Local youth diagnosed with Wegener’s Benefit next Saturday to help family with medical expenses, increase awareness of disease

Josh developed a sinus infection.

The Lafountains went back to their doctor once again, receiving a different antibiotic Deborah Dragoon prescription for Family Friend the infections, though Josh’s health continued to worsen, said his mother. He began to have chronic bloody noses and was in constant discomfort, she added.

“We spent February to March visiting ear, nose and throat specialists,” said LaFountain, who noted the specialists also could find nothing else wrong with Josh. “They just kept telling him to take Sudafed and Advil and keep up with the antibiotics.”

The family did just that and even tried to go about their daily life as usual, said LaFountain, including taking a planned family vacation to Florida. However, while on the trip, Josh’s sinus issues were worsening and he developed a low-grade fever.

“They’re in a situation where they need a little more than what insurance is going to cover and that’s what we’re here for.”

CHAZY — When 15year-old Josh LaFountain was diagnosed with Wegener ’s disease, it was a diagnosis that took his family by surprise.

Josh’s mother, Kelly LaFountain, recalled it was in January when she was giving her son a haircut that something didn’t seem quite right.

“I noticed he had a bump behind his right ear,” she said.

The next day, LaFountain took her son to the family doctor who then called for Josh to have a computed tomography, or CT scan. Originally, Josh was found to have a swollen lymph node, she said, though it soon turned out to be more.

“About a week later, he started getting an ear infection on the same side,” LaFountain said.

The LaFountains returned to their doctor and Josh was prescribed antibiotics to treat the infection. However, before he used all of his prescription,

CHAZY — Throughout the summer, the sound of construction crews hard at work has replaced the sound of students shuffling to and from classes in the halls of Chazy Central Rural School.

The school has been under renovation since the end of the 2008-09 school year in June with work planned to continue through the beginning of the new school year next month. The improvements to the circa 1968 school are part of a $7.4 million renovation project approved by school district voters in November 2007.

According to school district superintendent Kevin R. Mulligan, the renovat-

Benefit Sunday for Morrisonville woman diagnosed with advanced breast cancer

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Debbie Thornton has been friends with René Arnold for nearly 20 years and would do anything for her.

When the Morrisonville woman was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer earlier this year, Thornton was by her friend’s side, offering to help in any way she could.

“René would do the same for anyone else. She’s just a kind-hearted, giving person,” Thornton said.

As a single mother of two teenage sons, Arnold has been doing her best to keep her spirits up, particularly for her boys, Thornton said.

“She’s been handling this as best she can. I don’t know if I could be as strong as she is,” said Thornton.

“She’s giving it her all.”

“René’s a special person and it’s terrible for her to have to go through this at 46 years old — it’s not good

Michigans will also be served, with those purchasing a dinner to receive a ticket to vote in a michigan sauce contest. The winner of the contest will have a donation made in their name to benefit Arnold.

The event will also include a 50-50 drawing, raffles and auctions, all which will also benefit Arnold. Entertainment will be provided by the band Heartland Express and DJ service Lisa and Company.

Those unable to attend the benefit and who would still like to make a contribution toward Arnold’s medical expenses, may do so by sending donations to her at 9 Grace St., Morrisonville, N.Y. 12962.

Clarification ROUSES POINT — According to village clerk Carol A. Hanfield, an article in the July 25 edition of the North Countryman contained an error regarding a new village ordinance for dog control.

The article inadvertently stated it would be illegal for all dogs to defecate or urinate on public property or property other than that of the owner. Hanfield noted the law actually states such action is only illegal if the dog does “create a nuisance by defecating, urinating or digging on public property or private property of said owner.”

“Our attorney explained that that means if an individual has a dog or dogs and never cleans up their yard and it creates a nuisance by the smell or for whatever reason then the neighbor could file charges against the owner of the dog,” Hanfield explained.

Questions about the ordinance may be directed to the village office at 297-5502.

The world premiere of Oy Vey! My Son is Gay! — a film starring Plattsburgh native John Lloyd Young — will be held during the film festival at The Centre Cinema Imperial next Saturday, Aug. 29.

he most important part of any computer is the data, period. The data could be a work document, Excel spreadsheet, a group of pictures or even an application that’s hard to get your hands on. If deemed important enough, users should take the time to back it up. Backing up data can be accomplished automatically or manually, today we look at two automatic options.

