Town of Champlain is officially storm readyCONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Champlain is first sitein northern New Yorkto earn recognition

CHAMPLAIN — The Town ofChamplain is the first Storm Readylocation in northern New York.

In fact, it joins the ranks of lessthan 2,000 Storm Ready designa-tions nationwide.

“Our primary mission is protec-tion of life and property,” said AndyNash, meteorologist-in-charge, Na-tional Weather Service, Burlington.“We are not able to stop severeweather, and that is where prepared-ness happens.”

Storm Ready is a community pre-

paredness program that encouragesgovernment entities and commercialgathering sites to prepare for severestorms. The program is sponsoredby the National Weather Service andissues recognition to locations na-tionwide that demonstrate severeweather readiness.

The voluntary program providescommunities with advice from apartnership with the NationalWeather Service and state and localemergency managers.

“We developed the Storm Readyprogram and work with communityofficials to ensure they can monitoranything we issue,” Nash said.“There is practicing and drilling incase of a disaster.”

Over the past six months, the Na-tional Weather Service has workedwith Town of Champlain officials on

CHAMPLAIN — Severaltowns have asked ClintonCounty election commis-sioners to save them moneywhen it comes to voting.

So they have respondedwith a plan that will consol-idate voting districts, reduc-ing the number from 70 to53.

The Town of Champlainrecently passed a resolutionaccepting that plan, shrink-ing the number of votingdistricts in its own area fromfour to three.

“We were looking at howwe can save towns moneyand still do our job,” said


An array of research showsreading to children helpsthem developBy Stephen [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — KurtisHagen has hundreds of chil-dren’s books for his kids.

And he takes Kai, 4, andErik, 2, to the library at leastevery other week.

“It’s nice to get them outof the house and to check outbooks for them,” said Ha-gen, of Plattsburgh.

He’s a strong proponent ofreading to children, saying ithelps prepare them forschool and assists with theirdevelopment.

He is not the only one say-ing that, with researchstrongly backing both pointshe made and much more forchildren who are read to bytheir parents or guardians.

“We’ve gone through ourentire collection, and theywant new books,” Hagensaid. “From everything Ihave read educationally, themost important thing you

can do for a child is to readto them.”

According to the NationalCenter for Education Statis-tics, 26 percent of childrenwho were read to three orfour times in the last weekby a family member recog-nized all letters of the alpha-bet, compared to 14 percentof children who were read toless frequently or not at all.

About 15 minutes beforebed time is ideal for readingto children, said Stan Ran-som, director of the Platts-burgh Public Library.

“Once you get in the habitthe child starts to take an in-terest.”

The child begins to absorbthe transition from book tospoken word and starts torecognize words such as cat,Ransom said.

The Plattsburgh Public li-brary tries to supply thefoundation for parents read-ing to children.

Children read roughly 890books at the PlattsburghPublic Library last summer.About 219 children partici-pated in the program.

Ransom recommendedbooks such as the “I Spy” se-ries, which helps childrenrecognize shapes first andthen words.

One of the library’s goalsis to introduce children toreading and books and assistparents by offering adviceon good books to read.

Ultimately, being read towill help children be moreadvanced in school and iskey to learning in all itsforms.

“It is the single most im-portant thing parents can dowith their children in theireducational advancement,”Ransom said. “There havebeen a lot of studies doneabout reading.”

Sixty percent of childrenwho were read to frequentlycount to 20 or higher, com-pared to 44 percent of thosewho were not read to fre-quently, according to theNational Center for Educa-tion Statistics.

A total of 54 percent writetheir own names, versus 40percent, while 77 percentread or pretend to read, com-pared to 57 percent.

But only 55 percent of chil-dren ages three to five wereread to daily in 2007, accord-ing to the National Centerfor Education Statistics.Children in families with in-comes below the povertyline are less likely to be readto aloud every day than are

children in families with in-comes at or above poverty.

Hagen began reading tohis children as soon as it waspossible without them wig-gling out of his arms.

“They get a sense of whata story is and how bookswork from beginning toend,” Hagen said. “They geta sense of how language iswritten, and they become fa-

miliar with the shapes ofwords and letters.”

