MOOERS — Zumba, the worldwide dance-exercise craze, has made its way into the Northern Tier.

The class is taught by Tracy Posada, a newly-certified Zumba instructor and physical education teacher at Peru Central School.

Posada began taking Zumba classes at Peru Central after the school’s athletic director, Cathy Phillips, brought in an instructor from Vermont.

“I fell in love with,” explained Posada. “I just thought it was the coolest thing. When you work out, you don’t even feel like you’re working out.”

However, with various time constraints, Posada had to stop taking the classes. Eventually, though, with advice from Phillips, she decided to take Zumba a step further, and become a certified instructor herself.

“I just started teaching it in my phys. ed. classes, learned the dances and then started here just a couple weeks ago,” she explained of the Mooers class.

Posada took up instructing Zumba in Mooers after a friend suggested it might be an ideal location.

“The big hub is Plattsburgh right now,” she explained. “So, people are going to Plattsburgh. But, if you live in Mooers, that’s a big hike. It’s easier for one person to come out here than it is to have 160 people go out there.”

Posada anticipated having 15 people turn out for the first class, but was surprised to find nearly 70 women ready to work out.

“It was awesome,” recalled Posada.

“Then, it went up to like 100.”

Now, Posada holds classes at the elementary school cafeteria every Monday and Wednesday, with sessions from 4-5 p.m. and 5:30-6:30 p.m. She is also considering adding classes on Friday evenings.

“Zumba is a Latin-infused dance party,” Posada said. “You don’t have to have great rhythm or coordination. You come, you show up and as long as you’re not killing anyone, knocking people down, then you’re doing Zumba right.”

Despite having a large number of women attending the Mooers classes, Posada said there is still space for more women to attend.

“A lot of people find it’s addicting,” she explained. “People get all that energy from all the people that are here. Everyone cheers and it’s totally different.”

School’s treadmill challenge takes steps toward healthier lifestyles

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAZY — As a way of getting people into shape, teacher Laurie Parsons is encouraging others to “work out” across the country ... so to speak.

Just before Christmas vacation, Parsons, the computer teacher and technology coordinator at Chazy Central Rural School, sent a memo to school staff, hoping they would join in what would become “The Great Chazy Treadmill Challenge.”

in the challenge’s name, Parsons explained people can really work out in any way.

“People do like the fact that basically everything counts,” she said. “So, that if I’m going to do a Tae Bo tape, that works. If you’re going to do aerobics; if you’re going to do a bicycle; if you’re going to swim; if you’re going to do hockey —it all counts.”

The way the challenge works, is at the end of every week — with the challenge currently in its fourth week — participants

Organizers hoped to bring in $4,500, but surpassed their goal by raising more than $6,100, all of which will benefit Family Promise of Clinton County.

Challenge From page 1 simply let Parsons know how much exercise they did. If they are doing an exercise other than walking or running and are unable to convert the exercise into mileage, Parsons will figure it out.

For example, people who choose to exercise on the Nintendo Wii will earn points based on how much work they did. Parsons considers 20 points to be about a mile.

“It’s exact enough for our little mileage across the country,” she said.

Currently, the challenge has 32 participants, mostly adults, although the students are encouraged to participate as well.

“There are a few students, but very few in numbers,” Parsons explained. “They sometimes are kind of busy for that, with the sports they’re already doing. So, they are exercis59383

ing, [and] they can count that.”

Parsons also wants people to know that they don’t have to be a staff member at the school, or even a member of the community, to participate.

“Anybody can join,” she said. “There’s no fee.”

One goal Parsons has in the challenge is to make it across the country, beginning in Maine and heading west, based on the mileage people submit.

“We’re going to get there pretty quickly,” she said, looking at the map. “Go back and forth as much as we can.”

Superintendent Kevin J. Mulligan said the challenge is “much needed.” As a participant himself, he enjoys the fact everything is accepted as mileage.

“Last weekend, I went cross country skiing and that was accepted,” Mulligan said. “I think what makes it appealing is it’s not just for runners.”

However, to make the challenge more interesting, Parsons has goals people can choose to complete, with running being required in the next goal.

On Sunday, Feb. 14, the Northern Lights Track Club, in conjunction with the Rouses Point Fire Department will host a 5-kilometer Frostbite Run, which Parsons hopes people taking part in the challenge will choose to sign up for.

“I thought, well what a wonderful way to incorporate

what we’re doing,” she said. “You don’t really have to train too much. You can run at whatever pace you want.”

The Frostbite Run will be the second challenge Parsons has opened up to the participants, with the first being a music challenge.

