CHAMPLAIN — Since 2003, David Patrick has highlighted the small town of Champlain through a calendar. This year, he narrowed his focus to the historic Dewey’s Tavern. Over the years, Patrick has expanded his calendar, beginning with a “basic calendar” with images of old photos to which he had access. “Over the next few years, I expanded the captions and also started to write an essay See CALENDAR, page 6
ELLENBURG DEPOT — When people think of getting a workout, they often find they have to go to the gym. Pamela Boulerice, a health teacher at Northeastern Adirondack Middle-High School, is showing students a new way to get fit. After attending an Eat Well Play Hard meeting through the Clinton County Health Department, Boulerice learned there was grant money available that could benefit her students. “What they wanted us to get were nonconventional physical activity stuff,” Boulerice explained. Boulerice received a $2,300 mini-

ROUSES POINT — Now that the 30-foot-wide stage has been set at the Rouses Point Civic Center, the entertainment must follow. The stage, built from remaining money from a Hudson-FultonChamplain Quadricentennial grant, will be available for all to utilize. “This is a community stage,” explained stage committee member Geri Favreau. “It’s for use by the community.” Favreau said she hopes local organizations such as the American Legion, fire department, and Scouts will want to use the stage for various purposes. “We want them to use it. That’s what it’s for. We don’t want it to sit there with nothing on it,” she added. Favreau also said the stage does not need to be used for musical entertainment only. She hopes to see children’s programs, puppet shows, jugglers, or even a comedian. “We want to do different things,” she said. This year, the Rouses PointChamplain Historical Society wrote a grant for a summer concert series, which was made possible in part with public funds from the New York State Council of the Arts De-
centralization Program, administered locally by the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts. In total, they received $935, which Favreau said will be used to bring talent to the village stage. However, more money still needs to be raised. “We still have to do a handicapped ramp,” Favreau said. “We want to do a security gate. That’s our priority right now.” Favreau hopes the security gate can be completed before winter, with the handicapped ramp to follow. Also, the committee hopes to build another smaller building for costume changes, in the future. In order to begin raising money for the other plans to completely finish the stage, a bowling tournament will be held Friday, Dec. 11, at Bowlmart in the town of Champlain. “They’re going to donate everything that they make that night,” explained Favreau. The tournament, which will begin at 7 p.m., will place single players against one another. There will also be musical entertainment by DJ Nick Molinski, from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. “You don’t have to be a bowler,” Favreau said. “Just come and have a good time. Support the stage project.”

According to their Web site, a Trikke is a “three-wheel cambering vehicle” which provides “riders of all ages and skill levels to experience a new way to propel themselves on wheels, getting a full-body workout in the process.” Currently, Boulerice is using the trikkes in her health class, and eventually the students will teach other students, including those in the elementary school, how to utilize them. “It keeps the kids interested,” Boulerice said. “It’s new and they’re discovering it is a full-body workout. It’s all up to the kid.”

Volunteer fire department continues its tradition of giving By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com WEST CHAZY — Nearly 15 years ago, all of the fire departments in the county worked to gather toys for The Christmas Bureau. Today, the numbers have dwindled, but the West Chazy Volunteer Fire Department continues on. “The firemen would have an open house at their station ... in all of the towns and they would all collect toys and they would bring them to us,” recalled Christmas Bureau coordinator Alice Heckard. “Then, a couple of the stations didn’t want to do it, couple of them didn’t have very good luck
with it ... so, it kind of went by the wayside.” However, the West Chazy fire department felt it was important to continue the tradition. “As an organization, people donate to us all the time, so it’s us giving back something,” said fire department Chief David Lucia. “We’re giving back to the community.” Heckard couldn’t be more thankful. “We always know that we’re going to have numbers,” she said of those in need. “The last couple of years, we’ve known that our numbers were going to increase considerably, and they
have of course, but also people have stepped up to the plate and the people who can give are giving either more of giving for the first time because they know there’s going to be more of a need.” “This community just rallies to the cause,” Heckard added of West Chazy. Traditionally, the fire department only collected toys and cash donations, but in recent years, they began to collect clothing for all ages as well. Everything the fire department collects during its toy drive will be given directly to The Christmas Bureau, which Heckard said will be distributed only to the people of

