Construction began on the city’s marina facility Wednesday, March 25, and construction continues on the marina.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The City of Plattsburgh began construction on the cityÕ s marina facility Wednesday, March 25 and continues to build the docks in an attempt to bring more attention to the community. Ò We want to try to infuse some economic development to our downtown, whether itÕ s sending people to Irises, Himalaya [Restaurant], Blue Collar Bistro or any of those places that arenÕ t that far away,Ó said Steve Peters, superintendant of recreation for the City of Plattsburgh, Ó or people renting bikes, that way they can explore what we have, start generating that additional attention. Once we have more visitors to our downtown area, we have more events going on, and that generates more business and helps everyone economically.Ó The City of Plattsburgh Common Council approved a contract, the final piece of this ambitious operation, March 19 with the Neagley & Chase Construction Company, LLC, for $301,700 to renovate the cityÕ s marina facility. Ò Our focus right now is really just getting it open and ensuring weÕ re providing a world-class product,Ó Peters said.

Oh!Betty IPA, the beer in honor of a band, makes the tap Plattsburgh Brewing Company releases Oh!Betty’s new award-winning brew

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Plattsburgh Brewing Co. released a new brew in honor of their award-winning band, Oh!Betty.

Jay Sloyanoff, the Brewmaster at Plattsburgh Brewing Co., created the Oh!Betty IPA, a locally-grown hops beer, which the band considers Ò refreshingÓ and Ò awesome.Ó The Oh!Betty IPA came out Friday the 13th of March. To celebrate, Oh!Betty will be hosting a Tasting of the Brew Party to sample the new hoppy local brew and listen to a few tunes by the band in Plattsburgh Brewing Co., where they were named winners.

They won a music battle at Plattsburgh Brewing’s 2014 music contest on October 7, 2014, with Jack Hurwitz and Funky Batz in second and Taylor LaValley in third. Ò One of the reasons why they did get the beer named after them was because of the way that people came in and responded to them,Ó said Kris Coste, assistant manager at Plattsburgh Brewing Co. Ò People danced when they played.Ó Plattsburgh Brewing Co. made the winning announcement at a party on New YearÕ s Eve Ñ choosing between Sit N Ponder, Andrew Peryer, Allison Peryer, Funky Batz, Kalob Drollette, The Boogie Boyz, Tyler Smith, Taylor LaValley, Mike Pedersen and Oh!Betty. Ò I like to joke and say that we won because our name sounded better with the beer than most others,Ó lead vocalist Julie Canepa laughed. Ò We did really want to see Ô Oh!BettyÕ on a tap handle.Ó Oh!Betty, a name that came from a pile of papers and a unanimous decision, started as a desire for duo Canepa and guitar player Tim Hartnett, who played together for seven years, to expand to a full band. Ò We had been playing as a duet for a number of years, and we felt we had reached a plateau,Ó Hartnett explained. Ò We were looking for a way to diversify the sound and involve more people.Ó Ò And we only wanted to audition guys named Ô Bob,Õ Ó Canepa added jokingly.

After adding bass player Bob Garrow and drummer Bob Newton, they officially became a band after playing their first gig at Irises Cafe & Wine Bar in March 2013.

Along with adding a few Bobs, the band incorporated a wide variety of music to play, including classic rock, pop, alternative music and indie music. Ò ItÕ s a mix; we basically pick a material thatÕ s well suited for JulieÕ s voice, which is kind of unusual for a female voice because

she sings lower, which gives her a certain quality to her voice Ñ a certain sound,Ó Hartnett said. Ò ItÕ s an advantage to me because, in most cases, I couldnÕ t sing higher than a woman, so it makes for some great vocal opportunities.Ó Not only does Canepa have a unique voice, but a knack for songwriting. Though Canepa writes most songs, Hartnett does as well, focusing on events that happen in life. Ò ItÕ s songs about losing your job or ending up in a hospital, and some of those things actually happened,Ó Canepa chuckled. Ò So, itÕ s like life imitating art instead of art imitating life.Ó For more information on the Plattsburgh Brewing Co. or Jay the BrewmasterÕ s brews, visit www.plattsburghbrewingco. com/#about.

For more information on Oh!Betty, like their Facebook page Ò Oh!Betty.Ó Ò It comes down to us playing to an empty room, really,Ó Newton said. Ò We love to play music.Ó Ò As far as IÕ m concerned, we just play for fun,Ó Garrow added. Ò ItÕ s the love of performing.Ó For more information on the tasting party at Plattsburgh Brewing Company, check out the event page Ò Tasting of the Brew Party!Ó Ò First of all,Ó Canepa said, Ò you get to taste an award-winning, locally-grown, locally-brewed beer, which is just totally cool.Ó Ò And itÕ s a Tuesday night,Ó Hartnett added, Ò so I donÕ t think Law & Order is on.Ó

Public Relations day helps aspiring professionals learn field Focus on medical public relations

By Melanie Rivera

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ For the past three years, SUNY PlattsburghÕ s PRSSA has used PR Day to enlighten students about different forms of public relations. This yearÕ s theme Ñ medical public relations Ñ brought students and those part of the Clinton County community together to learn about medical PR in honor of local public relations professional Mike Hildebran, who passed August 2013.

Sponsored by the Rotary Club and the student-run travel magazine DoNorth, PR Day, held on Wednesday, March 25, covered topics ranging from the Ebola crisis to event planning.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. organizations including Alliance for Positive Health, Health Education and Outreach program at SUNY Plattsburgh and University of Vermont Health Network tabled outside the event. Ò PR day is a day of celebrating PR,Ó said Rachel Jurek, PRSSA advisor and assistant professor. Ò ItÕ s a chance for the PRSSA group to kind of highlight and showcase what public relations is to not only to the campus, but to the community.Ó Although PR Day was officially held on March 25, PR Day kicked off with a pre-event on March 24. Students got to listen to alumna Jenna HochÕ s talk about her career since graduating in 2009.

Since the PRSSA was established in 2012, Hoch did not get to participate in PRSSA nor PR Day during her attendance at Plattsburgh State.