“Our first challenge was a simple challenge and that was motivational music,” she explained. “For me, I hear a song and it makes me move. So, I thought that was a good start.”

Although Parsons didn’t get as many entries as she hoped, the challenge is still open for people to post their motivational music.

“I’m going to try to come up with challenges that no matter where you are, you can do them,” Parsons added. “Offer a little bit of a variety of things. Running, walking, weight lifting.”

Those interested in participating in The Great Chazy Treadmill Challenge, may visit www.chazy.org and look for the link.

If interested in signing up for the Frostbite Run, the race will begin at the fire department on Lake Street in Rouses Point at 12 p.m., with registration held the day of the event from 10:30-11:45 a.m. For more information regarding the race, call Mary Duprey at 297-2192.

Posada admits when she teaches at the high school level, there is a different sort of energy.

“The kids don’t quite get that the whole idea that this is about these women right now,” she said. “They are finally doing something for themselves instead of carting their kids here and there.”

“They’re not out of school yet where they have to start thinking for themselves about how they are going to stay in shape,” added Posada.

Posada, who suffered from a stroke at age 25, knows the importance of staying in shape.

She is also involved with the American Heart Association, which is why, during the month of February, Posada is asking everyone who attends her class to wear red, in honor of American Heart Month.

“I’m trying to get people to wear red and to start thinking about [heart health],” she explained. “I want them to try to wear red as much as they can. It’s kind of like a unity thing.”

Posada charges $5 per class, but will donate $1 for every one who attends her class during February, to the AHA. Zumba not only helps in terms of staying in shape, but Posada has found it helps with physical ailments as well.

“I have a lady that had open heart surgery, I had someone that had injuries to her ankles. I’ve had just about everything,” she explained. “I have horrible knees and they’re doing really well because of this. I know that my knees don’t hurt half as much as they did.”

Posada also believes Zumba can be beneficial to men as well.

“Men, I think, in the North Country don’t think that dancing is manly,” speculated Posada as to why the number of men are lower. “My young boys in school are starting to get into it. I have four or five little boys that come. They realize it’s not the stereotypical ‘girl dance.’ They can put their own moves in it and you move the way you want to move.”

For more information regarding Zumba, visit www.zumba.com, and for more information about Posada’s classes, contact her via e-mail at tposada7092@charter.net.

Posada’s classes in Peru are held at the Peru Middle School cafeteria from 3:30-4:30 p.m. and 6-7 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday.

Northeastern Clinton Central School hockey alumni return every year to compete against one another in a game. This year, the fourth annual game will be held Feb. 27 at the Rouses Point Civic Center.

Cougar hockey alums to face off in fourth annual game

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com ROUSES POINT — Calling all Cougar hockey alumni!

For the last three years, former Northeastern Clinton Central School hockey players have returned to the area to compete against one another in “friendly competition.”

Vincent Nigro, organizer of the game, said the idea just “popped” into his head one day.

“Four years ago, I put it out as best as I could,” recalled Nigro.

“The goal was just to get every-

body, all these guys together.”

Although he grew up on Long Island, Nigro frequented the area as a kid to visit family, and began to form friendships with many of the guys on the hockey team at NCCS. In 1991, he moved here permanently.

“I should have been born up here,” he laughed.

Through the last three years, Nigro has seen men come from all over the country to participate in the annual alumni hockey game.

“They come as far away as Arizona, Florida, Myrtle Beach,” he explained. “Although, a lot of people are still local.”

The game, which will be held Saturday, Feb. 27, will team up any past hockey member who graduated from NCCS. Teams will be split based on odd and even years of graduation.

“So, there’s a balance of older players and younger players,” Nigro explained.

“I know a lot of these guys,” he added. “They’re pretty good friends. You meet new people also.

They have played in the program and it’s great to see guys that haven’t seen each other ... since they graduated.”

The game also brings out past coaches.

“It’s really neat to see the interaction between the old players and the old coaches,” Nigro said. “It’s pretty popular.”

Nigro already anticipates having a good turnout this year. The first year saw more than 50 players, with the following bringing in 70 players, enough for two games, instead of the usual one.

Any previous player on the NCCS hockey team, who graduated from the school, is eligible to play. The cost is $50 for returning players, and $65 for new players, to pay for the cost of a jersey.

The money will also pay for the ice rink, which is held at the Rous-

es Point Civic Center, 39 Lake St. The rest will go towards the current NCCS Hockey Team.

