider scaling back some of this spending. With a state budget deficit looming and changes at the federal level creating fiscal uncertainty amongst the working class, most of us would benefit from a rebate check — not the latest trendy startup enterprise. -The Sun Community News Editorial Board ■

EMTs is around to respond. If that one person can’t leave work or has an errand outside of town, we risk “dropping the call” — which means an agency from another town has to respond in our place. We have already dropped several calls this year. If that continues, eventually the state will shut us down and we will have no ambulance service. That means when you call 911 for a medical emergency, significantly more time will go by until someone from another town comes to your aid. It will threaten the well-being of everyone. Please don’t let it happen. Call me, text me, or look for our representatives at public events during our upcoming Westport Volunteer Ambulance Squad Membership Drive. Remember, you don’t need to be an EMT to ride with us. You just need to care. Colin Wells, Captain, Westport Ambulance Squad » Letters Cont. on pg. 7

Concerned at anti-Semitic comments in Schroon

Hockey sticks and bond ratings

Last week the City of Plattsburgh suffered a fate long in coming. Readers recall that for the past six years, Plattsburgh’s budgets have been imbalanced by $1.2 By Colin Read million each year. That structural • COLUMNIST • deficit eventually turned a $6.8 million positive fund balance into a negative $400,000 amended budget for 2017. That’s the long downward part of the hockey stick. There’s good news, though. Last year a budget was proposed that would result in excessive general fund spending by $1.5 million, and also failed to budget for $250,000 in additional healthcare costs, an almost $800,000 award to the firefighters union, and $100,000 for a long-delayed elevator repair. Action early in 2017 allowed us to trim the proposed deficit this year approaching $2.7 million by about $2 million. Such a turnaround, on a $23 million general fund budget, was painful, but absolutely necessary. Despite this effort, our city’s fund balance is exhausted. While the fund balance is exhausted, a turnaround has begun. Next year’s budget projects a return to the fund balance of 2016, of about $800,000. If we can continue to show fiscal discipline, we can return to compliance with the city’s own fund balance policy, which requires the city to maintain no less than $1.2 million in the bank at any time. Even that 5 percent fund balance only leaves the city with less than three weeks’ savings, yet it’s a heck of a lot better than zero. This brings us to the short part of the hockey stick. If we suffered a consistent decline in finances for six years, we are now seeing a kink in 2017 and an upward improvement in 2018. The problem’s that the bond rating company Moody’s just issued its report based on endof-year 2016 data. They noticed our precipitous decline in finances that became dangerously low by 2016, and dropped our bond rating by two notches, from A2 to Baa1, right on the heels of their two notch downgrade in April of 2016. A four notch bond decline in 18 months is painful. We have to do better, and we will. I’m grateful Moody’s saw the whole hockey stick. While the data required their downgrade, they understood our recent efforts and removed the Negative Outlook. Presuming we continue to do what we plan, Moody’s now deems us Stable. We’ve a long way to go, but we’re on the right track. ■

» Broadband Cont. from pg. 1 One voter spoke with him and told a story about how she’d gotten stuck in a snowbank and was unable to call for help: “We’re not a third world country, but people still can’t get cell service,” Butler said at a candidates forum last Tuesday. State officials have said that any areas that will not be picked up by the grants will likely be covered by Charter Communications as part of their merger agreement with Time Warner Cable. Butler last week also underscored his eye on fiscal responsibility, noting that keeping taxes low is a crucial concern. “Taxes are still the prime interest,” he said. Butler, 72, was a county legislator for 17 years before hitting the maximum term limit, and while in office served on each of the county’s 10 standing committees. If elected again, Butler hopes to “accomplish the same thing” he did while last in office. “I’m a good listener, and I’ll work to address every issue.” Waldron, 53, was elected to serve Area 6 in 2013. She serves on the Plattsburgh International Airport, Personnel, Health, Finance, Economic Development and County Operations, Children and Family Services, Buildings and Grounds committees. Waldron is running on the Democratic and Working Families party lines, with Butler running on the Republican, Independence and Conservative lines. Voters head to the polls on Nov. 7. ■

