All The Pleasures And Benefits Of Gardening Eventually, all keen gardeners are asked the inevitable question: why spend so much time weeding, planting, digging and doing all those other backbreaking jobs? The answer is simple and hard to deny: gardening is an enjoyable pastime, good for our health and for our environment which, you have to admit, is in great need of our help these days. Recent studies are conclusive; those who garden have better control of day-to-day stress which affects so many people nowadays. A Canadian researcher, who no doubt loves to play with words, has said that it isn’t just plants which grow in our gardens. There is also self-esteem, optimism, friendship, creativity, satisfaction, etc. This scientist could have added patience to the list, as well as the humility learnt from plants which take longer to give good results despite all our loving, tender care. On a physical level, gardening is also a great way of keeping in shape, on condition that we don’t insist on lifting and carrying objects which are too heavy for us. It should also be mentioned that gardening helps us to communicate. Plant enthusiasts know how important it is to talk to other gardening fans in order to learn about new horticultural trends or to discover new tricks. You have to admit that gardening is an excellent pretext for opening doors of communication and expanding your circle of friends. As far as the environment is concerned, there are numerous advantages to being a gardening fan. First of all, plants produce oxygen as well as absorbing carbon dioxide, a subject which preoccupies more and more of our politicians. Clearly, plants help to reduce atmospheric pollution by attracting, primarily to their leaves, dust, ashes, pollen and other particles circulating in the air. So it’s not surprising that many hospitals are now giving more importance to plants. Another advantage to our environment concerns temperature control. The presence of plants helps to lower room temperature as well as helping to increase relative humidity levels and reduce heat in urban centers. Various studies have also shown that plants help to reduce noise pollution. It is for this reason that municipalities will now often plant walls of vegetation in neighborhoods bordering main roads. It has been demonstrated that foliage one meter thick growing vertically blocks 8 to 10 decibels. Another important point to make is that plants improve water quality. How do they do this? By slowing down surface water run off, plants allow the water to permeate the soil as well as helping to control flooding and fighting erosion, a phenomenon which has become an increasing reality over the last few years with the climate changes we are experiencing. Finally, we must all recognize the fact that plants attract birds and other animal species. Encouraging plant life is one way of maintaining biological diversity, not forgetting the pleasure which derives from observing the spectacle of the many bird species in our gardens.
Gardening is an enjoyable pastime which improves our health as well as our environment.

Perennials: So Simple To Grow! It isn’t all that long ago that garden centers could only offer us a very limited choice in perennial plants; those plants which grow back every spring over a period of many years. Today, however, we have a huge range to choose from and every year dozens of new varieties are available to us. Whether you are looking for perennials for sunny or shady corners, moist ground or sloping areas, garden centers will be able to supply all your needs in different sizes ranging from 10 cm to 2-liter pots. If you have the necessary budget, the larger size pots will allow your flower beds to bloom much sooner. Unlike annual flowers, which must be planted every spring, perennials stay in the same spot for many years. This means that good planning is required before making any purchases. During the first years, it is better to have flower beds which are fairly empty rather than being obliged to eliminate certain plants during the second year because of overcrowding. When the time comes to make your choices, think about limiting yourself in terms of colour. If you don’t do this your flower bed will give the impression of looking very much like a pizza! A new trend in gardening consists of creating contrasts with the foliage of your perennials. You should be aware of the fact that many perennials draw attention because of their foliage rather than their flowers. Two examples of this are the heuchera and the hosta. When planting perennials, it is important to mix some good compost and fertilizer into the soil in order for the plant to establish itself quickly. To avoid disappointment, you should position all the pots on the flowerbed in such a way as to be able to visualize the layout of the plants. This is a simple way of distributing them according to height at maturity, color, etc. Once this task is completed, the soil should be kept moist for several weeks in order to help the plants establish themselves in their new home. You should also keep the flower bed free of weeds, removing them as they appear. If you love tall perennials, such as delphiniums, it is important to support them with tutors so they will not be damaged on windy days. As the gardening season is relatively short in most regions of Canada, not many gardeners like to cut back their plants in the springtime. So, because we are eager to see the first flowers in bloom, we hesitate to remove young shoots. However, gardeners should be aware that even though pinching the first shoots may delay flowering slightly, the number of flowers you will see blossoming on your plants will certainly make up for it. The pinching method entails holding the young shoot between the thumb and index finger and snapping it off just above a leaf.

