History-based quilt to help historical society

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com ROUSES POINT — A quilt commemorating women in history is now being raffled off to support the efforts of the Rouses Point-Champlain Historical Society.

The society previously raffled off a quilt in July, raising more than $360. With various projects in the helm, the group decided to try it again.

“We didn’t do any major fundraisers last year other than that one quilt,” explained society president Geri Favreau. “We have little projects that we would like to do that we have to have some funds for.”

Some of the projects include restoring the old D & H Railroad Station into a museum and reprinting the book “Rouses Point: Centennial Year, 1877-1977.”

When the society was deciding what to do for another fundraiser, member Carole PrevostMeier explained she had a king-size quilt that would work perfectly.

Prevost-Meier, co-owner of the quilt shop Fi-

bre Junction, explained the shop has a Block of the Month Club in which one block of a quilt is put together each month. To prepare for the first meeting, Prevost-Meier created a sampler last year entitled “Women of Influence.”

“I’ve always had the idea that I would donate that quilt,” said Prevost-Meier, “and when Geri spoke about a fundraiser, I just went ‘Click, this is it.’”

The quilt is based off the quilting book, “Women of Influence: 12 Leaders of the Suffrage Movement,” by Sarah Maxwell and Dolores Smith, with each block dedicated to a woman who worked for equal rights regardless of race and/or gender.

Those women include Amelia Jenks Bloomer, Sojourner Truth, Frances Perkins, Lucy Stone, Jane Addams, Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, Fanny Jackson Coppin, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mary Church Terrell, and Julia Ward Howe.

“When I made this quilt, I knew it had to be used as a symbol of the many contributions made by women throughout history,” said Prevost-Meier. “It was not a quilt I could keep for myself, but one that had to be shared. Women

are and have played a significant role in the history of the world; it’s high time history is rewritten to include their contributions.”

Tickets for the quilt raffle are currently for sale at $1 a piece, or six for $5. Tickets can be purchased at Corner-Stone Drug, Fibre Junction, Lakeside Coffee, or by contacting a member of the society. The raffle will be held Wednesday, March 16, at the American Legion on Pratt Street at which time there will be a program by Dr. John Southwick about his experiences as a local medical doctor and the time he spent in the military.

For more information, contact Mary Racicot at sara@primelink1.net or at 297-6138, or Karen Lamberton at lambcons@primelink1.net or at 298-4507.

(Editor’s Note: The quilt being raffled may be seen at Lakeside Coffee, 109 Lake St., Rouses Point.)

Looking at hot tech gifts Help with the banking errands

J

ody Gilbert, a longtime contributor to the TechRepublic blog, has released her list of the top geek gifts for 2010 which may be worth sharing for those with a geek on their list. Some of the gifts are less than $100; a few are quite higher.

Computer related items on the list starts with the most expensive gift of the lot with the Alienware M11x gaming laptop. It’s small but it packs a real wallop in computing ability. Next up is the Apple iPad, the most successful touch-based tablet ever released. The iPad does some things really well, like information consumption, and other things so-so, like word-processing.

For less than$100, the last gift suggestion is the Cyborg R.A.T 7 gaming mouse. The futuristic looking mouse designed for playing computer games can be found at many on-line retailers.

Toy-like devices on the list include the Parrot AR.Drone Wi-Fi quadricopter, Kinect for Xbox 360 and the LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0. The quadricopter is touted as a flying video game that can be controlled by an Apple device like an iPad, iPhone, etc and comes with two

cameras that are viewable on the controlling device. The Kinect is actually a sensing device that allows for Nintendo Wii style game play sans remote. Younger geeks may appreciate the LEGO Robot. The NXT 2.0 is the second generation Mindstorm with increased functionality over the first.

By Ron Poland Three entertainment devices round out Jody’s geek gift guide.

Amazon’s Kindle has been a huge success from day one; the new 3G model has a few noteworthy improvements. Vizio’s M470NV is a 47-inch LED LCD TV with 1080p definition, built-in Wi-Fi and Internet apps ready to go. The Roku XDS streaming media player marries a highspeed Internet connection to the TV in order to stream Internet content.

ll you wanted to do was cash your mother ’s Social Security check because she was too ill to go to the bank.

