CUOMO SIGNS ‘ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’ LEGISLATION

t the end of the 2014–15 school year, it was announced that Clinton Elementary School would part ways with its longtime school-age child care provider, the YMCA, in favor of the Clinton Early Learning Center (CELC), which recently relocated its operations from Hamilton College to the CCS campus. The shift has left some parents worried about the future quality of services and the motivations behind the shift. The Y has been providing on-site child care at Clinton Elementary School for 15 years. Concern from parents who have used the Y’s program in the past comes from the CELC’s inexperience with school-age students. “The CELC only offers toddler, preschool and pre-K programs,” said Alisa Abdoo Capponi, whose son has attended the Y’s afterschool program and summer camp program for two years. “They do not have any experience or staff to teach school-age kids.” The Y also provides child care services when CCS is closed during events like snow days at their home office in New Hartford. Danielle Trzcinski is the program director of the Y’s child care program, which provides before and afterschool supervision and activities to five other school districts in the area. The decision to switch providers in Clinton was not something her office was anticipating. “They really didn’t give us a good reason [for changing],” said Trzcinski. “I have been getting a lot of emails from parents who are very upset because we’ve been there for so long.” In a newsletter to parents last month, Elementary School Principal Steven Marcus explained the school's stance. “After hearing the similarities and differences, it was determined that going with a program that is already here for the entire day would be beneficial from an administrative and staff back-up standpoint,” the letter read. “Staffing longer hours vs. two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon will be somewhat easier and consistency is important.” Leading up to the decision to change services, the Elementary School held a meeting with both Y and CELC representatives, as well as four parents,

the downtown area with activity. “What kind of community would we be without events like Art Rocks, the Art and Music Festival, Shoppers’ Stroll and the parade?” said Betrus. “Isn’t that part of the wholesomeness of the community?” Betrus said he hates the word “retirement,” and since the announcement he’s been clear that leaving the Chamber doesn’t mean he’ll be leaving Clinton. Instead, he plans to focus his attention on a more specific initiative, reinvesting in the Village. Or, as he calls it, “planting the seeds for the next generation.” By serving on various economic and residential development boards in the region, Betrus has become aware of available state grants the Village could be taking advantage of. In less than five years, the state has appropriated $274 million to municipalities through the

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an affirmative sexual consent bill on July 7, which expands policies followed by public schools to all private colleges and universities in the state. The “Enough is Enough” policy says that for sex to be considered consensual there must be a clear affirmative agreement between both partners. Consent does not have to be given verbally, but if given by actions alone those actions must show clear permission. The bill also creates a victim’s bill of rights, amnesty for students who report cases of sexual violence, and details appeals processes that private colleges must adopt. Hamilton has already revised its policies based on federal mandates from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) in 2011 and the Violence Against Women Act of 1994. Hamilton’s current sexual assault misconduct policy follows federal guidelines and many of their policies already parallel what Cuomo has signed into law. Prior to the bill being signed, the College established a nearly identical definition of mutual consent, and they have outlined a list of rights for both the complainant and the responder in the case of a reported sexual misconduct occurrence. Hamilton College interim Title IX Coordinator Lisa Magnarelli said the College will adjust their sexual misconduct policy as required by Cuomo’s newly signed bill. “We will be making the adjustments necessary to be fully compliant with the new New York state legislation, which shares with the College the broad goal of providing constructive education and prevention programs, prompt and thorough response mechanisms

Changes on the Way For Chamber, Village

ehind the scenes at the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, a search committee has formed to find a replacement for Ferris Betrus Jr., the current executive vice president of the organization. It will be the first time in 12 years that the position will be available, and the Chamber hopes to fill it by early October. Betrus announced his plans to leave his position at the Chamber earlier this year. With a milestone birthday on the horizon, he has other things on his mind—traveling and spending winters in Florida, to name a couple. “I’m 70 years old in September, and it’s time I look at doing some things for myself,” he said. “There’s got to be someone out there who has fresh ideas. It’s time for me to leave.” The executive vice president of the Chamber serves an 11-member board. It’s a 20-hour-a-week position, but that schedule often stretches if you do the job right, Betrus said. The reward is a number of Village events that fill

Item Found at Post Office

Last week an item of value was found in the Clinton Post Office parking lot. If you believe you are missing something and it was possibly lost at the Post Office, the post master is requesting that you please contact them to claim your item. They will not be releasing further details on what the item is. The post office is open Monday–Friday, 8:30–10 a.m. and 11 a.m.–5 p.m., and Saturday, from 9 a.m.–noon.

