PLATTSBURGH — There is no hierarchy at ROTA Gallery and Studios.

It’s voluntary, with no paid positions, funded by community support and growing.

And its evolution included a recent move to Margaret Street in Plattsburgh, as the cooperative continues to expand to better support the community it serves.

Store owner disputes Attorney General’s charges

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Carla Brotherton opened This and That in Plattsburgh 26 years ago.

It is a smoke shop and a legitimate business, she said, standing behind the counter as customers walked through the store.

Yet the New York State Attorney General’s office filed lawsuits against it, and the neighboring ice cream parlor she owns called 20 Below. The lawsuit claims the businesses violated the state’s labeling laws by selling designer drugs.

“It is ridiculous,” Brotherton said.

She doesn’t know what the lawsuit will do to her business, called some of the allegations against her

Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman filed 12 lawsuits across the state against 16 businesses, which he referred to as “head shops,” for violating the state’s labeling laws by selling designer drugs, including commonly known synthetics such as bath salts and synthetic marijuana.

He said an undercover investigation revealed employees of This and That and 20 Below were selling the synthetic drugs.

“The proliferation of illegal synthetic drugs has become a national crisis,” Schneiderman said. “We dis CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Clinton Community College gets new logo and tagline

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Start up here at Clinton Community College, nestled on Bluff Point, overlooking Lake Champlain with views of the Adirondack and Green mountains, said President John Jablonski.

Or, start up your college career at Clinton Community College, part of the State University of New York system, with an array of opportunities that range from workforce training to degree programs.

Either way, the tagline “Start Up Here” is part of CCC’s new look brand strategy recently unveiled at the school.

“Over the past couple of years, the college has been hard at work on its new strategic plan, including mission, vision and values,” Jablonski said. “With that done, it’s time for us to present ourselves in a way that reflects our pride.”

CCC began its re-branding effort last December with the selection of a consultant, eventually choosing Stamats of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a national leader specializing in re-branding efforts for higher education.

“Stamats works exclusively with colleges and universities, and they brought a fresh set of eyes when they landed on campus,” said Steven Fredericks.

Stamats visited CCC multiple times and conducted

dozens of interviews and focus groups with students, faculty and staff and offcampus stakeholders.

The company walked away impressed by CCC’s commitment to the local community, the resilience and strength of students, dedication of faculty and staff, and the setting on Bluff Point overlooking Lake Champlain.

“Although the college’s location may seem superficial, students, faculty and staff clearly draw inspiration from the history and the views,” said Stamats Principal Consultant Beatrice Szalas. “The commitment, resilience, and dedication of the people of Clinton Community College blend with

the location to create a campus where great things can begin.”

The new tagline, “Start Up Here,” reflects those elements.

“Start Up Here on the Bluff,” “Start Up Here in the North Country,” “Start Up your education,” and “Start Up your life,” are all ways the tagline can be used.

The tagline blends student aspirations for upward mobility with the “distinctive, elevated campus, and also echoes the economic development role the college plays in the community,” said Stamats Senior Writer Joan Benson.

“It’s a tagline that works well for the college,” Jablonski said. “It can be used in so

many ways to showcase all the great things happening ‘Up Here’ at Clinton.”

With the new logo, the college’s primary building is center stage between fluid waves and the angular mountains. The graphic rests on the college’s name.

Jablonski pointed out that the cost of the brand and marketing strategy was born by the “Moore Innovation Fund,” a private endowment

managed by the Clinton Community College Foundation. No taxpayer or student monies were used for the six-month, $30,000 contract that resulted in the new logo, tagline, brand book, web site design template and numerous templates for print and electronic media.

“We know the budget is tight and taxpayers are struggling to support what we do here as an institu-

tion,” Jablonski said.

But Jablonski also said it was important to complete the project, which became a reality thanks to the “Moore Innovation Fund.”

CCC has a new look and feel but it continues to be committed to student access and success, Jablonski said.

