Fire investigators from New York State and Clinton County comb the charred remains of an AuSable home where two children, ages 4 and 7, lost their lives Monday night, June 30.

AuSABLE Ñ Two young children are dead and a third is clinging to life in a Boston hospital following a structure fire at 918 Clintonville Road in the Town of AuSable Monday evening.

New York State Police report that Tucker J. Burnham, age 7, and Payden A. Burnham, age 4, were killed at approximately 9:30 p.m. on June 30 when their home was engulfed in flames.

Tucker and Payden, along with their six-month-old sister Raelynn S. Burnham, were being cared for by their aunt, Penny M. Stone, age 23, when fire broke out in a bedroom of the trailerhome. Stone attempted to extinguish the flames but was unsuccessful. Stone was able to flee the residence along with her two children, ages 2 and 4, who were also being cared for by Stone at the time. She then sought assistance at a relativeÕ s house nearby.

The relative, who has not been named by State Police, was able to enter the burning residence and rescue Raelynn. Attempts to rescue the other two children were unsuccessful due to the smoke and intense heat.

nior Michael Lawson, were pulled below the surface by a stronger than normal current, according to later police reports. They did not re-surface.

MaknaniÕ s body was recovered later that day. LawsonÕ s was not located until Sunday, June 29.

Remembrance

An empty black folding chair, adorned with a bouquet of black and orange flowers, marked the place where 17-year-old Maknani would have sat during the ceremony. Students wore orange arm bands on their left arms with MaknaniÕ s initials. Some adorned their mortar boards with those same initials in remembrance of their friend.

Maknani’s name was one of 132 in the program under “Candidates for Graduation.Ó

Statement

Ò I donÕ t have the right words. I donÕ t have the right message for you,Ó said Short after a moment of silence. Ò I do have an observation though. ItÕ s an observation that has played itself out many times...ItÕ s an observation on just how strong, you as classmates; incredible, to support one another. Faculty, the school community; incredible how they have come together. Think about that. Your family and your friends are here. That is the core of something you will carry with you because while you are off in all these great places...there will always be a little bit of Plattsburgh in you.

“Congratulations class of 2014.”

Taoufik Maknani was planning on attending SUNY Plattsburgh in the fall.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ This past weekend, Plattsburgh High School held commencement ceremonies for the class of 2014 in the wake of the tragic loss of two young Plattsburgh High students. One of those students, Taoufik Maknani, was scheduled to graduate at that ceremony.

School officials struggled to walk a line between an appropriately somber remembrance of two lives taken too soon and a celebration of one of the milestone events in a young personÕ s life.

On Thursday, June 26 Maknani and a small group of friends from Plattsburgh High were swimming in the Ausable River in Wilmington at a spot commonly referred to as The Flume. At approximately 2:10 p.m., 911 calls began to flood Essex County Emergency Services saying there was a problem at The Flume.

Two members of the group, Maknani and Plattsburgh High ju-

Groups of students could be seen crying, some offering hugs, before the ceremony started at the Plattsburgh State field house.

Family members and friends of the graduates could be heard discussing the death of the students in hushed tones in the bleachers. A sign showed support for LawsonÕ s family, with another remembering Maknani.

As the graduation ceremony began, the mood palpably lightened, but somber overtones were never far away. The most poignant moment came during a slide show of pictures of students of the class of 2014. Several pictures were of Maknani. Ò The members of the senior class have decided to dedicate that slide show to Taoufik Maknani, a classmate who passed away Thursday afternoon. We would also like to take a pause in todayÕ s ceremony to recognize that terrible loss, as well as that of one of our juniors, Michael Lawson,Ó said Plattsburgh High Superintendant James Short.

During the slide show, the entire faculty of Plattsburgh High left their seats and stood in a half circle surrounding their pupils.

It was a show, Hurlock said, of the support the faculty has for their students in their time of need.

