Local WWII veteran remembers his ship, time served

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ PlattsburghÕ s Bob Brooks entered the navy in 1944, right out of high school. Just over a year later, he was part of the first detachment of United States ships to bombard the Japanese mainland from the sea.

He stepped aboard the USS Topeka, a Cleveland class light cruiser, in the Boston naval yard in August, 1944. It would be his home for the next 17 months. It was the first mission for the Topeka, whose construction had started in 1943. Brooks was part of the first crew ever to sail on the Topeka.

Being part of that first crew made Brooks a “plank owner” of the Topeka. When the Topeka was decommissioned decades later, Brooks would receive a part of the ship. That was the farthest thing from his mind in 1944.

Before leaving for the navy, Brooks received some simple advise from his father Owen, a World War I veteran. Ò He put his hand on my shoulder and he said Ô do your job, do a good one, and then come home,Õ Ó said Brooks at his Plattsburgh home. Ò And thatÕ s what I did.Ó In the months he spent at sea, Brooks studied enemy planes, and got fairly good at identifying them. Soon he was directing anti-aircraft batteries on the Topeka. A small part, Brooks says, of the larger effort of the 1,410 men aboard the ship.

True to the form of most World War II veterans, Brooks shies away from any individual glory for his military service. Ò I was part of the defense of the ship,Ó he said. Ò I was on the starboard side, forward quarter, and I was just a small part of the team.Ó In July of 1945, just shy of a year after he had boarded the Topeka, American naval forces were operating close to the Japanese mainland in the vicinity of Okinawa. The Topeka was part of an aircraft carrier task force which was carrying out aerial bombing missions against the Japanese home islands, and ultimately against the mainland.

On July 18, with three other light cruisers and a small contingent of destroyers, the Topeka pealed off and headed for the entrance to Tokyo Bay. When they were between 15 and 25 miles from Tokyo itself, the order was given to bombard shore batteries. Immediately the Topeka and the rest of the ships launched a broadside attack. Ò We watched the projectiles go, and then they came down.

Well when that salvo hit land, IÕ m going to tell you, you talk about the Fourth of July fireworks here 100 times,” said Brooks about the historic raid. Ò We whacked them good, and so we left.Ó They stayed in the Pacific and took part in other missions before the war ended, but none as memorable as that day in July when he was one of the first Americans to bombard Japan. Ò I was honored to be part of a ship, a man-o-war, that would

stand up to anything they ever had. They say we did 31 knots...when we went into that bay, we were doing 40. The little destroyers had trouble keeping up with us,Ó he said, his smile widening at the memory.

He left the Topeka in Tsing Tao, China in 1946 to return home and get on with his life. The Topeka went on with her life too, earning three battle stars for her service in Vietnam to go along with the two she earned in World War II. He never totally put the Topeka, and especially her crew, behind him though, attending shipÕ s reunions around the country over the decades.

Brooks finally received his plank when the Topeka was scrapped in 1975.

He was later honored to be part of the dedication of the new USS Topeka, an atomic powered submarine commissioned in 1989. He is a plank owner for that Topeka as well.

Brooks was aboard the first Honor Flight to Washington D.C. this past May, and cannot speak highly enough about the experience. He speaks of the Honor Flight veterans as lovingly as he does the crew of the Topeka. Ò President Roosevelt after Pearl harbor said Ô This is a day, Dec. 7, 1941, this will be a day that will live in infamy,Õ and I sort of looked at it that May 18, over in front of that World War II memorial, will be a day that will live in memory,Ó he said. “I have never met a finer group of people.”

Calling all area veterans: we would like to share your stories This is the third installment of an occasional feature at The North Countryman and The Burgh, where we will be interviewing local veterans and sharing their stories. The main early focus of these features will be World War II veterans, but we will also be attempting to share the stories of Korean War veterans, Vietman War veterans, Cold War veterans and Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans as well over time.

