Emma celebrates 101 years of a long life

By Nancy Lee Destiny

Special to Denton Publications

Emma Dean Baggett, a resident at Pine Harbour Assisted Living, recently celebrated her 101st birthday.

Photo by Jeremiah S. Papineau

PLATTSBURGH — After a century plus one year, Emma Dean Baggett has lived through six wars, 18 presidents, and the invention of the telephone, washing machine, television, color movies and automobile. And though her birthday was April 1, her turning 101 years old was no joke.

Baggett was born in 1910 in Decatur, Tex., but has resided at Pine Harbour Assisted Living for the last six years.

“I’ve had a wonderful life. It seems like my whole life has been a special thing," said Baggett.

Baggett said she was married twice, describing each as two wonderful husbands.

She has two children, a son and daughter, who both live in New York. er first husband and her married in their teens, she explains she met him at the job they both worked at. She was his secretary at an oil company. They were married 35

years before his passing.

“He was born in Texas, but as a young man worked as an editor for the paper across the lake here,” Baggett said.

She said she married her second husband when they were both in the retirement home before moving into Pine Harbour.

“We were so in love,” she said, giggling like a teenager.

He has since passed away.

"I can’t remember what he did," she said. “Oh let me think, my thinking is just really bad now because when you get this age it is,” she said, with a hearty laugh.

Baggett still enjoys reading, television, movies, crafts and music, one of her favorites is Frank Sinatra. She has two sisters. One named Estelle who was two years older than her and has passed away a while back. Her other sister, Jackie, is 10 years younger than her and living still.

She also has one brother who is alive, named Charlie.

"I can’t remember how old he is, but

when you’re my age it happens; I’m sorry,” she said, laughing again.

Baggett's first job began in her teens, after studying at the Secretarial Business College, in Fort Worth. She worked for an auto company and an oil company, before landing a job as secretary to a senator from Texas. Her final job was secretary at the junior college in Texas.

Baggett has seen a lot of changes in her lifetime. Growing up she had no video games, she said.

"We played outside," she said. “We had dances in our home with my friends and I ... My friends and I used to walk to school each morning, and walk home again at noon for lunch. There were no buses.”

What's her secret to a long life?

“I walked everywhere, usually in the morning,” Baggett said. “I never smoked, I drank wine occasionally, but never went overboard.”

Saranac woman produces final calendar in a historical series

Sylvia Newman focuses on local postcards

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

SARANAC — When Sylvia Newman started compiling local calendars more than seven years ago, she didn’t realize she started a tradition that would result in six pieces of local history.

“A lot of people collect my calendars. They have to make sure they get each one,” said Newman, laughing. “It’s been fun.”

Originally inspired in 2005 to create a calendar to raise money to restore a local Civil War monument, Newman has compiled images over the years into several artistic day-keepers as a way to celebrate Saranac’s history. Previous calendars have centered on images of the town’s historic houses, local bars and restaurants, and the flood which devastated the town on July 12, 1947. Last year, her calendar fo-

cused on one-room schoolhouses in the Saranac Valley.

In her final endeavor in the world of calendar creations, Newman’s 2012 calendar will focus on local postcards.

“It’s a fun one,” Newman said of the project. “It’s made up of postcards of different scenes of some historical buildings and places in Saranac. It’s just what I had in my photo files, I have albums full of old pictures and I had a bunch of old postcards.”

The postcards include images of High Falls, Saranac Methodist

Church and the Church of the Assumption in Redford, among other locations.

“They’re all old and interesting,” she said of the postcards.

The calendar also features a brief history of postcards that Newman hopes will entertain and educate.

“That’s quite interesting, too,” Newman said.

Newman is now “toying with the notion” of writing a book, compiling other photos she has to tell more of Saranac’s history.

“I have a lot of historical photos I’d like to do write-ups on,” she

said. “It’d be nice to get my photos out there. I have a lot of photos of when Standish when they had the mines up there.”

For now, though, Newman will focus on promoting her latest calendar.

The cost of the calendar is $10 each, with those buying them able to buy two and get one free. Calendars may be purchased in participating local stores or by contacting Newman at 293-7337.

Civil War events: A time to commemorate, not celebrate

W

hen it comes to marking the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War (18611865), local groups should choose their event titles wisely, and the media should be careful when covering these stories. We should be “commemorating” this anniversary over the next four years, not “celebrating” it.

This happens a lot today in the Digital Age. The media makers — all shouting loudly to be heard over the din of news coverage online, on TV, on the radio and in print — routinely report anniversary stories of noteworthy historical events, many of which have led to the deaths of people. Caught up in the excitement, they sometimes refer to these anniversaries as “celebrations.”

This week, as we mark the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, how can we possibly “celebrate” the deaths of more than 600,000 Americans?

Newspapers sometimes shave a few letters off a word to fit in a headline.

And in radio and television, shorter words sound better than longer ones.

But even if “celebrate” is one less syl-

lable than “commemorate,” and two fewer letters, we — the media — owe it to the thousands who died in the Civil War to use the correct word.

This week marks the anniversary of the first shot of the Civil War — on April 12, 1861 — when Confederate batteries opened fire on federal troops at Fort Sumter, Charleston, S.C. Schools, churches, courthouses and other government buildings in western New York rang their bells for two minutes at 10 a.m. Tuesday as a tribute. In Rensselaer County, a re-enactment group held a ceremonial cannon firing at noon. And in Brooklyn, the Culinary Historians of New York held an evening lecture, “Starving the South: How the North Won the Civil War.” Of all the states, New York sent the most amount of soldiers to the battlefield (about 500,000) during the Civil War and suffered the most amount of casualties (about 53,000 killed).

Many families in the Adirondack North Country region can trace their roots to a Civil War soldier, many coming from the famed 118th New York Volunteer Regiment, known as the Adirondack Regiment. This will be a time to remember those soldiers who fought and those who died to keep the United States whole.

