Cricket’s celebrates 10 years serving the community Business is expanding to include catering at Harmony Golf Course

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PERU — When Paula Nephew and her husband, Dick, opened the doors of Cricket’s Restaurant in the fall of 1999, little did they know 10 years later they’d be more than a business, they’d be an important part of the community.

“We purchased the property in October that year and opened the 15th of November,” recalled Paula Nephew. “It all happened so fast.”

Nephew said she and her husband, each of whom had backgrounds in the restaurant industry prior to opening Cricket’s, opened the business after another restaurant at the Bear Swamp Road location had closed its doors.

“We needed a place to dine,” she said.

“The restaurant had closed and the opportunity came up and we jumped on it.”

The venture involved remodeling the building, receiving their liquor license and putting together a diverse menu they thought customers would enjoy, said Nephew.

“What’s nice about our menu is it isn’t See CRICKET’S, page 12

PLATTSBURGH — Clinton County Public Transit has a new home.

The public transit system moved Nov. 1 from its home of approximately three years off Military Turnpike to a new 7,600-square-foot facility on Arizona Avenue. The facility is comprised of renovated space from the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base’s education center and new construction, which allows for administrative duties to be performed at the site as well as daily maintenance, washing and repairs to the public transit system’s buses.

A ceremonial ribbon-cutting was held for the new CCPT headquarters

Deputy County Administrator Rodney L. Brown said many who knew the property for the former education center have been pleasantly surprised to see new life being breathed into the building.

“If this facility hadn’t been used for this purpose, I can’t imagine how long it would’ve taken to convert it to some other type of use,” said Brown. “The building was really in poor condition.”

Construction of the new facility, which included asbestos abatement and partial demolition of the former education center building, took a little See CCPT, page 13

Cindy Alexander new face of JCEO outreach center

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com SARANAC — Cindy Alexander is the new face of the outreach center in Saranac operated by the Joint Council for Economic Opportunity of Clinton and Franklin Counties.

Alexander replaced her predecessor, Cindy Waldron, Oct. 26 when Waldron was promoted to a position in the JCEO office in Plattsburgh.

“I learned they were looking for someone to fill Cindy’s position and it was close to home so I jumped on it,” said Alexander, who left her position as a special education job coach and teacher ’s aide with BOCES for the JCEO job.

In her new role, Alexander assists people with receiving assistance from the JCEO food pantry, the Home Energy Assistance

Program, and the JCEO home weatherization program.

“We do a little bit of everything,” said Alexander. “We basically help however we can.”

Alexander said it’s important for her to be in a position to help the community after the community showed overwhelming support for her following the recent passing of her daughter, Courtney. Alexander ’s daughter succumbed to injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident March 31.

“Everybody went above and beyond for me and my family and I just want to be able to give back,” she said. “It just feels nice to help people.”

The JCEO outreach center is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office may be reached by calling Alexander at 293-6661.

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will return to the North Country next week with stops in Rouses Point Thursday, Nov. 26, and Plattsburgh Monday, Nov. 30. The Holiday Train annually collects food and money for local food shelves and offers entertainment by various recording artists.

Holiday Train returning week of Thanksgiving jeremiah@denpubs.com It’s that time of year when Santa Claus can be seen traveling through the North Country — on the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train.

The Holiday Train will be making its way through the region next week, making stops from Rouses Point to Scranton, Pa., collecting food and money for local food shelves and offering some entertainment at the same time.

Michael LoVecchio, a representative for Canadian Pacific, said the Holiday Train program has helped raise more than $4 million and collect 2 million pounds of food since it began in 1999.

“When we started the Holiday Train program 11 years ago, the thought was we wanted a way for company employees to make a difference in the communities where they live,” explained LoVecchio.

The enthusiasm employees had for the idea was overwhelming, he added, with reaction in the communities equally as amazing.

“It’s very rewarding for CP employees to be able to do this, to be able to bring the Holiday Train to their communities,”

said LoVecchio, “because, at the end of the day, these people are their neighbors.

It’s nice to be able to do something for them.”

Each year, the Holiday Train stops and opens its boxcar stage for performances by various well-known recording artists.

