jonh@denpubs.com PERU — The race for Peru town council is beginning, with Geoffrey Spear running under the Republican ticket, and incumbents Brandy McDonald and Kr egg Br uno running under the Democratic one, among others.

Spear was nominated at the Peru Republican caucus on July 14. Around 20 people attended, Spear said.

“My desir e to r un stems from my interest in keeping Peru a highly r espected community in which to raise kids,” Spear said.

Spear said he would like to attract small businesses to the area.

“Money is tight; it would be nice to somehow increase the tax base,” Spear said.

“We have some r oom to grow.”

Spear said his work at the Plattsburgh State athletic department has given him a good understanding of budgets. Additionally, he’s levelheaded, Spear said.

PLATTSBURGH — A city man has been arr ested and arraigned on char ges of second-degree murder and firstdegree robbery.

Dustin C. Hill, 21, PlattsJason Larabie burgh, was taken into custody by the Plattsburgh Police Department Aug. 7 only hours after the body of 32-year-old Jason Larabie, Plattsburgh, was found next to a parked vehicle near a public boat launch shortly before 6 a.m.

According to a pr ess release from the department, of ficers responded to a 9-1-1 call of an unresponsive male at the boat launch of f Cumberland Avenue at appr oximately 5:44 a.m.

The report states Hill allegedly met Larabie in the area of the foot bridge which crosses the mouth of the Saranac River. The two then walked over to the victim’s vehicle where it is alleged Hill struck Larabie before robbing him. “[Larabie] was mur dered and then r obbed,” said Police Chief Desmond Racicot. “The defendant had his arm ar ound [Larabie’s] neck and choked him until he was dead.”

Hill allegedly stole money fr om Larabie’s wallet and then threw the wallet and its contents into the Saranac River before he fled on foot.

On Monday afternoon, Racicot said other details of the incident are not being released as the investigation is ongoing.

“We’re not commenting on what the motive might have been,” Racicot said. “The investigation is continuing and we have the person responsible in custody.”

District Attorney Andrew J. Wylie said Hill was arraigned in Plattsburgh City Court late last Sunday night before acting justice Mark Rogers. The case was adjourned until Aug. 10.

“It’s my understanding Judge Rogers appointed Bill Meconi as assigned counsel,” said Wylie in an interview Monday afternoon. “[Hill] was remanded to jail without bail.”

Wylie said an autopsy of Larabie was performed by Dr. Michael Sikirica, a chief medical examiner from Rensselaer County. The preliminary results showed Larabie’s death was caused by asphyxiation due to strangulation.

Zumbathon, 5k event to help Alzheimer’s Disease Assistance Center Events to bring awareness to life-threatening disease

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Alzheimer ’s Disease Assistance Center hosts its “Walk to Remember” each year, remembering those lost to and suffering from Alzheimer ’s disease. And, this year, two events are kicking off the event.

The S enior Ci tizens C ouncil o f Clinton County Senior Center , 5139 N. Catherine St., will be the site of the first upcoming event — a Zumbathon hosted by instructor Ashley Cousens this Satur day, Aug. 13, from 12 to 2 p.m.

Cousens, who r outinely hosts Zumba events for local charities, said she’s looking forwar d to this Saturday’s Zumbathon, given the cause.

“My gr eat-grandmother, who I knew fairly well, had Alzheimer ’s,” said Cousens.

“That’s why I agreed to do a Zumbathon for the Alzheimer ’s Dis-

ease Assistance Center. Because I knew what it was like to see someone go through it.”

The proceeds from the Zumbathon — which will cost $10 to r egister for — will benefit the center financially. However, the event is something Cousens said will benefit those wanting to keep their minds in shape as much as their bodies, all at the same time.

“The neat connection between all of this is how Zumba helps you keep your brain active, remembering all the steps. It’s just one way we can help keep our memory going and help war d of f Alzheimer ’s,” said Cousens.

The second event to benefit the Alzheimer ’s Disease Assistance Center is “Run to Remember,” a 5k fun run and walk in memory of the late Doug Hoffman of Mooers Forks. That event will be held Saturday, Aug. 20, at the W ellness Center at PARC, 295 New York Road, beginning with r egistration at 8:30 a.m. The first 25 to register

will receive free T-shirts. The cost to r egister is $15 per person. The walk/run will begin at 9 a.m.

Lythia V era, with the Alzheimer ’s Disease Assistance Center, said events like those ar e important to helping the center continue its mission of finding a cure for Alzheimer’s.

