Fun run raises money to help school By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — Running not only provided a healthy activity for the students at Mooers Elementary School, it also helped raise money for school events. On Nov. 7, 25 students from the school ran or walked as many laps as they could at the Northeastern Clinton High School track, raising an estimated $1,600. “We would have loved more response, but we had a rash of illnesses,” explained Jennifer Judkins, a member of the Mooers Elementary Parent Teacher Partnership, the committee that planned the fun run. “For that fact I think we did really well.” The partnership, which aims to “promote and help the relationship between parents, and faculty/staff” at Mooers Elementary, brainstormed ideas to raise money at the end of the last school year. “[We were] just looking for a different fundraiser,” Judkins explained. “Something different than catalogue sales or something like that.” Judkins added the school is putting an emphasis on health and eating right. “We just got to thinking about it and wondered could ... we help out with that.” Earlier this school year, students asked for donations from people if they made the commitment to

ExxonMobil grant helps continue literacy program By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com MOOERS — For several years, D&D Meats in Sciota has helped Mooers Elementary School continue their focus on literacy at a young age. This year the school is kicking it up a notch. D&D Meats owner Sharon Dutil has applied for the $750 Mobil Exxon Education Alliance Grant for Mooers Elementary School every year because of her history with the school. “I went to school at Mooers, so did my kids. Just seemed natural,” Dutil said. “I definitely want to keep [the grant] in the area anyhow.”

Dutil just fills out a little bit of paperwork every year, then it gets sent to the school where they explain their plans for the money. “Most times that we’ve received the grant, it’s gone towards early literacy for incoming kindergarten students,” explained school literacy coach Sara Dupee. The youngsters are invited by the school once a month, from January to May, where they receive supplies to help them excel in reading and writing. “We target different literary areas and skills,” said Dupee. “We talk about reading readiness. One-to-one correspondence when reading stories.”

The grant money the school receives every year helps pay for the supplies and keeps the program running. “If [students] can start young and find out where their weaknesses lay, then it’s going to help them,” said Dutil, which is why she continues to apply for the grant every year. “[Reading] is a path for everything,” she added. “How far can they get in school if they can’t read?” This year however, Dupee said there is a new program the school is working on, to further help with literacy at a young age. But coordinators of the project don’t want to give away the surprise just yet. “It’s just something that’s going to

As for D&D Meats continuing every year to provide the money for the school, Dupee said it’s “awesome.” “I really appreciate that they think of us,” she said. “Even though we’re not right in Sciota, it’s still nice that they are keeping in mind the school.” “It’s terrific that they are continuing to foster that even though they’ve left and they don’t have anybody directly involved with the school,” she added, “but they want to help out the other students that are here.”

New transition council to help ease closure of Pfizer facilities By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — After Pfizer Inc. announced its plans to close three local facilities Nov. 9, it took less than a day for a plan to be formed. The Plattsburgh-North Country Chamber of Commerce worked to put together the Pfizer Transition Coordinating Council. The group consists of more than 20 local and state government leaders, the North Country Regional Workforce Investment Board, the chamber, and many other entities, with more anticipated to join. The group held its first meeting Nov. 10. “I can tell you the conversation was entirely productive,” said chamber president Garry C. Douglas. “We didn’t spend an hour-and-a-half wringing our hands. Didn’t spend an hour-and-a-half beating up on ‘woe be us,’ or ‘darn somebody didn’t do something.’ We focused immediately on the task at hand in a positive and determined way.” One of the priorities of the council is to “maximize the assistance and support for the impacted employees and their families,” Douglas explained. Aside from the usual assis-

tance such as unemployment insurance, the committee is looking into other resources that may be able to help. The group is also defining the community impact of the facility closures, including property taxes, and sewage and water use. Economic development and

marketing is another task at hand for the council. “We have reasons to feel good ... as economic developers, because of the quality of the facilities, the quality of the workforce, the quality of the location and the support systems of this community,” said Douglas.

