Rededication of bridge to honor local vets

PLATTSBURGH Ñ This week marks the 70th anniversary of the victory of Allied forces in Europe over Nazi Germany. Closer to home, North Country Honor Flight will be taking to the skies again this Saturday, May 16, to bring a contingent of some of the veterans who brought that victory about to their memorials in Washington, D.C. This week’s flight will consist of 14 veterans, seven from World War II and seven from the Korean War. Each veteran will be accompanied on the flight by a guardian who will oversee their needs throughout the lengthy day trip.

“The biggest problem we’ve faced has been finding World War II vets. Their numbers are becoming fewer and fewer, and itÕ s getting harder to find them,” said Honor Flight director George King.

That sentiment was echoed by Barrie Finnegan, Honor FlightÕ s director of operations. Ò We know theyÕ re out there, we just have to beat the bushes to get ‘em. We know they’re still here.”

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Champlain Valley Morgan Horse Association (CVMHA) Open Horse Show will take place May 23 and 24 at the Clinton County Fairgrounds at 8 a.m.

Classes include showing, clinics, pleasure,

western, dressage, hunters, eventing, competitive trail, marathons and fitting and showmanship. Ò The overall purpose of this show is enjoyment; it’s fun to watch,” said Karen Lassell, president of CVMHA. Ò ItÕ s also a really good family event.”

Money made from this event will support CVMHAÕ s clinics and its scholarships.

The scholarships are given out to high school seniors accepted into an accredited two- or four-year college, pursuing an equine or agricultural field of study.

Money will be awarded upon receipt of proof of student matriculation and academic perfor-

mance. Financial need will be considered to students who show a love of horses just as much as CVMHA does.

The nonprofit organization was founded in 1986 by a group of Morgan horse lovers. Lassell said its love expanded to people of all walks of life who love different breeds of horses.

“Horses are beautiful,” Lassell said. “There’s just a lot of great things about being involved with horses and the horse community.”

City of Plattsburgh to rededicate Bridge Street Bridge Ceremony to honor vets with new plaque, speakers, flags and salute

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Years ago, brave men kept British soldiers out of Plattsburgh by wit and planks from the original Bridge Street Bridge.

The City of Plattsburgh will host the VeteransÕ Bridge Dedication Ceremony May 23 at 11 a.m., dedicating the Bridge Street Bridge in honor of veterans.

The dedication consists of local vets walking across the bridge, an honor ceremony with flags, a 21 gun salute, guest speakers such as Mayor James Calnon and a plaque unveiling.

“What we have planned is nice and short,” City Councilor Paul OÕ Connell said. Ò We just want to have a good ceremony for our veterans.”

WAR OF 1812 During the war of 1812, the famous Plattsburgh Aiken Volunteers defended the original bridge led by Captain Martin James Aiken.

Aiken, born in 1791 and a resident of Willsboro, belonged to the Essex County Militia 40th Brigade and later served as Essex County district attorney. In 1814, knowing the War of 1812 wasnÕ t going well for the United States, he took action.

Aiken, at the age of 21, stepped forward and formed AikenÕ s Volunteer Rifle Company with 20 young men.

In September 1814, Aiken and his volunteers fought alongside a local militia. But they were beaten back by the British on Beekmantown Road. Later that afternoon, Aiken ordered his men to fall back and defend the Bridge Street Bridge the British wanted to cross.

After the volunteers took their positions in a mill on the east side of Saranac River, Aiken took the planks up from the bridge to keep the British from crossing. When the British attempted to cross, Aiken and his men picked them off one by one.

The British lost the battle and left Sept. 11, 1814. Aiken’s volunteers were disbanded the next day. On May 20, 1826, Congress

rewarded the men with rifles and a lifetime of remembrance.

“That’s what it’s all about - the veterans,” O’Connell said. “If it wasn’t for them, our country wouldn’t be where it is right now.”

des@cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov.

“People should get out,” O’Connell said. “It’s going to be a very special event.”

NEW BRIDGE Plattsburgh replaced the old iron bridge with a new structure composed of a stone arch span 150 feet long and 54 built wide built with Cadyville sandstone and reinforced concrete.

Construction, contracted by J. J. Fitzpatrick & Sons of Plattsburgh for almost $80,000, began Sept. 2, 1930 and ended just before the dedication ceremony.

The new bridge was dedicated Nov. 11, 1930. The dedication ceremony had a huge parade, consisting of city police, bands, Spanish war veterans, boy scouts and girl scouts.

