SCHUYLER FALLS — David R. Justusis hoping for a Christmas miracle.
This year marks the 40th season heand his wife, Marion, will help providetoys for children at Christmastimethrough their organization, “Justus forthe Children.” However, this year couldbe the final year of the program.
Earlier this year, the North Country-man first reported how Justus for theChildren was beginning its 40th yearwith an approximately $7,000 deficit.
“We’re still a little bit over $7,000down right now,” said Justus, who pre-viously noted he and his wife, who op-erate Justus for the Children from theirSoper Street home, had to take out a loanto finish funding the program for the2009 Christmas season.
“This year is way worse than lastyear,” he said.
Justus for the Children has fallen fi-nancially short due largely to the in-creased number of people the organiza-tion serves, said Justus. When Justus for
the Children was started in 1960, it ini-tially helped only families in the sur-rounding community. Over the years, itgrew to help those throughout Clinton,Essex and Franklin counties. And,though that has led to further strain onthe program’s bottom line, Justus saidhe feels it’s important to not turn awayany family experiencing hard times, es-pecially during the holidays. That’s be-cause, during his childhood, Justus wentwithout many Christmases. He vowedthat when he grew up other kids would-n’t go through the same thing, if hecould help it.
“We want kids to have something un-der the tree,” said Justus. “It’s impor-tant. But, just when we get one loan paidoff, it’s time to get another one to startall over again.”
“I don’t want to quit, but I don’t wantto dig the hole so deep we can’t get outof it,” he added.
The success of Justus for the Childrenhas relied on the generosity from friendsand supporters of the program over theyears, including American Legion Post1619 in West Plattsburgh and members
of the New York State Corrections Offi-cer and Police Benevolent Association.However, this year, NYSCOPBA mem-bers were unable to provide a financialcontribution to Justus for the Children,leaving a big gap in the program’s fund-ing.
“That’s at least $4,000 right there,”said Justus. “But, we’re still going to tryto pull this thing off.”
The Justuses will continue gatheringdonations of new and unused toys as theprogram’s distribution season beginsand are reaching out to the community,in particular larger organizations andbusinesses, to help them in their mis-sion.
“Anything anyone can do will help,”said Justus.
Those interested in helping Justus forthe Children may reach the Justuses at643-0855. Donations may also be sent incare of Justus for the Children, 316 Sop-er St., Morrisonville N.Y. 12962.

Toys for Tots heading for Rouses Point SundayBy Sarah L. [email protected]
ROUSES POINT — The U.S. Marine Corps Re-serve Toys for Tots Train is headed north thisChristmas.
For more than 10 years, Sharon Ramsey hassent people down to Plattsburgh from RousesPoint to gather toys from the Toys for Tots trainto help the people of the North Country, on be-half of St. Patrick’s Church.
This year, however, the train will be going toRouses Point instead, this Sunday, Dec. 5, at 4:30p.m.
“They had called and they were very disap-pointed. They go, ‘I’m sorry we’re not stoppingin Plattsburgh’ and I go ‘Well ,where are youstopping?’ And they go, ‘Well, Rouses Point,’and I said, ‘That’s okay, that’s right up the streetfrom me,” recalled Ramsey.
Marine Gunnery Sgt. Albert Roman, the Al-bany-area coordinator of Toys for Tots, said thedecision to change the stops was based on feed-back from local nonprofit organizations.
“It was more convenient to hit more people inRouses Point than stopping in Plattsburgh,” saidRoman. “We’ll be able to reach out to more peo-ple by just moving 30 minutes up north and notconflict with anybody.”
Though that may potentially be a concern for
people in the Plattsburgh area, Ramsey notedmany people have traveled from the NorthernTier in years past, often returning home in badweather conditions.
“If there’s a blizzard Sunday, then they onlyhave to go about seven miles,” she said.
Regardless, Ramsey said people are still look-ing forward to the train’s arrival. And, althoughRamsey typically doesn’t go to meet the trainherself, she has heard it is quite exciting.
“The train pulls up, and I guess the Marinesare there and they have little forms and they justcall out the names and I guess there’s kids thereand they give them toys and sometimes Santa’sthere,” she explained. “It’s quite a big to-do.”
St. Patrick’s Church volunteers typically re-ceive about 50-60 toys from the train, which arein turn distributed to various families in the area.
“It’s to anybody,” said Ramsey. “We kind ofwant to keep them in this end of the North Coun-try. You can be from Alburg, you can be fromMorrisonville, I don’t care.”
Another way in which St. Patrick’s Churchhelps the people of the North Country is throughtheir annual Christmas Party. This year ’s eventwill be held in the church’s basement, Sunday,Dec. 12, from 1-3 p.m.
“We have a rummage sale in the spring andsome of that money goes towards this toy party,”said Ramsey, who organizes the event. “Eventu-ally, by the end of the season we usually provide
between 200 to 300 toys on our own to localkids.”
The party, which usually sees about 100 kids,will give out a gift to each child, who will alsoget to spend time with Santa Claus.
“We want to see as many kids as we can,” saidRamsey. “We definitely will have toys for at least
the first 200 kids.”Although St. Patrick’s Church is involved in
the Christmas Party and Toys for Tots, it is not arequirement to be Catholic in order to receive agift. For more information, contact the church at297-7361.
Editor Jeremiah S. Papineau contributed to this report.
The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Train will be stopping at the Amtrak station in Rouses Point thisSunday, Dec. 5. The train will stop in the Northern Tier this year in lieu of its traditional stop at the Amtrakstation in Plattsburgh, as seen in this photo from last year’s stop.

