jeremiah@denpubs.com LYON MOUNTAIN — If the only thing missing this Valentine’s Day weekend is a babysitter, then all hope is not lost.

Lyon Mountain Methodist Church will host “Parents Nite Out,” a babysitting service, this Saturday, Feb. 13. The service, organized by the Methodist Youth Fellowship, will give parents a chance to enjoy a kidfree evening on the town, at home or anywhere in a nearby radius.

Angela Spahr, one of the adults helping coordinate the event, said the youth group came up with the idea as a way to raise money to go to a Methodist youth convention later this year.

“They were brainstorming and came up with an idea that would give parents a chance for a night out,” said

PERU — The future of a mobile home community hangs in the balance.

South Acres Mobile Home Park has been facing serious issues with its septic system since the property was purchased more than three years ago by Tam Phung of Woodside, Calif.

Laura Oswald, a representative of The Laberge Group, an Albany-based engineering firm that has been working with Phung to correct the problem, addressed the Peru Town Council Feb. 8. Oswald gave an overview of Phung's situation and his desire to replace the system with financial assistance from a $400,000 Community Development Block Grant administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Ur-

ban Development.

However, Phung, as an individual can't apply for funding through the program, Oswald explained.

"In order to apply for funding, an individual needs to be sponsored by a unit of government or a nonprofit," she said.

"The only cost in this [for the town] is to do the advertising for the public hearings and, obviously, your time to participate," Oswald added, noting Phung would be willing to reimburse the town for the costs, which she said would be nominal.

The overall cost to replace the system is "likely to exceed the grant money," said Oswald, somewhere in the neighborhood of $600,000-$700,000. The system currently serves 82 units in the park, with a new

North Country Squares resurrecting a tradition

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

The North Country Squares Dance Club in Morrisonville recently welcomed the Northern Lights Square Dance Club of Champlain as the Northern Tier club reclaimed its traveling banner. The banner was “stolen” as part of a tradition known as a banner run. Dick Crawford of the North Country Squares is seen holding the banner with Northern Lights club members Margot Delbrueck and Lorraine Mcnaughton, as members of both clubs look on.

MORRISONVILLE — The North Country Squares Dance Club has resurrected an old tradition with the help of the Northern Lights Square Dance Club in Champlain.

The two square dancing organizations have brought back the popularity of banner runs, which involve clubs visiting one another and “stealing” the traveling banner which bears the other club’s name. The tradition is one started “years ago,” said North Country Squares copresident Celeste Roy, but fell by the wayside in recent years.

“We wanted to bring it back to life. So, last fall, we visited the Northern Lights club and took their banner,” explained Roy. “And, in order to get it back, they had to come to our club.”

The Northern Lights club did, recently visit-

ing the North Country Squares on their home turf at the Clinton County Fairgrounds.

Mary Bachelder, co-president of the Northern Lights club, said the banner run is old-fashioned fun that breathes new life into the square dancing club circuit.

“It’s a good practice because it gives you a reason to go to each other ’s clubs more,” said Bachelder. “It promotes people to travel more and meet the other square dancers in their area.”

The two clubs are the only ones left of their kind in the area, said Bachelder, who noted the closest clubs similar to them are in Montreal and Vermont.

“We’ve visited the clubs in Montreal but now it’s difficult for some of our members to go there because they don’t have passports,” said Bachelder, referring to the federal government stepping up border crossing requirements last year.

‘Nor th Countr y Biggest Loser’ or ganizers looking for you!

Applications for four-month progam due Feb. 22

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — These days, being a “loser” can be considered a good thing — especially when it comes to losing weight and getting healthy.

That’s why the City of Plattsburgh Recreation Department and the Plattsburgh chapter of the American Heart Association have teamed up to host the first North Country Biggest Loser weight loss program. The two entities have joined together to find 10 people willing to make a commitment to make lifestyle changes and work with a personal trainer for four months beginning Monday, March 1.

Faith Osborne Long, regional director of the American Heart Association, said the program will be offered at the City Recreation Center at no cost to participants. The recreation department is donating a four-month membership in an effort to motivate people who may have used cost as a reason not to exercise. “[The participants] don’t have to pay for a membership, so we’re really looking for people with a lot of motivation, people who will really stick with it through mid-July,” said Osborne Long.

