Lake City books gives books, owner a second chance

By Shawn Ryan PLATTSBURGH Ñ ThereÕ s a new place to shop for books in Plattsburgh, and for the owner of Lake City Books, itÕ s something he seems like he was born to do.

A lifelong resident of Plattsburgh, Steve McDonald just about grew up in a downtown bookstore. His mother owned the HalfPriced Bookstore on Margaret Street from the mid-1970s to the 1990s. Working there was McDonald’s first job. Ò IÕ ve kind of got bookstores in my blood,Ó says McDonald. Ò My mom owned a bookstore; my brother owns a bookstore in Burlington. ItÕ s just kind of in the blood.Ó But after he went to college, McDonald entered the business world, working in sales for various companies. He might still be there; if a cancer diagnosis hadnÕ t forced him from the workforce and into the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center. The prognosis for recovery was bleak, says McDonald, and he credits the team at Fitzpatrick for seeing him through debilitating rounds of chemotherapy, and out on the other side. But it was a recovery that kept him out of work for a couple years, and when he contemplated re-entering corporate America, he looked at the sizable gap in his employment history and knew that he would have trouble

Local business finds its niche

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Sugar and Spice Intimates might not have something for everybody, but for the average woman looking for a clean, comfortable place to pamper herself, or pick up a novelty item for that tongue in cheek gift for a friend, it might just be your place.

Owner Emily Laplante carries an eclectic selection of massage and essential oils, vintage jewelry, candles, skin care products, lingerie, bachelorette party supplies and other novelties. She had worked at a similarly themed store in Burlington in the past, but had always harbored the dream of being her own boss. Ò I carry all sizes of lingerie, small to 3X, because every woman should be able to go in and find something that makes them feel sexy or beautiful. IÕ m not catering just to the tiniest of the tiny,Ó says Laplante.

Mooers students in the spirit of Christmas giving

About 150 third, fourth and fifth grade students at Mooers Elementary School spent the days leading up to Christmas collecting food for the local food pantry, in lieu if giving each other gifts.

Photo by Shawn Ryan

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com MOOERS Ñ Students at Mooers Elementary have given up their tradition of exchanging gifts, and instead have worked for weeks to raise food for the local food pantry.

About 150 students from the third, fourth and fifth grades have been bringing in boxes and cans, and they are taking much

more from the experience they would from a toy.

“I think it’s going to help our community,” said fifth grade student Julianna McIntyre. Ò It makes me feel happy.Ó The pile of food collected by students takes up an entire cafeteria table, and children the pride of their accomplishment was apparent as they showed off the fruits of their efforts. Ò ItÕ s a good way to help people who are in need of food. IÕ d rather do food, IÕ d rather give than get,Ó said fourth grader Donovan Garrow.

The food will be going to the Mooers Wesleyan Food Pantry, which serves families from Rouses Point to Mooers Forks.

Churches from several denominations in those localities donate to the food pantry, which is also part of the regional food pantry network. Ò I canÕ t stress enough how appreciative we are for the volunteers and for people who make donations, especially at this time of year,Ó said Diane Gillette of the food pantry.

History buff receives Knapp North Country Scholarship PLATTSBURGH Ñ North Country native Morgan Judkins has a passion for local history, and, now Ñ thanks to a scholarship Ñ sheÕ ll be able to breathe a little easier while she pursues that passion.

The six-year Kent Delord House Museum volunteer and Battle of Plattsburgh re-enactor was awarded the 2013 Knapp North Country Scholarship Ñ a merit-based scholarship for qualified students from Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton counties. North Country scholarships are

funded by gifts from local businesses and individuals, which support highachieving local students.

JudkinsÕ scholarship, funded by the Champlain Telephone Company, was renamed in 2009 to honor the late Edit and Kenneth Knapp. Edith was the executive vice president of the Champlain Telephone Company and a benefactor to many residents of the Champlain region. In addition to serving on the SUNY Plattsburgh College Council, Kenneth was the youngest mayor of Mooers, N.Y.,

elected at age 18.

Judkins was thrilled when she learned about the scholarship during her graduation from Northeastern Clinton Central School. She knew the gift would make it easier for her to keep reliving history while she got her education close to home. Ò I picked Plattsburgh because IÕ ve lived here my whole life,Ó the freshman said, Ò and being a part of the Battle of Plattsburgh is something thatÕ s really important to me.Ó JudkinsÕ desire to be a veterinarian

led her to choose biochemistry as her major, but she was still able to pick up history as a minor. Ò History as a minor is a hobby, something I enjoy,Ó she said. Ò Biochemistry keeps my career options open.Ó Judkins is grateful to the Knapps and other North Country donors for the respite from some of the strain of paying for her education by herself.

