PERU — The people behind Rulfs Orchard have plans for an event they hope won’t happen only in a blue moon.

The Bear Swamp Road orchard will host its first Full Moon Festival this Saturday, Jan. 30, as a way to celebrate this weekend’s full moon and show there are family-oriented activities out there during those usually long North Country winters.

Patti Sheehan, co-owner and store manager, said the festival is actually part of an effort more than 10 years in the making.

Fourth-grader holds collection drive for Mission of Hope

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com SARANAC — When the Saranac Teachers Association sponsored a “Jeans for Teens” drive last November, Jacob Islas was inspired.

The Saranac Elementary School fourth-grader, motivated by the community effort, began thinking of ways he could help others. Then, through the

encouragement of his mother, Janice Islas, Jacob developed a plan to help the North Country Mission of Hope. Jacob’s mother and aunt are supporters of the nonprofit organization, which has worked to build shelters, distribute food and provide clean water to Nicaragua, which was devastated by Hurricane Mitch more than 10 years ago.

“We’ve been trying to get cross-country ski trails set up here for a long time for people to come in with their families on the weekend and ski around the orchard,” said Sheehan.

“We’ve actually been wanting to do it since before the [1998] ice storm, and then the ice storm came along and we put it on the back burner.”

Just as the stars seem to be in alignment for the festival finally getting off the ground, the moon will be in the right alignment to be enjoyed by all Saturday night, said Sheehan. The only thing she hopes for is more snow, she said.

Hannah’s Hope Fund nearing $500,000 challenge Weekend benefits are expected to put organization over its goal, organizers say

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com REXFORD — It’s down to the wire, but it looks like Hannah’s Hope Fund will meet a challenge to raise $500,000 in six months.

The nonprofit organization — whose mission is to eradicate a rare neurological disorder known as giant axonal neuropathy — was charged with the task of raising the money as part of a dollar for dollar matching grant challenge from the Sunshine Lady Foundation in Wilmington, N.C. The private family foundation, established by philanthropist Doris Buffett, sister of billionaire Warren Buffett, has given Hannah’s Hope Fund until Monday, Feb. 15.

Saranac resident Carrie Favaro, aunt of Hannah Sames, the girl for whom Hannah’s Hope Fund is named, said support has been “tremendous” since the challenge was announced.

“The support from the North Country, once again, has been tremendous,” said Favaro. “We’re in awe.”

Most recently, Favaro said she was out for dinner with friends at Arnie’s Restaurant in downtown Plattsburgh and had a memorable encounter with one of the waitresses at the establishment.

“When it was time for us to leave she brought over an envelope filled with her tips and told us to take it and get it doubled,” said Favaro. “It was amazing.”

Though Hannah lives in the Schenectady suburb of Rexford, her ties to the area through her aunt and parents, Matt and Lori Sames — who are originally from the Plattsburgh area — have been strong enough to garner her major support.

Already, Hannah’s Hope Fund has raised the majority of its $500,000 goal.

However, events planned this weekend are expected to help the organization meet and exceed the goal.

“We’re not there yet,” said Favaro, “but we’re well on our way to reach the half-million dollar mark.”

This Saturday, Jan. 30, American Legion Post 1619 in West Plattsburgh will host a Texas Hold ‘em tournament to help Hannah’s Hope Fund reach that mark, said Favaro. The tournament, which will begin at 4 p.m., will be limited to 125 players, with a $60 entry fee per person. The entry fee will include a full buffet and prizes

raffles.

Take-outs for the dinner may be arranged by calling 594-7052 the day of the event.

Though Hannah’s Hope Fund is nearing its goal, the work of the organization to find a cure for GAN is far from over, said Favaro.

“That’s not the end of the road for us,” she said. “The expense of the clinical trial and treatment of kids and everything — we’re looking at another $2.5 million.”

“Even though we’re so thankful we’re reaching this milestone, the journey will continue,” she added.

“We were just getting a good old snow squall and were hoping it was going to continue and now it’s gone,” said Sheehan, laughing.

“We’re hoping we’ll have snow so people can bring their snowshoes or crosscountry skis to go down to the bonfire we’ll be having, but if we don’t have the snow, people can take a wagon ride down or walk.”

Whether or not Mother Nature provides the snow, Sheehan said there will still be plenty to do — and eat and drink.

“We’re going to have hot dogs, doughnuts, hot cider, hot chocolate,” she said.

“We’re just hoping for a good turnout because some people still think we’re closed in the winter.”

Beekmantown Central hosting production of ‘Pippin’

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — The Beekmantown High School Drama Club will take the stage this weekend with its production of the Broadway musical “Pippin.”

Director Jacqueline Robertin said she is excited about this weekend’s production, remarking the students “have worked very hard” since rehearsals began in November.

“This cast has just gone above and beyond anything anyone could have expected,” said Robertin.

