Strand to host first on-stage production in over 40 years

ON THE COVER: The cast of “The Pride” consists of, though not all pictured, Ella Archer, Jessica Bakeman, Nic Cap-pon, Mary Kate Carter, Ashley Cross, Maria Dominguez, Kate Gardner, Jamila Hinton, Dana Kelly, Lenny Klein, PamLavin, Tom Lavin, Kevin Lewis, Ariel Pylinski, Tyler Rebello, Ruby Roach, Michael Trudo and Brendan Williams-Childs.

By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — Jessic a Bakeman loves theStrand Theatre and its nearly a century of history.

Bakeman’s fondness for the circa 1924 structurebegan when she was writing an article for AllPoints North, the on-line mag azine for the StateUniversity of New York at Plattsburgh, where sheis a double-major student. That’s when she firstsaw the inside of the theatre.

“I had the chance to see the theatr e when theywere first starting to tear down all the things cov-ering up the original stuf f,” said Bakeman, r efer-ring to the hidden original paint and carvings inthe columns and walls that had “such ornate de-tail. “I became curious. I wanted to know mor eabout the Strand and what it meant to peoplethroughout its history.”

Bakeman began reaching out to people who hadconnections to the Strand — those who went therein their younger years and keepers of history whorecalled the theatre’s stature in the community. Sheturned that work into “The Pride,” a musical the-atre revue which tells the story of the Strand.

“It’s been an intense amount of work,” saidBakeman. “It’s in volved interviewing somethinglike 20 people and putting their stories together inchronological or der with the history of the the-atre.”

The story tells, in part, how the Strand was oncea place wher e many couples would go on firstdates — and, if things went well, many dates there-after. One such story is that of Honey and AndreLight, a couple who frequented the Strand prior toWorld War II, and, upon Andre’s return from serv-ing the military overseas, frequented it many timesmore together and eventually with their families.

“I found out the Strand meant a great deal to alot of people,” said Bakeman.

Bakeman, who wrote the script for The Pride,credited the cast and crew for their hard work anddedication as rehearsals have been held and stagepreparations have been made since the cast was an-nounced several weeks ago.

“This is definitely not something I’ve done bymyself,” said Bakeman. “I’ve really learned the dif-ficulty of putting together a show, especially for atheatre that really isn’t ready to put on a show.”

Though the Strand is still in the middle of a mul-ti-million dollar r estoration and r enovation pr oj-ect, Bakeman said the crew has been able to bringin lighting and sound equipment as well as chairsto put on a makeshift production.

“It’s been very difficult, but it’s going to be wellworth it,” said Bakeman.

Tom Lavin, cast member and founder of Adiron-dack Regional Theatre, a local performing arts or-ganization, agreed.

“Ever since I moved here, the Strand is alwaysa place where I wanted to have a performance, saidLavin. “ When I h eard ab out t his, m y w ife, Pam,and I just had to be part of it.”

“It’s very exciting. I don’t know if words can de-scribe it,” added Lavin.

Performances of The Pride will be held at 7:30p.m. Friday, May 6, and Satur day, May 7. A thirdshowing will be offered Sunday, May 8, at 2 p.m.

General admission will be $10. Students will beadmitted for $5. Advance tickets ar e available atthe SUNY Plattsburgh Angell College Center,North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, andBaxter ’s Bagels. Tickets will also be available at thedoor.

Proceeds fr om the pr oduction will benefit theStrand Theatre restoration project, headed by theNorth Country Cultural Center for the Arts.

For more information, contact Bakeman at 585-943-0159 or [email protected]. Becausethe space is unheated, audience members shoulddress appropriately.

POINT AU ROCHE — As the water levelson Lake Champlain began to rise steadily overthe last thr ee weeks, Alice T . Sample waswatching them.

“It was very gradual in the beginning, butin this last week, it has been rising sometimes6 inches a day,” said Sample. “It’s really comeup tremendously.”

As Sample stood on her back porch lookingout at the lake April 28, it was a view of thewater much closer than should would haveliked.

“Normally, you’d see this beautiful r etain-ing wall,” Sample said, motioning to her backyard. “It’s about 75 feet out, but you can’t seeit now.”

The retaining wall? Under water. The greengrass and plants that Sample cares for on a reg-ular basis? Gone.

It’s the highest Sample said she’s seen thelake rise in a long time.

“Craig [Sample’s husband] said the water’sthe highest it’s ever been since 1869,” she said.

Sample’s husband was tracking the cr estlevels on Lake Champlain through the Nation-al Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationand received word that day the lake over the102.10 f t r ecord. T hat r ecord w as c onfirmedwhen it was reported the water level r eached102.50 ft.