The program will be similar to the popular NBC television series, “The Biggest Loser,” which it’s modeled after, said Osborne Long — with a few exceptions.

“Our program isn’t going to be as competitive,” she said. “We

won’t be voting people off. The 10 people who participate, we’re planning they’re going to make it to the end. We’re going to look at how they did as a group because, really, we want them to be supportive of each other.”

North Country Biggest Loser also won’t require participants to move to a fitness ranch for several weeks like the television show.

Rather, the program will require attendance at two-hour workout sessions with trainer Mary Duprey Monday and Thursday evenings, as well as a commitment by participants to workout on their own time. The program will also feature education through guest speakers and require participants to keep track of their eating habits and work with dietician Ann Watts to see what improvements can be made in regard to nutrition.

“Right from the very beginning, we’re going to be asking them to keep track of what they eat and when they eat it. That way, we can work with them individually,” said Osborne Long. “It’ll be important to look at all those factors because, truly, we want people to stick with this and make the commitment.”

Steve Peters, the city’s superintendent of recreation, said the program is “a really great opportunity,” especially considering some alarming statistics out there.

Fifty-six percent of Clinton County adults and 43 percent of children ages 2-19, he said, are considered “at risk” or overweight.

“Those are really big numbers,” said Peters.

Though in line with the national average, Peters said that number still presents a challenge to be overcome.

“With today’s lifestyles, it’s a really big challenge to be motivated to get out there and do things,” he said.

“We’re hoping this structure will help people recognize the benefits of healthy activities and then be able to capitalize on that and be a little bit healthier because of it.”

The support system the program will focus on — rather than offering prizes at the end like the television show — will hopefully be all the motivation participants will need, said Osborne Long.

“What we plan to do is recognize the group as part of Mayor ’s Cup activities in July, possibly introducing them Faith Osborne Long and Steve Peters are waiting for your application as a contestand announcing how much ant in the North Country Biggest Loser weight loss program.

United Way not only meets, but surpasses $700,000 fundraising goal jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — It was only a few weeks ago the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. was facing a $30,000 shortfall for its $700,000 annual fundraising goal. What a difference a few weeks can make.

During a press conference Feb. 5, John C. Bernardi, executive director of the local

nonprofit organization, announced the fundraising campaign team not only met its goal, but exceeded more than they could have imagined.

“We’re announcing we exceeded our goal, raising $740,700,” said Bernardi.

The $70,000 boost was attributed to several business and individual contributions being “much more than expected,” said Bernar-

di, who credited attention to the issue being raised by the local media.

“We found it to be quite a challenging year for a number of reasons,” Bernardi said, citing the troubled national economy and reductions in the local workforce.

“On the other hand, we also saw many various successes along the way and saw many campaigns coming in above what they had last year.”

“We certainly experienced our share of people stepping up to the plate and recognizing that the needs are

very great right now,” he added.

Jamie L. Basiliere, who chaired this year ’s fundraising campaign team, said that increase in support will go a long way with the dollars raised for the United Way and its 33 partner agencies.

“I’d like to thank the community at large who gave to the campaign,” said Basiliere. “People gave very, very generously and it’s been a great experience, thanks to the community.”

Both Basiliere and Bernardi also credited the work of

the campaign team in reaching out to local businesses, organizations and individuals to make reaching the goal a reality.

“It was truly a team effort,” said Bernardi.

The next step for the United Way is for its allocations committee to determine the amount of funding that will go to each of its partner agencies. That process will begin later this month and conclude in mid-March, said Bernardi.

The total amount of requests is in excess of more than $1 million, but the amount raised will help the Someone Cares!

majority of the requests, said Sue LeBlanc, president of the local United Way’s board of directors.

“The blessing is, we have the funds to be able use to do that,” said LeBlanc.

The goal for next year ’s campaign will be set in the months ahead, and take into account the success of this year ’s campaign, the state of the local economy, and the employment situation in both counties.

“We will do all of those things,” said Bernardi. “I can tell you safely that we will not be lowering the goal and there’s a good chance we will raise the goal. I can’t tell you how much. We have to look at these factors.”

Regardless of the figure, Bernardi said the goal will be “realistic” when all factors are taken into account.

Mayor’s Cup planning begins, many events to return this summer

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Though there’s still snow on the ground, planning for the annual summer Mayor ’s Cup celebration is in full swing.