Saranac teenager honored for saving life

By Jon Hochschartner jon@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — At the 2014 American Red Cross North Country Chapter Annual Meeting and Volunteer Recognition Event at the Naked Turtle in Plattsburgh June 24, 16-year-old Riley Baughn of Saranac was honored for saving the life of a fellow student who was choking. The North Country Chapter recognized him as a 2014 Lifesaving Hero. Ò I felt really good,Ó Baughn said. Ò I was really honored winning it. I felt really good about what I had done. I felt like I had saved someoneÕ s life Ñ which I did.Ó Lynn Gilbert, executive director of the chapter, said BaughnÕ s award was well-deserved. Ò We were really proud to give that award last night to Riley,Ó Gilbert said. Ò ItÕ s really uncommon for a 16 year old to step up in a situation like that.Ó Baughn was eating lunch at Saranac High School last December when he realized that a fellow student appeared to be choking in the cafeteria. After confirming that the student was unable to breathe by asking him if he could,

Baughn performed the Heimlich maneuver to force a piece of apple out of the studentÕ s airway, effectively saving his life.

Baughn said he then helped the victim to a seat. Ò He was breathing,Ó Baughn said. Ò The nurse came down and checked him out. He was OK.Ó Baughn said he had not received training in the life-saving tactic before but had learned how to do it from a fellow student who was enrolled in an allied-health program at CV-TEC. Ò I just did it Ñ spur of the moment Ñ out of instinct,Ó Baughn said. Ò I had to do something.Ó Gilbert explained the requirements for the award Baughn received, which is having some sort of heroic action that saves a life using Red Cross training or skills. Ò We were really fortunate to have someone in the North Country who was eligible to be nominated for this award,Ó Gilbert said.

Heidi Dresser, BaughnÕ s mother, said she was very pleased with her son. Ò I feel very proud of him,Ó Dresser said. Ò HeÕ s a really good kid. He stepped up and did something that a lot of people, including myself, wouldnÕ t have been able to do.Ó

Riley Baughn, 16, stands with Saranac High School Principal Jonathan Parks and Lynn Gilbert, executive director of the Red Cross North Country Chapter. Baughn was recognized for performing the Heimlich maneuver on a fellow student.

North needs to look east

T

he heat is rising and we all know what that means for the North Country Ñ tourists, seasonal residents and outdoor enthusiasts.

Lots of them.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo knows this. He has a soft spot for the North Country and intrinsically understands the magnetic draw of these ancient and mysterious hills.

Over the weekend, he traveled to Watkins Glen to officially kick off the season.

The tourism figures he boasted are impressive: The biz generated direct spending of $59.2 billion in 2013 and produced an estimated $7.5 billion in state and local taxes.

The number of visitors to New York is estimated to have increased by 8.8 million and we are projected to finish at 218.8 million visitors by the end of 2013 (the final numbers aren’t in yet). As the fourth largest employment sector in the state, the industry generated more than $17.96 billion in wages.

Not bad. WeÕ d like to augment them with some of our own.

Fact: Mainland Chinese travelers spent $102 billion on international tourism in 2012, 40 percent more than they spent in 2011.

Neat: By 2016, the number of Mainland Chinese tourists visiting the United States is estimated to grow by 232 percent, said the US Department of Commerce.

Wow: China was the sixth-largest spending nationality in the US in 2012, spending $9.2 billion — compared to $7.7 billion in 2011 — making it the fastest growing market for American tourism in 2012.

Impressive: Tourists from the self-described Middle Kingdom outspent leading spenders Germany in 2012, dropping a total of $102 billion on overseas trips (compared to $84 billion by the Germans).

Loaded: Chinese tourists spend about $6,000 per trip to the US, more than visitors from any other country. Because their expenditures are technically exports, the US ran a $4.4 billion surplus in travel and tourism with China in 2011, up from a $687 million deficit in 2006.

Whoa: In 2013, China’s State Council — that’s the equivalent of our presidential cabinet Ñ announced a plan to blast outbound tourism even further into the stratosphere. The seven-year plan is a roadmap for restructuring the current paid leave system across Mainland China with an aim to encourage governmental agencies, social organizations, enterprises and public institutions to promote the use of mandated leave days, a development that has the potential to

blow the top off of the international tourism market.

