Informational meeting on bridge replacement slated

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — When 46-year-old Diann (Moor e) Gordon was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer ear lier this year, it marked the first time in her immediate family that kind of diagnosis had been handed down, said Gordon’s sister, Gail Carter.

“And, ther e’s 1 1 of us,” said Carter , noting even their par ents hadn’t had a history of cancer.

However, Carter said her sister pr essed on with the news and has been undergoing treatment ever since.

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com SCHUYLER F ALLS — Planning has begun to r eplace an aging bridge in the

hamlet of Morrisonville.

Representatives fr om the state Department of T ransportation will hold a public information meeting T uesday, Nov. 15, to pr ovide information and answer

questions about a pr oject being proposed by the state to r eplace the State Route 22B bridge over the Saranac River in downtown Mor risonville.

“It’s an old, old bridge,”

Schuyler Falls Town Supervisor Har old Ormsby said of the cir ca 1948 str ucture.

“It’s needed to be r eplaced for quite a few years.”

NYSDOT engineer David Moffatt said the state has been examining r eplacing the bridge for the past three years though noted the current structure is not considered unsafe.

“There ar e just some structural issues, r ust and things like that,” said Moffatt. “It’s just old.”

The r eplacing of the bridge — which could happen as late summer 2013 and wrap by fall 2014 — is necessary befor e it gets to the point where it would be unsafe, said Moffatt.

“It’s just to make sur e something doesn’t happen,” emphasized Mof fatt.

“There is no critical issue.”

Taste of Home Cooking School a success, organizers say

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Crete Memorial Civic Center was “packed”as Denton Publications and other fine sponsors hosted the second annual T aste of Home Cooking School Nov. 5.

Ed Coats, associate publisher of Denton Publications and New Market Press, who has been or ganizing Taste of Home locally since first of fering it in Burlington, Vt., six years ago, said attendance for this year ’s event exceeded his expectations.

“It was fantastic,” said Coats. “Though we don’t have the final numbers yet, we know we incr eased our attendance from last year ...

It was a packed house.”

Last year ’s event saw more than 1,100 people turn

out for cooking demonstrations from chef Michael Barna. This year , Eric V illegas was the featur ed culinary specialist. V illegas — who has owned two r estaurants, written two cookbooks, and earned two r egional Emmy awards for his popular television show , “Fork in the Road with Eric V illegas” — wowed the cr owd, said Coats.

“Eric was gr eat,” said Coats. “He r eally got the crowd going and showed off some r eally amazing recipes.”

Many people appr oached Coats and the r est of the Denton Publications staff who wer e on-hand for the event, telling them how they enjoyed Villegas’ show and the variety of vendors, said Coats.

“People loved the goodie bags, too,” said Coats, refer-

ring to the free gift bags given to attendees.

The whole event, noted Coats, could not have happened without the support of the vendors, attendees and sponsors Price Chopper, W ilson's Appliance Center, and Perrywinkle’s Fine Jewelry.

Coats also cr edited the City of Plattsbur gh Recreation Department for their hard work and department director Steve Peters.

“Steve and his staff are always a pleasur e to work with,” said Coats.

The show went so well, said Coats, ther e’s alr eady been talk of hosting another in the spring, rather than waiting until next fall.

“We’re not sur e at this point if we will, but this event keeps getting bigger and bigger, so who knows,” said Coats.

Lumber Jills still reeling from home bout win

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — It was the second time the North Country Lumber Jills faced the Twin City Riot and it was the second time they won.

The Lumber Jills defeated the team fr om Barre, Vt., 95 to 87 during the first home bout for the Lumber Jills at the City of Plattsbur gh Recreation Center Oct. 29.

Erin McGill, captain of the Lumber Jills team, said she and her teammates were excited to host T win City , a team which pr ovided them with a challenge throughout the entire bout.