“These events bring awar eness to Alzheimer ’s, which is cr ucial for the center ,” said V era. “I personally lost a family member to Alzheimer ’s, too, so I know what families go through.”

Hosting events like the Zumbathon, the Run to Remember and this year ’s Walk to Remember — slated for Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse — helps keep those suf fering fr om Alzheimer ’s at the for efront of people’s minds.

“Through events like these, we raise awareness. So much has been done for Alzheimer ’s by raising awareness,” she said.

Debbie Frederick holds a photo of her father, the late Doug Hoffman of Mooers Forks, who passed away in August 2009 following complications from Alzheimer’s disease. A 5k fun run and walk will be held in Hoffman's memory Saturday, Aug. 20, at the Wellness Center at PARC in Plattsburgh.

Farmers markets a worthwhile stop

I

f you know the person who pr oduced your food on a first-name basis, you’re living the dr eam.

It’s National Farmers Market W eek (Aug. 7-13), a time when the USDA secretary and the Farmers Market Coalition tout the political, economic and social benefits of farmers markets in the U.S. Let them say their piece; we’d rather just eat — maybe a little wood-fir ed bread from Wadhams smeared with goat’s milk cheese fr om Au Sable Forks, all washed down with a fruit wine made in Mooers.

From Warrensburg to Wilmington and Plattsburgh to Port Henry, we’re blessed with a variety of local food pr oducers in the Adirondack region, much of it made in the Champlain V alley to the east and the St. Lawr ence V alley in the northwest.

For many, a visit to the local farmers market is tr eated as a quick, weekly chore. In places wher e the myriad of 10by-10 tents are set up in fields and parking lots and along riverbanks, there’s usually a beehive of activity — locals and visitors looking for good deals, good eats and good company.

But in places like Saranac Lake, wher e the farmers market is located in the heart of the village at Riverside Park, the traveling band of agrarian gypsies becomes the center of the community activity for five hours every Satur day.

Spend the day , and you’ll see what we mean.

Two weeks ago, we did just that, and we were amazed at what we saw. It was Can-Am Rugby weekend. The village was packed with tourists, cars whizzing by the park on River Str eet. In the bubble of the farmers market, the traffic was a stone’s thr ow away, but ther e was no noise.

With the tents set up in an oval — the band shell at one end and a pair of towering white pine tr ees at the other — a picnic table in the center, surrounded by

green grass, was the center of town.

Heck, at the time, it was the center of the universe.

As vendors finished setting up, they were the first to make their r ounds and buy some fr esh pr oduce, cheese and baked goods for br eakfast. Then, over the next five hours, it seemed as though most of the community showed up.

A woman sitting in the band shell played folk and blues tunes, laying the perfect soundtrack for a day at the market.

Locals came by for a croissant and a conversation. The newspaper publisher stopped for fr esh vegetables while taking her puppy for a walk. A mortgage broker ran acr oss the grass after buying a dozen eggs. T eenagers cradled bunches of flowers in their arms. Artists, musicians, r etirees, state workers, not-for profit employees, small business owners, people fr om all walks of life wer e there, as wer e tourists, seasonal r esidents and boaters docking at Lake Flower behind the tents.

This was a snapshot of the community at its finest. Flowers, cheese, pr oduce and baked goods seemed to sell the best.

We guarantee this: The farmers market will make you smile. Grab a fresh sunflower. Eat a cheese and apple danish.

Stick a moose-shaped maple sugar lollipop in your mouth. Stop by a market in your community this week, and you’ll see what we mean.

Introduce yourself, find out wher e the food comes fr om, and make some new friends.

Helping Elmore SPCA The Elmor e SPCA, which serves all of Clinton County , is in need your immediate assistance. Pr esently, the shelter is filled to overflowing with over 65 cats and kittens. These homeless animals ar e just the tip of the cat population explosion. Daily, people call the shelter frantic about what to do after discovering abandoned and homeless kittens along with mother cats barely out of kitten hood themselves.

The animal rescues throughout the North Country are bursting at the seams with unspayed or unneuter ed cats and a

steady str eam of kittens…the terrible consequences of irr esponsible cat ownership. Litters of kittens have been born this spring, and continue to be born.

