Doing a good deed porters of cancer research,” said Adelmann. “My grandfather died of leukemia, but, as a parent, it hits you even more, thinking about how it’d be if your child had cancer.” Adelmann reached out to hair stylist Bob Whittington of Tangles Hair Salon on Cogan Avenue, who cut 12 inches of her hair, free of charge, for the donation. “This was new for me,” said Whittington, who’s dealt with other organizations like Locks of Love in the past. “This had different criteria where some sell the hair to cancer victims. We were happy to support this one that doesn’t charge them anything.” “It’s good, especially when they’re going through a tough time,” he added. Donating hair to Wigs for Kids is something Adelmann said she’d encourage anyone to do, especially for one reason. “Just thinking of their smiles — those little kiddy smiles,” she said.

PLATTSBURGH — Hillary Adelmann loves kids. As a mother herself, she knows the importance of a child’s self-esteem. That’s why she recently donated some of her hair to Wigs for Kids, an organization that provides hair replacement for children affected by hair loss due to chemotherapy, alopecia, burns and other medical conditions. “I’ve been growing my hair for a year and a half because I wanted to donate it,” said Adelmann. Adelmann and her mother were surfing the Internet one day to find out where she could donate her hair when her mother happened upon the Wigs for Kids Web site, www.wigsforkids.org. When they learned Wigs for Kids gives wigs to children free of charge, that sealed the deal, said Adelmann. “My mom and I, we’re very big sup-

Battle in the Burgh returns Saturday By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com
PLATTSBURGH — Jim Tyler wants people to know virtually anyone can get into bodybuilding. It was more than 20 years ago when Tyler was playing football for the Plattsburgh North Stars that he himself found that out. “I only weighed about 135 pounds and I was taking a beating,” Tyler said with a laugh. “I told myself I needed to gain some weight but I had never lifted weights a day in my life.” He soon began bodybuilding, learning the ropes of sculpting his muscles as he went. He did so well, in fact, his peers suggested he participate in a bodybuilding competition. “There was such camaraderie backstage and the show itself was so overwhelming, that I just knew I wanted to begin promoting
the ‘burgh
shows myself,” said Tyler. And, he did. In 2002, Tyler began promoting “Battle in the Burgh,” a United States Bodybuilding Federation-sanctioned competition that returns this year for its seventh time. The competition, which has classes for men and women, is something that draws not only participants of both sexes, but of all ages. “This year, I believe we have a 16-year-old competing and my oldest competitor signed up so far is 63,” said Tyler. “And, the 63year-old isn’t doing a show just to see how it feels. This guy is competitive.” The show doesn’t just draw people showing off their physique, said Tyler. It also draws a crowd of people fascinated by the sport. “The turnouts have been rising every year,” he said. “I’m expecting that to happen again this
year.” This year ’s show will be held this Saturday, May 29, at Seton Academy on St. Charles Street. Doors will open to spectators and competitors at 8:30 a.m., with the competition to begin at 11 a.m. Judging will last until approximately 2 p.m., with a break in the action until about 4 p.m. The competition will resume around 4:30 p.m. with competitors posing and award winners being named. General admission is $20 for the entire day or $15 to view either the judging or finals portions of the event. Children younger than 13 will be admitted for $7 for the day. “And, if a kid’s small enough they can sit on your lap, they’re admitted for free,” said Tyler. For more information, including how to compete in Saturday’s competition, call Tyler at 5934637 or send him an e-mail at tbonejt24@aol.com.

