PLATTSBURGH — A cityman has been arr ested andarraigned on char ges of sec-ond-degree murder and first-degree robbery.

Dustin C. Hill, 21, Platts-burgh, was taken into cus-tody by the Plattsburgh Police Department Aug. 7 only hoursafter the body of 32-year-old Jason Larabie, Plattsburgh, wasfound next to a parked vehicle near a public boat launchshortly before 6 a.m.

According to a press release from the department, of ficersresponded to a 9-1-1 call of an unresponsive male at the boatlaunch of f Cumberland Avenue at appr oximately 5:44 a.m.The report states Hill allegedly met Larabie in the area of thefoot bridge which crosses the mouth of the Saranac River. Thetwo then walked over to the victim’s vehicle where it is al-leged Hill struck Larabie before robbing him.

“[Larabie] was mur dered and then r obbed,” said PoliceChief Desmond Racicot. “The defendant had his arm ar ound[Larabie’s] neck and choked him until he was dead.”

Hill allegedly stole money fr om Larabie’s wallet and thenthrew the wallet and its contents into the Saranac River beforehe fled on foot.

On Monday afternoon, Racicot said other details of the in-cident are not being released as the investigation is ongoing.

“We’re not commenting on what the motive might havebeen,” Racicot said. “The investigation is continuing and wehave the person responsible in custody.”

District Attorney Andrew J. Wylie said Hill was arraignedin Plattsburgh City Court late last Sunday night before actingjustice Mark Rogers. The case was adjourned until Aug. 10.

“It’s my understanding Judge Rogers appointed Bill Meconias assigned counsel,” said Wylie in an interview Monday af-ternoon. “[Hill] was remanded to jail without bail.”

Wylie said an autopsy of Larabie was performed by Dr.Michael Sikirica, a chief medical examiner from RensselaerCounty. The preliminary results showed Larabie’s death wascaused by asphyxiation due to strangulation.

PLATTSBURGH — TheAlzheimer ’s Disease AssistanceCenter hosts its “Walk to Remem-ber” each year, remembering thoselost to and suffering fromAlzheimer ’s disease. And, thisyear, two events are kicking off theevent.

The S enior Ci tizens C ouncil o fClinton County Senior Center ,5139 N. Catherine St., will be thesite of the first upcoming event —a Zumbathon hosted by instructorAshley Cousens this Satur day,Aug. 13, from 12 to 2 p.m.

Cousens, who r outinely hostsZumba events for local charities,said she’s looking forwar d to thisSaturday’s Zumbathon, given thecause.

“My gr eat-grandmother, who Iknew fairly well, hadAlzheimer ’s,” said Cousens.“That’s why I agreed to do a Zum-bathon for the Alzheimer ’s Dis-

ease Assistance Center. Because Iknew what it was like to see some-one go through it.”

The proceeds from the Zumbat-hon — which will cost $10 to r eg-ister for — will benefit the centerfinancially. However, the event issomething Cousens said will ben-efit those wanting to keep theirminds in shape as much as theirbodies, all at the same time.

“The neat connection betweenall of this is how Zumba helps youkeep your brain active, remember-ing all the steps. It’s just one waywe can help keep our memory go-ing and help war d of fAlzheimer ’s,” said Cousens.

The second event to benefit theAlzheimer ’s Disease AssistanceCenter is “Run to Remember,” a 5kfun run and walk in memory of thelate Doug Hoffman of MooersForks. That event will be held Sat-urday, Aug. 20, at the W ellnessCenter at PARC, 295 New YorkRoad, beginning with registrationat 8:30 a.m. The first 25 to register

will receive free T-shirts. The costto r egister is $15 per person. Thewalk/run will begin at 9 a.m.

Lythia V era, with theAlzheimer ’s Disease AssistanceCenter, said events like those ar eimportant to helping the centercontinue its mission of finding acure for Alzheimer’s.

“These events bring awar enessto Alzheimer ’s, which is cr ucialfor the center ,” said V era. “I per-sonally lost a family member toAlzheimer ’s, too, so I know whatfamilies go through.”

Hosting events like the Zumbat-hon, the Run to Remember andthis year ’s Walk to Remember —slated for Sunday, Sept. 25, at thePlattsburgh State Fieldhouse —helps keep those suf fering fr omAlzheimer ’s at the for efront ofpeople’s minds.

“Through events like these, weraise awareness. So much has beendone for Alzheimer ’s by raisingawareness,” she said.

The Burgh Editorial

If you know the person who pr o-duced your food on a first-namebasis, you’re living the dream.

It’s National Farmers Market W eek(Aug. 7-13), a time when the USDA sec-retary and the Farmers Market Coalitiontout the political, economic and socialbenefits of farmers markets in the U.S.

