Battle Budget over double for bicentennial

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The upcoming Battle of Plattsburgh bicentennial celebration is set to blow all previous yearsÕ commemorations out of the water, quite literally.

Seventeen days of activities will culminate in a first of its kind on Lake Champlain: a re-enactment of the naval Battle of Plattsburgh.

Re-enactments of the land battles have long been a staple of the commemorations of arguably the seminal battle of AmericanÕ s second War of Independence, but Commodore MacDonoughÕ s decisive naval battle has never been attempted, until this coming September.

CHAZY Ñ A changing of the guard is in the works at ChazyÕ s venerable Alice T. Miner museum.

Current museum director Amanda Palmer will be stepping down at the end of June, to be replaced by current museum staffer Ellen Adams. The change has been in the works for some time, and will allow both women the opportunities to pursue their individual passions.

Adams moved to Plattsburgh in the spring of 2012 from Saginaw Michigan, where she taught American History at Saginaw State University. Her first dalliance into Clinton County’s museum community came as a volunteer at the Clinton County Historical Association, but she took a position at Miner in April 2013, just in time for a baptism by fire with spring’s Museum Days. Her first day at the Miner was the first day of the busy Museum Days.

Having work previously at New York CityÕ s Whitney Museum of American Art, and holding both a MasterÕ s degree and a PhD in American History, Adams found her home at the Miner museum.

STAPLES, who was remanded, will be sentenced in Albany on September 11, 2014 by United States District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy.

By Teah Dowling

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The EXPLORE (Experience and Professional Learning Opportunities Result in Excellence) Diabetes conference will take place May 22 for health care professionals such as physicians, registered nurses, pharmacists, dieticians and more.

The conference will begin around 7 a.m. with registration, breakfast, vendors and opening remarks, leading into several hour-long presentations on different aspects of diabetes.

To start off the day, Ò Diabetes in the ElderlyÓ by Julie Bynum, associate professor of medicine at The Dartmouth Institute, will be presented.

After BynumÕ s presentation, Jack Leahy, co-director of the division of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at the University of Vermont, will present Ò New Thoughts and Strategies for the Treatment of Type II Diabetes: Update on Medications and Diabetes.Ó

After a brief 30 minute break, Elizabeth Nardacci, certified diabetes educator from Albany Medical Center, will present Ò The Use of Insulin Pump Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes,Ó leading into an hour long lunch break.

In Track 1, Stephen Merena, podiatrist at Fletcher Allen and assistant professor at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, will present Ò Diabetic Foot Management: Preventive Care to Limb Salvage,Ó with Claude Roland, doctor at Champlain Valley Vascular Surgery, presenting Ò Vascular Complications in Diabetes including Neuropathies.Ó In Track 2, Joanne DeNovio, registered nurse at Ellis Health Center, will present Ò Find Support in ME: Move More, Eat Right, Take Care of ME,Ó with Watts presenting Ò An Update on the Nutritional Management of Diabetes.Ó Ò As a group, we felt that thereÕ s been a lot of cases in manage of care in all individuals that have diabetes and diagnosis in diabetes,Ó Watts said. Ò So, itÕ s just updating on the way that we handle nutrition when you have diabetes, how we provide education and what the appropriate guidelines are for individualsÕ diabetes.Ó To end the day, Lori Dandrow and Julie Rock from One Step Ahead Physical Therapy in Plattsburgh will present Ò Diabetes and Physical Activity.Ó The EXPLORE Diabetes Conference is the seventh diabetes conference, with the last conference occurring on May 22, 2012, and the 53rd conference for EXPLORE itself.

EXPLORE was started in 2000 by the Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital Medical Center, SUNY Plattsburgh, Clinton County Health Department, the Gamma Delta Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing and District 8 of the New York State Nurses Association.

Besides the original members, EXPLORE is a collaborative effort of the Adirondack Chapter of Nurse Practitioner Association of NYS, Adirondack Health, Alice Hyde Medical Center, Clinton Community College, Champlain Valley Health Network, CVPH Medical Center, HCR Home Care and Hospice of the North Country.

EXPLORE tries to hold at least three conferences per year based on different health topics such as stress, end of life issues, strokes, colorectal cancer, infectious diseases and much more, with new ideas from the people of EXPLORE coming constantly including smaller gatherings for people who arenÕ t health care professionals.

Bynum will be presenting Ò Decision Making as an older adult with Diabetes in the West Side Ballroom May 21 from 6 to 7 p.m., which is free and open to all who wish to learn more about diabetes.

Saranac chooses Parks as Superintendent SARANAC Ñ The Saranac Central School District has concluded its search for a new Superintendent. At its April 7 meeting, the Saranac Board of Education appointed Mr. Jonathan Parks as the new Superintendent of Schools for the Saranac Central School District. Mr. Parks is currently the Saranac High School Principal.

The appointment is effective July 1, 2014.