And as we begin this four-year exploration into our history, the question of “Why did we fight the Civil War?” will

be thoroughly examined. Was it states' rights or slavery? In any case, the history of slavery in America will be retold, and New York's contribution to the abolitionists' cause will be marked with events and stories from the Adirondack North Country Region.

Abolitionist John Brown was buried on his farm outside of Lake Placid in 1859, and it is now a state historic site.

And the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association is instrumental in teaching the public about moving runaway slaves through the major Champlain Line of the Underground Railroad from Albany to Canada.

Little is told, however, of the slaves who lived, worked and died in New York state. Perhaps telling these stories could be part of the Civil War sesquicentennial commemoration. In south-

ern Hamilton County, for example, land baron Philip Rhinelander Jr. moved from New York City to what is now Speculator, N.Y., in the early 1800s. He built an estate, complete with a sawmill, orchards, a farm and a mansion. He also had living quarters — and a cemetery — for his slaves. Here in the Adirondack Park, slavery was part of everyday life for some wealthy families.

Slavery is part of our history, a part that should also be told, not celebrated.

Letters to the Editor Upset with items in recent edition It is appalling to read the depth of the misinformation contained in a recent issue of the North Countryman of April 9th.

On page 7, in the second letter to the editor titled “Remembering Victims Have Rights” contains so called information that is so misleading! Completely ignored is the fact that the smallest victims, the preborn, are not even considered as humans! Over 1,000 of these victims’ remains were disposed of with medical waste right here at 66 Brinkerhoff St., Plattsburgh.

The second article from page 15 of the same North Countryman, has an article claiming that Planned Parenthood “marks fourth year in helping sexual assault victims.” Hidden cameras of investigators have revealed that Planned Parenthood helps and instructs pimps on how to circumvent laws against this and hide their activities.

To prove these facts and much more, one

may Google “Lila Rose” and “facts.”

Nuclear crisis brings up point The nuclear crisis in Japan reminds us of the urgent need to develop renewable energy sources. In Vermont, though, controversy rages over which types of renewable energy development are appropriate. But this debate is actually moot. It doesn’t matter whether one believes that wind turbines work or not, or are acceptable on ridge lines. It is a fact of physics that ridge line wind in the Eastern US has very little potential to replace coal and nuclear. According to Department of Energy figures, if all of the onshore commercially viable wind resource of the Eastern United States were developed, only about 17 gigawatts of conven-

tional generation could be offset at best, and probably much less in practice. Compare this with the fact that US demand for electricity is equivalent to 450 gigawatts of continually operating generation, and that electricity accounts for only about one third of our energy consumption.

Only a massive expansion of solar generation has the potential at present to significantly reduce conventional generation in the Eastern U.S. Wind power from offshore or from the Midwest might also contribute in principle, but it is not certain that either resource will be environmentally or economically acceptable. We would be much better off focusing on ramping up solar now, and accelerating its cost reduction in the process, rather than pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into an approach that will mainly just devastate our mountaintop ecosystems, our eco-tourism based economy, and divide our closely knit communities into warring camps.

Publisher’s Viewpoint

New York State should examine selling its leisure facilities F irst let me congratulate Gov. Cuomo, the Assembly, the Senate and their administrative staffs for adopting the budget on time and reducing the tax burden on its citizens. As a small business, we really need the relief this can provide and it’s a great first step in a very long process of returning New York to fiscal responsibility.

Several weeks ago sent out a blanket request for help with the difficult task ahead. With that thought in mind, in a recent conversation with Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, she mentioned a number of state-owned facilities that would appear to not fit with state government.

Given the vast number of areas, the state must exercise control over some of the items on this list, but they just don’t seem to fit in this era. *29 golf courses *52 swimming pools *76 beaches *27 marinas *40 boat launch sites *8,355 campsites All of the above are operated through the New York State Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Beaches and boat launch sites obviously require some form of control and are likely on state borders and in state parks, but it would seem that the state might be best served getting out of things like the golf courses, swimming pools, marinas and

camp grounds. I would have to courses within a 10-mile radius, think that private operators one can only assume it went would be better suited to either bankrupt because the other lease or purchase these facilities courses offered a better experiand let the state focus on more ence for the money.

courses, swimming pools and marinas, which are all leisure time activities?

New York must prioritize where it spends its money and how those expenditures affect the majority of New Yorkers. It won’t happen overnight, but the state needs to begin the process of liquidating these facilities or leasing them to private operators for a sound profit or turning them over to local municipalities whose citizen stand to benefit from their use.

At a point in time, the state could afford to provide these types of facilities, but with the current state of the economy, it can no longer do so, especially if it is subsidizing their continued operations.

If New York state is out to save every community’s valuable assets that are struggling, how far will they go? Will they purchase a local super market, gas station, liquor store, insurance company, or even a newspaper if they get into trouble down the road? These are all value assets to their communities, but isn’t it better to let free enterprise dictate what is valuable and what is not?

Government control and ownership is not the answer to every problem.

Understanding your soil

I

t’s finally happening.

The temperatures are on the rise and spring is soon to be here. This winter was cold, snowy, and long. And if you are anything like me, you are anxious to get out into your lawn and garden. But, we should not be too anxious.

If we get out into our gardens or onto our lawns too soon, we could be damaging the soil. Healthy soil is important for healthy plants.

Working and walking on wet soils can cause soil compaction. Soil compaction occurs when pressure on the soil reduces pore space in the soil. All soil is comprised of organic material and mineral material. Between these particles is empty space or pores. These pores allow both water and air to reach the plant’s roots. Roots need both air for respiration and they absorb water for the plant’s photosynthesis, or food making process.

Soil that contains a significant portion of clay, like the soils found in the Champlain Valley, are more easily compacted. In addition, water acts as a lubricant. Water lets soil particles compress together easier.

Compacted soil reduces the rate of water distribution through the soil to plant roots. In addition, compacted soil reduces air space available for plant roots and will

Avoiding that ‘diet’ mentality

therefore stunt root growth. And if poor drainage from an excess of water being held in the soil and poor aeration aren’t enough to convince you of the undesirability of compacted soil, increased erosion will make you think again, as the water landing on the surface runs off elsewhere because the hard surface on the soil prevents penetration of the water.