Representatives from the Sunrise Rotary Club and City Mayor Donald M. Kasprzak announced the nonprofit organization and the city will be taking a more unified approach to hosting the event, now in its 33rd year. Historically, the two entities have been responsible for hosting their own Mayor ’s Cup events, which led to some confusion, said Sunrise Rotary member and Mayor ’s Cup Committee cochair Dr. Jake DeSnyder.

“There were two different events, two different projects going on, two different fundraisers,” he said. “So, we’ve made it more unified this year and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback.”

The basic framework of

the three-day event will remain the same, with the return of the Boat Parade of Lights starting at the Lake Champlain waterfront at Wilcox Dock the evening of Thursday, July 8. Last year ’s boat parade drew approximately 30 entrees and has become a fixture with Mayor ’s Cup, said DeSnyder.

“The idea is for it to be just a fun event, decorate the boats and have what’s turned out to be a very nice evening parade,” he said.

This year, Kasprzak will serve as one of the three judges for the event, which will include new categories for smallest boat and boat that has come the farthest to participate in the event.

The event will again include a fireworks celebration on the downtown waterfront Saturday, July 10 — one week after the city’s Fourth of July fireworks celebration returns to downtown the Sunday before.

“I’m really confident that will help everybody downtown and draw more people

here,” Kasprzak said of having both fireworks celebrations downtown following requests from city residents.

Though planning for Mayor ’s Cup is in its preliminary stages, one local act has been booked. Glass Onion will perform on the downtown waterfront July 10. Other acts are in the process of being booked, said Kasprzak.

The North Country Cultural Center for the Arts is once again teaming up with Mayor ’s Cup organizers to host events including a “See Food” sculpture contest, sponsored by CVPH Medical Center. The contest will involve teams from local schools, organization and businesses as well as individuals collecting canned goods to be positioned into sculptures. Following the contest, the food will be donated to local food pantries.

“We’re hoping that will be a nice addition and I’m sure it will,” said DeSnyder.

Returning events other than the boat parade are expected to be part of the cele-

bration once again including a 5-kilometer walk/run, the CVPH Mountain to Lake Bike Ride, and, of course, the Mayor ’s Cup Regatta.

The key this year to the continued success of the event is increased cooperation, said the mayor.

“We’re all working together to do this, which is really important for the city of Plattsburgh, downtown and the community,” said Kasprzak.

“That, to us, is a very im-

portant change this year,” said DeSnyder.

The Mayor ’s Cup Web site, www.mayorscup.com, and city Web site, www.cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov,will have more information about the event as it becomes available. For more information, contact the Mayor ’s Cup Landlubber Events Committee at 5637701, Waterfront Events Committee at 561-8790, and Arts Events Committee at 561-1604.

I’ve heard about IP addresses, but what are they?

,

A

Adirondack Humane Society

ll telephones are associated with a number. Anyone entering a certain number will be connected to a particular phone. Can we think of the telephone number as the phone address, that it is unique, and no other phone has the same number?

In the same way that telephones have a unique address, computers connecting to the Internet must also have a unique address. The addressing scheme on the Internet is IP (Internet Protocol). Unlike telephone numbers, IP addresses are long binary numbers that are easy for computers to manage but difficult for people to use.

Compare computer IP addressing to the system of phone numbers. When someone needs to make a call and the phone number is unknown they often turn to a phone book to find the number. What does a computer turn to?

It turns to the Domain Name System, the system that brings two main features to the Web. First it provides order to the naming scheme of Internet hosts while also providing the means in which to find a particular host, say Google, by specifying the name. DNS is the phonebook of the Web. It

works automatically through the Web browser to look up the IP address of a particular Web address.

Keeping with the Google example, when the user enters www.google.com into the address bar the PC may not immediately go straight to the Google Web site. It may first send a DNS request asking for the IP address of www.google.com. Somewhere, a DNS server responds with Google’s IP address which, when armed with the actual address, allows the original PC to send a Web page request to Google.

Internet Service Providers often maintain

study conducted by Case Western University found more than 25 percent of spouses caring for a wife or husband with dementia experience depression. Researcher Katherine Betts Adams reports, “Caregivers have a long exposure to stresses and losses from the dementia and fatigue that come from caring for their spouses, so they experience fewer positive emotions.”

