Students get down and dirty with archaeology

Participants excavated at the Coopersville site throughout November.

Local students ages 8 and up discovered several different types of artifacts.

SUNY Plattsburgh student Carolyn Valada taught local students different excavation techniques during their time at the Coopersville site throughout November.

Local students assist professionals in researching, analyzing artifacts from Coopersville site

the cabin in which the family once resided in.

Throughout the project, students worked closely with McCormick and Andrew Black, SUNY Plattsburgh adjunct professor and professional archaeologist, not only to find artifacts, but research and analyze them at the anthropology lab on campus and assist to create two interactive panels.

teah@suncommunitynews.com

DIGGING TO HISTORY Black first discovered the site in 1998 in the back pasture of a farm he purchased. He discovered traces and bits of old rubbish such as broken dishes, brick fragments and nails.

In 1999 and 2000, Black conducted preliminary excavations in a few parts of the site with student volunteers from SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Plattsburgh when they discovered artifacts and a small portion of a buried drain made out of wood.

Analysis of the material revealed that the site was once a small family farmstead dating back to the early 1800s when an increased wave of immigrants arrived from New England and Canada.

When Black began teaching part time at SUNY Plattsburgh in 2011, an opportunity arose to continue excavating the site.

Over the seasons of returning to the site, the group found remnants of an old cabin, along with bones from a variety

of domestic and wild animals, including pigs, sheep, cows, chickens, geese and deer.

The owner of the lot is still yet to be determined since property deeds are very hard to find before the 1840s.

There’s still much to be discovered, Black said, and he intends to do it with the help of students.

“By experiencing, students develop an appreciation of local history,” he said. “There’s a wealth of valuable history in Champlain Valley and we hope to get the next generation interested in our history.”

CHAMPLAIN — Local students got dirty excavating artifacts and learned how to preserve, research and interpret those items from an early 19th century archaeological site in November.

The Samuel de Champlain History Center, SUNY Plattsburgh anthropology department and Champlain received nearly $25,000 from the 2015 Champlain Valley National Heritage Local Heritage Grants Program to provide experiential learning opportunities for local students.

“As soon as we got the grant,” said Jan McCormick, museum curator and educator at the Samuel de Champlain History Center, “we were in the dirt.”

Around 40 students participated in this excursion — 20 homeschoolers and 20 in-schoolers from all over Clinton County ages 8 and up — and discovered a variety of artifacts from sewing accessories and meat bones to the structure of

Eating for a cause

St. Augustine’s council makes effort to raise money for local charities and council program

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PERU — One local group hopes empty stomachs will translate to big hearts.

St. Augustine’s Knights of Columbus Council will host a spaghetti dinner Saturday, Jan. 16.

The all-you-can eat dinner features the usual standard fare.

“It’s good food at a good price for a good cause,” said Bill Allan, grand knight of the St. Augustine’s Knights of Columbus Council.

Allan said the proceeds will be given to St. Augustine’s and, from there, will be distributed to a number of local charities and council programs.

The group hopes to raise $1,000 at the event, along with

another $2,000 for two future dinners on Feb. 18 and April 15.

Throughout the year, the council also hosts weekly bingo sessions, an annual golf tournament and various donations and fundraisers, including the Coats for Kids Program that provides 24 jackets for fourth to sixth grade boys and girls in Peru Elementary school.

The council recently donated coats a few months ago that cost close to $500. Coats for Kids Chairman John Ryan said they hope to do the same, if not more, next year.

Ryan said the council is very appreciative of the help from the local community.

“We’re a very active council and we like helping people,” Ryan said. “But none of our work could be done without the support of the public and the local business community.”

The spaghetti dinner will take place Saturday, Jan. 16 at the St. Augustine’s Parish Center from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The dinner costs $7.50 per person, $2.50 for children 6 to 12, free for children 5 and under and $20 per family (parents and children). Take-outs are available. For more information, call 518-643-3286.

(L-R) Vounteer servers Don McBrayer, Dale Dupree, Shirley LaReauKemp and Michael Sullivan worked hard to serve their spaghetti dinners last January. The St. Augustine’s Knights of Columbus annual spaghetti dinner happens three times each year to raise money for local charities and council programs.

St. Augustine’s soup kitchen seeks donations for walk-in cooler, freezer Facility serves 100 local residents each week

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PERU — What’s better than eating food with friends?

Eating food with friends that’s been properly stored.

St. Augustine’s is seeking donations to complete a new walk-in cooler and freezer to better preserve food for its soup kitchen.

Since 2012, the organization has been struggling with four ailing refrigerator and freezer units.

The units are inefficient and drive up energy costs, said Father Alan Schnob of St. Augustine’s.

With incorporation of the new technology the facility will save money and food for their hungry consumers.

“People are struggling,” said Schnob of St. Augustine’s. “This soup kitchen helps them.”

The kitchen receives a majority of its food from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York. Stewart’s provides milk, Bimbo Bakeries supply bread and other products are given by various donors.

Volunteers cook and serve food to about 100 residents each week, compiling a different menu depending on which items are donated.

John Ryan and Jean Ryan, part of the Knights of Columbus Council 7273, volunteer each week.

“There are a lot of people who need the soup kitchen,” John said. “But there are some people who just use it to socialize.”

Peru residents Jim McCarty and Dawne LaBombard try to visit the facility every Wednesday for that very reason.

“The food, most of the time, is good, but we go for the companionship,” LaBombard said. “There, we get to meet new people and we really enjoy being out.”

In order to continue serving food in a friendly atmosphere, the church is in need of donations.

The soup kitchen received a $2,500 donation from an unnamed source to get started on the walk-in cooler and freezer.

So far, the walls are completed. The next steps include incorporating a roof and a compressor and condenser for cooling purposes.

The amount needed to complete the freezer, Schnob said, is unknown at this point in time.

Schnob hopes to complete the work in a couple weeks.

The need for volunteers is ongoing.

