New marina draws mixed reaction

PLATTSBURGH

By Teah Dowling

Art & Book Fair to be held in Plattsburgh

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — As the Plattsburgh City Marina nears completion, several business owners are wondering what this new addition will do for them and Plattsburgh itself. Ò I think the marina is going to do a very good job in bringing people to Plattsburgh,Ó said Colin Read, co-owner of the Champlain Wine Company and president of the Plattsburgh Downtown Association (PDA), Ò but itÕ s not clear.Ó ReadÕ s hopeful that, by the implementation of the new marina, it will attract more people to downtown Plattsburgh that wouldnÕ t normally spend time at the Plattsburgh Boat Basin.

Community rallies for kids following nickel nabber’s exit

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The community is uniting around Elizabethtown-Lewis Central fifth graders following last month’s Valley News report that told the story of a local businessman who bilked the kiddos out of their field trip funds.

Since the story broke, community members have been quick to offer both moral and financial support, said Dina Garvey, the tripÕ s organizer. Ò TheyÕ ve been wonderful,Ó she said.

A series of fundraisers last month saw donations pouring in, while numerous others have come forward with assistance after learning of the plight that jeopardized the classÕ pending fourday trip to Washington, D.C. next month. Ò It just really makes you happy that you live someplace that does this,” Garvey said. “There’s not many places in the world that people would do this.Ó ‘PAIN AND SUFFERING’ Since the Valley News broke the story of Tim RecordÕ s malfeasance last month, a half-dozen additional individuals have come forward to share their stories of similar fraudulent experiences with the now-shuttered Rapid Returns Redemption Center in Elizabethtown.

In a form letter addressed to county residents and customers dated April 27, Record admitted guilt and apologized for what he referred to as his Ò inactions.Ó Ò I can not begin to imagine the pain and suffering I have caused to you and the community through my former business,Ó he wrote.

Record said he closed Rapid Returns on Feb. 1 and that everyone should have been paid before he did so.

He explained that some accounts were settled while others werenÕ t.

Record wrote that while he did pay out tens of thousands of dollars in a Ò timely and honest mannerÓ during the short-lived life span of his business, he Ò ruinedÓ everything he had accomplished Ò and more.Ó The disgraced businessman promised account holders full payment of monies owed.

Record filed for a DBA for Rapid Returns in September 2013 and opened the following spring. Ò The business started well and ended tragically,Ó he wrote, Ò and it is one hundred percent my fault and my inaction in settling this matter will haunt me for years to come.Ó Record told the Valley News last month that he had outstanding balances with some 24 local groups, including cemetery, veterans and educational organizations.

All of the groups expressed skepticism at the validity of his re-

Tim Record

cords, claiming that past drives, including some at Rapid Returns before Record apparently funneled the proceeds into an ice scraper business and moved to Florida, had resulted in far-larger returns. Ò If heÕ s willing to pay the amount he owes, thatÕ s wonderful,Ó said Garvey. “But I don’t believe thatÕ s all he owes Ñ

I donÕ t think he kept accurate records.Ó Record disagreed: Ò I can assure you that I did keep accurate records,Ó he wrote in the form letter. Ò Many of you saw the daily tally sheets that were then transferred to the index card file. On many occasions, customers wanted to donate bottles to me and I always insisted that they chose [sic] one of the not for profits that were available for donations.Ó ‘HE COMMITTED FRAUD’ Former account holders said they were skeptical that Record, a former Johnsburg planning board member, would follow through with his promise.

“I have no confidence,” said Pat McCray.

The Lewis resident hoped the donations of she and her husband, Harry, would be given to the Lewis Veteran’s Memorial Park Fund.

But they received nothing.

In a letter, Record said he planned on sending her a money order for $110.30 on Monday, May 3.

In the event he doesnÕ t deliver, RecordÕ s letter is now an instrument for possible legal action, McCray explained.

The McCrays are proud parents of two military veterans.

