Senior helping seniors at Mooers Senior Housing Fashion show will help finance elevator repairs

Free salt and sand unethical, say county officials PAGE 3 BOYS HOCKEY

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com MOOERS Ñ Senior citizens having to lug their groceries to their second or third floor apartments; that’s been the reality at Watson Memorial Senior Housing in Mooers since their elevator broke down five years ago.

Officials at the not for profit facility have been trying to raise money to fix the elevator for many years, and now they’re getting help from an unlikely source, a high school senior from North East Clinton Central School.

Courtney Lamberton is helping to organize a fashion show March 14 at the Mooers Fire Station to benefit their fund drive.

The event is being co-hosted by Lena Birch, of BirchÕ s Corner in Mooers, and Tracy Graves of All Things Diva in Rouses Point.

Birch and Graves are donating new outfits and accessories, which will be auctioned at the show. Ò I have two great aunts who live there, so I thought, Ô What Roxanne Downs, Courtney Lamberton and Steve Sample at the Watson Memorial Senior Housing in Mooers.

‘Biggest Losers’ win big when it comes to weight, health

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The term Biggest Loser brings about a host of mental images: sweat, tears and exhaustion.

But for competitors who take part in the weight loss challenge, it can be nothing short of a new lease on life.

The eight week Biggest Loser classes are going on in gyms all around the country at any given time, including a class currently going on at the Powerhouse Gym in Plattsburgh.

“They’re all striving for the same goals,” said certified personal trainer and Ò Biggest Loser ProÓ Michelle Moser, co-owner of Powerhouse. “There are health issues; lack of confidence, being overweight and being in pain. Some just want to be able to get down on the floor and play with their grand kids.”

The class meets three evenings a week. It is broken into two teams, and one day a week is weigh-in day, where in front of the whole class you have to acknowledge how successful youÕ ve been that week.

After that, Moser trains the class of 17 on how to use various gym equipment, how to eat better and more efficiently and, most of all, how to individualize an eating program for each person. Ò The most important thing is the education, and ninety percent of it is diet,Ó she said.

For Nancy Reome Price, itÕ s her second time through Biggest Loser after winning the competition in a previous season at a different Plattsburgh gym. Even though she has kept the weight off from that season, she wanted to go through the program again to challenge herself and learn more. Ò IÕ m not afraid of the weights now, with education of course.

It just gives you a lot of confidence when you know what you’re doing.Ó Peering around the Powerhouse weight room, populated in large part by twenty-something body builders, the 56 year old says sheÕ s comfortable now walking up to any machine, putting on some weight and getting started. She’s also confident when it comes to the dinner table.

“The main thing is the confidence in knowing how to eat cor-

Puck to drop on Border Bash

The 3rd Annual Border Bash Hockey Tournament will be held on Feb. 28th and Mar. 1st at the Rouses Point Civic Center in Rouses Point, NY. There will be 8 teams from the United States and Canada playing to win the Border Bash tournament.

Games will start at 9 am with the last game played at 8 pm on Saturday. There will be 4 games on Sunday starting at 9 am with the Championship game being played at noon.

rectly; the meats, the veggies, greens. There’s hardly any calories in any of the greens.Ó Reome Price says that her husband is dieting with her at home and has lost 40 pounds so far.

For some though, Biggest Loser is a family affair. Husband and wife competitors Denise and Dennis Kaufman are nearly midway though the competition and are helping to motivate each other. Ò WeÕ ve kind of had a little competition between the two of us.

We did it together as a motivation,Ó said Denise. Ò ItÕ s not easy,Ó said Dennis. Ò I feel 100 percent better just in the three weeks so far. WeÕ re going to do this well after this is over. I think itÕ s going to help me and we will continue it.Ó

This is a community event and we encourage everyone to come out and watch some good competitive hockey. There will also be raffle items such as a signed hockey puck from Torey Krug of the Boston Bruins with a letter of authenticity, 2 Olympic jerseys (Pacioretty - USA and Subban - Canada), a signed hockey stick, and many other baskets from local establishments to include gift certificates, scratch tickets, and games.

We hope to see the community come cheer

To Moser, that’s the essence of Biggest Loser; a life-long change peopleÕ s in attitudes toward weight loss and health. Ò I create behavior change. If you donÕ t change a personÕ s behavior theyÕ ll never lose weight, or theyÕ ll just gain it back,Ó she said.

Along with the winter class, Moser typically runs a class in the summer and another in the fall. The Ò winnerÓ of Biggest Loser, the person who loses the greatest percentage of weight in the eight weeks, win a full year membership at Powerhouse, with second place winning a six month membership and third place a three month membership.

Moser can be contacted at Powerhouse for more information on upcoming classes.

Complimentary sand-salt mix nixed by board

Officials: Unethical, unconstitutional for town to divvy out free sand-salt mixture to residents

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com JAY Ñ This winter, Jay residents have been singing a familiar refrain: Sandman, IÕ m so alone DonÕ t have nobody to call my own Please turn on your magic beam Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream But it was not to be, their dreams snuffed out at a town board meeting last week when town attorney Daniel Manning and Supervisor Randall Douglas explained why they had to put the kibosh on providing a complimentary sand-salt mixture to town residents.

