After-school program sees drop in enrollment Enrichment programs offered help students excel

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAZY — Anyone who visited Chazy Central Rural School the afternoon of Jan. 26 was likely to see and hear a parade of students celebrating the Chinese New Year.

Although the actual holiday is not until Feb. 14, students of the after-school program will be partaking in other events at that time.

“Part of after-school programming is you try to hit certain targets,” explained director Karen Dumar. “One of those targets is trying to introduce them to different cultures.”

Aside from the Dragon Parade held for the Chinese New Year, the students have also taken part in a Native American Pow-Wow in November, and will celebrate Cinco de Mayo in May. “We keep building up our arsenal as we go,” said Dumar. “It gives them an opportunity to experience different things.”

Those experiences are one of the main goals of the tuition-based program, which has seen a decline in enrollment, due to the current economy.

“What’s happening is because [Pfizer Inc.] closing, they’re laying off people,” explained Dumar.

“Which is affecting us because par-

ents are pulling their kids out because they can’t do the tuition anymore.”

Although the school does offer some scholarships for tuition, it can’t pay for every student who attends.

Dumar has found after-school programming to be a very important for a child, as statistics have shown those students are often more focused in school, more likely to go to college, and less likely to partake in illegal activities.

Although some people consider after-school programming to be “glorified babysitting,” Dumar said there is so much more to it than that.

“I like to think we offer a little more than just watching their children,” she said. “We try to enrich them and do as much as we can with them. We do science. We have to hit literacy targets.”

Behavioral Health Services North also visits the program once a month to work on cooperative games, which, according to Dumar, “helps them with decision-making.”

The program also offers many physical activities, from swimming, to sports, to playing Wii. “We can offer them a lot of enriching activities that they might

ROUSES POINT — A year and a half since a book club was started at Dodge Memorial Library, it is still going strong.

With the help of Friends of the Library member Wendy Engelbrecht, the library began their book club in August 2008.

“I think we started with ... trying to decide whether there was an interest in our group,” she said.

During the group’s first meeting, five people showed up.

“We had a small turn out, but now we have a good size and we’ve kept at it,” said Engelbrecht.

Part of what makes the group so successful is the group doesn’t have a set list of books to read.

“We together as a group have chosen books,” she said. “Everybody makes a suggestion. We try to pick something that each person has come up with so that everybody knows that at some point their going to read a book they choose.”

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

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

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

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

“The support from the North Country, once again, has been tremendous,” said Favaro.

“We’re in awe.”

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

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

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

Already, Hannah’s Hope Fund has raised the majority of its $500,000 goal. However, events planned this weekend are expected to help the

organization meet and exceed the goal.

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

This Saturday, Jan. 30, American Legion Post 1619 in West Plattsburgh will host a Texas Hold ‘em tournament to help Hannah’s Hope Fund reach that mark, said Favaro.

The tournament, which will begin at 4 p.m., will be limited to 125 players, with a $60 entry fee per person. The entry fee will include a full buffet and prizes throughout the evening. Registration may be arranged in advance by calling 563-6944.

On Sunday, Jan. 31, the Northern Adirondack Trail Breakers snowmobile club will host a spaghetti dinner at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8793, U.S. Route 11, from 12-6 p.m. The cost of the dinner will be a $5 donation, with

all proceeds to benefit Hannah’s Hope Fund.

The event will also include a bake sale, 50/50 raffle and basket raffles.

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

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

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

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

For more information about Hannah’s Hope Fund, including an eight-minute video depicting Hannah’s story, visit the organization’s Web site, www.hannahshopefund.org. Donations may be made on the Web site through PayPal or may be mailed in care of Hannah’s Hope for GAN to 19 Blue Jay Way, Rexford N.Y. 12148.

Winter Weekend tradition continues

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAZY — For nearly 50 years, students at Chazy Central Rural School in grades seven through 12 have celebrated their winter break in a unique way.

During a meeting held by student council representatives Jan. 26, students discussed with advisor Justin Frechette and Winter Weekend committee organizer Jim

Lucas as to what the classes can expect this year.

Although it’s considered a “weekend” event, students will be participating in festivities for nearly two weeks.

From Feb. 8-12, students will dress up each day with a different theme, as a part of their “spirit week.”

“I always get asked, ‘Does Chazy have a homecoming?’ and my answer always is ‘It’s Winter Weekend,” said Frechette. “Something a little

different that we do.”