“He committed fraud on people of Lewis and Elizabethtown,” said McCray. Ò WeÕ re just an old couple doing something for our community and wanted to help out. He violated our trust and itÕ s terrible to do that to somebody.Ó Garvey hoped the fifth graders could walk away from the experience with a positive message. Ò I want them to know something horrible happened, but you can overcome it Ñ the community will rally around you.Ó More fundraisers are planned for the trip, including a dinner at the Texas Roadhouse in Plattsburgh on Monday, May 18 from 4 to 10 p.m.

All donors will receive postcards from next monthÕ s trip, said Garvey.

Doug Downs, of Keene Valley, was the long-time Christmas tree vendor whom Record booted from the Rapid Returns parking lot last winter.

Downs sold trees for years and would donate a portion of the proceeds to the Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad.

After Record put the kibosh on the sale, Downs opted not to relocate to another location in Elizabethtown because he didnÕ t want to give residents the impression of competing vendors working to raise funds for the squad, who ended up receiving nothing.

While he moved what he could of his 150 trees to Lake Placid, Downs took a loss on the rest. Ò ItÕ s almost impossible to sell that many trees late in the game,Ó he said.

Downs said he hoped the incident wouldnÕ t lead to kids losing faith in adults. Ò It would be good if the kids understood that not everyone is out for themselves, or selfish,” he said. $500 DONATION A Lake Placid-based businessman is hoping to lead by example.

Jerry Strack, of Central Garage, is donating $500 to the fifth graders and is urging other local garages to do the same.

Strack cited the memory of his departed friend, Spencer Egglefield.

“We were great friends,” he said. “He was a good man.”

Strack said he had a simple message for children: “Honesty is always the best policy,” he said.

He hopes his contribution will help bring out the inner humanity of the North Country.

OPEN QUESTIONS The total amount of funds owed to the organizations is unknown because interviewees said owing to RecordÕ s business model, itemized receipts were not always available, making it his word against theirs.

Record told the Valley News last month that the fifth graders are owed $373.74; the Elizabethtown Fish and Game Club, $228.30, and the Lewis Veterans Park, $110.30.

The Wadhams Library and Westport Fish and Game Club are owed over $50, he said, while Champlain Area Trails and the ELCS Field Fund are each owed $25.

Seventeen additional accounts are owed under $25, according to his calculations.

Has Tim Record sent you a letter promising payment? If so, and he fails to follow through, give us a call at 873-6368 ex 213 and tell us about it.

Peru teen anglers setting their sights on the next big catch

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com PERU Ñ Though still in their teens, local anglers Perry Marvin, Jr. and Alec Morrison have already put together decorated resumes in the world of competitive fishing.

With the right support, the biggest catch may be yet to come.

Last summer, the Peru teens made a splash in regional finishing competition, netting top catches in competition with the sportÕ s top up-and-comers. A year later, theyÕ re eying another go at the big stage.

In the 2014 Student Angler Federation (SAF) State Championship in Clayton, the two combined to take 21.6 pounds of bass out of the St. Lawrence river, including a tournament-best 5.5 pound lunker by Morrison, to get them an invite to the SAF Northern Division Regional Tournament on the Nanticoke and Wicomico in Delaware in September.

Along the way, Bobby Williams, president of The Bass Federation in New York State, arranged for the two to get out on the water with a professional angler to learn tidal water fishing, as well as what lures and line colors to use.

The two didnÕ t advance beyond the regional, though it wasnÕ t the only highlight of the season.

That same summer, Marvin fished in the Forrest Wood Cup — considered the Super Bowl of fishing tournaments and featuring state champions from around the country Ñ on Lake Murray in Columbia, S.C. There, he caught a seven pound, seven ounce bass on day one and another three ounces heavier the following day to claim top honors among 15-to-18 year olds. Not only did he net top catches, but also a $2,500 scholarship along the way.

With summer approaching, Marvin and Morrison are eying tournaments in New York, New Hampshire and Alabama.

