By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — Champlain is the northeastern most town in New York state.

There are a pair of villages within the town separated by less than three miles, yet they are operating independent water and sewer systems.

And those systems experience pressure problems, while new services are needed for economic growth.

As a result, the Town of Champlain and villages of Champlain and Rouses Point are seeking funds for a joint water and sewer system.

The water system would

Keeseville Elementary School teacher Sheila Taylor spent part of her summer at an archaeological dig.

Photo by Stephen Bartlett

PLATTSBURGH — With a small pick, Sheila Taylor removed debris from what at first glance looked to be a pile of rocks.

But as a whole it began to resemble something placed with a purpose in the middle of the woods in a hole in the ground shaped like half a rectangle.

“You have to have patience and do it level by level,” said Taylor, a teacher at Keeseville Elementary School. “We determined that this was their hearth.”

She and other teachers and students recently participated in a dig at the site of Pike’s Cantonment in

Plattsburgh, a military encampment during the War of 1812 that may be the only one intact today.

Zebulon Montgomer Pike, Jr., a United States military officer, led the Pike expedition to explore and document the southern portion of the Louisiana Purchase and to find the headwaters of the Red River. During that time he recorded the discovery of what was later called Pikes Peak, in Colorado.

He served during the War of 1812, eventually reached the rank of brigadier general and was killed during the Battle of York.

Pike’s Cantonment was the location of a military encampment during the War of 1812, at which forces

People flock to Plattsburgh City Beach

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Martine Riendeau’s parents started bringing her to the Plattsburgh City Beach from Canada when she was a little girl.

When her parents passed she began going to the Plattsburgh City Beach with her brother and today drives with her son, Felix Leclerc, from Montreal to Plattsburgh.

“We like the beach,” said Riendeau.

They are not the only ones.

By July 13, the Plattsburgh City Beach had exceeded its season totals for 2008. That year, the entire beach season brought in $15,029 in revenue with just under 15,000 visitors.

So far for 2012, Plattsburgh City Beach has taken in $17,978 in revenue and 16,842 visitors.

City and Town of Plattsburgh residents continue to be admitted for free.

The Plattsburgh City Beach closes Sept. 3 and still has 50 days left in the beach season.

Plattsburgh City Beach saw its busiest day in recent memory on Saturday, July 14, with 1,229 vehicles passing through the gates.

Tops buying Grand Union, again

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PERU — Grand Union Supermarkets throughout the North Country that later became Tops Supermarkets, only to revert back to Grand Union, will once again be called Tops.

Tops Friendly Markets announced Thursday, July 19, they had entered into an agreement with Grand Union Markets LLC, to acquire 21 facilities located in upstate New York and Vermont, according to a release by the company.

The Grand Unions purchased by Tops include stores in the following locations: Elizabethtown, Au Sable Forks, two locations in Saranac Lake (Lake Flower Ave, and Church Street), Bolton Landing, Chestertown, Schroon Lake, Corinth, Greenville, Hancock, Warrensburg, Hoosick Falls, North Creek,

Northville, and Peru.

Tops has also purchased several Vermont locations including Hardwick, Northfield, and Rutland.

Tops officials said the local stores will still be called Grand Union until the transfer is complete, which is expected to happen this fall.

The acquisition will bring the number of Tops stores to 153 and will expand Tops’ footprint further into areas of northern and eastern New York State and neighboring northern Vermont.

“We are very excited about this growth opportunity for Tops, especially since these stores are a natural extension of our current footprint,” said Frank Curci, Tops Markets’ president and CEO. “We are looking forward to having these stores and the surrounding communities become part of the Tops family.”

“We believe this transition makes excellent strategic

sense for both organizations,” said Michael Newbold, EVP and Chief Administrative Officer for C&S Wholesale Grocers. “It allows Tops to strengthen its retail network, while C&S will continue to focus on its core business of providing innovative supply and logistics solutions to its wholesale customers. C&S very much appreciates its deep partnership with Tops and looks forward to the second decade of our relationship.”

The grocery stores were owned and branded by an older Grand Union company until it went under in 2001, when Tops bought the stores. In 2005, Tops sold them to C&S Wholesale Grocers, which ran the stores under the Grand Union name, acquired from the original company's bankruptcy.

According to the release, Tops plans to offer employment to the approximately

What's so special about the Adirondack Park?

FUN FACT #4

Want to find water in the Adirondack Park?

Walk downhill.

The Adirondack Park contains so many lakes and ponds state officials only recently managed to identify and map all of them. The job required satellite technology and global position devices. In all, there are more than 11,000 lakes and ponds, ranging in size from less than one acre to the 132-mile-long Lake Champlain. While Champlain lies at 300 feet above sea level, there is a pond near the top of the mile-high Mount Marcy, called Lake Tear of the Clouds. The park’s lakes and ponds are the source for more than 2,000 miles of navigable rivers, fed by more than 30,000 miles of brooks and streams.

