Multi-usetrail eyed between villages

CHAMPLAIN — CountyLegislator Harry J. Mc-Manus is reexamining plansfor a multi-use trail linkingthe villages of Champlainand Rouses Point.

McManus has approachedthe villages at their r espec-tive boar d meetings in r e-cent weeks discussing hisintentions to dust of f plansfirst discussed mor e than adecade ago.

“This was something wefirst proposed back in 1996when I was a member of thetown boar d,” said Mc-Manus.

SARANAC — The town ofSaranac could be on its way tocourt to pr osecute a locallandowner.

During his regular report tothe Saranac Town CouncilMonday night, Town AttorneyFrank G. Zappala gave thecouncil an update on a prop-erty that has been underscrutiny in recent months forbeing a blight in the hamlet ofRedford.

The property, located onState Route 3, is owned byJesse Reed and, as Zappalaexplained following the meet-ing, the issue of the propertybeing an eyesore has been on-going for several years.

“[Reed] has had business

activities going on at theproperty for some time,” saidZappala. “The issue alwayswas whether or not he was incompliance with the laws thatwere applicable to the pr op-erty.”

Reed owns and operatesRecycling T echnologies, ascrap metal r ecycling busi-ness, on the pr operty. Thematter of contention, saidZappala, has been the amountof “junk” on Reed’s propertythat has been dubbed an eye-sore by those who have com-plained about the matter.

“It’s been an ongoing, con-stantly changing problem thatwe have to addr ess periodi-cally,” said Zappala.

PLATTSBURGH — The T own ofPlattsburgh Democratic Committeehas announced its candidates for theNovember 2011 election.

Running for r eelection as Platts-burgh T own Supervisor is Bernar dBassett.

Bassett has served as supervisor forthe past six years and chair of the Clin-ton County Supervisor ’s Association.The incumbent said he feels it’s mostimportant the town continue theprogress b egun t o s ecure t he t own’seconomic future.

“As Town of Plattsbur gh Supervi-sor the past six years, I have had theopportunity to listen to the needs ofresidents and business owners,” saidBassett. “This has been an excitingtime. More important, we have begunto see the r esults that hard work andcollaboration can bring. I encourageresidents to drive about the town towitness the many projects that are tak-ing place. This is just thebeginning. We must keep the progressgoing.”

Other issues of importance, saidBassett, include maintaining an opengovernment wher e r esidents ar e al-ways welcome to attend meetings anddiscuss issues with town of ficials;maintaining a zer o town tax and op-erating town government in the mostefficient and r esponsible way possi-ble; encouraging r esponsible gr owthto create a strong tax base and qualityjobs that are critical to providing res-idents of the town and their childr enwith the financially secure communi-ty they deserve; and improving infra-structure and working to maintain thetown’s position as a leader and inno-vator.

“I would like the opportunity tocontinue to work for you as yourTown of Plattsbur gh Supervisor andto continue to work to secur e ourtown’s economic future,” said Bassett.

Running for town councilman ar eincumbents Martin Mannix Jr . andThomas E. W ood Jr ., and politicalnewcomer Mike Verville.

Mannix has served as a town coun-cilman for 22 years, serving 16 yearsas deputy supervisor.

“I am committed to keeping ourgeneral town tax rate at zer o,” saidMannix. “Budgeting is, in my opinion,a 12-month process. We have an atti-tude among our town departmentheads wherein they propose commonsense budgets and they know theirtown boar d will work har d to givethem the people and equipment theyneed to do their jobs. Everyone is in-volved in the pr ocess. That coopera-tive spirit doesn’t happen by acci-dent.”

Mannix said one of his major objec-tives over the next four years will beto build a stronger workforce withinthe town.

“We have done a good job of attract-

ing retail enterprises and we will con-tinue that; but we need to focus moreon attracting quality manufacturingand service sector employers. Thatwill produce quality jobs,” said Man-nix.

Wood has been a candidate for of-fice five times and won a race for afour-year term as a town councilper-son in 2003 and was re-elected in 2007.

Wood said the town faces many op-portunities and challenges which“will test our ability to cooperate andinnovate as a community.”

“I will continually strive to makegood use of our opportunities for r e-sponsible gr owth, pr omote higherwage jobs, upgrade our infrastr uc-ture, seek grants and shar ed servicesto keep costs down and be open andresponsive to the needs and desires of

the residents of our town,” said Wood.“We have made significant pr ogressover the last four years in town poli-cies, f inances, l and u se, j ob c reationand a long range vision for our fu-ture.”

Verville, pr esident of V erville En-terprises — a r eal pr operty, r entalproperty and development corpora-tion — said he understands the issuesfacing the r egion and will make“sound business decisions” if elected.

“The issues in the town are the sameas county, state and the nation face,delivering services without spiralingtaxes or the mountain of lar gedeficits,” said Verville. “The key tocontrolling taxes is r esponsible man-agement, promotion of the town andto stimulate economic gr owth. Thetown is a multi-million dollar a year

business, the taxpayers ar e the stockholders, the dividends ar e qualityservices and stable taxes.”

Town Highway Superintendentcandidate James W. Woods is runningfor reelection, stating he wants “tocomplete projects that had to be post-poned because of unforeseen weatherdisasters seen over the past year.

“One challenge of the departmentwill be maintaining and updatingequipment all the while staying with-in the budget,” said W oods. “I lookforward to working for all the r esi-dents of the town and maintain the in-tegrity of the department.

Town Clerk Rickey Collins is seek-ing r eelection, carrying with himthree and a half years experience inthe position.