During the council’s meeting, Pfizer agreed to collaborate with the committee in marketing the facilities. “We were able to lay the groundwork for turning thing around with the Wyeth closure four years ago,” Douglas said. “We can’t promise that kind of outcome, but this

morning started a partnership of the entire council team, with Pfizer, going forward to devise and pursue and engage in the very best and most aggressive possible marketing effort.” David F. Champagne III, managing director of Pfizer ’s manufacturing site in Rouses Point, assured the closure of the facilities was taken very seriously by Pfizer. “It is part of a global restructuring,” he explained, “after the Pfizer and Wyeth acquisition. And, you should know that Pfizer still has a large presence in New York State.” Champagne also took the time to clarify when each of the facilities will be closed. The operation division of the animal research division, located in Chazy, will be closed by mid-year 2010, with the “decommissioning activities” happening by the end of 2010. “We also have a small operation in the PARC facility here in Plattsburgh who does clinical supply and packaging,” Champagne said. “We have an extended lease with them, so we’ll be working with that base to close that facility over the course of the coming months.” The chemical pile facility in Rouses Point will be shut down by the end of 2010. Chazy Town Supervisor

Staub G. Spiegel will chair the transition council. “Obviously, we’re facing a very difficult situation. Something brand new to Chazy,” Spiegel said. “I know we’re going to work hard together to make a very negative, a very positive.” “I’m confident in the next few months, we’re going to come here and rejoice, because I really feel that something good is going to come out of this,” he added. “‘There’s a reason for everything,’ they say, and we’re going to find out what this one is.” Plattsburgh Town Supervisor Bernard C. Bassett said as time goes on, the “ripple effect” of the closures will be identified. “The impact of taking millions of dollars out of the local economy is going to be felt by a waitress at one of our restaurants when that table is empty,” said Bassett. “We can’t let that happen. We’re not going to.” Bassett also feels the facility’s highly-skilled and trained workforce will be a “desirable” asset when marketing. Champagne said Pfizer is currently putting together a program that may offer a limited number of employees the option to transfer.

Nearly $1 million received for renovations to village’s old D & H Railway Station Interior photos of building still being sought By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com ROUSES POINT — The D & H Railway Station has been a fixture of the village of Rouses Point since its erection in 1885. Today, a committee is working to bring it back to it’s hayday. According to village mayor George Rivers, everything that was in the station was moved out in the 1980s, with the building left to deteriorate. In the 1990s, the building was nearly demolished, but instead the village purchased it for $5,000. Since the building’s purchase, the Project Advisory Committee has been formed and for many years has been working to get grants and donations to bring the building back to it’s origins. But money has been hard to come by. “It was frustrating for us to watch that building because we all had a sense that we needed to do something,” said revitalization project manager Melissa McManus. However, in recent months former Congressman John McHugh has promised the committee $95,000 as a part of the stimulus package and the Department of Transportation has promised $832,000. With the donations that have come in, the building now has nearly $1 million to transform the station. During a meeting held by the advisory committee Nov. 9, McManus helped the community to understand the plans that are currently underway for the building, including what they hope for the interior. “When we went out for funding, we iden-

tified some purposes we would like to see served by that building,” McManus said. “The first is a museum for the village. A place where we can take all of the wonderful artifacts that people donate to our village historians office and to our historic society and house them and preserve them for the future.” Other ideas the committee has discussed include office space for the village historian, archival space for historic documents, and a welcome center. “We realize that that’s not enough space to accommodate all those and some of those things may come into conflict,” said McManus. “If you’re going to have artifacts, you can’t have the public milling around through them and not have them protected.” The committee is working with an engineering firm, Erdman Anthony, and an architecture group, Argus Architecture, to plan out exactly how to use the building. The plan is to have the building complete in March 2012, to follow the guidelines set by the stimulus package, in order to receive the money. But first, designs are being made which will be brought back to the community for discussion. According to McManus, they should be able to go out to bid by December of next year, followed by the beginning of construction in 2011. “We’ll balance the historic with the modern day needs,” she said. The committee is searching for interior photos of the railway station. McManus may be contacted at 297-6753 or melissamcmanusllc@gmail.com.

ypsy is a domestic short-hair who is a very loving cat who enjoys receiving a lot of attention. She would do best in a home of her own. She is spayed, FeLV/FIV tested, up-to-date on vaccinations. Tucker is a young Peek-A-Poo who is shy and anxious to find a warm, friendly forever home. He is up-to-date with routine shots and is neutered.