The students were challenged with intricate choreography and musical numbers, but Pippin proved to be a production they could do — and do well, said Robertin.

“There are some beautiful harmonies in the music which took some time to learn, but once they learned the power they needed behind each song, they sang together beautifully,” said Robertin. “I think they were challenged on every level and they’ve risen to meet the challenge.”

Pippin is the story of a young man trying to find his place in the world, Robertin explained, and throughout the show he goes through different experiences in order to find where he fits.

“The players that exist in the show are always trying to guide him towards what they want,” said Robertin. “They serve as sort of the voice in the back of his head and they’re sometimes convincing him to do what he doesn’t feel is right.”

The play involves Pippin, played by Andrew Peryer, breaking away from what others want and finding his own path, said

Robertin.

“I love this show primarily because of its music,” she said. “And, the characters in the show are so well-written and so hilarious.”

Though Pippin is primarily a “very funny story about the journey of one young man,”

said Robertin, with Pippin, there are no small parts.

“The way the show is written is as an ensemble cast to emphasize everyone’s importance,” she said. “And, whenever somebody was missing from rehearsal, they always

Informational conference for EMTs, first responders to be held Saturday

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Clinton County EMS Association will sponsor its second annual Patient’s with Special Needs Conference this Saturday, Jan. 30, at the Clinton County Office of Emergency Service, 16 Emergency Services Drive.

The conference is designed for emergency medical technicians and first responders in the local area, said association vice president Kent Faus, and is believed to be the only conference of its type outside of New York City.

“Our goal is to touch on patient’s we

networking between EMS agencies, counties and several local businesses, vendors and associations,” he said.

Faus added he expects between 4060 EMTs to attend from areas including Plattsburgh, Malone, Ticonderoga and Montreal.

The conference has been free for two years, said Faus, thanks to the members of the Clinton County EMS Association. Lunch is also provided.

The association provides continuing education hours, which are needed by many responders, Faus noted.

Those interested in more information or attending the conference may contact Faus at 293-1469.

deal with occasionally, but not on a consistent basis,” said Faus. “Then, when we’re called, we must try to recall the specific training we’ve received, if any, for this particular type patient.”

The conference will feature six different speakers talking about topics which include care for patients with traumatic brain injuries, cystic fibrosis, dialysis, and those who are developmentally-disabled. Lectures will last from 40-70 minutes, with breaks in between, said Faus. During the breaks, tables are set up where participants can go for more information associated with the speakers presented.

knew. It would always affect them in some way or another.”

In addition to Peryer, the cast of Pippin consists of Minh Coryer as Charles, Tim Kashorek as Lewis, Stephanie LaPointe as Fastrada, Sarah Lattrelle as Berthe, Lauren Grinberg-Funes as Catherine and James Paolicelli as Theo. The role of Leading Player has been split between sisters Cherie Passno and Shannon Passno.

Featured Players are Mike LaClair, Holly Paolicelli, LilyAnne Styles and Ashlyn Marsh. Players are Jerry Senecal, Shawn Ko, Jamie O’Connell, Matt LaClair, Kira Miller and Royce Brunelle.

The production will be performed in a “black box style” in which there is no traditional set on stage, only pieces that set the theme of the scene, said Robertin.

“A table, for example, represents Catherine’s house and a throne represents the king’s chambers,” she explained. “I like doing the black box style because it really emphasize the actors themselves and makes them pop out more. The audience has no choice but to look at them because there’s nothing else on stage.”

Robertin said she feels the actors will stand out, regardless, because of their acting and singing abilities.

“They’re just absolutely fantastic,” she said of the cast. “They’re a great bunch of kids to work with and they are all very willing and excited and motivated to do well.”

Pippin will be performed in the auditorium of Beekmantown High School, 37 Eagle Way, at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 29, and Saturday, Jan. 30. An afternoon showing will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 31.

Emergency training set for Feb. 5 PLATTSBURGH — The Clinton County Office of Emergency Services and the Clinton County Local Emergency Planning Committee will sponsor a seminar Friday, Feb. 5, at the agency’s building located at 16 Emergency Services Drive.

The seminar, which will be held from 10:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., will focus on SARA Title III, Tier II reporting and the use of the EPA “E-Plan” system for Tier II reporting in Clinton

County.

The session is being offered primarily for business and industry officials but is also open to first responders to gain knowledge on the reporting program.

There is no cost to participate. Pre-registration is required by Monday, Feb. 1.

For more information or to register, contact Wendy Plympton at 565-4791, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Adirondack Humane Society

ike many people, I received state and federal tax-prep packages via snail mail for years and looked forward to the upcoming preparation session with a level of fondness reserved for, well, paying taxes. My usual practice was an immediate review of the “what’s new” section in hopes of a new deduction or credit with a simple explanation of who it applies to before stuffing the package away for safekeeping.

