Shrinkingbudgets

hurt CVES

PLATTSBURGH — Facingsoaring costs and shrinkingrevenues, school districtsare opting to spend less onservices for their students atChamplain Valley Educa-tional Services.

This has resulted in lay-offs at CVES, as well asshrinking programs.

But CVES officials saytheir program remainsstrong and is as vital now asit was when it was formeddecades ago.

“We provide valuableservices, and I think we willbe important and viable inthe future,” said Craig King,superintendent of CVES. A Tsawa monk from India works on a sand mandala at the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh. See related article

AN ANCIENT TRADITION

By Stephen [email protected]

Participants at the “Our Youth at Risk” talk at Plattsburgh High School, held to raise

awareness about prescription and synthetic drug abuse.


Stopping prescription and synthetic drug use

PLATTSBURGH — More than 2,700teens try prescription drugs daily toget high.

Unintentional overdose deaths in-volving prescription opiods havequadrupled since 1999 and now out-number those from heroin and co-caine.

But at a recent gathering held toraise awareness and address the cul-ture of prescription and synthetic drugabuse, Clinton County Sherriff DaveFavro said it wasn’t a problem.

“Instead of referring to this as aproblem, I view it as a result of otherproblems we need to identify,” saidFavro at the first of a series of townhall meetings throughout the NorthCountry.

Prescription drug abuse is the inten-

tional use of a medication without aprescription, in a way other than pre-scribed, or for getting high.

Forty-eight million people age 12and over used prescription drugs fornon-medical purposes, roughly 20 per-cent of the U.S. population.

Prescription drug abuse is only sur-passed by cannabis among 12thgraders, according to the National In-stitute on Drug Abuse.

It starts at 12-17 and peaks at 18-24.Prescription drug abuse is a dead heatbetween men and women.

The medications most commonlyabused are pain relievers, tranquiliz-ers, stimulants and sedatives.

Oxycontin, Darvon, Vicodin, Di-lauloud, Xanax, valium, Ativan, Lib-rium, and the list goes on.

“Many parents think it is just some-thing you read about,” Richard S.

Activists organizeto oppose the interests of theeconomic eliteBy Stephen [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — Theygathered to form a local com-munity of people committedto non-violent direct actionto forge a more just economy.

They shrugged off shameand shared stories to discov-er what connects them and tobuild solidarity.

They learned about whatbroke the economy, studiedpast responses, created a vi-sion for the future and pre-pared themselves for non-vi-olent direct action.

“We came together be-cause our country is in cri-sis,” said Mona Dubay, atrainer at a local meeting inPlattsburgh of the “99 Per-cent Spring.”

“This isn’t the end of any-thing,” Dubay said. “It is thebeginning.”

The training was part of a

nationwide movement witha goal to train at least 100,000people in non-violent direc-tion action.

“We are the 99 percent” isa phrase that refers to the in-creased concentration ofwealth among the economicelite (“the one percent”) inthis country over the pastseveral decades.

Between 1979 and 2007, in-comes of the one percentgrew 275 percent, while dur-ing that same time the in-come of Americans in the

middle of the income scalerose by 40 percent, accordingto the Congressional BudgetOffice.

Since 1979, the averagepre-tax income for the bot-tom 90 percent of house-holds decreased by $900,while those in the one per-cent saw their income soarby more than $700,000.

Between 1992 and 2007,the top 400 income earnerswatched their income in-crease 392 percent and theiraverage tax rate drop by 37

percent.As the economy expanded

between 2002 and 2007, theone percent’s income grew10 times faster than that ofthe bottom 90 percent.

During the Great Reces-sion, most households grap-pled with a 36 percent dropin median household in-come, while the top 1 percentonly experienced a decreaseof 11 percent.

“We are working on theidea of community today,”said Dubay. “We have beenhearing a lot about the 99percent.”

Those gathered intro-duced themselves and usedwords to describe them-selves, such as hope, peace,dismay, hopelessness, frus-tration and corruption.

They watched a shortvideo on the history of non-violent resistance, which fea-tured events such as RosaParks refusing to give up herseat to make room for a whitepassenger on Dec. 1, 1955, inMontgomery, Alabama.

The video touched on De-lano, California where most-ly Filipino workers walkedoff the farms of table-grapegrowers, demanding wagesequal to minimum wage. Ce-sar Chavez joined the strikeand thus was born the Unit-ed Farm Workers in 1966.The group eventually suc-ceeded in reaching a collec-tive bargaining agreementthat benefited thousands.

The video further touchedon globalized capital and theshipping of jobs overseas,

rising student debt, rampantforeclosures and other top-ics.

It ended with testimonialsfrom individuals describingthemselves as part of the 99percent, page after page oftestimonials from individu-als who worked hard at theirjobs and are now unem-ployed, underemployed,lacking adequate health careand on the verge of ruin.

Those gathered sharedstories of losing jobs and try-ing to care for their familieswith inadequate health care.

They spoke of threats toSocial Security andMedicare, corporate greed,tax inequality, housing is-sues and losing basic civilrights.

