MORRISONVILLE — WhenKaren L. Newton learns of a horse inneed, she’s always r eady and will-ing to help.

Most r ecently, Newton — ownerof the horse boarding and riding les-son business T amarack Stables —learned of one such horse thathad been neglected by ownerswho “simply couldn’t afford totake care of her,” Newton said.

“She was given to a goodfamily, but the husband could-n’t work anymore and couldn’tafford her food,” explainedNewton. “The people wer e ac-tually not abusive to her ... butthey wer en’t feeding her . Shewas awfully thin.”

Newton was put in touchwith the family by one of thehorse’s former owners, and itwas arranged for “Taylor” to besurrendered into Newton’s carea little more than a month ago.

“These people gave her upwillingly, but they should havegiven her up months ago,”Newton said.

When Newton arrived to pick up

Taylor, she could tell the animal wasmalnourished.

“It wasn’t until we got her homeand took a closer look at her that werealized just how skinny she was,”said Newton.

Other than being slightly dehy-drated and lethar gic when she firsttook her in, Newton said T aylor ’sextremely low weight had not yet

created any other health concerns.Taylor, who is a thoroughbred,should weigh somewher e ar ound

1,200 pounds, said Newton. WhenTaylor stepped on the scales, sheweighed only 974 pounds.

“She was in pretty rough shape,”Newton said. “I honestly don’t thinkshe would have made it through thewinter if she had stayed wher e shewas.”

Dr. Olivia Cashman, with Eagle’sNest Veterinary Hospital in Platts-

burgh, agr eed. Cashman wascalled upon by Newton to ex-amine T aylor and was takenback by the animal’s state of se-vere emaciation.

“You could see every rib, herbackbone, pelvic bone. Ther ewasn’t a very good covering offlesh over those ar eas,” r e-called Cashman. “And, it’s allbecause she hadn’t had propernutrition in so long.”

“She’s very lucky Karen tookher in when she did,” addedCashman.

Since being under Newton’scare, Taylor ’s weight is up toapproximately 1,033 pounds.Though promising, Taylor stillhas a long r oad ahead, saidCashman.

“It’s pr obably going to take awhile for her to get back to a goodhealth,” said Cashman. “Y ou don’t

want her to gain weight too fast. Asteady pr ogression to a pr operweight is better.”

Cashman estimated it will be atleast “a couple months” until Tayloris at the right weight for her br eedand in stable physical condition.

“She still has a couple hundr edpounds to go,” Cashman said.

The most important thing, New-ton said, is that T aylor is alr eadyshowing signs of improvement.

“After she started getting food inher system, she started perking right

up and acting like a normal horse,”Newton s aid. “N ow, s he’s p urringwith the other horses and whinny-ing — acting like she should.”

“Knowing that she’s doing a lotbetter and that she’s going to beokay makes me feel good,” sheadded.

(Editor’s Note: Newton added thatTaylor’s road to recovery may also be aroad to new family as she has r eceivedinterest from a girl interested in adopt-ing her. We’ll keep our readers posted onwhat Taylor’s future has in store.)

Tell state lawmakers: Stop SUNY budget cuts. Take action!

“You think you’re cutting costs?

Your cuts cost me my future.”

“No one told me that SUNY budget cuts would mean I couldn’t afford to stay in college. I didn’t plan on

it taking five or six years to graduate.

“But with larger class sizes, fewer professors and canceled courses, that’s exactly what’s happening. And it isn’t just me. SUNY is

maxed out.”

SUNY has already lost $585 million in the last two years. It can’t afford to lose any more state support

Facts: T Threats to cut another $100 million in state support would mean a 30% reduction in SUNY’s operating budget

T SUNY has lost 1,300 faculty since the 1990s.

T 26,000 more students attend SUNY’s four-year schools than did 15 years ago.

T Several state-operated campuses have suspended admissions in key subject areas.

TOKYO — When an 8.9 magni-tude ea rthquake s truck t he i slandnation of Japan, it was an experi-ence Dr. Lauren Eastwood will nev-er forget.

Eastwood, an assistant professorof sociology at the State Universityof New York at Plattsbur gh, wasvisiting Tokyo with a friend whenthe earthquake ripped through thecountry Mar ch 1 1. The two wer etouring the Imperial Palace whenthe solid ground turned into some-thing that felt “like being on a shipin rough waters.”

The experience of the earthquakeitself was one that caused a mixtureof shock and awe, Eastwood said.

“[It was] tr ulyamazing andfrightening tofeel as thoughthe gr ound iscompletely un-dulating under-neath you to theextent that it isdifficult to stand,” she said. “Luck-ily we were out in the open, but theoffice buildings were visibly sway-ing.”

That particular area of Tokyo hadexperienced much building con-struction in the last 30 years, East-wood said, r esulting in buildingsbeing up to code r egarding earth-quake safety.

“There was very little str ucturaldamage wher e I was,” Eastwoodsaid. “A portion of the r oof of oneof the palace buildings fell of f, but

the tile is very old, so I didn’t thinkthat things wer e as bad as theywere.”

“I think this is part of the reasonI didn’t r ealize how much damagethe quake had caused in other ar-eas,” she added.

There was no warning for theevent, as far as Eastwood could tell.

