Health dept. stresses holiday safety

PLATTSBURGH Ñ There is a certain new feeling of acknowledgement for the service and sacrifice of veterans in the North Country, but the VeteransÕ Park in Plattsburgh doesnÕ t seem to be benefitting from it.

Dedicated on Memorial Day in 2006, the park, situated on the south end of the old base oval, is a place to memorialize past or present military service members by dedicating a brick to their honor. Members of the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 179 (DAV), who oversee the park, think that there might be some confusion as to who can be honored at the park. Ò If they had the uniform on, they are a veteran,Ó said Korean War veteran and DAV member Paul Dumas.

Greg Lee, a Vietnam War veteran who also helps oversee the park, says that many people think that they can only buy bricks for deceased military members, or those who were POWs or who earned Purple Hearts. Anyone who served or is currently serving, he says, can have a brick purchased for them.

Some people have bought blocks of bricks for a whole fam CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

North Country gives Danny Kaifetz long overdue honors

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — This Sunday, North Country Honor Flight founder Danny Kaifetz was honored by numerous World War II veterans and a who’s who of the North Country for his dedication and devotion to the cause of World War II veterans.

Speakers at the event included New York State Assemblywoman Janet Duprey and Plattsburgh Mayor Jim Calnon. Ò I feel so wonderfully privileged and honored to have been a part of this beautiful day,” said Duprey. “I participate in dozens, perhaps hundreds, of events each year, and I canÕ t think of a single one that has been more sincere and from the heart than the tribute to Danny this afternoon.”

Kaifetz was awarded the United States Marine Corps Meritorious Service Medal, the key to the city of Plattsburgh from Mayor Calnon, a Marine Corps hat from Sheriff Richard Cutting, a USMC veteran, a New York State Trooper patch from Major Richard Smith, a Commendation from the House of Representatives, Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from Congressman Bill Owens, New York State Assembly Citation from Assemblywoman Janet L. Duprey, and State of New York Executive Chamber Certificate of Appreciation from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo.

Of all his awards, a visibly moved Kaifetz said that closest to his heart was a note from USMC World War II Veteran Merwin I. Cowles, which read “We want to thank the man who did so much for the World War II vets. He made us exist again, and we are all honored to have him as our friend. Thank you Danny.”

“Today confirmed for me, I do not just respect and admire these veterans, I love them. That was very obvious on every level to all present today,” said Kaifetz.

Kaifetz, too, is a USMC veteran.

The surprise event was organized by World War II veteran Joe Demarco and Vietnam veteran Dave Andrews, among a host of

“After flying 96 World War II veterans to their memorial it was time to honor another hero, Honor Flight founder Danny Kaifetz. In other chapters around the country, the veterans go to the memorial, and the day ends there. Danny has brought together a

group of North Country vets who consider themselves a family, and often get together as a group for golf outings, dinners, and birthday parties. Danny’s leadership made all of that possible.

The honors bestowed on him were certainly well deserved,Ó said Andrews.

Health department gears up for holiday safety at home

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Clinton County Health Department’s Health Neighborhoods Program stresses home safety year-round, but never more so than at Christmas time.

From decorations to meals, Director Mary Ann Barto says that the holidays are filled with added dangers.

“Christmas trees are especially dangerous,” said Barto. Ò They should be freshly cut, and should always be away from heat sources. And they should be watered daily.”

Electrical fires account for a large percentage of Christmas tragedies, she says, and care should be taken in inspecting Christmas lights for fraying as well as not overloading outlets, she said.

Another area where people suffer injuries this time of year is in falls, especially from ladders while setting up Christmas lights.

Barto says that she and Kendra Gertsch, also from the Healthy Neighborhoods Program, offer year-round residential assessments for home safety and have resources for helping to rectify safety concerns. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors,

Santa to visit American Legion

DANNEMORA — Town of Dannemora and Friends present a visit from Santa Sunday, Dec. 21, at Lyon Mountain American Legion Post #1623 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served including pizza and homemade goodies. This is a Community wide event open to all ages both young and old.

