Pet-A-Palooza to take over Curtis Lumber more than 100 animals. “Now, it’s something we’re having companywide, which just overjoys me,” said Girardi. Curtis Lumber has teamed up with WTEN, the Capital District’s ABC affiliate, to sponsor the event, with the station paying up to $75 of all adoption fees for pets adopted as a result of the event. “I’m sure that will be a good incentive,” said Adirondack Humane Society shelter manager Lillian Cassidy, who noted the amount covers the majority of the adoption fees charged for new pet owners. Elmore SPCA executive director Kc Mace said an event such as Pet-APalooza will be a great benefit for alleviating the routinely high population each shelter sees. “This will definitely help us because sometimes people see a picture of one of our animals in the paper and fall in love with it, only to meet it and

PLATTSBURGH — It’s not every day you’ll find cats and dogs roaming the grounds of Curtis Lumber. However, that day will soon be here. Curtis Lumber will host “Pet-APalooza” Saturday, June 19, at each of its 22 locations across New York and Vermont, including its Tom Miller Road store in Plattsburgh. Employees Paul Deyoe and Tanya Girardi, who are coordinating the event for the Plattsburgh store, said Pet-A-Palooza will be an opportunity for people to meet with representatives from the Adirondack Humane Society and Elmore SPCA, among other organizations, to learn about adopting animals. Curtis Lumber president and owner Jay Curtis and his wife, Kendra, hosted a similar event last year in the company’s Ballston Spa location which saw the adoption of

Bonnie Berry receives Elizabeth Heins award By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com ALTONA — Bonnie Berry of Plattsburgh has been named the recipient of the 2010 Elizabeth R. Heins Inspirational Survivorship Award. Berry, a retired administrator from the Peru Central School District, was given the honor during annual Treasure Chests Soirée May 20 at the Rainbow and Banquet Hall. Clinton County Legislator Sara E. Rowden, D-Area 4, was joined by event coordinator Elli Collins in presenting the award to Berry, crediting her for her work in the community to promote cancer awareness and raising money for cancer research. Berry, a breast cancer survivor herself, is known for working with events like the annual Plattsburgh Relay for Life, Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure and the

Treasure Chests Soirée. “Her real strengths are her ability to reach out to people, to share open and honestly, her personal story of breast cancer, to keep moving forward and never give up,” said Rowden. Rowden’s words were echoed in letters nominating her for the award from friends like Gretchen “Libby” Goller of Champlain. “Bonnie is always willing to share her story and to help anyone going through this journey of breast cancer survivorship,” Goller wrote. “Her strength, courage, compassion and humor affects everyone she meets. She is definitely filled with an enormous zest for life.” Donna Eisele of Peru also credited Berry in her letter of nomination for being a member of The Boobie Sisters, a comedy troupe composed of local breast cancer survivors, bringing smiles to the faces of peo-
ple the group entertains. “[Bonnie] inspires many by her past actions, fight for life and living it now to the fullest,” wrote Eisele. “Elizabeth Heins would be proud to know a woman of Bonnie Berry’s dedication, involvement and character is selected for the award.” Berry was visibly taken back when she took the stage, but joked with Rowden and Collins as she accepted the award. “I’m not supposed to get my make up a mess before we get up here and sing,” Berry said, laughing with tears streaming down her cheeks. “It’s an honor to be here tonight as a survivor and also to join the ranks of those who been an inspiration to all. It’s just overwhelming.” Berry now joins the list of past recipients of the award, which includes Gracelyn Murphy, Cindy Topnick, Marie Beemer, Libby Goller and Barb Nephew.

