Charles Blackman goes into his 20th year as a Salvation Army Christmas bell ringer in Tupper Lake

By OLIVER REIL Staff Writer

T U P P E R L A K E C h a r l e s

Blackman is this year’s Volunteer of the Year, nominated for his nearly two decades of service to the Tupper Lake community as a Salvation Army bell ringer.

“ W e l l , I ’ m v e r y h o n o r e d , ” Blackman said in his Tupper Lake home the day he heard the news. “To be honest with you, there are more people who are more deserving, because they do it all year long ”

I n t h e l o c a l c o m m u n i t y , Blackman is well known as the bell ringer who brings holiday c h e e r t o t o w n w h i l e r a i s i n g money for the local food pantry outside Shaheen’s IGA grocery store around the holidays.

Blackman moved to town from New Jersey in 2003 and began ringing the bell in 2005 His wife, Joan, said that when she meets

someone she doesn’t know, she says, “Do you go to Shaheen’s b e t w e e n T h a n k s g i v i n g a n d Christmas, do you grocery shop?

I’m Mrs. Bell Ringer,” and they catch on immediately

F r o m t h e M o n d a y a f t e r

Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve, Blackman can be seen outside ringing his bell every morning from around 8:30 a m to 1 p m

This will be his 19th year

“I get to listen to Christmas music, talk to nice people and h o p e f u l l y I ’ m h e l p i n g s o m ebody,” he said “That’s kind of a nice way to spend a morning ”

Blackman said that this past season was very successful, but added that the fundraising effort always is.

“People were, as always, very kind, very generous,” he said.

B l a c k m a n p o i n t e d o u t t h a t Tupper Lake is not a wealthy community, and yet he feels the

generosity there is unwavering

The average donation is $1 or $2, with the occasional person leaving $50 or more The bell ringer raised $6,077 in his one month’s worth of mornings outside the supermarket in 2023.

The biggest donations he’s ever gotten have all been anonymous

One day, he was packing up his truck when he saw a man stick something in the kettle, which was still out. Blackman yelled “thanks” and walked over, only to find nearly $400. Later that day, when he was counting the day’s donations, he found another bundle of three or four $50s. He once received a check for around $500 with all the person’s info scribbled over and a squiggle for a signature

“I tell people I live in a beautiful area filled with nice people,” Blackman said “What else do you need?”

‘A very special thing’

Lake Placid Ecumenical Food Pantry

By SYDNEY EMERSON Staff Writer

LAKE PLACID

Half an hour before closing for the week, the Lake Placid Ecumenical Food Pantry was still in full swing in the last week of February, with toddlers running around underfoot and volunteers chatting with clients as they filled out paperwork. By noon, they had served 55 households in three hours and had run out of cooking oil, ketchup, cheese, meat and other staples

The volunteers worked through it all with smiles on their faces

“When you help others, it makes you feel better,” said longtime volunteer Bernie Clarke She and her husband, Carmine Salvo, work at the pantry every Friday “When we get in the car when we leave, we’re exhausted. But it’s really good exhaustion ”

The food pantry is open to the public from 9 a.m. to noon every Friday in the basement of St Agnes Church in Lake Placid. Despite limited hours, the demand is high for the pantry’s services and

open every Friday

The Lake Placid Ecumenical Food Pantry provided more than 28,000 meals to local families in 2023.

there is no shortage of volunteers Linda Young manages the food pantry She said volunteers hold the food pantry together

“I can’t praise my volunteers enough,” she said. “Anybody that

Pantry

comes to work there’s a reason They all feel it’s necessary. They get a fulfillment from it Volunteering is a very special thing ”

On Thursdays, a group of volunteers restocks the storage room in preparation for Friday’s clients Friday mornings starting at 9 a m sharp, clients begin to line up at the door on Hillcrest Avenue

When clients enter the food pantry, they are greeted by front desk volunteers who take down their contact information a requirement from the regional food bank and give them a list of available food items The clients go through the list and circle or highlight anything they might want or need, and then the list is handed over to volunteers in the storage room. Those volunteers go through the list and pack shopping bags with as many items are available When supplies run short, they sometimes check with clients about substitutions

the local economy

Many of the canned staples come from the regional food bank in amounts determined by the food pantry’s number of clients. The majority of items in the storage room, however, are donated: refrigerated or frozen goods, dog and cat food, toiletries and diapers

“(The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) does not give any toiletries or feminine products So this is very, very much in demand,” Clarke said “SNAP and food stamps can give you the food, but they all want shampoo and soap ”

Donations are a quieter form of volunteerism volunteering one’s resources or income Clarke said donations come from all over the community Local schools and churches regularly hold food drives and the Zonta Club of the Adirondacks supply feminine hygiene products Others donate toothbrushes, soap and baby wipes.

The food pantry has some unusual volunteers who monitor food waste, too: a herd of goats owned by another volunteer On the occasion that expired food which cannot be handed out to clients is donated, the goats get the expired goods as a snack, ensuring no food goes to waste

According to Clarke, 55 households is a “typical” Friday for the food pantry. In the fall, they had their biggest day ever at 78 clients Many of the food pantry’s clients are students from South America or Eastern Europe working in Lake Placid on a J1 visa Clarke said the food pantry holds the Lake Placid community together in many ways including feeding

“The hotels and restaurants couldn’t function without the J1s,” she said “In a roundabout way, we’re helping the hotels because their staff couldn’t work without the food we give them.”

