PLATTSBURGH — As a child, Andy MacDougall stuck pillows under his bed sheets and snuck downstairs to watch movies at night with the sound completely turned down. “The first time I saw King Kong was on a French-Canadian station with the noise turned down so I wouldn’t wake anyone up,” he said. “That inspired my love for genre films.” Today, MacDougall is working to preserve 16 mm films as a collector and

PLATTSBURGH — The past year has brought tremendous and historic change in Albany and New York state, says Gov. Andrew Cuomo. “It is that we made a conscious decision to put politics aside,” said Cuomo, speaking to a crowd of more than 400 at Plattsburgh State on Feb. 3. “We are New Yorkers first. We are here to represent the people. Let’s find commonality and compromise.” A lot was accomplished in Albany, he said. But it was a long year. “It was also a highly successful year.” Last year, lawmakers closed a $10
billion budget deficit without resorting to new taxes or borrowing. Albany enacted the first ever property-tax cap, provided flood relief, passed ethics reforms and more. “Last year, New Yorkers were hurting,” Cuomo said. “This economic recession has wreaked havoc on people’s lives.” Albany was filled with scandal and was ineffective, he said. “When citizens don’t trust in their government, their government is powerless,” Cuomo said. “That’s where we started a year ago.” But lawmakers chose to change the culture of Albany and put people first.

Computer Club helps senior citizens By Stephen Bartlett
stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — They come to learn to communicate with their children and grandchildren. Some may have used computers at work, but are lost beyond the software program they used at their job. Others just want to learn something new. “I am the financial secretary at church and have a new laptop and want to be able to use it,” said Melissa Goodrich. “That’s my main reason for coming to this class.” Ed Schiffler is president of the Clinton County Senior Citizens Computer Club. He and his wife, Jean, also teach basic and advanced computer classes for senior citizens. “We used to go out and do courses in senior citizens housing,” Mr. Schiffler said. But now they offer their services out of the Senior Center on North Catherine Street in the City of Plattsburgh. “They come in with their notebooks and they want to learn,” Mr. Schiffler said. “That inspires us.” Roughly 10 years ago, he and his wife joined the Computer Club. Club members immediately asked him to join the board, shortly after that nominating him vice president and then president. Mr. Schiffler is still president today. “I like the challenge of it,” he said. “If we weren’t doing it, we would be sitting home watching television.” The Schifflers must stay on top of the latest technology.
Computer Club To learn more about the Computer Club and classes, call Ed Schiffler at 643-8575, or the Senior Center at 563-6180.
“It keeps us on our toes,” Mrs. Schiffler said. They take their time with computer classes. “We go very slowly,” Mrs. Schiffler said. “If we have to add a day, we add a day.” Computer Club is once a month for a cost of $10. The money goes into purchasing computers and teaching classes. Mr. Schiffler ’s beginner ’s course is 16 sessions over eight weeks. He doesn’t even turn the computer on until the third day. Next, he covers cut, copy and paste. “That is where the rubber hits the pavement,” Mr. Schiffler said. Mr. Schiffler appreciates how excited students are when they leave with their new knowledge. “We always have a good time,” said Ed Dragoon. Jerry Cheney travels from Saranac Lake. “I wanted to know what I didn’t know,” Cheney said. “You know how to navigate but always have a feeling there’s an easier way.” He highly recommended the computer courses at the senior center. “I can do almost everything completely now,” Cheney said. “I learned how the digital world really works.”

“This is a great chance for our senior citizens to come to class and learn the basics of computers and join the online world,” said John Gillen, Computer Club secretary.
Mrs. Schiffler likes the interaction and imparting knowledge. “It makes us feel good to help people,” Mr. Schiffler said.

You may not have seen all the tobacco marketing in the stores, but your kids have. Itʼs right there by the register, where they check out. Studies show that kids are twice as likely as adults to notice and remember retail tobacco advertising. The more tobacco marketing they see, the more likely kids are to smoke.

