Ride to Remember this Saturday to help those with Alzheimer’s

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com CADYVILLE — When Kathleen Freeman thinks about her mother, the late Barbara Tobin, one thing comes to mind.

“She was never really crazy about me riding a motorcycle,” Freeman said, laughing.

And, even though her mother wasn’t sold on the idea, Freeman likes to think she’d be happy with what she and her fellow riding enthusiasts do each year with the Ride to Remember. The annual motorcycle ride — which raises money for the Northeastern New York Alzheimer ’s Disease Assistance Center — is held in honor of Tobin, who suffered from the degenerative condition until her death in 2005. This year marks the fifth

ride in her memory.

“Every year I get a little frazzled about this time,” said Freeman.

“It’s so much work, but the day of the event is the reward. It’s worth it seeing how many people support it.”

And, support it they do. Hundreds of people show up each year for the event and local businesses step up to the plate time and again with donations for raffles and auctions.

“We got tons of support this year from local businesses. They’ve just been great,” said Freeman.

Kneucraft Fine Jewelry was among the top sponsors for the event, donating $500 worth of merchandise to be given away. It’s support like that, said Freeman, that shows people

understand the importance of fighting Alzheimer ’s.

“There are so many benefits going on this time of year, so it’s nice to see they still find this is an important event,” she said. “Just about everyone you know, knows someone with Alzheimer ’s or some form of dementia.”

That thought was the inspiration for redesigning the Ride to Remember logo this year, adding the words “Someone you know needs a cure.” This year, the ride will also offer stickers for riders to wear that read, “I ride for _____,” allowing people to fill in the blank with a loved one’s name, said Freeman.

“I think my mom would be very happy that our family pulled together to do this,” Freeman said of Ride to Remember. “She would be glad we are taking what turned our family upside-down and turning it around to help other families cope with it.”

The 5th annual Ride to Remember will be

held at American Legion Post 1619, 219 Rand Hill Road, West Plattsburgh, this Saturday, July 10. The event will begin with registration at 9:30 a.m., with the ride to follow at 10:30 a.m.

Following the ride, at approximately 1:30 p.m., the post will host a barbecue, auction and 50/50 drawings. Performances by Angry Neighbors, Bootleg and The Jay Walkin Band will round out the afternoon.

The cost to register for the motorcycle ride is $15 per rider or $25 for a rider and passenger, which includes the price of the barbecue.

Those wishing to only enjoy the barbecue will be charged $10 each. The event will be held rain or shine.

Those interested in registering for the ride or in obtaining more information, may contact Freeman at 293-6496. Registration forms are also available at Lake City Choppers, 594 State Route 3; Caron’s Cycles, 40 S. Junction Road; and American Legion Post 1619.

Donations for the event are also still being accepted.

Seton principal accepts new position with diocese

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Msgr.

Robert H. Aucoin is embarking on a new path, and it’s one that involves saying goodbye to Seton Catholic Central School.

Aucoin has been assigned to oversee The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Mary in Potsdam and St. Patrick’s Church in Colton in response to the shortage of clergy in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg.

The assignment is bittersweet for Aucoin, who has spent the last four years serving as principal of the high school.

“What I’ll miss most is daily contact with people,” said Aucoin. “Obviously you have that in a parish, but it’s not exactly the same volume on a day-to-day basis. I’ll miss that interaction with the students, interaction with the faculty.”

“But, there’s a great need for priests in the parishes,” added Aucoin. “And, I felt that was a greater need right now.”

Heavy-hearted, Aucoin leaves

behind the accomplishments made at Seton in the past four years — which include improving the school’s academic record and firming its financial stability.

“I’ve tried very hard to raise the academic standards,” said Aucoin, who cited the school’s accreditation by Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools last December as an example. “We are the only accredited institution in this area, certainly in Clinton County.”

The value of a parochial school education, of which Aucoin has long been a staunch supporter, is something he feels people will continue to appreciate even after his departure.

“The focus in public education has certainly changed, even with No Child Left Behind,” said Aucoin. “The focus on success is measured in terms of what you achieve. We like to measure success, rather, in who you become.”