Trio of men arrested and identified for running meth lab

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – Thick green leaves on trees partially obscure the entrance to Eleanor Way, a cul de sac located off Hamilton Street between Peru and MacDonough streets.

A dense row of trees along Eleanor Way give the appearance one is no longer in the city of Plattsburgh. It was calm and quiet on Wednesday as tree branches swayed gently in the breeze under the bright son.

The nearly hidden neighborhood was minus three residents, their names revealed Wednesday by the City Police department that arrested them the night be-

fore for manufacturing methamphetamine.

Aaron M. Prim, 35, of Redford; Kristopher M. Peryea, 22, of Saranac; and Jamie H. Gaudette, 36, of Plattsburgh; all face third-degree felony charges of third-degree unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine.

Methamphetamine is an illegal substance known as “meth,” “speed,” “crank,” and “ice.” The potent synthetic drug stimulates the central nervous system and results in effects similar to those of cocaine, giving the user a rush that lasts longer than cocaine.

It is increasingly popular and can be injected, snorted, taken orally and smoked. It leads to physical dependence.

In 2009, 1.2 million Americans age 12 and older abused methamphetamine, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

The three men recently arrested were held in the Plattsburgh Police lock-up overnight after being arrested at 10 Eleanor Way while in the process of preparing a batch of the drug. They were arraigned in Plattsburgh City Court Wednesday morning and remain in Clinton County Jail in lieu of $20,000 cash/$40,000 bond, pending further court action.

Police had been investigating the meth-lab operation when a Plattsburgh City Police officer entered the apartment Tuesday evening.

Aaron Prim

Jamie Gaudette

Kristopher Peryea

10 Eleanor Way is in a multifamily residence on a deadend street.

The officer entered the meth-lab just as the men were in the final stages of preparing a small batch of the drug.

Law enforcement evacuated residents of the apartment and nearby homes due to the dangers posed by the lab. Many chemicals used in meth labs are common in

homes, but the poor handling and disposal of them, as well as mixing incompatible compounds, can create hazards.

Common household chemicals used in meth labs include flammable and volatile solvents such as methanol, ether, benzene, methylene chloride, trichloroethane and toluene.

The three men were stripped after their arrest

and decontaminated behind a tarp near the building.

Also responding to the scene were personnel from the Plattsburgh City Fire Department and New York State Police Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Response Team. They decontaminated the apartment and collected evidence.

The investigation and gathering of evidence lasted through the night.

Police bring down another meth lab in Town of Plattsburgh

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – Police disrupted a meth lab operation in the town of Plattsburgh.

They arrested two individuals and evacuated several people, including a child, from the residence off Wallace Hill Road.

The raid comes on the heels of a similar operation just two days before when three individuals were arrested while in the midst of producing a batch of methamphetamines.

Law enforcement arrested Michael F. Meigs, 35, of Plattsburgh and Francis H. Estes, 20, of Keeseville. They face felony charges for unlawfully manufacturing methamphetamine.

The pair was arrested at Meigs’ home at 6 First St., which is located in the town of Plattsburgh off Wallace Hill Road.

An investigation by Plattsburgh City Police, the Adiron-

LANDOWNERS Paying Top $$ for All Species of Standing Timber

dack Drug Task Force and New York State Police resulted in information that led to the raid.

Several people, including a child, were evacuated from the residence.

Just two days earlier, police raided a multi-family home at Eleanor Way in the city of Plattsburgh, arresting three individuals and closing down a meth lab.

The meth labs are not related but are part of an ongoing investigation aimed at breaking up such operations, which often communicate with each other.

More than 12 million Americans have tried methamphetamine, and 1.5 million are regular users, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Meth labs have been uncovered in all 50 states, though Missouri tops the list with 8,000.

Law enforcement agencies nationwide rank methamphetamine as one of the top drugs they battle today.

Agencies attribute an increase in robberies, burglaries, domestic violence, assaults and identity theft to meth, while 40 percent of child welfare officials reported an increase in out-

Small theaters seek grants to enter digital age

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com Au SABLE FORKS/ LAKE PLACID/ SCHROON LAKE — Small, local movie theaters are seeking funds that will keep them from becoming extinct.

During the July 16 meeting of the Essex County Finance, Tax Reduction and Mandate Relief Committee, board chairman Randy Douglas of Jay asked supervisors to support a consolidated funding application on behalf of the Adirondack Film Society.

“It affects all the small movie theaters in all our small towns like Schroon Lake, Au Sable Forks, Queensbury and Lake Placid,” Douglas said. “All the big movie corporations have given the movie theaters 12 to 18 months to convert all to digital. There will be no movies at these theaters without the conversion, so they are applying as a group.”

Along with the theaters Douglas mentioned, the grant also applies to the State Theater in Tupper Lake, the Indian Lake Theater and the Strand Theater in Plattsburgh.

“It has a huge effect on Main Street America, on the small towns as we try and do things to improve our local downtowns,” Douglas added. “These are hubs in our communities throughout the North Country.”