“The highest we have ever seen was the101.88 back in 1993,” said Sample.

When that happened, it resulted in she andher husband deciding to have their houseraised 40 inches with a new foundation creat-ed beneath it.

“This morning, we had ducks swimming upto the first step on our deck, investigating tosee if there was any food. Right down there iswhere our house was befor e,” said Sample,pointing to the bottom of the stairs to her deck.“If we hadn’t raised the house, we’d be underwater right now.”

Though Sample didn’t have concerns aboutwater coming into the first floor of her house,she does worry about water flooding her base-ment. Mor e importantly , she has concernsabout it affecting her home septic system andwell.

“That’s what we’re really worried about. Ifthat happens, we’ll have to leave. We can’t livehere without those,” said Sample, adding sheand her husband have already begun to makearrangements to evacuate.

Sample — who runs the Journey Into Read-ing pr ogram, an or ganization which encour-ages literacy in youths by providing them withfree b ooks — h ad a nother c oncern a s w atercrept up. She motioned to several inches of wa-ter covering the brick pavers in fr ont of herhouse leading up to her fr ont porch and howthe water was beginning to kiss the edge of thegarage.

“That’s where I stor e the books,” she said.“We had to get those out of there or they couldhave been ruined ... This is just unbelievable.”

Down the road in Dickson Point, Donald W.Turner was dealing with headaches of hisown. That same day , he was also tr udgingthrough s everal i nches o f w ater i n h is f rontyard. The water had risen fast overnight,breaching the shor eline and sweeping acr osshis pr operty and acr oss the end of the deadend road where his home rests.

FloodingFrom page 4

The high water was something he was brac-ing for, but had no idea would come up so fast.

“Last night was a pleasant evening. We satout and had a drink ...there was a little bit ofstanding w ater, bu t n othing l ike t his,” s aidTurner as he stood in his driveway with wa-ter nearly to the top of his rubber boots.

“My wife woke up this morning around 2a.m. to the sound of the sump pump runningcontinuously. It sounded like running water.So, I got up and went down to the basementwhere there’s an old chimney that has an ashvent and water was just gushing in thr oughthat.”

“We’re completely filled up under thehouse at this point,” he added.

The massive flooding was what Turner con-

sidered the worst welcoming pr esent as heand his wife, Kerrie, had just arrived at Dick-son Point the previous afternoon. The couplehave owned their house there for seven years,using it as a vacation home. It was only recent-ly they retired, made the decision to make theDickson Point property their permanent resi-dence and sold their home in Buffalo.

“So, this is a nice welcome,” said Turner ashe tried to find some semblance of levity in

the situation and let out a chuckle.The d ays f ollowing g ot w orse f or p eople

Now that Warren County has at-tracted a railr oad company tooperate train service — fr eight

hauling and tourist excursions — along itstracks through the Upper Hudson Valley,it’s time to find a solution for the rail linebetween Lake Placid and Tupper Lake.

The choices? 1) Invest in the railr oad by fixing and

maintaining 34 miles of tracks, extendingthe tourist train from Lake Placid to Tup-per Lake.

2) Tear up the tracks and build a multi-use recreational trail fr om Lake Placid toTupper Lake.

3) Do nothing.Right now, nothing is being done. That

would be okay if a compr ehensive study,detailing the projected costs and econom-ic impacts of — 1) investing in the tracksversus 2) investing in a recreation trail —needed to be compiled. But we’re past thatstage. A study, commissioned by AdkAc-tion.org, was completed over the winterby Camoin Associates and Barton & Logu-idice.

Now it’s time for the state of New Yorkto make a decision, as it is the state De-partment of Transportation that owns therail line.

Our opinion: If New York state doesn’tsign a railr oad contract with a privatecompany — of fering fr eight hauling andtourist excursions — by next spring, thetracks should be torn up, and a multi-userecreational trail should be built fr omLake Placid to T upper Lake. That wouldoffer mor e r ecreational options for r esi-dents and the traveling public at a betterprice for the user.

The Adirondack Scenic Railr oad (ASR)currently operates tourist excursions outof Utica, Thendara, and between theSaranac Lake and Lake Placid train sta-tions o n a s easonal b asis. Trains u se t hetracks to transport rolling stock betweenThendara and Lake Placid in the springand fall, yet most of the line is unused dur-ing the warm months. In the winter, whenthe snow is deep enough, snowmobilesuse the corridor , yet the season for goodsnow coverage is r elatively short. Formost of the year , it is wasted space, andtaxpayers foot the bill for maintenance.