The themes are Pajama Day, World Cultures Day, Twin/Clash Day, Class Color Day, and Formal Day. This year, school superintendent Kevin J. Mulligan has decided to add a little something to spirit week.

“We want to do a Haitian relief effort,” explained Frechette to the students during the meeting. “Collecting money to send out there.”

During spirit week, jars will

be set up in every homeroom, and students can bring in money. At the end of the week, the money will be totaled and classes will receive points based on who brought in the most.

“All of the money, 100 percent of it, will be going [to the relief effort],” Frechette explained. “I think we can raise a significant amount of money.”

The points received by the classes will be added to the

points they will aim to get during the festivities the following week.

According to Lucas, who has been an organizer on behalf of the Chazy Lions Club for the last four years, points will be received with the ultimate goal of getting a monetary donation from the club to each of the classes.

Each competition, which ranges from a volleyball tournament to a talent show, will have a different point scale.

“Some competitions weigh more than others,” Lucas explained.

In order to determine the winners of some of the events, Lucas looks to the community for help.

“What we do is try to find members of the community that do not have children in those age groups,” Lucas said, in hopes of keeping the scores unbiased.

Judges are currently needed for the talent show, which will be held Thursday, Feb. 18,

at 6 p.m. at the school. The talent show allots a 10-minute timeframe to every class to perform whatever they choose. In the past, Lucas has found many students choose to put on a skit.

“They’re very good with satire humor of current events,” he said.

Lucas also wants to thank Jeff and Rini Green, who already help a great deal with the talent show.

Community members are also asked to come forth to judge the spirit of the students, as well as the snow sculpture event, which students will work on creating throughout the week. Judging of the sculptures, which are based on a storybook character theme, will be held Saturday, Feb. 20, at 12 p.m.

“I’ve been very impressed with the snow sculptures the last couple years,” Lucas said.

“The community really likes seeing them.”

If interested in helping judge any of the events, contact Lucas by e-mail at lucasjm@westelcom.com.

New trophy case highlights musical success at NCCS

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — When entering Northeastern Clinton Central High School, the public will now see proof of the musical talent of its students.

Eight years ago, an alumni of the school’s chorus visited choral director Kathy Kokes’ classroom. It was a moment Kokes considers the catalyst for a brand new trophy case in the school’s lobby.

“I used to have the [New York State School Music Association] plaques up here,” Kokes explained. “They came in and they were staring at their award.”

From there, Kokes worked with her students to have their trophies and awards set out for all to see.

“They asked about having a trophy case in the lobby where the public could see it and people came for concerts,” she said.

However, it was in the last two years that chorus president and a senior at the school, Matthew Faubert, worked to make the trophy case a reality.

“Ms. Kokes told me other groups had tried to get a trophy case up and had been unsuccessful with it,” Faubert said. “That’s when I told her that I would get one up before I graduated.”

Now, just months before graduation, Faubert’s promise has come true.

“Right now I’m overwhelmed with excitement about it being up,” he said. “Just because everyone can see the achievements that the chorus and the band have achieved over the years.”

Northeastern Clinton Central School chorus president Matthew Faubert, left, has spent the last two years working to get a new trophy case put up in the school. Joining him, from left, are chorus member Lily O’Hara, chorus teacher Kathy Kokes and Scott Bleau, who built the trophy case.

Several months ago, Kokes approached her friend, Scott Bleau, a 1987 graduate of the school, about creating the trophy case.

“I came in and talked to some of the students and got an idea of what they were looking for,” Bleau recalled. “We did a drawing

and went from there.”

Bleau, who currently works at Pfizer Inc., has been doing woodworking for 10 years — a hobby he hopes to make into a business when he gets laid off in the spring.

“I’ve done all kinds of furniture,” he ex-

plained. “My goal is to at least have all the furniture in my house be stuff that I’ve built.”

“That’s something I really enjoy doing and I was happy to be involved with this project because I know it was really important for the kids to get their awards out there,” Bleau added.

The trophy case, which took Bleau nearly 60 hours to complete, now houses trophies and awards for both the band and the chorus, which students have received in the last decade.

“We have trophies from competitions that the choruses went to before I was teaching here,” Kokes explained. “We have local talent contest trophies that kids have won. We have NYSSMA certificates.”

