The battle that took place before PlattsburghBEEKMANTOWN — The British gathered a large army at

Chambly, Quebec, just north of the border, a buildup that,by August 1814, had reached approximately 16,000 underthe command of General Sir George Prevost.

There were 3,400 soldiers left in Plattsburgh under thecommand of Macomb, and of those, only 1,500 were effec-tive fighting men.

British advance units crossed the border to Champlain atthe end of August, 1814.

“It is the first of September, and here they come,” saidCol. David Fitz-Enz, a retired military man, author and lec-turer.

Fitz-Enz narrated a re-enactment of the first War of 1812battle in Clinton County in Beekmantown.

The British Army of 11,000 under Prevost massed atChamplain and marched toward Plattsburgh.

PLATTSBURGH — Soldiers marched in columns past the Cham-plain monument in Plattsburgh, stopped within 100 yards of theenemy near the edge of Lake Champlain and fired, the smoke fromtheir weapons reaching past the barrels as if to claim those stillstanding.

On Lake Champlain, the blast of cannons echoed across the wa-ters, nearly covered by the fog of war.

It was 2012, but on that day, Plattsburgh stepped back to 1814and the battle that became one of the decisive factors of the War of1812.

“The battles took place for a two-and-a- half to three-hour peri-od,” said Keith Herkalo, Plattsburgh City Clerk, historian, authorand narrator for the Battle of Plattsburgh re-enactment.

“Everyone thinks the most important battle of 1812 was New Or-leans, but it was a diversion. The British didn’t want it.”

The British sent 16,000 troops to North America and instructionsto Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost to invade American ter-ritory.

Prevost advanced down Lake Champlain, fighting briefly inBeekmantown in early September as he headed for Plattsburghwith 11,000 troops.

The British navy was to take control of Lake Champlain.In late August, Major General George Izard had taken about

4,000 American troops to reinforce Sackett’s Harbor, leavingBrigadier General Alexander Macomb in command at Plattsburghwith 1,500 American regulars. Most of them were recruits and in-valids.

General Benjamin Mooers called on militia from Vermont and

New York, although those men were largely untrained.Plattsburgh’s residents, nearly all 3,000 of them, fled the city.On Sept. 11, 1814, at around 9 a.m., the British squadron attacked

American ships on Lake Champlain. British naval squadron com-mander, Captain George Downie, was quickly killed.

British gunboats withdrew and British officers surrendered.“There were 10 gunboats on each side, and none of them sank,”

Herkalo said.Many of the British dead are to this day buried at a mass grave

on Crab Island.Prevost’s attack was to begin when the naval battle started but

got underway about an hour later than planned.The Americans gained an early advantage.As Red Coats fell during the re-enactment in Plattsburgh, peo-

ple from the crowd, the smell of gunpowder in their nostrils, shout-ed, “We got one. We got one. Finish them off.” Seemingly in re-sponse, more bodies fell as drums pushed the soldiers forward andchildren laughed with their parents.

During the real battle, when Prevost learned Downie’s ship hadbeen defeated, he called retreat, knowing any further attack wasworthless without naval support.

The Battle of Plattsburgh ended the final invasion of the north-ern states during the War of 1812.

America used the victory at Plattsburgh to demand exclusiverights to Lake Champlain and deny the British exclusive rights tothe Great Lakes.

The victory at Plattsburgh and British failure at Baltimore pre-vented the British from making demands for territorial gains in theTreaty of Ghent.

“Plattsburgh was the most important battle in the War of 1812,”Herkalo said.

As local school boards are con-stantly searching for areas tomake financial cuts with the

minimalist effect on student curriculum,more schools should consider consolida-tion.

Two questions that must be askedwhen considering consolidation are: Willthere be noticeable financial savings andcan the districts maintain a quality edu-cation?

Consolidation, though not always anideal aspect for some, is a logical consid-eration during tough economic times.The budget season was difficult for dis-tricts last year and districts will definite-ly be facing a similar plight this year.

Pooling resources doesn’t always re-quire cutting positions to make budgetgoals. Consolidating space, equipmentand practice space for student athletesand musicians would be utilizing whatschools already have while reaping thebenefits of cost savings, and keeping thecurriculum intact.

Consolidation is never an easy deci-sion. Schools are the center of our localcommunities, and taking that away is al-ways controversial. But dwindling classsizes and burgeoning property taxes de-mand that school officials consider thesedifficult options.

Take Putnam Central School for exam-ple, which had 35 children enrolled in itsschool at the end of the 2011-2012 schoolyear. Would it make better financialsense to divide these students betweenWhitehall and Ticonderoga? Or does aschool like Putnam offer a more individ-ualized education?

Keeping student needs in the forefrontis the first priority when talking aboutconsolidation or making cuts in any dis-trict. Consolidating an entire school dis-trict could also have major consequencesfor the small community of Putnam. Theparents and students could feel de-tached, and it would likely create longercommutes to school and extra-curricularactivities, with children feeling less at-tached to their hometown.

Decisions to consolidate districts arebest made on an individual, case-by-casebasis —what’s best for Plattsburgh City

Schools will not always be best for Min-erva-Newcomb Central School. Somedistricts in the area have growing enroll-ments and their resources, administra-tion team and facilities are being used tocapacity, while other schools might bene-fit from each other’s strengths.

Consolidation of administrative officesmight be more seamless. School superin-tendent positions could be mergedthrough attrition as officials retire or re-sign.

Another area that should be consid-ered is the consolidation of sports teams.Some local schools have such low stu-dent numbers that they cannot field ateam in every available sport. When theycan, they often are not competitive, oryoung athletes might not be afforded therest they need during a game because ofa lack of substitutes.

