But a court-ordered liquidation, which would make it easier for passengers stranded by the airline to be reimbursed, casts doubt on the comeback of the company that once flew out of Plattsburgh International Airport.

Local stores fall victim to the battered economy

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com

This Wilson Farms in Peru, along with a store in Plattsburgh, will close at the month’s end due to disappointing sales.

PLATTSBURGH — The Great Recession continues to leave victims in its wake as a pair of area Wilson Farms stores close their doors at the end of the month.

The stores in the towns of Plattsburgh and Peru were apparently doomed by disappointing sales.

The 7-Eleven Corporation purchased the 188 Wilson Farms locations in April of 2011, including other area locations in Keeseville, West Chazy, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and Wilmington.

"It is always bad when you lose a business," said Peru Town Supervisor Peter Glushko. "Hopefully someone will come in and open something similar that the residents in Peru would want.

"Hopefully the Wilson Farms people will take care of the workers that were laid off, though I understand they are offering them other positions."

Wilson Farms will be able to provide some employees with jobs at other locations.

The Peru store is located at the intersection of Bear Swamp Road and Route 22. The Plattsburgh Store is located at the intersection of Military Turnpike and Irish Settlement Road.

The first Wilson Farms opened on Englewood Drive in Tonawanda, NY in 1969, named after a farm the company owned in Wilson, NY. In 1991, the Ahold corporation purchased Tops Markets, LLC, which included Wilson Farms.

Wilson Farms celebrated the opening of its 100th store in 1997, three

Psychologist wants to connect with parents

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com CHAZY — Kristin McAuliffe, a school psychologist and parent, doesn’t have all the answers when it comes to child rearing.

“I am searching for answers and strategies on a daily basis.”

It was during one such search this past winter, as she felt the need to connect, that an idea popped into her head.

“It is such a huge job to

parent today.”

The school psychologist who provides services to preschool-age children at North Country Kids is starting the Parent Enrichment Book Series at the Chazy Public Library this month. It will run on the last Thursday of the month, for six months, starting April 26, though McAuliffe hopes the group continues beyond that.

It is free and open to the public, and anyone can attend.

resident of Chazy or have a library card,” said McAuliffe, who has a six-year-old daughter, Ava, and Jack, who is three.

The series will help those who attend discover new literature and foster dialogue among those in attendance.

Each session highlights a certain area of child development, with the first three targeting early and middle childhood and the last three, adolescence.

April’s topic is “Literature in the Early Years,” focusing on the importance of spoken and written works in the early life of a child and how it can inspire a lifetime of reading.

Those in attendance will discuss “The Reading Solution: Make Your Child a Reader for Life,” by Paul Kropp.

Ever since McAuliffe first became a mom, she started searching online for parenting books that went beyond basics, such as feeding.

“This is about how to make the home environment more positive and lower stress, and it is a way for people to connect,” she said.

“This is how to be an active

participant, and there will be topics that pinpoint specific challenges.”

Some of the topics include early relationships between peers and siblings, sensory processing, positive guidance and behaviors, raising adolescents, emotional wellness and relieving stress.

McAuliffe hopes the meetings take a natural path as those attending make insightful and personal connections. It is targeted to-

ward parents, grandparents, caregivers, expecting parents, day-care providers, teachers and anyone interested in a child’s well-being.

It is about being part of a child’s life and recognizing that role and learning new things to meet the needs of a child. There is always change, transformation and the opportunity for growth, McAuliffe said.

For her it is the coming together of being a mom, read-

er and professional and merging those perspectives into one.

But she stresses that she will be as much a participant as facilitator in the program.

“I haven’t figured it all out,” she said. “And this is because I have not figured it all out.”

The first meeting is 6 p.m. on April 26 at the Chazy Public Library.

Second Annual Rockeater Adventure Race PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh's obstacle and adventure course is back to for a second year.

On Saturday, Sept. 15 2012, the City of Plattsburgh will be hosting the second annual “Rockeater Adventure Race” at the Plattsburgh City Beach.

The 5K (3.1 mile) race, presented by Plattsburgh Recreation Department and 99.9 the Buzz, will start at the main swim area of the beach at 2 p.m. Waves of runners will start every 30 minutes.

Participants can expect the

race to be along the beach, Heritage Trail, Scomotion Creek area, and along the Crete Civic Center area.

