Parochial schoolwill remain open,focus now puton enrollment By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

CHAMPLAIN — St. Mary’sAcademy will remain open.

The pre-kindergarten

through sixth grade parochialschool overseen by St. Mary’sChurch was facing a challengeby its leadership to raise$80,000 by June 1. However,the school has met the chal-lenge ahead of schedule, saidprincipal Sister Marie Corda-ta Kelly.

“I wasn’t sure we’d raisethe $80,000,” admitted Kelly,who was faced with the chal-lenge in February. “It was so

much. But, I asked people topray for what God wanted forthe school and this is appar-ently what he wanted. I’m justin awe.”

Donations began to tricklein shortly after the challengewas raised and soon, the trick-le became a steady flow, saidKelly. The steady flow was thehelped by large outpouringsof support in the form of larg-er donations in the amounts of

$5,000, $9,000 and then$10,000.

“That’s when I realized wewere going to make it,” saidKelly.

Reaching the goal in a littleless than three months wasnothing short of a miracle,said Kelly.

“I think only God could dothat,” she said. “God and acommunity that came for-ward to show how they feel

about this school.”The school was in its dire fi-

nancial situation after thechurch had a decline in enroll-ment, resulting in $50,000worth of debt needing to berolled over onto the school’s2010-11 budget. Now that themoney has been raised, a con-tingency fund has been estab-lished to help the school stayout of similar financial situa-tions in the future, said Kelly.

However, the school is not outof the woods yet.

“We still need to increaseour enrollment,” said Kelly.

The number of studentscurrently enrolled at theschool is just more than a hun-dred, she said. In order to con-tinue on the path of a healthyfinancial status, those num-bers must increase by another15 students for the 2011-12school year.

The school, to that end, willhost a series of open housesbeginning next week.

“We want people to come inand see what we’re all about,”said Kelly, who touted theschool’s high standards foreducation and safe environ-ment as reasons why parentsshould enroll their children atSt. Mary’s.

Open houses will be held 9a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday,May 16; Tuesday, May 17;Thursday, May 19; and Friday,May 20. St. Mary’s is locatedin the village of Champlain at1129 State Route 9, but is bestaccessible from its Pine Streetside.

Weekend re-enactment to mark150th anniversary of Civil WarPortrayers of historytake to battlefield Saturday, SundayBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — The tradition ofcommemorating the Civil War reaches amonumental anniversary this year, andit’s one Matthew Hewson is looking for-ward to marking.

The West Chazy historical re-enactorand his father, fellow history buffWayne Hewson, are the father-son duoonce again overseeing the annual eventthis weekend on the grounds of the for-mer Plattsburgh Air Force Base offWashington Road. The two-day, free ad-mission event — hosted by the ClintonCounty Historical Association, 11thNew York Battery Light Artillery andAlexandria Battery CSA — has taken some extra planningthis year to commemorate the start of a war that divided thenation, said Hewson.

“This year has been similar to past years in the way wewent about planning the event. However, this year being the150th anniversary, we wanted to go with a summer of 1861theme and try to depict a good deal of early war scenes ifwe could,” said Hewson.

This year ’s event will focus on the first year of the CivilWar and the events leading up to the first battle of Manas-sas, Va. The battles, said Hewson, will depict small unit ac-tions that occurred in the month preceding Manassas.

Those attending this year ’s event can expect to see re-en-actors portraying troops and civilians from both sides of theUnion and Confederate conflict, said Hewson.

“Over the course of the weekend visitors will be able tosee, smell, touch and if they are lucky, or brave enough, tastewhat the Civil War was like in the summer of 1861,” he said.

The weekend will consist of three battles that will depictthe skirmishes that broke out across the border regions be-tween the North and South in the early months of the war,said Hewson. In addition to battles, visitors to the event will

have the opportunityto see infantry drills,cannon firing demon-strations, and speakwith re-enactors aboutlocal units and theirhistory.

“We look forwardevery year to bringinghistory to life in Platts-burgh,” said Hewson,“and we hope folkscome down and expe-rience it with us.”

Hewson said thedraw to the Civil Warencampment year af-ter year is the abilityfor spectators to get aglimpse of what lifewas like during a timewhen America was anation divided againstitself. The event, he

added, is meant to give people a “newfound respect for themen who fought and died 150 years ago in the Civil War.”

“We really love putting this event on and are so verythankful for the support we have had in past years from theClinton County Historical Association, the re-enactors, thepublic and everyone involved,” said Hewson. “We hope thatthe event will continue to grow in the coming years and con-tinue to provide the community with a valuable opportuni-ty to become better acquainted with a piece of local histo-ry.”

“We can never control the weather and we have our fin-gers crossed, but if the weather does not cooperate we hopefolks will throw on the rain gear and come have some funwith us learning about history anyway,” added Hewson.

The weekend’s activities will begin Saturday, May 14, at9 a.m. with the opening of the camps, followed by the firstbattle at 11 a.m. Demonstrations will continue throughoutthe day, including cannon demos at 1:30 p.m. and a secondbattle at 3:30 p.m. Camps will close for the day at 5 p.m.

On Sunday, May 15, camps will reopen at 9 a.m. with can-non demonstrations at 10 a.m. The final battle will take placeat 1 p.m., with the event wrapping up at 2 p.m.

North Countryman Editorial

A ll over the North Country,we’ve seen more water thanwe can handle. The constant

rain helped flood aptly named bywayslike the River Road, Old River Road andWater Street; shoreline homes; parks;ferry stations; boat launches; and more… much more.

