Concert, check mark recent fundraising success for Hospice

By Shawn Ryan

the popular Memory Tree set up annually in the Champlain Centre mall. Ò I would really like to thank the musicians, businesses, Olive RidleyÕ s, everyone who helped make this season so generous for Hospice.Ó

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ December is shaping up nicely for Hospice of the North Country.

A recent series of fund-raisers have buoyed the non-profit’s coffers and has Development and Communications Director Cathlyn Lamitie in good spirits going into the new year.

Local up and coming musician Taloyr-Renee LaValley organized a first ever benefit concert for Hospice. The event, which featured LaValley and several other musicians, was held at Olive Ridleys in Plattsburgh.

“The benefit went great,” said LaValley “We raised a little over $1000. ItÕ s a start, and also just the beginning because we are now planning on doing this annually.Ó Ò I was amazed. ItÕ s amazing when people from the community come forward on their own and ask to organize an event for us. It really makes me feel good about the organization,Ó said Lamitie. Ò Taylor did a fantastic job. SheÕ s so talented and itÕ s so great that sheÕ s giving back to the

community.Ó In a separate annual fundraiser, the Clinton County Board of Realtors presented Hospice of the North Country with a sizable check in the

amount of $21,350.

The money, Lamitie said, will go towards HospiceÕ s Ò Light up a LifeÓ fundraising campaign. The campaign funds both mailings and

The event, held at Olive Ridley’s in Plattsburgh, exceeded last year’s contribution. During the event, a $21,350 check was presented to Hospice of the North Country by CEO Kent W. Brooks, CHPCA. “The Clinton County Board of Realtors’ dedication to the success of this auction and the communities’ incredible generosity will make a significant impact on our ability to provide end-oflife care to patients in Clinton and Franklin counties,” said Brooks.

Throwaway Pups needs help getting back on the road shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Sometimes dogs have nine lives, too.

On Dec. 6, a van owned by Throwaway Pups, based out of Elizabethtown, was driving through Vermont with a full load of puppies rescued from high-kill shelters in the south en route to their forever homes up north. The van, operated by Elizabeth Noka, an employee at Throwaway Pups, lost control on icy roads and went off the road. The van was totaled, but all of the 16 puppies, secured in carrying crates, were unhurt.

Brandy Barnes has run Throwaway Pups for the last seven years, transporting dogs from the high-kill south, to shelters up and down the East Coast, and as far as west as Ohio. She has even placed dogs in shelters in Canada.

“I got my first dog from a shelter, I just love the fact that I get to work with animals,Ó she said. Ò The dogs just know. You can see it in their eyes.Ó Barnes estimates that she has had a hand in rescuing about 20,000 animals, between transporting, and doing the legwork to

have animals placed that she hasnÕ t personally transported.

“This is one job that I’d definitely like to see go out of business. But most of them arenÕ t going to make it if we donÕ t step in. Their time is just up,Ó she said.

Barnes is trying to get back on the road as quickly as possible, and members of the community are rallying to her, or more precisely her puppiesÕ support with a fundraiser to help her to purchase a new van. Ò I originally didnÕ t want to do a fundraiser; there are so many other needy people out there. But so many animals depend on us, thatÕ s why so many people are trying to get us back on the road as soon as possible,Ó Barnes said.

A campaign has been set up through www.youcaring.com to raise money for Throwaway Pups. Those interested in helping can go to www.youcaring.com/other/help-us-get-a-new-vanto-continue-saving-animals/274281#.VISImMhrkno.facebook Above: The Throwaway Pups van after its mishap in Windsor Vermont, and one of the 16 puppies saved from the carnage.