St. Augustine’s Church Soup Kitchen is open

every Wednesday (except holidays) from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at St. Augustine Parish Center on Main Street in Peru. To learn more about the soup kitchen, visit peruparish.org. To donate or volunteer, contact Schnob at 518-643-2435.

A group of volunteers sets up Memorial Hall in St. Augustine’s every Wednesday to serve guests. Each week, about 100 people take advantage of the soup kitchen’s surprise menu and friendly atmosphere.

New faces grace Plattsburgh town board Board member LeFevre appointed as new deputy supervisor

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Cheers filled Plattsburgh Town Hall as one new board member got sworn in and another became deputy town supervisor earlier this month.

Deputy Supervisor Meg LeFevre and board member Barbara Hebert gained their new titles after during the first town board meeting Jan. 4.

Supervisor Michael Cashman stated during the meeting how it’s the first time, in a long time, there has been more than one woman serving on the board at the same time.

“I’m absolutely ecstatic,” Cashman said. “Now, we definitely have a good blend of different people with different experiences.”

Hebert said she was approached by Cashman to be part of the town’s team. She accepted the invite in hopes to bring her 20 plus years of human resources experience to the town.

“I wanted to be part of the team,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity.”

Cashman tapped LeFevre as his deputy.

“Meg has a wealth of knowledge and leadership skills,” Cashman said. “She’s also a very dear friend of mine and I’m really excited to have her on board as my deputy supervisor.”

LeFevre won her Plattsburgh town council seat last year against Republican candidate Tom Metz, joining the council not just as the only woman, but the youngest member in her early 30s.

Since the election, LeFevre has spearheaded the town’s efforts for renewable energy and learned the ins and outs of the water/wastewater department. LeFevre also founded the Inaugural Women’s Leadership Summit with SUNY Plattsburgh’s Career Development Center.

LeFevre said she’s looking forward to another year serving the town and its residents.

“I think of my position on the board as an opportunity to help take care of the place I live and gives me a chance to encourage others to take a similar interest in caring for this town,” she said. “I believe that when we all work together toward a common goal, we can’t go wrong.”

Stefanik slams Obama on guns, lays out 2016 priorities Presidential edict “unconstitutional,” says rep

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY21) is not a fan of President Barack Obama’s executive order on gun control, which he announced last week.

The first-term congresswoman blasted the president, calling his actions an “unconstitutional executive overreach.”

“Once again, this president is circumventing Congress. Instead of legislating, he should be working with Congress,” said Stefanik in a phone interview.

Following a series of high profile shooting incidents, the president formally rolled out the actions in a tearful address last week, arguing Congress had failed to act on a national “sense of urgency.”

The actions include tightening up background checks on all gun sellers, adding more ATF agents to enforce existing gun laws and ending the freeze on federally-funded gun research.

Obama also called for Congress to invest $500 million to increase access to mental health care by increasing service capacity and the behavioral health workforce.

Stefanik said she’s been working on legislation with Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA18) supporting mental health reform, which she called a bipartisan issue.

Murphy’s bill, which passed the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health last November, includes provisions to make it easier for judges to mandate outpatient treatment and for caregivers to access the mental health treatment plans for violent patients.

The bill, which has Democratic support, also addresses a shortage of inpatient beds for psychiatric patients, reauthorizes a suicide-prevention program, improves coordination between government agencies that serve the mentally ill and creates a grant program school services for kids with emotional problems.

“We’re likely to see action early this year,” Stefanik said.

“I’m hopeful it will move forward in the coming weeks and months.”

Stefanik stopped short of endorsing any other forms of gun control.

“Mental health is a bipartisan issue,” Stefanik said.

In an interview to discuss her first year in office, the freshman lawmaker also sounded off on a number of issues.

On bridging the bipartisan gap in an era of increased polarization, Stefanik said it’s “incredibly important” for candidates to put forth a forward-looking view of optimism.

Leading by example is im-

portant, said Stefanik, citing her work on legislation passed last year, including the multi-year highway bill, the Student Success Act and the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention Act. “I think in my first year, I’ve demonstrated that,” said Stefanik, circling back to the president.

“One of the weaknesses of this presidency and this administration is President Obama has been ineffective at

reaching out to Congress in both parties and we’ve seen this again and again on a number of issues,” said Stefanik.

At the federal level, priorities for the rep this year include tax and regulatory reform — these measures will aid in job creation, said the lawmaker — and additional reforms to the Affordable Care Act, including offering a replacement plan and repealing the medical device tax, which Stefanik says harms manufacturers in the district.

Stefanik said she is continuing to hear feedback from constituents on the rise in premium prices and deductibles.

Here in the district, expanding rural broadband access and addressing invasive species remain key issues.

Stefanik said she will work with state reps to ensure movement continues on those measures and that her office will take the lead at the federal level.

The rep also said she was proud of her work with Millennials — Stefanik chaired three hearings last year to highlight policy issues facing the group — as well as her efforts to be transparent and communicative with her constituents, including posting votes on social media and a series of town halls across the expansive district.

Stefanik, who was elected in Nov. 2014, faces a challenge this year from Democrat Mike Derrick, a retired Army colonel.

“I’m focused on doing my job,” Stefanik said when asked about her opponent. “We’re getting tremendous positive feedback from Republicans, Democrats, Conservatives and independents. I have been a proven energetic leader in Congress on behalf of the district, putting my district before partisan politics, and I’m going to continue doing my job.”

Stefanik remained similarly tight-lipped on the GOP presidential race.

“The breadth of the Republican field is a strength, but I am not endorsing a candidate at this point. Now that I have the first year under my belt, I’m continuing to work to do the best I can on behalf of this district.”

here has to be a first time for everything.

It’s not often an arm of the federal government actually listens to the public’s concerns and chooses to drop their previously announced plans.

Yet a public outcry has caused the IRS, of all agencies, to withdraw its controversial plan to have nonprofit charities report the Social Security numbers of their donors contributing as little as $250 or more in any given year.

The Internal Revenue Service or better known as just the IRS is one agency that typically strikes fear in the average citizen. Cross those IRS folks the wrong way and you could be in for more trouble than you ever thought possible.