“I earn a living based on how I de-liver customer service in a profession-al and friendly manner,” said Collins.“My organizational and communica-tion skills are excellent and my ener-gy is boundless ... I will continue touse my skills and knowledge to pr o-vide the r esidents with the kind ofservice they need and deserve,” saidCollins.

James D. Joyce is thr owing his hatin the ring for town justice. Joyce saidhe is “a strong believer in doing yourcivic duty.”

“I have been searching for a way touse my talents and assets to serve thecommunity. After extensive r esearch,I believe that this position is a perfectposition for me because of my experi-ence, education and personality,” saidJoyce. “I have all the qualities that arerequired to be an excellent justice. Ican be fair , firm, and consistant inmaking decisions. I am dedicated anddependable. I am honest and commit-ted. I have the experience making dif-ficult decisions.”

Joyce said he brings to the office “afresh appr oach and r enewed dedica-tion.”

“As the town justice, I will work ashard as possible for you the taxpayerand the town of Plattsburgh.”

St. Mary’s pastorcredited forcommitmentChamplainBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

CHAMPLAIN — The lifeof one of the r egion’s ar-guably most influential menof his time has not been for-gotten.

The congr egation of St.Mary’s Chur ch r ecentlyhonored the 100th anniver-sary of the death of the Rev.Francis X. Chagnon, a for-mer pastor of the chur chwho served at its helm fornearly 35 years.

The Rev. James A. Delbel,who serves as the curr entpastor of the chur ch, saidChagnon’s str ong visionshaped what the village ofChamplain, and particular-ly the church, is today.

“He was a r emarkableman in many ways,” saidDelbel.

Chagnon — a native ofVercheres, a suburb of Mon-treal just an hour north ofChamplain — was appoint-ed pastor of St. Mary’s Jan.6, 1877, said Delbel. Theparish which Chagnon came

to was a financially poorone, meeting in a modestand antiquated woodenchurch. However, the con-gregation was rich in spiritand determination, he said,as Chagnon soon led theway in raising money forthe constr uction of a newchurch which still stands inthe village today.

“He could have built anychurch, but he wanted tobuild a lar ge and beautifulchurch,” said Delbel.

Though it was a str uggleto raise the money for thebuilding’s constr uction,Delbel said the pr oject wascompleted before the turn ofthe century. The new churchnot only gave the congrega-tion a formidable place ofworship, but it also earnedChagnon gr eat admirationand respect, said Delbel.

“It was a tough time to bean immigrant in this coun-try. Diversity had not yettaken hold,” explained Del-bel. “The Fr ench wouldcome down from Quebec towork in the factories her eafter the Civil W ar and thewere not very well-treated;they wer e looked downupon as foreigners.”

The church was built withChagnon’s strong emphasison sustaining and pr omot-

ing the Franco-Americanculture of the area, said Del-bel.

“It r eminded them theyhad a wonderful heritage,”Delbel said of the chur ch’sparishioners, adding thosewho attend the chur ch tothis day shar e that sameFrench-Canadian lineage.

Though the chur ch wasviewed as Chagnon’scrowning achievement, hedidn’t stop ther e, said Del-bel. In 1906, thr oughChagnon’s ef forts, aCatholic school wasopened, bringing theDaughters of the Charity ofthe Sacred Heart of Jesus —a gr oup of nuns came toAmerica fr om France — toteach the students.

“[Chagnon] insisted onoffering a Catholic educa-tion,” said Delbel, “whichwas difficult because, again,there wasn’t much money.”

What became Chagnon’smost notable accomplish-ment, however, was the con-struction of the monumentdedicated to French explor-er Samuel de Champlain,the namesake for the vil-lage, town and lake whichdivides the states of NewYork and Vermont.

“The town fathers here inChamplain wanted to put

up a statue in honor ofSamuel de Champlain butcouldn’t come up with themoney, so they turned to Fa-ther Chagnon,” said Delbel.“He went all over New Eng-

land and New York to theFrench communities, meet-ing with Franco-Americansocieties, and got them todonate to this statue, whichwas put up on church land.”

Eventually, enough mon-ey was raised to er ect thestatue in time for a dedica-tion July 4, 1907, and makeit the first statue in the na-tion to honor Samuel deChamplain.

“It was the last big thinghe did and, in a way , hiscrowning achievement aspastor her e,” said Delbel,who noted Chagnon diedfour years later on Oct. 10,1911.

Chagnon was laid to r estin a tomb on the chur chgrounds behind the statueof Samuel de Champlain,across the str eet fr om theformer Catholic school hehelped establish. Chagnon’sfinal r esting place put himamong the thr ee ef forts hewas most known for , notedDelbel.

“He certainly was worthcelebrating. He really put astamp on this parish that’sstill influential today,” saidDelbel, adding the localKnights of Columbus coun-cil also bears Chagnon’snames as the Francis X.Chagnon Council 3525.

“He was one of the mostimportant people in theNorth Country,” said Del-bel, “and we r ememberhim.”

Commemoration honors life, death of Father Chagnon

The Rev. Francis X. Chagnon, a former pastor of St. Mary’s Church, wasrecently honored by the chur ch’s congregation, which marked the100th anniversary of Chagnon’s death. Chagnon has been credited forbeing an influential man in the North Country during his time.

PropertyFrom page 1codes which pr ohibit excessive debris onproperties within the town. The petition, ini-tially filed in Saranac T own Court, wastransferred to Black Br ook Town Court dueto a conflict of interest with the justices whoserved in Saranac, said Zappala.

Ultimately, Reed was or dered to pay aone-time fine and clean up his pr operty.However, the issue has pr esented itselfagain, said Zappala, who has been workingwith Town Code Enfor cement Officer ToddPerry to investigate the matter. Zappala toldthe council Monday night he for esees thecouncil going back to court “in the near fu-ture.”