This year, Shaun Verreault, best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist for the Canadian band Wide Mouth Mason, will return for a repeat performance. Verreault will be joined by contemporary American folk musician Willy Porter; Canadian singer and songwriter Adam Puddington; and Prescott, a brother and sister duo featuring third-generation Canadian musicians Kaylen and Kelly Prescott.

During each stop, the community is encouraged to bring donations for their local food shelf. Canadian Pacific then presents the donations and a check to the nonprofit organizations.

“Demand for food pantry services is way up, so we’re asking Holiday Train fans, as they do every year, to come down and to please be generous in their donations to their local food shelves,” said LoVecchio.

The stop in Rouses Point will benefit the food shelf at St. Patrick’s Church on Lake Street. The only other stop in Clin-

ton County — the Amtrak station in Plattsburgh — will benefit the Joint Council for Economic Opportunities of Clinton and Franklin Counties, which operates outreach centers throughout the North Country.

The Holiday Train’s first stop will be at the Amtrak station on Pratt Street in Rouses Point on the night of Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 26. The train is scheduled to stop at approximately 11 p.m. The train will continue on to stops in Pennsylvania and southern New York before returning to the North Country Monday, Nov. 30. On that day, the train will make stops in Saratoga Springs, Fort Edward, Whitehall, Ticonderoga and Port Henry before making its last stop at the Amtrak station in Plattsburgh at approximately 9:15 p.m.

In addition to the train visiting the Northeast, Canadian Pacific will also have Holiday Trains visiting more than 130 communities throughout the Midwest and Canada through mid-December.

t’s that time of the year again, the gathering for the Thanksgiving holiday and the plotting for a successful Black Friday shopping extravaganza. By leveraging the technology at our finger tips, savvy shoppers can gain the upper hand.

Everyone grabs the newspaper flyer and now quite a few visit the retailer ’s Web site for information. Another method is a simple visit to the retailer asking what the deals will be.

An all-in-one resource is the Black Friday Web site, which claims to be “…the official site for all of the 2009 Black Friday ads…” Find the site at www.blackfriday.info.

The best electronics deals this year are reported to be on netbooks, low-end laptops, televisions and peripherals like Blu-ray and other players. There’s no doubt some great deals can be found but, given the nature of crash and dash Black Friday, the browsing time is zilch so preparation is key.

Once the deals are found, take the time to investigate a few days ahead of time to determine if the item is good enough quality to meet the need. This is especially important if a gigantic TV is on the wish list. Understand the hookup in the store and consider if the hookup at home is similar. Know the clarity on the set is driven by the input, so ask the associate to explain how the set in the store is con-

Another secret: Some days are better than others

O

ver the past few months, I’ve shared a lot of the best secrets for saving on your grocery bill with coupons. But are you ready for one of the biggest secrets of all? Even more surprisingly, this one does not involve a single coupon.

The day of the week we shop makes a huge difference how much money we can save To understand this tip, consider this: Many grocery stores run two sales cycles each week.

One flier comes out on Thursday and runs for seven days. This is the “long” cycle, which runs Thursday-to-Wednesday. But the same stores often have a second sales flier that comes out on Sundays and runs for four days. This is the “short” cycle, which runs Sunday-to-Wednesday.

Now, look at a calendar and pay attention to the days. There are four days each week when both cycles and sales fliers overlap: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If your store participates in two sales cycles, these are the days you want to shop in order to maximize your savings. By shopping Monday through Wednesday, you gain the advantage of two concurrent sales rather than just one.

Why do stores do this? Look at the remaining three days in the week: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These are busy days for a grocery store. Statistically speaking, they’re also the days people are most likely to shop without much forethought. The weekend is approaching, the workweek is almost done and people head to the store. By contrast, when Sunday rolls around and the new week arrives, store traffic drops off. The store issues more sales and more deals on those days in order to drive traffic back into the store. These are the days we want to shop!

People often ask me how many times I’m at the grocery store during the week (I can’t imagine why, but many people are under the impression that I practically live there!) The truth is much less exciting. I really do shop just once a week.

But I always shop on one of the days when both sales fliers are active.

