Hill and Hollow taking a hiatus Chamber music organization taking time to ‘regroup and rethink’ after challenging year By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com SARANAC — Angela M. Brown wouldn’t exactly called it the day the music died, but rather the day the musicians took five. Brown, who serves as executive director of Hill and Hollow Music, said the nonprofit chamber music organization founded in 1995 is taking a break from bringing performances to the greater Saranac area. “We are just taking some time out because we have neglected a lot of personal stuff for a number of years,” said Brown, referring to herself and her husband. “We’re taking time out to just regroup and rethink things.” The decision to put Hill and Hollow on hiatus came when the organization took a huge financial hit last year.
According to Brown, $45,000 in state grant funding fell through, which would have helped make up nearly half of Hill and Hollow’s $100,000 annual operating budget. “That was kind of like the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said Brown. “We had to raise a lot of money all the time and it took a lot of energy to do that.” However, through their use of a financial reserve and generous donations from Hill and Hollow supporters, the shows specially-themed for the Quadricentennial went on as planned, said Brown. “We didn’t cancel a thing, but we did have to dip into our slush fund to manage. And, luckily, our friends were very good to us,” said Brown. “We were able to ful-
Hill and Hollow Music, the nonprofit chamber music organization which has brought musical performances to the North Country for the past 15 years, is taking a break for now. Executive director Angela M. Brown said the challenge of raising approximately $100,000 each year to bring acts like Raz-de-Marée — a traditional Québécois classical music ensemble seen here in a 2008 performance — and others, has become increasingly difficult.

SCHUYLER FALLS — Once the warm, fuzzy feeling of the holidays has gone away, there’s still much work to be done — at least when it comes to taking down those holiday decorations. Aside from taking down the Christmas lights and the oversized inflatable lawn snowglobe, there’s the annual tradition of taking down the Christmas tree. If you’re someone who’s opted for an artificial tree, the clean-up is as simple as breaking down the manmade marvel and storing it away until next winter. However, when it comes
to real trees, you may sometimes find yourself asking where do they go from here? Craig Squier, general manager of the Clinton County Landfill, said the facility is again accepting Christmas trees for recycling free of charge through Saturday, Jan. 30. The annual grace period, which traditionally begins the day after Christmas, waives the $5 fee charged by the landfill for accepting Christmas trees as brush, said Squier. “Folks probably take their tree down at New Year ’s or shortly thereafter, but there are some stragglers,” said Squier. “Some take it down and it lies on the side of the

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com SARANAC — The Rural Preservation Company of Clinton County is breathing new life into what’s been called one of the town’s most recognized landmarks. The Centennial House, a building constructed in the early 1800s on what is today Ganong Drive, is being rehabilitated thanks, in part, to funding from the New York State Housing Trust Fund. Duquette Brothers Construction of Plattsburgh was awarded the contract, which will create three one-bedroom apartments for senior citizens age 62 and older, as well as a new office for the Rural Preservation Company, which is currently located in Tedford’s Plaza on State Route 3. “I’d say we’re probably about 45 percent complete,” organization executive director Mary E. Mattila said of the project. The Rural Preservation Company purchased the house from the Saranac Senior Citizens Club in January 2006, but
the building’s history dates back much further than that, said town historian Jan Couture. The building, which was built as a private residence nearly 200 years ago and later became a hotel, was part of what was once called Hopper ’s Corners, named after one of the town’s early settlers. Hopper ’s Corners was a central location for commercial and social activity in the town, Couture said, with performances and gatherings at the nearby Grange hall and town bandstand. “It was a bustling area. It was the lifeblood of the town and the Centennial House was a part of that,” said Couture. Though creating more senior housing won’t necessarily bring more bustle to the neighborhood, Mattila hopes the reincarnation of the Centennial House will be an important addition for the elderly community. “I think this is ideal for our seniors, especially for ones who have lived here their entire life and want to continue to reside here,” said Mattila. “This is a solution for them to stay in the area.” Mattila said she’s also glad to see the
project will mean one less eyesore in the town, especially one that’s been vacant for the past seven years. “The people that live here and, of course, the area around where Centennial House is, have just seen it going downhill and dilapidating,” she said. “[The project] is very, very important to them. It’s a historical home and to have it brought back to life is absolutely wonderful.” Couture agreed, saying she was pleased to learn the Rural Preservation Company is bringing the house back from the brink of a state where it would likely have one day been condemned. “This is a part of our heritage,” she said. “It’s one of the few brick houses in Saranac and once it’s gone, it’s gone.” The Rural Preservation Company is currently taking applications for housing at the Centennial House, which is income-based. For more information, contact Mattila Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at 293-7569. The project is expected to be completed sometime next month, said Mattila.