Because soil compaction has such negative impacts on our garden plants and lawns, it is best to wait until our soils dry more before cultivating them and walking on them. If you happen to find that your soils are compacted there are numerous commercial products available on the market that you can use to improve the soil. It is best to discuss these with your local nursery or horticultural specialist so that you can get the right type of soil improver suitable for your region and personal needs. The main aim of a soil improver is to bind the soil particles back together again so that it can hold a good structure that won’t compact.

T

he summer is coming and swimsuit season is almost here, get swimsuit ready in just 2 weeks! I hear it and see it in headlines every year and it frustrates me beyond belief. I say it all the time “DIETS” Do NOT work! Especially those with claims like the one above, promising you your dream body in a short amount of time. Crash diets are best to be avoided, or any “diet” for that matter. They will mess up your metabolism and leave you “fatter” than when you started. Most of these “diets” require you to restrict your calories so much that you are not meeting your metabolic needs. While you may drop weight fast, your body will be burning your precious muscle for fuel, not fat. When all is said and done your body fat percentage will be higher than when you started.

Most people who go in diets gain all the weight back plus more! You can bet that the “more” is in the form of body fat leaving you worse off than before you went on the “diet.” This effect is commonly known as “yo-yo” dieting. Please avoid it at all costs.

A healthy way of approaching weight loss is to make gentle changes to your lifestyle and eating habits. Instead of thinking that you will become deprived of your favorite foods, think about what you can add to your current diet to make it healthier. When you look down at your plate is it over loaded with dead brown foods or is it colorful and lively. Remember that you are what you eat and that we eat to nourish our bodies. So if your plate is lacking veggies, start with adding a veggie to each meal. Try eating only until you are no longer hungry instead of eating until you are stuffed. This will teach you to pay closer atten-

tion to how you are feeling when you are eating. Most of the time, we are eating while doing something else, watching TV, reading emails, and even while driving! Try slowing down and take the time to enjoy your food, the textures and the tastes. Add a walk to your lunch break, especially now that the weather is getting nicer, get outside for a nice walk and soak up the sun and fresh air. It will give you a nice mental break as well as sneaking in some exercise.

Cut out the sugar laden sodas, sugary juices, and energy drinks.

You know they are terrible for your health, you hear it all the time, so why put it in your body. Before you eat or drink something. Ask yourself, is this nourishing my body or doing me more harm than good. Then make the decision if you really want to eat it. You have a choice, you are in control. By making simple changes to your lifestyle you can easily turn things around and gain control over your health. Change things up one area at a time or dive head first and tackle multiple areas that can be improved. Either way do what you are ready for and continue to improve by trying something new every week or so. Don’t torture yourself with a DIET. LIVE and enjoy life and what it has to offer. Open your eyes to new experiences, take a deep breath and go! What are you waiting for? Seriously, start today, you will be thanking yourself tomorrow.

Cold-like symptoms found to be something more serious Twenty-one-year-old diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma

NOWPLAYING

By Nancy Lee Destiny

Fri.,March April 15 Fri., 25 - Thurs., April March2131

Special to Denton Publications PLATTSBURGH — When it seemed like she was experiencing an ordinary cold, it came as a big surprise to 21-year-old Samantha Zalusky of Plattsburgh when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

According to Samantha’s mother, Tammy L. Zalusky, Samantha was experiencing a nagging cough and a fever Feb. 28.

“I thought it was the virus going around that was pretty rampant at the time,” said Tammy.

Upon taking Samantha to the emergency room at CVPH Medical Center, doctors initially suspected her daughter had pneumonia, said Tammy. However, after chest Xrays were taken, a mass was found in the middle of Samantha’s chest, larger than a walnut.

“We were advised to have a specialist look at the mass for further diagnosis, said Tammy. “We had a doctor ’s appointment for March 2.”

However, before Samantha could be seen, she had trouble breathing and a fever again.

Her mother said she brought Samantha back to the emergency room where a biopsy was done on the mass, confirming a diagnosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which shocked Samantha and her mother.

“I thought I had a cold. I was totally surprised,” said Samantha.

“She’s always had good health; she’s only 21,” said Tammy.

Samantha had a CAT scan, in which more masses were found in her brain and under both armpits.

Radiation treatment was ruled out because of possible side effects, said Tammy, and Samantha was referred to a specialist at Fletcher Allen Hospital in Burlington, Vt., who put Samantha on a regimen of shots to put her through early menopause. The process will stop Samantha’s body from producing eggs, so the cancer wouldn’t at-

tach itself to her ovaries, though could leave her unable to get pregnant in the future.

“We are fortunate she said. If she wouldn’t have gone to the ER when she did, it could have spread further,” said Tammy.

“Hopefully when the treatments are done, she’ll be back to normal and we can look forward to having grandchildren.”

Samantha’s prognosis is good, but her doctor says “no case is the same,” said Tammy.

“I’m going to beat this,” said Samantha.

Family and friends have already come together to help Samantha and her mother with expenses they’ve incurred in connection to Samantha’s treatments.

Floor resolutions concern Scozzafava

A resolution to add payroll for a parttime member of the County Treasurer ’s office to help file the annual report to the state and to help fund the new Wilmington road race drew the ire of Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava.

“Quite frankly there should have been more discussion on this through committee,” Scozzafava said about the resolution to issue a permit for the use of county roads for the upcoming Wilmington bicycle road race and $6,000 in funding to help promote the event. “These resolutions that appear in the 11th hour at a full board meeting, that come right out of the blue, we have to start getting a handle on that too. I know you have to have 11 or 12 to get it on the floor, but there should be discussion on this through the committee process as there should have been discussion on Ms. Karcher ’s position through the committee process.”

CYC is in the sixth year of a Federal grant which tasks the group with making environmental changes that will discourage underage use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, making them less attractive and more difficult to obtain and use. Other CYC projects include working with the school to introduce evening open hours and an offer to the Village of Lake Placid to fund the acquisition and training of a drug detection dog for the Police Department.

