CADYVILLE Ñ JCEO of Clinton and Franklin Counties is geared up for their first ever Community Action Angel’s Field Day at the Cadyville Red Park, July 26. The fundraiser is designed to pay for their Backpack Program to feed hungry children in the North Country. Since announcing the program, 35 children have already been sponsored, and Community Action AngelÕ s board member Hannah Provost is already hoping to expand it beyond the three Plattsburgh schools, which will take part in the pilot program. Ò So many people from different places are coming together to work on our projects,” she said. “It’s definitely an unmet need in the North Country. Ò Kids shouldnÕ t have to live that way. Hopefully, this will be a bright spot.Ó The field day will utilize all the assets at the rec park, including disk golf, a trail run, two bounce houses, face painting, barbecue from ChazyÕ s Up North BBQ, pony rides and more. Ò ItÕ s going to be a really great day,Ó she said. Ò We hope to raise a lot of awareness as well as a lot of money.Ó Admission to the field day is $5 for an individual and $10 for a family of any size. It will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is a small additional charge for the pony rides. For more information, consult the Community Action AngelÕ s Field Day page on Facebook.

Ride For the Roof set at Peru Community Church Church to undergo several renovation projects

at 1 p.m. ÒT hereÕ s some activity going on here just about every night,Ó said Svenson of the Community Center. ÒW eÕ ve had lots of support from lots of people and businesses in Peru and Plattsburgh. We just hope to get a lot of people out for this ride.Ó Besides a new metal roof, Svenson is also hoping to replace the centerÕ s aging heating system, replace the front door and redesign the entrance way, which tends to form ice dams that leads to leakage in the winter. Svenson is also gearing up for the churchÕ s annual mission trip to Jamaica, which will take place in the early winter. This past January, members of the church made their fifteenth trip to Jamaica to take part in building projects at several residences where they identify the greatest need. Svenson points out that mission participants fund-raise independently and pay their own way for the Jamaica trip. ÒPeo ple come from other parts of the county to go with us, not just from our church.Ó Svenson is hoping to start the renovation project in the summer of 2015. Information of the ride can be found at www.perucommunitychurch.com/html/ride_for_the_roof.html.

Meadowmount to perform at Plattsburgh Memorial Chapel By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — A Meadowmount Benefit Concert for the Plattsburgh Memorial Chapel will take place Tuesday, July 29 at 7 p.m. at the Plattsburgh Memorial Chapel. Ò Meadowmount, that is excellence in action,Ó said Bill Laundry, organizer of the event and program chair for the Plattsburgh Memorial Chapel Board. Ò ItÕ s at a concert like this where you will see the Yo-Yo MaÕ s of the future.Ó Ô BENEFIT CONCERTÕ Students from the Meadowmount School of Music will be performing, and the cost is $15 per ticket. Lemonade and cookies will be served on the lawn at intermission. Advanced tickets are available at Party Factory, Aubuchon Hardware, Cook & Gardener and Cornerstone Bookstore. Tickets will also be at the door, if available, and all proceeds from the ticket sales will go toward upkeep of the church. ÒT he chapel doesnÕ t run on its own,Ó Laundry said. ÒT here is the electric bill, and thereÕ s the heating bill. ÒW eÕ re also tucking money away, as we can, for the day when we will need a new roof, which is a very expensive proposition.Ó Currently, the Plattsburgh Memorial Chapel keeps afloat by hosting a variety of concerts and offering rental for weddings on the weekends, also giving people opportunities to see the historic chapter that’s been standing since the 1930s.

Ô MEMORIAL CHAPELÕ The Plattsburgh Memorial Chapel was dedicated Oct. 24, 1933, and it is located on the historic site of the war of 1814 and anchors the far north end of the now former United States air force base, which closed in 1995. “In 1933, when they dedicated the chapel, it was right in the middle of the Great Depression, and they were able to make money for that little chapel,Ó Laundry said. Ò IÕ m always impressed by that fact.Ó In memory of those stationed in Plattsburgh who gave their lives in WWI, the project was sponsored by the churchwomanÕ s league of New York City, which cost $22,427 to build. The chapel was, and still is, constructed of weather bricks taken from a historical structure near Plattsburgh, and the original wrought iron chandeliers were hand forged by an army blacksmith. The pews and original organ were donated by the 26th infantry, and the outside chapel bell, installed in 1936, came from the battleship USS OÕ Brien. Ò ItÕ s just charming,Ó Laundry said. Ò ItÕ s like right out of a movie set.Ó Today, after being empty for about eight years when the air base closed, the chapel reopened as a non-profit corporation in 2003 with a set of bylaws governed by an elected board of directors. It is currently available for interfaith religious services, weddings, special events, art exhibits, music concerts and any other activity to be approved by its board of directors.