The Droid: Is it all hype or a really good phone?
,
B
Adirondack Humane Society
eing happy with a plain old cell phone for a long time, I have recently found myself interested in an Android phone. I don’t know if it’s the commercials causing the interest or the laughter I get from nearby teenagers when I’m texting. An Android phone is any phone device that runs the Android operating system. They belong to the class of cell phones called “smart phones,” which are essentially handheld computers with a processor, memory, storage, an operating system and so forth. They do way more than simple phone conversations or texting. Like a PC, they are only limited in what they can do by the installed applications. There are many Android phones in use today. Most run an older version of Android that had problems common of new technology and therefore did not attract a lot of attention. That is changing quickly as a flood of new devices running the newer 2.0 version of Android are now hitting the market. One of the first is Droid, which is the name of a particular handset from Motorola offered by Verizon Wireless. In early November, Droid had the distinction of being the first
Android v2.0 phone from Verizon. Many media outlets that follow the technology say Android v2.0 is about to have its moment in the sun. They predict Androidbased smart phones are serious contenders to surpass the Apple iPhone in popularity. Flurry.com reported 250,000 Droids were sold in the first week. Compare that to 1.6 million iPhones in their first week. A closer look at the numbers reveals many iPhone sales were to people upgrading or Apple brand loyalists. Considering Droid is brand new and has no follower, 250,000 is an impressive numBy Ron Poland ber. With many handsets quickly coming from many manufacturers, Android v2.0 will be something to watch.

dentity thieves, beware: seniors aren’t easy targets anymore. They have been forewarned and forearmed. According to an Oct. 28, 2009 Older Americans report, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice recently released new tips and information to help seniors and Medicare beneficiaries deter, detect, and defend against medical identity theft. Medical identity theft occurs when someone steals a patient’s personal information, such as his or her name and Medicare number, and uses the information to obtain medical care, to buy drugs or supplies, or to fraudulently bill Medicare using the patient’s stolen identity. “When criminals steal from Medicare they are stealing from all of us. Preventing medical identity theft is an important part of our work to stop Medicare fraud, and these tools will give seniors important information about how to deter, detect and defend against ID theft and fraud,” HHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius stated in a press release. The released materials include practical steps against medical identity theft. Beneficiaries are reminded to beware of offers of free medical equipment, services, or goods in exchange for their Medicare numbers. Beneficiaries are also encouraged to regularly review their Medicare Summary Notices, Explanation of Benefits statements, and medical bills
for suspicious charges and to report suspected problems. “This administration is committed to guarding Medicare against fraud and abuse. We will continue to protect the integrity of the nation’s public health programs and vigorously pursue those who seek to take advantage of our most vulnerable citizens,” said assistant attorney general Tony West. “OIG’s special agents frequently uncover fraud schemes that involve the sale and use of stolen Medicare identification numbers. We’re cracking down on these schemes and working to help stop medical identity theft before it happens,” said HHS inspector general Daniel R. Levison. The new tips and a printable brochure, produced by the HHS Office of the Inspector General are now available at www.stopmedicarefraud.gov and www.oig.hhs.gov/fraud/ idtheft.

Why the smart couponers clip judiciously
K
nowing the best ways to use coupons and match them to lowpriced sales gives shoppers a huge advantage compared to paying full price at the grocery store. Stocking up when items are at very low prices is, of course, another factor in saving big on the items we buy often. So what’s the third component to super-couponing success? For me, it’s organizing and using my coupons as efficiently as possible. The newspaper may contain 40 or more coupons each week. That’s a lot of paper to potentially manage. And truthfully, I do not want to cut all of those coupons out then keep track of lots of little loose pieces of paper, sorting them by product type and category and watching expiration dates. That can quickly become a job in itself! Instead, I’ve become a big fan of a “clipless” system for handling coupon inserts, called clipless because, well, it means you will clip less! Instead of cutting each coupon out, I save the entire insert each week. I store the inserts in an accordion file, which can be found in any store that carries office supplies. I place the current month’s coupon inserts in the front pocket of the file and the previous month’s in the next divider, and so on. There are many weeks when I don’t even flip through the insert when it arrives, I simply stick it in the file so I know where it is. The important thing is to keep all of the inserts together in one place, so that you have all of your coupons on hand when it’s time to plan shopping trips. Another nice thing about this method is that it ensures you keep all of your coupons, not just the ones that you think you’ll use. It eliminates the “beginner mistake” of cutting just the coupons you think you’ll use and then throwing the rest of the coupon insert away. Super-couponers know discarding the “unnecessary” coupons means you’ll also throw away coupons for items that will be free later. Now, if frozen peas go on sale for $1, you know that the $1 coupon for the
peas offered in last month’s paper is still on hand, waiting for you to cut it out and go get some free veggies! Keeping all of the inserts intact and storing them together is the first step in this process. Then, when I am ready to plan this week’s shopping trips, I turn to the Internet to help me determine which coupons to clip. There are many coupon Web sites that will actually give a list of every item currently on sale in your area grocery store and match the coupons to the sales for you. Each of these sites operates on the understanding you have saved all of your coupon inserts. The By Jill Cataldo site tells you exactly which insert the coupon you need for a particular item appears in. An example? A site may say “Spreadable butter is on sale for $1.69. Use the $1.25 coupon from 11/16 SS and take it home for 44 cents.” The reference to “11/16 SS” tells an informed shopper exactly which coupon insert the coupon appears in — in this case, the Nov. 16 edition of the SmartSource coupon insert. If you look at your coupon inserts, you’ll notice each one has a name at the top. These Web sites will tell you exactly which insert your coupon appears in by date and name. You then simply pull that insert from your file, clip just the coupon you need and replace the insert in the file for later use. On my Web site, www.supercouponing.com, I’ve got a link on the home page called “Getting Started.” This section of my site illustrates the method in more detail and contains links to many popular coupon Web sites that will help you plan shopping trips with ease.