Adirondack Pride celebration to be held at Cocktails this Sunday By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com
PLATTSBURGH — Adirondack Pride, an organization dedicated to encouraging acceptance and tolerance for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities, is gearing up for its first annual Adirondack Pride Festival. If you think you’ve heard of this event before, you have. Joey Trombley, chairman of the Adirondack Pride Committee and owner of Twylyte’s Salon in Plattsburgh, said the event was held last year under the name North Country Pride, but, this year, took on a new name. “We wanted to keep it going again this year. We wanted to do something,” said Trombley. Since President Barack Obama declared June National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month last year, events such as the Adirondack Pride Festival have become even more important to be held, said Trombley, as part of a continued effort
to break down barriers and end discrimination in the LGBT community. “Gay people are no different than anybody else,” said Trombley. “We have families, too. We go to work. We pay our taxes. We send our kids off to school.” “We’re not as scary as some people make us out to be,” he added. And, support for the Adirondack Pride is growing, said Trombley. In little more than a month, planning for the festival has taken off, with the committee getting a “good response” to requests for donations and financial support. “We haven’t been able to get people as giving with us as they are with other organizations,” said Trombley. “But, what support we have gotten has been great. Especially from groups like Colleges for Change, who’ve really helped a lot.” Though Adirondack Pride had originally

we have some comedians that wouldn’t be appropriate for kids,” said Trombley. “It’ll be a wild show.” There will be no charge for admission to the smoke-free event. Proceeds from the 50/50 drawing and other donations will be benefit the AIDS Council of Northeastern New York and Elmore SPCA animal shelter in Peru, two organizations supported by the committee. “We really want people to show up to show their support and raise some money for some good causes,” said Trombley. Those interested in more information about the Adirondack Pride Festival may contact Trombley at 645-6407 or visit the event’s Web pages at www.facebook.com/adirondackpride or www.myspace.com/adirondackpride. Volunteers are being sought to help with setting up, operating and taking down games during the day as well, said Trombley. “We could definitely use a hand if anyone’s willing to help,” he said. “All they have to do is give me a call.”

The management at Cocktails in Morrisonville, however, welcomed Adirondack Pride with open arms. “They’ve been great,” said Trombley. “And, we want people to know we will be able to shuttle them to the festival for a couple dollars to cover the cost of gas if they need a ride.

To my patients and fellow medical providers,It is with great regret that we announce the closing of North Country Neurology. Difficult circumstances have led us to move closer to family in New Hampshire. Some of you are fighting insurmountable illness. You are our heroes. We will miss the rugged terrain of the Adirondacks and the delightful sparkle of Lake Champlain that are personified in the inner strength, Yankee no-nonsense and clever wit of its inhabitants. The office will be closed to patient visits and call after June 30, 2010. Every attempt will be made to schedule patients who may have had appointments scheduled after that time to be seen earlier. I remain available on a consultive basis to my colleagues until that time and will see new patients. No refills for prescription medications will be issued to patients not seen in 2010.

ay was a very busy month! The Annual Little League Opening Day is always well-attended and brings back many memories. My friends, Mike Perrotte and Steve Fuller, had their opening weekend at Airborne Speedway. Meadowbrook Nursing Home invited me to read a city proclamation to begin Nursing Home Week. I attended Mental Health Court graduation which was a sentimental affair. Executive director Maria Alexander and I arranged a walking tour for the media with Ron Nolland and Rick Perry on the progress of the Catherine Gardens project. My assistant, Beth Carlin, and I attended the Chamber Business Expo visiting and talking with the local business community. The New York State Conference of Mayors was held in Saratoga and I spent two days listening to statewide mayors and attending seminars. I attended the Plattsburgh State Gradua-
T
tion and as always this event is one of the most impressive of the year. I was also honored to attend the inauguration of John Jablonski as president of Clinton Community College. His leadership and vision are very impressive. As usual, I continue to deal with the daily complaints and concerns from constituents. I receive regular inquiries from interested developers which is positive. Personnel issues are also part of my regular routine which is very time consuming, but part of my responsibilities. Mayor ’s Cup & Regatta plans are moving forward. June appears to be a very busy month as well, but we take one day at a time in my office! I recently announced my decision to seek another term as mayor of the city of Plattsburgh. It has been a privilege and honor to serve the residents of Plattsburgh and I hope I have the opportunity to do so again.
he weather has been unseasonably warm and activity in the town of Plattsburgh has also heated up! We have begun to see a number of new projects come forward bringing with them continued optimism that we are on the right path for another season of economic growth and development. Every now and then I have people ask if we can sustain another gas station, restaurant, store, hotel, shopping center, etc. and if the growth and expansion of goods and services will negatively impact existing businesses. It certainly is a fair question and one that can be of concern for current business owners and their employees. The fact that we continue to add to our assessed property, either with a new home or a new business, is a great benefit for all who live in the town of Plattsburgh in a number of ways. Building our tax base helps control the cost of utilities and services that everyone must pay for. Sharing the cost of ambulance, lighting, water, wastewater treatment, etc. with new construction helps keep the cost down for everyone. It is also important to existing business