Assemblyman of the 115th District

Recovery a Focal Point for many throughout the North Country In honor of September being National Recovery Awareness Month, I recently spent a day meeting with people and organizations dedicated to helping those affected By Billy Jones by the opioid crisis. • COLUMNIST • I was honored to spend time with local advocates, health care professionals and concerned citizens that are genuinely invested in helping our neighbors and loved ones battle this epidemic. Throughout my journey to learn more about this crisis and how we can combat it, I was fortunate to meet Francene Cornell, a strong advocate for awareness and recovery efforts throughout the North Country. In the morning, Francene came to my oﬃce to discuss her ideas which will make it easier for our loved ones to get the help that they need. Once we finished our insightful discussion, Francene and I began the recovery tour with a roundtable discussion, comprised of several staff members from The University of Vermont Health Network-CVPH. Next, we met with several behavioral health organizations, including Conifer Park, Clinton County Mental Health and Addiction Services, and Champlain Valley Family Center. Connie Willie, Executive Director of the CVFC, gave us a thorough tour of the facility and shared renovation plans to make the center safer and more welcoming to their clients. We finished the day by meeting with staff at St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment & Recovery Centers in Franklin County, where we continued to talk about treatment, recovery and prevention methods. As a mother that has lost her son to substance use disorder, Francene Cornell knows all too well the pain and loss that addiction causes. Once we finished visiting the facilities and meeting with dozens of people, I asked Francene if she felt that the tour was beneficial to recovery efforts in the region. She stated that “for the first time in a long time, I have hope… sometimes hope is the best gift you can give to someone.” I admire Francene’s perseverance and remain hopeful that we all continue to do our part to help combat the opioid epidemic. In April, I introduced legislation that will ensure those checking into a rehabilitation center receive adequate treatment. Currently, state funded insurance programs only allow people to stay at a rehab facility for seven days. Assembly Bill A7585 would allow people to stay in a detoxification center for up to 45 days. In order to properly help those seeking recovery services, we must provide them with as much treatment as possible. In turn, this will help more people get on the road to recovery, which will reduce the rate of recidivism. It’s been reassuring to see how involved our communities have been in events and projects surrounding recovery. Whether it’s through fundraisers, races to raise awareness, informational presentations, or roundtable discussions, thousands of North Country residents have remained committed to this fight. I believe that it is important to keep an open dialogue, especially when it comes to something that has had a negative impact on far too many lives throughout the North Country. As I continue to work on this important issue, my door is always open and I’m eager to hear the thoughts and ideas that members of the community have to offer. ■ — Assemblyman Billy Jones represents the 115th District

Indians, Hornets set for Class B crown

Rine for a 35 yards play. “That set us up, and Kasen Brennan made a great run to get into the endzone,” O’Connell said. Brennan finished with 41 yards rushing, while O’Connell threw for 123 yards and two scores, connecting with Rine and Robert Reynolds on each. For Beekmantown, Cris Arzola had 118 rushing and a touchdown. O’Connell said they will continue to draw on their season worth of experiences as they prepare to meet the Hornets. “We have had a lot of close games,” he said. “The Beekmantown games were close. The PHS game was close. I think our team has become more determined in the playoffs and we have to focus on not turning the ball over and using the clock.

CLINTONVILLE | The Plattsburgh High School football team has gone from the depths to the height over the past three seasons, and now sits as the top seed as they prepare to face Peru in the Section VII/Class B championship game Saturday, Oct. 28, 3:30 p.m. at AuSable Valley Central School.

The Indians come into the Class B final after earning a 26-21 win over Beekmantown in the Class B semifinals. “I do not know if there was anything different between our two games,” coach Ryon O’Connell said. “We knew it would be a tough game and we knew it would come down to the last drive.” Trailing 21-20, the Indians started their final drive 71 yards away. “We were into our two-minute drill.” O’Connell said. “In practice, we do the drill two times each week and try to make it hectic for the kids. So, it may look hectic on the field, but the kids are able to get the job done.” O’Connell said a key play was the connecting between quarterback Ryley O’Connell and Alex

PHS (4-4)

The Hornets come off a 45-14 loss to OFA last week, with Mitch Senecal throwing for 132 yards and a touchdown, while Tyler Phillips scored the other touchdown of the game, picking off an OFA pass and returning it 46 yards for the score. Head coach Patrick Keleher said there was an issue in dealing with the size of the OFA line, as they out-gained the Hornets 465-211. ■

Battle of the Saranacs in Class C football Week two rematch set for Saturday By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

CLINTONVILLE | In week two, the Saranac Chiefs secured the top seed in the Class C playoffs with a win over the Saranac Lake Red Storm. Seven weeks later, the two teams will meet again with the Section VII/Class C title on the line as they will take to the AuSable Valley field Saturday, Oct. 28, with kickoff at noon.

SARANAC LAKE RED STORM (2-6)

The Red Storm advanced to the Class C finals with a 35-6 win over AuSable Valley Oct. 20, taking vengeance for a 38-30 defeat in the first week of the season. “We were focused on playing mistake-free football and being sound in our schemes,” head coach Eric Bennett said was the difference between week one and Oct. 20. Jarrett Ashton scored twice in the opening quarter to give the Red Storm a 14-0 lead. After Matt Pray scored for the Patriots to make the score 14-7, Ward Walton caught a 19-yard pass from DJ Morgan to put the Red Storm up 21-7 and take back momentum heading into the second half. “It was big,” Bennett said of the score. “It gave us some breathing room and instilled confidence in our team that our schemes were working and that if we stayed the course we’d be okay.” Ashton finished with 203 yards rushing and three scores, putting him over the 1,000 yard mark for the season. Morgan

had 83 yards passing and 49 more running, adding a touchdown on the ground. For the Patriots, Pray finished with 79 yards rushing and Dalton McDonald had 88 yards passing. With the win, the Red Storm now get the chance to change their fortunes against their other Class C foe, Saranac. “They have an entire season’s worth of experience to compliment their athleticism,” Bennett said. “We are hopefully playing more fundamentally sound football. Saranac’s quarterback (Luke Maye) and skill players are very good so it is incumbent upon us to limit big plays and be sound in our assignments.”