Mr. Rob Shumway, Kiwanis Club president, and Dr. Nancy Church, Awards Committee chair, presented Bryson with a plaque and gift certificate for his 20+ years of repairing and refurbishing more than 2000 bicycles for the Christmas Bureau. The Christmas Bureau distributes the bicycles to area youth. According to Kiwanis President Shumway, “Bob Bryson is the type of volunteer we admire most. He goes about his good work for the benefit of our community without any desire for recognition or fanfare.” Earlier, the Kiwanis Club also recognized Ms. Charlene Wolf posthumously for her extensive contributions
Plattsburgh State looking for host families Students and adults are coming from some of the poorest countries in the world
By Stephen Bartlett
stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — A group of students and adults from some of the poorest countries in the world is coming to Plattsburgh to study leadership and government. Afterward, the Francophone African youth and adults will return to make a difference in their own countries. But first, they need host families to live with during their Plattsburgh visit. “They will be transported here and from here, so people are not responsible for picking up,” said Theresa Bennett, home-stay coordinator for the Youth Leadership Program at Plattsburgh State. Over the course of two visits — one in the spring and the other the fall — 60 youth and adults will travel from sub-Saharan Africa to Plattsburgh State to study youth leadership, American government and more. The program is funded by a U.S. State Department, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs grant. The $330,000 grant awarded to Plattsburgh State and the Program for African Growth through Education was the only one of its kind given this year. In addition to lessons about leadership and government, visitors will take part in team-building, community mapping, civic responsibility, ethics and community-service activities. The first group is visiting March 25 through April 9, while the second visit is Sept. 16 through Oct. 6. The first group is from Burkina Faso, Chad and Niger. “These are countries we really never had international students from,” said Marguerite Adelman, program director. “This is an amazing opportunity to education ourselves and learn about a part of the world we may never travel to.” The last week of the trip is spent in Albany and Washington D.C., so host families are needed for the first two weeks. “Someone in the family needs to speak French, and I think that is why we are having difficult finding host families,”
Who to contact Those interested in being host families should contact Theresa Bennett: Theresa.bennett@plattsburgh.edu, 5642160, 561-7894 Bennett said. “We are not looking for a high level of French. But someone needs to be comfortable with French.” Each household can host one or two guests. There will be orientations for the host families to learn more about the culture of the participants. “Through home stays, participants will be able to see firsthand what it is like to live in an American home,” said Dr. Bryan Higgens, director of international education at Plattsburgh State. “At the same time, they will be sharing their cultural background, enriching the lives of members of the Plattsburgh community.” “It is very rare you can have this much of an impact on someone in such a short time,” Bennett said. Dr. Jean Ouedraogo sees the exchanges as a boost to the local economy. “The federal funds will translate directly into an employment opportunity for folks within the college and local community and indirectly for service providers,” said the program director. “Beyond such immediate positive impacts, we are hopeful that SUNY Plattsburgh will become part of the mix of U.S. colleges that students from the six countries consider in the future, bringing tuition dollars to the college. “Above all, the future leaders to come out of this extraordinary experience will always associate our community with their success.” Participants in the program will visit government agencies and schools, providing an opportunity to local language and social studies teachers “to engage their students and their visiting peers in an enlightening give and take,” Ouedraogo said. “Truly, it's a long-lasting gift to participants and host families,” he said. “The students will still carry with them the positive outlook and vibrancy of leadership we will awaken in them. We can unleash potential in people we may never see again, but who will be forever grateful.”

