CCRS competes against world’s elite at Harvard

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAZY — Out of nearly 4,000 students from around the world who attended Harvard Model United Nations 2010 last month, Chazy Central Rural School is proud to say they took home an award.

Senior Michael Santor, a member of Chazy’s Model U.N. program, has been a part of the school’s club since it began four years ago.

“Basically, we take the U.N. and we shrink it down,” Santor explained of Model U.N. “A lot of teenage minds and young people with fresh ideas, we kind of just sit together and we just work out the world’s problems in three days.”

Santor, who represented a nongovernmental organization for the Ford Foundation, took home an honorable mention award.

Club advisor Steven Cross, a social studies teacher at CCRS, said Santor winning the award was

“huge.”

“It’s a ‘Best of ’ award in my mind, because most North Country schools don’t ever win an award,” Cross explained. “In four years, we’ve gone from no club to one of the best clubs ... and Michael is the epitome of that recognition.”

CCRS had to apply to attend Harvard Model U.N. While there, they competed against students from 25 states and 27 countries, according to Santor.

“It takes all year for these kids to do the research for Harvard,” Cross said. “They do a summer project for me which they all wrote 10-15 page papers, plus resolutions to even quality to go to Harvard.”

Both Cross and Santor feel the school’s Model U.N. program now competes with the school’s passion for soccer.

“Being Chazy, we’re all about soccer,” Santor said.

“This kind of diversifies what we do at Chazy and this shows that we can compete at an international lev-

el and be the best out of the state or the country or internationally.”

As the Chazy Model U.N. program has become a yearlong undertaking, club president and CCRS senior Lindsay LaValley is working to get enough money for students to attend the Harvard Model U.N. in the future.

“Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been writing fundraising letters to different organizations and government officials to try to garner money to go to Harvard,” LaValley explained.

“Since it’s such an awesome experience and awesome academic experience.”

The club now plans to attend North Country Model U.N. at Northeastern Clinton Central School March 1113.

“We’re taking 58 kids to North Country ... so it’s kind of turned into this fervor,” said Cross. “It’s all due to Lindsay and Michael and kids like these guys that make it look cool.”

Fourteen students from Chazy Central Rural School recently returned from Harvard University after partaking in Harvard Model United Nations. Here, Model U.N. member Michael Santor and club president Lindsay LaValley were amongst the 14 students. Santor returned home with an honorable mention award.

Northern Lights help resurrect a tradition

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

The North Country Squares Dance Club in Morrisonville recently welcomed the Northern Lights Square Dance Club of Champlain as the Northern Tier club reclaimed its traveling banner. The banner was “stolen” as part of a tradition known as a banner run. Dick Crawford of the North Country Squares is seen holding the banner with Northern Lights club members Margot Delbrueck and Lorraine Mcnaughton, as members of both clubs look on.

MORRISONVILLE — The North Country Squares Dance Club has resurrected an old tradition with the help of the Northern Lights Square Dance Club in Champlain.

The two square dancing organizations have brought back the popularity of banner runs, which involve clubs visiting one another and “stealing” the traveling banner which bears the other club’s name. The tradition is one started “years ago,” said North Country Squares co-president Celeste Roy, but fell by the wayside in recent years.

“We wanted to bring it back to life. So, last fall, we visited the Northern Lights club and took their banner,” explained Roy. “And, in order to get it back, they had to come to our club.”

The Northern Lights club did, recently

visiting the North Country Squares on their home turf at the Clinton County Fairgrounds.

Mary Bachelder, co-president of the Northern Lights club, said the banner run is old-fashioned fun that breathes new life into the square dancing club circuit.

“It’s a good practice because it gives you a reason to go to each other ’s clubs more,” said Bachelder. “It promotes people to travel more and meet the other square dancers in their area.”

The two clubs are the only ones left of their kind in the area, said Bachelder, who noted the closest clubs similar to them are in Montreal and Vermont.

“We’ve visited the clubs in Montreal but now it’s difficult for some of our members to go there because they don’t have passports,” said Bachelder, referring to the fed-

Spring hockey brings out the Mini Mites

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAZY — There’s a new team coming to town.

