denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ On the Himalayan Mountains, the sound from a Dranyen, a traditional Himalayan lute, fills the air as it’s strummed by a Tibetan folk singer and songwriter known as Techung. Ò WhatÕ s unique about Tibetan music is that we are a sound that is very close to the mountains,Ó Techung said. Ò Our songs are always in tune with the natural world.Ó Techung, also known as Tashi Dhondup Sharzur, will be sharing his knowledge of Tibetan music by visiting multiple classes, teaching a workshop and performing a concert at SUNY Plattsburgh early this March before going to New York City to finish his New York tour.

Originally, Techung didnÕ t plan to stop at SUNY Plattsburgh during his tour until Tenzin and Yangchen Dorjee, owners of the Himalayan restaurant in Plattsburgh, asked Techung to stop by. Ò Since he was coming all the way to New York City, I said Ô why not take a chance to invite him to the university,Ó Yangchen Dorjee said. Ò WeÕ ve been doing all of these Tibetan things, bringing Tibetan culture, traditions, music into the community and Tibetan muscian Techung will be playing traditional Tibetan music at SUNY Plattsburgh March 7 at the E. Glenn Glitz Auditorium.

less of who else has entered the race recently. Ò The Clinton County Republican Committee endorsed Elise last month and did so with very good reason. Our opinion of her as the strongest candidate has not changed and we will continue to support her campaign.Ó

WATERTOWN — The fledgling campaign of Matthew M. Doheny got a quick boost when he was endorsed by the state Independence Party for the 21st Congressional District seat.

The endorsement will mean a guaranteed line on the November ballot, since the state party organization is responsible for nominating the candidate. Ò WeÕ re pleased to stand with Matt Doheny, who has been a great ambassador for our party in previous elections,Ó said state Independence Party Chairman Frank MacKay in a news release. Ò Matt is a natural leader, bringing together disparate interests in business and working sensibly to find compromise for the benefit of all. He’s been an outspoken advocate for our principles of limited government and lower taxes, which spur job growth.

We think he is the best candidate to represent the interests of the North Country, Adirondacks and Capital Region.Ó Joseph L. Baruth Sr., vice-chairman of the state Independence Party and chairman of the Lewis County party committee, was enthusiastic about Mr. Doheny entering the fray. Ò We were glad to see Matt commit to the campaign,Ó Baruth said.

The Constableville resident said that as a candidate, Doheny has even more positives than he did in the 2012 race.

“I find him not just an excellent candidate, but an improved candidate,Ó Mr. Baruth said. Ò His new family has brought stability to his thinking and made him more aware of a broader range of issues.Ó

Baruth said he believed Mr. Doheny would win the Republican primary on June 24. Ò I am not saying anything against the other candidates, but I donÕ t think they can stand up against Matt,Ó he said. Ò With them, I donÕ t see the clear understanding of north country issues, or an awareness of the importance of Fort Drum.Ó Doheny said he was pleased with the partyÕ s decision to back him. Ò IÕ m humbled and excited over this boost to my campaign,Ó he said. Ò I look forward to campaigning with their backing.Ó Mr. Doheny said the endorsement becomes even more important on Nov. 4. Ò It will be a competitive election,Ó he said. Ò That means we need every vote we can get.Ó The endorsement makes Mr. Doheny the first candidate guaranteed a ballot line for the Nov. 4 election. He is also seeking the Republican and Conservative party lines.

Winter Classic at Mahoney Pond

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN Ñ Nothing says hockey in the North Country like a frozen pond in the dead of winter.

March 1 will bring the first annual “Winter Classic at Mahoney PondÓ to Champlain. The charity game will feature two teams of officers from Clinton Prison, and benefits both St. Jude’s hospital, and a 27-year-old correction officer suffering from stage four liver cancer. Ò ItÕ s just neat to play outside on a natural rink in the elements,Ó says organizer Liam Mahoney. Ò If Mother Nature cooperates.Ó Mahoney and several other corrections officers at Clinton came up with the idea while brain-storming on how to help their ailing co-worker. Including St. JudeÕ s, he says, seemed like an obvious charity to support.