when a region has more to offer. Each new business creates a new reason to visit our community, another potential benefit for all. Yes, the traffic flow is also increased, and that can be frustrating to the rest of us, but empty streets would be far more frustrating! I have a new attitude toward visitors who might get caught in the wrong lane or be looking about while I’m trying to rush to my next appointment. Our tourist industry is an important component to our local economy and one that directly or indirectly impacts all of us. Finally, I always remind our business community that there are 3.6 million people within an hour ’s drive of Plattsburgh. I don’t think we need to worry about having enough customers or visitors. More important than competition, we need to continue to have a quality product and to maintain the warm welcoming nature that is typical of who we are. As always keep in mind the many wonderful opportunities to enjoy the region’s many resources as you plan your summer vacation. Too often we look for the greener grass and miss what many others are identifying as they choose to come to the Champlain Valley to shop, dine, entertain and spend some time! Drive safe this summer and plan family time on the Adirondack Coast!

Getting a head start on heart walk
Dozer Day this Saturday at Airborne Speedway
By Katherine Clark
Special to Denton Publications
PLATTSBURGH — The American Heart Association is hoping to raise big dollars to combat heart disease and stroke — through the annual Start! Heart Walk. On May 27, a kick-off party for the event brought teams together to share fundraising ideas. The goal for this year is to raise $165,000 for research — through sponsorship and community fundraising. To raise money, teams have been formed in the community and through local businesses. “Our biggest contribution comes from the walkers from community teams,” said AHA executive director Ashley Edwards. “The heart and soul of the walk are the people who are walking for very personal reasons; people who walk for a friend or family member.” AHA is working with corporate teams to help “create more healthy habits and lifestyles,” explained AHA senior regional director of communications Katherine McCarthy. Julie Rowe, team captain for the Pfire Walkers,