Under the proposed rule the IRS would have created a “voluntary” system for nonprofits to collect and send the IRS personal donor information in their yearly report. The IRS erroneously believed this rule would simplify the process for nonprofits and donors alike.

The underlining concern for many nonprofits revolves around their relationship with their donors and the trust built between them. Greater IRS involvement could not only scare away donors but pose potential liabilities for the nonprofit organizations.

The IRS claimed the new rule, which was proposed in September, would prove useful in part because some taxpayers who were being audited claimed they lost their donation records– and if charities had a record, it would help them verify deductions.

The proposal would have imposed no mandatory changes to existing IRS rules but the fear was that the voluntary option could eventually become mandatory, given the way federal rules tend to creep.

While the proposal may have sounded innocent enough, to a well meaning IRS administrator, the fact is that the relationship between some nonprofits and the IRS is still rather touchy from trust issues in the wake of the controversy over officials subjecting conservative groups to additional scrutiny – and the subsequent data breaches that followed.

While the IRS originally described the uproar over the proposed new rule as misimpressions and inaccuracies the bottom line is someone at the IRS realized in a moment of common sense clarity that this was just plain and simple a bad idea that wasn’t going to fly.

The fact that they are willing to abandon their plans shows there is hope yet for a kinder and friendly IRS in our future. And that, is something to cheer about.

Trump stump reveals both sides could use lesson in free speech

H

e came, saw and incited.

Last week, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stumped in Burlington, Vermont.

Striking deep into Bernie Sanders territory seemed like a classically antagonistic move for the front runner, who has stayed on top of the polls, in part, by issuing a steady stream of invective and defying conventional political wisdom, like George Costanza in “Seinfeld.”

The famously tolerant city reacted just as you’d expect, with howls of protest.

While Trump’s visit — and the hysterical shrieks of the left — did little to move the needle on what is increasingly looking like Trump’s nomination to lose, it did expose how the concept of free speech itself has become cleaved along partisan lines.

Following the candidate’s New Year’s Eve announcement, protesters reportedly hatched a scheme to reserve tickets and not attend, which would, in theory, leave large swathes of the venue empty, thus embarrassing the egocentric candidate.

Trump’s campaign reacted by issuing nearly 20,000 tickets, far above the venue’s 1,400-seat capacity.

This led to an escalation of tension as the city prepared for discord.

As T-Day loomed closer, public reaction began to border on the satirical, like when local artists began lobbying the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts to cancel the event.

These artists, who make their living on free expression, engaged in every logical contortion imaginable to justify restricting those very same rights for someone whose views they found disagreeable.

In doing so, they exposed one of the major fault lines that represents the hypocrisy of the left: I’m tolerant of other views as long as I find them agreeable.

Their efforts, of course, backfired.

When the sideshow eventually arrived in town, attendees were made to take a loyalty oath by security staff before entering the venue.

The national press corps noted this was unique, even for the Trump campaign, which has defied all political convention since achieving lift-off last summer.

It wasn’t enough to be Republican — you had to pledge fealty to the Donald.

Those who admitted they weren’t Trump supporters were turned away, making the rally, in effect, a handpicked audience of the faithful, one who the campaign could reasonably believe would provide the required optics — That even Trump is wildly popular behind enemy lines.

Of course, the candidate’s 70-minute free-associative speech was still marred by interruptions.

Protesters shouted down the candidate at least a half-dozen times before they were evicted.

Trump, who is leading in national polls and in several early states, reacted just like you’d expect: He mocked the protesters as being feeble and drug addicted.

“Get �em out here!”

He urged security staff to send them outside without their coats. And when they didn’t move quickly enough, he ribbed them, too.

Then something remarkable happened.

The speech took on overtones of a fascist rally: Senior CNN Washington Correspondent Jeff Zelany wrote on Twitter that attendees appeared to be turning on would-be-protestors, something he hadn’t yet seen in this election cycle, as unusual as it has been so far.

As the real estate developer regaled the audience with his schoolboy taunts, the crowd grew increasingly frenzied. Trump said the near-constant stream of interruptions made his events — which are more rock concerts than stump speeches — that much more exciting.

While the campaign was within their right to remove those in violation of

their lease agreement — especially those shouting him down — the display was equally unrepresentative of democratic ideals as the protestors’ desire to shelf it in the first place.

And that, in a sense, really characterizes this election cycle: A group of candidates turning the country against itself for craven political gain.

Sanders and Trump have a lot in common.

Both outsiders, the pair aim to appeal to that same gut instinct towards authenticity — they simply speak different dialects of the same language, that of the vanishing middle class and growing wealth inequality.

Trump revels in the dog whistle appeal to American exceptionalism; Sanders, in fiery broadsides against the corporate class.

The targets are the same for both.

And both eschew corporate cash and the reliance on wealthy donors that has marred American politics.

It’s uncanny how a billionaire, who has spent his career peering at the working class from afar, can connect better with the general public than a rumpled democratic socialist, who has spent his career in the policy trenches.

“I’m taking care of my people, not people who don’t want to vote for me or are undecided,” Trump said in a statement prior to the Burlington event. “They are loyal to me and I am loyal to them.”

Pundits say this political season has been weird.

But it really hasn’t.

It’s just that the electorate is tired of canned talking points and are gravitating towards perceived authenticity on either end of the spectrum.

Despite their differences, Sanders and Trump are essentially asking voters the same basic question: What has your party, the one to whom you’ve always been faithful, done for you?

Nothing.

We’re not in the prediction business. Anything could happen as voters start heading to the polls in February for the first nominating contests.

If nothing else, we hope both candidates, each remarkable in their own way, will lead voters to challenge their core parties’ beliefs.

In doing so, hopefully both sides will realize free speech is not a partisan issue.

ZoningÊ law:Ê DevilÊ isÊ inÊ theÊ details

To the Editor: The Town Board of Elizabethtown has once again been asked to consider a change in local zoning law as having been proposed by the Planning Board and a few others.

