Cronk [email protected] MOOERS — Community gardens are becoming in- creasingly popular for pro- viding nutritious food, re- ducing food budgets and even improving neighbor- hood development. And, as they’ve been seen pop- ping up throughout the re- gion, Mooers is getting in on the growing trend. The Mooers Community Garden has been estab- lished on LaValley Road on six acres of land owned by Mooers resident Ron Trombly, who came up with the idea. “[Trombly] said he had been cultivating it for the last few years and he did- n’t have a need for it,” ex- plained Marge Pombrio, who serves as the public relations liaison for the garden group. With the abundance of land donated for use as a community garden, Pom- brio and her husband, Royce, worked to set up 20-foot by 70-foot plot lines, leaving a plot for themselves. “We can make smaller plots. We can make some half the size,” Pombrio said. “We’re new at this too, so, we just want to help the community.” So far, only one other taker has chosen to set up a plot, leaving plenty of space for more plots to be- gin. Considering plots are free of charge and not lim- ited to Mooers residents, Pombrio said she’d like to see interest and the garden enlarge. “It really is a wonderful opportunity for families that either live in apart- ments or mobile homes that don’t have land or don’t have land worked up or don’t have the knowl- edge,” she said. “We’re not experts by any means, but if we can help anybody with anything, we’d be glad to.” “It may be too late this year to get more than one or two more people,” she added, “though the way that the weather has been, it’s so cold that people will be starting their gardens maybe later.” Currently, the Mooers Community Garden does not have a water source, except for the Great Chazy Marge and Royce Pombrio, left, and Ron Trombly stand by a sign for the Mooers Community Garden on LaValley Road in Mooers.

ALTONA — When Barbara Nephewlearned she was recipient of the 2009Elizabeth Heins Inspirational Survivor-ship Award, she was in total shock.

The 68-year-old cancer survivor andPlattsburgh resident was among a roomfull of people attending the 11th annu-al Treasure Chests Rainbow of RibbonsSoiree May 21 at the Rainbow Weddingand Banquet Hall when she was calledup to accept the award.

“I was thinking, ‘Oh my God. I guessthis means I have to go on stage,’” saidNephew, laughing. “I was wonderingwhat I was going to say and, of course,when you do that, you draw a blank.”

The award annually recognizes abreast cancer survivor who has exhibit-ed the same characteristics as ElizabethHeins, who was diagnosed with breastcancer, among other medical issues, inthe mid-1980s. Nephew was nominatedby her peers for her commitment to can-cer awareness groups and other effortssince she was diagnosed with breastcancer in 2003.

Nephew’s cancer was classified as in-flammatory breast cancer, which is amore aggressive and rare form of breastcancer, she explained. In Nephew’scase, there was no lump in her breast totip her off to the cancer within her.Though her cancer was treated withchemotherapy and radiation and sheunderwent a mastectomy, cancer reoc-curred in her clavicle region a few yearslater. She went through further treat-ment and is doing well today.

What’s kept Nephew going since herlife was first affected by cancer hasbeen focusing on others, she said, justas the late Elizabeth Heins was knownfor. Nephew began teaching religion ather church, and, being a retired ele-mentary school teacher, she found greatjoy in substitute teaching as a way tooccupy her time.

“I purposely kept myself busy think-ing about other people,” she said.

Nephew also became active in theTreasure Chests breast cancer supportgroup through CVPH Medical Center,and began working on committees forcancer awareness events such as the an-nual Susan G. Komen Foundation Racefor the Cure held in Albany and the an-

nual Relay for Life walk held in Platts-burgh.

Overall, Nephew’s experience withcancer is one that has forever changedher perspective, which is why she hassince tried to get as much out of life aspossible.

“I think you realize that you’re notimmortal,” said Nephew. “It’s some-thing you never think about and all ofa sudden you realize no one lives for-ever and that you need to pack in asmuch as you can.”

Though she thanked everyone for theaward, Nephew said her state of shockshe believed she forgot to pay tribute tothe memory of Elizabeth Heins.

“I never knew her, but I was at theTreasure Chests meetings when peoplewere saying we’ve got to do somethingfor Elizabeth,” Nephew recalled of thetime in 2005 shortly after Heins suc-

cumbed to cancer. “That’s when theycame up with the award which is a greatway to honor Elizabeth and all that Iunderstand she stood for.”

Though she is the recipient of thisyear ’s award, a humbled Nephew saidshe felt there are “many other nomineeswho are probably more worthy than Iam.”

“I’m still feeling like how can this beme, even though I have this award thattells me so. It’s just amazing,” saidNephew. “It’s unbelievable. And, theseare big shoes to fill, too.”

