The Peru Town Council addressed an issue during its meeting Monday night of recent agricultural burning by a local farm. The burnings have spread ash and smoldering leaves over the area for the past two weeks and have resulted in numerous complaints from residents, according to Town Supervisor Peter Glushko.

The burning of brush and other organic matter is normal this time of year, said

Polar Plunge returning to Plattsburgh City Beach

Event to once again raise money for Special Olympics

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

Participants in last year’s “Freezin’ for a Reason Polar Plunge” run from the water at Plattsburgh City Beach. Last year’s plunge raised more than $23,000 and saw more than 225 people plunge into the chilly waters of Lake Champlain.

PLATTSBURGH — Though Plattsburgh City Beach is known for being heavily-populated in the summer, there’s now at least one day a year when people are taking a plunge in less than warmer temperatures. And, this year, that day is Saturday, Nov. 12.

Kaila Horton, director of development for Special Olympics New York, was in town Wednesday to announce the second annual “Freezin’ for a Reason Polar Plunge” will hit Plattsburgh City Beach in two weeks, building on the excitement caused with last year ’s event.

“We were astonished with the turnout last year,” said Horton. “We had a lot of people sign up on-line before but we had a lot sign

up the day of the plunge.”

The polar plunge will return as a fundraiser for Special Olympics New York, which hosts an annual state competition for those with intellectual disabilities. Last year ’s plunge raised more than $23,000 and saw more than 225 people plunge into the chilly waters of Lake Champlain.

“Last year, we didn’t know what to expect,” said Horton.

“We thought we’d shoot for $15,000 and we were very surprised we not only hit it, but we went over it.”

New to this year ’s event will be the “Chicken Coop VIP Area,” which will provide an alternative to taking a dip in potentially frigid temperatures that day.

Those who raise money a minimum of $50 will be able to sit in a special polar

Town of Plattsburgh Democrats unveil candidates PLATTSBURGH — The Town of Plattsburgh Democratic Committee has announced its candidates for the November 2011 election.

Running for reelection as Plattsburgh Town Supervisor is Bernard Bassett.

Bassett has served as supervisor for the past six years and chair of the Clinton County Supervisor ’s Association.

The incumbent said he feels it’s most important the town continue the progress begun to secure the town’s economic future.

“As Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor the past six years, I have had the opportunity to listen to the needs of residents and business owners,” said Bassett. “This has been an exciting time. More important, we have begun to see the results that hard work and collaboration can bring. I encourage residents to drive about the town to witness the many projects that are taking place. This is just the beginning. We must keep the progress going.”

Other issues of importance, said Bassett, include maintaining an open government where residents are always welcome to attend meetings and discuss issues with town officials; maintaining a zero town tax and operating town government in the most efficient and responsible way possible; encouraging responsible growth to create a strong tax base and quality jobs that are critical to providing residents of the town and their children with the financially secure community they deserve; and improving infrastructure and working to maintain the town’s position as a leader and innovator.

“I would like the opportunity to continue to work for you as your Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor and to continue to work to secure our town’s economic future,” said Bassett.

Running for town councilman are incumbents Martin Mannix Jr. and Thomas E. Wood Jr., and political newcomer Mike Verville.

The Town of Plattsburgh Democratic Committee’s candidates for the November 2011 election include, from left, town highway superintendent candidate JamesW. Woods, town councilman candidate Mike Verville, town clerk candidate Rickey Collins, town councilman candidate Martin Mannix Jr., town supervisor candidate Bernard Bassett, town councilman candidate Thomas E. Wood Jr., and town justice candidate James D. Joyce. Collins, Mannix, Bassett, and Wood are incumbents.

Mannix has served as a town councilman for 22 years, serving 16 years as deputy supervisor.

“I am committed to keeping our general town tax rate at zero,” said Mannix. “Budgeting is, in my opinion, a 12-month process. We have an attitude among our town department heads wherein they propose common sense budgets and they know their town board will work hard to give them the people and equipment they need to do their jobs. Everyone is involved in the process. That cooperative spirit doesn’t happen by accident.”

Mannix said one of his major objectives over the next four years will be to build a stronger workforce within the town.

“We have done a good job of attract-

ing retail enterprises and we will continue that; but we need to focus more on attracting quality manufacturing and service sector employers. That will produce quality jobs,” said Mannix.

Wood has been a candidate for office five times and won a race for a four-year term as a town councilperson in 2003 and was re-elected in 2007.

