COOPERSVILLE — There was quite a sightto be seen on Laurin Drive Nov. 16, when theCoopersville School District No. 9 one-roomschoolhouse was moved on a trailer truck to itsnew location on Bechard Road.
The schoolhouse was in the back yard of Ce-line R. Paquette where it has stood for nearly70 years, after it was purchased by her father-in-law William Paquette in the 1940s and usedas a camp.
Seven years ago, Paquette contactedSuzanne Moore, also of Coopersville, about po-tentially having the building moved.
“I just didn’t have the time at the time,” re-called Moore. “So last fall she said she reallyneeds to do something. If we didn’t take it shewas going to have to have it torn down ormaybe burned as a fire exercise.”
Moore, along with Geri Favreau, Kathy Fos-her and Gloria Ashline, began to meet as a com-mittee this past January to have the school-house moved.
Moore explained Paquette contacted her be-cause Moore had grown to admire the buildingwhile researching Coopersville for her book“From the Living Stone — A History of St.Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, Coop-ersville, N.Y.”
From there Moore said she contacted Ed-
ward Bechard, who had attended the school infirst and second grade and whose father Alder-ic Bechard was the one to have the schoolclosed.
“We just went to Eddie and asked him if he’dbe interested in helping us to make it into a lit-tle museum,” Moore explained. “When I wrotethe church history book, it was clear that theschoolhouse meant a lot to him. He offered theland, he offered to pay for the move and we’rereally really grateful to Celine for donating itand to Ed for assuming the property.”
The land which Bechard offered actuallyputs the schoolhouse less than a mile from itsoriginal location on Mason Road, before it waspurchased by William Paquette.
The move received help from private con-tractor Denis Richard who helped plan themove, and Ed Garrow & Sons Inc of Platts-burgh who acquired the permits for the trans-portation of the 20-by41 foot schoolhouse.
Moore said she hopes to have an open housefor the schoolhouse at its Bechard Road loca-tion sometime in the spring, at which time itwill be the Coopersville Schoolhouse of Histo-ry. She also hopes to see it receive nonprofit sta-tus.
“We’ll have exhibits three times a year,” shesaid. “Schools can bring kids to tour the place.There’ll be some interpretive panels andthings. We’re hoping to collect all thingsschoolhouse in the area.”
“Right now there are no schoolhouses inChamplain that are saved as schoolhouses,”Moore added. “This is pretty rare.”
Now that the land on Laurin Drive has beencleared, another step Moore hopes to take is tobring in a metal detector.
“Before they closed the school, they burieda time capsule which was stuck in a canningjar,” she said. “We’re hoping to use a metal de-tector to try to find it. Nobody knows where itis.”

One-room schoolhouse on the move
The Coopersville School District No. 9 one-roomschoolhouse, which closed in 1931, was moved fromLaurin Drive in Coopersville to Bechard Road Nov.16. The committee involved in moving the school-house is working to make it a nonprofit organizationand a museum.
PLATTSBURGH — The history of Clin-ton County can now be seen in 183 photo-graphs.
Clinton County historian Anastasia Prattspent seven months working with ArcadiaPublishing on her first book, “ClintonCounty (Images of America).”The bookjoins hundreds of others in the Images ofAmerica series which as been produced byArcadia Publishing since 1993.
“It’s photos from all over the county putinto eight different categories to show lifeduring the earliest times to the present,”Pratt explained of the book.
“As a historian, I have access to all thesewonderful photos and I’d like more peopleto be aware of them,” she added.
Pratt said Arcadia Publishing was inter-ested in doing something on the wholecounty, with specific books about Cham-
plain and Chazy already having been pub-lished.
According to Pratt, the book featuresphotos ranging from farms in Ellenburg, tologging trucks, to the Plattsburgh Air ForceBase, and numerous local churches.
“Every photo has a caption and the cap-tions had some research explaining the his-tory in each photo,” she said, adding mostof the photos speak for themselves.
“There should be at least one image inevery [town],” Pratt added. “I tried veryhard to make sure there were.”
However, with the quick turnaroundtime of the book, Pratt admits she’s alreadyfound some mistakes, which will be fixedin future editions.
“We had two photos in particular thatwere in the collection and labeled incor-rectly and so people have been kindenough to tell me that and tell me stories togo along with the photos,” she explained.