After the game, which begins at 3 p.m., there will be a banquet at the American Legion Post 912, 29 Pratt St. “It’s all for fun,” Nigro explained of the game. “It’s kind of an exhibition. A lot of families come ... it’s fun to put on. It really is.”

For more information regarding the alumni game, including how to register, contact Nigro at 493-7260 or John Zurlo at 297-7786. The deadline to register is Saturday, Feb. 20.

What’s Internet neutrality? Does it affect me?

I

,

Adirondack Humane Society

nternet neutrality is the concept of advocating no restrictions on Internet content, communication or devices.

Many users think neutrality exists now, and for the most part it does, but efforts to restrict use are clearly in play.

One Internet service provider, Comcast, intentionally slowed Internet traffic based on the peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol which is a legitimate file transfer protocol. However, it is also the protocol of choice among copyright content pirates. Comcast throttled the user ’s download when the P2P protocol was detected because, in Comcast’s eyes, the user was downloading pirated content. The problem with that approach is a user downloading a legitimate copy of Fedora Core 12, a Linux operating system, via P2P would also be slowed as Comcast had no way of knowing if the P2P file pieces were legal or illegal content.

Other companies have discriminated further against customers by deep packet inspection techniques which fine tunes the route Comcast took but allows the ISP to know the exact content in order to drive the decision to block the download or not.

Consumer rights advocates are not thrilled with the idea believing that if a subscriber pays for Internet access that nobody, including the ISP, has the right to censor the data traffic. Service providers think they have every right to control traffic on their network.

They argue that a few users can account for a high amount of throughput affecting everyone’s Internet experience so controlling the few is good business for all.

The FCC is not impressed with any access control effort. Having the most control over Internet neutrality, the FCC has written regulations that prevent ISPs from undertaking

By Ron Poland any type of Internet traffic gate keeping. The rules that will be voted on later this year can be found on fcc.gov.

ew York State has recognized that an unprecedented number of older drivers are on the road. Approximately one in every seven drivers now is age 65 or older. As the baby boomers arrive at the threshold of retirement, the percentage of older drivers will continue to grow. By 2029, approximately one in four drivers will be age 65 or older.

To respond to this trend, the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles had created the Office for the Older Driver. This Department is to serve as a clearinghouse of information for mature drivers and their families. The office has created a Web site with driving tips, links to often-used forms and publications, what to look for in a vehicle, and evaluating the driver. The office is also working on other projects across the State, including promoting the “Car Fit” Program in conjunction with AAA, the AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association. Car Fit seeks to help drivers to make vehicle adjustments so that they are as safe and comfortable in their vehicles as possible.

The new Web site for NYSDMV Office for the Older Driver is www.nydmv.state.ny.us/olderDriver/default.html Among the many on-line offerings, they provide the fol-

lowing suggestions for older drivers: • Always wear your seat belt.

• Look for vehicles that enter the highway from curbs, driveways and businesses.

Multi-stacking to magnify those savings

I

n previous columns, I’ve discussed coupon stacking at great length. It’s one of the easiest ways not only to reduce the cost of items we’re buying but also to get items for free. Many stores allow shoppers to stack one store coupon and one manufacturer coupon together, which gives us an even deeper discount on the same item. Just a few days ago I purchased a $2.50 tube of toothpaste. I used a $1.50 manufacturer coupon for the toothpaste and I added to it a $1 store-issued coupon for the same toothpaste. With a total of $2.50 in coupon value, the toothpaste was free! And free is, of course, my favorite price to pay.

Store coupons are offered in different formats, so it’s important to note which kinds your stores offer. Do some research. Many stores print their store coupons in a weekly flyer. Others offer printable coupons on the store’s Web site.

Still others offer store coupons electronically. These electronic coupons can be loaded to your shoppers’ card and stacked with manufacturer coupons for additional savings.

Now, when we combine coupon stacking with other deals running at the store at the same time, our savings increase even more. What’s better than stacking? Multi-stacking!

When we multi-stack at the store, we use both store and manufacturer coupons and take advantage of additional moneyback deals involved. These additional deals typically offer instant savings at the register or a money-back coupon (commonly called a Catalina) that prints at the register for savings on a subsequent shopping trip.

Here’s an example. One of my stores recently advertised a sale offering a Catalina coupon good for $5 off your next shopping trip if you purchased any two items in the flyer.

When I see an advertisement like this, I immediately look for the items that are going to be the best deals — typically, the items for which I already have both store and manufacturer coupons.