HAUS of Starr to raise holiday funds for Christmas Bureau

By Teah Dowling

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The HAUS of StarrÕ s Mistletoe Magic Christmas Bureau fundraiser will take place from 3 to 8 p.m. at the VFW on Boynton Avenue. Ò WeÕ ve been doing the fundraiser for about a good three or four years now,Ó said Joey Trombley, Miss Gay Plattsburgh 2014 and Twylyte Starr. Ò ItÕ s just our way of giving back. Ò It seems like a really good cause this time of year.Ó The HAUS of Starr, which formed about eight years ago, is composed of a group of performers ranging from drag queens and kings to comedians and singers who hope to bring the Christmas spirit to Plattsburgh. Ò ItÕ s a really good chance to see something different that you donÕ t see everyday in Plattsburgh,Ó Trombley said. Ò How often can a kid meet a Tinkerbell impersonator or an Elsa impersonator.Ó The doors will open at 3 p.m., and the show starts at 4 p.m. with performances by Twylyte Starr, Pattie Cake-Baker, Lydia Lock Jaw and Madame Blanche, along with special guests Devon Cummings, Lilith Valentine and Justice Cummings. Ò WeÕ re working on a good family activity,Ó Trombley said. Ò WeÕ ve got together some really good family-friendly Christmas songs put together, and we have a set of carolers lip syncing.Ó Cost is $5 per person, and children five and under are free.

Most proceeds will go toward the Christmas Bureau.

“It seems to be hard for a lot of families, so we figured we

would give back to the community,Ó Trombley said. Ò ItÕ s the one thing we do every year that is guaranteed as benefit work. Ò (Also) with the Christmas Bureau, a lot of people still donÕ t know what that is.Ó The Clinton County Christmas Bureau is a local all-volunteer organization whose sole mission is to provide Christmas for lowincome families throughout all of Clinton County with the help of the local community for funds and gifts. Ò They stay local, which I really like, and they focus on our community, so our money isnÕ t being spent elsewhere,Ó Trombley said. Ò TheyÕ re actually helping the families in need in our area.Ó Their success is measured each year by the contributions given to them to facilitate their mission by their supporters of individuals, businesses, organizations, co-workers, schools, momÕ s

groups and service clubs.

The Christmas Bureau accepts cash donations, new toys, new kids clothes, knit cloths and used bicycles. Monetary donations can be mailed to the Clinton County Christmas Bureau, P.O. Box 1253, Plattsburgh, N.Y. 12901.

For more information on the Christmas Bureau, call 518-5621253 or email info@clintoncountychristmasbureau.org. For more information on the HAUS of Starr or their upcoming performance, find them on Facebook. Ò As an adult, I enjoy giving gifts more than I do receiving them, and I feel like every family shouldnÕ t have to worry about that come Christmas time,Ó Trombley said. Ò No kid should have to feel left out.Ó

Kretser to conduct ‘Half a Degree of Separation’ forum

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Councilor Joshua Kretser will be conducting a community forum Wednesday, Dec. 17, at 7 p.m. at the Strand Theatre, 25 Brinkerhoff St. The title of the forum, “Half a Degree of SeparationÓ , plays to the concept of how closely related downtown residents, businesses, community action groups and others are in the collaborative process of improving downtown Plattsburgh. Kretser will be joined by Kristy Kennedy, Vice President for Marketing for the North Country Chamber of Commerce, Michael Cashman, Assistant Director for the Center for Student Involvement for SUNY Plattsburgh, Jessica Dulle, Executive Director for the Strand Center for the Arts/Strand Theatre, Colin Read, President of the Plattsburgh Downtown Association, Tim McCormick, member of the board of directors for First Weekends, and Aaron Benner, co-owner of Boire Benner Group. There will be a question and answer period for the audience to ask any questions of our speakers. Local organist Dennis Frisbie will perform a holiday organ concert on the Strand TheatreÕ s nearly ninety year old Wurlitzer Organ, which is one of only nineteen left of its kind. The event will be free of charge and open to the public. Ò I look forward to speaking with North Country residents regarding what we have accomplished as well as ideas for the future growth of downtown Plattsburgh. I encourage the general public to attend this forum to learn what is going on downtown, to have their voice heard regarding their concerns for the City of Plattsburgh and to enjoy a truly festive Holiday Wurlitzer Organ Concert.Ó

News Editorial

Consider the history before criticizing county over tax hike

I

f you ever need a barometer to gauge public sentiment, visit any gas station in the North Country between dawn and mid-morning and talk to the coffee-slugging chattering class.

Each town has a chapter. You know who they are.

Last week, the morning after the Essex County Board of Supervisors hit taxpayers right between the eyes with a 7.5 percent tax hike, a gentleman offered an unprintable comment expressing his displeasure.

We canÕ t blame his frustration. But itÕ s a great example of having a selective memory.

