The trail to freedom

By Teah Dowling

This Week PLATTSBURGH

teah@denpubs.com PERU Ñ When John Lecky, a local citizen, renovated a farmhouse on Hallock Hill Road between Keeseville and Harkness, he discovered a leg iron, leg cuff, under the floor boards at the top of the stairway leading to the attic.

The house had been built in 1820 by Pliny Hoag on approximately 190 acres owned by his father, David Hoag, who was a member of the Quaker Union.

The museum concluded that the Hoag family had provided assistance to at least one slave as represented by the leg iron, a site that can be seen on the Underground Railroad Museum bus tours.

The two-hour tour leaves the North Star Underground Railroad Museum Aug. 16 at 9:30 a.m. The cost is $10 per person, and reservations are suggested. Ò This year is the third year weÕ ve done the tours, and theyÕ ve been quite successful,Ó said Linda Richardson,

Gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino called for an independent investigation of the Moreland Commission scandal currently growing around Governor Andrew Cuomo, and pledged to clean up Albany if elected.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino rolled into Plattsburgh on Tuesday, July 29 on a hop-scotching tour around New York state, hammering Andrew Cuomo on a scandal rapidly threatening to overshadow his re-election campaign efforts.

Astorino blasted CuomoÕ s choice to disband the anti-corruption Moreland Commission, a commission that he said would be Ò totally independent” of his office, as the Governor’s “Watergate in the making.Ó The Westchester County Executive called for an independent, state-wide investigation of Cuomo to run concurrent to a federal investigation currently underway. Ò We need an expeditious review of this so the people of the state know if their governor is a crook or not, certainly before election day,Ó he said. Ò There are a lot of questions that need to be answered, and the governor canÕ t just try to brush this off with contradictory statements that should be not just an embarrassment but should be really a red flag to everybody.”

In a sparsely attended press conference on the steps of Plattsburgh City Hall, just put together that morning, Astorino produced a halfgallon bottle of bleach, and pledged to clean up Albany if he is elected. Ò Andrew Cuomo is not the person, nor was he ever going to be the person, to clean up the mess in Albany because nobody is more Albany than Andrew Cuomo. He was born and bred to that culture.Ó One voice in the crowd suggested Drano might be more appropriate.

Plattsburgh was the second city on TuesdayÕ s whirl-wind agenda, after a three city tour the day before.

In a question and answer period after his prepared remarks, Astorino reiterated his pledge to repeal the Safe Act, as well as New YorkÕ s implementation of the Common Core educational standards, which he said was implemented too quickly and is a disaster.

Astorino deflected a question about whether not the current scandal growing around Cuomo was the best thing that has happened to his

World War II veteran recalls his 17 missions over Germany Vet took part in Honor Flight trip from Plattsburgh

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Ninety-three year old Earl Morrow sat in a folding chair in the shade cast by the wing of a B-17 bomber, the same type bomber he jumped out of high over Germany in 1944, only seconds before it exploded.

The World War II bomber, Sentimental Journey, is one of only seven B-17s still flight worthy out of the 12,731 produced during the war. It tours the country as part of the Commemorative Air Force Aviation Museum based in Mesa, Arizona. It and several other World War II planes tour the country keeping the memory of the war and those who fought it alive. Morrow was one of those people.

Morrow held court on the runway of the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport in Queensbury the entire week that Sentimental Journey graced the airstrip. Though tours of the plane took place all day, it was Morrow who captivated the crowd.

Originally from the Glens Falls area, Morrow

took a bus to Schnectady the day he turned 21 to enlist in the Schnectedy Aviation Cadet Program. Of the 50 or so men who enlisted in the program, only five were selected to fly. Morrow was one of the five.

After his training with the Army Air Corps, Morrow ended up in the cockpit of a B-17 Flying Fortress based out of southern England with the 457th Bomber Group. Waves of the massive bombers flying out of England were one of the factors that helped to turn the tide of the war in the European Theater.

“I flew 17 missions, I count that last one because we had already dropped our bombsÓ Morrow said. Ò Only four of those missions were flown with my own plane. The rest of the time the mechanics were fixing it because it would get all shot up.Ó It was that fateful 17th mission where Morrow nearly met his end. High over eastern Germany his wave of bombers encountered German fighter planes. Morrow’s plane received numerous hits, starting a fire and seriously injuring his co-pilot. Morrow gave the order to abandon the plane.

Free falling through the German sky, he saw that the German pilots were shooting at the Americans whose parachutes had already deployed. He waited a long as he could, plumeting through the clouds until the last possible moment. Ò I pulled the cord and the parachute came out and it worked. I hit the ground and three women came up to me,

and they had pitchforks,Ó Morrow said. Ò I pulled my jacket open, and I had a .45, so they backed off.Ó He took off through the field, until other Germans came after him with rifles. Seeing the rifles, Morrow sat down and became a prisoner of war. Ò I lost three of my boys that day when we were shot down.