Computers are ubiq-uitous. Routinelyfound at home,
school, and the work place,they are as common as atoaster. Jumping on-line tosocialize, read e-mail, workon a project or just plain oc-cupy free time now routinelyconsumes a piece of our day.
Kids are naturally attract-ed to the activity with the at-traction starting at a youngage. Many parents believeteaching computer skills tochildren ranks high on the list of parentalresponsibilities. They are motivated togive the child an edge with early develop-ment of computer skills or simply by thethought of teaching safe and practical use.No matter what drives the motivation,what is the right time to introduce kids tothe computer?
According to the Family Internet sec-tion on about.com, there is no set time.Parents should decide based on all thetypical criteria used for many of the otherdecisions parents must make. Take a lookat their thoughts by visiting www.family-internet. about.com.
Let’s talk about the kids between theearly years of six or seven and the teenageyears when they have become much more
computer savvy. At theyounger age, parentsmay sit and guide themthrough games leavingthem to play alone forperiods, which is fine forthe younger kids. Whatabout slightly olderkids, say second or thirdgraders who can readfairly well, been exposedto computing more, andwant to do more on acomputer? The answer isKidZui.

According to theCourtland Coun-ty Area Agency
on Aging’s most recentnewsletter, Amanda’s Lawis a law named for AmandaHansen, a 16-year-old fromwestern New York Statewho died of carbon monox-ide poisoning at a sleep-over in a friend’s house.The home’s boiler malfunc-tioned, producing poison-ous, odorless, colorless car-bon monoxide gas, whichreached the sleepover area.
Carbon monoxide is produced when com-bustible fuel (oil, natural gas, propane,wood, coal, charcoal, kerosene) does notburn completely. It can be produced insidethe home by many non-electric sources suchas stoves, furnaces, wood stoves, grills anddryers. There is also a danger from sourcesin an attached garage, such as running lawnmowers, snow blowers and generators orwarming up a car.
In order to prevent further tragic deathsfrom this silent killer, Amanda’s Law wentinto effect in New York State Feb. 22. The lawapplies to all residences, both new and exist-ing.
Homes constructed on or after January 1,2008, must have a carbon monoxide detector
on each level of the home hav-ing a sleeping area, and on eachlevel of the home where a car-bon monoxide source is located.
Homes constructed prior toJan. 1, 2008, retroactive — noexceptions — must have a car-bon monoxide detector on thelowest level of the home havinga sleeping area.
Carbon monoxide detectorsare widely available in homeimprovement stores, hardwarestores and in the hardware sec-tion of large department stores.
They are small and easy to install (they pluginto existing outlets).
The purpose of Amanda’s Law is to savelives. If you are a home owner, install carbonmonoxide detector(s) as soon as possible, ifyou have not already done so. If you are arenter, contact your landlord or buildingmanager about the requirements for yourliving space.

Thanks for your helpThis years “Ride to Remember” in honor of my son,
Cody Allen Sarbou, was on Sept. 26. It was put togeth-er in seven short weeks.
Thank you to: Lidia and her family for standing in therain taking registration; Casey and her family; Amy andher family; Nathalie and Christina for making a beauti-ful presentation and working hard all day for Cody.Thank you for all that participated either purchasingmemorabilia or raffles/silent auction. It wouldn’t havebeen a success without you all. Thank you to all busi-nesses that donated.
Thank you to Calvin Castine of Home Town Cable forburning the beautiful DVDs of Cody that Tyler Carrowdid. Thank you to The Border Press for making thesleeves for the DVDs and making them so special. Toboth these local businesses I cannot thank you enoughfor your kind-hearted selfless generosity. To my friendJohn Perrotte for DJing all day.
We will be giving two scholarships to students fromSCS in Cody’s name in June.
The ride was beautiful, the weather cleared and we were able to go past Cody’s secondhome, Silver Lake, where a banner was placed and where family stood waving.
We have many ideas already for next year. I am sad to say that those that said I was self-ish and could have had more riders had I chosen the route were the crash site was, need notregister or participate next year. This day was and will continue to honor his life, not hisdeath, and for his family to be told it was a mistake not to have the ride through there wasunkind.
No parent wants to revisit where their child was horrifically taken in an accident, espe-cially on a day of celebrating his life.