This season alone, Crown Point Cen-tral School’s girls soccer team, with just11 players, was nearly unable to beginthe season. The team was able to make itbut it was right down to the last minute.The girls in Schroon Lake were in a simi-lar situation.

Consolidating sports teams wouldsave districts money on equipment andcoaching staff, while utilizing a sharedfield would create savings and bringstrong athletes together to work hardand encourage competitiveness and en-durance.

Shared services could offer an alterna-tive to cutting programs in a school,while keeping staff on the payrolls andsaving taxpayer dollars.

Difficult times demand difficult deci-sions. As school officials enter anotherdemanding budget season, they musttake a long look at merging as many re-sources as possible. Nothing should beleft off the table — not even studying thefinancial benefits of merging with a near-by district.

Difficult times: Difficult decisionsNow that we’ve put the two national politi-

cal party’s conventions behind us, we canfocus on the next big events — the up-

coming debates. I hope you did as I did andwatched the conventions on C-SPAN, where the ac-tion can be viewed live, without commercial inter-ruption or biased commentary. C-SPAN allowsviewers to draw their own conclusions by allowingthem to hear and watch what they want.

Modern-day conventions are designed to be mar-keting events instead of a wide-open process. Rec-ognizing that each side plays heavily to their mem-ber base, I doubt either side did much to sway apreviously committed voter. I also doubt many un-committed voters will make a decision until closerto Election Day. For those who’ve made up theirminds, I’m sure the rest of this campaign season willreinforce why their vote will be cast for their candi-date. The spin plays to their heart, not their reason.

Based on statistics, the vast majority of us have al-ready made up our minds on which candidatewe’re going to vote for. It is possible that voterscould be swayed either way by the upcoming cover-age, candidate debates, or some national event orrevelation that could create a major shift in either di-rection, though.

More than anything we owe it to ourselves, thenation and future generations to do more than ac-cept the campaign rhetoric, and that especially goesfor those who are firmly committed. Vice PresidentJoe Biden recently challenged the press to “factcheck” his statements. I think that’s excellent advicefor each of us to follow.

A good web site is factcheck.org, a project of theAnnenberg Public Policy Center of the University ofPennsylvania. The site offers a quiz of the week,specific articles on the many speeches, Whoppers of2012, a Mailbag feature that allows an opportunityfor the public to present their points of contentionwith the candidates, the parties and even questionthe clarifications made by Fact Check. Another im-portant feature is called Viral Spiral, which is de-signed to put an end to the many inaccurate, andsometimes very old, internet emails that never seemto die in cyberspace.

If you have an email account you undoubtedlyknow someone who regularly sends you one ofthese pieces. They all sound believable, but all toooften the information is non-factual and attributedto reliable sources who didn’t produce the informa-tion, but that the sender, without checking, assumedwas reliable and accurate because it reinforces whatthey want to believe.

Another useful site that should be consulted isopensecrets.org, sponsored by The Center for Re-sponsive Politics. Opensecrets.org claims to be anonpartisan guide to money's influence on U.S.elections and public policy. They encourage journal-ists, activists, students and any other interested citi-zens to use the free site to shine light on the govern-

ment and those whowish to use it for theirbenefit. Opensecrets.orgclaims to be the mostcomprehensive resourcefor federal campaigncontributions, lobbyingdata and analysis avail-able anywhere. Theyprovide their findings to other organizations andnews media, and the Center's exclusive data powerstheir online features, which track money in politics.The Center relies on financial support from a combi-nation of foundation grants, individual contribu-tions and income earned from custom research andlicensing data for commercial use. The Center ac-cepts no contributions from businesses, labor unionsor trade associations.

Yet another useful site is publicintegrity.org,sponsored by the Center for Public Integrity. TheCenter for Public Integrity was founded in 1989 byCharles Lewis and claims to be one of the nation’soldest and largest nonpartisan, nonprofit news or-ganizations. Their mission is to enhance democracyby revealing abuses of power, corruption and be-trayal of trust by powerful public and private insti-tutions.

Inaccurate and outright twisting of the truth is atthe root of so many decisions people are making to-day. The Media, Internet and Social Media are full ofinaccurate statements and information. It’s no won-der the political machines have become so skilled atspinning this stuff. If we continue to accept whatwe’re told without qualifying the information, weare the ones at fault for the direction this countrytakes. We’ve been told by both parties and eachpresidential and vice presidential candidate howimportant this election is to the future direction ofthe country. Both sides believe there have neverbeen such diverse differences between the two sidesand it’s up to us to ultimately decide. I urge each ofus to do our homework before casting a vote. Giventhe current state of the country we need to holdthese candidates and their parties accountable fortheir statements and actions. Despite what yourheart and personal convictions tell you to believe,we owe it to future generations, if not ourselves, toknow where the truth stops and the spin begins.

Many of you may take the position that sinceboth sides employ these tactics, what differencedoes it really make? Well, my comeback is simple:Until we know the real truth we will never be ableto put this country on the right path. If we can’t de-pend on our elected officials we have no choice butto take matters into our own hands and demandthey change their ways. If we don’t do that, then wedeserve exactly what we’re getting.

Is it easier and more fulfillingaround the time of the Mayor’sCup, Battle of Plattsburgh and

Fourth of July, a number of peoplevomit a chunky pile of ignorance andcruelty all around me. I try to avoidit, but it’s seemingly everywhere,and before I know it, I am swimmingup to my neck, and even as I sit up inbed writing this, I can smell thestench in my hair, taste it on mytongue and feel it layered over myflesh.

To this day I haven’t figured outhow to avoid the disease seepingfrom the mouths of these individuals.

And I know they aren’t going tostop, because they are compelled, byevery dysfunctional fiber of their be-ing, to detest what they have labeledthe North Country’s “finest.”

