Re-enactment kicks off Battle of Plattsburgh By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com

Commemorating the Sept. 6 1814 skirmish at Halsey’s Corners in Plattsburgh, re-enactors dealt with rainy conditions. Photo by John Grybos

PLATTSBURGH — Watching the sky drizzle, soldiers grumbled that their black powder charges couldn’t be trusted in such watery weather. They stood shoulder-to-shoulder a few minutes later, watching the enemy approach. The order was shouted to ready rifles for the opening salvo. As the rain fell, another order was shouted, “Fire!” Click. Click. Click. The rifles weren’t firing. Just as the soldiers had feared, the black powder rounds were failing.

BOOM! The last rifle in line roared fire at the enemy line. “The cannon!” shouted one of the enemies. “Wait for the cannon to fire, that’s the signal to start.” The cannon was actually a 1/3 size carronade set up by re-enactor Craig Russell. Russell represented the Americans in a mock battle that placed the British at a disadvantage of two to one. Tom Pray, a redcoat, offered an explanation, “It's hard to round up that many guys, especially when it's raining.” This preview of the annual Battle

MOOERS — The Town of Mooers Democratic Party has named its slate of candidates for town positions that will be on the ballot this November. During the party’s Aug. 24 caucus, four candidates were chosen to run for offices that will be up for grabs. Chosen were Cory Ross for town supervisor, Michael Willette and Alfred “Alfie” Ladue for two councilman positions, and Joshua Willette for town justice. Cory Ross, owner of Ross Funeral Home, threw his hat into the ring for supervisor after learning current supervisor Rudolph H. Miller Jr. wasn’t nominated for another term by his fellow Republicans and that a political newcomer, Justin Sample, was given the nod. Ross said he understands running a town is much like running a business, and that having run his own business for the past 18 years, he can

North Country native finds success in chosen career path Carol Hoenig published author, publishing consultant

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

LONG ISLAND — Carol Hoenig is hundreds of miles away from the place she called home as a child, but it’s a place that lives on in her memories and in her published works. Hoenig, a native of Churubusco, is an accomplished author who was most recently nominated for the Best Long Island Author for 2012 by Long Island Press. “I just found out,” said Hoenig, in an interview over the phone from her Long Island home. The award is something Hoenig said she is honored to even be nominated for, though she is no stranger to receiving accolades for her work. Hoenig’s first published novel, “Without Grace,” was awarded the Silver Medal for Book of the Year 2005 by ForeWord Magazine and First Place for Fiction by the DIY Book Festival. Without Grace, which Hoenig considers her crowning achievement to date, is the story of a small-town girl set in the quiet, rural setting of Churubusco, albeit a different version of her hometown. “I romanticized the area a bit, putting Chateaugay Lake in Churubusco and certain things like that,” said Hoenig, adding characters in her book bare striking similar names to those found in Churubusco to this day. The book centers on a character named Vicky Finley, who becomes obsessed with finding her mother, Grace, after the death of

her grandmother. Vicky’s older brother, Kevin, does his best to look after Vicky while, at the same time, fighting to prevent their community from being taken over by a commercial developer. It’s a book that still gets people picking it up to this day, said Hoenig. “It’s been years since it was published and I still get e-mails from people who’ve read it or hear from my siblings who say so-and-so was reading a book about Churubusco and they found out it was yours,” said Hoenig, who graduated from what is now Northern Adirondack Central. “I never get tired of hearing of that.” Hoenig worked for several years as a national events specialist for Borders and, as fate would have it, the day a very positive review came out comparing her book to Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird,” her position at Borders was eliminated. “I had to decided then to start pounding the pavement for another job or start my own business,” she said. Hoenig started her own career as a publishing consultant, covering various aspects of the publishing industry, from handling book proposals to answering questions by authors breaking into the business. And, if that weren’t enough to keep her busy, she continues to work as a freelance writer, most notably as a blogger for The Huffington Post. Did Hoenig ever think she’d come this far as a writer? “I would fantasize about it, but actually, I wanted more to be an actress,” said Hoenig. “But, as I got older, I found I liked hiding behind the words and creating these characters instead of being on the stage.” When she hears herself being called a

Published author and publishing consultant Carol Hoenig has come a long way from her days of dreaming of being a writer in the small hamlet of Churubusco. Photo provided

