By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Old Stone Barracks needs some more friends if it wants to return to North Country hands.

The massive barracks building, and the seven choice city acres it sits on, was scooped up by a Canadian investor several years ago. His plan to convert the barracks into apartments sparked public outcry, as the most well-known and oldest vestige of PlattsburghÕ s military heritage was in jeopardy of falling to the scythe of commercialization.

He eventually withdrew his proposal to convert the building, but placed the property on the market for sale.

By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN Ñ ItÕ s the fastest growing Ò newÓ sport in the country, and itÕ s landed at the Sun-E-Hill Farm on Route 11 in Champlain.

Farm owner and retired businessman Neil Sutcliffe heard of Soccer-Golf, or more accurately known as Foot-Golf, three weeks ago, when he was sent a link to an NBC news story about the phenomenon. In the two years since it was brought to the United States, 191 Foot Golf courses have spring up nation wide.

Two days later he was digging holes, and soccer balls were soon flying.

After selling off his stable of race horses and starting to turn his sizable barn into a meeting and reception space over the past several years, Sutcliffe took to the pastures with earth moving equipment and Kentucky Blue-Grass. He transformed his pastures into a short nine-hold par-3 golf course, played with a modified “Cayman Ball,” to give the course a longer feel.

When he heard about Foot Golf, he fell for the idea immediately.

Gadabout Traveling Film Festival brings films, music to P’burgh

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Gadabout Traveling Film Festival will be bringing silent films back to the big screen at 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 18 at 30 City, located downtown at 30 City Hall Place. Ò ItÕ s a really unique and interesting event,Ó said Matthew Hall, organizer of the event. Ò ThereÕ s going to be films that you’ll never have a chance to see anywhere else but here.”

The film festival will offer a selection of short silent films, as well as live music from Eric Ayotte, who organizes the annual traveling festival, with local singer songwriter For the Kid in the Back. Ò Instead of skipping through a few funny clips on your phone or laptop with crappy speakers, we are screening a hand-picked batch of amazing short films on a large screen with good sound,” Ayotte said. Ò One thing remains from the beginning, the event aspect, [which is] creating an evening around film and music.” Ô THE GADABOUTÕ The Gadabout tours with a new batch of films each year, which all started with the idea of creating a film festival that operates more like a DIY punk band, an alternative to the money focused, commercial film festivals.

“Growing up in a DIY music scene, I always felt this encouragement and excitement about playing music,Ó Ayotte said. Ò There was a supportive community, places you could tour to, [and], basically, the infrastructure was there.

“So, I wanted to see a film festival that was treated like a punk band.”

They bought at van, got a projector, screen and PA and then took a program of independent short films out on the road, screening in basements, art houses, music venues, collective spaces, warehouses, parking lots and parks.

The Gadabout’s strives to bring together a collection of inspiring, fun and entertaining films by passionate genuine filmmakers, according to its website, and each year since they’ve continued to create a new program and take it on tour.

Over time, they have gone from receiving VHS submissions in the mail to transferring digital films from filmmakers online that live thousands of miles away.

So far, they’ve received and shared short films from all around the world, screening them in 45 states, eight different countries and over 100 cities during the past 12 years, including the series Ò Speechless,Ó which will be showed during this upcoming event. Ô SPEECHLESS FILMSÕ This year, the film fest will contain a special program of films called “Speechless.” Ò We had this idea for a while to produce a program with no actual talking,Ó Ayotte said. Ò There have always been films in the past with no dialogue, and they have always been some of the most expressive and entertaining films, [and] you can say so much in a short film without speaking.”

All of the films are 5-minute long, no dialogue shorts produced by a variety of different people all around the world.

The aim of Ò SpeechlessÓ is to have a program that plays with the idea of communication, trying to show that verbal language is not the only way to express or tell a story. Ò Õ SpeechlessÕ does not mean silent,Ó Ayotte said. Ò ThereÕ s plenty of sound.

“We have a few amazing animations, a music video, some experimental films and some fun narratives, [and] all are extremely well made and have impressed audiences so far.” Ô THE TOURÕ The GadaboutÕ s stop in Plattsburgh will be the start to the US tour, which will last for three months.