“I didn’t hear any sir ens or any-thing until after the quake,” shesaid, adding the city’s earthquakewarning system, ironically, was be-ing tested at the airport when shearrived two days before the quake.

“So, I had thought about the pos-sibility of an earthquake — butmostly in passing,” she said

Though a cataclysmic event thathas r esulted in a death toll in thethousands, the reaction of the gen-

eral public duringthe quake wher eEastwood w as v is-iting was one of“controlled chaos,”she said.

“The Japanesesociety is very dis-ciplined and order-ly, which absolute-

ly helps in situations such as this,”Eastwood said, adding it was “veryclear” people had been trained howto respond to an earthquake. “Thehigh-rise of fice buildings wer eevacuated very quickly — even be-fore the second quake hit.”

Most people Eastwood saw h addisaster kit backpacks that con-tained hard hats and appeared to begoing to specified meeting places.

“My friend and I didn’t know ex-actly what was going on, so we be-

gan to walk since the public trans-portation was shut down complete-ly,” Eastwood said. “People wer etrying to use cell phones, but theyweren’t working. Also, the publicphones were down as well.”

In a city of 14 million people,where most r ely on public trans-portation, the lack of trains madethings “very complicated” withmillions ending up walking homefrom work, she said.

“I walked about 30 kilometers,”said Eastwood, who headed fr omImperial Palace to Kichijoji, thesuburb of Tokyo where she wasstaying. “ It t ook m e a lmost s evenhours — and I was not alone ... Itwas mor e cr owded than I couldever imagine, and at one point I wasbeing moved along by the cr owdwithout the capacity to change mydirection even if I had wanted to.That was a little frightening.”

When Eastwood got back towhere she was staying, it was thenshe first saw the r esulting damagereported on the news.

Though Eastwood was expectedto be back in the U.S. by the timethis newspaper went to print, be-fore she left, she shar ed the eventwas “a frightening experience” butshe was “very impressed with howwell prepared the Japanese ar e forthis sort of disaster.”

“It is clear that the magnitude ofthe quake was extr eme, and ther ewas significant damage that is stillunfolding,” she said. “However ,there would have been much mor edevastation i f p eople h adn’t b eenso well prepared.”

Lights … camera ... action. As ofApril 1, New York state will give itscitizens the right to r ecord open

meetings with a variety of media. As part of Sunshine Week — celebrated

the third week of March (March 13-19, 2011)each year to r emind r esidents about theirrights under the Open Government Laws —we are excited to have some actual news toreport about those laws, rather than simplyhitting readers over the head with the sameold line about “Your Right to Know.”

Yet, here we go again. It’s our duty to re-mind citizens that they are guaranteed cer-tain rights under the Fr eedom of Informa-tion, Open Meetings and Personal PrivacyProtection Laws. And there is a gr oup un-der the New York State Department of State— the Committee on Open Government —responsible for overseeing those laws andadvising residents about them. During histenure, the Committee’s executive director,Robert Freeman, has become a best friend tonews organizations looking for fr eedom ofinformation o pinions, w hich a re l isted o nthe Web site: www.dos.state.ny.us/coog.

The Committee reminds us that in March

2010, state lawmakers passed legislationduring Sunshine Week amending the OpenMeetings Law to allow people to photo-graph and record these meetings:

“In short, the courts have determined thatanyone may record open meetings, so longas use of a r ecording device is not disr up-tive or obtrusive. Those bodies will bestatutorily required to allow meetings to bephotographed, broadcast, Webcast or other-wise recorded and/or transmitted by audioor video means. The new pr ovision alsostates that public bodies may adopt reason-able rules governing the use of cameras andrecording devices during open meetings, inwhich case such rules must be written, con-spicuously posted, and provided to those inattendance upon request.”

To help government bodies with thisamendment, the Committee on Open Gov-ernment has pr epared model r ules regard-ing the photographing, r ecording andbroadcasting of public meetings. These sug-gested rules, which are available on the Website, may be modified and adopted by pub-lic bodies. This law takes effect April 1.

State WebcastsNew York state agencies ar e alr eady r e-

quired to W ebcast their open meetings socitizens can watch from the comfort of theirhomes or workplaces.

Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer signed the Ex-ecutive O rder i n M arch 20 07. H is r eason:most New Yorkers can’t make the meetings,and the technology exists, so let’s just do it.And while we feel it was an unr easonablyexpensive unfunded mandate for agencies,especially smaller ones like the AdirondackPark Agency, those Webcast meetings haveprovided extraordinary access to our stategovernment like never before.

For example, we can watch an APA meet-ing live on the APA W eb site(www.apa.state.ny.us). The Agency doesn’thave to broadcast it live — so long as theybroadcast it over the Internet within a r ea-sonable amount of time after the meeting —but they show it live anyway, as a courtesyand a public service because not everyonefrom around the 6-million-acre AdirondackPark can make it to Ray Brook to attend themonthly meetings. Many times, the meet-

ings include time-sensitive decisions, andtaxpayers can watch th eir government atwork as the issues unfold. And if they can’twatch live, they can log on to the APA Website and see the prerecorded meetings,bookmarked by agenda item.

We give the APA staf f high marks formeeting this mandate and exceeding expec-tations. People can even see the PowerPointpresentations of staf f and guests. W e en-courage you to watch these Webcast videosor listen to the audio versions (MP3). Afterall, it’s your right to know.

