St. Ann’s Bazaar to have own version of ‘Idol’
Community gardens growing toward the Northern Tier By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com
By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com MOOERS FORKS — If you’re still reeling from the season finale of American Idol and need a fix, then there’s a challenge that might be what you’re looking for. St. Ann’s Church will host its annual St. Ann’s Bazaar this Sunday, June 7, this year featuring its own version of the popular television show’s singing competition. Paula Ashline, chairperson of the bazaar ’s entertainment committee, said “St. Ann’s American Idol” is actually a new twist on an old favorite for the familyoriented event. “Idol Fever,” as its come to be known, swept the North Country earlier this year when Nathaniel “Nate” Marshall of Malone made
Marge and Royce Pombrio, left, and Ron Trombly stand by a sign for the Mooers Community Garden on LaValley Road in Mooers. The garden began recently with a land donation from Trombly.

MOOERS — Community gardens are becoming increasingly popular for providing nutritious food, reducing food budgets and even improving neighborhood development. And, as they’ve been seen popping up throughout the region, Mooers is getting in on the growing trend. The Mooers Community Garden has been established on LaValley Road on six acres of land owned by Mooers resident Ron Trombly, who came up with the idea. “[Trombly] said he had been cultivating it for the last few years and he didn’t have a need for it,” explained Marge Pombrio, who serves as the public relations liaison for the garden group. With the abundance of land donated for use as a community garden, Pombrio and her husband, Royce, worked to set up 20-foot by 70-foot plot lines, leaving a plot for themselves. “We can make smaller plots. We can make some
half the size,” Pombrio said. “We’re new at this too, so, we just want to help the community.” So far, only one other taker has chosen to set up a plot, leaving plenty of space for more plots to begin. Considering plots are free of charge and not limited to Mooers residents, Pombrio said she’d like to see interest and the garden enlarge. “It really is a wonderful opportunity for families that either live in apartments or mobile homes that don’t have land or don’t have land worked up or don’t have the knowledge,” she said. “We’re not experts by any means, but if we can help anybody with anything, we’d be glad to.” “It may be too late this year to get more than one or two more people,” she added, “though the way that the weather has been, it’s so cold that people will be starting their gardens maybe later.” Currently, the Mooers Community Garden does not have a water source, except for the Great Chazy

Students honor veterans through class project By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — History has not been forgotten, at least at Northeastern Clinton Central High School. Students from Kathryn Dermody’s History of World War II class recently thanked local veterans for all they have done while serving their country. The students hosted a dinner at the school May 27, inviting them to enjoy a meal prepared by the students and hear words of thanks
from the very children who benefit from the freedoms the men fought to protect. “These kids had to do a community service project and they really gave it some thought,” said Dermody. “They decided they wanted to do a dinner and worked really hard to make it something special for our veterans.” The students worked on every detail of the event, from the food to the background music, place Students in Kathryn Dermody’s History of World War II class pose with local veterans during a dinner held in the veterans’ honsettings to decorations, and

Nephew receives 2009 Elizabeth Heins award By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com ALTONA — When Barbara Nephew learned she was recipient of the 2009 Elizabeth Heins Inspirational Survivorship Award, she was in total shock. The 68-year-old cancer survivor and Plattsburgh resident was among a room full of people attending the 11th annual Treasure Chests Rainbow of Ribbons Soiree May 21 at the Rainbow Wedding and Banquet Hall when she was called up to accept the award. “I was thinking, ‘Oh my God. I guess this means I have to go on stage,’” said Nephew, laughing. “I was wondering what I was going to say and, of course, when you do that, you draw a blank.” The award annually recognizes a breast cancer survivor who has exhibited the same characteristics as Elizabeth Heins, who was diagnosed with breast cancer, among other medical issues, in the mid-1980s. Nephew was nominated by her peers for her commitment to cancer awareness groups and other efforts since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. Nephew’s cancer was classified as inflammatory breast cancer, which is a more aggressive and rare form of breast cancer, she explained. In Nephew’s case, there was no lump in her breast to tip her off to the cancer within her. Though her cancer was treated with chemotherapy and radiation and she underwent a mastectomy, cancer reoccurred in her clavicle region a few years later. She went through further treatment and is doing well today. What’s kept Nephew going since her life was first affected by cancer has been focusing on others, she said, just as the late Elizabeth Heins was known for. Nephew began teaching religion at her church, and, being a retired elementary school teacher, she found great joy in substitute teaching as a way to occupy her time. “I purposely kept myself busy thinking about other people,” she said. Nephew also became active in the Treasure Chests breast cancer support group through CVPH Medical Center, and began working on committees for cancer awareness events such as the annual Susan G. Komen Foundation Race for the Cure held in Albany and the an-

