Saranac Central superintendent to retire stephen@denpubs.com SARANAC — The Saranac Central School District superintendent is leaving with mixed emotions.

After nearly 40 years with the same district, a lengthy education career that has included teaching and administration and in which he consistently put students first.

Now, he has grandchildren in the district, and Ken Cringle wants to devote more time to his family.

“It is with mixed emotions that I respectfully submit my retirement notification, effective July 1, 2013,” Cringle said.

“I want to thank the Board of Education and the community for the opportunity Saranac Central School Superintendent Ken Cringle is retiring at the end of and support they have provided me throughout my career.” the 2012-13 school year.

School has been an integral part of Cringle’s family, beginning with his decision to teach, coach and become an administrator at his Alma Mater.

His career decision set in motion decades of K-12 student interaction and countless sessions with parents to help make them feel part of the team.

Cringle cannot count the number of times he has met with “an exceptionally dedicated” staff, nor the number of discussions he has engaged with a “studentcentered, community-minded” school board.

“As an alumnus, father and grandfather of children attending this school district, I feel very fortunate to have experienced and worked in such a caring school community and dedicated staff.”

The Saranac community has consistently provided the district with capable students who have served as Cringle’s

CHAMPLAIN — You can’t just toss your old television in your car and then chuck it with the trash.

Computers don’t belong in a garbage bag beside wrappers and dirty diapers.

With the environment battered badly enough, special steps should be taken to dispose of such items, though in some cases this presents a difficulty to people.

Well, the Town of Champlain is making it easy with its new electronics recycling collection site.

Port Kent artist creates glass bottle kiln

By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com PORT KENT — The crisp November evening was set ablaze by firelight passing through hundreds of differently colored bottles.

Meaghan Paugh stood in front of her creation—a glass bottle kiln—half delighted by the rainbow glow and half amazed that the experiment was actually working.

“I don’t really know what’s going to happen,” she confided. “I guess we’ll just have to wait until tomorrow morning.”

Paugh, who has a degree in studio art with a concentration in ceramics, got the idea from a paper she wrote on Italian artist Karin Putsch-Grassi for a contemporary art class at Plattsburgh State.

Researching Putsch-Grassi opened Paugh up to the world of glass bottle kilns and further investigation revealed no evidence of that kind of work in the United States.

So Paugh collected sand from the shore of Lake Champlain, enlisted some friends to help her collect wine bottles, dug a trench in her parent’s backyard and built a 3-foot-tall igloo out of sand and bottles over it.

Then she invited some friends over on Wednesday, Nov. 14, and started a fire within the kiln.

As smoke gently puffed out of the chimney on top of the structure, people took turns peeking through tennisball-size peepholes, into the fiery belly of the kiln.

Despite the minor setback that occurred earlier that afternoon—a portion of the wall collapsed and had to be repaired—things went smoothly the rest of the night.

Above left, the glass bottle kiln emitted a brilliant display of color. Above, fire within the kiln tranformed the bottles into long, colorful glass stalactites.

Photos by Meaghan Paugh

Paugh’s adventurous spirit was paying off.

“You can’t be scared of the unknown,” Paugh said.

The kiln was still standing the following morning, and the bottle necks protruding toward the inside of the structure were elongated, having melted during the night. They now stretched downward, like bright blue, green and white stalactites adorning a room in some otherworldly carnivalthemed cave.

Paugh plans on picking her creation

Daily Specials

apart and hopes to put the remnants on display in a local gallery, along with photos and a video to describe the process.

She also plans on doing another glass bottle kiln next summer, and would someday like her work to be seen by people around the world.

“Hopefully by the spring I will have some more things to show the area, and I’d like to spread a little bit farther than just local,” Paugh said. “I’ll take baby steps, but go big or go home is usually my motto.”

Contraband, fights at Clinton County Jail

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Clinton County Jail was the scene of contraband and fights recently.

The incidents resulted in the arrests of three Clinton County men.