For a pair of teens, raising the thousands of dollars needed for

registration fees, hotel reservations, tackle and so on is no easy task.

The High School Fishing World Finals on the Pickwick Reservoir in Florence, Ala., a seven-day event, has an estimated cost of over $3,000, while the Northern Conference Championship on Lake Winnipesaukee, N.H., totals over $4,000.

On Saturday, May 16, MurphyÕ s Bar in Peru will host a fundraising for the teen anglers that will include food, live music, cash drawings, as well as silent and live auctions that include a fishing trip with Marvin or Morrison.

The event will run from 3 to 9 p.m. with spaghetti dinner meal service between 4 and 7. The silent auction will go from 3 to 6:30 and the live on at 7:30.

Music by Half Circle, Damaged Goods, Full Circle and Trifecta will play throughout.

Contact Laurie Marvin at (518) 534-4878 for details.

Packed house watches Heywood defend Airborne title Therrien, Turner, Irwin capture opening night wins

PLATTSBURGH — Airborne Park Speedway played before a huge grandstand crowd to open its 62nd annual season of stock car racing on FedEx Ground Night on Saturday, May 2, and the hometown fans cheered their champion, Nick Heywood, to the biggest victory of his career.

The three-time defending champ in the J&S Steel Modified division of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series presented by Yandow Sales & Service and John Deere led every circuit of the 100-lap race, but his win was never guaranteed.

Heywood started on the pole position for the 21-car main event by virtue of a random draw of the top 12 qualifiers. He and Greg Atkins stretched their legs in the first half of the race as the balance of the top 10 dazzled the crowd with constant passing. Bucko Branham, Jason Durgan and Codie Aubin each put on a show coming from the back of the field as veterans Leon GoN.Y.o, Mike Wells and Vince Quenneville Jr. mixed it up with rookies DanN.Y. Sullivan and Timex Morgan in a clean but physical battle. Bids for GoN.Y.o and Wells ended in mechanical failures and a flat tire eventually put an end to Sullivan’s notable debut.

Atkins was consistent, but Branham was Heywood’s biggest threat. Branham gave up his ninth starting spot and nearly missed the start of the FedEx Ground 100 after changing a water pump at the last minute, and was forced to start last and thread his way through traffic. Branham was running in second place and was virtually dead even with Heywood with a handful of laps remaining, but was bitten his own pre-race prophesy that fuel mileage would be a factor as his tank ran dry.

A green-white-checker restart on lap 98 gave Clintonville, N.Y. driver Atkins one final chance and made the leader sweat it out, but Heywood pulled into victory lane. His win earned him the $150 LenN.Y.’s Shoe & Apparel “Hot Shoe Challenge” bonus, a tool kit from Ingersoll Rand Power Tools and the early lead in the seven-race Yandow Sales & Service/John Deere “Spring Championship SeriesÓ which moves to DevilÕ s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, Vt.. on Saturday, May 9.

Atkins took the runner-up spot, while Morrisonville, N.Y.’s Durgan Ð who made a pit stop during a caution period near the halfway point Ð came out on top of hot battle for third with Brandon, Vt. driver Quenneville. Aubin overcame fuel pressure issues and a 14th-place starting position to take fifth. Morgan

Triple Crown Series and is expected to draw an invasion of racers and fans from La Belle Province. The Québec-based ProCam Super Trucks will also be in action, along with AirborneÕ s regular Modified, Renegade, and Mini Modified classes. Racing will begin at 6:00 p.m.

Airborne Park Speedway is located on Broderick Road in Plattsburgh, N.Y., one mile south of Exit 36 on the Interstate 87 Northway. Visit www.airborneparkspeedway.com for more information, or call (518) 647-4444. Airborne Park Speedway is on Facebook at Facebook.com/AirborneParkSpeedway and on Twitter at @AirborneSpeed.

Unoffical results — FedEx Ground Night Nick Heywood was a solid sixth ahead of Jayson Criss and Chris Frennier. Branham was penalized to ninth place as the final car on the lead lap after jumping the final restart. Quebec’s Eric Lauziere finished rounded out the top 10.