Shortly before he died, my father was asked what ships he served on in World War II. His reply was: Ò None of the important ones.Ó I don’t think this is possible. There are no unimportant ships in a flotilla, no unimportant battles in a campaign, no unimportant deployments in a war...any war. No service is unimportant service. All veterans have a story to tell, whether itÕ s a story about battle or life after their service. We at Denton Publications intend to tell as many of these stories as we can, with your help.

If anyone is or knows a local veteran with a story to tell, please contact me at shawn@denpubs.com to set up an interview.

Anyone who knows a World War II veteran who would like to be involved with Honor Flight should contact Danny Kaifetz at HonorFlight@Charter.net for more information. Ñ

Michael Staley pleads guilty in puppy abandonment case

By Shawn Ryan

Shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ In Plattsburgh City Court Nov. 21, Michael Staley pled guilty to five counts of abandoning an animal, in a plea agreement worked out with the Clinton County District Attorney’s office. Ò A sentence up to or including jail time is up to the court,Ó said Assistant District Attorney Jason Marx in court.

The plea brings to a close a saga which has gripped the North Country since summer. Michael StaleyÕ s wife Tammy was arrested in July for 20 counts of animal cruelty, after her store, Northern Puppies, was inspected by officials from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and the Plattsburgh City Police. In the complaint, Agriculture and Markets claimed that they found a dead kitten, and that other kittens and two puppies were being housed in kennels which were too small. Sanitary and other issues were also noted in the complaint.

Tammy Staley pled not guilty in Plattsburgh City Court. At

that time she was barred from selling any of the puppies she had at the store until her court case was adjudicated.

Then, on Aug. 4, Michael Staley staged a burglary at Northern Puppies, took 24 puppies from the store and systematically dumped them in wooded locations in the towns of Saranac, Dannemora and Peru.

Michael Staley was arrested by Plattsburgh City Police for 24 counts of Animal Abandonment, section 355A of the Agriculture and Markets Law. Ò IÕ m mad at him, but I understand where heÕ s coming from,Ó Tammy Staley said later in an interview with the Burgh. Ò I think in my husbandÕ s eyes, he sees me crying, he sees me depressed.

He knows that we’re not taking in any money. He figures ‘no puppies, no problems.Õ Ó The next morning area residents began contacting authorities with reports of found puppies. Over the next week, ad hoc groups of local citizens mobilized to search for the abandoned puppies in the areas where Staley told police he had dumped them. Nineteen puppies were recovered, and turned in to the city

police. They have all since been adopted by local families. Five puppies were never located.

Both StaleysÕ court cases ground through city court throughout the fall, until they were offered plea agreements by the Clinton County District Attorney’s office recently. Tammy Staley accepted a plea agreement Nov. 7, pleading guilty to five counts of cruelty to an animal, which is a misdemeanor. Michael Staley accepted the plea agreement today, and pled guilty to five misdemeanors as well.

Sentencing for both Staleys has been postponed pending a pre-sentencing investigation by the Clinton County Probation Department. Tammy Staley is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 17, and Michael Staley is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 24, both by Judge Mark Rogers.

A ‘Going Out Of Business Sale’ sign was briefly displayed on the Northern Puppies store in the Plattsburgh Plaza, but that sign has since been removed. A new sign naming the store Ò Critter Hut Pet ShopÓ has taken its place.

SUNY Plattsburgh names building, terrace and conference room PLATTSBURGH Ñ At its November meeting, the SUNY Plattsburgh College Council approved resolutions temporarily renaming the new business and computer science building, while giving permanent names to a conference room and terrace.

The building, which sits on the corner of Draper Avenue and Cornelia Street, will be named Ausable Hall but may be renamed should a donor make a gift in accordance with the Campus Naming Opportunities Policy of the Plattsburgh College Foundation.

The move to name the building was made to facilitate communication. Meanwhile, the name itself was chosen to honor the Ausable River Valley, Ò renowned for its rich history as a working river for early settlers,Ó according to the resolution.

