Champlain poised to celebrate anniversary

This Week SISTER DEBBIE BLOW

By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — The town of Champlain will celebrate its 225th anniversary on Aug. 17, with events planned throughout the village and town of Champlain.

The all-encompassing celebration will be held to honor the birth of the town of Champlain, the founder who helped established both the town and Clinton County as well as famous activists who established an abolitionist movement in the Canadian — United States border town. It will also be a day filled with plain old family fun.

“When you know where you came from you have a better direction of where to go next,” said Celine Paquette, founder of the Samuel De Champlain History Center in Champlain.

Performance to benefit the Strand Theatre.

PLATTSBURGH — The significant amount of rainfall throughout the North Country this spring and early summer has had a negative impact on many of the farmers in the region. The almost constant rain has stunted crops and has already caused a hay shortage.

Vermont recently broke the record for the highest rainfall in two consecutive months — May and June — with a total of 18.6 inches. Plattsburgh and the surrounding towns saw an average of 10-20 inches in the same time frame. In some areas of upstate New York, the rainfall has measured more than 25 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

In comparison, the statewide average annual rainfall is around 36 inches, or 3 inches per month.

That water has saturated fields, ruining crops and making it impossible to harvest hay.

Melissa Monty-Provost at Country Dreams Farm in Plattsburgh said she’s been worried about the plants in her fields.

“They were flooded, stunted and the water was stagnate. We had to re-plant in some areas,” she explained. “But with this beautiful sun we’re starting to see some growth.”

Monty-Provost said they have been concerned about blight, a

Many farmers have only just begun to harvest hay because of the rainy start to the growing season.

Gibson Brothers, James King share favorites.

Plattsburgh gets heated up for August First Weekend katherine@denpubs.com

53128

PLATTSBURGH — First Weekend will continue Aug. 2-3 with another long list of fun-filled activities in downtown Plattsburgh.

First weekend include music in the streets on Friday night and a family fun day on Saturday with a “block party” on City Hall Place. The street will be closed from 2 to 5 p.m. The event kicks off with Art Walks along with musical performers setting the stage in front of local businesses downtown. Tim McCormick, member of the Adirondack Young Professionals, said the focus of the downtown entertainment will take place on Margaret Street.

This is the third First Weekend arranged by members of the Vision 2 Action Group, the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts (NCCCA), ROTA Gallery, the Adirondack Young Professionals (ADKYP) and area businesses. The Champlain Valley Transportation Museum (CVTM), and the Imaginarium Children’s Museum will all come together to help.

“We will have Hailey McGivney performing in front of the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, Giovanina Bucci in front of Cheechako Taco and more all over town,” said McCormick. “We have a lot of returning performers and from previous First Weekend Celebrations but we are always looking for more performers, in my opinion we will never have enough local talent out in the streets performing.”

ROTA Gallery will be holding Fire Dancing performances outside the gallery and will be working with the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts for an Art Walk with local artists hanging their pieces inside local businesses. The two organizations will be organizing an interactive art walk to go through downtown businesses and see different art work by local artists.

“We hope to do something a little different, our last walk was very relaxed and people were given maps leading them to the art,” said Gallery Curator and Marketing Coordinator for the NCCCA Shawna Armstrong. “We’re hoping to make it a little more exciting.”

Following the First weekend festivities, at 7 p.m. the NCCCA

will host Live and Local musical performances on the front lawn of the art center.

Hailey McGivney will open for the performance, followed by Eat. Sleep, Funk and then Zip City Blues.

The performance is free with a suggested donation. Guests are invited to bring a blanket and enjoy the music in the night air. In case of rain the performance will move to the inside of the Strand Theater next to the NCCCA. On Saturday, The CVTM and Kids’ Station will be downtown on Saturday from 2 to 5 p.m. showcasing a 1939 Firestone bicycle

built by the Huffy Company along with activities for children.

The CVTM also invites children of all ages to discover a world of bubbles by creating bubbles with household items, experimenting with bubbles, and other activities.

Saturday’s activities will also feature Leisa Masouda World Dance Ensemble performing. The City of Plattsburgh Fire Department will bring their trucks to be on hand again for children.

To participate in the planning for upcoming First Weekends, call McCormick at 420-2224 to find out dates and times for First Weekend meetings.

ing and they’re so happy they were asked to come back again.

He said they will also be performing a brand new song that Dennis Hulbert wrote. Titled “Singing with Friends,” it highlights the band members’ relationship.

“It really expresses how we enjoy getting together,” VanCour said.