Another reason to shop earlier in the week is stores will raise prices on many items later in the week. My store recently had a sale on a brand-name cereal. At $1.25 a box, it was already a great price; with a $1 coupon, I took it home for a quarter. That sale ran Sunday through Wednesday. On Thursday, the same cereal was still on “sale,” but the new sale price? $2.50 a box. The price doubled in one day! This is one of those hidden little games the stores play, too. The same items may be on sale, but the sale price is a

By Jill Cataldo lot less attractive as the higher-traffic shopping days approach If you never clipped a single coupon, you would save a great deal of money just by shopping earlier in the week. If I had purchased my cereal on Thursday instead of Wednesday, I would have paid twice the price! Now, think about many other items in the grocery store take similar jumps in prices as the end of the week nears, and you’ll see why it makes sense to shop on the days the sales overlap.

If you need even more convincing, consider what happens when the same product is on sale in both sales fliers. I’ve seen crackers on sale for $1.99 in the long-cycle flier while in the short cycle flier, the same crackers were on sale Buy One, Get One Free! The smart shopper who is in the store on the days that the sales overlap, will not only get the crackers for $1.99, they’ll take home a second package for free. And if they use a coupon on each box ... Oh, the possibilities!

and eaten throughout the winter. Our apple growers store apples in cold storage, allowing area residents the opportunity to eat local apples throughout the winter.

Vegetables such as carrots, winter squash, potatoes, turnip, cabbage, rutabaga, onion, and garlic can all be stored in a cool, dark environment for a few months.

Farmers store this produce throughout the winter and continue to sell to local community members.

More and more grocery stores, especially locally owned markets, are purchasing at least a portion of their products from local farmers and producers. Many of these store owners will advertise what produce is local, making it easy to identify as locally grown.

Adirondack Harvest, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to local foods, helps connect consumers with producers.

Kipps Plumbing, McGee’s Auto Sales, The Candy Man, Linda Kirkum, McCadams, Plattsburgh Distributing, Gramma Reandeau and Marrissa for getting all of the posters. Thank you!

I would like to thank everyone who helped all day in the kitchen and drawings and whatnot. My sissy Charlene Branham, Louise Sorrell, Perle, Jenn, Irene Rock, Loucinda Fountain, Terry and Linda Hayes, Sheryl Esposito, and a big thanks to MaryLou and Steve Burdo and Connie Giles — without you guys I couldn’t have done it.

And, last, but not least, the bands Denim, 4 Fathers, Mero Factor, Bootleg with special thanks to Hal, and a huge, huge thank you to John Mahoney and the Angry Neighbors band for hosting the whole day and making everything work perfect. If it wasn’t for you, we never could have pulled it off.

ou may have been noticing how much more we, as a community, are urged to buy local. Some of these reasons include getting to know your local farmers, experiencing foods selected for flavor instead of shelf life, and bolstering the local economy.

Now as the warmth of summer has faded and the first signs of winter are making their annual appearances, most farm stands and farmers markets have closed for the season, leaving you to wonder where you can acquire locally-produced foods?

Since we do not live in a climate that allows produce to be grown year-round, it would be impossible to find certain types of locally-grown produce such as fresh strawberries in January. But, you can find some produce that has been grown under hightunnels, protective row covers, or in greenhouses through the end of November and starting in the late winter/very early spring.

More and more growers in our area are realizing the benefits of investing in season extension and as a result, we can purchase fresh salad greens long after the fall frost has killed our garden grown greens and long before we could ever get our greens into our gardens in the spring.

In addition to season extension, there is quite a bit of local produce that can be stored

Thanks to: * Peru Republican Party for endorsing me as your candidate, I hope that I have served you well. * Everyone who wrote a letter or allowed me to place a sign on your lawn. Public service is a decision that one makes on an individual basis. For so many to come to bat on my behalf has warmed my heart. * To all of the residents that opened your doors to me. * To the news media for working so hard.