Ô MEADOWMOUNT SCHOOLÕ At the end of their fifth week of the program, July 26, the school has their annual String Quartet Ò Play-offÓ Competition where the winners perform on the Meadowmount Concert Series as well as off-campus concert venues. They will have three of their sting quartet winners playing for the benefit concert. Ò The students have chosen masterpieces from the string quartet literature,Ó said Eric Larsen, director for the Meadowmount School of Music. Ò The program will offer an interesting mix of different styles for this concert.Ó Since 1944, Ivan Galamian’s Meadowmount School of Music has been a summer school for young musicians ages 9 to 30 who are training for professional careers in music. In 1954, the school was organized as a non-

profit corporation under the ages of the Society for Strings, Inc. The school has a capacity enrollment of over 200, yet remains small enough to provide personal attention to each student for that they can perform successfully in concerts such as the one for the Plattsburgh Memorial Chapel. Ò It is an honor for us to contribute to the cultural life of the area through both our oncampus concerts and our out-reach concert series,Ó Larsen said. Ò It is also important for us to provide performance opportunities for our students, [and] this is what they work so hard for every day at Meadowmount. Ò The Plattsburgh audience will not only enjoy an excellent performance by our students but be part of ensuring the future of the [Plattsburgh] Memorial Chapel.Ó

Golf tournament on July 20 will help fund Honor Flight By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com ROUSES POINT Ñ The North Country Honor Flight Golf Tournament will take place Sunday, July 20 at 11 a.m. at the North Country Golf Club. “This is the first time we’ve ever run a golf tournament for the honor flight,” said Kevin Gero, main organizer of the event. “I, and 10 other committee members, put together the event.Ó The teams consist of a four player scramble, grouped according to handicap. The team slots are now filled. However, people who wish to attend the event are still invited to come and participate in the other events the day has to offer. There will be an opening ceremony that will start at 11 a.m, consisting of 10 to 12 WWII veterans. After the opening ceremony, the day will lead into the American Legion Auxiliary Montgomery Unit 912 escorting the veterans off the deck at the golf course down to the first tee box where five WWII veterans will hit the ceremonial tee shots to open the tournament. Guests are allowed to watch the golf tournament from the clubhouse and stay for the dinner and auction following the tournament for a fee of $15, which will all go toward the honor flight. “If you believe what the honor flight does, then the tournament is a way to show that appreciation, open your wallet a little bit and spend some money on a good cause,Ó Gero said. Ò ItÕ s time for us to show our appreciation for them, and getting them to Washington to see their memorial is just one way to do it.Ó According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, 640 to 800 WWII veterans die each day, many of them never being able to see the memorial in Washington. Honor Flight National wanted to make them seeing the memorial possible.

“It started with a guy flying a private jet or plane to Washington, taking one or two vets at a time, and a doctor came up with the idea to expand that, and thatÕ s basically where the whole premise came from,Ó Gero said. Ò Its expanded nationwide.Ó The inaugural Honor Flight Tour took place in May 2005 where six small planes flew out of Springfield, Ohio taking 12 WWII veterans on a visit to the memorial in Washington D.C. In August of 2005, a waiting list of veterans led to the transition to commercial airline carriers with the goal of accommodating as many veterans as possible. Partnering with HonorAir in Hendersonville, N.C, they formed the Ò Honor Flight Network,Ó a system that started later on in the North Country. Ò The North Country Honor Flight started a year ago this past January,Ó said Barrie Finnegan, fundraising chairman for the North Country Honor Flight. Ò There were a couple people who just got together, and they had been exposed to it elsewhere and just decided it would be a good idea to get one goinÕ here.Ó Currently, the North Country Honor Flight has held seven flights, maneuvering through obstacles made by the aircraft, TSA and the roughly $15,000 per flight to make sure the WWII veterans get on a plane and fly to Washington D.C., according to Finnegan. Before a flight takes place, an opening flag ceremony starts at 7 a.m, leading into a large parade with the veterans riding on a bus with about 100 motorcycles escorting them to the airport, where they are introduced, have another ceremony and get on the plane. The eighth flight will take place Sept. 27, with a minimum of 15 veterans, which will be funded by fundraising events such as the North Country Honor Flight Golf Tournament. Ò WeÕ re strictly funded by our own fundraising events,Ó Finnegan said. Ò The community is largely responsible, so we rely strictly on that funding. Ò ItÕ s just the generosity of the North Country people that make this work.Ó If anyone would like to attend the event or find out more information, contact Gero at 518-802-0358 or visit northcountryhonorflight.org.