We’ve seen people boating where theynormally would be walking, bicycling ordriving. We’ve seen bridges collapse,roads washed out, cars submerged,businesses close and ferries discontinueservice. We’ve seen people hurt and al-most die. And we’ve seen strangers carefor one another like family members.

On the whole, we’re pleased with theresponse from our local and state gov-ernments.

At least, on the whole.Gov. Andrew Cuomo even came by for

a photo opportunity on April 29, visit-ing the collapsed Broad Street Bridge inthe Essex County town of Moriah, whereresident Anna Mayhood jumped fromher SUV to save her own life two daysbefore.

We asked Cuomo if he had made plansto meet “the woman who almost diedhere the other day” — Ms. Mayhood —and he said no. Asked what he wouldsay to her to ensure her that New Yorkstate’s roads are safe, he quipped, “Youare lucky; light a candle.”

Like a true politician, he didn’t an-swer the entire question. In fact, we’redisappointed he made a joke out of aquestion that included the words, “thewoman who almost died here.” He wastrying to be funny in front of his friendsand the TV cameras, but his brief lapseof judgement showed a lack of respectand compassion with regard to a life-threatening situation.

Moreover, the governor blamed Moth-er Nature, not a lack of road and bridgeinspections, for what happened at thathistoric bridge, which was said to havebeen built more than 100 years ago tocross over the Lake Champlain and Mo-riah Railroad tracks.

But give him credit; Cuomo did visit.He came north to inspect the flood dam-age and declare a state of emergency forEssex County when he could have easilystayed in Albany to issue the order.

As he stood on the brink of the col-lapsed Broad Street Bridge — staringinto the wreckage of asphalt, stone, tim-ber and iron — we heard him utter thesewords under his breath: “Man, that’s afrightening drop.”

The flooding situation was just asfrightening for local politicians, such asMoriah Town Supervisor Tom Scozzafa-va, who praised Cuomo for his support.The supervisor pointed to the DOT em-ployees working side-by-side with townhighway crews. They were fixing theerosion — 4 feet of topsoil — that ex-posed a sewer main during the April 27flash flood. He said this kind of state-local cooperation wouldn’t have hap-pened a year ago under Gov. David Pa-terson. And he’s right. Gov. Cuomo isshowing leadership skills not seen inAlbany since George Pataki left officemore than four years ago.

Locally, the response from town andvillage officials during the flooding cri-sis has been tremendous. We’re proud to

have leaders like Keene Supervisor BillFerebee, who risked his Jeep in risingwater to help transport neighbors tosafe ground. Let’s not forget the fire-fighters, emergency technicians, high-way crews, and the countless volunteerswho filled sandbags and manned RedCross shelters.

Times like these, we’re proud to saywe live in a small town, where neigh-bors look out for one another. It’s goodto see our elected officials are doing thesame.

Yet the flooding is still not over, andthere’s plenty more work to be done.The rebuilding will take many monthsand millions of dollars. Let’s just hopethe political leadership skills exhibitedthese past two weeks are practiced con-sistently and are not simply flashes ofbrilliance.

To make changes in ourcurrent health caresystem, we, as a na-

tion, first have to answer onevery critical question. Ishealth care a right or a privi-lege?

If we decide that all U.S. cit-izens should have access toquality and affordable care, weare talking about a right. If wefeel health care is somethingthat should only be available tothose who can afford it, then itbecomes a privilege.

Until we collectively makethat decision, we cannot make real changesto our system.

Secondly, we need to define “insurance.”Currently, we consider the coverage we useto pay for our health care as a form of insur-ance. Insurance, however, is a product that

by its very nature should onlybe purchased for somethingthat is unlikely to occur but, ifit occurs, will be produce a fi-nancial hardship.

We also have to understandthat for insurance to work,there has to be a sharing of risk.That means a large number ofpersons have to buy coveragewith the expectation that fewwill need the coverage.

A controversial part of thenational health care reform hasbeen the mandatory coverageclause. This, however, is neces-

sary to make it financially solvent. A friend who told me he feels that clause

is unconstitutional as the government can’tmandate us to purchase something. I re-minded him that we do have precedent forsuch a mandate. In the past, the only way

that a building owner could have fire protec-tion was to purchase a policy from a local firecompany. If you did not have such a policyand your home caught on fire, the fire com-pany would show up at you house but notfight the fire unless you paid the premiumfirst. After the huge city fires in Chicago andSan Francisco, it was decided that fire pro-tection was to the benefit of all and a rightso municipal fire departments were set up.They would fight any fire. You still need tohave insurance to cover the loss caused by afire but at least you can be confident that thefire department will at least try to put it outeven if you don’t have coverage. How do wepay for that protection? By our mandatedtaxes that fund the fire companies.

If we look broadly at the health care serv-ices that are needed, they fall into threebroad categories.

First are those services that serve a collectivegood for all of us — the public health aspect. In-cluded in this category are things like care of amother during pregnancy to assure the healthof the baby; labor and delivery for newbornsand well child care, including immunizations.It also includes annual flu shots and other ac-tions to reduce communicable disease. In abroader sense, it may also include screening fortreatable disease by doing things like mammo-grams, rectal exams and diabetes and bloodpressure checks.

The performance of this public health sectoris good for all of us and protects our collectivehealth. It is something that everyone living inthis country should have. This kind of careshould be a basic right and provided for all andsince we all share in the benefit it should comeout of the central treasury.

At the opposite extreme, there is the need forcatastrophic care. This includes the head in-jured patient, the spinal cord injury, those need-ing liver and heart transplants and other rarebut exceedingly expensive problems. The num-ber of people needing such care is small, but thecosts are enormous. The only way to afford suchcare is to spread the risk across the largest pos-sible pool of people. This kind of care should becovered by one very large nationwide “reinsur-ance” program that everyone would pay into.To qualify for care under this plan, one would

have to meet a “means test.” As an example, ifthe cost of care exceeded twice your annual in-come, you would become eligible.