According to the Associations of Towns of the State of New York, providing individual residences and businesses with sand or salt for their own personal use at any time other than a declared state of emergency is unconstitutional.

Since salt and sand is town property funded by taxpayers, providing the item to private interests would be unconstitutional because the town would not benefit from doing so.

In addition, the state constitution prohibits towns from making gifts or towns of money or property to, or in aid of, any private individual or corporation.

Over the years, each highway superintendent had different rules and regulations regarding how to disseminate the townÕ s excess salt-sand mixture used for deicing.

The idea was that the general public would pick up the mixture in five gallon buckets and use it sparingly at their residences throughout the winter.

Jay Town Attorney Daniel Manning explains the legalities of giving town residents access to taxpayer-funded sand-salt to resident Bob Segall at a town board meeting on Thursday, Feb. 12. The Association of Towns of the State of New York has determined that the practice is unconstitutional.

But others started entering the complex on Valley Road with trucks, picking up sand that they would later use for private business pursuits.

The issue came to a head earlier this month after a number of letters from local residents were published in a local newsletter, the Jay Community News.

And then, fueled by social media, phones at the town hall started to ring. Ò NO BRAINERÓ Douglas, surrounded by piles of legal paperwork, said while he sincerely regretted the town could no longer provide the service, doing so would constitute a form of electioneering.

Manning said from a legal standpoint, thereÕ s little daylight between offering residents small amounts of the mixture and using town equipment to plow constituent driveways. Ò When Randy asked me to research this, it was a no-brainer,Ó he said.

Ò The part that bothers me is we took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution of New York and the United States,Ó said Douglas. Ò IÕ m not willing to break that law to provide sand.Ó Douglas said he remained emphatic to the needs of his constituents: “It’s a very difficult thing to explain when people pay their taxes Ñ when they pay for all equipment, all supplies and that they realize theyÕ re paying for it Ñ itÕ s a hard time determining why they canÕ t use something they paid for to begin with.Ó Last year, the town spent $140,000 on the saltsand mixture.

Each $17,000 budgeted is one percent on the tax levy, noted Douglas, which means eight percent of last yearÕ s entire levy went towards the mixture.

Regulations are loosened during states of emergency, he noted, like last winterÕ s ice storm.

But the conditions for declar-

ing a state of emergency are very tight, said the supervisor, citing the daylong ethics refresher course heÕ d taken the week before.

Another exception is illness: Ò If you have imminency, itÕ s legal,Ó added Manning.

Residents floated a series of alternatives: Could town residents purchase sand-salt as a part of a co-op and store it on town property?

Unlikely, said Manning, citing insurance liability issues. But he said heÕ d look into it.

Could the town buy it and give to residents as a gift?

Nope. It might be construed as a form of electioneering. Ò I donÕ t believe thereÕ s any law that directly addresses that,Ó said Manning. Ò But I wouldnÕ t advise it. You’re better off finding a resident and letting you dump it on their property.Ó Another asked about stockpiling spoiled sand for community usage: But how to determine spoilage?

It becomes a nightmare, admitted Douglas.

The super encouraged residents to write to their state and federal representatives to lobby for changes in state law. Ò I need our people to help us,Ó he said. Ò We need to stress this is a hardship on our people.Ó Manning praised the town board and Douglas for their accomplishments Ñ including the planning and execution of broadband, sewer plan and FEMA projects — that would benefit constituents for decades. Ò These are good things,Ó he said. Ò [Douglas] drives me nuts because you can tell how thorough he is.Ó Local resident Bob Segall said he was pleased with how the meeting turned out: “I went in expecting a fight,” he wrote in the Jay Community News. Ò I came out feeling I had made friends. I was not alone in these expectations or in the end result.Ó

Miracle on Ice team to reunite in 35th anniversary event LAKE PLACID Ñ The gold medal winning 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team, who achieved what Sports Illustrated proclaimed Ò the greatest sports moment of the 20th centuryÓ with their Ò Miracle on IceÓ victory over the Soviet Union, will participate in a special event using video, audio and photos to relive the game, through their perspective, in Lake Placid this weekend.

Study: SUNY Plattsburgh ranked seventh for drug arrests

By Melanie Rivera

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Out of 50 colleges in a study done by Project Know, Plattsburgh State has been ranked seventh for on-campus drug arrests in 2013.

Project Know is an online-resource that informs the public on drug addiction, alcohol abuse and substance abuse recovery.

Project Know based their findings on OPE’s 2013 college crime database. The list of on-campus drug arrests only includes colleges with at least 5,000 enrolled students.

Eight SUNY schools, including Plattsburgh, made the list.

