SLACK-TASTIC
By Teah Dowling teah@denpubs.com
PLATTSBURGH — As the Plattsburgh City Marina nears completion, several business owners are wondering what this new addition will do for them and Plattsburgh itself. Ò I think the marina is going to do a very good job in bringing people to Plattsburgh,Ó said Colin Read, co-owner of the Champlain Wine Company and president of the Plattsburgh Downtown Association (PDA), Ò but itÕ s not clear.Ó ReadÕ s hopeful that, by the implementation of the new marina, it will attract more people to downtown Plattsburgh that wouldnÕ t normally spend time at the Plattsburgh Boat Basin.

Peru Fitness Room a reality PERU — Peru Elementary School has a new fitness room thanks to the generous donations of the Peru PTO, Stewarts, Peru Zumba, and the faculty and staff at the school. They would also like to recognize teacher Tracy Posada for her commitment and tireless work to make this happen for our students. The fitness room is conveniently located adjacent to the Upper Elementary gymnasium and houses a treadmill, elliptical, and stationary bicycle, along with weights and a flat screen TV for fitness videos. The students of Peru Elementary will benefit from the equipment during Physical Education classes, while transitioning from the injured list back to regular physical education classes, during OT/PT appointments, and during Fit Camp. The fitness room is another way to promote fitness within the school community, something Peru Elementary feels strongly about.

Accident survivor of texting, drunk driver to speak at PCS on May 12
PERU — Bailey Wind will be speaking to the Peru Jr/Sr High School student body Tuesday, May 12, at 9:30 a.m. Wind had just signed her letter of intent with the University of TennesseeÕ s Swimming and Diving team when on Dec. 1, 2012, at the age of 17 and a senior at Shaker High School in Latham, Wind was one of two survivors in a fatal highly published crash on the Northway. The SUV Wind was traveling in was hit from behind by a drunk, high, texting and speeding driver and skidded across three lanes of the Northway, flipped multiple times, crashing roof first into two trees in the median. Bailey was trapped for over two hours in a fetal-like position with a broken neck, broken jaw, knocked out teeth, bilateral pulmonary contusions, and bleeding on the brain. BaileyÕ s boyfriend and good friend, who were also traveling in the SUV with her, were killed on impact.
In May 2014, Bailey began speaking to area high schools as an advocate against drunk, impaired and distracted driving. She has since spoken voluntarily at twenty high schools at their request, as well as at the request of the NYS Police, Saratoga County Sheriff’s office, Cornell Cooperatives, and Choices301. Bailey received a community heroÕ s award for her advocacy efforts, appeared in the nationally syndicated show The Real Winning Edge and wrote a self published
Fishing For A Good Deal? Catch The Greatest Bargains In The Classifieds 1-518-873-6368 Ext. 201
book with local freelance writer Chris Graf entitled, “Save Me A Spot in Heaven,” as a loving tribute to her boyfriend. Bailey, now 19-years-old, recently finished her sophomore year as a communications major at the University of Tennessee and plans to continue to be an advocate to use her voice for all victims against such a preventable crime. She volunteers to tell her story and opes of making a positive difference that helps reduce injuries and ultimately saves lives.

