St. Mary’s Academy open house aims to increase enrollment By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — After a dip in enrollment for the 2009-10 school year, St. Mary’s Academy has decided to open its doors next week to show the unique educational environment they have to offer. The school will be open half a day Thursday, March 11, closed Friday, March 12, following the schedule of Northeastern Clinton Central School. However, St. Mary’s principal Sister

Marie Cordata Kelly said the school will remain open both days to allow NCCS students in pre-K through sixth grade to come and see the way the school is run. “We’re going to have ‘pseudo’ classes,” Cordata said. “They’ll be classes to give a taste of our education, but it’ll also be fun.” Students do not have to stay the entire two days, but can come and go as they please. Parents are also welcome to visit the school. “We believe that if people, especially the kids, see the

school and they experience the school, they want to come to the school,” said Father James Delbel, pastor of St. Mary’s. “It’s a nice atmosphere. It’s relaxed, happy.” Delbel said he isn’t against what public schools have to offer, yet is aware of some kids who have fallen through the cracks. “They just need that little special care that we can give to them,” he said. “We’d like to sort of encourage them to take a look at us and maybe,

HEMMINGFORD, QC — Following the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January, people across the globe have worked to provide relief in any way. Seventeenyear-old Jerika Manning was one such person. Manning, who is a member of the Mooers United Methodist Church Youth Group Café, said she was upset when she heard about the Jan. 12 quake. “I was also upset knowing how far I am from Haiti and that I really couldn’t do much to help them out,” she explained. “There were a few fundraisers in my college at the time, but I really

wanted to do more.” At church, Manning read an insert in the bulletin which suggested ways people could help the people of Haiti. One such way was to put together health kits. “I asked Pastor Al [Johnson] about the bags and he gave me all the information that he had and told the congregation that I was doing these bags and I got donations instantly,” Manning said. “It was really successful.” Johnson said UMC has a world-wide relief agency, United Methodist Committee on Relief, which is able to get into a country after a disaster to provide help. “They’re actually quite

Cougars trump Patriots in Section VII playoffs By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Katrina Garrand’s 18 points helped lead Northeastern Clinton Central School’s girls varsity basketball team to victory over AuSable Valley during the Section VII Class B semifinals game Feb. 26, at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse. With a score of 46-32, NCCS’s win will now put them up against Saranac’s team this Friday, March 5, at 7:30 p.m., also at the Field-

house. “I think it’s the hustling of my girls,” said David Lambert, coach for the Cougars, of their win against the Patriots. “Katrina [Garrand] and Chelsey [Brooks] ... they did a good job.” Lambert also contributed the win to help from other plays such as Mary Elizabeth Franke, Rachelle Barcomb, and Cari Dominic. “They got lots of rebounds for us,” he said of the girls. “I’m just proud of my girls and glad we made it this far,” Lambert added. Roger Long, coach for

AuSable Valley said he felt his entire team played hard. “It was a team effort. I don’t think anybody stood out offensively or defensively,” he explained. “Everybody gave everything they had. [We just] struggled a little bit.” Alexis Coolidge scored the most points for the Patriots with 14, while Michelle Taylor knocked down two 3pointers and finished with 7. “Northeastern’s a good team. They played well and that’s the reason they were in the top four last year,” Long said.

Passing on the love of music

M

y new column will be for those wanting to learn music and for musicians of all levels from beginners on up, including promoting musicians. I decided to write this column because of my love for music and teaching others. I will be giving tips and advice on buying and caring for musical instruments as well as a few riffs, tricks and some easy chord progressions for beginners and intermediates (Note that my students are taught the basics of chord-scale relationship, which is a must in order to understand music theory.). This month, I will go over a song written and recorded by Ben E. King in the early ‘60s. According to BMI, “Stand By Me” has been performed more than 7 million times and recorded by such artists as U2, Bon Jovi, Otis Redding and John Lennon, to name a few. It’s a song we all know and many love. The I, VI, IV, V chord progression remains the same throughout the verses and chorus. This song is in the key of A Major but I like to play it with a capo on the second fret. The added tension on the strings allows me to get a little fret buzz as I play the walking bass lines leading up to the chords. I chord=G major; VI chord=E minor; IV chord=C major; V chord=D major. Play along with just the chords or play the walking bass lines leading up to each chord. If you don’t own a copy of the song you can find many versions on Youtube.com.