Let them say their piece; we’d ratherjust eat — maybe a little wood-fir edbread from Wadhams smeared withgoat’s milk cheese fr om Au Sable Forks,all washed down with a fruit wine madein Mooers.

From Warrensburg to Wilmington andPlattsburgh to Port Henry, we’re blessedwith a variety of local food producers inthe Adirondack region, much of it madein the Champlain V alley to the east andthe St. Lawr ence V alley in the north-west.

For many, a visit to the local farmersmarket is tr eated as a quick, weeklychore. In places where the myriad of 10-by-10 tents are set up in fields and park-ing lots and along riverbanks, there’susually a beehive of activity — localsand visitors looking for good deals,good eats and good company.

But in places like Saranac Lake, wherethe farmers market is located in theheart of the village at Riverside Park,the traveling band of agrarian gypsiesbecomes the center of the communityactivity for five hours every Satur day.Spend the day , and you’ll see what wemean.

Two weeks ago, we did just that, andwe were amazed at what we saw. It wasCan-Am Rugby weekend. The villagewas packed with tourists, cars whizzingby the park on River Str eet. In the bub-ble of the farmers market, the traffic wasa stone’s thr ow away, but ther e was nonoise.

With the tents set up in an oval — theband shell at one end and a pair of tow-ering white pine tr ees at the other — apicnic table in the center, surrounded by

green grass, was the center of town.Heck, at the time, it was the center of theuniverse.

As vendors finished setting up, theywere the first to make their r ounds andbuy some fr esh pr oduce, cheese andbaked goods for br eakfast. Then, overthe next five hours, it seemed as thoughmost of the community showed up.

A woman sitting in the band shellplayed folk and blues tunes, laying theperfect soundtrack for a day at the mar-ket.

Locals came by for a croissant and aconversation. The newspaper publisherstopped for fr esh vegetables while tak-ing her puppy for a walk. A mortgagebroker ran acr oss the grass after buyinga dozen eggs. T eenagers cradled bunch-es of flowers in their arms. Artists, musi-cians, r etirees, state workers, not-for -profit employees, small business own-ers, people fr om all walks of life wer ethere, as wer e tourists, seasonal r esi-dents and boaters docking at LakeFlower behind the tents.

This was a snapshot of the communityat its finest. Flowers, cheese, pr oduceand baked goods seemed to sell the best.

We guarantee this: The farmers marketwill make you smile. Grab a fresh sun-flower. Eat a cheese and apple danish.Stick a moose-shaped maple sugar lol-lipop in your mouth. Stop by a market inyour community this week, and you’llsee what we mean.

Introduce yourself, find out where thefood comes fr om, and make some newfriends.

Farmers markets aworthwhile stop We need the gov-

ernment to workfor everyone

while pr oviding each of usthe fr eedoms we value andopportunity to cr eate thetype of life that fits each citi-zen’s personality.

Every society has its over-achievers a nd u nderachiev-ers, and sometimes under-achievers become over-achievers and vice versa. It’scalled motivation, and it’swhat makes our world goaround. Without motivationor a str ong sense of self drive, what willspur creativity and production?

Like it or not, this country is based oncapitalism. Capitalism r ewards the risk tak-ers and entr epreneurs and is the basis formany of the fr eedoms we enjoy . W e’vealways been a very competitive society , butwith advances in technology and a gr owingglobal economy, more countries have adopt-ed a form of our economic system. Combinethat new aggressive competition with a lessthen united effort from this country and theresults speak for themselves. We’ve lost ourcollective focus.

At this point in time, given the recent debtdeliberations, downgrading of the country’scredit rating by S&P , the political blamegame coming out of W ashington, and thestock market plunging over 600 points asI’m writing this on Monday , I think we canall agree, that things aren’t working well atall. What absolutely does need to work atthis point is finding solutions to r eachacross the aisle without digging in our heels.Do we really care who’s right or wrong, ordo we want our leaders to set a course cor-rection to put some confidence back into oureconomy? Regardless of your personal per-spective, I think most of us would choosethe latter.

Vilifying the opposition in place ofrespecting their position and seeking com-mon ground may seem the best course forthose on the fringes of our political system,but I’m convinced cooler headed centristswho make up the majority of our countrymust step forwar d and pr evail if both sidescan agr ee to r eason fairly and think aboutwhat best for the country not what bestplays to their corresponding political base.

This nation was built on har d work byenterprising people — people who onlywanted an opportunity , and with that

opportunity wer e willing towork har d and sacrifice tomake t he m ost o f i t. T heyknew what they wer e work-ing towar d and wer e willingto pay the price to r each theirgoal. Handouts, fr ee rides,get-rich-quick schemes, andnot pulling your own weightwere discouraged by societyas a whole, not celebrated orcondoned as seems to be thecase today.