Gertsch says, are the biggest culprits in unsafe homes.

Aside from the holidays, North Country winters are synonymous for house fires, but many say Barto and Gertsch can be avoided by avoiding some obvious dangers.

“Heating safety is huge,” Barto says. “People are looking for supplemental heat and theyÕ re overloading their outlets, or they’re bringing in space heaters not designed for inside use.

It’s a very dangerous time of the year.”

But even in a house with up to date safety equipment and safe heating, Gertsch says that Ò smoke detectors and child safety products are not a substitute for good parental supervision.”

A 30 - 45 minute home safety assessment can be scheduled through the Healthy Neighborhoods Program by calling the Health Department at 565-4870.

The Burgh Editorial

Publisher’s Column

n these waning weeks of 2014, the U.S. news media has been consumed by its 24/7 coverage of racial strife, including Missouri riots and New York protests over alleged police brutality and the deaths of two black citizens. And just as the gloom of our nation’s failed foreign policy, its immigration and health care debacles, come home to roost and promise to turn 2014 into one of the worst years since—well—1968, a government agency, of all things, comes to our rescue and pulls America’s wounded pride from the fire yet again.

As you may recall, NASA’s space efforts not only saved 1968, but it seems to have also come to the rescue of this lamentable year 2014.

The U.S. space agency—one of the few shining jewels in remaining in our national crown—demonstrated, with the amazing test flight of the new Orion spacecraft Dec. 5, that all our ugly tribal infighting can be overcome when we rise above this petty planet and look up to the stars. And NASA managed to work it magic even with one hand tied behind its budgetary back.

All those ethnically diverse and smiling faces at NASA had their eyes on a prize much bigger than the earthly politics of division.

NASA’s young faces—which showed black, white, brown and yellow on the space agency’s TV network’s coverage of the Orion test flight mission—give me hope and a reason to believe that this nation is still great, and possibly the greatest, in spite of its leaders.

In the case of NASA’s new Orion spacecraft—which will someday take Americans to asteroids, the Moon and Mars—technical skills and the spirit of exploration, applied to a national goal, have an amazing way of uniting people.

Back in December 1968, after a year of heartbreaking Vietnam War casualties, increasing antiwar violence in the streets at home, and the tragic assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, it looked as though America’s best days were receding quickly in the rearview mirror.

The dark year of 1968 had reached its final month, when, along came NASA and the Apollo 8 mission.

Three astronauts not only orbited the Moon in December of that year, they also returned safely to Earth to cheers and parades. The feat of Apollo 8—the first piloted craft to orbit our cratered neighbor in space—galvanized the attention of the world.

When the Apollo astronauts returned home, they were greeted with cheers and tons of fan mail—all in the days before e-mail and social media.

Among the many fan messages was a congratulatory telegram sent to Apollo 8 astronaut Jim Lovell. The simple telegram was sent by a housewife named Valerie Pringle. ‘’You saved 1968,’’ she wrote.

PringleÕ s famous telegram spoke volumes about how a single event can inspire pride and hope in a national landscape strewn with bad news.

Sure, we’ll admit that 2014 isn’t quite as bad as 1968. Sure, NASA’s Dec. 5, 2014 test flight of the unmanned Orion spacecraft wasn’t as dramatic as Apollo 8, but it came close, even without a crew.

If you consider the political nonsense thrown in NASA’s path since the 1990s—everything from navel-gazing Earth-focused eco missions (violations of NASA’s founding space-focused mission statement) and buying Russian rocket engines (at the expense of U.S. made components) to American astronauts hitching rides aboard Soyuz capsules and the White HouseÕ s slick Ò all talk-and-noaction” space legerdemain—last week’s mission should have been an utter failure. Instead, it was a brilliant success.

At the moment of the Orion Test Flight’s launch, at 7:05 a.m. Dec. 5, the entire NASA-TV website crashed.