Douglas said that the group was receiving help from Naj Wikoff, who is doing the application for the consolidated grant.

“It’s not just about changing the projectors over to digital technology; you also have to modify the sound systems as well and really, you need to get better screens,” Wikoff said.

“The point was really driven home during a discussion at the Lake Placid Film Festival when these local theaters came together.”

Wikoff said that the goal of the Adirondack Film Society was not only to help small theaters convert, but to help them thrive.

“What we want to do is not only raise the money to help them survive but help them own these projectors outright to get them into a position where they have a better chance to succeed,” he said. “These people often have another job, and they should be able to make a living off of these theaters.”

Douglas later said that he has already been working with local representatives to push for funding for these local theaters to make the conversion.

“I have been in contact with all of our local representatives and federal senators on the matter,” Douglas said.

“There were some that did not even know that this was going on.”

make that loan back unless we started charging what the big theaters do, and we will not do that.”

Hanf also said that the movie companies pushing for the changeover are only focused on the major movie carriers.

“If all of us little guys go out of business, the big guys do not care,” she said. “We make up one percent of one percent of their revenues. They are forcing us into this and it is not fair.”

Glen concerns Glen Drive-In owner Brett Gardner said that it would cost even more money two convert two outdoor projection systems.

“We are looking at about 170,000 or more to make the change,” Gardner said. “That is just for the projectors. You are not even talking about the renovations to the projector rooms and air conditioning that will be needed.”

Gardner said that he had also heard many concerns voiced about problems with the digital technology for drive-ins.

“This is being pushed down our throats.”

Palace malice “We need to update or just not be in business because there will be no film,” Barbara Clark, who runs the Palace Theater with her husband, Reginald, said.

The Palace Theater has more screens than any of the other small local theaters with four. Clark said that for many in the Tri-Lakes, the Palace is the only chance they have to see a first-run movie.

“There are some families that would not be able to make the drive to Plattsburgh or somewhere else because you are asking them to pay for the travel and gas and then pay for the movie and whatever else they want to get,” she said. “We always have a free movie here at the theater around Christmas and for some, that is the one movie they see all year.”

Strand-ed

is also part of the grant application.

The theater is owned by Larry and Liz McNamara, and is one host of the annual Christmas celebration, playing a movie for children.

“All of the film companies have been sending out letters bout the changeover,” McNamara said. “It will cost us about $100,000 to do the one. We have talked about what we are going to do, should we be a little, independent theater or should we just go ahead and shut down.”

McNamara said that the grant is key for the theater to continue to offer films.

“Nobody is happy about this unless you are one of the giant multiplexes that have a ton of money.”

Indian Lake Theater woes Danielle Shaw, executive director of the Indian Lake Theater, said that getting the grant would ensure that a vein of the community can remain open.

“We have a lot of activities here other than movies and if we were forced to close, it is not just closing the theater for movies but as a community gathering space.”

Shaw added that she wanted to make sure that people knew what was happening with the small local theaters.

“We need to band together and give people the idea of how these communities will be affected if the theaters close.”

Plattsburgh Strand Plan According to Leigh Mundy, the Strand Theater in Plattsburgh is also seeking their own grant along with the consolidated grant to help enter the digital age.

Mundy said that the change does add to the costs needed to renovate the theater, it would not be the only option.

“We will have local theater, graduations and other events,” she said. “With the Strand, we will grow into whatever we need to grow into, but I expect that film will be a big part of it.”

Trouble in the ‘Hollywood’

31661

31683

31748

In a letter to Sen. Chuck Schumer, Douglas wrote that for the Hollywood Theater in Au Sable Forks, they were looking at a conversion price tag for their two screens of around $160,000.

“This expense will be unreachable for them as a small business,” Douglas said. “Cory and Sierra (Hanf, owners) used a portion of the $200,000 matching grant secured by the town through the Office of Community Renewal to restore their marquee and other needed improvements. (These funds) to improve their theater and help to revitalize our downtown would now be undermined.”

“If we do not convert, we will not be able to show any movies at all,” Sierra Hanf said. “By the end of next year, there will be no more 35mm film. It will all be digital. We have been told we have to convert or we will have no movies at all.”

Hanf said that the general thought among movie companies that she has talked to is that the digital transition will come after the 2013 summer movie season, but before the holiday movie season.

“It is estimated that the change will be fully done by November of 2013,” she said. “Then, there will be no choice, you don’t have digital abilities, you have to close.”

Hanf said that they are hoping that the grant will be able to help them convert.

“If we do not get this grant, there will not be enough time to get another one,” she said. “People have asked us about getting a loan, but a theater like ours would never be able to

North Countryman Editorial

The difficulty in repealing ObamaCare

T

he process to repeal ObamaCare has been underway since the day it was signed in to law. So far, the results indicate that much must change before there is any actual repealing of ObamaCare.

The reality of the situation is that the only hope of repealing ObamaCare is in the hands of the worst possible group: establishment D.C. politicians.

