New lecture series puts twist on the typical

New thrift store to benefit the Northern Tier

By Sarah L. Cronk

The parishioners saw a need for the thrift store due to the current economy.

“In the Mooers area, there’s very little outreach for community members for something like this,” explained Johnson, “and if you see any of our recent news, national news, you see the thrift stores are growing in popularity.”

Johnson’s mother, Cora Smith, agreed with her daughter.

“Our mission is to reach out ... to the community to know that we’re here for them if there’s a need,” she explained.

The store offers gentlyused clothing for all ages and sizes, for $1-2 a piece, with some special items going for $5-10.

sarah@denpubs.com MOOERS FORKS — About a year ago, members of the Mooers United Methodist Church began thinking about having a thrift store in the area. Now, their dreams have come to fruition.

On Jan. 10, an estimated 100 people from Mooers Forks and surrounding communities attended the grand opening of the Souled Out Thrift Store, located at 20 Blackman Road, also known as the old Agway building.

“Jack Dragoon offered this building [in the fall],” explained organizer Dee Johnson. “He offered us this building rent free for a year to use and see where we are after a year.”

CHAZY — Instead of listening to the same topic for an undetermined amount of time, Amanda Palmer, curator at the Alice T. Miner Museum, has decided to have a different kind of lecture series.

The Half & Half Lecture Series, which will be held at the museum on State Route 9, will present two different lecturers talking about two seemingly unrelated topics, for a half-hour each.

The idea originated last summer when Palmer was surfing the Web. After finding a site for a museum out west with a similar idea, she wondered if the lecture series would be of interest to people in the area.

After sending out letters to some people at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, Palmer See LECTURES, page 7

Beechwood Dreams captures North Country on keepsakes

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com ROUSES POINT — In a process that takes just minutes, Jim Gadue can capture the spirit of the North Country onto a mug, T-shirt or magnet.

Jim, a graduate of the Hallmark Institute of Photography, has been following in his father ’s footsteps all his life.

“My father was a photographer all while I was growing up and that got me interested in becoming a photographer,” Jim explained.

In 2001, his father, Richard, went on a tour of Washington, D.C., and saw some mugs that captured images from the nation’s capital at a local corner store.

“That impressed me,” he recalled.

Richard realized he should take some of

his own photos and try to create his own mugs.

“It was in my mind. All those mugs,” Richard said. “I had all these pictures that I wasn’t using anymore. So, I said, ‘I wonder if I could put my pictures on mugs.’”

As a resident of Swanton, Vt., Richard knew he wanted to capture the Vermont side of the lake, selling numerous mugs, which he continues to do today.

Four years ago, however, Jim decided to create his own business by putting his photographs on mugs.

Today, Jim and his wife, Donna, own Beechwood Dreams, and produce numerous mugs for fundraising, business promotions, weddings and for personal interests.

“I did a whole bunch of [mugs] for the Quadricentennial,” Jim explained. “Then, a

United Way closing in on fundraising goal

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. has almost reached its fundraising goal, but there is still work to be done.

John C. Bernardi, executive director of the local United Way, said the nonprofit organization has raised approximately 75 percent of its $700,000 goal. Bernardi gave members of the media an update during a press conference Jan. 14.

“We’re doing pretty well,” said Bernardi.

“We think it’s going to be very close, however, and we really would like to rally the community to help us close the gap and finish the campaign.”

Bernardi estimated the campaign needs approximately $30,000 that is “not yet projected or expected” prior to the campaign ending the first week of February. That amount is “comparable” to the amount needed at this point in the annual campaign when compared to recent years, he said.

“We had the same issue last year,” said Bernardi, who attributed much of the difficulty for the 2008-09 fundraising campaign to the troubled state of the economy. “Every year it’s difficult to cross the finish line, but I think the biggest factor that has created the challenge this year is a reduced workforce.”

Companies which have announced layoffs or closures in the past year have put a dent in the campaign based off the amounts pledged by their employees in previous

Understanding virtual machines: Part two

,

L

Adirondack Humane Society

ast week, we introduced virtual machines, this week we look at two examples.

