BOBBING FOR PUMPKINS

This Week PLATTSBURGH

By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Representatives from Transmission Developers Inc. held a public meeting in Plattsburgh Oct. 1 to discuss plans for a proposed underwater power transmission cable which will traverse the length of Lake Champlain.

The project, dubbed the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) Project, will bring hydro and wind generated electricity from Quebec to New York City. About two dozen people were on hand for the forum, many representing green groups who were interested in learning what impact the $2.2 billion privately funded project would have on the lake.

The 333-mile transmission line will carry 1,000 megawatts of direct current electricity.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The mysterious, jaw dropping infection started spreading four years ago with unaware members of the community being caught up in the frenzy. Zombies continue to walk among us and will be bringing some friends as well during the fourth annual Zombie Walk Oct. 19.

The Zombie Walk will begin at the Durkee Street Parking lot, travel via city sidewalks on City Hall Place, Margaret Street, North Catherine Street and finally down Brinkerhoff Street.

The zombies come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and dressed in all mediums. Ò Last year we had infant zombies in strollers,Ó organizer Kimberly Cummins said.

Universities and colleges as economic drivers

By Camille Daniels

denpubs@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Every community has something that is the backbone of it. For some itÕ s a church, a football team or a person. For New York State the SUNY system is its backbone.

At a forum on Thursday, Sept. 26 at Clinton Community College a discussion was held about the opportunities that can be found in SUNY in the North Country. This particular event was part of a series of four discussions that will take place across the state. The discussion held at Clinton Community College was the first in the series.

The discussion was following the publication of a new book co-authored by Dr. Jason Lane, PhD titled Ò Universities and Colleges as Economic Drivers.Ó Lane is the deputy director for research at the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government.

Before the forum began Lane gave a PowerPoint presentation explaining some of the overviews from various sections of the book.

As Lane began to make his PowerPoint presentation he noted

the absence of SUNY chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher who was unable to attend. He explained that she believes that it is through the SUNY system that the state of New York will continue to thrive. She came to this conclusion after she took tours of all 64 SUNY campuses.

Lane said New York has a large educational system for higher education that annually pumps $1.2 billion dollars into the stateÕ s economy. He called these colleges Ò anchor institutionsÓ because they are able to operate whether a community is booming economically or not.

In addition, colleges pay millions in taxes annually and employ thousands. In just the North Country region, area colleges employ 6,700 people with 22,300 students attending these institutions. Another 61,000 alumni reside in the North Country region, Lane said. In total, these institutions add $357 million dollars to the economy in the North Country in just one year, Lane explained. Ò The future of our economy is tied to higher education,Ó Lane said.

Since most schools throughout the state and specifically in Clinton County are in small towns Lane believes that they not also educate those seeking an education but also help existing businesses. Both students and faculty spend their money locally at various businesses keeping those businesses alive, he said.

Ken Adams, President and CEO of Empire State Development, followed LaneÕ s presentation and talked to the crowd about the workforce that New York has to offer. In his time at the podium he explained that a workforce is only as good as its educational system produces. Ò The real advantage to the workforce is based on the education,Ó Adams said.

Adams talked about a new program coming out of Albany for SUNY called Start-Up New York. The basis for the program is to allow both up and coming businesses or companies to partner with a SUNY school of their choice. The company would reside on or near the campus with the incentive of not having to pay state taxes for 10 years while at the same time hiring some stu-

dents on campus to work there. The employees who the companies hired would also receive a tax exclusion on their income.

After Adams left the stage a group of six panelists took to the stage to discuss the findings in Lane’s book. The panelists included Garry Douglas, President of the North Country-Plattsburgh Chamber of Commerce; Paul Grasso, President and CEO of The Development Corporation; Lee Ann Pray, Director of Human Resources, at Swarovski Lighting; John Ettling, President of SUNY Plattsburg; John E. Jablonski, President of Clinton Community College and Lane. The moderator for the discussion was Journalist Thom Hallock of Mountain Lake PBS. The group spoke about how colleges of the North Country have an impact by attracting students from all over the world and from down state. And with the schools being located in a region so close to the border the schools have a role in what is making Clinton County so attractive to its Canadian neighbor.