A view of the unused building on Meadow Street, formerly owned and occupied by Nice N Easy Grocery Shoppes.

he Village Board has refused a request to settle a debt of more than $10,000 for water usage at the property that formerly served as the Nice N Easy Grocery Shoppe at 67 Meadow St. in Kirkland. A water bill in the amount of $10,575.65, dropped from $11,051.95 due to waived late fees, was charged to Nice N Easy Grocery Shoppes after a pipe burst for a billing cycle of only six months, Sept. 20–March 18. The Courier obtained a copy of the overdue bill, which lists the property’s water usage during this cycle at 242,700 cubic feet, an amount that could fill about 85 average-sized in-ground swimming

pools. The property was unoccupied at the time, leaving those involved only guessing at what point during the cold winter the pipe began to leak. Village officials said the pipe burst happened inside the property and was the result of the owner’s error, claiming the water was never turned off at the time of the business’s closing last fall when the electrical service was discontinued. Nice N Easy denies liability in the matter, though the company had offered to settle its debt for a lump sum of $5,000.

Reading over the responses people gave to our “Village Voices” question this week (see page 5), I considered some of my own favorite stories. One of my favorite books is “The Rum Diary,” a novel by Hunter S. Thompson, a story that isn’t the drug-drenched hellride people might expect from a writer who later created “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.” (Though, there is a fair share of rum and hamburger consumption.) Part of my love for this book is the motley crew in the story: a group of faulty and frenzied characters banding together around their collective hate for a particular reality. In this case, it’s the social order of San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s, and the power structure of The Daily News, where the main character, Paul Kemp, works. If you’ve only seen Johnny Depp’s film adaptation, make no mistake: the characters in the book were young, in their early 20s, and recklessly rebellious. I always enjoy a story of a loyal group of misfits. I like the idea of these outcasts banding together—not necessarily for the sake of a mission, but instead just for the sake of... well, banding together. It’s the same story that you get in 2009’s “Adventureland,” a film I have enjoyed on more than one occasion. Like “The Rum Diary,” the young characters in “Adventureland” are cornered by their lessthan-appealing surroundings—a summer job at a mom and pop amusement park—yet, they find camaraderie in their miseries. The cherished, but short-lived TV show “Freaks and Geeks”—in my opinion the finest thing to come out of Judd Apatow’s entire career—replaces a theme park with the woes of high school. It’s “The Breakfast Club”—the Island of Misfit Toys—told over and over again. Call me

a sucker, but I’m thoroughly engaged with it every single time. Another reason I love “The Rum Diary” is the accidental adventure story that seems to spiral out of what many book summaries refer to as a “drunken romp” of a plot. A young journalist travels from New York to a Caribbean island on a hair of a job prospect. There, he finds bar brawls, naked mermaids, voodoo, fighting chickens and at times, almost death. I’m not sure I would want to escape to that world, but it’s always fun to wander there from time to time on a rainy summer night, from within the comforts of an air-conditioned living room. Clinton might not have the tropical weather and party atmosphere of Hunter Thompson’s San Juan, but it could benefit from harnessing some of its youthful courage. Local governments and leadership groups with aging demographics are already finding themselves asking how to get more youth into the system. As time goes on, area organizations will only be as strong as the younger generation they are handed down to. Whether Clinton needs more youth is no longer the question. Instead, it’s “How can we get more of it?” Which, in what will surely prove to be a long, difficult process, is ultimately step one.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 2015

A recent conversation with some men my age somehow started with roller skates and led to the kind us kids used to attach to our shoes in the 1940s and 1950s. Talk continued with the mention of problems keeping the skates attached to our shoes and roller skate keys used to tighten the clamps. “I remember attaching the roller skate wheels to a 2-by-4 piece of lumber with a wooden orange crate on the front and wood handle bars to make a scooter,” someone said. My response was, “Did you ever make a Soap Box Derby-like racer?” “Yeah with baby carriage wheels.” And I had to add, “Me too!” It’s a wonder this conversation didn’t jump forward to some other homemade toy, but it didn’t. Instead, it abruptly ended with, “Kids don’t do that sort of thing anymore—they’d rather watch TV.” A typical seasoned comment trumpeted, “Times were different then.” We all nodded in agreement. Roller skates were like bikes, a vehicle to move around the neighborhood and beyond with freedom. Unlike those boot-attached roller skates that came later, earlier versions were a commercial product, with a flat platform made of metal somewhat in the shape of a foot. The platform was two pieces, connected by a small bolt to make the skate adjustable so as to fit different sizes.

