‘Zumbathon’ will benefit Christmas Bureau, JCEO Gilligan’s Getaway hosting first-time event Dec. 10 By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Alissa Perniciaro likes to Zumba and wants others to join her to help local nonprofit organizations. Perniciaro, a certified instructor of the aerobic fitness program which has become increasingly popular in the area, is organizing a “Zumbathon” to raise money for the Clinton County Christmas Bureau and the Joint
Council for Economic Opportunities of Clinton and Franklin Counties Food Shelf. The Morrisonville woman and fellow Zumba instructor Lisa Menia were looking for a way to spread the word about Zumba and help local charitable organizations at the same time. “We thought it’d be a great way to raise money and have a good time,” said Perniciaro. The pair have planned the See ZUMBATHON, page 10

PLATTSBURGH — The story of scandal involving the salary of the former executive director of the United Way of Central Carolinas may be more than a year old, but it’s now beginning to have a ripple effect in the North Country. John C. Bernardi, executive director of the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties Inc., said it has come to his attention a story which aired on CBS News Nov. 19 titled “RecessionProof Job? Non-Profit CEO,” has raised concerns locally about charitable giving. In the report, the controversial salary of former Charlotte, N.C., United Way executive director Gloria Pace King was referenced, highlighting how King pulled in a $380,000 salary and $2.1 million retirement package. “This is a story that’s resurfaced from June 2008,” said Bernardi. “It looks like [CBS News] was doing a story on charitable giving and just pulled this up as an example.” Recently, Kirk A. Stallsmith, vice president of the local United Way’s board of directors, learned of concerns regarding making do-
Bernardi nations to the organization from employees of GeorgiaPacific in Plattsburgh, where Stallsmith serves as general manager. Several employees had seen or learned of the CBS News report and mentioned they wouldn’t participate in donating to the United Way campaign as a result. Stallsmith immediately responded to the concerns by issuing a company-wide e-mail which clarified several key points in the news report. “People need to be cautious when they read or hear something on the news and not draw broad assumptions,” said Stallsmith. “It was clear by reading the CBS report that there was a branch of the United Way and a few select other charitable organizations where See UNITED WAY, page 17

Students from Kimberly Bouissey’s fifth-grade class at Momot Elementary School traveled with local veterans to Yando’s Big M Nov. 23 for what has become an annual project for Bouissey’s students. The intergenerational project involved the veterans assisting the children in shopping for items needed to put together Thanksgiving dinner baskets for the less fortunate. Here, veteran Pat Patterson discusses the cost of canned cranberries with students Philip Hadley, left, and DeAndré Watson. The students raised money for shopping with a healthy snack sale at the school and planned to donate the baskets to families in need before Thanksgiving. Photo by Jeremiah S. Papineau

Hannah Racette puts an interpretive marker on a tree along the trail system at the New Land Trust in the town of Saranac. The markers were part of a project Racette did to earn her Silver Award from Girl Scouts of Senior Troop 4111.