When your thoughts turn to spring planting
T
his morning, my 2-year-old daughter made me very proud. She found a seed catalog, a pillow, and a blanket, climbed up onto the couch, and proudly proclaimed she was going to “read a book.” I guess I’m training my kids early. Whether you are a novice seed catalog user, like my daughter, or have purchased quite a few seeds through the mail, there are always a few tips to help make the transaction easier. The first thing to do is to become familiar with some of the common terms. One that can be seen more and more frequently is the phrase “pelleted seed.” Seeds that are very small, and therefore difficult to handle, can now be purchased in a pelleted form. These seeds are coated with substance to make them larger, and easier to plant. You will probably get fewer seeds per packet, but the ability to hold and plant one seed at a time may outweigh the cost difference! Other seeds will state they are treated. This means the seeds went through a heat or chemical treatment to kill any possible fungus. Some fungal diseases can be transferred
through the seed. Most organic seeds are untreated, but you can carefully treat seeds at home using a hot water bath to kill fungal spores. See next weeks column for more information on this. Another possibility when purchasing seeds is to find varieties that have been bred for disease resistance. If you know powdery mildew, rust, or another disease is often a problem for you, look for cultivars that state they are disease resistant or tolerant. Varieties may vary between seed catalogs, so review several to find the best choices for your situation. And, finally, don’t get too carried away. I find my seed catalogs very tempting during the winter months! Seeing all the wonderful photos of summer vegetables and flowers makes it easy to overestimate what I can actually fit into my garden when spring comes around!

Mayor reflects on holidays, looks toward new year or ’s Cup and Regatta which I am confident will be a success. I attended a press event for the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum announcing a February funding wine tasting and auction to benefit their Kid’s Museum. I performed a wedding ceremony for a wonderful young couple and attended a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce with local business leaders addressing the Pfizer situation, which is being handled as best it can in light of the decision to reduce hundreds of jobs. Regarding city business, budget sessions continue to be held by the Common Council. They are considering changes to my budget and must vote on the official 2010 budget by the second Thursday in January per Charter Law. Constituent complaints and concerns are dealt with on a daily basis as best we can. Union negotiations, grievances, and personnel issues continue which are always interesting. 2010 will bring many challenges to the city of Plattsburgh and the entire region. My hope is our elected officials in Washington and Albany understand the struggles people are facing and do what is in the best interests of the majority and not special interests. Happy New Year to everyone!
Discrimination still out there
We should all fully endorse that decision. In the meantime, I suggest you join with me in the clear statement, “not my child.” I will not take away my child’s future before they have an opportunity to find it themselves and my dear school system nor will you. Damien C. Tackett Peru
It was many years ago the U.S. Supreme Court declared that separate was not equal in Brown v. the Board of Education. While our children thankfully are no longer separated by race, it is entirely acceptable to separate those children labeled as learning disabled. We take it for granted that our children have a right to obtain a high school diploma, and that their learning differences and challenges will be addressed and embraced by the public school system, supported by our tax dollars. No child left behind, right? Many of you may be surprised to learn of a very affablesounding credential dubbed the IEP diploma. Yes, it sounds harmless enough, an Individual Educational Plan diploma, reserved for those students who have difficulty earning a “normal” diploma. Here in is the problem, the IEP diploma is not a diploma at all. It is a convenient pigeonholing of children that need the extra assistance from our education system and setting them on track to receive a worthless piece of paper that does little more than state this child attended school. The student with an IEP diploma, is treated the same as a student who dropped out of high school by our colleges and junior colleges. A child with an IEP diploma cannot join the military. A child with an IEP diploma is in essence being deprived of their constitutional right to receive equal educational opportunity, under Brown v. the Board of Education. You are probably asking yourself why the school system would endorse such a degrading and destructive policy, and further what parent would stand for it. To answer the latter, many parents do not have any understanding of the ramifications of the IEP diploma. There is a sadly high numbers of these children in sadly low socioeconomic homes, and while the implications may be addressed, certainly they are not addressed with clarity or lack of inherent or systemic coercion. To answer the former, if I were cynical, I would offer convenience and funding are at play. Trying to be more optimistic, I will suggest a lack of manpower, and other appropriate alternatives are at the heart of the matter. Thankfully, the state is debating eliminating this program.

