This Week PROFILE

By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ LauraÕ s Bridal in Plattsburgh hosted their 25th annual Bridal Expo this past weekend, with all money raised going to MakeA-Wish Foundation of North East New York.

The event, which attracted over 130 brides, according to LauraÕ s store manager Victoria Heroux, consisted of a mix of vendors and entertainment, plus the eagerly anticipated bridal fashion show. Ò ItÕ s a chance for brides to spend time with wedding professionals. I definitely think that the fashion show is a high point,Ó Heroux said. Ò We even have some Make-A-Wish children who take part in the CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

P’burgh picks Navtours to run city marina

Congresswoman Stefanik “sworn in” PAGE 3 SPORTS

By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com

Plattsburgh City Councilors voted this week to move ahead with plans to build a city-owned marina, next door to Plattsburgh Boat Basin.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Plattsburgh Common Council took a huge step toward the building of a city owned marina this past week, voting to approve a $650,000 bill for new docks.

They also approved Montreal-based Navtours to operate the marina. Navtours had submitted a proposal last year to operate a city marina, but withdrew the offer after city councilors punted on approval of the marina.

In the partnership with Navtours, the city will provide the docks, putting them in before the May 15 opening of the boating season, and taking them out after an Oct. 4 close to the season.

There will be dock space for 34 boats up to 40 feet in length, as well as 25 moorings available.

Plattsburgh mayor James Calnon has been pushing for the new marina since taking office last year. He recently chided councilors, saying that if they didnÕ t stick to a rigid time table, which included this vote, another boating season would be lost.

All but six of the slips will be available for seasonal purchase, with the remaining six reserved for transient boaters.

Local World War II veteran took part in Iwo Jima invasion Former Seaman remains active in veterans’ issues

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ In 1944, just a handful of days past his eighteenth birthday, Joe Demarco enlisted in the Navy.

Before long, he was shipping out of Theodore, Alabama in a LST (Landing Ship, Tank) bound for the Pacific with 1,600 tons of munitions on board. Sitting low in the water and weathering the Pacific’s 30 foot swells, LST 800 brought up the rear of a lengthy flotilla. Ò No one wanted to get near us, with that much ammo in the water,Ó said Demarco.

Bound ultimately for Iwo Jima, DemarcoÕ s ship off-loaded itÕ s cargo in Guam. During that time, Demarco sustained an injury on board ship and was sent to the hospital on Pearl Harbor.

There he endured what would become one of the most vivid memories of the war: seeing the suffering of the wounded kids being brought in from action in the Pacific. Ò What the hell do you know about war? When I saw those guys ... anybody who talks about or thinks about war has got to be insane,Ó he said.

He talks of one 16-year-old who had lied about his age to enlist and ultimately died of phosphorus burns. Through his pain, he asked only to be promoted. He was, and died the next day.

Once recovered, Demarco rejoined his ship in time to take part in the invasion of Iwo Jima. LST 800 touched ground on the small island on the fifth day of the assault, dropping off it’s cargo of tanks and Marines, headed for the valuable island airfields.

“There was fire all around us, but we were lucky. We didn’t get hit.Ó Sitting in his office in a quaint chalet style home in Jay, Demarco points to a grainy black and white photo on his wall, showing a row of LSTs on the beach at Iwo Jima. Ò See those ships on the beach? Mine is the second one in line.Ó He remained on Iwo Jima through the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan. When the war was over, he took part in the oc-

cupation of the Japanese homeland, ferrying men and supplies from the Philippines to Japan. Ò While in Japan we could see the ruins of Nagasaki,Ó he said. Ò Oh Christ; every day is a new experience ... the devastation. All the kids on the ship were 18, 19, 20. Some were 22; they were the old men,Ó he remembered.

DemarcoÕ s ship eventually earned enough points for him and his shipmates to rotate home. While he was processing out, he met his wife Norma. They soon married, and when the Garfield, N.J. native took the long way home from Niagara Falls, he fell in love for a second time, this time with skiing and the North Country.

They started building a home in Jay in 1966, and moved up permanently in 1975.

Now 88, Demarco still carries the energy and vitality he had as a Seaman in the Navy, or as a drummer in swing bands after the war.

