PLATTSBURGH — The annual meeting of the CVPH Med-ical Center board of directors reported considerableprogress made in 2010.
The hospital provided care for more people than ever be-fore last year, crediting the increase in services to growth inoutpatient volumes. Inpatient admissions and patient dayswere up slightly. Heart Center utilization by people fromthroughout a four-county region continued to increase withan 18 percent growth in procedures compared to 2009.
The theme of the meeting, attended by more than 120 arealeaders who are members of the CVPH Corporation, focusedon health reform and the quest for value.
According to CVPH president and chief executive officerStephens Mundy, hospitals across New York need to under-
go a transformation in order to succeed in the future.“I’m happy to be able to say that we have already done
considerable work to be ready for health-care reformwhether it’s been improving quality, reducing cost or collab-orating with the Adirondack Region Medical Home,”Mundy said.
Mundy also mentioned a focus on ongoing employee ed-ucation and training in partnership with local colleges as animportant strategy in preparing for tomorrow.
On an average day at CVPH in 2010, a total of 1,189 pa-tients were treated. This included an inpatient census of 276,139 emergency visits, 58 surgeries, 190 Diagnostic Centervisits, 65 clinic visits and three births.
Thanks to a one-time payment of $5.6 million by Medicare
going back to 2006, CVPH experienced an operating marginof $7,934,925 on revenues of $277,927,817. This representedan operating margin of 2.9 percent. Without the Medicare ad-justment the operating margin would have been 0.9 percent.
In 2010, employment increased by 66 full-time equivalentemployees. Twenty new physicians were recruited to theCVPH medical staff. Over the past 10 years, the workforceat CVPH has grown by 22 percent, with almost 2,300 peoplenow on the payroll, making CVPH the largest employer inthe region.
Robert Smith of Nine Platt Hospitality Group was electedto the CVPH board of directors. He replaces Clinton Coun-ty Clerk John Zurlo, whose term expired. John Massella ofMassella & Associates chairs the 15-member board.

Meeting the needs ofspecial needs patients
Many women want tostart strength trainingbecause they hear
about all the benefits, but theydon’t know where to start, or ifthey are doing it correctly. Somejust need the motivation of havingsomeone else coach them or frombeing in a group environment.
It’s important to build up to us-ing heavier weights and/or morechallenging exercises, which is es-sential for building lean muscle.Not to be confused with bulkymuscles, which women just do nothave the hormones to build natu-rally.
Increasing your lean musclemass is important in many ways.For one, as you age, your leanmuscle mass naturally starts to de-cline. When this happens, your
body fat levels rise and your me-tabolism slows down. This canalso happen as a result of dieting.If you are not eating enough calo-ries to meet your basic metabolicneeds, your body starts to useyour muscle for fuel, which de-creases your lean muscle mass,causing your body fat levels to riseand your metabolism to slow. Thishits most middle-aged womenwith a double weight loss disaster.You can not healthfully alter yourbody composition by doing end-less hours of cardio and dieting!You will ultimately be settingyourself up for failure.
You must have a balanced com-bination of strength training, car-dio, and nutrition, to see the re-sults that will help to improveyour health, and achieve that lean,firm body that you’re after.
It’s also importantto take regular bodyfat measurements tomake sure you are onthe right track. Whybody fat and notweight? Well whenyou are strength train-ing you are buildinglean muscle whichweighs more than fat,so the scale is not themost reliable way tomeasure yourprogress. If the num-bers are not moving in the right di-rection, you will know right awaythat you will need to take a look atwhat you are eating, and if you aresticking to the program, and makesome changes from there.
Women On Weights is a progres-sive strength training program for
women I havedeveloped tohelp teachwomen aboutstrength train-ing and its bene-fits. The class isperfect for any-one wanting toget in greatshape — begin-ners and experi-enced exercisersalike — whilelearning a safe
and healthy way to go about it.Classes now offer nutritionalguidance along the way, with anon-line menu and activity plannerparticipants will have access to forfree. However, this class is not justfor middle age women — teensages 16 and older are welcome to
join and will see the same benefits.Class numbers are kept low to as-sure proper supervision and moreindividual contact.
The class fills up quickly andthere are only a few spots left forthe next class starting Tuesday,Feb. 8, so contact me as soon aspossible to reserve your spot.

The importance of strength training for women
More than 70 emergency responders receive specialized trainingBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]
KEESEVILLE — When heading to a call,emergency responders don’t always knowwhat to expect. That’s why Kent Faus workswith a core team of volunteers to providetraining for their fellow emergency medicalservice providers.
Since 2009, Morrisonville Ambulance Ser-vice has sponsored a “Patients with SpecialNeeds Conference” to provide specializedtraining for emergency personnel, and thisyear was no exception. Faus, who serves asEMS captain for the Morrisonville rescuesquad, said the goal is to provide better in-sight into the vast health issues and psycho-logical conditions of patients with special
needs.“The purpose is to learn more about peo-
ple we don’t deal with on a continuous ba-sis,” said Faus.
The challenge of delivering emergencymedical care can be enough on its own, butworking with a severely autistic patient orone with special medical needs can be diffi-cult if responders don’t know in advancehow to deliver appropriate care or be pre-pared for severe behavior issues.
“There are certain clientele that we dealwith that we don’t know a lot about; wedon’t have a lot of training on,” said Faus,adding mainstream EMS training only givesa “snapshot” of handling patients withAlzheimer ’s disease, cystic fibrosis and