“People are being forcedto do things that are illegal orunethical just to survive,”said Jenn Colver.

“We all have challengesthat come out,” Dubay said.

The group included work-ers, the unemployed, dis-abled people, parents,grandparents, veterans, stu-dents, women, men, youngand old.

They seek a future wherethere is fairness, peace, eco-nomic justice, good healthcare for all, where clearthinking is encouraged, taxequity exists, education is aright and consumerism is notthe national religion.

They talked about build-ing a strong middle classwith the help of laws thatcame out of the Great De-pression and then the sys-

tematic attack, starting in theearly 1970s, by corporationson the American free enter-prise system. Throughderegulation and more, theysaid, corporations have in-fluenced policy and reapedthe benefits. They attackunions to destabilize thepower such groups have tofight for workers, they attackdemocracy and they divideAmericans, pitting differentgroups with the same con-cerns against each other toprevent them from uniting.

As a result, today, 47 mil-lion Americans live in pover-ty and 99 percent of thecountry earns less than$250,000.

Yet there is hope, theysaid, because there is oneother type of power besidesmoney, and that is organizedpeople.

“If we could all come to-gether, we have power,”Dubay said. “That is reallywhat we are talking about.”

Rachelle Armstrong be-lieves there is great potentialfor people to stand on com-mon ground and identifywhat unites them so they canwork together for positivechange.

“This movement empha-sizes a common humanity,and we need a new generationof activists to participate in di-rect action,” she said.

“We need to start talkingto our neighbors and sharingour stories, because we areso isolated and don’t under-stand how connected weare.”

Monks from India visit PlattsburghBy Stephen [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — The monkssat cross-legged, bent at the waistas they created the sand mandalaon the ground between them.

Seven Tsawa monks touringthe United States from southernIndia spent more than 30 hourscreating the work of art, only tolater pour it into the Saranac Riv-er during a dissolution ceremonymeant to pass the knowledge tothe creatures in the water.

They spent nearly two weeksin the area before moving on toanother leg of their tour.

“The festival has grown from avery small thing at SUNY Platts-burgh to a community-wide ef-fort,” said Janine Scherline, exec-utive director of the North Coun-try Cultural Center for the Arts.“To have seven monks here froma monastery in India is prettyamazing.”

The Festival of Tibetan Artsand Rituals occurred April 5-28,and was brought to the area by theAdirondack Center for Tibet inpartnership with the NorthCountry Cultural Center for theArts, Plattsburgh State, the MayaCenter for Integrated Medicine &The Cultural Affairs Committeeand Clinton Community College.

The Tsawa monks are fromGaden Jangtse Monastery inSouth India, and are touringAmerica to raise awareness of Ti-betan Buddhism.

Gaden Monastery, one of threemajor Buddhist monastic univer-sities of Tibet, was founded in

1409 and at one point contained7,000 monks.

After 1959, it was rebuilt in ex-ile in south India and today hous-es roughly 1,400 monks.

There are 12 houses (khang-sten) within the monastery thataccommodate monks from differ-ent geographical backgrounds.

Tsawa khangsten is one of thelargest and when Tibet was free itwas home to more than 800monks. After 1959, 10 escaped toIndia, and in 1960 theirmonastery was built to houseabout 100 monks. More than 500are there today.

“They are trying to raise fundsfor a new prayer hall,” Scherlinesaid.

Prior to and during their time inthe region, area students and com-munity members explored themonks’ culture through art, medi-tation, performances and more.

“This gives us a chance to en-gage with cultures that are half aworld away,” said Scherline.“They are refugees that lost theirhomeland.”

The Dalai Lama and many ofhis supporters fled Tibet and tookrefuge in India when Chinesetroops moved in and took controlof Lhasa in 1959. India is home toroughly 100,000 Tibetans whosegovernment-in-exile is not recog-nized by any country.

“They are amazing, lovely andgentle,” Scherline said of themonks.

The monks spent their time inthe area demonstrating ritualCham Dances, a Buddhist ceremo-ny performed at the beginning ofthe year to expel or pacify evil; con-

ducting pulse readings and prayer,the latter of which entailed deep-throated chanting and instru-ments; creating sculptures of col-ored butter in the image of deities,flowers, animals and symbols; andconstructing the sand mandala.

Using ancient techniques, themonks created the sand mandalaat the North Country CulturalCenter for the Arts. Sand man-dalas are depictions of the man-sions of enlightened beings andare made with crushed stones orpainted sand.

The mandala takes wisdom,and as people come and watchand sometimes pray, the colorsteach peace, love and kindness,explained Dr. Geshe DorjiWangchuk, tour leader.

It has four directions, each withits own meaning, and the five col-ors equal the elements.

“You want to achieve enlight-enment,” Wangchuk said. “Firstyou need to balance all elements,and your mind is always fresh.”

It is also about removing suf-fering and achieving liberation.

“We all have Buddhist nature,”Wangchuk said. “You practicelove and kindness and your Bud-dhist nature can come up.”

