FLYING A KITE

This Week ELIZABETHTOWN PLATTSBURGH

Overgrown hedges becoming an issue in the city.

jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Business is booming in the town of Plattsburgh.

New construction projects and developments are popping up all over town, according to Steve Imhoff, zoning and codes officers for the town.

“There’s a lot of exciting stuff going on now,” said Imhoff.

One of the most noticeable in the town, said Imhoff, is the construction of a Texas Roadhouse restaurant on outer Cornelia Street. Plans for the 6,700-squarefoot restaurant were approved by the town planning board in March, with an anticipated opening this fall.

What has also generated buzz in that vicinity is talk of a Kohl’s department store locating where the former Ames department store once stood. Imhoff said the town has been approached regarding the property and a preliminary review of the site has been performed by a team of Kohl’s representatives.

“The way I understand it, when these guys come to town, they’re serious,” said Imhoff.

Though still early in the planning stage, Imhoff said a 2013 opening has been discussed.

Other projects within the town include: • Creation of a new gas station and convenience store at the corner of Banker Road and State Route 22B CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 AROUND THE REGION

PERU — The North Country Underground Railroad Association will be offering guided tours of anti-slavery sites in both Peru and Keeseville every Saturday in September. The trips will be led by organization President Don Papson.

“It’s one thing to go to a museum and read panels,” Papson said. “It’s another thing to go to where the history actually

happened.”

The sites the two-hour tour will visit are related to the abolitionist movement in the North County in the decades prior to the U.S. Civil War. One site is the United Methodist Church in Keeseville, which had been led by Rev. Merritt Bates, an abolitionist. The congregation also had a member who had been enslaved and freed in Plattsburgh.

Additionally, according to Papson, Peru’s Methodist Minister Rev. Andrew Witherspoon, was tried at the Keeseville church for

his abolitionist views.

Another site the tour will visit is the Old Congregational Church, now a Masonic Lodge, in Keeseville. The church was led by the abolitionist Rev. John Mattocks, Papson said. The house behind the church, known today as the Arthur House, was a stop CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Rugar Street’s traffic patterns to be altered on Saturday

PLATTSBURGH — The city of Plattsburgh has approved a temporary change in the traffic pattern for the section of Rugar Street from Memorial Hall to Sandborn Avenue Extension. The change will be in effect this Saturday, Aug. 27, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

According to the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, the traffic pattern change is requested to ease traffic congestion as college students move into dormitories. The one-way traffic pattern will ensure the safety of students and their families as they move into the residence halls, the majority of which are located within a four-block stretch of Rugar Street.

Motorists traveling along Rugar Street, between Memorial Hall and the Sanborn Extension, will be able to only go west toward Plattsburgh High School. Those traveling in an easterly direction — toward Lake Champlain — will find the street closed at the intersection with the Sanborn Extension. They will be diverted along Sanborn to Park Avenue to Draper Avenue and then onto Broad Street.

The Sanborn Extension will also temporarily become a one-way street. Individuals will only be permitted to drive from Rugar Street toward Park Avenue.

City examines issue of overgrown hedges

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The city’s common council is examining what Councilman Christoper Jackson, Ward 6, considers a “growing” issue.

During the council’s Aug. 4 meeting, Jackson brought up his concern about overgrowing hedges that are being found more commonly throughout the city.

“I was walking one day over by the corner of Bailey and Grace avenues and noticed the hedges growing so far over the sidewalk, that some people didn’t have room to walk on the sidewalk,” said Jackson.

The more he walked the city with his dog, Jackson found similar situations, including the corner of Hamilton and S. Peru streets, among others.

“It just makes it difficult for people with disabilities, the elderly and parents with strollers, especially, to use the sidewalks,” said Jackson.

The councilman suggested the city put an ordinance on the books that would require property owners to trim their hedges and keep sidewalks clear, similar to a law that requires them to shovel their sidewalks during the winter.

“What we’d do is survey the city in late May for any overgrown hedges and send a letter out in the beginning of June to any property owners whose

Councilman Christoper Jackson, Ward 6, brought up the topic of overgrown hedges at the city’s Common Council meeting Aug. 4. Jackson said overgrown hedges, like the ones seen here on Grace Avenue, have become a nuisance for pedestrians that will only worsen if not taken care of before winter.

hedges were obstructing sidewalks,” said Jackson. “Then, we’d give them to Aug. 1 to rectify the situation.”

If the situation was not resolved by then, the city would take care of the hedges for them and then bill the property owner for the work on his or her property taxes.

Since word has spread of the council beginning to examine putting such legislation in place, Jackson said he has received several favorable comments from city residents.

“I’ve gotten a lot of phone calls and

e-mails, particularly from elderly people telling me they’re glad somebody noticed [the situation],” said Jackson.

The council is now in the process of consulting with code enforcement officer Rick Perry and department of public works superintendent Mike Brodi to develop language for an ordinance. Jackson said the council will take its time on the matter but will have legislation in place for next summer.

Gordon Hipko, Plattsburgh, enjoys live music at the "All for Ana" benefit held at Cocktails in Morrisonville Aug. 21. Twenty-three-year-old Ana Araujo — a Morrisonville native who attended Saranac Middle School and graduated from Plattsburgh High School — suffers from focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a condition which has caused her to go into renal failure and require dialysis treatments. Araujo will undergo a kidney transplant before the end of the year by the same doctor at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt., that performed Hipko's transplant several years prior.

Publisher’s Viewpoint

With another sports season, Let’s find our moral compass a few reminders on behavior A

W

hile all area high schools will be officially opening their doors to students in the next two weeks, many of those students have already found their way back to the facilities’ athletic fields.