A group of Tupper Lakers — Next Stop!Tupper Lake — wants the ASR to extendits tourist train service from Saranac Laketo Tupper Lake. In the Tupper Lake Junc-tion a few years ago, local volunteers re-

built a replica of the old train station. Tup-per Lake is r eady for the train, and itseems the train is r eady for Tupper Lake.But the tracks are not ready; they need anexpensive overhaul.

Let’s weigh the costs and benefits.

Rail lineConstruction cost: $10.6 millionAnnual maintenance: $45,000Net new regional spending: $758,000Permanent jobs created: 13User cost to the public: A r ound-trip

ticket fr om Lake Placid to Saranac Lakecurrently costs $19 per adult, and ticketsto Tupper Lake may be more expensive.

Recreation trail (permanent)Construction cost: $14.6 millionAnnual maintenance: $51,000Net new regional spending: $1.2 mil-

lionPermanent jobs created: 20User cost to the public: It would be free

for the public to use.

It’s simply not worth the taxpayer dol-lars to renovate and maintain a tourist ex-cursion train fr om Lake Placid to T upperLake unless a private rail company — nota not-for -profit group of railfans such asthe Adirondack Scenic Railroad — investsin the rail line, like Iowa Pacific Holdings,Inc. is doing in Warren County.

The newly named Saratoga and NorthCreek Railway will soon r e-open tofreight, and Iowa Pacific has agreed to op-erate tourist excursions from North Creek,including ski trains in the winter . Thecompany will pay for track r epairs up to$50,000, insurance and taxes. And thecounty will receive at least $82,000 duringthe first year.

Adirondack Scenic Railr oad of ficialsand local politicians have been lobbyingfor freight service to the Tri-Lakes for sev-eral years, unsuccessfully, and no contracthas been signed. It’s time to move for-ward. Get a contract now , or tear up thetracks.

Health car e in America consumesover 18 percent of our gross na-tional product (GDP), yet it is one

of t he m ost f ragmented i ndustries i n t hiscountry. It still functions as a cottage indus-try. This leads to confusion, inefficiency anddecreased quality of care. Let’s follow a hy-pothetical patient through the system to tryto understand this fragmentation.

The situation:Alice, 45, is mar-ried and themother of twochildren, aged 5and 9. She andher husbandeach have healthinsurancethrough theirjobs. Other thanto have her twochildren, Alicehas never been inthe hospital. Hermother is diabet-ic; her father , 67,died last year of colon cancer; and her sis-ter, 51, has just been diagnosed with breastcancer. “Doc Jones” is their family physi-cian. Alice has an OB GYN physician sheused during her two pr egnancies. The kidsgo to Dr. Young, a pediatrician.

Because of her sister's breast cancer, Alicedecides she needs to have a checkup herself.

Dr. Jones, who said he can take care ofthe diabetes. First, she needs a gener-al checkup, including a colonoscopy.

-When it comes time for thelumpectomy, the GYN wants her tosee Dr . Blood, the oncologist forchemotherapy recommendations.

-She sees Dr . Blood. He or ders ad-ditional testing and sends her for aconsultation with Dr . Butte for acolonoscopy.

-At the colonoscopy, she is found tohave two polyps, which are removed.

-She returns to Dr. Blood, and he ex-plains that one of the polyps also wassuspicious, and she is going to need arepeat colonoscopy in six months.They go ahead with a course of

chemotherapy as a precaution for herbreast lesion. This means monthly vis-its for injection of the chemotherapyand blood work the week before eachinjection. This will go on for sixmonths, and then they will repeat themammogram and sonogram.

Fast forward one year. Alice has completed the chemother-

apy for her breast lesion, and she hascontinued treatment for her diabetesand had a second colonoscopy. At thatcolonoscopy, another suspiciouspolyp was r emoved and she is nowback in the of fice of Dr . Butte to dis-cuss her thir d colonoscopy. He feelsthat the thir d polyp is abnormalenough that he wants to do a partialcolon re-section and schedules her forthat surgery.

Before that sur gery, which is to bedone at Mega Medical Center Hospi-tal, she needs several mor e tests tolook for possible metastases.

What we have is a woman who

thought she was in good health andwound up with visit to half a dozenproviders, thr ee hospitals two imag-ing centers and thr ee labs. Does thissound familiar to anyone?

Fragmentation issues her e andproblems ar e many but very r eal inour system.