Plattsburgh State studentKatelyn McMahon found hertime with the monks interestingand eye opening. She had no ideathe area offered such activities.

“You usually don’t see that un-less it is on Discovery or the His-tory Channel,” she said.

Champlain Knights celebrate 60 yearsBy Stephen [email protected]

CHAMPLAIN — The Knights ofColumbus Father Francis X. ChagnonCouncil 3525 is celebrating six decades oflife.

The group recently held its celebrationin the Council Hall, which was formerlythe Lyceum Theater, in Champlain.

Many Knights around the country arestruggling, and some groups, such asthose in Plattsburgh and Mooers, havelost their council homes, but this localcouncil continues to thrive.

“We are unique in that we still haveour Council home,” said Grand KnightChris Trombley. “It is good to have aplace to meet and be proud of.”

Trombley’s grandfather and friendswere involved in the Knights of Colum-bus, and he was proud to join when hewas sponsored in 1988. He’s long ad-mired the organization and its principlesof charity, unity, fraternity and patriot-ism.

For Trombley, charity and unity standout the most. He enjoys belonging to thecommunity and involving himself in agood cause.

He’s proud to follow in the footstepsof people he admired. For Trombley, it isabout being part of something biggerthan himself.

The Knights of Columbus, like theAmerican Legion and the fire depart-ment, represents the backbone of thecommunity.

“What is unique about ours is that weare part of a bigger community,” Tromb-ley said. “We have 277 members fromChamplain, Mooers, Rouses Point,Chazy and Plattsburgh.”

And despite the overhead costs, theFather Francis X. Chagnon Council 3525continues to have a Council Hall to meetat, though that is not a requirement foran active council.

“We are coming off the heels of a ren-ovation project and dedicated thekitchen to John Paul Tetreault, who re-cently died and was instrumental in run-ning the kitchen for years,” Trombleysaid.

The Knights of Columbus is the largestfraternal organization of its kind, and

was founded in 1882 by the Rev. MichaelJ. McGiveny in Connecticut. The organi-zation was meant to provide insurance tothe widows and children of Catholicmen.

Council 3525 was named after the Rev.Francis X. Chagnon, who took over St.Mary’s Parish in 1887.

The Supreme Council chartered Coun-cil 3525 on April 23, 1952, and threemonths later officers executed a lease torent the former Lyceum Theater.

“We just raised more than $3,500 for

the Mooers food pantry, and to me thatwas really inspiring,” Trombley said.

Council 3525 provides scholarships tohigh school students, supports the parishpriests and has donated thousands to St.Mary’s Academy.

At a recent 60th anniversary andkitchen dedication event, an Officer ofthe Year award was given to Francis Mer-caldi. Tetreault was named Knight of theYear. More than 170 members and theirfamilies attended the event, which raisedmore than $500 for charity.

Danny Tetreault, John Paul’s Tetreault’s eldest son, accepts the “Knight of the Year Award” givento his father for years of devoted service and dedication to Council 3525. Danny accepted theaward on behalf of the Tetreault family and encouraged others to follow in his father’s ideals ofcharity, dedication, hard work, determination.

There may be compelling reasonswhy Lake Placid’s school boardcontinues to stand behind embat-

tled Superintendent Randy Richards. Itwould behoove all concerned for the boardto explain those reasons to the public, be-cause, on the face of it, the situation does notadd up.

To his credit, Board President Phil Baum-bach recently provided us with a rationalefor keeping Richards on the payroll. It does-n’t strike us as compelling, but it’s better thansilence.

“First and foremost, Randy Richards is a re-sponsible guy,” Baumbach said. “He’s beenable to provide a good budget for the voters,he’s keeping the academic programs going,and he’s doing this at a very challenging time.We’ve heard what the community has said, butwe feel that Randy is moving the school for-ward ... In any community there will alwaysbe differences.”

Baumbach’s comments are a start, butseem unlikely to satisfy the crowds that at-tend board meetings. Creating a responsiblebudget for the voters and moving a schoolforward is the minimum that a school super-intendent should do.

If you haven’t been following this story,here’s an abridged version: Richards has ad-mitted to using language that is wholly inap-propriate and unacceptable, particularlywhen one considers the setting and contextin which the offensive terms were used. Afterthat, Lake Placid’s high school principal,Katherine Mulderig — one woman at the re-ceiving end of Richards’ derogatory remarks— filed a gender discrimination complaintagainst Richards. As has been widely report-ed, the Equal Opportunity EmploymentCoalition eventually found that the principalhad standing for her claims that Richards en-gaged in gender discrimination, retaliation,and the creation of a hostile work environ-ment. Mulderig’s peculiar recent exit fromthe scene adds another wrinkle to the mess.

People in Lake Placid and Wilmington areoutraged. Taxpayers line up at packed schoolboard meetings (which are now necessarilyheld in a much larger room) to give the pow-ers that be a dose of their ire, voices shakingwith emotion — and receive sustained ap-plause from the crowd.

Retired high school principal RobertSchiller has emerged as a voice of dissent, a

position difficult for many who knowSchiller to fathom. Schiller always seemed agenial consensus builder, but there he was,handing the school board a petition withnearly 600 signatures demanding Richards’ouster.