The underlying philosophy of the Catholic school system, said Aucoin, is “the development of the person in the image and like-

ness of God,” which, as he says, is the true barometer of success.

“That’s a hard commodity to quantify, but it’s a real commodity,” Aucoin said.

Though Aucoin is leaving, he’s not leaving behind the reins of Seton Catholic to a total stranger.

Catherine Russell, most recently a guidance counselor with the Crown Point Central School District, has taken over for Aucoin and is someone he knows quite well.

“I taught her,” he said.

Russell is a 1973 graduate of Immaculate Heart Central School in Watertown, where Aucoin served in roles as an educator and principal for more than 15 years.

“I’ve known her all these years ... She’s always had an affection for Catholic schools and taught in them when she was first out of college,” said Aucoin.

“So, she’s coming back to her roots, so to speak.”

“She’s very competent and knows education well,” added Aucoin. “I’m sure she’ll do very well.”

Msgr. Robert H. Aucoin makes final arrangements in his office before leaving his post as principal of Seton Catholic Central School. Aucoin has left to oversee The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Mary in Potsdam and St. Patrick’s Church in Colton.

PLATTSBURGH — State University of New York at Plattsburgh undergraduate Elizabeth Ryan is embarking on a twopart mission this summer.

Ryan, a nursing major, will study the status of the elderly in Plattsburgh, documenting their lives in film. Then, she plans to use the footage to see what people can do to help.

Ryan’s work will be supported by the Chapel Hill Foundation, which sponsors an annual fellowship that provides a SUNY Plattsburgh junior or senior with a summer stipend and tuition support for up to two semesters. The goal is to support student research into the challenges of an aging society.

For her project, Ryan plans to interview at least 20 senior citizens, 20 young people and four or five SUNY Plattsburgh faculty members who are experts in fields like nursing, philosophy and psychology. She will then work with James Heffron, a TV/video production major, to produce a video, titled “The New Age of Old.” “I’m going to find out what the aging population in Plattsburgh can do and what they can’t do, and, if there is a big enough problem with things they can’t do, then I will try to find a public policy to make everything better,” said Ryan.

Ryan became motivated to undertake

the study after conversations with her 99year-old grandfather.

“There’s so much to learn about him,” said Ryan, whose interactions with him made her think about the elderly from a nursing standpoint.

“When you meet a client or patient, you don’t really know about them,” she said. “But, I think that this project will help me see that and understand that a patient is not just a grumpy person in a bed. It’s a person with a lot of history and a lot of prospects.”

Because she was so motivated by her grandfather, Ryan said she would have embarked on this study with or without the funding. However, the financial support will enable her to concentrate more fully on the project, allowing her to be more independent and to finish it earlier.

“It is an unfathomable honor,” said Ryan. “I am so proud and thankful to the Chapel Hill Fellowship and to my mentor and teacher for the project, Dr. Beth Dixon.”

“Besides being an amazing experience to better understand my future career, it offers me the personal experience of moving out of my parent’s house,” Ryan added. “I really feel like I am growing up, and this project will give me such a great insight into growing older and growing up.”

State makes error sending penalty notices to taxpayers

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com ALBANY — If you’ve received a penalty notice in the mail from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance and were taken back, it may be because of an error.

Brad Maione, director of the public information office for the state Department of Taxation and Finance, confirmed the department recently issued approximately 9,100 penalty bills for missing wage information for 2009. Of that amount, approximately 20 percent were sent in error, affecting employers who filed a “NYS-45, Quarterly Combined Withholding, Wage Reporting and Unemployment Insurance Return”.

Maione said the error was made, in part, due to confusion over the department recently amending its form regarding employee wage and withholding information.

“Previously, we only contacted employers that neglected to provide this information if they have five or more employees,” explained Maione. “We recently amended that and if you have one or more employee and you don’t provide this information, you are sent a bill letter by the agency.”

The change was made for the department to be able to “gather more information to make sure these returns are accurate and

everyone’s reporting what they should be.”

