Healthy Plates Project makes eating out easier

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ A triple whopper, large fries and a large soda, contains a whopping 2,100 calories, 104 grams of fat and 2,270 milligrams of sodium, according to an article from Fox News Magazine, something the Healthy Plates Project avoids.

The Healthy Plates Project is a free voluntary program that works with local eateries to identify and promote healthy menu changes, attempting to make the community a healthier place to live, work and play, something that theyÕ ve been doing for a year and a half.

“We actually started the program when we enrolled our first restaurant, GumaÕ s, the fall of 2012,Ó said Mandy Snay, R.D., C.D.N. and supervising public health nutritionist at the Clinton County Department of Health (CCHD).

Ever since GumaÕ s Family Restaurant in West Chazy fully enrolled in 2012, the enrollment rate fell short because of a change in criteria. Ò We obviously want the food to be healthy in these restaurants that are participating with us,Ó Snay said. Ò It needs to be safe, and it also needs to be traditionally sound, so we rethought what we were doing and added in that food safety component.Ó Participating eateries are required to identify entrees that meet the 6 Traits of a Healthy Plate.

The 6 Traits of a Healthy Plate consist of 35 percent total fat, zero trans fat, 10 percent saturated fat, 750 calories, lean protein and a serving of fruits or vegetables.

It is also strongly recommended that sodium levels not exceed 1,000 milligrams in submitted entrees, even though recipes will not be excluded if they do not meet this criterion.

By reducing fat intake below 35 percent, according to the CCHDÕ s website, it decreases risks of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Also, replacing saturated fatty acids with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids is associated with lower blood cholesterol levels and a lower

risk of cardiovascular disease. Trans fat is non-essential and should be avoided.

Participating restaurants who follow the 6 Traits of a Healthy Plate will be able to display the logo/symbol in their window showing that they are an official Healthy Plate Restaurant and will also be listed on the CCHD website. Ò We want to make sure people from the community know what that symbol means when they go to their favorite participating restaurant,Ó Snay said. Ò When they see that symbol, they know that is sort of guiding them to be the nutritionally balanced choices that are on the menu.Ó To become a Healthy Plates Restaurant, the eatery must submit three entrees that meet the 6 Traits of a Healthy Plate guidelines, identify one of their criteria that is in place or can be implemented, comply with the environmental health standards and complete and submit the application packet.

In terms of identifying one criteria from the Healthy Plates Project, one is asked to add any one of the following options mentioned on the website.

Some examples consist of offering vegan or vegetarian options, using serving plates that are nine to 10 inches in diameter, promoting a Ò well pack halfÓ policy, offer one percent or skim milk as a default dairy product and many more. Ò People are eating away from their home more than ever, and we used to eat out years ago only in the event of a celebration,Ó Snay said. Ò When people go out to celebrate, they may not be too concerned with the nutrition criteria of what theyÕ re eating, and thatÕ s OK. Ò But when youÕ re eating out because you have to, and you want to make sure your family gets a meal, you may actually be more interested in knowing the nutritional criteria of the food that is there.Ó The benefits of becoming a Healthy Plates Project Partner are an official CCHD/Healthy Plates Project Recognition Certificate for display in the facility, free promotional window deals and materials, free recipe development consultation and nutritional

analysis overseen by a registered dietitian and recognition and promotion as a participating partner on the CCHD webpage, program pamphlet and other various media outlets used by the CCHD. So far, GumaÕ s Family Restaurant is fully onboard, and Mainely Lobster and IrisesÕ applications have been approved and are going through the implementation process. Lakeside CoffeeÕ s application has been processed, and Olive RidleyÕ s and Big DaddyÕ s have expressed their interest of joining the program.

Contact Snay at snaym@co.clinton.ny.us or Karen Derusha, principal public educator, at derushak@co.clinton.ny.us for more information. Ò WeÕ re ready,Ó Snay said. Ò Our criteria for becoming a program partner has been written, and theyÕ re in black and white. Ò We are ready to work with local restaurants in getting them in our program.Ó

Opinion North Countryman Editorial

Save your community: Volunteer

A

lack of volunteers threatens the future of many annual summer events in the North Country.

For events happening from late May to early September, a lack of volunteers can turn a day of fun into a faded memory.

Here are some examples around the North Country.