You planned to deposit most of it in her checking account, but she also needed some cash back to buy groceries. The bank teller was pleasant, but adamant that she could not do what you requested. You were angry, the teller was frustrated and when you reported back to your mother she just looked at you with an “I thought you could take care of this” expression.

Financial institutions find themselves walking a fine line between protecting the consumer, maintaining an adequate level of security and providing customer service. However, the financial institution has a responsibility to protect the accountholder from fraudulent attempts to take his or her funds. You, as a caregiver, are sometimes caught in the middle, but there are some actions your care partner and you can take to facilitate your efforts to help with most banking errands.

If you are in a position to regularly handle your care partner ’s financial business it may be appropriate for you both to speak to an attorney about preparing a Power of Attorney. Your

care partner can authorize you to legally transact business on his or her behalf. A Power of Attorney can designate you as an agent to perform any number of specific activities. Once you are named as an agent you can provide the financial institution with a copy of the POA document and do banking for your care partner by using that authority.

However, Treasury Department regulations do not permit a POA (either general or durable) to be used to negotiate Social Security or SSI checks. Even with a POA, a financial institution would not be able to cash a Social Security check for anyone other than the individual for whom it is payable. The very best strategy for banking Social Security benefits is to have the monthly payment deposited directly into your care partner ’s checking account.

Without a POA, the best way for you to access your care partner ’s account is with a personal check drawn on the account, made payable to you and signed by your care partner.

United Way helps many Our community has experienced some tough times in the past few years. Many of your friends, neighbors and co-workers need help today that they didn’t need two or three years ago.

The United Way campaign is one of the easiest ways to help give back to our community because 100 percent of the funds raised stay here in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties and directly support programs and services provided by our 36 partner agencies.

As a employee of the United Way, I have witnessed in the past year an increased utilization of all the agencies that United Way supports. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of meals served and people helped at the local food banks, for example. I believe this increase traces back to the economic crisis that Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties and the rest of the country has experienced since late 2008.

I am passionate about this campaign because I have seen firsthand just where a large percentage of our community stands today – our neighbors are hurting. But our community has always demonstrated the willingness to volunteer and contribute to these 36 United Way agencies who serve more than 80,000 people every year – and that number continues to grow.

Our campaign has an aggressive goal — to raise $750,000 this year. To achieve this goal, we have to engage more members of our community. If you have not donated in the past, you are the one that can make a difference in the lives of your neighbors who need it most.

Consider the few dollars you spend each week on coffee – that can add up to over $200 per year. You would be amazed how many people $200 per year could help.

I could go on and on with examples, but you know where our community is today. We always have had wonderful people here in Clinton, Essex, and Franklin Counties that truly care about their neighbors…and that is what really makes our community great.

Having that green Christmas

D

ecember brings much joy and celebration for us, with the holiday season, but December is also the darkest month of the year. The winter solstice, or shortest day of the year, is in December.

And, it is these shortened days and the solstice that has led to the tradition of decorating with greens to brighten up the hearth.

Holly was used by the Druids who believed its shiny leaves and red berries stayed green to keep the earth beautiful when oaks lost their leaves. In England it is said sprigs of holly around a girl’s bed are suppose to keep away mischievous little goblins. In Germany, a piece that has been used in church decorations is regarded as a charm against lightning. All of these references give light to “decking the halls with boughs of holly.”

Mistletoe was held sacred by the Norse, the Celtic Druids and the North American Indians. The Druid priests would cut mistletoe from an oak tree. They then divided the branches into sprigs and distributed them to the people, who hung them over doorways as protection against evil spirits. It was believed a sprig placed in a baby’s cradle would protect the child from goblins. Giving a sprig

to the first cow calving after New Year would protect the entire herd.