The right to record open meetings in New York

What can you do to help Relay for Life?Four years ago, a gr oup of students started a movement on the

SUNY Plattsburgh campus called Relay for Life. Over the course ofthis time, they have raised over $138,500, and it has inspired a newcampus tradition and, most of all, supported the fight against can-cer.

Having the privilege of serving as the group’s campus advisor thelast couple of years, I have tried to add to the spirit of the evening.Last year, the group set a goal of $45,000.

I told them if they r eached it I would once again step up to theplate to take on a student challenge. That challenge was dancingwith Plattsburgh State’s Cardinalette Kickline. To no surprise theysurpassed this goal raising $47K! You can find me dancing withthem here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYZ-4BSobe4.

This year, our campus will hold our 5th Annual Relay for Life withthe goal of raising $55,555! We are still working on Cashman’s chal-lenge, but I promise you that if the group hit the goal it will be justas fun as last year!

Last year, so many of my family and friends helped me recognizethis amazing group of students by making a donation. More impor-tantly, we came together to Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back. Ihave witnessed family and friends battle with this horrible disease.I know you have, too.

I realize everyone is tight for money right now . But I am askingyou to join me by making small sacrifice. Each of us has somethingin our daily or weekly lives that could give-up just once that togeth-er will add up to a lot.

* Could you go without that morning cup of cof fee from Dunkin

Donuts or Tim Horton’s?* Could you go without a value meal from your favorite fast food?* Could you go without a night out, maybe one less drink or maybe

no dessert?Whatever you can do — $5, $10, $20 or mor e — it all counts to-

wards finding a cure.I hope you will join me. Please pass this message along to other

family and friends. I know cancer has impacted my friends and fam-ily. If you would like to join my team the night of Relay you can alsoemail me at [email protected].

Together we can Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back, while send-ing a strong message to this amazing group of college students theyamazing for working so hard towards such a worthy cause.

Ikeep hearing our electedofficials fr om Pr esidentObama to Sen. Schumer

and many others in betweencalling for an “Adult Conversa-tion” about the most serious is-sues facing our nation. Onewould assume we had beenelecting serious people to do animportant job in leading our na-tion, but we must conclude that,by their own admission, theyhaving only been “foolingaround” in a childish/imma-ture manner for some time now,waiting for the electorate to step up and sayenough is enough.

It’s sad to think of all the lost time and op-portunities wasted while they pretended to beconducting affairs of the state. We now realizethat many were just out for a good time.

A good friend of mine, who is now r etiredin Colorado, recently told me a story about ahigh ranking New York state of ficial whoquestioned why residents allowed the state tobe controlled by three individuals. He and hisfellow elected officials continued to be amazedat what they were allowed to “get away with”in Albany.

I can’t help but wonder if we are willing tosacrifice some of our luxuries for futur e gen-erations the way pr evious American genera-tions did for our benefit?

I was reading recently some information re-garding the nation’s efforts during World WarII. Clearly, it was an all-out, shar ed nationalapproach. Everybody did their part, includingserious rationing of gasoline and food sup-plies that were saved from domestic consump-tion to aid the war effort for the troops. Thingslike r ubber pr oducts, metal, glass, ir on, andeven women’s nylons stockings were recycledfor the manufacturing machine. The Great De-pression generation was saving money andpurchasing war bonds. Americans went towork on the pr oduction lines — especiallywomen who enter ed traditional male manu-facturing jobs — turning out equipment, ships,tanks and planes in record numbers, workingseven days a week. Everybody was in the fightto win the war, and failure was not an option.

Despite the errors, setbacks and hardships,America was determined to over come everyobstacle that stood in their way . This became

a national obsession and anall-consuming focus.

It is har d to imagine ourpeople coming together in thisfashion today . Per haps the“greatest generation” wasnaïve, yet, from the stories I’vebeen told by my par ents andgrandparents, ther e was asense of happiness and satis-faction of accomplishment inthe midst of all the sacrificesand loss of loved ones. Thecommon goal and har dshipforged a strong America capa-

ble of accomplishing anything.The sacrifices by those who came before us

were always done to lighten the load on futuregenerations. Is the strong America our parentsand grandparents handed over to our genera-tions an America that we can feel equally con-fident about handing over to our children? Orhave gotten so soft and so self-consumed thatwe simply won’t sacrifice our lifestyle for thebenefit of those who will come after us?

When best and brightest among us can’twork together in an adult fashion to solve theinternal domestic issues of the day, one has towonder if we ar en’t better served right nowgetting young high schools kids from the Mod-el UN pr ogram to addr ess these issues andfind the common ground solutions we’ve beenunwilling to undertake.

These ar e strange times. The clock keepsticking, the r hetoric keeps gr owing, and thatonce-strong sense of shar ed sacrifice seems adistant memory to the ever-dwindling numberof Americans who lived through that era andsacrificed so much.

We have to be honest with ourselves. W illthe America we leave our children be a betterAmerica than our parents left to us, or have wesquandered the gr eat advantage we once en-joyed out of self indulgence and uncompr o-mising political positions? I think the next fewyears will be pivotal in answering those ques-tions. While nearly all Americans would optfor the same goal, I wonder if we’ll allow themethod by which we r each that goal becomethe unraveling of America.