Caregivers also frequently experience loneliness, in part due to the reluctance many caregivers have to participate in social activities when their spouses are no longer able to socialize. Guilt can exacerbate isolation, as the caregiver becomes consumed by the responsibilities of caregiving and becomes less attentive to his or her own needs.

What can caregivers do? Former caregiver Carol O’Dell makes some excellent suggestions in her online blog, found at www.alzheimerscaregiving.com. Carol recommends caregivers sign up for an online class, in a subject of interest NOT related to caregiving, like learning a foreign language or a musical instrument. This serves two purposes: it gives the caregiver a social outlet and helps keeps the brain active and gives caregivers something to look forward to, without leav-

ing the home. She also suggests caregivers join an online discussion forum. Both AARP and the Alzheimer ’s association offer forums on their Web sites. If a discussion about any topic other than caregiving is desired, O’Dell recommends Gather.com for a variety of discussion groups. Little changes in the caregiving routine can also break up the monotony.

O’Dell suggests caregivers take a different route home from the grocery store or doctor ’s office, rather than just going on “autopilot.” Or maybe the caregiver can try a project like organizing photographs into a scrapbook, a little at a time. Little changes in the caregiving routine can make a big difference!

Gather your coupons … and multi-stack!

L

ast week, I introduced you to the concept of multi-stacking, a term I use to refer to any deal at the grocery store that involves applying multiple discounts to the purchase of the same items. Through multi-stacking, shoppers can enjoy even greater savings at the register each week, leveraging the power of store coupons, manufacturer coupons and additional sales or special promotions being held at the store.

My favorite deals are “money-back” supermarket sales, in which part of what you pay for your items is returned to you at checkout in the form of a Catalina coupon good for money off your next purchase. One of the stores I shop at recently had a “Spend $30, get $15 back” sale on a variety of items. I get very excited when I see these sales, because $30 is the total before coupons are factored in — precoupon, I call it.

This particular deal included a variety of cereals. All of them were priced at $2 a box. By buying 15 boxes I could reach the $30 spending mark and qualify for the special sale.

Now, right away, I suspect a few of my readers may be snickering a bit. Fifteen boxes of cereal? In one shopping trip? You bet! At my store, these great, high-level moneyback sales tend to come around only once every few months or so. When they do, it’s a great opportunity to stock up on the cheap. Cereal is an excellent item to add to your grocery stockpile at home. It typically doesn’t outdate for 11 months or more. And when you buy more, you save more.

I always take advantage of these sales when they come along. And I can’t remember a time when I paid more than a quarter a box for a name-brand cereal. Really. That’s actually the high end of what I’ll pay. I typically pay much less than that for cereal, as you’ll see during my story of this $30/$15 sale.

As I entered the cereal aisle, I was on the lookout for instore coupons. It’s always a good idea to scan for coupons that may be in dispensers or on the shelves of your supermarket. When I see coupons for products I like I always take a few, because I will have those coupons on hand next time

a sale comes around. Sometimes, the coupon you need to sweeten a deal is hanging right in front of you on the shelf. Keep your eyes open!

That was the case with my cereal buy. As I added 15 boxes to my cart, I spied a tear pad of $1 coupons for the cereal hanging on the shelf right under the boxes. So, I took 15 of them. I never clean out a store of coupons; there are typically more than a hundred coupons on a tear pad. Don’t be afraid to take what you will use! Remember, coupons are placed there in the hope you will use them and try the product.

By Jill Cataldo I headed to the register with my 15 boxes of $2 cereal and 15 $1 coupons. The cashier scanned my cereal and the register total came to $30. I handed the cashier my $1 coupons; after they were redeemed, my bill was $15.

I paid $15 … and I received $15 back in Catalina coupons good for my next shopping trip. So, I got back the same amount of money I spent on the cereal. My 15 boxes of cereal are, essentially, free.

I’ve stressed this point in previous columns but I can’t say it often enough: shoppers must think of coupons as cash.

They are essentially a form of cash, for shoppers and for the stores where we do business. When a supermarket has a sale like a “Spend $30, get $15 back,” shoppers still spend $30 on the items. My $1 coupons “paid” for $15 of my $30 spending and the store will get that $15 back from the manufacturer when it redeems the coupons. The $15 in Catalina coupons that I received function just like cash in the store.