Coniferous evergreens symbolized new life and resurrection in many ancient European cultures. The ancient Celts decorated with greens for protection. The tradition of decorating the home with boughs of evergreen trees became a Christian tradition during the early Middle Ages.

An 8th century legend has the German St. Boniface cut down an oak tree, a symbol of paganism, and an evergreen tree spout up in its place.

Today, we continue to decorate with many of the same evergreens because of their inviting colors, textures, and smells. The best way to keep these greens looking their best during the holiday season, is to keep them away from direct heat sources including fireplaces, south facing windows, and heaters. Different conifers naturally hold their needles better than others such as noble fir and Frasier fir.

Cutting greens can be a family excursion into your woodlot, or they can be purchased from local nurseries or Christmas tree farms.

Anne Lenox Barlow has had experience in the agricultural field as a horticulture educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension in Clinton County. She can be reached by e-mail at a.lennox.barlow@gmail.com.

New museum a success Thank you from the Babbie Rural & Farm Learning Museum in Peru, New York, to all of the volunteers whose generous contributions during the past 18 months have enabled our museum to develop programs and improve our facilities. Indeed, without your gifts we would not yet have opened our doors to the public.

We are grateful to the volunteers who drove many miles to help with a myriad of on-site construction projects such as remodeling the facilities and building benches as well as rocking cows and horses for children to enjoy. We are also grateful to those who volunteered their time behind the scenes, whether at home on their computers, or by attending meetings in order to network with, and learn from, other museums. Thank you to those who spent long hours planning and hosting our official opening celebration and special weekend events as well as giving museum tours and demonstrations.

Without the support of volunteers like you, our non-profit organization could not accomplish its mission of providing an environment where visitors can learn about the heritage of New York’s rural and farm life. Your generosity has made quite an impact.

For more information about supporting the Babbie Rural & Farm Learning Museum located at 250 River Road, Peru, please visit our Web site at: http://sites.google.com/site/babbieruralfarmlearningmuseum. We can also be contacted by e-mail at babbieag309@yahoo.com or by phone at 643-8052 or 569-8715.

Biking to school? No, way! Not in this century!

percent of students who lived within two miles walked or took a bike to school. Now, it’s down to less than 9 percent and bike racks have been replaced by student parking lots.

As one student recently explained, “Bikes are fun, but not for school. If you’re 16 and still riding a bike to school ... well, it’s just not too cool.”

Digitally inanimate Today’s young men and women are aptly described as the “Digital Generation.” They came of age at a time when the world was connected as never before.

With the advent of computers, the Internet and cellular phones, today’s youth are encapsulated and ensnared by a technological bubble. Childhood has changed dramatically.

Today’s kids consider radio an ancient technology. As explained to me by an earphone-wagging fan, “Why wait for a DJ to

percent of Americans age 6 and older, or about 217 million people, participated in at least one activity.

However, this still leaves 33 percent or 64.6 million people who are inactive, even in the broadest definition of activity.

The report revealed the major activity increase has been in running/jogging, which is up 39.8 percent over the past decade. Activities including day hiking/8.4 percent, trail running/16.0 percent percent and snowshoeing/17.4 percent experienced similar increases.

On the flip side, activities reporting a decade long decrease include BMX bicycling/-43.6 percent, canoeing/-7.6 percent, freshwater fishing/-6.3 percent, flyfishing/17.1 percent and scuba diving/-36.7 percent It is estimated nearly 151 million Americans took part in at least one high calorie activity. This number drops to 78 million people who claim to be frequent participants in high calorie activities, less than one-third of the nation’s population above the age of six.

More than half of the adult population is sedentary; they do not participate in any physical activities. Although three-quarters of all student age respondents reported they took part in PE at school regularly, only about one-third participated in outdoor activities, team sports or cycling. Better than half (55.6 percent) of all school-age children reported being non-active outside of PE class.

ccording to a study released by The Outdoor Foundation, more than 137 million Americans participated in outdoor recreational activities last year. That figure represents nearly 50 percent of all Americans, age six and older.