Each side of the front had an adjustable metal bracket that the tip of the street shoe fit into and then tightened. Both of these adjustments were tightened by a skate key which was usually hung around the neck by a string or shoelace for boys and a ribbon for girls. A curved vertical metal piece on the back of the platform fit the heel of the shoe. Leather straps on each side of the heel plate came around the ankle and tightened to secure the entire shoe to the skate. Voila! You’re ready to take to the village sidewalks. Roller skating came easy for many of us because ice skating was so popular. The falls and accompanying bumps, bruises and black and blue marks were the same. Unlike commercial roller skates, homemade scooters made by kids with ingenuity, were copies of commercially made scooters. They started by finding any old, various length 2-by-4 piece of lumber. To this were attached the front and back pieces of a roller skate platform, two wheels in front, two wheels on the back of the 2-by4. Oranges were shipped in wooden crates 24 inches long, 12 inches high and 12 inches deep to form two 12-by12-inch compartments. Grocery stores would empty the crates of oranges and throw them away. We kids salvaged the better ones and by standing on end, make storage shelves for our bedrooms or for dad in the cellar and to make the front part of our scooter. We scooter engineers would also attach the orange crate vertically to the front of the 2-by-4. We mounted two identically cut pieces of smallwidth wood to its top on an angle to form a set of handlebars to help steer the scooter. Since the front wheels were secured to the 2-by-4, the scooter was steered by leaning the front orange crate left or right, a very inefficient method of changing direction and often resulted in broken parts. Braking was accomplished by dragging one’s foot. You’d take your chances going down a hill, either wear out your sneaker dragging it or run the risk of wrecking and injury that more often happened. It was homemade and it was fun. Ron Mac Lean moved to Clinton in 1941 at the age of 3. He graduated from Clinton Central in 1956 and married Gayle Edick in the Methodist Church on the park in 1963. He lived in the Clinton area until 1974, when he moved to Trumansburg, in the Finger Lakes, where he currently resides.

Hilary Lopata of Clinton placed fourth runner-up in the Miss New York State 1990 pageant last Saturday. She placed first in the preliminary swimsuit competition the preceding night. This season’s two top Little League teams, the Partlow Reds and the Horizon Jays, squared off July 6 in the championship game. The Jays, behind the strong pitching of Brian Grady, who went the distance and gave up only two hits while striking out 13 batters, won the game, 7-4. The Rev. Richard E. Barton has been named pastor of the Clinton United Methodist Church, effective July 1. He moved to Clinton from Phoenix, N.Y., where he had been pastor at the United Methodist Church for nine years. Hamilton College Assistant Professor of Anthropology Victoria Bernal has been granted a postdoctoral fellowship at the Harvard Divinity School. She will serve as a research associate and visiting professor in the Women’s Studies in Religion Program for the 1990-91 academic year.

Actual operation of the schools for the fiscal year 1965-66 can commence now that residents of the CCS district have given their approval of the budget. The budget passed, 592-520, last Tuesday. Governor Rockefeller recently vetoed the ACCES Bill, which would have provided for vocational education centers in the state. Vocational education still may be offered in the area, as Board of Cooperative Educational Services executives are meeting with officials of the state Education Department. The Barton House Company participated in the Fireman’s Field Days over the past weekend and won a second prize of $50. The marchers were accompanied by the Earlville Band. Last Friday was clay modeling day at the Clinton playground and, from the massive number of entries, the judges selected winners in a variety of age groups. The youngsters had themselves a real fine time, judging from the interest shown, and should be out en masse again tomorrow for the next contest.

Letters DWIGHT AVENUE RESIDENTS NEED FLOOD HELP TOO First of all, thank you for the article titled “Balancing the Stream,” which appeared in the June 24 edition, regarding the $423,000 being spent on flood mitigation work taking place between now and October along the Oriskany Creek north of College Street to Norton Avenue. As stated in your article, this work will affect residents living on Cleveland Place, Route 233 and Sanford Avenue. While it’s terrific that funds for this project were made available by Oneida County and Mohawk Valley Edge, I couldn’t help but wonder why the short stretch south of College Street to State Route 12B, where the Oriskany Creek parallels Dwight Avenue, was left out. Behind 32 Dwight Ave., we’ve lost 25 feet of land and a few dozen trees to the creek. After the flooding of 2013, only a few trees remain between the creek and a historic poultry barn that sits at the rear of our property. The barn was part of the former Howard Roberts Farm, and is featured in the book “Farms and Barns of Kirkland.” If the current rate of erosion continues, this piece of history could be lost to the creek within my lifetime. Time is running out to create the 20-foot buffer zone necessary to prevent further erosion. Representatives from the Oneida County Soil and Water District, whom The Courier reported is spearheading the work, along with representatives

from the DEC and the Town of Kirkland have visited my property and witnessed the extensive erosion taking place along the banks of the creek. At the time of their last visit, I was told I could plant vegetation on my own to try to slow the erosion. This proved to be nearly impossible due to the effects of past erosion which have rendered the banks vertical. Additionally, taking matters into our own hands would be quite costly. I chalked up our bad luck to be one of the few perils of living on the creek. After all, everyone living along the Oriskany Creek is in the same boat right? Not anymore. Last I checked, my tax dollars spend the same on both sides of College Street. It’s great to see the work that has already taken place along Sanford Avenue and behind the Town offices on Plank Road, but it’s disappointing that nothing is planned for Dwight Avenue. A terrific science fair project for a student at Clinton School would be to recreate what will happen when the downed trees that litter the creek along Dwight move downstream, get jammed under the College Street bridge and further erode properties on Dwight. Potentially, this could undo much of the work planned downstream, especially along Cleveland Place. In my opinion, it seems like a pretty big oversight. –Janet Clarey, Clinton