NASA reported that millions of viewers tuned in to view real news in the making—not a mindless rehashing (with hand wringing) of the week’s civil unrest and celebrity fondlings.

Not surprisingly, not a single TV network bothered to broadcast the Orion test. No matter, the crash of the NASA-TV showed that—despite what politicians and social critics tell us—millions of Americans remain very interested—and engaged—in the exploration of space.

Ok, it’s time to reboot Valerie Pringle’s December 1968 telegram. Thank you, NASA. You just saved 2014, too. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

PAVAROTTI DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR GREY TIGER ARRIVED 09/17/14 @ 3LBS @ THREE-MONTHS-OLD MALE ***IS NOW @ FOUR-MONTHS-OLD***

Pavarotti is aptly named... he is very vocal when he wants attention and will meow to get you to come pet him. He is one of a litter of four that was dropped off in a box outside of a concerned citizen’s home in the town of Peru. He is a lively young cat that loves to frolic around, play with all toys and other cats and loves to explore his surroundings. Ò PavÓ loves to get brushed and when he isn’t playing he enjoys lounging around and being pet by his people. Pavarotti will do best in a home where he will get plenty of attention and where he will get plenty of exercise. He is now current on age appropriate vaccinations, has tested negative for FeLV/FIV and heart worm and will be able to go home after he is neutered later this week. Come in and meet this wonderfully entertaining and loving kitten that would love to be a part of your family!

Diesel is a gorgeous dog that was found running at large in the town of Dannemora. He is a sweet boy who bonds very quickly and yearns to please his people. When he first arrived at Elmore SPCA he was very scared and unsure of himself. Diesel quickly warmed up to the staff and then the volunteers. He loves to be played with and he loves to go on walks. This young dog can sit, lay down and give paw on command. Diesel is cat and dog aggressive, so he needs to be the only pet in the home. Come in and meet this great dog who is ready to find his forever home. Diesel is now neutered, current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heart worm and is waiting to meet his new family. Diesel is a very smart and active dog that needs physical and mental exercise. He will need a home where he will get plenty of leadership, love and training.

Fat Guys in the Woods!

I

Gardens of Eden

I

went out to Western NY for my annual deer hunting trip this year, only to have the weather reduce the trip to hours of travel time. Opening day was snow and I mean the start of the storm in Buffalo. The deer were hunkered down and non-cooperative for the first two days into the season, and then the big snow came.

I made the decision to leave the camp early due to the forecast of five feet of snow or more.

I traveled up to my brotherÕ s home and he said the forecast was for the wind pattern to slowly move south, blanketing his town with an expected three or four feet.

Hoping to see my family before I left was now out of the question. The snow was already too deep and the roads closed except for emergency traffic. So, the decision was made to beat feet out of there and try and get around the storm and get home. Heading back towards the Pennsylvania line and then traveling east in the Southern Tier of NY, I was skirting the storm.

After eleven and one half hours, I finally made it home to Moriah; a road burnout, goo goo eyes and all!

Checking in with everyone was now the goal.

The land line was now our form of communication. I would go back if they needed help like a generator, water pump or whatever, to help out.

I had to wait until the emergency was over and they allowed people back on the roads.

Thankfully, the snow melted slowly and did no damage. There was very little flooding, cellar pump outs or water damage. The family was trapped in their homes for four or five days, with shoveling 5 to 7 feet of snow out of the drive as the chore of the week.

The snow disappeared almost as fast as it came. I had to go back for a funeral this past week in Ontario, Canada and saw the green grass of Hamburg, NY. Seven feet of snow was reduced to a few piles along the roads or where they stockpiled the snow during the removal process.

Most of the snow was gone but what was left behind was a demonstration of the power and weight of snow. Over 20 commercial buildings crushed under the weight of the snow.

On my way through the area, I drove along route 62, in the Town of Eden, where I once lived. Eden is the center of agriculture in Erie County. Cabbages; broccoli, vegetables and sweet corn are all grown there by the ton.