“It’s a matter of not complying with thelaws that ar e on the books,” said Zappala.“In our opinion, ther e is a consistent disr e-gard with the proper way to r un a businesson his property.”

When reached for comment Tuesday, Reedsaid he understands and appr eciates thetown’s point of view regarding his propertyand offered an explanation as to the amountof debris that has reaccrued on his land.

“We were doing really good and were justslammed with cars [to recycle] and we couldnot clean up fast enough,” said Reed.

Reed said he’s also had equipment pr ob-lems in recent weeks that have led to an in-ability to keep his pr operty cleared as r ou-tinely as both he and the town would like.

“We r ecycle so many metals,” he contin-ued. “Piles go down and come back up. Inanother week it will be all gone again.”

Reed said he has not been contact by Per-ry regarding the most recent code issue con-cerns and welcomed a discussion with thecode enforcement officer if it means r esolv-ing the issue.

“I don’t want [the town] to put me out ofbusiness,” said Reed, who said he wanted toavoid paying “exorbitant fines.”

Zappala of fered an explanation of thetown’s course of action Monday night,which will be primarily to further investi-gate the matter.

“We’re looking to see if ther e ar e viola-tions, and if ther e ar e violations, to pr ose-cute [Reed] and to bring him into compli-ance,” said Zappala.

DANNEMORA — Themove for the DannemoraFree Library is now officiallycomplete.

Though the library relocat-ed fr om its former home onCook Str eet to its new loca-tion in the V illage of Dan-nemora Of fice Building onEmmons Str eet in August,there was one thing missing:the final book from the li-brary’s old shelves.

“Winter of the Ice Wizard,”a book in the Magic T ree-house series written by MaryPope Osborne, wasn’t hastilyleft behind, however . It wasintentionally left there, wait-ing for one particular personto take it to its new home andthat person was 1 1-year-oldElizabeth Allen, daughter ofTy and Faith Allen ofSaranac.

Elizabeth was amongthose enrolled in the library’ssummer r eading pr ogramwho entered a contest toguess the exact number ofbooks in the library’s collec-

tion, said library dir ectorLaura Pritchar d. Elizabethguessed 8,000 books and wasclosest to the actual numberof 7,613. The prize wasshrouded in mystery untilElizabeth was announced thewinner and she was told shecould pick the last book to bemoved to t he l ibrary’s n ewlocation.

“Our boar d and I wer ebrainstorming ways to in-clude the summer r eadingprogram into the pr ocess ofmoving from our old facilityto our new one and to gener-ate some excitement,” saidPritchard. “We figur ed thiswould be a good way to getmany of the kids we don’t seeuntil the next summer r ead-ing pr ogram excited andwanting t o come back m orethrough the school year.”

The contest worked, saidPritchard, r eceiving severalentries and showing the en-thusiasm of childr en in theprogram — especially Eliza-beth.

“She was very excited,”said Pritchar d. “She had abig grin on her face.”

Elizabeth, a fifth grade stu-dent at Holy Name Elemen-tary School in Au SableForks, chose “W inter of theIce Wizard” because it waspart of a series of books shewas soon becoming a big fanof, she said.

“I really like it. It’s an ex-cellent book,” said Elizabeth.

Though Elizabeth was ableto officially place the book onone of the library’s newshelves during a special vol-unteer appr eciation dinnerlast week, it didn’t stay therelong.

“Right after she put thebook away she asked if shecould take it back out,” saidPritchard, laughing.

“It was very heart-warm-ing,” added Pritchard.

Elizabeth’s grandmotherBonnie Allen, who manytimes takes her to the library,said she was proud to see hergranddaughter get such athrill out of being chosen tobe a part of the library’s his-tory.

“We wanted to get hermore inter ested in r eadingand this was a gr eat way todo it,” said Allen.

North Countryman Editorial

Over the last week, there have beentwo informative presentationsmade in the Elizabethtown-Lewis

Central School auditorium.The first dealt with the economic future of

the North Country and was run by the NorthCountry Economic Regional DevelopmentCouncil (NCEDC). The second was a presen-tation on the future of school districts byAlan Pole, who started his education careeras a teacher at Chazy Central Rural Schooland has been a consultant on several studiesin shared services or the merger of districts.

In both cases, the message was similar, asboth sides said it’s time to get the ball rollingto meet the needs of the taxpayers and thecommunity at large. Whether it means devel-oping a comprehensive plan that can be usedas a guideline to work toward economicgrowth in the Adirondacks, bringing schoolboards together to open the dialogue intosharing services, or merging school districts,the time for action is now.

Yes, now is the time to draft a plan to pro-mote the region economically as well as con-solidate services between school districtsthat continue to see a drop in enrollment andstate aid.

On the economic side, we hope that peo-ple had a chance to get to the community fo-rum meetings held around the region overthe past couple of months. Each meetingbrought ideas to the council that have beenused in drafting a plan that needs to be sub-mitted to the state by Nov. 14.

Once the plans from the 10 regions aresubmitted, they will compete for $200 mil-lion in funding from the state for projects tohelp bolster the regions’ economies.

While NCEDC co-chair Garry Douglassaid he was more concerned with the“stronger bond for collaboration in this sev-en-county region” and that “too much ismade of the figure,” we encourage councilmembers to make sure they present as solida plan as they can to the state and focus onsecuring as much money as they can. In thenear future, collaboration is not going to paythe bills that communities face.