The simple explanation part was important because erring on the side of caution was my usual path if I was unsure of something. Many years I mailed in the tax returns wondering if Uncle Sam is keeping more of my hard earned dough than necessary.

With the tax prep software widely available today, I no longer feel that way. About five or six years ago after prepping the usual way with paper forms I went on-line and tried a Web-based product called Tax Act from 2nd Story Software.

The product offered completely free federal and state tax prep and required a payment only if I wanted to E-file. The process was relatively short and contributed an extra $300

to the Poland household that year due to college tuition expenses if memory serves. So I paid the under $20 fee, got a quick two-week refund due to E-filing, and never looked back using Tax Act exclusively since (on-line at www.taxact.com).

TurboTax is another service that has gained a following and, while I have never used it, I’m sure it works equally as well as Tax Act. The key to both services is the straight-forward questioning that allows the software to provide qualified deductions or credits for the user. It takes the frustration out of interpreting IRS instructions. The

If you own fully matured U.S. savings bonds, you are losing money on your investment. Each bond has a maturity date after which the government no longer pays interest. That date varies with the series of the bond and the date it was purchased.

According to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Treasury Direct Web site, www.treasurydirect.gov, the following savings bonds no longer earn interest: Series E bonds issued from May 1941 through October 1979; Series H bonds issued from June 1952 through October 1979; Series HH bonds issued from January 1980 through October 1989; Savings Notes issued May 1967 through October 1970; and all series A, B, C, D, F, G, J and K bonds.

If you find you have bonds that are no longer earning interest it is time to cash them in and reinvest your funds in

some other type of investment. Savings bonds can be redeemed at your local bank.

They can be redeemed by the person whose name is listed on the bond and who provides appropriate identification.

If you want to know how much your bonds are worth, the Treasury Direct Web site provides a Savings Bond Calculator with which you can determine the current value of any savings bond. You will need to enter the series type (E, EE, etc.), the denomination and the date the bond was issued. The Web site gives excellent directions on using the calculator. Treasury Direct also provides other information about your savings bonds, including directions to replace lost bonds.

Where do all those coupons come from?

Q

: “I have been following your column, and a lot of what you have discussed I have implemented. You often talk about the number of coupons you use. Where and how are you obtaining so many duplicate coupons? I know I can print out multiple copies on-line from some of the coupon Web sites.”

A: There are a few reasons I have a good amount of coupons available to me when a good sale comes along. I save all of my newspaper coupon inserts in their entirety each week. Many coupons often repeat every few weeks or months, especially for common items like cereal, bread, juice and personal care products. One of the most common myths about coupons is that they all expire quickly. But the truth is that most of them have, on average, a three-month window for redemption; others may not expire for nine months or more.

When a sale comes along, I usually have multiple coupons for a single item simply because I’ve saved all of my inserts.

When the item goes on sale, I may be using coupons from several different “appearances” of that coupon in the inserts.

Some may be several weeks old while others may be months old or even older. I will save my coupon inserts until everything inside expires. Doing this, it’s possible to build what amounts to a library of coupons at our disposal. Then, when we need them, those coupons are waiting to be looked up, cut out and used.

As you mentioned, most printable Internet coupons do allow multiple prints of the same coupon. The average print limit is two per computer, but I will always try to click the “back” button in my Web browser and print again until I receive the message that the print limit for the coupon has been reached. It’s important to do this because companies do offer higher print limits at times. I can recall a major cereal manufacturer that offered $1 coupons with a print limit of 14! That was a high limit and it allowed me to really stock up on that item at a low price because I had so many coupons.

Along the same lines, having as many coupons as possible definitely helps! People often ask how many newspapers I get. I currently have two different newspapers delivered on Sunday, a smaller, local paper and our big Chicago newspaper, because the coupons inserts in the two newspapers are different. In some areas, papers may offer “double inserts” for a very low rate. You might also see if your local newspaper offers a reduced rate to get a second, identical newspaper delivered on the day the coupons appear. I did this recently after numerous people in my Super-Couponing classes told

By Jill Cataldo me they were able to add a second copy of the large Sunday newspaper to their existing subscription for just 50 cents a week. Fifty cents is a small price to pay for double the coupons. On a good day, a coupon insert may contain $75 worth of coupons or more!

If you go through your coupon inserts when they arrive, take note of any high-value coupons. We’ve recently seen $5 and $10 dog food coupons in the inserts! If your dog eats that variety of food, it may well be worth spending a dollar or two to pick up a second copy at the newsstand that week, just to get another copy of that high-value coupon. And you’ll have doubles of all the other coupons, too.

Lastly … get creative! I have a friend who treats herself to a cappuccino on Sunday afternoons at her favorite coffeehouse shortly after lunchtime and offers to “clean up” the restaurant each week for them. She then takes home all the Sunday papers (and coupons) that numerous patrons have left behind! One person’s trash may very well be your means to a lower grocery bill.

