HOLIDAY SEASON

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Reginald Nephew arrived at Target in Plattsburgh at 3:15 p.m. Thursday to be the first in line for Black Friday.

“We are leaving her e and then going to W almart, Lowes and Kmart,” said Nephew , of Altona.

Black Friday, the day following Thanksgiving and the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, has historically been the year ’s busiest shopping day.

Philadelphia birthed the Black Friday name after suffering massive traf fic jams. Ther e have been assaults, even deaths around the country as shoppers shove past each as they r ush to their desired items.

Stores typically open their doors at 4 a.m., though this year many opened at midnight.

“Target is the place to be this year ,” said Amber Averill, also fr om Altona and second in line.

The pair br ought chairs and blankets for warmth and food for energy.

“We both come together every year ,” Averill said. “We come prepared.”

They make friends and see many of the same people each year toward the front of the line.

“We got quite a few her e we know,” Nephew said.

Some people nearby at Best Buy arrived as early as 8 a.m. The line stretched the length of

Small Business Saturday a hit locally

By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Becky Leonard doesn’t want small businesses to fade from the community’s collective memory.

That’s why she and other small-business owners ar ound the nation participated in Small Business Saturday.

American Express created the holiday, held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, between Black Friday and Cyber monday, both of which r espectively featur e big-box and e-commerce stories.

“I have been doing my best to spr ead the word about it,” said Leonard, owner of Plattsburgh’s Under One Roof V ideo, 267 Margaret St. Leonard began pr eparing days in advance, getting her own store ready for the event and spr eading wor d about Small Business Saturday through facebook. She emailed about 1,200 customers.

“It gives local stor es a boost between Black Friday and Cyber monday , and gives us some part of that market,” Leonard said.

in this case, a library.”

Burglars hit two separate apartments at 2968 Main St. on Sept. 13 and a house on North Bend Road in which $800 was stolen. Items stolen from one of the Main Street apartments included an external hard drive, a safe containing collectable coins, a black messenger bag, a bayonet, and collectible knives amounting to $1,100, according to Sypek.

Similar to the library incident, ther e were no signs of forced entry, with the exception of a br oken screen, at any of the eight locations.

State police made an arr est in October stemming from another string of bur glaries in the Per u ar ea wher e unattached garages and sheds wer e tar geted.

Cameron M. Rascoe, 20, of Per u, was arrested on Oct. 20 in connection with stealing tools and char ged with thir d-degree burglary after he tried to sell them on Craigslist. Rascoe has since been released from jail, according to Sypek.

“This is a good way to get out what we are all about.”

Small businesses are independent and offer personal attention to detail and customer service, Murray said.

“Frosty handed out balloons,” Leonard said.

She is hoping Small Business Saturday grows each year. The idea, she said, is to spend money locally to ensure it is circulated back into the area’s economy.

Redistricting spurs questions from legislators

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Clinton County Legislators continue to look into a r edistricting plan that would impact Areas 3, 4, 8 and 9.

At the Clinton County Legislature meeting Nov. 22, Mark Dame said he doesn't think Fort Br own Drive should be moved fr om Area 8 into Area 9. Dame won the November Election and will become the newestArea 8 Legislator on Jan 1, 2012.

The Clinton County Legislatur e r e-draws district lines every 10 years based on U.S. Census numbers.

More than 82,100 people live in Clinton County , according to 2010 Census figures. Once the lines are re-drawn, each distirct would have roughly 7,900 people in them, some more, some less, according to a formula that allows either 5 per cent above or below the average.

Areas 3 and 4 and Areas 8 and 9 must be changed to fall within population requirements.

Area 4 would take in some people in Area 3, which is 41 people over the limit.

Changes to Areas 8 and 9 have fallen under the gr eatest scrutiny. Area 8 has nearly 800 mor e people than allows, while Area 9, which borders it, has far fewer than guidelines permit.

The current plan, which could change, would shift the district boundary in Plattsburgh’s south end to absorb the area near Fort Brown Drive and Club Road on the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base, “The new boundaries of Area 8 have concerned me because they go down the middle of Fort Br own Drive and separate neighborhoods,” Dame said at a public hearing.

Plus, he said, there has been development there.

He wants to keep Fort Br own Drive and the tail end of Club Road in Area 8.

“I just ask that you take a look at that,” Dame said.

Legislators tabled the vote on the plan.A recommendation will be made by the Dec. 14 meeting.

Chef’s toys for Tots growing each year with gifts

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Nearly 10 years ago, Chris “Chefy” Duquette started a Christmas party in his house.