Clinton County Sheriff ’s deputies arrested Mark L. Gagnier and Audrey N. Filion on Nov. 25 for promoting contraband during a visit at the Clinton County Jail.

Gagnier allegedly passed a controlled substance to Filion, who is currently incarcerated at the Clinton County Jail.

Gagnier was charged with conspiracy in the fourth degree, criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and promoting prison contraband in the first degree, all of which are felonies, and promoting prison contraband in the second degree, a misdemeanor.

Filion was charged with conspiracy in the fourth degree and promoting

prison contraband in the first degree, both felonies, and possession of a controlled substance and promoting prison contraband in the second degree, both misdemeanors.

Gagnier and Filion were arraigned in Town of Plattsburgh Court and were remanded to Clinton County Jail on $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond.

On Nov. 24, Clinton County Sheriff ’s deputies arrested Gerald F. Mace.

Mace was arrested after an investigation into an assault that occurred within the Clinton County Jail.

It is alleged that Mace, of Plattsburgh, engaged in a physical altercation with another inmate, causing physical injury to the victim. During the assault, Mace allegedly placed pressure on the victim’s airway, which caused the victim to lose consciousness for a short period of time.

Mace was charged with assault in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, introducing dangerous contraband into a correctional facility and strangulation in the second degree, all felonies.

Mace was processed and arraigned in the Town of Plattsburgh Court where he was remanded back to Clinton County Jail without bail.

Viewpoint

The season of giving is upon us It’s a Charlie Brown Christmas I T

he stores are draped in color, the golden tunes of Bing Crosby ring through the air and houses are aglow with decorations. The holiday season is once again here.

With the season comes an increased concern for those around us who may need a hand. Most all of the holidays we celebrate in the final two months of the season are based on the tradition of helping those less fortunate.

One place that sees an increased need during this time are food pantries and emergency food shelves. There is a combination of factors that lead to this need, as families start to face colder temperatures and the decision of whether or not to use their paychecks to provide warmth or nourishment.

Not only are fuel prices higher than they used to be, but now food prices have also seen a rise with recent drought and market conditions.

We’re not talking about providing the extras here, but the basic food needed to maintain a proper diet from day to day. In a recent interview with the directors of the Willsboro and Essex food pantries, they said that they were making multiple trips up and down the Willsboro town hall stairs each day to get packages from the pantry to families in need. For them, a savior showed up in the form of two local businesses, as Champlain National Bank and NYCO combined to contribute $3,200 to the pantry. We commend these organizations for their service to the community.

We also commend those who contributed throughout the region during the recent Scouting For Food and U.S. Postal Service drives. Postal workers collected food to be sent to the New York City area, where the need is great after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Cub and Boy Scouts contributed to local food pantries, collecting on Saturday morning, Nov. 17, youth gave their precious Saturday morning time to help others. If you would like to help these pantries, contact your local town hall for hours and details.

Another way to help local food pantries is by stopping by and watching the annual CP Rail Holiday Train pull into town. The train will be coming through Friday Nov. 30, and making stops in Whitehall (2:30 p.m.), Ticonderoga (4 p.m.), Port Henry (5:45 p.m.),

Plattsburgh (8:15 p.m.) and Rouses Point (10 p.m.). Visitors are asked to bring nonperishable food items to the train station, then stay to enjoy music, events and a beautifully decorated train.

There are also those who are helping to make sure that families can provide gifts to their children in tough economic times.

Some may say that if you can’t afford gifts, then go without; or gifts are not what make the season. While gifts may not make the season, try to put yourself back in the shoes of a young child returning to school after the holiday break or seeing friends for the first time after Christmas morning. How would it feel to sit there and listen to all of your friends talking about their shiny new toy or show up dressed in new clothes while there was nothing under your tree? Not a pleasant thought.

The need continues to grow. In Elizabethtown, teachers at ELCS have found that their donations are no longer enough to fuel their Secret Santa Society, and so they are seeking the help of the community. They are accepting donations of toys, clothes and money through Dec. 14.