This is because there are nearly 200 Canadian businesses located in Clinton County, hiring graduates of the regionÕ s colleges, the panel pointed out. Representatives of two companies on the panel noted that they provide internship programs, further connecting them with local schools.

Panelists called this connection between business and education a Ò collective impact.Ó

YMCA to host ‘Bobbing for Pumpkins’ event

The Burgh - 3

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Looking for an alternative to the average pumpkin patch picking? Try taking the plunge and out swimming other youth for the best pumpkin at the Bobbing for Pumpkins event at the Plattsburgh YMCA. Bobbing for Pumpkins will be held at the YMCA pool, 17 Oak Street, Oct. 27 and Ò bobÓ times will vary for age groups. Kids age 3 to 5 will take the plunge between 12:30 and 1 p.m., kids age 6 to 8 will take the plunge between 2 and 2:30 p.m., and kids age 9 to 14 will take the plunge between 2:45 and 3:15 p.m. Ò Kids wonÕ t just be allowed to dive in and choose their pumpkin, they can stay in the water and swim for up to a half hour and their parents can go in with them if they want to,Ó said Lindsay Marsh, marketing and membership director at the YMCA. Ò Last year all the big pumpkins were bobbing around and the kids really got a kick out of it, we really enjoy putting this on for the community.Ó After the kids get their pumpkin and dry off they can go to the gymnasium to decorate them. Ò WeÕ re going to have glitter and all sorts of stuff for them to decorate the pumpkins with,Ó Marsh said. Ò When their done the gym will be open for kids to play and weÕ ll have music going to make it a real fun time.Ó There will also be healthy snacks available including popcorn and drinks will also be available.

Last year, Marsh said the event was a success with more than 75 kids and their families turning out. Ò We were running out of pumpkins so we had to send out staff to get more,Ó Marsh said. Ò This year weÕ re planning for 50 kids but if more show up we have plenty of people here and ready to make pumpkin runs to make sure everyone gets a pumpkin.Ó Last year a large majority of the pumpkins came from a local orchard. This year, Marsh said they are hoping to find someone willing to donate pumpkins needed for the event.

“We will definitely have a pumpkin for everyone but if we could find someone willing to donate pumpkins it would be an incredible cost saver,Ó Marsh said.

Marsh said the event is an incredible alternative to going to the store to pick out a pumpkin and it is another alternative to bringing kids trick or treating for families who choose not to.

To help ensure there are enough pumpkins for everyone pre-registration is encouraged but not required.

Admission to the event will be $8 for YMCA members, $10 for non-members or $15 for families with more than one child.

For more information about the event, to preregister, or to inquire about donating pumpkins stop by or call the Plattsburgh YMCA at 561-4290 or go to their website at www.plattsburghymca.com.

The Burgh Editorial

L

the prosperity of the village, local leaders reexamined their zoning regulations and adopted amendments to not only accommodate such a development, but to assure that this hotel and others would be built in an appropriate manner. They reviewed their existing architectural guidelines, and strengthened them by adding various aspects and converting the suggestions to mandates.

These new architectural standards include calling for the use of varied, quality materials, as well as staggered rooflines, multiple exterior planes, wall offsets and recesses, dormers, parapets, and cornices.

We applaud the village board of trusteesÕ actions.

Good architecture and savvy municipal planning attract people to a community to not only visit, but to live in it, prosper, and savor the experience.

KennyÕ s initial drawings of his hotel were presented last month to the Lake George Village Planning Board. The drawings depicted a long boxy structure with blank walls Ñ prohibited in Lake GeorgeÕ s new zoning laws Ñ interrupted only with three shallow towers with Adirondack-themed roofs with faux log beams.

Such elements were a nod to the new architectural guidelines, but didnÕ t go far enough.

It was interesting to see that Kenny also had alternate backup plans for the hotel, depicting stepped roofs, extensive stonework, various offsets and far more visual interest.

Kudos to the planning board members who directed Kenny to go back to the drawing board and redesign the hotel to incorporate architectural quality, and not just minimal design cues.

Comprehensive architectural mandates and historic preservation laws have proven their worth in many other resort communities like Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Boulder, Colorado and upscale neighborhoods in major cities like Philadelphia as well as nearby Saratoga Springs.

