Keeping the magic alive Murder
mystery aims to kill at
Eric Maynard’s entertaining is part of a family business By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com DANNEMORA — The world of magic has captivated Eric Maynard since he was a little boy. Now 18years-old, Maynard still finds himself fascinated with what started as a hobby more than 10 years ago. “I’ve always thought magic is one of the coolest things,” said Maynard. “It’s really the best hobby in the world because it can entertain anyone of any age, from the elderly all the way down to little kids.” Though Maynard said it was his older brother who first introduced him to magic by showing him a card trick, it was his uncle, Las Vegas magician and inventor Perry Maynard, that really got him hooked. “He showed me the basics,” said Maynard, adding
he then began studying sleight of hand tricks and illusions in books and on the Internet with his uncle’s encouragement. It wasn’t long after Maynard’s uncle encouraged him to perform at the Royal Resort in Las Vegas for what he called his “first professional act.” “It was a 10-minute skit at a place where one of my uncle’s good buddies performed,” said Maynard. “It was their open mic night so they allowed me to come up and do some rope magic tricks.” “I had a great time. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime kind of things,” he added. Since then, Maynard said he’s been able to return to Las Vegas, performing with such magicians as Bill Robinson, Rudy Uresti and

It’s important for Justus to keep the organization going, he said, knowing how it is to go without during the holidays. “Some Christmases we didn’t get anything and you don’t forget
MORRISONVILLE — It’s dinner with a side of murder. Cocktails will host a murder mystery dinner show this Sunday, Jan. 24, to benefit Hospice of the North Country. Bill Clukey, entertainment director for the River Street establishment, said he’s excited to bring a show that he’s already hosted across the state. “I actually wrote this about three years ago on napkins when I was coming back on a plane from Vegas,” said Clukey. “I saw a couple shows while I was there and thought, “Hey, I could do better than these.” And, from there, Clukey’s brainchild, “The Dumbest Link,” was born. The story, said Clukey, centers on a drama behind the scenes of a game show which spoofs the once popular television quiz show, “The Weakest Link.” “There’s an argument and then the lights go out,” said Clukey. “There’s thunder and lightning and a gunshot. When the lights come back on, someone is dead.

SCHUYLER FALLS — The holidays are over, but that doesn’t mean David R. Justus’ work is over, too. The 68-year-old Schuyler Falls man runs an organization known as “Justus for the Children,” which provides toys for children at Christmastime. This past Christmas, Justus celebrated his 39th year of helping the community, but he now fears the effort may not see a 40th season. “We’re about $7,000 in the hole right now,” said Justus, who op-

