PLATTSBURGH — Dressed as a black cat, twoyear-old Sophie Bechard sat on a toy tractor and examined her plastic pumpkin overflowing with candy.

“This was her first time trick or treating and safety was a big issue,” said her mother, Melissa.

So she took her daughter to Plattsburgh Housing Outlet’s 13th annual Halloween Festival.

Popular Taste of Home Cooking School this weekend stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Cooking at home brings family and friends together.

The famed Taste of Home Cooking School has brought millions together over the past 20 years.

This weekend, the North Country will gather for cooking demonstrations, to learn seasonal recipes and more at the Taste of Home Cooking School event in Plattsburgh.

“It is a great show that everyone in the area looks forward to, with people coming from as far away as Albany to attend the show,” said Ed Coats, associate publisher of Denton Publications and an organizer of the event.

The doors at the Crete Civic Center open at 11 a.m. for the Nov. 3 event, while the show starts at 2 p.m. The event will feature more than 45 vendors, goodie bags for all and more than 50 door prizes.

“The show is always a sell out,” Coats said.

“Get your tickets at Price Chopper and Wilson Appliances.”

Nearly 5 million people have attended the Taste of Home Cooking School over the past 20 years.

Roughly 300,000 people attend Taste of Home Cooking School events yearly, with the Plattsburgh cooking demonstration led by Chef Michael Barna.

“I love being on stage, entertaining, and sharing my love of cooking,” Barna said. “It’s all about bringing the family back to the table.”

Barna’s own love of family food can be traced back to his grandmother ’s Hungarian cooking.

He has been cooking since he was 13 and earned his Associate of Occupational Studies Degree from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. Barna has facilitated private and online cooking classes, appeared in local and national television commercials, and been featured in national

Mooers library issue creates controversy among residents of the community

By Stephen Bartlett

Stephen@denpubs.com MOOERS — The decision to construct a new library has infuriated many in Mooers.

They want the current building renovated and maintained and do not want money spent building a new one.

But town officials say that is not an option, and while they do not yet have all the money needed to construct the new library, the town has broken ground on the new location, near the town offices and fire house.

“This is a pretty big controversy,” said Jeff Menard. “At least 75 percent of people don’t want it, and the board refuses to listen to anyone.

“They started digging.”

New York State informed Mooers that its current library, located in a historic building on Route 11, was not handicap accessible, something the town had to rectify.

“I don’t see why they don’t just make the old one handicap ac-

cessible,” Menard said.

Town Supervisor Cory Ross said the town was setting money aside to purchase a two-floor lift for the building or only one floor would be able to be used, according to the state. But the requirements changed on the lift, causing the price to jump from $24,000 to $50,000. A ramp alone wouldn’t meet the requirements, which included the lift, doorway changes and expanding the restroom, all of which Ross said would be next to impossible in the small building that currently houses the library.

At a board meeting, at least one resident suggested officials abandon renovating the currently library and instead construct a new building.

“The Town Board and I looked at the possibility of building a new building and if we take the money saved already and sold the current building, maybe we would have enough money for a new one,” Ross said. “That seems the better route to go, and we voted to move forward on it and that is what we are doing at this point.”

Ross recognized there was opposition to the plan and said a committee was formed to find the best location for the new library.

Ultimately, they chose a spot behind the town offices and fire de-

partment.

“We were careful not to put it any place that would make it inconvenient for the fire department’s Labor Day celebration,” Ross said. “We had some grant money and had to move forward and at this point we have broken ground.”

Mooers received a $11,000 grant to help pay for a handicap ramp.

Ross said the new facility will be easier to heat, save money on snow removal and will not cost taxpayers.

“We had a petition with 250 names on it of people saying we don’t need a new library,” said Menard, a member of the Mooers Fire Department. “If they don’t stop this we are not going to do our Labor Day Celebration.”

That event has raised much money over the years and covered the cost of items the department would have to turn to the town for.

Area businessman Jack Dragoon estimated that more like 90 percent of the town is angry about officials building a new library.

“Everyone I talk to, they feel for what the library is used today, just put a ramp up and add on,” he said. “I think they could put their money to better use. Main Street is going downhill.

“They claim it won’t cost taxpayers, but that money must come from taxpayers.”

Dragoon also previously served as Mooers Town Supervisor.

Local libraries receive funding for adult programs The field of creative aging, which focuses on the beneficial and powerful role of the arts in enhancing the quality of life for older adults, is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to positive aging efforts. Creative Aging programs are conducted by professional teaching artists and promote mastery and encourage social engagement– two keys to successful aging.

Jane Bouchard, Director of the Schroon Lake Public Library stated in the application, “In the rural setting, the library is seen not just as a library, but as a community center, a meeting place, a place that is open and free to anyone that wishes to walk through its doors.."

Creative Aging in NY State Libraries will serve up to 1,000 older adults, through instructional arts programs in up to 60 libraries in four demographically and geographically diverse public library systems: Westchester Library System, New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, and Clinton.

Space is limited and registration is filling up quickly, call the library for more information. Call the Dodge Memorial Library at 297-6242 or e-mail rpdml1907@gmail.com.

Viewpoint

Burgh Editorial

Think beyond partisan politics Nov. 6

P

artisan politics are not only confusing and frustrating and apparently infinite, but they seem to defeat the purpose of meaningful change.

And it appears, talking to many people around the North Country, policies and plans and specifics and ideas linked to outcomes matter little when it comes to that never-ending battle of Republican versus Democrat.

Can President Obama turn the economy around, heal the nation and repair the many things the people point out are broken?

Or would Romney be better suited for the job?

It doesn’t appear it really matters and, if that is the case, do outcomes or change really mean anything?

Individual campaign volunteers – Republican and Democrat – reported that while making calls for their respectable candidates, they were met with either, “Thanks for calling and I will definitely vote for -----,” or “I would rather die than vote ----.”

But wait, isn’t it the individuals and his or her ideas that matter?

If Romney were a Democrat would Republicans suddenly despise him and all he stands for?

Would Obama be tossed to the curb with the trash by Democrats if he suddenly transformed into a Republican?

Some might say no, and for some that is most definitely the truth. But for many, or so it seems from conversations, interviews and testimonials of operatives on both sides, the party decides the vote.

If that is the case, then it would seem if Romney were elected and indeed turned the country around for everyone, Democrats would remain miserable.

Likewise, if Obama is granted a second term and succeeds where many say he has failed, Republicans would be angry and unful-

filled.

Then that would mean if Romney wins and fails and the state of affairs in the country deteriorates, Republicans would be thrilled still, because their Republican won.

And Democrats, in the same situation, would be overjoyed too.

Would both sides find ways to blame the other? History definitely indicates this.

But shouldn’t it be more about who is going to get the job done and bring about results that empower the largest amount of Americans possible?

Yes, each party, respectively, has ideals that voters belonging to those parties subscribe to and believe in, and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, ideals are quite admirable.

But blindly accepting or dismissing an individual according to party affiliation seems like it carries, at least a slight possibility of sabotaging what one in fact desires.

Wouldn’t it behoove every voter to remain loyal to ideals but at the same time do some investigation, some real investigation that doesn’t include listening to propaganda, before making a final decision?

Who knows which party can truly cure America’s ailments?

But what seems evident is that while people might assume their party is faithfully representing them, knowledge is power and an uninformed choice at the polls could potentially create obstacles along the path to what we desire.