There are also those churches who are taking part in the Operation Christmas Child Program. Denton Publications and Families First of Essex County are partnering for the fifth annual Operation Boxed Smile Program. There is the Adopt-a-Family program at CVPH, Toys For Kids, the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program and many more.

Then, there are the familiar, “Red Kettles,” that accompany the annual American Red Cross donation drive. There are many who volunteer their time, standing in the cold, ringing a bell and giving a smile to everyone who passes by. We ask that you return the smile and some change any chance you get, whether one time or many.

Through these many chances to give, we can all find an appropriate way to help our neighbors and help provide everyone with a truly happy holidays.

n the most recent flare up an atheist group is accusing an Arkansas grade school of violating the constitutional rights of students by inviting them to a performance of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” at a local church. I fear we will continue to see more of these challenges to remove all types of community support for any activity with a religious overtone, going against the long held beliefs this country was founded upon.

Students at Terry Elementary School in Little Rock were invited to a performance of the show at Agape Church, a non-denominational Christian Church. Reportedly teachers informed parents in letters sent home that a school bus would shuttle children to and from the show, which would be performed on a school day.

“We're not saying anything bad about Charlie Brown,” said Anne Orsi, vice president of the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers, “The problem is that it’s got religious content and it’s being performed in a religious venue and that doesn’t just blur the line between church and state, it oversteps it entirely.”

According to the letter the teachers sent home, the students would need to pay $2 to cover the expense of the bus ride but students were not required to attend the production, according to the school district. A spokeswoman for the Little Rock School District said the district did not endorse any particular faith or encourage any specific religious activity.

One parent contacted the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers after receiving the letter.

The parent, who did not want to be named, said that although she could choose not to allow her child to attend, she was letting her daughter go to the performance for fear the girl could be singled out.

For a nation founded on religious freedom, a nation that has become more tolerant of many views and changes in society it seems odd to me to find religion under so much fire today. But it’s clear the nonbelievers and atheists have chosen to draw a line in the sand. Instead of celebrating the freedom to believe as each individual sees fit, we find a group putting up barriers to the outward beliefs of others. These

groups apparently want to change the One Nation under God to something very different.

Dan Alexander Recent studies Thoughts from have shown that Behind the Pressline while 46 million adults are unaffiliated to a specific religion they are religious or spiritual in some way. Two-thirds of them say they believe in God (68%). More than half say they often feel a deep connection with nature and the earth (58%), while more than a third classify themselves as “spiritual” but not “religious” (37%), and one-in-five (21%) say they pray every day. In addition, most religiously unaffiliated Americans think that churches and other religious institutions benefit society by strengthening community bonds and aiding the poor.

With few exceptions, the unaffiliated say they are not looking for a religion. Overwhelmingly, they think that religious organizations are too concerned with money and power, too focused on rules and too involved in politics.

It’s been said that when things look down, people look up and seek the help and comfort of their God. It will be interesting to see how these challenges to religion and the customs that will be playing out throughout the upcoming Christmas season will be further affected this year. A number of nativity events have been shuttered as a result of legal threats, but as we’ve seen throughout history, efforts to restrict certain practices or beliefs tends to have the reverse affect. It’s unfortunate that we go through these challenging periods of time, but like so many things we experience in life it all seems to be for a purpose in the end. Those of faith and those who chose a different path will hopefully look back on this time period as some type of turning point and however you chose to view these events, I hope we can all agree the discussions and outcomes will serve to strengthen our nation, our beliefs and our ability to be tolerant of each other.

Firefighters offer holiday safety tips to avoid accidents

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – The Clinton County Firefighters Association wishes everyone a wonderful holiday season and wants to remind all to be safe.

“Public safety and protection is especially important during this celebratory season,” said Chuck Kostyk, public relations chair. “The 28 member departments of the CCFA stand ready to serve their communities 24-hours-a-day.

