This year ’s event will see the return of the ride’s “poker crawl.” Those who pay an additional amount to enter the crawl will be able to pick up playing cards at the start and end of the ride. When the ride ends, each participant is checked to see who has the best poker hand. Prizes will then be awarded for best and hand and bust hand. Those interested in participating in this year ’s Jeff Wyand Miracle Ride are encouraged to call 1-802-847-1010 or visit the ride Web site, www.jeffwyandride.org.

PLATTSBURGH — Tom Wyand knows that if his son, Jeff, were here today, he’d be proud of the work done to help sick children through the Jeff Wyand Miracle Ride. “But, he’d probably be a little embarrassed that the ride’s in his name,” said Wyand, who noted his son was a very modest person. “Jeff never really sought the spotlight. When he was sick, he was one of those kids that just wanted everyone to treat him like he was normal.” It was in December 2006 the Plattsburgh man lost his son to medulloblastoma — a common malignant childhood tumor that affects the central nervous system. Jeff was only 18 years old. However, prior to his death, Jeff ’s father worked to form a motorcycle ride in 2001 to raise money to help the families of children who had cancer. “Biking for Miracles” continued after the Wyand family’s tragic loss but adapted a new name in 2007 — the Jeff Wyand Miracle Ride. Since its inception, the event has raised $330,000. Last year alone, the ride raised $53,000 and drew 800 riders. Eleven hun-

dred people in all came out to support the event. “It’s close to everyone’s hearts because it helps kids,” said Wyand. “Everybody knows kids who are sick. And, everyone knows kids aren’t supposed to go before the adults. I think that’s why everyone supports the ride.” The ride has had several tweaks to its schedule and course over the years. Most notably, the ride changed from its starting point in Rouses Point to Ticonderoga, in order to encourage more riders to participate and give riders a change of scenery. This year, the starting point and ending point — which was typically the Naked Turtle — will change again. “We’re going to start the ride at Vermont Children’s Hospital (in Burlington, Vt.) and end at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta in South Hero,” said Wyand. “We wanted people to see where their hard work and money has gone to over the years.” However, that doesn’t mean New York is out of the Jeff Wyand Miracle Ride, said Wyand. In fact, two rides will leave the Plattsburgh area the morning of the Vermont ride with the intent for everyone to meet up at Vermont Children’s Hospital. The New York rides will hold registration

Hannah’s Hope Fund in running for $250,000 People’s votes needed by end of this month By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com SARANAC — Every day for the past two weeks, Carrie Favaro has turned on her computer, hoping to see yet another person supporting the mission of Hannah’s Hope Fund. The nonprofit organization — whose mission is to eradicate giant axonal neuropathy (GAN), an inherited neurological disorder — has been in the running since Aug. 1 for a $250,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Everything Project. Hannah’s Hope Fund has special meaning for Favaro, whose niece, Hannah Sames of Rexford, was diagnosed with the condition in 2008 at the age of 3. Favaro and her sister, Lori Sames — Hannah’s mother who is formerly from Plattsburgh — joined other family members in submitting their cause to Pepsi for funding. And, it worked.

“We were up until midnight July 31 to submit it because they only take the first 1,000 ideas in each category every month,” explained Favaro. “We got in and they approved our application.” Though the road to receive the funding is far from over. The power of the people will decide the fate of the Hannah’s Hope Fund request, which, if awarded, will help with clinical human trials of gene therapy to correct the condition. The Refresh Everything Project opens submitted causes up to the public to vote on which projects they’d like to see funded most. And, though Hannah’s Hope Fund is competing against 1,231 other submissions in their category, there is a ray of hope, said Favaro. “Right now, we’re ranked 59th out of all of them,” Favaro said in an interview last week. “Just a few days ago, we were ranked 432nd. That just shows you how quickly it can climb.” The numbers have even climbed more since then. As of Tuesday morning, Hannah’s Hope Fund was ranked 46th. Why are the numbers jumping so fast? Favaro thinks she has an idea. “What I think has helped us is that spinal muscular atrophy, SMA, is also dependent on delivery of a healthy gene to the spinal cord and our science is on target to be the first disease community to do that,” said Favaro. “If we’re successful, that will help SMA and some of these other geneticallybased neurological disorders.” “It could have a lot of impact in a lot of different areas,” she added. However, that’s only half of why the numbers are rising, said Favaro. It’s the support of people in the past two years that have attended bake sales, car washes, golf tournaments, dinners and every other fundraiser to raise money for the Hannah’s Hope Fund mission that’s made the organization successful and one step closer to a cure for GAN, she said.