Driving down Cor-nelia Street lastweek, I was re-
minded by the friendly per-son in the funny green outfitthat tax season is here yetagain. Using a local businessto complete the chore is oneway to accomplish things;another way is to do it your-self with readily availablesoftware.
I wrote about this firstproduct last year after usingit for a number of years. It’san on-line product called “Tax Act” from2nd Story Software. When I first used theservice it offered completely free feder-al and state tax prep and only requiredpayment if I wanted to e-file. Theprocess proved to be easy and it con-tributed additional dollars to my refunddue to a deduction I was not aware of.So, I paid the less than $20 fee, got aquick two-week refund via e-filing, andnever looked back.
Tax Act is easy to use and requiresnothing be installed on the PC. It oper-ates over a secure http connection simi-lar to online retail sites. A user can starta return and go as far as desired beforelogging off. Secure Tax Act servers will
save all work accom-plished and allow easyaccess to the pointwhere preparationended. Users returningfrom the previous yearcan have all pertinentinformation importedinto the new tax returnsaving even more time.Find Tax Act online atwww.taxact.com.
TurboTax is anotherservice that has gaineda following and while I
have personally never used it I’m sure itworks equally as well as Tax Act. The keyto both services is the straight-forwardquestioning that allows the software toprovide qualified deductions or creditsfor the user. It takes the frustration outof interpreting IRS instructions. Theservices work for both personal andsmall business returns.

The following are somenotable points whichyou should review to
see if any of these changes willapply to you or will impact yourpersonal or financial health.
Medicaid: In February 2011there will be a full 5-year lookback for all gifts given by anyapplicant for Medicaid (with afew limited exceptions). Don’tthrow away your bank records,financial statements, tax re-turns, and other financialrecords, until they are more than5 years old.
Power of Attorney: There is a new Powerof Attorney law that came into effect as ofSept. 12, 2010, which superseded the previ-ous law that went into effect in September2009. Under the new law, any previoussigned power of attorney is still valid (butonly if signed and notarized before the Sept.12). If you haven’t checked for a while, besure you still have your original Power of At-torney in a good, secure and fireproof place.If you need to draft a new Power of Attorney,be sure that you use the form dated effectiveSept. 12.
Estate Taxes: As of Jan. 1, 2011, in NewYork State, any estate more than $1 milliondollars may be subject to both federal and
state estate/inheritance tax.Unless the law is changed—and that is quite possible—special planning should bedone if your total and/orcombined financialestate(s), including life in-surance and retirement ac-counts, may be over thatamount. The first $1 millionwill be tax-free, butamounts over that may besubject to both Federal andState estate tax, dependingon the law in effect at some
later date.Health Care Directives: And finally, be
sure to check to see if you have the appropri-ate advance health care directives in yourfiles. We strongly urge that each person havenamed a Health Care Proxy (principal and al-ternate agent) and execute a Living Will ifthat meets with your beliefs and wishes

Events remind us that respect is key to toleranceSeveral events have hit home with me re-
cently, causing me pause and to reflectabout the true meaning and impact they
have, not only on my life, but the lives of all whoshare this small world we all call home.
Perhaps like you, I pull from life experiencesto draw perspective on current events. I thoughtback to my childhood upbringing. I was taughtto respect the differences of others and to be tol-erant of those around me, for they also had“rights,” In the early 1960s, my family movedfrom western Pennsylvania to the deep south,in Texas.
Two situations crossed my mind.For those of you who may not have been
around back then, the nation was dealing withsevere racial issues and African Americans inour society had not yet achieved true equality. Irecall after school I would hang around and helpthe African American janitor empty waste papercans and sweep the floors. Our neighborhoodwasn’t racially diverse, but I had no precon-ceived notions about such things. I must havebeen in second grade or so and no one was pay-ing me or forcing me by way of punishment tobe there. We came from very different back-grounds, but I recall enjoying his company. Hewas a nice man and we laughed and talkedabout the events of our day. Of course, I waspretty much oblivious to the racial issues, ex-cept for some cautioning by my parents. I did-n’t know or care about the racial events swirlingaround. He accepted me and I him.
About the same time I recall a school yard bul-ly. He was about a year or two older than I, and
for a period, every time hewould see me, he would grabme by the shoulders and throwme to the ground. And I wasn’tthe only one who suffered thisritual fate. I didn’t know him,nor did I ever have a run-inwith him before this started,but being larger and tougher inappearance than me at thetime, I had no choice but tobrush myself off and try mybest to steer clear of him on theplayground at recess. Then oneday he approached me, and asI prepared to bite the dust, hestopped, apologized and asked if we could befriends. At the time it seemed like a great alter-native to not being friends.
As we palled around, I discovered we hadmany differences and oddly enough he was anatheist going to a Catholic school. On occasion,the kid would eat dog or cat food. Gainesburg-ers had recently been introduced and I recall heconsidered them a delicacy. Despite his encour-agement, there was no way I was putting thatstuff to my lips. We would talk about religiousbeliefs, and while we never swayed each other,it never seemed to matter to either of us. I laterlearned more about the difficult life and pover-ty his family experienced.
As we fast forward to 2011, I can’t help butwonder why we can’t accept the differencesamong us and be more tolerant of each other. Asa young child, I was able to accept people forwho they were with no strings attached. But
more and more these days peo-ple seem to be confusing free-doms with an entitlement to con-trol. We hear stuff like, “I’m en-titled to have whatever I wantand anyone who stands in theway of my choices will just haveto change their ways becausethis is MY America and anythingthat I find opposed to MY Way ofLife must be wrong!”
The Bill of Rights guaranteesus certain freedoms, amongthem the right to assemble, tospeak freely, to respect the estab-lishment and practice of reli-
gion, to be secure in our homes and to not un-duly deny the rights of others. But these lawsdesigned to protect the freedoms of all are be-ing used by a few who find some actions or ac-tivities offensive to their beliefs.
In Essex County government, some find ashort prayer before the session offensive. InTupper Lake, despite strong community sup-port, we see environmental groups blockingneeded economic development proposed by theAdirondack Club. Last year, we saw some of thesame groups behind blocking the developmenton the Lewis Family Farm in Essex.
There are many things going on all around usthat some find offensive and yet others find veryacceptable and that’s OK. We can and will havedifferences. It is those differences that make usstrong and unique.
But there are big differences between offend-ing actions and seeking to control everything
you see, hear and want. You might be offendedby hearing a prayer. So come to the meeting afew minutes late or close your eyes and listen toyour iPod… you’ll survive the experience. Youmight be offended that in this tiny hamlet ofTupper Lake a resort club and homes will bebuilt, people will have jobs, storefronts will bea filled, and money will again flow through thisonce prominent community improving thequality of life for those who make this area theirhome… you’ll survive if they build it, whilemany may not survive if it doesn’t get built.
Last week I attended the Bullying Discussionhosted by MAPP. The discussion focused on bul-lying in our schools. We heard about local sta-tistics, watched a video that featured a numberof children around the country who have beenbullied because of simple and meaningless dif-ferences. Some have even been driven to com-mit suicide. Like my friend in grade school orthe elderly janitor who taught me much aboutpeople, I didn’t have to agree with their beliefsor the things they did to accept them. Skin col-or, religious or political beliefs, mode of dress,color of your hair, where you choose to live orother life style choices ... there are plenty of daysI shake my head at the actions of others whothink and act differently than I, but, in the end,so long as they are doing no personal harm toanyone, I can respect their right to share thissmall world and enjoy the control, over their lifechoices, that I have the right to expect in my ownlife choices.