News of the Week Small grains trials support agricultural economy, local foods production WILLSBORO — North Country farmers, bakers, and business owners interested in local, heritage and organic foods are reaping the benefits of research conducted at the 352-acre Cornell University E.V. Baker Agricultural Research Farm located along the Lake Champlain shoreline in Willsboro, NY. Northern New York Agricultural Development Program 2009-2010 Small Grains and Food-Grade Soybeans Variety Trial report data recently posted online and available from Cornell Cooperative Extension offices identifies crops well-adapted to regional growing conditions and processors’ specifications.

“The buy-local, heritage, organically-grown food movement has created increased interest by millers, bakers and consumers in regionally-grown and regionally-processed heritage wheat and food-grade soybeans,” said Baker Farm manager Michael H. Davis. “Finding varieties with solid agronomic characteristics that are well-adapted to the Northern New York regional growing conditions is an essential step toward a profitable cropping season.”

The report in the Field Crops section of the www.nnyagdev.org website includes results for 21 spring wheat varieties, 15 winter wheat varieties, 11 heritage wheat and nine modern wheat varieties, seven emmer wheat varieties, and 22 commerciallyavailable food-grade soybean varieties.

Elizabeth Dyck, Coordinator of the Organic Growers’ Research and Information-Sharing Network (www.ogrin.org) noted Northern New York was once known for high-quality wheat production and says the research managed by Davis is “making a real contribution to reviving this tradition in the region.”

Davis partnered with Dyck to evaluate several heritage varieties of winter wheat and the ancient grain emmer at the Baker Farm. The heritage varieties, grown in the Northeast 80 to 130 years ago, were obtained from Dr. Mark Sorrells’ breeding program at Cornell University. Steven Zwinger of North Dakota State University supplied spring emmer wheat varieties for trial.

“Several heritage wheat varieties have shown distinctive taste and excellent baking qualities. Emmer, also known as faro, is in increasing demand by consumers for its delicious taste as a cooked grain and in flat breads and pasta. The Northern New York trials at the Baker Farm provide invaluable information to farmers on which of these potentially high-value varieties to grow and how to manage them,” Dyck says.

Champlain Valley Milling in Westport, produces “all-New York” whole wheat and white flours. It uses wheat, including one ancient variety, grown in Northern New York.

“The on-farm research carried out in Northern New York is a critical component in developing a high quality and steady supply of wheat for processing into flour for commercial and consumer bakers,” said owner Sam Sherman. The challenge is to get everyone growing the same variety for consistency.”

Davis said the multiple-year trials at the Baker Farm allow for evaluation of the best growing practices, such as tilling and soil fertility, as well as testing for high-quality yield potential for the various crops under a variety of weather conditions.

Community shows support for local animal shelter renovations

By Mary Weinstein

Special to Denton Publications

PERU — Elmore SPCA continues to receive support from the local community during their renovation process, according to members of the non profit organization’s board of directors.

According to board president Inger Joy, in 2007, animals had to be removed from the former Elmore SPCA facility on Telegraph street, consequent of its dire need for repairs.

“In the old facility, the heating system was inefficient, the wiring outdated and hazardous, the septic was in need of replacement, and the building was riddled with mice,” said Joy. The shelter was moved to Arthur Road and, since then, extensive renovations have been initiated to address the buildings issues, as well as the needs of its employees and shel-

tered animals. The focobs, Joe Girardi, and “Many of these people not only cus of the renovations Ed Gove worked on inhave a deep lo ve of animals , they has largely been centerior partitions. also understand the importance of tered on energy effiFollowing these imwhat w e do t o help homeless , provements, monetary ciency and quality anabused, and neglected companion donations have been reimal care.

Joy stated the board’s appreciation for the support, but noted much more is needed.

“We are encouraging other schools and

school organizations to take up the challenge to raise money for the shelter renovations,” she said.

The Telegraph street facility still needs a new electrical and heating system, septic system, and larger kennels.

“Many of our kennels are over 40 years old,” exclaimed Joy. According to Joy, Elmore SPCA is an integral element of the community, caring for abandoned, abused and sickly animals, educating the public about animal care, and maintaining the stray population.

Thus, many volunteers are motivated by a desire to facilitate the SPCA. “Many of these people not only have a deep love of animals, they also understand the importance of what we do to help homeless, abused, and neglected companion animals in need,” said Joy. For more information, to donate or volunteer visit www.elmorespca.org or contact the shelter office at 643-2451.

PERU — Vickie J. Trombley has been known as a true goodwill ambassador, demonstrating her compassion for animals at the Elmore SPCA shelter, and Easter time is no different.

The Au Sable Forks woman is known by many for driving a van decorated as a sleigh during the Christmas season, arriving at the shelter with a variety of pet food, toys, new collars, leashes, and a bounty of other pet supplies. However, her work doesn’t stop there.

Before Christmas, Trombley spends her time during the year securing donations from family, friends and businesses in Plattsburgh, Peru and Au Sable Forks. She even places coin banks throughout her home community as well as Keeseville, Jay and Wilmington, all in the name of helping Elmore SPCA. During this time of year, though, she is known for arranging Easter baskets she raffles to benefit the shelter. The baskets — designed for boys and girls ages 3 through 8 — are filled with items such as coloring books, crayons, stuffed animals, dolls, card games, and candy.

“Through her on-going efforts, she has greatly helped homeless animals, provided needed monetary donations to the shelter, and has made many friends among the SPCA board of directors and staff,” said Carol M. Solari-Ruscoe, secretary of the board of directors. “I think the world of her.”

The motivation Trombley has to help other animals stems from the love she has for her cat, Buddy, a rescue animal who was one day seriously injured. Though Buddy is fine to-

day, that’s when Trombley realized just how much an impact Buddy had on her life, she said.

“I never want anyone else to feel what I felt that day,” Trombley said as she was tearing up and choking back her emotions in a different voice than moments before. “He needed me and I had to make sure he survived it and he did, so I promised if he made it through, I would help other animals.”

