Seton Catholic to perform musical ‘Godspell.’

shaun@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — On Thursday,  May  2,  the  Champlain  Telephone  Company  held  the  2013  Technology  Showcase  at  the  Knights  of  Columbus  on  Oak Street. It  was  the  fi rst  showcase  of  its  kind  since  the  company  was started in 1903. “The  most  important  thing  is that we continue to adapt to  change,”said  Vicki  Marking,  marketing  manager  for  the  Champlain Telephone Company. “We’re so much more than  just  a  traditional  telephone  company.” About 50 people showed up  to  the  three-hour-long  event,  which  was  comprised  of  fi ve  workshops: social media,  CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Preserving history, one tile at a time By Shaun Kittle

Students get a chance to be job shadows. PAGE 3 OUTDOORS

Brianna Rotella, a junior at Chazy Central Rural School, recently added this bald eagle to the dozen of ceramic tiles she has already completed for a mural depicting the military history and tourism opportunities of the North Country. Once completed, the mural will be displayed at the Plattsburgh International Airport.

CHAZY —  The  art  room  in  the  Chazy  Central  Rural  High  School is fi lled with ceramic tiles. There are thousands of them, popping out of boxes, stacked on  shelves and spread out on the window sills. They  are  like  pieces  to  a  gigantic  jigsaw  puzzle,  which  will  come together to form a mural to be displayed in the Plattsburgh  International Airport sometime next year. Once  complete,  the  lower  portion  of  the  mural  will  act  as  a  time  line  of  military  history  in  the  region,  while  the  top  will  show off everything the region has to offer—from outdoor recreation to natural beauty.   Students in Margaret Gruetzmacher’s eighth through twelfth  grade classes have been participating in the project since the beginning of the school year. At the head of the project is Bucky Seiden, who in 2008 helped  local elementary school students create the ceramic mosaic that  now  adorns  the  Clinton  County  Government  Center  in  Plattsburgh.

A taste of Broadway at Seton Catholic Central By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — A  miniature  version  of  a  classic  musical,  “Godspell,” is coming to Seton Catholic Central High School this  weekend. “We’ve  taken  a  full-length  performance  down  to  a  more  accessible  size,”  said  Adirondack  Regional  Theatre  founder  Tom  Lavin, who is co-drama coach for the performance with his wife,  Pamela. The  original  musical  was  written  by  Stephen  Schwartz  and  based on a book by John-Michael Tebelak.  It opened off Broadway  on May 17, 1971.  The  new,  accessible  size,  called  “Godspell  Jr.,”  omits  one  song  and  What: Godspell Jr., the musical about  a  half  hour  from  Where: Seton Catholic Central the length of the original,  School, 206 New York Rd., Plattsbringing it down to about  burgh one-and-a-half hours. When: May 17–19; Friday and Other  changes  also  inSaturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday cluded  gearing  the  songs  toward  middle  and  high  at 2 p.m. Cost: Tickets are sold at the door school  students,  which  means  no  low  basses  or  and cost $4 for students and senior citizens and $7 for the public. high sopranos. But  even  though  it  has  been  shortened,  Lavin  said  most  aspects  of  the  musical  remain  intact. The  characters  will  still  don  the  colorful  outfi ts  that  helped  make the original musical famous, a combination of styles Lavin  described as “hippies and clowns,” and the integrity of the story  has been preserved as well.   “It follows the Gospel of St. Matthew, telling the story of Jesus  and John the Baptist, but just because it’s based on bible stories,  it’s not necessarily for people who want to be religious,” Lavin  said. “It shows life lessons and how   our actions affect how we  interact with other folks.” The eight-person cast of Godspell has been practicing steadily  for the past two months, squeezing rehearsals in between other  obligations, like sports and academic clubs. “It’s  been  different  for  every  cast  member,  but  we  show  up  when  we  can  and  have  fun  with  it,”  said  Dana  Chapman,  a  twelfth-grade  student  who  plays  an  apostle.  “In  between  rehearsals you can hear people singing the songs. It’s exciting because this musical tells old stories in a new way.” Being  a  musical,  most  of  the  performance  is  done  in  song  styles that include vaudeville, Broadway, ballad and rock. “It has some upbeat songs and they’re all relatable to the bible,  but  we  still  crack  a  lot  of  jokes,”  said  Jamyla  Willette,  a  senior  who plays Jesus. “Everyone should come because the songs are  great, and you don’t see a girl playing Jesus very often.”