Greenhouses and farmers markets line the town roads with fantastic deals for buying local foods. Sausages, meats, fruits and vegetables are all on sale, when in season to those who ap-

preciate quality foods.

For EdenÕ s agriculture it was a big hit.

Green houses and high tunnels made of glass and plastic were squashed by the weight of the wet

By Rich Redman snow. Those green houses that were lined up next to each other to save space really took the hit. They were leveled. The weight of the snow on the top and pressure on the sides was too much. It brought them down.

Compacted greenhouses do not grow fruits and vegetables. Many had crops growing in them to supply markets with fresh spinach and other greens for winter use. They were also destroyed.

The Western New York farmers and their “Gardens of Eden” encountered natures wrath.

A Farmers livelihood depends on growing food for all of us, so the next time you drive by a farmers market, stop and buy some locally grown food. That spinach or other greens you are getting today may have been grown out in Western NY, or just down the road. It doesn’t matter. All of New York is local to me. I have lived, visited, hunted and fished all over the state and can call many places home.

From Tonawanda NY where the General Motors engine plant is, to Hamburg, with the Ford stamping plant, to EdenÕ s gardens all the way across the state to Washington County Dairy farms, to Clinton CountyÕ s Macintosh and Cortland Apple Orchards; they are all part of our lives, so buy local.

The farmers in Western NY will go on. Crops will be planted and harvested for you to enjoy. We all need to remember; we can buy local foods or get imported foods from foreign countries that donÕ t have the same regulations as we do. It’s a choice that affects lives.

DonÕ t ya love those stickers that say buy local when they are slapped on the bumper of a Subaru, Honda, VW or Toyota? Get real!

Conservation

Conversations

recently watched an episode of Ò Fat Guys in the WoodsÓ , a new reality show which features a group of three or four amateur woodsman roughing it in the forested mountains of Tennessee.

The premise of the show is obviously entertainment, as it allows viewers to witness the hardships of four inexperienced outdoorsmen who endure a host of difficulties as they attempt to survive for three days in the woods without any food, water, shelter or fire.

Of course, the reality of the survival experience comes immediately into question when you realize they are wired for sound and filmed from every angle.

Despite alot of talk about hunting and trapping wild critters for food, the end result of most of these efforts is usually a quick snack of slugs, bugs, a frog or some berries.

Although the program does occasionally offer some solid information on the development of survival skills, the majority of their time is consumed with building shelters, attempting to start a fire or working on nonessential skills such as weaving cordage for unspecified use.

However, it is the development of primitive skills that should be a key element of every outdoor traveler’s bag of tricks.

Honing survival skills and a comprehensive knowledge of the outdoors has largely become a lost art, especially in this day and age of ‘instant everything’.

ItÕ s been estimated that less than one in a hundred adults currently know how to kindle a fire, secure potable water or establish the direction of true north without a compass.

I guess it shouldnÕ t be much of a surprise, as we have come to a point in history where such knowledge no longer considered important. A cell phone is likely the only survival tool most travelers consider necessary today.

However, there was a time when such skills and knowledge was essential for an individualÕ s daily survival. It was a time before The Weather Channel provided instant weather updates, and the average traveler actually knew how to read the natural signs.

In the timeframe of 1880’s through the early 1900’s, there were over a hundred woodsman’s manuals penned by the likes of Bradford Angier, Horace Kephart, Elmer Kreps, George Washington Sears (Nessmunk), Ellsworth Jaeger, and Ernest Thompson Seton among others.

A majority of these publications were devoted to the skills necessary to get by in a northern woodland setting, although several of the authors also dealt with cold weather camping.

A list of the most popular titles would have to include Ò Camping and WoodcraftÓ by Horace Kephart, Ò Woodcraft and CampingÓ by George Washington Sears, Ò Camping OutÓ by Warren Miller, Ò The ForestÓ by Stewart Edward White, Ò Camp and TrailÓ by Stewart Edward White, Ò TrailcraftÓ by Claude Fordyce Ò Touring AfootÓ by Claude Fordyce, Ò WoodcraftÓ by Elmer Kreps, and In Camp-Lore and Woodcraft by Umcle Dan Beard The origin of the term ‘primitive’ comes from prime – meaning first. The foundation of modern man’s ‘first skills’ were likely refining tools and techniques for cutting, trapping and eventually, for controlling fire.