Things like work ethics,courage, r eliability, hones ty,integrity, loyalty , faith and

commitment are values that wer e ingrainedin our nature at one time. Is it any wonder,as we strayed from those values, we findourselves in the mess we’ve cr eated today.From the time I was a youngster , it wasthese values passed down fr om my par entsand grandpar ents that wer e for ced uponthem by the Gr eat Depression. We can onlyhope these str ong moral values find theirway back into our futur e as per haps abyproduct of what we ar e about to gothrough.

This country has always been at its bestwhen we’re all pulling in the same direction,at the same time. Until we r eturn to the val-ues that made us str ong, get everyone tr ulypulling in the same dir ection and fairlysharing the bur den, eliminate the fr eerides/entitlements and see a r eturn of hon-esty, integrity and r espect, we ar e destinedto flounder in blame, self-righteousness,and a widening of the financial divide thatis at the root of our issues today.

While the pr oblems ar e most appar entright now at the federal level, it will beginquickly to trickle down to the local level asdollars become scar ce and borr owing getseven mor e dif ficult. As a nation, state andindividual communities, we must all take amore active r ole in voicing who we send toelected office and how our tax dollars ar espent.

I have no doubt our country will find itsway through this difficult period. Let’s hopethe lessons we learn and scars we’ll wearwill help us build a better future for ourchildren and grandchildr en, giving them abetter grasp on the hope and optimism ourparents and grandparents gave to us that welet slip away.

Thoughts on airport’s designI had the pleasur e of visiting

Plattsburgh International Airport forthe first time to pick up a familymember from out of town.

While the parking was a br eezeand the building inside was neat,clean and operating pr ofessionally, Iwas stunned that the designers andbuilders did not pr ovide waiting guests with a view of theflight line.

The building is perfectly situated to pr ovide visitors witha magnificent view of the valley and mountains, yet ther eare no windows from inside where a waiting individual cansee the runway.

Plus, when you walk outside to enjoy the view , the parkbenches all face the parking lot. Ther e is not one benchaimed at the view and the flight line. How stupid is that?

Cheers for the new building, but jeers for insensitivity toits setting and the fun of watching planes take of f and land.This international facility is missing key featur es that couldgreatly enhance its welcome to the visitors of the ChamplainValley and Adirondacks.

New campaign kicking buttsNew York State Tobacco Control Program has launched a

new campaign to educate New Yorkers about the benefits oftobacco-free outdoor recreational areas.

The campaign raises awar eness of the envir onmentalimpact of tobacco litter , dangers of secondhand smoke andinfluence on children when tobacco use is not r estricted.

Billboards with "Keep Butts Away Fr om Wher e We Play"can be seen throughout the tri-county area this summer.

Tobacco litter is poisonous to childr en and wildlife.Discarded cigarette butts ar e the most common form of lit-

ter. Studies show they ar e toxic, slow to decom-pose and costly to r emove.

Cigarette butts have been found in the stomachsof fish, whales, bir ds and other marine animalsand can cause digestive blockages.

Children routinely pick up these toxic butts andtry to place them in their mouths.

The U.S. surgeon general has declared that thereis no safe level of exposur e to secondhand smoke.Children have smaller lungs than adults and con-

sequently breathe in 50 percent more air pollution, which iswhy it is important to expand smoke-fr ee outdoor ar eas toreduce exposure and prevent tobacco-caused disease.

Public support for outdoor tobacco use r estrictions isgrowing. Outdoor-tobacco-use policies have been enacted inmore than 290 local municipalities thr oughout New York.Locally, 16 municipalities in the tri-county ar ea have adopt-ed policies.

Community Partnerships can pr ovide sample policies,signage and/or assistance in cr eating outdoor -tobacco-usepolicies. V isit www .TobaccoFreeNYS.org to learn mor e orcontact Adirondack Tobacco Fr ee Network at www .adiron-dacktobaccofree.org.

Helping Elmore SPCAThe Elmore SPCA, which serves all of Clinton County , is

in need your immediate assistance. Pr esently, the shelter isfilled to overflowing with over 65 cats and kittens. Thesehomeless animals ar e just the tip of the cat populationexplosion. Daily, people call the shelter frantic about whatto do after discovering abandoned and homeless kittensalong with mother cats barely out of kitten hood themselves.The animal rescues throughout the North Country are burst-ing at the seams with unspayed or unneuter ed cats and a

steady stream of kittens…the terrible consequences of irr e-sponsible cat ownership. Litters of kittens have been bornthis spring, and continue to be born.

Unfortunately, many ar e destined to have a short life fullof sickness, malnutrition and even starvation without inter-vention. As a shelter we have taken in many mor e cats andkittens this year then normally due to flooding, hoar ding,abandonment, and surr enders. The cat/kitten overpopula-tion issue is not only a tragedy in Clinton County but isrepeated in every part of the nation annually .