It’s time to get out and vote

D

uring the last week I had the privilege of sitting in with our Editorial Board as they interviewed candidates for contested seats for the New York State Assembly and U.S. Congress. During their campaigns candidates each travel thousands of miles, attend countless functions, shake far too many hands, kiss who knows how many babies and graciously perform many tasks to prove their sincerity to the folks who will decide their fate. Some have been rebuffed by constituents before but continue their quest to win the seat they seek.

Every one of the candidates we sat down with was articulate, passionate and optimistic about the opportunity ahead of them to serve the people of their district. Each made a compelling argument for their candidacy. Each question presented was quickly answered, leaving me with just one lingering thought.

What happens to these good people who want so badly to achieve the office and then all too often come up short in the eyes of the electorate once they reach their goal? No doubt most folks vote along party lines so each candidate will always have opposition who find fault with their every action. But frequently once in office the opportunity to distinguish themselves from their fellow representatives seems to fall short of the promises made.

It’s a question I may never fully understand and perhaps it is just a part of the function of our democracy that each representative at the end of the day gets carved up by the two party system and all too often finds the deck stacked against them as they meld into government bureaucracy.

At any rate this will be my last column before you go to the polls if you haven’t already voted for the candidates of your choice. As we explained to each of the candidates with whom we recently met, our role is not to endorse nor try to sway voters. Instead our focus is to provide information that allows them to make the choice they believe to be in the best interest of their country, state, county and town. Respecting the power of their individual vote, we believe it’s an abuse of the medium we control to attempt to tip the scales solely based on our beliefs, something I do believe has affected many major news out-

lets.

Here are several things to consider before you stand before the ballot and make your choices.

Dan Alexander 1. Can you trust the Thoughts from candidate to use their Behind the Pressline skills, talents and experiences to make wise choices, follow their convictions and be true to the promises they made on the campaign trail?

2. The campaign process is a competition marathon. Has your choice demonstrated the type of character and personal values that you feel will allow her/him to deal with the stress of the office, stand up against the pressure to cave in to the demands of a strong willed senior representative, political party members or overly influential lobbyists or contributors?

3. Is your decision based on your own research and knowledge of the candidate’s positions, actions and experience or have you been unduly swayed by slick, politically bias advertising that solely painted the other candidate in an unfavorable light, perhaps even misrepresenting their position altogether?

4. Will your candidate be capable of working across the political aisle to seek solutions to the problems that face our government or will she/he be an obstructionists who digs in their heels to anything proposed by the other side?

5. Will your candidate place country, state, county or town first before their own political ambition or their personal gain?

Given the many issues facing our society it is extremely important that the choices we make during this election cycle be ones that cause positive improvement for the benefit of the population as a whole. We must put aside our own personal interest and look at the good of all as we cast the ballot that will set the course of government and the many lives affected by their actions for the next several years. May God bless and assist the men and women we place into these important offices.

Please remember to vote Nov. 6.

It is the age of discontent A

s a journalist, something I’ve noticed increasingly over the past few years is the growing discontent of people, largely since The Great Recession.

The blame for the mess differs, as does proclaimed solutions, but there seems to be an overwhelming sense of loss of control, of helplessness against forces one disagrees with or feels oppressed by.

Personally, it seems to me this has been a long time coming and that, upon close examination, we all really want the same thing, on a very simple level, but the specifics we each turn to consistently divide us.

But even if we all suddenly found ourselves on the same page, it seems that apathy runs as rampant as dissatisfaction and frustration.

Life is busy, we are being pulled in a multitude of directions and stretch ourselves thin, leaving little time to organize our thoughts and ourselves, despite

the fact doing so just might be among the top two or three things we should be doing with ourselves.

Plus, many feel helpless and that it is hopeless.

I recently read a book and then watched the movie, Cloud Atlas, and it contained much of this struggle, a compelling reflection of the times.

At one point, David Mitchell, the author, has a character try to strong arm another against getting involved in a fight he believes in by pointing out that he is “No more than one drop in a limitless ocean,” to which the other character responds, “Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops.”

One might think romantic notions are merely for the movies, but this world could use an infusion of passion and belief.

From the Editor’s Desk is modeled, sometimes immediately, other times over a great span, possibly by impacting one person, who impacts two, who impacts three, etc.

I think maybe if people remembered this, we would see much less apathy and possibly change much quicker than we imagined.

After all, besides money, the

other extremely powerful force that can affect change is people in large numbers.

Plus, “All revolutions are the sheerest fantasy until they happen; then they become historical inevitabilities,” another quote from Mitchell in his novel Cloud Atlas.

That doesn’t necessarily mean some sort of armed or violent or forceful revolution, but perhaps and preferably a revolution of the mind that brings together large groups of people that finally say, “Enough. We are tired of the status quo.”

From what I hear from all sorts of people with different political, religious, etc., beliefs, change is desired, yet there is little real – or large enough - effort to bring any of it about, except voting and hoping for something that never seems to happen, and if it does, not nearly in the way so many people hoped.

Mitchell writes, quite passionately, “If we believe that humanity may transcend tooth and claw,

if we believe diverse races and creeds can share this world as peaceably as the orphans share their candlenut tree, if we believe leaders must be just, violence muzzled, power accountable and the riches of the Earth and its oceans shared equitably, such a world will come to pass.”

I’m not saying that is what we all believe or must subscribe to, but you get the point.

I realize I’ve quoted Mitchell a few times in this column, but I believe his words are inspirational and he is a great thinker.

I’m not the only one, as Time magazine listed him among the 100 most influential people in the world.

Action and belief are powerful, as are people, when they conquer their apathy and believe in themselves and take action to change the world.

Our life coaches, Style and Substance: On personal style Dear style & substance readers: We have decided to mix things up a bit this week – we are going to create a mash-up. A mash-up, in this case, is a combination of different questions we have received about slightly different topics that share a common theme: Personal Style. The answers to What is it?, How do I get it?, and Why do I need it? can all be discovered with a bit of life coaching and a small leap of faith (in yourself).

“Style helps distinguish you. It's a great potential opportunity that people tend to leave by the wayside."

First Lady Michelle Obama recently shared these thoughts with Kate Betts in an interview published in Harper ’s Bazaar. You do not need to be the First Lady of the United States of America to distinguish yourself – personal style is about taking your life seriously and sharing with the world that what you do is important. You are doing great things, and if you aren’t, it is never too late to get moving. Great style is showing up ready to take care of business.

Personal style is about expressing your intelligence as well as your sense of fun. Style is not frivolous, it is an expression of all you are and all you want to become – your best self. Our culture has become very casual even in the workplace. We often see people in all professions looking

wrinkled and ill kempt. Money does not equal style. Clothing that is clean and pressed and fits well does not need to cost a fortune. Style is being mindful and careful about appearance. Style breeds confidence; in yourself and how others view you.

Developing a signature look may take some time and effort. First, think about your favorite color palette. For most people this is instinctual and natural. Next, make the decision to dress your body in the here and now, not the body you plan on having when you lose 10 pounds. This leap of faith takes commitment and emotional stamina – you are taking care of you and that might take some adjusting.

Once you have made that commitment, look around at the people you know as well as magazines and develop an idea guide – keep pictures of clothes, colors, shoes, etc. In Style offers many ideas to help get you started on your look, and it is on the shelf at Plattsburgh Public Library!