Schiller — who is a highly respected mem-ber of the community and has rare insightinto school matters — recently presented theboard with a long list of reasons for the dis-trict to shed Richards, most of which are un-related to his offensive comments.

It is readily apparent that large numbers ofparents and teachers join Schiller in broadlydistrusting Richards’ competence and judge-ment.

It may be that Richards is a decent manwho made a mistake, owned up to it, andapologized. However, if Richards wanted tobehave decently, it seems likely that hewould have resigned months ago, sparringeveryone else considerable time and frustra-tion. He has said that he anticipates stayingon the job through next spring.

We believe that the members of LakePlacid’s school board are public-spirited vol-unteers who are acting under the advice ofattorneys and doing their best under tryingcircumstances. The idea that they are privy toinformation that justifies their support forRichards is plausible, but their community ispoorly served by any counsel who advisescontinued silence.

Silence in such situations (and they are un-fortunately a reoccurring phenomenonaround our area) is easily interpreted asstonewalling, as waiting it out until “they”get tired of the matter and move on — or assomething more insidious. Secrecy on suchmatters often serves to increase discord, dis-trust and division.

The firestorm in Lake Placid seems likelyto continue until the board presents the pub-lic with reasonable explanations.

Aren’t taxpayers observing such specta-cles entitled to at least that much?

Ireally hate to be pessimistic. I also want toavoid being politically slanted. We see fartoo much of that in society today. Over the

last few years that I’ve been writing this columnI’ve received many chain emails claiming oneviewpoint or another. I am equally offended bythings I see coming from the left and the right. Inmy opinion it is far better to report on, and talkabout, the facts than it is to relentlessly use thenews in support of a political ideology.

With that said, I must confess that I am be-coming increasingly worried about our futureand about the lack of Americans on both the leftand the right banding together to stand up andwork for change. People I speak with tend to bevery passionate about defending their politicalperspective based on their alignment with theleft or the right. I find very few who are evenlybalanced in the middle of our political landscapeand are willing to see things from a broad, open-minded perspective. Blame it on all the talkingheads, the biases of most media organizationsthese days, the amount of misinformation that issent through the Internet, or the fact that wecling to the information we want to be true andrefuse to listen to anything contrary to that posi-tion.

As a nation, we were founded on the notionthat our basic rights are provided by a supremebeing and that ordinary people are more than ca-pable of governing themselves. The UnitedStates’ government had one primary purpose: toprotect the rights of its private citizens. At thetime we became a nation, the world’s nationswere generally governed by an elite hereditaryclass. Individual rights were granted and con-trolled by those ruling the nation. I fear we areslowly abandoning the premise of our foundingfathers in favor of turning the government overto a ruling class while turning our backs on eachother and the principles our ancestors fought for.

We are under assault by small, but powerfuland wealthy groups that intend to exploit thegovernment’s power for their own personalgain. We see it time and time again from largecorporations, environmentalists, union leaders,entertainers and career politicians who very per-suasively pursue their agendas in the name ofdemocracy, while leaving the rest us to fend forourselves and pay for their gains.

As our nation’s debt now exceeds the coun-try’s Gross National Product and stands at $15.4trillion, soon Congress will be forced to have yetanother vote to raise the debt ceiling, why are

we not demand-ing more account-ability from ourelected officialsand those wholobby the influen-tial few? Insteadwe fall in line andbelieve that ourelected officialshave our best interests at heart.

The figures contained in a new book called“The Rise of the President’s Permanent Cam-paign,” by Brendan J. Doherty, provide statisticalbacking to the notion that President Obama ismore preoccupied with being re-elected thanwith solving the nation’s economic woes. Doher-ty, who has compiled statistics about presidentialtravel and fundraising going back to PresidentJimmy Carter in 1977, found that President Oba-ma had already held 104 re-election fundraisersby March 6. A combined 94 events were held inthe same timeframe by presidents Carter, Rea-gan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W.Bush. Since then, the President has held another20 fundraisers, bringing his total to 124 high-priced, lavish events. Carter held four re-electionfundraisers during the 1980 campaign, Reaganhad zero in 1984, Bush 19 in 1992, Clinton 14 in1996, and Bush 57 in 2004.

The Supreme Court’s ruling this past summerallowing for the creation of super PACs ( Politi-cal Action Committees) with unlimited fundrais-ing capacity makes it clear that we the people arebut simple pawns in the battle between the leftand the right, the powerful and the super-richwho, day by day, are taking control of the coun-try. Our founding fathers created a governmentcontrolled by the people, with citizen legislators.All we need do to is take a honest look around.Ask yourself: Do you feel in charge? Have youseen the government working for your best in-terest, securing the future for your children, in-suring your rights as a citizen, or providing youwith the freedom to secure your own?

I am very worried about the future and what Isee happening on both sides of the aisle. I sin-cerely hope we all see what’s happening and arebrave enough and selfless enough to demand areturn to a government of the people and for thepeople.