“Concerts on the Bluff” is now in its 39th year and has included performances in the past by other local musical groups including Too Tall String Band and The Back Porch Band.

The series kicked off July 10, featuring Inca Hoots, whose members are John Geno, Peter Grosskoph, Bruce Patenaude, John Seiden, and Guy Szalkowski. On July 24, Rick and the AllStar Ramblers Western Swing band took the stage.

“Concerts on the Bluff” takes place at Clinton Community College in the pavilion next to the Forrence Center Gymnasium.

The musical performances generally run from 6-8 p.m. and take place rain or shine, with the gym being the alternative location in inclement weather. Bring lawn chairs, bug spray and a willingness to dance.

Weekend Concerts on the Bluff continue denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Some lively music will be featured in the upcoming weeks at the annual summer music series, “Concerts on the Bluff.”

On Wednesday, July 31, folk group Towne Meeting will be performing followed on Wednesday, Aug. 7, by musician Roy Hurd.

Formed in 2006, Towne Meeting, whose members are Rich Sutphen, Dennis Hulbert, Justin VanCour, Miles Moody, and Gary VanCour, has played at numerous venues, including the Peru Gazebo and the first annual “Freedom Fest” at Ausable Chasm Pavilion last summer.

“It’s been great fun,” VanCour said, “most of us [in the band] are retired and we’re having a blast.”

Last year the group was invited to play at “Concerts on the Bluff” but couldn’t make it because of scheduling conflicts.

VanCour said Towne Meeting is looking forward to perform-

Townwide garage sales planned in Chazy, Altona In Altona

By Shawn Ryan

Wild Character My Favorite Marten The American Marten, a happy-go-lucky round-eared, bushy-tailed, slender weasel, is often confused with its cousin, the Pine Marten, because it likes to party among the pines. Its rich, silky fur varies in color from pale yellow to nearly black. By 1892, when the Adirondack Park was created, trapping had www.exploringnature.org nearly erased the marten from the Northeast. New York’s now-healthy population rebounded from a feisty isolated group that survived in the northern Adirondack Park. Martens give weasels a good name: they dine happily on rodents, bugs, amphibians, and reptiles. Another great reason we’re so...

Rebecca Kelly Ballet Company to perform at the Strand Theater

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Members of the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts and potential members are invited to enjoy the Rebecca Kelly Ballet Company this Friday, July 26.

The Rebecca Kelly Ballet Company of New York City will bring their new show “Turbulence” to the stage of the Strand Theater as one of the first performance parties to raise money for the continued renovation of the Strand Theater at 25 Brinkerhoff Street.

The performance will include five dancers and will lend itself to the “raw” setting of the Strand Theater which is still undergoing reconstruction.

The event will include a wine tasting a from The Champlain Wine Company beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Kathy Recchia, Grant Coordinator for the NCCCA, said the show is a members-only invitation but everyone is invited to become a member and order tickets to the performance.

Recchia said the theater is currently in “Hard Hat” season with performances between construction as the NCCCA raises the final amount needed to outfit the theatre with sound, lighting and rigging necessary for business.

“Inviting people into the theater is a great way to show how much progress we’ve really made at the theater and at the same time letting people see for themselves how close it really is to completion,” Recchia said. “We hope to have several more performance parties The Strand, built in 1924 as a vaudeville theatre, is near completion in its $3.6 Million restoration with plans to finish this summer and raise the last $500,000 to buy equipment. The Strand

is on the National Historic Registry and has played several parts in the Plattsburgh community as a movie house and now a performing arts center.

Following the reconstruction the NCCCA will take on the name the Strand Art Center to merge the two artistic venues.

Opinion North Countryman Editorial

Thoughts on Cuomo’s dog-and-pony show

L

et’s be clear — we are grateful to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for establishing the Adirondack Challenge Festival. Local towns and counties couldn’t afford to buy that much publicity for our tourism-dependent region. For a weekend, the Adirondack Park was in New York’s limelight, and it felt great.

It felt even better for the governor, who was able to award himself the Adirondack Challenge’s top prize for winning the whitewater rafting races on Sunday, July 21 on the Indian River. The Senate came in second. The Assembly third.

Come on!

Did they let him win? Did he have a head start? Were State Police scuba divers holding back the other rafts? We know he had a strong team and a top-notch rafting guide in Bone Bayse of Beaver Brook Outfitters. But still ... the governor wins his own challenge?

