Downtown business leaders form alliance

By Katherine Clark PLATTSBURGH „ Downtown business owners are taking the vitality of the city into their own hands in a grassroots effort to make the city center a destination.

Around 20 people from several Plattsburgh businesses gathered at the Champlain Wine Company, 8 City Hall Place, for their second official Downtown Association meeting on June 27. ñ We want to create an atmosphere to help revitalize the downtown,î said Colin Read, owner of the Champlain Wine Company, prior to the meeting. ñ We donÍ t want to focus on taxes or city practices; we want to focus on creating a fun place for visitors to come.î Right now, Read said the businesses that are thriving are accounting, law and other kinds of firms. Though these businesses are important for the city, he said they are not businesses people travel from out of town to visit. ñ There are still a few open storefronts here. It would be great for people to come and find a niche that is missing here and build a business,î said Read.

The Association members decided to focus initial efforts on the First Weekend celebrations and to creating a map to outline

Clinton County Fair Manager Glenn Gillespie said there will be non-stop fun kicking off with opening day. ñ Tickets will be half price at opening day, and there will be free parking, free grandstand entry, an evening fireworks show and carnival rides will be free from noon to 1 p.m.,î said Gillespie.

Major highlights for the fair will be the animals, entertainment, rides and horse shows.

NYC: Is bigger really better? Independence Day celebration N T

ew York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was ecstatic last week, announcing that the cityÍ s population had swollen to an all-time high of 8,336,697 as of mid-2012 Census Bureau estimates. ñ ThereÍ s no better indication of the strength of our city than a record high population and a net population influx,” crowed Bloomberg. “People are voting with their feet.î I donÍ t mind a little civic boosterism from time to time, but not when it represents a toxic failure to balance multiple values. For 11 years now, this mayor — whom the docile New York press corps often portrays as a refined and elegant patron of the arts „ has acted based on a crude, one-dimensional philosophy: bigger is better.

In general, the mayor remains completely dissociated from the many negative consequences already arising from the cityÍ s population ñ boom,î let alone those that would plague us if the Bloomberg administration’s 2006 projection of the city’s population in 2030 (9.1 million) were realized.

As a life-long New Yorker, I’m not looking for a quiet, rural retreat. But I donÍ t think that city life is supposed to generate an unrelieved state of crowding and noise. And, you canÍ t walk in popular New York City neighborhoods, take the subway, or drive a car without realizing very quickly that life here is distinctly more crowded and noisy than it was just 10 years ago.

Very simply, packing more people into this city creates a variety of intensifying pressures.

Were there sufficient political will, some of these pressures could be resolved with policy changes: greater funding for mass transit, for example (the mayorÍ s sensible but unsuccessful effort to implement congestion pricing to reduce the number of cars streaming into Manhattan business districts would have helped, too). But political will has long been lacking, and, just as critically, many pressures of a growing population are not susceptible to resolution.

Housing is Exhibit A. As landlords and developers have continued to get carte blanche to convert middle-class housing into luxury housing (and to build ultra-luxury housing often owned by those who donÍ t actually call New York their home), the housing crisis for middleand working-class New Yorkers has intensified throughout Mayor BloombergÍ s tenure. And that doesnÍ t even include the more than 50,000 New Yorkers who are homeless.

What does population increase do? It makes that crisis worse, forcing even more people to chase fewer affordable apartments. That is not a supply-and-demand formula that is friendly to any families other than those who move in

Bloomberg circles and who can wall themselves off (at least until they find themselves in an emergency room, where, even at the cityÍ s best hospitals, staff is overwhelmed by „ population again „ an ever-growing number of people seeking their services).

Take a look at parks. For anyone who is serious about the quality of urban life, the importance of adequate park space canÍ t be overstated. New York has well-known jewels in its park system, but the system as a whole not only lacks resources, it simply doesnÍ t provide enough park for each New Yorker. A growing New York population means that parkland per capita goes down (just at a moment when existing parkland is being eyed jealously for its potential housing development potential).

