PLATTSBURGH — When looking to the future of the NorthCountry, John E. Jablonski finds great promise.

Jablonski, who serves as president of Clinton CommunityCollege, began taking a hard look at the region’s years aheadfollowing a forum hosted last November by The DevelopmentCorporation, an organization focused on enhancing economicdevelopment. The “Vision 2040” forum, explained Jablonski,consisted of getting various members of the community togeth-er with one specific objective in mind — discussing the futureof Clinton County.

“The idea was to take us out of the here and now, dealingwith what’s occupying our time and energy, and think aboutthe future,” said Jablonski.

The forum unveiled what Jablonski called “startling projec-tions” that showed, if following today’s current demographictrends, the North Country could face a grim future.

“Based on current trends, in the year 2040, it’s believed theNorth Country would not be able to sustain itself,” said Jablon-ski, “simply because there won’t be enough people in the mostproductive years of their career to sustain the economy and thequality of life here.”

The trends, explained Jablonski, are based on lower birthrates being seen today, as well as the number of educated youngpeople leaving the North Country for more metropolitan areas.The latter of the two has come to be referred to as “brain drain,”said Jablonski, and is something he feels can be turned around,given a concerted effort of the community.

“We all really have a choice here,” said Jablonski. “We canaccept what’s dealt to us and just go passively along or we cantry to change the course to something that’s more desirable. Ifwe do, what begins to happen then, is we begin an upward spiral.”

The key to turning the ship around, said Jablonski, rests withthree main focuses — workforce development, economic devel-opment and increasing the quality of life in the region, whichhe refers to as community development. Having more and morehighly-skilled workers — thanks to places like CV-Tec and in-stitutions of higher learning such as Clinton Community Col-lege and the State University of New York at Plattsburgh — issomething Jablonski feels will enhance economic developmentfor the region.

“The segue from workforce development to economic devel-

opment is a very natural one,” said Jablonski, “because if wecontinue to demonstrate that we have a ready workforce, an ed-ucated workforce, a well-trained workforce especially in theseareas of new and emerging technologies, we become, as a re-gion, a more attractive place for companies like Bombardier,NovaBus, Schluter Systems, Georgia Pacific, Akrimax. The listgoes on and on.”

The fact businesses such as those have already set up shopin the North Country is a promising sign, said Jablonski.

“That leads me to believe those companies saw something inthe way of potential here,” he said.

Clinton Community College’s role in creating a brighter fu-ture for the region, he said, is to continue to do what it has donein its more than 40 years of existence — educating students.

“That’s what we do,” said Jablonski. “It’s what [SUNY Chan-cellor Nancy L. Zimpher] has reffered to as ‘The Power ofSUNY’ ... We educate students in degree and certificate pro-grams many of those are highly-relevant to new and emergingtechnologies.”

The best part, said Jablonski, is that Clinton Community Col-lege is already well-known and well-respected for its role as aprovider of higher education.

“We’re not starting from zero,” said Jablonski. “It’s not likewe’re building a community college out of nothing. And, it’snot like we’re establishing a city or a town or a county or a re-gion. We have a lot of things that are already resources, that ifwe use them well, can help us to create this brighter future.”

“We have no illusion that Clinton Community College is go-ing to transform the community all on its own,” he added. “But,we can sure make a large contribution.”

BURLINGTON, Vt. — On May 16, two run-ners from Saranac took part in a race whichasks, “Are you tough enough?”

The Spartan Race, an international adven-ture racing series, according to their Web site,launched this year at the Catamount OutdoorCenter and will extend across the countryand into Canada and the United Kingdom.Next year, the race will be brought into Chi-na, New Zealand and Australia.

The 5-kilometer race is far from a straightcourse. From throwing a spear, to crawlingunder barbed wire, to swimming across a 40-meter pond, the race is meant to test en-durance.

According to the Web site, www.spartan-race.com, the obstacles are inspired by NavySEAL training, Spartan training, and Ameri-can Gladiators.

“Being a steeple chaser and having done alot of snowshoeing, this was the most gruel-ing day of running I’ve ever gone through,”explained long-time runner and SaranacHigh School’s assistant track coach MattMedeiros.

Medeiros first heard of the Spartan racethree weeks beforehand from 16-year-old

David Dormann who runs long-distance onthe school’s track team.

Dormann heard about the races from hisfather who is an Army recruiter.

“The Spartan race was actually set up bythe Marines,” Medeiros explained.

Prior to the start of the race, participantsdid not know what to expect of the course,other than the few obstacles they could see atthe starting line.

“You could see where they would shootyou with the fire hose, then the fire jump,”Medeiros said. “They shot us with the firehose preemptively to jump over the fire.”

With 12 obstacles in one lap of the race,Dormann felt crossing the pond was the mostdifficult for him.

“It wasn’t that bit, it’s just that I had allthese clothes on and they weighed me downa lot,” he explained, adding the race is defi-nitely not for novice runners.