The first issue is that ther e was noone place wher e her data was kept.Every time she saw a new pr ovider,hospital or facility, she went thr oughthe whole r egistration pr ocess againand again.

Second, only Dr. Blood took a thor-ough history and r ealized the familyhistory of diabetes and cancer.

Third, ther e was poor or limitedcommunication between theproviders.

The lack of a common database formedical information on patients likeAlice is one of the biggest failings inU.S. health care. It is made worse be-cause providers collectively do not do

a good job of sharing patient informa-tion.

Over the years, ther e have beenmany attempts to place the burden ofcoordination of car e on the primarycare physician. What happens is theybecome a recipient of information butdo not do a good job of sharing thatinformation with all of the other con-sultants. Too often, as in this scenario,Dr. Jones did not have nor share infor-mation with all the other providers inher care.

For the patient, the fr ustration isthat every new pr ovider becomes aneed to repeat the whole story all overagain and often r esults in r epeatedand unnecessary testing. It can also re-sult in missing important clues as inher case of family disease.

Recalling the hours afterJapan’s devastationBy Josh PraySpecial to Denton Publications

(Editor’s Note: The following is an account of therecent earthquake that hit Japan and the tsunamithat followed told from the point of view of Josh Pray,a former Keeseville resident living in Hawaii at thetime.)

The massive earthquake that str uck recentlyin Japan and ensuing tsunami affected not onlythe citizens and axis of the world, but also struckclosely to my own trivial life. When a farm boyfrom the mountains of the North Country hearsthe words ‘tsunami’ and ‘Japan’ in the same sen-tence, they seem foreign and almost trifling. ‘IceStorm’ sounds scary. ‘Nor ’Easter ’ is enough tosend shivers up my spine. But those wor ds donot send people r unning for the hills. They donot activate air-raid sirens. They do not destroylives. I learned very quickly the troubles of thePan-Pacific world thr ough a first-hand experi-ence with the warmer side of Mother Natur e’sfury.

It was late, around 9 p.m. HST, and I was fin-ishing up my work in the garage of my sister‘shouse on Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneo-he Bay . Just puttering ar ound, sanding andsweeping, when I heard a voice from behind. Itwas friendly, but with a touch of alarm.

“Hey! Yo!”I turned to see the owner of the voice. It was

a marine, not much older than myself, dr essedin desert fatigues with a phone to his ear. I wentback to my work.

“Hey, man. Did you hear about the earth-quake? In Japan?”

Naturally, that caught my attention.“No. What happened.” “Huge earthquake over ther e. Ther e was a

tsunami watch that has been upgraded to atsunami warning. Sirens are about to go off anyminute.”

Quickly I ran inside to warn my family andhelp gather the essentials for a quick getaway .My sister, mother, nephew and I would leave theshores of Windward Oahu and head toward the

center of the island to my apartment in Mililani.There, we would be safe fr om even a 200-footwave.

Without trying to panic, we loaded the vehi-cle with some bedtime storybooks, stuf fed ani-mals and a sleepy two-year-old. On the road, nomusic was playing, only overly-tir ed deejayscalled in on their day of f to repeat informationover and over again while trying to soothe a dis-traught island. Being on a marine base, we r e-ceived the warning much before the civilian sec-tor, and we beat the rush to get to higher ground.

Below us on the str eets, we could see thegrowing lines of traffic heading toward the free-way. People ran with giants rolls of toilet paperunder their arms like crazed football players orcases of water on their heads like Extr emeCharm School students. I could only imaginemy own town would be the sight of much con-fusion and chaos.

Once in Mililani, we dr opped my sister andher son of f in the apartment so he could goquickly back to bed. My mother and I ran to Wal-Mart to stock up on necessities in case the entireisland wer e to be decimated by morning. Thewaves were supposed to hit around 3:00 AM.

I felt like Old Mother Hubbar d in the stor e.All the shelves wer e bar e. Br ead was gone.Canned goods were being bought like hot cakes.Chips and soda wer e worth fighting over . Wa-ter was as good as gold. I bought the gr ocerieswhile my mother waited 45 minutes to fill thecar up with gas.

The whole time I was standing in line, whichwas now extending in to the Greeting Card aisle,I could only imagine what the morning wouldbring. I had seen pictur es of other tsunamis.Cars in the water and boats on land. Palm treeslying crossways like they were just too tired tostand anymore. I imagined pandemonium, butwas happy that we would be safe wher e wewere. Luckily the phone lines wer e not yetjammed so my family knew I was safe for thetime being at least. All I could think of was Haiti2010, Indonesia 2004, and about all the plate tec-tonic lessons I endured in Earth Science class.