Students get chance to be job shadows By Jenna Murray

BEEKMANTOWN — Have  you  ever  held  four  human  skulls?  That’s  just  what  Sophia  Rible, an eighth-grade student at Beekmantown  Middle School, did and during her school-day,  nonetheless.  Sophia,  along  with  her  14  classmates in Dawn Finley’s Home and Career Skills  Class  at  Beekmantown  Middle  School,  participated in the second annual Job Shadow day  sponsored  by  The  Clinton  County  Workforce

Council  and  the  North  Country  Workforce  Investment Board on March 27. The program, which focused around the students’  interests,  aims  to  fi nd  opportunities  for  younger students so they can start to focus on  their future now.  “There are so many opportunities to engage  these  students  in  within  this  region,”  Elaine  Reynolds,  of  Pfi zer  Pharmaceuticals,  and  a  member  of  the  North  Country  Workforce  Investment  Board,  said.  “We  understand  how  critical it is to involve students at an early age

and  these  students  were  enthusiastic  about  starting to work toward their future now.” Schulter Systems, along with many other organizations  saw  the  importance  of  a  program  such as this and donated their time and resources to help the students learn some very valuable  lessons  outside  of  the  classroom  and  explore  their  interests.  The  following  organizations  along  with  Schulter  Systems  who  participated  include;  Eagle’s  Nest  Veterinary  Clinic,  WIRY  Hometown  Radio,  SUNY  Plattsburgh  Anthropology Department, the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, Clinton County Sheriff’s  Offi ce, Perkins and Legends Restaurant and Dr.  Tom Gerner, DDS. v While Schulter systems provided transportation to each of these locations, the students were  able to participate in the day-to-day operations  at each facility. Thus, giving these students fi rsthand experience as to what a ‘day at the offi ce’  really means. Jason  Kozilsky,  Food  Production  Manager

from  Perkins  Restaurant  and  Bakery  and  Legends  Brew  Pub  and  Grill  understands  the  importance of job shadowing experience.  “I believe job shadowing events play an important role for our youth,” Kozilsky said. “The  key is to make sure that the students are actively  engaged  in  their  interests  and  most  important, are having fun while doing so.”  The  six  students  who  visited  Perkins  and  Legends prepared 28 lunches for the staff of this  event and their fellow classmates. Sophia  Rible  was  interested  in  forensic  anthropology  but  wasn’t  sure  that  she  would  be  able  to  fi nd  a  job  shadow  opportunity  in  this  area.  To  Sophia’s  surprise,  she  was  able  to  spend several hours with three professors from  SUNY  Plattsburgh’s  Anthropology  Department,  where  she  held  four  human  skulls  and  was asked to accompany the professors for local research projects this summer due to her impressive interest and education on the subject.

Hosts sought to welcome Canadian students in Plattsburgh By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH —  Officials  of  Plattsburgh  University  are  seeking  community  members  who  are  interested  in  hosting  an  exchange student from a neighboring country while the student  learns about American government and community services.  About  17  students  and  three  faculty  advisors  from all  over  Canada  including  the  Northern  Tier, Yukon, Alberta  and  Nova  Scotia  will  begin  their  program  at  the  American  Embassy  in  Ottawa  to  learn  first-hand  about  their  government.  The  group will then travel to Plattsburgh where they will take part in daily  workshops on campus and learn about local history from July 10  through the 22. Finally, they will finish their program in Washington, D.C., where they will learn more about the U.S. government and see local landmarks.  The  student  exchange  was  arranged  by  the  Center  for  the  Study  of  Canada  at  SUNY  Plattsburgh  with  the  support  of  the  Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs, United States Department  of  State,  and  the  United  States  Embassy  Ottawa  &  Fullbright.  It  is  paid  through  a  grant  from  the  Youth  Ambassador  Program.

Theresa Bennett, Home Stay Coordinator for the Youth Ambassadors Program, said they are looking for a variety of hosts in the  community.  “Single, a couple, homes with children, homes without children,  we have so many ways to define a family here in America and we  can show our visiting students or teachers the different ways we  live  our  lives,”  Bennett  said.  “We  usually  receive  students  from  countries that are further away like South America but sometimes  we think because they are so close we know a lot about them and  sometimes we actually know less.”  Canadian  students  will  participate  in  the  program  that  emphasizes community service and is designed to promote a better  understanding of civic participation and the rights and responsibilities of citizens in a democracy. An important facet of this curriculum  is  staying  with  and  getting  to  know American  families.  Bennett  said  the  students  will  come  from  all  over  Canada  and  have  diverse  backgrounds.  Some  students  are  first-generation  Canadians,  First  Nations  members,  of  Inuit  descent,  and  multigenerational Canadians. Bennett said the host families will need to provide their guests  with  accommodations,  breakfast,  possibly  transportation  to  the  campus and a light dinner during the 12-day stay. The group will  arrive in the afternoon July 10 and leave in the morning July 22.  The participants will be involved in an intensive curriculum from

8 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day.  “It’ll be an exciting time for both the hosts and the visitors, with  the Mayors Cup being held at the same time there will be a lot they  can get out and do at night,” Bennett said.  Bennett said some hosts prefer to take in more than one student  or faculty member.  The participating students have never been to the United States  before and while they are here will focus on how to make a difference in both the government and community service.  “The  kids  that  are  coming  must  be  able  to  commit  to  stay  in  their hometown for at least a year after this program so they can  implement  a  community  service  program  in  their  hometown,”  Bennett  said.  “The  U.S.  is  one  of  the  leading  countries  in  terms  of community services, many other countries believe the government should be just in charge of everything.” People  interested  in  hosting  must  submit  an  application  and  agree to a criminal background check. Bennett said the committee  would  like  to  have  all  the  matches  done  in  early  June  and  asks  interested  parties  to  turn  in  their  applications  by  the  first  week  of June.  For  more  information  about  the  hosting  opportunity  contact  Bennett at 564-2160 or theresa.bennett@plattsburgh.edu.