However, Medeiros felt it’s still worth giv-ing a try.

“It breaks up the daily monotonousstraight run,” he said. “It’s fun ... Definitelya good workout.”

Medeiros, who finished in the top 10 of thesemi-finals was able to advance to the finals,where he placed first.

“Being tall, for me, kind of helped,” he

said. “I was able to do a lot of the obstacles alot easier than people.”

At 6-foot 4-inches, Medeiros was able toget over two 9-foot walls easily as well as be-ing able to walk further into the pond beforehaving to swim.

His win landed him a Spartan helmet —one of the many elements making up theunique atmosphere of the race.

“They actually had a costume contest I wasunaware of,” Medeiros said. “There was peo-

ple there who had made Spartan-type hel-mets, Spartan-type robes, spears. Even peo-ple who weren’t competing were ... dressedin festive clothing.”

“The atmosphere was amazing,” he added.The next race will be held in Montreal,

Sunday, July 4. For more information, or tosign up, visit www.spartanrace.com.

“I would say, if you’re able to, try it,” saidMedeiros.

Think you’re gettingenough vitamin D?Research suggests

the recommended daily doseof vitamin D should be muchhigher than you think.

Vitamin D deficiency canlead to the development ofosteoporosis because it re-duces calcium absorption. Inolder people, low vitamin Dlevels have been associatedwith an increased risk offalling. Higher vitamin D lev-els have been associated withstronger bones (greater bone mineral densi-ty).

Preliminary evidence suggests vitamin Dmay aid in cancer prevention by blocking cellgrowth and differentiation (cells mature andtake on a specialized form and function).Since the late 1980s, the risk of developingand dying from breast, prostate, ovarian, andother cancers has been found to be increasedin geographic areas located at higher lati-tudes, where there’s less sun exposure, andwith vitamin D deficiency.

The main source of vitamin D comes fromexposure to the sun’s UVB rays. The Ameri-can Academy of Dermatology advises that weobtain vitamin D from foods and supplementsrather than UV exposure, because of the riskof skin cancer.

New information from the In-ternational Osteoporosis Foun-dation recommends a dailydose of 800-1,000 IU per day ofvitamin D for older adults, withsome people in higher riskgroups (obese, houseboundwith little sunlight, or with ab-sorption problems) gettingmuch more than that.

Older people are at greaterrisk of vitamin D deficiency, asthe ability to produce vitamin Ddwindles with age. In fact, vita-min D levels in elderly subjects

have been found to be approximately 30 per-cent of the levels found in young adults.

It’s estimated more than 50 percent ofadults over age 50 in the United States and Eu-rope are at risk of vitamin D deficiency. A sim-ple blood test will determine if you’re gettingenough vitamin D; check with your doctorand follow his or her recommendation abouthow much vitamin D you need.

Released in 1989, Mi-crosoft Office turns21 this year. Office

started as a collection ofthree applications thatquickly became the darlingof many businesses, schools,and other organizations. Itnow is a complete suite ofproductivity tools availablein a number of versions.

There are two interestingthings occurring for the Of-fice suite this year. First, anupdated version with newbells and whistles will hit the shelves gen-erating the usual interest. Secondly andperhaps much bigger, Microsoft will re-lease a free on-line version of the softwaresuite called Office Web Apps. Yes, I saidfree.

Maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise to see anon-line version of Office. After all, the trendtoward cloud computing is growing every-where. The reasons are many but boil downto two main things — personal computers,relatively speaking, are very powerfulwhich means they can easily handle thechore and Internet access is ubiquitous. Be-yond that, many cell phones have maturedinto powerful handheld computer deviceseasily able to cloud-compute and the ex-perts say with the success of Apple’s iPad

tablet computers may bepoised to take off this year.

Why would Microsoftoffer their flagship prod-uct for free? It could bethey see the promise incloud computing and wantto step up efforts. Mi-crosoft may also be re-sponding to the pressuregenerated by Google as itstrongly pushes GoogleApps Premier Edition,which is a set of Web-basedapplications offering

browser-based e-mail, calendar and aspreadsheet; all direct competitors of Mi-crosoft’s Outlook and Excel.

Web Apps will be available through Win-dows Live. Users can create, save and sharework done with a single Windows Livesign-in. Interested? A Beta version of WebApps is available as I write this.

If you are looking to savesome money on your foodbills, increase the amount

and variety of fruits you andyour family eat, or are just look-ing to add interest to your land-scape, incorporating berries intoyour landscape makes simplesense. Berries are often easier tomaintain that fruit trees, and al-most every loves the fresh tasteof strawberries, raspberries, andblueberries. One of the mostsought after berries to plantseems to be the blueberry.