Fire making remains among the most useful of all outdoor skills, and it is an essential tool to have in any one’s bag of tricks.

A simple fire will get a traveler through tougher times than any other single skill. Fires provide warmth, light, visibility, heat, protection, and comfort. Fire keeps the mind from wandering, and focused on the present. It keeps a person busy.

Despite a constant need for improvements, and the advent of new technologies and materials, there will always be a need for mankind to look back. Maybe it is just simple nostalgia, or a yearning for days long since past.

But, whatever the case, there is no doubt that mankind retains a deep seated need for rough settings in natural surrounding.

I suppose it was the great naturalist, John Muir who explained it best, when he claimed, “Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we all came from the woods originally.”

ItÕ s interesting to note the wide variety of topics and skills offered in these early publications which ranged from camp construction, to fire building, cooking, hunting, fishing and trapping.

The necessities of food, water and shelter were given heavy play, while there was little mention of the necessity of simple play.

By and large, the manuals were penned in a very serious matter, as survival was not to be taken lightly.

As part of my ongoing effort to introduce the next generation of outdoor travelers to the ways of the woods, I often provide them with a full day of skills development which includes shelter building, fire starting, and the essential elements of land navigation. We also work on track identification, fishing techniques and collecting wild edibles.

There is a particular satisfaction that comes with knowing you possess the skills and knowledge necessary to get by in the woods. And with this knowledge, comes confidence and comfort.

Having the skills necessary to start a fire can be the difference between a simple adventure and a tragic incident.

Fish trap expected to pay dividends for salmon fishery A significant upgrade at the Ed Weed Fish Culture Station in Grand Isle is expected to pay dividends for the health of the salmon population in Lake Champlain.

Recently, hatchery staff, fisheries biologists and other officials from the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department teamed up to construct a fish trap on Hatchery Brook, the station’s discharge stream. The trap will improve the collection process for adult salmon during their spawning run into the brook.

After being collected, the adult salmon are used to reproduce and provide fertilized eggs for the stateÕ s Ed Weed Fish Culture Station, where the eggs are hatched and young salmon are reared before being returned to Lake Champlain.

“Being able to collect fish in a safe, efficient and effective way for both staff and salmon is key to our overall fisheries management plan,” said Adam Miller, fish culture operations chief with Vermont Fish & Wildlife.

Former methods used to collect salmon involved more handling and stress on fish, and were less efficient for hatchery staff and biologists.

Lighting a fire with a spark from flint and steel is a very satisfying experience. Cooking healthy sized trout fillets over the coals of the same fire is even more rewarding.

Erin Hamlin silver; US Relay Team takes bronze; USA scores gold-silver-bronze weekend in luge Best World Cup weekend since ‘92

LAKE PLACID Ñ A silver medal from Erin Hamlin Saturday started the day and a bronze medal later in the team relay – including Hamlin – capped a gold-silver-bronze World Cup weekend for USA Luge on its home track on Mount Van Hoevenberg.

Hamlin, the 2014 Olympic bronze medalist, has six World Cup luge bronze medals that followed a World Championship among her credentials. Today’s race achieved a high-water mark for the Remsen, N.Y. racer on the annual World Cup tour as she clinched a silver medal in steady snowfall. Ò It would have been nice to capitalize on home ice a little bit better,” said Hamlin. “My runs weren’t perfect. I had a couple of mistakes that were kind of a bummer, but what can you do?”

Teammates Emily Sweeney and Summer Britcher had their top World Cup career results, placing fifth and sixth, respectively. The U.S. field was completed with an eighth place performance by 2010 Olympian Julia Clukey of Augusta, Maine. Only Americans and Germans occupied the top eight positions.

