‘Spellbinding’ throat singers coming to NAC Free community concert next Thursday “They’re very different than anything you’ve ever seen. They’re all handmade, exquisitely carved.”

Baker, who first heard Alash in Burlington, Vt., last year, made contact with the band and will be bringing them to the area Feb. 23-25.

“I was amazed just at what I was watching and listening to,” Baker said of the concert. “It’s so different. I wanted to share that with the community where I teach.”

“I just couldn’t believe the level of quiet in the auditorium,” he added. “It was just this [magical] effect they had on the audience.”

As a music teacher, Baker knew Alash would fit will with the New York State curriculum on world music. He has been doing research on the Tuvan culture to help them better understand the history behind throatsinging.

“It’s really connected to nature,” he explained. “They try to emulate the sound

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com ELLENBURG DEPOT — The culture and music of Tuva will be brought to Northern Adirondack Central School next week.

Tuva, situated at the southern edge of Siberia, is home to Alash, a throat-singing quartet that combines traditional Tuvan music with modern influences.

Throat-singing, known as “xöömei” in Tuvan, is the ability to vocally produce more than one sound at a time.

“They try to achieve more of those overtones that the human voice naturally produces,” said Brian Baker, a music teacher at NAC elementary school. “So, when you listen to it, you actually hear two sounds at the same time.”

Alash also brings traditional Tuvan instruments into their concerts.

“They have drums and they have several styles of string instruments,” Baker said.

Alash, throat singers from Tuva, will be performing a free concert at Northern Adirondack Central School Thursday, Feb. 25. Members are, from left, Ayan Shirizhik, Bady-Dorzhu Ondar, Ayan-ool Sam, and Nachyn Choodu.

from nature. Like the bubbling streams or the clouds rolling by.”

“It’s their way of communicating with nature,” Baker added.

During Alash’s stay, they will be hosting workshops with the students during Baker ’s music classes.

“They’re going to be talking about the culture of Tuva. I’m sure they’re going to be talking about maybe some folks tories and legends behind the instruments,” he said of the workshops. “Maybe they’ll even go into about how they actually throat-sing.”

Local folks going crazy for curling

Second annual ‘hoolie’ will celebrate the Irish culture

LACOLLE — Though the Winter Olympics will soon be drawing to a close, there’s one sport that keeps people coming back for more.

Melanie Defayette, director of the Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department, has found Scotland’s native sport of curling has gained more and more attention since becoming part of the Winter Olympics. So much, in fact, people of the North Country have been traveling across the border to the Lacolle Curling Club in Quebec to play on the area’s only regulation curling arena.

Defayette said she knew about the sport, but first learned of the recent rise in interest in curling from Connie Harrica of Morrisonville. Harrica, herself, was introduced by a friend to the sport, which involves “sweeping” polished granite stones down a sheet of ice toward a circular target called a “house.” The sport,which she and Defayette both likened to shuffleboard, was one that immediately piqued Harrica’s interest.

“I watched it one day and decided I wanted to get involved,” said Harrica.

Though Harrica immediately took a liking to curling and wanted to tell others like Defayette, she wasn’t the only

Farmers market in need of organizer Village’s

By Sarah L. Cronk

“I’ve had a number of people tell me what a great idea it was,” she explained. “They would like to see it come back.”

In order for it to come back, Favreau said she is hoping someone in the area will step up and take on the role of manager.

“I’d be willing to work with somebody. I just don’t want to be in charge of it this year,” she said.

Last year, the market was held every Thursday from 2-6 p.m. because it was the best time for the Plattsburgh market. However, Favreau said the separation from Plattsburgh may give some leeway for the new organizer.

“Maybe if we’re not a part of a farmers market, maybe we could change the date to a Saturday or Friday,” she explained. “We’re really looking for somebody to who would be willing to step up and organize it. Make changes if they wanted to.”

sarah@denpubs.com ROUSES POINT — Although the community of Rouses Point enjoyed having a farmers market at Rouse Park last year, in order for it to continue, a new organizer is being sought.

According to Geri Favreau, comanager of last year ’s market, the Plattsburgh Farmers and Crafters Market will not be working with the village again at the Rouses Point Farmers Market.

“Not that they don’t have faith in us,” Favreau explained, “or think it’s a great idea. It’s just, they have their focus in Plattsburgh.”