Wood said the town faces many opportunities and challenges which “will test our ability to cooperate and innovate as a community.”

“I will continually strive to make good use of our opportunities for responsible growth, promote higher wage jobs, upgrade our infrastructure, seek grants and shared services to keep costs down and be open and responsive to the needs and desires of

the residents of our town,” said Wood.

“We have made significant progress over the last four years in town policies, finances, land use, job creation and a long range vision for our future.”

Verville, president of Verville Enterprises — a real property, rental property and development corporation — said he understands the issues facing the region and will make “sound business decisions” if elected.

“The issues in the town are the same as county, state and the nation face, delivering services without spiraling taxes or the mountain of large deficits,” said Verville. “The key to controlling taxes is responsible management, promotion of the town and to stimulate economic growth. The town is a multi-million dollar a year

business, the taxpayers are the stock holders, the dividends are quality services and stable taxes.”

Town Highway Superintendent candidate James W. Woods is currently the Deputy Highway Superintendent. Woods states he wants “to complete projects that had to be postponed because of unforeseen weather disasters seen over the past year.

“One challenge of the department will be maintaining and updating equipment all the while staying within the budget,” said Woods. “I look forward to working for all the residents of the town and maintain the integrity of the department.

Town Clerk Rickey Collins is seeking reelection, carrying with him three and a half years experience in the position.

“I earn a living based on how I deliver customer service in a professional and friendly manner,” said Collins.

“My organizational and communication skills are excellent and my energy is boundless ... I will continue to use my skills and knowledge to provide the residents with the kind of service they need and deserve,” said Collins.

James D. Joyce is throwing his hat in the ring for town justice. Joyce said he is “a strong believer in doing your civic duty.”

“I have been searching for a way to use my talents and assets to serve the community. After extensive research, I believe that this position is a perfect position for me because of my experience, education and personality,” said Joyce. “I have all the qualities that are required to be an excellent justice. I can be fair, firm, and consistant in making decisions. I am dedicated and dependable. I am honest and committed. I have the experience making difficult decisions.”

Joyce said he brings to the office “a fresh approach and renewed dedication.”

“As the town justice, I will work as hard as possible for you the taxpayer and the town of Plattsburgh.”

‘Taste of the North Country’ returns to Field House Nov. 9

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Taste of the North Country is only two weeks away.

The North Country Chamber of Commerce’s annual event — which centers around displays and samples from local restaurants and vendors — will return to the Plattsburgh State Field House on Rugar Street Wednesday, Nov. 9.

Jody A. Parks, one of the organizers of the event, said Taste of the North Country is something more and more people attend each year.

“There’s definitely something for everybody at Taste of the North Country,” said Parks. “We’ve got many restaurants and vendors returning from last year and even some new ones.”

New vendors this year include Amazing Grace Vineyards in Chazy and Hid-In Pines Vineyards in Morrisonville, as well as Batters Up Bake Shop in Plattsburgh.

“We’ve also got Parker Family

Maple Farm and Uno Chicago Grill,” said Parks, adding others have recently been added to the list.

Other participating businesses this year include American Legion Post 20, Anthony’s Restaurant & Bistro, Butcher Block, Conroy’s Organics, Dame’s Discount Liquor and Wine Specialty Shop, DeLish by Irises, The Ground Round, Legends, Liquor & Wine Warehouse, McDonald’s, My Cup Tea Café & Tea Room, Ninety Nine Restaurant, Perkin’s Restaurant, Sam’s Club, Samuel D’s, and Walmart Supercenter.

The event will also include an auction with many modest items and several more “big-ticket” items, including a lamp from Schonbek Worldwide Lighting’s and a houseboat rental.

“We’ve never had that before,” said Parks.

“We have everything from Adirondack chairs to gift certificates to clothing — everything you can imagine,” she continued. “We even have overnight stays in hotels, golf packages and gift baskets from all over the place.”

Taste of the North Country is not

only a fun event, said Parks, it’s one of the chamber ’s most successful fundraisers. Money raised from Taste of the North Country helps the chamber of commerce with its continued efforts of promoting and marketing the region, said Parks, which is another reason to attend the event.

“It’s a great opportunity to support the chamber and our local businesses and have a wonderful evening at the same time,” said Parks.

Taste of the North Country will begin Nov. 9 with an auction preview at 5 p.m., followed by a silent auction and tasting from 5:30-7 p.m. The main auction will be held from 7-7:30 p.m.