Although attacked by some as intrusive elitism or an erosion of property rights, architectural mandates and progressive community planning have immeasurable benefits, boosting the quality of life for all.

Here in the Adirondacks, we can resist the intrusion of the ubiquitous American franchisedriven architecture. Drawing on our individualism, we can celebrate our traditional aesthetic diversity, while committing to develop our communities to incorporate a vibrant cultural life.

Without question, itÕ s in our best interests. Ñ

Architectural standards; cogent community planning ake George is now headed into a transformation that offers insights useful to other Adirondack communities as they chart a course into the future that incorporates prosperity as well as maintaining a high quality of life.

With 100,000 or more visitors annually spending weekends or extended vacations in Lake George, entrepreneurs for decades have built motels, restaurants and retail shops to meet the touristsÕ desires.

Many of the business owners or absentee landlords Ñ a large portion from outside the area Ñ have built structures to host business enterprises with one main objective: to expend the least amount of money possible.

Taking advantage of prevailing lax municipal development regulations, developers have constructed commercial buildings lacking in architectural merit. For years, many Ò newÓ storefronts have been merely alterations and conversions of residences Ñ or new construction with minimal design and cheap materials.

Meanwhile, historic buildings with outstanding architecture have been destroyed, one by one, by fire or unbridled development.

The result has been a village with a hodgepodge of structures of little or no architectural value, as the population of year-round village residents has slowly decreased.

Many discerning vacationers have increasingly sought out other destinations that have a more intact historic identity or have buildings exemplifying higher aesthetic values. And while Lake GeorgeÕ s clientele has shifted over the decades, some retailers have aimed to appeal to the changing visitor profile. Several store windows now displaying T-shirts with obscene slogans serve an example of what can result.

Although Lake George has been rated as a top family vacation destination, some publications have used the terms Ò tackyÓ and Ò honky tonk.Ó In recent years, however, Lake George has embarked on a turnaround.

Progressive leaders have envisioned an upscale, revitalized village full of year-round downtown residents as well as visitors, savoring daily life of work, recreation and raising families.

Dozens of new quality cultural events have been launched. Regulations to rein in unbridled commercialism have been enacted. Projects to upgrade the streetscape and enhance the pedestrian experience have been undertaken, and theyÕ ve resulted in considerable success.

Last winter, developer Dave Kenny hinted he was interested in situating an upscale hotel and conference center in the village.

Letters to the Editor

Fundraising effort kicks off To the The Burgh:

As a Board Member for the Foundation of CVPH Medical Center, I am thrilled to be kicking off another year for our annual campaign drive. This is our biggest fundraising effort of the year where we ask North Country residents to support the health of your community. CVPH employees have already pledged $35,000, giving us a great start to our campaign goal of $200,000.

Part of what makes our campaign a success each year are the 50+ volunteers who willingly take on the task of asking their friends, business partners and contacts to join them in supporting the Foundation. This is no easy undertaking, but when you ask for something you believe strongly in and support yourself, the ask for the Foundation of CVPH becomes much easier.

As a team captain, IÕ m fortunate to have several people help me with the business of asking for gifts; many have volunteered for years. They do this because they believe in the mission of the Foundation and know they can make a difference in their family, friendsÕ and neighborsÕ lives.

When you receive a letter asking you to support the Foundation of CVPH, I hope you will consider joining me and my fellow volunteers in improving health and wellness in our community.

Style & Substance: On the Napoleon Complex Dear style & substance:

I recently met a great person and would like to ask her on a date. Here is my dilemma; she is taller than I am. This is shallow and perhaps not an issue; however I have not dated much because I was always self-conscious about my height. Do you have any advice about how to ask this woman on a date?

Dating is initially a game of attraction. Why we are attracted to another person is mysteriously complex. Very often attraction is based on what we come to believe as ideals of outer beauty.

We learn this from a young age and in many different forms Ð family, culture, and media all contribute to whom we are attracted.