The costs of spaying, neutering, vaccines, medications,and veterinary car e have sever ely impacted our financialresources. We are asking you for donations of any amount.We are also in dir e need of canned cat food and dry kittenfood to feed the shelter ’s kittens and cats. Please help us sowe can help them.

Monetary contributions may be made dir ectly thr oughour website www .elmorespca.org and by mail to Elmor eSPCA, PO Box 686, Peru, NY 12972. The Post Office requiresthe use of the PO Box for all SPCA corr espondence.Donations of canned food and dry kitten food may bedropped of f at the shelter located at 510 Arthur Road. Ifpickup is needed please call 534-3484. W e thank you inadvance for any assistance.

If you are looking for a sweet cat or kitten please visit theElmore SPCA. If you can foster kittens or a cat or two pleasecall Kc at 643-2451. That would do much to alleviate thecrowded conditions at the shelter and get our cats and kit-tens into caring homes.

The Board of Dir ectors and staf f are very grateful for thecontinued gener osity of individuals, businesses, civicgroups, churches, and school organizations. It is your finan-cial support that allows the SPCA to pr ovide shelter andsustenance to homeless, abandoned, and abused animalsuntil they are adopted into loving, lifetime homes.

When most people thinkof insects, bad onescome to mind.

Fortunately, the vast majority ofinsects in the world ar e not pestsand because every pest has a pred-ator, many insects are beneficial.

Beneficial insects ar e insectsthat help your gr ow healthyplants. The most commonlythought of beneficial are the polli-nators such as honey bees. But,there is a gr oup of insects thateither eat or parasitize unwantedgarden pests. Knowing how toattract those beneficial insects to the gar den isimportant.

The first step in attracting beneficial insects to thegarden is to stop using pesticides. These chemicalsdo not dif ferentiate between the good and the badbugs. Be patient. If your peppers have aphids, givethe ladybugs time to find the smor gasbord, eat,mate, lay eggs, and let the ladybug larvae continueto pick the plants clean.

Planting an insectary in or near the gar den willhelp attract the beneficial bugs to the neighborhood.An insectary is a gar den plot or section of the plotdedicated just for the insects. The gar den can be alandscape bed right near the gar den, or severalsmall plantings interspersed among your curr entflowers or veggies.

Flowers such as fennel, yarr ow, anddill, and composite flowers, such asdaisies, cosmos, and zinnias, ar e twoimportant flower shapes that attractinsects who, in the adult phase, feed onnectar and pollen but whose larvae ar evoracious pr edators and parasites.Some of these insects include hooverflies, lacewings, and parasitic wasps.

Low cover is important for gr oundbeetles that feed at night on slugs, cut-worms, and r oot maggots. This covercan be low-gr owing herbs, mulch, flatstones, or boar ds. T aller plants ar eimportant for pr edators such as stinkbugs and praying mantids. Many times

these large, predatory insects hide so well in the tallplants, that we don't even notice they ar e there!

Like all living things, beneficial insects needwater. This need can be met by simply placing awater-filled saucer with some rocks in and around itin the garden. Most of these insects have wings andwill move out of the garden if water is not available.

With some time and an understanding, even themost bug-squeamish gar deners can come to appr e-ciate the importance of beneficial insects and biodi-versity within the garden!

Ways to burn unwanted fat

In designing the Regional EconomicDevelopment Councils (REDCs)around the state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo

did what all other governors before him haddone. He split the Adirondack Park intoseveral pieces, connecting each of thosepieces to a city and r egion outside of thepark’s bor ders. This is disheartening. TheAdirondack Park is a distinct r egion withunique economic needs and opportunities.

The Adirondack Park has no cities. It haslittle in common with Plattsbur gh andWatertown (North Country REDC), Utica(Mohawk V alley REDC) or theAlbany/Saratoga r egion (Capital REDC).Strategies that make sense in a city don’tusually translate well in our r ural andremote communities.

That is why the Adirondack Council —the park’s lar gest envir onmental or ganiza-tion — co-founded the Common Gr oundAlliance. It is also why the Council collabo-rated with the Adirondack CommunityHousing T rust and partially funded thethird volume of an outstanding local com-munity-planning ef fort known as HamletsIII, Planning for Smart Growth & Expansionof Hamlets in the Adirondack Park. We arealso asking for the state to cr eate a dedicat-ed fund to assist local economic develop-ment planning efforts in Adirondack towns.

We also supported the Empir e StateDevelopment Corporation (ESDC) plan toseek a single U.S. Census Bur eau region for

the Adirondack Park. Local, state and feder-al of ficials would have a much clear er pic-ture of the park’s economic cycles anddemographic changes than wedo now . Because the parkboundary cr osses town andcounty lines, the censusrequires interpr etation andoften leads to disagr eementabout the results.