Sounds fishy. We’ll never know the whole truth (the governor’s office isn’t always forthcoming with such information). On face value, it looked like the Adirondack Challenge was one big dog-and-pony show for the governor’s ego.

But we’re OK with that.

Maybe Cuomo deserved the win, maybe he didn’t. It doesn’t matter. For the amount of positive national exposure Cuomo gave the Adirondack Park, he can have a dozen first-place paddles. And if he ever makes it to the White House, he’ll remember the good times he had in the Adirondack Park. Maybe he’ll set up a summer White House here like Calvin Coolidge did in 1926 at White Pine Camp in Paul Smiths.

That would be great exposure, too.

New York governors have come and gone, and most have just ignored the Adirondack Park. Gov. George Pataki was a strong advocate; heck, he even bought property here in Essex. And, like Pataki, Cuomo genuinely likes spending time in the Adirondacks. He vacations here with his family, sneaking away from Albany many times without the expectation of a headline or a photo opportunity. That, in itself, is the best testimonial.

Yet Cuomo, with deep roots in New York City politics, brings something else to the table that other Adirondack-loving governors have not — the understanding of how to draw attention to this region — get people involved, especially from the downstate movers and shakers

in business and politics.

Throw them in a whitewater raft knowing they’ll enjoy the natural beauty, camaraderie of a paddling team, the spirit of competitiveness and fun, and give them a cold Adirondack beer at the end of the day. Show them a good time, and make some memories. That’s what people will remember the most when it comes time to make decisions about this special place in northern New York. And it’s those memories that will generate positive word-of-mouth advertising and lead to an increase in tourism.

We only hoped the governor would let New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg win the second Adirondack Challenge whitewater rafting race down the Indian River on Monday, July 22. This way, he would have bragged about it for years, adding even more word-of-mouth value to the experience. Instead, the governor’s competitiveness overpowered his political savvy. Everyone has their weakness. Cuomo just had to win the second race, too.

The rumblings of criticism about the thousands of people who didn’t show up to the Adirondack Challenge Festival in Indian Lake this past weekend are unfair, especially since there was a good crowd of locals and tourists in town. Expectations may have been too high.

We think some people lost sight of the real purpose of the Adirondack Challenge. It wasn’t to attract tourists for one weekend; it was to attract tourists for many weekends in the future.

Thanks to the free publicity and the I Love NY advertising campaign for the Adirondack Region, we hope to see thousands more tourists from New York City, Long Island and Westchester County visit these mountains in the months and years ahead, instead of heading to Vermont, New Hampshire or Maine for their vacations.

All in all, the governor’s publicity stunt was well worth the time and money, and we thank him for all the attention.

We must also thank the dozens of volunteers and organizers who hosted the town-wide festival in Indian Lake for their time, hard work and hospitality. They were somewhat overshadowed by the governor, but they played one of the most important roles over the weekend.

They showed the visitors a good time, as they always do, with a smile and a “Come back again soon.” Ñ

From Anna: Let’s just say it – Breakups are TOUGH. In some cases, the hardest part of breaking up is not necessarily breaking up with them, it’s breaking up with your current day-to-day routine. Relationships can become such an integral part of your life, that when it’s gone, you can feel lost. My best advice is to establish a new routine. Keep some old, and bring in lots of new. Staying active physically and mentally is a great stress reliever. If you’ve always wanted to start a new hobby, now is the best time. Surrounding yourself with those who love you unconditionally is also a great way to feel secure while establishing your new identity. This may sound menial, but count your blessings. Gratitude is a staple to one’s happiness, so remember the good things.

Regardless of who broke up with whom, out of respect for yourself and the other person, a clean break is almost always the best choice. Prolonging the inevitable creates unwanted tension and foreboding, and ultimately stalls your healing process.

From Sally: I learned early on with 3 children, that dating is really practice for the upcoming, real relationship that would be long lasting.

And with that in mind, I always enjoyed and got to know my kid’s boy and girl friends, remembering that this may not be the ONE. It is hard, as a mother to bite your tongue when a break up

happens or there are disrespectful situations, words, or behavior from both sides. If asked advice, I give honest feedback and this may not necessarily be supportive of what my child did or said. My advice is two-fold to mothers/fathers; don’t give advice if they don’t ask, unless things have become dangerous either emotionally or physically. And DO model for them what a nice relationship looks and feels like, teaching them how to communicate and express their feelings. When a breakup does happen, if you really became attached to the boyfriend/girlfriend, it is a big loss for the parent as well. Saying that you will miss them is fine, but supporting your daughter/son is more important. Be available to talk, know that there will be grief, and encourage them that once a break is made, to leave it alone. No contact is the best healing in moving on.