nual Relay for Life walk held in Plattsburgh. Overall, Nephew’s experience with cancer is one that has forever changed her perspective, which is why she has since tried to get as much out of life as possible. “I think you realize that you’re not immortal,” said Nephew. “It’s something you never think about and all of a sudden you realize no one lives forever and that you need to pack in as much as you can.” Though she thanked everyone for the award, Nephew said her state of shock she believed she forgot to pay tribute to the memory of Elizabeth Heins. “I never knew her, but I was at the Treasure Chests meetings when people were saying we’ve got to do something for Elizabeth,” Nephew recalled of the time in 2005 shortly after Heins suc-
cumbed to cancer. “That’s when they came up with the award which is a great way to honor Elizabeth and all that I understand she stood for.” Though she is the recipient of this year ’s award, a humbled Nephew said she felt there are “many other nominees who are probably more worthy than I am.” “I’m still feeling like how can this be me, even though I have this award that tells me so. It’s just amazing,” said Nephew. “It’s unbelievable. And, these are big shoes to fill, too.” Since established, the Elizabeth Heins Inspirational Survivorship Award has been given to Gracelyn Murphy, Cyndi Topnick, Marie Beemer and Libby Goller. In addition to recipients receiving a plaque, their photographs are placed on permanent display at the CVPH Fitzpatrick Cancer Center.
Breakfast to raise money for Scouting this Tuesday Community encouraged to support ‘core piece of a quality community’ By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com
41402
SATURDAY June 6, 2009
PLATTSBURGH — The Adirondack District of the Boy Scouts of America wants to ensure opportunities are available for youths to continue the tradition of Scouting for years to come. As a means of raising funding for the organization and honoring its members, the Adirondack District will host its Good Scout Breakfast this Tuesday, June 9, at American Legion Post 20 on Quarry Road. Event organizer Bernard C. Bassett said during challenging economic times it is more important than ever to ensure quality programs for young people remain available. “These are difficult times to be a young person, and programs like Scouting are more important than ever in helping us shape the next generation of leaders,” said Bassett. “The breakfast is an opportunity for the community to come out and show their support for a great organization and it’s also good
chance for the Scouts to see the community there supporting what they do.” The Adirondack District, which encompasses much of the region, has been experiencing “phenomenal success” reaching young people and “equipping them to be responsible, capable, active citizens,” Bassett said in a recent letter seeking financial support for the Scouting program. “Scouting is very important for young people, giving them positive adult role models and helping them learn activities that support their communities,” said Bassett. “And, when we have a new president in Washington who is emphasizing volunteerism and public service, this is a program that teaches that to young people and also the adults in the program who give up a lot of their own personal time to be able to lead a troop.” “It’s a core piece of a quality community,” Bassett added. The annual breakfast fundraiser gives the public
the opportunity to learn more about Scouting and, at the same time, help provide necessary funding for programs and financial assistance to youths who might otherwise be unable to afford enrolling in such a worthwhile program, said Bassett. “As we all know, there are a lot of families who have youngsters who would like to be involved in Scouting, but paying for a uniform and some of the costs associated can be challenging,” said Bassett. “This is just a great way for the community to help and say ‘keep up the good work.’” This Tuesday’s breakfast will be held from 7:30-8:30 a.m., and include a program featuring a presentation by Eagle Scout Patrick Robare, among others. The cost of the breakfast is $10. For more information or to make a reservation for the breakfast, contact Bassett at 593-7324 or Adirondack District executive director Kristin Shives at 561-0360.
CHARGE walk this Saturday PLATTSBURGH — The inaugural CHARGE walk will be held this Saturday, June 13, at the Terry Gordon Memorial Bike Path on the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base, beginning at 10 a.m. The walk is being held to raise awareness of CHARGE syndrome, a genetic birth defect which affects one in 10,000 children worldwide, and to raise money for the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation. The registration fee for the three-mile walk is a $10 donation. For more information, contact organizer Mackenzie Bola at 834-9496 or via e-mail at kenzie100@yahoo.com.

Since receiving his diagnosis, Bob Wilkins said his wife and children have been his own personal public relations team, fielding questions about his condition. The chemotherapy treatments he has been undergoing have left him weak and tired at times, leading him to sleep a lot. But, the phone still rings. “While I’m sick and I’m sleeping, she has to answer every phone call, every question, every family member ’s and friend’s concern,” Bob Wilkins said of his wife. “She has to front all those calls and it’s like being interviewed every

day. I think that’s been the hardest part because it’s been hard on her and the kids.” “It’s great, though, because we didn’t realize how many people care,” he added. The Wilkinses are hoping the support they’ve seen will continue as their family patriarch continues his first round of chemotherapy, scheduled to end the first week of August. “I’m sure it won’t be the last, but you can always hope,” Bob Wilkins said of his chemotherapy. Those who missed the benefit for Bob Wilkins who would still like to make a contribution may do so by contacting Melody LaFountain at 8347797.

jeremiah@denpubs.com PERU — The North Country has shown its support for one of its own affected by cancer. Crickets Restaurant hosted a spaghetti dinner benefit for AuSable Forks native and now Peru resident Robert “Bob” Wilkins May 31, with dozens of people pouring through the doors to offer words of encouragement and financial support to defray his medical expenses. The amount of people who turned out for the event amazed both Bob Wilkins and his wife, Lisa, who were in attendance with their three children Melinda, Bobby and Christa. “I almost feel guilty people gave up a nice Sunday to come here for this,” said Bob Wilkins, who spent the afternoon mingling with family and friends. “We’ve seen so many people we haven’t seen in years. It just makes me feel bad that we haven’t kept up with them.” However, there’s been much on Bob Wilkins’ plate in recent months, since being diagnosed in April with stage four colon cancer. “The shock of it’s over,” he said. “Now, we’re just trying to speak with as many people as possible who’ve made it through similar experiences and getting their feelings and thoughts. It’s easier on us knowing there are people who’ve beaten this.” Lisa Wilkins agreed as she sat with her husband in a booth during the benefit. The two, who were high school sweethearts, will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in July. “Life without him would be devastating,” she said. Though there is a long road ahead for her husband, Lisa Wilkins said she feels the support and kind words their