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com SARANAC — When traveling the trails of the New Land Trust, hikers now have tools to help educate them about the beauty that surrounds them. Fourteen-year-old Hannah Racette has created interpretive signs and a brochure that educate visitors to the New Land Trust of the various species of trees that can be found on the trail system. Racette’s endeavor was made in pursuit of her Silver Award as a member of Girl Scouts of Senior Troop 4111. While Racette could have chosen any community service project in pursuit of her award, being a self-proclaimed “nature girl,” she decided to work on a project that would get more people interested in the great outdoors. “I go to the land trust a lot and I thought it would be a good idea for them to have a tree information trail,” said Racette. “I wanted to learn more about the trees because I didn’t know much about them before.” “Now, I can identify them and I can help other people to do that, too,” she added. Racette invested approximately 60 hours into the project, which only required 40 hours for her to be eligible for the Silver Award. The project required that much time, she said, because of the amount of research she had to do and for the work that went into designing the brochure. Racette even held a recyclable can and bottle drive to raise money for the brochure to be printed. “That was a lot of work,” she said. “I designed the brochure and went to a printer to have it professionally
printed. That took a lot of time.” What took even longer was walking the trails to identify the trees, as well as clearing some trails along the way, said Racette, who credited help from her uncle, Steven Jenks, a forester and member of the New Land Trust, with the project. Doug Yu, also a member of the New Land Trust board of directors, commended Racette for taking on the project. “It’s something that I’ve wanted to do for a while, because a lot of students from Saranac and Plattsburgh have projects during the fall where they have to do tree identification,” said Yu. “I had to do this with my kid and I found it was interesting but it was also difficult to find places to go with a good variety of trees and trails and some sort of organization.” “This is a great way to introduce the New Land Trust to people who’ve had to do something like that and it’s also a good way to get people out and to enjoy the area and learn about it in a different way,” added. Yu. “We’re really excited about it.” The New Land Trust will celebrate the new interpretive signage for the trail system this Saturday, Nov. 28, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Luke’s Lodge, the lean-to found half-way on the trail system. Cookies and apple cider will be served. The New Land Trust is located at 236 Plumadore Road and is accessible from State Route 3 in the town of Saranac by taking Chazy Lake Road to Clark Hill Road, continuing several miles before reaching Plumadore Road on the right.

erhaps you caught the recent ad by Verizon Wireless. Playing off iPhone commercials, the ad states “There’s a Map for That” and presents a map that compares AT&T 3G coverage to Verizon’s coverage making Verizon look superior. Not liking the ad, AT&T filed for a restraining order to block the ad and, on Nov. 19, IDG News Service reported a federal judge denied the order and basically told AT&T to stop whining. It was reported AT&T did not dispute the truth in the ad, only it was misleading to customers. AT&T provides wireless service using three different technologies: 3G, EDGE and GPRS. Between all three technologies AT&T reaches more than 300 million people or about 97 percent of the population. Consider only 3G and the numbers drop off to about 75 percent. When AT&T 3G coverage is juxtaposed on a map it looks pathetic. What Verizon did was compare apples to apples; AT&T argued that was misleading and apples to oranges make more sense. There is no doubt the iconic iPhone is a super-sexy device. But, no matter how cool it is, some users are beginning to wonder why service routinely stinks. Consider a recent New York Times article “Customers Angered as iPhones Overload AT&T” where users are relating cell performance to dial-up

like speeds. So, what’s Verizon up to? For one thing, Verizon is smitten with the iPhone but the iPhone is contractually married to AT&T. Perhaps Verizon feels it can shake up the AT&T customer base. For another, insiders think a divorce may in fact be looming between the iPhone and AT&T. The exclusive deal between Apple and AT&T is thought to be over next year allowing Apple the option to switch to another carrier.
ccording to the December issue of Good Housekeeping magazine, the Nintendo Wii game system has surprising benefits for people with Parkinson’s disease. Researchers were amazed to find use of the Wii system for one month with 20 Parkinson’s patients improved their motors skills, increased their energy level, and alleviated symptoms of depression. The participants in the study, who are in all stages of the disease but do not have gait problems, played Wii tennis, bowling, and boxing for one hour each, three times a week. They continued to show improvement as long as they played regularly, however, when they stopped playing for one month, their motor skills depreciated and their symptoms of depression returned. The secret, according to researcher and occupational therapist Dr. Ben Herz from the Medical College of Georgia, is chemistry — specifically dopamine. Dopamine is the substance the brain releases responsible for normal movement. Video games and exercise both cause the brain to secrete dopamine, which is normally deficient in persons with Parkinson’s disease. Dopamine is essential for voluntary, functional movements, which can worsen rapidly in Parkinson’s cases if they are not routinely used. Use of the Wii system enhances both while having fun.
As Dr.Herz says, “Game systems are the future of rehab.” His next project involves Parkinson’s patients with gait problems to see how they respond to the Wii. The beauty of Wii games is they can be enjoyed in a home environment and closely simulate the activities they portray. The games require hand-eye coordination, depth and distance perception, and sequenced movement — all areas that improve with practice. The games are also a great way for caregivers to spend quality time with their loved ones, no matter what their ability.