Having a single entity keep-ing track of what works andwhat doesn’t would eliminatefalse starts in Adirondackcommunities facing similarchallenges. They don’t getthat chance when the parkgets pair ed with outsidecities.

We ar e confident that the AdirondackPark leaders appointed to the thr eeRegional Economic Development Councilswill r epresent the park well. The REDC’swill see that ther e is merit in focusing onuniversal high-speed Internet access,renewable and biomass ener gy, small busi-nesses incentives, nature-based tourism andrecreation development in the Adirondacks.We expect they will seek help for “gatewaycommunities” to use the park’s hugeamounts of public lands, wild waterwaysand public trails as an economic advantage.

Still, those r epresentatives will have tostruggle to be hear d in a gr oup whose pri-

mary focus is on mor e urban ar eas outsidethe Adirondack Park. Plans to create 10 jobsmight have the same beneficial impact on

an Adirondack town as 100new jobs in a nearby city .Which pr oject is mor e likelyto get the REDC’s attention?

Long term, it would be bet-ter for the Adirondacks —both economically and envi-ronmentally — if ther e wasone, state-funded economicdevelopment plan developedjust for the Adirondack Park.It is our hope that Gov .Cuomo will r ecognize theAdirondack Park’s uncom-mon cir cumstances anddevelop a new , game-chang-

ing appr oach. Ther e ar e many logical andfinancially beneficial changes he can makeby r earranging some of his own agenciesand r efocusing their ener gies on vitalissues.

There is no r eason, for example, for theDepartment of Environmental Conservationto manage the Adirondack For est Pr eservefrom two r egional of fices, one of which isnot even located inside the park. This leadsto inconsistent policies and confusion aboutwhy DEC exercises its discretion differentlyon the eastern two-thirds of the park’s pub-lic lands (Region 5) than it does in the west-ern one-third (Region 6).

The Adirondack Park Agency is the onlystate agency whose sole focus is on thepark. Yet the agencies that wer e supposedto be integrated into the APA’s work —DEC, the Department of State and Empir eState Development Corporation — don’t dothe same. Each should have a full timeeffort focused on the Adirondack Park, per-haps in the same of fice complex as the ParkAgency. They alr eady occupy seats asagency designees to the APA. Isn’t it time toconsider a one-stop-shop appr oach toachieve a mor e cost-ef fective and ef ficientdelivery of state goods and services?

In fact, it makes sense to consider com-bining the work of all four into a singleAdirondack Park Administration. Becausethe park is lar ger than most New Englandstates, it should have branch of fices spreadaround the park. This would curb the needfor r esidents to travel long distances toattend public meetings, apply for permits orseek assistance with community-develop-ment grants and business loans.

The Park Agency/Administration wouldfinally be able to serve the unique economicneeds of the Adirondack Park communities.It would support sustainable, compatibleeconomic development while pr otectingwater quality, wildlife and the park’s wildcharacter.

A new economic vision for the Adirondacks: One park, one agency

More about the North Country RegionalEconomic Development Council

Your editorial r egarding the North Country RegionalEconomic Development Council was on the mark in termsof noting the need for a distinct conversation regarding theunique economic needs within the Adirondack Park.However, it was premature in that it came ahead of the fullstory.

The North Country Chamber has been joined with othereconomic inter ests in the r egion in highlighting the find-ings of the Adirondack Park Regional Assessment andstressing the fact that past state economic developmentstrategies such as Empire Zones have largely been unhelp-ful in the Adirondacks as they have tended to str ess suchthings as manufacturing and lar ger job counts. W e havecontinuously advocated for the development of a strategytailored to the Adirondack Park, citing a sense of ur gencygiven some of the troubling findings of APRAP in terms ofcommunity and economic sustainability in manyAdirondack areas.

The Governor's r egion-by-region appr oach finally pr o-vides an opportunity to addr ess the dif ferent challengesand opportunities in all areas of the North Country, includ-ing the Adirondacks, and he is to be applauded for this seachange in how the state will determine and support eco-nomic development.

And while the council covers the broader North Countryregion for many practical r easons, the first RegionalCouncil meeting on August 5th included two things of r el-evance to this topic:

First, it was explicitly noted that the North Countryactually consists of four sub-r egions, the Adirondack Parkbeing one. And the final plan must take note of the assetsand opportunities in all four ar eas, seeing that all ar eincluded and then knitted together in a compr ehensivestrategy.