The first option uses a flash drive. These small, easy-touse devices have been around long enough to render floppy drives obsolete. Microsoft users have access to a nice application called the Microsoft USB Flash Drive Manager. This application will help you automatically backup and restore data to and from a flash drive. The functionality built into it allows users to make an already easy-to-use device even easier. Go to microsoft.com and search for it by name. The installation file is called “UFDSetupWizard.msi” and it is a small program at 670KB. The second option is for people who work on more than one PC and would like automatic synchronization of files/folders between the computers. Syncing a file on one PC to another is what provides the redundancy of data. The option relies on a Web service called Microsoft Live Sync and it works on both Apple and Windows computers.

The service requires a Windows Live account, which is free

ost people are aware UV radiation can burn our skin, but may not realize exposure to UV radiation can harm the eyes or other components of solar radiation can also affect vision.

According to the American Optometric Association, there are three types of UV radiation: UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not present any threat; UV-A and UVB radiation can have adverse long- and short-term effects on the eyes and vision.

Research has shown exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of developing a cataract and may cause damage to the retina, a nerve-rich lining of the eye used for seeing. Additionally, chronic exposure to shorter wavelength visible light (i.e. blue and violet light) may also be harmful to the retina.

The longer the eyes are exposed to solar radiation, the greater the risk of developing such conditions as cataracts or macular degeneration later in life. It is not known how much exposure to solar radiation will cause damage. The AOA recommends wearing quality sunglasses that offer UV protection and wearing a hat or cap with a wide brim whenever you spend time outdoors.

ast week, I mentioned pairing dollar coupons with dollar sales at the grocery store are one of my favorite ways to get items for free. Another easy way? Double-coupon days.

Coupon “doubling” occurs when a store matches a coupon’s face value and passes the added bonus savings on to you, the shopper. Here’s how it works. When you go to the checkout and hand the cashier a 50-cent coupon during double-coupon days, the cashier scans it and the cash register automatically doubles the value of that coupon to $1. You receive a dollar savings on one item with one 50-cent coupon.

Grocery stores handle double-coupon promotions differently. Some stores double coupons up to a certain amount every day. Others offer double-coupon promotions on certain days of the week or certain weeks of the month. Still others offer double coupons on some days and triple coupons on others. During a triple-coupon promotion, a 50-cent coupon is worth $1.50.

These sales are definitely worth checking out because stores that double coupons make it very easy for shoppers to get groceries for free or at big discounts. However, in my experience, many stores have specific rules for the ways they double coupons. You’ll want to refer to your store’s coupon policy to determine exactly how your store handles these promotions.

Visit the store’s Web site for the information or ask for a copy of the guidelines next time you’re shopping.

For example, one national grocery store chain will double all coupons worth up to 55 cents every day of the week. Another national chain doubles coupons up to $2 each, but they only run this promotion for one week each month. Some stores will double Internet coupons, others won’t. It’s important to find out exactly how your store handles doubles so you aren’t disappointed at the checkout.

Let’s go back to our example from last week, the “dollar sale” at the grocery store. Our store has many items on sale for $1, including cans of soup, toothbrushes and bags of frozen vegetables. Our store also doubles coupons up to $1 in value. How can we get things for free? Well, any coupon with a value of 50 cents will automatically be doubled to $1. I have a 50-cent coupon for the soup, a 55-cent coupon for the tooth-

brush and a 75-cent coupon for the vegetables. With those three coupons doubling in value, I’ll be taking home a can of soup, a toothbrush, and a bag of frozen veggies all free.

It’s important to note, too, coupons typically do not double over the value of the item.

This is different from the way some stores handle “overage,” which is when your coupon’s value exceeds the

By Jill Cataldo cost of the item you’re buying. At many stores, using a $1 coupon on an item that is on sale for 75 cents will not only give you that item for free, it will also take an extra quarter off your total purchase. This is the overage value that was left over after your $1 coupon paid for your 75-cent item. However, when a store offers double coupons, they’re matching the coupon’s value out of their own pocket. So, using a $2 coupon on a $3.79 bottle of spray cleaner will get you the cleaner for free, as the coupon doubles up to $4, but it will not give you that extra 21 cents in overage. However, you’ll be taking items home for free, and who doesn’t love that?