Since established, the ElizabethHeins Inspirational SurvivorshipAward has been given to Gracelyn Mur-phy, Cyndi Topnick, Marie Beemer andLibby Goller. In addition to recipientsreceiving a plaque, their photographsare placed on permanent display at theCVPH Fitzpatrick Cancer Center.

PLATTSBURGH — TheAdirondack District of theBoy Scouts of Americawants to ensure opportuni-ties are available for youthsto continue the tradition ofScouting for years to come.

As a means of raisingfunding for the organizationand honoring its members,the Adirondack District willhost its Good Scout Break-fast this Tuesday, June 9, atAmerican Legion Post 20 onQuarry Road.

Event organizer BernardC. Bassett said during chal-lenging economic times it ismore important than ever toensure quality programs foryoung people remain avail-able.

“These are difficult timesto be a young person, andprograms like Scouting aremore important than ever inhelping us shape the nextgeneration of leaders,” saidBassett. “The breakfast is anopportunity for the commu-nity to come out and showtheir support for a great or-ganization and it’s also good

chance for the Scouts to seethe community there sup-porting what they do.”

The Adirondack District,which encompasses much ofthe region, has been experi-encing “phenomenal suc-cess” reaching young peopleand “equipping them to beresponsible, capable, activecitizens,” Bassett said in arecent letter seeking finan-cial support for the Scoutingprogram.

“Scouting is very impor-tant for young people, giv-ing them positive adult rolemodels and helping themlearn activities that supporttheir communities,” saidBassett. “And, when wehave a new president inWashington who is empha-sizing volunteerism andpublic service, this is a pro-gram that teaches that toyoung people and also theadults in the program whogive up a lot of their ownpersonal time to be able tolead a troop.”

“It’s a core piece of a qual-ity community,” Bassettadded.

The annual breakfastfundraiser gives the public

the opportunity to learnmore about Scouting and, atthe same time, help providenecessary funding for pro-grams and financial assis-tance to youths who mightotherwise be unable to af-ford enrolling in such aworthwhile program, saidBassett.

“As we all know, there area lot of families who haveyoungsters who would liketo be involved in Scouting,but paying for a uniformand some of the costs asso-ciated can be challenging,”said Bassett. “This is just agreat way for the communi-ty to help and say ‘keep upthe good work.’”

This Tuesday’s breakfastwill be held from 7:30-8:30a.m., and include a programfeaturing a presentation byEagle Scout Patrick Robare,among others. The cost ofthe breakfast is $10.

For more information orto make a reservation for thebreakfast, contact Bassett at593-7324 or Adirondack Dis-trict executive directorKristin Shives at 561-0360.

PERU — The North Country hasshown its support for one of its own af-fected by cancer.

Crickets Restaurant hosted aspaghetti dinner benefit for AuSableForks native and now Peru residentRobert “Bob” Wilkins May 31, withdozens of people pouring through thedoors to offer words of encouragementand financial support to defray hismedical expenses.

The amount of people who turnedout for the event amazed both BobWilkins and his wife, Lisa, who were inattendance with their three childrenMelinda, Bobby and Christa.

“I almost feel guilty people gave upa nice Sunday to come here for this,”said Bob Wilkins, who spent the after-noon mingling with family andfriends. “We’ve seen so many peoplewe haven’t seen in years. It just makesme feel bad that we haven’t kept upwith them.”

However, there’s been much on BobWilkins’ plate in recent months, sincebeing diagnosed in April with stagefour colon cancer.

“The shock of it’s over,” he said.“Now, we’re just trying to speak withas many people as possible who’vemade it through similar experiencesand getting their feelings andthoughts. It’s easier on us knowingthere are people who’ve beaten this.”

Lisa Wilkins agreed as she sat withher husband in a booth during the ben-efit. The two, who were high schoolsweethearts, will celebrate their 20thwedding anniversary in July.

“Life without him would be devas-tating,” she said.

Though there is a long road ahead forher husband, Lisa Wilkins said shefeels the support and kind words their

family have received has made all thedifference.

“It’s been very overwhelming, butour friends and family have been won-derful,” she said.

Since receiving his diagnosis, BobWilkins said his wife and children havebeen his own personal public relationsteam, fielding questions about his con-dition. The chemotherapy treatmentshe has been undergoing have left himweak and tired at times, leading him tosleep a lot. But, the phone still rings.

“While I’m sick and I’m sleeping, shehas to answer every phone call, everyquestion, every family member ’s andfriend’s concern,” Bob Wilkins said ofhis wife. “She has to front all those callsand it’s like being interviewed every

day. I think that’s been the hardest partbecause it’s been hard on her and thekids.”