That, combined with what Maione referred to as a “data entry and scanning error,” led to the mix-up, he said.

“We work with several vendors in terms of scanning, processing and keying in these returns,” said Maione. “In some cases, about 20 percent or so, issues or problems with keying in the correct information occurs.”

Steve Ewing, owner of Flightline Express, a small business which provides refreshments at Plattsburgh International Airport, was one of the 20 percent of people to erroneously receive a penalty notice. Initially, Ewing questioned whether or not he filed his tax paperwork in time or if there was some other error on his part. However, after speaking with his accountant, Timothy McCormick with McCormick and Deon, Plattsburgh, he found that wasn’t the case.

“It sounded more like a scam than it was an actual fine,” said Ewing. “So, we checked with Tim.” McCormick said he examined the NYS-45 he submitted for Ewing and compared it to the W-2 where there was believed to be a discrepancy and found the error to be on the part of the Department of Taxation and Finance.

“I didn’t find any discrepancy on our end, so I called New York State,” said McCormick, who said the Department of Taxation and Finance confirmed the error on

their part.

In Ewing’s case, he was levied a $50 penalty that was ultimately dismissed, he said.

“Imagine if 5,000 people — small business owners — didn’t know any different and they’re paying $50 a shot,” said Ewing. “It concerns me and I’m sure it concerns everybody else. We’re very fortunate to have an accountant that we utilize but some folks try to do their own books, so it’s even hard for some of them to understand some of this stuff.”

When asked if the penalty waged against those receiving a letter from the Department of Taxation and Finance was a flat fee or based on a percentage scale, Maione was unable to comment other than to say “each letter is different.” Maione did say, however, that if someone feels they’ve received a penalty notice in error that they should contact the Department of Taxation and Finance immediately.

“We’re always looking at our processes... to make sure that only people that should be billed are billed and those aren’t are comforted by the fact we’re here to help them and to rectify the situation,” said Maione. “If you get one of these letters and you believe you’re getting one erroneously, there’s a mechanism on there to contact the department ... if you receive a bill in error, give us a call.”

Memorial ride honors life of Dick Carpenter Event raises $4,500 for CVPH Heart Center

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — As Michael Carpenter looked at a sea of motorcycles in the parking lot of North End Harley Davidson, he couldn’t help but be overcome with emotion.

“It’s awesome. Just awesome,” said Michael.

It wasn’t a huge sale for the dealership. It wasn’t even a casual get-together for biking enthusiasts. It was a ride with a purpose — to honor Michael’s brother, the late Richard L. “Dick” Carpenter of Cadyville.

Dick was at hunting camp downstate when he suffered a massive coronary attack last December, claiming his life at the age of 58.

“Ryan [Dick’s son] and I were with him when he passed away,” said Michael. “It was hard.”

Linda C. Carpenter, far left, stands with friends and family who showed up in support for the first annual Dick Carpenter Memorial Ride at North End Harley Davidson in Plattsburgh June 27. The event was held in memory of Carpenter's husband, Richard L. "Dick" Carpenter of Cadyville, who suffered a fatal massive coronary attack last December.

However, out of their grief, Dick’s family and friends joined to put together a benefit ride in his honor last Sunday. The event took months of planning, with the help of friends Larry G. and Tammy J. Duquette, Cadyville, but was well worth the effort, said Michael.

“We’ve been working since February right on through ‘til now,” said Michael.

“He did a lot for this community and he meant a lot to people,” said Larry. “He did so

much for everybody around here and this is just one way we can repay it.”

Dick’s wife, Linda C. Carpenter, wiped away tears as she looked at the crowd of more than a couple hundred bikers. The 85-mile ride — which included driving by the Clinton Correctional Facility where Dick worked for 26 years — meant a lot to Linda, especially since she knew money raised would help the heart unit at CVPH Medical Center.

“He would be so proud and honored to know how many people loved him,” said Linda. “And, what better way to pay it back than to have the money go locally to [the heart unit].”

Dick’s daughter, Ashley Arel, said her father was smiling down on everyone as the weekend’s earlier cloudy, rainy skies gave way to a bright, sunny day.