ecember is always a challenging month as we all wait for the winter weather to change. If snow arrives, then we begin to deal with all the issues associated with snow plowing, shoveling, driving inconveniences, and safety conditions. We were fortunate this December as the weather cooperated and no huge storms arrived. I am sure, however, they are on the way! I have always been proud of the generosity of the people of the North Country, especially during the holidays. The contributions to the Salvation Army, The Christmas Bureau, Toys for Tots and all the other holiday agencies is very impressive. This year was no exception and one other wonderful act of kindness worth mentioning was the dinner provided to the needy by Harold and Betty Benjamin of Benji’s Café. They held a holiday dinner and served hundreds of dinners through donations and the hard work from them and many volunteers. Leisa and David Boise assisted with dinner seating at their downtown business, Villari’s Self Defense Center. Harold mentioned to me he plans on making this a yearly event. My schedule was busy as usual with meetings throughout the month. I attended the open house at the new indoor storage facility, Lucenda’s, located at the old Bouyea Baking Company Building.

Help United Way reach its goal There is no doubt that the North Country is known for the giving spirit of the people that live here. It never ceases to amaze me how this community comes together for a common goal, even in the toughest times. Although there are many worthy causes to support in our area, there are few that affect the number and variety of that impacted by the annual United Way campaign. Our local United Way supports 33 member agencies. These agencies are staples in our North Country community, ones that most of us could not imagine life in our area without. The Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, YMCA, Senior Citizens Council, Champlain Valley Family Center, Alzheimer ’s Disease Assistance Center, and Hospice, to name just a few, rely on the support of the United Way to continue to provide their much needed services in our area. This year, the United Way has a goal of $700,000 — a goal that can only be reached by all of us coming together as our North Country community always has. A gift to the United Way does not have to be large in order to make a difference. If everyone gives just a little, it is amazing how quickly it all adds up. Find out if your employer does payroll deduction to the United Way — the easiest way to give over time. If this is not available to you, please consider a gift, in any amount, to our United Way at 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh N.Y. 12901. Remember that every dollar brings us a step closer to providing services to all walks of life in our community. We all know someone that has been touched by the United Way and its 33 member agencies. Let’s not let them down ... let’s show everyone that even in the toughest of times, the generosity of the people of the North Country will always shine. Thank you, in advance, for your generous support. Vicki L. Marking West Chazy (Vicki L. Marking is a member of the 2009-10 United Way Fundraising Campaign Team.)

Rescue squad brings Christmas dinner to needy families By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com
Morrisonville Rescue Squad members Donna Bodette and Melody Graham, in back from left, respectively, were helped in distributing Christmas dinner baskets in time for the holidays. They were joined, from left, by Kimberly Stevens, Zachary Faus and Dave Justus. Not pictured: Sue Faus. Photo by Jeremiah S. Papineau
MORRISONVILLE — The underprivileged who live within the Morrisonville Rescue Squad District weren’t forgotten during the holiday season. Rescue squad members continued the tradition of assembling food baskets during the holidays, a tradition in existence since 2005, said critical care technician Donna Bodette. The effort began with Thanksgiving baskets but eventually changed to Christmas dinner baskets bearing in mind the same principle of helping the less fortunate during what can be a tough time of year. “We’ve been doing this for four years now,” said Bodette, who credited fellow critical care technician Melody Graham for being a driving force behind the effort. “Back then, we decided we wanted to make it a yearly thing.” “That year, we made apple pies. My husband and I were up all night long making them from scratch,” recalled Graham. The labor of love was worth it, she said, though this year, rescue squad members were limited in the amount of time they could put into preparing the baskets, which also included hams, fruits and vegetables. “This year, with working and it being very time consuming, we got the apples and gave them the recipe for apple
crisps,” said Bodette. Bodette and Graham said by providing the recipe to basket recipients, it also gave families an activity to do together. In all, 15 baskets were assembled, including baskets coordinated through local humanitarian Dave Justus for two victims of domestic violence. “That was special,” said Graham, referring to teaming up with Justus for the donations he coordinated. Overall, the number of baskets assembled was comparable to recent years. “We wanted to do more, but times are hard for everybody,” said Graham. The rescue squad was still able to get generous donations for the baskets from many local businesses and individuals, Graham added, particularly thanking the support of Dr. Frank Szmalc and his family. The Szmalcs and others donated their time and resources to make the outreach happen, she said. “And, Mel’s been our salvation because she does most of the running around,” said Graham. Graham and Bodette — who were helped by friend Sue Faus and her son, Zachary, as well as Graham’s granddaughter, Kimberly Stevens — said they were excited just to hear how excited the people were that they were helping. “We know there are a lot more needy people out there, but if we can reach a few people, that’s makes us feel good,” said Graham.