Plattsburgh State students watch PR professionals talk about their experiences in the field.

Arlene Sabo [left], Michelle Ouellette and Karen DeRusha [right] spoke about what they do during a crisis during the Ebola Crisis Panel.

Ò ItÕ s great to see the major growingÉ and how many opportunities you guys have to have that hands-on experience,Ó said Hoch.

Currently, Hoch works at Credo Community Center for the Treatment of Addictions as a marketing and development coordinator. She gave students tips on how to deal with dilemmas in the workplace and how to prepare to search for jobs. Ò She [Hoch] gave us a good perspective on how PR and marketing are intermingled, and how you can take your PR degree and just go in several different directions,Ó said Mike Mitchell, former PRSSA member and student at Plattsburgh State.

PR Day was meant to Ò highlight PR and educate students and kind of let them know the different fields that there are in medical PR,Ó said Brandi Walsh, PRSSA Event Coordinator.

The Ebola Crisis Panel, which consisted of panel members whose professions spanned from public relations, marketing, healthcare, law enforcement, journalism to sociology, exemplified how each of them work together in a health crisis.

“We definitely got an inside view on the profession,” Mitchell

said.

Previous PR Day themes have been PR, fashion and sports.

Next yearÕ s theme will be politics. Plattsburgh State student Kristen Suarez came up with this yearÕ s theme. Since Suarez is studying abroad, Walsh took over as project manager. Before, Walsh hadnÕ t been involved with PR day, but decided participate after her experience in medical PR. Ò I feel a lot of people are afraid to get into it [medical PR] because they feel like they have to know about medicineÉ but the speaker [Hoch] today said thatÕ s not necessarily the case,Ó Walsh Said.

Walsh said she hopes students will become more educated in public relations after viewing PR Day. Ò WeÕ re in a town where there are not a lot of public relations businesses, so itÕ s [PR Day] bringing what is public relationsÉ It’s not flat,” said Jurek. “We’re actually doing a lot and as we learn today in a non-profit it’s needed to promote these businesses. They donÕ t have advertising budgets, so PRÕ s away to get their information out there.Ó

Charity video game tournament helps Child’s Play charity Phi Mu Delta to raise funds for large-scale children’s organization

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Phi Mu Delta from SUNY Plattsburgh will host the school’s second video game tournament to benefit ChildÕ s Play. Ò Last semester, thanks to Rachel Jurek [assistant professor of the Journalism and Public Relations Department at SUNY Plattsburgh], I was able to start my own charity event for something I cared about, which is ChildÕ s Play,Ó said Santiago Loja, project manager of the game tournament and member of Phi Mu Delta. Ò ItÕ s amazing what they do, so IÕ ve been trying to contribute to that.Ó The live-stream gaming tournament will take place April 12 from 1 to 5 p.m. in the ACC Ballrooms. Ò The event is kind of like a telecom where the audience supports a few teams who compete against one another to raise the

most money,Ó Loja explained. Ò There are challenges, [but] itÕ s a bunch of fun.Ó Loja and other members of Phi Mu Delta hope to raise $500 to $1,000, breaking its previous record of $350 from last year’s tournament, in order to help ChildÕ s Play.

ChildÕ s Play, a national organization founded in 2003, strives to improve the lives of children in hospitals and domestic violence shelters through the generosity and kindness of the video game industry and the power of play. Ò ChildÕ s Play is an organization thatÕ s been really personal to me,Ó Loja said. Ò I myself as a child was in the hospital for a long period of time, and people forget hospitals arenÕ t the most friendly of environments for children to heal. Ò You really do need that comfort, and I do think ChildÕ s Play is doing a very noble thing caring for children trying to recover.Ó So far, Child’s Play has raised over $47 million to support over 100 hospitals worldwide, which increases every minute of every day. Phi Mu Delta, founded nationally in 1918 as the first national fraternity to accept men regardless of their race or religious affiliation, hopes to put more money into the amount already

raised for ChildÕ s Play. Ò ChildÕ s Play has been doing some great things since their founding in 2003,Ó Loja said. Ò ItÕ s a great cause.Ó SA clubs and organizations, made up of teams of four, are invited to participate in this gaming tournament with a $10 suggested donation to ChildÕ s Play. Tickets to watch the tournament and support the clubs and organizations competing and ChildÕ s Play cost $2 and are available at the information desk at the Angell College Center. All are welcome to attend.

For more information on the live-stream tournament and to register a team or buy a ticket, contact Loja at sloga001@gmail. com or visit their website (www.plattsburghcharitygaming.weebly.com).

For more information on ChildÕ s Play, visit their website (www. childsplaycharity.org). To make a donation to a specific hospital, check out their map (http://childsplaycharity.org/donate), click the nearest hospital, view their wish list and send a gift. Ò We hope the audience enjoys it and donates money for the cause,Ó Loja said. Ò ChildÕ s Play was founded as an effort to give back, and itÕ s an effort thatÕ s very much needed.Ó

The Burgh Editorial

State should charge for rescue operations

W

eÕ ve all heard the warnings from state environmental personnel and local search and rescue officials: Be prepared when entering the backcountry or potentially face dire consequences that could turn an enjoyable trek into a life or death experience.

Two recent search and rescue occurrences on Mt. Marcy this winter drive home the importance of being prepared.

The first scenario on the state’s highest peak (5,343 feet) occurred in January when two young Canadian hikers became disoriented near the summit and spent the night in sub-zero temperatures.

The second happened just a few weeks ago when a mother and her two sons, ages 7 and 11, lost sight of the trail atop Mt. Marcy and also spent a night amid frigid temps and high winds.

In each case, the individuals were rescued by members of the state Department of Environmental Conservation and state police.

While we are lucky to have such highly skilled search and rescue personnel in New York and the Adirondacks, these cases should without doubt reopen the dialogue around just who should foot the bill for these operations, especially when negligence is involved.

We believe the cost should be born by those who do not heed the warnings to be prepared Ñ most notably in extreme climate conditions like those that occur in the winter.