I remember the first few times Iheard this phrase and the venom andintense hatred that carried it. I won-dered if they were discussing a roam-ing band of pedophiles, maybe aruthless gang of sociopaths who gig-gled as they cracked the skulls of de-fenseless old ladies enjoying fresh airas they leaned on their walkers out-side the nursing home, perhaps aroaming band of meter maids whoseearnings were solely generated byticket output.

A shiver ran up and down my

spine and I damned myself for sell-ing my black 12 gage with the pistolgrip. How would I protect myself?My family?

But then I discovered who they de-spised, and I had to excuse myself togo vomit.

They were talking about — and Iapologize for the generalizations andpossibly offensive language — thepoor, uneducated rednecks andwhite trash.

Not the harmful, dangerous andmalicious bunch of these groups, butsimply ordinary poor, uneducatedred necks and white trash.

You see, the people they despisedcussed, were prone to excited out-bursts at times that made those cast-ing judgment uncomfortable, andthey dressed inappropriately.

Well, those were the claims atleast, and I quickly learned theystemmed from what the elitists haddetermined, for themselves andeveryone else, to be appropriate.

So I started paying attention, andquickly discovered that more peoplemake up the groups deemed disgust-ing than the actual dictators, thoughthat is how it often seems to work inhistory.

I deduced that, in general, thegroups did indeed swear often, didnot wear chinos and button-ups and

comfortably expressed their emo-tions, loudly at times, and in theatri-cal ways. I didn’t see anything wrongwith wearing dress pants adhering tothe social norms the elitists had cho-sen as appropriate, but I wonderedwhy they projected them on every-one else and judged harshly whentheir rules were broken.

It seemed as though, upon closeexamination, that those judgmentsstemmed from inferiority complexes,delusions of grandeur and intense in-securities, but I quickly remindedmyself I was supposed to be study-ing the poor, rednecks and white

trash. It didn’t matter that the elitistsseemed in dire need of loosening upand did not in fact have a monopolyon social norms, but who was I tojudge?

Still, as I overheard swearingamong the marginalized and so-called inappropriate discussions, Icouldn’t help but wonder who de-cided the “F” word should befrowned upon.

And in terms of inappropriate dis-cussions, I was at a local gatheringof business professionals, duringwhich one individual complainedthat providing employees with a liv-able wage and adequate health carewould cut into the three expensivevacations he took every year. Anoth-er bragged about backing politicianswho support legislation that oppressthe marginalized. Perhaps theyshould be recognized for avoidingcuss words and speaking “appropri-ately,” but their discussions sureseemed offensive to me.

Clothing norms consistently con-fuse me. Years ago I covered an eventon casual Friday in a T-shirt andjeans and was chastised by organiz-ers and other attendees. They wouldnot respect me nor take me seriouslybecause of my “offensive” outfit. Icountered I should be judged by mywork and was told to grow up.

Look, if you want to wear a suitand tie while shopping for under-wear at Walmart, fine, but don’tjudge someone you pass who iswearing torn jeans and a shirt with abeer can on it, showing obvious af-fection to his or her children whileyou play on your smart phone andignore yours.

Finally, I welcome excited out-bursts. I was at the fair and wit-nessed one man yell, "That sh*t wascool," and another say to his wife,"Yes, well dear, wasn't that an appro-priate color for that clown's outfit?" Iwondered if the latter was enjoyinghimself. Passionate outbursts revealpassion and that the vessel display-ing them has emotions. Plus, I likeknowing who I am dealing with andappreciate someone who vibrantlyshows anger, happiness and sadness.

I worry about smiles that maskemotions and intentions, subsequent-ly masking the truth. What if behindthat smile your demise is beingplanned?

I lived in a Kansas trailer court andhad great respect for my neighborwho had no qualms telling me hewanted to kick my butt.

No guessing involved there.

Ron

Mindy

North Country SPCA

Ron is a wonderful kitten that was a stray thatwas found abandoned in a trailer with his sis-ter Hermione. Like Hermione, Ron was cov-

ered in fleas,had a terrible case of ear mites and wasvery thin. Ron however, was severely dehydrated, hadsevere ear infections and an upper respiratory infec-tion. Ron was hospitalized at Champlain Valley Vet fortwo days, and now he is thriving and loving playingwith Hermione. He is neutered, current on rabies, hastested negative for FeLV and FIV, and is two shotsaway from being current on distemper. Won't you con-sider giving this young cat a chance in a loving home?

Our featured pet this week is Mindy, a gor-geous, tortoiseshell-patterned DomesticShorthair-mix who has bewitching golden

eyes and a sweet personality. Mindy takes a few min-utes to warm up to strangers, but once she does, she's abig, cuddly purring machine who loves to be held andpetted. Once she is in her "comfort zone," Minday isvery mellow, has excellent manners, and gets alongwell with other cats. If you are looking for a feline whois beautiful in both appearance and personality, Mindyis the cat for you. Why not stop by and spend a fewminutes getting to know her today? We are sure youwon't be disappointed.

To the North Countryman:It seems that this election will be about two competing philoso-

phies. The first one is the "Great American Experiment" of a free peo-ple, living and working in a free marketplace,versus a big govern-ment system with government getting more involved in more andmore aspects of our lives to "make things better" with regulations,laws, and reallocating of resources more "fairly".

The first one, the entrepreneurial free market system, based onthe worth of individual effort is the great engine that has brought usfrom a fledgling wilderness nation to the most vibrant, richest peo-ples in the world. It is a system where 300+ million people makingbillions of decisions large and small every day. This is what makesthe free market work, not a few dozen government experts decid-ing what is best for us.