However, the study failed to illustrate the growing inactivity crisis among our youth and the alarming disconnect that has been occurring nationwide between children and the outdoors.

In less than a generation, the United States has become a very mobile and consumptive nation. The average American household now has at least two cars in the garage, and often three. There are also about 2.7 cell phones per household and we use them more often than our landlines.

Over the same timeframe, the average number of bicycles owned has shrunk dramatically, nationwide. In the 1960s, 60 to 70

play a song I like, when my iPod is already full of them?”

Modern day children are extremely wellconnected. A recent Kaiser Family Foundation study reveals the average kid consumes 2.5 hours of music each day, as well as nearly five hours of TV and DVD movies, three hours of Internet and video games, and just 38 minutes of old-fashioned reading. The report did not even consider the time kids spent on the phone or texting and yet the average kid is currently connected for a combined 11.5 hours per day.

The burgeoning demands of “wired play,” which are often accomplished alone or with just one other kid, leave little time for Junior to ride a bike, take a hike or go skiing or sledding. Is it any wonder we are becoming an obese nation? You can’t throw a snowball or ride a sled on a Wii. This growing inactivity crisis among America’s youth and the quiet disconnect between youth and the outdoors may have serious consequences unless it is addressed in the near future.

Avoiding infection focus of AIDS Awareness Month T Wondering he month of December is World AIDS Awareness Month, most commonly recognized for World AIDS Day, celebrated Dec. 1. Each year, since 1988, World AIDS Day has served as an important reminder the fight against HIV is far from over. This year ’s theme was “Universal Access and Human Rights” because most people in poor countries cannot get the care and services they need to treat HIV and AIDS. Universal access to prevention and care is seen as a basic human right and is also a key factor in fighting the global HIV and AIDS epidemic.

In the U.S. someone is affected with HIV about every 9 1/2 minutes. That’s 56,300 new infections each year. More than 14,000 Americans still die from HIV disease each year and one in five people with HIV don’t know they have the infection. Many may be spreading HIV to others without knowing it.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, “HIV testing is entering a new era in this country as lawmakers,

health care and insurance executives, and public health officials are making changes in their respective fields to ensure that more people will know their HIV status — an important consideration for maintaining health and reducing the spread of the virus.”

All doctors, nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants in New York State must offer HIV testing to patients at the doctor ’s office or in hospitals, including Emergency Departments.

World AIDS Day is a time for all to ask others to talk openly and honestly about the behaviors that spread HIV and about how to stay healthy. The following list reminds all to be responsible for their own health and protect others.

• Find out if you have HIV. If you have ever had sex or injected drugs (even once) you are at risk — get tested for HIV. • Talk about HIV with sex partners and get tested regularly for HIV and sexually transmitted infections.

• Fewer sexual partners reduces risk of infection.

where you can turn?

The following agencies can provide a confidential HIV test. Condoms and advice about how to avoid the spread of HIV infection are also provided.

• AIDS Council of Northeastern New York — 5632437 • Clinton County Health Department (can provide anonymous testing) — 565-4848 • Northern Adirondack Planned Parenthood — 561-4430.

• Use condoms every time you have sex.

• Women who are pregnant should get tested for HIV early in pregnancy. One test can save two lives.

• If you have any ongoing risk of exposure to HIV, get tested at least once a year.

• If you have HIV, take your medications as prescribed to reduce the chance of spreading HIV and get regular medical care.

Hungry and festive? Then, try this tasty holiday treat!

N

ow, this is not something I usually write about, however, living a healthy lifestyle is not about deprivation, but about all things in moderation.

This tasty holiday treat falls into the category I wrote about a few weeks ago, where you have it for a special occasion and that is it.

This homemade bar will be free from added sweeteners, oils, and preservatives.

You will get an added antioxidant blast from the dark chocolate and cherries, and a healthy dose of fiber. At about 150 calories per serving, this is a treat that can be enjoyed without guilt, in moderation. This super tasty treat makes a great gift and can be a fun family project.