Broadband access critical to Adirondack life
N
ot long ago, having a high-speed data connection to the Internet was considered a luxury. But in recent years, broadband access is not just considered a convenience, it’s a foundation of modern life. For both adults and children, it’s virtually a necessity for work, commerce and education. In many schools, children are expected to have broadband access at home. Students are instructed to receive assignments and check homework updates on interactive websites, and to communicate with their teachers off-hours via email. College applications are now completed on websites. People applying for jobs or college admission are expected to submit resumes and information online. Businesses need this connectivity to stay competitive and survive, whether it’s marketing to customers, dealing with suppliers, or securing sales. Real estate agents in the Adirondacks and other resort areas report that people seeking to relocate want to know if Internet broadband access is available before they buy property. Hotel and inn proprietors are questioned whether their accommodations have broadband connections and Wi-Fi before vacationers book a room. Routine banking functions are conducted over the Internet. Patients are increasingly expected to obtain medical test results and communicate with their doctors over the Internet. However, most small communities in the Adirondacks don’t have broadband access, except for satellite service, which can be unreliable and expensive. DSL service in the region is limited. Many of our area residents have only dial-up service, which isn’t practical in the modern world. Regardless of the accelerating trend nationally to have employees work from home, it just isn’t happening here. Instead, we’ve seen a steep decline in populations of towns in the core areas of the Adirondacks. The reason, many believe, is due to the lack of broadband access. In 2009, the Adirondack Regional Assessment Project determined that broadband access in the region was quite limited. The study revealed that only 5 percent of Adirondack communities had widespread broadband access, and these were primarily the moneyed resort towns — or situated on the perimeter of the Adirondack Park. This and other studies have indicated that lack of broadband is hampering businesses, curbing job growth, and throttling
tourism. Development of broadband infrastructure has been identified as critical for economic vitality in the Adirondacks. While the sparse populations scattered over wide areas of the Adirondacks presents a challenge to providing broadband through conventional technologies, recent regulatory developments and technological advances offer hope. A small-scale broadband project in the southern Adirondacks appears to offer a promising solution that might be applicable to vast areas of the Park. In Thurman, an entrepreneur is working with the town government to bring fast, affordable broadband to the town’s 1,200 households. The access is based on broadcasting digital signals over the “white space” between television station signals on the radio-wave spectrum. The Internet connection through this technology is up to eight times faster than satellite. The system transmits signals from dozens of existing telephone poles throughout the rural town to small antennas at households. The technology is promising, because it works over hilly terrain, and transmits through foliage, unlike other digital broadcast options. We at Denton Publications hail the initiative. Now, it’s time for action from all levels of government —to go beyond mere studies and jargon-filled proclamations. Our political leaders need to step forward and encourage such initiatives like the one under way in Thurman. Our politicians should stop giving mere lip service to expansion of rural broadband and take action to develop policies that prompt competition, encouraging local start-ups to utilize various technologies for local broadband networks that fit the requirements of the local terrain and population. This may mean simply relaxing regulations or decreasing bureaucratic permit requirements, or it may mean aggressively pursuing grant funding. Such action is important to our region’s economic health, as well as preserving the unique culture and lifestyle of the Adirondacks.

Standardized testing is a scary proposition T
eachers should be worried about a new evaluation system, of which up to 40 percent is based on student standardized scores. We are talking about one-sizefits-all tests that haven't been shown to improve education, and according to the experts in the field are in fact hurting education. Yes, if I was a teacher, I would find this new approach disheartening. But teachers shouldn't be the only ones frightened. Students should be scared too. After all, the focus in the classroom is going to increasingly be on standardized tests and less on creativity, less on finding new and innovative ways to reach all students. And some students should be more scared than others, especially the ones who don't typically do well on such tests, yet seem to ex-
cel in the classroom. There will be less time for activities that reach these types of students because teachers will be forced to spend that time concentrating on preparing students for the tests. I guess to proponents of the tests, this isn't all that bad. The average student will do well on the test if prepared, and since there are more average students in the classroom during any typical year, well, the ones who do not fit this mold, they basically become a casualty of war. Children learn differently and excel in different areas, but these cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all tests treat them as though they are pieces in a factory line that are expected to fit just so. Many of them can be made to fit just so, but what about those who are just as bright and gifted, yet do not fit just so? Those children will be the ones to suffer as education con-