“With the help of the North Country, we’ve reached every single milestone,” said Favaro, who noted the most notable milestone was successfully raising $500,000 toward a $1 million matching grant from the Sunshine Lady Foundation in Wilmington, N.C. “It shows when people come together, how can you lose?” Though Hannah’s Hope Fund is trying to raise $1.3 million to fund human clinical trials in the fall of 2011, Favaro said she feels the $250,000 grant would make that milestone much more possible. Voting for Hannah’s Hope Fund can be done free on-line at www.refresheverything.com/hannahshopefund. Votes may also be cast by texting 101885 to 73774 — the numeric translation for “Pepsi.” Standard

text messaging rates apply. Votes may be cast once a day per person. “If area businesses or groups of people would get together and vote before lunch or whenever, that would really help,” said Favaro. “And, if local people vote and encourage their friends and family who live far away to vote, it’s just going to spread like wildfire.” The top two vote-getters in their category at the end of the month will get their grants approved.

UNYTEA Party hosts debate Sept. 1 PLATTSBURGH — The Upstate New York Tea Party will host a debate between Doug Hoffman and Matt Doheny, candidates for the 23rd Congressional District seat up for election this November. The debate will be held Wednesday, Sept. 1, at Westside Ballroom, 253 New York Road, at 7 p.m., said UNYTEA chairman Mark L. Barie. According to Barie, the two candidates, who are both seeking the GOP nod to run against incumbent William A. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, agreed to the debate Aug. 5. “We are very pleased that both Mr. Doheny and Mr. Hoffman trust UNYTEA to host a forum which is fair and equitable to both candidates,” said Barie, who will serve as moderator. “The debate is part of our on-going effort to keep the voters informed about their choices in the upcoming election.” The debate format will include questions from a panel of three

August 14 — 20, 2010

media representatives, whose names will be released once confirmed, said Barie. Each candidate will be asked an equal number of questions and be given two minutes in which to respond. The respondent’s opponent will be given one minute for a rebuttal. UNYTEA was formed last September. Thus far, UNYTEA has endorsed only one candidate for public office — Hoffman in the race for Congress. The group has also hosted a series of press conferences, rallies and protests, advocating for lower taxes, less spending, and limited government. The group has grown to more than 900 members. For more information about UNYTEA or the upcoming debate, contact Barie at 297-7741 or 593-3754 or by e-mail at unytea@yahoo.com.

Bike theft can cut summer fun short

Police offer tips to prevent a major headache katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The warm summer months are the perfect time to break out the bicycle and leave the car at home, get some fresh air and ride down one of the many bike paths Plattsburgh has to offer. However, after a quick stop at the local mini-mart, you may come outside to find your bike gone without a trace. “You may think you’re only going into a store for a second, but that’s all someone needs,” said Lt. Kevin Riley of the Plattsburgh City Police Department. According to Riley, the busiest time of year for bike theft is in the summer. In 2008, 76 bikes were reported stolen in Plattsburgh, 50 of those bikes were reported missing between June and September. Since June of this year, 32 bicycles have been reported missing to city police and currently there are 40 bikes impounded at the Pine Street police department. The bikes have either been found by city police or abandoned on private property. The impounded bikes range from a hot pink bicycle with a blue bell on the handle bars to a black Orange County Choppers model bicycle. The one thing each of the bikes have in common is in order for the owner to get it

