SOGGY COMPETITION

This Week RUNNING
By Shawn Ryan shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ A chilly, drizzling rain and a late start didnÕ t dampen the competition at the fifth annual Plattsburgh Half Marathon April 27. With many competitors trying to lengthen their stay in the the dry, warm confines of the Plattsburgh Recreation Center at the base oval, the 8 a.m. start time came and went while hundreds of competitors were still filing out of the building toward the starting line. Anxious race directors and city police officers admonished stragglers to clear the road, and the race finally started about six minutes late. The roughly 800 runners and walkers finally stepped off to the cheers of the robust crowd in attendance to watch the CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

PLATTSBURGH — A mystery of sorts now anchors Plattsburgh’s War of 1812 Museum. Last fall, Nancy Maynard of Plattsburgh donated the museum a British anchor her husband Bill Sr. located and salvaged in 1987 in the lake, about 300 yards off their Point Au Roche property. After raising the anchor, it sat as a centerpiece in their yard until this past week, when it was relocated to Plattsburgh’s burgeoning museum row at the old base. The anchor, which weighs between 1,200 and 1,500 pounds, bears marks of the British Admiralty. So it definitely came off a British ship, according to museum Director Dave Deno. What he’s not sure about, he says, is whether it is from the Revolutionary War or War of 1812. ‘“It’s one of a kind, you’re definitely not going to find something like that around here,” says Deno. That particular type of anchor was used by the Admiralty throughout the 1700s and 1800s, making a cursory dating impossible.

Deno says there are several types of tests that can be done on the steel of the anchor and the wood of the shank. The shank, which is a cross-piece at the top of the anchor, is currently not on display because of its level of decomposition. Deno also says that there is a method that can be employed, called huing, which will strengthen the shank so it can someday be displayed as well. Staff at the museum will also be utilizing other sources of research to try to date the anchor, and determine the ship it came off. Ò ThereÕ s no wreckage down there that we know of,” says Deno. “I’m sure we’ll solve this mystery.” Deno and his small staff is also busy readying the soon to open Plattsburgh Air Force base museum, which will be across the road from the 1812 Museum. The new museum, he says, is coming together nicely. Several North Country residents have donated items for display, particularly photographs. Anyone with items to donate can contact Deno at 566-1812. The Air Force base museum will open its doors June 7.

Strides For James fun runs to benefit CCC scholarship First time run will be held at Miner Instit. May 10 By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com CHAZY — The Miner Institute will be opening its gates and displays May 10, as host of the second annual Strides For James fun runs. Last year’s event, held at Point Au Roche, attracted 250 runners and walkers, and gave the newly minted scholarship for an industrial/ technological student at Clinton Community College a $5,000 shot in the arm. James Wilson, of Chazy, was killed in a June, 2012 motorcycle accident. His family, along with his extended family at Jefford’s Steel where he worked, decided thet they would keep his memory alive through the scholarship and community events.
Ò We all loved James, and he was someone who would just come in and brighten your day. We started a bunch of different fundraisers. I was kind of pestering everyone to have the 5k and 10k,” said Noelle Eichenberger, of Jefford’s Steel. After last year’s race and other fundraising, the endowment in JamesÕ name is now large enough to offer a scholarship for the first time. The recipient of the first scholarship will be announced at this year’s run. Along with the run and a host of raffles and assorted fundraising activities, Strides for James will include all the attractions that make the Miner Institute a draw by itself. Nonrunners will have plenty to occupy themselves with during and after the races. “The component is the race, but you have a lot of opportunities with what Miner’s has to offer with the farming exhibits, excellent museum, etc.,” said James’ father Dean. “If you race
or you just want to visit for that day, there’ll be enough people here to take care of your cares and concerns. If you want to race, great, we’ll be glad to have you. If you don’t want to race, and you just want to visit and socialize and check out the exhibits, they’ll be putting on equine exhibits. “We like to keep the memory of James alive.” The day will kick off at 9 a.m. with a one mile children’s fun run, followed by a one mile walk
at 9:25 a.m. The 5 and 10 K runs step off at 10 a.m., following courses over both roads and fields inside and outside of the spralwing Miner complex. Unique to Strides for James, winners in each of the races will receive specially made, one of a kind custom steel cutouts made and donated by Jefford’s Steel. For more information or to register for one of the runs, contact stridesforjames@gmail.com.