We could go on and on. But the numbers illustrate that the Mainland Chinese are coming, theyÕ re eager, excited, enthusiastic and want to drop their cash.

Now that New York has realized the value of the North Country, itÕ s time to look east and think big — like 1.355 billion big.

American cities like Seattle, Honolulu, New York and Los Angeles understand this and have started opening offices in major Mainland Chinese megalopolisÕ like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

We think Lake Placid should be the next in line, serving as the nerve center for a constellation of North Country cities and destinations.

And why not?

Olympic connection. China hosted the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a point of profound national pride that has yet to subside. Beijing and Lake PlacidÕ s narratives blend together like, er, ying and yang Ñ cities that emerged from backwater status to pull off some of the most mesmerizing athletic events in human history Ñ and weÕ d like to think a eternal spirit of cooperation can be eventually be forged.

Outdoor activities. It might be easy to overlook, but our brutal terrain is our top asset, especially during the winter. Adventuring and endurance sports have become popular activities for Mainland ChinaÕ s young explorers, those in their twenties and thirties who travel independently, and the natural beauty of the Adirondack Park seems like a no-brainer considering much of the worldÕ s most densely populated country is choking under a veil of unrelenting pollution and profound environmental degradation.

Peace of mind. Chinese culture, which stretches back over 4,000 years, has always placed a premium on holistic medical practices that seek to balance and neutralize discord within the body, a balance that is becoming increasingly desired as the slowburning tensions within the country escalate. The North CountryÕ s growing network of acupuncture, spa treatments, organic farming and community supported agriculture is like catnip to the increasingly health conscious Chinese and shouldnÕ t be overlooked.

During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the official slogan was ubiquitous: Beijing huangying ni. That means Ò Beijing welcomes you.Ó We suggest state officials add the following phrase to their talking points: Beifeng guojia huangying. Ò The North Country welcomes you.Ó Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Style & Substance: On not letting people take advantage Dear style & substance: I recently attended the funeral of a wonderful older friend, and in later thinking about it, I realized that my life is not amounting to much of a Ò eulogy.Ó If today were my last day on Earth, what would be said about my life?

We applaud you for asking this difficult question! Looking inward and Ò reformattingÓ is a wonderful approach to living a worthwhile life! We find it is never too late to live the life you want and believe is purposeful. Another way to think of it is that you are dedicated to leaving a legacy.

What you have observed when assessing your life is a simple truth Ð how we see ourselves or how others perceive us is often a focus on external qualities. The outside view does not necessarily offer a true reflection of what matters most to us and what we value. An authentic life, lived with intention and purpose, leads to the outside matching the inside Ð values and attitudes in action.

Often, we strive for these more outward characteristics, without feeding our innermost selves. To develop a new direction for your life, one that is Ò worth rememberingÓ ; clarify what you are concerned about by responding to the following questions: • What would I say about myself now?

• What would others say?

Elmore SPCA Sweet Pea is a dear cat that likes to cuddle and to be the center of attention. She was surrendered by her elderly owner because he could no longer provide care for his cats. She is a great cat that seems to get along with every cat she meets. She enjoys playing with toys, but her fa-

• Who do I look up to and respect? Why? • What have I been striving for and do I now see fault in that?

In addition, ask three wiser people what they see as their most significant personal accomplishments. Once your reconnaissance mission is complete; choose 3 or 4 areas to get your Ò living eulogyÓ in a more contented state.

Find what rings true for you in their responses and begin to incorporate these ideas into creating and living up to your best self. Make it as simple as possible and revisit your progress in 3 months.

Here are some easy examples to use as a guide to help you get started: BE NICE to everyone. Be responsible in not letting your Ò moodsÓ affect your behaviors.

Align your attitudes and actions. Let them monitor each other.

DO NOT talk about people behind their backs, go directly to them when you are both-

ered by something.

When tempted to take part in gossip remember this simple mantra Ð it is better to talk with someone rather than about someone.

Repeat and share as needed.