Thoughts on Randy Richards


We have become a society of enablersWe have become a soci-

ety of enablers.

E-N-A-B-L-E-R-S. Enablers.The definition of “enable” is: to

provide with the means or oppor-tunity and to make possible, prac-tical or easy.

Let’s talk about bullying.Bullying was once considered a

rite of passage, a sort of “kidswill be kids” thing that was large-ly tolerated.

As society finally woke up tothe damage it caused, bullyingwas pegged as wrong and not tobe tolerated.

We took it a step further andproclaimed that bystanders werejust as wrong, because they al-lowed it to occur while doingnothing, thus enabling the bullyand his or her actions by remain-ing silent.

By and large, society is brim-ming with enablers.

I’ve been an enabler at times,though I strive not to be one.

I do not agree with the mentali-ty of, “Oh, that’s just Joe. That’sthe way he is. We can’t changehim. We just gotta let him be Joeand come to it on his own.”

Really?So if Joe is an alcoholic who

neglects his children, do we tellhis children when they are 18,“Yeah, I could have stepped up,said something, tried to do some-thing, but instead I decided that’sjust your dad and the way he is.And well, now you’re 18 and dys-functional. My bad.”

Too many people shrug theirshoulders and say, “Not my prob-lem. That’s his life. That’s herlife.”

First, you don’t tell peoplewhat they want to hear, you tellthem what they need to hear.

It’s easy to ignore things, mindyour business, or adopt a NewAge-type mentality that the uni-verse will bring people wherethey need to be on their path.

It’s hard to take a stand and

selflessly care. That takes work.Rolling up your sleeves and say-ing, “This is wrong,” takes work.

So instead many do what iseasy and act as enablers.

A human services organizationwatches as red tape preventsthem from adequately tending toclients and does nothing to take arisk and a stance and shine a

spotlight on what is clearlywrong.

A company lays off employeesin an unethical fashion and thosestill there continue to work, ac-cepting what the company did in-stead of standing up and demand-ing answers, or perhaps holding asit in and sticking up for theirwronged colleagues.

Someone uses language such as“that’s retarded” and “that’s gay”and no one within earshot pointsout that the individual just equat-ed a population of people towhatever that individual foundweird, distasteful or frustrating.Or if someone stands up and an-other contends people shouldlighten up, no one steps forwardand points out that it is easy tosay such things when you aren’tthe one being hurt.

We know that hard-workingpeople are deprived of adequatehealth care and ignore it becausewe had no problem covering ourlast doctor ’s visit.

Enabling often stems from per-ceived self preservation: “Whyshould I do anything, especially ifdoing so might negatively impactme?”

There is something to be saidfor serving the greater good, andif you disagree then you shouldrealize that what ails the so-calledgreater good will eventually in-fect the individual. Sooner or lat-er, no matter how successful orsecure your spot in society, if so-ciety as a whole degrades youwill eventually degrade with it.Society also explodes at times, atwhich point it won’t matter howfortunate you seem to be.

But forget self preservation. Mynaivety envisions us breaking freefrom our enabling shells, standingup and saying, “Stop.”

By risking our false sense of se-curity, we not only stop being en-ablers, we regain our freedom.

Dear style & substance:I am going to a

summer wedding formy niece and haven’tworn a dress inyears. When I in-quired about the“dress code”, I wastold “wedding at-tire”….Help!!

Weddings are for-mal occasions inwhich the bride andgroom and theirfamilies have in-vested a lot of time and thought into creating a beautiful andmemorable event. In being invited to this celebration, it isrespectful to dress the part. Contrary to many casualdressers beliefs, formal wear can comfortable and reflectyour personality, while still being appropriate to the occa-sion.

A shirt, tie and dress pants for men is the minimal stan-dard. Adding a jacket gets rave reviews. While a dress is themost traditional choice for women, a pant in a luxurious fab-ric or beautiful color will make everyone feel like you be-long! Add an unusual jacket that is fun, fancy and formal.

Another alternative when planning an outfit is to startwith the piece that makes you most uncomfortable; thelength of a dress, the shoes, etc. Once you have found a piecethat works for you, you can build the outfit from there. SalesAssociates are happy to help, so let them give you some op-

tions. Whatever you decide on, remember to wear it proud-ly, no fidgeting allowed!

Supports PassnoTo the Burgh:Sometimes I think people are elected to school boards without

much thought by the district voters, or sometimes school boardmembers are elected because they are related to someone workingfor the district and sometimes people are elected because no oneelse wants the thankless job. The Beekmantown school district willsoon be electing some new school board members and there is oneperson running who will be doing so for all the right reasons: sheactually cares about the school, which includes students, faculty,administrators and those of us who live in the district. It’s rare tofind someone like this and I believe she would be an outstandingschool board member. Debbie Passno is that person and I encour-age everyone to vote for her. She is more than willing to put thetime in to do the job the way it is intended and I know she has thecourage to make tough decisions based on common sense andknowledge. She will consider all sides and analyze the solutionsand then make her decision based on the reality of the situation. Soplease join me and vote for Debbie Passno for the BeekmantownSchool Board.