Halsey gravestone repair fund drive reopened The  collapsing  gravestone  of  Clinton  County’s  pioneer  pastor  and  War  of  1812  chaplain  in  Plattsburgh’s  Riverside  Cemetery was the focus of a winter collection county-wide to match  a  $5,000  grant  opportunity  from  the  National  Daughters  of  the  American Revolution.   The $2,500 goal was quickly reached by  mid-Feb and called off at $3,600 from 56 donors.  But word has  just  been  received  from  DAR’s  Washington  headquarters  that  the Halsey Gravestone Restoration Project was not one of the 28  grants awarded this year.   Thus the “Halsey Gravestone Repair  Fund Drive” is reopened to seek the remaining $1,400 needed for  the project’s budget of $5,000, with restoration work to be done  this summer.  The  Rev.  Frederick  Halsey,  a  former  pioneer  pastor,  educator and chaplain of Plattsburgh, NY is laid to rest in the oldest  section  of  Plattsburgh’s  Riverside  Cemetery.  It  was  brought  to  the attention of Jim Bailey, retired Plattsburgh city historian that  Halsey’s  1838  gravestone  is  in  danger.    The  side  walls  of  this  horizontal, raised slab grave are falling, and without repair the  slab itself will soon break.  In turn, the Battle of Plattsburgh Association  unanimously  agreed  that  this  was  a  project  that  they  wanted to partner with Jim on.  It is the mission of the association  to undertake a national education effort to publicize the significance of the Battle of Plattsburgh in the War of 1812 and our nation’s history.   Reverend Halsey’s work as a Chaplain during the  Battles of Plattsburgh is an important piece of our history.   Rev.  Frederick  Halsey  received  a  letter  of  invitation  in  1794  from  Judge  Thomas  Tredwell,  asking  him  to  relocate  to  Plattsburgh, NY to organize a new school for the community.  In August 1975, at the age 30, Halsey moved to Plattsburgh from Long

Island with two goals.  First, he would begin the first church in  Clinton County and minister to the local Presbyterians, meeting  in the blockhouse on Cumberland Avenue.   Secondly, he would organize and open a school as requested.  The  school  opened  in  1811  and  was  known  as  the  Academy,  and  stood  at  the  site  of  our  current  Plattsburgh  Public  Library.   Halsey went on to serve as a Chaplain for the 8th Regiment, commanded by  his  neighbor, Thomas  Miller.      Their  graves  in Riverside Cemetery are on either side of that of British naval commander George Downie, where a ceremony is held each year the  week of September 11.  Rev. Halsey’s stone house still stands on  Tom  Miller  Road,  300  feet  west  of  “Halsey’s  Corner”,  site  of  a  bloody skirmish with the advancing British army on Sept.6, 1814 This is an appeal to individuals and organizations in the area  to  join  us  in  raising  the  remaining  $1400  needed  by  June  15th.   Presbyterians,  educators,  veterans,  history  buffs…all  interested  in preserving our Clinton County history…are invited to contribute to the “Rev. Halsey Grave Restoration” fund in the few weeks  ahead so that work can begin as soon as possible.     Checks  in  any  amount  can  be  made  out  to  “Battle  of  Plattsburgh Association,” marked “for Halsey grave restoration,” and  mailed or taken to 31 Washington Road, Plattsburgh NY 12903.   BOPA’s War of 1812 Museum is open Wednesday through Saturday, 10am -3pm and located at 31 Washington Rd, on the former  AFB directly behind the big planes.  Visa, MasterCard, and Discover Credit Cards may also be used by phoning Tammy Brown,  Museum  Manager  at  (518)  566-1814.  The  Battle  of  Plattsburgh  Association is a registered 501-C-3 non-for-profit organization in  the State of New York. Receipts will be issued for all donations.