Insert not accurateIn recent weeks Margaret Bartley has pro-

vided an insert to the Valley News which hasbeen labeled as an Elizabethtown T ownBoard Meeting Summary. Each one has con-tained several inaccuracies or misr epresen-tations of what actually occurred. She notesthe summary is based on her notes and thatthe actual minutes are available in the TownHall. I need to correct her summary regard-ing the Town Board meeting on Feb. 15 andtell you what actually occurred under Plan-ning and Zoning. The DVD of the meetingmakes it clear.

The issue on the table was an applicationfor a $40,000 “Smart Growth“ grant from theDEC towar ds community planning. If r e-ceived the grant would pr obably r equire a$10,000 matching fund from the town whichmight be cash and/or in-kind service.

Margaret reported, “he felt that pr eviousplanning had not been followed nor was ituseful,“ and “that spending money on plan-ning was a waste of taxpayer money” andthat I was opposed to the grant for those rea-sons. Neither is tr ue r egarding our localplanning. I did, however, make similar com-ments regarding a study called “Hamlets 3”which occurred during 2010 and cost the tax-payers a quarter of a million dollars. Ham-lets 3 was the third study of its kind datingback to the 1980s and led to the Smart

Growth grant.Hamlets 3 concluded we should gr ow in-

side our community, not outside, and reusehistoric str uctures. We should also extendour town park to the edge of Stewart’s byeliminating the town lane currently in placeand plant mor e tr ees along Court St. since“pedestrians are reluctant to stroll along thestreet after working hours.” I couldn’t be-lieve the taxpayers of New York state, who

happen to be br oke, paid$250,000 for this bit of wis-dom and for the third time.

I opposed the SmartGrowth grant because I be-lieve our state must curbits spending and I viewedthe Hamlets 3 as a colossalwaste of money. I just did-n’t have the heart to addanother $40,000+ to the tab

even if it would help update our existingtown comprehensive plan.

Thoughts on ACRSome thoughts on the ACR project and

the pending adjudicatory hearing.The activities of the last few years r e-

garding the project call to mind that anal-ogy of a heavy weight prize fight. Befor ethe main event, both sides engage in aform of psychological warfar e that at-tempts to enhance one’s r eputation andgoals and diminish the other guy’s. You’veall seen the pictur es of the contestantsstaring and glaring in attempt to rattletheir opponent.

These actions have been ongoing here asthe pr oject is pursued, thr ough the vari-ous forms of media, letters to the editor ,Facebook, Twitter, newspaper ads, what-ever works. All parties have attempted toestablish their positions. Sometimes ex-treme, sometimes rational, sometimesquestionable, sometimes laughable.

In a prize fight, there is a winner and aloser and here ends my analogy. In the ad-judicatory hearing ther e will not be anoutright winner or loser . Thr ough theprocess of pr esenting factual evidencesubject to examination by other parties,the result can and should be a win all forall concerned, that is an improved projectfor the developer, the community, and thebroader concerns of the Adirondack Park.A process that will bring all parties closerto the ideal of a balance between econom-ic and environmental concerns.

A balance that can only be achieved bythe active, informed participation of allparties, resulting in a transcript that willbe used by the ultimate decision makers,the Commissioners of the APA.

No doubt this can be a fr ustratingprocess at times and the r esulting tran-script can be a challenging r ead, but theoutcome is certainly worth the effort.

I’m betting on the outcome and not theoutrage.

With spring timequickly ap-proaching,

spring cleaning is on theminds of many. Typically onemay think of spring cleaningas: Cleaning the house, clean-ing out the garage, cleaningout the closet etc. What if youtook another appr oach tospring cleaning?

Let’s start in the kitchen.Clean out the fridge, pantry ,shelves, etc. Get rid of theprocessed food and junk. Ifit’s not there, you won’t eat it, plain and sim-ple. This is a perfect opportunity to startfresh. Box up everything pr ocessed and getit out of the house.

Now what exactly is pr ocessed food? Ba-sically, processed food is anything that wasmade in a plant and boxed up for sale. T ryto think of wher e you food is coming fr om.If you can not pictur e it in its raw state,chances are, it is not r eal food. It is “food”pretending to be food.

This may be a har d concept for some tograsp, but it’s tr ue. Real food = Fr uit, Veg-etables, whole grains, beans, meat, eggs,nuts, seeds, and some oils. Those are the in-gredients that should be in your meals, notsome long crazy word you can not even pro-nounce, let alone know what it is or where itcame from.

Now let’s take a trip to the gr ocery store.When you walk in, stay to the outside of the

aisles. Shop the perimeter ofthe store. This is wher e youwill find fr esh items like,produce, fish, meats, andeggs. You may need to ven-ture into the aisles to findyour whole grains and beansso be pr epared. Have yourgrocery list ready to go withall your healthy choices andonly get what you plannedfor. Being armed with a gro-cery list will help you savemoney as well by not pick-ing up items your think you

“have to have” but r eally don’t, a.k.a.“Junk”.

Now that you ar e home to a nice “clean”kitchen, stock your shelves and fridge withyour healthy eats. Make some healthy meals,and plan for leftovers so you will have somequick go to meals and snacks r eady to goduring the week. Pr epare some healthysnacks as well so when you’re on the run youhave something healthy that you can graband go. Notice how much better you start tofeel when you ar e fueling your body withreal foods. Your body will thank you withmore energy and motivation to live your lifeto its fullest potential. Here’s to your health!