Now, don’t fret if you no stores double coupons in your area. Coupon doubling tends to be a regional phenomenon.

Here in the Chicago area, none of our grocery stores double coupons, ever! The closest stores that do are 45 minutes from where I live. (And yes, I take “coupon field trips” to them on occasion.) But I do the bulk of my weekly shopping in a store that does not double coupons, and I still manage to cut my bill by half or better with coupons each week.

PLATTSBURGH — As September draws closer, so does the annual commemoration of the Battle of Plattsburgh.

During a press conference held at City Hall Aug. 18, Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration Committee co-chairpersons Gary VanCour and Christopher “Kit” Booth announced plans for the upcoming event, to be held Monday, Sept. 7, through Sunday, Sept. 13.

The committee has put together a host of historical reenactments, musical performances and other family-oriented activities for what will be its 12th annual event, said VanCour.

Most people already identify the week-long event as a historical commemoration, VanCour said. However, the week has also come to be know for its entertainment and for being a cultural event.

“We specifically call it a commemoration and not a celebration or festival because we like to bring attention to the sacrifices that were made on all sides,” said Vancour. “We have, yes, a historic event, but we also have a musical event and we want people to take advantage of that.”

“I’d say that there’s something there for everybody,” he added.

The annual cost of the event is approximately $90,000, said Booth, and is largely possible due to the generosity of 30-40 major sponsors, some of which include Key Bank, NBT Bank, Eagle’s Nest Veterinary Hospital,

Northern Insuring and the Plattsburgh Noon Rotary Club. Sales of buttons which give people access to all Battle of Plattsburgh events have also helped continue the event, Booth noted “Those are all significant amounts of money but every penny we get helps as well,” said Booth. “It boggles my mind that how generous this community is over and over and over again.”

This year, the Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration Committee also received $5,550 through a Lake Champlain Basin Program Quadricentennial grant, which Booth and Vancour both acknowledged as helping significantly.

“That’s probably a one-time thing, but we’re very appreciative of that,” said Booth.

The Battle of Plattsburgh will tie in with this year ’s Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial, which, in part, celebrates French explorer Samuel de Champlain’s exploration of the region.

The most prominent tie, said VanCour, will be the theme of the commemoration’s annual parade, which will be called “The French Connection.” Grand marshals of this year ’s parade will be Celine R. Paquette, Champlain, cochair of the Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial Commission, and Claude Vachon, a Quebec representative of the Parliament of Canada.

More details about the Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration are available on-line at www.battleofplattsburgh.org, including a full schedule of events.

LaFountain From page 1 On top of all that, he was becoming more lethargic and started limping on one of his legs.

LaFountain said she and Josh’s father, Mickey, soon noticed the leg on which Josh was limping was actually swollen, prompting them to take their son to the emergency room at Orlando Regional Medical Center. Routine blood work performed there showed Josh’s kidney function was deteriorating and he had developed a blood clot in his left leg. It was then he was transferred to Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital, also in Orlando.

The LaFountains canceled their return flight to stay with Josh while he was in the hospital and later learned he would require more extensive medical treatment. LaFountain said their family was told the safest way to transport their son to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt., was by air ambulance.

“The only way the company would transport Josh is if we paid up front,” said LaFountain. “Luckily, we had a credit card with a limit high enough we could charge it.”

Upon Josh’s arrival, doctors at Fletcher Allen performed a kidney biopsy and more blood tests, ultimately confirm he indeed has Wegener ’s disease, a very rare, incurable autoimmune disease in which blood vessels are inflamed.

“The treatment for this disease consists of a combination of a high dose of steroids and chemotherapy drugs,” said Josh’s mother. “It’s not curable; it’s treatable. He’ll always live with this disease.”

The heavy regimen of medication Josh is on is geared toward putting his disease in remission, though, if that happens, there is always the chance it could come back, she said. Eventually, Josh will need a kidney transplant.