Admission for the event is $18, with tickets available at the door. Advance tickets are also on sale at the chamber of commerce for $12 prior to Wednesday, Nov. 2.

For more information about Taste of the North Country or to purchase tickets, contact the chamber of commerce at 563-1000 or visit their website at www.northcountrychamber.com.

Becky M anor, with the Nor th Country Chamber of C ommerce, poses with items that will be up for auction at the chamber’s annual Taste of the North Country event slated for Wednesday, Nov. 9. The event will once again be held at the Plattsbur gh State F ield House on Rugar Street.

Autism Alliance of Northeastern New York holds first event FLAME performs for Plattsburgh community, inspires families

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — FLAME entertained more than 300 audience members in a special performance at the Stafford Middle School on Oct. 22.

The event was sponsored by the newly-formed Autism Alliance of Northeastern New York, a group that has branched from the annual

Autism Awareness Walk.

“We wanted to still work alongside the autism walk but we also saw this new group as a way to make a broader impact on the community and help those affected by autism,” said Autism Alliance board member Melissa Provost.

The Autism Alliance is on a mission to empower individuals and families touched by autism spectrum

disorders through support and education. Though the alliance is still a few months away from becoming an official nonprofit organization, Autism Alliance president Lisa Brisco said the FLAME performance was a preview to the kind of events the group hopes hold in the future.

Brisco said it is “sometimes hard for someone with an autistic family member to

plan a family outing to places like a fair, or Parc Safari without worrying their family may be judged.”

Events like the FLAME concert are an inspiration to the those affected by autism, she said, allowing families to have a safe and comfortable place to enjoy themselves.

“It’s a natural occurrence for families to go out an do activities together,” Brisco said. “When you have a child

with a developmental disability it can be more challenging. It’s so important that we have events like this so people don’t feel so isolated, they can connect with each other and share their experiences.”

Denton Publications Editorial

Publisher’s Viewpoint

The time for action is now Local papers are here to stay O O

ver the last week, there have been two informative presentations made in the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School auditorium.

The first dealt with the economic future of the North Country and was run by the North Country Economic Regional Development Council (NCEDC). The second was a presentation on the future of school districts by Alan Pole, who started his education career as a teacher at Chazy Central Rural School and has been a consultant on several studies in shared services or the merger of districts.

In both cases, the message was similar, as both sides said it’s time to get the ball rolling to meet the needs of the taxpayers and the community at large. Whether it means developing a comprehensive plan that can be used as a guideline to work toward economic growth in the Adirondacks, bringing school boards together to open the dialogue into sharing services, or merging school districts, the time for action is now.

Yes, now is the time to draft a plan to promote the region economically as well as consolidate services between school districts that continue to see a drop in enrollment and state aid.

On the economic side, we hope that people had a chance to get to the community forum meetings held around the region over the past couple of months. Each meeting brought ideas to the council that have been used in drafting a plan that needs to be submitted to the state by Nov. 14.

Once the plans from the 10 regions are submitted, they will compete for $200 million in funding from the state for projects to help bolster the regions’ economies.

While NCEDC co-chair Garry Douglas said he was more concerned with the “stronger bond for collaboration in this seven-county region” and that “too much is made of the figure,” we encourage council members to make sure they present as solid a plan as they can to the state and focus on securing as much money as they can. In the near future, collaboration is not going to pay the bills that communities face.

As for the discussion on school districts, the fact is the merger of school districts is something that needs to be seriously considered. The Crown Point and Ticonderoga districts are studying it. Others are taking a hard look at it.

The discussion at the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School was presented jointly by

ELCS, Keene, Westport and Willsboro central schools. At more than one of the schools, sports are starting to disappear as the districts are unable to field varsity baseball, cheerleading and basketball as well as several modified or junior varsity teams. Due to the rising costs and decrease in funding, schools are balking at the former unified swimming and baseball teams that have been part of the landscape over the past years.

Classes have been trimmed, with schools eliminating a second foreign language class or other elective classes that help students be more prepared for the next chapter in life.

Only one of the four schools at the meeting said that they have a business program. In all, these students are no longer gaining advantages from being in a small school; they are losing opportunities to grow, participate and progress.

Combined, these four school districts have seen almost one-fifth of their enrollment evaporate over the last decade, with studies suggesting that this trend will continue.