Tomorrow, the House will vote again on repealing ObamaCare—which they have done successfully in this same session of Congress on January 19, 2011.

There is no reason to think that the House GOP is doing anything more that putting on more theater of “attempting” to repeal ObamaCare. The fact is there are many more things that House Republicans could be doing to actually repeal or dilute the bill that they seem to have little stomach for actually doing.

First, they could be voting to completely defund any action that is involved with implementing ObamaCare. Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Michele Bachmann are circulating a letter to their fellow members of Congress calling on them to vote to defund all actions implementing ObamaCare.

As the letter states, “Since much of the implementation of ObamaCare is a function of the discretionary appropriations process, and since most of the citizens we represent believe that ObamaCare should never go into effect, we urge you not to bring to the House floor in the 112th Congress any legislation that provides or allows funds to implement ObamaCare through the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Health and Human Services, or any other federal entity. We also urge you to take legislative steps necessary to immediately rescind all ObamaCare-implementation funds.”

Second, they could be using the reconciliation process in the Senate to repeal ObamaCare. As former Bush administration official James Capretta wrote in 2011, “a reconciliation bill cannot be filibustered — and therefore can pass in the Senate with a simple majority, normally 51 votes, when all time for debate has expired.”

Capretta goes further and lays out a realistic scenario:

“If, in the 2012 election, Republicans are able to maintain control of the House, pick up the majority in the Senate (a real possibility) but not a 60-vote supermajority, and win the White House (looking more possible by the day), the GOP would be in position to set in motion a reconciliation bill to repeal and replace Obamacare — and they wouldn’t need any Democratic cooperation to make it happen. The fact that leading Republican presidential candidates have now said that reconciliation is an option is a big deal, as it makes it very clear to all concerned that there is a clear path to victory for Obamacare opponents.”

But the real problem in all of this is that we have to rely on politicians to handle the repeal of ObamaCare. The incentive structure for politicians is based upon receiving political donations and votes in the ballot box. Politicians make most (and I believe all) decisions based on those incentives. Therefore, if you want politicians to behave in such a way, such as to repeal ObamaCare, then you must provide them with the incentives to behave in certain ways.

Unfortunately though, House Republican leadership publicly announced in the run-up to the 2010 midterm elections that they would “repeal and replace” ObamaCare if given the opportunity. The “replace” portion is where the real danger lies. The House GOP governing document the Pledge to America as well as many other Republicans in Congress who have publicly supported the politically popular provisions of ObamaCare such as allowing “kids” to stay on their parents’ insurance until they are 26 years old as well as guaranteeing insurance for those with pre-existing conditions, indicate that the Congressional GOP is in no hurry to completely dismantle ObamaCare.

The latest effort by House Republicans to conduct another orchestrated “repeal” vote of ObamaCare does not indicate that Republicans really want to repeal it. If they are really serious this time, they need to prove it by actually defunding its implementation and forcing Obama and the Senate to explain to their constituents why they want to fund the law at all.

hree meth labs, sexual assaults, murder, suicide, a bank robber claiming he had a gun, a pharmacy thief passing notes about a knife, and countless acts of degradation, cruelty, violence and inhumanity unaccounted for.

Does this mean crime in Plattsburgh and the surrounding region is increasing?

Is there a growing army of criminals lurking in dark alleys, waiting at home to pounce with their hoodies and shades, cooking meth while Susie swings from the maple tree across the street?

I don’t have a clue.

Actually, this reminds me of Clinton County Sherriff Dave Favro and his insistence that society focus on the root of the problem instead of reacting to the results. I don’t know if he and I agree on all the snarled roots of growing problems, but I agree with where the focus should be placed and applaud him.

Too much energy is rammed into reacting to social ills. Even investigations, whether by law enforcement or social services, while required, are a reaction to a

spreading sickness.

I’m no pioneer in suggesting focus be placed on the problem’s inspiration and breaking dysfunctional cycles, as nearly every expert and survivor says the same.

Yet a persistent and sometimes aggressive segment of society consistently demands government slash funding to “entitlement programs,” which include social services, education, a range of proactive, therapeutic approaches and more. I’m consistently confused by this, because that same group wants less crime – some of them could care less about the suffering of others so I will leave that out – yet their demands would result in more robberies and murders and sexual assaults and so on and so forth until even the statistics are cuffed and charged with assault.

These same groups, like many, often want fewer taxes and less governmental spending, yet prisons are not cheap and more criminals means more cops.

Treating the symptoms of the disease, while costly at first, would undoubtedly, over time, result in less money spent and few-

Stephen Bartlett

From the Editor’s Desk er people victimized.

If, say, a young man or woman is consistently molested, there is a chance that child could grow up to be a pedophile unless some sort of intensive action occurs to remedy the situation, beyond removing the child from the home.

Children born to addicts have the odds stacked against them.

Violence births violence.

Our children often do as we do, not as we say, which is why the lying, cheating and stealing likely started a few generations back.