Recall some types of VMs run as an application on a host operating system while there are others that do not need a host OS. The VM we look at that needs a host OS is Windows Virtual PC. The other VM, that doesn’t need an OS, is VMware’s ESXi. Windows Virtual PC, formerly Microsoft Virtual PC, comes with some versions of Windows 7. It supports the running of other, usually older, Windows OS like XP but it works as well with other operating systems like Linux.

The only drawback is users will not find support from Microsoft for non-Windows operating systems. The main use of Microsoft Virtual PC is providing an easy method for Windows 7 users to run older Windows applications, which was a big problem with Vista.

VMware’s ESXi is a free program that supports the running of multiple operating systems simultaneously, each self-contained in a virtual space apart from each other. The main use of ESXi, apart from learning virtual machine operation, is running multiple operating systems, typically servers, on a sin-

gle physical computer.

A number of advantages come from virtual machines. The amount of energy and physical space used by one VM is far less than multiple physical computers and data backup is simplified. One substantial computer VMing multiple servers is individually expensive but overall cheaper than multiple physical servers. Some Internet users fearful of malware are using VMs to access the Web. Any malware contracted is contained within the VM, never the host. They simply delete and recreate the VM if infection is suspected.

The disadvantages of VMs include lower

By Ron Poland efficiency because of indirect hardware access and if the VM computer faults it immediately affects all the running virtual machines.

Looking at supermarkets vs. supercenters

I

n my Super-Couponing classes, I’m often asked whether it’s easier just to shop at a supercenter, large grocery-discount store combinations that offer “every-day low prices,” or shop at a traditional, “more expensive” supermarket using coupons to achieve greater savings. If you’ve used coupons for any length of time, you know it’s possible to achieve much better savings at the supermarket by following the sales and matching them with coupons.

The reason? Believe it or not, the “every-day low price” strategy is the culprit. Supercenters maintain low prices, avoiding the traditional cycle of sales and price cuts common at supermarket chains. At a supercenter, a $2.50 box of cereal will sell for $2.50 this week, next week and three weeks from now.

Meanwhile, over at the supermarket, the price of the same brand of cereal is fluctuating from high to low. It may be $2.99 one week, $2.49 the next and $1.99 the next.

Many shoppers find comfort and a sense of confidence in knowing what prices will be, week after week, at a supercenter. But the truth is price fluctuations make supermarkets the best places to shop for someone who’s trying to save even more money.

As we’ve learned, making the most of the supermarket’s price cycle can be advantageous to shoppers. When the price of a certain cereal brand takes a dip to $1.99, it’s less expensive than the supercenter ’s price. That’s when we move in and use our coupons to bring the price down even more. Sure, we could use the same coupon at the every-day low-price store.

But when the sale price of the item at the supermarket drops below the every-day low price of the supercenter, we save even more buying the item at the supermarket.

Recently, a new supercenter opened in my town. During its grand opening the store was abuzz with people lining up, excitedly waiting to take advantage of the low prices. I was curious to compare the new supercenter ’s prices with those at other supermarkets in our area. I had just been to the super-

market the previous day and I had my receipt showing the sale prices (before my coupon savings) on 21 different items.

As I strolled the aisles of the new store, I was shocked to see the difference in prices on the same items I’d just purchased at the supermarket.

What shocked me was how high they were.

Of the 21 items on my receipt, 14 of the products’ “every-day” prices were significantly higher at the supercenter than the sale prices I’d paid one day earlier at the supermarket — in some cases, several dollars’ more on a single item. Six of the products I

By Jill Cataldo purchased were more expensive at the supermarket, but we’re talking pennies more, not dollars — in many cases, the difference between $1.97 and $1.99. And while it’s true the regular prices of the supermarket sale items are often higher, smart shoppers aren’t paying those regular prices. We watch for sales and price drops, then move in and buy what we need when the price hits that low.

Again, while I certainly could have used my coupons at the supercenter to buy the same products, I brought the supermarket’s lower prices down even more by using my coupons there.

Low prices aren’t the only aspect of saving big, however.

Supermarkets often offer additional promotions that can cut your grocery bill significantly. Next week, I’ll share the rest of this story and you’ll see how I took those groceries home from the supermarket for 69 percent less than I would have paid using the same coupons on the same items at the supercenter!