During the past year, Favreau said she has received many positive comments from area residents, and other crafters and vendors.

“We have the people that come in and sell corn. They’ve been here ... many years,” she explained. “They’ve come and they set up and they sell corn. They just pay a peddlers fee.”

In order for the market to be held again this year, Favreau added the organizer would simply contact other vendors, such as the corn sellers, to see if they’d be interested in setting up.

“I got a lot of phone calls last year from different people that wanted to come,” she said. “[The manager] would have to reach out and find people who have produce that they want to sell, and maybe crafters.”

If interested in helping to bring back the market, contact Favreau at 297-2604 after March 8.

“It takes a couple of years to get something off the ground,” she said.

Favreau doesn’t foresee any potential problems with keeping the market at Rouse Park, except in terms of insurance.

“One of the biggest advantages to have the Plattsburgh market here was insurance,” she said. “[The market wouldn’t need insurance] if we had vendors that would come just as peddlers and vendors and not be apart of a formal market.”

However, Favreau said the village board has been supportive of various events that have been brought to the community, and would probably not have any issues with the use of the park.

“All of those details would have to be worked out,” she said.

In the past, other vendors have come to the area to sell their products, without actually being a part of a market. That’s an example which gives Favreau hope a new farmers market can be cre-

Grand Tour to bring $1 million to region

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — This summer, an estimated 2,000 cyclists, mainly from Québec, will trek through the region, generating revenue and making New York a biking destination for the future.

In a press conference held at the Plattsburgh-North Country Chamber of Commerce Feb. 10, Joëlle Sévigny, executive director of Vélo Québec, said the nonprofit organization’s mission is to encourage bicycling, good health and tourism — all of which the chamber is hoping the area can benefit from.

“Bicycles are a part of generating prosperity here in this region as well including our bi-national region here in the Québec-New York Corridor,” said chamber president Garry F. Douglas, “by maximizing the beauty and the routes and the assets that we have to really make this a biking destination.”

Beginning Aug. 7, cyclists will take part in The Grand Tour, a 6-day trip which is now in its 17th year.

“This year, for the first time in its history, The Grand Tour will begin in

[New York State] and we will spend four days in the states,” Sévigny explained.

The driving force behind The Grand Tour, Sévigny added, comes from joint efforts.

“It truly relies on it synergy between a municipality, an institution, and a chamber of commerce and tourist information,” she said, adding that is something New York has been able to offer.

During the tour, cyclists will hit such places as Glens Falls, Lake George, Ticonderoga, AuSable Chasm, and Plattsburgh — camping out at Clinton Community College while in Clinton County.

“I have to say that the Clinton Community College is one of the most beautiful sites that we have had so far,” said Sévigny. “It’s an opportunity to stay close to nature by sleeping under the stars.”

The town of Plattsburgh has also been working closely with Vélo Québec to make The Grand Tour a reality.

“The town of Plattsburgh is going to work very hard from today, going forward, to do some activities and you know they’ll be jointly accomplished with our

neighbor, the city of Plattsburgh, and other municipalities that may want to participate,” said Plattsburgh Town Supervisor Bernard C. Bassett.

Bassett added he hopes the presence of the tour in the area will bring out the efforts to “develop a healthier, a more welcoming municipality.”

Douglas added the key impacts of the tour are both economical and ecological.

“Over $1 million we expect to be spent by these bikers, and on their behalf, directly in the area,” he said.

Other economic impacts Douglas hopes to see will be cyclists wanting to return to the area in the future.

“The attention that this will get in biking media ... that this event is taking place here and the good commentary that I’m absolutely confident we will have afterwards that they loved their experience here and will tell other who enjoy biking about it that will bring others here,” Douglas explained.

In terms of ecotourism, he added the chamber and other business organizations in the area are focusing on green aspects.

“That goes for tourism

promotion and this is a key and growing area of green tourism and we’re branding ourselves as being part of that,” said Douglas.

Sévigny added she hopes people in this region will visit the tour ’s Web site, www.explorebybike.com, and check out the itinerary.

“People can join the event, so it can be interesting,” she said. “We do have people from the states, but hopefully since we’re coming to New York State, it will give people the taste to join us.”

