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.

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 for

start-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 andwe expect it to increase even more this year.”

Having a stronger partnering organizationlike 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.”

Todd M. Castine, director of clinical services for the Clinton County Advocacy and Resource Center in Platts-burgh, addressed the annual Patients with Special Needs Conference held this year at the Keeseville Volun-teer Fire Department Jan. 29.


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 trainingBByy JJeerreemmiiaahh SS.. [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

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.

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.

Tech Talk By Ron Poland

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.

We are mid-winterbut, so far, thegood news is that

we are not knee-deep in snow! Ithas been another winter withlimited snow storms that havemostly gone to the south andeast of the Champlain Valley.Depending on your perspectivethis could be good or bad newsbut it has made travel and theexpense of managing snow cov-ered roads more bearable.

This January, we continued towork with many projects thathave been in the works and con-tinue to move forward as well as new ones in themaking. Though sales tax was down in 2010 thetown anticipated a flat situation and budget ac-cordingly. I’m pleased to report our sales tax rev-enue for 2010 will meet our budgeted values.

This year, we must focus on future infrastruc-ture needs and plan now for those expenses. Thesuccess of the town is based on a number of fac-tors including our ability to provide public wa-ter, sewer, natural gas, fiber, etc. for home own-ers and business. Development and investmentprovides the tax base to help keep services af-fordable and provide new jobs. This year, wewill begin to develop a number of plans to sys-temically address our operational needs and

avoid unanticipated improve-ments with costs that were notbudgeted for.

In February, we will welcomeScott Stoddard, our new WWWdirector. I’m excited about theskills and expertise he will bringto that very important depart-ment. With the completion of theComprehensive Master Plan, wewill begin to work on our zoningand zoning codes. Given the cur-rent trends and the vision setdown by the master plan, it is im-portant to revisit our currentzoning and make adjustments

where appropriate. We must begin to anticipatean increased demand for housing that is expect-ed to be stimulated by the Laurentian project. Wecontinue to have conversations with others whohave become interested in the town as a place forthem to invest and do business.

I am more than optimistic 2011 will be the be-ginning of economic stability and a period ofgrowth and development. So, let’s continue tofocus our energy on the really important issuesand work hard to find our place in the new econ-omy.

Bernie Bassett is supervisor of the town of Platts-burgh.

It is now the New Yearand January broughtwith it frigid weather

and small but consistent snowstorms! Below zero tempera-tures have caused brokenpipes and icy conditions. Theonly consolation is we are get-ting closer to spring everyday!

The Eastern SnocrossSnowmobile event at theCrete Center drew over 4,000people. Local hotels andrestaurants all benefittedfrom the many visitors andparticipants. Mike Perrotte, Steve Fuller, and allthe Airborne Speedway staff did an outstand-ing job promoting and running the event andcity departments and staff were excellent intheir efforts as well. I was visited in City Hallby Dr. Tom Mandeville’s government classwhich is always enjoyable and interesting. Ivolunteered with many wonderful people onMartin Luther King Day to clean the TrinityChurch Soup Kitchen. We have begun workingon the 2011 Mayor ’s Cup & Regatta. Plans arelooking very interesting and will ne announcedvery soon. Once again, the city of Plattsburghand Sunrise Rotary will partner on this yearly

event. I met with Michele Powersfrom the Chamber of Commerceto discuss possible events in 2011.

The Common Council passedthe 2011 city budget. With the $11billion deficit New York State andGovernor Cuomo is facing, I be-lieve the council budget was re-sponsible. The 2012 budgetprocess will be very difficult asthe city will be directly affected bythe decisions made in Albany.Governor Cuomo will be an-nouncing his budget in early Feb-ruary which will have a dramaticaffect on all of New York State.Councilor Jim Calnon and I inter-

viewed a number of individuals for the asses-sor position. All the candidates were very goodand our decision will be made very soon. Myoffice continues to field the many constituentquestions and concerns on a daily basis.

The city of Plattsburgh continues to deal withthe many financial challenges in this strugglingeconomy. We are all hopeful the LaurentianAerospace news will be positive as this willhelp the region tremendously. Until then, how-ever, we will do our best to provide the impor-tant services our constituents expect and de-serve.