The toy drive will be held at the West Chazy fire department, 7656 State Route 22, next Saturday, Dec. 12. People can bring in any new, unwrapped toy, new winter clothing for all ages, and cash donations from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

New downtown store has gifts from the heart By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com ROUSES POINT — Seven years ago, Laurie Babbie began a series of knee surgeries, which today has led her to open a craft gift store. While Babbie was laid up with her first knee surgery, a friend came over to keep her company and ended up teaching Babbie how to crochet. “I got started with that and a lot of this is because of seven knee surgeries,” Babbie said. After beginning with crocheted towels, she began to create other crafts including candelabras, lamps, etched wine glasses, and floral arrangements. “I have no formal training with it,” Babbie explained. “I pretty much make what I like.” With the current economy, Babbie also felt it was necessary to make creations based on practicality. “The etched glass is practical, the blankets, the lamps. They’re more decorative, they are useful though,” she said. After years of making various crafts and selling them at craft shows, Babbie’s husband purchased the 105 Lake St. property for Babbie to open a business, Crafty Creations. In celebration of the new business, Babbie will have her grand opening this Friday, Dec. 4, and Saturday, Dec. 5, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 6, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Babbie hopes people will think of her store when shopping for Christmas presents. “The items that I have are made with love,” she said. “The original meaning for me for Christmas, it comes from love.” Thinking back many years, Babbie found historically Christmas presents were crafted by hand. “Wood was carved out to make tables and chairs and things of that nature,” she said. “My items are made with my hands. So, it’s a gift of love, versus you go into Kohl’s or you go into Walmart or TJ Maxx. It’s all manufactured overseas.” “That’s what I have to offer over the major stores,” she added. Babbie also offers other items there on consignment, including syrup from Parker Family Maple Farm and Adirondack furniture — all of which are local products. “It’s important to keep the money in the community to keep the community going,” Babbie said. “It’s my home, it’s where I live, and I want my community to thrive. So, I buy in community and hopefully others will, too.” Overall, the items offered at Crafty Creations Babbie considers to be traditional pieces she makes nontraditional. “It’s just the same, normal, everyday things, just rethought in a different way.” Crafty Creations is open Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
ROUSES POINT — The village office reminds all drivers the parking ban for all vehicles on village streets between the hours of 2-6 a.m. is in effect through Wednesday, March 31. This prohibition is necessary to permit the efficient plowing of streets and to prevent damage to any private vehicles during plowing or sanding operations. Residents are also asked to make sure cars parked in driveways do not block the sidewalks.

he use of Wi-Fi, the trade name of wireless networking, has consistently grown both at home and in business. For good reason, the convenience of wireless operation can be found in many devices ranging from printers, cameras and mp3 players to every laptop, notebook and netbook. Wi-Fi capability is showing up on almost anything that works by connecting to something else. Wi-Fi follows standards, which are instrumental to the interoperability between devices made by different vendors. The Wi-Fi standard falls under the control of the IEEE and is assigned the number 802.11. Since 2003, the 802.11 standard was held at “g” which offered decent connectivity at the time but is rather inadequate today with the newer demands for video and voice over IP. For whatever reason, the IEEE was quite slow in bringing forth, or ratifying, the next version of Wi-Fi so a number of vendors got a little impatient. When a standard is up for change the first set of changes are often referred to as drafts. So, during the process of changing the 802.11g standard to what would become 802.11n, drafts were released along the way indicating the technical changes of the upcoming standard. Many times the drafts become part of the new standard. The companies that make Wi-Fi devices understand that

I’m a registered organ donor — aren’t I?
U
Tabitha
drafts often become the standard, so instead of waiting for ratification of the 802.11n standard, they began release of 802.11n draft devices. It was a calculated risk on their part but it proved to be one that seemed to not hurt them. The IEEE finally ratified the new standard and quietly released it on a late Friday afternoon in early September of this year. Anyone waiting for the new standard to be adopted no longer has to wait, 800.11n is now official.
ntil recently, a person’s decision to be an organ donor was potentially hindered by the fact the final determination was actually left to that person’s next of kin upon his/her passing. A common assumption has been we personally decide the fate of our own organs by indicating such a wish on our driver ’s license, but that still doesn’t guarantee those wishes will be honored. However, in 2006, a new law was passed that created a New York State Donor Registry for individuals interested in donating their organs and tissue. This new registry allows individuals to be in charge of their own wishes and to consent to organ donation prior to their passing. Once you’re placed on the registry, your family will be notified of your decision to donate your organs; but, they will not be required to give consent for the procedure to be carried out. Individuals can start the registration process on-line at www.donatelifeny.org. If you’re thinking about registering as an organ donor and/or tissue donor yourself, rest assured your organs will only be considered for donation after all possible medical options have been exhausted to preserve your life. Saving your life will always be top priority for the doctors treating
you, and your medical treatment will never be compromised because you are an organ donor. Please don’t exclude yourself as a potential organ donor simply because of your age. The oldest documented organ donor in the United States was 96 years old! In fact, the usability of organs is based on the health of the organ in question, not your chronological age. If you’re interested in becoming an organ donor, then register. Ultimately, you’ll be letting the doctor decide whether you’re an appropriate candidate.