Pratt said she also hopes to hear some
more storiesat her upcom-ing book sign-ing to takeplace at Cor-ner-StoneBookstore onMargaretStreet Saturday, Nov. 27, from 1 to 3 p.m.
“I do hope that people will come andlook at some pictures and tell me some ofthe fun stories,” she said. “Or things thatthey remember about particular places. Ithink that’s what I hope more than any-thing. It’ll be a time to share some storiesof the past.”
Although she doesn’t know if she’ll bethe author, Pratt said she hopes more bookswill be published in the Images of Americaseries focusing on Plattsburgh and some ofthe surrounding towns.
Copies of Clinton County (Images ofAmerica) can be found in Plattsburgh atCorner-Stone Bookstore, the Clinton Coun-ty Historical Association, Peaceful Dove,Meyers Gifts and Walgreens. Conroy’s Or-ganics in West Chazy, and CornerstoneDrug and Gift in Rouses Point, also carrythe book.

Saturday, Nov. 20, isthe 25th anniver-sary of the Win-
dows operating system.The first release was aptlynamed Windows 1 whilethe latest is Windows 7,but in between, Windowsnaming schemes werevery inconsistent.
The first two releases ofWindows were only avail-able to buyers of IBM,Compaq and a few othercomputer brands. Thegeneral public would not be able to pickup a copy of Windows until the release ofWindows 3. Those first three versionswere odd in that they were not actuallyoperating systems they were operatingenvironments meaning the Windows in-terface rode on top of the true underlyingoperating system called Disk OperatingSystem (DOS).
During the Windows 3 period, Mi-crosoft split the line-up between con-sumers and businesses with the release ofthe NT line. Windows NT was unique inthat it did not run on top of DOS; it wasa true preemptive multi-tasking operat-ing system that operated in protectedmode resulting in more stable operation.The last numbered version was NT4.
For the next few years, Microsoft aban-
doned straight versionnumbers in favor of re-lease year numbers givingus the 9X consumer seriesthat included Windows95, 98 and the simply aw-ful Windows Millennium.The business series wentfrom NT4 to Windows2000.
After Y2K, Microsoftchanged course again bymerging the separate con-sumer and business linesand they stopped using a
naming scheme with numbers in favor ofstraight names. The next Windows re-lease would be XP, which enjoyed thelongest run of all previous Windows ver-sions, followed by Vista.
Today with Windows 7, we’re rightback where we started from with straightversion numbers. Initial reporting on thenext version say Microsoft will call itWindows 8? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Tech Talk By Ron Poland
(Editor’s Note: The following is reprinted from theWyoming County Office for the Aging newsletter.)
Iam now, probably for the first time in my life,the person I have always wanted to be. Oh,not my body! I sometime despair over my
body, the wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the lovehandles. Often, I am taken aback by that old per-son that lives in my mirror, but I don’t agonize overthose things for long. I would never trade my amaz-ing friends, my wonderful life, and my loving fam-ily for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I’ve aged,I’ve become kinder to myself, and less critical ofmyself. I’ve become my own friend. I don’t chidemyself for eating that extra cookie, or for not mak-ing my bed, or for buying that silly cement geckothat I didn’t need but looks so avante garde on mypatio.
I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extrav-agant. I have seen too many dear friends leave thisworld too soon; before they understood the greatfreedom that comes with aging. Whose business isit if I choose to read or play on the computer until4 a.m. and sleep until 10? I will dance with myselfto those wonderful tunes of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s.I will walk the beach in a swimsuit and I will diveinto the waves with abandon if I choose to, despitethe pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, willget old. Hee Hee I know I am sometimes forgetful.But there again, some of life is just as well forgot-ten. I eventually remember the important things.Sure, over the years my heart has been broken.How can your heart not break when you lose aloved one, or when a child suffers, or even whensomebody’s beloved pet gets hit by a car or dies ofold age? Broken hearts are what give us strengthand understanding and compassion. A heart nev-
er broken ispristine andsterile and willnever know thejoy of being im-perfect. I am soblessed to havelived longenough to havemy hair turninggray, and tohave my youth-ful laughs beforever etched into deep grooves on my face. Somany have never laughed, and so many have diedbefore their hair could turn silver. As you get old,it is easier to be positive. You care less about whatother people think. I don’t question myself any-more. I’ve even earned the right to be wrong (some-times more than I like).