“This reflects the bold spirit of Clinton and the bright future our graduates can expect,” Jablonski said.

Suspect robs Walgreens of drugs stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — He casually approached the pharmacy counter in the back corner of the store and passed a note to the pharmacist, saying he had a knife and demanding drugs.

As soon as he exited Walgreens Drugstore Tuesday afternoon with at least $30,000 of Oxycodone he ran through the parking lot and toward the tree line behind Burger King, according to Plattsburgh City Police Chief Desmond Racicot.

This is the second time recently that a suspect has claimed to have a weapon and robbed a local establishment, spurring a manhunt. Like before, this suspect is considered armed and dangerous.

The robber is a white man in his late 20s to early 30s, approximately 6 feet tall, with a thin build and goatee. He was wearing a light colored hoodie and a black hat.

Anyone with information should contact the Plattsburgh City Police at 563-3411.

There were seven store employees and a handful of customers in the store located at 301 Cornelia St., in the City of Plattsburgh, when the suspect walked up to

the counter demanding drugs and claiming he had a knife, though he never revealed a weapon.

The pharmacist complied, and the robber left the store with Oxycodone, a highly addictive synthetic opioid that is prescribed to relieve moderate to severe pain.

It wasn’t known whether he escaped by foot or by vehicle.

There were no injuries.

City Police, along with New York State Police, Clinton County Sherriff ’s deputies, University Police, U.S. Border Patrol and Homeland Security immediately conducted a ground search with the assistance of K9 units and helicopters.

Surveillance video from the drug store and as information from witnesses provided a description of the suspect.

The area was the scene of another manhunt a little more than a week ago when Oneill Stephenson allegedly robbed NBT Bank on Route 3 in the Town of Plattsburgh on July 2, getting away with an undisclosed amount of money. Stephenson, who also goes by the alias Philippe Francois, remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous.

The heavyset black man has ties to Plattsburgh, New York City and Vermont.

She said construction started in May. Many community members and business donated materials and in-kind services, including a pavilion design by students at CVTEC

Sunrise Rotary Club collaborated with the City of Plattsburgh and the New York State Canal Corporation to locate the community amenity on Cumberland Bay, Lake Champlain.

The Sunrise Rotary Club shares the City and Canal Corporation’s vision for improving family friend-

ly lake access.

The Canal Corporation, which owns the Wilcox Dock property, allows the city to use it through a feewaived permit.

“The city is very fortunate and blessed,” Kasprzak said. “This project is one of the best I have been

associated with.”

Sunrise Rotary Club President Thom Gosrich said, “The club is pleased to add to the amenities at this waterfront park, which is easily accessible to city residents and serves visitors from other parts and outside of Clinton County.”

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh lost three eateries this month.

Mangia, Papa John’s and Quiznos restaurants, all on Route 3, have closed.

A pizza shop could replace one and another shut its doors in preparation for a new restaurant, but nothing official has been released yet.

Terry Meron owns the 386 Route 3 building that housed Papa John’s and Quiznos and has indicated a pizza shop could be the next tenant there.

He also owned Papa John’s, which employed eight full and parttime employees.

Synthetic drugs from page 1 covered that head shop employees were giving tutorials on how to use dangerous intoxicants.”

The undercover video investigation discovered some head shops were labeling the products with misleading names and marketing them as incense, butterfly attractant, glass cleaner, potpourris, sachets and dietary supplements. Some products had no label and most lacked comprehensive ingredient listings.

Federal and state laws and regulations require that all consumer commodities, at a minimum, be labeled to describe net contents, identity of the product, and the name and place of business of the product’s manufacturer, packer, and distributor.

Papa John’s opened in November 2005 and started to suffer when the economy went downhill. Specials offered by the national chain hurt the local operation, as well as the 10 percent of income taken off the top.

Plus, Plattsburgh offers an array of eating choices.