The rest of us were POWs, and now IÕ m the only one left.Ó Ò You could say IÕ ve been there and done that.Ó

He spent time at three different POW camps, moving steadily westward as the Soviet army advanced through Germany. At his third camp, he was liberated by General PattonÕ s army. Ò Patton came in to liberate us, and he was riding in the back of a truck. I got a salute out of the old boy. I ran up to his truck and threw up a salute, and he returned it.Ó Morrow had more stories to tell, and a constantly changing crowd of people pressed in around him to hear them. At times local World War II veterans stopped by as well to talk to Morrow and swap their own stories from the war. The hardest part about meeting Morrow many found out, is when it is time to leave.

Following the war Morrow enjoyed a 30 year career as a commercial pilot, saying he never Ò workedÓ a day his life. He was a member of a North Country Honor Flight out of Plattsburgh in 2013. He recalled the trip to Washington fondly, then went back to holding court about his days flying over Germany.

Sentimental Journey is on its way to its next stop, but for the hundreds of people Morrow spoke to last week, the memories of the big bombers and the boys who flew them will live on.

Cats overrunning some North Country towns SPCA head hopes to open dialog

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PERU Ñ There is a cat problem in parts of North Country, and it is threatening to overrunn the handful of animal welfare agencies trying to stem the tide.

Rebecca Burdo, Director of Elmore SPCA thinks that it is time to engage both town and county governments to try to find a solution. Cats that arenÕ t altered tend to breed incessently during the summer, and in communities such as Peru, Rouses Point, Ellenburgh and the City of Plattsburgh, colonies have been established and are growing rapidly. Ò Ninety percent of my calls every day are about cats,Ó said Burdo. Ò Everyone who feeds these cats wants to help them, but if they aren’t spaying or neutering them, it just magnifies the problem.Ó Burdo says that low-cost spayings or neuterings, such as those done by Dr. Ann Marie KileyÕ s Adirondack Mobile Vetrinary Service, would help the problem, but that more vetrinarians would need to be providing the service to seriously make a dent in the problem. Ò You have no idea how many local citizens are taking care of cats on their own with their own money.Ó She said that if more low-cost spaying and neutering were available, people might take care of the neighborhood cat or cats that they normally feed, and they ultimately wouldnÕ t breed.

There is also a clinic in Colchester, Vermont which offers spaying and neutering. Elmore has organized trips to Colchester to

Citizen Soldier Youth Camp planned

PLATTSBURGH Ñ During the summers of 1916 and 1917, the Plattsburgh Barracks was a place of action and adventure.

This summer, Clinton County Historical Association campers will relive that electric excitement from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 12-15 as participants in the Citizen Soldier Youth Camp. During the course of the week, students will explore the socio-political events that led to the Plattsburgh Barracks becoming a central part of AmericaÕ s military organization. Campers will be immersed in what life was like at the Barracks for new officer candidates. Campers will learn drill from that period with replica training rifles and discover the art of trench warfare as it was taught at Plattsburgh in 1917. Campers will receive periodenlistment paperwork, pay and enjoy period-food rations. In the course of a week, campers will come to have a new-found appreciation for the pivotal role that Plattsburgh played during AmericaÕ s involvement in World War I, as well as a deep respect for the courage and bravery of every man, woman, and child

help out people who are altering comminuty cats. Ò ItÕ s hard to get people to even come to a free rabies clinic,Ó said Peru Town Supervisor Pete Glushko. Ò WhatÕ s wrong with something that is free?Ó Other issues are adding to the problem as well. Ò Free feeding is a huge issue that needs to be addressed as well,Ó she said. Ò Free feeding also brings in animals like foxes who lived through and experienced the Ò war to end all wars.Ó The Camp is instructed and designed by well-known reenactor and educator, Matthew T. Hewson. It will be held at the Clinton County Historical Association, located at 98 Ohio Avenue, Plattsburgh from Tuesday, August 12th through Friday, Aug. 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The cost is $50 per camper.

The Camp is recommended for youth between the ages of 9 and 13. Call the Museum at 561-0340 to register your camper today!

Vacation Bible School slated

PLATTSBURGH Ñ First Presbyterian Church of Plattsburgh and Plattsburgh United Methodist Church Invite Families to wilderness escape Vacation Bible School A summer family event called Ò Wilderness Escape: Where God Guides and ProvidesÓ hosted by both churches will be held at First Presbyterian Church on Brinkerhoff St., Plattsburgh, August 11th Ð August 15th, 5:30-7:30pm. Participants

and racoons, which can bring rabies with them.Ó Glushko agrees. Ò Basically itÕ s people feeding stray cats,Ó Glushko said. Ò When you do that it assumes you are going to care for the cats and get them fixed, and people aren’t getting them fixed.

