BUSINESS EXPO

Local businesses showcase products and services.

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com MORRISONVILLE — She gets the paperwork first and reads through it as a voice in her head whispers, “I can help this person.”

Then they visit the site and meet the horses. Marie Postiglione-Dupell knows that 12 months later the individual she is helping will not be the same.

“All of us together are going to make a difference,” she nearly whispered, like the voice in her head initially inspiring her to move forward.

Annual event to raise money, awareness of scleroderma

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — When doctors diagnosed Wendy Faubert with Scleroderma in 2005 she rushed online, where the Internet told her she had five years to live.

“I couldn’t read it after that.”

Today, she continues to fight and recently helped out at the 4th Annual Randy Duprey Memorial Scleroderma Walk/Run in Beekmantown.

The event raises money for the Scleroderma Foundation and also helps cover medical costs for others diagnosed with the disease.

“This helps out, because the medical bills are excessive,” Faubert said.

Scleroderma is a chronic connective tissue disease generally classified as one of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases.

Symptoms vary from individual to CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Business Expo inspires networking and showcases products stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — People squeezed through the crowd, stopping to heft vacuums and take pictures with fake dreadlocks.

They sipped lemonade and coffee and ate Girl Scout cookies and chocolates.

They gathered information from the Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood and listened to music as they pedaled the calories away before spinning the game wheel and trying their luck at the bean-bag toss.

“This event is one of the most popular and important throughout the year,” said Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak at the North Country Chamber of Commerce 2012 Business Expo held at the Plattsburgh State Field House.

“This brings together the majority of local businesses, and I always feel the optimism when speaking to people,” Kasprzak said.

Sponsors of the 24th annual event included Buck Supply & Distribution, Curtis Lumber, Denton Publications and News Channel 5.

“The annual Business Expo is a

chance for companies to showcase products and services,” said Jody Parks, executive vice president of the Plattsburgh North Country Chamber of Commerce. “Businesses can show people what they can do for them. Sometimes people forget about the opportunities businesses offer.”

The event has grown each year, consistently filling up, with 186 booths this year.

The event also allows businesses to network with each other, and it provides them an opportunity to thank existing customers while meeting new ones.

“This is a good representation of all the businesses in the community,” Parks said. “A lot of people don’t realize how much is going on in the community. This event is a great chance to see what is going on, and it is a ton of fun because of the door prizes and games.”

Jason Bell agreed and loves the event.

He attends every year to learn what is in the area for businesses and to possibly walk away with some cool prizes.

“I love seeing all the people,” Bell said.

Representatives from the Girl

Scouts of Northeastern New York said the Business Expo is vital in helping them spread their message and raise awareness about their organization.

The Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York serves roughly 1,100 girls in the three-county region Cyndi Tucker covers.

“I work with 400 volunteers delivering the message from the council,” said Tucker, Regional Manager for the Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York. “A lot of people think the Girl Scouts are gone, and this raises awareness of Girl Scouts in the community.”

The Girl Scouts is always looking for more volunteers, Tucker said. The organization provides many opportunities girls otherwise would not have access to, she pointed out.

“Whatever a girl wants to do,” Tucker said, “she can do it in the Girl Scouts.”

Sarah Hardy, a strategic partner for the Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York, said she is all about youth and feels the organization offers girls a “real-life” program.

Girls need guidance, Hardy said, and the Girl Scouts provides programs that help them build confi-

katherine@denpubs.com CHAZY — In the wake of tragedy, friends of a teen find an opportunity to bring awareness to gun control and safety by forming a group called “Never forgotten, in memory of Gary Cota.”

“We want to do something to keep his name out there and keep other people’s families from going through what Gary’s family is going through,” Miranda LaBelle said.

Gary Cota, a 13 year old from Fort Edwards, passed away on June 5 at his home, after police believe a firearm accidentally discharged while he and a friend were alone in his room.

Cota grew up in Chazy and had many friends and family in the area. His untimely death left his former hometown saddened and searching for an opportunity to help keep this from happening to others in the future.

“This is an extremely painful and heartbreaking time in the North Country, and as unfortunate and painful as it seems, something like this only brings out the questions of circumstance and wondering why,” Thomas Krause wrote in an e-mail.

The small group of Cota’s friends and community members are working together to raise money for gun safety courses in the area.

The “small group with big hopes” will construct and sell survival bracelets in Cota’s honor made with the colors of his favorite sports team, the New York Yankees.

“Our goal is to get money to local programs to get kids aware that this isn’t a video game, this is life and death,” Krause wrote.

Goup members LaBelle, Seth Mattot, Mikey Bruley, Thomas Krause, Susan LaBelle, and Nadine LaBelle-Mattot, have been working together to make the bracelets in an assembly line fashion, weaving the blue and gray paracord bracelets just right.

Once completed, the bracelets unravel to be about 6 feet of useful cord which could be helpful in hiking and camping adventures, where strong cord is sometimes needed.

The bracelets will be sold for a $5 donation and will go to help raise money for Gun Control and safety classes in Clinton County.