The Burgh Editorial
Towns need to think smart with long-term planning
S
hared services. Two percent tax cap. Rebate check. These are the buzzwords that haunt governance in the North Country and shadow all other concepts. To combat renegade tax growth, the state has been requiring municipalities and school districts to keep spending increases under two percent per year. They must also demonstrate annual savings of at least 1 percent through shared services with their counterparts. District taxpayers than receive the difference in the form of a rebate check. All of this, according to the governor, will provide $1.5 billion in direct property tax relief over the next three years. Our local leaders have largely bemoaned these measures, and rightfully so, arguing that the landscape in the sparsely-populated Adirondack Park doesnÕ t exactly lend itself to more scrimping and saving because thereÕ s simply nothing left to cut. Municipalities have been sharing services for years, they say, none of which will be grandfathered in. Unfunded mandates and declining demographics present additional headaches, while other stressors include challenging terrain, the harsh climate and the sheer distance between towns. You can’t draw blood from a stone. The Adirondacks are a brutal place to live and local leaders are simply concerned about keeping the lights on. But this is now the new normal and we need progressive thinking to ensure sustainability. Here’s another buzzword: Consolidation. ItÕ s coming down the pipeline for both municipalities and school districts whether they choose to acknowledge it or not. ItÕ s already happening. Chances are that you drop off your trash at a dump jointly run by two towns. You might voice your code and animal control complaints to a roaming official. Your local ambulance squad may serve two communities. And perhaps your kids live in one town, go to school in another and compete in an athletic team based in a third. More examples abound, from shared administrative services governing payroll and benefits to transportation and fuel agreements. All of this was born from necessity. The next logical step, it seems, is for local officials to preemptively draft a long-term roadmap and invest in projects and infrastructure that will accommodate this new normal. Take town highway and public works departments, for example. Following these trends, we envision significant potential to tweak how theyÕ re structured.
Do a pair of towns along the same stretch of rural highway, for instance, each need a $200,000 road grader, or is that something that can be shared? What about sand and salt? Perhaps towns can enter joint purchasing agreements and store them in hubs located in strategic locations across several municipalities. Once you crack this nut, the opportunities for shaving away duplications in local government are endless Ñ especially in the sparsely populated towns across the North Country. Local governments have their marching orders. The state has given them until June 1 to submit a plan demonstrating proposed efficiencies. Tough decisions await. To complement their re-organizational planning, we encourage them to also consider the longterm infrastructure investments that may be necessary to accommodate this shifting landscape. There are several highway garages across the North Country that are in shambles — like the one in Westport, for instance. ItÕ s a pen stroke away from being condemned and town officials have raised concerns about safety issues and its ability to accommodate equipment. Furthermore, itÕ s an eyesore. As the town considers accepting a $500,000 grant to give the town hall a facelift that restores historical flourishes, a measure that would require $180,000 share from local taxpayers, we really have to question the wisdom of such an investment. We encourage the town to reject the grant and instead use the $180,000 as seed money on a garage replacement solution. Since itÕ s a straight shot to Essex, it may play a role in a future shared services plan, one that brings together personnel, vehicles and heavy equipment from numerous townships under one roof. Of course, this is just one example Ñ and a hypothetical one at that. More storms are brewing on the not-so-distant horizon on a road paved with tribal obstacles, like the situation facing the Elizabethtown Fire Department. If they opt to spend six figures on a new addition, then perhaps they should only do so if they indicate that they are genuinely open to the idea of exploring ways to work more efficiently with their counterpart in Lewis, which is just a click up Route 9. While the details may differ in each community, itÕ s clear that we will never return to the past in which each town existed in a neat bubble with their own unique identity. Our advice while navigating this landscape is to think big. And creatively. Because before long, the choice will no longer be ours.