The race will include over a dozen obstacles.

Fan-favorites like the mud pit, tunnel crawl, scramble net, water wading, and fire jumping will be back. Organizers will add a number of new and challenging obstacles to the course as well.

Spectators can enjoy seeing many of the obstacles in the area between the back of the Crete Civic Center and the main swim area of the beach.

“The Plattsburgh City Beach property offers an unprecedented opportunity to host this unique event,” said Steve Peters, Superintendent of Recreation.

Most racers participated in the costume contest, so we had John the Baptist, Bam Bam and Pebbles, and the Smurfs running in the race and plunging into the mud pit, which added to a great atmosphere. This year will only be bigger and better.”

The costume contest will return for a second year with prizes for the best costumes.

The Burgh Editorial

Online historic newspapers an asset

F

or years, loyal readers, researchers and editorial staffers have yearned to flip through back issues of the various papers owned

by Denton Publications, whether they want information from two years in the past, 20 years ago or all the way back in the 1800s. Well, we have some good news.

We recently signed an agreement with the Potsdam-based Northern New York Library Network to have News Enterprise issues from 1924 to the present digitized and placed on a searchable website. We will soon be part of the Northern New York Historical Newspapers project, located online at http://news.nnyln.net.

The Northern New York Library Network is a consortium of public, academic and specialized libraries chartered to improve library service for North Country residents. It has a long history of newspaper preservation, including preservation microfilming in the 1980s and local coordination of the New York State Newspaper Project in the 1990s.

In 2004, the network launched Northern New York Historical Newspapers to enhance access to the region’s local history. Serving seven counties — Essex, Franklin, Clinton, St. Lawrence, Lewis, Jefferson and Oswego — the online collection now contains almost 2.3 million pages from 52 newspapers. The newspapers span more than 200 years.

The oldest issues on the website come from the Plattsburgh Republican and date from 1811, three years before the famed Battle of Plattsburgh during the War of 1812. In the April 12, 1811 issue, we find out who has mail left at the post office, who died that week, who got married, who wrote letters to the editor, and which state senators’ seats needed to be filled during the lieutenant governor ’s election.

For the history buff, the genealogy hobbyist and the serious researcher, Northern New York Historical Newspapers is a treasure trove of information.

People can easily get mesmerized by the volumes of stories here. Time flies when you are having fun learning about local history.

The process of digitizing the News Enterprise from 1924 to the present will be routine. The Adirondack Museum’s librarian has graciously given us permission to use their microfilm copies of

the paper and will loan them to the NNYLN. The microfilm will be scanned, and the images will be run through optical character recognition (OCR) software and be indexed. The indexed images will then be placed on the Network’s web server, interfaced with a search engine and made available to the public over the Internet.

When we began researching this project in February, we didn’t know how much the digitization project would cost or where we would put the issues online. After all, the Northern New York Historical Newspapers project does not serve most of the News Enterprise’s readership: the Warren County town of Johnsburg and the Hamilton County towns of Indian Lake and Long Lake.

Luckily, our paper serves the Essex County towns of Minerva and Newcomb, so we were welcomed into the Network’s family.

And, because we are part of the family, digitizing the News Enterprise will be free for us. We can’t thank the Network and the Adirondack Museum enough for their generosity.

We’re not sure when the back issues of the News Enterprise will be available online, but we’re hoping it will be sometime in 2012. We hope to get even more historic newspapers online in the future.

Other newspapers in the Denton lineage currently available on Northern New York Newspapers are the Ticonderoga Sentinel (forefather of the Times of Ti), the Rouses Point North Countryman (forefather of the North Countryman) and the Essex County Republican (forefather of the Valley News).

Our history is there: “This issue of the Essex County Republican begins a new chapter in this paper ’s long and distinguished career of service to its many North Country readers,” began the May 10, 1968 issue of the Essex County Republican, announcing that Denton Publications had acquired the Essex County Republican.

The secret cost of privilege C

ritics of government spending and entitlement programs say too much money is thrown at public education, welfare and other programs.

They claim the results indicate money is being wasted and it is time to start reducing funding instead of increasing it, even in the wake of soaring costs.

I say the so-called results are meaningless, and the reason is because the way the programs are designed now they are sure to fail, or rather not meet their objectives.

And that is because, much, much more money needs to be funneled to these programs and not less. These programs don’t even have a chance to succeed at their goals because they do not receive adequate funding to do the job.