The price of a typical search and rescue operation can be staggering Ñ running into the tens of thousands depending on what is involved in the rescue and the duration of the search. Consider that operating a single rescue helicopter costs about $2,000 an hour and you begin to understand how quickly costs can mount.

At the same time, those that partake in these operations are putting their own lives on the line. The State Police Aviation Unit that responded to both of the aforementioned incidents faced high wind and poor visibility.

That can certainly be a recipe for disaster.

Those that negligently put themselves and others in harmÕ s way by not knowing the terrain and conditions, taking adequate gear, leaving an itinerary or turning back when the conditions warrant it should pick up the tab for their rescue Ñ and they should be happy to do it.

Doing so may just serve as a deterrent to individuals before heading haphazardly into the wilderness unprepared.

The concept of charging for search and rescue operations is not a new one.

A handful of states, including nearby Vermont and New Hampshire, currently have laws that allow a state or county to recoup costs of rescue operations.

After being on the books for nearly a decade, New Hampshire later amended its law, charging only in cases where the victim was determined to have been Ò negligent.” Experienced search and rescue officials and fish and game staff in New Hampshire determine negligence based on a responsibility code that considers a personÕ s actions against what reasonable measures could have been taken to avoid a rescue situation.

Then, the attorney general’s office gets the final say, assessing a fee for the search and rescue that helps fund future rescue operations, training and equipment as well as efforts to educate the public about being prepared before setting out.

Given the rather frequent nature of search and rescue operations in the Adirondacks Ñ and in the wake of these two alarming rescue operations in as many months Ñ we believe it is time for New York legislators to proceed as New Hampshire has and hold those who are negligent responsible for their actions.

In the meantime, the DEC urges anyone heading into the backcountry to properly plan, prepare and remain alert to changing weather conditions. Before planning a hike, the public is urged to visit DECÕ s Hiking Safety webpage at dec. ny.gov/outdoor/7865.html for current Adirondack trail conditions.

Those who become lost or encounter a backcountry emergency are encouraged to call the Forest Ranger Emergency Dispatch at 518-891-0235. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor

Kudos to E-town board To the Editor: Kudos to the current Elizabethtown Town Board and bookkeeper for recovering $157,000 of missing CHIPS money from years 2012 and 2013.

CHIPS is Consolidated Highway Aid, a reimbursement from the State for highway maintenance work, which has been a town budget revenue source for many years, except 2012 and 2013.

The reason it wasnÕ t received for those two years is because the paperwork hadnÕ t been submitted to the state. It was listed as a revenue in the budgets, but no money came in.

This amount is substantial as it relates to the budget, and your taxes.

It could have caused a 15 percent increase on your tax bill because the money had been spent, but with no reimbursement. Without NYS reimbursement, increased taxes would have been the only other source.

This is all the more important since another highway line item, highway equipment, was over expended by 400% for 2013. $25,000 budgeted, $106,000 spent. While some was spent on maintenance, most of it was spent on a new truck with the support of the Bartley administration.

That line item remained underfunded for the 2014 budget with the same $25,000 budgeted, but with a known $30,000 debt payment ( the 2013 new truck), the cost of a new broom tractor (approved by a 2013 resolution), and a full years worth of equipment maintenance cost also coming out of it.

This caused another 400% over expenditure.

The sidewalk district reserve money was pilfered to help offset these expenses for the 2014 budget, created in the fall of 2013, because overall fund balance was depleted.

It appears that the current town board and bookkeeper are trying to fix all this for you, but it takes time when addressing this level of fiscal abuse.

I assume that government transparency is of interest to most taxpayers.

Ken Fenimore, Elizabethtown

Cheers to Stefanik for accessibility To the Editor: Accessibility is one of the key factors you look for in a Congressional representative. After all, they and their staff are paid with taxpayer dollars to represent our areaÕ s interest in Washington.

Thus far, I have found Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to be a highly accessible Member of Congress.

Whether it has been meetings in her Plattsburgh office, meeting with her personally in her Washington, D.C. office or at events throughout the North Country, Congresswoman Stefanik has been enthusiastically accessible.

In meetings with her and her staff, I have found nothing but full cooperation and support for key initiatives in the North Country. From efforts to try and bring the Olympics back to Lake Placid to encouraging tourism in our North Country towns, Congresswoman Stefanik and her staff have been on top of it.

As a town supervisor in NY-21, I can say it is greatly appreciated.

Donations sought for veterans park To the Editor: A committee made up of veterans and interested residents from Lewis have formed to work on creating a veterans memorial park in Lewis.

Now, more than ever, our veterans must be recognized for their unselfish service to our great country.

The Veterans Park will be constructed on Town of Lewis property just north of the town hall. Preliminary figures of the cost will be between $50,000 and $60,000. It is the intent of the committee to conduct a fundraising campaign to cover the cost of construction of the park. The campaign will consist of this canvas letter, grant writing and a number of fundraising ideas addressed at our committee meetings.

Please consider making a donation to our worthy cause so our dreams may become a reality. With your help, we are sure that we will be able to build a monument to recognize those veterans that have served in the many wars and conflicts from our past deserve this recognition.

We are committed to this project and believe the generosity of our community and the neighboring communities will help to bring this park to fruition.

Any size donation will help in our endeavors.

Should you wish to provide a donation, please make your check out to Lewis Veterans Memorial Park and send to the Lewis Veterans Park Committee, PO Box 502, Lewis, New York, 12950.

Thank you for any consideration to assist in this very important cause.

David Blades, Supervisor, Lewis

Denton should host community event To the Editor: In your editorial of March 3, 2015, you chose to question if our local school districts are doing enough for their communities.

I would have enjoyed your editorial more if you had researched and highlighted the many opportunities our local school districts and their employees provide for our communities.

Perhaps I misunderstood your intent when you said, Ò É it is time that school officials recognize that these buildings can be more than just places we educate our children.Ó Ò JustÓ seems a little dismissive when referring to the facilities where our children spend twelve years of their lives and receive the foundation

Good Friday

of information and training that will take them to adulthood.