The pros and cons of Safari Web browser
T
his week we look at Apple’s Safari which, according to Market Share (marketshare.hitslink.com), owns 8.21 percent of the browser market. The current version of Safari for Windows is 3.2 but the next version, Safari 4, is our focus today. Safari 4 will be released sometime this year but early adopters can have it now in beta form. Apple has always been great at marketing, with efforts to push Safari no different. Apple claims Safari 4 is “innovative” and “the world’s fastest browser” but do the claims hold true? Under the hood Safari 4 sports the open-source Webkit rendering engine which has always been highly Web-standard compliant. One thing that sets Safari apart from competitors is Nitro, its new JavaScript engine. Apple says Nitro “executes JavaScript up to 30 times faster than IE 7…” Recent testing by Maximum PC gives confirmation. Maximum ran Safari through the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark with a time of 612 milliseconds. Compare that to IE7’s 27,760 milliseconds or IE8’s 3,356 milliseconds and we clearly see a winner. Apple reworked the user interface giving it a very distinctive Windows look. It has a simple navigation layout where the Menu bar is gone and the Refresh button is integrated with the Address bar. The Smart Address and Smart Search features operate very much like the awesome bar in
Firefox by interpreting input and offering a list built from bookmarks and browser history. One unique feature is called Top Sites, which displays either the most visited or favorite sites in 3D format. Every time a new tab is opened the user instantly sees all the sites and can click on the desired page. Safari is clearly a top browser with clever features but I recommend Windows users wait for the stable release of version 4. Find it at apple.com/safari.

Importance of medication safety
A
ccording to Caregiver.com, people over the age of 65 represent 14 percent of the U.S. population but consume more than one-third of prescription medications. The average senior uses more than five different medications each day, not including over-the-counter drugs. It is imperative seniors and their caregivers are aware of the proper uses of their medications. Here are some tips: • Be familiar with dosage instructions: should the drug be taken with food or on an empty stomach? Not following instructions can cause complications or make the medication less effective. • Understand storage instructions and follow them. Many medicines should not be stored in the bathroom, because of moisture and heat. • Be aware some medications cause sensitivity to sunlight, resulting in severe sunburn or skin eruptions. Temperature extremes should be avoided when taking some medications. • Avoid some foods when taking medications. For example, grapefruit juice can interact with many medications, rendering them ineffective. Some medications may deplete the body of nutrients, so supplementation may be necessary. • Understand what side effects may occur and watch for them. Be aware of reactions or symptoms that need immediate attention. Some reactions may be more extreme in older persons.
• Learn the proper dosages of over-the-counter medications. Too many people assume they are safer than prescription drugs because they are more easily acquired. Some over–the-counter medications, like antacids, can minimize the effectiveness of antibiotics. • Recognize the risks of using herbal medications with other medications. Herbal medications should be used with other medications with caution. Many herbs can interact with medications and cause severe reactions. • Familiarize yourself with what to do if you miss a dose. Sometimes it’s not as simple as just taking an extra dose. If you have difficulty keeping track of your medications, keep a diary.

Point au Roche continues field day tradition By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com POINT AU ROCHE — After more than 10 years of providing support to the Point au Roche State Park, friends of the park continue to look to the future of family-friendly activities, while still keeping the past in mind. The Friends of Point au Roche State Park, a group whose main mission is to “Protect, Preserve and Promote” the park, has held an annual Spring Field Day at held at the park on Camp Red Cloud Road for the majority of their nearly 12-year existence. During this year ’s field day May 30, numerous activities brought out swarms of people — despite the rainy weather. With the park’s 825 acres
and many trails to hike, people visited the park to study birds, view trees and plants, learn about geological formations, and clean up some of the trails. Duffy Nelson, an eighth grade social studies teacher at Beekmantown Middle School and advisor for the school’s National Junior Honor Society, brought out nearly 20 of the NJHS students to assist in the park clean-up. “I was approached by Gerry O’Connor and he mentioned that [the “Friends”] would need help on cleaning up some of the trails on May 30,” Nelson explained. Nelson added one of the requirements for students to be involved in the Honor Society is for them to get involved in community service projects and she felt “this might be a good project.”
“Some of the students have never been [to the park] before so it is a nice way to expose them to that,” she said. “And, just being outdoors and helping the community and doing something more than just about themselves.” “She was fantastic,” said clean-up organizer Gerry O’Connor of Nelson. “She organized everything and wrote a letter to all of the parents. She was really good.” However, while discussing the many other activities held throughout the field day, including making smoothies, bucket gardening, and looking at pond critters, many of the Friends thought back to the beginning of why they came to be an organization. “The town of Beekmantown really wanted to put [the park] back on the tax rolls,” explained member Helen Booth. “I happened to be