Lake Champlain bridge demolition marks end of an era, beginning of new one Snow, fog limit visibility By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — After more than 80 years of service, the Lake Champlain Bridge has been retired. The span, which was closed Oct. 16 after structural problems were discovered, was demolished Dec. 28 to make way for a new bridge. “It was a little sad,” said Nancy Frasier, Times of Ti photographer, who covered the demolition. “After all these years to see it come down like that was sad.” Construction of a new bridge is planned to start in the spring with completion targeted for summer 2011. A new ferry service is being readied near the former bridge in Crown Point to serve motorists while a new structure is being built. The Ticonderoga ferry is also running with the help of anti-ice measures. The Lake Champlain Bridge opened Aug. 26, 1929, with two governors — New York’s Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vermont’s John L. Weeks — leading the festivities. This week’s demolition was nearly as festive. Hundreds of people turned out in New York and Vermont to watch as the bridge was imploded and crashed into the lake. Public viewing areas were set up at Port Henry Beach and Bulwagga Bay in New York as well as along Route 125 in Vermont. The spectacle was televised live and broadcast on the internet. It was covered by more than 100 media members. Snow and fog at the time of the demolition limited visibility to a half mile. Sirens sounded 10, 5 and 1 minute before the demolition to warn people of the blast, but many of those watching missed the actual explosion because it happened so quickly — in about 2 seconds. Slow-motion replays of the event showed a series of 500 charges exploding along the 2,184-foot bridge and its collapse. “I could see it well,” said Frasier, who was located in a special media zone at the Crown Point Historic Site. “There was some fog, but I could clearly see the lights (charges) flashing, the explosion and the bridge coming down.
“It was kinda exciting,” she added. Some of those planning to watch the event gave up because of the conditions. “I went to Port Henry to watch the demolition, but there was zero visibility so I went home to watch it on TV,” Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider said. “From what I saw, it was very quick, not as loud as they said it would be and an impressive display of precision by a internationally-known company. “It is sad to see the old bridge go down, but staying focused to the future, I am hopeful that the new bridge will move along as smoothly as the demolition,” she said. “Mother Nature certainly did not want to cooperate today but the job was accomplished anyway.” New York Gov. David Paterson said the demolition is a key step in restoring normal traffic to the region. “We continue to move as quickly as possible to restore the vital connection between our states, and resume normal transportation across Lake Champlain on behalf of those who live near and depend on it in their daily lives,” Paterson said. “The bridge coming down weighs heavy on our hearts, but it is a critical task that is now completed,” he said. “The former Lake Champlain Bridge, which served our states well since it opened in 1929, had outlived its lifespan. Once the new bridge is built, we will have an even more majestic connection between our states, and the communities in the surrounding areas will benefit from a span that will be more modern, but will preserve the environmental and historical integrity of the area.” Roads leading to the bridge were closed to the public. A safety zone of 1,000 feet was established for land access and a 2,000 foot nofly zone was declared by the Federal Aviation Association. The demolition was handled by Advanced Explosives Demolition, Inc. of Idaho. In order to protect the public during the Lake Champlain Bridge demolition and subsequent debris removal, the United States Coast Guard has established a water safety zone of a minimum of 1,000 feet on either side of the bridge. No vessels, vehicles or people are permitted within the area without Coast Guard approval through April 15 to allow the channel to be cleared of debris. Fred Herbst is editor of the Times of Ti, a sister publication of this newspaper.

