AFES students help local toy drive

MORRISONVILLE

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com Au SABLE FORKS Ñ A trio of sixth grade students at AuSable Forks Elementary School wanted to make sure that children in their community were the recipients of a present this Christmas.

The students, Luis Perez, Dillon Goodrow and Autumn LaBrake, recently presented a check for $196 to Cindy Murphy of the M&M Diner in Au Sable Forks to go towards the annual Jay and Black Brook town toy drive.

The students made the money by selling wooden Christmas tree ornaments to their peers at the school.

AFES principal Ginene Mason said the tree was set up as a memory tree two years ago. Ò We lost a student a couple of years ago around Thanksgiving and together we came up with the idea of a memory tree,Ó Mason said. Ò The project has been championed by the kids ever since.Ó

NCCCA offers art class scholarships

By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The North Country Cultural Center for the Arts offers classes in a wide ranging selection of the arts, and they have several resources to make those classes accessible, even to those who couldnÕ t normally afford them.

Between the United Way, Youth Bureau, and private funding, the NCCCA offers scholarships to about 20 percent of the people who typically take their courses. Youth Bureau scholarships are available to children and teens, while the NCCCA has more leeway when it comes to their private grants. Ò At the art center we provide a really broad range of programs, and our programs have participants who are from Aimee baker, Education Coordinator at the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, displaying some of Photo by Shawn Ryan the clay creations made by one of the many kids arts classes at NCCCA.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Beginning with the issue of Jan. 4, 2014, the Burgh will begin individually addressing each paper to better manage and optimize the paper Õ s delivery each week. By doing so we can ensure that each household is receiving a copy of the paper and at the same time this method will allow us to better manage addresses for unoccupied homes and homes that for whatever reason do not want to receive the printed copy each week.

Over the course of the next few months we will be fine tuning the addresses and ensuring that they follow USPS Carrier Walk Sequencing. If for some reason you do not receive the paper as you normally have in the past and you reside within our free delivery zone, please call our office at 518-8736368 or email us at circulation@denpubs.com so that we may add you to our list of addresses.

Army nurse bucked the system to serve

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Dorothy LeClair just wanted to serve her country, so much so that she was willing to quit her nursing job to avoid being categorized as Ò essential.Ó At just 22 years old, LeClair was working in Lake Placid as a nurse. She went to her supervisor one day and told her that she wanted to join the service. Her boss said that she was happy for her, and that she would really enjoy the service. Then she went behind her back and told the Army that Dorothy was essential to the hospital. As an essential, she couldnÕ t be taken into the Army. Ò So then I got a letter from the Army telling me that I had to stay in Saranac Lake,Ó said LeClair. Ò So I wrote back to them and said that IÕ m quitting, so IÕ m not essential to anybody. So then they gave me my orders.

I was so mad at Saranac Lake. I was just so mad at that hospital.Ó She still has that same fiery spirit now, at 92. Telling the story her voice rises noticeably. She still hasnÕ t forgiven her hospital supervisor.

LeClair entered the Army, and became a Second Lieutenant serving in a hospital on Long Island. She was taking care of returning service men suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, or Ò shell-shockÓ as they referred to it in those days. Ò It was sad. That was not what I wanted to do. You couldnÕ t get close to them, and get involved in their history or anything,Ó she said. Ò Because then you reallyÉ you just did your work.Ó She had married her husband Carl on his 45 day leave between his deployment in Germany, and subsequent transfer to the Pacific Theater after the war in Europe had ended in

May 1945. When the war in the Pacific ended the following August, Carl insisted that she leave the army. Because she was an officer, she was able to get out much sooner than Carl, but eventually the pair reunited and settled back in the North Country. Ò IÕ m very happy I served. I wouldÕ ve liked to stay in, if I hadnÕ t gotten married.Ó Dorothy didnÕ t talk about her service much, not even to her husband. In fact, her friends at the senior center were shocked when she was approached to participate in an Honor Flight to Washington.