Haven’t you heard? the ‘burgh is the word! Some of the ‘burgh team, from left: Senior editor Jeremiah S. Papineau, editor and staff reporter Sarah L. Cronk, and graphic designer Greg J. Hines
T
here’s been something missing in the region — a publication that reaches more than 15,000 homes and businesses in and around the city of Plattsburgh ... until now. The latest news product of Denton Publications, the ‘burgh, is that publication, offering news, features and a calendar of local events. Publisher Ed Coats said the objective of starting the ‘burgh was to give people a resource to find out what’s going on this side of Lake Champlain. “We wanted to be able to give readers something new and exciting,” said Coats. “Given the declining circulation of daily newspapers, our customers asked us to find a way to reach more people in the Plattsburgh market and we think we
have. We feel the ‘burgh is something that will not only benefit our readers, but definitely our advertisers as well.” The new publication is one Coats feels will add to the ability of Denton Publications to keep the people of the North Country informed. The community publishing firm has traditionally reached thousands of people through publications that include the Clinton County Free Trader Today and the North Countryman, and now reaches thousands more with the recent acquisition of 15 newspapers in the Syracuse and Albany regions. Starting the ‘burgh was a decision Coats said will help fill a niche locally that Denton Publications has wanted to do for some time. “For years, our organization has had one missing section in our group of papers,” said Coats. “Now, we’ll be filling that gap, giving our advertisers the ability to reach customers from the Canadian border to Glens Falls and beyond with no overlap.” Though it’s named the ‘burgh, the weekly publication will reach more than the people of the city of Plattsburgh. By directly mailing to residences and businesses in the 12901 and 12903 zip codes, the ‘burgh will also reach people in the towns of Plattsburgh and Beekmantown, including communities such as Cumberland Head and Point au Roche. That kind of circulation is exciting for Jeremiah S. Pap-
ineau, senior editor of the ‘burgh. “We’re going to have a focus on the side of Plattsburgh and the immediate surrounding area that we feel isn’t currently served as well as it could be,” said Papineau. “There’s so much going on here with entertainment and the arts, in particular, and we feel the ‘burgh can help highlight the talent we have here and all that Plattsburgh has to offer.” “We want to shine a light on what the people of Plattsburgh already know — that this region is a great place to live, work and have fun,” added Papineau. Coats said he’s “thrilled to be able to offer new, exciting content that people will want to read and not put down.” “It won’t be the same old news they’ve already seen on the 11 o’clock news the previous night,” said Coats. “We’re still going to include news of interest that many may not have seen through other sources, but we’re mainly going to have much more concentration on local events, people and businesses. Our intention is to provide something for everyone.” The faces behind the ‘burgh, in addition to Coats and Papineau, include editor and staff reporter Sarah L. Cronk, graphic designer Greg J. Hines and a sales team led by Cyndi Tucker that includes senior sales representative Ashley Tromblee.
APA public hearing Thursday regarding state lands By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com SARANAC — The state is seeking input from its residents. The Adirondack Park Agency will hold a public hearing at Saranac Town Hall next Thursday, Jan. 28, regarding the state’s proposal to reclassify state lands within the Adirondack Park. The parcels to be reclassified include a tract of land north of True Brook Road formally owned by private companies. Richard E. Weber, supervisor of regional planning for the APA, explained the state has “the legal responsibility” to examine the classification of properties within the park once they are acquired by the state. “As newly-acquired lands go into state ownership, the agency has a legal obligation to take those public lands and put them through
the state land classification process, according to Section 816 of the APA Act,” explained Weber. The process involves examining 91 parcels in 10 different counties, said Weber, who noted ones of chief interest to the people of the Saranac area would be a 17,190-acre parcel known as the Sable Highlands/Lyon Mountain Tract. “The largest tract of the entire classification package for this year is the area around Lyon Mountain,” Weber said. The purpose of the public hearing will be for the APA to take comments from those in attendance regarding how the parcels should be classified. There are seven possible classifications for the parcels, said Weber — Wilderness, Primitive, Canoe Area, Wild Forest, Intensive Use, Historic and State Administrative. Wild Forest, the least restrictive classification which allows public
access, has been advocated by the APA, state Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Saranac Town Council. That classification permits “a somewhat higher level of use, and more varied types of recreation,” explained Weber. “It does permit limited motor vehicle access,” Weber gave as an example. Other environmental groups are reportedly in favor of the Primitive designation, with the intention of having the parcel then reclassified as Wilderness, one of the most restrictive classifications. Wilderness does not permit public use of motor vehicles of any kind, said Weber, whether they be motorboats, aircrafts or snowmobiles or vehicles on roads. “We have an obligation to follow the criteria that the [Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan] has set for us as to how we look at a
classification process,” said Weber. “And, so we need to look at the various areas of resources, with those being the physical resources, the biological resources, the intangible resources which have to do with an area’s sense of remoteness or its ruggedness. Those kinds of resources that are more difficult to describe but they are real.” Weber said the APA must look at existing use on the land and the facilities that are there. “We have to look at all of those resources together to come up with a recommendation,” he said. The recommendation — which includes comments from the public — is then gathered by APA staff and given to the agency’s board of directors. The action they take, said Weber, is to either accept the recommendations or “modify the recommendations as they see fit.” However, the board’s final recommendation is merely that — a

recommendation — which is forwarded on to Gov. David A. Paterson for a final decision. “It’s the governor that ultimately puts into effect the recommended classification of the land,” said Weber.