That energy was put to good use in 2013, when he learned about the North Country Honor Flight. Demarco became a prodigious fund raiser and a well-known face for the World War II veterans. In 2013 he was awarded the first North Country Honor Flight World War II Veteran of the Year Award.

He flew on a May 2014 Honor Flight to Washington D.C., where he met and chatted with former Senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole, himself a World War II combat veteran.

When not on the golf course, Demarco remains active in veteransÕ issues, and is something of an unofficial spokesman for North Country World War II veterans.

HOME INSPECTIONS 11 Critical Home Inspection Traps To Be Aware Of Weeks Before Listing Your Home For Sale

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you are looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help home sellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

Clinton County-According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale.

A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Elise Stefanik ceremoniously sworn in to Congress

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Newly elected Congresswoman Elise Stefanik was in Plattsburgh Jan. 10 for a ceremonial swearing in at the Clinton County Government Center.

The standing room only crowd of Stefanik supporters filling the Clinton County legislative chamber listened first to a laudatory introduction from North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry Douglas.

After Douglas, retired state Supreme Court Justice Jan Plumadore regaled those assembled with a history of oaths of office down through years before inviting StefanikÕ s mother Melanie to assist with the oath. The elder Stefanik held a Bible while Plumadore recited the same oath, he pointed out, that officers in the military swear. Ò I think that New York 21 kind of got it right,Ó he said after.

Stefanik was officially sworn in Jan. 6 in Washington D.C.

Ò IÕ m happy to be back where friends and supporters believe me when I say that IÕ m a member of Congress,” Stefanik quipped after her swearing in, referencing numerous incidents she experienced in Washington, where media members and others didnÕ t believe that she was old enough to be in Congress.

Stefanik is the youngest woman ever to serve in the U.S. Congress. Ò I want each and every one of you to know that I will work my hardest each and every day for your benefit,” she went on. “I’m already working my hardest to reach across the aisle on your behalf.Ó She pointed out that in her first half week in office, the Congress passed three bills. All of her votes, Stefanik said, will be posted on her official Facebook page as well as her official web page.

A COMMUNITY SERVICE: This community newspaper and its delivery are made possible by the advertisers you’ll find on the pages inside. Our sixty plus employees and this publishing company would not exist without their generous support of our efforts to gather and distribute your community news and events. Please thank them by supporting them and buying locally. And finally, thanks to you, our loyal readers, for your support and encouragement over the past 65 years from all of us here at the North Countryman and Denton Publications.

Our editorial board: Clearing the air

I

vehemently disagreed with Ñ and been asked to write editorials contrary to my own opinion.

ItÕ s a lesson in temperament, but again comes with the territory.

Columns, on the other hand, are written by a sole individual and are the opinion of that person alone, such as the column you are currently reading written by yours truly.

I will say the recent letters calling us out for having an anonymous editorial board gave me pause for thought. That was not my intent and IÕ d like to clear the air about who we are and how we operate.

Our editorial board consists of staff members Maggie Morgan, Shawn Ryan, Lou Varricchio, Pete DeMola and Andrew Johnstone. Senior editors include myself and Keith Lobdell, Publisher Dan Alexander and retired editor Thom Randall continues to lend his years of expertise.

While free expression of opinion is a right in this country under the First Amendment, I am not one to do so behind a veil of secrecy. I welcome an open exchange of ideas from anyone provided it is done in a constructive manner.

IÕ m convinced thoughtful debate and compromise is what will move this country and this region forward.

Therefore, after consulting with our editorial team, we have decided that our board editorials will be signed each week by two senior managing editors, Keith and myself and Dan as publisher.

Ideas for opinion pieces will be formulated, a topic will be chosen, board members will be allowed to chime in on the topic and the actual writing of the piece will be assigned to a member of the board in rotation.

The board will then all get a final opportunity to read the piece before it goes to print.

We feel this is the most fair and balanced way to handle board editorials moving into the future.

In the meantime, my door is always open as is my willingness to hear from our readers about issues of importance that might make solid editorial fodder.

We certainly do not profess to know it all, and the more voices we get involved in this process, the more rounded and effective our opinions will be.