Holiday Fruit and Seed Bark 3/4 cup dried cherries or cranberries (I like to mix them) 1/4 cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds) 1/4 cup raw sunflower seed kernels 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger 7 ounces dark chocolate (70 percent or greater) Combine cherries/cranberries, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and ginger in a bowl and stir them well. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty foil and chill

the pan.

Place the chocolate in a double boiler or heatproof bowl and cook over simmering water, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted. Stir in half of the fruit and seed mixture and spread onto the prepared, chilled pan. Using a spatula spread the chocolate mixture as evenly as possible into an 11x9 inch rectangle. Immediately sprinkle the remaining fruit mixture evenly over the top of the chocolate mixture and chill for about 10

minutes.

Break into about 10, 3-inch pieces and serve or keep chilled for later use.

This bark should be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and should keep for up to three weeks.

Library From page 1 School, has been helping out various organizations through the Scholastic Book Fair. This year, she chose to help a fellow library.

Pepper explained Scholastic, a children’s publishing company, has a program called “One for Books,” which encourages students to raise funds to buy books from the book fair.

Classrooms throughout the school worked to raise donations, which totaled nearly $250, and purchase books for the Chazy Public Library.

“This year I thought, ‘Why not support the local community and have it benefit another library,’” Pepper explained.

On the final day of the book fair, which was held in November, Chazy Public Library director Francie Fairchild came over and chose the books she knew she needed for the library.

“I’ve gone over to Scholastic and bought things for the library before,” Fairchild explained, “but this was really lovely.”

Pepper also had a special contest amongst the classrooms, with the one to raise the most money being allowed to bring the books over to Fairchild at the library.

“Mrs. [Sandra] Walsh’s fifth grade class raised the most money,” said Pepper. “I believe they had over $50 in their room alone.”

On Dec. 2, students in Walsh’s classroom walked across the street to the public library to deliver Fairchild 30 children’s books.

“That was special,” Fairchild said of having the students bring her the books. “That is such a nice class.”

To make the short field trip more special, the students walked from the current library to the location of the future library on Fiske Road.

“I think it’s important that the children see [the new library],” Pepper said. “Just showing them where the new location is going to be might [make it] easier for some of them to access.”

Utilizing Scholastic to help the public library is something Pepper saw as a “win-win situation.”

“We got sales from the books that she pur-

chased, we raised money for her library, and Scholastic, for however much money you raise, they make donations,” Pepper said, adding two books are given to various organizations or charities for every dollar raised.

“Mrs. Fairchild works so hard in the public library and does a wonderful job,” added Pepper.

“I’m really looking forward to working more closely with her.”

Girl Scouts give back with Thanksgiving baskets

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com CHAZY — Girl Scouts live to serve their communities, and Thanksgiving is a time of year when that mission takes on a special meaning.

In the town of Chazy, Girl Scouts were busily preparing Thanksgiving dinner baskets for underprivileged families and senior citizens last week, just in time for the holiday. Service unit manager Lisa M. Panetta said it’s been a tradition in the community for more than six years.

“The girls each bring a nonperishable food item that would be part of a Thanksgiving dinner,” said Panetta, “and we get turkeys donated and buy the rest with some funds we have and the troop leaders buy items, too.”

Through Chazy Central Rural School, the Girls Scouts are put in touch with families interested in receiving free Thanksgiving baskets, said Panetta. Sacred Heart Church gives the troops names of senior citizens who would appreciate a basket as well. The items collected are then divided equally into baskets for as many families and seniors citizens as needed, with six baskets assembled this year.

“When you see the girls’ faces when people receive them, it’s amazing,” said Panetta.

Girl Scout Kaelen Billow of Champlain said she enjoyed sorting the food and putting it into the baskets, knowing she was doing something good for the community.

“It made me feel considerate and caring,” said the 6-year-old Billow. “It made me happy.”

“I think it’s awesome, allowing the kids to do this,” said her mother, Susan Billow. “I never had this experience when I was younger.”

Seven-year-old Sydney Hampston of Chazy, another Girl Scout, said she was happy to help.