“I was donating toys,” said the owner of Duke’s Diner in Plattsburg h, 8 Tom Miller Road.

But the party swelled, and Duquette moved it to a local restaurant.

“My house was getting destroyed,” he said.

Last year Chef’s Toys for Tots Party at Geoffrey’s Pub, 5453 Peru St., was part of an effort that resulted in roughly 10,000 presents that the Clinton County Christmas Bureau distributed to more than 1,200 local families.

“I wanna keep it local,” Duquette said.

For the past several years, he has partnered with Dannemora Town Justice Tom Douglas and Rodney Pr ovost, who r etired from Plattsburgh Distributing. Plattsburgh Distributing provides large stockings that are delivered to area businesses to collect donations.

This year, stockings went out to roughly 48 locations.

The culmination of the event is Chef’s Toys for Tots benefit party at Geoffrey’s Pub on Dec. 10, at 7 p.m. The cover char ge Chris “Chefy” Duquette stands with some of the toys that will be donated through the Clinton County Christis one unwrapped toy or a $5 donation to T oys for Tots.

Community Store re-defining The true meaning of the season image of small town America I

A

t a time when the holiday shopping season focuses squarely on big-box stores and online retailers, along comes the Community Store in Saranac Lake to capture our hearts and imaginations.

The Ames department store in Saranac Lake closed in 2002, and no matter how hard small shop owners tried to collectively serve the “general store” needs of this community, more and more people began relying on the big-box destinations outside the Adirondack Park. When Walmart tried to build a supercenter here, village officials blocked the plan, forcing locals to make trips of 50 miles or more (one-way) to buy the most basic household items, such as underwear. It also gave the community a chance to create a department store for the masses, playing by home rule rather than corporate greed.

We’re not naïve. We know Saranac Lakers will still buy goods online and take shopping trips to the closest Walmart or Target. But this Community Store has given Saranac Lake a booster shot of confidence. It has made Saranac Lake a shopping destination again. It has bought Saranac Lake 15 more minutes of fame.

When the New York Times covered the Oct. 29 opening of the Community Store, its Business Section story was picked up by media outlets across the U.S. It captured the attention of The Early Show on CBS. It seems Saranac Lake is not only the coldest spot on the Weather Channel’s map of America; it is also one of the hottest retail destinations in the nation.

“People want closer relationships with each other and with the companies with which they do business. They want a conversation. They want to be part of it all,” wrote columnist David L. Rawle on Nov. 15 for the Charleston Regional Business Journal. “That’s why the Saranac Lake Community Store came into being and will no doubt be successful.”

Saranac Lake’s store — the first of its kind in New York state — was based on another community-owned department store, The Merc in Powell, Wyo. It’s only fitting that the Powell Tribune pick up on the New York Times story and compare the two communities and its “sister” stores.

“As it happens, Powell and Saranac Lake share more in common than a community-owned department store,” wrote the Tribune’s Tessa Schweigert on Nov. 17.

“Both have a junior college. Both were named All-America Cities in the 1990s.

Both have populations of fewer than 6,500 residents. Both have a rural flavor residents hope to keep alive.”

CNBC.com called the Community Store “A triumph of main street can-do” on Nov. 14. Now Saranac Lake is gaining a reputation for fighting the Wall Street business mentality, and it is quickly becoming the poster child for communities that fought Walmart and won.

Bloggers across the U.S. are relaying the New York Times report and asking readers what they think about Saranac Lake, its fight against Walmart and its decision to open a department store on its own terms.

Comments on a recent blog posting at Glamour magazine’s website have been positive: “This is the coolest thing I’ve read in weeks.”

“Capitalism at its best!”

“Amazing! Good for them. Wish we could all do that.”

Saranac Lake’s Community Store success has triggered a dialogue among small-town residents thinking about their own situations. Powell may have been Saranac Lake’s inspiration, but Saranac Lake is now poised to be an inspiration to many other American communities. And Community Store owners did this despite the recession, despite the failed actions of our federal government to stimulate the economy, and despite the big-box culture engrained in our society today.

Now people from around the country will be visiting the Adirondack Park to see the Community Store and discover everything else this region has to offer. Saranac Lake has once again proven why it was named an All-America City in 1998.

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

Telling the stories of local communities W

hen I consider “The Burgh” and the “North Countryman,” the first word that comes to mind is community, a voice for the people, telling their stories. As I replace Senior Editor Jeremiah S. Papineau, I do not take that consideration lightly.