“If you’re going to feed them, get them fixed.”

Burdo hopes that people concerned about the growing cat epidemic will contact their town and county legislators, and open a dialog about the issue. Local laws similiar to those governing dogs would help with stray cats she says. Ò You donÕ t see packs of wild dogs running around, because there are laws governing them.Ó In New York City, for instance, cats are not allowed to roam free unless they have been fixed, have had rabies shots and are identified. Ò Any animal laws are for the good of the animals, and theyÕ re are really not a lot of laws for cats,Ó Glushko said.

He added that people feel that cats are outside animals, but checking the roadside most days shows that they really arenÕ t. Ò Our goal is to start a dialog between animal welfare agencies in the area and the municipalities,Ó said Elmore SPCA board member Carol Solari-Ruscoe.

Solari-Ruscoe hopes to see municipalities working with vets and funding low-cost spay and neuter days, where citizens can bring in community cats to have them altered at a reasonable price. Ò Lets work together. If we can get towns on board and get vets on board...weÕ re not looking to pass the buck, weÕ re looking to share the load,Ó said Burdo.

of all ages will step back in time, exploring adventures faced by Moses and the Israelites. Each evening starts with a 5:30 meal, followed by opening Celebration involving all in upbeat worship. Next, kids break into their tribes to explore the Israelite Camp, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, visit Moses, etc. Adults will go to bible study time and then rejoin the young people for closing Celebration. Throughout each evening, everyone learns amazing ways to look for evidence of God all around them. Finally, they will all join nearly a million participants reaching out to needy kids through a hands-on mission project called Operation Kid-to-Kid, by raising money to provide clean water in India. Wilderness Escape will run from 5:30 - 7:30 each day and is open to people throughout the community. Come as a family, signup just the kids, or signup just yourself!

Ebola makes its way to the U.S.

W

hen does the possibility of saving one life justify putting hundreds, if not thousands, of others at risk?

In this weekÕ s most disturbing news story, the death toll from the recent outbreak of Ebola in West Africa is climbing steadily toward the 1,000 mark. Doctors and nurses from around the world, including the United States, are flocking to Africa with a myriad of resources to combat the disease. They are willingly putting themselves in harmÕ s way in order to help their fellow man. Their actions are certainly commendable, and they should be supported in any way possibleÉ except one.

Recently, two Americans who trekked to Africa in this wave of humanitarian relief, one doctor and one missionary nurse, were reported to have contracted the nearly incurable disease.

Almost immediately, the United States government and the American medical community undertook a rescue mission in which the two were brought back to the United States to undergo state-of-the-art treatment at a U.S. hospital in Texas.

Why? Ebola is 90 percent fatal and is spread by touching an infected person. It has an almost a 100 percent transmission rate if there is even the slightest accidental skin-to-skin contact.

One thing that is known to keep Ebola from spreading: having an ocean between an infected person and an uninfected continent.

Why would American medical and government officials knowingly put the lives of Americans at risk by bringing two infected people back to America? Is it to show the world how great our medical establishment is? Is it to show that no matter the cost, we never leave an American behind?

Neither of these “reasons” justifies the risk of even one American who did not choose to go into an infected region of the world and risk the consequences.

In Africa, the first thing done when there is an Ebola outbreak is to quarantine the entire hospital where the outbreak occurs. How arrogant are the Americans behind this little adventure to feel that we are above the law, so to speak, and not subject to African quarantine.

Let Africans die, we are saying in essence: Americans are much more valuable and canÕ t be left to the same fate as the rest of the regular people.

And speaking of value, who is paying for the extraordinary and extraordinarily-expensive rescue mission for these two people?

Is the cost being born by the American gov-

ernment, in other words, us?

Is the cost being born by the insurance industry, which in the long run, will filter down to us?

Either way, we were never asked if we wanted our money to go on such a foolÕ s errand, which is ultimately bringing one of the deadliest diseases known to mankind to our shores.

How many supplies and treatment facilities could those millions of dollars spent on specially-equipped jets and the like bought? How many Africans, or other missionaries or health care professionals, could that money have saved? If saving lives was the true goal and not just flexing American muscle on the world stage, then those two Americans would be receiving their treatment, like hundreds of Africans, in Africa where they willingly chose to go.

Speaking of saving lives, how much food would that money have been able to purchase?

