Participants at the Polar Plunge braved the waters of Lake Champlain to raise money for the Special Olympics.

PLATTSBURGH — Matt Thomson stood in the sand at the Plattsburgh City Beach wearing only shorts, a lit torch in hand.

The frigid air turned his skin red and he knew the water was even colder, but he was going in, and would even be among the first to take a dip as the torch bearer for the Polar Plunge. The event was held to raise money for the Special Olympics, and Thomson is an athlete.

“I like being the torch bearer,” he said.

And when the crowd took off, Thomson ran with them, some screaming, a few diving in the 52-degree water, others conducting a hurried loop and racing desperately back toward the beach.

As of the morning of the event, the more than 200 signed up had raised more than $23,500 for

Taste of Home comes to Plattsburgh

By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — More than 900 people flocked to the Crete Center for a little Taste of Home Nov. 3.

The event, which was sponsored by Denton Publications, consisted of 49 vendors offering samples of their products and selling their wares.

There was something for everyone, from a chocolate fountain made for dipping to home furnishings crafted from items previously tossed aside.

But amid all the commotion, the delectable samples, the cookbooks and jewelry and crafts, there was a steady murmer of anticipation for the main attraction—Culinary Specialist Michael Barna, a man who happens to be a bit of a celebrity.

He is the same Michael Barna whose hands doubled for Mel Gibson’s in the movie Signs and has helped open three gourmet casino restaurants in Atlantic City.

Barna also holds a degree from the Culinary Institute of America and has worked for four and five star restaurants.

The man loves to entertain, and he really loves to cook.

So now he combines the two by traveling the northeast for Taste of Home, a cooking magazine comprised of recipes sent in from its readers.

“We get 40,000 recipes sent to us annually,” Barna said. “We bring it down to 1,000 recipes out of that, and we take all of them and test them three times in our three test kitchens at Taste of Home.”

Even though the magazine’s chefs don’t change recipes, they do tweak them from time to time.

“The number one reason I’m doing this show is for everyone in that audience to come in and have a great time,” Barna said.

And if energy is any indication, attendees were ecstatic to be there.

Michael Barna cooked for a crowd of more than 900 people at the Crete Center Nov. 3.

Barna took the stage to an energized crowd chanting “Michael! Michael!” and cooked with enthusiasm throughout, often pausing to engage audience members and crack jokes.

The show’s eight national sponsors each submitted a recipe, and two were picked from reader submissions.

“The performance aspect is huge,” Barna said. “I’m not teaching them how to dice a

piece of celery, that’s not what I’m here for.

I’m not teaching them how to cook, I’m teaching them these ten recipes and how to do them with tons of tips and tricks.”

Barna prepared the ten recipes for the crowd, including veggie lasagna, sausage stuffed mushrooms and upside-down apple pie.

In between recipes, Barna also raffled off more than 70 items.

Other prizes included a Chazy Orchard gift basket, cookbooks, a coffee maker and jewelry.

the relief fund, which is still helping those affected by Irene in 2011 Ide said.

Could New Yorkers unite in an outward show of solidarity to help everyone still suffering from Sandy? New York sustained about 35 percent of the total insured losses in Hurricane Sandy’s path, according to Curt Heintzelman, senior account executive of EQECAT, a company that connects insurance and the financial services of its clients.

About 35 percent of the total insured losses for Sandy are expected to come from New York, with early damage reports indicating significant coastal flooding. Of the total losses for Sandy, about 85 percent of the losses are from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Disaster-modeling firm EQECAT Inc. said the insurance industry is likely to pay out $10 billion to $20 billion, while it said the total cost of the storm would be between $30 billion and $50 billion.

Ide said most of the boom of financial support came in the months following Irene.

Though Sandy has dissolved off the coast, New Yorkers can show an outward wave of support either by passing legislation to allow New York drivers to have a plate put on the front of their cars for two years or find another way to outwardly keep the momentum going to support our neighbors.

Just as Vermonters declared “I am Vermont Strong” with the sale of shirts, posters, license plates and other products, this could be a time for New York to find a similar way to not only help neighbors have a dry and safe home for the winter but to also show other states that New Yorkers are Empire State strong.

North Countryman Editorial

n the aftermath of Tropical Strom Irene, the region came together to help neighbors and family rise from the waters and build again.

With Hurricane Sandy looming, the North Country prepared for a storm.

People purchased generators, batteries, stored safe drinking water and waited.

Most awoke to electricity and a clear path to work or school in the morning, but on the same morning New Yorkers to the south were trapped, unable to use the public transportation they rely on.

Traffic signals in Times Square were out and many lost their lives in the storm’s path.

By sending generators and able-bodied volunteers to the area, people began to show support in any way possible.

Local counties were prepared with emergency services on standby all night. Essex County was shut down and administrators were ready to call off school.

The members of the community learned a lot from Irene. In the aftermath of Irene we developed long term recovery agencies and organizations like Project Hope traveled throughout the area knocking on doors to help those in need.

In Vermont, the Disaster Relief Fund partnered with the “I am Vermont Strong” organization to create license plates that not only raised more than $600,000 for the victims of Tropical Storm Irene but also projected an outward bond amongst Vermonters.

“It showed solidarity throughout the state to see people with the plates on the front of their cars,” said Betsy Ide, executive director of the disaster relief fund.

Ide said that not everyone put the plates on their cars, but instead hung them on their walls to keep as a souvenir.

“People from out of state who couldn’t put the plates on their cars still bought them to show their support for other Vermonters,” Ide said. “That says a lot.”

The plates sell for $25 each, with $18 going to the relief fund, $2 going to the state food bank and $5 for production of the plates. The organization has sold 30,000 plates and generated $600,000 for

November 10, 2012

It’s time to get back to work

O

ur production deadlines have me drafting this column prior to the outcome of the 2012 elections. Regardless of how the races turn out, the promises made, the twisting of the facts, the compelling arguments, the money spent and how you chose to vote, one thing is for sure it’s clear we’ve got much to do in the way of the people’s business and no time to waste rolling up our sleeves getting down to work.