Almost every sport will have started practicing for the upcoming fall 2011 high school sports season by the end of August, all with eyes on athletic excellence, quality competition and, in the case of varsity teams, a chance to chase the goal of a sectional or even state championship.

The first games are set to take place Labor Day weekend, with a full set of Northern Football Conference games on tap, quickly to be followed by the new Section VII unified soccer season and Section X soccer season, as well as the volleyball, cross country, girls swimming and cheerleading seasons.

This is just the beginning to a new year of sports in all three seasons: fall, winter and spring, where student athletes will take to the field, pool, mats and courts to try their best.

With that comes a few reminders about making sure that the student athletes, coaches and officials enjoy the season, as well as those who come to watch their children, family, friends and alma mater play.

First, when it comes to modified and junior varsity sports, let’s remember that there are no championships here. Sure, it’s nice to win, but these levels are to prepare student athletes for the varsity levels.

Coaches need to remember that these are the levels where fundamentals and implementation happen and coach accordingly. It would surprise a lot of people how many modified teams who win very few games then turn into varsity teams that wins sectional titles.

Also, this is something that parents and fans have to remember. You may question why a certain move took place, but remember that coaches on these levels are trying to give athletes as much experience as possible, which might not always be in the same interest as winning the game.

When it comes to varsity sports, make sure that the competition stays on the field. Nothing is more embarrassing than seeing fans taunt each other and opposing teams because they feel it is helping their team. It’s not. It’s embarrassing them, the

school and, more importantly, the person doing the taunting.

No one goes to work the next day and says, “Did you see how so-and-so screamed at the ref for a bad call and then ran down to the sidelines to confront the coach after the game. They have real team spirit.” Instead they say, “Did you see how so-and-so screamed at the ref for a bad call and then ran down to the sidelines to confront the coach after the game. They’re a real jerk.”

Unfortunately, this type of behavior can be promoted when people are allowed to anonymously post derogatory comments about other teams, officials and coaches on websites, or have those comments seen in print. You can’t trumpet the cause of sportsmanship in one breath and then provide a platform for malicious and hurtful speak in another.

Student athletes need to remember the same. There is no need for name-calling, derogatory remarks or insults in the midst of competition. If you think you need to do it because your sports role model does it, you have the wrong role model.

Enjoy the competition. Enjoy playing against your peers in athletic contests.

Former opponents can be close friends after the games end, and the glory days are retold to children and grandchildren, or even right after the final buzzer sounds.

This also leads to being a good sport.

There is no need to insult or talk bad about a team after a game is finished, because the game is just that — finished.

Over.

What would be great is when the endof-game lineup takes place, every player and coach meant what they said when they went through that line, instead of walking through like a zombie mumbling out, “good game” or “nice job.” Be sincere in victory and defeat.

So, to all who are ready for another scholastic sports season, here is to a safe, fun and, hopefully, sportsmanship-filled year of competition.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR/WEEKLY COLUMNS • www.the-burgh.com - 7

Keeping kids safe

City sees need for animal rescue As a St. John Feral Cat Fund, Inc. (SJFCF) volunteer, I was heartened to read that the City Council is considering budgeting funds for animal rescue. Our organization receives countless calls daily requesting someone to ‘come and pick up’ stray, sick, or abandoned animals. This week we’ve received calls regarding two additional hoarding situations in Clinton County – one involving 30+ and another involving 20+ cats.

The SJFCF is a non-profit agency staffed by volunteers. Its work is NOT supported by city, county, or other government funding. Our mission is to reduce feral feline population via Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). However, most local shelters are at capacity and short-staffed.

SJFCF is often asked to help (free of charge) with rescues like the Lakeside Apartment and the City cat hoarding.

During the hoarding rescue, SJFCF volunteers worked with CCES to prepare the temporary shelter. Our volunteers transported healthy kittens to the temporary shelter quickly – within a few days. Over the next three weeks, the SJFCF found homes for the most feral (wild) ones and transported them from the hospital. Shortly thereafter, remaining cats were transferred to the shelter. This helped keep costs to the City to a minimum.

SJFCF volunteers visit, clean, feed, and medicate these animals twice daily, seven days per week. Our group has spearheaded publicity regarding the availability of these cats and kittens and have facilitated all adoptions. We’ve promoted the availability of the animals on both our Website (http://members.petfinder.com/~NY483/index.html) and on Facebook.

I am relieved that the City Council recognizes the need to allocate funding for these situations, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It would behoove City and County officials work with local veterinarians on programs to make sterilization more affordable. It is clear that we have a serious problem throughout Clinton County.

On behalf of Northeastern Clinton Central School, we would like to thank all of the area businesses who contributed to our 2nd-annual After-Prom Party.

This event was a huge success. Students burned the midnight oil enjoying activities such as inflatable games, entertainment by a hypnotist and even a creative henna tattoo artist.

Each student left with a prize, delicious breakfast, and, most importantly, they were in a safe environment.

Again, many thanks for the support you give to the community and Northeastern Clinton Central School.

Government is broken I am a 79-year-old military retired veteran. I served my country to the best of my ability. At that time, I had great respect for our United States Government.

What is happening to our country? Our government is broken. I never conceived this could happen. The situation worsens daily. We have representatives in Washington, who only have their own best interests in mind. They have no respect for the office of the President or the American citizens. This is proven out daily by their actions. Our problems are fast coming to a catastrophic conclusion.