One less plastic baggie By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com
PLATTSBURGH — With more and more plastic bags ending up in the landfill every year, many are looking at other options to this nonbiodegradable material. Wendy Patunoff, a speech and language teacher at Bailey Avenue Elementary School and a member of the Adirondack Mountain Club, has created “Green-Loc” — the name she is designated for her homemade reusable sandwich bags.
the ‘burgh
“I started it as a Christmas gift,” Patunoff recalled. “And, after I gave them out for Christmas, people wanted more. So, I started sewing them and that’s kind of how it got started.” Patunoff first learned of the reusable bags when a colleague brought one into school. She then took the idea home with her and worked to create her own version. With different types of fabric on the outside of the bag and a washable material used on the inside, Patunoff now sells her creation for $5 a piece. “It’s amazing, you don’t even realize because Ziplocs have always been so convenient, how many you save,” said Patunoff. “It just saves so much and I think it just sends a nice little message.” “I’m always proud to see all the young people using them,” she added. “I think we’ve been preaching recycling and not wasting for a long time; not
over-packaging. It’s just fits nicely with that.” Patunoff has created two types of Green-Loc bags — based on the material used on the inside. One she has created with a waterproof laminated fabric and the other with ripstop nylon — both closed with Velcro. And, she has found they aren’t only utilized with the typical “bagged lunch.” “One of my girlfriends uses it for her jewelry at the gym,” Patunoff said. “Some people use it for makeup, snacks.” “I just throw [them] quickly in a bag for organization,” she added. Patunoff ’s Green-Loc bag creation can be found at the North Country Food Co-op, 25 Bridge St., or Stony Brook Pottery, 72 Mason St., Morrisonville. For more information, Patunoff can be contacted at wendypatu@aol.com.

By Katherine Clark Special to Denton Publications PLATTSBURGH — The second annual Cupcake Showdown will bring together a unique combination — cupcakes and roller skates. The Crafty Geek Brigade — a communitybuilding organization with the goal of creating an outlet for anything, everything and everyone — will be holding its Cupcake Showdown at the Great Adirondack Soup Company Saturday, May 29, from 7-9:30 p.m. Coffee and tea will be provided and the showdown will include musical performance by local musician Katie Booth. According to organizer and North Country Lumber Jill member Kim Cummins, the event is an opportunity for local bakers to showcase their talents to the Plattsburgh community. “There are a lot of amazing bakers stuck in the home that don’t get a chance to be recognized. This is a good chance to celebrate their individual talents,” said Cummins. “Good food, music and drink always bring people together.” Bakers may submit entries free of charge to be judged for prizes in six categories — best taste, best decoration, best use of fruit or vegetable ingredients, best vegan cupcake, funniest decoration, and the grand prize title of Super-Duper Best-of-the-West High-Noon Total-Package Awesome Cupcake.
Haven’t you heard??
is the word!
For a $5 suggested donation, members of the community can act as showdown judges and sample as many of the confectionary delights as desired. All proceeds from the showdown will help support the Plattsburgh Roller Derby League’s North Country Lumber Jills. “The variety of cupcakes and ingenuity of bakers was incredible,” said Erin McGill, last year ’s most creative cupcake winner. Last year ’s event saw cupcakes ranging from butterflies, to a garden theme, to spaghetti and meatballs, all created with sugary sweets. For this year, Cummins hopes to see more alternative cupcake submissions for the vegan, and fruit or vegetable categories. Showdown competitors must submit at least one dozen cupcakes by 6:30 p.m. the day of the competition to participate. Competitors are not limited to enter one type of cupcake and may submit as many different cupcakes as desired. Cummins explained the event has been supported by many local businesses, including the North Country Food Co-op, Starbucks and Price Chopper. Anyone interested in submitting a donation or for more information, can visit www.craftygeekbrigade.weebly.com or www. plattsburghrollerderby.weebly.com. Katherine Clark is an intern with the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.

