More than 56 percent of voters approved the plan that included roughly $1.5 million in cuts, on top of the millions in reductions school officials have already made over the past few

The Adirondack Jazz Orchestra delivers By Stephen Bartlett
Peru students learn how to make change.
stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH – The music slipped softly into the room, grabbed you by the shirt and shifted your focus to the 19-member orchestra playing their instruments in front of you. It hits you before you realize it and your body gyrates, a steady thump-thumpthump in your belly. The horn snakes you side to side as the sound intensifies, until there is only the music, and it owns you, and that is all right, no worries, no past, no present, just the sound, a welcome master on a sticky Wednesday night. “The idea for an Adirondack Jazz Orchestra came about in late 2003, when I was finishing my last year at the Crane School of Music,” said Matthew Pray.

PLATTSBURGH – Clinton County is part of a North Country consortium that received $1 million to create a comprehensive smart growth plan for regional sustainability. The funds from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority are part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Cleaner, Greener Communities program. “This initiative is an important part of the implementation of our region’s economic development plan,” said Garry Douglas, president of the North Country Chamber of Commerce and co-chair of the North Country Regional Economic Development Council, in a press release. Representatives from Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, St. Lawrence, Jefferson and Lewis counties led the consortium. It will develop a smart growth plan that encompasses the North Country Regional Economic Development Council area. “This initiative gives each region the ability to identify projects that help
communities become stronger and more resilient, as well as promote and enhance local business,” said Clarkson University President Tony Collins, cochair of the North Country Regional Economic Development Council. Developing a comprehensive regional sustainability plan begins the Cleaner, Greener Communities program with an aim to provide resources each region can use to develop its own vision, goals and objectives for a sustainable future. The funding is expected to help the North Country ultimately reduce air, water and land pollution and improve quality of life through smart growth and sustainable development. The plan provides the opportunity to use emerging technologies and encourage entrepreneurs to create new jobs that sustain the environment. “The development of renewable energy such as biomass, hydro and wind is a key strategy, and the funding secured from NYSERDA will be the fist step toward defining and pursuing a roadmap for converting opportunity into economic progress,” Douglas said. Additional funding will eventually be available from the Cleaner, Greener Communities program on a competitive basis to implement projects that support goals of the plans. Projects must work toward carbon reductions, energy efficiency savings and renewable energy deployment while enhancing job creation, economic investment and development that is consistent
with the plans. “What’s attractive about this project is the emphasis on economic development along with the environmental benefits,” said Rodney Brown, deputy county administrator and planning director for Clinton County. “There are many business opportunities to explore in Clinton County and throughout the region, particularly related to alternative transportation and clean technology manufacturing. “We can train new workers and create new supply chains around these fields.” The Adirondack North Country Association and Ecology and Environment Inc. will provide consulting support, technical expertise and required reporting to the state over the eight month timeframe. “By harnessing the North Country’s green energy awareness, skills and supplies, we now know we can achieve complete energy independence, excluding transportation,” said ANCA board member Dan Mason, thedDirector of the North Country Clean Energy Conference. “People across the North Country have been working on these issues for nearly 10 years, volunteering time and resources to understand and develop plans for improving our energy economy and building more sustainable communities,” said ANCA Executive Director Kate Fish.

Clinton County Fair bigger and better than ever stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Soon, the smell of hot sausage, sounds of amusement-ride screams and the mind control of a master hypnotist will settle into Clinton County. There will be fried dough and country songs and the crunch of colliding metal under the hot, July sun. The fun starts July 17 and runs through July 22 at the 65th Clinton County Fair. “This fair is going to bring a lot of people in,” said Fair Manager Glenn Gillespie. For starters, on July 19, the Clinton County Fair features the 20-year-old, rising country-music star Hunter Hayes, who is currently touring with American Idol winner and country star Carrie Underwood. Hypnotist Michael Blaine is performing July 19-22, while the Beach Boys tribute band Surf ’s Up hits the stage July 17 and country-rock
band The Kentucky Headhunters performs July 18. The North Country’s Got Talent is returning too and will feature, singers, dancers, comedians and more. “People show up and qualify for the show,” Gillespie said. Contestants pay $10 to enter qualifying rounds at 7:30 p.m., July 18 and 19. If they make it through, they are invited to compete July 20, with the finale scheduled for July 21. “We have so many free, good acts coming in,” Gillespie said. “We have six daily free acts.” Free entertainment includes The Magic of Lance Gifford and Company, Masters of the Chainsaw, Pipsqueak’s Party Time clowns, and the Buffalo Barfield Show. “Our biggest day is Demolition Derby day,” Gillespie said. The demolition derby will be held at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 22.

The parking lots and grounds were tiled at the fairgrounds, which should prevent a repeat of the muddy mess in the past due to heavy rains. There is also work on a new sidewalk to prevent people from walking in the road and a digital sign that will be up before the fair. “I can generate that from my office,” Gillespie said. A mega pass is on sale until July 16 that costs $20 and is good for admission and free rides any one day of the fair week. They are available at Price Chopper in Plattsburgh and Rouses Point. “They need to buy that before the fair opens,” Gillespie said.