One basic rule of attraction: confidence is appealing. Not swagger or boasting, but a quiet confidence in your self and what you have to offer to another person. On the extreme side, the Urban Dictionary describes symptoms of a Ò Napoleon ComplexÓ asÉ a short man who may Ò act out in an attempt to gain respect and recognition from others and compensate for his short statureÓ . Guard against overcompensating for your vertical challenge by being overly gregarious or; the opposite, overly apologetic.

We all have personal qualities or situations that we are overly sensitive about; for some it is what they consider a lack of education or success, for others it may be weight or even money. You will find that in the world of dating, people are insecure! So if your insecurity is height; know it, own it and work with what you DO have. Develop the qualities that exemplify your best self Ð dating is a new beginning so do not dwell in the past, think of this experience as a time to reinvent and bring forth everything good about you.

Inner beauty, which is what makes the dating ultimately work out, is revealed as we get to know someone. We believe that if height is an awkward situation for her, she will not accept the date or you will find very soon into the dating if it is an issue…invite her out with confidence, not awkwardness.

In meeting women or once you are dating, some things to remember: • Don’t talk about your height as if it is something you want focus attention on, even joking about it can get old!

• Take it slow, keep it light, have fun and don’t be needy!

• Do figure out ways to naturally compensate for what you feel may be your biggest weakness… by keeping the traditional gender roles in place to a certain degree; no matter what independent girls sayÉ .they DO like to feel feminine, listened to, and protected. This can be done in many ways like planning fun and unique dates, listening, contributing and following up on conversations, opening doors, carrying groceries Ð courtesy and kindness always win.

Our advice is to ask her on that date. Be confident in who you are. If she is the great person you perceive her to be, chances are she will say yes.

President Obama’s Bus Tour: Get on Board, It’s not about Politics

P

resident ObamaÕ s proposal to rate AmericaÕ s colleges is the most important educational policy step taken in a long while. In late August, on a bus tour through New York and Pennsylvania, the President unveiled his plan to rate colleges on access, affordability and student outcomes and to tie federal support for student loans to these metrics.

At a time when AmericaÕ s viability depends on increasing the number and proportion of citizens with college degrees, we are sabotaging our NationÕ s future by allowing college costs to spiral out of control, thereby burdening a generation with onerous debt and blocking others from even entering the college gates.

Over the last five years, tuition at public four-year colleges increased 27 percent beyond inflation, while at private colleges, that increase is 13 percent.

One explanation for rampant tuition increases centers on the economic crash of 2008. Since the bust, colleges have failed to curb spending on bricks and mortar, tenured professors, health care, and technology, while states have passed off increases in higher education spending directly to students and their families.

This helps explain why tuition costs have risen faster than healthcare, energy, and even housing.

Because only the rich can afford todayÕ s college costs, middle and low-income students have been forced to borrow money and absorb massive loan debt. Today, two thirds of those graduating from college are debt ridden, a per student average thatÕ s close to $27,000. Student loan debt in the USA totals a staggering $1.2 trillion.

ItÕ s ironic that as the cost for college grows, the greater the need for higher education. We, as a Nation, need college graduates more today than ever before. A college degree currently has the same value on the job market that a high school diploma had a generation ago. In 10 years, there will be 20 million jobs in the United States that go unfilled because we don’t have enough qualified workers.

As the leader of a national organization that is currently helping 20,000 low-income students get to college, I see firsthand the impact of an exploitive tuition system. Josh, a young man from Harlem whose mother is on welfare, is saddled with a $14,000 tuition bill from Penn State before he can return for his senior year. Tiffany graduates from the University of California system owing $38,000-- more money than her single father has earned the past two years. There are real stories and there are countless more out there.

Now there’s finally a long-overdue plan that promises to curb costs, reduce student debt, and advocate for students like Josh and Tiffany and the thousands of other young people being priced out of the one opportunity Ð a college degree Ð that can pull them (and in many cases, their families) out of poverty. This plan will rate colleges on measures like tuition, graduation rates, debt and earnings of graduates, and the number of low-income students who attend.

The new rating system would be adopted by 2015 and three years later, students attending highly rated colleges would receive larger grants and more affordable loans.

No surprise, thereÕ s already plenty of opposition to the rating plan. Lamar Alexander, current U.S. Senator and former university president and U.S. secretary of education, believes that ratings should be created by each state and not Washington. Others have expressed concern about the flaws inherent in formulas and data collection.