Bobby Therrien of Hinesburg, Vt. picked up where he left off last year in the Ground Round Late Models, winning that division’s 25-lap feature race. A short field still produced good racing as Therrien, Jamie Fisher, Josh Masterson and Todd Stone diced for the lead. Therrien eventually cleared Masterson after a sideby-side fight to take the win. Masterson, Stone, Fisher and Kevin Boutin Jr. were the top five.

Richie Turner of Fairfax, Vt. buried the field to win the 25-lap opener for the Key R-D Trailer Sales Renegade division in his first start for Randy Howard’s Premier Paving team. Defending champion Robert Gordon, also a Premier Paving-sponsored driver was forced to settle for second. Shawn Duquette came from 11th starting position to take third, followed by Jim McKiernan and Jimmy Bushey.

Tyler Irwin of Peru, N.Y. started his sophomore season with a popular career-first victory in the 15-lap Busch Beer Mini Modified feature. Irwin saw his sizeable lead erased by a late caution flag, and then was forced to hold off the field at the finish. Pete Blaney, Dale O’Neil and Tim LaFountain grabbed positions 2-4, while Eddie Bresette was a career-best fifth.

Airborne Park Speedway returns to action on Saturday, May 16 as Bill McBride Chevrolet and Interstate Batteries bring the American-Canadian Tour’s famed “Spring Green” event home to Plattsburgh. The event kicks off the ACT Late Model Québec

Couple to be honored with Distinguished Service Award

By Natasha Courter

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Former SUNY Plattsburgh President Joseph Burke, along with his wife, Joan, will be honored with the Distinguished Service Award at SUNY Plattsburgh’s commencement ceremony May 16. Ò Both my wife and I are delighted to receive the honor,Ó Joseph said. Ò We love Plattsburgh state, so itÕ s like an old homecoming.Ó The distinguished service award is given to those who have played an important part in improving the community of SUNY

Plattsburgh. Former president George Angell, according to a press release, created the award in 1966.

According to Joseph, other people who have received the award include Sen. Stafford and Sen. Moynihan.

Joseph and his wife have been serving the community since they moved north back in the early Ô 70s, according the Joseph.

One of the major accomplishments Joseph achieved as president was dealing with a major budget cut. Enrollment was increased and the campus was stabilized despite the lack of money each year.

The Myers Fine Arts building on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus has been named the Joseph C. and Joan T. Burke Gallery after

the couple. The gallery is located in the lobby of the building. Ò We were involved in arranging that,Ó said Joseph.

The couple is very humble about the work they have done in the community. They are very modest, and incredibly honored to be rewarded for their accomplishments. Ò [I was] totally surprised, truly.Ó Joan said. Ò It just felt like doing what was to be done and we enjoyed it, and just naturally came about.Ó Joseph and his wife are still serving the Plattsburgh community today. He is currently chair of the board for the William H. Miner Agricultural Institute, and his wife is chair for the Alice T. Miner Museum Board, according to Joseph.

North Countryman Editorial

Towns need to think smart with long-term planning

S

hared services. Two percent tax cap. Rebate check.

These are the buzzwords that haunt governance in the North Country and shadow all other concepts.

To combat renegade tax growth, the state has been requiring municipalities and school districts to keep spending increases under two percent per year. They must also demonstrate annual savings of at least 1 percent through shared services with their counterparts.

District taxpayers than receive the difference in the form of a rebate check.

All of this, according to the governor, will provide $1.5 billion in direct property tax relief over the next three years.

Our local leaders have largely bemoaned these measures, and rightfully so, arguing that the landscape in the sparsely-populated Adirondack Park doesnÕ t exactly lend itself to more scrimping and saving because thereÕ s simply nothing left to cut.

Municipalities have been sharing services for years, they say, none of which will be grandfathered in.