“The Gadabout is a traveling film festival, so the goal is to curate a program of short films and get it in front of as many people as we can,Ó Ayotte said. Ò WeÕ ve done a big weekend festival in Bloomington these past few years, and itÕ s nice, but you can never reach the amount of people that you can when youÕ re on tour.

“Again, to parallel the music scene, we find it very important to the whole concept of the festival to get out there and share these films.”

So far, the Gadabout has done their kickoff event in Bloomington, Ind. and then left for their first two weeks in mainland Europe in May with screenings in Germany, France, Poland, Hungary, Austria, the Netherlands and the UK. After the US tour, they will head back to Europe in November for another month and a half, which will officially end the tour after going to over 75 cities in the US and over 15 different countries.

For more information about the event in Plattsburgh or the tour itself, contact Ayotte at gadaboutfilmfest@gmail.com or Hall at mhall12901@gmail.com.

“We don’t expect everyone that comes to the Gadabout to want to go home and make a film,” Ayotte said. “But we do hope people can leave an excitement to go home and work on whatever their creative outlet is.Ó

County on Way to Wellville County looking to make the Top 5

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Clinton County is on itÕ s way to Wellville, at least they hope they are.

County officials announced several weeks ago that Clinton County was participating in The Way to Wellville, an initiative of the Health Initiative Coordinating Council, or HICCup. HICCup received applications for the five year health and wellness initiative from 42 counties across the country.

Clinton County made the first cut, to the “Sweet 16,” then made the next cut to the Top 10. For the past two weeks members of HICCup have been crisscrossing the country, stopping in all of the final 10 counties. Clinton County was their last stop. The next step will be to make the Final five. Ò ItÕ s a mission of everybody standing here (wellness),Ó said Clinton County Board of Health president Lynn Howard. Ò Each portion is like a separate thread in a blanket. As the threads are woven together it becomes stronger and forms a unique design.Ó

The Way to Wellness incorporates primary health care, exercise, healthy eating and lifestyles and a trajectory of healthy lifestyles for the county. Ò The healthy movement in Clinton County is not new, it has been going on for well over a decade,Ó said Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Bernie Bassett. Ò ThereÕ s so much happening here, itÕ s amazing.Ó Bassett mentioned initiatives like the Saranac River Trail, and the ongoing plans to extend the trail into the town.

After the press conference, HICCup officials were brought on a tour of Clinton County, including the River Trail and the disk gold course in Cadyville among other locations. Ò The whole point of the Way to Wellville is that itÕ s a journey,Ó said HICCup founder Esther Dyson. Ò WeÕ re here this morning to talk about the problems and how to fix them. We’re really excited to be here and work with you in one form or another.Ó If chosen, HICCup will work with Clinton County on ways to stimulate wellness initiatives, secure grant funding for wellness, and Ò Inform and promote healthy living practices.Ó HICCup will determine it’s Top 5 in the coming weeks.

Local couple to chair United Way campaign PLATTSBURGH Ñ The United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. is in the early stage of planning for the 2015 campaign.

The volunteer campaign team is being led by Bruce and Marge Garcia of Keeseville, NY. Bruce is the CEO of Joint Council For Economic Opportunities, Inc. (JCEO) and Marge is a long time employee at Adirondack Community Action Programs, Inc. (ACAP) as the Development Coordinator. They both have had a long career in the Health and Human Service field and have been affiliated with the United Way for many years.

The GarciaÕ s are leading a committed volunteer campaign team that includes the following: Amy Kretser, Jamie Basiliere, Betsy Senkowski, DaleAnne Wolter, Dan Alexander, Deena McCullough, Gayle Alexander, Gerry Morrow, Ellen Gordon, Bruce Gray, Julie Kramer, Lisa VanNatten, Maria Burke, and Tony Searing. “We are excited to be co-chairing the campaign and are looking forward to working with the team and our community to meet our goalÓ said Bruce and Marge Garcia.