everything in between, said Dermody. “And, the great thing about this project is that it was a class project, but the kids broke out into group and each did something different,” she said. The project turned didn’t feel like an assignment, said the students, but was more about getting to know people in their community whom they might not otherwise get a chance to interact with under normal circumstances. Rebekah Grim was among the students touched by the stories the veterans shared, saying she got a lot out of the event. “We always talk about in our class how the war affected our region, but we didn’t really know how actual lives were affected until we talked to them,” said Grim. “Sometimes, war veterans don’t like to talk about their experiences, but all of them seemed to be really open to talking to us and answering our questions.” Student Max Mailhot, who gave the opening speech at the dinner, said he, too, felt honored to speak with the veterans and learn about the hardships they faced while serving overseas. “It was great being “We always talk about able to talk to them about the war and just in our class how the war getting to know them,” affected our region, but said Mailhot. “I don’t think they’re recognized we didn’t really know enough for what they how actual lives were afdid. And, that’s a fected until we talked to shame.” “It’s amazing to know them.” just what they did for our country,” added stuRebekah Grim dent Ashley Goyette. High School Student The veterans were also treated to a video compiled by student Tegan Spinner of interviews with his fellow students about what they were thankful for because of the veterans’ sacrifices. “The things we mentioned in the video are things that some people take for granted sometimes,” said Spinner. “It was interesting after they saw the video to hear people say they were happy about it and the dinner and that we took the time and effort to do it.” “The whole reason we put on the dinner was to show our appreciation for them,” said Grim. “Yet, as they were leaving, they kept telling us ‘thank you’ repeatedly because they appreciated we took the time out to show them how much we care about them.” One of the veterans was so touched, said Dermody, she received an e-mail the very next day thanking the class for all they did. “That really meant a lot,” she said.
the Top 36 finalist of that nationwide television competition. It’s that type of excitement Ashline hopes will fuel the enthusiasm for the St. Ann’s competition. “Every year we have a karaoke/lip syncing talent show,” explained Ashline, “and with American Idol being a big hit this year, we thought if we changed the wording of our competition, we’d have more contestants come.” Typically, the bazaar ’s singing competition draws participation from 20-30 people, but with the new way of promoting it, Ashline would like to see that number increase dramatically. “There’s so much talent out there. A lot of people don’t even realize,” she said. “We’re hoping they’ll come and have lots of fun.” As an added incentive, cash prizes will be given to those placing first, second and third in the competition which will have two divisions — ages 5-12 and ages 13 and older. “We thought it would be better to have two age groups because it wouldn’t be fair to have kids competing against adults,” said Ashline. The singing competition will only be part of the fun
Eat Dessert First welcomes Scott Burton PLATTSBURGH — Scott Burton, comedian, performance artist and cancer survivor returns as the featured entertainment for “Eat Dessert First: A Celebration of Life,” Sunday, June 14. The FitzPatrick Cancer Center ’s annual celebration of cancer survivorship will begin at 1 p.m. on the front lawn at CVPH Medical Center, 75 Beekman St. Ten years ago, Burton, an osteo sarcoma survivor, made jaws drop as he balanced a six-foot table on his chin. Laughter rolled through the tent on the CVPH front lawn as he recounted his experiences as a patient on a medical oncology nursing unit. Burton is credited for being a talented performance artist and comedian who brings his message of hope and optimism to every program. For more information about this free event, call the FitzPatrick Cancer Center at 562-7100.
at one of the legislative meetings when that came up.” Having heard no prior word of the potential closing of the park, Booth interrupted the legislative meeting and postponed the vote. “I got on the phone and I called the Adirondack Mountain Club and I called all the environmental groups I could think of,” Booth recalled. “And, at the next legislative meeting, there was quite a lot of people there and we convinced them that it shouldn’t be sold.” “We needed a park, the green space,” she added. “So, that was the beginning of what started the whole thing.” The Friends began to help support the park for the things the state couldn’t pay for. “It was to be the ‘fundraiser ’ arm of the state park,”

The organizers of this year’s St. Ann’s Bazaar are hoping to draw in a larger crowd by revamping their karaoke/lip syncing competition and promoting it as “St. Ann’s American Idol,” modeled after the popular television show American Idol.

Backroads Country, a country music band, will perform from 12-2:30 p.m., followed by a performance by the Northern Lights Square Dancers from 2:30-3:30 p.m. The St. Ann’s
American Idol will follow from 3:30-6 p.m. Registration for the contest will begin at 2 p.m. There is no entry fee, though participants are asked to bring their own music on a CD. Throughout the day, there will be games for kids and a petting zoo featuring alpacas. Also, a roast beef dinner will be offered, as well as hamburgers, hot dogs,
sausage, French fries, onions and other carnival food. The bazaar will wrap up at 6 p.m. with a giant raffle of several donated highquality items. For more information about this Sunday’s bazaar or the St. Ann’s American Idol contest, contact Ashline at 236-7327.

However, Trombly had spoken to Pombrio about putting in a water system next year. “Depends on how much need he has for it,” Pombrio said. “He doesn’t want to go to the trouble if it’s only two gardens it’s for.” Overall, Pombrio sees many positive aspects of the Mooers Community Garden, especially with the current economy. “The price of everything is so high and the economic times are so bad. And it’s so much fun. It really is,” she said. “I raked this one day and my arms hurt so much I could barely move ... but the next day I was ready to come back out and do it again.” For more information about the garden, or to join, call Pombrio at 236-4577.
Two plots have already begun at the new Mooers Community Garden. Nearly six acres of land is available for anyone wishing to begin a garden, free of charge.

he has already begun studying diligently. “I’m going to need to work harder,” said Leo. If Leo doesn’t make it back to nationals next year, his father said all wouldn’t be lost. “The majority of the participants this year [at the national bee] were eighthgraders and the winner was an eighth-