‘Plucky Rooster’ name of new 1812 beer PLATTSBURGH — The results are in. The Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau and Legend’s Bistro have announced the winning name from their “Name that 1812 Beer” contest. The new 1812 ale has been named “Plucky Rooster Ale,” submitted by five different people Russell Jones, Howard Lowe, Bill Duffany, and Ed and April Quackenbush, all of Plattsburgh. The contest had more than 250 name entries. The name was chosen for its relevance to the Battle of Plattsburgh and the legend that surrounds the rooster on Commander Thomas Macdonough’s ship. Kristy Kennedy, group marketing specialist with the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau, said each of the entries was “very creative and really showed how passionate people are about our local history.” “We saw names that reflected Macdonough and his crew, ship names and some referenced the type of beer itself,” said Kennedy, adding she learned “a lot about the history through the names submitted.” “Ultimately, Plucky Rooster was chosen, because it was a unique story to the Battle of Plattsburgh and we knew visitors would find it to be a very memorable story.” The “Legend of the Plucky Rooster,” as it has been dubbed, states that on the morning of Sept. 11, 1814, the British fleet sailed around Cumberland Head and into the

The crew took the rooster ’s fighting spirit as a sign of good fortune and they were right. Macdonough’s crew won the battle and put an end to the war. Today, the U.S. Navy continues to have the rooster as a mascot on the U.S.S. Saratoga aircraft carrier.

AU SABLE FORKS — Au Sable Forks Knights of Columbus Council 2301 recently celebrated the 90th anniversary of its formation with a day of celebration. The Most Rev. Terry R. LaValley presided at the anniversary Mass and State Advocate Michael Stephany presented a proclamation on behalf of the New York State Knights of Columbus. The Au Sable Council also took the occasion to honor longtime member Leonard Snow, who will be 100 years old Sept. 14, 2011. Snow has been a member of the Au Sable Forks Council since 1945. Council 2301 was formed in 1921 thanks to the leadership of men from Plattsburgh Council 255 and Port Henry Council 384. In July 1921, 96 men became members and, on Aug. 1, 1921, they voted to purchase the Old Presbyterian Church building on the corner of Main Street and Church Lane, the location of today’s Holy Name Church. Fifty-dollar bonds purchased by the members financed the purchase. The council home remained at this location until 1929 when it was moved to Pleasant Street. Today, the council meets in Holy Name School and strives to serve the school, parish and community.

Chazy Redemption Center makes a living cashing in of Chazy on the town’s main road has made all the difference. “It’s a good location,” said Collins. The high-visibility location has netted many customers, said Collins. “The first week we were open, the Chazy soccer team had a bottle drive and brought in like 26,000 bottles,” said Collins, laughing. “We had a lot of bottles to sort out.” But, that doesn’t phase Collins. “We’ll sort them, count them — we do everything,” he said. “It’s easier if they are counted so you’re not waiting in line while we count them for you, but we’ll do it for you. No problem.” The main thing people should know when it comes to returning cans and bottles that all they have to do is look for the “NY” and amount of deposit their worth.

CHAZY — When Tim Collins and his wife, Karri, opened Chazy Redemption Center in February, they didn’t know how well it would do. What they’ve found over the past seven months is they’ve got a business that’s really adding up. Chazy Redemption Center — located at 9592 State Route 9, next to Up North BBQ and Catering — has been providing a service of taking in re-

deemable, recyclable cans and bottles on what all started on a whim. Collins said it was inspiration from a man he works with during his fulltime job that gave him the idea to start his own redemption center. “He and his wife started a redemption center in Dannemora,” said Collins. “And, he told me the stuff I needed to do to start my own. So, we thought we’d give it a try.” The starting of his own business began with location and the location in the center

“Some people don’t realize when you go to the grocery store you’re paying that extra five cents a bottle,” said Collins, who noted bottled water is among the most recent redeemables. “And, [water bottles] are about half our business.” “You’re paying that deposit, so you might as well get it back,” he added. And, if you don’t want your money back, Collins said you can bring your redeemable bottles and cans in and can donate the proceeds to the Chazy Athletic Association and Chazy Youth Hockey. Chazy Redemption Center is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The business also has its own page on Facebook and is in the process of creating a website at www.chazyredemptioncenter.com. For more information, call the redemption center at 846-3999.