Elmore SPCA

he interest in Microsoft’s newest operating system is quite high with many people anxious to try the newly-released Windows 7. Before running out and plunking down some hard-earned cash, consider how others are getting the new operating system. One thing to decide is whether its time for a PC. If the system is more than 3 years old and currently has Windows XP, it may be time for a new one. Up to 3 years old and running Vista makes the PC much more of a candidate. The question is whether to put money toward a new system with Windows 7 preloaded makes more sense than upgrading an older system. Once the decision is made to upgrade the current computer to Windows 7, know there are a few options. For users in a hurry, the first option is to buy a retail copy off the shelf. If upgrading multiple computers is the goal, keep an eye open for the “Windows 7 Family Pack.” This option allows users the ability to upgrade three computers at home for $149.99, which is still a good price for upgrading only two computers. The family pack, available at retailers and on-line at the Microsoft Store — http://store.microsoft.com — has discs for both 32bit and 64-bit computers so system compatibility is not an issue.

e have all fallen at some point in our life, most of the time not injuring ourselves, but probably feeling silly or embarrassed. The elderly population face a greater risk of falling so we thought it appropriate to discuss preventing falls, not only at home but outside. Serious falls can result in broken bones and can be life changing. There are simple precautions to follow that can ensure safety and reduce your risk of falling. A periodic safety check of your home is suggested and can include the following: • Stairways — Make sure all handrails are in working order and securely fastened. It is important to note both sides of the steps should have handrails. • Floors and rugs — Make sure all floorboards are secure and even; all rugs should be fastened to the floor with tacks, non-skid pads, or double-sided tape. • Bathroom — Place non-slip strips in the bathtub/shower; secure bath mats with non-slip, double sided tape; mount grab bars at the toilet, bath and shower, and on the walls; use adaptive equipment such as a bath chair, raised toilet seat, or handheld shower. • Kitchen — Keep frequently used items within reach; if a step stool is necessary always use one that has a bar at the top. • Lighting — Use nightlights in hallways, bedrooms, and bathrooms; install light switches at the top and bottom of the stairs; have a lamp near your bed. • All rooms — Keep obstacles out of traffic area. • Outside of your home — Repair walkways; arrange for snow, ice, and leaves to be removed from walkways; have salt

and sand available during the inclement winter months; walk carefully and carry a cell phone if available. Assessing your home for fall hazards and making necessary changes to prevent them are very important. It is also recommended you talk to your physician or pharmacist about possible side effects of medications and over-thecounter drugs. Have your eyes checked on a regular basis. Vision problems can cause falls. Wear proper shoes. Stay as physically active as recommended by your physician. Exercise strengthens muscles and can enhance balance and coordination. If you are a low-income homeowner and require assistance in making necessary modifications to your home, there are programs available to assist.

Another secret: Don’t believe everything you see

ne of the most common misconceptions about coupons is that the item that you buy must match the picture that appears on the face of the coupon. It's true that you can use the coupon to purchase the item that's pictured. However, you want to pay close attention to the text on a coupon, too. After all, the text contains the precise information that the coupon's bar code is programmed to deliver at the checkout counter. Which brings us to this week's tip.

