shawn@denpubs.com M O R R I S O N VILLE — Christmas didn’t slow down the folks at American Legion post 1619 in Morrisonville. In time for the holiday, volunteers from the Legion brought food parcels to 80 North Country families, all either military veterans or affiliated with the military in some way. It’s the fourteenth year of the program, which was started by the Legion to help former military members at this tough time of the year. The parcels, containing everything from bread to seasonal pies, are enough to feed a family for at least a few days, and help CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Plattsburgh Common Council nearly reversed its own course at a special meeting Dec. 23 with a proposed vote to eliminate the position of Promotions and Special Events Coordinator from its 2015 budget. In a previous Common Council session, councilors voted to approve $1,000 for the purpose of advertising for the position, which is a regular pay line of $43,262. In the special session, a vote was held to remove the position from the budget. Only two people spoke at the open forum, both in favor of keeping the position. There currently is no Promotions and Special Events Coordinator for the city. Both those who spoke talked of the need for the city to coordinate the efforts of numerous volunteer groups who have so far been responsible for bringing events to Plattsburgh. When it came time for councilors to debate the issue, only Councilor Becky Kasper spoke against it. “We do have a budget deficit and I don’t see this as an essential position,” she said. “If we keep funding lines when we’re

Lakes to Locks plan mobile app, other projects in 2015 By Pete DeMola
pete@denpubs.com ALBANY — Imagine this: You’re a farmer trying to scrape out a living by growing apples. Several cows offer milk, while a flock of chickens and a small vegetable garden provides the rest. Sometimes you barter with your neighbors for other goods. On Sundays, you go to church. And then it’s back to work. While tough, and often mundane, it’s a decent life with your wife and three children. So how did you find yourself perched in a tree putting grapefruit-sized holes in British skulls? What made the American colonists tick? Boring into the revolutionary psyche is what Lakes to Locks Executive Director Janet Kennedy hopes the public will ponder with the development of a new thematic mobile app to accompany the group’s tours through the waterways of the upper Hudson River, Champlain Canal, Lake George and Lake Champlain. UNIFY AND MARKET Here’s how it works: Participants will upload the app, which contains audio narration from historians, among other content, onto their smartphones. GPS coordinates will get you to where you need to go, from museums to other historical sites dotted around what historians refer to as North America’s first superhighway, the corridor between upstate New York and Quebec. It’s then when you can find out why Johnny Family Man decided to leave his bucolic life in the rearview and start taking out Redcoats from the treetops. The program also might help place the ongoing events in the Middle East and Central Asia into a broader historical context, explained Lakes to Locks Executive Director Janet Kennedy. The app is part of a wider effort to develop several units as part of a geotourism marketing initiative that is being made possible, in part, by the $153,000 state grant the organization received as part of the latest round of regional economic development funding. Funds will be used to unify and market two regions to national and international audiences and develop sustainable tourism. The project also furthers the partnership with National Geographic. Lakes to Locks’ website is co-branded, and developed, with the institution, who then promote it through their international channels. Ò We do see this has excellent brand recognition,Ó said Kennedy. The grants will also provide for enhanced exhibits in White-
hall, particularly to promote birding and nature-related attractions in southern Essex and northern Washington counties. A third component will provide for underwriting on local radio to highlight the distinctiveness of local communities and deliver what Kennedy calls delivering an Ò authentic and distinctive experienceÓ to travelers. The target audience is both domestic and international. “We’ve seen a lot of interest from Chinese travelers,” said Kennedy. ‘AMAZING HISTORY’ In August, Heritage Program Director Margaret Gibbs briefed the Essex County Board of Supervisors on the agency’s efforts. Outside interest in the region’s history is strong, she said. And it’s growing. For instance, Russians are drawn to the North Country Underground Railroad Museum in Chesterfield. She cited an anecdote from a visiting group: “You don’t know how lucky you are,” said the tourist, referring to the country’s stable political system. The Westport Visitor’s Center had racked up 1,500 visitors midway through the summer, she noted, almost 40 percent of whom were Canadians who ventured off the Northway specifically to discover small towns. Gibbs said visitors have commented on the region’s friendliness. “There’s a sense of nostalgia of a time that’s gone now,” said Gibbs. Ò People said they want to come back because it has reminded them of their grandparents’ farm.” Gibbs said the agency is making an effort to seize on connections and keep tourists in the area, shuttling them to communities like Ticonderoga, Port Henry and Elizabethtown before they head back to their point of origin. Canadians, in particular, have said they want to learn more and explore the smaller communities. Gibbs also praised volunteers, specifically those in Chesterfield, Willsboro and Westport: Ò In Westport, they have the best volunteer program you have ever seen,Ó she said. Ò They have 36 volunteers and a very active recruiting program.Ó ‘SPECIAL PLACE’ Kennedy said the relatively unchanged landscape really conveys what it was like for early settlers and armies who are fighting and is a callback to how many Europeans found themselves in the Champlain Valley to begin with Ñ the interconnected waterways. ÒT he authenticity is relatively easy to delver for American history and heritage,” she said. “It’s still essentially the same landscape of 200 years ago.Ó Interest in the region between Montreal to New York City re-
mains strong. ÒWh y Americans speak English and not French is because of the battles on Lake George,Ó s aid Kennedy. Gibbs urged lawmakers to help facilitate outreach in their to small businesses, museums and other cultural groups to participate in the geotourist experience, a rising tide that will likely lift all boats. ÒW e clearly have a special place for people to learn about, the history is amazing here,Ó said Gibbs, Òan d Lakes to Locks can help.Ó Work on the app, underwriting and exhibits will start within the next few months.