Stop quibbling at the expense of education
W
hen schools axe programs that, when available and running efficiently, positively impact gifted and struggling students; when they eliminate activities that benefit all students, especially those from poor families who, in general, would not be exposed to them otherwise; when athletics, music, art, foreign languages and field trips become luxuries; public education is underfunded. When community members cannot afford their mortgages and rents, when the choice is food or life-saving medications, when businesses locate somewhere more affordable, somewhere else, taxpayers are overburdened. One is not the fuel stoking the other ’s painful fire, nor is one the infection feeding the other ’s sickness. Still, you would think that was the case when some school officials grumble that taxpayers are unwilling to support public education, when in fact, taxpayers are simply unable to withdraw from a depleted account. And what about taxpayers, who are fed up with rising taxes and take their frustration out on public schools, which have been ravaged over the past few years due to soaring costs and inadequate aid and are reduced to running off survival instinct, a quality system suddenly becomes an endangered species. It’s not like there is no money out there, or at the very least, government officials willing to borrow funds for causes they deem worthy. U.S. efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan possibly total more than $5 trillion, yet the reasons behind the military actions have been widely questioned as have the outcomes thus far. There is the $700 billion TARP bank bailout in October 2008 under Bush and the $787 billion Recovery Act in February 2009 under Obama. Bush enacted controversial tax cuts, which Obama and the Republicans extended for two years in an $858 billion tax compromise. There were also hefty bonuses on the taxpayer ’s dime during a time when the average American struggled to remain afloat and punishment seemed more realistic than rewards.
Depending on the individual, one may support all, none or some of the above actions. Maybe you are fine with where the money is going, maybe you are not. What is clear is that it’s not being deposited into the education bank. In terms of federal spending, defense, social security, Medicare and Medicaid, safety-net programs and interest debt come before education. When considering spending as a percentage of the GDP, Cuba ranks first when it comes to education and the United States, while tied for first place with Switzerland in annual spending per student, is merely 38th in terms of spending as a percentage of the GDP. The latter ranking is the one that counts, as spending-per-student averages and subsequent comparisons are tricky unless all variables are considered. An array of factors can increase or decrease the cost of educating any particular student, and many of them are difficult to pinpoint. One thing that is apparently not under debate is that Americans want education and health care to be the government’s top spending priorities, according to a University of Chicago Study administered since 1973. Yet the federal government supplies only 3.5 percent of public school system funds, with state and local governments picking up roughly 48.7 percent of the tab and taxpayers covering the rest. That taxpayer percentage is higher in many North Country schools. In the end, it continues to appear that taxpayers are overburdened and public schools underfunded. Perhaps next budget season, when taxpayers and school officials grow desperate and angry, instead of each being blinded by their own pain, come together, determine where the priorities lie and demand the government listen.

Say what you mean; Mean what you say!
W
ith the primary season now behind us and a pre-commencement of political head bashing just getting warmed up, we now prepare for the next big thing in the election cycle, the conventions. With the state of grid lock growing even more locked in place with every passing day it’s hard to imagine how the fall election will change the negative attitudes coming out of Washington. As the partisan lines begin to stockpile their ammo and the talking heads try out their spin maneuvers to twist every detail to conform to their party position, I would like to draw your comparisons between two leaders to help us reach some conclusions. I think it only fair to compare the job performance in New York State of Governor Andrew Cuomo and that of President Barack Obama. Granted Governor Cuomo has only been in office half the amount of time as President Obama, but the outcomes seem a stark contrast. Let’s start at the beginning. President Obama said at his inauguration, “That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost, jobs shed, businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly, our schools fail too many -- and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time.” Governor Cuomo made three promises in his initial address to the public. “1. We need to clean up Albany and restore integrity. 2. We need to get the economy running and create jobs. 3. We need to stop government overspending and overtaxing.” He went on to say, “The real power of the Governor lies with the people of the state. Democracy only works when the voice of the people rings strong and rings true. I need you to help me. The State is at a crossroads. I believe the decisions we make, the decisions my colleagues make, this year will define the trajectory of this state for years to come. The decisions we make today will shape the state we leave our children tomorrow. ” Both Democratic leaders faced very similar
problems, during very difficult times. Each of us must come to our own conclusions on their results from their performance and the Dan Alexander promises they Thoughts from made good on. Behind the Pressline As citizens we should expect those candidates we place into office to do what they promise to do. Both men have spoken very clearly about their intentions and both have a record from which to be judged. Both made it clear that the job was immense, but both told us they were up to the task. President Obama went on the NBC Today Show shortly after he took office and said "If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition." Over the past 18 months, in my opinion Governor Cuomo has lived up to his promise to revitalize the state’s economy to create jobs and restore New York’s reputation as a worldclass place to do business. He did so by thoroughly redesigning the state’s economic development strategies, presenting and passing a budget on time and adopting an entrepreneurial model of government. He made it clear that the state and the private sector must work collaboratively toward a shared goal and most importantly he led the way without placing blame or making excuses. Everything hasn’t gone his way but he’s removed the ranker in Albany and they are working together and making things happen. It’s called leadership. Mr. Obama, I think you need to realize, you have not met your own vision of accomplishment and you would be wise to follow your own instincts by making this a one term proposition exactly as you stated, by allowing someone like Governor Cuomo or Secretary Clinton to step forward and carry your party’s torch in this election. Who is best served by another Obama term, Mr. Obama or the country? Three and half years has been enough time for me to see we can not afford four more years.