Unfunded mandates and declining demographics present additional headaches, while other stressors include challenging terrain, the harsh climate and the sheer distance between towns.

You can’t draw blood from a stone.

The Adirondacks are a brutal place to live and local leaders are simply concerned about keeping the lights on.

But this is now the new normal and we need progressive thinking to ensure sustainability.

Here’s another buzzword: Consolidation.

ItÕ s coming down the pipeline for both municipalities and school districts whether they choose to acknowledge it or not.

ItÕ s already happening.

Chances are that you drop off your trash at a dump jointly run by two towns.

You might voice your code and animal control complaints to a roaming official.

Your local ambulance squad may serve two communities.

And perhaps your kids live in one town, go to school in another and compete in an athletic team based in a third.

More examples abound, from shared administrative services governing payroll and benefits to transportation and fuel agreements.

All of this was born from necessity.

The next logical step, it seems, is for local officials to preemptively draft a long-term roadmap and invest in projects and infrastructure that will accommodate this new normal.

Take town highway and public works departments, for example.

Following these trends, we envision significant potential to tweak how theyÕ re structured.

Do a pair of towns along the same stretch of rural highway, for instance, each need a $200,000 road grader, or is that something that can be shared?

What about sand and salt?

Perhaps towns can enter joint purchasing agreements and store them in hubs located in strategic locations across several municipalities.

Once you crack this nut, the opportunities for shaving away duplications in local government are endless Ñ especially in the sparsely populated towns across the North Country.

Local governments have their marching orders.

The state has given them until June 1 to submit a plan demonstrating proposed efficiencies.

Tough decisions await.

To complement their re-organizational planning, we encourage them to also consider the longterm infrastructure investments that may be necessary to accommodate this shifting landscape.

There are several highway garages across the North Country that are in shambles — like the one in Westport, for instance.

ItÕ s a pen stroke away from being condemned and town officials have raised concerns about safety issues and its ability to accommodate equipment.

Furthermore, itÕ s an eyesore.

As the town considers accepting a $500,000 grant to give the town hall a facelift that restores historical flourishes, a measure that would require $180,000 share from local taxpayers, we really have to question the wisdom of such an investment.

We encourage the town to reject the grant and instead use the $180,000 as seed money on a garage replacement solution.

Since itÕ s a straight shot to Essex, it may play a role in a future shared services plan, one that brings together personnel, vehicles and heavy equipment from numerous townships under one roof.

Of course, this is just one example Ñ and a hypothetical one at that.

More storms are brewing on the not-so-distant horizon on a road paved with tribal obstacles, like the situation facing the Elizabethtown Fire Department.

If they opt to spend six figures on a new addition, then perhaps they should only do so if they indicate that they are genuinely open to the idea of exploring ways to work more efficiently with their counterpart in Lewis, which is just a click up Route 9.

While the details may differ in each community, itÕ s clear that we will never return to the past in which each town existed in a neat bubble with their own unique identity.

Our advice while navigating this landscape is to think big. And creatively. Because before long, the choice will no longer be ours. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Mother’s Day

C

an you remember the words to the old MotherÕ s Day song? IÕ m listening. Sing it to me. Ò M is for the million things she gave meÉ Ó Kaye and I tried it as I wrote this last Sunday. She gives me that quizzical look when I make these requests, but does her best to comply. We stumbled at a few of the lyrics, possibly learned wrong as kids. The last line should be, Ò Put them all together, they spell Mother, a word that means the world to me.Ó What you might not recall is that H o w a r d Johnson (not THAT one) penned it in 1915. Some sources refer to another song he wrote as being more

by Gordie Little famous. Perhaps you remember Ò I scream, you scream we all scream for ice cream.Ó Being of Irish descent on my fatherÕ s side, I favor another of his Tin Pan Alley hits, “Ireland Must be Heaven for my Mother Came from There.Ó As we prepare to celebrate our moms this weekend, we should reflect on their importance in our lives from birth forward. Kaye and I choose not to dwell on negative things, but events of recent months deserve mention. A big part of what has happened in our house and so many others recently is generically called the “stomach flu.” We’re rarely sick here. We just donÕ t have time for that.