Top on the list, regardless of the outcome of the Presidential election, it appears that 163 million American workers can expect a big increase in the taxes taken out of their paychecks come January. The temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes is due to expire at the end of 2012. Neither the Obama nor the Romney camps proposed an extension, both steering clear of any blame for increased taxes come 2013. Neither party feels the payroll tax holiday, put in place two years ago that was intended to be a temporary shot in the arm for the economy, has done much to stimulate the sluggish economy.

Providing cover for the Social Security reduction is the bigger question surrounding the future of the Bush-Era tax cuts which also expire at the end of 2012. Couple that with the pending sequestration due to take effect in 2013 and it’s clear that the government can no longer sugar coat the medicine. We must face and accept the reality of our financial crisis very soon. At the end of the day it’s time to suck it up and deal with these issues. On the fairy tale campaign trail politicians can always find creative ways to avoid answering the tough issues, and twist the truth as to who to blame, but once the election dust settles those left standing really should have no choice but to address these issues.

The retiring Social Security Payroll Holiday will affect every American worker at the rate of 2 percent of their wages while having the same impact on their employer. Congress has generously reimbursed Social Security for the lost revenue estimated to be over $215 billion the past two years. Of course, we all know that the country hasn’t had a budget for the last three years so that generous reimbursement has essentially been going on our credit card, increasing the country’s debt crisis.

The debt crisis leads us to the sequestration.

Since Congress was unable to work out any

form of compromise when the nation reached its most recent and yet another debt ceiling, sequestration was proposed by the Dan Alexander Obama negotiating Thoughts from team in an effort to Behind the Pressline force Republican Congressional members into accepting tax increases or face deep cuts to our military. The Republicans called the bet put in place by the Democrats nearly certain they would not allow deep cuts to social programs no more than they would allow the cuts to the military programs. Sadly when both sides play the game of chicken knowing neither wants the alternative but neither side wants to be the first to blink, well everyone ends up losing. The sequestration legislation forces massive cuts on both the military and non-defense spending programs. The inability of our government to come to an agreement that could be used by either side during the elections as caving in on their core principles will instead produce painful cuts to programs both parties strongly support. It’s no way to run a household, a business nor a government.

It’s plain stupidity and we’ve no time or stomach for any more childish behavior.

How the devastating affects of Super Storm Sandy will effect all this is yet another straw on the back of an already heavily strained economy and a government in denial of its impending doom. But with the election season now behind us we can only hope the form of cover Congress put in place as opposed to dealing with these critical issues can now be addressed by responsible parties who have committed to resolving the financial and employment problems that have plagued our nation for the past decade.

Let’s hope we’ve elected the right individuals who are up to the task of working across party lines and are willing to put the nation’s interests ahead of political gamesmanship. As a nation we are out of time, out of blame and out of money. We need solutions not tricks and gimmicks. The cliff is getting closer and the foolishness must stop.

North Countryman - 5

Will all the grim predictions really come true?

A

s you read this, will all my friends still like me?

Will some members of my family have disowned me?

Will I be pouting in my room, refusing to come out?

Will I be parading in the streets, sticking my tongue out at people?

Will I have accepted defeat gracefully?

Will I quietly and humbly celebrate victory?

Will you and your friends and families and co-workers still get along, or will hard feelings be the downfall of everyone?

This election has brought out nastiness like I’ve never seen before.

Granted, I am only 38, but still, I’ve never seen so many people, so mad and so defensive and so on edge. Many people were that way well before the election, but as election day neared — WOW. And now, as I write this, it is time to vote tomorrow. When this is read, it will all be done, and part of me keeps picturing smoke and rubble in the aftermath, with

half the country angered and defeated and the other half hoping their new president saves them.

The majority of the people I talk to say that is what they are expecting, and that is partly why they’ve been so darn mad — because one man will mess everything up and the other is waiting for Tuesday to pass to tear open his shirt and reveal his superhero costume and fly around the country and fix and save everyone and everything.

The country has been damaged for some time and people need a miracle.

Of course, that is not going to happen, but that is what seemed at stake here as friends and family members traded hurtful words and sometimes fists over who should be the next president.

I heard people claim Romney was going to put women back in aprons and take away their rights and that Obama wanted to get the government’s hands into everything and get us all dumb and on welfare so he could create a Muslim state.

Stephen Bartlett

From the Editor’s Desk Really?!

And now, as I write this, I wonder: Who will be the president?

Will all the grim predictions come true? Will it be dark and horrible and oppressive and hell on earth?

I hope not, and I highly doubt it, but doesn’t it sort of have to be?

I mean, if all the things we were so frightened and angry about,

these things we felt so driven by, don’t come true, then maybe we yelled at grandma and called her an idiot for nothing. Maybe we looked down at our co-workers for nothing. Maybe we bought into the hype and insulted our neighbors, and shared and posted some intensely graphic and evil and mean-spirited, but apparently prophetic, things on Facebook for nothing.

Some might say, “C’mon, Facebook, whatever.” Well, life is happening and has been happening on Facebook for some time now and with the same results: Love, hate, anger, laughter, tears, joy, abuse.

Yes, some idiotic things were said by lawmakers and we were right to call them on it, but are we really never going to talk to our friend we made shortly after birth because they support the individual we decided was a manifestation of pure evil. So basically, what we are saying is there are some of us, even many of us, who thought Romney or Obama was akin to Jeffrey Dahmer.

Many of us definitely lost our sense of humor this election, unless it was us picking on the candidate we opposed.

And oh my, did so many of us ever become so oblivious to obvious wrongs committed by our candidate.

Obama could punch a baby and a Democrat would say, “Well, did you hear how loud that baby was crying,” or, “I really think he slipped,” even as Obama did a dance and kissed his fist.

And that goes both ways.