Spring cleaning: your pantryIlove snow and winter ,

but ther e is no doubtthat I am r eady for

spring. I want to get out intothe gar dens and get myhands dirty. But with the twofeet of snow that arrived lastweek, getting my hands intothe dirt will have to wait a bitlonger. Fortunately, I can stillget out and get some yar dwork done. Now is the op-portune time to pr une yourtrees and shrubs.

The end of the dormantseason is the best time to pr une. Pr uningduring the dormant period minimizes saploss and subsequent stress to the tree. It alsominimizes the risk of fungus infection or in-sect infestation as both fungi and insects arelikely to be in dormancy at the same time asthe tr ee. Finally, in the case of deciduoustrees, pr uning when the leaves ar e of f willgive you a better idea of how your pr uningwill affect the shape of the tree.

Pruning a tree can help shape the tree intoa beautiful specimen. Car e should be takenso that the tr ee can heal pr operly. Branchesand stems ar e separated by a lip of tissuecalled a stem collar which gr ows out fr omthe stem at the base of the branch. All prun-ing cuts should be made on the branch sideof this stem collar . This allows the tr ee toheal more effectively after the prune. To pre-

vent tearing of the bark andstem wood, particularly inthe case of lar ger branches,use the following procedure:

Make a small wedgeshaped cut on the undersideof the branch just on thebranch side of the stem col-lar. This will br eak the barkat that point and pr event atear from running along thebark and stem tissue.

Somewhat farther alongthe branch, starting at thetop of the branch, cut all the

way through the branch leaving a stub end.Finally, make a thir d cut parallel to and

just on the branch side of the of the stem col-lar to reduce the length of the stub as muchas possible.

When pruning make sur e that you neverremove mor e than 25 per cent of the tr ee’scrown. Removing too much at one time canreally stress the tree out. If you have specif-ic questions about pruning, especially if youhave a fruit tree that requires specific prun-ing, contact your local cooperative extensionoffice for advice.

“I don’t think that anyone here is thrilled about addinga position to the payroll,” Elizabethtown supervisor NoelMerrihew said during the Mar ch 14 continuation of theMarch 8 county boar d meeting. “But I think that this isthe best way to cover the added case load that is goingthrough the office and we will not be held in the grey areaof assigned council.”

“The case load, whether or not they have been draggingcases out, shows that there is a need for another person,”Moriah supervisor T om Scozzafava said. “The pr oof isthere, all you have to do is the research.”

“I don’t think that this is a popular choice, but to ig-nore this is wr ong and it would come back to bite us,”Wilmington supervisor Randy Preston said.

Two members of the boar d said that while they mightagree with the majority (11 supervisors out of 14 in atten-dance voted for the r esolution), they said that now wasnot the time to add a position.

“I can’t support this at this time,” Westport supervisorDan Connell said. “I wish that this was coming after weknew what the state budget was going to contain for sureand then we would have a better idea of what we had for

funding.”“If I had the time to look at a final state budget and see

where this fit in, then I could see myself supporting it,”Lewis supervisor David Blades said. “But I can’t now.”

Willsboro supervisor Ed Hatch said that a new full-timeposition was not needed with or without a state budget.

“The town justices that I have talked to said that therehas not been a big incr ease in their case loads, but ther ehas been a shift in the types of cases they ar e dealingwith,” Hatch said. “I think that Essex County has to takea serious look at part-time help, because for every dollarthat we spend in salary, we spend 50 cents more in bene-fits.”

Hatch said that the justices he had talked with agr eedthat the public defender of fice has been a help to thecounty judicial system.

“They feel that while the office does need help, anoth-er person in the office may not be the answer,” Hatch said.

Keene supervisor W illiam Fer ebee asked Hatch howmany justices he had talked to in the county , to whichHatch responded three.

“I don’t know how you can have a feeling for the entirecounty by just talking to three,” Ferebee said. “That’s nota majority.”

Hatch also asked county manager Daniel Palmer if hesupported the recommendation to add the position.

“I have a r esponsibility in this position and I have todo what I feel is right,” Palmer said. “Oh, yes, I supportthis.”

“Okay,” Hatch replied. “So when you are up there lat-er this year saying that we have to cut, cut, cut, I will re-member this.”

“It’s something I’ve alwayswanted to do,” Perry said of r un-ning a restaurant.

Drawing on more than a decadeof working in the restaurant indus-try at various locations and havinghad her own cake decorating busi-ness, Perry felt it was time to pur-sue opening a r estaurant/cateringservice to serve the people of theNorth Country. Thus, Orchard SideRestaurant and Catering was born.

Perry said she has assembled astaff of “key players” — includingMarilyn Never ett, a woman withmore than 30 years experience in

the restaurant industry who servesas Orchard Side’s manager — thatwill not only offer efficient, friend-ly service, but make people feel athome as well.

“It’s getting to be like a family-run operation,” said Perry , whoadded her daughter , Nicole Mur-phy, is among those who make upthe team. “We brought a lot of fam-ily recipes and we’re quite pleasedto be doing this.”

Orchard Side Restaurant andCatering will of fer much of the

same homestyle cooking peoplewho frequented the former Home-stead Restaurant were used to, Per-ry said.