Forget the Photos, Read the Fine Print

those. Look closely at the wording on these coupons. While the coupon may show a boxed or bagged variety of meat, the wording often spells out a wider deal, such as "$1 off 1 package of [brand] sliced meat, or 1lb. of [brand] sliced meats at the deli." These coupons are a great way to save on freshsliced meats of the same brand at the deli counter. Ready for another tip? This one involves brand loyalty. While we all have favorite brands of things, our brand loyalty can cost us in the long run if we aren't shopping smart for those favorite-brand items when By Jill Cataldo they're on sale. Major brands often engage in what the industry calls "price wars" with one another. We see this frequently with items such as pasta sauce, where numerous brands compete to sell what is essentially the same product. Brand A may be cheap one week, but next week Brand B barrels in with an even lower price. This works out well for shoppers who aren't particularly partial to any specific brand. But, if we think "I really like Brand A, and I will always buy it no matter what," it's great when Brand A is on sale for $1.29 a jar and we've got a 75-cent coupon for it. But when the sale ends and Brand A goes back up to $3.29 a jar, we'll be paying the price. If we can let some of our brand preferences slide a little bit and fluctuate along with the sales, we can save more money in the long run. Next week, I'll share one of the biggest and most surprising tips with you. It involves which days of the week are the least expensive days to shop at the grocery store. You might be surprised to learn what they are!

Coupon Queen

It's a very common marketing technique for a manufacturer to show a new or more expensive variety of a product on the face of a coupon in the hope that you will buy this new or more expensive variety. If you read the coupon, though, you'll discover that the offer is good for "$1 off any [brand] product." Consider a coupon for a new variety of cold medicine put out by a leading manufacturer. The coupon may show the new, multisymptom medicine in the picture, hoping that you will want to try it, but the text states clearly that you can use the coupon on any medicine from this manufacturer. Learning to distinguish between what the photo suggests and the full terms of the deal that the text actually spells out is a skill that can really help shoppers, giving us more freedom to buy the item we may prefer versus the variety shown in the photo. I recently had a coupon for a new variety of skincare product. It showed a photo of the lotion, and the text read "$1 off [brand] lotion, body wash, or any [brand] product." That wording is key! When I didn't see a good sale for the company's lotions or body wash, I did see a bar of the same brand of soap - for 99 cents. With my coupon, it was free. Brand-name sandwich meat is an area where it can pay to read coupon wording closely. People often ask me how to save at the deli counter. It's not always easy to get discounts on fresh-cut cold cuts. But many meat manufacturers sell prepackaged deli meats, too, and there are often coupons for

Chazy takes title over Willsboro in class D championship By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Since 2002, the Chazy Central Rural School boys soccer team has taken home five Section VII Class D titles, this year was no exception. After scoring the only goal of the game by Brandon Laurin, Chazy knew they had to work defensively during the second half. “We knew that sometimes the elements are a factor and the wind was pretty strong going one way,” said Chazy coach Rob McAu-

liffe. “We had to win in our favor the first half.” Despite the one goal lead, McAuliffe was concerned going into the second half. “We generated quite a few chances in the first half and just didn’t capitalize on them,” he said. McAuliffe also felt Willsboro could have easily been the winning team. “Any time you can come here and beat a team that’s as coached as well as Willsboro is, and have players like Lucas Strong and Justin Drinkwine in goal,” he explained.

“They’re a great team.” Willsboro’s coach Andrew Lee felt the same about Chazy. “They always possess the ball well,” Lee said. “They always go after it.” Despite the loss, Lee felt Clay Sherman, Justin Drinkwine, Dakota Sayward, Lucas Strong, Patrick Wells, and Alex Hamel all played an excellent game. “They all play well up front,” he said. “We came out ready to go. We knew our game plan and we stuck with it.”

PHS takes Section VII title against NCCS By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAZY — After a tough first half, the Plattsburgh High School girls soccer team came back in the second to score twice on the Northeastern Clinton Central School girls, ultimately taking Section VII Class B title. “The first half we played a little flat, timid,” said PHS coach Tim Mulligan, so he lit “a little fire under them” during half time. Although NCCS didn’t win the championships, they led the first half of the game after a leading goal by Alli Ebersol, less than 4 minutes into the game.