While the states offer about $12 billion each year in student loans, the federal government spends $150 billion annually, giving the feds the leverage they need to prod colleges into making desperately needed changes.

Of course the metrics offered by the Department of Education need to be refined but we have four years to do so. This plan is a critical first step and one, we as a Nation, cannot afford to miss.

Will data collection be difficult? Yes, but the Obama plan points the dial in the right direction, and it will make colleges pay attention. Making college affordable isnÕ t just good for students itÕ s absolutely necessary for our country.

This rating plan unlike the US News and World Report rubric is not a beauty contest, itÕ s about substance. ItÕ s about making colleges affordable and truly accessible. ItÕ s about reviving the American Dream.

The plan is not about politics, but we need politicians to make it truly effective. Contact your legislator to express your support.

Get on board.

Rick Dalton is the President and CEO of College For Every Student.

Standing Together in the Fight Against Breast Cancer

51796

Statistics indicate there will be more than 256,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in American and Canadian women this year, and breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women of both countries. Thanks to early detection and treatment advances, survival rates have improved dramatically, but much room for progress remains. As diagnosis and treatment options continue to evolve, medical experts agree that early detection is a key factor in overcoming the disease, and performing a monthly breast self-exam is often vital to detecting abnormalities, including lumps or tenderness, in the breasts that may indicate illness.

Take steps to protect yourself against breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month by initiating healthy lifestyle changes, beginning monthly breast self-exams, and talking to your doctor about the appropriate clinical breast exam and screening mammogram schedule for you.

39934

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. These local sponsors join us in raising awareness of the importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer and the importance of continued support for breast cancer research.

PHS forced to cancel football season

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Plattsburgh High School Superintendent James M. Short announced recently that due to the dwindling number of players, the Plattsburgh High School varsity football team has been forced to cancel the remainder of its season.

Any team scheduled to play Plattsburgh will be credited with a win via forfeit.

According to state rules for public high schools, the minimum number of athletes required to field a football team is 16. PHS started

the year with only 20, and through attrition due to injuries, soon fell below the 16 player cut-off.

Six sophomores who have been playing on the varsity team will be allowed to finish the season on the junior varsity team. Neither the junior varsity or modified programs have been impacted.

Plattsburgh does plan to field a team next year. Only one senior was on the PHS football team.

Plattsburgh went ahead with its homecoming festivities this past weekend, substituting a soccer game for the traditional homecoming football game.

the honor.

ChamplainÕ s Hidden View Farm, located at 350 Dubois Rd. is one of the farms which will be welcoming guests Oct. 13.

Three Tetreault brothers, Dan, Don, and Dale run Hidden View Farm in Peru, which was bought by their father John Paul in 1953. At that time the farm consisted of a few hundred acres, and they milked 20 cows. They now farm more than 1,000 acres, milk 600 cows, and have about 500 cows for replacement stock. The farm has been featured in Eastern Dairy Business Magazine and Hoards Dairyman for the TetreaultsÕ herd management strategies, and growth over the years. They have never purchased a single cow and have bred and raised the herd entirely on their own.

Dimock Farms on Route 22 in Peru is the other area farm to receive the honor. Don and Martha Dimock purchased the Dimock Farm in 1971 with 60 cows and 275 acres. Their son Bruce is now a partner in the operation, their daughter Anne works full-time on the farm, and BruceÕ s son Sam started working full-time after graduating college. They have increased to 270 cows and 600 acres.

For more than 20 years, the Dimock farm has earned the Ò Super MilkÓ award in New York. In 2007 the farm won the Ò Overall QualityÓ award from Agri-Mark, out of some 1,300 farms in the Agri-Mark family for the quality of their milk.

Ò Communities in the North Country have found great success in growing grapes and producing wine, and the Adirondack Coast Trail will help promote and direct people to this lo-

cal treasure,Ó said Senator Betty Little in a press release. Ò The number of wineries is increasing in this region, and we look forward to adding more as the industry grows.Ó Ò I am pleased the Governor has signed into law the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail legislation.