“There’s an eclectic mix of different levels of trophies and awards in there,” she added.

The awards and trophies in the case will be changed from time to time, according to Kokes.

“We want to try to keep them as recent as we can,” she said. “It’s nice for the alumni to come back ... and if a competition or an event was important to them, they look for it.”

According to Kokes, the case was able to be built with support from school board president Randy LaCount.

“When I approached Mr. LaCount with this idea, he was 110 percent behind the students and behind this happening,” Kokes explained. “He knew exactly where he wanted, how it was going to be placed.”

Kokes also wanted to thank maintenance supervisor Jim Menard and his crew who attached the trophy case to the wall, as well as Chazy Hardware, Adams Glass, and Adirondack Hardwoods for materials.

Spaghetti dinner to help fund chorus trip to New York City

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — The trip of a lifetime has been years in the making.

After taking her chorus students to Montreal nine years ago, Kathy Kokes, choral director at Northeastern Clinton Central School, found her younger students wanted to take a trip as well.

“That was a nice trip,” recalled Kokes, “but to get the students into Canada now is very difficult.”

Six years ago, Kokes began working with the students on fundraising for a trip to New York City.

“They wanted to go on a trip and the majority of them wanted to see

a Broadway show,” she explained.

“New York was the natural answer to that.”

After various fundraising efforts, selling things like pizzas, oranges, snacks and flower bulbs, the chorus got closer and closer to their goal.

“Basically, my thing is when I take them on a trip, anybody who wants to go, gets to go, regardless if they have the money,” Kokes said.

“We don’t have the have and havenots.”

However, one more fundraising effort needs to be had in order to ensure enough money will be available for all the students to attend the trip, which will be held May 2730.

“The economy is so rough and some of these families are really

struggling to make ends meet,” Kokes explained.

The closing of Pfizer Inc. has been one catalyst for some students struggling to find the money for the trip.

“At first it was just a couple students and, then in the past two months, that has blossomed into a bigger issue,” said Kokes.

To overcome the obstacle, an allyou-can-eat spaghetti dinner has been planned for Wednesday, Feb. 3, from 4:30-7:30 p.m. at the school.

“What we’re doing is we get 50 percent of whatever we make at the door,” Kokes explained. “The food service company will take care of the expenses and everything out of their 50 percent. So, we get half of everything that’s made.”

During the dinner, the chorus students will entertain the crowd by singing songs they hope to sing on their NYC trip.

While in the city, students will be taking a behind-the-scenes trip to Lincoln Center. It’s uncertain now as to where the students will be performing, but Kokes hopes it’s at the Lincoln Center Plaza.

“We’re hoping we can perform outside and then go inside for our tours,” she said. “That would be a really neat backdrop for the kids to have that in the background and perform there. That’s a cultural heartbeat of the world.”

When students found out they would be performing in the city, they were very excited.

“If I go anywhere, I like to spread

the talent that we have up here in our school out to everyone else,” said senior chorus student Brett Bosley. “Basically, up here nobody gets to hear us except for local people. Now that we have an opportunity to spread our vocal talent is amazing to me.”

Kokes hopes the community will come out to support the fundraising efforts of the chorus by attending the spaghetti dinner.

“It’s a nice informal way to hear the kids singing, to be entertained and to support this effort of allowing my students to have this experience of seeing New York,” she said, “and getting a first-hand experience of seeing and being in a place where they’ve learned about in class.”

Tax season’s here: time to look at software L

,

Adirondack Humane Society

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

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

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

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

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

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

By Ron Poland services work for both personal and small business returns.

emember savings bonds? Lots of us even used automatic purchasing plans through our payroll to buy them on a regular basis. If you have bonds stashed in a safe place and haven’t looked at them lately, you may find that they are no longer a smart investment.

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

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

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

: “I have been following your column, and a lot of what you have discussed I have implemented. You often talk about the number of coupons you use.

Where and how are you obtaining so many duplicate coupons? I know I can print out multiple copies on-line from some of the coupon Web sites.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Using probiotics to help the digestive system

body, they are especially helpful to those who suffer from chronic bowel issues.

Seven years ago Annette LaBombard of Beekmantown was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis — another type of inflammatory bowel disease that affects the large intestine and rectum.

For four of the seven years, LaBombard was on a constant dosage of prednisone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation.