Peru teen anglers making a splash on pro circuit By Andrew Johnstone
andrew@denpubs.com PERU Ñ Though still in their teens, local anglers Perry Marvin, Jr. and Alec Morrison have already put together decorated resumes in the world of competitive fishing. With the right support, the biggest catch may be yet to come. Last summer, the Peru teens made a splash in regional finishing competition, netting top catches in competition with the sportÕ s top up-andcomers. A year later, theyÕ re eying another go at the big stage. In the 2014 Student Angler Federation (SAF) State Championship in Clayton, the two combined to take 21.6 pounds of bass out of the St. Lawrence river, including a tournament-best 5.5 pound lunker by Morrison, to get them an invite to the SAF Northern Division Regional Tournament on the Nanticoke and Wicomico in Delaware in September. Along the way, Bobby Williams, president of The Bass Federation in New York State, arranged for the two to get out on the water with a professional angler to learn tidal water fishing, as well as what lures and line colors to use. The two didnÕ t advance beyond the regional, though it wasnÕ t the only highlight of the season. That same summer, Marvin fished in the Forrest Wood Cup — considered the Super Bowl of fishing tournaments and featuring state champi-
ons from around the country Ñ on Lake Murray in Columbia, S.C. There, he caught a seven pound, seven ounce bass on day one and another three ounces heavier the following day to claim top honors among 15-to-18 year olds. Not only did he net top catches, but also a $2,500 scholarship along the way. With summer approaching, Marvin and Morrison are eying tournaments in New York, New Hampshire and Alabama. For a pair of teens, raising the thousands of dollars needed for registration fees, hotel reservations, tackle and so on is no easy task. The High School Fishing World Finals on the Pickwick Reservoir in Florence, Ala., a seven-day event, has an estimated cost of over $3,000, while the Northern Conference Championship on Lake Winnipesaukee, N.H., totals over $4,000. On Saturday, May 16, MurphyÕ s Bar in Peru will host a fundraising for the teen anglers that will include food, live music, cash drawings, as well as silent and live auctions that include a fishing trip with Marvin or Morrison. The event will run from 3 to 9 p.m. with spaghetti dinner meal service between 4 and 7. The silent auction will go from 3 to 6:30 and the live on at 7:30. Music by Half Circle, Damaged Goods, Full Circle and Trifecta will play throughout. Contact Laurie Marvin at (518) 534-4878 for details.

Mother’s Day
C
an you remember the words to the old MotherÕ s Day song? IÕ m listening. Sing it to me. Ò M is for the million things she gave meÉ Ó Kaye and I tried it as I wrote this last Sunday. She gives me that quizzical look when I make these requests, but does her best to comply. We stumbled at a few of the lyrics, possibly learned wrong as kids. The last line should be, Ò Put them all together, they spell Mother, a word that means the world to me.Ó What you might not recall is that H o w a r d Johnson (not THAT one) penned it in 1915. Some sources refer to another song he wrote as being more by Gordie Little famous. Perhaps you remember Ò I scream, you scream we all scream for ice cream.Ó Being of Irish descent on my fatherÕ s side, I favor another of his Tin Pan Alley hits, “Ireland Must be Heaven for my Mother Came from There.Ó As we prepare to celebrate our moms this weekend, we should reflect on their importance in our lives from birth forward. Kaye and I choose not to dwell on negative things, but events of recent months deserve mention. A big part of what has happened in our house and so many others recently is generically called the “stomach flu.” We’re rarely sick here. We just donÕ t have time for that. However, the flu bug nailed us this spring and put us both right down to the mat for a while. While we were in a weakened condition, all of KayeÕ s children that live locally pitched in to bring us food and offered assistance in so many ways. Some travelled across country to be with her and allÑ whether they made it here or notÑ embraced her with their love. I wonÕ t embarrass them by mentioning their names here, but they know who they are. Daily, they appeared, to clean the floors, make the bed, bring goulash and healthy soups and sandwiches and much more. When Kaye heard I was writing this MotherÕ s Day piece, she insisted that I acknowledge all of her offspring along with many friends who offered their support. All of them are humble enough to shun the limelight on this topic, but I can assure you that, if they are honest, they would say in unison that they are just repaying their wonderful mother who made untold sacrifices to raise them. When I tell people that Kaye had twelve babies, all by natural childbirth, they are understandably astounded. Then to bring me into her fold with my two boys forty-one years ago on May 4th, should earn her another good conduct medal. There have been times over the past few weeks and months that I wasnÕ t certain we would survive to celebrate this anniversary, but when her children came to sit by her sick bed, she looked all of them in the eye and said in a tiny voice, “You’re not gonna get rid of me yet.Ó And she was right. Here we sit in full recovery mode with apologies for not being our usual sociable selves for a while. WeÕ re grateful for every minute and every new day. Yes, we often speak about our own mothers and IÕ ve written about mine in local publications. My mom was Alta Grace Requa Little, born in 1901. KayeÕ s was Leona Trudo Vaughan, born in 1900. I donÕ t think they ever met each other, but Kaye and I agree that their conversation would have been most interesting. Sadly, all four of our parents left this earth within a short span of time, one from the other. While you are choosing cards and flowers for your mothers on Sunday, we urge you tell them face-to-face what they mean to you. If they live far away, a phone call would be good; or, if they are gone, a little prayer of gratitude would be terrific. I hung the hummingbird feeder outside our back deck last week. Kaye reminded me that our first ruby-throated visitor appeared on MotherÕ s Day last year. WouldnÕ t it be nice if that happened again?