Yes, in the past couple weeks, nearly 1,000 people in Africa have died from Ebola. How many have starved to death in that region in those same two weeks? For that matter, how many American children have gone to bed hungry in those two weeks?

Once again, our foreign policy is being pushed by the media and by the catchiest headline. Starving children in AfricaÉ thatÕ s not sexy enough. American doctor contracts EbolaÉ now youÕ ve got something!

And what about the Christian missionary nurse who also contracted Ebola? Would it be too jaded to think that is she were the only American to have contracted the disease, and not a doctor as well, that she would still be in Africa, dying?

Thousands of American missionaries still crisscross the globe, living with and treating poor people in numerous countries around the world. Some, probably many, get sick in these far flung outposts. Some probably even die.

Can anyone remember a million-dollar rescue mission to save one of these missionaries? Yes, itÕ s good to be an American, but itÕ s even better to be an American doctor.

Even while this is being written, a hospital in New York City is treating a patient with Ò Ebolalike symptoms.Ó As with the SARS outbreak in Mainland China and Hong Kong a few years ago, it is probably impossible to keep a disease like Ebola isolated to one continent in the travelfriendly world in which we live now. ThatÕ s no reason though to tempt fate and intentionally bring that disease to American shores.

If this leads to an outbreak here, hopefully those responsible will be called to task. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Choir Camp a Huge Success To the Editor: During the final weekend of July, a delegation of boys and young men from All Saints Church in Dorchester, MA, participated in their second annual choir camp at St. JohnÕ s Episcopal Church in Essex. They practiced diligently each morning and then played just as hard with members of the congregation each afternoon.

The participants of the choir camp are trained musicians ages 11 through 17 who practice twice each week at their home church, learning vocal skills; reading and interpreting choral music and singing in several languages as they prepare music for their Sunday service.

Under the guidance of their talented director and organist, Andrew Sheranian, they may join the choir in elementary school and continue into their adult years. As those who attended church at St. JohnÕ s on July 27 will attest, the beauty and inspiration of their music is heavenly.

The education, training and discipline that guide the choir members is evidenced in their lives as well as in their musical expertise. The boys are delightful, cooperative, polite,and eager. Their enthusiasm was evident as they engaged in many Adirondack activities while visiting, from kayaking, motor boating, sailing, and swimming in Lake Champlain to hiking Coon Mountain, rafting through the AuSable Chasm, exploring the Underground Railroad Museum and enjoying the Sunday evening concert of Meadowmount students.

Each evening, members of St. Johns and the choir members shared an evening meal and Compline service at the home of one of the Essex residents and then retired to the homes, where church members hosted the young musicians.

Anyone interested in more information about this event is invited to contact Carole Harsh at 518-962-8642 or harshck@westelcom.com.

“Us: A Local Swimming Hole” To the Editor: Fifty years ago this summer, in 1964, five local boys, aged 1213, sat on a very large boulder overlooking a section of the Boquet River just outside of Elizabethtown off Route 9N. It was a beautiful summer night nearing dusk. The boys talked about the enjoyment they had swimming and fishing there the past few years and how much it meant to them all.

One of the boys said, Ò LetÕ s give it a name.Ó After five-or-so minutes of deliberation, one of the boys said, Ò How about calling it Ô UsÕ for us and our friends and relatives and all who come to fish and swim here?

It was unanimous. All five boys agreed. It was a simple name, yet included all that would swim there and hopefully enjoy the

swimming hole and its beauty.

The boy that gave Ò UsÓ its name was our good friend and country brother, Henry Kurtenbach. His boyhood friends were Bill Dougan, Paul Mosseau, Alan Mowery and Barry Rauch.

They all remain good friends to this very day. Sadly, Henry passed away several years ago, the cause being cancer.

Many people have swam there over the years, hopefully enjoying it as much as those five boys did 50 years ago! Four of us remain today in our early retirement years and three of us saw each other over EÕ town Day Weekend.

We had attended the wake and funeral of our longtime friend, Mal Hackett. Melancholy and tears set in as we spoke of our town, our friends and relatives who have passed; those we still like and love to see when we are in town.

The good memories of youth, friendship, an enduring kinship and yes, of a place called Ò Us.Ó One of the Five Boys, July 24, 2014

Article appreciated To the Editor: Thank you for the great article regarding the restoration of the broken headstone for the Civil War veteran from Willsboro. As a genealogist, I would like to add the following details: Oakey HALE Smith was the son of Emily Jewitt Rowley, who was the daughter (one of seven daughters) of Daniel Rowley I and his wife (second) Abelena Saxton Barber Rowley. EmilyÕ s only brother was Daniel Rowley II who lived his whole life at Edgewater Farm. Their mother, Abelena, was the daughter of a Revolutionary War Patriot Frederick Saxton who drowned in Lake Champlain in April 1794. Her first husband, Daniel Barber, Jr., and her little son, Frederick Barber, both died in 1801 and she married Daniel Rowley in February of 1807.