In order to ring in the new, you must make room and that means letting go of what no longer serves you. Clean out your closet. Save pieces that have special meaning and start small. Let go of a few pieces at a time; believe that letting go becomes much easier than when you started your personal transformation.

We have been taught to assess character and make judg-

Three vie for two town justice seats in Chazy CHAZY — Incumbents Carolyn M. Meseck-Pratt and Robert G. Dunlop will face challenger Christopher W. Latremore for the right to fill two open town justice seats this election cycle. Both hold fouryear terms.

Robert G. Dunlop Age: 71 Party: Republican Education: Degree in criminal justice Professions: Retired as Station Commander with Plattsburghbased State Police after 25 years of service; active for 3 years with US Army, 20 years with Naval Reserve; Insurance agent with Chauvin Agency, Plattsburgh; and substitute teacher for Jefferson County Schools, Louisville, Kentucky.

Experience: More than 16 years as a Town Justice—8 for Beekmantown and 8 for Chazy; Instructor for the Office of Court Administration; Certified in all courses of instruction for the Office of Town Justice.

Family: Wife, Carol LaBombard Dunlop; son, Robert G. Dunlop; three daughters, Sarah Ryan, Marsha Thomas and Bonnie Dunlop.

1. Why are you running for this position?

I am running because I enjoy serving as a Justice, and feel that I have a lot to offer to the position. I also enjoy being part of the process of trying to get some of our society back on the right track of life.

2. What experience do you bring to the position that will be beneficial to the community?

I believe being already certified for the position and the 16 years of experience is beneficial to the community. It saves them the expense of sending someone to Albany for four weeks of new training, which I already more than have.

3. What is the most pressing need for the town, and how do you feel you can help meet that need?

I believe the most pressing need for the town right now is the tax increase they are looking at, and the way the court is being operated now with the current justices. It actually does not cost the town anything to operate the court, as I have written grants for and secured them for the purchase of most of our equipment. The court now brings back to the town about three times its budget. If the current Justices are re-elected, I am sure this will continue.

Christopher W. Latremore Age: 46 Party: Democrat, Conservative, Independent, Working Family Education: Graduated from Chazy Central Rural School; Degree in applied science from Hudson Valley Community College.

Professions: New York State licensed Insurance Agent for 27 years; Co-owner and operator of Latremore Pine Ridge Organic Poultry Farm; Clinton County Sheriff’s Department.

Experience: Council Person for Chazy for 5 years and has served on various committees including the Chazy Recreation Park Committee for the new playground and the committee to research the

gift by Dr. George W. Clark of his home. He has also been a USA hockey official for 5 years.

With this position, I have taken part in monthly meetings which include budget planning, zoning and planning board issues, and hearing the concerns that citizens of the town bring to my attention, and trying to find a solution to any issues that might arise. I have always been open to any suggestion that town members bring to my attention and feel that I have always made myself available to listen and try to find solutions that work best for everyone.

Family: Wife, Amanda; two sons, Jeremie and Perry; one daughter, Devin and one granddaughter, Sarah.

1. Why are you running for this position?

I am running for the position because I believe in serving my community. I have lived in Chazy all my life and want to give back to the community that has given me so much. I believe that the people of Chazy deserve to have a choice when they go to vote on Nov. 6, and I want them to know that if they honor me with their vote they will be getting a Town Justice that will be diligent, reliable, honest and fair. I believe that every case has two sides and I will be a justice that does not just make a quick decision. I will heavily weigh both sides and use my training and experience to uphold the laws to the fullest. I will always make myself available and welcome any and all input from community members. I have enjoyed meeting many Chazy residents on my door-to door campaign, and greatly appreciate any and all support given to me by all the people I have met, regardless of their political affiliation.

2. What experience do you bring to the position that will be beneficial to the community?

My most relevant experience has come from dealing with the public through both my job as a Town Council person and as a prior business owner. I will have to attend judicial training just like all new Town Justices have to do, and I will take every opportunity given to me to continue my education to stay up to date on all laws and procedures. I can honestly tell you that I do have experience listening to people that have issues, whether it is at a town board level or a work related. I have always been able to listen to both sides and help to make a decision. I feel that I am able to make educated and rational decisions while maintaining a professional composure, which will be needed to judge cases that come before me.

3. What is the most pressing need for the town, and how do you feel you can help meet that need?

The town judge position is very important to all the residents in the town due to the revenue it generates. In order to make the most revenue the judge has to be available, able to work with people, and have the ability to handle a very busy workload. I feel that I am capable of handling all tasks headed my way. With your support I will be able to prove to you that I am the best candidate for this position, and look forward to serving as your next Town Justice.

Carolyn Meseck-Pratt Age: 66 Party: Democrat but also endorsed by Conservative, Independent and Working Families Parties Education: Two years college Professions: I retired from Verizon after 30 years of experience in telecommunications. After retiring from Verizon, I managed the New York office of Network Services for another 5 years. Then I attended Clinton Community College and graduated with a degree in accounting.

Experience: I have 8 years experience with the Chazy Court, 4 as judge and 4 as court clerk.

Family: Married

1. Why are you running for this position?

I am running for re-election to the position of Chazy Town Justice because I have been through all mandated and optional training courses for certification offered by the NYS Office of Court Administration.

2. What experience do you bring to the position that will be beneficial to the community?

I am an experienced, New York state -certified Town Justice. Not only do I have the experience but also the dedication and maturity to be fair and impartial.

3. What is the most pressing need for the town, and how do you feel you can help meet that need?

The most pressing need for the town now is to keep expenses down. When a new judge is elected, he/she is required to go through certification training and that training is never local nor can it be done online. It is always held in places like Syracuse, Buffalo, Albany or even New York City. This is an expense that the town must pay. In this time of a possible up-coming tax increase, it makes sense to keep judges who are already certified and trained and doing a good job in those positions, which saves the tax payer the expense of training a new candidate. The Chazy Court is currently experienced and running smoothly as it is.

3. What is the most pressing need for the town, and how do you feel you can help meet that need?

Financial health, safety and welfare are the most pressing needs. Also to have an individual in the position who is willing to listen and act on the concerns and needs of everyone in the community.

Adk Council releases annual State of the Park report ELIZABETHTOWN — The Adirondack Park was subjected to a barrage of extreme outside influences over the past 12 months, some of which devastated small communities and public natural resources, while others brought unprecedented good news to park residents and visitors, the Adirondack Council noted in its 2012 State of the Park report.

“Last fall, Gov. Andrew Cuomo acted quickly to marshall state agencies to the aid of communities that were hit hard by Tropical Storm Irene,” said Adirondack Council Acting Executive Director Diane W. Fish. “In the process, however, damage was done to rivers and trout streams that will take great effort and substantial investments to repair.”

Fish also feted Cuomo for working to get the largest land deal dobe in state history.

“This August, the Governor announced he would make the largest purchase of new public lands for the Adirondack Forest Preserve in history,” Fish said. “These lands are unique, biologically rich and vitally important to the park’s water quality and wildlife. They will be a lasting environmental legacy for the Governor and a big boost to local tourism.”

While Fish complemented the land purchase and said Cuomo deserves more praise than criticism, he did not have a perfect environmental score.

“Still, budget cuts and expired terms of office are plaguing his environmental agencies, while his regional economic councils lack environmental representation,” she said.