Nova Bus gets new contract By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — There’s more business in store for one of the local automotive industry’s biggest players. Nova Bus has been awarded a contract from Connecticut Transit to provide 35 LFS Artic buses, with options on an additional 35 articulated vehicles over a four-year period. The value of the order is approximately $60 million. According to Nova Bus, CT Transit selected a mix of clean-diesel and hybrid drives for its articulated vehicles, with deliveries starting in late 2010. CT Transit divisions
serve seven metropolitan areas throughout the state of Connecticut, including Hartford, New Haven and Stamford. The contract is one Nova Bus marketing director Nadine Bernard said the company looks forward to fulfilling through its Banker Road assembly plant. “We are proud to partner with CT Transit in delivering their first articulated vehicles for their fleet,” said Bernard. “We are deeply committed to supplying them with the vehicles that meet their expectations.” Bernard C. Bassett, Plattsburgh Town Supervisor, said the contract is a good economic sign for not only Nova Bus, but the town and surrounding area as well. “It’s certainly good news for Nova Bus
Correction
and their employees, but it also speaks well to our region,” said Bassett. “I think there was a sense by some people that once Nova Bus began production, it would be difficult to maintain enough orders to sustain employment levels. Thankfully, with good news like this, that’s not the case.” Bassett said he expects the contract would mean visits from CT Transit representatives to the Plattsburgh facility, which would equate to dollars spent on dining and lodging. “They may need to come out here several times and that would mean they’d be staying in our hotels and eating at our restaurants, who would all benefit,” said Bassett. “Then, they may find they’d like to return to

great place to find deals or dispose of things no longer needed is the on-line auction service eBay. With millions of potential buyers and sellers, the site has become a favorite place for some and a vocation for others. Here are a few tips to using the service. For many users, eBay is a browsing experience. We fire up the PC, open and point our browser to the eBay Web address, eBay.com, and start searching for deals or the status of previous transactions. It doesn’t have to be that way. Go to desktop.ebay.com and download eBay Desktop, an application for both Windows and Mac platforms that brings a whole new set of tools to the table. The free application brings functionality not available in a browser like a real-time counter that shows the time left for an auction and alerts when the bid is no longer the highest. What’s the worst problem with eBay? Many users will say last-minute sniping, the term used to describe the frenzy of bids during the final moments of an auction. For many items it’s a fairly normal activity that somewhat depends on the
auction ending time or the interest level of the item. One program that addresses the problem is called JBidwatcher, available for Windows, Mac and other platforms. The application allows the user to track multiple auctions and submit bids automatically. Visit www.jbidwatcher.com for more info. Sellers maximize return by correctly listing items which includes, among other requirements, correct spelling. The last tip works on the notion sellers occasionally misspell part of the listing which may prevent the intended audience from seeing the item.

n estimated one in four adults is afflicted with a condition known as Metabolic syndrome, and many don’t even know it; therefore we should consider it a “Silent Epidemic.” This condition is linked to obesity and lack of exercise and puts you at risk of developing serious health problems. What is Metabolic syndrome? According to the National Cholesterol Education Panel, if you have at least three of the following characteristics, you are considered to have the syndrome: • Abdominal obesity • Triglyceride levels of 15 or higher • HDL (good cholesterol) of less than 40 in men and less than 50 in women • Blood pressure of 130/85 or higher • Fasting blood sugar of 110 or more. The more characteristics you have the greater your risk. According to the panel, 44 percent of adults have Metabolic syndrome. What causes it? A diet high in unhealthy fats, sugars and calories, along with lack of regular physical activity can contribute to the risk factors for metabolic syndrome. Overweight people tend to develop a resistance to insulin, which
regulates blood sugar levels. With insulin resistance, blood sugar is not effectively delivered to cells, which leads to higher blood sugar levels in the blood, one of the symptoms of Type II diabetes. To lower your odds of developing the risk for Metabolic syndrome, make sure your diet is full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products. Whole grain carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables tend to be absorbed slowly by the body and help to normalize blood sugar levels. Stay active: Exercise helps to burn fat (especially around the waist), increases good cholesterol, and lowers blood pressure. So, add preventing Metabolic syndrome to the long list of benefits that can result from a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