The Burgh Editorial

The best defense when seconds count

recent column placed in USA Today draws needed attention to what the national media loves to sweep under the rug: statistics prove that guns can and do save lives. The column was a paid advertorial called Ò The First-Responders ReportÓ which features real-life situations in which first responders — the intended victim Ñ were able to shoot down the people who attacked them or chase them off by show of arms. The column is the first in a planned series by GunLaws.com, the website of Bloomfield Press, the countryÕ s largest publisher and distributor of gun-law books, based in Scottsdale, Ariz. The firm’s publisher, Alan Korwin, believes the liberal national media turns a blind eye to covering situations in which an intended victim defends himself or his family with a firearm. News reports, Korwin contends, make the mistake of using the term “first responders” for law enforcement personnel when they are often the ones who show up second. The stories in KorwinÕ s column clearly make this case: A mom with a rifle stops a home invasion in Detroit; a bystander thwarts a kidnapping attempt and pins the assailants on the ground at gun point; a robber picks the wrong store, brings a knife to a gun fight; a woman fends off a man wielding a gardening tool with her sidearm. These stories are rarely in the public eye, but are known to be common and the statistics affirm that. A survey of national self defense statistics conducted by Florida State University criminologists found the rate of defensive gun uses annually nationwide is about 2.5 million per year — one defensive gun use every 13 seconds. Nearly 16 percent of the gun defenders interviewed in the survey said that someone Ò almost certainlyÓ would have died had the gun not been used for protection. Another 83 percent of those involved in successful gun defenses said the attacker either threatened or used force first, disproving the argument that having a gun available for defense wouldnÕ t make a difference. In 92 percent of these incidents, the criminal attacker was not wounded or killed Ñ thus the incident would not be considered Ò newsworthyÓ by newspaper or television editors. In 73 percent of these gun-defense cases, the attacker was a stranger to the intended victim Ñ defens-

es against a family member or domestic partner were rare, well under 10 percent. This disproves the thinking that a gun kept for self defense will most likely be used against the owner or a family member. Finally, in nearly 80 percent of these gun defenses, the defender used a concealable handgun. A quarter of the gun defenses occurred in places away from the defenderÕ s home. A recent study conducted as part of the 23 Executive Actions signed by President Obama last year in an effort to reduce gun violence seems to make the same point. Interestingly, the study was commissioned to help tighten gun laws in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. tragedy, but many of the findings seemed to strengthen the argument in favor of an armed citizenry. Ò Defensive uses of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence although the exact number remains disputed,Ó the study concluded. Ò Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.” More important, it was discovered that when guns are used in self-defense, the victims consistently have lower injury rates than those who are unarmed, even compared with those who used other forms of self-defense. So what does all this mean? We think the numbers speak for themselves Ñ the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun and when seconds count, the police are often minutes away, especially in the rural area in which we live. Laws like Gov. CuomoÕ s Safe Act have proven to do little to prevent gun-related acts from criminals. Instead, these laws hinder the right of law abiding citizens to protect themselves from those breaking the law. While politicians like Obama and Cuomo stump for more feel good legislation to appease their constituency, the statistics are clear that armed citizens stop more crime than laws regulating firearms or even law enforcement personnel. We applaud Alan KorwinÕ s effort to draw attention to that fact. ÑD

Letters to the Editor

Appreciates the generosity To the Editor: A sincere thank you to all our friends and family who have helped us get through the difficult time following the loss of our loved one, Tim Cox. Your generosity, thoughts and prayers have been greatly appreciated, more than words can say. A special thank you to the Elizabethtown EMS, uniformed officers, medical personnel, Marvin’s Funeral Home and staff and anyone else who may have been involved in responding to our situation. The dedication and professionalism of these caretakers is beyond what most of us can ever comprehend. Thanks and you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank You to National Grid

I sometimes go especially to the one in Keene Valley. I like to get [produce] direct from farmers and get the real thing. Supermarkets only tend to have a certain selection.