An unfair life and joy of human connections A
s I watched young graduates swimming in their dreams this past weekend, I recalled someone telling me if I need or want something, ask the universe and manifest it. I was given examples of when this worked. In fact, films and books, such as “The Secret,” recommend the same technique and provide testimonials. Maybe at times it works, but I can think of as many instances when individuals spoke to the universe and put in hard work and nothing happened, at least nothing positive. Does the universe not like them? I’ve asked people who subscribe to these mantras, and their response is usually, “They lack faith,” or, “They didn’t believe.” Yeah, that’s what it was. I’m not saying don’t manifest. If I want Spiderman boxers, I say, “When I own Spiderman boxers,” in conversation instead of “If I own Spiderman boxers,” because believing in yourself goes a long way. Still, the universe isn’t a magic box that dumps desires, and people who say otherwise,
even if they don’t mean it, imply that people not celestially blessed with a 57-inch plasma are not working hard, asking the universe in the appropriate tone or believing enough. Well, you can walk down the street enjoying the breeze and the blue sky and kick a stray cat, flip off the universe and spit on a homeless man before reaching home and snoring through sweet dreams and wake up to your sixfigure job and live a long, healthy life. Or, you can do the same, minus the kicking and spitting, serenade the universe before a breathtaking sunset, feed and shelter the homeless and during your sweet dreams a hole opens up in the ground and swallows you dead. Life is unfair and does not choose sides and young people should know that before the ones whose lives end up being a struggle are caught off guard and they think they must have failed. They should know that two people can work hard, blow kisses to the universe and attend college, and one can end up a millionaire and the other homeless,
Stephen Bartlett
From the Editor’s Desk depending upon which way the wind was blowing on any given day. Still, work hard and do the best you can with the tools you have and seek out the ones you don’t have. If you succeed beyond your wildest dreams, don’t think you’re special or better than others, because the true measure of people is how they treat others who do not benefit them in any way when no one who matters is looking, and titles and toys are
nothing more than things you’ve been told since you were little you NEED to make you happy. If life is a struggle despite hard work, don’t feel less than, because hard work does not guarantee success. But it says something about you that others listen to and appreciate. Howard Zinn said, “I’ve always resented the smug statements of politicians, media commentators, corporate executives who talked about how, in America, if you worked hard, you would become rich. The meaning of that was: if you were poor, it was because you hadn’t worked hard enough. I knew this was a lie.” I grew up in a big house and never wanted for anything material. Today, I drive an old car, live in an apartment, can’t afford to purchase a couple used kayaks this summer and wait until my running shoes are falling apart to replace them. Yet I am happier and healthier today. The media convinces us we NEED to get the things we NEED, and then we send off young people telling them they can do
whatever they want as long as they believe and later we don’t understand why there are so many medicated, depressed individuals drowning in waves of nervous breakdowns, self-appointed aging failures who lack what they NEED. I have a fiancé, son and daughter. I love and cherish them. A house on the side of a mountain in Vermont would be nice, and traveling the world sounds dreamy. But I do not need these things and I will not be a failure if they never happen. I learned that my dreams were realized when Darby and Samuel were born and Erica smiled under a sharp nose and happy eyes the first time she drove across the ferry. Every time I encounter a human being and our hearts smile, another dream comes true. I would tell graduates nothing is more vital than human connections, because that’s where true magic happens and the world is healed. Reach Editor Stephen Bartlett at stephen@denpubs.com.
Our life coaches, Style and Substance: advice on dating Dear Style & Substance: My brothers think I am not good at dating. I have had boyfriends and many guys ask me out on dates, but these relationships work for a while and then they don't work anymore. I am very committed to my career but I would like to have a happy, healthy relationship even though I am not ready for marriage. Where do I start? Dear Dating Dilemma, All healthy relationships are the same at the core: they make you content and satisfied the majority of the time. Being clear with yourself helps you to be clear with others, and in this case ‘dates’. To begin; you can start with defining happiness for yourself and then put it into action on the dating scene. Try to be more discerning up front, sooner, rather than later. You may not be ready for marriage, but it sounds like you are ready for LOVE! Clarify your "happiness" quotient - what basic qualities are most essential to your well-being? Is it honesty, movement and activity, compassion, intelligence, clever dialogue, humor? Make a list of those qualities that make you happiest in spending time with someone. While you’re at it, distinguish what things you spend time doing; work, leisure, recreation, volunteer work, community activities and time with family and friends. These answers will help you in finding a compatible partner. Compatibility is essential to a harmonious relationship. It can be as simple as energy levels or as complex as a personal worldview. Different areas of compatibility can include (interpret

and clarify, then add your own “areas”): Level of success; which can mean level of education, drive to succeed at work, hours and sacrifices you make for work over pleasure. Lifestyle comes into play; are you active, a homebody, always looking for something to do? Are you an inside or outside person? Do you make healthy or non-healthy choices? What do you like to eat; adventurous or picky? And so on… Family life; what practices would you like to continue from the way you were raised? What would you like to change? Do you want children? Spirituality and religion; do you need a partner with the same beliefs and practices? The future; who will you become and who will this person most likely become? This is a big question, as very often we are struck by charisma and chemistry, paying no regard to who you both might be in ten years. Pay attention to warning signs, when your mind is telling you, “Oh, oh!” Trust your gut and instincts to gently say, “No, thank you”. Here are some great warning signs that we have heard from clients (go ahead and add to this list!); • When you end up “training” someone in many areas to be a better boyfriend or girlfriend • When they are not “into” your friends and family, whom you really enjoy spending time with • When they only have YOU in their lives • When there seems to be some addictive tendencies
Michele Armani and Sally Meisenheimer • When your friends and family raise concerns about your girlfriend or boyfriend Don’t settle for less or talk yourself into someone because you think you “should” have a partner. That is not to say that you should only accept perfection, as people (yourself included!) are interesting because of their idiosyncrasies and quirky qualities, which make them endearing and unique. It is up to you to decide what you can and cannot tolerate in a relationship! Above all, be gentle and honest with yourself and your dates….Good luck!