SUNY broadcasting students take home awards
PLATTSBURGH — SUNY Plattsburgh communications students took home four national awards from the National Broadcasting Society conference in Los Angeles, Calif., this March. In addition, the entire Plattsburgh NBS chapter won the most improved chapter of the year award, and Christine Johnson, associate professor of communication studies, won the professional member of the year award — bringing the total of honors to six. The student winners were Derek Pollacchi, of Porter Corners, N.Y., for best video sports package; Nick Gismondi ‘13, originally of Oyster Bay, N.Y., and Nick Lagonia, of Austerlitz, N.Y., for best video program opener; Alex Backstrom, of Schenectady, N.Y., and Brian Caputo of New City, N.Y., for best video comedy segment; and Hilary Crannage, of Schuylerville, N.Y., and Matt Auten, of New City, N.Y., for best audio drama program or segment. “This is the first time we have won six national awards,” said Johnson, the chapter’s ad-
viser, who pointed to it as evidence of excellent student work and the dedication of faculty. About winning the professional member of the year award, Johnson said, “I was absolutely shocked and did not know that students had nominated me. I was very humbled to hear that I won.” “It was an honor to be there and participate,” said Josh Lattrelle, a TV/video production major and the president of Plattsburgh’s NBS chapter. Twenty-five Plattsburgh students attended this year’s conference, the largest number from any institution. According to Lattrelle, they had to compete against students from better-known communication departments, like the ones at the University of Florida, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Oklahoma, and University of Miami to win the awards. The National Broadcasting Society-Alpha Epsilon Rho is a student and professional so-
ciety with more than 120 chapters. It provides enrichment opportunities for those studying to enter television, broadcasting and related fields. The group’s annual conference allows students to learn from and network with broadcast
professionals from across the country. For more information about the conference or SUNY Plattsburgh’s communications offerings, contact Shakuntala Rao, chair, at 518-564-4291 or raos@plattsburgh.edu.

Burgh Editorial
For Sale: Act III
Y
ou may have seen yellow signs dotting the landscape. Those are auction notices for the abandoned houses and empty lots seized by Essex County for failure to pay taxes. By the time you read this, the county will have had a tax auction on April 30, the first since 2008, in an attempt to put these properties back into private hands. Officials are optimistic that the 130-someodd properties and parcels will be placed back on the tax rolls, thus generating much-needed income for cash-strapped municipalities and relieving towns of the liabilities and stigmas that are associated with these painful reminders of rural blight. We hope the properties sell, preferably to young people, business owners and other forward-looking folks who will be net assets to these communities, from Moriah to Wilmington. The county is ailing on just about every metric — its problems are well-documented and we neednÕ t revisit them here Ñ and most of these towns desperately need the income to sustain even the most basic services. But while we’d love to join in on the optimism, weÕ re alarmed at what we perceive to be a lack of contingency planning for what happens if these parcels, which range from the downright dreadful to the merely rustic on the march towards rehabilitation, fail to find buyers. Local officials just don’t have a Plan B. Moreover, they assume that in the event these properties are sold and placed back on the tax rolls, which are already stagnant as a result of the state-mandated cap, then weÕ ll all live happily ever after and we can turn our attention to other things. We don’t feel that way. In the event that the bottom drops out of this auction, and we have good reason to be feeling pessimistic after the steady drumbeat of rotten news all winter, it’s worth exploring additional options to ensure public discussion continues after the auctioneer’s gavel rises and falls. Look outward. Know what an EB-5 is? We do. It’s a federal immigration program that fast tracks the visa process for foreign investors in regional centers that are designated by the feds as areas to promote rural economic growth. Among other criteria, applicants must pledge to invest at least $1 million in something called “targeted employment areas.” Those are defined as rural areas experiencing unemployment of at least 150 percent of the national average rate, among other factors. Guess what the
North Country has? Clean air, open land and a targeted employment area. Guess what Mainland China doesn’t have? None of the above. Eighty percent of these EB-5 visas are awarded to Chinese nationals seeking investment opportunities in more favorable climes. This might be worth exploring for something as large as, say, the former Frontier Town lot in North Hudson that’s been moldering into the ground for the better part of two decades, the neglect of which is a slap in the face to American ingenuity. Build on trends. The farm-to-fork movement that emphasizes regionally-grown products to promote health and sustainability is a growing trend that reflects America’s desire for food products that aren’t manufactured in industrial complexes off the New Jersey Turnpike. Essex County is in a prime position to take advantage of this new phase in public consciousness with pockets of rich farmland and access to shipping routes that can zip fresh products, from veggies to syrup to microbrews, to eager regional buyers. A dependence on tourism shouldn’t be the region’s permanent Hail Mary pass when it comes to economic development and it might not be a bad idea to look past the short term gain of putting some of these mid-sized houses back on the tax rolls — or selling off empty parcels for residential development — in favor of a longer agricultural game with these trends in mind. Repurpose. We haven’t studied the dynamics of each structure in the auction and are unfamiliar with the status of each building. For those that are sturdy and sound and not teeming with nefarious Mad Max-type characters that would necessitate hitting the auto-destruct button, the county would do well to immediately put some of them to use, if not only temporarily and in trial programs. Zoning is a crapshoot in the North Country and it doesn’t seem entirely unfeasible that with the right amount of tax breaks, grant searching and community incentives, some of these properties — or even empty parcels — can be repurposed for shortterm uses that can benefit the community, from teen recreational centers to wi-fi hotspots for seasonal residents, as officials map out a longterm roadmap for the future. If Act I for these structures was their birth, and Act II was their prolonged period of decline and neglect, we hope that Act III will be by characterized by lawmakers working together, political differences aside, to ensure each vacant lot and empty structure won’t equate to missed possibilities, but rather untapped opportunities.

