‘Fortune Cookies’ program encourages teens in reading

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com DANNEMORA — Reading can indeed be fun.

The Fortune Cookies teen program began three years ago at Dannemora Free Library, with the help of former library director Niki Kourofsky.

During the school year, teenagers from age 13-18 come to the library for a monthly meeting where they tie in a book with a special activity.

For example, current library director Laura Pritchard chose a book titled, “Shiva’s Fire,” which is about a girl from India who wants to dance.

“So, we went and got some Indian food and cooked it up and ate it, and

we did henna tattoos and stuff,” Pritchard explained.

“We try to make the activity we do go with the book we read.”

The program also continues in the summer months, although it usually follows the statewide teen program set up by the New York State Library.

Now that September has arrived, students are heading back to school, which Pritchard finds to be an opportune time to join The Fortune Cookies.

“When teenagers or any student of any age reads outside of school, it increases their reading comprehension everywhere. Not just outside of school but in school,” explained

Participants in The Fortune Cookies, the teen program at Dannemora Free Library, dress up in bubblewrap during a Project Runway fashion show held at the beginning of the summer. The teens are, from left, Rachel Tobin, John Sheraldy, Lexi Haley, Megan Mangum, and Nathan Bedell.

SARANAC — The Saranac Central School District will begin classes for the 2009-10 school year earlier than other school districts within Clinton County.

Seven-year-old boy has dream come true through Make-A-Wish Dylan Monty gets to visit John Deere headquarters

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com SARANAC. — John Deere has made a wish come true.

Last month, 7-year-old Dylan Monty of Saranac had a wish fulfilled he’s waited more than half his life to enjoy.

Monty was diagnosed with acute leukemia in September 2005, and immediately health care providers at Vermont Children’s Hospital, where Monty was being treated, advised his parents to look into the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“In Vermont, they kind of push it,” explained Monty’s mother, Anne Breyette. “They let you know that you’re [eligible] for a Make-AWish and he has been a John Deere fanatic since he was a little, tiny boy.”

According to Breyette, the whole family has always been a fan of John Deere, with items filling up their cabinets and cupboards, and Monty is no exception.

“His room is full,” Breyette said.

“From his curtains, to his blankets, to everything.”

So, when it came time for Monty to choose his wish, his choice was obvious — to visit the John Deere headquarters in Moline, Ill. “He thought that would be really different,” said Breyette. “Because, we could go to Disney if we wanted to, but the John Deere factory is something you have to be a VIP to get in.”

However, Breyette explained they wanted Monty to wait for his wish until he was older and healthier.

“He was what they call a ‘rapid

responder,’ so he responded very well to all the medications,” said Breyette. “He really did very well but it was still a tough thing for the first year of treatment.”

Now in remission, Monty’s treatment ended last month, which happened to be when John Deere was able to make his wish come true.

“John Deere didn’t have a whole lot of options as to when we could come, so we had like 12 days notice that we were going to go,” recalled Breyette. “A month before we went [Make-A-Wish] told us that they didn’t think it would happen this summer, that John Deere didn’t have anything available. They had cutbacks and they just weren’t going to be able to make it happen.”

Make-A-Wish asked if Monty wanted to change his wish, but he preferred to wait until he could go to John Deere.

“Then, all of a sudden, they called,” said Breyette.

On July 12, a limousine picked up Monty and his family at their home and brought them to Albany, where they boarded a train to Moline.

“It’s John Deere heaven in Moline, Ill.,” said Breyette.

Monty, along with his mother, father Dana, and sister Abigail, stayed in the Radisson Hotel at the John Deere headquarters. They visited the John Deere Pavilion, store, and test site, where they were greeted by hundreds of John Deere employees.

“He was a little intimidated because it was very overwhelming,” said Breyette. “We were definitely treated like royalty.”

Seven-year-old Dylan Monty sits in a John Deere tractor during his trip to the John Deere headquarters last month for his Make-A-Wish.