As appears to be a unanimous sentiment with Honor Flight veterans, Dorothy was thrilled by her trip to Washington. Arlington Cemetery and the Changing of the Guards stand out as one of the high points to her. Ò I loved it. It was tiring but it was so great.

Right from the minute we got to the Oval until we got back to the airport,Ó she said.

But there was another high point for Dorothy on the trip. While the group was at the World War II Monument, she was pulled out of the group by one of the Honor Flight organizers. She didnÕ t know at the time what it was for. Ò Someone from Honor Flight said Ô Dorothy, come with me,Õ and I said it isnÕ t time to go back yet!Ó She was brought to the New York section of the Monument with her grand-daughter who had accompanied her to Washington, and was presented a flag in honor of her husband Carl, who had died in 2011.

Dorothy regularly attends Honor Flight events, representing a not forgotten, but possibly underappreciated part of the war effort: the women who served their country in World War II. For some, like Dorothy, it was a fight just to get to do that, but one that was well worth fighting.

Burgh Editorial

Finally, the state smiles on the Adirondacks

F

or many years, it seemed those of us living in Northern New York could not catch a break.

ItÕ s hard enough when we leave the area and people ask us where we are from. The response, Ò Northern New York,Ó is always followed by, Ò Albany?Ó Ò Syracuse?Ó Ò Buffalo?Ó Ò ?Ó Seriously, there actually was a national television reporter who would refer to Weschester County as Northern New York.

It felt lawmakers saw the state in the same light. Millions and billions of dollars would flow like honey to everywhere but here, the Adirondacks. The rest of the state would evolve while the Adirondacks remained sheltered to all but a select few.

Fortunately, one of those select few now wears the mantle of Governor, Andrew Cuomo.

Since his election just over three years ago, the state funding pipeline has been expanded to include the North Country and the Adirondacks.

The most recent example is the North Country Economic Development Council receiving $81.3 million in state funding to help with projects that will drive the economy of the region.

Saranac Lake, which has been an Adirondack playground for Cuomo, received a generous share of the funding, with $5 million for the renovation of the Hotel Saranac and $2 million for the construction of a new resort and waterfront restaurant at the former Lake Flower Hotel. Bionique Testing Laboratories received $650,000 for expansion at its Lake Clear facility, adding 10,000 square feet for laboratories, storage and conference rooms; and the Pendragon Theatre in Saranac Lake received $3,360 for the hiring of a seasonal intern.

Mayor Clyde Rabideau said Cuomo spoke highly of the area: Ò He really grew to love the area, knows what we are about and knows what we need.Ó It wasnÕ t just Saranac Lake. In Tupper Lake, the Wild Center received $250,000 to support Phase 2 of its Wild Walk. A pair of North Country movie theaters in Indian Lake and Au Sable Forks received funding necessary to make the transition to digital projection technology in order to stay in business. The Adirondack North Country Association received $59,200 for the Adirondack Regional Arts Trail. Towns and municipalities received funding for infrastruc-

ture projects and green energy alternatives.

Two days later, the towns of Indian Lake, Long Lake, Minerva, Newcomb and North Hudson celebrated the land classification decisions made by the Adirondack Park Agency which would allow for snowmobile and hiking trail connectivity between the five towns and chances for economic growth. Cuomo was also at the forefront of this movement, bringing parties on the government, conservation and environmental sides of the issue to the table to come up with a land classification that would be acceptable to all sides.

The state also showed strong support for the passage of Propositions 4 and 5, which both benefit the economy of the Adirondack Park.

These are the most recent examples, but the biggest may still be the GovernorÕ s reaction to the North Country following Tropical Storm Irene. Cuomo was in the North Country two days after the storm cut its way through our region, devastating towns, destroying homes and uprooting families. His message remained constant: Ò We will rebuild better than before.Ó Since, the Cuomo administration has helped to fill the gap for the North Country, securing funding to rebuild both the Keene and Upper Jay Fire Houses and covering the remaining 25 percent in funding for FEMA property buyouts.