For all of the care in between — the brokenleg, the episode of pneumonia or a gall bladderattack — it would be appropriate to considerregular health insurance. For each of us, the de-cision of how much financial risk we can affordwould determine what level of coverage wemay want to have. If we wished, we could pur-chase coverage for any and all such care butwould pay a higher premium. Or we could optfor a lower level of coverage and assume greaterrisk ourselves. Insurance of this type also makessense for an employer to purchase to be sure theworkers are cared for and returned to workpromptly after illness or injury. This makes it atrue insurance product. It also would allow forpremium adjustment for those who choose tolive a healthy lifestyle versus those who decideto take greater personal risk.

We have a health care system that is not work-ing well. To improve upon this, we need to de-velop a system that will recognize that it is toour collective advantage to assure access foreveryone. That will assure that the care is ap-propriate to the needs of the person and avoidsunnecessary and expensive care that does notadd to length or quality of life. We need care andcoverage provided by private industry but con-trols placed by collective national decision mak-ing.

Support for rail lineI strongly support the creation of a recre-

ational trail on the Lake Placid to TupperLake railroad line. We already have touristtrains from Lake Placid to Saranac Lake andOld Forge to Utica. The new trail would beworld class through some of the most pris-tine and beautiful landscape in the country.Let's not let this die in endless committeemeetings and studies. A study has alreadybeen done and found the recreational trailthe most economical and beneficial alterna-tive, at no additional cost to the taxpayer!

What are we paying forI would like to voice my opinion on bridge

closure and rock cut flooding.I have to commute over four hours a day to

Vermont, as do most people from the Moriaharea. Why we have to go to another state towork, I don’t understand. I’m guessing be-cause of the waste of money in New Yorkwhen the bridge first closed.

While waiting in line at the Essex ferryeveryday, I watched as four or five state DOTworkers stood by waiting to direct peopleonto the ferry. I’m sure after waiting in lineevery morning we were well aware of wherethe ferry was and how to drive onto it.

Now that Route 9 south of Port Henry hasflooded again after how many years, we havethe blockades manned 24/7. Why? Couldthere not be sand piles placed there? No, in-stead we have to pay for state trucks to sitthere running all night at $4 a gallon to keepthe crew toasty and warm while they sleep.

That’s right, several mornings this week I

have pulled alongside trucks and sat thereseveral minutes, then blowing the horn towake the men on guard. I have to commute toanother state to work. However, come taxtime, New York has there hand out for mymoney to pay for these peoples salaries. Notto mention I have retirement, but I have to payfor theirs.

If the workers are needed there 24/7,maybe they could work on the roads to keepthem from falling asleep. Maybe the roadsand bridges would be maintained and nothave to be closed for the real working folksthat need them to get to another state to work.

No wonder our country is in the shape it is.George A. Smith

Bully’s don’t take the summer off

Though the rains and cool weather stubborn-ly refuse to loosen their inhospitable grip on theNorth Country, in the end they will acquiesce tothe warm, still days of a welcoming summer, thesummer of 2011.

As summer arrives, the school year will cometo an end and students will bust out the schooldoors to that sublime feeling of no school to-morrow.

As the school year ended when I was a kid,my friends and I could scarcely contain our-selves, our teachers reigned us in on occasionand reminded us that school was still in session,sunshine or no sunshine.

For some, summer would mean rushing outthe door early in the morning to mount a bike,wet with night’s dew, and a quick ride to meetup with friends. For others, it was off to thebeach at the lake or to a secret swimming or fish-ing hole along the river. For some, summerwould spell the beginning of work, a job mow-ing or raking lawns or on an area farm in thehayfield. Now those days seem so rich withfreedom and self determination when com-pared to the experience of today's youth.

One thing that has not changed since then isthe existence of bullies and bullying. Unlikeyears ago, today bullying can be accomplishedfrom behind the cowardly protection of a com-puter keyboard or a cell phone. Years ago, if youtalked badly enough about enough people forlong enough, you would experience a day ofreckoning at some point. The profile of the bul-ly has also changed, many bullies today arepopular, intelligent and have social currency tospend in the community and at school.

By contrast, the bully of yesterday was mucheasier to manage. Bullies were often pushed tothe margins of school and eventually in thecommunity. The victims of bullying are largelyunchanged, somehow they are just a little dif-ferent, too thin, too fat, too smart, not smartenough and so on.

As an adult, each of us has the opportunity toset an example. There are many outstanding ex-amples of how adult behavior changed our cul-ture in monumental and substantive ways. In

the 1960s, whendoctors were stillendorsing smok-ing, the majority ofthe adult popula-tion were smokers.The children ofthese adults be-came smokers byimitating theirparents and otherinfluential adultsaround them.

Public service campaigns against smokingand education programs certainly helped turnthe tide against smoking, still, adults may havehad the strongest impact in the behavior thatwas modeled for youth. Adults can help reducebullying by not being a bully themselves.

Adults that refrain from bullying their chil-dren or the children of others will set a power-ful example for youth to consider. Adults thatchoose not to bully other adults will also senda strong message to the youth around them.

This summer, the victims of bullying will va-cate the school building, right along with theirtormentors. The bully and victim relationshipwon't change just because school is out. The vic-tims will still be vulnerable and bullies will stillbe pressing their advantage.

As an adult, we all have a chance to set a goodexample and each of us have the chance to stopbullying when we see it. If one instance of bul-lying can be stopped, the lives of the victim andthe bully may be changed forever.