Kai has a dictionary andreads the word, while Hagenreads the definition.

He believes his childrengain better concentrationtoo. It is different thanwatching television, whichputs viewers in a trance.

“When reading booksyour mind is making pic-

tures,” Hagen said. “It isshaping your mind in a dif-ferent way.

“I also have the opportu-nity to have a comfortablesituation with my child. Youhave the emotional and in-tellectual happening andyou have something to talkabout.”

Reading to your children is beneficial

Kurtis Hagen reads to his children, Kai, 4, and Erik, 2, at Plattsburgh Public Library.Photo by Stephen Bartlett


P L AT T S B U R G H — D r.Martin Luther King, Jr. was aleader in the truest sense, saidSen. Betty Little.

“He spoke with power andhe spoke eloquently andspoke from the heart, andmillions of Americans wereinspired to open theirhearts,” Little said.

Little spoke at the Dr. Mar-tin Luther King, Jr. Commu-nity Celebration Jan. 16 at theNewman Center at Platts-burgh State.

She said the day was a de-liberate moment in whichpeople pause to rememberthe past. It is a history no oneshall ever forget, she said.

“As difficult and painful amemory it is, it is also a won-derful day as we celebrate Dr.Martin Luther King,” Littlesaid. “We are a better peoplebecause of his vision.”

Shaun Smith, chair of theDr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Commission, spoke of pro-moting harmony, under-standing and good will. Hepointed out that King’s workpromoted inclusion, justiceand helping others.

King’s work transcendedrace, Smith said.

Times are tough in the

country, especially with thestate of the economy. ButSmith said no matter whatour opinions, we can work to-gether with each other.

“Today,” said PlattsburghCommon Council memberTimothy Carpenter, “we areall very important.”

And may we continue tolift up the cause for equalityfor all, said Rev. KathleenCrighton, pastor of the FirstPresbyterian Church inPlattsburgh.

“He (King) spoke againstinjustice and envisioned aworld where we could beequals.”

But, she said, we still live ina world with injustice.

Assemblywoman JanetDuprey wondered after aworld in which people couldgather and said they made it.She envisioned one in whichdiscrimination would be dif-ficult to find.

“We are not there yet,” shesaid, echoing Crighton’s sen-timents.

Duprey spoke about dis-crimination and bullying.

“The signs are all aroundus.”

Instant communication,wonderful in so many ways,makes it easy for bullies to re-main anonymous.

“We need to teach kids that

bullying is discrimination,”Duprey said. “We can’t waitanother day. We can’t lose an-other child. No child shouldever feel his or her only re-course is suicide.”

Fortunately, Duprey hasconfidence that the next gen-eration will do better thanever has been done before.

“Let’s all work a little hard-er in 2012 and make our cor-ner of the North Country asafer, more compassionateplace to live.”

Yet, every year it seems asif more of King’s dreams dis-appear, said Don Papson,

president of the North Coun-try Underground RailroadHistorical Association.

“Today, Americans rou-tinely assassinate each oth-er’s character.”

There is terrorism, home-lessness and so much moredragging people down.

But it is possible to makethe world better, Papson said.

“Life is hard, but we mustclimb the stairs,” he said. “Wecannot walk alone. We mustwalk together, for together,we can change the world.”

Papson has always wantedto change the world andworked toward that goal as aunion worker who participat-ed in King’s civil rights move-ment, the first male primaryteacher in Chicago and as amuseum director telling sto-ries of freedom.

“If you embrace yourdream you will make a differ-ence,” he said. “Let us notwait until someday to fulfillour dreams. Let us embraceour dreams today.”

North Countryman Editorial

It’s time for a food revolution, start-ing on the road at conveniencestores, fast food joints and grocery

chains. They need to be more accountableand begin selling more healthy on-the-gomeals.

Let’s face it, we’re a fat nation. About 34percent of adults and 17 percent of chil-dren in the U.S. are obese. New York itselfhas an obesity rate of 24 percent.

We all know the consequences of obesi-ty: heart disease, diabetes, high bloodpressure, sleep apnea, stroke, death.