Unfortunately, many ar e destined to have a short life full of sickness, malnutrition and even starvation without intervention. As a shelter we have taken in many mor e cats and kittens this year then normally due to flooding, hoar ding, abandonment, and surr enders. The cat/kitten overpopulation issue is not only a tragedy in Clinton County but is repeated in every part of the nation annually .

The costs of spaying, neutering, vaccines, medications, and veterinary car e have sever ely impacted our financial resources. We ar e asking you for donations of any amount.

We ar e also in dir e need of canned cat food and dry kitten food to feed the shelter ’s kittens and cats. Please help us so we can help them.

Monetary contributions may be made dir ectly thr ough our website www .elmorespca.org and by mail to Elmor e SPCA, PO Box 686, Peru, NY 12972. The Post Office requires corr espondence. the use of the PO Box for all SPCA Donations of canned food and dry kitten food may be Arthur Road.

If you are looking for a sweet cat or kitten please visit the Elmore SPCA. If you can foster kittens or a cat or two please call Kc at 643-2451. That would do much to alleviate the crowded conditions at the shelter and get our cats and kittens into caring homes.

The Board of Dir ectors and staf f are very grateful for the continued gener osity of individuals, businesses, civic groups, churches, and school organizations. It is your financial support that allows the SPCA to pr ovide shelter and sustenance to homeless, abandoned, and abused animals until they are adopted into loving, lifetime homes.

Insects are an important to your gardens Ways to burn unwanted fat

W

hen most people think of insects, bad ones come to mind.

Fortunately, the vast majority of insects in the world ar e not pests and because every pest has a predator, many insects ar e beneficial.

Beneficial insects ar e insects that help your gr ow healthy plants. The most commonly thought of beneficial ar e the pollinators such as honey bees. But, there is a gr oup of insects that either eat or parasitize unwanted garden pests. Knowing how to attract those beneficial insects to the gar den is important.

The first step in attracting beneficial insects to the garden is to stop using pesticides. These chemicals do not dif ferentiate between the good and the bad bugs. Be patient. If your peppers have aphids, give the ladybugs time to find the smor gasbord, eat, mate, lay eggs, and let the ladybug larvae continue to pick the plants clean.

Planting an insectary in or near the gar den will help attract the beneficial bugs to the neighborhood.

An insectary is a gar den plot or section of the plot dedicated just for the insects. The gar den can be a landscape bed right near the gar den, or several small plantings interspersed among your curr ent flowers or veggies.

Flowers such as fennel, yarr ow, and dill, and composite flowers, such as daisies, cosmos, and zinnias, ar e two important flower shapes that attract insects who, in the adult phase, feed on nectar and pollen but whose larvae ar e voracious pr edators and parasites.

Some of these insects include hoover flies, lacewings, and parasitic wasps.

Low cover is important for gr ound beetles that feed at night on slugs, cutworms, and r oot maggots. This cover can be low-gr owing herbs, mulch, flat stones, or boar ds. T aller plants ar e important for pr edators such as stink bugs and praying mantids. Many times these large, predatory insects hide so well in the tall plants, that we don't even notice they ar e there!

Like all living things, beneficial insects need water. This need can be met by simply placing a water-filled saucer with some rocks in and around it in the garden. Most of these insects have wings and will move out of the garden if water is not available.

With some time and an understanding, even the most bug-squeamish gar deners can come to appr eciate the importance of beneficial insects and biodiversity within the gar den!

Guest Viewpoint

A new economic vision for the Adirondacks: One park, one agency

I

n designing the Regional Economic Development Councils (REDCs) around the state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo did what all other governors before him had done. He split the Adirondack Park into several pieces, connecting each of those pieces to a city and r egion outside of the park’s bor ders. This is disheartening. The Adirondack Park is a distinct r egion with unique economic needs and opportunities.

The Adirondack Park has no cities. It has little in common with Plattsbur gh and Watertown (North Country REDC), Utica (Mohawk V alley REDC) or the Albany/Saratoga r egion (Capital REDC).

Strategies that make sense in a city don’t usually translate well in our r ural and remote communities.

That is why the Adirondack Council — the park’s lar gest envir onmental or ganization — co-founded the Common Gr ound Alliance. It is also why the Council collaborated with the Adirondack Community Housing T rust and partially funded the third volume of an outstanding local community-planning ef fort known as Hamlets III, Planning for Smart Growth & Expansion of Hamlets in the Adirondack Park. W e ar e also asking for the state to cr eate a dedicated fund to assist local economic development planning efforts in Adirondack towns.