Quiznos was owned by Brian Kirkp a tr ic k, w ho a l s o o wn s a co u p l e more in Chittenden County in Vermont.

He e m p l o ye d t wo f u l l t i me a n d five part time workers.

The lawsuits further pursue retailers for illegal sales of nitrous oxide to the public, a specific violation of the State Public Health Law. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “Whip Its,” has been linked to several deaths by asphyxiation and other adverse health effects.

Schneiderman said a senior investigator from his office visited This and That and 20 Below and purchased a number of substances marketed as sachets or aroma under the names “Avalanche” and “Bizarro,” along with a device used for smoking the substances.

The agent also allegedly bought a case of nitrous oxide chargers along with the paraphernalia used to ingest the gas. The store clerk allegedly sold the investigator a “cracker” device used for breaking the seal on charg-

part-time individuals.

He decided to close the restaurant to make space for another eatery.

White, president of Albany-based White management, opened a Long John Silver ’s seafood restaurant on t h e p ro p e rt y i n 1 9 8 9 , re p l a ci n g i t with Mangia four years later.

The Italian restaurant also offered a catering service.

White’s other holdings include the Butcher Block in Plattsburgh, Mangia in Slingerlands, the Log Jam in L a k e G e o rg e , a n d Ce n t ra l S t e a k , Creo and Bountiful Bread in Albany.

ers of nitrous oxide, as well as a balloon to inhale the gas.

“This is all new to me,” said Brotherton.

She said she has never carried bath salts and never would. She also showed synthetic substances with no labeling purchased at a local Dollar Store.

She said she purchases the items she sells from a wholesaler and does not package them.

Her average customer is 30-80 and they are old enough to make choices in their lives, Brotherton said.

“My intent is never to harm,” she said. “When does it stop? Where does it stop?”

She has complied with Schneiderman’s office.

“Now I just wait and see.”

Investigators entered each store and captured the trans-

21500

actions and interactions with store personnel using undercover video.

The lawsuit seeks an immediate end to the sale of mislabeled drugs. It also seeks an accounting of all commodities sold or offered for sale, including the name of the product, the manufacturer and distributor, product description, retail price and number of units sold.

The Burgh Editorial

Many choices to get the word out

W

hile we highly regard the value of newspaper advertising, we’d like to see local businesses and not-for-profit organizations save money by using free marketing services and techniques as well.

In this day of guerilla marketing and purple cows, it’s easy to create cheap systems to spread the word of your special events, products, services, or bona-fide news items ... with handouts, email, Facebook, online newsletters, publicity stunts, business cards, websites, etc. Many of these help our bottom line, with varying rates of success.

We still believe in the strength of print newspaper advertising, and we’re convinced that newspaper websites with fresh content continue to build online readers.

While some daily newspapers throughout the country are cutting back or closing, local weeklies remain strong. Some are even growing.

So, before we head you in the direction of free listings, we’d like to remind you that Denton Publications is one of those strong weekly newspaper companies. We reach more homes by direct mail and newsstands with our free products than any other local newspaper.

During the first week in July, we delivered 37,500 papers in the northern zone (The Burgh, North Countryman and the Champlain Valley and Tri-Lakes editions of the Valley News) and 26,500 papers in the southern zone (Times of Ti, Adirondack Journal and News Enterprise).

And we’ve made a huge investment in our Denton websites and have fresh content every day, not just once a week.

Many times we’ve been the first media outlet to cover news through our websites. We broke the news, for example, when the Adirondack Park Agency voted 10-1 to approve the Adirondack Club and Resort in Tupper Lake earlier this year.

Enough about us.

The Saratoga & North Creek Railway is offering free website listings for businesses in towns along the railroad line between Saratoga Springs and North Creek.

The purpose is to create a web presence that tells train travelers, “Look at all the great things to do and places to shop, eat and stay in the Adirondacks!” These

shouts of joy, some internal but most loud enough to wake a sleeping baby or dog, are expected to be followed by ticket purchases on the railway to destinations north, toward North Creek.