Man founddead inhouse fire Edward Brousseau remembered asa ‘friendly’ manBByy JJeerreemmiiaahh SS.. [email protected]

SCHUYLER FALLS — An elderly manwas found dead inside his Peasleeville Roadhome during a house fire Jan. 31.

According to state police, Edward A.Brousseau, 82, was evacuated from his homeat 1824 Peasleeville Road after emergencypersonnel responded to a call that came intoClinton County Fire Control at 2:41 p.m.Emergency dispatchers were contacted byClinton County Highway Department per-sonnel after a fire was discovered atBrousseau’s residence.

Responding fire departments entered theresidence and discovered Brousseau lyingon the floor. He was evacuated from thehouse, but was found deceased.

Clinton County Coroner David F. Donah

responded to the scene, officially declaringhis time of death at 4:15 p.m. Brousseau wastransported to CVPH Medical Center,Plattsburgh, by Brown Funeral Homewhere an autopsy was scheduled to be per-formed Feb. 1.

The home was declared a total loss. Martha Burns, a neighbor of Brousseau

for 22 years, said when she heard word ofhis death she was “flabbergasted.”

“I didn’t hear about it until I got homeform work. I didn’t believe it,” she said.

Burns said she wasn’t close to Brousseau,but remembers watching him working in hisgarden, mowing the lawn or haying thefields.

“Every time I saw him I waved. He alwayswaved back. He was very friendly,” shesaid. “It’s really too bad.”

Burns said she knew Brousseau, a retiredcorrectional officer from the Clinton Correc-tional Facility in Dannemora, lived at theresidence alone after his wife, Gladys M.,passed away last April. Burns added she re-members Brousseau visited his wife regu-larly at Meadowbrook Healthcare in Platts-burgh, the nursing home where she resideduntil her death.

Another of Brousseau’s neighbors, whoasked not to be identified, knew little abouthim, but called news of his death “tragic.”

“I would be walking and see him on hisporch reading his paper,” the neighbor said,adding she had no interaction with him be-yond that.

Clinton County fire investigators andstate police have launched a joint investiga-tion to determine the cause and origin of thefire.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Whether the price tagor the timing, some supervisors questioned a res-olution to bond for the replacement of four load-ers for the Department of Public Works duringthe Essex County’s Ways and Means committeemeeting Jan. 31.

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.

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.

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-

cials call – quote – “highly productivetimberland.”

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.

VERMONT (802)


PLATTSBURGH — The temperatureshave been dipping below freezing and thatmeans it’s time for the Plattsburgh Noon Ki-wanis Club’s annual K-Melt.

The event is an important fundraiser forKiwanians, said club president Tim Kramer,which involves members placing a large,steel “K” on the frozen pond at CVPH Med-ical Center. The club sells tickets at $5 apiece and people write down the day, hour,minute and second they think the K will fallthrough.

“It’s something the club has done for along time,” said club president Tim Kramer.“We partner with the Foundation of CVPHto award $1,000 to the contestant who guess-es the time closest to when the K fallsthrough the ice.”

The club then donates $1,000 to the foun-dation’s fund for those who need to travelto hospitals other than CVPH for services.The remainder of the money is used by theclub for its various community service proj-ects.

“Our main focus is the community, help-ing children and senior citizens or if some-

body suffers a natural disaster and needssomething — whatever it is. We try to helppeople,” said member Wolf Mattes.

“One hundred percent of the money thatis donated goes to charity,” said memberFrank Sklenarik. “We don’t use any of it onourselves.”

The most frequently asked question bypeople purchasing guesses for $5 each is“When did it fall through last year,” saidKramer.

“Typically, it falls through the last weekof March or the first week of April,” he said.“Last year, however, it went through earli-er. I believe it went through the secondweek of March, which is unusual.”

Chances are sold at the Foundation ofCVPH office on the CVPH campus, and out-side the hospital cafeteria during Fridaylunch hours until mid-March. PlattsburghNoon Kiwanis Club members also havechances available for sale.

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.”

Melissa Waddy-Thibodeaux portrays Rosa Parks at Fort Riley, Kansas.Waddy-Thibodeaux will now be portraying Lavinia Bell, a slave whoescaped the south through our region.