Prior to last week’s vote, County Manager Dan Palmer, who also serves as the budget officer, told supervisors the only way to stay under the state-mandated tax cap was to cut services, a measure he admitted would be pilloried by taxpayers.

Lawmakers had already slashed nearly a half-million bucks and were coming dangerously close to hacking away at items that would have measurable, tangible effects on peoplesÕ lives.

Nearly two dozen requests for personnel adjustments were also stopped dead in their tracks, a measure that will undoubtedly affect governmental efficiency as beleaguered staffers — including the folks who process your taxes, register your vehicles, plow your roads and conduct other business that is indispensable to your daily life Ñ will be expected to do the jobs of two or even three people.

Throughout this, Palmer, to his credit, wisely advised lawmakers to shore up their rainy day funds, a measure that would require an unpleasant but required spike in taxes Ñ 34 percent over five years — but would also improve the country’s long-term economic outlook.

But this option, too, is now being hammered by taxpayers despite the fact that their tax rate has been relatively flat for the past decade.

In fact, taxes have been held artificially low for the past 10 years.

What weÕ re seeing now is a rubber band effect.

The truth is, the amount homeowners pay in Essex County taxes compared to the services provided is really a heck of a bargain. Essex County taxpayers enjoy the lowest rate in a five county region. Clinton CountyÕ s taxes are exactly double that of Essex County.

Not to mention, without public sector jobs like those offered by the state, schools and county, the North Country would quickly turn into one huge ghost town. Local communities essentially coexist around themselves, with taxes rolling back into local jobs and the local economy.

Next year, the county tax rate is projected to rise to $3.01. ItÕ s currently at $2.81, which means homeowners with $100,000 homes can expect a $20 tax increase.

That’s a little more than 5 cents a day.

And, 10 years ago, in 2004, that number was actually 28 percent higher at $3.91.

The numbers steadily dropped until 2011, when they hit $1.98, one of the lowest rates in the state.

Despite this, taxpayers continued to enjoy essentially the same amount of services, including the state-mandated items the county has no control over, while county budget officials struggled to make ends meet. Eventually, the only place left to draw from was the countyÕ s surplus and it dipped to dangerously low levels Ñ leaving supervisors with no recourse other than to borrow should an emergency arise.

It was then when the state stepped in and chided the county for adopting budgets for the general fund that were not structurally balanced.

So what youÕ re seeing now is a gradual reversal after years of cruising along on easy street in the face of skyrocketing costs like mandated Medicaid expenses and inflationary health care charges.

Seems like our elected officials just can’t win.

The process is messy and could use some improvements, sure, but Board Chairman Randall Douglas, Palmer, Finance Chairman Thomas Scozzafava and county Attorney Dan Manning should be commended for keeping county taxes flat for as long as they did and for now having the guts to right the ship. ÑD

Supports board’s cemetery effort To the Editor: This is to support the Essex County Board of SupervisorÕ s efforts to take back the cemetery that was used to inter residents of the former Essex County Home. IÕ m not a proponent of eminent domain but in this case, itÕ s appropriate.

People who are buried there were under the care of Essex County the same as those currently residing at Essex Home in Elizabethtown.

Those Souls were our neighbors; Veterans, farmers, business people, widows and widowers. There’s no flag to commemorate Veterans buried there. We must allow access to the general public who may wish to visit and fly the flag to honor the Veterans.

When Essex County built the Horace Nye Home in Elizabethtown, the entire property was turned over to the Essex County Industrial Agency. The cemetery parcel should not have been sold. For some unknown reason it was included in the final sale. Nothing was done to rectify the situation until approximately five years ago. Randy and Vicki Dickerson brought the issue to the attention of the county.

The property owner has allowed access for lawn mowing, but stopped work being done to clear and raise graves so names can be read. In a letter written to the Essex County Board the owner expressed that her attorney has expressed liability concerns with public working at the site.

The cemetery property is of no real estate value. It canÕ t be sold; nothing can be done to raise equity. By holding this property the owner accepts liability because New York State guarantees public access to cemeteries. Absent equitable resolution with the property owner, the County has the responsibility to take the property. This taking will assure proper reverence for those buried there, uphold NYS Law and eliminate liability for the owner.