Help the United WayIt is a great honor to serve as your chairman for the
2011 United Way campaign.Since arriving in the North Country four years ago, it
has become evident to me and my family that we arevery fortunate to have so many caring and giving peo-ple in our community. With the current economic con-ditions, it is even more important that we challenge our-selves to broaden our reach and engage further partic-ipation in this year ’s campaign.
United Way of the Adirondack Region is “A LeaderIn Community Partnership Building And Increases TheOrganized Capacity Of People To Care For One Anoth-er.” Our network supports 36 member agencies that de-pend on our ability to provide financial resources. Ihave been actively involved with United Way for over10 years, and in each community I have witnessed thegreat results that can be obtained through the supportof your local United Way Organization.
I am a true believer in the structure and organizationwe call United Way. The money raised by United Way stays local, the decision makers arelocal and the commitment is all built on a local focus to serve North Country residents.
Take advantage of payroll deductions if your employer offers this option and if they cur-rently do not, encourage them to do so. If you are now retired and have been an active par-ticipant in the past, don’t stop; contact United Way directly to participate in this year ’s cam-paign.

Poinsettias are a wide-spread Christmas tradi-tion both for gift-giving
and holiday decorating. And eventhough they are common, they areone of my favorite holiday plants.Because I like them so much, I findit disappointing many of theselovely plants end up in the trashonce the holidays are over. Poin-settias not only make a beautifulindoor plant all year long, but canalso be coaxed to bloom againeach year in time for Christmas.
Poinsettias like lots of bright,indirect sunlight and prefer humid condi-tions. Let the soil dry out between watering.The soil should be dry to the touch. Also, besure not to let the plant stand water by leav-ing the saucer filled or letting water sit at thebottom of the foil, if the pot is wrapped.
Poinsettias are sensitive to extreme temper-ature, so don’t place your plant next to aheater or near a drafty window or doorway.A daytime temp of around 65 degrees andnights around 60 degrees will provide perfectconditions for your poinsettia.
After it flowers, gradually decrease the wa-ter until the bracts, or colored leaves, all drop,then allow the plant to dry out completely.Store in a place with cooler temperatures (50degrees).
When it really begins to warm up again inthe spring, repot your poinsettia with fresh
soil and gradually start towater and fertilize again.Around August, cut theplant back by a third.Don’t prune your plantany later than September,however, if you wish toforce it to bloom forChristmas.
Poinsettias bloom in re-sponse to shortening day-light hours. If you wish tocoax your poinsettia tobloom in time for the hol-idays, you will need to put
the plant in total darkness for at least twelvehours each night for approximately 10 weeks.Late September or early October is a goodtime to begin. You can place your plant insidea box or a closet to achieve complete dark-ness. Be sure to bring your plant out duringthe day and place it in a bright, sunny spot.
Poinsettias are a beautiful holiday tradi-tion, but your enjoyment of these plants doesnot have to end when the Christmas treecomes down. With just a little effort, you canderive pleasure from your poinsettia all yearlong and bring it to bloom for many holidayseasons to come.