“We were glad to get home where nobody knew us,” she added with a laugh.

While at the test site, Monty was allowed to dig a whole with an excavator and drive a combine.

“The test site was his favorite,” Breyette said. “He did drive a combine; he literally drove behind the wheel.”

However, the surprises didn’t stop there.

Employees of John Deere pooled their money and resources together and sent Monty home with all

the John Deere products he could ever want.

“From blankets, to sweatshirts, to T-shirts, to baseballs. He got a new John Deere backpack, new John Deere lunch pail to start school with. I mean everything you can even imagine,” said Breyette.

“Tractors, upon tractors, upon tractors.”

Monty also received his own child-size John Deere Gator. There was so much stuff, Breyette said they had to ship everything to them on a freight truck.

“It was even too much for UPS,” she said.

Breyette advises anyone who’s eligible for a Make-A-Wish to make one.

“Make it a real wish because Make-A-Wish can really do whatever your child really really wants,” Breyette said.

“John Deere is wonderful,” she added. “If your kids like tractors, John Deere goes above and beyond and we really appreciate what John Deere did.”

Benefit Sunday at Naked Turtle to help Gordon Hazel with medical expenses PLATTSBURGH — When Gordon J. Hazel was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two years ago, he admits he didn’t know how much longer he had to live.

“The doctors at that time thought I might live months, not years,” said Hazel. “I’ve been very lucky.”

The 62-year-old Plattsburgh resident and retired director of the Joint Council for Economic Opportunity for Clinton and Franklin Counties, credits his extended longevity to specialized clinical treatments he was receiving through the Cancer Treatment Center of America in Philadelphia, Pa. The treatments were successful in reducing the cancerous tumors that had invaded his body, said Hazel, but when he and his wife, Kathleen, traveled to Myrtle Beach, S.C., and attempted to continue the treatments there, Hazel said he was informed by his insurance company they’d no longer foot the bill.

“I got a letter from the insurance company saying that they were no longer going to pay for those treatments because there was nothing that proved they were safe, effective or added to a person’s quality of life,” he said.

Hazel filed an official appeal against the insurance company’s decision, providing copies of his treatment records from Philadelphia,

“The biggest thing we can learn from this benefit is this is what insurance companies do to people, and somehow, we’ve got to fix that,” said Hazel’s son.

which showed improvements in his health following the procedures, he said.

However, it wasn’t enough, and Hazel lost his appeal.

“Quite frankly, it wasn’t about safety, effectiveness or quality of life,” said Hazel.

“In my opinion, it was about money. Because of those treatments, I’ve survived a couple of years, even though those treatments were expensive.”

The insurance company could not furnish him with information that proved the treatments weren’t safe or effective, said Hazel, even when he asked for a letter to that effect.

“I asked them to send me a letter stating they weren’t safe, because if they would have, I would have stopped [the treatments],” said Hazel.

“I would do anything to myself that wasn’t safe.”

But, the insurance company never did, he said. In fact, Hazel was informed if he were to continue the treatments, he’d have to do so at his own expense, which is something he said he couldn’t afford.

The potential silver lining to Hazel’s dark cloud, however, was the agreement by the Cancer Treatment Center of America hospital in Philadelphia to resume Hazel’s treatments for him until further appeals are decided with the insurance company, he said. Hazel, who is now back in Plattsburgh, has been traveling to Philadelphia several times a month for the treatments, but

ooking to buy a new computer but waiting for the debut of Windows 7? There may be no need to wait any longer.

As we approach the October launch date of Windows 7, Microsoft has released details on how current Windows users may upgrade to the new operating system. For people who recently bought a system, osnews.com is reporting if you bought “…a Windows Vista machine after July 1, 2009, you will get a free upgrade to Windows 7 once it’s released.”

That good news is tempered with some restrictions that make the upgrades very narrow. For instance, it is reported users can upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium but not from say Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional.