The choice also reflects a campus tradition of honoring local geographic features through building names like Adirondack, Champlain, Algonquin and Saranac.

The John and Mary Hopkins Terrace

A second resolution named the terrace on the second floor of the same building the John and Mary Hopkins Terrace, in honor of the parents of Kathy Hopkins MaGaw. MaGaw, an alumna from the class of 1972, has served on the Plattsburgh College Foundation Board of Trustees for more than a decade. She is treasurer and chair of its Investment Committee; was co-chair of Bright with Promise, the college’s first comprehensive campaign; and was awarded the collegeÕ s highest honor Ñ the Distinguished Service Award.

MaGaw recently pledged $250,000 in unrestricted funds to the foundation.

The Hermes Conference Room

Finally, the council moved to name the large, first-floor conference room in the new building in honor of Thomas and Marie Hermes.

The alumni couple has long supported SUNY Plattsburgh students through an endowed scholarship fund and has now pledged an additional $100,000 in unrestricted funds to the foundation.

Both the MaGaw and the Hermes gifts will be used to provide funding for scholarships and enhancements to academic, student life and career networking programs on campus.

Avoid ‘charity fatigue’ this season

A

fter several false starts winter is finally upon us, and as Thanksgiving gives way to the Christmas season, itÕ s also time for the annual Ò Season of Giving,Ó with all of the pitfalls and pleasures that go with it.

The Christmas season is an obvious time of year to think of those in need. ItÕ s a time of year when we give to those we love, so itÕ s natural to think of those who either have no one to care for them, or donÕ t have enough to give to the people they love. But there is a down-side to this time of giving.

The biggest is what weÕ ve heard called Ò charity burnout.Ó There are literally thousands of charities, and most are very worthy and do excellent work. ItÕ s not uncommon to go to a mall or shopping center and find a bell ringer at every door, tables set up inside the mall with other worthy charities requesting donations or selling wrist bands, paper angles or the like, cashiers at many stores inquiring if you would like to donate to another worthy cause. All this comes before ever turning on the television or logging onto the internet, or stopping by your place of worship, to be barraged with even more charity requests.

ItÕ s hard to believe that anyone can make it through the holiday season without suffering charity burnout. One suggestion is to decide now, before the charity season hits full swing, how much you want to and can afford to give to charity, and decide which charities you wish to fund. Pick the one, three, or even five, charities that mean the most to you, and whose mission you most appreciate, and those will be the ones you donate to. Set that amount aside in your purse or wallet, and when you come by a worthy charity on your list, if you have money left in your budget, donate. You will be able to keep tabs on how much you are donating, and will feel at least some semblance of control over the process.

If you feel like you are giving as much as you can afford to, you will likely not feel compelled to give to everyone. Another thing to keep in mind in this season is that not all giving needs to be monetary. If you have time on a weekend or in the evening, volunteer to ring the bell, cover a shift at the local food shelf or find some other way to volunteer. Look around your neighborhood; do you have elderly neighbors who need their walkway shoveled? This will cost you nothing, but will leave you and your neighbor both with the warm glow of the season in your hearts.

This is an especially good thing to teach your children. Then your spirit of charity might end up expanding to the next generation. If you donÕ t have the time, but do plan to give monetarily, look for those charities that will help your North Country neighbors. Try to keep your money local.

While there is nothing wrong with helping someone on the other side of the world, you will likely have a more immediate feeling of giving if you knit a pair of mittens or give a new coat or toy to a North Country child.

That charity might someday get paid forward, and this region of the world will keep on being the special place to live that it has always been.

There is also nothing wrong with asking a charity how much of your contribution will stay local, or even what percentage of your contribution will go to administration as opposed to going to the needy. With something like a coat or a toy, you know that 100 percent goes to those in need.

