Willsboro Central School budget stalled pending vote date File photo
Hochul: No definite date to reopen North Country By Joshua Miner CONTRIBUTING WRITER
PLATTSBURGH | New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul explained the implications of reopening the region last Wednesday during a Town Hall “tele-call” with the North Country Chamber of Commerce, stating that while cases of COVID-19 remain low here, it is still too soon to set a definitive date for local businesses and schools to open. “We are unveiling a strategy,” Hochul said. “We just don’t have the answer on dates yet.” With recent pop-up tests at Plattsburgh’s Market 32 and across the state, Hochul said they will now begin to have an idea just how widespread this virus is throughout New York. At a press briefi ng held last Thursday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo unveiled t he prelimina r y results of these tests. While New York City and surrounding areas showed as many as 21 percent of people having the antibodies, only 3.9 percent of those tested in the rest of the state were positive. Hochul said the tests are crucial for reopening New York, as the antibodies show who may have contracted and then successfully fought off the virus. These individuals can be more resistant to catching and spreading COVID and would be considered safer candidates to return to work. According to researchers, many people have contracted the virus without any symptoms. Through the antibody tests, Hochul said, a clearer picture of COVID’s true impact on the state will emerge. Although numbers for upstate New York are much lower than in New York City, Hochul explains that we may be behind the curve in the North Country. As a result, she explains the reopening of New York state will need to be done on a region by region basis. See HOCHUL » pg. 8
in March, School Superintendent Justin Gardner said they may have to reevaluate decisions on some expenses to adjust for any loss in state revenue.
give Willsboro wiggle room. “We are considering an option to not replace a teacher that is retiring. That could accommodate for some loss in state aid,” Gardner said.

WILLSBORO |Area schools are sitting on stalled budget plans, waiting for a date-certain to hold school budget and School Board votes. They have been told by State Education that the vote will be set sometime after June 1. And further, state aid allocations that drive each budget will be reviewed over “Look Back” phases to keep pace with ongoing loss of revenue and if federal aid might plug the gap. Schools are moving past the first Look Back period, April 1 to April 30, with no concrete information. The second “Look Back” is May 1 to June 30, ostensibly when districts would adopt a 2020-21 budget. The third “Look Back,” from July 1 to Dec. 31, could involve making cuts in an approved budget year 2020-21. Schools that rely on a high percentage of state aid would be hardest hit.

But less reliance on state aid could mean Willsboro Central doesn’t face the shortfall other districts might see. “We are planning for the worst, although we don’t know how bad that ‘worst’ could be. We’re not sure when the budget and School Board vote will be or how the vote would occur, in person or by absentee votes. With so many unknowns, it is difficult to finalize plans.” There are two open seats on the Willsboro Central School Board and incumbent Herb Longware is seeking reelection. “We have not collected School Board election petitions yet, because those have been put on hold,” Gardner said. “We are still committed to getting information needed by taxpayers to participate and be informed.” The extension of school closure through May 15 was expected, the superintendent said. “The extension confi rmed our

Our teachers are providing remote instruction via electronic and/ or paper-based format to all students. Cafeteria, maintenance and transportation staff are all working hard to support the preparation and delivery of food and instructional materials to students. The commitment to our students and our school community displayed by all during this challenging time has been beyond impressive.” The district has set up a free WiFi network that is available for public use from the school parking lots. ■

The owners of Lomeli’s Mexican Food bring hot meals to those serving on the front lines of the worldwide pandemic locally. After having served several units at the University of Vermont Health Network’s Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, restaurant owners Suzette Lomeli and her husband Armando Martinez recently brought meals to two local fire departments, including the Plattsburgh City Fire Department. After having opened the small Mexican restaurant in 2015, owners decided to stay open amid the current challenges and have gotten creative with their service and specials, including giving patrons delivery and online ordering options. They thanked the community for their continued support in keeping their doors open and helping to feed the frontlines. Photo provided

AuSable school budget awaits state aid figures District has made, packaged, bused over 14,000 meals to students By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

The tax levy cap provided to the school was set at 2.88 percent, Superintendent Paul Savage said. The original budget, now on hold, did meet the cap, he said, but not without reductions in some programs and services. The administration and School Board were not looking to add any staff or
programs for 2020-21. “We cannot and have not been able to add any staff or programs under the past number of state budgets,” Savage told the Sun via email. Asked if the district was looking for wiggle room, such as cuts that could be made if the budget is hit with sudden state aid shortfall, Savage said yes. “This is always a major part of our budget review process, especially as we live in the tax cap environment where revenues are

AMAZING EFFORT: FOOD AND DISTANCE LEARNING At AVCSD, distance-learning programs started up with packet deliveries to all students mid-March. And for over a month, it has been going well, Savage said. “It has been an amazing effort by the AVCSD administration, faculty, staff, students and families. Everyone has been wonderful in making this process run as smooth as possible and we can’t thank them all enough for pulling together in such a short amount of time.
“It is Patriot Pride at its best and we will continue for as long as it takes.” At AuSable Valley, to date, cafeteria staff and bus drivers have delivered over 14,000 meals to students. “We are so very proud of our cafeteria staff and bus drivers,” Savage said of a bright spot as everyone pulls together. “This is an incredible feat and has gone off without a hitch. As I said before, schools truly are the backbone of the community and we are committed to doing all we can for our students and communities so that we can bring some sense of normalcy to the crisis. “We miss the students and want them

to know we are always here for them.” The community is also pulling together for the graduating class, as no one knows yet if or when schools could reopen. In AuSable Forks, Mrs. Kristi Hackett volunteered to put up the names of all the AVCSD seniors on storefronts that she owns, Savage said via social media. “Everyone’s name will be put up to celebrate our senior class.

Meet Phoenix, your new best friend By Bryeanna Villani COLUMNIST
Phoenix is our very handsome 6-year-old caramel and white pit bull. He is such a sweet boy and just adores people. He’s happiest when around people, and loves to play, be pet, and snuggle. He is quite the lover! However, Phoenix’s love doesn’t extend far past the human race. Phoenix must find a new home without cats or male dogs. We are hoping that once he’s out of the somewhat chaotic shelter environment that under the right circumstances, Phoenix could have a positive meet and greet with a submissive female dog and may eventually be able to share a home.
Phoenix really enjoys being outside on walks or in the play yard. He doesn’t play fetch, but he does love to chase after the ball. He is not a water dog and prefers to keep his ‘feathers’ dry. Phoenix has environmental allergies and will need his daily allergy pill to keep feeling his best. Some of our volunteers have taken Phoenix hiking and said he does well, often turning around to check in with you from the other end of the leash. When meeting other dogs out on the trail, Phoenix is very interested and will try to get near them, but when given a wide berth he does okay and will get back to focusing on the hike. Phoenix is an observant dog, who is smart, food oriented, and eager to please, all which are good signs for training. To find out more about this handsome boy, please visit “Adopt a Pet” on our website or call the shelter at (518)873-5000. We are closed to the public until further notice. Please call the shelter regarding adoptions, surrenders or any other questions that you may have. Please direct any questions to Pam Rock, Shelter Manager. ■ — Bryeanna Villani is the marketing and communications coordinator at the NCSPCA.