From page 1

It’s a fun song for all and a great example of less is more. Four chords plus a great melody equals BillBoard hit song. For songwriters — try using the same four chords and make up your own melody on top of them. It might not be so easy to get the Stand By Me melody out of your head. Good luck! Tip of the month: For those of us who can never find a plectrum or pick, throw a couple of them in the sound hole of your acoustic or slide a few between the body and pick guard of your electric. Simple habits will make your practice time more enjoyable. Remember, play it the way it was written ... with passion!

Charron has been a musician since the age of 14 and has been teaching others for 15 years. He can be contacted by e-mail at johncharron@yahoo.com or by phone at 297-ROCK (7625).

highly regarded,” Johnson said of the agency. “They were one of the lead agencies after Hurricane Katrina.” The health kits are one of the main types of relief the agency brings after a disaster, which consist of necessities such as soap, toothbrushes, bandages, toothpaste, combs, towels, and washcloths. “Things that specifically can get into foreign countries and have been approved for transport and won’t have trouble getting across customs and so on,” Johnson explained. When Manning decided to put the health kits together, a special collection was taken up at church and she, along with youth group member Andrew DeLong, set out to gather the proper supplies. On Feb. 17, Manning, along

with her brother, Dylan, worked to put together 20 kits. “It felt great after completing the bags and sending them away to be sent to Haiti,” Manning said. “I wish that I could do more, but there isn’t much that I can do right now. Hopefully, in the future I can help Haiti more.” Johnson said Manning’s willingness to help in the relief efforts was “wonderful.” “It’s always awesome to see a young person, given the pressures that are on them, to want to reach out and be willing to take time out of their day and put these packets together ... Warmed my heart.” If interested in making a donation to UMCOR’s Haiti Relief effort, visit www.umcor.org.

Local youth receives honors at Model UN By Sarah L. Cronk

Retherford began Model UN in ninth grade, a requirement for honor students. “I ended up being pretty good at it and its something that I’ve always been interested in international politics,” she explained. After receiving Best Delegate at both the Beekmantown Model UN and North Country Model UN in 10th grade, Retherford applied to be on the Harvard Model UN team.

sarah@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — She’s the first student at Beekmantown High School to receive honors twice in a row at Harvard Model United Nations. Senior Bryn Retherford, who took part in Harvard Model UN Jan. 28-31, represented Bolivia in the United Nations Council for Human Rights.

She competed last year receiving Outstanding Delegate, an accomplishment she achieved again this year. “I was kind of shocked that I was able to win an award again,” Retherford said. “I know I had done well, but I’m actually the first person from my school to win two awards at Harvard ... I was really happy that all my hard work was recognized by the director and moderator.” Retherford said she pre-

pared for the Harvard Model UN for six months, reviewing numerous studies from the United Nations. “I have actually a binder that’s probably about 500600 pages worth of studies that I had to read,” she explained. “It’s a lot of work.” Scott Tuller, advisor for the school’s Model UN program, said he expected Retherford to receive the award again. “After having worked with delegates for a long time

takes so much research and so much work and so much concentration,” Tuller said. “For her to do it again, I’ve never seen anything like it. She has a lot of poise and she’s an outstanding research and she’s pretty dogged about her approach. She goes right in there and runs the show.”

Shorter URLs can be easier to remember A

,

Adirondack Humane Society

few weeks ago, we looked at the Domain Name System, which is the system that translates a Uniform Resource Locator to the actual Internet address of a Web site in order to simplify Web surfing. For example, users may enter the easy-to-remember www.google.com instead of 72.14.204.104 when desiring a trip to the Google search engine. The goal for the Web industry, when it comes to domain names, is to design easy to remember names to make it as simple as possible for the average user. That’s easy to do when dealing with the home page of a site, but how is it accomplished when a specific page buried deep within a site is needed? One answer is to use a shortened URL. The shortening of a long URL is a service that acts very much like DNS except it does not translate a URL to an Internet address; it translates a shortened URL to the actual one. TinyURL is credited with being the first such service, starting around 2002. Since then, hundreds more have appeared with some belonging to notable companies like Google.