Keeping in mind that in the state of New York, SUNY schools have their own police departments. Ò ItÕ s not the same having your own police department thatÕ s actually there,Ó said Arlene Sabo, University Chief of Police. Ò We focus on small things.Ó According to SUNY Plattsburgh 2014 Annual Security Report Campus Crime and Fire Statistics, the total number of on-campus drug arrests in 2013 was 57. It has been increasing since 2011 when there were only 22. The number of drug violations arrests in student residence halls was 20 in 2013

Elevator

From page 1 could I do to help raise money for this?Õ Ó said Lamberton.

As a member of National Honor Society, Lamberton has to do a service project her senior year. She helped organize a fashion show last year to benefit the junior prom, and thought she would use her experience to help the Mooers Senior Housing. Ò Along with the auction, weÕ re going to have a regular fashion show so people can look at some of the new fashions,Ó she said.

“Plus we’re doing a 50/50 raffle, which we’re starting now, and

Ò I think our drug use and alcohol use is consistent,Ó said Sabo. Ò WeÕ re doing something about it. WeÕ re enforcing the law.Ó Recently, heroin has been on the rise in the North Country.

In mid-December, 36 suspected drug dealers were arrested and faced charges related to heroin sales.

According to New York State Division of Criminal Justice Service, in Clinton County there were 145 adult drug arrests in 2014.

The drug arrest rate has been steadily increasing since 2005 with 46 arrests, then 2011 with 120 arrests.

In Project KnowÕ s 2012 study, SUNY Plattsburgh was ranked 81 for on-campus drug arrests.

University Police has experienced an inconsistency in staff numbers in recent years. Sabo said in 2012 they were down in officers, in 2013 they were full staff and in 2014 their numbers went down again.

Alcohol and Other Drug Coordinator Patrick Monette has had his position for a year, but stated that sometime before he assumed his role the position was open for about a year.

The Alcohol and Other Drug Coordinator position consists of two components: conduct substance abuse evaluations on a student when there is a substance abuse charge and to carry out outreach and prevention on campus. Ò True therapy and true treatment I think is prevention. ItÕ s

how to avoid problems and how to avoid making unhealthy decisions,Ó said Monette.

Monette hopes to get the word out that he is here and is a resource to students who may be struggling with alcohol or substance abuse. This semester he is training students to become Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Peer Educators.

The AOD training is where students learn how to Ò intervene,Ó how to assist people and learn how to do programs. Ò Peers listen to peers more than they listen to someone who is more of an authoritative figure … because they feel safe,” said Monette.

Also, Monette has big plans for the future. He is trying to spread out to fraternity and sorority life, athletics, international students and many other departments. Ò [WeÕ re] trying to get more support out there,Ó said Monette.

He explains he wants to do more events, panel discussions and perhaps tabling with different organizations.

Currently, Monette is working on having a speaker come in April to talk about athletics and substance abuse. There will be a free alcohol screening day in April. Ò ItÕ s all about planting the seeds and getting the conversation going,Ó said Monette. Ò ItÕ s about saying how to have fun by not putting yourself or someone else in danger.

there will be refreshments and music from Sound Obsession.Ó Steve Sample, president of the Board at Mooers Senior Housing, is hoping that the fashion show will raise enough money to bring the lengthy project finally to a close. He thinks with a functioning elevator the facility will be an even more attractive place for seniors in Mooers. Ò This is a positive. WeÕ re always looking for exposure. WeÕ re kind of a diamond in the rough. We offer affordable housing to seniors in the Mooers area. Ò Miss Lamberton was cordial enough to offer to help us. ItÕ s nice to see people in the community offer their efforts like this.Ó

Lamberton is hoping to raise about $1,000 for the elevator fund. Tickets are $5 in advance or $7 at the door for the 7 p.m. show at the Mooers Fire Station. Admission for seniors at Mooers Senior Housing is free, and Lamberton says that she can arrange transportation for them via her grandfather if needed. Ò IÕ m very proud of her,Ó said LambertonÕ s mother Roxanne Downs. Ò ItÕ s a very big undertaking, and sheÕ s doing very well.Ó People interested in buying tickets in advance, or chances for the 50/50 raffle, can contact Lamberton at 298-8030 prior to the event.

North Country needs to think regionally with event planning

Y

where in between.

And how about motorcycles?

They’re essentially our official bird during the summertime season, the rumble of the engines mingling with the sweet sounds of French.

LetÕ s start thinking about an event that brings these folks here before they fan back out again.

Fort Ticonderoga brings visitors all summer long.

Coordinated events along Route 9 in small communities could make for great day trips by bike, motorcycle, car or in some cases, even boat, for those history buffs.

How about gastro-tourism?

The North Country is speckled with islands of farm-to-table creativity, mostly farmerÕ s markets.

Why not hold regular events throughout the summer and into harvest season designed to draw folks from across the region?

Perhaps TasteNY, the state initiative designed to brand and promote domestic products, could be given a permanent presence at the Essex County Fairgrounds.

From wines to meat, cheese, dairy, maple and produce, the North Country has it all … and we should use it as a magnet.

Doing so would also help propel the burgeoning craft beer, wine and spirits industry within the state.