North Countryman Editorial

It’s September, and it’s nuts

et the craziness begin. With September comes the cool touch of morning fog, the sound of Canada Geese, the sight of fall foliage, and the taste of newly harvested apples. What’s most striking, however, is the mind-scrambling list of things to do. It’s like someone has thrown 100 balls in the air for each person to catch. School children were enjoying their last free weeks of summer in mid-August when stores began putting Halloween candy and costumes in the aisles. Against our will, retailers have placed us on a conveyor belt on the fast track to Christmas, which starts a new run of holidays that won’t end until next summer. So much for the school year. As Tropical Storm Irene slammed the door on our summer of fun, she turned our world upside down. For motorists, detours are an inconvenience, but for some residents, the damage to their homes and businesses was life-altering. Many had no flood insurance. Many are still trying to clean up and rebuild. Many are hurrying before the onset of winter. With or without the governor ’s “Labor for Your Neighbor” program, neighbors would have helped each other out, rebuilding and raising money for recovery. And although we take exception to the volunteers’ white T-shirts that said, “Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Labor for Your Neighbor Hurricane Clean-Up Team,” because it seems a little self-promotional, we think it was a great idea to mobilize volunteers in hard-hit communities and put volunteerism up on a pedestal where it belongs. We give the governor points for building a “team” and getting things done. He even got a number of administration officials to volunteer on Labor Day weekend in Irenesuffering communities throughout the state. With a slick PR campaign surrounding his every move, perhaps a run for the White House is in Mr. Cuomo’s future come 2016. When visiting Keene on Labor Day, the governor dressed the part with blue jeans and work boots. Although his white governor ’s shirt got soaked with rain, it did not get dirty, despite Cuomo’s having carried a single bucket of mud from one end of a yard to the other, just so we could snap a picture

of New York’s chief “at work.” We commend one newspaper columnist, a Keene Valley resident, for refusing to take Cuomo’s picture during the bucket shot. Give him credit. Andrew Cuomo gets things done. From an on-time state budget to a same-sex marriage law, rebuilding roads and bridges after the spring floods, and rebuilding Route 73 from Keene Valley to the Northway after Tropical Storm Irene, people jump when the governor says “jump.” Experts told Cuomo it would take several months to open Route 73. But did he listen? No. “I believe we can get one lane open in 10 days,” Cuomo said at the Keene firehouse Sept. 5. “After 10 days, I told the team in Albany, ‘Either wheels are going to roll or heads are going to roll.’” Now that’s the kind of leadership we need. And let’s not forget the local officials caught up in the aftermath of Irene. We’ve seen tremendous leadership from people like Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee and Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas and their respective town board members and employees. We’ve seen them in action, and we admire their commitment to helping their communities. The real story on Labor Day weekend was the community spirit of helping those in need. We can’t thank the volunteers enough for raking, and cleaning and shoveling. Some were residents and others were visiting Essex County from all over the state and as far away as California. While there’s been a lot of progress in the past two weeks, there is much more that needs to be done in this recovery effort. Lives of many Adirondackers will never be the same after the flooding this year. They’re our neighbors and our friends. Please continue to help make someone’s life a little less hectic this fall.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR/WEEKLY COLUMNS • North Countryman - 7

www.northcountryman.com

Thankful to Horace Nye

Thanks for supporting

My husband has been a resident at Horace Nye for the past year, and I am impressed with the quality of care he is receiving under the present system, i.e. not for profit. The staff are always friendly, compassionate and caring, doing all in their power to provide the residents with activities and excursions, as well as attending to their physical and nutritional needs. Now, due to the expenses incurred and the lack of governmental support in providing sufficient tax revenue to help keep up the facility, the county is considering selling it. To quote the Rev. Chilton Mac Pheeters, as expressed in a recent article: “We have a social contract to love our neighbor.” Like it or not, we all get sick and old, and maintaining quality nursing homes should be a priority. I, for one, resent seeing a huge amount of my tax dollars paid out as school tax, a system my children graduated from decades ago. I feel that when one reaches 65 that he should have the option of redirecting this tax to the support of elder care and nursing homes rather than helping buy new astro turf for the football/soccer field or whatever else the school budget dictates. “Been there; done that.” Now it is time to support Horace Nye. Mary Benson Keeseville

I am president of the Northern New York Chapter of the Guardians of the Ribbon. We recently held a fundraiser to raise funds to get our pink fire truck repaired. The truck is used to raise awareness of women and children battling cancer in our area. I would like to thank all the business that donated items, either food items for the dinner or items for the raffle. It was all appreciated very much. Also, a big thank you to the Beekmantown Fire Department for letting us host the benefit at their station. To all the volunteers that showed up to help all day, your efforts were greatly appreciated. And last but not least, thanks to the public that supported the benefit. Through your geneous support and donations, we are well on our way to getting the truck repaired and back on the road spreading hope and support for women and children battling cancer.