From the Editor’s Desk tinues to narrow its focus to standardized tests. Yes, these children should be frightened. Parents should be frightened of the new evaluation system being forced on teachers as well. They send their children to school to be educated, to have their potential unleashed, to prepare them to be
sent out into the world, whether that be college or a job. Yet for some parents, their children will not be educated as they had hoped because preparing for standardized tests may not reach them in the way they need to be reached. This will not only not unlock their potential, but it may stunt their growth. Perhaps some of these parents' children were meant to shine in a variety of ways and succeed beyond even their families' wildest dreams. But they needed a button pushed that didn't fall within the parameters of the one-size-fits-all tests their teachers are preparing them for, the same tests that will determine whether their teacher is effective in the classroom. And as long as a majority of the students succeed and excel on the tests, it will appear that the teacher and students are succeeding.
Turbine malfunction could have turned out much worse To the North Countryman: I would like to express my relief that no one was harmed as a result of the third turbine malfunction in Altona since 2009. Firefighters couldn’t access the fire to extinguish it and had to leave the scene while it was still in flames. Setbacks in that area are 1,200 feet from occupied residences. These turbines are 400-plus feet tall. Does anyone else find this troubling? What if it had been a dry summer day and it had fallen over? What damage could the flying parts of the turbine have caused to residents in that area? What negative impact have other residents in this area experienced as a result of these industrial turbines? Please take a moment to consider this important information when considering the placement of industrial wind projects. Residential areas should be safe enough for people to live there. That is the purpose of residential zoning and that should be carefully enforced. Your families’ safety could depend on it. Courtney Manor Morrisonville

40 Days for Life To the North Countryman: Did you know that abortions are performed right here at Planned Parenthood in Plattsburgh? Many people are not aware that this is taking place, thinking abortion is something that happens someplace else. But it’s happening here. From Feb. 22 – April 1, local Christians will take part in 40 Days for Life – an innovative pro-life project that consists of prayer and fasting, constant vigil and community outreach. At its center, 40 Days for Life asks all people of good will to pray and fast for an end to abortion. The Plattsburgh office is one of hundreds of Planned Parenthood facilities across the United States. Nationally – according to its own annual report – Planned Parenthood performed 332,278 abortions in its most recent fiscal year. This organization claims to help women – and prevent abortions. This is clearly not the case. 40 Days for Life’s presence outside Planned Parenthood is a prayer vigil. We see abortion as a spiritual challenge, not a political one. It may be portrayed as a protest or a demonstration, but that is not the case. 40 Days for Life is a peaceful, prayerful outreach. In other communities, 40 Days for Life campaigns have increased awareness and led to a significant decline in the number of abortions at Planned Parenthood. The prayerful presence has also helped a number of Planned Parenthood employees leave the abortion industry. We pray that will be the case here in Plattsburgh as well.

Except the teachers I know won't settle for this. They want all their students to succeed. They entered the profession to reach all students and come up with a variety of creative ways to teach in the classroom. I wonder how these types of teachers will survive in such an educational environment? If I was a teacher I would be scared. It's time for the public to begin speaking out for public education. It seems as though business interests are taking over the classroom when it should be the teaching professional deciding how to best reach students. Except when I talk to them, they say their voices are being ignored.

P L AT T S B U R G H — L a s t year proved to be a successful one for CVPH Medical Center, says President and Chief Executive Officer Stephens Mundy. This occurred despite ongoing pressures related to health care reform. Mundy spoke at the annual meeting of the CVPH Corporation. He said outpatient services continue to grow. The new Cardiac Short Stay Unit introduced in late January served approximately 1,200 people, Mundy said. “CVPH is now able to offer private rooms to 70 percent of its inpatients, which adds greatly to satisfaction.” Other highlights of the year included the opening of a third cardiac catheterization laboratory in January, expansion of the Emergency Care Center in September and recruitment of seven new physicians and six allied