And what about schools? Some current problems (including the problem of overcrowding) would be mitigated if New York State complied with a court decision that stated the state needed to remedy the funding formula by which it historically shortchanged New York City schools.

But, with or without that help, large numbers of new students in a still-growing city would almost certainly overtax the best-faith efforts to recognize and overcome the enormous existing problems of the cityÍ s school system, even were such efforts brought to bear.

It really is quite striking: this globe-trotting mayor has seemingly never thought about (let alone has caused to be studied) the public health consequences of a growing New York City population. Nor has he examined any alternatives to his vision: How could a stable population not only sustain New York City, but also help it thrive for more of its residents than it has in the past? How could smaller be better? How could we cooperate with neighboring jurisdictions instead of just beating our chest as the biggest and best?

And he has apparently failed to do so even though he often does take a public health perspective in other contexts. The Bloomberg administration, for example, recently unveiled a new public education campaign targeting teen pregnancy, and defended that controversial but factually accurate campaign on the grounds that it sends an important message that ñ teen pregnancy has consequences „ and those consequences are extremely negative, life-altering, and most often disproportionately borne by young women.î Broader population trends, too, can be extremely negative, city altering, and disproportionately borne by those with the least resources.

‘New Normal’ in College Cost

T

here was a time not too long ago when it was possible to work your way through college with only minimal loans at the completion of your degree. I know this to be true because I was able to do this as were many of my contemporaries.

There were also many more state and federal financial supports than there are now in the way of grants. In addition to rising college costs, American median household income has declined to compound the difficulty in financing a college education. The convergence of these developments has contributed to a gathering financial storm that may soon begin to dampen the economic fires that have been lifting the national economy.

There seems to be little hope that there will be a reinvestment by states in higher education any time soon, instead, students and families will be expected to shoulder even more expense going forward.

This ï new normalÍ could also further imperil the economy as college graduates delay making major purchases such as new cars, homes or other major purchases as they begin to pay off college loans that in some instances are over $100,000 and climbing as interest piles up. In 2001, state and local per full time student support reached their zenith at $8,670.00.

Currently student support per full time student is $5,896.00.

Colleges seem to be ignorant of these nationwide developments as tuition continues to increase at unsustainable rates. Over the last ten years community college expense has risen by 40 percent while tuition at a four year public college has increased by 68 percent. In that same decade, median household income fell by almost 10 percent as more Americans suffered under the recession or economic malaise.

Now, there are more Americans living in poverty than at any other time since accurate records have been maintained. According to some sources, the aggregate of all student loans is approaching one trillion dollars. The households with the lowest incomes are shouldering the most debt as families in the lowest income quintile at 24 percent are over twice that of any other income quintile. To compound the difficulty, many college graduates are unemployed or underemployed.

In 2013, the Center for College Affordability and Productivity found that 48 percent of college graduates are employed in jobs where a college degree is not required and 38 percent are employed where a high school diploma is not required. For example, in 1970, 1 percent of taxi drivers had college degrees now 15 percent do.

One need not be an accountant to surmise what is and will continue to happen; students are defaulting on their college loans. In 2004, the rate of college debt default was 9 percent, today that rate has risen to 17 percent and many indicators suggest that the default rate could rise to over 50 percent.

On July 1, the interest rate on student loans is scheduled to re-

www.northcountryman.com turn to 6.8 percent if congress does not act to keep interest rates lower. Senator Elizabeth Warren has suggested that college students should be allowed to borrow money at the rate that big banks borrow it at from the Federal Reserve, 0.75 percent.

Warren suggested that investing in those large banks is no more important than investing in the minds that will lead the nation one day.

If there is no relief for college students fewer students will

By Scot Hurlburt attend a university just as it was many years ago.