Breaker ment. However, he has slowly acclimated to shelter life and has begun to show his softer side. Underneath his anxious exterior, Breaker is really just a big love bug! This handsome fellow really needs someone who can treat him with some kindness and respect... purrhaps that someone is you?

City and Town with Don Kasprzak and Bernie Bassett J
une was a busy and very hot and humid month! Warm weather brings new local events and many outdoor responsibilities for our city employees. I had the privilege of attending two Memorial Day Events. My first visit was to Post 20 and the second later that day was to the Veteran’s Park at the US Oval. The events were special and emotional and I was proud to be invited and in attendance at both. The Lois McClure visited the area for a Saturday and Sunday at Wilcox Dock and the public had the opportunity to board this historic vessel and speak with Art Cohn, who I have known for many years, and his staff. I attended the Red, White, and Blue event at Momot Elementary and the students did an outstanding job as usual. The Chamber Business Expo at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse was a huge success and I enjoyed speaking with so many of our local business owners. I visited Airborne Speedway and, as usual, thoroughly enjoyed myself as Mike Perrotte and his staff always do a great job.
City business was also busy in June. We held Mayor ’s Cup and Fourth of July meetings with the involved departments. I am looking forward to these great events. We met with First Niagara representatives to review the city health care programs and claims. I had a meeting with several Farmer ’s Market board members to discuss some issues. I dealt with resident concerns involving chickens in a city neighborhood, dog p**p problems on Dock Street, grass growing and garbage issues, as well as so many other concerns. I met with the new Executive Director of The Development Corporation, Paul Grasso, who is a longtime friend who will do an outstanding job in this position. The Horicon Museum is now empty and the city will decide on its future after we clean up the building. We continue to face challenges but with the summer here I am confident good things will happen! Thanks and everyone have a great July! Don Kasprzak is mayor of the city of Plattsburgh.
Summer concerts scheduled The NCCCA Arts Center presents Girls Guns and Glory as the first in the annual Jumpin’ in July concert series.

J
une ushered in the start of summer, children home from school and summer projects and plans for families. We also began our summer programs and projects. Repairs from spring flooding and Hurricane Irene are nearly done with only one small project, at the East Morrisonville Recreation Park, left to do. The Bucks Corner Road culvert is ready for paving and soon the road will reopen for those who normally use that connection to Route 3. The Highway Department has been very busy but the weather worked with us this spring and they were able to finish sweeping our roads ahead of schedule. Soon they will begin this year ’s paving program. Our Water Wastewater Department has also been very busy with routine maintenance and responding to emergency call outs. Much of our infrastructure is beginning to age and is in need of replacement. The WWW Department is also beginning to investigate ways to increase our water supply. Growth brings new demands on the existing well system. During dry periods there is an increase in use and that lowers our tank levels. We must serve today’s needs and also plan for increased demands from new homeowners and new businesses. In June there were a number of exciting announcements of new businesses coming to the Town. We are pleased that our tax base continues to grow and pleased with the opportunity to play a role in the creation of new jobs. That growth keeps our Planning
and Codes Departments very busy while also managing the day-today needs of their office. Again this year I welcomed the Relay For Life teams to the Clinton County Fair Grounds. The teams work long and hard to help make a difference in the battle against cancer. Their efforts to remember, celebrate and fight back are remarkable! Last month I also participated in the JCEO Dozer Days but, for the second year in a row, I was denied the right to bring the Golden Shovel back to my office. Maybe next year will be my year! I am very pleased with a number of new initiatives that have begun. Phil Vonbargen has organized a Complete Streets Steering Committee and our Micro Enterprise Grant program has announced the schedule for training sessions. Those sessions are for interested entrepreneurs and small businesses that want to expand. In June we had our first committee meeting of local leaders to begin our goal to write an economic development master plan for the Town of Plattsburgh. This plan will help guide our future decision making to enable us to have a sustainable community that supports economic development and job creation. On a personal note, our family celebrated the wedding of my daughter Jessica. We are very proud of her, our son-in-law and their new life together. Bernie Bassett is supervisor of the town of Plattsburgh.