I’ve spent the past 13 years as a journalist, first in Vermont, and then nearly 12 years with the Press-Republican, the past 11 tackling the education beat. As the education reporter, I told people’s stories too, relaying to readers educational issues and, most importantly, telling the stories of parents, students, educators and the community as they pertained to education.

Now, I once again find myself a storyteller, among the many other responsibilities in my new role with Denton Publications, including, but not limited to, pagination, web updates, photography, public relations and cultivating new writers. But the hat I am most excited about wearing is that of storyteller.

I believe the community feels a sense of ownership when it comes to “The Burgh” and the “North Countryman,” knowing as they pick up and read their weeklies that the

staff behind the product works doggedly for them.

After all, it is their stories, their victories, defeats, sorrows, joys, struggles and dreams that are reported in both publications each week. When people set either paper aside after reading it, they should feel they spent time with a friend, Stephen Bartlett family even, as they relate From the Editor’s Desk to the stories told by Denton Publications’ staff.

I am eager and excited about stepping up and telling those stories as I join a team I know cares deeply about the community it serves. I am eager to learn the community’s stories and excited to write them and want nothing less than the community to feel they spent time with a friend after reading my stories and editorials, perhaps a friend that angers them, makes them cry and laugh and swell with pride and dreams.

My family has experienced its share of laughing, swelling with pride and pondering dreams as I take this next step. My fiance, Erica, and my children, Darby and Samuel are equally as eager for me to continue telling stories, because while the names may not be the same, in a way, the stories I tell are also their stories.

I know the importance of the task ahead and don’t take lightly the responsibility of telling the community’s stories, nor does Denton Publications. This organization takes pride in delving into communities such as Mooers, Rouses Point, Peru, Beekmantown, Altona and Plattsburgh, familiarizing itself with the people and reporting the issues affecting them.

I am pleased to join the Denton family, passionate about my new role and humbled to know readers will pick up “The Burgh” and the “North Countryman” each week and read their stories, which I will objectively report to the best of my ability.

Black Friday blues

probably don’t need, to reflect on what stores and Internet websites you are going to hit first and get away to Plattsburgh because the stores are opening at midnight.

I have been through one Black Friday in my life. It was two or three years ago when I decided that I needKeith Lobdell ed to get some “extra credThe Lobster Tank it” at home and told my wife that I would go shopping with her.

So, after a day of spending time at almost every family member ’s home, eating plenty of good food, watching a little football and cozying in for the night, I did what anyone else would who had a long weekend in front of them — set my alarm for 2 a.m., which came about four hours after I set it.

Then it was off to the mall, where we parked in an already crowded lot and made our way to the front of the store. Then all the way to the side of the store. Then all the way to the back of the store. Then a little ways behind the store (mind you, this is outside the store at 3 a.m. in the morning — and not with the mild weather we are having this year).

Once the store opened after what seemed to be another hour of waiting, the shopping experience actually was not that bad. I was never tripped, ran over, maced, pepper sprayed or tazed.

But then came the line. It wrapped around three corners of the store and almost put you back where you came in.

This was when I decided I needed a bathroom break, opt-

ing to use the bathroom that was the farthest away from where I was in the mall so I could enjoy a “short walk.”

My wife was a little concerned that it took me an hour to go to the rest room and back, but at least she had gotten halfway to the checkout counter.

Eventually, we found our way out of that store and went to a couple of others, where the lines were much shorter because everyone had already made it through the initial surge.

This year, I was reminded that I had said at that point that we might do it every other year or something like that.

My initial thought was to siphon the gas tanks in the cars and bury my wallet.

F

rom Nov. 24 until the ringing in of the New Year, I find that it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

With the exception of one day.

Black Friday is the most dreadful time of the year.

I fully realize that it has almost become an economic barometer for the country, but at what cost?

This year, people were robbed at gunpoint, walked over (no, I mean literally walked over — people stepped on top of other people) and even pepper sprayed by those looking for a cheap deal on an item that they may have not bought if it were not on sale.

Really?

The crazy part about the whole phenomenon of Black Friday is that it gets worse every year, because the best YouTube videos come from people behaving badly on Black Friday.

And now, Black Friday is morphing into dark gray Thursday. There were stores that were offering deals on Thanksgiving night. Are you kidding me? This has become such a big deal that we now have to extend the most commercial of commercial holidays (be honest, that is what Black Friday has basically become) into an actually holiday that may very well be considered one of the most sacred?

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and to be grateful to God (yeah, I said it, but I also think the whole Obama thing is being blown just a wee bit out of proportion — okay, way out of proportion) for what we have as a family.