My real concern is that with a single phone call, or visit to the ElizabethtownÐ Lewis Central School website or those of any of the neighboring school districts, you could have obtain information regarding a number of activities that were open to the public; musicals, athletic competitions, academic presentations, and club and community events, including, but not limited to, scout meetings, walking clubs, 5K and 10K run registrations, and more.

More importantly, you could have obtained a building use form, and applied to sponsor an event that would provide the community enrichment that was suggested in your editorial.

Building use information and applications are readily available from all area school districts.

Another suggestion that you made was that school districts should consider budgeting for services and employees to support community based events.

Community events and activities are supported by their local school districts with in-kind services whenever possible; bus transportation for summer youth programs, custodial support for meetings and events, etc.

But, each school district has a budget and carefully balances their fuel costs, turning the heat down at night and during vacation periods, and carefully monitoring their custodial and maintenance costs, as well as covering the costs of their mandated responsibility Ð public education.

NYS law regulates how tax payer financed public institutions may use their funds and facilities, and I am sure that you didnÕ t mean to encourage our local districts to violate our trust.

I hope that your editorial was intended as a journalistic Ò seedÓ to encourage all of us to make the most of our investments as tax payers in utilizing our school facilities to the best advantage, and I look forward to the next Valley News press release highlighting a Denton Publications sponsored concert, fundraiser, spelling bee, scrabble tournament, memoir writing club, etc.

Water temp clarification needed To the Editor: I enjoyed the Adirondack Outdoors article titled Ò Ice/cold water training in Bulwagga Bay,Ó but it does contain an error, where it states Ò ... cold water isothermic temperatures, which maintains the water at 39.2 degrees under the ice, ...Ó Water has a curious physical property that it is most dense at a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 degrees F). In lakes that are deep enough and where there are no disruptive currents, after ice forms the water becomes density stratified. Immediately beneath the ice, the water temperature is 32 degrees F, and the water becomes warmer at depth, reaching about 39.2 degrees F at around 40 feet, since the most dense water settles beneath the lighter, colder water.

In the spring, after ice-out and after a warm calm day, the surface water is warmed and becomes more dense and settles, setting up a convection cell that brings water and stinking stuff from the bottom of a lake to the top.

In the Adirondacks, we always called that the spring turn-over of a lake. I was a Special Scientist/Numbered Air Force Project Officer when on active duty in the USAF back in the late 1960’s and was in charge of a C-130 outfitted for remote sensing research. I had the airplane fly a night mission using thermal infrared imagery over the Adirondacks one May around 1969 or 1970. The flight coincided with the spring turn-over, and the imagery showed the convection cells clearly. The following winter I plumbed a number of the lakes and ponds and found that the convection cells only existed where there was at least 40 feet of water.

But the bottom line here is that immediately beneath the ice on a frozen lake, the water temperature is 32 degrees F and not 39.2 degrees.

Thermodynamics require this conclusion as well.

I

s Good Friday good? No doubt that question has never crossed your mind.

My mind? LetÕ s just say itÕ s different from most. You might even say itÕ s a bubble off plumb. But things that puzzle me, are often mundane to others. So be it.

Many of you know IÕ m the son of a preacher man. I was brought up attending church several times a week and was exposed to things theological from the time of my first breath. Rev. R u s s e l l Little and my mother, the late Alta Grace Little, were immersed in their faith and tasked

by Gordie Little with spreading the word.

They were good at it.

Little did they guess that their errant son Gordie would become Catholic when he married Kaye on May 4, 1974. The fact is, I am a much better Catholic than I was a Protestant.

Being a good person is, for me, far more important than any dogma coming down from a church pulpit.

Sunday is special to me. Kaye and I enjoy the feeling we get inside our church. It enables us to focus on the things for which we are grateful and to offer up our fervent prayers for those who are part of our intentions.

As a young lad sitting in the front pew of my dadÕ s church, drawing pictures of WW II airplanes in the fly leaf of a hymnal, I developed an almost genetic understanding of the scriptures. The Passion of Good Friday left a lifelong impression on me. Listening to my fatherÕ s bombastic voice with no electronic amplification, I was moved by his rendition of ChristÕ s words on the cross.

It was frightening to me, as I could see and hear with my mindÕ s eye, that His moment of death seemed so final. But, as I grew older, Good Friday moved into context and I knew that Easter with its figurative and hopefully, literal sunshine would soon be here. Was Good Friday good for Little Gordie Little?

Not at all, until I could grasp its true meaning and the promise of the resurrection and everlasting life.

For many years on the radio, we suspended normal programming on Good Friday afternoon and played appropriate somber music. Many area businesses closed for a time so shoppers and employees could attend church and note the import of the day.

If you expected me to offer the definitive word on why we call it Ò GoodÓ Friday,Ó you anticipated more than I can deliver. IÕ ve done the research, though, and can draw my own conclusions. Is it good because we believe that this time allows us to celebrate Easter as the culmination of perhaps the most crucial part of our beliefs? Is it because the word Ò goodÓ evolved from the word Ò God.Ó Or, could it have come from an earlier meaning of Ò holy?Ó It certainly is holy and, for me, is good because of its real meaning.

IÕ ll leave it for you to decide. Incidentally, some Biblical scholars argue that it was at 3 p.m. Wednesday, not Friday, when Jesus was crucified. They say he was in the tomb for three days and three nights, so the actual resurrection didnÕ t take place at sunrise on a Sunday. While the controversy continues, none of this taints my view of Holy Week culminating in Good Friday and Easter. It doesnÕ t matter to me whether the actual day of crucifixion was Wednesday or Friday. I’ll join others in the accepted Friday commemoration. I am just thrilled to believe in the miracle of Easter and all that it implies.

Excuse me while I close my eyes and recall my late fatherÕ s Good Friday reading of the scripture. For me it will be a holy Friday and a good Easter as well.

And please donÕ t ask me to tell you why we call the day before Good Friday, Maundy Thursday. Just take my word for the fact that is has something to do with the Last Supper in the Upper Room when Jesus said, Ò A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.Ó Words to live by.