This year’s goal is $725,000 which will support high priority services provided by a network of 41 Partner Agencies. Last

year collectively the partner agencies helped 80,000 people in the three counties of Clinton, Essex and Franklin. The services that the 41 partner agencies provide are for a wide range of programs from a number of activities for children, to helping the elderly, plus mental health service, domestic violence issues and families in need of basic services.

Giving to the United Way is an efficient and effective way to pool the donations to help the most people because 100% of the money donated stays in the area and helps people everyone knows. The impact from the funds raised through the campaign is visible in our community through the face of our families, neighbors, friends and co-workers.

Bruce Garcia went on to say, Ò As long time supporters of the United Way, Marge and I have seen the impact the United Way partner agencies have on families and our community. If you have supported United Way in the past, thank you, and we hope you will continue your support. If you havenÕ t yet become a supporter, we would encourage you to contact us or a member of the campaign team to learn more about how you can help.Ó

The Pacesetter campaigns will start on August 1st, 2014. Letters will be mailed out to residents and business the first part of August. Kathy Snow, Director of Development stated, Ò When the letters are received we hope all will think of the impact they can make in the community by donating to the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc.Ó For more information you can go to the United Way’s web-site www.unitedwayadk.org or call 518563-0028.

Yet another roadblock to the ACRP project

I

nvasive species, like the spread of deadly algal blooms, has dominated headlines this summer.

The issue received a boost last month when Kirsten Gillibrand, New York’s junior Senator, visited Lake Placid to champion the Invasive Fish and Wildlife Prevention Act, one of the three proposed Great Lakes Bills that would accelerate the federal governmentÕ s review process when it considers whether to ban the importation of animals and plants, among other measures.

Combating invasives is a bipartisan issue that has sweeping ramifications across the region.

Their pervasive spread costs the federal government damages of $120 billion per year and their presence in the Adirondack Park Ñ including blue algae, milfoil, zebra mussels and the spiny water flea — has the opportunity to derail the chief economic driver of the region Ñ tourism, an industry that generated $144 million in local taxes last year and is the keystone to the North CountryÕ s future, one that complements emerging developments in the biomass energy industry, agriculture and international trade sectors.

Excessive amounts of algae, alongside manmade contaminants, chokes off oxygen and leads to dead zones within bodies of water, places where life cannot exist.

Readers may be familiar with the problems facing Lake George.

There, dead zones have been reported, little storms of stagnation Ñ pockets of slimy algal ooze paired with synthetic pollutants that have posed as a mortal threat to aquatic survival. Exhaustive efforts are under way to keep these combatants in check, including a proposed study in September that will enlist volunteers to scope the shores for the Asian Clam.

Another example of a dead zone is Tupper Lake. Beneath the austere gunpowder-gray sheen of Big Tupper belies a sense of unnatural gloom.

While the lake itself is just fine, a recent peek into the human habitat shows a disproportionate percentage of those fortunate enough to be working are employed in the public sector, a number expected to shrink as restructuring at Sunmount Developmental Disabilities kicks a wider swath into a struggling private sector that often, has no place for them.

The invasives threatening Tupper Lake are the two radical environmental organizations who threw up another roadblock to the Adirondack Club and Resort Project earlier this month with another legal challenge.

The motion, filed by the two groups made in the Appellate Division, Third Department, is just another ruinous attempt to flush people out of the Adirondack Park, a coordinated action attempting to destabilize the economic stability of the region to pursue their fanatical environmen-

talist agenda.

Earlier this summer, a state appellate court voted 5-0 that the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) did not err in awarding Preserve Associates the permits to undertake the largest construction project approved by the APA, the construction of 600 vacation homes near the Big Tupper Ski Area.

The announcement follows the 10-1 ruling in 2012 that the APA conducted a thorough review and the project would not have an adverse environmental impact on the 6,000 acres in question, 90 percent of which were to remain undevelopment after years of negotiations with various stakeholders.