125 Years Ago July 23, 1890 Street Commissioner Gruman and his right bower, M. Fitzpatrick, accomplished a much-needed improvement in relaying and repairing the stone walk in front of the Barrows block. This strip of walk was about the first laid in the Village, nearly 20 years ago. Dr. J.G. Justin's new cannon, weighing 12 tons, has arrived at Canastota from Boston. The doctor will set it up on the site occupied by the old one in the Perryville Gorge, and the next dynamite test will be made in August. A meeting of the Town Board was called last week to consider the propriety of building a bridge across the ravine generally known as the North Gulf. The new bridge is estimated to cost about $1,000. A four-post derrick, 40 feet high, has been erected at the gas well on South Street, and boring was resumed yesterday morning by contractor Foley. It is the intention of Foley to work day and night until the work is completed.

Family Reading Time

By Sarah Schultz, Youth Services Librarian, Kirkland Town Library

hink about your reading habits. Do you set aside time to read every day? Do you enjoy reading? Does your child see you reading for pleasure? The answers to these questions could be an indicator of whether your child will enjoy reading or not. There are countless studies on the benefits of being a reader. For adults, these include increased intelligence and helping with relaxation. Studies are even showing that reading may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Summer reading is particularly crucial for school aged children. It has been proven that children who read during the summer are more prepared for the upcoming school year than those who do not. Reading exercises the brain and helps children retain the skills they have learned during the previous school year. Summer is the perfect time to get into the habit of reading as a family! How? Try reading a story aloud to the whole family. It is a great bonding experience and perfect for children of all ages. The “Scholastic Family Reading Report” from 2015 shows that 83 percent of children (ages 0–11) enjoy being read to aloud. When asked why, the main response was because it is a “special time with parents.” I have fond memories of listening to my dad read aloud to the whole family. It gave us something that we could all share and talk about together. I always looked forward to the time when we would sit in the living room and listen to my father read a chapter or two. Remember there are no fast and hard rules about family read alouds. You can have one person do the reading or switch readers every time. Read for 15 minutes or for an hour. Find what works best for your family and stick with it! Try these book suggestions for your family read alouds: Children ages 0-4: For this age range picture books work best. Some of my favorites include: “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt,” by Michael Rosen (Easy ROS)—This is filled with great onomatopes. “Dinosaur vs. Bedtime,” by Bob Shea (Easy SHE)—Your little one will love to roar along with Dinosaur. “Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!” by Candace Fleming (Easy FLE)—How can Mr. McGreely stop bunnies from eating his vegetables? Children ages 5-7: Besides picture books, easy readers and

short chapter books would also be appropriate with this age range. “Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night,” by Cynthia Rylant (ER RYL)— Part of the classic series, in this story Henry and his family go camping. “The Day the Crayons Quit,” by Drew Daywalt (Easy DAY)—A boy’s crayons have left letters to him about how he uses them. “The Velveteen Rabbit,” by Margery Williams (Dark Blue J Fiction WIL)— The classic story of a toy rabbit who becomes “real.” “Little House in the Big Woods,” by Laura Ingalls Wilder (J Fiction WIL)—The first book in the series where the family is still living in Wisconsin. Children ages 8+: Chapter books are fun to share! “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” by C. S. Lewis (J Fiction LEW)–Will it always be winter in Narnia? Or can Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy help Aslan defeat the White Queen and bring back summer. “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes,” by Eleanor Coerr (J 362.78 COE)—The story of a girl from Hiroshima diagnosed with leukemia who struggles to make a thousand paper cranes. “Martin the Warrior,” by Brian Jacques (J Fiction JAC)—The story of an enslaved warrior mouse and his fight for freedom. “Artemis Fowl,” by Eoin Colfer (J Fiction COL)—Artemis, a boy genius, and his butler capture a fairy to regain his family’s fortune. What happens when the fairies fight back? You also can’t go wrong by reading anything by the following authors: Roald Dahl (J Fiction DAH)—He is known for among others: “Matilda,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” and “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” Carl Hiaasen (J Fiction HIA)— Known for “Hoot” and his other stories that center on animal conservation.

VILLAGE VOICES

If you could live in any story that you’ve read, which would it be?

“I think it would be ‘Smiley’s People,’ by John le Carre. London and the MI6 real-world. Le Carre writes spy novels but he was in the counter-espionage service for England, and he writes these novels which are fairly detailed— and they’re about people. They are not the flashy James Bond stuff.” - Jim Anderson, Albany

“Probably Tolkien's universe. It’s just the way that he creates the world that he writes about. It’s very clear, very vivid. You can picture it pretty easily in your own head. He went so far as to even include maps in the front of his books that you can actually physically see where the story is taking place.” - Sean Brennan, Clinton

Readers from all over the area gathered under tents on the Village Green in search of books to add to their collections.