Mahoney says theyÕ ve received support from NYSCOPA, Budweiser and several local businesses. There will be raffles after the game, including among other items a Gordie Howe miniature statue and other hockey paraphernalia. The game will be recorded for Hometown Cable as well.

Following the game will be a barbecue and a free skate for spectators.

There are already plans for two games next winter, including a challenge of one of the powerhouse Border Patrol teams. The puck will fall on the Winter Classic at 10 a.m. at Mahoney Pond in Champlain.

ESSEX Ñ Win Belanger, Essex County Republican 1st ViceChair, released the following statement on behalf of hospitalized Essex County Chair and NYS Regional Chair, Ron Jackson: Ò Over the last few months, twelve County Republican Committees held open meetings to interview and select Ò the bestÓ representative to challenge Congressman Bill Owens. During the process, the Congressman announced he would not be running again, and our process continued to draw more candidates for interviewing. On February 5th, 11 Chairs of the Republican County Committees of the 21st Congressional district selected Elise Stefanik as the candidate to best represent all the counties as our Congresswoman in Washington. This fact remains; she is still the best possible candidate regardless of the Ò Johnny Come Lately,Ó stated 1st Vice-Chair Win Belanger.

Belanger went on to say: Ò How disappointing it is to hear Mayor Maroun say he will not run if Mr. Doheny does, and then Doheny decides to run. Both had ample opportunity to weigh in against Bill Owens, they did not. Both men had ample opportunity to weigh in against Stefanik, they did not. They only came forward after a Democrat was selected that they felt they could beat. Where are the same two men who previously felt that backing the committee selection was the way it should be? Those were the gentlemen that helped our party. Both Ron Jackson and I respect the right of those late comers to enter the race and look forward to their participation. Our regret is their lack of participation in the open and fair process.Ó Don Lee, Chair of the Clinton County Republican Committee, also reaffirmed his committee’s support for Stefanik, despite additional candidates jumping in the 21st Congressional District race. Lee released the following statement of support today on behalf of the Clinton County Republican Committee: Ò Elise Stefanik came to the Clinton County Republican Committee endorsement meeting and proved to us she is absolutely the best candidate in this race. She knows North Country issues,

Plattsburgh Air Force Base Museum to open this summer Opening at the former War of 1812 Museum location

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ As the Battle of Plattsburgh Association ramps up for the upcoming 200th anniversary of the Battle of Plattsburgh, big changes are going on at the former location of the War of 1812 Museum.

Just across the street from the 31 Washington Road museum, the Battle of Plattsburgh Association is putting together a Ò Plattsburgh Air Force Base Museum,Ó to commemorate the rich

history of the 40 year Cold War mission of one of the most strategically important air bases in the United States. They are currently soliciting artifacts to be donated, or put on loan to the museum.

“Anything that has to do with flying, the Cold War, anything related to the support apparatus,Ó said War of 1812 Director Dave Deno of the museumÕ s current needs. Ò There was such a huge base here, it should be explored. WouldnÕ t it be nice to have a way to explore it?Ó The idea came about last spring from Battle of Plattsburgh Association President Keith Herkalo.

Deno also is inviting anyone interested in learning more about the museum, or volunteer-

ing opportunities, to attend a monthly meeting of the Association. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the War of 1812 Museum.

In preparation of the scheduled June 7 grand opening of the Air Force base Museum, the Association is collecting oral history remembrances from anyone interested on March 12, at 7 p.m. at the 1812 Museum. Ò If you have a story to tell, a happy moment or a sad one or just some anecdote that you would like to share, this is the time and place to do it.Ó The oral history project, Deno says, will not be as formal and rigid as some oral history projects tend to be, but rather just people, military

or civilian, coming in and telling their stories.

Plattsburgh Air Force Base Museum memberships are also available at the 1812 Museum.