A combination of school districts like the Elizabethtown-Lewis-Keene or WestportWillsboro Central Schools will save money, give students more classes and opportunities and keep extracurricular activities and sporting programs alive.

Success stories, like the North Warren Central School District, exist and should be used as a model for how such a merger could be beneficial elsewhere.

These decisions will not be easy. There is nothing that stirs more passion or sparks more controversy in a community than suggesting school closures.

But the handwriting is on the wall. The statistics don’t lie. Enrollment and state aid are going to continue to decline, forcing more of a taxing burden on less people — and even more year-round residents out of the region.

It is time we make some difficult decisions on our own, in the interest of what’s best for our children — before they are made for us by those with no vested interest at all.

Community’s help needed The St. John Feral Cat Fund has seen first-hand thousands of homeless cats suffer over the years due to animal cruelty and neglect.

Our organization has rescued more than 268 animals this year and spayed/neutered 100-plus homeless cats. Even though we are not a shelter and do not have a facility to house animals, with help from Petsmart and foster homes, we have successfully found homes for more than 900 cats since 2002.

We have had a very challenging year and have helped with many emergency rescues: Bombay Animal Cruelty, 22 cats; Mooers Rescue, Lakeside Flood Rescue, 78 animals; City Police seizure of 48 cats; and Quarry Road abandoned cats.

We have several areas that still need help and are in need of volunteers, colony caregivers, foster homes as well as food and litter to help us continue this vital work, saving lives, one cat at a time through trap-neuter-return.

There is an overpopulation of homeless cats in this area, and it needs to be addressed by our public officials. Ignoring it will not make it go away.

We depend 100 percent on public donations to continue to provide ongoing care for felines and emergency rescues.

Monetary donations are tax-deductible and can be sent to: St. John Feral Cat Fund, Inc., P.O. Box 2884, Plattsburgh, N.Y. 12901.

To find out more about our organization, go to our website http://members.petfinder.com/~NY483/index.html.

We would like to thank all of the volunteers who took time

out of their summer to help us provide care for so many animals that were in need and all feral friends who support our cause.

I’ve lived in this area all my life, and I’ve seen the people of Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties demonstrate awesome character in difficult times.

We’ve banded together during floods and ice storms, when catastrophic events happened, and when businesses closed their doors and people lost their jobs. We’ve pulled together to help others when it would have been easier to walk away.

In these tough economic times, we have the opportunity to band together and show others our character. There are hundreds of people in our area who need our assistance, and they depend on the agencies supported by the United Way. The United Way of the Adirondack Region Inc. is in the midst of its annual campaign to raise funds for the benefit of the 39 agencies that provide for the needs of our friends and neighbors. Giving to the United Way is the most efficient and effective way to pool our donations to help the most people because 100 percent of the money you donate stays in this area and helps people you know.

When you’re contacted about donating to the United Way, please pledge generously. The economic times are tough, but this is the time when we can all band together to help others like we’ve done in the past. This is the time for our

character to shine.

Residents of Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties who are not part of a campaign through their employer but still want to participate may send their donation directly to the United Way of the Adirondack Region Inc., 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh N.Y. 12901.

Fresh Air visits a success

This year, 73 New York City children found out once again just how special summer is in Northwestern Vermont. Fresh Air Fund hosts, volunteers and local supporters dedicated their time and efforts to help these inner-city youngsters experience simple summertime pleasures, including afternoons of swimming, fishing at sunset and roasting s’mores over a campfire.

None of this would be possible without Melinda Young, your local Fresh Air Fund volunteer leader, who works throughout the year to make sure host families and children have the opportunity to enjoy memorable summertime experiences together. I invite you to join Melinda Young and the local Fresh Air Fund committee to help spread the word about the wonderful opportunity of hosting next summer.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to over 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877.

For more information on how you can help to continue this wonderful tradition of volunteering, please call Melinda Young at 1-802-893-0336 or visit www.freshair.org.

Think twice about clear-cutting

Having a healthier Halloween

ow the nights are crisp and frosty, it is hard to resist the temptation to go out into the perennial garden and clear-cut all of this year ’s growth down to the ground.

There are several reasons why you may want to resist the urge of cutting back all of the perennial garden.

First of all, if you cut down all your perennials at ground level now, your garden will look pretty darn bare through the winter — just a blank space which will be covered by snow. And, if we don’t get a lot of snow cover, it will be just a blank space of soil and mulch.