Trombley’s Easter baskets are being raffled at local Grand Union locations and Stewart’s Shops in Peru. Currently, there are 16 baskets to be raffled.

For more information about the Easter baskets, contact Trombley at 647-5264.

Saranac man sustains severe gunshot wound SARANAC — One man is in critical condition and another is in custody following a shooting incident in the town of Saranac.

According to state police, Jamie F. LaPorte, 35, Saranac, sustained a single gunshot wound to the head while at the Standish Road residence of Clark P. Ray, 42, also of Saranac, April 10. A preliminary investigation revealed LaPorte then drove himself from the scene and drove into a snow bank on Cold Brook Road. Police and rescue personnel were then notified at 11:49 p.m.

LaPorte, who remained conscious, reportedly provided details of the shooting incident, indicating there were numerous weapons in Ray’s residence. State police responded to the residence and established a perimeter at which time Ray reportedly failed to exit the residence or communicate with authorities.

A search warrant was obtained for Ray’s residence, and efforts to establish communication with Ray continued throughout the morning but were unsuccessful.

The state police Special Operations Response Team entered the mobile home at approximately 12:39 p.m., taking Ray into custody. Several weapons and other evidence were seized during the execution of the search warrant.

Ray was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and third-degree criminal sale of a weapon.

The shooting remains under investigation.

LaPorte was transported to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt., where he underwent surgery for a gunshot wound to the head. As of Tuesday morning, he remained hospitalized in the intensive care unit in critical condition.

Organization gets boost from Stewart’s Shops KEESEVILLE — The Champlain Valley Search and Rescue K9 Unit has been named a $200 grant recipient from the Stewart’s Shops Holiday Match program.

Champlain Valley Search and Rescue was one of numerous organizations that applied for the grant during the 2010 holiday application period. In order to qualify, organizations had to be taxexempt under IRS section 501(c)(3). The funding is made possible annually by donations from Stewart’s Shops customers which are matched by the corporation.

“We are deeply touched by the outpouring of goodwill from Stewart’s customers,” said Shannon Bressett, co-founder of Champlain Valley Search and Rescue. “This way people here in our local area can see where their donations went and how it is being used. We look forward to teaching more children how to be safe and stay safe when out exploring their world.”

The funds will be used for educational programs provided by the K9 unit for children 18 years and younger.

Kate Messner’s new book due out next month

By Nancy Lee Destiny

Special to Denton Publications

Author Kate Messner poses for a photo with third-grader Sarah Davidson at a recent book signing at Momot Elementary School. Messner’s new book, "Marty Mcguire,” is due out next month.

Photo by Justin Prue

PLATTSBURGH — Author Kate Messner loves writing and her latest work takes her to a new chapter in her own writing career.

Messner, a 7th grade English teacher at Stafford Middle School, has written her first chapter book. "Marty Mcguire" — a 160-page work published by Scholastic — centers on Marty, a young girl who would rather spend recess catching frogs in the pond than playing dress-up with the other girls in her third grade class. In Messner's new book, Marty is cast as the princess in the class play, which Marty believes is an obvious mistake.

She gets into trouble along the way because of her adventurous and creative spirit, and hilarity ensues, said Messner.

“Marty like many of my characters, has traits I’ve borrowed from several different people. Like me, she’s not a huge fan of dressing up, and like everyone in my family, she loves spending time in nature,“ said Messner, adding Marty is like many of the student’s Messner has taught during her 15-year teaching career.

Messner started writing the book

after her daughter asked when she would write about her. Other children Messner has taught had asked her that same question. So, after just finishing writing a historic novel set in times of war, Messner felt the need for a change — something "fun," she said.

The award-winning author thought it would be a nice challenge because her previous books were picture books or novels and a chapter book was a hybrid of sorts — a book with a more in-depth story and still have illustrations that would keep the reader imagining and amused, Messner said.

"Marty's voice showed up in my head,” said Messner.

Marty Mcguire is due out simultaneously in hardcover, paperback and audiobook Sunday, May 1. The book, geared toward children in grades three through five, is the first in a series. The second book, "Marty Mcguire Digs Worms," is due out in February 2012.

Copies of Marty McGuire and Messner's other works may be purchased in local bookstores and on-line through her Web site, www.katemessner.com.

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — David Nappi is among outstanding produce managers that will be honored at an awards program this May. Nappi, who serves as produce manager for Price Chopper ’s Plattsburgh location, was recently named an honoree through the United Fresh Produce Association’s Retail Produce Manager Awards Program. The program, sponsored by Ready Pac Foods, pays special recognition to those on the front-line in supermarkets working everyday to increase sales and consump-

tion of fresh fruits and vegetables. The recognition goes to those representing 21 different supermarket chains, commissaries and independent retail stores in 17 states and Canada.

Nappi called the recognition a great honor.

“I’ve been in the business for about 40 years now and it’s a huge honor to be recognized by my peers and companies involved with United Fresh,” said Nappi. “I never expected this.”

“These men and women have such an undeniable impact on our industry,” United Fresh president and chief executive officer Tom Stenzel said in a prepared state-

ment. “In so many cases, they are the face of the fresh fruit and vegetable industry for our consumers, and these produce managers represent the best of the best at their craft. Through their creative efforts and interaction with customers, they’re making produce a centerpiece of the retail shopping experience and wowing consumers every day.”

Nappi was the only produce manager in New York State announced to receive the recognition. He will join other award winners and their corporate produce directors for a banquet at the Hilton Riverside Hotel in New Orleans, La.

Garden applications due April 20 PLATTSBURGH — Cornell Cooperative Extension is sponsoring 10 Square Foot Garden projects this year, with any educational or non-profit organization able to apply. Participants will receive all materials, including plants, for construction of a 4 ft. by 4 ft. garden. They will also receive technical assistance for their project from a volunteer with a Master Gardener Program to advise them in planning, planting and caring for their garden. The actual care of the garden must be done by the participants.