Planting fall butterfly flowers

f I were to ask you what a butterfly garden looked like, what would you visualize? If you are like most people, you would describe a garden in full bloom during June, July and August. But, there are many butterfly flowers for the fall as well. And, if you want to provide ideal butterfly habitat, fall flowers are important for butterflies because they need energy for their long migration to their winter grounds. Many different species of butterflies migrate in the fall so that they can spend their winter in a warmer climate. Perhaps the most famous of these is the monarch butterfly, which travels thousands of miles to winter in Mexico or California. There are a wide variety of fall flowers that attract butterflies. Many of the annuals will bloom until the first hard frost, which in Plattsburgh occurs around the 20th of September. Some butterfly attracting annuals include cosmos, zinnias, french marigolds, and sunflowers. Many fall blooming perennials will continue to bloom through light frosts. These include asters, particularly the New England aster, goldenrod, and Joe-Pye weed. Besides making sure that your butterfly garden has fall blooming flowers, care

should also be taken during your fall cleaning chores. If your garden has good butterfly habitat throughout the spring and summer — a variety of flowers and some shallow puddles - you most likely have larvae or chrysalises in some of the places your can’t see. Unless you have fungal diseases you are trying to clean up, resist the urge to clean up the garden. This could disrupt or even kill the next generation of butterflies that will grace your garden next year. You can do the clean up in the spring, once the larvae have come out of hibernation. Another thing you might want to do in addition to planting fall butterfly flowers is leaving some apples on the ground in your garden. Rotting apples provide minerals and amino acids that some butterflies can use. Remember, also, that it’s a good idea to keep your butterfly garden chemical free, as butterflies are particularly sensitive to chemicals.

Making it a run to remember I would like to thank the runners and walkers that came out on Aug. 20 to participate in the 2nd-annual Run to Remember Doug Hoffman. The fun run raised $500 for the Alzheimer's Disease Assistance Center. It was a beautiful morning spent supporting a critical cause. I would also like to thank our sponsors, CSEA Local 884 Union, Liquor and Wine Warehouse, Starbucks, Price Chopper, Kinney, Hannaford, Smooth Moves, Rowell Insuring, Viking Ski Shop, L&M Grocery, Delish and Stewart's Shops. I appreciate you helping us honor my Dad's memory by doing what we can to help others with Alzheimer's and their families. Look for the run again next year. Thank you for your support.

What is in your child’s lunchbox?

hen it comes to the question of what’s in your child’s lunchbox, I know a lot of parents first reaction is, “I don’t have time to make lunch for my kids.” Well, that is just a poor excuse. Nobody “has” time. You have to “make” time. Please, for the health and well-being of your child, consider the following ideas. Over the next month or so, I am putting the focus of my articles on healthy school lunches for kids. As parents, naturally we want only the best for our children. Making them a healthy and nourishing lunch is something that we have control over. I am big on the idea of not forcing people or my children to eat a certain way but by leading by example, and often explaining the benefit of eating this over that. So parents, these lunches will work for you, too. The first thing you need to do is purchase a good lunch box, ice packs, and containers that you may need for food storage. I choose to use reusable containers instead of plastic bags to lessen my impact on the environment. I have also purchased a thermos to pack hot lunches for when the weather gets cooler. You’ll also want to consider a drink container. Make sure your food and drink containers are non-toxic and BPA free. Next you need to make a menu. I’ve spent the summer experimenting with different new and healthy meals that would work for school lunch. I’ve created a small menu of about six

meal options so far that I plan on rotating throughout the week. I am making a calendar just like they hand out at school with the menu for the month. That way I am prepared. I know exactly what to buy and exactly what I will be making so I don’t have to think about it when we are pressed for time in the morning or tired the evening before. I have also prepared a list of snack ideas that I will have ready to go as well. Now that you have your menu, go shopping and stock up with the ingredients that you need to pack your child’s lunch. Don’t forget to pack healthy sides like fresh fruit, cut up vegetables, and whole grain crackers. I think it is very important to give kids options. Just like you, they just may not be in the mood for a certain food on a certain day. Sometimes my kids will devour their lunches, other days they just pick at the finger foods. So make sure they have healthy options to choose from that way you can rest assured that they are at least eating something nourishing. Stay tuned, for in the following weeks I will be including healthy meal and snack ideas.