Local summer camps closing due to COVID; one set to open By Keith Lobdell WESTPORT | The oldest boys camp in the country will not be welcoming young men to the shores of Lake Champlain this summer. Camp Dudley, which also runs Camp Kiniya in Vermont, announced last week that they would not be operating their camps and other programs this summer. “At the end of the day, the health and well-being of those in our care is the most important thing,” said Dudley director Matt Storey. “If we cannot provide a safe and healthy environment for our campers, leaders
and decisions needed to be made with each of them in mind. “If one camper brings the virus with him, it would quickly impact the entire community, both here on campus and potentially our surrounding communities,” said Storey. “Camp is the opposite of social distancing, so we just could not see a way where running a program this summer in a responsible way was doable.” Storey said the camp wanted to give the Westport and local community plenty of time to adjust to the news of not having a program which would have brought around 900 campers
“We know the musical growth one experiences at Meadowmount comes from attending and interacting in person with our talented faculty, staff, and students,” she said. “We do not wish to offer an inferior version of Meadowmount through virtual technology, so all payments will be refunded.” The prestigious Meadowmount School of Music, also located in Westport, has also announced the cancellation of their summer programs, while the Pok-O-MacCready camps in Willsboro are planning on a modified opening and six week season.

Bordering the towns of Lewis and Westport, one of the most renowned music schools will close its doors for the 2020 camp season, as well. “For the first time in 76 years, the Meadowmount School of Music will not open for the summer,” said camp administrative director Mary McGowan in a statement. “The thought of this brings tears to our eyes. We all know this is the right choice concerning the uncertainty of the COVID-19 and I thank each of you for your patience during this time while you waited for our decision.” McGowan said the experiences of the camp could not be equaled by a distance learning alternative.
POK-O-MACCREADY TO MODIFY OPEN
In Willsboro, a letter sent to families planning on attending the Pok-O-MacCready camps and posted on their website said the plan was to move forward with a modified version of camp. “The COVID-19 virus has made us look at our camp season a little different than before,” said the statement, signed by camp owner Jack Swan and camp director Kat Moser. “We are moving forward with planning camp, but focusing on activities that keep campers at camp. “We are moving to a six week summer rather than seven,” the release continued. “The four week session remains the same, followed by a two week session that will run July 28 — Aug. 8. With these changes we foresee a very successful summer for all.” The statement added, “the number one priority is the safety and well being of our campers and staff.” Calls and emails to confirm the plans for Pok-O-MacCready were not returned. ■

HOSPITALS LOSE MILLIONS Health care crisis extends to balance sheets By Tim Rowland
The Lake Champlain Transportation Company is reopening ferry service between Essex and Charlotte on May 1.
STAFF WRITER
File photo
PLATTSBURGH | A dearth of traditional patients is creating strong headwinds for North Country hospitals, where even with the help of the federal stimulus, losses are climbing into the millions of dollars, health-care executives said during a North Country Chamber of Commerce town hall teleconference last week. A further complication is that people who are in need of urgent medical care may be shying away from the help they need because hospitals, operating under state guidance, have discouraged people from coming in for routine health issues. John Remillard, CEO of Elizabethtown Community Hospital, said it’s a tricky message to convey. “We’ve told people to stay away unless it’s urgent, yet the other part of the message is that we are here to serve you,” he said. “If anyone needs care, call us and we will guide you.” Hospitals have had other challenges as well, from obtaining adequate testing kits to forging supply chains to dealing with the North Country’s notoriously spotty broadband. The state has required a 50% increase in bed capacity, but many of those beds remain empty as hospitals wait for a surge in patients
Essex-Charlotte ferry to reopen May 1 By Keith Lobdell ESSEX | The southern crossing for the Lake Champlain Transportation Company (LCTC) will be reopening for service at the beginning of May. LCTC announced the Essex to Charlotte ferry boat crossing will resume operations Friday, May 1, while the Cumberland Head to Grand Isle crossing will remain running on a modified, two boat schedule. “I am super pleased for our citizens who we fought for in the first place to have the route reopened so they do not have to take that long ride to the bridge in order to get to Vermont,” said Essex supervisor Ken Hughes. “I am appreciative to LCTC for sticking to their word and reopening as soon as they possibly could.” The southern route closed March 20, while the northern route was limited to two vessels March 23, instead of a usual three vessels. The closure of the southern route led to concern from Hughes and others over getting to Vermont for doctors appointments and other needed services during the COVID-19 pandemic. A petition, started by Hughes to reopen the ferry, received well over the 500 requested signatures it had asked for as a goal. At the time, LCTC officials said the closure was only temporary and the crossing would be reopened at a future time. Nobody wants this, we don’t want this and we will be doing our best to get back there,” said LCTC operations manager Heather Stewart at the time of the closure. “When we can get back there, we will get back there as soon as we can.” ■
that may or may not come. With hospitals emptied out, deficits at Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital have exceeded $27 million, with Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone running another $11 million behind, according to Michelle LeBeau, president of the health centers. Stimulus funds for both institutions have only made up about $8 million of those losses, she said. Adirondack Health President and CEO Sylvia Getman, who oversees the hospital at Saranac Lake and other medical centers primarily in the Tri-Lakes region, said stimulus funding has so far has amounted to $1.9 million, which covered two-thirds of the losses in March, with April losses expected to quadruple. Remillard said Elizabethtown has received $815,000, but that fails to cover lost revenue which amounts to half of the hospital’s monthly average of $3.5 million. More stimulus funding for hospitals was making its way through Congress last week. Meanwhile, more than 300 health-care jobs have been affected across the hospitals including lost work and job reassignments. Getman said hospitals first began to hear flickers of concern about the coronavirus in January, and initial preparations were made, “not because we thought it would get anywhere close to Saranac Lake, but because we always use these opportunities to test and drill and practice.” As the virus spread through New York, the North Country has remained

comparatively isolated from the heavy infection rates and death tolls of the cities. Still, there is a sense of flying blind because testing remains limited. “It’s an area of great frustration,” Getman said. “The data is so limited and the numbers so small that it’s hard to predict (the future). We’re still a long way from understanding what the community has and what it needs.” LeBeau said private companies have been asking about antibody testing so they can know who is safely available to go back to work. But to date, such testing isn’t commercially available. Testing is believed to be the key to re-opening the economy, and employers understand that, Remillard said. So they are interested in more testing, and “we’re trying to figure out ways to expand,” he said. Despite the stress and financial hardship, executives said their staffs have been cheered by the support of the community. “It’s been so heartwarming and so overwhelming,” said Getman. “It helps keep up the spirits of the staff, which is feeling so stretched and worried.” The other thing people can do in support of medical professionals, Getman said, is to stay home. “Staying inside just a little bit longer is the best thing the community can do for us,” she said. LeBeau agreed that it’s important for the community to stay disciplined, even as it gets harder to stay in. If you’re bored now, “imagine how bored you would be lying in a hospital bed,” she said. ■