So now I wonder, when I read this in print, will the anger still be there, or will we become humble and apologize and forgive and forget, and not just because we won.

I’m already examining where I might need to offer an apology and figure out how to prevent such behavior in the future.

Unless, of course, the world ends, and then I guess grandma really was an idiot.

Our life coaches, Style and Substance: Where are you going in life?

Dear style & substance readers: Do you ever really look in the mirror and wonder who you are, how you got to this point in life, and where you are going?

It sounds crazy, but lately I have been questioning everything in my life. I do have a pretty good job and a fairly sound relationship, but seem to ponder this question a lot. I am wondering if others think about this too.

We think that what you are getting at is the question, “what drives my life?”, “what is my purpose?” or as one husband would say, “where am I going with this?” We also think that delving into these questions can energize, simplify, focus and give new meaning to your life. So it is worth exploring!

Anybody with an ounce of awareness thinks these thoughts. Wondering about our place in the world drives everything we do and shapes who we are, who we love, and even the work we do. Thoughtful people are constantly changing and adapting to the world as we read, learn, and expand our horizons. Questioning is a sign of a keen intellect – this positive stress (eustress) can help motivate you to reflect on your life and can also give you the edge you need to make changes to guide your life in a new direction.

Transitions can often cause these existential questions to consume our waking and sleeping hours. A transition can be hitting a milestone birthday, a child growing up and/or leaving home, a career or relationship change, births, deaths and our body’s natural responses to aging. Instead of thinking that “something is wrong”, use this time as an opportunity to reflect on your life, to begin to respond to a more positive question, “where am I headed with my life

and how does it reflect what I believe in?”. Questioning is not the same as discounting your life up to that specific point in time; rather it is a time to embrace change and take some “calculated risks.” Pondering life’s big questions can be immobilizing if you allow yourself to dwell in the negative – be realistic in your assessment of your self – your strengths and areas you would like to improve. Real growth and maturity only come from a frank and honest reflection on your life and a commitment to live with purpose. Purpose does not have to be a big idea, living a life of purpose can mean something as simple as being honest in all things, caring for animals, or practicing a faith or religion.

We have come up with two ways of beginning this quest; Firstly, if a negatively driven life is based on guilt, resentment, fear, need for approval or materialism; then it is easy to see what a positively driven life might feel and look like. It is by tending to these aspects of our life, the barriers to the positive, that we might find the answer.

Where do you have unresolved concerns? What are your fears and are they based on reality? How do your actions change by what other ’s think? Answering these questions, puts closure on the past and sets us free to resolve the unresolved or to move on. The positively driven life is led by someone who has forgiven, resolved, reconciled and is not bogged down by guilt. They have tied up loose ends, kept promises, and not made excuses.

And secondly, another good step is to think about a time when you took a risk and it paid off in more happiness or success. What was happening in your life that gave you the courage to try? Was it a relationship? Did you meet somebody that inspired you or needed you to inspire

He has a quiet temperament and is a real gentleman when being walked on a leash. However, don't let his suave manners fool you - he has a puppy-ish sense of humor when he is playing with other dogs, and can be quite the comedian when romping around with his best buddy, Baxter.

Barbershoppers bring back memories

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — As the music fills listeners’ ears, they’ll be transported back to their first love, first dance and first date.

They’ll stroll down memory lane to classic songs by artists singing to preserve the music.

“It is one of our most ambitious shows,” said Tom Maglienti, a member of the Cumberland Bay Barbershoppers.

The group is presenting its 53rd annual show, “Memories are Made of This,” at Giltz Auditorium at Plattsburgh State. The show starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10.

Artists featured at the show include Frank Sinatra, Bobby Vinton, Barry Manilow, the Platters, the 4 Freshman, the 5 Satins, the Beatles, Beach Boys, Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash.

“I grew up with all these songs, so singing them now is no problem and brings back floods of memories,” said newest member Chris Miller.

The featured guest is Downtown Crossing, a quartet dedicated to bringing fun and energy to barbershop music. The youthful group was introduced to the music by their grandfathers and in 2010 became the Northeastern District quartet champions.

They will be joined by Minor Adjustment, a Plattsburgh State a cappella mixed group, and the Champlain Valley Sweet Adelines.

Barbershop vocal harmony is a style of a cappella characterized by consonant fourpart chords for every melody note in a predominantly homophonic texture.

“When you get four voices that blend together, all singing different parts, you ring that chord,” said Maglienti. “The sound of the ringing chord brings me right in.”

He has belonged to the Cumberland Bay Barbershoppers for seven years, but has been singing since school, previously be-

longing to folk groups and the glee club.

Mike Deeb’s father was a founding member. He was simply looking for a night out to himself when he joined 25 years ago.

“I really never thought I was a musician, but I have learned how to sing,” Deeb said.

He explained that the Cumberland Bay Barbershoppers belongs to the Barbershop Harmony Society.

“We have members who have been with us for 50 years and some who have only been here for five months,” Deeb said.

Robert Brooks joined the chorus in 1962.

“I have made many friends through barbershopping,” Brooks said. “We are all family and would do anything for each other.”

The Cumberland Bay Barbershoppers will dedicate the Nov. 10 show finale to veterans

in honor of Veteran’s Day weekend.

“It is a very enjoyable activity,” said Dave Hurd, another member of the Cumberland Bay Barbershoppers. “When you are singing it is only the song, and your troubles go away.”

Tickets are available online at www.cumberlandbay.org, from any barbershopper, by calling 561-0545, or at the door.

Polar Plunge from page 1 the third annual Plattsburgh Polar Plunge for Special Olympics New York.

“The impact their efforts will have on Special Olympics athletes will last a lifetime,” said Erin McCartan, Development Specialist for Special Olympics New York.

Last year ’s event raised more than $42,000, with roughly 350 people sprinting into chilly Lake Champlain as friends, family and Torch Bearer Matt Thomson and his father, Mark, after the Polar Plunge. supporters watched from the shore.