The advantages of a concentrated, raised bed for gardening are many. Weeds have little room to take hold an are easy to pull out, water is conserved by being used in a concentrated space, plant roots thrive in the improved soil contained in the raised bed, and this garden can be installed right on top of an existing lawn, with just a thick layer of newspaper beneath to smother the grass. Many people find the slightly raised garden easier to work around and the garden can be raised even higher to allow wheelchair access if necessary.

Funding for this project is provided by the Chapel Hill Foundation. Applications are due by Wednesday, April 20.

For more information or an application, call Jolene Wallace at 962-4810 or e-mail jmw442@cornell.edu. More information is available on-line at http://ecgardening.cce.cornell.edu.

Community garden group expands offering this year

New State Route 3 location named in memory of Mary Hulbert

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — There’s new life being breathed into an old garden thanks to the support of the Plattsburgh Community Garden Group and one local business.

Through a collaboration between the green-thumbed, grassroots gardening group and Hulbert Bros.

Supply Company, a second location for the Plattsburgh Community Garden is sprouting up on State Route 3, adjacent to the Plattsburgh Hulbert Bros. location.

Allison Hubert-Bruce, showroom manager for the Plattsburgh location, said she approached PCGG chairman Doug Butdorf after hearing about the group’s efforts to get more people interested in growing foods locally. Her grandmother, the late Mary Hulbert, had lived next

door and gardened in a spot between the two properties for several years until she passed away in 2003. The garden not only produced many foods, but many memories for Hulbert-Bruce and Hulbert’s other family members as well.

“I still remember coming out of work at night and visiting with her while she was gardening,” said Hulbert-Bruce.

When her grandmother passed away, Hulbert-Bruce said the garden went by the wayside. Until now.

Established as “The Mary Hulbert Memorial Community Garden,” the State Route 3 location will build upon the PCGG’s tradition of sustainable growth started locally at Melissa L. Penfield Park on Boynton Avenue.

“We know that it’s great place to grow, because Mary Hulbert, who we named the garden for, gardened

Allison Hubert-Bruce, center, joined by brother Lance Hulbert, left, and cousin Dale Miner, will welcome gardeners to “The Mary Hulbert Memorial Community Garden” on State Route 3 next to Hulbert Bros. Supply Company. The garden is named for their late grandmother, who was an avid gardener.

there for years and years,” said Butdorf. “We’d like to see at least some of the success that she saw.”

“We’re really excited just to have it used again,” said Hulbert-Bruce.

“Gardening is something that was very important to my grandparents and still is to my parents as well as the rest of our family. We all grew up around gardening. It’ll be great to come out of work at night and see people working up there again.”

The PCGG will hold a lottery assignment for first-time gardeners who apply for a plot in either allotment-style community garden. The drawing will be held this Saturday, April 16, at the Every Day Earth Day Celebration at the Plattsburgh Crafters and Farmers Market Pavilion on Durkee Street, beginning at 12 p.m. The event will also include a seed swap in which growers may exchange seeds to diversify their

gardens.

Information booths sponsored by the PCGG, Cornell Cooperative Extension and Cook and Gardener will be among those to also help novice gardeners.

For more information about the Plattsburgh Community Garden, contact Butdorf at 569-1907 or dbutdorf@gmail.com. More information may also be found at www.plattsburghcommunitygarden.org.

Mayor Donald M. Kaspzak’s office deferred comments on the matter to Chief Desmond Racicot with the Plattsburgh Police Department. A call to Racicot was not immediately returned.

Regardless of the stance of city officials, Taber said he’ll welcome Girls Gone Wild and the business that he expects will follow.

“The fundraisers we’ve done, charities we’ve donated to, all the organizations we’ve helped, and this is what catches the most attention right out the gate,” said Taber. “The fact is, we have to be as creative as we can with the knowledge we have of this business.”

It’s our responsibility as a business to generate money so it can circulate throughout the economy ... and something like this will bring people out,” he added.

Girls Gone Wild is expected to be in town Friday night beginning at 9 p.m.

2011 Seton Catholic Knights Tennis Roster

“For both the girls’ and boys’ team our strength lies in our middle/distance events,” head coach Kathy Champagne said. “On the boys’ side, Zach Ziemer, Barrett Waling, Mitchell Ryan, James Downs and Justin Bresette should help the Knights.“

Girls “The girls' team has been CVAC Division II champs for the last three years,” Champagne said. ”Section VII Steeplechase record holder, Anna Rabideau, is rehabbing an injury and hopes to compete by the end of the season. Watch for newcomers Alexis Persson (throws), Margaret Champagne, Maddy Armani-Munn, and New Balance Indoor Nationals Freshman Mile Qualifier, Melissa Whyman, to make an impact. Freshman Paige Spittler and senior sprinter Rhea Breyette will also help the team.”

Returning players key for Beekmantown tennis squads in 2011

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — The Beekmantown boys and girls tennis squads are looking to remain competitive with a number of returning players from successful teams in 2010.

Boys “This season we plan on having a fun and competitive year,” said boys head coach Dan Rillahan. “We lost the top player in the league (Adam Shearer) but we will return three all-stars in Mark Price, Eric Mitchell and Charles Payson.”

Rillahan said that the Eagles look forward to the competition as they attempt to defend

their CVAC and sectional titles.

“The top teams this year will be NCCS, PHS and Lake Placid,” he said. “All of our players have good experience.”

Girls “Our team has great work ethic and sportsmanship,” girls head coach Jay Magiera said. “Team unity and love of the sport are also key strengths. We have several returners from last year that will help our team prevail this season.”

Magiera said that the team has to stay together to help the Lady Eagles reach their goals “Teamwork is key in having a successful season,” Magiera said. “Physical fitness, attitude, and having the right mind set will be a major help.”

Senior leadership key for Lady Eagles softball team

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com B E E K M A N TO W N — Wi t h s e v e n s e n iors, five with three years of varsity experience, the Beekmantown varsity softball program is looking to its leadership during the 2011 season.

“I feel we should have strong senior leadership,” head coach Greg Myers said.

“Hilarie Ladieu has much experience on the mound, and the outfield should be strong. We return six starters, and look to build on last years’ success. Hopefully, we can reach the high goals we have set for ourselves.