The tragic aspect of this is that critics don’t want to spend the money, but want to save it, and what they don’t realize is by being proactive and spending more money to adequately fund such

programs, a significant amount of money would ultimately be saved.

Let’s start with welfare. I envision a social services department that not only responds to the needs of those caught in near hopeless and sometimes horrific situations, but one that focuses its efforts on ending cycles of poverty, abuse, neglect, even addiction.

Instead of just providing those in need with food stamps, health insurance and cash assistance, truly provide them with the tools they need so they no longer rely on the system but are empowered and raise children that hopefully never have to rely on the system.

Imagine how much money that would save.

First, critics need to get over this notion that we all have the same opportunities, because dysfunction can present many obstacles on the road to success. A child who grows up in an abusive household does not, at 18, have the same opportunities as a child who grows up in a healthy, functioning and loving home. The latter will possess many more tools

Stephen Bartlett

From the Editor’s Desk to tackle life’s challenges and meet his or her goals. The former may not even know there are goals out there he or she can achieve, let alone dream about.

Another example would be Tim, who comes from a healthy, wealthy, loving and supportive household. Tim goes on to become a surgeon and works at a top hospital.

Then there is Eric, who is abused and neglected his entire life, always wondering if there will be food on the table. Eric

graduates high school, gets a job and enrolls in a technical school, earning a certificate in culinary arts.

In my opinion, just by graduating high school, Eric was just as successful, if not more successful than Tim. Another example, the same two individuals as children are in elementary school and Tim is rewarded because he had no disciplinary problems for a month, while Eric had five. But what was not recognized was that the previous month Eric had 10. In my opinion, it is Eric who deserves the reward, because given his background, he actually had to work harder to decrease his disciplinary problems than Tim did to have none.

In terms of public education, it can be the key to breaking cycles and empowering and graduating successful children. But it is going to take more than teaching English and math, and will require an effort that not only tends to children’s baggage but finds ways to reach each and every child and all their varying strengths, weak-

nesses and learning styles. This will cost more money than is being spent now.

But while devoting more money to tackling such issues will initially be costly, the pay off will be significant savings as we in fact spend less on housing inmates and supporting individuals through welfare who never had the tools to succeed in life. I should point out that not all people on welfare are lacking tools.

Some are simply caught in desperate situations. At the same time, many of them are products of generations trapped in cycles of abuse, neglect and other forms of dysfunction.

It must be quite a privilege to not relate to any of the above, and instead simply believe money is wasted and truly believe we all have access to the same opportunities in this country.

Unrecognized privilege is costly.

New column answers questions to life situations Dear Readers: This is the beginning of a regular column to answer questions about your life situations.

The majority of our clients come to us because they are “stuck”, not broken. They realize that they want something more, but are not sure how to begin the process of moving into the future on a positive and productive path. Life coaching is a very active process that focuses on the present and future, not the past - it is designed to offer creative and practical solutions that give power and focus to the client. We believe the answers to every challenge exist within a person's heart and mind; those answers only need to be revealed through a process of reflection and guidance.

In order to move forward, it is important to assess the current state of your own affairs and to pay attention to your foundational beliefs. Although you are eager to make changes and develop momentum, too much

change too soon can lead to feeling overwhelmed and chaotic. Generally, a few small tweaks in the “essentials” will make all the difference.

Maslow's research and writings are a great resource for looking at “the essentials”. In his Hierarchy of Needs theory, the bottom of the pyramid can be used as a place to start. Focusing on the air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sleep and sexuality of your life can be eye opening. When the foundation is “off”, you may not be able to get the results you desire.

Sometimes basic needs are confused with basic wants - this confusion can keep you stuck - clarifying want vs. need frees you to move forward and choose a course of action to make the life you want to live.

You, the client, are the expert on your life.

Life Coaching helps you discover what your own personal best might be.

Barney loves to snuggle and be held; however, based on the size of his paws we expect he will be quite the lap-full when he finishes growing! If you are looking for a puppy with plenty of personality, Barney is the fellow for you.

PLATTSBURGH — More than two weeks ago, Best Buy, faced with declining revenue, announced it would close 50 of its big-box stores in an attempt to restructure.

North Country residents held their breath, wondering if Plattsburgh would lose its largest consumer electronics retailer.