Thoughts from behind the pressline
Uncertain times and a challenging future
Published by Denton Publications, Inc.
Opinion
suncommunitynews.com/opinions
By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER
It’s hard to reconcile with the fact that we are now in May, and nearly half of 2020 is behind us. So many plans for 2020 have been dashed as a result of the pandemic we never saw coming, or at least never to this degree. From school sports and graduations to summer vacations and wedding parties, everything is canceled, postponed or left up in the air until some point in the future when all this is in the rearview mirror and left as a footnote in history. The problem we face is so much than just a short waiting period until we are told it’s safe to resume life. We are told COVID-19 is a mutation of the common cold. The cold we’ve never found a solution to curing, so we’ve learned, too, just accept it. Can we live with COVID-19 and future mutations of the virus, without making lifechanging compromises to how we conduct our aff airs in the future? We may need to face the fact that life as we once knew may become altered as a result of this threat, and the once carefree approach we took with socializing may never be quite the same. Will social hugs and handshakes be replaced with simple hand gestures? Think Mr. Spock of “Star Trek” with his split-fingered “live long and prosper” greeting. Will these gosh-awful facemasks we now wear in public become standard outdoor apparel? Will sporting events be played in front of stadium shaking, screaming fans? Will grandparents and great grandparents ever be safe in the presence of the children we so love? Will trips out into public, be performed in full hazmats suits? The answer to all the above is a resounding “no”, at least not in the near term. But what does the long term effect look like for future generations, and are we leaving anything in the federal treasury to combat similar events in the future? These are the questions we will be forced to think about as time goes on. There is no doubt we are keeping the economy floating on credit, which we can’t continue to do, nor can we shut down a national economy as we’ve done for weeks on end. These types of challenges will not be unique in the days and years ahead as viruses grow more virulent, we must be prepared to combat in a smarter fashion than we did this time around. ■

Support local farmers
To the Editor: I would like to speak up for the local farmers and food processors. As you know many local restaurants are closed or very scaled back. This has caused a hardship to our small farmers that supplied those restaurants with top quality grass-fed meats, vegetables, fruits, free range eggs, artisan cheeses, potatoes, honey and maple syrup, beer and wine, plants for your garden, etc. You can help these local farmers, and yourself by exploring AdirondackHarvest.com for a listing and map of these local farmers with contact info so you can arrange pick-up, delivery or shipping. — Jane Desotelle, President, Adirondack Harvest, Inc. ■
From HOCHUL » pg. 1
“We have passed the high point downstate,” she said. “The North Country seems to have plateaued - at a relatively low number.” Hochul said that although positive cases remain low here, there are many people who have not been tested. Stressing the importance of increased testing moving forward, she conceded it would not be possible to perform a test on every New Yorker prior to reopening the economy. For the North Country in particular, she pointed to the pain felt by local businesses as a result of the Canadian border closing. “It’s been a horrible separation.” Now shut down for an additional 30 days, she acknowledged the importance of resuming the Canadian/American partnership once the border opens. In the meantime, she said following social distancing guidelines will be integral in keeping the virus at bay and reopening our economy in

a timely manner. “It’s all in the hands of our businesses and our residents,” she said. New Yorkers across the state are feeling the pressure of life with COVID, and while the state has ramped up processing for unemployment, many are still frustrated as they await their first check. With unemployment claims hovering around 50,000 a week prior to the outbreak, Hochul said over 10 million claims recently went through their system in a single week. As a result, they have increased staff for processing calls from 300 to 3,100. Recognizing how stressful this can be for families and individuals throughout the state, she said people should use the services they have put in place to help. In times like these, Hochul said, there is no stigma or shame in reaching out. To help with this rising anxiety among residents, the state has established a hotline for those who find themselves struggling. With 8,000 mental health professionals ready to

Residents can call the hotline toll-free at 844-863-9314. “You would have to be superhuman not to be effected emotionally.” As temperatures begin to climb, Hochul noted that North Country residents should set their sights outside to help keep cabin fever at bay, albeit with the appropriate social distancing in mind. “Outdoor activities just make sense,” she said. As testing increases, she hopes incremental openings of certain businesses will not be far off adding that “it’s really an evolving process.” We will all have moments of stress during this time, Hochul said, but this is also an opportunity for us to come together as a country. “This is something that we are going to talk about for the rest of our lives,” she said. “We will get over this.

City reconsiders commemorative traditions EVOLVING EVENTS, COORDINATION MOVING FORWARD
Non-profit explores new ideas moving forward By Alina Walentowicz STAFF WRITER
PLATTSBURGH | The City of Plattsburgh’s annual 4th of July event and Battle of Plattsburgh (BOP) Commemoration are not expected to occur in 2020, based on recent budget adjustments approved by the common council in response to COVID-19. The events have traditionally included parades, live music, performances, food trucks, fireworks and groups coming from throughout the county and beyond to gather in the city’s downtown streets and spaces for celebrations. “This adjustment will decrease the General Fund budgeted appropriations by $118,000.00 in 2020,” states the resolution. Before approving the budget changes, the council agreed plans could change again as the virus and conversations surrounding it continue to evolve.
Ward 2 Councilor Mike Kelly said at a recent common council meeting, “The people who sponsor the Battle of Plattsburgh and manage those festivities, they have declined to do that this year.” The “community-based Battle of Plattsburgh committee” referred to in the related resolution is “1814 Commemoration, Inc”. The recently-formed non-profit assumed responsibility for the event for the first time this year due to fundraising restrictions placed on the city. Kelly concluded, “What they would especially like to do is come back strong in 2021, and make an even greater BOP.”
COMMEMORATING 2020
“‘1814 Commemoration Inc.’ is still working on having some sort of continuing recognition this year, perhaps in a more non-traditional form,” said the group’s chairperson, Tom Donahue, in reference to BOP, annually taking place each September on and around Lake Champlain throughout the greater Plattsburgh area. Donahue had previously told Sun