From Mother & Daughter: DO: First thing in the morning; count your blessings and begin with positive self-talk such as, “this will be a great day”, “this will pass and I will feel better today than I did yesterday” and positive behaviors; eat well, exercise, perform well and stay focused at work or school, and see friends who make you feel good!

DON’T: Make it the ongoing topic of conversation, with each of you reminding the other that there is not much more to discuss. HUG; physical contact is the best healer!

Kids need to be allowed to fail sometimes

M

any things about being a kid today have changed since I was a kid. Parents and teachers no longer employ physical punishments such as hitting with a hand, ruler or object like a belt. So too is gone ear twisting, hair pulling or the other many expressions of physical punishment that were meted out years ago.

When I was a kid, we didn’t sit at the table and participate with adults in conversation the way kids do now and many things were held back from us then as certain topics were taboo. These changes, for the most part are probably positive, one change that is not so positive is the enormous pressure kids are under to be successful at everything every time.

Growing up there were guys that could take apart anything mechanical and fix it and got positive feedback for what were legitimate skills. Others were already working jobs on farms or in stores and were known as hard workers. Some were good athletes which put a spotlight on them and others were good students and were prized for those skills. There were very few or more likely none, who were outstanding at everything they attempted.

I’m not sure that was even an expectation in my younger years.

Now, every student or young person must do well at almost everything. There are many well-known examples of people who were failures early on but who later enjoyed outstanding success in their lives.

Michael Jordon wasn’t always the greatest basketball player in the world; Abraham Lincoln lost so many elections that he wasn’t even able to be elected dog catcher in his home town and the musical genius Mozart was not seen as any kind of genius initially. In her book The New Psychology of Success, Professor Carol Dweck explains that “failure is an important part of learning.” Dweck found that there are two possible outcomes from failure, one is that children can become so affected that they become afraid to make further attempts fearing failure or they can realize that failure is part of learning and that these experiences are very valuable. Dweck found that adults around children can heavily affect how they handle success or failure. For example, Dweck warned that parents who frequently tell their kids how smart they are may foster a “fixed mindset and it can backfire.”

Children become strongly invested in intelligence as part of their core identity and when they fail they can become very insecure about their abilities.

“The self-esteem movement almost brained-washed everyone into believing that we can hand our children self-esteem on a

platter by telling them they’re great, they’re smart, they’re talented and gifted. It just doesn’t work that way. Actually, those statements often make children more fragile.”

Rather parents should praise children for problem solving skills for the way they approach a difficulty in their lives. Children need praise for effort and the willingness to persist in the face of difficult challenges.

Praise for these behaviors can

By Scot Hurlburt result in a “growth mindset, not a fixed mindset.”

A child who persists with a tough task even if they are failing in the moment can build self-esteem on their own while they’re learning new ways of thinking. Dweck suggests that, “process praise” of children between the ages of 1 and three can predict their mindset and desire for challenge five years later. Dweck also encouraged parents that “this kind of mindset can be encouraged at any age.”

A fixed mindset undoubtedly limits intellectual growth because the fear of failure embedded in this mindset will discourage intellectual risk taking. Heaps of unearned probably won’t make you a resilient and confident person.

For hovering parents, this might be especially good research to consult. Encouraging children to begin to think about the processes associated with problem-solving seems like good, common sense. Talking to children about keeping their fears about failure in check by understanding that they are growing and developing every day and will experience many failures and successes along the way also seems like good common sense.

Remember, all kids count.

Stand your ground?

To the North Countryman: Why didn’t “Stand your ground” apply to Trayvon Martin?

Trayvon was a 17-year-old teenager, not an adult. Trayvon was unarmed, he was terrified with only his fists to protect him.

Zimmerman did not fear for his life, he had a gun. Because of Zimmerman’s anger over past circumstances he shot and killed an unarmed teenager. Zimmerman, the aggressor, acting as a vigilanty. He was not a law officer. If the jury had not had their hands tied with only the facts they were allowed to use, Zimmerman would have been given a different verdict. He would be serving time for first degree murder!

Trayvon was trying to get home. Trayvon was unnarmed, he was terrified. Trayvon was fighting for his life, he was “Standing His Ground!”

Gibson Brothers, James King share favorite songs at Grey Fox

been about a year, a year and a half since we did it in the studio.”

Adjusting to life on the road with Eric and Leigh Gibson has been a natural process for Brock, who spent his childhood touring with his own musical family.