Reader mail: Can I save more with store brands?
I
t’s time again to answer reader mail from people like you who are learning to Super-Coupon: Q: “I’ve been reading your columns with great interest. Prices seem so high right now in the grocery store. If I just buy the store brand of products, won’t I save more money than using coupons on the big brands?” A: This is a common misconception among new coupon shoppers. It’s true that when you compare the shelf price of store brands with the price of name-brand products, the store brands often appear to save us more money. But with rare exceptions, we can almost always buy the name-brand products that we like and prefer — with coupons — at an even better price than the store brand. Why is this? Quite simply, there are more coupons and discounts available for name-brand products than for storebrand products. If you look at your coupon inserts from the newspaper and the wide variety of coupons available on the Internet, you’ll quickly notice there are typically no coupons for store-brand items. Large, brand-name product manufacturers work hard to encourage us to try their products. They feature their brands and products in the coupon inserts, offering shoppers significant discounts to try them. Many times, it’s also possible to find store coupons for the same products. If we stack a store and manufacturer coupon together, we’re reaching an even larger savings on the brand-name item than we could by simply purchasing the store brand at its regular low price. As with all things, there are always exceptions. If your store happens to offer coupons for its own brands, that’s a great way to save. Here’s a perfect example. Recently, my store had coupon dispensers set up in the aisle offering $1 coupons for “any [store-brand] paper product.” During this sale, storebrand rolls of paper towels, boxes of facial tissue and pack-
ages of the napkins were all on sale for $1. Now, if you’re a regular reader of my column, you know that using a $1 coupon on a $1 sale is one of my favorite ways to get things for free! Speaking of coupon dispensers, our next question this week pertains to them. Q: “I often see coupon machines on the shelves of the grocery store, but the coupons in them aren’t usually for things on sale. Is there a strategy for getting good discounts with these?” A: Absolutely! You’re right in noticing that most of the time, the coupons in the By Jill Cataldo store’s coupon dispensers don’t link up to the best sales in the store. That’s also true of the coupons we receive in the newspaper each week. Their greatest value comes when the price of the featured item takes a big dip. I regularly “shop” the coupon dispensers in my stores. If I see coupons for an item I like, I will take a few to hold onto until the sale price drops. About six weeks ago, my store’s coupon dispenser offered $2 coupons for turkey bacon. But the turkey bacon was on sale for $4.99, a relatively high price. I took a few coupons from the dispenser and held onto them for four weeks … when the price of the turkey bacon went down to $2.99. Now, I took home turkey bacon for 99 cents a package! If I had used those coupons the week I found them in the dispenser though, I would still have paid $2.99 a package — three times the price.