Battle of Plattsburgh returns this weekend PLATTSBURGH — The annual Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration will return this weekend. The three-day event — to be held Friday, Sept. 9, through Sunday, Sept. 11 — is marking its 14th year with Battle of Plattsburgh-related events having already begun including musical performances, reenactements and dedications. Several performances have already been held, including performances by Patrick Fitzsimmons and Woods Tea Company at Trinity Episcopal Church and the Will Patton Ensemble at Clinton Community College’s Stafford Theater. The performances will continue through the weekend, including acts such as the U.S. Navy Band Northeast’s Dixieland Group; Her Majesty’s Royal Marine Band of Cobourg, Ont.; the Too Tall String Band; Town Meeting; and many others. “We are pleased to provide a series of top quality acts,” said Keith Lunn, chairman of the entertainment committee. “Many are familiar to area listeners, but several are new to our event and are sure to impress their audiences.” The commemoration weekend’s events will kick off Friday with the dedication of a memorial monument honoring the U.S.S. Saratoga, a 36-gun frigate led by Master Commandant Thomas MacDonough, that is famous for being the largest warship to sail Lake Champlain. The dedication will take place at Plattsburgh Barracks Veterans Park located on the PARC Oval, at 10 a.m. Other events throughout the day Friday include self-guided tours of MacDonough Monument from 4 to 8 p.m., the Eliza Mooers Historic District Walking Tour at 5 p.m.; and a juggling performance at Trinity Park by Gratto Family Jugglers and Stilt Walkers, among other acts. Fireworks will wrap up the day’s festivities at 9:30 p.m. near MacDonough Monument. On Saturday, Sept. 10, the day will start out with the 7th annual Cannonball Fun Run — a 5k and 10k run and onemile walk/run — beginning at 9 a.m. Other events include a display of entries in the annual Plucky Rooster Contest, a stamp cancellation by the Boys Scouts of America, artillery demonstration at the Kent-Delord House Museum, battle reenactment at Beekmantown Town Hall, Battle of Platts-

burgh Challenge Cup bateau race at Champlain Monument, Roducky Derby, Rotary Bed Races, and the Macomb Ball. The highly-anticipated Battle of Plattsburgh Parade will start from Elks Lodge 621 on Cumberland Avenue at 1 p.m. and feature a theme this year of "A Salute to the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont" in honor of the Vermont volunteers who came to Plattsburgh’s aid during the September 1814 engagement. Grand Marshal of this year ’s parade will be Maj. Gen. Michael Dubie, Adjutant General of Vermont and Commander of the Vermont Army and Air Force Guard. "We are hoping several organizations will work on floats to showcase the vast history in the Champlain Valley,” said parade co-chair Vicki Giroux. "We have a rich history here and we look forward to capturing the imagination of many organizations." More than 90 units are expected to take part with many new participants, including musical performances by the U.S. Navy Band Northeast Dixieland Group, Her Majesty's Royal Marine Band of Cobourg, Ontario; the Peru High School Marching Band; the Police Pipes and Drums of Plattsburgh; the Spirit of Scotland Pipes and Drums; the Seth Warner Fife and Drum Corps and the Sailing Masters of 1812 Fife and Drum Corps. Parade co-chair Phil Rice said kids should consider decorating a bike or wagon to be in the parade. “It is a wonderful way to inspire young folks about the area’s vast history,” said Rice. Though time is running out before the parade, there is still availability to enter. However, the earlier people enter, the better, said parade co-chair Diane Brockway. "It is really important that people register so we can be well organized in advance of Sept. 10,” said Brockway. “At best, getting a parade lined up and moving on time is hectic. Early registration is a big help.” On Sunday, craft demonstrations, kids games, and other activities will round out the day, including an 1814 Battle Reenactment at the Champlain Monument narrated by Keith Herkalo at 1 p.m. The day will also include an annual Soup Cook-off hosted by the National Alliance for Mental Illness of the Champlain Valley from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on City

from page 1 of Plattsburgh celebration dedicated the Invasion Trail that the British followed in the build-up to the battle and the placement of an interpretive display at the corner of Halsey Court and Boynton Avenue. Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Bernie Bassett attended the event, and said that Plattsburgh's rich history should be as celebrated as other sites important to American history. The town is working on a destination master plan to encourage tourism and increase local awareness of important historical spots. “There's so much history that's taken place through the ages that is simply lost,” said Bassett. Many battles took place in the town, said Bassett. The celebration that the city puts on is great, but once there weren't political distinctions dividing the Town and City. The entire area was part of the battleground, and local history should be promoted more aggressively, he said. Town Historian Jerry Bates said the battle site is part of everybody's history here. It's good to know what came before so you can understand your place in time, he said. The Invasion Trail marks points of interest on the path the British marched. It's not such an easy hike for most,