So, to answer your question, I like being old. Ithas set me free. I like the person I have become. Iam not going to live forever, but while I am stillhere, I will not waste time lamenting what couldhave been, or worrying about what will be. And Ishall eat dessert every single day, if I feel like it.

Paperwhites (Narcissustazetta) are popular in-door plants for winter.
Unlike other narcissus whichare also known as daffodils, pa-perwhites don’t require a chill-ing period, so forcing them is aseasy as putting the bulbs in wa-ter and waiting. The fragrantflowers bloom within about twoto three weeks of planting, foralmost instant gratification.
A problem with paperwhites,as with many bulbs planted inpots, is they grow quite tall andall of their weight is at the top. Researchers in theFlowerbulb Research Program at Cornell Univer-sity have come up with an unusual solution tothis top heavy problem: alcohol.
When paperwhite bulbs are grown in a dilutesolution of alcohol, the plants reach a height of1/3 to 1/2 their normally expected growth — butthe flowers remain normal size and last just aslong.
To stunt your paperwhites with alcohol, sim-ply pot your paperwhites as you normally wouldin stones and water. Once the roots begin grow-ing and the green shoot on top reaches about 1-2inches in height, pour off the existing water. Thenreplace the water with a solution of 5 percent al-cohol. Continue to use the alcohol solution for allfuture waterings.
When making an alcohol solution, use any
hard liquor such as vodka. Rub-bing alcohol can also be used.Beer and wine have too muchsugar and should be avoided.After selecting your alcohol, de-termine the percent of alcohol.Most liquors are labeled asproof. To get the percentage sim-ply divide the proof in half. A 86proof bourbon, for example,would be 43 percent alcohol.
To get the alcohol contentdown to 5 percent, just dividethe percentage of alcohol by 5and then subtract 1. That will
tell you how many parts water to mix with your1 part alcohol. For example, a 40 percent alcoholdivided by 5 is 8. Subtract one and your get 7. So,for every seven tablespoons of water your needto have one tablespoon of alcohol to get a solu-tion of 5 percent.
Whatever you do, if you try this growingmethod, make sure your solution is no more than10 percent alcohol. If it is greater than 10 percent,your plants will overdose and severe growthproblems will occur. Also, make sure pets andyoung children cannot get into the solution! Thenenjoy your shorter and sturdier paperwhites!

Getting sturdier paperwhitesPrices stabilized for groceries in the Platts-
burgh area this month, which is a reliefafter three months of increases. The 41
items came in at $94.11 in October, up a few centsfrom September’s cost of $93.96, and up 1 per-cent from last October’s cost of $93.11.
For the month of October, prices stayed rela-tively the same in most categories, with the ex-ception of a 5 percent decrease on produce and a7 percent increase on miscellaneous items. Forthe year there was a 10 percent increase on meatsand a 7 percent decrease on frozen foods.
Costs for 10 pounds of round white potatoesand yellow onions dropped this month, althoughonions are still 14 percent higher than October2009. Carrots and red Delicious apples are bothalso up for the year.
Chopped spinach was on sale in many storesthis month, preventing the total of items from thefrozen food case from increasing despite higherprices on both store brand ice cream and had-dock.
Drinks prices continue to be stable overall, but100 store brand tea bags are 31 cents less this yearthan last.
After trending upwards for several months,canned goods had a slight decrease this month.The cost of all products priced in this categoryare down from October 2009: Del Monte fruitcocktail, Green Giant peas, store brand dicedtomatoes, Starkist chunk tuna fish and storebrand vegetable soup in beef stock.
A drop back to the more normal $1.22 perdozen large eggs helped keep dairy prices fromspiking due to the increase of the cost of a poundof store brand butter again this month. The priceon this item is 55 cents higher than this time lastyear.
Prices on meats were up overall and continue
to fluctuateon particularcuts. For theyear there hasbeen a 28 per-cent increaseon chucksteak and 23percent onone pound ofOscar Mayerbacon, withincreases onall cuts exceptground chuck.
In the breads, cereals and grains category, sug-ar finally decreased slightly in cost for the month.It is still 9 percent more expensive than thismonth last year. Hopefully, the cost of this impor-tant holiday baking ingredient will continuedownward.