There was a time in America where only the affluent could attend college because they were the only ones that could afford it. If this is the course that develops I am afraid that our country will pay a heavy price for this decision. In the early seventies, if I am recalling it correctly, there were a variety of television commercials in support of funding African American college students; I believe the tag line was, ñ a mind is a terrible thing to waste.î Perhaps those commercials will resurface again, not in support of a particular disadvantaged group but rather all Americans who cannot pay for college out of pocket.

I hope that I am wrong and that the government will provide relief to students and their families just as it did for the major corporations that received a bailout. It is difficult to imagine that our political leadership will allow our country to take what would be a giant step backward.

J

ust as predicted, the sun has come out and so have the hip people of Plattsburgh! Advice has been at a premium at FREE ADVICE NIGHTS, because people are excited about sharing what makes life in Plattsburgh great.

A personal favorite of ours, JOSH KRETSER, has been excitedly planning the CCC Foundation Fundraiser, Dinner with the Mob. As always, his imagination and creativity really make his events magnificent. A huge supporter of community development and involvement, JOSH is the Democratic Party Candidate for Ward 6. This is one guy who makes things happen!

Want advice from a pro? Ask KATHY CHURCH; our calm, cool and uber-wise friend who has experienced life with humor and style. An experienced teacher, she has guided students from 2nd grade to middle school to see life lessons in every moment and can certainly give advice that is practical and heartwarming.

ROB MEISENHEIMER AND GEORGE HUBBELL added some ñ colorî to the scene on City Hall Place, discussing Pool Rescues and World Travel.

Sometimes we get a ñ race track rumbleî on City Hall Place, but we actually had an Airborne Speedway star stop by to talk about his victory dance, the wild boogey, that he performs on his car roof after every race. DENNIS BARCOMB, #76, is enthusiastic and proud to be the son of a stock car driver and carrying on the family tradition.

ELLIOTT DAUGHERTY and BRITTANY GALBRAITH are the young and creative energy of PlattsburghÍ s future. Their latest hype is about an upcoming, still in the planning stages, project combining culinary education, sustainable food movements and art. Stay tuned.

The ï girlsÍ of AMERICORPS and MEADOWBROOK HEALTH CARE joined up to share some wine and great advice on service, education and aging. A breath of fresh air, AMERICORPS members shared their enthusiasm on why they joined the program and where they will be headed after their year of service. Agreement was mutual on why they joined; involvement in community, taking a ñ gap yearî to decide on their next career

Business Alliance

are at my business waiting to get their car worked on, they can see the different shops downtown,î said Bill Ferris, owner of Big Apple Audio on Durkee Street.

Ferris said one of the best types of advertisement would be for the businesses to promote each other. ñ People downtown tend to walk,î said Ferris. ñ People come downtown for a local experience, going to Walmart and the mall arenÍ t local experiences.î Business maps would have the name of the business with a small blurb to describe the products or food available there. The maps could lead people down new streets they have never explored in downtown Plattsburgh. Currently there are business maps provided by the City Recreation Department and several information kiosks downtown, but an expanded map could tell people more about their downtown. ñ WeÍ re not going to compete with the mall, people who want to shop at a bargain and compare at chain stores,î said Read. ñ Here we want to host a leisurely dining, music and shopping experience.î Through First Weekend, the members of the alliance are hoping to attract people to investigate all the downtown has to offer.

Members of the association are asked to offer a 10 percent discount to patrons who attend businesses on Friday and return

again on Saturday during First Weekend.

The next First Weekend is scheduled for July 5 and 6. The series is scheduled to continue with events in August and September. ñ We expect about two dozen businesses will be offering discounts for the First Weekends,î said Read.

In order for the association to be successful, there must be a combined effort with members not only talking about changing but stepping up to do the leg work, he said. ñ We all take pride in our downtown. I think hopefully others will join in and theyÍ ll look around and say what a beautiful downtown,î said Adirondack Soup Company Owner Laura Dominianna.