As for the discussion on school districts,the fact is the merger of school districts issomething that needs to be seriously consid-ered. The Crown Point and Ticonderoga dis-tricts are studying it. Others are taking ahard look at it.

The discussion at the Elizabethtown-LewisCentral School was presented jointly by

ELCS, Keene, Westport and Willsboro centralschools. At more than one of the schools,sports are starting to disappear as the dis-tricts are unable to field varsity baseball,cheerleading and basketball as well as sever-al modified or junior varsity teams. Due tothe rising costs and decrease in funding,schools are balking at the former unifiedswimming and baseball teams that havebeen part of the landscape over the pastyears.

Classes have been trimmed, with schoolseliminating a second foreign language classor other elective classes that help students bemore prepared for the next chapter in life.Only one of the four schools at the meetingsaid that they have a business program. Inall, these students are no longer gaining ad-vantages from being in a small school; theyare losing opportunities to grow, participateand progress.

Combined, these four school districts haveseen almost one-fifth of their enrollmentevaporate over the last decade, with studiessuggesting that this trend will continue.

A combination of school districts like theElizabethtown-Lewis-Keene or Westport-Willsboro Central Schools will save money,give students more classes and opportunitiesand keep extracurricular activities and sport-ing programs alive.

Success stories, like the North WarrenCentral School District, exist and should beused as a model for how such a mergercould be beneficial elsewhere.

These decisions will not be easy. There isnothing that stirs more passion or sparksmore controversy in a community than sug-gesting school closures.

But the handwriting is on the wall. Thestatistics don’t lie. Enrollment and state aidare going to continue to decline, forcingmore of a taxing burden on less people —and even more year-round residents out ofthe region.

It is time we make some difficult decisionson our own, in the interest of what’s best forour children — before they are made for usby those with no vested interest at all.

This editorial is the collaborative opin-ion of a board comprised of Thom Randall,Fred Herbst, Lou V arricchio, Keith Lob-dell, Jeremiah Papineau, Andy Flynn andJohn Gereau. Comments may be directed [email protected].

The time for action is nowOperating a business

today, in this eco-nomic environment

is truly a challenge. And whilemany businesses and workersawait a return to the good days,they need to realize that thosedays have past. This economyis not a short term slump, it’sthe new reality. As a nationwe’ve lost jobs that may nevercome back because technology,consumer needs and businessespractice have forever beenchanged. The future may neverlook like the past.

That doesn’t mean everything we know willgo away and be replaced by something else. Itonly means we must all re-position ourselvesto be more aligned with the changes takingplace all around us. Old skills slowly becomeobsolete and new skills are required to meetthe demands of the future. As such every busi-ness must look at the needs of their customersand be prepared to anticipate those changingneeds in order to be successful.

Given some of the bad press newspapershave received in recent years, I’ve come acrosstwo interesting reports that I would like toshare with you. The first from the NationalNewspaper Association. Unlike reports of thedeclining circulation from America’s top 100 or250 newspapers the news from America’s 8,000community newspapers paints a very differentpicture that you may not have heard.

The following survey details have been com-piled over the last four years by the ReynoldsJournalism Institute at the Missouri School ofJournalism:

Eighty-one percent of those surveyed read alocal newspaper each week. Those readers, onaverage, share their newspaper with 2.36 addi-tional readers. Community newspaper readersspend about 40 minutes with their paper, while73 percent read most or all of their communitynewspaper. Nearly 40 percent keep their com-munity newspaper more than a week (shelflife).

Three-quarters of readers read local news of-ten to very often in their community newspa-per while 53 percent say they never read localnews online. Of those going online for localnews, 63 percent found it on the local newspa-per’s website, compared to 17 percent for sitessuch as Yahoo, MSN or Google, and 12 percenton the website of a local television station.

Seventy-nine percent say they prefer to lookat newspaper ads over ads watched on TV. Six-ty-nine percent find that advertising insertshelp them make purchasing decisions.

The local community newspaper is the pri-

mary source of informationabout the local community for60 percent of respondents:that’s four times greater thanthe second and third most pop-ular sources of local news(TV/14 percent and friendsand relatives/13.4 percent).Readers are 10 times more like-ly to get their news from theircommunity newspaper thanfrom the Internet (5.8 percent).Less than 5 percent say theirprimary local news source isradio.

Many of these statistics mirror the resultsour community newspapers have seen fromCVC readership surveys taken locally eachyear.

Combine that report with a recent article inthe October issue Newspaper & TechnologyMagazine commenting on a Newspaper Asso-ciation of America report suggesting that dailynewspapers convert to weekly newspapers.The article highlights three key realities.

Reality No.1: Reader frequency and con-sumption of printed products continue to de-cline. Reality No. 2: Advertisers do not markettheir products or services every day. RealityNo. 3: Daily newspapers don’t necessarily at-tract a larger user base to their websites, as theauthor notes he has plenty of examples wherelocal weekly audiences are not only as strong,but also more loyal in terms of repeat visits.

The bottom line to all these statistics andstrategies for those of us in the business ofpublishing a community newspaper is akin toreading tea leaves. While many things arechanging, know that at Denton Publications,we are digesting information from manysources to insure we keep abreast of the bestways to bring you your community news, be iton paper, online or some other method.

So the next time you hear about furloughs atother newspapers, cutbacks in staffing, reduc-tion of publishing days, bankruptcies, or asRupert Murdock’s Shareholders Group toldhim earlier this week “the competitive advan-tage that newspapers had has been competedaway” when recommending they sell all theirnewspaper holdings, please keep in mind thatthe community newspaper in your hands or onyour screen has chosen to accept the challengesof the future rather than throw in the towel.What we do is more than a casual investmentit’s all about our lives and our service to theresidents we call neighbors and communitieswe call home.