She thanks them Ò for lifting some of the burden off of college.Ó

Opinion North Countryman Editorial

A new air of cooperation I

t was always about striking a balance Ñ and to the credit of Adirondack Park Agency Commissioners, that is exactly what the new land-use plan put forth for the Essex Chain of Lakes does.

The new land classification adopted for the Essex Chain of Lakes Ñ known as Ò preferred alternative 2A” — classifies eight water bodies in the Essex Chain tract as primitive, allowing for motorless paddling. First and Pine lakes will remain open to floatplanes and access points will be strategically located in Wild Forest, to ensure easy access to all.

Some of the most wild sections of the former Finch Pruyn lands Ñ the Hudson River Gorge and OK Slip Falls Ñ will be forever protected under a Wilderness classification.

Perhaps more importantly for local communities, the plan calls for a narrow strip of Wild Forest through the corridor Ñ following and utilizing existing roads and infrastructure Ñ that will provide a critical link for recreational opportunities like mountain biking and snowmobiling between Essex and Hamilton counties.

It will also allow access to the Wilderness corridor for those who would otherwise only be able to stare at it on a map, and gives at least some conciliation to hunting and fishing leaseholders who have or will lose access.

Many officials, residents and business owners in the five towns bordering the tract have said that opening it to as many recreational users as possible is key to drawing people and jump starting local economies.

Business owners like Ruth and Dave Olbert of Cloud-Splitter Outfitters in Newcomb have said they would like to expand, but need a classification that would attract people to town before making the investment.

It now appears those pleas did not fall on deaf ears.

To be honest, we were skeptical that the voices of Adirondack Park officials and residents wouldnÕ t once again be droned out by the wishes of downstaters and environmental groups.

It seems Adirondackers have long taken the back seat when it comes to land use regulations here, even though we truly have the most to gain or lose. Over and over again political persuasion has been won over by the huge voting contingent outside the Blue Line and the deeppocketed members of green groups Ñ many of whom also do not reside here full-time.

Few can argue that it has torpedoed the regionÕ s economy Ñ and census statistics showing a dwindling population here support that.

It is what created the Ò us versus themÓ mentality Ñ and radical factions on both sides of

the isle raised their ugly heads.

But alas, it seems there is a new sense of cooperation in the air. It seems we have a governor who truly cares about the livelihood of Adirondackers; APA commissioners who are willing to balance environmental stewardship with economic viability and local environmental groups that are agreeing to compromise.

Following an extensive public comment period and while the APA was struggling with classifying the more than 22,000 acres of former Finch Pruyn land purchased by the Nature Conservancy and then sold to the state, Gov. Cuomo visited with various stakeholders in late September of this year. At that time, green groups were calling for a Wilderness classification for nearly all of the Essex Chain of Lakes.

In turn, local officials and residents in the five towns impacted by the sale and classification Ñ North Hudson, Indian Lake, Newcomb, Minerva and Long Lake Ñ were calling for a less restrictive Wild Forest designation.

After meeting with both sides, Cuomo held a press conference at Gore Mountain in North Creek and also called for balance. Ò We need to preserve the Park. We also need economic development. We need activity. We need revenues. And you have to balance the two,Ó he told the crowd and government leaders who had assembled that day.

That balance turned out to be preferred alternative 2A Ñ and the stars started to align.

Both the Adirondack Council and Adirondack Mountain Club came out in favor of preferred alternative 2A, as did Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman William Farber and Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas before it was unanimously approved by APA commissioners Dec. 13.

Some of the most radical warring factions we spoke of earlier opted to dig their feet in the sand and bemoan the fact that they werenÕ t getting everything they were after, but for the most part those around the negotiating table each walked away with at least a small win.

ItÕ s called compromise Ñ and isnÕ t that what successful negotiating is all about?

Prior to the APA commissionerÕ s vote, Farber and Douglas said the land classification is “exciting and historicÓ and will Ò set the stage for a much brighter future for our communities.Ó We couldnÕ t agree more, but perhaps even more exciting is the concept of a future where entities like green groups, local officials, Adirondackers and state leaders can work together to achieve compromise.

