By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The only winery in the town of Plattsburgh has now suffered a major setback after a devastating fire.

Elfs Farm W inery and Cider Mill became fully engulfed with flames shortly before 10 p.m. July 30, with crews responding from sev-

eral local departments.

Kevin Frey — who owns the business with his br other, Sean, and father , T om — said he was on his way home fr om a wedding last Saturday night when he was traveling toward the winery on State Route 9.

“I hit a r oad block and was told the winery was on fire,” Frey recalled.

Officials let Frey through

to the scene where he saw flames shooting throughout the building, decimating its second floor.

“There was smoke pour ing everywhere,” Frey said, recalling how he approached the scene as crews from the Beekmantown, Chazy, City of Plattsbur gh, Cumberland Head and District No. 3 fire departments fought the fire.

The loss of everything Frey and his family have worked for over the past seven years was heartwrenching, he said.

“Unfortunately, we lost everything,” Frey said of the building and its contents, which included plastic and stainless-steel storage tanks which held several thousand CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

BUFFALO — First Niagara Bank, N.A., a subsidiary of First Niagara Financial Group, Inc., signed an agreement July 30 to acquire 195 HSBC Bank branches in upstate New York and Connecticut, including several in the North Country.

Branches targeted for sale include those in Saranac Lake, Plattsbur gh, Malone, Potsdam and Massena.

The fate of these branches is unclear at this time, according to First Niagara officials, who expect to divest certain branches in selected locations that ar e outside the company’s strategic focus, pending the outcome of the customary antitr ust review.

The deal included the bank properties plus $15 billion of deposits from HSBC Bank USA, N.A. “We ar e very pleased to

Crete Memorial Civic Center will be going to the dogs this Sunday

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Clinton County Canine Club will be taking over the Crete Memorial Civic Center this weekend.

The nonpr ofit or ganization — which, according to its mission statement is "dedicated to helping the general public train their dogs to be good canine citizens” — will host its annu-

al Br eed and Obedience Dog Fun Match this Sunday , Aug. 7. It’s an event t he c lub’s o utreach c ommittee chair, Lori Mof fa, is looking forwar d to, she said.

“A Fun Match is a place wher e owners get a chance to work and compare their dogs to standards of breeds and performance set up by the American Kennel Club,” explained Mof fa.

“Dogs and their handlers can participate in Breed, all levels of Obedience,

and Rally ... The handlers can see what areas the dog was successful at and what areas will need more training.” “[The Fun Match] is a large part of our educational program,” she added.

“It helps us make the public aware of the many purposes of a dog and wher e information and training can be obtained for them to reach their goals.”

This year, Moffa said, the club will have an agility demonstration and certification by Canine Good Citizen

and Therapy Dog International will also be offered.

“Visitors can see different breeds of dogs in action,” Moffa said. “They can find out about the characteristics of the br eeds being shown and determine if a particular breed might be a good fit for their lifestyle.”

Regardless if you’re a dog owner or just a dog lover , the event is something everyone can enjoy, Moffa said.

“Everyone with an interest in dogs

is welcome to participate, including owners and pr ospective owners, as well as pur e br eed and mix br eed dogs,” she said.

This Sunday’s event will begin with registration at 9:30 a.m. and judging to follow at 10 a.m.

Registration f orms a nd d irections are available on the Clinton County Canine Club website, www.clintoncanine.org. For mor e information, call 846-8839.

municipalities with the largest population (limited to one municipal r epresentative per county).

Locally, the following of ficials will represent Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties: Don Kasprzak, mayor of the city of Plattsburgh; James Langley Jr., chairman of the Clinton County Legislature; Randy Douglas, chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors; Guy “Tim” Smith, chairman of the Franklin County Legislatur e; and Bill Farber, chairman of the Hamilton County Board of Supervisors.

“The governor is absolutely right,” Farber said after the announcement. “The historic operational mode of Empire State Development has been to treat every ar ea of the state alike.

The old Empir e Zones tr eated everybody like they were a depressed city ar ea. I think this opportunity to look at the ar eas of the state differently is a benefit, and Hamilton County is packaged in with similar areas in terms of the r ural natur e; parts of Essex County when

you get away from Lake Placid, parts of southern Franklin County and St. Lawr ence County where we are today … the plan is going to have to address rural areas like Hamilton County.”

The r egional councils wer e designed to shift the state’s economic development approach towar d a communitybased model, rather than a topdown development model.