Parent groups bringing NYC to NCCS ‘Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing’ hits the stage next Friday By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — Last year, the book “Nate the Great” was brought to life for area kids. Now, a new tale is on its way. “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing,” a young adult novel by Judy Blume, has been around since the 1970s. With many people falling in love with the story about Peter Hatcher, a fourthgrader who has to deal with his school and home life, especially his younger brother, Fudge. With the work of the Parent Teacher Partnership at Mooers Elementary School and the Parent Support Group at Rouses Point Elementary School, children and adults alike will be able to see the beloved story come to life. On Friday, Dec. 11, at 6 p.m., the group TheatreworksUSA will be at Northeastern Clinton Central School auditorium for a performance of “Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing,” which is exciting for Nicole Favreau.
Favreau, a fourth grade teacher at MES, has been reading the book to her class every year for the last three years. “That’s the first book I read to my class at the beginning of the year,” she said. “So, when I saw this play was coming I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to tell the kids.” Favreau said her students relate easily to the book, as they are trying to juggle their home and school life as well. “It’s fun. It’s lighthearted. The little boy who is in it is in fourth grade and that’s why I like reading it first, because these kids are just coming into fourth grade,” she said. She also finds it teaches tolerance to her students, as tolerance is something the main character has to learn of his younger brother. TheatreworksUSA, a touring nonprofit theatre group, is the same group which performed Nate the Great last year. “The kids really enjoyed Nate the Great last year, so obviously we want-
ed to go with that theatre troupe again,” explained PTP president Brandi Lloyd. “I know our teachers, especially our fourth grade teachers, are very excited about it.” The PTP and PSG decided to bring a play to the area for those who may not have the opportunity to see a professional play. “For people that can’t get down to New York City to see this type of production, it brings it up here,” Lloyd explained. “We look at what [TheatreworksUSA] have and what they have available. What is good for the elementary age student. What they would be interested in.” The play is free to all children age 12 and younger. Otherwise, tickets are $3 in advance and $5 at the door. The play is open to anyone, not just students of the NCCS district. For more information, call 236-7373 or 236-4543.
Healthy soil is the key to successful gardening
N
o matter what your gardening passion — lawn, flowers, or vegetables — all types of gardening come down to one thing. And that is soil. No matter what you want to grow the one thing you need is healthy soil. To get healthy soil you need to feed your dirt, or to be more accurate you need to feed your microbes and earthworms. Science has gradually learned if we want to get our best yields from our gardens, we must recognize our soil has a vibrant but delicate ecosystem feeding off of the organic matter in the soil. Tilling disrupts this balance and can cause organic matter to be lost, nutrients to be under utilized, and mircrobe levels to be unbalanced. So, what should a home gardener who is used to tilling do? It sounds crazy, but the simple answer is to stop tilling. Wait a second. What was that? Yes, I did recommend we stop tilling. I know it sounds crazy and a clean, weed-free bed is a beautiful. But, I’d rather have a highly productive garden than a clean, weed-free bed. So, here’s how you stop tilling and have a weed-free garden bed. The first thing you have to do is manually dig out any perennial weeds, lay a 1 to 2 inch layer of compost on top of the soil, and then use a smothering mulch to help prevent any new weed seeds from germinating. Grass clippings and leaves are great smothering mulches. Every year simply add another layer of compost and continue to use mulch. The microbes in the soil will further
break down the compost and the organic mulch. The earthworms, microbes, and rain water will wash the nutrients and the organic material down to the plant’s roots. One of the most important components to no-till gardening is keeping the weeds from establishing. If you see a weed, pull it prior to the plant setting new seeds. The first year will be the hardest, but through the use of mulch, not disturbing the seed bed, and hand-pulling the number of weeds will drastically be reduced. And, with any new gardening venture one of the best rules of thumb is to start small. Begin with a small area and experiment to find your favorite methods. If it does seem strange at first, do preserve. The rewards are significant. Anne Lenox Barlow is the horticulture educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension in Clinton County.

Santa Night returns next Friday PLATTSBURGH — Santa Night will return to the city of Plattsburgh to raise money for The Christmas Bureau, a nonprofit organization which helps provide Christmas gifts for underprivileged families in Clinton County. Santa Night, which features carolers who collect pledges prior to the event, will begin at the Crazy Horse Saloon on Margaret Street, at approximately 5:30 p.m. Carolers will visit local “rooftops” such as Arnie’s Restaurant and LivinGood’s Restaurant, among others, also collecting donations as they sing. Last year, roughly 40 people joined in on the Santa Night festivities, raising more than $23,000. This year ’s fundraising goal for Santa Night is $30,000. Those interested in participating may still be able to join in at the last minute if they can provide pledges toward the event, said organizer Christopher J. Huchro.

on specific subjects,” Patrick explained. “This culminated in 2007 and 2008 when I wrote a two-part series on the founding of Champlain by Pliny Moore.” Some of the information he came across he had never been seen before, much less put together in an essay. “So, I was writing about some very relevant subject matter for Champlainers,” said Patrick. This year, however, Dewey’s Tavern became the focus for Patrick, as it is one of the most historic homes in all of Clinton County. “The house and surrounding fields lay witness to American and British armies encamped around the house over three years,” Patrick explained. “Many militia also camped here as well as half of the British Army in 1814 on their way to Plattsburgh.” The tavern was also where two of the four Prisoner of War treaties negotiated during the war were signed. “Champlain saw more military activity than any other settlement in Clinton County,” Patrick said. Compared to the two major conflicts held in Plattsburgh, Champlain was the site of daily activity over the course of three years.