After a great turnout of youngsters during the winter hockey season, the Chazy Youth Hockey board of directors made the decision to add the Mini Mites to the Spring Hockey League.

The winter season was also the first in many years to have a Mini Mites team as well, due to a great turnout of coaches to help out.

“We had, I think, six to eight coaches on the ice almost every single practice,” explained Mini Mites team representative April Fessette, whose husband, Eric, is head coach.

“They were so dedicated and great with the kids,” she added.

The Mini Mites, children who were born since 2003, actually began as an initiation program which taught kids how to skate and other skills.

“The kids were just going out there and pushing around milk crates and just learning to skate,” Fessette explained.

“Then, we bump them up to IP2 [the next level] where they learn to skate, but we would let them have sticks on the ice and that kind of thing.”

For the Mini Mites, however, the coaches will take things a step further.

“My husband is trying to teach them more about skating with the sticks and a little bit more about hockey and getting involved,” said Fessette.

During the winter season, the Mini Mites played against

other youth hockey teams in the area including Plattsburgh; and Rouses Point and Vermont teams from St. Albans and Milton. During the spring, with the season taking place from March 1 to April 7, the Chazy Mini Mites will be the only ones in the area, so the kids will be split into different teams to go up against each other.

They will only be on the ice for games, as no practices will be planned. However, according to Fessette, there is much more to the games than just scoring.

“It’s bringing the families together, it’s something fun to do as a family,” she said. “You go in and you’re watching your kids skate, they’re having fun. It’s exercise, number one. It’s just a fun family thing to do.”

Games will be held at the Scotts’ Memorial Rink, 52 MacAdam Road, which was built in honor of Scott Wolter and Scott House, two former Chazy Youth Hockey players who passed away in separate car accidents more than 10 years ago.

“We have so much fun there,” Fessette said of the rink.

“The House and Wolter families have gone above and beyond. I can’t explain enough how great they have been to all of us. They’re almost like the parents of all of us.”

The Chazy Youth Hockey Mini Mites teams are made up of children from various towns, which is another aspect Fessette enjoys.

“We have quite a few [players] ... from Plattsburgh. We’ve got some from the Mooers area, some from Altona, West Chazy. it’s a good combination of pretty much the whole community,” she explained.

“You’re meeting more people and getting to know a larger group of people,” added Fessette.

Registration is still being accepted for children who may be interested in playing on the Mini Mites team for Chazy.

For more information, or to register, visit www.chazyyouthhockey.com. Registration space is limited, so people are asked to sign up as soon as possible.

Until the start of the season however, Fessette said there is still some Mini Mite action to be had.

There will be a Mini Mite Jamboree Tournament Saturday, Feb. 27, from 2:15-6:30 p.m., at Scotts’ Memorial Rink, where the winter season teams will play against the other youth hockey teams in the area, which Fessette planned along with assistant team representative Jamie Burdo.

“We’ve got all kinds of stuff going on,” Fessette said.

“We’re trying to get as many people out to watch the kids play.”

United Way meets, surpasses $700,000 fundraising goal

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — It was only a few weeks ago the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. was facing a $30,000 shortfall for its $700,000 annual fundraising goal. What a difference a few weeks can make.

During a press conference Feb. 5, John C. Bernardi, executive director of the local nonprofit organization, announced the fundraising campaign team not only met its goal, but exceeded more than they could have imagined.

“We’re announcing we exceeded our goal, raising $740,700,” said Bernardi.

The $70,000 boost was attributed to several business and individual contributions being “much more than expected,” said Bernardi, who credited attention to the issue being raised by the local media.

“We found it to be quite a challenging year for a number of reasons,” Bernardi said, citing the troubled national economy and reductions in the

local workforce. “On the other hand, we also saw many various successes along the way and saw many campaigns coming in above what they had last year.”

“We certainly experienced our share of people stepping up to the plate and recognizing that the needs are very great right now,” he added.

Jamie L. Basiliere, who chaired this year ’s fundraising campaign team, said that increase in support will go a long way with the dollars raised for the United Way and its 33 partner agencies.

“I’d like to thank the community at large who gave to the campaign,” said Basiliere. “People gave very, very generously and it’s been a great experience, thanks to the community.”