Currently, the LaFountains are seeking the consultation of a doctor from Boston Medical Center who specializes in Wegener ’s disease. The doctor, said Josh’s mother, is reviewing her son’s records to determine whether or not Josh is in remission at this point and to develop a plan of action for further treatment.

The belief is that Josh is indeed in remission, she said, however even if he is, he’ll still need to remain on some forms of medication. Once he’s deemed in remission, he’ll still have to wait six to 12 months before he can even receive a kidney transplant.

“Right now, it’s just watch and wait,” she said.

But, friends of the LaFountains aren’t waiting.

Deborah Dragoon, a family friend who works with Josh’s mother at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals research facility in Chazy, is joining with her fellow coworkers to host a benefit next Saturday, Aug. 29, in Josh’s honor. The benefit —

to be held at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1418 on St. John Road in Champlain — will be to help with medical expenses accrued by the LaFountains, including covering the cost of the medivac service from Orlando to Burlington. The LaFountains are currently in negotiations with their insurance company regarding covering the cost of the service, which amounts to more than $15,000.

“They’re in a situation where they need a little more than what insurance is going to cover and that’s what we’re here for,” said Dragoon.

“We’re very appreciative of everything she’s doing and our co-workers family and friends for helping us,” said LaFountain. “Deb started this ball rolling and we really appreciate it.”

The benefit will be held next Saturday from 12-8 p.m. and consist of michigan, hamburger and hot dog dinners and several family-oriented activities. Entertainment will be provided by the Blind Pigs Blues Band from 12-2 p.m. and an auction of donated items will be held from 2-4 p.m.

During the event, a representative from Fletcher Allen will be on-hand to discuss the kidney donation process.

Those interested in being tested to become a kidney donor, but unable to attend the benefit, may also contact the transplant coordinator at Fletcher Allen at 1-802-847-4291. Donations toward the benefit may be arranged by contacting Dragoon at 493-3120.

Renovations

Successful tournament benefits work of JCEO

From page 1 tions are part of the second phase of a two-phase project, the first of which involved installing new boilers last summer. The second phase consists mainly of installing new heating units, lighting, flooring and ceilings in the building’s classrooms and hallways, all of which Mulligan expects to be complete by the beginning of the new school year Tuesday, Sept. 8.

“This building is now over 40 years old, so you have heating units, for example, that were in place that are no longer made. Getting parts for them is very difficult,” said Mulligan. “It’s going to be a much more efficient system in place. The lighting will be better, more conducive to academic learning versus the old lighting system.”

The lighting being installed will be more energy-efficient, said Mulligan. The units will be equipped with sensors to detect sunlight, dimming accordingly when possible and relying less on electric power.

“There’s certainly going to be some cost savings in the electric bill,” said Mulligan.

The school’s exterior and grounds have seen the beginning installation of a new roof, masonry work and the installation of new sidewalks — the last of which was a much-needed improvement, said Mulligan.

“We’ve had a number of our walkways

that, over the course of time with heaving in the winter time and spring time, they’ve cracked and posed potential safety issues,” he said.

The rest of the second phase, which Mulligan refers to as “Phase 2B,” will be completed next summer when renovations to the elementary level classrooms and the remainder of the roofwork are completed.

“They’re actually ahead of the game on the roof,” said Mulligan, who noted the majority of the work has been completed.

Throughout the course of the project, the school district has been working with architectural and engineering firm Bernier and Carr Associates, Watertown, and general contractor Neagley & Chase Construction Company, South Burlington, Vt. The district has also utilized the services of William J. Murray Inc., K & L Plumbing and Heating, Titan Roofing, and Monahan Brothers Inc., with the contractors all working “very well together” to minimize the amount of work that will be done as students return in the fall.

“I’ve been assured the school will be ready when the students return,” said Mulligan, adding he acknowledges there is “much to be done” in the next few weeks.

“The ambience of the school will be much nicer — new and improved as they say,” he added.

Pine Harbour raising money for van to transport residents Community’s help sought in raising $80,000

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — Pine Harbour Assisted Living is raising money and is looking to the community for its support.

Terrianne D. Pavone, Pine Harbour ’s community relations director, said the facility is looking to raise approximately $80,000 to purchase a handicap-accessible passenger van or bus to transport their residents.