Seed catalogs for the2011 planting seasonare currently avail-
able, making all the northerngardeners long for the springgardening season. Looking atseed catalogs in they winter isalmost like going on mini-va-cation. Did you know thatmore than just flower and veg-etable seeds can be orderedthrough a catalog?
Many fruit trees and shadetrees can be shipped throughthe mail as bare-root stock.Bare-root trees are dug from the groundwhen the tree is dormant. Then, the dirt isshaken off and the trees are stored cool stor-age until they are shipped out.
There are many advantages to purchasingtrees that are bare-root. Because soil isheavy, container-grown and balled andburlapped trees are more expensive thanbare root trees. Buying a bare root stock cansave you between 30 and 60 percent.
Bare root trees can have up to 200 percentmore roots than balled and burlapped orcontainer trees. This helps the bare root treesestablish faster and grow better the first fewyears after transplanting.
Finally, bare root trees are light. Most ofthe weight of a transplant comes from thesoil in the container. This makes moving andplanting a bare root trees easy.
Working with bare roottrees does have some dis-advantages. Because thetrees do not have soil ontheir roots, the roots candry out and die. Depend-ing on the amount of rootdeath, the entire tree candie. The key to success isto make sure the tree nev-er dries out.
To help ensure success,order your trees duringthe winter and late spring.Once the trees arrive, dip
the tree roots in a slurry of hydrogel (a syn-thetic water-absorbing compound) thenstore the trees in a large, pleated plastic baguntil planting. If no hydrogel is used, soakthe trees in water for 12-24 hours and imme-diately plant. Until you can plant them keepthe trees covered, shaded, and moist untilactually put into the ground.
With all the benefits it’s no wonder whymany nurseries sell out early. If you chooseto buy on-line or via mail-order make sureyou buy from a reputable company that of-fers reasonable guarantees and money-backoffers in case they don’t send you quality.

ROUSES POINT — It’s been more thana year since the region celebrated the400th anniversary of Samuel de Cham-plain’s travels through the area. Now abook commemorating the quadricentenni-al and the events that took place in the vil-lage of Rouses Point is available.
Rouses Point-Champlain Historical So-ciety president Geri Favreau, with thehelp of Elaine Rochester Cloutier, spentthe past year not only putting together asouvenir book based on the quadricenten-nial, but adding information and photo-graphs from the 1959 celebration and thetricentennial celebration in 1909.
“There’s a couple from here in RousesPoint who has a very very nice book andhad pictures from 1909 and an actual post-card,” Favreau said.
Favreau also received copies of pro-grams from the 1909 celebration, as wellas information from the 1955 book by JohnRoss, “This Happened Here: The Story ofthe Lake Champlain Territory.”
The 40-page, full color book, printed byBorder Press in Rouses Point, also featurescopies of newspaper articles from TheNorth Countryman, The Press-Republican,and the former Plattsburgh Sentinel, for allthree celebrations in the last century.
“When I was trying to put together thequad events, I was curious to see what hadbeen done in previous years,” Favreausaid. “I wanted to make sure there was arecord of what we had done here in Rous-es Point for 2009 for use by people in 50years, or a hundred years or 200 years.”
There is also a list of all the events andphotographs of what took place in RousesPoint during the quad, including the Mys-tery Girl Contest and the visit by the LoisMcClure.
“I had a lot of pictures from 2009 and wecouldn’t use them all, you just can’t,”Favreau said.
She also took the time to try to identifyas many people in the photographs as pos-sible.
“We put names under the pictures, be-cause I think that’s very important,”Favreau said. “When I look back, I like toknow who I’m looking at.”
The proceeds from the souvenir book,priced at $30, will benefit the RousesPoint-Champlain Historical Society.Copies of the book can be purchased atCornerstone Drug & Gift in RousesPoint,by calling Favreau at 297-2064, or bycalling Mary Racicot at 297-6138.