“The whole second half was intense,” said McGill, who goes by the derby name “Teachy McKill.” “It's when the scor e became extr emely close and our team r eceived a ton of penalties and wer e sent to the penalty box far too often.”

primarily jammer during the bout, agr eed the bout got more intense as it came to an end.

“The last couple minutes of this bout wer e extr emely gripping,” said Dr ury, who goes by the derby name “Spec. Agt. Draina Skully.”

What kept the momentum going, she said was her team’s communication.

“Our team has really good communication skills, which is essential when making split-second decisions on the track,” said Dr ury. “Having

blockers that are super good at communicating and stopping the other jammer helped us a ton.”

Jamie Cook, who helped the Lumber Jills skate to their win in the final minutes of the bout, said it was the “hard work and dedication in our practices” that netted them the win. What made it even more exciting, though, was the number of people who came out for the event.

“The cr owd did surprise me,” said Cook, who’s known as “Khaos” on her

team. “It really got me moving when I would hear the ‘Khaos’ chant.”

McGill said the win has helped the team look forward to their next bout even more.

“It feels great to have won both times we've played against Twin City, but this game was so close that we'll continue to practice and work har d so next time we play with fewer penalties and try to get the score a little higher,” said McGill.

tired, said Carter , overall, she’s maintained a positive outlook.

“This won’t hold her down,” said Carter . “The only thing is she r eally can’t drive right now , which

drives her crazy.”

Carter said her sister will continue with chemotherapy and is awaiting r esults of an examination of some spots found in her brain during a recent examination.

While Gor don waits, her sister and friends ar e in the process of organizing a benefit in her honor Satur day, Nov. 19. The event will be held fr om 12 to 6 p.m. at American Legion Post 1619, 219 Rand Hill Road, W est Plattsburgh, and include a spaghetti dinner , live auction, Chinese auction, raff les, and entertainment by the Too Big for the Corner Band.

The benefit will help with the medical expenses Gord on has incurr ed as she is currently unable to work and is collecting disability. Carter hopes the community will turn out to show support for her sister.

“Dianne has always been the girl who gives to everybody else,” said Carter. “This has just been hard for her because she doesn’t feel comfortable with getting things back. If she had her last dollar in her pocket, she’d give it to you.”

Denton Publications Editorial

Publisher’s Viewpoint

Spending plans need to be Bridging the future presented in readable form I

C

larity in government is essential for the participation of the people. In few places is that clarity as important as a town or city budget.

The town budget has a great impact on people's daily lives. But many budgets presented to citizens, especially in smaller towns, are difficult to read. The documents are full of abbreviations and tightly-packed figures that may capture the spirit and the most essential information on the budget process, but it’s meaningless to most citizens.

A budget summary or narrative can be helpful. The issue with one of these attached to a budget that citizens can't read is that they don't know exactly how trustworthy or inclusive the information is; they can't verify it on their own. This is a tall hurdle that makes it hard for constituents to feel empowered.

The role of government is the authoritative allocation of scarce resources. Towns' budget officers are working to stay under the 2 percent tax cap, and for some towns this can mean a few thousand dollars up or down. With that little wiggle room, informed feedback from constituents is more valuable than usual this budget year.

The role of citizens is to hold their representatives accountable. If the citizens can't account for the money their government is spending, they're missing out on participating in the most important function of their governing body.

The problem with many of these publicly distributed documents is their extreme brevity. There's a lot of information to put in there, but handing out small books for public review is awfully inefficient. Paper's not what it used to be in this 21st century.

Space was a consideration in those

bygone days before data bits flew through cables and airwaves, bringing us funny cats and free news articles.

Now, all that bandwidth required for Mittens' latest mishap can easily accommodate a bigger document packed with easier-to-digest line items.

A modern revolution in information design provides many solutions to that problem.

Cook County, Ill. made a visualization tool called “Look at Cook” available online for its citizens. The tool features an interactive line graph showing year-to-year spending, with line items that can be drilled down through until users see exactly where their town’s money is spent. The program is an open source, meaning it’s free to use, though it does require some amount of technical expertise.