Fracking solution simple
Letters to the Editor
Surprised by editorial
To the Burgh:
To the Burgh:
With regard to the Burgh Editorial (April 26 issue), the solution to the fracking issue seems to me to be very simple. Forget a yes/no option at the State Level. Forget a yes/no option at the County level. Forget a yes/no option at the municipal level. Let each landowner enter into a contract with his/her Fracking Company of choice and let free enterprise take its course. But, require an ironclad provision in every contract that holds the Fracking Company accountable for any contamination of soil, groundwater, well water, neighboring property soil and water, municipal water supplies, reduction of property values, loss of farm or business income, etc. resulting from the fracking process. If there is a guarantee that no harm will come to the property owners in the vicinity of the fracking (size of vicinity to be determined and accepted by all concerned), or, in the event of harm, that suitable restitution and remediation will be made by the Fracking Company, then everybody wins. (Suitable restitution of course must include the provision of sufficient potable water to meet all harmed parties’ needs until proper remediation of the natural supply has been achieved.) The Fracking Company will be extra careful to ensure that no mistakes are made, because of the inevitable cost to them. The property owners will be protected and so will receive the financial benefits involved with leasing the fracking rights to the Fracking Company. The people who want fracking on their land can have it, and the people who don’t want fracking on their land don’t have to have it, also knowing that they are protected by a proximity clause in their neighbor’s contract. On a final note, I must take you to task on your use of the word “antidote” in your Burgh Editorial. The word you should have used is “anecdote”. An antidote is a drug administered to counteract the harmful effects of another drug. An anecdote is a tale told, the truth of which may or may not be verifiable. Don Mauer Piercefield, NY
I was surprised that in the midst of a generally good editorial a suggestion for improving education was by breaking unions. The growth of the middle class followed the growth of unions during the 20th century, as has the decline of the middle class followed the ongoing efforts to bust unions. The only people/institutions that truly benefit by the destruction of unions are corporations, their highly overpaid chief executives, and shareholders. The lack of unions has allowed corporations like Walmart get away with paying their employees so little they are eligible for food stamps. Has there been corruption in unions? Sure just as there has been corruption and greed on Wall Street that lead to economic collapse we have been suffering through. The solution isn’t eliminating unions any more than it is eliminating corporations. It’s in reform, transparency, good governance and so on. The reality is we all benefit from collective bargaining. That said, too often the collective bargaining is just focused on renumeration and not enough on improving the product, in this case, how we educate our children. We need the collective voice in our planning to set goals and measure outcomes – outcomes that are more than just how one does on a test as we need to enhance our kids’ creativity, moral judgement, sense of responsibility, and ability to be a good citizen along with their skills in reading, writing, math, science, and athletics.

2014 Pet Walk to be held
PLATTSBURGH — The Adirondack Humane Society is once again hosting its annual Petwalk at Melissa Penfield Park on May 4. This is our largest fundraising event of the year and we are asking for your support as a corporate sponsor. Each year our volunteers set out to raise over $200,000 to cover the basic needs of the dogs and cats that have been abandoned and brought to our shelter. Many of the pets that we see are also in need of advanced care. Sponsorship would not only assist us in providing daily care, but it will also allow us to prepare our residents for their forever homes. When a pet is brought into our shelter they receive much needed immunizations, health screenings, and each pet is spayed or neutered. Once complete, they are ready for adoption. In the past 15 years we have adopted out over 5,000 wonderful pets! The Adirondack Humane Society also operates a public spay and neuter assistance program. This program assists individuals with funds for this important surgery which helps significantly reduce animal overpopulation. To date, more than 5,400 local pets have benefited from this program.

“June Moon” to be held at SUNY
PLATTSBURGH — The SUNY Plattsburgh Department of Theater will present “June Moon” May 1 to 4 at the Hartman Theatre in the Myers Fine Arts Building. The play, written by Ring Lardner and George S. Kaufman is directed by faculty member Laura-Jean Schwartau-Swanson. “What drew me to the play initially were the rave reviews of the 1997 revival off-Broadway. In its reviews, the New York Times compared subsequent shows to the high standard of the ‘June Moon’ production,” Schwartau-Swanson said. “June Moon” is a bitterly funny comedy about an up-and-coming songwriter’s struggle in the dog-eat-dog world of Tin Pan Alley. The story follows a young man from the sticks searching for success in the music publishing business who gets caught up in a love triangle or two. Set in 1929 in sophisticated New York City, at the ending of the Roaring ’20s and the eve of the Great Depression, music, love and laughs reign in this piece of theater history. “June Moon” runs Thursday, May 1, through Saturday, May 3, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 4, at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at the door, one hour before the show or, in advance, at the Angell College Center desk. The May 1 performance is buy one, get one free, at the door only. Prices are $2 for SUNY Plattsburgh students; $8 for SUNY Plattsburgh faculty and staff, seniors and students; and $10 for general admission.

Thirteen-point-one miles of running and walking were the antidote for the cold weather, and a highly competitive race heated up as it snaked its way through the drizzly city streets. Tupper Lake’s Michael Schram was back at the oval in one hour, 13 minutes and 13 seconds, beating out second place finisher Jeremy Drowne by a resounding 38 seconds. Plattsburgh’s Sara Dunham won the women’s division, crossing the finish line in one hour, 20 minutes even. She finished seventh overall.