Some will say that everyone has been pickedon at some point and that it is just part of grow-ing up. Bullying is not a normal part of grow-ing up and everyone needs to take this very se-rious problem seriously. We will always needchampions to lead popular movements andtheir importance can not be overstated.

However, in the end, if all of us or most of usdon't decide that bullying is as intolerable as theprevalence of cigarette smoking, reducing theinstances of bullying will move slowly. Sadly,the many victims of bullying must continue tocarry that heavy weight, and, in some instances,they may break under its weight.

Remember, all kids count.

Ever wonderwhat all thebuzz is

about going glutenfree? Well surpris-ingly, gluten is afood allergen thataffects more of usthan you may think.Weather you have agluten sensitivity,allergy, celiac dis-ease or just want toadd different wholegrains to your diethere are some options for you to ex-periment with.

Amaranth – This tiny seed has anutty flavor, is high in protein andhas 25 percent more fiber thanwhole wheat. It contains highamounts of iron, magnesium, zincand folate.

Buckwheat – A fruit seed relatedto rhubarb and it is not related towheat at all. It is a good source ofprotein containing all eight essen-tial amino acids as well as magne-sium, fiber, calcium and iron. Buck-wheat also contains the entirerange of B-complex vitamins.

Millet – contains more proteinthan wheat, corn and rice. Millet is

good source offiber, iron and B vi-tamins.

Quinoa – Some-times considered a“super grain,”quinoa contains alleight essentialamino acids andhas a protein profilesimilar to that ofmilk. It also hasmore calcium, iron,and magnesiumthan whole wheat.

Teff – this is theworlds smallest grain, its key nutri-ents include protein, fiber, calcium,iron, vitamin B1, zinc, and copper.

You can find these grains in thehealth food section of most super-markets or health food stores. Moststores even have a gluten free sub-section.

Discussing ‘gluten-free’The one never ending task a

gardener has is weeding.Weeds not only look un-

sightly in the garden, but they com-pete for nutrients and water, caus-ing poor growth of your flowersand vegetables. Of all of the weedsthat I fight in my garden, the oneweed that is the most invasive, andannoying, is quackgrass.

Quackgrass (Agropyron repens)is a perennial and a troublesomeweed. The Latin name means a‘sudden field of fire’ which atteststo its ability to take over lawns,fields and gardens. The plant is hardy to zone 3 andis actually native to Europe. It has been growing inthe U.S. for over 200 years.

Quackgrass is has thin, flat, green leaf blades thatare wider than the average blade of turf grass. Theplant does reproduce by seed, but is invasive due toits ability to spread through rhizonmes.

Rhizomes (underground stems) are yellow towhite, 1/8 inches in diameter, with distinct jointsabout every inch. Each joint is capable of a new bladeof grass. The creeping rhizomes are so tough theycan grow through a potato tuber, or push up throughasphalt pavement! If left to grow, they will form adense mat 4 inches thick in the upper part of the soilsince one plant can produce 300 feet of rhizomeseach year.

A rototiller should never be used in an area withquackgrass as each chopped up bit of rhizome is ca-

pable of producing a new plant. Mulchshould be used as much as possible tosmother plants, but you can be assuredthat the rhizomes will creep along un-til there is an area in which it can sendup a shoot.

Rhizomes have to be hand dug asmuch as possible without breakingthem off in the soil, then dried and dis-posed of. The main thing is to repeat-edly eliminate the blades by slicingthem off. Without photosynthesis theplant will not be able to store food re-serves in the rhizomes and will even-tually die. Never add newly dug plants

to your compost pile or you will have a quackgrassinfestation there!

Chemical control, with the use of a nonselectiveherbicide such as glyphosate, can be used withquackgrass. The herbicide should be applied whenthere is no wind and when there will be no rain for48 hours. The grass must be green and actively grow-ing for best results. Before applying, remember thatglyphosate is a non-selective herbicide that will killalmost any green plant it contacts. It is important tothoroughly read and follow the herbicide’s instruc-tions and apply glyphosate only to the plants youwant to eradicate.

New vendors to add tomarket atmosphereBy Mary WeinsteinSpecial to Denton Publications

PLATTSBURGH— The Plattsburgh Farm-ers and Crafters Market will kick off its 2011summer season this Saturday, May 14.

The market, located in the Durkee Streetparking lot, will run Saturdays from 9 a.m.until 2 p.m. through Oct. 9, and Wednesdaysstarting in June.

Market organizer and maple vendor Pa-tricia Parker is excited for the onset of theseason, particularly with the added vendorsfor this year.

“We are filled to capacity, but now we’realso renting like six spaces on the end—we’re growing,” said Parker.

Among the seven added vendors are awooden toy purveyor, a new wine vendor, aquilt vendor, and a meatstick merchant.

Parker is particularly excited about theaddition of a meat vendor, which will fea-ture pork.

“We have a person who raises their ownpork and chicken, and eventually as the sea-son wears on — there will be lamb andduck,” she said. “We’ll also have more of avariety; we not only have like six vegetablegrowers, with their own special brand, butalso four bakeries.”

Also in the vein of diversification, Parkeremphasized “something really great” as theinclusion of a gluten-free baker.

Phil Favreau, who has been the lone winevendor at the market for three years, wel-comes the company of the Hid-In PinesVineyard of Morrisonville.

“There going to be two wineries downthere, myself and Mr. LaMoy,” said Favreau,referring to Hid-In Pines owner and opera-tor Richard LaMoy. “I’m very happy to havehim.”

Like Parker, Favreau welcomes the diver-sity.

“He makes a very different wine than I do— it’s not a competition at all,” he said.