Please feel free to stop by your local fire station if you have any questions.”

The Clinton County Firefighters Association offered an array of tips for the holiday season.

The group advised individuals to check trees for fresh, green needles as trees that have dried out over several weeks are easier to ignite. It is also important to keep trees watered at all times, using stands that hold at least one gallon of water as the average trunk can consume as much as four quarts or one gallon of water per day.

Trees should be kept at least three feet from fireplaces, radiators, space heaters and heating vents and should not block exits.

It is important to look for the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) Marks on light strings, electrical decorations and extension cords. That mark means UL engineers tested samples of the product for safety hazards.

Ensure lights, decorations and extension cords are rated for outdoor use. Lights intended for indoor-only use bear green UL Marks, and those intended for indoor and outdoor use bear red UL Marks.

Follow instructions for electrical decorations and carefully inspect each one before plugging it in. Cracked sockets, and frayed, bare or loose wires can cause serious electric shock or start a fire.

Don’t use staples or nails to hang light strings, but instead purchase hooks or clips designed for hanging light strings.

Check packaging to determine the maximum number of strings that may be connected or only connect a maximum of three midget light strings or up to 50 bulbs of light strings with the screw-in bulbs.

Don’t overload extension cords by plugging in too many decorations, and turn off all electrical lights and decorations before leaving home or going to bed.

Candles should be kept away from decorations, curtains, bedding, paper, walls, furniture and other combustible materials.

Place candles away from spots where they could be knocked over by a person or pet.

Use only sturdy, non-combustible candleholders that can collect dripping wax and won’t tip over, and extinguish candles when two inches of wax remains or a half-inch of the candle is in a container.

Never use lit candles to decorate trees and extinguish them when leaving the room or going to sleep.

The Clinton County Firefighters Association advises using wooden or fiberglass ladders when near power lines and electrical wiring as metal ladders conduct electricity.

Make sure the ladder is the correct height for the job by ensuring that it extends three feet beyond the roofline or work surface.

High Peaks Hospice helps people cope with death and dying

mediately began to see the value in hospice care.

“If you go through that kind of experience you realize how physically, mentally and spiritually exhausting it can be,” Montbriand said.

Montbriand’s mother died of old age in Feb. 2006, the day after her 95th birthday. He became a hospice volunteer six months later and has now worked with about 30 patients.

The work has helped Montbriand understand that death is a natural part of life, and that it doesn’t necessarily have to be seen as a bad thing.

“A lot of people, when they get to the point where they can’t interact well with people, when they can’t remember situations and when they can’t take care of themselves, they’re ready to go,” Montbriand said. “I think as a society we need to honor that.”

Part of honoring that is accepting that, as people’s bodies begin to shut down, giving them comfort is paramount to improving their quality of life during their final days.

“We have this human desire to feed and nurture people when they are sick, but sometimes the body just doesn’t want food anymore,” Montbriand said. ““The quality of life issue becomes dominant. What I want for them is a peaceful death and as much family support as possible.”

The nature of Montbriand’s volunteerism means he often gets to know people who are close to death, and there are emotions involved in that which can be difficult to cope with.

Understanding the process of death helps him get through it, as does allowing for time to grieve.

“You don’t really know about dying until you get there,” Montbriand said. “We’re here to go through the mourning process, too.”

Jane Turlouw is also a volunteer for High Peaks Hospice, but she specializes in bereavement—helping family and friends of the deceased go through the mourning process.

After taking a post graduate class called children and death, Turlouw found she was interested in the topic and went back to school to get a graduate degree in counseling.

She has been a part of hospice care ever since.

For many grieving is a personal process, one that Turlouw approaches by only being as involved as the people need her to be. A part of that is letting them know that the pain they’re feeling is normal.

“You help people grieve by listening to their story—letting them vent, letting them talk, letting them relive the experience time and time again,” Turlouw said. “It’s helping them normalize their new life, their life without this partner.”