Book Sale Takes Over Village Green

“Maybe Harry Potter. I like the idea of fantasy realism. In a sense it’s fantasy but it’s also realism because it deals with the mundane day-to-day going to school and learning the magic—not just doing it. No one really does much magic they just have to do the grind.” - Jacob Bortner, Brooklyn

“I used to love ‘Little House on the Prairie,’ and I know that seems odd but I liked that. Simple living.” - Nicole Banghardt, Westmoreland

The Kirkland Town Library held its annual book sale on the Village Green from July 10–12. Local avid readers perused books of all kinds, from fiction to do-it-yourself and everything inbetween. Throughout the year people donate books to the Library and they are collected, sorted and stored as they come in. When the sale rolls around, all of the books are loaded onto trucks and brought to the Green. Clinton resident Richard Sheridan took home two bags full of different mystery novels from the sale. He said

the event is so popular because locals enjoy adding books to their collection at a low price. “I think it’s a great idea, you can see how popular it is,” he said. “People can’t wait to get here and browse through this stuff. Everyone loves a bargain—being a college town a lot of people like to read and learn new things. It’s a great combination.” According to early estimates by the KTL, at least 17,000 books were sold during the three-day sale.

Swimmers Take a Break to Create Art at Museum Written and Photographed by Mark Warren The Clinton Youth Foundation (CYF) began its partnership with the Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College on July 9. Children and parents who frequent the Jack Boynton Community Pool made the journey up to the Hill to

learn about art from the 1950s, when the Pool was founded. CYF board member and Clinton resident Victoria Davis teaches at New York Mills High School and she has brought her students to the Wellin Museum in the past. In an effort to

bring that experience to Clinton Pool goers, Davis and Amber Spadea, educator for School and Community Programs at the Wellin Museum, agreed on a partnership. Davis said the partnership provides something interesting and educational

for kids at the pool to do over the summer. “It was really just to provide outreach and activities for our students in Clinton, because at the moment we have the pool going on— which is great—but we don’t have a lot of other things,” she said. At the museum, the children looked at different realistic and abstract paintings from the ‘50s. After they learned about abstract art, they created their own abstract creatures on black construction paper with different colored crayons. Pool member Delphina Whittaker brought three of her children to the event. She said the partnership allows local youth to learn about art and their community. “I think the Clinton Pool collaboration is just fabulous,” Whittaker said. “That way the kids can look at the artwork, the pictures, they connect everything with their hometown.” Staff members from the museum will make two separate trips to the pool later in the month to bring art activities to children there. The dates for the two upcoming events are July 23 and 30 from 3–4 p.m.

Resident Artist Looking for Community Help Written and Photographed by Mark Warren

he Kirkland Art Center’s 2015 summer resident artist, Constance Denchy, is no stranger to undertaking community art projects. As a professional artist, she does site-specific residencies all over the country. Her process starts by getting to know the people in the area, composing a plan, and then putting that plan into action. Denchy’s latest project involves creating an outdoor multipurpose garden at the KAC, which can be used to display art, hold receptions and anything in between. Denchy was given a studio in the back of the Art Center to brainstorm and compose ideas. The garden space she is working with is a concrete floor behind the KAC, with a small section of woods nearby. Though only two weeks into her residency, Denchy said so far she has enjoyed scouting out the wooded area and building organic pathways. “For me, any project I do—if I can’t jump into it and feel like I’m five years old discovering a whole new world, it’s not worth me doing,” she said. “Having my hands back in the actual earth and dirt and branches is great. I’m like 7 years old and building an artist fort and looking for other artists to come play with me.” Her residency began on July 2 and since then she has been introducing herself to local residents, artists and business owners to get a feel for the personality of Clinton. For her first permanent outdoor project, her goal is to have the garden space reflect the community itself and not her own artistic ideas. A native of Long Island, New York, Denchy graduated with an Associates of Fine Arts from Munson-WilliamsProctor Arts Institute in 1985, and two

Constance Denchy was given a workspace as part of her summer residency at the KAC. years later she received her bachelor’s degree from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Now she lives in a suburb of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Along with meeting people around the Village, Denchy has also consulted the Clinton Historical Society to learn about the history of the area. She discovered that canning and knitting were the first two industries in Clinton, so she wants to incorporate those things in some way to the garden space. Denchy said as she has gotten to know the Village she’s realized it has a strong sense of identity. “When I walked around, this community is very progressive in its thinking—open in it’s thinking,” she said. “It has a strong understanding of who it is, if a community could be personified.” Denchy’s childhood involved moving

“There aren’t any bad ideas,” she said. “Whatever you have, you come to me, pitch it—we’ll find a space for it. What can you do? The sky's the limit.” Denchy’s KAC residency expires at the end of July, so she has several short term goals for the project. Within the next two weeks she’d like to recruit as many helpers as she can, while also creating an entrance with a visual focal point within the space itself. The long term goals will be handled by KAC Executive Director John Gardner and the Board of Directors. Denchy said her job is to simply lay the groundwork for the space and let the KAC advance the project as they see fit. “It can become whatever anybody wants—all I’m trying to do is ignite the possibility,” she said.