Jazzin’ it up with the Adirondack Jazz Orchestra
By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com
PLATTSBURGH — The Adirondack Jazz Orchestra has your fix if you’re in the mood for some big band music. The group — which has been playing since November 2003 — has become a regular fixture at Olive Ridley’s on Court Street, performing the first Wednesday of every month. Matthew Pray, the Adirondack Jazz Orchestra’s musical director, said the band has had “a great following” since beginning the regular performances. “It’s nice to see some of the same people month after month, but still seeing new people every time,” said Pray. “It’s great that our following is made up of both the older generations and young ones as well.” The AJO, as it has come to be known, features “some of the finest musicians in the area,” said Pray, showcasing the talent of its nearly 20 regular members who hail from across the Adirondacks. What keeps people coming back to their performances, said Pray, is simply their sound. “We try to incorporate all types of big band music,” said Pray. “If you come out to see us, you won’t just hear the
the ‘burgh
dance band music everyone thinks of when they hear the words ‘Big Band.’ We play a lot of contemporary big band music as well.” Selections made famous by Glenn Miller, Count Basie,
May 27-June 2, 2010
Duke Ellington, and several other greats are what makes up the AJO’s repertoire, with the band developing a following for its many lively arrangements. “It is fun music,” said Pray. “We’ve got high school students from several schools now that love to come out and hear the band ... We have several elderly ladies who drive about an hour each month just to come out just to hear the first set, but never want to leave.” Most recently, the AJO had the honor of opening for The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra, during a performance at Moriah Central School May 10. The group was excited to perform the once-in-a-lifetime gig, said Pray, and is looking forward to headlining their own performances this summer at Saranac Village at Will Rogers and the Jay Summer Concert Series. “It is a pleasure working with such great people,” said Pray. “Every member of this group is an outstanding person in my opinion ... Every month I’m hearing new and exciting things starting to happen.”
(Editor’s Note: The Adirondack Jazz Orchestra will perform this Wednesday, June 2, beginning at 8 p.m. They can be followed on MySpace at www.myspace.com/adirondackjazz orchestra or on Facebook by searching for Adirondack Jazz Orchestra.)

Thyme: An Alternative To The Traditional Lawn New and stricter laws concerning the use of herbicides for lawn care have encouraged many homeowners to look for alternatives. One of these consists of replacing your lawn with Thymus serpyllum (wild or creeping thyme)... on condition that the site is a sunny one. With thyme, you will create an ecofriendly lawn which requires no watering, no fertilization and... no mowing! Contrary to popular belief, wild thyme can be walked on without causing much damage and has the advantage of spreading rapidly. Whatʼs more, during heat waves, thyme doesnʼt tend to yellow like a regular lawn would without the necessary water. In addition, the white grub, an insect which is causing more and more damage to grasses in traditional lawns, avoids Thymus serpyllum. There are two methods of creating a lawn of wild thyme, either by using seeds or plants purchased from a local garden centre. Of course, the latter method is more costly but the result is much faster. As well, seeding is not always easy, especially if there are violent storms in the following days. Allow a distance of 25 cm between each plant and after a few months the area will be completely covered. At the beginning of summer, your new lawn will be covered with beautiful little white or pink flowers which will last at least five weeks. The scent of the foliage is another advantage of this choice.
With thyme, you will create an ecofriendly lawn which requires no watering, no fertilizing & no mowing!

Discovering The Dry Garden The dry garden is a little known feature in North American gardens. But the many arid gardens created in Japanese Zen temples are now a source of inspiration for North American landscapers who are introducing this garden composed entirely of plants requiring very little care. The dry garden is an original solution for limiting the use of water while encouraging meditation. This type of garden is made up of plants coming from poor soils, shrubs and mulch. But mulch doesnʼt necessarily mean wood chips. In the dry garden, also called “karesansui”, you will only find mulch in the form of gravel, sand or pebbles. This type of coverage encourages good drainage and limits evaporation, creating humidity which allows the plants to survive without water. At the heart of this garden is the dry river bed covered with light coloured gravel; no need to plant flowers and shrubs everywhere. It is sufficient to choose a few elements according to soil and climate criteria. However, this type of garden requires a thorough knowledge of botany in order to choose droughtresistant plants. A specialized landscaper can help you design your project and can give you advice when selecting plants adapted to your region. Once you have planted your garden, a good watering will be necessary to allow the plants to develop roots. You should be aware that this Japanese garden will teach you patience: several years may be required before the plants develop good root systems. On a daily basis, weeding will be your major inconvenience as it will have to be done by hand.