There was an air of calm panic. People walkedquickly but remained cordial and even friendly.I saw hand shakes and high fives fr om peoplewho either had not seen each other in a while orexpected to not see each other again. There wasno pushing or shoving, but I have never seen somuch mer chandise moved at 1 1:00 PM. If youwere dropped in the middle of the situation, youwould only have to take one look at the shop-ping carts to know something big was happen-ing.

When I woke the next morning, I saw I had afew dozen missed phone calls and text mes-sages. Bad news travel fast, I suppose. I hopedfor the best, but was prepared for the worst.

Luckily, Oahu r eceived the best. No loss oflife or pr operty and we wer e given the “allclear” message fr om the governor himself be-fore noon.

What could have been a devastating experi-ence turned out to be no more than a dry run forme. I felt silly after I looked at my usually barefridge, now chock full of milk, water, meats andcandy bars. I could not help but think and laughat how much Wal-Mart must have profited fromsuch panic.

So, no, North Country . I cannot warm yourheart with harrowing tales of conquering insur-mountable odds. There was no dramatic musicto be played in that scene of my life story. I wonno medals for bravery or her oism. I was just aNorth Country bumpkin out of his element andscared stiff by a warning. I would like to tell youI saved lives and made death back down after Igave it a steely look and beat my chest. I ran,bought Hershey’s chocolate bars and fell asleep.

Josh Pray, a former Keeseville resident living in Hawaii at the time of the recent earthquake and tsunami inJapan, recalled the events following devastation overseas.

Yes, it’s true, exer-cise does a bodygood, but it is

also true that virtually anykind of exercise can reducestress as well. Exercise im-proves your overall healthand sense of well-being.Some of the dir ect str essreducing benefits you willsee from exercising will be:

Increased EndorphinProduction — Endorphinsare the feel-good neur o-transmitters pr oduced bythe brain. Often referred to as a “runner ’shigh,” other forms of exer cise such as ahike or playing soccer can contribute tothe same feeling.

Exercise can be meditative — I often getthis feeling after swimming laps in thepool. You are “in the moment” focusing onyour form and br eathing, ther efore notgiving into mindless thoughts and distrac-tions from your day’s str esses. Your ten-sions will slowly dissipate leaving youwith a clearer mind and more positive out-look.

Exercise can help to improve your mood— Regular exer cise can incr ease confi-dence and lower symptoms associatedwith mild depr ession and anxiety . Thiscan ease your levels of stress and give you

a sense of contr ol overyour body and life.

How do I get started?First, you’ll want to con-

sult your doctor . Remem-ber to gradually build upyour pr ogram; you’ll bemore likely to stick to it ifyou don’t over do it in thebeginning.

Do what you love. Exer-cise should be fun and youare more likely to continueto do something that youenjoy rather than dread.

Pick a time and stick to it. Consider itlike an appointment to yourself, yourhealth, and your well-being. Schedule it inif you have to. Set some goals and striveto achieve them. Find a friend to help keepeach other motivated, and change up yourroutine often to keep your body guessingand to keep things exciting.

If you need help getting started with anexercise program, feel free to contact me.

Relieving stress with exerciseLandscape mulches ar e

used to pr otect soil,conserve moistur e,

moderate soil temperatur e, andlimit weed gr owth, as well asbeautify and unify landscapeplantings. Most mulches ar emixtures of shredded wood andbark residues from lumber andpaper mills, arboricultural andland-clearing operations, andwooden pallet disposal or r ecy-cling facilities.

Like other or ganic matter ,wood and bark decompose overtime. The primary or ganisms involved withtheir decomposition ar e bacteria and fungi.Bacteria are microscopic organisms that are notvisible in the mulch. Fungi also may be micro-scopic, but many develop visible reproductivestructures.

The fungi involved in the decomposition oflandscape mulches ar e natural components ofthe envir onment. The most fr equent types offungi found in wood mulches include variousmushrooms, slime molds, bir d’s nest fungus,and artillery fungus. These fungi are not harm-ful to landscape plants and no known healthhazards are associated with them unless theyare eaten. They can be found April through Oc-tober, usually following rainy weather.

Bird’s nest fungus has a fr uiting str ucturethat looks like a miniature bird’s nest with tiny

eggs. The eggs are actually thefungi’s spor es. This fungus isharmless and does not have tobe removed.

Another harmless mulchfungus is the slime mold. Theseare the fungi that appear dur-ing damp conditions that looklike the neighbor ’s dogbrought up last night’s dinneronto your mulch. While thisfungus may look disgusting, itfeeds of f of bacteria in themulch and is harmless.

