CLAYTON â The owner of a Watertown paving business was injured Wednesday when a tractor ran over him while he was working on Calumet Boulevard.
James Desormeau, owner of TJ Paving & Trucking, was airlifted to Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, for treatment of what the Jefferson County Sheriffâs Office described as presumed internal injuries.
Deputies said that at about 1;45 p.m. Wednesday, they responded to a report that a person had been partially run over by a tractor at 16497 Calumet Blvd. Employees of Mr. Desormeauâs company reported that he had been pinned under the tractor while trying to start it. The tractor lurched forward, partially running over him.
CLAYTON â A flight paramedic with LifeNet had just inflated pig lungs during a lecture at the Thousand Islands Rescue Service headquarters Monday night, underscoring how critical in-person learning is for EMT students.

For what Pam A. Jones is doing, the idea of learning how to make snap decisions to help lives can hardly be done online. Thatâs why she fought for her spring 2021 EMT class to be done in person. Mrs. Jones, a coordinator and paramedic at the rescue service, was told organizing twice-weekly, near four-hour classes for six months while also in person would be extremely difficult.