Business and tourism center,chamber of commerce partnerBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]
WILMINGTON — The North Country Cham-ber of Commerce and Whiteface Region Busi-ness and Tourism Center have signed a partner-ship agreement that is believed will benefit bothorganizations.
The agreement — signed during a Jan. 27meeting between the two organizations at theAdirondack Holiday Lodge — is one that hascome to fruition after much interest, saidWRBTC president Susan Rose-Hockert.
“This has been years in the making,” saidRose-Hockert. “The stumbling block has alwaysbeen coming up with an exchange of value.”
NCCC president Garry F. Douglas said the“exchange of value” is how the partnershipwould be mutually beneficial to both parties.With the Plattsburgh-based chamber of com-merce offering its clout as a more than 4,000-member organization that actively lobbies gov-ernment officials, it was important to determinewhat the WRBTC could offer in return, he said.
“With this partnership, we’re getting what wewant for regional purposes — stronger advoca-cy, stronger support for economic development,more capacity for services ... and [WRBTC mem-bers] are getting access to services they haven’tbeen able to offer with smaller numbers,” saidDouglas.
The WRBTC’s membership remained rela-tively stagnant in recent years, hovering aroundthe 100-member mark, said Rose-Hockert. How-ever, after retooling their membership struc-ture, the WRBTC made it more affordable forstart-up businesses to join, she said, therebymaking their organization more attractive to theNCCC for adding to their own membership.
“We’re up to about 125 members, which forus, is a lot,” said Rose-Hockert, who noted theeffect is considerable considering the changewas only made in the last year. “Our member-ship has grown very quickly in the past year and
we expect it to increase even more this year.”Having a stronger partnering organization
like the WRBTC is something that will ultimate-ly help give the NCCC “the capacity to do effec-tive government affairs” and “engage in eco-nomic development and marketing” to reallyvalue and service to its members, said Douglas.
“It’s also important to have strong communi-ty chambers and associations who do what theydo, focusing on the localized issues like market-ing, tourism services, hosting local events andservices,” added Douglas.
Under the terms of the agreement, a workingrelationship between the NCCC and WRBTCwill “enhance the availability and delivery ofbusiness support services in the Whiteface Re-gion Business and Tourism Center and simulta-neously promote economic development andexcellence in the greater North Country region.”The NCCC now gives the WRBTC full access toits available health insurance plans, representa-tion in regional economic development andgovernment affairs endeavors and inclusion inthe North Country Energy Alliance, which of-fers discounted rates on New York State Electricand Gas and National Grid, among other bene-fits.
“The information and services that are nowavailable to us and our members is absolutelyincredible,” said Rose-Hockert.
The partnership with the WRBTC is the latestfor the Plattsburgh chamber of commerce. Thefirst was with the Lake Placid-Essex County Vis-itors Bureau, now the Regional Office of Sus-tainable Tourism. Since then, the chamber hassigned agreements with chambers of commercein Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake, Ticonderoga,Schroon Lake, North Warren, Malone, IndianLake and the Adirondacks Speculator Region.
“We are now one of the four largest businessassociations in the State of New York,” saidDouglas. “I think we have a nice family now thattakes us to where we want to be in terms ofbringing the business community togetherwithin that economic region.”
Garry F. Douglas, president of the North Country Chamber of Commerce, and Susan Rose-Hockert, president of the White-face Region Business and Tourism Center, sign a partnership agreement between the two organizations during a meetingat the Adirondack Holiday Lodge in Wilmington Jan. 27. The two were joined, in back, from left, by NCCC board memberRobert Frenyea and WRBTC board members Roy Holzer, John Letourneau, Joyce Terry and Bill Waldy.

PLATTSBURGH — The North Country Chamber of Com-merce has named Michelle Menard of Casella/Northern San-itation its 2010 Volunteer of the Year.
Menard was honored during the chamber ’s annual dinnerJan. 28 at the West Side Ballroom. She was recognized for be-ing a volunteer for the chamber as a board member since 2007who has also devoted “countless hours” to many organiza-tions in the community including the Foundation of CVPH,Plattsburgh Lions Club, and Plattsburgh Elks Lodge, amongothers.
“Michelle is the most compassionate and generous person Iknow,” said chamber vice president Jody Parks. “She is alwaysthe first person to offer help in any situation and she truly cares
about the people in our community.”“Her positive attitude is contagious and without even
knowing it, she motivates others to get involved as well,” sheadded.
Whether it is organizing the Polar Plunge, raising moneyfor countless organizations, or supporting visionary projectslike the Destination Master Plan, Menard’s “energy, enthusi-asm and skill are unsurpassed,” said Parks.
“This was just one of the most remarkable times in my life,”said Menard. “I’m just shocked. I’m very proud to be part ofthis community.”
The presentation was bittersweet as it was also one of thelast functions Menard will attend locally for some time as she
and her husband, Kevin, are moving to Port Orange, Fla.,where they will be closer to her mother and brother.
“We’re going to be coming back to the community to visit.It’s been a tough decision, but it’s at a time when I’m neededby my family. We hope to be back.”
“Shelly has made a huge difference in the lives of so manypeople in the North Country,” said Parks. “We wish her thebest of luck in her new community.”
In addition to Menard, the chamber recognized the follow-ing: Business of the Year — PrimeLink; Business Person of theYear — Terry Meron; Small Business of the Year — Arnie’sRestaurant; Economic Development Partner — William Farber,Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman.