Hall Place. New this year will be the “Children’s Old-Time Village Fair” located on the MacDonough Monument grounds, featuring storytelling, horseback rides, arts and crafts, and an old-time country store” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. “That’s new. There’s been a lot of work that’s gone into that with over 17 different activities for kids,” said VanCour. Though there are many “entertaining” activities happening throughout the Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration Weekend, VanCour said he doesn’t want people to lose sight of the reason for the event. “We want people to realize it’s not a celebration of the Battle of Plattsburgh, but it’s more of a commemoration designed to be informative as to the part this area played in history,” said VanCour. “But, we combine entertainment with education so people have a good time.” Admission buttons — which give people access to all concerts and events — are available for $10 at Corner-Stone Book-Shop, North Country Co-op, BOPA Museum, Kent Delord House, Aubuchon Hardware, Rulfs’ Orchard, Key Banks, NBT Bank, Adirondack Bank, and Studley’s Printing. The button was designed by Kelsey Gilmore of Mooers Elementary School. For more information about this weekend’s events, visit www.battleofplattsburgh.org. Those interested in entering the parade may contact the parade committee at 593-5707 or 562-400, ext. 165, or via e-mail at bopparade@yahoo.com.

Mooers • North Countryman - 9

www.northcountryman.com

Mooers candidates from page 1 bring that experience to the position. “I have a strong background in business ... I care about the town I live in and I’ll watch people’s tax dollars and how they’re spent. I’ll make sure money’s not wasted,” he said. Ross said he’d like to continue to build on the fiscally-sound state of the town and will continue to listen to the issues of the residents, if elected. “I’ll be in the office every day and very accessible,” said Ross. “It’s important to be there and make yourself available. If there’s an issue going on in the town, I’d want someone to bring it to my attention to see what I can do about it.” One such issue is the town’s current codes and zoning regulations, which have been argued by some to be written in a way that hinders economic growth. “What I keep hearing most about is zoning,” said Ross, who said he would look more into the matter, if elected. “I’ll be there to address issues like that as they come. The important thing is to keep moving forward.” Ross is a 1992 graduate of Northern Adirondack Central School. He attended Norwich University in Northfield, Vt., before transferring to the State University of New York at Canton where he obtained a degree in mortuary science in 1994. Michael Willette said he chose to run for a seat on the council after having been an active volunteer in the community and his church for the past eight years. “I felt I needed to do more for our community,” he said of his reasons for running. Michael Willette, a member of the Knights of Columbus, has held several titles within that organization including that of president of the northern conference and treasurer. Utilizing his background in finance, Michael Willette said he’d like to look into ways to decrease expenses for the town and find more ways to

increase revenue. One way, said Michael Willette, is to examine creating a permit system for use of all-terrain-vehicles on town roads similar as to what has been done in other areas like St. Lawrence County and the Tug Hill region. “It’d be duplicating what’s been done and what works in other areas,” he said. Michael Willette said he’d also like to reexamine the town’s contract for plowing county and state roads, to see if any additional revenue can be brought in from those levels of government. “We have a nice revenue coming in and I don’t want anything to interrupt that, but only see if there’s any way to increase that without putting a burden on taxpayers,” said Michael Willette. One of Michael Willette’s first orders of business, if elected, would be to establish the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance at each meeting, which he said is currently not done. “I think it’s important to remember who we’re working for,” said Michael Willette. Michael Willette is currently at home disabled following a 2003 accident. He previously owned his own construction company and was delivery driver for Agway Energy Products. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Clinton Community College which he obtained in 2006. Alfred “Alfie” LaDue said he decided to run for town council because he “always wanted to do it.” LaDue currently serves as head of the town youth commission, overseeing various sports programs for kids. “I think people are looking for change in the town of Mooers,” LaDue said of his reason for running. “I’m very outgoing when it comes to something like pushing to get something taken care of. I like that kind of challenge.” LaDue said among his chief concerns is making sure the town’s codes are business-friendly and written in a manner that they attract business, and by extension, revenue, to the town. “We have to make it a friendly environment for everyone,” he said. “Basically, I want to make sure people get a fair shot.”

LaDue said he is also concerned with making sure the town keeps its tax rates as low as possible. “I want to do the right thing now so people of Mooers are not getting high tax rates later. Times are tough right now and the last thing people want to see is taxes going way up. I’m a taxpayer, so I know.” LaDue has worked for the New York State Department of Corrections for the past eight years and has been an active coach for the town’s youth commission for the past 15 years, chairing the commission since 2008. He graduated Chateaugay Central School in 1992 and attended Clinton Community College for two years, majoring in physical education. Running for the four-year position of town justice is Joshua Willette, who is a 2007 graduate of the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. Joshua Willette, who works at NovaBus in Plattsburgh, said he wanted to pursue the position of town justice as a way to further himself in his interest of the criminal justice system. “I thought it’d be a good opportunity to get some decent experience and to learn more,” said Willette. “Eventually, I want to advance myself father in the criminal justice field ... I want to be able to learn as much as I can and make as much positive an influence in our community as possible.” As the father of 4-year-old, Willette said he also is concerned over an issue of some ATV operators traveling at high rates of speed and driving unsafe throughout the town. It’s his hope he can work hand in hand with authorities to crack down on offenders. “I’m hoping if I get into this position I’ll have a little more say and influence or pull to have something done to slow them down,” he said. The Town of Mooers Republican Committee held its caucus earlier this summer where the body nominated its own slate of candidates — Justin Sample for supervisor, incumbent councilmen Steve J. Barcomb and Earl D. Robinson, and incumbent town justice Jeffrey L. Menard.