This couple was given Edgewater Farm on Willsboro Point and her brother Nehemiah, moved back to the Ò homeÓ place in Shelburne, VT. Emily Jewitt Rowley was born at Edgewater Farm on June 10, 1809 and married Lyman Smith there on March 27, 1834. Lyman Smith was the son of Caleb Smith and Sally Reuback. Some family members say that Lyman died from a broken heart, as his death is recorded in November of 1864, at the age of 56. His wife, Emily, lived until age 87 and died on the 13 of February 1897.

The family has photos of Emily Jewitt Rowley Smith as a sweet-faced elderly lady sitting in her rocking chair on an outdoor porch. Several of us are searching for a portrait, as was usually made by the soldier going off to war, of Oakley Hale Smith.

If anyone in your reading area has an identified photograph of Oakley, we would really appreciate a scan of the image. There are several copies of excerpts of his war diary in existence. It consists mostly of comments on the weather and the excitement of meeting up with other Ô boysÕ from Willsboro.

Oakley was age 23 when he enlisted, as a Ò student,Ó and the records indicate that he was Ò tallÓ for his day: 5Õ 7Ó , fair of hair, eyes and complexion.

Supervisor speaks out To the Editor: On 9 July 2014 the Town Board of Willsboro voted to eliminate one of two Town Justice positions. By doing this it would eliminate one Justice and one Justice Clerk. This action is subject to a public referendum, per New York Town Law. One Willsboro citizen has expressed concern on our process and accused the Town Board of practicing a pattern of secretive or closed government.

I would like to set the record straight as to the background and reasons I, as Town Supervisor, have pursued this action.

In the first place this initiative was not started until after Justice Paye, the incumbent Judge whose term ends at the end of the year, had told us that he was retiring from the bench at the end of his term. Justice Paye is held in the highest regard by the entire community of Willsboro and in Essex County. He has given sixteen years of honorable service as a Willsboro Justice and his experience and learned judgment will be missed.

During the March 2014 Town Board meeting I opened discussion on the possible elimination of the Justice position at the end of Justice PayeÕ s term. I wanted to inform the Town Board and the public, and to get Town Board concurrence to proceed toward that end. I openly discussed this initiative with both Town Justices and each of the Town Board members. I sought proce-

dural guidance from the Town Attorney, the County Attorney, and solicited individual members of the general public.

My reasons primarily are to provide optimum service under increasingly strict fiscal constraints. Costs for the town are increasing, particularly with a looming sixteen percent increase in employee health insurance premiums paid be the town next year. I believe that the town can well afford to operate with one Town Justice.

I have conducted an analysis of the workloads of the by examining the certified work logs provided by each Justice. Currently the Justices alternate weeks of court. Therefore since January of 2014 the Justice and clerk are in court once every two weeks Ð on Thursdays. On court days they spend an average of 4.58 hours conducting court business. This would include prep time, actual court time, and administrative time. Outside of court days, the Justices log an average of 2.58 hours of work per week. Based on this, the Justices log an average of 9.74 hours per pay period. This works out to roughly fifty dollars per hour.

If we assumed that one Justice position were to be eliminated as resolved by the Town Board, then the remaining Justice would conceivably absorb the entire case load and would work 9.74 hours per week. On weeks that the caseload did not require a court day the Justice would likely only have to work 5.15 hours.

Five to ten hours a week is not an unmanageable number of hours to work for a part time position.

How much would the town save by eliminating one Justice?

It would first save by a reduction of actual salaries paid. The remaining Justice and clerk would be picking up more work, but would not be paid double of what they are currently making. I estimate we would save at least nine percent in salaries for Justice and clerk positions. Additionally we would save in other costs associated with having extra employees such are required payments into the State retirement system, social security, workers compensation insurance, payroll taxes etc. Additionally we will save in reduced administrative costs of supporting two complete Justice staffs including training costs, travel and meal reimbursements, supplies, and professional literature, etc.

I am working hard to ensure that our local government services are provided in the most optimal and cost effective manner possible. I am also endeavoring to provide a budget that will not raise taxes and not diminish services. The citizens of Willsboro deserve this, and I believe two Justices are a redundancy no longer needed. If there is a need neighboring towns can cover court requirements in case the Justice is absent, sick, or has a conflict of interest. Shared services are a much more efficient avenue to ensure coverage than having two Justices in one town.

Shaun Gillilland Supervisor, Town of Willsboro

What happened to Open Government?

