BATTLE OF PLATTSBURGH

CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

PLATTSBURGH — Serv-ing people is a privilege,says Harry Cook.

“It’s all about learninghow to solve problems,”said the president and CEOof Behavioral Health Serv-ices North. “We all haveproblems and issues westruggle with in life.”

After spending a careerdelving into some of themost personal and painfulaspects of people’s lives, ex-amining mental illness anddysfunction and working to-ward healing people, Cook

New principal at Saranac Elementary School

PLATTSBURGH – Many people want tovolunteer.

Several agencies need volunteers.Yet forming a union from this want and

need is not always as easy as one wouldguess, resulting in frustration and unmetneeds on both sides.

That is why the United Way of the Adiron-dack Region has created the North CountryRegional Volunteer Center. The website willhelp connect volunteers with opportunitiesand provide organizations with a venue topost their needs.

“Volunteering is a huge help to non-prof-its, and it is a big part of the United Waymission,” said Larry Pickreign II, OutreachCoordinator for the United Way of the

Adirondack Region. “Most people don’t vol-unteer because they have never been asked.”

The primary focus of the volunteer centeris to engage volunteers and solve commu-nity issues. The goal is to include all serviceorganizations in their activities as well asprovide support to community organiza-tions throughout the state.

The North Country Regional VolunteerCenter encompasses Clinton, Essex,Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lewis and St.Lawrence counties.

The center fortifies the system for area-wide data collection that enhances advocacyefforts, case statements for founders and re-cruitment of volunteers. The web-based vol-unteer center matches registered volunteerswith non-profit agencies that have volunteeropportunities.

Supports incumbent DupreyTo the North Countryman:It has been my pleasure to serve in the NYS Assembly with Janet Duprey. Her integrity,

knowledge and intelligence make her the right choice for this position.Janet has the respect of all Members of the Legislature and works in a non-partisan way

to get things done. She is a tireless advocate for her North Country constituents and her in-stitutional knowledge of tough North Country issues is invaluable. Jan worked hand in handwith ARISE and the Tupper Lake community to push the Adirondack Club and Resort Proj-ect through the permitting process. She is a strong advocate for the local economy of all ofthe North Country communities and works cooperatively with federal, state, local govern-ments as well as the business, farming and nonprofit entities.

Janet is working closely with the Governor ’s office on North Country economic issues,sensitive Indian issues, education issues and many others.

Janet was instrumental in the formation of the Adirondack Caucus and arranged an ex-change program for downstate legislators to come to the Adirondack North Country to learnabout our issues first hand.

This gathering was a great success and those very legislators are now participating mem-bers of the Caucus.

Janet negotiated legislation that became law that helps families with autistic children toaccess health care coverage. One parent told Jan that it cost him and his wife over $35 thou-sand dollars out of pocket to get care for their autistic daughter.

I encourage all Republicans to vote on Primary Day for Janet Duprey! She is honest, ca-pable, smart and genuine in her concern for the people of the North Country.

The much-publicized recession ourcountry is perpetually trying toclaw its way out of has been a

talking point for political debates, ac-tivism, and partisan dart throwing for aslong as recent memory can recall. It is dif-ficult to know what to believe, and theonly thing that seems clear is that thecause of all the turmoil is firmly plantedon the opposite side of whichever politicalarena the person speaking swears alle-giance to. Meanwhile, as the politiciansand their media conglomerate counterpartsare deciding which $100 entrée to order,people are suffering in every communityaround the nation. To folks who must wor-ry about how to feed their families, thequestion isn’t really about who to blame;it’s about what we, as citizens, can do tobetter our own lives.

Fortunately, in the North Country,there’s plenty we can do.

In a region where the corn is aplenty,where it’s impossible to travel in any di-rection and not pass an apple orchard,where roadside farm stands outnumberstop lights, it seems unreasonable to pur-chase a tomato that was grown in Califor-nia and coated with chemicals so it couldwithstand the punishment incurred frombeing shipped 3,000 miles across the coun-try. Likewise, it seems unreasonable topurchase plastic furniture that was madein China when there are local craftsmanmaking furniture from local resources thatis sturdy enough to endure generations ofusage.

The idea of buying local is more impor-tant now than ever. To be clear, it is not topromote isolationism or withdrawal fromthe global economy. The intent is not toshut out other cultures or ideas. The goalof buying local is much more genuine—itis about making intelligent, well-informeddecisions when spending money. Yes, peo-ple can vote with their dollars. They canvote “yes” for supporting their neighbors.They can vote “yes” for keeping money inthe local economy. They can vote “yes” forknowing the products they purchase werecreated or grown in a sustainable manner.

And it might even help people savemoney.

Recently, national news coverage hashad a lot to say about farming. More than

60 percent of the nation, it has been report-ed, is still reeling from the effects of a se-vere drought. Crop yields are low, and as aresult the price of produce is expected toskyrocket next year. To add another kernelto the cob of distress, most of the meat thatis mass produced in the US is raised oncorn. Logic dictates that all of this will addup to an increase in the price of meat aswell. It sounds like another incapacitatingblow to folks who are already strugglingto get by.

