jgrybos@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — T en years after the World Trade Center towers wer e destroyed in a terrorist attack, SUNY Plattsbur gh marked the day with a somber cer emony wher e most speakers called for peace. Max Marsh is a student from Long Island who lost a relative in the attacks. His cousin, Vanessa O’Connor was working at the towers, in her mid-twenties and pr egnant, when the planes hit. Though he was only in grade school, Marsh said the event has effected him greatly. “It surprises me how I get choked up whenever I think about it,” he said. Marsh estimates that he was in the fourth grade when the towers wer e attacked. The class had just recited the pledge of allegiance to begin the day, and one of the teachers kept returning to the class and CONTINUED ON PAGE 10 PLATTSBURGH

Shoppers learn about Battle of ‘burgh through Storywalk By Jon Hochschartner

PLATTSBURGH — Shoppers may have r ecently seen educational prints about the Battle of Plattsbur gh in stor efront windows on City Hall Place and Bridge Street. The prints ar e part of a historicalthemed StoryWalk with the Battle of Plattsburgh as the subject matter. Diane Sabourin came up with the idea for the StoryWalk after reading about similar projects in Vermont. A StoryWalk installs, i n s ome m anner, p ages o f a c hildren’s book along a popular path so pedestrians might r ead it while they stroll. When Sabourin began looking for a children’s book about the Battle of Plattsburgh, the only one she came acr oss was one recently created by fourth-graders at Cumberland Head Elementary School, ti-
tled “The Battle of Plattsbur gh: Did You Know?” Sabourin took the original artwork from the book and enlarged the text, placing the resulting prints in storefront windows from Sept. 8 to Sept. 12. CHES Art T eacher Shannon PicheSmith was the leader of the book project, applying for and receiving a grant to fund it through the Adirondack Arts-in-Education Partnership. “We wanted an opportunity for Cumberland Head fourth-grade students to create a book for kids to learn about the Battle of Plattsburgh,” Piche-Smith said, adding ther e wer en’t many r esources about the 1812 conflict aimed at a younger audience. She and her students began work on the book in January of this year. Two speakers from the Battle of Plattsburgh visited the school. One was dressed in period costume and another gave a period music
performance. At the time, ther e wer e four fourthgrade classes at the school. Each class focused on a dif ferent Battle of Plattsbur gh related topic, whether it be famous people, naval battles, ships, or the land battle. Pairs of students were responsible for a page in the book each, r esearching a subtopic, compiling a list of facts, then creating a corresponding visual. “The artwork itself, it’s just beautiful,” Piche-Smith said. The finished book was published in June. “It exceeded all of my alr eady very high expectations,” Piche-Smith said. “The kids were excited. They learned so much information and they provided a resource for future teachers and students.” To r ead a digital version of the book, visit http://www.blurb.com/books/2267673.

Burgh Editorial
‘Online first’ a news priority
W
hen our publisher, Dan Alexander, told his editors that life in the newsroom would change dramatically when we launched our new websites — all 24 of them — he wasn’t kidding. And then he said something that didn’t quite sink in until the switchover finally took place Aug. 2 6, j ust i n t ime f or t wo h istoric news events, the Lake Champlain Bridge ar chlift and Tropical Storm Irene. He said, “We are no longer a newspaper organization, we are a news organization.” Daily newspapers are already in “news organization” mode, as are radio and television stations, and they have known for years the importance of uploading br eaking news to their websites as it happens.And the public — with an ever-growing appetite for digital news — expects the most up-to-date news on demand. If people feel an earthquake, for example, people want to log on to their local news website and find out what has just happened, ASAP. And if the story is not ther e, they’ll move on to another news website until they find the story. The goal of a news organization today is to be the first website people turn to for news of importance to them. For weekly newspapers, the news pace has traditionally been much dif ferent. We’ve had a week to r eport and publish the news, not hours or minutes. Weekly newspaper editors and publishers have been trying to set their products apart from dailies for well over 100 years. Then radio edged into the news market, television followed, along with 24-hour cable news channels, and the Internet blew the news business wide open. Our society now demands instant gratification. For weeklies to r emain in business, they must continue to be relevant to their readers, in print and online. That’s a delicate balance, and it’s an ongoing str uggle between the online-savvy cub reporter — who grew up with a Bluetooth device in his ear — and the hardnosed news veteran — who banged out stories on typewriters with a cigarette behind his ear. The bottom line is both pr oducts have to be special enough to attract r eaders and consumers. Consumers? Yes, in today’s news or ganization, it’s not enough to attract r eaders to a news website. Today’s news consumers want a multimedia approach to storytelling. That means wor ds, photos, video and audio. Luckily , our new websites have these features, and we are taking f ull a dvantage o f t hem w ith o ur s torytelling. When our r eporters cover events, we now
try to get photos for slide shows and video. W e also have the opportunity to put str eaming audio files and podcasts on the sites. We’ve recently been having great fun trying to get br eaking news online befor e our competitors. We want to be “online first” or “first online” because we want you to know you can rely on Denton Publications and our sister news groups — New Market Press in Vermont, Eagle News Group in Central New York, and the Spotlight Newspaper Gr oup in the Capital District — to bring you breaking news that is important to you. Here is a sampling of r ecent news stories posted on our websites before anyone else: •At 6:00 a.m. Aug. 26, two minutes after the Lake Champlain Bridge ar ch began leaving Port Henry for Crown Point, we had the story online. Within an hour, we had a photograph uploaded. By the end of the day , we had a video online and another story. The next day, we had a 10-photo slide show of the move and another story. We couldn’t p rint the stories and photos until the following week, but we were able to bring you the latest news with our websites, before anyone else. •On the morning of Aug. 29, minutes after State Police said they had found the first of two women’s bodies in the Great Chazy River, we had the news online. Plus we later had video interview of an eyewitness. •At 10:52 a.m. Aug. 26, we posted the online story of Sophie Clarke, a W illsboro High School graduate who is on the new cast of the “Survivor” television show . (It’s a mystery why the Pr ess-Republican printed, “W e had this first online at 5:30 p.m. yester day,” in its Sept. 13 edition.) We even had the story in two Valley News editions befor e the PR had it “first online.” •At 11:29 a.m. Sept. 12, while Gov. Cuomo’s press conference was still in progress, we were the first to post news online that Route 73 between Keene V alley and the Northway was open. We take pride in giving you the news in print and online and telling those stories in a variety of ways. And we ar e confident mor e people will notice our transition from a weekly community newspaper group to a multimedia news organization that continues to focus on local news.