“It felt good because we were helping people with their Thanksgiving. We made it a lot easier for them,” she said.

“I think it’s great the kids get an opportunity to help the community they live in,” added her mother, Christina Hampston.

“This is her third year as a Scout and each year she picks up a little more from these activities and understands and appreciates what she has a little more.”

The baskets are just part of what the Girls Scouts do on a regular basis, said Panetta.

Other activities have included visiting nursing homes, sending cards to members of the military and caroling during the holidays.

“We do something just about every month,” said Panetta. “We want to teach them to be involved in the community.”

Tree lighting this Saturday

Kissing ball workshop Dec. 11

PLATTSBURGH — The North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, 23 Brinkerhoff St., will host its second annual Tree Lighting Ceremony this Saturday, Dec. 11.

The family-style celebration will start at 7 p.m. and offer gift-creating activities for kids, hot cocoa, cookie decorating and caroling performed by area school choirs and the Barbershoppers. Other activities will be offered throughout the evening including story telling and songs, ice sculpting, as well as the NCCCA holiday gift shop filled with one-of-a-kind items from local artisans.

After the tree lighting, the NCCCA will host a closing reception for the “North Country Portfolio” exhibit by artist Diane Fine, for which she acted as master printer. The project included four accomplished artists from the region Charles Atwood King, Noreen Sadue, Barbara Ida and Karen Lamite King, and gave them the opportunity to make etchings for the first time. The prints in the portfolio are linked through their botanical theme, an outgrowth of the Artist in the Garden events so generously hosted by the kings over the last decade.

The portfolio includes two etchings from each artist and a title page. A portion of the portfolios will be framed and some will be housed in hand-made drop-spine boxes.

The prints and portfolio will be raffled off to raise money for the not-for-profit arts organization.

School store relocates, expanding inventory and focus

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PERU — The school store at Peru High School now has a little more elbow room.

The store, known as “The Lodge,” recently reopened in a new and expanded location just footsteps away from its former home, giving the student Entrepreneurs Club the ability to increase what the store has to offer.

“We’ve been trying to get a bigger location for some time and this year, with some changes being made at the school, we were able to get a bigger spot,” said Business Education teacher Mike Zerrahn, who serves as faculty advisor over the store.

The store was moved to the former in-school suspension room over the summer and fall months, said Zerrahn, relocating it from a room that was “not much bigger than a broom closet.”

“We had a Dutch door on it, so, at one time, you just waited on students through the door,” Zerrahn said of the store’s former location.

“Then, a few years back, we changed it to make it more of a walk-in store, but it was still just so small.”

The new space is four times the size of the old one, which Zerrahn feels will have a direct impact on how successful the store can be and how much the students who run the store can learn.

“Now, instead of just snacks and a couple Tshirts, we have room to sell things like review

books, rather than kids having to run out to get one to study for their Social Studies test or their Earth Science test, for example,” he said. “It makes it a little more convenient for the students.

And, it gives the kids running the store a little bit more experience selling different things.”

Through the store, Zerrahn’s students, who make up the Entrepreneurs Club, are able to extract what they learn in class and apply it to a working business model.

“It ties in with what they learn in class,” said Zerrahn. “They’re in charge of ordering inventory, finances and day-to-day operations like promoting the store and running specials. It gives the kids a lot more hands-on experience by putting the lessons we’re talking about to practical use.”

Junior Taylor Rock is volunteering in the store for her first time this year, and said she values the experience.

“This is my first real look into the business world. I haven’t had a job,” said Rock. “It’s a good experience, working with money, working with a register and watching over the store ... making sure everything runs smoothly.”

The expanded location is also something she believes will help with increasing customer traffic.

“There’s room for a lot more inventory, so I think we’re going to have more sales compared to last year,” Rock predicted.

Peru High School’s school store, known as “The Lodge,” recently reopened in a new and expanded location.

counting in college and the experience he’s getting from working at the store will be invaluable.

“It’ll definitely help me in my career,” said Kenny.

Zerrahn agreed.