“Champlainers were in perpetual fear and many left town never to return,” he said. During his research, Patrick also found many “skirmishes took place around Dewey’s Tavern on Route 276 as well as on Prospect Street.” “This is new information,” said Patrick. He also found out over the course of the last few months, not only were British soldiers buried in the Dewey family cemetery after being brought to the tavern from the Battle of Plattsburgh, but American soldiers were buried there as well. “Many American soldiers were buried here in mass graves after a siege of the stone mill in Lacolle in March of 1814,” Patrick explained. Today, the land is owned by the town of Champlain, after purchasing it from Louis and Rita Bedard, owners of the Dewey’s Tavern home. “This military burial site is the second most important military burial site in the town of Champlain, after the Revolutionary War site at Point au Fer,” said Patrick. “I
hope that the town will make the cemetery into a military memorial site as it is sacred ground.” How did Patrick come across all this historic information? “Several articles written from 1936 to the 1970s gave an overview of the history of the tavern,” he said. “But, they all seemed to recycle the same material.” Patrick included material he came across in the calendar, also adding the information he has accumulated over the years. “I wanted to make this essay on Dewey’s Tavern as comprehensive as possible,” he said. Patrick found information at Special Colllections at Feinberg Library at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, where he also came across old photographs. He also received information through the Clinton County Historical Association, and by located several Dewey relatives. The money raised from the calendar sales will benefit the Glenwood Cemetery Association.

Wellness center offers more than a typical gym By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Although it’s been around since 2002, Kymberlie Sweenor is still surprised by how many people aren’t aware of The Wellness Center at PARC. Sweenor, the general manager at The Wellness Center, said there are numerous ways in which people can benefit there. “We are definitely a unique situation,” she said. The Wellness Center, which is a part of the CVPH Medical Center, offers rehabilitation services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Some of
ing sessions in the beginning of January to prepare. “We’ll give people a little extra time to really make sure that they were comfortable and training appropriately.” Sweenor also wants those who may participate in the half marathon to realize how important cross training is — something the center could help with. “We want to offer things on appropriate stretches,” she said. “How yoga may be a beneficial form of cross training. How to utilize an elliptical trainer on a day that you just don’t want to pound on the pavement. And, also the value of strength training.” All of these aspects of cross training can be found at the center, from the various types of equipment, suitable for all ages and fitness levels, to diverse group classes, including yoga, pilates and aqua aerobics. The center will also begin their 12-week Buddy Challenge program, the first week of January. The program, which focuses on weight management, teaches people how to read nutrition labels and how to make healthy choices. “How to decide if something is healthy or not,” explained Sweenor. “The Buddy Challenge actually does nutrition, behavior modification, and exercise. So, we can address weight from all angles.” “I feel that if we only look at it one-dimensionally, we’re not going to be successful,” she added.
Varied clientele
Numerous fitness equipment is offered at The Wellness Center at PARC. Photos by Sarah L. Cronk
the services in rehab CVPH provides can be found at other sites, but according to Sweenor, offering these therapies was beneficial to their patients. “[CVPH] wanted to continue to have the entities remain together because it is appropriate for someone receiving any outpatient services, to continue on that journey of health and wellness and physical strength and conditioning to continue into a regular exercise program,” she said. Sweenor has also found it beneficial patients to remain at The Wellness Center because they are already familiar with the equipment, the staff and their surroundings. All of the trainers at the center are experienced and certified fitness professionals, said Sweenor. They are available during all hours of operation to allow clients to ask questions and give suggestions. “They’re also available if someone wanted the motivation or the extra push,” Sweenor added. “Most of the time we don’t know how hard we can push ourselves safely. So, working with a personal trainer, one on one, is really beneficial if you have really specific goals.”
Sweenor wants people to understand The Wellness Center is not the same as other local gyms, especially when it comes to the clientele. “We want to meet the needs of the people in the community that don’t feel comfortable going to a regular gym for whatever reason,” she said. “We are a gym of all shapes and sizes, all ages, all fitness levels.” From triathletes utilize the pool and treadmills for their training, to people in walkers and wheelchairs, the center sees all types of people come in on a regular basis. “I think the diversity of the clientele, they learn a lot from each other,” said Sweenor. “The people that are in a lower functioning level really can aspire, or they hear the success stories of someone.”
The center is an adult facility, for people age 16 and older — with the equipment to meet the needs of the different ages. “When we’re purchasing equipment, we’re very careful to look at the needs of our population, or our potential population,” Sweenor explained. “We really want to make sure that pretty much anyone can come in and do some kind of fitness.”
Unique classes With varied clientele comes varied types of programs needed to suit the clients. Sweenor said The Wellness Center offers a cancer rehabilitation program as well as a medical exercise program for osteoporosis prevention. “It’s geared for people in their thirties,” said Sweenor of the osteoporosis prevention program. “So that we can get women strength training aggressively enough to make a difference in their bones.” Sweenor has found women who lift weights they are comfortable lifting, may not be doing enough to stimulate bone growth. The center also athletic camps for kids, during the summer break and February and spring breaks. “Mainly to help kids stay focused in their off seasons, keep them out of trouble over break and to work on injury prevention,” said Sweenor.
Upcoming events The city of Plattsburgh will be having its first halfmarathon in April, and Sweenor is hoping people will look to the center for their training. “We wanted to really support Plattsburgh as a city ... and the wellness of the community that wants to do that,” Sweenor said. “For people that may have run before but want the camaraderie of training in a group.” Sweenor believes if people do the typical 12-16 weeks of training for the half-marathon, they could start having train-
Trained fitness professionals are available to speak with at The Wellness Center at PARC. They will help clients understand how to properly use the fitness machines.
How to contact the center For more information on the center, including how to get a membership, contact them at 324-2024. A Web site will be available in the beginning of the year. The center is also taking names of those who may be interested in training for the half marathon, and those interested in participating in the Buddy Challenge.