Sponsors of the event included Ambit Energy, Eagle 97.5, FOP Lodge 999, Olive Ridley’s, Plattsburgh Distributing, Taylor Rental & Party Plus of Plattsburgh and Saranac Lake, Pepsi Beverages Company, Dunkin Donuts, KFC and A&W. A team of Ambit Energy consultants were the top income earners, raising more than $7,000. The team raised more than $9,700 the year before.

Team Captain Pam Ryan helped form a team and started participating three years ago.

She had an aunt with Down Syndrome who died at age 13 and said she feels blessed to be part of the event.

Ambit team member Tricia McCartney has taught special education for 29 years and supports the Special Olympics.

“It is amazing to see the smiles on the athletes’ faces.”

Special Olympics is the largest amateur sports organization in the world. With 51,809 athletes, Special Olympics New York is the largest chapter in North America and the sixth largest chapter in the world.

Special Olympics New York athletes train and compete year-roud in 22 sports, the Young Athletes Program and the Motor Activities Training Program, at no cost to athletes, their families or caregivers.

“We raise $1 million for athletes,” McCartan said. “This is probably the most rewarding job I could have asked for.”

Prior to the plunge, those gathered danced and worked out to Zumba, enjoying food and refreshments and participating in a costume contest.

Divers and paramedics stood by as participants raced into the water at noon, making their way back to the beach, red and shivering.

“We raised close to $2,000,” said Mark Thomson, whose son Matt was the torch bearer.

Matt plays basketball for the Special Olympics.

“I went to the state games,” he said. “It was fun.”

The Ambit Energy Team raised more than $7,000 for the Special Olympics.

Hudson Headwaters from page 1 Hudson Headwaters.

More than two years ago, Racine met Rugge and discussed his desire to ensure the future of primary care upon his retirement. He and Rugge discussed the long-term future of Racine’s Medical practice in Champlain.

Hudson Headwaters was awarded $481,667 from the Department of Health and Human Services to help with the purchase of Racine’s practice.

RFacine and his staff are now employees of Hudson Headwaters.

Rugge said patients of Racine’s practice will see continuity of care and additional benefits.

“The federal community health center program is designed to provide access to care regardless of a person’s income or insurance,” Rugge said. “We offer programs that provide discounted medical fees and pharmaceuticals for low-income patients. This year, we’ll help eligible patients receive $1.5 million worth of needed medicine.”

There are plans to hire a second physician and expand the facility to North Country residents with primary and dental care and behavioral health services.

The nonprofit organization will convert the practice into a community clinic and make some minor renovations.

A larger, replacement clinic could be constructed in the future.

Hudson Headwaters will offer a sliding fee for patients, with visits as low as $12, depending on income.

Rugge said more information about Hudson Headwaters is being mailed to Racine’s list of current patients.

“My staff and I are extremely pleased to be part of Hudson Headwaters,” Racine said.

Racine started the practice more than 30 years ago.

“Hudson Headwaters has an excellent record for providing rural primary health care,” Racine said. “I am confident that the people of our area, including Chazy, Mooers and Rouses Point, will benefit from having Hudson Headwaters be a part of our communities.”

Cold weather heats up the Big Game Hunting Season

T

he landscape has begun to take on a decidedly winter-like cast, as a fresh covering of snow recently secured a white cap atop most of the peaks in the upper elevations.

Snow cover is a most welcome occurrence for big game hunters, as it serves to record the tracks, traffic and behavior patterns of numerous animals, especially whitetail deer.

Last week’s rain and high winds served to denude the hardwoods as it opened up the woods. The lingering leaf cover will likely fall soon, as cooler temperatures and additional snowfall combine to knock foliage to the ground.

The fresh snow cover is most welcome, as it records travel patterns and offers a contrasting background to highlight the natural brown camouflage of a whitetail.

As usual, heavy frosts will produce noisy ground cover and leaves will crunch loudly whether under boots, or hooves.

The annual rut appears to be in full swing, and scrapes and buck rubs are springing up nearly everywhere. Over the next two weeks, bucks will be chasing does as the look for love in all the wrong places. It is the peak of the season for deer hunters. DEC records indicate the majority of antlered deer are typically harvested during the timeframe of the first two weeks of November.

To date, I’ve also been getting reports from a lot of local hunters about a number of unexpected camp pests they’ve been encountering already this season.

Finding a mouse in the house, or a few at hunting camp is not unusual occurrence. It is to be expected especially during this time of year when mice populations are booming all over the North Country. Traditionally, such an explosion would not be cause for alarm, especially since colder weather drives the critters to seek shelter indoors.

However, mice are no longer to be considered just an annoying little nuisance. Typically they pilfer crackers or crumbs from under the picnic table, or chew up a few napkins to make a next. However, it turns out mice can actually

be deadly!

Recently, DEC confirmed a hiker’s claim that he contracted the Hantavirus as a result of a mouse bite. Reportedly, he was bitten on the finger while camping during the summer months. The leanto where the incident occurred is located in the High Peaks Mice are vectors for the transmission of Hantavirus, which was responsible for a number of fatalities in the Four Corners region of the Southwest. Center for Disease Control officials believe mouse urine, saliva and feces can spread the virus. It can be contracted through contact or simply by breathing the dust.

Deer mice are to be found all across the country, primarily in the woodlands. So it should come as no surprise that residents of rural areas account for over three quarters the infections nationwide.

Compounding the danger of the outdoors is the ever increasing threat of Lyme disease. There appears to be an unusually high incidence of deer ticks this season. I’ve already had to pluck a few ticks off myself.

Numerous hunters have complained about the problem, which appears to be much worse in the Champlain Valley than in the Tri Lakes region.

The apparent increase in tick populations has been attributed to the increasingly warmer weather, and the popularity of taking the family along on vacation.

Autumn is considered high season for adult deer ticks, since it is the season when nymphs begin to morph into adult ticks. Typically they require blood prior to the beginning of cold weather dormancy.