More coupon secrets: big stores, bigger discounts
I
n many areas, shoppers have several grocery stores to choose from. The same area may have smaller grocery markets, discount grocers that offer “everyday low prices” and large-scale, major-chain supermarkets. Many people tend to consider large supermarkets to be more expensive than their low-price, themed counterparts. This is a reputation that the large supermarkets typically don’t deserve, as they can be some of the best places to save big. Consider this point: Grocery stores that offer “everyday low prices” definitely have prices that are not too high. But prices here are also usually not too low, either. These stores offer the same prices on items week to week, with few to no sales. By contrast, the larger supermarkets offer “high/low” prices. On any given day, it’s true about half the items’ prices will be higher at the supermarket than at an “everyday low price” store. But prices on the other half of the items will be lower. Those are the items that Super-Couponers watch for price drops on. When the prices take a big dip, that’s when we can move in with our coupons and bring the price down even more. This is an advantage supermarkets can have over other stores. During a typical 12-week sales cycle at a supermarket, the price of any particular item will fluctuate from high to low. But just once during that time does the price hit its lowest low — we call this the “12-week-low.” This is the lowest price that item will appear at during the price cycle. Why is it a good idea to watch for these 12-week-lows? That 12-week-low price is typically 50 percent lower than the regular shelf price. Any time we’re able to buy something for half the original price, even without a coupon, it’s
time to buy it! Of course, we also want to use coupons at that point to bring the price down even more. With coupons we can often save 70 percent or more off the original price. Here’s an example. A box of granola bars is usually $3.29 at my large supermarket. The same brand of granola bars is $2.99 at an “every-day low price” grocery in town. The grocery store doesn’t change or cycle its prices; the granola bars are $2.99 every single day. But at the supermarket, the granola bars will go on sale numerous times over the By Jill Cataldo next 12 weeks. Some weeks the bars will be the full $3.29, but other weeks the price will be lower … and lower still. I watched the bars over several weeks and saw them go on sale for $2.99, and $2.49 and $1.99. But one week, the bars dropped again, to “2 for $3,” or $1.50 a box. During this entire time, I was holding onto a $1 coupon for the granola bars. When the bars hit $1.50, they were now on sale for less than half their original price. I used my $1 coupon and took the box home for 50 cents. If I had purchased the granola bars at the “every-day low price” store with my $1 coupon, I would still have paid $1.99 a box. But I picked them up for a quarter of that price … at the larger, so-called “more expensive” supermarket!

What you can do in the garden during the fall
D
uring the summer, I can spend hours just looking at a garden alive with butterflies, birds, bees, and blossoms. But, up here, it seems like the time to enjoy the blossoms is so short compared to the time the garden is empty of plants and pollinators. Despite the lack of actively growing plants, there is still plenty to do in the garden. If you have a vegetable garden, now is the time to make sure all the garden debris is raked up and the garden is put to bed. It’s important to clean up all the dead foliage every fall, because garden pests and plant diseases can overwinter in garden debris and cause problems in the garden next year. If you had early blight or powdery mildew this season, be sure to be thorough with fall garden clean-up. These steps also help to prevent viruses, thrips, and problem beetles (such as potato beetles and flea beetles): Start by pulling up all the plants and weeds in the garden. Get the roots and all. Then shred and compost any healthy plant material. The weeds and diseased plants should be bagged and disposed of in the garbage. Rake up all the remaining plant debris.
Next, rake up any fallen tree leaves from your lawn area or if you don’t have leaves in your lawn, snag some of your neighbor ’s leaves. Run the leaves over with a mulching lawnmower and add them to the garden bed. In the spring, turn or till the remaining leaves into the soil to improve your gardens fertility. It really is amazing how a little extra time spend cleaning up the garden now, will make for a healthier garden next year!