Legion
From page 1 them to get through the holidays. Food Box Coordinator Dan Easton says that the program is totally funded by the Legion. Ò We buy all the food, except for the bread and eggs. Gerald Gonyo donates the bread, and Giroux’s Poultry donates the eggs,” he said. They come up with a list of eligible former military members in the community, and once they are taken care of, their list grows from there. “First and foremost, the V.A. (Veterans’ Administration) gives us a list of names, and veterans come first,” he said. “After that its people the veterans know.” In the days leading up to Christmas the Legion’s hall is a veritable bee-hive of activity, as volunteers pack boxes and boxes are loaded into cars. Delivery lists are checked against Easton’s master list to ensure that nobody is missed. Some people come to the Legion to pick up their own food box, but most are delivered. Easton says that at least 20 volunteers are involved in the program, but more appeared to be cajoled into service to help load the stuffed boxes into waiting vehicles on delivery day. Easton, who is Chaplain of the American Legion Sons, started the program with 25 boxes in 2000. It’s grown steadily over the years, with this season seeing the highest number of boxes they have given out. “I’m not here for the notoriety, I’m here because it makes me feel good,” he said about the program. Along with Christmas boxes, the legion delivers just as many Thanksgiving boxes as well. Plans are already underway at the Legion for next year’s deliveries.

United Way of the Adirondack Region halfway there By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The United Way of the Adirondack Region announced this week that they have just passed the half-way mark of their fundraising goal for this year’s campaign. Executive Director John Bernardi says the charity hopes to bring in the remainder of their $725,000 goal within the next six weeks. But, he says, individual donations will be critical to that task. Ò Collectively, the 41 partner agencies in our three counties
helped 80,000 people last year, so it’s critical to funding high priority services across the three counties,Ó he said. Ò The dollars raised, with us as the vehicle, stay in this community, and provide really a full spectrum of services to the people of this region.Ó United Way of the Adirondack Region covers Clinton, Franklin and Essex counties. Bernardi says that with six weeks remaining in the campaign, which this year is being headed by co-chairs Bruce and Marge Garcia, there are still several corporate campaigns yet to report their total contributions. But even with those company raised donations, he hopes for individual donations to make up the
distance. Ò The funding that the people provide is critical to people being able to maintain the quality of life that people in the Adirondack region enjoy.Ó DINE UNITED On Jan. 4 the United Way will be sponsoring one of it’s major fund raisers, Dine United. Participating restaurants of Dine United donate a portion of each diner’s bill to the United Way. A link will be available at www.unitedwayadk.org on the first of the year listing participating restaurants.