Do everyday low prices beat couponing?
L
ast week, I touched on a topic that’s of intense interest among my SuperCouponing students: where do shoppers get the best deal, at a supermarket or a supercenter? The former has a reputation among most shoppers for being “more expensive;” the latter is widely considered to be the better value due to its “everyday low pricing.” But savvy shoppers know the sale prices of the supermarket almost always beat the everyday prices of the supercenter. To test the idea, I recently took a field trip of sorts and compared prices on more than 20 common items at both types of stores. Here’s a sample of the price differences I found on six popular name brand products at an “everyday low price” supercenter (ELP) and at a supermarket (SM). Single-serve fruit cup: $1.97 ELP / $1.50 SM Half-gallon organic milk: $3.50 ELP / $3.99 SM Frozen pizza: $4.75 ELP / $4.99 SM Dishwasher detergent tablets: $4.26 ELP / $3.99 SM 4-pound bag of dog food: $6.97 ELP / $4.99 SM Juice pouches: $1.98 ELP / $1.49 SM I found the everyday low prices at the supercenter were higher, in most cases, than the prices for the same products at the supermarket. Many shoppers believe using coupons to buy products at the supercenter with its everyday low pricing will save them as much, if not more, than watching for sales at a supermarket and using coupons there. This is just not the case. As you will see, on my shopping trip I bought milk and pizza at the supermarket and paid significantly less for them than I would have paid at the supercenter using the same coupons. Let me walk you through the numbers. During my comparison-shopping trip, the supermarket was running an additional promotion. If you spent $30 on featured items you received a coupon at checkout good for $10 off your next shopping trip. So, a third of my supermarket expenditure would be returned to me in the form of a Catalina coupon printed out at the register. That coupon is just like a $10 bill I can use the next time I shop at the store. Now, considering a third of what I pay is coming back to me, the comparison really gets interesting. Here’s what the prices on my individual purchases at the supermarket now look like with the Catalina savings figured in: Fruit cup: $1.97 ELP / $.99 SM Organic milk: $3.50 ELP / $2.63 SM
Frozen pizza: $4.75 ELP / $3.29 SM Dishwasher tablets: $4.26 ELP / $2.63 SM Dog food: $6.97 ELP / $3.29 SM Juice pouches: $1.98 ELP / $.98 SM Notice the prices of the milk and pizza, originally more expensive at the supermarket, have now dipped well below the supercenter ’s prices. And, we haven’t added in savings from our coupons in yet! Here are the coupons I used with these items, along with the post-coupon prices at both stores: $1 coupon for fruit cup. After coupon: $.97 ELP / - $.01-SM $.55 coupon for organic milk: $2.95 ELP / By Jill Cataldo $2.08 SM $3 coupon for frozen pizza: $1.75 ELP / $.29 SM $2.50 coupon for dishwasher tablets: $1.76 ELP / $.13 SM $3 coupon for dog food: $3.97 ELP / $.29 SM $1 coupon for juice pouches: $.98 ELP / -$.02 SM At the supermarket, I ended up paying significantly less than if I had used my coupons to purchase the same items at the supercenter. Both the fruit cup and the juice pouches were not only free after the coupon, but the store paid me a few cents in overage to take them home. And, I certainly couldn’t have taken a frozen pizza or a bag of dog food home for less than 30 cents each at a supercenter! By the end of my shopping trip, the difference between the prices in both items was incredible. The total cost of the 21 products I purchased at the supermarket was $13.13. At the supercenter, the same products would have cost me $42.58, even with the same coupons. I’ve got the full list of items on my coupon blog, www.jillcataldo.com, under the heading “Supermarket vs. Supercenter” if you’d like to see the rest of the items I purchased during this shopping trip. A supermarket’s sale prices will typically beat the everyday low prices of a supercenter and if the store is running a money-back promotion on top of the sale, you can cut your bill even further. I saved about 69 percent over the supercenter ’s prices on the same items during this promotion!