First: The Labor Day Celebration in Au Sable Forks. Before, the event lasted for two days. On the first day, the grounds would be crowded with both guests and volunteers. An array of games and food booths were available along with a huge bingo game in the gym, a chicken barbecue, pie roulette, dunking booth and a bounce house. On the second day, the same events would happen, along with a parade in the morning.

Today, the gathering lasts for just a day, and after the closing of Holy Name School and St. Matthews Church, the town struggles to keep its tradition going. Now, the parade runs on the first day. All of the food and game booths remain, but many of the dedicated volunteers that ran them are no longer there. People who had been running the same booths for years have either died or have become too old to help. The few people who remain struggle to recruit new volunteers.

Second: Ò Champ DayÓ in Port Henry and Moriah. Before, it was a day to recognize the folklore surrounding the alleged Lake Champlain creature Champ, and pay tribute to the more than 300 documented sightings of the creature. Ò Champ DayÓ took place on the first Sunday of August. The event included sidewalk sales, street vendors, entertainment, childrenÕ s games and pony rides, among other things.

Today, “Champ Day” has been officially discontinued after 31 years. The event ended for multiple reasons, including the recession and the Champlain Bridge closure for two years. Because of this, the town decided to put Ò Champ DayÓ on hold until the economy righted itself. The economy has been recovering, but Ò Champ DayÓ has yet to be reinstated, mainly because of a lack of volunteers.

Third: The Rouses Point Fourth of July Celebration. Before, the event lasted for a week and was known to be one of the biggest parties in the country. The festive week, founded by George Ducharme 54 years ago, once included

a carnival and huge parade that contained 15 to 20 bands and brought in people from all around the country and Canada to see and participate in the fun it had to offer.

Today, the week-long event has been condensed to three days. The carnival no longer comes to town because itÕ s too expensive.

Many of the games and food booths remain, but the annual get-together struggles to stay alive because of a lack of volunteers. A committee works diligently to keep the celebration intact, but those offering their services to help have become fewer and fewer.

Fourth: Rulfs OrchardÕ s Strawberry Festival. Before, the Strawberry Festival was a one day celebration that celebrated strawberries becoming ripe for the picking. The festival includes strawberry picking, a strawberry shortcake eating competition, a strawberry rhubarb pie baking competition, a number of different vendors, games and fun strawberry themed food for both children and adults.

Today, the Strawberry Festival remains successful after three years. Most of the events are the same. ThereÕ s been a few changes in terms of vendors, but, besides that, the orchard keeps the tradition they started three years ago.

How is Rulfs able to continue and even grow its popular festival? The answer is quite simple Ñ they donÕ t rely on volunteers, they pay the individuals who help make the event happen.

There is nothing wrong with that, but these people are not volunteers. And, the simple fact of the matter is that many events around the North Country cannot afford to take on a paid staff.

What it really boils down to is a matter of civic pride and civic duty. These events are not only a source of summertime enjoyment, they also are economic engines that fill our main streets with people looking to spend money.

People that oftentimes fall in love with the area and return to spend money or purchase homes here.

So, there is a much bigger picture here when it comes to volunteerism. It is an integral part of the fabric of our communities. Without it, they may also become just a faded memory Ñ going the way of so many celebrations, festivities and events throughout the region. ÑD

Letters to the Editor

Common ground To the Editor: Finally, after all these years we have common ground, something we can agree on. Evelyn Hatch, Margaret Bartley, and I can unite for the betterment of Elizabethtown.

Evelyn accuses the past town board, of which I was a member, of Ò voodoo accounting practicesÓ for which the Comptroller spanked us. Part of that issue was following the advice of a prior Comptroller representative, who was later identified as “not being one of our best.Ó At the end of the day it was determined that all the money was there and accounted for, but the current Comptroller rep wanted the accounting done in a different way than the prior rep had required.

The Comptroller also chided the entire board for not providing adequate verification of accounts, but unless one were a CPA, that would be impossible.

I am not a CPA and few council people are, which is why similar Comptroller comments are made in every town they visit. If Evelyn is suggesting that she and Margaret were better suited to that than we were, I fear she exaggerates.

Anyway, back to our common ground.

Evelyn states, “Where is an honest to goodness fact finder when you really need one?Ó She answers her own question with, “the NYS Comptrollers Office.”