around all the time,” Tammy explained. “This is a little good story for a change. Just something special. Because we want to continue doing this. But, we’re not doing it just to have people look at us. We’re doing it because it’s all from the heart.” The two were joined by Tara’s aunt, Tracy Gooley; her brother, Tyler; and Tyler ’s friend, Mitchell Laporte. “I actually think it’s really important to do this, because I think [my children] receive a lot,” explained Tammy. “I think it’s important for them to know at an early age that it’s just as important for them to give.” During the visit, Tara went into each patient’s
room, delivering a goodie bag of baked goods she helped her mother bake. For those patients who were unable to have food, they gave them a Christmas card with a lottery ticket. “I’m thinking ‘Oh my gosh, I hope they like treats,’” Tara said of when she enters a patient’s room. “Hopefully, they’ll have a merry Christmas.” Tyler, an 11th-grader at CCRS, did not visit the hospital last year, but after seeing his sister make the trip this year, he was very “proud.” “I would have never done it when I was her age,” Tyler said. “I would have been too scared. I look at her and she goes into those rooms and
she seems pretty confident, even though I know sometimes it can be pretty scary.” “I’m proud of her for doing this,” he added. The family hopes their act will encourage others to get in the “giving” mood. “Maybe this will encourage other people to stop and take a second,” said Tracy. “It’s not just about buying gifts for other people, it’s about doing something nice for other people. Maybe this will encourage others to do something nice as well.” Editor ’s note: Kidsville News!, a product of Denton Publications, is looking for more kids making a difference.

Friends of the North Country to get $100,000 boost to renovate homes By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE — Friends of the North Country, a nonprofit organization with a mission of helping low-income families, has received word it will receive $100,000 to renovate 12 homes in Clinton County. According to the New York State Affordable Housing Corporation, the state agency which recently approved the grant, the funding will finance “renovations for homes in substandard condition due to inadequate maintenance.” Home improvements will include the repair or replacement of roofs, windows and doors, as well as heating, plumbing and electrical system upgrades. Scott Campbell, executive director of Friends of the North Country, said the funding is very important to help correct conditions which threaten the health and safety of homeowners. “Certainly, it helps them, it helps us and it helps all the way around,” Campbell said of the funding. “Especially when you’re working with these programs and you have a certain unit goal and a certain amount of money and over the life of a particular program, costs tend to

sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Nineyear-old Tara Lashway of Champlain understands the true meaning of Christmas — giving. During the past several years, Tara, a fourth-grader at Chazy Central Rural School, has seen many family members pass away from cancer — three grandparents, aunts and uncles. “Some people have heart [disease], some have Alzheimer ’s, our family happens to be associated with cancer,” said Tara’s mother, Tammy. Last year, Tara drove by the Rite-Aid in Champlain and saw an underprivileged man, which sparked an idea. “[Tara] said, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to do something nice for him,’” Tammy explained. “I said, ‘Well, where else can we take this? What else do you think we could do?” From there, Tara realized she wanted to spread Christmas cheer to the patients on the oncology floor at the CVPH Medical Center, where she had seen so many of her family members get care. “I said ‘Mom, how about we make goodies and actually go to the hospital and go to the cancer floor,’” Tara explained. “And, she said, ‘Oh, good idea.’” Working together, both Tara and Tammy baked various goodies for the patients, nurses and doctors to enjoy. Now, they are making it an annual tradition. On Dec. 22, Tara and Tammy returned to the hospital with cookies, bread, candy canes and lottery tickets in tow. “This year, I felt it was important because there is so many bad things going on

go up.” The overall project will cost approximately $500,000, said Campbell, with the remainder funded through $400,000 provided by the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal’s HOME Program. “With these funds to augment those funds, it certainly makes our lives easier and also allows projects to get all of the efficiencies and eligible repairs accomplished in these owner-occupied, lowincome homes,” said Campbell. “This grant will upgrade the aging housing stock in the North Country,” Affordable Housing Corporation president and chief executive officer Priscilla Almodovar stated in a press release. “Our financings demonstrate that Governor [David A.] Paterson is committed to improving the state's housing even in these difficult economic times.” The household income limit to participate in the home renovation program is $54,566 for a family of four. Those interested in more information about the program or about Friends of the North Country may contact Campbell at 834-9606, ext. 104, or visit their office at 1 Mill St., Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.

Middle school students show their holiday spirit By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — When it comes the importance of giving back to the community, it’s a value students at Stafford Middle School have learned well. The Stafford Pride Committee, comprised of community-minded students, and the Plattsburgh Teachers Association joined together Nov. 19 through Dec. 23 to collect nonperishable food items for the Joint Council for Economic Opportunity of Clinton and Franklin Counties Food Shelf in Plattsburgh. The collection drive was part of an ongoing effort by the school to give back during the holiday season. “We ended up with well over 1,000 items,” said Jason Nisoff, one of the teachers behind coordinating the drive. “It was like a domino effect. Once one student brought something in, the rest would be more excited to bring donations in.”
“It felt good giving back to the community,” said eighth-grader Jeremy Carpenter. “Helping people is good,” said Rachel Bedard, another eighth-grade student. Sixth-grader Charlie Morgan said he enjoyed helping with the drive, having first got actively involved in community service as a student at Oak Street Elementary. “It was pretty good,” Morgan said of first getting involved. “We can’t do a lot, because we’re not the richest family, but we do what we can.” The holiday food donation hasn’t been the only cause students have helped this school year. Among other causes, students have also raised money for the Adirondack Humane Society in Plattsburgh and the Champlain Valley Search and Rescue K9 Unit in Keeseville. “It makes you feel happy and good about yourself,” eighth-grader Kelly Cantwell said about giving back to the community. “And, it makes the people we’re helping happy.”
United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc. recently received a $1,200 donation from AES Northeast, Plattsburgh. The firm — which offers architectural, engineering, land surveying and other services — decided to donate money to a local charity instead of giving gifts to their clients this year. United Way executive director John C. Bernardi, center, accepted the donation on behalf of the nonprofit organization which serves Clinton, Essex and now Franklin counties. Joining Bernardi were AES Northeast representatives David Whitford, Todd Hodgson, Wayne Ryan and Scott Allen. The firm also donated money to United Way of Fulton County where it has also performed work. Photo submitted by Kathy Snow

