Crafty Geeks to bring out the undead for a good cause

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — If you’re in downtown Plattsburgh Oct. 23, don’t be too frightened when you see a couple hundred zombies walk by.

The Crafty Geek Brigade is hosting their second annual Zombie Walk, beginning at the Plattsburgh Farmers and Crafters Market Saturday, Oct. 23, at 6 p.m.

The Zombie Walk, which will also added a zombie prom this year, actually began with Shannon Thayer who just thought it would be fun to have zombies walking through Plattsburgh.

“I just have a general love of zombies,” laughed Thayer. “It was something I was just kind of kicking around with my family.”

After beginning to plan the Zombie Walk, Thayer was notified by a friend the CGB also hosts one, so Thayer and the CGB joined

“We’re going to go down Durkee Street to Trinity Park,” said Thayer. “We’re going to go up Trinity Park and come down Margaret Street … and then we’re going to go up Broad Street and it’s going to end on campus.”

Once the zombies reach campus, they will head into the Angell College Center for the prom, which will feature music from Vermont Joy Parade, Bike to the Future, Deviant Loners, and Long Cat. “It’s still family-friendly and slowly as it emerges into the night it will just keep getting louder and louder,” Cummins said of the music. “But, it’s appropriate for a zombie prom.”

For the prom, the CGB partnered with the Center for Women’s Concerns, which Cummins said has been a great collaboration.

“It was just really cool to get them involved because they have their own community responsibilities as a club and organization on campus and they wanted to get involved on that aspect and also just kind of doing something fun and kind of getting out of the box,” she said.

As for the walk, last year brought in more than a hundred of the walking dead, which Cummins said is a lot of fun.

“You get to see the public react,” she explained. “Many people don’t really know what this is. There’s going to be people eating at Irises or Smoked Pepper and they’re enjoying their fine meal and then imagine just 200 people dressed as zombies, just lurching past the window. It’s priceless.”

For more information about the event, search Zombie Walk & Prom on Facebook.

forces.

Last year ’s event was held for fun, but this year ’s will actually be a fundraiser.

CGB member Kimberly Cummins explained Rich Green, a cook at the North Country Food Co-op is beginning a program called “Free the Food,” and he needs money for ingredients.

“It’s a donation-based food and luncheons,” said Cummins. “I think there’s that notion that if you go to a food pantry, that you’re really down on your luck … But this is kind of trying to take the stigma away from that.”

Cummins said she believes the luncheons will begin this month, and will also feature music, movies and open mic.

To raise money, the Zombie Walk and Prom will be a $3-$5 donation.

the ‘burgh to undergo change in distribution Timing as they say is everything. In January, Denton Publications launched a new publication called the ‘burgh. Driven by local business inquiries to provide our weekly direct-mail publication service to the town and city of Plattsburgh and the PARC Development, the ‘burgh concept was hatched and initiated Jan. 21. Despite being the middle of winter, early support of the paper was strong, but as time has passed and the economy worsened, financial support for the paper has waned.

Reaching more than 15,000 homes has a hefty price tag and without business support, the paper alone can no longer carry the substantial postage cost required each week. Many in the community recognize the value of this product. Its popularity among readers of all ages has been evident in the responses we have received from articles, number of fans on our Facebook page and input from advertisers using the paper as a marketing tool.

Starting with the Oct. 16 edition, the ‘burgh will convert to “Demand Distribution” and be available for free at more than 100 locations throughout the Plattsburgh area. Also, the ‘burgh will remain available via E-Scription, able to be sent directly to your e-mail. Don’t forget, the entire paper may also be viewed at www.the-burgh.com.

Though the ‘burgh will no longer be directly in your mailbox, the switch will have its benefits.Without being conscience of the mailing weight of the ‘burgh, the publication will likely be adding pages, allowing it to better serve Plattsburgh area readers.

Girls Scouts recognize ‘Women of Distinction’

PLATTSBURGH — The Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York recently awarded five local women the honor of being “Women of Distinction” for their efforts in the community.