Shortening the URL does make it easier for a user to find resources on the Web but it also lends itself to malicious actions. Users could be redirected to a legitimate site or they could be whisked away to a malicious site. Early pranks with shortened URLs took unsuspected users to one of the various so-called shock sites. Shortened URLs have become problematic in social networking sites to the point they are banned from some. For others, IT professionals highly recommend users always preview a shortened URL before clicking it. Visit expandmyurl.com or By Ron Poland www.longurlplease.com to learn more about both shortened URLs and browser plug-ins that give preview capabilities to the user.

elaxation exercises can be very useful in relieving tension and enhancing an overall sense of relaxation. The focus of these exercises is to calm the body and mind. Relaxed breathing involves breathing through the diaphragm, which improves circulation and slows down heart rate. To begin, find a comfortable place to lie or sit. Breathe through the nose slowly, allowing your belly to fill with air, while keeping your chest and shoulders still. Exhale through the mouth, letting your belly relax. Relax, and wait for your body to take its next breath. Place your hand on your abdomen, and inhale slowly. Practice this several times a day, for a minute or two each time. Muscle relaxation techniques involve consciously relaxing all or part of the body and calming the mind as well. Again, start by getting comfortable. Close your eyes and take a few relaxed breaths. Relax your face, including your eyes, jaw, and neck. Now, focus on relaxing your shoulders, letting go of all tension. Let your shoulders drop. From the shoulders, move on to relaxing the arms, hands, and fingers. Let your arms feel

loose and floppy, like a dishrag. Relax your back and chest, breathing all the while. Finally, focus on legs and feet. Spend a minute or two in this state of total relaxation, keeping eyes closed and breathing deeply. Visualization techniques begin with getting comfortable and breathing deeply. Close your eyes and picture a peaceful place, either somewhere you have visited or a place you imagine as restful. Imagine this place vividly, with colors, sounds and smells. Place yourself in this imaginary spot for a few minutes, breathing and relaxing. When you are ready “to leave,” open your eyes but remain peaceful for a minute or two. Try these techniques whenever stress becomes overwhelming, and practice them regularly.

Couponers share wealth with local pantries

I

received an e-mail from a reader with a great idea about how to share couponing expertise for the good of our communi-

ties: “I enjoy reading your articles in my paper every week. I would love to [read] an article encouraging people to use these ideas to shop for local food banks! If someone doesn’t need more cereal to stockpile or doesn’t use a particular brand of something, encourage them to use the coupons to make deals and then donate those products to the food bank.” I agree one hundred percent! I am a big believer in supporting our food pantries and food banks, especially in the current economy. It’s rare that a week or two goes by without me visiting and bringing bags of groceries to our local food pantry. I’m not trying to pat myself on the back, but as the reader notes above, the reality is that once we start coupon shopping and improving our Super-Couponing skills, we do reach a point where we may acquire more supplies than we need to support a single household. I have held off discussing the many ways our local food banks and pantries can benefit from Super-Couponing until now, and I shouldn’t have waited so long. I am quite aware of how many people truly are hurting right now and having difficulty putting food on their tables. For some, the prospect of having not just enough but actually a surplus of food might be hard to imagine. Yet, when you become a proficient coupon user, matching your coupons to your stores’ lowest-priced sales, you indeed may find you reach a point where you’re able to pick up even more things very inexpensively and pass them along to others in need. Many of my Super-Couponers have written to share their stories of “scoring” food for their local food pantries. One reader wrote to tell me of a $1 yogurt sale at her store ... and right in the coupon dispenser in front of the yogurt were $1 coupons for the same yogurt! She bought what she needed for her family, and then went on to buy more for her local food pantry, too ... and none of it cost a thing! Another reader told of a juice sale in which the bottles of juice were $2.29 and each bottle had $2 peel-off coupons attached to the labels. He