Donations benefit SUNY Plattsburgh basketball, scholarship

By Natasha Courter

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Peter Gerney, Õ 83, and his wife, Amy, continued to show their support of SUNY Plattsburgh with two recent and very generous gifts.

The GerneyÕ s have been longtime supporters of the college, and with the last of their six children just about to finish college, the Pennsylvania couple is now in a position to increase their support to SUNY Plattsburgh.

Right before the holidays they decided to make two gifts, one to honor PeterÕ s parents and the other to recognize the menÕ s basketball team, according to a press release by SUNY Plattsburgh.

The GerneyÕ s have donated $2,500 to the menÕ s basketball team to be used as needed.

“I got a good education there, received finan-

cial support when I was there, and now IÕ m in a position to return the favor and I think we ought to,Ó said Gerney.

SUNY PlattsburghÕ s menÕ s basketball head coach Tom Curle is grateful for the donation and believes that the Gerney family continues to show their support to the school because the school, especially the menÕ s basketball team, maintains to show a positive experience students gain by attending SUNY Plattsburgh. Ò Generally you are going to give back to an organization that shares your values, ideals and goals,Ó said Curle.

The Gerney family has been following the menÕ s basketball team since back in November when they attended a game during a tournament at Lycoming College, near their home. At dinner after the game, the players invited Greg, Peter and Amy’s 21-year-old son to eat with them. It had a positive impact on Greg and his parents.

rincess is a sweet and shy adult cat that was surrendered, along with Sweet Pea, to Elmore SPCA to find a new home. They were surrendered because their ownerÕ s were caregivers for an elderly woman. When the woman was taken out of her home for care her owner could no longer provide the cats with care.

Princess is a shy cat who is used to a quiet house hold. Although she is very shy, and will probably hide for a bit when she is introduced to a new environment, she does enjoy being pet and engaging with people. She is getting used to interacting with new people more and more everyday and will be a great companion cat to someone who has some patience and time...

Princess is spayed and is now current on vaccinations and has tested negative for FeLV/FIV. Come in and meet this great cat who is ready to meet her new family. ***UPDATE***Princess is more and more social everyday!

It is a pleasure to see her engage and to enjoy getting pet and brushed. Come in and meet this shy cat who is looking for her forever home.

B

Ever since that night, the Gerney family couldnÕ t help but be impressed with the character of the team. Ò We are really impressed with Tom and his team. They came here where we live to play in a tournament and were incredibly kind and gracious to our son Gregory, who has Down syndrome, and adopted him in to the team,Ò said Gerney. Ò We were really pleased with that show of kindness, so it seemed like the right thing to do.Ó Ò There was a connection between him and the college that was enhanced by the relationship he developed with the menÕ s basketball program,Ó said Curle.

The funds given by the Gerney family will allow the team to travel, just like Gerney hoped.

The team plans on using the newly given funds for a trip to Miami, according to Curle.

Some players are not given this kind of opportu-

reanna is a wonderfully active and loving dog that was found running at large in the town of AuSable, New York. Bre loves to play, to run around and to please her people. When she first arrived she was unsure and seemed to be in a bit of pain. Although we couldnÕ t see anything wrong a blood test revealed that she was positive for Lyme. We have treated her with doxycycline and she immediately started engaging with staff and volunteers.

Breanna is a wonderful dog that learns very quickly and has lots of love to give. She would really be a wonderful addition to most homes. She loves to play with toys and would love to go hiking and camping with her new family. Come in and meet this gorgeous and outgoing girl! Bre is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heart worm, is spayed and is ready to meet her new family. ***UPDATE*** Bre is a very energetic dog that loves to jump and to play. She loves to run, run, run and would be an excellent running partner. It is obvious that she hasnÕ t had a lot of guidance, and she would benefit from an obedience class. She does want to please her people. It takes a few minutes for her to calm down when she meets people. After a bit of time she mellows and then she becomes a cuddle bug. She doesnÕ t like all other dogs and seems to like submissive males the best.

nity, and contributions like the one given by the Gerney family allows the players to go on these trips and have these experiences.

The Gerney family had also made a much larger gift to the college around Christmas time by donating $25,000 towards a scholarship in the name of his parents. Ò In addition he has established an Endowed scholarship fund that is named for and dedicated to his parents, the Albert J. and Margaret A. Gerney Endowed Scholarship FundÓ said Faith Long, director of development at SUNY Plattsburgh. Ò The endowment will always exist forever and award scholarships each year to a student.

Mr. Gerney has made a gift of $2,500 to fund the initial scholarship for the 2015 academic year.” Ò The great thing is, he knows we appreciate it,Ó said Curle. Ò We will continue to put a good team on the floor.”

Hornets, Eagles kick off baseball season with wins in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Plattsburgh 10, Jamestown 7 MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. Ñ Down seven after just an inning of play, the Hornets rallied off 10 straight runs for a big comeback win in Myrtle Beach March 31.

Plattsburgh, getting some non-league play in at the Mingo Bay Baseball Classic, worked its way back into the game with a fourrun second inning before taking the lead for good with six more in the sixth inning.

An Ethan Rascoe single sent Brady Pennington home for the go-ahead run, and from there the Hornets would score two more for the 10-7 victory.

Rascoe finished the game with two runs and an RBI while two

of Ryan WhalenÕ s three singles sent runners home.

Whalen also led the Hornets on the mound, allowing three hits and one run over seven innings to go along with three strikeouts.

Pennington had an RBI double for Plattsburgh, including the tieing RBI, while a sacrifice fly by Mike Stetz also led to a run.

Beekmantown 7, Newark 0 MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. Ñ Brantley Marion struck out nine batters to lead the Eagles in a 7-0 win over Newark in the Mingo Bay Baseball Classic March 30.

While Beekmantown held Newark scoreless, Ryan Criss led the offensive charge with three hits and two RBI.

Justin Stevens and Colden Mrak each picked up a pair of hits, including a double by Mrak.

Alex Price doubled for Beekmantown as well.