NCCS coach Josie Gilroy said the team was dealing with injuries and illness. “We had kids playing tonight who were sick still,” she explained. Despite it all however, Gilroy was happy with the way her players played. “Plattsburgh’s a good team. They came back with the two great goals and that put us behind. So it was a tough comeback.” “We didn’t give up until the bitter end,” Gilroy added. Mulligan was proud of his team as well. “Meagan Gadzuk-Shea, she played hard the entire game,” he said. “I used her as an example at half time. How we get going to the ball. She just does it. Game in and game out.” Mulligan added Charisse Abellard was

also a strong leader in the game. “Especially with the throw ins,” he said. He added NCCS played with a lot of energy. “I felt like they had layers who are average who were playing above themselves,” Mulligan said. “They were just playing with a lot of heart.”

Heart Association kicks off plans for annual Go Red for Women Dinner By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The local chapter of the American Heart Association continues to battle the number one killer of women in America — heart disease. Go Red for Women, a national movement founded by the American Heart Association, hosted a screening Nov. 4 at Cumberland 12 Cinemas of “Choose to Live!” — an NBC documentary featuring actress Andie MacDowell and hosted by television personality Hoda Kotb. The 30-minute special was shown as part of a kickoff for a Go Red for Women dinner in January and aimed to inspire women to make healthy lifestyle changes by highlighting personal stories of women choosing to beat heart disease. “It was extremely well done,” said local Go Red for Women chairperson Denise

Calkins Ryder. “Everyone commented on how educational and informative it was.” The documentary featured two women with different health concerns — one who suffered a heart attack and the other suffering from diabetes and obesity — and how they made improvements to their lives to improve their health. “What I like about it is that we were educating the women who were there on heart attack and stroke,” said Calkins Ryder. The mission of educating women and men is near and dear to Calkins Ryder, whose own family has a history of heart disease and other heart-related conditions. “My father died of a heart attack while jogging and he was only 52,” said Calkins Ryder. “He was not overweight, he was not diabetic, he had no symptoms, that we knew of, anyway. So, it’s really scary. We obviously

have to be aware of symptoms and I think this is what we can do to help.” The “Hearts in Common” dinner, which will be held Wednesday, Jan. 20, will also help Go Red for Women in its mission, said Calkins Ryder. The dinner will feature speakers, workshops and health screenings, as well as a silent auction. The event will be held at the Angell College Center on the State University of New York at Plattsburgh campus and only 400 tickets will be sold. “We already have probably 250 gone,” said Calkins Ryder. “We’ve proved that more than likely in the next few weeks or the next month we’ll have them all gone.” For more information about the dinner or to make a reservation, contact Calkins Ryder at 324-4116 or Faith Osborne Long, regional director of the American Heart Association, at 6439760.

Women veterans health fair this Saturday at VFW post By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The women who have served this country have not been forgotten and an event planned for this weekend aims to serve as evidence. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 125, 116 Boynton Ave., will host its first Military Women’s Health and Wellness Fair this Saturday, Nov, 14, from 1-4 p.m. Steve Bowman, director of the

Clinton County Veterans Service Agency, said women veterans are among some of the “most underserved” veterans today. “We know we have 183 women veterans in the tri-county area, which includes Franklin and Essex counties,” said Bowman. “We’re going to try to reach out to them to let them know what’s available to them.” “This will be the first time anything like this has been offered in the North Country,” Bowman added.

The fair will include an overview of women’s Veterans Administration health benefits, combat veteran eligibility, coverage for pregnant veterans and behavioral health services. Staff from the Albany VA Medical Center and Plattsburgh VA Clinic, as well as county and state veterans representatives, will be on-hand to answer questions regarding veterans benefits. Resource tables will be available with several topics of interest for military women.