The cost for membership is $25 for an individual, or $50 for a family.

The Battle of Plattsburgh Association has also announced their 2014 battle of Plattsburgh Bicentennial Essay Contest, in cooperation with the North Country Teacher Resource Center.

The essay contest, open to grades 4 & 5, 6 - 8, and 9 - 12 touts over $1,000 in combined prize money. Specific entry information for the essay contest is available on Facebook at 2014 Battle of Plattsburgh Bicentennial Essay Contest.

Opinion North Countryman Editorial

Prison, the college alternative?

T

housands of New York State families struggle every day to pay the costs of college education for their children. In most cases students are forced to mortgage their futures by borrowing to pay for college, graduating with an average debt of about $30,000 while earning a bachelorÕ s degree.

Now there may be an alternative for families who donÕ t have the money for college and students who donÕ t want to go deep into debt.

They can go to prison.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has announced a new statewide initiative to give incarcerated individuals the opportunity to earn a college degree through funding college classes in prisons across New York. The governor cites studies that show college education for prisoners dramatically decreases recidivism rates while saving money.

Those who earn a college degree while in prison are less likely to end up behind bars again, he said, therefore decreasing the number of inmates in New York state prisons.

The initiative will provide college level education at 10 New York State prisons, one in each region of the state. The program would offer both associateÕ s and bachelorÕ s degrees. Ò Giving men and women in prison the opportunity to earn a college degree costs our state less and benefits our society more,” Cuomo said. Ò New York State currently spends $60,000 per year on every prisoner in our system, and those who leave have a 40 percent chance of ending up back behind bars. Existing programs show that providing a college education in our prisons is much cheaper for the state and delivers far better results. Someone who leaves prison with a college degree has a real shot at a second lease on life because their education gives them the opportunity to get a job and avoid falling back into a cycle of crime.Ó Cuomo may be right about providing college educations to criminals, but shouldnÕ t New York State be doing more to help hard-working, lawabiding families with college?

Costs to attend one of the 64 State University of New York campuses vary, but the average for the 2013-14 academic year is $22,700, according to SUNY. SUNY costs have increased an average of 8.6 percent a year for the past decade, according to a study by the Albany Times Union newspaper.

The average SUNY student earning a bachelorÕ s degree leaves school owing $22,575 in student loans, according to SUNY. The national average is $26,600.

That makes the SUNY system Ò an excellent value,Ó according to SUNY. Is it?

ItÕ s true SUNY costs can be half of some major

private colleges and universities, but often the actual costs to families and students are much higher at SUNY than at private schools. ThatÕ s because financial aid is virtually nil for a middle class student in SUNY, while private schools can offer attractive financial aid packages.

Not only does the lack of financial aid cost New York families, it forces many of its top students to leave the state for higher education. Often they leave and never come back.

Look at the case of a local student, a national merit scholarship semifinalist, whose college choice came down to SUNY-Geneseo and the University of Notre Dame.

The cost to attend Geneseo, arguably SUNYÕ s top academic campus, in 2013-14 is $21,670. Geneseo offered no scholarship assistance to the local student, although it did offer loans.

The cost to attend Notre Dame, generally ranked among the leading universities in the country, in 2013-14 is $57,117. Notre Dame offered the local student nearly $40,000 in scholarships.

In the end it cost the local family less to have their student attend a $57,117 university in Indiana than a $21,670 college in New York.

That situation is not unique, particularly among high-achieving, middle class students Ñ the very students New York State should be trying to keep at home.

CuomoÕ s plan to educate prison inmates may be sound, but it also seems like sound policy to promote a public education system that rewards New YorkÕ s best students and encourages them to keep their talents at home. Where is the help for those students?

Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb railed against the governorÕ s proposal. Ò If the state is going to hand out free college educations, why donÕ t we start with deserving students who actually respect the law?,Ó Kolb said. Ò This proposal is an insult to families struggling to find money for tuition, to young men and women who take on mountains of debt in student loans, and to the millions of New Yorkers who pay the highest taxes in the nation and are now asked to subsidize college degrees for criminals. Ò Paying for a college education is an issue that keeps parents up at night,Ó Kolb said. Ò It is a massive financial commitment that has become even more onerous as years have gone on. Any effort to reward convicts with something that law-abiding men and women can hardly afford is an affront to all New Yorkers.Ó We agree. Ñ

On understanding and maintaining well-being, the women agreed that knowing, honoring and accepting yourself first leads to the best results in personal and professional life. Taking care of what they CAN control is crucial in this process; healthy diet, sleep, exercise and surrounding themselves with positive, inspiring people are the building blocks of staying strong and happy.

Finding the Ò sweet spotÓ between work and play is something they are always striving to achieve. Creating organized, clean and esthetically pleasing environments helps them in both getting work accomplished and then relaxing when it is done! Quiet time, which includes a Ô turn off of technologyÕ , is crucial to all three in this overall equation of balance.

Our last question reflected on what they thought young women should be taught outside of school to become balanced, independent and successful. All of our speakers share a unique and special blessing; they came from backgrounds of love, acceptance, and high expectations. In spite of this foundation, they each live and work in a spirit of gratitude rather than entitlement.

Having gratitude and being kind are essential aspects of wellbeing that, they all expressed, cannot be ignored. These women reminded us of a very important life lesson Ð we are all given unique gifts and it is our responsibility to attend to them. We all have the power to nurture or squander these gifts.

Wednesday March 12 Mary Duprey & Julie Reidy of Empower Fitness and Yoga Wednesday March 26 Diane Miller on Creating a Beautiful Environment Email us with questions and appointment requests at yourstyleandsubstance@gmail.com StefaniÕ s original owner passed away and the family member that took her in can no longer provide care. She is a sweet tempered cat that is used to living in a loving home. When she arrived at Elmore she was afraid and didnÕ t quite know what to think of her new surroundings. After only a few days she quickly realized that life wasnÕ t so bad and she really opened up to staff and volunteers. This little girl just loves hanging out with the other cats in the cat colony. She enjoys lounging, followed by more lounging, then a snack and then back to lounging! She is a shy and good tempered cat that will do well in most homes. Stefani is a gorgeous cat that would love to find her forever home. Come in and meet her! Stefani is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for FeLV/FIV and is spayed.

Letters to the Editor

Editorial Missing the Point To the North Countryman: I was saddened to read your recent Op-Ed in support of repeal of the SAFE Act, because it seemed to me that it quite clearly missed the point on what this legislation is trying to do and at the same time you seemingly glossed over the problem of gun violence in America today.

The legislation is aimed at Mass Shootings (ones that involves the killing of four or more people in a single place according to the FBI), hence the limit on ammunition. Yes, people are murdered in lots of different ways in America. Even knives kill people. However, I think you would agree that if Adam Lanza had walked into Sandy Hook Elementary school wielding a knife rather than a fully loaded Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle it would not have resulted in the death of 20 children and six of the schoolÕ s staff.

No legislation is perfect. Finding the right way to attack this problem from both a criminal and psychological perspective is difficult. I applaud the Governor for at least trying something.

What is the response of the gun control lobby? ItÕ s to do nothing, hide behind the Second Amendment, complain about what an imposition it is for hunters, and let these senseless deaths continue on. We hear a lot of complaints from the NRA about background checks and the NRAÕ s Washington lobbyists quickly quash any hint of legislation that attempts to curtail the deaths of thousands of Americans each year. We never hear any word of a plan to help America deal with this problem from pro-gun groups.

Finally, your editorial blithely skims over the growing list of mass shootings in this country and even refers to Sandy Hook as an Ò outlier.Ó Mass shootings happen about once every two weeks in this country, hardly a number that we should scoff at.