In Portsmouth, N.H., a city council candidate named Jack Thorsen has posted a tool that shows the municipal budget in a pie chart. That by itself is nothing impressive, but as soon as the user hovers their mouse cursor over the graphic it comes alive, spinning and expanding.

When a slice of the chart is clicked, say “Library,” a list opens to the right of the chart, documenting how the library funds are spent exactly, from overtime to postage to book-binding.

Thorsen is developing his visualization tool as a business venture.

At a time when citizens and budget officers are calling for more creativity in allocating those scarce resources, a little creativity in presenting the budget can make community input a lot more valuable.

United Way helps many As a town and county supervisor , I know first-hand that government is not always the answer for all of our needs. We have to rely on many other services and people who are there to lend a helping hand.

How would you feel to know ther e was an or ganization there to help when your elderly parents, children, grandchildren, friends or neighbors needed assistance? I’ll tell you how I feel — r elieved and thankful and that is exactly how you should feel knowing United Way of the Adirondack Region is here in our tri-county communities.

We are very fortunate to have United Way and the 39 partner agencies striding to be a leader in community partnership building and to incr ease the organized capacity of people to care for one another.

For these or ganizations to maintain the capability to pr ovide much needed services, we have to r each deep into our hearts and give a donation that you can af ford — remember, there is no donation too small; every little bit helps.

A wise friend once of mine once said, “that separately we accomplish little, but together we can accomplish the extraordinary.”

Thank you for your continued gener osity and support towards the United Way of the Adirondacks Inc. Gerald H. Morrow United Way Campaign Chair Chesterfield

Humidifiers help humans, houseplants Lunchbox 101 continues

I

will admit that I am one of those people who always try to postpone turning on the heat.

While I could ar gue that I want to conserve energy or keep my heating bill low, I think it is r eally denial. I don’t want to fully admit that winter is approaching.

By this point, ther e is no denying the appr oaching winter. The heat is on, the air is dry and my humidifiers are out and in full use. While humidifiers are great for us during the winter months, I also r un them for my houseplants.

Most houseplants prefer humidity levels of 40 to 50 per cent. Unfortunately, the air inside our centrally-heated homes usually falls somewher e near the 10 to 30 per cent range during the winter . To houseplants (especially tr opical houseplants), this can feel like living in the desert.

If your houseplants ar e showing any of the following symptoms, the air around them may be too dry: leaf tips ar e br own and shriveled, leaf edges are turning yellow and wilting, buds and flowers are shriveling and falling of f, or the plant is dr opping leaves.

Humidifiers are a great way to increase the relative humidity in your home during the winter months. I have several large humidifiers running in my house during the winter. But, you don’t need to raise the humidity of your entire house, just confine

your plants and your humidifier to a single room.

Certain r ooms in the house, like bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms, tend to have higher relatively humidity (moister air). As long as they offer plants adequate exposure to light, consider temporarily r elocating sensitive plants to these rooms during the winter season.

Another method for incr easing the r elative humidity ar ound your houseplants is to place them on trays or saucers filled with pebbles and water. The bottoms of the pots should remain above the level of the water to pr event the r oots fr om standing in water . As water evaporates from the pebble tray, it will increase the humidity in the air surrounding the plants.

Many people try to incr ease the humidity by misting with a water bottle. Unfortunately , this method is not as ef fective as other humidity increasing methods. Over misting your plants can also lead to fungal gr owth, especially if the plant remains wet during the night.

ince I had such a great r esponse to my Lunchbox 101 series, I have decided to continue the series on a monthly basis thr oughout the school year. Now that the weather is getting cooler, I like to know my kids will have something warm in their bellies for lunch.