Railway officials and business leaders are hoping that the ticket purchases will be followed by reservations at local motels, hotels, inns and B&Bs. Multi-day stays are needed to improve the economy.

How can you help? If you are a business owner, list your business with the Saratoga & North Creek Railway (www.sncrr.com) for free and show the world that there are plenty of things to do and see in the southern Adirondacks.

Not-for-profit organizations and businesses that want to distribute news to the public — events, employee promotions and general news items — can send our newspapers a press release. And that’s free.

For businesses, we are very picky. The release must be newsworthy. Not-forprofit organizations can get away with a lot more.

We’ve created an easy guide for submitting press releases to the Denton newspapers. It’s called the PR Toolkit, and it’s available on our websites (click media, then PR Toolkit).

With the purpose of empowering the public to become part of the newspaper process, we’re inviting all civic groups, clubs, community organizations and businesses to submit their press releases, event photos, and calendar items for inclusion in our weekly newspapers and websites.

And it’s free.

The PR Toolkit includes contact information for your newspaper’s editor.

This is another way Denton Publications is proving that “We’re more than a newspaper. We’re a community service.”

This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a board comprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst, Katherine Clark, Shaun Kittle, Keith Lobdell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn, and John Gereau.

Hoodies, shades and the death penalty C

hris Martin always wears pants, sunglasses and a hoodie, pulled tight around his face.

He’s not constantly on the ready to rob pharmacies, even though a local owner of such businesses doesn’t want customers in such garb in his stores, hoodies and shades suddenly absolute indications of criminality after two men involved in area robberies wore them.

Chris Martin suffers from Xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare autosomal recessive disorder that is defined by extreme sensitivity to sunlight. He is not an armed robber, though some might not want him in their store on account of he is different and does not fall into the safe, generalized stereotypes the majority has carved out for itself.

Perhaps hoodies are menacing.

I’m usually greeted with, “Hey Stephen,” “Hello Steve,” and “How are you Mr. Bartlett.” But when I wear my bulky, dark hemp jacket with the oversized hoodie, police stare suspiciously

from their cruisers as they creep past me. A buffer zone also appears around me as people passing me offer nervous smiles.

Strange behavior.

Actually, profiling at the expense of innocents to placate the many is disturbing behavior.

And it is contagious and spreads, with tragic results, sort of like the death penalty.

We teach society killing is wrong, yet we make an exception and in turn are shocked when groups and individuals in society make their own exceptions.

So it is with profiling, starting with the exception say, of a hoodie and shades, and then there are more exceptions until everyone with a penis is rounded up and stranded on the island of potential rapists.

More blacks are in prison, so round them all up. The NBT robber had tattoos, so bar anyone with tattoos from public establishments.

Serial killers are often white males. Maybe we could wrap chains around their houses and

Stephen Bartlett

From the Editor’s Desk only let them out to gather up the food dropped from helicopters while trigger-happy snipers watch from nearby rooftops.

I haven’t mentioned women or children yet, largely because we live in America, but in some countries they carry guns and are used as suicide bombers, and we are engaged in a war on terror.

Are we afraid of these people?

Or do we simply not like them, because they don’t fit our dictat-

ed norm or we simply have a grudge?

History books tell of Christians labeling non-followers as sinners and torturing and killing them. Hitler would have eliminated the Jews.

But then how do we select which master group that gets to pick and choose the undesirables?

The Hunger Games comes to mind. We could separate people into groups such as white men and women, Christians, etc…

The groups battle to the death and to the victor goes the spoils.

I don’t mean to single out the above groups, but it seems that more often than not the majority have no qualms with making decisions that benefit them at the expense of disenfranchised groups in the minority. Profiling being one of them, as I am fairly certain the groups being profiled wouldn’t stand by as their rights were violated if they belonged to the majority.

So let’s just make it easier for the majority and quit pretending

like this behavior is a myth.