The one fungus you willwant to r emove is artillery fungus. These r e-semble tiny cups with one black egg. The “egg”is the spores. Eventually, the fungus shoots thissticky spore “egg” into the air. If the spore masslands on siding or a car , the sticky black massis almost impossible to remove. If you happento remove it, it leaves a brown mark. If you arehaving issues with artillery fungus, it is best toreplace the wood mulch with an inor ganicmulch, such a rubber or stone. Otherwise, youwill have to keep an eye out for the fruiting, orsporing, structures and try to remove them pri-or to them releasing their spores.

PLATTSBURGH— The local weatherhas been permeated with pr ecipitationthese last weeks, to the delight, and dis-may of allergy sufferers.

Rain evidences itself as a cleanse forthose suffering spring aller gies accord-ing to TheWeatherChannel.com.

“Rain can bring welcome relief for al-lergy sufferers, if it rains heavy enoughthat is... a good heavy rain can clean theair for the hours during and after itfalls.”

Dr. Jay K. Bhasin of Plattsbur gh con-tradicts this corr elation however, link-ing rain and increased allergies.

“Having a lot of rain helps spread al-lergen's mor e easily,”said Bhasin.

This counterar gu-ment notes incr easedgrowth due to wetconditions. Aller gieswhich are already ex-istent, are exacerbatedby the weather.

“Usually rain is inspringtime, andspring and fall ar e the biggest aller gyseasons,”noted Bhasin.

Plattsburgh weather has caused a“heightened number of allergy issues inthe office,” acknowledged Bhasin.

Bill Watson, a local pharmacist at Kin-ney Dr ugs, disagr eed with Bhasin’sclaims, saying allergy prevalence is nor-mal for the season.

“We’re at the cusp of the season any-way... but I certainly don't’ think its dueto increased rain,” he said.

For Watson, the only existent danger

involves flooding.“If people don’t get the water out,

there will be mold and mi ldew, whichmany people have a sensitivity to.”

Excluding pharmaceutical r emedies,Bhasin remarked that little can be done.

“For the rain there's not awhole lot you can do — it’sMother Nature.”

For those suf fering f romallergies, or who believethey may be suffering aller-gy symptoms Bhasinstressed visiting one’s doc-tor.

“A lot of people don’tknow what their allergic

to,” he said.Allergy suf ferers seem doomed r e-

gardless of weather conditions, asBhasin ex plained t he p revalence of a l-lergen's in all seasons.

“The rain can make it worse,” saidBhasin, “ but a llergies a re s o c ommonand widespread that you will get themin all kinds of weather.”

News of the Week Essex County

List continues to grow astowns find more floodingproblems on roadwaysBy Keith [email protected]

ELIZABETHTOWN — Local lawmak-ers rushed to pr ovide funding May 2 asthe list of pr oblems fr om last week’sflooding continued to grow.

The Essex County Board of Supervisorsapproved a r esolution authorizing theuse of up to $2.5 million fr om the unap-propriated fund balance to help pay forrepairs to r oadways and infrastr ucturethroughout the county during its regularmonthly meeting.

“According to the lists that I have r e-ceived, we are currently looking at about$2.2 million in damages,” County Manag-er Daniel Palmer said. “We would use themoney to fund pr ojects as they camedown the road.”

Palmer said that the ideal situationwould be that the funds would eventual-ly be r eplenished thr ough federal r elieffunding.

“If we end up with the federal funding,then we can r epay the fund balance,”Palmer said. “If we do not receive FEMAfunding, then we are going to have to lookat a long-term bond situation.”

“We feel that this is the way that weneed to go right now,” County Chairman

Randy Douglas said. “Everybody isworking hard to get the numbers concern-ing the amount needed for repairs.”

The funding was immediately put touse, as County DPW Superintendent An-thony J. LaVigne asked for permission tostart the r econstruction pr ocess of theBroad Street and Titus Road bridges in thetown of Moriah.

“We have enter ed into an emer gencycontract with Kubricky Constr uction forBroad Str eet in Moriah,” LaV igne said.“We continue to complete assessmentsand are going out to do r oad and bridge

inspections.”LaVigne added that he did not feel that

all the damages were known.“The damages ar e widespr ead

“Various towns got hit mor e than oth-ers,” New York State DOT resident engi-neer Mike Fayette said. “We are more for-mally working with the towns by the or-der of the Governor (Andrew Cuomo). Weare willing to provide the equipment andthe people to the towns.”