Anyone I have encountered has been extremely helpful and kind. I truly believe that you have been fair and allowed everyone to play on a level playing field. * To the contributors of my campaign, your thoughtfulness, generosity and support will remain close in my heart forever. * To my family: my father and brother for making so many telephone calls! My sister and brother-in-law, sister-in-law and mother-in-law, your support was endless! I love you all and hope that I have made you proud. I am lucky to have all of you in my life. To my brother, Mike and his family, you have shown all of us the true meaning of fight, courage and what family means. * Lastly, my husband, John, children Morgan, Will and Maddy. I know that whatever happens will be OK. You have given me the strength to carry on. Win or lose, we all know what kind of game we played. We were strong, we played fair and we all learned how to be good sports!

I hope that we all take positive experiences away from this and learn and remember how to be respectable neighbors and residents in a town that I love to call home.

High Peaks Dental, Julie Kramer honored by BPW

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PERU — The Champlain Valley Business and Professional Women’s Club has named its honorees for Employer of the Year and Business Woman of the Year.

High Peaks Dental and Julie A. Kramer were given the recognition, respectively, during a ceremony at Cricket’s Restaurant Oct. 27.

High Peaks Dental, with practices in Lake Placid and Plattsburgh, was nominated by Madeline R. Morrissey, Westport, who serves as office manager. Morrissey credited Drs. Michael T. O’Connor, William P. Caldon, and Donnon “D.J.” O’Neill for being responsive to her needs as an employee. She particularly referred to her experience after suffering a stroke in April 2003, which resulted in her being hospitalized at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Mass.

“The support I received from the doctors was overwhelming,” Morrissey wrote in her nomination letter. “They were flexible with my schedule and they went above and beyond to accommodate my needs.

I truly feel the obstacles that they helped me overcome helped me in my recovery.”

The doctors also emphasize the importance of continuing education and encourage their employs to do so when possible, she added.

Morrissey had a General Educational Development (GED) certificate when she started at High Peaks Dental, but, with help from the doctors, she went back to high school and received her diploma and has begun attending continuing education courses and attended business and professional training.

The dedication to their employees also extends to their patients, Morrissey continued. The doctors continue to strive for being on the cutting edge of dentistry to provide better service for them, she noted. Their commitment also led to the founding of Dentistry from the Heart NY, an organization

which has provided $40,000 in free dental care to adults in need in the North Country. The practice also goes to local schools and health fairs emphasizing the importance of dental health.

“I strongly believe that High Peaks Dental exemplifies the traits that BPW recognizes as outstanding in an employer,” wrote Morrissey.

Caldon said he and his colleagues were honored to learn High Peaks Dental was selected as Employer of the Year.

“It was very moving. We were extremely flattered,” said Caldon.

“We’re thrilled we’ve been recognized for taking care of the people who work for us. I guess a lot of times you don’t know the impact that you have on people.”

“This is really an inspiration to do even more for the people who work for us,” he added. “It was really nice to be recognized.”

Kramer, who serves as vice president of Nine Platt Hospitality Group — owners of the Best Western hotel in Plattsburgh and Ground Round restaurants in Plattsburgh and Burlington, Vt.— was surprised with her recognition as Business Woman of the Year.

She was in attendance for the dinner under the impression the award was to be given to her friend, Faith M. Osborne Long, regional director of the American Heart Association. As the letters of nomination were read, Kramer was still under that impression until the nominations — which are traditionally read using “this person” or “the nominee” in place of the person’s actual name — mentioned her service in the Army Reserves.

“I realized then they weren’t talking about Faith,” said Kramer, laughing.

Kramer ’s name was announced

and her husband, Rocky, and son, Dalton, emerged from a separate room with more of Kramer ’s family and friends.

“It was a surprise,” said Kramer.

“I was shocked. They really got me pretty good.”

One of the nominations read during the dinner was actually written by Osborne Long, who credited Kramer for being “a role model for women who, through her example and leadership, makes both the business where she works and the North County community a better place for all of us.”

Osborne Long also credited Kramer for her support of organizations such as the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties and the Make-A-Wish Foundation and causes such as the Plattsburgh Heart Walk and Go Red for Women. Kramer has also been able to motivate Nine Platt Hospitality Group’s more than 100 employees on both sides of Lake Champlain to get involved in their communities as well.