t’s that time of year again. Time to enjoy  life  without  layers,  time  to  enjoy  the  extended days and time to enjoy the bounty  of our local farmers’ harvests. And in the North  Country, it’s easy to do all three. Last  Saturday,  many  farmers  markets  throughout  the  region,  including  the  Plattsburgh Farmers and Crafters Market, opened for  the season. They will continue to spring up like  wildflowers, and the ones that didn’t open last  week will be opening soon enough, with the final stragglers ready for business by the end of  June. It’s true that many fruits and vegetables won’t  be ready until later in the season, but a visit to  a  farmers  market  this  time  of  year  will  reveal  more than fresh produce. Beneath the bustling  pavilion at the Plattsburgh farmers market, the  vendors proudly stand by their wares, products  like  candles,  jewelry,  soaps,  art,  honey,  wine,  Adirondack  chairs  and  wildflower  teas.  Their  products might not have been harvested in the  same way an apple is plucked from a tree, but  they  were  all  crafted  locally,  by  people  many  consider to be family, friends or neighbors. This time of year there is a sparse selection of  straight-from-the-ground edibles available, too,  such as some of the hardier leafy greens and a  few plants harvested from our local forests, like  wild leeks and wild ginger. As summer continues, the variety of veggies will only increase as  crops reach their peak, and the best part is, their  yield is not only delicious—it’s affordable. We have written about the benefits of buying  local  before,  and  that  sentiment  is  still  as  important  now  as  it  was  in  the  past.  But  farmers  markets  aren’t  entirely  self-serving.  Sure,  the  farmers and crafters benefit from an increase in  sales,  and  why  shouldn’t  they?  They  are  providing us with healthy food grown in a sustainable  manner  at  a  low  cost,  but  the  function  of  these markets also serves the consumer, and the  community. Take  a  trip  to  downtown  Plattsburgh  this  Saturday  and  see  for  yourself.  There  is  a  feeling of intimacy there, a connection as the buyer  speaks  to  the  producer  first  hand  and  learns  about how the product came to be. The smooth

surface of that black walnut bowl wasn’t mass  produced  in  a  factory  somewhere  overseas,  it  was  made  by  hand  from  a  tree  that  was  destined  for  a  wood  chipper.  The  grapes  used  to  make  that  wine  are  cold-hardy,  much  like  the  citizens of our region. There is a woman living  in  the  town  of  Keene  who  makes  soaps,  bath  salts  and  bug  balms,  and  she  will  tell  you  all  about  how  her  concoctions  can  relieve  stress,  tension, and insect bites. Through those interactions, farmers markets  begin to take on a greater purpose and become  a  community  gathering  space  where  relationships,  and  trust,  are  formed  between  the  consumer and the producer. Try speaking to one of  the  many  farmers  present  and  ask  him  or  her  questions.  Some  will  offer  advice  on  gardening,  and  others  can  tell  you  about  their  Community Supported Agriculture program, where  consumers can purchase a share of the farm and  receive a bounty of goods each week. In many  cases,  it’s  like  purchasing  your  vegetables  for  the year all at once. Some CSA’s offer meat, maple syrup, honey, milk and cheeses, too. And for  those  who  need  assistance,  most  local  farmers  markets accept food stamps and WIC coupons. But the benefits of farmers markets don’t end  at the pavilion. Since visitors to the Plattsburgh  Farmers and Crafters Market are already downtown,  many  of  them  will  grab  a  bite  to  eat  or  explore  some  of  Plattsburgh’s  many  fine  businesses  while  they  are  there.  The  draw  of  the  market also draws people to those places, and  in  the  process  it  neatly  ties  together  many  of  the  things  most  Plattsburgh  residents  desire— a thriving downtown built upon a high quality  of life, high quality local products, and a strong  sense of community.  The Plattsburgh Farmers and Crafters Market  is  held  every  Saturday,  from  9  a.m.–2  p.m.,  at  the Farmers Market Pavilion, located by Bridge,  Durkee and Broad streets downtown. For more  information,  visit  plattsburghfarmersandcraftersmarket.com.  To  find  a  farmers  market  near  you, visit adirondackharvest.com and look under the “Local Food Maps” tab. —Denton Editorial Board

Style and Substance: On having children Dear style & substance, My wife and I are in our early 30s and have been married for  2  years.  She  really  seems  to  be  all  about  babies  and  starting  to  press this issue with me. The thought of beginning a family terrifies  me.  I  feel  like  I  need  to  have  my  career  on  a  better  track  before I can agree. She says it will never be the right time. How  do I know that? Starting  and  having  a  family  is  a  big  responsibility,  it  is  also  one of the greatest joys in life. You may be coming from different  backgrounds and this could be where your differences lie. Your  wife may see it as more of an emotional decision where you see  it as a financial decision. Your discussions could start with these  three ideas in mind.  Your perceptions of your family life growing up could be adding to your fear; money may have been tight, your parents may  have  struggled  with  their  relationship,  some  of  your  siblings  may  have  caused  a  lot  of  worry,  etc.  Her  perceived  family  life  may have been different. Instead of rehashing all of this, you may  have  a  series  of  talks  about  what  your  family  would  look  and  feel  like;  how  do  you  see  your  roles  as  parents?  How  will  you  support each other in careers and other responsibilities? Your areas  of  agreement  can  help  alleviate  some  concerns  about  being