To the Editor: On July 9, 2014, knowing Town Justice Paye is not running for re-election, the Willsboro Town Board eliminated the second Town Justice effective December 31, 2014 as a cost savings measure. Posting a meeting agenda in advance on their website or scheduling a public hearing to solicit comment on this important resolution, would be good Ò open government.Ó They did not do that. If this is the correct decision for the Town, why not hear public comment first?

We have little say at the Federal and State levels of Government, but I expected more from our Town Board. A public hearing may not change their final decision, but at least “we, the peopleÓ would be able to speak to the issue.

Town Justices are the only elected positions that might personally impact every resident. Residents can be defendants in civil, traffic, or criminal matters. Residents might be the subjects of a wedding performed or be a party to a dog complaint. Then there are the victims, who look to the Town Justice for justice and/or protection.

I am confident that Justice Dickerson is doing an excellent job, but he has only seven months experience and is related to many residents, producing many conflicts of interest. There will be additional compensation for his extra workload. The court nights will undoubtedly be reduced from 4 to 2. How much are they saving and at what cost to taxpayer convenience?

If you want to know what Town Justice Paye thinks about it, call him. He didnÕ t get to express his thoughts to the Town Board because he was not invited to address the Town Board.

Ò Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you.

Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you.Ó

L

ast Wednesday, we continued the exploration of energy, chi, on Free Advice Night with our most recent focus being Ò speaking your truthÓ through an examination of the Throat Chakra, Visuddha.

The Blue Chakra, the voice, is at the center of our personality; our VOICE is the very embodiment of who we are. As we enjoy sharing our discussions with our readers; this week we have written a quick Ò self studyÓ guide!

Moving from our “root” (the first chakra) of survival strategies, through very action oriented chakras, the throat chakra moves our attention to the more subtle, spiritual vibrations that bring deep meaning to our lives. A balanced throat chakra encourages intentional thought, providing time for stillness and clarification.

Some questions to consider when personally exploring the throat/voice/blue chakra are: • Do you easily, regularly speak what you consider “your truth?Ó • Are you a good listener?

• Can you express your thoughts succinctly so that other people understand what you mean to convey?

• Are you creative? (art, writing, coming up with innovative solutions, etc.)

• Do you feel most at ease when speaking your truth, even if it goes in the face of popular convention?

• Can you speak of your needs?

If your Ô yesÕ answers far outnumber your Ô noÕ answers, your Throat Chakra is healthy and in balance which is the foundation of self-expression. Voice is an aspect of personality that improves with awareness and attentiveness.

True communication involves two inextricable parts; giving and receiving. It can take a variety of forms; speaking and listening, verbal and non-verbal cues, and very often saying too little or saying too much. As with any form of balance, internal and external forces contribute equally. We should always check in with ourselves and adjust our thoughts and actions to improve communication.

In Buddhist philosophy, blue is the color of pure mind - the

mind that is uncluttered by thought. In stillness, you can process and clarify your emotions before you speak.

Our true voice arises from an understanding of who we are and what we feel.

Our best voice comes from CLARITY of emotionÉ the CHOICE of how we will express itÉ to VOICE, saying our truth with care, poise and purpose.

When seeking CLARITY of your emotions; compare, reflect and settle on what your feelings truly are before you speak.

The blue energy of a balanced throat chakra reflects the element waterÉ .pure, soothing, cleansing, and healing as in the rain, tears, or a babbling brook. It can also be powerful, brooding, and overwhelming, as are waterfalls, heavy rainstorms or a tumultuous ocean.

CHOICE, is HOW you decide to speak of your feelings or communicate your emotion. When it is clear with you, it will be VOICED more accurately with both meaning and intention.

Do you ever feel that you are surrounded by noise without meaning? Is chitchat your primary form of interaction with others? Do you long for real conversation?

You have the power of CHOICE to change conversation from superficial to meaningful. We offer a few suggestions and techniques: • Set a tone of listening/speaking; relax and be present • Put aside prejudices, fears and inadequacies • Exercise empathy • Focus and re-focus • Know your distractions and put them aside • Look and listen, what is the listener’s mouth, face and body saying • Be authentic; respond genuinely to where the listener takes you • Speak truthfully; “think about it” before you respond Positive communication has a look and a sound all itÕ s own.

Knowing your inner truth; being guided by your sense of what is correct, allows for the expression of effective, honest, and sincere communication. This approach leads to your ability to express in full integrity to what you truly think and feel.

Negative communication pollutes the throat chakra; it violates both our bodies and spirits. Unexpressed emotions constrict this energy center and frustration and disconnection result. When we lose our voice we often repress our anger or displeasure.