through his own film series at the North Country Cooperative in the City of Plattsburgh. “I just think the medium is worth observing.” MacDougall has been a movie buff since watching Mary Poppins at three in the theater with his family. “My family and I lived in Ithaca and moved to Plattsburgh a year later in ‘65.” Film geeks, he said, are smitten by the magic of when the lights go down and the image flickers across the screen. While attending St. John’s School, MacDougall befriended a fellow sixth grader whose family collected 8 mm silent movies. He borrowed one the student brought to school and obtained an old catalog. I used my allowance from lawn mowing to buy 8 mm movies,” MacDougall said. “That went on for several years before I bought my first 16 mm film.” Someone gave MacDougall a catalog when he was a sophomore in high school, immediately hooking him on reel-to-reel 16 mm films. “I used different sources to build my 16 mm collection.” As a junior, he discovered the classic comedians and took a break from monster movies, becoming completely obsessed with W.C. Fields and the Marx Brothers. “That’s where all my attention went for several years,” he said. “I became a really big fan of Monty Python.” The National Honor Society enabled MacDougall to conduct his own paper drive. He began accumulating papers in his garage and used the money for film rentals. “By the time I graduated high school I was buying films and then in college showing them at dorm parties,” he said. “I helped myself through school that way, showing films for money on the weekend.” MacDougall ended up landing a job with the Inmate Higher Education Program, until its funding was pulled in 1995. “Teaching film in prison was the most fascinating film experience I ever had.” Today, MacDougall is trying to sustain some kind of a 16 mm film sanctuary. Between shorts and features, he owns at least 100 individual reels. “We are the last ones between Montreal and Albany.” On the last Saturday of each month at 7:15 p.m., he shows a 16 mm film at the North Country Food Cooperative.

The above resulted in net patient revenues of $294,824,993 for the year, which exceeded operating expenses by $7,469,569 for an operating margin of 2.5 percent. Revenues were up more than $17 million from 2010, while the operating margin was down slightly more than

Cuomo from page 1 Last year’s session was productive and historic, Cuomo said. New York led the nation when it passed marriage equality for all New Yorkers, and the middle class paid the lowest tax rate in 58 years. “We’ve only just begun, and now is the time to really get to work,” Cuomo said. His executive budget closes the current $2 billion deficit with no new taxes or new fees. It proposes sweeping mandate relief and pension reform and launches historic education reform, putting students ahead of the bureaucracy. The budget further lays the foundation for an innovative $25 billion economic development agenda, funded largely by leveraging billions in private sector investment rather than by taxpayer dollars. “New York must stay ahead of the competition,” Cuomo said. Cuomo spoke of building the largest convention center in the nation, pushing New York up from its 12th-place ranking. “New York should be first in the nation.” He suggested a second round of regional economic development awards. “You really have to develop that regional economy and come up with one comprehensive vision for the region.” His budget includes a new round of $200 million in competitive resources for the Governor’s Regional Economic Development Councils. Cuomo said in a perfect world he likely would not support casino gaming. But it is not perfect and New York is already in the casino business. “Let’s amend the constitution so we can do the same types of activities we are doing now and maximize the jobs and profits for New Yorkers.” The governor said one of his main priorities was education. “Public education is big business in New York.” And everyone has a high priced lobbyist, he said, except students. “Well, this year that is going to change.” Cuomo said he will become that lobbyist. “We have a crisis in education,” he said. “It has become more about the business interests than that students interests.” New York spends the most on education yet is ranked 38 in terms of graduation rates. “The answer isn’t more money,” Cuomo said. “We need to focus on what is actually working for our kids. We need to focus on the performance of the education system.” He reiterated his Feb. 16 deadline for a new evaluation system for principals and teachers or he would put one in place himself. “We have an ambitious agenda,” Cuomo said. “It is major reform and a controversial agenda.” Change is hard, the governor said. “Change really comes when you make it happen,” he said. “I need you to help make this change possible. Democracy works when the people engage.”