More about the North Country Regional Economic Development Council Your editorial r egarding the North Country Regional Economic Development Council was on the mark in terms of noting the need for a distinct conversation regarding the unique economic needs within the Adirondack Park.

However, it was premature in that it came ahead of the full story.

The North Country Chamber has been joined with other economic inter ests in the r egion in highlighting the findings of the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment and stressing the fact that past state economic development strategies such as Empire Zones have largely been unhelpful in the Adirondacks as they have tended to str ess such things as manufacturing and lar ger job counts. W e have continuously advocated for the development of a strategy tailored to the Adirondack Park, citing a sense of ur gency given some of the troubling findings of APRAP in terms of community and economic sustainability in many Adirondack areas.

The Governor's r egion-by-region appr oach finally pr ovides an opportunity to addr ess the dif ferent challenges and opportunities in all areas of the North Country, including the Adirondacks, and he is to be applauded for this sea change in how the state will determine and support economic development.

And while the council covers the broader North Country region for many practical r easons, the first Regional Council meeting on August 5th included two things of r elevance to this topic: First, it was explicitly noted that the North Country actually consists of four sub-r egions, the Adirondack Park being one. And the final plan must take note of the assets and opportunities in all four ar eas, seeing that all ar e included and then knitted together in a compr ehensive strategy.

Secondly, a specific Adirondack Park sub-group is being created and will be headed by Bill Farber , Chair of the Hamilton County Boar d of Supervisors and a r ecognized leader in advocating for Adirondack inter ests. It is hoped that this gr oup will become a cr oss-regional gr oup, something specifically encouraged in the Governor's plans, bringing in voices fr om those portions of the park which are in the Capital and Mohawk Valley regions. This actually creates an opportunity for Adirondack needs and issues to be hear d not only thr ough one r egional council but three, which could pr ove advantageous.

And we see this Adirondack Park sub-group carrying on as a working gr oup well beyond the initial cr eation of a first set of plans later this year , and becoming an on-going vehicle for strategic conversations, r ecommendations and advocacy.

The council's working gr oups and other ef forts will be quickly unfolding in the coming weeks, with an extr emely challenging timetable that r equires full completion of a five-year strategy by November that can then be competitive with the submissions from the nine other regions. And there will be a number of opportunities announced for input, including an envisioned for um in the central Adirondacks among other sessions and other means for active exchange.

Onward and upward!

Jeers to getting jeered I just wanted to start out by thanking all the fans that

Even more...

came out to see wr estling superstar Mick Foley . We wer e recently jeered in another paper for not being fan-friendly at a r ecent event, so I thought I would give a little r eply back to that.

At the FYE signing, it is not that unusual to have to purchase an item to get a signatur e; it's pr etty standar d. This was a FYE corporate decision, since the event was held at FYE, and I found FYE to be the utmost professionals at this event, doing what the store wanted them to do. It is a business, so I do thank FYE and their gr eat staff there.

Mr. Foley was mor e than nice to all his fans, taking time to sign a lot mor e than one item that was pr esented to him — chatting, taking pictur es. So, yes, ther e was a little wait for the next person to see him.

There was an 8 x 10 photo provided, not a cheap piece of paper as was r epresented in this other jeer ,(clearly hearsay). Mr. Foley was to be ther e for only two hours but stayed longer to make sur e everyone was taken car e of, then proceeded to take pictures with the staff at FYE. Sure, we did not raise a lot of money; we work very closely with the team we chose to work with, they ar e a class act of women and we thank them (The Angels),but after the decision to have a purchase done at the door, we were only trying to do what we could with what was presented to us. We respect FYE and their business decision. Once again, this was their stor e. We go by the r ules — tons of security was in place for the event.

We thank Champlain Centre and Russ and Dana for their great team work. Not any pr oblems at all, considering you pay $325 for Yankee tickets, just to have the players totally ignore your childr en. You paid for a DVD and for $10, a lifetime memory of meeting Mr. Foley and having your picture with him.

We work very har d to bring these entertainers to your town, and the bigger events brings business into your town. To be jeer ed liked this I thought was unfair when it was clearly a hearsay situation. W e thank Denton Publications for giving us a chance to r e-speakout on this.

Mick Foley's show at Therapy in downtown Plattsbur gh was a gr eat show, and we thank Therapy for being one of the gr eatest places I've been and seen in Plattsbur gh.

Check them out.