Today, our country for the first time in history had it’s credit rating degraded. This does not appear to concern many of our elected representatives. They have gone on recess for the entire month of August. Recess is better known as a paid vacation. Recess is also a time when one can get away from Washington and forget all the problems resulting from their poor judgment. They should bow their heads in shame.

plant your cool season crops for a fall harvest as well. Crops such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts would have needed to be planted earlier (around mid-July) for a fall harvest. But leafy greens such as lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, and arugula can be planted now for a fall harvest.

I always plant a larger crop of fall greens than a spring crop. The longer days of August and the summer heat gets them off to a good start. The cool, crisp fall weather gives the greens a sweeter, milder flavor and prevents the plants from bolting.

What’s great about fall greens as well is that they can withstand light frosts and with some protection can even handle heavy frosts.

While many annuals and perennials are starting to look leggy and tired this time of the year, the vegetable gardens look great. With some additional planning, planting, and pruning, harvests can be increased in both quantity and quality!

On behalf of the Plattsburgh Professional Firefighters Association, we would like to thank all participants and sponsors of this year ’s golf tournament, held on July 30.

The event was held, with all proceeds benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Without the support of the community, this event would not be possible.

We would like to thank these sponsors for their contribution and hole sponsorships: The Barracks Golf Course for their generous hospitality, Plattsburgh Distributing, South Plattsburgh Volunteer Fire Department, Lake City Fire Equipment, Shumway Insurance Agency, Brooke & Irwin Insurance Agency, Plattsburgh Professional Firefighters Association, Plattsburgh Police Local 812 and Industrial Med Testing.

Thank you all again for your continued support of the tournament and most importantly a great cause! Hope to see you all again next year.

n a visit to my mom’s last week, I shared my abundance of summer squash with her. She remembered an Italian soup that my grandma used to make and we got to work in the kitchen. The outcome was a pleasant surprise.

Just when I thought I couldn’t eat one more bite of summer squash, this recipe change everything and I can’t wait to make it again.

It is surprisingly sweet and savory, and best of all it is super simple to make.

Caring for your vegetable gardens y vegetable garden is in full swing right now. Just this morning, I piled my harvest of carrots, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, cucumbers, fennel, and eggplant onto the counter. And, I still left plenty in the garden that will need to be harvested over the next few days and weeks as well. In addition to the never ending watering and harvesting, there is still quite a bit to do in the garden during the month of August.

One of the important tasks in the vegetable garden in August is to encourage the warm weather crops to ripen their remaining vegetables. The first step in this process is to stop fertilizing your tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Fertilizer will only encourage the plants to put on new growth and new flowers instead of ripening the fruit on the vine.

In addition, you want to take the time to prune off all of the tomato’s lower leaves. This prevents the spread of fungal diseases from the soil up the plant. While you are pruning, now is also the time to consider pruning off any blossoms on your indeterminate plants. Removing the blossoms will encourage the fruits that are on the vine to ripen before the first frost of fall, which aren’t too far off.

Now is about the latest that you would want to

All problems are apparent, and our representatives are being paid to seek them out and correct them. May I call to your attention that Congress has a 82 percent unfavorable rating. I find this rating absolutely disgusting and nauseating.

In the meantime, I intend to speak to as many people as I can, write letters, emails, and spread the word as I see it. Trust me on this point, I shall be very active in all ways possible.

Program helps bridge gap in services for the visually-impaired

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The North Country Association for the Visually Impaired makes it its business to help those who suffer from vision problems — even those who sometimes fall between the cracks when it comes to qualifying for services.

According to NCAVI executive director Donna M. Abair, the nonprofit organization — which has been providing vision rehabilitation services since 1989 in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and St. Lawrence counties — contracts with the state to provide services for the blind and legally-blind ages 55 and older free of charge. However, the organization recognized there was a largely underserved population of those who didn’t meet that criteria.

So, they decided to help.

NCAVI created the Courtesy Visit Program, which consists

of making house calls free of charge for home evaluations of those requesting services, explained Abair.

“We visit with folks anywhere from one to three times, where we offer advice, bring them new or recycled equipment and give them home evaluations for things like magnifiers to help them with their vision,” said Abair.

The visits also help the visually-impaired with suggestions of how they can make their homes more accessible such as by improving lighting and utilizing clocks and other devices with larger print.

Though NCAVI provides services through the Courtesy Visit Program, it continually raises money privately to keep services going, said Abair. This year, the organization dedicated its annual “Golf for Sight” golf tournament at Harmony Golf Club in Port Kent toward the program. The event raised more than $8,500.

“We were encouraged by the participation,” said Abair, who felt people were compelled to join specifically to help the Courtesy Visit Program, which last year alone served 50 people and this year expects to double that figure.

The Courtesy Visit Program is also important to have in place to help prepare the visually-impaired for further complications with their sight they could develop over time, said Abair.

“When we catch people earlier than when they become legally-blind, it’s an advantage for them,” said Abair. “This way, their familiar with us and they’re not behind the eight ball. They have the tools in place to help them cope and are way ahead of the game.”

For more information about the Courtesy Visit Program or other services offered by NCAVI, contact the organization at 562-2330 or visit www.ncavi.org.

“This summer ’s activity continues to reinforce that we are going the right direction and it is only the beginning,” he added.

When it comes to economic development in the city of Plattsburgh, Mayor Donald M. Kasprzak noted that the city differs from the town in that it has “limited property to develop and has a high percentage of tax exempt property.”

“With that being said, I am very pleased with our growth and development within our city boundaries the last several years,” said Kasprzak. “We continue to add to our tax base, create jobs, and offer new opportunities to residents and business owners.”

The mayor said he attributes that to the city’s stable tax and utility rates over the last five years and the services offered by the city.