“We want this to all go to a good cause, and the message is strong,” LaBelle said.

TRAGIC ACCIDENT On June 5, police received a call saying a child who lived inside the home at 8 Keating Avenue had been fatally shot in the head. Emergency response pronounced Cota deceased on scene.

Police are still investigating the nature of the scene at the time of the shooting and are in the process of determining

who was in control of the weapon when it was discharged.

Fort Edwards Police Sergeant Justin Derway said there seemed to be a curiosity factor between the two kids with the weapon.

“The investigation is still open and we have yet to determine who was handling the gun at the time the gun was triggered,” Derway said.

Derway said the incident could have been prevented, and anyone who has access to a weapon should be educated in gun safety.

“Safeguarding all weapons is very important,” Derway said. “People handling a gun should follow the ‘laser rule,’ which means anything you point a gun at has the potential of being shot.”

Derway suggests anyone with a gun should keep the weapon locked with a snake lock that renders the weapon unusable and have it locked away.

Cota was honored in a special ceremony at the Chazy Rural School by more than 150 students and community members on June 9, and the entire eighth grade class traveled to Fort Edwards on June 11 for his service in Fort Edwards.

Derway said the tone in Fort Edwards has been extremely somber since Cota’s death.

“It’s very sad,” Derway said. “The members of the community are trying to pull together to support the families of both boys.”

For more information about the group, to order a survival bracelet or make a donation to the “Never forgotten, in memory of Gary Cota” group, visit their Facebook page and send them a message.

Seasonal worker not guilty in stabbing

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com CHAZY — Linley Baker stabbed Knox Cole several times early last year, leaving him clinging to life.

At the time, law enforcement said Baker made admissions.

But his attorney contended Baker acted in self defense, and this month he was found not guilty of assault and weapons charges.

The two men worked at Giroux’s Poultry in Chazy.

Baker testified that he was the victim of verbal assaults before the stabbing.

According to Baker, in early March 2011, Cole threatened him with a knife.

A week later, an altercation began between the two seasonal workers from Jamaica at a Reynolds Road Apartment in Chazy at about 6 a.m.

The initial story released had Baker, 49, grabbing Cole, 51, and stabbing him several times.

Baker said Cole came at him with the knife and that he stabbed Cole in the stomach while defending himself.

Cole, clinging to life and in need of immediate surgery, fled to a neighboring apartment. An acquaintance transported him to CVPH Medical Center, and hospital staff contacted New York State Police.

Cole identified Baker as his attacker.

New York State Police went to the apartment and arrested Baker without

incident.

Medical personnel stabilized Cole and Baker remained in police custody, charged with first-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

Police found two knives at the apartment and Baker revealed some details of the altercation.

Baker had no prior arrests.

Assistant District Attorneys Nick Evanovich and Katherine Kopita presented the case before Judge Patrick McGill in Clinton County Court.

Dean Schneller, an attorney in Plattsburgh, represented Baker.

The jury deliberated for less than two hours before finding Baker not guilty.

Opinion

A COMMUNITY SERVICE: This community newspaper and its delivery are made possible by the advertisers you’ll find on the pages inside. Our sixty plus employees and this publishing company would not exist without their generous support of our efforts to gather and distribute your community news and events. Please thank them by supporting them and buying locally. And finally, thanks to you, our loyal readers, for your support and encouragement over the past 65 years from all of us here at the North Countryman and Denton Publications.

Commencement advice from our staff From our Managing Editor, John Gereau: “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

— Thomas Edison My father used to tell me that if you want to get ahead in this world than work harder than the person sitting next to you. Get to work before him, leave after him, and before long you’ll have his job.

The opportunity to get ahead through hard work may be even greater today, because the competition is fierce, but the will to work for many is no longer so.

Of equal importance is to take pride in everything you do, wether it is digging ditches or building bridges. You should be able to look back at the end of the day and be proud to have your name associated with the work you just performed.

And, last but not least, for every hour you spend inside, spend two outside. The outdoors will bring you solace, and ground you when all else seems off course.

From our Assistant Managing Editor, Andy Flynn: After 25 years of being in the ‘real world’ after high school graduation, I can safely say that life’s been an adventure.

Growing up in Tupper Lake, I wanted nothing more than to leave my hometown. By my senior year in college, I wanted nothing more than to live in the Adirondacks. I was able to return home and earn a good living in the media industry.

I’m finally living the dream, but it’s not been an easy road.

To the Class of 2012, I say if you want to come back to the region after college or military service, you can. Brain drain is real, but it’s overrated. We need you. Consider coming home. And get a dog. Dogs are nice.

From our Times of Ti Editor Fred Herbst: Can I trust you? It seems like a simple question, but it may be the key to your future.

Trust, missing all too often today, is crucial to building relationships and achieving success.

Whether it’s a family member, boss, co-worker or community member, they all need to know that they can count on you to meet your obligations; that you’ll do the right thing.

Always endeavor to build trust. When you build trust you build strong families, good work ethic and strong communities.

From Reporter Shaun Kittle: “It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings Congratulations to all on your graduation, and may it be one of many small victories in your lives.