“I enjoy giving back to the community and, most of all, I enjoy engaging our employees to assist me in that,” said Kramer, who serves as the 2009 Go Red for Women chairperson. “It’s nice, because through organizations like Go Red for Women, the Heart Walk, the United Way, they can give back to the community and it makes them feel good.”

“Julie Kramer manages to fit more into her day than often seems humanly possible for one woman, but if you ask her to do something she will get it done, and often before deadline,” Osborne Long wrote, adding Kramer is “a personal role model for me of what a business woman, mother, friend and community member should be.”

What’s Kramer ’s secret to getting everything done?

“I’ve always pushed myself. It’s just the way I grew up,” she said.

“I don’t look for this type of recognition. I do what I do every day because it’s a natural thing for me.

It’s just something that came from my family.”

Roy Perry inducted into Donation Hall of Fame Seventy-seven-year-old has donated 152 pints of blood since 1996

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PERU — Roy E. Perry considers himself “just an ordinary guy giving blood.” However, to the North Country Regional Blood Donor Center, he’s much more.

The donor center located in Plattsburgh hosted a ceremony Nov. 18 naming Perry as the newest inductee to the Donation Hall of Fame, an annual honor bestowed by Fenwal Blood Technologies which recognizes those who have “demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to blood donation.”

The 77-year-old was nominated by the blood center administration for his “loyalty to being a blood donor over the years,” said lead phlebotomist Martha Algier.

“You fill the room with your cheerful personality and with your great outlook on life. you’re a true inspiration,” said Algier.

Shaun Debold, a representative from Fenwal, congratulated Perry for his dedication to giving blood, adding the hall of fame was established to recognize commitment like his in donating blood.

“Roy, you certainly personify that in every way from all that I have heard,” said Algier.

“You’ve done so much for our patients here and we just want to say thanks and congratulations,” added Stephens M. Mundy, chief executive officer of CVPH Medical Center, which oversees operation of the blood donor center.

Since 1996, Perry has donated 152 pints, or 19 gallons, to the North Country Regional Blood Donor Center. However, Perry said his donating dates back much further.

“I started donating back in college,” said Perry, who graduated from college in 1954. “Then, I donated while I was in the Marine Corps.”

Perry would be a donor today had he not been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. His condition makes him ineligible to donate until he has been declared cancer-free for five years.

“By then, I’ll be 82,” Perry exclaimed, adding he’d still like to donate then if he’s able. “The worst thing about finding out I have cancer is that I can’t give blood.”

Though he can’t donate, Perry isn’t resting on his laurels. He’s found a new way to help the blood donor center by being an advocate for blood donation, encouraging people to give “the

gift of life.”

“I always say that you have the gift of life running through your veins,” said Perry. “It doesn’t cost anything to give and you could help save someone’s life.”

Perry’s recognition included receiving a glass award and being featured in a 2010 calendar created to honor dedicated blood donors.

The Turkey Trot: a Thanksgiving tradition for the North Country

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PERU — The Peru Lions Club has celebrated a traditional holiday for the last 32 years in an untraditional way.

Every Thanksgiving, the nonprofit community service organization steps away from the tradition of football, turkey and relaxation and takes part in something a little different — The John P. Adams Memorial Turkey Trot. “[Adams] was a runner himself,” said co-founder Larry Ewald. “He was interested in it and thought it would be a good thing for the Lions Club to get behind.”

Today, the race sees nearly 400 competitors from all around the North Country and beyond. Racers begin at Peru Intermediate School and can compete in a one-mile fun run, a 5-kilometer or a 10kilometer race, throughout a local orchard.

“I think running is getting to be more popular these days,” Ewald said. “As a result, I think people look forward to it.”

Ewald has found some people have competed in the Turkey Trot nearly every year since it began.

“We’ve had these Turkey Trots in driving snow storms.

Yet the people still show up,” laughed Ewald.

Every year, the race begins

at 9 a.m., yet Ewald is urging people this year to show up well in advance.

“Always at 9 a.m. we’ve got a line,” Ewald said. “People trying to squeeze in there.”

Ewald believes one of the reasons the Turkey Trot has become such a tradition is because it’s a time for people to get out and socialize with their neighbors.