According to Saranac Board of Education President Tracy Allen Waite, Ò We were very impressed with the pool of candidates forwarded to us during our recent superintendent search. Jon Parks, as a dedicated, valued member of our district for more than 12 years stood out as the most qualified candidate. He has demonstrated strong leadership skills, a commitment to excellence, and extensive knowledge in the area of curriculum. Mr. Parks knows the district, the students, the parents, and the community.Ó She continued, Ò We were particularly pleased with the superintendent search service provided by CVES District Superintendent Dr. Mark Davey and his excel-

lent staff. The expertise and professionalism of the CVES District Office staff was immensely helpful in guiding us through the search process. The Saranac Board of Education would also like to thank the community and all of the stakeholders involved, for their valuable input in selecting a new educational leader for the District.Ó Jonathan Parks is excited to continue working with the Saranac school community, saying, Ò IÕ ve had such a wonderful experience during the past twelve years and I look forward to the next set of challenges in my new role. The students, the parents, the staff and the members of the Board of Education should be proud of what has been created here and I will work hard to keep the district moving forward and to focus on providing the best educational opportunities for our children.Ó Ò IÕ d like to take this opportunity,Ó said Parks, Ò to thank everyone for all their support and encouragement during the selection process and I thank the Board for

putting their trust in me. I am also greatly indebted to Mr. Ken Cringle for the guidance he has provided over the years. My best wishes to him and his family as he begins the next chapter of his life.Ó Working with CVES, the Board reviewed 17 applicants, both local and from out of the area, and selected five highly qualified candidates to undergo first round interviews. The Board then scheduled second round interviews with three candidates, and engaged the Stakeholder Committee (comprised of teachers, administrators, non-instructional staff, PTO, community members and students) to participate, and also held two public Open Forums to provide the Board with comprehensive feedback from the entire Saranac community.

After an extensive review of each candidateÕ s background, experience, and interviews, including strong consideration of the feedback received through the public consultation process, the Board voted to appoint Mr. Parks.

Essex cattle farm offers job hopefuls Grade-A status Ñ if they survive the chopping block

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ESSEX Ñ ItÕ s spring and Sandy Lewis should be feeling optimistic. On a recent afternoon, the cattle farmer sat on his back porch and admired the view. A wind blew across a rolling field and cooled as it passed through a copse of chestnut trees and eventually took flight over a row of cedars.

Natural air-conditioning, he said. A feat of natural ingenuity.

But despite the factors in his favor Ñ the clay soil that has spared the region from the droughts plaguing similar cattle operations in the west, his farmÕ s natural drainage system, the pending arrival of the Bryce Powershift HD180, a state-of-the-art machine for driving fence posts Ñ heÕ s feeling rattled over one commodity that has slipped through his grasp.

People.

While the Lewis Family Farm offers what they say is the regionÕ s best beef Ñ USDAcertified grass-fed, no bull — the 1,200-acre farm lacks sustainable manpower, a growing concern as first cut looms on the hay-scented horizon.

Lewis said he has placed advertisements across the country for a farm manager, in free papers and in monthly trades like the Stockman Grass Farmer and Graze.

Combined, those reach 17 million people each week.

The requirements were simple.

Six letters of recommendation, three each from personal and professional references, a CV and a personal essay. Ò When considering a candidate from, say, Texas or Florida, we need to know about them,Ó he said. Ò We just want candidates who are conscious, centered and want to work regardless of their background.Ó The response was incredible, said Lewis. But few responded as they asked. Ò We failed to attract a single candidate with a winner’s profile,” he said.

Their flaws?

Applicants were applying for the wrong rea-

“Get a picture of this guy,” said Lewis. “He’s going to be famous someday.” sons. Some appeared to be looking for a warm place to bed down for a spell. High turnover isnÕ t good for business, said Lewis Ñ especially in a field that requires intensive training.

Interns tend to destroy equipment before heading back to school. Drifters tend to, well, drift Ñ as do single men, another cohort that Lewis is disinterested in hiring Ñ as are the obese (Ò the kind that crushes machinesÓ ), tobacco users (smoke disturbs cattlesÕ central nervous system) and drinkers (too many anecdotes to list, some of which are unprintable).

The ideal candidate: The nuclear family that seeks the farming life, those healthy in mind, body and spirit.

“We offer a sense of identification,” said Lewis. Ò The creation of a sense of purpose thatÕ s greater than themselves.Ó He frequently referred to an academic family with whom he will be working this summer, the proverbial grand slam: forward-looking with four kids and a strong work ethic.

Cobble Hill golf league to start up

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The Cobble Hill Ladies Golf League will hold its season start up meeting on May 21, 5 p.m. at the Clubhouse. The Ladies League is for those interested in playing a fun, no pressure round of golf on Wednesday evenings in the summer.

Curtis Lumber to host pet adoption

BALLSTON SPA — Curtis Lumber will host their fifth annual pet adoption day on June 14 in select retail stores located throughout New York and Vermont.

Hundreds of animals from over 80 shelters and rescue groups will be available for adoption including cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and horses. There will also be pet service providers in attendance such as local veterinarians, groom-

Lewis attributes the lack of qualified candidates to a massive societal shift: Ò We have growing obesity and bad food, an environment that is troubled, oceans covered in plastic and a wealth disparity that discourages,Ó he said, his voice rising. Ò We have children raising children, addicts raising addicts. We have growing dishonesty and pollution in farms across the nation.Ó His voice is sharp now and the words are coming at a staccato clip: Ò The millennials were raised by those that rose to fall and ignored their kids. Ô NoÕ means Ô maybeÕ to the permissive.Ó Lewis, the man who stuck it to the Adirondack Park Agency over his farmÕ s right to house workers and emerged clean from the other side, like Andy Dufresne in the Shawshank Redemption, is now angry. Ò Journalists are frightened as newspapers fail and talking heads spin,Ó he said. Ò The change is real and troubling. And itÕ s here to

ers, pet sitters and trainers offering valuable discounts on their services. Other events include dog house and 50/50 raffles, food, live radio broadcasts and more. Last yearÕ s event resulted in over 400 animals finding forever homes.