back, they must be able to prove ownership. “Somebody can’t just go back and say ‘That’s my bike’ without any proof or documentation that they purchased the bike,” said Riley. “Someone’s best bet is if you get a book with proof of purchase of the bike or have the serial number of the bike.” Riley also suggests registering a bike with the police department, so if it ever ends up in impound, they can identify it. “A lot of people don’t know that we do this, but we have a bike registration program,” he explained. “People can come down [to the police station] at anytime. We will take down all of their information on the bike and they can get their bike registered as long as they know their serial number. We then give them a sticker that we have record of at the front desk and that goes on the bike. If we ever find the bike we will then know who it belongs to.” Being smart about securing a bike is the best way to avoid having it stolen, said Riley. Police advise locking up a bike to a sturdy, immovable object securely bolted to the ground and locking at least one tire with a secure lock. “If [a bike thief sees] the bike unlocked, they are going to take it,” said Riley. “If you see a bike locked up downtown you’re probably not going to take a hack saw to the bike chain because that will draw attention to the

thief.” According to Riley, a bike can be held at the city police station for three months to three years depending on the value. Unclaimed bikes are collected twice a year by The Christmas Bureau, a charitable organization whose sole purpose is to provide

Christmas gifts for low-income families throughout Clinton County. “We have 40 bikes in the back and we probably have a few months left of good weather,” Riley said. “If you look again in October, we will probably [be] filled up back there.”

Every dog gets its day By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com

Dogs enjoy a day at the East Morrisonville Park pond during last year’s Doggie Paddle Day. This year’s event will be held Sunday, Aug. 22. Photo submitted

EAST MORRISONVILLE — The Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department recognizes many people consider their dogs more than a pet, but one of their children. Therefore they have organized a day all about pampering pups. Doggie Paddle Day is a day in which people can bring their dogs to the East Morrisonville Park on Bullis Road to go swimming in the pond. During the summer dogs are not allowed to go swimming at the beach because the department worries issues may arise with bacteria in the water. “We have to pass bacterial level checks by the health department,” explained recreation department director Melanie Defayette. “We’re afraid with dogs, if you let one in, you’ll have a hundred in there every day. That certainly wouldn’t do well with our test.”

However, on Sunday, Aug. 22, the day following the official closing of the beach, dogs will be allowed in the water. Four years ago, the staff at the recreation department was having a brainstorming session about different activities they could start doing. “Of course the staff that we talked with all have dogs,” said Defayette. “And they were like, ‘We would really like to be in the water with our dogs.’” “The pond is perfect. Just perfect,” she added. “Because it’s only about 4 and a half feet deep in the middle. It’s contained. It’s not like you’re bringing them out into the river. It’s like a big pool for them. They have a ball.” Doggie Paddle Day will have more than just swimming however. The event will bring in various vendors including Canine Adventure, Tails of the Adirondack, PetSmart, and Barking Bubbles.

“This is all about the dogs,” Defayette said. “They’re our kids too.” When the department first had Doggie Paddle Day, Defayette admits she was a little nervous the dogs would be running all around the park. “But you know, they all stayed together and they just played in the water and they’d jump out of the pool and then play with each other then run back into the water,” she said. “It ends up being an organized chaos. It’s a lot of fun.” Defayette also sees it as a positive environment for the dogs. “It’s a great opportunity to socialize the dog,” she said. “They can play with other dogs. And get a chance to try swimming. If they’ve never been in the water before, it’s a great spot to try the water.” The event will be held from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Dog owners are required to bring proof of rabies vaccinations.

Moonlight Movie enters third year with ‘Up’ By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Families will gather Saturday, Aug. 21, at the Macdonough Monument to watch a movie under the stars. Moonlight Movie, an event which began three years ago, is an idea the Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department director Melanie Defayette said she got at a conference for New York State Recreation and Parks. “Other towns were doing it. I kind of researched it … and said ‘what a neat idea,’” recalled Defayette. The first year the movie was held at the Clinton County Fairgrounds, bringing in nearly 50 people. The following year it was moved to the monument, with an

even bigger turnout. The change in location was the decision of the cosponsors, Reality Check, a statewide program which educates people about the marketing practices of the tobacco industry. “They decided in their second year that they really wanted to try to move it into the city,” Defayette explained of Reality Check. “So we could try to get people walking and all that.” “And down at Macdonough, you’ve got the lamp seating, the hillside,” she added. “It’s just an extremely pleasant place to hold it.” Defayette said Reality Check has been sponsoring movies along with recreation departments across the state.