Local Pizza Hut raises $1,000 for Family Promise School district public By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Pizza Hut has raised some major dough to help the less fortunate. The Cornelia Street Pizza Hut recently donated $1,000 to Family Promise of Clinton County, an organization which provides shelter and meals for families who find themselves without a home. The money was raised through donations made to Pizza Hut’s World Hunger Relief effort. Restaurant general manager Dan LaPierre said $2,700 was raised between the Cornelia Street and U.S. Avenue locations to help fight world hunger. The $1,000 donation to Family Promise was a percentage kept local, he said. “It was awesome. Everyone was fully invested in getting behind the effort,” said
LaPierre. Lead server Jennifer Castine said she was impressed by the generosity of her patrons. “As difficult as the times have been, they were pretty generous,” said Castine. “We had a lot come in donate again and again and again.” “A lot of my regular customers donated every week and that helped a lot,” added shift manager Tammy Fournia. Family Promise director Maureen Bradish said the donation was “a total surprise.” “I feel very honored they picked our organization,” said Bradish. “With times the way they are, we’re all having a harder time to maintain our budgets, so we feel very privileged for this donation.” Overall, Daland Corporation, the parent corporation of the two restaurants, raised $82,000.

PERU — The Peru Central School District will hold a public forum this Mondau, Jan. 25, in the community room of Peru High School, 17 School St. The forum, hosted by Peru Central’s Budget Advisory Committee, will begin at 6 p.m. The forum will be the first in a series of three winter 2010 public forums focused on school budget factors, priorities for improvement, state aid revenues, and current staffing patterns. According to information from district superintendent A. Paul Scott, the forum will start with distribution of pertinent information. District residents will engage in small group discussions focused on staffing patterns, priorities for the future, priorities for the state Legislature and Governor David A. Paterson’s Executive Budget proposal. The last segment will feature a brief stakeholder survey, focused on topics similar to what will be discussed at the public forum. The budget advisory committee will use the results of the survey to help with crafting recommendations to the board of education. For more information, call 643-6000.
Winter birdfeeding can be easy if done right F
eeding birds during the middle of a chilly winter can be an easy and rewarding hobby. Whether you are a novice or experienced backyard birder, here are some suggestions to get the most enjoyment out of winter bird feeding. First, think about your feeder, or should I say feeders since having a number of different birdfeeders available will attract the greatest number of bird species. Winter birdfeeders should all have several things in common. Winter feeders should have a wide cover over the feeding ports, perches, and dispensing trays to see they're is not buried during snowfall events. Next, place the feeders in a sheltered location so the birds are not in severe winter winds. Placing the feeders close to the house can help provide shelter from the wind and can keep the birds visible for indoor bird watching. Keep the feeders at least five feet away from walls or windows to help prevent collisions. The birds will also like being near protective cover such as hedges or a brush pile. These offer birds safety from predators. If you can protect your feeders from moisture, you can opt for larger feeders that reduce the number of times you need to refill
them. If the seed is not protected from moisture it may grow mold before it is consumed. Mold, mildew, and other unhealthy conditions can foster disease among backyard bird populations. To help prevent this, discard soggy or icy seed and let the feeder dry before refilling. Feeders that get moldy can be sterilized with a 10 percent bleach solution. And, platform feeders should be emptied and refilled daily to prevent mildew and spoilage. During the winter, birds are attracted to high energy foods. These are foods with a high fat or oil content such as sunflower seed, hulled peanuts, peanut butter, white millet seed, and suet. Providing birds with clean, high energy food is a great way to add some interest to your landscape. I know everyone in my family — kids and cats included — love watching birds flock to the feeder.