Many players gained v a l u a b l e e x p e r i e n c e l a s t y e a r, a n d t h i s years group of newcomers give us some valuable depth and competition for playing time.”

Myers said his questions come in the infield, where three of the five positions

will be filled by newcomers.

“Ashley Myers at second and Dakota Prue behind the plate are the only returners,” he said. “Emily Raville looks to be pretty good at short with a lot of competition at first and third.”

The Eagles lost Marlee Brown, Megan Leary, Megan Rivers and Olivia Newgarden to graduation.

Also on the roster are seniors Colleen Bradley, Taylor Manor, Danyka Hemingway and Michelle Cressey.

Juniors Emily Beatty and Molly Sorrell a re j o i n e d b y s o p h o m o re s K e n d r a LaFountain, Hannah Newgarden, Danell Schwartz.

“I believe that we should be in the hunt for the Division I title, however, PHS and P e ru w i l l a l s o b e v e r y t o u g h , ” M y e r s said. “In Division II, Ti should again be one of the best teams in the league.”

PHS track team has balance in experience, youth

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh High School varsity track team is ready to compete with the rest of the CVAC during the 2011 season with a balanced lineup of youth and experience on both the girls and boys squads.

Girls “We have a pretty even balance of strengths across the board,” said co-head coach Corey Mousseau. “We will be competitive in most of the track events this year.

Our greatest strength lies with our middle distance squad. The keys to our success this

season will be with veteran Emma Deshaies (mid distance), Hillary Miller (Mid – D), and Emmy Russell (sprinting/hurdles).”

Mousseau said that he wants to see how the team improves and reaches to its potential.

“A successful season will be one in which we maximize our potential as a team,” Mosseau said. “We have a great deal of youth on the team, this could be great or bad. If these young ladies can harness their potential early on and peak at the right time we may have ourselves a sectional-worthy team.”

Boys “Our team has a pleasant mix of veteran’s

leadership and youth,” Mousseau said. “We have a well rounded team with depth for the first time in years. Our strengths lie within the specialty events and sprinters.

Captains Andrew Favro and Tejinder Gill are expected to lead the middle distance teams, along with Andrew’s discus. Returner Justin Curtis (took last year off) is expected to do well in the jumping events. We have three eighth graders on the team hoping to make an immediate impact as well.“ Mousseau said that the team is gearing up for a run at the Section VII title.

“We are expecting a solid push for the sectional title,” he said. “Our measurement of success this year will be how well we do at sectionals.”

Pitching a strength for Hornets baseball team

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — There’s depth, and then there is depth.

For Plattsburgh High varsity baseball coach Jim Manchester, there is plenty of depth when it comes to who can take the mound for the Hornets.

“We have some pitching depth with 10 of our 15 players able to take the mound and be

effective,” Manchester said.

At the top of the pitching rotation will be a pair of seniors in Joe Tolosky and Anthony Porcelli.

The Hornets also return five starters and seven players overall from the team that made it to the sectional finals in 2010.

“With this core group of seniors returning, our team chemistry has been very good and should get better after the team spends a week together in Myrtle Beach during

Hard work key for PHS tennis

The gang’s back for PHS softball

By Keith Lobdell

PLATTSBURGH — All starting members of the 2010 Plattsburgh High School varsity softball team that made it to the Section VII championship last season.

“We are returning their entire starting line up with five seniors leading the way,” head coach Victoria McMillan said. “So hopefully the experience of playing together for a second and for the a few seniors, third year in a row will be helpful throughout the season.”

McMillan said that there are a number of players that will again be asked to step up for the Lady Hornets.

“Megan Jubert and Lizzy Mahan in the outfield along with middle infielders Taylor

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Amanda Oliver feels that the Plattsburgh varsity girls tennis team has the right mix of experience and youth heading into the 2011 season.

“We have a lot of competitive spirits,” Oliver said. “Many girls either played last year or played a variety of other sports.

They are hard-working and already have a sense of team unity.”

However, Oliver said that there will be a steep learning curve for some of the players.

“Even though some girls are familiar with the sport, for many, this is their first year playing,” she said.

Our seniors will lead the way thru experience and determination to make the most of their last season.”

Overall, McMillan said that the game, as always, comes down to making the plays needed to win.

“We need to play good fundamental softball including getting the little things right,” she said. “Becoming a solid unit will take sometime.We need to finish plays and play smart softball at every position. A team goal is to win more games than last year. Focusing on the little things is a must in order to accomplish that goal.”

Let me out the door, please!

O

ver the course of a long academic career, recess was my favorite class. I would’ve majored in it, if I could’ve. From an early age, I was always more interested in matters outside the windows, than in matters inside the classroom.

In our school, recess was nearly always conducted outside. It was freedom in the fresh air with an opportunity to achieve the dirty shoes and grass-stained pants to prove it.

If you didn’t get dirty, you weren’t really having any fun.

Recess provided a reprieve from the monotony of the classroom. It offered relief and recovery from the boring subjects, but afterward, the math and science always seemed easier to swallow.

Research now indicates that recess was actually good for my academic achievement. Studies show that the best way to improve a child’s performance in the classroom, may be by removing them from it.

A recent study suggests that play time may actually be as important to academic achievement as reading, writing and arithmetic. Research indicates that regular recess, fitness or nature time can influence classroom behavior, concentration and even grades.

Published in the Journal of Pediatrics, a new study considers links between recess and classroom behavior among about 11,000 school chil-

the ‘burgh

dren ages 8 and 9. Results indicate that children who had more than 15 minutes of recess a day exhibited better behavior in the classroom, than those who had little or no recess time.

Additional results indicate that students who have a regular opportunity for outdoor recreation have better concentration and exhibit greater retention of subject matter.

Lead researcher, Dr. Romina M. Barros, a pediatrician and an assistant clinical professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, explained that the findings were important because many schools do not view recess as essential to education.

Dr. Barros explained, “we should understand that kids need a break, because the brain needs that break.”