Win the grocery store price cycle game
H
ave you ever gone to the grocery store and wondered why prices on the same items change so much each week? A box of pasta may cost 79 cents one week and $2.39 the next. A bottle of juice that costs $2 today may cost $4.29 just a few days from now. Most people accept these price fluctuations as normal. Many don’t even notice them at all. Why do prices at the grocery store change so much in a short period of time? Grocery stores sales run in 12-week cycles. Most everything in the store is at its lowest price point just once every 12 weeks. Throughout the rest of the cycle the price may fluctuate a bit, but it won’t go to its rock-bottom low again until the 12-week cycle is complete. You might be thinking what I thought when I initially learned this valuable piece of information: “What if I had just bought more pasta last week when it was 79 cents?” Better yet: “What would have happened if I bought enough boxes of pasta to last my household 12 weeks?” I’d save $1.60 on each box. If we ate pasta once a week for the next 12 weeks, I would save $19.20 by buying all 12 boxes in one trip when the price was low. Granted, this approach goes against everything we typically do as shoppers. When it’s time to go to the store, most of us look around the house, see what we’re out of, and then go to the store to buy it. But the problem with this is it’s impossible for every item on our list to be at its lowest price point, since different categories of grocery items operate on different pricing cycles. That’s part of the grocery store’s marketing plan. Stores know if shoppers come in for a sale item, it’s likely they will buy many other full-priced items. As shoppers, changing the way we shop is the key to saving money. Obviously, it’s not easy to stock up on perishable produce and dairy items. But many other products are easy to store for long periods. If you start saving money on slowto-outdate items — cereal, canned and frozen foods and personal-care items like toothpaste and shampoo — your entire
grocery bill will start to come down. Here’s the challenge: We are just not in the habit of buying 12 boxes of pasta at a time. But why not? Pasta has a long shelf life. It doesn’t spoil. It’s easy to store. Yet, when we see it on sale we usually don’t think, “That’s a great price. I’m going to buy a dozen.” When I became a Super-Couponer, I started seeing shopping in a new By Jill Cataldo light. I started buying larger quantities of my household staples when they were at their lowest prices. Die-hard couponers refer to buying in quantity as “stockpiling.” When you buy more than you need because the price is low you can “shop from home” the next time you need that item, because you have stockpiled it in your kitchen cupboard. And you’ve avoided paying the higher price for the identical item in the grocery store this week because you purchased enough to last your household almost three months when the price was lowest. And we haven’t even discussed coupons yet! Imagine that during the pasta sale, I had coupons for 75 cents off each box of pasta. I would now be buying my pasta for just four cents a box. We’ll discuss how to use coupons in conjunction with the 12-week sales cycle next week. © CTW Features

PLATTSBURGH — Leo Lee has returned. Though the Plattsburgh City School District sixth-grader didn’t bring home the gold at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C, it was an experience he said he’d never forget. “It was really fun. I made a lot of friends,” said Leo. Leo made it to Round 3 of the May 26-28 competition, just one round shy of reaching the semifinals. When given the word “pericoronitis” — which is defined as a dental condition in which tissue around the wisdom tooth has become infected — Leo spelled it as “parachorinitis.” “I didn’t know it,” admitted Leo. Jason Lee, Leo’s father, was as shocked as his son when he heard the word. “He studied thousands of words but he just didn’t know that one,” said Jason. “The words were just more difficult in that round. The good thing was it was a great education for him and now he’s getting even more serious about next year.” Though it’s only been a matter of days since returning from Washington, Leo does have his sights set on returning. In order to do that, he’ll again have to win the Champlain Valley Educational Services Regional Spelling Bee next February — something for which

April market basket up 5% since March
T
he 41 items in the Market Basket came in at $96.22 for April, up from $95.45 in March, and $92.87 last April. Prices were fairly stable from last month overall with the notable exception of produce and frozen foods, which were both up 5 percent over March prices. Although there have been decreases in the price of many produce items for the year, the overall category is up 22 percent, driven by a 66 percent increase in the cost of potatoes since April of 2008. This month in the produce category there were price decreases on bananas, Iceberg lettuce and yellow onions. In the meat department, prices were stable, although there were sales on bottom round roast and chuck steak. Breads, cereals and grain prices continued to decrease, recovering from the high prices of the winter on bread and flour. Canned goods posted a decrease on diced tomatoes and Star Kist tuna fish. The prices on Del Monte fruit cocktail, Green Giant peas and vegetable soup in beef stock all remained unchanged. Frozen food prices were up on all products, with significant increases on haddock and green beans. Dairy prices have been steadily declining, with decreases in the prices of butter, Parkay margarine, American sliced
cheese and large eggs. Drinks saw decreases in the price of coffee and tea bags.
Seasonal reminder Pineapple, mangos, and Vidalia onions are at their peak. Watermelon season has begun, but other melons come later in the summer. Rhubarb is pushing up in local gardens. The Plattsburgh Farmer's Market is open for the season.
The Market Basket is a monthly report based on a survey of 41 food items commonly purchased by consumers. The SUNY Plattsburgh Office of Institutional Research collects data for the report from four major supermarkets in the Plattsburgh area. The report is then compiled as a community service sponsored by the Technical Assistance Center and the SUNY Plattsburgh Office of Institutional Advancement.

Public library receives $3,000 grant for summer reading program By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh Public Library has attracted area elementary school children to take part in their summer reading program for more than 10 years. This year, however, they received some assistance. Library director Stanley A. Ransom contacted Hannaford Supermarkets in hopes of receiving grant money to cover expenses for the program. “Each year, we have the summer reading program and it costs about $3,000 to put on,” Ransom explained, which includes the costs of purchasing extra books and prize incentives for the children, who range in age from pre-schoolers through sixth grade. According to Tara Morgan, community relations specialist for Hannaford, the company often supports “children-based organizations” such as summer camps, although they usually do so by providing healthy snacks. “But, in this instance, it was very clear that these two organizations were in desperate need of some cash to even be able to move forward with these programs,” Morgan explained, referring also to Fletcher Free Library in Burlington, Vt., who needed money for their summer reading program. “It was something a little bit different for us, but something that was obviously a worthy cause.”
“We haven’t had a grant from Hannaford’s in the past,” Ransom said. “One of the things that they are interested in is the promotion of children’s reading. So, this is why we applied to them for this grant. We were just so delighted to hear that we were going to be receiving this grant.” This year, Plattsburgh Public Library is following the theme provided by the New York State Public Library, “Be Creative at Your Library.” Some of the activities planned throughout the summer, which the grant money will go toward, include arts and crafts, storytelling, musicians, Mr. Beau the Clown, and Steve Charney, a ventriloquist. “So, we have a little bit of everything,” Ransom said. “Once they’re here we make sure they get a library card, take out books and get started with their reading,” he added. Ransom has found promoting reading for children during the summer months is a great advantage for them, often improving their reading skills. “There was a study some years ago in a town in Long Island by teachers who said that children who don’t read in the summer lose about 20 percent of their words. They forget them,” Ransom explained. “If they’re in the summer reading programs, not only do they not lose the 20 percent, but they often gain 10 or 20 percent more words.” “I think learning about books and becoming interested in reading at an early age is re-

