LOOK GOOD, FEEL BETTER

This Week ENTERTAINMENT

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.

KEESEVILLE Ñ SaturdayÕ s scheduled Honor Flight will be going on as scheduled, despite the ongoing government shut down.

Honor Flights fly veterans from all around the country to Washington D.C., in order for them to experience the recently unveiled World War II monument. When the government instituted a partial shut-down last week, the open-air monument was ringed with barricades and closed to the public. That was until an Honor Flight from the Gulf Coast/Mississippi Chapter pushed aside the barricades, and staked a claim to their own monument. Their actions were captured on video, which immediately went viral.

The monument has thus-far stayed open to the Honor Flights, but representatives of North Country Honor Flight are still wary. Ò The Park Service had the common sense to leave them alone, but maybe when the media loses interest, the barricades will go back up,Ó said Daniel Kaifetz, Director of North Country Honor Flight.

He explained that the government is letting Honor Flights in one bus at a time, under what they are calling a freedom of speech exemption. They could cancel that exemption however, by enforcing a requirement that gatherings over a certain size re-

50 Years of harmony celebrated in annual barbershop show

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Doing anything over 50 years is a long time. Some of us never get to do the same thing for that long. For those that are lucky enough to experience 50 years of anything is a true testament to an individualÕ s commitment. Bob Brooks is such a person. And what he does is sing, and sing, and sing!

Brooks is a member of the Cumberland Bay Barbershop Chorus, a group well known in the North Country for their singing, harmonizing, and commitment to the community. Brooks has been a member of the chorus for over 50 years, and has acquired a vast repetoire of music knowledge over the years. From old standards to rock and roll to patriotic songs, Brooks has sung them all.

On Nov. 9, Brooks, a World War II veteran and recent honor flight recipient, will share his acquired musical collection. The Cumberland Bay chorus will help Brooks relive his past 50 years of barbershopping.

Entitled Ò Jamming with Bob BrooksÓ the chorus will pay a visit to BrooksÕ living room where they will relive many tunes of the past. Sung in four part barbershop harmony, the group will bring back melodies and memories of days gone by. Songs such as Ò Georgia on my mindÓ Ò Zip a de doo dahÓ and Ò Paper moonÓ will take Brooks and the audience back to the good old days, to a time when life was simple, and more carefree.

The show will be held at Hawkins Hall on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus. The show will include the chorus, as well as other groups singing a cappella. These will include the Ò Sweet AdelinesÓ (our local female barbershop chorus); Ò Minor AdjustmentsÓ (a SUNY Plattsburgh a cappella group), and our guest quartet Ò Trade SecretsÓ (an award winning international barbershop quartet).

Starting time for the show is 7 p.m., and tickets can be obtained by calling Dave at at 593-3686 . Tickets can also be purchased online at www.Cumberlandbay.Org or may be purchased at the door. Tickets are $12 general admission, and $10 for seniors. Any group buying 10 or more tickets at a time reduces the cost to $6 a ticket.

The Cumberland Bay Barbershop Chorus will perform Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. at Hawkins Hall on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus.

ADK Coast Wine, Cider, Food Fest scheduled for this weekend PLATTSBURGH Ñ Locally crafted wines will pair with local gourmet food vendors at the second annual Adirondack Coast Wine, Cider and Food Festival at the Crete Civic Center, 41 City Hall Place, Oct. 12, from noon to 8 p.m. This festival will serve up unique local cold climate wines, ciders and farm products from local artisans.

Program helps cancer patients feel better about themselves

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Sometimes, how you look makes all the difference in the world.

The American Cancer Society has a program called Look Good, Feel Better, which provides free makeup and help learning how to properly apply it, to women going through cancer treatments. It also provided wigs, hats and scarves, free of charge, to women who have lost their hair through chemotherapy. Ò During cancer treatment, thereÕ s sometimes a feeling of Ô I want to stay in sweats and not get off the couch,Õ Ó says Stacey LaFave, a social worker at the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center in Plattsburgh. Ò Sometimes putting on a little make-up and looking

a little better can motivate people to get going and feel better.Ó Chemotherapy very often causes a patient to lose their hair, including eyebrow and eyelash hair. It can also cause changes in the skin, including sun sensitivity, which can lead to a paling of the skin. Besides not feeling well physically, women undergoing chemotherapy often donÕ t feel good about the way they look.

Look Good, Feel Better aims to change that. Ò Cancer can really hit people at that lowest level of self-esteem. Not everyone experiences hair loss, but everyone experiences not feeling well...not themselves,Ó says LaFave.