“I already feel like a brother. I feel like a Gibson,” Brock said. “I’ve known the guys since the ’90s when they were in the infant stage of their career, and it’s great to see them blossom into such a wonderful group with great business minds. They’ve, along the way, acquired the know-how to stay in business, and I’m glad to be a part of it and be part of the team.”

Since late June, the Gibson Brothers and the James King Band both acquired new mandolin players. Brock, who signed on June 19, met David Watson Jr. of the James King Band informally for the first time backstage between the bands’ sets. Watson, playing his eighth show with King in a few weeks, was so fresh that Chance Leadbetter was still listed as mandolin player on the James King Band’s website during Grey Fox. Watson is a 20-year-old from West Union, W. Va., and his introduction to bluegrass began at the age of 9, while he was playing the electric guitar.

“My grandma told me about this jam session going on, but she said I had to bring my acoustic guitar,” Watson said in the Grey Fox hospitality tent. “And I wondered, ‘What the heck? Why?’ So I did, and it turned out to be bluegrass. So that’s the first time I played bluegrass, and I’ve

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com OAK HILL — Was it coincidence or fate that brought James King and the Gibson Brothers together July 19 at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, sharing a stage and possibly a recording this coming winter?

These back-to-back International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Emerging Artists of the Year — the James King Band in 1997 and the Gibson Brothers in 1998 — presented an evening workshop, “Our Favorite Songs,” under the Creekside Stage tent after their afternoon sets on the High Meadow Stage. It was classic North meets South, with the Gibson Brothers hailing from New York and James King from Virginia.

“I want to hear some of that wonderful brother harmony,” King said on stage, standing with his guitar between Eric and Leigh Gibson. “Basically what you’re witnessing tonight for the first time, and I hope not the last time, you’re witnessing a Gibson Brothers-James King sandwich.”

In all, King and the Gibson Brothers band – Eric and Leigh, Mike Barber on bass, Clayton Campbell on fiddle, and Jesse Brock on mandolin – played 10 of their favorite songs: “Why Don’t You Tell Me So,” “I Just Think I’ll Go

Away,” “Dig a Hole in the Meadow,” “Crazy Heart,” “More and More,” “In the Shadows of My Mind,” “Love’s Gonna Live Here Again,” “Ring the Bell,” “How Mountain Girls Can Love,” and — for the encore — “Think of What You’ve Done.”

“I’ve never done that song before,” King said after playing “Dig a Hole in the Meadow.” “I’m learning all kinds of new things ... Ain’t it fun to pick with somebody you never picked with before?”

This may have been their first time on stage together, but it may not be the last.

“I suggest that me and the Gibson Brothers go in the studio and record a song this winter,” King said. “It would be fun.”

It may also be fun for their fans, of which they have many. And their awards are piling up, too.

James King is the 2013 Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPBGMA) Male Vocalist of the Year (traditional), and the Gibson Brothers are the 2012 IBMA Entertainers of the Year.

In another twist of fate, the mandolin player who was performing with King on the Creekside Stage — Jesse Brock — also played on the James King Band’s upcoming Rounder release — “Three Chords and the Truth.”

“Ken Irwin of Rounder Records gave me a call and said they were putting this project together and asked if I was interested in being a part of it,” Brock said after the “Favorite Songs” performance. “I said, ‘Sure.’ That was a no-brainer for me. I love James’s music, and it’s

been doing it ever since.”

A few years later, Watson began playing mandolin, filling in for several bands and had been touring with a country band the past year before James King hired him.

“I emailed him and sent him some recordings I had,” Watson said. “He liked what he heard, I guess, and he had me down to his house to meet him. He decided to hire me on board.”

Being the youngest and newest member of the band, adjustments have to be made, and there’s always something to learn.

“I guess the biggest thing I’m learning right now is how to travel and work the maps and drive all night,” Watson said. “We got here just a few hours before we played with no sleep, and we’re not going to be sleeping this night, either, except a little bit on the van, I guess.”

As for learning the music, Watson spent some quality time with King’s many recordings.

“I had about five days to learn 30 songs, so I spent a lot of hours memorizing the choruses and getting the harmony down,” Watson said.

“But it just takes a lot of practice playing along with CDs and the metronome.”

On July 20, the James King Band flew out to the West Coast for a 10-day tour of northern California and Washington state. On the same day, the Gibson Brothers flew out to Ohio for a performance. Once the festival season is behind them, perhaps they’ll meet in the studio for that recording King suggested.