Unfortunately, blueberries are not for every-one. Blueberries need to grow in very acidic soilbecause they need high levels of iron, which isonly available at lower pH levels. If you arelooking for a berry bush that does well in aver-age soil, consider trying the honeyberry or edi-ble blue honeysuckle. This berry is a pale todark, blue oblong fruit. The flavor is describedas blueberry with black currant and black rasp-berry overtones. It seems the flavor is somewhatdependent on the level of polyphenols (antioxi-dants) and the soil types. They are certainly bet-ter well-ripened. The Russian types can be har-vested all at one picking while the Japanese-areatypes tend to ripen over an extended time andare later by ten to fifteen days.

Honeyberries are very hardy. All they need iswell-drained soil, a little protection from winds,and moderate rainfall. Cold hardiness is not an

issue and the flowers are knownto survive at 19F. They requirevery little, if any, fertilizing.

They do require cross pollina-tion so be sure you get two vari-eties. Some pair up better thanothers, so ask about this whenyou are purchasing plants. Bothplants need pollen from anotherplant to be productive and setfruit. One of your plants may nothave as good fruit since the pol-linator varieties are sometimeschosen because their pollenworks better on the good variety.

But fruit from both plants will be edible. Since they bloom very early, as soon as the

snow begins to recede and temperatures are con-stant at 5-8 degrees above freezing, the bloom-ing pattern is already set. The flowers are in-significant so this is not an ornamental. The de-veloping fruit will need protection from thebirds. For most areas harvest will take placeabout six to eight weeks after the bloom is fin-ished, making this berry one of the earliestripening fruits we can grow in our area. Pestcontrol is not an issue so general weed controlwill be the only real work while the fruit devel-ops and on into the fall after harvest.

County officials impressed by rehab facilityBByy TThhoomm [email protected]

MENDHAM, N.J. — Kathleen, a brighteyed teenage girl stood up from her deskas she finished an English class Thursday.Minutes earlier, she had discussed a com-position assignment with her teacher.

Although resembling a prep-school stu-dent, Kathleen had a different back-ground. Just eight months earlier, she wasshooting heroin daily and snorting coke,and was ”on the run” from police — andwhen picked up on drug charges, she as-saulted a police officer and kicked out hispatrol car window.

Standing in Daytop Mendham adoles-cent substance abuse rehabilitation center,she talked of how her future now looksvery promising, and how she looked for-ward to college and a career in psycholo-gy or social work. Her transformation, shesaid, was due to the Daytop program.

Town of Essex farmer Sandy Lewis, a re-tired Wall Street executive, is proposing toestablish a similar program in Essex Coun-ty. His preferred site is the former EssexCounty Home in Whallonsburg, not farfrom his organic farm operation.

Lewis is seeking community support for

such a facility, a necessary first step beforethe state will allow it to open — so hesponsored a trip for county officials to vis-it the rehab center in Mendham, N.J. May20.

Kathleen was one of dozens of teenswho made a big impression when EssexCounty officials visited the facility, watch-ing classroom activities and participatingin group sessions.

Lewis County Supervisor David Blades,a former state Trooper, said he was sur-prised with the courtesy, attentivenessand thoughtfulness that the teens demon-strated, particularly those who were re-puted to be members of urban gangs.Blades was also a school principal and BO-CES administrator.

“All my preconceived notions about re-habilitation have been blown out of thewater,” he told the teens. “I know you’regoing to be very proud of what you’ve ac-complished in life.”

Essex County Assistant District Attor-ney Brian Felton said he was impressed byhow the former addicts took responsibili-ty for their actions, whether it was the be-havior in their past life, or now freely ad-mitting to other behavior violations likelittering, or snubbing others.

“It looks like the program is really mak-ing a difference in each of their lives,” hesaid. “Each teenager is in a differentphase, and you can detect a marked differ-ence — it’s very telling to the program’ssuccess.”

He said he was surprised, as a prosecu-tor and county Drug Court facilitator, overtheir sensitivity to others’ needs and feel-ings, openly talk about their own issues,and listen intently to both peers andadults.

“Their openness as to their past andtheir desire to change was amazing,” Fel-ton said. “Despite what they’ve beenthrough, they still have hopes and goals.”

Calvin Cumm of Whallonsburg, a neigh-bor of Lewis’ farm, said he also was im-pressed about how people stood up andadmitted wrongdoing.

“It looks like they are really learning in-tegrity, which is really neat,” he said.“Some neighbors near the Old CountyHome have been worried about these kidsbeing out in their community, but I don’tthink anything like that will happen.”

With less than a one-tenth of aninch of rain fallen over the re-gion in the past month, the dan-

gers of a major forest fire are readily appar-ent. Currently, with no rain on the horizon,the Adirondack forests remain a tinderbox.

On the morning of Memorial Day, it ap-peared that fire had finally arrived, as asmoky haze covered the region and obscuredthe distant mountaintops.

Fortunately for the Adirondacks, thesmoke and haze were delivered on windshailing from Quebec, where 52 fires had al-ready burned more than a quarter millionacres.

According to news reports, the majority of the fires wereburning near La Tuque, Quebec, about 150 miles northwestof Montreal.

