aims to ‘Blast

Boredom’By Katherine [email protected]

PLATTSBURGHÑ It is amazing how quickly a personÕ s life can change.

Malorie DroletteÕ s parents recently brought the 16-year-old girl to the doctor because she seemed to be suffering from a sinus infection.

As the doctor examined the lymph node glands on MalorieÕ s neck, she noticed a lump.

That lump resulted in a visit to Fletcher Allen Medical Center in Burlington, where Malorie was tested and later diagnosed with HodgkinÕ s lymphoma, a form of cancer that originates in white blood cells.

Now, about fi ve weeks after the March 11 di-agnosis, she and her family are frequently mak-ing the trip to Burlington for MalorieÕ s treat-ment schedule.

And Seton Catholic High School in Platts-burgh is trying to help Malorie and her fam-ily get through it by hosting the Knights of the Night Talent Show on Saturday, April 20.

The show is sponsored by SetonÕ s student council and music department, and all proceeds

from the event will help MalorieÕ s family pay for the treatment and transportation costs asso-ciated with her visits to Fletcher Allen.

Ò ItÕ s going to have students from group per-formance classes doing music, comedy and modern songs,Ó said Lita Kelly Paczak, music teacher at Seton Catholic. Ò WeÕ re also hoping to have a group of teachers perform, which is always hilarious. ItÕ ll be entertainment from all walks of musical life.Ó

The event is a perfect fi t for Malorie, who is a junior at the school.

Ò She loves to listen to music,Ó said MalorieÕ s mother, Danielle Drolette. Ò ItÕ s been her thera-py for years. It calms her.Ó

But now Malorie needs a different kind of therapyÑ chemotherapyÑ to help her beat HodgkinÕ s lymphoma.

That means she must travel to Fletcher Allen three days a week in cycles that are two weeks long.

After taking a week off, Malorie is now in her second cycle.

MOOERS Ñ On April 10, DragoonÕ s Farm Equipment, Inc. celebrated its 60th anniversary.

They had door prizes, demos, discounts and served pancakes and sausage to thank the community for its support.

Gary Dragoon, part-owner of DragoonÕ s Farm Equipment, Inc. said a big Ò thank-youÓ was in order to everyone who made the anniversary day a success.

The business began with GaryÕ s grandfather, Floyd Dragoon, who opened the store in 1953.

Floyd tried farming and plumbing, and handed the store over to GaryÕ s father when he de-cided he wanted to stick with plumbing.

Ownership might have changed hands, but the store, which now employees 20 people, has always been in the Dragoon family.

ItÕ s not just about selling products, though.

Dragoon’s has certified tech-nicians in both farm and lawn and garden equipment, which means they can service every-thing they sell there.

Ò It really separates us from the big box stores, for sure,Ó Gary said. Ò I think we have one of the best service departments around.Ó

DragoonÕ s carries both new and used products, and has a full line of equipment for farms, lawn and garden.

Their products include util-ity vehicles, chain saws, log splitters, mowers, overseeders, tillers and gas grills.

Kindergarten registration at NCCSD

MOOERS Ñ Northeastern Clinton Central School District will be holding kindergarten registration at Mooers Elemen-tary on May 8, 9 and 10, and at Rouses Point Elementary School on May 6 and 7.

LEWIS Ñ It took Matthew Cech little time as a member of the Essex County Sheriff Õ s Depart-ment to break his first big case.

Cech, 8 years old and from Plattsburgh, known to many in the North Country as Mighty Matthew, was sworn in by Sheriff Richard Cut-ting April 13 with a specific case in mind: help the department find the Lollipop Bandits.

On the line was the safety of suckers every-where and a reward of 400-plus lollipops for the person who brought the two bandits Ñ known as Bob Rice and Lloyd LaMotte Ñ to justice.

Ò They said that these guys had stole lolli-pops, and I love lollipops,Ó Cech said, adding that he has been interested in being a member of a police force because Ò they have Tasers.Ó

Shortly after being sworn in, Mighty Mat-thew and Sheriff Cutting hit the road on patrol watching for a truck that fit the description of the one being driven by the bandits.

Indeed, Cech was able to spot the vehicle, and a chase ensued along a dirt road in Lewis before the bandits were pulled over and arrest-ed by the newest deputy.

Once in custody, Cech searched the vehicle, finding the evidence he needed, even taking the chance to sample the goods to make sure that it was indeed the lollipops in question.