That means anyone purchasing now should do a little research on the version of Vista to select in order to get the desired version of Windows 7. Also, make sure the company selling the computer will in fact participate in the free upgrade program. If money is a little tight, know there are plenty of free third-party applications that nicely replace features missing from Windows “premium” versions.

The October issue of Maximum PC has an article stating current users of Windows XP and Windows Vista may have

an option to buy a $50 upgrade edition of Windows 7.

That is a very attractive option, especially for anyone who bought a retail version of Windows XP since its release in 2001. Think about it, users who did that have received up to eight years of use that now turns into an attractive option to upgrade inexpensively. The article goes on to say the details are a little “obscured” surrounding the upgrade and to stay tuned as changes may occur.

State agencies sound warning of lottery scams

T

he New York State Consumer Protection Board and the New York State Lottery have teamed up to alert New Yorkers to an increase in lottery scams. Unscrupulous marketers use the telephone, faxes, e-mail, and cell phone (mobile) text messages to connect with potential victims and lure them into their traps. Working with wellknown lottery personality Yolanda Vega, the two state agencies have produced audio and video public service announcements in English and Spanish to raise awareness among consumers of diverse backgrounds about the scams.

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service estimates consumers spend approximately $120 million a year in responding to foreign lottery mailings. In July 2009, the FBI arrested11 people in Israel on charges of a phony “Lottery Prize” scheme that targeted elderly victims in the U.S. from approximately 2005 through 2009.

The scheme identified victims through the purchase of information broker lists of U.S. residents who subscribed to sweepstakes lotteries. The scam involved calling the victims and informing them they had won a substantial cash prize, but they had to pay a significant fee and taxes to obtain the prize.

The CPB advises consumers to: • Ignore an e-mail or advertisement seeking personal in-

formation like bank account or Social Security numbers.

• Never pay an up-front fee to claim lottery winnings.

• Disregard lottery prize notifications sent by bulk mail, even if it’s addressed to you, because they’re fake.

• Never enter international lotteries from within the U.S. In fact, it is against federal law to do so.

• Ignore notices claiming you won a prize for a lottery if you haven’t bought or been given a ticket.

Consumers wishing to provide information to law enforcement and/or receive notice of future developments in the FBI case are advised to contact the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, at 1-866-874-8900.

Loyalty programs can yield big pay days

W

hile it’s exciting to cut your grocery bill significantly with coupons, there are great ways to save on non-food items, too, especially personal care and cleaning products. Many national drugstore chains offer what the retail industry refers to as “loyalty programs” that often feature special deals on items in these categories. These store loyalty programs include coupons for store credit that shoppers receive when they purchase one or more of the promoted products.

So how do these promotions work? Here’s an example. In my drugstore’s weekly flier, the store advertises if I buy a certain brand of shampoo for $3.99, I will get a $3 coupon at checkout. This coupon is good for a $3 reduction on any product sold in the store. It’s almost like a gift card. I can use the $3 credit to buy anything I want, it’s not tied to any specific item. These coupons typically bear a statement such as, “Good for $3 off your next purchase.” However, unlike a gift card, these coupons carry an expiration date, just as a traditional coupon does. This is the “loyalty” part of the program. The drugstore wants you to come back in over the next few weeks and shop again.

Since I will pay $3.99 for the shampoo but will immediately receive $3 back at checkout for use on a future trip, the actual cost of the shampoo to me is just 99 cents. The $3 I spent on the shampoo comes right back to me in the form of store credit — the checkout coupon.

Now, it’s always fun to get money back when you shop. But the wonderful thing about loyalty programs is you can use coupons on the items involved in these promotions. And, using coupons in conjunction with the loyalty savings often results in big savings to you, the shopper.

With the shampoo example above, let’s add a coupon into the mix. For this brand of shampoo, I had a $2 manufacturer coupon. So, with the coupon my $3.99 bottle of shampoo cost just $1.99 — and I also received that $3 coupon for my next shopping trip. This deal just became what I like to call a “mon-

eymaker!” When we figure that $3 coupon into the equation, I paid less than $2 for the shampoo and got $3 back. The store paid me $1.01 to take that shampoo home.