During this ceremony, more than 5,000 people attended. ÒN ow, 85 years later, we’re dedicating the bridge again to veterans,” said Sandra Geddes, promotions and special events coordinator for the City of Plattsburgh. ÒW e anticipate having a really good presence from our local veterans to dedicate this bridge.”

Destination Downtown on tap this weekend in Plattsburgh

PLATTSBURGH Ñ A variety of music and interesting shopping opportunities are coming to downtown Plattsburgh. The Plattsburgh Downtown Association is working with the City of Plattsburgh to celebrate its first annual Destination Downtown event in historic downtown Plattsburgh on Sunday, May 17.

Plattsburgh Downtown Association co-president Colin Read noted Ò The combination of history, access to the river and lake, a new Saranac River Walk, a tree house, bike trails, a new marina, and the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail have all attracted a growing number of visitors to the downtown core of the City of Plattsburgh. Downtown merchants, through the Plattsburgh Downtown Association, realize that visitors want to enjoy Plattsburgh every day, but especially on Saturdays and Sundays. The PDA is determined to encourage more shop owners to make the sound long term decision to open Sundays during the summer so that we can create a new culture of Sunday tourism for Plattsburgh. This first annual Destination Downtown event is our effort to raise awareness about the possibilities over the entire weekend in the City.”

The Downtown Association recognizes that, as the City invests in attracting tourists, close cooperation between businesses and government is essential for its success. Neither businesses nor government act independently of each other, and our acknowledgment of such private-public partnerships will help ensure that such investments as a new downtown marina, an attractive historic trail, and more events each year will be successful in attracting residents and tourists alike to the unique offerings in the downtown core. The City of Plattsburgh recently hired Sandra Geddes to help organize events in the City each year. ”Destination Downtown is a cooperative effort to kick off summer events in downtown Plattsburgh. A number of businesses are participating on Sunday, May 17, to coincide with

the long Patriots Day weekend in Quebec and Victoria Day in Ontario. More than 30 businesses are participating this inaugural year,” Geddes said.

Jennifer Boyer, of Warren Tire, came up with the theme for this year Õ s inaugural event. She said, Ò Each business will display a yellow balloon to let you know they are open for Sunday business. There will also be a passport and map indicating participating businesses. Those who visit the most businesses will be entered into a raffle for free grand prizes donated by downtown businesses.”

These businesses include the Adirondack Coast Oil and Vinegar Company, Antique and Variety Mall, Archer Bodyworks, AshleyÕ s Furniture, A Beautiful Mess, Blue Collar Bistro, Bridge Street Auction, Cache Elegant, Chameleon, Champlain Wine Company, Cornerstone Bookstore, Delish, Dress Code, Furniture and DŽ cor, Glens Falls National Bank, Greater Adirondack Ghost & Tour Company, Grizzles Gift and Swap, LoremanÕ s, Mid Century Mad Vintage Variety, The Music Shop, Olive RidleyÕ s, PeabodyÕ s, Plattsburgh YMCA, Rescued Treasures, Smooth Moves, StoneworkÕ s Massage and Skincare, The Pepper, The Strand Center for the Arts, 20 Below Deli, Under One Roof, and Warren Tire. StoneworkÕ s will also be distribute free coupons on behalf of Living Well Chiropractic.

More and more businesses are signing up every day. For the most current list, please consult the Plattsburgh Downtown Association Facebook page at www.facebook.com/plattsburghdowntown In addition to the discounts and free items offered at these various shops, there will also be a number of entertainment events throughout the afternoon at various downtown loca-

tions. From 2-5 p.m., the rapper The Great Peso, and other folk and blues players will be performing in Trinity Park, sponsored by Community Bank and the Champlain Wine Company. 99.9 the Buzz is going to be doing a live radio broadcast with music sponsored by Warren Tire on the corner of Broad and Margaret Streets. Mike Castine will be DJing there from 1pm to 4pm. Peabody’s will be hosting the music of Giovanni Bucci on Clinton Street from 1- 4p.m.

Finally, the Strand Theater will be offering two free showings of the movie Mary Poppins in their beautifully restored and digital movie equipped theater, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., courtesy of Archer Bodyworks.

You can pick up and drop off a Destination Downtown Passport and program at the 30City Community and Visitor Õ s Center at 30 City Hall Place or Warren Tire at 13 Broad Street.

Those who fill out their passport will be included in a free drawing of a number of prized donated by local businesses.