Marina
From page 1 The new marina will offer 34 dock slips and 25 moorings. Jack Lorry, owner of DelÕ s Subs, believes this added marina will bring in more money for Plattsburgh. Ò It might take a few years for that to happen,Ó Lorry said. Ò But if the city thinks they can turn a profit on it and get some revenue from it, I donÕ t see why itÕ s a bad thing. “If they stick with it and do things right, it should profit everyone in the long run.Ó Steve Peters, superintendent of recreation for the City of Plattsburgh, claimed the new marina will eventually become a new revenue generator for the community, with the potential to generate approximately $1.2 million over 20 years after bond payments and operating expenses. Business owners also like how the new marina is within walking distance of many downtown businesses. “They’re not all going to want to go to the Naked Turtle,” said Joe Kovacs, owner of Smooth Moves and member of PDA and First Weekends. Ò TheyÕ re going to want to explore downtown.Ó The marina, located at 2 Dock St., is a half mile, approximately 10 minute walk, from the downtown area. If biking, it’s just five minutes away. Though itÕ s a quick walk or bike ride to downtown, businesses have a few concerns with the marina, such as how long boaters will stay, how theyÕ ll know about what businesses are downtown and how they’ll find them. Read believes that signs should be placed from the marina to downtown so that people can find their way easier. He also believes the marina should give out information to all its boaters about whatÕ s downtown, like what 30 City Downtown and the

Visitors Center do now. Sharing space with the Champlain Wine Company, 30 City acts as a welcome center for visitors offering a variety of free community events and various informational brochures on whatÕ s in the area. Though thereÕ s plenty to offer in the downtown area, another concern arises: Staying open on Sundays. Ò Boating is a huge thing on our lake in the summer,Ó said Julie Woodley, owner of DressCode. Ò I think it will be awesome for downtown and itÕ s going to bring me more business, but we have to start staying open on Sundays.Ó PDA created the event Destination Downtown, which will be happening May 17, as a way to get more businesses up and running on a Sunday, since many of them arenÕ t. DressCode, along with the Champlain Wine Company and Smooth Moves, are some of the few downtown Plattsburgh businesses open on Sunday. Woodley, who gets a good amount of business on Sundays from the marina (especially in the summer months), believes more businesses should be open for community members and visitors, especially with the implementation of the new marina.

History Benefit Auction
On the river ... again
L
ast weekend, I loaded up the canoe and traveled over the hill to Elizabethtown. IÕ ve made the same journey every spring, for over 25 years. It provides me with an opportunity to paddle upper sections of the Boquet River, and a chance to revisit the haunts of my youth. Although the same old routine has occassionally become routine; the river always seems to present something new. I usually set off from New Russia, and pull out near the Elizabethtown Firehouse. I stash a bicycle at the take out, for the return trip. The float trip only takes about a half a day. But after peddling all the way to New Russia to retrieve my car, and returning to cartop the canoe, itÕ s often a struggle to stay awake during the drive home. While I brought along my flyrod again this year, it was strictly due to habit. I havenÕ t seen or caught a trout on the upper Boquet in many years. The river is, for all intents and purposes, as sterile as a fresh BandAid. Nada’ trout, nor a minnow, a sculpin or even a sucker, zip! There were a few turtles sunning along the river banks, and plenty of animal tracks evident on the sandy banks, but I doubt they had chased away the trout. It wasnÕ t due to the weather, which was fair and sunny, and there wasn’t any hard running, heavy flushing, spring melt either. In fact, the water levels were actually quite low, which forced me to drag the canoe out, over, under and around more than a dozen log jams that continue to plug up the main flow. I saw plenty of wildlife, ranging from blue heron to turtles, and gulls to merganzers. There were also lots of tracks including deer, beaver, muskrat and coyote. I didnÕ t see a single human track along the entire journey. Nobody was wading or swimming, and there was no sign of other paddlers, unless they had carried their canoes the long way around all of the log jams. Back in the late 1970Õ s, when trout we abundant, every one of those logjams would have sheltered a large school of fish. Today, there arenÕ t even minnows seeking shelter. IÕ ve spoken to DEC about the problem, and with the well meaning and knowledgeable folks at the Boquet River Association, but nobody seems to have any answers. The gentle flowing, clear, clean waters of the Boquet were the natural playground of my youth, and while trout werenÕ t always abundant, it seemed there were always enough to go around, especially if an angler was willing to wander off for a bit.