Currently, Pine Harbour utilizes the Clinton County Public Transportation system when residents need to be transported.

Though Pavone gave much credit to the CCPT system, the facility would like to be able to offer their more than 50 residents an inhouse transportation option.

“We’d like to have our own van so we can take our residents to outings like going out for ice cream or going to the mall,” said Pavone. “Our residents are very active and with the van, we’d be able to take them everywhere. It would just open up a world of possibilities for them.”

Those possibilities, Pavone added, could include transporting residents to and from other leisurely trips to places like museums and important trips such as doctor appointments.

The actual model of van or bus Pine Harbour will pursue purchasing has not yet been decided, though Pavone said the facility would need a vehicle equipped with a wheelchair lift and likely able to accommodate 10 or so passengers.

Due to the cost, Pine Harbour is also examining purchasing the vehicle with oth-

er assisted living organizations and sharing its use.

“We’d like to be able to have the van within a year,” said Pavone.

Pine Harbour kicked off their fundraising efforts during their second annual luau Aug. 9, which was well attended, said Pavone. Several more events will be held within the next year, including a casino night, trivia night and community garage sale. The first event to be specifically held to raise money for the van will be a spaghetti dinner and silent auction. Though the date has not officially been set, Pavone said she expects it will be held this fall and has already begun planning for the dinner and gathering donations from local businesses for the auction.

“There are so many things we’re going to be doing within the next year,” said Pavone. “We decided rather than waiting to win the lottery, we’d go out and work to get this.”

“We’re so very fortunate to have our residents here with us, so we want to do even more to give back to them,” Pavone continued.

“We want to be able to offer them that and be able to make choices that enrich their lives. It’s very important to us.”

Those interested in contributing toward Pine Harbour ’s fundraising efforts may send donations in care of the Pine Harbour Van Fund to 15 New Hampshire St., Plattsburgh, N.Y. 12903.

For more information, contact Pavone at 561-5307 or via e-mail at terrianne@pineharbour.org.

“If anyone has any ideas about a fundraiser, we’d be open to hearing about them, too,” she added.

Mosaic mural unveiled after year-long effort sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — It’s been a year in the making.

On Aug. 12, an estimated 200 people stood outside the Clinton County Government Center waiting to see what a black drape on the building’s brick wall would reveal.

It took 1,000 students, the Clinton County Legislators, the Clinton County historian Anastasia Pratt, and the work of three dedicated women to produce a historic mosaic mural that is expected to last for hundreds of years.

Retired teacher Sandra Morse and artists Sue Young and Bucky Seiden spent the last year working with seventh-graders in the nine schools in the county to create the 36-foot long mural which merged history and art in the classroom.

“This project was done as part of the Quadricentennial celebration and it will stand as a visible rendering of the history of Clinton County,” said Legislator James R. Langley Jr., R-Area 7, during his speech before the unveiling of the mural, “from the pre-colonial

times through the late 19th century.”

“I was fortunate to have this opportunity to visit Peru Central School to see for myself, not only the amount of time and energy dedicated to the mosaic, but also the amount of pride and enthusiasm these students have for the project,” Langley added. “It is truly remarkable.”

Legislator Harry McManus, D-Area 1, also spoke before the unveiling of the project titled, “Clinton County History Through the Eyes of its Children,” stating the county is a part of Samuel de Champlain’s legacy.

“In the 16th century, Samuel de Champlain’s dream for a new world and a new humanity was where people from different cultures could live together in peace and harmony,” said McManus. “It was rooted in the Renaissance and inspired the Enlightenment period in our history. Clinton County is part of that legacy.”

“Our Quadricentennial purpose was to celebrate its history and heritage, but we also wanted the project to be lasting and visible,” McManus added. “This mosaic had all

the parameters, an addition that will welcome generations of Clinton County residents to their government center.”

Following his speech, McManus called on eight students who were part of the project to come forth and help bring down the drape that covered the mural.

Soon after it was revealed, the crowd merged forward to get a closer look at the mosaic, with many students searching to find their own tiles.

“Everyone we talked to ... was just amazed at how it came out,” said Morse. “Because most people had not see any of it before it was unveiled, which was good.”

“The students that were there, I think, were thrilled to see how their tiles were put in the whole design,” added Morse.