In closing, once again, we thank the fans — without you there is no show! So, show your support to all events that head your way!

Thanks for Museum Day help The docents of the Plattsburgh State Museum would like to thank Lita Kelly Paczak and the members of the Seton Academy and the Seton Catholic chor us and Rock Gr oup for participating in this year's Museum Day activities on June 4.

The Adirondack Park Agency is the only state agency whose sole focus is on the park. Yet the agencies that wer e supposed to be integrated into the APA’s work — DEC, the Department of State and Empir e State Development Corporation — don’t do the same. Each should have a full time effort focused on the Adirondack Park, perhaps in the same of fice complex as the Park Agency. They alr eady occupy seats as agency designees to the APA. Isn’t it time to consider a one-stop-shop appr oach to achieve a mor e cost-ef fective and ef ficient delivery of state goods and services?

In fact, it makes sense to consider combining the work of all four into a single Adirondack Park Administration. Because the park is lar ger than most New England states, it should have branch of fices spr ead around the park. This would curb the need for r esidents to travel long distances to attend public meetings, apply for permits or seek assistance with community-development grants and business loans.

The Park Agency/Administration would finally be able to serve the unique economic needs of the Adirondack Park communities.

It would support sustainable, compatible economic development while pr otecting water quality, wildlife and the park’s wild character.

Mayor’s Cup celebrates another success Mayor ’s Cup 2011 can easily be compared to the shifting winds of sailing.

Nine months of planning, all things on pace, then came the unpr ecedented flooding of Lake Champlain that sent the entire region, including our festival, adrift.

After many weeks of wear and tear on the soul of our community, it was mor e important than ever to find a r eason to say, “Goodbye, flood waters ... Hello, summer!”

Call it good timing or good luck, with Mayor ’s Cup weekend came drier weather, and, like colorful spinnakers, brighter spirits and a r eason to celebrate.

We would like to express our gratitude to the hard-working members of the Mayor ’s Cup Or ganizing Committee, City of Plattsbur gh employees, community volunteers, Sunrise Rotary , Center for the Arts and SUNY Alumni Association.

You helped bring the people of New York, Vermont and Quebec together for a four -day waterfr ont celebration of music, fir eworks, sailing, boat parade, barbecue, biking, kayaking, basketball, cir cus, arts, kids activities, and so much more.

Many people may not be awar e that the Mayor ’s Cup Festival is funded thr ough the financial support of local and r egional businesses. A special thanks to all of our sponsors and supporters for helping to make Mayor ’s Cup 2011 a huge success, despite the excess water .

Finally, congratulations to Matt Spiegel, our 201 1 Spirit Award r ecipient; the cr ew of Soundwave for winning the coveted Mayor ’s Cup; and the cr ew of Liverpool Jar ge for winning the Rotary Cup; and thanks to all boaters and crew for their loyal participation in our r egatta and boat parade.

Help needed for playground As a r epresentative for the upgrade ef forts of Chazy Recreational Park Playgr ound, I am asking local businesses to donate items and/or money fr om their stor es to help collect funds to update the playgr ound.

The town has recently given us permission to update the Chazy Recreational Park Playground. However, it is up to the community to raise all the necessary funds for the playground. A daunting task, but it is a challenge we are all up for.

Please support this upgrading effort by donating an item from your business to help us raise the necessary funds for a new playground.

Let’s turn our outdated Recr eational Park into a joyful place for our childr en to play again. I thank you for your support in these ef forts.

City and Town with Don Kasprzak and Bernie Bassett J

uly finally br ought summer weather! Hot and humid was the norm and it continues. Fall is right around the corner so enjoy the rest of summer!

As usual, we were busy in City Hall. The 4th of July Parade and The Mayor ’s Cup & Regatta wer e held and good weather pr evailed. Fireworks were held for both events. The Parade of Lights, downtown entertainment, and the sailing were well attended. I want to thank all of our sponsors, Sunrise Rotary , city employees, Beth Carlin, and Y106.3 for all of their support and assistance. The Plattsburgh Public Library was the location for the kick-off for the New York State Summer Reading Pr ogram announcement.

We continue to host fishing tournaments which ar e very important to the area. W e also continue to meet with FEMA of ficials with the hopes of financial support for all those af fected by flood damage. I visited the Strand Theatre with Stephens Mundy for a tour and was very impr essed with the progress of this pr oject. When the Strand opens it will most certainly solidify downtown but will be very important to the entir e area as well.