There have been 146 mass shootings in America since 2006 and over 900 people have lost their lives. Certainly that deserves more mention than a throw away line in your piece. And by the way, even if this problem is, as you suggest, overblown, limiting the number of guns and rounds would surely have an impact broadly on other deaths due to gun violence.

Yes, even with the SAFE Act people will continue to use guns

and kill each other and themselves. ItÕ s is not perfect, but certainly an attempt to tackle at least one part of the problem shouldnÕ t be met with so much derision and resistance.

Evan George Westport

Divided, puzzled To the North Countryman: When it comes to gun safety laws I find myself divided about whatÕ s right and whatÕ s possible. ItÕ s a tough problem. And I have never heard a discussion of it in which any two or three people agreed on anything. Try reaching a consensus about gun safety you might as well make jello stick to a wall.

So I am somewhat puzzled about how the editors of the Valley News (how many are there actually?) arrived at solid agreement on every last thought and every word of their joint and very angry editorial demanding repeal of the state SAFE act.

Agreement on every last word, that is. The Newtown school shooting they all agree was, Ò an outlier in the world of homicides if there ever was one...Ó Really? An exception perhaps, statistically speaking, since our editors and the FBI tally nearly 10,000 gun killings of one kind or another in 2012. But an Ò outlier?Ó The killing of 20 children and six adults in a school is an outlier? Where, in Connecticut? Come on guys. The English language is your bread and butter. How did you come on that word?

I am told that since the Newtown shooting many public schools now practice a drill they call a Ò lockdown.Ó ItÕ s not unlike the old fire drills except the kids don’t evacuate the school building. They are herded and sometimes locked into closets and other enclosed areas where they are presumably safe from any crazed individual bent on mayhem. From which we may conclude (canÕ t we?) that school authorities donÕ t think about Newtown as an outlier nor even that it is statistically insignificant. I know a 10 year old who gets the hebee jeebies and has a sleepless night after every one of these drills in his city school.

He hasnÕ t yet taken a course in statistics.

I donÕ t pretend to know all the answers to this problem of

gun control but I do think it must be addressed one way or another. Dismissing it and the GovernorÕ s motives in unison is as easy as singing in a barbershop quartet. But it doesnÕ t make the problem go away. We have DWI laws intended as prevention.

Why not to a proper gun law? Is a car driven by a drunk more a killing machine than an automatic weapon in the hands of a crackpot? The Governor isnÕ t altogether wrong. If 10 rounds in the magazine arenÕ t needed to hunt deer, what are they needed for? Short of a war I canÕ t think of a practical reason. Of course there is always the lunatic who needs 10 rounds at least if he is out to slaughter a crop of school kids before the sheriff gets him.

There is no law that says you need to like CuomoÕ s law. Nor, as our editors claim, will it help the Governor get elected to national office. And yes, there are second amendment rights.

There are other rights as well. The right to life for one thing.

According to the Center for Disease Control its not 10,000 but 32,000 gun deaths a year in the United States. In some cities the numbers are simply awful and in gang areas right to life has all but lost its meaning. ThatÕ s not just about numbers, statistics, types of weapons, or how many rounds of ammunition do you want. Its about a national scandal and about a duty. Call it a citizenÕ s duty and a journalistÕ s job to face up to a problem and to scrap the boilerplate.

Tibetan Musicians From page 1

here in Plattsburgh, and I thought, Ô okay, now this time weÕ ll bring the musicÕ .Ó Techung, who will be staying at the Himalayan restaurant for his visit, will be on campus from March 4 to March 7. The highlight of this campus tour is the concert March 7 in the E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium in Hawkins Hall at 7:30 p.m., which is sponsored by the SUNY

Plattsburgh Departments of Music, Anthropology and Education, along with Club Asia, Anthropology Club, Asian Studies Committee, the Student Association through the Campus Arts Council and the College Auxiliary Services.