Following processing and booking, Cech re-ceived his reward of lollipops, along with to-kens of the sheriff Õ s appreciation, including the Ò pepper sprayÓ he used to control the suspects.

As for what he would do with the spray, he gently said, Ò I am looking at you, Steven,Ó referring to his 14-year-old brother, who was made a member of MatthewÕ s posse along with 16-year-old brother Bradley.

For Mighty Matthew, it was another positive day that came between days of visits to the hos-pital and therapy as Cech fights against Mito-chondrial Disease.

Ò One of the deputiesÕ wives (Devann Mur-phy) had seen Matthew and his story and sent us a message that they would like to put some-thing together for him,Ó father Terry Cech said. Ò We communicated back and forth and got ev-erything set up.Ó

Terry said that moments like these help both Matthew and the family through the tough times.

Ò We are dealing with a chronic illness, and the outcome is not favorable,Ó he said. Ò The outpouring of community spirit and support has been fantastic. He is a lovable kid with such an upbeat attitude and he fights with might, which has been his motto. He had an absolute blast today, and it helps us all keep our minds off the daily doctors and trials.Ó

Ò It takes a lot of the stress off a typical day for him,Ó mom Lisa Cech said. Ò This is something fun where he can just go out and be a kid.Ó

Ò It was awesome to see this happen,Ó Mur-phy said.

Ò It went great,Ó Cutting said. Ò It was prob-ably the highlight of my 35 years in service.Ó

Along with giving Matthew a chance to be a kid, events like this also allow the family to con-tinue to shed light on Mitochondrial Disease, an inherited genetic condition that affects the parts of the body that need the most energy, such as the heart, brain, muscles and lungs.

“When he first became sick in 2006, we had never heard of this,Ó Terry Cech said. Ò It is something that we can do not only to help us but organizations that are working for a cure by putting a face locally to what they are trying to do.Ó

Ò This is a disease that takes the lives of more children then all of the childhood cancers com-bined,Ó Lisa Cech said. Ò We had the Mighty Matthew events, which is the superhero that he likes to be, and it has helped raise awareness and funds to help find a cure.”

GLENS FALLS Ñ In a rare visit to the region, state Budget Director Robert Megna told a gathering of civic leaders and citizens about how the newly-approved 2013-14 state budget ac-complishes a wide array of goals.

The new budget creates jobs, cuts taxes for middle-class fami-lies, boosts the minimum wage, reduces costs for businesses and increases education funding to its highest level ever Ñ yet hikes overall spending less than 2 percent, Megna said.

“Jobs are coming back, confidence is being restored, and as the Governor says, it is now a Ô new New York,Õ Ó Megna said.

An audience of about 80 people from all over Warren County attended MegnaÕ s presentation, and nearly a dozen asked him questions about the spending plan.

Megna noted that the last two budgets, crafted in compromise between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state legislature, repre-sented a dramatic rebound from a $10 billion deficit and had put the state back on a track of financial responsibility.

“We’ve put our fiscal house in order — and we’ve right-sized government while showing the nation that New York is open for business,Ó he said.

Taxes reduced, govt. spending cutMegna said that the dozens of state agencies were held to a

zero percent budget increase, state employee salaries were kept stable and employee benefits were re-structured to save taxpay-ers a substantial sum.

Ò We now have the lowest middle-class tax rates in 60 years,Ó he said, adding that families earning from $40,000 to $300,000 annually will be receiving a $350 rebate check this year.

Ò In 2012, 4.4 million new Yorkers received a tax cut, and there will be more this year,Ó he continued.

New budget to spur prosperityThe new budget reflects $800 million in business tax cuts, he

added. Small businesses, Megna said, will receive income tax ex-emptions totaling $141 million, and manufacturers will experi-ence a 25 percent reduction Ñ a total of $120 million Ñ in tax

cuts, in an effort to prompt corporations to retain and create high-wage jobs.

The Cuomo administrationÕ s programs to boost employment have resulted in 300,000 new jobs since Jan. 2011, he said, adding he was floored by the data indicating that one-fifth of all new private-sector jobs in the U.S. during that time were created in New York State alone.

Hiked minimum wage offset

The stateÕ s pending hike in the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 per hour, he said, wouldnÕ t burden businesses because the increased wages would be substantially offset by a tax credit for hiring teenage students at minimum wage Ñ credits that are predicted to total $163 million statewide. He observed that 48,000 workers in the Capital Region earn less than $9 per hour.