Teresa Sayward, Willsboro

Electric dependent

To the Editor: I donÕ t believe any of us realize how dependent we as a society have become on electricity. It is not until we donÕ t have it due to mechanical problems or weather like we recently experienced that we come to understand how important it has become to our everyday lives.

When we no longer have it for any duration, we may start to grumble about about rough we have it, probably not even thinking about all of the people who are out day and night in all kinds of conditions working to get the lights back on.

At this time, I would like to thank all of the NYSEG linemen and their supporting tree crews for their tireless work and sacrifice on our behalf.

Thanks for a job well done, Forrest Spaulding, Westport

clerical, and HPER student-staffed positions will have hours reduced, and anticipated vacancies, including three faculty positions and two part-time clerical positions, will remain unfilled for the foreseeable future.

The college blames a 9.6 percent decline in enrollment and cuts to the state budget for their current fiscal plight. During the current academic year, the college has made cuts to procurenent and repair budgets to stem the current budgetÕ s shortfall.

College officials say the budget shortfall will not affect expansion projects currently going on at the college.

Most of the staffing changes will take effect May 31, 2015. Others will take affect Aug. 31.

The perfect marinade machine

I

A solitary skier makes his way uphill toward Owls Head, on the backside of Giant Mountain.

Photo by Joe Hackett

The first winter ski W

ell, I finally got out there! I’d been patiently awaiting the first ski trip of the New Year, since the beginning of Big Game season, Unfortunately, Mother Nature appeared very leery about inviting Old Man Winter back through the door.

In fact, there was less than a week of decent tracking snow, the entire hunting season.

I had not even bothered to get my skis out of the garage, until the recent storm delivered over two feet of snow across the region.

While most of the regionÕ s downhill ski centers now have adequate snowmaking capabilities, the Nordic folks still rely on nature to provide their pleasures. And what a pleasure it was.

Although the heavy snow took down a lot of trees, and de-limbed many more, while the fresh snow also served to whitewash the remaining remnants of autumn.

Despite the regular labors required of a wintry onslaught, such as shoveling, plowing, and clearing away the mess of the passing plow trucks; I decided to embrace the opportunity.

The effort required a bit of investigation in order to locate my skis, boots, poles, wax, gloves, scrapers and other essential items, but it was worth it.

The trip required me to pass over a small, nearby knob, which proved easier than expected. All appeared to be going quite well until I entered a short patch of tall pines that lined a long, fairly level ridge that borders a small swamp.

The day was fair, and yet the sky was grey as I left the house. After maneuvering across a small stream, I ascended the ridge and began plowing through the deep snow. In certain places it was nearly thigh deep, while elsewhere conditions were actually somewhat scratchy, especially in the hemlock and white pine forests.

It wasnÕ t so cold that trees were popping; however limbs were constantly crashing to the forest floor under the weight of the new snow.

The crashing of limbs was yet another hindrance I hadnÕ t even considered. In places, downed limbs obliterated the trails entirely As I transitioned from swamp level to the more open hardwoods, the snow cover became more consistent, and deeper. About halfway up the small hill, I decided to shed the skiis in favor of snowshoes. The snowbase was simply not supporting my weight, and I was struggling to climb in the wet heavy conditions.At first, the snow weighted heavy on the Ô shoes, but after cleaning them off and dousing them with a heavy dose of WD40, the going got much easier.

I climbed higher through the open hardwoods and worked my way around the eastern slope of the ridge,

where the snow pack was less than half the depth of the western exposures.

With nearly three miles of steady elevation gain behind me, I finally made my way through the frost covered spruce thickets and arrived at a small clearing atop the intended ridge. The journey had taken far longer than I had expected, and I was still facing a rather steep and trackless return trip.

Following a fast lunch, and a change back to skis, I stowed the gear into the pack and set off.

Snow cover wasnÕ t nearly as deep up high, and I was sheltered by a thick spruce forest. The snow pack was firmer and faster, and I made good time on the descent.

From the far edge of the ridge, I could just about see my house far in the distance. I descended through a natural chute and came out into a large open bowl, that was sprinkled with hardwood saplings.As it was beginning to grow dark, I took a fairly straight line along the edge of the bowl, where I discovered a fresh set of ski tracks leading straight down the hill.

I linked into the tracks, and picked up speed. The snow was deep, and my legs were sore but my face was crossed with a grin that spread from ear to ear.