This involves the hamlet only, but the hamlet could be made larger in the future. It’s a follow up to a town wide Comprehensive Plan approved a year ago. The town wide Comprehensive Plan was neutralized to the point of becoming acceptable, but now we start over with the hamlet plan which is called the Land Use Local Law and Development Regulations.

Once again Smart Growth and Agenda 21 concepts are included, which is about social, economic, and environmental change which progresses toward most development only being allowed in the hamlets and is strictly regulated. A regional partnership with the APA seems to be part of it, perhaps giving them greater control within our hamlets.

The specific objectives of this law, as stated in Article 1, are to meet the community goals of creating a regulatory process which will fulfill the community desires for natural resource conservation and to insure optimum overall conservation protection. I’m surprised that environmental regulation is the top priority of our community.

The existing hamlet zoning law contains 58 pages of large print. The new proposal contains 111 pages of small print. This will change your property rights. Everything will require a permit and approval, even your dog house, which will not be in your front or side yards. All future houses will be within 35’ of the street. Parking for all uses shall be at the sole discretion of the Planning Board, location and size, or not at all. The density of our population will be measured by a Planning Board that will gain authority with this law and whose members cannot be removed before the end of their five year appointment without a public hearing, which will become an informal trial.

For you business owners the Planning Board may require all exterior lights and signs to be extinguished 30 minutes after the close of business; think insurance. The Planning Board may require existing signs be made smaller, shorter, and duller; think expense.

A presentation will occur this winter. Copies of this new zoning law are available in the town hall and/or on the town web site. While there may be aspects of this proposal that will appeal to some, there are most certainly aspects that will not be acceptable to others. The details will be critical, if you can understand them. I do not understand all the details, nor how this ties us in with the APA, and this concerns me. It should concern you too.

DecreasingÊ educationÊ notÊ theÊ solution

To the Editor: Lee Burns is absolutely right; we cannot and must not decrease education. We have improved health care over the years and EMS must maintain a similar level of increased education. To diminish the need for education and training simply translates to providers giving lip service to “giving back to the community” when in fact they are not willing to put forth the effort.

As it is now, most EMS providers just meet the absolute minimum for continuing education and are unwilling to put forth any extra effort to become more educated. A common phrase I have heard innumerable times is “ I know enough to do my job, I don’t need to know more”.

This is not the person I want working on my family member! There is no simple answer to the personnel shortage but I can assure you decreasing education will only lead to increased risk of litigation and poor patient care.

Ask the county to provide ambulance service, contract with a private service, share services with a bordering county, but it’s time to realize that volunteer services do not work and you have to let them die and make appropriate changes; and dumbing down EMS education is not an acceptable option!

ContinuingÊ integrityÊ inÊ Thurman

To the Editor: I congratulate Thurman on its Ethics Policy! Although the Post Star gave credit to Queensbury for being the first to act on the new Ethic Policy, Thurman did have it up for vote last year, well before Queensbury. Three members of the board at that time, including Mike Eddy who still sits on the board, voted it down. When asked what specifics was causing concern, and being told that the policy could be adjusted, Councilman Dan Smith raised issue with one section.

After some discussion it became apparent that he completely misunderstood that section. Even with that issue eliminated he still objected to the policy but would state no other specific concerns.

Looking at the mandates required by the code, as stated in this article, it makes one wonder why these three members of the board voted it down and why Mike Eddy, who has offered no reason for his negative vote, continues to vote against it.

ThankÊ youÊ forÊ libraryÊ support

To the Editor: The Elizabethtown Library, like all nonprofits, relies on the support of the public it serves. How fortunate that over the years this library has enjoyed the support of your local elected officials, of helpful volunteers, of a small, dedicated staff, and, essentially, of you, the public.

Your support of the library was evident again in our annual appeal. Even in these trying economic times our library exceeded its goal. For that we thank you.

Your volunteer board and your library director hold ourselves accountable that every penny you have entrusted to us will be well and wisely spent.

David Downs Library Board Secretary

GenerosityÊ goesÊ aÊ longÊ way

To the Editor: It is truly amazing how generous so many people and organizations are in the weeks leading up to Christmas. It is equally amazing how many struggling North Country children and families benefit from this spirit of giving. Under the magical direction of our own Cheri Reynolds, social services staff work hard to keep up with the massive influx of donations of toys and clothing and emergency fund money, spending extra time coordinating, receiving, wrapping, delivering bags of gifts for families and kids who would otherwise feel the sting of very “un-special” holidays.

On behalf of the magic of the season, we wish to thank the following individuals and organizations: Adirondack Health Institute staff, St. Elizabeth’s Church family, St. Phillip Neri’s Church family, NYS DEC staff, Cedar Run Bakery and customers, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union, Elizabethown Thrift Store, Whiteface Lodge and customers, Marine Toy Train, Zone 3 (Lewis) New York State Police, Alan and Jackie Stokes, and many, many county employees from virtually all county departments.

John P. O’Neill Commissioner

TheÊ USAÊ doesÊ needÊ Trump!

To the Editor: Trump might not be the perfect republican, but in my eyes he is an honest man, doesn’t lie, he doesn’t cover things up, and cares about the current shape our nation is in and where its heading.

Trump knows our government is broken, elected government workers aren’t doing their jobs, and they are all afraid to question and speak up to Obama about anything he does or says.

We are no longer respected by other nations, we are spending trillions of dollars and in the wrong areas, all because of Obama, the man who should have been impeached years ago.

Trump is for all the people that are fed up with Obama, his party and how he is running this nation.

Gary you are worried about your grand kids being sacrificed? How do you feel about all our troops in the last seven years that have been wounded and their lives destroyed, and for what? All from a promise when elected said troops will start coming home within six months and that our troops shouldn’t be where they are fighting this unneeded war, and that at one time stated ISIS is of no danger to our nation.

It will go down in history Gary, what a great job this president did and how much he did for the nation and your grand kids.