As you move forward, don’t be afraid to explore the world before jumping into a career—there is a lot to see, and you never know what might be awaiting you around the next bend in the path.

Take the time to discover your passions, and happiness will surely follow.

Best of luck on all your endeavors.

From Burgh and North Countryman Editor Stephen Bartlett: Don’t underestimate the value of some sort of post-secondary education, whether technical or collegiate, because the job market is merciful to no one and it’s easy to become bogged down by barely getting by.

Also, don’t put your eggs in one basket. Don’t give up on your ultimate dream, but allow for a dose of realism and ensure you obtain the skills to secure, possibly, your second choice, and pay the bills while continuing to pursue your passions.

From reporter Katherine Clark: Everyone, graduating high school seniors, parents and community members should attend graduation ceremonies and listen to inspirational speeches about the future.

Seniors, as you listen to the keynote speaker tell yourself there is an open sky of possibilities to choose from. Everyone in the crowd, young or old, has the same potential to redefine the course of their lives.

You can change your mind a handful of times and still live a successful life as long as you are passionate and work hard on whatever you do.

Chef, television personality and writer Rachael Ray said it best: “Work harder than the next person, don’t complain about it, and you'll always get noticed, no matter what job you’re doing, and you'll find an opportunity occur that you didn't see coming.”

Develop your own sense of direction

O

ver the last year our politicians, major news outlets, union leaders and powerful lobbyists have been waging war in Wisconsin. The failed recall of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has been hailed by the Republican Party as a major victory heading into the fall election season. The Democratic Party, backed by major labor, now seeks to double their efforts to reengage the electorate, learning from this perceived failed effort.

Why do we continually allow issues of importance to be taken over and owned by those who seek to protect their own self interests while framing these issues in a manner designed to create division among us? We must recognize we have only one country and that country must have a sense of direction that is fair and compassionate to all. No one appreciates a gloating victor, but that is exactly what the political parties have undertaken to pit us against each other—and keep us there.

Americans have always been at their best when they stand united, arm in arm. When we allow the powerful, or the politically connected, to divide us and shift our loyalty to party or self interest instead of country is when we work against our own best interests. Wisconsinites registered their votes last week and they alone should be the victors or losers in that contest.

Feeding the political divide instead of using our democratic common sense has allowed our nation to become paralyzed in recent years, and it won’t get any better until we demand that enough is enough.

Public-sector workers reportedly continue to enjoy better benefits than their private sector counterparts. About 64 percent of private-sector workers have access to pensions, compared with 90 percent of state and local government workers. Private-sector workers earn an average of $8.53 in benefits per hour, while government workers earn $14.31 in benefits per hour.

Our economy can’t continue to support growing government payroll costs. Some form of balance must be maintained.

Over the course of time, public sector employees needed the power of collective bargaining, especially when the pay scales and benefits didn’t fairly match with those in the private sector. But the pendulum has swung too far the other way and the current economic climate has shown that the nation can’t support generous benefits, salaries and overt job protection for public employees when the private sector is go-

ing in the other direction..

On the other side of the divide, according to the Independent Center for Public Integrity, Governor Walker raised seven Dan Alexander times more than Thoughts from Mayor Barrett, Behind the Pressline his challenger, to defend his recall, and, despite the difference in spending, the dollars didn’t directly translate into percentage points in polls or the vote. Wisconsin voters were not swayed by the big corporate connections, but instead recognized that the best choice was to keep Walker in place and continue to tackle the state budget woes by tempering the growth of public sector costs.

Now, the spin masters from both sides will continue to put the best face on the result from their perspective, but at the end of the day voters must put self interest aside and see through the spin to make good choices and insure realistic choices that continue to make government accountable while bringing spending under control. We all need to tune out the posturing and not allow others to frame these issues, nor take ownership of them for anything other than the advancement of our nation.

It seems clear to me that far too many of our leaders place their own self interests and political aspirations ahead of the Democracy. We get sucked into blindly following the powerful and until we demand accountability and see through the veil of divisive politics our nation will continue to be held hostage. We need to respect the differences that will naturally occur between people of good intentions but look to elect leaders who seek to resolve those differences instead of using them to create and feed anger and hatred among us. Until we find our own clear voice, I fear America will be driven to the outer edges of the political divide, where nothing but stonewalling is accomplished, while the nation suffers from its lack of resolve and identity, zigzagging between the political extremes.

The successes and mistakes of fatherhood M

y daughter, Darby, was born Dec. 12, 1994.

My son, Samuel, was born Oct. 22, 2006.

I’m 38, Father ’s Day is nearly here, and I’ve been reflecting on my kids, wondering who stole my time, why I did this or didn’t do that, and how my actions have impacted them.

Darby was a little one when I found myself as a single father living in a trailer park in Kansas after I was honorably discharged from the Army. I remember walking the trailer park each night, hand in hand, laughing and willing bed time to arrive late.