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh Recreation Department will host the “Rockeater Adventure Race” next Saturday, Sept. 17. The recreation department and 99.9 The Buzz are hosting the new event at Plattsburgh City Beach that will consist of a five-kilometer race, starting at the main swimming area at the beach, with waves of 100 runners taking off every 30 minutes. The course will wind through the Heritage Trail and Scomotion Creek areas before returning back to the beach by way of the Crete Memorial Civic Center. The race will include obstacles like a mud pit, tunnel crawl, scramble net, water wading and even fire jumping. Registration for the race closed Sept. 1, though spectators are encouraged to turn out to witness the event, which will start with a first wave of runners at 2 p.m. The name for the Rockeater Road Race derived from the

slang terminology made famous by a Saturday Night Live skit last year in which actor Fred Armisen portrayed then Gov. David A. Paterson, referring to North Country people as “rockeaters.” Though Urbandictionary.com defines the term as someone “who is missing teeth” and is synonymous with “trailer trash,” recreation superintendent Steve Peters has said he wants to utilize the race as a way to give the term a fun, new meaning. The event will also include entertainment and music provided by 99.9 The Buzz throughout the race and an after-race party. Food, drinks, and vendors will be also available onsite. For more information about the Rockeater Adventure Race or to register, visit www.rockeateradventurerace.com or contact the recreation department at 324-7709 or recreation@cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov.

Dupree wins Modified 50; Roy crowned champion SOUTH PLATTSBURGH — Patrick Dupree rebounded from a hard crash last week and drove the Saranac Country Store No. 24 to his fourth win in the Mike Watts Memorial 50 for DIRTcar Modifieds Saturday at Airborne Speedway. Runner-up Kris Vernold, Craig Reyell and George Foley went wheel to wheel for second for the final 15 laps. Several car-lengths back, at speed, but taking no chances, Martin Roy of Napierville, Que., brought the Gamache Trucking No. 90 home in seventh place to secure the 2011 Ernie’s Discount Tools Modified championship. Roy, the 2009 champion, is the first Canadian racer ever to win two Airborne lead division championships. Foley, Roy’s only threat in the last point race of the season, was nearly taken out on the fourth lap when Dan Brown spun around in front of him as he entered the third turn, but Foley swerved in time. When the green came back out, Vernold was the leader with Dupree fifth, Roy sixth and Foley seventh. Dupree got to Vernold on lap 11 and passed him for the lead on lap 17. Vernold and Reyell diced for second the rest of the way. Foley joined in for the final 10 laps, but came up a few feet shy of third. Pierre Berthiaume finished 5th, a car-length behind Foley. Positions 6-10 went to Aaron Bartemy, Roy, Vince Quenneville, Adam Bartemy and Richard Tisseur. Dupree’s win was his fourth of the season. He was driving a new car which he hopes to run at the front with later in the month at Syracuse. Dupree finished third in the final 2011 standings - one spot behind Foley. Quenneville moved one spot past Andy Heywood to finish the regular season fourth in the standings. “I felt I was in a good place in the race,” Roy said. “I was trying to save the car, save the tires, and check on the 34 car (Foley). This is a very, very good race track. I am very happy to be the champion here. The night I flew by helicopter after a CASCAR race to get here and we won, my team said maybe we can win the championship.”