Market Basket prices are up 4% for October
P
rices are beginning to rise once again for groceries in the Plattsburgh area. Forty-one items came in at $96.79 in October, an increase of 4 percent from September ’s cost of $92.46, but down 1 percent from last October ’s cost of $98.12. For the month of October, prices increased in every category except breads, grains and cereals. Prices were up slightly for the year on frozen foods, canned goods, drinks and miscellaneous items and down slightly on produce, meats, and breads, grains and cereals. Prices were 13 percent lower on dairy products. Produce prices were down considerably for the year on Red Delicious apples, Dole bananas, carrots and lettuce. Frozen food prices had a big increase due to haddock, up to $7.99 a pound from $6.49 in September. Orange juice and spinach prices remained unchanged. Drink prices continue a trend upward, especially on store brand tea bags. Coffee prices remained constant for the month, but are up from last October. Canned good prices increased on Del Monte fruit cocktail and store-brand diced tomatoes. Star Kist tuna prices fell once again. For the month, all items in the dairy department increased in price.

Santa Night returning to help Christmas Bureau Christmas carolers needed to participate in Dec. 11 event By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — When Thanksgiving is over, many people’s thoughts turn to Christmas, and it’s no different for Alice E. Heckard. Heckard, along with Tammy J. Perrotte, oversees The Christmas Bureau, and this is the time of year when the nonprofit organization really begins to pick up steam, said Heckard. The nonprofit organization begins organizing donations of toys, clothing and other gifts to distribute to low-income families in need at Christmastime. It’s a tradition that’s continued for more than 40 years. “[The Christmas Bureau] was started by a small group of women from local churches in the 1960s, I believe, and it grew from there,” explained Heckard. “They started by collecting food baskets then eventually started collecting used toys.” The operation grew over the years and even changed hands in coordination, Heckard said. Eventually, the Joint Council for Economic Opportunity of Clinton and Franklin Counties coordinated the distributions — which then began consisting of new toys — and did so for a number of years until The Christmas Bureau was officially created as its own 501(c)(3) nonprofit. “It’s more like a business now than ever,” said Heckard. “And, it keeps getting better.” Heckard attributes the support of The Christmas Bureau to the generosity of people in the North Country, especially those behind an event known as “Santa Night.” The annual event involves members of the community dressing in holiday style and visiting local United Way of Clinton & Essex Counties Inc.
restaurants and bars, serenading patrons with Christmas carols. “Since they started doing this, every year it’s grown and gotten better and better,” said Heckard. “They started out by buying us toys to give to the families and now they give us a large amount of money each year. And, they still buy us toys and other things we need. It’s amazing.” Christopher J. Huchro, a financial advisor with West Bay Financial Group, coordinates Santa Night each year and said he is also overwhelmed with the support Santa Night participants give year after year. “We want to help the less fortunate and there’s no simpler way than getting people on a bus and going to eight or nine places and singing — sometimes terribly — to raise money and bring attention to The Christmas Bureau,” said Huchro. Santa Night participants raise money to go caroling the second Friday each December, said Huchro, and collect any donations they receive that night to give to The Christmas Bureau. “And, we’re always recruiting more people to join us,” said Huchro. “We never know how many people we’re going to have.” Last year, roughly 40 people joined in on the Santa Night festivities, raising more than $23,000. This year ’s fundraising goal for Santa Night is $30,000, said Huchro. “We’re going to try really hard to make it,” he said, adding it will take the participation of even more people this year. “We need them to come out, even if they don’t have the greatest singing voice,” he said, laughing. “It’s just a great time.”