Environmental organizations are an integral component to the Adirondack ecosystem. They act as indispensable counterweights to commercial interests and their advocacy is often overlooked by natives who are often frustrated at navigating the cumbersome bureaucracy that is an unfortunate counterpart to our unparalleled natural beauty.

The Adirondack Council led the charge on forcing Adirondack Club developers to implement greener energy standards and to reduce potential light pollution. They also pushed for clustering that would have reduced the amount of development across the acreage and more intensive wildlife studies to be conducted by the APA. Despite their efforts, they failed on the last two accounts and the project continued forward. But the Adirondack Council opted to chalk the defeat up to what they perceived as internal flaws within the organization and have opted to pivot their strategy to influence the discussion in other areas.

They should be commended for that. We agree with them that the APA should be compelled to scrutinize those issues when addressing development projects while politely disagreeing to the exact scope.

This long-term plan to ensure the discussion amongst various stakeholders in the Adirondack Park remains civil is in contrast to the scorched earth approach favored by the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, spiteful and vituperative legal maneuvering designed to antagonize Tupper Lake residents and stick the people trying to improve the local economy with the court fees in the process.

These actions are causing direct economic consequences to good people.

Like the fight against the invasives, ensuring the sustainability of the human ecosystem should be an issue that transcends partisan and ideological squabbling. This includes good schools, competitive jobs and a sustainable year-round economy centered around infrastructure development for our small communities.

Anything less is unconscionable.

Letters to the Editor

Editorial gets it right To the Editor: Finally!! Someone gets it right. Your editorial in the July 19 Times of Ti, regarding the defensive use of guns, is to be applauded. When so much of the liberal news media is constantly on the attack regarding gun ownership, you have written a piece that will make all the gun control advocates shake their heads with disgust. You can’t reason with them, but thanks for your valiant effort.

Over the last 30 or so years, our country has systematically shut down thousands of institutions for the mentally ill and placed them in mainstream society. The results are and have been predictable. Most of the atrocities committed by people with guns should never have happened because they shouldnÕ t have had access to the guns in the first place. It is time to place the blame squarely where it belongsÉ on the person behind the weapon that is used illegally. To cite two cases, the Newtown, CT shooting was committed by a clearly mentally disturbed young man whose own mother allowed him access to weapons he should have never been near. The response was, and still is, to blame the so-called assault rifle. Recently, near the University of California in Santa Barbara another disturbed young man stabbed three people to death before going on a shooting rampage that killed three more. Most of the focus from the media

was on the shooting deaths and very little was mentioned about the three stabbings.

As a long time member of the NRA, I receive a monthly publication called American Rifleman, which contains a column called Armed Citizen which highlights several episodes of people who were not victims of a crime because they were armed. Virtually none of these stories make national news. Your editorial gives hope to those who believe in our second amendment.

Roger J. Nolfe Ticonderoga

Editorial thought provoking To the Editor: Your recent editorial about the expense of quarantining two American victims of Ebola virus was thought provoking. I share your frustration about funding priorities. Ebola has caused hundreds of deaths and we hope a cure and treatment are in the nottoo-distant future.

But to put this in perspective, in the early 2000Õ s when multidrug resistant TB was discovered, it cost NYC up to half million to quarantine each patient. TB is treatable with a pretty inexpensive regimen of drugs IF people get tested, treated and take their

full course of treatment. Let us not forget that millions of people die from TB, AIDS and Malaria. And that millions of children die in Africa of vaccine treatable diseases.

Den Pub readers might be interested to learn that thanks to the global vaccine alliance called GAVI, hundreds of millions of children were vaccinated and 6 million lives were saved since 2000. Because many more villages in Africa have access to health care and vaccines, many families no longer watch their children die of measles, diarrhea and pneumonia. An additional 3 million childrenÕ s lives will be saved if GAVIÕ s multi-national budget is funded for the next 5 years. New anti-rotoviral drugs (anti-pneumonia) are available but need refrigeration and staff and a way to get them into isolated towns and villages.