The outlook does seem discouraging,even terrifying, but the solution to the ex-pensive-produce problem is simple. Infact, it’s all around us. Local farmers havereported that they do not expect the priceof their meats, fruits or veggies to increaseat all next year. It’s great news for anyoneliving in the North Country, especiallyconsidering the fact that the cost of pro-duce at most farmers markets is alreadyequal to or lower than the prices found inthe big grocery stores.

So that might be a good place to start.Sure, it’s nice to be able to buy a cucum-ber, socks, stereo and gun safe all underone roof, but now there’s a prudent, eco-nomical reason to try something different.

But there are other reasons, too, reasonsthat come from a place deeper than thecompartments of a pocket book. It turnsout, it’s a comforting feeling being able toshake the hand that planted the seeds yoursquash sprouted from. There’s somethingempowering about cruising past the fieldwhere your apples were grown, somethingthat imbues a sense of satisfaction as thefruit’s juices drip off your chin. Buying lo-cal is a movement, but it’s more than that.It’s a lifestyle choice that invests in the fu-ture of our region by supporting our farm-ers, thus ensuring we will always haveenough to eat as long as we live in theNorth Country.

And if that line of reasoning isn’t goodenough to convince you, here’s a little se-cret: the food tastes better, too.

North Countryman Editorial

This editorial is the collaborative opinion of aboard comprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst,Shaun Kittle, Keith Lobdell, Stephen Bartlett,Andy Flynn, and John Gereau. Comments shouldbe directed to [email protected]

Buy American; Buy localIcan recall many years ago as a young boy

questioning my father as he watched thepolitical conventions on television. He ex-

plained the importance of the conventions andthe position planks drafted by the parties. Iclearly recall him telling me: “Even if you areunsure of the candidate’s capabilities, you canbe assured of their actions based on the partyplatform they represent.” He went on to ex-plain that the convention provided party repre-sentatives the opportunity to position the partywith a balanced plan for the country that af-fected all levels of government.

Over the years that lesson has provided a ba-sis for trust in our government, but as time hasmarched on neither party seems to have a verybalanced approach, instead giving way to themore extreme opinions within their respectiveparties. Those opinions in many ways are driv-en by special interests and special interest is ul-timately driven by “money.”

From what I can see the most significantcommon denominator between the two partiesis the influence of “money” and the special in-terest that “money” represents. Both partieshave a tremendous need to raise cash and re-ward their major supporters. Everything sur-rounding the elections unfolding before usnow is driven by “money” and the influencethat “money” has on the legislation that getspassed, and opportunities that will be quietlyawarded to those who assisted the flow ofthose funds through the campaigns.

Currently the Democratic Party and Presi-dent Obama are attempting to make an issueout of the amount of taxes paid or not paid bypresumptive Republican nominee Mitt Rom-ney. Governor Romney recently stated he neverpaid less than 13 percent annually for taxes.I’m not sure I understand what the fuss is allabout. Who among us, regardless of your in-come, doesn’t try to take advantage of everyIRS deduction available? While Romney paid$3,226,000 in federal taxes in 2011, he also re-portedly gave $4,020,572 to charities. What theattack ads do not mention is Romney wouldhave been better off ignoring the charities andpaying an extra $1.4 million in taxes bringinghis total tax percentage to 22 percent of his in-come. Certainly makes for a less compellingcampaign ad, and Romney would have had anextra $2.6 million for his campaign.

Certainly someone with Mr. Romney’swealth hires a firm to work within the guide-lines of the American tax codes to pay no morethan is required to satisfy the legal limit. Mr.Romney is not to blame for the rate of taxes hepays, our government is to blame. So what isthe point of the Democratic ads that are run-ning? It would seem they want the American

public to be out-raged that someonethat rich would onlypay 13 percent, andthat somehow thatsupport’s the Presi-dents claim that richpeople are not pay-ing their fair share.Are we to believe that someone who earns asimilar amount, not through earned wages butthrough capital gains as has been reported isthe bulk of Mr. Romney’s income, freely paysmore in taxes if they are a Democrat?

The tax codes and the many deductions ac-corded to those of wealth are the doing of bothparties. I’m not sure I know anyone of Mr.Romney’s wealth, but I have known a fewwealthy people in my time and I have never,ever heard anyone brag about paying the gov-ernment more in taxes than they were requiredto pay. Most people with that amount of wealthgenerally donate considerable funds to charityboth to avoid giving it to government but alsoto support causes dear to them. When candi-dates have talked about changing the tax codesas Stephen Forbes did a few campaigns back orHerman Cain did in his run for the Republicannomination this spring most people, as well asthe pundits, dismiss the notion as not realistic(code for that will never fly). The tax codeswith all their loop holes have been created for areason and those reasons will not be easily al-tered.