Trikkes From page 1 Boulerice also purchased stilts, protective gear, three Wii Fits, and a Guitar Hero with the mini-grant, receiving additional funding from the NAC District Health and Wellness Advisory council. “That’s the whole big drive right now is to do something physical that is fun,” she said.
NORTH COUNTRYMAN - 9
“The kids that normally wouldn’t want to do something physical, are doing physical things,” Boulerice added. “That’s so great.” Having used the trikkes herself, Boulerice can attest to the positive effects. “You have more energy, because it gets you going,” she said. “You have more energy after. You don’t want to quit.” Boulerice currently lets teachers sign out the trikkes and other equipment, for
use with their students. She also hopes to see coaches sign them out in the near future. “I think once the coaches realize how much activity they embody, I think they’ll start using them, too,” she said. However, when using the
Guitar Hero in her classroom, Boulerice does have one major rule for her students. “I said, ‘You cannot do it unless you’re up jumping,’” laughed Boulerice. “They jump all over and have a ball.”

Stage From page 1 Entry into the tournament is $20 per person and door prizes will be given away. But, why support the stage? According to Favreau, committee member Steve Merchant traveled to other villages that have a stage and found the response to be positive. “He went to a lot of communities and he talked to the people and every community told him that it’s a win-win situation,” Favreau said. “Good for the residents, good for the tourists. It’s good for the businesses because it brings people into the village.” For more information about the stage, including how to schedule an event, contact the village office at 297-5502. The committee will be meeting at the beginning of the year to discuss the rules for use.

CENTRAL SCHOOL
W
hen it comes to winter sports in the Northern Tier, all of the coaches at Chazy Central Rural School are hoping for winning sea-
sons. Dan Bernard, coach of the boys basketball team, said the team averaged about 40 points per game last season, and is hoping for a “more up-tempo game this year.” “Our goal is to have a winning season and steadily improve throughout the season,” he said. Players returning this year are center Shea Howley; forwards Andrew LaPierre, Frank Garrow, and Kaleb Snide; guards Brandon Laurin, and forward/center, John Tregan, and guard/forward Matt Gravelle. Half of the team are new players, including guards Ricky Osier, Andrew Duprey, Andrew Rabideau, and

For the girls hockey team, coach Ray Guay is also has high hopes. “Going to the final 4 and play for the state championship,” Guay said of the teams goal. He also hopes people will “come watch the girls play good, exciting hockey.” The entire team returns from last year, including new player defenseman Jessica Huber. The other team members are goalie Christina Emery, forwards Carissa Boire, Rebecca Duquette, Amanda Kempainen, Chelsea Guay, Bailey Waterbury, Sara Lotempelio, Astrid Kempainen, Amanda Peterson, Emily Raville, and Hannah Newgarden.