And since New York is really pushing for the growth of this industry Ñ just last week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo outlined a tax exemption proposal that his office said would aim to fuel additional growth in the skyrocketing industry Ñ we should really try to capitalize on it.

Obviously, several roadblocks would need to be circumvented for these ideas to come to fruition.

Officials widely agree that the creation of lodging infrastructure across the region is necessary to sustain large-scale events and is crucial for future development.

Another is finding champions to keep these projects on the public radar and exploring ways to give them flight and ensuring future sustainability.

But with the great work that our local officials are spearheading through number of agencies that cross municipal lines, the ingredients are there … so let’s get moving. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

North Countryman Editorial

ou canÕ t beat Adirondack life during the summer Ñ After melting season, and once the black flies bloom and burst, municipalities start to rock and roll with a series of monster-sized events that places the North Country on the national radar.

Among the most dominant in Essex County are the Wilmington/Whiteface 100K and IRONMAN Lake Placid, bashes that flood the region with cash and publicity, while Warren County rumbles with Americade and the WorldÕ s Largest Garage Sale.

In the north, bass fishing reigns supreme.

But when it comes to the Central Champlain Valley, the razzle dazzle fades in the rearview and a more subdued palette comes into focus Ñ That of the sleepy summertime retreat.

What can the region do to draw in visitors from the west, north and south?

The North Country survives as a collective unit and we need to think regionally while trying to develop sustainable tourism.

While the Central Champlain Valley may lack a line-up of established all-star events, it could play an important role as a supporting actor.

Why not use the Essex County Fairgrounds as a staging area for some satellite events?

Perhaps the county-owned facility can be used to host smaller events prior before and after regional bashes designed to encourage visitors to enjoy our beautiful lifestyle for a just a little bit longer.

It’s a magnificent, under-utilized facility located right off the Northway.

Most of the year, it just sits there.

But it shouldnÕ t.

These events could be cross-promoted with the marquee draws.

How about some more huge athletic events that take visitors across the region?

Why do the central and southern Adirondacks get to have all the fun? (Just kidding, but itÕ s often easy to grow green with envy).

From the athletic summertime competitions to the spate of winter carnivals last weekend Ñ including those in Saranac Lake, Raquette Lake and the ongoing festivities in Lake George Ñ we canÕ t help but feel as though somehow these can all be tied together.

WeÕ re thinking long-distance biking, snowshoeing and backcountry skiing events.

WeÕ re thinking an expansion of the Empire State Winter Games that sees events speckled from Plattsburgh to Lake George Ñ and every-

Smoking a chronic condition, not fodder for scorn

North Countryman • February 21, 2015 | 7

www.northcountryman.com

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor, Ò I hate people who smoke.Ó ThatÕ s what my son said the other day as we drove by a group of smokers huddled together on the sidewalk outside one of our local businesses. The comment made me sad. I used to smoke a long time ago. I told him that. He thought for a minute and asked critically, Ò Why did you smoke, Mom? ThatÕ s just gross!Ó I told him, Ò for the same reason those people do … it’s really hard to quit.”

New York StateÕ s Tobacco Control Program (TCP) is one of the most effective in the nation.

Between the years 2003 Ð 2011, the number of adults smoking in New York State was reduced by 13 percent. To achieve this reduction, the TCP implemented the Clean Indoor Air law, increased the tobacco tax to keep the tobacco prices high, enforced laws that restrict youth access to tobacco, and made effective smoking cessation support easily available. What all of these activities have done is to create an environment that makes it more difficult for people to smoke.

But NOT smoking still isnÕ t easy. Trust me. I know.

I just joined the North Country Healthy Heart Network as Project Coordinator for a new Tobacco Control Program Ð one that aims to provide smokers with even more support for quitting. What the TCP is doing all over the state is working with doctor’s offices, hospitals and mental health organizations to make sure that providers talk to every tobacco user (current or recently quit) about their chronic condition Ð Tobacco Use Disorder Ð and how to control it.

ThatÕ s right!

Smokers actually have a chronic condition. Tobacco Use Disorder is an official diagnosis, and research says it should be treated like any other chronic illness. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in its 2008 Clinical Practice Guideline for Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence, if Tobacco Use Disorder is treated just like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol, people who are dependent on tobacco are much more likely to successfully control their condition (by quitting for good). But that means they need the support of their health care provider.

We wouldnÕ t condemn someone with high blood pressure or diabetes, right? Why, then, would we condemn someone with Tobacco Use Disorder? Instead, letÕ s understand that smokers are struggling with a chronic condition and encourage them to talk to their doctors or other healthcare professionals about it so they can get the help they need to quit for good.

Ann Morgan, Project Coordinator North Country Healthy Heart Network

Court actions are a major part of American democracy To the Editor: In their recent Letter to the Editor (Jan. 22, 2015, Ò A History of LitigationÓ ) Philadelphia developer Michael Foxman and his partner Thomas Lawson, representatives of Adirondack Club & Resort (ACR) in Tupper Lake, impugned the Ò high motivesÓ of Protect the Adirondacks in bringing a lawsuit against the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) for permitting this massive 6,000-acre development.