Women taking part in the program are given a gift bag with about $200 worth of name brand makeup, donated by major makeup manufactures to the American Cancer Society. On the second Monday of the month, whoever has signed up that

month meets and they are shown how to apply the makeup by cosmetologists who volunteer with the program.

The program also offers free wigs, hats and scarves, and training on how to properly fit the wigs and how best to tie the scarves. Ò It gives them a little pampering for a day, in a period of time when they could use a little pampering.Ó LaFave estimates the program helps between 24 and 30 women a year. She hopes that anyone who is undergoing cancer treatment, and did not know about the program, will contact CVPH and register.

Women wishing to take part in the program can contact the patient navigator at CVPH at 562-7100 (5010), or the American Cancer Society in Albany at 220,6963.

Harlem Wizards coming to Ausable Valley Central School Oct. 16 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 pick-up 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 posi-

tive 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 elementary students. Ò Not only does it help the parents, but it makes it so that the teachers have all the supplies that they want the students to have,Ó said Hulbert.

The game will be Oct. 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Middle and High School gym at Ausable Valley Central School. Tickets can be purchased in advance at any of the three school offices. Advance

tickets are $8 for students and $10 for adults. Tickets purchased the night of the game are $10 for students and $12 for adults. Ò ItÕ s going to be an entertaining night. IÕ m really looking forward to seeing what we can do to stop this team that has over a 2,000 game winning streak,Ó said Hulbert hopefully.

Viewpoint

Government watchdogs non-existent

Shutdown not why we sent them to Washington

n 1835 Alexis de Tocqueville warned of the possibility of a democratic nation sliding subtly, almost imperceptibly into a state of dictatorship.

“The first thing that strikes the observation is an innumerable multitude of men, all equal and alike, incessantly endeavoring to procure the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives,Ó he wrote. Ò ...he exists but in himself and for himself, and if his kindred still remain to him, he may be said at any rate to have lost his country.Ó We live in a world where our democracy is under attack, and the attackers are the very men and women we continue to elect to protect our rights. It used to be the place of the news media to keep the government in check, but they have largely abdicated that role, and our freedoms are suffering for it.

With recent revelations about successive presidential administrations using the Patriot Act to spy on our day to day phone records, social media usage, even the books we check out of the library, only the slightest murmurs of protest have been heard. The Patriot Act has been re-authorized, and even strengthened, numerous times by politicians of both political stripes.

When legitimate opposition groups have come to the fore, the government has employed the IRS to make the going as difficult for them as possible.

The revelations about our governmentÕ s efforts to spy on its own people have come primarily from two people. The first, Bradley Manning, now sits in a military prison where he is serving a 35 year sentence, and the other, Edward Snowden, is in exile in Russia, likely for the rest of his life.

Senators have publicly called for the death penalty for Snowden if he is ever tried here. Neither used an American media outlet to air their information.

The response from the American press? They have been dutifully silent, content to report on the latest petty and paltry pleasures de Tocqueville warned about.

Neither of these men will be confused with John Jay or Alexander Hamilton, but for the current day and age, any voice in the wilderness will do.

From the time of the Federalist Papers, right up to the era of Watergate, the media understood and accepted its role as watchdog, digging to uncover wrongdoing by politicians from either of the ruling parties. ItÕ s now become a lapdog, happy for the occasional morsel that might fall from the table of the ruling elite. Cutting edge journalism has become who gets the newest Anthony Wiener pic out first.

Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels saw the importance of a complicit media when he wrote: Ò Think of the press as a great keyboard on which government can play.Ó While we have all been collectively distracted by the minutia of our own lives, our government has quietly but decisively learned to play the media like GoebbelsÕ great keyboard. Even the Ò opposition mediaÓ of AM talk radio serves as little more than a launching pad for the books, CDs, t-shirts and even iced tea hawked by the carnival barkers who pass for the voice of the opposition in this country.

Even on the local level, government controls access to the media with an iron grip. State workers fear for their jobs if they speak to the media. Even the stateÕ s public information specialists cannot answer freely, instead insisting questions be submitted in advance, so answers can be vetted by elected officials, when answered at all. The top DOT official in Essex County recently claimed he was targeted by the state for speaking to the media, and was forced to retire.

Many saw the internet and social media as the last great bastion for democratic thought and political dissent. While that certainly exists to some extent, with the recent revelations of government spying, how long could a political dissident survive online before coming onto the governmentÕ s radar screen?

A meaningful national shield law would be the first step to righting this listing ship, if it hasn’t in fact already capsized. There is currently a bill before the shuttered government called the Free Flow of Information Act which, if passed, would be a baby step in the direction of journalistic freedom.