It isn’t the first time Canadian fires have affected ourweather. In 2002, smoke from fires in the Lac St. Jean regionof Quebec darkened the sky over Ottawa and Montreal andthe smoky haze was evident as far south as Washington, D.C.

The history of forest fires in the Adirondacks is signifi-cant, and stretches back a century to the most devastatingfires that occurred around the turn of the 20th century, whenthe fires of 1903 and 1908 consumed nearly a million acresof forested lands.

The Adirondack’s primary fire seasons have always beenthe spring and fall of the year, when there is an abundanceof dry leaves, tinder and winds to fan a fire.

I can recall several instances of fighting fires as a teenag-er, when the pay was meager but the food was always good.It always seemed that youngsters got the worse part of thejob and were rarely assigned to the front lines.

Typically, we were used for “mop up de-tail,” which required raking over a burnedarea to check for coals or an undergroundfire. We discovered the hot spots by checkingfor heat with a bare hand, which alwaysbrought blisters. We would then dig up theforest duff, spray it with water from an Indi-an Tank strapped on our back and move on.Firefighting has not advanced much since the1970’s, as the same methods are applied to-day.

In 1903, a 72-day drought brought on for-est fires that scorched more than 600,000acres of Adirondack lands, centered nearLake Placid. At the time, fires also burned in

Schroon Lake, Lake George, Olmstedville, Newcomb, Aus-able Forks, Saranac Lake and Clintonville.

The NY Times reported at the time, an estimate of groundburned at more than 1,000,000 acres, or about one-fifth of theentire territory. The fires were so consuming that cinderswere reported falling as far away as Albany, 150 miles to thesouth. Smoke from the fires eventually reached Washing-ton, D.C.

Five years later, in 1908, the Adirondacks experienced themost devastating fires to date as the blazes burned almostcontinuously for nearly four months across the Park.

By September 1908, both New York City and Quebec Cityto the north were blanketed in clouds of smoke from fires inHamilton, Herkimer, St. Lawrence, Franklin, and Essexcounties. The smoke was reportedly so thick, that ships wereforced to use foghorns in NY Harbor.

By the end of the month, fires had consumed lands fromLake Lila east to Sabbatis and all the way to Horseshoe Sta-tion near Tupper Lake. Other fires burned from the vast Bay

Pond Park of William Rockefeller all the way to Saranac Lakevillage, consuming over 150,000 acres of forested land.

The great fires of ’08 resulted in new laws to detect andprevent forest fires, that were enacted in 1909. To protectthe forests, locomotives could only burn oil from April 15through Oct. 31 to prevent the sparks that were responsiblefor so many fires. Loggers were required by law to limbeverything left behind and new systems of fire surveillanceincluded the construction of fire towers and state regulatedfire patrolmen.

The new legislation also provided the governor with thepower to close both public and private forests during timesof high fire danger. Despite such efforts, by 1910, nearlyone-third of the northern forests had been cut over or con-sumed by fire. Today less than 10 percent of the Adirondackforest is considered old growth.

PLATTSBURGH — In today’s world,roads are typically more vehicle-friendlythan they are for cyclists and pedestrians.However, Complete Streets is working tochange that.

The Clinton County Health Departmentwill be offering training Wednesday, June23, on the Complete Streets plan for safercommunities for pedestrians and bicyclists.

According to CCHD public informationofficer Laurie Williams, the health depart-ment began focusing on Complete Streets asa way of building a healthier community.

“We’re doing it by looking at permanentand sustainable change,” said Williams.“Those permanent, sustainable changes arethrough policy changes, system changes,and built environment changes.”

Complete Streets is a part of the built en-vironment change as it can add sidewalks,bike lanes, more crossing opportunities, buslanes, bus shelters, and more.

“It provides additional opportunities forincreased physical activity in our communi-ties, broadening it out so that people andtheir families can use a roadway,” Williamsexplained. “Roadways are to be shared — bybikers, by pedestrians, by cars.”

The training program will provide “plan-ning strategies and basic design and main-

tenance principles used in pedestrian andbicycle-friendly communities,” accordingto a brochure from Complete Streets. “Par-ticipants will also learn how to do a commu-nity assessment for walkability and bike-ability.”

Although the training program, which isfree of charge, is aimed toward local offi-

cials, planning board members and councilmembers, Williams said others can attend aswell.

“We certainly invite those to this trainingwho have a real interest in biking and mak-ing our communities more walkable,” shesaid.

She also realizes it may be a burden for

some officials to do the training during theworkweek.

“We understand that these are volunteers,but this is very important,” Williams said.

“This is an opportunity to be a part of aprocess in Clinton County to get residentshealthier,” she added. “To help our resi-dents to be healthier. The more people thatlearn about it, the more these concepts andthese changes become part of the socialnorm.”

Williams also said by implementing theComplete Streets program, it won’t neces-sarily mean changes for all current streets.

“What it will do is it will set up our streetsin future development to be usable and bik-er-friendly, pedestrian-friendly as well asvehicle-friendly,” she said.