If you refrain from clear-cutting the perennial garden in the fall, you’ll have an array of plant skeletons and seed heads to view throughout winter. Although not as showy as the lush greenery and vibrant blossoms of summer, the perennial garden in winter has a subtle beauty not to be missed. And, as winter progresses, these skeletons will be embellished by the crystalline tracery of frost and puffy caps of snow, providing you with an ever-changing seasonal view.

Not only are all those seed heads lovely to look at, but they’re even more attractive when enlivened by over-wintering birds

alloween is just around the corner now, the start of the holiday season and unfortunately for many, the holiday weight gain. Do you have a plan all the candy your kids will be bringing home, or a plan to battle the Halloween candy bowl at the office? How about the quality of the treats you will be giving out? All things to consider that can make a big difference.

Halloween is something that most children are really excited about and really excited about all the “CANDY” they will be getting. Well, how about you make a plan with your children? When they bring home all of their treats, go through it as a family, which you should anyway to inspect for safety purposes. But, ask your children which is their favorite. Allow them to go through and sort out their favorites and throw the rest away. That’s right, why keep it around? Then, put the candy, that together you have decided to keep, away for treats.

As an adult you may be tempted by Halloween candy and other treats lying around at the office and even at home. This is where will power comes in. Ask yourself “Is it really worth it?” “Really?”

which will feed on them, and even shelter in the harbor of the dead foliage. Scores of perennials provide proteinand oil-rich seeds for birds.

Finally, some perennials, such as Russian sage, are actually subshrubs that have woody stem bases with overwintering buds. These perennials will probably be killed by a severe fall pruning. Instead, wait until early spring and scratch the epidermis, or bark, of the stems. If the tissue is white beneath, the stem is alive. If it is dark brown or blackened, and the bark slips easily, it has been winterkilled. Prune these perennials down into live wood.

As always, there are exceptions to the rule. Any diseased perennials should be trimmed down and their foliage destroyed, as should plants that just sort of turn to black slimy mush after a freeze.

So, just when do I clean up the garden?

The answer is during an unseasonably warm early spring day, when I’m about to go crazy from cabin fever!

ork Chop is a 1-yea- old male brindle and white terrier mix who loves to be around people, and gets along well with other dogs. He has a lot of energy and is very sweet. Pork Chop is neutered and up to date on his vaccines.

Sahara is a lovely 1-year-old female black and tan German shepherd mix who arrived as a stray. Sahara thoroughly enjoys being around staff and volunteers alike. She is spayed and up to date on her vaccines.

Remember, it is okay to have a treat once in a while, but at this time of year especially, “once in a while turns” into a lot more often, and all those once in a whiles add up to extra pounds of fat on your body. Not a good thing. So, be honest with yourself. Then, step away from the candy dish.

Now, what are you planning on giving out for Halloween treats? Try to health it up a little by giving out healthier treat options like individuallywrapped packages of pretzels, raisins, yogurt covered raisins, craisins, or Halloween-shaped crackers. I personally usually go for the pretzels. They come packaged in cute orange and black bags decorated for Halloween, and the pretzels are in cute Halloween shapes.

Enjoy your Halloween as an adult and with your kids. Make it more about the experience, less about the candy. Have fun, be safe and have a healthy Halloween.

Film festival planned this Saturday at North Country Co-op jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Illegitimate Son of Mystery Science Theater 3000 — a group which gets together to view and openly mock bad cinema — will mark the 20th anniversary of the group’s founding with — what else — a film festival.

The group was resurrected last year after a five-year hiatus and has since been meeting on a regular basis to view “B” movies at venues like the Plattsburgh Public Library and the North Country Co-op.

Andy MacDougall, one of the ISoMST3K’s original founders, said “Fear in Three Acts” will be a film festival held this Saturday, Oct. 29, to mark the two-decade milestone and the first anniversary of 16 millimeter movies being shown at the North Country Co-op.

“This pre-Halloween event is, above all, tailor-made for the genre completists and basically the fan boy or film geek crowd,” said MacDougall.

The event — which will be held at the North Country Coop, 25 Bridge St. —will boast its feature attraction, “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” a 1973 film starring Kim Darby and Jim Hutton.