Gary & Kathy DeCellePlattsburgh

Vote Passno, Bingel, AndersonTo the North Countryman:As a longtime resident of the Town of Plattsburgh and the Beek-

mantown school district, I feel it's time for more accountability inthe school district.

I am putting my support behind the following candidates.Debbie Passno: She attended Beekmantown school as did all her

children. She feels that we need to have earlier access to informa-tion pertaining to the school district.

April Bingel: has many years of experience in finance. This iswhat we need at a time like this. She also feels we need better com-munication between the school board, the administrative staff andthe taxpayers. She also has two children who attend school therenow.

Eric Anderson: has shown great interest at the school board meet-ings and has asked many questions of the board and administra-tors about how well the school is performing and how accountablethey are for the school’s performance.

Each one of these candidates feels we need to look at and devel-op a long term financial plan that accounts for the needs of the stu-dents, taxpayers and employees.

I am a retired union member from the private sector and I amnot against any employees, but I feel the district needs to be moreaccountable to the taxpayers and give the students the best educa-tion they can with the money we have to work with.

Gary GudzPlattsburgh

Supports AndersonTo the Burgh:Eric Anderson is a father of five young children in the

Beekmantown School System. That alone might qualify himfor a seat on the Beekmantown School Board, but add to thathis intelligence, his understanding of the challenges facingthe school board, his ability to listen to other people's ideas,and the dedication he has already demonstrated to makingBeekmantown a great place to live — and you have an excel-lent School Board candidate. Support Eric Anderson forBeekmantown School Board.

Itapplies to all mail associates, tenant employees, vendors, de-livery people, contractors, subcontractors and guests.

There will be opportunities presented to all employees toquit smoking through cessation classes provided by theNorth Country Tobacco Cessation Center.

There will be signs posted throughout the entire propertyprohibiting smoking. These signs will be put up and placedaround the mall with the help of the local Adirondack To-bacco Free Network.

Let the mall know you support their 100 percent tobacco-free policy and thank them for being a role model for otherbusinesses in our community. Go to pyramidmg.com formore information.

Passno for school boardTo the Burgh:I write this letter in support of Debbie Passno, a resident

of Beekmantown. Debbie is running for the Beekmantownschool sistrict’s board of education.

I have known Debbie for more than six years from schoolactivities and also as a member of the community. Debbiehas a desire to understand the full issues and situations be-fore her. She is committed, energetic, intelligent and logical.

Debbie also is keenly aware of, and concerned about, the stu-dents and others who are associated with the school. I be-lieve that Debbie will be a great steward of our finances; sheunderstands the role of the school board and will be an as-set for our school and our students.

I am well aware of the critically important decisions thatlie ahead. We have many challenges (as do other schools),which need to be faced and dealt with effectively.

We need to elect people who are open to the ideas that willhelp us successfully navigate through difficulties and whooffer energy, integrity, conviction and a spirit of cooperation.

I am proud to support Debbie Passno for Beekmantown’sschool board.

Devi MomotPlattsburgh

Beekmantown in turmoilTo the Burgh:Beekmantown Central School has had a turbulent year.

The NYS Comptroller's report showed the district had an im-proper $10 million dollar fund balance. There was a budg-et error, re-vote and ultimately, budget failure. Finally, theboard approved a principal swap without explanation, out-raging the community.

Under the Freedom of Information Law we obtained highschool class schedules for the last two years. There were/aremultiple classes with sections that have 1-5 students en-rolled.

Is that efficient use of tax dollars?The school board commissioned a study to find efficien-

cies in K-5. The Syversky report was completed in October of 2010 and

cost taxpayers $20,000. The report recommended variousoptions that would preserve programs and increase utiliza-tion rates, thus saving money.

Why hasn't the Board acted on those recommendations?The public has repeatedly asked the board to develop a fi-

nancial plan. To date, there is no plan.During a budget presentation, board member Kourofsky

said having such a plan would be difficult due to “uncertain-ties.”

I disagree: A financial plan is needed more than ever dur-ing times of uncertainty.

Board member Marin attempted to justify higher taxes bysaying that we should all be willing to give up a beer peri-odically, thus enabling us to pay more in taxes.

I disagree. We need to use our tax dollars more wisely andthrowing good money after bad is not a solution.

We will have the opportunity to elect three new boardmembers on May 15.

Please join me in supporting Debbie Passno, April Bingeland Eric Anderson.

They believe in living within our means and will look outfor the kids and the taxpayers, two groups that seem to havelittle say in school matters anymore.

Drug usefrom page 1Hartunian, United States Attorney for the North-ern District of New York. “And the misconcep-tion is that they are less dangerous because theyare prescribed to you.”

“Drug-induced deaths are suddenly soaring,”Hartunian said. “We often focus on the so-calledharder drugs and ignore prescription drug use.

“We are missing out on a problem,” he contin-ued. “The prescription drug industry is huge.”

And it doesn’t help that many doctors enjoykickbacks and that some dole out more than ad-equate pain relief.