They’re good for anything I want to buy on my next shopping trip. So, I view this as having exchanged one form of cash for another … but I’m still holding the $15 in my hand that I just paid for the cereal. It’s just in the form of a coupon now. And you know how much I love coupons! © CTW Features Jill Cataldo, a coupon workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

Baptisia australis: perennial plant of the year

E

very year, the Perennial Plant Association selects one perennial to be the plant of the year. The perennial selected must be suitable for a wide range of climate types, low maintenance, easily propagates, and exhibit multiple seasonal interest. The 2010 perennial of the year is Baptisia australis or Blue False Indigo, which is a showy native species typically found in prairies, meadows, stream banks, and in open woodlands.

This popular perennial blooms in mid- to late-spring by sending up foot long spires of intense indigo blue flowers. After the flowers fade, the plant still maintains interest in the garden with its trifoliate, soft blue-green foliage and shrub-like form. And, as long as the bees do their job, puffy green seed pods emerge everywhere there was a flower.

These seed pods turn a charcoal black when they ripen in the late summer and remain on the plant well into the winter, providing much sought after winter interest in the landscape.

Baptisia australis is very easy to grow and requires little maintenance if sited properly. It grows best in full sun, but will tolerate light shade. If it is planted in too much shade, it may not flower and may require staking. Average to poor soil is suit-

I ran a new goal — I made it to 5 miles! I couldn’t believe it. It was so amazing to get to 4 and now for me to be to 5 just seems unbelievable. I started running oen night when the weather was decent but ended the run in horrific winds and snow. I did have friends come and check on me to make sure I was okay — at that point I was so determined to finish. There was no turning back.

My new habits of diet and exercise are settling in and getting easier to maintain. Setting the time for the exercise is

According to the Clinton County Office of Real Property, Phung purchased the property Nov. 15, 2006, for approximately $1.4 million from Clifford and Shirley Renadette. When he purchased the property, said Oswald, he "got a nasty surprise."

"He's doing his best to sort out an expensive and nasty problem," said Oswald.

When reached via phone, Phung said he couldn't go into specifics about the history of the septic system's problems as the matter is currently under litigation. However, Phung did say the park is in "dire need" of a new system and has been for some time since he purchased the property.

"We've already waited two years to try to line up money for it," he said.

Phung said he has been working with

With hundreds now occupying South Acres — some of whom came from previously closed mobile home parks in the area — Phung said he believes he can raise enough interest in higher levels of government to find a way for funding to be secured. Phung doesn't believe elected officials would stand by while families would potentially face homelessness.

"If we don't get this grant, we strongly believe we'll get another grant or a loan from the government or something," said Phung, "because [the government has] no choice but to step in in that case ... There's just too many people."

The town will hold the first of two required public hearings Monday, Feb. 22.

The meeting, which will be held at Town Hall beginning at 6:30 p.m., will give the public an overview of the CDBG program and an opportunity to ask questions about funding. A second public hearing will be scheduled to allow for the CDBG application on behalf of Phung to be submitted prior to an April 23 deadline.

key for me so that I don’t have a chance to put it off.

It is so exciting for me as I have had so many people come up to me and say “Hey are you the girl journaling in the paper?” When I say “Yes,” they are so encouraging and supportive. It has been truly rewarding seeing some of my friends get back into exercise too.

For me the key is a strong support system — my family — is amazing. My husband, Ed, and my daughter, Abby, have been so encouraging. My daughter claims she is like “Jillian Michaels” and will help to keep me on track. They are already talking about watching me and cheering me on at the race.

At work I also have a core group of friends who are supportive and some are doing the race as well, so we have developed a team effort. Hopefully this will be what I need to accomplish my goal.

the Clinton County Health Department to correct the problem, which Susan Thew, a representative of the health department, confirmed during the meeting Monday night. Thew said the department has show leniency in working with Phung because it is to the department's understanding he unknowingly inherited the problem when he purchased the property.

However, Thew said an overhaul of the septic system seems to be the only viable option to ensure safety of the public health.

"The future is not real good for this park," said Thew.

Phung agreed the future is bleak, but stated he believes funding to replace the system will come through whether it be through the CDBG or not.