During this particular sale, the store had triple-packs of

baby wipes on sale for $5.99. Buying two items in the promotion will earn me a $5 coupon for my next shopping trip. To keep track of my savings, I always figure that $5 savings into my current shopping trip. I may pay that $5 out-of-pocket at the register to buy these items today but I get it right back in the form of a Catalina good for $5 off my next shopping trip. So, buying two packages of wipes costs $11.98 but I’ll get $5 of that back at checkout. That essentially brings the cost of the two packages of wipes down to $6.98 for 2 packages.

To bring the price down further, we’re goBy Jill Cataldo ing to stack coupons here, too! I had a manufacturer coupon for $2 off 2 packages of wipes. The wipes were also on my electronic store coupons for $1.50 off each package. So, stacking these coupons together yields another $5 in savings.

After coupons, I paid $6.98 for the two triple-packs of baby wipes and I received the $5 Catalina coupon at the register.

Since I got $5 of my original $6.98 back, the end cost of these two items was just $1.98! Triple-packs of baby wipes at less than a dollar a package? That’s a great price … made possible by multi-stacking! Consider that each triple-pack started out at $5.99 before all of these discounts were put together.

Any time I see sales at the supermarket that involve money-back promotions, I always look for both store and manufacturer coupons to help reduce the final price I pay even further. In the weeks ahead, I’ll show you more examples of multi-stacking and explain how to make the most out of these promotions.

Diet soda a path to weight loss? You may want to reconsider your beverage

T

hose who regularly drink diet soft drinks may not lose weight. In fact, they may gain more weight for every diet drink they consume.

After collecting eight years of data, Sharon P. Fowler, MPH, and colleagues at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio reported in 2005 diet soft drinks may do more harm than good. Fowler discovered the overweight risk soars 41 percent with each daily can of diet soft drink. That isn’t to say that diet sodas and such actually cause obesity, but they may be a contributing factor.

There are some theories behind why diet sodas may trigger weight gain. First and foremost is the human factor. Many times people drinking diet sodas believe they can get away with eating higher calorie foods because of all the calories they “save” by drinking diet sodas. There are actually those who regularly order high calorie fast food and then round out the meal with a diet soda. Some wonder, “what’s the point?” While beverages

do contribute to overall caloric intake, the drinking of diet soda does not negate the amount of fat and calories that a poor food choice would bring to the table. The result may actually be overindulgence.

There is another factor in the diet soda/obesity connection.

The body may actually be smarter than one gives it credit for.

Upon drinking a sweetened diet beverage the body tastes the sweetness and thinks there are calories that will be coming with it. When there are no such calories, the body becomes confused and actually starts to crave even more calories to overcompensate.

Fowler offers proof to this idea. In a recent study, the feeding of artificial sweeteners to rat pups made them crave more calories than animals fed real sugar. So it stands that diet sodas with artificial sweeteners may actually boost appetite and make a person crave foods that aren’t quite healthy. The better idea for individuals is to just consume a sugared beverage, or better yet, opt for a tall glass of water instead.

NORTH COUNTRYMAN - 5

Week 3 —By Martha Breyette (Editors Note: Martha Breyette of Saranac is on a 14week goal to get in shape to compete in the inaugural City of Plattsburgh Half Marathon, Sunday, April 18.

Breyette will share her trials and tribulations in this newspaper through a weekly journal entry.)

W

eek 3 was a learning week for me ... First, I ran 4.5 miles, so, that was really exciting. I am seeing definite improvement in my confidence. I have had so much support and encouragement from my family, friends, and co-workers. It is amazing! My mom has been calling me every day to see how I am doing and let me know she is always in my corner.

I am starting to see some physical changes as I continue to lose a couple of pounds each week. I did have a couple of obstacles this week. First, I don’t think I was eating quite enough carbohydrates as I was feeling pretty sluggish a couple of days. So, Mary, my coach, helped show me some “good carbohydrate” options that I like to eat. Secondly, I started getting light-headed and dizzy.

Come to find out, I think I was drinking too much water — if you can believe it. I always thought water was good, but too much of anything has an effect. My problem was I was drinking plenty of water but on top of it I was drinking a sizable amount of Gatorade as well and not counting this in my daily intake of fluids. Now that I have changed these practices, I am feeling much better and stronger.

I have another big goal this weekend — I am supposed to run 5 miles, so, let’s see how I get through that.

For those of you still wondering if you can change your lifestyle, I would say pick one thing — be it diet, exercise or whatever — and stick to it.

Make yourself a priority and you will feel rewarded for it in the end.

Importance of weight training for women W

eight training is an important part of any exercise program.