SARANAC CHIEFS (4-4)

The Chiefs are coming off a 36-7 loss to Section X’s Gouverneur, who scored all their points in the first half. Head coach Joe Fish said their goals for the game were based more on what was ahead of them. “We had two goals — work on things for the championship game and stay healthy,” Fish said. “We did both.” Luke Maye went 3-of-9 passing for 50 yards, while Jake Nolan also played at quarterback, going 6-of-21 for 132 yards. Johnny Devins scored the lone touchdown of the game for the Chiefs, rushing for 24 yards. Now, having captured the top seed, the Chiefs look to go from a team whose season ended early three years ago to the top of the Class C ladder. “(Saranac Lake) has a lot of momentum coming off a win in the semifinals,” Fish said. “Our biggest difference now is the ability to play sound fundamental football. If we execute the game plan both offensively and defensively and win the turnover battle, we should have a good chance.” ■

NCCS Cougars play role of underdog us in the regular season was in the same fashion, so we works some changes that would put us in a better situation to handle their rush.” The Cougars then won, 3-2, in a shootout, which Surprenant credited to the team having already been involved in a shootout early in the season. “Having a shootout in the beginning of the year was huge for us,” he said. “We only made one of the five shots we took against NAC. We have put some time in taking kicks over the last few weeks. To me the biggest factor was when I asked them who wanted the ball to take the kicks, I had several girls with a confident ‘I do.’” Katrina Emerich had 16 saves for the Cougars, including a save on the final shot of kicks to seal the victory. Kelsey Baker had 11 saves for the Eagles. “My defense was outstanding,” Surprenant said. “We knew we had to play team defense against their many goal scores. We did a good job of communicating and containing the ball until we were able to double or they made a mistake.” The Cougars will face the Hornets, who scored a 2-0 win over Saranac as Brina Micheels scored a goal and added an assist to Madeline Woodward. “Brina is a special talent,” PHS coach Tim Mulligan said. “She is one of the hardest working players in practice and that is a big motivator to the girls on the team to improve and give their best effort. In the end Brina has the ability to create both, her own chances and other players on our team chances to score. Brina will also play just about any position on the field asked of her.” Mulligan said his team played hard, especially in the second half. “I think the team came out strong because they are excited for the opportunity to keep their season going by winning games,” he said. “They don’t want it to end, and that is probably the biggest motivator right now for the team. I thought our defense needed to step up in the second half against Saranac, as Saranac came out of halftime hungry to try and make it a game. Delaney McCormick made a couple of key saves and we made a few adjustments along the way to secure the victory throughout the half.” The Hornets and Cougars will take part in the 5 p.m. game on Oct. 27 at Brendler Field. “PHS has a different style that we need to prepare for,” Surprenant said. “We need to limit our mistakes, keep our shape and match the intensity that we played with last Friday.” “NCCS is a hard working team,” Mulligan said. “They, like us, know what is at stake on Friday and will be excited for the opportunity they earned. I think it will come down to playing with intensity and grit needed to win this huge game.”

Knock off top seed in both Class B semifinals By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

CHAZY | The Northeastern Clinton varsity soccer programs did not care what seed number they were in the Class B semifinals, as both teams scored a 3-2 shootout win over top seeds Beekmantown (girls) and Peru (boys). “It is always great to see our teams win,” boy’s varsity coach and A.D. Nicholas Trombley said. “This was special to have two situations occur that were oddly similar — fourth ranked cougars beat first-ranked, undefeated teams, 3-2, in the shootout. It was surely a great weekend for Cougar soccer.” Now, both teams will play for the Class B title game, with the girls taking on Plattsburgh High School at 5 p.m. and the boys Saranac at 7 p.m. at George Brendler Field in Chazy on Friday, Oct. 27.

NCCS-SARANAC

While it may have been a top seed in Peru against a fourth seed in NCCS, the scores told a much different story heading into the semifinal between the two schools on Oct. 21. “Heading into the game, we felt we had a good chance to win,” coach Trombley said. “We played Peru very tough twice during the regular season. Our first meeting was a 1-1 tie, and the second meeting we lost 1-0, with Peru scoring with about one minute, 30 seconds left in the second half. The keys to our game were to mark their offensive threats, especially Gabe Nuzzo. He has proved throughout the year how much of a game changer he can be. We were looking to use the wings on our offense, and place balls into dangerous positions from there.” Rylee Hollister opened the scoring for NCCS in the first half while Peru countered in the second. The Cougars then won in kicks, 3-2, with Trombley giving a lot of credit to his defenders.

NCCS-PHS

The Lady Cougars entered their game with confidence against the top seed Beekmantown, holding them scoreless through regulation and overtime. “The girls were excited to get another chance against them,” coach Tim Surprenant said. “We talked about the best way to handle their scoring attack and that all the pressure was on them.