Heckard said by people getting into the spirit of the season, like with Santa Night, more and more families are helped every year. And, in a year following one of national economic decline, Heckard feels this year The Christmas Bureau will be needed more than ever. “We helped 1,138 families last year and we already know that number ’s going to be up this year. We can already tell by the number of applications coming in,” said Heckard. “I’m a little concerned this year our numbers are going to jump considerably and I’m hoping our donations aren’t down. If they stay where they normally are, we’ll be fine, but if they drop, we’re going to be hurting.” Those interested in helping The Christmas Bureau may contact Heckard at 562-1253 or visit the organization’s Web site at www.thechristmasbureau.org. For more information about participating in Santa Night — scheduled for the night of Dec. 11 — contact Huchro at 561-9674 or visit the Santa Night Web site at www.santanight.com/plattsburghny.
Need assistance? Those seeking assistance from The Christmas Bureau may fill out applications at the JCEO Outreach Center in their community. In the towns of Beekmantown, Mooers and Schuyler Falls, where no JCEO Outreach Center exists, applicants are asked to contact their respective town offices. Those living in the city of Plattsburgh must call Linda Schneider for an appointment at 561-4209. Eligible applicants must reside in Clinton County and have children living in their household age 16 or younger. Applicants must also meet income guidelines based on the size of their family. Social Security information and proof of income, if any, is also required for all who live in the applicant’s household. The deadline for applications is Wednesday, Dec. 9. For further information, call 562-1253.

PLATTSBURGH — When Jessica Liberty won a quilt, she knew exactly what she was going to do with it — give it to her friend. Liberty recently won a homemade quilt raffled by members of the Treasure Chests breast cancer support group, and gave it to her friend and co-worker, Diana Betts of Dannemora. The quilt, made by Joanne Kennedy of Peru, was raffled as part of the Treasure Chest team’s fundraising to participate in the Northeastern New York Race for the Cure held in Albany last month. Liberty said she “couldn’t believe the odds,” considering she only purchased a few of the raffle tickets, which were sold at various locations before the drawing. “I never win anything. I think it was meant to be,” said Liberty, who works with Betts in the CVPH Fitzpatrick Cancer Center, “be-

cause I just happened to run down to the bake sale and they were selling ribbons in honor of those who have either survived cancer or passed away from cancer.” Liberty said she bought a few ribbons for Betts, who had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. “That day, I was focused on Diana, so I think [the quilt] was meant to go to her,” she said. When Liberty recently
surprised her friend with the quilt, Betts was overcome with emotion. “This was a complete surprise,” said Betts, smiling. “Jessica had told me she had done something but I didn’t know what.” Betts said she, too, doesn’t tend to win drawings and contests. “I don’t have very good luck,” she said. Betts explained she’s gone through a “rough three
years.” Aside from her own bout with cancer, her son, Brian Mehan, passed away from his battle with the disease March 2, 2008. He was 20 years old. Janice Opal, a member of the Treasure Chests team, said she hoped Liberty’s luck and surprise gift to Betts was a sign of good things to come for Betts. “This was really a special thing for [Liberty] to do,” said Opal.