RememberingÊ LenoreÊ Smith

To the Editor: Thank you for your excellent article on Lenore Smith. I first met her in the mid 70’s when I was the secretary of the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce and she was its president. Lenore was creative, a hard worker and always achieved her goals. She had an great eye for architecture and home design. In her 90’s she learned how to email and sell postcards and Burleigh prints on Ebay. We were friends for 40+ years, I will miss her very much.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Squeal like a pig Gordie Little

Columnist

M

y mother often scolded me by saying, “Your bedroom looks like a pigsty. Clean it up.” I pondered that last Sunday after a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs.

My thoughts are often connected in strange sequences and this was no exception: Bacon— pigs—pigsty. Pigs have been part of my long life and perhaps of yours. My mother used a lot of those “pig” expressions. When I stop to think about it, so do I. For example, I have been accused of buying many “pigs in a poke” where the poke was a bag hiding the pig.

Many more “pig” sayings flooded my mind: “Happy as a pig in clover” (or in something else); “Squeal like a stuck pig;” or “Lipstick on a pig”. Some of us are old enough to remember the “Bay of Pigs.” President Harry S. Truman once said, “Why, this fellow don’t know any more about politics than a pig knows about Sunday.”

Robert Heinlein said: “Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.” A similar quote was attributed to humorist Will Rogers. Kaye and I can also intone the old nursery rhyme ditty, “Tom Tom, the piper’s son, stole a pig and away he run.” Isn’t amazing how those words stay with us through the years?

I have no idea who originated the following: “The only part of a pig you can’t use is his squeal.” I also like the French proverb that reads, “A pig’s tail will never make a good arrow.” One of my dad’s favorites when I told him I was going somewhere that didn’t meet with his approval: “In a pig’s eye you will.” My mother chimed in: “When pigs fly.”

Who among us didn’t have a piggy bank? I used my mother’s kitchen knife in the slot to get coins out. My parents and your parents played a game with our tiny toes when we were babies: “This little piggy went to market; this little piggy stayed home...”

There was a pig farm nearby when we moved to Morrisonville.

The odor assailed us as we walked by on a summer day. I have always been known to “pig out” or “eat like pig” at meals. That’s why I’m “as fat as a pig”.

I know what a pig’s insides look like from butchering on the farm as a teenager and college lab dissections. I can never forget the pungent smell of formaldehyde.

Jonathon Swift’s old adage about not being able to make a silk purse from a sow’s ear proved to be a challenge for industrialist Arthur D. Little (no relation) in the 1920s. He used technology to do just that. I often wonder where that comely purse is today.

Come on. Admit it. You thought of the movie “Deliverance” when I mentioned that phrase about “squealing like a stuck pig.” I thought so.

Upper Jay’s family room Beloved weekly event series continues this month at the Upper Jay Art Center

By Elizabeth Izzo

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

UPPER JAY — It’s Sunday afternoon. A frigid wind brushes snow from the bare branches of maple trees overlooking the Ausable River.

Just a few steps away from the riverbank, a weathered building sits with a sign, Upper Jay Upholstery.

The nondescript building is the sort of grey, boxy structure that one passes by and accepts as belonging there without much thought. It blends into the scenery.

The Recovery Lounge, also known as the Upper Jay Art Center, has become something of a cultural epicenter in recent years.

Every Sunday, the lounge crackles to life with its January Jams event series, a platform for amateur creatives.

Once you pass through the threshold, wild eccentricity reigns supreme.

The interior is reminiscent of an antique shop – perhaps because it once was one. Colorful posters adorn the walls, an array of quirky vintage furniture dot the interior and strings of Christmas lights dangle from the ceiling.

The diversity of the décor, coupled with the building’s history as a factory and upholstery shop, creates a strong DIY atmosphere.

The overall effect is that of a trendy hangout. It’s hip while still retaining a calming, homey vibe.

The event series itself is much the same: cool, accessible, eccentric and welcoming all at once.

Behind the series are Scott and Byron Renderer.

Scott, who is now artistic director of the center, is a professional actor who worked with the avant-garde Wooster Group in downtown New York City. Byron is a furniture upholsterer, musician and artist. Together, they carefully carved out the space that would eventually offer the North Country a respite from both the cold and the mundane.

“Spirits run high,” said artistic director Scott Renderer.

“Many who sign up have never played in front of an audience.

There are also seasoned professionals. It’s a great mix. It really

brings the community together through the art of song.”

These showcase-style open mic nights are held every Sunday during the month of January.

The Recovery Lounge encourages musicians of all ages and skill levels to participate. The goal, says Renderer, is to promote an environment where performers “are applauded for their courage to get up and do their thing.”

Participants come from all backgrounds, age groups and levels of musicianship. Each receives a smattering of applause.

Whether a singer’s voice wavers or the guitar is a little out of tune, the crowd seems to feel that performing still takes guts, especially when your neighbors are sitting in the audience.

“My husband, Drew, and I have been part of the January Jams since the beginning,” said Annie Stoltie Sprague, a repeat performer and an audience favorite. “We’ve brought our kids there since they were babies.”

Sprague says the Recovery Lounge is kind of like a community family room: “It’s a safe, comfortable place to make music, to play what you love for people who know you and support you and won’t judge you,” she said. “But it’s also a safe, comfortable place just to socialize, to be with your neighbors, to catch up.”

With such overwhelming positivity, it’s no surprise that the Jams have become increasingly popular with every year, prompting some performers to travel from as far away as Malone just to attend.

“The audience is very receptive, attentive, polite and always kind to the performers, no matter the level of performing experience,” said singer-songwriter Stan Oliva, who frequents the series every year. “My favorite thing is listening to a new, raw artist trying their best to present their musical ideas. And as a singer songwriter, the Recovery Lounge offers a wonderful space to showcase new songs I am working on.”

Musicians are asked to play no more than three songs each.

The songs tend to stay within the realm of folk, country and bluegrass, though repeat attendees may recall some notable deviations.

“The afternoon starts slow and builds to a full house of noise,” said Renderer.

As the day progresses, more and more people file in. Coats are shed, stray snowflakes are brushed away and chairs are carefully picked. Friends, neighbors, coworkers and strangers arrive, mingle and settle down to listen together.