Since the unveiling, Morse has been to the mural twice.

“Every time I have gone up there, there have been at least two people, and often people with cameras, who are taking pictures and looking at it,” she said. “I do think it’s going to bring a lot of joy to the people who go to the government center.”

NORTH COUNTRYMAN - 11

A park in trouble I

n my last column, I summarized data from the recently released, Adirondack Park Regional Assessment Report. The document researched issues concerning local communities, residents and the economic state of the region.

The report detailed a number of disturbing trends that should be of great concern to all Adirondack residents or any others who care about the park.

The Adirondack Park has often been touted as a model for conservation and preservation where “man and nature coexist, side by side, in a sustainable fashion.”

If population trends continue at the current rate, however, the model will soon be obsolete. It may remain a park, but there will be far fewer people and little or no sustainable economy.

While there is no denying the fact that the Adirondacks remain a unique and beautiful place, the statistics reveal a rather seedy side that is hidden in the underbelly of the park.

According to the report, the Adirondack population is aging at a pace roughly three times the national average. Smaller communities that form the core of the park are atrophying. Second home owners and seasonal residents now constitute a majority in these communities.

Some Hamilton County communities have been described as “dark towns,” because there isn’t a single light shining from a window in the winter. Villages have been shuttered for the winter when the majority of residents are second home owners.

“Inside the park” residents are on average five years older than residents of the state and communities inside the Blue Line have experienced an increase in median age of nearly nine years while the median age of out of the park residents has risen by only three years in the same timeframe.

Of greatest concern is a notable decline in residents under the age of 10 and a growing exodus of residents between the ages of 20 and 35 (the child bearing years).

Students in grades K-12 represent only 13.5 percent of the park’s population, as compared to 18 percent nationally.

School enrollments in the park have decreased by 329 students annually throughout the current decade, which is equivalent to the loss of one average size Adirondack school district every 19 months.

Schools are the epicenter of a community.

When a community can no longer afford a school system, it is the societal equivalent of heart failure.

A community without children will not survive. Schools define a place. They are the thread that holds the social fabric of a community together. Schools are the society’s center, a place for alumni to return and families to meet. Its the place were sports, theatre, concerts and other events happen.

Dr. Russell Rider, a community physician based in Long Lake explained, “Our population is going to further contract. The peo-

ple having children now are the school teachers, they’re usually younger than most.

But, what happens when there aren’t enough children to support a school?”

When consolidation forces rival schools to form as a unit, it further dilutes a community’s spirit and independence. It is difficult to accept former opponents as teammates, especially when you’ve grown up listening to stories about the rivalries.

Adirondackers, as a rule are a very independent lot, they are proud of their hometowns and want them to remain the same. Unfortunately, for many reasons, the reality of the situation points in the opposite direction.

There is no denying the fact that the Adirondacks have become a state sponsored (one out of every three jobs in the park is with the government) and a state created playground. Many of the region’s most exclusive resorts cater primarily, as they often tout, to the “wealthiest one percent of the world.”

While the region may be within a days drive of over 120 million visitors, it is also accessible in less than one hour ’s journey via private jet.

The region may not have many contractors employed in the construction of affordable housing for local residents, but there is still a huge demand for workers to construct private hangars at local airports or build lavish lakefront camps.

Historians labeled the period from the late 1880’s through the early 1900’s as the “Hey Days of the Adirondacks.” It was a time when towns grew, commerce prospered and grand hotels created a bubble of economic activity.

While numerous Adirondack style “Great Camps” sprouted up across the park during the Hey Days, there have been more, modern day “Great Camps” built in the TriLakes region over the last decade, than there were historically existing in total across the entire park.

The current lull in the building industry, due primarily to the economic condition of our country, has forced many local contractors to seek work elsewhere.

Many local roofers, masons and carpenters are now working on the road outside the Blue Line. The same workers were previously busy all season building new camps.

Ironically, in some instances, the state of the national economy was negatively influenced by the very bankers and investment brokers whose camps these guys built.

Is it any wonder that our local communities are hemorrhaging their youth? What is left for kids to do? What do they have to look forward to? Are there any truly viable opportunities for sustainable, year-round employment?