Student art auction this Tuesday to raise money for scholarships PLATTSBURGH — Student artists from across the State University of New York at Plattsburgh campus are helping raise money for future students. The artists have donated work to an auction designed to raise money for student art scholarships this Tuesday, Dec. 1. The auction will be held in the lobby of the Myers Fine Arts Building from 3:30-5:30 p.m. The event is important to the students who often have to scramble to make ends meet, said Professor Diane Fine, who organized the auction with help from students. “Our students work so hard. Most work one or two jobs in addition to going to school. Scholarships can be a big help,” said Fine. This is the fifth time in SUNY Plattsburgh’s history the auction has been held. Works up for auction will range from pho-
tography to ceramics and beyond, with bids starting at a low cost of $5 per item. For the students, making and selling their art has several benefits. “Our time is spent not only learning how to manipulate our medium and create concepts, but creating tangible work that can be sold,” said Joanna Merry, who, with fellow students Megan Risley and Sacha Sanger, helped Fine organize the event. Merry, herself, works three jobs to pay for school and admits every little bit counts. “And, it is just a thrill to have someone purchase a piece of your work, no matter how small the bill,” she said. Event organizers encourage students and the general public to attend the auction for its charitable cause. Live music and refreshments will be served.
‘Catch-and-release’ workshop to be hosted Dec. 9 PLATTSBURGH — The State University of New York at Plattsburgh Lake Champlain Sea Institute will host “Biology of Catch-and-Release: Implications for Management of Fishing Tournaments," Wednesday, Dec. 9, from 6:30-9 p.m. in the Cardinal Lounge of the Angell College Center on Rugar Street. The seminar will feature Dr. Bruce Tufts from Queen's University in Ontario, an internationally-recognized expert on catchand-release fishing. Tufts has done extensive lab work on the topic and, in turn, has worked directly with event organizers to decrease tournament impacts on the ecology of lakes and the envi-
ronment. Tufts will discuss the structure of bass populations as well as his work reducing bass tournament fish mortalities in Canada. The workshop will also include introductions by Mark Malchoff, a Sea Grant extension specialist at the institute, along with a panel discussion. The seminar is the first session in the 2009 Lake Champlain Fisheries Leadership Institute Seminar Series. Future topics will continue to center on lake ecology. For more information, call 564-3038 or email Malchoff at mark.malchoff@plattsburgh.edu.

The $6 admission that will be charged at the door will go to the Christmas Bureau. Participants are encouraged to bring donations of canned goods which will then be given to the JCEO Food Shelf. “We want people to come and participate but it will also be open to those who are Zumba-curious and want to sit on the sidelines to see what it’s all about,” said Perniciaro. The two-hour event will begin at 6 p.m., and include a 15-minute break half-way through to give participants and spectators a chance to mingle and enjoy refreshments. “This will give everyone a nice glimpse at the wonderful music that we use and the beauty of Zumba, which is everyone can do it,” said Perniciaro.

exercise that incorporates Latin and international music with movement, Perniciaro explained, giving participants a workout “without it feeling like a workout.” “It’s really exercise in disguise,” she said. “Some people do this and don’t realize how good it is for them. It’s a lot of fun.” “We do salsa, kumbia, cha-cha, reggaeton, belly dance, merengue. The list goes on and on,” she added. “There’s many forms of music and dance movement.” Of course, the craze has already hit the area and many already know about Zumba, said Perniciaro. “[Zumba] has definitely hit Plattsburgh. There’s a large fan base here,” she said. “People are very thrilled to say they’re going to a Zumbathon and we’re definitely looking forward to doing it. It’s going to be a fun evening.” For more information, contact Perniciaro at 618-0503 or Menia at 563-9638.

Kids share their experience being in ‘The Nutcracker’ Performance continues this weekend at SUNY Plattsburgh’s Hartman Theatre, Lake Placid shows to follow Dec. 12 By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The North Country Ballet Ensemble doesn’t just love having children in the audience for their performances, they enjoy having them on stage as well. The ensemble’s upcoming annual production of “The Nutcracker” features several children who are both new to the stage and what some would consider seasoned veterans. Madison Cleveland, a 6th-grade student at Beekmantown Middle School, has been performing in The Nutcracker for the past five years, though said she still loves being on stage. “Ballet is a story told without words, just by movement,” she said. “It’s really a lot of fun.” Madison said she particularly likes The Nutcracker, which tells the story of a young girl named Claire who receives a nutcracker on Christmas Eve, then dreams of being transported to a magical world with the nutcracker, who becomes a prince. “Ever since I was a little girl and saw The Nutcracker for the first time, I knew that I really, really wanted to play the role of Claire. Now, my dream has come true,” said Madison. It took many hours of practice, said Madison, but her hard work paid off. And, so did the work of Eydon Thomashow, a 7th-grader at Saranac Lake Middle School. Eydon also gets to play the role of Claire, with the two girls alternating who plays Claire during the seven performances the ensemble is hosting between Plattsburgh and Lake Placid. Being in a production like The Nutcracker, said Eydon, is something she feels any child would be able to enjoy. “I’ve been dancing since I was about 3 years old,” said Eydon. “I like the way it makes me feel good even if I’m having a bad day.” Madison and Eydon said they were nervous the first time they each stepped onto the stage, but were quick to say that’s something that’s completely normal. “Usually, with the first performance you’re nervous but then with the second or third you’re not as much,” said Madison. “Yeah, after the second or third you feel like you can basically do anything,” added Eydon. Madison’s younger brother, Paul, a 2nd-grade student at Cumberland Head Elementary, said he was nervous at first, too. However, Paul is taking the stage this year playing the part of a boy at a party and a soldier. “The cool part is you get to wear really, really nice costumes,” said Paul, “and you get to use really nice props like fake swords, trumpets, trombones.” “Plus, it helps you get more flexible for football and baseball and stuff like that,” added Paul, who said ballet teaches good coordination and balance. Julia Drollette, a third-grade student at Morrisonville Elementary School, gets the chance to play a sugar plum at-