B U I L D DEEPER CONNECTIONS with friends and family. Be present in your relationships. Bring interesting ideas to conversations. Be consistent by following through on what you say you will and wonÕ t do.

WORK SMARTER. Think outside the norm to solve problems of efficiency and stagnation.

Be creative, brainstorm, and create some excitement in the monotony of your work routine and work place.

CARE OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE. DonÕ t judge people, just help them out; say hello, lend a hand, take a moment from your own busy life to acknowledge Ò strangersÓ . You will be surprised by the positive energy you receive in return.

Mountain Lake PBS wins Emmy for folk song documentary

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ When hiking near Lake Placid, one looks ahead to see the beauty of the Adirondack mountains, feeling the fresh cool breeze, and, all of a sudden, the music of a traditional folk song fills the air, just as it did 100 years ago.

ThatÕ s the mood evoked in the award winning documentary, which was created by one producer and other members from the Mountain Lake PBS (MLPBS) team. Ò The entire Mountain Lake team works diligently to produce only quality programming that will best serve our community, [and] we consider ourselves to be the regionÕ s storyteller and a convener of many conversations and issues that are important to our community,Ó said Alice Recore, CEO and president of MLPBS. Ò I am very pleased to be able to work with such a talented and creative group. Ò I couldnÕ t be prouder.Ó Ò Songs to Keep: Treasures of an Adirondack Folk Collector,Ó which was produced by Paul Larson, producer of the series Ò Art ExpressÓ on MLPBS, won a regional Emmy award for Outstanding Documentary at the 37th annual Boston/New England Emmy Awards gala June 7. Ò I was overjoyed to win the Emmy and humbled as well,Ó Larson said. Ò Awards for a job well done to inspire me to continue reaching for excellence.Ó This documentary relates the story of Majorie Lansing Porter, a woman who tirelessly collected 80 to 100-year-old Adirondack

folk songs on the brink of disappearing by recording them on a primitive recording device called a SoundScriber, which produced plastic records.

Traditional Arts in Upstate New York (TAUNY) was producing an album and a concert tour based on a collection of traditional folk songs collected by Porter. Because of this, executive producer Daniel Swinton felt that the story about the album, concerts and the folk collector herself would make an exciting documentary. Ò As I am known as the arts producer at Mountain Lake PBS, I was asked to create the program,Ó Larson said. Ò Much of my television work is about what inspires people to generate art, so the idea of having musicians perform in the outdoor environment that inspired these songs helped drive my vision for what this show was going to look like.Ó After seeing the potential for this documentary, Larson solicited contributions from New York state celebrities such as Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary, and the late Pete Seeger, getting help from other musicians along the way. Ò Lee Knight and Dave Ruch are both musicians who helped me understand the historical importance of traditional folk music,Ó Larson said. Ò They demonstrated ways to learn about how the miners and lumberjacks lived 100 years ago in the area through the songs these people sung to entertain themselves while working so hard.Ó Some of the many songs in this film are “The Irishtown Crew” by the Fraser Family, “The Days of 49” by Ruch, “Sailor’s Grave”

by Dan Berggren, Ò My Adirondack HomeÓ by the Bacon Brothers and Ò Once More a LumberinÕ GoÓ by Alex Smith.

Ò I love to be part of the documentation of the music of this region,Ó Smith said. Ò As an artist who plays all over the country, itÕ s truly a joy to be involved with something like this in my home area.Ó Ò I was invited to be part of the Songs to Keep project because IÕ ve been singing songs from Majorie Lansing PorterÕ s collection for almost 40 years,Ó Berggren said. Ò I jumped at the chance to show my appreciation for the work she accomplished.Ó Larson worked with videographers Paul Frederick and Dan McCullum to ensure that the beauty of the Adirondacks was expertly captured for the documentary, along with co-editor Michael Swantek, whoÕ s technical wizardry helped bring a large number of stationary historical photos to life. Ò We have been referred to as Ô the little station that can,Õ and I feel that aptly describes the efforts that go into each and every project and production we do,Ó Recore said. Ò Winning an Emmy in recognition of that effort is Ô the icing on the cake.Õ Ó Ò Songs to Keep: Treasures of an Adirondack Folk CollectorÓ will air again on MLPBS Aug. 7 at 9 p.m. Ò I spent many, many late nights perfecting the show technically after having worked a full day,Ó Larson said. Ò When it came to the quality of this program, I wanted it to look well polished so it would be able to please an audience on a local level and, potentially, on a national level. Ò The compelling story we told, the catchy music performed by talented musicians in amazing outdoor settings, plus the technical quality of the visuals and the editing are most likely the elements that impressed the Emmy judges.Ó