Bob Lavergne’s crewhad seen the buck theday before and knew it
carried some significant bone,but none had considered it wasthe buck of local legend knownas “split ear.”
Deer often wander into townto yard during the long wintermonths in Indian Lake, andfolks here had seen the deer re-turn year after year.
In fact, a local taxidermisthad recovered a matching set ofsheds from the buck andmounted them on another cape— the impressive non-typical rack scored closeto 190.
But Lavergne was hunting in a stretch ofproperty by the Cedar River, miles from town.No one in the crew expected the big non-typi-cal to make an appearance.
That, however, was about to change.It was the morning of Saturday, Nov. 6, and
Lavergne decided to split from the crew whowere making drives and still hunt his way alongthe side of a ridge where the crew had seen thedeer the day before.
Minutes later he caught movement along theridge and pulled his 30-06 to his shoulder.
“I wasn’t really concentrating on the rack, Iknew it had good antler, but I was more worriedabout making an accurate shot,” Lavergne said.
When he pulled the trigger, the deer
“dropped from the scope,” hesaid.
Upon approaching the deer,Lavergne said he was amazed atthe sheer mass and tines — 21in all. Then, he noticed the iden-tifiable split in the deer ’s ear,and knew he had shot the bignon-typical so many had pur-sued in the past.
Sightings around town putthe deer at more than 10 yearsold — an extreme age for awhitetail in the Adirondacks.The buck weighed just 178pounds, making the rack, which
stands a full 20-inches off the deer ’s skull, lookout of character with the body.
Lavergne, 44, is having the buck mountedand will have it scored once the drying periodpasses.
Richard Johndrow, measurer chairman of theNew York State Big Buck Club, studied photo-graphs of the deer and estimated its net score inthe 160 range.
Johndrow said the largest non-typical evertaken in New Yorks was the Homer Boylan racktaken in 1939 and it scored just over 244. Thesecond largest was taken in St. Lawrence Coun-ty by Ken Locy which net scored just over 225.There are 38 non-typical racks, he said, nettingover 190 in the state. The 38th largest was tak-en by Frank Dagles in Bolton Landing in 1961— a 15-pointer netting just over 190.
Nevertheless, Johndrow lauded Lavergne fortaking such a massive trophy in the northernAdirondacks.
“It’s truly a dream of a lifetime to see a big
racked buck that you can get a crack at,” he said.
John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publi-cations. He can be reached at [email protected].
North River resident Bob Lavergne stands with the 21-point buck he shot Nov. 6 in Indian Lake.

Weight training is an important part ofany exercise program however, thisweek I will be focusing on the bene-
fits that weight training holds for women. Many of the common issues women face can be
addressed thought lifting weights: Body fat,stress, weakness, insomnia, osteoporosis, poorbalance, etc.
You really don’t need a lot of fancy equipmentor expensive gym memberships to train withweights. All you really need are a couple pair ofhand weights to get you started. It will most like-ly take you a couple times to figure out what sizeweights you should be using for each exercise, butyou want to make sure the weight is heavy enoughand not too easy. The object is to lift weights heavy enough to build muscle, whichin turn will speed up your metabolism and burn more fat. Weight training is a weightbearing activity which with consistency over time (at least six months) you will be-gin to increase your bone density which helps to prevent osteoporosis. Many womenreport after weight training they get a better night sleep. It can also be a great stressreliever taking your mind off other things while you are focusing on breathing, prop-er form, and technique. I have seen the confidence level in many of my women clientsimprove immensely even after a couple weeks of weight training three times a week.
When it comes to weight loss, or rather, fat loss, there is a lot more to it than justweight training or cardio exercise alone. Women On Weights is now offering uniqueclasses to teach you everything you need to know to get results. Classes are small,to offer more individualized attention. It is actually more like a small group person-al training session. You will be given the tools you need to see the results you want.
Over the course of the 10-week session, you will progressively work up to heav-ier weights and more advanced exercises appropriate for you and your group. Youwill be given a detailed print out of the exercises done in class to help you alongwhen you are on your own. You will also be given a cardio plan and nutritionalguidelines to follow. An individualized sample meal plan will be developed specif-ically for you to get you started.