“But, we’re going to put a littleflare into it,” she said, adding peo-ple should come in to check outtheir menu, which includes a fullline of baked goods.

Having the catering side of thebusiness will also allow Perry andher cr ew to make their selectionsavailable outside the walls of Or-chard Side.

“We’ll do wedding events, fu-neral services, small parties, lar geparties, Christmas parties ... what-ever the event might be,” she said.

Orchard Side Restaurant andCatering, 9481 State Route 9, isopen Monday through Saturday, 6a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday , 6 a.m.to 6 p.m. The r estaurant may bereached by calling 846-8855.

Rouses Point one of only five stops in New York for Sept. 11 tribute By Sarah L. CronkSpecial to Denton Publications

ROUSES POINT — Fourth ofJuly weekend events have beentaking place in Rouses Point forthe last five decades. This year ,however, a special ceremony willtake place that has even warrant-ed sending an invitation to Pres-ident Barack Obama.

On Friday, July 1, a special flagmeasuring 30 feet by 57.5 feetwill be br ought to the RousesPoint Civic Center on LakeStreet. The flag has been travel-ing the country since Aug. 10,2010, beginning in San Diego,Calif., as a tribute to the ArmedForces, first and second r espon-ders, those who died during theSept. 11, 2001 attacks on theUnited States and their families.

Geri Favr eau, one of the or-ganizers of the annual Fourth ofJuly events, explained RousesPoint is one of only five stopsthat will be made with the flag inNew York State. The village wasadded to the itinerary afterChazy native T om Middleton,coordinator for the V ermontstops, asked Favreau if they’d beinterested in having it br oughtthere.

“I think it’s very special tohave this flag coming to RousesPoint. If it weren’t for Tom Mid-dleton, we wouldn’t have it,”Favreau said.

Favreau said the original planwas to have the flag hang off theKorean War Veterans MemorialBridge between Rouses Pointand Alburgh, Vt.However, concernsof wind blowing theflag of f the bridgechanged plans to behang the flag fr omaerial tr ucks at thecivic center.

The ceremony willbe or ganized bymembers of Ameri-can Legion Montgomery Post912. Favr eau explained the Le-gion Commander Robert St. Johnsent her a note explaining theceremony will be done “to hon-or the memory of the civilians,fire fighters and police of ficerswho died Sept. 1 1, 2001, and tohonor the memory of the mili-tary personnel who have andcontinue to die in the global waron terror.”

“It’s r eally becoming a bigdeal,” Favreau said, adding invi-tations to the cer emony will besent o ut t o O bama, U .S. S ecre-tary of State Hillary Clinton, andDepartment of Homeland Secu-rity Secretary Janet Napolitano.

“And, then the governors andlieutenant governors of bothstates, Vermont and New York,”Favreau said. “And then, in New

York State our senators and as-semblypeople that r epresentNew York both in Washingtonand in Albany.”

There ar e also people in thearea Favreau plans to send invi-tations to, who went to NewYork City following the attacksto help with relief efforts.

The cer emony,which will be open tothe public, will be fol-lowed by a concertwith The Strawhattersand CommunitySingers.

Favreau said Mid-dleton is workingwith the U.S. BorderPatrol to have the flag

brought to Burlington, Vt., itsnext stop on the nationwide tour,by traveling down Lake Cham-plain.

Other plans ar e still being fi-nalized for the rest of RousesPoint’s Fourth of July weekend,which is themed as “HonoringOur Patriots,” in honor of theflag. Events will include a 5-kilo-meter race scheduled to takeplace Saturday, July 2, at 8 a.m.,and a boat parade of lights thesame day at dusk. Organizers arealso looking for volunteers tohelp coor dinate a talent showJuly 2 to be held in the afternoon.

Lady Cougars drop fourth quarter stunner to HoosicBy Keith [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — For three quarters,the Northeastern Clinton Lady Cougarsseemed destined to spend the next week-end in Troy.

However, Hoosic Valley used a stiflingdefense and clutch shooting in the lasteight minutes to out-scor e the Cougars15-5 and score a 36-32 win in the Class Bregional finals March 12.

“They shut us down defensively , forsure,” Cougars head coach Dave Lambertsaid after the game. “It was a r eal physi-cal game and we had our chances and itwas a pr essure-packed game thr ough-out.”

The Cougars held a 21-15 halftime leadand a 27-21 advantage after the thir d. Inthe fourth, the Cougars got f ive pointsfrom Kari Dominic , who f inished witheight points, four r ebounds and six as-sists.

However, Hoosic ended the game on a8-0 run to take the lead with 1:18 left andknocked down three free throws in the fi-nal 27 seconds to seal the victory and ad-vance to the Class B final four.

“We got open shots in the first half andwe made them,” Lambert said. “Theywere all over Katrina (Garrand, who fin-ished with eight points, eight r ebounds,three assists and two steals). It was har dto go into that locker r oom and consolethose girls after.”

Chelsey Brooks also scored eight pointsin the game to go with five rebounds anda steal. Rachelle Barcomb scored six pontsto go with two rebounds, two assists and

two steals, while Allie Cartier scored twopoints and grabbed four rebounds.

Kayla Dragoon added thr ee r ebounds

PLATTSBURGH — As Rob Armstrongraised up to launch a three-pointer in the thirdquarter, you could have heard a pin drop.