Even decent people at times act as criminals to satisfy basic needs when living in poverty, and those needs grow like a cancerous tumor along with the crimes if the people are not so decent.

And this mindset that hard work pays off is about as truthful as the earth’s flatness, except even in the wake of statistics people close their eyes, plug their ears and squeal “nanny nanny goo goo” to that reality. Countless individuals work intensely hard yet barely put food on the table due to pathetic wages and suffer from inadequate to no to overwhelmingly expensive health insurance.

Anyone reading this could accuse me of fueling my assumptions with stereotypes and generalizations.

And? Stereotypes and generalizations are stereotypes and generalizations because numbers back them up. I’m a fierce advocate for benefit of the doubt over assumption because you never know when you might oppress someone. But if say, 8 out of 10 children born to crack heads do not succeed, then

there is nothing wrong with rolling with that stereotype and tackling the problem at its root to offer those children an improved chance at success, at the same time reducing costs in the long run by decreasing crime.

Yes, children from horrific households can defy the odds, and that inspirational story, but it is not the norm. Children from healthy and loving families can fail, but that is also not the norm.

Yet some people act as if those rare stories are as reliable as rising gas prices.

Ultimately, more often than not, dysfunctional behavior is not malicious, meaning that while reactions may be required at times, this society possesses an array of tools that can fix the problem before it starts.

Is there more crime in the North Country?

Why don’t we adequately shift our focus before answering questions that don’t yet need to be asked.

Our life coaches, Style and Substance: children and the economy Dear Style & Substance: We are the parents of 2 high school age kids and are watching our friends with children that are graduating – most are either staying at home or moving back home because of the economy. We are concerned about it and wonder what you would suggest in preparing for this or is it just to be expected?

There is a lot to be said about this very important issue, therefore this is part one of a two part column. This trend has most recently been termed “failure to launch”, which sounds quite negative. If we turn it around and call it “successful launching”, we may come up with some more positive solutions. We believe your concerns are spot on.

We recommend that you start early in having realistic expectations and being communicative and flexible with these.

We believe that the early start means as soon as you begin communicating with your child. It can be a very “soft sell” throughout or you can wait until the last year and start the “hard sell”. From listening and doing it on our own, we can say that the “soft sell” is a much easier and smoother method.

While every family situation is unique, there are commonalities in the “soft sell” of launching your child: set high, yet reasonable, standards, expect success and failure, hold them accountable to right their wrongs, and celebrate self-reliance. Parents can have fun with this, and should! A very important part of a child’s growth is developing a positive sense of self which builds confidence and independence.

Creating an expectation oriented environment, means that your communication, interactions and behaviors reflect what you wish for your children. In other words, do what

you say and say what you do. This shows consistency and reliability, which are two very important traits in the successful launch. To produce emotionally, physically and spiritually healthy young adults, the key outcomes should be that they have their own personal sense of discipline, understand consequences of actions and behaviors, and seek to meet their potential.

Create a checklist of all the things you need to teach your child before they leave home.

Some ideas for the list are: securing and keeping a job, opening and maintaining a bank account, budgeting and money management, time management and follow through, how to wash and fold laundry, sewing on a button, presentable grooming/dressing, healthy cooking on a budget, a fitness routine, returning an item to a store, changing a flat tire, making a doctors or other appointment, etc… As these opportunities present themselves, take the time to begin and continue with the instruction. Sometimes you will have to demonstrate and other times they can try on their own with some constructive feedback. Be approachable and let your kids know that no question is too silly.

Dinner table conversation can provide a more relaxed opportunity to discuss the learning of these life skills and the very real concerns young adults have as they prepare to launch.

Using stories of other ’s successes and struggles are perfect ways to teach the lessons of life with compassionate and thoughtful responses.

Learning these skills, essentially developing a bag of tricks, at a steady pace throughout childhood gives them the ability to focus on tougher, inevitable unknowns when out on their own, and enables them to launch with confidence.

Clinton County Fair, fried dough and sausage

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com MORRISONVILLE – I scolded myself for forgetting my sunglasses as I walked around the corner and into the Clinton County Fair.

I winced against the sun’s glare, sweat dripping down the center of my back, my armpits wet.

To my right, a towering snow cone and candy apple, a pair of sweet giants, offered no shade as their flapping pink and yellow flags taunted me with an elusive breeze.

But as I glared at Pizza Hut and sticky-faced children gobbling up cotton candy, my mood improved. To my left, excited screams came from a nearby ride and I smiled and recalled fairs of my youth, begging my parents for one more ticket for a final ride.

I turned to walk down an alley of games and persistent carnies when I noticed the giant stuffed dairy cow staring at me from above the water game. I thought for sure he would wink, privy to carnival secrets I could not fathom, but when he remained wide-eyed, I walked on and passed the hall of mirrors, something that consistently causes my chest to tighten each time I see it.