As always, I dealt with the many constituent concerns and complaints which ar e always very time consuming. Some of the issues we ar e dealing with include downtown parking, animal contr ol related pr oblems, r oad construction/traffic, the footbridge, Saranac T rail project complain ts, and neighbor/landlord r elations.

Of course, r egardless how we handle these issues it always seems I am at fault but we just do the best we can to work these problems out!

I am pleased and appr eciate the city construction pr ojects and development which indicates to me the economy is challenging but is moving ahead slowly.

We will begin our budget sessions in early August which always concern me.

Each and every budget we have worked on since becoming mayor have been difficult and this one is no exception. The mayor ’s budget will be pr esented to the public and to the Common Council by Oct. 1 at the latest.

Everyone enjoy the end of the summer with friends and family! Thanks.

State Procurement Assistance Center free bid-matching service announced BidLinx to help small businesses find gov’t bid opportunities PLATTSBURGH — The New Y ork State Procurement Assistance Center at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh’s North Country Small Business Development Center is now of fering “BidLinx,” a new service to help local firms find leads to government contracts.

BidLinx is a W eb-based government contract bidmatching service that monitors thousands of bid sources on the Internet and sends e-mail notices of opportunities tailor ed to match a f irm’s p roducts, services and cap abilities.

Bid sources include federal government agencies including military; state agencies and authorities; county and local governments; all 50 states; U.S. territories; and international government websites.

"A bid-matching service can cost hundr eds, sometimes thousands, of dollars,” said Jim King, state director of the SBDC, “As a result of funds r eceived from the Small Business Jobs Act, we are pleased to offer BidLinx free of charge to NYSSBDC clients statewide.”

In 2010, the federal government awar ded $98 billion in government contracts exclusively to small businesses, the lar gest single-year incr ease in more

than five years.

“In the past two years, our pr ocurement advisers statewide have stepped up their ef forts to help small businesses learn how to get their shar e of government contracts,” said SBDC interim dir ector Karen Stehlin. “BidLinx is another tool in our box of resources that we can of fer to our clients.”

Finding appr opriate bid opportunities is one of the key hurdles to government contracting. W ith mor e than 87,000 agencies at the federal, state, county and local levels, it is overwhelming for an individual to monitor all of them.

BidLinx can save a smallbusiness owner hours of research by delivering bid notices based on very specific criteria describing the firm’s capabilities.

“With mor e than 2,000 sources monitor ed daily and more than 140 in New York state alone, BidLinx is sur e to open new doors to government contracting opportunities for our clients, especially at the county and municipal levels,” said SBDC government contracting coordinator Roxanne Mutchler.

Business owners interested in BidLinx may contact the North Country SBDC, located at 194 U.S. Oval, for an appointment.

The center may be r eached by phone at 564-2042 or by e-mail at sbdc@ plattsburgh.edu. SBDC counseling is confidential and fr ee of charge.

s we work our way into the month of August, once again there are signs of change as back to sch ool advertising has begun! This fall, in the Bassett home, our son will enter Potsdam State as a fr eshman. Like many other families, we ar e excited for him as we also prepare for changes in our home.

In July , the Clinton County Fair dodged the traditional week of showers but in its place had to manage some of the hottest temperatures of the season. Congratulations to Glenn and the Fair Board for their work and another outstanding event.

Though July was a little less hectic for us we r emained busy . Most r ecently we have been working with the Kohl’s Department Stores. They have been in discussion with our Planning and Codes Departments. Kohl’s would be a welcomed addition to our local retail market. Also, work on the new T exas Road House ramped up last month in anticipation of a fall opening.

With two public hearings behind us, we continued to move forwar d with a new local law to regulate the management of solid waste. We also began our kick-off meetings with FEMA to addr ess r eim-

bursement for town expenses incurred during the spring flood.

As usual ther e were many meetings, committees and presentations to participate in. At the end of the second quarter, sales tax r emained up and we ar e cautiously optimistic that those pr oceeds will be above what we budgeted for 201 1. Thi s is good news as we have been working to do upgrades that will pay dividends in the future by r educing our ener gy costs. W e have also been working with a very aggressive highway-paving budget this summer. The good weather has enabled our Highway cr ew to make measurable progress and hopefully we will achieve our goals before the quarry closes this fall.

Though ther e is new optimism coming from Albany the economy r emains fragile and many North Country families r emain uncertain about their future. Still, I remain confident that the town of Plattsburgh will continue to make steady economic progress for the r est of this year and next.