Review board takes a stand on call to abolish APA (Editor’s Note: The following is written in response to an editorial in last week’s edition by Denton Publications managing editor John Gereau questioning the necessity of the Adirondack Park Agency.)

By Fred Monroe Special to Denton Publications

T

he Local Government Review Board does not believe that the APA should be abolished. We do believe that the APA needs to be reined in and its governing Act revised. Very clear evidence of this need is seen in recent cases where the Adirondack Park Agency threatened or attempted an enforcement action that was dropped or overturned: the Sandy Lewis farm worker housing case, the Leroy Douglas “wetlands” road case, the John Maye case about whether his house was illegally built on an existing foundation — which drew heated opposition in Lake George and other Adirondack communities and was widely reported in all Adirondack media — is more evidence of an agency overstepping its bounds. The APA is an administrative agency trying to act

like a legislative body — attempting to create law and then enforce that law when it doesn’t have the legal right to do so.

• We believe that the primary issue in the Adirondacks, as it has been for 20 years or more, is that so much of the state’s focus has been on land acquisition that any effort to encourage and protect the economic lives of the communities has been cast aside. The recent Adirondack Park Regional Assessment project Report bore this all out: The decline in school enrollment is steeper and the median age of the population is rising more rapidly than elsewhere. Household incomes are lower than in much of New York State. Sparse populations and regulatory practices have contributed to a lag in private sector investment in businesses, most notably in lack of broadband communication and data transfer infrastructure. The park-wide loss of private sector jobs has been somewhat offset temporarily by job increases in public health care, education and government employment. The creation of permanent jobs that pay living wages and provide benefits on which a family can depend is the

most fundamental need in Adirondack communities. While jobs are needed in every community in New York State, few other communities’ economic deterioration is so closely associated with the state’s as the communities of the Adirondack Park.

• Local input and consent is the foundation of any successful project in the Adirondacks. Local officials are deeply knowledgeable about the needs of their towns and villages as well as how their towns and land uses fit in to the SLMP. The Agency was envisioned to work cooperatively with governments and landowners to preserve and foster vibrant hamlets as well as protect state Forest Preserve. But as recent times have shown — with three former members of the Adirondack Council on the agency’s Board — the Agency seems more interested in targeting landowners than targeting problems. It is an inappropriate closeness — one that the environmental lobby would be upset about if the APA Board were made up of large developers or business people.

• Along the same lines as local input on projects, we need more local

Attracting a wide variety of birds I

n the last column, I discussed how to feed backyard birds during the winter months. If you really want to attract a wide variety of birds to your backyard, there are a few other components one should consider adding to the landscape.

All wildlife requires habitat — that is food, shelter, and water.

Birdfeeders are a great way to add the food component. Providing wintering birds with shelter and water are not too difficult either.

The best way to provide birds with liquid water during the cold winter months is with a heated birdbath. You can either purchase specially made heated bird baths, or you can place a water-safe heating element in a regular birdbath. Liquid water can be scarce during our winters and as a result a heated birdbath can attract a wider variety of birds to your yard.

The other component of habitat that is vital, especially during the winter if shelter. You can landscape your property with a variety of trees and shrubs to provide birds with shelter. Conifers, or evergreens, provide both warmth and wind pro-

tection during the winter months.

Dense deciduous shrubs can also provide protection from the cold, wind and snow.

If you do not have a lot of shrubs and bushes on your property, you really can’t change that this winter. That doesn’t mean you cannot provide shelter to birds this winter. Nesting boxes and birdhouses can be placed in the yard to provide birds with year-round winter roosting sites. Birds will enter the houses for warmth and wind protection, just like they would an evergreen shrub or tree.

With some care and consideration, backyard birding can be an exhilarating hobby throughout the winter, adding birdsongs and backyard visits to brighten the coldest days of the season!

input on the APA nominees. In order to more fully include the perspectives of the full-time residents of the Adirondacks, the five local commissioners appointed by the Governor for the Adirondack Park Agency Board should be chose from a list submitted by us each time there is an opening, as was informally done under some previous governors.

• We believe there should be opportunity for judicial review of the APA’s decisions by local government - but the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board does not have standing to seek judicial review. A court decision in 1982 ruled that because the APA act didn’t explicitly state that the Review Board had standing, it doesn’t. The Attorney General also argued in the multi-county, multi-town lawsuit against the APA, regarding the 2008 regulations, that the counties and towns lacked both capacity to sue the Agency and standing. We are seeking to change that because that means current legal decisions that directly affect the financial condition, municipal services, future growth, and programs of local governments are being made in the ab-

sence of those officials who are elected by their communities to represent the concerns of their constituents.

• We have been reviewing the Tug Hill Commission’s structure and mission as one example of what we’d like to see happen at the Adirondack Park Agency — where the executive law that creates it says it is geared toward the “conservation and productive use of the natural resources of the region, strengthening the long-term economy, employment, cultural and social resources, and the general wellbeing of the rural communities.”