The bottom line brings us back to the factthat this economy is driven by capitalism, mak-ing “money” the largest and most significantfactor in American politics today. Both sidescater to those who have it and the influence ithas on the outcome of elections and ultimatelythe direction government takes. The vast ma-jority of us during this election cycle wouldlike to trust what we are being told, but re-member it’s “money” that drives these elec-tions, spawns the attack ads and behind the“money” are the true influencers that set thedirection for the parties and their candidates. Ifyou are opposed to big business just keep inmind the really big business is American poli-tics. As citizens we may have the power tovote but the masses can be easily influenced bythe powerful super PACs and campaign ma-chines. Just be mindful of who you can reallytrust when listening to the messages that havealready begun to come our way and will satu-rate the media in the coming weeks.

Who can we trust?


Covering politics consis-tently sours my stomach.

Its seems substance takes a sec-ond spot to personal attacks thatborder on emotional abuse as faras I am concerned.

I recall covering a meeting onceand an individual loudly and ven-omously went on the attack, mak-ing personal accusations and re-sorting to name calling, as if in afit of rage.

If I close my eyes, I swear I canstill see the venom spraying fromthis person’s mouth.

When I expressed dismay I wastold I was naïve to the process andpolitics are tough.

I’m not naïve to any process andI agree politics are tough.

I simply do not condone thattype of behavior, unless, for exam-ple, it is an emotional reaction bya parent who just witnessed his orher child assaulted, somethingthat in fact can be explained bio-logically.

Plus, studies not only indicatethat the brain processes pain in thesame way, but that when it comesto the impact of pain, emotionaland psychological abuse oftenhave more of a harmful impact onpeople than physical pain.

So technically, if a politician isinflicting such abuse on someoneand says it’s all just part of theprocess, couldn’t I, as someonewho studied martial arts his entirelife inflict physical pain, the lesserof the two, and say, “Well hey, thisis just part of my process. Youdon't seem to mind hurting peo-ple.”

But forgetting that aspect of allthis nastiness, I always thoughttwo wrongs didn’t make a right.

I thought we modeled the be-havior we wanted to see reflectedin society.

I thought every action stood onits own. If this is the case, which Ibelieve it is, then it seems there isno justification for such petty andpathetic behavior from politicians

if their actions stand apart, to bedissected, independent of whatev-er actions may have precededthem.

Yet it never fails.My entire career as a journalist,

as soon as people decide they aregoing to run for some office, I startreceiving emails that claim he didthis, she did that, he is an idiot,

she is a liar, he is a deceiver, shelacks character, he is dishonest,she is a baby, he lacks morality,her ethics are comparable to ahardened criminal.

In fact, say the email is about acertain issue a politician took aparticular stance on, the opponentnever emails specifically aboutthe issue. The message consistent-ly points out how much of an id-iot and liar Joe is — using thatsort of name-calling and worse —before and/or after stating some-thing about the issue itself.

This has consistently made mewant to stay away from politicalreporting.

It has also consistently helpedlessen the shock and outrage overthe dysfunction in Albany andWashington, though only slightly.

Still, I do cover politics fromtime to time and obviously willwrite objective reports, just with abox of Tums nearby.

I have actually known some de-cent politicians who do not resort

to vicious attacks, petty name call-ing and bullying behavior that wetell our children to avoid, yet inpolitics role model for them.

Some of those politicians I haveknown not only stay away fromsuch delinquent behavior, theyeven stray from their party line attimes and vote from the heart onissues, in my opinion, doing whatis right instead of what their partydictates, or even the majority oftheir constituents.

Of course, their opponents, evenmembers of the party they belongto, instantly go on the attack, likerabid dogs, frothing at the mouthas they hurl insults from their psy-chologically abusive bag of crueltricks.

Thankfully, the politicians whovoted with their conscience remainstrong.

I just wish they would all re-main strong and quit acting likebullies.

Dear Style & Substance:

I guess I have made a huge mistake in becoming goodfriends with my daughter ’s “best friend’s” mother. Maybethese types of friendships are common; however, our twodaughters had a huge falling out at an overnight camp thissummer. Now I am having trouble with our adult friend-ship. The main gist of the problem at camp had to do withbest friends being exclusive or inclusive with others. Feel-ings were hurt and there ended up being a lot of drama.Do you have any suggestions of how to proceed?

This seems to be a very natural theme with adult friend-ships in that we are friends with the parents of our chil-dren’s friends, because we are involved in their lives andspend most of our available free time at events and sports.Keeping the friendships separate, without judgment can bevery difficult.

Some parents get overly involved in their children’sfriendships and feel that they have to “solve” the problemsthat naturally occur in growing kids. As children grow,they develop at different rates and pursue different friend-ships as their interests change. We best serve them by al-lowing to naturally grow closer or apart, with certainmoral rules in place; be friendly and nice, explain yourself,and invite old friends to become a part of a new group.