The mission of the Plattsburgh Downtown Association is to draw residents and visitors to PlattsburghÕ s historic downtown. The PDA meets at 7:30 a.m. on the fourth Monday of each month at the 30City Community and Visitor Õ s Center at 30 City Hall Place. Its next meeting will be on May 18 this month because of the May 25 Memorial Day holiday.

The Burgh Editorial

We’ve botched our beach bods. But it’s not too late

I

tÕ s here.

Summer, the golden season when the mountains, lakes and roadways glow with adventure.

The Adirondacks is unparalleled when it comes to opportunities for outdoor recreation.

We’ve got it all, it’s a fitness paradise.

But what about those of us who use the winter as a cover to maintain our unhealthy lifestyles?

Too cold. Not enough sunlight. Just because.

Meh. The equivalent of Mother Nature going from zero to 60 in three seconds has been maddening.

Where did all of these toned, lycra-clad people come from?

We see them around the neighborhood running, biking and hiking here and there (from the vantage points of our vehicles, of course).

ItÕ s depressing.

We no longer have a valid excuse for our lethargy.

The sunÕ s out.

Look at them, the healthy ones.

Boo! Seeing all of these toned, sleek physiques is intimidating, especially when we gaze at our doughy visages in the rearview mirror after pulling out of the gas station parking lot following another dietary lapse in judgement.

We will never be those people Ñ the ones who ride bicycles on the Cascade Road or those who take long canoeing trips, or the folks who can been seen disappearing into the firs with large packs on a Friday afternoon.

Last fall, we bought one of those pocket guides Ñ 9 Easy Hikes or something like that.

The goal was to do all of those, transition to snowshoeing in the winter before emerging this time of year as someone who was moderately fit… or at least able to get dressed without running the risk of a hernia.

That, of course, didnÕ t happen Ñ The pocket guide took its place on the shelf between 101 Fresh Recipes and 88 Ways to Simplify Your Work Life.

April brought the realization that little time remained to shave off that fat; May, the grim concession that we will never be those people, the healthy ones.

The early summer hit us like a two-by-four right between the eyes.

We feel like weÕ re not alone in our thinking: Sixty-four percent of Essex County residents are overweight, while 37 percent are obese Ñ thatÕ s the fourth-highest rate in the state.

Franklin clocks in at 33.4 percent; Clinton, 26.8 percent; Warren, 30.5 percent and Hamilton, 25.9 percent.

While we donÕ t see ourselves participating in IronMan anytime soon, weÕ d like to share three simple changes that we plan on incorporating into our daily schedules this summer without much effort.

We encourage you to do the same.

Walk more. Walking ranks so low on the fitness totem pole, it should be a crime to not to work a postprandial stroll into our daily schedules. People do it all the time. But we donÕ t, opting instead to drive our flabby frames over even the smallest of distances. Public health officials in Essex County have made it really easy for us to reverse this through Creating Healthy Places, a five-year project designed to, well, create healthy places in our communities. In Elizabethtown, for instance, this comes in the form of a pleasant stroll through both the forest and town, a circuit that remains popular lunchtime activity for workers. Each town in Essex County has a project designed to spur physical fitness.

Find yours and join them.

Eat healthier. Buy local produce, yeah, we get it. But it bears repeating that simply removing processed foods from your diet will lead to weight loss. Easier said than done, we know, especially when money is tight. But efforts are underway at the state level to make it easier for vendors at farmers markets to accept SNAP benefits and maybe even WIC coupons, measures designed to foster nutritional literacy and improve access. If youÕ re light on dough, itÕ s good to know that access to fresh, local food isnÕ t just for the elite. And for those of us who use busy schedules as an excuse for not eating well, an increasing number of farmers are working with businesses to provide workplace CSAs, a purchasing arrangement that sees fresh goods dropped off right at your workplace.

Volunteer. One of the neater aspects of life in North Country is the volunteerism, which, while is chiefly due to necessity, also contains deep streaks of altruism. People here are a friendly bunch and if you donÕ t see yourself walking more, or eating better, perhaps forcing yourself to get out and move around by helping others might lead to weight loss by default.

There is no shortage of opportunities out there, from firefighting to emergency services or fraternal organizations who could all use your help, even if only for an errant weekend picking up trash or manning the grill at a fundraiser.

So while most us will likely never join the ranks of the uber-fit, perhaps we can at least hold our heads high the next time a clump of cyclists glide by… or even honk, not as a sign of passive-aggressive frustration, but rather as one of solidarity.

Publisher’s Column

Are we prepared for what lies ahead?