Nutrition, is a huge part of getting the results you want. About 80 percent of yourresults come right from what you are putting into your body. That is why I find it soimportant to teach my clients about nutrition. We will take measurements along theway to track your progress and you will have unlimited support from me because Iwant to see you succeed.
Women On Weights is now also offering Weight Management education which isdone on an individual basis. Our weight management program will educate youover the course of eight weeks on how to incorporate fitness, wellness, and propernutrition into your lifestyle. Anyone wishing to sign up for a weight managementpackage before Jan. 1, will also receive one free private personal training session.

PLATTSBURGH — Ten-year-old Devin Fourniercould go blind at any moment.
Immediately after Devin was born, he was officially di-agnosed with retinoschisis, an eye disease.
According to the University of Michigan Kellogg EyeCenter, retinoschisis is a disease of the eye’s nerve tissue,and is actually a form of macular degeneration.
“My sister had an older boy and he was diagnosed withit when he was younger,” explained Devin’s mother, Su-san Fournier. “It was told to us by the doctor that us girlswould be the carriers and the boys would get the dis-ease.”
Susan explained when she found out she was pregnantwith Devin she had genetic testing done and when he wasborn the umbilical cord blood was tested, confirmingDevin had the disease.
“He can lose his eyesight at any time,” said Susan. “If Devin gets a major blow to his head, he could go
[blind] then,” she added. “Every time he gets hit in thehead, I’m like ‘Oh gosh, Devin, can you see me?’”
Every six months, since Devin was just three monthsold, he has been going to Vermont to have his eyes close-ly examined to make sure the disease has not progressed.These evaluations require Devin be put under anesthe-sia.
“They put him under anesthesia because it’s so in-tense,” Susan explained. “Devin just can’t do the light be-cause he’s so light-sensitive in his eyes. So, they just do itthat way so they don’t hurt him and he doesn’t hurt any-body.”
When the testing in Vermont brings any concerns,Devin then has to have additional testing done at theBeaumont Hospital in Michigan, which happened thispast August.
With the family being on a fixed income, Susan con-tacted the Make-A-Wish Foundation to find out if therewas any assistance they could receive. Although thewoman on the other end of the phone said they don’t pro-vide that type of assistance, she did ask Susan if shewould be interested in applying for a wish, which isgranted to children with potentially life-threateningmedical conditions.
Devin’s wish of a shopping spree was granted atChamplain Centre mall Nov. 11.
Following a trip to Maui North to receive a new bike,Devin took a limousine ride to the mall where he wasgreeted by numerous employees. Many of the employ-ees took up collections and purchased gifts for Devin, in-cluding a scooter from Best Buy, a teddy bear from Hall-
mark, and a gift card from Game Stop.“This was a great example of the community coming
together,” said Make-A-Wish field office coordinator Pa-tricia Reyell-MacMannis. “Everything truly made himfeel like a VIP.”
“They were absolutely thrilled,” Champlain Centremarketing director Joan LaPier said of the mall’s employ-ees. “I went around to the stores with information con-cerning Devin and they were all so excited.”
“It was a very heartfelt experience for everyone,” sheadded.
Devin came home from his four-hour shopping spreewith an Xbox 360, mini laptop, and flat screen television.He also bought an iPod Touch for his sister, ShawntelBrown.
Although Susan admits Devin was slightly over-whelmed by the whole experience, he was also ecstatic.
“He loves everything he got and everything every-body did for him,” she said. “It was such a nice thing.”
“They’re great,” Susan added of the Make-A-WishFoundation. “If anybody needs a wish, I would say, callMake-A-Wish.”
For more information about the Make-A-Wish Foun-dation, visit www.wish.org.
More about retinoschisisAccording to the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye
Center, juvenile X-linked retinoschisis affects primarilyboys and young men.
Retinoschisis affects one in 5,000 to 25,000 individuals,often young males. Two aspects of vision are typically af-fected, including central vision and peripheral vision.
Visual acuity can range from 20/30 to less than 20/200,caused by the formation of tiny cysts in the retina. Visu-al acuity cannot be improved with glasses, as the cysts of-ten cause nerve damage.
Currently, there are no medical or surgical treatmentsavailable for retinoschisis.

PLATTSBURGH — The Clinton Community CollegeLady Cougars soccer team have gone down in history.