of Representatives. He mounted the rostrum and addressed the gathered dignitaries. Ò Hold on, Harry,Ó growled the gruff, bald Speaker, Sam Rayburn of Texas, Ò I have to introduce you.Ó Truman spoke without the brilliant Harvard phrases or the polished eloquence of FDR, but he spoke from the heart to millions of hearts: He pledged to carry on the war on two continents to eventual victory and unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan. He promised to fulfill the commitments made by his four-term predecessor. His speech was a great success, applauded on both sides of the aisle.

He concluded with these words: Ò At this moment, I have in my heart a prayer. As I have assumed my heavy duties, I humbly pray Almighty God, in the words of King Solomon: Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people that I may discern between good and bad, for who is able to judge this thy so great a people. I ask only to be a good and faithful servant of my Lord and my people.Ó The hushed House Chamber erupted in thunderous applause. It was said of Franklin D. Roosevelt that he was for the people. But Harry Truman was the people. He was a humble man because he knew the dangers of pride. Pride goes before a fall, he knew. He read that somewhere.

Eye on Business

Chauvin presented with Distinguished Agency award

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Allstate Independent Chauvin Agency has been designated an Allstate Distinguished Agency for 2014. Ò I believe we won this award by being committed to our insuredÕ s on giving them a good, reliable and local service,Ó said Gene Chauvin, president of the Chauvin Agency.

The Allstate Distinguished Agency designation was presented to the Chauvin Agency for their performance and commitment to putting customers at the center of their agencyÕ s work.

The Allstate Recognition dinner took place May 16 at The Sagamore Resort in Lake George where Andre Chauvin, son of Gene Chauvin, accepted the award for the agency. Ò It was nice to get something because we do a lot of good work for Allstate,Ó Andre Chauvin said. Ò And they recognize that.Ó The Chauvin Agency is awaiting their plaque to come and be hung on the walls that have been there for almost three generations of the four generation family agency. Ò The Chauvin Agency was started by my grandfather, Hector Chauvin, continued by his son, Merritt Chauvin, and my mother, Lita,” Gene Chauvin said. “I started in 1973 and purchased the business in the mid ’90s.”

Hector Chauvin formed what is todayÕ s agency when he was

appointed in 1932 by the Beekmantown Grange as a director, where he established fire protection insurance plans for farmers. Ò He was a dairy farmer,Ó Gene Chauvin said. Ò My grandfather ran the business out of his home.Ó In 1956, Hector’s son, Merritt, was appointed as Grange director and was assigned as fire insurance agent for the area in his 20Õ s, where he then added liability and risk programs to the insurance services.

In 1963, Merritt Chauvin purchased an insurance agency in Rouses Point. From there, he grew the business by purchasing six more small insurance agencies in the region.

Later on, illness forced Merritt from the business, but his wife, Lita Chauvin, kept the Chauvin Agency going.

Gene Chauvin started working part-time in 1973 and moved to full-time in the ’80s, where he opened an office in Plattsburgh while his mother ran the office in Rouses Point, later purchasing the office in Rouses Point in the ’90s and purchasing another office in Champlain seven years ago. Ò I go every Tuesday and Thursday to Rouses Point and Champlain, and Monday, Wednesday and Friday, IÕ m in Plattsburgh,Ó Gene Chauvin said. Ò With email, itÕ s not as hard as it sounds. Ò Everyday is a good day.Ó For personal coverage, they take care of homeowners, automobile, umbrella liability, boats, recreational vehicle, farm owners and horse farms.