Open mic rescheduled

SARANAC LAKE Ñ BluSeedÕ s Ò Young ArtistÕ s Open MindedMic Night” has been re-scheduled for May 17 from 7:30 to 10 pm.

All varieties of talent are invited to perform. Up to twelve performers ages 13-19 or 8th -12th grades are invited to share their voice and ideas in a professional acoustic setting.

Performer sign is limited to twelve and begins at 7 pm. If you are interested in hosting an open-mic in fall, call at 518-891-3799 or e-mail admin@bluseedstuios.org.

NSA announces scholarship

LAKE PLACID Ñ National Sports Academy announces the creation of two scholarships available for two male and two female day students for the 2014/2015 school year. Each scholarship is valued at $5,000, and is renewable each year based on the recipientÕ s academic and athletic achievement.

NSA is a co-educational, independent, boarding and day school serving students in grades eight through twelve and postgraduate. Since its founding in 1977, NSA has offered outstanding academic and athletic programs.

Athletes have the opportunity to pursue competitive athletic programs in hockey, ski jumping, alpine skiing, luge, as well as other sports. Athletes also pursue rigorous college preparatory academics in a supportive, values-based environment with a highly qualified faculty.

stay.Ó Lewis grew quiet.

The former securities trader said he prides himself on his intuition and will give anyone a shot, including those who have once drifted down wayward paths. Ò Our best candidate lacks a GED, cannot read well and has a history,Ó he said. Ò HeÕ s smart and is learning.Ó Lewis was referring to a sleepy-eyed 28-year-old with a criminal record for an singular incident of adolescent foolishness.

The future can be bright for those who have what it takes.

While Lewis and his wife, Barbara, said they plan on living forever — Sandy is 75 and his grandparents lived well into their 90s Ñ they prefer to eventually pass the farm into capable hands, something they would much rather see than selling the facility to a developer. Ò This is the launchpad,Ó he said.

Student-athletes must be residents of Lake Placid, Keene, Keene Valley, Saranac Lake, or Tupper Lake and the surrounding communities. For more information, and an application, please contact Hannah Babcock in the Admissions Office at NSA at 518523-3460 or hbabcock@nationalsportsacademy.com. Local families are encouraged to make an appointment to meet the many new members of the NSA faculty and coaching staff.

Huge heroin arrest in Plattsburgh PLATTSBURGH Ñ The New York State Police and the Adirondack Drug Task Force netted a substantial quantity of heroin during a traffic stop in Plattsburgh on May 12.

A vehicle driven by 33 year old Qaiyum Q. Pretty of Schuyler Falls was stopped by State Police on North Catherine Street in the city of Plattsburgh. During the traffic stop a U.S. Border Patrol K-9 unit from the task force alerted on the vehicle. During a subsequent search, Pretty was found to possess 490 bindles of heroin.

Pretty was arrested for Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance third degree, a class B felony.

He was arraigned in the Plattsburgh City Court and was sent to Clinton County Jail on $25,000 cash bail, $50,000 bond.

He appeared subsequently on May 14 for a bail hearing. His attorney cited the fact that PrettyÕ s girlfriend was pregnant and due to deliver eminently, at which time Judge Mark Rogers lowered his bail to $12,500 cash or $25,000 bond. After his bail was lowered, Pretty turned and winked to someone in attendance.

The investigation is ongoing and is being conducted by members of the Adirondack Drug Task Force.

The task force is comprised of the New York State Police, Plattsburgh City Police Department, Drug Enforcement Administration, United States Border Patrol, Homeland Security Investigations, Clinton County Sheriff’s Office and Clinton County District Attorney.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Mountain Lake PBS and Bright Blue EcoMedia have teamed up to look at the effects of climate change in the Adirondacks, and the next generation of visionaries working to make a difference. Now theyÕ re turning to you, and the Internet, to help fund the project.

In August 2011 Hurricane Irene ripped through the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York, destroying lives and village infrastructure and upsetting the delicate ecological systems in this pristine wilderness area.

Once seemingly immune to the effects of climate change, Irene exposed how even mountainous inland areas can be just as vulnerable to extreme weather events.

In the aftermath of the storm, three high school students take us on a journey through the region to meet local leaders and innovators as they search for both short-term adaptive strategies to extreme weather and long-term solutions to reducing carbon emissions. Cody Bary, Erin Weaver, and Gina Fioreli gather experience and information as they prepare for and host the 2013 Youth Climate Summit, where 400 students meet, collaborate and draft action plans.

The film demonstrates how this region serves

North Countryman Editorial

Minimum wage: Where they stand

A

fter decades of dormancy, the labor movement seems to be finally stirring. And yet sadly this political awakening seems not to have yet reached the workers of the North Country.

Just in the past year, the Washington city of SeaTac raised it’s minimum wage to $15 an hour, and other locales are considering similar measures. Socialist Alternative candidate Kshama Sawant, running as an open opponent of capitalism, won a city-wide election to join the Seattle City Council. Fast food strikes planned across the country and the world for May 15, by which time we will have gone to press, are expected to be the largest in history.