From the Publisher

From the Editor

wrote my first editorial for Denton Publications 23 years ago. Since then IÕ ve put my name on hundreds of opinion pieces and been a part of dozens of editorial board positions. I was lauded for some, vilified for others.

IÕ ve learned not to let that get under my skin. IÕ ve always thought of it as fallout from the thought provoking process. Poke the bees nest enough and youÕ re bound to walk away with a couple welts.

An old editor of mine once told me that youÕ re not doing your job if youÕ re not angering someone with an opinion piece Ñ it comes with the territory.

In turn, the dialogue gates open and Ñ as our newly elected Congresswoman Elise Stefanik would say Ñ fresh new ideas spill forth as a result.

But in all that time, IÕ ve never been accused of hiding my name from view. I have and will continue to take credit for the columns I have personally written as well as the editorial board pieces I am a part of.

So when I read some of the recent letters regarding our editorial board being unnamed, I have to say it caught me off guard. I suppose in an organization our size, I took for granted that readers knew the Denton staff and, after decades of my pontificating, certainly knew me as managing editor.

Together, we make up the editorial board. Most of our names appeared in our Jan. 3 newspapers listing each of our New YearÕ s resolutions.

I have organized it this way for several years, and honestly up until a few weeks ago had not been called out on it. When a reader, official or source took issue with a board editorial, I was always the sounding board, encouraging further dialogue, letters and guest commentaries.

I have always taken responsibility for everything published in our newspapers, specialty products and magazines.

In the past, IÕ ve been involved in a handful of different editorial boards, each with its own unique makeup and different way of identifying board members.

Editorials written by a board are designed to allow input from a variety of viewpoints. They can be written by a member of the board or an outside individual with couching from the group.

IÕ ve been involved with board editorials I

Letters to the Editor

Protect what?

To the Editor: When I think of protecting the Adirondacks, many problems and questions come to mind regarding our Adirondack communities including; employment, resident retention, economic viability, sustainability, the environment, and our future. Does PROTECT cater to all of the above in an unbiased way? What are they trying to protect and from what or whom? Do we need protection from them?

Here are some thoughts to consider. The Adirondacks have had many challenges and will have many challenges to face. By default, we have designed our economy around a playground for spending disposable income and a place to retire. There is little industry left here, and we have become a service based economy catering to recreation, lodging, and food. This economy isnÕ t conducive to great business plans with steady stable returns or successful independence. It tends to represses our work force with seasonal, weather dependent, economy driven, lower paying jobs. Many residents leave for better opportunities and never come back.

We have also limited our chance of a better economy and future by enacting and upholding out of date and irresponsible preservation clauses and ideas about our state holdings within the park called Forever Wild. PROTECTÕ s stance on state land use and private land use is selfish and biased because they represent the land use ideals of a minority within the park or state.

For some towns, state Forever Wild holdings dominate private ownership and this limits business opportunities and potential jobs in the surrounding area through limited resources. Forever Wild lands increase taxes on private properties (tax payers pay the taxes on Forever Wild Land) and taking out trail areas and waterways, much of the Forever Wild lands donÕ t see much use or revenue generated. This decreases income for remaining private landowners due to a lack of choices and opportunities that have been dismantled by the Forever Wild clause and radical groups like Protect. This encourages landowners to develop and liquidate their land to create a short term profit while getting rid of a tax and investment liability.

For example, conservation on state lands would be a better choice by creating working forests that support our local communities with sustainable jobs and tangible products produced for local use and export. The now active land would be self supporting and even revenue generating therefore stimulating local towns. We could heat our schools and teach our kids about sustainability and the environment with renewable trees from the Forever Wasted resource. Conservation includes recreation and in many cases enhances recreation. Good Conservation also enhances the quality and protection of our environment (Hey PROTECT, we don’t even maintain fire roads anymore on forest preserve)!

You want to fight something, how about potential forest fires?

By the way, the people of New York State pay the tax bur-

den and many other associated costs on this state land and that includes all of us one way or another (the state just writes the check) All the citizens should be represented equally including those that live here.

The Adirondacks are for residents, vacationers, snowmobilers, ATV riders motor boaters, businesses, skiers, birdwatchers, fisherman, environmentalists, and all others as long as they respect each other. It should be an even playing field for all.