For the millions of people who made ittheir New Year ’s resolutions to eat healthi-er this year, many will either stay awayfrom the abundant fast-food options wehave now or eventually succumb to theregular fare, which continues to keepmany Americans fat. After all, convenientfood is heavily processed and loaded withfat, carbohydrates, sugar and salt.

If the U.S. is really going to get trim, itneeds the help of food suppliers, especial-ly the ones on the front line.

While there are natural options to on-the-go eating habits — apples, bananas,celery, carrots, raw nuts, raisins, etc. —they are limited. It takes a great deal ofplanning and preparation to eat healthy asan American, but we don’t always havethe time.

We’re a nation on the go. Commutersrely on quick, easy grub to keep on themove (“America runs on Dunkin’”). Sothose who really want to lose the excessweight many times give up because theyhave few healthy choices on the road.

We wish we could walk into a conven-ience store, a grocery store or a fast-foodrestaurant and walk out with a nutritiousmeal we can eat in the car or at our desk.While some food poses as healthy, theseare merely token items.

Most convenience stores sell fresh fruit,milk and yogurt. Some sell salads, butthey are processed in other locations. Anda granola bar only goes so far. We’ll admit,some pre-made deli sandwiches havewheat bread as an option and include let-tuce and tomato. But that’s not much of ahealthier alternative to hamburgers, fake

rib sandwiches, breakfast burritos andprocessed chicken patties.

What about vegetarian food? If a healthfood store can make fresh vegan burritos,fried tempeh sandwiches, garden andblack bean salads and a variety of quickvegetarian meals, why can’t Stewart’s,Grand Union, Hannaford, Price Chopperor Walmart?

There are few stores that carry thesekinds of on-the-go nutritious alternatives,mostly health food stores, but they are notalways open when we need the food, suchas early in the morning and late at nightwhen people are on the go.

Try to cut out the following in your diet:cheese, processed frozen food, processedmeat, salty snacks, sweets, and traditionalfast food. Make it low-sodium. Make itvegetarian. Now walk into a conveniencestore, fast food restaurant or grocery storeand look around. You won’t find much, ifanything, to eat on the go, certainly not ameal.

It takes time to eat healthy, and time issomething many Americans don’t have.No wonder we’re so obese. And businessesthat sell us food could make it so mucheasier, and help us get healthier, if theyonly tried as hard as the health foodstores.

Here’s an idea: The health food storescould contract with these other stores andoffer fresh, wholesome grab-and-go foodin a natural food cooler.

The same old food just doesn’t cut itanymore. When will our food suppliers re-alize that?

So here’s our challenge for 2012: De-mand healthier food. Write letters, com-plain to store managers and make themchange. Tell them you’re mad as hell andyou’re not going to take it anymore.

This editorial is the collaborative opin-ion of a board comprised of Thom Randall,Fred Herbst, Lou Varricchio, Keith Lob-dell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn andJohn Gereau. Comments may be directed [email protected].

We need a food revolutionFor a country that was

founded based on theprinciple of religious

freedom, religion seems to beunder fire or at the very leastin question these days. Fromthe concern over footballplayer Tim Tebow, presiden-tial candidates Romney,Huntsman, Santorum andGingrich, media/politicalclassifications of the reli-gious right as evangelicalsand the recent controversiesover nativity scenes around the country, itwould appear that our nation’s opinion ofreligion has moved from a nation of believ-ers to one of skeptics.

Tebow is the second year professionalquarterback for the Denver Broncos. AHeisman Trophy winner, Tebow was highlycriticized for his lack of professional skills,but when given the chance to play this yearhe remarkably helped his team into the NFLplayoffs with a series of last minute heroics.Last week his team beat the heavily favoredPittsburgh Steelers in an overtime game inthe first round of the playoffs. Tebow isvery vocal about his beliefs and frequentlydrops to one knee to give thanks to God.His outward visible expression has beencopied by many and the pose has beentermed “Tebowing.” The media has fo-cused heavily on his strong show of faithand the credit he gives God as part of hissuccess.

Recently, NBA Hall of Fame player andcurrent commentator Charles Barkleytermed Tebowmania as a “national disas-ter.” The Broncos were crushed last week bythe New England Patriots, bringing an endto Tebow’s season and removing him fromthe national spotlight, at least for now.