“He’s here,” said Ashley. “He’s definitely here and he’s got a big grin on his face.”

Though the amount raised by the first annual Dick Carpenter Memorial Ride is still being finalized, Duquette said approximately $4,500 in donations was generated by the event.

“It feels good to be able to give back to the community for such a worthy cause in honor of one of my dearest friends,” said Larry. “He helped so many people while he was here and this way he will continue to do so for many years to come.”

Linda thanked Larry and Tammy for their support in Dick’s memorial ride and for their friendship over the years.

“Dick and Larry retired the same day from the prison,” said Linda. “We’ve been friends for years and we’ve been riding together for years. They’re our best friends.”

Those who missed the ride but would still like to make a donation in Dick’s memory may do so by sending checks in care of the Dick Carpenter Memorial Ride to the Foundation of CVPH, 75 Beekman St., Plattsburgh N.Y. 12901. Donations may also be made on-line at www.cvph.org and by clicking on the Foundation of CVPH link.

City and Town with Don Kasprzak and Bernie Bassett S

ummer has finally arrived with some good weather! School is out and summer vacations have begun. My schedule is busy all year long, but at this time of year, it seems to be busier with events and constituent issues.

Sunrise Rotary and the Mayor ’s Office held a press conference to announce entertainment and regatta plans. We announced a new Ianelli Spirit Award, which will be given to a community leader which best exemplifies the qualities of former Mayor John Ianelli. I am proud to be associated with this award and Mrs. Ianelli will be presenting it at the regatta ceremony.

I attended Media Day at Airborne Speedway, which is always enjoyable as Mike Perrotte and Steve Fuller do an outstanding job. My wife and I were honored to be part of the Hospice of the North Country ribbon-cutting ceremony. I had the opportunity to visit with the staff of the Nutrition

A

Program for the Elderly and then have lunch at the Senior Citizen’s Center. The Meals on Wheels Program is one of the most important programs in the North Country with wonderful people making and delivering the meals.

The first fishing tournament of the season was held and the Plattsburgh North Stars Football Team won their first game. I attended the Special Olympics Torch Run Event which is always special and was invited to the flagpole dedication at Pine Harbour, which was a very moving event for our military veterans. Without their commitment and dedication to our country, we would not be enjoying the freedoms we enjoy today. The Farmers Market is open and very busy. I always support buying local products.

As we move into July, summer activities will increase. Enjoy the warm weather and sunshine!

s usual, it has been another very busy month in the town of Plattsburgh. I always feel it is important to be “right out straight” as we say in the North Country and we have been “right out straight!”

It has been another month with new business and plans for construction that continue to move forward building our tax base and creating new jobs. I was pleased to join in the celebration for the first US Air flight out of the Plattsburgh International Airport. I firmly believe the larger plane with more frequent flights to and from our airport will bring more opportunity for all of us.

This month, we will have public hearings and pass a new local law to restrict the use of high-powered rifles on Cumberland Head. Over the past few years, the town board and I have been approached a number of times to address this issue. An everexpanding population on the “Head,” the new Connector Road that dissects the peninsula as well as an elementary school is sufficient for me to acknowledge it was time to take action. Hunting will be allowed, but the discharge of a high-powered rifle will not.

We have also addressed the organization of our ambulance service in the town. It is our goal to cre-

ate a new town-wide single district that will have the same tax rate and service for all town residents. The existing service providers are excellent, but there have been contract issues, which were also addressed by the Comptroller ’s Office, that will be resolved with a new RFP. The city’s effort to proceed with their proposal to reactivate the sludge treatment plant off Rugar Street is a topic that will occupy my attention until it is resolved. The past history of that project is one with many concerns. Most important, though, is the greater concern businesses and residents, in both the city and town, should not be subject to such a proposal. I am not convinced the latest design will bring any different end result than what the former process did. That region has great economic value and sludge treatment is not the right use for the property. The city’s motives are much more complex than simple sludge treatment and will not go without my commitment to preserve town property, the future economic growth of that region and the health and well-being of our residents.