Now the nights ar ecrisp and frosty, itis har d to r esist

the temptation to go out intothe per ennial gar den andclear-cut all of this year ’sgrowth down to the ground.There ar e several r easonswhy you may want to r esistthe urge of cutting back all ofthe perennial garden.

First of all, if you cut downall your per ennials atground level now, your gar-den will look pr etty darnbare through the winter — just a blank spacewhich will be cover ed by snow. And, if wedon’t get a lot of snow cover , it will be justa blank space of soil and mulch.

If you r efrain fr om clear -cutting theperennial garden in the fall, you’ll have anarray of plant skeletons and seed heads toview thr oughout winter . Although not asshowy as the lush gr eenery and vibrantblossoms of summer , the per ennial gar denin winter has a subtle beauty not to bemissed. And, as winter pr ogresses, theseskeletons will be embellished by the crys-talline tracery of fr ost and puf fy caps ofsnow, providing you with an ever-changingseasonal view.

Not only ar e all those seed heads lovelyto look at, but they’r e even more attractivewhen enlivened by over -wintering bir ds

which will feed on them, andeven shelter in the harbor ofthe dead foliage. Scor es ofperennials pr ovide pr otein-and oil-rich seeds for birds.

Finally, some per ennials,such as Russian sage, are ac-tually subshr ubs that havewoody stem bases with over-wintering buds. These peren-nials will pr obably be killedby a sever e fall pr uning. In-stead, wait until early springand scratch the epidermis, orbark, of the stems. If the tis-

sue is white beneath, the stem is alive. If itis dark br own or blackened, and the barkslips easily, it has been winterkilled. Pr unethese perennials down into live wood.

As always, ther e ar e exceptions to therule. Any diseased per ennials should betrimmed down and their foliage destroyed,as should plants that just sort of turn toblack slimy mush after a freeze.

So, just when do I clean up the gar den?The answer is during an unseasonablywarm early spring day , when I’m about togo crazy from cabin fever!

Response to a responseIn response to a letter printed in the

Press-Republican on October 18, 201 1,by Karen Juhasz, where she says she isresponding to my Letter to the EditorSeptember 26th I want people to knowI don’t mention names but I must in thiscase.

I never wrote in any of my letters any-thing about Mr. Juhasz’s qualifications,why would I, he is not r unning for of-fice in the Town of Mooers. I did statethat an outsider doesn’t want to comply with Town & Coun-ty Laws. He has been identified by his wife not me.

I personally don’t know Mr. Juhasz and didn’t know whohe was until someone told me who he was a couple of weeksago, so how can she say I’ve tr eated him in any way. Howcan you say Supervisor Rudy Miller and Secr etary Car olPayne have treated Mr. Juhasz shameful and embarrassing,when all they have asked of him is to fill out a building per-mit accurately and tr uthfully. Don’t try to get a BuildingPermit for one thing then change what you actually ar ebuilding into something completely dif ferent. Don’t try toput a commercial building in a residentially zoned area.

Election Day is November 08,2011, so please remember tovote. When you vote for Supervisor ask yourself one ques-tion which candidate would you tr ust to r un your busi-ness(“Justin Sample”, a 28 year old out door salesman whois a sports ref. and umpire) or (“Cory Ross”, a man who hasrun his own business for over 10 years and a resident in theTown of Mooers)? Think before you vote.

Helping the United Way helpsothers

It has been said that our tr ue charac-ter is demonstrated when times ar etough.

I’ve lived in this area all my life, andI’ve seen the people of Clinton, Essexand Franklin counties demonstrateawesome character in difficult times.

We’ve banded together during floodsand ice storms, when catastr ophic

events happened, and when businesses closed their doorsand people lost their jobs. We’ve pulled together to help oth-ers when it would have been easier to walk away.

In these tough economic times, we have the opportunityto band together and show others our character . There arehundreds of people in our area who need our assistance, andthey depend on the agencies supported by the United Way.

The United Way of the Adirondack Region Inc. is in themidst of its annual campaign to raise funds for the benefitof the 39 agencies that provide for the needs of our friendsand neighbors. Giving to the United W ay is the most ef fi-cient and ef fective way to pool our donations to help themost people because 100 per cent of the money you donatestays in this area and helps people you know.

When you’re contacted about donating to the United Way,please pledge gener ously. The economic times ar e tough,but this is the time when we can all band together to helpothers like we’ve done in the past. This is the time for ourcharacter to shine.

Residents of Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties who arenot part of a campaign through their employer but still want

to participate may send their donation directly to the Unit-ed Way of the Adirondack Region Inc., 45 Tom Miller Road,Plattsburgh N.Y. 12901.

Halloween is justaround the cornernow, the start of

the holiday season and un-fortunately for many, the hol-iday weight gain. Do youhave a plan all the candyyour kids will be bringinghome, or a plan to battle theHalloween candy bowl at theoffice? How about the quali-ty of the tr eats you will begiving out? All things to con-sider that can make a big dif-ference.

Halloween is something that most chil-dren are really excited about and really ex-cited about all the “CANDY” they will begetting. Well, how about you make a planwith your childr en? When they bringhome all of their treats, go through it as afamily, which you should anyway to in-spect for safety purposes. But, ask yourchildren which is their favorite. Allowthem to go thr ough and sort out their fa-vorites and thr ow the r est away. That’sright, why keep it ar ound? Then, put thecandy, that together you have decided tokeep, away for treats.

As an adult you may be tempted by Hal-loween candy and other tr eats lyingaround at the office and even at home. Thisis where will power comes in. Ask your-self “Is it really worth it?” “Really?”