For business coverage, they take care of contractors, business

property, business general liability, workers compensation, business automobile and commercial excess liability/umbrella.

For financial coverage, they take care of universal life insurance, individual retirement accounts and whole life.

To provide the best coverages, the Chauvin Agency works with many companies to provide a choice of the best coverages such as National Grange, Liberty Mutual, Travelers, Progressive and, of course, Allstate. Ò The Distinguished Agency designation is not just about the Chauvin AgencyÕ s successful business results,Ó said Denise Dorin, New York regional sales manager at Allstate Insurance Company. Ò The honor also demonstrates their commitment in being accessible to customers and using their knowledge to help ensure customers have the insurance products they need to protect themselves and their family.Ó According to their brochure, the Chauvin AgencyÕ s goal is Ò to reduce your insurance cost [and] tailor insurance to meet your needs.Ó To learn more about the Chauvin Agency, visit their website at www.thechauvinagency.com or visit their three locations in Plattsburgh, Rouses Point or Champlain. Ò I would like to thank my entire staff for all the hard work and dedication they do everyday and my wife, Gail, for all she does for the Chauvin Agency,Ó Gene Chauvin said. Ò They are the ones who deserve this award.Ó

Veteran graduates high school 70 years later

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN Ñ When Robert Stoneberger walked across the graduation stage in a bright red cap and gown this past weekend, he finished a journey interrupted over 70 years ago.

Stoneberger, who turned 88 two weeks ago, left school in 1944 at the age of 17 to join the U.S. Navy and serve in World War II. While in the Navy, he served aboard the aircraft carrier Bon Homme Richard and saw action with the Seventh Fleet in the South Pacific.

When he returned from the war, like so many of the veterans of that time, Stoneberger went to work and went about his life.

This past May, while a member of the Honor Flight trip to Washington D.C., StonebergerÕ s guardian, Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting, learned that Stoneberger had never graduated because of his war service. Cutting, together with flight leader Danny Kaifetz, began the process to get Stoneberger the recognition he had missed out on 70 years ago.

Under Operation Recognition, certain veterans from World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War who left high school to serve in the military are able to earn their high school diplomas. Operation Recognition was enacted under section 305 of the New York State Education Law. Stoneberger chose Beekmantown High School not only because it was the school nearest to his home, but also because of the outpouring of support the students gave Honor Flight veterans when they visited the school this past spring. Beekmantown High School Principal Nelly Collazo was instrumental in getting the diploma award finalized and stated that the school was extremely honored to be a part of this tribute to Stoneberger.

Relive History at Kent-Delord PLATTSBURGH — On July 12 and August 9, the Kent-Delord House Museum is conducting workshops for youths between the ages of 8 and 12.

Called Ò Reliving History,Ó the programs are scheduled to be three hours in length and participants will be able to gain handson experience in a number of early 19th Century crafts and trades from haversack making , calligraphy, fire starting, butter churning, weaving, cartridge making and more.

Each session will feature different activities.

The cost is $10/session, but if you register for all three the cost drops to $27. Come and join in the fun. Period snacks will be provided. Attendance at these events will make one eligible to participate in the Battle of Plattsburgh parade and the opportunity to reserve period clothing early.

Register forms are available on the museum website: www. kentdelordhouse.org Call 561-1035 for information.

Stoneberger was honored by being the first person to graduate at the commencement ceremony in full cap and gown with a blue veteranÕ s sash across his neck, bearing his full set of war medals.

He earned the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Medal with one Battle Star and the World War II Victory Medal.

Veterans interested in learning if they qualify for Operation Recognition should contact Steven Bowman, Director, Clinton County Veterans Service Agency 137 Margaret St., Plattsburgh, 565-4720.

A day in the life of a patrol boat officer

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com

Juggling Your Budget? Advertise Small, Get Big Results! Call 518-873-6368

PLATTSBURGH — Twin Mercury 150 motors rumbled to life, and the 25 foot patrol boat slipped from its berth past millions of dollars worth of sail boats and cabin cruisers, out onto the big lake.