Secondly, a specific Adirondack Park sub-group is beingcreated and will be headed by Bill Farber , Chair of theHamilton County Boar d of Supervisors and a r ecognizedleader in advocating for Adirondack interests. It is hopedthat this gr oup will become a cr oss-regional group, some-thing specifically encouraged in the Governor's plans,bringing in voices fr om those portions of the park whichare in the Capital and Mohawk Valley regions. This actual-ly creates an opportunity for Adirondack needs and issuesto be hear d not only thr ough one r egional council butthree, which could prove advantageous.

And we see this Adirondack Park sub-group carrying onas a working gr oup well beyond the initial cr eation of afirst set of plans later this year , and becoming an on-goingvehicle for strategic conversations, r ecommendations andadvocacy.

The council's working gr oups and other ef forts will bequickly unfolding in the coming weeks, with an extr emelychallenging timetable that r equires full completion of afive-year strategy by November that can then be competi-tive with the submissions from the nine other regions. Andthere will be a number of opportunities announced forinput, including an envisioned for um in the centralAdirondacks among other sessions and other means foractive exchange.

Jeers to getting jeeredI just wanted to start out by thanking all the fans that

came out to see wr estling superstar Mick Foley . We wer erecently jeered in another paper for not being fan-friendlyat a r ecent event, so I thought I would give a little r eplyback to that.

At the FYE signing, it is not that unusual to have to pur-chase an item to get a signatur e; it's pr etty standard. Thiswas a FYE corporate decision, since the event was held atFYE, and I found FYE to be the utmost professionals at thisevent, doing what the store wanted them to do. It is a busi-ness, so I do thank FYE and their gr eat staff there.

Mr. Foley was more than nice to all his fans, taking timeto sign a lot more than one item that was pr esented to him— chatting, taking pictur es. So, yes, ther e was a little waitfor the next person to see him.

There was an 8 x 10 photo provided, not a cheap piece ofpaper as was r epresented in this other jeer ,(clearlyhearsay). Mr. Foley was to be ther e for only two hours butstayed longer to make sur e everyone was taken car e of,then proceeded to take pictures with the staff at FYE. Sure,we did not raise a lot of money; we work very closely withthe team we chose to work with, they ar e a class act ofwomen and we thank them (The Angels),but after the deci-sion to have a purchase done at the door, we were only try-ing to do what we could with what was presented to us. Werespect FYE and their business decision. Once again, thiswas their store. We go by the r ules — tons of security wasin place for the event.

We thank Champlain Centre and Russ and Dana for theirgreat team work. Not any pr oblems at all, considering youpay $325 for Yankee tickets, just to have the players totallyignore your childr en. You paid for a DVD and for $10, alifetime memory of meeting Mr. Foley and having your pic-ture with him.

We work very har d to bring these entertainers to yourtown, and the bigger events brings business into yourtown. To be jeer ed liked this I thought was unfair when itwas clearly a hearsay situation. W e thank DentonPublications for giving us a chance to r e-speakout on this.Mick Foley's show at Therapy in downtown Plattsbur ghwas a gr eat show, and we thank Therapy for being one ofthe gr eatest places I've been and seen in Plattsbur gh.Check them out.

In closing, once again, we thank the fans — without youthere is no show! So, show your support to all events thathead your way!

Mayor’s Cup celebrates another successMayor ’s Cup 2011 can easily be compared to the shifting

winds of sailing.Nine months of planning, all things on pace, then came

the unpr ecedented flooding of Lake Champlain that sentthe entire region, including our festival, adrift.

After many weeks of wear and tear on the soul of ourcommunity, it was mor e important than ever to find a r ea-son to say, “Goodbye, flood waters ... Hello, summer!”

Call it good timing or good luck, with Mayor ’s Cupweekend came drier weather, and, like colorful spinnakers,brighter spirits and a r eason to celebrate.

We would like to express our gratitude to the hard-work-ing members of the Mayor ’s Cup Or ganizing Committee,City of Plattsbur gh employees, community volunteers,Sunrise Rotary , Center for the Arts and SUNY AlumniAssociation.

You helped bring the people of New York, Vermont andQuebec together for a four -day waterfr ont celebration ofmusic, fir eworks, sailing, boat parade, barbecue, biking,kayaking, basketball, cir cus, arts, kids activities, and somuch more.

Many people may not be awar e that the Mayor ’s CupFestival is funded thr ough the financial support of localand r egional businesses. A special thanks to all of oursponsors and supporters for helping to make Mayor ’s Cup2011 a huge success, despite the excess water .

Finally, congratulations to Matt Spiegel, our 201 1 SpiritAward r ecipient; the cr ew of Soundwave for winning thecoveted Mayor ’s Cup; and the cr ew of Liverpool Jar ge forwinning the Rotary Cup; and thanks to all boaters andcrew for their loyal participation in our r egatta and boatparade.