Remember, it is okay tohave a tr eat once in awhile, but at this time ofyear especially, “once in awhile turns” into a lotmore often, and all thoseonce in a whiles add up toextra pounds of fat onyour body . Not a goodthing. So, be honest withyourself. Then, step awayfrom the candy dish.

Now, what ar e youplanning on giving outfor Halloween treats? Try

to health it up a little by giving out health-ier tr eat options like individually-wrapped packages of pretzels, raisins, yo-gurt cover ed raisins, craisins, or Hal-loween-shaped crackers. I personally usu-ally go for the pr etzels. They come pack-aged in cute orange and black bags deco-rated for Halloween, and the pr etzels arein cute Halloween shapes.

Enjoy your Halloween as an adult andwith your kids. Make it more about the ex-perience, less about the candy . Have fun,be safe and have a healthy Halloween.

FLAME performsfor Plattsburghcommunity, inspires families By Katherine [email protected]

P L A T T S B U R G H —FLAME entertained morethan 300 audience membersin a special performance atthe Staf ford Middle Schoolon Oct. 22.

The event was sponsor edby the newly-formedAutism Alliance of North-eastern New York, a gr oupthat has branched fr om theannual Autism A warenessWalk.

“We wanted to still work

alongside the autism walkbut we also saw this newgroup as a way to make abroader impact on the com-munity a nd h elp t hose a f-fected by autism,” saidAutism Alliance boardmember Melissa Provost.

The Autism Alliance is ona mission to empower indi-viduals and familiestouched by autism spec-trum disor ders thr oughsupport and education.Though the alliance is still afew months away fr om be-coming an of ficial nonprof-it organization, Autism Al-liance president Lisa Briscosaid the FLAME perform-ance was a pr eview to thekind of events the gr ouphopes hold in the future.

Brisco said it is “some-

times har d for someonewith an autistic familymember to plan a familyouting to places like a fair ,or Parc Safari without wor-rying their family may bejudged.” Events like theFLAME concert ar e an in-spiration to the those affect-ed by autism, she said, al-lowing families to have asafe and comfortable placeto enjoy themselves.

“It’s a natural occurrencefor families to go out an doactivities t ogether,” B riscosaid. “When you have achild with a developmentaldisability it can be mor echallenging. I t’s s o i mpor-tant that we have events likethis so people don’t feel soisolated, they can connectwith each other and shar e

their experiences.”FLAME, a musical group,

made up of 10 people withdevelopmental and physi-cal disabilities, includingautism, Down syndr ome,and blindness. The group isbased out of Lexington Cen-ter, the Fulton CountyChapter of the New YorkState Association of Region-al Councils, Inc.

Brisco said audiencemembers were thrilled to bepart of the event, especiallyone 1 1-year-old girl whowas very excited to meet an-other person that shares herdisability.

“She was thrilled; she isblind and has rar ely got tomeet another blind person,”Brisco said, adding it wasespecially exciting for audi-

ence members or familymembers who shared dis-abilities with band mem-bers to see how much thegroup members have ac-complished.

The band members, theiraccomplishments and talentinspire people and changesthe way the general publicview p eople w ith d isabili-ties, she added.

According to Brisco, theidea to host FLAME inPlattsburgh came fr om aboard member that hadbrought her daughter to aFLAME performance inSaranac Lake. She said itwas so inspiring, for a par-ent of a child with Downsyndrome to see that it ispossible for a child livingwith developmental issues,

like autism, to be able toachieve gr eatness and tolive their dreams.

One of the Alliance’s mis-sions is to bring mor eautism education and earlyautism screening to the res-idents in Plattsburgh.

“We want to educate thecommunity her e, not atevents held miles away butto have quarterly educa-tional and family fun activ-ities here,” Brisco said.

Multi-use trailFrom page 1

The plans involve utilizing an old railroadbed fr om Chur ch Str eet in Rouses Point,along Golf Course Road and State Route 276and parallel with U.S. Route 11 into the vil-lage of Champlain.

Through collaboration with the villages ofChamplain and Rouses Point and the townof Mooers, the town of Champlain movedforward with submitting an application forgrant funding for the pr oject thr ough thestate of Office of Parks Recreation and His-toric Preservation. However, the applicationwas denied and, at that point, the project be-came stagnant.

“It was universally accepted by the boardsand the community ,” said McManus. “W ejust didn’t get any funding.”

McManus started to look at the idea of amulti-use trail once again after learning ofpotential funding through the state Depart-ment of Health that could benefit the munic-ipalities if they were to again move forwardwith plans for a trail system.

“I noticed about two months ago ther ewas something available,” said McManus,“but it would be impossible to make thisyear ’s [application] deadline.”

However, that got McManus thinking thatif funding were made available in the future,it would be worth pursuing. The key wouldbe whether or not the state Department ofHealth would offer the grant funding again.

“I have no r eason to assume they wouldnot,” said McManus.

In the meantime, the municipalities in-volved would be able to gather mor e data,including whether or not community mem-bers would prefer a motorized or nonmotor-ized trail, what its of ficial path would be,and what properties would either have to beacquired or what easements would be need-ed to use the properties.

This time ar ound, however , McManussaid the primary focus would be not on theoriginally pr oposed 8.8-mile str etch fr omthe hamlet of Mooers to the village of Rous-es Point, but rather only the section betweenthe villages of Champlain and Rouses Point.

“We’d be talking about 4 miles for the ini-tial phase,” said McManus.

The municipalities involved would also

have t o d ecide h ow m uch t hey c ould c on-tribute in matching grant funding, if any-thing, which could come in the form of in-kind services, said McManus.