Now thatÕ s historic. Ñ

Style & Substance: on finding joy

Denton Publications, Inc.

Northern Office

December 21, 2013

Dear style & substance: I always read about holiday stress, how many people dread shopping, family gatherings, the pressure of finding the right gift, etc. My question is different, I love Christmas but in this season of celebration I often feel a sense of melancholy. I think about people who are alone, families who have suffered a loss, and just the world in general. How do I make sense of it all?

We think you are asking, Ò Where is the JOY?Ó In this season of peace on Earth, goodwill to all, the answer to this question can help us celebrate the season in meaningful and calming ways.

From Michele: The question, Ò WhereÕ s the JOY?Ó is one my sisters-in-law and I ask ourselves when we gather together. Years ago my sister-in-law, Karin, asked me for something, maybe it was jam and I thought she said joy. I answered, Ò it is right here, itÕ s everywhere, itÕ s usÉ Ó . And so a lack of hearing correctly created the expression that has taken root in our family history. The gentle reminder that joy is always with us keeps us strong in the many moments of struggle that happen in life.

And From Sally: I too am overwhelmed by the hopelessness I see in faces on the street (yes, in Plattsburgh) and by hearing of peopleÕ s struggles and deep concerns. Even though it is upsetting, I see the JOY from the caring that so many have in reaching out, in stopping and listening, in a hug or a gentle touch, an unexpected invitation, a declaration of friendship, and in never passing by the Salvation Army bucket without dropping in a coin or a bill and whispering a prayer. When I see something sweet and endearing, I stop and soak it in, breathe it in, arming myself with the goodness that is everywhere. I also canÕ t tell myself enough that the real blessing and JOY is always in the giving of time and love, so much more than in the receiving.

Any act grounded in our individual response to gratitude is a celebration. We have found that small acts of genuine kindness and sincerity most often become those habits which regularly bring us the most joy and connection with others. Trying to find meaning in a grand gestures is often an act of futility. While easier, the grand gesture can lead to those feelings of melancholy because it is giving without real connection.

Some tips on finding your JOY: •Share a sweet moment with someone; tell a funny or touching story and you will find that they pass it on!

•Ask someone to have coffee NOW, not in a Ò we should get togetherÓ kind of way •Pay close attention to those around you; give a compliment. Kind words are always remembered long after they are spoken.

•Make that phone call to a friend or shut in that you have just been Ò too busyÓ to make •Choose not to raise your voice in anger or when upset. Imagine you are on the receiving end of what you are about to say, how would you feel?

•Hug someone for 20 seconds every day. A twenty second hug releases oxytocin, also known as the Ò love drug.Ó Science supports this finding, but the heart already knew it was a good thing.

Happy Holidays to our readers, for whom we are always grateful. LIFE COACHING is a great way to start your new year in tune with your own or a loved ones wishes to meet personal, relationship and employment goals….gift certificates available… call us for an appointment, 578-6396.

Former Marines shave their heads for a good cause

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com ALTONA Ñ Whenever a bunch of Marines get together on a Friday night, someone might just end up with their head shaved.

ThatÕ s exactly what happened last Friday, Dec. 13 at the Rainbow Banquet Hall in Altona, and it was for a good cause. Members of North Country Honor Flight teamed up with the Teens for Marines/Toys for Tots campaign to raise toys and money for needy North Country children. Their fund-raising plan: bid on whether or not the Marine gets a regulation Ò High and TightÓ haircut. The Marine could bid to save his hair, and the money raised went to Toys for Tots.

Honor Flight also brought toys they had collected leading up to the event, and auctioned off Honor Flight Teddy Bears as well.

The Marines, notably among them Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting and North Country Honor Flight Director Danny Kaifetz, all lost in the end, and left looking much more like they did when they left Parris Island than they had when they started the night. Ò Anyone can talk the talk,Ó said Kaifetz, who needed the added push of his friendsÕ rendition of the Marine Corps Hymn before he would sit in the barberÕ s chair. Ò Last time I was shaved by the Marine Corps was 43 years ago. So you just know when you need to do the right thing, and we raised close to $3,000 tonight, with the toys

Honor Flight provided, the bears and the cash.Ó What Kaifetz ended up with might not have been a regulation high and tight, but his surly mane was quaffed substantially by nightÕ s end.