A question and answer period will follow presentations. Women who have served at any time in any branch of the military, including the National Guard and Reserves, noted Bowman, are invited to attend. Pre-registration for the health fair is not required, but those interested in attending are encouraged to contact the Veterans Service Agency in advance to ensure adequate refreshments are available. The agency may be reached at 565-4720.

Learning about lung cancer could help smokers quit W

hen it comes to personal health, more and more people have grown increasingly aware of how the choices they make today will have an impact for years to come. In addition to eating healthier, more people now include exercise in their weekly routines. As November is Lung Cancer Awareness, one lifestyle change many have attempted to make, with varying degrees of success, is to quit smoking. While it’s often difficult and nerve wracking to stop smoking, it’s certainly worth it, as the potential consequences of continuing, most notably lung cancer, should prove a strong enough motivating factor even for those who are struggling mightily to stop lighting. According to the National Cancer Institute, roughly 220,000 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed in 2009, and more than 159,000 will lose their battles with lung cancer this year. Those statistics are especially frightening when considering many people who smoke are fully aware they are increasing their risk of lung cancer, but continue to smoke anyway. As education about lung cancer is often helpful for those attempting to quit, consider the following information if you or a loved one is attempting to make the lifestyle change that could very well someday save their life.

What is lung cancer? A significant majority (roughly 99 percent) of lung cancer cases fall into two categories, which are classified based on the size of the cancerous tumor. · Small cell lung cancer is, as its name suggests, associated with those cancers wherein the cancer cells are smaller than typical cancer cells. Instances of SCLC are less common, affecting only about 20 percent of people diagnosed with lung cancer, but their comparatively tiny stature does not make them any less harmful. In fact, these cancer cells reproduce rapidly, forming large tumors quickly. As a result

occurs when the cells that form the lining of the lungs become cancerous. Large cell carcinomas make up about 10 percent of all cases, and are those that appear large and abnormal upon examination under a microscope.

What are the risks for lung cancer?

of that rapid reproduction, SCLCs, which are typically the result of smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, have often spread to other parts of the body before they’ve even been initially diagnosed. · The most common type of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer accounts for roughly 80 percent of all lung cancer diagnoses. NSCLCs are actually classified into three different subcategories: — squamous cell carcinomas — adenocarcinomas — large cell carcinomas Squamous cell carcinomas originate along the respiratory tract, specifically in the thin, flat cells that line the respiratory passages. Adenocarcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed form of lung cancer, accounting for 30-40 percent of all cases. This

According to the Lung Cancer Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to providing support and advocacy for those with or at risk for lung cancer, more than 85 percent of lung cancer cases are caused by smoking. Simply put, those who are still smoking are putting themselves at a heightened and ultimately unnecessary risk of lung cancer. Of the more than 4,000 chemicals contained in cigarette smoke, the majority have been linked to causing cancer. For those who are trying to quit, research has indicated that a person who quits smoking will have the same risk as a person who never smoked 15 years after quitting. That means a smoker who quits at 30 will, by the time he or she turns 45, have the same risk of lung cancer that a fellow 45-year-old who never smoked has. But smoking isn’t the only thing that increases a person’s risk for lung cancer. One additional risk factor is exposure to radon, a carcinogen and byproduct of radium that is present in both indoor and outdoor air. This heightens the importance of having a home routinely tested for radon, as prolonged radon exposure increases the risk for lung cancer. Other potential causes of lung cancer include exposure to asbestos (which can also lead to mesothelioma, a cancer that affects the lining of the lungs and stomach) and exposure to cancer-causing agents in the environment. To learn more about lung cancer or for help with quitting smoking, visit the National Cancer Institute Web site at www.cancer.gov.