“The runs today were pretty good,” said Sweeney, the 2013 Junior World Champion, who was close to qualifying for the 2010 and 2014 Olympic teams. “I had a little skid up top. So I knew I had some time in there. The second run I fixed my start and I’m happy with it. I had two solid runs. Hopefully I’ll keep the momentum going.”

In the afternoon, Hamlin joined Friday singles winner Tucker West and the doubles team of Matt Mortensen and Jayson Terdiman for the bronze medal in the team relay behind Germany and Italy. It was the first World Cup medal for the new U.S. doubles unit.

The snowy, warmer weather gave the athletes a slower track.

However it was not devoid of excitement for the avid U.S. fans, many of them coming from the hamlet of Remsen to support their beloved Hamlin. Ò I was a little nervous because I had a late bib draw being second to last,” stated Hamlin. “The warmer temperatures and damp air made the track grippier. On home ice I’d like it to be hard and fast to make it harder for the other people.”

In the 22-racer field, Hamlin drew start number 21, not advantageous in the conditions. And when the three-time Olympian faltered from the handles into the initial turns, it looked like all hope of a medal was dashed. But the six-time Norton National Champion showed her considerable driving skills, as she blitzed her way into second place at the intermission behind German Olympic champion Natalie Geisenberger, and in front of third

annual tree lighting. Ò IÕ m very proud that First Weekends was able to help revive this tradition and was extremely excited to be working with the other organizations to make this event such a great success for its second season,Ó said First WeekendsÕ Vice President Leigh Carter.

Local musicians Haley McGivney and Taylor LaValley provided acoustic music before and after the Tree Lighting and carriage rides were provided free of charge by Country Dreams Farm.

Hot chocolate was provided for free by Smooth Moves.

The tree lighting also marks the end of the season for First Weekends. While planning for next summer, First Weekends will continue to fund raise throughout the winter and spring. Ò While we take a short hiatus to plan for the summer events in 2015. We hope everyone will remember that the arts are alive and well in Plattsburgh and can swing into the ROTA Gallery, Strand Center for the Arts, and 30 City to see some wonderful artwork,Ò said McCormick.

Anyone interested in joining the crew of First Weekends for the upcoming season can find them on Facebook at First Weekends in Plattsburgh.

place Tatyana Huefner, also of Germany.

Ironically, it was the exact same standing after one heat in Sochi when Hamlin went on to take the bronze. In the final run, Hamlin again struggled from the get-go, started slowly, and then drove herself to the silver medal ahead of Huefner.

“In the first run, the bottom three-quarters of the track went really well,” remarked Hamlin. “In the training that was the worst and the top was better. The first few curves in the first run were pretty terrible. But I know how to get down this track in many situations so that was to my benefit. The experience I have here really helped.”

Geisenberger, the current World Cup overall leader with 300 points, had times of 44.036 and 44.137 seconds, totaling1 minute, 28.173 seconds. Hamlin’s silver medal time was 1:28.672, with

Huefner next in 1:28.822.

Hamlin is fifth on the year with 186 overall World Cup points.

Sweeney, of Suffield, Conn. registered 1:28.951; Britcher, of Glen Rock, Pa. clocked 1:28.961; Clukey’s time was 1:29.330.

They are 6th, 10th and 11th, respectively, in the overall rankings.

Germany topped the seven team relay field in the discipline’s first race of the season and 25th since its official World Cup inception. The event uses the women and doubles start height for all athletes, as well as a reaction start with gate at the handles for men’s singles and doubles.

Geisenberger, two-time Olympic gold medalist Felix Loch and the doubles team of Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken, winners in doubles 24 hours earlier, collaborated for a time of 2:34.886.

Italy clocked 2:35.546, followed by the U.S. with 2:35.638. Ò For this race, for sure I wanted a medal,Ó said Mortensen, of Huntington Station, N.Y. “It’s our home track. We’re all fast in our own respective disciplines. So absolutely….that was the goal for this race.”