We can sit here and hope that if it were any other governor, things would have been the same. But, we never saw David Patterson or Eliot Spitzer in the North Country. George Pataki, now an Essex resident, was the last governor before Cuomo to come to the area with any frequency, but not like this.

Not all of his decisions have found favor here.

The SAFE Act is a real bone of contention with a majority of North Country residents, many of whom are dependent upon or are themselves sportsmen. Local political leaders are split on the tax levy cap. Conservative groups find his push for equal marriage rights upsetting.

However, with Andrew Cuomo in office, the state has often smiled upon the people of the North Country and the Adirondacks. As he prepares for what will most likely be a re-election bid as whispers of higher office float around him, we can only hope it remains this way for a long time to come. Ñ

Fundraiser to benefit First Weekends PLATTSBURGH Ñ First Weekends is proud to present its first fundraising event for the 2014 season. On Jan. 3 from 5-8 p.m. Lowell Wurster of Lucid will be the guest bartender at Champlain Wine Company. Net profits and tips will be donated to First Weekends in Downtown Plattsburgh, Inc., a not for profit organization that seeks to enact a cultural renaissance in Downtown Plattsburgh.

According to Tim McCormick the President of First Weekends in Plattsburgh, Inc. Ò First Weekends has received a tremendous amount of support from the community, however, as we grow we find our expenses increasing and in an effort to be able to provide free cultural activities in the future we must raise money in order to continue to grow. We are very excited to be partnering with a downtown business that has been part of First Weekends since our inception. We are busy planning our 2014 events and will be coming back stronger than ever before in April!Ó Champlain Wine Company generously donated their space and net profit along with Lowell Wurster for any tips given that evening. Ò It was a perfect fit, to hold this event downtown to keep within our themeÓ , Leigh Simonette, Vice President stated in a quote.

All donations will help cover expenses to host future events for the 2014 season.

First Weekends is excited to be planning the 2014 year and will be holding fundraising events the first weekend of the month throughout the winter.

the application to make sure they qualify for the specific grant. Ò I would stress that we, as much as possible, try to figure out a way to help people take the classes. Most of our funding really is for youth, but we do try to figure out ways for other people to take classes; so we have people taking private voice lessons, violin lessons, and those are really not accessible to some people unless there is financial help,Ó said Baker.

To qualify for the youth bureau funding a class has to run at least five sessions, two hours per session, on weekends. Classes at NCCCA however do run at various times and various days throughout the week. Ò We do it because we feel that the arts are really important to Plattsburgh, itÕ s really important that people have access to the arts, to participate as learners, and in the arts,Ó she said.

People interested in seeing what classes are available at the NCCCA should consult their website, www. plattsburgharts.org, or could call the NCCCA at 563-1604.

They are located on Brinkerhoff Street, next door to The Strand Theatre.

Continued from page 1 Mason said that Perez, Goodrow and LaBrake were the three students who helped lead the fundraiser. Ò They are three very active kids that do some wonderful things at school,Ó she said. Ò We wanted to keep the fundraising local so we decided to give to the local toy drive. Once the money was collected, the

kids and I walked it over and presented the check to Cindy.Ó They received help from Forrence Orchards, the family-owned nursery who donated the applewood to make the ornaments. The wood was then cut by members of Rick RondeauÕ s high school technology class. Teachers, led by fifth grade instructor Tammy Forrence, teacher coordinator for the project whose family owns the orchard, helped decorate the or-

naments to represent the colleges that had been adopted by each classroom for the school year. Ò She does a lot of hard work to help design and make the ornaments,Ó Mason said.

The ornaments were then sold to students in the school and were hung on the tree through Dec. 20, when the students took them home prior to the Christmas break.

New Year’s celebration at Titus Mt.

By Camille Daniels

denpubs@denpubs.com MALONE Ñ The year is ending and now is the time to figure out how to celebrate the beginning of a New Year and say farewell to the old one. Titus Mountain in Malone has the answer.