However, the flu bug nailed us this spring and put us both right down to the mat for a while.

While we were in a weakened condition, all of KayeÕ s children that live locally pitched in to bring us food and offered assistance in so many ways. Some travelled across country to be with her and allÑ whether they made it here or notÑ embraced her with their love.

I wonÕ t embarrass them by mentioning their names here, but they know who they are. Daily, they appeared, to clean the floors, make the bed, bring goulash and healthy soups and sandwiches and much more.

When Kaye heard I was writing this MotherÕ s Day piece, she insisted that I acknowledge all of her offspring along with many friends who offered their support.

All of them are humble enough to shun the limelight on this topic, but I can assure you that, if they are honest, they would say in unison that they are just repaying their wonderful mother who made untold sacrifices to raise them. When I tell people that Kaye had twelve babies, all by natural childbirth, they are understandably astounded. Then to bring me into her fold with my two boys forty-one years ago on May 4th, should earn her another good conduct medal.

There have been times over the past few weeks and months that I wasnÕ t certain we would survive to celebrate this anniversary, but when her children came to sit by her sick bed, she looked all of them in the eye and said in a tiny voice, “You’re not gonna get rid of me yet.Ó And she was right.

Here we sit in full recovery mode with apologies for not being our usual sociable selves for a while. WeÕ re grateful for every minute and every new day. Yes, we often speak about our own mothers and IÕ ve written about mine in local publications.

My mom was Alta Grace Requa Little, born in 1901. KayeÕ s was Leona Trudo Vaughan, born in 1900.

I donÕ t think they ever met each other, but Kaye and I agree that their conversation would have been most interesting. Sadly, all four of our parents left this earth within a short span of time, one from the other.

While you are choosing cards and flowers for your mothers on Sunday, we urge you tell them face-to-face what they mean to you.

If they live far away, a phone call would be good; or, if they are gone, a little prayer of gratitude would be terrific.

I hung the hummingbird feeder outside our back deck last week. Kaye reminded me that our first ruby-throated visitor appeared on MotherÕ s Day last year. WouldnÕ t it be nice if that happened again?

Columnist Gordie Little is a weekly contributor to Denton Publications. He may be reached at gordie@denpubs.com.

Each session takes place Fridays through Sundays either at DeLongÕ s cabin, which has over 100 acres of land and is located at 264 Emery Road in Mooers, or the Gander Mountain lounge. Clients will be notified of the location.

Each session consists of two three-hour classroom-like sessions with lesson plans, assign-

D&A Survival lessons will be conducted with safety and effectiveness in mind, since the school will incorporate tools such as knives and axes.

Required material includes a notebook, pencil, knife, backpack and lighter/matchbook.

Suggested material include a flashlight, rope, poncho/sweater and extra socks. A student can bring in anything else they want so long as they follow the schoolÕ s golden rule: Ò What you carry in, you carry out.Ó A lot of the lessons will take place in the woods, the field/urban environments or by bodies of water, putting people in situations they normally wouldnÕ t go into in order to make them a better situational observer. Ò ItÕ s not all about survival in the woods and stuff,Ó Abare said. Ò Part of being prepared is having the knowledge to apply quick survival needs to get on to the next thing.Ó After the first free session, each session costs $50. After completing and passing five weeks

worth of sessions, students will receive a certificate saying that theyÕ re ready to take their skills into the wilderness and use them.

Drinks and food will be provided every day, sometimes by the student cooking it themselves after learning how to purify water or building a fire.

DeLong and Abare plan to incorporate group rates, payment plans and a product line in the future. Their 10 year goal is to have their classes in a college.