Marion is the lone returning pitcher this season for Beekmantown, and the junior seemed to show early on what heÕ ll be able to do from the mound this season.

After three innings of scoreless play, the Eagles took a 1-0 lead in the fourth. Two more runs followed in the sixth before four runners reached home for the final margin in the seventh inning.

Beekmantown had 12 hits overall while Newark managed two to go along with three errors.

Indie folk outfit ready one-off gig at Recovery Lounge

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com JAY Ñ Five years ago, Eleanor Kleiner and Elie Brangbour found themselves working an unlikely gig: Singing gondoliers at the Venetian, a luxury hotel in the former Portuguese colony of Macau.

The pair, who now record as the Whispering Tree, spent nine months singing traditional Italian folk songs Ñ ÒWh en the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie!Ó Ñ to swarms of tourists from Mainland China, mostly nouveau riche businessmen. ÒI t was a random weird thing that we did,Ó said Kleiner, who is now based in Dutchess County.

The clients would typically scan the list of fe-

male gondoliers, select one, and chatter for the duration of the performance. ÒI would actually hide under the bridges for a while and then motor onto the next one,Ó recalled Kleiner. ÒI t was just so seedy.Ó Following their stateside return, the pair used these and other experiences as inspiration for their debut release, Go Call The Captain, a record that was met with acclaim from a variety of indie tastemakers who deemed them as one of the most exciting new faces in New York CityÕ s indie folk scene.

With the Macau experience now firmly in the rearview, the Whispering TreesÕ sound is more mellow rock than buongiorno shlock, the type of music people listen to while cupping both hands around a tea cup on misty mornings.

They perform on Saturday, April 4 at the Recovery Lounge.

From page 1 Ò ThatÕ s our goal.Ó The Neagley & Chase Construction Company hopes to complete the building around May 1 and transform it into a Welcome Center, which will contain offices, showers, restrooms, a lounge area, laundry facilities and a front desk where people can register for their slips. Eventually they would like to incorporate bike or kayak rentals to include with the new marina. Ò This is designed around these non-trailerable sailboats that in order to get where theyÕ re going, they have to use water,Ó Peters explained. Ò ThereÕ s hundreds of those types of boats on the lake.Ó The City of Plattsburgh will be completing construction of a 34-slip/25-mooring marina at Dock Street Landing by mid-May when boats are expected to arrive. Installation will start when the ice melts.

While their follow-up EP is a lush affair that incorporates elements of folk, bluegrass and indie rock given flight by Kleiner’s soaring vocals, SaturdayÕ s performance will be a stripped down affair.

Kleiner admits that translating the bandÕ s lush studio sound down to the basics can often be challenging. ÒY ou just have to strip it down a lot,Ó she said.

The reception is often better than when she and Brangbour play with a full band, she noted. ÒI like to play venues where people listen more,Ó s he said. ÒM ore intimate.Ó Attendees at SaturdayÕ s gig should expect an introspective set laden with lots of vocal harmonies. ÒPeo ple can expect an intimate and engaging performance,Ó she said. ÒI hope people will walk away feeling moved in some way.Ó

The Whispering Tree will perform on Saturday, April 4 at the Recovery Lounge in Jay: $10 cover, show starts at 8 p.m. For more information, find them on Facebook.

Ò The only reasonable use of that waterfront we have in that specific location is a marina,” Peters said. “There just isn’t anything else we can do with that property.Ó The marina, besides a Welcome Center, will provide a pumpout service and Wi-Fi. Seasonal slips and moorings will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Rates are available on the City of Plattsburgh Recreation DepartmentÕ s website (www. plattsburghrecreation.com). Money generated from this operation will be put back into the community.

The marina, Peters claimed, will eventually become a revenue generator for the community, with the potential to generate approximately $1.2 million over 20 years in the neighborhood after bond payments and operating expenses.

Peters had two goals in mind when establishing the marina: economic development and revenue.

“That’s a very difficult thing for people who have grown up here all their lives to wrap their minds around,Ó Peters stated. Ò YouÕ ll always hear that sentiment of Ô why would anybody want to come here,Õ and when you really look around, theyÕ re some

very attractive resources that our region has from the Adirondacks to the lake.Ó The second reason is the revenue component that helps to offset tax dollars to help keep the tax rate down.

“A successful community will find other ways to generate revenue other than a tax levy,Ó Peters said. Ò Everyone knows that taxes are already high enough, so what we want to be able to do is find other ways to generate income so that we don’t have to raise taxes. Ò Someone might be upset if their tax dollars are going to this Ñ itÕ s not.Ó To keep updated about the marina, check out its Facebook page Ò Plattsburgh City MarinaÓ or visit www.plattsburghrecreation.com/#!marina/c15r4. Ò This whole project has been very ambitious, but all of our deadlines have lined up, and things are coming in on time, so weÕ re in a good position right now,Ó Peters said. Ò WeÕ re not doing this just because we want to; weÕ re doing this because itÕ s a really smart idea.Ó

accelerate the delivery of life-changing treatments and perhaps someday find a cure for the disease.

“It’s a great first season race,” Peters said, “and it’s one of those races that has become iconic for this region.Ó The Plattsburgh Half Marathon and Relay features two relay events, both of which run concurrent with the half marathon. In the two-person relay, two runners evenly split the half marathon 6.55 miles. Buses will shuttle runners to the half-way mark and back to the start/finish area. Ò You get to run in places that generally pedestrians arenÕ t really welcome,Ó Peters said. Ò It keeps you motivated throughout the winter months to run and train.Ó All runners must pick up their mandatory packet either Saturday, April 26 from 2 to 5 p.m. or the morning of the race from 6 to 7:30 a.m. Runners, spectators and volunteers can park at the Skyway Plaza.

During the race there will be mile markers, aid stations and on site medical services. Runners with strollers and pets are not

permitted. iPods and other music devices (headphones only; no speakers) are allowed.

Registration before April 18 (or earlier if capacity hits 1,000) costs $60 for the half marathon and $90 for the relay. The registration fee includes participant tech T-shirts, marathon timing by ChronoTrack Tag, food service, finisher’s medal, secure baggage check, post-race message, traffic control for three hours and postrace showers at the Recreation Department.