I remember she somehow squeaked out wins during best of seven wrestling matches, waiting at the bottom of the slide, learning to braid and sing simultaneously, and watching her spit out the green beans I hid in ravioli, leaving me afraid my daughter would grow up with a vitamin deficiency.

I also recall searching for change under floor mats to buy diapers, drinking too much at a barbecue

when I was the only one responsible for her, and a doctor who thought I caused the bruise under her eye because the cigarette smoke he smelled on her and my Medicaid card told him all he needed to know about us. Yet, when I reflect on that now I wonder, “What kind of a father smoked near enough to his daughter that she smelled like cigarettes?”

As Darby has aged, wrestling matches have been replaced by hiking, economic debates, frustrated eye rolls and my annoying pep talks. I’ve loved her with everything in me, though my actions at times have hurt her, a regret that never rectifies itself. And there isn’t a second that passes that I don’t wish I could reach into her belly, pull out her Crohn’s disease and keep it as my own.

But I gotta thank the internet, because Darby received guidance from somewhere as she is brilliant, empathetic, kind, quick-witted, creative, talented and mature. She often bests me in debates that usually end with me threatening through clenched teeth, “Keep it up and I’ll ground you ‘til you

Stephen Bartlett

From the Editor’s Desk graduate.”

Samuel entered the world a question mark. The love was strong, but that little heart scared everyone, and Boston specialists said he had 1p36 deletion syndrome.

It’s a congenital genetic disorder characterized by moderate to severe intellectual disability, delayed growth, hypotonia, seizures, limited speech ability, malformations, and hearing and vision impairments.

He was less than 4 pounds at birth, and after an extensive hospital stay went home with several medications and a feeding tube that ran from his nose to his belly.

He often slept on my belly and chest, just like his big sister did when she was a little one, and we watched African cichlids swim around the fish tank. As he grew stronger, every noise, squeeze and one-on-one engagement was celebrated.

Sammie had open-heart surgery at 10 months. Shortly after that, my inability to live up to my marriage vows resulted in my son only living half the time with myself and Darby, the latter seeing another family she belonged to destroyed, though this time it was my fault.

But as time passed, I recall Samuel’s increased strength when sitting up, standing when leaning on the couch, giggles over anything that spins, lights up and plays music, and more nights on my chest and belly. Suddenly, there was preschool and graduations from bottles to cups, a word or two that indicated a want or dislike,

kindergarten, scooting on his butt and then crawling, and sitting in the seat behind me for summertime bike rides. I adore him.

As I ponder fatherhood, I know I’m fortunate to have two beautiful and brilliant children. I also know fatherhood is difficult, but so is marriage, playing the guitar, writing, basketball and anything else you want to master. It takes devotion, the will to excell and the awareness that your are shaping lives.

I wish I could say I’ve been a perfect dad.

What I can say is as long as I keep in mind how I affect them, live the moments we share, and provide them with the best I have to offer with the tools in my belt, while pledging to acquire the tools I don’t possess, I believe more often than not I’ll succeed.

As far as loving them, well, that’s easy and increases every second of every minute of every hour of every day, forever…

Our life coaches, Style and Substance, on bullying Dear Style & Substance: I know all about bullying with kids from watching the news, reading articles and even taking my teenage children to see the bullying movie. I am starting to think that I am being bullied at work by a superior co-worker. I am not sure what to do. Any advice?

Bullying is often thought of as an issue affecting young people, but adults can bully, and be bullied, as well. Anytime there is a situation where one person has some level of control over another there can be two basic outcomes in the relationship: an abuse of power and disrespect or hopefully, mutual respect based on common goals.

First, recognize types of bullying and your thoughts, feelings and experiences about your professional relationship. People who are bullied often find fault with themselves and begin to believe that the bully’s behavior is valid. The victim of bullying does not ask for or invite harm or disrespect.

Bullying in the workplace can take many forms, both subtle and blatant: • Belittling by a supervisor or co-worker; disparaging comments or minimizing your contributions.

• Publicly correcting or pointing out errors and mistakes that would be better addressed privately, or constant criticism, either formal or informal.

• Using sarcasm to communicate or humor to belittle or embarrass.

• Intimidation and threats - words or actions.

• Issuing demands as opposed to polite and respectful requests.

Some workplace environments can be very stressful; however, angry attacks, yelling, or screaming are never appropriate. Severe behaviors are best addressed by a third party such as a Human Resources staff person or union representative.

There are important steps you can take to strengthen yourself against bullying behavior: • First evaluate and validate the situation. Don’t gossip or create drama by discussing it broadly with coworkers.

Confide in a close, objective friend who can offer an unbiased observation of the situation.

• After reflection, clarify the outcome you want to achieve. Bullying will not go away until the situation is addressed in a discreet, direct and confident manner.

• Be precise in stating your point of view; do not focus on feelings, rather the facts of how a situation was handled and how you would hope and expect to be treated in the future.

For example, if your supervisor criticizes you publically, wait for a time you two can speak privately, state your understanding of the need for correction, but request that you want it to be done privately and constructively. Re-

Our Furry

Michele Armani and Sally Meisenheimer view an employee handbook and state the guidelines for the situation as outlined.