As I walkedinto thewoods ear-
ly last week, a heavyfrost highlighted theintricate network ofspiderwebs criss-crossing the forestfloor. They had theappearance of a mil-lion, mini-laserbeams guarding thewoodland scene.
In the morning’slight, their websseemed to be con-necting every bush, tree and fern inthe woods. Obviously, the spiders hadbeen busy.
As I took my usual morning watch,I caught a flicker of something white,out of the corner of my eye. Was it awhitetail?
My heart rate went up, but I re-mained calm. I was being careful notto startle a deer with the quick turn ofmy head, and I moved slowly to seewhat was there.
I saw no white, no movement, nowhitetails, nothing but the woods.Again, I focused my attention on theedge of the swamp directly in front ofmy watch.
It was only a few minutes when themovement of something in the dis-
tance again capturedmy attention. Istrained my eyes tosee what it was, as Islowly raised my ri-fle.
Viewing throughthe 5X scope, I discov-ered what appearedto be a rabble of but-terflies gathered on alarge rock, locatedjust at the edge of theswamp.
In my mind, Ilaughed at nature’s
trick, where the flight of white can bemistaken for the flick of a tail.
By the time the sun was up, thenearby woods came alive with them.They were little, white and grey orbrown in color. And, they weren’t but-terflies — they were moths.
I was surprised to see them in theair, since it was such a cold morningand so late in the season. I also won-dered how many other hunters hadbeen fooled by the moth’s endless for-est flickers. They certainly caught myeye!
Butterflies vs MothsMy first call went out to Sue Grimm
of Saranac Lake, the “Butterfly Lady”at the former Paul Smiths Visitors
Center. I explained what I had seenand shared a photo of the specimen. Ialso told Sue the appearance of moths,flickering white in the deep, darkwoods, might soon become the bane ofdeer hunters
She informed me moths belonged tothe same family as butterflies — “Lepidoptera” — and continued, “Typical-ly, moths are signaled to come outwhen both days and nights are warm.Perhaps they were tricked — it seemsdisastrous for them to come out now.”
Although, moths outnumber but-terflies by a 10:1 ratio, they are theblack sheep of the family. Little isknown about moths and they are nothighly regarded.
Butterflies are beautiful and gatherin groups known as rabbles. Theycome out to frolic on sunny days andprovide a whimsical and colorful ad-dition to the scene. Kids make rhymesabout butterflies
Moths, on the other hand, are moth-eaten, and gather mostly at nightaround a back porch light. Moths arefurry and dull, the overlooked cousinsof the more popular butterfly. Spin-ning silk seems to be their only re-deeming quality.
“But, why,” I asked her, “Are mothsflying around at this time of year?”
“Moths hibernate under the leaves,and because they are furry, they are
able to survive colder temperaturesbetter than butterflies,” Sue ex-plained. “The warmer air likelybrought them out, or,” she joked,“they must get paid by the deer.”
More about mothsMoths are more abundant than but-
terflies due primarily to their abilityto exist in a wider range of conditions,and occupy more diverse habitats.And, unlike most butterflies, mothsoverwinter by finding shelter inleaves, debris or in a convenient clos-et.
As a result, moths are present year-round, and when air temperatures ap-proach around 40 degrees, they cantake to the air. Obviously, even thewarmth of the morning sun on the for-est floor is enough to make them stir.
Another big advantage in moth sur-vival is the early start their caterpil-lars get on the leaves and grasses asthey emerge in the spring, when thereare fewer birds around to eat them.
Additionally, many moths have de-veloped the same defensive col-orations as butterflies, with “eyespots” on their wings to make themlook bigger to ward off predators. Sev-eral moth caterpillars have actuallyadapted coloration that resemblesbird droppings, which serve to protectthem from other winged predators
seeking food.Moths are highly adaptable sur-
vivors. Some species have even devel-oped techniques that, in effect, help tojam the echolocation signals bats useto locate prey with radar-like preci-sion.
Unfortunately, moths have not de-veloped a natural technology to dealwith more modern technology. Bugzappers, those big blue lights used tocontrol mosquitoes and other flyingpests, kill a lot of moths. According toexperts, “Ninety-five percent of whatthey attract are moths.”

When done properly, strengthtraining can increase musclestrength and endurance, help
protect muscles and joints from injury, im-prove sports performance, strengthen bones,promote healthy blood pressure and choles-terol levels, boost metabolism, help to main-tain a healthy weight, and improve self-es-teem and body image.
When starting a strength training programit is very important teens receive proper su-pervision and learn proper form and tech-nique. Teens, should begin with a total bodytraining protocol of higher repetitions (ex: 1set of 10-15 reps) and light to moderateweight, at least twice per week on noncon-secutive days, and progress over time to us-ing heavier weights.
Guidelines for teenstrength training
• Perform one to three setsof each strength exercise.
• Use enough resistanceto complete 10 to 15 properlyperformed repetitions.
• Increase the weight loadby 1 to 5 pounds upon com-pleting 15 good repetitions.
• Use moderate movementspeed that emphasizes con-trolled muscle effort ratherthan momentum (four to sixseconds per repetition).
• Use full range repetitions rather thanabbreviated joint actions.
• Train two or three nonconsecutive daysper week.
• Train with competent in-structors.
• Train safely.• Train progressively.• Train consistently.When it comes to strength
training, your options are notonly limited to weights or ma-chines. It is actually better forteens to use free weights,bands, and bodyweight exer-cises since most gym equip-ment is built for adults andmay not fit them properly.
Not only does strengthtraining offer many bonuses to today’syouth, it can put your child on a lifetime pathto better health and fitness. I will be holdingclasses for young women on strength train-ing starting in January. Class size is limited
and will be kept small so I can effectivelymonitor proper form and technique. Feel freeto contact me for more information or to signup.

