Assemblyman Billy Jones Early Morning June 19th COVID-19 Update
COVID-19 June 19 Updates |
Celebrating the North Country Community |
| With the beautiful weather recently, I wanted to highlight a few heartwarming stories during the pandemic from around the district.
To start, I wanted to make a shoutout to Brock Benware, a Beekmantown Central School student who created an Obstacle Course of Hope to bring light to all the good our first responders and frontline workers are doing. I was humbled to present him with a New York State Assembly citation back in May, honoring his efforts and Ella and I even took the challenge. |

| Peru Central School graduate, Rachel Coughlin, wrote a song titled- “Personal”- about her experience during COVID-19.
Her video on YouTube has been viewed more than 2,600 times and she was also featured on WCAX for her song. I would like to congralute Rachel for writing a song that so many can relate to right now. You can listen to her song here. |

Mountain Lake PBS created an online exhibit for Plattsburgh State University’s annual art show for the seniors in the fine arts progam.
The annual BFA Exhibition is a culmination of the creative efforts of students from the SUNY Plattsburgh Art Department. |
| Over the course of their senior year, students are expected to produce a body of work that investigates an idea or set of concerns that is meaningful to them.
The 2020 show features paintings, drawings, printmaking, sculpture, photography, graphic design, animation, and ceramic works created by 14 students. Visit the art exhibition here. |

| I also wanted to thank Jake from Ellenberg Center for saving $900 to build a (not so little) free library on Ellenberg Center Rd.
It is open for self service every day. You can check up to 2 books to be returned the next week. Craft bags and art projects are available and will be repeatedly changing- currently there are Father’s Day crafts and a tie-dye sign-up. You can also pick-up a pebble to paint and return that will be used to create a colorful path around the library. He will be setting up a Facebook page and scheduling read-alouds. |