Dinner to help NCCS Hockey ROUSES POINT — An all-you-can eat spaghetti dinner, sponsored by Friends of NCCS Hockey, will be held at American Legion Post 912, 29 Pratt St., will be held Friday, Feb. 26, beginning at 4 p.m.

The menu will consist of spaghetti with homemade thick meat, vegetarian or marinara sauce, salad, rolls, dessert and coffee.

The cost is $7 for adults and $5 for children ages 4-12.

The dinner will be served by hockey players from Northeastern Clinton Central School. Take-outs will be available.

How do I pick the perfect media player?

V

,

Adirondack Humane Society

ideo cassette recorders had a lot to do with building the home theater industry. Stereo system manufacturers watched the soaring sale of VCRs and quickly added new capabilities to their entire lineup. That put a home theater system within reach of many people making them as commonplace today as the microwave.

With VCRs mostly retired, systems today have a DVD player, at least, with some also featuring Blu-ray capability. Perhaps the newest component adding functionality beyond simple disk playing is a media player.

Lately, I’ve been testing a newer model from Western Digital. The exact model is Western Digital USB 2.0 WD TV Live. The footprint of the unit is quite small allowing for easy placement and it comes with almost everything needed missing only an HDMI cable. HDMI is perhaps the best way to connect a home theater component in terms of ease and performance.

Content connections on the player include two USB 2.0 ports and one Ethernet port. Content may be copied from a computer to a USB flash drive or external hard drive and

then the drive is directly plugged into the player to play the content. The Ethernet port allows for direct connection to a home network for direct streaming to the player.

With a newer 802.11n wireless setup and a supported USB wireless adapter connected to the device, users can wirelessly stream content from the home network directly to the player. The older 802.11g wireless standard would probably not give good results unless conditions are perfect.

The key to picking a media player for a home theater system is to match the intended use to the capabilities of the player, which

o you try to lose weight by putting certain foods off-limits? Depriving yourself of the foods you love, new research in rats suggests, might drive you to eat more of those foods later.

NIH-funded researchers recently found that rats given occasional access to sugary food ate less of their normal food even when sweet food wasn’t available. When the sweet food became available again, they overate it.

In other words, the rats were holding out for the good stuff.

The researchers suspect the brain’s stress system might be behind this behavior. Withdrawal problems for drugs of abuse are driven by the brain’s fear, anxiety and stress response. Could something similar happen when you deprive yourself of certain foods?

The scientists tested a drug that blocks the action of CRF, a molecule involved in the brain’s response to stress. CRF has been tied to withdrawal for every major drug of abuse.

The team divided rats into two groups. One received cycles of 5 days of regular chow and 2 days of sweet chow. The other was given only regular food. All the rats could eat as much as they wanted. After 7 weeks, the rats were given the CRF-blocker.

The blocker blunted the rats’ bingeing.

The diet-cycled rats ate more regular chow and then, when it was available, less of the sweet. The drug also blocked the rats’ anxious behavior when the sweet food was withdrawn. It had no effect on the rats eating only normal chow.

When eating regular chow, the diet-cycled rats had much higher CRF levels in a brain region involved in fear, anxiety and stress.

CRF levels were normal, however, when they were fed the sweet food.

Human eating behavior is more complicated than rats, of course. But these findings suggest that cutting out certain foods may cause you to feel stressed until you eat those foods again.

Research shows the best way to lose weight is to change your lifestyle to eat healthier and get more physical activity.

Some bright ideas for stockpile storage

T

his week, I’ll answer two e-mails from readers with stockpiling issues!

Q: “I enjoy your weekly column and am fascinated by all the deals you manage to put together. Do you have any advice for the single people who don’t cook for large families or who don’t have the capacity to store multiples of products as the current coupons require?

Any thoughts on couponing and the single lifestyle?”

Q: “I live in Southern California and the summers are very hot. I can’t store canned goods in the garage because the heat causes the cans to bulge. A basement would be nice, but out here we just don’t have them. Do you have any ideas for us out here in hot country?”

Sure! Stockpiling groceries at home is a fantastic way to “beat” the price cycles at the grocery store, which typically run on 12-week cycles. When you know an item you would like to buy will not be at its lowest price again for almost three months, buying enough to last your household three months ensures you won’t have to run to the store and pay a higher price. You’ll “shop from home” by using items from your stockpile, and the next time a sale comes around again, you can stock up once more.