“It’s great, though, because we did-n’t realize how many people care,” headded.

The Wilkinses are hoping the sup-port they’ve seen will continue as theirfamily patriarch continues his firstround of chemotherapy, scheduled toend the first week of August.

According to Caregiver.com, people over the age of65 represent 14 percent of the U.S. population butconsume more than one-third of prescription med-

ications. The average senior uses more than five differentmedications each day, not including over-the-counter drugs.It is imperative seniors and their caregivers are aware of theproper uses of their medications. Here are some tips:

• Be familiar with dosage instructions: should the drug betaken with food or on an empty stomach? Not following in-structions can cause complications or make the medicationless effective.

• Understand storage instructions and follow them. Manymedicines should not be stored in the bathroom, because ofmoisture and heat.

• Be aware some medications cause sensitivity to sunlight,resulting in severe sunburn or skin eruptions. Temperatureextremes should be avoided when taking some medications.

• Avoid some foods when taking medications. For exam-ple, grapefruit juice can interact with many medications,rendering them ineffective. Some medications may depletethe body of nutrients, so supplementation may be necessary.

• Understand what side effects may occur and watch forthem. Be aware of reactions or symptoms that need imme-diate attention. Some reactions may be more extreme in old-er persons.

• Learn the proper dosagesof over-the-counter medica-tions. Too many people as-sume they are safer than pre-scription drugs because theyare more easily acquired.Some over–the-counter med-ications, like antacids, canminimize the effectiveness ofantibiotics.

• Recognize the risks of us-ing herbal medications with other medications. Herbal med-ications should be used with other medications with caution.Many herbs can interact with medications and cause severereactions.

• Familiarize yourself with what to do if you miss a dose.Sometimes it’s not as simple as just taking an extra dose. Ifyou have difficulty keeping track of your medications, keepa diary.

“NA“NATURE”TURE”

This week we look at Apple’s Safari which, accordingto Market Share (marketshare.hitslink.com), owns8.21 percent of the browser market. The current ver-

sion of Safari for Windows is 3.2 but the next version, Safari4, is our focus today.

Safari 4 will be released sometime this year but earlyadopters can have it now in beta form. Apple has alwaysbeen great at marketing, with efforts to push Safari no dif-ferent. Apple claims Safari 4 is “innovative” and “theworld’s fastest browser” but do the claims hold true?

Under the hood Safari 4 sports the open-source Webkitrendering engine which has always been highly Web-stan-dard compliant. One thing that sets Safari apart from com-petitors is Nitro, its new JavaScript engine. Apple says Ni-tro “executes JavaScript up to 30 times faster than IE 7…”Recent testing by Maximum PC gives confirmation. Maxi-mum ran Safari through the SunSpider JavaScript bench-mark with a time of 612 milliseconds. Compare that to IE7’s27,760 milliseconds or IE8’s 3,356 milliseconds and we clear-ly see a winner.

Apple reworked the user interface giving it a very dis-tinctive Windows look. It has a simple navigation layoutwhere the Menu bar is gone and the Refresh button is inte-grated with the Address bar. The Smart Address and SmartSearch features operate very much like the awesome bar in

Firefox by interpreting inputand offering a list built frombookmarks and browser his-tory. One unique feature iscalled Top Sites, which dis-plays either the most visitedor favorite sites in 3D format.Every time a new tab isopened the user instantlysees all the sites and can clickon the desired page.

Safari is clearly a topbrowser with clever featuresbut I recommend Windowsusers wait for the stable re-lease of version 4. Find it atapple.com/safari.

Technical Rescue Team trainsfor high-altitude emergencies

By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

PLATTSBURGH — If you ask Donald G.Uhler, he’ll tell you that you can never be tooprepared.

Uhler, who heads up the Saranac Techni-cal Rescue Team and serves as chief of theSaranac Volunteer Fire Department, workedwith firefighters from the Saranac and Mor-risonville fire departments last weekend onhigh-altitude rescues.

The three-day training session involvedthe rescue team receiv-ing classroom instruc-tion from a representa-tive of Rescue Tech In-ternational, Billings,Mont. The training alsoinvolved a simulatedtower rescue at the for-mer Clinton County Air-port off State Route 3 inthe town of Plattsburgh.

The reason behindtraining for a high alti-tude emergency was simply because it couldalways happen, said Uhler.

“We’ve been doing technical rescue forquite a few years now and we’ve got expe-rience on the water and for other emergen-cies, but one of the things nobody’s everdone in the county are tower rescues,” saidUhler. “We felt there was need to ventureinto tower rescues as part of the evolution ofour rescue team.”