But where is this newfound class-consciousness in upstate New York? It’s not as if we’re lacking the requisite ingredients. We can see cavernous wealth disparity all around us. Nearby Franklin is the second poorest county in New York state. In Lake Placid, a supposed winter wonderland, the Cascade Acres trailer park is situated just a few minutes drive from the lavish Mirror Lake Inn. In what is perhaps an indication to which the exploitation of workers is not on our political leaders’ radar, few of the local politicians who we discussed the issue with spoke with confidence regarding the level of government at which the minimum wage for public and private workers could be raised.

Lewis supervisor David Blades said he didnÕ t believe he had the power to raise the minimum wage at the town level, but even if he did, he likely wouldnÕ t support it. ÒI probably would not support a raise, but then again I might.Ó Essex County Attorney Daniel Manning said he didnÕ t believe the minimum wage could be adjusted at the town or county level, but he wasnÕ t sure. ÒI have no idea,Ó M anning said. ÒI tÕ s not anything thatÕ s ever occurred to me.Ó Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland said he didnÕ t know offhand at what level of government the minimum wage could be raised, but either way he would not support a pay hike for working families. ÒI think it kills economic development for small business,Ó G illilland said.

North Elba Supervisor Robi Politi, who owns a real estate company, saw raising workersÕ pay as a non-issue. “I don’t think about the minimum wage,” Politi said. “I have bigger fish to fry.”

Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew said he didnÕ t think the minimum wage could be adjusted at the town or county level. But he would support tying it to cost of living adjustments.

Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said he thought the minimum wage could only be raised on the federal or state level. Ò( Otherwise) that would require home-rule legislation,Ó he said. ÒI f thatÕ s even possible.Ó Still Scozzafava said he supported raising the minimum wage, though he didnÕ t have an exact figure in mind. “I think the overall impact on the economy would be positive and it would reduce our dependency on social programs,Ó he said, adding there were large numbers of the working poor in the Adirondacks. ÒI f you work, in my opinion, you have the right to support yourself and a family.Ó Scozzafava continued, highlighting the pay gap between corporate executives and rank-andfile workers. ÒT hey pay their top people the equivalent of a thousand of their employees or more a year,Ó he said, before interjecting he was Òn ot against capitalism.Ó Those workers who make well above the minimum wage might believe the struggles of their more-exploited brethren do not effect their economic position. But such a view is shortsighted.

Boosting the income of the lowest-paid workers will raise the salaries of higher-paid workers as expectations for fair compensation rise. On the other hand, reducing the pay of the lowest-paid workers will pull down the salaries of higher-paid workers as expectations for fair compensation drop.

North Country laborers should vote their class interests. We should assess local candidates positions’ based on whether they benefit the working class and to what degree. Do our politicians support raising the minimum wage for working families? And if so, how large of a raise do they support? Are our politicians in favor of shifting the tax burden for necessary government services toward the rich? And if so, to what extent? In deciding for whom to vote, North Country workers should consider questions like these. Ñ Denton Editorial Board

The Burgh - 7

Style & Substance: On children growing up and moving away Dear style & substance, I have a friend who sells a line of beauty products through parties, networking and social media. She is completely absorbed in talking about it or planning events. She expects my support, yet doesnÕ t support me in what I do and in my interests. IÕ ve tried her products and donÕ t think they make any difference in my life. I am very frustrated with this aspect of our relationship, but somehow feel guilty about saying something. What to do?

S

o many people are now involved in these product lines or in similar types of businesses that depend upon the party model of selling a product. In this case, your friend does not seem to realize that you are really not interested and that you are finding her over-bearing. She is so excited about her own life and the direction it is taking that she has failed to read your subtle cues and possibly many other peopleÕ s as well. The last part of your question was very telling, you expressed guilt about your feelings Ð ask yourself why. Is there a part of you that feels, or thinks, you are not being a supportive friend? Addressing the immediate issue with a different style of communication, as cringe worthy as it is, will be your best bet!

Try some of these scenarios: Give her positive strokes for her endeavors,

but tell her how YOU feel. Ò I know these products really work for you, but I didnÕ t get the results I was expecting for the money I invested. I am glad you are loving it, but I am sure you have found that it just doesnÕ t work the same for everyone.Ó Nancy Reagan may have had it correct; Just Say No, or more appropriately, No thank you to her events or new trial products. Be kind but firm, no need for an elaborate excuse. This may cause a significant pause, but the message you have been trying to express will be heard.

Ask your friend to participate in other planned activities. This can strengthen your relationship or place it in a different light. If she continues to refuse, as time will not allow, she may see that it is not a mutually supportive friendship. This is a risk you must carefully consider as you navigate this friendship.

In your reflection of this friendship do not

forget to think about yourself and where you are going with your life. The excitement she is feeling can be something that you are longing for Ð some of what you are feeling could be a wee bit of jealousy. Your friend is making money and excited about life. Remember, there are great ways to stimulate your own growth and development without selling products and marketing new ideas.

These self-growth actions introduce us to new people, new ways of looking at the world, and a different mindset. It could make you more confident and politely bold in communication, as well!

Go to one new thing a month either with someone (perhaps the friend that inspired your letter), or better yet, by YOURSELF. Check out the library, a yoga class, an art exhibit, or a coffee shop.

Say YES to an invitation even if it is not ex-

actly your type of activity.