W

eÕ ve watched the threats continually increase over the years. This nation and others have watched as embers of terrorism surface quickly and then fade into memory, almost as quickly as they appeared.

The concept of living with terrorism is one weÕ ve had to accept, but are we now on the verge of seeing more isolated attacks from within?

Last week top U.S. officials and lawmakers intensified concerns about the growing threat of jihad-inspired terror Dan Alexander attacks against the United States, after the recent thwarted Thoughts from attempt in Texas and the dire FBI warning that followed.

Behind the Pressline Ò I think thereÕ s been an uptick in the stream of threats out there,” Texas GOP Rep. Mike McCaul, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, told “Fox News Sunday.” “We’re seeing these directives on almost a daily basis. It’s very concerning. Terrorism has gone viral.”

McCaulÕ s comments follow the May 3 attack by two gunmen outside a Ò Draw Muhammad” event in Garland, Texas.

Tweets by one of the two gunmen, killed by police in the attack, appear to link him to radical Islamic terror groups. Internet chatter purportedly tipped off officials about a possible attack on the event organized in such a fashion to nearly ensure some form of violent protest if not exactly what happened.

FBI Director James Comey said the attack highlights the difficulties the FBI faces, as social media serves to facilitate communication between terror groups and potential homegrown extremists sympathetic to the movement.

He also warned that the Islamic State terror group has thousands of English-language followers on Twitter, including many here in our midst in the U.S. The group also is increasingly steering followers into forums that allow for encrypted communications that can be harder for law enforcement officials to access. Ò The siren song sits in the pockets, on the mobile phones, of the people who are ISIS followers on Twitter,” Comey went on to say. “It’s almost as if there’s a devil sitting on the shoulder, saying ‘Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill,’ all day long.”

As time moves on the nationÕ s law enforcement agencies are in the position of finding a needle in a haystack and from all weÕ ve come to understand it may only be a matter of time before this reaches a level commensurate with what weÕ ve been warned, now that the terror threat is one of the highest weÕ ve seen.

If we do in fact find ourselves in a new environment and the likelihood of these attacks are imminent, what options or steps can be taken to safeguard those dear to us?

Are these potential attacks something to fear or are we just at a point where the likelihood is just one of lifeÕ s inconveniences that we accept as everyday life? As odd as that sounds unless we take steps to resolve these issues, we have no other choice but to accept them in our midst; crazy radicals who will pop up from time to time, seeking to destroy innocent life.

General George Marshall said it best after the end of World War II: Ò The only way human beings can win a war is to prevent it.” As a nation we must find new ways to demonstrate leadership and sufficient resolve to keep the lid on an ever growing tumultuous world. We must find solutions to deal with these events should an outbreak find its way onto our soil.

Radical jihadists must be seen as a deadly disease that must be wiped out and the sooner the better.

Bluff Point From page 1

The golf resort plans to bring back an old time favorite golf game: Clock Golf.

It started as an idea by an English upper class person who wanted to enjoy the growing sensation in a more intimate and less strenuous way.

The green is built as a clock face with 12 starting points Ñ one for each hour of the day. The hole is placed randomly in the clock face so that the distance to the hole from any of the 12 tees are all different.

The golf resort plans to recreate this in the weeks to come.

Sometime in July, the golf resort hopes to put on a golf commemoration tournament, showcasing its new interpretive panels that Dame hopes will be put up in the next month or so. There will be a panel placed at each hole featuring old photos and information.

Lastly, the resort is looking to add a couple historical markers to the golf course: one to locate the McKinley monument and another to highlight and remember the Hotel Champlain Golf Course.

HOTEL CHAMPLAIN Considered one of the greatest and grandest summer resorts in America, this 500-room Victorian-style hotel was built by the Delaware & Hudson Railroad Company on Bluff Point in 1890.

The main section of the hotel was five stories high with three towers, with the center one rising over 125 feet from the matriculated lawns below. The property included a white sand beach with a boathouse and boardwalk as well as a large steam boat dock in which steamers such as “The Ticonderoga,” “The Vermont” and the “Chateauguay” would drop off guests to the hotel.

By 1897, people would come from all over the country to experience one of the finest summer resorts, including notable guests the Astors, the Vanderbilts and presidents such as McKinley, who used the hotel as his “summer White House” in 1897 and 1899.

“It was a different time back then,” Dame said. “People would come and stay for a week, month or a whole summer.”

At the height of its glory, the hotel burned to the ground May 25, 1910.

It was rebuilt in 1911 and continued to be a hotel until 1951. But while the hotel opened and closed, the golf course always stayed open.