Harlem Wizards coming to Keeseville

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE Ñ The Harlem Wizards are coming to town, and HulbertÕ s Heros have a thing to say about thes decades long winning streak theyÕ re on.

The Wizards are playing a charity fund-raiser for the Keeseville Elementary SchoolÕ s Family School Association. TheyÕ ll be playing HulbertÕ s Heros, a pickup team made up of teachers, principals, parents and high school students from Keeseville and Ausable schools. They are named after Keeseville Elementary Principal Kevin Hulbert.

As excited as he is about the game itself, itÕ s what the Wizards do off the court that has Hulbert equally

as excited. Ò The Harlem Wizards bring a few players to the school buildings the day of the game,Ó he explains. Ò TheyÕ re sending a positive message about being respectful, going to college, hard work, treating people well, and what it takes to be successful.Ó Most of the Wizards, Hulbert says, have played basketball in college at the Division 1 level, some have played in the NBA and some have spent time on the Harlem Globetrotters.

The money raised will go to the Keeseville FSA, which is an extremely important part of the school.

For the past five years the FSA has purchased all the back to school supplies for Keeseville students in the fall, and for three years has purchased yearbooks for

Mom watches Gibson Brothers win IBMA awards, at home

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com ELLENBURG Ñ For those here in the Gibson Brothers family who couldnÕ t make it to Raleigh, N.C. Thursday, Sept. 26 to see Ò the boysÓ win four International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) awards, watching the ceremony on the computer was the next best thing.

Eric and Leigh GibsonÕ s mother, Shannon, joined her sister, Molly Begor of Rouses Point, at her daughterÕ s home. Erin Gibson LaClair, the boysÕ younger sister, lives a stoneÕ s throw away from their alma mater, Northern Adirondack Central School, where she works as a second-grade teacher. After putting her three young children to bed, it was time to gather around a laptop computer in the front sitting room and watch the IBMA awards ceremony streaming live from the Bluegrass Today website.

Earlier in the day, Eric was awarded the 2013 IBMA Bluegrass Songwriter of the Year award, so the evening began in high spirits. Still, there was a little nervous energy in the air. Even ShannonÕ s 2-year-old schnauzer, Finnegan, was caught up in the buzz, barking with excitement and edgy because of the bluegrass music filling the home. With homemade chili and rolls settling in their stomachs, and the promise of apple crisp for dessert Ñ made with apples picked from ShannonÕ s front yard in Ellenburg Depot Ñ the family settled in to watch the three-hour awards show at 7:30 p.m.

Twenty-nine minutes into the ceremony, the Gibson Brothers were awarded Vocal Group of the Year, and producers played Ò Home on the RiverÓ as band members walked on stage. During the acceptance speech, Leigh thanked his brother. Ò Without his vocal, I probably wouldnÕ t be standing here today, and I owe him my career in bluegrass music because he started the Gibson Brothers before it was called that,Ó Leigh said.

Those words caught Eric by surprise, since theyÕ re known for light-hearted verbal sparring on stage while tuning their instruments. For a moment, their sibling rivalry vanished, and it was filled with mutual respect. Ò Wow,Ó Eric said. Ò I donÕ t know what to say because IÕ m not used to hearing him say anything nice about me.Ó Ò I meant to add,Ó Leigh said, Ò that I wouldnÕ t sound so good if he wasnÕ t singing with me.Ó During their acceptance speech for the third award Ñ Song of the Year for Ò They Called It MusicÓ Ñ Eric invited co-writer Joe

Newberry to the stage to talk briefly about the song. Newberry said it was an honor to receive the award in his hometown.

But Gibson Brothers fans Ñ including those in the LaClair household — were waiting for the final award of the night — the big prize Ñ Entertainer of the Year, an honor the boys won in 2012. Leigh had called it a fluke and predicted it would never happen again.

He was wrong.

Doyle Lawson and Claire Lynch took the podium to announce the Entertainer of the Year award. After reading the nominations, Lynch began opening the envelope. Ò And the award goes to,Ó Lynch said, Ò Oh, my gosh, what a privilege.Ó “Ladies first,” Lawson said. Ò Yes, the Gibson Brothers,Ó Lynch said as the producers played Ò They Called It MusicÓ and band members piled on stage for the third time that evening.