Powdered alcohol yet another bad idea
T
he companies expecting to release powdered alcohol or “Palcohol” as it is being called on the market were disappointed as federal officials have temporarily halted its entrance into the marketplace. Palcohol manufacturers say that it is a matter of an incorrect label which will be quickly remedied. The use of powdered alcohol presents a number of serious potential dangers to young people. Young people are the targets of alcohol advertisers and those By Scot Hurlburt advertisers are very good at what they do. Advertisers have been most successful at associating “good times” with the use of alcohol. The commercials suggest that by drinking a certain brand of alcohol you will attract an attractive mate, have many friends and in some instances hit upon that transformative feeling that so many young people are in pursuit of as they strive to be viewed as an adult. I can only imagine the commercials for Palcohol, perhaps friends at a party all bring a packet of alcohol and mix drinks together as a show of group solidarity all the while looking oh so cool. Or perhaps a talking animal, kids view this presentation as magical, an animal of some sort sneezes the powder into drinks and says, it is so easy even I can do it.” According to industry sources, Palcohol will be available in many common forms such as, Margarita, Lemon Drop, Mojito, Cosmopolitan with others planned. Palcohol is meant to be mixed with water to produce a drink. Palcohol is made by allowing alcohol to absorb into a powdered carbohydrate. While it is not recommended, there will be those that will snort the powder in an effort to alter the intended experience. Powdered alcohol opens the door to many different abuse potentials. It would be possible to load up someone’s drink with many packets of alcohol without their knowledge if it was your intent to get them quickly intoxicated. In addition, some people are on medications that make alcohol deadly for them or those that have serious health issues that prohibit alcohol or those that are actually allergic to alcohol or are recovering alcohol users. All of these non-alcohol users would have no awareness that alcohol was around them. Powdered alcohol will make it much more difficult for school and college officials to keep young people safe from the dangers of alcohol. The risk of alcohol poisoning would also be greater as putting too many packets of Palcohol in a party where a mixed alcohol punch is being made as it would be more difficult to calculate how much is too much. The concept of powdered alcohol is not new and a number of patents have been filed over the years in the production of powdered alcohol. In 1970, General Mills produced an alcohol powder for a brief period of time. Because there are so many different kinds of alcohol, I have been wondering why anyone would want a product called powdered alcohol. Maybe powdered alcohol will be aimed at space travelers where space and weight are very important. Astronauts can simply load up on powdered alcohol before being launched into space without any heavy alcohol bottles. Another possibility would be to put the alcohol powder into a paper straw like they used to do with sweet candy powder. It would also be good for someone taking a long bicycle trip where only one hand would be available to drink alcohol and the risk of spilling alcohol would be great. I admit that these applications are unlikely. I suspect that the biggest user of this product will be someone who is looking to conceal their alcohol use. I also suspect that this will in all likelihood be a young person. Powdered alcohol will certainly become a favorite of young people who need to consume alcohol without being detected and they need to consume alcohol as quickly as possible so that they will not be detected while using alcohol. It is a rare parent who would allow their teenage son or daughter to sit around the house with friends getting drunk. If Palcohol makes it to the market, it will be much easier for young people to use alcohol right under the noses of adults who are trying to keep them safe. Remember, all kids count.

ave you ever sent yourself the message that you would try something new, BUT‌ and here you fill in the blank with anticipatory fears, doubt, or negative self-talk‌.and you decide not to try. This week we want to encourage you to quiet the voice of inaction and embrace an adventure, in particular, Bikram Yoga. Hot Yoga (Bikram) not for you? Think again! Our most recent speakers at the Wellness Series, MARY DUPREY and JULIE REIDY of EMPOWER FITNESS & YOGA, spent some time discussing the benefits and challenges of this practice along with their personal journeys of wellness. Having an interactive conversation with the group seemed to dispel some impressions from audience members and challenge them to try it out!
lulled into the belief that as we age there are certain facts we cannot avoid; sore joints, weight gain, tiredness, a generalized slowing down. Hot Yoga can begin to dispel these beliefs and help you reclaim your strength and energy. While we do not encourage thrill seeking to fill a void in your life, we do encourage embracing change and maybe initial discomfort! Whether you choose Hot Yoga or some other form of exercise; personal contentment and comfort are also part of the wellness journey. For a beginner; come with an open mind, prepared for the experience rather than your own competence. It is a practice that is actually designed for beginners which you can grow to love. It takes time to train with the heat and the poses, which are unlike other yoga practices. The studio offers a great way to acclimate; unlimited classes for 2 weeks for only $20. The instructors will give you the information and strategies you will need to begin. As for Mary and Julie, they are both tri-athletes and marathon runners. They came to use hot yoga as a way to incorporate focus, stretching and breathing into their training. Hot Yoga may be a positive way for you to cultivate these qualities in your life as these two inspirational women did as part of their fitness routines.

Having been Bikram fans ourselves, we were particularly excited when Julie and Mary bought the studio at the beginning of 2014. They are dedicated to the personal service, including welcoming and well trained instructors and a clean, serene atmosphere. Making new improvements each month is their initial, new business owners, goal. A wise person once said, pain is not the natural state of the physical or emotional body.