PLATTSBURGH — The American HeartAssociation has recognized the efforts oftop participants in the 2010 PlattsburghStart! Heart Walk.
On Nov. 17, about 50 members of HeartWalk teams attended a ceremony at Geof-frey’s Pub where they were recognized forhelping raise $139,000 with the HeartWalk that took place Sept. 25 at the PARCOval. Money raised will go to cardiovas-cular disease and stroke research and ed-ucational programs that will raise aware-ness of preventative treatment of the dis-eases.
“We are truly delighted to have the op-portunity to thank and recognize all of ourHeart Walk companies and top walkerswho have contributed so much to makethis year ’s Heart Walk a tremendous suc-cess,” said Keri Mack, corporate events di-rector of the American Heart Association.

WandaFlynn, community teams organizer for thewalk, was awarded for being number twowalker after she and her team raised$3,475. Flynn and her team — which in-cluded her husband, Tom, and Mike andCheryl Dodds — organized a golf tourna-ment to raise money for the walk.
Rick Martindale from Martindale andKeysor was the number three top walkerfor raising $2,740 through on-linefundraising.
One special walker was 9-year-old Mc-cAlie Narducci, who was given a specialvolunteer medal for not only being theyoungest fundraiser and volunteer for theHeart Walk, but for her hard work in rais-ing $600.
Narducci first got involved in the walkwith her grandmother, Doreen St. Ger-maine, who has participated in the HeartWalk for the past five years. Narducci andSt. Germaine wanted to walk in honor ofNarducci’s grandfather who suffered aheart attack in June.
“I’m going to do it again next year and
I’m going to raise more money and gohigher next time,” Narducci said.

Chazy Central Rural School superintendent and high school principal JonFairchild is now settling into his first year at the school.

Jon Fairchild settling in at Chazy CentralBByy SSaarraahh LL.. [email protected]
CHAZY — With one quarter of theschool year under his belt, JonFairchild is settling into his new roleas superintendent and high schoolprincipal at Chazy Central RuralSchool.
Fairchild lived in Chazy whilegrowing up and attended the schoolfrom kindergarten through gradua-tion in 1977.
“You’ve heard the expression, ‘Dy-ing and going to Heaven,’ Sort of fitsthat,” said Fairchild of returning tohis alma mater. “It’s just a very spe-cial community and one of the realnice things is the staff and the peoplethat were here when I was a student,they’ve all retired, so there isn’t thatrole reversal, which can be a chal-lenge.”
Fairchild added he hasn’t seenmuch change in the school since he at-tended.
“The rules are almost the same,” hesaid. “Even the time to get from classto class hasn’t changed. So, when astudent tells me they can’t make itfrom Point A to Point B in three min-utes, I know he’s not telling thetruth.”
Fairchild took the position at CCRSfollowing a one-year principalship at
Salmon River School and eight-yearprincipalship at Plattsburgh HighSchool, where the class roster wasmuch larger, a difference he finds hasits pros and cons.
“I’m a firm believer in small Kthrough 12 schools. Students don’tget lost in the shuffle. Fortunately wedon’t have a lot of turnover in stu-dents, which is really good to knowthe students and their families,” heexplained. “Downside is we can’t of-fer the same things we can at PHS.Both situations have staff membersthat are extremely talented and do agreat job with kids and are fun towork with.”
Balancing the roles of both princi-pal and superintendent has also beena transition for Fairchild.
“It gets a little hectic sometimes.Really struggle when I have to reeval-uate myself. Haven’t figured that oneout yet,” joked Fairchild.
“For me the biggest challenge islearning the superintendent’s role,”he admitted. “It’s different from whatI’ve done in the past. My experienceat St. John’s gave me a taste for someof that. The budget and the finances.It’s a full day.”
Other transitions Fairchild is mak-ing is determining what the schoolcan do a better job at.
“Fortunate thing is we do a prettygood job across the board,” he said.
“We do have a couple of things we’restarting to look at, but the big thingright now is going to be, as everyschool in the state is doing with thenew regulations for evaluating teach-ers.”
Fairchild said that goal will proba-bly be one of the main challenges he’llface during the school year, althoughhe’s also looking at taking on anoth-er challenge.
“I’d like to see ways that we can im-prove our graduation rate,” he said.“Again, it’s a state-wide initiative,and unfortunately with a small groupof kids, it doesn’t take too many kidsto not make it to drag the rate down.”
“I’d also like to see ways that wecan fine-tune and challenge the up-per-end kids more than they are,”Fairchild added. “It’s always hard tofind ways and have enough kids thatneed a particular program.”
Overall, Fairchild is happy with theway the school year has developed sofar.
“It’s been a really nice start to theschool year,” he said. “The staff, thecommunity, the board of education,everyone is really headed in the samedirection. It’s a nice group to workwith. Like any other school, we haveissues we have to deal with, but mostof ours are not critical issues, they’rejust things to just keep doing what wedo, better.”