I canÕ t really say the trout in those days were any larger than the few relics I still find in a deep pool on occasion; but there were enough of them to go around, and with the obvious lack of angling pressure now-a-days, there should be plenty of trout. Although my annual canoe foray hasnÕ t provided a single finned suspect in years, I still manage to take a few fish at the base of waterfalls and in sections of rapids on the lower river. I also find wild, little native brookies in a few of the Boquet’s tributaries, and there are still wild finglerings to be found in the riverÕ s upper reaches. But itÕ s no longer the same, and thatÕ s a real shame.
Adirondack History Museum
Although IÕ ve witnessed many changes in my small town since my younger days, it is always nice to discover a few things that actually stay the same. The Adirondack History Museum in Elizabethtown ranks at the top of my list in this category. In fact, it seems to get better with age. Although it has been spruced up in recent years, with new exhibits, lectures and an influx of great ideas, the museum building remains in command of the town hill, as it has for decades. It may be small, but it is our museum, and it continues to collect, protect and honor our local history. I make a point to visit the museum every year, and thereÕ s always something new. One of the true highlights of the summer season is the Annual Antique & Classic Car Show that will return to the Museum grounds on Saturday June 13, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission to the show is free, and the event continues to draw collectors and car enthusiasts from all across the North Country who come to admire the beautifully restored vehicles. Muscle cars from the 1960Õ s and 70Õ s, which are now considered antiques, are on display wheel to wheel with vintage roadsters, hot rods, and other classic rides. If a 1972 Barracuda is considered an antique, what do you call a teenager that used to drive it to high school? The vintage vehicles will be on exhibit at the Museum Grounds, off Hand Ave. in Elizabethtown, NY. Car fee registration is $10 in advance or $15 the day of the event. Exhibitors can register with the Adirondack History Museum at echs@adkhistorycenter.org or (518) 873-6466 As usual, DaCy Meadow Farm will be on site with a Farm Fresh Picnic & Barbecue. Ice cream, beer and wine will also be available, and raffle tickets as well.
While waiting for the car show to return to town, history buffs and museum advocates have the opportunity to contribute to a good cause by bidding on a wide selection of Adirondack offerings available at an online auction. The auction, which began on May 1 and concludes on May 10 seeks to raise funds to support the Adirondack History Center MuseumÕ s collections, exhibits, education, and outreach programs. Auction items include golf at the Ausable Club, original art and prints from local artists, camp tuition at Camp PokO-MacCready, lodging packages, gift certificates to local stores, concert venues, and restaurants, and more. The auction can be found online. Support your own local history at www.biddingforgood.com/ADKHistoryMuseum. For further information, please contact the museum directly at 518873-6466, or via email to director@adkhistorycenter.org. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.
Classic cars from the 1940’s amd 50’s will mix with muscle cars from the 60’s and 70’s when the Annual Antique & Classic Car Show returns to the Adirondack History Museum in Elizabethtown on Saturday June 13, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