Bill’s Body Shop, a family business for more than 50 years

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Helping people through a difficult time and getting them back on the road has become the family business for the Lawrence family. For the past 50 years Bill and his wife Faye, have been fixing cars in Peru at Bill’s Body Shop.

Bill’s Body Shop, located at 390 Military Turnpike, first opened its doors in 1963. Bill and Faye opened the business as a regular service garage and today the business has expanded and operates exclusively as a collision repair center as well as an auto accessories store and showroom.

“We started small and just kept growing, we have a good customer base, and great returning customers and we have just kept growing from there,” Faye said.

In 1994, Faye said they grew out of their original space and built a new facility on the property to include more auto bays, an Acudraft Downdraft Spray Booth and heat booth that helps seal on a fresh coat of paint. The duo also added Action Auto Accessories.

“When we built the new shop we had more bays then we needed and we thought up this area to sell auto accessories,” Faye said. “Our son Dana was working somewhere else at the time and we asked him if he would be interested in running the showroom.”

Faye said the accessories shop not only sells merchandise but Dana also installs it on site.

“We wanted to diversify our services and at

the time there weren’t a lot of auto accessory stores in the area like there are now but we still have our loyal customers,” Faye said. “At the time our son was looking to switch jobs so we made him an offer and we’ve all been working together ever since.”

Faye, Bill and Dana are equal partners in the auto shop and the auto accessory businesses.

Faye and Bill’s daughter, Darcy Brousseau, is the office manager. Bill has retired from the auto shop, working outside the shop, but Faye said he is at the shop regularly.

“We all really have our own strengths, it’s a joy for me to work with my son and daughter everyday, some people say: ‘I don’t know how you do it I wouldn’t want to work with my family everyday’ but I love it,” Faye said.

Alongside family members, Bill’s Auto Body also employs four mechanics.

Bill’s Body Shop is celebrating 50 years in business in Plattsburgh. The business is run by Bill, his wife Faye, and their two children Dana Lawrence and Darcy Brousseau.

Beginning of 50 years Faye and Bill were “not exactly high school sweethearts,” Faye said. The two graduated from Peru High School and later in 1960 were married while Bill was working as a combat diver and welder for the US Navy.

“We both wanted to open the shop,” Faye said. “We really wanted to open the business close to where we grew up.”

Bill was known in the Navy as a “Frogman” the former term for a Navy Seal. He was based in Norfolk, Virginia.

“It was a pretty interesting time, Bill was welding underwater and working on the Landing Ship Dock of the USS San Marcos LSD-25,” Faye said. “When we left I was really happy to

have him on dry land and we came back home.”

Faye and Bill returned to the Adirondacks and not only started a family but a new business that has grown with them.

“Our work has evolved over the years from general replacements to a full out collision center,” said Faye.

At the store, Faye said they make sure all of their customers needs are met and can help people through the difficult time following an accident.

“We do major collision, not maintenance work,” said Faye. “We put cars into pre-loss condition and about 90 percent of our work is on late-model vehicles.”

Right down to helping deal with the insurance companies, Faye said their business can help with everything.

“One thing people don’t always realize is you have a choice when your car needs work on where to bring it — insurance companies can’t force you,” said Faye.

Faye said through the years their dedication to their customers has brought customers coming back and recommending them to their friends.

“Not all our ‘returning customers’ get in accidents, most of our ‘returning customers’ are sons and daughters of our customers or were recommended by a friend, you would be surprised how many fender benders happen in a day,” Faye said.

“We wouldn’t have stayed open and thriving for 50 years if we didn’t really care about our customers.”

Mexican-American Artistic Exchange show opens at BluSeed

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE — An artistic journey, crossing over the Mexican-American border and nestling into the Adirondack Mountains, will arrive as a new exhibit at BluSeed Studios. The show “Paper Migration” bring the viewer from the petrified cliff off the shores of Mazatlan, Mexico to the High Peaks.

The show will hold it’s opening reception on Friday Aug. 2, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the studio at 24 Cedar Road.

The exhibit is a Cross-Border Exploration of art, culture and community has been an international collaborative exchange between 14 artists from BluSeed Studios and a cooperative of artists in Mazatlan.

Artists from Mazatlan, who will be staying in the community for the show as well as conducting classes at BluSeed, will bring their craft the studio. BluSeed artists will display individual works both inspired by their trip and work that shows their individual styles.

In May, artists from BluSeed traveled to Mexico and in exchange several artists have come to Saranac Lake.