Since PROTECT Ò could never have had a reasonable expectation of winning in court,Ó they argue, it is Ò clear that they simply wanted to . . . prevent economic opportunity for residents of the Adirondack Park.Ó This, of course, is nonsense.

The developers are spinning their own tale, which is flawed in four important ways.

First, PROTECTÕ s lawsuit had nothing to do with either thwarting or encouraging Ò economic opportunityÓ in the Adirondacks. ThatÕ s not our job. There are hundreds of very capable local government officials and experienced personnel from chambers of commerce, state authorities, state agencies, and non-profits that work hard on the economic development of Adirondack communities.

Second, what we tried to do was to make the state follow its own laws and protect natural resources, specifically intact forestlands.

Unfortunately, the APA has abandoned its legislative mandate to protect open space in the Adirondack Park.

Despite prolonged negotiations seeking compromise, the developers never budged in their subdivision plans. They pushed through a design to scatter 80 houses, including 35 so-called Ò great camps,Ó across 4,800 acres of Resource Management lands, which are supposed to be the most strongly regulated private lands in the Adirondack Park. Under pressure to promote economic growth, the APA cut corners, gave the developers what they wanted, and approved this poorly designed project. No attempt was made to design a clustered subdivision as had been used in other APA permits.

PROTECT would never have taken on the expense of litigation in the first place were it not for the ruinous precedent established by this poorly planned development. Following the precedent of other lawsuits against the APA in the last ten years, PROTECT brought suit because we believed there was a Ò reasonable expectationÓ that Resource Management lands would be protected, and a terrible precedent would be overturned.

Unfortunately, the courts decided that the APA has the authority to freely interpret key protective statutes as mere Ò guidelinesÓ and let this terrible precedent stand.

Third, our lawsuit was an attempt to overturn this ruinous precedent for the development of Resource Management lands because we believed it would be repeated widely. More than half million acres hang in the balance throughout the Adirondacks. PROTECTÕ s litigation was aimed at stopping more permanent losses of biological integrity through the fragmentation of intact forest lands.

The costs of this poor precedent will be high for the ecological health of the Adirondack Park. Indeed, the ACR precedent is a fowl quickly come home to roost: at its January meeting, the APA approved an 1,100-acre development in Resource Management lands around Woodworth Lake in the southern Adirondacks. It follows a pattern similar to ACRÕ s Ò great campsÓ and will promote forest fragmentation through backcountry sprawl.

In justifying this decision, the APA referred to the ACR controversy by emphasizing its rationalizing rhetoric: that the APA Act provided mere Ò guidelinesÓ for the agency to administer. It should also be noted that all Adirondack environmental organizations roundly denounced the APAÕ s approvals of the Woodworth Lake subdivision.

Fourth, the developers Foxman and Lawson descend to anti-democratic terrain when they argue that Ò special interestÓ organizations like Protect the Adirondacks should not be granted legal standing to litigate in the first place and at least should be required to pay special penalties when courts rule against them. This ignores centuries of American legal history. The courts are an essential part of the democratic process; American civil society has been shaped by lawsuits and court decisions. For private individuals and organizations to file and appeal lawsuits in open courts is as much an act of participatory democracy as voting.

The APA has been sued scores of times, mostly by aggrieved developers. Adirondack local governments and other environmental groups have also sued the APA. Are Messrs. Foxman and Lawson looking to punish fellow developers and area local governments for going to court or just looking to single out and punish Protect the Adirondacks?

The ACR project still faces regulatory hurdles that it will have to satisfy in the months and years ahead. The developers have not yet secured final permits from the APA, the Department of Environmental Conservation, or US Army Corp of Engineers, nor have they obtained necessary approvals from the NYS Attorney General.

They cannot legally sell any lots. Foxman and Lawson are also pursuing financing from the Franklin County Industrial Development Agency, among other state grants, but no financing has been finalized. The future of this project is uncertain in todayÕ s marketplace. A 200-unit high-end development in North Creek approved five years ago has built all of two houses despite close to $10 million in public assistance through the state extending new trails and ski lifts from the Gore Mountain Ski Area to the developer Õ s doorstep.

One final question worth asking, however, is this: now that court decisions have removed impediments to their scheme, what purpose is served by fomenting continued resentment in the community?

Peter Bauer Executive Director, Protect the Adirondacks

CVPH donors make everything possible To the Editor, Because of our donors, the Foundation of Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital builds a healthier North Country by supporting health and wellness programs both within the hospital as well as throughout our local community.

It is the support of hospital staff and the community who make these programs all possible.

I feel fortunate to live in a community that understands the importance of good health.

Our 2014 Annual Campaign has set a new record, raising $257,000 for foundation programs.

Total giving, including memorial donations, event support, special and planned gifts reached over $800,000.