NORTH COUNTRYMAN - 5 Someone Cares!

• No Charge • Strictly Confidential

Shining a light on your garden is simple

N

ow that the holiday season is done, our yards, doorways, and gardens are once again dark early in the winter evenings. By adding some simple non-holiday lighting to your garden you can enhance the look of your home and create a stunning night design for any season. Three simple ways to do so are with solar lights, spotlights, and accent lights.

Lightening outdoor gardens with solar lights creates a soft light at dusk and into the evening. These lights can be simple path markers or more elaborate and decorative designs. For garden walkways, simply line the walkway every one to two feet with a solar light or randomly scatter the lights along the path. Alternatively, you can place solar lights in the font of a garden bed near lowgrowing plants so they shine through the flowers or plants. These lights also look nice under shade trees, around any ground covers or accent plants growing under the tree.

Spotlights look lovely lighting up large trees with character such as birch or oak. You can choose between a solar spotlight or one that requires an electrical outlet. To use a spotlight, simply insert the light into the ground so light shines up onto the trunk of the tree and through the canopy. Depending on the size of the tree, you may wish to use two spotlights — one on either side of the trunk. Spotlights can

also be used with shrubs or to light up accent plantings. As an added benefit, spotlights can also help light up the house to boost security around your home.

Another way to use lights outdoors is with accent lights.

Simply attach a string of outdoor lights under arbors, pergolas, or porches. During the summer, these lights beckon you outside to enjoy an evening meal with friends and family. During the dark winter months, these lights brighten up the garden and allow you to reminisce about the summer months spent in the garden.

Garden lighting can fit almost any budget.

Solar lights help reduce long-term energy costs as do low energy LED lights. And, sometimes one simple light can make a huge difference.

Several years ago, my in-laws placed one spotlight by a Scotch pine to create a stunning look.

Sadly the tree had to be removed due to disease, but because of the simple, yet elegant lighting effect, I can still visualize the tree’s grace and beauty.

Stop griping, Hackett Mr. Hackett talks about a “pay to play” recreational fee for those who regularly enjoy the outdoors in the state of New York, particularly the Adirondack Park. The basic premise of his article (and I quote) is that “100% of the money paid by hunters and anglers for license fees go directly back to conservation” and when they buy equipment part of that money also goes to conservation. He feels that it is high time for everyone to pay their share.

First of all, let me say that the money he speaks about is “supposed” to go back to conservation, but from what I have been told the State of New York uses it for other things and very little comes back for that purpose. He also states that hunters and anglers contribute $1.9 billion to conservation and that without their help wildlife conservation would cease to exist.

I would like to remind Mr. Hackett that wildlife conservation is not the only part of the cost of having parks like the Adirondacks.

Hunters and anglers are most definitely not the only ones who pay for State Forest Land. Almost every resident of the State of New York pays taxes which go toward purchasing more land and the upkeep of the park.

On top of that, there are the residents of the Adirondacks who pay plenty of money for the privilege of living there. Mr. Hackett states that “Nonhunters and nonanglers — the overwhelming majority of the population must contribute on a regular basis.” Well Mr. Hackett, they are contributing, and the amount comes to way more than what the hunters and anglers contribute.

Also in his article he calls paddlers, skiers, hikers, birders, climbers, etc. “non-consumptive outdoor travelers.” Well, he hit the nail on the head. In his own words, they are “non-consumptive.” They don’t kill animals, or take fish from the lakes. Since only anglers and hunters do that, then they should be the ones who pay to have the wildlife restored, and provide the proper habitat for them.

Mr. Hackett mentions several times about the economic impact of a fee based program. There are those people who are just traveling through, who do not pay taxes or fees, but how would he propose to differentiate them from New York state residents who pay their share through taxation? What would the impact be if visitors were to be required to pay a fee. They probably would 1) not come, which would impact the economy even more, 2) drive right through and not stop to take advantage of accommodations, restaurants and attractions in villages or 3) they would just use the land without paying a fee to drive on.

Enforcement of the fee system would probably cost more than it would gain and lose more in economic income than it would net. It is thinking like Mr. Hackett’s that will eventually make the Adirondack Park a playground for the rich and drive out the people who have lived and worked there and supported the State of New York’s most valuable asset.