Back home, tears of joy filled the room. Ò Yayyy,Ó Erin said. Ò ItÕ s awesome.Ó Ò Oh, my God. I canÕ t believe it,Ó added Aunt Molly. Ò I told them theyÕ d win that, with that song,Ó Shannon said.

Power Cable

The project is slated to start by 2015, if Transmission Development is granted a go-ahead by the Department of Energy and the Army Corps of Engineers. All state permits are already in place.

They hope to be generating power by 2018. Ò Taken together (Lake Champlain and the Hudson River) we will be the longest, or close to the longest underwater cable in the world,Ó said William Helmer, Executive Vice President and General Counsel with Transmission Developers.

He added that the technology involved in running underwater cable is 60 to 70 years old.

According to Ed Alkiewicz, Senior Environmental Scientist for Aecom, a company working with Transmission Developers Inc., the projectÕ s route is being determined in part by historically significant locations in the lake. Ò We conducted surveys in 2010 and 2012 for shipwrecks and other cultural resources in conjunction with the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, and the cableÕ s route was changed to take Rick Chase, Senior Public Affairs Consultant with Transmission Develthose into account,Ó he said.

Sludge beds adjacent to International Paper in Ticonderoga are opers Inc., shows the proposed route of an underground 1,000 megaalso a subject of concern for the cable route. Project engineers are watt transmission line proposed to be buried in Lake Champlain.

Photo by Shawn Ryan in talks with International Paper about that issue, according to Rick Chase, Senior Public Affairs Consultant with Transmission Developers Inc. The proposed route was also changed to avoid PCB contamination near Troy.

In areas where sub-marine burial is not possible, the cable will primarily follow railroad rights of way.

One issue which has not been resolved yet is how the cable will traverse the remnants of a Revolutionary War defensive wall of pickets near Fort Ticonderoga, which crosses the width of the lake on the lake floor. Similar fortifications exist in the Hudson River north of West Point.

The cable will be buried an average of four feet deep, to protect it from boat anchors and other possible damage. At depths of more than 150 feet, the cable will be laid on the lake bed without burying.

According to Chase, local union labor will be used for the construction of the barge used to lay the cable, and the actual laying of the cable. They anticipate the project to employ an average of 300 people at any given time, with up to 600 at peak construction.

As part of the licensing agreement, Transmission Developers has created a $117 million Environmental Trust Fund to, among other things, study and monitor water quality issues, possible fish habitat destruction, and invasive species. $2.5 million will be available at the financial close of the project, with the remainder slated to be paid out over the next 35 years.

There are no plans in place to tap into the line to provide power for this region.

There has been jurisdictional wrangling between some local municipalities and the state of New York over who owns the property on the lake bottom that the cable will traverse, and thus who will benefit from a change in tax assessment.

The seminar is aimed at helping patients manage fatigue during and after cancer treatment, and learning the

Ò Who told them?Ó Molly asked. Ò With that song,Ó Shannon said. Ò You told them that?Ó Molly said. Ò I told them it would be at the top of the thing, when I heard the song for the first time,” Shannon said about “They Called It Music.Ó In his acceptance speech, Leigh began to thank everyone.