Some of the ways these dollars impact our region are: •

Fund programs that improve the health of our community such as the Ticonderoga Backpack Project to feed hungry children, a new summer camp for kids at the Ted K. Center and sponsoring An Evening of Healing to help people through traumatic times;

•

Provide program and equipment support to enhance patient care at the hospital;

•

Funding to begin development of the Champlain Valley Family Medicine Residency;

•

Assist 80+ families with travel expenses for specialized care out of the area;

•

Educate healthcare professionals to enhance patient care;

•

Award health care scholarships to 12 high school seniors in Clinton & Essex Counties.

This year we had over 50 campaign volunteers who actively solicited their friends and neighbors in support of The Foundation.

Their commitment and each donorÕ s gift have been critical to the success of our campaign and our programs. It is because of your generous support that we can sponsor so many vital health and wellness programs.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Foundation of CVPH in 2014.

You are helping people, funding programs, enhancing care and touching lives.

New doors opening

S

even, eight, open the gate.Ó Did that conjure up any memories of your childhood? How about, Ò one, two, buckle my shoe?Ó I suppose you could stuff that in a category called Nursery Rhymes.

ItÕ s one of those things you learn very early and never forget.

You might have skipped rope, played hop scotch, or just have jumping jacks while intoning some such rhyme at one time or another.

By the time you got to the Ò seven,

by Gordie Little eightÓ part, though, you probably chanted Ò lay them straight,Ó as in what to do with the Ò five, six, pick up sticks.Ó I used a little literary license to adjust the rhyme to my current situation. My life has been a long series of doors closing and others opening. To me, itÕ s like turning the pages of a book. My mantra has always been, Ò Next chapter.Ó Those who know me, are very much aware of my philosophy.

I was asked not to return to the first college I attended during what I look back on as Ò my formativeÓ years. Same thing happened with the second college. But, as they say, things happen in threes. By the time I finished four great years at what is now called Stony Brook University on Long Island, I was at Ò three, four, open the door.Ó I enjoyed a 36-year radio career in Plattsburgh before that door closed when I turned 60. The next threshold led to an eight-year stint as a Crime VictimÕ s Advocate from which I retired to move into serious writing.

A newspaper column, magazine articles, ghost stories and childrenÕ s book, along with a weekly television show. My plate was full and I ate everything on itÑ literally and figuratively.

In the middle of it all, a first marriage ended with two wonderful sons and I met Kaye, the absolute love of my life. We embraced each other in many ways including the blending of my sons with her eleven (count Ô em) children. Call it a Baker Õ s dozen, if you like, because that was her name at the time. WeÕ ll celebrate our 41st anniversary on May 4. And they said it wouldnÕ t last.

Another door closed when our oldest son and his wife were killed in a horrific crash back in 1988. Two days later we lost a cherished eight-year-old grandson in another accident. Not only did new doors open, but the giant heart that is the North Country, opened up and showered us with love that we could never have imagined.

Our children and grandchildren have been prolific, if I might use that word to describe them. At last count, we had 37 great grandchildren. WhatÕ s not to love about that? They are spread hither and thither, but we see them and visit as often as we can.

Thank God for every one.

Kaye and I have made many friends and we do our best to communicate with them by any means available. Social networking has been a real boon along with other media. The coffee is good at our Little house on the Saranac River in Morrisonville and the door is always open for visitation.

Nature speaks to us every day, as we watch wildlife on the river banks and revel in the sight of every deer, every turkey, every mink, every goose and duck and yes, even the occasional groundhog, skunk and raccoon. When a bald eagle or osprey chooses a nearby roost, we are thrilled.

When myriad other birds stop for a snack at our feeders, we ooh and ah like we never saw them before. When the delicate rubythroated hummingbirds arrive for the season, we are in ecstasy. Ò Keep it simpleÓ is our motto. Ò Live and loveÓ is our credo. With this, the first Ò Little BitsÓ offering, I hope I have stepped carefully into your soul and that you will make a permanent place for me there. If you have comments or suggestions, I welcome them via e-mail, Facebook, telephone or in the grocery store.

I love what I see through this new door at Denton Publications and IÕ ll try hard to live up to their terrific reputation. Ò Eleven, twelve, dig and delve.Ó IÕ ll do that for all of you as long as IÕ m able.

olanda is one of many cats that were waiting for their forever homes at Adirondack Humane Society when its doors closed in October of last year.

According to her records she entered AHS on 01/07/13. She had a cyst on her head and was suffering from an eye infection when we found her running at large in the Ò sun roomÓ She was skittish and didnÕ t really want to be held or handled.

AHS staff told us that she has always been a bit temperamental but that she could be very sweet. We removed the benign cyst on her head and assessed her mouth while treating her eye infection. When she recovered she received a full dental with several extractions. After her dental procedures she started to groom herself again and seemed to be out of pain. She became much less temperamental and she started to engage with other cats and people.