With this setup, state leaders are attempting to capitalize on each r egion’s “unique assets” while e mpowering t he r egion to set its own plans and priorities. The state will support each council’s efforts.

To help pay for the program, $1 billion from the state’s new Consolidated Funding Application is available for the councils’ projects. Each council will be competing for part of the $1 billion for pr ojects in their r egion.

The councils will begin meeting in September, and project proposals are expected to be drafted by the end of the year.

en the overwhelming amount of support the business had from the community for their participation in that event, Fre y said it only fuels his desire to get the business up and running again as soon as possible.

“We've seen Plattsbur gh r eally does want a winery,” Fr ey said. “The support we’ve gotten from everyone in the community has been gre at, even before the fire. We will do our best to rise from the ashes, so to speak.”

“We’re just very thankful no one was harmed,” he added.

Though the grapes wer e saved thanks to the careful work of fir efighters who fought the blaze, said Frey, Elfs Farm will likely be unable to process their harvest when it is er ady this fall.

However, other local vineyar ds have offered to help when the time comes.

“We’ll be back,” said Fr ey. “I’m too stubborn to give up.”

From page 1 “It’s all down the drain, basically,” he added.

One silver lining Frey could find in the situation was that his family’s vines were unharmed.

The fire also spared a nearby hoop house which houses grapes that are part of a U.S. Department of Agriculture study.

“So, that's good news,” he said.

The cause of the fire has yet to be determined and was still under investigation as of Tuesday.

“We think it possibly started somewher e in the center wher e the stor e was. It could have even started upstairs and worked its way down,” he said. “We’re waiting to find out.”

Regardless, Frey said he and his family ar e determined to rebuild. Elfs Farm was to be part of the 201 1 Summer W ine Tour being hosted by Lake Champlain Wines next weekend. And, giv-

Publisher’s Viewpoint

The Burgh Editorial

Don’t ignore the Adirondacks

N

ow that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has set up 10 regional economic development councils around New York, we hope members of these councils don’t forget the little guys in the sticks.

That’s us.

For the most part, the Adirondack North Country region is filled with rural communities that r ely on tourism for the bulk of their private-industry jobs. And since New York failed to set up an Adirondack Regional Economic Development Council to represent the 135,000 or so people who live in the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park, we must trust the thr ee councils who r epresent the Park to act in our best interests.

Asked how the most sparsely populated county in the state — Hamilton County — can compete for economic development project money against cities like Plattsburgh and Watertown in the North Country Regional Economic Development Council, co-chair Garry Douglas — executive dir ector of the Plattsbur gh-North Country Chamber of Commer ce — said, “When it comes to job creation, when it comes to economic development, ther e is no such thing as a county; there is an economic region.”

Those ar e gr eat talking points, and we know Garry is a staunch advocate for rural communities thr oughout the North Country r egion. But how does the governor explain to a small business owner in the town of Arietta — population 304 — how economic development pr ojects in the city of Watertown — population 27,000 — help his community more than 100 miles away?

The solution would be to pr opose economic development pr ojects closer to the town of Arietta, possibly in the town’s hamlet of Piseco. But that’s easier said than done.

While Hamilton County has a lone representative on the council — Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber — the urban areas of the r egion have many. After all, the chief executive or supervisor of the thr ee municipalities with the lar gest population in each region were automatically named to the councils. For the North Country region, they are the cities of Watertown and Plattsburgh and the town of Potsdam. For the Capital Region, they are the cities ofAlbany, Schenectady and Troy. How does Elizabethtown compete? How about North Cr eek, Warrensburg, Ticonderoga, Tupper Lake or

Lyon Mountain?

Not only will the 10 r egions of the state be competing with each other for part of $1 billion in economic development pr ojects, it’s safe to say that the communities and counties within each region will be competing to place their str ongest pr ojects at the top of the regional council list.

The North Country Regional Economi c Development Council r epresents Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, St. Lawr ence, Jefferson and Lewis counties. All but Jefferson ar e located wholly or partially inside the Adirondack Park’s boundary . The r emaining Adirondack counties are represented by other councils: Warren, Saratoga and Washington are in the Capital Region council; and Fulton, Herkimer and Oneida are in the Mohawk Valley council.

Will Adirondack small towns be forg otten when it comes time to decide whether to approve an economic development pr oject creating five jobs in Hamilton County versus a project creating 50 or 100 jobs in Plattsburgh? We hope not.