In the case of presidential candidatesRomney and Huntsman, questions abouttheir religious beliefs center more aroundan overall lack of understanding of theMormon faith. While Romney and Hunts-man attempt to better define their religiousbeliefs, Gingrich has had to explain his con-version to Catholicism after marrying histhird wife. The Catholic Church has taken avery strong stance against divorce, butsince Gingrich wasn’t previously married inthe church, it doesn’t recognize those mar-riages. Santorum, also a Catholic, hasaligned his faith beliefs with his public life

and political positions. Lastweek a group of Evangelicalleaders met in Texas to throwtheir support behind the con-servative Santorum.

For a nation that expressesa tolerance for one’s religiousbeliefs, we seem overly sensi-tive to ones expression offaith. I find it hard to believeGod cares one way or anotherwho is the victor in a footballgame. And while playersover the years in all sports

have displayed many signs and gestures ofthanks to their supreme being, it seems oddthat such a fervor has been created aroundTebow’s actions.

The national media who controls thenews agenda sees these actions as worthyheadlines. Their role should be one of as-sisting to create tolerance and understand-ing, instead of creating labels and conflictbetween those of different faiths and be-liefs.

It’s just my opinion, but I don’t thinkGod is a scorekeeper nor does God chooseto take sides in sporting events and God’sfavor can’t be garnered for political gain.God is not waiting to seek vengeances atthose who error in their ways. It is my opin-ion that God judges us by the entire body ofour lives and not hour by hour nor day byday. I hope God considers what’s in a per-son’s heart, the way they conduct their livesand lessons they learn from life and howthey go about correcting the errors madealong the way.

And that is exactly the way we shouldaddress issues of faith as well as those ofnon-belief. As individuals in this countrywe should be able to practice our faith asspelled out in the Declaration of Independ-ence: “that they are endowed by their Cre-ator with certain unalienable Rights,” pro-vided that faith does not seek harm to oth-ers. Just as non-believers should be able topursue their beliefs without insisting theirrights trump those of faith. We should all bejudged on how we conduct our lives andhow we treat others and not apply labels toindividuals or groups that create conflictwithin our society.

There is a problem with Medicaidprescribers and providers in Clin-ton County.The issue is that hardly

anyone takes adult patients on Medicaid.This leaves a massive amount of peoplescurrying, often unsuccessfully, to get theirhealth needs adequately tended to. And tofurther complicate the problem, it is oftenthe region's neediest who are going with-out.

For example, a young woman went to theemergency room where she underwent ahost of tests. A Cat Scan found that herpineal gland was enlarged and the ER doc-tor ordered an MRI.

But Medicaid would not cover the proce-dure because it was ordered during an ERvisit. Medicaid demanded that a primarycare doctor make the referral.

This woman has been trying to obtain aprimary care doctor for months. She is pro-vided with lists of doctors who supposedlyaccept Medicaid, but they either do not ac-cept Medicaid or their patient load is full.

She was finally able to glimpse a glim-mer of hope in the form of The SmithHouse in Willsboro, which sent her an ap-

plication for services.But that is at least a halfhour away, and whileshe has access to a vehi-cle, think about thelarge numbers of peoplein her very situationwho do not.

What are they to do?They surely cannot af-

ford to take a taxi toThe Smith House everytime they are in need ofa doctor.

I also know of ayoung man who takesmedicine for bipolardisorder. Prescribers for psychiatric drugsare even fewer and far between.

A doctor at the young man's current pre-scriber (Behavioral Health Services North)refused to continue to prescribe the medi-cine that had kept the individual stable foryears. It should be noted that the doctor nolonger works for BHSN and became infa-mous while there for taking patients offmedications that worked.

Anyway, during thattime, the young man no-ticed his mental healthdeteriorating, but due tothe lack of prescribers inthe area, the advice hewas given was: "Go tothe emergency room ifyou don't feel well."

In fact, that is current-ly the advice routinelybeing given people, notbecause BHSN is a badagency but because ofthe lack of prescribers inthe area.