Community News the group wanted to expand historic focus beyond Plattsburgh in the War of 1812. He added that there were possibilities for commemoration-related social media presentations in the works. As more information becomes available
about the pandemic—and as plans move forward for an eventual slow, regional economic re-start with accommodations made for distancing—City of Plattsburgh Mayor Colin Read said some form of a “post-COVID-19 celebration” could potentially be on the horizon later in the year, though there was no mention of what funding might be necessary. ■
Lengthy virtual proceedings, DRI update Another “special” ZBA meeting May 4 By Alina Walentowicz STAFF WRITER
PLATTSBURGH | An application from Stewart’s Shops was the first to pass through new temporary Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) virtual processes. A Vilas Home application was also approved, withstanding some public criticism. After more than five hours of temporary proceedings exceeding the midnight hour, the ZBA again tabled anticipated voting on the prime project application of the city’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI).
CONTROVERSY: CITY PROCESSES, BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
Like the city’s common council and planning board, the ZBA deemed its virtual meetings and subsequent business “essential” during the ongoing pandemic. Since the ZBA and planning board drafted and updated new shared temporary processes on April 10, the city finance committee has declared around a $3-million budget deficit due to COVID19, claiming dire enough straits to suggest cuts eliminating a portion of 62 unique city positions across a potential
12 departments, with an initial focus on recreation and library departments. So far the city has laid off 7 employees and furloughed 24. There were some manager positions being negotiated as well for job-sharing. Councilors said the alternative would be about a 30% tax increase. The city is also determined to retain its $600,000 “rainy day fund”—what was a surplus—but is prepared to potentially use some of those funds to offset the resulting budget situation at the end of 2020.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Many employees heard of the city’s staffing plans for the first time during a council meeting live-streamed on YouTube April 16; Mayor Read has since said that related budget discussions have been ongoing among departments for more than the past month. Among some residents and employees, this has brought transparency into question, as well as the significance of public input. Based on lengthy discussion among board members during the recent late-evening ZBA meeting, much of the unread written public comments submitted were generally considered “repetitive”—against, rather than for the Durkee project specifically. At one point, board chair Ron Nolland noted between 14 and 16 Zoom attendees utilizing the “raise-hand” feature
monitored by city staff. Some members of the Plattsburgh Citizens Coalition (PCC) offered comment. PCC President Scott Allen complained that the board should hear public input directly prior to a vote. He requested to read comments into the record before the next vote; it was unclear if this would come to pass. Another caller, claiming to have formerly sat on the ZBA, dismissed temporary proceedings as “a charade”.

MOVING FORWARD
The ZBA sent out a press release about the controversial project the next day on April 22, stating “Appeal No. 2232: City of Plattsburgh–Durkee Street. Application for a Special Use Permit to amend the boundaries of an existing Planned Unit Development and a Special Use Permit for the use of apartments on the first floor of a multi-story building within a Planned Unit Development. The Public Hearing for this appeal is otherwise closed.” Written comments were accepted until April 28 via submission to cityinfo@plattsburghcitygov.com. Voting is now on the agenda for the next official, regular virtual meeting, May 18. Before then, the board will hold its second “special” meeting at 6:30 p.m., on Monday, May 4, which will discuss applications relating to the parking lot portion of the $10-million state-awarded grant. ■

ELIZABETHTOWN | Seven recently abandoned cats are now recovering at the North Country SPCA. The young cats were discovered without food or water at a Port Henry residence earlier this month and authorities have now lodged an animal-cruelty case against their former owner. Essex County Sheriff’s Department said the cats were found after authorities learned a local sex-offender had allegedly
moved from his registered residence and left the animals behind. Brandon McCoy, 25, is now facing seven misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and a felony charge for allegedly violating the terms of his sex-offender registry by failing to notify authorities about his change of address. McCoy was released from custody following his arraignment and will reappear in court at a later date to face the allegations. The cats, which range in age from nine months to roughly two years, are now receiving veterinary care at the Elizabethtown shelter. “They’re gaining weight and doing much better now,” North Country SPCA Shelter Manager Pam Rock said after McCoy’s arrest. “They’re all so sweet, and they’re settling in nicely.”

Making a difference one mask at a time Peru community unites behind Brenda Brelia in making 1,400-plus facemasks-free of charge By Andrea VanValkenburg STAFF WRITER
PERU | Most mornings, Brenda Brelia pours a cup of coffee and gets straight to work. “And sometimes I’m still here at eight or nine o’clock at night,” the Peru mom said recently as she cut elastic for another batch of fabric masks for the region. So far, Brelia has made more than 1,400 masks for local first responders, school-lunch prov iders, animal-shelter personnel, FedEx
drivers, mental-health advocates, 911 dispatchers, local businesses, the elderly and more. Brelia’s cause first started when she wanted to help her local fi re department as the current social crisis crept into the region. “Quilting for 30 years, I had no problem with fabric at first, but I only had enough elastic for 45 masks,” said Brelia, secretary of the Peru Fire Department. “I figured I’d make 45 masks and see what happens.” As those fi rst masks started to circulate and word of her efforts spread, Brelia was soon contacted by fellow crafters and community members looking to help. “People started dropping off elastic and have just kept donating ever since. I couldn’t believe it. Someone, I still have no idea who, even left a gallon-size Ziploc bag full of elastic on my doorstep.” From Peru Town Supervisor Brandy McDonald helping to personally
Support available for Tupper Lake community
Clinton County Emergency Services 911 dispatchers Chelsey Loveless, Joe Cayea and Priscilla Alban sport some of the masks recently donated by Peru volunteer Brenda Brelia. Area residents and businesses have united behind Brelia’s efforts to provide more than 1,400 masks to local first responders, school staff, elderly and essential workers free of charge.