“I thought last year was a fluke for sure,” Leigh said. “I don’t know what to say. We just keep trying to play the music that we hear in our heads and express it. And we feel very fortunate to be able to do this with our lives and to have so many folks think we do it well means a great deal. IÕ d like to thank Paul Lohr and New Frontier Touring for putting us out in front of people and Compass Records for allowing us to make music that we like to make. And I especially would like to thank members of the Gibson Brothers, past and present, for their contribution to what we do. And I canÕ t thank you enough.Ó Eric began his acceptance speech by thanking their families, Ò for putting up with a group of guys that are gone a lot. It takes a selfless family, especially our wives, to put up with what we do. I want to say thank you to God, and I want to hi to my mom listening back home in Ellenburg Depot, New York. Thank you, folks. God bless you.Ó Leigh rushed back to the microphone to say, Ò IÕ d like to say hi to my mom, too,Ó which was followed by laughter and tears from the three women in Ellenburg Ñ the boysÕ mom, sister and Aunt Molly Ñ and a few yips from Finnegan. Ò HeÕ s so silly,Ó Shannon said about Leigh. Ò TheyÕ re always competing. Ô My mom, too.Õ Ó Asked what she thought about Eric and LeighÕ s shout out from the IBMA awards, their mom said, Ò It was a good feeling, a proud feeling. IÕ m proud of Õ em ... IÕ m excited. IÕ m happy for the boys. They worked hard for it.Ó Asked if she gets nervous watching the show, Shannon said, Ò I keep saying, Ô I hope they get at least one award,Õ and they got four, so IÕ m happy. I do get a little nervous sometimes, but itÕ s fun watching it. TheyÕ re good kids.Ó The Gibson Brothers led the IBMA nominations this year. They were also up for Album of the Year for Ò They Called It MusicÓ (won by Balsam Range, Ò PapertownÓ ) and Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year with Ò Home on the RiverÓ (won by Marty Raybon, Ò Beulah LandÓ ). Their newest band member, Jesse Brock, was up for Mandolin Player of the Year (won by Adam Steffey). For more information, visit online at http://ibma.org.

the Man in the Yellow Hat from the childrenÕ s book Ò Curious GeorgeÓ into an undead. Ò Two guys last year were zombie trash collectors, they dragged around trash cans that they beat like drums and were sort of the background music to the walk,Ó Cummins said.

The Zombie Walk is a melting pot for all things zombie and the undead. But Cummins said zombies must not loose themselves in their character too much and forgo human manners. Ò We canÕ t have people touching or grabbing people on the street, the first year some zombies were banging on the windows at a restaurant downtown and that isnÕ t allowed,Ó Cummins said. Ò You can behave like a zombie but donÕ t trash the city.Ó Following the march, at about 7 p.m. the zombies will gather at the Westlecom Stage in the park next to ROTA Gallery at 50 Margaret Street. Cummins said in lieu of the Zombie Prom, the Zombie Walk will lead to a showcase of local talents and entertainment for the whole family. Ò Our hope is to give a lot of entertainment for families,Ó Cummins said. Ò Then weÕ ll give a more scary Halloween later at ROTA.Ó There will be a book signing by North Country author and illustrator, David Monette for his new novel Ò The Zombie Axiom.Ó The novel will be debuted at a release party at 6:30 p.m. at the ROTA Gallery.

There will be 10 to 15 minute performances by fire dancers; JEDI Dance dance corp; Haus of Starrs will perform their fantastic drag show and Chelsea Varin will bring LED powered hula hoops and perform a light show with her former hula hoop class students. Following the outdoor performances, the show will move inside for musical performances inside the ROTA Gallery. Ò We really want to showcase the local talent we have here and give everyone a great night,Ó Cummins said.

The Zombie walk was inspired by a similar walk out in the Rochester area. Ò When we started the Zombie Walk it was with members of the Crafty Geek Brigade and we wanted to show people who say there is nothing to do in Plattsburgh how wrong they are, you just need to get out and do it,Ó Cummins said. Ò People come out for all sorts of reasons.Ó The Crafty Geek Brigade has since disbanded and members of the Lumber Jills Roller Derby team and other community and student-run groups continue to organize the event. Ó Our club helps put on the Zombie Walk because we love to get campus involved in community events,Ó Veronica Miller, co-president of the SUNY Plattsburgh Zombie Defense League said. Ò We also are fortunate enough to have a great community that is enthusiastic about such a Halloween-oriented event and so Zombie Defense League wouldnÕ t ever pass up the opportunity to help out.Ó Miller said that as a new co-president and a fan of the annual walk sheÕ d love to see an even bigger turn out for this yearÕ s walk. During last yearÕ s festivities, she said the most memorable part was seeing the faces of onlookers. Ò We passed by a few restaurants downtown and IÕ m pretty sure we terrified a fair share of unsuspecting diners,” Miller said. Ò It amazes me that we can have three hundred or more people gathering as zombies. I canÕ t wait for the performances after the walk this year.Ó Registration will begin at 6 p.m. in the Durkee Street Parking lot and the walk will begin at 6:30 p.m.