The final thing to keep in mind, is that many, if not most, charities have needs year-round. It’s amazingly generous to serve meals to the needy on Christmas, but people are just as hungry in June. Give some thought to pacing your giving, or volunteering, to charity all year round. Then you might feel a little bit better about tempering things between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and you might be able to avoid charity burnout. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

having its annual Candlelight Ceremony on Friday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. at the Circle of Healing & Hope. The Candlelight Ceremony will provide people with an opportunity to remember their loved one. Everyone is invited to attend. We are accepting names to be read during the ceremony. To submit a name, call the CVPH Foundation Office at 562-7169 or e-mail Michele Buancore, Foundation Intern, at mbuancore@cvph.org Similar ceremonies will be happening all across the country on this same evening.

To the North Countryman:

I represent the United Way Campaign Team for the Adirondack Region. United Way funds 40 different agencies in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties. I co-lead one of these agencies: The Champlain Valley Chapter of The Compassionate Friends.

This is a self help bereavement support group for families who have had children, grandchildren or a sibling die. This is run by volunteers only. With the funds from United Way we can send out newsletters, run meetings, host a memorial walk and candle lighting ceremony, and also do other fun events for our members.

The United Way Campaign is in full swing this Holiday Season and with everyone hustling around to make sure we check everyone off our Holiday lists, I would like for you to consider giving a gift in honor or memory of a loved one to this yearÕ s United Way Campaign. Holiday shopping is exhausting, so why not save some time and drop off a donation to The United Way Office on the Tom Miller Road in Plattsburgh. There are always gifts to purchase for those hard to buy for people on our lists.

Why not give a gift that will keep on giving. One gift will help 40 partner agencies. If you have already done your shopping for this season, think about other times of the year when you are invited to anniversary and birthday parties, retirement parties and you just donÕ t know what to get. A gift to the United Way will take the guessing out of what to get them. Imagine how proud the honoree would feel opening a card with a message inside saying where the gift went in their name. Times are challenging in our world today. Please help our neighbors and together we will reach our goal. Last year alone, our 40 partner agencies helped over 80,000 individuals collectively.

PBS to hold Downton Abbey Premier, gala

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ For the adoring fans of the period drama, Downton Abbey, the wait for the first episode of the season will come a little bit sooner! The pre screening will be celebrated with a character inspired gala on Dec. 14.

The event, Ò A Downton Abbey Gala and PremiereÓ will be held at the West Side Ballroom, 253 New York Road.

Downton Abbey, the international hit series from writer and creator Julian Fellowes, is a British period drama television series. The series, set in the Yorkshire country estate of Downton Abbey, depicts the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in the early 1920s. The show depicts the familyÕ s lives through great events in history having an effect on their lives and on the British social hierarchy. The series begins with the sinking of the RMS Titanic and later the outbreak of World War I, the Spanish influenza pandemic and the formation of the Irish Free State in the third series; and the Teapot Dome scandal in the fourth series.

The evening will be a celebration of fans all over the North Country and a chance to get out of the regular and go back in time. The event was inspired by the success of a smaller Downton Abbey party thrown by Mountain Lake PBS in 2012. But this year Janine Scherline, Director of Fundraising & Business Development for Mountain Lake PBS, said the new development team is excited to try something new and fun for the Downton enthusiasts of the North Country.

The evening begins with a cocktail hour and silent auction followed by a formal dinner featuring a menu inspired by the show and the early 1920s, high society aristocratic taste.

The menu will be themed around the Downton time period and include: Cream of Tomato & Basil Soup, choices of Chicken Breast with Caper Cream Sauce, Broiled Haddock, Pork Tenderloin stuffed with Dried Fruits, or Roasted Acorn Squash stuffed with Cheese Tortellini for the main course, and for dessert sweet British pudding. Ò ItÕ s going to be a really fun event, we hope people will dress in their fineries or period clothing and come for dinner and the premier,” Scherline said. “The fashion was before the flapper period. Mostly empire waist dresses for women and tuxedos for men.Ó The gala fundraiser will begin at 5 p.m. with dinner and music. The dinner will cost $75 per person. Ò WeÕ re going to have a string quartet to set the mood and it is just a fun opportunity for fans of the show to connect and have a good time,Ó Scherline said. Ò The proceeds from the event go to help PBS be a presence in the community with unique stories and programming.Ó Following the gala, the long awaited premier of the showÕ s fourth season will be open to all fans of the show. The first episode of the upcoming Season 4, premieres on Mountain Lake PBS on Jan. 5. Ò The screening is free, but we ask that people call and register,Ó Scherline said.