Market Basket prices drop for year T
he 41 items in the Market Basket came in at $94.26, down from $95.52 in November, and from last December ’s cost of $95.60. Prices were down or held steady in every category. For the year, increases in frozen foods, meats and miscellaneous items were offset by decreases in produce, canned goods, drinks, breads, cereals and grains and dairy products. Although the cost of most canned goods remained stable, a 9 percent drop on store brand diced tomatoes caused the category to drop 4 percent overall All other prices in this category are virtually unchanged from December 2008. Meat prices were also stable for the month, though up 4 percent for the year. Center cut pork chops and bottom round roast were the best bargains. Items in the dairy case dropped again in December but skim and whole milk prices went from unchanged last month to slight increases this month, reversing a long trend downwards. Frozen foods saw little change for the month, with the prices on store brand unbreaded haddock, vanilla ice cream, orange juice concentrate and chopped spinach all down slightly for the year. In the breads, cereals and grains department, store brand white bread is down 31 percent and
spaghetti 10 percent for the year, reflecting lower wheat prices in 2009. Produce prices also fell in December, with the biggest decrease being on 10 pounds of white potatoes. Bananas are a full 22 percent cheaper this year, down to 56 cents a pound. Drink prices were down on coffee and tea bags for both the month and year. Miscellaneous items cost nearly the same as last month, but a 16 percent increase on Oreo cookies for the year drove the overall category up 7 percent.
Seasonal reminder Apples, pears, and seedless red and green grapes are in good supply. Just as everyone needs Vitamin C to combat winter colds, grapefruit and oranges are at their peak, and will be in good supply through April. We have become used to the availability of peaches, cherries, plums, nectarines, and other summer fruits all year, but prices are high. The Market Basket Report is a bi-monthly survey of 41 food items commonly purchased by consumers. Three major supermarkets are surveyed in the Plattsburgh area and the resulting report produced. The report is a community service sponsored by the Technical Assistance Center at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.

My journey to the half-marathon
By Martha Breyette
(Editors Note: Martha Breyette of Saranac is on a 14-week goal to get in shape to compete in the first half-marathon in Plattsburgh, Sunday, April 18. Breyette will share her trials and tribulations in this newspaper through a weekly journal entry.)
Week One
A
s I start to journal, I think about this week and what I have accomplished. I focus on day-to-day achievements. Exercising has become a routine for me so far and my diet changes haven’t been that hard to maintain. I am starting to see some small physical changes; that is really exciting. I feel better every day for doing something for myself. Every now and then, I sneak in a diet soda as a reward for myself, but other than that, I am sticking to my diet — more protein and less carbohydrates. My biggest goal this week was running four miles on Sunday. I didn’t think I could do it, but I did. That has motivated me to keep
moving this week. I have tried spin class and toning class this week as well as running. I hope that this will turn into habits that I can easily maintain. Right now, I am exercising about 30-40 minutes a day, four days a week. During the weekend, I try to go for about an hour-run. I usually take off one day on the weekend to spend with my family and one night during the week as a rest for myself. For those of you saying “that sounds great but I don’t have the time” — I felt the same way. I am learning that taking a little bit of time for myself reaps so many rewards like sleeping better, playing more with my daughter, and a more positive attitude. Just try one or two days a week even — find a buddy and start moving.

We’ve been doing a lot of rehearsals for the past six weeks and they’ve been great,” said Clukey, who added he also considers the audience part of the ensemble. The main thing Clukey said he’s focusing on now is promotion of this Sunday’s show. Since the event will benefit Hospice, an organization which assists people with end-of-life care, Clukey said both he and Cocktails owner Vanessa Staples are hoping for a good turnout. “Vanessa’s donating the food and we’re donating the profits from the ticket sales to Hospice,” said Clukey. “We’d like to raise a nice amount for them. Especially because the money stays local.” Amanda M. Bow, director of development for Hospice of the North Country, said the organization was pleased to learn Staples and Clukey chose them to

Kidney Disease 101
Justus From page 1 that because when you’d go to school, all the other kids had new stuff and you’d get made fun of,” said Justus. “Kids can be cruel. I said then if there was any way in hell I could do it, I’d make sure other kids would have plenty to eat and they’d have a good Christmas.” When he started Justus for the Children in 1960, it was by no means the organization it is today, which has helped as many as 1,000 kids during a holiday season. “When I started out, we helped two families that had about six children altogether,” said Justus. “I thought that was great. Last year, we helped 727 kids.” Justus credits that to the help he’s been receiving from the American Legion Post 1619 in West Plattsburgh and members of the New York State Corrections Officer and Police Benevolent Association. “That makes all the difference in the world, getting help from organizations that care,” said Justus. “They go right out of their way to help. We couldn’t do it without them.