The young man triedto obtain services at Clinton County MentalHealth where there was an eight-monthwaiting list to obtain a prescriber. He wasgiven a list of possible prescribers who ac-cept Medicaid but none did.

The young man's mental health contin-ued to deteriorate until he ended up inCVPH's Mental Health Unit, where a doc-tor confirmed that the BHSN prescribernever should have taken him off his med-

ication at the time. He was put back on themedication and his condition improved,but during that time the parent and full-time employee was absent from work andhis family.

And now that young man once againfinds himself running dangerously low ofmedication and without a prescriber. Theonly options are in the form of waiting liststhat are several months long.

Once his meds run out and his mentalhealth deteriorates he can always check outof his work and family and into CVPH'sMental Health Unit where the vicious cyclewill start again.

This area has a very small population ofproviders and prescribers who acceptadults on Medicaid compared to a verylarge population of people and families inneed of their services. These people aren'tbums, sucking off the system, but are hard-working people who, in my opinion, de-serve better treatment.

Voting Districtfrom page 1

Clinton County Election Commissioner Greg Campbell. “One of theways we are looking at saving money is consolidating election dis-tricts within towns.”

With the new voting machines there is no limitation on the num-ber of voters, leaving plenty of room to consolidate districts andhave people voting on fewer machines, he said.

“If you go along with the suggestions you still have the same num-ber of polling places, a total of two, but three districts instead offour,” Campbell said. “This would save Champlain about $3,500.”

If the town kept its districts as is, costs would go up roughly$1,400, especially if other towns reduce their districts.

“What we are proposing to do is take District 1 from the North-way west and combine it with District 3 and take the balance andcombine it with District 2,” Campbell said.

District 1 would have a total of 1,038 voters; District 2, 1,080; andDistrict 3, 1,274.

“1 and 2 would be voting at the Civic Center in Rouses Point,”Campbell said.

District 3 would vote at the town offices in Champlain.The town would go from 17 poll workers to 12 under the change.

“Almost every town has asked if we can cut costs because costshave gone up with the new machines,” Campbell said. “It makessense to streamline as much as possible.”

The changes have to be made by Feb. 15 in anticipation of the pres-idential primary in April.

“It becomes incumbent on us to do this sooner rather than later,”Campbell said. “Towns are going to save a fair amount of money bydoing it.”

In all, Clinton County would see its voting districts reduced from70 to 53.

“Black Brook just did a resolution, and we would like to hear fromyou on whether you are comfortable with this or not,” Campbellsaid.

Champlain Supervisor Larry Barcomb said the only downside hesees is that some people in the Village of Champlain will have totravel to Rouses Point instead of the town offices in Champlain.

“We understand there will be people not happy with that, but weare trying to save the town money,” Campbell said. “Most of thesepeople won't think twice about jumping in their car because theyhave an errand to run.”

Ultimately, the town council passed a resolution accepting the rec-ommended changes.

“I support your recommendation,” Barcomb said. “I see no reasonnot to.”

Program teachesstudents to resistsubstance abuseand violenceBy Stephen [email protected]

CHAZY — The DAREpogram was not offeredwhen Clinton County Sher-iff ’s Department DeputyJamie Head was in school.

“Anything I found outabout drugs and alcohol Ilearned on the bus,” he said.“There was a lot of misinfor-mation out there.”

That is one of the reasonsHead supports the DAREprogram and was thrilled re-cently to graduate fifthgraders from Chazy CentralRural School from thecourse.

Drug Abuse Reinforce-ment Education, betterknown as DARE, is an inter-national program that seeksto prevent the use of con-trolled drugs, gang member-ship and violent behavior. It

has expanded globally sinceits founding in California in1983, and students who en-ter the program sign apledge not to use drugs orengage in violent behavior.

They are taught by law en-forcement about the dangers

of drug abuse in an interac-tive in-school curriculumthat lasts 13 weeks.

“We go to area schools andteach about the dangers ofdrug abuse and resisting vi-olence,” Head said.

The program brings a

comprehensive message tostudents about tobacco, al-cohol, marijuana and vio-lence.