Plattsburgh High School graduates savor youth, move forward By Stephen Bartlett
stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — No one is perfect, Plattsburgh High School Principal Glenn Hurlock told the graduating Class of 2012. But strive to be the best you can be, he followed the above statement up with. Also, be resilient, and in those low times turn to your human connections to help get you through the day. “This is an important day for our graduates, our families, our school and the Plattsburgh community,” Hurlock said at the 2012 commencement at the Plattsburgh State Field House. More than 120 graduates, dressed in black caps and gowns, entered the Field House to shout-outs, whistles and hand clapping. They smiled, fidgeted, high-fived, joked and stared blankfaced as they prepared for their final high school rite of passage. “The whole concept of graduating is conflicting in emotion for graduates, parents and the school,” said Superintendent James “Jake” Short. Graduates and parents are excited but also worried about what the next year will bring, he said. They wonder about jobs, college roommates and boot camp. To parents, Short said, the job is never done. “Once you are a parent, you are always a parent.” Etienne Beguin, the class valedictorian, reminded everyone that graduates
showed up to classes, listened to lessons and completed homework assignments. But their high school experience soared beyond academics. “We have been part of an organized society.” He further pointed to the changes the students have experienced, including The Great Recession, which significantly impacted their community and school district. “However, we have power and will make better the world we inherited.” Salutatorian Elliott Munger compared four years of high school to Nicolas Cage films. “Both had ups and downs.” But ultimately, like the films of Nicolas Cage, life is all right. Senior speaker Parker Carpenter said every morning he woke up looking forward to high school. The classroom supplied him with knowledge, he said, and the hallways gave him wisdom. “This has been our home for the last four years,” Carpenter said. “There is a part of all of us that will miss this place.” But the class of 2012 is at a point when it must move on. This is the starting line of a new journey. Carpenter pledged in 10 years, at the reunion, to remember the names of every graduate sitting at the ceremony. They are part of his family. “We are all up that mountain now. Don’t back down.

Keep going up. I promise you, the view will be amazing.” The lights dimmed as a slide show appeared on the wall accompanied by the music of Dave Matthews. Take my hand ‘cause we’re walking out of here Oh, right out of here, love is all we need, dear The space between what’s wrong and right Is where you’ll find me hiding, waiting for you The space between your
heart and mine Is the space we’ll fill with time The wall filled with images of friends, in and out of the classroom, filling the space between school’s beginning and end as another song echoed through the Field House: But whatever road you choose I’m right behind you, win or lose Forever young…
Local business celebrates 20 years of fashion and consignment Customer appreciation day set for today
PLATTSBURGH — Fashion Exchange Consignment on Boynton Ave has been consigning and selling clothing to and from some of the most exciting closets in the area for 20 years. This locally owned and operated business opened in 1992 by Lois Lynch with the help of her husband's business expertise. The current owner, Lois's daughter, Peg Tucker, began ownership in 2006 after working as store manager since 1998. Fashion Exchange takes in brand new and like new, high end clothing and accessory items from their ever growing list of Consignors. These items are sold to their shoppers at prices of 25 to 30 percent of their original price. The consignor then in turn gets 40-50 percent of the selling price depending on the value of the item. Consigning of goods is a benefit to both parties and great for the local economy as essentially all of the proceeds go back into the local wallets and then into lo-
cal economy. Tucker says she is grateful for all the local support for all these years and hopes to continue to provide this service to the community for decades to come. “We have so many great customers and consignors. We certainly would not be here if it were not for them,” she said. Also voted "Best in the Burgh" by our readers. Fashion Exchange will be having a customer appreciation celebration and sale on Saturday, June 30.

One car motorcycle accident kills rider By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com CHAZY — A Chazy man died after a motorist performed a U-turn in front of his motorcycle on Route 9 near Reynolds Road, on June 20. At about 8:11 p.m. a 911 call was received that James D. Wilson, 26 of Chazy was headed northbound on his Honda motorcycle just a few yards behind Carol Guindon in her
Subaru Legacy when Guindon executed a U-turn in front of the motorcycle. Wilson’s vehicle struck the Subaru near the back tires on the driver ’s side. Wilson was instantly ejected from the bike and was pronounced dead on scene. Guindon, and a rear passenger in the vehicle, Nancy Bourdeau of Brainville, Quebec were transported to CVPH Medical Center and then transported to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington due to her injuries, where she is listed in
critical condition. Two other passengers in the vehicle were uninjured. The accident is being investigated by Chazy- and Plattsburgh-based State Police, who are being assisted by the Troop B Collision Reconstruction Unit. The Clinton County District Attorney's Office has also been advised and are assisting in the investigation.

By Stephen Bartlett
stephen@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN – A couple of years ago, Dr. Maurice Racine met Dr. John Rugge, the latter a physician and CEO of Hudson Headwaters Health Network. Raccine wanted to ensure the future of primary care upon his retirement and sought a conversation with Rugge about the long-term future of his medical practice in Champlain. “He had heard about us,” said Tripp Shannon, spokesperson for Hudson Headwaters. “We have a network of health centers in the
with primary and dental care and behavioral-health services. “I believe Dr. Racine is the only physician north of Plattsburgh, and everybody is looking to grow primary-care services in the Northern Tier,” Shannon said. Racine and his staff will become employees of Hudson Headwaters, which plans to hire a second physician, though that process could take more than a year. The nonprofit organization with 14 health centers will convert the private practice into a community clinic and make some minor renovations to the building. A larger, replacement clinic could be constructed in the future. Those plans could begin with a