LaMoy was attracted to the market be-cause of its wide exposure, having previous-ly sold vegetables there.

“I found the market had good exposure,so that's what I’m looking to capture here.”

Like Favreau and Parker, LaMoy is notworried about competition, but insteadwishes to expose patrons to new experi-ences.

“There will be free wine tastings, so peo-ple can try some of the wines that they manynot have tasted before,” LaMoy conveyed.

Ken Gadway, the award-winning,Adirondack wood turner, will also be fea-tured as a “kick-off.”

“He’s going to bring the lathes and he willactually be demonstrating the entire time,”said Parker. “That’s going to be a treat forthe day.”

In addition to the added purveyors, theWIC Program’s weekly free sample is an en-ticement which will attract shoppers.

“The first week their going to be makinga maple item,” tempted Parker.

The market has also come be known as aunique social outlet, said Parker.

PLATTSBURGH — It’snot always easy to meetsomeone and, in today’sfast-paced society, it’s notlike there’s a lot of time togo looking for Mr. or Ms.Right. That’s where JulieWoodley and Jessica El-lithorpe want to help.

The two are behind an ef-fort to bring speed dating totown through their brain-child, “7Minit Dating.” It’sa way for single men andwomen to meet each otherin a quick, efficient andcomfortable environment.

Woodley — owner ofDressCode, which willsponsor the initiative withhost site Olive Ridley’s —said her single customershave expressed interest inspeed dating, leading her tolook into setting up theservice.

“I felt like it was a need inour community,” she said.“I just think it is a simpleconcept and one that couldreally take off and be a lot offun.”

It’s taken quite a bit ofplanning, including build-ing a website, securing thevenue, and defining a for-mat, she said. And, there’sstill more work to be done.

“Probably more than Iknow right now,” saidWoodley. “We have to re-view applicants and pick

compatible dates ... We alsohave to set up the bar andorganize the dating. Afterthat, we have to go over thecomments and match updates. So, it does entail alot.”

“We’ve probably taken onmore than we realize, butwe’re both single moms, sowe are masters of time man-agement and efficiency,”added Ellithorpe, laughing.“We’ll get it done.”

The 7Minit Dating format

is rather self-explanatory,said Ellithorpe. Each nightthat a 7Minit Dating event ishosted, 12 males and 12 fe-males who have been pre-screened will have the op-portunity to sit down witheach other and hold a con-versation for seven minutesbefore the emcee announcesthe speed date is up. Thetwo at the table will haveapproximately one minuteto fill out information cardsabout their date. The male

participants will then shiftto the next table to chat withtheir next date.

“At the end of theprocess, all participants willturn in their informationcards, which will detailtheir interest in specific in-dividuals,” explained El-lithorpe. “Cards will be col-lected, and after interestsheets have been reviewed,participants will be contact-ed regarding common con-nections that were made.”

“In speed dating, you canrecognize your lack of com-patibility with your date inseven minutesor less, com-pared to a nor-mal bad date,which coulddrag on for anhour or more,”added Ellithor-pe. “We’ve allbeen there, andit's terribly un-comfortable.”

Before even participatingin a 7Minit Dating event,potential speed daters mustgo through a registrationprocess on-line atwww.7minitdating.comand pay a registration fee.Applicants will be screenedand contacted by Woodleyand Ellithorpe, and be as-signed to the four categoriesdetermined by age — 25-34,35-47, and 42-55 and older.

“The two session fee al-lows you to dip into anoth-er age bracket. Thirty-four-year-olds would potentiallydate 35-year-olds, but thecutoff for their age bracketsdoesn't permit for them to

participate in a givennight,” said Ellithorpe.“Therefore, using our best

judgment, wewill allowpeople to dipinto higher orlower agebrackets.”

Woodleyand Ellithorpeare now in theprocess of de-velopingposters and

brochures and distributingthem around town andspreading the word about7Minit Dating however theycan, said Ellithorpe.

“Our goal is to get theword out about speed dat-ing, encouraging individu-als to check out the websiteand apply for the process,”she said. “7Minit Datingwill just offer one more wayfor people to connect. Youmight even make an extrafriend or two out of it, ifthings don't work out ro-mantically.”

The night before, Petty receiveda check for $6,500 through the Re-sort’s fundraising event, held inthe Dancing Bears Lounge.

“I had a number in mind ofwhat this night would raise, andthis number is definitely bigger,”Lori Fitzgerald of High Peaks Re-sort said.

Petty was pleased with the do-nation, and with the week that heand his team had spent in LakePlacid.

“We have had a good week thatwas topped off with this dona-tion,” Petty said. “About a thirdof the group came in on Wednes-day, and I was able to get here onThursday. It has been a great time,and everyone has enjoyed it.”

Petty said that he hoped to re-turn to the area for either anotherride or to participate in the GeoffBodine bobsledding event, whichorganizers hope will be back onthe Mount Van Hoevenberg trackin 2012.

“Now that I know about thisplace and what is going on, I’llhave to come back,” Petty said. “Iasked Geoff if I would be able tobring my bike for the bobsled-ding, but he said it’s probably nota good time for that in late Janu-ary and February.”

ELIZABETHTOWN — A plan to have the clerk of the Es-sex County Board of Supervisors assigning counsel forthose in need of representation in family court has beentabled for the moment.

County Chairman Randy Douglas said at the May 2 meet-ing of the board that the county had to come up with an up-dated policy on assigning counsel before they could moveforward with their resolution.

“We are supposed to have an assigned counsel plan forthe county,” Douglas said. “The current one is outdated.When (county attorney) Daniel Manning gets back from aconference, we will go over the current plan to update itand then I will call for a special board meeting to approvethe new plan and move forward with this resolution.”