Best wishes to each of you for a safe and enjoyable summer. Please keep in mind the many visitors to our region and, as you travel about, let’s give them a warm North Country welcome!

Annual bike race Seniors taking to the virtual lanes keeps people moving uphill

By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Each year gets bigger and better.

The Tour de Rand Hill 14-mile bike race will be held Saturday, July 17, beginning at 9 a.m., with proceeds benefitting the YMCA’s scholarships to Camp Jericho.

When the race began in 2005, there were only 10 participants, all men. Now, six years later, the number of participants has continued to increase, with women also taking part.

“You’re seeing faster times and more competitors because road biking has just really taken off,” explained race organizer Patti Warner.

The bike race begins at the YMCA on Oak Street, continues down State Route 374, then turns and heads up Rand Hill Road, ending near Camp Jericho in Altona.

“We have such wonderful support from the mayor, city police, state police, sheriff’s department, volunteers and the staff here and our sponsors,” said Warner.

Despite the rather difficult uphill ride, Warner has also noticed record times being recorded every year.

Last year ’s winner for the men was Bruce Beauharnois, with a time of 39:58.

“I had all I could do to get up there with my car [in that time],” laughed Warner.

However, not everyone participates in the race with the goal of winning. There is also a Fun Division for which people can sign up.

“We’ve always had a Fun Division so that people do not have to race it,” said Warner. “They can ride casually, enjoy the scenery, socialize.”

Others participate for their own personal goals.

Ron Nolland, the only person to take part in every race since it began, admits he is usually towards the back of the pack, but continues to do the race anyway.

Nolland took up bike riding as a way to stay in shape for spin class and said he “just became committed to it.”

“It’s a challenge,” he said. “Now it’s become a personal [goal] every year to do it and try to beat my time from last years.”

“For a lot of people to say that, ‘I went and rode up Rand Hill,’ is a big deal,” added Nolland.

Having been at the finish line every year to watch the bikers finish, Warner has found it doesn’t matter what place you finish.

PLATTSBURGH — It’s bowling minus the shoe rentals.

Every Wednesday, senior citizens meet at the Senior Citizens Council of Clinton County Senior Center to compete against one another and seniors from Lakeview Towers and Beekman Towers in a Wii Bowling league. And, it all started with a broadcast on National Public Radio.

“We were trying to interest seniors in the Wii and after listening to NPR, we learned there is a national seniors Wii league,” said Marcella White, program director of Clinton County Nutrition. “It costs a lot of money to register, so rather than spend $700 or $800 to be part of the league, we thought we’d make our own league.”

The SCCCC team was soon born, with weekly tournaments held at the senior center. Lakeview Towers and Beekman Towers joined in on the fun, hosting their own weekly matches with their scores recorded and compared with the SCCCC team to determine the weekly winners.

SCCCC program coordinator Jennifer Pavone said each of the seniors has a different technique. SCCCC bowler Joann Trudo moved with slow gentle movements of her wrist as she threw a strike during a recent match, while Bill Clark, another bowler on the SCCCC team, got a strike of his own using fast and full body movements, twisting like he was throwing an actual bowling ball. “[Wii bowling is] just like at a regular bowling alley ... you’ve go to be consistent, and it’s very hard to be,” Clark explained. “You’re trying to throw a strike, making sure you move over two notches, try to do it again. There are too many variables and you got to get them all together.”

“I think when you [Wii] bowl it depends on your day, because some days you can be really good and other days blah,” said Arleen Smith, an-

other Wii bowler on the SCCCC team.

Regardless of how they do, White said Wii bowling is “a positive senior activity” that provides for “good well-being nutritionally and socially.”

“It’s important as we age to remain active. Even people in wheelchairs

can play right alongside others,” said White.

Pavone agreed, adding she’d like to see more seniors become involved.

“If other facilities would want to get involved, we are always looking for more people just to keep it exciting,” she said.