Insects can be friends, not foes
W
hen most people think of insects, bad ones come to mind. Fortunately , the vast majority of insects in the world ar e not pests and because every pest has a predator, many insects are beneficial. Beneficial insects ar e insects that help your gr ow healthy plants. The most commonly thought of beneficial ar e the pollinators such as honey bees. But, there is a group of insects that either eat or parasitize unwanted gar den pests. Knowing how to attract those beneficial insects to the garden is important. The first step in attracting beneficial insects to the gar den is to stop using pesticides. These chemicals do not dif ferentiate between the good and the bad bugs. Be patient. If your peppers have aphids, give the ladybugs time to find the smorg asbord, eat, mate, lay eggs, and let the ladybug larvae continue to pick the plants clean. Planting an insectary in or near the garden will help attract the beneficial bugs to the neighborhood. An insectary is a garden plot or section of the plot dedicated just for the insects. The gar den can be a landscape bed right near the gar den, or several small plantings interspersed among your current flowers or veggies. Flowers such as fennel, yarrow, and dill, and composite flowers, such as daisies, cos-

mos, and zinnias, ar e two important flower shapes that attract insects who, in the adult phase, feed on nectar and pollen but whose larvae are voracious pr edators and parasites. Some of these insects include hoover flies, lacewings, and parasitic wasps. Low cover is important for ground beetles that feed at night on slugs, cutworms, and root maggots. This cover can be low-gr owing herbs, mulch, flat stones, or boar ds. Taller plants are important for pr edators such as stink bugs and praying mantids. Many times these large, predatory insects hide so well in the tall plants, that we don't even notice they are there! Like all living things, beneficial insects need water. This need can be met by simply placing a water -filled saucer with some rocks in and ar ound it in the gar den. Most of these insects have wings and will move out of the garden if water is not available. With some time and an understanding, even the most bug-squeamish gar deners can come to appr eciate the importance of beneficial insects and biodiversity within the garden!

Elmore SPCA requests continued support Also, town assesses Irene damage
By Jon Hochschartner jonh@denpubs.com
PERU — The Elmor e Society for the Pr evention of Cruelty to Animals asked for continued financial support fr om Per u during the town board’s Sept. 12 meeting. “We wanted to do the outreach now,” Elmore SPCA’s Webmaster Laurie Parsons
said outside the meeting. “It’s not going to be long — they’re going to be thinking about their budgets for 2012. I’m sur e they alr eady are.” Peru pays the animal shelter $6,474 for its services each year , Elmor e SPCA Board Member and Secr etary Car ol Solari-Ruscoe said. “We like to try and, if we can, h old th e l ine, b ecause we understand that towns are in a bind as well,” Solari-Ruscoe said. “(But) we are a business. If we can’t
make our expenses, wecan’t stay in business.” The Elmore SPCA takes in stray animals. “We do the intake,” Parsons said. “W e do evaluation. We do the car e, handling. W e do everything from that point.” Elmore SPCA pr ovides services to six towns and one city, including Altona, Black Br ook, Dannemora, Peru, Schuyler Falls, Ausable, and City of Plattsburgh, Solari-Ruscoe said. Parsons said Elmor e SPCA is r eturning in early
Applefest From page 1 parade and performances by local musical groups Castaways and Back Porch Band. On Sunday ther e will be a barbecue, a performance by local band Bootleg, and a grand prize and quilt drawing. “There’s a lot of local food served at this thing,” McBrayer said. Applefest is one of a kind. “It’s the only community event in Peru now,” McBrayer said. “The other one was the fir eman’s field day which was canceled a few years back.” The weekend is a big event for the local Catholic church.
“I think it’s one of the largest single fundraising events for St.Augustine’s Parish,” McBrayer said. The event raises an average of $20,000 to $25,000 for the parish every year, according to McBrayer. “We should raise about the same,” McBrayer said of his expectations this year. “A lot of it hinges on the weather.” Vendors at the craft sale ar e expected to sell a diversity of items, including etched glasswar e, alien plush toys, candles, birdhouses, crocheted hats, fleece pillows and dolls. Applefest is sponsor ed by a lar ge number of area businesses.