Seven North Country artists participated in the international exchange, including Jen Kretser, John LaFalce, Katherine LevinLau, Larry Poole, Peter Seward, Carol Vossler, and Karen Davidson. Mazatlan, Mexico Artists include: Elina Chauvet, Dory Perdomo Median, David Robb, Nan Robb, Glen Rogers, Lucila Santiago, Rafael Avila Tirado, and José Carlos Flores Zazueta.

During their trips, BluSeed Artistic Director, Carol Vossler said the artists learned about the different cultures through art exhibitions, workshops, public lectures and street performance.

The artists from both sides of the border lived amongst the local residents working with community organizations and sharing an aesthetic that diverges from the typical “North Country” or “Mexican Style” art.

“One night we took our pulp to the main market place and people there made a community art piece by throwing the different colored pulp at a canvas,” said Vossler. “We also made our paper on the beaches putting pulp onto our screens. It was really beautiful and felt like a different world surrounded by these magnificent petrified cliffs making paper in the ocean.”

The exhibit will be an exchange of the professional print making created by the Mazatlan visiting artists hanging alongside the art of the North Country artists with works inspired by their trip.

During the May visit to Mexico, the artists participated in paper making and printmaking workshops with Mexican artists, gallery talks, group exhibition, demonstrations and plein-air painting.

“On our last trip three years ago we focused our attention on print-making, these artists are very mature in their talents with printmaking and people will see that at the show,” said Davidson. “We focused primarily on paper making this time as it is a craft that is not being exercised there or in any studio around there.”

The artists immersed themselves in the culture of the area, living side-by-side with the artists.

“We didn’t experience Mazatlan as a tourist might, we were living as our hosts did,” said Poole. “We were in a different culture and different setting, it was so enriching.”

Of the artists who traveled to Mexico, several veteran adventurers took the trip as well as new travelers, Poole, Davidson, and Kretzer.

Vossler, said the experience will come out through the various art work.

“When we were down there we didn’t have to be stuck in the norm of printmaking, we expanded to teach the art form to another culture,” said Vossler. “Paper making is such a basic process for all artists, we’ve really been trying to promote our paper making so we brought something different from us to them.”

For more information about the show or to participate in a class at BluSeed call the studio at 891-3799 or go to Bluseedstudio.org.

Driver scores first Airborne win

OBITUARIES

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Andy Heywood of Morrisonville won the Agency Insurance Night DIRTcar 358-Modified feature July 13 at Airborne Speedway at the wheel of the Roto-Rooter/Gioiosa Wine & Spirits No. 80. at the Airborne Speedway in South Plattsburgh.

Heywood got the lead early and then had to fight back a length challenge from Modified point leader Todd Stone and past track champion Patrick Dupree to earn his first career-victory. His winning margin was one car-length.

Stone spent 10 laps on Heywood’s tail before yielding the second spot to Dupree with two laps left. Dupree rolled the dice with an all-out power move on the rim of the fourth turn, but couldn’t make it stick. Stone regained second place in the final turn. Kris Vernold of Queensbury and Leon Gonyo of Chazy completed the top five.

The Ernie’s Tools Modifieds return to action Saturday and Sunday July 20-21 for 50-lap features as part of ACT International 500 weekend. The American Canadian Tour event carries a purse of $140,000 – largest in Airborne history and pays $25,000 to win the 300-lap main event.

The ceremony will take place from noon to 4 p.m. outside the Town Hall. Paquette said there will be books for sale and readings of proclamations from state officials during the ceremony.

Moore was not only the founder of Champlain but the driving force behind the creation of Clinton County.

“He was a man all over, he wanted our area to be acknowledged. At the time this was all still part of Washington County, and he knew no one in Albany was going to pay attention to people here, they considered this wilderness,” Paquette said. “Pliny worked to establish Plattsburgh as a county seat and once Clinton County was its own the voices of the people here were heard by Albany.”

The events will also be highlighted with the third annual Village Fest at the town office complex with face painting, a petting zoo and a demonstration by US Border Patrol Agents, according to Martin.

The day will culminate with a free Gibson Brothers concert starting at 5 p.m.

Paquette said she hopes people can come and celebrate the town’s milestone anniversary and explore how far the town

Paquette said the anniversary celebration will give people a chance to look back at the rich history of Champlain, which was established not long after the United State’s was established as a country.

“This day will be all about acknowledging the role our founders played in a different terrain, fighting with the British and other cultural divides. Most people don’t think about it but in 1788 we hadn’t been a country too long.”