The money was raised during the association's annual breast cancer awareness campaign. Shawn and Kim Kneussle of Kneucraft Fine Jewelry, at left, donated four Chamilia bracelets and breast cancer charms for raffle prizes as part of the fund-raising effort.

Collecting ‘Jeans for Teens’
Scary good fun
The Saranac Teachers Association recently sponsored a "Jeans for Teens" clothing drive. With the help of students, faculty, staff and community members, the organization was able to collect more than 30 boxes of jeans to be donated to homeless teens in New York and Vermont.
Students from Lisa Napper's fourth-grade and Janice Carter's third-grade classes treated members of the Saranac Senior Housing Center with pumpkins, magazines, decorations and spooky songs for Halloween.

United Way From page 1 perhaps the board and the leadership of the organization lost track of their ultimate mission.” Stallsmith also noted there are “vast differences in the size and scope of charitable groups depending on the population base they are serving.” “I would certainly expect a CEO of the United Way branch in a large metropolitan area to make a larger salary than someone in a small community with a small staff,” said Stallsmith. “It essentially becomes comparable to the size and scope of the fund raising and support effort.” However, the salary of the former executive director at the Charlotte United Way, was, in Stallsmith’s opinion, “absurd.” “The person who took over the position with a lower salary appeared to be in the proper compensation range given the responsibilities,” he said, adding however, there may be significant details not given to the CBS reporter that provided “some justification for how she was compensated.” “On the surface, it certainly sends a very poor message and I am sure in Charlotte, many United Way donors are seeking answers to their questions,” he said. The North Country, said Stallsmith, is fortunate to have a group of local community leaders who “understand what it means to serve, what the expectations are and the responsibilities associated.” “The people that I have met on the charitable boards in the North Country take their role very seriously and they do so with a very high sense of ethics and integrity,” he said. “Just because one thing occurred at one district, states away, does not make it a common practice nor should it paint a broad picture of United Way in general.” Bernardi agreed, adding the report has “created obvious concerns.” “The idea, from our standpoint, is to let people know that we’re very

healthy and our salaries are in line with other human service providers in the region. Nobody on the staff is getting a huge salary or bonuses or anything of that nature,” said Bernardi, who disclosed the combined annual salary for himself and two other employees of the local organization is approximately $140,000. Bernardi further noted only 12 percent of donations specifically designated for the local United Way goes toward administrative and management expenses, which he said is “quite low.” One-hundred percent of donations to specific partner agencies, however, go directly to those agencies, he said. “In our case, every penny goes to the organization,” Bernardi said. When compared to the United Way of Central Carolinas, the service area of the local United Way as well as the population served is a fraction of the size, said Bernardi. That’s even given the recent expansion of United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties into Franklin County, he added. “It’s increased the size of our service area significantly, both geographically and by population,” said Bernardi. “It’s significant, but we’re lucky in some respects because we do have a great network of volunteers. “Expanding into Franklin County is clearly going to be a big challenge,” Bernardi added. “We do think it’s going to be, in the long run, great for the region.” Though the organization is now in the process of “building relationships and
beginning to form a positive presence in Franklin County,” the main focus of the current fundraising campaign of United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties will be on raising $700,000 for its existing 33 partner agencies, said Bernardi. The campaign is approaching the half-way mark, which is important, he added, because “the needs are so great” in the region. “We’re getting there,” said Bernardi. “We’d like to be a little further ahead, but we remain optimistic that we’re going to be able to make the goal.”