“After seeing its forgettable remake at the Cumberland 12 nearly two months ago, I became hooked on the idea of programming the original version to demonstrate how it has stood the test of time after nearly 40 years,” said MacDougall, referring to the contrast of the old film and the 2011 remake starring Guy Pearce, Bailee Madison, and Katie Holmes. “And, we needed something for this Halloween, so the timing was perfect.”

The showing of “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” will be considered the first act of the event, which will start at 7 p.m. The second act will feature short test screenings of works-inprogress by the ISoMST3K group. “[The shorts] are part of an on-going process in test-screen-

ing successive drafts of ISoMST3K works-inprogress whose completed incarnations will be submitted for programming on the film convention/independent film-festival circuit next year,” said MacDougall.

Already, Macdougall said he has received confirmation for entry in “Shock Stock,” a horror film convention in Ontario, Canada. He added he has “high hopes” for Montreal’s FANTASIA 2012 next summer and other venues in North America and potentially beyond.

The third act, said MacDougall, will consist of the viewing of an untitled work which merges two classic films with commentaries and viewpoints which aim to be a thoughtprovoking look about the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The overall idea of this Saturday’s event is to keep film alive in the digital age, said MacDougall, and to keep people talking about what they’re viewing.

Taste of Home Cooking School comes to Crete next Saturday

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Taste of Home Cooking School will return to the Crete Memorial Civic Center Saturday, Nov. 5.

Ed Coats, associate publisher of Denton Publications and New Market Press, who has been organizing Taste of Home locally since first offering it in Burlington, Vt., six years ago, said people in the community are looking forward to the event.

“Tickets are selling extremely well,” said Coats.

“We expect it to be sold out again this year, even with the added seating.”

More than 1,100 were in attendance for the debut of

54722

The event will also feature booths hosted by more than 30 local vendors, featuring cooking utensils, home furnishings, bakeries and representatives from companies like Pampered Chef, Celebrating Home and Mary Kay. The cost of admission is $15, with advance tickets available at Price Chopper in Plattsburgh, Champlain and Lake Placid. Tickets are also available at Wilson’s Appliance Center and Perrywinkle’s Fine Jewelry in Plattsburgh.

Doors will open for the event at 10:30 a.m., with the show to begin at 2 p.m. Attendees get free goodie bags.

Door prizes will be awarded, including a diamond from Perrywinkle’s and new range from Wilson’s Appli-

the cooking school in Plattsburgh last year, said Coats.

“Last year, we had to turn people away at the door and, with the strong sales already this year, I would advise people to get their tickets as soon as possible,” said Coats.

Taste of Home will feature cooking demonstrations from culinary specialist Eric Villegas, who has conducted Taste of Home shows across the country. Villegas earned his bachelor ’s degree from Michigan State University before moving to Paris where he attended LaVarenne Ecole de Cuisine and Academie du Vin. Villegas returned to the States to continue his studies at the New England Culinary Institute.

Burning From page 1 Glushko, and agriculture establishments are exempt from New York State burning regulations. However, this year, instead of burning brush and small twigs, a local farm, Adirondack Farms, is reported to have been burning large amounts of tree stumps from clearing an estimated 120 acres of land.

“Normally, you get your burning over and done with in one day and you dont get a lot of complaints about that,” Glushko said. “The problem is these wet stumps are just burning and burning and there is a lot of them.”

The first complaint came to Code Enforcement Officer Frank Slycord Oct. 11. Since then, at least six complaints have been made.

According to a state Department of Environmental Conservation open fires regulation, exemption for “on-site burning of agricultural wastes” states as long as said waste is grown or generated on at least five acres of land, is used for agriculture and can be fully burned within a 24-hour period, it is permissible to burn.

“We’re getting all kinds of complaints here and we dont have anything to deal with this,” Glushko said. “All we can do is refer them to DEC and [the Adirondack Park

Agency] and tell them to give those people a call, maybe if enough people give [the DEC] a call, even agriculture will have to take a back seat to this and do something other than burning all these stumps.”

The burning has sent smoldering leaves into residents’ yards, ash has stuck to cars, and has irritated residents who suffer from respiratory issues, stated Glushko.

“We can’t regulate agriculture, and we certainly don’t want to discourage agriculture, we just hope there can be a solution,” said Glushko.

DEC regional air pollution control engineer Jim Coutant said the burning of tree stumps is a “gray area” of the exemption.

Historian’s office to hold open house

Disaster preparedness event this Saturday

Plattsburgh Morrisonville

Peru

PERU — The Peru Town Historian’s Office will hold an open house Saturday, Nov. 12, at Peru Town Hall, 3036 Main St., from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Cider and doughnuts will be provided.