Clohessy’s ‘Welcome Home, Johnny’ prosponed By Douglas J. Gladstone
Fittingly, the play, which has been postponed until 2021, is a tribute to his older brother, who served in the Vietnam War. Set in 1969, the play follows the Moran family as they await the return of their eldest son from the front lines. Directed by Jarel Davidow, the show is billed as an intimate look at a family during an age of uncertainty and change. An autobiographical work that features a major conflict between John and his father, Robert explains that Welcome Home, Johnny

GLENS FALLS | As a heavyweight boxer, Glens Falls’ John Clohessy had a reported record of 14 wins and eight losses, with no draws. His kid brother, Robert Clohessy, who stars as Lieutenant Sid Gormley on CBS’ hit show, Blue Bloods, says one of those losses was a moral victory. “He had a split decision with Chuck Wepner,” the 62-year-old actor says of his older sibling. Wepner, of course, was the heavyweight contender who famously fell a few seconds shy of taking Muhammad Ali the full 15 rounds of their 1975 title match. It isn’t surprising that the younger Clohessy would rush to the defense of his brother. “The fighting, the sports, John was always a big deal in the Bronx neighborhood where we grew up,” says Robert, who’s no slouch himself; he won the 2014 Best Actor Award from the Independent Film Association for the movie, The Man From the City and the Screen Actors Guild Cast Ensemble Award for Boardwalk Empire. Besides playing Lieutenant Gormley on Blue Bloods, Robert has also appeared as an actor on NBC’s Hill Street Blues and HBO’s Oz. Were it not for the ongoing health pandemic caused by the coronavirus, he would have added another credit to his resume: the world premiere of his fi rst play, Welcome Home, Johnny, was scheduled to debut on April 9 at the Charles R. Wood Theatre in Glens Falls.

is also a coming of age story. “There were eight brothers and sisters in our family,” he says. “And I was the lost child.” “I’ve been working on the story for 25 years,” continues Robert, who reveals that, in real life, when John fi nally did return home from the conflict, his 12-year-old self “was sleeping on the couch waiting for him. “I was so happy to see him in the morning that I couldn’t actually get up to hug him,” continued Clohessy. “I was so excited I had to pretend to keep sleeping.” ■

away by the overwhelming support. “They said they’d help me any way they can,” said Brelia, who was even surprised by postal employees offering to cover shipping expenses. “Every person you run into just wants to help. It’s a team effort, let me tell you, and we’re doing it together.” Any donations Brelia has received have been put back into supplies as she donates the masks free-of-charge. “I put it right back into fabric. It’s not about the money, it’s about helping people right now,” she said as she looked over a threepage-long list of requests for individually crafted masks. With supplies still rolling in, Brelia said she’ll keep sewing until the local need subsides. “Here we are still doing it and we’re going to keep doing it,” she said. “It’s been an awesome journey. We’re all coming together to help each other, and that’s what matters. It’s truly amazing.” ■

MORRISONVILLE | While organizers are closely monitoring the current social crisis, the Clinton County Fair is still slated for late July. Concerns about its possible cancellation circulated recently after a Kentucky county canceled their celebration and social media posts shared locally led to confusion about the 72nd annual hometown affair. Fair officials said planning is still underway for the local agricultural fair, which is set for July 28 through August 2. The 2020 fair will bring nearly a week of cherished old-time highlights and new additions, including a concert by Jo Dee Messina, street legal truck pulls, racing pigs, new rides and the highly anticipated Death Wall. More information about the 2020 Clinton County Agricultural Fair can be found at www.clintoncountyfair.com. ■
Strides for James event to return in 2021 CHAZY | The 8th-annual Strides for James benefit run has been canceled for 2020, but will return next year. The 5K, 10K and fun run raises funds for the James Dean Wilson Memorial Scholarship at Clinton Community College in honor of James Wilson, an avid local runner who was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2012. While scholarships will still be awarded to several area students this year, organizers have postponed the annual spring fundraising run in light of the current social crisis. The run will return to Miner Institute May 8, 2021. ■
United Way collecting cloth masks PLATTSBURGH | The United Way of the Adirondack Region is now accepting cloth masks to help protect essential workers across the region. At the request of area county-management officials, the United Way recently reached out to the community asking for support with cloth and handmade masks. Those interested in donating to the cause can coordinate drop-offs by calling (518) 563-0028. ■
Free Wi-Fi access for Northern Tier students ALTONA | The Altona Fire Department recently joined forces with Champlain Telephone Company to help bring free Wi-Fi access to students in the Northern Tier. The local fire department recently approached Champlain Telephone hoping to provide area students with access to the Internet for school and agreed to upgrade their service to fiber optics to make the endeavour possible. After getting the new equipment installed, Champlain Telephone is now providing the needed wireless equipment free of charge for at least 60 days or
until the COVID-19 crisis has subsided. Students that need wireless access can now use the WiFi from vehicles in the fire department’s parking lot. While the parking lot remains open for WiFi access, residents are asked to avoid parking in front of the garage bays. The new WiFi location in Altona is one of four sites Champlain Telephone is establishing in the Northern area. Locations in Champlain, Rouses Point and Mooers will open soon. ■
Chamber welcomes new Coronavirus relief bill PLATTSBURGH | The North Country Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed the latest Coronavirus Relief Bill, saying the move will bring a muchneeded boost to the region. “Hundreds of struggling North Country businesses have been unable to obtain CARES Act loan or grant support because the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) had run out of money due to the overwhelming demand nationally,” said Chamber President, Garry Douglas, who applauded local representatives for their continued advocacy for the region. “This program is especially crucial to many small businesses retaining their employees even if in shutdown mode and surviving the next few months until hopefully business can be resuming. With this agreement, a fresh infusion of $310 billion is being provided to reopen PPP, and another $60 billion will allow continuation of the SBA Emergency Economic Assistance Injury Disaster Loan Program.” Douglas advised area businesses with PPP applications on hold and others interested to contact their banks or lending institutions to move forward. Related presentations and webinars on the CARES Act can be found at northcountrychamber.com. ■
Plattsburgh Half Marathon goes virtual PLATTSBURGH | The 11th-annual Plattsburgh Half Marathon is going virtual. Runners can still sign up and register for the popular local race with options for the 5K, 10K or half-marathon distance. Once registered, runners will receive an email with a link and instructions on how they can submit a photo documenting their distance and time on May 3. Participants will still receive a race bib in the confirmation email and can share it on social media on race day, organizers said. Without the usual winding race course through the City of Plattsburgh, runners can now choose their own start time and course with roadways, tracks and treadmills all deemed acceptable. Organizers say there is no time limit, and participants can run, jog or walk. Runners who submit their time and distance results with photo documentation will qualify to receive a medal and t-shirt in the mail. While the majority of proceeds will
still go to Team Fox/The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research, a portion of this year’s proceeds will also go toward local COVID-19 relief efforts. More information about the virtual May 3 race can be found at www.plattsburghhalfmarathon.com. ■
Fourth of July celebration canceled in Jay JAY | Due to the uncertain times, the Jay Volunteer Fire Department has decided to forgo this year’s Fourth of July celebration. The decision comes amid concerns for the most vulnerable local populations and fire officials said that while social-distancing mandates may be loosened by then, there would still likely be health and safety concerns with hosting such a large gathering. But, officials said, they may opt to host a smaller-scale community celebration later in the season and will keep the community posted in the coming months. ■

ESSEX COUNT Y | The Adirondack Community Action Programs is helping connect local qualifying essential workers to new child-care assistance funds. The agency’s Child Care Resource and Referral Department applauded the Cuomo administration for its recent plan to help essential workers pay for child care. The funding was allocated through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which provided New York with $163.6 million in emergency relief to the child care system. A portion of the funding will now help provide free child care for incomeeligible essential workers. Those who qualify will receive a scholarship for their regulated child-care provider as long as the funds are available. All licensed and regulated providers who are caring for eligible children can participate.