When a problem occurs, check your own child for moralbehaviors, and encourage apologies if needed. Encourageyour child to communicate in person (not through technol-ogy) with his or her friend. You and your adult friendshould allow the children the opportunity to work thingsout without interference - this means supporting both chil-dren. As parents, our first instinct is to rescue or “save”our children from uncomfortable situations. In reality, weare not doing our children any favors with this action. Allpeople grow from the experience of making mistakes,

apologizing, and forgiving. Relationships can weathermany storms when compassion guides this honest commu-nication.

You may decide that your friendship is worth keeping

after speaking openly about the issue. Be aware of howyou discuss what happened between your children and beespecially careful with the language you choose. Just likeyou, parents are very protective of their children and donot always see that their child is imperfect. If possible,lead the conversation to a point where both adults agree tosupport the children in solving the problem. If there isbullying involved, then it is a different issue. Childrenshould be protected from bullying situations while at thesame time given skills to negotiate a difficult situation.

You may decide that the friendship is not one in whichyou want to invest any more of your time and energy. Thisperson will most likely be a part of your life in some waysimply because your children go to school together. Somerules for you; stay polite, stay quiet, and politely keepyour distance. Don’t talk about the parent with others –this makes you look like a gossip and untrustworthy.

Don’t talk about your child to others about the situa-tion; this sets a tone of drama and unkindness for yourown child to possibly duplicate. Your child will continueto confide in you if she/he knows they can trust you toprotect their privacy.

A great rule of thumb that works with all relationshipsis: no one wants, or needs, to have a private matter dis-cussed publically! Good luck!

PLATTSBURGH — The North Country has extraordinaryassets and will continue to grow, says U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gilli-brand.

Much of that potential is due to our neighbors to the north,providing the North Country with what it needs to realizejob creation, she said.

“To be on the Canadian border is so meaningful,” saidGillibrand at a roundtable discussion on cross-border com-merce, hosted by the North Country Chamber of Commerceand held at Plattsburgh State. “We have everything we needhere to create jobs and to make small business grow.”

The senator noted that the Plattsburgh International Air-port is thriving.

“When I drove by the airport the lot was full.”Gillibrand stressed the importance of partnerships be-

tween business and education. Creating jobs and filling va-cant positions requires such partnerships and is highly de-pendent on education, she said.

Such partnerships create specific training programs thatboost the employment pool and bring business to the area.

“We need more funds for community colleges to train theworkforce,” Gillibrand said. “We have to do more to prepareour workforce for the jobs that are available.”

She referenced a welding program at Adirondack Commu-nity College that trained workers for Bombardier Corp. inPlattsburgh.

“Manufacturing around the state is struggling, but theeconomic growth potential is real,” Gillibrand said. “Weshould be building on our successes and assets.”

The North Country is one of the most beautiful places onEarth, something she said should be cultivated.

Gillibrand voiced her support for project labor agree-ments, which call for local union workers to be hired for jobsat prevailing wages instead of turning to firms from out ofthe area at lower costs.

“People who have used PLAs have appreciated them,” shesaid. “We will look for ways to encourage participants to usethem.”

Gillibrand agreed that infrastructure around the state isaging but stressed that “we cannot afford to raise propertytaxes, anywhere.”

“What we hope to do is a bipartisan bill that would createa vehicle for the private sector to invest in infrastructure.”

Gillibrand also discussed the Made in America bill, con-tending it was more cost efficient to keep jobs in the coun-try rather than send them oversees.

“The quality of work is better here.”Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) also spoke at the

event.He said the Beyond the Border agreement moves goods

more quickly through the border with the proper level of se-curity. Moving goods efficiently and security is somethingthat must be balanced, he said.

“We think it is important to recognize the impact Canadahas on our communities and the entire U.S.,” Owens said.

Farmers don’t foresee increase inthe price of locally produced food By Shaun [email protected]

NORTH COUNTRY — Recent rains have brought relief to localfarmers, who are persevering despite the dry summer.

In recent weeks, the national media have reported that thedrought affecting more than 60 percent of the nation has severelydamaged crops.

The dry conditions, which are the worst the country has seen inhalf a century, are expected to cause food prices to skyrocket nextyear.

But in the North Country, things aren’t looking too bad. Data collected by the Burlington National Weather Service show

that rainfall in the Champlain Valley has only been about 2 inchesbelow average.

Similarly, Lake Champlain, whose average summertime level is95.2 feet, is at about 94.5 feet, only half an inch below the norm andwell above the all-time low of 92.61 feet.

Local farmers agree that this year’s growing season has been try-ing, but not so much that it will raise the price of local produce.

Fruits and vegetables have been impacted, but good crop man-agement has kept the fatality rate low.

Darcy Pray, general partner of Pray’s Family Farm in Keeseville,has been farming for 28 years.

He said that maintenance of the farm’s 100 acres has relied onusing irrigation to make up for the depleted water table.

“There are three different irrigation systems that I use, but it’snot like natural rain,” Pray said.