Council takes on accounting mess Board members examine transferring of finances

By Jon Hochschartner jonh@denpubs.com PERU — The Peru Town Council waded through confusion at its Aug. 22 meeting regarding whether funds intended to go toward the Heyworth Mason Park and walking trail projects had been transferred into a reserve account as planned.

Supervisor Peter Glushko said the money was in the process of being moved, though he believed a lot if it already had been transferred.

Town Board Secretary Pamela Barber said Carolyn Tetrault, a certified public accountant working for the town, was preparing to move the funds but was called away on an emergency.

Council Member Susan Polhemus said she didn’t know why that should stop Peru from acting independ-

ently.

“Why can’t we do it?”

Polhemus said. “We’ve always done it in the past. It’s just moving money.”

Glushko said uncertainty surrounded some of the funds.

“Those monies go back all the way to, quite frankly, what were our dark ages around here,” Glushko said.

“We want to make sure that money really is there.”

Barber said the town wasn’t sure which funds Tetrault had moved and which she hadn’t. Polhemus said she still didn’t understand.

“If stuff had been moved why is there still only $12,000 in the park (account)?” Polhemus said.

Glushko said that some of the money had been spent.

“There were bills all the way through here for engineering costs and whatever,” Glushko said.

Polhemus wasn’t satisfied.

“Right, but then somewhere along the way you would have had to do an approval to move the funds in the reserve to the regular account to be used,” Polhemus said.

Glushko agreed.

“You’re right; you’re absolutely correct,” Glushko said. “We’re all still trying to figure out what exactly wasn’t done. We are not sure. That’s the problem.”

The supervisor added some of the accounting problems of the past had not been immediately rectified.

“I hate to raise this ghost up,” Glushko said. “You go back to 2006 when the comptroller came in, threw their hands up, and said, ‘We can’t do anything. We don’t have any idea what’s going on.’ Well that didn’t just stop suddenly. Some of that stuff continued.”

spring flooding by Peru workers, which is believed to have cost tens of thousands of dollars, before taking the issue into executive session.

Jay and Peru have a contract under which they share services. Highway Superintendent Michael Farrell said in getting Peru

compensation from Jay, he didn’t want to wreck his contacts with the town.

“It’s a touchy subject with me because we have a good working relationship and I really don’t want to screw it up,” Farrell said. “But I understand the board’s way of thinking too. It’s a doubleedged sword.”

The supervisor, on Aug. 22, estimated the cost of assistance provided by Peru to Jay during the flooding to be around $25,000. Glushko said he hoped this will be repaid with an increased number of Jay’s services shared with Peru.

‘Little Champy’ stars in new kids’ book by author Gordie Little

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

MORRISONVILLE — Author Gordon R. "Gordie" Little has a new book out and it’s just in time for the completion of the new Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point.

“Little Champy Goes to School” — a 63-page hardcover children’s book recently published by Bloated Toe Publishing, Peru — tells the story of “Little Champy,” a young lake monster who lives at the bottom of Lake Champlain.

The story, said Little, is about Little Champy going to school to learn how to undulate.

“Which everyone knows is important for any lake monster to do,” said Little, laughing.

The story features characters like Little Champy’s mother, “Mama Champy;” his father, “Big Champy;” and his grandfather, “Old Champy,” who support him as he as he prepares for the big test of a surface swim near the Lake Champlain Bridge. “[The book] teaches kids to persevere,” said Little. “It teaches them to do their lessons, pay attention and whatever they do, do their best.”

The story of Little Champy is one Little has been telling for years but only most recently came together in the form of an actual book.

“I’ve told this story to hundreds of school kids and teachers and they all

seemed to like it,” said Little.

Little Champy Goes to School originally took place under the old Lake Champlain Bridge, but with the demolition of the bridge last December changing the story of the bridge, the story of Little Champy was changed, too.

“I was planning to publish it before but then they had the bad sense to blow up the bridge on me,” Little said with a laugh. “When I heard they were going to replace it, that’s when Larry Gooley [owner of Bloated Toe Publishing] and I got together to get this book out before its reopening.”

“[The book] teaches kids to persevere ... It teaches them to do their lessons, pay attention and whatever they do, do their best.”

Gordon R. “Gordie” Little Local Author The book features color illustrations on its front and back covers designed by Les Bradford of Peru.

“Les is an old Korean War pilot who retired from Plattsburgh Air Force Base and he’s a dear, wonderful friend,” said Little. “He’s done a

fabulous job.”

Bradford created the cover images by overlaying different colors of construction paper, said Little, resulting in images of both the old Lake Champlain Bridge and a depiction of what the new bridge is expected to look like, with Little Champy swimming along the surface of the lake in the foreground.

Bradford’s artwork, which is also found inside the book, comes together with the story of Little Champy to produce a book Little said has been “selling like crazy.”

Little Champy Goes to School also features historical tidbits about the Lake Champlain Bridge, said Little, which he feels adds to the educational aspect of the book.

“I think kids are really going to like it,” said Little.

Little Champy Goes to School is available at the following locations in Clinton County: Mountain Mart, Altona; Conroy’s Organics, Beekmantown; Dick’s Country Store and Music Oasis, Churubusco; Maggy Pharmacy, Dannemora; Peru Health Mart, Peru; Corner-Stone Bookshop, Plattsburgh; and Cornerstone Drug and Gift, Rouses Point.

Little’s book is also available directly from Bloated Toe Publishing on their website, www.bloatedtoe. com.

patrick Cancer Center in Plattsburgh. So far, her body has been responding well to the treatments, she said. “[The doctors] said it seems to look good,” said Parker.