parents.  Be confident that you already have a marriage built on  compatibility and respect and expect that your parenting will be  a natural continuation of this relationship. Watch  and  learn.  Pick  role  models;  some  young  parents  that  are  operating  in  a  way  that  appeals  to  your  values  and  makes  sense  to  you. Also,  watch  some  parenting  styles  that  are  really  aggravating your worries; ask yourself why this style causes you  concern  and  how  you  might  avoid  those  parenting  situations  once  you  are  in  that  role.  Be  aware,  that  even  the  best  parenting preparation will bring children with their own temperaments  and styles, there are always adjustments. See where these conversations and observations bring you and  your spouse. Continue to discuss where you would like to be financially and what you consider to be your roles in the financial  well-being of your family. Discuss how your family finances and  career  choices  will  affect  your  day  to  day  life  as  a  family.  Discussing decisions about child care, work schedules, and time as a  family will help guide your decisions about when to have a child.

It should not be about rails versus trails

It  is  a  shame  that  we  are  having  a  long  public  debate  about  rails  or  trails.    It  is  a  choice  that  should  not  be  made.  Those  who  advocate  removing  the  rails  are  asking  the  State  to  make  a  decision  which  will  satisfy  some  people  while  angering  others. “Win/Lose.”  Elected and appointed officials should not be  expected to do that when a “Win/Win” is possible.  New York  State agencies and many stakeholders have already spent years  creating the current Unit Management Plan which, if fully implemented, will satisfy a very wide range of interests.  The next step  should be full implementation.   ANCA  agreed  to  be  the  pre-application  sponsor  for  federal  Strategic Transportation Enhancement Program (STEP) funding  because  the  Adirondack  Railway  Preservation  Society  (ARPS)  had  done  a  detailed  analysis  to  determine  how  much  it  would  cost  to  rehabilitate  the  line  to  Class  II  passenger  service  (up  to  35  miles  an  hour).    On  the  trail  issue,  it  is  more  complicated.   The  UMP  calls  for  a  north-south  trail  and  says  it  should  move  outside of the travel corridor to adjoining State lands and private  lands (through easements) as needed to avoid obstacles.  However,  neither  DEC  nor  DOT  has  defined  this  trail  with  specific  delineations on maps or on the ground.   What is needed south  of Saranac Lake is detailed trail planning to determine the best  physical layout, development costs, and legal and operational issues.  This will require an interagency effort with key stakeholders, including local governments and recreational users.   The rails and related infrastructure should be preserved and

“The Adirondack North Country Association hereby re-states  its  support  for  the  mixed-use  management  objectives  of  the  Remsen-Lake  Placid  Travel  Corridor  Final  Management  Plan,  currently in force, and further supports the retention of all railroad  infrastructure  which  can  support  economic  development,  including  tourism,  through  enhanced  rail  operations  in  the  future.”    Resolution by the ANCA Board of Directors, September 27, 2012 It should be noted that the focus of ANCA’s resolution is on  the  “mixed-use  management  objectives”  of  the  existing  Unit  Management Plan (UMP).  ANCA sees significant economic opportunity in the retention and further use of the rails and in the  broader use of the rail corridor for trail-based recreation including hiking, biking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, etc.  All  of these are acknowledged to be desirable in the UMP and that  plan  actually  directs  DOT  and  DEC  to  develop  both.    Rail  and  trail activities are economic engines that can build our local and  regional  economies.    We  need  to  fully  understand  the  synergy  between them and we need better planning and focused investments to ensure we can have both.

Guest Viewpoint rehabilitated.  They are important economic development assets  and are part of a system listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places.  At the same time, the State of New York,  with local government and not-for-profit partners, should complete a pragmatic implementation plan for the current UMP that  clearly  defines  a  north-south  trail  system  to  meet  the  needs  of  recreational users, including snowmobilers who have full access  to the corridor during the winter.   We  are  pleased  that  ARPS  recognizes  that  trains  should  be  used as for recreational access, moving people and their kayaks,  canoes, mountain bikes and other gear to launch points and trail  heads  along  the  corridor.    Just  imagine  how  the  rail  line  and  a  trail system between communities could help our region become  a stronger destination for paddlers, mountain bikers, and hikers.   Building synergy between rails and trails is a core objective of  the current UMP.  We don’t need to waste valuable resources and  time revising that document.  We need to make it work for both  rail and trail related activities and for the communities along the  corridor.   A  man  I  greatly  respect  has  said,  “people  in  the Adirondacks would rather fight than win.”  While we have moved  beyond that in most areas through such good efforts as the Common  Ground Alliance  and  the Adirondack  Futures  Project,  the  rail versus trail argument is a perfect example of preferring fighting over winning.  Stephen M.