The focus of late has beenprescription and over-the-counter medications.

“The number one abuser

is pills,” Head said. “It is thenumber one drug in schools.That is the trend.”

His message to students isto use common sense andchoose their friends well.

Statistically speaking,Head said, everyone whogoes through middle/highschool will be offered drugsat least once.

Head conducts role play-ing with students to preparethem for that encounter.

“I love coming to thisschool.”

And the school appreci-ates him as well.

“I think it is great for thestudents to have a positiverelationship with law en-forcement,” said PrincipalThomas Tregan. “I appreci-ate that the Sheriff ’s depart-ment sees this as an impor-tant program to continue.”

Students are provided theopportunity to discussthings they would not nor-mally talk about, specifical-ly, the pitfalls of alcohol anddrug abuse.

The program also givesthem the skills to think be-

fore they act, which is keywhen it comes to the powerof peer pressure.

“It is a wonderful pro-gram,” Tregan said.

Stephen and StephanieEro are pleased their sonZachary participated inDARE.

“It’s really good, becauseit teaches them to stay awayfrom drugs,” Mr. Ero said.

“It catches them at ayoung age when they aremost vulnerable,” addedMrs. Ero. “If they are older,it is too late.”

Fifth grader JustinCollins, who participated inthe program, read his essayon graduation day.

He said smoking marijua-na and tobacco can causebreathing problems and leadto death.

Alcohol, the young stu-dent said, slows down thebrain and body and is illegalfor anyone under 21.

“Tobacco, alcohol andmarijuana are all bad for youand you can die from them.”

Beekmantown Central School has a student on theschool boardBy Stephen [email protected]

BEEKMANTOWN — Beekman-town Central School, like all districts,isn’t immune to controversy from timeto time.

But having a student representativeon hand to provide the “low-down” ishelpful in not only quelling anger overvarious issues, but in helping steer theschool board in the right direction.

That is one of the reasons the districthas a student school board member.

“I am happy to continue with the tra-dition we started in 2004-05,” said Su-perintendent Scott Amo.

The student council president auto-matically become the students’ repre-sentative on the board, and this school

year it is senior Charles Simpson. Thestudent participates in board meetingsas a non-voting member of the group.

“It’s been eye opening,” Simpsonsaid. “I get to see the inner workings ofthe school board as well as the public’sreaction.”

This year has been rocky at timeswith the school district operating un-der a contingency budget.

Last may, district voters passed the2011-12 spending plan, but there was amistake with a voting machine whichled to a re-vote. Voters defeated thespending plan during the re-vote andschool officials adopted a contingencybudget which carries significant limi-tations in the way the district canspend money and operate school facil-ities.

“This has given me an idea of whatthe board controls, and I have learnedthat the board has to react to a lot thatis mandated by the state,” Simpsonsaid. “It makes me view their job dif-ferently. Their hands are tied in a lot ofareas.”

He has watched as many issues have

been brought up by the board and thepublic, which has been intensely criti-cal of school officials at times.

In some regards, the criticism is war-ranted, Simpson said, but it also is notat times. Still, he believes it is good that

people are interested in what is hap-pening at their school.

“This problem evolved over manyyears and the public wants it resolvednow,” Simpson said.

Students have not been happy attimes either. They wanted to knowwhy they lost a band teacher and whythe fitness center was closed to themearlier this year and closed to the pub-lic. The latter stems from the contin-gency budget, which doesn’t permituse of school facilities by outside or-ganizations.

Simpson makes a presentation to theschool board at the beginning of eachmeeting and talks to officials aboutwhat issues students feel are impor-tant.

He thinks he has been able to makea little bit of a difference so far, thoughhe feels he could do more if it was notfor the contingency budget.

“I think it is important students havea way to contact the board and for stu-dents to understand what is happen-ing,” Simpson said. “I think it is goodfor students to get a view into what is

controlling their school.”For Amo, having a student school

board member provides the superin-tendent and board with ground-levelinformation from a student represen-tative. It is a sort of eye in the sky.

“It is a great opportunity for democ-racy in action,” Amo said. “Hopefullythey recognize they have the opportu-nity for a student voice that has a pathto the board.”