Literary journal Saranac Review celebrates 10th year By Teah Dowling
denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — In 2004, four writers had a vision to start a local publication for a variety of writers, a publication which reached its 10th anniversary mark this year. “I was one of them [the founders] and the others were colleagues and friends: Michael Carrino, Linda Young and David Kovacs,” said Dr. Jose Torres of SUNY Plattsburgh, editor of the Saranac Review. “They have moved on, but their hard work and dedication helped jumpstart SR.” SR is an annual literary journal with a mission to, according to its website, dissolve “boundaries of all kinds, seeking to publish a diverse array of emerging and established writers from Canada and the United States.” The journal publishes in both digital and print formats, publishing works in the categories of creative nonfiction, fiction and poetry, along with subgenres of autobiography and memoir, cross-genre, flash-fiction, historical, political, prose poetry, narrative nonfiction and literary nonfiction. For their 10th issue, the literary journal is being put together by a variety of editors such as William David Powel, art director, Elizabeth Cohen, poetry editor, and Kate Moses, fiction editor, with numerous associate poetry and fiction editors, assistants and a business consultant. “It promises to be a unique issue,” Torres said. “It’s a specialbox edition with beautiful artwork and fantastic writers.
“We’re a bit behind schedule, [but] we hope to crank it up a little in the next few months to hit our fall deadline.” The 10th issue is currently accepting works until May 15 and will be released in print either in late September or early October, containing a variety of writers from both the United States and Canada. “Over a period of five years, I solicited Canadians whose work I respected to submit poems to the journal in order to include the voices of poets across the border,” said Carol Lipszyc, associate poetry editor for SR. “The partnership supported by the college’s Canadian Studies program gave the journal a somewhat distinctive quality.” Along with the Department of Canadian Studies, the journal gets support from the President, the Provost and the College of Arts and Sciences of SUNY Plattsburgh. Also, they get support from Friends of Saranac Review. With the support they receive from various groups, they give back to the college and other writers, one of the reasons why the journal started in the first place. “[The] literary journal is essential for a writing program, and we wanted to improve our writing option, which presently is the Writing Arts major,” Torres said. “Moreover, we felt it was essential to create a discussion space for regional writers as well as national and Canadian writers. “The local community also benefits from the artistic ambiance a literary journal creates.” The Saranac Review offers internship opportunities for their writing arts majors and also has become a literary home for writ-
ers not only in SUNY Plattsburgh but in the North Country and Vermont. Over the years, they published award winning writers and received two Pushcart nominations, a project that was named among the most influential projects in the history of American publishing by Publishers Weekly that honors small presses and authors. “People know of Saranac Review and respect our work, so it has gained prestige for our department and SUNY Plattsburgh,” Torres said. “And we’ve not only survived but thrived during those 10 years.” After the release of the 10th issue, Torres will be stepping down as editor with Cohen and Moses taking his place as coeditors for the 11th issue. Even though he will be leaving, he said he’s leaving it in the capable hands of his fellow colleagues. “It’s been a labor of love, for sure,” Torres said. “[It was] many hours of reading manuscripts, dealing with the challenges of producing a quality publication, and confronting the many problems involved in the production of a small literary journal, especially one transitioning to both print and digital formats.” “I’m very proud of these 10 years and believe that SR has many more great years to come.” After the issue comes out in fall 2014, the Saranac Review would like to hold a celebration, perhaps a gala, which might also serve as a fundraiser. If anyone would like to get involved in the celebration of the 10th issue, contact Torres at torresjl@ plattsburgh.edu.

SUNY Plattsburgh to host Gospel Fest this weekend By Paige Passman
denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — On May 4 the Gospel Choir at Plattsburgh State will be a part of the 2014 Gospel Fest at the Giltz Auditorium on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus. The Fest will include Praise Dance Team, Step Team and John Harrisow and the Montpelier Gospel Choir. One of the Gospel Choir members, Diamond Vincent, had the chance to sit down and talk about the upcoming event for the Gospel Choir happening in May. The choir will be singing and the steppers will be stepping and the Praise Dancers dancing, she said. Some of the songs that the Gospel Choir performs are heavily gospel inspired, but a wide range of other genre will be featured as well. You won’t only hear gospel songs; but many different types of music while attending the
Gospel Fest. Ò We have the songs that we need to keep ourselves composed and focused. We then have songs that we get wild and have fun and dance with. It’s mostly a variety of songs.” Vincent started to sing when she was little. She didn’t sing gospel music at first, but while attending church the inspiration came to her to sing gospel. When she came to Plattsburgh, she joined the choir when she was just a freshman. “It’s a really good club.” Typically, a wide variety of people come out and enjoy Gospel Fest. Tickets will be available for students in advance. Children under 5 will be free, as long as they can share a seat with an adult. Tickets can be purchased Advance Music in Burlington, and the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts are $12 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets at the door are $16 for adults, $8 for students.