However, ticks do not hibernate and they are active as long as temperatures remain above freezing. There is a public misconception that they disappear in cool weather, but ticks are active when the weather stays above freezing. Adult ticks can emerge on warm days in autumn, winter or spring and can attach themselves to clothing or to fur at any time. Although the nymphs are believed to be responsible for a majority of Lyme disease cases, infected adult ticks can also pass on the disease.

However, ticks and mice aren’t the only pests hunters have had to deal with this season. Prior to the recent cold snap, it was not uncommon to battle swarms of mosquitoes while enjoying an afternoon watch. Of course, mosquitoes are known to carry the West Nile virus. It’s difficult to remain still and

quiet while on watch when there are mosquitoes orbiting your head.

Be careful out there

With the peak of the whitetail deer breeding season set to occur over the next few weeks, it is an especially important time to keep an eye on the road.

According to claims data prepared by State Farm Auto Insurance, there are an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 deer-vehicle collisions that occur throughout New York State this year. Most of the accidents will occur between October and December. Deer are most active during the early evening hours, and with darkness now arriving before the afternoon commute, it is especially important to pay attention.

Although the number of miles driven by U.S. motorists over the past five years has increased by just 2 percent, the number of deer-vehicle collisions has grown by over 20 percent during that same timeframe.

While Adirondackers commonly joke about hitting a deer, jump-starting a truck or learning how run a chain saw before reaching puberty, in reality it is no joking matter.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, deer-vehicle collisions in the U.S. cause about 200 fatalities each year. The average damage to a car or truck is $3,103.

If you observe a deer crossing the road, slow down. Deer tend to travel in groups., so pay heed to deer crossing signs.

Signs are posted for good reason, typically along historic deer funnels.

PORT HENRY — The sacrifices of American service men and women are painfully obvious in the town of Moriah this Veterans Day weekend.

Staff Sgt. Dain Venne, age 29, of Port Henry was killed along with Specialist Brett E. Gornewicz from Alden and Specialist Ryan P. Jayne from Campbell in Paktiya Province, Afghanistan, on Nov. 3, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.

The men were assigned to the 444th Engineer Company, which is headquartered in Oswego. The unit is an element of the 178th Engineer Battalion of the 412th Theater Engineer Command.

Lt. Col. Doril Sanders of the 412th TEC said the men were combat engineers conducting “route-clearing” duties for a convoy when an improvised explosive device blasted their vehicle.

Venne had completed an earlier tour of duty in Iraq and was serving one in Afghanistan.

He is the son of Brian and Laura (Harris) Venne. Brian Venne is Moriah town justice and a former town trustee. Laura Venne is a teacher at Moriah Central School.

“It’s a sad day in the town of Moriah,” Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “Our hearts go out to the Venne and Harris families. Dain was a true hero; one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. He was respected by the entire community. It’s a horrible, horrible tragedy.

“It’s a sad day for the entire community,” he added. “When tragedy strikes Moriah comes together and we will now. Moriah is a family.”

Scozzafava said all flags in the town and village of Port Hen-

The Essex County Board of Supervisors honored Venne during its Nov. 5 meeting. Randy Douglas of Jay, board chairman, directed all county flags to be flown at half mast.

“I want to offer my deepest condolences on the loss of Dain Venne,” Douglas said. “The pride, honor and bravery with which he served deserves our respect. I hope they (parents) can find comfort in their son’s legacy of service.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo directed flags on state government buildings be flown at half-staff on Wednesday, Nov. 7, in honor of the fallen soldiers.

“Along with all New Yorkers, I mourn the deaths of Specialist Gornewicz, Specialist Jayne and Staff Sgt. Venne,” Cuomo said. “These young men were all volunteers who lived and worked in our communities and gave their lives for our great country. We extend our condolences to their friends, their families and their fellow soldiers.”

In 2011 Venne received the Firefighter Commendation Medal from the Port Henry Fire Department for his life saving actions while rescuing several stranded victims during Tropical Storm Lee. His father, Brian Venne, accepted the award on his behalf to a standing ovation since Venne was serving in Afghanistan.

“He was an outstanding firefighter, a perfect gentleman,” said Jim Hughes, Port Henry fire chief. “It’s a reflection on his family how he carried himself, very respectful to his fellow firefighters. You couldn’t ask for a better person, better son — an outstanding, overall good and decent human being. He took an interest in youth sports and education. He worked with kids and I was very impressed that he could reach out to a young mind and make an impression. He had an ability to teach and educate.”

Essex County Emergency Services Director Donald Jaquish, a Moriah resident, said Venne was an outstanding member of the community.

“He got a medal for helping rescue a child during the flood last year,” Jaquish said. “It’s very sad. He was athletic and a very good boy.”

A 2001 Moriah Central School graduate, Venne was an outstanding student and athlete. He was named to the 2000 allstate football team as a running back and linebacker by the New York State Sports Writers Association.

“He was a great, great kid — no, he was an outstanding man,” said Bill Larrow, Moriah Central School superintendent.

“He was a true leader, a model student and someone the entire community looked up to.

“I really don’t know what to say,” he continued. “He was one of the very best. He believed in the military, he believed in his mission.”

Don Tesar, Moriah football coach, said Venne exemplified all the qualities he hopes to find in a player, student and person.

“He was Moriah football,” Tesar said. “He lived it his entire life. He practiced hard, played hard and demanded respect from opponents and teammates. He was a great football player and a great kid to be around. He made everyone and everything around him better. He was a real leader.”

Tesar said he and his coaches will discuss ways to honor Venne’s memory. The Vikings play in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D quarterfinals Saturday at 1 p.m. at Rensselaer in Schuylerville.

“The kids all know him because his mother is a teacher at school and they know what he accomplished,” Tesar said.

“He’s a role model for our players today.”

Larrow said school administrators will meet to discuss a tribute.