NORTHERN ADIRONDACK CENTRAL SCHOOL
A
mongst wrestling, volleyball and girls varsity basketball, many players are returning this season, which will hopefully give them an edge against other teams in the division. Wrestling coach Jared Peryea said the team is looking forward “to a strong season.” “With a strong nucleus of wrestlers returning, we look to be competitive in every tournament and dual meet,” Peryea said. Peryea feels returning champions Andrew Manor, who had 24 wins last year, and James Filion, who had 31 wins last year, will give the team good leadership. In addition to these players, other returning wrestlers this year are Justin Kellett, Kyle Patnode, Kelby Gregory, Kaleb Sample, Robert Manor, Matt Carter, Jackson Sunderland, Ethan Bombard, Tyler Nephew, Kyle Demarais, Russell Noel, Scott Bentley, Mike Riley, and Jon Schoonmaker. New players this year are Scott Kellett, Jared Trombley, Max Marte, Matt Lashway, Garrett Gero, and Artie Charette. Coach Shae Gilmore of the volleyball team is expecting a very smooth season. “We have some new players who have stepped up and proved themselves,” Gilmore said. “The returning players show leadership and experience. Together they are a well-rounded group of girls.” “I have confidence in that we will have a successful season,” she added. More than half of the girls on the team are returning players, including outside hitters Kara Perry and Chelcie Trombley, middle hitter Paige Magoon, defense specialist Amber Cayea, setters Emily Garrand and Sara Williams, and libero Bethany Drown. New players this year are middle hitters Taylor Durkin and Nicole Durnin, and outside hitters Emilee Seguin, Alison LaMountain, and Jess King. Despite not winning any games last season, new coach Jared Lambert of the girls varsity basketball team said the team is seeing a “new coach, new look, new attitude.” “Our goal this year is to be able to make the games as competitive as possible, while at the same time giving us the chance to win a few games this year,” he said. The majority of the team are returning players, including guards Michelle Silver, Christen Normandin, and Abigail Spinner, forwards Katie Hemingway and Keisten Abel, and centers Mary Manor and Ashley King. New players this year include guard Brandi Trombley, and forwards Shelbe LaDuke and Jesslin Golovach. Editor’s Note: The Winter Sports Preview is based on the information provided by the coaches. The North Countryman was unable to get information from the boys varsity basketball team and cheerleading.