Both Basiliere and Bernardi also credited the work of the campaign team in reaching out to local businesses, organizations and individuals to make reaching the goal a reality.

“It was truly a team effort,” said Bernardi.

The next step for the United Way is for its allocations committee to deter-

mine the amount of funding that will go to each of its partner agencies. That process will begin later this month and conclude in mid-March, said Bernardi.

The total amount of requests is in excess of more than $1 million, but the amount raised will help the majority of the requests, said Sue LeBlanc, president of the local United Way’s board of directors.

“The blessing is, we have the funds to be able use to do that,” said LeBlanc.

The goal for next year ’s campaign will be set in the months ahead, and take into account the success of this year ’s campaign, the state of the local economy, and the employment situation in both counties.

“We will do all of those things,” said Bernardi. “I can tell you safely that we will not be lowering the goal and there’s a good chance we will raise the goal. I can’t tell you how much. We have to look at these factors.”

Regardless of the figure, Bernardi said the goal will be “realistic” when all factors are taken into account.

I’ve heard about IP addresses, but what are they?

,

A

Adirondack Humane Society

ll telephones are associated with a number. Anyone entering a certain number will be connected to a particular phone. Can we think of the telephone number as the phone address, that it is unique, and no other phone has the same number?

In the same way that telephones have a unique address, computers connecting to the Internet must also have a unique address. The addressing scheme on the Internet is IP (Internet Protocol). Unlike telephone numbers, IP addresses are long binary numbers that are easy for computers to manage but difficult for people to use.

Compare computer IP addressing to the system of phone numbers. When someone needs to make a call and the phone number is unknown they often turn to a phone book to find the number. What does a computer turn to?

It turns to the Domain Name System, the system that brings two main features to the Web. First it provides order to the naming scheme of Internet hosts while also providing the means in which to find a particular host, say Google, by specifying the name. DNS is the phonebook of the Web. It

works automatically through the Web browser to look up the IP address of a particular Web address.

Keeping with the Google example, when the user enters www.google.com into the address bar the PC may not immediately go straight to the Google Web site. It may first send a DNS request asking for the IP address of www.google.com. Somewhere, a DNS server responds with Google’s IP address which, when armed with the actual address, allows the original PC to send a Web page request to Google.

Internet Service Providers often maintain

By Ron Poland DNS servers for customers while DNS servers at the top are administered by ICANN — see www.icann.org for more information.

study conducted by Case Western University found more than 25 percent of spouses caring for a wife or husband with dementia experience depression. Researcher Katherine Betts Adams reports, “Caregivers have a long exposure to stresses and losses from the dementia and fatigue that come from caring for their spouses, so they experience fewer positive emotions.”

Caregivers also frequently experience loneliness, in part due to the reluctance many caregivers have to participate in social activities when their spouses are no longer able to socialize. Guilt can exacerbate isolation, as the caregiver becomes consumed by the responsibilities of caregiving and becomes less attentive to his or her own needs.

What can caregivers do? Former caregiver Carol O’Dell makes some excellent suggestions in her online blog, found at www.alzheimerscaregiving.com. Carol recommends caregivers sign up for an online class, in a subject of interest NOT related to caregiving, like learning a foreign language or a musical instrument. This serves two purposes: it gives the caregiver a social outlet and helps keeps the brain active and gives caregivers something to look forward to, without leav-

ing the home. She also suggests caregivers join an online discussion forum. Both AARP and the Alzheimer ’s association offer forums on their Web sites. If a discussion about any topic other than caregiving is desired, O’Dell recommends Gather.com for a variety of discussion groups. Little changes in the caregiving routine can also break up the monotony.

O’Dell suggests caregivers take a different route home from the grocery store or doctor ’s office, rather than just going on “autopilot.” Or maybe the caregiver can try a project like organizing photographs into a scrapbook, a little at a time. Little changes in the caregiving routine can make a big difference!

Gather your coupons … and multi-stack!

L

ast week, I introduced you to the concept of multi-stacking, a term I use to refer to any deal at the grocery store that involves applying multiple discounts to the purchase of the same items. Through multi-stacking, shoppers can enjoy even greater savings at the register each week, leveraging the power of store coupons, manufacturer coupons and additional sales or special promotions being held at the store.