Dominianna said in recent years she has noticed a social change in the community. In the past, flower boxes were destroyed or had the flowers ripped out. But today, she feels confident leaving her flowers hanging outside her business. ñ Maybe there is a little change going on in this community,î said Dominianna. ñ IÍ m hopeful that it will continue and we will be able to beautify our streets and our downtown.î

Saranac Heritage Farm to kick off with music at Summerfest

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com SARANAC „ Three young farmers hope to welcome summer and people to the Saranac Memorial Farm for its first Summerfest on July 6.

The summer get-together will be held in the valley off of 100 Plumadore Road in Saranac.

Farm owner Paul Herbold, along with Noah

LaPoint and Stewart Strader, started farming the land off the New Land trust about a year ago, laying the foundation for something bigger to grow. ñ WeÍ re laying plans and planting in the ground at this point,î said LaPoint.

The festival will be held in a valley off Plumadore Road with ample space for tents and camping, a stage where visitors can watch a variety of musical performances, and a stone

labyrinth people can try out.

The farm is a combined effort, following organic practices, growing greens and a variety of fruit on a portion of the 270-acre land.

Herbold said the land had been vacant for three years before he heard about it. After living in Saranac for years, he said he could see the potential and wanted to try to make something at the farm. SHF is a community based project in an area with both natural beauty and rich history in agriculture. Herbold said the trio is dedicated to learn and promote sustainable practices in farming and land management in order to return to a more healthy and balanced way of life.

The trio promotes the buy local initiative by selling produce to NoriÍ s Village Market in Saranac Lake, the North Country Co-op in Plattsburgh and other local stores. ñ We are really in the beginning stages of cultivating this farm into being more,î LaPoint said. ñ WeÍ re learning as we go, whereas farmers used to learn from their fathers and grandfathers. What we’re doing is a reflection of the young farmersÍ movement. Every year we are going to strive to be bigger and grow more and more.î Inspired by the Poobah Festivals that were once hosted at the New Land Trust, the Summerfest will bring music and guests to the farm.

Poobah Festival was a three-day music festival was held for many years at the farm, but it hasnÍ t been held for at least four years.

The festivities will begin with a potluckstyle cookout at 2 p.m. which will run through the day. Music will include performances by Adrian Aardvard at 5 p.m., Lucid at 7 p.m., and Kimberly LeClaire will light up the meadow with poi performances creating an optical show

Area musicians can bring their instruments to play acoustic performances throughout the night. Herbold said he expects at least 200 guests for the festival and invites people to stay the night. ñ We have a lot of room for tents in the valley and people can stay after,î said Herbold. ñ ItÍ s a festival for everyone. We want to kick off the summer with good people and want this festival to be family friendly.î There are few rules for the festival, including no dogs or other animals and no campfires.

Herbold said once visitors get the Plumadore Road, there will be signs and LED lights directing them where to park and how to get to the valley on the day of the festival.

Admission is a suggested $10 donation.

NCCCA to host Camp Boyfriend book party

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Two local writers will unveil their first book, ñC amp Boyfriend,î a new young adult series, at a special camp-themed party at the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, 23 Brinkerhoff St., on July 15.

The book is written by J. K. Rock, aka the combined pen name for sister-in-law authors Karen and Joanne Rock. J.K.’s book is the first of a three-part series released on July 2, and the book party will be held on July 15. The camping party will go from 5 to 7:30 p.m., ending with a book signing and reading by the two authors.

Joanne Rock is an award winning Harlequin author with more than 60 titles to her credit. This is the first book written by her sister-in-law, Karen Rock. Karen will debut her first Harlequin solo release in September 2013 with “Wish Me Tomorrow.”