NORTHEASTERN CLINTON CENTRAL SCHOOL
T
he 2009-10 winter season sports at Northeastern Clinton Central School will be a competitive year for all players. Volleyball coach Brent Banker has a good mix of returning players with new players and he’s already seeing a lot of talent. “I think we will be very competitive in all our matches,” Banker said. Only five members of last year ’s team are returning members. They are outside hitters Ashley Goyette and Ayisha Loya, setter Alyssa Rabideau, who was last year ’s assists leader and who, along with Loya, were the top two servers on the team. Also returning are middle blocker Kristen Langr and opposite hitter Elena Sanchez-Freeman. New players this year are outside hitters Ashley Lamberton and Anna Sarbou, setter Megan Richards, middle blockers Colleen Ryan, Victoria Duprey, and Mallory Honan, opposite hitter Kelly Rogers, and libero Vada Loya. The girls varsity basketball team is also a young team, with only four girls returning from last year. This season should be very different from previous years, with a new coach David Lambert, taking over for Andy Landry. “The coaching staff had 14 outstanding years and will be truly missed,” Lambert said. With such a young team, Lambert also feels, “We need our underclassmen to step up quickly.”
Overall, he feels “our team speed should be our strength. How quickly we learn to play together will determine our success.” Returning players this year are forward Cari Dominic, center Mara Faivaie, and guards Katrina Garrand and Chelsey Brooks. The new members of the team are forwards Mary Elizabeth Franke, Rachelle Barcomb, and Megan Boumil, and guards Paige Southwick, Jess Ashline, Bianca Grimshaw, Justine Rabideau, and Courtney Bond. In boys varsity basketball, many players are returning from a very successful season, with a CVAC record of 16-0 and overall record of 23-1. “[We] lost the CVAC Most Valuable Player, Matt Farbotko, to graduation,” said coach Robb Garrand. “The league will be extremely tough with a lot of new talented players on each squad.” Already Garrand has found the team to be working very hard and working on “establishing a starting lineup.” Returning players are forwards Connor Chapman, Casey Manor, Richie Collins, and Steve Carder, and guards Randy Grimshaw, Fred Hapgood, and Jamie Davison. New players this year are Nathan LaFave, Logan Miller, Rob Armstrong, and Tom Bedard — all guards. In bowling, coach Rick Dumas said the girls have “a great attitude and enthusiasm for the sport.” “They are very interested in improving their skills
and supporting their teammates.” For the returning players, Dumas expects Aleigha McGoldrick and Stepfanie Bechard to be on top, “with Katie Hawksby and Sara Adams not very far behind.” Other players on the team this season are Janelle Menard, Devin Gosselin and Katie Trombley. For the boys, returning players Cory Manor, James Lapierre, Aaron Mesec, Joey Robert and Josh Frenyea will be valuable in the success of the newcomers. Despite being a rather young team, Dumas has found “All the kids have a great attitude and enthusiasm for the sport.” One of the weaknesses Dumas expects to face are that only five boys on the team have participated in CVAC action in the past. “Returning bowlers will be ultra important in forming this team’s identity,” he said. Other members on the team this year are Landon Gosselin, Kyle Seubert, Eric Dupee, Chris Kokes and Kevin Sterling. Varsity cheerleading is another sport at NCCS, led by coach Sarah Hunter. Members of the team this year are Morgin Baker, Malinda Bechard, Chelsea Brown, Jackie Fales, Jenna Hansen, Jenna McMillan, Kelly Pavilaitis, Chelsea Cayea, Kaylan Short, Chelsea Blouin, Katrina Bordeau, Katelyn Brothers, Sarena Foster, Kelsey LaFontaine, Chelsey Van Der Munnik, Amanda Harvey, Katie LaVenture, and Amber Wallace.

Bagging a big buck
After reading my last column about a local man who was attacked by a 10-point-buck, Brian Warrington called to tell me about his own close encounter. As this picture shows, however, the outcome was a little different in his case.
Bill Gereau, cousin of Denton Publications managing editor and outdoors columnist John Gereau, shot this big 8-pointer with his crew in Minerva Nov. 6. The buck weighed 152 pounds — his largest to date.
Hunter’s close encounter of the four-legged kind F
ew hunters I’ve spoken with can believe the sequence of events that played out a few weeks ago when a North Country man was attacked by a 10-point buck near his remote home outside Malone. Minerva resident Brian Warrington, however, no longer falls into that category. That’s because it nearly happened to him, too. The outcome, however, was a shade different. “I read your column last week and couldn’t believe a deer would act like that,” Warrington told me, referring to my last column in which I described how Gerald Dabiew wrestled with a mature buck for nearly 20 minutes as it pounded him into the ground. “Well, I believe it now.” Warrington said his own harrowing encounter began as he and his wife, Patty, started up into the woods to begin a drive. Barely off the blacktop, the duo jumped two deer, one of which was a slammer buck. “So, I pulled out an estrus bleat, and bleated three times,” Warrington said. Before he could put the call away, the deer appeared, stomped at the ground, lowered
its antlers and charged. “My wife and I have been hunting together for 30 years,” Brian said. “I’ve seen a lot of unusual things in the woods, but nothing like this.” Brian said Patty lunged for safety behind a tree as the 180pound buck closed to within 30 feet and fired at the deer, missing it. The shot brought the animal to a stop, however, and Brian dropped it in its tracks. “Obviously, the deer came to the bleat call, but this deer was so aggressive, it was grunting and growling and coming straight for us,” Brain said. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said. Patty agreed. “It’s pretty scary when it happens to you,” she said, adding she will never doubt the effectiveness of a call again, or how a rutting buck might respond. “I’m a believer now,” she said, echoing her husband’s earlier sentiment.