GOLF COURSE The golf course was the third to be constructed in America and the first resort golf course.

The course, which opened in 1916, was designed by renowned golf course architect A.W. Tillinghaust, whoÕ s known for his designs at Winged Foot, Baltusrol, Bethpage Black and Aronimink, some of the most prominent designs in the sport.

TillinghaustÕ s design features can be seen throughout the course with severe, well-bunkered sloping greens that offer views of Lake Champlain,

The Burgh • May 16, 2015 | 5

The Hotel Champlain, 1904 the Green Mountains and the Adirondacks.

“It’s been open ever since,” Dame said. “There’s obviously been some changes and improvements over the years, but the general layout still remains the same.”

Many famous people played on the golf course, including professional golfers Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen and Joe Kirkwood. Baseball professional Babe Ruth also enjoyed the sport, along with presidents Teddy Roosevelt, William Taft and William McKinley.

McKinley would go down to green drive, which connects to the golf course, not to play golf, but to read and watch golfers play underneath a pine tree whenever he could until the summer they both perished in 1901. Ò What are the odds the tree he used to love to sit under was struck by lightning the summer he was struck down and killed by an assassinÕ s bullet,” said Steven Frederick, vice president of institutional advancement at Clinton Community College, in a previous interview. Ò All the pine trees that are there today are the seedlings that came up as a result of that big tree being hit over 100 years ago.”

McKinleyÕ s pine tree seedlings still stand today near the golf course he many times enjoyed during his stay at what once was Hotel Champlain.

Today, though Hotel Champlain became Clinton Community College, Bluff Point Golf Resort carries on the tradition of providing guests with not only a great round of golf, but a unique place to stay, as well.

“The hotel and the course put this area on the map,” Dame said. “It’s great to have that history of all those people who have come up here and hopefully one day we’ll get some of them back.”

Walk the walk

I

f you talk the talk, you must walk the walk. All of us know exercise is essential for good health. ThereÕ s an old joke: I had a good workout this morning; completed fifteen pushups…with my eyelids. That’s not what youÕ d call a full-body routine.

So, after a winter and early spring of relative lethargy, itÕ s time to get a move on. Oh, yes, IÕ ll be spading up our Little crop strip here and mowing the lawn, but thatÕ s not nearly enough. So, hereÕ s the plan.

Getting outside and walking two miles a day will be my goal. The day I wrote this began with showers. It wasnÕ t a good excuse for

by Gordie Little remaining here in my recliner; so I got my butt in gear and trudged up the street. Of course it precipitated a nap.

Those are important as well.

Hey, itÕ s a start. The gawdawful stomach flu struck our house earlier. Perhaps you felt its nasty effects where you live and work.

Enough already. Time to turn the page and look forward to the next chapter of good health. IÕ m an eternal optimist and (almost) never admit having a bad day. Nearly 36 years on the radio without staying home due to sickness.

While working as a Crime Victims Advocate for eight years after radio, I was assailed by a terrible flu bug once and took half a sick day. It was either going home or expiring at my desk. Since then, getting the flu shots every fall did the trickÑ until the spring of 2015. The experts failed to predict the strain of flu that would sweep the country and the inoculation neither prevented nor mitigated the effect of our intestinal woes.

Thankfully, that is now past history and our house on the river is hopefully a healthy haven at least for the near future. I have many mirrors in my house that are constant reminders of my inevitable aging. Where there were once the bulging muscles of robust youth, there are now the bags and sags of advancing age. So be it. I still want to feel good and, by gosh, I will. Thus, IÕ ll walk the walk and hope for the best.

For many years, it was running and biking. Not anymore. The bikesÑ all three of themÑ have been donated to the Christmas Bureau and the helmet is relegated to a high shelf. From this day forward, a brisk walk will have to suffice. Losing twenty pounds during the recent flu session was kind of a pleasant adjunct. Getting used to not eating as much during meals and in between, kind of agrees with me. From now on, itÕ s a kind of brain training, whereby the portions are much smaller. Wish me luck.

IÕ ll probably never be a lightweight again.

When I moved to Plattsburgh in July of 1961, the scales read 203 pounds and the tape read 34 inches around the waist. How things have changed in the interim. When I was in high school I lifted weights daily at home. In those days, I knew no one else who did so. I was proud to note that my left bicep (IÕ m a southpaw) was the same size as the then undefeated heavyweight world champion boxer, Rocky Marciano: 14 inches. Now, it’s about 12 inches of pure flab. My weight this morning was 263.