“Whether you’re applying to college or to

work, it’s a great résumé filler,” he said. “You’re doing something above and beyond what a lot of other kids are doing. You’re running a business.”

What I want is...

Santa Claus took time from his busy holiday season to meet with children at the Peru Community Church Fellowship Center Dec. 3. Santa arrived downtown for the town’s annual Christmas tree lighting and spent time talking to kids at the center, where many holiday activities were hosted. Here, Andrew Mazzella tells Santa what he’d like for Christmas this year.

When looking for the perfect gift this holiday season, the best place to start is with your hometown , locally-owned businesses. These businesses are an important part of the local economy, providing goods and service s that are not only as good as those found in big-box retailers, but many times, also offered for the same prices o r better. Forget the common misconception shopping at big discount stores is better for your wallet — it’s not always the case. And, just remember, every dollar you spend in your community benefits local shopkeepers, many of whom are your neighbors and friends.

Whether it’s buying a new bicycle for your son or daughter, a diamond necklace for your wife or buying dad that set of golf clubs he’s been wanting since last summer, there are businesses in your community that c an provide you virtually everything you need this gift-giving season. And, in many cases, if they don’t have it in stock, chances are they can order just what you need in time to place it under the tree!

Do yourself a favor — and your community — shop locally this time of year and throughout the rest of the year!

Some newspapers will tell you anything to get your advertising dollars.

You want to be sure you are getting the circulation you are paying for.

That’s why Denton Publications has been audited by Circulation Verification Council, a national, independent newspaper auditing firm.

Don’t just believe what you are told by newspaper advertising reps — ask for proof.

Snowmobile safety courses designed to keep people riding, says instructor

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com MORRISONVILLE — Robert Robare has been teaching snowmobile safety courses offered by the state Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation for more than 30 years and what he wants most of all is for people to be safe when heading out for a leisurely ride on the trails.

“Before you ride, there’s a lot of things you need to know,” said Robare. “That’s what we talk about with the course. It’s a safety program where we talk about everything from A to Z.” The state-certified course goes over the history of snowmobiling and how it’s changed over the years, said Robare. The background on the sport, he added, gives context to how people are able to enjoy riding today, and underscores how safety measures and laws have been put in place to keep people out of harm’s way.

“We talk about how snowmobiling started out with an old Model T with skis on it, then we talk about what are the laws — what you can and can’t do, where you can ride and where you can’t ride and so forth,” explained Robare.

“There’s some that take even the adults by surprise.”

One of the main ways to stay safe on your snowmobile, said Robare, is knowing your machine before you even get on it.

“We talk about knowing how to maintain your snowmobile and about preparing it for the

season,” he said. “We talk about properly starting your snowmobile and all the things you need to do before you even ride.”

That includes even preparing oneself for harsh riding conditions like below-freezing

temperatures and harsh winter winds.

“We talk about how to dress properly in layers and in something that’s waterproof,” said Robare. “We also talk about planning, like telling someone where you’re going and when

you’re going to return.”

Considering more than 80 percent of the trails in New York State traverse private property, said Robare, another thing he focuses on in his course is operator courtesy.

“Riding is a privilege,” said Robare. “That’s why we talk about courtesy. Sure, you can litter on these trails, but don’t be surprised next year when they’re closed.”

Robare also emphasized New York State law requires youths between the ages of 10 and 18 must first complete a certified snowmobile safety course in order to operate a snowmobile on any property other than that owned by their parents or guardians.

“Unfortunately, a lot of people are out there breaking the law,” said Robare.

The Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department will sponsor Robare’s next state-certified snowmobile safety course which will be held over two days, Monday, Dec. 27, and Friday, Dec. 31, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. both days. The course will be held at the Town of Plattsburgh Office Building, 151 Banker Road, Plattsburgh, and will be open to any Clinton County youth between ages 10 and 18, who wishes to complete the course and receive a safety certificate.

There is no fee for the course. Participants must attend both sessions.

Those wishing to take the course must register prior to Wednesday, Dec. 22, by calling the recreation department at 562-6860, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