Turlouw worked in hospice in New Jersey for 20 years, and volunteered for High Peaks Hospice after moving to the area.

She said she loves the work, and that the people she’s helping have had a profound impact on her life.

“I feel that the people I came to know have given me more than I’ve given them,” Turlouw said.

since it was founded in 1986.

Even though hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most health management organizations and private insurance companies, some expenses, like bereavement and mileage reimbursement, are largely funded by donations and community support.

High Peaks Hospice also relies heavily upon volunteers like Frank Montbriand, who discovered hospice about five years ago.

Montbriand took care of his mother for two-and-a-half years in Hague with his sister and her husband.

After his family contacted High Peaks Hospice to assist in taking care of his mother toward the end of her life, he im-

Hospice care isn’t about giving up, it’s about making a decision—a decision that can define how the final days of a person’s life will be lived.

“The misconception is that hospice care is about dying or about giving up, and it’s not,” said Ingrid Roemischer, Development and Outreach Coordinator of High Peaks Hospice. “The patient is who we take care of. It’s still their life, it’s still their choice.”

When a doctor gives someone six months or less to live, they often have the option of staying in a hospital and receiving treatment. Hospice caregivers, like those who work and volunteer for High Peaks Hospice, can offer the patient, and the patient’s family, other options.

“A lot of people want to be home their last days, and we help them do that,” Roemischer said, adding: “It’s care, it’s not a cure.”

What Roemischer means is that the purpose of hospice is to offer support and to make a person’s last days as comfortable as possible.

High Peaks Hospice staff members become as involved as the family, and the patient, would like them to be, and will come to a person’s home, nursing home or hospital.

Staff can visit daily, or weekly, depending on a patient’s wishes, and can perform tasks that range from simple conversation to helping take care of the patient.

It’s what Roemischer refers to as the circle of care. In the center is the patient, and then the primary caregiver and the patient’s family. Around that is hospice, and then the doctor.

The bulls-eye is always the patient, the focal point of all factions of hospice care, and everyone with a diagnosis of six months or less to live is eligible.

“We do not turn people away based on age, gender, race, religion, or ability to pay,” Roemischer said.

It’s true that hospice focuses on the needs of the patient, but they are also there for the needs of the patient’s family.

“End of life can be very stressful for everyone involved,” Roemischer said. “Sometimes, the family just needs to get away for a few hours.”

High Peaks Hospice has served more than 5,600 patients and their families in Franklin, Essex and Warren counties

Our life coaches, Style and Substance: The darkness is closing in on me uary offers a natural time to make positive changes. Make plans to host a sledding or skating party with chili and hot chocolate or learn to x-country ski at an area ski center. Talk to friends and family about how you are feeling and brainstorm some fun ideas. Have a full moon party with some daring outdoor fun! Our intention here is to have things to look forward to!

Bundle Up! Hearty outdoor gear is a necessity to winter happiness. Essential pieces: down coat, lined boots, a scarf, hat, mittens, and gloves for driving. A white coat or reflective outerwear help out when taking the dog out, as being safe in the darkness is important! Keep your fuel bills down by wearing cozier clothes and a down vest around the house. Overdress for warmth and comfort every day and you will find that the “cold complaints” are all but eliminated from your daily mantra.

Blush!

Looking in the mirror in the bleak of winter, can tend to put a damper on our outlook as well. Gone is the lightly sunkissed skin of summer, so turn to tinted moisturizers and a little blush. Wear some color around your face, especially with all of the black we tend to turn to during the dark months!

Say “YES”!

Even when that “cold idea” sounds just awful…just say “yes”! Surprise yourself and others by trying new things, and finding out that you should have said “yes” many years ago.

Dear Style & Substance: We recently set the clocks back and I can already feel the darkness closing in on me. I am less likely to get anything done after work, and really have a hard time getting up in the morning. The thought of another North Country winter is pulling me down and I dread the next four months!