Even if this law is passed, without an aggressive and inquisitive national media, the law would be all but irrelevant. National journalists currently have nothing they need to shield themselves from, except possibly the most recent Anthony Wiener pic. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

I

I am feeling quite unsettled and disconnected lately and think that I need to incorporate a little spirituality in my life.

My kids could use it tooÉ the problem is that I grew up going to church but did not continue going as an adult. I feel like I made a terrible mistake in not having any connection for my kids. Aside from just picking a church and going, which I think my kids would think was very strange, how do I bring spirituality into my life and the life of my family?

A great time to connect with your family is when you sit down to eat. Setting the tone with a blessing and gratitude puts everyone in a place of presence and connection. A blessing can relieve the stress of the day and open up the possibility of meaningful conversation.

We both say Grace at our tables and have some excellent experiences to pass on; SallyÕ s family has continued with a silly blessing, holding hands, which has undoubtedly taken the edge off a hard or trying day and made way for laughs and caring. We hold hands, no matter who comes to our tableÉ and say, Ò Thank you for the world so sweet, thank you for the food we eat, thank you for the birds that sing, thank you God for everythingÓ . Often accompanied by someoneÕ s giggleÉ .and inevitably, I can physically feel the release of tension, the change in energy, and a sense of ease in which to begin the meal.

At more celebratory meals, we have taken the time to write a blessing and most recently with friends, we started the meal with a toast of thankfulness for our friends and Ò Ten Ways to Love MoreÓ , as follows: Listen without interrupting, Speak without accusing, Give without sparing, Pray without ceasing, Answer without arguing, Share without pretending, Enjoy without complaint, Trust without wavering, Forgive without punishing, Promise without forgetting.

In MicheleÕ s family, Grace is often said mid-meal. Putting dinner on the table for six people most often takes logistical planning and precision effort. However; as soon as everyone is seated, we stop and give thanks. A traditional Grace is said but always with personal thought s and experiences from our day. This ritual has kept us together through many experiences, remaining joyful through the most difficult.

Bringing a spiritual quality to your life can be a very simple act Ð In beginning your meal with a blessing; • Think of what is or has been on your mind…or someone elseÕ s mind • Think of the intention you want to set • Think about gratitude; what is good, not what is bad • Speak of these with ease from your heart…no one can ever argue with that!

This new ritual will very quickly and easily become a welcome routine and a place for you to find connection.

blame both parties. Those numbers alone prove how successful the politicians have been at dividing the country. With no majority opinion they are free to play their games.

Adding to the problem is a national media more concerned about their bottom lines than investigative reporting. For every strong right wing argument someone on the left has a counter argument they see as more realistic. Conversely for every left wing argument someone on the right has a counter argument they see as more realistic. Neither side is accountable to the American public as a whole and the national media are serving as enablers for a government without a true non partisan watchdog. Without an accurate independent gauge, the public gravitates to the information that affirms their beliefs right or left. That only Results in greater animosity and doubt in the motives of both sides and making the divide between the two parties even greater with every passing day.

Somehow, someway we need to return to our true core values. Earlier last week there was a news story regarding a soccer event. When the national anthem was to be sung the public address system went out. In unison over 15,000 spectators began singing the national anthem. Instinctively people knew what to do and how they felt about the country. Liberals and conservatives both love this country but instead of working to solve the minor differences we have weÕ ve allowed the media and the politicians to pit us against each other. That simple fact underscores everything about this shutdown.

When it comes to issues and politics we’ve lost the instinctive ability to recognize fact from fiction, to see the difference between those helping themselves at our expense and those genuinely sincere about serving their country. Day by day we are losing our way in the wilderness and neither side has put forth a leader that the country as a whole can have true faith in and get behind.

ItÕ s a sad commentary for a once proud nation, now lost in its own successes and careening further off course with every passing day.

When you walk into BegorÕ s theyÕ ll greet you by name if youÕ re a regular, and will get to know you if you’re a first time customer. It’s that personal service, and a well stocked and growing inventory, that has helped BegorÕ s grow from a small cinder-block building 24 years ago to the sprawling store and sales yard it is today. Ò We have had a lot of great local support right from the start,Ó said Norma Begor. Ò WeÕ ve met some really nice people over the years.Ó BegorÕ s was a family affair from the very beginning. Larry Begor was working as a salesman in 1989, and was on the road a lot. In his travels, he came across a family hardware store in Vermont. He and his wife Norma thought that they could possibly open something similar in a small vacant building they had next to their house. At around that same time, their son Jamy was graduating from college with a business degree, and he decided that he would make the business his career as well.