Meanwhile, I am going to burn my hoodie, cover up the tattoos, bury my Che poster and T-shirt, tell gay family members they have to be on time out while at my house, warn my daughter not to mention she is part black around law enforcement, rip my Bob Marley sticker off my car, never again order a pink drink with an umbrella at the bar and drop my musicals in a bucket of acid.

Then, I’ll learn which fork is for salad, wear khakis and polos, tell everyone what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear, sing the National Anthem louder than anyone else, learn how to change my oil, and say things like, “Well, isn’t that marvelous,” and know when I go to bed at night I won’t have to worry about being deported, excommunicated, arrested and black listed.

Our life coaches, Style and Substance: advice on keeping score Dear Style & Substance: I had a recent realization that my wife keeps score on everything, from who worked the most hours to who took care of the kids the most. It seems like our relationship has become a mad game of winning versus losing.

When I said something about this to her, she blew up and accused me of not caring. I don’t see how this all matters and how I can ever be considered a winner in her mind. Please help.

P e o p l e k e e p a l l k i n d s o f “ s c o re s ” f ro m h o m e f ro n t chores to recognition in the work place to who gets loved the most of the siblings. Despite our best efforts, we can end up on the losing side. It matters because for a “score k e e p e r ” ; y o u r p a r t i c i p a t i o n o r l a c k t h e re o f i n d i c a t e s your level of commitment, trust and respect.

There are a couple of ways to approach this; by either playing the game or sitting the bench. With clear communication, you can experience both options.

In playing the game we mean to acknowledge that this is the way she measures what is fair and not fair on the home front. It means to her that you accepted the rules at the start of the marriage and now you are unwilling to follow them. If you play the game, it simply means that you are interpreting what is important to her, and out of love and respect, you are giving her what she needs. It doesn’t mean that you become a doormat but that you rearrange what might normally be your priorities. It may mean that you tend to some of the things that

make her feel loved and appreciated earlier in the day and this way boosting your “credit”.

By sitting the bench, we mean that you are choosing not to use a scoring system, but possibly communicating more clearly about what you can do better, and possibly what you can’t do better. It is kind of like saying, “I hear, u n d e r s t a n d a n d re s p e c t y o u , h o w e v e r, i t i s n o t w h a t works best for me”. This does not give you a pass, but it gives both of you the chance to talk about alternatives.

There still must be a sense of fairness in managing the daily operations of a busy household.

Ultimately, we are all seeking balance not ultimatums.

Congressman Bill Owens with farmers in Beekmantown.

NOTICES•

BEEKMANTOWN — Larry Gonyo’s grandfather, Willard, arrived in the United States in April 1916, shortly after purchasing property in Beekmantown.

His father, Lawrence, was 4 months old when Willard started the farm with three to four horses, three to four cows and a couple goats.

Gonyo was born on the farm, and never really left, eventually inheriting it. Today, Beekman Lane Farm consists of 89 milking cows, 17 dry and another 80, a small dairy farm compared to the average one with 300-400 head.

“My father passed away four years ago,” Gonyo said. “Our debt load was low and the whole family contributes to everything.”

He and his son Kevin, coowner of the farm, gathered with other farmers to listen to Congressman Bill Owens. They sat at picnic benches and plastic Adirondack chairs under the shade of a towering maple tree as Owens shared information about the farm bill.

The farm bill is an agricultural and food policy tool of the federal government that is passed every five years or so by Congress. It deals with agriculture and all other affairs under the purview of the U.S. Department of Agri-

culture.

Farm bills are often controversial and can impact international trade, environmental conservation, food safety and the wellbeing of rural communities.

Before Owens began, Gonyo explained that milk prices have dropped again, from $20 to the $16 range.

Yet equipment payments do not fluctuate and fuel and fertilizer costs are up.

“If you are able to save in good years, it goes toward that,” Gonyo said.

So far, he said, the farm has been fortunate. It has struggled months at a time, but they seem to get by.