And I completely agree. Lets have Evelyn, Margaret, and me call the Comptrollers Office, as they did five years ago, and ask them to come and examine the books for 2012-13. This is splendid.

After all, if it took two years for Bartley, her clerk, a financial expert, and Evelyn to Ò straighten out the mess,Ó we should get a 100% rating from the Comptroller.

Right?

But, they may notice the reimbursements from the Town General Fund, into Margaret’s personal Benefit Fund. Or, the payments to a financial expert, and other individuals, that have W-2 & 1099 issues. Margaret has refused to provide the town with details of her private Benefit Fund, which became intertwined with town finances.

Harpe said. Ò We love Plattsburgh and have some friends there already.Ó Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers unique brand of blues features originals and classics that range from Memphis Minnie to early Bonnie Raitt, played by members Harpe on acoustic guitar, Jim Countryman on bass, Bob Nisi on drums and Richard Ò RosyÓ Rosenblatt on harmonica, a team that formed in May 2010.

For the event, Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers will be performing a lot of originals and cuts from their upcoming new album, like their theme song Ò The Delta Swing,Ó Ò Good Luck BabyÓ and their new sing-along, Ò The Voodoo Blues.Ó TheyÕ ll also mix in some old time delta blues numbers like Memphis MinnieÕ s Ò Chauffeur Blues,Ó Ò Shake Your HipsÓ and a danceable version of Ò Angel from Montgomery.Ó Ò We guarantee youÕ re going to love it, no matter what kind of music youÕ re into,Ó Harpe said. Ò Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers have been called Ô a dance band that has a unique delta blues flavor and a world music creamy filling...mixing in afrobeat, reggae, funk and disco with delta blues finger-picking, creating an amazing new sound.Õ Ò WeÕ re looking forward to it.Ó

Elmore SPCA Diesel is a gorgeous little guy that was surrendered, along with his pals Lopez and Mitzey, to a high kill pound in North Carolina. Their owners surrendered these great dogs because they had to have an emergency surgery

What if the Board verification process didn’t really improve?

Maybe some of the six illegal actions will interest the Comptroller, such as the $4,000 of changes to the 2013 budget after board adoption, but without their knowledge or approval.

EvelynÕ s loyalty to Margaret is admirable, sheÕ s a good soldier, but she’s wrong. My intent is not to deflect attention away from myself, since IÔ m not exactly staying below the radar, but rather to prevent both of them from coming back to office, which they appear intent on doing.

ItÕ s not Ò mean spirited stone throwing,Ò rather itÕ s a taxpayer expecting integrity from elected officials, past, present and future.

National Trails Day a success

Special thanks Steven and Helen Kellogg for hosting the main event and to the volunteers, hikers, and supporters of trails connecting our Champlain Valley communities.

To the Editor: During the Champlain Area Trails (CATS) celebration of National Trails Day, forty-two people hiked at Cheney Mountain in Moriah, eighteen on the new Ancient Oak Trail in Willsboro, and 170 people enjoyed hearing Emily Boedecker, executive director of VermontÕ s Local Motion talk about how her love of the outdoors brought her from England to Vermont via the Alps and Sierra Nevada Mountains to promote biking and hiking throughout the Champlain Valley.

Three of the lessons sheÕ s learned along the way are to know your community, always have a positive attitude and work with businesses to encourage appreciation of the outdoors.

In our Champlain Valley communities, economic vitality is inextricably linked with trails and outdoor recreation. Hikers increasingly want to hike from town to town like they do in England where it is a major boost for the economy. When hikers get to towns they look for places to eat, drink, shop, and sleep.

Meanwhile, the business owners want people to visit their establishments so more hikers leads to more businesses which attracts more hikers, and the cycle continues. Thinking positively, many of those hikers are cross-country skiers and snowshoers who will Ô PLATTSBURGHÕ S LUCIDÕ A week later, July 17, Lucid will take the stage at the Strand Center for the Arts.

In 2013, they released their newest album Home is Where We Wanna Grow, and theyÕ re currently working on a new album that has not yet been titled. Wurster said theyÕ re not sure what songs they will be performing at the concert. Ò [Our latest album] has a lot to do with community and togetherness,Ó Wurster said.

Why no bike lanes on Route 73?