And what do we have to offer to the youth of the park in terms of positive opportunities for entertainment? Where are their hangouts if there isn’t a local diner, bowling alley, movie theatre, private gym or a place to swim?

It would be wonderful if all of the park’s resident youth enjoyed outdoor activities, but we know that isn’t the case. Some individuals are made for that life, many are not.

With such a glaring lack of opportunities for positive recreational outlets, it’s no wonder that the allure of negative recreational outlets has become so enticing.

Last summer, I ran into a group of teenagers along a remote stretch of the Schroon River, near the salmon weir in North Hudson. There were a few tents set up and a couple of pickup trucks.

I asked the group what was the draw that brought them into the woods? Why were they visiting such a lonely, out of the way location?

I was hoping their answer would be because they wanted to enjoy the deep woods, the rushing waters or experience the solitude of wilderness. I imagined they had come to fish, to swim and to sit around the campfire. Unfortunately, they told me the truth!

“We come out here to get away from everyone, not because we like it here, there’s just no other place to hangout and have a

beer!” explained one teen.

“Since we can’t legally drink until we’re 21, we’ve got to hide. And that’s why there’s always trash left behind. We don’t want to be caught with a bunch of empties in the truck on the way home.”

There was no talk about the beauty of the pristine wilderness, no conversation about loons, brook trout or soaring mountain peaks. The conversation centered on the lack of entertainment. Sure, they could always hunt or fish or hike or bike, but we must remember that teens will be teens.

“If we had a local hangout, it would be real cool,” explained a red-haired fellow.

“But, we’d still have to come back here to drink our beer.”

It’s a sad statement on the state of the park when the main draw of wilderness for our youth, is a place to sneak a beer. What does it say about our future?

HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN FORECLOSURE NEW YORK STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT WE SEND YOU THIS NOTICE ABOUT THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME. IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR HOME. PLEASE READ THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT CAREFULLY. YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OR YOUR LOCAL LEGAL AID OFFICE TO OBTAIN ADVICE ON HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The state encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking

Department at 1-877-BANKNYS (1-877-226-5697) or visit the department's website at WWW.BANKING.STATE.NY.US . FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to "save" your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner's distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. § 1303 NOTICE NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON

Heath. “Cindy and I donated ours and Balfour made the tickets for the kids. Because that’s what the girls would have done anyways.”

“They always looked out for the underdog,” agreed Alexander.

Currently, the scholarship has been set up where one student will be chosen to receive $500 after their first semester and another will be chosen as a back up. If the first student passes their first semester, they will receive the scholarship money, if not, it will go to the second student.

“Right now it’s small, and we know it’s small,” said Heath. “If I had my choice, and I’m sure if Cindy had her choice, and I was Donald Trump, I would pay for the four years. But until we get enough money in [the fund] and get it established and get it built, that’s what we want to do.”

The tournament is planned to be held annual to help build the funds for the scholarship.

LeBeau, who has been on the American Legion softball league for 30 years, decided to have the tournament played with wooden bats, and a 2/1 start — where hitters will already have two balls and one strike when they get up to bat, to move the game along faster. There will also be a 12-foot arc limit, to even the playing field.

“There’s going to be some old timers playing and probably some women playing and younger kids playing,” LeBeau explained. “So, 12-foot is basically just [lobbing] it in there so they can hit it plain as day.”

The winner of the tournament will receive a trophy with a picture of Stephanie and Courtney on it. But LeBeau hopes the trophy will be placed in the SSHS trophy case.

“Every year we’ll put who won the tournament on the bottom; we’ll just put the team name and it will stay in the school.”

Other events planned for the weekend are a horseshoe tournament, music, food, raffles, auctions, and kid activities including a bouncy house. Events will be held from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

“There’s going to be something for everyone,” said Alexander.

“Everybody that finds out wants to help and do something,” LeBeau said. “Which is great.”

To sign up a team for the softball tournament, contact LeBeau at 492-2089 by Monday, Sept. 1. Drawing for the tournament will be held Tuesday, Sept. 2.

At 12 p.m. Saturday there will be a special ceremony in honor of Stephanie and Courtney which will include the National Anthem and the color guards.

“The community is not going to let these girls go away,” said Heath.