‘Into the Woods’ opens at Clinton Community College July 16 PLATTSBURGH — Adirondack Regional Theatre will present a production of “Into the Woods” beginning Friday, July 16, at Clinton Community College, 136 Clinton Point Drive.

The Tony Award-winning story, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine, fractures the tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and the ever-present Wolf and Witch to bring new depth to characters.

What begins a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of "The Princess Bride" becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.

Jackie Robertin will serve as director while Karin Ryan will

July 10 1 - 6, 2010

serve as music director.

Show times for Into the Woods are 7 p.m. July 16 and Saturday, July 17, and 3 p.m. Sunday, July 18, and Sunday, July 25.

Admission is $10, with limited tickets available. Tickets may be purchased at the door and the customer service desk of Champlain Centre, 60 Smithfield Blvd.

Into the Woods is produced with public funds from the New York State Council On The Arts administered locally by the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts. The presenting sponsor is CVPH Medical Center and the host of the event is Clinton Community College.

Reflecting on half a century at CVPH

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — CVPH Medical Center recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of the first patient admitted to the Champlain Valley Hospital. Much has changed in the hospital’s history over the course of a century, and Fay Ashline can attest to that.

Ashline, director of the radiology school at the hospital, has been an employee there for 50 years.

“It’s gone by very quickly,” she said. “You don’t even realize how fast time goes when you’re busy. I’ve always been busy and I’ve always liked what I do. The time just flies.

It doesn’t seem like 50 years.”

When Ashline first came to the hospital in 1960, it was actually Physicians Hospital, with Champlain Valley Hospital located at what is now part of the State University of New York at Plattsburgh campus.

However, in 1967, the two hospitals merged, first on paper, then physically in 1972.

“During that time I spent two threemonth periods over at Champlain Valley, just getting to know the people,” recalled

Ashline. “It was just a learning curve to get two departments together.”

From then on, more and more changes could be seen throughout the hospital.

“All of the mahogany wood, all of that disappeared,” she said. “Everything was painted and changed.”

“I think the biggest change came with the cancer center,” Ashline added. “The open heart program is huge. For Plattsburgh that was a huge project and it certainly is paying off.”

In terms of the radiology department, where Ashline has been the director for nearly 40 years — and only the second one in its history — she’s seen many changes as well.

“We have just grown from one room to a huge department,” she said. “Adding CT and MRI and mammography. It just never stopped. It started to grow and it just continued.”

Other memories Ashline carries with her are from back when she actually lived in the hospital in the nurses residence.

“We had a house mother on the first floor and the doors were locked at 8 and 9 o’clock at night,” she recalled. “There was a lot of fun at the nurses residence.”

Fay Ashline, director of the radiology school, has worked for CVPH Medical Center for 50 years, the longest-serving employee in the history of Plattsburgh hospitals.

Some of the “fun” Ashline referred to included sneaking out and getting a drink at Meron’s down the road and sunbathing on the rooftop of the hospital.

“The pilots would go over from the airbase and they would call the central phone at the dorm at the nurses residence and ask who was out sunbathing,” Ashline laughed.

“They would ask if anyone was interested in going out that night.”

“It was a different time,” she added.

With 50 years under her belt, Ashline admits she’s deeply considered retirement and will decide after the first of the year what she plans to do.

“If you like what you do, you’re comfortable working where you are, you’re family is here, you have no need to go anywhere else,” she said.

Cheechako Taco under new ownership, restaurant to offer same great food

By Sarah L. Cronk sarah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — It certainly isn’t you’re ordinary taco joint.

Cheechako Taco, which celebrated its first year anniversary in May, offers food that is far different from national chains, according to new owner Jamse Ward.

“Everything we have is fresh,” he said.

“We make all of the salsa, guacamole, chicken salad ... every sauce or anything that you can get that is prepared here is fresh.”

Ward took over ownership of Cheechako Taco from Lori and Rick Liebowitz July 1.

When Lori Liebowitz first mentioned to Ward she was considering selling Cheechako Taco, he knew he wanted to buy it.

“It was a joke at first,” he recalled. “But, then when it became more of a reality, we said, ‘Okay, let’s do this.’”