“I had shoulder surgery and was given a 30-day supply,” said Terence O’Leary, director, NewYork State Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement. “Itook two pills.”

Youth don’t have to break a leg and visit thedoctor’s office though, as prescription drugs areoften most easily found in the medicine cabinet.

“Take a look at what is in your medicine cabi-net,” said Steve Hanson, acting commissioner forthe New York State Office of Alcoholism and Sub-stance Abuse Services. “There are dangerous sub-stances folks can have access to. They are gettingit from their friends, neighbors and family mem-bers.”

And then there’s synthetic cannabis, a psy-choactive herbal and chemical product sold legal-ly that purports to mimic the effects of marijua-na. It is best known by the brand names K2 andSpice.

Studies suggest its use is associated with acutepsychosis, worsening psychotic disorders, andunsettling previously stable mental states. It mayalso trigger a chronic psychotic disorder, espe-cially among individuals with a family history ofmental illness.

“You don’t know who is making this stuff andwhether they are doing it carefully,” Hanson said.

Another synthetic drug, known as bath saltsand sold legally, is potentially lethal and in thefirst month of 2011 resulted in 248 calls to poisoncenters nationwide compared to 234 during 2010.

Snorted, smoked and injected, it is similar toamphetamines.

Prescription and synthetic drug abuse has beena problem in Plattsburgh for some time, saidPlattsburgh City Police Chief Desmond Racicot.

He continues to be shocked by the amount ofcalls he receives relating to unattended deaths.

Racicot described the death of a woman at a

table with her top off who had been injectingdrugs into her nipples to conceal the track marks.

Favro stressed that drug abuse is the result ofother problems that need to be identified anddealt with.

He pointed to children entertained by iPhonesinstead of parents. Society has become desensi-tized, partially due to what it views on television,he said. Suddenly, much more becomes accept-able and ignorable.

It doesn’t help that education and other valu-able programs that save lives and empower indi-viduals are being cut, he said.

“We need to look at the larger problems thatare causing this,” Favro said. “The results will bethese unnecessary deaths. The cycle has to be bro-ken.”

Cary, with addiction prevalent on both sides ofhis family, started using at 14.

When his family split, he blamed himself. Hefelt that something was wrong, that he was bro-ken.

“We didn’t talk about feelings or emotions orwhat went on in the house,” he said.

Abused by his stepfather, he left and startedhanging with an older crowd.

He thought he used to fit in, but eventually re-alized that he abused drugs and alcohol so he did-n’t have to feel.

He’s smoked, inhaled, popped pills and shotup — whatever it took to get high and escape. Hehas overdosed, sometimes intentionally. He hassought out cancer patients to get their medica-tions.

He has been an addict 34 years, but is on theroad to recovery.

He destroyed relationships, missed out on par-enthood and his kids are addicts.

“I don’t remember them growing up,” he said.

ELLENBURG — Northern Adirondack Central School’s2012-13 budget carries no tax-levy increase.

The tax rate per $1,000 of assessed value at the district hascontinued to decrease for several years and will likely do soonce again.

Yet 60 percent of the voters, or a supermajority, will be re-quired to pass the spending plan.

“What ended up happening with us is that our tax-cap for-mula made us come out at a negative 10 percent, and thatwould have been our tax cap. We would have had to dramat-ically lower the tax rate, and that would have also meant los-ing a lot of positions,” said Superintendent Laura Marlow.

The Northern Adirondack Central School Board unani-mously approved an $18.5 million 2012-13 budget. It repre-sents an increase of 1.53 percent over the current spendingplan.

But it carries a zero percent tax levy increase, markingthree years running the district has carried the same tax levyamount.

School officials estimate that the tax rate per $1,000 of as-sessed property value will be $10.57, which is 10 cents lessthan it is now.

Yet, the spending plan requires the approval of a super-majority of voters because it exceeds the district’s state-im-posed tax levy increase limit of negative 10 percent.

“If we were to go with that negative percentage we wouldlose five to seven more positions, and there is no reason todo that because we are at a zero tax impact,” Marlow said.

The tax cap figure was publicized around the state as twopercent, but as many districts realized, the formula yieldedunique caps at individual schools, at times surpassing thetwo percent figure and at other times coming in lower,though not as low as at Northern Adirondack Central School.

“So we went with a zero percent tax cap increase,” Mar-low said.

The school district’s situation is the result of an anticipat-ed increase in payment-in-lieu-of-taxes revenues.

Northern Adirondack Central School receives annual PI-LOT payments from three wind farms operated by Noble En-vironmental Power and is projected to receive additionalfunds from a second set of wind farms being constructed byMarble River LLC.

“The PILOT monies have certainly been helpful to our dis-trict,” Marlow said. “We are certainly in a lot better shape.”

Marlow said the PILOT revenues and district’s fund bal-ance helped to bridge Northern Adirondack’s $1 million

shortfall that was a result of reduced state aid over the years.The district, along with many others across the country, alsosaw federal stimulus funds run out.