Organizers announce 2015 Empire State Winter Games By Pete DeMola
pete@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID Ñ While the Empire State Winter Games are slated to go global in 2016, organizers say they’re focused on this year’s installment, which is slated to run from Feb. 5-8. Next year will mark the fifth year that local communities have taken over organizational efforts following former Gov. David Patterson’s decision to wipe them out in 2010 due to state budget cuts. The next day, a half-dozen communities came forward to pick up the pieces. Over 1,400 amateur athletes participated last year in competitions held in Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Wilmington and Tupper Lake. Organizers hope for 1,600 participants this year competing in 19 events. REGIONAL UNITY ROOST CEO Jim McKenna serves on the organizing committee. He said keeping the Games alive acts as a triple-barrel blast for the region. It acts as a vehicle to unify the region under one mission; as a way to showcase state and local athletes and gives the region repeated opportunities to host an Olympic-type event. It’s now the largest multi-sport in the United States, McKenna noted. McKenna said the Games also factor into ongoing measures to bind municipalities together to play on existing strengths and weaknesses, including ROOST’s Tourism Destination Area efforts. ÒA n actual event that crosses our borders plays well in the regionalization of the area,Ó h e said. ORDA veep Jeff Byrne said five sports call Lake Placid home, like luge, for instance. This leads to a spike in adolescent interest. “We’re seeing a great link in development from kids to multifestival events like this,Ó he said. ÒA nd their ability to go on to chase the Olympic Dream.Ó The 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi had a great representation from local athletes, he noted. Byrne said the Games also act as a catalyst for what ORDA needs to do to update their venues. Elected officials have been open in their desire for state funding to make the necessary improvements on the infrastructure that was originally built in 1978 for a two-week event. ÒW e always have all of our venue managers have a plan for capital improvement,Ó h e said. Venues include the Herb Brooks 1980 Rink, USA Rink, the Olympic Jumping Complex, Whiteface Mountain, Paul Smith’s College, the VIC, Saranac Lake Civil Center Ice Rink, Tupper Lake Memorial Civic Center, Olympic Bobsled and Biathlon Center. The 34th installment of the Games will be the second year for women’s hockey in Tupper Lake. “It’s going to be a great weekend for Tupper Lake,” said ROOST Tupper Lake and Hamilton County marketing manager Michelle Clement. “It’s a great way to kick off winter season.” Clement said the four-day event acts an economic boost for the community. Booking interest has already started to bubble up this year in both Tupper Lake and Lake Placid, she said. ESWG spokesman Sandy Caligiore said given that a large percentage of the 1,600 competitors are younger, inbound visitors are likely to swell to about 6,000 once family members, friends and sport officials are taken into account. “That’s noticeable spending in hotels, restaurants and stores,” he said. Organizer Kathy Pfohl said the coordination with ORDA has been going well. Calls from excited parents and website inquiries have already started rolling in, she said. “Everyone’s excited about the Opening Ceremonies and the Parade of Athletes.Ó Those events are slated for Feb. 5. Registration for the Games is now open. Visit empirestatewintergames.com for more info. GOING GLOBAL Looking past 2015, officials are excited about the $275,000 in state funds that will allow organizers to take the event international by attracting competitors from abroad. Organizers will also expand statewide recruiting efforts to bring in more athletes. Competitions will also be expanded into Hamilton County Ñ Long Lake will host snowmobiling events, while Titus Mountain in Malone will also host events Ñ making the 2016 Games a tricounty event. McKenna said the expansion is aimed at appealing to the activities and the sports of the millennial generation and to shifting trends in the winter sports market. More adaptive events will also be included, including cross country and alpine skiing. The exact details will be hammered out within the next six months.
ÒT his is a great investment by the state for the North Country,Ó said State Senator Betty Little in a statement announcing the expansion. ÒT he people here deserve lots of credit for keeping the Games going again after the state dropped them from the budget in 2010.Ó She said with international athletes, the Games will resemble a mini-Olympics. North Country Chamber of Commerce Garry Douglas said, also in a prepared statement, that the shift towards the global fits perfectly with the region’s commitment to international business, tourism and Lake Placid’s role as the winter sports capital of the world. Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall said the expansion will create more of a festival atmosphere. ÒI deally, what this is going to do is further the level of competition for young people who often don’t get a chance to be together,” he said in a statement. Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas also chimed in, calling the Games a huge economic boost to the North Country. ÒM any past athletes that have competed in the Empire State Winter Games have gone on to represent the North Country and the USA in many Olympic Games and have been very successful,Ó he said. ÒT his funding ensures that the dream of our young athletes stays alive, and in 2016 will bring the international community to our region.Ó Planning for the 2016 Games will begin on March 1.
Empire State Winter Games organizers Kathy Pfohl, Jeff Byrne, James McKenna and Michele Clement discuss the 2015 installment of the winter athletic event with a reporter on Monday, Dec. 22.

Our own New Year’s resolutions
R
ing out the old; ring in the new. Ring, happy bells, across the snow. The year is going; let him go.