General Composites develops PPE manufacturing line Grassroots effort: funds for gear for hospitals, firefighters, EMTs By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER
WILLSBORO |Local manufacturing expertise is helping fill the need for Personal Protective Equipment in central Essex County. New face shields made at General Composites have been delivered to area hospitals, ambulance squads and fire departments in an all-out effort to shorten the supply line in a pandemic economy where key safety gear is hard to find. At General Composites, CEO Mimi Lane said they are fabricating face shields, a clear plastic face covering that is held in place by a headband. “It is designed to cover the face of the person wearing it and in this case to protect from splatter and splash. It provides a barrier from droplets sprayed from a patient to a caregiver.” The shields are designed for single use, and last week a volunteer organizing team, lead by Elizabethtown resident Ryan Hathaway, delivered 300 to the University of Vermont Health Network -- Elizabethtown Community Hospital. Hathaway delivered dozens more to local fire companies in Willsboro, AuSable Forks, Jay, Upper Jay, North Hudson, Moriah,
Local hospital workers, area fire departments and local EMTs have received critical face shield supplies, Personal Protective Equipment made by General Composites. The effort got underway a few weeks ago, supported by donations from area residents and local businesses. Photos by Ryan Hathaway
Schroon, Westport, Elizabethtown-Lewis and other local first responders. The idea was sparked by Hathaway in a conversation with General Composites engineer Andy Wekin. “I sent a message to Andy to see if he had access to 3D printers. He said he was in the process of producing the face shields at work,” Hathaway said. “General Composites is donating them at cost, so we’re paying to cover their material costs plus labor.”

and worked on getting it tested.” Lane said the General Composites shield was tested and approved for sale. The company is now working on a campaign to allow them to be donated to the hospitals. “We are working on getting our production volume up, reaching out to Empire State Development.” General Composites produced over a thousand in its first week. “We’ve sent over 300 to ECH so far.” Which does make ECH the first customer. “We’ve set this up to run at cost,” Lane said. General Composites fabricates different types of medical device components often used radiation therapy and external fixation, such as halo equipment.
Will PPE become a permanent fixture in their fabrication process? “That is yet to be seen, but with the higher demand in place, for now, we definitely will continue to produce PPE. We are also looking to develop process to make N95 masks, and are working through regulatory channels now. If we can work it out to be a competitive source we will.” Right now, Lane said, General Composites is doing what they can to save lives and protect healthcare workers and first responders. “In a pandemic situation like this, many large companies are sending items to areas with heavy need. Having a local source around can help manage those ups and downs.” For Hathaway, coordinating need with people and companies able to help supply PPE is an organizational process. “I was just noticing all kinds of people making items, wanting to help in some way and I’m not capable of sewing, so I thought maybe my contribution would be using networking and organizing to streamline the efforts,” he told the Sun. In addition to General Composites’ manufacturing expertise, Hathaway reached out to North Country Quilters via church groups and organized an order for 200 cloth face masks for use at ECH. “They’ve been delivered,” Hathaway said. “The main information I’m getting back from the hospital folks is a move towards making gowns and bonnets. They feel like that is where the biggest need is going to be with what is available in the very competitive market. Isolation gowns are a polyester blend, slightly splash resistant, but they can be laundered.” Fundraising for medical supplies is ongoing with a goal to increase PPE resources for now and for the future. The Local Community Medical Fundraiser created by Hathaway and his team uses the Facebook donation platform: w w w . f a c e b o o k . c o m / donate/2598523847051521/ Checks by mail or credit card donations are also accepted. To find out how to donate, call General Composites at (518) 963-7333 Monday through Thursday between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. No amount of help is too small. ■

Hathaway has raised over $6,000 so far in grass-roots outreach through social media posts and the Facebook fundraising platform. At General Composites, Lane said they have been able to reprogram their fabrication equipment to fill a need in the PPE supply line. “We have CNC (Computer Numerical Control) pattern cutter, which is used primarily with fabric or fiberglass for us, but it’s able to cut other things, including the clear film used to make the shields. We explored what it would take to be able to make these shields,

Home schooling, college style NCCC makes transition to distance learning By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER
TICONDEROGA | Two years ago, well before anyone had heard of COVID19, North Country Community College (NCCC) decided to set up all its courses with an online-learning platform called Blackboard, which allows students to view lectures, turn in assignments and keep track of their grades without having to set foot on campus. Today, that decision is paying unforeseen dividends. “As far as online classes, we were a little better prepared than some other schools because we have all our courses already set up in Blackboard,” said Scott Harwood, assistant dean for information technology. Subsequently, in less than a month, NCCC has been able to move 230 spring semester classes and all college operations online
due to the pandemic. But computer programs have been only one piece of a complex puzzle that was put together in a matter of weeks, and included continuing contact with students, the loan of 40 laptops and distancelearning support for both students and staff, particularly for those who were new to the process. “I couldn’t be prouder of the efforts of our faculty and staff during these last several weeks,” said NCCC President Joe Keegan. “Our greatest strength is and always has been our people, and helping students succeed is at the center of our work. Our community, like so many others, was put to quite a test during this crisis.” The college’s faculty have been “incredible in navigating this new normal,” said Sarah Maroun, interim vice president for academic affairs. “Learning how to deliver instruction online in a two-week timeframe — something we’d normally slowly roll out — was a pretty herculean effort.” In some cases, students and teachers were learning the finer points of online instruction at the same time. To make sure everyone was adapting, the school appointed
an eight-person team of admissions and student services employees to contact more than 700 students by phone, email or text, according to Kyle Johnston, vice president for marketing and enrollment. “The first round of communications was really geared toward finding out if students had the necessities: internet service, adequate data plans with their phones, access to a computer, laptop or a tablet,” he said. Being a community college with many adult learners, not all students had grown up with technology. And being the Adirondacks, not everyone had access to broadband, administrators said. Further, faculty members took to personally calling students and establishing virtual office hours. Online tutoring is available through the college’s Learning Assistance Centers, and the college’s library services are also online. Alexis Poirier, a student from Malone who’s pursuing a degree in Radiologic Technology, was attending classes at the college’s Saranac Lake campus when the pandemic hit. Now she’s taking her classes online from home with an NCCC
Alexis Poirier, a second-year student in North Country Community College’s AAS Radiologic Technology program, is taking classes online from home in Malone, using a laptop loaned to her by the college. Photo provided loaner laptop. “It’s definitely been a challenging transition, but my teachers have been very good about giving us enough time to do our work and making sure we’re not overwhelmed,” she said. Poirier said she still prefers the brick-and-mortar classroom because her discipline calls for a lot of hands-on demonstration. She also misses seeing her friends on campus, but she still talks to them daily. “We’re staying in touch and hopefully we’ll see each other back at school in the fall,” she said. Looking ahead toward the fall