However, Champlain Centre's Best Buy is not on the list of stores the chain expects to close this year.

Best Buy, a specialty retailer of consumer electronics, accounts for 19 percent of the market and also operates in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada and China.

The company dates back to 1966, when Richard M. Schulze and business partner James Wheeler opened Sound of Music in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The company quickly grew and expanded, becoming a publicly-held company in 1969 and hitting the $1 million mark in annual revenues in 1970.

A tornado hit the Roseville, Minnesota store in June of 1981, and Sound of Music subsequently held a "Tornado Sale," which was promoted as a "Best Buy." It became an annual event, and in 1983 Sound of Music became Best Buy Co., Inc., opening its first superstore in Minnesota.

On March 9, 2009, Best Buy became the largest electronics retail store in the eastern United States after Circuit City went out of business.

Fry's Electronics is a major competitor in the western United States.

Today, the company is headquartered in Richfield, Minnesota and subsidiaries include Geek Squad, Magnolia Audio Video and Pacific Sales. In Canada, Best Buy also operates under the Future Shop label.

The company operates more than

1,500 stores domestically and internationally.

During the three-month period that ended Feb. 26, 2011, Best Buy saw its revenues and profits decline.

The electronics retailer recently posted a $1.7 billion quarterly loss and former CEO Brian Dunn announced a major restructuring, which included plans to shut 50 of its struggling big-box stores.

The company has seen its business model struggle against competition with rivals, such as Amazon.com and Apple.

Best Buy officials have said the closings are part of the company's plans to

focus on smaller Best Buy Mobile stores.

The retailer further pointed to weaker sales of televisions, video-game consoles and televisions and stronger sales of smart phones, e-readers and tablet computers.

The restructuring is expected to reduce costs by $800 million by fiscal 2015.

The only store on the list in the state is in New York City. Those on the list are expected to close by May 12.

Best Buy opened at Champlain Centre in 2006.

Dunn, who had been at the company 28 years, recently resigned.

School cuts send parents elsewhere stephen@denpubs.com

Maggie Homer and Eli Hinds attend the Vermont Commons School in Vermont.

“My hope is when they see people looking for alternatives this will put pressure on the system,” Sharoni said.

“I am now paying tuition the same as college and feel privileged to be able to make this decision.”

She noted that she has increased her work load and will start teaching online as well.

She is doing it for her daughter, who she said must graduate with skills and confidence.

So recently, a group of parents hosted a small gathering in a home on Cumberland Head and invited representatives from Vermont Commons School.

Vermont Commons School, founded in 1997, serves grades 7-12.

It has steadily grown since its inception and enrolls nearly 100 students.

Courses include language arts, math, science, social studies, foreign languages and advanced placement courses, including a calculus course that counts as college credits at the University of Vermont.

Vermont Commons School is on par with honors programs and has been recognized for its research and service program.

“Our students are very interested in service ad helping others,” said Sarah Soule, director of admissions and college counseling.

“I really like how small the classes are,” said Eli Hinds, an eighth grader who

P L AT T S B U R G H — A s public schools cut programs and positions, some parents are searching for alternative ways to educate their children.

A small group of North Country parents have found a new home for their children in a small private school in Vermont, where teachers and students are on a first-name basis and field trips reach around the globe.

It’s pricey, though financial aid is available at Vermont Commons School,.

Comprehensive fee is $18,900 for the 7th and 8th grades for 2012-13 and $21,995 for grades 9-12.

“I already paid my registration,” said Dr. Simona Sharoni, director of Gender and Women’s Studies at Plattsburgh State.

Sharoni’s daughter will soon attend the independent college preparatory school in South Burlington.

Sharoni resides in the Beekmantown Central School District and said when she saw the latest round of cuts she decided she wasn’t waiting another year to make a change in her daughter ’s education. She felt there was no end to the public-education crisis and that she had no voice.

Sharoni, a by-product of public schools who grew up in a working-class neighborhood also felt guilty, at least until she stepped back to view the broader context.

attended the recent meeting in Plattsburgh. “I learn a lot.”

Head of School Peter Gilmore said its not only a college preparatory school but a center for different types of learning. Students gain a deep sense of self, find the things they like and pursue them.

“We have very high standards in the classroom and the kids really need to respect each other,” Gilmore said. “This school is small and intimate, but it is really powerful.”