READ and RESEARCH ideas and find something that intrigues and engages your mind. If you wonder about it, look it up! Taking your mind to new places is stimulating and gets creativity and willingness aligned with action. The World Wide Web offers more than Facebook and People.com, really.

Quit saying, Ò I should do thatÓ or Ò I would like to try that someday.Ó If you are saying it, then DO IT, or point in that direction and start getting your feet wet!

Money may grow on trees I

f you are sitting at your maple kitchen table, or rocking in that old oak rocking chair your grandma gave you, there is one thing they have in common. They are both made of wood and they came from trees that were harvested.

Logging and forest management practices are as old as civilization.

In the beginning it may have been a sharp stone that was beaten against a tree. That lead to an axe, which is just a sharp stone with a handle, then the steel age came and a metal head was forged.

Along with an axe, a saw was used and the two became logging tools. The chainsaw came about and made the axe and hand saw obsolete.

Horses or oxen were used to haul the logs out of the woods. Wagons and sleds, then trains and trucks hauled the timber. In the end, the logs were delivered to sawmills, paper mills, furniture factories, and any other venture that utilized wood products.

Things have changed. Chainsaws are still used, but slowly they have moved over to allow the really big boy toys to take over.

This past weekend I took advantage of the nice weather and went to the Northeast Forest Products Expo in Vermont. Huge equipment with names like Tigercat feller bunchers, Timberwolf firewood processors, Barko log loaders, Timberjack skidders, Timbco forwarders, and Bandit chippers where on hand to see, climb aboard and some were even being demonstrated. Powered by diesel engines like Cummins and Caterpillar, these forest and timber harvesting machines were awesome. Watching a 16 foot log 20 inches in diameter being chipped up in under a minute is something to see.

Smaller forest owners needing equipment got to choose from names like HUD-SON, Farmi, Stihl, Husqvarna, Fransgard and Igland. Portable sawmills that go to the woods were on hand and both beams and boards were being cut as demonstrations of the machines ability and ease of use.

Forest management for bio-fuels such as chips and pellets, saw logs, and firewood products all have some specialty machines.

Whether you own a small woodlot like my own, where I was looking for a three point hitch winch to allow me to manage and harvest my own logs for boards, fence posts and firewood, or you own a thousand acres of timber where you utilize production equipment, it was all there to see, hear and touch.

Band saw mills cut out boards. Chippers chipped chips. Shavers shaved shavings and

chainsaws and rotary blades sawed out firewood. It was two days of pine scented pleasure and lumber leisure.

Soren EriksonÕ s Game of Logging held a training session on chainsaw safety and felling tactics. I got to see the fellow who trained me back when: Game of Logging saw master, Bill Lindloff of ProCuts Co. Along with all the equipment, there were two Discovery ChanBy Rich Redman nel logging documentary loggers on hand who are renowned. Bobby Goodson of the Swamp Loggers show and Jeff Pelletier of American Loggers fame were on hand to meet some of the young blossoming loggers, woodsmen and women and future foresters. I got to meet both of the guys and they are the real deal.

For Christmas I bought my grandsons the logging DVDÕ s so they would know what forestry and logging was all about and not have some misconception about cutting down a tree. Bobby Goodson and the Pelletier Family are big names in our house and the boys have learned a respect for logging. I would rather have them watch a DVD about logging, than sitting doing some stupid video games killing people.

Soon my young trainees will be in the woods with me learning about trees, forestry and timber management, while we make deer and grouse habitat.

Homes, barns, towns and cities were built from forest products. The land gets farmed for food, and the forest gets farmed for wood products. So while you sit back in that rocker of oak, have coffee at the maple kitchen table, read a book or paper or think about that note you wrote to your mother for MotherÕ s Day with a Ticonderoga pencil, remember they are all made from forest products.

Many of our neighbors make a living logging and working the land. Forestry is the wise use of a renewable and sustainable product. In my opinion we should be using more wood and less oil and plastic.

Money may grow on trees if you manage your woodlot; plastic doesnÕ t, but wood does!

This year they will fly over 140 WWII veterans to Washington, at no cost to the veteran.

In 2013, the inaugural year for North Country Honor Flight, 80 veterans made the trip to Washington. Along with flying veterans to Washington, Honor Flight takes part in educational events at high schools and colleges throughout the region, reminding a new generation of students of the sacrifices made by these heroes seventy years ago. They also hold events throughout the year honoring and thanking the veterans for their service.

act with the people and talk about the objects. The people who come here tend to have a pretty high level of knowledge and interest already.Ó For her part, Palmer will be leaving the Miner after eight years to devote herself more fully to the art career she has pursued her entire life. Successful in multiple mediums, Palmer is well known locally for her Ò Follow Your BlissÓ line of note cards, as well as for her paintings and drawings. But she wonÕ t be stepping away from the history world entirely. She has been contracted to research and archive historical records of a local institution, and will be re-

storing and archiving personal photographs and records for people as well. Ò ItÕ s wonderful to get a look at peopleÕ s old photographs and bring them back to a state where more people can access them,Ó she said of her newest endeavor.

PalmerÕ s tenure at the Miner has been marked by widespread renovations of the building itself, as well as improvements on how the collections are shown in those renovated spaces. Being only the eighth director in the 90 year history of the museum, Palmer is quick to credit the volunteers as well as the board of directors for her success.