“Reality Check uses it as an opportunity to spread their good word about smoking in movies,” explained Defayette. “They preview the movie with their own video … about just making people aware of how tobacco companies basically sneak their way into movies.” This year ’s movie event will feature “Up,” which Defayette said features no tobacco marketing. According to the movie’s official Web site, this family-friendly movie features Carl Fredicksen, a retired balloon salesman who ties thousands of balloons to his house and sets out for an adventure. It is rated PG. The movie will be held at 7:45 p.m. and people are asked to bring their own blankets or low-rise chairs. It is a tobacco, alcohol and drug free event. For more information, call the recreation department at 562-6860.

Commuting ... at a snail’s pace

Pictured above is the reflection in a sideview mirror of a line of cars waiting to board the the Lake Champlain ferry that transports motorists between Crown Point, NY and Chimney Point, Vt. Photo by John Gereau

By John Gereau johng@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Micheala Martin sat in an endless line of rush hour traffic last week, nervously drumming her fingers on the steering wheel. The Crown Point ferry — her ride home — was nowhere in sight. “This is ridiculous,” she said after stepping out of her car to talk about her daily commute. “I am half an hour late picking up my little girl at day care.” Martin, who lives in Bristol and travels to and from work in Plattsburgh, said she routinely waits an hour or more to cross the lake where the Lake Champlain Bridge once stood. Summer traffic has compounded the

holdup, she said. Work has begun to replace the bridge and a new crossing is expected to be open in about a year — but for commuters like Martin, that can’t come soon enough. “It is impossible to plan or stick to a work schedule,” she said, leaning against her car. “One day you zip right across, the next you wait an hour and a half.” A few minutes later, the line moved a few hundred yards, transforming again to a parking lot for another 15 minutes as the two ferries crossed paths from one side to the other. Crown Point supervisor Bethany Kosmider said she empathizes with motorists, and said she has fielded a number of calls from commuters upset at the wait in Crown Point and Chimney Point, Vt. “I know it is frustrating,” she said. “What

I am hearing is that it wasn’t that bad until summer hit. Now the wait can be substantial, especially during rush hour.” Lake Champlain Transit currently operates two ferries at the site of the former bridge, but there are slips built to accommodate up to four. Kosmider said she plans to ask LCT officials about adding a third ferry — at least during peak traffic times like 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. “I’m not sure what the answer will be,” she admitted. “I don’t know about the feasibility of running another ferry in the canal. It is pretty congested now with two.” LCT manager Margaret Murphy agreed putting a third ferry in the rotation would only create gridlock. The company also does not have another ferry available at this time. “Three boats there would be on top of each other,” she said. “I think they would be forced to travel down or up the lake to stay out of the way of one another.” That scenario would also likely impact other boat traffic, she added. Murphy said the last two weeks in July and first two in August are traditionally the busiest time of year for the ferry service. She anticipates the problem to lessen in the fall. “It will die down in September,” she said. “In the meantime, we work as efficiently as we can.” The ferry service between Crown Point and Chimney Point, Vt. is a 24-hour service. There is no charge at the crossing, as the service is subsidized by the two states. While Martin said she appreciates not having to pay to cross, she said she is forced to at times when trying to make a tight schedule. “It certainly is easier to stick to a schedule when I cross in Charlotte,” she said. “But, at $18 for a round trip, it gets expensive.” “I wouldn’t be able to do it every day,” she added.