It’s a day to reflect, spend time with loved ones and get away from the world. It’s not a time to give thanks to the advertisements for showing you what you could have but

To the Burgh Your editorial on Satur day was headlined “Help a community under siege.” That’s exactly what we are trying to do. Yet you criticized our new organization, the Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates, for working against the best interests of Tupper Lake. You rightly characterize Tupper Lake as suffering economically, but you sure got it wr ong when you accused ARTA of throwing up roadblocks to economic progress in that hard-pressed village.

What ARTA wants is to convert the railway from Lake Placid to Tupper Lake into a recreational trail that will commercially benefit the Tri-Lakes Area and enable Tupper Lake to become, at long last, the tourist destination it needs and deserves to be.

If the tracks are removed, as we advocate, and the rail bed is surfaced with compacted cr ushed limestone, the 34-mile r ecreation trail connecting Tupper with Saranac Lake and Lake Placid could attract tens of thousands of cyclists every year , maybe even hundreds of thousands to judge by the success of similar rail-trails in other parts of the country. Such a trail would also attract r unners, strollers, bir dwatchers, handicapped users, families with young kids, the elderly, athletes in training, and nature lovers of all kinds.

In the winter, without the train tracks to impede them, the number of days that snowmobilers could use the corridor would likely double, a big step in making Tupper Lake a hub for snowmobiling.

Other rail-to-trail conversions have produced millions of dollars in tourist spending every year. There’s no reason to doubt that this trail, which could be one of the most scenic ecreational r trails in the eastern United States, would be any different.

Conversely, the tourist train that operates between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake has produced no measurable economic benefits during the eleven years it has been unning. r It’s hard to believe that extending the train service the next 25 miles to Tupper Lake would make it any more successful in terms of stimulating the local economy. (The idea of building a separate trail alongside the tracks om fr Placid to Tupper, as the railroad people now propose as a “compromise,” is totally impractical from both a financial and environmental standpoint.

You may disagree with our preferred use of this travel corridor, and you may feel as some (but by no means all) Tupper Lakers do that the best futur e for the corridor is to continue the train fr om Saranac to Tupper. That’s fine, especially if you can pr ovide solid facts to back up your position. But to impugn the motives of an organization that is devoted to creating a rail-trail that could only improve the economic condition of the region is irresponsible, shootfrom-the hip editorializing.

tle of Plattsburgh which was very much appreciated.

I have begun meetings with Mike Perrotte and Airborne Speedway staff regarding the 2012 SnoCross Event which is scheduled to be bigger and better than last year. The Holiday Train arrived in the area which attracts thousands of people along its route each year. I was invited to Yando’s Supermarket by Kimberly Bouissey and her Momot Elementary School Class to visit with our special Veteran’s as the students did some food shopping. Believe it or not, Mayor’s Cup meetings have begun. And, the Common Council is finalizing their 2012 budget which will be voted no later than the second Thursday in January of 2012.

I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As we all move forward, I am confident 2012 will be more positive despite the many challenges the North Country residents have faced this past year. My best to you all!

Shared Services from page 1 through Champlain Valley Educational Services.

“Peru experienced a retirement this school year and we are sharing that essential function between two school districts, and so far it is working well,” Scott said. “The fact two districts can work together and find ways to streamline, it is virtually reducing the cost by 50 percent.”

That’s vital for school districts that have faced thr ee years of frozen or r educed aid, which at Per u resulted in a $41.4 million budget budget passed this past May that axed 15 positions under $1.15 million in cuts.

“In addition to sharing payroll services between two districts,” Scott said, “we are doing it through BOCES, because our districts receive BOCES aid for a portion of that essential service.”

Saranac and Peru further share a hockey team.

“It is a well-r eceived partnership that af fords both districts the capacity to provide a hockey program.”

This will be a particularly challenging budget year , Scott said, and school districts should explore sharing services whenever it is feasible.

But for services, such as back-office functions, it is important to consider doing so when a position opens thr ough attrition, Scott

said.

“When you lay someone off you add to unemployment,” pointed out Saranac Central School Superintendent Kenneth Cringle.

A year ago, the district attempted to shar e buildings and grounds services, but Cringle said that endeavor pr oved too ambitious for one individual.

Sharing a payroll clerk with Peru has been a healthy erlationship, he said.

Saranac also partners with Plattsburgh City Schools by sharing a consultant for teacher evaluations.

School districts across the country that received Race to the Top funding must adopt tougher standar ds for teacher and principal evaluations. Federal grant money covers some of the cost, but ultimately, it has become an unfunded mandate for school districts.

Cringle said sharing a consultant with Plattsbur gh City School will be cost effective and produce a better product.