• We’re working with local officials and Review Board members — as well as our residents and businesses -- for input on other questions or concerns they may have. In short, without reining in the Adirondack Park Agency, and creating economic opportunities, quality employment and affordable housing (among other needs) in the Adirondack Park, the economic life of the region will continue to deteriorate.

Fred Monroe is executive director of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board.

My journey to the half-marathon

(Editors Note: Martha Breyette of Saranac is on a 14-week goal to get in shape to compete in the inaugural City of Plattsburgh Half Marathon, Sunday, April 18. Breyette will share her trials and tribulations in this newspaper through a weekly journal entry.)

Week Two

S

o, here I am through week two. I have received a lot of positive reinforcement from my article; friends and family have shown their support in helping me achieve this goal.

I am starting to see some small physical changes. I have lost a few pounds and am mentally getting stronger all the time. I ran another four miles this week and didn’t have any breathing issues. I did encounter my first real-life hurdle — scheduling time for exercise. I had a conflict with my exercise time and something else. Normally I would have cancelled the exercise but this time I

worked my way through it so I could still exercise. I felt so good about staying on track. I am definitely looking at this day by day so it doesn’t become overwhelming.

I am also learning that eating things like bran cereal or wheat toast is just as good as white bread and better for me. I think for me it is the small changes every day that are helping me to stick with it. The other motivating factor is I have had a few people tell me they are signing up for more exercise too because I make it seem possible! That is so exciting.

Do something for yourself as you deserve!

Film festival brings mountains even closer PLATTSBURGH — High mountain skiers, rock climbers and mountain cultures will descend on the State University of New York at Plattsburgh this February with arrival of the Banff Film Festival World Tour.

Once a year, according to Banff organizers, the world’s best films with mountain themes draw an international audience to the town of Banff, Canada. The winning films are then presented around the world in 200 cities, including Plattsburgh.

“Before I became the chair of Expeditionary Studies, I knew about the

Banff Mountain Film Festival,” said Dr. Larry Soroka, director of the Adirondack Experience and chair of Expeditionary Studies. “When I started in this position, I knew that part of my goals included bringing a dose of ‘mountain culture’ to our campus as a whole. The World Tour fit the bill perfectly.”

The film festival draws crowds, not only from the campus, but from all over the region. Many follow the film festival around Northern New York.

“This is the type of event that people come back to year after year,” said

Joan Kornecki of Expeditionary Studies. “I already have people contacting me in October to find out when this year ’s festival will be held.”

A selection from the winning films will be presented, complete with an introduction from a Banff Film Festival representative, this Monday, Feb. 1, at 7 p.m., E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium in Hawkins Hall.

Tickets are free for SUNY Plattsburgh students. Admission is $5 for faculty and staff and $8 for the general public. Prizes including outdoor gear will be awarded at the viewings.

SUNY Plattsburgh’s former president to host discussion PLATTSBURGH — Joseph Burke, former president of the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, will return to campus to discuss his new book about one of the leading philanthropists in the North Country.

Burke’s presentation on “William H. Miner and the Making of the American Century” will take place Monday, Feb. 8, from 12-1 p.m. in the Angell College Center Alumni Conference Room on the SUNY Plattsburgh Campus.

Burke previously served as president of SUNY Plattsburgh for 12 years, and for nine as provost. He spent a year as chancellor of the SUNY system.

The presentation, which will be followed by a book signing, is sponsored by the President’s Office at SUNY Plattsburgh.

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Gordon J. Hazel Jr., a man best known in the community for his former role as executive director of the Joint Council for Economic Opportunity of Clinton and Franklin Counties, has died. Hazel, who had been battling pancreatic cancer since first diagnosed in August 2007, passed away Jan. 19 at the age of 62.

News of Hazel’s death sent shockwaves through the community. Though he had battled one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, Hazel wasn’t known to show signs of discomfort in public.

Bruce E. Garcia, the man who assumed Hazel’s role at the JCEO following Hazel’s retirement after 18 years in October 2008, said he was shocked and saddened by his friend’s death.

“The last time I saw him was about two weeks before he passed away,” recalled Garcia. “When I saw him, he looked great. He was still very thin, but he seemed to be as well as he could be.”

When he learned of his friend being hospitalized days later, Garcia said, “It quite frankly didn’t equate to what I had seen.”

The two talked over lunch about each other ’s grandkids and about family in general, Garcia recalled.

“What we enjoyed talking about most was family,” said Garcia. “One of the things I will remember most about Gordon was how much family meant to him — how much Kathleen and his sons meant to him, how much his grandkids meant to him.”

“Those kinds of conversations with him will be the memories of Gordon I cherish,” he added.