“No question about it,” added Terdiman, of Berwick, Pa. “We wanted a medal. Anytime you get a medal itÕ s a good feeling. This is our first World Cup medal.”

West followed Hamlin in the American Ò batting orderÓ and had a run that equaled what he did in winning on Friday.

WestÕ s heat set the table for Mortensen and Terdiman.

“My run was great,” exclaimed West. “Everything kind of fell together. The womenÕ s start was a little slower so it’s nice to slow things down.

Everything was pretty smooth and I really enjoyed the run.”

For Hamlin it was her 13th major international medal.

The team now moves on to the third World Cup meet of the winter on Dec. 12-13 in Calgary, Alberta.

write a poem for a service member.

QUIET REFLECTION The park is used for numerous ceremonies throughout the year, including Memorial Day, VeteransÕ Day and as a send-off location for Honor Flights, but Lee says it means more to people than just that. He often sees people in the evening sitting on one

www.the-burgh.com of the park’s benches, quietly reflecting on a loved one.

When the current ring of bricks is completed, the plan is to move out and start another concentric circle of bricks, as more service members’ names are added. The DAV is also actively looking for military Ò hardwareÓ such as a decommissioned tank or canon to situate on the site.

HISTORIC LOCATION DAV Commander Gary Hamel points out that the park is situated on the top of one of the original three forts that defended

Plattsburgh during the 1814 Battle of Plattsburgh: Fort Moreau.

“It’s the proper place for it (the park).

There is no better place for it than on the site of one of the original forts,” he said.

Bricks can be purchased through the DAV for $50, and have room for three, 14 character lines, including spaces. Those interested in learning more about the park or purchasing a stone can contact Gary Hamel at 643-9781, Greg Lee at 570-7253 or Paul Dumas at 562-4042.

NCCS graduate’s sports journey to a national championship

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com After four seasons playing varsity high school soccer for the Northeastern Clinton Cougars in Champlain, Molly Roush saw herself playing at the next level for St. Michael’s College across Lake Champlain in Colchester, VT. Two years later, the Rouses Point native has a different story to tell.

In the first week of December, Roush found herself in Louisville, K.Y., just days away from competing in the NCAA Division II National Championship—in cross country. Ò It still hasnÕ t sunk in that IÕ m actually here and doing this,Ó said Roush three days before the race. “When I got to St. Mike’s, I was going to play soccer and it had been something IÕ d done for my entire life, basically.”

CHANGE OF PACE Soon after arriving at the liberal arts college near Burlington, the now-sophomore found out how big of a time commitment the sport would be and wanted to focus instead on academics. Schoolwork took priority and Roush opted out of soccer.

St. Michael’s cross country coach Molly Peters heard of Roush’s decision and soon after reached out to the athlete. By the time spring arrived, Roush got back to Peters and the connection was made.

Cross country’s flexible training and practice schedule allowed Roush to get back into scholastic competition while still being able to balance sports and academics.

It’s seems to be a good fit: Roush and the other six harriers competing in the national championship have GPA’s of 3.50 or higher.

Peters said it isnÕ t unusual for soccer players to make the transition to cross country. Of the seven who traveled to the championship meet in Kentucky, three have a soccer background.

“It happens a lot at St. Mike’s,” explained Peters. “It doesn’t have a track program so itÕ s pretty hard to recruit some of those hardcore runners because most of them, when they go to school, want to do cross country and track. “(Soccer players) have a good base,” she continued. “They have to work on the endurance, learning how to sustain the right pace for the race.”

The coach had be cautious with Roush early on because she hadnÕ t done cross country mileage over the summer, and come fall, Roush had to alternate between running and biking because of shin splints.

“It’s common for the jump into the high mileage,” explained Peters.

Roush said the problem dates back to running track and, although the problem came back, it hasn’t been bothering her lately.

This fall season was, after all, her first on a team since winter of her senior year in high school.

Despite nearly two-year absence from sports, Roush had plenty of sports experience to build upon.

‘EXCEPTIONAL ATHLETE’ Though cross country was new to RoushÑ the sport takes place at the same time of the year as soccerÑ the athleticism it requires wasn’t.