When it comes to New YearÕ s celebrations there are many different ways to celebrate.

Some prefer watching the ball drop live from Times Square in New York City. Others may celebrate by watching fireworks go off. But at Titus Mountain in Malone it is a different story. The way that they celebrate involves snow, skiing and a lot of good cheer.

A ski center may not be the first place people think of to ring in the New Year but that isnÕ t stopping the people of this ski resort from breaking out the champagne. Anyone thinking of attending should expect to have a good time. On their website it claims that it will be a night filled with food and live music. There are a few surprises the resort has up its sleeve but will not reveal until the night of the event. For anyone concerned about how late he or she may be allowed to ski need not to worry as the lifts will remain open on New Years day until 1 a.m. This is just enough time for anyone who may not be able to stay out all night for reasons such as prior engagements like having to go to work the next morning.

There are not too many places in the world that have a parade on New YearÕ s Eve but one place that does is the ski center. To help get the evening party started guests can look forward to a parade taking place as the torch that guides the parade participants around the area makes its way down the central slope and ending at

the larger outside area of the patio and lounge.

To experience some of the international flair of fireworks guests can look forward to a wonderful moment made to last a lifetime as fireworks will go off at the stroke of midnight above the mountains.

If deciding whether to just wait until nightfall to join the festivities there is no need to wait until then. The ski center starts its day at 9:30 a.m. and goes until the next day at 6 a.m. This is a family affair allowing for fun to be had by all throughout the day and early the next morning.

Toss the kids into the snow!

A

s a youngster growing up in the Adirondacks, I learned early on how to enjoy the winter and itÕ s many offerings, which ranged from snowball fights to snow forts, sledding, snowshoeing, skiing and skating I learned to embrace the winter at a young age, and how to take advantage of the recreational opportunities it offers.

In fact, until recently, IÕ d nearly forgotten about the many evenings spent atop the town hill tossing snowballs at passing cars. My memory was jogged just the other night, when a group of hooligans peppered my car with snowballs as I drove past the former scene of my crimes.

Adirondack winters can be the most extensive of all seasons, with snow storms typically arriving by October and the last of the snowpack hanging around until early May. If a person doesnÕ t know how to enjoy winter sports activities, it can become the cruelest of all the seasons, and up north, there is simply no way to avoid it. In fact, it is a key component the Adirondack culture. Most local kids know how to jump start a car by the age of 10 and by then, theyÕ ve already been shoveling sidewalks for at least ta couple of years. Around here, thereÕ s more money to be made shoveling snow than in mowing lawns.

Over the years, IÕ ve had the opportunity to introduce many guests to the joys of winter travel; but my greatest pleasure was derived in the process of introducing my own children to the joys of the season. They ski, skate, play hockey and both spent time with the luge and bobsled.

IÕ ve often been asked whatÕ s the most appropriate age to start a child on skis, snowshoes or skates. My standard response is, Ò As soon as itÕ s comfortable for both you and the kids!Ó Comfortable is the key word. Kids are high energy and can be easily entertained with minimum equipment and minimal instruction. However, the main focus is having fun for everyone involved.

Skis, skates or snowshoes are really winterÕ s toys. Sleds are a helpful tool for when the kids get tired.

Kids have a lower center of gravity, and if they fall the donÕ t have far to go. In fact, most kids like to fall in the snow, provided they are dressed properly.

My children have been on skis and skates from an early age. They began with boot binding skis, the type which allowed them to wear warm winter boots. They first learned how to slide, shuffle, fall and get up on the living room carpet.

Skiing is comfortable indoors as itÕ s warm, thereÕ s no deep powder, no cold mittens, no runny noses and it really generates great enthusiasm for getting outdoors.

When they finally advance to real snow, it’s important to remember they have short attention spans and mostly, they just want to have fun. DonÕ t exceed their tolerance level, and try to stop while they still want more.