stocked up and picked some up for his local food bank, too. I’ve had some memorable runs for my local pantry. Recently, a name-brand manufacturer of bratwurst offered a printable coupon on its Web site for $5 off the purchase of three packages. It was an unlimited printable — rare, but not unheard of. (I always hit the back button in my Web browser to try to print coupons until I receive the message that the print limit has been reached, because some coupons do have higher print limits and, occasionally you may run across an unlimited printable.) This was a very valuable coupon, since one By Jill Cataldo of my area stores was also having a sale on the same brand of bratwurst: three packages for $5. With a coupon for $5 off the purchase of three, all of the packages were free! And with an unlimited printable, I could print as many as I’d use. Early in the week, I bought as many packages as our family would use before the expiration date. On the last day of the sale, I printed 15 more of those coupons and purchased 45 more packages of bratwurst! (Note that I never clean out a store of a product — the store had a huge supply on hand for this sale.) Then, I took all those brats to our food pantry. The volunteers and I giggled as we stuffed packages of brats into every available inch of their refrigerator. A week later, I returned to the pantry to drop off some other items, and I peeked in their fridge to see how many brats were inside. Not a single package of brats was left. That’s when I realized just how many people are utilizing our local food pantry every day. It’s a similar story at food banks all over the country. If you’ve reached the point in your couponing journey where you’re able to feed your household for less and pass along surplus items to your local food banks, I guarantee you’ll find it incredibly rewarding to do so. © CTW Features

Tammy Clark Rivers benefit Saturday at Beekmantown VFW By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — When she learned her friend was facing terminal illness, Dawn Morrow said she and a group of their mutual friends knew they wanted to do something to help. Morrow’s friend, Tammy Clark Rivers of Keeseville, was diagnosed with stage four bone cancer late last year. The two women met through the Plattsburgh chapters of the Harley Owners Group and Ladies of Harley, two motorcycle riding organizations. “We’re just one big family and when we heard about her cancer, we knew we needed to do something,” said Morrow. Morrow and her friends have finalized plans to hold a spaghetti dinner benefit at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1466 on Spellman Road, hoping the event will help Rivers and her husband, Tim Rivers, with the financial burden they’ve incurred for cancer treatments. “We just want to help them to pay some of their medical bills,” said Morrow. This is Clark Rivers’ second bout

with cancer, she added. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago, and, following treatment, it was believed it had been eradicated. “The doctors thought they got it all, but come to find out, she was only in remission,” explained Morrow. Clark Rivers’ troubles came back last August when she went to the doctor with back pain. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1466 will host a benefit this Sat“She had a blood urday, March 6, for Tammy Clark Rivers of Keeseville and her test and found out the husband, Tim Rivers.

Week 7—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 7. I can’t believe I have stuck to a regimen for more than a month and haven’t quit yet. It seems to be becoming more of a routine everyday. I ran 7 miles this weekend and actually felt okay afterwards. I am still slow in my pace but the distance seems to be okay for me. I still have to remind myself to keep hydrated so that I don’t feel lousy. Now my struggle is getting back from the warm weather and having to fight getting a cold. This is the first time I have been sick since I started this regimen so it is new for me. I am trying to balance keeping up with my exercise and not feeling too run down. I am taking extra vitamin C and watching my peak flows so my asthma doesn’t get affected. I find myself also wanting to try other exercise workouts like Zumba and Pilates. I never thought I would be such an exercise enthusiast but it really does make me happy. I feel stronger all the time for what I am accomplishing. I just have to stick with it to see my end result.