• At all times try to adjust your body language to be respectful, but not timid; stand up straight and look directly at this person.

Telecom scam comes to the North Country

By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Don’t believe everything that shows up in the mail.

When Dan Alexander, CEO of Denton Publications in Elizabethtown, received correspondence from an alleged telecommunications company called UST, he knew something was wrong.

The letter looked like an invoice, complete with a $425 charge, and a request to “remit payment to the above address,” a location in LaVerne, CA. “We get invoices in here constantly, so we have a pretty good system of checking everything,” Alexander said. “Whenever we order something, it has to be approved.”

But the letter wasn’t a bill at all — it was an agreement.

“As I understand, it is actually a contract to approve a service they claim to provide,” Alexander said.

After doing some research, Alexander quickly learned that

Medicine Horse Farm from page 1 Postiglione-Dupell owns Medicine Horse Farm, which is simultaneously located in Morrisonville and Beekmantown, depending on what one uses to pinpoint the address. Medicine Horse is a nonprofit organization and PATH International Center dedicated to serving those with physical, medical and emotional disabilities. It promotes physical wellness and emotional healing in partnership with horses.

PATH International was founded in 1969 to promote safe and effective therapeutic riding for the handicapped throughout the United States and Canada. It has nearly 800 member centers and more than 6,300 individual members worldwide who help more than 42,000 men, women and children with special needs yearly through a variety of equine-assisted activity and therapy programs.

Postiglione-Dupell was working as a pharmaceutical rep in Vermont when she learned about a PATH International site there. She grew up with horses but did not know what therapeutic riding was.

She showed up to the barn in a pricey suit and heels, and despite the strange looks she received, signed on as a volunteer.

Denton Publications is not the first company to recieve a letter from UST, who also goes by the names US Telecom and UST Development, Inc. Regardless of the name on the letterhead, the company’s activities are well-documented by the Better Business Bureau, who gave them the lowest possible rating of ‘F.’ The rating is determined by an assessment that contains 16 factors, including how long the business has been active, the volume of complaints they have received, whether or not complaints have been resolved by the business and whether or not government action has been taken against them.

To be approved by the Bureau, a business must receive a rating of ‘B’ or higher, with ‘A+’ being the highest rating.

“We have a long history with this business,” said Peggy Penders, public relations director with the Better Business Bureau of Upstate New York. “Right now, the government has action against them.”

Penders warned that phony invoices are just one method used to lure individuals and businesses into parting with their cash.

Posing as collection agencies, service providers and offering rewards are just some of the devices commonly used in scams.

“Scammers are smart,” Penders said. “They often seem like any other legitimate business, but they’re doing illegitimate things.”

Penders said scams are a prevalent part of North Country life, and added that the Bureau considers Plattsburgh to be the scam capital of the United States.

“When we look at Plattsburgh, the proportion of reports we manage is disproportionate to the population size,” Penders said. “A lot of these scams come from Canada, but the businesses appear to be located in the US.” A key to recognizing scams is to investigate any correspondence that seems unlikely.

Don’t cash prize checks for contests you never entered, and don’t write checks or give away person-

“I just got hooked,” she said.

“You start seeing all the ‘aha’ moments and differences it makes in the people’s lives and the families.”

She quickly grew bored with volunteering and learned she could become an instructor.

She left the pharmaceutical industry for training in Connecticut, but after she completed it she returned to working in Vermont when the pharmaceutical industry tossed more money at her.

“But I still wanted to open a small therapy program,” Postiglione-Dupell said.

She purchased her first therapy horse and eventually left her job for good, opening Medicine Horse Farm five years ago. Three years after that she became a nonprofit.

Postiglione-Dupell, a PATH International certified instructor, leads the sessions at Medicine Horse with the help of volunteers.

She believes experiencing and riding horses improves the lives of individuals with disabilities who benefit from therapeutic riding, equine assisted activities, horticultural therapy and nature-based therapy at Medicine Horse Farm.

For example, the horse stimulates the rider ’s pelvis and trunk in a manner that closely resembles the normal gait of a human. This can produce physical changes in the rider, including normalization

of muscle tone and improvements in posture, balance, coordination and increased endurance.

Aiden Mars, 8, is diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, a neuro-genetic disorder characterized by intellectual and developmental disability, sleep disturbance, seizures, jerky movements and frequent laughter or smiling. His family wondered if he would walk, a milestone he achieved while a participant at Medicine Horse Farm.

“It is unreal,” said Kirsten UjidaBlair, Aiden’s community integration worker. “He is sleeping now.”

Therapeutic horseback riding also helps the communication, social and motor skills of people with autism.

“Medicine Horse has helped my son with his confidence and selfesteem, and it has helped him with school and socializing and talking with peers and adults,” said Peggy LaPierre of Dannemora.

Her son Jacob is 11 and now better understands the differences in people and is much more verbal.

Postiglione-Dupell sees 24 people who range in age from 3 to adults, and would like to help more people. But issues such as weather cause scheduling conflicts, which means people miss therapy.