We hear you!! And if you somehow are lucky enough to evade this on a particular day, then there is certainly someone nearby who is vehemently complaining about it, or just plain lackluster and blue. People living in northern climates are very susceptible to SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Long, dark nights can drain us of energy and zest. The dark nights are a given, how you respond is up to you! A sense of adventure, a hale and hearty wardrobe, and a sense of humor can get you through the darkest hours of winter.

Often times we in the North Country forget that winter can be a time of great fun and opportunity, the joy comes from being well prepared. So, get your bag of blue busters armed and ready…preparedness is everything! Here are some suggestions of what to “pack” on your journey to Spring: Move!

The darkness and cold draw us toward hot chocolates, cozy fires, many piled high quilts, and more quiet (and thus sedentary) times. The North Country offers many opportunities for outdoor recreation: Downhill, X-Country, and Back Country Skiing, Snowshoeing, Ice Skating, Sledding, the list goes on….The key here is to invest some time and mental tenacity in keeping or getting your body moving every day; outside in the fresh air being best, or get to the gym, a yoga or zumba class…anything movement oriented will get and keep your attitude in a positive place. Remember the simple rule of “oh, what five minutes will do!”

Plan!

Winter seems to grow longer after the holiday season. Jan-

Laugh!

One inevitably hears, at some point during a North Country winter, “Cold enough for you?” Decide to answer with a sense of humor and a positive attitude – possible responses: No, I really enjoy those below zero days when I can wrap up in a down blanket and watch bad movies. Not yet, I am

Michele Armani and Sally Meisenheimer a big fan of absolute zero. (That one will make people go back and study high school science!) Yes, today is absolutely cold enough for me, my eyelashes are frozen together!

Acknowledging the difficulties of winter and then being ready to address them, will soften the blow of winter and help you enjoy a long season.

Touchscreen kiosks to find restaurants in Plattsburgh

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Finding a place to eat or somewhere to shop in Plattsburgh will merely require a touch.

That simple touch will provide information in both French and English.

The City of Plattsburgh is planning to launch PlattInfo, a mini network of walk-up touchscreen kiosks providing information in French and English for visitors to the city.

The kiosks will provide information about restaurants, shopping, recreation venues and events, as well as points of interest in the City of Plattsburgh.

A total of three PlattInfo kiosks will be available soon at the corner of Bridge and Durkee streets, on City Hall Place near Macdonough Monument and on Dock Street, which will be a seasonal kiosk.

“The welcome mat to Plattsburgh is out in French and English using the latest technology,” said City of Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak. “Plattsburgh is one of the first cities to use technology this way.”

The project is powered by FileMaker software, which provides a stable platform for the mini network being launched and a clear path to expansion.

Over the next few months, the database will be available over the web and on mobile devices, which will integrate with location data to help guide people around the city.

“PlattInfo will be particularly helpful for visitors using the Saranac Trail and boaters,” said PlattInfo Software Architect Jesse Feiler.

The Lake City Local Development Corporation administers the program.

PlattInfo is supported by kiosk advertising subscriptions sold by Media Central with assistance from the Plattsburgh State Marketing Club. Subscription information is available at www.PlattInfo.com or by contacting Josh Davis at Media Central by phone at 562-9708 or email: josh@emediacentral.com.

Saranac superintendent from page 1 source of energy, inspiration and commitment to produce graduates who are responsible, well-rounded adults.

“The student successes are genuinely valued, but striving to better meet each student’s needs has always been my core commitment since the students deserve nothing less,” Cringle said.

Cringle cannot think of a better occupation than to assist in the total development of young men and women.

He is grateful for the rewarding work experience he has enjoyed and hopes he has been able to make a positive difference in the youth of the community.

“Since every student is so unique, I can genuinely state that they each are as refreshing and inspiring as the next.”

He said the students and staff have provided him with delightful memories he will cherish, but it is time for him to retire.