“I have four guys that have been a staple to our defense throughout the year,” he said. “They are three seniors (Thomas Kimbler, Ian Gordon, Tristen Wallace) and one junior (Landon Coulombe). I refer to them as “the four” when talking about starting lineups. They have been extremely consistent throughout the year and have kept us in many games. In the Peru game, I felt they really contained Peru and kept them to the outside when they were attacking. Landon made one defensive play late in the game that I think saved us. A Peru player broke through and Landon sprinted back and stopped him from getting off a shot. If he was able to get the shot off, I think we would be talking about a different ending to that game.” The Cougars will now face Saranac, who scored a 2-1 overtime win against PHS as Cameron Duffield went from goal stopper to game-winning scorer in overtime. “We have been practicing all week, and our goalie has had the hottest foot and he showed it tonight on the winning goal,” said Saranac coach Tom Harrigan. “We started getting the offensive attack going toward the end of the game. We shifted around a couple of positions. We put someone else as a striker.” Andrew Follmer had put PHS on top in the first half, but Nicholas Shantie scored the equalizer in the 55th minute. “I knew we had a we had a pretty good team coming into this game,” Harrigan said. “We played them before and they played us tough twice this year. We played them in an overtime tie and everything else. We need what we were up against. We did this together of course. We had some tough practices. We brought it to the game and played well. “Hopefully the same team that we had tonight will be here on Friday,” Harrigan added. ■

Northern Adk. looks to sweep C final By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

SARANAC | The Section VII/Class C soccer finals were set for 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Saranac Central School on Wednesday, Oct. 25, with a pair of upsets leading off in the girl’s contest Oct. 20.

AUSABLE, NAC ADVANCE

In the 5 p.m. girl’s championship game, the AuSable Valley Lady Patriots will take on the Northern Adirondack Lady Bobcats, as both teams scored upset wins to make it to the finals. The Patriots scored an upset over top seed Seton Catholic on Oct. 19, as Dru Gravelle scored in the 74th minute. “We are happy with the win and how it turned out,” Pats coach Bruce Bourgeois said. “Seton played a great game, very aggressive. They came out much better than I thought they were going to and we came out much slower than I thought we were going to. It was a great game overall. Very even on both sides. They took it to us much more than we expected them to, but we knew that once it got under 10 minutes, whoever scored was going to be the winner and thank God it was us.” Koree Stillwell stopped 12 shots in the win, while Leah Walker had seven saves for the Knights.

Bourgeois also commended his younger players. “With all my younger players that came in, my JV, because we were down to two varsity subs. All my seven JV team call-ups did well wherever I plugged them in and did all that I needed them to do.” The Bobcats, meanwhile, jumped out on the Ticonderoga Lady Sentinels as Avery Lambert opened the game with a goal and Katee Brothers closed, scoring in the first half en route to a 2-0 win over the Ticonderoga Sentinels. “I was proud of them,” coach Kelly Gilmore said after the game. “We came in with a good game plan. We marked up the Pike girl and the Purkey girl. They hurt us before. I told the girls if they played hard and aggressive, then we would win the game and they did it.” The Bobcats also made a change to their lineup, putting goalie Paige Chilton onto the field and having Aiden Lambert play in net. “We experimented with it for half the game last week,” Gilmore said. “Paige has been our keeper for the last three and half years solid as a rock and we wanted to give her a chance to play in the field on senior night. Aiden Lambert looked good in it. Paige helped out in the field and I let her make the decision on where she wanted to go. She’s a senior and she chose the field. She helped and contributed a lot out there and was good.”

BOY’S FINALS: NAC V. LAKE PLACID

The Lake Placid Blue Bombers will seek their sixth straight Class C title, ousting top seed Seton Catholic in penalty kicks after the two teams went for 110 minutes scoreless Oct. 23. The Knights held a 17-7 shot advantage during regulation, while the Blue Bombers scored on three attempts in penalty kicks and Jacob Novick made two saves in the shootout. Tyler Reid had five saves for the Knights. In the other semifinal, Northern Adirondack returned themselves to their fifth straight sectional final appearance (third in Class C, two in Class D), rallying from one goal down for a 2-1 win Oct. 23. Sawyer Chase scored the lone goal for the Red Storm in the final second on the first half for a 1-0 lead. The Bobcats did not blink, however, as Cody Peryea scored in the 53rd minute to equalize and Brett Juntunen scored on a Peryea assist to give the Bobcats the lead three minutes later. Both winning goalie Lucas Smart and Saranac Lake keeper Brett Dawson had six saves. ■ - Sun Community News has had reporters at 17 sectional contests over the past week.

Class D quarterfinals held By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The Class D boy’s soccer playoffs were rescheduled due to continue under heav y winds and rain Wednesday, Oct. 25, with the winners set to play for the sectional title Saturday, Oct. 28, at 2 p.m. on the turf at Plattsburgh High School. The top seed and top ranked Class D team, Chazy, had a bye into the semifinals, and will face fourth seed Crown Point at 6 p.m. on George Brendler Field. Second seed Keene will host a 3 p.m. kickoff against third seed Willsboro.

GIRLS QUARTERS: GRIFFINS 1, JOHNSBURG 0

In the Class D quarterfinal round, the Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport Griffins held a 24-9 advantage in shots and controlled most of the game in a 1-0 win over Division III champion Johnsburg Oct. 19. Taylor Gough scored the lone goal on a rebound play in the 13th minute of play, as Malynda Lobdell made eight saves for the Griffins, who bore down on defense in the second half, allowing only two shots by the Jaguars.

CHAZY 4, KEENE 1

At George Brendler Field, the top seeded Chazy Lady Eagles scored two goals in each half to earn a 4-1 win over eighth seed Keene Oct. 19. Lindsey Gilmore, who moved up to play the attacking midfielder, opened the scoring for the Eagles and then assisted on the

other three goals scored by Amelia Stevens, Mackenzie Guay and Olivia McLennan. Abby Gonyo had four saves in the win, while Alyssa Summo had 12 for Keene and Brenna DeWalt added two more. Elly Smith scored the lone goal for Keene. “We have been coming together as a team well,” coach Sam Signor said. “We stressed all season long playing together as a team. We had a great week of practice and everyone was focused. We have had some injuries and we brought three girls up from the JV team and all three played extremely well.”