Ò I really have to thank the docents and volunteers who have stayed with the museum over the years. So many things that we do here we couldnÕ t do without their steady help,Ó she said, adding, Ò but we could always use more.Ó Palmer also helped establish a digital footprint for the museum, and many of the museumÕ s letters are now able to be viewed online now, as well as at the museum.

PalmerÕ s artwork can be seen at www.wanderartists. zenfolio.com, and www.followyourblisscards.com, and her archiving business can be found at www.oasisdesignsgraphics.com.

Continued from page 1 Ò ItÕ s doing something that I would like to be doing anyway, itÕ s been great working hereÓ she said. Ò ItÕ s kind of exactly my area of focus.Ó Adams is inheriting a museum which she sees needing little in the way of drastic changes. Her immediate plans are to continue the trajectory that Palmer has left the museum on, while possibly adding more in the way of educational lectures on Alice T.

Battle of Plattsburgh Continued from page 1

Ò If we can pull this off, itÕ ll be a heck of a bicentennial,Ó said re-enactor Craig Russell.

Re-enactors will also trace the land march of British soldiers from the border in Champlain into Plattsburgh, and re-enact encounters from Ò The First Bloody Battle,” September 6 in Beekmantown, through the culminating land and sea battles September 11.

As a starting point of their commemoration, Battle of Plattsburgh co-chair Kit Booth said at a recent press conference that they are trying to do at least as much as was done at the centennial celebration of the battle in 1914. Throughout those seventeen days, there will be an activity to appeal to just about everyone; young or old, avid historian or novice, music lover, theater aficionado or quilter.

Dr. Richard Frost has written a musical play about the battle, which will be performed several times over the course of the commemoration. Director Bonnie Black says, though, that she is having difficulty casting all of the 19 male roles, since so far only one man has come to the first three auditions she has held. Ò I can only take so many liberties with

casting. I canÕ t cast a female Commodore MacDonough,Ó she said.

Black will be holding another open audition May 21 at 6 p.m. at the Myers Fine Arts building at SUNY Plattsburgh.

She explores any men with an interest in the theater to come out and audition. Ò ItÕ s quite exciting. We have a play by a living play-write, and we have to work within the confines of the twenty-first century,Ó she said.

The rotunda of City Hall will be decked out in its finest, as local skilled and novice quilters alike are being urged to design a quilt and a story to go along with it for a Ò Cot to CoffinÓ quilt exhibit. Quilts of the same dimensions carried by nineteenth century soldiers will be on display Sept 12 Ð 14. Interested quilters should contact the Champlain Valley Quilter Õ s Guild of New YorkÕ s, or Jean Welch at 493-2805.

John Rock, of the American Legion post 1619 in West Plattsburgh, says a commemoration will also take place on Crab Island, the final resting place of 50 Americans killed in the battle of Plattsburgh. It is also the resting place of British sailors killed in that battle, one of the few places in the world, he says, where American service men are buried alongside their foes.

As part of the commemoration, a spe-

cially made 15 star and 15 stripe flag will fly over the cemetery, and flags will be presented to the living descendants of Commodore MacDonough as well as the descendants of a British officer killed north of Plattsburgh in the land campaign.

The Battle of Plattsburgh has also grown into a multi-day music festival over the years, and 12 feature concerts will take place over the course of the celebration.

With the increase in scope of this year Õ s commemoration, the budget for the event has more than doubled, to $170,000, according to Kit Booth. Part of that cost will hopefully be borne by sale of the commemorative buttons, which will grant access to nearly all of the musical other events. The cost of the buttons was raised this year to $15, from $10 previously. Booth is also actively pursuing sponsorship opportunities for local businesses, and is hopeful that the business community will come out en mass to support the commemoration.

The entire eight page calendar of events, as it currently stands, can be found on the Battle of Plattsburgh Bicentennial CommemorationÕ s website, www.champlain1812.com. A full list of events will be published in The North Countryman as the event nears.

NY21 Green Party candidate launches campaign as GOP fight turns rancorous

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS Ñ Matt Funiciello, the Green PartyÕ s candidate for Congress, formally announced his candidacy to replace retiring Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) at the Rock Hill Bakehouse, the bakery he owns and manages in Glens Falls, on Wednesday, May 7.

Nearly 100 voters came to hear the candidate speak. Ò The kickoff showed just how fed up people in the district are with the false divide in politics,Ó said Funiciello in a written statement. Ò They are tired of sending representatives to Washington who are funded by, and represent, big corporate interests.Ó The major political parties, said Funiciello, only exist to represent the elite. Ò I donÕ t understand why anyone would vote for either of them if they self-identify with workers,Ó he later told the Valley News in a phone interview. Ò What good has having a Democratic or Republican representative done for you in your lifetime? That’s not a conservative or liberal issue Ñ thatÕ s just common sense and I want to bring that Adirondack viewpoint to the House.Ó At the event, Funiciello reiterated his platform, which includes single-payer health care, building local jobs at living wages, cutting defense spending and making sure corporations, Ò pay their fair share.Ó Funiciello said these are all Ò majoritarian issuesÓ supported by the American public and that he was disappointed that the Green Party would not see a primary following Don HassigÕ s removal from the ballot last month. Ò WeÕ re all a little disappointed because this would have been a great platform to discuss the issues,Ó he said.