ELIZABETHTOWN — Matt Doheny of Watertown won the Republican primary Tuesday, June 26 against challenger Kellie Greene of Sackets Harbor and will face incumbent Rep. Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) in the fall election for the newly established 21st Congressional District. Unofficial results late Tuesday night had the vote tally at 8,577 for Doheny and 3,396 for Greene, according to the Associated Press. “For the first time since former Congressman John McHugh left to become Secretary of the Army, we have united the Republican, Independence and Conservative lines,” Doheny said. This is a rematch for Doheny, but one that is less complicated. In 2010, Doheny faced Owens in a close election for the 23rd Congressional District (which was recently redrawn, expanded and renamed the 21st Congressional District). Yet Douglas Hoffman, who lost against Doheny in the Republican primary that year, still tallied 6 percent of the votes on the Conservative ticket, even though he didn’t campaign. “Voters here will have a clear choice between two competing visions for America. I believe in the fairness of opportunity — that if you work hard, the American dream is still within reach. I want to go to Washington to remove the roadblocks that keep us all from being successful, such as the excessive regulation and taxation that convince our job creators to avoid risk, sit on the sidelines and not grow.”
In the race for U.S. Senate, Manhattan attorney Wendy Long won the Republican primary over Bob Turner of Rockaway and Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos. Long will face Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) in the fall election. Two Independent Party candidates, Michael Craft and Scott Noren, are also running, as is Green Party candidate Colia Clark. Clinton County: Doheny received 787 votes and Greene tallied 200 for the congressional race. In the Senate race, the votes were: Long, 533; Turner, 265; and Maragos, 136. These were unofficial totals as reported by the Clinton County Board of Elections. Essex County: Doheny received 623 votes and Greene tallied 243 for the congressional race. In the Senate race, the votes were: Long, 584; Turner, 166; and Maragos, 55. These were unofficial totals as reported by the Essex County Board of Elections. Franklin County: Doheny received 293 votes and Greene tallied 117 for the congressional race. In the Senate race, the votes were: Long, 234; Turner, 161; and Maragos, 41. These were unofficial totals as reported by the Franklin County Board of Elections. Warren County: Doheny received 1,015 votes and Greene tallied 384 for the congressional race. In the Senate race, the votes were: Long, 781; Turner, 367; and Maragos, 140. These were unofficial totals as reported by the Warren County Board of Elections.

SARANAC – To Sara LoTemplio, she only walked through Saranac High School’s doors as a freshman yesterday, tripping up the stairs and spilling her books on the floor. She thought she’d never escape the place. As the years progressed, she figured she already knew English and history had already happened. As she wondered what she was learning, that question was answered during one of her life-altering trips with the North Country Mission of Hope in Nicaragua. A group returning from an orphanage told of the children’s dormitories, where they discovered a roof decaying due to sulfuric acid in the air from a nearby volcano. LoTemplio suggested galvanizing the roof, or rather, covering it with a type of paint to protect the tin. “As they continued, I quietly realized that I had just used what I learned in chemistry in real life,” said the Saranac High School Class of 2012 Salutatorian, speaking to a large crowd at Plattsburgh State’s Field House. LoTemplio was 1 of more than 130 graduates celebrated by family, friends, faculty, staff and Saranac School District community members.
The crowd stood, cheering as the graduates entered, men in red and women in black, cameras flashing all around them as they walked up the middle of the room and took their seats. After 13 years of homework, rehearsals, practices, tests and classroom rules, graduates of the Class of 2012 have finally earned their rites of passage, said Superintendent Kenneth Cringle. In doing so, he continued, the graduates inherited the responsibility of making the world a better place. Cringle stressed that they have been given the opportunity to become the greatest generation. He further reminded them that no exercise is better for the human heart than reaching down and helping another person. When Valedictorian Alexis Racette took the stage, she highlighted the importance of being yourself, and followed that by announcing, “I happen to be a nerd.” She went on to quote Star Trek and Harry Potter. Our individuality keeps us open minded and helps us grow over time, she said. Racette stressed the importance of maintaining that individuality. “We all have the potential to amount to so much as long as we are not afraid to face the future,” she said, before turning again to a popular culture reference. “May the odds be ever in your favor.”

LoTemplio, while in Nicaragua, learned something about the odds being in her favor when she discovered real-world uses for what she learned in school. “Suddenly all the doors started flying open for me.” History became a tool to learn from past mistakes and build a better tomorrow, and English provided the ability to adequately convey ideas, feelings and passions to the world. Even math morphed into solving the problem before her with maximum efficiency and logic. “The greatest thing I learned in high school was how to learn,” LoTemplio said. “Looking around at my fellow classmates, I see a lot of people to learn from.” LoTemplio said her school brims with exceptional people, such as athletic all-stars, entertaining actors, creative and passionate artists and talented musicians. “We have so much to learn from each other if we only keep our eyes open for the lesson,” she said. “Take in as much as you can, because not only have I realized that I won’t be in high school forever, as I once idly thought,
but we won’t live forever, either.” LoTemplio ended by urging her fellow graduates to
ask themselves every day what they want to learn and what they want others to learn from them.