Though Ward is excited about his new business venture, he said there are no plans to change the food, just enhance it.

“Plans for integrating organic food are in the works,” he said. “Because we want to try to do a special on organic beef and possibly chicken if I can get it from Conroy’s [Organics]. We also are going to offer vegan options shortly.”

There are some other changes that may be seen at the restaurant, located at 87 Margaret St. But, they are ones patrons will be happy about.

Cheechako Taco will now be open Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and hours will be extended from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays. Monday through Friday they are open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. as well. Ward is also considering the idea of a late night when college gets back in session.

They are now also delivering to anywhere in the city limits, with a $25 minimum order.

However, don’t expect to see a delivery

car heading up your driveway. Instead, you’ll see a moped, which Ward says gets about 100 miles to the gallon. Something important to the business.

“We try to stay green,” he said. “We recycle everything that we can. It’s small things like that that will make a big difference in the end for us and everyone else.”

Ward is also looking into more eco-friendly packaging and considering the idea of a hydroponic herb garden.

Healthy food options is one thing that

first drew Ward to the business.

“I was probably their most, or second most reliable customer,” he said. “Day in and day out since they opened. I love the food and it’s one of the healthiest things that you can eat downtown.”

“It’s one of the most affordable for the amount of food that you’re getting,” Ward added. “And variation. You can get something different everyday.”

When freedom of speech infringes on others

O

ften times, we print Letters to the Editor that go with little to no feedback. However, a recent letter from a reader was definitely not the case. In the June 26 edition of the ‘burgh, a letter from Mildred Hall of Mooers touched off a firestorm of feedback to our Web site.

The subject was on the recent Adirondack Pride celebration held in Morrisonville celebrating June as National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month.

Ms. Hall wrote a letter against the idea of the celebration and homosexuality, in general. We published the letter with mixed emotions but, as a publication that

represents our readers — all of them — we have to be a venue for your voices to be heard. Regardless if we agree with what they have to say or not.

That’s why I felt it necessary to offer some of the comments in response to Ms. Hall’s letter that were left on our Web site and one official letter that was sent directly via e-mail and confirmed with its sender.

In one comment left on our site, a reader wrote: “Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus even come close to saying anything about homosexuality. It was either by Paul, or in the Book of Leviticus, which is an old testament Christians don’t even follow. Christians live under the New Covenant of grace, which means ALL sins are forgiven if they accept Jesus as their personal savior, the basic funda-

mental of Christianity.“ Another comment reads, in part: “I’m as equally shocked and appalled that this Letter to the Editor even made it into publication. Especially since all it is going to do is breed hate.”

We hope that’s not the case. The idea of a Letters to the Editor section is to open topics up for discussion, as uncomfortable as they may sometimes be. And, by printing letters such as this and ones like the response by Erika Tourville, it demonstrates the starkly contrasting viewpoints of the people of the North Country. Once these viewpoints are clearly laid out onto the table, it is only then the opportunity for agreement — or civil disagreement — can happen.

Jeremiah S. Papineau is senior editor of the ‘burgh. He welcomes your feedback and may be reached via e-mail at jeremiah@denpubs.com.

Bigotry not the answer I am saddened to see a letter so full of intolerance published in the ‘Burgh.

Although I’m sure that Mildred C. Hall is not aware that she has made some very ignorant and hateful statements in the name of her God, I had hoped that the editors would act as a filter so that we would not have to read it.

Clearly she is misinformed about the transmission of AIDS through “sinful activities”. In fact, the reference to AIDS as a punishment from God brings to mind one Fred Phelps. Let’s “stop hate” as the city of Plattsburgh swore it would do years ago. Let us love our whole human family unconditionally. And let us not judge, lest we be judged ourselves.

Ms. Hall should stop listening to her doctor in Washington (that she referenced twice in her letter) on matters not medical. Instead, if she’s a Christian, she should ask herself what would Jesus do? I don’t claim to have the answer to that question, but I think it’s clear that spreading outright bigotry is not it.