State of the Park is a comprehensive, non-partisan review of the actions of local, state and federal government officials that helped or harmed the Adirondack Park over the past year. It is issued by the Adirondack Council. This illustrated, 18-page review is the Council’s 27th annual State of the Park report.

A copy of the report is available online at AdirondackCouncil.org.

KEESEVILLE — Keeseville village residents will decide the fate of their municipality at the polls Tuesday, Jan. 22.

Members of the Keeseville Village Board of Trustees voted unanimously Oct. 25 to hold the dissolution referendum vote on the fourth Tuesday of 2013, with voting taking place from noon until 9 p.m. at the Village Hall, 58 Liberty St. Mayor Dale Holderman said that the petition to hold a dissolution vote was validated by clerk Lynn Hathaway, with 119 signatures representing more than 10 percent of the registered village voters.

Holderman voted along with trustees Kathleen Klages, Mary King and Robin Bezio to set the date for the vote, while trustee John Casey was absent. Holderman and King both serve on the Keeseville Dissolution Committee.

Holderman said that the next step in the dissolution process will take place Nov. 5 when the committee will meet for the final time.

“We will finalize the dissolution plan at that meeting, and it will then be presented to the village board at the Nov. 13 meeting,” Holderman said.

The mayor said that he does not expect the board to move on the dissolution plan until after the vote on the matter takes place.

“We don’t vote on the plan,” he said. “We will accept the plan from the committee. Based on how the January vote goes, then we can work on the plan from there and decide if this is the plan we want to present to the taxpayers.”

Holderman said that the village will have 180 days to finalize the dissolution plan and hold a public hearing on it after the Jan. 22 vote.

Then, voters may have another chance to opt out of dissolution by submitting a referendum to vote for or against the dissolution plan.

“After the plan is finalized, voters can submit another petition,” Holderman said. “If our plan is not acceptable, the dissolution does not occur. One way or the other, we will have an answer within three months.”

The petition for referendum will require a larger initial push, requiring 25 percent of registered voters to sign the petition, rather than the 10 percent needed for the first vote.

Holderman said that he wanted a petition to come forward, which allows the dissolution plan to come under permissive referendum.

“The reason we wanted a petition to come in is because it gives the residents a chance for a second vote,” Holderman said. “It was never our intent not to have a vote. We wanted to give them the chance to have the total say.”

Holderman, who has stated his opposition to dissolution, said that he was happy that the dissolution committee process was coming to an end and that he felt it was an important part of the process.

“If we had not had this jump, we would have been in trouble,” Holderman said.

Annie, get your gun!

A

lthough the overall number of licensed hunters in the United State has been on a steady decline, from over 14.1 million participants in 1996 to less than 12.5 million today, there has been one promising trend with the potential to save the shooting sports industry.

Currently, the fastest growing demographic in the industry are women, who currently account for about 15 percent of the shooting, hunting, and firearms marketplace.

According to a survey conducted by the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA), women’s participation in hunting has increased by over 75 percent is just the last five years. It is estimated 3 million women currently hunt, and as many as 5 million regularly shoot. Hunting and shooting are not gender specific sports, and it appears Barbie may soon replace Bubba in the both field, and at the range.

As the overall number of licensed hunters in the United States has dropped steadily, from 14.1 million in 1996 to 12.5 million today, women have become the fastest growing demographic in the industry. Overall women’s hunting has jumped by 75 percent.

According to researchers, there are 72 percent more women hunting with firearms today than just five years ago. Additionally, there are 50 percent more women regularly participating in target shooting, up from 1.8 million to 3.6 million during the same time span.

Data also indicates women outpace men among net newcomers to target shooting with a rifle, where female participation has grown by 4.1 percent. However hunting with a rifle remains primarily a male pursuit, where men still outnumber women 9 to 1.

In 2011, a Gallup Poll revealed that nearly one quarter of all current gun owners are female. Women now account for nearly 15 percent of the shooting, hunting, and firearms marketplace. Female participation in target shooting increased about 50 percent or from 3.3 million to 5 million nationally from 2001 to 2011, and female participation in hunting increased from 1.8 million to 2.6 million during the same time span.

Growth areas for women included muzzleloading (up 134.6 percent), bowhunting (up 30.7 percent) and hunting with firearms (up 3.5 percent).

According to Corey Cogdell, a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist in trap shooting, and a lifelong hunter, "Shooting is one of the most fun and empowering things you can teach a young girl or a grown woman.”

The dramatic increase in female participation can be attributed to numerous programs intended to introduce women to hunting, such Becoming An Outdoors Woman program, Doe Camp and as well as more manufacturers producing clothing

and gear designed for women.

From 2001 to 2010, the number of women participating in target shooting competitions went up 46.5 percent. The success of the USA Womens Shooting Team, which captured at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, is likely to generate even greater interest in shooting sports.

The team was lead by Kimberly Rhode, the first American to achieve individual medals in five straight Olympics, with a record-setting, near perfect performance.

Rhode began her Olympic career as a teenager in 1996 while taking the gold in double trap at Atlanta, and she took bronze in the same event four years later at Sydney. She earned the gold in trap at Athens in 2004 and won the silver in skeet at Beijing in 2008. She won the women's skeet shooting with a world record performance in London, while setting an Olympic mark by missing only once in 100 shots.

My first experience with a female shooter came over twenty years ago. It occurred while I was hosting an afternoon of skeet shooting for a private group at a local resort.

I had set up two clay pigeon throwers, one of which sent targets on a crossing pattern from left to right, and another which sent targets straight away from the shooters. The straightaway station provided a much easier shot.

The gentlemen, all in their late fifty’s and early sixties, took a few practice rounds and soon the wagering began. As the competitions continued, the commodities wagered changed from cash, to hand rolled cigars, to bottles of fine scotch whiskey.

As the event was winding down, a young lady arrived at the compound. She had come over from Burlington, where she was attending college. Her father, who had arranged the event, asked her, “Would you like to shoot a round or two?”

“Oh no, I simply can’t”, she explained, “I’d be embarrassed, I haven’t shot in years!”

Immediately, the old gents began to chide her, “Awww! come on little lady, let’s see what you’ve got! We’ll go easy on you, Honey. Hell! you can’t be any worse than your Dad!” She attempted to beg off from the event, explaining, “I’m just over for the afternoon, I have to get back to college today.”

Following some good hearted, needling from the assembly, she finally relented and parked her car in the lot. As she walked up to the range, she apologized for not wanting to wager. However, as she began to stuff shot shells into a beautiful, old Purdey shotgun, the wagering began anew.

Her father spotted her some cash, and on the first round she knocked down five out of the six clays. It turned out to be her only miss of the afternoon.

One at a time, she continued to unabashedly shoot the pants off all of the old gents, despite their various attempts to rattle her. Best of all, she did it while sporting a wide smile.

After the competitions ended, she asked me to help her carry the winnings back to her car. I expect she was the most popular girl on campus, returning with boxes of hand rolled cigars, bottles of Chivas Regal and Crown Royal and a wad of cash that would choke a horse.

It was a valuable lesson learned. I’ve never bet against a female shooter since.

Andrew Parent smiles proudly as his daughter, Danika, holds one of the fern fronds she found while walking through High Falls Gorge.