Pray has faced some difficulties this summer. Having to pumpwater 12-14 hours a day overburdened some of his equipment,which resulted in an irrigation motor and pump breaking down.

The frequent hot days have also forced the farm’s pumpkins tomature extremely fast, and now Pray must decide whether to pickthem now or see if the stems can hold out until the Halloweenpumpkin-picking season.

Despite the hurdles, Pray said it would take a disaster, like a ma-jor flood, to cause prices to go up next year.

“We have vegetables shipped to us, so there might be a slight in-crease (in prices) in winter and early spring,” Pray said. “But therewon’t be an increase with local stuff.”

Linda Facteau, produce manager at Rulfs Orchard in Peru, alsosaid she doesn’t foresee local produce prices going up.

She has seen the effects of the dry weather, though, and so haveher customers.

“We’ve had people complain that the strawberries aren’t as big,and some of the corn is so sunburned people are saying it looksold,” Facteau said.

Apples and pumpkins are also smaller than normal.“As a farmer, you could just cry seeing the fields as dry as they

are,” Facteau said.Irrigating the 250-acre farm has depleted one of two manmade

reservoir ponds on the property. The job of watering the apple or-chards has gone to workers who would normally be harvesting andpruning the trees.

Wayne Ouimette, a field hand who is in his 25th season at RulfsOrchard, has been on the front line of reinvigorating the crops onthe property.

“We’ve just been rotating our irrigation from field to field asthings begin to wilt,” Ouimette said. “If we didn’t have irrigation,we would have lost 75 percent of our crops.”

Plants aren’t the only thing that have required careful managingthis summer.

Owner of Conroys Organics Simon Conroy raises grass-fed beefon his farm, and relies heavily on high-quality grasses to sustainhis herd of about 75 cows.

“It’s not a dire situation,” Conroy said. “The Northeast is such a green place, which is why we’re raisingbeef in the North Country.”

Conroy has 50 acres of pasture and 50 acres of hay land that heutilizes to raise his cattle.

The pasture is broken up into small plots, which the cows are cy-cled through all summer, and the hay land is used to grow grassfor the animals to eat throughout the winter.

Conroy said the pasture land didn’t recuperate like it normallydoes after the midsummer dry spell, so he was forced to dip intohis supply of winter hay.

But on a small-scale farm, adjustments can made.Conroy could buy feed to get him through until next spring, be

instead he will probably sell a few animals either for breeding stockor for beef.

Either way, the decision will keep the price of his beef from ris-ing next year.

“Our beef does cost the consumer a little more because it isn’tsubsidized,” Conroy said.

Conroy explained that corn is heavily subsidized by tax dollars,and since factory farms tend to feed corn to their animals, most beeffound in grocery stores is already partially paid for by taxes.

There is a trade-off, though.Animals raised on smaller farms have room to roam and graze,

are less likely to be injected with growth hormones and antibiotics,and enjoy diets consistent with their natural habits.

“When you buy local, it’s a more consistent product,” Conroysaid. “When there’s an E. coli outbreak it doesn’t affect us, and sincewe are feeding our animals high-quality grass, people really lovethe flavor and all the vitamins and minerals behind it.”

Conroy added that the nation’s drought, and the subsequent in-crease in food prices it might cause, are good reasons for people tobegin shopping closer to home.

“We live in a culture where family farms only appear in kid’s sto-ry books,” Conroy said. “When people buy from little farms it cre-ates a ripple effect that goes into making healthy communities.”

northcountryvolunteer.org.Funds for the center came from a grant established by the New York State Commission on

National and Community Service. There are 10 regional volunteer centers throughout the state.“The Day of Caring has been a staple since before my time,” Pickreign said. “500 volunteers

and 50 projects.“When this grant came through we thought this would be a great opportunity to expand one

day of caring to the whole year.”Many agencies need volunteers, and prior to this, when someone called United Way, their

name was taken with hopes they could be matched up with an organization.“This is a free list of agencies,” Pickreign said.Not only will the center connect volunteers with opportunities, there will also be training for

use of the web site.“We are still working out a few glitches,” said Kathy Snow, Director of Development for the

United Way of the Adirondack Region.The site will also generate a report detailing volunteer hours and number of volunteers, some-

thing that will be useful when writing grants.“The agencies just write down their needs and the volunteers match those needs,” Snow said.

“Volunteers feel part of the community when they do the work.”There will be training for agencies that wish to use the free volunteer center and its website

to input volunteer opportunities held on Aug. 24, from 10 a.m.- 1 p.m. at the United Way officelocated at 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh. RSVP the United Way of the Adirondack Region,Inc. at 563-0028.

PLATTSBURGH — It is the mostimportant event the City of Platts-burgh is involved with each year,said Mayor Donald Kasprzak.

The parade honors those whonever returned from battle, themusic could fuel its own festivaland at least one talk will feature aPulitzer Prize winning author.