He also said that through reform of unem-ployment insurance and workersÕ compensation, businesses in New York would save $1.2 billion, without decreasing benefits to workers.

Boost for high-tech innovationHe said that the budget provides for a program to prompt

innovation in industry, particularly in high-technology fields through establishing Ò innovation hot spotsÓ in academic centers, launching 10 high-technology incubators and establishing tax in-centives for business ventures that evolve out of the research and development projects.

Ò WeÕ ll be working to keep young entrepreneurs with great ideas here in New York,Ó he said.

Education a budget priorityBoosting education is part of the plan to create new good-

paying jobs, Megna said, noting that the 1013-14 budget calls for increasing state investments in education by $936 million, a hike of 4.7 percent. The Capital Region alone would receive $47 million in additional state aid to education, he added. This aid

includes $25 million for all-day pre-kindergarten, $20 million for extended learning time Ñ longer school days or school years; $11 million for rewarding high-performing teachers, and $4 mil-lion for early college programs in high schools. The state is to pay 100 percent of the cost of these initiatives, he said.

Funding for those with disabilitiesArea resident John Davidson expressed concern about the

pending $90 million cut in funding of programs for New Yorkers with developmental disabilities.

Megna replied that services and programs for these individu-als would not be effected, because the budget cuts Ñ prompted by reductions of $1.1 billion in federal Medicaid reimbursement Ñ would be offset by cuts in service agency administrative ex-penses, prosecutions of fraud and elimination of overpayments.

Ò The last thing we want to do is disrupt services for this popu-lation,Ó he said.

State budget director details new initiatives in visit to area

In a public forum held Thursday, April 4, state Budget Director Bob Megna explains how the 2013-14 state budget balances new investments in job growth, education and innovation with tax cuts to families and businesses as well as reform to unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation — moves expected to provide $1.3 billion in savings to taxpayers.

Much more work remains to be done

A statewide $25 million project to expand high-speed internet access in rural New York through the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program is welcome news.

The project includes $2.1 million to provide high-speed, low-cost broadband service to 457 households in the unserved areas of Schroon and North Hudson. The service will be delivered utilizing fiber to the home technology.

Also included is $557,000 for Essex County broadband service expansion. That money will pro-vide high-speed broadband service to households that do not have access in Jay and Wilmington, passing 1,900 homes. The project will also provide digital video services and potentially a competi-tive telephone service.

Statewide the projects will build approximately 6,000 square miles of new infrastructure and will provide high-speed internet service to 153,000 New York households, 8,000 businesses and 400 community anchor institutions.

While internet use has become the norm, itÕ s still not available in many areas. High-speed ser-vice, normally provided through cable companies, typically stops where cable television service ends. That means hundreds of rural areas remain without high-speed internet access.

High-speed internet expansion is crucial for the North Country, which faces the Ò digital divide.Ó The term was coined by sociologists to describe a split in American society between those with ac-cess to readily available information and those who do not. Most agree, people without access to the internet are at a disadvantage.

Information and communication technologies are vital in todayÕ s world, just as reading was centuries ago. Internet access can impact education, economic equality, social mobility and a host of other issues. TodayÕ s students need the internet. Most employment applications are now found on line. Facebook, Twitter and other internet social media dominate todayÕ s society.

Internet access also benefits entire communities. It can lead to a healthier democracy through in-creased public participation in elections and decision making processes. It can also foster economic development and growth.

Bridging the Ò digital divideÓ is necessary in a democratic society, otherwise the United States runs the risk of becoming a nation of Ò havesÓ and Ò have nots.Ó The Connect NY Broadband Grant Program should be lauded for its efforts.

But thereÕ s work to be done. Even after the announcement in March of 18 Connect NY Broad-band Grant Program projects, many rural areas will remain without high-speed internet. The state awarded $25 million for internet expansion, but $89 million was requested. That left many North Country communities still lagging. LetÕ s hope the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program contin-ues until all of New York has the internet access it needs.

Internet expansion key for region

United States politics is one of the biggest money businesses in the world. In so many ways the

channels to gain political influence can trump even the largest multi-national corporation. As citizens of this great nation, we would like to think those involved in the business of politics could look beyond petty skirmishes, but that, perhaps, would be expect-ing too much from those in control of our govern-ments.