Given that Parker has been unable to work since she began her treatments, her daughters have stepped up to organize a benefit in her honor this Sunday, Aug. 28. The benefit will be held at Cocktails, 42 River St., Morrisonville, beginning at 12 p.m.

The event will include entertainment, 50/50 drawings, a Chinese auction, and a michigan dinner. A dart tournament will also be held with registration $10 per person. Trophies will be awarded to the winners.

For more information, including how to make a donation toward the event, call Tina Parker at 536-0708.

jeremiah@denpubs.com CADYVILLE — When Eva “Penny” Parker was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, it was something she said came completely of out left field.

“It was like a punch right in the face,” said Parker.

Everything was normal until almost three months ago when Parker went to the doctor when she wasn’t feeling well. The resulting diagnosis at first was a sinus infection. But, it got worse.

“It got to the point where I couldn’t even move,” said Parker.

So, she paid a visit to the emergency room where doctors ran tests and found she had cancer. Even though Parker had battled and overcame lymphoma 10 years prior, it was still a shock, she said.

Dick’s Country Store and Music Oasis showcasing local talent

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com CHURUBUSCO — Dick’s Country and Music Oasis is shining a spotlight on local talent.

The business began hosting a monthly talent show last fall and is rapidly approaching its first year anniversary of featuring performances by musicians from across the North Country, said employee Tony LaClair.

“We’ve got our 11th one coming up,” said LaClair, referring to a show scheduled for Friday, Sept. 2.

“We get about five to six performers each show, playing about four song each. It’s not a competition, just a showcase.”

The talent show started because the business felt there needed to be another venue for musicians to per-

form and for people to enjoy that music, said LaClair.

“We basically wanted to give people who don’t have whole lot of places to perform a place to come try out their stuff and meet and hang out with other musicians,” said LaClair. “We’ve created a musical community atmosphere around the store.”

Dick’s Country and Music Oasis — located at 7429 U.S. Route 11 — is “kind of in middle of nowhere” but well-known to many, said LaClair, which has helped draw musicians from “pretty much everywhere.”

“We’ve had people from Canada come down, people in the Tri-Lakes area like Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. We’ve had people come from Plattsburgh and Vermont,” said LaClair. “They come from quite away.”

And, so do those who come to hear the music. The average show sees 60 to 100 people in attendance,

said LaClair.

“We were doing the shows in the back room at the store but this summer we moved across the road to our bigger building,” said LaClair.

The Sept. 2 talent show will feature Canadian-born folk artist and now Chateaugay area resident Josée Allard, Plattsburgh area folk artist Celia Evans, Saranac Lake folk artist Theresa Hartford and Brandon and Seana Gambill, vocal performers from the Hogansburg area, among other performers.

“We basically put together a show where the acts complement each other,” said LaClair, who said the line-up for each show is decided upon in advance based off those who register.

The Sept. 2 show — which will start at 7 p.m. — will also feature a giveaway of a Dillion guitar. Those who attend will be entered to win though must still be present at the time of the drawing in order to win, said LaClair.

Former Cadyville Elementary building back on the market

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com CADYVILLE — The Saranac Central School District is again looking for a buyer for the former Cadyville Elementary School.

School district superintendent Kenneth O. Cringle said the district has been trying to sell the State Route 3 building since the spring of 2009, and, most recently, an “offer was in the works” for approximately six months, but fell through.

“The board of education entered into a provisional sales agreement with a due diligence period for the proposed buyer to conduct additional inspections,” said Cringle.

“Following the initial agreement, the district was willing to extend this study period un-

der certain terms and conditions. The terms in the contract were not met in a timely manner, therefore, the property was placed back on the market.”

The prospective purchaser expressed plans to create “higher end condominiums” on the property, which has been assessed at $469,000, said Cringle.

CDC Real Estate Inc. is actively marketing the property, recently touring it with an interested party Aug. 17, said Cringle.

Getting the property back on the tax rolls would be a benefit for the school district and other taxing jurisdictions, Cringle added.

“Generating additional district property revenue, particularly during these difficult economic times, is always a welcomed tax payer offering,” he said.

The former Cadyville Elementary School, located on State Route 3, remains for sale after a purchase offer fell through recently.

Tournament will return to help NCCS varsity golf, soccer teams

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — Organizers of the Friends of NCCS Golf Tournament are looking for a few good golfers.

The annual tournament is returning for its third year Sunday,

Sept. 11, as a way to raise money for the varsity golf and soccer teams at Northeastern Clinton Central High School.

Golf team coach Matthew Fredette, one of the organizers of the tournament, said funding raised by the tournament is “crucial.”

“There isn’t a lot of money in the [school district] budget,”

said Fredette. “So, something like this helps us go to tournaments, buy uniforms and equipment.”

The tournament is a lot of work to organize, but worth the effort, said Fredette.

“It’s almost imperative we host this because it gets the kids the things they need,” he said.

The Sept. 11 tournament will be held at North Country Golf Club, 862 Hayford Road, and will follow a four-man scramble format. Teams must have a combined handicap of at least 40.

Prizes will be awarded for longest drive, closest-to-the-pin and for first, second and third places.

Special hole-in-one

prizes have also been donated by Parker Chevrolet.

The cost to register is $50 for course members and $70 for nonmembers. Both prices include a cart and dinner.

For more information, to register or sponsor a hole, call Fredette at 297-2665 or Dale Hawksby at 297-2867.

Albino Blacksheep to headline Monopole this Friday night

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — Albino Blacksheep is laying down the funky bass lines.