The concert will feature him and band members, Kito Rodriguez, Sherap Wangmo, Rinzing Wangyal and a substitute for Michel Tyabji, playing traditional pieces, freedom songs and songs about gratitude. Ò Part of the reason he performs is to promote traditional Tibetan music, which he feels is in

March 1, 2014

danger,Ó said Amy Mountcastle, associate professor of Anthropology. Ò He is trying to inspire a revitalized interest in Tibetan music and also bring it to the rest of the world.Ó Ò For people to experience these things live, I think really matters because youÕ ll see how their interacting on the stage, and theyÕ re making the music right then in the moment,Ó said Bill Pfaff, associate professor of theory, history and composition. Ò If you go and unveil yourself to a concert experience, you are involved with them in making that exchange. Ò The expressive qualities of it are remarkable.Ó If people arenÕ t able to attend the concert, on March 7 a workshop will take place in Krinovitz Recital Hall in Hawkins Hall from 5 to 8 p.m. where Techung will introduce traditional Tibetan songs, dances and instruments, such as the Dranyen and the Piwang, an Asian violin, to students and community members.

Also, Techung will be visiting classes such as MountcastleÕ s class Tibet in the HimalayaÕ s from 2 to 3:15 p.m. in Redcay 105 March 4 and PfaffÕ s classes Music History from 2 to 3:15 in Myers 112 and Music Technology from 5 to 6:15 in Myers 116. Students from other classes are welcomed to join. Ò IÕ m really looking forward to the opportunity to learn, myself, about the different aspects

of TechungÕ s art and to bring the students into it,Ó Pfaff said. Ò It is a wonderful thing because they have the opportunity to really meet and ask questions of someone whoÕ s upbringing and cultural experience is just so potentially different than what theyÕ ve been exposed to.Ó After his stop at Plattsburgh, Techung and his band will continue their tour to Carnegie Hall in New York City March 11, where they will perform alongside Philip Glass, Iggy Pop and others, leaving New York with a different taste of culture. Ò We are living in a world of different cultures,Ó Techung said. Ò Sometimes people have to travel outside to experience the culture of music, and I feel like I can bring a little of Tibet music to the community.Ó If anyone would like to attend the concert, tickets cost $10 for general admission, $5 for seniors and free for students. Tickets are available at the Angell College Center and in advance at the Himalayan restaurant. If anyone would like to know more about the concert or other events, contact Mountcastle at mountca@plattsburgh. edu. Ò This is an opportunity without leaving the campus to be able to have a multicultural experience, to have a crosscultural kind of interaction,Ó Mountcastle said. Ò ItÕ s really a great opportunity to have him up here.Ó

United Way From page 1

said. Ò WeÕ re competing in many respects for the charitable gifts people are giving.Ó The loss of some major contributors was also mentioned by Bernardi as a challenge faced this year. Ò It was a valiant team effort among campaign team volunteers, United Way staff and employee campaign representatives, but most of all, it was the generosity of businesses, organizations and individuals that made it successful,Ó said Gordon. I am always so impressed to see how people in our region come together for their friends and neighbors.Ó Bernardi said the focus will now turn to assessing the highest priority needs and deciding how funding will be given out to the 40 partnering agencies covered under the United Way umbrella.

Historically, Bernardi says, mental health services are one of the most glaring needs in the North Country. But recently, he said, assistance with basic necessities such as food, clothing, shelter and utilities have risen in priority as well. According to Bernardi, roughly 80,000 people in the United WayÕ s tri-county coverage area.

Typically 35 to 36 of the 40 member agencies apply for funding from the United Way. The rest usually receive funding from contributions which are specifically allocated to that agency by the contributor at the time they contribute.

Along with the volunteers and contributors, Bernardi thanked the local media for helping get the word out in the closing weeks of the campaign.

“It helped us across the finish line,” Bernardi said.

The 2014 campaign was slated to end at the end of January, but three weeks were added to the campaign when the goal had not been reached by that time. By the time of their press conference they had exceeded their goal by $116.

Bernardi was not ready to announce the coming yearÕ s campaign chair person(s), saying that they are still in the process of assessing the needs for the community going forward.