Vernold’s second-place effort was his best finish of the year. Dupree, Vernold and Matt Woodruff won the Modified heats. The J&S Steel Sportsman went 50 laps as eight teams from Autodrome St-Eustache joined in. The Quebec teams ran a wider tire and several Airborne drivers did the same, foregoing a chance to earn regular season championship points. That was a winning strategy for Plattsburgh’s Bucko Branham, who opened up a sizeable lead in the middle of the race and then held off all comers during several late race restarts. The top Airborne regular across the line on Airborne legal tires was Shawn Duquette, followed by Robin Wood, who clinched his second straight Sportsman title. Maxime Pelletier of Mascouche, Que., placed second. Jocelyn Gagnon of Ste-Annedes-Plaines was third, two car-lengths ahead of Brandon Atkins of Ausable Forks, who also ran the wider tire. Josh LeClaire of Plattsburgh won the NAPA Mini Modified feature in the Mt. Valley Integrated Systems No. 7. Kris Clark, who pressed LeClaire much of the way, Speedy Bresette, Matt Brousseau and Erick Sayles completed the top five. Lonnie Rivers of Cadyville took the Renegade checkers after holding off Robbie Favreau and Robert Gordon. Rookie Jason McClatchie was 4th. Josh Terry was 5th. Johnmichael Bresette of Keeseville won the Busch Bomber feature to remain in contention for the division crown, which will be decided this Saturday, Sept. 10. Modifieds: 1. Patrick Dupree, 2. Kris Vernold, 3. Craig Reyell, 4. George Foley, 5. Pierre Berthiaume, 6. Aaron Bartemy, 7. Martin Roy, 8. Vince Quenneville, 9. Adam Bartemy, 10. Richard Tisseur, 11. Pat McGrail, 12.

Plattsburgh City Beach closed for season Attendance, revenue up for 2011 PLATTSBURGH — As a result of the heavy rains from Tropical Storm Irene, the Plattsburgh City Beach closed early for the season last week. Its original closing date was slated for Labor Day, Sept. 5. Lake Champlain rose two feet in less than 24 hours Aug. 29, depositing seaweed and debris on the beach, said superintendent for recreation Steve Peters. In addition, with confirmatory water test results unavailable until after Sept. 5, combined with last weekend’s questionable forecast, city officials decided to close the beach for the season. “We had an outstanding summer at the City Beach this year and we are really disappointed that we couldn’t finish out the last few days,” said Peters. “Crews from both Public Works and the Recreation department worked feverishly this spring to clear debris from the lake flooding. Their efforts allowed us to be the only beach open in the area for a while. Combined with unseasonably warm temperatures for most of the summer, our numbers increased significantly which demonstrates that our beach has the potential to be the premier beach on the entire lake.” While the City Beach opened eight days later than scheduled due to the spring flooding and closed seven days early due to Irene, 2011 City Beach usage had increased significantly over last year. Total number of visitors exceeded 31,200 compared with 19,355 in 2010 and 14,829 in 2009. Fifty-two percent of City Beach visitors in 2011 were City of Plattsburgh and Town of Plattsburgh residents, while more than 40 percent were Canadians. Revenue exceeded $31,000 compared to $22,790 in 2010 and $21,994 in 2009.

C H A M P L A I N — Northeastern Clinton varsity volleyball coach Brent Banker is hoping that his team can be better at being “terminators.” “We are improving on terminating the ball on offense, but we still need to work on it,” Banker said. “We have a strong defense with quick players.” Banker said that his team is very deep with players that can contribute, including Vada Loya, Kelly Rogers, Sarena Foster, Stephanie LaValley, Tori Duprey, Brooke Seymour, Jackie Barcomb and Ellen Reid. Banker said that, with that depth, he is hopeful the team will be in the mix for the Class C championship. “We should compete with the good teams this year,” He said. “It will be a successful season if we win the Class C sectionals.”

The Northern Adirondack boys varsity soccer team will be looking to fill several positions due to graduation last season, and head coach Peter Kowaloski said that will be the big challenge for the season. “We are very young and very inexperienced,” Kowaloski said. “We are rebuilding all of our defense and half-backs. It could be a very challenging year for us.” However, the building that is done this year could be beneficial in the future, as only four members of the 2011 squad are seniors.

Co-coaches Damien Nevader and Sharon Relation said that their goal is to help the young players on their squad learn more about the game as the season goes on. “We have some very young players who are very good, it’s just the fact that we are very young,” Nevader said. “Our two center midfielders are freshmen.” “They need to come together as a team,” Relation said. “Our main thing is togetherness as a team. We have to learn to play off each others strengths.” The team is looking forward to improved play as well as working hard throughout the 2011 campaign. “We want to see the work

Chiefs score opening win in football TICONDEROGA — Ben Weightman started out the 2011 football season proving that he remained a dual threat to opposing defenses. The senior quarterback threw for 124 yards and a pair of touchdown passes and ran for 123 yards as the Saranac Chiefs scored a 26-8 win over the Ticonderoga Sentinels Sept. 2. Matt McCasland opened the scoring with a six-yard run at the six minute mark of the second quarter. Weightman then found Nate Bedell on a 43-yard strike to give the Chiefs a 12-0 leading heading into halftime. Ryan Kerner was the next to receive a touchdown pass from Weightman, scoring from 26 yards out in the third quarter. K.J. Houle capped the scoring for the Chiefs with a twoyard run in the fourth.