The school is not big on bubble testing and prefers to define its own curriculum, Gilmore said.

Mary Hamilton-Homer, who is now sending her third child to Vermont Commons School, has seen her children go from self-centered teens to kids who understand the value of participating in the world.

Maggie Homer didn’t want to attend the school initially, but after one visit she was hooked.

She has attended the Sundance Film Festival through the school and visited art museums around the world.

“We weave it all together and move through the years in a way that is very exciting,” Gilmore said.

and summer becomes fall. This is especially true of yards that are heavily used, be it by kids playing outdoors or families who love to host warm weather gatherings in the yard. Aerating in the spring removes plugs of sod from the soil, loosening it up and making it easier for air and water to reach the roots.

• Address those ugly bald spots. Bare spots in a yard can result from any number of things, be it a dog urinating in the yard or even disease. Early spring, when temperatures are a little cooler and promote grass growth, is a great time to address the yard’s bald spots. Do so by clearing away the spots and sprinkling the freshly exposed soil with some grass seed. Then add some fertilizer and be sure the newly seeded areas get some water until the new, healthy grass begins to grow in.

Restoring a yard after a long winter is a springtime rite of passage for many homeowners. Harsh winds and heavy snow can take their toll on even the most beautiful landscape.

Spring is a homeowner’s first chance to survey the damage and begin restoring the yard to where it was before all those strong winds and snowstorms. To get started on your yard this spring, consider the following tips.

• Don’t begin too early. The early bird might get the worm, but the early homeowner might get a damaged lawn. If temperatures for an upcoming free weekend are unseasonably warm, it’s best to avoid doing spring yard cleanup until there have been several warm weekends to thaw the ground. Unless the ground has completely thawed, footsteps on the yard will damage the grass, compacting the soil and preventing the air and moisture that soil needs from doing its job and penetrating the soil. What’s more, if the yard is raked before the ground has thawed, the rake might just be pulling the grass out by its roots.

• Survey the property. A close survey of the property will give homeowners an idea of just how big or small their restoration project will be.

A thorough survey will reveal any problem areas and may also reveal some unexpected guests.

Rabbits and squirrels often nest in yards during the winter. Rabbits will nest in the ground, while squirrels typically build nests made of leaves in the trees. Unless it’s entirely necessary, avoid removing any nests, and be sure to carefully inspect the yard before the season’s first mow.

• Out with the old. When the cleanup process is ready to begin, it’s time to remove remnants from last season. This includes removing any

dead plants as well as last year’s mulch. If new mulch is simply thrown on top of old, plants coulds uffocate.

Dead leaves also tend to gather during the winter, often up against fences or a home’s exterior walls. Rake up these dead leaves and add them to the season’s compost.

• Get rid of thatch. Thatch can be soil’s worst enemy, preventing its access to the sunlight, air and moisture it needs to make the lawn look beautiful and healthy. Thatch removal can be tiresome, but visit the local hardware store and pick up a dethatching rake to make the job a little easier. Thatch removal isn’t always necessary every spring. Many homeowners have found removing thatch every other year is effectivee nough.

• Aerate the yard to revive the soil. Soil often becomes compacted as spring becomes summer

Probation for sex crime

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com MOOERS — A Mooers man accused of sexually assaulting a woman received probation and a fine in Plattsburgh City Court.

The incident, which started out as felony rape and ended up as forcible touching, occurred in CVPH Medical Center's Adult Mental Health Unit in April 2011.

Michael B. Garrand, 54, of Mooers, was sentenced to six years of probation and ordered to pay $750 in fines and fees.

An order of protection was also issued on behalf of the victim.

Police received a complaint on May 18,

Spring Blossoms

2011 from the parents of a 34-year-old woman. They said their daughter had been raped on April 24, 2011, while a patient at CVPH's locked mental health unit.

An investigation led to the arrest of Garrand, who was not an employee of the hospital, though it is unclear if he was a patient.

Garrand was charged with second-degree rape, a felony, and released on his own recognizance, due back in court this past January.

In January, Garrand plead guilty to forcible touching, a misdemeanor.

He was recently sentenced to six years probation and ordered to pay $750 in fines and fees.

Spring blossoms are popping up all over the North Country.

Pinwheels spin for children’s futures Group seeks to prevent child abuse

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — In front of the Clinton County Government center, a garden of purple pinwheels spun under the afternoon sun.