Cardinal Points receives top honors By Stephen Bartlett
stephen@denpubs.com P L AT T S B U R G H — C a r d i n a l Points, Plattsburgh State’s student-run newspaper, has once again garnered top honors. The Associated Collegiate Press named Cardinal Points an AllAmerican newspaper, this time for the spring 2011 semester. This is the 12th time the university’s independent, student-run newspaper earned the ranking. Cardinal Points was named to the Associated Collegiate Press Hall of Fame in October 2010 after receiving the honor 10 times in an 11-year span. The All American status is awarded to student newspapers for journalistic excellence. All American status is bestowed on only about 20 percent of college
newspapers nationwide. To be named an All American, Cardinal Points had to score 900 or higher out of 1,090 points and receive at least four Marks of Distinction out of the five possible. For the spring 2011 semester, Cardinal Points received a score of 915 and Marks of Distinction in four categories: coverage of content; photos, art and graphics; layout and design; and leadership. “I am, as always, very pleased with the students and what they do to put out a good newspaper - not only in print, but online,” said Shawn Murphy, Cardinal Points adviser and an associate professor and chair of the Journalism Department at Plattsburgh State. Through the online publication, Cardinal Points has been able to reach an audience beyond students and faculty. Murphy said it has ex-
panded to include alumni, community members and even prospective students. Murphy said Editor-in-Chief Matt Rosenberg has done a great job at the helm of Cardinal Points. The paper received All American status for both of the semesters in which Rosenberg was Editor-inChief. “He has a perfect record as Editor-in-Chief,” Murphy said. “This is not unheard of, but it is pretty rare.” Other student-editors for the spring 2011 semester were Managing Editor Jameson Sempey; News Editor Melissa Erny; Associate News Editors Gabrielle Bilik and Amanda Bradford; Fuse Editor Jenna Burleigh; Associate Fuse Editor Matthew Hamilton; Sports Editor Brian Cremo; Associate Sports Editor Eric Gissendanner; Opin-

Peru considers moving sixth graders from middle school By Stephen Bartlett
stephen@denpubs.com PERU — Peru Central School is considering moving the sixth grade from the middle school to the intermediate school in an effort to save $200,000. The move would also benefit students, according to research. That change is among other cost-savings the school district is considering as it tackles a tight 2012-13 spending plan. “We are at a point in time when like many of the state’s rural school districts we are now entering the fourth extraordinarily challenging budget season,” said Interim Superintendent A. Paul Scott. “We will find ways to respond to the financial environment.” At this point, it appears Peru Central School may need to identify roughly $1 million in cost reductions, to take effect July 1 forward. In some certification areas, entire positions will be subject to elimination, such as if the district requires fewer K-6 class sections next school year. In some other certification areas, the least senior colleague within a particular certification area may be subjected to reduced employment. A few part time positions might no longer be required. Some of the reductions are as much a result of declining enrollment as cost reductions.
Prospective areas of consideration for cost reductions include administrative, operations supervision, transportation, clerical, custodian, pupil personnel services, K-6 elementary grades and various K-12 and 7-12 content areas. Once the school board discusses a preliminary list of possible reductions, Scott will be in a position to begin scheduling employment-related meetings with the district employees who might be impacted by cost reductions. Some of the reduced employed could occur through attrition. “We are also looking at taking the sixth-grade program, which is the first year of our middle school program, and returning it to our intermediate school,” Scott said. “Part of the focus is cost reduction, because it would allow us to reduce costs by $200,000. It would mean starting next school year if we redistribute how students are enrolled on campus in terms of grade span, we would be in a position to administer programs with one less administrator.” Besides cost savings, Scott said according to research it could be beneficial for students to remain one more year in elementary school. “It turns out there are benefits to that,” he said. “We are not the only school district across the nation and state that looks at returning grade six to intermediate.” Early 20th Century American schools placed sixth graders in elementary school, which ended in eighth grade. After World War I, more schools began ending elementary school with sixth grade. In the later part of the 20th Century, millions of sixth graders were moved to middle schools, which most often had grades six through eight. Today, 75 percent of sixth graders nationwide attend middle school.