For more information or to sign up for a session, contact DeLong at kodidelong71@gmail. com or 518-645-4732 or Abare at mikeabare21@ gmail.com or 518-534-3008. Visit their website (www.dasurvival.com) for upcoming events. Ò ItÕ s important to be ready to deal with that situation when it arises, whether itÕ s surviving out in the woods or just being prepared in your day-to-day life,Ó Abare said. Ò We live an uncertain future, so why not just be ready for it?Ó

Marina

From page 1 The new marina will offer 34 dock slips and 25 moorings. Jack Lorry, owner of DelÕ s Subs, believes this added marina will bring in more money for Plattsburgh. Ò It might take a few years for that to happen,Ó Lorry said. Ò But if the city thinks they can turn a profit on it and get some revenue from it, I donÕ t see why itÕ s a bad thing.

“If they stick with it and do things right, it should profit everyone in the long run.Ó Steve Peters, superintendent of recreation for the City of Plattsburgh, claimed the new marina will eventually become a new revenue generator for the community, with the potential to generate approximately $1.2 million over 20 years after bond payments and operating expenses.

Business owners also like how the new marina is within walking distance of many downtown businesses.

“They’re not all going to want to go to the Naked Turtle,” said Joe Kovacs, owner of Smooth Moves and member of PDA and First Weekends. Ò TheyÕ re going to want to explore downtown.Ó The marina, located at 2 Dock St., is a half mile, approximately 10 minute walk, from the downtown area. If biking, it’s just five minutes away.

Though itÕ s a quick walk or bike ride to downtown, businesses have a few concerns with the marina, such as how long boaters will stay, how theyÕ ll know about what businesses are downtown and how they’ll find them.

Read believes that signs should be placed from the marina to downtown so that people can find their way easier. He also believes the marina should give out information to all its boaters about whatÕ s downtown, like what 30 City Downtown and the Visitors Center do now.

Docks have been installed and the new city marina is nearing completion.

Sharing space with the Champlain Wine Company, 30 City acts as a welcome center for visitors offering a variety of free community events and various informational brochures on whatÕ s in the area.

Though thereÕ s plenty to offer in the downtown area, another concern arises: Staying open on Sundays. Ò Boating is a huge thing on our lake in the summer,Ó said Julie Woodley, owner of DressCode. Ò I think it will be awesome for downtown and itÕ s going to bring me more business, but we have to start staying open on Sundays.Ó PDA created the event Destination Downtown, which will be

North Countryman • May 9, 2015 | 9 happening May 17, as a way to get more businesses up and running on a Sunday, since many of them arenÕ t.

DressCode, along with the Champlain Wine Company and Smooth Moves, are some of the few downtown Plattsburgh businesses open on Sunday. Woodley, who gets a good amount of business on Sundays from the marina (especially in the summer months), believes more businesses should be open for community members and visitors, especially with the implementation of the new marina. Ò The new marina is going to help the downtown a lot,Ó Kovacs said. Ò ItÕ s going to make it more of a destination.Ó

History Benefit Auction

On the river ... again

L

ast weekend, I loaded up the canoe and traveled over the hill to Elizabethtown. IÕ ve made the same journey every spring, for over 25 years. It provides me with an opportunity to paddle upper sections of the Boquet River, and a chance to revisit the haunts of my youth.

Although the same old routine has occassionally become routine; the river always seems to present something new. I usually set off from New Russia, and pull out near the Elizabethtown Firehouse. I stash a bicycle at the take out, for the return trip.

The float trip only takes about a half a day. But after peddling all the way to New Russia to retrieve my car, and returning to cartop the canoe, itÕ s often a struggle to stay awake during the drive home.

While I brought along my flyrod again this year, it was strictly due to habit. I havenÕ t seen or caught a trout on the upper Boquet in many years. The river is, for all intents and purposes, as sterile as a fresh BandAid. Nada’ trout, nor a minnow, a sculpin or even a sucker, zip!

There were a few turtles sunning along the river banks, and plenty of animal tracks evident on the sandy banks, but I doubt they had chased away the trout.