Oh, Cedar, that mischievous little dog T
Cedar, for those who are newcomers to this column, is the young dachshund I acquired a little more than a year ago to help me track and locate mortally wounded deer. While she’s continually making progress in that regard, she seems just as intent in wrecking my house and her digestive system through random acts of mischief.
o call my pup Cedar a hellion on four paws would be the understatement of the century. In her first year on this planet, she’s managed to chew her way through every part of my wardrobe, including no less than 20 pairs of sneakers, boots, sandals and slippers as well as dozens of electrical cords. No molding or piece of furniture in the house is sacred and she’s had an emergency operation to have only lord-knows-what removed from blocking her intestine. She ate my Oakley sunglasses. Destroyed an iPod, a Nintendo DS, two cell phones, every X-Box controller in the place and 10 remote controls. She’s eaten the antennas off both cordless phones and has reduced a rather large collection of CDs and DVDs to useless orbs covered in tiny tooth marks. Most recently, she chewed her way into my ice fishing pack apparently be-
cause I’d left a miniscule piece of jerky buried in a Zip-Lock deep in the pack’s underbelly. On her way in, she managed to ingest a plastic cup containing a dozen or so flies complete with number six hooks. I wasn’t all that worried, though, because she washed them down with five dozen Christmas cookies we received last week during a festive office cookie swap. I am not exaggerating — the dog ate 60 cookies. And, she weighs only 24 pounds. At least she used to weigh 24 pounds. I found her sprawled out afterward on the downstairs futon like an otter that had just ingested a pint-sized sumo wrestler. She looked at me drunkenly with one
paw on her protruding belly and the other across her furry forehead as if to say, “Stupid, stupid, stupid.” The dog, however, is far from stupid. Take, for example, her uncanny knack for opening the bifold doors behind which my kitchen garbage can sets. For the purpose of a mental picture, it goes down something like this: 1) Lower the head; 2) Charge the center of the door; 3) Hurtle your tiny muscle-bound body into said door; 4) Repeat until said door opens far enough to get said muzzle wedged between said door and said door casing, and ... 5) Gorge on chicken bones, fish heads, peach pits, popsicle sticks, can tops and other life-threatening scraps until the futon calls.

DEC advises backcountry visitors to be prepared for winter conditions ALBANY — The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation advises visitors to the backcountry of the Adirondacks to be prepared for snow, ice and cold, and to be sure to use the proper equipment. “While winter is an opportune time to take advantage of all that the Adirondack Park has to offer, the season can also present troublesome — even perilous — conditions to the unprepared,” state DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis said in a recent press release. “The snow cover in the Adirondacks is more than three feet deep in the higher elevations. At this time, we require visitors to the Eastern High Peaks to use
snowshoes or cross-country skis for their safety and we strongly recommend that visitors to other parts of the Adirondacks do the same.” Snowshoes or skis prevent sudden falls or “post-holing,” avoids injuries, and eases travel on snow. Ice crampons should be carried for use on icy mountaintops and other exposed areas. In addition, backcountry visitors should follow these safety guidelines: • Dress properly with layers of wool and fleece — not cotton — clothing: a wool or fleece hat, gloves or mittens, wind/rain resistant outer wear, and winter boots.
• Carry a day pack with the following contents: ice axe, plenty of food and water, extra clothing, map and compass, first-aid kit, flashlight/headlamp, sun glasses, sunblock protection, ensolite pads, stove and extra fuel, and bivy sack or space blankets. • Drink plenty of water — dehydration can lead to hypothermia. • Eat plenty of food to maintain energy levels and warmth. • Check weather before entering the woods — if the weather is poor, postpone your trip. The mountains will always be there. • Be aware of weather conditions at all
times — if weather worsens, head out of the woods. • Contact the DEC at 897-1200 to determine trail conditions in the area you plan to visit. Adirondack Trail Information can be found on the DEC Web site, www.dec.ny.gov. The site provides general information and seasonal conditions, specific notices on closures and other situations involving trails, roads, foot bridges and links to rules and regulations, hiker and camper safety, low impact recreation, weather and more.