“Some of the current streets can [bechanged],” Williams added. “You have to dowhat’s reasonable and affordable in thecommunity.”

The training program, will be held from8:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at CCHD, 133 Mar-garet St., in the second floor meeting room.Registration is required by next Friday, June11. There will be another Complete Streetstraining program in Rouses Point, Wednes-day, Sept. 22.

For more information about either ses-sion, call 565-4993.

The Clinton County Health Department will be hosting a training for Complete Streets Wednesday, June 23.In rural areas, a wide shoulder allows pedestrians and bicyclists to safely share the road with vehicles.

PLATTSBURGH — It wasmore than a year ago AlekDuprey’s father, Randy Duprey,succumbed to scleroderma, anautoimmune disease. And,though he’s only 2 years old,Alek knows there’s somethingspecial about Sunday, June 13.

“It’s dada’s walk,” he said.The walk which Alek referred

to is the second annual Sclero-derma Walk in Memory ofRandy Duprey. It was a year agothe first walk was held inRandy’s memory to raise moneyfor The Scleroderma Founda-tion. The event, organized byRandy’s wife and Alek’s mother,Kate Duprey, raised nearly$15,000 for scleroderma re-search and raised awareness ofthe crippling disease.

“It’s a special day,” Dupreysaid of the event. “It raises mon-ey for the foundation and it’s aday Alek knows is to keep his fa-ther ’s memory alive.”

The basic formula for thisyear ’s event will remain the

same, said Duprey. In additionto the walk/run, the event willinclude a bake sale, face paint-ing, a 50/50 drawing, and liveentertainment.

“We’re going to have all thesame things as last year, becauseit was so successful, I didn’twant to change much,” saidDuprey. “We just added abounce house for the kids.”

A silent auction will returnthis year, featuring tickets to aNew York Mets game, a boy’s bi-cycle, gift certificates and giftbaskets.

“The items are just rolling in,”said Duprey.

Participants will also receivea T-shirt and bag, with thoseraising $250 or more for thefoundation receiving a fleecestadium blanket.

Duprey said she’d like to seeas many participants or morethis year. Last year ’s event saw313 people walking for thecause.

“This year, we have on-lineregistration, and we’ve alreadygot 39 people signed up,” saidDuprey. “We have a Facebookpage that has 178 confirmed

guests and another 319 maybeshowing up.”

Whatever it takes to bringmore people in and raise moneyfor The Scleroderma Founda-tion, is what Duprey is willingto do, she said. Especially con-sidering she recently learnedscleroderma is now believed tobe genetically linked in 1 in 100cases.

“So, I have reason more thanever to find a cure for this dis-ease,” Duprey said as shelooked at her son. “I really hopewe can do as well for the foun-dation this year, if not, better.We just want to do the very bestwe can for them.”

The June 13 walk will again beheld at the Beekmantown TownHall Park, 571 Spellman Road,beginning with registration at 9a.m., and the walk/run to beginat 10:15 a.m.

For more information aboutthe walk, including how to makedonations toward the event, vis-it Duprey’s Web site atwww.thedupreyfamily.blogspot.com.

MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE,Mont. — The state of Montana, knownas “Big Sky Country,” is home to rollingplains, few trees and the daughter oftwo North Country residents who has ajob of protecting the U.S. in an areaslightly larger than the state of Mary-land.

Air Force Airman 1st Class Jocelyn M.Frenyea — daughter of Michael andstepdaughter of Tina Frenyea, Peru, anddaughter of Kathleen Frenyea, Platts-burgh — is a medical technician at thisintercontinental ballistic missile base,one of only three remaining in the U.S.The 341st Missile Wing is one of thelargest units in the Air Force, with 150Minuteman III missiles spread out over13,800 square miles within 15 missilealert facilities, and more than 4,000 mil-itary and civilians, making it the largestcomplex of its kind in the western hemi-sphere.

Frenyea is assigned to the 341st Med-ical Operations Squadron in the pedi-atrics section, with the responsibility ofscreening patients from seven days old

to 18 years old. “I look for any abnormalities in vital

signs, and find out why the patient isbeing seen,” said Frenyea, a 2008 grad-uate of Peru Central School. “I alsotriage urgent and acute needs for theproviders.”

To support such a large operation re-quires help from just about every cornerof the Air Force career specialties.Everything from admin to chefs, missilecrewman, missile alert officers, securityforces, helicopter pilots and mainte-nance, communications, services, med-ical and dental — it all adds up to oneof the biggest support operations in themilitary.

“My mission here is to help patientsbe seen by the provider when they needsports physicals, well child checks, orillnesses that need to be treated,” saidFrenyea. “If I wasn’t here, then patientswouldn’t get what they needed from theproviders and it would cause an incon-venience to military members and theirdependents.”