‘Cuts for a Cure’ to help Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Event aims to draw people from across North Country Aug. 22 By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PERU — When Brooke Taptick was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 10 days old, her parents didn’t know what to do. “We were just in disbelief,” said Brooke’s mother, Meghan Daley Taptick. “It was almost like there was a cloud over our heads.” Taptick, a Peru native, and her husband, Mike, who both reside in Rutland, Vt., didn’t know much about the chronic disease which affects a person’s lungs and digestive system. For Taptick, the words cystic fibrosis were ones that, at first, left her feeling “isolated and alone.” “I hadn’t really heard of CF before. I didn’t know anyone who had it,” she said. “That was a really scary thing.” However, it wasn’t long before Taptick found the disease was more common than she thought. “When I told all of my friends, it seemed like every one of them knew someone with CF,” she said. “People came out of the woodwork.” The Tapticks were soon put in touch with other families who have or have had loved ones with CF through a parent advisory group at Vermont Children’s Hospital. It was a relief to the Tapticks to know they weren’t alone in helping a family member combat the disease. “Talking to other moms with children that have CF is a huge help,” said Brooke’s moth-

er. When Brooke was first diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, the Tapticks took their daughter to see a CF specialist. There, the doctor said it was an “exciting time in the world of cystic fibrosis” because of the medical advancements that have been made since the condition was first discovered. “It was kind of hard to hear that,” said Taptick. “But it was because they’re on the horizon of developing a drug that’s supposed to make a huge difference to everyone with CF, to make the cells work properly.” The doctor informed the Tapticks that the life expectancy of a child with CF had grown from where it was even 10 years ago, when those with the disease weren’t expected to live past their 20s. “Now it’s in the 30s and it’s quickly rising,” said Taptick. “I know someone who is 35 living with CF and when he was born, he wasn’t supposed to live past 7. That just shows how far we’ve come.” However, the estimated 30,000 Americans living with CF aren’t out of the woods, yet. The disease still complicates the body’s ability to absorb fat and causes respiratory problems. “In the lungs of people with CF, mucus forms making it harder to breathe, and the mucus can cause respiratory infections,” explained Taptick. “We’ve been lucky, though. Brooke’s lungs have been clear every time we’ve checked.” Now 16 months old, Brooke’s condition,

however, requires her to undergo chest physical therapy twice a day for 25 minutes at a time. “We cup our hands and hit her chest to pull the mucus off of her lungs,” explained Taptick. Though there are other methods for helping combat the mucus problem, such as expensive high-tech vests, which do the same job and nebulizers to help with breathing, Taptick said she’d like to see more than remedies for the disease. She wants a cure. That’s why Taptick is working with Colours Salon on Main Street in Peru to host

Vision problems can affect a child’s learning A

ugust is both Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month as well as Children’s Vision and Learning Month. With school just around the corner, it’s time to look into whether your child has vision problems. Vision problems are more than just a nuisance for children. Impacted vision can have serious effects on a child’s ability to learn in the classroom. Imagine trying to read a textbook or see the chalkboard with words dancing around or vision doubled. What if the words were blurred or even backward? These are the problems thousands of students face. Poor grades or an inability to pay attention in class may be incorrectly attrib-

uted to other learning or behavioral issues when really they could stem from poor vision. Most vision screenings at school do not check for tracking, focusing, eye teaming, or perceptual skills. They simply check for visual acuity. Therefore, students with certain vision impairments

Appointments may be made by calling the salon at 643-2655. The day will also consist of raffle prizes and other drawings, as well as a baked goods sale.

may be sent on their way with a 20/20 bill of health. An optometrist or ophthalmologist will be able to diagnose vision problems that are not apparent in school exams. Without proper diagnosis, children can experience low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy in school. With repeated admonishments from educators and parents, children may view themselves as “stupid” or unable to learn. This could impact them throughout their entire lives. Corrective treatments can improve a child’s ability to see and learn. A study published in the Archives of Ophthalmology indicated test scores of preschool-aged children who had hyperopia and astigmatism were lower than those who did not. Within six weeks of wearing corrective glasses, the children’s test scores improved significantly. The American Optometric Association recommends comprehensive eye exams each year before a child enters school. Parents can make this a part of annual physical exams when taking kids for yearly wellness visits. Children are not alone in vision problems. Adults can also be impacted by any number of vision ailments. Doctors recommend annual eye exams for adults as well. Make it a family affair and schedule appointments on the same day.