The then-Cougar had a stellar soccer career after joining the varsity team as a freshman, a sport that requires 80 minutes or more of endurance. Ò IÕ m not surprised that she switched,Ó said Tim Surprenant, the Northeastern Clinton girls’ varsity soccer head coach. “There have been many people that have tried to convince her to join the cross country team, but she always loved to play soccer. Many coaches have said she was a natural runner and would excel on a cross country team.”

Roush also played two years of basketball and competed in varsity track from seventh grade through her junior year. During that time, she set four school records that still stand today in the 200, 400, 800 and 1,500 meter races. Her 57.87 time in the 400 was good for fifth in New York in the 2012 state championship while her 27.33 mark in the 200 placed fifth in the 2012 Hudson Falls Invite.

“She was an exceptional athlete with a tremendous work ethic,” said Surprenant, who explained that Roush excelled on both the field and in the classroom. “Anything she did, she did to the best of her ability.”

Despite the strong track and field background, Roush most likely hasn’t met her cross country ceiling.

“The track is flat the whole time and I’m not used to running hills,” laughed Roush. “It’s something I’m getting used to and enjoying.”

Not only can cross country courses be hilly, but at the collegiate level the races run five to six kilometers.

ThereÕ s also the mental component of cross country running thatÕ s different from other sports, especially those like soccer or basketball.

While running at a high speed over a long distance without distraction can be difficult for some, Roush said cross country can be relaxing. Ò The only thing I have to worry about is how my body feels,Ó said Roush. “It’s a completely different mindset for me than the team sports. You just run.”

Roush was her team’s fifth finisher three times this year and added three more finishes in sixth to help the St. Michael’s cross country

team to its first ever appearance in the NCAA championship.

The team qualified by finishing third out of 31 schools in the Nov. 22 NCAA East Regional Championship in Nashua, N.H., and sent its top seven runners to Louisville.

St. Michael’s senior Chloe Boutelle led the charge in the meet, finishing fourth overall at 21:52.7. Roush’s 23:44.0 was good for 57th, ahead of 128 other runners.

CHAMPIONSHIP AND BEYOND Prior to the Dec. 6 championship meet, Roush said she expected a very competitive race, but was excited for the opportunity to support the seniors on the team as well as help the group to some exposure for its accomplishment.

Once race day arrived, the team faced the added challenges of cold, wind and a muddy, chewed-up course from the menÕ s race the previous day.

St. Michael’s finished the meet 30th among 32 teams. The first four Purple Knights to cross the finish line were all seniors—Chloe Boutelle, Lindy Heffernan, Colleen Gilliatt and Allie GrattonÑ followed by Roush, who in fifth earned points for her team and helped them edge out 31st-place University of North Georgia.

She ran the 5.78 kilometer course in 25:38.9, two seconds and one place behind teammate Gratton, to finish in 237th place.

“It was really great,” said Roush. “We all discussed how we were just happy to be able to run with the top runners in the country. It shows how hard we worked all through the season.”

Now, with the championship experience behind the team, the next generation of St. Michael’s runners will look much different.

When Peters was asked how she sees Roush performing on the cross country team in the future, the coach laughed. Ò She actually is my future,” said Peters.

With the top four runners on the team set to graduate and another member planning to study abroad next fall, Roush may very well be its top returning runner in 2015 after just one season.

“It definitely adds a little bit of pressure,” said Roush, “but I really enjoyed running cross country and it will be a little easier for me to start earlier next season.”

With a much different looking group next season, a return trip to the national stage may be less likely for St. Michael’s, but it doesn’t mean this fall was RoushÕ s only chance to represent her school against the nation’s top Division II runners.

Peters said that even if the team doesnÕ t qualify for a return trip, she can see Roush qualifying as an individual runner for the final race. Ò I canÕ t wait to see what Molly does by her senior year,Ó said Peters. “She’s talented. I don’t think she has any idea how good she is.”