On Sept. 30, Megan Borland, Vickie Phaneuf, Angela Spahr, Michelle Hills, and Michelle Menard were given the title as being Women of Distinction, which the Girl Scouts select “based upon their significant contributions to the community, their impact on the lives of those around them, and their example for women of all ages.”

Borland, who received the Distinguished Leader of Tomorrow award, is an 11th grader at Lake Placid High School. During her introduction speech by mistress of ceremonies Keela Dates, the Distinguished Emerging Trailblazer recipient of 2009, Dates said, “Unlike many young women her age, Megan carries herself with a confidence and style that’s all her own. She glows from the inside out and serves as an incredible example for her peers as well as the younger students who spend time with her during tutoring sessions.”

In Borland’s acceptance speech, she said it was through all the community service and outreach programs she was involved in that she learned the value of helping others.

“As the old saying goes, ‘What goes around, comes around,’” she said. “With every little thing I do for someone else, it comes back 10fold in the joy I see I brought to them and the things I helped them accomplish.”

The second recipient of the WOD award was Vickie Phaneuf, who earned the Distinguished Trailblazer award.

“From what I’ve learned about Vickie over the past couple of months, she seems to be a true servant to others,” said Dates. “Vickie has held many occupations in the areas of childcare, senior services, mental health services, special events and others too numerous to list.”

“Vickie has taken her love for others and desire to learn new skills wherever she goes,” she added. “It seems in Vickie’s eyes every individual is worthy of love and support and she’s constantly trying to learn how to help others.”

According to Phaneuf giving to others was never an option for her growing up, it was instead considered a privilege.

“My mother made sure that we were involved with as many school activities and organizations as possible,” said Phaneuf. “One of those was Girl Scouts. My memory of walking over the bridge as a Brownie to receive my Girl Scout pin seems like yesterday, and I believe it was the start of a true leadership role.”

Angela Spahr received the Distinguished Community Leader award. Spahr is involved in numerous activities including scouting, community, church and school services.

“To say Angela is a passionate person would be an understatement,” said Dates. “Her tireless dedication to everything she is involved in is just incredible. She seems to have some sort of superhuman strength which propels

October 9 - 15, 2010

her from her home … to school where she works in the 12th grade resource room as a consultant teacher, as well as serving on numerous committees, helping with various projects, to church where she is a Sunday school teacher as well as a team group advisor, to whatever event she is organization, for whichever charity she is focusing on helping at the moment. She is truly Superwoman.”

For Spahr, a quote from Mohandas Ghandi summed up why she does all she does. “’We must be the change we want to see in the world,’” Spahr quoted. “We really do need to, because we are far away from our future.

We’re taking this planet. We need to give it back in better condition than it is now. So, do something.”

The second Distinguished Community Leader award went to Michelle Hills who is an active member on many community planning and development committees such as Mobilizing for Action, Planning and Partnership Committee, the Action for Health Subcommittee, Eat Well/Play Hard Partnership, Mental Health Subcommittee, and the Saranac River Trail Project.

“Although being involved in Girl Scouts is certainly not a prerequisite for this or any other Woman of Distinction award, Michelle has been surrounded by the culture of Girl Scouts her whole life,” explained Dates. “She learned many skills from being a part of Girl Scouts that has served her well and she loves to pass the knowledge on to other young people.”

During her speech, Hills said she was just 10 years old when she had her first volunteer experience.

“I road my bike five miles and I raised $15 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation,” Hills recalled. “I was overjoyed when I crossed the finish line because I knew in my heart I had just made a difference in the life of another kid.

I knew that kid would probably never ride a bike and would possibly die at a young age. I was grateful for the gift of the lesson.”

The final award of the evening went to Michelle Menard, who received the Distinguished Personal Achievement award.

According to Menard’s biography provided by the Girl Scouts, she is “excelling in a field traditionally dominated by men.” She is currently the only woman on the Operations Analysts Team of Casella Waste Home Office Team, and often gives back to the community as a way of “re-energizing” herself.