People passing by occasionally stopped to watch the pinwheels, each one an uplifting symbol of the bright future all children deserve.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Pinwheels for Prevention, the signature campaign of Prevent Child Abuse America, is part of a growing movement to stop child abuse before it starts.

“The goal is to bring awareness to the community,” said Esther Piper, program manager for Early Advantages, a home visiting program of Behavioral Health Services North, Inc. “Child abuse and neglect is the most preventable type of injury a child can have.”

Pinwheels for Prevention is being coordinated by BHSN, the Child Advocacy Center and the Childcare Coordinating Council.

In 2009, roughly 3.3 million child abuse reports and allegations were made involving an estimated 6 million children, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

More than five children die daily as a result of child abuse.

The estimated annual cost of child abuse and neglect in the United States for 2008 was $124 billion.

Children who experience child abuse and neglect are 59 percent more likely to be arrested as a juvenile, 28 percent more likely to be arrested as an adult, and 30 percent more likely to commit violent crime.

“Children from Oak Street School panted pinwheels in honor of the 113 children abused in Clinton County last year,” Piper said.

The pinwheel represents Child Abuse America’s efforts to change the way the nation thinks about prevention, focusing on community activities and public policies that prioritize prevention from the state to head off child abuse and neglect before they occur.

Nearly 900,000 pinwheels have been displayed since April 2008.

Prevent Child Abuse America, founded in 1972, is the nation’s leading organization working solely to prevent child abuse and neglect. The organization, through chapters in 47 states and voluntary home visitation services, helps provide healthy, stable and nurturing experiences for more than 100,000 families every year.

BHSN’s Early Advantages home visiting program is a family-strength-based prevention program targeted at breaking the cycle of child abuse and maltreatment by working with at-risk parents and their children.

There are two components to this program. One is to help families where abuse has already occurred and the other is to work with families before it happens. Services are voluntary, with no charge for home visitations. There does not have to be a history of abuse or neglect.

Direct Air from page 1 funding.

South Carolina-based Direct Air, a charter service with regularly scheduled flights to 17 cities, abruptly halted all flights on March 13, stranding thousands of passengers.

Two days later it filed for Chapter 11 protection as it sought to reorganize.

As the story unfolded, it became clear Direct Air had extensive financial troubles that included at least $10 million in missing funds from an escrow account. The company further owed $25 to $30 million to customers whose flights had been cancelled along with more than $9 million to various creditors.

In 2005, the Buffalo-based Nanula family and the New York City-based equity firm of Bruckman, Rosser, Sherrill and Co. purchased the Wilson Farms and Sugarcreek stores.

The program aims to provide people with support, such as by having a worker visit the house while someone is parenting a new baby. The program seeks to aid people with unplanned or unwanted pregnancies as well as single woman with few other sources of support.

“We are there for support and because they want us to be there,” Piper said.

“The interventions are working,” she said, noting that in families where there has been at least one reported instance of abuse or neglect, there has not been a secondary report after a home has accepted Early Advantages’ services.

Direct Air had a net operating income of $2,751,760 in the first half of 2011, yet a $9,908,789 net income loss for 2011.

Avondale Aviation 1 LLC acquired the airline in late September, and prior management stayed on through March 12, when they resigned or were locked out.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has been investigating the way in which Direct Air handled funds in the escrow account that was meant to protect customers. It has been alleged that Avondale Aviation officials knew of the missing escrow funds and were complicit in the continued depletion of those funds by prior management.

Recently, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Melvin Hoffman approved a request to convert the Direct Air bankruptcy from a Chapter 11 reorganization to a Chapter 7 liquidation, saying the company cannot be saved.

Profits from any assets that are sold would go to credi-

chase Wilson Farms, a change that was expected to result in the rebranding and franchising of the stores. Wilson Farms’ chain consists of 188 stores in New York state.

7-Eleven made the purchase to increase its presence in the Buffalo and Rochester markets. 7-Eleven, a giant in the convenience retailing industry, operates more than 40,500 locations worldwide.

The Peru and Plattsburgh Wilson Farms stores were nearing the end of their leases and experiencing disappointing sales.

The CDC’s review of studies of early childhood home visitation programs suggests that approximately 40 percent of abuse and neglect might be prevented and that the positive effects of prevention services grow larger and are more sustained the longer programs such as Early Advantages are offered to families.