“A lot of these people don’t see each other all year,” Ewald said.

Another aspect of the race that keeps it so traditional, is it never changes.

“It’s pretty much the same each year,” Ewald explained.

“I think we’ve run the same set up probably the last 10 years. It’s pretty definite. People ... seem to enjoy the fact that it is carried out the same way each year.”

The entry fee for the 5- and 10-kilometer racers is $15 and the fun run entry fee is $5. The winner of each race will receive a turkey and a trophy.

There will also be turkeys raffled off to those interested.

Other prizes will be raffled off at random to anyone entered in one of the three races.

The fun run begins at 9 a.m., with the 5- and 10-kilometer races immediately following. Sign-up begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Peru Intermediate School cafeteria.

For more information contact Ewald at 643-8506 or Jim McCarty at 561-1572.

tatistically speaking, Americans are extremely generous. Consider the fact that in 2008, charitable giving in the United States exceeded $300 billion for the second year in a row — despite the fact many people in every part of the country are feeling the strains of recession and job loss.

One of the reasons charitable giving has remained strong is the variety of options that exist for giving and the fact many donations can be taken as tax deductions. Here are some of the most common — and most convenient — ways to give: • Write a check — Traditionally, this has been the most common way to donate. Many organizations hold annual fundraising campaigns through the mail or the media, and writing a check once or more each year is still convenient for many people. It’s important to make sure, however, the organization you’re supporting is legitimate. Never send money to an organization you’re not familiar with or whose solicitation materials are suspect.

• The gift of goods — Many people donate their used or unwanted items to charities, thrift shops, schools or shelters. These donations are typically taxdeductible, so be sure to ask for a receipt.

• Shop for a cause — Today, an increasing number of purchases can support charitable causes, from name-brand products linked to charitable organizations, such as the Product(Red) items from Apple, the Gap, Starbucks, and other major retailers that trigger donations to fight AIDS in Africa; to brand-specific programs, such as the commitment by TOMS Shoes to give away a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair it sells.

• Make a microloan — A number of organizations have been established in recent years that specialize in microlending — the making of small loans to individuals or small groups in impoverished areas to encourage entrepreneurship. Kiva (www.kiva.org) is among the best known and most successful microlending organizations worldwide.

• One-stop giving — Network for Good is an exciting and convenient resource for making charitable donations online. The organization’s Web site (www.networkforgood.org) allows you to research and give to any of 1.5 million charities. The site also stores your donation history for tax purposes and keeps a list of your favorite charities.

• Where there’s a will, there’s a way — Many people designate gifts to charity in their wills. These bequests can be in the form of a specific amount of money, a portion of an estate, a particular asset, a trust or the naming of an organization as a beneficiary. Wills can also specify how the donation is to be used, such as for a specific program, for scholarship or endowment funds or for use in a particular geographic region.

We carry scale models, pedal riding tractors and remote control backhoes.

Other items to donate • Vehicles — Many charitable organizations will accept donations of cars in almost any condition— running or not. Typically, these organizations will pick up the cars, sell them and use the proceeds to fund their programs. Not only can donating an old car be easier than selling it yourself, but you can claim the car ’s value as a tax deduction.

• Computers and other tech gear — Many charitable and nonprofit organizations, particularly schools and religious organizations, will accept donations of computers, fax machines, printers and other tech gear if they are still useable.

• Food — Donations of canned or packaged goods can be made to local food banks and shelters. On the Feeding America Web site (www.feedingamerica.org) prospective donors can find a food bank in your community, volunteer opportunities and ways to donate money to combat hunger.

• Pet supplies — The Humane Society (www.hsus.org) can put prospective donors in touch with animal shelters in your area that would welcome donations of unopened pet food and items such as cages, food/water bowls and leashes.

• Eyeglasses — Your old eyeglasses can be recycled for use by people in need.

Groups such as Lions Clubs can recycle an old pair of eyeglasses for as little as eight cents each. Ask if there is a Lions Club collection box in your community. Old eyeglasses can also be dropped off at any Goodwill Industries collection site and LensCrafters store.