Still, I was excited about the Clinton County Fair, with its promises of animal shows, bumper cars, rides, the demolition derby, kettle corn, chainsaw sculptors, North Country’s Got Talent and a host of entertainment, including master hypnotist Michael Blaine and country singer Hunter Hayes.

And, most importantly, fried dough.

I set off to find a fried dough stand but halted at a sign for a 100-pound rat and headless woman. I knew a live headless woman was impossible, but I wondered about the rat.

I recalled, early in my journalism career, covering a rat infestation at the home of a woman living off social security who could no longer cover her trash bill as costs and taxes rose. A gray quilt of rats surrounded much of her property and some of them were monstrous.

But 100 pounds? I decided I didn’t need to uncover the truth that badly and pressed on.

“Are you with the news?”

I turned toward the voice behind me to find three children playing Beer Bust or break a bottle. A woman and the carny running the game watched the children hurling baseballs like big league pitchers in training, shouting and bouncing on the tips of their toes at the rare sound of a shattered bottle.

“This is his first year,” said Tammy LaMora, pointing at her son, five-year-old Brady, as the boy sent a fast ball between two bottles.

“He wanted to play the game. It’s fun, except it’s very expensive.”

Brady’s older brother, Kyle, preferred the bumper cars.

“It’s fun running into people.”

Then, the 13 year old picked up a baseball and fired away, his first pitch greeted by exploding glass.

Kyle glanced at me without smiling and picked up another ball.

I turned to locate fried dough but a chocolate covered banana stopped me in my tracks as my belly rumbled.

Fortunately for my wallet I spotted a mother and father with their little girl in a pink cowboy hat, sitting at a picnic bench and eating. A small-town America fair shot tied in a bow of cuteness if I ever saw one.

“We came here for the 4-H show,” said Walt Wnuk as I sat with the family.

“We like to come here because there is a lot to offer the whole family,” Michelle Wnuk said.

“And I like the horses,” chirped six-year-old Abby.

“I’ve been riding two years.”

After I took the photo I thanked them and turned to leave when Abby smiled and said, “And I ride the carousel. It has horses.”

I made a pit stop at Southwest Design to purchase Thai pants for my fiancé, Erica, and briefly spoke with Yvonne Swaby, who was running the shop for her boyfriend. She said she likes interacting with people and prefers fairs over working in the store.

Nearby, Kristena Colby and her son, Karsen, were

heading to the horses when the boy struck up a conversation with a wandering clown. His mom said they hit the fair yearly to see the horses.

I snapped a couple photos, my stomach demanding attention, and dashed over to the fried dough stand, placed my order, covered it in sugar and sat down at a picnic table and ate. My tongue and stomach danced a jitterbug, bowing after the last bite when a German sausage in the hands of a kid skipping by demanded an encore.

I stood up, adjusted my waistline and set off on another adventure.

Located at the historic Union Depot in the heart of Saranac Lake, the Adirondack Scenic Railroad takes visitors on a 20-mile round-trip excursion to the Olympic village of Lake Placid during the summer. Historic Saranac Lake restored the train station in the mid-1990s and has since handed it over to the village. The Adirondack Scenic Railroad is a volunteer-based not-for-profit organization that has restored more than 70 miles of railroad tracks in the Adirondack Park, including tracks near Old Forge and between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. Trains operate late May to early October.

Address: 42 Depot St. Phone: (518) 891-3238. Web: adirondackrr.com

Lake Champlain and the Saranac River are both within the City of Plattsburgh and offer excellent fishing opportunities. Lake Champlain is a premier location for Bass fishing and hosts some of the largest professional bass fishing tournaments in the world. The lake contains Lake Trout, Atlantic Salmon, Perch, Gar and Smelt. The Saranac River contains Rainbow Trout, Salmon, Flathead Catfish, Rock Bass and Drum.

Can-Am Rugby Tournament The 39th annual Can-Am Rugby Tournament will attract more than 100 teams from the U.S. and Canada to compete on 13 fields. On July 27, games begin at 8 a.m. on fields in Saranac Lake. On July 28, games begin at 8 a.m., on fields in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid.

Local businesses receive state funding for flood repairs Relief from Tropical Storm Irene continues with a round of funds for non-profits

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Non-profits throughout the region will receive help from the state of New York in their continuing plight to recover from Tropical Storm Irene.

The office of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced the grants, which were awarded to small businesses and notfor-profits in the North Country through the Business Flood Recovery Grant

Program, part of 584 eligible entities that sustained direct, flood-related damage as a result of Tropical Storm Irene or Tropical Storm Lee. Overall, the entities will receive a total of $7.9 million in assistance through the Business Flood Recovery Grant Program. Empire State Development (ESD), the agency administering the Business Flood Recovery Grant Program, will provide grants of up to $20,000 to the small businesses, farms, multiple dwellings, and notfor-profits that qualified for the program.

“Helping our communities recover from the devastating floods has remained a top priority, and today, we have matched that commitment with critical funding to support their resurgence,”

Cuomo said. “This grant program will help those who were hit hardest by the floods get the resources they need to rebuild.”