For Frenyea and other airmen sta-tioned there, Montana can be consid-ered one of the best places to be sta-tioned or one of the worst. Montana can

be a haven for the outdoorsman andtraveler with major national parks likeGlacier and Yellowstone just a fewhours away. For others, being in an out-of-the way place like Malmstrom, withno major metropolis or urban centersnearby, can make a tour seem isolated.

“I have only lived in Montana for twomonths, so I haven’t really seen much. Ihave been told that there are a lot of out-door activities depending on the weath-er,” said Frenyea. “You can go hunting,fishing, hiking, sightseeing, whitewaterrafting, or horseback riding.

“During my off time, I usually juststudy and go to the gym,” she said. “Ihave been to Billings so far and hope-fully will explore the rest of Montana inthe next couple of years that I will behere.”

Frenyea has been in the Air Force foralmost a year. Malmstrom AFB is herfirst permanent duty station after at-tending technical school at SheppardAir Force Base, Wichita Falls, Tx., andphase one training at Travis Air ForceBase, Fairfield, Calif.

We’re building great markets for Northeast family dairy farms! gri-Mark is owned and controlled by dairy farm

families from New England and New York. Our farmers work together in the marketplace so they can receive the highest possible price for all of the milk their farm produces and the best legislative representation possible on dairy issues.

At Agri-Mark, we have two great brands that create great local markets and generate income for our farmers. Our award-winning Cabot brand of Vermont cheddar cheese, butter, and other dairy products continues to grow each year, adding to our farmers’ milk checks. Our Cabot cheese again won the title of “World’s Best Cheddar” in 2006.

Agri-Mark farmers also own the McCadam brand of New York dairy products, and that investment is generating income

for them as well. In 2007, McCadam won first place at the U.S. Cheese Championships in Wisconsin and the title

“America’s Best Cheese!” Agri- mark had a record year of profits in 2007 and the future looks bright!

For more information on working with other Northeast farm families for better prices, call our Membership Department toll-free at 1- 800-225-0532 or contact us at

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Twentyyears ago, the Vermont Air Nation-al Guard began honoring childrenwho battle various illnesses and in-juries. Two months ago, 8-year-oldJesse Blais was “surprised” to learnhe was being honored.

Since he was 2 years old, Jesse,who lives in Chazy, has been mak-ing bimonthly visits to the VermontChildren’s Hospital.

“He has surgeries every twomonths on his vocal cords,” ex-plained his mother, Jasmine Blais.

Susan Victory, the senior admin-istrative coordinator at VCH, ex-plained staff members at the hospi-

tal will nominate a child betweenthe ages of 2 to 17 who face a med-ical challenge. Those who are nom-inated receive the Young HeroesAward by VTANG.

“The Child Life staff that workswith [Jesse] most of the time whenhe comes in really recognized himas someone who should be nomi-nated for this,” Victory said.

On May 13, Lt. Col. Douglas Finkof the VTANG issued a citation toJesse which states, “For his remark-able display of outstandingcourage and valor while maintain-ing a battle against his illness. Hehas demonstrated that wars are notonly waged by those in uniform.During this difficult period, hedemonstrated great strength,

courage, and a love for life in hero-ic proportions. Jesse’s distinctiveaccomplishments reflected greatcredit upon himself, his family, andhis community.”

Jesse also received medal of hon-or and an officer ’s coin. He also hadthe chance to go with his family tothe VTANG airbase, where he got totry a flying simulator and gun sim-ulator.

“The airbase was a good experi-ence for him,” Jasmine said.

Children at the VCH are nomi-nated for the Young Heroes Awardon a regular basis, with the goal to“pay tribute to the courage and dig-nity of real-life young heroes whosebattle against disease or injurymight otherwise go unrecognized.”

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes Eight-year-old Jesse Blais ofChazy recently received theYoung Heroes Award fromthe Vermont Air NationalGuard for his braveness inbattling an illness whichbrings him to the VermontChildren’s Hospital on a regu-lar basis.

Eventually, all keen gardeners are asked the inevitable question: why spend so much time weeding, pl anting, digging and doing all those other

backbreaking jobs? The answer is simple and hard to deny: gardening is an enjoyable pastime, good fo r our health and for our environment which, you

have to admit, is in great need of our help these days.

Recent studies are conclusive; those who garden have better control of day-to-day stress which affec ts so many people nowadays. A Canadian

researcher, who no doubt loves to play with words, has said that it isn’t just plants which grow in our gardens. There is also self-esteem, optimism,

friendship, creativity, satisfaction, etc. This scientist could have added patience to the list, as well as the humility learnt from plants which take longer to

give good results despite all our loving, tender care. On a physical level, gardening is also a grea t way of keeping in shape, on condition that we don’t

insist on lifting and carrying objects which are too heavy for us.

It should also be mentioned that gardening helps us to communicate. Plant enthusiasts know how impor tant it is to talk to other gardening fans in

order to learn about new horticultural trends or to discover new tricks. You have to admit that gard ening is an excellent pretext for opening doors of

communication and expanding your circle of friends.