Two examples recently came to light. The first oc-curred last week when the Senate chose to hold up a resolution honoring former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who died on Monday, April 8 at age 87. The resolution was scheduled to pass late Wednesday prior to being sidelined by Sen-ate Democrats.

Could the reason for the snub be that the former Prime Minister was too closely aligned with Republican President Ronald Reagan? The purpose of a resolution like this is merely to show respect for and acknowl-edge a personÕ s contribution. The House of Representatives on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution honoring Thatcher. The tribute cited Thatcher Õ s Ò life-long commit-ment to advancing freedom, liberty, and de-mocracy and for her friendship to the United States.Ó

The second example of political pettiness is taking place in New Rochelle, where the city council has refused to allow a veterans organization from displaying the Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flag from the New Ro-chelle Armory.

It was after an official ceremony at the Ar-mory, in March, that a new American flag was unfurled to replace the previous weathered flag. Under the new flag was the flag known as the Gadsden, which is a common tradi-tion at many military sites. Within a week the New Rochelle City Manager ordered the Gadsden removed because of “unidentified complaints” that the flag is a symbol of the Tea Party. But after learning greater detail of the flag’s origin and lengthy tradition from

the veterans group United Veterans Memori-al and Patriotic Association of New Rochelle, the city manger decided he acted in haste

and rescinded his previous directive.

But the pettiness didnÕ t end there. The New Ro-chelle City Council entered the fray, overruled the city manager, and voted 5-2 to have the flag removed. The council objected to the flag because they said the presi-dent of the veterans group is a member of the Tea Party and wants to display the flag to push a politi-cal agenda. Despite denial from the groupÕ s president city DPW workers were ordered to confiscate the

Gadsden.The Gadsden flag, sometimes referred to

as the Jack, is steeped in U.S. history back to the countryÕ s founding days. It has been used by both the U.S. Marines and Navy since 1775 when Commodore Esek Hopkins used the First Navy Jack as a signal to en-gage the British in the American Revolution. Since the New Rochelle Armory was at one time a New York Naval Militia Armory and training facility for both the Navy and the Marines the flag has sentimental value and roots in that facility.

You have to wonder when you hear or read of events like these if values like respect, honor, tradition or appreciation of service have any basis in the business of big politics today? Surely these folks have more impor-tant issues to address than the fear of being one upped by a kind gesture to the deceased former Prime Minister or overlooking the short lived Tea PartyÕ s perceived association to a symbol long associated with American democracy and independence. I was always taught to speak kindly of the dead and have respect for those whoÕ ve served our country. Childish behavior has no place in American Politics nor in a serious society that seeks to uplift its people and encourage active par-ticipation.

Dear style & substance:

I live with my girlfriend and a female roommate. We are all around 23 years old, have graduated from college, and have jobs. The problem is we are all friends, but I donÕ t

necessarily feel close to my girlfriend in a relationship kind of way. I am not sure how to make a change from our group friend-ship to a couple within this setting and really need some sug-gestions.

It sounds like you are a bit trapped in Ô college behavior Õ , where banter and anything goes is more the norm. Wishing to have a more mature relationship will take some effort on both of your parts. It would be nice to first approach your girlfriend by say-ing, Ò I feel like our relationship has become less special with our current living situation and I am wondering how you are feel-ingÓ . See what her response is and build from there. She could very well be feeling the same way. This may seem a bit uncom-fortable, but your intention is sweet, committed, and truthful, so be certain not to send the message that something is Ò wrong.Ó

The continued growth will come from that simple agreement and the willingness to make some changes. When a coupleÕ s re-lationship is in a group living situation, it becomes less intimate purely by lack of privacy. Time and effort need to be put in by the two of you. Reflect back on how your relationship started and what you like to do together. Plan ahead; seize the time or mo-ments that you do have alone to focus on each other (with no t.v., cell phones or computers to distract you). Intimacy means that certain characteristics of your relationship are solely for the two of you and joking about these or indiscreetly disclosing these de-tails diminishes its value. Tighten up on this.

Once you have set a new course, having a conversation with your roommate may be an awkward, but honest way to keep the good vibe going. It takes a lot of Ò water and sunshineÓ to keep the relationship growing and thriving.

This same set of feelings and the need to reevaluate/rees-tablish a relationship can happen when a couple has their first child or a living situation changes with children coming and go-ing… Relationships evolve and become redefined over time and through experience. They are never static, at least the best ones arenÕ t!