"We're very confident this will happen," Phung said of the CDBG being granted. "If this doesn't work out, the lending environment is different this year. We might be able to get private money, local bank money."

able, as long as it is well-drained. Once established, Baptisia is drought tolerant due to its tough, deep tap root. No serious pests or diseases are known to afflict this plant.

Because of its commanding size, this shrublike perennial makes a beautiful specimen on its own or in small groupings. It is commonly used as a backdrop in perennial borders, but also works well in native or meadow plantings. Deer usually do not bother Baptisia, and it attracts butterflies.

Because I like facts, one of the things I like most about Baptisia is the plants history. Early Americans used this plant as a substitute for true indigo, which grows in the West Indies and was used to make blue dye. In fact, Baptisia was the first agricultural crop ever to be subsidized in America!

Punki’s seeing red for American Heart Month

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — When Paula Ashline gets passionate about a cause, she sticks with it.

That’s why, when the month of February was approaching — which is nationally recognized as American Heart Month — she wanted to do something to help promote it where she works.

Ashline, a hair stylist at Punki’s Shear Perfection, wanted the salon to help raise money for the American Heart Association, so she talked with owner Elizabeth “Punki” Duhaime, and she was all for it, Ashline said.

“When I asked Punki about it, she said ‘Go for it,’” said Ashline.

Immediately, Ashline looked into what she could do to help the AHA, and found the salon could sell paper hearts and Go Red for Women pins. The idea skyrocketed in the first week of February, with dozens of hearts and pins already sold.

Though Go Red for Women Day last Friday focused on raising awareness of heart disease and stroke in women, Ashline said she’s put an emphasis on Punki’s campaign being about educating all people about the importance of heart health. As the mother of

a grown son with a heart condition known as aortic stenosis, Ashline said she wants to do whatever she can to increase support for all who have a heart condition.

“It doesn’t matter to me whether it’s men

or women,” she said. “I want us to support everyone.”

This isn’t the first community-minded endeavor to come from Punki’s. Most recently, the salon hosted a fundraiser in October

selling ribbons in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. That effort collected more than $500 for the Treasure Chests, a local team that competed in the annual Northeastern New York Race for the Cure, which benefits the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

“These kinds of things are important to us,” said Ashline. “That’s why we do them.”

“Even if we collect $500 or $600 from this, I’d be happy with that for our first year,” she added. “We want everyone to come by and support [the American Heart Association].”

During the month of February, paper hearts are available at the salon for a $1 donation each. Those purchasing hearts may sign their name or the name of a loved one on the heart and they will be hung in the salon. Go Red for Women pins are also available for a $5 donation.

The salon is also offering to anyone who purchases a CHI or Redken product that’s red a chance to win one of two massage sessions by Erin Tate. The drawing will be held Friday, Feb. 26.

Punki’s Shear Perfection, located at 2 Halsey Court, and open Monday 9 a.m.- 5 p.m.; Tuesday-Friday 9 a.m.-8 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, contact the salon at 563-0620.

These networks help farmers distribute information, offer moral and technical support, and share resource leads.

There is no cost, but participants are welcome to bring a dish to pass.

For more information, contact horticulture educator Anne Lenox Barlow at 561-7450.

Church to be recognized for role in Anti-Slavery Movement Interpretive panel dedication slated for Feb. 16

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — An historic occasion in its own right will recognize the historic significance of Plattsburgh in the Anti-Slavery Movement.

The North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association will join with the leadership of the First Presbyterian Church Tuesday, Feb. 16, to dedicate Plattsburgh’s first interpretive panel celebrating the church’s role in the Anti-Slavery Movement of the 19th century.

NCURHA president Don Papson said the issue of bringing an end to slavery in the United States was a divisive issue by 1837. First Presbyterian Church trustee Gen. Benjamin Mooers circulated a petition in the spring of that year against abolitionists meeting anywhere in Plattsburgh. Mooers wasn’t alone — some of Clinton County’s wealthiest and most influential citizens were among the church’s founding members, with several owning slaves before New York abolished slavery in 1827.

The abolitionists were denied use of

widow Sperry’s Meeting Hall on Broad Street, the Methodist Church, and the Presbyterian Church. Emotions ran high on both sides of the issue and it wasn’t until August 1837 when antagonism against the abolitionists had “subsided to a degree in Plattsburgh,” and the Clinton County Anti-Slavery Society was allowed to hold their first annual meeting in the First Presbyterian Church.