She is searching for grant money and any other financial support to construct an indoor arena.

Field Days promotes teamwork and is fun

By Stephen Bartlett

Fri., June 15 - Thurs., June 21, 2012

PLATTSBURGH — They eyed the rainbow tunnel with determination.

At the end, a cart on wheels, barely big enough to sit on, grabbed their attention as the children calculated the speed needed for a respectable finish.

Above them, the sun beat down upon their heads from a blue sky spotted with thick white clouds, a slight breeze caressing their cheeks and causing their hair to dance on their heads.

“This is what it’s all about,” Seton Academy fifth-grader Alex Kneifel said with a grin, the cheers of his peers surrounding him.

Faculty, staff, students, parents and volunteers gathered for Seton Academy’s annual Field Days.

The Plattsburgh Catholic School serves grades Pre-K-6.

“This is about teamwork, having fun and being physically active,” said Seton Academy Physical Education Teacher Meghan Lawliss.

For the event, students were broken up into 10 teams participating in 10 activities, including tennis, musical chairs, soccer, science activities, balloon toss and obstacle courses.

Preschool students participated in their own set of games.

“I love it here,” said Colleen Lemza, who has three children attending Seton Academy.

The small parochial school provides her children with a strong foundation in academics, respect and morality.

Her children love Field Days, and she enjoys helping out.

“I do this every year,” Lemza said.

Kirsten Recore has two children at Seton Academy.

She remembers Field Days from when she attended Catholic school, except then it was called mini-Olympics.

“I went to St. Alexander ’s in Morrisonville, but it is no longer there.”

As a college student, Recore felt ahead of many

of her peers and contributed that to her experience attending a Catholic school.

“I had such a strong foundation.”

Kneifel admitted he learns “a lot of good things” at Seton Academy, though on Field Days

his attention was on the red balloon filled with water coming his way.

“I like the balloon toss,” he shouted. “It’s fun when the water splashes all over you.”

PLATTSBURGH — Earlier this year, a coalition set out to complete its annual task of securing federal tax refunds for North Country residents.

The group especially wanted to assist low to moderate income people.

As always, the work has paid off in nearly $6 million in tax refunds for the North Country.

“It’s good for them and it’s good for our economy,” said John Bernardi, executive director of the United Way of the Adirondack Region and chairman of the Adirondack Region

Earned Income Tax Credit Coalition.

The Adirondack Region Earned Income Tax Credit Coalition was formed to offer free sites for individuals to get their taxes done.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Sites were set up in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties to serve those seeking the free income tax filing service.

“The Adirondack Region Earned Income Tax Credit Coalition recently completed a very successful income tax assistance program that proved extremely beneficial for many low to moderate income people throughout Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties,” Bernardi said.

Scleroderma from page 1 individual and the effects of the disease range from mild to life threatening, impacting the skin and internal organs. Death occurs most often from pulmonary, heart and kidney complications.

The cause of the disease, which affects an estimated 300,000 people, is unknown.

Kate Duprey’s husband, Randy, was 22 when he was diagnosed.

The community helped the family keep its head above water, and Randy consistently told his wife his mission was to pay it forward.

In October of 2008, Randy went into heart failure. He

died in January 2009.

“In March of 2009, I thought we needed to do something,” said Kate.

That thought gave birth to the first Walk/Run to raise money for the Scleroderma Foundation, a nonprofit supporter of research in the United States that has allotted nearly $14.2 million in research funds since 1989.

The event in Beekmantown also raises money to help cover medical costs for those diagnosed with the disease.

This year, the event raised $3,900 for local efforts and $7,500 for the Foundation.

Anyone with Scleroderma should contact Kate at beball34@charter.net or 5697927.

Kate is also motivated by she and Randy’s son, Alek,

who is four now and has a 1 in 100 chance of being stricken by Scleroderma.

“I just need to keep working for him and people in the community with the disease.”

Faubert knew something was wrong in 2005 when she noticed she was always tired and wasn’t herself.

Today, she can’t work anymore, tires easily, is dizzy and light headed and sometimes has problems with her memory.

“I used to be so active.”

She was scared, but has come to realize she cannot deny or walk away from the disease.

“I am going to fight.”

As participants lined up at the starting line for the Walk/Run, Faubert cut the

ribbon to start the annual event.

A large crowd of people walked quickly through the grass, and as the last individual faded from view, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Freebird broke the silence they left behind them.

If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me?

For I must be traveling on, now, ‘Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see.

But, if I stayed here with you, girl, Things just couldn’t be the same.

‘Cause I’m as free as a bird now, And this bird you can not change.

Children hit the playground during the 4th Annual Randy Duprey Memorial Walk/Run for Scleroderma.

City school putting another budget before voters

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Roughly 9,000 people have the right to vote on the Plattsburgh City School budget.

Yet not even a quarter of those individuals turned out for the May 15 election.

Those who did turn out overwhelmingly defeated the school district’s first budget proposal. So school officials, no stranger to budget cuts, slashed more from its budget and has altered the district’s public-education system in preparation of the June 19 vote.