SATURDAY November 28, 2009
CLINTON TODAY - 19
Get the kids outside! H
istorically, rural communities have provided their local youth with few opportunities for structured recreation beyond the scope of school sports or summer youth program offerings. Most small towns don't have the malls, gyms, movie theaters or civic centers typically found in larger communities. Recreation is often left to a child’s imagination, which can be a positive or negative outlet, depending on the direction we provide. Today’s kids are presented with a wealth of electronic attractions ranging from computers, to video games to cell phones and beyond. They will make due with the resources that are available to them. In the Adirondacks, the most readily available local recreational resources are our woods and waters. The region is blessed with a wealth of natural attractions that attract travelers from all over the world to play in our big backyard. In recent years, I’ve researched a number of opportunities and programs designed to introduce local children to the outdoors. I’ve been encouraged with what I’ve found and I’m thrilled with the range and diversity of the offerings. Throughout the Adirondacks, there are numerous opportunities for children, and their parents to develop the appropriate skills, outdoor education and appreciation to effectively enjoy the local environment. Best of all, most of the programs are offered
at little or no cost. If our children don't possess the necessary tools, skills and knowledge to utilize their surroundings, they are severely disadvantaged and underprivileged. It is a fact of life in the North Country, we must provide our own recreation! We go outside because it is in our nature to go outside. We go out to climb the mountains and to paddle the rivers, to fish the streams, to photograph the scenes and to plunge into the ponds or ski the hills. We do such things to stay in touch with something inside our being, to expand our horizons and to test ourselves. When we cease to do such things we are no longer alive, we are simply existing. There are few activities that foster the bond between parents and their children than participating in outdoor adventures, simply enjoying the woods together. The outdoors offers inclusive activities that allow both adults and kids to share equally in the experience. Such activities require cooperation and trust between adults and kids while helping to instill traditional values, connectivity with nature and a healthy lifestyle. A parent will discover more about their child in an hour of playing together than can be accomplished in a lifetime of conversation. Shared play is the most genuine act that children and adults can know. It is a fact known throughout history. Herodotus, the Greek historian claimed
The mountains, forests, lakes and streams of the Adirondacks provide an unlimited spectrum of outdoor recreation opportunities. Key to unlocking these treasures is the involvement of one responsible, adult mentor to introduce a kid to the outdoors. For the sake of your community, step up, step out and be that special person. Children will remember you! that: “Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.” I’d like to see New York institute a statewide, school based initiative to promote youth participation in the outdoors. Although numerous public and private groups are currently working to get youth interested and involved in the outdoors; the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation should be charged with the responsibility for developing a comprehensive educational/recreational program for the schools. Such a program could be be offered as a component of physical education or wellness. Increasing youth participation in outdoors is one of the major issues facing the recreation industry today. If young people are not introduced to these opportunities at
an early age, they will engage in other hobbies and interests. Remember, it’s human nature to follow the path of least resistance. The necessity of fostering the next generation of hunters, anglers, hikers, bikers, climbers, skiers and paddlers is one of the most pressing needs of the current conservation community. Today’s children will be tomorrow's policy makers. They will be making the decisions about the utilization and protection of our shared natural resources. In order to insure the viability of these lands and waters in the future, we must make efforts in the current day.