‘Soulful Christmas’ thisSunday at the GiltzBy Anayely [email protected]
PLATTSBURGH — Five years later, onechoir is still bringing “A Soulful Christmas”to people of the North Country.
The State University of New York atPlattsburgh’s Gospel Choir will performthis Sunday, Dec. 5, starting at 4 p.m. inHawkins Hall’s Giltz Auditorium. The showis expected to last two hours.
“We always encourage everyone to gethere early, so we can start at 4 p.m. and atthe latest folks are leaving around 6 p.m.,”said the gospel choir ’s director and SUNYPlattsburgh professor, Dr. Dexter Criss.
The gospel choir was founded 20 yearsago and it is comprised of mostly students,outside community members, faculty andstaff, explained Criss. The musicians, how-ever, are mainly from Vermont.
“We decided that it would be fun to do aChristmas concert, and do Christmas carolsand Christmas gospel songs, and that’s howwe came up with the name ‘A Soulful Christ-mas,’” said Criss.
The show will have performances by thechoir ’s step team and praise dance team,
which is a “smaller group within the choir,”according to the gospel choir ’s Web site.
Other performances featured will be TheAccidentals from Beekmantown HighSchool, and Peru High School violinist Emi-ly Allen. A new aspect being added to thisyear ’s show is a sing-a-long with the audi-
ence, which has never been done before. An-other new part to this year ’s show is a solopiece done by a new student director hail-ing from Trinidad.
“He has performed in front of PresidentBarack Obama and the Queen of England,”added Criss.
Although much advertisement is done inplaces like Albany, Montreal, Vermont andsurrounding cities, most of the attendees arelocals.
“Sixty to seventy percent of the audienceis from the Plattsburgh community,” saidCriss. “It’s definitely more of a communityevent, probably than most campus perform-ances.”
The show is expected to completely fillGiltz Auditorium, like it has done in yearspast.
“There have been times when we havesold out [tickets] and it has been standingroom only,” added Criss.
Tickets may be purchased in advance inPlattsburgh at Great Adirondack Soup Com-pany, North Country Cultural Center for theArts, Wooden Ski and Wheel and SUNYPlattsburgh’s Angell College Center infor-mation desk. Tickets are also available atAdvanced Music in Burlington, Vt.
Tickets will also be available at the door.“You’ll hear some of the best voices you’ll
hear anywhere in the North Country com-ing together doing something they love todo and have so much fun doing it,” saidCriss.

CHAMPLAIN — David Patrick of Colch-ester, Vt., has been creating calendars since2003, focusing on subjects relating to the his-tory of the town of Champlain.
Patrick, whose descendants hail fromChamplain, recently unveiled his newest cal-endar, “A History of the Settlements and Ear-ly Settlers in Champlain Town: Champlain,Coopersville, Perry's Mills and RousesPoint,” detailing the history of familiar loca-tions in the Northern Tier.
The calendar is the product of three monthsof writing, research and layout, utilizing pho-tos from Patrick’s own collection and Fein-berg Library’s Special Collections Depart-ment at the State University of New York atPlattsburgh.
When developing a calendar, Patrick saidhe tries to choose “an eye-catching cover pho-to that people will recognize.” The photo usedon the 2011 cover is of the original St. Mary’swooden church in the village of Champlain,dating back to 1880 — five years before thestone church which stands there today wasbuilt.
“There is only one likeness known to existand every copy I have seen has been of verypoor quality and not printable,” said Patrick.“I was able to find a better image to workwith. The cover photo is definitely a collec-tor ’s copy.”
Featuring St. Mary’s also coincides with thechurch’s 150th anniversary, which wasPatrick’s reason for also writing a detailedhistory of St. Mary’s in the calendar. The cal-endar also features photos from all four set-tlements in the town in the late 1700s up to ap-proximately 1840. Locations like the Ebenez-er Cooper house and Route 9 bridge in Coop-ersville, Fort Montgomery in Rouses Point,
and the old school on Church Street in the vil-lage of Champlain are among those featuredin the calendar, painting a historical look atthe Northern Tier.
“I want people to know about this mostlyforgotten history,” said Patrick. “The clues arein front of everyone but without the primarysources, it is difficult to interpret them.”
When it comes to future calendars, Patricksaid he is “always thinking about potentialsubjects for the next year ’s calendar.”
“I will start to seriously think about it inwinter and may do some preliminary workthen,” said Patrick. “I also have a good ideawhat photos I will use. If I cannot fit a photoin for this year, I put it in the folder for nextyear which makes it easier to choose photos.”
What keeps Patrick producing calendarsyear after year is his own love of history, andthe following his calendars has received.
“I went to a Champlain school reunion thissummer and found that many people alreadyhad the complete series,” said Patrick. “Itstarted with only one relative getting my cal-endar and now, so many more have boughtit.”
Calendars are available in Champlain atKinney Drugs, Champlain Memorial Library,Chauvin Agency, the Samuel de ChamplainHistory Center and at the town and village ofChamplain offices. Calendars are also avail-able at Cornerstone Drug and Gift in RousesPoint, Conroy Organics in Beekmantown,and, in Plattsburgh, Cornerstone Bookshop,the Clinton County Historical Associationand the Kent-Delord House.
Calendars cost $15 each, with proceeds ben-efiting the Glenwood Cemetery Association,Champlain.