“We want to honor Dain and his family,” Larrow said. “His mother is a member of our faculty. We’re all very close to the Venne family.”

Since the Afghan War began in 2001 2,146 American soldiers have died there, 282 this year.

Longtime Plattsburgh State icon moving on

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – William Laundry is a Plattsburgh State icon.

But he says it’s time for him to go, and this January, the university’s vice president of student affairs will retire.

“To me, it seems that the time is very right for me to retire,” Laundry said. “We just received a wonderful Middle States (accreditation) review.”

Plattsburgh State is also not in the midst of a budget crisis.

The university benefits from excellent leadership, and the Student Affairs division enjoys strong leadership.

“It’s the perfect time to go,” Laundry said.

Laundry will retire effective Jan. 1, 2013, after more than four decades at Plattsburgh State.

“Bill will be missed by students, staff and faculty alike,” said Plattsburgh State President John Ettling. “In fact, his warmth and his dedication to the campus have made him something of an icon among our alumni.”

Ettling expects to continue to see Laundry on campus after his retirement.

Laundry came to Plattsburgh State as housing director in 1969. Since then, he has served as director of residence life, director of campus life, dean of students, associate vice president for student affairs and vice president for student affairs.

Laundry belongs to several college-wide committees and serves as adviser to the Student Association Finance Board. He is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, the national leadership honor society for students, faculty, staff and administrators.

Laundry further serves on the Plattsburgh Campus-Community Partnership.

Laundry is secretary of the AuSable Forks High School Alumni Association and is on the board of directors for the UFirst Federal Credit Union. He also belongs Hawkeye Conservationists, Clinton County Historical Association, the Plattsburgh Memorial Chapel Board of Directors and is marriage officer for the City of Plattsburgh.

Laundry was the seventh person in Plattsburgh State’s history to be honored as an honorary alumnus.

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – Dollar General is coming to the City of Plattsburgh’s South End. And it is a large one at that.

The store will be located at the Lavin Candy Co. property at 4989 South Catherine Street.

The City of Plattsburgh’s Planning Board approved the plans submitted by Primax Properties, a real estate investment company based in Charlotte, N.C. Work is expected to start in April with the demolition of the Lavin Candy building.

Construction on the new Dollar General store would start shortly after and possibly be open that summer.

The store will be about 9,100 square feet, which is roughly 2,000 square feet larger than the typical Dollar General.

Dollar General, based in Tennessee, is the largest smallbox retailer in the country with sales of $14.8 billion last year.

Dollar General is located in more than 40 states, with local stores in Peru, Rouses Point and other North Country locations among its 10,000 stores.

Dollar General has 11 distribution centers with a workforce of around 94,000.

The first store was launched in 1955 in Kentucky.

In Oct 2006, the Student Association suite in the Angell College Center was named after him.

Bryan Hartman, associate vice president for student affairs and director of residence life has been selected to fill the position on an interim basis. Hartman graduated from Plattsburgh State in 1988 and started working for the college in 1993, becoming director of residence life in 2005 and associate vice president for student afWilliam Laundry fairs in 2011.

“Bryan is an excellent choice to take the helm of the division,” Laundry said.

Ettling agreed.

Hartman will miss Laundry.

“I think the initial news is somewhat of a shock to many people because it is difficult to imagine this place without Bill in that role,” Hartman said. “The leadership and stability he has provided us in that division has truly been a blessing.”

Laundry will miss working with faculty and staff and interacting with students, though he plans to remain in Plattsburgh and volunteer at the college.

He is eager to read more books, travel, spend more time at Silver Lake and attend college and community events.

He is grateful for the path Plattsburgh is on.

“It seems to me that we are constantly looking for ways to improve for the benefit of the students,” he said. “We’ve had a good last 10 years, and my hope is that we will continue to move forward.”

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Crazy 8 is coming to Plattsburgh.

The children’s clothing store, which was launched to compete with other successful children’s retail stores, should open in Champlain Centre this spring.

Officials at Champlain Centre, operated by Pyramid Management Group, LLC, said they are excited about the new addition and eager for Crazy 8 to open.

Crazy 8 is part of the Gymboree Corporation family of brands.

Bain acquired the company in 2010.

Gymboree stores offer coordinating children’s clothing with sizes that range from birth to age 12.

Gymboree has reorganized several times and operates 630 Gymboree Retail stores, 150 Gymboree Outlet stores, 120 Janie and Jack stores and started Crazy 8 in 2007.

Crazy 8 features cheaper clothing and is the corporation’s competitor for The Children’s Place and Old Navy.

There are roughly 300 Crazy 8 stores nationwide that offer fashionable outfits and accessories for boys and girls. They are billed as designed for every minute of a child’s busy schedule, including at and after school, bedtime and on the weekends.

Crazy 8 says its clothing is designed with “colorful, high-quality fabrics and detailed touches throughout.”

The brand carries sizes from newborn to 14.

Construction on the new store is expected to begin this November, with an opening planned for the spring.

Crazy 8 will be located near the food court and next to FYE. Additional information about Crazy 8 can be found at www.crazy8.com

Northeastern Clinton, Chazy boys soccer teams win Section VII titles

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CHAZY — After being upset in the 2011 Class B playoffs, the Northeastern Clinton Cougars were fired up for a chance to return to state play.

They followed through on that goal Nov. 2, as Austin Tetreault scored twice and Kyle McCarthy added another in a 3-0 victory over the Peru Indians to win the Section VII/Class B title.

The Cougars were led by a solid defensive effort, which saw Josh Rabideau make six saves, including one with the help of Tom Bedard, to clinch the clean sheet.

“They played us hard all year and they are going to be good next year,” Bedard said about Peru. “We had to battle.”

“It was outstanding,” defender Rodney Grimshaw said. “It was everything that we could have asked for defensively. We all played together and I do not think a ball was going to get by Josh.”

“All season long, we have stressed working hard on defense,” head coach Dale Hawksby said. “The difference tonight was we had to go out and score first.”