Dr. Thomas Staplefordto take over for A. PaulScott beginning July 1By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PERU — Dr . Thomas A. Staplefor d hasbeen named the new superintendent for thePeru Central School District.

The district boar d of education awar dedStapleford a three-year contract for the posi-tion April 28 after a mor e than three-monthprocess of reviewing applications and inter-viewing candidates for the position. Staple-ford will be paid $145,000 annually.

Superintendent A. Paul Scott, who an-nounced his retirement in December, said hewas involved in the board’s selection processand had the opportunity to meet with Staple-ford, whom he credited for having “an exten-sive experience in public education.”

“The board was fortunate to have 1 1 verystrong candidates apply,” said Scott, “many

of whom had the appropriate types of back-ground and experience that enabled them tobe considered.”

In the end, the selection pr ocess camedown to Stapleford and Stephen Br oadwell,superintendent of the W illsboro CentralSchool District. Br oadwell withdr ew hisname from consideration, citing a desir e toremain in his current position at WCS.

When r eached for comment, Staplefor dsaid he was “very , very excited” to r eceivethe superintendency and that he was excitedto return to his roots in K-12 education. Sta-pleford previously served as superintendentof the Germantown Central School District inColumbia County and the T uscarora SchoolDistrict in Mercersburg, Pa.

“I’ve r eally always liked working withparents, faculty members, boar ds, and thecommunity in general,” said Staplefor d.“That’s r eally wher e r ubber hits the r oadwhen it comes to education.”

Stapleford comes to the area most recentlyserving as an assistant professor and coordi-nator of graduate studies at Temple Univer-sity in Harrisburg, Pa. The 48-year -old edu-cator and administrator said he sought the

position at Peru when he learned his positionat Temple would likely be eliminated. Hisfirst thought, he said, was to go back to work-ing in the public school sector where he had“really gr eat memories and experiences.”Though Staplefor d acknowledges “signifi-cant challenges” face today’s public schoolsystem financially, not all hope is lost, hesaid.

“I believe the futur e is actually quitebright,” said Staplefor d. “I think that ther eare many, may ways in which our school sys-tem has the opportunity to evolve, andthrough the use of technology , I think thatwill provide us with new modes of teachinglearning to help us on our way.”

Stapleford is a father of thr ee and the au-thor of the book, “Dispute: Conflict Resolu-tion for School Leaders,” which has beenwidely used in school districts in the Mid-west and West Coast.

“When a conflict arises, ther e ar e folkswithin that situation that have needs theywant met, and a way to resolve the situationis meeting those needs,” explained Staple-ford, who added he hopes his philosophy canbe used in his new position to continue the

work of what he calls “an excellent schooldistrict.” “Conflict is an inevitable part of lifeand we have to deal with efficiently. And, it’sthe same with students or whoever it may be.You have to identify where you can begin andfind a place where you can all agree.”

“I only hope I can add to the very str ongleadership of Mr. Scott and the work of a veryproactive board of education,” added Staple-ford.

Stapleford holds a bachelor ’s degree fromPennsylvania State University in UniversityPark, Pa.; a master’s degree from Brown Uni-versity in Pr ovidence, R.I.; and a doctoratefrom Columbia University , New York City.His first day on the job will be Friday, July 1.Stapleford will work with Scott in the com-ing weeks to pr epare for the transition ofleadership.

“[Stapleford] is certainly very experiencedbut as with any new job, ther e’s a period oftime to become familiar with the policies andprocedures. I will do my best to see he hasaccess to everything he needs to start July 1well-prepared,” said Scott. “It’ll be a privi-lege to engage with him in these weeksahead.”

Clinton CountySheriff warns about mail scams

ELIZABETHTOWN — Sheriff Richard Cut-ting is again warning the public against recente-mails and now, regular mail advising of a sig-nificant inheritance.

Recently, the Essex County Sherif f ’s Of ficereceived a complaint concerning mail receivedadvising of a multi-million dollar European in-heritance. The writer claims to be an attorneyrepresenting an estate worth millions. He fur-ther states that he is unable to track any livingrelatives of the deceased and as the r ecipienthas the same last name, he would like to pr es-ent this person as the rightful heir.

This piece of mail went to an unoccupied ad-dress and was only sent by last name and firstinitial and had a Portuguese postmark.

Inquiries as to the bank holding these fundsand the credentials of the alleged attorney werefruitless.

Again, be careful of any information you mayshare. As always, “if it looks too good to betrue, it probably is.”

Authorities still aim to takeillegally used prescriptiondrugs off the streetsBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — Local law enforce-ment agencies want to get unwantedprescription dr ugs out of potential cir-culation by those using them for reasonsother than their intended purposes.