MORIAH 2, CROWN POINT 1, OT

The third seed Moriah Vikings needed extra time in their game against sixth seed Crown Point Oct. 19, but Madison Olcott scored her second goal of the game off an assist from Maddie Morgan in the second overtime for a 2-1 win over the Panthers. Crown Point held an early 1-0 lead as Shawna McIntosh scored in the 19th minute, with Olcott scoring in the 69th and 95th minutes for the Vikings. Sam Hayes made nine saves in the win, while Hannah Palmer made 18 for the Panthers.

LAKE PLACID 1, SCHROON LAKE 0

Returning from injury, Mackenzie Kondrat sent the Lady Blue Bombers into the sectional semifinals with a 77th minute goal as second seed Lake Placid defeated seventh seed Schroon Lake Oct, 19 completing a Division II sweep over Division III team for the second year in a row. Shelby Jewtraw made five saves for the Bombers, while Alora Bearor had 14 for Schroon Lake. ■

Cancer survivor highlights life-saving effort Plattsburgh blood drive draws stream of donations By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | For the first two months after he was diagnosed with leukemia, former corrections officer Mike Mitchell doesn’t remember much. He’d walked into the hospital on Oct. 8, 2014 with both bacterial and venereal pneumonia. He was sick, and after some time, he wasn’t getting any better. “If somebody had coughed, I’d have died,” he said. So a doctor tested him for cancer. When the results came back, his life was never the same. A healthy person’s platelet count would be around 150,000 to 450,000. When he was admitted, Mitchell had

100 platelets. Doctors discovered that he had a brain bleed, and gave him a 10 percent chance of living. But his medical team didn’t give up on him. “For the next four days, they gave me platelets ‘round the clock,” Mitchell said. They gave him so many, in fact, that he “broke the bank” and the hospital was forced to reach out to the American Red Cross to save his life. In the end, the treatment worked. He survived. Now he dedicates his life to spreading the word about his experience, occasionally speaking at blood drives around the region to drum up support and encourage others to donate. “I owe my life to these people,” he said. Mitchell appeared at a recent blood drive in Plattsburgh to benefit the North Country Regional Blood Center, sponsored by Twinstate Technologies and Taylor Rental. According to North Country Regional Blood Bank Supervisor Christi Beck, it could only take one or two incidents like Mitchell’s to wipe out their blood supply. And the closest blood bank, apart from

Twinstate Technologies recently partnered with Taylor Rental to host a blood drive to benefit the North Country Regional Blood Center. Photo by Elizabeth Izzo the North Country Regional Blood Bank, is in Albany, according to Beck. “So you can see why it’s important to have blood locally.” The local blood bank serves CVPH along with other hospitals in Elizabethtown, Malone, Massena, Saranac Lake and Glens Falls.

They host five blood drives a week, minimum, Beck said — and the Plattsburgh donor center is open five days a week. “All the blood we collect is used locally,” Beck said. “When you donate, it’s going to helping your friends, your family, your neighbors.” ■

Adirondack Regional Theatre vandalized Vandals smash door, scatter costumes at downtown theatre space By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Authorities are searching for the vandals who broke into the Adirondack Regional Theatre’s headquarters in downtown Plattsburgh early Friday and trashed nearly a hundred boxes of kids costumes.

“ART had several, maybe even over a hundred, boxes filled with costumes on site,” said ART co-founder Tom Lavin in an email. “The ‘visitors’ decided to break into many of these boxes and litter the second floor of the property with their contents.” The suspects gained entry to the 115 Court Street headquarters by breaking through a historical door, Lavin said. A neighbor tipped off the Plattsburgh City Police early Saturday morning after seeing flashlights flickering in the darkened building. Lavin got the call around 3:30 a.m. “I haven’t figured out who it was yet,” Lavin told The Sun. “I do want to thank them when I do find them.”

Lavin said the arts group is still assessing the cost of damages and determining if the costumes can be saved. But the door, he said, will likely cost between $1,200 and $1,300 to replace. The prop room received similar treatment, he said, and several items were damaged. “I would wager to say we’re probably adding another couple of thousand on top of that,” Lavin said. “What a waste.” ART has been restoring the downtown property since a bank gifted it to them after it had sat empty for nearly a decade. » Vandalism Cont. on pg. 13

Langley, McDonald compete for Peru Town Supervisor Meet the two candidates running for the town’s top slot By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PERU | Two candidates are running for Peru Town Supervisor. The Peru Town Supervisor seat is open. Town Supervisor Peter Glushko is retiring. We submitted the following questionnaires to the candidates. Their responses are below. Peru residents will be able to cast their vote at the polling place located at St. Augustine’s Parish Center, 3030 Main St. The general election is Nov. 7.