Photo by Shaun Kittle

Coming of age W

hen 2-year-old Danika Parent was faced with a 50-foot-high waterfall, she turned to the stone wall behind her and began inspecting a tiny rock fern, common polypody, that was growing from a crack in the gorge. The plunging torrent, which commonly causes a spectator traffic jam along the High Falls Gorge’s trails, did little to impress her, but the

By Shaun Kittle possibility that a tiny plant could have caused the rock to split intrigued her.

The fern wasn’t responsible for the crack, of course—that honor probably goes to frost wedging, a process in which the expansion of freezing water causes rocks, pavement and sidewalks to crack over time. Danika’s interest in all things natural wasn’t deterred by this reality, though. She spent the rest of her journey through the gorge admiring wildflowers growing along the trail’s edge, stomping after toads as they hopped for cover and investigating the sources of various chirps and tweets, all the while casually dismissing the whitecapped water so many others had paid to see.

When Danika’s father, Andrew, invited me to join them on this little adventure, I was admittedly hesitant to accept. I used to wonder why anyone would go to a place like High Falls Gorge in Wilmington or Ausable Chasm in Keeseville when all one has to do is hike 6 miles to Indian Pass to see a gorge, or do the 8-mile loop from the Ausable Club to take in half a dozen waterfalls.

The answer is simple: Not everyone can get to such places, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to.

While exploring High Falls Gorge with Danika and Andrew, I saw people who had issues walking, elderly folks who needed the security of the handrail and parents who had several children to keep track of. While I could argue that most kids can handle the rigors of a trail through the deep woods, not every parent is equipped to bring them there, and there are some whose physical condition simply does not allow for such an endeavor.

And then there was little Danika, petting every patch of moss, examining every delicate flower, chasing every swallowtail butterfly. The draw of this place is the West Branch of the Ausable River and the crack in the earth it occupies, but, as Danika had discovered, that is only a lure to something more grand.

As we explored the gorge, I began to realize that these businesses, the ones I had previously snubbed, are providing a service whose benefits cannot be weighed. As someone who understands that human health, a clean environment and education are imperative to a functioning society, I can easily make a direct connection between those needs and the importance of everyone having access to the outdoors.

Drawing parents and their children into nature encourages people like Danika and Andrew to take a closer look at the living world around them, and the interpretive signs along the trails are the perfect complement to that. This kind of interaction inspires more trips and other healthy activities, and promotes learning that is sparked by a curiosity about the world, something that leads to an understanding of nature that can only develop into respect and compassion for all living things.

The walkways and handrails found in places like Ausable Chasm and High Falls Gorge also help those who aren’t as able-bodied navigate the wilderness. People like myself can talk about the obvious benefits of protecting our forests, water and air, but talk pales in comparison to the sight of water raging through a gorge, a pitcher plant in full bloom or a snapping turtle laying eggs. These places are alive.

Danika is a little older now, and her ability to pronounce the word “butterfly” has improved dramatically. Andrew calls me for advice regarding other hikes to bring her on, ones without wooden viewing decks and stairways, and I am happy to oblige. I think I will always remember that first adventure, though. It taught me that these places, with their interpretive trail signs and fences, are providing a service to everyone who appreciates the outdoors.

It’s funny to me, how learning works. I never would have thought that watching a little girl show her daddy a fern frond could help complete the picture of the world as I see it.

Second meth lab in Altona discovered by police

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com ALTONA – Law enforcement discovered a second meth lab in Altona.

At this location at 16 Joe Wood Road, three individuals hiding in a crawl space were arrested. Police allege they broke into the residence and cooked methamphetamine there.

Chazy-based New York State Police arrested John R. Martin, 30, and Ryan M. Phaneuf, 18, both of Plattsburgh, and Nicole K. Bordeau, 18, of Altona.

Police were interviewing residents after receiving complaints about suspicious activity at 16 Joe Wood Road.

The homeowner gave them permission to enter the property, and police located the three individuals in a basement crawl space.

They had entered the home without permission to cook methamphetamine there, using the one-pot method, a process that is one the rise in the North Country, originating on the West Coast.

Law enforcement then secured the area and processed the residence, safely removing the toxic chemicals and cooking components commonly used in meth labs.

Police discovered ingredients commonly used to manufacture methamphetamine in the home, as well as some of the finished product.

Martin, Phaneuf and Bordeau face felony charges of second-degree burglary and third-degree unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine. They were also charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor.

Bordeau and Phaneuf were arraigned and remanded to Clinton County Jail in lieu of $2,500 cash or $5,000 bond.

Martin was sent to Clinton County Jail in lieu of $25,000 cash or

$50,000 bond.

Bordeau was later released on a court order.

Roughly a week before, authorities found another set of individuals running a methamphetamine lab in Altona.

On Oct. 20, police arrested Danny R. Spear, 46, of Altona, and Claude Y. Leduc, 47, of Merrill after discovering them making methamphetamine in a shed at 404 Irona Road.

West Chazy man faces meth charges

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com CHAZY – A West Chazy man faces jail time after police found him making methamphetamines in a car.

James T. Senecal, 33, was using the one-pot method to make the drug when police arrested him.

A search of his vehicle turned up other drugs as well.

Police watched Senecal drive one car, pull over and exit the vehicle and then enter another car, which a family member was operating.

He was pulled over for a traffic stop, and police discovered drugs

and a mobile lab.

Specifically, Plattsburgh-based New York State police found methamphetamine, hydrocodone pills and marijuana.

Senecal was charged with third-degree unlawful manufacturing, a felony, and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, both misdemeanors.

Police ticketed Senecal with unlawful possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance not in its original container, and traffic violations.

He was arraigned in Town of Beekmantown Court and remanded to Clinton County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond.

The investigation continues and he may face further charges.

www.the-burgh.com - 11 huge turnout,” LaBounty said. “This is our best year ever. Normally we get 300 kids and already this year we have 600 to 700 kids.”

Amanda Favreau wanted to make sure her son David Cannon didn’t miss out on trick-or-treating because of Hurricane Sandy.

“This is such a great idea,” she said. “It is awesome that they donate to the Ronald McDonald House.”

Cannon, who turned five that day and had just finished miniature golf, was eager to get to his next game.

“I want to pop the balloons.”

Halloween Fest from page 1 Bechard said.

The annual event draws hundreds of children and raises thousands of dollars for the Ronald McDonald House in Burlington, Vt. This year, with the unseasonably warm weather the day of the event and worries that Hurricane Sandy would ruin trickor-treating, the event drew its largest crowd ever.

“It started 13 years ago when my kids were little and I felt there was no safe place to trick-or-treat,” said Michelle LaBounty, Plattsburgh Housing Authority Marketing Director. “I thought it would be nice to get kids off the street.”

At the same time, The Ronald McDonald House called inquiring about fundraising possibilities. More than 70 percent of families that use the Ronald McDonald House are from the New York side of Lake Champlain.

“We thought we would ask for a $1 donation to raise money and keep it affordable,” LaBounty said.

That money, as well as funds collected from games and the raffle, benefit the families in need.

“I have never had a sick child and can only imagine how difficult it must be to cross the ferry and be an hour away,” LaBounty said.

Children arrived at the event in costume and played games, also visiting the model homes to trick-or-treat in a controlled environment. Local businesses and civic organizations sponsored individuals homes, staffing them and handing out treats.

Children were also entertained by magician Ishkabibble.

