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.

Stefanik still Republican choice across the board

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, sheÕ s very intelligent, sheÕ s hardworking and has demonstrated she has the energy and drive to be a forward-looking candidate.

Ò Her ties to the community and small business experience, coupled with her understanding of the unique needs of the district, make Elise our best candidate to win this seat back, regardless 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

Doheny throws hat in ring for 21st WATERTOWN Ñ Matt Doheny announced his bid for New YorkÕ s 21st Congressional District seat. Ò I was honored that more than 120,000 voters chose me to represent them during the last election,Ó said Doheny. Ò Many told me they appreciated my real-world experience in tackling tough problems and working together with competing interests to find common ground. That approach and real-world experience is sorely needed in a Congress too full of career insiders.Ó “I’ve made a career out of finding ways to create growth opportunities, turn troubled companies around, balance budgets and protect American jobs,Ó said Doheny, a Watertown businessman. Ò I want to apply that expertise to the problems facing Congress, while helping my community Ð the North Country, Adirondacks and Capital Region Ð attract good-paying jobs that are vital in the 21st century economy.Ó Doheny managed the distressed assets division of a Fortune 500 company for eight years. He became an expert in both identifying what caused companies to fail and how to improve them so that they

could stay in business and retain American jobs.

Doheny later formed his own local investment firm and now uses his acquired knowledge in turnarounds, development and business reforms while serving on the boards of directors of several national companies, such as Kodak, YRC Worldwide and Affinity Gaming.

Doheny, the son of Sandra Ò KayÓ and the late Richard Doheny, grew up in the North Country and graduated from Alexandria Central School.

In weighing his run, Doheny received an outpouring of encouragement from friends, family, neighbors, party leaders, elected officials and a few local newspapers. Ò I was humbled by strangers who stopped me in the grocery store or at the gas station and urged me to run again.

Several friends I met on the campaign trail called and offered an encouraging word,Ó said Doheny. Ò IÕ m going to be out there every day working hard to get elected and be a good representative for them in Congress.Ó Doheny will seek the Republican, In-

dependence and Conservative party lines for the Nov. 4 election.

He was all three partiesÕ candidate during the 2012 election Ð one of the closest House races in the nation. Rep. Bill Owens won by 1.9 percent in a district in which President Barack Obama carried by 6.1 percent.

Doheny was also part of one of the closest House races in 2010, with just 1,990 votes separating him from the incumbent Ð while a fellow Republican who stayed on the Conservative Party line received 10,507 votes.

DohenyÕ s enterance into the race will force a primary fight with North Country Republican Party choice Elise Stefanik.

Stefanik, 29, from Essex County, was endorsed by the North Country Republican chairs earlier in February.

Stefanik’s office was unavailable for comment.

Other Republicans who have expressed an interest in running for theie pertyÕ s nod include Joe Gibson and Jamie Waller, both from hamilton County, and Michael Ring from Adams Center.

Doheny receives Independent Party nomination 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. ÒW eÕ 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. ÒM att is a natural leader, bringing together disparate interests in business and working sensibly to find compromise for the benefit of all. HeÕ 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. ÒW e were glad to see Matt commit to the campaign,Ó B aruth 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,” Mr. Baruth said. Baruth said he believed Mr. Doheny would win the Republican primary on June 24. ÒI am not saying anything against the other candidates, but I donÕ t think they can stand up against Matt,Ó he said. ÒW ith 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. ÒI Õ m humbled and excited over this boost to my campaign,Ó he said. ÒI look forward to campaigning with their backing.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 Pond” 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.

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.

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.

Letters to the Editor

Editorial Missing the Point To the Burgh: 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 Burgh: 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.

“duo parnas” to perform in North Creek

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Most siblings born two years apart create some sort of a ruckus together. Few create the kind of beautiful music that duo parnas will be bringing to North Creek March 1.

Originally hailing from Rensselaer County, violinist Madalyn, 22, and cellist Cicely, 20, Parnas have been musical virtuosos almost since they were able to hold their instruments.

As competitive off the stage as they are on, the pair has set a musical standard unequaled by musicians twice their age. Ò Their profound artistry speaks of their lifelong partnership and performance career. First officially recognized in Carnegie Hall with a 1st prize win at the 2008 International Chamber Music Ensemble Competition, the duo soon after earned rave reviews in The New York Times for their performances rife with excitement and flawless technique,” read one biography of the sisters.