As I raced through short sections of saplings, scattered among the towering hemlocks, I struggled to control my speed.Finally, I made it down to the flats, where I managed to cross yet another stream unscathed.A short while later, I found myself staring down two miles of rails that were fortunately tracked and packed by an untold number of snowmobiles. So, I set off once again, with heavier legs, a sore back and a wider grin. It was a great way to welcome in the new season, and to usher out the last.The following morning, I skied back into hunting camp to haul out a few loose items. The snow was deep, the woods quiet and my legs still stiff.

IÕ ve learned to welcome the winter season. In a land that remains bound by artic conditions for nearly four straight months, it is important to know how to enjoy the ice and snow.If you don’t ski, or skate, ice fish or sled, build snow forts and snow sculptures or engage in snowball fights and flights of frolic; winter will surely be the cruelest season.

have coined this column for more than two decades and rarely have taken the opportunity to endorse a service or product. However, I stumbled across a device this hunting season that should be under every camouflaged Christmas tree.

Those who have frequented my hunting camp know my fond affinity for food and for cooking said aforementioned food. I wear the hat of camp cook and am always dabbling with different marinades to accentuate the taste of meats and fish and looking for methods to tenderize wild game meat.

This season, I had the opportunity to try out a product called the Marinade Express and I have absolutely no reservations recommending it to outdoorsmen or any cooking aficionado. The product uses a specially formulated process called “vacuum tumbling” to open cellular structures in meat and fish and quickly and efficiently infuse foods with marinade.

The result is super tasting food with amazing tenderness. The machine is also super easy to use. Simply load the provided drum with your favorite wild game meat, fish, poultry, vegetables or a combination of these; add your favorite marinade, screw on the lid and the machine does the rest.

A small hose is inserted into the drum and the air is vacuumed out, drawing the marinade through the food. The drum and the food therein is then spun by the Marinade Express. A divider inside the drum constantly rotates the contents through the marinade. Most foods Ñ even roasts Ñ are ready to cook in 20 minutes or less. Gone are the days of using a meat mallet to tenderize and then soaking foods in marinade for a day or more.

At the same time, because meat, fish and poultry gain moisture through the process, cooking time is reduced by up to 20 percent. It even extends the shelf life of foods by eliminating nearly all bacteria that can cause spoilage and foodborne illness. Meat and fish can be infused with marinade, packaged and frozen for meals at a later date.

Fellow outdoor writer Tom Schlichter, who is helping market the Marinade Express, recently contacted me to say that the product Ñ when used in combination with MX Marinades sold by the same company Ñ reduces the amount of mercury in fish by up to 50 percent. That is great news for anglers who fish in designated waters that contain an advisory on mercury levels.

The state cautions anglers not to eat more than one meal a month of fish caught from waterbodies such as Schroon Lake and Lake Champlain, for example. Marinating fish in the Marinade Express, combined with the specially formulated MX Marinades Ñ reduces the health risk associated with eating fish from these bodies of water. Ò WeÕ ve been working on a solution to reduce high levels of mercury in seafood like cod, tuna, swordfish and freshwater favorites like walleye, trout and catfish,” said Marinade Express company president, Dan Neumann. Ò We partnered with the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and Dr. John Ejnik during an extensive four-year research program and are now happy to announce the results: Not only does the Marinade Express significantly reduce mercury in fish - it does so using natural ingredients.”

The removal of methylmercury from fish is accomplished by adding select ingredients to the MX Marinade formulas, which are mixed in water and placed in the drum of the Marinade Express. These ingredients bond with mercury and wash out during the rotation of the drum. In all, there are over 20 flavors of MX Marinade to choose from. My personal favorite is the teriyaki.

The Marinade Express retails for $299 and comes with a 10-pound drum and includes a starter pack of MX Marinades. Additional marinade packets as well as a larger 20-pound Ò chefs drumÓ that can tumble bigger portions such as a whole turkey or large roast are available for an additional cost.

The unit is available for sale at Amazon.com, Shopperschoice.com or at marinadeexpress.com, where you can also find recipes and see the Marinade Express in action. The machine was a great addition to my cooking arsenal this season at hunting camp. I am sure the outdoorsmen in your family will feel the same.