With the power of our entrepreneurial spirit, this great free enter-prise engine over 200+ years ( with a few exceptions and corrections)has carried America on a constant upward path to a better life foreveryone. Even the poorest American would be considered well offin most of the world.

I'm not saying the government doesnt have an important roll toplay, it does. And it's roles are enumerated in our constitution.

The other philosophy, the big government system in recent yearshas been burdening that engine with expensive regulations, punish-ing taxes, and a strong demoralizing , left wing anti-business agen-da which slowing the ability of that engine to pull us all up that hill.Under President Obama, that trend has been put on steroids. It seemssuccess has to be punished, even if it means less jobs created. We havethe highest unemployment since Jimmy Carter in 1979. ( the REALworst economy since the great depression) 12% unemployment, 21%interest rates, and 15% inflation. Yer we vilify the job creators. Weraise taxes and redistribute the wealth. This only works until you run

out of other peoples money. (Margaret Thacher)Dr. Milton Freidman the great defender of free markets said about

Government control " if you put our government in charge of the Sa-hara Desert, in 5 years, we would have a shortage of sand."

Let's compare how the 2 philosophies have worked.South Korea, since that country was divided has boomed and be-

come a prosperous, modern nation. While North Korea has gonenowhere during the same period. Their people are starving in thedark due to complete government control.

Before Ronald Reagen ended the Cold War victoriously, East Ger-many couldn't even provide even the most basic need for it's peo-ple. I know, because my father was from there, and when he sent carepackages to his relatives in Plauen, his boyhood home, the mostasked for item was toilet paper. The second was soap. See, under freemarkets today's luxuries become tomorrows necessities, and underSocialism, or communism, today's necessities become tomorrowsluxuries.

You see, centralized government has never worked.West Germany on the other hand, became an economic power-

house, and when the wall came down, they absorbed the demoral-ized East Germans, and now they are the economic leader of Europe.

Another example of the power of free markets is one country dur-ing two eras. China under Mao was a complete disaster, despite com-plete control, and several unsuccessful "great leaps forward" overmany sad unproductive years where millions died.

Then after Mao, they let just a little entrenaurship in. Since thenthey've been the fastest growing economy in the world AND theATM machine to finance Obama's path to economic ruin.

Government makes laws and regulations to make things better,but often, unintended consequences of these rules make thingsworse.

Take the housing collapse,and the ensuing recession. Ofcourse, the blame was put onpresident Bush, because ithappened on his watch. Butit started with the "Community Developement act" in 1996 underClinton. This act mandated mortages to people who didn't have themeans to pay them back. The banks balked at this, saying they could-n't put bad loans on their books, it was bad business practice. Thegovernment said " Just do it, and Fannie Mae, and Freddid Macwould cover the loans the banks said "Cool, we can do that." So thebanks started writing risky loans, and more risky loans, and homeprices went up and up making more and more people wanted to getin on this great "scheme". we had a housing boom, but somethingseemed wrong. George Bush(the beneficiary of the boom) began toworry, and asked congress for an investigation of Fannie and Fred-die and all these mortgages,and mortgage backed securities floatingaround. Senators Dodd and Frank democrats in charge of oversee-ing Fannie and Freddie said "nonsense", and no investigation en-sued.when the house of cards collapsed, so did the economy.thoseresponsible took no blame. Instead it was easier to blame Bush, whoshould have pushed harder on the investigation harder, but thewhole thing started 11 years earlier.

One other exammple of unintended consequences is the $20 raisewe all got by not paying all our Social Security taxes to buy votes inthe 2010 election. It didn't buy many votes (thank God) , but it costSocial Security 16 billion dollars, and shortened it's life expectancyby two years.

One more example: The Fed has kept interest rates near zero foryears to stimulate the economy. It hasn't done much good, but theunintended consequence of this is that people who worked hard andsaved all there lives to live comfortably in their retirement are get-ting no interest on these savings. Thanks Fed.

PLATTSBURGH – Cindy Cordle survived23 years of abuse and a divorce providing es-cape as she moved from Alabama to Platts-burgh.

But her ordeal continued. Disabled bybipolar disorder and depression, mental ill-ness continued to brutalize her until shesought the help of the National Alliance onMental Illness, which has an office on HealeyAvenue in Plattsburgh that serves Clinton,Essex and Franklin counties.

“NAMI brought me out of a lot of it,” shesaid at the organization’s annual soup cook-off.

Cordle helped set up the event that raisesmoney for the National Alliance on MentalIllness, which provides support and comfortto those stricken with mental illness and oth-ers impacted by it and combats stigma asso-ciated with mental illness.

“Uniqueness is fine,” said Theresa Ben-nett, a member of the local chapter ’s boardof directors.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness,founded in 1979, is a nonprofit advocacygroup that represents families and people af-fected by mental illness.

The group provides support, education,advocacy and research for people and theirfamilies living with mental illness.

It has organizations in all 50 states, theDistrict of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

There was no signature fundraiser whenBennett started on the board the National Al-liance on Mental Illness of Champlain Val-ley. They wanted one that furthered the mis-sion statement.

They provide support and comfort to fam-ilies and say uniqueness is fine, so a soupcook-off started with categories for mostunique and most comforting.

Local businesses donate soups, and this isthe third year the event has been held dur-ing the Battle of Plattsburgh.

“Some of the soups are unbelievable,”Bennett said.

The event has raised $1,200 the last twoyears with more expected this time around.

This year the funds raised go toward theColumbia Teen Screen program.

Bennett said there is a high need for men-tal health services in the area. Services pro-vided by the National Alliance on Mental Ill-ness are free.

“We are very fortunate in our area to havegrants and an office and staff,” Bennett said.“We provide more services than most NAMI

groups.”Mental illness touches nearly every fami-

ly, she pointed out, and is recognized as adisability, yet there is still stigma associatedwith it.