“As many of you from Plattsburgh know, [Michelle] has been challenged by the transition from her family-run business of Northern Sanitation to the corporate world of Casella Waste Management,” Dates said. “Through it all she has proven she is capable of doing anything and everything that businessmen can do.”

“We are all created equally,” said Menard in her speech. “But, when it comes to being a woman, we tend to have to stand up for ourselves and then push ourselves to grow in business, in our lives, in our journey today. We choose that path.”

Paranormal Expo to take over rec center next Saturday

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Northern New York Paranormal Research Society and the City of Plattsburgh Recreation Department are doing it again.

The two organizations are bringing back the Northern New York Paranormal Expo next Saturday, Oct. 16, to the City of Plattsburgh Recreation Center. The event, now in its second year, was in high demand from visitors to the inaugural event last October, said NNYPRS founder and president Merrill McKee. “Our goal was to get about 500 people there last year, but we surpassed that with about 900,” said McKee. “I was ecstatic. I was very happy with the response.”

This year ’s expo will feature many of the same kinds of vendors as last year, said McKee, offering books about hauntings, new age products, tarot cards and other items that pique interest of those interested in the paranormal. The expo will once again feature guest speakers from across the region

and the Northeast, said McKee. Among the speakers will be David Pitkin of Saratoga Springs, an author of numerous books on hauntings in New York and throughout New England; Vermont author and radio commentator Joe Citro, and Dan Lowenski, a speaker at last year ’s expo.

“Last year, Dan discussed UFOs. This year, he’s presenting a talk called ‘The Ark of the Covenant: Movies, Mystery and Myth,’” said McKee. “He’s done a lot of research on the ark and its representation in movies. He’s even built a life-size replica of the ark.”

The NNYPRS investigation team will also be on-hand to discuss the investigation process, which McKee said people found “very interesting” at last year ’s expo.

“People always want to know more about the equipment the NNYPRS uses,” said McKee. “So, some of our team will be talking about that, what we use it for and the equipment our tech guys have even created.”

McKee said with the expanded offering at this year ’s event, he anticipates attendance will be even greater.

or some years now the editorial staff and I have been floating the idea of a regular publisher ’s column for the papers. In principle it should be common as the big nose on the end of my face. In reality, I’m a reader, not a writer.

I’ve penned many columns over the years, but doing one weekly has always been my down fall.

Blame it on writers block, not being a professional writer (my high school English teacher is still aghast I’m in this position), or not wanting to come off as a Know-It-All, which I am far from. All have contributed to the spotty appearance of offering a regular voice. I envy other publishers who craft regular, witty and insightful pieces. Perhaps in time I’ll find a comfort level, but for now here goes as I dip my toes once again…..

“I think we’re really going to have even more people turn out this year. A lot of people have been asking us to do it again,” said McKee. “It’s gotten bigger than we expected.”

And, McKee groups himself in with those counting the days down to the event.

“I’m looking forward to it,” said McKee. “Not only because it’s going to be fun, but because it’s always a good thing for our group to show people who we are and what we do.”

The expo will be held next Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission will be $6 for adults at the door and $4 for City Recreation Center gym members, students with a college ID, and senior citizens. Children 12 and younger will be admitted free. Attendees can receive $1 off the price of admission for bringing a nonperishable food item to be donated to local food pantries.

Mr. Hoffman, nice try but it’s over. Well, at least that’s what I originally wrote when I drafted this column a few days ago. We just learned this morning at press time (Oct. 5) that Mr. Hoffman has made the difficult choice to suspend his candidacy for the 23rd Congressional District.

While he will remain on the ballot in name only on the Conservative Party ticket, he has encouraged his supporters to vote for Matt Doheny. After attending the two debates between Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Doheny it seemed clear to me that their positions on most issues were relatively close. The biggest difference between the two was their position on winning the Republican

nomination. Matt made it clear once the people voted he would respect their choice while Doug made it clear he was in the race til November regardless of the primary. To me, there was something disingenuous about taking that stand but obviously a position Mr. Hoffman felt he needed to remain firm on, at least until after the primary.