The loaders were part of a $950,000 bondproposition, along with other equipment, thatwas debated by supervisors. The resolution made its way out ofthe committee by a 13-5 vote and will be brought up for a final voteat the Feb. 4 county board meeting.
“I don’t think that we should do this because we are askingeveryone to cut back in their budgets and this seems off that weare getting four new loaders,” Willsboro supervisor Ed Hatch said.“The county highway department makes up 35-percent of theamount to be raised by taxes, and we should be looking at them tosee how they can cut back because we have a lot of duplication be-tween the towns and the county.”
Westport supervisor Daniel Connell said he wished the requestwould have been made while preparing the 2011 budget.
“I’m conflicted because I feel we should have put this into thebudget,” Connell said. “I know that we really need to buy equip-ment, but we should have thought this out during the budgetprocess.”
Keene supervisor William Ferebee, who oversees the DPW, saidhe agreed with the move to replace the loaders partially for the re-turn on investment.
“The trucks should all be driven until they are run into theground, but if we can make a move and recoup some of the costfrom the loaders while they still have a high resale value, then weshould do this,” Ferebee said.
DPW head Anthony LaVigne told supervisorsthe DPW currently has three loaders that are as-signed to road crews, one at the county garage andanother at the county gravel pit in Moriah.
St. Armand supervisor Joyce Morency said shewould support the resolution because she felt theDPW is stretched out financially as is.
“The first person that is always asked to cut inthe budget is the DPW,” Morency said. “Repairscost a fortune, so I am going to support this be-cause these machines also provide for our towns
as well as the county.”Moriah supervisor Tom Scozzafava wondered if the loaders
should stay in the county’s hands for more time.“The more we talk about this, the harder it gets for me to sup-
port this because if these loaders are in such great shape, then whyare we looking at replacing them?”
County Manager Daniel Palmer said the loaders were up for re-sale now because after five years in service, which they are enter-ing into, they start to lose resale value, making now the best timeto look for replacements and to trade the current set.
“If the department head says that we need new equipment, thenI don’t see why we shouldn’t follow that recommendation,” NorthElba supervisor and county vice-chairman Robert Politi said.
Scozzafava brought up the notion of using fund balance to payfor the new equipment, but Palmer said the county should hold onto its funds as he was concerned rainy days were ahead.
“You may need it to add to the general fund if we are dealingwith a property tax cap like the governor is proposing,” Palmersaid. “You have to be very careful right now with how you use thatfund balance.”
The full county board will meet Friday, Feb. 4, at 10 a.m. in theold county courthouse. There will be no other committee meetingsthroughout the month of February as supervisors will be attend-ing several conferences on town and county matters.
MALONE — The Franklin County Boardof Legislators is investigating the pros andcons of hiring a lobbyist to help the countysecure federal funds for economic initia-tives.
A representative from Murray, Mont-gomery and O’Donnell — a legislative ad-vocacy firm based in Washington, D.C. —visited with lawmakers in Malone lastweek.
Kyriakos Pagonis told legislators his firmcan develop relationships with insiders atfederal agencies like the Department of En-ergy or the Department of Housing and Ur-ban Development.
Those partnerships, Pagonis said, can in-crease the likelihood that county grants willbe approved.
Franklin County Manager James Feeleysaid the board is looking to see if there ishelp available at the federal level to main-tain vital services that may otherwise belost to state funding costs.
He said a lobbyist could also help over-come regulatory and bureaucratic obstaclesin Washington.
Pagonis met with lawmakers last weekat the urging of Tim Burpoe, who representsFranklin County Legislative District 7.
Burpoe has taken some heat for suggest-ing that the county investigate hiring a leg-islative advocacy firm.
Burpoe said a good legislator shouldseek more information on initiatives thatcould benefit the taxpayer.
“We haven’t decided whether we’re go-ing to do it or not,” he said. “But I’d like toget as much information as possible so myfellow legislators can make an informed de-cision.”
James Feeley said a stronger voice inWashington could help the county when itcomes to gaining radio frequencies fromCanada to improve the Enhanced 911 sys-tem.
He said a lobbyist could also help gainwaivers for programmatic expenses, likethe 53-11 program that finances the capitalacquisition of buses for public transporta-tion.
“That involves 80 percent federal fund-ing and a 20 percent county share,” Feeleyexplained. “If we could persuade regula-tors that Franklin County – because of itssocioeconomic situation – should have itsportion waived, that would maintain a vi-tal county service and drive down costs.”
Feeley said projects like Patriot Hills atSaranac Lake could also benefit from a lob-bying firm. But he notes that the county hasmade no decision and is merely investigat-ing.
Burpoe said it’s worth learning the prosand cons of utilizing a lobbying firm.
“If we have to spend $40,000 on a lobby-ist, but we generate $1 million in grants orfunding, is it worth it?” he said. “Would itbe worth it for $500,000? For $100,000?Those are the questions we should be ask-ing and assessing whether or not we wantto take that chance.”
Burpoe said the county will entertainRFPs from legislative advocacy groups inorder to ascertain how much it would costto hire a lobbying firm.