In response to those who may curdle at the very mention of the Green Party and the public pillorying of Ralph Nader following his 2000 presidential campaign that some believe siphoned away votes away from progressives and handed the election to George W. Bush, Funiciello called it a non-issue. Ò ItÕ s propaganda,Ó he said. Ò Al Gore lost because he was a terrible candidate. Nader lost because he didnÕ t take any corporate money.

I would ask the Democrats to clean up their house before attacking Nader.Ó Funiciello had previously told the Valley News he didnÕ t walk in lockstep with the Green Party on every issue Ñ and in fact, also shared a sliver of the ideological spectrum with libertarians who

lobbied against police brutality and excessive government regulation Ñ and was aligning with them, in part, to combat what he sees as a creeping corporate influence in politics and was optimistic that ample common ground could be covered. Ò WeÕ re going to work hard and muddy our hands as citizens to affect change,Ó he said. Ò But it can be done with love and care for our district and the country.Ó FIVE WEEKS UNTIL REPUBLICAN PRIMARY FunicielloÕ s launch came during a week that saw the internecine fight between the GOP grow increasingly bitter in the run-up to the primary election on June 24.

Matt Doheny, an investment fund manager from Watertown, flogged fellow Republican hopeful Elise Stefanik for her failure to sign a pair of pledges.

One was the Taxpayer Protection Pledge from Americans for Tax Reform, an anti-tax group helmed by Grover Norquist, a kingmaker in Republican politics whose star has faded in recent years.

Doheny also blasted Stefanik, the Willsboro-based candidate, for her refusal to sign a pledge by an outside group to repeal the SAFE Act, the controversial law that was passed by the state legislature, and signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo, in the aftermath of the Newtown incident. Ò Unfortunately, North Country voters have seen this movie before Ñ ambitious Washington insider who claims to be a lifelong gun owner, flip-flops when outside political groups bring pressure,” said Doheny in a written statement. Ò Words are not enough, law abiding gun owners have been betrayed before.Ó Despite the Doheny campaignÕ s strong push on social media and via written statements denouncing Stefanik for her refusal to sign the pledge, the campaign did not publicly draw attention to the fact that the implementation of the SAFE Act is a state issue Ñ not a federal one Ñ and criticizing Stefanik for her refusal to sign the pledge may come across as disingenuous to voters in the gun-heavy district. Ò Where was Doheny on the SAFE Act when it mattered,Ó combated the Stefanik campaign in a written statement that cited the forums she attended to facilitate discuss on the issue that Doheny did not attend.

And on taxes: Ò As IÕ ve made very clear to the voters of this district over the course of the campaign, I have pledged that I will not vote to raise taxes,Ó said Stefanik in a written statement, citing her background in small business.

Ò I will only make one pledge during the course of my campaign and that pledge is to you, the people of this district,Ó Stefanik continued. Ò Unlike other candidates in this race, I will not sign a pledge from any Washington DC based special interest group. Our district deserves an independent representative who will challenge the failed status quo of Washington, not make pledges to it.Ó Ò Matt Doheny is getting increasingly desparate and angry in his craven bid to win office,” said campaign spokeswoman Charlotte Guyett. Ò He is stridently attacking a strong, young intelligent woman who has run a positive campaign.Ó On Tuesday, May 13, Stefanik announced a series of endorsements from the Essex County Board of Supervisors.

All 13 of the Republican lawmakers Ñ including one independent Ñ endorsed her candidacy, making it a clean sweep along party lines.

Four other supervisors Ñ Board Chairman Randall Douglas, Gerald Morrow, Stephen McNally and Daniel Connell Ñ have not publicly endorsed a candidate in the race. Ò IÕ m incredibly humbled in their support of my candidacy,Ó said Stefanik.

In 2012, the Republican supervisors threw their weight behind Doheny.

WeÕ ll have more on this development in our online edition.

DEMS As for the Democrats, Macomb town board member Steven Burke lost his appeal to the state supreme court in Albany on Thursday, May 8, leaving Elizabethtown resident Aaron Woolf cruising unopposed as he prepares for NovemberÕ s general election. ÒI am troubled that Matt Doheny and Elise Stefanik are focused on publicity gimmicks to address our economy instead of addressing whether or not they plan to join the vast majority of the Republicans in Congress in supporting the Ryan budget,Ó said Woolf in an email to the Valley News, referring to the non-binding plan issued by the House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan that seeks to balance the federal budget with deep cuts in social programs, including health care for the poor and student loans. ÒPau l RyanÕ s plan would end the Medicare guarantee, raise taxes on middle class families, slash education and threaten our region’s economic future. We need to work together to find responsible solutions that grow our middle class and create more jobs.Ó

Children’s Development Group opens new site in Keeseville

By Kyle Page

denpubs@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE Ñ ChildrenÕ s Development Group has opened a new location in downtown Keeseville. The Group has offered a full range of services since 2009 in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, Warren and Washington counties.

The Group celebrated with a two day grand opening Friday May 9 and Saturday May 10 at the 1717 Front Street location. Ò We hope to get a lot of people interested in our program,Ó said Executive Director Margi Carter as numerous parents and children toured the new facility in the former Kingsland Square Bistro site.

ChildrenÕ s Development Group has a lot of services to offer the region including Early Intervention, Child Care, Preschool and Tutoring Services. Ò Our mission is to shape a creative and funfilled learning experience, where tolerance and acceptance are valued,Ó explained Carter. Ò We get back into the family.Ó The new location offers room for many family oriented activities. Carter explained how the focus is on traditional play and learning. Ò ItÕ s what we did when I was a kid,Ó Carter said.