Letters to the Editor

Flagging respect To the North Countryman: Now that Sheriff Cutting has opened the topic of respect for  the American flag (North Countryman May 4, 2013), I feel compelled to further the conversation with my own humble observations. In America, each of us has the privilege to express our patriotic  fervor in the proud display of our flag. However, it is a privilege  that comes with responsibilities. We may proudly fly our flag all  day, but when evening descends, unless she is properly illuminated, Old Glory must be lowered and folded; and she must not  be allowed to languish sadly in the rain or snow; and when she  has served her time and become tattered and faded, she should  be given proper and respectful burial or burning. These are some  of the rules of the ritual of display of the American flag I learned  years ago in boy scouts. As for those who choose to  display the  flag whipping  in  the  wind from their speeding car or truck, I suggest when she separates  from  her  standard  that  the  patriot  behind  the  wheel  take  time to stop and rescue her from the abuse and grime of the open  road. To those citizens who find these responsibilities too daunting  or cumbersome I suggest you channel your patriotism into something more abstract, such as the freedom to speak your mind, a  privilege  we  have  in America;  a  privilege  also  fraught  with  responsibilities. Robert Segall Upper Jay

Not hardly Erman To the North Countryman: Steve Erman’s “It Needn’t be Rails vs Trails” says if the current  Corridor  Management  Plan  were  to  be  “fully  implemented,”  it  would “satisfy a very wide range of interests.” Not hardly. The  Management Plan clearly states that there cannot be a trail parallel to the rail bed for much of its length. And from what I know  of the adjacent terrain, there is no possibility for a parallel route  both  flat  enough  for  bicycling  and  wide  enough  for  frequent  snowmobile traffic. Mr. Erman says that according to the Management Plan, the DEC and the DOT are responsible for looking  for  alternate  routes  -  to  include  easements  across  private  land  where necessary.  Nice  way  to  pass  the  buck.  From  my  knowledge  of  the  land  on either side of the corridor, I seriously doubt whether any such  routes exist. If there indeed are such routes, to date neither the  Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) nor the Adirondack Scenic Railroad have, with one exception offered even the  slightest hint of where these alternate routes might go. That one  exception vaguely mentioned a new trail between Inlet and Ra-

quette Lake - locations that are nowhere near the Corridor and  cannot be connected to the Corridor. Mr. Erman also fails to mention that their funding application  is for a whopping $15.2 million. If approved, this will bring the  total  NYS  funding  for  this  project  to  over  $50  million.  The  $15  million will only produce a 30-35 mph railroad that will take six  hours to travel from Utica to Lake Placid. If that same train stops  to drop off and pick up recreationists at remote locations, the trip  will be a lot longer.  ANCA has promoted their funding application to local elected  boards as “rail with trail”; but since the “trail” part does not appear to be possible, the overall premise of their application has  little or no credibility. That leaves us with just the “rail” service  that few would use - it being even slower than the 19th Centuryspeed passenger service abandoned over 50 years ago. Keeping  the rails in place, however, precludes the creation of a recreational  trail  that  will  be  unlike  any  other  trail  in  the  Adirondacks.  Based on the experience with other rail trails, this unique recreational opportunity will actually help the economy by attracting  many new visitors to the area.  Tony Goodwin Keene

This year there were over 75 projects completed through-out  Clinton,  Essex  and  Franklin  Counties  with  volunteers  logging  over 1,350 hours in one day. The communities’ willingness to get  involved and to assist with these projects was instrumental to the  overall success.

2nd Amendment To the North Countryman:  In her letter to the editor on May 4, Monique Weston begins by  quoting the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. She then  proceeds to insist that the word “regulated” somehow has nothing to do with the training of the militia, but instead she invokes  the power of the courts and argues that it has to do with government management of the militia. Regardless of what the courts  may say, and even though they may have the authority to say so,  this cannot be the correct interpretation, else the second half of  the amendment, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms,  shall not be infringed” would not be the logical conclusion. Instead, the logical conclusion would be something like “the right  of  the  government  to  keep  an  armed  force  for  deployment  in  times of emergency, shall not be infringed.” No, the word “regulated”  cannot  refer  to  government  management  of  the  militia,  and the word “militia” cannot refer to today’s State Militia simply on the basis that it is the same word, or that some prior ruling  has been cited. If the Second Amendment is to be considered as  a whole, the militia is meant to be comprised of the people and  be managed by the people, without government interference. Although the courts have the authority to interpret the law, they are  not by virtue of their position always right. They as individuals  are swayed by their personal convictions and are as likely to err  as any of the rest of us.   After  further  consideration,  however,  I  will  agree  with  Ms.  Weston that the word “trained” is not a proper substitute for the  word  “regulated.”  Training  is  only  part  of  being  “well  regulated.” An individual may be well trained in the use of his firearm,  and many well-trained individuals may come together as militia  with intent to maintain or regain the security of their free state.  But they need to be organized. They need to be drilled and disciplined. They need to learn how to function as a cohesive unit.  In  short  they  need  effective  leadership.  It  is  both  training  and  leadership  that  enables  the  militia  to  be  characterized  as  “well  regulated”.   The  Second  Amendment  is  only  one  of  ten  that  are  known  as  the  Bill  of  Rights.  Each  of  these  amendments  speaks  to  the  empowerment  and  protection  of  the  people  from  the  government, and to the limitation of the government’s power and authority over the people. It is ludicrous to insist that the Second  Amendment is somehow different, that it is intended to subject  the  people  to  additional  government  “regulation.”  The  Second  Amendment is only “maddeningly ambiguous” to those who refuse to accept the possibility that it means exactly what it says,  as it is written in plain English. Nevertheless, we are bound to  abide by the courts’ decisions, that is, until they lose sight of the  meaning  of  “shall  not  be  infringed.”  The  people  may  one  day  decide when this has happened. This is not a threat. It is a sad  prediction, based on the historical events that led to the creation  of this nation. I hope I am wrong but I see an ember smoldering.  The courts would be wise not to fan it into flame.