I am not someone who is far removed from the subject. I have hunted and fished, all of my family hunts and fishes and my grandchildren are learning about hunting and fishing. We lived inside the “Blue Line” for 20 years, but I would certainly not expect to pay to walk or ski through the woods, or paddle a canoe on the waters of the park, but I do expect someone that depletes the land of animals and fish to replenish what they have taken away.

Mr. Hackett, stop griping you certainly get your money’s worth.

Help United Way reach its goal There is no doubt that the North Country is known for the giving spirit of the people that live here. It never ceases to amaze me how this community comes together for a common goal, even in the toughest times. Although there are many worthy causes to support in our area, there are few that affect the number and variety of that impacted by the annual United Way campaign.

Our local United Way supports 33 member agencies. These agencies are staples in our North Country community, ones that most of us could not imagine life in our area without. The Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, YMCA, Senior Citizens Council, Champlain Valley Family Center, Alzheimer ’s Disease Assistance Center, and Hospice, to name just a few, rely on the support of the United Way to continue to provide their much needed services in our area.

This year, the United Way has a goal of $700,000 — a goal that can only be reached by all of us coming together as our North Country community always has. A gift to the United Way does not have to be large in order to make a difference. If everyone gives just a little, it is amazing how quickly it all adds up. Find out if your employer does payroll deduction to the United Way — the easiest way to give over time. If this is not available to you, please consider a gift, in any amount, to our United Way at 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh N.Y. 12901. Remember that every dollar brings us a step closer to providing services to all walks of life in our community.

We all know someone that has been touched by the United Way and its 33 member agencies.

Let’s not let them down ... let’s show everyone that even in the toughest of times, the generosity of the people of the North Country will always shine. Thank you, in advance, for your generous support.

“What we’re doing here is going to help the community,” said Johnson. “A percentage of what we make here will help with operations. A percentage will help go maybe toward [a nonprofit organization].”

The entire store is run on a volunteer basis. It will be open every Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Teams of two volunteers will take care of the store weekly.

The building was also fixed up by volunteers — from a new ceiling to shampooing the carpets, painting the inside and outside of the building, and putting up shelves.

“It’s been a church community working together,” said Smith.

The thrift store also has been receiving donations of food, with help from Ellenburg Center residents Kristie and David Rath.

The Raths, who collect day-old baked goods from Plattsburgh stores, dropped off a table-full of bread from Panera Bread in Plattsburgh for the grand opening.

“Hopefully, it’s going to become a weekly thing where they give us [bread] and we give out any leftovers ... and distribute them to the community,” said Johnson.

If interested in giving any donation of clothing, currently the store is accepting all gently-used clothing when they are open. They are especially in need of infant clothing, clothes for little girls, and winter clothing and snowsuits.

“It’s the perfect location,” said Johnson. “The only other place that’s really in the area is St. Mary’s [in Champlain]. So, this helps people in Ellenburg all the way down to Mooers.”

“It’s proven to be a perfect spot,” Smith added. “Today was phenomenal.”

For more information, contact the Rev. Al Johnson at mooresumc@yahoo.com or call him at 236-7129 before 7 p.m. The thrift store also has a fan page on Facebook.

The Plattsburgh Green Committee, which formed in late 2008, has been working toward the goal of making Plattsburgh as green as it can be, with the help of residents and business owners.

During 2009 the committee worked on numerous initiatives to achieve our goal, which could not have been done without the help of the following businesses, organizations and individuals: the city of Plattsburgh, mayor Donald Kasprzak, the city’s common council, especially Mike Kelly, the city’s Engineering and Planning Dept., Municipal Lighting Dept., Public Works, Clinton County Landfill, Casella Waste Systems Inc., Checkerhills Farm, League of Women Voters, students from Plattsburgh High School, the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, especially the Environmental Action Committee and Plattsburgh State Service Corps, Benjamin Pomerance, Lake Champlain Research Institute, Forrence Orchards in Peru, North Country Consulting, North Country Food Co-op, Adirondack Soup Company, Plattsburgh Public Library, Clinton County RSVP, Clinton County Historical Association, Natalie Ward Band, Benjamin Bright, Pat Ostrander, Peggy McCartney and her students at Bailey Avenue School, Steve Peters and the city’s Recreation Dept., and the North Country Chamber of Commerce.