To the Editor: I know that I should be glad for recent new paving on Route 73. And I wish to thank everyone who made that happen.

But, how does it keep happening without adding bike lanes?

Every study and every Zoning Code, the Comprehensive Plan and the Complete Streets plan says bike lanes are a necessity.

So, how do they not get done? Who makes that decision?

Whether you ride a bike on these roads or just want the bike people out of the way, the solution is more room for the bikes.

Before you line up against me Ñ yes, I know these roads are Ò primarilyÓ for cars and trucks. I just hope someday everyone using our roads will be able to do so safely.

James E. Morganson, Lake Placid Keller is a soul and blues musician who plays guitar with his band, which was formed in 1996, members Gary Lotspeich on bass, Brett Hoffman on drums and Ira Friedman on Hammond organ.

For the concert, Keller will be performing songs mainly from his two CDs Soul Changes and Where IÕ m Coming From.

His album, Soul Changes, was nominated for a Blues Music Award (BMA) for Best Soul/Blues CD of 2013. His previous CD, Where IÕ m Coming From, won the 2012 Best Self-Produced CD Award at the International Blues Challenge (IBC). Ô CONCERT SERIESÕ Ò The concert series started as wanting to merge all forms of cultural aspects together,” Dulle said. “It’s been going on for five plus years, and itÕ s been slowly growing.Ó The Strand plays a role in the development of the arts. Since its inception in 2000, they have strived to collaborate with the community and strengthen the economics of the North Country.

Currently, they provide an array of classes in clay, dance and movement, music, visual arts, writing and more, along with galleries and the Strand Theatre located in downtown Plattsburgh.

To learn more about the Strand Center for the Arts or the concert series, visit the website at plattsburgharts.org. Ò What we do is art based,Ó Dulle said. Ò ThatÕ s what we provided for the community.Ó so we placed her in her own large dog kennel.

She is much more at ease and would do best in a quiet house hold alone or with only one other cat.

She is very loving and really likes to be around her people. Leslie is spayed, is current on vaccinations and has tested negative for FeLV/FIV. She is ready to meet her new family and spend her days lounging in sunbeams.

MLPBS program celebrates Winter Games

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Driving through Lake Placid, one can see athletes skiing down Whiteface Mountain with the wind in their hair, snow treading behind them and a look of determination, things that were seen throughout the history of the Winter Games.

This scene is in light of the documentary that won an award created by one producer and the teamwork of the station Mountain Lake PBS. Ò The entire Mountain Lake team works diligently to produce only quality programming that will best serve our community, [and] we consider ourselves to be the regions storyteller and a convener of many conversations and issues that are important to our community,Ó said Alice Recore, CEO and president of MLPBS. Ò I am very pleased to be able to work with such a talented and creative group. Ò I couldnÕ t be prouder.Ó MLPBS won an award for Outstanding Locally Produced TV Show for Ò Mountain Lake PBS Celebrates Lake Placid and the Winter Games.Ó The award was given out at the New York State Broadcasters Association (NYSBA) Awards gala held at Waldorf Astoria in New York City June 12, which was accepted by Tomeka Weatherspoon. Ò I was the main producer, but television production is a team effort,Ó Weatherspoon said. Ò I had solid support. Our whole team was excited when we heard the news.Ó

The TV special, which was filmed in January 2014 and aired during the 2014 Sochi Winter Games, was a collaborative effort of Weatherspoon, executive producer Dan Swinton, videographer Dan McCullum and expert video wiz Laurie Atwood with assistance from Thom Hallock and Jen Kowalczyk.

The feature discussed the history surrounding Lake Placid and the Winter Games. Part of the special featured the Memories and Memorabilia event, which took place in Lake Placid. Ò As the Olympics were approaching earlier this year, we decided to capture a bit of the passion that everyone knows still resides within the village of Lake Placid,Ó Weatherspoon said.

Weatherspoon, with her production team, traveled through the village, went to some of the Olympic training facilities and listened to stories about the areaÕ s history with prominent local citizens, officials and athletes.