Those details and more werehighlighted during the 2012 Battleof Plattsburgh press conference.Longtime organizers Gary Van-Cour and Kit Booth said there wassomething new and something foreveryone at the 10-day event thatstarts Aug. 31.

“We got a lot coming up thisyear,” Booth said. “There is a lot ofnew stuff.”

The British Invasion Dinner atPlattsburgh American Legion Post20 on Friday, Aug. 31, kicks the fes-tivities off. Reservations for thedinner can be made by calling theBattle of Plattsburgh Association at566-1814.

The cost is $35 per person and$60 per couple for the buffet din-ner.

“If you have period clothing andlike to wear it that is fine, but it isnot required,” VanCour said.

British troops marched from theCanadian border down, and moretowns are taking ownership of the

event, including the Town ofChazy. On Sept. 1, British troopswill camp at the Scott House onRoute 9 in Chazy, the site of BritishCommander Gen. Prevost’s tempo-rary headquarters.

That evening, Towne Meeting, alocal band that plays folk, countryand acoustic rock, will play atChazy Central Rural School.

VanCour noted that many “top-notch” musicians will perform inconcerts and shows. Some groupshave played around the countryand are big names in the music in-dustry, including the Cromatix, aband that has played with Bob Dy-lan and has been nominated forseveral Grammy awards.

Her Majesty’s Royal MarineBand will be featured the eveningof Sept. 8.

“The Royal Marine Band as be-come an annual favorite,” VanCoursaid. “Attend these concerts. Thereis something for everybody.”

Some of the lectures include DonPapson, who will discuss African-Americans in the Battle of Platts-burgh at 2 p.m., Sept. 2, at the Warof 1812 Museum on the Old Basecampus.

Pulitzer Prize-winning historianAlan Taylor will speak about hisbook “The Civil War of 1812” dur-ing a presentation at 7 p.m., Sept.5, at E. Glitz Auditorium in Platts-burgh State’s Hawkins Hall.

“You don’t often get this caliberof individual here,” VanCour said.

Booth said a representative ofthe British Navy would be at theevent, as well as four re-enactorscoming from England.

“Saturday is the parade day, fol-lowing a re-enactment in Beek-mantown in the morning,” Boothsaid. “This is where the firstbloody conflict took place.”

The parade on Sept. 8 will fea-ture more marching bands, musi-

cians and other participants. At thestart of the parade, the grandmas-ter car will be empty in memory ofthose who went to combat and nev-er came back.

The Battle of Plattsburgh activi-ties include more than 500 volun-teers.

“You have to have a large num-ber of people, and there is alwaysa need,” VanCour said.

Anyone interested in volunteer-ing can call 561-4039.

“This is truly a team effort, andwithout each part it wouldn’t hap-pen,” VanCour said.

Kasprzak stressed that it was a“world-class event.”

“It is something that is reallymeaningful for the City of Platts-burgh.”

PLATTSBURGH — Rasario Farnhan rode his bike north on Moffitt Roadin the Town of Plattsburgh shortly before dinnertime last weekend.

Suddenly, a vehicle hit the 28-year-old man from behind, sending himhurling from the bike and leaving him unconscious on the side of the road.

The vehicle fled the scene, and now, Clinton County Sheriff ’s Departmentis looking for information that will lead to the arrest of an individualcharged with leaving the scene of a personal injury accident.

“The Clinton County Sheriff ’s Department is investigating a leaving thescene of a personal injury car versus bicycle accident,” according to a pressrelease from the Clinton County Sheriff ’s Department.

The accident occurred on the Moffit Road in the vicinity of the south-bound on-ramp for I-87. Farnhan was riding his black and white ThrusterBMX bike in a northerly direction at around 4:45 p.m. when he was struckfrom behind by an unknown vehicle.

The force of the accident ejected him from his bicycle, and he lost con-sciousness along the side of Moffitt Road.

The vehicle then fled the scene.A nearby witness observed a white car, unknown make and model, with

a female driver and a child passenger in the area at the time of the accident.The child exited the vehicle and moved the bike to the side of the road.

Farnhan was transported to CVPH Medical Center for treatment of mi-nor injuries.

The investigation continues, and the Sheriff ’s Department encouragesanyone with information, or any autobody shops that encounter a vehiclewith front-end damage, to contact the Sheriff ’s Department at 565-4340.

New York requires motor vehicle operators who know or have reason toknow damage has occurred to property or injury due to an accident involv-ing the vehicle they were driving to stop and display license and insuranceinformation to law enforcement before leaving the area where the accidentoccurred.

Leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury is a crime pun-ishable by up to one year in jail, and leaving the scene involving seriousphysical injury or death can result in felony charges carrying a maximumsentence of up to seven years.

Hit and run laws arose from the difficulties early car accident victimsfaced in identifying perpetrators driving vehicles with no license plates ondusty roads while wearing driving goggles.