Saranac Central School is considering further mer gers, including sharing a business administrator with a neighboring district to complete internal audits.

Cringle predicts another tough budget year that will r esult in soaring costs and dwindling revenues.

Saranac faced a $3.8-million budget deficit due to escalating costs

and a $2.1 million state-aid shortfall as it began crafting its spending plan last year. The district had planned to eliminate more than a dozen positions and make program cuts until the faculty volunteered significant financial concessions that totaled mor e than $500,000.

But costs continue to rise and schools know the state doesn’t have enough funds in its coffers to remedy looming budget deficits.

“More and more schools and local governments ar e looking to share services as a way to control or even cut costs,” said Sen. Betty Little. “These types of agr eements and collaborations have existed for years. However , financial pr essure is af fecting everyone as the economy continues to str uggle so we’r e seeing mor e of an interest in sharing services.”

“Most athletes are returning with a couple promising newcomers,” head coach Chad Dupr ey said. “Spar e conversions ar e key to any bowling contest and is something that we could improve on. If all bowlers can im-

prove their average at the end of the season, that would be a success for me.”

Duprey said that there are some key players that will be called on thr oughout the season.

“Sophomore Brittany Bushey is an All-Section Team bowler that was in the state competition the last couple years. Seventh grader Briaunna Varno is a newcomer, but will be one to watch as she starts high school bowling.”

“We expect to be competing every night,” head coach John Clemons said. “Our strengths ar e team chemistry , athleticism, height and speed.”

Clemons said that the team needs to continue to develop the chemistry thr oughout the season and must work to progress.

“We need to be successful by working hard day in and day out,” Clemons said. “W e

want to always be trying to get better.”

Senior Mike Holdridge will be seen as a key contributor for the Indians, along with juniors Tim Remillard and Hunter Bruno.

Other seniors on the r oster include Connor Good, T yler Murphy , Ben Chen and Chris Thomas. Juniors include Nick Demarais, Alex Barr ett, Lucas Kelly and Br et Boyer. Conor Casey and Mackenzie McKethan round out the roster as sophomores.

chemistry and playing as a team. W e will be working hard and always trying to get better.”

Residents say Plattsburgh must find its rhythm

By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Plattsbur gh is a scenic metropolis that is not so big it pr events residents from getting to know their community.

It also needs a music venue.

That sentiment, and others, were shared by residents when asked by Denton Publications what they appreciated most about the City of Plattsburgh and what they thought was lacking.

“If they want to put Plattsburgh on the map, they need to get mor e people her e in the summer ,” said Sandy St. Germaine, taking a brief break fr om r enovating a local apartment complex. “It would bring money in.”

St. Germaine said she enjoys events in Plattsburgh surrounding the Fourth of July , as well as the Mayor ’s Cup and appr eciates the city’s small size.

But it’s lacking r ock and r oll, said St. Germaine, quickly adding

with a grin that she’s not opposed to country, some jazz and classical music.

“They are no music venues,” she said, wide-eyed. “They also need more outside venues and activities so people can walk thr ough town and shop.”

Jason Herwick comes fr om a small town, so Plattsburgh is actually lar ge for him. Still, he r ecognizes it is a small city and closeknit.

But as he walked briskly down Bridge Str eet, he said he doesn’t feel there’s much to do besides the bars and the mall.

“You feel safe her e,” said Lindsey Shumway, walking beside Herwick. “It’s a very good community.”

She enjoys the close proximity to hiking trails and the quiet, scenic appeal.

But she also felt ther e wasn’t much to do in Plattsburgh.

She stopped on the bridge, smiled and said, “Maybe they

could add a club that played jazz, or a theater and music venue.”

Around the corner on Mar garet Street, Jay Ormsby chatted with customers and whipped up mochas and lattes at his job at Kof fee Kat in downtown Plattsburgh.

During the calm between the rush, Ormsby noted that Plattsburgh’s small size pr ovides him the opportunity to get to know his community. At the same time, he said, it’s big enough, so it’s not so boring.

“People seem to have time for each other,” he said.

But like others, Ormsby said, Plattsburgh’s residents need mor e options and variety.

Plattsburgh needs more destinations, shops, r estaurants, money, airlines at Plattsburgh International Airport, industries, a subway system, and jobs, Ormsby said.

“Plattsburgh needs mor e things to boost the economy. And it needs more musical venues.”

Jay Ormsby makes a customer a mocha drink at the Koffee Kat on Margaret Street in Plattsburgh. Ormsby appreciates Plattsburgh’s small size and sense of community.