Clearly it was the right choice for Mr. Hoffman to withdraw and it was the right choice for the constituents of the 23rd District. Now it’s time to let Congressman Owens and Doheny have a fair go at it without the “what ifs” of a third party candidate. Let’s hope for a good race based on the issues and not personal attacks ... Hey, come on! I can hope, can’t I???

Two-Party System I don’t know about you, but I for one am really getting sick and tired of our two-party system.

It’s just to damn self-serving. I want to see candidates who are seeking office to solve problems ... in particular, my problems. I don’t want to put anyone in office who’s first interest is their party, second is their own self-interest and lastly comes their constituents. Far too much time is spent beating the other team over the head instead of finding solutions and seeking compromise. Before you know it, those of us not in office will have to resort to a form of “Fantasy Government” much like they do in sports. You know, when your team stinks you can take solace in selecting players from other teams for your make

October 9 - 15, 2010

believe team, in make believe league and pretend they (really YOU) are winning. In sports you can win on many levels. Unfortunately with government, unless you are winning in the pocket book, it’s pretty hard to put on a happy face.

Debates Initial inquires have gone out to both Owens and Doheny camps regarding a debate in the coming weeks. I personally placed the calls. We will keep you abreast of a date, time, and location as soon as we can.

Local Economy We continue to hear from local merchants that the flow of dollars in our community is not what it should be. We hope the recent "$25 on the 25th campaign" yielded some strong local action. But, it takes more than a one day reprieve to rebuild the lost confidence that is evident on our main streets. As a community we all have a stake in making things work and only when the dollars are flowing throughout the community will we be able to put this nasty recession behind us. I do see positive signs in other communities around us but this northern most region of New York State still appears to be lagging behind. A recent national study noted that only $15 remains in the local economy when $100 is spent at a national retail store while $45 remains in the community when $100 is spent at a locallyowned store. Here’s hoping we get this thing turned around soon, as our ability to publish and deliver these papers is based solely on the local enconomy.

NCCCA doesn’t want an arm WORKING FAMILIES SUPPORT and a leg for ‘Arms and Legs’ McCleery for

Mayor

Annual fundraiser slated for next Saturday at Strand Theatre

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — If it’s got arms or legs — or even loosely related to that theme — chances are it’ll be up for grabs at the Arms and Legs Auction.

The annual event, hosted by the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, will celebrate its sixth year of raising money for the nonprofit organization’s arts programs next Saturday, Oct. 16.

Leigh C. Mundy, president of the NCCCA board of trustees, said the auction has been a successful fundraiser for the cultural center since she suggested it six years ago.

“When I came here and joined the board, they were looking for a really good fundraiser. So, I suggested Arms and Legs, a fundraiser I did for an arts organization in West Virginia.”

The auction, which typically consists of furniture such as chairs, tables and coat racks — basically “anything with arms and legs,” said Mundy — has been successful each year.

“On a good year, we’ve made $14,000 and on a notso-good year, we’ve made $10,000,” said Mundy. “It’s a good chunk of change.”

However, Mundy doesn’t want those figures to deter someone from coming to Arms and Legs. Despite the name, the event isn’t looking for an arm or a leg when people bid on items up for auction, she said.

“Some pieces go for $30 and some go for $500. And, it’s not how good the chair is. It depends on the audience who wants that piece,” said Mundy. “There’s really no rhyme or reason ... If these pieces were going up for bid in New York City or Santa Fe, they would probably be going for thousands.”

Many items have started to pour in for the live auc-

“We’ve got another piece, a natural wood table by Jackie Sabourin that’s something you’ll never find anything like, except at this auction,” added Mundy.

Tickets for the event are $20 in advance, available at the NCCCA, 23 Brinkerhoff St. Admission at the door will be $25. The cost of admission includes food, open bar and a bidder card.