The r eal impact of the event didn't hit him that day, but its significance has grown. O'Conner's mother, Donna Marsh, is a ro le model, said the student. When protests against a planned mosque near gr ound zero were h eated, t he v ictim's m other s tressed t hat a cceptance and peace were far more important than ideological battles. Marsh said he knows he's not the only one who feels the effects of the tragedy. “It's not just me, everybody has their own story ,” said Marsh. Congressman Bill Owens read from the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, which opens, “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.” Owens visited New York City two weeks after the attack. Ground zero was still smoldering when he arrived. The law firm he worked for lost five people in the towers. The most telling moments of the event's ef fects came to him during his flights. On his way in and out of New York following the attacks, there were no more than three passengers on his planes. It's important to pay our respects and understand the significance of the attacks nationally and globally, he said. “It's changed all our lives,” said Owens.

Student Association president Prajwal Shah was a student in Darjeeling, India when the towers were attacked. His first alert was at two in the morning, when the dorm ward burst into everyone's rooms exclaiming that there was a bomb blast in the U.S. When he first saw the images on television with the other students, he thought it must have been an accident.

City and Town with Don Kasprzak and Bernie Bassett T
he month of August brought some hot and humid weather . It is also the time of year when summer is ending and fall begins. This change brings home grown vegetables, apples, cooler weather, and Battle of Plattsburgh activities. The PSUC students r eturn and our summer work involving paving projects, sidewalk work, and mowing will slowly change to other r esponsibilities. We have begun our 2012 budget work which will be very challenging due to the new T ax Cap legislation. We will do our best to keep tax and utility rates stable as possible. I attended the Battle of Plattsbur gh pr ess confer ence and am continually amazed at the ever growing list of events each year. I have always said this is the premier event in the North Country. I was appointed to the North Country Regional Economic Council and attended a meeting in Potsdam which hopefully will result in new development projects throughout the entir e North Country. The Lois McClur e docked at W ilcox Dock and pr ovided public tours of the 1862 class sailing canal boat led by a good friend of
mine, Art Cohn. City staff and I continue to meet with FEMA representatives attempting to finalize funding for flood damages. Although this is a work in progress and I appre ciate FEMA staff efforts, I am extremely disappointed that no individual assistance funding was given to North Country r esidents although Vermont r esidents did receive funding. I continue to address the daily constituent pr oblems, concerns, and complaints. This and personnel issues are the part of the job which actually take mor e of my time than the public r ealizes. Some day I should write a book on what I have seen and dealt with all these years as an ald erman, a NYS Parks regional director, and mayor! It would be interesting reading! In closing, my favorite month is September and I am looking forward to all the wonderful weather and events in the fall. The challenges in City Hall are always there regardless what month it is. We will continue to do our best for the residents of the North Country! Don Kasprzak is the mayor of the city of Plattsburgh.
I
t is amazing how quickly we ar e r eminded of our limitations and the power and fury of Mother Natur e! Once again we have had our patience, determination and resources challenged. This year, mor e than any in r ecent memory, we have faced obstacles and challenges that few are ever really prepared to encounter. Once again, North Country emergency r esponders and neighbors came together to do what they could and what was necessary during and following Tropical Storm Irene. Our volunteer fire departments were especially h elpful d uring t his i ncident. T heir work helped make it possible for town highway cr ews to get out and begin their work. Utilities wer e also sever ely taxed during this time but they too focused their efforts and r estored services in a timely manner. The challenges have varied fr om home to home and business to business but, again, we will go on and embrace our future with even greater determination. It has been a most trying year with our
regional needs and recovery efforts as well as the economic challenges many continue to deal with. Though it is often dif ficult, the town of Plattsburgh will continue to work to build our futur e, invest in our infrastructure and make decisions that will benefit existing homeowners and businesses as well as attract new business to our municipality. W e must bring “things” back to the way they were befor e this most r ecent weather incident and keep our focus on a better future. Hopefully, my next writing will be done without having had another weather related issue of this magnitude. Still, as I listened and watched the many challenges other municipalities are facing in the North Country and across the country, I am again reminded what a very special place we live in and how fortunate we really are! Remember, our childr en are back in school so please drive car efully during morning and afternoon commute. Bernie Bassett is the supervisor of the town of Plattsburgh.