The 25% growth in African economy due to health improvements has yet to diminish the view expressed in your editorial of hopeless frustration. I invite you to educate your readers with what is working in global humanitarian foreign aid. To counteract that, please join me in asking your Member of Congress, (mine is Congressman Bill Owens) to co-sponsor House Res 688 which supports GAVI, the global alliance for vaccines. The Resolution was recently introduced by Congresswoman Betty McCollum. 9 Republican and 9 Democratic members have provided strong bi-partisan initial co-sponsorship. Tell your representative to co-sponsor. Save lives.

Sue Oehser Bakers Mills

Style & Substance: On encouraging someone to speak the truth Dear style & substance: A friend of mine never says what she really means. When I ask her if she would like to do something with me or with our families, instead of saying what is really going on, which I feel I could understand, she makes up some other story. It all comes out in the long run, because it gets contradicted in one way or another. I really feel like I need to say something, but have no idea how to approach it.

Since you are talking about the Ò truthÓ , it may be best to paraphrase what you just asked/ told us. It sounds like the two of you are at an impasse. You and your friend seem to have very different expectations and this could be the real heart of the matter.

LetÕ s deconstruct this pattern: you want to hear the Ò truthÓ and your perception is that your friend is afraid to tell it, at least to you.

Once you have explored your feelings a bit further, share these thoughts with your friend. Be sure your feelings are delivered in a hear-able manner, she already sounds a bit intimidated by your expectations. As hard as it may be to accept; people lie, fib, and hide their truth out of fear.

While developing your plan of action, take some time to reflect upon and clarify this relationship. Consider the friendship; what do you give and what do you get in return? Is it mutual, in that you care for each other and value your relationship at the same level? Think about the foundations of this relationship, why do you like this person? What qualities do you love and value? Is it possible you are being pushy

feelings in a manner that leaves room for discussion and not just blame and disappointment. Having these difficult conversations can either strengthen your friendship or bring it to a natural end point. Either way, you have addressed a situation with honesty and respect, qualities that are always appreciated.

Blue Woolf

Dem candidate for NY21 laces boots as campaign enters fall stretch

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — As the race for New York’s 21st Congressional District enters the 90-day stretch before voters head to the polls in November, Democratic candidate Aaron Woolf said he perceives what he refers to as a Ò perceptible ramping up of momentum.Ó Woolf, speaking to the Valley News after receiving an endorsement from the Central Trades and Labor Council last Thursday in Gouverneur, said his campaign has been focused on traversing the district and speaking with voters and small business owners.

The candidate said he felt moved by the spirit of bipartisanship, something is says is a quintessential North Country characteristic.

Office openings in Potsdam, Glens Falls and Watertown have added to his buoyancy. Ò Each appearance seems to have more people than the last,Ó he said. Ò Rooms full of twenty-something energy.Ó On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the candidate, who lives in Elizabethtown, released his first television advertisement, a gauzy, half-minute ode to bipartisanship entitled Ò Walk Across the Aisle.Ó ADIRONDACK ISSUES In a half-hour phone interview, Woolf cited several issues that his Republican opponent in the race, Elise Stefanik, also discussed at a meeting of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board last month. They include controlling the spread of invasive species, examining the emerging biomass energy industry and developing tourism infrastructure, including roads, broadband and financial boosts for bicycle tourism, that will help bump the economy.

Ò We need to invest in research that will make renewable increasingly viable,Ó Woolf said. Ò We can and should be a model for the rest of the state and country.Ó The candidate said biofuels demonstrate perhaps the most promising growth potential in the region.

Invasive species, he said, threaten the districtÕ s tourism, one of its chief economic drivers. Citing past work on a variety of boards Ñ including the Adirondack Council, where he served before resigning to run for office — he stressed the merits of conservation and preservation. Ò IÕ m proud of bills sponsored by (State Sen.) Betty Little in terms of fighting invasives,” he said. “It’s an issue that can bring us together in a bipartisan way.Ó Woolf cited the Adirondack Regional Assessment Project, the report released earlier this year that painted a grim portrait of the demographics within the Adirondack Park. Reversing the districtÕ s ailing trends Ñ young people are leaving, schools are closing and the population is rapidly transitioning from gray to green Ñ are crucial to ensure a vital future, he said. Ò Our stakes are palpably high,Ó he said. Ò The 2010 census was visceral. People are leaving and not coming back. My goal is not only to arrest the departure of young people, but bring them back. The lifestyle here is awesome: clean air, recreation and delicious food. This place has enviable communities. This place is going to thrive, but letÕ s give businesses the tools to do so right now.Ó LOCAL FLAVOR WoolfÕ s interviews and local appearances are peppered with local references Ñ service on boards, mutual friends, places, local wildlife sightings, bluegrass jam sessions, new arrivals in the neighborhood — that flow appear to flow organically.