You may wonder how often drugstores feature loyalty sales such as this. The answer? Almost every week!

Check the fliers of the large drugstore chains in your area and look for items with text near them indicating they

By Jill Cataldo will “pay you back” a certain dollar amount in coupons for purchasing the item. These kinds of payback deals are frequent and plentiful.

So what kinds of items are included in these sales? Almost every kind of personal care item you can imagine: toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, razors, shaving products, makeup, even over-the-counter medicines are featured regularly. Household cleaners, air fresheners, laundry and dish detergent are often included in these sales, too. If you use coupons in conjunction with the items involved, you can often get the items in question for less than a dollar, and many times, completely free. Better yet, there are times when the store will be “paying” you to take things home too. And any time the store is paying me to shop, I’m smiling all the way to the checkout lane!

ADK Jazz Orchestra bringing together North Country talent Musicians to start performing monthly at Olive Ridley’s

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The melodic sounds of the Adirondack Jazz Orchestra have been sporadic arrangements played only a few times a year and only heard by those fortunate enough to catch them on those rare occasions — until now.

The big band music group — which consists of musicians from across Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties — has coordinated with the management of Olive Ridley’s, a restaurant and bar in the city of Plattsburgh, to begin performing regularly at the popular downtown establishment.

Matthew Pray, musical director of the Adirondack Jazz Orchestra, said the partnership with Olive Ridley’s has been the kind of thing the group has been working toward since its inception in November 2003.

“Basically, until now, we’d only play like once or twice a year,” explained Pray.

The beginnings of the Adirondack Jazz Orchestra were very humble when the group formed nearly six years ago. Pray, who was then a trumpet player at the Crane School of Music at the State University of New York at Potsdam, was on the cusp of graduation and was wondering where he would take his talent from there.

“I was going around asking everyone if there was a local, pro-

fessional big band in the area and everybody would say there wasn’t but suggest I start one,” recalled the Keeseville native.

Through the guidance of the school’s director of jazz studies, Bret Zvacek, Pray was able to reach out to music teachers across the North Country.

“Within an hour, we had a band and have been going strong ever since then,” said Pray.

The group has evolved during the past few years, but their ability to stay true to their roots — a mixture of original swing dance music and contemporary jazz — has remained the same.

The band today consists of 19 members, with five on saxophones, five on trumpets, four on trombones, and musicians on tuba, bass, piano, guitar and drums. And, their membership is as wide range as their instruments, noted Pray, with musicians traveling from as far as Tupper Lake, New Russia and Malone and as close as Plattsburgh, Beekmantown and Peru to play.

“We’ve got a good mix of music teachers and other local music professionals,” said Pray.

Among them is Matthew Barlow, a music teacher at Beekmantown Middle School, who has been playing with the Adirondack Jazz Orchestra since its inception. Barlow said he’s proud to be able to perform with highly-talented musicians while “having a good time doing it.”

“It really impresses me what excellent musicians we have around

us here,” said Barlow. “It’s always fun to play with those folks and it brings a great deal of personal gratification to be able to perform with them.”

“I think that the North Country could use as many cultural opportunities as we can muster,” he added. “If we can provide at least one of those, then we’re doing something positive.”

Though Pray’s older brother, Keith, began a similar-style group in Albany, it wasn’t until Pray took a trumpet lesson from famous trumpet player Bobby Shew that he seriously considered the group performing on a regular basis.

The setting had to be just right, he explained, with a stage large enough to hold the band and room large enough to accommodate large crowds.

“Olive Ridley’s was the first place I went to,” said Pray. “They seemed to be the best place in the area to offer live music. So, I contacted [owner] Matt Spiegel and he absolutely loved the idea. He’s been more than willing to help us out in any way he can.”

Spiegel said the Adirondack Jazz Orchestra is the kind of entertainment he had in mind when wanting to showcase local talent at his establishment.