The Cougars did score first, taking advantage of a corner kick in the 13th minute. Avery Trombley sent a ball into the box from the right corner, with Tetreault and McCarthy making a run into the box. The ball found the head of Tetreault, getting by Peru keeper Michael Danis for a 1-0 lead.

“We go through it all the time in practice and Avery played in a great ball,” Tetreault said.

The score remained the same through the remainder of the first half, and the Indians held a 7-6 advantage in shots heading into halftime.

The Cougars found breathing room in the 56th minute, when a scramble in front of the net resulted in shots by Ryan Marks and McCarthy, who found the net.

“We have a knack of having the ball bounce into places that we can finish,” McCarthy said. “This one just happened to land on my foot and I was able to finish.”

In the final minute of the game, Tetreault iced it on a chip shot.

“It was an amazing feeling to see the ball go over the goalie,” he said.

For the Cougars, it was their fourth win over the Indians for the season.

“It has been tough, head-to-head all season long,” Hawksby said. “They had some quality shots on net in the first half and Josh stepped up and made some great saves. All

For McCarthy, who formerly played for and won a state championship with Chazy, the win allowed him to hold a sectional title on his former home field.

“It’s great to win a title on this field,” he said. “It brings back a lot of great memories and it is great to be making new memories with this team.”

McCarthy added that he was looking forward to making more memories this season, trying to help the Cougars get back to the state final four.

“It takes a lot of heart and determination,” he said. “At this point, you have to put your nose to the grindstone and get going. We have a lot of fire power.”

Along with McCarthy, Hawksby can call on several players to remind his team the work it takes to advance deep into state play.

“That’s a big help,” he said. “They really help the other kids know what it will take to get there. It’s going to be a big help for the younger kids letting them know that we can do this.”

The Cougars will face the regional semifinal winner between Sections II and X on Saturday, Nov. 10, at Plattsburgh High School.

to every practice and every game prepared and it is great to see everyone get a chance to play in a final,” Laurin said. “I was really taking it in at the end. It was cool.”

“We are proud of all 25 players on this team,” head coach Rob McAuliffe said. “It is nice to be able to see everyone have a hand in this win and it was a nice way to end the night.”

Laurin assisted on Nelson Pelton’s goal in the 40th minute of play, while Pelton assisted on the sixth goal of the game, scored by Josh Barriere in the 25th minute.

The Eagles held a 18-7 shot advantage, which was 13-2 at halftime. Alex Rizbacki had six saves for the Mountaineers, while Kyle Bissonette made two saves late in the second half.

“I thought that we played well and did our best,” Mountaineers head coach Millie Winslow said. “We knew coming in that we were going to be out of our league by a little bit. At some points of the game, I thought they played well against Chazy. We had a wonderful season and a lot of fun.”

For McAuliffe, he said the focus can now shift from sectional play to state tournament play and not only getting back to their fourth straight state title game, but winning their third in four years.

“We have one goal and we know that it is a lofty one,” he said. “But it is one that everyone of these boys is determined to achieve.”

PLATTSBURGH — Death, taxes and the Chazy Eagles.

In 2012, the boys soccer program was as certain as the former two in the Northern Soccer League and Section VII/Class D playoffs.

The Eagles continued to show their dominant style of play in the Nov. 3 Class D Championships game, as Brandon Laurin scored two of his four goals in the first four minutes of play to lead a 6-0 rout of Minerva/Newcomb.

“It feels great every single year,” Laurin, who scored on a Craig Botten direct kick on a header in the second minute and a penalty kick in the fourth, said.

Laurin also scored on a back-heel shot and Botten assist in the 25th minute and a hard shot that hit the top half of the far post on an assist from Nathan Reynolds in the 66th minute.

Shortly after, Laurin found himself on the bench, a reward for a good game that is seldom Brandon Laurin of Chazy watches as his header goes toward the seen in a sectional final game. goal, the first of four he would score in the Class D final.

Two-time state champs Chazy girls ousted along with Saranac, NAC

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — For the past two years, the Chazy Lady Eagles have dominated the state in Class D soccer.

For the last eight years, they have done the same in Section VII. Both streaks came to an end Nov. 3, as the Elizabethtown-Lewis Lions got goals from Kylee Cassavaugh and Jasmine Barnes to score a 2-0 win over the consecutive twotime state champs.

“There’s not even words to describe - you want to cry you are so happy,” Kearsten Ashline, who made six saves to earn a clean sheet in goal, said. “We had a lot of support and we played like a team all season long.”

“We had our ups and downs all season and fought hard to make it here,” Barnes said.

“It’s awesome - there’s no other feeling like this,” Cassavaugh said.

“I don’t know how to describe it,” head coach Steve Denton said. “They played awesome today. We needed to win all of the 5050 balls against this team and we did.”

One 50-50 ball the Lions won came in the 20th minute, when Katie Decker settled a goal kick from Chazy and got the ball to Cassavaugh, who hit the ball low to the left side post.

“I am supposed to stand at the top of the box in case there is a mis-hit,” Cassavaugh said. “I was looking for the shot. Coach tells us to shoot from outside the 18. I was thrilled when it went in.”

Following the goal, Cassavaugh went from striker to sweeper, playing defense for the rest of the game.

“We talked about doing that, but I didn’t think it was going to happen right away,” she said.

“Kylee has such a knack for the ball and such great feet,” Denton said. “We work on finishing chances all the time and tonight we were able to twice.”

The second came in the 66th minute, when the Lions attacked into the Eagles penalty box off a throw in. Crystal Grady was able to get a shot off, and the deflection found the foot of Barnes.

“I was hoping for a chance,” Barnes said.

“I saw the opening, took the shot and I was able to get a foot on it.”

“They made the opportunities happen and we couldn’t,” Chazy head coach Karin Sherman Trombley said. “It’s hard to beat a good team three times in a season. We have a young team and had a long road. Anything can happen in the post season.”