In the conversation, the filmmaker frequently referred to the value of walkable communities in Adirondack towns, including Elizabethtown, where he lives with his wife, Carolyn, and their three-year-old daughter, Eloise.

“You often think about walkable communities being an urban thing, but places like Elizabethtown used to be like that,Ó he said. Ò There is kind of little a density in a lot of our communities, especially in Elizabethtown, that pre-date automobile ownership.

The same people making downtown Plattsburgh fun again could be doing the same thing in Tupper Lake and Elizabethtown Ñ thatÕ s why jobs are Number One.Ó He frequently circled back to the 2014 Common Ground Alliance Forum in Long Lake last month. Ò If it wasnÕ t for them, I wouldnÕ t be running for this seat,Ó he said.

The forum was sponsored by the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA), a group that bills itself as the longest running nonprofit rural development organization in Northern New York. According to its website, the group fosters partnerships with local governments, non-profits, small businesses and universities to facilitate economic development. Ò I went before I was a candidate, I went this year, and I plan on attending next year, whether or not I win in November,” Woolf said. Ò My real dedication is to this place. IÕ m going to work to improve to build the community and be part of the economy. No matter what happens in November, IÕ ll be here doing the same things IÕ ve been doing, whether itÕ s the movie theater project or serving on boards, in some capacity next year.”

WORK BOOTS At a meet and greet in Wadhams, Essex County, earlier this year, Woolf relayed an anecdote about his work boots, footwear that served a duel purpose as he embarked on his first bid for elected office.

The first was to offer protection from the effluent flowing from a pipe that burst on a cold and clear night in February on the eve of his pitch to the Democratic powerbrokers in Long Lake.

The second, as a symbolic shield against the sordid muck of modern politics, he said. Ò If you do this, youÕ re going to get a lot of manure tossed at you,Ó he said at the time. Ò It seemed very emblematic.Ó Woolf shrugged off several weeks of bad press that saw him taking heat on a variety of issues, including health violations at Urban Rustic, his Brooklyn-based grocery store, and the financial revelations that have allowed his opponents to paint him as a downstate millionaire.

“I think it’s hard to know exactly how you’re going to feel,” he said in regards to the attacks. Ò But this is a contact sport. I didnÕ t jump into this without talking to a lot of thoughtful people. IÕ m totally fine with it, but I’m little wary when my family becomes involved.Ó He cited a visit to the Left Bank Cafe in Saranac Lake last month as a not-so-subtle reminder that he needed to schedule a date with his wife. Ò Life has become very regimented. I have to put on calendar things that would have been ordinary Ñ even playing with daughter.Ó Woolf demured on punching back at his opponents, opting only to stress he would keep Medicare intact, unlike Stefanik, who Woolf said is an advocate of privatization. Ò Ô ModernizingÕ is the term she used, replacing it with a voucher system,Ó said Woolf. Ò Those positions are well-known and cause some anxiety.”

The candidate said feedback from voters on the trail has been positive.

Asked about Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello, the Glens Falls-based baker who has repeatedly assailed Woolf as being unlikely to peel away right-leaning voters in the swing district, Woolf doubled back to Stefanik. Ò IÕ m really focused on my Republican opponent,Ó he said. Ò And to be honest, just focused on continually going around the district and talking to voters.Ó

Free day at the beach to discuss waterfront development Vision 2 Action organizing event

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The public will have a chance to voice their ideas about waterfront development, and stretch the summer another week in the process.