DEC warns of muddy trails in High Peaks RAY  BROOK — With  the  start  of  a  new  season  of  outdoor  hiking and recreation, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) urges hikers to be cautious and  postpone hikes on trails above 3,000 feet until early June when  muddy trail conditions are expected to improve. Trails  and  vegetation  in  the  higher  elevations  are  most  vulnerable  at  this  time  of  year  when  melting  snow  saturates  thin  soils found on the steep slopes of the mountains and much of the  vegetation growing in high elevations is surviving on the edge  of existence. Hikers can cause severe erosion of trails and signifi cant damage to vegetation. DEC urges hikers to avoid hiking on high elevation trails during mud season. Specifi cally, all trails above 3,000 feet in the Dix,  Giant and High Peaks Wildernesses but also any high elevation  trails on steep slopes throughout the Adirondacks. Hikers  are  also  more  likely  to  slip  and  injure  themselves  on  steep, wet and muddy trails. On  the  lower  elevation  trails,  snows  melt  sooner,  soils  are  thicker and dry more quickly, slopes are not as steep and vegetation  is  less  sensitive  to  damage  from  hikers.  Even  lower  eleva-

Scheduled  for  Saturday, Aug.  3,  at  Big  Tupper  Ski Area,  The  Tupperpalooza Warrior Run is a challenging 3.5 mile race made  up  of  a  mix  of  intense  obstacles,  treacherous  mountain  terrain  and  lots  of  mud.  Participants  can  compete  individually  or  as  a  team of four. With  nearly  200  athletes  participating  in  the  very  successful 2012 inaugural run, the 2013 Tupperpalooza Warrior Run is  guaranteed not to disappoint. The race committee is already at  work planning a longer and tougher course with new obstacles  and  most  defi nitely  more  mud.  There  will  also  be  a  children’s  course for children 13 and under. “Obstacle races are really growing in popularity” said Tupper  Lake Events Coordinator, Michelle Clement. “It’s exciting to be  able to grow a race that is not only a great experience for the athletes, but is also an event that draws a strong visitor base to the  Tupper Lake community.” Also new this year, the race will feature ChronoTrack timing  provided by FastFishes.net. ChronoTrack provides timing solutions  for  many  of  the  largest  races  in  the  country.  All  Tupperpalooza  Warrior  Run  participants  will  receive  timing  chips  at  registration. This will not only provide extremely accurate race  results, but will also allow for less congestion on the race course  as athletes start in race waves.  “We can now keep track of just how tough our warriors really  are,” says Clement.

The social media workshop took a look at various forms of social media, like Pinterest and Facebook,  and  educated  attendees  about  how  those  websites  can  be  utilized  for  both  personal  and  business interests. “One  of  the  other  topics,  mobile  devices,  mostly  covered  tablets  and  smart  phones,”  Marking  said. “We gave them an overview on the different devices and services compare and contrast. We  just want people to be more informed, so they can pick and choose what is best for them.” There are also a lot of internet speeds available, so the showcase helped people choose the best  speed based on what they use the internet for. It explained that someone who only uses the internet for casual browsing probably doesn’t need  as much bandwidth as someone who is downloading videos. “We are an internet company, so if people want the biggest, fastest package, we’re absolutely able  to sell it to them, but we also want people to get what they need,” Marking said. “We’d rather have  people at a level they actually need.” A workshop on getting video content over the internet gave people options besides satellite television for finding entertainment online, and included popular sites like Hulu and Netflix. And  tying  it  all  together,  the  basic  computer  know-how  workshop  answered  basic  questions  regarding  home  computers,  like  setting  up  emails,  regular  computer  maintenance  and  updating  antivirus software. “As an internet service provider, we want people to see all of the wonderful things they can get  on the internet,” Marking said.  “We  just  want  to  promote  the  use of the internet in its entirety, and people can’t fully use it  unless  they  know  about  all  of  these things.” The  Champlain  Telephone  Protect your eyes Company  plans  on  holding  another  Technology  Showcase  You should wear from solar radiation. next  year.  In  the  meantime,  sunglasses their  annual  Customer Apprewhile you’re: ciation Day is slated to be held  at  the  company’s  headquar• Working • Driving ters, 1118 Rt. 9, Champlain, on  Saturday, Aug. 17. • Walking