“Even if you don’t want to bid on anything, it’s a good deal in general,” said Mundy, noting ticket proceeds also benefit the cultural center. “Although, I always get one or two pieces myself. They’re all over my house.”

The pieces donated for Arms and Legs will be shown at the cultural center Monday, Oct. 11, through Friday, Oct. 15. Surrogate bids will be accepted during that time for those unable to attend the event.

It’s Girls Night Out Annual event returns in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

By Anayely Garcia ana@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — With long days full of cooking, taking care of families and managing a career, many women often look forward to letting off some steam and unwind with their favorite girlfriends while enjoying a good laugh.

“Girls Night Out is an evening dedicated to women’s wellness, and it’s in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Sandra Geddes, manager of community outreach at the Foundation of CVPH. It’s an event that has been happening for more than 10 years. This year, Girls Night Out will take place Tuesday, Oct. 12, in the E. Giltz Auditorium in Hawkins Hall, at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.

The event will feature two show times at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

“Our keynote speaker is usually someone humorous that appeals to the femininity of the crowd in terms of careers, husbands, and

family routines that we have to go through as we get older as women,” said Geddes.

The night will feature national stand-up comic Carol Hughes presenting “The Skewed Views of Mrs. Hughes.” Hughes travels across the country and has performed in the 2008 Winnipeg Comedy Festival in Winnipeg, Canada, and the The Hollywood Improv Lab in Hollywood, Calif., according to her Web site, www.mrshughes.com.

Cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Anne Cahill from Champlain Valley Cardiotoracic Surgeons will also highlight the night with her presentation of “Your Heart, Your Life.”

Plattsburgh’s own troupe of breast cancer survivors, The Boobie Sisters, will also perform for both show times. During the 7:30 p.m. show, the Boobie Prize winner will be presented to a person or group that has made a serious impact in the fight against breast cancer in the community.

“We bring in the speakers, coordinate the evening and the proceeds we get basically go back to the foundation to pay for the

speakers the following year,” explained Geddes. “It’s not meant to be a fundraiser; it’s more to bring women of the North Country together.”

This year ’s Girls Night Out will also feature WPTZ News Channel 5 personality Stephanie Gorin as the master of ceremonies.

Along with the featured presentations, local restaurants will be supporting the event by offering a 10 percent discount to Girls Night Out ticket holders the night of the event, explained Geddes.

Tickets may be purchased for $15 each at various locations including the CVPH Medical Center front desk and the Angell College Center at SUNY Plattsburgh. For more information, visit www.cvph.org or call the Foundation of CVPH at 562-7168.

“It’s really just a night to get together with your girlfriends,” added Geddes.

“People that attend year after year come back.”

CCC gets first crack at state-of-the-art wind turbine trainer

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Clinton Community College is advancing its role as a leader in wind energy and turbine technology education.

The college is now in possession of the first and currently only wind simulator training unit for classroom training anywhere in the nation. The new piece of equipment, called the “Turbine Nacelle Troubleshooting Learning System,” or “Nacelle,” was installed in time for the 2010 fall semester but officially unveiled during a press conference at the college Oct. 4.

College president John E. Jablonski said the procurement of the training simulator, designed by Amatrol of Jeffersonville, Ind., was “a giant leap forward” for the college’s wind energy and turbine technology program. “[The training simulator] is the first of its kind anywhere,” said Jablonski. “Not the first of its kind in New York State, not the first of its kind at a community college — but the announcement we’re making today is the simulator that we have and are using with our students now is literally the first one anywhere.”

Biggest Loser contestants weigh in

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Forty people are now on their way to changing their lives for the better.

The North Country’s Biggest Loser contestants have been weighed in, and have now begun the six-month journey towards losing weight and living healthier lives.

“We gave out safely hundreds of applications,” said Plattsburgh’s superintendent of recreation Steve Peters. “But, the application is long and a bit arduous and you need to visit the doctor and that narrowed the field based on motivation.”