“As much as I love this district, it is time that I shift my focus to my direct source of support, energy and inspiration: my family.”

“We priced subscriptions starting at $52 a year to make them affordable for the smallest business,” said PlattInfo Chair Carol McLean. “Everyone I have spoken to is very excited about this project. We expect to have more kiosks in the future.”

The City of Plattsburgh intends to share what it learned

7. Builds a sense of community: in an ever-increasingly fast-paced world, the desire to shop in places where everyone knows your name is stronger than ever.

8. Establishes one-of-a-kind character: every city wants to stand out with their own personality. Local business helps communities shape their perception to the outside world.

9. Stimulates area vitality: nothing succeeds like success.

10. Local business owners shop locally themselves: businesses need everything from supplies to workday lunches, and local attorneys, accountants, restaurants, office supplies and more supply their need.

They also tend to carry locally-produced goods, which further spurs small manufacturing and local artisan work that national chains will not take on.

2. Creates a bigger impact: one study shows that communities keep $68 for every $100 spent locally, while they keep $43 when $100 is spent at a chain store.

3. Shopping locally creates and preserves jobs: local businesses hire local people.

4. Provides the best value: when you look at what you get for your dollar, plus durability, it pays to shop locally.

5. Creates less pollution: local businesses generally use less land and resources and less travel in the area reduces air pollution.

6. Enables less taxes: strong local businesses increase the local tax base, thereby decreasing the need to further tax residents while increasing the revenue for local police, fire and infrastructure.

And it is not costing the town anything either.

“We knew there was a need for this,” Barcomb said.

He said town officials recently received a call from Regional Computer Recycling and Recovery to see if the municipality would be interested in its services.

The company takes the lead role in disposing of electronic waste that is later recycled. Items it collects include computer equipment, televisions and miscellaneous electronics.

“The town and customers pay nothing,” Barcomb said. “They supply the portable enclosure.”

The enclosure is located near the

Town of Champlain offices.

“We are allowing people to drop off electronic waste,” Barcomb said.

“There are very few places where people can get rid of computers and televisions.”

And there are a lot of people who need to get rid of such items as they upgrade their computers and purchase new televisions.

“Televisions are selling like hot cakes,” Barcomb said. “I just got my first flatscreen a year and a half ago.”

The site has been in place for a couple weeks and already the company has picked up two full containers.

He pointed out that the containers are not for air conditioners, loose light bulbs, batteries or trash. Anyone can use it, but Barcomb hopes it is not abused.

“If they start having to pick garbage out of it, they won’t want it to be here.”

He said town officials recently received a call from Regional Computer Recycling and Recovery to see if the municipality would be interested in its services.

The company takes the lead role in disposing of electronic waste that is later recycled. Items it collects include computer equipment, televisions and miscellaneous electronics.

“The town and customers pay nothing,” Barcomb said. “They supply the portable enclosure.”

The enclosure is located near the

“We are allowing people to drop off electronic waste,” Barcomb said.

“There are very few places where people can get rid of computers and televisions.”

And there are a lot of people who need to get rid of such items as they upgrade their computers and purchase new televisions.

“Televisions are selling like hot cakes,” Barcomb said. “I just got my first flatscreen a year and a half ago.”

The site has been in place for a couple weeks and already the company has picked up two full containers.

He pointed out that the containers are not for air conditioners, loose light bulbs, batteries or trash. Anyone can use it, but Barcomb hopes it is not abused.

“If they start having to pick garbage out of it, they won’t want it to be here.”

CHAZY EAGLES Lady Eagles ready for new season CHAZY — The Chazy Lady Eagles basketball program brings a unit that has experience playing together into the 2012-13 season.

The players will also be joined by firstyear varsity coach Liz Garrand, who coached many of the current varsity players at the modified level.

“These girls have tremendous potential as they have been playing together for years,” Garrand said. “Their love of the game is what will drive them to greater levels of play this season. I am excited to see what we can accomplish as we reunite.”