For more information, call 643-2745, ext. 8.

PLATTSBURGH — An emergency preparedness seminar will be held at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 22 Dennis Ave., this Saturday, Oct. 29, from 12 to 4 p.m.

The event will feature several emergency officials and organizations who will have information on what to do in the event of an emergency like the Ice Storm of 1998 and the most recent flooding seen by the region earlier this year.

This Saturday’s event is being organized by Richard Healy of Peru. Healy is the author of “How to Survive the Next Katrina: A Family Guide to Emergency Preparedness.” The event is free and open to the public.

For more information, contact Healy at 643-9415.

“We don’t want things smoldering for days and we prefer not to have people burn stumps because it is unlikely to completely burn within 24 hours due to the amount of moisture stumps hold,” said Coutant.

Because of the agricultural exemption, the town is not permitted to take any action against cases such as this. Coutant said the best way to handle open burning complaints is to contact the DEC dispatch line at 8971326.

(Editor’s Note: Owners of Adirondack Farms could not be reached by the time this publication went to print.)

WEST CHAZY — Providing a safe environment in which children can trick-or-treat is the goal of one organization in the hamlet of West Chazy.

The West Chazy Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary will host their inaugural “Trunk or Treat” at the fire department on State Route 22

Monday, Oct. 31.

The idea for the event, said auxiliary member Angela Goodspeed, came from a friend of the auxiliary, who hosted a similar event in Alburgh, Vt. “We figured it would be a fun, safe way for kids to be able to trick or treat and not worry about crossing the road,” said Goodspeed.

The event will consist of more than a dozen cars

lined up in the fire department parking lot from which children will be able to go “trunk to trunk” to get their Halloween candy, explained Goodspeed.

“We’re hoping for a good turnout,” said Goodspeed. “We hope to see lots of kids and their parents.”

Trunk or Treat will be offered from 5 to 6:30 p.m., with those wishing to host their own vehicle in the event encouraged to show

up between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. to register and decorate. The parking lot will be closed to traffic after 5 p.m.

For more information about participating in Trunk or Treat, contact Goodspeed at 645-2105 or Kelly Morrison at 1-802598-5222.

“We want to make this a tradition that will grow more and more every year,” said Goodspeed.

The home bout: Everything has led to this moment (Editor’s Note: The following is the fourth and final column in a series written by members of the North Country Lumber Jills r oller derby team.

Erin McGill, who goes by her derby name of “Teachy McKill,” shares with readers her experience of joining r oller derby. The team is gearing up for its first home bout Saturday , Oct. 29, at the City of Plattsburgh Recreation Center against the Twin City Riot, a team from Barre, Vt.) eachy McKill here, teacher by day and derby killer by night, getting ready to school you on one of my favorite topics — roller derby! There’s much excitement and anticipation surrounding the North Country Lumber Jills’ upcoming bout against Twin City Riot from Barre, Vt. My team is feverishly practicing, training, and planning our first home bout, “Night of the Rolling Dead.”

To give you some background, the North Country Lumber Jills were formed over a year ago and have been making steady progress ever since. My friends and I were inspired by the Green Mountain Derby Dames from Burlington, Vt. After watching one of their bouts, we fell in love with the sport, female athleticism, and roller derby culture. As soon as we left the bout, we knew Plattsburgh needed a roller derby team. It has taken a massive amount of dedication, planning, and teamwork to build our team from scratch. We started with a handful of women sitting around a table at the Koffee Kat, and now we have a room full of women and men in the upstairs meeting space of the North Country CoOp. Currently, our team consists of 25 women skaters and two men who referee. It has been amazing to be a part of this team from the beginning and see how much we’ve flourished.

Our team has an array of members coming from all walks of life and varying athletic backgrounds. This team has become like a second family to all of us and I have the utmost respect for all of our members. Derby is so much more than putting some quad skates on your feet and rolling around a track; we are all very passionate about the sport, our friendships, and the team we’ve created together. Everyone on our team wants to be successful, have fun and live a healthier life.

If you ask anyone who knows me — friends, family, co-workers, past teachers and coaches — they will all tell you I’ve always

marched to the tune of a different drummer.

I take pride in my uniqueness and feel derby has been a perfect extension of how I have always lived my life — a little out of the ordinary!