How indoor smoking ban became bad for the environment I

n many states smoking has been banned in public indoor areas. For nonsmokers it helped clear the air and make for a safer indoor environment. For obvious reasons, many smokers were unhappy with the decision but begrudgingly began stepping outdoors for their daily smokes. The trouble with smoking outdoors is that butts inevitably end up being tossed to the ground and stamped out, even where cigarette butt receptacles or sand urns are present. These butts become litter and end up traveling miles to where you'd rather not find them, such as on the beach or in area ponds and rivers. According to environmentalists and information gleaned from the organization

Clean Ocean Action, New Jersey beachgoers may find more cigarette butts on the stretches of beaches they enjoy for summer recreation. Clean Ocean Action reports that their volunteer beach cleanup personnel collected 22,838 cigarette butts from New Jersey's beaches in April 2006 -- about 9,000 more than the previous year. This was the same year New Jersey inacted their indoor smoking ban. With the law in effect for a full year in 2007, the total escalated to 38,019 butts. Predictions are that this season there will be even more butts sharing room with beach blankets and vollyball nets. Many people simply do not make the correlation that dropping a cigarette on the ground in an urban area could reasonably enable that discarded butt to travel to sub-

urban or rural areas through the wind or storm drains. The trouble doesn't just lie on American shores. Studies conducted in Australia show a similar correlation between indoor smoking bans and the increasing number of cigarette butts turning up on beaches and in other areas. Cigarette butts are not merely unsightly litter. A common misconception is that the filters are made from cotton and will simply break down in the environment. Filters are actually made from cellulose acetate, a plastic-like substance. Over time, the filters break into smaller and smaller pieces, but are not biodegradable. The butts can be swallowed by fish that mistake them for food. Additionally, environmentalists have

determined that chemicals leached by the remnant tobacco and ashes could be toxic to tiny organisms, including the water flea, a tiny crustacean that serves as an important food source for small fish. Wildlife apart from ocean life may also be affected by inadvertently consuming discarded cigarette materials. Cigarette butts may seem small, but with several trillion butts littered every year, the toxic chemicals can add up. It's important to realize that cigarettes are litter much like aluminum cans or paper. Discarding them in proper receptacles can cut down on the amount of waste that affects our public spaces and make for a more aesthetically pleasing and healthier recreational opportunity.

Breaking new ground Hospice of the North Country broke ground for its new administrative facility on Tom Miller Road in the town of Plattsburgh Nov. 9. Executive director Kent W. Brooks, third from right, was joined by those involved with making contributions of resources and services to get the project started. Joining him, from left, was Robert G. Wallett, vice president of the Hospice board of directors and building committee chairman; architect Kim Musso; project general manager Ken Musso; previous landowners Suzanne B. and Donald M. Kasprzak; Linda Facteau, registered nurse and Hospice case manager; and engineer Karl T. Weiss. Brooks thanked the Kasprzaks for selling Hospice the property for half of its market value and thanked the other honored guests for making contributions that have well exceeded $125,000 in value. The project is expected to take three to six months to complete. Those interest in making a contribution toward the building project may contact Hospice’s office in Plattsburgh at 561-8465 or in Malone at 483-3200. Photo by Jeremiah S. Papineau

Run From page 1 participate in the fun run, with the top seller receiving a donated bicycle. “Everybody at least did one lap,” said Judkins. “Even the kindergarteners did one lap. We were surprised, but they did. They did an excellent job.” At the event, Northeastern Clinton Central School cross country team and coach David Kokes worked out with the participating

students and discussed why they like to run. “They then came and helped the kids with warm ups and actually ran with the kids,” said Judkins. “The Mooers students really seem to enjoy them there.” With the money raised, the PTP will aim to bring activities to the school, including literacy nights and square dancing. The group also provides equipment, supplies and other resources for the classrooms, which will help the students.

Also, only $13,500 of the $22,500 grant the village received was meant to be for Fete de Danse, which is the amount being spent on the stage.