The board passed a resolution through the Ways andMeans Committee that would assign the duties of admin-istration for assigned counsel for family court from the of-

fice of Judge Richard Meyer to the clerk of the board’s of-fice.

Douglas said that the special board meeting would beneeded because Meyer ’s office stated that it would nolonger be able to do the job as of April 30.

“This puts us under the gun,” Douglas said.Once passed, the responsibility would fall on clerk to the

board Deborah Palmer to assign counsel in all family courtmatters where counsel was needed.

The board also approved a resolution to allow EssexCounty Sheriff Richard Cutting to set up a budget fundedby a Homeland Security Grant for the purchase of a ReconScout XT from Recon Robotics.

The grant will also pay for training on the equipment.“There is a lot of training that is covered with the grant,”

Cutting said. “This is a robotic device that will be able tobe deployed for surveillance, bomb detection, hostage sit-uation and other needs. It is basically something that canbe used in areas where you do not want to send a live per-son into.”

I-87 welcome center reopens afterfive-month closureBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]

BEEKMANTOWN — The Beekmantown Gateway WelcomeCenter has re-opened.

The official “I Love New York” welcome center — situatedoff the southbound lane of Interstate 87 south of the Chazyexit — opened its doors May 9 after a five-month closure. Thecenter closed in December after funding for its operation waseliminated from the 2010-11 state budget.

Ron Ofner, executive director of the Adirondack RegionalTourism Council, which oversees operation of the center, saidthe reopening was credited to efforts of people like state Sen.Elizabeth O’C. Little, R-Queensbury, and North CountryChamber of Commerce president Garry F. Douglas in push-ing for essential funding to be restored in the state budget.

“Sen. Little was very influential in this as chair of the sen-ate tourism committee,” said Ofner. “And, Garry Douglas,for the last year and a half, has been pushing for funding tokeep the center strong.”

The center ’s first day back in business saw a “good rush ofpeople” stopping in for information about things like localrestaurants, attractions and lodging.

“Almost 100 percent of them were Canadian visitors,” saidOfner.

The center ’s reopening comes at a time when the Canadi-an dollar is slightly stronger, said Ofner, who said he is hop-ing to see more traffic here consisting of our neighbors to thenorth. The past few months of the center being closed result-ed in the tourism council being unable to educate travelersabout what is offered across the state — particularly theAdirondack Region, said Ofner.

“Certainly, we missed out on that opportunity,” he said.“People were continuing on their travels without stopping inthe North Country, which is unfortunate.”

However, not all hope is lost. According to Ofner, approx-imately one-third of those who visit the center are coming

from Canada and have never been to New York State. Now,when they visit, that’s when the council can spread the wordabout local businesses and attractions.

“We can point them to places in the Plattsburgh area oralong the Northway corridor like Lake Placid and LakeGeorge,” said Ofner, who added he is “excited” that the cen-ter has reopened.

Eric Tremblay of Montreal, Quebec, was among the Cana-dian visitors to the center reopening day, also excited to seethe center back in business.

“I usually come here every second month or so,” said Trem-blay. “It’s a great place to stop when traveling to New YorkCity or if you want the latest information. There are a lot ofmaps available and the staff is always useful.”

Ofner said he is glad to have back the majority of the staffthat ran the center before it closed in December. The centeremploys four full-time and one part-time employee. One full-time position was eliminated, though Ofner said he feels the-center ’s current staff can meet demands.

“We have a very experienced staff,” he said.Though Ofner said the contract for the center was renewed

for the coming year “contingent upon available funding,” hefeels the need for the center has been demonstrated.

“I can only assume that as we continue to perform the serv-ices as well as we have in the past, and if we continue to havea supportive senator, we should be in good shape,” said Ofn-er.

The center is currently open seven days a week, from 8:30a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and may be reached by calling 846-8016.More information about the center and attractions in theAdirondack Region are available on the Tourism Councilwebsite, www.visitadirondacks.com.

BudgetsFrom page 1posed in the North Countryman reader-ship area:

Beekmantown Central School DistrictThe proposed 2011-12 annual budget

for the Beekmantown Central School Dis-trict is $38,721,107, a 3.37 increase over lastyear’s budget of $37,458,259. The budgetbeing put before voters utilizes $3.5 mil-lion in undesignated fund balance to off-set expenditures and will see an increasein the tax levy — the amount to be raisedby taxes — over the current amount by $2million. The budget also results in an in-crease in the tax rate by $1.38 per $1,000 ofassessed property value, with the newproposed rate being $16.84 per thousand.

The budget also calls for eliminating sixelementary school level teachers, one for-eign language teacher, one scienceteacher, one social studies teacher, and apart-time universal pre-kindergartenteacher. Other positions already reducedor still planned to reduce included: twotypists, two social workers, one accountclerk typist, one part-time computer ap-plication teacher, one computer resourceteacher, one part-time school psycholo-gist, one part-time teacher aide, and thedirector of curriculum and instruction.The position of computer lab assistantthat equates to three and a half full-timepositions are also proposed to be eliminat-ed.

Superintendent Scott A. Amo said thedistrict also offered an early retirementoption to qualifying employees withfunding made available through the fed-eral government.

Chazy Central Rural SchoolThe Chazy Central Rural School Dis-

trict has proposed a $9,911,907 budget forthe coming school year — a $921 increaseover last year’s overall budget equal to a0.01 percent climb. The budget calls for a2.68 percent increase in the tax levy, withan estimated tax rate of $18.33 per $1,000of assessed property value — a 48 cent per$1,000 increase over last year.