My favorite deals are “money-back” supermarket sales, in which part of what you pay for your items is returned to you at checkout in the form of a Catalina coupon good for money off your next purchase. One of the stores I shop at recently had a “Spend $30, get $15 back” sale on a variety of items. I get very excited when I see these sales, because $30 is the total before coupons are factored in — precoupon, I call it.

This particular deal included a variety of cereals. All of them were priced at $2 a box. By buying 15 boxes I could reach the $30 spending mark and qualify for the special sale.

Now, right away, I suspect a few of my readers may be snickering a bit. Fifteen boxes of cereal? In one shopping trip? You bet! At my store, these great, high-level moneyback sales tend to come around only once every few months or so. When they do, it’s a great opportunity to stock up on the cheap. Cereal is an excellent item to add to your grocery stockpile at home. It typically doesn’t outdate for 11 months or more. And when you buy more, you save more.

I always take advantage of these sales when they come along. And I can’t remember a time when I paid more than a quarter a box for a name-brand cereal. Really. That’s actually the high end of what I’ll pay. I typically pay much less than that for cereal, as you’ll see during my story of this $30/$15 sale.

As I entered the cereal aisle, I was on the lookout for instore coupons. It’s always a good idea to scan for coupons that may be in dispensers or on the shelves of your supermarket. When I see coupons for products I like I always take a few, because I will have those coupons on hand next time

a sale comes around. Sometimes, the coupon you need to sweeten a deal is hanging right in front of you on the shelf. Keep your eyes open!

That was the case with my cereal buy. As I added 15 boxes to my cart, I spied a tear pad of $1 coupons for the cereal hanging on the shelf right under the boxes. So, I took 15 of them. I never clean out a store of coupons; there are typically more than a hundred coupons on a tear pad. Don’t be afraid to take what you will use! Remember, coupons are placed there in the hope you will use them and try the product.

By Jill Cataldo I headed to the register with my 15 boxes of $2 cereal and 15 $1 coupons. The cashier scanned my cereal and the register total came to $30. I handed the cashier my $1 coupons; after they were redeemed, my bill was $15.

I paid $15 … and I received $15 back in Catalina coupons good for my next shopping trip. So, I got back the same amount of money I spent on the cereal. My 15 boxes of cereal are, essentially, free.

I’ve stressed this point in previous columns but I can’t say it often enough: shoppers must think of coupons as cash.

They are essentially a form of cash, for shoppers and for the stores where we do business. When a supermarket has a sale like a “Spend $30, get $15 back,” shoppers still spend $30 on the items. My $1 coupons “paid” for $15 of my $30 spending and the store will get that $15 back from the manufacturer when it redeems the coupons. The $15 in Catalina coupons that I received function just like cash in the store.

They’re good for anything I want to buy on my next shopping trip. So, I view this as having exchanged one form of cash for another … but I’m still holding the $15 in my hand that I just paid for the cereal. It’s just in the form of a coupon now. And you know how much I love coupons! © CTW Features Jill Cataldo, a coupon workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

NORTH COUNTRYMAN - 5

‘Nor th Countr y Biggest Loser’ wants you!

Week 4 —By Martha Breyette

Applications for four-month progam due Feb. 22

(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.) am still on the right path to success. I continue to run three times per week and do crosstraining the other couple of days per week.

I ran a new goal — I made it to 5 miles! I couldn’t believe it. It was so amazing to get to 4 and now for me to be to 5 just seems unbelievable. I started running oen night when the weather was decent but ended the run in horrific winds and snow. I did have friends come and check on me to make sure I was okay — at that point I was so determined to finish. There was no turning back.

My new habits of diet and exercise are settling in and getting easier to maintain. Setting the time for the exercise is key for me so that I don’t have a chance to put it off.

It is so exciting for me as I have had so many people come up to me and say “Hey are you the girl journaling in the paper?” When I say “Yes,” they are so encouraging and supportive. It has been truly rewarding seeing some of my friends get back into exercise too.

For me the key is a strong support system — my family — is amazing. My husband, Ed, and my daughter, Abby, have been so encouraging. My daughter claims she is like “Jillian Michaels” and will help to keep me on track. They are already talking about watching me and cheering me on at the race.