Begor’s has everything you would find at a well stocked hardware store, plus items you might not expect like space heaters, pumps, propane, lawn and garden needs, pet food,

feed, and carpet cleaners. A veritable wall of wood pellets commands the front yard in preparation for the winter heating season. In recent years they have expanded into excavating supplies such as culvert pipes, drainage and leech field pipes, and septic tanks.

DonÕ t try to carry a bag of dog food out to your car while youÕ re at BegorÕ s, because they take pride in loading your car or truck for you.

They also deliver their bigger items, like excavating supplies or wood pellets to customers up to 100 miles away.

One thing BegorÕ s likes to do is to give back to the customers who have supported them over the years. A big event on their calendar is a yearly visit from Santa before Christmas. Last year cars filled the parking lot and lined Route 11, and the line for pictures with Santa was the length of the store.

Another event is their upcoming customer appreciation day, on Oct. 19. Coffee and donuts are on the menu, and door prizes are in the offing for BegorÕ s loyal customers. Ò ItÕ s our day to give back,Ó said Jamy. Ò The people of Mooers are there for each other. Everybody knows everybody in Mooers.Ó Jamy is considering more expansion at their current location, including a drive-through pole-barn, so items can be loaded in inclement weather. But as BegorÕ s continues to grow, their dedication to personal service and quality will surely remain the same.

Man arrested for public lewdness

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Plattsburgh Police arrested a man for lewdness after a woman reported he was following her in his vehicle while masturbating.

After interviews, police arrested Roger Gregory Jr., of Mooers, charging him initially with public lewdness a misdemeanor. Detectives have taken over the investigation and are in the process of interviewing other witnesses who may have witnessed similar conduct from Gregory during the past several weeks.

The police department released photos of Gregory as well as his car and are interested in speaking with anyone who may have information about this incident or others in the past several weeks.

Heroin bust called largest in Clinton County PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Adirondack Drug Task Force (ADTF) on Oct. 2 arrested two men in possession of what is believed to be the largest single seizure of heroin to date in Clinton County.

ADTF arrested James D Walker, 28, of Schenectady and Jose Alicea, 27, of Scotia for the class B Felony of Possession of a Controlled Substance third degree. The arrests are a result of an investigation that began in May, 2013.

At approximately 11:15 a.m., Police stopped a 2013 Ford occupied by Alicea and Walker on Route 3 in the Town of Plattsburgh. Upon being stopped, Alicea led officers on a brief foot

chase but he was apprehended a short time later.

A search warrant was executed on the vehicle at the Plattsburgh Police Department and 600 bags of heroin, all packaged for resale, were seized with an estimated street value of $30,000.

The ADTF is comprised of members of the Plattsburgh Police Department, New York State Police, Clinton County SheriffÕ s Department, Clinton County District AttorneyÕ s Office, US Drug Enforcement Agency, US Border Patrol and US Customs and Border Protection.

Power Cable From page 1

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 those into account,Ó he said.

Sludge beds adjacent to International Paper in Ticonderoga are also a subject of concern for the cable route. Project engineers are 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 Rick Chase, Senior Public Affairs Consultant labor will be used with Transmission Developers Inc., shows for the construc- the proposed route of an underground 1,000 tion of the barge megawatt transmission line proposed to be used to lay the buried in Lake Champlain. cable, and the acPhoto by Shawn Ryan tual 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.

Honor Flight From page 1

With several honor flights already behind them, Kaifetz discussed how moving an experience it has been for the veterans who are able to go. Of the 16.5 million people who served in the armed forces during WWII, only 1 million veterans are still alive. Ò I tell them you carry 15 of your war buddies with you. TheyÕ re seeing it through your eyes, the 15 million who couldnÕ t go,Ó said Kaifetz. The feeling of closure that most of the Honor Flight participants are experiencing is profound, said Kaifetz. He has seen veterans talk about the war for the first time in nearly 70 years. Ò ItÕ s a life changing experience for so many people,Ó he said.

North Country Honor Flights has put together a yearbook of their first several flights which will be sold locally to raise money for future flights. They are currently looking for local businesses who would like to buy advertising in the book. Interested businesses can contact Kaifetz at 834-9901.

SaturdayÕ s Honor Flight will be leaving from the old base oval at 6:45 a.m.

Fifteen North Country WW-II veterans will be on board, including two from Vermont for the first time. Among the heroes on the flight are a Brigadier General, two D-Day veterans, and a Silver Star recipient from 101st Airborne Division.

The public is encouraged to attend the Flag Ceremony at the Old Base Parade Grounds, U.S. Oval, at 7 a.m. sharp, followed by the Sendoff Ceremony at Plattsburgh International Airport at 7:45 a.m. prior to the flight. This is the last flight of the year for North Country Honor Flight. Next spring flights will resume on May 17, 2014.