Capital Region’s Moxie coming to town

By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

I

f you want to get your name out in the music business, you’ve got to have drive and determination. And, one band’s got just that.

The Albany-based band Moxie was formed in 2004 by friends Mike Cappadozy, who played lead guitar; Paul Borrello, who played drums; Chris Dukes on rhythm guitar and vocals; and Mike Thomas on guitar and vocals. The goal was to put together “a tight cover band to play for fun and a bit of money on the side,” said Dukes. The name was coined by Borrello, with the thought of describing the band’s “big sound in one word.”

“What separates us from the pack, I think, is that we have very strong vocals and top notch musicianship in one,” said Dukes. “Live music is a funny thing. It’s not just about being good at your instrument though. It’s also about how well the people on the stage communicate with each other and the crowd.”

The concert experience gets even more exciting, said Dukes, when the crowd “gives a bit of energy back to the band.”

“Moxie collectively has a certain magic about it when it’s firing on all cylinders and I think that people can hear and feel it,” said Dukes.

The band today consists of co-founders Dukes and Thomas along with Pete Vroman on lead guitar and vocals, Dave Teta on drums and Robert Booker on bass.

“If you were to Google all the names of the players in the

band, a number of different projects both current and old would pop up,” said Booker. “But, that’s the beauty of Moxie — everyone within the five piece bands brings their own swagger to the live performances and music and it gels together perfectly.”

Moxie has played together across the Northeast, but their first show in Plattsburgh was at the Naked Turtle back in May 2008. It was one the band really enjoyed, said Teta.

“We got a great response from that show,” he said, adding the band was asked to come back only a few weeks later. “Since then, we have been back at the Turtle and have played a hand-

ful of shows over at Olive Ridley’s.”

Though Moxie itself is successful, said Dukes, each of the band members works on their own side projects, proving each is “into the creation of music in general.”

“Mike Thomas is an accomplished songwriter and plays his songs within his shows ... Pete has also been known to write songs for his own recordings as well,” said Dukes, who even released a new solo album with Always Records Inc. called “Greater Than Me.” “We bring stuff we learn elsewhere to the table here, and it keeps it fresh,” said Thomas.

“Typically though, we keep original songs to our respective original projects and though we play them live from time to time, we haven’t had plans to make an album together as Moxie,” added Dukes.

The band is slated to play the Naked Turtle this Friday, July 9, with plans to have more shows in Plattsburgh this fall, said Dukes.

“We have recently slowed down our show schedule to make some room for our other projects, but we will be keeping when we are able to play updated on our Web pages,” he said.

Moxie can be found on Facebook and on MySpace at www.myspace.com/wegotmoxie. Video of their shows can also be found on-line at www.youtube.com/user/hendrixfreek.

(Editor’s Note: This Friday night’s show at the Naked Turtle begins at 10 p.m.)

Letters to the Editor (continued)

Equality for students at Oak Street At Oak Street Elementary children participate in a program designed in a way that has as many as nine out of 10 children wearing a badge that states “Membership has its privileges!” This badge is worn or carried by the student all day long for an entire month, yet to receive the card, which also identifies the student as “respectful, responsible and safe,” the student did nothing more than get all homework in on time and received no discipline referrals during the previous month.

So many children have the card that there is no reward and the criteria used to get the card could not possibly mean a child is safe, responsible and respectful. However, a child is clearly punished when he becomes one of the two or three in his classroom that visually stands out from his peers because he has no badge to wear and all the privileges are at his 2 Days We Supply The Bikes Road Test Waiver Option

expense. He can receive this month-long punishment simply by turning in one homework assignment late or getting one discipline referral during the previous month.

The adults in charge of my son’s school are all well meaning people, but what I am asking them to consider is that what they see has other sides that are actually negative, harmful and counter-productive to their goals for our children. Unfortunately, over the past two years I have exhausted every official way open to me to share and discuss my concerns so I finally spoke at the public comment portion of a school board meeting. Despite this being reported in a Press-Republican article and numerous people in our community telling me they share my concern, no one from the Plattsburgh district has initiated any discussion.