“You can have a responsible job and havea diagnosis,” Bennett said. “NAMI wants toshine a light on it.”

The soup cook-off was an opportunity forthe public to show its support for communi-ty organizations that provide free services toall with a mental illness, said Amanda Bul-ris, executive director of the National Al-liance on Mental Illness of Champlain Val-ley.

Since receiving help from the National Al-liance on Mental Illness, Cordle has gottenover her fear of talking with people, foundpermanent housing and medical insurance,and volunteers.

“It is very rewarding.”

Everett Orchards is producingthe premiere hard cider ofthe North CountryBy Shaun [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — Everett Orchards has givenan edge to an autumn tradition.

The sixth-generation farm, settled in 1815, be-gan making hard cider in 2004 using Cortland andMcIntosh apples, two apple cultivars not oftenused for that purpose.

“The apples we started making the hard ciderwith are more typical of dessert apples,” saidcider maker Tom Everett, who co-owns EverettOrchards with Debbie, Julie and Bill Everett.

After attending a class about growing fruit of-fered by the Cornell Cooperative Extension in2008, Tom learned that cider variety apples,which are more common in Europe, are ideal forhard cider.

Now, Chisel Jersey, Brown snout, Kingstonblack and Hereford red streak are some of the ap-ple varieties added to Everett Orchards’ 185 acresof apple orchards.

The apple varieties fall into two main cate-gories: bittersweet and bittersharp.

As the names imply, bittersharp is a little moreacidic, has a sharper taste and isn’t as sweet as thebittersweets. The abundance of tannin in the fruitgives it its astringency.

“The cider varieties are exclusively grown forthe hard cider; eating them fresh isn’t very good,”

Everett said. “A lot ofthem are a little softer,almost edging towardmealy.”

Most of the hardcider sold at Everett isa mix of apple vari-eties.

“We don’t growenough volume of anyparticular variety todo any single-varietycider in the bitter-sweet category, so it’sall blends,” Everettsaid.

The only exceptionis the single-varietyKingston black, madefrom a bittersweet cul-tivar.

“We’ve found thatour old, simple cider the Mac/Cortland is stillpopular, but we think we’ve improved it with alittle bittersweet,” Everett said.

The cider is made in late October and ferment-ed through Christmas, and then placed into stor-age containers and aged for six months before itis bottled.

Currently, Everett Orchards is the only businessin the North Country to manufacture hard cider,which it sells from its farm market and cidery onthe corner of Rt. 374 and Military Turnpike inPlattsburgh.

The varieties they offer range from sweet to dry,

and two are naturally carbonated.For $2, visitors can sample the goods, but the

fee is waived if a bottle is purchased.In addition to selling hard cider at their store,

Everett Orchards will also be participating in theAdirondack Coast Wine, Cider and Food Festivalon Oct. 6 at the Crete Center in Plattsburgh.

Money from the event will go toward establish-ing signage for the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail.

PLATTSBURGH — On a mild Labor Daymorning, 5-year-old leukemia patientMatthew Wood of Plattsburgh courageouslywalked Main Street in Au Sable Forks wear-ing his Team Matthew orange tie-dyed T-shirt.

Four weeks prior to the walk, Wood wasdiagnosed with acute lymphoblasticleukemia. Since his diagnosis, his life and hisfamily’s life have changed dramatically.

His mother, Kasi Rockwell, said her sonwent from being an active young boy andplaying with his sisters to losing energyquickly and being unable to play like he’s al-ways done.

“Just the other day he had trouble gettingthe strength to walk a few steps and it wasunbelievable how he walked through thewhole parade,” Wood’s aunt, Danyle Rock-well, said.

Kasi said the news of her son’s cancer wasboth shocking and devastating for theirwhole family.

“His sisters have been there 100 percentfor him, going to doctors appointments andmaking things more comfortable for him,”Kasi said. “It’s just hard for everyone. Thishas completely shifted all of our lives.”

Kasi said she first noticed her son was sickwhen he started bruising in unusual places.The bruises were not the normal little boybruises she expected to see on her activechild. He was bruised in his arm pits and

stomach and when the nose bleeds began sheknew something was wrong.

“We took him to the doctors, and thatnight we were bringing him to Burlingtonand he started treatment, having chemother-apy injected into his spine,” Kasi said.

Family fightWood’s family, facing many unexpected

expenses due to his illness, are still facing along road to Matthew’s recovery. Kasi, whoworked at the Homestead Restaurant, had totake a leave of absence from work to be therefor her son full-time.

“His treatment has been ongoing with twotrips a week to Fletcher Allen Health Care inBurlington,” Danyle said. “He’s looking at a3-year treatment, there is still a long roadahead.”

Kasi said the support from the communi-ty has been a great help and she wanted tothank those who have helped.

“I never thought I would be someone whoneeded help from the community. I neverthought this would happen to our family,”Kasi said.

FundraisingAs his treatment had an aggressive begin-

ning, so has the help from the community.Danyle said she began planning fundraisingefforts immediately.

Danyle is selling orange and white tye-dyeT-shirts and orange wristbands, the color ofleukemia support.

She has also arranged several fundraisers,

including a bake sale outside the PlattsburghWalmart on Sept. 15; a single pitch softballtournament and bottle drive in Au SableForks on Sept. 29; a 9-pin “buy a strike”bowling tournament on Oct. 13 at the River-side Bowling Alley in Au Sable Forks and aspaghetti dinner on Nov. 4 at the Keeseville

VFW, 1390 Rt. 9. The Texas

Roadhouse inPlattsburghwill also host adonation nightfor Matthew onSept. 26. Therestaurant willdonate 10 per-cent of everyfood purchase

to support Matthew’s recovery for diners whomention the charity between 4 and 8 p.m.