As we work ourway into themonth of August,

once again there are signs ofchange as back to sch ooladvertising has begun! Thisfall, in the Bassett home,our son will enter PotsdamState as a fr eshman. Likemany other families, we ar eexcited for him as we alsoprepare for changes in ourhome.

In July , the ClintonCounty Fair dodged the tra-ditional week of showers but in its placehad to manage some of the hottest temper-atures of the season. Congratulations toGlenn and the Fair Board for their workand another outstanding event.

Though July was a little less hectic forus we r emained busy . Most r ecently wehave been working with the Kohl’sDepartment Stores. They have been in dis-cussion with our Planning and CodesDepartments. Kohl’s would be a welcomedaddition to our local retail market. Also,work on the new T exas Road Houseramped up last month in anticipation of afall opening.

With two public hearings behind us, wecontinued to move forwar d with a newlocal law to regulate the management ofsolid waste. We also began our kick-offmeetings with FEMA to addr ess r eim-

bursement for town expensesincurred during the springflood.

As usual ther e were manymeetings, committees andpresentations to participatein. At the end of the secondquarter, sales tax r emainedup and we ar e cautiouslyoptimistic that those pr o-ceeds will be above what webudgeted for 201 1. Thi s isgood news as we have beenworking to do upgrades thatwill pay dividends in the

future by r educing our ener gy costs. W ehave also been working with a veryaggressive highway-paving budget thissummer. The good weather has enabledour Highway cr ew to make measurableprogress and hopefully we will achieveour goals before the quarry closes this fall.

Though ther e is new optimism comingfrom Albany the economy r emains fragileand many North Country families r emainuncertain about their future. Still, I remainconfident that the town of Plattsburgh willcontinue to make steady economicprogress for the rest of this year and next.

Best wishes to everyone for a safe monthof August and enjoy the second half ofsummer!

Bernie Bassett is supervisor of the town ofPlattsburgh.

July finally br oughtsummer weather! Hotand humid was the

norm and it continues. Fallis right around the corner soenjoy the rest of summer!

As usual, we were busy inCity Hall. The 4th of JulyParade and The Mayor ’sCup & Regatta wer e heldand good weather pr e-vailed. Fireworks were heldfor both events. The Paradeof Lights, downtown enter-tainment, and the sailingwere well attended. I want to thank allof our sponsors, Sunrise Rotary , cityemployees, Beth Carlin, and Y106.3 forall of their support and assistance. ThePlattsburgh Public Library was the loca-tion for the kick-off for the New YorkState Summer Reading Pr ogramannouncement.

We continue to host fishing tourna-ments which ar e very important to thearea. W e also continue to meet withFEMA officials with the hopes of finan-cial support for all those af fected byflood damage. I visited the StrandTheatre with Stephens Mundy for a tourand was very impr essed with theprogress of this pr oject. When theStrand opens it will most certainlysolidify downtown but will be veryimportant to the entire area as well.

As always, I dealt withthe many constituentconcerns and complaintswhich ar e always verytime consuming. Some ofthe issues we ar e dealingwith include downtownparking, animal contr olrelated pr oblems, r oadconstruction/traffic, thefootbridge, Saranac T railproject complain ts, andneighbor/landlord r ela-tions.

Of course, r egardlesshow we handle these issues it alwaysseems I am at fault but we just do thebest we can to work these problems out!I am pleased and appr eciate the cityconstruction pr ojects and developmentwhich indicates to me the economy ischallenging but is moving ahead slowly.

We will begin our budget sessions inearly August which always concern me.Each and every budget we have workedon since becoming mayor have been dif-ficult and this one is no exception. Themayor ’s budget will be pr esented to thepublic and to the Common Council byOct. 1 at the latest.

Everyone enjoy the end of the summerwith friends and family! Thanks.

BidLinx to helpsmall businessesfind gov’t bidopportunities

PLATTSBURGH — TheNew Y ork StateProcurement AssistanceCenter at the StateUniversity of New York atPlattsburgh’s NorthCountry Small BusinessDevelopment Center isnow of fering “BidLinx,” anew service to help localfirms find leads to govern-ment contracts.

BidLinx is a W eb-basedgovernment contract bid-matching service that mon-itors thousands of bidsources on the Internet andsends e-mail notices ofopportunities tailor ed tomatch a f irm’s p roducts,services and cap abilities.Bid sources include federalgovernment agenciesincluding military; stateagencies and authorities;county and local govern-ments; all 50 states; U.S.territories; and interna-tional government web-sites.

"A bid-matching servicecan cost hundr eds, some-times thousands, of dol-lars,” said Jim King, statedirector of the SBDC, “As aresult of funds r eceivedfrom the Small BusinessJobs Act, we are pleased tooffer BidLinx free ofcharge to NYSSBDC clientsstatewide.”