The band — consisting of Cody Reid on bass and vocals, Cliff Reynolds on guitar and vocals, and Sam Murphey on Drums — is based out of Plattsburgh and plays its own brand of “edgy funk” and “simplistic, yet full sounding music ranging from folky to funky to heavy,” said Reynolds.

“We have a very wide range of influences,” said Reynolds, who listed the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob Dylan, Incubus, Grateful Dead, Phish, and Primus among their favorite bands. “All of the band members have different influences which

makes coming together and mashing them all together a fun and unique experience.”

Reynolds and Reid have been working together in a studio setting for close to a year creating music. Murphey was added on drums, allowing the band to “put a new spin on some of the music we have been working on,” said Reynolds.

“We always have a fun time and love playing,” he said. “I think listeners can see this and are drawn to the sound.”

“People who listen to our band are people who appreciate an eclectic mix of music and just like to have fun,” he added.

Though the band only recently formed, each band member has had experience play gigs around the area.

Reynolds started playing at the former Maggie’s Bar about six years ago. Reid has been playing in various popular bands in Plattsburgh for almost a decade and is currently playing in the band Shameless Strangers as well.

Murphey has also played in a band named the Maple Syrup Enigma.

“We are currently working on a whole bunch of new of music and can’t wait to see where it might take us,” said Reynolds.

The band’s next performance is slated for this Friday, Aug. 26, at the Monopole, 7 Protection Ave., starting at 10 p.m.

(Editor’s Note: Check out Albino Blacksheep on Facebook for updates on the band and a list of upcoming performances.)

Roy rockets to 3rd straight Airborne Speedway win Begor takes home first place finish in Sportsman SOUTH PLATTSBURGH — Nobody takes it higher and deeper into the third turn at Airborne Speedway than DIRTcar Modified point leader Martin Roy. The Napierville, Quebec driver of the Gamache Trucking No. 90 used up some right rear tires with the maneuver earlier in the season, but adjustments have now landed him three consecutive victories. He holds a 16-point lead over defending champion Patrick Dupree with two point races remaining.

Dupree, who started alongside Roy in the sixth row of a 28-car field, got a crack at the winner Aug. 20 when the yellow came out with two laps to go, but he couldn’t stay with him when the green was thrown. He closed to Roy’s bumper at the

end, but had to settle for second.

“My car was too loose, just too loose,” Dupree said. “I couldn’t get to him.” Roy took the lead from early pacesetter Greg Atkins on lap 17 after a red flag for Kris Vernold’s machine. Vernold had just yielded second place to Roy when he hit the tractor tire barrier at the bottom of turn two, broke a spindle and shot off the top of turn two.

Dupree sat fourth on the restart, quickly passed Andy Heywood to advance to third and then shot under Atkins for second three laps later.

George Foley improved to fourth behind Atkins in the closing laps.

Heywood recorded his fourth top-5 finish of the season. Positions 610 went to Pat McGrail, Leon Gonyo, Aaron Bartemy, Vince

Quenneville and Richard Tisseur.

Jamy Begor made the best of some good fortune to secure his first J&S Steel Sportsman win of the season in the Connor Sand Pit/Begor ’s Supply No.19. Begor was running fourth when 15year-old Brandon Atkins’ best race of the season came apart with four laps remaining. Atkins had stayed in the outside lane after finally clearing Shawn Duquette at the front of the field after the pair had raced side by side, swapping the lead for eight circuits.

His Northfield Utilities No. 4 got turned around by Howard Stoner, who had just overtaken Duquette for second place. Both cars were sent to the rear. That set the stage for Begor to take over

Jamy Begor of Mooers was the J&S Steel Sportsman feature winner at Airborne Speedway Aug. 20.

and win by four car-lengths over Bucko Branham. Branham beat Duquette to the line by two feet. Robin Wood was a close fourth, followed by Nick Heywood, Travis Bruno, Jamie Atkins and Danny Sullivan.

“I tried to be in whatever lane was going forward,” Begor said. “The preferred line was the outside. It feels really good to get the win. It’s been a while for me.”

Rick Doner of Ausable Forks, the former Mini Mod-

ified champion, won a Renegade thriller in a photo finish, besting Joe Warren of West Chazy. Point leader Kevin Boutin was a few feet away in third. Lance Rabtoy and Josh Terry completed the top five.

It was Doner ’s first career win in the Renegade division.

Jason Durivage of West Chazy won the Busch Bomber 25-lap special. Johnmichael Bresette and Dale O’Neil placed second and third.

Mini Modified point leader Speedy Bresette denied Erick

Sayles’ bid for his sixth win by beating him to the wire for his first win of the season.

Kris Clark was third. Josh Laporte and Jamie LaFountain were next in line.

The Modifieds will go without roofs on the progressively-banked Airborne halfmile Saturday, Aug. 27, for the Dick Nephew Memorial presented by Liquor & Wine Warehouse. Also on tap, the make-up of the Versatile Trailer Sales Renegade 50 that was rained out in June.

New York state’s deer plan: My two and a half cents F

aithful followers of this column undoubtedly fell off their seats last week when I actually penned something on the state’s proposed deer management plan that was chock full of factoids but absent of my ever-so-superfluous opinion.

Well, this week you won’t be disappointed.

Before I smash the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s plan on the floor and jump up and down on it with football cleats, however, I first want to commend them for the effort.

Honestly, we’ve had too many knee-jerk regulations put in place in the past without a thorough process involving public input and sound science. It is nice to see wildlife managers step back and look at the broader picture in the interest of a healthier herd.

The DEC has received well over 2,000 comments on this plan over the past two years, and it appears as if they are listening to us.