“What’s important for people to know is the courage they exhibited here. It’s not easy to be against what everybody else is standing for,” he said.

Papson said the church’s role in the Anti-Slavery Movement wasn’t known until after it was uncovered a few years ago in research conducted of the Underground Railroad’s history in the region.

“This area between Albany and Montreal, the Champlain line of the Underground Railroad, was the least researched of all the routes of the Underground Railroad in New York,” said Papson. “It’s a history that members of the church didn’t even know. It opens up a whole chapter of our history we

didn’t know anything about.”

The distinctive panel, which was installed last month, is one of a series of state funded markers on New York’s Underground Railroad Heritage Trail.

The North Country has three others — one at the John Brown Farm in North Elba, one at the the Essex County Courthouse in Elizabethtown, and one at the First Congregational Church in Malone.

“This, to me, is extremely important because we know about the American Revolution, we know about the War of 1812,” said Papson. “This is another story about freedom, not of political freedom, but of social freedom.”

The Feb. 16 unveiling will take place in front of the main entrance to the First Presbyterian Church at 34 Brinkerhoff St., beginning at 5 p.m. Interim pastor Virginia Murray and Papson will be joined by members of the church and the association for the event. Following the unveiling, members of the NCURHA board and church steering committee will convene in the church for their regular monthly meeting. The public is invited to both the panel unveiling and the meeting.

ADIRONDACK OUTDOORS • CLINTON TODAY - 9

Mid-winter arrives in the North Country Soaring with eagles

I

n the North Country, mid-winter is usually defined by the middle weeks of February, when many local schools typically begin a traditional, mid-winter break.

Although it may be difficult for many local residents to believe, we have already passed the mid-point of the season and winter is actually on the wane.

It doesn’t seem possible, with snow on the ground, solid ice on the lakes and a below zero nip to the air, that winter is on the way out. Yet, on the calendar, spring arrives on March 20, only 35 days distant.

However, there remain a wealth of opportunities available for locals to get out and enjoy the winter season with a variety of classes, courses and events in the region that provide individuals the opportunity to learn or refine new outdoor skills.

I am always encouraged to learn of the numerous programs in the region that help to connect local children and their families to the pleasures and treasures of the Adirondacks.

Saranac Lake, which is now in its 113th year of hosting the longest-running, winter carnival in the nation, has a full schedule of events planned to get local folks outside.

The annual frying pan toss is always a crowd favorite.

For a complete Carnival schedule and agenda visit www.saranaclakewintercarnival.com or call the Chamber at 891-1990 for further information.

The counties of Clinton and Franklin have also developed an outstanding listing of local recreational resources that are available online at h t t p : / / w w w. s c r i b d . c o m / d o c / 11 9 5 4 1 2 9 / g e t - M o v i n g Guide-to-Physical Activity. The website features a variety of local events and programs that allow local residents to remain active and healthy.

Fun on mid-winter break As always, the Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department will offer a variety of free programs during the school vacation. Program offerings will include crosscountry skiing, ice skating and snowshoeing sessions.

A bit further north, the Clinton County Youth Bureau and the Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department are co-hosting a Family Winter Outdoor Adventure Program Feb. 17-19. The free, three-day program will introduce youths, 7 years of age and older, and their families to such skills as hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and environmental issues. Pre-registration is required for the program. To pre-register, contact the Clinton County Youth Bureau at 565-4750.

There will also be instructional archery classes available for children ages 8-13 at Gander Mountain on Feb. 16 and 18 from 6-7 p.m. Equipment will be provided at no cost and space is limited. Pre-registration is required by calling the Recreation Department at 562-6860.

Additionally, the Beartown Ski Area will provide free skiing and snowboarding on Feb. 14, from 6-9 p.m. and there will be Winter Disc Golf for youths ages 13 years and up, on Feb. 19, from noon-1 p.m. at the Cadyville Park Disc Golf Course. Skiing, snowshoes, golf and Frisbees, what a unique combination! For more information or to register, call the Town Recreation Department, at 562-6860, or visit their website, www.townofplattsburgh.com

Eric Jock took this magnificent picture of a Bald Eagle near his home in Cadyville Feb. 5. Jock said it was the first time he’d seen an eagle in the wild. Send your wildlife photos to John Gereau at johng@denpubs.com.