During 2010, we hope to achieve even more and look forward to working with more of the community.

Thank you on behalf of the entire Plattsburgh Green Committee.

Class of ‘09 returns to help future alumni

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — On Jan. 8, students from the National Honor Society who graduated in 2009, returned to give advice to the current juniors and seniors at Northeastern Clinton Central High School.

“It gives them a chance to see what they’re getting into,” explained principal Stephen E. Gratto.

Gratto has found the assembly to be more beneficial to the juniors, because they’ll know what to do their senior year to help them better prepare for the college years.

“It’s good for the seniors, too, to maybe avoid some of the pitfalls some of these kids have gone through,” he added. “Sort of a heads up for what’s going on next year.”

Guidance counselor Erin Cromp, organizer for the event, has found the assembly also benefits the juniors and

seniors, because they’re getting advice from their peers and, in many cases, their friends.

“It gives them more of a real-life perspective on things,” Cromp said. “I think if they’re listening to their peers and students that they’ve known for years, that they’ll take it more seriously.”

During the event, classes were divided, with some meeting with panelists in the cafeteria, and others in the auditorium, to provide “a more intimate setting for the kids,” said Cromp.

From there, the conversation was moderated by two officers from the current NHS seniors to keep the conversation flowing.

Students asked questions to the panelists, ranging from how to meet new people, to how best to prepare for college, and the biggest challenges they have faced thus far.

“The biggest challenge for me was probably time management,” an-

swered Connor Herdic, who is attending Holy Cross in western Massachusetts. “Over time, I just learned to get my work done on time and I could do stuff after.”

“I thought that they did a great job answering the questions,” Cromp said.

“For the most part, they gave pretty unique responses. It wasn’t always the same response from every student, because everyone experiences different things.”

Overall, Cromp felt it was beneficial for the juniors and seniors to receive any kind of college awareness, especially from students who attend a wide-range of schools.

“I think it encourages students to really look outside the box,” she explained. “Some of our students, I mean they haven’t had the opportunities to see a lot of places or go a lot of places, so, if they can kind of hear about colleges across the state or out of state, it’s really good for them to hear about it.”

From page 1 now has nearly 20 people interested in speaking.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to kind of pull in the college and different speakers and scholars and authors,” she said.

“A new variety of people on a real good variety of subjects.”

What adds to the dynamic of the lecture series, is after the two speakers give their presentation, the audience will work to make their own connections between the two topics, with a question and answer session with the speakers.

“If it’s a stimulating enough topic to people, then I think it could be a really fun conversation in some cases,” Palmer said.

The first lecture, which will be held this Friday, Jan. 22, from 7-9 p.m., will feature author Kate Messner and professor Wendy Gordon.

Messner — who will be discussing her most recent book, “The Brilliant Fall of Gianna Z,” which deals with

Alzheimer ’s disease — will host a lecture many people can relate to, said Palmer.

“I know that’s a topic that touches a lot of people’s lives,” she said.

As for Gordon, her lecture will be based on the idea of the “Invention of the Housewife.”

“I don’t know that those two are at all related, but I think both of those speakers are dynamic enough people that it could be pretty interesting,” Palmer explained. “Although the topics may not link up to some people, I think it will be a fun conversation in the end.”

Currently, Palmer is working to pair feature lecturers up, with the dates of the next Half & Half presentation to be announced a later time.

“What I want [the audience] to come away with is just a little broader idea of what’s going on in the world and maybe they’ll be interested in lecturing sometime, too,” she said.

If interested in attending the first lecture, contact Palmer at the museum at 846-7336.

From page 1 few months ago, they opened up Fort Montgomery and I did some Fort Montgomery mugs.”

Jim also sells his mugs at the annual arts and craft show at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.

The process to create the mugs, Jim explained, is called sublimation. He simply takes a photo, prints it on special paper and wraps it around the mug. From there it goes into a special machine which heats the picture against the mug for four minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

“There’s a special coating on the mug that absorbs the image and it be-

comes apart of [the mug],” he said.