An increase in the tax levy — theamount to be raised by taxes — over thecurrent amount by $2 million. The budg-et also results in an increase in the tax rateby $1.38 per $1,000 of assessed propertyvalue, with the new rate being $16.84 perthousand.

Superintendent John Fairchild said acut in state aid amounted to approximate-ly $880,000, leading the board of educa-tion to look for ways to offset the lack ofrevenue.

“Our first goal was to find a way tomaintain student programs with minimalimpact on staffing,” stated Fairchild.“Through a careful review of the priorbudget, we identified savings thatamounted to over $300,000 that would notaffect staff or programs.”

The board decided to increase theamount of unappropriated fund balanceto be used in the budget to $950,000. In ad-dition, approximately $88,000 of state aidcut was reinstated.

“These actions, combined with the

Chazy Teachers Association and all ad-ministration agreeing to a pay freeze, al-lowed us to meet our first goal,” Fairchildsaid. “Ongoing negotiations with CivilService Employee Association membersmay lead to additional savings for nextyear.”

“Without the concessions from theChazy Teachers Association up to 17 fac-ulty members could have been reduced byone class each,” added Fairchild. “Thiswould be the equivalent of three full-timepositions. The reduction in courses taughtwas proposed as a way to reduce costsmore equally and to keep program offer-ings close to this year’s offerings.”

No student programs were reducedand no faculty positions were reduceddue to the budget. A full time and a parttime position that were grant funded forthis year were eliminated.

“As a new superintendent, I was awarethat the economic climate in our nationand state would make developing a budg-et a considerable challenge,” Fairchildstated. “I just wasn’t aware of how diffi-cult it actually would be this year.”

The ballot will also include a proposi-tion for the district to disburse $35,000 tothe Chazy Public Library in annual sup-port of its programming.

Northern Adirondack Central SchoolThe proposed 2011-12 annual budget

for the Northern Adirondack CentralSchool District is $18,266,725, a 0.06 per-cent increase over last year’s budget of$18,277,852. The budget will result in noincrease to the tax levy and a 2 cent reduc-tion in the proposed tax rate, or $10.70 per$1,000 of assessed property value. In ad-dition, there will be no reduction instaffing or programs, according to super-intendent Laura J. Marlow.

Though facing “tough economictimes,” Marlow said the district workedhard to maintain a budget that would con-tinue to provide “a quality education forthe children of our school district.”

The 2011-12 budget reflects “months ofcost analysis, planning and careful delib-erations,” Marlow said. However, the dis-trict was able to offset a reduction in stateaid by several methods, including reduc-ing supplies and materials, eliminatingnew equipment purchases, more steps to-ward energy conservation and other costcontainment measures.

“Despite one of the lowest budget tobudget increases, the budget sustains ouracademic programs, preserves class sizes,affirms our commitment to health andsafety, and accommodates the educationof students with disabilities,” Marlowsaid. “This year’s budget is responsible totaxpayers and responsive to the needs ofour children.”

Propositions on the ballot include thepurchase of three new buses not to exceed$311,466, and one that would change theelection of board of education members toan at-large system. Currently, a board can-didate must specify the seat for whichthey are running.

Northeastern Clinton Central SchoolThe Northeastern Clinton Central

School District will also maintain an an-nual budget with no increase in taxes forthird year in a row. Though the proposed2011-12 budget amounts to $28,499,357 —a 2.5-percent increase over the last year —district officials utilized reserve fundingto offset increases in expenses such as con-tributions to the teacher and employee re-tirement systems, health insurance andsalaries.

The budget will result in the loss of oneteacher aide position.

“Each line of the budget has been care-fully scrutinized for the past few yearswith many adjustments that have notharmed instruction,” stated superintend-ent Peter J. Turner. “This is a responsiblebudget that keeps the tax rate stable foranother year with no increase in the taxlevy. Next year will be a more challengingyear when federal funds are gone.”

Propositions on the ballot include thepurchase four new buses at a cost not toexceed $107,250 each, or a grand total of$429,000, and one that would change theelection of board of education members toan at large system.

Saranac Central SchoolThe Saranac Central School District will

offer voters a $31,455,381 budget, whichequals a 0.87 increase over last year’sbudget of $31,726,903. The school districtwas facing a nearly $4 million budgetdeficit, with potentially 14 teaching posi-tions recommended for elimination or re-duction. However, the Saranac TeachersAssociation made concessions in con-tracts that amounted to more than$500,000, according to superintendentKenneth O. Cringle.

The result, said Cringle, is a budget thatbears a 3.37 percent increase in the tax levyfrom $11,068,681 to $11,441,401. Thoughthe tax rate hasn’t been finalized, informa-tion provided by the district shows a per-son with a home valued at $100,000 couldexpect to pay a tax bill of $1,886, whichamounts to $62 more than last year.

Positions cut include one part-timebuilding maintenance employee and onefull-time auto mechanic, and reductionsinclude taking a district office position topart-time and reducing a typist positionto 11 months. Other cuts include the pur-chase of a new bus, winter junior varsitycheerleading and Modified B basketballand the purchases of a new and soccer uni-forms and a scoreboard for the athletic de-partment.

Other reductions include reducing theamount of supplies purchased for the dis-trict and other miscellaneous reimburse-ments.

“I am relieved and pleased that the dis-trict is able to maintain existing programsand services for the students through2011-2012,” Cringle said. “The teachers,administrators and supervisors contribu-tions were critical in making this happen.I remain concerned about meeting theneeds of our students beyond 2012 due toour struggling economy and the contin-ued decline in state and federal rev-enues.”