Roughly 11 of every 100 accidents will be a hit and run, according to theAAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

Between 2000 and 2005, the National Highway Transportation Safety Ad-ministration reported a 20-percent increase in the number of fatal hit-and-

run accidents involving pedestrians.Attempts to understand the mental state of hit-and-run drivers were

made as instances rose and were released in several studies, including anarticle titled, “The Psychology of Hit and Run.”

Most hit and runs are accidents committed by ordinary people who pan-ic and opt to flee rather than face the consequences.

They also could be holding drugs, uninsured, unlicensed or drunk. Of-ten, such individuals make what is referred to as a “rational” decision, com-ing from higher social economic class and believing they have more to losethan most individuals.

Then there are individuals who quickly speed away, not knowing whatto do as they make an “irrational” and “thoughtless” decision.

Again, the Clinton County Sheriff ’s Department asks anyone with infor-mation on the Moffitt Road incident to call 565-4340.

Law enforcement wants help with hit and run

PLATTSBURGH — Smiling, white facedclowns pumped out balloon animals.

Excited shrieks from the dunking boothpierced the air, anyone within a few feet wassprayed with water.

Cotton candy and fair food filled nostrilsas the Castaways took the stage, their musica two-step down memory lane.

But the best part for Richard Hameline, 86,was his grandkids.

“I enjoy it,” he grinned from his wheel-chair outside Meadowbrook Healthcare inPlattsburgh, the sun beaming brightly over-head.

The 200-bed skilled nursing and rehabili-tation facility has been holding an annualBlock Party for 10 years.

“We invite all of our neighbors so we canget to know them,” said Kim Clowney, activ-ities director for Meadowbrook Healthcare.

“We also do it to get the residents outdoorsand to bring the fair to them.”

The event included pie throwing, a dunk-ing booth, fair food, entertainment, a talentshow, carnival games, arts and crafts, snowcones, cotton candy, donkeys and more.

Activities are an important part of whatoccurs at Meadowbrook, which has been rec-ognized as the North Country “facility of

choice” for short- and long-term care since1974. Meadowbrook offers two to three dai-ly activities as well as bigger ones up to threetimes weekly.

Everyone looks forward to the Block Par-ty.

“It’s a great way for the residents to be-come involved in their community,”Clowney said.

Many neighbors, family members and

friends walked smiling through the BlockParty, participating in the activities, eatingcotton candy and spending time with a lovedone living at Meadowbrook.

“I have volunteered here for a long time,”said Patty Lafave.

She gets self satisfaction from doing it andalso knows many of the residents personal-ly.

“I have friends and relatives here.”

She helps with mass and said it is impor-tant for people to volunteer and pop in, evenif only for 10 minutes.

“Some of these people get lonely.”Cliff St. Louis walked with Lafave at the

Block Party, joking that he follows herearound.

“It is nice to get the patients out for freshair and these types of activities,” he said.“Five minutes can go a long way to changethese people’s lives.”

The Block Party is a wonderful event forthe children and makes them feel welcome,said Mary Ann Sorrell.

Her father, Hameline, broke his neck andlives at Meadowbrook after spending sometime at a facility in Canada.

“Dad just dunked somebody in thebooth,” Sorrell said excitedly.

She appreciates how open Meadowbrookis to the community, especially compared tothe “old days” when nursing homes weresealed off.

“They have been looking forward to thisall year,” Sorrell said.

Her children feel at home at Meadow-brook, playing Bingo and taking the backway up the stairs.

“I think this is inviting and turns peopleon to the carnival,” Hameline said. “Lookhow excited everyone is.

“They all want to be involved.”

Meadowbrook Block Party a slam dunk

WESTPORT — Board members of the North Country SPCA andcontractors had a quiet ground breaking ceremony at the site for anew shelter Aug. 14.

The ceremony held at the construction site on Route 9N east ofElizabethtown was a small victory after a year of planning and twoyears of fundraising according to co-chair of the capital campaign,Margaret Reuther.

“Building the new shelter would not have been possible with-out the generosity of nearly 1,000 people throughout Essex Coun-ty as well as other parts of New York and also Vermont,” Reuthersaid. “The tremendous support from our community has made thisexciting new building a reality.”

The shelter, to be named the Frances Miller Shelter after the moth-er of one of the major donors, is the only animal shelter in EssexCounty.

Each year, the NCSPCA cares for over 400 homeless, abandonedand abused animals, continuing its mission since it was foundedin 1969. The new shelter will offer animals a state of the art facilityto call home till they find their permanent families.

Reuther said the project is still in need of $50,000 for final con-struction costs but the group is faithful the funds will be attainedthrough fundraisers before the building is completed.

Earlier in the year the non-for-profit submitted a new set of plansfor the building to remain on budget and on time.

“We didn’t downgrade any of the plans we simply cut someof the electives we would have liked but didn’t need,”Reuther said. “All in all, we are on schedule to open a great

shelter for the animals.”

Healthier petsThe new shelter, with a capacity designed to meet the needs of

65 cats and up to 25 dogs will not only be able to comfortably housemore animals than the current shelter, located at 23 LakeshoreRoad, but should help increase adoption rates.