Change makes change stephen@denpubs.com PERU – Raelyn Passino gazed over the silent wave of blue and white and asked, “Do you remember that first step onto the school bus, kissing mom and dad goodbye?” “Do you remember middle school, when you carried extremely oversized backpacks?” “How about freshman year?” You only live once, said Peru High School’s Class of 2012 valedictorian, and time moves continuously. This is a time of enthusiasm for what comes next and a time of sorrow for what is left behind. “I challenge you to make high-quality use of your time.” Last-minute arrivals scrambled for a seat and loved ones rushed to take pictures as the graduates entered from the corner of Plattsburgh State’s Field House. Some smiled as they walked, others looked around for familiar faces, at least one had Captain America shields in each ear, and a few appeared blank-faced, as if in shock the moment had arrived, something that had once seemed so distant suddenly in their faces and all too real. “Just four years ago, we were freshmen, and senior year seemed so distant and out of reach,” said Salutatorian Emily Betrus. “Over the past 13 years we have gained a substantial amount of knowledge.” The learning does not end here, she said. It is just beginning. That journey has not been without its tragedy. Early last year, Frederick Schaefer died after a battle with cancer. The Peru teacher and school administrator left behind a wife and three children and was remembered for his sense of humor, strong spirit and uncompromising integrity. Then, in November of last year, Brandon
Sorrell and three other students lost their lives in a car/pedestrian accident. The Peru teen was remembered as generous, giving and possessing a large heart. Both were remembered at Peru High School’s 75th commencement. Interim Superintendent A. Paul Scott, who retired but came back to assist until the new, permanent superintendent takes over, commented that he had observed the class of 2012 for more than a decade. He’s watched as they’ve learned about fractions, geography, evacuation drills, regents exams and how to make good choices. He urged the graduates to keep their eye on the road ahead, and while it is all right to look back in the mirror, do not dwell on it. The future, Scott said, is theirs to create. “You are not kids anymore,” said School Board President Roderick Driscoll. “You need to get started with the rest of your life.” Today is not the finish line, he told them, but the starting line, and they should put their heart into whatever they decide to do. Guest speaker, Peter McCormick, asked them who helped them pack their parachutes? He wanted to know who stood by their sides, helped them and carried them through a crisis. He said they should identify those people, take care of them and thank them. As High School Principal Christopher Mazzella stood in front of the packed room, he relayed that the year ’s ongoing theme was change. The students watched the clip of a homeless man with a cup that read, “change.” When people dropped money into the cup, he bought coffee for another homeless person, donated it to a sick child and helped a runaway girl get home. “The change is a metaphor to create positive change in our school and world,” Mazzella said as he looked directly at the class of 2012. “I hope you are going to make great change.”

years. The district can move forward now, though the next step this summer includes changing the master schedule and handing out layoff notices. “The budget has passed and we are able to move forward and avoid deeper cuts,” said Superintendent James “Jake” Short. “But it didn’t come without sacrifice.” Over the past few years, Plattsburgh City School officials have cut roughly $6 million in response to rising costs and inadequate state aid. Those reductions have impacted course offerings, at-risk and gifted students, athletics, summer work and more, and have resulted in layoffs in faculty, staff and administration. The district’s first 2012-13 budget totaled $38.3 million and carried a tax-levy increase of 5.8 percent, which was above the cap of 3.01 percent. Voters defeated that plan 1,365 to 729. The second budget totaled $37,812,744, which was 1.53 percent lower than the current spending plan. It carried a tax-levy increase of 2.84 percent and called for roughly $1.5 million in reductions, including reduced sub pay rates, education technology, summer curriculum and guidance work, high-school after-school programs, field trips, athletics, maintenance and custodial, Odyssey and dropout prevention. The budget eliminated 15 instructional and five support-staff positions in areas such as English, math, social studies, engineering, monitor, groundskeeper, custodial, nursing and teaching assistants. If this budget had failed, the board would have been forced to adopt a contingency budget, which would have meant no
increase in the tax levy and more than half a million dollars more in cuts. A total of 56.7 percent of voters approved the budget. “I voted yes,” said Suzannah Chatlos, who was out of town during the first budget vote. She believes people should exercise their right to vote and is a strong supporter of public education. She attended Plattsburgh City School and directly benefited from some of the programs that were reduced or eliminated. “I understand we are in a tight place financially, but I didn’t want anything else cut.” Short felt people defeated the first budget, not necessarily because they do not support the school system, but because they are frustrated with the tax burden. He believes people responded positively to the budget that just passed. “In the face of natural cost increases and decreased state aid, we had to lower our year-to-year expenditures.” Unfortunately, it does not appear the financial issues that public schools face will change anytime soon. School officials must remain sensitive to the needs of taxpayers as they move forward, Short said. The next few years will be equally, or possibly even more, difficult. In terms of the budget voters approved and the coming school year, Plattsburgh City School must live within its means, Short stressed. The district often faces changes, such as a new student moving into the district, sometimes on a monthly basis. If those changes result in increased costs, Plattsburgh School officials will have to make further reductions. “Business will not be the same as it has been in the past,” Short said. “Any increase will have to be met with a reduction.”