However, prednisone also comes with

lthough they’ve been around since the beginning of mankind, probiotics in supplement form have become more popular in recent years.

According to Dr. Jordan Rubin, an expert in natural health, probiotics are basically “good germs.”

“There’s bad germs and good germs,” he explained. “It’s not about getting rid of all the bad, because they need to live in balance.”

Equating probiotics with policemen, Rubin said “a town has a few criminals and a lot of policemen lives very peacefully. A town that has no policemen and a few criminals, lives in chaos.”

Rubin, who has been taking probiotics for more than 15 years to help his Crohn’s disease — a disease which involves chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract — has found using Using probiotics balances probiotics can help anyone. out the good and bad germs “If you were born by cesarean in the digestive system. section, if you were not breast fed, if you’ve ever taken an antibiotic, consumed excess sugar, caffeinated beverages, if you have showered or con- many other side affects including weight gain, high blood pressure, low potassium, sumed chlorinated water, breathed in imsleep problems and mood changes. pure air, or event thought negative LaBombard visited an acupuncturist to thoughts, you’ve done damage to the miease the discomfort of ulcerative colitis, croorganisms in your gut,” he said.

“I can’t say enough about probiotics,” LaBombard added. “I will never go off of them.”

According to Rubin, probiotics contain a combination of various natural bacteria.

“A combination of green vegetables that are cultured, what you call organic trace minerals which are found in healthy soil and beneficial microorganisms,” he said.

“There’s beneficial bacteria that are found in plants and soil, there’s beneficial bacteria that are found in your body and there’s beneficial yeast that are found in food.”

When taking probiotic supplements Rubin has found taking products such as Activia may not be enough, as there is other “junk” in it.

“If sugar harms probiotics, and you take a probiotic with sugar in it or artificial sweeteners or chemicals, I believe you can also be doing harm instead of good,” he said. “It’s not about taking probiotics, it’s taking the right probiotic.”

Rubin has also found taking probiotics in a pill form best on an empty stomach.

“If you take probiotics with food, it may not be quickly and easily getting to where they need to go,” he explained. “You can certainly take primal defense with food, but if you choose to take them on an empty stomach, it’s just easier for them to get to your digestive system and implant, where they literally live for a period of days doing their job.”

Week 2 —

By Martha Breyette

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

S

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

I am starting to see some small physical changes. I have lost a few pounds and am mentally getting stronger all the time. I ran another four miles this week and didn’t have any breathing issues. I did encounter my first real-life hurdle — scheduling time for exercise. I had a conflict with my exercise time and something else. Normally I would have cancelled the exercise but this time I worked my way through it so I could still exercise. I felt so good about staying on track. I am definitely looking at this day by day so it doesn’t become overwhelming.

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

Do something for yourself as you deserve!

Snowshoeing for family fun and fitness S

nowshoeing is a great outdoor winter activity the whole family can enjoy. It is very easy to learn with virtually no learning curve at all. It is as easy as walking. Snowshoeing can accommodate a variety of fitness levels from a leisurely hike in the woods to an epic alpine climb. It is very inexpensive and requires very little equipment. All you need are snowshoes that can be purchased at your local outdoors shop and some good outdoor winter clothing. You may even be able to rent snowshoes and give them a try first before purchasing them. Poles are an accessory that can also be helpful and it’s always important to have water with you, like any outdoor activity.

You will get a great cardiovascular workout while snowshoeing. You can burn 45 percent more calories than walking or running at the same speed.

Snowshoeing is a great cross-training option for runners, and cyclists. Research has shown that individuals who substitute snowshoeing for their running during the winter months, actually improve their overall running fitness opposed to those who chose to run as their primary source of winter training.

Fitness is not the only benefit to be had from snowshoeing.

It also offers participants the peaceful, quiet serenity of a snow-covered landscape, and allows you to enjoy the outdoors during the winter months. Getting outside during the winter can have a very positive effect on overall wellness. So this weekend when you’re wondering what to do with the rowdy kids, get outside, enjoy nature, breathe in the fresh air, and find a new appreciation for the winter in the North County.

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

By Fred Monroe Special to Denton Publications

T

he Local Government Review Board does not believe that the APA should be abolished. We do believe that the APA needs to be reined in and its governing Act revised.