But there is still hope. Eating healthy, thinking healthy and moderate exercise will be my mantra for the summer of 2015 and beyond. IÕ ll make an honest effort. Perspective is one of my favorite words. There were many ways to put my life into perspective. I look at my wonderful wife Kaye as she steps on the scales and it reads 90 pounds. I joke by saying my left earlobe weighs that much.

With her support and yours, IÕ ll slog up and down the Morrisonville sidewalks every day and attempt to log at least ten miles each week. If you happen to drive by and it appears that IÕ m not moving, bear in mind that itÕ s just an optical illusion. Chances are, my mind is moving a great deal faster than my feet.

Plattsburgh Press-Republican alters delivery methods Number of affected subscribers unknown, questions strike a nerve with publisher

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com WESTPORT Ñ ItÕ s a morning ritual that residents have always enjoyed: Wake up, put the coffee on and shuffle outside to grab the newspaper.

But that ritual has been disrupted following the Press-RepublicanÕ s decision to alter the way their newspapers are delivered to some subscribers, a change that went into effect May 1.

Once distributed by independent carriers, the papers are now being sent to subscribers in parts of Essex and Franklin counties by the postal service, a development that has pushed delivery back to mid-morning, or later depending on when mail is delivered and where subscribers live or work.

Interviews with residents along one affected area, the rural stretch of lakeside highway between Westport and Port Henry, revealed mixed reactions to the change, with some saying they were upset and would likely drop their subscriptions and others saying they would continue subscribing for now.

Doug Sears, of Westport, said while he now received his newspaper around 10 a.m., he wasnÕ t terribly upset by the shift.

“You get used to it,” he said.

Danna Place, on the other hand, said she canceled her subscription that morning.

Place did so because she receives her mail through a post office box.

The delivery change meant that Place would have to make daily trips to the post office, a change in routine that she said would be inconvenient, and one that would not allow for delivery of the Sunday edition.

The box would quickly fill up if she declined to do so, she said, leaving little room for other mail.

COST REDUCTION The change was made to reduce transportation costs to outlying areas, explained Press-Republican Publisher Bob Parks in a statement published in his newspaper on May 5.

Prior to the change, drivers had been distributing papers to the Malone area, the Tri-Lakes region and as far south as Ticonderoga, as well as the smaller communities in between.

The vast majority of readers will continue to receive carrier delivery, said Parks, and all affected subscribers had been notified by mail.

In fact, he said, the change would now allow the newspaper to reach isolated residences that were once prohibitively expensive

through carrier delivery.

The website will continue to be updated multiple times daily, he noted. Ò We realize this is a fairly big change for those who are used to getting their newspaper each morning and we are thankful for your continued understanding and loyalty,” said Parks.

Prior to the switch going into effect, the issue became a hot topic on social media, with many unsure if they would still receive the paper that day, or even at all. Others questioned what would happen on Sunday, when mail is not delivered.

Parks acknowledged the chatter in his statement: Ò The change prompted some misinformation on social media that the Press-Republican was no longer delivering to those areas,” said Parks, who was also criticized for waiting until May 5 to make a public statement.

One reader said the online discussion was a direct result of what was perceived as a lack of communication.

“So the Press-Rep waits until May 5 to finally report publicly the change in home deliveries to over 1,400 of its subscribers,” wrote Lake Placid resident Francis Strack on Facebook. Ò No mention that the letters that were mailed came on the day, or day after, the change.”

The exact number of affected subscribers remains unknown, as does how the shift will affect distribution to newsstands and other vendors in the affected areas.

One vendor, Saleem Hayad, of Port Henry Mobil, reported a slight uptick in daily sales following the change, up to 15 compared to between 10 and 12 before.

Parks declined to discuss specific details when reached by email for comment, referring to the aforementioned statement.

“BTW, I don’t discuss marketing plans, etc. with competitors,” he wrote to a reporter.

Parks also declined to elaborate in a videotaped interview with WCAX earlier this month.

But Parks did insinuate, however, that if Denton Publications

went ahead with this report, he would assign a staffer to investigate rumors that Denton Publications is for sale.

In response, Denton publisher and owner Dan Alexander said that he was advised to have the company evaluated to establish value for estate planning. The only way to do so for an organization with a unique set of factors like a community newspaper is to test the market, he said.

“It’s nice to know that they think of us as competition,” said Alexander. Ò For many years, they would not acknowledge our community papers as an equal.”