Election 2012: 21st Congressional: Bill Owens (D) v. Matt Doheny (R) Denton Publications recently sat down with incumbent Congressman Bill Owens and challenger Matt Doheny to discuss several key issues that relate to the North Country, nation, and the 2012 election. We asked each candidate the same six questions and allowed them to respond. Here is some of what they had to say:

Bill Owens After hearing from and speaking to people in the 21st District, list the top three issues people in the North Country are facing, in your opinion, and how you would address them: Clearly the first thing that we hear about is jobs and the economy. We look at a couple of different elements. The first is the unfilled jobs in the North Country. The other piece of it is that we need to have some programs that would supplement wages. If they had a $12 an hour job and were offered an $8, they should be offered some transitional money to get it back up to the $12 range. I think that we need to continue to focus on Canada as a continued source of employment. One of the other pieces is to make sure that we are providing public funding to put broadband into the communities and improving broadband coverage in the communities.

The second thing is about our inability in Congress to get anything done. People are just very concerned that we are unable to have a conversation and reach a conclusion. From my perspective, I vote about 35-percent of the time with the Republicans. I am considered by the rating agencies to be a moderate.

The third topic that we hear a lot about is the farm bill. Those are the three things that I hear most consistently in the conversation. We need to pass the farm bill in the house so we can get it into the Senate, because in January we are reverting back to a 1930's statute — there is some concern for a truly unanticipated outcome.

Both sides say they have the best interest of the middle class at heart, but the argument can be made that the middle class has been in a downward spiral under both political parties for years. Give specific examples of what can be done to offer immediate relief to the middle class and how you would help make that happen?

Most of what I talk about is focused on the middle class and trying to create those middle class jobs. The other piece of this is we're in a scenario where we have been, in essence, pushing the middle class down. There is a point where you get to the cliff. If you continue this downward push you will then push the economy over the edge of the table.

We need to get people back to work focusing on education and not just higher education.

We need to make sure we have people who have skills and can work in the trades. Point kids toward the jobs that will be available. I think that for most of us, when I decided to become a lawyer, I did not know what it was going to take to be a lawyer. I grew to love the job, and I don't think that there is anything wrong with that.

Everyone talks about bipartisanship, yet candidates — like yourselves — continue to campaign with hostility toward the other side. After such a mean-spirited campaign is bipartisanship really possible?

I would say to you that the answer is yes because generally speaking, the people you have had a tough campaign with are not the people that you are working with generally. Chris Gibson and I work together fine.

It is an interesting question as to are we a reflection of society or is society a reflection of us. If in fact you are going to solve some of these problems, part of what has to happen is we have to take responsibility, but the public has to take responsibility as well. People have to argue from the facts and as you do these things, there will be pain of various types that people will experience, and it has to be a shared pain in order for it to be fair.

Candidates are anxious to meet with local residents every two years when running for office. Are you willing to make a commitment that you’ll visit each town — other than a campaign stop — in your district during your term?

When you have 17,000 square miles to cover it is tough. Certainly we will reach out to every constituent. As far as getting out to every town, certainly that is a tough commitment to make. I think that people enjoy the telephone town halls. They get to hear what people are saying in the broader district. We will continue to use mobile office hours and literature and all of the tools in the cabinet. We will make as many stops as we physically can. I want the experience to be a quality experience, not just checking something off a sheet.

We know your position on Obama Care. What do you see as the two best and the worst elements of the legislation and how can we move health care forward without wasting the past four year ’s efforts?

The two most important elements are the ones that push us toward more preventative care and getting those 30 million people insured. It is a shifting in sources of revenue rather than the elimination of one.

I did vote to repeal a couple of sections, the 1099 piece and the medical device tax.

I think as we go forward, we are going to need to remain somewhat flexible as we go through this process to see what works and what doesn't and to make changes as we go along. State insurance exchanges are a good example.

Is getting this job about you or about the country? And if about the country then why do you need health care, a pension and more than a million dollars a year for offices in order to serve?

I am on my wife's plan and not the Congressional plan.

Like all federal employees, everyone needs health care so you need a source. The pension only kicks in if you are there for five years and it is 1.3 percent which is contributed for vesting for you. It's not as people think, day one you get a pension and it is your full salary.

I am not sure how one covers 17,000 square miles without a few dollars. It costs money to run town halls, it costs money to set up offices and it costs money to travel around the district. I have returned between 10-12 percent of my budget because I managed to achieve my goal. We have been pretty successful at that. If you are going to talk about cutting, then you have to show that you can cut yourself. If you took 10 percent out of the federal budget, you would save about $300 billion, which would be a significant amount of money.

Matt Doheny After hearing from and speaking to people in the 21st District, list the top three issues people in the North Country are facing, in your opinion, and how you would address them: The first is the lack of growth in economy.

Second is the lack of jobs because of lack of growth. The third would be the lack of government effectiveness in the sense of the debt blowing out to record levels and the sense of uncertainty in the economy. This is why I am running for congress.

I want everybody to have the same opportunities that our parents and grandparents had. I have taken on tremendous challenges and am a self-made man as a businessman.

Bringing that know-how is what we need to bring the economy forward.

Jobs is a corollary of that. Private sector job growth is how we are going to have a vital economy here whether you live in the blue line or in a city area. I think I have an opportunity to be the salesman-in-chief.

Both sides say they have the best interest of the middle class at heart, but the argument can be made that the middle class has been in a downward spiral under both political parties for years. Give specific examples of what can be done to offer immediate relief to the middle class and how you would help make that happen?

I do agree that the stats speak for themselves and I do not think that is just a President Obama challenge. We had the same challenge through George W. Bush, but not as acute. As someone growing up barely in the middle class in Alex Bay, I understand.

I am going to put myself in the shoes of a small business person. How would that person vote in Washington? That is not only a good proxy for the small business owner, but also it is a good proxy for the middle class person. When you get to the nuts and bolts, voting that way will help remove the barriers that prevent people from getting through the day.

I believe in the social safety net, but when the social safety net becomes a hammock, that is when people get upset.

When we talk about gas prices, in terms of an issue, everybody talks about it. When it takes you 45-50 minutes to get to work everyday, gas prices matter. Can I tell you that I can move the price of gas three cents, that's hogwash. But to work on policies where we can have independence or to have more control over the demand, that is definitely something worth pursuing.

Everyone talks about bipartisanship, yet candidates — like yourselves — continue to campaign with hostility toward the other side. After such a mean-spirited campaign is bipartisanship really possible?

It is possible. Are there policy differences, sure. The moment you get elected, we are all Americans. The lack of leadership is a bi-partisan failure.

I have not become successful because I have said that I want to get everything that I want out of every deal and you get nothing. You want the other person to get their six or seven things because the deal has to be something that both sides can be happy on. That seems to be something that has become lost in Washington.

We have not had a budget in four years. Everything we talk about in business is all about being on budget. You can't run a business, a family or a not-for-profit that way. I will work very closely with our Democratic senators and the governor. I do not care if the local town supervisor is a D, R, I or Martian. There is no Democratic or Republican sewer line or cell phone tower.

Candidates are anxious to meet with local residents every two years when running for office. Are you willing to make a commitment that you’ll visit each town — other than a campaign stop — in your district during your term?

I have pledged that I am going to visit each of the 194 towns within my district once every term. I am going to have an office in all 12 counties. Essex County will have an office. I want to invest in people and in physical space rather than mailers. There will be someone in each county that will be responsible and the point person for the campaign.

We know your position on Obama Care. What do you see as the two best and the worst elements of the legislation and how can we move health care forward without wasting the past four year ’s efforts?