2014 has come and gone, leaving us with plenty of memories and plenty of things to look forward to. At this time of year, the term New Year’s resolution is used to help set goals for the turning of the page now known as 2015, and we here at Denton Publications have some of our own goals and hopes for the next 365 days: The New Year is the perfect time to take an inventory of prior year’s achievements and set one’s sight for opportunities in 2015. On the business side, we resolve to continue our efforts to improve the coverage in our community newspapers. From an employer’s side, I resolve to be more attentive to team building within our staff so we can enhance the opportunities for those we employ. And lastly, on the personal side, I resolve to be a better husband, parent, grandfather, brother and friend to those closest to me who all to often have taken a back seat to my professional life. Dan Alexander, Publisher My single largest goal heading into the New Year is simply to be more optimistic and positive. I hope to compliment more and be less critical of others Ñ especially when it is done in the shadows and not face to face. I see the negativity spill forth all around Ñ during water cooler chatter and posted on social media. It is counterproductive to happiness and saps valuable time that could be used to better our own lives as well as society as a whole. Lastly, I will strive to associate with supportive, encouraging people. If you want to be successful, associate with successful people. If you want to be a positive person, associate with the same. John Gereau Obviously, I have some of the more traditional resolutions people have each year, like losing weight, but one I think I will be more focused on this year is trying to work on the bonds within my family. I have always told my children they need to realize how important they will be to each other as they grow older. While adoption was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me, the main Òw hat ifÓ in my life is what it would have been like with a sibling (obviously, I wanted a brother, although I’m sure my parents had enough of boys after the first one). I want to help them build that bond with each other and between my wife and I, as their parents. Keith Lobdell Eat local. Chowing down on processed, overpriced slop benefits few aside from giant commercial farms, multinational food companies and the segments of the medical biz who stand to benefit from treating preventive diseases. One regional company, in particular, deserves the lion’s share of
blame for endlessly flogging their unhealthy fare to working class folks despite the fact that they can use their influence to induce residents to make better lifestyle choices by setting a positive example. I won’t give them my business this year. Instead, I’ll redirect that spending to support local agriculture. Pete DeMola I want to be a better version of me. I hate New Year’s resolutions. Every year, I put about 50 idiotic things onto my resolution list. After Jan. 1, I won’t eat Indian food twice a week instead of cooking. Next year, I’ll write a children’s book. On New Year’s day, I’ll finally use those $80 rollerblades that just sit in my closet. These generalized, somewhat meaningless goals don’t really make my year all that better. I think this year I will just vow to grow up; I’ll read more books and less magazines, drink more water and less beer, listen more and talk less, relax more and worry less and see what I can bring to 2015, not what it can bring to me. Maggie Morgan
The way I see it, waiting to start (or stop) doing something on the first of the year probably means I’ve probably capped off the outgoing year with a streak of procrastinating. That said, I’m going to try things a little differently this year and keep doing what has been working rather than biting off too many new things to chew. So, I’ll build more furniture, snowboard as much as I can, shoot for the annual trip to a Syracuse basketball game, and keep up this veggies-insteadof-garbage-food kick I’ve been on for a few months. Maybe I’ll throw in a few things along the way when I think I need to, not when the calendar dictates it. Andrew Johnstone Patronize the businesses in your community. Shopping with local, independently owned businesses offers a wealth of advantages. Not only will you save travel time and expenses, but you will be supporting local job creation, as well as help support the vitality and sustainability of your community. Also, small businesses offer more comprehensive, personalized service Ñ because the proprietors understand your needs Ñ which can mean greater satisfaction derived from purchases. Dollars spent at independent businesses return three times more money to the local economy than money spent at a chain store. Local enterprises, owned by local citizens who have a long-term stake in the community and its future, spend far more money in their hometowns, boosting local prosperity. Local businesses generate far more tax revenue per sales dollar, and build the local tax base, supporting various vital services. Buying from local businesses supports the kind of vibrant, cohesive community Ñ with its own distinctive charm Ñ t hat we want to live in. Thom Randall

Guest Editorial
Thank you, Bill A
By David G. Welch
s 2014 comes to a close, we also say god bye to Congressman Bill Owens who completes his term Dec 31. We should all say thanks to Bill for his hard work over the past several years. He was a unique individual in the recent days of Congress in that he voted based on the needs of the country and the district and not based on his personal agenda or pressure from the party. While there were times that his votes caused consternation from both liberal and conservative thinkers, and while almost none of us would say that we agreed with every one of his votes or positions, what we do know is that his decisions were based on study and understanding of the issues. On the few occasions that I had the opportunity to meet with Bill, I was very impressed that both he and his staff were already well versed in the topic I was there to discuss. He was able to ask pertinent questions and I was able to present my opinions or comments in a way that I felt were listened to by someone who really wanted to have my input. Such preparation and interest is rare among elected officials. When visiting some others, I was either passed off to an aide who may or may not have any information about the topic at hand or received a Ò lectureÓ from the official who had clearly already established a set opinion on the topic and would not even give my thoughts any consideration. In talking to Bill, you always left feeling that at least you were heard even if we did not ultimately agree. I also had the opportunity to ask Bill’s office for assistance in helping one of my patients obtain a much needed piece of durable medical equipment. We were getting nowhere with the Medicare intermediaries but with assistance from Bill’s staff, we were finally able to reach a compromise and get him the needed equipment. Bill, you were a true statesman and a real asset to the 21st Congressional District and to the country. I will miss your thoughtful consideration of legislation and your efforts to promote action that was good for the country and for our district. Thanks again for all your hard work and good luck in any new ventures you chose to undertake. Dr. David G. Welch is a general practitioner who resides in Lake Placid.