Laws donÕ t stop at the waterÕ s edge. Thanks to the Clinton County SheriffÕ s DepartmentÕ s Marine Enforcement Division, neither does enforcement.

According to Deputy Jamie Head, though far from enforcement for enforcementÕ s sake, the primary mission of the boat patrol is safety and education for boaters.

Head captains one of three boats the SheriffÕ s Department employs to patrol the Clinton County portion of Lake Champlain, where the lake is at its widest expanse. They also have a back-up boat and two personal watercraft, commonly known as jet skis, to patrol smaller waterways like Chazy Lake. Ò We go out on patrol, just like you would in a car,Ó Head said. Ò WeÕ re not looking to harass people on the water, only those people who are violating the rules and laws. WeÕ re here to keep people safe while theyÕ re having fun.Ó Discreetly stowed around the tiny McKee Craft is communication equipment to talk to the other department boats, county dispatchers, State Police, U.S. Coast Guard, Border Patrol and Customs, as well as equipment like RADAR, Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), underwater cameras and even fire fighting equipment. Ò WeÕ re probably one of the best equipped marine patrols in the state. WeÕ re stacked.Ó While patrolling around Valcour Island the Coast Guard radio crackles to life with a disembodied Ò Pon pon, pon pon, pon pon,Ó Coast Guard speak for an important message is coming.

The dispatch advises Head and his partner, Special Deputy Mike Stephenson, of an unmanned Zodiac craft found drifting south of Rouses Point. That, Head said, could mean simply that the boat broke loose from its mooring, or it could mean that there is a boater in the cold Lake Champlain water.

The nearest Coast Guard vessel is in Burlington. The SheriffÕ s Department has a boat right in Rouses Point, and Head and Stephenson are not far, just south of Plattsburgh. Rather than roaring northbound though, Head and Stephenson break out maps and consult their computer screen, while they contact the Coast Guard for more specific directions.

Twenty minutes of back and forth communications and investigation located where the wayward actually was located; south of ThompsonÕ s Point in Charlotte, Vt., well south of

Clinton County Sheriff’s Deputy Jamie Head scans Lake Champlain for boaters violating the law or in distress. Head captains one of three department boats that patrol Lake Champlain from early spring until late into the fall.

Willsboro and a state away.

That, Head said, is typical of some of the calls they field. With no street signs and potentially confusing landmarks, people boating on the lake often have little idea where they actually are when an emergency occurs. Ò People go out unprepared with equipment and knowledge.

On the water, it can be so dangerous,Ó Head said. Ò I take it very seriously.Ó Besides regular lake patrol duties, marine enforcement assets are utilized for searches, special events like the MayorÕ s Cup regatta, perimeter security at fireworks displays, and they have even assisted other agencies including the Vermont State Police in homicide investigations.

Patrols start on the lake in mid-May and go through November. The department also keeps a boat in the water until midDecember in case of an emergency. There are 10 deputies, along with several special deputies who just work the marine patrol, who are certified marine patrol operators, so one can be located at any time to respond for emergencies. Regular coverage during the summer is seven days a week, from morning well into the evening. Ò It doesnÕ t matter the weather,Ó Head said. Ò WeÕ re out here.Ó

Mountain Lake PBS program celebrates Winter Games

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Driving through Lake Placid, one can see athletes skiing down Whiteface Mountain with the wind in their hair, snow treading behind them and a look of determination, things that were seen throughout the history of the Winter Games.