Officials from the city and town of Plattsbugh and Clinton County, together with Plattsburgh based Vision 2 Action, announced recently that the Plattsburgh city beach will re-open September 6, a week after itÕ s scheduled close, to host a forum on waterfront development. The free event will also feature a full slate of beach activities, kayaking, paddle-boarding, childrenÕ s games, a sand castle contest, concessions and other attractions as well.

“It’s the first time in my memorry that the city, town and county are actually working together on ways that effect us all,Ó said Paul Sands, Planning Committee Chair of Vision 2 Action. Ò The good news is that weÕ ve found that we have people in office who not only understand the issues, but are committed to doing something about them.Ó

The issue under cosideration is future waterfront development along the entirty of Clinton County’s lakefront. Public officials will be on hand to speak to anyone with an opinion or a plan about future development. Ò Our waterfront is one of our most valuable assets. We hope to see as many people as we can on that day. We hope that people come out in great numbers,Ó said John Jablonski with Vision 2 Action. Ò Make no mistake, this is historic.Ó County legislator Colin Read pointed out that while politicians are the ones who can put ideas into motion, the best ideas typically come from the grass roots. Read is one of the officials who will be on hand Sept 6 for the open forum.

The beach will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will be free to anybody from the county.

Everyone who attends will be entered into a drawing for either a free kayak or a stand-up paddleboard. The drawing will be at noon, but the winner must be present to win. Ò Vision 2 Action is always looking for opportunities to bring people together, and to salute people who are already bringing people together. We found we didnÕ t have to pursuade anybody, they (local officials) were already doing it.Ó said Sands.

John Jablonski with Vision 2 Action is flanked by local politicians and business leaders, while he announces the upcoming free beach day to discuss lakefront development.

News Briefs Strand Exhibition “Gail & Clay Morris” slated

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Strand Center for the Arts is proud to announce the upcoming August exhibit which features works by Gail and Clay Morris on display in our Main Gallery on August 23rd, 2014. The combination of Gail’s plein air painting with the photographic work of her husband Clay produces a complement in landscapes, emphasizing color and space. The opening reception will be held August 1st from 5:30-7:00 PM and coincides with the First Weekends in Plattsburgh August Art Walk. This event is free to the public and refreshments will be served.

Gail Morris was the winner of the 2013 Juried Show held at the Strand Center for the Arts last year, part of the prize was being given her own solo show. Gail states that Ò For me, the art in nature is invigorating and gives pause to observe the world around us. I averaged one or two paintings a year until my husband, Clay, coaxed me into entering three paintings in the NCCCA Juried Art Show. Surprisingly, my painting, “Country Road Bouquet” took first place.” Gail had taken painting and drawing classes in college, but after 37 years teaching grade school students and raising her own children she has once again turned her attention to painting. With the support of her husband Clay, who will also be showing a selection of his photographic works, Gail has re-entered the art scene. The Arts Center will also be providing refreshments. For more information on the artists, exhibition or First Weekends Art Walk contact SCA at 518-563-1604, email gallery@plattsburgharts. org, or visit Plattsburgharts.org.

The tour leaves at 11 a.m. from the Clinton County Historical Museum; located at 98 Ohio Avenue, Plattsburgh. The cost of the tour is $5 per person, and is free for children and CCHA members.

Jamy Begor wins by a smile at Plattsburgh’s Airborne Speedway PLATTSBURGH — Airborne fans were treated to a terrific sideby-side 20-lap duel between Jamy Begor and Robert Gordon to complete the Renegade 100 on MX Fuels/Gordon Oil Night. BegorÕ s winning margin was about the width of his smile in victory lane.

With Gordon on the inside and Begor on the outside, the pair raced a few feet apart. Just as Begor got a nose in front for the first time, the fourth and final caution was thrown for Rich Lowrey III, who got turned around while running fifth.

Begor managed a car-length lead in the Connors Sand Pit/ MX Fuels No.19, but Gordon rallied back with Josh Terry at close range hoping for some contact that never came. Terry led the first 59 laps.