“If this budget fails, we immediately have to adopt a contingency

budget and reduce another $550,000,” said Superintendent James “Jake” Short.

The 2012-13 budget proposal that taxpayers will vote on June 19 totals $37,812,744, representing a 1.53 percent decrease from the current spending plan.

It carries a tax-levy increase of 2.84 percent. The tax-levy increase cap is 3.01 percent.

“The tax levy is the significant change within this,” Short said.

The first budget proposal totaled $38.3 million and carried a tax-levy increase of roughly 5.8 percent, which surpassed the cap of 3.01 percent.

That spending plan also included $1 million in cuts due to soaring costs and inadequate state aid.

Over the past few years, prior to

the current budget, the district has made about $6 million in cuts.

Still, district voters defeated this spending plan on May 15 by a vote of 1,365 to 729.

“The budget was very clearly defeated,” Short said. “It was the largest margin of any budget defeat.”

School officials re-examined the spending plan and made more than $500,000 more in cuts.

The current sending proposal totals $37,812,744, which represents a 1.53 decrease from the district’s 2011-12 budget. It carries a tax-levy increase of 2.84 percent, which falls below the cap.

Budget cuts have included assistant coaches, gymnastics and other athletics, course offerings, programs for at-risk students, enrich-

ment programs, several positions, summer work, substitute teacher pay rates, technology, guidance, equipment, field trips, music, Odyssey and maintenance and custodial work.

If the budget is again defeated, school officials must adopt a contingency spending plan, which would carry no increase on the tax levy, despite increasing costs and inadequate state and federal aid.

Nearly $600,000 more in cuts would have to be made and would include, but not be limited to, athletics, music, arts, pre-k, kindergarten, further positions and child advocates.

“The district paying for field trips has been eliminated and Odyssey enrichment is no longer sustainable with the budget we

have,” Short said. “We have done a 10 percent reduction on substitute teacher pay rates and we have to keep a very close eye on class sizes, because they will be pushing the margins.”

“If we have another budget defeat we have to go back and examine if Pre-K is sustainable, and we may have to cut down to half-day Kindergarten,” Short continued.

“If the budget passes, we must live within the lines, and any emerging needs must be met with a reduction. These emerging needs in the district occur monthly, so there will be the possibility of mid-year cuts.”

Voters can cast their vote from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Bailey, Duken and Momot school buildings.

Plattsburgh Library gets interim leader

By Stephen Bartlett

GUARANTEED LOWEST INSTALLED PRICE OR YOUR At Time Of Sale TIRE IS

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Russell Puschak is interim library director at the Plattsburgh Public Library.

But the search for a permanent director continues.

The library’s next leader will have much to tackle with a library that has been low on funds, accused of weak management and is staffed by employees who had to make considerable concessions to save it this year.

The Plattsburgh Public Library Board of Trustees appointed Puschak, who is currently a librarian for Stafford Middle School and was the founding director of the Town of Johnsburg Library in North Creek.

Stan Ransom, 82, retired as director of Plattsburgh Public Library on May 31.

turn to the library for information and resources while the economy struggles.

Plattsburgh Public Library faced an especially troubling situation earlier this year.

The library’s projected budget shortfall was $167,340, minus $17,000 in fund balance.

Community members attended several meetings, voicing their support for the library and frustration with possible cuts.

The board initially voted to cut four positions at the time—two librarians, one clerk and one paige.

In the end, the Plattsburgh Common Council voted unanimously to provide the Plattsburgh Public Library with $60,000 in additional funding. The move was the final step that saved the positions and put the library on the road to financial stability.

But it didn’t come without sacrifice.

A four-year plan will reduce employee hours, increase contributions to health insurance and eliminate raises.

The clinic will be held in front of the Plattsburgh Imaging Center in the CVPH Plaza from

It’s nearly time for the topwater bonanza!

L

ake Champlain bass are in full spawn mode for the next several weeks. Bass will then enter their post spawn phase. During this period they will rest from the rigors of spawning and recover some depleted strength.

Shortly thereafter the fun will really begin. The feed will then swing into high gear and bass will begin to

By Howard Hammonds aggressively feed on schools of baitfish.

During the several weeks following the post-spawn phase, fisherman can experience the excitement of a topwater bonanza. There is no more exciting action than to have a hungry bass explode on your topwater bait. It’s like watching a scary movie and waiting for the villain to jump out from behind the next corner. With great anticipation you’ll work your bait over a weed patch knowing that any second a giant smallmouth is going to blast your lure. Kiwhoosh — the water explodes and you about jump out of your skin, jerking like crazy.

There are several topwater techniques a fisherman can use on the North Country’s lakes. Some are easy to master, others require greater skill. My favorite tactic is using a Zara spook to walk the dog. This technique requires a modest degree of coordination. Make a long cast, wind up the slack, and make a rhythmic half turn of the reel and a quick snap of the wrist. Keep the action going with a steady cadence. Keep your rod tip at just about shoe top level. If you are doing this correctly, you will notice the lure “walks” from side to side with each snap of the wrist.