Some of the interviews included Audio-Visual Director of the Lake Champlain Olympic Committee Jack LaDuke, New York State Senator Betty Little and Communications Director for ORDA (New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority) Jon Lundin. Ò [The documentary] did a great job in explaining how the Olympics have grown since 1980, with the biggest thing being its size,” Lundin said. Ò I grew up in Lake Placid and got to see the 1980 Games and what they’re all about, and we didnÕ t have the number of games, athletes, people and media as we do now. Ò The games are much more extensive, and the venues are much more elaborate.Ó

The event gathered close to 1,000 local residents, visitors and Winter Games aficionados, bringing together stories from the 1980 Winter Games in Lake Placid, a program that can be watched in its entirety online at mountainlake. org/local-stories/outdoors/-mountain-lakepbs-celebrates-lake-placid-/.

Ò Really, we just wanted to make entertaining, yet still informative, TV,Ó Weatherspoon said. Ò The TV special ended up becoming something of a tribute to Lake PlacidÕ s past, present and continuation of that celebrated winter sporting culture.Ó

Burglaries continue to plague North Country ROUSES POINT Ñ The State Police ask for the publicÕ s assistance in solving another burglary in Rouses Point. This latest burglary occurred at the Chazy Hardware Store on Lake Street.

An unknown white male suspect entered the business during the overnight hours of June 30 into July 1. The suspect entered the business through a window. He was wearing a mask and gloves and, upon entering the business, stole a quantity of U.S. currency.

This burglary may be linked to the string of break-ins that have been recently investigated

by State Police and the Rouses Point Police Department.

If anyone has information about this investigation or the pictured suspect, they are asked to call the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations in Chazy at 518-563-3761.

Saranac Lake men accused of raping Plattsburgh woman Used app to lure woman

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ State Police in Plattsburgh arrested two Saranac Lake residents for the rape of an 18-year-old woman in a Plattsburgh hotel.

The pair, identified as Reginald Normil, age 22 and Fernando Francois, also age 22, lured the victim to a local hotel in late June, when she used the Ò Meet MeÓ app to meet the men. The Ò Meet MeÓ app allows users to meet people in a given area using their zip code.

According to police, the pair served the underage woman alcohol, prior to one of the men raping her and the other sexually assaulting her.

Normil was charged with rape, first degree, unlawful imprisonment, second degree, assault, third degree, and unlawfully dealing with a child, first degree. He was arraigned in the Plattsburgh town court and sent to the Clinton County Jail in lieu of $100,000 cash bail or $200,000 bond.

Francois was charged with unlawful imprisonment, second degree, forcible touching and unlawfully dealing with a child, first degree. He too was arraigned in the town of Plattsburgh court and was sent to the Clinton County Jail in lieu of $3,000 cash bail or $6,000 bond.

Police believe that Normil and Francois may have used Ò Meet MeÓ in the past to meet and possibly assault other young women and ask that anyone who has any information pertaining to the pair contact Investigator Rebecca Finn at 563-3761.

Ride for the River From page 1

Crossing Route 86 on to Fox Farm Route, Ausable Eddy will go onto Haselton Road through Wilmington and past the AsRA office into Black Brook. At this point, the trail loops up toward Taylor Pond before heading back into Au Sable Forks. From there, the route crosses the river and briefly follows the main branch downstream before the East Branch. Eventually, the trail will cross the East Branch in Jay before heading up Route 86 toward Hardy Road. Hardy Road will go past the trailhead for the mountain trails before heading back to the Hungry Trout Resort.

Two Branches is a shortened route of the Ausable Eddy. Like the Ausable Eddy, it will start off by following the West Branch of the river through Wilmington and into Black Brook. Rather than heading up toward Taylor Pond, it will follow Silver Lake Road east into Au Sable Forks, skipping the loop heading downstream on the main branch of the river. Eventually, the route will pick up the Ausable Eddy route on the back roads through Jay. From here, the two routes are the same along Route 86, Hardy Road, Springfield Road and Fox Farm Road back to the Hungry Trout Resort.

The Wilmington Loop, the smallest loop, heads down Springfield Road into Wilmington, continuing onto Haselton Road before taking Bilhuber Road back into Wilmington. From there, the trail will cross Route 86 onto Hardy Road, following it back to Springfield Road and, eventually, Fox Farm Road.

Wiltse recommends a 9 a.m. departure for Ausable Eddy, a 10 a.m. departure for Two Branches and a 11 a.m. departure for Wilmington Loop.