But the Marines werenÕ t the only ones getting into the spirit. Teens for Marines/Toys for Tots was started last year by Emily Estes, who is still not quite a teen herself. She came up with the idea for a dance for anyone who wanted to come, with the cover charge being an unwrapped toy.

The Rainbow donated both the space and the D.J. for the event both last year and this year.

The first year they held the benefit they packed the Marine recruiterÕ s car with toys. This year they were hoping to need a truck for the haul. A couple dozen teens and young people brought toys, and danced on one side of the Blue Room, while haircuts went on in the other end. Ò Can you imagine all the toys we can buy with that money?Ó EmilyÕ s mother Carol asked her daughter near the end of the night.

Carol was the behind the scenes force behind getting Teens for Marines off the ground, challenging her daughter a year ago to Ò Do something to change the world.Ó As she did most of the night, Emily just smiled, seemingly overwhelmed that her dance idea had become this big, and the good it would do for local children.

Toys raised by the Marine CorpsÕ Toys for Tots stays in the local community, helping local children.

Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting receiving a Marine Corps. “High and Tight,” to raise money for the Teens for Marines/Toys for Tots drive December 13. Cutting was one of several former Marines to lose their locks for the cause.

Lake City Books From page 1

competing in the tight job market.

Owning a bookstore had always hovered somewhere in the back of McDonaldÕ s mind, and now seemed like the time. He discussed the idea with his wife Chris, and she was behind the idea. But McDonald was starting from scratch. He didnÕ t even know how to get on Facebook. Ò Without her this never would happen. Without her, and her saying that you can do this, this place would not be here,Ó McDonald said.

He started small this past summer, collecting used banana boxes from Price Chopper and filling them with garage sale finds on weekends. Then he found his holy grail; a used bookstore in Connecticut that was going out of business. After haggling for a while over price, he was off to Connecticut with Chris and his daughter in the biggest U-Haul truck he had ever driven. When he returned to Plattsburgh, the truck was full, and all he needed was a space.

That fell into place as well, when he found a space at 164 Boynton Avenue. He now works the crowd at the bustling bookstore like a man doing what he was meant to do.

“When you first get that diagnosis, it really opens up your eyes to a lot of things. It really puts into perspective what is important.Ó The shelves of the cozy space are packed with used and remaindered books, and he is constantly taking in new titles, along with the numerous banana boxes he still has in his garage waiting for space. Coffee and some pastries round out the motif, and business so far has been brisk.

McDonald doesnÕ t worry about the nay-sayers who predict the end of the printed book. ThereÕ s something about a book, he says, that will keep people coming back, so they have something they can hold in their hands.

ThereÕ s something too about a second hand book, that has been given a second chance at doing what it was meant to do.

McDonald was given a second chance as well, and he is making the most of it.

STAR program changes in works Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com There is a major change in store for the New York State STAR tax reduction program.

The STAR tax reduction, which previously carried over from year to year, will have to be re-applied for between September and December 31. If you do not re-apply for the reduction, you will forfeit it.

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has timplimented a new system, with applications now being made online at www.tax.ny.gov. You will use your social security number to identify you with your primary residence, in order to cut down on the people filing for STAR for more than one residence.

You will then receive a STAR code in the mail, which will be used to go back online and complete the application.

The proceedure is slightly different for Enhanced STAR, where participants will have to find out through the website if they will need to re-apply every year.

You can also register by calling (518) 457-2036 Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 8:00 pm Saturday, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm For telephone assistance for the hearing or speech impaired (by TDD): Call 518-485-5082; or Dial 711 to get the NYS Relay Service and provide the operator with the phone number 518457-2036

APA

From page 1 Pruyn.

The purchase included lands known as the Essex Chain Lakes Tract, Indian River Tract, OK Slip Falls Tract and the OSC Tract.

The board also recommended the reclassification of existing state lands in the adjacent Hudson River Primitive Area, Blue Mountain Wild Forest and Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest.

The commissioners opted for preferred alternative 2A, dependent upon a bridge being constructed to connect lands across the Cedar River. The option called for a mix of land classifications, creating five new Forest Preserve Units and a multi-use Wild Forest corridor between the Primitive and Wilderness Units.

With approval, APA Executive Director Terry Martino will complete the SEQRA process before APA Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Leilani Ulrich sends the proposal to the desk of Gov. Andrew Cuomo for final approval.