Recommendations like expanding youth hunting and huntable land as well as increasing crossbow use and opportunities for disabled hunters are evidence of that.

But other recommendations, while put forth with good intention, are seriously flawed in my opinion — mainly because DEC just doesn’t have the “boots on the ground” to adequately implement and track them.

They are certainly not at fault for that. If the state would free up the $26-$28 million we sportsmen have sitting in the conservation fund, perhaps the trend of not filling badlyneeded positions at the DEC would end.

In the meantime, I have to question the viability of proposals like the one to switch to an across-the-board doe permit system, without enough staff in place to implement them.

There is no question that a doe permit system would require a careful tracking mechanism to determine the size of the herd in any given area to work. Currently, the DEC relies heavily on things like doe sightings reported by bowhunters when determining deer numbers, and thus how many doe permits an area can support.

I’m not so sure that type of analysis of the population is going to provide sufficient data to accurately base doe permit numbers on. I also doubt they could estimate the herd

quickly enough in the spring to doll out the correct number of doe permits that fall.

Further, I know wildlife officials who would argue that deer numbers change very little from one year to the next — at least in the northern zone — even after doe harvest is allowed with primitive arms. So what exactly will be gained?

Plus, I think many northern zone hunters have the same concern as me in that very few permits would be issued here. That, to me, means less opportunities for the ever-dwindling number of folks who still hunt here. According to the state’s own numbers, deer hunting has dropped 40 percent since 1980 — can we really afford to drive anymore away?

I just don’t think the deer population, the number of hunters or the number of antlerless deer they take during bow and muzzleloader seasons fluctuates that much, and it certainly hasn’t decimated the herd.

At the same time, I would argue that the DEC routinely underestimates the number of people who harvest deer yet fail to report their take as required — but that’s a column for another day.

Antler restrictions I’ll keep this one short and sweet — I’m not a fan of antler restrictions. I’m not a trophy hunter — never have been. Nice antlers are a bonus, but they’re really chewy no matter how thin you slice them. You want monster racks? Watch the outdoor channel.

I’m also skeptical that antler restrictions would make much of a difference in New York. Unless you’re talking about a heavily managed ranch somewhere, I’ve seen very little hard evidence that restrictions actually create more opportunity for larger racked deer, at least in the wild. In fact, I’ve read studies that say just the opposite — that removing the herd’s older deer with the best genetics can actually be detrimental to antler growth.

Meanwhile, young deer taste better and are often less apt to make it through a severe winter. This region has always been about sur-

State DEC participating at New York State Fair SYRACUSE — The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is participating in the New York State Fair, which opened Aug. 25 and runs through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 5.

The DEC has exhibits at both the Aquarium Building and the Log Cabin Building at the fair. Both buildings are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., daily.

At the Aquarium Building, various species of live fish are on display in large tanks.

DEC officers are also on hand to talk to the public about their work and answer questions pertaining to environmental law.

DEC’s Division of Fish, Wildlife and Marine Resources is selling hunting and fishing licenses on limited days this year. Licenses may be purchased in the Aquarium Building through Sunday, Aug. 28, and again Labor Day Weekend, Saturday, Sept. 3, through Monday, Sept. 5. A biologist will be on duty to answer hunting and fishing questions on those days when license sales are not operating. In addition, Sportsmen’s Education is located next to license sales during the entire fair, as is the New York Conservation Officers Association.

The Conservationist booth features the DEC’s educational and eye appealing environmental magazine. The public can sign up for the magazine (and save $2 on a subscription) and enter a contest to

win a free lifetime fishing license. No purchase is necessary to enter the contest.

Outside and behind the Aquarium, the DEC is staffing a display on the importance of water in New York State and offering free drinking water to the public at the popular “water bar.”

At the Log Cabin, the Division of Lands and Forests has daily free tree giveaways starting at 10 a.m. each day.

There are also displays and information regarding the emerald ash borer and other invasive species that pose a threat to New York. Staff is available throughout the day to educate the public about DEC’s programs to control these invasives and what one should do if they discover a pest.

Belleayre Mountain also has a large display and is providing handouts, including brochures and information about New York’s popular state campgrounds. The Big Bucks Club also has a display and members available to answer questions. DEC’s Watchable Wildlife program, Onondaga County’s “Save the Rain” campaign, and information from the Environmental Facilities Corporation is also available in the Log Cabin.

The Adirondack Mountain Club is also staffing the lean-to along the nature trail that runs behind the log cabin.

Tim Salerno captured this interesting picture this spring of a mature coyote carrying what appears to be the head of a fawn in its mouth. He got the nighttime shot using a trail camera. vival of the fittest — so why harvest only the fittest?

Longer season Lastly, I just can’t bite my tongue on the proposed extension of the seasons, most of which benefits bow hunters.

Before I continue, though, I want to make one point absolutely clear — I am an avid bowhunter — I absolutely love the sport and I admire anyone with the patience and dedication to harvest a deer with a bow.

But it seems like every time the state tries to increase opportunities — youth and crossbow hunting immediately come to mind — they first have to appease the bowhunting lobby before it can be enacted.

You can’t tell me that the addition of nearly two weeks to the front end of the bow season in the southern zone, for example, wasn’t an olive branch given to bowhunters because they will have to put up with three days of youth in the woods with firearms.

15 $ 9 $ 29 $

An additional week of bowhunting is also proposed for the northern zone, pushing the last day of regular season to Dec. 9 and the last day of late muzzleloader to Dec. 16. I don’t know about where you hunt, but around my camp the deer are normally in their yards by then, and does are pregnant.

Is a season at that time sound science?