Best wishes to everyone for a safe month of August and enjoy the second half of summer!

Bernie Bassett is supervisor of the town of Plattsburgh.

A bear named sunscreen W

hen I was a kid — way befor e the World W restling Foundation, E.T . or even Star Wars — the Satur day evening entertainment wasn’t a night out at the movies, it was watching black bears gor ge themselves on table scraps at the Newcomb dump.

Back before it became politically incorr ect to heave your bags of trash into the big crater in the earth, dumps in locales like Newcomb, Long Lake and T upper Lake wer e legendary for nightly visits from br uins who became supersized on discarded leftovers.

We’d kick back in ratty lawn chairs and watch them for hours as house flies buzzed around their tiny clamshell ears. W e’d give them names like Bone Cr usher, Pizza Face and Budweiser.

Oh how we’d chuckle.

Locals would r ecognize them year after year and would speak about them over morning coffee.

They’d say things like, “Pizza Face looks like he’s a muf fin over 600 pounds this year .” And, “I nearly smacked Budweiser this morning with my pickup.”

Even mor e fun was watching the visiting flatlanders who — for getting the fact that Budweiser, Pizza Face and Bone Cr usher wer e wild creatures capable of swatting them of f the planet like a black fly — would attempt to feed them by hand or get close enough to add one to the background of a family portrait.

I once saw a guy nearly lose his hand in an attempt to feed a marshmallow to one absolutely humongous bear as his thr ee young children looked on in horr or. Of course, we later named the bear Marshmallow.

Oh, those were the days.

Today, things ar e dif ferent. Dumps ar e now transfer stations (just exactly wher e do they

transfer all that gr eat bear food to anyway?) and bears have been forced to fall back on their natural instincts for food.

Of course, being the opportunists they are, bears will most likely always step on the toes of humans now and again.

Such was the case last weekend when my kids, Harrison and Malena, discover ed that a bear had climbed into the family car while it sat in the driveway of their Schr oon Lake home.

The only r eal casualty was a tube of sunscreen and container of baby wipes the bear took a hankering to — but I’ll let my kids tell you the full story . Their version is attached to this column.

Great job on the story , by the way , guys. I think we should call the bear “sunscr een.” (I can pictur e them giggling on the couch at that one.)

Senior wildlife biologist Ed Reed said the number of nuisance bear complaints in DEC Re gion 5 has been very low this year , at just 20. Most have been r eports of raided garbage cans and bird feeders.

“Normally we have more like 150 complaints by now,” Reed said.

Reed attributes the low number of complaints to above average natural food sour ces for bears, like berries, apples, black cherries, acorns and beechnuts.

Bear complaints normally rise during years when food sour ces like these ar e scar ce, often during very dry spells.

That was not a pr oblem this spring, and the natural food offerings have bears fat and happy and out of the back yar ds of most of us.

Unfortunately for hunters, seasons of above average sour ces of food usually mean below average bear harvests during the early and regular season, as the bruins become hard to locate and pattern.

We shall see if that trend holds true when the

My son, Harrison, inspects a black bear I took in 2003, not far from the site of a recent encounter my kids had with another bear, which they wrote about below.

Editor’s Note: The following is a firsthand account written by my son Harrison, age 10, with help from my daughter Malena, age 8, about an encounter they had with a wild bear at their home in Schroon Lake. They titled the piece, “The Sunday Bear .”

By Harrison and Malena Gereau

O

n Sunday morning, me, my mom and my sister wer e walking to the car to go to church. Mom stopped us as we approached the car and low and behold a bear had gotten into our car . It looked as if the bear climbed into the car thr ough the window. There were paw prints all over the car door . My sister said that she thought the bear had a cub, because ther e were small and big paw prints.

Last week, we lost our cat named Bitty Boo. W e think the bear had something to do with that. She just wandered into the woods and has not come back yet.

That same morning after the bear got into the car , we figur ed out that he or she had bit into the new can of sunscr een and it squirted all over the inside and outside of the car . He or she also bit into the tip of our mother ’s car seat. One other thing that the bear almost demolished was a whole container of baby wipes! Those things were all that were inside the car that night.

It was very fun to tell friends about the cr eature, but we sure hope he’s gone away. early bear season in these parts opens Sept. 17.

In the meantime, I know one bear that shouldn’t be burning the roof of its mouth anytime soon.