known as Rutland Way in the town of Clinton at about 10:50 a.m.Saturday. Plattsburgh-based state police said 34-year-old MichelleL. Wells of Champlain and 40-year-old Stephen J. Harris weretransported to the CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh and treat-ed for their injuries.
PLATTSBURGH — Furtherexpansion at Plattsburgh’sbustling International Air-port is moving closer to reali-ty.
Deputy county administra-tor Rodney L. Brown said afeasibility study approved bythe Federal Aviation Admin-istration (FAA) is near com-pletion which will determineif the projected number ofpassengers over the next 20years will warrant an expan-sion of the airport terminaland its services. The study,which has been conductedover the last eight months, re-vealed the number of peoplewho use the airport hasgrown steadily over the pastthree years. This year, morethan 100,000 people are esti-mated to use the facility.
“The forecast more thandoubles our enplanements inthe next five years alone,”Brown said.
Though the study is not yetcomplete, the Clinton CountyLegislature is comfortable theresults will be in favor of ex-panding the facility, Brownsaid, and has enlisted theservices of engineering firm
McFarland Johnson of Bing-hamton. The firm is currentlydrawing up preliminaryplans, which, as Brown stat-ed, is more difficult thanbuilding a terminal “fromscratch.”
“Because, now you haveoperations going on that aregoing to be disrupted,”Brown said. “And, you wantto make sure whoever is go-ing to be doing this designand overseeing the construc-tion has enough expertise tomake sure that the disruptionis going to be minimized tothe greatest extent possible.
The improvement projectwould expand the baggagecarousel system, increase thenumber of Transportation Se-curity Administration check-points from one to at leastthree, and roughly quadruplethe number of ticket counters,of which there are currentlythree. The project would alsoadd an additional jet bridge tohelp with the loading and un-loading of passengers.
“We’re having a problemnow when we’re getting twoor three flights in at the sametime that we can’t unload,”said County LegislatorRobert W. Heins, R-Area 10,who chairs the county airport
committee.Heins added having one
TSA checkpoint doesn’t helpmatters either.
“That gets to be a prob-lem,” he said.
Ultimately, plans will be in-fluenced by the finals resultsof the study as the county willneed to work with the FAA forboth the design and how theproject will be paid for, Brownsaid. The county alreadycharges a $4.50 facility fee perpassenger flying out of Platts-burgh International, headded, and receives federalfunding — known as “entitle-ment money” — for havingmore than 10,000 passengersa year. Both, in addition to air-port parking fees that will be-
gin March 1, could help incovering the cost of the ex-pansion, which is expected tobe anywhere between $10 and$20 million, said Brown.
The county will move for-ward with formal designplans once results of the fea-sibility study are in hand,Brown said. That process,which will include a requiredenvironmental impact assess-ment, will take the remainderof the year, depending onFAA approval, he added.Construction would likelytake another year.
“We’re probably looking atthe beginning of 2013,”Brown said of the earliest anexpansion could be complet-ed.
Plattsburgh International poised for expansionStudy to determine need almost complete
Plattsburgh International Airport could see an expansion project thatcould begin as early as next year.
LAKE CHAMPLAIN — The Adiron-dack Local Government Review Boardunanimously passed a resolution lastweek opposing the impending state pur-chase of some 75,000 acres of Adirondackland from a conservation group.
According to the resolution, the stateintends to purchase more than 65,000acres of former Finch Pruyn timberlandsand about 15,000 acres of land in the Fol-lensby Pond area from the AdirondackChapter of the Nature Conservancy.
Last week’s resolution states that thereview board opposes the fee acquisitionof the lands in question.
It also urges the state Adirondack ParkAgency to remain compliant with theState Land Master Plan by recommend-ing against the state Department of En-vironmental Conservation’s potentialfee purchase of what review board offi-
Executive director of the AdirondackLocal Government Review Board, FredMonroe, said Gov. Andrew Cuomoshould commission a study on the eco-nomic and social impacts of further stateland acquisitions inside the Blue Line.
Monroe said the state’s current fiscalcrisis is a good argument against pur-chasing more land.
“We know the state is experiencinghorrible budget problems – there areplans to cut back on Medicaid, welfare,education, and we just paid $30 millionout of the taxpayers’ pocket to purchasea conservation easement on the remain-ing Finch lands,” he said. “That hap-pened on the same day that Gov. Cuomoreaffirmed layoffs for 900 state employ-ees – and there’s now talk about layingoff another 15,000.”
The review board resolution citesnumbers released by DEC Lands & For-est Director Rob Davies, which state that
working forests support three forestry-related jobs for every 1,000 acres of pro-ductive forest lands.
Additionally, Davies reports that 1,000acres of productive forest lands supportless than one tourism-related job.
Monroe said now is not the time tospend more than $40 million, claimingthat such a purchase would put NorthCountry residents out of work.
“We know that’s what is going to hap-pen, when you take that working forestand make it a non-working forest,” hesaid.
For his part, Monroe said members ofthe review board have met with Gov.Cuomo’s environmental secretary re-garding last week’s resolution.
Cuomo’s budget will be unveiled to-day. Monroe says that if the new gover-nor is serious about getting New York’sfiscal house in order, he should considercalling for an in-depth study into thepurchasing of land in the AdirondackPark.

Defayette finds unique way to deal with breast cancer diagnosisBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]
PLATTSBURGH — When lifehands some people lemons, theymake lemonade. When life handedMelanie Defayette cancer, she madethe most of it.
The 44-year-old Cadyville womanwas recently diagnosed with breastcancer, but rather than let her condi-tion get her down, she decided toturn a negative into a positive.
Defayette’s story began last No-vember when she found somethingwas awry before she traveled to thenational soccer competition with theClinton Community CollegeWomen’s Soccer Team, for which sheserves as assistant coach.
“It was two days before we left,actually,” she said. “When we gotback, I was officially diagnosed.”
That’s when reality began to setin, said Defayette. Though her prog-nosis was that the cancer was caughtearly enough to likely be defeatedwith rounds of chemotherapy andradiation, it was still difficult toshare her news with friends, familyand co-workers.
“When it came time to tell the peo-ple at work, it was so hard,” said De-fayette, who works at the Town ofPlattsburgh Offices, serving as head
of the recreation department. “Itwas shocking, upsetting ... I keptthink that there had to be a betterway to deal with this. I’m a recre-ation director for crying out loud. Iwanted to figure out how we couldmake something fun out of this.”
And, all it took was an off-the-cuffremark to deputy town clerk MegLefevre that the office should have apool, betting on when Defayettewould lose her hair.
“I thought how much more funcould it be than people betting onwhen I would lose my hair,” said De-fayette.
“When Mel told everyone [abouther cancer], it was sort of an awk-ward situation and you can tell shedidn’t want to talk about it,” saidLefevre. “I think the initial sugges-tion for the pool was a way to alle-viate the awkwardness of it. It end-ed up being a really good idea.”
Defayette said the whole atmos-phere of her workplace “justchanged” with the beginning of thepool and almost daily updates onher hair loss — or lack thereof so far.And, it’s been a change for the bet-ter.
“People are coming in now givingmy hair a tug joking about if it’sstarting to go yet,” she said. “It’s ac-tually an indirect way for them tocheck up on me, but in a way that
keeps the humor in it.”The pool has even received sup-
port and participation from her fam-ily, said Defayette.
“They immediately jumped onboard, seeing the humor in it,” saidDefayette. “One of my brothers saidthat if you’ve ever seen my hair,you’d need a brush hog to go getthrough it, that I was never going tolose it. It’s just hilarious reading thee-mails that have been goingaround.”
“One of my brothers threatenedanother that he was going to putNair in my shampoo,” she added, re-ferring to the hair removal cream,“because he’s just that competitive.It’s been such a funny thing.”
The initial plan was just to have asmall pool among the town depart-ments with a winner-take-all sce-nario. However, when more andmore people got involved, Defayetteknew something really good couldbe done with the money — donating
it to the CVPH Fitzpatrick CancerCenter ’s Treasure Chests BreastCancer Support Group.
The most recent counts showmore than 50 people have donatedto the pool, totaling $600.
“It’s gotten really big,” saidLeFevre. “This is going to be able tohelp a lot of people.”
Town Supervisor Bernard C. Bas-sett commended Defayette for own-ing her situation and finding a wayfor others to offer their support in away that everyone could find humorin, he said.
“While working together to sup-port Mel, we have also found a wayto bring attention to breast cancerand to help make a difference,” saidBassett, who added he’s been moremotivated with each e-mail updatehe receives from Lefevre. “I’mpleased that we are able to respondand do our part to help Mel and oth-ers who are dealing with this dread-ed disease.”
Though she views her cancer as a“major speed bump,” she said it’sone she’s glad she’s going throughduring a time of year when thingsare typically slower for the recre-ation department.
“If I’m going to go through this,this is good time of year to do it,” shesaid, laughing.
Town of Plattsburgh recreation director Melanie Defayette, seated, and deputy townclerk Meg Lefevre, at left, have developed a pool that has people betting on when De-fayette will lose her hair from chemotherapy treatments. Proceeds will benefit theCVPH Fitzpatrick Cancer Center’s Treasure Chests Breast Cancer Support Group.