Some simple ideas are to pack leftovers from the night before like: • Spaghetti • Mac and cheese • Raviolis • Baked ziti or lasagna • Cooked rice with leftover meat and/or veggies • Beans and rice Some other ideas that have gone over well are: • Oatmeal — try to make it interesting. My girls like it with peanut butter and a little agave syr up, or you can try my pumpkin oatmeal recipe from last week’s article.

College students learn about ‘fur under the desk’ ELCS teacher talks experience with her therapy dog ‘Rowdy’

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Students in the Council for Exceptional Students at SUNY Plattsburgh were excited to meet their guest of honor at a Nov. 3 event, and maybe give him a little rub behind the ears.

The guest was Rowdy, who for the last eight years has teamed with Elizabethtown-Lewis math teacher Ralph Holzhauer to help students at the school in reading and writing.

Holzhauer said he was used to the attention going to his four -legged partner.

“I’ve gotten used to walking through the halls and the kids saying hi to Rowdy but not to me,” Holzhauer told the gr oup of students and others who attended the presentation at the Angell Center on the PSUC campus. “I’m just the math teacher on the other end of the leash.”

Holzhauer said that Rowdy , a Newfoundland, has been trained in numerous ar eas and has r eceived Versatile Newfoundland r ecognition.

“It’s like being named to the hall of fame for his br eed,” Holzhauer said.

Holzhauer talked about how Rowdy is used with students in the elementary classes with dog-assisted education and therapy, including reading and writing programs, special instr uction pr ograms, assisted activities and therapies and extra curricular activities.

Holzhauer said the younger students will come to his high school

math r oom, located upstairs with, “the big kids.”

“At first, one of the concerns for the kids was coming up with the big kids,” Holzhauer said. “I don’t know how he does it, but Rowdy always knows when they ar e coming and will announce their pr esence with a bark or two and that helps.

Of course, its gr eat in the morning when you have a math student who may not be quite awake and to watch them jump when he barks.”

Holzhauer said school of ficials have been very excited about how Rowdy has helped out and gave examples of how he was able to help students in writing and reading.

“One sixth grader wr ote that, ‘even if you didn’t read the best, he would always listen and love you.’

That student is now in ninth-grade, and Rowdy looks forwar d to her coming in each morning, so it has come full circle,” he said.

Holzhauer also said older students have been able to er ad to Rowdy in their foreign language classes.

“Some of the kids who r ead to Rowdy in elementary school convinced their Fr ench teacher to let them read their stories that they had written in Fr ench to him,” Holzhauer said, adding, “Of course, he’s multi-lingual, so he still seemed to understand and he still listened.”

Holzhauer also gave an example of how the pr ogram had worked with writing.

“The first year of this, I had the second grade teacher coming up to me with tears in her eyes, asking me to r ead a story a student had written,” he said. “It was a long story about Rowdy. Then she told me that it was the first time that this student had ever written anything in class.”

Over the last eight years,

Blood drives scheduled next week PLATTSBURGH — The North Country Regional Blood Donor Center will conduct several blood drives acr oss the r egion through the end of the month.

Members of the C ouncil for Exceptional Students at SUN Y Plattsburgh get a chanc e to pet Rowdy before the Nov. 3 presentation by “the math teacher on the other end of the leash,” Ralph Holzhauer.

Holzhauer said he thought every student in the school had at one time or another had personal interactions with Rowdy, whether through reading in the little section of the high school math classr oom or in other areas of the school day.

“I have been teaching for 36 years,” Holzhauer said. “After eight years with Rowdy , I honestly can say that I do not r emember what it was like without him.”

Sean Sullivan, a junior at Platts-

burgh State and pr esident of the Council for Exceptional Students, who organized the event, said they were inter ested in how Holzhauer and Rowdy had worked together in school.

“We found out thr ough Connie Marsh (advisor to the council) about Ralph and Rowdy and the way that Rowdy is used to help in the school,” Sullivan said. “I think that it is a very valuable tool and kids like the interaction with the dog.”