The team won their final match of the season againstGenesee Community College of Batavia at PrinceGeorge Community College in Largo, Md., Nov. 7.There they were declared the National Junior CollegeAthletic Association Division III champions, the firstteam at CCC to ever have the distinction.
A special ceremony was held for the ladies Nov. 10,where family and friends filled the seats and numerouspolitical and academic leaders congratulated the team.
“This is such an honor, not just for Clinton Commu-nity College, but the entire North Country and partic-ularly for women,” said Assemblywoman Teresa R. Say-ward, R-Willsboro. “Very often it’s the guys that get onthe front page of the newspaper with all the picturesand the splash and the hoorah, but we have a group ofwomen here who’ve done more than most of our maleteams have been able to accomplish this year and we’rejust so proud of you.”
The team returned home with 17 straight wins undertheir belts, even though they began the season with a“shaky start.”
“We started the year a little shaky as everybody knows,”said coach Donna Dixon. “There’s one particular momentthat stands in my mind. It was after we had lost our secondgame, we were in practice and [assistant coach Melanie De-fayette] and I were talking about raising the bar.”
”We brought them together and we said ‘Guys, we’re go-ing to raise the bar, we’re going to push you,’” Dixon added.“And Katie McIntosh said, ‘Coach, you can raise the bar ashigh as you want and we’ll match it.’ And that’s exactlywhat they did all season long.”
CCC president John E. Jablonski shared similar senti-
ments.“What they demonstrated is what a can-do attitude
and with the team work that they have demonstrated,that is a powerful combination. That’s very tough tobeat,” he said.
Assemblywoman Janet L. Duprey, R-Peru, also not-ed the girls overcame years of competition to join asa team.
“As I looked through the list of you who are on theteam and I realized most of you, if not all of you, com-peted against each other. I’m sure for many years,”Duprey explained. “And to take that competition, jointogether, and become national champions, says vol-umes for each of you as young ladies and certainlyyour two coaches.”
Duprey added once the Assembly is back in session,both Sayward and she would bring forth a resolutionhonoring the team.
Resolutions were also passed by the PlattsburghTown Council, presented by Supervisor Bernard C.Bassett, and the Faculty Council of CCC, presented byDavid Swarts.
Following the tournament, McIntosh and ChelseaLaRose took home National Tournament honors, be-ing named to the All Tournament Team. Kelly Luciawas named Tournament Defensive Player and Kim
Dragoon was named Most Valuable Player of the tourna-ment. Dixon was named Mountain Valley Athletic Confer-ence Coach of the Year just prior to the tournament and alsotook top honors being named Most Valuable Coach of thetournament.

PLATTSBURGH — Turkey? Check. Stuffing?Check. Cranberry sauce? Check. Enough foodfor more than 300 people? You’d better believeit.
Though Thanksgiving is the time of yearmany are preparing for small family gatheringsaround the dinner table, it’s also the time of yearthe Plattsburgh chapter of The Salvation Armyis busily preparing for its own community meal.
“We served about 350 people last year,” saidkitchen coordinator Marjorie Minckler. “And,we didn’t run out of anything.”
The local Salvation Army chapter has beenhosting the dinner for several years, each timeputting on a spread aimed at providing a freeholiday meal to the less fortunate.
“I feel very good about it,” Minckler said of
hosting the meal. “I love to cook and I love toserve. That’s why I do what I do at the SalvationArmy.”
Last Thanksgiving was Minckler’s first timeoverseeing the community meal, assisted by herdaughter, Lilian LaPier, who also works at thelocal Salvation Army. Both were overwhelmedby the turnout.
“It’s amazing how many people came out,”said LaPier. “You don’t realize how many peo-ple come to it until they’re all there.”
“I’m happy everybody gets to go to it,” saidMinckler. “And, I’m glad I’m a part of it.”
Preparation for the meal typically begins threeto four weeks in advance, said Minckler, withshe and LaPier knee-deep in last-minute foodprep.
“We’re working on squash and stuffing anddoing all the upcoming preparations for themeal,” Minckler said last week as she stood inthe kitchen at the South Catherine Street Salva-
tion Army center.“We’ve been working on squash all day, and
we’ve only got three pans done,” said LaPier,laughing.