Danyle said the support from the commu-nity has been overwhelming as she has re-ceived donations and sponsorship for eventsfrom many area businesses.

There will also be a tattoo benefit sponsoredby Marked Man Tattoo in Schuyler Falls onOct. 20.

“It’s a really different kind of fundraiser,some of our family members plan on gettinga tattoo of the leukemia support ribbon,”Danyle said.

For more information on submitting a do-nation, on upcoming fundraisers, or to pur-chase a Team Matthew T-shirt or orange sup-port bracelet contact Danyle at 524-4145 or goto the Matthew's Hope Heroes Facebookpage.

Oftentimes, buying a home opens up a bottomless pit of opportunities for projects and improvements. While some homeowners engage in differ-ent repairs and fi x-ups out of necessity, many others like to freshen-up their spaces out of personal preference instead of need. But even the most well-intentioned projects can be waylaid if budgets are tight.

What many homeowners may not realize is that there are many ways to make updates and changes to a home that do not require a major overhaul or a large price tag. The fol-lowing are seven projects that won’t break the bank.

1. Move around furniture. You may be able to change the look of a room without spend-ing any money. Interior design-ers know how to arrange furni-ture for maximum appeal, but the average homeowner can do it, too. Find a focal point in the room and angle the fur-niture toward it. Don’t make the focal point the television, however. Try changing the placement of chairs and sofas. Simply moving a curio cabinet from one corner to another may also make a difference.

2. Add lighting. Lighting at different levels in the room can create a vibrant impact. Many homeowners mistakenly put in a couple of table lamps and think that will be adequate.

However, properly illuminat-ing a room means varying the lighting to create different moods at different times. Plus, more light can make a room feel more welcoming.

3. Add new pillows or drapes. Changing a few as-pects of a room can give it an entirely new look. If you want to add a splash of color but don’t know what to do, think about incorporating some new throw pillows or change the curtains. An accessory here and there in a bright color also can incorporate a new hue without it being overwhelming.

4. Change knobs or small accents. Give a room a new look by focusing on the small details. Switch out cabinet knobs for something updated and modern. Take inventory of wall outlets and light switches and think about selecting new ones that coordinate with your home decor.

5. Use plants. Empty corners or spots you’re not certain how to fi ll may benefi t from a plant. Plants are inexpensive ways to add instant color and visual

appeal to a room. Plus, having live plants can help improve indoor air by fi ltering out con-taminants. A home with plants also feels more cozy.

6. Hang new wall art. It may be time to look at your photos and artwork and make a few adjustments. Finding new prints to hang could instantly change a room’s ambience. And you needn’t spend a lot of money on professional photography, either. Grab your camera and take a few close-

up shots of fl owers or take in a landscape scenery. Many of today’s home printers can produce professional-quality prints in minutes.

7. Try a new coat of paint. After you’ve exhausted other avenues, choosing a new paint color may be the new look you desire. Painting is one of the least expensive yet most dra-matic methods of changing a home’s interior. With dozens of hues to choose from, and new apps that enable you to take

snapshots of things in nature or in your life and match them up to a paint color, you will have scores of opportunities to explore fresh new colors for your home.

When you get inspired to make improvements to the home but fear how much it may take out of your wallet, consider inex-pensive tricks that can induce a big “wow” factor.

Seven inexpensive ways to update a home now

Throw pillows are accessories that can easily and inexpensively change the look of a space.

Beekmantownfrom page 1

Civilians fled Plattsburgh and orders were given to allAmerican forces to delay the British advance. The hope wasthis would provide enough time to complete fortifications inPlattsburgh.

“Militia are trying to ascertain how big the force was,”Fitz-Enz said. “They want to find out how many there areand where they are going.”

As Prevost’s army marches to Chazy, a group of a littlemore than 100 riflemen fell back, destroying bridges alongthe way.

The British army marched through West Chazy to an en-campment two miles north of Beekmantown Corners.

“Only 700 militia showed up,” Fitz-Enz said. “The restwere busy selling the British supplies.”

This was a small force compared to a British column thatextended 10 miles long, with women and children marchingin the end. They made up the auxiliary corps, taking care ofthe cooking, cleaning, medical responsibilities and more.

“These wives, women and children stayed with them forthe entire campaign,” Fitz-Enz said. “This was how war wasfought those days.”

The fighting began Sept. 6, as British forces hit the Amer-ican regulars at dawn, meeting the Americans just north ofBeekmantown Corners.

The majority of the militia fell back in disorder, leaving assome remained to contest the advance.

Fighting continued at Culver Hill, where Lieutenant Col.James Wellington was killed.

Regulars and militia retreated to Halsey’s Corners, con-tinuing to contest the advance. Roughly 250 men foughtfrom behind a stone wall.

The Americans fired their cannon and rifles, but theBritish charged with their bayonets and they retreated.

“General Prevost is getting frantic,” Fitz-Enz said. “He isnow more than five days from the border, and he knows theAmerican army is dug in at Plattsburgh.

“Halsey’s Corners is the last contact before the British en-tered Plattsburgh.” Col. David Fitz-Enz narrates the battle re-enactment in Beekmantown.

PLATTSBURGH – The War of 1812 was a “civil” war be-tween competing visions of North America, said Alan Tay-lor.

The historian and author of books about colonial Ameri-ca, the American Revolution, and the Early American Repub-lic spoke recently at Plattsburgh State, sharing concepts out-lined in his book, “The Civil War of 1812: American Citizens,British Subjects, Irish Rebels, & Indian Allies,” published byAlfred A. Knopf in 2010.

Taylor was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for earlier work.Taylor started by noting the United States was on the verge

of losing the war when the Battle of Plattsburgh helpedturned the tide.