The two best elements are moving the age from 18 to 26 for coverage. I think that is something I would include in any health care package. I think that there are discrete elements that could be channeled into a form where we are trying to make sure that we have incentives to make sure that people do not get as sick as quickly. Some of the preventative issues we could work with to create a better free market healthcare system.

The two biggest problems are just so fundamental. It is going to be a climb to a single payer system. It's going to have a huge negative impact. The way Obama Care is structured will lead to fewer hospitals and fewer doctors in rural America and in the North Country.

All of the savings are determined through a 15 person panel. How do I know it, because I actually read it. How do you stop it, there is a super-majority provision of the house and senate to stop one of these recommendations from becoming the law of the land. It will reduce our healthcare benefits. This is why we have to go in a different direction in terms of health care. A lot of it is directed to having government say who is getting paid and how they are going to get it.

Is getting this job about you or about the country? And if about the country then why do you need health care, a pension and more than a million dollars a year for offices in order to serve?

It is 100-percent about the country. When you are your own largest donor, it’s not about me. If they want to change the reimbursement then I will have no problem with it. If there were a bill to change the congressional pension program not only would I vote for the bill, I would co-sponsor it.

Also running: Donald Hassig Donald Hassig, who lives in Canton and is the head of the Cancer Action NY advocacy group, is running on the Green Party line in the Nov. 6 election. Hassig stated that his campaign was to bring more awareness to the fight against carcinogens, which cause cancer, and he hopes to earn at least 1,000 votes in the process.

Election 2012: 115th Assembly: Janet Duprey (R), Karen Bisso (C), Timothy Carpenter (D) A total of three candidates are running for the 115th Assembly Seat including incumbent, Republican Janet Duprey; Karen Bisso, a Plattsburgh City School teacher running as the Conservative Party candidate; and Democrat Timothy Carpenter, a City of Plattsburgh Councilor from Ward 1. Here are their responses to questions from Denton Publications: What inspired you to enter politics?

“My husband and I were running two small businesses and had two young children when the incumbent legislator as well as several others encouraged me to run. I decided it was a good time to become involved in county government. I was the first woman elected to the Clinton County Legislature where I served for 10 years, including 2 as chairperson. I then served 21 years as County Treasurer resigning when I was elected to the Assembly.”

Do you have a philosophy that guides you as a lawmaker?

“I have always treated all people equally and I represent all of the people who live in the Assembly District. Although I work hard to be elected and to elect other candidates, once the election is over, it is essential that everyone of any political party or no party at all knows that he/she is as important to me as someone who has been a strong supporter. The myriad of problems and issues faced by so many people must all be treated with dignity, respect and all the time needed to help with their concerns.”

What are your greatest strengths?

“I have a long-standing reputation as working with people of all parties and being able to negotiate and respectfully discuss issues with everyone. I study issues/legislation thoroughly, listen to constituents and make my decisions based upon what I truly believe is in the best inWhat inspired you to enter politics?

“I have spent the last 28 years raising my family and educating the children of my community. It is time for me to return to community service and give back. The recent eroding of our Constitution, iron-fist control of an out of control Governor, double digit unemployment and ridiculously high property taxes made my choice for community service easy.”

Do you have a philosophy that would guide you as a lawmaker?

“I intend to exercise common sense and remember the taxpayer. I will represent them TO Albany. The message comes from the constituents and gets delivered to Albany not the other way around as we have witnessed for years. I believe that the way the job is done needs to change and for the last 8 months, I have not been campaigning. I have constructed the job as I believe it should be and then set out to do it. A representative MUST represent their constituents. The best way to do that is to be involved with your constituents. I have responded to phone calls from constituents who cannot gain access to their current representative and have gone to homeowner association meetings and drank their contaminated water from the DOT salt shed because their current representative would not. I have attended town council meetings and watched the painful process of trying to keep local budgets within the 2% tax cap. I have had meetings with county administrators and managers. I have spoken with county legislators from all three counties and have toured local businesses. I have attended sportsmen meetings and fire department meetings as well as had booths in gun shows and veteran What inspired you to enter politics?

“I was upset about how fast the property taxes in my hometown were growing and wanted to do something about them, so I decided to run for City Council in Plattsburgh. That was six years ago and in that time we have been able to keep our taxes level. In that time I have also been a part of saving and turning around our Utility (Plattsburgh Municipal Lighting Department) and saving jobs at Plattsburgh Public Library. I found that I enjoyed the challenges of Public Office. I look forward to working with people to solve problems and so decided to run for Assembly.”

Do you have a philosophy that guides you as a lawmaker?

“I look at issues as ‘What would I do at home?

Is this how I would run my house?’ I rely on common sense to come up with answers. I look for the answers that would benefit the largest number of people. I also believe that by working together we can come up with effective solutions to all our problems. There is strength in unity and I am a consensus builder. In the end, I believe that I represent ALL people and will work to bring all voices to Albany.”

What are your greatest strengths?

“My ability to get along with everyone and my use of common sense to find answers. I have worked with people on both sides of the issues to come up with effective solutions to problems

terest of the North Country. We receive innumerable emails/phone calls depending on the time of year and pending issues, and I give personal attention to each one and respond as soon as time permits. After careful study and listening, I am able to think broadly and am not constricted by narrow views or rigid ideology. I represent all constituents, am able to compromise and have the knowledge and ability to speak strongly on behalf of my Assembly District.”

Please name misperceptions about yourself and set the record straight.

“I have been criticized for taking the retirement for which I am legally entitled and which I earned after serving 31 years in county government. Few understand the current structure of the NYS retirement system pretty much forces people to retire as soon as they are eligible. If an employee dies while working, the benefits to a surviving spouse are significantly reduced. I decided to protect my husband of more than 45 years and my family by assuring a monthly pension payment in the event of my death. The pension payment will not continue to increase as I serve in the Assembly, the State is no longer paying 28% of my salary toward my pension costs and electing another Assembly member does not save any money as the salary and my pension remain the same cost to the taxpayer. Clearly our North Country is well served by the many retirees who return to some form of public service collecting a pension and salary. events. I have attended American Legion county and local meetings. I have worked on a farm and visited feed lots and attended their beef producer meetings. In a nutshell.......I have listened and am prepared to continue to work out in the field with my constituents and it is their message which I speak of. I would also deliver the message to Albany in a different format, using my skills as a teacher to be sure that they hear directly from us about how what they do and how they legislate our area affects us.”

What are your greatest strengths?

“Relationship building, listening, researching, tact, assertiveness, perseverance, determination, thinking quick on my feet, good communicator and a good sense of humor.”

Please name misperceptions about yourself and set the record straight.

“1. I am not a third party candidate. I am the only Republican in a race with two Democrats.

I am a Conservative Republican. Janet’s fiscal and social voting record places her on the left side of Democrat. Now more than ever, people are looking at the candidate and not the party.

2. Not believing in bi-partisanship is a bold move, but misunderstood. I believe that reaching across the aisle is just a way for the North Country to negotiate our own surrender. People from the Bronx should not be deciding legislation on outdoor wood boilers when it does not affect them, but affects us. I believe in finding people who believe in the same principles of ridding this state of waste, fraud and corruption and then building on those relationships to get something accomplished. 3. I am not anti-union.