The new contestants first met Sept. 25, following the Plattsburgh Start! Heart Walk.

“We have … a wonderful cross section of the North Country,” Peters said. “We’re representing white collar, blue collar, men, women. People who have gone through life and been successful, but still have these challenges. People who are just in the beginning phases of their careers and still have these challenges.”

“We picked a lot of great people,” he added.

“It should be a very dynamic group and we should see some interesting results.”

The group’s youngest contestant is teenager Taylor Larsen from Peru, who applied for the Biggest Loser with encouragement from her parents.

“I was really hesitant for awhile,” she said.

“The last week I decided to hand in my appli-

cation just because I thought it would be cool to do. And, I don’t regret it. It was a good choice.”

Although Larsen has always been aware of how much she weighs, she never considered doing something about it. Now, she’s hoping to lose about 100 pounds and try out for softball in the spring at Peru Central School.

Prior to the first workout, which was held Oct. 4, Larsen admitted she was a little hesitant about what the day would hold.

“I don’t know what to expect,” she said. “I see it on TV and they’re all hardcore the first few weeks and it just gets worse.”

For other young people, Larsen advises they approach weight loss head on and not to wait until health problems begin setting in.

“I want to do it before I get into any health risks,” she said.

The group’s contestant with the most to lose is 33-year-old Bill Roberts, who said he hopes to lose more than 200 pounds, although he will let his body decide what he can handle.

Roberts is facing his second major attempt at weight loss. He first lost 80 pounds through the Weight Watchers program, but after severely breaking his arm, he had to take a break and the weight came back on.

“I want to get back on track as far as my weight loss,” he said. “The second main reason [for joining the Biggest Loser] has to do with my nephew. He’s in junior high now and I see him going down the same path I did at

The first day coming here, I felt ‘Wow, okay, I don’t feel embarrassed about having to stand up in front of 40 people and say this is why I’m here and this is why I think I’m here.’”

that age with weight and the lack of activity and improper eating habits.”

As far as the first workout, Roberts said he was “excited.”

“I have been in the gym setting before, but in this setting here, I have people who are in the same situation I am,” explained Roberts. “I think we can have fun, I think we can push each other, and I’m looking forward to the relationships we’re going to form here in this group.”

For other people looking to lose weight, Roberts said the first step has to be taken by themselves.

“They can’t be pushed into it,” he said. “[It’s] something they have to want to do deep down, and until they decide they want to do this for themselves, they’re not going to have success.”

The new group of contestants also brought in a mother-daughter duo who had conflicting thoughts about the first official workout.

“I’m pumped,” said 20-year-old Kaitlyn Hildwein, while her mother, Lisa Nelson, said, “I’m terrified.”

Hildwein explained, “I’m sick of being overweight and my mom is, too, so we’re doing this together.”

Hildwein and Nelson tried losing weight together in the past through the Weight Watchers program, but didn’t care for it.

“I was younger and I think I was more selfconscious about my appearance,” said Hild-

Soup in season at the Great Adirondack Soup Company

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Every day the temperature seems to be dropping and more and more leaves are falling off the trees. Fall is definitely here.

What better to combat the frigid temps than a nice hearty soup? The Great Adirondack Soup Company has what you need.

Owner Chris Dominianni said after working for a chef for nearly 15 years, he decided he wanted to open an eatery.

“I just kind of figured, ‘What’s most conducive to a place that’s cold nine months out of the year?’” he explained.

Now, seven years later, the Oak Street restaurant has served more than 200 different soups.

“A lot of them are variations on each other,” Dominianni explained.

“There’s a couple basic cream soups that I can make about 12 to 15 different versions of that. Anything that’s vegetarian can be turned into a meat-based soup basically.”

Dominianni explained many of the types of soup also depend on the season.

“We did a late harvest vegetable soup which had rutabaga, butternut squash

and kale,” he said. “Nine months out of the year it’s soup season.”

Now, that it is getting colder outside, Dominianni said he adds a lot more “guts” to the soups.