“I have a true appreciation for music and culture in Plattsburgh and I just think we need more of it,” said Spiegel. “When Matt [Pray] came to me, I was super impressed and thrilled that he wanted to come here and play. It’s great for the com-

munity.”

“Whether people are familiar with big band music or not, I think they’re going to find they’re going to have a good time,” said Barlow.

“Hopefully, if we can get enough people out there, it’ll help raise the bar for cultural experiences in Plattsburgh.”

Radio aeromodelers continue flying high Club raises record-setting $2,800 for Hospice

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — For nearly 40 years, members of the Plattsburgh Radio Aeromodelers Club have looked to the sky.

With humble beginnings — nine men, no land, and “operating on a shoestring” — PRAM has grown throughout the years to become a club of 52 members, with 38 acres of land, and the ability to raise $2,800 for Hospice of the North Country this year.

“We were looking for a charity to donate money to as part of our nonprofit fund,” explained club president Jack Hoskins. “It’s a wonderful organization.”

PRAM have been collecting donations annually for Hospice for the last seven years during their Radio Controlled Fun-Fly events held each June.

Every year, people pour through the gates of Memorial Field on Rooney Road and pay a donation for parking.

“There was one family that donated $50 just to come in the gate,” recalled club vice president Roy Perry.

However, despite the current economy, PRAM collected more money this year than any other year.

“Last year, I think it was $1,500 or $1,600,” Perry said. “This was a blowout year. It really was. The weath-

SUNY Plattsburgh makes list of top colleges END OF SUMMER SALE PLATTSBURGH — For the second year in a row, the State University of New York at Plattsburgh has ranked among US News & World Report’s “Best Universities in the North” as a master ’s level institution.

Among public master ’s level schools in the North, SUNY Plattsburgh ranked 26th, tying with SUNY Potsdam.

Compared to other master ’s level institutions in the North, the school also ranked highly for the number of international students, tying for 11th place with Caldwell College in NJ, Chatham College in Penn. and New York Institute of Technology.

The rankings came out in the 2010 edition of “America’s Best Colleges” and will appear in the Sept. 1 issue of U.S. News & World Report magazine.

SUNY Plattsburgh will also be included in the college guidebook “America’s Best Colleges” published by U.S. News & World Report and widely used by students searching for colleges. These rankings are based on assessment by administrators at peer institutions, retention of students, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.

“We are, of course, pleased to have continued validation of our efforts here at SUNY Plattsburgh. Our faculty and students are doing amazing things, and we are just beginning to get the word out” said SUNY Plattsburgh president John Ettling.

According to Ettling, the college is coming into its own on a number of fronts. For instance, SUNY Plattsburgh has exceeded its goal when it comes to the number of entering freshman. The goal was 975, and the college has 1,102 students ready to start classes on Monday.

In addition, applications have increased by 35 percent over the past five years and selectivity is up. For the third year in a row, the college has had to turn away more applicants than it could accept.

“We can’t take as many students as are potentially qualified on paper, the way we were doing five, six or seven years ago,” said Ettling. “So our actual acceptance rate for the last three years has been under 50 percent. That makes us selective. Well over half of the students who apply to SUNY Plattsburgh, unfortunately, are disappointed.”

When it comes to diversity, 17.2 percent of SUNY Plattsburgh’s incoming freshmen come from minority back-

grounds. That number has been steadily climbing. It was 16.2 percent in 2008 and 15.5 percent in 2007.

US News & World Report is not the only national publication to take note of the college in recent years. SUNY Plattsburgh was also ranked by Kiplinger ’s Personal Finance magazine as one of the “Best Values in Public Education” for 2009. In fact, this year the college moved up in the rankings. For in-state students, SUNY Plattsburgh ranked 79th out of the 100 institutions that made the cut – up from 97th the year before. For out-of-state students, the college ranked 62nd out of 100 — up from 79th.