“There’s going to be clearing, leveling,those kinds of things which would qualifytoward the match but not necessarily be a di-rect cost to the taxpayers,” said McManus.

The overall cost of a trail system has yetto be determined and would require furtherexamination, McManus reiterated.

“We just have to start the pr ocess some-where,” he said, speaking of his r ecent vis-its with local municipal leaders.

Champlain Town Supervisor Larry G. Bar-comb said he’s for the trail, as long as themajority of the pr oject could be funded bystate or federal monies. Bar comb acknowl-edged, though, that such funding is becom-ing harder and harder to obtain.

“The biggest problem would be the cost,”said Barcomb. “We’re trying to stay withinthe [state’s 2 per cent pr operty tax cap] ...Don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly willing tolisten to the idea, and I see some of the po-tential benefits. We just need to know whatour cost would be.”

Gregory Martin, mayor of the village ofChamplain, agreed.

“I think it’s a good idea. It would open upsome dif ferent pathways between the vil-lages for walkers, people bicycling,” saidMartin. “And, I think if it could be devel-oped reasonably, it would provide a safe en-vironment for people to go fr om RousesPoint to Champlain and maybe even be-yond.”

“We just have to look for the potentialgrant money out there to work on this,”added Martin.

“I think it’s a gr eat idea if we can get itdone,” said Rouses Point V illage MayorGeorge A. Rivers. “I don’t if we’ll be able toget all the property owners on board, but wemight be able to swing it.”

“We’ll support it as much as we can,”added Rivers.

McManus emphasized everything is in the“preliminary stages” for the multi-use trailand that many details would have to be dis-cussed before things would move forwar d,including input from the community.

“The key component to this whole thingwould be community support,” he said.

Our candidate for Supervisor, Cory Ross,is a graduate of SUNY Canton with an Asso-ciate degree in Mortuary Science. Cory hasworked in the funeral profession for 17 yearsand has owned Ross Funeral Homes since2007 where he resides. He has the maturity,intelligence, and the fiscal responsibility re-quired for the position. His integrity is un-questionable. He is the person needed toguide us through fiscally troubling times.

Our candidates for Councilmen are Alfred“Alfie” Ladue and Michael W illette. Theyboth have the experience, backgr ound andstability needed.

Alfred Ladue is a 1992 graduate ofChateaugay Central and attended ClintonCommunity College. He has been employed

at Clinton Corr ectional for 8 years. Heserved in the Mooers Fire Department for 12years and was an EMT for the last three. “Al-fie” currently serves as the Mooers Youth Di-rector, a position held since 2008. Since 1996he has coached soccer, basketball and base-ball. “Alfie” wants to be a str ong voice forthe rights of the people of Mooers. He is re-liable, respectful and pledges to pr ovidefairness.

Michael Willette is a graduate of North-eastern Clinton. He holds an Associates de-gree in Business Administration from Clin-ton Co mmunity. H e i s Treasurer of K o f CCouncil 6136, Executive Secr etary/Treasur-er of the Northern Conference and Webmas-ter. He was recently elected President of theBishop Brzana Chapter . He has been “Big

Ticket” chairman for the St. Anne’s Bazaarfor the last five years. He feels his fiscalbackground will assist him in making thedifficult decisions required..

We are very fortunate to have Joshua Wil-lette as the Democratic candidate for TownJustice. Joshua graduated from NortheasternClinton and has a Bachelors degree in Crim-inal Justice from Plattsburgh State. He is em-ployed at Nova Bus. He curr ently is Secr e-tary and Youth Director for the Mooers K ofC Counsel6136. He is District Vice Chairmanof the Membership Committee. Joshua hasthe education, integrity and ener gy neededto handle the complexities of this position.

We are proud of our candidates. They havethe educational background, the fiscal back-ground and community pride necessary toguarantee Mooers residents the service theyhave come to expect for the last 38 years.

baseball. In wr estling he won over 100matches, Was a CV AC All Star and in 1992was voted Most Outstan ding Wrestler f orSection VII. Always the leader, Cory, had thework ethic and maturity that propelled himto the top.

He attended Norwich University befor edeciding to major in Mortuary Science. Hereceived an Associates degr ee fr om SUNYCanton and enter ed the fun eral pr ofessionwhere he has progressed from an apprenticeto the current owner of three funeral homes.

Cory has learned well, that before you canbe a leader you must learn to follow. He haslearned a good leader listens car efully,weighs the facts and then renders a decisionbased on those facts and not his or her fears.He has the courage to make the hard deci-sions.

Community’s help neededThe St. John Feral Cat Fund has

seen first-hand thousands of home-less cats suffer over the years due toanimal cruelty and neglect.

Our or ganization has r escuedmore than 268 animals this year andspayed/neutered 100-plus home-less cats. Even though we are not a shelter and do not havea facility to house animals, with help from Petsmart and fos-ter homes, we have successfully found homes for more than900 cats since 2002.

We have had a very challenging year and have helped withmany emergency rescues: Bombay Animal Cruelty, 22 cats;Mooers Rescue, Lakeside Flood Rescue, 78 animals; City Po-lice seizure of 48 cats; and Quarry Road abandoned cats.

We have several areas that still need help and are in needof volunteers, colony car egivers, foster homes as well asfood and litter to help us continue this vital work, savinglives, one cat at a time through trap-neuter-return.

There is an overpopulation of homeless cats in this ar ea,and it needs to be addr essed by our public of ficials. Ignor-ing it will not make it go away.

We depend 100 percent on public donations to continue toprovide ongoing care for felines and emergency rescues.