The Cox Family, Elizabethtown

To the Editor: On Tuesday July 8 as many know the area was hit hard by a

severe storm network. Very high winds leveled hundreds of tree down along Miller Road and took down several power supply poles. It also snapped the power pole at the corner of Rt. 9 and Blue Ridge Road about 10 feet from the top. The pole snapped and hung at about a 33 degree angle leaving the power and phone lines approximately 16 feet from the ground. I drove to the South end of Miller Rd. and headed north. I got to where the mentioned crew was working and obviously stopped by the job supervisor and told not to go any further. I got out and chatted with him for a bit and got permission to walk down to a certain point to snap some photos. I stopped to thank him for allowing me to get some photos. I talked to him about the broken pole just north of where they were working, which of course they aware of. I told him of my fear of the pole breaking more bringing the power-phone lines below thirteen feet which a semi-truck would hit and create a huge mess. He informed me that they had hoped to make it to the pole to at least shore it up that night but due to regulations the crew had to be off duty by 11:00. Safety in any job is important but when you are working with 3200 volts you have better be on your game! That night at about 9:30 I get a knock on the door and it is a crewman from National Grid to let me know we had power as he did for many in the area. He told me they were able to safely secure the pole so they could restore power to much of the North Hudson area. Sadly Blue Ridge would be without power another night because of the dynamics to the poles repair.

Early the next morning they were busy installing and changing over the LIVE power lines. I feel these men went above and beyond getting power back to as many folks as they possibly could. Then to notify as many folks as possible the power was back on, that is nothing but above and beyond. Thank you all. Ken Hedden Sr. North Hudson

Style & Substance: on poor personal hygiene Dear style & substance: I have a co-worker who has an issue with personal hygiene. While it is something that we can put up with in the office, we do have clients in and out of the office all day, and she is to the point that she reflects very poorly on us as a company. I’m not in management, but our management doesn’t seem interested in dealing with the issue. I know that she would not take kindly to me mentioning something to her. Any ideas? You are spot-on in realizing that this issue is a direct reflection of your organizational values. At the heart of this situation is respect: for self, others, and the organization providing for oneÕ s livelihood. You are also correct in your sensitivity to your colleague. Resolution will occur when all parties are in alignment to the greater good, being a pleasant workplace that includes satisfied customers. Confronting your colleague about her personal hygiene, or lack thereof, may lead to hurt feelings and anger, both non-productive in seeking a solution and bringing about necessary change. Although we recommend that getting too involved in coworkerÕ s personal lives can lead to distractions and less productive environments, we would venture to say that this lack of hygiene is in large part due to depression or an unresolved emotional situation. Excellent communication and sensitivity are needed by the leader to privately discuss the need for improvement and possibly provide some guidance in whatever the underlying barrier to cleanliness might be. In a general sense, some issues can be addressed with a nudge or gentle reminder by other employees and could include something like, Ò we feel it brings morale and professionalism down when everyone is not following the dress code.Ó Even asking the question, Ò How do we appear to the outside world?Ó can be a non-threatening way to introduce sensitive topics. If the Management at your organization is not taking action to address this situation, try beginning with structures you have

Elmore SPCA

Trust your client base. Another suggestion you can make to the management team is to conduct client surveys. These surveys should be easy to complete and meaningful in identifying areas for improvement. Most customers/clients are happy to be asked their opinion, especially when your organization wants to offer a better product or service. If you donÕ t see any of this as possibleÉ share this column with the staffÉ .and then YOU be responsible for YOU, others may follow suit. Ò Tightening upÓ on the details is what sets you and your business apart; it gives the employees the feeling of success, which definitely radiates to your customers; giving them confidence in you and your delivery of services. Good luck! in placeÉ .do you have staff meetings, or some other manner to share concerns or suggestions? If so, add Customer Service to the regular agenda. Customer Service as a point of focus is broad and can encompass the topic of how the staff is perceived by customers. Share examples of other places of business where the staff are courteous and professional, and foremost, where staff present in a professional manner. Encourage other staff to share similar stories, which can become the foundation for clearly articulating a vision and mission for how your organization can move forward in creating a stronger model for success. Review your employee manual and what the dress code section states. Maybe this can be revised from a customer service standpoint. If your organization does not have a formalized way of connecting, suggest to the management team you begin holding staff meetings as a way to improve business Ð all businesses want to generate revenue and no matter what your business is, customer service drives productivity. Check in with yourself as well. Do you dress the part? Are your briefcase, work materials, office and car organized, clean and neat? When clients and colleagues look at you do they see someone who takes their work and themselves seriously? Does your look make the statement that what you do is important? You can lead change by example.

and find his new forever home.***UPDATE***Grady is such a sweet and loving dog! We donÕ t think he has Rebecca Burdo •643-2451; info@elmorespca.org had the opportunity to be in a home environment too much in his life. When he comes in, he is interested in everything he sees and smells! We are working with him, and he is learning to not jump up on the furniture. Grady is a super sweet dog that would love to live with a family who will let him be the companion dog he was meant to be.