Lance Rabtoy and Shawn Duquette finished fourth and fifth respectively. ÒI kept seeing RobertÕ s white fender right there,Ó Begor said.

“He raced me very clean. You just have to try and hit your marks when you’re up against a competitor like that. It’s my first win in a 100 ever and on one of my sponsorsÕ night. ItÕ s pretty amazing!Ó Nick Heywood of Plattsburgh took command of the J&S Steel Sportsman Modified feature late and built a comfortable winning margin in the closing laps. Combined with a win in his heat race, Heywood was able to take over first place in the point standings as well as pad his lead in the New York State NASCAR standings and his hold on the top spot for NASCAR National Rookie of the Year honors.

Runner-up Jason Durgan shot past Codie Aubin for the lead down the backstretch with six lap remaining, but Aubin blew a tire seconds later and the restart brought Heywood into striking distance. After two false starts, Heywood won the draw and the race.

Mark Lamberton rallied late for third after starting 17th. Tra-

Stone Barracks From page 1

and political leaders formed four years ago, who have joined forces to save the barracks. They have been in contact with the owner for several months, trying to negotiate a reasonable price for its sale.

“With it still on the market, the threat remains,” said Marty Mannix, of Friends of the Old Stone Barracks.

This past week, the Friends announced that they have arrived on a price for the property, and after delivering a substantial down-payment, are gearing up a campaign to raise the remaining money. They hope to take the property out of the public sphere, and determine later how best to preserve and use the space.

“Buildings tell stories,” said Celine Pauquette of Friends. “They reflect who we are as a people.

The Old Stone Barracks has been many things to many people.Ó The price tag for the building, plus a small amount for shoring up the foundation of the building and administration of the organization is $225,000, significantly more than the $35,000 the property was scarfed up for. The Friends have until late December to raise that money.

When asked what would become of the deposit already posted for the property if the money is not raised, Friends president and Plattsburgh Town Historian Jerry Bates deftly side-stepped the issue. Ò We believe that this is a doable target. We know as a community that we can pull it together and do it,Ó he said.

The Friends are working with the Preservation League of New York State, and have secured placement of the Barracks on the Seven to Save list, a list of seven properties given preservation priority. Ò ItÕ s one of seven sites across that state that the preservation league will focus on as it rallies around the preservation of this great structure,Ó said Erin Tobin, Regional Director of Technology and Grant Programs for the Preservation League of New York State. Ò ItÕ s been a long four years, but in preservation terms that is a nanosecond, because these efforts usually take decades.Ó The Preservation League will help the Friends locate and secure grants, and help with their fundraising efforts over the next several months.

Once they raise the money to purchase the Barracks, the Friends will entertain ideas of how best to use the structure. Ideas ranging from a museum to a craft brewery and bed-and-breakfast were floated by Bates. Ò We are just now coming to grips with the fact that he is selling the building. We just havenÕ t had an opportunity to put together a coherent plan up to this point.Ó More information on the Old Stone Barracks, and the effort to raise funds to save it, can be found at www.oldstonebarracks.org.

Plattsburgh’s Old Stone Barracks

Neil Sutcliffe From page 1

Ò IÕ m going for it, why not,Ó he said. Ò ThatÕ s why I built this. ItÕ s for the children.Ó Foot Golf is played like regular golf, utilizing a combination of power drives and finesse shots to the pin. The combination of disciplines makes it excellent training for young soccer players. Being near Chazy, the Mecca for soccer in the North Country, Sutcliffe is hopeful that his endeavor catches on.

SutcliffeÕ s course, which is still open for gold alongside currently 6 Foot Gold holes, operates on the honor-system for payment. His core players are children playing soccer, and retirees playing golf.

“I just want people to come and have fun. I don’t know how many people have six hours any more in their life to play a round of golf. Here, if you do it right, you can do it (play a round) over lunch.Ó For more information on SutcliffeÕ s foot-golf and reception center, look up their Facebook page, Sun E Hill Golf and Event Center, or call Sutcliffe at 846-8192 for event planning.