Garcia worked with Hazel as his deputy director for more than 12 years prior to Hazel’s retirement, he said. During that time, Garcia said he saw a “transformation” of the organization under

et in excess of $7 million a year, employ 170 people and have really increased the amount of services provided by our organization. The transformation has been just remarkable. Gordon really made JCEO a thriving and dynamic organization.”

Though Hazel has been honored for many accomplishments over the years, his most recent was his role in the development of White Pine Commons, a 32unit affordable housing development on Wallace Hill Road. The JCEO honored Hazel last October by naming the development’s community center after him during a special ceremony.

“Quite frankly, he had enormous accomplishments throughout his tenure and White Pine Commons was certainly a significant accomplishment,” said Garcia. “But, when you look at his overall body of work during the 18 years he was [at JCEO], it’s incredible.”

John C. Bernardi, executive director of the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties, agreed. The United Way honored Hazel with the Dorothy and Alan Booth Distinguished Citizen Award last February, crediting him for his role with the JCEO and for being a past chairman of the United Way’s Hazel as he was honored as Irishman of the Year during the 50th fundraising camannual Plattsburgh-North Country Chamber of Commerce St. paign team.

the region during his tenure.”

Bernardi recalled Hazel as “a good friend” he had known for “a number of years.” One of Bernardi’s fondest memories of Hazel was when he was looking to buy a boat, and Hazel invited him to go out onto the lake on his boat.

“He invited me and my whole family.

It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about boating from him because he was an avid boater,” said Bernardi. “That was about 10 years ago, but I’ll always remember that cruise on the lake.”

“Gordy was a true gentleman, a very kind, very bright guy,” Bernardi continued. “He lived every day of his life during his illness with an incredible amount of positive energy, dignity and a zest for living. I really respect him in a number of ways. He’s someone who’s an example to all of us.”

Hazel came to the Plattsburgh area more than 20 years ago following the announcement the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors Corporation in Massena was closing. Hazel was previously employed there as an accountant.

In addition to recognition from the JCEO and United Way, Hazel was also honored as the Irishman of the Year in 2008.

Hazel, the son of Gordon J. Hazel Sr. and Marion Hazel, Massena, leaves behind his parents; his wife, Kathleen; two sons, Marc and David; daughter-in-law Talitha Hazel; and grandsons Koby and Dylan. He also leaves behind a brother and sister-in-law, Richard and Sherry Hazel, Massena; a sister, Joanie, Massena; and many other relatives including aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Heart disease survivor shares experience with others Go Red for Women Dinner has sold out attendance

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Sandra Gothard wants people to know heart disease can happen to anyone.

Gothard, owner of Weight Management Inc., based in Plattsburgh and Saranac Lake, shared that message as featured speaker during the Go Red for Women Dinner Jan. 20, at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh Angell College Center. Gothard, who has also served as a professional registered nurse specializing in cardiac surgery, was born with congenital aortic stenosis, a condition in which the heart’s aortic valve is narrowed and contains only two leaflets versus the normal three.

The 56-year-old Loon Lake woman said it was important to her to share her experience of having lived her entire life with heart disease and what she’s gone through.

“I have known since I was a little girl that I would, at some point, need to have some surgery to repair that valve,” said Gothard.

Though that didn’t hold her back, she said. While growing up, Gothard’s parents didn’t let her condition prevent her from the activities she wanted to enjoy in her day-today life. For the most part, she was able to participate in games and sports like every other child her age.

“My mother and dad were so wonderful.

They wanted me to do everything I wanted to do and didn’t ever hold me back,” she said.

Though Gothard couldn’t participate in

some more intense sports like field hockey, she said she was able to enjoy riding her bike, taking ballet, cheerleading and even participating in gymnastics.

In fact, it wasn’t until her second pregnancy that Gothard began to have problems with her heart’s aortic valve and needed it replaced.

“I was having this severe chest pain, this constant chest pain that wouldn’t go away,” recalled Gothard, who said she took immediate action. “And, usually when an aortic valve needs to be replaced, it needs to be replaced yesterday. It’s a very powerful valve in our heart.”

Gothard underwent a second surgery in 2004, this time to repair an aortic aneurysm that had been a result of the defective valve.

Eventually, a pacemaker was installed because the surgeries had rendered ineffective the part of the heart that conducts electricity to keep it beating, she said.

Since her operations, life has been great, said Gothard. That’s why she said she couldn’t stress enough the importance of remaining ever vigilant about heart health.

“Your heart is really important, so, when it starts to have problems, you’ve got to take care of it,” she said.

Gothard — who was joined by nationallyrenowned speaker Eliz Greene, a heart disease survivor and author of “A Busy Woman’s Guide to a Healthy Heart” — said events like the Go Red for Women Dinner are important for drawing attention to the American Heart Association’s mission of promoting awareness and raising money to

“New York ENERGY STAR® Homes use less energy, save money, and help protect the environment”

Hundreds were in attendance for the annual Go Red for Women Dinner Jan. 20, at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh Angell College Center. The event featured informational displays, workshops, health screenings and guest speakers.

research and eradicate heart disease.