Be sure to pay attention to the weather and donÕ t attempt outings in bitter cold or windy conditions. Be sure to dress kids accordingly and keep the lessons to a minimum. It is helpful to have a hill nearby, but not too steep. Even if they canÕ t kick and glide; they will want the skis to slide.

Strive to make the experience exciting and entertaining for them, and be sure to quit before they are bored or get too cold, and always keep a sled handy, just in case! ItÕ s has to be fun, or itÕ s done. Keep some hot chocolate handy.

If you want to instill a child with the desire to pursue the activity, whether skiing, snowshoeing or skating; be certain it is on their terms. Make their winter outings exciting and adventurous, and set simple yet achievable goals with a reward in mind.

We took a lot of home videos which are much easier to accomplish today than they were 15 or 20 years ago. Videos are great fun for them to watch their progress on TV, and itÕ s easier for parents to point out helpful techniques. Kids will strive to succeed if their parents are enthusiastic and involved.

Always quit the activity while you are ahead, and leave them wanting more, rather than wishing they could quit. Keep in mind that whatever the activity, it needs be for their satisfaction not yours!

A ski lesson that degenerates into a snowball fight is still good fun; even if it signals the end of the lesson.

I believe that skating is best accomplished first in an arena and similar to alpine skiing; it helps to have professional instruction. It is always better to have children learn these skills along with someone their own age and ability.

Positive reinforcement brings better results than negatives, so be sure to encourage rather than criticize. You can lead by example, but just go at a slower pace.

Nordic skiing and snowshoeing lessons can easily be handled by most parents. For either activity, I find it best to set groomed tracks appropriate to the width of the childÕ s stride. Ski or snowshoe tracks that are comfortable for an adult may be too wide for a small child to straddle and can cause them to be off balance.

The author and his daughter ski along the base of a large ice flow in this image taken by renowned Adirondack photographer, Frank Houck.

As children progress in skill, endurance and enthusiasm, it will soon be time to graduate from the backyard to a local nordic ski center. Be sure to upgrade their equipment appropriately since nothing hampers their development more than a pair of ski boots or skates that are too tight or skis that are too small.

When a child attains the skills necessary to enjoy the winter environment, their opportunities for positive recreational experiences are virtually unlimited. Parents and children will develop commonality and a set of shared skills that will result in an indelible recreational bond. According to recent reports, there are currently more people enjoying winter sports today than ever before. This is likely due to the advances in clothing, the availability of lighter and easier to use equipment, and a progressive and proactive winter sports industry.

It is important to realize that studies indicate the majority of lifelong skiers began skiing by the time they were in the 4th grade.

The research didnÕ t stop with just winter sports. Further studies indicate the majority of lifelong outdoor travelers were initiated to outdoor sports at a similarly early age, typically by their father, an Uncle or a close family friend.

The lack of structured entertainment centers such as movie theaters, social centers or YMCAÕ s in most Adirondack communities, should not be considered a negative factor; especially if parents and community leaders make the effort to provide similarly enjoyable positive recreational opportunities.

The community of Tupper Lake has long been a leader in this regard, with their continuing volunteer efforts to reopen Big Tupper Ski Area, and to develop a new, outdoor municipal skating rink.

These new developments follow the successful effort to upgrade their local movie theater and bring it into the digital age. There is more to be done, but itÕ s obvious the community is well on the way.

Gov. Cuomo – Support New York’s Family Caregivers.

Right now, New York State fails to provide adequate support to the millions of family caregivers that allow seniors to live independently in their homes. Without the help of these unpaid caregivers, many seniors would likely be placed in costly, taxpayer-funded institutions like nursing homes.

But by providing training and support, we can give family caregivers the resources they need to help seniors live where they want—at home. Our seniors deserve better than being forced from their homes and into institutions that cost taxpayers a bundle.

Call 1-888-374-2742 to urge Governor Cuomo to provide support for caregivers in next year’s state budget.