As far as the environment is concerned, there are numerous advantages to being a gardening fan. Firs t of all, plants produce oxygen as well as

absorbing carbon dioxide, a subject which preoccupies more and more of our politicians. Clearly, pla nts help to reduce atmospheric pollution by

attracting, primarily to their leaves, dust, ashes, pollen and other particles circulating in the ai r. So it’s not surprising that many hospitals are now giving

more importance to plants.

Another advantage to our environment concerns temperature control. The presence of plants helps to l ower room temperature as well as helping to

increase relative humidity levels and reduce heat in urban centers.

Various studies have also shown that plants help to reduce noise pollution. It is for this reason th at municipalities will now often plant walls of

vegetation in neighborhoods bordering main roads. It has been demonstrated that foliage one meter th ick growing vertically blocks 8 to 10 decibels.

Another important point to make is that plants improve water quality. How do they do this? By slowin g down surface water run off, plants allow the

water to permeate the soil as well as helping to control flooding and fighting erosion, a phenomenon which has become an increasing reality over the

last few years with the climate changes we are experiencing.

Finally, we must all recognize the fact that plants attract birds and other animal species. Encourag ing plant life is one way of maintaining biological

diversity, not forgetting the pleasure which derives from observing the spectacle of the many bird s pecies in our gardens.

Gardening is an enjoyable pastime which improves our health as well as our environment.

It isn’t all that long ago that garden centers could only offer us a very limited choice in perennia l plants; those plants which grow back every

spring over a period of many years. Today, however, we have a huge range to choose from and every ye ar dozens of new varieties are available to

us.

Whether you are looking for perennials for sunny or shady corners, moist ground or sloping areas, ga rden centers will be able to supply all your

needs in different sizes ranging from 10 cm to 2-liter pots. If you have the necessary budget, the l arger size pots will allow your flower beds to

bloom much sooner.

Unlike annual flowers, which must be planted every spring, perennials stay in the same spot for many years. This means that good planning is

required before making any purchases. During the first years, it is better to have flower beds which are fairly empty rather than being obliged to

eliminate certain plants during the second year because of overcrowding.

When the time comes to make your choices, think about limiting yourself in terms of colour. If you d on’t do this your flower bed will give the

impression of looking very much like a pizza! A new trend in gardening consists of creating contrast s with the foliage of your perennials. You should

be aware of the fact that many perennials draw attention because of their foliage rather than their flowers. Two examples of this are the heuchera

and the hosta.

When planting perennials, it is important to mix some good compost and fertilizer into the soil in o rder for the plant to establish itself quickly. To

avoid disappointment, you should position all the pots on the flowerbed in such a way as to be able to visualize the layout of the plants. This is a

simple way of distributing them according to height at maturity, color, etc.

Once this task is completed, the soil should be kept moist for several weeks in order to help the pl ants establish themselves in their new home.

You should also keep the flower bed free of weeds, removing them as they appear.

If you love tall perennials, such as delphiniums, it is important to support them with tutors so the y will not be damaged on windy days.

As the gardening season is relatively short in most regions of Canada, not many gardeners like to cu t back their plants in the springtime. So,

because we are eager to see the first flowers in bloom, we hesitate to remove young shoots. However, gardeners should be aware that even

though pinching the first shoots may delay flowering slightly, the number of flowers you will see bl ossoming on your plants will certainly make up for

it. The pinching method entails holding the young shoot between the thumb and index finger and snapp ing it off just above a leaf.

There are perennials for every type of garden, for sunny or shaded corners, for moist ground or for sloping areas.

Perennials: So Simple To Grow!

CHAMPLAIN — Although the lasttwo baccalaureate services for soon-to-be graduates of Northeastern ClintonCentral School have not been well-at-tended, the Rev. Al Johnson is hopingfor a change this year.

The third annual baccalaureate serv-ice will be held at St. Mary’s Church,Sunday, June 13, at 3 p.m. The event isput together by the Northern Tier Min-istries — a group of Catholic/Christianchurches in Northeast Clinton County.

“The faith communities come togeth-er to honor and to help the graduates seehow faith can be a benefit to them intheir lives,” Johnson explained of theservice.

Johnson said baccalaureate servicesbegan in 1432 at Oxford University.

“Baccalaureates are very prevalent insome areas, in some school districts,” hesaid. “Historically, they’re a great tie-inbetween higher education and any

church, not just the Christian church.”One of the goals for the service is for

the students to see people from variousfaiths join together.

“People of faith do work together andI think it’s important for the graduatesto see that,” Johnson explained, “partic-ularly in a smaller area where they’renot always going to be able to see a lotof diversity.”

At this year ’s service, Johnson is hop-ing the guest speaker will bring in morepeople to the service.

“The new Roman Catholic bishop ofthe Diocese [of Ogdensburg] will becoming,” he said of the Most. Rev. Ter-ry LaValley, a Mooers Forks native andpast NCCS graduate. “We’re hopingthat’s a draw. The area is predominate-ly Roman Catholic.”