This scene is in light of the documentary that won an award created by one producer and the teamwork of the station Mountain Lake PBS. Ò The entire Mountain Lake team works diligently to produce only quality programming that will best serve our community, [and] we consider ourselves to be the regions storyteller and a convener of many conversations and issues that are important to our community,Ó said Alice Recore, CEO and president of MLPBS. Ò I am very pleased to be able to work with such a talented and creative group. Ò I couldnÕ t be prouder.Ó MLPBS won an award for Outstanding Locally Produced TV Show for Ò Mountain Lake PBS Celebrates Lake Placid and the Winter Games.Ó The award was given out at the New York State Broadcasters Association (NYSBA)

Awards gala held at Waldorf Astoria in New York City June 12, which was accepted by Tomeka Weatherspoon. Ò I was the main producer, but television production is a team effort,Ó Weatherspoon said. Ò I had solid support. Our whole team was excited when we heard the news.Ó The TV special, which was filmed in January 2014 and aired during the 2014 Sochi Winter Games, was a collaborative effort of Weatherspoon, executive producer Dan Swinton, videographer Dan McCullum and expert video wiz Laurie Atwood with assistance from Thom Hallock and Jen Kowalczyk.

The feature discussed the history surrounding Lake Placid and the Winter Games. Part of the special featured the Memories and Memorabilia event, which took place in Lake Placid. Ò As the Olympics were approaching earlier this year, we decided to capture a bit of the passion that everyone knows still resides within the village of Lake Placid,Ó Weatherspoon said.

Weatherspoon, with her production team, traveled through the village, went to some of the Olympic training facilities and listened to stories about the areaÕ s history with prominent local citizens, officials and athletes.

Some of the interviews included Audio-Vi-

From page 1 The Swon Brothers are an American country music duo from Muskagee, OK, who stayed under Blake SheltonÕ s wing throughout the competition. Even though they received third place, they were the first duo to make it from the Top 12 live shows to the season finale. They went on to sign a record deal with Arista Nov. 1, 2013, and released their first official single, “Later On,” the following month. Ò ItÕ s just what we were born to do, as cliche as it sounds,Ó said Zach Swon from The Swon Brothers. Ò WeÕ ve done it for so long, and we started when we could make noise, and it was something that was natural for us. Ò I guarantee that itÕ s the funnest thing that weÕ ve ever done and ever will do, and we will probably do it until the day we die.Ó The other country singer winner is Bradbery from Cypress, Texas. She became the youngest contestant to come in first place also under the watchful eye of Blake Shelton. After signing with Big Machine Records, she released her debut studio album, Danielle Bradbery, on Nov. 25, 2013, featuring the hit single “The Heart of Dixie.Ó The show will take place on the Casella Stage at the Sample Lumber Co.

Ò [The documentary] did a great job in explaining how the Olympics have grown since 1980, with the biggest thing being its size,” Lundin said. Ò I grew up in Lake Placid and got to see the 1980 Games and what they’re all about, and we didnÕ t have the number of games, athletes, people and media as we do now. Ò The games are much more extensive, and the venues are much more elaborate.Ó The event gathered close to 1,000 local residents, visitors and Winter Games aficionados, bringing together stories from the 1980 Winter Games in Lake Placid, a program that can be watched in its entirety online at mountainlake. org/local-stories/outdoors/-mountain-lakepbs-celebrates-lake-placid-/.

why not try and win some money?Ó Gillespie said. Ò If they got talent, use it.Ó Ô MANY PULLSÕ ItÕ s time to stop the music and start the engines because the pulling starts Wednesday with a harness race where the horses will pull their riders in a two-wheel cart called a sulky, an event that will take place at noon and is free to the public.

On Friday, starting at 6 p.m, there will be the Street Legal Truck Pull that will cost $6 admission or $6 for a Pit Pass. Ò If you own a pickup truck, bring it in the fair and see if you can beat somebody elseÕ s,Ó Gillespie said. Ò Come on in and see how good your truck can be.Ó After the trucks leave, the trackers come in during the Adirondack tracker pull Saturday, which starts at 3 p.m. Admission is $6 or $6 for a Pit Pass. Earlier in the morning, the mini-horses and muscular horses will come in for the two horse pulls taking place at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Admission for both horse pulls is free.

The Demolition Derby will take center stage Sunday with shows at 1 and 7 p.m, which will cost $7 for Grandstand seating for each show. The Pit Pass, for $15 sold at the 1 p.m. show, will cover admission for both shows, which will end the Clinton County fair until next year.