Council
From page 1 in a deficit situation, we may end up having to lay people off.Ó Aside from Councilor Kasper’s reluctance, most of the remaining councilors voiced support for the position, saying that the hope would be that a dedicated Events Coordinator would have an overall positive outcome for the city, and should in a short time more than justify the $43,262 price tag. “I think we’re in a position which should have been taken years and years ago,Ó said Councilor Rachelle Armstrong. Ò Sometimes you have to make an investment to generate the concept that Plattsburgh is a destination.Ó Councilor Mike Kelly struck a more measured tone, saying: Ò I too worry about will we have to lay this person off if we have the fiscal problems we could, but I could support the position if we get the right person in.Ó When the vote was cast, only Councilor Kasper voted against funding the position. In a unanimous vote shortly after, Councilors voted to pass the 2015 city budget. “Your first budget was a difficult one,” said Mayor James Calnon. “Hopefully future budgets won’t be so difficult.”
Here is Shadow, an adoptable cat from Elmore SPCAÉ SHADOW DOMESTIC MEDIUM HAIR TIGER-TORTI ARRIVED 08/25/14 @ 5LBS @ SEVEN-MONTHS-OLD FEMALE
Elmore SPCA Rebecca Burdo •643-2451; info@elmorespca.org Here is Chino, an adoptable dog from Elmore SPCAÉ CHINO ROTTWEILER/AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER MIX ARRIVED 11/15/14 @ 87LBS @ THREE TO FIVE-YEARS-OLD MALE ***GRAIN FREE DIET*** Chino is a super sweet dog that was brought in to AHS by law enforcement because his owners couldn’t care for him. When Elmore SPCA arrived at AHS he was covered in fleas and was suffering from flea dermititis and a skin infection. He also had a raw area on his neck (from his previous home) where his collar had almost become embedded. We neutered him, made him current on vaccinations, got rid of the fleas, treated him with antibiotics and put him on a grain free diet. He is now doing much better, is much more comfortable and is very engaging. He is a very well behaved dog that lives to please his people. He is very gentle with children and loves to be play with toys and go for walks. Chino has lived successfully with other dogs both in his previous home and at AHS, however he doesn’t get along with all dogs. He seems to be okay with cats. This big lug has been hit...he cowers and sometimes submissive urinates if he thinks he is in trouble. He startles at fast hand movements. Chino has had a tough time of it, but he is full of fun, life and love! He deserves a wonderful home where he will receive all the love and attention he longs for! ***UPDATE***Chino has been a joy to have at the shelter! He is best buddies with Angel the Lab/Boxer mix and he loves to hang out in the office and in the dog room. Chino just adores kids and he is very gentle with them. He is our go to dog when someone with special needs comes in and wants to interact with a dog. Chino is a very smart dog that has learned to open his latched gate! He wants to please his people and catches on very quickly. Come in and meet this great dog who is a pup at heart.
Shadow is a great kitten that really enjoys the company of her people. She was surrendered by her owner, tearfully and with regret. They could no longer take care of her and her sister Kiki, their mother KC and their buddy Jynx, so they can find their forever homes! Shadow is a gorgeous young kitten that lives well with other cats, has never been around dogs and has never really been around kids. Like her buddies, she has ear mites and a touch of a cold, so we are treating her. She is a joy to have around, is playful and cuddly and would love to meet her new family. Shadow is now current on vaccinations, has tested negative for FeLV/FIV and is spayed. She will be available for adoption after she is cleared by our vet. ***UPDATE*** Shadow is a sweet young cat that just loves to be around people and other cats. She has been battling an ongoing respiratory issue, but she is much better now and would love to meet her new family. She needs to be groomed due to some matting. Shadow has never been around dogs, but we think she will do well with dogs as long as she can have her own space, Although she isn’t a fan of being carried around she does love to rub her people and get attention. Come in and meet this gorgeous cat!