Alexander called the news a Ò sad commentary for the paper and the communities they serve” and was disappointed Parks was not more forthcoming to share information about the affected subscribers. Ò The Press-Republican has done hundreds of stories on company cutbacks and layoffs,” said Alexander. “It’s odd how they react when the shoe is on the other foot.”

The Press-Republican has served as a valuable resource to the region for over 100 years, said Alexander, who stressed the importance of local ownership.

Decisions made from afar, he said, may not always be the best for the community. Ò As a subscriber and newspaper junkie, it seems obvious to me that these changes were not made locally by the professional staff who understand the makeup of our region, but by the investment ownership whose purpose is not the newspaper business, but the investment business,” said Alexander.

Denton Publications is a family-owned business based in Elizabethtown, New York.

The Press-Republican is owned by Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc., an Alabama-based company that owns some 130 media properties across the United States, according to their website.

In January, CHNI made headlines when they shuttered the Tonawanda News, a long-running daily newspaper in western New York, for business reasons, including advertising and circulation.

According to the Alliance for Audited Media, the Press Republican has a total average circulation of 15,020, with about 70 percent of their total paid circulation coming from Clinton County.

Essex County boasts 19 percent and Franklin, 9.4 percent.

Alexander said changes like this reflect badly on the newspaper industry as a whole. Ò ItÕ s important to understand the difference between locallyowned and community-invested versus corporate ownership,” he said.

Place, the Westport resident, painted the change as a cultural shift in how people interact with their community. Ò This is the North Country and the newspaper is a big part of everyone’s morning,” she said. “Everyone is so busy, it’s a quiet place you go to each day. It’s a bygone era and that’s too bad.”

Honor Flight From page 1

Finnegan says that Honor Flight is working with students from Seton Catholic Central to place notices in church bulletins to try to find veterans who still do not know about Honor Flight.

With this being the third summer of Honor Flights, King and Finnegan hope for an even bigger send-off for the veterans than in years past. The people at the send-off and arrival ceremonies, said Finnegan, are often the highlight of the trip for the veterans. Ò The most asked question when weÕ re on the bus is Ô Are these people all here for us?’ They smile and they just love it.”

For this flight, because of construction at the airport, only one ceremony will be held at the oval rather than having a second at the airport.

Veterans will still have the “walk of honor” as they enter the airport. There will also be a designated location at the airport for spectators to watch veterans board the plane and watch the customary fly over on the way to Washington.

The send-off ceremony will start at 7 a.m. with a flag raising

by calling or stopping by the Recreation Office (on Banker Road) at 562-6860 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.

GeoTrail set to begin

The veterans are expected back at the oval at 10 p.m.

King says that their second flight, scheduled for June 20, is already booked. They are still filling two other flights, set to take off Oct. 3 and 30.

With each veteran comes their own unique story, like the two on this flight who each served on the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, one during World War II and the other during the Korean War. Honor Flight hopes to find more veterans, and tell their stories, this coming year. Veterans or family members of veterans who have not yet got on a flight are urged to go to www. nchonorflight.org for more information.

Sunday’s flight will include the following veterans: Charles Austin, Whitehall; Bazil Burns, Queensbury; John Carey, Long Lake; Rudolph Chapola, Champlain; Charles Filion, Plattsburgh; John Hansen, Chazy; Daniel Henry, Massena; Robert Jerdo, Westport; Victor Lambert, Plattsburgh; John Murphy, Plattsburgh; Robert Noody, Star Lake; Raymond Plante, Elizabethtown; John Waldron, Port Henry; and Reginald Wells, Plattsburgh.

In the outdoors, there’s always a game

G

ame is a traditional term used to describe any fish, fowl or other wild creature that is hunted for either sport or food. The term comes from medieval hunting terminology in the late 13th century and it is particular to the English language, coming from the generic Old English gamen, which means “joy, amusement, sport, or merriment”.The term has been used widely to define the distinction between a variety of species of a particular animal, such as wild turkey and domestic turkey.

A wild turkey is born in the wild, and feeds primarily on natural foods available in the forest habitat, while a domestic turkey is fed grain and other supplements to enhanced their growth.

Although a domestic turkey may feed on insects or similar wild forage, it does not live in the wild. As a result, it is not as wary of natural predators (including humans) as itÕ s wild counterparts.

Fish taken with a rod and reel, strictly for sporting purposes, are widely referred to as game fish. However, game fish may also be consumed at times, especially in the case salmon, tuna, trout and other species. Typically, game fish are pursued for the thrill of the chase, rather than the taste of the meat.