PLATTSBURGH — The nameLavinia Bell may not be as commonas, say, Harriet Tubman or FrederickDouglass, but her story is just as im-portant.
According to North Country Un-derground Railroad Historical Asso-ciation president Don Papson, Bellwas a slave who escaped to freedomin Canada, passing through RousesPoint as she did so.
“She was born a free person inWashington D.C. and when she wasa child she was kidnapped and soldinto slavery,” explained Papson.“Her story is really pretty awful be-cause the man who owned her wasextremely cruel.”
Papson added Bell tried to escapeat one point with her husband, butwere caught and he was beat todeath. At the time however, Bell waspregnant.
“She ran away again and she waspregnant and she gave birth to twinsand one of the babies died,” he ex-plained, adding she was caughtagain after that.
“Then she ran away again. Her sonwas taken away from her,” said Pap-son. “What is interesting, is every
time she ran away, the man whoowned her punished her more se-verely than he had before.”
According to Papson, the wife ofBell’s owner said “You need to followthe Northern Star or he’s going to killyou.”
From Texas, where Bell had beenenslaved, she traveled the country fi-nally making it to Rouses Point in thewinter of 1861. There she met a manwho helped her across the borderinto Montreal and brought her to arefugee family.
“She was extremely ill and so theycalled a doctor in and her story wason the front page of the newspapersin Montreal,” said Papson. “That’show we know the story.”
The story will now be reenacted forthe public Friday, Feb. 11, at 7 p.m. atthe State University of New York atPlattsburgh’s Krinovitz Recital Hallin Hawkins Hall. Actress MelissaWaddy-Thibodeaux, who has por-trayed Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubmanand Sojourner Truth, will play Bell inthe world premier of “Never GiveUp: The Story of Lavinia Bell.”
Waddy-Thibodeaux first got incontact with Papson in 2009 after sheheard NCUGRHA got the NationalPark Service to recognize the oldsteam boat landing in Rouses Point
as an Underground Railroad site. Thelocation is now where the Sports-man’s Club is now located.
Papson and Waddy-Thibodeauxdecided to collaborate and haveWaddy-Thibodeaux write the playbased on the historical informationNCUGRHA was able to dig up.
“It’s really one of our great storiesfor the Champlain line of the Under-ground Railroad,” said Papson.“This is the most powerful story thatwe have of anyone that we know ofthat escaped through our area toCanada and it is an example of thegood will on the part of the people uphere.”
Waddy-Thibodeaux will also be of-fering performance workshops forstudents at the SUNY Plattsburghand Clinton Community Collegeduring her stay. On Feb. 12, she willbe performing at the Negro Commu-nity Center in Montreal.
For more information, contact Pap-son at 561-0277 or e-mail [email protected].
“This is a universal story,” saidPapson. “No matter who is op-pressed and where they are op-pressed, a person will try to go wherethey can to live a better life. That’swhat she did, and people up herehelped her.”

