HEART OF A HORSE
ELIZABETHTOWN
PHYLLIS WELLS
By Shaun Kittle shaun@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Katherine Call-Morin has always been a writer. But it wasn’t until last year that she published her first book, a children’s story called “Heart of a Horse.” “I’m one of those closet writers,” Call-Morin said. “I’ve written many, many children’s stories, and I’ve written adult short stories too.” Last spring, she self-published 250 copies of her book through Living Water publishers in Vermont. Call-Morin, who lives in Plattsburgh, said “Heart of a Horse” has sold well, so she recently had 150 more copies printed. She isn’t solely responsible

Plattsburgh resident Tom Pillsworth works to clear his driveway following last Thursday’s snowstorm. Parts of the Northern Tier saw as much as 16 inches of the white stuff before it was all said and done.
PLATTSBURGH — As a thick snowfall steadily accumulated on the ground, Tom Pillsworth worked to clear a path in his driveway with his shovel. But he didn’t grumble, bundled up with a twinkle in his eye as he gazed out at the white blanket on the ground. “This reminds me of why I live here,” he said. “It’s beautiful.” He sails all summer and cannot imagine living anywhere else. As soon as he finished shoveling, Pillsworth planned to hit the slopes. A few blocks over, Mathew Katz walked his dog, Mighty. “I’m not crazy about it.” Mighty didn’t appear to like it either. “He’s picky about where he goes to the bathroom and no one has shoveled their driveway.” But it’s the North Country, Katz sighed, and snow is part of living here. “We haven’t had much in a couple years,” he said. “I think this year we are going to get hit. “You just gotta grin and bear it.”