By ignoring our feelings we can easily isolate ourselves from others. This can happen over timeÉ whenever we want to say something but stop ourselves out of embarrassment or fear of anotherÕ s reaction, we lose our voice. Every time we speak without thought, we lose our kindness. Every time we are evasive or slightly untruthful, we lose our integrity.

People with strong blue energy hold their body upright and straight. Let blue energy guide your VOICEÉ .stand tall, listen care-

August 9, 2014

fully, speak truth! The rewards of balancing this powerful energy center are more powerful communication, enhanced creativity, and an ease and flow to life. Be Sociable, Listen, and Share with Intention!

My throat is clear and open, my voice utters truthful words.

Freedom Trail From page 1

first vice president for the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association (NCUGRHA) and tour guide for the bus tours. Ò ItÕ s not a very extensive tour, but it gets the story out of how strong this area was and how they helped people to seek the freedom that they deserved.Ó The tour will include a visit to the museum following the tour of different slavery sites in Keeseville and Peru. Ô FREEDOM TRAILÕ The Champlain line of the Underground Railroad encompassed the upper Hudson River, the Champlain Canal and Lake Champlain.

Runaway slaves who reached these water ways took steamboats, barges and canal boats as part of their northward journey.

Stagecoach and railroad lines from New York City and New England provided land routes into the region.

ItÕ s unknown the exact way they went from Albany to Peru. The freedom seekers may have followed the Great State Road from the Southern Adirondacks to Clinton County. They might have also taken Lake Champlain steamers and disembarked at Port Kent and then proceeded in land to Keeseville and Peru.

However, one thing remains fact, which is that one Clinton County route to Canada, which fugitive slaves followed, took them through the villages of Keeseville, Peru and Champlain, containing important sights that will be covered during the bus tour. Ô KEESEVILLE CHURCHESÕ “Most churches had conflict between members over the antislavery issue,Ó Richardson said. Ò Some churches forbid slave owners from taking communion or speaking from the pulpit.Ó One of the first places the tour visits is the Methodist church, where the tour will talk about the church, Reverend Bates, a very outspoken abolitionist, and their discussions on political issues such as slavery.

Next, the tour will head to the Masonic Lodge, which used to be the Congregational church that was built in 1850. Members of this church signed documents in order to start the Clinton County Anti-Slavery Society, including a well-known abolitionist Asahel Arthur, who lived behind the church. Ò Oral history has stated that in the home behind the church, a couple of school boys found a hatch in the floor in one of the rooms,Ó Richardson said. Ò There was a tunnel, and that tunnel came from the church over to that home.Ó The last church they visit is the old Baptist church, a church that is now an apartment but used to be a place where many antislavery meetings were held. This church is also located in front of the oldest burial ground where a black child and a former slave are buried. Ô MANY CEMETERIESÕ Ò ItÕ s called the old burial ground,Ó she said. Ò They used to nickname it the Ô Nigger Cemetery.Õ Ó This burial ground, located behind the old Baptist church, remains unreachable because of a lack of upkeep and a lot of poison ivy. Even though the cemetery canÕ t be entered, a list of the names of all the people in the cemetery are known and listed.

Another cemetery the tour visits is the Evergreen Cemetery, a new addition to the tour this year, which is where Wendell Lansing, an abolitionist, and his great granddaughter, Marjorie Lansing Porter, the Arthur family and some of the descendants

of the Keese family that Keeseville is named after were buried.

The last cemetery of the tour is situated in Peru called the Quaker cemetery on Union Road, the burial ground of Catherine Keese, wife of Samuel Keese, who was the head of the Underground Railroad Depot in Peru. Ò She was always described as a very kind and sincere woman in helping those who were seeking freedom,Ó Richardson said.

The Quaker cemetery lies on the right hand side of the road with the two Quaker meeting houses on the left. Northern Orchard was the home of Samuel and Catherine Keese. Further down the road is the Stephen Keese Smith home and barn, one of Clinton CountyÕ s best documented Underground Railroad sites. Ô OWNING SLAVESÕ Before SmithÕ s barn became a place of hope for slaves, it was a place of imprisonment, a homestead by slave owner, John Haff.

During this time, Haff owned a 20-year-old slave, who was only referred to as the Ò NegroÓ boy. The boy ran away to Essex, hoping he could get away from Haff. When he got there, the people wouldnÕ t ferry him across the lake to Charlotte, VA, because they knew he was a runaway. Instead, they detained him until Haff came.

Haff arrived by horse back, put a rope around the boyÕ s wrists and made him walk back to the barn. If the boy lagged, he would be whipped.