At work I also have a core group of friends who are supportive and some are doing the race as well, so we have developed a team effort. Hopefully this will be what I need to accomplish my goal.

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — These days, being a “loser” can be considered a good thing — especially when it comes to losing weight and getting healthy.

That’s why the City of Plattsburgh Recreation Department and the Plattsburgh chapter of the American Heart Association have teamed up to host the first North Country Biggest Loser weight loss program. The two entities have joined together to find 10 people willing to make a commitment to make lifestyle changes and work with a personal trainer for four months beginning Monday, March 1.

Faith Osborne Long, regional director of the American Heart Association, said the program will be offered at the City Recreation Center at no cost to participants. The recreation department is donating a fourmonth membership in an effort to motivate people who may have used cost as a reason not to exercise. “[The participants] don’t have to pay for a membership, so we’re really looking for people with a lot of motivation, people who will really stick with it through mid-July,” said Osborne Long.

The program will be similar to the popular NBC television series, “The Biggest Loser,” which it’s modeled after, said Osborne Long — with a few exceptions.

“Our program isn’t going to be as competitive,” she said. “We won’t be voting people off. The 10 people who participate, we’re planning they’re going to make it to the end.

We’re going to look at how they did as a group because, really, we want them to be supportive of each other.”

North Country Biggest Loser also won’t

require participants to move to a fitness ranch for several weeks like the television show. Rather, the program will require attendance at two-hour workout sessions with trainer Mary Duprey Monday and Thursday evenings, as well as a commitment by participants to workout on their own time. The program will also feature education through guest speakers and require participants to keep track of their eating habits and work with dietician Ann Watts to see what improvements can be made in regard to nutrition.

“Right from the very beginning, we’re going to be asking them to keep track of what they eat and when they eat it. That way, we can work with them individually,” said Osborne Long. “It’ll be important to look at all those factors because, truly, we want people to stick with this and make the commitment.”

Steve Peters, the city’s superintendent of recreation, said the program is “a really great opportunity,” especially considering some alarming statistics out there.

Fifty-six percent of Clinton County adults and 43 percent of children ages 2-19, he said, are considered “at risk” or overweight.

“Those are really big numbers,” said Peters.

Though in line with the national average, Peters said that number still presents a challenge to be overcome.

“With today’s lifestyles, it’s a really big challenge to be motivated to get out there and do things,” he said. “We’re hoping this structure will help people recognize the benefits of healthy activities and then be able to capitalize on that and be a little bit healthier because of it.”

The support system the program will focus on — rather than offering prizes at the end like the television show — will hope-

fully be all the motivation participants will need, said Osborne Long.

“What we plan to do is recognize the group as part of Mayor ’s Cup activities in July, possibly introducing them and announcing how much they lost as a group, recognizing all of them for their hard work,” she said. “What we’re really looking for is people to make lifestyle changes, making changes in their eating habits, their exercise routine — really how they approach each day.”

“We can’t pull people off the couch to do it,” said Peters. “There has to be the desire, a passion within, and this is really the vehicle, the mechanism to help people take that first step.”

And, that first step is filling out an application to be in the program, said Peters. Candidates will be required to fill out a 14-page application which asks for a detailed medical history and other information necessary for program coordinators to know before a person is allowed to participate. A physician’s release will also be required.

Though there are only 10 spots available — open to people in or out of the city — there will also be a separate walking club for people with smaller weight loss goals that will run congruently with North Country Biggest Loser.

“That will allow people to get together with an aspect of camaraderie,” said Peters.

“And, a lot of people need that. Motivation can be tough for people sometimes and that’s the same if you’re overweight or not.”

Applications for North Country Biggest Loser may be picked at the City Recreation Center, 52 U.S. Oval, and must be turned in

by Monday, Feb. 22.

For more information, contact Peters at 324-7709.

Dos and don’ts of effective weight training W

hile you do not need to be a professional bodybuilder or elite athlete to reap the benefits of weight training, you do need to know proper techniques to see results and avoid injury.