• Musical instruments — Give the gift of music to a child by donating your old musical instruments to a local school. Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation (www.mhopus.org) will refurbish instruments and donate them to underfunded school music programs.

Cricket’s

Christmas tree lighting Dec. 4

From page 1 just Italian, it isn’t just French cuisine. It’s a little bit of everything,” said Nephew. “Someone could come in and have a pizza and someone could come in and have surf and turf, all at the same table. So, there’s something for everyone.”

When the national economy began seeing signs of distress last year, Nephew said she didn’t know what to expect. However, by offering a menu where a family of four can dine for less than $20, Cricket’s has been able to avoid feeling the pinch some businesses have seen in the recession.

“We really haven’t seen that many effects [from the recession],” said Nephew. “I think that’s because we’re so diverse in what we offer and because we make it affordable enough for families to be able to go out once a week or once a month without having to bring their entire savings for dining.”

Having nightly specials — like ones for senior citizens Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays — has also helped business, Nephew said.

“Seniors can get an all-inclusive meal on those days that has a smaller portion, but comes with a beverage and our dessert of the day. It’s just enough for them but they get everything, and it’s affordable,” said Nephew.

And, offering a children’s menu that has staples like hamburgers and macaroni and cheese, makes a difference, Nephew added.

“You’ve got to have mac and cheese on the menu. You just have to,” she said with a laugh.

What’s also helped Cricket’s become a main-

stay in the community has been its banquet room. The ability to accommodate large parties and host receptions has drawn people from not only Peru, but other communities as well, said Nephew.

“We host banquets for places like CV-Tec and most of the local credit unions,” said Nephew.

“December is also our busiest month because of the holiday gatherings, office parties, traditional family dinners we do. There’s always something going on in the banquet room.”

Though having the right facility and the right menu makes up for a good portion of drawing customers, said Nephew, it’s developing strong bonds with them that creates repeat business.

“We have some customers that, when they come in, they have to sit at a certain booth and if it’s not available, they wait,” Nephew said with a smile. “We have a tremendous amount of customers who’ve really become our friends.

And, with some of them it feels like they’re part of our family now.”

Terry and Shawn Lydamore of Lewis have been coming to Cricket’s since the business opened and said it’s been the friendly faces and inviting atmosphere that has kept them coming back ever since.

“When you come here, you feel like you’re at home,” said Shawn Lydamore, as she and her husband attended an anniversary party for Cricket’s Nov. 15.

“It’s not like a franchise,” added her husband. “They’re fantastic people and they do all sorts of things for the community.”

Nephew said she feels giving back to the community — whether it’s purchasing equipment for the Peru Central School District, sponsoring local sports teams or collecting donations for the local food shelf — only makes sense.

“It’s important to us, because without them, without our customers, we wouldn’t have a business,” said Nephew.

That sense of community is what draws customers like the Lydamores back to a business they say is more than the typical chain restaurant.

“They’re good people and, more important, they’re good friends,” said Shawn Lydamore.

What’s next for Cricket’s? Nephew said the business will begin catering for Harmony Golf Course in Port Kent next year.

“The purveyors of the golf course, who are friends of ours, approached us about the idea and we felt the timing was just right,” said Nephew. “We’ve wanted to get into catering and this was a great way to start. We’ve already got two weddings booked there. We’re excited.”

Nephew said she doesn’t know what else is in store for the next 10 years, but said she plans to continue offering Cricket’s patrons the same friendly service and affordable dining they’ve grown accustomed to and plans on making more friends.

“We’re just going to continue doing what we’re doing,” said Nephew. “Hopefully we’re here for a long, long time.”

From page 1 more than a year, though the discussion and efforts to relocate the CCPT offices and garage date back to 2002, said Brown.

After overcoming several obstacles, the project has finally come to fruition, said Clinton County Legislature Chairman James R. Langley Jr., R-Area 7.

“The transformation is stunning,” said Langley.

The overall price tag for development of the new facility came in at just under $3 million, said Langley. The majority of the cost was covered by a $1.6 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant and a $1.2 million Federal Transit Agency matching grant, of which the county share was $140,000. Additionally, the Plattsburgh Airbase Redevelopment Corporation leased the property to the county at no cost until the title of the property was transferred to the county this week. The cost of the property itself was $1.