Donations from the community have begun topour in for the meal, which relies heavily on thegenerosity of people in the North Country. Thepreplanned menu will consist of turkey, ham,mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, green beancasserole, squash, cranberry sauce, apple crisp,apple pie, pumpkin pie, cheese and crackers,pepperoni and dinner rolls.
Currently, Minckler said she is in need of morehams, canned vegetables and pies, if people arewilling to donate them. Monetary donations arealso accepted to help offset the cost of the meal.
“Every little bit helps,” she said.The meal will be hosted at Elks Lodge 621, 56
Cumberland Ave., next Thursday, Nov. 25, be-ginning at 12 p.m. Seating will begin at 11:30 a.m.
Transportation will be provided to and from

Event raises more than$22k for Special OlympicsBy Jeremiah S. [email protected]
PLATTSBURGH — It was a nice day for aswim — except for the fact the water tem-perature was in the 40s.
Despite the near freezing conditions ofLake Champlain, hundreds gathered atPlattsburgh City Beach for the first annualFreezin’ for a Reason Polar Plunge Nov. 13.The reason? Supporting Special OlympicsNew York, an organization that hosts an an-nual state competition for those with intel-lectual disabilities.
Michelle Menard, one of the organizersfor the event, couldn’t believe the turnoutfor both the plunge and the preview partyand silent auction hosted the night before.Combined, the two events raised more than$22,000.
“I was shocked, totally shocked,” saidMenard. “The first couple weeks, there wasonly about $1,000 posted on-line, and then,in the past couple days, it just exploded. It’sbeen so great for the community and every-body that helped out. Everybody’s beentalking about it.”
“We had heard about it and thought it wasa great cause,” said Megan Gruschow, a stu-dent at the State University of New York atPlattsburgh who participated with the Stu-dent Nursing Association team. “I’m goingto school for special education, so it was a
great opportunity to be a part of this.”Did Gruschow’s thoughts change once
she stepped foot in the water? Not at all.But, just what was running through her
mind when her toes touched the lake for thefirst time that day?
“That I was insane,” she said, laughing.“But, it’s an experience I will never forget. I
was freezing, but it was awesome.”“I don’t think I was thinking anything, to
be honest. I just went in,” said Gruschow’sfriend and teammate, Emily Vallone. “Weactually went back in three times. This is ourlast year at Plattsburgh State, so we want toexperience as much as we can and this is agreat cause. We figured, why not?
The enthusiasm of participants like Gr-uschow and Vallone impressed Kaila Hor-ton, associate director of development forSpecial Olympics of New York. And, the factthe event raised more than $20,000 in its firstyear was even more amazing, she said.
“We were expecting 150, maybe 200 peo-ple. I know that we definitely had 200 peo-ple that participated today, not even count-ing the spectators,” said Horton. “There areprobably 300 to 400 people here.”
“This event just blew away my expecta-tions,” she added.
The event even drew local dignitaries likeMayor Donald M. Kasprzak, Clinton Coun-ty Sheriff David N. Favro, Clinton CountyDistrict Attorney Andrew J. Wylie and EssexCounty Kristy Sprague, among others.
The support shown by them and the hun-dreds of others is encouraging for the eventto be even bigger and better next year, saidMenard.
“We’ve already got more people who areready to sign up, so we’re pretty excitedabout that,” she said.
Those who were unable to participate inthe event but who would still like to make adonation to Special Olympics New Yorkmay contact Horton at 388-0790, ext. 129.

United WayFrom page 1
in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties.Kirk A. Stallsmith, chairman of the local
United Way’s 2010-11 fundraising cam-paign, is co-chairing the event with GroundRound manager Bob Kidwell, also a memberof the fundraising campaign team. The ideabehind the event was to broaden the partic-ipation in giving to the United Way and in-creasing community involvement.
“The thought was to develop an event thatcan reach across all three counties and in-volve a segment of the market that could getexcited about participating in the annualUnited Way campaign efforts,” said Stall-smith.
Dine Out for United Way — which will beheld across the tri-county region Thursday,Jan. 13, 2011 — encourages people to go outto eat at participating businesses duringdesignated times that day, with as much as10 percent of the total gross sales at eachrestaurant to go to the United Way.
“Participating restaurants will sign up todonate a percentage of their proceeds fromthe evening and where it is possible wewould like to offer an opportunity for wait-staff to do likewise,” explained Stallsmith.“It is a time of year after Christmas and NewYear ’s where business may be a bit slower.We hope the restaurant community gets ex-cited about the event.”