DO · Lift an appropriate amount of weight — If you are new to weight training you want to choose a weight that you will be able to complete between 12-15 repetitions, while focusing on form and technique. · Use proper form — If you are just starting out with a weight training program, you’ll want to get advice from a certified fitness professional. A lot of times people tend to do exercises they see other people doing in the gym. However, a lot of times they are not being executed correctly. Learning the proper way to perform an exercise is extremely important when lifting weights to avoid injury and to see the results you’re putting the hard work in for. · Breathe — It is very important to breathe while you are lifting weights. You want to breathe out as you lift the weights and breathe in as you lower them.

· Balance out the muscle groups — If you’re working one muscle group, for example, the chest, make sure you work the opposing muscle group which would be the back. This way your focusing on a total body workout and you will be less likely to create muscle imbalances which can cause overuse injuries. · Rest — You want to avoid working the same muscle groups two days in a row. It is a good idea when starting out to work the major muscle groups two to three times a week.

DON’T · Skip your warm-up — Cold muscles are more prone to injury. Warm up for 5-10 minutes before starting your weight training routine. · Rush — Take your time while performing your exercises paying close attention to your form, technique, and breathing. · Overdo it — For most people, completing one set of exercises to the point of fatigue is typically enough. Additional sets may only eat up your time and contribute to overload injury.

· Work through the pain — If you feel pain, STOP! Try the exercise again in a few days or with less weight. Make sure you are doing the exercise correctly and/or that you are not aggravating a previous injury. · Forget your shoes — Having proper shoes while weight training is important for traction and support.

Most importantly, enjoy what you are doing and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask a qualified trainer. They will more than likely be happy to help you.

People and parks to join at eco-fair

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com POINT AU ROCHE — Through research, it has been proven parks and other green-spaces can provide a positive impact in ones life. Dr. Christopher Lemieux, hopes people will utilize Point au Roche State Park for that reason.

Lemieux, who received his doctorate in Geography and Environmental Management at the University of Waterloo in Canada, participated in the Canada - U.S. Fulbright Program, a “bi-national program of educational exchange.”

“I applied for [the Fulbright program] because I do work on parks and protected areas and climate change,” Lemieux explained. “It basically provides an opportunity for someone like myself to go study and learn in the U.S. and just learn about different systems that are going on in the U.S.” While studying at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh last year during the exchange, Lemieux rented out a cottage on Point au Roche Road.

“I was literally right beside the state park,” he explained. “I didn’t know anybody in Plattsburgh so I was spending quite a bit of time hiking.”

During his stay in Point au Roche, Lemieux received an e-mail from the Fulbright program about a new Eco-Leadership grant that was being offered.

“It provided an opportunity for people who were awarded a Fulbright and were on an exchange either in Canada or the U.S. ... to essentially apply for this Eco-Leadership grant,” he explained. “Basically it’s a way that people like myself who are living in another are and another community to basically give back to the community.”

Since Lemieux was spending so much time at the park, he made contact with the Friends of Point au Roche State Park in October to see if they may be interested in partnering up for the grant.

The friends and Lemieux learned in the beginning of November they were one of only eight groups to receive a $3,700 grant, out of nearly 50 who applied.

From there the friends and Lemieux decided to have the Healthy Parks, Healthy People EcoFair, which will be held at the Point au Roche beach May 8.

“We just wanted to get the message out there the role that protective areas play in a community,” Lemieux explained. “They provide spaces for people to participate in healthy activities.”

“You can go hiking, you can ride your bike in that park. You can go kayaking,” he added. “It’s a rather large park so it also protects a significant amount of bio-diversity. It just plays an important role in the community and I guess that’s not appreciated enough.”

To make the eco-fair a success,

Point au Roche State Park will be the scene of the Healthy People, Healthy Parks Eco-Fair, May 8. The friends of the park are currently looking for organizations to participate in the event.

Original photo by Daniel McCullum

Mary Simmers, president of the Friends of Point au Roche State Park, is hoping various organizations will step forward to provide environmental awareness to the community.

Currently the friends have sent out invitations to groups such as Cornell Cooperative Extension, Plattsburgh Green Committee, Lake Champlain Basin Program, and Department of Environmental Conservation.

“The idea [is] to try to engage as much of the community as possible in ecological aspects of the world,” Simmers said.