“We give parents a lot of support and want them to be the best they can be,” Piper said.

“The community should be aware that these services are working, but we have limited resources. The more we know the need the easier it will be to get funding for the program.”

tors.

The ruling is also expected to help passengers recoup their money from cancelled flights.

Direct Air ’s attorneys had requested a delay on Hoffman's decision to try to either secure funding or deny the Chapter 7 request by the U.S. trustee appointed to oversee the original bankruptcy proceeding. Attorneys said Direct Air was trying to secure third-party funding to reorganize.

Hoffman said the company's goal of flying again by May 15 was unrealistic given its significant financial troubles.

Direct Air is under investigation, he noted, and would have to overcome several significant obstacles before flight operations could be restored.

The company is also no longer certified by the Department of Transportation to operate charter flights.

The Peru store is cut off by two other retail stores, with a Mobile on one side, just off the I-87, that features a Dunkin Donuts, Subway and convenience store, and a Stewart's on the other side that Glushko said seems to get the majority of business in town.

"The competition, I guess, just finally did them in."

Losing a business is sad, but it is understandable, given the economy, Glushko said.

"You can understand exactly what is going on with downsizing from corporations," he

said. "7-Eleven bought them and there is not much you can do about corporate decisions."

7-Eleven Director of Public Relations Margaret Chabris stressed that rather than wider closings, the corporation is on an accelerated growth plan.

“We expect to add at least 600 new stores this year in the U.S. and Canada through traditional development in markets where we have stores that are doing well, or through acquisitions, as we have recently done in Charlotte, N.C.”

Dozer day charity event Town with Bernie Bassett set at Airborne Speedway T P L AT T S B U R G H — Some of the North Country’s smallest citizens will be operating some of the region’s largest pieces of construction equipment at the fifth annual Dozer Day. Children of all ages can try their hands operating loaders, bull dozers, excavators and a crane under the closer supervision of equipment operators employed by local contractors. The brainchild of the Kiwanis Breakfast Club of Plattsburgh, Dozer Day raises money for various community groups throughout the North Country.

Dozer Day has become a

large event and last year we were able to donate $14,000 to local children’s organizations.

Past beneficiaries include Clinton County Child Advocacy Center, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Unit at CVPH, Families Helping Families, CV Family Center, JCEO Summer Camp Program, Journey into Reading, Mountain Lake PBS and the Ted K Center.

“Dozer Day is fast becoming a staple event in the North Country,” says one of the many organizers, Tonia Finnegan of the Kiwanis Club. “It comes at a time of year when people

are anxious to get out in the sun after a long cold winter and a wet spring.”

Graymont Materials and Nortrax are the presenting sponsors along with the Kiwanis Club.

Many other local companies and organizations combine their talented people and equipment to make this event a success.

The event will be held at Airborne Speedway on Saturday, June 2, 2012.

The event also includes a Pro’s and Joe’s backhoe contest with a “celebrity” operators division, won last year by Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor, Bernie Bassett.

he month of March has come and gone and what a month it was! We experienced a preview of what we hope spring and summer will be like with over the top temperatures!

The weather, like many things, has opposing views and perspectives. Those who earn their living from winter weather, or enjoy winter sports, may be disappointed with the mild season. The economic crisis that we have been navigating for the past couple years can also have opposing perspectives.

Few public service agencies have been left out of the current economic reality demanding reductions in spending that have led to cuts in staffing and, in many situations, reductions in service. Those who have not been directly impacted may need to adjust to change caused by the closure or reduction of an agency or service. Our local school districts have also been impacted and are facing a second year of flat funding, eroded resources and a tax/spending cap to deal with.

Impacts can only be measured by the in-

dividual need for any given service and/or if the workforce reduction has impacted your family. Many families in the Champlain Valley continue to experience career changes that were not planned or anticipated. Over the past couple years, many professional positions have been eliminated and, though it may be just a few here and there, collectively it is a measurable number.

The public sector provides a number of essential services that adds to the quality of life for all of us. There is a certain standard of service that, over time, we have come to expect. Unfortunately, that expectation may also need to be cut.

The Town of Plattsburgh will continue to remain diligent with a focus on maintaining our level of service to our municipality while looking for new resources to control costs.

We will continue to make short-term decisions with an eye on long-term results.

Hopefully the economic outlook will continue to improve.

Best wishes for a great April.