As I gear up to play roller derby and take on my alternate personality I giggle to think about the two very different roles I have. During the day, I teach first grade and love my profession; I get to be kind and gentle. Then, in the evening, I go and play roller derby, where I’m expected to hit people hard and be loud! The two parallel each other in some ways, because both let me be in a position where I can have fun, be silly, and work collaboratively. My clothing and accessories are always bold and full of life in school and on the track, whether I’m wearing a glow-in-thedark solar system shirt to school when I’m teaching about outer space or I’m putting on my bright colored knee-high socks with funky patterns for derby practice! Derby has become so ingrained in my life that it’s hard to imagine life without it. I often joke about how before doing derby my Friday nights

consisted of me sitting on my couch, eating take-out, correcting papers. Now, my Friday nights consist of me practicing roller derby skills and hits with a group of amazing women! In many ways, roller derby has helped me grow into a more positive, stronger, and healthier woman and I will be forever grateful to have been a part of such

an amazing team.

Our team has started to thrive because we all work together to create a positive and supportive environment. Of course, we couldn’t have done it without the help of our amazing community. Numerous businesses and community members have helped our team in the form of sponsorships, donations, purchasing ad space in our bout programs, hosting an event, and renting us a practice space. Our community has showed our team so much respect and an astounding amount of support.

As part of our mission statement, we strive to give back to our community and promote healthy lifestyles. We have been involved with multiple organizations to help raise money and promote awareness for various causes. We are proud to be part of the Plattsburgh community and feel honored to represent this area and its people.

This past summer, we traveled to different parts of New York and Vermont to play against other “up and coming” roller derby teams. Although traveling and playing roller derby is always fun, we are thrilled to have a home bout our local fans and supporters can come watch. Come check us out this Saturday, Oct. 29 at 6 p.m. in the City Recreation Gym. Tickets are available on-line at www.plattsburghroller.com. Presale ticket prices are $10 for ages 13 and older, $5 for 7 to 12-year-olds, and free for kids 6 and younger. Come ready for some derby action and we’ll make sure to give you the best roller derby experience in the North Country!

“It’s going to be for folks who don’t necessarily want to go in the water but still want to raise money and receive an incentive,” said Horton. “We wanted to provide an option for them.”

The Chicken Coop is something polar plunge organizers in Rochester have tried before, said Horton, and is something that will be tried out this year in Lake George, Massena and Plattsburgh.

FLAME From page 4 Down syndrome, and blindness. The group is based out of Lexington Center, the Fulton County Chapter of the New York State Association of Regional Councils, Inc. Brisco said audience members were thrilled to be part of the event, especially one 11-year-old girl who was very excited to meet another person that shares her disability.

“She was thrilled; she is blind and has rarely got to meet another blind person,” Brisco said, adding it was especially exciting for audience members or family members who shared

disabilities with band members to see how much the group members have accomplished.

The band members, their accomplishments and talent inspire people and changes the way the general public view people with disabilities, she added.

According to Brisco, the idea to host FLAME in Plattsburgh came from a board member that had brought her daughter to a FLAME performance in Saranac Lake. She said it was so inspiring, for a parent of a child with Down syndrome to see that it is possible for a child living with developmental issues, like autism, to be able to achieve greatness and to

“We worked this year to make the pre-plunge party a little bigger thanks to Plattsburgh Distributing and Olive Ridley’s,” said Horton. “We’re going to have a raffle and live auction. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

The Nov. 11 event will also feature a pre-plunge check-in for registered “plungers,” added Horton.

Through the two combined events, Horton said she’d like to exceed the amount of money raised for Special Olympics last year, adding she’s “cautiously optimistic” such a goal is possible.

“You never know with the way the economy is, but I think we can do it,” said Horton. “Last year, 11 plunges raised nearly a million dollars. I think it’s because it’s just one of those events where people have fun doing it. It’s easier to raise money when it’s a fun event.”

City Mayor Donald M. Kasprzak, who participated in last live their dreams.

One of the Alliance’s missions is to bring more autism education and early autism screening to the residents in Plattsburgh.

“We want to educate the community here, not at events held miles away but to have quarterly educational and family fun activities here,” Brisco said.

Those wishing to get involved with the Autism Alliance can go to the Autism Walk’s Facebook page by searching for “Autism Awareness Walk - Plattsburgh, NY” or contact Autism Alliance board member Laura Carmichael at 570-7225.