January Jams is now underway at the Upper Jay Art Center. The popular weekly event series sees amateur musicians from across the region gather Sundays to melt the winter gloom.

As snow drifts by outside the windows, inside the Recovery Lounge, all is warm. Often times the shows end with a jam session where anyone can get up and join the mix. “I think most people walk away feeling energized and thankful for an opportunity to interact with their fellow Adirondackers, who they may or may not know,” said Renderer. “It’s friendly and entertaining and there is often some very good live music.”

Free Throw Championship announced AuSABLE FORKS — All boys and girls ages 9 to 14 are invited to participate in the local level of competition for the 2016 Knights of Columbus Basketball Free-Throw Championship Sunday, Jan. 17, at noon at the Holy Name Center gymnasium.

Seton Catholic pulls even with Keene in MVAC girls hoops

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH— The opening to the second half of the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference’s season pitted the top girls teams in Div. I against each other.

Keene, who had taken the early pole with a season-opening win against Seton Catholic in December, were returned the favor Jan. 6, as the Lady Knights fought back from the first quarter deficit to pull into a tie with the Beavers with a 38-35 win.

“It was a good win for us,” Seton Catholic coach Donna Dixon said after the game. “It was good to play a strong team like Keene and we were able to make plays late.”

The two teams headed into the fourth quarter tied, 29-29, with Gretchen Zalis and Madison Gifford exchanging baskets to keep the game level at 31-31.

After Zalis scored to give Seton a 33-31 lead, Hanna Whitney connected on a long three-pointer to give the Beavers their last lead of the game at 34-33.

With 1:38 left, Zalis was able to collect and offensive rebound and convert the basket for a 35-34 lead. about 40 seconds later, Sam Bashaw scored her final three points of the

game on a baseline jumper for a 38-34 advantage, only cut into by a Whitney free throw.

“I thought we played very well,” Keene head coach Brian

LaVallee said. “We were playing without Elly Smith (finger) and Elaina Smith fouled out in the fourth quarter. We played a tough game and, honestly, stayed with them better than I thought we were going to.”

The Beavers opened the game with a 16-10 lead, also holding the halftime advantage at 22-16, which was quickly erased as the Knights started the third quarter on a 12-0 run before Keene responded by ending the quarter on a 5-1 run to tie the game heading into the final minutes.

Zalis ended the game with 13 points to go with 12 rebounds, while Bashaw finished with 7 points and four assists.

Cailene Allen and Hailey Moore each added six points, with Nicole Bullock scoring 4 and Olivia Nachbauer 2.

For the Beavers, Whitney scored 10 of her game-high 20 points in the opening eight minutes of play, while Marta Padura made her first varsity start, scoring 8 points to go with an equal amount of rebounds, seven on the offensive glass.

Elaina Smith finished with 3 points and 11 rebounds, while Cailtyn Lopez and Gifford each scored 2 points.

Keene was unable to take advantage of their trips to the foul line, shooting 1-of-11 from the charity stripe, while Seton Catholic went 5-for-8 in their free throws.

The two teams currently share the top spot in the MVAC Div. I standings with 7-1 divisional records.

ing often go unrecognized. According to data from the U.S. Census, recreational fishing has a $115 billion annual economic impact on the U.S. economy and supports close to a million domestic jobs.

Ice at last

A

s the ice fishing season finally gets underway, it may be an appropriate time to unveil the results of recent surveys that examined participation patterns and demographics surrounding outdoor recreation.

A majority of respondents agreed that children simply were not spending enough time outdoors, and the trend is troubling. The problem was more pronounced in metropolitan areas where access to green space is limited, and WiFi is everywhere.

Unfortunately, more than two out of three sportsmen now live in metropolitan areas, where their children grow up less familiar with firearms, or fishing poles, and far removed from daily contact with field and stream. As a result, they are often uncomfortable with the pursuit of game as sport.

While over 75 percent of the nation’s population reportedly support hunting, less than seven percent of the population actually gets out in the field. A profile of those that go afield reveals the hunting population remains primarily male (89 percent), and well educated, middle aged, with 53 percent having attended college. The total number of “sportsmen and women” who hunt or fish is 38 million today, which represents roughly one out of ever five Americans.

However, when it comes to recreational camping, Hispanics currently hold the top spot, and many of the other nonconsumptive sports have realized considerable diversity in recent years.

Although the majority of participants in outdoor pursuits such as angling, camping, biking, hiking and boating have increasingly diversified over the years, hunting remains primarily an older, white man’s sport, with only about six percent of hunters declaring themselves non-white.

The Warren County Cornell Cooperative will be hosting an introductory session at the CCE Education Center Thursday, Feb. 5 for local youth that are interested in participating in the Adirondack Guide training program. The event will begin 6:30 p.m.

The program will provide participants with an opportunity to develop the required skills, knowledge and certification that are required to achieve a NYS Guides License. Featuring outings, camping trips, classes, and community service; the program will also include sessions on Search and Rescue, First Aid, Land Navigation and incident command procedures that will be used for locating individuals lost or injured within the Adirondacks. This program will be required of all new and current guides.

Youth must be age 12 by the time of the first camping trip in May and must be enrolled in 4-H within New York. Required future trips for those that choose to participate have various fees as needed.

Pre-registration is required and can be accomplished by calling 668-4881 or email mlb222@cornell.edu. For questions, call Abby Henderson 668-4881 or email aef225@cornell.edu.

Fortunately, angling remains an activity that continues to attract a widely diversified spectrum of the nation’s population as evidenced in a recent report conducted for the American Sportfishing Association.

The recently released report provides evidence that fishing attracts people from all walks of life. It also sheds a new light on anglers’ fishing habits and their loyalty to the sport.

What does an affluent, young soccer mom in suburbia have in common with a farmer living along the Appalachians? An urban hipster with a retiree rooted in America’s heartland?

A hectic, young professional with a family living on the outskirts of a metropolitan area with an empty nester who owns a vacation home in a resort area? They’re all anglers!