Local track coachraising donationsfor Leukemia andLymphoma Society By Sarah L. [email protected]

SARANAC — One local trackcoach is using his love of run-ning to help raise money for theLeukemia and Lymphoma Soci-ety.

Saranac Central School’s as-sistant track coach MattMedeiros is planning to takepart in the Dodge Rock ‘n’ RollSan Diego Half Marathon June5, in San Diego, Calif., and raiseat least $2,500 for the society.

“I’ve been getting brochuresfrom the society for about fiveyears now,” said Medeiros.“I’ve always wondered whatthey were and my dad kind oftold me that you fundraise somemoney and they’ll pay for youto go do an event.”

Medeiros explained out of thevarious events happeningacross the country in June forthe society, he chose the halfmarathon as a part of a goal heset for himself.

“My ultimate goal this yearwas to run a half marathonevery month in preparation formy first full marathon nextyear,” he said.

In addition, Medeiros likesthe thought of working toward

his goal while helping a cause.“I’ve lost relatives to cancer

and I actually have two relativesright now fighting cancer,” heexplained. “It’s a cause that Ithink needs to be aided withsome type of fundraising.”

Medeiros hopes the commu-nity will help his cause — asthey did four years ago.

In April 2007, Medeirosearned the opportunity to be apart of Team USA at the AtlasSnowshoes World SnowshoeChampionships.

“I was able to raise $3,500 injust three weeks. Just from com-munity support,” Medeirossaid. “And that was just for meto go over and accomplish adream that I’ve had for a longlong time. Now this is for a greatcause. I’d like to get the commu-nity behind me again.”

“I think I can get the commu-nity behind me, not just run-ners, but people who are fight-ing cancer themselves or havefamily members or friends whoare fighting cancer,” he added.

If Medeiros reaches his goaland attends the half marathonin San Diego, he is going to havea T-shirt made especially for theevent.

“If somebody wants me to runin memory or in honor of some-body who has died, I’d like toget a list of people and the weekbefore I go, go down and get thenames screened on the back,”he said. “In memory of, in hon-or of, that type of thing.”

To have a name put on the T-shirt, Medeiros is asking forpeople to give a $30-40 dona-tion.

If interested in giving a dona-tion in Medeiros’ name, visitwww.teamintraining.org,search for Medeiros’ name andfollow the instructions.

Medeiros is also acceptingchecks that he will submit him-self. Send checks to 131 GanongDr., Saranac N.Y. 12981.

“I’m all about giving back tocharity funds,” Medeiros said.“It’s definitely going to makethe world better. Whether it’slocally, or globally.”

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. — The roots of Jatobarun deep.

The acoustic trio — consisting of JeffRichardson on the double bass; Jason Scaggson guitar, baritone guitar and banjo; andJohn Jamison on guitar, mandolin and sitar— formed in 2008 after a band Scaggs andJamison were in broke up, said Jamison.

“Jason and I continued playing as a duo forabout six months when we realized thatadding an upright bass would work reallywell with what we were doing,” he said.

The two had been tossing around the ideaof asking Richardson to join, so, they even-tually did.

“Thus Jatoba was formed,” said Jamison.The band’s name stands for “a super old

Brazilian hardwood tree with deep runningroots,” explained Scaggs.

“John and I have been playing music to-gether for over a decade and when we cameacross the name we felt it had meaning,” hesaid. “It’s a good obscure name to answer theorigin of the name many times over as well.”

The band’s sound today consists largely of

a “fast bluegrass beat,” said Richardson,though the three integrate several other mu-sical aspects into their music. However, inthe early days of Jatoba, they weren’t play-ing bluegrass at all, with the instrumentationof the band responsible for leading themdown that road “pretty quickly,” he added.

“Improvisation dominates our live shows,which makes it even more fun for us to play,”said Richardson, who plays “an aggressiveslap/rockabilly style of bass.”

That, combined with “extremely rhyth-mic” guitar playing and beat-boxing byScaggs and Jamison’s “unconventional” ef-fects on his guitar — and all three on vocals— gives Jatoba its unique sound, he added.

“I think our unique sound comes from thefact that each individual of the band is ableto bring their influences to the table,” saidJamison. “We all come from drastically dif-ferent musical backgrounds, yet we have alot in common as well. And, we are able tofind the balance of all these influences with-in our own musical expressions.”