“The unusual part of our budget is the zero percent tax im-pact,” Marlow said. “That is what we have to do. We haveto be able to get a 60 percent supermajority.”

Marlow is fairly confident that will occur. He said the com-munity has historically been supportive of the school budg-et and has approved budgets by large margins in the past.

However, “It is a little disheartening that we have to geta supermajority vote in order to have a zero percent tax im-pact,” she said.

The budget includes minor reductions, at least comparedto many surrounding districts, such as not replacing a Title1 teacher, reducing the music instructor to part-time and dis-continuing the GED program, which included the elimina-tion of a teacher assistant position.

The district also lost a pair of library aide positions.“We have been able to maintain, by and large, our faculty

and staff for the most part,” Marlow said. “I think we are inpretty good shape here.”

Marlow pointed out that in 2006-07 the tax rate was $13.48.Seven years later it will be $10.57.

“I firmly believe a good education isn’t about the moneybut is about the quality of teachers, the dedicated employ-ees and a sound administration,” Marlow said.

“Our tax-cap formula made us come outat negative 10 percent, and that wouldhave been our tax cap. We would have hadto dramatically lower the tax rate and thatwould have meant losing a lot ofpositions.”

CVESfrom page 1

In an effort to improve efficiency and save mon-ey, the New York State Legislature and state Educa-tion Department, in 1948, created Boards of Coop-erative Educational Services (BOCES) to allowschool districts to share services they individuallyoffered.

“Prior to that, each district was replicating serv-ices,” King said. “The state legislature wanted qual-ity programs throughout the state that were less ex-pensive for taxpayers to provide.”

In 1995, Clinton, Essex, Warren and WashingtonBOCES adopted the name Champlain Valley Edu-cational Services, as well as CV-TEC for its Careerand Technical Education Division.

CVES offers career and technical education andspecial education services to students, as well as pro-fessional development and other support services fordistricts. CVES also offers adult education courses.

CVES is comprised of 17 component school dis-tricts and provides specialized programs to otherdistricts within the state.

Before BOCES, school districts tried to provide ca-reer and technical training on their own, but pro-grams across the state were not equitable or accessi-ble to all students. Combining resources throughBOCES was thought to be more cost effective. To-day, the law provides districts with state aid whenthey send students to BOCES.

CV-TEC, through 26 programs, prepares studentsfor careers and lifelong learning, and in the past fouryears, 95 percent of its graduates elected to contin-ue their education in college or entered the work-

force directly after graduation. In the last five years,96 percent of all CV-TEC graduates also graduatedfrom their home school.

CVES offers programs and services for studentswith disabilities in conjunction with their individual-ized education plans. CVES works with families,service agencies and area school districts to create pos-itive learning environments and determine the needfor outside agency support. Students with disabilitiesdevelop and work on individual goals tied to aca-demics, communication, life skills, independence, so-cial/emotional needs and post-secondary goals.

This is where CVES has taken the most significanthit as school districts pull special education studentsback to the district and attempt to educate them ontheir own to save money.

“The majority of students taken back were spe-cial education students,” King said. “We lost a fewCV-TEC students. In 2011-12 we had 637 studentsand 600 now.”

More than a year ago, this resulted in 85 layoffs atCVES, though 10 of them were recalled. Most recent-ly, it resulted in 11 layoffs. Again, this was largely aresult of the migration of special education students.

“We formulate a budget in anticipation of whatdistricts send,” King said. “So we anticipated them.”

This has also resulted in fewer classes in particu-lar areas at CVES.

“There could be a point where we don’t haveenough students to run a class, but that hasn’t hap-pened yet,” King said.

He remains confident CV-TEC will still be need-ed in the future.

“I think the BOCES concept made sense in 1948,and it makes sense now,” he said.

CVPH employees get back paymentsBy Stephen [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — Nearly 150 employees atCVPH Medical Center will share close to $245,000in back payments to their retirement plans. Thepayments are the result of a settlement negotiat-ed by their union. Hospital officials declined tocomment on the settlement.

The New York State Nurses Associationcharged that hospital officials made several er-rors between Jan. 1, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2010. Theerrors were apparently made in calculating the el-igibility dates and level of matching funds for em-

ployees covered by CVPH’s 403(b) plan. In 2008,employees brought the suspected miscalcula-tions to the attention of their union representa-tive. The association subsequently conducted aninvestigation and allegedly found the problem tobe widespread. The association said hospital of-ficials rejected the union’s grievance and insistedthe calculations were correct. The Nurses Associ-ation took the matter to arbitration, winning in2010. The award was confirmed by the New YorkState Supreme Court on Jan. 17, 2012.

A total of 143 employees will share a total of$242,396. Employees will begin receiving theirchecks in May.

The Autism Alliance of Northeastern New York held its annual Autism Awareness Walk on Saturday, April28, 2012 at 10 a.m. at the US Oval in Plattsburgh.The event is a fundraiser for the Autism Alliance of North-eastern New York, a non-profit organization that supports individuals with autism spectrum disorders andtheir families in Clinton County and the surrounding area.