The Lions held a 3-0 shot advantage in the first half, but were out-shot 10-2 in the second. Both teams had three corner kicks.

PHS defeats Saranac

CHAZY — Scoring came early to start each half, but it was a goal with five minutes remaining that decided the Section VII/Class B title game.

Plattsburgh High’s Brooke Knight and Amelia Jenks of Saranac traded goals in the eighth and 49th minutes, but it was Knight who found herself on a break-away, burying the ball into the right side of the net to give the Hornets a 2-1 victory.

“It feels great,” Knight said. “It took us a lot to get here. Look at us now.”

Knight opened the scoring early, taking a rebound off a shot from Marle Curle and converting to give the Hornets the 1-0 advantage.

“I got a rebound and I was able to just kick it in,” she said.

The game remained tied throughout the remainder of the second half until just under six minutes to play, when the Chiefs had an-

other direct kick. The Hornets were able to control the ball off the kick and Hailey McLaughlin found Knight running up the middle of the field.

“I wanted to cut it back and find the back of the net,” Knight said. “When I saw the defender coming at me, I saw where she was See SOCCER, page 15

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Beekmantown Eagles made it through their second straight Section VII season without dropping a single set, capturing the Class B title with a 2511, 25-9 and 25-16 victory over the Peru Indians Nov. 3 at Clinton Community College.

“We played very well,” Eagles head coach Shana Hileman said. “Peru came out serving tough and really tested our serve-receive game and that was good for us. We got a lot of first touches to the target.”

Hileman said the team put in a lot of work to win their 51 straight sets in league and sectional play.

“They did a lot of work in the off-season and a lot of it is starting to pay off,” Hileman said. “Shannon Ryan has gotten a lot stronger as a hitter and we remember the feeling last year when Johnstown got to 25 before we did. When we get into the gym, there are no excuses.”

Kendra Lafountain had seven digs for the Eagles, while Michaela Lafountain had 16 assists and four kills, Shannon Ryan had nine kills and Emily Anderson had nine aces and 4 digs.

Brittany Kelso had four aces for the Indians, with Lea Perry adding six assists.

Soccer Continued from page 14 going and I knew where I wanted to go.”

“There was a lot of pressure on her to create some chances and she did,” head coach Tim Mulligan said.

The Hornets held a 17-5 advantage in shots, but Saranac made the most of their chances, putting everything on goalie Karlie Neale.

“I know that the Napper girl is a great forward and I had my eye on her the whole game,” Neale said. “I tried to be as big as possible and nothing was going to get by.”

“She had two or three key saves,” Mulligan said. “We knew Saranac would get their chances and she did a great job of limiting them.”

Neale finished with four saves, while Jamie Favreau had 11 saves in the game.

“This is a great group of girls to work with,” Mulligan said. “We set some goals for ourselves at the beginning of the season to be a championship team. We came up on the wrong end of some close games against some really good teams. Anyone could win on any given day and we knew it was going to be a battle. When sectionals came, we knew it was a second season.”

AuSable defeats NAC

PLATTSBURGH — Going into halftime, the AuSable Valley Lady Patriots knew they were off.

They had controlled the tempo of the game throughout the first 40 minutes of the Section VII/Class C girls title game Nov. 1 against

Northern Adirondack, but were locked in a tight, 0-0 contest.

The Lady Pats figured it out during the intermission, scoring three times in the final 40 minutes while holding a 15-4 overall shot advantage and forcing 14 corner kicks compared to one for the Lady Bobcats in earning the 3-0 win.

“Coach talked about us working harder and working together as a team,” Meghan Strong, who scored the first goal of the game in the 54th minute, said.

“We were not really connecting in the first half,” captain Rachel Knapp said. “We had good chances, but we were just not able to finish. We knew how important this game was and that we needed it to click in the second half.”

“We really didn’t do what we wanted to in the first half,” head coach Bruce Bourgeois said.

“We knew that NAC was going to come out and hustle, but we knew too if we could get the ball deep, then we would pin them back on defense.”

That was exactly what happened to start the second half, as the Patriots controlled play for the first 14 minutes. In the 54th minute, Knapp hit her second consecutive corner kick on an offensive attack for the Pats, arcing the ball high in front of the Bobcats net.

“All I was looking for was a head to come up and strike it,” Knapp said.

That head was Strong’s.

“It was a beautiful ball and I tried my best to get it right on goal,” Strong said. “It was a very important goal. That is what got our spirit up knowing that we could score.”

“She is one of the tiny ones, but she gets some

air,” Knapp said about Strong. “It was a great goal because after that, we got the momentum going.”

Ten minutes later, Strong was on the giving end, gaining possession of the ball and putting

a cross in on the NAC net, finding the head of Taylor Saltus.

“It was great to see her head come up and hit the ball,” Strong said.

“I was just trying to get a good head on the ball,” Saltus said.

Bourgeois was very impressed by the pair of goals.

“We have not had two head-ball goals all season,” he said. “They were beautiful goals. Oh, my God, they were beautiful goals.”

Saltus found her name in the scoring column again in the 75th minute, as Maddy Rondeau passes a ball toward goal that Saltus made a diving play on with her feet for the score.

The Patriots then played with a defensive set for the rest of the game, as the Bobcats recorded three of their four shots in the final five minutes.

“The defenders played awesome as usual,” Bourgeois said. “Bryce Douglass was great in goal. Sumra Sikandar, Logan Snow, Priscilla Coats, Sierra Snow and Tiffany Evans allow me to rotate and adapt to what we need to do on defense and they played a great game.”

Douglass finished with four saves, while Bobcat goalie Stephanie Snide recorded seven in the loss.

The Bobcats best scoring chance came in the first half when Magan Magee appeared to beat out Logan Snow for a breakaway opportunity.

However, officials called that Magee tripped Snow, ending the threat.

The Patriots next play in Plattsburgh on Election Night, Nov. 6, facing either Tupper Lake or Canton in the regional semifinals.