The report, which sheds new light on a specific core group of anglers, fishing habits and their loyalty to the sport, provides a composite portrait of the average angler They are likely to be over age 45, shop at discount stores, own their own homes and vehicles and are less likely to use computers. They account for 62 percent of all licensed anglers.

Although the stereotypical angler is an older, white male, the current angling population is much more diverse and it includes educated and active empty nesters who choose to work longer to afford a vacation home; semiretirees who’ve paid off their mortgages, have no desire to leave their communities and enjoy a slower pace of life; and well-educated suburbanites who appreciate good food and a healthy lifestyle.

100 Day Challenge to continue in Plattsburgh Residents take charge of health through 100 Day Challenge

PLATTSBURGH — For the last 100 days, children and adults have been moving more for their health. Since September a group has been participating in a Rapid Results 100-Day Challenge aimed at increasing physical activity among Clinton County residents of all ages.

The Rapid Results Challenge was launched Wednesday, Sept. 9. One hundred days later, partners in this journey have assembled to celebrate the success of the initiative and to plan for the future. “The overarching goal has been to promote physical activity, to get residents of Clinton County moving more” states youth team leader Sara Allen. Our goal now is to keep the momentum going.”

Two teams, one focused on youth and one focused on adults, developed interventions to motivate their target age groups. The youth team is comprised of representatives from Clinton County Health Department, Clinton County Youth Bureau, the Town of Plattsburgh, the Ted K Center, and North Country Thrive. Additional partners included the sites that

held activities throughout the fall and schools that distributed information.

The adult team consists of representatives of the Health Department, the Clinton County Office for the Aging, Eastern Adirondack Health Care Network, the Town of Plattsburgh, Town of Peru and the Senior Citizen’s Council of Clinton County. Each team devised a strategy to get county residents moving more.

The adult team facilitated the Clinton County Trailblazers 50/50 Challenge which challenged participants over the age of eighteen to walk at least 50 miles in 50 days. Two hundred eighty-seven people registered to take part. They have been receiving motivational messages via email to keep them engaged. Similar programs have been offered for seniors in the past but this time the opportunity was open to all adults over 18 and promoted by a diverse group of partners.

Children have been challenged to participate in events that allow them to be active and to collect stickers in “passport” booklets to track their progress. The youth initiative focused on getting information out to families about the many activities available to them. “The idea that there’s nothing to do around here, just isn’t true” according to team member Kay-

leigh Raville. Many organizations hold events but lack the capacity to really promote them. We used our collective voice to get the word out about many free and low- cost events taking place in local communities.” The youth team used the power of social media to share information about an array of opportunities at different times and locations. These included “Fun Runs”, ice skating, trail walks, play groups and more. The #ClintonCountyMove has been used throughout the challenge to let families know what is happening and when.

“Persons who have any physical mobility or other needs, call the telephone number above to arrange for accommodations” The data collected so far shows that county residents have been active this fall. The challenge now is to keep it going and to help residents establish a pattern of increased physical activity. #ClintonCountyMove will continue to be used but will now include activities for all ages. Additional hashtags may be developed to specify youth focused and adult focused opportunities. All organizations that provide free or low cost physical activity opportunities are invited to use #ClintonCountyMove on social media to promote activities from this point forward.

Machine riggers and staff at Sun Community News and Printing work to install the company’s newest investment, an inserting machine that will place up to 12 fliers into a newspaper jacket. The new automated unit is another sign of growth for the local publishing company that continues to invest and grow while other publications announce cutbacks and continue staff furloughs.

Kimberly Davis, Chair of the Disney Raffle for the Plattsburgh Noon Kiwanis Club, presented Gerald Morrow with a Check for $5,000 as the winner of their Disney Raffle. There were 1,000 tickets sold by the Plattsburgh Noon Kiwanis Club in which all the proceeds will be giving to programs for children in the local community.

still have priority on available seats.

Currently NCHF has a list of about 60 Korean War veterans for the summer flying season, but they are still picking up World War II veterans.

“If anything has come out of this, it’s that I’ve learned a great deal about the Korean War and the veterans,” said Finnegan. “Those guys did what they were asked just like the guys in World War II.” The director called it “a shame” that the public perception is different.

“They both did what they were asked, and there should be no difference in how they’re honored,” said Finnegan.

With their May 14 flight already full, and their waiting list growing, NCHF is actively looking for ways to fit more flights into the short summer flying season.

According to National Honor Flight directives, veterans only visit Washington in early and late summer due to the fact that the midsummer heat in the capital is hard for veterans,

some of whom are in their 90s.

One idea is to double-up on the number of planes flying out of Plattsburgh International Airport. Another option is to fly more weekends during the season.

Both options, Finnegan points out, will require more aggressive fundraising. Several events are already in the works in order to keep the planes in the air.

When Finnegan attended the send-off event for the very first Honor Flight in 2013, he was immediately hooked. His Mother LaVerne was a Canadian Army World War II veteran who served in London, and his Father Frank served in the Army Air Corps in China, Burma and India during World War II. At the time, his son Christopher was serving in Afghanistan.

“I went to that first send-off and I knew right then and there that I had to get involved. Bob Evans asked me to come down to the meeting with him. One thing led to another, and they were looking for people to do certain tasks, and here we are,” he said.

For Finnegan, the reaction of the veterans, from the time they’re picked up on the morning of the flight to when they get off the bus back

Cashman

home, is what keeps him coming back.

One veteran in particular, 95-year-old Marine Betty Johns, left her mark on Finnegan after her 2014 flight.

“She gave me a big hug and told me that that was the best day of her life. How can you not want to do that for other people? Plus it goes back to my mother and father — it would have been nice to see them coming down that walk of honor.”

After flying a total of 198 veterans, Finnegan credits all the volunteers who make NCHF tick.

Everyone involved in NCHF are unpaid volunteers, and without the people helping with the day-to-day tasks, from fundraising to beating the bushes looking for more veterans, Honor Flights wouldn’t be possible, he said.