BRANDY MCDONALD Age: 44 Party Line: Democratic, Conservative, Working Families Qualiﬁcations “My first public service experience started with participating on the Peru Town Youth Committee for six years. I also volunteered to coach for several town youth sports programs for eight years. My qualifications include; Peru Town Councilman for the past 10 years and the appointed position of Deputy Supervisor for eight years. My years of experience in both town positions gave me a vast understanding of what is required and expected to be able to perform the position of town supervisor.” Goals if elected: “I hope to accomplish the continuance of encouraging our town board and staff the importance of working together as a team in order to perform real changes, which will enable our town to thrive. “I decided to run for the position of Peru Town Supervisor because this is my home town, and I want to continue my commitment to be an active representative for all residents. During my tenure as one of the Peru Town Councilmen, we have accomplished many productive projects such as approving the building of the new water filtration plant to improve our drinking water, keeping our land taxes down under the tax cap for the past several years, approved the overdue improvements needed to our aging and unsafe walkway to our town hall, and approving the completion of our new town walking path for our residents to enjoy.”

JAMES “JIMMY” LANGLEY Age: 57 Party Line: Republican

The BG/NC Sun | October 28, 2017 • 13

» Vandalism Cont. from pg. 11 The group, which works mainly with local youth, sponsors numerous performances annually, most recently this summer when they performed Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland, Jr.” at various locations around the region. “We don’t have a suspect yet at this point,” Plattsburgh City Police Lieutenant Brad Kilroy. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Plattsburgh City Police Department 518-563-3411. ■

Qualiﬁcations “Former Peru Planning Board member and chairman. Former Clinton County Planning Board Member. Former Clinton County Legislator for 17 years, termed out in 2015. Chairman of the Board for 13 years. Current Town of Peru Councilman. Small business owner for 27 years, working in my field for 37 years.” Goals if elected: “If elected, I hope to make advancements in infrastructure. Specifically, find a new water source for town water. Upgrade our sewer systems and pave more roads per year than present, all the while holding the line on property taxes. “While at the county, we built the Connector Road, a new airport and we made great advancements at the Clinton Community College, just to name a few. With very little change in the rate per $1,000. In the past two years for the Town of Peru, I secured a grant for $7,800 to put a roof on the Lyons Road Schoolhouse and promoted a plan by town employee Robbie Wright to repair the hoops over the salt shed roof, which saved the town thousands instead of a full replacement.”

Authorities are searching for suspects who broke into Adirondack Regional Theatre early Saturday morning. Photo provided

A little known fact: “A little known fact by most is I know quite a bit about construction and do most of my work myself. I’m constantly improving my skill set and trying new products. I also do pretty much all of the maintenance work on the properties my wife and I own. I have seven to eight hours of mowing alone a week in the nicer weather months. I like to stay busy.” ■

cant variety between each of the 10 regions. At 50 percent, labor participation in the North Country is the lowest of any of region. “It suggests people have given up looking for jobs in certain cases,” DiNapoli. “And they just pull themselves out of the job market.” While net total job growth numbers are steady for the state as a whole, most of these new jobs are created in the five boroughs of New York City. Once surrounding counties like Suffolk and Westchester are factored in, the number reaches 90 percent of all new jobs statewide. Upstate job creation has stalled at .03 percent annually. “We really do have a different picture when we get north of the downstate counties, so that’s when the dynamic in your region comes into play as well,” DiNapoli said. Another challenge is matching workers with the new jobs emerging in manufacturing sector.

Median household incomes are lower, and so is the labor participation rate. The population is shrinking. Job growth is largely frozen, and child poverty rates are higher. But property taxes are lower, sales tax collection is robust and there are a number of promising economic development and initiatives on the horizon. State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli visited Plattsburgh last Friday to deliver the results of the North Country’s economic profile, part of a series of regional breakouts being rolled out this year. “We are a big state, and we are a diverse state,” he said.

BY THE NUMBERS

From 2010-16, the state’s population grew by 1.8 percent — but decreased in the North Country by 1.9 percent. In August, the unemployment rate was 5.6 percent compared to a statewide average of 4.9 percent. “Unemployment, relative to other regions in the state, is higher in the North Country,” said DiNapoli, calling it a “trend that is of some concern.” Essex County has the highest median household income in the region at $52,758; St. Lawrence is lowest at $44,700. Clinton ranks $49,930. Property owners in the six-county region pay lower property taxes than elsewhere in the state. The estimated median tax bill in Clinton County was $3,858 in 2015, less than half of the statewide average of $8,173. And housing is more affordable than elsewhere in the state. “Just over 25 percent of homeowners in the North Country spent over 30 percent of their income on housing,” said DiNapoli, referring to the federal threshold for affordability. Statewide, the number is 38 percent. “That’s a plus in terms of your region’s standards,” DiNapoli said.

‘UNIQUE ASSETS’

Despite the challenges, the comptroller said the North Country has much to be optimistic about, including regional economic development council efforts, the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative for the City of Plattsburgh and $125 million state investment into Norsk Titanium, which the governor touted in a visit just days before. Efforts to reposition the region as transportation and aerospace cluster levering its proximity to Canada is an asset, he said. So are developments in alternative energy projects that aim to capitalize on the emerging green economy, he said. “All of this is very very exciting and creates great opportunities for the future,” he said. “The North Country has many advantages and enviable assets to build upon: world-class natural resources, spectacular natural environment, an impressive higher education network — and that becomes so key to an economic future.” Tourism is also a historical strength and classic growth area, he said.