When it went down, you could not haveheard a jet engine.

With the thr ee, the Northeastern ClintonCougars took their first lead of the gameagainst Potsdam, the top-ranked, undefeatedteam in the Class B r egional championshipsMarch 12.

The Cougars finished the third on a 14-3 runand with a 32-26 lead, but it was the Sandston-ers who used a 15-5 fourth quarter to advanceto the final four with a 41-37 win.

“I couldn’t be more proud of them,” Cougarscoach Robb Garrand said after the game. “Weresponded to the challenge of playing the top-ranked team in the state very well. I think thatwe got going a little to fast at times and I thinkwe were tired on the defensive end at the end.”

The ‘Stoners scor ed five of their 15 fourthquarter points on second chance shots, helpingto prove Garrand’s point.

“The most disappointing thing was playingdefense for the whole shot clock, then missingand then getting the second chance and thebasket,” Garrand said. “We were much betterwith our r ebounding in the game, but it wasthe key rebounds late that we couldn’t get thatmade the difference.”

Logan Miller kept the Cougars in the gameearly, scoring 10 of his 13 points in the first half.He also had four rebounds.

Jamie Davison scored eight of his teams 14points in the third quarter, including a pair oflong thr ee-pointers. Davison finished witheight points to go with thr ee rebounds, sevenassists and three steals.

Steven Car der scor ed 10 points, grabbedeight r ebounds and blocked one shot, whileRob Armstrong scored five points to go withthree rebounds, one assist and two steals.

Tom Bedard scored one point to go with fourrebounds and an assist.

“You can’t for get what we have accom-plished,” said Garrand. “This has been a greatseason and last Saturday, we were the team leftsmiling after playing Plattsbur gh. Tonight, itwas the other way around.”

26 - North Countryman • Adirondack Outdoors www.northcountryman.com March 19, 2011

March, which is appropriately known as the monthof the Cr ust Moon, was usher ed in by a majorstorm that deliver ed over a two feet of snow

across the region. Curently, the solid crust permit quick andeasy travel whether on skis or snowshoes.

With cool evenings, pleasant afternoon temperatur es andsteadily incr easing hours of daylight, Mar ch is one of thefinest months for winter recreation in the Adirondacks.

It is a time when local wildlife begin to stir from their win-ter haunts, the woods remain wide open, and the snow coveris excellent for highlighting tracks. As a wide variety of birdsreturn to the region on a daily basis, tourist numbers begin todwindle and the trails are lightly traveled.

Sliding: Winter’s Endless EntertainmentEven if you don’t ski, skate, snowshoe, snowmobile or ice

fish, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the winter, beyondtaking a trip south. Although recent surveys reveal that win-ter sports have experienced significant gr owth in only twoprimary pursuits, snowshoeing and telemark skiing, the mostpopular, winter activity worldwide r emains by far, the mostbasic.

Nearly any child exposed to a winter environment has en-joyed the activity. It is a pursuit that r equires no specializedequipment, no advanced training and no unique skills.

Riding anything from a cardboard box to the seat of a pairof nylon pants, children across the northern latitudes jump atan opportunity to slide across the snow.

Lugging a sled behind them, they’ll climb to the top of thenearest incline and descend endlessly; or until frozen feet, wetpants, soggy mittens and a runny nose require a trip home ora major readjustment.

We’ve all done it, whether on a Flying Saucer, Flexible Fly-er ’, Ski Bob, toboggan or some other improvised device suchas a cardboard box, tire inner tube, garbage bag or cafeteriatray.

Over the years, numerous local kids have graduated to themore technical sliding pursuits of luge, skeleton or bobsled.And while their accomplishments ar e now achieved whileriding an upgraded version of the ‘Flexible Flyer’, their slid-ing car eers almost certai nly began on ski hill, a local golfcourse hill or other nearby venues. Despite advancements inski design, snowmaking, grooming and a host of other mod-ern conveniences, sledding r emains the most popular andreadily accessible of all winter entertainment.

Extreme/Free SleddingDespite it’s traditional world wide appeal, sliding is now

one of the fastest growing “new” winter sports. High tech ma-terials and engineered designs have resulted in upgraded ver-

sions of the tr usty old, Flexi-ble Flyer.

Labeled “extr eme sled-ding” or “fr ee sledding”, thephrase was coined by partici-pants who utilize a variety ofunique sleds to ride overrough, ungr oomed and oftenextreme terrain.

I was introduced to the pur-suit several years ago, while cross country skiing on a moun-tain trail in Ray Brook. It was a very odd experience that tookplace on St. Patrick’s Day

I was skiing along a well packed snowshoe trail, when outof the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of movement inthe woods, far off the trail. At first glance, I couldn’t quitemake out what it was. However, it was moving downhill fast,darting though the hardwoods and careening through the bal-sams, and I could see at least three of them.

They were small, about the size of a large dog, but they werenot bounding like animals. It almost looked as if they wererolling, or sliding.

As they got closer , it initially looked to be a lepr echaunbouncing through the woods, and in hot pursuit were two oth-er short figures. They all looked about three feet tall and theywere blasting through the fresh powder, bouncing off balsamsand slaloming through the saplings.

It was a really, weird sight, and it sure appeared they werehaving great fun. I immediately skied off the trail to catch upwith them, but it wasn’t easy. They were really moving!