Aside from the graduates, their fami-lies and other members of the commu-nity are welcome to attend the event.

“It’s an open service,” Johnson said.“It’s hopefully just an uplifting time tocome together.”

NCCS graduates to be honoredthrough faith service June 13

When the tournament was created byMichael Mannix — former executive direc-tor of then the United Way of Clinton andEssex Counties — the plan was to make it afundraising event with celebrities.

“He thought that this would be some-thing different by getting Olympians,” ex-plained United Way administrative coordi-nator Kathy Snow. “It puts a different spinon it.”

Teams of three people sign up for thetournament and either an Olympian or a lo-cal celebrity will be the fourth player.

“It’s a fun event,” said Snow.Registration for the day begins at 8 a.m.,

with tee off time at 10 a.m. However, there’smore to the day than just golf.

Players begin with a continental break-fast and end the day with a barbecue.Throughout the day prizes are given out aswell as trophies.

“They have money holes, the longestdrive award, the closest to the pin,” Snow

explained. “There’s two trophies that aregiven out for first place net and first placegross.”

One of the trophies is in memory of Man-nix, while the other is in memory of JackShea — a former Olympian.

“He was a double gold-medal winnerspeedskater in Lake Placid,” explainedSnow.

The prizes and awards given throughoutthe day are to encourage people to join thetournament, which averages $12,000 in pro-ceeds.

“It goes for a good cause,” Snow said.“The whole proceeds goes to help the Unit-ed Way and the partner agencies.”

To register for the golf classic or to be-come a sponsor, visit the United Way officeat 45 Tom Miller Road, call 563-0028, or vis-it www.unitedwayadk.org. The cost is $500for a team of three, which includes greensfees, cart, free raffle gifts, and breakfast anddinner.

HARKNESS — Even if it’s junk to you, AllisonArnold wants you to know it may be one person’streasure.

That’s why Arnold has brought “Treasures fromYour Trunk” back to the grounds of Harkness UnitedMethodist Church for the second year in a row. Theweekly event gives people the opportunity to essen-tially set up rummage sales from the trunks of their ve-hicles, turning new and used items into cold, hard cash— and have fun doing it at the same time.

“We wanted to do this again this year because wehad so much fun last year,” said Arnold. “We didn’tmake a ton of money, but we did make about a $100 or$200 [in vendor donations for the church] that wewouldn’t have made if people hadn’t come.”

Even though the event brings people together witha common goal of selling, the end result of Treasuresfrom Your Trunk is more than just making a little extraspending money.

“We’ve made friends and developed relationships.People have come and hung out and had a blast,” saidArnold.

Sabrina Hamilton, Peru, didn’t participate in Trea-sures from Your Trunk last year, but decided she’d giveit a shot this time around. And, she’s glad she did.

“The people here are wonderful, absolutely fantastic,” shesaid. “They welcomed me with open arms. It was really nice.”

Hamilton has created her own jewelry for several years, mak-ing necklaces and other hand-crafted pieces out of minerals and

shells. She had always given them as gifts to friends and fam-ily, until her mother and mother-in-law suggested she try sell-ing her creations.

“I figured, why not,” she said.

That was the same attitude that broughtRobert King, Morrisonville, to the church thisyear. King, a disabled veteran, learned how tomake braided rugs out of fleece blankets whilein the hospital, never thinking he’d one daymake them as a hobby and sell them.

“When I came home, I started buying blan-kets and I’d take one and cut it into strips andbraid three different blankets together,” he said.“I’ve thought of it as a good hobby, especiallyin the winter months.”

Only recently did he think of his hobby as be-ing a potential money-maker.

“I heard about [Treasures from Your Trunk],so I thought I’d come over,” said King, whoadded he gained a lot of attention for his blan-kets and other items he had for sale. “I’ll haveto come back and bring my wood carvings.”

That’s the kind of enthusiasm that getsArnold excited about bringing back Treasuresfrom Your Trunk.

“When we were asked if we should do it againthis year, we felt that it can only get bigger andbetter,” said Arnold. “We’ve already had morecars parked here this year than last year. We’rehoping we build on this year after year.”

Treasures from Your Trunk will continue atthe church — on the corner of Harkness and

Hallock Hill roads — Saturdays from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. The eventwill be held throughout the summer, rain or shine. Vendors arecharged a $5 donation for space.

For more information, call 643-2817.

Sabrina Hamilton, Peru, arranged jewelry she had for sale last Saturday at Treasures from Your Trunk,a unique rummage sale event at Harkness United Methodist Church. The event is in its second year.

At Anheuser-Busch, we believe the sooner parents teach their kids the responsibilities of drinking, the more likely it is the kids will decide not to drink before they’re of age - and to drink responsibly, if they choose to drink, when they become adults.

With this in mind, we’ve developed “Family Talk About Drinking,” a series of informative guides written with the help of experts in family counseling and alcohol education. Call for your copies today, because it’s never too soon to start talking to your kids about drinking.