There should be a more diverse viable economy within the blue line that attracts successful entrepreneurs, businesses, and respectful visitors. Protect, what are you really trying to protect, the land, the environment, the people, the economy, or the swayed interests of your supporters.

IÕ m not saying PROTECT the Adirondacks needs to leave, you need to rethink your goals, to represent and respect all of us, and actually make a positive difference. How about protecting our future?

Tom Bartiss, Vermontville

Well done, Mr. Alexander To the Editor: IÕ m writing to thank you for your column in last weekÕ s paper. IÕ ve never seen a publisher be so frank and open about his company.

I wholeheartedly agree with your positions and I congratulate you for taking the leadership needed to open up this sort of dialogue.

As you say, only through an open exchange of ideas can we learn about the important issues before us.

I rarely write letters to the editor, but this time, I thought it was important to say well done, sir.

David Reuther, Elizabethtown

Editorial Board has right to express opinions To the Editor: I want to commend the Editorial Board for speaking out on actions of one small group that is abusing the court system to get their way.

This group is an extreme fundamentalist group that is running under the flag saving mother nature. Just like other fundamentalist groups they have lost the ability to listen to other sides issue and to work with them. They have failed to see how their views have effected the ability for people to exist in the Adirondack Park.

The facts that what you have published is based in fact is im-

portant.

We must also remember that is was the Ò opinionÓ page of the paper. Your editorial board must be free to have their Ò opinions.Ó I think their opinions are held by many people in the community.

I think, especially in light of the actions that have happened in France last week, you have an obligation to maintain your right to have an option on issues, and on fundamentalist groups that are single minded in their goal.

This is true if it were an environmental group, a political group or a developer. You have a responsibility to your reads to have your opinion. You also have a responsibility to the reader to help them form their own opinions on the other pages of the paper.

I often donÕ t agree with the opinions on the editorial pages of many papers, but that is not the point. The point is that the paperÕ s independent board has that opportunity. The goal is different, it is to make all of think and to see other opinions.

You gave the group their opportunity to express their opinion which is the correct action to take. You should not stifle, control or reprimand the opinion of your editorial board.

John Carr, Crown Point

Essex County supers should represent all citizens To the Editor: After reading the enlightened guest editorial in your Jan. 10 issue condemning your earlier editorial that called for abolishing Protect the Adirondacks because of its opposition to the Adirondack Club & Resort project in Tupper Lake, I was happy to read Dan AlexanderÕ s apology on the same page.

But then, what a shock it was to read the article on page 14 in your same issue, about the Essex County Board of Supervisors voting unanimously to support the original editorial for which your paper wisely apologized.

Brian Mann reported on North Country Public Radio that the Board of Supervisors will meet again on this matter, so I hope they will also take a more enlightened position now.

Perhaps they were fooled by the pseudo-populist rhetoric in that disgraceful editorial. They need to show that they really do represent all of us, not just the special interests of rich developers.

Shameful votes like that one are the reason why so many Americans now distrust politicians.

The Board needs to acknowledge that Protect the Adirondacks does far more good than harm, for the majority of us. The same goes for the APA. Allen Fitz-Gerald, Jay

Marina

From page 1 Boaters will pay an $82 per linear foot for dockage fee, except for 12 of the slips which will be available for NavtoursÕ use at a reduced rate.

Calnon sees the potential for the marina to bring the city $200,000 in yearly revenue.

DOWNTOWN Calnon and city councilors alike have touted the marina as a keystone to rejuvenating the downtown business community, feeling that it will bring Canadian shoppers to the area, who will venture into downtown to take advantage of shops and restaurants.

The deal with Navtours does not include a restaurant, fuel or a marina store on the city owned space. Calnon says that the goal was to not compete with next-door neighbors Plattsburgh Boat Basin and the Naked Turtle restaurant.

Plattsburgh Boat Basin had been interested in building and operating the city marina, but their proposals were turned down in favor of Navtours.

Calnon has also touted plans for the establishment of a kayaking and paddle-boarding facility near the newly-minted city marina as a way to further enrich the downtown corridor and bring more foot traffic there.