Global warming a real threatIf Earth were an apple, the skin of the apple would be the

thickness of our worldÕ s atmosphere. Indeed, we are most fortunate in our distance from the sun: On one side of us,

we have the planet Venus which has extremely violent weather patterns with temperatures of 9000 F and 99 percent carbon di-oxide; on the other side, we have Mars, a dry planet where tem-peratures of -800 F are common. Indeed, our planetÕ s placement is most critical and fortunate.

Should We Be Worried?Should we be worried about our world warming up? My an-

swer is yes! Most of the north polar ice has melted leaving some 90 percent of the ice in the southern glacial Antarctic region. This is resulting in an increased heat and pressure/wind gradient causing unprecedented weather violence. Glacial melting with its added moisture could theoretically raise the water levels to disastrous levels fl ooding the coastal cities. This would occur especially if AntarcticÕ s west glacial mass were to break off and melt; and, because of all this, it would seem inevitable that the El Nino would also change Ñ a system in itself little understood. And, this has all happened much faster than history would pre-dict. For example, Ice Ages are roughly correlated to our planetÕ s changing orbit, tilt, and gyration; global change in temperatures

of 2 or 30 F can transform the landscape with a noticeable effect, as suggested above. These changing patterns occur over thou-sands of years.

The primary cause for this global warming and changing weather is the excess buildup of carbon dioxide in our atmo-sphere due to emissions from factories, houses, cities, automo-biles, ships, planes, etc.etc. Let’s fi rst take a look at some of the Ò solutionsÓ already in place and the arguments for and against. Solar Power, making use of the heat of the sun, and Wind Power are used to generate heat in the winter and running fans and cooling units in the summer. Solar and wind are fi ne on an in-dividual level; but, on an industrial level we canÕ t get enough consistent energy to be cost effective.

Because coal and other carbon dioxide producing fuels are used to produce electricity we need to consider non-gaseous solutions, such as nuclear power. However, developing nuclear fi ssion reactors and fusion reactors (still theoretical) is still in its infancy. Nuclear fusion (the power of the sun and stars) would be the better of the two but still has many problems. The major argument against nuclear power is what we do with the radioac-tive waste until it deteriorates enough to be safe. There are plenty of underground storage possibilities, though quite expensive. Another interesting observation is the danger in the Northern Rim, which is the total land mass north of the equator with con-siderably more than in the southern hemisphere. In The North, methane in the form of methane clathrates is locked up in the permafrost; if the permafrost keeps melting, it will release a gas twenty times more potent than carbon dioxide. Another observa-tion is that, amazing as it seems, cities are considered green be-

cause they are relatively effi cient. Here we have the convenience of shopping, community contact, cultural events, cost effective transportation such as buses, subways, etcetera, and where we can walk, run, bike, skate, doing our chores Ñ good health ben-efi ts here. Indeed, if we had 70 to 80 percent of the world living in cities, we would free some three percent of land, which is about 1,800,000 square miles that could be used to grow crops, breed and graze cattle, develop fi sh hatcheries, and for forestation and recreation to keep species of wild life from extinction and for the production oxygen essential for life in general. We need sources that are not combustible and not land intensive as solar and wind power. We also need a universal, free thinking, uninhibited pub-lic and system of education without mass denial and unjustifi ed prejudices. I cannot overstress education; indeed, the more the better! We must emphasize research in fi ssion and fusion nuclear energy, and look for other possibilities. We must do the same with genetic engineering, which is what nature has been doing with all life forms for some 13.7 billon years, to improve our food and medical crops, develop better strains of food, fertilizers, and pesticides, herbicides, Ñ all things green. It is up to us as indi-viduals and the world govern-ments Ñ Ò to do or die.Ó

LOWV membership on the grow

To the Burgh:

It is my pleasure to tell you that our local League of Women Voters was recognized recently by the League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS) for signifi cant growth in our mem-bership and our continued commitment to our community and the mission of the League of Women Voters.

In the past year, our membership has grown by well over 20 percent, thanks largely to our membership committee, the candi-datesÕ debate presented in cooperation with Mountain Lake PBS, our recent presentation on Campaign Finance Reform, monthly Forums with speakers including Dr. J. W. Wiley, Alice Recore, Dr. Stephen Leveston, and our presentations in Essex and at the Plattsburgh Public Library of the fi lm, GASLAND.