The screening will take place at 7:30 p.m. Ò The end of season three left a lot for people to wait for,Ó Scherline said. Ò There was a birth and a car accident which left off as a beloved characterÕ s life is in jeopardy.Ó Ò Downton Abbey is one of the most highly acclaimed programs on PBS in years,Ó said Alice Recore, President & CEO at

Mountain Lake PBS in a press release. Ò Our audience canÕ t seem to get enough Downton, and weÕ re thrilled to build on the excitement around Season 4 with this gala.Ó The new season will include a number of new cast members including Paul Giamatti and Tom Cullen. Shirley Maclaine will also return this season.

“The opportunity to see the first episode before it airs is one Downton Abbey aficionados won’t want to miss!” Scherline said.

Tickets to the event are available online now at mountainlake. org/downton, or by calling 800-836-5700.

A variety of items will be available for bid at the silent auction during the cocktail hour and dinner.

Items include: A one-year subscription to Adirondack Life Magazine and Lake Champlain Book; a one-night stay at the Courtyard Mariott in Lake Placid; a Pottery vase from Jay Craft Center; a Battle of Plattsburgh Bay framed print from KeyBank; items from Kneucraft Fine Jewelry and Design; SSV Rhodium Diamond & Tanzanite Earrings; glassware from the Miner Institute; an autographed New York Jets football; an original Watercolor titled Ò A Highclere Castle GardenÓ from Small Fortune Studio; ski passes for Titus Mountain; United States Tennis Association presents two Upper Promenade tickets to the 2014 US Open; a V. Fraas cashmere scarf, Vermont Lake Monsters bobblehead and baseball cap; window dressings and a Chamila Bracelet with Mistletoe Charm.

Other auction items include gift certificates for Adirondack Vision Care; and gift certificates to ADK Cafe, the AuSable Inn, Curtis Lumber, Dartbrook Lodge, DunkinÕ Donuts, Taco Bell, KFC, A&W, Fledging Crow Vegetables, Noon Mark Diner, PasqualeÕ s Restaurant, PerrywinkleÕ s Fine Jewelry, La Quinta Inn, Maggy Pharmacy Inc., and Texas Roadhouse.

Presentation planned on activist congregation PLATTSBURGH Ñ Ò A Radical ChurchÕ s JourneyÓ will be the theme of a presentation at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Plattsburgh, 4 Palmer Street, 7 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Co-sponsored by the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association, the presentation will feature co-authors Frank Decker and Lois Rosebrooks discussing their book on Henry Ward Beecher, the famous minister, and his activist congregation, BrooklynÕ s Plymouth Church.

BeecherÕ s congregation took direct action against slavery before the Civil War, challenging New York CityÕ s pro-slavery business community; becoming known as the Ò Grand Central Depot of the Underground RailroadÓ ; raising money to buy freedom for slaves; and shipping guns to anti-slavery guerrilla fighters, including John Brown in Kansas.

Eye on Business - Lenny’s Shoe and Apparel

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com

Todd McCarthy, co-owners of Lenny’s Shoe and Apparel on the Tom Miller Rd. in Plattsburgh, with Lenny the Llama, a veteran of the original Lenny’s store in Vermont.

51903

PLATTSBURGH Ñ ThereÕ s a new place to shop in Plattsburgh, and itÕ s a locally owned and operated store, with a long track record of success in Vermont.

LennyÕ s Show and Apparel has just opened its doors on this side of the lake, and the massive showroom is quickly filling up with both customers and a growing selection of merchandise. The Plattsburgh location, on the Tom Miller Road between Smithfield Blvd. and the Military Turnpike, is the fifth Lenny’s location. It’s the first to open in 17 years, and the first in New York.