Along with demonstrations from the participating organizations, she is also hoping to have boat safety, bike safety, and fire safety demos for children and adults. “[We] hope to incorporate anything that really has to do with healthy aspects at the park and for people,” added Simmers. “A healthy park can relate to healthy people.”

The friends are still looking for more organizations to sign up for the eco-fair, which will be held May 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They are hoping for groups to bring a display which educates attendees about

what the group offers, as well as a demonstration. Nonprofit groups will have a table free of charge, while nonprofits are asked to pay $15 to cover expenses.

For more information, contact Simmers at 1-443-465-4914 or at simmersml@aol.com, or contact Alice Sample at 561-4213 or at asample79@charter.net.

“We just want to get the message out there ... this park exists and it’s here for you to use and there’s just a lot of associated benefits of having parks in your community,” said Lemieux.

Mid-winter has arrived in the North Country I

n the North Country, mid-winter is usually defined by the middle weeks of February, when many local schools typically begin a traditional, mid-winter break.

Although it may be difficult for many local residents to believe, we have already passed the mid-point of the season and winter is actually on the wane.

It doesn’t seem possible, with snow on the ground, solid ice on the lakes and a below zero nip to the air, that winter is on the way out. Yet, on the calendar, spring arrives on March 20, only 35 days distant.

However, there remain a wealth of opportunities available for locals to get out and enjoy the winter season with a variety of classes, courses and events in the region that provide individuals the opportunity to learn or refine new outdoor skills.

I am always encouraged to learn of the numerous programs in the region that help to connect local children and their families to the pleasures and treasures of the Adirondacks.

Saranac Lake, which is now in its 113th year of hosting the longest-running, winter carnival in the nation, has a full schedule of events planned to get local folks outside.

The annual frying pan toss is always a crowd favorite.

For a complete Carnival schedule and agenda visit www.saranaclakewintercarnival.com or call the Chamber at 891-1990 for further information.

The counties of Clinton and Franklin have also developed an outstanding listing of local recreational resources available online at http://www.scribd.com/doc/11954129/get -Moving-Guide-to-Physical Activity. The website features a variety of local events and programs that allow local residents to re-

Banner Run From page 1 eral government stepping up border crossing requirements last year.

While the North Country Squares club has 104 members, the Northern Lights club has only 27.

“It’s dwindling,” Bachelder said of interest she’s seen in square dancing.

However, bringing back activities like banner runs is something both Bachelder and Roy hope will spark new interest in what they consider to be “a fun time.”

“This is a great way for the local clubs to socialize and get to know each other better,” said Roy, “and for people to see how fun square dancing really is.”

“We have a small club.

Small, but fun,” said Bachelder, laughing.

The North Country Squares Dance Club meets regularly at the Clinton County Fairgrounds and may be reached by calling Roy at 492-2057 or co-president Dick Crawford at 5617167. The Northern Lights Square Dance Club meets regularly at Northeastern Clinton Central School in Champlain and may be reached by calling co-presidents Mary or Arthur Bachelder at 298-4599.

main active and healthy.

Fun on mid-winter break As always, the Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department will offer a variety of free programs during the school vacation. Program offerings will include crosscountry skiing, ice skating and snowshoeing sessions.

A bit further north, the Clinton County Youth Bureau and the Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department are cohosting a Family Winter Outdoor Adventure Program Feb. 17-19. The free, three-day program will introduce youths, 7 years of age and older, and their families to such skills as hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and environmental issues. Pre-registration is required for the program. To pre-register, contact the Clinton County Youth Bureau at 565-4750.

There will also be instructional archery classes available for children ages 8-13 at Gander Mountain on Feb. 16 and 18 from 67 p.m. Equipment will be provided at no cost and space is limited. Pre-registration is required by calling the Recreation Department at 562-6860.

Additionally, the Beartown Ski Area will provide free skiing and snowboarding on Feb. 14, from 6-9 p.m. and there will be Winter Disc Golf for youths ages 13 years and up, on Feb. 19, from noon-1 p.m. at the Cadyville Park Disc Golf Course. Skiing, snowshoes, golf and Frisbees, what a unique combination!