She feels that part of her youth helps her in her career today. At the moment, she is looking for anyone who is willing to contribute to the project. The Clinton Girl Scouts have already decided to add something unique to the space. Denchy said the scouts make colorful beadwork that she’d like to incorporate into the garden. Each person who joins in the effort is asked to bring one stone no bigger than their fist, which symbolizes their heart. At the end of her residency, Denchy hopes different rocks will be scattered throughout the multipurpose area to show how many people contributed to the creation of the garden.

Denchy coordinated a mural in Jessup, Pennsylvania, as part of her Rainbow String Theory project.

Restaurant Harvests Ingredients From Its Organic Garden Written and Photographed by Mark Warren

s seedlings grow too large for their small containers, Brian Mattison moves them from the humid confines of his greenhouse to the open air of his garden where they are able to spread their roots and stretch out their leaves. The greenhouse and garden sit behind Across the Row Bistro on East Park Row where Mattison is chef and owner. He is able to supply the restaurant with fresh herbs grown from seeds, which he says gives his food a quality that is tough to get anywhere else. Mattison opened Across the Row in March of 2013, and in the summer of 2014 he added on two garden patches and built a small greenhouse as a hobby to work on. Today, that hobby has expanded into being a key part of his cooking. Mattison said growing his own ingredients makes him more invested in what he creates with those herbs in the kitchen. “It incorporates the freshness element that I couldn’t get any other way and it keeps my head in the game—I look forward to getting back into the kitchen and working with those things that now I’ve grown from scratch,” he said. “It’s like nurturing something, I guess. You see it come from some seeds and dirt two months ago and now I’m able to buzz down there, chop it and put it in.” Mattison said he can produce nearly every herb he needs in his recipes by himself. He grows fresh parsley, basil, oregano, cilantro, coriander, sage and

more. As far as vegetables, green peppers and tomatoes are developing in the garden. Mattison also has plans to use nasturtiums—edible flowers that have a tangy, peppery taste—in the future. The gardens’ fencing is made from twisted branches that were taken from the wooded area behind the restaurant. Repeat customers tend to notice the difference in the freshness of the food, even if they can’t quite put their finger on it, according to Mattison. He said people may not know that they’re eating all fresh herbs, but something positive keeps them coming back. The idea that a living plant can be harvested and added to a recipe almost immediately separates plates that are made with dried herbs out of a can, Mattison said.

“There isn’t anything like if somebody orders something that has fresh basil in it and when the ticket comes in I go down the stairs to the garden and snip a few leafs and bring them back up,” he said. “It’s as fresh as it gets.” The garden and the greenhouse are not functional during the winter months, but in February the seedlings in the latter can start to grow ever so slowly as the sun’s rays get trapped within the structure. Throughout the entire process, the plants aren’t exposed to chemicals of any kind, which is something Mattison is adamant about. Even the soil he uses is completely organic with no added growth chemicals. “I think it’s natural to use the best and cleanest and greenest ingredients

that you can in everything you cook,” Mattison said. As far as future expansions, the wooded area behind the restaurant may be used in the future as a place to grow mushrooms. The steep slope would have to be altered and steps would need to be added for the space to be usable first, however. Mattison also wants to build a smoker to add even more possibilities to his menu in the future, and he has plans to build a trellis on the right side of the restaurant to create a border while also providing another area for plants or flowers to grow. Mattison will be giving a tour of his garden setup and the flowers around his property as part of the Clinton Garden Club’s yearly event on July 18 from 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Bierstine Joins the Staff at Indium

Colleen Bierstine By Kaitlin Meier The Indium corporation has added a new employee to its corporate headquarters in Clinton. Colleen Bierstine, of Clinton, has been hired as a marketing communications Specialist. In this position, she will be responsible for coordinating Indium Corporation’s global trade show program. A graduate of CCS, Bierstine went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in public relations from Utica College in 2015, where she was also named salutatorian of her class. She had previously worked in Utica College’s Office of Marketing and Communications as a public relations intern, which gave her experience serving as a link between the school and the media. She also managed social media accounts and was a student blogger for the college. Indium Corporation is a materials manufacturer and supplier to the global electronics, semiconductor, solar, thin-film and thermal management markets. The company was founded in 1934.

Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council. In the immediate area, the Town of Kirkland was the first to benefit from these funds for a sewer expansion project engineering study along Robinson Road. With the assistance of Nelson Associates Architectural Engineering in Clinton, Betrus came up with a $3 million proposal to rejuvenate the downtown Clinton area. The process is multi-faceted and will first involve securing the funds for a complete engineering study of the area, a cost estimated at $50,000. Last week, the Village Board approved a $1,500 expense for the grant writing to secure the funds for the engineering study. At this point, the final $3 million project is open to interpretation, though improvements such as new sidewalks along West Park Row and College Street, burying power lines, an additional parking lot, a tree-planting program for the Village Green, and renovations to sewer lateral lines have been suggested. Betrus noted similar improvements that have been accomplished in the Village of Hamilton, New York, and the City of Rome. Built into the $50,000 study is $5,000 of funding to host planning meetings with concerned parties—shop owners, residents, officials, et cetera—to determine which improvements are most crucial and most urgent. “We need to look at this,” said Betrus. “We need to invest now so we have a good community in 20 years.”

to come to a consensus of the best approach moving forward. Following the decision, however, several parents siding with the Y feel there was a potential conflict of interest in the decision with Amy Burns-Franz, the CELC’s executive director, sitting on the Clinton Central School District's Board of Education. While the Board of Education was not directly involved in the decision, Board President Mary Lou Lauchert said it was aware of the potential change during the decisionmaking process and will likely pass a resolution regarding the change in the near future. For Y parents like Laura Hoadley, who weren’t involved in the Elementary School’s consensus meeting, the greatest frustration has been a lack of communication. “A teacher whose son is in the [Y] program ... wasn't even told about it,” said Hoadley. “I personally feel this was kept secret from the parents ... How come it was not an open forum?”

maintains that “the Village failed to mitigate its damages, or otherwise detect the massive water loss as could have reasonably been expected.” According to Dale Jewell, superintendent of Department of Public Works for Clinton, the Village has no way of detecting major leaks on an individual property other than its regular, twice-a-year meter readings that happen in late September and March. “We’re working on a new system in the future that we might be able to [detect these leaks], but it’s going to be 10 years before that can happen,” said Jewell. “We don’t see it ... unless it’s a huge break.” O’Leary’s letter also states that the Village’s bill total “includes a number of days during which my client did not own the property.” The property was sold to Clinton Tractor & Implement, which owns land surrounding the Meadow Street and Franklin Avenue corner and had planned to rent the building to a retailer-type business. During the incident, the structure suffered significant damage. At this time, Clinton Tractor does not plan to take any legal action of its own. Unlike the Village of Clinton, Kirkland property owners using Village water, as is the case with the former Nice N Easy location, are responsible for any water line breaks from the water main all the way into their building. Because of where the pipe burst happened, beyond the property’s water meter, said Jewell, the loss during the leaks is the responsibility of the property owner.

CUOMO (continued from page 1) and transparent investigation and resolution procedures,” she said. A total of $10 million has been set aside to aid various entities in meeting compliance. $4.5 million will go toward rape crisis centers for students, the state police will receive the same amount to create a sexual assault victims unit and the final $1 million will be to aid colleges and universities in training and implementation. Between 2008–2012, 24 forcible sex offenses were reported at the College.

The Boilermaker: An Ultimate Test in a Rigid Training Schedule Written and Photographed by John Howard

ore than 11,000 runners participated in the 38th annual Boilermaker 15K race. For many local road runners, it was the main event of their summer, but for college-level runners, it was just a single task on a long-term training itinerary. Adam Bankert, a 2012 graduate of Clinton Central School, is approaching his senior year running track and cross-country for the St. Lawrence University Saints. Last weekend marked his third Boilermaker. The day before this year’s race, Bankert competed in a triathlon. He said he was going to “take things easy” during both events, but with his offseason training requiring as many as 50 miles per week, the back-to-back race lineup isn’t as absurd as it may seem to a casual runner. Summer races, Bankert admitted, are usually a rarity for collegiate runners, and Sunday’s 15K run was very much a stepping stone of his offseason. For student-athletes recruited to run, the important competition happens during the school year. It would be an unnecessary risk for runners to push themselves too hard in a race that, career-wise, doesn't mean anything. That includes the Boilermaker. “It’s a harder day of training, but it’s still training,” said Bankert. Still, college runners registered their fair share of impressive times. Bankert crossed the Boilermaker finish line in under an hour, with a net time of 58:25. Jack Yaworsky, another CCS alumnus, who graduated after Bankert and now runs for Vassar College, finished this year’s Boilermaker with a time of 54:31. It was his fourth