Rockin out for the Y to help provide scholarships By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com
PLATTSBURGH — At the Plattsburgh YMCA, no one is turned away for their inability to pay. This philosophy is why the organization now holds the music event, Rockin Out for the Y. Proceeds from the day are used for scholarships to be given out to those who may not be able to afford the membership at the YMCA. Last year brought in the Albany-based Irish folk band “Hair of the Dog,” which board president Rick Martindale says is “middle of the road,” for the audience it hits. “It’s a fun family-band,” he said. “In fact they just again got voted the most popular band in the Albany area.” Rockin Out for the Y will be held this Sunday, June 13, from 3-8 p.m. at the Naked Turtle, 1 Dock St.
The event will be expanded from last year with the addition of two more musical performers. Ben Bright, a local music teacher, now known for his stint on American Idol, will be performing at 3 p.m., followed by Hair of the Dog at 4 p.m. and Eat.Sleep.Funk, a “really good party band,” according to Martindale, will end the day from 6-8 p.m. “We really did want to make it a fun event for the family to come out,” Martindale said. With the support of sponsors and ticket sales, last year ’s event brought in around $9,000 to help support more than 100 families. “We’ve seen an unprecedented amount of scholarships,” said executive director Kevin Killeen. “More in the last two years than ever. This kind of thing helps us to be able to do that.”
Killeen explained there is a sliding scale for people “based on their income and any special circumstances that might come into play,” that will decide the scholarship they receive. “Nobody is denied program or membership because of their inability to pay,” he explained. This year has already brought in 18 to 20 sponsors, with a couple of them being a “top dog” sponsor, donating $1,000. Martindale explained another “handful” of businesses donated at the $500 and many donated at the $250 level. With more sponsorships offsetting the events costs, more money can be set aside for the scholarships. For more information about Rockin Out for the Y, call 561-4290. Tickets, which are $12 in advance and $15 the day of, with children age 12 and younger admitted free, can be purchased at Olive Ridley’s, the YMCA, and Naked Turtle. “Just come on out,” said Martindale. “Hopefully it’ll be a nice day.”
Golf classic still accepting teams LAKE PLACID — The United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. still has opening for teams in the 10th annual United Way Olympian Celebrity Golf Classic. The tournament, which will be held Thursday, June 17, at the Craig Wood Golf & Country Club, was originally organized by executive director of the United Way, Michael Mannix, who wanted to celebrate the Olympic heritage of Lake Placid. Like the golf classics of the past, each three member team will be paired with an Olympic celebrity. The day starts off with a continental breakfast and ends with a barbecue. All the proceeds go to help the 36 partner agencies of the United Way of the Adirondack Region. 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 the Web site at www.unitedwayadk.org.

Seven deadly burgers of Biblical proportions By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com
PLATTSBURGH — The simple act of adding a fried egg to a hamburger led Livingood’s owner and chef Matt Ray to create the Seven Deadly Burgers for his Margaret Street restaurant. Ray noticed in magazines fried eggs were beginning to pop up on hamburgers in places such as Australia, South America and England. “It just sounded good to me,” he recalled. “We made it and someone said something like, ‘That’s a deadly burger.’ It reminded me of the Seven Deadly Sins.”

“I just kind of put together different things I thought kind of represented those sins the best I could,” he added. Ray began with the Envy Burger, which includes the fried egg, as well
as American cheese, bacon, mayonnaise and a tomato. “I took me awhile to think about it, and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted one,” said Ray. From then on, he determined what
could be added to the typical burger to keep it in line with the other six sins — lust, gluttony, sloth, wrath, pride and greed. “I had some truffle oil sitting around, so I figured that would be a good one because it’s a pricey item,” Ray explained of the Greed Burger. “A little 8-ounce bottle is like $30.” Ray also figured mushrooms typically go well with truffle oil, so he added that, along with mixed greens and goat cheese. “I thought the goat cheese would be good because that’s kind of a highvalue item,” he said. For the Gluttony Burger, what is on the burger speaks to the sin — it’s just a lot of food. From two half-pound Angus burger patties, to two types of cheese, and extra bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise, Ray admits he doesn’t know how people are able to eat it all. The Lust Burger, which Ray has found to be the most popular of all seven burgers, was given its name due to the homemade “luscious” barbecue sauce. “That just seemed to fit with the Lust Burger,” he said. When Ray was trying to decide
what to put on the Sloth Burger, he imagined something that would exhaust the patron after eating it. Which led to the half-pound Angus beef patty is smothered in homemade chili and jack cheese. “We figured we’d make a really heavy burger that you’d need a nap after,” Ray said. With the Wrath Burger, Ray knew it had to be spicy — with jack cheese, diced green chilis and homemade habañero sauce. Finally, the Pride Burger was created. “My wife and I spent the better part of three or four years being vegetarians,” said Ray. “In that time I would encounter people who ... were very proud of the fact that they were vegetarian and that’s when I said, ‘Saving the world, one meal at a time.’” The vegetarian burger, made of black beans, also includes American cheese, avocado, lettuce and tomato. All meals come with a choice of spicy cole slaw, fresh cut fries or sweet potato fries. “I think we have some pretty eccentric things here,” Ray said of the menu. “From our beer to our food.” 55358