STATEWIDE PICTURE

CONCERNS AND CHALLENGES

Zooming out, DiNapoli said while the state continues to recover from the Great Recession, there are some pending storm clouds. While North Country sales tax collection receipts are robust — the first half of the

The comptroller flagged an aging workforce and high unemployment as leading concerns. State unemployment numbers as a whole are rebounding, he said, but there’s signifi-

State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli addressed local business leaders in Plattsburgh on Oct. 20, 2017. Photo by Pete DeMola year’s growth of 4.5 percent surpassed the statewide average of 3.3 percent — the state’s most recent monthly cash report revealed tax revenues are $387 million below projections. “We’re falling short of the expectation when we’ve already lowered and reduced the initial projection,” DiNapoli said. Much of the deficit is a result of reduction in personal income tax collection, a key revenue source for the state. Changes in federal policy may also lead the state into choppy fiscal waters, including President Donald Trump’s executive order to stop making scheduled payments to insurance companies, part of his long-standing pledge to repeal “Obamacare.” “If the more extreme proposals for repealing would take effect, you could conservatively say over the next few years we could lose something like $6 billion in federal money, largely from the Medicaid program,” DiNapoli said. The state would then be forced to decide to make up for those funds and allow 2 million state residents to go uninsured. The comptroller was also wary about how the president’s expansive tax reform plan would impact state finances. The state and local tax deduction (SALT) permits taxpayers in New York to subtract payments to state and local governments from their federally taxable income. In a procedural vote, the U.S. Senate on

Thursday voted 52-47 to repeal the statute. Without the SALT deduction, taxpayers would pay federal income taxes on the money they pay to state and local government — making it in effect, a form of double taxation, DiNapoli said. “We don’t know the fine print yet,” DiNapoli said. “I just don’t trust this is going to come out in a way that will protect the hardworking people of New York.” DiNapoli said any deficits at the federal level will trickle down to the state. The loss of at $850 million in federal aid will allow the state budget director to pull the trigger on launching a contingency mechanism to make up for the shortfall. It’s not the ideal scenario, said DiNapoli, and will likely be manifested at the local level in cutbacks in aid to local governments and school districts. “We’re all going to come out as losers in that equation,” he said. Despite the gloomy outlook, DiNapoli expressed optimism that the state could work with the federal government on shoring up outdated infrastructure, including $27 billion for the state’s local bridges alone. “If Washington — starting with the president and members of Congress — are serious about dealing with infrastructure, I think that’d be a great opportunity for us to take advantage of a renewed partnership in this area with the federal government.” ■

Film fest lands in Plattsburgh next week Activist Le Ly Hayslip slated to speak ahead of screening By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The Lake Champlain International Film Festival (LCIFF) returns Nov. 1-5. The 4th annual festival, held at the Strand Center on Brinkerhoff Street, will feature over

40 film screenings from a variety of genres. Le Ly Hayslip, the founder of the Global Village Foundation, is one of the festival’s special guests this year. Hayslip’s memoirs “When Heaven and Earth Changed Places” and “Child of War, Woman of Peace,” which chronicle her childhood in Vietnam amidst the Vietnam War, are the subject of the one of the films being screened at the festival. “She’s really known as an international activist,” said Michael Devine, a director at

working in Vietnam and aiding in her efforts to start peace organizations and provide supplies. “We’re hoping that story becomes part of her talk.” Hayslip will also meet with SUNY Plattsburgh students at the college president’s home prior to the festival, Devine said. North Carolina-based filmmaker Adam Kritzer is also scheduled to appear at the festival. Kritzer will take the Strand Center stage on Nov. 3 for a question and answer » Film Fest Cont. on pg. 18

large of the LCIFF. The 1993 film “Heaven & Earth,” directed by Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone, is slated to run Saturday, Nov. 4. Hayslip will speak at 6:30 p.m. prior to the screening. “What’s amazing is that she has a deep connection to the North Country through the Conroy family,” Devine said, referencing the family of County Legislator Simon Conroy (Area 4), who is also a director at large for LCIFF. “They built a relationship with her and she came to the North Country, and that led to the Conroy family

NUTRITION AND ISSUES FACING THE SENIOR COMMUNITY

APPOINTMENT COMPANIONS ARE A

SMART MOVE

Visits to a physician are just one step people make in an effort to improve their well-being. While it’s important that everyone visit their physicians at least once a year for a checkup, seniors may need to see their physicians more frequently than other age groups.

People are learning that bringing a family member or friend along to doctors’ appointments can be a smart way to make the most of doctor/patient interactions.

When visiting the doctor, it is easy for anyone to miss important components of what the doctor is saying, and it’s just as easy to misunderstand certain instructions or medication information. Seniors who bring companions along to appointments with their physicians can reduce the risk of misunderstanding advice or diagnoses given by their doctors. Data from U.S. News and World Report states that about one-third of seniors still living on their own take a companion with them to their routine doctor’s office visits. Companions are typically spouses, but they can include children or other family members as well. Patients may find there are many

advantages to bringing someone along to an appointment. And companions may want to learn more about patients’ goals at each appointment prior to going along so they can prepare and know how to help during the appointment. LISTEN People tend to forget at least half of what they hear in the doctor’s office, says the Archives of Internal Medicine. This tendency may be increased when patients are nervous about the potential outcome of their visits. Bringing a companion along means that both people are actively listening. Together, the information they’ve heard can combine to provide a full account of the visit. TAKING NOTES Companions can jot down important notes about the appointment, such as dates and times for follow-up visits, medication advice and any other instructions that may be forgotten once the patient leaves the office. Companions can later translate the jargon-heavy

language of a physician into an understandable language the patient can fully understand.