New dean discusses global warming at SUNY Plattsburgh By Paige Passman
denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Professor Dr. Stephen Danna, who was just appointed the new dean of the branch campus, as an Educational Agent for Change, gave a presentation on global warming to a gathering of students on Thursday, April 25, at Hudson Hall on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus. Danna is the new dean at the Queensbury branch of SUNY Plattsburgh, which is where he serves as a professor as well. He is also a professional oceanographer. He holds a certificate of advanced study in education administration from SUNY Plattsburgh from 1997. In 2006 he received a second advanced certifi-
cate in brain research in education from the University of Washington. In 2011 he earned his doctorate in educational leadership from Sage Graduate School in Albany. After receiving his master’s in oceanography, he worked for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a federal agency focused on the conditions of the oceans and the atmosphere. After working for NOAA, he worked for the US Naval oceanographic office. The US Naval Oceanographic office is the largest command within the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, and is responsible for providing oceanographic products and services to all elements of the Department of Defense. While researching oceanography, he became increasingly in-
terested in climate change and climate science. He has been concerned about climate change for many years now. “Until a few years ago, we are at the brink of climate change and we need to all make noise.” Danna received training last summer in Chicago by Al Gore, who is a noted activist on climate change. “It was a good venue to get out and spread the word about climate change.” Danna stated that Gore’s involvement in activism around climate change isn’t about the money. It’s about the science. As the presentation went on, Danna discussed the issue of climate change and how we can help out the climate so we can live in world that is no longer losing its beauty.
to be served concurrently, for unlawful imprisonment second degree. Donah, who was a five year veteran with the state police assigned to the Plattsburgh barracks at the time of his arrest, was arrested originally for three seperate domestic incidents occuring in 2008 and 2010. He was tried seperately for the first two incidents. Donah was aquitted of three felony charges in his first trial in November 2013. In his second trial this past Febuary, Donah was aquitted of the more serious charges of rape first degree and sexual abuse first degree, but was found guilty of the three lesser charges. In the wake of his sentencing, Donah was offered a plea agreement on his outstanding rape charge. He accepted a plea to a misdeamenor of unlawful imprisonment in satisfaction of the rape charge. The plea will carry another year sentence, which
will run concurrent to the previous sentences. As part of the plea agreement, Donah will not be able to appeal his earlier convictions. Because of Donah’s local law enforcement connections, his cases are being prosecuted in Clinton County Court by Franklin County District Attorney Derek P. Champagne. State police officials were previously under a gag order and would not comment on Donah’s employment status during the course of his trials. With his plea to the final charges that order was lifted, and officials famaliar with the case acknowledged that he was fired shortly after his February convictions. When Donah was first arrested he was placed on un-paid leave. After 30 days his leave status was changed to paid leave. He has been on paid leave for over a year while his cases were being adjudicated.

Mountain Lake PBS president Recore to retire PLATTSBURGH — Mountain Lake PBS announced today that Alice Recore, president and chief executive officer for the last 11 years, has decided to retire by the end of 2014. Recore has agreed to assist in the search for a successor, and ensure a seamless transition to new leadership. Ò It has been an honor and privilege to lead this organization for these years, and it is with mixed emotions that I have decided to move on. I am confident about the future of the station, and I know that the board and staff will work with the new president to build on our accomplishments,” said Recore. “Alice’s exemplary leadership at Mountain Lake PBS has positioned the station for expansion and success across multiple platforms as the role of public broadcasting changes. The Board is committed to finding a successor who will build on the momentum she has created at the station,” said Jacqueline Kelleher, Chair of the Board of Directors. Recore joined Mountain Lake PBS in 1997 as the business manager, and became president and CEO in 2003, guiding the station through major changes in broadcasting including the 2009 transition to high-definition digital broadcasting. Through her leadership, the station
has become more than television. As a public media organization, Mountain Lake PBS provides unique local content and services on all platforms -- on the air, online, and in the community. Recore’s vision for Mountain Lake PBS is a station that provides a unique service that strengthens the local community. Through her commitment to this vision, Mountain Lake PBS reinforced its position as an essential community institution through local programming and educational initiatives. The weekly news program Mountain Lake Journal receives accolades in the community, and throughout the PBS industry. Every year, Mountain Lake PBS hosts multiple on-air public forums discussing issues ranging from career and technical education, to the community response after the tragic school shooting in Newtown, CT. Under RecoreÕ s leadership, the station has produced over a dozen local documentaries including Flowers in the Desert: Cirque du Soleil and Dead Reckoning: Champlain in America, both of which aired nationally on PBS stations across the country. The documentaries and numerous episodic series produced during her tenure won multiple awards including; Region-
al Emmy Awards, Edward R. Murrow Award, Telly Awards, New York State Broadcasters Association (NYSBA) Awards, National Educational Television Association (NETA), and Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). RecoreÕ s career has been devoted to serving the community through non-profit work, first at the Hospice of the North Country, and then at Mountain Lake PBS. Ms. Recore said to the staff, “I know I will miss my work at the station, but I am looking forward to spending more time with my family. It has been a privilege to work with you, and I cannot wait to see what’s next for Mountain Lake PBS.”

“There are vital differences between small businesses, agriculture, tourism, light manufacturing and infrastructural projects,” he said. “We need specific points of focus in creating an environment to protect these economies.” Doheny said he has the intricate of knowledge of each of these towns and how they operate as well as experience turning around troubled companies from his business background, attributes he said the other candidates don’t have. “I have been to all 194 towns and cities in the district, have met with untold people from all sectors, and understand what drives the economy,” he said, ticking off an encyclopedic list of towns, their leaders and the small, often overlooked, differences in nomenclature. “This gives me a clear advantage and clear point advantage. I grew up here, live here, and am going to make sure we have the most robust economy we can.”