New Lake Champlain Bridge opens with ceremony Vt. Gov. Shumlin, NY Lt. Gov. Duffy help cut ribbon

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Hundreds of people lined up to cross the new $76 million Lake Champlain Bridge Monday, Nov. 7 — bicyclists, walkers, r unners and, finally, the motorists.

First they had to get past New York Lt. Gov . Robert Duffy, V ermont Gov . Peter Shumlin and a group of VIPs giving speeches and cutting a golden ribbon. Once the hour-long cer emony was over, ar ound 3:30 p.m., the podium was r emoved, the white chairs stacked against the guar d rail, and the crowds str eamed acr oss the bridge to Vermont.

It had been more than two years since the 1929 bridge closed here on Oct. 16, 2009.

Commuters and visitors had to take a free ferry to get be-

tween Cr own Point, N.Y . and Addison, Vt. when the service opened on Feb. 1, 2010. The loss of the old bridge was described multiple times as “an inconvenience.”

While politicians lamented the old bridge — remembered well by mor e than a dozen ’29ers who had been at the original Aug. 26, 1929 bridge opening — Nov . 7, 2011 was the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Lake Champlain.

“I want to point out that this is day one,” said Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsbur gh.

“We’re going to count forward from here.”

The concept of linking the two states with a new bridge was a common theme among the speakers.

“When I looked out, as I was coming today, I saw the hands of the community , of the state of New York and the federal government reaching out to one another to bring New York and Vermont back together again,” Owens said.

Motorists travel between Crown Point, N.Y. and Addison, Vt. on the Lake Champlain Bridge ar ound 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7 shortly after the new span opened. More photos of the bridge opening ceremony can be found on-line at www.denpubs.com.

While some spoke of the bridge as a metaphor — connecting the common values of V ermonters and New Yorkers in the Champlain

Valley — others described it as a transportation link essential to the everyday lives of residents.

“It’s mor e than concr ete

and steel,” said New York Assemblywoman T eresa Sayward, R-Willsboro. “It is the link that the North Country has to the closest trauma

unit, and many ambulances run back and forth acr oss this bridge.”

“The of ficials said that he had never crossed the plane,” Beekmantown head coach Jamie Lozier said. “However, we didn’t do anything in the first half and it is fr ustrating when we prepared as hard as we did throughout the week and then had a lot of things go wrong.”

“I would have pr eferred to have ended a little better on defense, “Per u head coach Nick Damiani said. “We did a nice job defensively thr ough the first thr ee quarters, but the combinations of Carter Fr echette and Luke Weaver started clicking. They played tough, and they had an opportunity to get the ball and tie the game.”

Damiani said that the title was something that would sink in later on, and that the team would enjoy it until it was time to pr epare for Schalmont on Monday.

“I told them to enjoy tonight and tomorrow, then on Monday we come back to the practice field and do it all over again. W e want to take Section VII football down to Section II and make some noise.”

Sweeper Nathan Reynolds said that the defensive plan was to make sure that everyone on Chazy knew where prolific Willsboro scorer Clay Sherman was at all times.

“We put pr essure on him all the time,” Reynolds said. “Y ou have to give cr edit to Willsboro, they are a great team and we had to come together as a team and work as hard as we have to get the win.”

“I had faith that we would play a str ong defensive game, but with as much time was left and how good Willsboro is, I wasn’t sure if we wer e safe,” Eagles head coach Rob McAuliffe said. “We tried to get to Sherman early before he could do anything with possession.”

“This was by far the best of the thr ee games,” W illsboro head coach Andy Lee said. “It was back and forth, 50-50 paly . They happened to get us today.”

Along with the team play, Lee said that he was impr essed with the play of senior sweeper Dakota Saywar d, who played the game with a torn MCL and partially torn ACL. “Dakota was out there for everything and he left his heart out there,” Lee said. “It was two great defensive efforts. Chazy is known for the offense and scoring, but it is their defense that shines in games like this.”