Besides a free drink and food specials for race participants at Olive RidleyÕ s at 2 p.m, the race bib distributed to each runner will give admittance into the after-party at the City Recreation Center immediately following the race. It will cost $5 for non runners and feature food, music, awards and a silent auction.

For more information on the race or registration, email plattsburghhalfmarathon@gmail.com. Ò ItÕ s a fantastic race for community pride,Ó Peters said. Ò WeÕ re happy to provide this, and itÕ s something we want to continue.Ó

Black smoke and orange flame PUEBLO COLORADO — Over 80 Fire fighters from both the United States and Canada trained for crude oil fires involving railroads at the Security and Emergency Response Training Center (SERTC) in Pueblo Colorado recently. Canadian Pacific Railroad sponsors and pays for the on-going training, to allow fire fighters to get hands on, real life training under simulated and safe, crude oil fire conditions.

The three day training starts with the history of some previous railroad accidents involving fires, such as the ones in Lac-Megantic, Quebec Canada, Aliceville Alabama and Casselton North Dakota. These accidents were reviewed and analyzed as educational tools to show what can happen. We all learn from mistakes.

The first day and a half of class room instruction involves the initial safety training. Personal protective equipment (PPE) including steel toe boots and leather gloves are required to be worn when in the field. During a fire training exercise, bunker gear and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) are required.

From fuel oil chemistry to fire suppression, safety involving each of the topics was highly stressed. Knowledge of fuel vapors and inhalation hazards with crude oil, such as hydrogen sulfide are critical skills.

Specific density and vapor pressure of fuels are taught because the oil can either float or sink in water, and vapors can rise or settle in the atmosphere. It makes a difference in how you handle the emergency.

Rail car design and construction was covered, involving the older general service heritage DOT-111 cars, and the newer updated CPC-1232 models. Improvements in car construction include larger pressure relief devices (PRD), thicker steel in head shields and protective structures around the PRDÕ S, vacuum relief valves and other fittings. Double shelf couplers, brake systems and other safety devices were also covered.

The use of Alcohol Resistant-Aqueous Film Forming Foam (ARAFFF) for extinguishment and vapor control are covered before any on site HOT ZONE training begins. Constant monitoring of the site is required for vapors and lower explosive limits (LEL).

Fire fighter safety is always stressed and is the number one priority at the training facility.

Once the class room training ends, hands on, in the wreckage field, live fire training begins.

The training site has dozens of railcars of all types strewn around in a simulated rail accident. Rail cars are piled on top of each other, twisted and breeched. Rail road cars, with all the hardware such as the wheels and springs and truck components called Òj ewelryÓ t o the railroad, are cast about the site.

Using a combination of propane and crude oil for accelerants, fires are initially set under exacting conditions, using out of service rail cars. Both pools of oil and propane streams are used as ignition sources. SERTC trained staff, man valves to shut off the flow of fuels, in the event of an emergency while training. The initial fires start with a small pool under a railroad car.

When fuel is burning, depending on if a valve is leaking or if an up-right car is ruptured during a railroad accident, adding water to the mix causes what is termed slop-over. The oil and boiling water cause a pool to overflow, like a cooking pot on a stove. The hot flaming slop over, runs over the ground spreading like a burning blanket, covering anything in its way. The fire can spread out of control under this condition. Black smoke and orange flames everywhere!

The burning fuel then heats the steel of the railroad car during this process and this causes the oil inside the car and vapors to expand, which then causes the pressure relief device to actuate.

Once activated, a vapor is released which then catches fire causing a 40 foot or more pressurized flame.

Fire fighters are taught the “if and when’s and how’s”, to approach the burning conflagration and the proper use of water and foam. Risk versus Benefit!

Water is used to cool the cars first. Cooling of the cars is taught, before any foam is applied. Alcohol Resistant- Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AR-AFFF) is used to suppress vapors. Once the cars are cooled, foam can then be applied by various methods to form a blanket, which is then pushed into the fire with hose lines.

While training, for one burning car, 20 gallons of foam where applied and five hose lines were used to extinguish the one very small rail car fire. Man power including cooling teams, foam application teams, foam dispensing teams, runners and command involved a 20 firefighter team for the training.

By Rich Redman In a real life situation, the safety of the surrounding area and people needs to be considered first! Following an incident action plan, notifications need to be made, evacuation zones, traffic control, water sources, foam needs, and protecting the perimeter of the fire area all need to be considered and priorities made. In the event of an actual large fire, hundreds of responders including fire fighters, medical staff, police and DEC staff would be on hand.

Dozens of large containers of foam, along with thousands upon thousands of gallons of water could be needed, depending on the size of the incident.

Crude oil fires may not get extinguished until many hours after the initial fire. It may be safer in the long run to ALLOW the fire to burn down a tactic called, NON-INTERVENTION. This decision is made when supplies of water, foam and man power are limited, or if the fire is so intense, knock down is not feasible and there is an immediate threat to life. Risk versus Benefit.

Environmental concerns may be reduced by allowing the fuel to burn. Adding water may cause the fuel to flow into wetlands or lakes and cause more damage and a costlier clean-up. Diking and damming to control and direct flows or contain runoff and crude oil or fuel flows may be utilized. Containment areas may need to be excavated to collect the fuel.

Every situation is different and the call will be made when it happens in conjunction with the railroad, fire coordinators and fire departments, HAZMAT, DEC environmental staff and state authorities if possible, following an incident action plan (IAP).

PRE ÐPL ANNING by Local Emergency Planning Committees is a priority to evaluate access, exposures, water supplies, evacuation routes, shelters, utilities, scene control, mutual aid, ambulances and hospitals. The towns, county and state need to meet and establish actions that will be taken in the event of an accident.

Both short term and long term needs must be met.

You canÕ t plan after it happens. That is chaos.

The bottom line is when a rail road car with 30,000 gallons of fuel is in an accident, the energy and mass of the cars piling up could cause a rupture. A breech will allow product to spill out.