GOP hopeful Matt Doheny hopes third time is the charm pete@denpubs.com FORT EDWARD — Matt Doheny wants you to know that he’s the only candidate running to replace outgoing FORT EDWARD — Matt Doheny wants you to know that he’s the only candidate running to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) who is truly from the North Country and has the experience necessary to address the 21st District’s needs. In a phone interview with the Burgh, the last in our series of open-ended interviews designed for the candidates to introduce their policies to our readers, Doheny discussed what has to offer voters across this sweeping district. “I KNOW THESE PEOPLE” The race marks the Watertown-based investment bankerÕ s third attempt at capturing the seat after narrowly losing twice to Owens, who was first elected in 2009 after a bitter race that attracted national attention and acted as a bellweather for the then-burgeoning Tea Party movement. “We fought two close races and came up very short each time,” said Doheny. “After Congressman Owens announced his retirement, we experienced an outpouring of support across all corners of the district and that really encouraged me to run again.” Speaking excitedly after a day spent campaigning in Washington County, Doheny recalled a conversation he had with a small business owner who he said was in trouble: “He had a situation back on the farm dealing with immigration and labor,” said Doheny. “I aim to help him, and people like him, on the ground to make life better.” “I know these people, I’m from the district,” he said. OVERREGULATED In what’s become a common mantra for the two remaining Republican candidates in the race, Doheny said small businesses are strangled in a thicket of regulation by a sprawling patchwork of regulatory agencies that operate without oversight from elected representatives. “They need authority and real oversight,” he said, citing the regulations that farmers face as an example: “There’s the EPA, [the Occupational Safety and Health Administration] OSHA and all the issues and regulations that come to fore, like dust regulations, labor regulations, rules on spilled milk — these all have a negative impact on the industry, from the dairy farms here in Washington County to the apple orchards in Essex.” TARGETED INDUSTRIES The candidate, who lives in Watertown and has a 10-monthold son named Declan, said policies should be tailored around the district’s diversed sub-economies, from Plattsburgh’s relationship with Canada, the military base in Fort Drum and the lakefront spread in Tupper Lake.

nstead of wasting time waiting for the ponds to open up; I decided to travel home to Elizabethtown for the weekend to visit a few of the old fishing holes from my younger
days. Although I tend to spend a majority of my time fishing the ponds; I’ve always been a river walker. I enjoy the flows more than flat waters, as the scent of a stream is ever changing and it is addictive. On the ponds, you can pretty much see it all from one location. The waters are flat or choppy, or somewhere in between; but there is no much variation. Sure, there are fluctuations in foliage, down trees, steep banks and other natural factors that give different ponds their character; but for the most part, a pond is a pond, what you see is what you get. But on the river, and especially on the small streams, the scene is always in motion, ever flowing, and wandering along. There is life everywhere, in the trees on the riverbanks, in the air, and under the river rocks where the crayfish hide. And it seems you
HEALTH CARE Doheny said if elected, he aims to “roll back” the Affordable Care Act. “However well-intentioned, it’s not working,” he said. “We continue to see negative impacts on folks in our district — it will truly hurt families and small businesses.” He criticized the Independent Payment Advisory Board tasked with addressing and overseeing savings in Medicare as an unelected body that has the “authority to ration care and costs” much to the public’s chagrin. In addition, he said, the ACA will hurt rural hospitals’ efforts at recruiting doctors and will force them to seek more lucrative jobs elsewhere. Doheny also cited the 2.3 percent tax on medical device manufacturers enacted as part of the provision as something that is “really, truly hurting these companies,” including those based in Glens Falls. IMMIGRATION Asked about his thoughts on immigration policy, the candidate cited a recent ceremony he attended in Washington County that saw the swearing in of 50 new American citizens. “It was a very touching, moving experience,” he said, citing participants from Poland, Indonesia, the Ivory Coast, Brazil and elsewhere. “America is a leading country in the world and this really reaffirms your faith,” he said. “While we have challenges, we’re still the leading light.” While he didn’t touch upon specific policies for job creation in the discussion, something that has bewitched the other candidates in this interview series, Doheny said he will continue to roll out “key elements” over the next seven months during the countdown to the general election this fall. The candidate will face fellow Republican hopeful Elise Stefanik, the Albany-born, Willsboro-based businesswoman who served in a variety of roles in the Bush Administration, in the
can never capture it all, just a glimpse and it’s gone. In the dark, hemlock forested reaches of the rivers, the waters take on an ominous odor that scents the air, and the land. It is a primordial scent that always transports me back to my younger days. The waters, darkened by the shade, provide safe safe sanitary for the trout, even in mid stream. Their quick darting movements are difficult to decipher, unless a shaft of sun captures their shadow. Often they would hide, invisible among the long logs, the tangled roots and the rubble of the riverbank. I tried to entice them to venture forth and sip a dry fly from the surface, but the brookies were skittish, and the waters were cold. These waters were the playgrounds of my youth, they were the only waters within walking or biking distance of town. So too, were the surrounding hills, Little Buck, Wood Hill, Raven, and Cobble Hill. I’ve climbed them all numerous times, and I still can’t get enough. And as I stared at them from the valley floor, I couldn’t resist the urge to visit them again. Since the trout weren’t cooperating; I decided to take some time away from the grind in order to tackle a few of the smaller hills, and to let the trout settle a bit. I had come home to chase some trout, and in the process, to recover some of the excitement of of my youth. I climbed the