NCHF maintains a web presence on Facebook at New North Country Honor Flight, as well as at nchonorflight.org, where veteran applications are available. They are also working with SUNY Plattsburgh’s public relations class on fundraising ideas.

“We’re on a good path,” says Finnegan. “If it ain’t broke, you don’t have to fix it.”

WORKING TOGETHER

From page 1 infrastructure and development.

“I was pleased to be asked to participate in Supervisor Cashman’s transition meeting; his willingness to reach out to stakeholders was a great idea,” said Clinton County Administrator Mike Zurlo. “The meeting was very well received by all attendees and should serve to allow the supervisor to hit the ground running and lead to more successes in the town of Plattsburgh.”

One of the topics — keeping what works and fixing what doesn’t — allowed the group to share their individual thoughts and opinions on what should be kept and what should be changed.

The discussion led Cashman to start reviewing the town’s policies and procedures, including the town’s public comment section for town meeting, which was recently updated.

ROOM FOR GROWTH The town houses 12 different departments: accounting, assessment, taxes, dog control, parks and recreation, codes and zoning, highway, justice, planning, water and wastewater, history and buildings and ground.

In future meetings, Cashman plans on inquiring information from department heads on what works and what doesn’t within their areas of expertise.

“There’s always room for growth and development,” he said.

The super singled out the parks and recreation department as one that worked. The department recently completed two successful challenges for Clinton County residents: Clinton County Trailblazers 50/50 Challenge and Clinton County Move Passport Challenge.

Those targeted locals from youth to elderly to get out and get moving — similar to the department’s several other sporting and recreational programs for people of all ages.

Arts in Exile From page 1

Himalaya Restaurant.

The film highlights to Dorjee’s efforts to launch a large-scale Festival of Tibetan Arts and Culture for not only Plattsburgh, but all of the Adirondack region.

“Even though our Tibetan neighbors face an incredible strain as they live outside their homeland, they have turned to the arts as one method to help solve the problems they face with their currently occupied country,” said Paul Larson, documentary producer. “As Tibetans face a sad situation an unexpectedly uplifting story emerges in this film.”

Tibet has had various stages of autonomy throughout its history. In 1950, shortly after the Chinese Civil War, the People’s Republic China incorporated into their territory as an autonomous province, a status that continues today.

TIBETAN FESTIVAL The month-long Festival of Tibetan Arts and Culture gave community members an opportunity to immerse themselves in Tibetan culture by participating in demonstrations, musical performances, lectures and ceremonies.

Tashi Rapten, who trained in traditional Tibetan medicine, not only held a public lecture on that subject, but gave private health consultations to curious community members.

Tibetan Tamdin gave musical performances of contemporary Tibetan music and made temporary tattoos for children and permanent ones for adults.

“We wanted the kids and adults of the region to have an experience that involved another culture,” said Janine Scherline, director of development at Mountain Lake PBS, in a previous interview. “It may seem like we have a small Tibetan community, and we do, but their influence is all around us.”

Making efforts to establish regional collaboration is high on the supervisor’s to-do list.

“We established a really great relationship with the city,” Cashman said.

“But we want to expand and maintain our regional collaboration efforts with other towns.”

The town and the city, along with the other stakeholders, are currently working together to come up with a plan on what to do with the north end of Plattsburgh, consisting of Cumberland Corners, City Beach and the Crete Civic Center.

Both parties intend to look at ways to enhance City Beach, capitalize on the full potential of the Cumberland Corners area and find a suitable location for construction of a regional indoor/outdoor recreation complex to replace the center either on- or off-site.

The town is also working alongside the city and Peru to highlight Battle of Plattsburgh sites.

Through their promotion, the group eventually aims to promote the North Country into a world-class historical tourist destination.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Infrastructure also remains a top priority.

Following through with speeches made on the campaign stump, Cashman aims to develop a comprehensive, long-term study to assess and recommend solutions to address Plattsburgh’s infrastructure deficit, including tackling the aging water towers and ensuring the town is maintaining a strong water system for pipes going to various homeowners and businesses.

Jobs, too, remains a focus.

“It is very important that we remind ourselves that government serves economic development best when it recognizes it is a partner in creating jobs and facilitating the various needs associated with job creation,” said Read, a Clinton County legislator. “Supervisor Cashman understands how he could help out to create jobs for those who live in the town and the county.”

MOUNTAIN LAKE MANDALA The mural came to be by the hands of local artist Sue Young and approximately 500 community members, who made exactly 3,480 mosaic tiles.

After months of planning, researching and creating, the mural was unveiled Sept. 25 not as a mural, but as a mandala -- specifically, the Mountain Lake Mandala.

“A mandala is never created for an individual but for everyone and that is exactly what we did here,” Tenzin said in a previous interview. “This mandala will be on this wall for years to come and everyone who passes by will benefit from its beauty.”

FILM CREDITS Although Larson produced the film, he couldn’t of done it, he said, without the help of Mountain Lake PBS team and others outside of the station.

Director of Photography Daniel McCullum captured images of arts, performances and the everyday lives of local Tibetans.

Larson and Editor Michael Hanson collaborated on how to put those images into what, they believe, is a well structured story.

Larson also worked closely with people from the Strand Center for the Arts, SUNY Plattsburgh, Adirondack Center for Tibet Adirondack Youth Orchestra and Plattsburgh Renewal Project on various elements of this production.

“We created this film because we saw an unique opportunity to document an extremely rare arts festival that our Tibetan neighbors in Plattsburgh have helped organize four times,” Larson said. “We really wanted to show how the people of a small community are connected to the wider world.”

“Arts in Exile: Tibetan Treasures in Small Town America” will premiere Wednesday, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. in the Strand Theatre. The screening is free and open to the public. The producer, along with the Festival of Tibetan Arts of the Adirondack Coast partners, will be in attendance for a brief question and answer session after the film. The film’s broadcast premiere on Mountain Lake PBS will be Thursday, Jan. 21 at 9 p.m. Learn more about the program and view the trailer at mountainlake.org/programs/arts-in-exile.