It may just be a pool of oil, or it could be a catastrophic fire. Fire impingement on neighboring cars or exposures leads to the rapid spread and potential conflagration.

Fire fighters train for such an event, and local governments need to pre plan. Training, drills and exercises are required to keep emergency responders sharp. A failure to plan is a plan to fail!

If you are not trained properly, you become a liability!

This Canadian Pacific Railroad crude oil fire training involved fire fighters from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, the Iroquois Nation, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota and New York.

Local fire fighters attending the course included Frank Gilbo, Rob DeFelice and Phil Smith from the Port Henry fire Department and Jackie Grant, Brian Collupy and the author, representing the Essex County HAZMAT team. Fellow firefighters from Ballston Lake and Troy, NY were also there to learn.

It didnÕ t matter who you were or where you were from. We all worked as a team with the same goal; safety first, learn crude oil fire tactics and have some fun.

Pictured is the author, Rich Redman and Brian Collupy of the Essex County HAZMAT team at the Security and Emergency Response Training Center (SERTC) in Pueblo Colorado recently.

esearchers finally confirmed what most children already knew, which is the fact that outdoor recreation provides a variety of important benefits beyond the obvious fun and games.

According to recent national studies, outdoor play also positively affects a wide range of wellness dimensions including self image, nutritional, spiritual and intellectual health, enhanced social skills, self confidence and stress management opportunities.

While fun and games are certainly beneficial, it is also important to recognize the importance of playing safely in the outdoors, where weather conditions remain in a perpetual state of flux, and many other environmental factors are subject to rapid changes.

In the North Country, the danger of waterborne recreational activities are significantly amplified during the annual Spring thaw as ice is breaking up on the lakes and ponds, and rivers run high with snowmelt.

At such times, anglers must be extra cautious while wading, even in the most familiar surroundings. Stream banks and stream beds often change from one year to the next, to create log jams, Ô strainersÕ and deep holes.

ItÕ s wise to scout familiar rivers and streams from the banks before wading in. It is equally important to take frequent breaks and get out of the water to warm up.

Not only does cold water sap your strength, it affects balance, regardless of how sure-footed you may be.

When I am wading in the early days of the season, I always keep a thermos of hot coffee in my pack, and I stuff a few hand warmers in the toes of my waders.

Although the annual trout season opener arrived on April 1, it will likely be at least two or three weeks before thereÕ s any regular action on the local rivers and streams. It appears Ô ice outÕ will be similarly delayed on the lakes and ponds.

If you do feel a need to get out fishing, be sure to take all the proper precautions to protect yourself at all times. Even the strongest swimmers are at great risk in such cold, fast moving waters. On the rivers, be especially cautious around log jams and look out for undercut banks and loose rocks.

The best angling opportunities will be found at the base of rapids and waterfalls, or near the inlets and outlets of ponds and lakes.

Salmon, browns and lake trout will also be found around these areas, feasting on spawning smelt and suckers.

In an effort to amplify the safe angling message , it is interesting to note OSHA research indicates fishermen and fishing related activities have the highest risk of injury of all occupations with a rate of 127 fatalities per 100,000 workers.

Logging came in second with a rate of 104 fatalities per 100,000, while airplane pilots ranked third at 71 fatalities per 100,000 workers.

With such obvious opportunity for danger, itÕ s important to take the proper precautions and wear a PFD whenever you are on the water. Fish and have fun, but do it safely. When IÕ m on the water, I wear a lightweight, inflatable vest that fits comfortably under my jacket and inflates automatically when it gets wet. I wear eye protection as well, as polaroid sunglasses allow me to see underwater obstacles, and prevent getting a poke in the eye from hooks, branches or a wildly handled flyrod.

During the early season, when the danger of hypothermia and cold water drowning is amplified, all NY state boaters must wear a PFD. Seat cushions just donÕ t cut it, since the PFD must be strapped on.

While there is no evidence a PFD will prevent hypothermia, it does make recovery efforts more efficient and effective.

NYS Nav. Law Section 73-a.1. requires “anyone underway in a boat less than 21 feet in length anytime between Nov. 1 and May 1 must wear a securely fastened life jacket. This includes canoes, kayaks, rowboats and motorboats.Ó Every year, it appears there are fewer and fewer youngsters in the woods and on the local waters. However, the apparent lack of kids in the woods isnÕ t just a North Country phenomenon. ItÕ s actually a trend thatÕ s been recognized all across the country. In fact, it was the subject of a recent National Park Service survey and the evidence suggests visits to national parks have been on a downward slide for over a decade, while overnight stays have fallen by over 20 percent during the same timeframe, while tent camping and backcountry camping each decreased by nearly 24 percent.

Researchers believe the availability of electronic entertainment has a lot to do with the trend, as does an apparent lack of leisure time.

It seems a majority of Americans are just too darned busy to take a walk in the woods, and thatÕ s really too bad, especially for future generations who have traditionally been introduced to the outdoors by family members.

It is a well-known fact that no one is born an angler or a hunter.

However, we all possess the genetic propensity to function as hunter/gatherers, which may explain our desire to chase everything from butterflies to moose and brook trout.

Even though such activities appear to be part of our nature, they still need to be nurtured and refined over time.

Most often this task has been accomplished by a father, an Uncle or a close family friend, who also provides lessons on sporting ethics and outdoor etiquette, which are just as important as knowing how to cast a fly or shoot a gun.

Angling etiquette remains one of the most overlooked skills in the game, despite the fact it is one of the most significant aspects of the sport. Simply put, etiquette is a set of rules consisting of a respect for the woods and waters, the fish, fellow anglers and the law.

It includes a few simple ideals such as donÕ t crowd other anglers, and donÕ t drill them for information. It also requires anglers to respect private property, and congratulate fellow anglers on their catch.

It covers behaviors such as first come, first served, and the necessity of having respect for the fish, the game, and abiding by the law and environmental standards. Most of all, etiquette and ethics teach us the importance of doing the right thing even when nobodyÕ s watching, and to pass along your skills and knowledge to the next generation.