“The Battle of Plattsburgh was very important but not wellremembered.”

He further pointed out that during the first two years ofthe war, the U.S. was invading Canada and suffering greatdefeats, a part of history Canadians remember but Ameri-cans have forgotten.

He stressed that his book is a borderlands history that at-tempts to avoid the Canadian and American patriotic sto-ries. Instead, it focuses on the remarkably similar people on

the borders who did not want to go to war.Taylor told of a British officer conducting a prisoner ex-

change who found it strange to find names among the Amer-ican ranks that matched those of his own officers.

“They read the same books and went to the same plays.”Saying it was Americans fighting the British simplifies a

war in which brother sometimes fought brother; the twosides at times were seemingly interchangeable.

The British insisted anyone born in Scotland was a subjectfor life, whether they lived in Canada or Ireland. The Unit-ed States was in the business of welcoming immigrants andmaking them Americans, actions the British said were fineas long as America understood if such a subject was foundon a merchant ship the individual could be confiscated forthe crown’s needs.

“A whole lot of people were being taken who were bornin the United States,” Taylor said. “The Irish were not hap-py about this.”

The British had suppressed a rebellion in Ireland withgreat bloodshed, and the Irish in America would end up be-ing about the strongest supporters of the war against theBritish. Irish Americans accounted for 9 percent of the Amer-ican population, yet they made up 13 percent of the enlist-ed population, and those numbers were likely higher as theyhid their identities because the British considered them trai-tors.

In Canada, theRed Coats’ rankswere filled withmen recruited inIreland, thou-sands of peopledesperate for apaycheck andfood.

“When Ameri-can forces in-vade Canadaand many getcaptured, theBritish made it apractice to listento their voices,”Taylor said.

Those sus-pected of trea-son could face atrial that couldkill them or jointhe British forces.

“Desertion is flowing back and forth between armies,”Taylor said.

Many Native Americans fought as British allies in hopesof rolling back U.S. settlements in the west. At times, tribesslaughtered each other during the war.

“People may argue over who won the War of 1812, butthere is no argument over who lost it: the native peoples,”Taylor said.

OBITUARIES


CADYVILLE — Dave Kimmel, a career mili-tary man, served in an elite anti-terrorism unitthat responded to the September 11 attacks,pulling into New York City early that morning.

By lunch, ordinary citizens filled the streets andhanded out water, inspired by a strong desire tobe part of the solution that tragic day.

“We are unstoppable, and we are indeed theempire state,” Kimmel said.

As he heads into the Republican primary withKaren Bisso, both hoping to unseat incumbentJanet Duprey, Kimmel vows to approach Albanywith that in mind: “We are unstoppable and weare the empire state.”

This is Kimmel’s second attempt at the Assem-bly seat.

The history buff said that throughout time,growth was preceded by improvements in com-munication and transportation.

“I want to focus on communication and trans-portation innovations,” Kimmel said.

Kimmel has significant experience communi-cating through broadband in some of the most re-mote parts of the country.

His goal is to build pervasive broadbandthroughout the entire district.

Kimmel’s transportation plan revolves aroundinnovation in the way the state builds roads andbridges. He wants legislation that allows for pub-lic and private partnerships.

He warned against settling for bridges thatwon’t meet today’s or tomorrow’s needs becauseof costs.

He would approach individuals in privatebusiness and allow them to, for example, share intoll receipts if they build the bridge.

Kimmel called for health insurance mandaterelief, saying there was an overabundance ofhealth insurance mandates that the business com-munity has identified for a decade as inhibitingtheir ability to hire, maintain employees andgrow.

“I have come up with an innovative plan,”Kimmel said.

He proposed that as long as a health insurancecompany offers a single plan that provides everymandate on the books it should also be able to of-fer a plan that has a baseline or portion of man-dates.

“The states growing in this country have abouthalf the mandates we have,” Kimmel said. “Thereis a relationship between economic growth andmandates.

“Health insurance mandates are out of controlin New York State.”

Kimmel would reign in the costs of Medicaidwithout alienating the people who need it themost. He said New York spends twice as much onMedicaid as California yet insures half as manypeople.

Something must be done about fraud, wasteand abuse within Medicaid.

Kimmel pointed to a New York Times reportthat indicated 10 to 20 percent of the annual billis fraud, waste and abuse.

“That is where I want to attack the problemfirst,” Kimmel said. “I want to build a non-parti-san coalition to see what we could do different inMedicaid.”

He would use the savings in Medicaid to cov-er the costs of expanding broadband.

“We need to listen to people, but there alsocomes some points as a leader when you mustact,” Kimmel said.

The Sched

Robert Zayas takes charge at helm of NYSPHSAANew executive director learns job as he settles in to unfamiliar territoryBy Rob [email protected]

ALBANY — Robert Zayas knows aboutmaking bold moves.

Growing up in a military family, Zayasbounced between Maine, the state he wasborn in, and Texas and Turkey.

The day after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks onthe World Trade Center and the Pentagon,Zayas volunteered to talk to an Austin tele-vision station about what he was teachinghis O’Henry Middle School history studentsabout the events in New York City and Ar-lington, Va.

After joining the New Mexico ActivitiesAssociation in 2002, Zayas remodeled itswebsite, directed the state’s high school soc-cer, swimming and track meets, worked asthe media relations person and established a“Life of an Athlete” program modeled afterthe prototype created in New York.

Now Zayas has uprooted his young fami-ly to the Capital District, where he has beenhired to run the New York State Public HighSchool Athletic Association.

Zayas, 36, said being named NYSPHSAA’ssixth executive director is a “dream job” forhim.