Karen, an eighth grade teacher at Stafford Middle School in Plattsburgh, said she was both inspired by her sister-in-lawÍ s writing and by her students. ñI t doesnÍ t even seem real that a book I wrote will be published,î said Karen. ñE specially as a teacher, I am constantly reading so I can suggest books for my students and it is great to think kids the same age as my students will be reading this.î Camp Boyfriend follows the pairÍ s release of the bookÍ s prequel, ñC amp Kiss,î w hich was released online earlier this year. ñO ne of the great things about our writing is we write very fast and weÍ ll have novellas between the books,î said Karen. ñO ur prequel novella was a chance to introduce our characters and the scene to the readers before they committed to reading our series.î The story follows young Lauren, who is introduced as a “nerdy” girl with braces at age 14 who knows every constellation in the sky. ñC amp Kissî walks the reader through LaurenÍ s awkward first kiss with Seth and introduces a character she really likes and wants to be her boyfriend. Karen said ñC amp Boyfriendî will jump forward two years when Lauren is 16 and things have dramatically changed with Seth only being her boyfriend at camp.

“Lauren moved from Upstate New York to Texas. She was lonely and though she misses Seth, she dates a popular boy in Texas named Matt,î said Karen. ñWh en it is time for Lauren to go back to camp, she is ready to dump Matt and ask Seth to be her boyfriend through the end of the summer.

The love triangle becomes more tangled when Lauren tries to dump Matt. He shocks her by showing his true feelings for her and decides to join her at camp. ñI tÍ s a pretty strong love triangle,î s aid Karen.

As a teacher, Karen said she has always enjoyed finding the right book for her students to get them excited about reading.

When a kid finds the right book, she said it opens up a whole new world for them. One of her greatest compliments as a writer came from her publisher. ñI tÍ s ironic that my publisher has a little sister who hated reading,î said Karen. ñB ut one day when my editor brought home an

unedited manuscript of the book, her little sister stole the book and refused to give it back till she was done reading it.î The young girl had locked herself in the bathroom and refused to return the book and sent her sister text messages while locked away about how much she liked the book. ñI t really touched my teacherÍ s heart to have captivated her that way,î s aid Karen.

The book follows universal themes of acceptance and finding who you are despite your surroundings.

“Joanne and I talked for a long time about writing a book,” Karen said. ñO ur styles and voices are similar, and our aesthetics are similar. We were interested in writing a coming-of-age story and wanted a situation where our character had a lot of room to grow. ñB oth of us having gone to summer camp knew it was the perfect bubble of a world without the help of a dedicated parent our characters have to make decisions for themselves. In our book, Lauren changes but not in a way sheÍ s proud of. She becomes more popular but wants to still be the person who is admired for being smart and not being a cheerleader.î The J.K. Rock duo created the book to reflect the struggles and joys of adolescence and to show young adults they donÍ t have to choose to be the person everyone wants them to be.

“When you’re young, you define yourself by who you hang out with, we wanted to show through our book there are different options,î said Karen. ñI see a lot of kids that have been in my class trying so hard to fit in and as an adult you see a different perspective and hope to show them they can be whoever they want to be.î The ñC amp Boyfriendî party will be a fun camp-like experience filled in two hours. For treats, campers will make their own desserts at the sÍ mores bar. Plus, there will be a make-your-own trail mix station and bug juice.

Each camper will receive an autographed book, an ñI Love Camp Boyfriendî T-shirt, crafts and will take part in a color wars game. Campers will also be entertained by a local folksinger who will lead sing-a-longs with the campers, ghost storytelling, and the authors will give a reading from their new book. ñW e want it to feel like a real camp experience,î said Karen. ñA nyone who doesnÍ t want to participate in the party but would like to come for the reading and signing are more than welcome to come.î There will be extra books available for purchase the night of the event. ñW e cordially invite the public to come to a reading and open book signing beginning at 7:30 p.m. After the event, our books will be available at online retailers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and locally at Corner Stone Bookshop,” said Joanne Rock.

The prequel to the second book, ñC amp Christmas,î will be released in December. Book two, ñC amp Paybackî is set to be released in April 2014. Prequel to the final book, “Camp Crush” will be released next summer and the final installment, “Camp ForgetMe-Not” will be released in August 2014.

The ñC amp Boyfriendî party will be $20 per person. Visitors

who would like to hear the book reading and attend the signing are invited to join the festivities at 7:30 p.m.