Monetary donations are tax-deductible and can be sent to:St. John Feral Cat Fund, Inc., P.O. Box 2884, Plattsburgh, N.Y.12901.

To find out mor e about our or ganization, go to our web-site http://members.petfinder.com/~NY483/index.html.

We would like to thank all of the volunteers who took timeout of their summer to help us provide care for so many an-imals that were in need and all feral friends who support ourcause.

The hunt is onThe Regular Big Game

Hunting Season has fi-nally begun acr oss the

Adirondacks, and as sportsmenand women r eturn to thewoods, it is important to notethe role that hunters hold in theregion’s vast outdoor heritage.

For many , the thrill of thehunt defines their Adirondackexperience. But, the success oftheir hunt isn’t always meas-ured by the size of a rack or thequantity of deer harvested.Rather, a hunt is gauged by thequality of the experience, and itoften entails traveling of f trailswhere few other hunters are likely to be encountered.

It is a pr ocess that permits them to go beyond their or dinaryeveryday existence, and return to a quieter, deeper, and older world.It is a world of excitement and tradition, where the freedom to roamis unhindered and the tie to our ancestors is evident.

Deer hunting typically requires equal portions of pre-season prepand in-season sweat. It is a pursuit defined by numerous close calls,a high degree of patience, and occasional second-guessing.

Most Adirondack hunters have experienced the unencumberedfrustration of catching just a fleeting glimpse of the ghost of thewoods. It is not uncommon to see more tails than racks, in the ‘dacks.

The process of the hunt offers plenty of time for exploration, andprovides equal shares of challenge, har d work, stealth, boredom,and nature study. On occasion, the hunt also provides exhilarationfor about one out of every seven hunters.

Whitetail deer ar e quite possibly the most-hunted animals onearth. They have been pursued across North America for as long asthere have been records, and likely longer.

Deer hunting it he Adirondacks region reached its zenith in the1950’s, when the logging industry was at its peak and much of the

forestlands were in the early stages of r e-growth. Conditions wereideal, with plenty of browse for the deer in the cut over forests, andthe woods wer e mor e open. Pr oportionally, ther e wer e also a lotmore hunters in the woods at the time, than there are today.

Hunting styles Currently, N YSDEC e stimates t he s tate’s w hitetail p opulation

ranges around one million animals. During the 2010 season, huntersharvested 230,100, an increase of 3.3 percent over the previous sea-son.

However, the Adirondack region accounted for only a small frac-tion of this total. Statewide, the success rate for deer hunters fillingtheir buck tag is estimated at about 15 per cent. Anecdotally, theoverall annual success rate for hunters in the Adirondacks is lessthan half that number.

Who hunts, and how they do itThe most r ecent survey conducted by the NYSDEC pr ovides a

snapshot of today’s hunters. Typically, the average whitetail hunterin New York is a rural, white male, of about 50 years of age. Twen-ty seven per cent of NY hunters ar e over sixty years old and fortytwo percent are over forty.

On average, these hunters spend about 17 days on the hunt and94 percent hunted relatively nearby, within their home geographicarea. Slightly more than half took to the hunt in the Northern Zone,and 86 percent pursued deer in the Southern Zone.

About 95 percent of all hunters got out during the Regular Sea-son, with about 36 percent also participating in either the archeryor muzzleloader season.

Nearly, one third of all hunters spent their time hunting fr om astationary stand, and 27 per cent spent their hunting time stalkingor still-hunting. Only about 3 per cent spent their time putting ondeer drives.

In the first year that New York state allowed 14 and 15-year-oldsto hunt big game for the first time, 15,651 junior hunters took ad-vantage of the opportunity, and harvested about 3,679 deer.

This year, New York has permitted 12 and 13 year-olds to partic-ipate in the Bow Hunting Season, when accompanied by a licensedadult hunter. It is expected that the influx of young participants willhelp to decrease the average age of New York’s hunting population.

Where to startAlmost every hunting season, someone asks me the question

“Where can I learn how to hunt?”Most deer hunters will honestly reply, “I’m still learning how to

hunt!” However, I’ve been very fortunate in this r egard. I’ve hadnumerous opportunities to hunt with a number of highly compe-tent hunters over the years. The learning curve never ends.

Unfortunately, it isn’t always an easy opportunity to come by anexperienced hunter who is willing to share. Understandably, it is ashort season!

The vast majority of successful whitetail hunters are a rather qui-et lot. They have worked long and har d to acquir e the skills andknowledge necessary for success, and they’ve spent a lot of time inthe woods. It is understandable, if they aren’t terribly very eager toshare it.

However, in most local communities ther e is a fair shar e of oldtimers, who are more than willing to provide some helpful huntinghints. Even the most experienced hands, were inexperienced at onepoint in time.

Their accumulated knowledge of Adirondack deer hunting couldfill volumes; but often, nobody asks. And sadly, the knowledge pass-es on with them.

These are the folks that can provide information about an untoldnumber of natural deer funnels, where hidden springs can be found,and lost orchards or similar locations were once discovered.

Often, these old hunters are just as interested in sharing their in-formation, as we are to learn about it. The most important elementin this learning pr ocess is r espect and feedback. Stop by the localNursing Home, or the Senior Center to discover what the realAdirondacks once had to offer. I expect you’ll find a lot mor e thanyou bargained for!

Be certain to extend the proper respect for their skills, and to re-port back to them after the season. And if you ar e ultimately suc-cessful, be certain to r eturn with some fr esh, venison loins. Ther eare few items that will open an old sportsman’s mouth quicker thana venison medallion or a fresh brook trout.