Today’s hunters are out of their senses D

espite the fact that humans beings have evolved into a civilized society over the course of thousands of years; we are still considered to be the apex predators on this planet. For untold millenniums, human beings functioned through the evolutionary process in the role of ‘hunters and gatherers.’ Subsistence depended upon what could be caught or gathered from the water and the land. This process was accomplished while simultaneously avoiding being caught or eaten by the some of the very species being hunted. Until humans attained the capacity for agriculture, the survival of our species depended upon fine tuning the skills of our natural, predatory abilities. The development of agriculture was essential to the development of civilizations. Once humans learned to raise food, they rapidly lost the natural ability to hunt. In his biophilia hypothesis, Harvard University professor E.O. Wilson described this nature heritage in an effort to better understand the human need for nature. Professor Wilson theorized that despite the fact that humans no longer function as true hunter/gatherers; we remain focused on the natural world. We are attracted to green spaces and we need the outdoors. It is in our genes! I believe the best proof of Wilson’s theory is evident when a toddler first picks up a stick. Although the child may never have seen a gun or a spear before, there is often an innate response that makes the child point the stick as if it were a weapon. The same situation occurs when a little boy gets his first b-b gun. There is a certain, inexplicable draw that makes him point the gun at the first bird to fly by or the first frog to

jump. It’s a reaction that occurs across geographic, cultural and economic boundaries. Where does it come from if not a hunting instinct in our genes? Despite this ingrained hunter/gatherer heritage; man has become a civilized creature. Many of us have lost these once vital senses. Many humans no possess a natural sense of direction, a keen sense of hearing or smell. Some have purposely ‘tuned out’ these senses to block the bombardment of sensory overload that prevails in the modern world. However, through the long, evolutionary process, our senses have also atrophied from the lack of use. The keen senses that once protected humans from danger and insured our survival are no longer necessary because modern man gathers more and hunts less. Few of us use our senses strictly for hunting purposes anymore. However, the most successful hunters concentrate on utilizing their natural senses. In the natural environment, our senses are stimulated and exercised. As a result, senses become sharper and keener and we begin to hear, taste and smell better. This may even explain why food always tastes better in camp. For deer hunters, a constant awareness of scents, sounds and sights is key to success. Despite the fact that ‘scent, scent free and no-scent’ products have become a mini-industry within the hunting products industry; hunters spend little time concentrating on their own sensory awareness skills. Try a few simple exercises to illustrate the point. Shut your eyes and listen to the wind. Take a few deep breaths and smell the air to see if you can taste it. Crumple a leaf and listen closely to the sound. When one sense shuts down, others will compensate for the loss. When you can’t see, you’ll hear better; you’ll feel the wind on your cheek and smell the mustiness of autumn’s decay. In the blackness of an early morning’s watch, a hunter may hear every twig snap. But once the sun is is up, the sensory concentration focuses on what we can see rather than what we hear or smell. The most successful hunters are those that can tune-in to

the hunt. They have learned to process the scents, sights, sounds, taste and textures of the woods and to tune out the nonessential attractions. Whitetail deer utilize scents constantly. They use them for protection, for feeding and for breeding. A deer ’s nose provides it’s greatest protection. It can pick up a scent at a distance of a quarter of a mile. Successful hunters are those that possess a greater sensory awareness of themselves and their quarry.

Vermont moose season ends Vermont’s moose hunting season finished on November 1 for the 2009 season. It was the state’s 17th moose hunting season in modern times, the first occurring in 1993 when 30 permits were issued and 25 moose were taken by hunters. According to Fish and Wildlife officials a preliminary count shows that 516 moose were taken with 1,230 hunting permits issued for the 2009 season. David Godfrey of Holland, Vt shot the heaviest moose this year while hunting in Charleston on October 21. Godfrey’s 965 lb bull moose also is the second heaviest ever shot in Vermont.

Take a kid along A child is overwhelmingly more likely to hunt and fish if they have a parent who hunts and fishes. However, research reveals that only 25 percent of youths from hunting households are active hunters. “No, I’m not a good shot; but I shoot often.” Teddy Roosevelt, President of the United States, outdoorsman and Tahawus Club regular.