We just couldn’t afford it.” As he sat in the enclosed porch of his Soper Street home, Justus said he and his wife aren’t well-off by any means. A small room off of his porch holds what few toys are left over from his Christmas distribution. “It takes about 4,000 toys just to start this thing at Christmastime,” said Justus. “Every year, we’re borrowing money, taking out another mortgage on the house and paying it off to do this. It seems like by the time we have it paid off, it’s time to start in again.” “So far, we’re holding our own,” said Justus. “But, just barely. We’re just trying to keep above water.” In addition to providing toys for children at Christmas, Justus and his wife operate a food pantry from their home. That effort is something Justus said has been more difficult to sustain since the nation went into a recession, but remains needed nonetheless. “We’re feeding eight families right now out of here,” said Justus. “And, that’s diffi-
cult because our food shelf is the lowest we’ve seen in probably two years. It’s a good expense in itself.” Stocking the shelves with milk, cereal, canned goods and items like baby formula and diapers, isn’t easy, said Justus. “We give them what we’ve got,” he said. “Sometimes, we don’t have what they need but we do our best to set them up with something.” Despite the financial challenge, Justus said he and his wife want to keep doing what they can to help their community. They’re just hoping others will step up to the plate to give them a helping hand. “We’re getting to the age where you ask yourself how deep can you dig your hole before you can’t get out of it,” said Justus. “But, I think getting up Christmas morning and knowing what we’ve accomplished is the joy of it. I don’t want to see a kid go without Christmas.” Over the years, Justus said he’s also seen children he’s helped come back to pay thanks when they’re older, which helps fuel his motiva-

When he was first starting out, Maynard admitted he “didn’t know much about how to entertain.” “Eventually, I learned to respond to the audience’s reactions,” he said. “I wanted to interact more with them so I merged comedy with my performance. There are some tricks that I do that it’s pretty obvious what I’m doing, but the part that adds to it is when some people don’t know about it, others do.” Maynard, who admitted he can be “a bit of a comedian at times,” said he thought adding comedy into his routine would not only entertain his audiences but help expand his following as well. “It definitely gets a better reaction from the audience because it’s more personal,” he said. “I think interacting with the audience, especially for laughter, is really important.” “I love making people laugh. It’s one of my favorite things to do,” he added.
tion to continue helping others “Some of them will come back and drop off some money or food or something to say thank you for helping,” said Justus. “That means the world to you, right there.” “I wish we were financially able to do more than what we do, but we’re just not,” Justus added. “That’s why anything anyone can do is appreciated. Every little bit helps.” Those interested in helping the Justuses in their mission may reach them at 643-0855.

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL
THE LAW
• Write down where you are going, your route, time of departure and return. You should never travel alone, always try to find a partner to travel with. • Ensure your snowmobile is in good working condition, lots of gas and oil for your trip, spare drive belt and spark plugs. Be sure headlights and taillights are working and free of snow. • Ensure you dress properly. Clothing should be put on in layers. If you become too hot and your clothing traps the moisture, you will become cold. Cotton is inappropriate as it does not wick moisture but rather stays wet. Try wearing Wool, Polypropylene, or Polar Fleece. Outer layers should be water repellent and wind proof. For this, nothing is better than Gore-Tex. • Do not drink and drive. Alcohol is involved in 70% of snowmobiling related deaths. Alcoholic beverage consumption, combined with riding after dark are the leading causes of snowmobile related deaths.
Youth ages 14 through 17 years old may operate a snowmobile, on lands upon which snowmobiling is allowed, without adult or other supervision if they have completed a snowmobile safety training course recognized by the State of New York. If youth ages 14 through 17 years have not completed the training course, they may operate a snowmobile if accompanied by (within 500 feet of) a person who is at least 18 years of age. Youth ages 10 through 13 may operate a snowmobile, on lands upon which snowmobiling is allowed, if they have completed a snowmobile safety training course recognized by the State of New York and are accompanied by (within 500 feet of) a person who is at least 18 years of age. Children less than age 14 without a safety certificate may operate a snowmobile only on lands owned or leased by their parent or guardian.