“The American Heart Association is so vital to the education and research and the technology that needs to go into understanding heart disease,” said Gothard, who underscored its importance especially in women. “Women are in the workplace now where they weren’t 30 years ago. They have the stressors that just the men were once faced with. Women do have heart disease; it’s not a figment of their imagination, the way many, many physicians thought it was years ago.”

Katherine McCarthy, senior regional director of communications for the local affiliate of the American Heart Association, said she was impressed by the overwhelming response from the community to the event, which sold out with more than 400 people in

attendance.

“I think it’s great, especially in these tough times to see people step up, attend the luncheon, contribute, purchase items from the silent auction. It really shows a commitment to heart health,” said McCarthy.

The most important thing, aside from raising thousands for the American Heart Association, said McCarthy, was the message those in attendance took home from the event. “[The speakers] were great,” she said. “I think it’s very moving to hear from people who have lived with heart disease or stroke.

It reminds everyone that they’re alive because someone funded the research to develop the technology that has kept them alive today.”

Collection From page 1 Jacob collected several new and used items throughout the month of January to help North Country Mission of Hope’s ongoing relief effort, gaining the support of his school and community.

“We collected clothes, school supplies, toys, stuffed animals, story books,” said Jacob, who added he was “happy” and “excited” at the collection drive’s overwhelming response.

When the collection drive was over, the real work of organizing everything began.

“We had to separate them and write everything all down on papers and put them on the boxes,” said Jacob, adding he had to use his aunt’s garage to have enough room for the donations.

“I’m very proud of him,” said Jacob’s mother. “It was all his idea to do this. He’s always been very thoughtful, thinking of others, helping others.”

Jacob’s teacher, Lisa Nap-

per, said she’s also proud of efforts like Jacob’s in helping others. The value of community service is something Napper said she strives to instill in her students and is something she sees is already of importance to students like Jacob.

“It is so exciting to see young people want to give back to the community and reach out to others,” said Napper. “Making students realize the value of giving and how it makes them feel is a life-long skill that I hope follows with them through out their life.”

The collection drive, said Jacob, wouldn’t have been possible without the support of his family, fellow students and teachers at Saranac Elementary.

“Thank you,” said Jacob.

The donations will now be taken to the North Country Mission of Hope headquarters in Plattsburgh for transportation to Nicaragua.

10 - CLINTON TODAY

SATURDAY January 30, 2010

Wild storms, wild skiers, Wild Center E

arlier in the week, the first major thaw of the season roared through the region, delivering wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and horizontal rains.

With up to two inches of rain reported in some areas, the storm provided a natural Zamboni that refreshed ice surfaces to a polished gleam. However, with forecasts indicating a snowstorm was soon to follow, lakes will likely be sloppy for a while, with a slushy mix of standing water and snow.

Skiing has gone Wild in Tupper Many area residents have fond memories of learning how to ski at a local ski center. At one time, these small, community ski centers could be found in nearly every township in the Adirondacks.

At one time, the Empire State served as host to more ski centers than any other state in the nation. But, since the late 1960’s, New York state has lost an estimated 350 historic, ski centers.

The small hills provided beginners with a safe, easy and relatively inexpensive introduction to the sport. Most of the centers featured rope tows, a J-bar or a T-bar to haul prospective daredevils up the slopes. Chairlifts were primarily reserved for ski centers built on mountains, not hills.

The small, community ski centers were places where parents could drop off the kids, with few worries. They were considered an extension of the village, where you knew everybody and everybody knew you. Our parents seemed to like it that way.

In Lake Placid, the ski hills where local kids flocked were places like Fawn Ridge, Scotts Cobble and Mt. Whitney.

In Saranac Lake novices took to Mt. Pisgah, and fortunately, they still do. Otis Mountain was the favored hill for residents of Elizabethtown, Lewis, Westport and Moriah, while Paleface Mountain served the locals from nearby Jay, Keene, Ausable Forks and Keeseville.

The communities of Cranberry Lake, Clifton and Fine had the CliftonFine Lions Club Ski Center that was located behind the Twin Lakes Hotel in Star Lake.

Long Lake retains its town ski center, as does Schroon Lake. Both communities continue to draw visitors from the nearby towns of Newcomb, Blue Mountain Lake and Raquette Lake.

Further south, Hickory Hill still handles novices from places such as Bolton Landing, Warrensburg, Schroon Lake, Minerva and beyond. After several years of inactivity, this small center has been revived this year, much to the enjoyment of the local communities.

However, the rope tows no longer have mittens frozen to them in places like the Harvey Mountain/Garnet Mountain in North River, Lyon Mountain Ski Hill near Dannemora, Maple Ridge in Old Forge, The Redford Tow in Saranac, Baldpate Ski Club in Crown Point or the Silver Bells Ski Hill in Wells.