It wasnÕ t due to the weather, which was fair and sunny, and there wasn’t any hard running, heavy flushing, spring melt either. In fact, the water levels were actually quite low, which forced me to drag the canoe out, over, under and around more than a dozen log jams that continue to plug up the main flow.

I saw plenty of wildlife, ranging from blue heron to turtles, and gulls to merganzers. There were also lots of tracks including deer, beaver, muskrat and coyote. I didnÕ t see a single human track along the entire journey. Nobody was wading or swimming, and there was no sign of other paddlers, unless they had carried their canoes the long way around all of the log jams.

Back in the late 1970Õ s, when trout we abundant, every one of those logjams would have sheltered a large school of fish. Today, there arenÕ t even minnows seeking shelter.

IÕ ve spoken to DEC about the problem, and with the well meaning and knowledgeable folks at the Boquet River Association, but nobody seems to have any answers.

The gentle flowing, clear, clean waters of the Boquet were the natural playground of my youth, and while trout werenÕ t always abundant, it seemed there were always enough to go around, especially if an angler was willing to wander off for a bit.

I canÕ t really say the trout in those days were any larger than the few relics I still find in a deep pool on occasion; but there were enough of them to go around, and with the obvious lack of angling pressure now-a-days, there should be plenty of trout.

Although my annual canoe foray hasnÕ t provided a single finned suspect in years, I still manage to take a few fish at the base of waterfalls and in sections of rapids on the lower river.

I also find wild, little native brookies in a few of the Boquet’s tributaries, and there are still wild finglerings to be found in the riverÕ s upper reaches. But itÕ s no longer the same, and thatÕ s a real shame.

Adirondack History Museum

Although IÕ ve witnessed many changes in my small town since my younger days, it is always nice to discover a few things that actually stay the same.

The Adirondack History Museum in Elizabethtown ranks at the top of my list in this category. In fact, it seems to get better with age. Although it has been spruced up in recent years, with new exhibits, lectures and an influx of great ideas, the museum building remains in command of the town hill, as it has for decades.

It may be small, but it is our museum, and it continues to collect, protect and honor our local history. I make a point to visit the museum every year, and thereÕ s always something new.

One of the true highlights of the summer season is the Annual Antique & Classic Car Show that will return to the Museum grounds on Saturday June 13, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission to the show is free, and the event continues to draw collectors and car enthusiasts from all across the North Country who come to admire the beautifully restored vehicles. Muscle cars from the 1960Õ s and 70Õ s, which are now considered antiques, are on display wheel to wheel with vintage roadsters, hot rods, and other classic rides. If a 1972 Barracuda is considered an antique, what do you call a teenager that used to drive it to high school?

The vintage vehicles will be on exhibit at the Museum Grounds, off Hand Ave. in Elizabethtown, NY. Car fee registration is $10 in advance or $15 the day of the event.

Exhibitors can register with the Adirondack History Museum at echs@adkhistorycenter.org or (518) 873-6466 As usual, DaCy Meadow Farm will be on site with a Farm Fresh Picnic & Barbecue. Ice cream, beer and wine will also be available, and raffle tickets as well.

While waiting for the car show to return to town, history buffs and museum advocates have the opportunity to contribute to a good cause by bidding on a wide selection of Adirondack offerings available at an online auction.

The auction, which began on May 1 and concludes on May 10 seeks to raise funds to support the Adirondack History Center MuseumÕ s collections, exhibits, education, and outreach programs. Auction items include golf at the Ausable Club, original art and prints from local artists, camp tuition at Camp PokO-MacCready, lodging packages, gift certificates to local stores, concert venues, and restaurants, and more.

The auction can be found online. Support your own local history at www.biddingforgood.com/ADKHistoryMuseum. For further information, please contact the museum directly at 518873-6466, or via email to director@adkhistorycenter.org.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

Classic cars from the 1940’s amd 50’s will mix with muscle cars from the 60’s and 70’s when the Annual Antique & Classic Car Show returns to the Adirondack History Museum in Elizabethtown on Saturday June 13, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