Her eyes have cleared up and she is ready to meet her new family. DonÕ t get me wrong...she is still and independent cat, but now she is a loving independent cat. Yolanda is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for FeLV/FIV and is spayed. She is

Sassy is the mom of Cappucino (who found her forever home) and Espresso (who is still looking for her forever home). Sassy is an outgoing and engaging young mom that will do well in most homes.

Into the wild

I

suppose it’s one of the most common afflictions of age, and it likely explains our unrelenting desire to return to familiar, natural surroundings. When we are in such surroundings we experience a comfortable degree of familiarity, which explains why we gravitate there in the first place.

As children, we had our own special places, where we could find comfort, and nobody could find us.

It may have been in the hollow of an old tree, a popular swimming hole, or at the base of a soaring cliff.

Wherever it could be found, the location likely provided an escape from the regular din of being a responsible kid, and a place to hide out when Dad got the belt out.

Often, the term Ô responsibleÕ just didnÕ t mesh very well with the concept of being a kid. It often seemed responsible behavior was at the opposite end of the spectrum when considering natural creativity and curiosities which included items such as slingshots, apple-flingers, bottle rockets and homemade bow and arrows. All of these items are considered dangerous weapons under current day standards.

Despite such challenging times, we managed to survive maelstroms of disaster with most of our toes, eyes, fingers and ears intact. There’s no doubt we took our share of chances, and broke many branches. We also disregarded a whole slew of rules in the process, but in the end, we always returned with our eyes intact, and the majority of our natural appendages appropriately attached.

Although we didnÕ t know it at the time, the dangerous adventuring, risk taking and childhood shenanigans was actually good for us. It taught us to be independent, and to exercise good judgment on occasion, (although that part of the equation is still debatable.)

Despite ever challenging educational standards, itÕ s interesting to note recent research that indicates children who learn and play outdoors are enriched

www.northcountryman.com

personally and academically in many ways, with improved attention spans, enhanced creativity, increased academic success, improved reading comprehension, higher levels of self-discipline, language and social skills.

IÕ ll also add that we were very good at accessing our own, realistic abilities, even when that knowledge was acquired through the painful process of trial and error.

Outdoors was where wild things belonged and as kids we were regularly included in the mix, regardless of the season. There was no such thing as artificial intelligence or virtual reality, and nothing was sanitized for our protection. We exercised our wild, feral genes at will and boredom was never a concern.

Winter brought on the annual snowball wars, with just enough snow left over to toss at passing cars. The snowbanks averaged at least ten feet tall, or so it seemed.

We skated on rivers or ponds all weekend long, and disputes were a resolved by the oldest or toughest kid, after which we got on with whatever game was at hand. I suppose the real reason my generation enjoyed being outdoors so much was due to the fact that outdoor recreation was about the only form of recreation available.

Rewilding America’s Youth

Ò RewildingÓ is a term commonly used to describe efforts intended to introduce or reintroduce an indigenous species to their original habitats.

The process has proven successful in restoring a variety of native birds to the Adirondacks including bald eagles, peregrine falcons, Common loons, and wild turkey.

Currently, DEC is considering similar efforts to restore populations of spruce grouse aka Fool Hens, to the region.

Such efforts have been responsible for successfully bringing back a host of native aquatic species including lake whitefish, walleye, landlocked salmon, and several heritage strains of Adirondack brook trout.

Beaver were actually the first native species Ò rewildedÓ in the Adirondacks, and the inaugural effort occurred well before a term for the process had even been coined.

A number of landscape species such as moose have naturally returned to the Park as roadless, wilderness areas continue to provide refuge areas across the region.

There are also a wide variety of iconic Adirondack species that may eventually be considered for similar rewilding efforts including landscape predators such as lynx, cougar, and wolf.

In order for this to happen, there are three key elements that need to b in place including a large, trackless, protected core reserve and a number of wildlife corridors that offer the necessary connectivity for keystone species to become established.

In addition to core areas and connectivity, there also needs to be a keystone carnivore that can regulate and provide balance within the ecosystem.

Algonquin Park, located in Ontario, Canada has the closest population of large-scale predators, with several red wolf packs.

It is interesting to note a cougar was recently discovered in the southern reaches of the province, near Ottawa.

There is also potential for a wildlife corridor to connect the Adirondacks to Algonquin.

As has been reported previously, the average elementary school kid no longer comes in contact with wild animals. They donÕ t attend outdoor programs, and many are not allowed to go outdoors unattended.

Although they are able to recognize nearly 1,000 corporate logos by the age of 9, they are unable to identify more than 10 common garden plants and animals.

Life has become overly artificial and sanitized, as we strive to protect our kids from the very things that can be of greatest joy. A 2006 study commissioned by Corus Entertainment reveals that 7- to 12-year-olds spend an average of nearly 11 hours a day on media of some sort, mainly television and the Internet.

For the health of the planet, and those who hope to live here in the future, parents and educators must make concerted efforts to reconnect kids with the natural world, before itÕ s too late.

Wild Things

Rewilding is a term that is often used to describe the process of reintroducing animals or plants to their original habitat or to a similarly wild habitat. The purpose of such effort is return the land and inhabitants to a more natural state. It has been proven successful in many ecosystems around the world especially when the efforts are focused on protecting or reintroducing apex predators and keystone species.