However, this week, I will be focusing on the benefits weight training holds for women.

Many of the common issues women face can be addressed through lifting weights: Body fat, stress, weakness, insomnia, osteoporosis, poor balance, etc. Before you embark on a weight training program it is important to get your doctors approval and speak with a certified personal trainer to learn proper form and technique. Also to discuss any injuries or other medical issues you may have because certain exercises may not be appropriate for you.

Your trainer would be able to offer you other options.

You really don’t need a lot of fancy equipment or expensive gym memberships to train with weights. All you really need are a couple pair of hand weights to get you started. It will most likely take you a couple times to realize what weight you should be using for each exercise, but you want to make sure the weight is heavy enough and that it is not too easy. The object is to lift weights heavy enough to build muscle, which in turn will speed up your metabolism and burn more fat.

Weight training is a weight bearing activity which with consistency over time — at least six months — you will begin to increase your bone density which helps to prevent osteo-

porosis. Many women report after weight training they get a better night sleep. It can also be a great stress reliever taking your mind off other things while you are focusing on breathing, proper form, and technique. I have seen the confidence level in many of my women clients improve immensely even after a couple weeks of weight training, three times a week.

I have developed a program specifically to meet the needs of women called “Women on Weights” it is held at the CVPH Wellness Center at PARC. Sign up soon because space is limited. There will be three sessions starting in March, each meeting once a week for one hour — Mondays at 7:30 a.m., and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. You don’t need a membership to join the class. The program is $90 for members and $180 for non-members. Feel free to contact me at the Wellness Center at 324-2024 or by e-mail.

Deer take numbers to be released this month S

tate environmental officials should be releasing deer harvest figures for 2009 any day now, but indications are that northern zone totals could be down by as much as 20 percent.

DEC Wildlife Biologist Ed Reed said he’s been told by Albany staff to expect deer take results “in early February.”

If the indications ring true, the overall northern zone take could be in the neighborhood of 27,000-29,000 deer, down from 33,938 in 2008 and 31,797 in 2007.

Nevertheless, the DEC believes statewide totals will remain fairly flat from 2008, or slightly below the 222,979 deer taken during the 2008 season. That compares to 219,141 taken in 2007, and 189,108 in 2006. The highest total came in 2002 when hunters took 308,216 deer, 128,292 of which were bucks.

Reed attributed the poor northern zone take to difficult weather conditions, saying the deer simply weren’t moving as much during daylight hours.

From my personal experience, that certainly was the case, although some areas that got hit hardest by harsh conditions last winter seemed to have less deer this season than usual.

Near my home in Westport, however, the deer are out in force. I counted 37 merrily feeding away in one field a few evenings ago. It doesn’t appear as if last winter had much of an affect on the herd there.

Silver Bullet Meanwhile, Dick Johndrow, AKA “Silver Bullet,” sent me a photo of a massive 20-pointer he scored for a 41-year-old hunter from Long Island.

Johndrow serves as measurer chairman for the New York State Big Buck Club. The 20-pointer, taken with a bow on Oct. 26, 2009 by Bjorn Holubar, scored a net Boone & Crockett 202 and 5/8 inches, making it the number two non-typical buck killed with a bow in the state.

The deer weighed 210 pounds, had 10 nontypical points including a unique drop tine and had an inside spread of 20 and 3/8 inches.

The deer was dropped at 43 yards with a Bowtech Mighty Mite Bow and a 100-grain Muzzy broadhead. Bjorn, according to Johndrow, hunted a total of 60 days last fall.

Colby Classic The Saranac Lake Fish and Game Club will host the 26th annual Colby Classic Ice Fishing Derby the weekend of March 6-7. The derby starts at 7 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. each day.

Contestants can pre-register for the derby at the Blue Line Sports Shop in Saranac Lake, or on derby days at the Lake Colby beach house across from the Adirondack Medical Center on Route 86. Derby day registration begins at 6:45 a.m. each day.

The registration fee is $7 per adult for both days. Youths under 16 years of age can register for $3 per day or $5 for both days.

Contestants will be eligible to win prizes in the trout, salmon, perch and northern pike categories with separate prizes awarded to adults and youths. The tournament grand prize is a charter-fishing trip for two with Fish Doctor Charters of Mexico, NY. Door prizes and raffles will also be awarded.

Fifteen tagged fish will also be stocked in Lake Colby by the DEC. A $100 prize will be awarded to anyone who catches a tagged fish.

For information call derby chairman Cecilia Martin at 2014009 or co-chairman Patrick Ferrell at 891-3319.