But what do you do if you’re space-challenged? Believe it or not, stockpiling can be easier if you’re a single person.

While living in a smaller residence may limit your storage space, the upside is that storing three months’ worth of cereal for one person is going to take up a lot less room than three months’ worth of cereal for an entire family would.

And, when household cleaners go on sale, you could easily get buy with buying one or two instead of four or five — again, you’re going to base your stockpile on your usage needs.

Now, where do we put all of this stuff? My cousin started Super-Couponing last year. He is single and lives in a onebedroom condominium where space is at a premium. I’ve watched with great interest as he has come up with some of the most creative places to store his stockpiled items! He’s utilized under-bed boxes and drawers for everything from cereal to canned goods. Another often-overlooked place that

he’s embraced is the space above his kitchen cabinets. If you have open soffits, there is a lot of space up there that just sits unused. As a single guy, he doesn’t mind the visuals of having jars and bottles stored on top of his cabinets. If this bothers you, you could always camouflage them. Someone in a recent coupon class told me that they keep silk plants on top of their cabinets for aesthetics and for a very practical reason. Behind the plants are cans of soup and jars of peanut butter!

Furniture can be a great place to “hide” stockpile items. Many people have re-apBy Jill Cataldo propriated old armoires, china cabinets or buffets to store stockpile items inside. Kept in the dining room, they’re still close to the kitchen and can give you some overflow space to store more items.

Don’t feel like your stockpile items have to be limited to the kitchen area. During one good sale, a friend of mine filled her son’s bedroom closet shelves with boxes of cereal. I know one couple that decided to keep their sheets and towels in their master closet to free up the linen closet for use as a pantry. Clear plastic storage totes are good places to store stockpile items, too. They stack well and can sit on the floor of a closet.

Even in a warm climate, you can store non-food items in the garage. Paper products such as paper towels, plates, toilet paper, facial tissue and napkins all store well on garage shelves.

The key to stockpiling in any situation is to stop stockpiling when your allotted space fills up. Sales do come around again and again. It can be easy to get lured in by a great sale and take home much more than you need or use. If this happens, remember your local food pantry! Pantries will take food items, personal care and cleaning products. This is a good way to prune down your stockpile too if you find it’s starting to get too large. © CTW Features Jill Cataldo, a coupon workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

Finding ways to fit in fitness W

ith today’s hectic lifestyles and busy schedules it can be a real challenge when trying to find time to fit in exercise. The key is to make it convenient. Try some of the following tips to squeeze more physical activity into your busy day.

Wake up early. Wake up 30 minutes early and use the time to walk on the treadmill or take a brisk walk around the neighborhood.

Make household chores count. When you’re doing your chores, do them at a fast enough pace to get your heart rate going both indoors and out.

Be active while watching TV. Use hand weights, ride a stationary bike or do your favorite stretching routine while watching your favorite shows.

Involve the whole family. Take family walks before or after dinner. Play catch, or ride bikes. It’s best to work up to 30 minutes of exercise, but you can get that in with short bursts throughout the day.

Walk the dog. If you have a dog, take them for a brisk walk.

It will become routine and they will be just as excited about getting exercise as you will be.

Get social. Some people do better when having a commitment to another person or a group. Look up some group exercise classes, find a hiking club, or join a team.

Be active while running errands. Park at the back of the lot when you go to the store. Take the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator when at the mall.

Make the most of your commute. Walk, run, or ride a bike to work instead of driving.

Take fitness breaks at work. Instead of hanging out in the lounge, take a short walk.

Start a lunchtime walking group with coworkers. The regular routine and support of your co-workers may help you stick to a program.

Schedule physical activity as you would any other appointment during the day.

Don’t change your exercise plans for every interruption that comes along. Remind yourself that physical activity is important, too.

If you travel for work, plan ahead. Bring your jump-rope or choose a hotel that has fitness facilities. If you’re stuck in an airport waiting for a plane, grab your bags and take a walk.

Remember, there is no single best way to fit exercise into your day. Do what works for you, and make a habit of getting some form of physical activity everyday.

Week 5—By Martha Breyette (Editors Note: Martha Breyette of Saranac is on a 14-week 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.)