Brook trout boot campAlas, I have returned from yet another successful week-long fishing trip deep with-

in the Adirondack wilds. I timed this one perfectly with ice out and my crew wasrewarded with plenty of spunky spring brookies for our effort.

This was my annual trip into the St. Regis Canoe Area, an outing that has become a tradi-tion for half a dozen of my fishing chums and I. Last year we celebrated my Dad’s 75thbirthday there. This year we dubbed the trip “Spirit of 76” in recognition of his B-day, eventhough he was unable to tag along because of work commitments.

Rest assured, you were there in spirit, pop.Probably a good thing he missed this one anyway. While we caught a ton of fish, the at-

mosphere was dampened by five straight days of rain. Seriously, it started pouring lastSunday and did not stop until it turned to snow Thursday. Ponds ran high and brooks andrivers were roaring.

We’d head out in our canoes just long enough to get soaked,return for dry clothes and head out again. At one point, mybuddy joked that he could have stood in an ice cold showerwith his pack on for a day and come out dryer. We’re actuallycontemplating using that as a training exercise prior to nextyear ’s jaunt.

There’s a thought — brook trout boot camp. Force cadets tomarch 5 miles through the forest carrying a Radisson and a 60-pound rucksack full of food and fishing equipment, whileswatting black flies from their foreheads without dropping the30-packs from under each arm.

Only a select few will make it, but they’ll be rewarded withwashing meals of cold Spaghetti O’s down with frozen beer af-ter sleeping on the ground in a paper-thin bag in near sub zerotemperatures during driving rain and gale-force winds.

For those who are interested, I’ll have a sign up sheet tackedto my door.

Youth bowhunting bill on governor’sdesk

In other outdoor news, the state is poised to ink a bill allow-ing junior bowhunters to hunt big game at 12 years of age withadult supervision. The current age restriction is 14 years.

This is an important piece of legislation as it has been proventhat introducing our youth to the sport of big game hunting atan early age increases the likelihood of them participating forlife.

I also personally believe that bowhunting is an excellent wayto introduce the young to hunting as it teaches patience andsafety.

The bill has been passed by the state Senate and Assemblyand now awaits only the governor ’s signature to become lawthis big game season. Outdoor groups, such as New YorkBowhunters, are urging sportsmen to write or e-mail GovernorCuomo in favor of the law. To e-mail the governor, go tohttp://www.governor.ny.gov/contact/GovernorContactForm.php

Youth fishing derby slatedThe Willsboro Fish & Game Club will host its Mary Ryan annual youth fishing derby May 15 from 9 a.m. to noon with

pre-registration is at 8:30.The event is aimed at those ages 3 to 15 and there will be prizes and refreshments. There is no cost.For more information call Jim Hotaling at 963-7430.

Spring Break Out Ride setThe Hague Fish & Game Club has scheduled its Spring Break Out Ride for Saturday, May 14. This event, which in-

cludes an ATV and horse ride, will start at the clubhouse at 9:30 a.m. The fee this year is $15 as the club members willhead onto the T&T lease and back onto club property.

All ATV riders must wear helmets and provide proof of insurance. Refreshments will be available, a horseshoe tourna-ment will start after lunch and music will be played into the night. Club officials would also like to remind members thatdues are due by July 1.

John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications and an avid outdoorsman. He can be reached at [email protected]

I just returned from a week-long fishing trip in the St. Regis CanoeArea where the fish hit quit e well despite the torrential rain. Notsurprisingly, we found water temperatures and hatches to be run-ning a few weeks behind this year.

Robinson to wrestle collegiately at the University of BuffaloBy Keith [email protected]

PERU — It’s a program that is on the rise,sending six wrestlers to the NCAA DivisionI wrestling tournament this past season.

Now, a four-time New York State Champi-on is hoping that the University at BuffaloBulls program will help him reach his nextgoal: National All-American.

“I’m hoping to be pretty competitive in Di-vision I and hoping to make it to the NCAA’sin my first year and place right off,” ArikRobinson, Peru’s wrestling star over the past

five seasons, said about his decision to signwith Buffalo.

Robinson signed a letter of intent to wres-tle for the Mid-American Conference Uni-versity May 5, officially joining teammatePatrick “Pappy” Hogan as a Division I ath-lete (Hogan had previously accepted an of-fer to wrestle for the Ivy League’s Harvard).

“We are using this day to celebrate the ac-complishments of out two great wrestlers inPappy and Arik,” said Athletic Director Lar-ry Ewald at the press conference whereRobinson signed his letter of intent to grap-ple for the Bulls. “We don’t get that happen-ing around here too much.”

Indians head coach Mike Hogan said thatthe commitments of Robinson and his sondoubles the amount of Division I athletes tocome out of the program from two-to-four.

Robinson said that the key factors in hisdecision were his confidence in the coachingstaff and the depth of the program.

“They have great coaches and a couple ofguys at 125 that I can work with to help makeme a great wrestler in college,” Robinsonsaid. “I saw that they had three other guysthere. I look at it as it is going to be a hard-er way for me to get onto the mat for theBulls and get me to be a better wrestler.”

Currently, the Bulls roster features fresh-

men Max and Mike Soria along with redshirtfreshmen Sean Walton at 125. The Soriabrothers wrestled previously for Kings Parkin NYSPHSAA Division I with Max finishingin third place and Mike finishing in fifthplace at the 2010 NYSPHSAA wrestlingtournament, while Walton wrestled forPalmyra-Macedon, who finished second at125 in the 2009 NYSPHSAA state tourna-ment and third at 119 in the 2008 tourna-ment.

Robinson finished his career with a recordof 180-10, winning one state title at 96, oneat 103 and the last two at 112.