A five-job bump in the Adirondack Park is huge to the local economy in a place like Chestertown, but it has little impact in a city like Schenectady. The people who live here understand that, but we’r e skeptical that the number -crunchers in Albany will give more w eight t o u rban p rojects s imply b ecause they make the Cuomo administration look good. More jobs created = more votes.

Maybe we’r e being too cynical. Maybe we’re jumping the gun and not giving Albany enough cr edit. Or maybe we’r e just used to seeing politics get in the way of great ideas.

Creating the regional economic development councils was a brilliant idea. For that, we applaud the governor’s leadership. Sadly, we are disappointed that he failed to see the Adirondack Park — the size of the state of Vermont — as its own economic development region. For that, we think Gov. Cuomo missed a great opportunity, and we hope we don’t pay for his mistake.

of these plants, especially if they wer e not planted this year, will survive. To see if the plants ar e living, look for green succulent tissue beneath the bark. You can also check for the presence of bud set for next spring. These two factors may indicate the plant will survive.

During a dr ought, do not fertilize your trees and shrubs.

Fertilizers contain salts that can further damage the r oot system of str essed out plants.

Instead, prioritize your watering. Established tr ees, like my bir ches, will generally survive long periods of drought without too much problem. Newer trees and shrubs will require regular deep root watering. As I have mentioned before, this can be accomplished with long, slow soaking from soaker hoses or normal hoses set on a slow drip.

The farmer’s almanac predicted a hot, wet summer this year . While it has been hot, it has not been wet. Hopefully when fall arrives we will see with it the return of more typical rainfall patterns. I know that our plants, and all of the gar deners who have spent countless hours watering this summer will be thankful!

Summertime family fitness fun

S

ummer is a time to be outdoors enjoying the beautiful weather and taking in everything that the season has to of fer.

Staying active doesn’t have to mean a specific exercise plan or going to the gym. Just head outside and see what you can get into. Ther e ar e many ways to incorporate outdoor activity into your family outings this summer.

Going to the playground doesn’t have to be just for the kids, have fun with them, play on the equipment, climb, swing, play and have fun. A playground can be a great gym with a little bit of cre ativity. Chances are, if your kids see you doing it, they will want to join, too.

Go for a hike, make it more interesting by looking for specific plant, bugs, or points of interest along the trail to get the kids engaged and inter ested while avoiding the “Can we turn ar ound now?” syndrome.

Go for a family bike ride, whether it be around the neighbor hood, on a bike path, or on the trails. Bike riding is a great form of exercise and fun for all. Just remember to be safe and to wear a helmet at all times. I know first-hand that you can get a great workout by teaching little ones to ride without training

Volunteering is rewarding

During the last seven weeks of the school year , I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Peru Primary School.

I worked with the childr en to help them impr ove their reading skills, and I trust that I made a difference. Working with the childr en in the second-grade classes was an absolute joy.

The Chazy Public Library is har d at work trying to raise Thanks to Scott Osborne, Kelly Cr owley, Mrs. Lalonde, funds for phase two of our plan to r efurbish Dr . Geor ge Mrs. Saywar d, Ms. Demo, Mrs. Cr owningshield and Mrs. Clark's office building.

The fundraising committee's idea is to encourage the com- Mullen for making it possible for me to have this gr eat exmunity to visit local businesses and donate spare change to perience. The Peru Primary School is a vibrant and safe environment for our children to learn from outstanding teachour library. ers.

We have placed jars in Chazy businesses with the hope If you want to have a heartwarming experience, I highly that patrons will shop locally and if they have pocket change recommend volunteering at a Primary School. I know that we are asking that they donate to our project.

The fundraising committee will collect the change and La- I'll be back at school in September.

Roy Perry bor Day will be the culmination of this endeavor. Here is the Peru list of businesses wher e you can dr op off your coins: Dog's

Help your plants survive a drought he heat wave has pushed its way out and our summer temperatures have r eturned to mor e normal ranges — warm days with cooler nights. It’s nice. I haven’t had to turn a fan for at least a week!

While the heat has moved on, the unusually dry conditions persist in our r egion. I don’t irrigate my lawn, so it is now a crisp br own. While, it doesn’t feel as nice under bare feet and definitely does not look as nice as a lush, gr een lawn, it should r ecover just fine once the rains return. The key to having a lawn survive dr ought is to either pr ovide the lawn with regular, long soakings with an irrigation system or to let the lawn go dormant. Fertilizer and irr egular (either infr equent or short) waters can stre ss the lawn out and kill it. In the meantime, I am spending what time I would have spent mowing to watering trees, shrubs and gardens.