TNA Wrestling By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Total Nonstop Action Wrestling is back for more. The second-largest wrestling organization in the world is returning Friday, Feb. 19, to host a special TNA Live! event at the City of Plattsburgh Recreation Center on the PARC Oval. This will be the third time TNA Wrestling has stopped by the city by the lake, and it’s a venue the organization couldn’t be happier with, said promoter Chris Thomas. “Obviously, the fans there are super supportive,” Thomas said during a phone interview from his office in Nashville, Tenn. “They always show up in droves. It’s exciting to come back because they demanded it.” The card — which is subject to change, with more wrestlers to be announced — is expected to include TNA founder and wrestling superstar Jeff Jarrett and TNA world champion A.J. Styles, as well as famous personalities D’Angelo “The Pope” Dinero and Homicide. Beer Money — the tag team of James Storm and Robert Roode — is also expected to be among headliners.
“They were the fastest rising tag team in TNA and now, they’re one of the most decorated tag teams,” said Thomas. “They’re phenomenal.” In addition to offering a “great show,” Thomas said TNA Wrestling prides itself on being “on the forefront of technology,” with footage from events like the upcoming one in Plattsburgh streamed on the organization’s Web site, www.tnawrestling.com. The Plattsburgh show will also give fans a chance to interact with TNA through the popular on-line blog site, Twitter, Thomas said. Ring announcer Jeremy Borash will hide a backstage pass at the recreation center just prior to the show, “Tweeting” [that’s fancy Internet-speak for posting a message on Twitter] its location. “[The fans] get to feel that excitement before they even get in the doors,” said Thomas. Fans will also have the chance to get autographs and meet the stars of the sixsided ring at the conclusion of the event. “So, kids, teenagers, 70year-old grandfathers get to meet their heroes and the larger-than-life characters they watch on TV and shake

their hands,” said Thomas, emphasizing the show will be a “family-friendly” event. “It’s definitely a show filled with just about everything.” The success of TNA Wrestling and its ability to bring shows to Plattsburgh is something Thomas credits to the support of the fans, he said. “It’s fueled by them,” said Thomas. “They keep watch-
ing, keep tuning in and keep coming out to the live events. It’s just getting better and better.” General admission, midgrade ringside and gold circle ringside seats tickets are available at Fantasy, 31 Plattsburgh Plaza, and the Flynn Center in Burlington, Vt., by calling the box office at 1-802-863-5966 or visiting www.flynntix.org.

CLINTON TODAY - 11
Lucky deer ... at least so far T
he winter of 2009-10 is now officially five weeks old and I’m pleased to say I think the deer have had it fairly easy so far. I did a little post-season scouting the other day and found deer to still be in their natural patterns — moving around freely and feeding with little trouble. I saw no real signs of yarding yet and even some late season breeding activity. Hope the mild weather keeps up for at least a few more weeks. In the meantime, I’ve been out on the ice probably a dozen times and have to say I haven’t personally seen the treacherous ice conditions the U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies have warned about. In fact, conditions are not at all unlike the past few years. That’s not to say dangerous ice doesn’t exist, I am just saying ice fishing opportunities are out there for those who use their heads. I’ve seen upward of two feet of ice on some of the smaller ponds already, and popular fishing destinations like Lake Eaton, Long Lake, Raquette Lake, Indian Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, Eagle Lake, Paradox Lake, Brant Lake and most of Schroon Lake all hold fishable ice. Many of the bays on Lake George and southern Lake Champlain are also buttoned up — with about a foot of good black ice on Port Henry’s Bulwagga Bay. Obviously, these conditions change daily, so be sure and call a local bait shop before planning a trip.
4 p.m. with $1,500 in prizes. Also, today is the Dunham’s Bay Fish & Game Club’s annual Stanley Yurgatis family fishing derby on Glen Lake. Perhaps the region’s largest derby — the Tupper Lake Challenge — will take place this year Feb. 6 on Simon Pond just south of the village of Tupper Lake. This is a $30,000 tournament and attracts hundreds of anglers. For more information, call 359-9715. The Bolton Classic, sponsored by the Glens Falls Kiwanis Club and the Chinga-Classic, Camp Chingachgook’s annual fund-raising derby, take place on Lake George the weekend of Feb. 20-21. The Bolton Classic is a one-day derby on Saturday, Feb. 20, at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Bolton. Call 743-1116 for more information.