Authorities locally joined othersacross the country April 30 for NationalPrescription Dr ug Take-Back Day, aninitiative which marked its second year.During a pr ess confer ence at the localDrug Enforcement Administration officein Plattsbur gh the day befor e, Albany-based DEA Assistant Special Agent inCharge James Burns stated last year ’sNational Pr escription Dr ug Take-BackDay was “a resounding success” result-ing in the lar gest drug seizure in histo-ry.

“The DEA collected 121 tons of un-wanted pr escription and over -the-counter medications,” said Burns. “Thatnumber is almost unfathomable.”

In New York State alone, appr oxi-mately 7 tons of prescription drugs werecollected — nearly a half-ton of that wascollected in the North Country , saidBurns.

“So, there’s quite a bit of this stuff outhere,” he said.

As of T uesday afternoon, Burns saidinitial tallies showed 26,000 pounds ofunwanted pr escription dr ugs wer e col-lected, 22,500 pounds of which collectedfrom the Albany r egion north. In theNorth Country specifically , appr oxi-mately 574 pounds were collected.

“We literally did over twice what wedid six months ago,” said Burns. “Ithink when we get the national figur esin a few days, we’ll far exceed what wecollected last year nationwide.”

The reason for the push on the collec-tion of pr escription dr ugs by the DEAand other agencies is because the num-ber of illegal dr ug busts is incr easinglyrelated to those possessing medicationsthat were originally purchased for validuses.

The drugs end up on the str eets afterbeing stolen during home invasions andeven by family members of those takingprescription medications, said Burns.More often than most would think, hesaid, cases involve childr en swipingmedications from their par ents or evengrandparents by going into their medi-cine cabinets.

“The vast majority of people 12 yearsold and older have experimented or areusing prescription drugs for nonmedicalpurposes,” said Burns. “Pr escriptiondrug abuse has become epidemic in our

country.”Regardless of how someone comes

across pr escription medications not in-tended for them, their use is against thelaw, said Burns.

“If the prescription is not for you, fora specific medical condition, then it’s il-legal to be doing it and you’r e puttingyourself at risk not only for legal action,but you’re putting your health at risk,”he said. “You could die from this.”

According to the Substance Abuse andMental Health Services Administration,emergency r oom visits r elated to pr e-scription drug-related illnesses have ex-ceeded those r elated to illicit dr ugs forthree consecutive years. In 2009, 1.2 mil-lion patients were taken to an emergencyroom for pharmaceutical dr ug use — anumber nearly double the number seenin 2004, which was 627,000.

The DEA and other agencies are utiliz-ing events like the National T ake BackInitiative as they work their way towardeliminating illegal pr escription dr uguse, said Burns.

“We don’t want to just arrest our wayout of this problem,” he said.

Lt. Chuck Potthast, with the State Po-lice Bur eau of Criminal Investigation,agreed. Potthast said he would rathersee the problem stopped at its source, byfinding ways to keep the drugs out of thehands of drug abusers in the first place.

“It’s a huge per centage of the illicit

drugs and illegal dr ugs that ar e outthere,” Potthast said of pr escriptiondrugs. “We all r ealize it’s a pr oblem.And I think we’r e all attacking it withthe weapons that we have.”

Potthast said he has also dealt withcases of Medicaid fraud where those onassistance have either given or sold theirprescription dr ugs. That’s somethingthat can lead to serious legal action andsomething that could even be worse forthe persons receiving benefits.

“People out there, in that regard, whoare selling their medication, should bevery leery that ther e may be r epercus-sions here as far as what’s going to hap-pen with their benefits,” he said.

Assistant U.S. Attorney ElizabethHorsman said it’s important the agen-cies investigate all avenues of getting allforms of drugs off the streets and out ofthe hands of those who abuse them.

“We’re looking to see whatever we cando individually in our agencies as wellas what we can do as pr osecutors, lawenforcement, to addr ess this pr oblem,”said Horsman.

Those who missed the National Pr e-scription Drug Take-Back Day may con-tact their local law enfor cement agencyor pharmacy to find out when pr escrip-tion drugs may be dr opped off prior toanother National Pr escription Dr ugTake-Back Day planned this October.

Payne said that he hopes the team will beready when it comes to post season play tomake an impact on the Sectional and statequalifying tournaments.

“A successful season for Seton Catholicwould be a winning r ecord,” Payne said.“Ideally, we hope to do well in Sectionalsand move some players deep in the qualifi-er tournament.”