Happy Labor Day In Recognition Of Our Working Men And Women The Very First Labor Day • September 5, 1882 - If you could create a holiday, what would it be called? What date would you choose for your holiday? Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, was the person who came up with the idea for Labor Day. He thought American workers should be honored with their own day. He proposed his idea to New York’s Central Labor Union early in 1882, and they thought the holiday was a good idea, too.

With four long months between Independence Day and Thanksgiving, Peter suggested a month halfway in between.

The very first Labor Day was held on a Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. The day was celebrated with a picnic, concert and speeches. Ten thousand workers marched in a parade from City Hall to Union Square.

Soon after that first celebration, the holiday was moved to the first Monday in September, the day we still honor.

Congress passed legislation making Labor Day a national holiday in 1894.

Marker From page 1 ter Keese, who built the stone house which stands today at the Keese Homestead.

“There was a very important social movement that took place here,” said Burdick. “Peter Keese was threatened for being an abolitionist because it was illegal to harbor runaway slaves.

It’s not something you did lightly or casually.”

Though Peter Keese and Stephen Keese Smith have been credited for their efforts in the anti-slavery movement, the new historical marker at Peter Keese’s homestead now contains one word the previous marker did not — abolitionist.

“The most important word on the sign, to me, is abolitionist,” said Burdick. “That’s really what tells the story about what happened here.”

The evidence of Peter Keese’s support of the abolition of slavery, said NCURHA president Don Papson, was in his signature on a petition for the formation of the Clinton County AntiSlavery Society in 1837.

“We have good reason to say that he was an abolitionist,” he said.

According to Papson, the Keese Homestead was one of the last stops on the Underground Railroad in New York State before fugitive slaves made their way to Canada. The slaves, ex-

plained Papson, would end up in New York City and then make their way to Albany, Troy, Glens Falls and then to Peru before heading to Champlain and crossing the border in Lacolle, Quebec.

The installation of the marker, said Papson, is “helping history to stay alive,” and credited the ambition of people involved with making the marker ’s replacement a reality.

“This is the result of people in the community who felt a loss every time they drove by here and didn’t see the sign coming together sharing their talents, their historical knowledge and their love for the Keese family,” said Papson.

“The one defining feature I would say of the North Country,” he added, “is that when there is a need, people come together and work together to make something happen.”

State Assemblywoman Janet L. Duprey, R-Peru, credited the Sunderlands for their role in seeing the Keese Homestead remains a piece of history that will remain in the community for many years to come.

“The preservation they’ve done and what they’ve managed to maintain in this home over the years is absolutely nothing short of phenomenal,” said Duprey. “And, how fortunate we are that they have agreed to share this with us today because of their generosity and their continuing support of the history of the North Country.”

Reading From page 1 Pritchard. “It allows them to explore books that they wouldn’t necessarily get to read in school and it helps to encourage their reading as independent adults, not just at school.”

Pritchard has also found the program has brought the participating teenagers into the library more often.

“They tend to come to the library more regularly. Even outside of that monthly book club,” said Pritchard. “That’s one of the big things I see, is they do read more.

Not just the book that I select or they select ... but they’ll just come and read for fun.”

More importantly, Pritchard also sees the students using the library as a community resource.

“They also ... feel more comfortable coming here for other kinds of help,” she said. “If they need help with school or writing a paper and they don’t have access to word processing at home, because we have computers here.”

One teenager involved with the program is Megan Mangum, a student at Saranac Senior High School who is entering her senior year, who joined the program this year.

“I didn’t think it was going to be

SATURDAY August 29, 2009 as much fun as it was,” said Mangum. “I was kind of surprised.”

Mangum joined the club because she is friends with Pritchard’s son, Nathan Bedell, who is also a part of the club.

“We really encourage young men to participate,” said Pritchard. “One of the ways that we do that is we choose books and allow them to have input on the books that young men might like to read. So, we’re not always reading ‘girly books.’”

“Not that there’s anything wrong with girl books,” added Pritchard. “But, we try to make it a program that young men will feel comfortable participating in.”