Ò We are thrilled to see that the Plattsburgh League of Women Voters is thriving and committed to serving its community,Ó said national president Elisabeth MacNamara. Ò The League is a true grassroots organization. Without strong and devoted Leagues like PlattsburghÕ s, helping to make democracy work in commu-nities across the country, we would not have been able to accom-

plish all that we have over the last 93 years, nor would we be able to continue our mission for years to come.Ó

While we appreciate the recognition, we believe that the great-est possible reward is seeing more members of our community actively involved in the issues that are critical to all of us. We know that the more individuals who join the League to become part of our work, the better it is for all of us.

We welcome everyone to visit our website www.plattsburgh.ny/lwvnet.org and watch the local press for news of our next public event on 1 May at Plattsburgh Public Library.

Sally Sears-Mack, PresidentLWV Plattsburgh

Ò SheÕ s responded well to the che-motherapy, and will have a cat scan done in a few weeks, and then they will determine if more chemothera-py needs to be done,Ó Danielle said.

Since most cancer cells divide rap-idly, chemotherapeutic agents target cells that divide rapidly.

This can lead to serious side ef-fects, since cells in the bone marrow, digestive tract and hair follicles also divide rapidly, and are therefore tar-geted, too.

MalorieÕ s parents are both supportive, though. In an effort to show Malorie that theyÕ re all in it together, her father, Christo-

pher, gave her a buzz cut after she began to lose her hair from the chemo treat-

ments.He then turned the clippers on himself and Danielle.Changes like that have taken some getting used toÑ the familyÕ s life is much

different than it was just two months agoÑ but Danielle said there is a silver lin-ing.

Ò Malorie says she now knows what she wants to do after high school next year, and that is to be a nurse,Ó Danielle said. Ò She sees how compassionate they are, especially with the kids.Ó

ThereÕ s a 90 percent success rate for HodgkinÕ s lymphoma, so everyone, includ-ing Malorie, is hopeful.

She is so hopeful, in fact, that sheÕ s even set a short-term goal for herself.Ò She wants to be well enough to attend her junior prom on May 11,Ó Danielle

said. Ò SheÕ s never been to one before, and she says sheÕ s going to make it.Ó

CHAMPLAIN Ñ Steve Merchant is sick of winter.To prove it, heÕ s organized a Ò Say Goodbye to WinterÓ bash

at Bowl Mart Lanes in Champlain on Saturday, April 20.The event, which has more of a say Ò good riddance to win-

terÓ theme, is the second of its kind for the area.Proceeds from the event will go toward improving the Sam-

uel de Champlain Center Stage in Rouses Point.The Peru-based band Just Us will provide music for the cel-

ebration. The band has been around for 28 years, but rhythm guitarist

and lead vocalist Joe Holland and bassist and vocalist Keith Collins are the only founding members still in the group.

Lead guitarist and vocalist Gene Palmer, who has been with the band for fi ve years, and drummer Keith Bushey, who has three years with the band, will complete the quartet on Satur-day.

The bandÕ s mem-bers might have changed through the years, but some things havenÕ tÑJust Us has always played classic rock, country rock and blues covers, and also likes to throw in some modern rock.

ItÕ s all just a part of life for Holland, who has been play-ing guitar since he was 10 years old.

Ò ItÕ s pretty much honed into me,Ó Holland said. Ò I think my dad was the fi rst person to realize it. He bought me an old Sears Silver Tone guitar and I went through the blisters, got to play-ing, and have been doing it ever since.Ó

The desire to play music, and to keep playing music, is some-thing Holland understands and wants everyone to have access to.

Ò Steve called me up and said he wanted to keep the stage go-ing this year,Ó Holland said. Ò Whether our band plays or not, it (Center Stage) is good for the community. I would hate to see something like that fall to the wayside.Ó

And if Merchant is successful, Center Stage will never fall to the wayside.

The 20-foot wide by 30-foot long stage was constructed four years ago using a combination of grants and donations from

local businesses and individuals.To date, about $30,000 has been put into it, but it isn’t fi n-

ished yet. “We still want to fi nish up and put stage lighting in there,

and possibly build a dressing room off the back,Ó Merchant said.

Money raised at the Say Goodbye to Winter bash will go to-ward putting the fi nishing touches on the stage.

The bash will also serve as a precursor to the Rouses Point

Summer Series, which will begin in July and include a variety of weekly performances ranging from magicians to bands.

Merchant sees more than entertainment value in Center Stage, though. He believes it is an asset, and that it has given people a reason to visit Rouses Point.