This action will drive bass crazy and the return is a heartstopping explosion. The tackle needed is a 6-foot medium

The Old Footbridge

While visiting Elizbethtown, I took an opportunity to visit many of my old haunts and fishing holes, to see how they had weathered the storm.

Although I had already paddled the Boquet a couple of times, it was my first opportunity to access the status of The Branch, a much smaller stream that flows through the very center of the community.

I began my up-stream journey at a junction pool in the center of the village, where Bartons Brook joins with The Branch.

I waded the stream all the way to the footbridge, which in my younger years featured an old dam that was a popular swimming hole. Although the pond was quite small, many local youth learned to swim at the footbridge since it was easy an place to walk or ride a bike.

While devastation from the flood was evident all along the river corridor, I was thrilled to discover some of the recent renovations that have occurred at Footbridge Park.

The effort has resulted in an incredible new leisure area, complete with a unique, natural playground that meanders through the local woods.

The new, all natural playground features a fully accessible stone dust path that meanders through the surrounding woods and leads to a variety of stations for youngsters to explore. It is a model for the wise use of the woods, and it provides a safe, engaging and entertaining complex that is makes a visit to the woods nothing but fun!

The trail was developed through a partnership between the Essex County Health Department and the NYS Department of Health, and although it was intended for a target audience of 2-5 year olds, the ‘stations’ offer something for wanderers of all ages.

The Footbridge Nature Trail features a wonderful climbing wall, tree forts and tree houses, a rope maze, stumpjumps and a variety of natural musical instruments including chimes, drums and a unique, Tune-Dome that was constructed from an old propane tank.

Fortunately, for parents there are also plenty of benches, picnic tables and sitting stumps along the river corridor.

Although the new trail complex has not yet attracted a lot of visitors, I expect it will become a very popular venue once it is discovered.

ast weekend, I returned to Elizabethtown to attend the opening of the new, Raging Rivers exhibition at the Adirondack History Center Museum. Raging Rivers: A Mind of Their Own is a theme that will continue throughout the summer with a series of History Center lectures that explore the effects and after affects of two centuries of Adirondack floods.

The new exhibit includes images taken by numerous professional photographers, as well as other local residents. It provides a visual summary of the immediate destruction, as well as the after affects, of Hurricane Irene.

The exhibition of still photographs are complimented by a video produced by photographer Nathan Farb. In addition to the photo exhibit, museum staffers also utilized a variety of items that were taken from the river after the flood to create several intriguing displays of ‘Debris Sculptures.’

The sculptures provided graphic, hands-on evidence of the damage caused by the storm, and for many visitors, the experience proved to be both an emotional, as well as a cathartic, opportunity.

I spoke with numerous visitors about where they were, and what they were doing when the high water hit, and it was difficult not to be moved by their recollections. It was a natural tragedy that was shared by many, and it will be remembered by all.

I would encourage anyone who hasn’t recently visited the old museum on the ‘Town Hill,’ to stop by. The Adirondack History Center features ‘our history’ and it won’t disappoint.

Saturday’s event also included a car show that attracted numerous antique and classic motor vehicles, including several ‘horseless carriages.’

While strolling among the cars, I was immediately put at ease by the friendly atmosphere and the lively banter that surrounded the show’s participants. The collection of antique and classic vehicles was nearly as impressive as the host of characters who own and restore them. And as many jokingly explained, there were probably more antique owners on site than there were antique cars.

Car shows and rallys have become an increasingly popu-

action bait caster, 12-pound test mono line and a Heddon Zara spook lure.

Probably the easiest topwater to master is the “PopR,” which is another lure produced by the famous Heddon Company. The Pop-R has a cupped face that spits water and pops when retrieved. Using a 7-foot spinning rod and reel and 8-pound mono line, make a cast as long as possible. Wind up the slack and make a little jerk, just enough to cause the lure to spit a little water. Repeat the action but pause the lure between jerks. Vary the jerks and pauses as this imitates a dying bait fish.

For those of you that by now have decided these are a little complex, I have a technique that will have sure-fire success, is simple to master and will still provide heart stopping explosions—buzz baits. Using the same rod and reel as for the PopR, tie one on and make a long cast.

When the buzz bait hits the water start winding, just fast enough so the lure runs on top of the water. The turning action of the winged blades will keep it on top of the water and will make a gurgling sound that will make bass go nuts.

Lake Champlain is very unique when it comes to topwater. Most topwater baits are used when there is overcast skies and a little ripple on the water. While this is a prime time to use topwater tactics, an even better time on Lake Champlain is following a front when the skies are high and blue, no wind and a slick surface. When the major tournament pros first started invading the North Country they found to their surprise that topwater baits worked on Champlain during what otherwise would be tough conditions. I’m not a fish and therefore can’t tell you why these techniques work, but believe me—the first time you have a big-ole bass explode on your lure you’ll be hooked, just like the fish!

While I don’t personally believe it’s in the best interest of the species to interfere with the bedding cycle, if you do fish for bass during this time please handle with care and return to the water immediately. Practice CPR: Catch, Photograph and Release.