I have been in a union for the last 27 years. I am

that others had trouble solving. I don't panic and I work well under pressure. I enjoy trying to solve problems, even those that others have not been able to solve. I am willing to talk to anyone and I am always looking for more information on issues. I am able to say I am wrong when new information is presented to me and I can and will change my stance when that happens.”

Janet Duprey There is a misconception that I am pro-abortion. I am not. I don’t understand why any woman would choose to have an abortion and can’t fathom the circumstances which would make her decide that is her only option. However, if that is her decision, then the procedure should be performed in a safe, sanitary setting by a qualified provider. I am a strong supporter of every woman’s right to make her own decisions with consultation of her physician about all aspects of her own health care.

There is no question I am a well-seasoned candidate having been elected in 14 general elections and one primary. I think I’m known as, and believe I am, a compassionate but tough competitor. However nothing prepared me for the hateful messages spray painted on my campaign signs during the primary election this year. I was personally rattled by this hatred but especially upset by the hurt and pain this caused my family. I also feel bad for the many good people living in these small communities who feel they also have been violated by the perpetrator(s). For a short time I lost confidence in the goodness of our North Country people. However, with the overwhelming outreach of support I received, I quickly returned to believing in the better good of those who live here and have confidence that the State Police will in time

make an arrest of those responsible. There are appropriate ways to disagree on issues, but this hatred is simply not acceptable.

What are the three most pressing issues the North Country faces and how would you tackle them?

“We must continue to create and retain jobs and to assure we have the trained workforce for the jobs that are available.

See DUPREY, Page 16

Karen Bisso however, for unions modernizing and at the least doing a better job of representing the individual needs of their members and not just the collective needs of the membership.”

What are the three most pressing issues the North Country faces and how would you tackle them?

“1. High taxes – told to me by almost all groups I met with over the last 8 months as well as the number one answer given when I canvassed and went door to door in the district. 2.

An inability to use our resources like the rail bed and ACR because of outside interference. 3. The loss of our children due to lack of opportunity.

If I may, you cannot conclude this issue without addressing the size and scope of Albany and its encroachment on local government, balancing its budget on the backs of local governments which are left also with tax cap restrictions due to unfunded mandates. Watching local town councils balance their budgets this season was invaluable and speaking with town supervisors was informative.”

Why should you be elected over your opponents?

“I have a different approach to representation. I believe that when asked a question about an issue, the answer should be a reflection of how that issue affects our district, not how Albany is trying to fix the concern. The message must go to Albany and not the other way around. This is a stark contrast between me and

my opponents. I believe in smaller government and that government does not create jobs; It creates the climate necessary for good job creation but the task of job creation is left to you, the small business owners and corporations which yearn for a business friendly environment. I went to you, the constituents and asked you to tell me what your needs are. Together, we are crafting a message which I will strongly take to Albany and I will not rest nor stop working for the best for the North Country and the State of NY. Finally, I did not only show up, I stayed….from beginning to end through any meeting, any bar b que, any car show, any dinner, any tournament, any lesson. I will not just show up in Albany, I will get the job done.”

Timothy Carpenter

Name misperceptions about yourself and set the record straight.

“Someone started a rumor that I was not in this race and was a placeholder for Janet. That is not true. I believe I am the best answer for this district and I am interested in this job.

That I am too nice to be effective in Albany. I have experience working with groups of people who all have differing agendas and convincing them to work together for the betterment of all involved.”

What are the three most pressing issues the North Country faces and how would you tackle them?

“1. Unemployment. I believe that we need jobs to turn the economy around, to turn the state around. Every issue that comes in front of the Assembly should include a discussion on whether it destroys or creates jobs and/or how it can be used to increase jobs.

2. Taxes, mainly the rises in property taxes.

This is due in large part to mandates from the

state forced on municipalities without regard to how they will pay. The state needs to reassess how it is doing business and control these mandates better.

3. All the entities that exist in this district, and in this state, need to cooperate as opposed to compete for the good of all. In the end we all want the same thing, we just go about it in differing ways. I believe I can get the different entities to cooperate.”

Why should you be elected over your opponents?

“I am fiscally conservative. A quick search will tell you that among the three of us I will spend the least amount of money on this campaign. That is not because I don't want the position. It is that I refuse to buy it. I will not waste my money and when elected I will not waste your tax dollars. I have experience and have had success working with many people with differing agendas to solve problems that others were unable to resolve. My history with the City of Plattsburgh will show that I am very aware and concerned with the rising tax problem. In fact we have done a very good job keeping our taxes level while the taxes in the rest of the world increased. In the five years I have been a part of

the city council our financial position has strengthened so much that we were able to arrange a better credit rating thereby lowering our debt service by lowering the interest paid. I had a part in turning around a utility that was in trouble ( Plattsburgh's Municipal Lighting Department) and in saving jobs (Plattsburgh Public Library) and in bringing the Library and the City of Plattsburgh and the Library Union to a four year contract that benefits all.”

Duprey Continued from page 15 I agree with Governor Cuomo that we must have private/public relationships that encourage private enterprise to invest in our economy.

The best example of these working relationships is the great success of the North Country Regional Economic Development Council which this past year awarded $103 million in funding to various enterprises for job creation and retention.

A priority of the Governor and Legislature next year must be to take action on significant mandate relief. When the 2% tax cap was put in place, mandate relief was to follow. Two years later little has been done to relieve our local municipalities and school districts of unfunded mandates which drive up the cost of local government. In fact some agencies such as the State Education Department have increased the mandates on our schools at a time when they can least afford any further regulations. Our municipalities and schools are depleting their fund balances and if the state does not bring about relief, many important local services will need to be eliminated or drastically reduced. We need to work with small businesses to eliminate a number of redundant and conflicting regulations among state agencies so business owners are not caught in situations which slow down or prevent growth.

We need to work with local telecommunications providers to obtain federal and state funding to complete broadband and cell phone access throughout the North Country. There are still too many areas where high-speed internet service is not available which impedes further business and residential development.

In today’s world, people are not going to settle in areas without adequate internet and cell phone communications. Government took the lead role in developing electrical and land-line phone coverage to all parts of the country, and the same commitment must be made to assure all areas of the North Country can meet the demands of today’s lifestyle.”

Nexus Aspergers Program, Traumatic Brain Injury Center and Alzheimers. I’ve proven I can work in a bi-partisan manner in an Assembly of diverse interests and a majority of members from populated downstate regions. Because of my many years in county and state government

I understand how the systems work, where they don’t work well, and most importantly I have contact people in every state agency and department who I can work with to solve local issues.

I know the North Country and the people who live here.”

The State Museum is hosting Adirondack Day, on Saturday, Nov. 3. Visitors to the State Museum on Adirondack Day will have an opportunity to attend lectures and programs focusing on the natural and cultural history of the Adirondacks and the resources available from many of the organizations and institutions in the Adirondacks.

The event will be free and open to the public. Exhibits include the works of Seneca Ray Stoddard, including “Solid Comfort” created in 1889 and provided by the Trudeau Institute.

Why should you be elected over your opponents?

“For some reason a political career is the only profession where longevity, the value of seniority, good qualifications and success are considered a liability. In all other jobs these are seen as extremely valuable assets. I have served on dozens of volunteer Boards including CVPH, Pine Harbour, Apple Valley Senior Housing, Red Cross, Hospice, Nursing Advisory Committees at Clinton Community College and SUNY Plattsburgh and the recently formed SUNY Spectrum Committee supporting the