Roy outruns Foley for Airborne checkers Night also marks Wood’s fourth Sportsman win SOUTH PLATTSBURGH — Martin Roy chased down early leader Mike Phinney, and then held off George Foley on a last lap restart to win the Ernie’s Discount Tools Modified 30-lap main event Aug. 7 at Airborne Speedway. Roy started ninth in a 27car field and took the lead on the outside on lap 20. “My car was very good on the outside,” Roy said. “When I got a run on George [Foley] for second that worked for me and then I stayed out there for the lead.” Foley’s second-place effort was his best of the season and it ended a string of frustrating finishes for the Saranac Lake driver. Patrick McGrail of Candiac, Quebec, finished third, a car-length ahead of Patrick Dupree. Mike Phinney of Keeseville had his best finish of the season in fifth. Positions 610 went to Leon Gonyo, Vince Quenneville, Don Scarborough, Matt Woodruff and Todd Stone. Robin Wood battled for the lead with Shawn Duquette for 10 laps before drawing away from the field to claim his fourth J&S Steel Sportsman win. Bucko Branham was the next to challenge Duquette and the pair

Rick Doner of Ausable Forks outdrove all competitors to win the NAPA Mini-Modified feature for his second win in a row. Doner used the inside lane to advance into the top-five and then swung to the high side to overtake the leaders. Kris Clark was the runner-up. Speedy Bresette moved into third with two laps left. Bill Joyal of Ausable Forks became the official Monster Energy Bomber feature winner when Mike Whalen did not pass tech inspection. The modified finishing results are as follows: 1. Martin Roy; 2.

Therapy Nightclub and Sports Lounge is in session By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Whatever the flavor or the treatment, Therapy Nightclub and Sports Lounge has a remedy. According to the back wall of the night club, Therapy is “an agency (as treatment) designed or serving to bring about social adjustment.” The sports lounge, located at 14 Margaret St., in the Riverview Plaza, brings the socializing to Plattsburgh sports fans with a delicious combination of chicken wings and 31 different brews on tap all while offering 20 flat screen televisions for viewing the big game. For food, they also have popcorn, peanuts, nachos and hot dogs — typical of sporting events. “If you were at the ball game the nachos can kind of bring back some of your old childhood memories,” said Jimmy Taber, operating partner of Therapy. “The hot dogs, the peanuts and the popcorn, it kind of sets it in motion the feeling like I’m right there at the ball game, in an air conditioned building with great food, great service and plenty of televisions to watch several ball games instead of one.” With the flat screen televisions set up around the lounge area, Taber explained at least three screens can be seen from any van-

tage point. However, Therapy offers more than just your typical ball park food. They also offer healthier alternatives including baked chicken wings instead of fried, and a variety of salads, wraps and paninis. “The food compliments the moment as far as sports viewing,” said Taber. “A healthier twist on the menu gears toward the lunch crowd and local business community. It seemed to translate into the happy hour crowd because then you get the best of both worlds with something for everyone that comes to the table.” The Nightclub portion of Therapy has also been revamped. Taber explained the club has gotten new lights and a new sound system for patrons enjoyment and designed for any kind of function. “We can create any kind of moment that any one wants,” said Taber. “If they want to do a private event, seminar or anything of that nature, the room can really change to their own format. The Nightclub portion of Therapy will be for those 21 and older and will be open Wednesday through Sunday. For special events Taber explained the menu will offer themed dishes and combinations of nachos and the hot dogs, and an upper deck give away can make any sports fan feel like an MVP.