Drought manifests itself differently in different plants. Sometimes, the foliage of a tre e or shrub will droop and appear wilted. White pines may turn brown. Other species exhibit leaf yellowing and defoliation. Cherry and birch are two species that exhibit this behavior. My birch are doing this now, making my lawn look like it is fall instead of summer.

Unfortunately, many homeowners mistake these symptoms, think their plants have died, and dig them up unnecessarily . Many

wheels. That has to be one of the highlights of my summer. Not only will you be getting a gr eat workout, the look of accomplishment and pride on your child’s face is priceless.

Go to the beach. Get in the water with your kids, play with them, be a kid again, enjoy the summer .

Play Frisbee or have races on the beach. Build sand castles, dig and carry buckets of water back and forth. You’ll still get your suntan while spending quality time with your kids, all while keeping the whole family active.

Go for an after-dinner walk. One of the things that I love about summer is that it stays light out later. Instead of calling it a night after dinner , go outside and go for a walk, or just go outside and play with the kids for an hour or so.

Regardless of your activity of choice, enjoy the summer months while they last because the cold short days will be back in no time. Be a kid again, be active, and have fun.

Summer Wine Tour returns for its second year Board OKs Businesses hope donation to draw more to farm attention to local grape growing museum

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com WEST CHAZY — The Lake Champlain W ines Summer Wine Tour is back for a second year.

The two-day event will r eturn Saturday, Aug. 13, and Sunday, Aug. 14, with winetasting stops acr oss the North Country.

Nancy Vesco of Vesco Ridge Vineyards, Chazy, said the event will once again highlight local grape growers and winemakers, showcasing a variety of wines.

“Last year, we printed 300 tickets and ended up selling out,” said V esco, whose business will be among the stops on the tour. “This year , we’ve almost doubled the amount of tickets we’ll have available.”

This year ’s tour will feature four local vineyar ds and one local orchard, said Vesco. Originally, there was to be five local vineyards, but a fire last weekend at Elfs Farm W inery and Cider M ill i n P lattsburgh d estroyed the business and its inventory, making its owners unable to participate.

“It’s very sad we won’t have them on the tour now ,” said Vesco.

The tour will press on, however, with people like Richard

Vesco Ridge Vineyards and Amazing Grace Vineyard and Winery, both of Chazy, will be among the stops on this year’s Lake Champlain Wines Summer Wine Tour.

Lamoy, owner of Hid-In-Pines Vineyard in Morrisonville, looking forwar d to the event.

This will be Lamoy’s first year selling wines from his now licensed vineyard.

“I have seen a great interest from these tourists to the r egion in wine and grape gr owing in general,” Lamoy said of those he’s encountered at local farmer ’s m arkets. “ They l ove

the idea that they now have another activity for their trips to the region.

“A lot of people have expressed a keen inter est [in the wine tour] and that inter est is growing as the weekend approaches,” he added.

Everett Or chards in Per u will also be among stops on the tour, with that business emphasizing how it was to of fer

hard cider in the ar ea. Owner Debbie Everett said she’s excited to join the wineries on the tour to teach people mor e about hard cider.

“The dif ference between hard cider and wine is the alcohol content,” said Ever ett.

“Hard cider is 7 per cent alcohol or less, but the pr ocess to make it is the same as wine ...

Anyone who has gone on a wine tour in other parts of the country and Canada know how much fun and delicious it is.”

Having tours like this helps the local economy by gr owing the local agritourism industry, said Everett.

“This is a wonderful way to let people know about each winery [and] cidery, show how we ar e gr owing, and pr omote future gr owth of this industry,” said Everett.

The tour will be held both days fr om noon to 6 p.m. and include the following locations with the following contact numbers: Amazing Grace Vineyard and W inery, 9839 State Route 9, Chazy, 215-4044; Everett Orchard, 1945 Military Turnpike, Plattsbur gh, 5632438; Hid-In-Pines V ineyard, 456 Soper St., Morrisonville, 643-0006; Stone House V ineyard, 73 Blair Road, Mooers, 493-5971; and V esco Ridge Vineyards, 165 Stratton Hill Road, West Chazy, 846-8544.

The cost of the tour is $12 per person, with tickets available in advance at each location.

The cost includes tastings and a Lake Champlain Wines commemorative wine glass. Designated drivers are encouraged.

Councilmember Susan Polhemus asked whether the donation would cr eate an unwanted precedent under which other non-pr ofits would expect money fr om Peru.