“Dollar for dollar, it’s almost as good a buy for the local taxpayers as the old airport building that we overlook,” Langley said, referring to the investment made in the development of Plattsburgh International Airport. “I know I speak for all of the legislators on the transportation committee when I tell you they are very proud of this building.”

“Clinton County Public Transit is a great success,” said state DOT representative Stephanie Mielnik, “and with this garage, I can see it having much more success in the future.”

The CCPT began its operation Feb. 14, 1983, then known as the Clinton Area Rural Transit, or CART, system. The service began with three 12-passenger vans traveling from the city to rural locations and averaged 7,215 passengers a year. The operation has since expanded to its fleet of 16 buses which includes two senior and two paratransit buses. The service consists of three intracity routes and rural routes to Rouses Point, Champlain, Mooers, Churbusco, Ausable, Riverview, Standish, Peru and other locations annually serving approximately 150,000 passengers.

ADIRONDACK OUTDOORS • CLINTON TODAY - 15

Man battles for his life with monster buck as he tossed small chunks of wood into the bucket of a skid steer he owns.

A lifelong native of Moira, Dabiew said he paid little attention when a large buck crossed the road in front of him.

After all, he’d seen plenty of deer in the woods near his home, but the sequence of events that was about to play out was something Dabiew had never seen, or heard of before.

“They don’t usually walk right up to you, but this deer was coming right at me,” he recalled.

At 30 feet, the buck lowered his antlers and charged.

Knocked to the ground and fighting for his life, all Dabiew could think was he had to defend himself or the deer was going to kill him.

“So I fought with it. I wrapped my legs

G

erald Dabiew Jr. said he feels lucky to be alive after a near 20-minute battle with a 10-point buck last Friday during which he was repeatedly slammed to the ground by the powerful animal.

“I have never been so scared in all my life,” the 56-year-old said about the harrowing ordeal that transpired near his remote home in Moira — a small community at the northern tip of the Adirondack Park outside Malone.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,” Dabiew said in a low voice, then added “... and I never want to see it again.”

Dabiew said the story unfolded as he was collecting firewood along a log road behind his home. It was early afternoon and clear skies made the job more bearable

around its neck and locked my arms and hands in its horns and squeezed for all I was worth as it pounded me into the ground,” he said.

Minutes seemed like hours as the huge buck continuously picked Dabiew’s 230pound frame up atop its head and slammed him to the ground, driving him into rocks and stumps.

Exhausted, Dabiew said it was all he could do to hold on, but he was sure the deer would gore him if he let go and adrenaline kept him battling on.

Luckily, Dabiew said he wasn’t the only one getting tired.

“He was tired himself, slowing down and breathing heavy,” Dabiew said. “He couldn’t move his head without moving me with it.”

Eventually, however, Dabiew could hold on no longer, and his grip on the antlers slipped. As he fell backward, he kicked at the deer, causing it to rear up and rake the side of his face with its hooves.

Then, Dabiew saw his opening.

“After that, he walked a few feet away, stopped and just stood there looking back at me. That gave me time to pull myself into the skid steer. I wasn’t about to stick around for anymore,” he said.

Bruised, bloodied and covered in mud, Dabiew used his cell phone to call for help.

X-Rays showed no broken bones, but Dabiew was left with cuts and bruises all over his body as well as a gored right hand.

“I’m black and blue from head to toe,” he said.

A longtime corrections officer at Upstate Correctional, Dabiew said he doesn’t scare easy.

“But I knew this thing was trying to kill me,” he said. “That is a feeling you never forget.”

Dabiew said he cannot speculate what might of provoked the buck. He said a friend suggested the sound of the wood hitting the inside of the skid steer ’s bucket might have sounded like antlers rattling together.

The sound of two bucks fighting often makes a dominant buck aggressive — especially during breeding season, which happens in November in the Adirondacks.

While Dabiew said he has never hunted, he said he’ll think twice before going back in the woods unarmed — especially during breeding season.

“Who would think that the thing would do something like that,” he said.

“That deer was pissed.”