Local barbershop chorus celebrates 50th anniversary By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — In the 1950s, a man traveled to Korea and happened upon a group of people singing a cappella. So began the story of The Cumberland Bay Show Chorus. After the historic trip to Korea, James Brown came home and met up with friend Lou Bernard to begin a barbershop quartet in Plattsburgh. “They were so impressed with that they said, ‘Well, wait a minute. Maybe we can get three, four people singing lead. Three, four people singing [baritone] and bass. We’ll have a chorus,’” explained long-time chorus member Robert Brooks. “Well, they started doing that and it just started to grow and grow and grow.” Finally, in 1959, the chorus was chartered by the Barbershop Harmony Society. Since then, men from “all walks of life” have heard The Cumberland Bay Show Chorus and wanted to join. “I attended their Christmas concert at St. Peter ’s this year,” said Ken Lushia, public relations coordinator and new member of the chorus. “They’re always asking for new members. I heard that message and I said ‘I want to be there.’” Since then, Lushia has gone through the training, even taking voice lessons, and has now been a member for five months. “The music sells itself. I think that’s why we’re all in it,” said Lushia. “There’s a certain attraction of that harmony, that ringing, that we can perform together. That alone brings the people in. And, once you fall in love with it, it’s history after that.” However, for Brooks, his choice in joining the chorus was not entirely his own. Forty-six years ago, after being away on a business trip, Brooks came home to his wife, Lois, who said “‘You can’t imagine where I [went] Saturday night,’” recalled Brooks. “She said, ‘I went over to the Peru High School and they had a barbershop parade there. And, guess what? You’re going to be a
Twenty-four members of The Cumberland Bay Show Chorus sang many barbershop hits during their 50th anniversary show held May 30 at the E. Glenn Giltz auditorium in Hawkins Hall at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. The group is led by musical director Dianne Tortorelli-Brooks. Photo by Sarah L. Cronk
barbershopper.’ And, every Tuesday since, I’ve been a barbershopper,” he laughed. During the past 50 years of the chorus, many men have experienced the harmony of the chorus, with membership ebbing and flowing, but no matter who is in the group, musical director Dianne Tortorelli-Brooks said there is always a “closeness” and “support” she has never seen anywhere else. “Everybody is there for each other and supports each other and you don’t always find that in other groups,” Tortorelli-Brooks explained. “And even some choruses ... don’t have the camaraderie and the closeness that this group has. So, it’s really special.”
However, it’s not just the members who support one another, it’s also the community. “When they heard us sing, they wanted us,” Brooks said. “Every one of them.” “They are so supportive of the barbershoppers that it’s hard to believe that we actually have followers that will follow us to different performances,” added TortorelliBrooks. “As long as they see that we’re performing some place, we’ll see them there.” Over the last 50 years of existence, the chorus has also been there for the community. “Of course everything we do, we give it to charity,” said Brooks. “And, we’ve helped a lot of young people in the community.”

The barbershop chorus also visits nursing homes and hospitals to sing to the elderly throughout the year. In fact, they’ll sing just about anywhere to lift the spirits of those around them. “For whatever reason we happened to be in the bank, the same bank, the same time,” explained Lushia, referring to Brooks and himself. “And, the bank is backed up, the line is backed up. And, that’s not a pleasant experience, standing in line at the bank. But it was pleasant by the time [Brooks] got done.” “He [said] to a woman, a young woman, ‘I bet I can get you to sing.’ And, sure enough, the whole lobby was singing by the time we left,” Lushia said. “It happens,” laughed Brooks. “We actually do make a difference,” Tortorelli-Brooks said. “Music is such good therapy.” To celebrate their 50 years of being chartered and their commitment to the community, The Cumberland Bay Show Chorus performed for a nearly packed house at the E. Glenn Giltz auditorium in Hawkins Hall at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh May 30. With the theme “Come Celebrate the Sound,” the chorus sang many barbershop hits, sharing the stage with other nearby choruses. Joining the barbershoppers were “Our Town,” “The Green Mountain Chorus,” “Philharmonix,” “Champlain Valley Sweet Adelines,” and the Plattsburgh High School Select Vocal Ensemble. “It’s going to be like a reunion, old home week with everybody coming,” TortorelliBrooks said before the show. The finale also had past barbershoppers from The Cumberland Bay Barbershoppers as well as throughout the chorus’ district. “It’s a celebration,” she added. If interested in joining The Cumberland Bay Show Chorus, they meet at the North Country Alliance Church, 7 Northern Ave., every Tuesday from 7-9:30 p.m. You may also call president Mike Deeb at 561-0545.