“I can be a little adventurous,” he said. “I can really make them a lot more heartier. I tend to make a lot more, too.

Today, we made over nine gallons of soup and it’s pretty much all gone.”

Three different soups are offered each day, with one being a vegetarian option. Monday’s featured soup is always Nonni’s Minestrone, with chicken, sausage and penne; Tuesday is Creamy Chicken Supreme with broccoli and rotini; Wednesday is Cheeseburger Macaroni with cheddar, tomato and petite fries; Thursday is Roast Turkey, with sweet potato, lentils and couscous; and Friday is “Goldfish” Chowder with sweet corn, shrimp and Old Bay. The restaurant also offers sandwiches and salads to accompany the soup.

“The idea was to keep the menu simple,” said Dominianni. “So, basically we have eight sandwiches, four salads and three soups.”

The Great Adirondack Soup Company is open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Laura and Chris Dominianni of the Great Adirondack Soup Kitchen look over one of the restaurant’s soups, Portuguesestyle chicken.

Chris Dukes coming to town jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Chris Dukes loves music.

The Albany-area native has been writing and performing from an early age, drawn to anything containing melody and harmony.

“My approach to songwriting and playing in general grew through the influence of so many artists from so many genres,” said Dukes. “I love music in all of its forms.”

Dukes, who is also one of the founding members of the Albany-based cover band Moxie, started performing with his own self-titled band last year, focusing on a blend of rock, pop and country music.

“Essentially it’s acoustic-driven rock with good vocals, a catchy chorus and a story you can relate to,” explained Dukes.

Though only formed in the last year, the band — which includes Dave Teta on drums, Melli Rose on vocals and percussion, Jeff Garrison on lead guitar and Chad Balzer on bass guitar — plays a lot of music that was written

by Dukes much earlier, he said.

“It took some time to find the right people that fit musically and personally,” said Dukes.

“And, I’m happy to say that I love that I get to play with this group of people.”

Dukes and his band have performed regularly in clubs and theaters across the Northeast, but haven’t performed together in Plattsburgh — until now. The band will play Olive’s Ridley’s next week, which is a familiar venue for

Dukes when he plays with Moxie, but new to his own band.

“This is the first trip I have been able to bring my original band up for,” said Dukes, whose first performance in Plattsburgh was with Moxie at the Naked Turtle in 2007. “I’m excited to be bringing the show to Northern New York now. I like Plattsburgh.”

Over the years, Dukes said he’s had the pleasure of playing alongside a very talented cast of musicians and performed for various projects and commercials for companies like General Electric, Kodak, F.Y.E., and The Home Depot. However, one of Dukes’ favorite things about performing has been watching audiences react to his music.

“I love it when people sing along,” he said.

“It’s one of the greatest feelings I have encountered in my life to look out at the crowd and realize that I’m singing my songs, but I’m not singing alone.”

“I’m not sure I can tell you why people are attracted to the music,” he added, “but I can say that it is my hope that they are interested because they can relate to the topics, feel comfortable singing along, and be able to apply the songs to their own life or situations.”

Dukes and his band are now touring, promoting “Greater Than Me,” Dukes’ first album released under Always Records Inc. in October 2009. While they play across the region, Dukes said he is continuing to work on new songs.

“I have big plans for the next album so I’m excited to get that under way in the near future,” said Dukes.

Fire Safety, Part 2 Volunteer fire departments are not free; each year residents can see exactly what the cost is to run their volunteer fire department. In contrast, Plattsburgh’s costs are buried under the budget line “Public Safety” which includes the police department. Income from ambulance fees gets included under general income, so those offsets are also hidden. Any fire inspection fees now go to the Building Department.

A lot of misinformation is passed around about the fire department. Since 2000, the men have been paying a larger share of their health insurance than many other city departments. Check it out for yourself, and if you can’t find the figures in our proposed budget, ask your councilman for the specifics. This city belongs to all of us, and we all deserve to know what the costs really are.