That one was for you, Harrison and Malena.

Roy wins second straight, gains Airborne Speedway’s point lead SOUTH PLA TTSBURGH — Martin Roy swooped ar ound leaders Gr eg Atkins and Leon Gonyo with nine laps to go and went on to his second straight DIRTcar Modified win on Della Auto Group Night at Airborne Speedway Aug. 6.

The 30-lap main event was a bruiser that took nine cautions to complete. Clean r estarts were the issue. The race was red-flagged after thr ee laps when Matt W oodruff got up on the wheel of Cam Grady’s machine and slammed into the turn four wall. W oodruff was not seriously injured.

Roy started 15th in a 28-car field, gained some spots early by attrition, and then passed a trio of cars on the backstr etch as they were navigating a back marker to move into eighth on Lap 10. At that point, the top5 r unning or der was Atkins, Gonyo, Jimmy R yan, Mike Reyell and Craig Reyell.

George Foley got up to second with a late char ge in the outside lane. A final caution on Lap 26 gave him a shot at the win, but Roy pulled away

at the dr op of the gr een and won by thr ee car -lengths.

Atkins held of f a late char ge from V ince Quenneville to claim fourth. Positions 6-10 went to Mike Phinney , Andy Heywood, Jimmy Ryan, Pierre Berthiaume and Chris Cayea.

On Lap 21, Gonyo was sizing up Atkins for a possible pass for the lead, when Roy moved farther outside to pass them both. “It was a crazy race,” he said. “I tried to wait for a while for the tr ouble to stop. ” The former track champion had spent the afternoon qualifying for a NASCAR Canadian Tire event at Trois Rivieres. “It was important for me to get back to Airborne tonight and try to keep racing for the championship. Thanks to all the fans who come out and support the track. ” Defending Ernie's Discount Tools Modified champion Patrick Dupr ee began the night as the point leader , but he suffered electrical problems in his heat race and started at the rear of the field in a back-

up car that was soon sidelined with a broken panhard bar.

Roy now leads Dupr ee 460448 with thr ee point races remaining. Foley is in thir d place another 14 points back.

Robin W ood, Jamy Begor and Bucko Branham finished nose to tail in the J&S Steel Sportsman feature. Wood took the lead on a Lap-10 r estart and dr ove to his sixth win.

Nick Heywood and Dave Rabtoy finished 4-5. Earlier , Begor won the six-lap $250-towin Sportsman “Dash for Cash.”

Point leader Kevin Boutin of Fairfax, VT held of f Robbie Favreau to win the Renegade feature. The pair traded the lead several times while r unning door to door - Boutin inside, Favreau outside. Lance Rabtoy was a close thir d. Josh Allen and Robert Gordon were next in line. The Renegade “Dash for Cash” was won by Josh Terry of Morrisonville.

Erick Sayles of Lake Placid took the Mini Modified checkers with Kris Clark of Keeseville a car -length away .

Director’s artifacts on display PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh Public Library, 19 Oak St., currently has a display of books and other items relating to the atomic bomb explosions that took place in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Aug. 6, 1945, and Aug. 9, 1945, respectively.

Among the displays are items collected by library director Stanley A. Ransom while on duty with the U.S. Army of Occupation in 1947. Ransom toured the Nagasaki site that year.

“Nothing seemed to have been done to clean up the city at that time,” recalled Ransom. “The machine gun factory was a heap of twisted metal girders. The school and hospital wer e concr ete shells, w ith a ll w indows and doors goneand debris lying all ar ound. The fronts of the school and hospital wer e slammed hard enough to flatten the front edges.”

Ransom toured the hospital and picked up fr om the floor two sets of yen

coins, both fused together and blackened, now on display. The hospital sink drains were pools of melted lead on the floor, blackened by the atomic flash.

All glass was melted and in the shape of small beads. T wo examples of these are also on display.

Books on top of the display ar e available for loan. Books inside the

glass cases are from Ransom’s personal collection and show the development of printing from pictographs, hier oglyphics and clay tablets to incunabula and other examples of printing thr ough the centuries.

The display accompanies the library’s focus on August as “Book Reading Month.”

Refreshing idea Liam Kelting, Addison Kelting, and Michael Prenoveau capitalize on a prime location adjacent to one of the stops on the Secret Garden Tour recently. The three were selling cold drinks as people took the tour throughout the Plattsburgh area hosted by the Kent-Delord House Museum.