Scleroderma Walk to be held in memory of Randy Duprey By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN — It will be five months this Saturday since Kate Duprey of Plattsburgh lost the love of her life to complications from scleroderma. And, despite the pain of her loss, she has found the strength to help others suffering from the life-threatening disease. It was before her husband, Randy, passed away in January the two discussed holding an event to raise awareness of scleroderma and raise money for the Scleroderma Foundation. Having lived with the disease since being diagnosed in September 2005, Duprey’s husband was adamant both a cause and cure needed to be found. “Later on in his illness, he just kept saying he didn’t want anyone else to suffer and go through this disease,” said Duprey. After her husband’s death, Duprey pressed on with planning an event, motivated by the desire to heed her husband’s wish. “I don’t know where I’m finding the mentality and the energy to be able to do this. He’s obviously helping me along,” Duprey said of her husband. “It’s something he definitely wanted to do and after the community has done so much for us, we want to do our best to give back.” The “First Annual Scleroderma Walk in Memory of Randy Duprey” was born from Duprey’s determination, and involved reaching out to the community once again for support. The community showed they haven’t forgotten Randy, she said, and have gone above and beyond making donations toward the walk and companion events — such as auctions, raffles and a bake sale — to be held the day of the walk Sunday, June 14.
“The support we’ve gotten is just amazing,” she said. The Scleroderma Foundation itself has even gotten behind the event, said Duprey, providing T-shirts to give participants of what will be a three-mile walk/run event. The organization even went as far as handling some of the costs associated with hosting the event, she added. “They just jumped right on board,” said Duprey. Though the proceeds raised from the walk will benefit the foundation, money raised from the other fundraisers that day will stay locally to help others living with scleroderma. The walk will begin next Sunday with registration at Beekmantown Town Hall on Spellman Road at 9 a.m. The walk/run will start from the town hall and continue to the track at Beekmantown Central School, where the remainder of the walk/run will be held. The cost to register is $20, with other pledges gladly accepted, said Duprey. Those who cannot afford the registration fee will still be allowed to participate, she added. Regardless, all who participate will receive a free T-shirt and bag. Those raising $250 or more will received two stainless steel travel mugs. Entertainment will be provided at the town hall starting at approximately 11 a.m., provided by bands AppleJack Country and Shameless Strangers. For more information on the upcoming event, contact John Munson at 561-1690 or visit the walk Web site at www.walkforrandy.blogspot.com, and for the story of Randy Duprey’s struggle with scleroderma, visit Kate Duprey’s Web site at www.thedupreyfamily.blogspot.com.
Kate Duprey stands with her husband, Randy, in this 2008 photograph after returning home from Duke University in North Carolina where Randy received a stem cell transplant and physical therapy while battling scleroderma.

Health department to host ‘Kids Happy Health Day’ Outreach program to be open to all this Tuesday By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com ALTONA — The Clinton County Health Department is taking its services on the road in an effort to create healthier children. The health department will host “Kids Happy Health Day” this Tuesday, June 9, at the Altona Town Hall, 3124 Miner Farm Road. The free event will be open to children up to 6 years old and their parents or guardians, offering lead screenings, height and weight measurements and information on dental health and nutrition. Nancy Smith, the health department’s health services coordinator, said this is the first time this kind of outreach program has been offered in the county in several years. As more and more people are tightening their financial belts these days, Smith said there’s concern some living in more rural communities might be deterred from seek-
ing health services in Plattsburgh if it means spending more money on gas to get back and forth to appointments. “We’ve always centered our services in Plattsburgh because it has the largest population and a lot of people come here anyway,” said Smith. “We wanted to try this to see if folks in smaller communities would find this convenient.” The outreach program is meant to be a companion event to the health department’s annual health fair held each April in Plattsburgh, said Smith. “We decided to take some of our best parts of that and take it out to the rural communities,” she said. “It’s sort of a safety net to make sure anybody who’s new to the area or might not know how to get connected for some of these services will have a chance to find out about them.” This Tuesday’s event, which will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., will also include information for parents about vaccinations, offer child identification cards, and host a story time Smith said will serve a purpose other than entertaining. “[The story time] will help with language
Continuing coverage
Local fire departments strained as suspicious fires continue, chief says By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com MORRISONVILLE — Suspicious brush fires are continuing to occur in and around the hamlet of Morrisonville, trying the resources and patience of local firefighters. According to Morrisonville Volunteer Fire Department Fire Chief Francis E. Brousseau, there have been at least five more suspicious fires reported within the past few weeks, bringing the total to more than two dozen since April 13. “Last Monday, was by far our largest,” Brousseau said, referring to a May 25 fire. “We had about 10 different fires burning within an area of approximately 2 miles behind the [Clinton County
Fairgrounds].” Brousseau said several other departments were called in to assist with the fire. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze quickly, though were out late again, he added. Fires have been keeping crews busy for nearly two months in and around the hamlet, as well as in the town of Plattsburgh. Since being reported in this newspaper, Brousseau said he has received several calls from citizens reporting information that could be related to the fires. “This only means people read what was put out and are paying attention,” he said. Brousseau again asks the public to report any suspicious activity immediately to authorities by calling 9-1-1.
development and really engage children in active participating in reading,” said Smith. The movements and actions that will be played out when stories are read will also help the young children in their development of motor skills, she added. The idea is to do all of this in an atmosphere that’s “inviting and engaging for children.” “We won’t be dressed in clown suits or anything,” Smith said with a laugh, “but, we’re going to try to make it more entertaining than going to your normal doctor ’s office. It’ll be a little less formal.” “The best part is there’s no charge for any of these activities, so, hopefully, parents will use it as a chance to learn more about what they can do to benefit their families,” she added. Though the outreach program will be held in Altona, Smith emphasized the event will be open to everyone. “We’re hoping that folks will come, and not just from Altona. They can be from Ellenburg, Churubusco, Mooers Forks, Plattsburgh — anywhere in the county,” said Smith. “We just felt [Altona] was kind of central in the Northern Tier and they were will-
ing to have us.” An outreach program will also be held in September, Smith added. That clinic will be held in the town of Peru at the former St. Augustine’s School on State Route 22, with the concept of finding a centrally-located place in the southern half of the county. The outcome of this Tuesday’s outreach clinic will determine how the health department tailors its Peru session this September, said Smith. Those who are unable to attend this Tuesday’s outreach program may still visit the health department, located at 133 Margaret St., Suite 117, Plattsburgh, where lead screenings are offered once a month. The rest of the services that will be offered in Altona Tuesday are offered there Monday through Friday, said Smith. “So, if someone can’t come because their child is ill, the car has broken down or something else comes up, we’d be happy to make arrangements with them,” said Smith. For more information about Kids Happy Health Day, contact Smith at 565-4848 or visit the health department’s Web site, www.clintonhealth.org.