The original LennyÕ s was opened by Lenny McCarthy 23 years ago. McCarthy has since turned over the family business to his sons. Todd McCarthy, who has lived in Plattsburgh for the past three years, decided it was time to open a LennyÕ s in Plattsburgh. Ò ThereÕ s not a lot like us here, and thatÕ s how it came about really,Ó said McCarthy. Ò I am an avid shopper, from now being around here all the time I saw what was going on with business, and cars in parking lots, and I thought we could be a pretty good niche in this market.Ó What LennyÕ s has is an eclectic mix of national brands of cloth-

ing and footwear, like Carhartt, Merrell and Timberland, and smaller, independent shoe and apparel companies as well. They also carry things like work gloves, hunting backpacks, hiking gear, pajamas, hats and much more. Many people still think of LennyÕ s as a shoe store, says McCarthy, but they are at least 50 percent apparel.

And while they have a large retail footprint in Vermont, McCarthy stresses that LennyÕ s is still a family run, local business.

They have hired 22 people so far for their sales staff, but plan to hire more as business picks up. Ò Because we are locally owned, you can come in here and you’ll be able to find the owner of the company. It’s not a national chain where your voice isnÕ t heard. IÕ m in the process of getting signs up; youÕ ll have our e-mail addresses, my brother and my direct e-mail address. If you have a problem, suggestion, we will listen to you. ItÕ s just the way we conduct business,Ó he said.

Last weekÕ s open was a Ò soft opening,Ó and they are planning a grand opening in the spring.

When you come by LennyÕ s, stop by and say hi to Lenny the Llama. Lenny was around for the first store opening, but then found himself relegated to a storage warehouse for years. When McCarthy was preparing the new store for opening, he said Ô IÕ ve got to have the Llama in the new store.Õ

Honor Flight From page 1

some of it for Honor Flight.Ó With Clinton CountyÕ s resolution now passed, legislator Mark Dame is now lobbying the four other counties in the North Country Honor Flight network, Essex, Franklin, Washington and Jefferson, to bring up similar resolutions. There are also numerous other grants available to organizations like Honor Flight, Kaifetz points out, and they are attempting to find a dedicated volunteer whose sole job will be to pursue grant money.

After sending five flights of World War II veterans to Washington D.C. this past summer, Honor Flight is planning on sending seven next summer. The first flight, which will be May 17, is already booked with 14 veterans, and is already paid for by fund raising. The $30,000 grant will pay for the next two Honor Flights, totaling three flights already paid for.

Honor Flight will be fund raising throughout the holiday season, and will have a table set up at the mall throughout the Ò Black FridayÓ weekend. They are also actively working for toy donations for the upcoming Teens for Marines/Toys for Tots event Dec. 13 at the Rainbow Banquet Hall in Altona.

Honor Flight is also raising funds for Wreaths Across America, which will take place on Dec. 14 at noon at the Old Base cemetery. Wreaths can be purchased for $15, to be placed on a veteranÕ s headstone at the cemetery. Their goal is to have a wreath on every headstone.

One of the hallmarks of Honor Flights, nationwide, is Ò mail call.Ó At mail call, World War II veterans are given a sometimes staggering amount of mail; letters and home-made cards from school children and adults collected from around the area. With

Captain Sean M. Corbett and his team of the 7th Special Forces Unit operating in Kandahar, Afghanistan. no Honor Flights scheduled for the winter, they hope to extend the idea of mail call to some soldiers serving overseas this holiday season. Honor Flight is asking readers, especially teachers who can extend the invitation to their children, to send a mail call to Captain Sean Corbett and his fellow soldiers of the 7th

Special Forces Unit serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Anyone can send a letter or card to them by mailing it to Ò Honor Flight SPECIAL FORCES, 1 Derek Drive, Keeseville NY 12944.Ó Honor Flight will take care of getting the mail to Kandahar.