“Based on studies of animal adoption rates at new shelters, weexpect our adoption rate to increase 50 to 100 percent,” Reuthersaid. “We anticipate many more people will come to the shelter be-cause it will be a very welcoming facility.”

Reuther said the new facility will include an improved ventila-tion system that will reduce the spread of illness among the shel-ter animals, meet standards for animal care with isolation roomsfor sick animals and a room for basic medical procedures.

The facility will be welcoming to potential pet owners with ar-eas where people can spend time with a pet before adoption. Therewill also be another room for obedience and puppy training to sendanimals with good manners to new homes.

The property will also include larger kennel areas and a largewooded area outside for animals to play and exercise.

Individuals who wish to make a donation to help fund the finalconstruction costs can send a check to: North Country SPCA, 23Lake Shore Road, Westport, N.Y. 12993, or donate online atwww.ncspca.org.

Cookfrom page 1

is retiring from his role at BHSN.“I am turning 66 and this is demanding,” he said. “I am not get-

ting enough exercise, and I love the outdoors.“I want to take a breather and rebalance my life.”BHSN has over 14 sites which comprise its 25 programs and is

a leader in the North Country in providing behavioral healthcarefor children, adults, families and organizations.

Cook, passionate about social studies, history, archaeology andanthropology, majored in sociology at Penn State, graduatingwhile the Vietnam War, which he was against, raged on.

Cook joined what is today Americorps and drove to New YorkCity to volunteer in East Harlem amid much political chaos anddissent. He worked with a small group organizing tenants to pur-chase the building they lived in.

Cook worked on the project for a year, spending time on a vi-olent block and also delving into healthcare organizing.

Next, Cook worked in a maximum security psychiatric hospi-tal as a rehabilitation therapist.

“That was a great experience.”The population included individuals who had committed hor-

rific acts, as well as inmates who became mentally ill while serv-ing time in prison.

He became interested in mental health and attended Rutgers,earning a master’s degree in social work within a clinical pro-gram.

Cook became one of the early people to get involved with cog-nitive and behavioral therapy.

He completed an internship in Newark during riots and foundhimself a “drop of white in a bucket of black.”

Then he entered the public school system in suburban New Jer-sey, work he enjoyed, though Cook wanted to stretch himself.

He moved to the North Jersey Shore, spending time as a clini-cian in a mental health center in an upscale community.

At the Children’s Psychiatric Center Community MentalHealth Center, Cook did pre-vocational programming for a cou-ple years and ran groups around pragmatic learning.

“These were kids who had historically been institutionalized.”So he started with after school chores.“I can remember teaching kids how to mop floors in an organ-

ized way.”Cook was offered a job developing specialized children’s serv-

ices in the rapidly growing Jersey Shore area, starting as directorof children’s services. He started a day treatment program and aschool for adolescents with severe mental illnesses.

At 37, he took over as CEO of the agency, doing budgets by

hand for a time after the financial department was wiped out.Meanwhile, Cook got married, and when his oldest reached

school age, he realized he didn’t want to bring up his childrenthere.

“I wanted to get back to a more rural area.”He saw the position for president and ceo in the New York

Times for what is now Behavioral Health Services North andheaded north for an interview.

Cook knew instantly he wanted to raise his family in the area,and when he was offered the job he took it, despite a 20 percentcut in salary.

That was 1989, and today, his youngest is graduating from col-lege, another graduated from Clinton Community College, a thirdis working on a doctorate and a fourth wants to enter public serv-ice.

His wife teaches special education locally.BHSN has flourished during Cook’s tenure with a recent ex-

pansion of adult services at the newly renovated Center for WellBeing facility on Route 22B in Morrisonville.

“We have developed a lot of programming that is consistentwith local values,” Cook said.

His retirement is effective the beginning of 2013.A regional search is bring conducted for a new president and

ceo.“We want to thank Harry for his tenure as CEO of BHSN as it

has grown and strengthened under his leadership in its servicesto our North Country residents,” said Dr. Raymond Domenico,Chair of the BHSN Board of Directors. “Our hope is to find a suc-cessor as equally caring and experienced as Harry, who shares ourfuture-focused vision and our mission to strengthen individuals,families and community life with our multiplicity of services.”

Cook said he leaves as the healthcare environment rapidlychanges.

One of the issues that has driven Cook personally is the factthat people with any kind of vulnerability living in rural areashave higher rates of problems than those in suburban areas.

There are real challenges in rural areas, he said, especially ac-cess to services.

Much of the work requires a willingness to step back from one’sself to work around an issue.

“It draws you out of yourself and gets you up every day,” Cooksaid.

The economy also increases the difficulty of the work. Moneyis tight and with funding cuts, employees have not received rais-es in four years.

He has enjoyed the work and the challenges and is eager tohand it off to someone else.

“My wife says I owe her 30 years of backlogged housework,”Cook said.