Kidwell said he has a good feeling manyothers will as well.
“Working in the restaurant business is abusy job and it’s always a struggle to run thebusiness and find time to give back to thecommunity,” he said. “This is a perfect wayto do that.”
The day of Dine Out for United Way willalso be a chance for restaurant patrons tobenefit themselves. Those who dine at par-ticipating restaurants and say they are “Din-ing Out for United Way” can enter into adrawing for raffle prizes donated to theUnited Way, including signed Buffalo Billsand New York Jets jerseys, gift certificates,and gift baskets from Adirondack SpecialtyFood. After the event, tickets will be collect-ed from the participating restaurants andwinners will be drawn.
John C. Bernardi, executive director of theUnited Way of the Adirondack Region, saidhe looks forward to the event and hopesrestaurants and their patrons alike will re-spond like he believes they will.
“This is a great opportunity to engage ourfriends and neighbors across the region tosupport our very important mission,” hesaid,
Dine Out for United Way is currently inthe planning stages, with letters seeking in-terest from hundreds of businesses acrossthe region being mailed out the beginning ofnext week.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (PG 13)
PLATTSBURGH — Paul Henry Danylewich’s motivation as apublic speaker is simple: to make young women aware abusiverelationships are possible and they don’t have to live with them.
Danylewich’s message was heard by approximately 200 areahigh school girls at the first annual Plattsburgh Girl ConferenceNov. 3, held at the Senior Citizens Council of Clinton CountySenior Center. Students from Beekmantown, Chateaugay,Crown Point, Lake Placid, North Wood, Keene Valley and Wills-boro high schools were bussed in for the day-long event broughtto Plattsburgh by the Montreal speaker.
“We wanted to make young women aware of the fact thesethings are happening,” said Danylewich, who serves as direc-tor of White Tiger, a professional security consulting group thatspecializes in personal safety. “We wanted to debunk the mythsome people have that this happens only in bigger cities. It canhappen anywhere.”
Danylewich said he was inspired to start the Girl ConferenceSeries as a way to commemorate the lives of 14 young womenshot Dec. 6, 1989, in Montreal’s École Polytechnique Massacre.The women were murdered by Marc Lépine, who blamedwomen for him not being accepted into the engineering school.Lépine went into a school and separated the women and the menin the classroom and executed the young women before com-mitting suicide.
After the shootings, Canada recognized the day to rememberthe victims but Danylewich said just having a day to rememberthe loss of the female students wasn’t enough, he wanted towork on preventative training for young women.
“It’s important to commemorate them, but also to use their
story to proactively educate others,” said Danylewich. “Wewanted to turn that terrible day into something good.”
The Nov. 3 conference included self-defense demonstrationsby Mya Khan and musical performances by Canadian artistsShaharah and Anastasia, testimonies of young women who havebeen in abusive relationships.
State University of New York at Plattsburgh Gender andWomens studies professor Dr. Simona Sharoni did an exercisewith the young women to list ingredients of a healthy relation-ship.
Shahara said one of the reasons she wanted to participate inthe Girl Conference Series was because when she was 17, shewas in an verbally, mentally and financially abusive relation-ship.
“When I was their age I didn’t know about all the types ofabuse. For me abuse just meant physical so I thought to myselfas long as someone wasn’t hitting me that I was being respect-ed and was being loved in the proper way,” Shaharah said. “Ithink its great to be involved in teaching these girls about allthe different types of abuse and what their local resources areso that when they do recognize that they are in abusive relation-ship they know what to do and where to go.”
Beekmantown school counselor Jennifer Duffy said she andother staff members thought the conference would be beneficialto young girls as they prepare to leave their parents’ homes forcollege, giving them knowledge of what to do in an emergency.
“We wanted them to learn some safety tips that they shouldbe made aware of in certain situations,” said Duffy.
“If even one girl from the conference learned something thatwill get them out of a bad relationship or prevents them frombeing beaten, it was worth it,” said Danylewich.
Editor Jeremiah S. Papineau contributed to this report.
Two Beekmantown High School students practiced self de-fense techniques to defend themselves against an attacker.In this move instructor Mya Phan showed the students howto defend themselves if an attacker attempted to stranglethem.