Here’s an idea; change the license year to allow kids in the woods before Oct. 1. Then, why not give them first crack at the forest when the deer are still in their natural patterns.

Wait a minute .... was that a collective gasp of air I just heard from the bowhunter groups?

Better tack on another week of bow or it’ll never fly.

North Country towns wrangle with state’s property tax cap

NOTICE OF 2011 LAKE CHAMPLAIN SEA LAMPREY CONTROL TREATMENT SCHEDULE AND TEMPORARY WATER USE ADVISORIES

Supervisors say cuts and mandate relief needed

By Jon Hochschartner jonh@denpubs.com

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service announces that sea lamprey control treatments will continue this September in four tributaries and two deltas of Lake Champlain. The sea lamprey is a parasitic fish that has seriously damaged the trout and salmon fishery in the lake. Crews will apply TFM to four streams and Bayluscide to one delta area according to the following tentative schedule: Date September 7- 8 September 15

Stream Ausable/Little Ausable River delta Boquet River

Treatment dates for the Poultney River, Mt. Hope Brook and Putnam Creek have yet to be determined, but will likely be during the last two weeks in September.

These treatment dates will be announced to the local media and on the sea lamprey control hotline when they become available.

Temporary water use advisories will be in effect in specific areas following each treatment. The purpose of the advisories, developed by the Department of Health, is to minimize exposure to the sea lamprey treatment compounds.

The Department of Health recommends that river water, which may contain treatment concentrations of TFM, should not be used for drinking, swimming, fishing, irrigating, or livestock watering until the control chemical dissipates.

Nearby lake water, which may contain dilute concentrations of TFM, should not be used for drinking or livestock watering until the advisory is lifted. In the case of Bayluscide, the Department of Health recommends that the treated lake water not be used for drinking or livestock watering for 4 days following treatment, or for swimming, fishing, or irrigation for 2 days following treatment. In addition, anglers should be aware that fish within the area treated with Bayluscide may contain low levels of this compound for 14 days following treatment.

The treatment and water use advisories will have no effect on most people in the Champlain Basin and no municipal water supplies will be affected. An extensive series of mailings has already been initiated by department staff to contact landowners and renters who may be affected by the treatments. Local broadcast media will announce when advisories begin and end. There is also a toll free number (888-596-0611) the public may call for progress reports and updates on treatments and water use advisories.

To determine if you may be affected by the advisories, please consult the table below:

ELIZABETHTOWN — North Country towns and villages are struggling to deal with the requirements of the 2 percent property tax cap Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law in June.

As a result, many government leaders report their budgets will require cuts and they need mandate relief.

The tax cap is set at 2 percent or the average of the national consumer price index (CPI), whichever is lower. The cap could be overridden by a 60 percent vote of a governing body.

Unfunded and underfunded mandates include legal requirements that a local district provide a program, project, or activity on behalf of the state or federal governments.

A day-long tax cap training event hosted

by State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s office was held Aug. 25 at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Supervisors from the towns of Keene, Minerva, Ticonderoga, Plattsburgh and Peru said before press time they planned on attending. The mayor of Lake George said he was not personally attending, but two of his representatives were.

William Ferebee, supervisor of Keene, said the cap definitely will affect his town, though he wasn’t sure yet if it would require budget cuts.

The state comptroller ’s guidelines regarding the cap, according to Ferebee, have so far not been clear “at all.”

What if, for an unseen reason, Ferebee said, the town had to hire a lawyer, the cost of whom would place the budget over the tax cap? What would the town do?

“Really we don’t know the ground rules yet,” Ferebee said.

Keene employees haven’t seen a pay raise in three years, and in order to grant a pay raise, Ferebee said he’d need to cut from unmandated programs.

“I’m opposed to the cap,” Ferebee said. “If there was a cap on state mandates, that would be a different story.”

Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey said the tax cap would require cuts in her town, but she wasn’t sure where in the budget.

“Everything needs to be reviewed,” Montgomery Corey said.

The Minerva supervisor said she thought

the idea of managing costs was a good one, but living with a cap without mandate relief is “going to be tough.”

Ticonderoga Supervisor Debra Malaney said cuts were inevitable in her town because of the tax cap. She’s asked all departments to find at least 10 percent cuts in their budgets.

“Everything is on the table,” Malaney said.

Still, the Ticonderoga supervisor said she supported the cap, seeing it from the perspective of both a homeowner and a municipal leader.

“People need relief from taxes,” Malaney said. “We need to be able to afford to live here.”

The Ticonderoga supervisor said she wanted to know what a town was supposed to do in the unforseen event infrastructure is broken, and fixing it would put the budget over the cap.

Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Bernie Bassett said he was optimistic cuts would not be required from his budget as a result of the cap.

“We’re a lean, mean machine,” the Plattsburgh supervisor said. “We operate very frugally.”

Still, he wasn’t certain Plattsburgh would escape cuts due to the town’s lack of a general tax, and because some of the details of the cap remain unclear.

Bassett had mixed feelings about the cap, saying it represented a “broad-brush” approach.

“The tax cap is there for good purposes,” the Plattsburgh supervisor said. “The motive, the incentive, has merit. The question is ‘Can we do it?’”

While Bassett believes Plattsburgh can, he isn’t so confident about other towns.

Peru Supervisor Peter Glushko said he didn’t think the 2 percent cap was going to represent a hardship for his town.

“We are in no way anticipating that we’re going to exceed that,” Glushko said, adding that taxes have been decreasing or staying level in his town for the past two years.

The Peru supervisor described his position on the tax cap as “qualified support.”

“They have to really start tackling these unfunded mandates that come down,” Glushko said.