Low-cost ways to get in shape Y

The local chapter of the New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association, which represents correction officers at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, presented CVPH Medical Center’s Center for Women and Children with 10 DVD players and approximately 40 DVDs Feb. 18. The donation, augmented by storage carts provided by Wal-Mart, was made as part of a continued commitment by the chapter to give back to the community. The donation was presented and received by, from left, correction officer John Ireland, Center for Women and Children director Maria Hayes, nursing student Alpha Prasso, nurse Stacey Wood, Foundation of CVPH director Kerry Haley, nursing student Nicole Novello, nursing student Alyssa Manuzzi, correction sergeant Mike Guynup, and correction officer David Duquette.

ou don’t need an expensive gym membership to get in shape. You don’t even need to spend a ton of money on expensive equipment. If the only thing stopping you from getting is shape is the thought of a pricey membership than consider these low-cost solutions to help you get started. · Take advantage of everyday opportunities. Take a brisk walk. Walk 15 minutes out and 15 minutes back for 30 minutes a day of cardiovascular exercise. Like I’ve mentioned in past articles, you can sneak in some extra steps by parking further from your destination, or taking stairs instead of elevators. Make household chores count or have some fun with the kids and join in their play. · Consider modest investments. Some inexpensive simple options you may like to consider investing in are dumbbells (small handheld weights), resistance tubing, jump ropes, or exercise videos or DVD’s. · Improvise. If you’d rather not spend a penny on exercise equipment, you can use items you may already have on hand. Canned goods can double as hand weights. If you need something a bit heavier, try using empty milk or water jugs filled with water. You can put them on a scale to see how much they weigh.

A sturdy step stool can be used as well, and please don’t forget about my favorite exercise … The Pushup! If you are not able to do a full push up right away it can be easily modified by doing them from your knees or against the wall. Squats are another great exercise that can be done with no equipment. Start by doing them sitting into a chair and standing up again until you get the form correct. Eventually you will be able to do them without the chair there at all. Exercise can do you a world of good but not if you get caught up in the things you need and don’t have. Stay focused on your goal and be creative with all the ways you can reach them without breaking your budget

Alexanders honored by United Way By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. has named Daniel E. and Gayle M. Alexander recipients of this year's Dorothy and Alan Booth Distinguished Citizen Award. The Elizabethtown couple was presented the award during the organization's annual dinner at the West Side Ballroom Feb. 27. The award, established in 1985, recognizes its recipients for their commitment to the community. The Alexanders exemplify what the Booths stood for, said United Way executive director John C. Bernardi “Dorothy and Alan Booth epitomize volunteers, community spirit and compassion,” said Bernardi. “Dan and Gayle are also credibly generous to the community with their money, their time, their energy and their enthusiasm.” “I like to refer to them as ‘the dynamic duo,’” Bernardi added with a laugh. The award was a surprise to the Alexanders, as the couple thought they were attending the annual dinner just as they have done in the past, to support the United Way and honor the Distinguished Citizen Award recipients. “We were surprised and humbled to be considered in the com-

pany of the former recipients,” said Dan Alexander. “John confirmed that we would be attending but did not say why.” “We always try to attend each year so in hindsight it was a strange question,” added Gayle Alexander. The Alexanders, who have both been avid supporters of the United Way, each said they were humbled when called to the podium. Dan Alexander, who chaired last year ’s fundraising campaign, said, like those honored before them, their commitments to the community aren’t made to win awards. “Our actions are based on the way we were brought up by our families, schools, church and our sense of responsibility to give back to the community,” he said. “Gayle and I have been very fortunate in life; we’ve worked hard, enjoyed the fruits of those efforts and have been able to share with others. That in itself is reward enough, but to be so recognized with this award was truly a surprise.” “We get so much satisfaction and joy to be able to give our time to causes in which we really believe,” agreed Gayle Alexander. “I think we get back much more than we give. We were truly touched to receive this award.” The award meant even more to the Alexanders as they were the first honorees to receive the award since it was given last year to Gor-

don J. Hazel Jr., who recently passed away after a long battle with prostate cancer. “It is quite an honor to be considered in the same company as Gordon, the Booths and, for that matter, all of those who have been singled out in the past for this honor,” said Dan Alexander. “One can't help but feel a little overwhelmed and even undeserving when you look at the list of recipients. We are both honored and humbled to be a part of that distinguished group.”