Ò ThereÕ s so much talent in the North Country, whether it be young or old, and they never get a chance to perform,Ó Mer-chant said. Ò This stage is giving people a chance to get out there and showcase themselves.Ó

ImaginariumFrom page 1

President Timothy Maggio said the group chose the Imaginarium because of the museumÕ s pro-motion of quality learning and education.

Ò By helping fund our blast boredom exhibit campaign, you can provide your children and community with a childrenÕ s museum that will continuously give back to our Plattsburgh area for our quality of life, economy and education,Ó Meschinelli said.

The Imaginarium ChildrenÕ s Museum was founded by community-minded mothers and educators with a strong passion for fostering interactive inquiry and inspiring creativity in children and adults through moments of shared discovery.

Ò ItÕ s not just a great value to the students and the kids, itÕ s a great value to the whole family,Ó said Marty Mannix, a Plattsburgh town council-man. Ò Bottom line we have much to celebrate here.Ó

The Imaginarium ChildrenÕ s Museum pro-vides shared experiences through interpreta-tive and interactive exhibits such as the science room, a climbing wall and a glow room with a light up table. The exhibits are made for chil-dren to touch, climb on, experiment with and learn about while having fun. By exposing adults and children to unfamiliar concepts in a non-threatening, hands-on approach, and en-suring that the museum experience is accessible to those of differing abilities and backgrounds, the childrenÕ s museum creates bridges of un-derstanding. The museum incorporates art, sci-ence, math, music, literacy and other exhibits and programs for children to experience new things in a fun and educating way, Meschinelli said.

Ò Children are valuable resources, espe-cially in communities where such programs have been reduced or completely eliminated from schools and libraries due to budget con-straints,Ó Meschinelli said.

The Imaginarium is a non-for profit organi-zation. Meschinelli said with the help of fund-

raising the organization can hopefully move to a new location within the city of Plattsburgh or expand the building they currently occupy at 4709 State Route 9.

Ò We want to stay in Plattsburgh, this is a fa-cility for people in the city, but we have already outgrown the space we are in,Ó Meschinelli said.

For more information call the Imaginarium at 324-7426 or visit their website at Imaginarium-childrensmuseum.org.

PSU Students help community

In the past Cardinal Public Relations has directed its energy to helping HannahÕ s Hope Fund, a program that supports Giant Axonal Neuropathy research. Giant Axonal Neuropa-thy (GAN) is a recessively inherited condition that results in progressive nerve death. Giant Axonal Neuropathy is believed to be caused by a loss of function disorder, meaning an intracel-lular protein needed for long-term nerve sur-vival either isnÕ t being made, or is being imme-diately degraded before it can perform its job. Through the help of Cardinal Public Relations, HannahÕ s Hope was able to win $450,000 in the Pepsi Refresh Contest.

Ò Because of the this they now have resources to go to human trials for possible treatments of GAN,” Maggio said. “If we do find a cure for GAN, it will have started out with Clinton County.Ó

Ò Cardinal PR has a vision for the Imagina-rium,Ó Maggio said. Ò We see the Imaginarium providing a quality learning environment and we know it can help the economy here and we want to help this non-for-profit.”

For more information about how to apply for help from Cardinal PR, contact future Car-dinal PR President Bridgit Kasperski at [email protected] to submit a PR proposal.

“We like them to have specific focus when they present to us so we can see how we can help,Ó said Kasperski.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ What do a farmer, hotel owner, kayaker, historian and bicyclist have in common?

Ò I know it sounds like a bad joke, but it isnÕ t,Ó said North Coun-try Chamber of Commerce Board Chairwoman Vicki Giroux of La Quinta Inn and Suites. Ò ItÕ s the destination master plan.Ó

Giroux gave an overview of the plan at an Adirondack Coast Destination Master Plan Community Forum held on Thursday, April 11 at Clinton Community College.

She explained that the plan works toward transforming the North Country into the Adirondack Coast, a four-season desti-nation replete with locally grown and produced foods, outdoor recreation and interactive history.

But Giroux wasnÕ t announcing the start of the master planÑthat happened in Dec. 2010Ñ she was reviewing its progress.

And, with the help of Vision 2 Action, a group whose goal is to attract 3,000 new families to Clinton County by 2040 by working with local citizens and government representatives, there was a lot of progress to review.

RecreationA major part of the Destination Master Plan is to utilize the

regionÕ s natural resources to not only improve the quality of life for those who live here, but to also draw tourists to the area.