Rewilding often requires ecological restoration or wilderness engineering to restore connectivity between fragmented protected areas, and the reintroduction of predators where extirpated.

If such efforts have proven successful with a variety of wild animals; there’s no reason to believe similar results could not be achieved with the reintroduction or rewilding of apex predators.

In this regard, IÕ m not talking about cougars,

Stalemate: Lake Placid, Beekmantown tie 2-2 in rematch Blue Bombers come back to tie game twice; both goalies stellar in OT draw

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID Ñ The hard-hitting, hotlycontested rematch of the Blue Bombers and Eagles had a little bit of everything.

Everything but a winner.

No. 7 Beekmantown went up a score two times, but each time Nzoni Thompson of No. 4 Lake Placid had an answer, and in the end both teams had to settle with a 2-2 overtime tie Feb. 11 on the 32 Rink in Lake Placid.

Play between the pipes had plenty to do with it. Lake PlacidÕ s Tucker Angelopoulos and BeekmantownÕ s Ben Frederick both put together stellar games in net, stopping 24 and 34 shots, respectively.

Angelopoulos denied a handful of one-onone opportunities while Frederick was peppered in the third period but stopped each chance at a game-winner.

Michael Parent and Tyler Pepper both scored goals for the Eagles.

Beekmantown looked the readier team early on in the game, controlling the puck and putting eight shots on net, though it took 11 minutes of the first period to get one past Angelo-

poulos.

With the game scoreless, Kyle Constanty appeared to have the go-ahead score, but a collision between BeekmantownÕ s Josh Barriere and a Lake Placid defender knocked the net off and it was waved off by referees.

But just over two minutes later, the Eagles would get one that wouldnÕ t be denied. Parent came down the left side and scored on a high, glove-side shot across the net.

Christian Wawrzynski was credited with the assist. Ò Beekmantown came out with a lot of energy and we just didn’t match it in the first,” said Lake Placid head coach Keith Clark, whose team beat the Eagles in their first meeting 2-1 in overtime.

Two minutes later theyÕ d have another chance, but ConstantyÕ s hard shot rang off the right post.

By the end of the period, it looked like momentum was on the side of the Eagles, but the Blue Bombers did their best to change that early in the second.

Just a minute and three seconds into the second, on assists from Bjorn Kroes and Connor Preston, Thompson threaded a long shot from beyond the left faceoff circle past Frederick and into the net to tie the game.

The tie, or an opportunity to take the lead, would be short lived.

A Blue Bomber missed a clean handle on a high puck and Constanty took off down the ice.

Angelopoulos denied his shot, but Pepper was there to clean it up on a high puck shortly after for a 2-1 led just 57 seconds after ThompsonÕ s goal.

Both teams had their chances in the following minutes, Beekmantown on a two-on-one breakaway and Lake Placid on a screened shot that missed the net by inches.

Then, with 6:05 to play in the period, Thompson took a pass from Evan Damp and got a oneon-one chance with Frederick. He buried the shot to tie the game up at 2-2.

The Eagles got a power play opportunity later on a hooking penalty but failed to convert on the man-up advantage. As it came to an end, a scrum in front of the Blue Bombers net sent a player from each team into the box for hitting after the whistle.

By the end of the second period, the two teams were tied in shots on goal with 16, though the Blue Bombers were looking like the team more in their rhythm. Ò We got better as the game went on,Ó said Clark. Ò I was pleased that we came back twice.

I really liked our third period.Ó Throughout the third, Lake Placid put shot after shot on Frederick. He stopped all 16 he faced over the final 15 minutes while a handful more just missed him and the net.

Though they were outshot 16-8 in the final frame of regulation, the Eagles werenÕ t without their chances, including two good looks by Barriere.

Angelopoulos, however, wasnÕ t to be outdone by his counterpart across the rink and denied each shot, including two one-on-one tries

by Beekmantown.

Lake PlacidÕ s best chance at a game winner came with less than a minute to play. After a stopped shot, the puck slid out to the right and Thompson found it. For just a moment Frederick was out of place and the net open, but by the time Thompson got one off the keeper got a foot on it just inside the pipe.

The horn sounded moments later.

Overtime had its close moments Ñ both Barriere and Thompson had tries stopped while one Lake Placid shot was over-deflected — but both Frederick and Angelopoulos made four saves to close out 26 minutes of scoreless hockey. Ò It was a really exciting, competitive game as both teams had chances to win,Ó added Clark. Ò Both goalies played well keeping it from being a higher scoring tilt. We play Plattsburgh on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and need to focus on that game because they play an up tempo brand of hockey as well.Ó Lake Placid moved to 16-1-1, 7-0-1 on the season while Beekmantown, just three sports behind in the NYSSWA Division II poll, has the same overall mark and is 6-1-1 in division play.

If the two teams are to win their way through playoffs, the next potential meeting between them will decide the section champion.