Very clear evidence of this need is seen in recent cases where the Adirondack Park Agency threatened or attempted an enforcement action that was dropped or overturned: the Sandy Lewis farm worker housing case, the Leroy Douglas “wetlands” road case, the John Maye case about whether his house was illegally built on an existing foundation — which drew heated opposition in Lake George and other Adirondack communities and was widely reported in all Adirondack media — is more evidence of an agency overstepping its bounds. The APA is an administrative agency trying to act like a legislative body — attempting to create law and then enforce that law when it doesn’t have the legal right to do so.

• We believe that the primary issue in the Adirondacks, as it has been for 20 years or more, is that so much of the state’s focus has been on land acquisition that any effort to encourage and protect the economic lives of the communities has been cast aside. The recent Adirondack Park Regional Assessment project Report bore this all out: The decline in school enrollment is steeper and the median age of the population is rising more rapidly than elsewhere. Household incomes are lower than in much of New York State. Sparse populations and regulatory practices have contributed to a lag in private sec-

tor investment in businesses, most notably in lack of broadband communication and data transfer infrastructure.

The park-wide loss of private sector jobs has been somewhat offset temporarily by job increases in public health care, education and government employment. The creation of permanent jobs that pay living wages and provide benefits on which a family can depend is the most fundamental need in Adirondack communities. While jobs are needed in every community in New York State, few other communities’ economic deterioration is so closely associated with the state’s as the communities of the Adirondack Park.

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

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

• We believe there should be oppor-

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

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

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

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

gelbrecht said. “If you like to read, even if not everybody in the club likes the same thing, you get some great discussion.”

“I think that enhances the enjoyment of books when you talk about them,” she added. “I would definitely encourage it.”

Engelbrecht has found the book club members haven’t always agreed on a book to read, yet the group is openminded enough they go with the consensus.

“It is true that some people said, ‘Well, I never would have chosen this book, but it turned out to be okay.’ Other times things flop,” she said. “You win some, you lose some.”

Engelbrecht has also found the more diverse the opinions are, the better the conversation.

“A person not liking the book shouldn’t ever feel that they shouldn’t come and talk about it. It helps with the conversation,” she said.

Currently, the Dodge Memorial Library book club meets at the library the last Thursday of the month, from 7-8:30 p.m.

Champlain Memorial Library has also recently begun a book club, although they are currently on hiatus,

due to the holiday season and weather.

“It’s a very small group,” said library director Alison Mandeville.

“For our reading group that’s here, it’s not about all reading the same book,” she said. “It’s about just coming together and talking about books and just a casual night out.”

The Champlain library is also looking for more people who may be interested in joining their club.

For more information, contact Mandeville at 2988620. To find out about the next book on the Dodge Memorial Library’s reading list and to verify the meeting time, as it does change sometimes with scheduling conflicts, call 297-6242.

If interested in having a book club in your community, Linda Dupee at the Dodge Library in West Chazy can be contacted at 493-6131. Francie Fairchild at the Chazy Public Library can be reached at 846-7676. Edie Morelock at the Mooers Free Library can be reached at 236-7744.

“The better the book is, and sometimes the more diverse the opinions are, the better the discussion gets,” said Engelbrecht.

Program From page 1 not otherwise get to experience,” Dumar said. “We’re kind of in a time of transition where both parents have to work. These kids need a place to go.”

The Dragon Parade, one of the culturally-enriching programs Dumar offers to the students every year, helped them to understand a different culture, by listening to Asian-influenced music, learning a special dance for the parade, and creating masks which highlighted that this is the year of the tiger.

In the past, Dumar has had the Dragon Parade simply be a cardboard cutout of a dragon with ribbons attached. This year, however, her daughter, Holly Dumar, decided to take it a step further.

In what took a month to create, students helped make a paper maché dragon face, and Dumar sewed together the rest of the body, which students could fit un-

der.

Other students paraded with the dragon throughout the school using instruments such as a triangle, which the school purchased with a grant from state Sen. Elizabeth O’C. Little, RQueensbury.

“We bought things that we could reuse over and over again,” explained Dumar. “That just seemed to make the most sense.”

Any other money that comes into the program, is used to help the students as much as possible.

“I just think that the community needs to understand that these programs need community support,” Dumar said. “It takes a village to raise a child ... and without the support of our community, these programs really can’t happen.”

For more information regarding the after-school program at CCRS, contact the school at 846-7135.