S

o here I am week 5. I ran 6 miles slowly in the cold but I did it. I am starting to feel more and more determined to meet my goal. I may be slow, but I am getting there. I feel so much healthier just for taking the time to do something for myself.

My diet of protein, carbohydrates and adequate fluids is becoming easier for me to handle and maintain. I find myself not missing my “snacks” that I used to think that I couldn’t live without.

I still struggle with the juggling of time but I make it work — my husband has been great about helping out around the house and with our daughter so I can squeeze in work-out time.

I continue to lose a couple of pounds every week, so that has been exciting. People are actually starting to see a physical change in my shape. I am encouraged by my friends who are so supportive. A few of my colleagues are talking more and more about fitness and helping each other out.

As I reflect on where I have come from so far, the key to success is truly making yourself a priority and relying on that support system to get you moving when you don’t feel like it. Hang in there it will come...

Rehab clinic reaching reality

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — Traveling to Albany from Keeseville on a weekly basis can take its toll on a person. Especially for Melody LaFountain, who does it with her 5-year-old triplets in tow.

The triplets — Anthony, Chandler and Luke-Richard — were diagnosed with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy at less than one year old.

“They’ve had a lot of delays,” LaFountain explained of the boys. “I mean fine motor skills and physical development.

Some things that they would typically do at maybe 18 months or 3-years-old, it’s like we’re starting to see some of that now. The progress they’re making is slow progress.”

But much of the progress they have received comes from LaFountain traveling to the Center for Disability Services in Albany, where the boys receive various forms of therapy to deal with their condition which affects body movement and muscle coordination.

“Eight or nine months ago, they couldn’t even hold scissors,” LaFountain explained. “Now, they’re holding and at least can cut a circle.”

“I can at least say if [they] didn’t get the therapeutic services, that they definitely wouldn’t be where they are today,” she added.

However, the services offered in Albany are something LaFountain feels should be in this area as well.

After meeting with the village of Keeseville board Feb. 2, LaFountain received the “okay” to begin planning out what will become the Adirondack Rehabilitation Clinic, which the village is allowing to be placed on six acres of land on Thompson Road.

“I just think our community, not just in Keeseville, but Peru, AuSable Forks, Elizabethtown, there’s so many kids right now not receiving services,” she said.

Currently, LaFountain is working to get blueprints made up of what the clinic could look like, including both aquatic and land therapy.

“All range of disability services that would be access to not only the aquatic physical therapy pool, but some may need to have more land versus water,” she explained. “It depends on their needs.”

The clinic would be a nonprofit, so LaFountain is hoping people will step forward and want to volunteer time to be a board member.

She also wants people to understand that the clinic will not be something she owns, or even manages, as she wants to keep her focus on the triplets.

“A lot of people think that personally I’m going to work there, I’m going to own the land, I’m going to own the building,” LaFountain explained. “No.” “I don’t want to gain anything out of it except for healthy people,” she added.

However, LaFountain does have a lot of hopes for the building, including not having insurance be a requirement.

“You’ve got people who don’t have insurance,” she said.

“What are you going to do with those people? There’s got to be a balance and there isn’t a balance right now. We’re all struggling with the health care system.”

LaFountain also hopes to bring in as many people from the community as possible, including students and doctors.

“I’ve written a lot of letters,” she said. “If we could actually incorporate with CVPH [Medical Center] or the ARC division ... One of those branches, to make this come or make this happen, would actually be the right move.”

LaFountain is currently looking for any input or sugges-

Curling

Early Ski Day registration due

From page 1

For more information or to register, call the chamber at 563-1000 or visit www.northcountrychamber.com.

one. Jan Letourneau of Rouses Point reached Defayette at almost the same time to tell her how much fun curling can be.

“Connie was in my office talking about curling and, out of the blue, Jan calls about curling. That was a little strange,” laughed Defayette.

“Since we’ve expanded our programs at the town to involve a lot of activities, especially for seniors, I thought this is something worth looking into. It goes with what we’re trying to do.”

So, Defayette took a trip north to Lacolle and learned more about the sport from Lacolle Curling Club coach Perry Anderson.

The greatest thing about the sport, said Anderson, though while somewhat physically demanding depending on the position you play, is that almost anyone can do it.

“It’s a sport you can start as a child and you can do even into your eighties,” said Anderson, who began curling in his forties.