Haff deeded a portion of his property to his son, Abram, who became an abolitionist, Methodist minister and a member of the Executive Committee of the Clinton County Anti-Slavery Society. In 1852, he sold the farm to Smith. Ô FREEING SLAVESÕ Smith first became acquainted with the Underground Railroad 20 or so years ago before the civil war. During this time, Samuel Keese was the head of the depot in Peru, and his son, John Keese, Smith and Lansing were actors.

Smith had large buildings, but he concealed the slaves in a stone-walled room in the lower level of his barn. He kept them, fed them and gave them shoes and clothing. All who came through the woods going from Albany to Troy to Glens Falls and then Peru nearly famished.

Smith and the rest of the group kept them from one to two days and then ran them along to Noadiah MooreÕ s in Champlain where he would go with the runaway slaves to Canada and looked for places for them to work.

SmithÕ s barn, which is now owned by Frank Perusse, still stands today but is undergoing restoration. The restoration of this barn will be made possible with donations, grants and other projects such as the bus tours as designated by the Underground Railroad Board. Ò The vision is to restore the barn so that it could be an outdoor museum for this purpose,Ó Richardson said. Ò It needs a lot of work.Ó

0% for 60 months plus $1500 implement Bonus

Ô THE MUSEUMÕ Ò The museum is the celebration of the persistence and the patience that many people endeavored for months and years in order to seek freedom,Ó Richardson said. Ò Rather than look at it on the side of slavery and being owned as property, we like to look at it as a celebration that people obtained the freedom they sought.Ó The museum reveals hidden history of the Champlain Line of the Underground Railroad. The museum, and its Heritage Center, are managed by NCUGRHA. Ò The history here is absolutely amazing,Ó Richardson said. Ò You can read it in a book, and you can read it online, but to actually go and see these places and to hear the stories is just exceptional.Ó Besides the upcoming tour Aug. 16, the museum hosts tours every other Saturday. If anyone would like to learn more about the tours or make a reservation, call 518-834-5180 or visitnorthcountryundergroundrailroad.com.

Camp Tapawingo opens for city youth First annual event for P’burgh Housing Authority

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com POINT AU ROCHE Ñ Camp is in session at the little used Camp Tapawingo in Point au Roche.

Children from the Plattsburgh Housing Authority are taking over the Girl Scout camp for the next two weeks, in the first annual event to utilize the once popular camp. Ò ItÕ s a great facility. ThereÕ s a big space to play, an area for eating, and it is already set up, which is great,Ó said Plattsburgh Housing Authority Director Mark Hamilton.

Opening day of camp was slightly downbeat as the weather took a while to decide if it would cooperate, and campers had to sit through first day of camp lectures, but before long they were off to explore all Topawingo had to offer.

Hamilton, together with Ted K. Center Director Tom Neale and others have been working for about a year to make the camp experience a reality for about three dozen children from the City of Plattsburgh over the two week span.

Sponsored in part by Cornell Cooperative

Extension, the camp will be educational as well as physically enriching. Featuring numerous outdoor activities, the camp will be an opportunity for the children, some of whom rarely leave the confines of the city, to experience the nature that is just a stoneÕ s throw away.

The original idea for the camp came when the Housing Authority was working with Cardinal PR on a new branding campaign for the Ted K. Center. Ò Colleen Lemza from SUNY had the original idea,Ó said Hamilton. Ò SheÕ s on the Topawingo board and she suggested we look into utilizing the camp.Ó Working with the Foundation at CVPH, the Plattsburgh City School District, Clinton County Health Department and the United Way, Hamilton and Neale have been clearing various hurdles until all the pieces came together recently. Hamilton plans not only on having summer camp be a sustainable yearly tradition, but would like eventually to expand to include housing authorities from other municipalities in the North Country. Ò ItÕ s a different setting for the kids. Next year we hope to add swimming as well,Ó said Neale. Ò ItÕ s a wonderful opportunity to get out and experience a little bit of nature.Ó

Children from the City of Plattsburgh get their marching orders at Camp Tapawingo on Point au Roche this past week.

Astorino

From page 1 campaign. Ò Well its the worst thing to happen to New York, because the corruption continues,Ó he said.

After answering questions and pressing the flesh for a short time with several people in the small crowd, Astorino rushed off nearly as quickly as he had arrived, headed back to his campaign base in Westchester County.

Despite CuomoÕ s sagging favorability ratings Ñ a Wall Street Journal/NBC 4 New York/Marist College poll released on Wednesday showed a drop of 5 percent, down to a new low of 53 percent Ñ Astorino remains a general unknown in the North Country.

According to the poll, Cuomo leads Astorino 54 percent to 23 percent.

Larry Schwartz, Cuomo’s top aide who was profiled in the bombshell New York Times report that reignited the story last month, has agreed to meet with federal prosecutors this month as part of an ongoing investigation.