Other activities the club has done include photography, and a fashion show with outfits made from bubblewrap.

“I tried to have a whole bunch of books that were about creative careers the kids could look into,” explained Pritchard. “Like digital photography, filmmaking, publishing, writing, fashion.”

The Fortune Cookies meet monthly. The next meeting will be held at the library, 1168 Cook St., Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 7 p.m. Any teenager is invited to attend, regardless of in what town they live.

For more information, contact Pritchard at 492-7005.

School From page 1 ticle, Cringle stated Labor Day, the holiday after which schools typically begin their school years is “the latest it will ever be in September,” presenting “a unique situation this year” for school district officials in planning out the coming year ’s schedule.

The decision was made in order to provide the district with a “sufficient emergency closing days for the safety of students during the months of inclement weather,” Cringle stated in his article.

The school has historically established six emergency closing days each year, Cringle went on to write. The number of mandated school days — 180 by the state and 181 by the Saranac School district — as well as state testing dates and federal and state holidays also impact school calendars, the superintendent added.

The school district’s board of education approved the proposed schedule after it was reviewed by a school committee, Cringle also noted.

“Ideally, no one prefers starting school before Labor Day,” Cringle stated. “Unfortunately, considering all conditions, requirements and factors, the district thought it was in the best interest of the majority to begin school before Labor Day.” School will not be in session Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7.

SATURDAY August 29, 2009

A park in trouble, part II L

ast week’s column, which focused on the “state of the park” and the dearth of opportunities for area youth, generated a great deal of interest and concern. Several readers remarked on the ‘Catch 22’ aspect of life in the Adirondacks.

Sue H. from Schroon Lake remarked, “It’s (the park) a beautiful place to live, but no one can afford to live here!

There’s nothing but low paying jobs, with few benefits or just seasonal employment, which requires long hours during a short timeframe. What kind of future is that?”

From Upper Jay, John L. asked, “If the state’s really worried about the future (of Adirondack youth) they should offer incentives to bring them home after they finish college. The federal government offers loans for medical school students, which requires doctors to work in a rural area for several years to pay off their debt. But, what could local students do around here after they finished college, work for ORDA or the highway department?”

Many changes have occurred over the years to bring about present situation, where an aging population is amplified by an exodus of youth. The last major boost to the region’s population occurred when the Northway was completed in 1967.

After the interstate was completed, many Adirondack communities experienced an influx of newcomers.

Prior to the completion of the interstate, most employment opportunities were limited to just the local communities. The Northway allowed workers to commute many miles to work in the cities of Plattsburgh, Glens Falls or Saratoga. Before the interstate, road trips were limited to traveling on the winding, old Route 9.

In Elizabethtown alone, over a half dozen families relocated to town on the coattails of the new highway. Many of the newcomers were young professionals and most arrived with families in tow. Across the region, local school systems experienced a significant boost in class sizes.

Today, the trend has been reversed. Young people are leaving the park, while those that are returning are often retired.

Bill Osborn, director of Tourism and Economic Development for Hamilton County, is a prime example.

“I’m a composite of the typical Adirondack resident today,” Osborn revealed. “I was born here and left for business opportunities elsewhere. I made my money and decided to retire here. Others have done the same, but they settled for second homes and usually leave during the cold months.”

It’s a fact that children grow up faster today, with less innocence and greater pressures than ever before. They are exposed to more due to the proliferation of the new media.

Cable and satellite TV provide over a hundred channels, and the Internet offers even greater exposure. With the click of a mouse, today’s youth have the world at their fingertips. And often, what they see is much more interesting and exciting than what is available locally.

They watch their parents working at two or three jobs while struggling to get by and they don't want to do the same. Young people need excitement, they want to have fun. They need opportunity and many don’t believe it can be found here.

Unfortunately, many local communities can no longer support or offer recreational options like a bowling alley, a movie theatre or a gymnasium. There are a number of communities that don’t even have a local diner or similar social center, where kids can gather. Although local communities continually strive to provide options for visitors, they have often neglected to provide similar opportunities for their youth.