When he began to play competitively, he, in fact, played against a man in his early eighties. It was then Anderson learned a valuable lesson about never underestimating your opponent.

“I thought to myself that it was going to be easy ... He whooped me,” Anderson said, laughing. “That’s what’s great about this sport. Anybody can play and anybody can win, depending on the skill they have.”

“It’s a lifelong sport because it reaches a span of all ages,” said Letourneau. “This is my fifth year doing it and it’s been exciting. I’ve even got my husband involved in it now. It’s something we can do together.”

Gilles Poupin and Michelle

Gosselin, also of Rouses Point, agreed.

“I’m up here at least three times a week. This is my fifth season and this is his first,” Gosselin said, pointing to Poupin. “It really gets you through the wintertime.”

“I like it,” said Poupin. “I met her on the golf course, and she asked me to come here and try it. It’s great.”

Gosselin said they both like how curling keeps them physically fit.

“At the beginning of the season, you’re aching a bit, but if you do it a few times a week, you get yourself in good shape,” she said. “I find it also keeps you alert because there are mathematical concepts as to where you want to place your stones to make your scorings.”

Most of all, the couple said they enjoy the friendships

they’ve made from participating in the club.

“It’s a very social game,” said Gosselin. “That’s a very important aspect of it.”

“I’ve found the folks I’ve met to be so friendly and welcoming when they see new people joining,” said Harrica.

“Everyone’s focused on their game, but very helpful along the way. It’s nice.”

Defayette said she’s interested in coordinating a regular trip to the Lacolle Curling Club through the recreation department.

“I’d love to take a group up if they express an interest, even if I get four or five people,” she said.

Those interested in participating are encouraged to contact Defayette at 562-6860, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Hoolie From page 1 ident, Marcy McNally.

The sold-out event was held at Westside Ballroom last year, which led organizers to search for a larger venue for this year ’s function.

This year ’s hoolie will be held at the Rainbow Wedding and Banquet Hall, 47 Woods Falls Road in Altona, Saturday, March 6, from 6-11 p.m. Although it’s out of the city, McNally is confident people will make the trek to the Northern Tier for the event.

“People know the venue,” she said.

The hoolie, which will be held in the Gold Room, will have the traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner, with a vegetarian meal also available. They will also have many of the same events as last years.

“We have the same band returning, which was a huge success last year,” McNally said,

referring to Inisheer, a highenergy group of musicians who play traditional music from Ireland and Scotland.

There will also be prizes given away for the greenest attire, which McNally said adds to the excitement of the evening.

“You can decorate the hall that you’re in ... but then the people become the decorations,” she said. “That’s exciting for us to watch them come in and be [in] crazy, fun outfits.”

However, one of the main events will be the dancing by Champlain Valley Irish Dance students.

The organization, which is taught by Marie Short from Montreal, brings old-fashioned Irish dancing into the lives of children as young as 5 years old.

The students will also help in the traditional Ceili dance, which will bring in people from the audience.

“You can think of [Ceili dancing] as Irish square dancing,’ McNally explained. “If

you come and you don’t know anything about Irish dance ...

[Short] gets them up and she talks them through it. It’s a progressive dance.”

Organizers are still looking to bring more of the Irish culture into the hoolie, but plans are still being confirmed.

“We’re hoping to add the Celtic dancers and maybe some pipers this year to the event,” explained McNally.

“We really are hoping to kind of own St. Patrick’s Day. We want that to be our event of the year.”

McNally said the event is tailored to families and invites people of all ages to come out to celebrate the Irish culture.

“Our group doesn’t just try to bring Irish dance to the North Country, we want to bring music and culture as well,” she said. “Because it’s a great culture and people get a lot out of it.”

Tickets are running out quickly, so people are asked to purchase them as soon as possible. They are being sold at

NORTH COUNTRYMAN - 7

Alan’s Party Supply, 11 Plattsburgh Plaza, or by calling Dolores Mooney at 846-7392.

Tickets are $24 for adults, $12 for children ages 6-12, and free for kids ages 5 and younger.

“It’s an effort on the part of every parent at the school,” McNally said. “Especially a huge effort on Marie’s part to take this trip from Montreal and to bring dancers with her.

It’s a huge thing. We’re really fortunate to have her talent here.”