“If I had to share an award with anyone, I can’t think of a better person to share it with than my wife of 34 years and counting,” he added. “She has a very big heart and is tireless in her support of community projects.” “That goes double for me,” added Gayle Alexander. “I am always in awe of how much Dan can fit into a day, from early morning meetings to late nights in his study. I use him as my role model. I'm very pleased to see that kind of

dedication recognized by our peers.” Bernardi said naming the Alexanders as this year ’s recipients was a well-made decision. “This couple works extraordinarily hard for causes they believe in ... they are truly deserving of the classification as distinguished citizens,” he said. “I’m so proud to be a friend of theirs. They’re two people that I respect and admire a tremendous amount and they’re both an incredible asset to our community.” In addition to Gordon J. Hazel Jr., past recipients of the Dorothy and Alan Booth Distinguished Citizen Award include: Dorothy Crawford, 2008; Bonnie Black, 2007; Larry and Judy Jeffords, 2006; Michael Whalen, 2005; Andrew Schonbek, 2004; Dr. Kjeli Dahlen, 2003; Robert C.

St. Mary’s From page 1 if possible, to come next year.” Lisa DeLong, who has two children who attend St. Mary’s, said it took just one day for her to be impressed by the school. “The first day I was there, like three or four teachers knew my children’s names,” she said. “As we left, they said ‘Goodbye.’ That impressed me so much because why should a fourth grade teacher know my first-grader? I had never experienced that.” DeLong said everyone in the school acts the same way. “Right from the lunch room person, to the gym teacher, to the janitors, to the principal, to the priest. Everybody knows all the children and I think that’s what makes it so special,” she said. Another aspect of the school Cordata, DeLong and Delbel all noted, was there is no bullying and teachers never raise their voice to the students. “Those types of things don’t happen at St. Mary’s,” said

NORTH COUNTRYMAN - 7 STAIRS GOT YOU DOWN? YOU NEED A STAIRLIFT!

Sportsman’s show next weekend for outdoor enthusiasts By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com ALTONA — After the annual gun show at the Altona Volunteer Fire Department was canceled last year, partners Suzie Thaller and Jeff Rabideau started their own gun show. Now, they’re it expanding even further. The gun show, held in the fall and hosted by Rabideau’s business, JL & Sons, focused mainly on guns, with some “extras thrown in,” explained Thaller. However, now the two are working on having a somewhat different kind of show — the Altona Sportsman’s Show. The event — which will be held at the Rainbow Wedding and Banquet Hall’s Gold Room, 47 Woods Falls Road, Saturday, March 13, and Sunday, March 14 — will feature more than 50 vendors, with more than 180 booths. “You can’t get out and do your yardwork yet,” Thaller said. “There’s really not a whole lot going on

in March. It’s good for the families to get out and there’s something almost for everybody.” The vendors at the show will have items such as cabin decor, wildlife artwork, hunting and fishing gear, and firearms. “We’re hoping to get people that like the outdoors and outdoors’ rustic view for their home, as well as the things they do for activities,” explained Thaller. Thaller, who is a wildlife artist herself, said this event is “edgier” than a craft fair, as there will be items such as leather gun slings, custom woven fishing reels, and fly casting rods — all of which Thaller and Rabideau plan to start carrying at JL & Sons as well. “We can’t compete with Gander [Mountain] and Dick’s [Sporting Goods],” she said. “The only way we can do that is if we have some kind of specialty that draws people in. The shows and the shop kind of mirror each other with what we’re doing.”

Another important aspect of the show is all the vendors are local, coming from throughout the North Country and parts of Northern Vermont. “It’s hard to make it as a small business and it’s hard to make it especially as an artisan,” Thaller said. “I think the little businesses are the ones that are going to save the economy eventually.” Thaller noted many of the exhibitors were found with the help of Shane Dutil and his family, owners of D & D Meats in Sciota, locally famous for their Jeezum Crow Beef Jerky, which will be in the men’s gift baskets raffled at the show. For more information regarding the Altona Sportsman’s Show, visit www.altonashows.com or call JL & Sons at 236-4934. The show will be open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, March 13, and 9 a.m.3 p.m. Sunday, March 14. General admission is $3. Children younger than age 10 will be admitted free.