And it is always beneficial to obtainthe students’ viewpoint, Amo said.

“Knowing he is there to pick up di-alogue from the board table and bringit back to the students is very comfort-ing.”

Simpson has enjoyed learning howlocal government works, and studentsseem to appreciate the opportunity tobe heard and to gain a better under-standing of what is happening in theirschool.

So far, Simpson said he has onlymissed one meeting.

Sometimes they are really interest-ing,” he grinned, “and at times it is bor-ing.”

Board member provides students a voice

Charles Simpson, a senior at Beekman-town Central School, is the student rep-resentative on the school board.


Storm Readyfrom page 1

earning Storm Ready status.“We want to make sure you

have all it takes to meet ourcriteria as Storm Ready,”Nash said.

To be officially StormReady, a community or sitemust:

- Establish a 24-hour warn-ing point and emergency-op-erations center.

- Have redundant commu-nications systems to receive

severe weather forecasts andwarnings and to alert thepublic.

- Create a system that mon-itors local weather condi-tions.

- Promote the importanceof public readiness throughcommunity seminars.

- Develop a formal haz-ardous weather plan, whichincludes training severeweather spotters and holdingemergency exercises.

Weather radios, at a mini-mum, must be located at foursites within Storm Ready

communities, includingemergency operations cen-ters, 24-hour warning points,city hall, and all school super-intendent offices.

The National WeatherService trains emergencymanagers, dispatchers andother first responders on howto stay vigilant by identifyingfeatures in clouds that indi-cate severe weather.

“We hope this gives yourfolks in town a little moresense of safety,” Nash said.

There are 1,857 StormReady communities nation-

wide.The program was credited

with saving more than 50lives in Van Wert County,Ohio in November 2002.

The United States experi-ences about 10,000 thunder-storms, 5,000 floods, 1,000floods and 2 deadly hurri-canes yearly, according to theNational Weather Service.

“Our goal is to make Clin-ton County a Storm Readycommunity,” said ChrisTrombley, deputy fire coordi-nator for Clinton CountyEmergency Services. “That

will take some effort.”“It is a sliding scale based

on population, but the basicthing is a warning point thatwill receive our warnings andpass them on,” said GregHanson, service hydrologistfor the National WeatherService, Burlington. “Theyneed to have done some drillsand training to ensure theyhave practiced so if weather ishazardous they know how torespond to it.”

One key is redundancy andfree flow of information, hesaid.

“Disasters start locally andthe need is local,” said EricDay, director of EmergencyServices for Clinton County.“They need to be preparedand have a means of warningand notification.”

Hopefully, as residents seeStorm Ready signs in Cham-plain they will begin workingon their own emergency-pre-paredness plans, Nash said.

“No matter how well acommunity is prepared it isup to individuals to be pre-pared. We don't want to waituntil the event happens.”

The community-actionagency provides an arrayof vital servicesBy Stephen [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — The Joint Council forEconomic Opportunity of Clinton andFranklin counties is dedicated to providingresources and services that enhance peo-ple’s dignity and self reliance.

“We offer a variety of programs and com-munity outreach programs here and in 10centers throughout the county,” said BruceGarcia, chief executive officer for JCEO. “Wedo emergency services throughout the areathat assist families with eviction and utilityshut off and more.

“Such situations are very common.”One such service JCEO, which was estab-

lished in 1965, offers is a food shelf in Platts-burgh and each center it operates.

The shelves are partly stocked with dona-tions from businesses such as Sam’s Club,Walmart and Target, as well as local ven-dors.

“We probably service between 500 to 600families a month through food pantries,”Garcia said. “It is significant.”

JCEO also operates a daycare programthat assists providers in becoming certified,such as by providing items like a fence.

JCEO helps in-home daycare providersget reimbursed for providing nutritioussnacks and meals.

The energy-services department offersweatherization that helps make homes more

energy efficient. It also provides a variety ofprograms to help individuals obtain loans tomake their homes more energy efficient.

Head Start through JCEO can be found in10 centers in Clinton County and seven inFranklin county. The agency further hasthree home-based visitor programs whereworkers enter areas not large enough to sup-port a Head Start center.