Changes in command welcome local leaders GLENS FALLS — Morrisonville resident Margaret Malone was sworn in recently as Division 15 Commander of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, First Southern District. The event took place at the annual Division 15 Change of Watch meeting. Malone was a key organizer of Flotilla 158, formed in Plattsburgh in 2008. She has been a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary since 2001, serving as Flotilla Commander, Division Vice Commander, Instructor, Vessel Examiner, and Coxswain. She succeeds James Canavan of Queensbury. Also sworn in as Flotilla 15-8 Commander was Franklin Williams of Schuyler Falls. Having served as Vice Commander and Operations Officer for the past two years, Williams succeeds Thomas Malone. He is qualified as Boat Crew, Vessel Examiner, and ATON Verifier. Carl Duford of Peru was sworn in as Flotilla 15-8 Vice Commander. Duford has qualified
as Boat Crew, Seaman, and Communications Specialist and serves as Materials Officer. Don Craig of Saranac was recognized as New Auxiliarist of the Year. Since joining Flotilla 15-8 in 2008, Craig has qualified as Boat Crew, Seaman, and Communications Specialist and serves as Public Affairs Officer. The Auxiliary is the civilian volunteer branch of the Coast Guard. Its mission is to promote public boating safety through education, boat safety inspections and on-water safety patrols. The six flotillas in Division 15 serve Lake Champlain, Lake George, the north Hudson River, and eastern Mohawk River. They work under the direction of the Coast Guard station in Burlington, Vt. Flotilla 15-8 meets every Thursday at 7 p.m. at the South Plattsburgh Volunteer Fire Department, 4244 State Route 22. Meetings are open to the public and new members are welcome.
Sixty-five people participated in the first-ever Zumbathon fundraiser hosted at Gilligan’s Getaway in Plattsburgh Dec. 10. The event collected $800 in donations for The Christmas Bureau and 300 nonperishable food items for the Joint Council for Economic Opportunities of Clinton and Franklin Counties Food Shelf. Event co-organizer Alissa Perniciaro said “people were extremely generous” and she was “so happy with the results.”

Recycling From page 1 driveway or the garage and it continues to turn brown. I sometime see some brought in as late as the spring with spring cleaning.” The recycling program incentive, however, often brings in hundreds of trees by the close of the program, said Squier. And, it couldn’t be simpler, he added. “It’s self-service; they drive up to the brush pile, untie it from the roof of their car or off the back of their utility trailer or pickup truck and drop it off,” said Squier. “It will be very obvious where the brush pile is located.” Because they are run through a wood chipper in the spring, trees brought to the landfill brush pile must be free of lights, ornaments, tree-toppers, tinsel and tree stands, said Squier. “Running into a chipper with any of those on them would do a number on the chipper blades,” he said. Squier also noted if a tree is brought to the landfill in any sort of binding or bag, it must be removed before the tree is left in the brush pile. “I know a lot of times it’s easier to handle that way if it’s started shedding the needles off already,” said Squier, “but once they arrive at the brush pile, the outer tree bag needs to be

removed.” Squier added a trash receptacle is provided near the brush pile to discard bags and other bindings such as twine or rope. Wreaths and centerpieces are also accepted, provided those dropping them off assure they are free of any metal or other artificial framework or decorations. “The problem with most Christmas wreaths is they are mounted on either a homemade frame of metal coat hangers or the storebought metal frames and quite honestly, most people aren’t going to take the time to strip the wreaths off those metal frames,” said Squier. “And, that would raise havoc on the chipper with the presence of that metal in there. If they are going to dispose of Christmas wreaths and whatnot, the metal must be removed.” The landfill, located at 286 Sand Road, is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. Christmas trees may be dropped off during those hours only. Those wishing to dispose of their trees may also check with the respective municipal departments of public works or highway departments as well as their private trash haulers to see if tree pick-up service is offered.

fill all our obligations that we set out to do, but it was just very stressful.” Hill and Hollow was also able to arrange performances for five Battle of Plattsburgh commemoration events in September, added Brown. Though Hill and Hollow will not have a visible presence this year, the organiza-
tion will still maintain all the instruments and equipment it owns, including its grand pianos, said Brown. Now will be a time for finding ways to reduce costs, she continued, including examining doing away with a regular printed and mailed newsletter and focusing more on the organization’s Web site, www.hilland-
hollowmusic.com, which Brown said is still in need of updating. “While we’re hibernating, there’s a lot of ideas percolating,” said Brown. “There still is this niche, this need, that needs to be filled. We can’t go away forever. We just have to figure out a way to do it at less cost to everybody involved.”