“I’m a big high school sports fan,” said Za-yas. “For me, there’s nothing purer thanhigh school athletic competition.”

Zayas said he wasn’t sure he would get thejob when he applied for it.

“Coming into a state athletic associationand getting an executive director ’s job is in-credibly difficult,” said Zayas. “To do thatfrom 2,000 miles away is even more diffi-cult.”

What Zayas had going for him was hiswork with the NMAA’s tournaments andwebsite. He increased the net revenues forNew Mexico’s soccer, swimming and trackmeets by lowering expenses, and he im-proved the organization’s web presence byredesigning the site to include more newstopics and game results.

“Every time he took over a tournament, hetook it to another level,” said NMAA Assis-tant Director for Marketing Dusty Young,who worked closely with Zayas. “Not onlydid he make these events first class, but healso did his best to cut costs.”

Zayas said he would like to implementthose ideas with NYSPHSAA, but his firsttask is to learn as much as he can about theorganization’s 11 member sections and theirneeds.

“I want to do three things. I want to listen,I want to learn and I want to evaluate,” saidZayas.

Before Zayas officially took over as exec-utive director Sept. 1, he spent the previousweek working closely with his predecessor,Nina Van Erk. The two traveled to westernNew York for meetings with the Section Vand VI directors, and Zayas went over therules and regulations with Van Erk.

“I have incredibly big shoes to fill in re-placing Nina,” said Zayas. “Just in the pastfour days, I’ve learned the amount of knowl-edge she has about rules and regulations isincredible.”

Van Erk, who is taking over as Section VIII(Nassau County) executive director, saidthere are certain aspects of running NYSPH-SAA she will miss.

“The day-to-day interaction with the ath-letic directors of the state and the varioussport coordinators,” she said.

One thing Zayas is learning is the finan-cial challenges member schools and sectionsare facing with funding their sports. Withless state aid and a cap on raising propertytaxes, school districts across New York arespending less on extracurricular activitiessuch as sports. And earlier this year,NYSPHSAA addressed concerns about trav-el costs to state tournaments – even floatingthe idea of a two-year moratorium on statechampionships.

Zayas said his goal is to make certain stu-dent-athletes continue to have opportunitiesto play for their schools.

“High school sports are an extension of

the classroom,” said Zayas. “You can learnlessons on a football field that you can’tlearn in math class. If you eliminate sports,you’re making the life of a student-athletemore difficult.”

“I would hope the economic climate (ofNew York) would turn itself around so as notto be a threat to the sports community,” saidVan Erk.

To address the travel cost issue, Zayas saidhe will look at where state tournaments areheld and consider centrally-located alterna-tives if there needs to be a change of venue.

“That (meeting travel costs) is always aconcern,” said Zayas. “What we want to dois ease those concerns as much as possible.”

Zayas is also interested in making the 36regional and state tournaments NYSPHSAAruns better across the board.

“One thing is you want the girls fieldhockey tournament to be treated the sameway as the state basketball tournament,”said Zayas. “You want everyone in everysport to feel like they’re being treated well.”

Another item Zayas said he wants to ad-dress early in his tenure is NYSPHSAA’swebsite. He said the current site needs anupgrade – one that includes more statewidesports news and the capability for webcast-ing state tournaments.

“I want New York to be one of the moretechnologically-advanced states in the coun-try,” said Zayas. “That’s what I want to doover the next three years.”

Young said Zayas’ work on the NMAAwebsite helped increase traffic.

“I don’t have the figures (number of pagehits) for the old site, but within the first yearof the new site (2005), we probably hadabout 600,000 visitors,” said Young. “Sincethen we’ve seen a steady increase, and it wasprobably around 1.3 million visitors lastyear.”

As Zayas looks to implement his changes,he said he’s aware there will be a learningcurve for him as he becomes acclimated toNew York high school sports.

“With me being so new to the state … Ithink it will take me a few months to fullyunderstand all of the various challenges,”said Zayas.

Young said he believes Zayas will meet thechallenges of running NYSPHSAA.

“He’s going to be a great leader,” saidYoung. “He’s always been someone the(NMAA) staff looked up to as being some-one who always knew what was best for thestate and its athletes.”

a winner. Rush suddenly learned he had won $5,000,000.Well, $3,309,000 to be precise, and which will be distributed in a lump sum, but the fa-

ther of two grown children isn’t complaining.“You always look to win the jackpot, but you never really think you are going to.”New York State Lottery officials presented Fortune with a check Friday at the Kinney

Drugs on Boynton Avenue in Plattsburgh. Fortune claimed the top prize on the $5,000,000Cash! Scratch-off game on Aug. 20 at the Lottery’s Schenectady Customer Service Cen-ter.

He joked about his last name, saying as a child he was called “fortune cookie” and“fortune teller.”

He has actually won thousands over the years playing the lottery, largely throughscratch tickets. He once won $1,000 in Vermont.

He only came to Kinney Drugs that day to buy laundry detergent.He’s fortunate rechecking the discarded, scratched tickets in his car has become ritu-

al.“I do that a lot,” he said. “I comb through my losers for winners I missed.”He rechecked this one while doing his laundry.“I thought it was a losing ticket. I probably had 20 or 30 other losing tickets down there,

and I check them before throwing them out.”A New York State Lottery Spokeswoman said about two percent of prizes go unclaimed

in any fiscal year. Last year the amount totaled $36 million.The New York State Lottery is North America’s largest and most profitable lottery, con-

tributing nearly $2.9 billion in fiscal year 2011-12 to support education in the state.The Lottery contributed $17,245,554 in Lottery Aid to school districts through Clinton

County during 2011-12.Fortune said his winnings will enable him to retire early.His initial thoughts about the money include donating to charity, helping locally and

possibly getting a new vehicle.