Most young skiers of my generation, in the 1970s, cut their teeth (or at least chipped a

few), while practicing stem-turns and hot dogging on such smaller hills. Once we thought we were good enough, we attempted to tackle the larger mountains of Whiteface and Gore, which beckoned us with groomed trails, steep drops and even a gondola.

Located in Tupper Lake, the Big Tupper Ski Area once served as a proving ground for local kids from the surrounding communities of Piercefield, Long Lake, Cranberry Lake and beyond. However, as with most of the region’s small, community operated ski centers the chairlifts stopped running at Big Tupper over a decade ago. The lifts and groomers at Big Tupper have remained silent ever since.

Until this year!

Fortunately, for both the community and especially its youth, the lifts and rope tows at Big Tupper now run again! Through the concerted efforts of a community support group called ARISE, funding for the operation was raised through a combination of donations and fundraising events.

A brigade of dedicated local volunteers spend many hours on the hill, shoring up the equipment, grooming and painting the complex, while an all volunteer Ski Patrol took to the slopes. Volunteers and community minded citizens became the heart and soul of Big Tupper.

Now in full operation, a lift ticket at Big Tupper costs only $15 a day for adults, $9 for youth and free for children under 6 and seniors. The

mountain will be in operation from Friday through Sunday for the remainder of the season, snow conditions permitting.

The mission of the Big Tupper Ski Area reopening project is to provide a basic, no frills, affordable ski/snowboarding experience for individuals and families. The project at Big Tupper is a locally initiated, volunteer based, not-for-profit venture.

Contact the ski center at SkiBigTupper.Org or call 359-3730 to check on snow conditions.

In an effort to provide an added bonus, The Wild Center in Tupper Lake recently announced that beginning Friday, Jan. 29, until Sunday, March 7, people who purchase either a ticket to The Wild Center or a day pass to ski at Big Tupper will get a pass to the other venue for free.

Both the ski mountain and the center have adult tickets priced at $15, and the free ticket can be redeemed for up to two weeks from when they are issued. You can buy a museum ticket one day, and hold off on the skiing until the next dump of snow or vice versa. Tickets are non-transferable.

The Wild Center offers Winter Wildays both Saturdays and Sundays, with a full slate of indoor and outdoor activities and presentations.

The museum Web site hosts an outdoor Web cam that shows local snow conditions.

For further information on The Wild Center, visit www.wildcenter.org or call 359-7800.

Health & Fitness 2 0 1 0 FITNESS: THE ANSWER TO A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE Flabby Muscles?

G ETTING

It’s not easy to start the process of improving physical fitness.

Often poorly equipped, you can find yourself back at square one after several unsuccessful tries. Here are a few tips which will help you off the starting blocks and down the road to success.

The first mistake made by a lot of people is to start too quickly, as if they were Olympic athletes. If you set unrealistic objectives, you will feel defeated after only a few weeks and you won’t be any further ahead. A good way to start is to take the time to sit down with a kinesiologist, a specialist in physical activity, who will be able to fix realistic objectives for you and build a program to enable you to persevere.

It would also be a great help if you could find yourself a training partner. Whether you like it or not, it’s not easy to go to the gym alone. There are always a million excuses not to go and all the willpower in the world can soon disappear into thin air.

However, when you know that you’ll be meeting a good friend, it’s much easier to persevere.

And lastly, if you always have difficulty forcing yourself to go to a gym on a regular basis, it would perhaps be interesting to register for a group class with fixed hours. This way, every week, you will have a routine to follow, always at the same time, which will be a real boost for your motivation. Keeping fit is never an easy thing to do but, as long as you don’t try to go too fast, you will soon see results.

The teenage years are a special time in his life.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION!

There are certain times of the year which can be very difficult for our bodies. We feel soft and flabby, we lose all desire for physical activity and every movement seems an effort. Many of us feel like this but there are ways to help ourselves get back in shape.

First of all, there’s diet to consider. Vitamins play a vital role and it’s very important to consume them on a regular basis, particularly vitamin B (grains, eggs, cheese, fish, liver). What’s more, some healthy eating habits are very simple to incorporate into daily life, such as drinking a big glass of fresh vegetable juice before every meal, adding sprouted grains to your daily diet and having fresh or dried fruits for breakfast. This last suggestion is a very important one as it is a great replacement for the coffee, bread, butter and honey which often constitute our first meal of the day.

Secondly, it’s always wise to have as much fresh air as possible, to soak up some sunshine and to do some physical exercise. A brisk walk, some jogging or a hike are all great ways of combining these recommendations.

And lastly, never underestimate the importance of a good night’s sleep. If you are in the habit of going to bed whenever you feel like it, make the effort of going to sleep at a regular time; you’ll feel much more rested. If you decide to follow all these suggestions, you’ll soon be as fit as you ever were and much happier for it!