“As we know, recovery from the devastation is a long and ongoing process,” Sen. Betty Little said. “I’m pleased to join in making this announcement recognizing the need for continued state assistance and the importance of helping employers in our hard-hit communities make progress and recover financially.”

Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas said he was pleased to hear the news.

“We are very thankful,” Douglas said. “We have been waiting for a while to hear word on these grants. This is certainly a shot in the arm

and I can’t thank the governor enough for that.”

Douglas also gave credit to local officials.

“Carol Calabrese, Jody Olcott (Essex County IDA) and Mike Mascarenas (county community resources director) really did a good job reaching out to the local businesses.

Exchange brings individuals to Plattsburgh from afar

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — When it came time for laundry, one young woman from Sub-Saharan Africa told her Plattsburgh host hers is done by the maid.

Another asked for a bucket to clean her clothes, while some required basic instruction on indoor plumbing.

All of them are teachers and students who visited America to enhance their knowledge of leadership, civic involvement and academics. A second group of 30 will spend two weeks in Plattsburgh in mid-September and host families are still needed for at least 10 individuals.

“It gives you great perspective, and you make a change in the way they regard America,” said Theresa Bennett, home stay coordinator for the Youth Leadership Program at Plattsburgh State with Francophone

Africa.

By Oct. 1, 60 youths and adults from Sub-Saharan Africa will have visited Plattsburgh as part of a new U.S. State Department, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs $330,000 grant awarded to Plattsburgh State and the Program for African Growth through Education, also known as PAGE Inc. The program is designed to enrich the experience of Francophone African youth and adults through two three-week exchanges. This past March, 30 individuals visited the area from Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad, with another 30 coming in September from the Ivory Coast and Mauritania.

They will take part in lessons and activities that address youth leadership, culture, team-building, community mapping, civic responsibility, ethics, American government and community service. Field trips are planned to local schools,

non-profits and government offices.

The experience further includes a bus trip to Albany and Washington, D.C. Participants are required to develop six community service projects, which they will implement once they return to Africa.

“Because PAGE is fundamentally concerned with literacy, we are hopeful that most of the community service projects will focus on education,” said Marguerite Aldelman, curriculum consultant for the Youth Leadership Program.

Participants stay in homes throughout Plattsburgh.

“We need hosts,” Bennett said.

The students and teachers spend two weeks with hosts, who feed them and must get them to the university, though the visitors spend 8 a.m.-5 p.m. at Plattsburgh State during the week.

“Any family or household is welcome,” Bennett said.

Many of the visitors and

hosts remain in contact.

Bennett said it was amazing to watch the last group of visitors. Nearly 9 out of 10 had not seen a computer, yet they were very adaptable, she said.

Many of the individuals had never been in an arcade nor seen ice.

Hosts who had teenagers of their own said they appreciated the perspective the new member of their family offered.

One individual explained that April is the hottest month and with 22 people in the small house, it was her job to pour gasoline around it to ward off snakes.

The hosts tried their hands at new experiences too, with one downloading an application that enabled her to locate the direction of Mecca, the holiest city in the religion of Islam.

Dr. Jean Ouedraogo, board president of PAGE Inc., said he and Adelman applied for the grant because “of our belief that en-

riching the learning and teaching experiences of communities near and far can contribute to a better understanding of Plattsburgh’s connectedness to the world

out there and our region’s role in shaping it.”

Death at Ausable Chasm declared a suicide

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com AUSABLE CHASM — A Keeseville man’s body found was found July 23 after he commited suicide by jumping from the Ausable Chasm bridge.

James R. Rock, 26, of Keeseville was discovered shortly after 8 a.m. by an employee at the Ausable Chasm, a hiking and waterway tourist attraction on Route 9.

An autopsy performed by Clinton County Coroner David F. Donah, at 11:30 a.m. on July 23 found Rock’s fatal injuries to be consis-

Archeological Dig from page 1 under his command stayed. Nearly 2,000 American soldiers encamped for the winter of 1812-13, moving out of the area well before the Battle of Plattsburgh on Sept. 11, 1814.

Still, the cantonment was instrumental that day, utilized by British troops as a spot to cross the Saranac River as they attempted to circle America soldiers defending Plattsburgh.

That battle played an important part in America’s victory in the War of 1812.

Yet Pike’s Catonment, which the British burned to the ground, remained a mystery, the location of the

Water & Sewer from page 1 cost roughly $13.95 million, while the sewer component carries a price tag of around $4.7 million.

“The town and two villages have studied how they could work together to provide municipal water and sewer more effectively to their residents and businesses,” said village of Champlain Mayor Gregory Martin.

Besides fostering economic growth, the shared system will expand services and greatly reduce collective operational costs.

An enhanced sewer system would also provide increased environmental protection.

“The project is designed to address what the committee

tent with suicide. According to Senior Investigator Kevin Levign with the State Police in Plattsburgh, the coroner ’s findings supported results of their investigation.