After two full days of meetings focused on the land classification, Ulrich gave each member of the board a chance to speak on the matter before asking for a vote. Ò It has been a remarkable time for the Adirondacks,Ó Ulrich said. Ò From the entire state going forward on Propositions 4 and 5 to the regional council economic awards. I hope we can all have some time over the holidays to assimilate what that has all meant.Ó Ulrich also gave credit to the governor for being an advocate of the Adirondacks. Ò I thank the governor not only for his leadership and encouragement but also his love for the Adirondacks,Ó she said. Ò You can see the new excitement in the park because of what he has done.

With these steps, 130,000 Adirondackers have truly been connected to 19 million New Yorkers.Ó Ò This resolution strongly protects the resources both on the east side of the Hudson and the west,Ó Commissioner Richard Booth said. Ò There are many voices in this discussion and lots of people have made compromises. Without those, I do not think we would not have gotten close to this point. We are taking actions that will lead to resources that people will enjoy for a very, very long time.Ó Booth added the board should be proud of their work on the project, Ò even if we receive some criticism.Ó Ò This has been a good compromise,Ó Commissioner William Thomas said. Ò This has been a long and complicated process,Ó Commissioner Bill Valentino said. Ò I often think the criticism we get is because people do not understand our system or do not understand our law.

People wanted us to classify the land to their own personal standards and not in accordance to the law. What APA stood for in this circumstance was the law and good science. I was proud of the way the APA staff handled itself. We came up with a solution that none of us could have ever come up with individually.Ó “I think the final solution is not exactly what I would have wanted, but it is a good balance of recreation and protection,Ó Commissioner Sherman Craig said. Ò When people are on the water or the land, they will have no clue what color we used on our maps.Ó Craig also mentioned the five towns - Indian Lake, Minerva, Newcomb, Long Lake and North Hudson - that border the classified lands.

“I wish the five towns will be able to encourage and expand their economic plans with this,” he said. Ò I think that we have set the stage for really big future progress,Ó Commissioner Daniel Wilt said. Ò I am very pleased with this result and proud to be part of it.Ó Commissioner Art Lussi thanked the Nature Conservancy for making the original purchase of the land before selling it to the state. Ò I think the state made a great decision in investing in this property,Ó Lussi said. Ò The highlight for me will be when we had the chance to go to a meeting in Newcomb and hearing from the people. I was riveted for two and-a-half hours.Ó Ò This is an extremely creative solution, which is what I think was needed in order to get this right,” Commissioner Karen Feldman said. “It keeps a commitment to the five towns when they agreed to the sale, that there would be an economic benefit.”

Feldman also talked about the work that needed to continue with local sportsmen groups. Ò I sincerely hope the DEC will be able to relocate them to acceptable sites,Ó she said. Ò These sportsmen and women have been extraordinary stewards of this land. They have protected the natural resources. They have cherished a nurtured this land more than anyone and their contributions will never be replaced.Ó Ò How great have the sportsmen been who have used this land, and the Nature Conservancy have supplied this pristine piece of land for us to classify,Ó Wilt added. Ò I am concerned for sportsmen as far as access but I feel we have a good plan put together.Ó Once the board spoke, Ulrich asked for their votes, with each member voting together in the affirmative. Once finished, the audience in attendance broke out in loud cheering. Ò The staff were pleased to develop a recommendation that addressed natural resource protection, community connectivity and recreational access,Ó Martino said. Ò I extend a sincere thank you to everyone who participated in this monumental classification process, especially the Agency

North Countryman - 11

staff that worked so diligently over this past year. Staff expertise was invaluable to the successful completion of this process. We eagerly look forward to working with our colleagues at DEC in the development of unit management plans that will ensure diverse recreational access.Ó Under the plan, newly classified areas would include the Hudson Gorge Wilderness Area (23,494 acre); Essex Chain Lakes Primitive Area (6,955 acre); OK Slip Pond Primitive Area (30 acre); Pine Lake Primitive Area (2,798 acre); and the Polaris Mountain Primitive Area (953 acre). The plan would also include the addition of over 8,000 acres into the existing Blue Mountain and Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest Areas.

The recommendation will add a variety of new public recreation opportunities in the park, including hiking and walking; kayaking, paddle boarding and canoeing; snowmobiling, including the potential for connections between the towns of Indian Lake, Newcomb, and Minerva; whitewater and flatwater rafting; cross country and backcountry skiing; fishing; hunting; snowshoeing; horseback riding and mountain biking.