Jatoba’s first performance was at theMonopole, giving them their first taste ofhow their music would be received by peo-ple in the Plattsburgh area.

“I remember at one of our first shows there

weren’t that many people there at first,” re-called Jamison, “but as the night progressed,the room began to fill up and the energy wasjust over the top.”

“They really know how to throw down inPlattsburgh and the Monopole always treatsus well,” he added.

The band has played across New Englandsince its formation and as far south as Vir-ginia. However, they can most commonly beheard in Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, andBurlington, Vt.

The band is currently working on wrap-

ping up its first studio album, “Death, Fire,and Picnic Tables,” which will be releasedsoon, said Richardson.

“We have been working on it for over ayear, and we are all really excited that it is fi-nally done,” he said. “It was a difficultprocess, but very rewarding.”

(Editor’s Note: Jatoba will perform next at theMonopole, 7 Protection Ave., next Saturday, Feb.12, beginning at 10 p.m. Check out the band’sWeb site, www.jatobamusic.net, or find them onFacebook, MySpace and Twitter for tour dates,photos, videos, and more.)

TrainingFrom page 4ditions covered by the conference. “That’swhy we’ve tried to go from one end of thespectrum to the next and back again.”

Though the Morrisonville department,like many others, mainly deals with calls re-lating to cardiac and diabetes-related issues,said Faus, it’s important to know more aboutthe increasing variety of special needs cases.

“We get a call maybe once every four orfive months for a patient who’s autistic orwho has maybe a feeding tube problem,”said Faus. “If we can learn something here,then maybe they don’t need to go to the hos-pital; maybe it’s something we can fix withthe crew we have on the ambulance. This canonly improve the quality of care we give.”

Having grown up with an uncle with men-tal retardation, Faus said he understands theimportance of becoming familiar with the

health challenges faced by a person withspecial needs.

“We shouldn’t have to be scared aboutdealing with this particular clientele, espe-cially. We need to have a better understand-ing of what they go through,” he said.

This year ’s conference, held at the Kee-seville Volunteer Fire Department Jan. 29,drew more than 70 people from departmentsacross the region. Many have attended theevent since its inception.

“We’ve been to every one they’ve of-fered,” said Jerry Dumas, first assistant chiefwith Bangor Volunteer Fire Department andEMS. “It’s a great opportunity for us becauseyou don’t get a lot of this style training tohelp the special needs population.”

Dumas said he has seen an increase in thenumber of people in the region with varyingspecial needs, which leads to a need for abetter understanding of their medical andbehavioral conditions.

“It takes a lot of special knowledge and

special considerations because we’re basi-cally the first line of medical treatment forwhatever the particular issue may be,” saidDumas. “The better interaction we can havewith those individuals from the onset is go-ing to make for a better experience across theboard.”

Nelly Stipdonk, an EMS educator at JohnAbbott College in Montreal, Que., and mem-ber stateside in the Saranac Volunteer FireDepartment, agreed.

“On a daily basis, we come in contact withpatients who are either hearing-impaired orwho have other special needs,” said Stip-donk. “I think special needs are somethingwe absolutely need to become familiar withand understand and accept.”

In her native Quebec, Stipdonk said hav-ing that understanding is even more impor-tant due to the considerably higher amountof non-life-threatening calls to which de-partments there respond.

“There’s a trend in our health care system

that says we’re going to be doing more andmore house calls and caring for people in adifferent capacity than emergencies,” shesaid. “Our role is becoming much more fo-cused on the support and hand-holding sideof caring for patients ... That’s why thistraining is very important.”

Todd M. Castine, director of clinical serv-ices for the Clinton County Advocacy andResource Center in Plattsburgh, spoke dur-ing the conference and said the training isimportant to people with special needs, theirfamilies and the emergency respondersalike.

“The more [emergency responders] knowahead of time about how to effectively inter-act with our folks, the more the comfort lev-el increases and they’re able to provide bet-ter care,” said Castine. “The biggest thing toknow is our folks are no different than any-one else, it’s just that they have some addi-tional needs. And, if you know about them,then it’s easier to help them.”