In 2010, the federal gov-ernment awar ded $98 bil-lion in government con-tracts exclusively to smallbusinesses, the lar gest sin-gle-year incr ease in more

When I was a kid —way befor e theWorld W restling

Foundation, E.T . or even StarWars — the Satur day eveningentertainment wasn’t a nightout at the movies, it waswatching black bears gor gethemselves on table scraps atthe Newcomb dump.

Back before it became polit-ically incorr ect to heave yourbags of trash into the bigcrater in the earth, dumps inlocales like Newcomb, LongLake and T upper Lake wer elegendary for nightly visitsfrom br uins who became supersized on dis-carded leftovers.

We’d kick back in ratty lawn chairs andwatch them for hours as house flies buzzedaround their tiny clamshell ears. W e’d givethem names like Bone Cr usher, Pizza Face andBudweiser.

Oh how we’d chuckle.Locals would recognize them year after year

and would speak about them over morning cof-fee.

They’d say things like, “Pizza Face looks likehe’s a muf fin over 600 pounds this year .” And,“I nearly smacked Budweiser this morningwith my pickup.”

Even mor e fun was watching the visitingflatlanders who — for getting the fact thatBudweiser, Pizza Face and Bone Cr usher wer ewild creatures capable of swatting them of f theplanet like a black fly — would attempt to feedthem by hand or get close enough to add one tothe background of a family portrait.

I once saw a guy nearly lose his hand in anattempt to feed a marshmallow to one absolute-ly humongous bear as his thr ee young childrenlooked on in horror. Of course, we later namedthe bear Marshmallow.

Oh, those were the days.Today, things ar e dif ferent. Dumps ar e now

transfer stations (just exactly wher e do they

transfer all that great bear foodto anyway?) and bears havebeen forced to fall back on theirnatural instincts for food.

Of course, being the oppor-tunists they are, bears will mostlikely always step on the toes ofhumans now and again.

Such was the case last week-end when my kids, Harrisonand Malena, discover ed that abear had climbed into the fami-ly car while it sat in the drive-way of their Schr oon Lakehome.

The only r eal casualty was atube of sunscreen and container

of baby wipes the bear took a hankering to —but I’ll let my kids tell you the full story . Theirversion is attached to this column.

Great job on the story , by the way , guys. Ithink we should call the bear “sunscr een.” (Ican picture them giggling on the couch at thatone.)

Senior wildlife biologist Ed Reed said thenumber of nuisance bear complaints inDEC Re gion 5 has been very low this year , atjust 20. Most have been r eports of raidedgarbage cans and bird feeders.

“Normally we have more like 150 complaintsby now,” Reed said.

Reed attributes the low number of com-plaints to above average natural food sour cesfor bears, like berries, apples, black cherries,acorns and beechnuts.

Bear complaints normally rise during yearswhen food sour ces like these ar e scar ce, oftenduring very dry spells.

That was not a pr oblem this spring, and thenatural food offerings have bears fat and happyand out of the back yar ds of most of us.

Unfortunately for hunters, seasons of aboveaverage sour ces of food usually mean belowaverage bear harvests during the early and reg-ular season, as the bruins become hard to locateand pattern.

We shall see if that trend holds true when the

early bear season in these parts opens Sept. 17.In the meantime, I know one bear that

shouldn’t be burning the roof of its mouth any-time soon.

That one was for you, Harrison and Malena.

John Ger eau is managing editor of DentonPublications and a very pr oud father of two aspiringauthors. He can be r eached at [email protected].

Editor’s Note: The following is a firsthand account written by my son Harrison, age 10, with helpfrom my daughter Malena, age 8, about an encounter they had with a wild bear at their home inSchroon Lake. They titled the piece, “The Sunday Bear .”

By Harrison and Malena Gereau

On Sunday morning, me, my mom and my sister wer e walking to the car to go tochurch. Mom stopped us as we approached the car and low and behold a bear hadgotten into our car . It looked as if the bear climbed into the car thr ough the win-

dow. There were paw prints all over the car door . My sister said that she thought the bearhad a cub, because there were small and big paw prints.

Last week, we lost our cat named Bitty Boo. W e think the bear had something to do withthat. She just wandered into the woods and has not come back yet.

That same morning after the bear got into the car , we figur ed out that he or she had bitinto the new can of sunscr een and it squirted all over the inside and outside of the car . Heor she also bit into the tip of our mother ’s car seat. One other thing that the bear almostdemolished was a whole container of baby wipes! Those things were all that were inside thecar that night.

It was very fun to tell friends about the cr eature, but we sure hope he’s gone away.

My son, Harrison, inspects a black bear I took in 2003, not far from the site of a recent encounter my kidshad with another bear, which they wrote about below.