The study revealed that many children are not getting that break. On average, researchers discovered that 30 percent of school children had little or no daily recess opportunities.

Another report found that 40 percent of schools surveyed had cut back at least one daily recess period. It also revealed that teachers commonly punish children by revoking recess privileges.

Dr. Barros described such actions as illogical.

“Recess should be part of the curriculum,” she explained. “You don’t punish a kid by having them miss math class, so kids shouldn’t be punished by not getting recess.”

Beekmantown brings balance to the track

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — The Beekmantown varsity girls track and field team will be able to score points in a number of events with a balanced lineup in 2011.

“The strengths I foresee are having an array of events covered like sprinters, distance, jumpers, hurdlers, and throwers,” head coach Barbara Drake said. “As I see it, Jess Huber will continue to stand-out as out top sprinter. She was a two-event state competitor. Distance shows strong showings for Amanda Peterson and Stephanie Clookey. Jumpers seem to be strong with height in high jump and a big showing for long/triple jumping. A variety of throwing ability, as well.”

Drake said that she is pleased to have a number of newcomers on the roster to help with team numbers.

“We are a team with lots of newcomers,” she said. “Some would say this may be a weakness of ours, but I think of it as room for continuous growth. Our distance may be small, but shows real promise.”

Drake said that the team has their sights

Harvard researchers back up such claims. A report in The Journal of School Health indicates that the more physical fitness tests children passed, the better they achieved on academic tests. The study, conducted with over 1,800 middle school students, suggests that children can benefit academically from physical activity during gym class or recess.

Pay attention, naturally Researchers believe that the reason children perform better after exposure to the outdoors may be that the brain utilizes two distinct forms of attention.

“Directed” attention allows us to concentrate on topics such as work, reading and tests, while “involuntary” attention takes over when we’re distracted by things like a driving rain, trees blowing in the wind, or a stunning sunset. I guess it really wasn’t my fault, that I was always

set high in 2011.

“I have high hopes for my team even though we may be a young team,” Drake said. “We plan to compete at the highest caliber we can. Any team is beatable or considered a threat. I only ask that my girls compete at their best ability and to grow and improve their track and field talent.”

“involuntarily” looking out the window,.

A growing body of evidence indicates that exposure to nature is also very beneficial for children with attention deficit disorders. In the process of enjoying such naturally captivating scenes as waterfalls, these children allow their brain’s directed attention the opportunity to rest.

Directed attention is a limited resource, and concentrating for long periods can leave us drained. Yet natural settings, which appear to activate involuntary attention, give the brain’s directed attention an opportunity to rest. At the same time, these opportunities also teach children how to direct their attention in a natural manner.

Directed attention requires our concentration, while involuntary attention, also known as fascination; grabs us and commands our attention. It is relaxing and does not result in attentional fatigue. Researchers believe that natural settings are particularly effective in restoring attention span and reducing attention fatigue.

Of course, those of us who are regularly fascinated by nature, already knew this fact. We worked on the topic regularly through the classroom windows, and we were always the first ones out the door, to study it during recess.

Church to host community Seder meal Special to Denton Publications PERU — Though a Seder meal is often known for its including in Jewish Passover celebrations, Lana Knight said it’s also an important celebration for Christians.

Knight, who serves as Peru Community Church’s director of Christian education, said the meal — which pertains to the Last Supper and initiation of holy communion — is something that also demonstrates meaningfulness to those of the Christian faith.

“Passover dinner, celebrates the turning point between [Jesus’] triumphant entry and his death on the cross,” said Knight.

Peru Community Church hosts an annual Seder meal — slated this year for Thursday, April 21 — which begins with a ceremonial plate containing six symbolic items such as egg, parsley, shank bone, cherub fat,lettuce, and a bitter herb.

“Each one of those is explained during the Seder ceremony,” noted Knight.

The 15-minute ritual is followed by the reg-

James J. Savage, 72 LAKELAND, Fla. — James Joseph Savage, a native of Lyon Mountain, passed away March 25, 2011. Funeral services will be held at a later date.

June M. Duffy, 82 WINCHESTER, Mass. — June M. (O’Connor) Duffy, 82, formerly Plattsburgh, passed away March 27, 2011. Funeral services will be held 9 a.m. Saturday, July 23, at St. John’s Church, Plattsburgh. Burial will follow at Mt. Carmel Cemetery.

Rose LaFountain, 89 ELLENBURG — Rose LaFountain, 89, passed away March 28, 2011. Funeral services were held April 6 at Ross Funeral Home, Ellenburg Depot, which was in

ular dinner, and an optional Maundy Thursday or “Tenebrae” service at 7 p.m.

The Seder meal is increasingly celebrated as part of holy week by many Christians, who are celebrating Jesus’ life and work.

“The Seder dinner was used by Jesus to explain his ministry one last time. Many people don’t realize it was the first time he said, ‘Do this in memory of me,’” said Knight.

An important element of the Seder dinner is inviting others to celebrate. The inclusion of others was requested by Jesus, to spread the faith, she said.

“It is common practice to invite others to a Seder meal,” said Knight. “To pronounce one’s christianity after Jesus’ death— you were sure to die, Christianity was very secretive. That’s why the Seder is open to everyone, to share the faith,” said Knight.

Despite its affiliation with the church, Knight stressed the impartiality and noncommittal elements of the Seder dinner.

“There’s no obligation, it’s just an interesting thing to sit through,” she said.

The meal and recitations will also be most-

ly in English.

“It’s a very much passive role as guests, mostly observation.” she said.

Donations to defray the cost of the meal are appreciated, as well as a pre-dinner head count.

“We were able to cover the cost of the meal last year, which was really great,” said Knight.

All ages are welcome, and supplemental handouts, including coloring books will be available.

Knight emphasized the educational and non-threatening elements of the ceremony.

“It takes the mystery out of the Seder rituals. It’s a cool thing that people should try at least once,” said Knight.

The Seder meal will be held next Thursday beginning at 5:30 p.m. The dinner will be held at the fellowship center, located at 13 Elm St. For more information,call 643-8641.