GOP primary on June 24. Since both candidates have been endorsed by third parties Ñ Doheny by the Independence Party, Stefanik by the Conservative Party Ñ the two have indicated they will remain in the race despite who emerges victorious from the primary. WAR LOOMS Doheny’s long-awaited interview with the Burgh comes as part of an aggressive campaign push in the run-up to the Republican primary. On Thursday, April 24, the candidate bashed Democratic frontrunner Aaron Woolf, the grocery store owner and small business owner from Elizabethtown, with a tongue-in-cheek list of tips for touring the North Country and on Friday, he released his first radio ad blasting “DC insiders,” an alluded slight against Stefanik, whose campaign challenged Doheny’s efforts to net the Independence and Conservative Party lines last week. In a written statement, Stefanik campaign attorney James Walsh accused the Doheny campaign of “inflating numbers” and skirting legal procedures in order to gain ballot access. “When you run for Congress, seeking to make law, the first step in the process is to follow the law,” said Walsh. “The Doheny campaign is not unfamiliar with the petition process and our belief is that in the rush to inflate numbers and gain access to the Independence and Conservative lines, the Doheny campaign played political — and potentially fraudulent — games with this important process.” The campaign alledged “flawed submissions” of Conservative Party signatures to the ballot and provided the Burgh scans of signatures that they perceived as questionable. “The snow is finally gone but we still have time for reindeer games,” responded the Doheny campaign, also in a written statement. Each candidate needs to submit a designated amount of signatures from voters registered in those parties to receive ballot access. Although they are comparatively small and often overlooked, they play an important role in fundraising, shaping policy, offering visibility and creating a network of support for candidates during fluid primary races. And capping the end of a fast-moving political week that saw Congressman Owens officially endorse Woolf in a swing through the region and petition challenges that may bounce Democratic hopeful Steven Burke and perennial Green Party candidate Donald Hassig out of the race before their respective primaries on June 24 (those respective stories will appear in our online version) — Doheny announced on Friday that he agreed to participate in a pair of GOP debates: May 27 and June 12, both to be hosted by television networks and their affiliates in Watertown. “Our campaign is focused on talking to the voters about the issues that are affecting them in their day to day lives,” he said in the statement. “These debates are a great way for voters to hear directly from the candidates.” hills again, and I looked down on my old small town. I hiked the ridges, and visited our old campsites. I climbed the cliffs and discovered a few more mountaintop antennas. (It’s always surprising to see just how far some folks will go to get television reception, not to mention the cost of stringing half a mile of antenna wire up the side of a cliff.) Elizabethtown has remained pretty much the same as it was in my youth, just like many of the small, non-touristy Adirondack towns. It really hasn’t changed much over the years. There are a few more buildings, fewer families, and a surprising number of new homes situated on the hillsides surrounding the Pleasant Valley. The mountains haven’t moved much. Giant of the Valley still looms to the south west, and Hurricane still sports it’s Fire tower, as proud as ever. I walk the sidewalks and still know most of the folks I meet; even though I’ve been gone and many years removed. One evening, I ran into a former classmate at the local Grand Union. We hadn’t seen each other for many years, and he reminded me this year would be our 40th class reunion. “Forty years?”, I asked incredulously. “Are you sure?” I started running the numbers through my mind, and sure enough, he was right! “Damn,” I mumbled under my breath, “So many trout, and so little time left.” I thought about his remark as I waked back to the house. It was a very difficult pill to swallow. “Another place, another town,” I muttered to no one in particular. “Now’s not the time to dwell on such matters. There are still trout to be found, and plenty of ground I need to pound. I need not worry about it at all right now.” The following morning I caught my first brook trout of the new season. It fell for a dry fly that I had skittered under an overhanging stream bank, in my old back yard. I was not surprised in the least. The little brook has always produced trout, even though it winds it’s way right through the middle of town. It is rarely fished, and often overlooked by anglers seeking bigger waters and larger fish I was just as excited at the age of 58, as I was at the age of 8 and an hour later I still had a silly smirk on my face. Any fish taken on the fly is a trophy, and if you want more, sometimes it pays to wish for a little less. And while I may never be able to truly go home again, it sure is nice to shed the restrictions of age, and walk in the footprints of my youth every once in a while. Next year, I’ll be back. Though I’ll be another year older, I’ll fish as if I’m still nine years old and I’ll drift a fly right by that overhung bank again! I can wait.

5 questions with ... Paige Passman PLATTSBURGH — In this week’s column designed to shine light on what regular people are doing in Plattsburgh, we touched bases with the BurghÕ s very own intern Paige Passman, a third-year journalism major at SUNY Plattsburgh. What are you doing right now? I’m watching TV… MTV. Do people still watch MTV? They do! It’s a show called “Girl’s Code.” I’m just watching it because there’s nothing else on. I’ve got class at two, then homeworkÉ and then IÕ ll watch the Yankees game later. Where should I go if I’m new to Plattsburgh? I’m not really sure where to go. I just hang out with people. If you’re over 21, you can go to the bars downtown. I usually chill in my room or hang out with my friends. There’s actually something going on Wednesday, Plattsburgh’s Got Talent, a talent show kinda like “America’s Got Talent.” There’s also a committee that plans trips through the student association, you can go see movies for like $8. What kind of movies? Recent movies. The last movie coming up is “That Awkward Moment.” I’d definitely recommend it. Students from Kathy Cantwell (standing, right) and Greg Badger’s (standing, left) art classes in Peru show off their “KidsArt” at a recent show held at the Peru Free Library. Photo by Shawn Ryan