Hot Neon Magic in the air
the ‘burgh
ho doesn’t want to relive the ‘80s? The big hair, oversized sweaters and shoulder pads, legwarmers and a flare for everything neon — and, of course, the music. That’s where Hot Neon Magic comes in. The Burlington-based ‘80s cover band has been playing hits from the Reagan Era since early 2007. Consisting of Jeff Margolis on bass, Ornan McLean on drums, John Whyte on guitar, Liz Ottman on lead vocals, and Adam Rabin on keys, Hot Neon Magic has been all about breathing new life into the New Wave scene many have tried to forget but even more have tried to remember — and of which some have never let go. “We're not just musically-influenced by this period but, as you'll see, our fashion sense is heavily influenced by New Wave,” said Rabin. “It's funny to see the colorful style come back in vogue. We see kids all the time dressing like they hit a thrift shop but they probably just picked up their clothes at the mall.” Hot Neon Magic has been playing at Olive Ridley’s on a fairly regular basis, hosting shows every few months since
June 10-16, 2010
2008. What’s kept them coming back to Plattsburgh is something Rabin sums up in one word: “enthusiasm.” “People simply have a blast rocking and dancing to these songs we grew up on but never had a chance to see live,” he said. “There were so many memorable songs but they were largely written by one-hit wonders, some of whom never even played live.” “People forget that the early 1980s was such an adventurous time,” Rabin continued. “Punk, New Wave, synth dance and hard rock were all converging and each artist mixed those ingredients their own way ... We work hard to capture the sounds and the attitude of that period. It's not simply about knowing the chords and simply playing. We put on a show that is musically and visually a piece of the 1980s.” (Editor’s Note: Hot Neon Magic will be playing this Saturday, June 12, at the Naked Turtle. The show starts at 10 p.m. Follow the band and find a list of their upcoming shows on their Web site at www.hotneonmagic.com or check out their Facebook fan page at www.facebook.com/hotneonmagic.)

inations for newly-adopted animals, said Girardi. The overall generosity and support of the organizations, local media sponsor WPTZ Newschannel 5, and the Curtises is something Deyoe feels will help make a huge difference in the community. “I’m especially proud to see our owner and the company I work for putting this time and effort and their resources of their stores and employees to help all these pets get adopted,” said Deyoe. Pet-A-Palooza will be held at each of the Curtis Lumber locations from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Those filling out applications for adoption the day of the event will qualify for the $75 credit toward adoption fees regardless if the animals are taken home that day. For more information, including how to make donations to local animal shelters or volunteering, visit the Curtis Lumber Web site at www.curtislumber.com or call 561-2691.
of Pfizer Inc., was the top walker during last year ’s event, raising more than $4,000. “My father had died after complications of a heart condition, that’s why I got involved initially,” said Rowe. “The more I learned about the heart disease the more I got involved.” Rowe, who teams up with her coworkers at Pfizer, explained with recent cutbacks in the company her team hasn’t been able to raise as much money as in previous years. “It’s important to reach out to those individuals [who have] been affected by heart disease. Every little bit helps,” said Rowe. “Just because the economy is bad doesn’t mean there aren’t people who could still benefit from support.” This year ’s event will be held Saturday, Sept. 25, beginning at the City of Plattsburgh’s Recreation Department, 52 U.S. Oval. It will include a 3-mile walk along Lake Champlain or an optional 1-mile walk, and several other events. There will also be a moving tribute to survivors of heart disease, who will be given a red cap to wear at the event. For more information, or to take part in the Start! Heart Walk, visit www.plattsburghheartwalk.org. As of June 1, $47,016 has been raised through corporate and private donations.