Young said that the food pantry is about much more than making sure people’s stomachs are full.

“The food you need to give out You need to give out the clothes and the shoes But you need to give out the support. That’s where it all comes in, she said. “(It’s about) fulfilling something that needs to be done and having a good feeling of knowing that you’re touching someone else’s life.”

The food pantry has a deep bench of volunteers Some show up every week, like Clarke and Salvo, while others come when they can Clarke estimated that around half of the volunteers are retirees, but some are also doctors, registered nurses and lawyers. Young does not schedule the volunteers; they come in as they can

“There could be even two or three of us and we’d get it done,” Young said “I cannot praise the people that come to volunteer (enough). ... Everything just works ”

Clarke said she and her husband love volunteering because its a hands-on way to give back to the community

“I like it because it’s really tactile You’re not sending money to somebody and it’s not something you do twice a year,” she said “It’s emotional, but at the end of the day, the reason that it happens is because everybody pulls together ”

A beginner’s guide to the IPW 101

By AARON MARBONE Staff Writer

The Ice Palace is a staple

THE staple of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival The very name imbues wonder and magic into the air. But it doesn’t appear by magic

It takes a lot of hard work from a lot of volunteers to build the palace on the shore of Lake Flower. These folks go by the name of the Ice Palace Workers 101, a faux union representing the dozens of spudders, slush makers, knuckleboom loader operators, ice carvers and saw wielders who strike out on the ice each morning in late January to cut thousands of pounds of ice from Pontiac Bay and stack it all up into a royal palace

The Ice Palace is a thing of majesty, but the process is a thing of beauty in and of itself

This structure is the best and biggest representation of the spirit of Carnival and the spirit of volunteerism in Saranac Lake People volunteer their time and bodies to build something weird and wild

Six-foot long hand saws are fun to carry around while building the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Ice Palace.

that thrills their neighbors, entices visitors and creates excitement in what can be a dull time of year

Several times this week, I’ve heard people wonder, “If you added up all the pay for all the people volunteering to do this work, what would it cost?” They do it for free and it is tough work. It’s cold and wet, physically exhausting and a little dangerous But there’s a reason people return year after year to do it.

There are IPW members who

live hours away but come up just to be part of the Ice Palace build. Some of them don’t even stick around for Carnival That’s how much they enjoy the process itself.

For six years I’ve watched the IPW do their thing photographed them, admired them, bragged to my friends and family about them But I never joined

them Doing so is easier than it seems

This year’s Winter Carnival queen, Liz Murray, is largely responsible for my joining the IPW We work together at the Enterprise and every January, she’s always raving about the Ice Palace and the IPW She’s a professional volunteer recruiter, always finding people to rope into helping put on events, kick start organizations or pitch in That is what the Ice Palace is all about

And now it’s my job to pass that message on to you, and to tell you joining the IPW 101 is a decision you won’t regret

Last year, the IPW was in crunch time Given only a week to build the monument to Carnival before it began, they worked long days and late nights

This time of desperation was what

prompted me to join them for an evening build after work

And I caught the bug

This year, I pledged, with the support of Enterprise Managing Editor Elizabeth Izzo, to spend much more time at the Ice Palace And I was greatly rewarded for it with the joy of community, the pride in building something incredible and the aches and pains

I’m so impressed with everyone’s ability to do this day after day I was only working half days and ended up feeling sore after most of them

After working a full day cutting, spudding and hauling slush last Saturday, I woke up on Sunday morning and I couldn’t move my neck Spudding worked muscles in my back and shoulders that I never use. These are some of what Joe Plumb calls “Ice Palace muscles” tissues in the body placed there for one purpose: building the Ice Palace

Sometimes people say I look like a “mountain man ” But you

know who they don’t say that to?

Mountain men When you see a mountain man, you don’t have to say it It’s plain as day

Maybe it’s the beard.

A bunch of the regulars at the Ice Palace are local contractors who lend their skills, tools and strength to the construction Being out there gave me a renewed appreciation for their work Some people do this for a living Even then, contractor Darren Dalton said the Ice Palace is the hardest work on his body he does all year

Sometimes there’s a bit of “hurry up and wait” going on at the Ice Palace Fortunately, there’s also a lot of skilled conversationalists out there While waiting around for the work to begin, everyone is chatting catching up on life, learning about each other, swapping stories, sharing laughs, ribbing each other and having deep conversations

Murray has always said there’s certain people you only see at the Ice Palace. That is so true. Some of these people I hadn’t seen since last year’s build That’s partially because some of them are only in town for this special time

Kyle Tisdale lived in Saranac Lake for 15 years but moved to Vermont after last Carnival When he moved, he knew he’d come back for the Ice Palace build

“It was always going to happen,” he said.

So this year, using his vacation time from work, he came back to town to put in hours sweating at the Palace He said he will always do this.