Garrand said that the team will return five players from last season, when it finished 69, including two seniors, Caitlin Kozak and Michaela Calhoon. Juniors Andrea Meshefsky, Ashley Gilmore and Courtney Gilmore also return.

CHAZY — The Chazy boys varsity basketball team will again come off the soccer field and right onto the basketball court.

With soccer stars Brandon Laurin, Justin Brothers and Craig Botten new ready to anchor the basketball squad, head coach Cory Thompson feels his team will be athletic.

“This year’s basketball team looks to be quick and powerful on both ends of the court,” Thompson said. “Returning to the lineup are Brothers, Botten and Laurin, along with juniors Hayden Guay and Alec Lapierre.”

Thompson said that with several other players back in the mix, he hopes the team will be in contention for the second ring in a Class D triple crown.

“This team looks to once again be a sectional contender in the league, and looks forward to playing together as a unified team this season.”

Head coach Frank Dumas said his team will work hard throughout the season as they look to improve on a 7-12 2011-12 record.

“Our goal is to be competitive in every game,” Dumas said. “We will lack size and depth and we will have some tough nights, but we will also push several teams to the limit because of hard work and dedication.”

SARANAC — The Saranac varsity boys hockey team is looking to a core of senior leadership to improve off a 4-16 2011-12 season.

“With nine seniors, size, strength and endurance will be key,” head coach Ed Davis said. “We will need to stay healthy and strong the entire season to compete for the playoffs.”

Davis said that the team was competitive last season, but lost a number of close games and will look to shore up their defense to turn those results around this year.

“We have decided to build the team around our goalies and defensemen,” he said. “With that, we look to turn around the L’s into W’s this year.”

Victoria Phaneuf is one of eight players that return from the Class B regional championship squad.

SARANAC — The Saranac girls varsity basketball team will look to reload after a season that saw them a game away from the state championships.

The Lady Chiefs finished the 2011-12 season with a 22-1 record, their only loss coming in the Class C state semifinals, and head coach Tim Newell hopes to keep the momentum.

“I am very excited about the upcoming season,” Newell said. “We have eight returning players back from last years team. We return a lot of experienced players as well as adding some very talented underclassman.

This is a very balanced, unselfish, hard working team.”

Newell said that one key will be to focus on the upcoming games and not dwell on the previous year.

“We had an unbelievable season last year making it all the way to the final four,” he said. “The girls need to understand that was last year and we need to refocus on this season. They know that it will take a tremendous amount of hard work this season to be successful. The CVAC will be very competitive this year. We have to bring our best effort everyday whether it be a practice or game.”

The Chiefs will return two starters from the Final Four team in sophomore point guard Kayla Napper and senior center Victoria Phaneuf who will lead the combination of team veterans and newcomers.

“They will be expected to show good leadership on and off the court,” Newell said.

“I’m very excited about our teams depth this year. I fell we can go 10 deep in our rotations.

Jeremy Bullis is one of five seniors returning to the Saranac lineup.

SARANAC — The Saranac varsity boys basketball team will look very familiar when it takes to the floor in 2012-13.

Head coach Brent Denis will look to the same starting five that he had last year in seniors Connor Christopherson, Austin Medeiros, Michael Conway, Jeremy Bullis and Nick Daniels.

“Our strength lies in our returning players,” Denis said. “Jeremy Bullis enters his fourth year of varsity basketball and Connor Christopherson who enters his third year have been exceptional leaders during the pre-season. They have taken the newcomers by the hand and showed them the value of hard work and commitment. We are very fortunate to have their leadership.”

Denis said that the team should be strong defensively and be able to make baskets anywhere on the offensive end.

“I am encouraged by our perimeter play and ability to shoot the ball,” he said.

While the starting five bring a wealth of experience, Denis said that his bench will have to learn the varsity game on the fly.

“As a result, I would not consider us deep but I do expect our younger talent to compete for a spot in the starting lineup,” he said.