Yet sixth grade is a major crossroads in a child’s development, Scott said, and it would seem important to place them in the proper environment during this period. The Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy at Duke university examined whether Interim Peru Central School Supersixth grade should be part of intendent is looking at an array of elementary or middle ways to overcome a $1 million school. deficit, including moving sixth It noted that a sixth grad- graders back to elementary er in elementary school is school.

The study found that sixth graders attending middle schools are more likely to be cited for discipline problems that those attending elementary schools. The higher infraction rates by sixth graders who are placed in middle school persist at least through ninth grade. The study concluded that there is a strong argument for separating sixth graders from older adolescents. Scott said that change would also result in cost reductions in terms of classifications of positions. “We can do the redistribution with less cost to our school community.”

Ryan, Lady Eagles continue to grow By Tim Follos
denpubs@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — Beekmantown’s girls varsity basketball team traveled to Moriah for a CVAC matchup on Feb. 2, and, as they have all season, the Eagles used sharp interior passing, textbook post moves, persistent rebounding and a big height advantage to defeat a more experienced team. Beekmantown improved to 9-3 in the CVAC with the 50-38 win, while Moriah fell to 5-7. While Moriah started five seniors, the Eagles have only one senior on their roster (guard Rylei Porter), and are paced by two towering, skilled post players – freshman Shannon Ryan and sophomore Emily Anderson. Ryan scored 26 points against Moriah, making a series of difficult catches – both on the block and on the run – and connecting on an array of put-backs, power moves and inside set shots. Despite some recent low-scoring games, the Beekmantown freshman is on pace to end the season among the top scorers in the region. After scoring 38 against NCCS Dec. 10, she scored 42 against Plattsburgh on Dec. 16. “Shannon’s family is a basketball family,”
Beekmantown Greg Waters noted. “Her aunts played Division I college basketball. One played at West Virginia; the other played at Sienna.” Shannon’s brother, Keegan, is also among the CVAC’s most prolific scorers this season, while older brother Thomas Ryan was named to the All-CVAC First Team last year. “It’s been beneficial to have people surrounding me who like basketball,” Ryan said. “My brother and I practice together. My brother ’s pretty good.” Ryan’s coaches –Waters and former Beekmantown star and SUNY Potsdam captain Kate Munson-Duprey – are stressing the basics right now: power moves near the hoop. They expect Ryan to develop into a complete player, however. “I think she’s a lot like (former NCCS star) Courtney Coryea,” Waters commented. “When I marked Courtney with a guard she posted us up. When I marked her with a post player she took us out the three-point line and beat us off the dribble. That’s what Shannon’s eventually going to do, because she has quick feet. Shannon’s very athletic, as is Emily Anderson. They’re both fast and fundamentally sound and coordinated – especially for a freshman and a sophomore.”
Anderson is clearly an intrinsic part of the Eagles’ success this year. Against Moriah, she tallied 13 points and repeatedly snapped picture-perfect passes to Ryan for easy buckets. Anderson grabbed 21 rebounds in one game this season and dolled out 11 assists in another. “Emily and I just click,” Ryan said. “She’s a great passer and an all-around great player.” Despite all of their success this year, a 44-
10 thrashing by an undefeated Saranac Central team on Jan. 2 showed the Eagles how much they need to improve in order to join the ranks to the area’s elite teams. Ryan seems to embrace the challenge. “I have to work on a lot of things,” she said. “Dribbling, getting stronger, shooting, post moves, driving to the basket – mainly dribbling, though. I’ll have to work on that, but there’s a lot of time. Hopefully by the end I’ll be alright.”