Is it any wonder that when the day comes for a local kid to get out of town, they jump at the option? Despite a plethora of outdoor recreational pursuits, there is very little else left to offer them.

Across the park, options for viable, lifelong employment opportunities have largely diminished over the past 20 to 30 years. The days of extraction industries are gone. The mines of Tahawus, Witherbee and Lyon Mountain have all closed.

The forest products industry is similarly withering.

Today, the Ticonderoga pencils used by the children in Ticonderoga are no longer manufactured with wood from our local forests. Globalization has allowed cheaper wood from Malaysia to be more cost effective in the manufacture of pencils than the trees in our own backyard.

Small towns are atrophying from the lack of opportunity.

We must begin to offer employment options beyond tourism.

Communities need business, but businesses require consumers. If if weren’t for the friendly Stewart’s Shops, many North Country communities wouldn’t even have a local grocery store or gas station. The Olympic Regional Development Authority has provided a beneficial investment in Lake Placid, and it has in North Creek. A trickle down affect has also helped some of the peripheral towns, such as Wilmington, Chester-

OUTDOORS • CLINTON TODAY - 13 town and Saranac Lake.

However, there is a palpable resentment from some of the park’s other communities over this arrangement, while many downstate residents view the situation as living on the state’s dole.

“Lake Placid wouldn’t exist if the state didn’t subsidize it.

Neither would Tupper Lake, if Sunmount closed,” argued June P. from Paul Smiths. “Our region needs a new industry. Sure, we will always have the service industry, but who wants to be servants in there own land?”

“The state has taken away the ability for many Adirondack residents to earn a living, they’ve locked up the land in regulations,” explained Bill Osborn. “They must invest as much money in the preservation of the park’s communities as they have in the preservation of the park’s land.”

“We need to find an environmentally friendly, low impact industry to bring their business to the park. We need to have economic development incentives and they have to be significant. We need software designers, production services, film or other employers,” Osborn continued, “and with the proper infrastructure, local communities can promote telecommuting so that their employees can take advantage of the quality of life options the region offers and still maintain a career.”

In essence, the Adirondacks can no longer be viewed as a giant amusement park for tourists and second home owners.

If communities are going to thrive rather than simply survive, there is a desperate need for well paying jobs that rely on intellect rather than extraction.

The same quality of life issues, which many consider so important in attracting new business and new homeowners to the region, are rapidly deteriorating as school districts condense, communities contract and bright flight draws youth from their home towns If visitors begin to perceive the region as consisting of small, dying towns separated by long stretches of desolate roadways, the future of the park will be sealed.

The Adirondack region must offer more than a few, seasonally prosperous communities like Lake Placid, Lake George and Old Forge. The effort will require imaginative minds, creative opportunities and a major investment in infrastructure.

If preservation of the land is the ultimate goal for the park, there must also be a corresponding effort initiated to insure the preservation of the park’s small towns. These communities are central to the ‘quality of life’ that makes the region so unique.

The endeavor will require a major investment in our youth, for they will determine the future of both land and community. We must provide them with an inheritance that offers more than busing tables or turning down beds.

HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN FORECLOSURE NEW YORK STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT WE SEND YOU THIS NOTICE ABOUT THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME. IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR HOME. PLEASE READ THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT CAREFULLY. YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OR YOUR LOCAL LEGAL AID OFFICE TO OBTAIN ADVICE ON HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The state encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-BANKNYS (1-877-226-5697) or visit the department's website at WWW.BANKING.STATE.NY.US . FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to "save" your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner's distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. § 1303 NOTICE NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT. DATED: July 29, 2009 Steven J. Baum, P.C., Attorney(s) For Plaintiff(s), 220 Northpointe Parkway Suite G, Amherst, NY 14228 The law firm of Steven J. Baum, P.C. and the attorneys whom it employs are debt collectors who are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained by them will be used for that purpose.