Last year alone, bass fishing tournaments brought $8.2 million to the area, said Kristy Kennedy, Group and Event Specialist for the Adirondack Coast Visitor Bureau.

But there are other ways to capitalize on the regions resources.Kennedy announced that the City of Plattsburgh was awarded

$3,000 to study the feasibility of a whitewater kayak park down-town.

Ò A kayak park can pull people downtown to the banks of the Saranac River, and possibly to spend some money,Ó Kennedy said.

There is also talk of an I Love New York Whitewater Challenge coming to the region soon.

Kennedy also announced that the American Wind Surfing tour will be hosting the first Plattsburgh Wind Surfing Festival at the Plattsburgh City Beach on September 28 and 29.

The free festival will feature racing, demonstrations and clin-ics.

VŽ lo QuŽ bec will also be bringing more cycling tours into the region, and there is a possibility that the Plattsburgh Internation-al Airport will install a bike assembly rack so people can start riding as soon as they leave their airplane.

And of course, there are numerous races taking place in the region, like the Biggest Loser Race on June 9, and the Rockeater

Adventure Race on Sept. 21.Kennedy also lauded wintertime recreation in the region, like

this year Õ s Cock-A-Doodle Shoe at the New Land Trust in Sa-ranac, an extended snow cross schedule, and Ausable ChasmÕ s addition of cross country skiing and warming huts.

AgritourismBut thereÕ s more to tourism in the North Country than outdoor

recreation.Rachel Dutil, Public Relations and Marketing Coordinator for

Miner Farm in Chazy, spoke at length about agritourism oppor-tunities in the Adirondack Coast.

Ò The goal is to bring agricultural products and experiences to the forefront for visitors,Ó Dutil said.

Cold-hardy grapes like frontenac and Cayuga white have al-lowed wine production to increase throughout the region, and the 33-mile long Adirondack Coast Wine Trail will link seven wineries and several communities in the region.

There is currently legislation on the State Assembly floor to get an official designation for the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail, which will help in promotion and funding.

Plans are also in the works for a Champlain Valley Interna-tional Wine Trail, which would connect more than 30 wineries in Vermont, QuŽ bec and the Adirondack Coast.

Dutil mentioned the possible expansion of the March maple weekend into two weekends in April next year, and that Miner Farm will be hosting an open house Aug. 10.

HistoryThe Adirondack Coast has plenty opportunities for finding

recreation and locally produced food, and it also has an abun-dance of history.

Plattsburgh City Historian John Krueger said history is one of the regionÕ s greatest assets, and cited the Battle of Valcour and the Battle of Plattsburgh.

Ò One of the main objectives of the strategic planning commit-

tee is to use our incredible history to create authentic, immer-sive and enriching experiences for our visitors and residents,Ó Krueger said.

The Adirondack Coast Visitor Õ s Bureau sits on the state-wide Path Through History Committee, which will distribute New York State maps that highlight areas of cultural and historic sig-nificance.

Krueger announced an expansion of the 1812 Interpretive Trail, which presently contains ten sites from Rouses Point to Plattsburgh, and a new War of 1812 bicentennial map.

But Krueger Õ s most ambitious announcement was an Ò auda-ciousÓ vision to transform the City Beach into a world-class mu-seum and discovery center, complete with trails, shops and a replica of the Spitfire, the last surviving member of Benedict Ar-nold’s Valcour fleet, which is now resting at the bottom of Lake Champlain.

The replica would be the anchor exhibit of the museum and be stocked with Lake Champlain fish to educate visitors on the stewardship of Lake Champlain.

OutreachAnd behind all of these ideas is a plan for outreach, branding

and marketing.Michele Powers, Director of the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bu-

reau, said that videos and commercials will be running in Mon-treal and Ottawa this year, and that blogging and other forms of social media will also be utilized.

Fort LauderdaleÕ s connection to the Plattsburgh International Airport will also be utilized to draw visitors from Florida during the fall and winter months.

The North Country Cultural Center for the Arts and its ART-Ways program, a contest that challenges local artists to enter art-work based upon a regional theme, has also helped spread the word on the region.

Plattsburgh State magazine journalism students are also getting involved with the publication of their new magazine Ò Do North.Ó

The free magazine, to be printed twice a year, will be placed on Penair flights and will focus on tourism in Clinton County and the surrounding areas.