Champlain Day will begin at 11 a.m. with a dedication of a historical marker. The metal plague will honor two local “law breakers,” Noadiah Moore and Caroline Mattocks Moore. The pair were key participants in the Champlain Line of the Underground Railroad, an illegal network of safe places which sheltered hundreds of fugitives from slavery as they made their way from the southern slave states to freedom in Canada before the Civil War. The marker is a gift of the William Pomeroy Foundation and will be put in front of the Church of St. Mary, 86 Church Street, near the site of the Mooers home and Underground Railroad station.

“This new marker is an important part of our community’s dynamic history which mixes the stories of Native American, French, African-Americans and many others,” Paquette said.

Paquette said Federal Law made it a crime to help slaves escape from their owners. Even in northern New York so-called slave catchers, modern day bounty hunters, came searching for runaways. Canada was the only safe place for slaves to escape. Noadiah not only operated the terminal station on the Keeseville-Champlain Underground Railroad route, he was a founder of the Clinton County Anti-Slavery Society and the leader of the local chapter of the Liberty Party. Caroline was a leading member of the Champlain Female Anti-Slavery Society.

Don Papson, founder of the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association, will speak at the ceremonies, along with current president Jacki Madison. Also slated to speak is Mayor Greg Martin, among others.

fungus that grows on plants that withers leaves and turns them brown. Provost explained that she gets daily emails from Cornell University of where the blight is in this region, and it’s getting closer.

Tina Huestis of Huestis Farm in Ticonderoga is afraid the soggy weather will affect pollination and honey production — her farm’s main source of income.

“Bees don’t like heat and rain, and aren’t pollinating,” Huestis said.

With such a short growing season, Huestis believes her farm will be producing less produce and honey this year.

Malone farmer Tim Armstrong said the excessive moisture has negatively impacted farmers throughout the region, especially those in lower-lying areas. He believes the problem will raise the cost of feed, meat and produce.

“I went to check the fields a couple of days ago on my four wheeler, I should have brought a boat,” Armstrong said. “Some places with higher ground, the corn has already been cut. But everywhere else the plants are starting to yellow. Farmers with low- lying fields are seriously worried now. I’ll be lucky if I can cut in mid-August. If it stops raining.”

“Some people can’t get to where they need to cut without tearing up the fields. If we can’t get corn or hay, then we can’t feed our cattle,” continued Armstrong.

“We sometimes have to choose if getting some corn is worth tearing up the fields.”

The decision is usually a hard one. Farmers often must choose to let the growing corn over-ripen so they won’t brutally damage their corn fields.

Armstrong said local farmers are already feeling the pinch.

“The price for hay is already high. If I can’t get at least one good cut of hay, then I’ll have to sell my cows. I won’t be able to feed them over the winter. But it’s not just me, it’s everyone.

They all are starting to take note of what animals they might

have to sell.”

Now with the muggy summer heat, farmers will have to work double time to keep their dairy cows cool enough to still be able to milk, using fans and other means of cooling.

This will, in turn, drive up milk prices with the other meat and produce items, hurting the consumers as well as the farmer, Armstrong said.

Anita Deming, a Master Gardener with Cornell Cooperative Extension in Westport, said farmers are just now able to cut hay for the first time this season. Normally, farmers are able to get three or four cuttings in per season, but there simply is not enough growing time left to allow that type of harvest this year.

“I think we’ll be lucky to get two cuttings in this year,” Deming said. “Farmers just haven’t been able to get their equipment out.”

To make matters worse, much of the hay that is currently being cut is over-mature, meaning it has lost most of its nutrients.

It may be able to sustain some animals like horses and beef cattle, but is not high enough in nutrients to keep dairy cows producing at optimum levels. The situation is creating the perfect storm to drive up the cost of beef and dairy, Deming said.

Vegetable farmers are fairing a bit better, especially those with greenhouses — like Monty-Provost at Country Dreams Farm — that are able to control the climate. But others, especially organic growers, are dealing with a number of problems from the high amount of moisture, including fungus, mold and bacteria.

“We are calling it the year of the fungus,” Deming said.

Deming said the U.S. Department of Agriculture has yet to declare a disaster here, but that could certainly change if the forecast pattern returns to rain.

“Farming is a difficult thing,” Deming said. “You are working in a natural system that is always weather dependent.”

While many crops are well behind for this time of year, farmers do have products available. The best thing consumers can do at this point, Deming said, is patronize local farmer’s markets and buy local. To find one, visit www.adirondackharvest. com.