Scleroderma walk returns in memory of Randy Duprey By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com
Kate Duprey and her son, Alek, hold a picture of her late husband and Alek’s father, Randy Duprey. Randy Duprey passed away in January 2009 from complications with scleroderma, an autoimmune disease. Photo by Jeremiah S. Papineau
PLATTSBURGH — It was more than a year ago Alek Duprey’s father, Randy Duprey, succumbed to scleroderma, an autoimmune disease. And, though he’s only 2 years old, Alek knows there’s something special about Sunday, June 13. “It’s dada’s walk,” he said. The walk which Alek referred to is the second annual Scleroderma Walk in Memory of Randy Duprey. It was a year ago the first walk was held in Randy’s memory to raise money for The Scleroderma Foundation. The event, organized by Randy’s wife and Alek’s mother, Kate Duprey, raised nearly $15,000 for scleroderma research and raised awareness of the crippling disease. “It’s a special day,” Duprey said of the event. “It raises money for the foundation and it’s a day Alek knows is to keep his father ’s memory alive.” The basic formula for this year ’s event
will remain the same, said Duprey. In addition to the walk/run, the event will include a bake sale, face painting, a 50/50 drawing, and live entertainment. “We’re going to have all the same things as last year, because it was so successful, I didn’t want to change much,” said Duprey. “We just added a bounce house for the kids.” A silent auction will return this year, featuring tickets to a New York Mets game, a boy’s bicycle, gift certificates and gift baskets. “The items are just rolling in,” said Duprey. Participants will also receive a T-shirt and bag, with those raising $250 or more for the foundation receiving a fleece stadium blanket. Duprey said she’d like to see as many participants or more this year. Last year ’s event saw 313 people walking for the cause. “This year, we have on-line registration, and we’ve already got 39 people signed up,” said Duprey. “We have a
Facebook page that has 178 confirmed guests and another 319 maybe showing up.” Whatever it takes to bring more people in and raise money for The Scleroderma Foundation, is what Duprey is willing to do, she said. Especially considering she recently learned scleroderma is now believed to be genetically linked in 1 in 100 cases. “So, I have reason more than ever to find a cure for this disease,” Duprey said as she looked at her son. “I really hope we can do as well for the foundation this year, if not, better. We just want to do the very best we can for them.” The June 13 walk will again be held at the Beekmantown Town Hall Park, 571 Spellman Road, beginning with registration at 9 a.m., and the walk/run to begin at 10:15 a.m. For more information about the walk, including how to make donations toward the event, visit Duprey’s Web site at www.thedupreyfamily.blogspot.com.

United Way on par for next golf classic Registration still being taken for June 17 event By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com
LAKE PLACID — For 10 years, the United Way of the Adirondack Region has helped raise money for organizations in the tri-county area through a golf tournament. However, the golf tournament, which will be held Thursday, June 17, is not your typical tournament. When the tournament was created by Michael Mannix — former executive director of then the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties — the plan was to make it a fundraising event with
celebrities. “He thought that this would be something different by getting Olympians,” explained United Way administrative coordinator Kathy Snow. “It puts a different spin on it.” Teams of three people sign up for the tournament and either an Olympian or a local celebrity will be the fourth player. “It’s a fun event,” said Snow. Registration for the day begins at 8 a.m., with tee off time at 10 a.m. However, there’s more to the day than just golf. Players begin with a continental breakfast and end the day with a barbecue. Throughout the day prizes are given out as well as trophies. “They have money holes, the longest drive award, the closest to the pin,” Snow explained. “There’s two trophies that are given out for first place net and first
place gross.” One of the trophies is in memory of Mannix, while the other is in memory of Jack Shea — a former Olympian. “He was a double gold-medal winner speedskater in Lake Placid,” explained Snow. The prizes and awards given throughout the day are to encourage people to join the tournament, which averages $12,000 in proceeds. “It goes for a good cause,” Snow said. “The whole proceeds goes to help the United Way and the partner agencies.” To register for the golf classic or to become a sponsor, visit the United Way office at 45 Tom Miller Road, call 563-0028, or visit www.unitedwayadk.org. The cost is $500 for a team of three, which includes greens fees, cart, free raffle gifts, and breakfast and dinner.