“But it’s been worse this year.”

“I just wish they would use common sense,” said his son, Kevin. “Legislation doesn’t help.”

Owens felt the farm bill would be passed by early September. If it was not to pass in July, the current bill would remain in effect.

“The Senate passed a bill that has $23 billion in cuts,” Owens said. “At the end of the day, those numbers look more like $27 billion, with $8 billion or so going back into food stamps.”

The House Agriculture Committee approved a farm bill, but currently House Republicans are split over spending cuts.

The bill would cut spending in farm and nutrition programs by $35 billion over 10 years, similar to the one passed by the Senate.

Hi I’m Digger Mole

Did you know that our mineral called “Wallastonite” is shipped all around the world?

Make it yourself!!!!

Want some really great beads to use in friendship bracelets, necklaces or even earrings. Make them! All you need is a few pages from magazines that are going to be recycled.

Gather your supplies: Shiny Paper like from magazines, catalogs, junk mail, etc.

White paper or cardboard from a cereal box Ruler Pencil Glue Stick Round Toothpick or Wooden Skewer Scissors Making your pattern: You are going to make a 1 inch wide 6 inch high triangle. Using the white paper/cardboard draw a line 1 inch wide. Make a mark at the half inch spot. Now measure 6 inches straight up from the half inch spot and make another mark. Draw a line from that point to either side of your 1 inch line to form your triangle.

Use your white paper/cardboard pattern to trace on the BACK side of any colorful shiny magazine pages and cut them out.

With your glue stick cover the BACK of the paper triangle. DO NOT put glue on the last half inch at the wide end of the triangle.

Place the tooth pick/wooden skewer at the wide end (where there is no glue) and start rolling to the pointed end.

You may need a little more glue to secure the point.

Carefully slide your bead off. Set is aside, when it is completely dry you can use it to make really cool jewelry.

Note: To make the beads more waterproof ask mom or dad to help you put a sealant on them. inspired by::familycrafts.about.com

BUG BITES, TICKS & BEE STINGS ... Oh My!!!

www.AMCCares.org for services and employment

Summer is finally here, so are the bugs! Here are some things you’ll want to know about bug bites, ticks and bee stings to help keep you safe and comfortable.

Some insects like spiders, bees and wasps attack us when they feel afraid or threatened, but mosquitoes, “no-seeums”and ticks bite because they need our blood to survive. Most insects “bite and run” but ticks are a parasite, that means they bite and hold on because they need the blood of the host to live. We all need to be aware of the presence of ticks, especially when we are walking in the woods, playing either in the tall grass or near rock walls. These are places ticks really like and if you pass by they crawl on looking for their next meal. Some of the ways you can protect yourself; 1. Wear long sleeved light colored clothing and tuck your pant legs into your socks.

2. Have mom or dad help you check your entire body every night for signs of ticks or a rash that looks like a bull’s eye. Call your doctor if you find either one.

Bug bites are really itchy but don’t usually make you ill. Remember the best thing to do is DON’T SCRATCH the bug bite could get infected. Try to avoid ponds and rivers especially at dusk, that’s a place bugs really like.

For most people a bee sting is like a bug bite that hurts a little more. If you get a bee sting make sure to tell an adult so they can help you get the stinger out and wash it with soap and water. Applying ice to the bump, 20 minutes off and on for up to 24 hours will help keep the swelling down. For some people, however a bee sting is a really dangerous thing. They have an allergy (say: -er-gee) to the venom that is on the stinger. This can cause swelling in their throat and make it really hard to breathe. They might need a shot to help them. That shot is often referred to as an “epiHOW TO SAFELY REMOVE A TICK: pen” because it contains epinephrine • Always let mom or dad know you found the (say: eh-pih-frin) and they keep it tick with them all the time.

ROTA from page 1 where more things can happen,” said Matt Hall, one of the co-founders of ROTA. ROTA opened on Clinton Street, a tough location with sporadic foot traffic.