The gr oup, all hailing fr om Vermont, wer e riding a newtype of sled known as a Mad River Rocket. The seven poundsleds were made of vacuum-molded polyur ethane and theyhad grooves in the bottom to permit easy turning.

The sled had a built in knee strap and a foam cushion topermit riders to kneel comfortably. It looked like a winter ver-sion of the popular knee-boar ds/wakeboards, that ar e com-monly used on the lake during the summer.

The leader of the pack, although dressed entirely in green,was not actually a leprechaun. He was a six foot, two inch tall,“free-sledder”. He explained the group had been traveling tothe Adirondacks all winter to snowshoe up and sled down nu-merous local peaks.

The sleds are steered by leaning; dragging a hand as a rud-der, or even tree grabbing a tree to maneuver down the steepslopes. As I watched them, the group moved through the for-est cover with ease.

“We go where skiers can’t!”, one guy of fered, “Because atonly thr ee feet tall, kneeling, we’r e usually below the tr ee

limbs. It’s neat to grab a sapling and sling around it for a turn.Skiers would get their poles all tangled up doing that.”

He mentioned another advantage that I hadn’t considered,explaining, “We don’t fall down, we just tip over!”

I watched as the gr oup slid off into the distance. I met upwith them later in the trailhead parking lot. With snowshoeson their feet, tiny sleds strapped to their packs, and helmetson their heads, they looked like a lost pod of web-footed tur-tles. They all sported wide smiles and explained they hadsnowshoed to the summits of many local peaks, including Mt.Marcy. However, they stated a preference for riding off trail,especially in the spring when the crust provides plenty of sup-port.

The Mad River Rocket sled was invented in 1987 by archi-tect David Sellers of Warren Vermont. Sellers fabricated thesled by adapting a vacuum molding pr ocess that had beenused to produce roto-mold canoe at the nearby Mad River Ca-noe Company.

His design borr owed the concept of a negative keel fr omBoston Whaler boats, which makes it track easily. The sled de-sign requires riders to kneel, which results in a low center ofgravity. Riders steer with arms and brake as you lean to andfro. Experienced riders learn how to take advantage of ter-rain, and to utilize the nearby woods, swinging around treesor using a sapling to slow their descent.

Champlain dissolutionfrom page 1

quested the board take “immediate and ap-propriate action for the dissolution of thevillage.”

Triller cited the fact the village no longeroperates a police department or court amongreasons for the move.

“We looked at this very seriously ,” saidMartin, who r emarked boar d members r e-viewed material fr om other towns and vil-lage that have gone thr ough dissolutionprocess. “We also received a ton of materialfrom the Department of State and we lookedat it. Each one of these dissolution process-es is kind of unique.”

Upon reviewing the materials, Martin saidthe board felt there would not be a substan-tial savings to the taxpayers or any otherbenefit.

“Honestly, I don’t think the village r esi-dents will save any money by dissolving the

village,” said Martin. “I don’t think the taxrates are going to go down. W e’re going tolose control over our services, local contr olover our policies.”

Progress the village has made in r ecentyears to stay afloat despite being subject tounfunded federal mandates like other mu-nicipalities i s e vidence i t i s i mportant t hevillage having its own government and iden-tity.

“The village of Champlain over last sixyears has been very well maintained,” saidMartin. “Our tax rate is very r easonable —more than reasonable. And, I really feel ourwater a nd w astewater r ates a re b elow t hemedian for New York state and they’re veryreasonable for the product that we have.”

The issue of blight and a lack of business-es in the village’s downtown ar ea — whichis something Martin feels those for dissolu-tion feel would improve if they got their way— wouldn’t necessarily get any better with-out village government.

“I know we have pr oblems, but I have to

ask myself that if this village was dissolvedtoday, would that situation get any more at-tention down ther e,” said Martin. “I don’tthink it would.”

However, Triller said the matter needs tobe formally studied befor e it is br ushedaside.

“I think they didn’t act on fact. If theycould sit there and present budget informa-tion or other r esources you could r ely onthat’s one thing ... but opinions were offeredthat the village is better than it was fiveyears ago,” said Triller. “Which is ironic, be-cause anybody who approaches me about itat the shopping center , the har dware store,the car dealership, are for [dissolution].”

The overall cost of hiring a consultant toconduct a feasibility study , combined withthe time it would take to gather enough datato satisfy r esidents like Triller would be “atremendous amount of work” that couldtake “two to three years to be completed.”

“I don’t mind the work, but I don’t have alarge staff,” said Martin.

I am just not convinced it will save the vil-lage residents any money,” he continued. “IfI was 100 percent convinced, I’d recommendwe do the study and see how it plays out.”

That may not be up to Martin or the board,however, said Triller.

According to the New York GovernmentReorganization and Citizen EmpowermentAct, t he d issolution p rocess c an b e p ut i nmotion if 20 percent of registered voters in amunicipality of 500 or less overall registeredvoters. Martin said that is true and that a fig-ure of 10 per cent published in other localnews media was inaccurate.

Regardless, Triller said he believes he willgain enough support in a petition drive he isbeginning that will ultimately force the handof the board to move forward with a study.

“It’s all up to the voters. That’s what itshould be,” said Triller. “Not the five peoplewho sit on the village boar d. I don’t thinkthey’re a true representation.”