When looking for the perfect gift this holiday season, the best place to start is with your hometown , locally-owned businesses. These businesses are an important part of the local economy, providing goods and service s that are not only as good as those found in big-box retailers, but many times, also offered for the same prices o r better. Forget the common misconception shopping at big discount stores is better for your wallet — it’s not always the case. And, just remember, every dollar you spend in your community benefits local shopkeepers, many of whom are your neighbors and friends.
Whether it’s buying a new bicycle for your son or daughter, a diamond necklace for your wife or buyi ng dad that set of golf clubs he’s been wanting since last summer, there are businesses in your community that c an provide you virtually everything you need this gift-giving season. And, in many cases, if they don’t have it in stock, chances are they can order just what you need in time to place it under the tree!
Do yourself a favor — and your community — shop locally this time of year and throughout the rest of the year!

Spreading the wordsMembers of the Plattsburgh Noon Kiwanis Club recently visited school districts throughout the North Country, in-cluding Saranac Elementary School, as seen here, presenting dictionaries to third-graders.The donations were partof the National Dictionary Project program.
PLATTSBURGH — The weather may begetting colder outside, but inside, things arejust warming up.
The weekly indoor farmers market at theCity Recreation Center on the PARC Ovalhas been doing well since it first openedNov. 18, said organizer Beth Spaugh, far ex-ceeding her expectations, she said.
“October farmers markets around herehave tended to be pretty quiet, even on Sat-urdays, so we didn’t know if folks wouldcome to an indoor market on a weekday af-ternoon,” said Spaugh, who also hosts abooth with her business, Rehoboth Home-stead in Peru. “The first week, customersstarted coming in a soon as we put signs out,and we were swamped with customers assoon as we opened. People were so enthusi-astic and encouraging.”
Last week, the market was held on aWednesday due to Thanksgiving, resultingin a smaller crowd. However, out-of-town-ers visiting friends and family for the holi-day turned out, helping with sales, saidSpaugh. This week, Spaugh expected thenumbers to pick up once again as buzz of themarket increases.
“I thought most people would want toavoid shopping on fall afternoons andevenings and would prefer to pre-orderand just quickly pick their orders up, but wehave many more walk-in customers so far,”she said.
The best part of the market, said Spaugh,has been how producers support and en-courage each other and how enthusiastic
customers have been. The fact the marketfeatures cheese producers, maple produc-ers, apple growers and winemakers adds tojust what one can walk away with from aday at the market, said Spaugh.
“We actually have a really good range ofproducts,” she said.
The support of the vendors has been apleasant surprise to Spaugh, who recog-nizes markets in the winter don’t always flywith growers and producers.
“Though year-round farmers markets aredoing very well elsewhere, most farmers
markets close in mid-October here becausethe customer base drops enough that ven-dors can’t justify the time at market,” ex-plained Spaugh. “Our producers were tak-ing a risk in joining the market, and I reallyappreciate that.”
One vendor, Richard Lamoy of Hid-in-Pines Vineyard in Morrisonville, agreed.
“The market seems to be off to a prettygood start, especially considering the timeof year,” said Lamoy. “It is heartening to seeso many people of the North Country inter-ested in getting fresh products from small
growers and crafters ... The market has pro-vided me with a bit of foot traffic as well ason-line exposure.”
Spaugh said she would like to see morevendors participate, particularly those of-fering more grass-fed beef and artisanbreads.
“We expect to have grass-fed beef at theDec. 23 market, but would love to find a pro-ducer who will have it available beforethen,” she said.
The main thing Spaugh said she wouldlike to focus on to enhance the market expe-rience for customers is getting people famil-iar with on-line ordering in advance — oneof the main reasons the market was formedin the first place.
“It would be so convenient for folks inoutlying areas or who don’t find it conven-ient to come to market, to put in their indi-vidual orders and have one person pickthem all up,” said Spaugh, who added shecan envision a community having a satellitepickup up point for customers in their areaif customers consult each other when order-ing in advance.
“Pre-ordering may increase as customersget familiar and comfortable with the pro-ducers and products, but I think lots of folksenjoy the social community of the farmersmarket,” she said.
The indoor farmers market will continueThursdays from 3 to 6 p.m. through Dec. 23.On-line orders may be placed atwww.plattsburgh.locallygrown.net.
Those interested in becoming a vendor atthe market or in receiving more informationmay contact Spaugh at 643-7822.