Boilermaker and the time was a personal best. He was also the first Clinton runner to finish the course. Yaworsky said he will get up to 70 miles per week in his training by the end of the summer. Aside from earning a PR, the Boilermaker was extra special for him, serving as a confidence booster coming off a series of injuries. During the 2014–15 school year, Yaworsky was a freshman, but he missed nearly all of his team’s competitions. He was sidelined after stepping on a rock, fracturing his foot, during cross-country season. Then, problems with the IT band in his knee kept him benched for the spring track season. The Boilermaker was the first race he had run in more than 10 months. “I didn’t have that base of a couple seasons of running going in, so I wasn’t sure how it was going to go,” said Yaworsky. “It’s a good indication for me that I’m getting back into shape, so I’m pretty excited.” Injuries are not an uncommon occurrence for these athletes putting their bodies to the test every day. In her first year after being recruited to run Division I cross-country and track for Colgate University, CCS alumna Haley Allen struggled to stay healthy, first suffering from mononucleosis (mono), then Achilles tendinitis, and then shin splints. “It’s hard because I want to be training hard and running and I kind of have to hold back,” Allen said before the race. “I’m excited about this year. As long as I can stay uninjured, I think it will be a really good year.” Like Bankert, Allen ran her third Boilermaker this year, finishing with a time of 1:11:30, good for 19th place in

Jack Yaworsky (front), a member of the CCS Class of 2014, runs near the seven-mile mark of the Boilermaker 15k course. Yaworsky finished the race in 54:31, a personal best. her division. Most satisfying for Allen this year, though, was being able to share her Boilermaker tradition—a tradition she remembers participating in first as a spectator for her parents—with two of her Colgate teammates from Massachusetts, who ran the race for the first time this year.

For Allen, Yaworsky and Bankert, and many others like them, the Boilermaker is less about competition and more about a celebration of the sport. “I consider this a home race because it’s local. Everyone I know is there,” said Yaworsky. “It’s very special because the whole community shows up and is supporting it.”

Following World Cup Win, Young Athletes Look Up to Women’s Team By Mark Warren

he United States Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) made history as they won their third FIFA World Cup by defeating Japan 5–2 on July 5. The team hadn’t won the World Cup since 1999, and the contest was the most watched soccer game in American television history. The convincing win has given the team a lot of media exposure, which is having an effect on soccer as a whole— even down to the local level. Coach Megan Huckabone is involved in the Perry Nizzi Summer Soccer Camp at Clinton Central School. She said even some of her younger players have already taken to idolizing certain members of the USWNT. “We have girls write, like, 'I love Abby [Wambach]' or 'I love Carli Lloyd' on their balls,” Huckabone said. “I wouldn't have known any players by name when I was five or six. No way.” Clinton graduate

Hannah Shankman is entering her sophomore season as a defender for Binghamton University. She said depending on their position, girls can look at the various players on the USWNT and model their game after them. “I think what’s so great about the team is that all these players are absolutely amazing and they play at such a high level,” Shankman said. “Each girl who watches them play can pick out someone that they want to emulate and be like. So depending on your position there’s superstars on every line on the field.” Despite their success and the fanfare following the squad’s victory, the USWNT earned a fraction of the funds that last year’s men’s World Cup victors made. This year’s US team was awarded $2 million to split between each other, while the German men’s team was given $35 million for winning the FIFA World Cup in 2014. As for salaries, the National Women's

With the Women’s National Soccer Team victory in the FIFA World Cup, many younger athletes are looking up to the team as role models. Soccer League has set minimum salaries this season at $6,842, which is roughly nine times less than what male players in Major League Soccer earn. Beth Baker, varsity girls soccer coach at

Clinton, said she hopes the win will bring to light the gender pay gap issue in women’s soccer. “It’s disgusting,” she said. “You see the disparity among the salaries and you wonder ‘What is FIFA doing?’

Where is the fairness there? What message is that sending? I’m not sure it’s a very good one.” Hamilton College will be holding an AllAmerican Soccer Camp from July 19–23 for boys and girls between ages

COMMUNITY HITS THE LINKS TO BENEFIT CCS

The Clinton Central School District (CCSD) Foundation held their 18th annual golf tournament on July 13 where 80 golfers tried their hand at the 18-hole course at the Skenandoa Golf Club. Funds generated support the CCSD Foundation, which goes toward improving the education of CCS students by adding to the District’s budget. Each four-person team was assigned a starting hole and the tournament began with a shotgun start. As far as game guidelines, the tournament was

a scramble, meaning as each player on a team takes a shot, the best one is chosen as a point of continuation for everyone else— regardless of where they may have hit their ball. This process continues with each round of shots until the hole is completed. The weather for the event was sunny as usual. Mark Kowalczyk, a member of the tournament’s planning committee, said the beautiful weather they enjoy each year is almost eerie. “I’ve been chairing for the past seven years and

we’ve had a day like this every single time. It’s kind of weird,” he said. After every team finished, a prime rib dinner followed. Prizes were awarded and a raffle was held. In the men’s division, the team of Bill Owens, John Taranto, Billy White and Jeremy Hearn took first place with a round of 60. In the mixed division, Tom Snizek, Jackie Snizek, Gary Nelson and Shane Hennessey took first place with a score of 59. The longest drive for the men was by Shane Hennessey, and Jennie Hughes took it for the women. Tom Snizek won the putting competition.