semester, NCCC is hosting virtual admissions sessions for prospective students via Zoom, which takes the place of traditional visits. Each virtual presentation includes an overview of academic programs, campus life, how to apply, financial aid, admission requirements and more. Details are available at www.nccc.edu/visit or by calling call 888-TRY-NCCC. The college has also moved its registration online for both continuing students and new students. Offerings for summer and fall classes are posted at www. ncccc.edu/registration. ■

1
NEW ERA BEGINS IN PERU
The Peru varsity boys soccer team scored a 1-0 overtime win in a thriller over Franklin Academy on the Apple Bowl turf Aug. 30, with the game going late into the Friday evening. That’s right, it went into the evening as the Indians played their first fall sport under the new lights on the Apple Bowl, with Tanner Spear scoring the first home night goal for the Indians.
MAKE WINNING MERGED DEBUT 2 GRIFFINS
While the Griffin name had been around for five seasons, the newly formed Boquet Valley Central School District took to the field for the first time Sept. 5, scoring a 3-2 win over Seton Catholic on the strength of Blake Liberi’s hat trick performance. The newly merged district joined the former Westport and Elizabethtown-Lewis districts, which had been playing under the Griffins banner previously.
3
INDIANS WIN WILD ONE AT LINNEY
Somehow, the Peru varsity football team was able to shake off the Linney Field mojo, scoring a 27-26 win over Moriah Sept. 13 as Ian Joy hauled in the winning touchdown pass from Zach O’Connell before securing the win on the next play from scrimmage with an interception. It was the first win of the season for the Indians, while the Vikings — starting 0-2 — would not lose again until the state title game.

As the earth rotates around the sun, the tilt now gets in our favor. The Northern hemisphere starts its spring and summer approach and the Southern Hemisphere drifts towards fall and winter. With the tilt in our favor, we get warm. The warmth melts away the snow and ice, and rivers run. The last snow of winter left our woods a few days ago. The roadside daffodils are starting to poke out of the ground and the tulips will follow. Soon the colors of spring will bloom. The roadside ditches also show winter’s collection of colors. Blue beer cans, white McDonalds bags and cups with the red straws, tinged yellow and green iced tea bottles and the latest fad, the small lipstick sized energy drink containers. It’s time to walk the road, prospect and do the garbage pickup from that lazy someone, who just couldn’t put it in their car or truck garbage bag. Easter Sunday was my Mother’s birthday. She turned 90. Due to the virus, we didn’t dare travel the 400 miles to see her, give her a birthday hug, kiss and a special spring Easter flower. The virus affects people who don’t have it, as well as those who do. Traveling the thruway and stopping for fuel and the occasional break could expose us to someone with the virus, and Ma is too valuable to take a chance with. We had to settle for a Ma Bell visit. Ma got her birthday message through the phone wires from us and the rest of the family along with a mailed gift package. It’s not like being with her though; just not the same. The Easter day weather was especially nice, so after the call I went fly fishing for the first time this year. The signs of spring were there for all to see again. Black stone flies were coming off the water. Those double winged Sikorski’s were climbing over everything. They were on my neck,
in my face and in the air. It was good! The streamside willow vegetation was just starting to bud out amongst the tangled mass of someone’s left over 50-pound plus test fishing line and beer cans. The monofilament fishing line was heavy and thick enough to hold a sailboat through a Florida hurricane. Stream-craft was not on their mind for sure. Needless to say, I brought the garbage home with me. It’s raining hard now, and the rivers are coming back up. Once they settle a bit and loose some of that milk chocolate color, I am going back for landlocked salmon. I’ll break out that 8wt. spey rod and my 6wt. rod which I am still experimenting with to find the fly line that works best. Last season I had a hard time. The recommended lines by the manufacturer did not work. They were too light and didn’t load the rod. The company said I should not go, to a heavier line. It could break the old classic western rod. The rod is no good with the recommended line, having it sit on a shelf looking pretty is not much use. Screw the rules. Up in line weight I’ll go. Now I just need to get outside and give it a trial run on flowing water before I waste time on a fishable river. Don’t believe everything they tell you and sell you. Even the experts can be wrong at times. I’ll soon find out. Some claim when the river rises, the fishing is best. Others say when the river is green, and so it goes. I say, whenever I can get there is best for me. I do try and improve my odds though by following some of the unwritten rules. Early morning and evenings being the ones I like to follow if I can, but in spring, afternoons can be the best, especially when the apple trees bloom, bees are in the air and Ephemerella’s start their terrestrial cycle of life. Tie on a Hendrickson is the mantra then. Yes, spring is here, and the colors of nature and man show up everywhere. The living outdoor season is upon us. Maybe I’ll be lucky and hook a fish and find something valuable, like new fly line that works on my rod. Chances are it will most likely be another blue beer can. ■

STATE CANCELS SPRING STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
Saranac senior kicker Garrett Adolfo connected on a trio of field goals Sept. 21, including the game winner from 32 yards out with 49 seconds left as the Chiefs scored a 24-21 win over Beekmantown. Saranac’s Hunter Devins had a breakout game, rushing for 148 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Connor Recore added an interception on defense.
The Saranac Lake boys varsity cross country team showed they were contenders for what would become their second straight NYSPHSAA Class C state title with a strong performance in the Section VII Invitational meet at the Plattsburgh State Field House Sept. 21. The meet brought in many of the top teams from the state for a preview of the course which would be hosting the NYSPHSAA championship races in November.