Runningfor a cureLocal track coach raisingdonations for Leukemiaand Lymphoma Society By Sarah L. [email protected]
SARANAC — One local track coach isusing his love of running to help raisemoney for the Leukemia and LymphomaSociety.
Saranac Central School’s assistant trackcoach Matt Medeiros is planning to takepart in the Dodge Rock ‘n’ Roll San DiegoHalf Marathon June 5, in San Diego, Calif.,and raise at least $2,500 for the society.
“I’ve been getting brochures from thesociety for about five years now,” said Medeiros. “I’ve always won-dered what they were and my dad kind of told me that you fundraisesome money and they’ll pay for you to go do an event.”
Medeiros explained out of the various events happening acrossthe country in June for the society, he chose the half marathon as apart of a goal he set for himself.
“My ultimate goal this year was to run a half marathon everymonth in preparation for my first full marathon next year,” he said.
In addition, Medeiros likes the thought of working toward hisgoal while helping a cause.
“I’ve lost relatives to cancer and I actuallyhave two relatives right now fighting cancer,”he explained. “It’s a cause that I think needsto be aided with some type of fundraising.”
Medeiros hopes the community will helphis cause — as they did four years ago.
In April 2007, Medeiros earned the oppor-tunity to be a part of Team USA at the AtlasSnowshoes World Snowshoe Championships.
“I was able to raise $3,500 in just threeweeks. Just from community support,”Medeiros said. “And that was just for me togo over and accomplish a dream that I’ve hadfor a long long time. Now this is for a greatcause. I’d like to get the community behindme again.”
“I think I can get the community behind me,not just runners, but people who are fightingcancer themselves or have family members orfriends who are fighting cancer,” he added.
If Medeiros reaches his goal and attends thehalf marathon in San Diego, he is going tohave a T-shirt made especially for the event.
“If somebody wants me to run in memoryor in honor of somebody who has died, I’dlike to get a list of people and the week beforeI go, go down and get the names screened onthe back,” he said. “In memory of, in honor
of, that type of thing.”To have a name put on the T-shirt, Medeiros is asking for people
to give a $30-40 donation.If interested in giving a donation in Medeiros’ name, visit
www.teamintraining.org, search for Medeiros’ name and follow theinstructions. Medeiros is also accepting checks that he will submithimself. Send checks to 131 Ganong Dr., Saranac N.Y. 12981.
“I’m all about giving back to charity funds,” Medeiros said. “It’sdefinitely going to make the world better. Whether it’s locally, orglobally.”

were contacted by Clinton County Highway De-partment personnel after a fire was discovered atBrousseau’s residence.
Responding fire departments entered the resi-dence and discovered Brousseau lying on the floor.He was evacuated from the house, but was founddeceased.
Clinton County Coroner David F. Donah re-sponded to the scene, officially declaring his timeof death at 4:15 p.m. Brousseau was transported toCVPH Medical Center, Plattsburgh, by Brown Fu-neral Home where an autopsy was scheduled to beperformed Feb. 1.
The home was declared a total loss. Martha Burns, a neighbor of Brousseau for 22
years, said when she heard word of his death shewas “flabbergasted.”
“I didn’t hear about it until I got home fromwork. I didn’t believe it,” she said.
Burns said she wasn’t close to Brousseau, but re-members watching him working in his garden,mowing the lawn or haying the fields.
“Every time I saw him I waved. He alwayswaved back. He was very friendly,” she said. “It’sreally too bad.”
Burns said she knew Brousseau, a retired correc-tional officer from the Clinton Correctional Facili-ty in Dannemora, lived at the residence alone af-ter his wife, Gladys M., passed away last April.Burns added she remembers Brousseau visited hiswife regularly at Meadowbrook Healthcare inPlattsburgh, the nursing home where she resideduntil her death.
Another of Brousseau’s neighbors, who askednot to be identified, knew little about him, butcalled news of his death “tragic.”“I would be walking and see him on his porchreading his paper,” the neighbor said, adding shehad no interaction with him beyond that.
Clinton County fire investigators and state po-lice have launched a joint investigation to deter-mine the cause and origin of the fire.

TrainingFrom page 4ditions covered by the conference. “That’s why we’ve triedto go from one end of the spectrum to the next and backagain.”
Though the Morrisonville department, like many others,mainly deals with calls relating to cardiac and diabetes-re-lated issues, said Faus, it’s important to know more aboutthe increasing variety of special needs cases.
“We get a call maybe once every four or five months fora patient who’s autistic or who has maybe a feeding tubeproblem,” said Faus. “If we can learn something here, thenmaybe they don’t need to go to the hospital; maybe it’ssomething we can fix with the crew we have on the ambu-lance. This can only improve the quality of care we give.”
Having grown up with an uncle with mental retardation,Faus said he understands the importance of becoming fa-miliar with the health challenges faced by a person with spe-cial needs.
“We shouldn’t have to be scared about dealing with thisparticular clientele, especially. We need to have a better un-derstanding of what they go through,” he said.
This year ’s conference, held at the Keeseville Volunteer
Fire Department Jan. 29, drew more than 70 people from de-partments across the region. Many have attended the eventsince its inception.
“We’ve been to every one they’ve offered,” said Jerry Du-mas, first assistant chief with Bangor Volunteer Fire Depart-ment and EMS. “It’s a great opportunity for us because youdon’t get a lot of this style training to help the special needspopulation.”
Dumas said he has seen an increase in the number of peo-ple in the region with varying special needs, which leads toa need for a better understanding of their medical and be-havioral conditions.
“It takes a lot of special knowledge and special consider-ations because we’re basically the first line of medical treat-ment for whatever the particular issue may be,” said Du-mas. “The better interaction we can have with those indi-viduals from the onset is going to make for a better experi-ence across the board.”
Nelly Stipdonk, an EMS educator at John Abbott Collegein Montreal, Que., and member stateside in the Saranac Vol-unteer Fire Department, agreed.
“On a daily basis, we come in contact with patients whoare either hearing-impaired or who have other specialneeds,” said Stipdonk. “I think special needs are something
we absolutely need to become familiar with and understandand accept.”
In her native Quebec, Stipdonk said having that under-standing is even more important due to the considerablyhigher amount of non-life-threatening calls to which depart-ments there respond.
“There’s a trend in our health care system that says we’regoing to be doing more and more house calls and caring forpeople in a different capacity than emergencies,” she said.“Our role is becoming much more focused on the supportand hand-holding side of caring for patients ... That’s whythis training is very important.”
Todd M. Castine, director of clinical services for the Clin-ton County Advocacy and Resource Center in Plattsburgh,spoke during the conference and said the training is impor-tant to people with special needs, their families and theemergency responders alike.
“The more [emergency responders] know ahead of timeabout how to effectively interact with our folks, the morethe comfort level increases and they’re able to provide bet-ter care,” said Castine. “The biggest thing to know is ourfolks are no different than anyone else, it’s just that theyhave some additional needs. And, if you know about them,then it’s easier to help them.”