MEDICAL HISTORY Sometimes a companion can be a useful resource, calling a doctor’s attention to a patient’s prior hospitalizations and illnesses. Companions can even call attention to any medications the patient is currently taking. SERVING AS AN ADVOCATE Very often a companion can operate as a patient advocate, clarifying questions or getting further information out of a doctor if the patient is hesitant to ask. If the information isn’t clear, the companion can raise red flags or ask to have the instructions put in a different light. TRANSLATION Sometimes patients need companions who speak their native languages when their physicians do not.

» Film Fest Cont. from pg. 15 session following the screening of his film “Good Funk.” Other filmmakers slated to make an appearance include Joshua Raymond Lee (“A Desert Storm”), Mia Niagolova (Welcome to Vermont: Four Stories of Resettled Identity”), Josh O’Brien (“Man with a Plan”), Aristofanis Soulikias (“Last Dance on Main”), Jason Andrew Torrance (“Melodrama”) and members of local band The Mountain Carol (“Mountain Carol/Adventure Safari”).

72-HOUR FILM CONTEST

The 72-hour fi lm contest will again return this year. From Oct. 30 to Nov. 2, teams of fi lmmakers will hit the streets with a purpose — to complete one short movie, filmed entirely on a cellphone, over the span of three days. “The biggest innovation this year is the sheer amount of student and community involvement,” Devine said. This film contest, he said, is a part of that. Last year, the contest was announced one month prior to the festival. This year the contest winners will actually be screened as part of the festival. “Hopefully that’ll give community members, their families and students a sense that they’re actually part of the festival,” he said. “We’re hoping that everyone in the community finds something, from kids to people who want to see old films, that they’re interested in. There’s a ton of films, and it’s super cheap.” Tickets are $10 and will give movie-goers access to 40 films throughout the festival. To view a full schedule, visit lcifilmfest.com. ■

Candidates vie for open Beekmantown super seat Dyer, Davis face off to replace Dennis Relation

SAMUEL DYER Age: 53 Party Line: Democratic, Conservative

By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

BEEKMANTOWN | Two candidates are running for Beekmantown’s top slot. The Beekmantown Town Supervisor seat is open. Town Supervisor Dennis Relation is stepping down in favor of running for a seat on the town board. We submitted the following questionnaires to the candidates. Their responses are below. Beekmantown residents will be able to cast their votes at polling places located at Beekmantown Fire Station #2, 36 Lake Shore Rd. in Plattsburgh, or Beekmantown Fire Station #1, 6973 State Rte. 22 in West Chazy, depending on which legislative district they reside in. The general election is Nov. 7.

Qualiﬁcations “I graduated in 1971. I took two years of applied science at Thompson and graduated in 1973. I’ve worked at the sawmill and sugar bush for years. In 2014, I lost my wife of 39 years to cancer. Since then, I’ve gotten much more involved in the town. I’ve been attending town board meetings since 2014 and I joined the planning board in 2014.” Goals if elected: “I don’t have any claims. Salt sand storage and reducing groundwater contaminates — that’s a big issue. I’m not running because I think I could do better than the current board. I was offered the opportunity.” A little known fact: “I like animals, but everyone knows that. I have 40 beef cattle, four horses, two mini donkeys and two swiss oxen. I make maple syrup.” ■

Qualiﬁcations “I have spent 12 years on the town board in Beekmantown. The last six years, I’ve been the Area 3 legislator, and I spent two of those years as chair. I’m currently the chair of the Personnel Committee ... I’m a current member of the Farm Bureau, I’ve served on the Agri-Mark Board, in the past I was vice chairman of the Clinton/Essex County Farm Service Agency, and I’m a current member of the Ally Federated Cooperative, I’m a lifelong Beekmantown resident. My wife, my family and I own SMR Dyer Farms and I’m the third generation owner of Shield’s Vegetables.” Goals if elected: “I want to turn the town board into a proactive board instead of a reactive board. It’s easier to deal with problems when you have a concept of what’s happening around the area. Right now there’s two big things: the first is infrastructure, natural gas and water. We finished up one water district, and started another one. I’ve worked on issues similar to that as legislator. The biggest thing right now is salt contamination. We know that there are wells that are contaminated. I’m committed to working with the DEC to make sure that’s taken care of. I’m also concerned about paying for the new $1.3 million salt storage facility. That’s going to be bonded. I’d like to make sure that taxpayers will not be saddled with a large increase.” A little known fact: “I think the biggest thing — I’m not afraid to stand up for anyone or anything. One thing I’ve learned in my 20+ years in government is to keep my eyes and ears always open. And I can talk to anyone in any manner. I can handle an irate taxpayer correctly — that’s one aspect that I have. I’m very easy to talk to. I love conversations, and that’s a way you can figure things out. If you put level heads together and think about problems things are not as difficult as they seem. I’m a communicator and I’m very accessible.” ■