The distinction is often defined by the means of harvest, which generally involves a measure of skill with a rod and reel, rather than simply dragging a net behind a trawler. However, not all sport fish that are caught are to be eaten. The growing popularity of Catch and Release ethics, and the recognition of “Line class” World Records, which require anglers to release trophy fish they have successfully landed on extremely light tackle; have combined to make ‘game fishing’ pure fun.

Sportfish including sailfish, tuna and marlin are now caught, tagged and released to ensure the species will continue to breed in the wild. The Catch and Release ethic, which states “A fish (trout, tuna or tarpon) is too valuable to be caught only once has been responsible for the perpetuation of many unique strains of wild fish, all over the world.

True trophy fish, which are released so they can continue to reproduce, serve to preserve a unique genetic stew that is likely to result in still more trophy fish.

The wide variety of animals that are hunted for food varies widely in all parts of the world.

The choice of food or sport is influenced by climate, animal diversity, diet and locally accepted views about what can or cannot be legitimately hunted. There is also a particular distinction

(52) and Kyle Side (53) earned the teamÕ s other wins. All three of between regional varieties of common species of a particular animal, and also between domestic and wild strains of a species as in the case of wild turkey versus domestic turkey.

The same holds true with wild, or native fish caught that are for sport, versus hatchery reared, stocked fish.

The term Ô gameÕ which is particular to the English language in medieval times, is a hunting term meaning Ò joy, amusement, sport, and merriment.”

However, it appears the term quarry has been greatly expanded, and the ‘joy, merriment and sport of taking a bird or animal” is no longer considered the ultimate culmination of a chase. In fact, the Ô killÕ is no longer considered the ultimate necessity of the hunt, as digital scopes now allow hunters to capture an image of the intended game animal, and no projectiles are required.

Catch and Release Birding

While turkey hunters have been in the woods since the beginning of the month when the season opened, birders are in the woods all year round. They hunt birds in all of the season, and use a variety of spotting scopes, binoculars, digital cameras, and most importantly with their ears.

Turkey hunters and birders have a lot in common. They are used to getting up early, and settling into a blind to wait, look and listen for a particular species of bird. Both groups study their prey, and they know the birdÕ s habits and their preferred habitats.

Similar to hunters, birders also use a variety of calls, recordings and even decoys in their efforts to lure a particular species of bird within range. While birders do not seek to consume their prey, they do take great pride in collecting verified sightings of any number of birds. In fact, birders are very competitive while on the hunt, and they actually participate in a variety of competitive birding events.

Audubon 32nd Annual World Series of Birding

Last weekend, over 70 teams of birders gathered in New Jersey to participate in the 32nd annual World Series of Birding, which was hosted by New Jersey Audubon (NJA).

The World Series of Birding is an enjoyable, and highly competitive event for birding and nature enthusiasts. It is the equivalent of the Opening Day of Hunting season.

Birders work in teams, similar to a party of hunters, as they continue to scour the skies, lakes and woodlands for a full 24 hours (from midnight to midnight).

In their efforts to collect, and count as many bird species as they can identify by either sight or sound, within the state of New Jersey, birders will take to the woods and the wetlands.

They are also willing travel great distances if necessary in order to collect an unusual specimen, that is passing through on migration.

Each species that is seen or heard counts as one, and the event offers opportunities for birders of all levels of expertise, includ-

ing local conservation groups, schools and youth birding teams that come together to share their unique interest.

The annual event includes four different levels of competition, and the first official World Series of Birding began at midnight on May 19, 1984, with only 13 teams in competition.

Currently, several hundred birders participate in the event.

For further information, visit their website at www.worldseriesofbirding.org

The 2015 New York Loon Census

While participants in the World Series of Birding head off to fields, forests and the countryside to collect a variety of bird species, the annual New York Loon Census seeks only a single bird species.

While the New York Loon Census is centered exclusively on loons, it has now expanded the territory of the count to include all waters in New York state.

The 2015 New York Loon Census will be hosted on Saturday, July 18. The popular event is hosted on the 3rd Saturday of July every year from 8-9a.m. If you are interested in participating in the 2015 New York Loon Census, please contact WCSÕ Adirondack Program at accp@wcs.org to sign up. The Adirondack Wildlife Conservation Society will have the 2014 results of the 2014 Census, as well as information about the 2015 NY Loon Census posted to their websites, found at www.briloon.org/adkloon and www.wcsadirondacks.org.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

A pair of loons, pictured here, mate for life, and return to the same pond, year after year.