In a refreshing change from most modern facilities activities with the children do not include technology. Children are asked to turn off their cell phones and other electronic devices and are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity.

Executive Director Margi Carter, Office Coordinator Alexa Hachigian, Autumn Hamborsky, Ava Hamborsky, Cain Banker and Director of Operations Danielle Godin play at the new CDG site.

Photos by Kyle Page This is not to suggest the Group is backwards in any way as they have successfully built up their operation since its beginnings in 2009.

The Group now has more than 40 fully licensed and trained staff members in several locations including Au Sable Forks, Elizabethtown and Ticonderoga.

To highlight the newest location along with Carter, Director of Operations Danielle Godin, Office Coordinator Alexa Hachigian, and Natalie Sullivan from CornellÕ s Cooperative Extension in Essex were on hand this past weekend showcasing many of the activities and capabilities of the Group.

As Carter explains, Ò We have been here since the beginning of March but didnÕ t have every-

thing in place until now.Ó As the location was originally built for a bistro Carter decided it was worth the effort to get the licenses necessary to continue the use of the kitchen facilities. This gives the group the ability to include hands on nutritional activities as well as cooking as part of the program involving the entire family. For the opening day Sullivan was on hand to show participants how to make nutritious smoothies.

“We firmly believe parents are the child’s first teacher,Ó Carter added.

The Group has an agreement with the New York State Department of Health to provide Early Intervention services including Special Instruction, Speech Therapy, Occupational

Therapy, Physical Therapy, and multidisciplinary evaluations at no cost to the parents.

They are able to help parents with questions and concerns regarding the intellectual development of the children and can able to assist with the referral process.

At the Keeseville location, parents can find services for their children from preschool to high school many of which can be tailored to the time needs of the families. Tutoring is provided by certified professionals and can be done in groups or one-on-one.

Already the Group has put in motion many additions to their program including opening a Kids College in Au Sable Forks in September, a Preschool program in Keeseville also in September, a three hour summer enrichment program starting in July in Keeseville, a Saturday dropin care in Keeseville as well as taking advantage of the area around the Keeseville location.

Carter pointed out the back window down to an open grass area between the building and the Ausable River: Ò I saw this and envisioned a natural scape including a sidewalk around the area for a bike path and different natural play areas.Ó Carter is building up a group of volunteers and donations of materials to construct this vision for the benefit of the Group’s clients.

Keeseville has a very bright future with the recent addition of the ChildrenÕ s Development Group. Interested parents are encouraged to stop in and visit the facility at 1717 Front Street in Keeseville or visit them at their excellent website childrensdevgroup.com, or facebook at childrensdevgroup or by phone 834-7071.

Palace Theater in Lake Placid enters the digital movement

By Jon Hochschartner jon@denpubs.com

LAKE PLACID Ñ After months of intense fundraising efforts, The Palace Theater in Lake Placid has put an end to the threat of Ò going darkÓ and installed digital projectors for each of the theaterÕ s four screens. Nearly 1,000 individual contributions helped ensure that the lights in the Palace will remain on for years to come.

Barbara Clark, who owns the Palace Theater with her husband Reggie, said she was relieved the conversion had taken place. Ò People come in and theyÕ re really happy, and we are too,Ó Clark said. But nevertheless, her feelings were ambiguous. Ò ItÕ s a mixed bag of feelings,Ó she said. Ò Because weÕ re losing our old system.Ó Clark said that while she and her husband knew how to personally operate the previous machinery, they were at a loss with the new technology. Ò Now we donÕ t know anything,Ó Clark said. Ò ItÕ s a different generation.Ó Clark said the Palace Theater was keeping one 35mm projector in operation, primarily at this point due to nostalgia. She was

unsure if the projector would be used to regularly show classic films.

Support from Adirondack Bank, Community Bank, and Kinney Drugs, as well as backing from elected officials helped launch the campaign last spring. About $150,000 has been raised through the Adirondack North Country Association.

The Lake Placid business community stepped up the fundraising effort with the Mirror Lake Inn and High Peaks Resort taking the lead to ensure the future of the villageÕ s vibrant Main Street. The Push for the Palace Committee, comprised of several concerned locals, contributed greatly to the campaignÕ s progress with ample support from High Peaks Resort.

In the past year, locals have supported and attended dozens of Go Digital fundraisers including: the Red Carpet Premier, The Ò GhostbustersÓ screening at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, Trivia Night at Will Rogers, Zumba by Jessica Nugent, Songs at Mirror Lake concert series, the Smoke Signals benefit show, and countless others.

Foundation gifts totaled more than $26,000 with significant donations from the Henry Uihlein, Jana, Lockwood, Jack M. Davis, Landon Family, and Susan & Woodrow Gandy Charitable foundations. Tremendous support also came from the Burrows

Family, who contributed $20,000, and Jack Bogle, who contributed $25,000.

Other area theaters have not quite raised sufficient funds to complete the conversion to digital. The Strand in Schroon Lake has $22,500 remaining. The Hollywood in Au Sable Forks has $20,500 remaining and The Strand in Plattsburgh has $25,000 remaining.

Rio 2 was the last film shown at the Lake Placid Palace Theater.