FORD ADDS TO STATE LEADING GOAL PACE
Willsboro midfielder Jenna Ford kept pace as the state leader in goal scoring Sept. 27, finding the back of the net six times against Indian Lake/Long Lake in an 8-1 victory on home turf. After a 2-0 opening half, the Warriors scored six times in the second 40 minutes of play, with Desiree Cassavaugh and Samantha Harrison also scoring.
7 INDIANS HOLD OFF HORNETS In an early season volleyball thriller, Peru was able to score a 25-22 win in the fifth game of their 3-2 match victory over Plattsburgh High Sept. 23, as all state hitter Marie Higgins had 18 kills and 20 digs in the contest for the Indians, with Lauryn Clary adding 39 assists.

Section VII weighs local decision for regular seasons By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | For a second straight season, there will be no state championships in New York. The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) announced Monday there would be no state championships for the spring 2020 sports season due to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sports affected include boys and girls track & field, boys tennis, softball, baseball, boys and girls golf as well as both boys and girls lacrosse. “Unfortunately, with the continued impact of the COVID-19 crisis, hosting the spring 2020 state championships is no longer feasible,” said NYSPHSAA President Paul Harrica. “Canceling the remaining winter state championships in late March was challenging and the cancellation of our spring state championships today is equally disappointing.” “Today’s decision is difficult for the membership of NYSPHSAA,” said NYSPHSAA executive director Dr. Robert Zayas. “We certainly sympathize with the students, coaches and their school communities, especially the graduating seniors.” “My heart goes out to our student athletes and especially our seniors who do not have the ability to compete for that ultimate state championships they have has the chance to compete for since 1979, yet alone not being able to compete at all at the
moment,” said Section VII executive director Matthew Walentuk. NYSPHSAA added they will continue to rely upon information from the New York State Department of Health, local health departments as well as the Governor’s office in determining any regular season action, reiterating what Zayas said last week in a Sun Community News interview, that for student-athletes to return to athletic participation this spring, schools need to be reopened by the governor.
LOCAL IMPACT
On April 21, Section VIII and XI canceled their spring sports seasons, as NYSPHSAA stated they will give individual sections their own authority to decide whether to hold a regular season. Both sections encompass the Long Island region, where the COVID-19 outbreak has been the among the harshest in the state. In Section VII, Walentuk said he conducted a local survey of member schools last week on where they wanted to go with a spring sports season. “I created a form that I sent our to every school and had the athletic directors submit to me after consulting with their superintendents,” said Walentuk. He said the survey asked whether Section VII should cancel the regular season effective immediately, cancel if the New York PAUSE lasted past the Memorial Day vacation, or keep waiting as long as possible to see what happens. “Over half of schools supported canceling if we do not go back on May 26,” said Walentuk. “The rest of the schools were almost split between canceling now or waiting as long as possible.” Walentuk said it would be tough
for a season to take place if the state did not allow schools to reopen until June 1, which would be the earliest they could if Gov. Andrew Cuomo sticks to plans he discussed with the media over the weekend, allowing some regions in the state to do a “Phase One” reopening May 16, with a “Phase Two” reopening — which includes schools — two weeks later. “It’s going to be one of those things where it would be tough but I just do not want to unilaterally do anything that would take away a kids opportunity if the opportunity presents itself right now,” said Walentuk. “I have had people ask for nothing more than If they can just play one game against a neighboring district or even have an inter-squad scrimmage where they could wear their team uniforms in.” He added it will also be a difficult task to implement social distancing guidelines at sporting events as schools work to do the same in the classrooms. “It’s going to be tough for these superintendents to figure out how to reopen schools and follow social districting and everything else, then it will be another issue to bring their to sporting venues,” Walentuk said. “However, NYSPHSAA has told us they will do everything they can to help sections who decide to go ahead with a season, and give us all of the resources they have as far as healthcare professionals and others to make sure everything is done safely. “Right now, I think any viable option is on the table,” Walentuk concluded. “I would not want to discount anything, as remote as it may sound. During this time we are thinking more creatively and outside the box and those are things we should think about.” ■

MORIAH LOSES LONG-TIME CHIEF Grieving harder in time of distancing By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER
PORT HENRY | For more than a half a century, Ralph Jaquish was always there for the Town of Moriah. After his passing earlier this month, many in the community who would have wanted to pay tribute were unable because of restrictions on social gatherings. Nor could his sons and daughter living in Texas, Illinois and Minnesota make the trip. “It is difficult,” said his son Don Jaquish who lives in Moriah and has continued his father’s path of community service. “You can’t get close, you can’t embrace.” When Ralph Jaquish stepped down as Moriah’s fire chief in 2012 at the age of 81, he had served the department for 53 years, a state record. In his honor, 10 departments did what they

could to give the former chief a proper send off, accompanying the hearse with a lengthy line of emergency vehicles.”They really went beyond what I was expecting,” Don Jaquish said. “It was all like one big family. Jerod Heidrick, co-owner of Thwaits Zaumetzer Funeral Home in Au Sable Forks, said the loss of a loved one can be particularly traumatic in a time when large gatherings, and the comfort they can bring, are disallowed. Services can be held by video link, but inperson gatherings are limited to 10 people, with chairs widely spread throughout a large room. But these small services can themselves be problematic. “Not only is the family grieving, but they’re having to pick and choose” who gets to attend, Heidrick said. Funeral home directors also typically meet with family members to get a sense of the deceased to better tell their story and celebrate their life. That’s become a challenge as well because face-to-face meetings are discouraged. Still, most families have been handling it well, settling for limited services or postponing
larger memorial services until the danger from the virus has passed. “Everybody’s been really understanding,” Heidrick said. “We try to communicate with people more frequently and we ask them to lean on us.” Don Jaquish said his family is planning a memorial ceremony at a later time, when family and community can celebrate his dad’s considerable career. Ralph worked at International Paper, but his role in the community, and with his family, revolved around the fire department. “I was spoon fed on the firehouse from the time I was big enough to walk,” Jaquish said. Ralph also served on the Town Board for nine years, where Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said the two of them became good friends and worked on a number of community projects, such as the Bulwagga Bay campground and public water lines. “He spearheaded a lot of these projects, and he had a deep concern for Moriah” Scozzafava said.

“He was very approachable and had a good sense of humor, but when he had to he could be stern.” Jaquish joined the Moriah Fire Department in 1954, at a time when the company had few members, and those had only a little training, and one aging truck. He became chief five years later, after the current chief at the time was electrocuted in an industrial accident in Glens Falls. Through the years, Jaquish added trucks and members, including three generations of his own family. Although lacking a public service for the moment, Jaquish was widely honored on social media. “Heaven certainly has a hell of a fire brigade up there with some very prestigious chiefs, and now Ralph Jaquish is among them,” wrote former Ticonderoga Chief Matt Watts. ■