Grady is an adorable hound mix who just loves everybody he meets! He just loves to be around people and give kisses! Grady was going to be euthanized in a high kill pound, due to a lack of space, in North Carolina. He was found running at large and was picked up by dog control. He came to us full of life, love and a happy-go-lucky attitude. Unfortunately, he also came to us with an ulcer in his side. He was immediately seen by our vet and was put on antibiotics. This distinguished gent is a good dog that seems very content to lounge around in the sun all day while getting as many pets as he possibly can! Come in and meet this great dog that would love to get to know you

Luther came in as a stray from the City of Plattsburgh. He was not redeemed by his owners and is now available for adoption. Luther is a great dog that is very smart and loving. He is an easy going dog who loves to laze the day away on a dog bed. Luther enjoys playing with toys and with people. Luther gets along with some dogs, but he is kind of picky about the dogs he befriends. Luther is house trained, can sit, lay down and come on command. He loves to please his people. Did we mention that Luther is hearing impaired? Erica, one of our staff

Luther doesnÕ t actively “go after” other dogs. He is fine with the dogs he has met while camping on his weekend outings.

SUNY Expansion From page 1

executive director for the Center for Neurobehavioral Health. Ô THE FUNDINGÕ The funding is part of the state’s 2014-2015 Enacted Budget, which sets aside $49 million for capital projects, pursuant to approval of a plan by the Senate. Ò This funding means the center will be able to continue to meet its mission in the longer term of providing services to the community and educational opportunities to our students and future professionals,Ó Morales said. The project, costing about $8.5 million total and expected to get underway the summer of 2015 and end in 2017, will include turning the two-story gymnasium into space for the center with two separate floors, the first floor being the Center for Neurobehavioral Health and the second floor for the psychology department. The funding given by the Senate, along with the rest of the money coming from the State University Construction Fund, will allow for a greater integration of the collegeÕ s Nexus Autism Spectrum Program, Traumatic Brain Injury Center, AlzheimerÕ s Disease Assistance Center, Third Age Adult Day Center, Neuropsychology Clinic and Psychoeducational Services. In addition to better integrating services, the move is designed to increase service capacity, provide better public access, improve diagnostic and treatment programs, build a comprehensive and efficient service delivery system and allow for greater collaborative research. Ò A lot of these programs exist, but theyÕ re dispersed, and they’re hard to find,” said Michelle Ouellette, director of public relations and publications at SUNY Plattsburgh. Ò This is going to create one central location where people can come in and get support and get better access to such expertise.Ó

PLATTSBURGH — East Bound Jesus perform at 10 p.m. at the Monopole, 7 Protection Ave. Call 518-563-2222 for food and drink specials. CHAMPLAIN — This is a reunion of the 1960s Gemtones and Starfires which will be hosted by the popular band “Overdrive.” There will be no charge for this event and it is open to the public. The event will take place at 7:30 on Friday, July 25 at the Lakeview Pub & Grille on Rt.9B in the Town of Champlain.

Ô THE CENTERÕ “The significance of the center is the provision of needed services to the North Country community and region affected by neurologically-based disorders,Ó Morales said. Ò The center staff provide a number of services to this population through our day programs and waiver services. Ò The center also helps the community by providing training to future health care professionals, mental health care professionals and school psychologists and by providing local jobs for those in our area.Ó With a current staff of 37, SUNY PlattsburghÕ s Center for Neurobehavioral Health provides a variety of services to North Country residents affected by neurological impairments, which includes traumatic brain injury support, service coordination and more. In addition, the center includes grant-funded programs like the Eastern Adirondack Health Care Network, the Adirondack Regional Technology Center and the Regional Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders. For students, specifically, over the last academic year, center staff provided learning opportunities and training for over 200 undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of programs including the collegeÕ s undergraduate psychology, nursing, social work and human and family relations programs, along with its graduate programs in school psychology and counselor education. Ò Hundreds of students have gotten practical experience through all of their programs,Ó Ouellette said. Ò The fact that theyÕ re going to be housed together in a central location is going to allow them to do even more. Ò I foresee that there will be more openings for students to take part in these sort of situations for the community.Ó