“You can’t take these image off.”

About a year ago, Jim decided to take the sublimation process a step further by producing T-shirts and magnets.

He has created many of the images for the T-shirts and magnets from what he has used on the mugs. Some of these include images he produced of the famous “Champ” of Lake Champlain.

Jim created an image based off the 1880s woodcut by B. Tobin, which originally appeared in the Swanton Courier.

He added the image to a picture he took of Lake Champlain, but some people found the image to be too “scary.”

So, now Jim has two images of Champ, the original and a more “friendly” looking lake monster.

Jim’s keepsake can be found at Meyer ’s Drug in Plattsburgh, Cornerstone Pharmacy in Rouses Point, and L & M Convenience Store in Mooers.

“We also do custom work,” added Donna. “If someone wants a picture of their dog or whatever, Jim’s done a lot of that.”

Exercising with Asthma

F

irst, have a thorough medical evaluation and obtain your doctor ’s permission before beginning an exercise program. Your doctor will probably prescribe you a medicine to help keep your airways open during exercise. For example, you may be instructed to take albuterol, a short-acting inhaled bronchodilator, 15 minutes before exercise to prevent symptoms for up to about four hours.

Once you receive clearance from your doctor, consider the following exercise guidelines: · Always have medication nearby for use in the event of an asthma attack. Be aware of early signs of an asthma attack, such as shortness of breath and coughing. · Take extra time (aim for 15 minutes) to warm up before exercising. This helps the airway retain a more normal size. · Prolong your cool-down. The second most likely time to experience an exercise-induced asthma attack is in the five to 10 minutes after exercise. By gradually decreasing intensity, you reduce your risk. · Be aware of your exercise environment. Avoid exposure to other asthma triggers such as pollen and pollution when exercising. A warm and humid environment (like that in a pool) reduces exposure of the lungs to cool, dry air — the suspected cause of exercise-induced asthma. · Consider exercising at the lower end of your target heart-rate range and incorporating intervals for high-intensity training to minimize your risk of an asthma attack. Choose exercises least likely to trigger an attack, such as pool swimming and walking. · Maintain adequate hydration. This will decrease mucous accumulation in the airways, thus reducing risk for an asthma attack or a future infection like bronchitis or pneumonia. · Maximize air exchange with diaphragmatic breathing. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth. With each inhalation you should see or feel your belly rise. · Rest when necessary and listen to what your body is telling you.

Excerpted from the article “Exercise and Asthma” from the American Counil of Exercise, www.acefitness.org.

Over the course of the next 14 weeks, Martha will chronicle her progress in this newspaper, through a weekly journal entry.

So, you want to run a half-marathon?

W

ith the city of Plattsburgh hosting a half-marathon this April, a lot of people are setting their goals to run this 13.1 mile race.

The very first thing a new runner should do is get medical clearance from your doctor. After that, get yourself a good pair of running shoes and some good winter gear to get you through the cold winter months of running in the North Country. Yes, you can do the majority of your training on the treadmill, but it is still important to get at least your weekly long run in outside so your body will get used to the pounding of the pavement opposed to a cushioned treadmill.

When you head out for your run, it is a good idea to tell someone where you will be running and when to expect you back. Carry some identification with you as well as a phone and a few bucks in case of an emergency. Warm up with some walking and finish with a cool down and some stretching.

Watch out for cars. Be a defensive runner, don’t take it for granted that cars will see you when you are running on the road. Always pay attention to traffic and run in the opposite direction so you can see oncoming cars. Including a training partner can be a great motivation for the both of you as well as increasing safety by numbers.

Don’t wear headphones while running outside, they tune you out from your surroundings

making you vulnerable to hazards such as cars, bikes, dogs, and criminals.

Don’t run alone in remote areas. Especially for women, it is important to be completely aware of your surroundings. If you don’t have a running partner, run with a dog or pepper spray, do not approach a car for directions and don’t assume all runners are safe.

It is also very important for the first time runner to be patient and go slow by only increasing your weekly mileage by no more than 10 percent to avoid overtraining and injury.

There are many training plans available on-line to get you started or you can contact a certified personal trainer in your area to help customize a plan for your individual needs and goals.