internship By James A. King

Special to Denton Publications

nervously walked into the Westelcom building in downtown Plattsburgh not knowing it would one day change my life. I, James King of Port Henry, was able to work with Denton Publications as an intern through Upward Bound, a college preparation program. Working in the office in Plattsburgh, I worked with senior editor Jeremiah S. Papineau, editor Sarah L. Cronk, and intern Katherine Clark to better my writing skills and broaden my journalism horizon. During my time with Denton Publications, I learned many new things and improved my journalistic skills. I was exposed to the Associated Press writing style, shown several ways to create a headline, and formulate a catchy lead. These skills have already and will continue to help me as a writer. Not only was I taught journalism lessons, but life lessons as well. Gail Herman, an ac-

count executive with the company, not only taught me the basics of journalism, but also helped me adjust on the first day. Because of this, I am more able to socially adjust to new situations. She also helped me clean the office while the editors were in Elizabethtown, teaching me organizational skills I can use in all aspects of life. Interning at Denton Publications really changed my life. It helped further my passion for writing, even if it can be challenging sometimes. All four of the people I have worked with over the past five weeks, which spanned from July 6 until Aug. 5, have inspired me to further pursue a career in journalism. I could not thank them enough for the opportunity to further develop my skills as a journalist and more importantly a writer.

jeremiah@denpubs.com What started as three guys playing in bands back in their high school days has grown to be something quite chaotic, but a lot of fun. Professor Chaos has been performing since 2007, bringing together the talents of Adam Dobson, Chris Poulin and Aaron "The Mozdz" Mozdzier — musicians from the TriLakes area. Poulin, the band’s bass player, and Mozdier, the band’s drummer, had played in a band called The Atomic Playboys more than 10 years ago while Dobson was playing in a band called Ketchup Knife. “Our bands played some shows together at The Getaway [in Saranac Lake] and we all became friends,” said Dobson. Over the next eight years, each of the three went their own ways, playing with various other bands. It wasn’t until three years ago they reunited to “start a truly unique rock experience,” said Dobson. “We tossed around lots of different band names, but we ultimately settled on Professor Chaos,” explained Mozdzier, “because it was the first name that all three of us really liked, and we felt that it conveyed our attitude well.” The band began playing local bars in Saranac Lake, writing original material that was a mix of “hard rock, heavy metal, punk rock, classic rock and slapstick comedy,” said Poulin. “We're almost like a vaudeville variety show,” he said. “We've had people compare it to seeing stand-up comedy, with a little bit of rock tossed in.” Though Dobson calls the band’s sound “hard to define,” he said the philosophy being Professor Chaos is simple — to put on a great show. “There's more to playing a concert than playing an instrument,” said Dobson. “You have to keep people constantly entertained, which means you need to look good, sound good, be interesting and funny, and throw a lot of surprises into every performance, so

people never know quite what to expect when they come see us play.” Professor Chaos first played Plattsburgh a few years ago for a St. Patrick’s Day bash at the Monopole, the bar which became one of the band’s favorite places to play. “It's definitely worth the added travel time for us to come to Plattsburgh, because every show we've had there has rocked,” said Dobson. “People aren't afraid to come out and have a really great time.” Earlier this year, Professor Chaos released their debut CD, “Raging Semi.” The album, put together last year at Rockbottom Studios in West Chazy, was recorded and mixed by David "2 db" Blinn and co-produced with the help of Cloning Cooper's lead guitar player, Josh Clement, who played guitar on the album as well. “We did all the layout and design work ourselves, we spent a lot of time and money, but in the end we got an album that we're all very proud of,” said Dobson. “Dave Blinn did an amazing job capturing our unique sound, while adding his own personal touches here and there, which just took the whole feel of the album to a whole new level.” Professor Chaos just recently finished up their “Raging Summer” tour, which included performances at the I Love BBQ Festival in Lake Placid and The Warehouse Warzone show in Tupper Lake headlined by Green Jelly. Now, the band is in the process of booking more shows in the Plattsburgh and Burlington regions. “We'd definitely like to do something big at the end of this year, like a massive battle of the bands or something,” said Poulin. The band’s next show is at the Monopole, 7 Protection Ave., next Saturday, Aug. 21. Professor Chaos will play with Plattsburgh’s All the Rage. The show starts at 9 p.m. The three will also play the following weekend at Captain Cook’s Bar and Grill in Saranac Lake Saturday, Aug. 28, also starting at 9 p.m. (Editor’s Note: Professor Chaos can be found on Facebook and MySpace where a list of upcoming shows is posted.)