Chazy Tiles From page 1

Seiden now spends a lot of her time at Chazy  Central, coaching students on all things ceramic. First, she explained, they researched the history of the military in Plattsburgh from 1800 until 1995, when the Airforce Base closed. The students took to computers, uncovering  old photographs and stories about life in Plattsburgh some 200 years ago. Once  an  image  is  selected,  it  is  printed  and  the back is colored using water color pencils.  The  picture  is  then  placed,  colored  side  down, on a slab of clay, and once it’s removed  its image remains on the clay. This ghost image is used as a template to etch  details into the clay before the back is scored. Some tiles are only one piece, but others are  rather large and consist of more than one layer.  To  make  sure  those  tiles  dry  evenly  when  fired in the kiln, clay from the thickest portions  is gouged out using a loop tool—a looped piece  of wire on a wooden handle.   Hundreds of the tiles are placed on racks in  the kiln to dry, a process called bisquing, after  which they can be glazed and fired again. Since the tiles aren’t likely to fit together perfectly,  thousands  of  smaller  pieces  were  also  made to fill in the gaps.  “We  started  working  on  this  the  first  day  of  school,”  Seiden  said.  “They  wanted  to  have  it  finished  by  the  summer,  but  it  looks  like  the  project will continue into the next school year.  It’s just too massive.” Seiden explained that the wealth of information  uncovered  by  the  students  is  responsible  for  the  ever-growing  mural,  which  could  be  about 16 feet wide and consist of 39 feet of edging tile by the time it’s finished.  “We were originally going to do a 4-by-6 foot  mosaic and donate it to the airport, but once we  started doing research we realized there was no  way we can fit all this information on a 4-by-6.  It was just too much,” Seiden said.

May 18, 2013

A  project  of  this  size  costs  money,  though— to  the  tune  of  about  $35,000. To  support  it,  Seiden  and Gruetzmacher have  applied for and received  grants,  but  it  isn’t  enough. So  now  they’re  asking  for  help  from  the  community,  and  donors  of  $5,000  or  more  will  become  a  part  of  the  finished  piece  and  have  a 12-inch tile made with  their  name,  organization,  corporate  name  or  logo on it. It  is,  according  to  both  Seiden  and  Gruetzmacher,  a  great  way  to  advertise  while  supporting  art  and  local  tourism. And  the  artists  receiving  the  support  are  more  than  eager  to  see  the project completed. Brianna  Rotella,  a  junior  at  Chazy  Central,  has completed at least a  dozen  tiles  for  the  mu- Bucky Seiden is working with Margaret Gruetzmacher’s art classes at Chazy Central Rural School to create a mural depicting the military history and tourism opportunities of the North Country.

pelted us with sleet and hail, it was great to be on the water again. Over the weekend, I set off with an old guest on Lake Placid  in a search for lake trout, and we managed to fi nd a few cooperative specimens. However, with water temperatures hovering  around 58 degrees, the lakers were rather disagreeable, and we  only managed to pull one in the boat, before gently releasing it. However, our luck soon changed after we retreated to a small,  stream where the brookies were anxious to feed.  They attacked  just about anything we tossed their way, and we tossed a lot of  fl ies. The weekend of angling adventures was fi nally complete after  we  spent  a  few  hours  fl ycasting  cork  poppers  to  big  bass  that  were cruising the shallow shorelines of a small, private lake. The largemouth proved to be voracious, healthy and just itching for a fi ght. I think they would’ve hit an old boot, if we could  have fi gured a way to tie it one on! On the return trip back to the lodge, we stumbled upon a small  tributary stream that was chuck full of large pods of marsh marigolds. The striking yellow fl owers, with green leaves stood in stark  contrast  with  the  black  waters  of  the  tiny  stream.    Nearby,  we  found fi ddlehead ferns that were as yet unfurled, and specimens  of both painted and purple trilliums.

t certainly has been an interesting week to be in the woods.   I spent a few days fi shing, on both the ponds and the rivers  and  the  remainder  of  my  time  was  devoted  to  arranging  details for an LL Bean photo shoot. The  Bean  photo  shoot  crew  encountered  an  interesting  mix  of  Adirondack  weather  patterns.  There  was  brilliant  sunshine,  calm waters and 75 degree temperatures on one day, and the next  day delivered raging winds, horizontal snow and whitecaps that  were so heavy the crew was almost washed off the docks.