“I said to Joey that we could try him out, and once again we clicked,” said Lautenschuetz.
By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com
PLATTSBURGH — Motion of the Ocean is making some waves. The alternative rock and metal band — which consists of Stacey Senecal on vocals, Travis Lautenschuetz and Adam Bruno on guitar, Joey Gillespie on drums and vocals, and Bryan Lacy on bass — formed in late 2009. Lautenschuetz had been recording with Bruno's old band, and both became interested in forming a band together. “So, when Adam's band disbanded, we got down to business and just tried finding the best group of musicians that we could find,” said Lautenschuetz. The first step was finding a drummer. After going through a few people, Lautenschuetz suggested an old friend, Joey Gillespie, who he went to high school with. “When we first got together and jammed, we clicked instantly,” Lautenschuetz said. The next step was to find a bassist. Gillespie suggested his cousin, Bryan Lacy, to fill in on bass.
the ‘burgh
It is the Motio n of the Ocean All that was left was to find a vocalist. Though the original plan was for Bruno to take on the task, he wasn’t what the band envi-
sioned and the search was on to bring in someone else. That person was Stacey Senecal. “The majority of the local music scene consisted of male vocalists, and we knew right from the start that we wanted to separate ourselves from other bands up here,” said Lautenschuetz. “We tried her out, and at the first practice we knew that we wanted to keep her, and so we did.” The band’s first show was last November at the Oraja Hooka Lounge on Brinkerhoff Street, just weeks before it closed. “I will never forget it,” said Lautenschuetz. “The place was packed full front to back and you could barely move.” Since then, the band has developed a large fan base through shows in the city at Olive Ridley's and Coffee Camp, Cocktails in Morrisonville and various basement shows around the North Country. March was an especially good month for Motion of the Ocean. That was when the band took first place at the Olive Ridley’s Rockin' Ridley's Battle of the Bands competition. It was also when the band released their self-produced debut album, “Page Drive,” featuring five original songs. They’ve kept the momentum going by book-

ing shows like ones at this year ’s Relay for Life, Clinton County Fair and at Higher Ground in Burlington, Vt. “It feels great to know that you're playing on a stage where so many great musicians have played,” Lautenschuetz said of Higher Ground. “Both national and international acts have passed through those doors, and it's really an awesome feeling.” The band’s many musical influences — which include Rise Against, Rage Against the Machine Slipknot, A Day to Remember, and Epica, among others — is what Senecal said leads them to play“such a wide variety of music that its hard to stand by one genre.” “What I love the most about [Motion of the Ocean] is that we can play with both sides of the local spectrum,” she said. “From black and death metal to hardcore to pop rock, we have a song that fits each. We like to focus on the heavy stuff mostly.” “I think what sets us apart is our ability to do anything we set our mind to,” she added. (Editor’s Note: Motion of the Ocean will be playing this Friday, June 4, at Coffee Camp on Margaret Street. The show begins at 7 p.m. and include performances from Sink or Swim and Bright Light Motion. The cost is $5 at the door. Check out the band on Facebook, MySpace and YouTube by searching keyword “Motion of the Ocean.” The band will also perform at this year’s Relay for Life at the Clinton County Fairgrounds in Morrisonville June 18-19.)