“Head Start helps prepare kids for kinder-garten and takes a holistic approach toworking with families,” Garcia said. “Wehave family workers who work directlywith families on a host of issues, such asbudgeting and looking for a job. All activi-ties that enhance the family to help thechild.

“We are funded to serve 337 children and

their families.”That is not nearly the need that exists in

the two counties, he pointed out.“If we had more funds we would be serv-

ing more kids.”In fact, JCEO just saw funds for the Home

Energy Assistance Program slashed. HEAPprovides direct payment for heating bills forlow-income families.

“With HEAP the need will far exceed theavailability this year,” Garcia said. “Giventhe state of the economy and the price of oil,I can’t say I understand Congress’ reductionin HEAP.

“I don’t think it is going to be good.”Under contract with the Office for the Ag-

ing, JCEO operates senior outreach.“Workers meet with seniors in their

homes and assist them in getting the servic-es they need,” Garcia said. “We also have arural transportation program and help themget volunteers to take them to and frommedical appointments.”

He explained that in one year in one par-ticular town, JCEO coordinated more than825 rides. They provide 3,000 to 3,500 ridesyearly to seniors.

The need for JCEO is growing.“We have seen people apply for benefits

whom we have never seen before,” Garciasaid.

During 2010-11, JCEO experienced almosta 30 percent increase in the number of peo-ple accessing their food pantries.

The agency works with in excess of 8,000families and close to 25,000 individuals.

“We provide such a broad array of servic-es, and they are not available if we are nothere,” Garcia said.

The need is steadily growing for JCEO

Bruce Garcia, CEO of JCEO, said the group’s mission is to provide services and resources that enhance peo-ple’s dignity and self reliance.


The Long Term RecoveryGroup is the first of its kindin the regionBy Stephen [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — A person’s wholeworld view can be shattered when they gothrough a disaster, says Jamie Grubb.

“They believed in a safe and happyworld, and all of a sudden it is gone,” saidGrubb of Hesed Hope Ministries. “That iswhere mental health counseling comes in.”

That is one of a plethora of services thatwill be offered under the new Long TermRecovery Group that has been establishedto help meet the unmet needs of disastervictims in Clinton, Essex and Franklincounties. Grubb is vice chair of the newgroup that consists of several non-profit or-ganizations and governmental agenciesfrom throughout the region that have cometogether to build a coordinated network.

The group was formed to meet the unmetneeds in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene,and other disasters, as well as futureevents.

“This was a large scale disaster, and a lotof people didn’t have flood insurance,”Grubb said. “There is not enough funding,and it takes a community to come in andsupport the individuals.”

The purpose of the Long Term RecoveryGroup is to coordinate long term disasterrecovery through mobilization of resources

and case management. Currently, the groupis focusing on recovery efforts associatedwith Tropical Storm Irene.

The group was established with the assis-tance of FEMA Voluntary Agency Liaisonsassigned to the region in the wake of Trop-ical Storm Irene.

The Long Term Recovery Group electedJohn Bernardi of the United Way of the

Adirondack Region as chair.The group is comprised of over 20 organ-

izations, both non-profitand governmental, through-out the region.

“This group has come to-gether and is a able to poolour resources,” Bernardisaid.

Bernardi stressed that the recovery ef-forts so far have been good, but there istremendous need out there and there arestill unmet needs.

This could include rebuilding, relocation,physical damage, mental-health counselingand more.

“There are hundreds of people affected,and the majority of those affected still haveunmet needs,” Bernardi said.

The group’s main focus is on families, butit will not ignore businesses.

“There are dozens of businesses affect-ed,” Bernardi said. “We anticipate recoveryfrom Irene to go on for quite some time.”

Fortunately, there is a pool of resourcesbeing brought to the table, whether it befunding or services.

“It is partially about dollars and cents,”Bernardi said, “but equally important arethe services we can provide them.

“This is the first time in this region wehave brought together this type of group.”

He said the region is blessed with atremendous network of health and humanservice organizations.

“By mobilizing the resources we will beable to help our friends and neighbors whohave been devastated by the particular dis-asters and address future disasters.”