Family Promise sees rise in homeless families assisted Gibson Brothers concert Saturday to help organization

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Homelessness is an increasing epidemic in this area, contrary to popular belief, says Maureen E. Bradish.

Bradish would know, serving as director of Family Promise of Clinton County, a nonprofit organization which locates housing for families who have become homeless. The organization has seen “a significant increase” in the number of families it serves, she said, based off referrals from the local Department of Social Services.

“We’re getting a lot more families referred,” said Bradish, who noted 28 families were assisted last year. “But, we’re also seeing people are staying in our program for a longer period of time. I used to be able to find housing for people in two to three weeks and now it’s well over a month before we can find them something.”

The biggest challenge, said Bradish, is to not only find housing, but to find “safe, affordable housing.”

“We don’t want to put families in places where there are known pedophiles or in other conditions that aren’t safe for children to be living,” said Bradish. “And, sometimes, that can be a problem in our area.”

The organization has limited funding, which comes mainly through the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties and through member items secured through the state legislature. However, Bradish is afraid funding

won’t be enough to provide enough services to those who need them.

“We don’t want people on the streets, especially families,” she said. “We want to be able to continue to do pretty much anything we can to help them back on their feet.”

What Bradish hopes will help the mission of Family Promise — which has been in existence locally for the past eight years — is increasing awareness about homelessness.

“I still hear people say they’ve never heard of our program or they didn’t know homelessness was a problem in our area. But, it’s a problem everywhere,” said Bradish. “For some people, because they don’t see it, they think it’s not a problem. It is.”

Bradish hopes to raise awareness with a concert this Saturday, Jan. 30, at Chazy Central Rural School in Chazy. The Gibson Brothers, a well-known musical duo of Ellenburg natives Eric and Leigh Gibson, will perform their second concert in two years to benefit Family Promise.

“We’re hoping it will be an annual event,” said Bradish. “We want it to be something people will remember and want to come back to year after year.”

The concert will begin at 7 p.m., though doors will open at 6 p.m. Tickets are available in Plattsburgh at Family Promise, 36 Brinkerhoff St., and Adirondack Trading Company in the Champlain Centre mall, 60 Smithfield Blvd.

For more information, call 562-0710.

SATURDAY January 30, 2010

Wild storms, wild skiers, Wild Center E

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

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

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

At one time, the Empire State served as host to more ski centers than any other state in the nation.

But, since the late 1960’s, New York state has lost an estimated 350 historic, ski centers.

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

The small, community ski centers were places where parents could drop off the kids, with few worries. They were

considered an extension of the village, where you knew everybody and everybody knew you. Our parents seemed to like it that way.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Most young skiers of my generation, in the 1970s, cut their teeth (or at least chipped a few), while practicing stemturns and hot dogging on such smaller hills. Once we thought we were good enough, we attempted to tackle the larger mountains of Whiteface and Gore, which beckoned us with groomed trails, steep drops and even a gondola.

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

Until this year!

Fortunately, for both the community and especially its youth, the lifts and rope tows at Big Tupper now run again!

Through the concerted efforts of a community support group called ARISE, funding for the operation was raised through a combination of donations and fundraising events.

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

Now in full operation, a lift ticket at Big Tupper costs only $15 a day for adults, $9 for youth and free for children under 6 and seniors. The mountain will be in operation from Friday through Sunday for the remainder of the season, snow conditions permitting.

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

Contact the ski center at SkiBigTupper.Org or call 3593730 to check on snow conditions.

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

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

The Wild Center offers Winter Wildays both Saturdays and Sundays, with a full slate of indoor and outdoor activities and presentations. The museum Web site hosts an outdoor Web cam that shows local snow conditions.

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

Attracting a wide variety of birds I

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

All wildlife requires habitat — that is food, shelter, and water. Birdfeeders are a great way to add the food component. Providing wintering birds with shelter and water are not too difficult either.

The best way to provide birds with liquid water during the cold winter months is with a heated birdbath. You can either purchase specially made heated bird baths, or you can place a water-safe heating element in a regular birdbath.

Liquid water can be scarce during our winters and as a result a heated birdbath can attract a wider variety of birds to your yard.

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

wind protection during the winter months.

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

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

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

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

G ETTING

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

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

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

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

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

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

The teenage years are a special time in his life.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION!

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

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

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

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