Police have not determined why Rock would commit suicide.

“It’s something we are constantly questioning with many cases like this and sometimes we never learn why someone would choose to take their own life or what their mindset was at the time to feel this was their only option,” Levign said.

According to Levign, the bridge has been a destination for suicidal

If you or someone you know may be at risk for completing suicide, seek help by contacting a mental

health professional or calling 1866-5PREVENT. According to Clinton County Suicide Prevention and Behavioral Health Services North these are possible signs someone may be suicidal: • Threatening to hurt or kill oneself or talking about wanting to hurt or kill oneself.

• Looking for ways to kill oneself by seeking access to firearms, available pills or other means.

• Talking or writing about death, dying or suicide when these actions are out of the ordinary for the person.

• Feeling hopeless.

site debated for decades until Plattsburgh City Clerk Keith Herkalo conducted his own extensive research and later enlisted the help of Dr. Timothy Abel, an archaeologist specializing in the War of 1812.

Through a dig that turned up a tailor’s thumb thimble, 1795 bayonet scabbard chape, .69 caliber round ball and military jacket buttons, it was confirmed that the location of Pike’s Cantonment was on a hillside above the Saranac River west of Plattsburgh.

The dig further uncovered building sites, with clear evidence of chimneys, cobble floors and trenches, which were commonly built around military huts.

“This is part of a hut,” Herkalo said

recently during a two-week dig conducted by Abel with the help of Clinton Community College students and teachers through the North Country Teacher Resource Center.

“What remains is believed to be the only intact encampment from 1812.”

The remains continue to provide artifacts as well as architectural features.

“We can find out what kind of structures they lived in, what they were eating and we may find personal items,” Abel said.

He stood near the edge of the outlines of a hut, pointing to a pile of rocks placed by soldiers to create a hearth and a red area, the remains of a fire box.

“That is the floor of an 1812 hut.”

Four students and five teachers worked in every corner and along the edges, some with tiny shovels and picks, others with brushes, just some of the tools used as they peeled away layers of earth and uncovered the artifacts.

Abel said the goal this year was to define a structure, how it was built and the camp layout.

“From what I have found they did not mortar the joints of the chimney but just stacked stones,” Abel said. “If I had unlimited money I could spend the rest of my career out here.

“So we set short term goals we can accomplish and keep plugging away as long as the project is supported.”

tank and booster pump to address the needs.

There is no water pressure on the third floor of the main building when the village flushes hydrants.

The project would install a water tower close to the border to deal with pressure issues and provide for expanded service needs.

“There is discussion by the state of New York to build a truck inspection station close to the border area which will need water and wastewater services,” Martin said.

The project targets water quality issues as Rouses Point transitions to a new groundwater source and eliminates the current Lake Champlain source. Rouses Point needs water treatment plant improvements to enhance water

quality, expand services and reduce costs.

“The Clinton County Health Department is working with the village to improve the water quality,” Martin said. “The project also includes new remote read water meters which will encourage water conservation within the village.”

Providing water and wastewater services for the Route 11 corridor will provide for future economic growth. The connection of the villages’ water supply with a new water main will provide a guaranteed water supply for both villages.

“This became very evident four years ago when the village of Champlain’s water supply had to be shut down and the village of Rouses

“I look at each nail and I think that a soldier pounded that into the cabin,” she said. “Nobody has been in here for 200 years.”

Point provided water that was trucked to Champlain to maintain water pressure for the system,” Martin said.

The project also addresses low water pressure levels in the village of Champlain where a number of residents on Prospect St. experience less than the health department requirement.

“The village has started a program where the water service fees are waived for residents with a booster pump to elevate their water pressure,” Martin said.

A new elevated water storage tank will increase pressure to the village as well as the town districts.

Increased pressure will make it possible for Northeastern Clinton Middle/High School to take its booster

pump off line, which will result in cost savings for the school district.

The water main will be extended from the school to the Route 276 interchange where it will connect with the Rouses Point water main extension, opening service for a new area of development. The anticipated new border patrol station would be located in this area, expanding services provided by the village of Champlain.

Funding applications were submitted to Empire State Development and the North Country Regional Economic Development Council.

“This project capitalizes on a unique regional asset,” Martin said.

60,844!

Newspapers Delivered via USPS Thursday & Friday.

The above comparison only shows subscribers to the Press Republican and postal deliveries made

by Denton Publications in the same zip codes.

Newsstand sales and bulk drop distribution is not represented. Doing so would not substantially alter the differential.

Just like in golf you wouldn’t want to play the same course every time, so we are not suggesting you not place information in the Press Republican, it plays a valuable communication role in our region. We do think however, it’s important that you understand the significant differences between our delivered quantity in comparison to theirs and recognize that missing 49,157

homes and business locations in your immediate market could significantly impact your results.

Compare the zip codes most important to your event or business and see if adding that Denton publication to your media mix makes sense for your efforts. Call our office today and schedule an appointment to learn about your locally owned community publications and web sites.