CCE offering growingworkshops Dec. 7
WILLSBORO POINT — Cornell Cooperative Extension will offer a chanceTuesday, Dec. 7, for growers to see first hand how high tunnels can be used toproduce fall and winter crops of salad greens and spinach.
The main program will be held at Cornell’s EV Baker Research Farm begin-ning at 10:30 a.m. with a tour of the fall greens research project underway intheir fixed and moveable tunnels. The project compares leafy crops grown in-side and outside the tunnels at different timings as well as crops grown with-out cover with those where cover was added later.
Further discussion and a presentation over lunch will be at the Willsboro Vis-itor ’s Center. The group will then travel north to Rehoboth Homestead in Peruto see their fixed tunnel crops. Those interested in seeing a 96-foot long rollingtunnel can begin the day at 9 a.m. in Wadhams, just north of Westport. Detailsand directions for all stops will be given to all who register in advance.
Judson Reid, regional vegetable specialist from western New York will be theguest speaker along with Michael Davis, manager of the Baker Research Farm,and local growers. The cost of the program is $10 per person, which includeslunch and materials.
For more information or to register, contact Amy Ivy at 561-7450, ext. 104, ore-mail [email protected].
The project is funded in part by a grant from the Northern New York Agri-cultural Development Program.

ChoirContinued from page 1starting with the KeesevilleMen’s Glee Club. The group wasinvited to sing with the Kee-seville Methodist Church’s choirin 1964, blending the all-malegroup’s voices with those of themen and women of the choir.
“That formed the Keeseville-Peru Ecumenical Choir at thatpoint in time,” said Woodruff,who has been a member of thechoir for the past 19 years.
The following Christmas sea-son, the choir performed its firstconcert under its new moniker,beginning its path to becoming along-standing holiday tradition
in the community. Though thechoir continues to perform its“standards” each year like OCome All Ye Faithful, O HolyNight, Hark! The Herald AngelsSing, and the Hallelujah Chorus,Woodruff said the group pridesitself on introducing new selec-tions into its repertoire.
“We have a variety of sacredand secular music that we sing,”explained Woodruff. “It’s not justthe same music year after year.”
The combination of a fresharrangement from year to yearand the fact many members of thechoir have been with the groupfor several years has led to thelongevity of the Keeseville-PeruEcumenical Choir, said Woodruff.
“Many people say that theirChristmas is not complete unlessthey attend our concert,” saidWoodruff. “And, we have manymembers in our choir say theirChristmas is not complete unlessthey sing in our choir. People justenjoy it.”
The Keeseville-Peru Ecumeni-cal Choir will perform their holi-day concert Saturday, Dec. 11, atSt. Augustine’s Church in Perubeginning at 7:30 p.m. and Sun-day, Dec. 12, at St. John the Bap-tist Church in Keeseville, also at7:30 p.m.
Admission to the concerts isfree, though donations will bewelcome to defray the choir ’s ex-penses.
The Keeseville-Peru Ecumenical Choir, seen in a past performance, will host its 45th annual holiday performance at St. Augus-tine’s Church in Peru and St. John the Baptist Church in Keeseville next weekend.

Some newspapers will tell you anything to get your advertising dollars. You want to be sure you are getting the circulation you are paying for.
That’s why Denton Publications has been audited by Circulation Verification Council, a national, independent newspaper auditing firm. Don’t just believe what you are told by newspaper advertising reps — ask for proof.