We’re building great markets for Northeast family dairy farms!
A
gri-Mark is owned and controlled by dairy farm families from New England and New York. Our farmers work together in the marketplace so they can receive the highest possible price for all of the milk their farm produces and the best legislative representation possible on dairy issues. At Agri-Mark, we have two great brands that create great local markets and generate income for our farmers. Our award-winning Cabot brand of Vermont cheddar cheese, butter, and other dairy products continues to grow each year, adding to our farmers’ milk checks. Our Cabot cheese again won the title of “World’s Best Cheddar” in 2006.
Agri-Mark farmers also own the McCadam brand of New York dairy products, and that investment is generating income for them as well. In 2007, McCadam won first place at the U.S. Cheese Championships in Wisconsin and the title “America’s Best Cheese!” Agrimark had a record year of profits in 2007 and the future looks bright! For more information on working with other Northeast farm families for better prices, call our Membership Department toll-free at 1800-225-0532 or contact us at www.agrimark.net

We all know that dairy products are essential to good health. In the last year alone, studies have proven dairy products to play a key role not only in preventing diseases like osteoporosis and cancer, but also in controlling blood pressure and weight. Dairy farmers in America currently raise approximately 9,188,000 cows. Major breeds include Ayshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey and Milking Shorthorn. Milking their cows at least twice a day, dairy farmers produce over 143 billion pounds of milk per year. This June, increase your dairy intake and take the time to say thanks to the dairy farmers across America who work hard to provide us with the products essential to good health.

16 - CLINTON TODAY / NORTH COUNTRYMAN
SATURDAY June 6, 2009
From one generation to the next W
Twelve-year-old R.J. King of Westport shot this 28 pound Tom early May 3 after his dad, Rob, called the big bird in.
Rob King also helped Cooper Sayward, age 14, bag his first Tom May 9. The bird weighed 20 pounds.
estport youth R.J. King was chasing longbeards with his father, Rob, even before he could walk. When Rob separated from his wife in the mid-1990s, he became R.J.’s full-time caregiver. That meant if he wanted to hunt, R.J. would be along in tow. And, Rob wasn’t about to give up the woods. “I would carry him in a backpack carrier,” Rob recalled. “He learned a lot about the woods at a very young age.” So, it was only fitting R.J. carried on the family tradition by bagging his first Tom during opening weekend of the spring turkey season — with his dad at the call. “It felt awesome,” 12-year-old R.J. said. “The bird looked huge on the ground.” And, indeed it wasn’t small. The turkey weighed 28 pounds, had a 10-and-one-half-inch beard and one-inch spurs. A trophy by any turkey hunter ’s standard. R.J. took the bird early in the morning May 3. It was a warmer than average day for early spring, R.J. recalled, as he and Rob set up and began using a crow call to entice an answer. After awhile, the duo decided to move. The next location would prove key as Rob expertly lured the big Tom to within a few yards of his decoys with a hen call and R.J. dropped him at 10 yards. “When he answered, he was a lot closer than we expected,” R.J. said. “He was probably only 30 or 40 yards out, and dad had him to me in less than 5 minutes.” The entire hunt was over by 6:45 a.m. The following weekend, Rob repeated the process, calling in another Tom and 14-year-old Cooper Sayward had his first longbeard as well. Cooper ’s bird weighed 20 pounds,
had three-quarter-inch spurs and a 10-inch beard. For Rob, the satisfaction lies in passing on his love of the hunt. “R.J. was so happy when he got the bird that he just kept hugging me. I love when a kid gets a chance to do this stuff.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.
E-town fishing derby results The Elizabethtown Memorial Day fishing derby was again a big hit as dozens of youngsters turned out to land the big one. The overall winner with the largest catch — a 17.5-inch rainbow trout — was 9-year-old Jake Rider. Other winners included: • Ages 0-5: Trinity Ashe, age 5, largest fish; Gabriel Gentels, age 5, most points; Sawyer Moulton, age 4, most fish and Hunter Soper, age 3, smallest fish. • Ages 6-10: Jake Rider, age 9, largest fish; Edward Newphew, age 7, most points; Rebecca Davis, age 6, most fish and Kayla Helsel, age 10, smallest fish. • Ages 11-15: Cora Adams, age 11, largest fish; Kearstin Ashline, age 14, most points; Ashley Martin, age 14, most fish and William Tomkins, age 11, smallest fish. Organizer Joe Martin said the town of Elizabethtown would like to thank all the people and organizations who made the event possible, including the Essex County Fish Hatchery, Stewart’s, Grand Union, the Elizabethtown Fish and Game Club, the Elizabethtown Fire Department, Hathaway Brothers and Adirondack Outfitters.