“It’s always the happiest time of the year,” Tisdale said “I get to hang out with a bunch of buddies and have a bunch of fun ”

The IPW cure

I started work on the second day of the build, Tuesday, Jan. 23. Driving in that morning from my home in Bloomingdale, listening to the news on the radio and it was all war and politics Ugly business It’s important stuff to know about, especially in my profession, but I felt sad for the world. A hopeless sadness. It feels like there’s not much that can be done about it sometimes

My life is comfortable, but for much of the world, it is not The Ice Palace was a chance for me to make myself uncomfortable to

(Continued on Page 19)

(Continued from Page 18)

bring more joy into the world. That’s part of the spirit of Carnival All these people giving of their time sacrificing something to bring people happiness The beautiful thing about that is it does not take much sacrifice to produce joy many times more great than what was put into it And the work is fun

Even while hard at work, everyone has a grin They’re working for a higher calling not a paycheck. Many people seemed to be there with someone in mind someone who they were building the palace for a child, a family member, a friend. Maybe someone who is not here anymore The Ice Palace is a gift in the truest sense of the word in that it takes sacrifice and has love put behind it

I could go on about the metaphysical impacts of the Ice Palace as a force for good in the world, but, really, you should go see for yourself.

Bored? Join the IPW Lonely? Join the IPW Trying to be active? Join the IPW. Feeling a lack of pride in the human race? Join the IPW

The beautiful thing about volunteering is it grows exponentially There are so many people who support the work of the IPW, too. From Paul Smith’s College loaning them its knuckleboom loader to put blocks on the high towers, to the numerous local restaurants that donate soup and pastries, to the Women’s Civic Chamber, who bring coffee, hot cocoa, homemade energy bars and breakfast goodies to keep everyone warm and fed

Building the Ice Palace also makes one feel tapped into an ancient tradition Not only of Ice Palace building, but of the great human tradition of constructing monuments This is as close as you can get to feeling like an ancient people building some monument for a reason that will be unclear a millennium in the future It’s like you’re working on the Moai Easter Island heads.

But it isn’t building a monument to a god or a king It’s a celebration of the community as a

whole And there is a pervasive sense of working as part of a collective.

Join the union

The IPW is always open to new members and they are especially looking for young people to join. Not only do they want their muscles, they need someone to pass all the ice harvesting and Palace construction knowledge they have down to, so the Ice Palace can continue to be a Saranac Lake tradition for generations to come

It can seem intimidating to get into.

But there’s no corporate structure The organization of the build is decentralized There are of course leaders, but there’s not a bureaucracy weighing it down. If you ask, someone will give you something to do

The process of building the Ice Palace is a great clockwork machine, and every part needs to be there for it to work as efficiently as possible

For example, slushing is not a glamorous job. It’s wet actually, the wettest It doesn’t have the cool tools And it doesn’t happen up high or on a frozen lake. But it is essential essential to the success of the palace. If the palace is not safe, it cannot be enjoyed to the fullest extent Slush, and thereby slushers, are literally the glue

that holds the palace together

And of course, the slush makers! Slush doesn’t grow on trees. When I first arrived, I looked for what I should do and someone handed me a six-foot long saw with teeth the size of a megalodon’s. Matt Webster taught me the proper technique to saw with using the arms, not the back in a sort of circular motion. This is what I imagine operating a railroad handcar is like.

After the first couple strokes, I felt like I could do it forever After 10 blocks, my head started to swim Muscles I haven’t used in a while started to ache But words of encouragement kept me going. When Carnival Chairman Rob Russell came over and said, “Hey, you’re pretty good at that,” I kept pumping away, but I’m sure he could see me beaming through the back of my head

If you want to join the IPW next year, show up and bring multiple layers of clothes, microspikes and an open mind to learning. Former Carnival Committee Chair Jeff Branch said if I did well this year, they’ll double my salary next year

What to know when applying for a Limited Liability Company

When forming a new business and a p p l y i n g f o r a n L L C ( L i m i t e d Liability Company), there are laws you must comply with for it to be properly formed.

According to Section 206 of the New York State Limited Liability Company Law (LLCL), it requires the following:

• Within 120 days after the effect i v e n e s s o f t h e i n i t i a l a r t i c l e s o f organization an LLC must publish a copy of the articles of organization or a notice related to the formation of the LLC in two newspapers, which are paid publications.

• The newspapers for publication must be designated by the county clerk of the county in which the office of the LLC is located.

• A notice which is published in a newspaper other than the newspaper(s) designated by the county clerk is not a publication required by LLCL Section 206.

• LLC notices must run six successive weeks, in two newspapers of the county with paid circulation and a P e r i o d i c a l M a i l i n g P e r m i t O n e newspaper to be printed weekly and one newspaper to be printed daily, designated by the county clerk.

• A specified sworn affidavit of publication with a copy of the original notice must be filled with the NYS Department of State

N o t f o l l o w i n g t h e s e l a w s f o r a L i m i t e d L i a b i l i t y C o m p a n y c o u l d result in it not being recognized or legally binding, and if challenged, could result in a costly lesson.

For instructions regarding publication of an LLC, consult your county clerk or the Department of State’s website.