In fact, when people stumbled across the nonprofit they were often surprised it existed on that street.

The new location is 50 Margaret St., which formerly housed My Cup of Tea. ROTA has been wanting to expand for some time and had scouted several locations, including 50 Margaret St., but it was too costly at the time. But membership has increased, as has community outreach, and suddenly a move to 50 Margaret St. became a reality.

“Our expenses have also increased because we are a lot larger,” Hall said.

The new location offers more studio space and a basement that works well for music venues. This is much more favorable than the previous location,

which forced gallery and music in the same space.

“That inhibited people, and it was messy to have all community functions and music shows in one room,” Hall said. “Plus, it has been hard to have a consistent space for kids to have music.”

The new space features an upstairs gallery with hardwood floors and large windows. It is also located near the Strand Theatre and North Country Cultural Center for the Arts.

ROTA is offering more classes, such as hooping, non-toxic print making, guitar lessons and parenting and wellness courses.

ROTA will feature a class and course each month, and community members are encouraged to come to the studio with their various skills and ideas.

“ROTA is made up of its members and what they bring to the table,” Hall said.

ROTA is offering practice space for bands and musicians and is in the early stages of opening a community dark room.

A new art exhibit is featured every two weeks, and

musical events are held weekly.

“We try to cater to all musical tastes,” Hall said.

“And all members are entitled to a two week exhibit.”

ROTA also continues to offer all ages shows, community events and open stage poetry night.

And as always, people are member owners and have a stake in the cooperative.

Hall said ROTA has received great support from the community and business owners.

“Right now we are just really focusing on continuing to expand and better serve the community,” he said. “We have had a lot of people come in with specific ideas, and if it is feasible we will work together to make it a reality. We are a platform for people in the community.”

Those interested in ROTA Gallery and Studios can also attend an open meeting every Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Learning Center a great place to start

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com ROUSES POINT — Halfway down the hall to the left, past large classrooms filled with toys and educational tools, a woman rocked a baby slow and quiet, the lights dim, the shades nearly pulled tight.

Another woman walked silently around rows of cribs, looking in on sleeping babies.

Outside, older children laughed on the playground under the watchful eyes of their teachers.

“We really are like a family here,” said Becky Filion, director of the Champlain Children’s Learning Center, located on Clinton Street in Rouses Point.

The nonprofit school and childcare center is expanding, particularly its universal pre-kindergarten program, something Filion said is currently needed in the area. “We can take on the UPK children who have been displaced by St. Mary’s.”

St. Mary’s Academy in Champlain will not open this fall due to financial dif-

ficulties.

Champlain Children’s Learning Center opened in 1998 when a group of business men and women received a start-up grant in their search for quality child care for their employees.

Its universal pre-k program opened in 2001.

The school and childcare center opened its first day with nine children and today is licensed for 116.

Champlain Children’s Learning Center serves children aged six weeks to 12.

The universal pre-k program is run by a New York State certified teacher.

“This place filled up quickly and expanded because there was a need in the area,” Filion said.

Champlain Children’s Learning Center enjoys longevity with staff and offers a developmentally appropriate education.

“It’s like an extended family here,” Filion said.

Children receive a good mix of structure and free play.

Universal pre-k coincides with school and kindergarten readiness.

“We work very closely with kindergarten classrooms to ensure we are doing what they want,” Filion said.

Champlain Children’s Learning Center is in the process of expanding its universal pre-k program.

Children in the Northeastern District are eligible for the program if they turn four by Dec. 1.

The center provides care for older school-aged children after school and on days of no school. They are only closed one week for Christmas and a week in August, as well as major holidays.

“We are closed very little,” Filion said.

Many families who send their children there work with Homeland Security, INS and Customs.

Filion earned a degree in elementary education and planned to use the Champlain Children’s Learning Center as a stepping stone.

She went from teacher to director and fell in love with the place, never looking back.