The pair both attended The College of St. Rose in Albany, Cicely starting college at thetender age of 15. They excelled in college as much as they have on stage, and eventually proceeded on to Indiana UniversityÕ s JacobÕ s School of Music.

Their musical accomplishments are lengthy.

Madalyn and Cicely have had the honor of collaborating with the great artist Peter Serkin. The Parnas/Serkin Trio played at The New School, PeopleÕ s Symphony Concerts, Brattleboro Music Center, and twice at the Music Mountain Festival, including other venues.

Duo parnas has also collaborated in chamber music performance with world-renowned artists Jaime Laredo and Sharon Robinson.

Additionally, Madalyn and Cicely have had the honor of working with the illustrious and award-winning composers Lera Auerbach, William Bolcom, Paul Moravec, and Charles Wuorinen on their string duo works. Mr. Moravec has written a duo for them entitled Parnas Duo. The duo has released two studio CDs, Parnas Double released in 2008 includes music by Han-

Ò As a new organization just starting, weÕ re extremely proud of the attention weÕ ve been able to attract to our downtown.

First Weekends Vice President Leigh Simonette agrees, “Our first year was such a success and we made a good name for the organization and started to bring some real attention to our

downtown. This year weÕ re looking to do more of the same. We have a great board, a great organization, and this event will allow us to continue on.Ó As First Weekends grows in attendance our local businesses are starting to see the economic impact. These first weekends are family friendly, free to the public, and enhance the overall quality of life in Plattsburgh. Ò The Pepper is another staple business in our historic district and we are very excited to be a partner to them.

TheyÕ ve been supportive from day one and Michelle and her staff continue to show that ongoing support. ItÕ s inspiring and makes me proud of what Plattsburgh is becoming,Ó Simonette continued.

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 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

United Way

www.the-burgh.com 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

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.

Conservation Woodshop I

stopped in for fuel one day, to satisfy my thirsty 6 liter V-8 engine and got talking to a fellow at the local CITGO gas station in Port Henry. Turns out, he does all kinds of woodworking projects.

After a while, Mike Blaise and I got into a discussion about bees and bee hives. He really got my ear, when the conversation led to Top Bar Hives and how they were important for raising bees.

If someone is concerned about pollinators and raising bees in a

By Rich Redman more natural way, Mike would recommend a Top Bar Hive. This style of bee hive is different from the Langstroth style box hive traditionally used in raising bees.

After yaking for a while, we decided to set a day and time to go to a site and see one in operation.

Mike took me to Derrick and Loni SpragueÕ s homestead in Moriah to show me a Top Bar Hive they had built with MikeÕ s help. After donning some Beekeeper personal protective equipment, (PPE in fire fighter lingo), these masters of bee craftsmanship showed my wife Diane and I how a Top Bar hive actually functions and performs. It was cool!

A Top Bar hive lets the bees create their own honeycomb in a rounded shape, which is called a catenary curve. As cavity nest-

Conservation

Conversations

ers, the bees will make their own rounded honeycomb by what is called festooning. The bees get all lined up next to each other in the curved shape and form the comb by secreting beeswax from wax glands. The wax is shaped into interconnected hexagons forming the comb. The individual hexagon cells in the comb are sized for their needs; a drone bee has one size cell, a worker bee another size. Storage of pollen and honey are also in cells.

After a few tours of bee duty at the Sprague residence, some other interested visitors are now getting together and building their own Top Bar Hives with Mike and Derricks help. These folks in Moriah have decided to do more than think about the birds and the bees. Pollination is on their mind!

They are building Top Bar Hives and will be placing them around their property to help in the pollination of wild apple trees, domestic fruit trees and vegetables in the area. These hives will help out with other plants requiring pollinators too. Along with the hives they are planting wildflowers and clover mixes to help feed the bees.

If all this talk of pollinating interests you, than you need to check out this bee book. Christy Hemenway wrote a very good book called Ò Õ The Thinking BeekeeperÓ which goes into detail on Top Bar Hives and the natural way to raise bees for pollination and possibly some honey.

If you are interested in building a Top Bar Hive or in raising bees, give Mike a call. Mike Blaise is very knowledgeable and as friendly a guy you will ever meet.

You can contact Mike at 546- 7414. Who knows, maybe you can work out a deal to have him build you a Top Bar Hive.

Conservation of wildlife is all of our concern. If you have a woodshop of your own, here are some other ideas for you to pass the time this winter.

Rich Redman is a retired District Conservationist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and an avid outdoorsman. His column will appear regularly. He may be reached at rangeric@nycap.rr.com.