Big Boy Bass T
he tournament season is in full swing on Lake Champlain and the Big Boys of Bass fishing are coming to town. The FLW Tour ’s final Major event of the season will be hosted on Lake Champlain by the city of Plattsburgh and the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau By Howard Hammonds with a lot on the line as some of bass fishing’s top names vie to overtake Lynchburg, Virginia’s David Dudley for Angler of the Year title. Anglers are also competing to qualify for the Forest Wood Cup, the FLW’s championship, and the grand prize of $125,000. With the unseasonably warm weather in the North Country the competitors face a different lake than in past tournaments. Normally, coming to Plattsburgh in mid-June the bass would still be on spawning beds. Many local fisherman report the spawn has come and gone, however. And most bass have entered their summer patterns. What this means to the competitors is the weight of fish caught will be down with the result being mere ounces determining positioning on the FLW leaderboard. The loss of one big fish could mean the difference between winning and losing, or a big check and no check at all. For those not familiar with tournament bass fishing, competitors can weigh in five fish per day with the leader determined by the heaviest weight for their five fish. After four days of fishing the winner is determined by the most weight for up to 20 fish. Tournament fishing in the North Country has become a controversial topic. Fish kills, high speed boating and whether fishing for cash is sportsmanlike at all are subjects being debated. The reality is that there is very low mortality among fish caught during tournaments. Because of the dead fish penalty imposed by the tournament rules great care is taken by tournament anglers to keep their fish alive. Tournament anglers use live wells on their boats along with chemical additives to keep fish alive. A dead fish can not only cost the competitor points but a great deal of cash. High speed boating? The first question I am asked by the casual observer is why do I need a 21-foot boat with a 250 horse power motor that runs 70 plus mph. The answer is real simple: the time I save between fishing spots the more time I have to fish. Moreover, I have been involved in tournament fishing for 26 years and know of only two deaths, and neither of those had to do with speed. Just like a race car driver, when you’re running the wide open spaces of the lake you’re paying close attention to what’s going around you. I really think it’s a lot safer on Lake Champlain at 70 mph than interstate 87 at 65 mph with big trucks passing me at 75 mph. Why fish for cash at all? Just the nature of sports, keep score and sooner or later people are going to want to keep score for money. But, the sport of bass fishing is a big business and has a large impact on local economies. Three hundred competitors coming to the North Country, buying gas, staying in motels, eating meals becomes an important financial plus for local small businesses. Get a firsthand feel for the sport this weekend. The FLW Tour weigh-ins will be conducted at the Plattsburgh State University field house with a Fun Zone for kids from noon-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. You will have an opportunity to meet the pro fisherman, a chance at samples and giveaways, and can play interactive games hosted by the fisherman all sponsored by the various companies involved with the sport, especially Walmart. I’ll be there, hope to see you.

Ahhh ... summertime
T
his is the time of the when it appears that everyone, and everything, is on the move. Cars and bikes are on the highway, while paddlers and boaters are on the water. Hikers have returned to the woods, as drivers and bikers precariously share the roadways. It is an especially tough time of year to be on the road, as many of the region’s highways are finally getting much needed facelifts following last year ’s flood. It is always a curious balancing act that plays out about the same time every year. Families are celebrating High School graduation as the tourist season hits the ground running with festivals, races, reunions and more. With the arrival of July 4th, friends and relatives always try to visit, and the summer season is finally hitting on all cylinders. Although I don’t really need any reminders of the season, I experienced a most pleasant nudge last week that served to rumble up some pleasant memories. It occurred along a small stream, as I was paddling back home, after a long day spent fishing up-river. I had paddled as far upstream as possible, and in my enthusiasm to continue casting to the readily rising trout; I lost track of time. I had been absorbed in the moment, and in a moment it was dark. It wasn’t a long trip back, paddling with the flow, but with the evening growing increasingly closer, I put down the rod and took up the paddle. The stream’s banks are lined with a nearly impenetrable tangle of tag alders, and surrounded by a mix of swale grass hummocks and a very muddy and murky bog. It’s not the kind of place to walk out of easily. Once I got beyond the tunnel of alders that shrouded the upper sections, the stream opened up a bit. The stars were in the sky, and I could make out the course of the stream ahead, but it was still very dark, and nearly black on the water. With the paddle, I gingerly reached ahead trying to stay in the middle of the stream. Without being able to focus on a point of reference, I was off kilter, and off balance. But then, almost as if someone had flicked a switch, the lights came on. Slowly at first, but with increasing frequency, as I made my way further downstream, and out of the alders and into the grassy banks. The stream banks were illuminated with the steady blinking of lightning bugs on both sides. In the muggy dusk, after a long day on the water, the lights appeared as if someone had strung a string of lights through the grass. The scene stirred childhood memories of family trips to visit my grandparents in Poughkeepsie, where lightning bugs always seemed to be out in force on the hot, muggy evenings along the Hudson River valley. Whenever we would visit, one of our uncles would send us out to collect them in a big, glass jar. And he always paid us a handsome price, too, ranging, he claimed, on the going rate. He would take as many bugs as we could supply, he once explained, because he later resold them to General Electric. Even though he was our favorite uncle, as kids,
we were convinced he was getting rich on our hard work. “I’ll bet he gets paid a dollar for each one”, my older brother once complained. “Let’s just go back inside.” Fortunately, I never paid much attention to him; I just kept on chasing fireflies. I have come to realize that in a way… I’m still chasing them, even if the focus of my quest is no longer fireflies. I continue my search with the enthusiasm of a child, for that is, after all, the purpose of outdoor recreation. It provides us with a renewal of spirit, and the pleasures of redoing and renewing the enjoyable moments of our past. We may see it in the starry night sky, or hear it in a cricket’s chirp, feel it in the wind on a breezy Adirondack mountaintop, or taste it as a freshly picked raspberry. If you can no longer find it, taste it or smell it, it may be time to quit searching. If you stop the chase and just sit still for a while; it will find you. Happiness is a feeling, and like a dog chasing its tail, good feelings are difficult to catch. But, like a tail, if you stop chasing it it will still follow you wherever you go, It’s summer, a season that was once considered the most fleeting of them all. Take the time to ride a bike, climb a tree, jump in the lake or take a hike on a forest trail. Summer is more about a sense of place, than a sense of season.