A tower rescue is completely differentthan rural, mountain-type rescues, ex-plained Uhler, also utilizing different toolsand techniques. Towers, whether they arefor energy transmission or communication,can be very dangerous, especially consider-

ing they’re man-made, he said.“Big rock cliffs are big rock cliffs,” said

Uhler. “We can deal with those, but beforeyou even get on a tower you have to inspectthe base of it, check it for ground wires andto see if any residual electricity is running toit.”

“That’s probably the biggest hazard witha tower rescue,” Uhler continued. “Lots ofchildren are killed every year playing ontowers or utility workers making a wrongmove and being electrocuted.”

While utility companies predominatelyhave safety personnel trainedin rescues, said Uhler, havingthe rescue team at the readyin the event of an emergencywould only be an asset.

“The object is for us tohopefully be trained to a lev-el that if there were ever alarge-scale situation, we’d betrained to a level where wecould assist them if request-ed,” said Uhler.

And, as more and moreconstruction projects come to

the area, this type of training can also apply,said Uhler.

“These rescue techniques would work thesame if someone needed to be rescued fromscaffolding, 25-30 feet in the air,” said Uh-ler.

The idea of inviting other departments inon the training session was to share knowl-edge that could one day save a life, regard-less of where an incident occurs.

“It’s great having departments workingtogether. Manpower is always limited andso is equipment, so if you can get depart-ments joining together, it’s a good thing foreveryone.

“We felt there wasneed to venture intotower rescues as part ofthe evolution of our res-cue team.”

River, which it is situatedagainst. However, Tromblyhad spoken to Pombrioabout putting in a water sys-tem next year.

“Depends on how muchneed he has for it,” Pombriosaid. “He doesn’t want to goto the trouble if it’s only twogardens it’s for.”

Overall, Pombrio seesmany positive aspects of theMooers Community Garden,especially with the currenteconomy.

“The price of everything isso high and the economictimes are so bad. And it’s somuch fun. It really is,” shesaid. “I raked this one dayand my arms hurt so much Icould barely move ... but thenext day I was ready to comeback out and do it again.”

the Top 36 finalist of that na-tionwide television compe-tition. It’s that type of ex-citement Ashline hopes willfuel the enthusiasm for theSt. Ann’s competition.

“Every year we have akaraoke/lip syncing talentshow,” explained Ashline,“and with American Idol be-ing a big hit this year, wethought if we changed thewording of our competition,we’d have more contestantscome.”

Typically, the bazaar ’ssinging competition drawsparticipation from 20-30people, but with the newway of promoting it, Ashlinewould like to see that num-ber increase dramatically.

“There’s so much talentout there. A lot of peopledon’t even realize,” she said.“We’re hoping they’ll comeand have lots of fun.”

As an added incentive,cash prizes will be given tothose placing first, secondand third in the competitionwhich will have two divi-sions — ages 5-12 and ages13 and older.

“We thought it would bebetter to have two agegroups because it wouldn’tbe fair to have kids compet-ing against adults,” saidAshline.

The singing competitionwill only be part of the fun

planned for this Sunday,Ashline said.

The bazaar will actuallybegin with a parade at 11a.m., starting at the corner ofDavison and Blackman Cor-ners Road. Backroads Coun-try, a country music band,will perform from 12-2:30p.m., followed by a per-formance by the NorthernLights Square Dancers from2:30-3:30 p.m. The St. Ann’s

American Idol will followfrom 3:30-6 p.m. Registra-tion for the contest will be-gin at 2 p.m. There is no en-try fee, though participantsare asked to bring their ownmusic on a CD.

Throughout the day, therewill be games for kids and apetting zoo featuring al-pacas. Also, a roast beef din-ner will be offered, as well ashamburgers, hot dogs,

sausage, French fries,onions and other carnivalfood.

The bazaar will wrap upat 6 p.m. with a giant raffleof several donated high-quality items.

For more informationabout this Sunday’s bazaaror the St. Ann’s AmericanIdol contest, contact Ashlineat 236-7327.

Two plots have already begun at the new Mooers Community Garden. Nearly six acres of land is avail-able for anyone wishing to begin a garden, free of charge.

The organizers of this year’s St. Ann’s Bazaar are hoping to draw in a larger crowd by revamping theirkaraoke/lip syncing competition and promoting it as “St. Ann’s American Idol,” modeled after the pop-ular television show American Idol. Pictured here are a few performers from last year’s competition.

everything in between, said Dermody.“And, the great thing about this project is that it was a

class project, but the kids broke out into group and each didsomething different,” she said.

The project turned didn’t feel like an assignment, said thestudents, but was more about getting to know people intheir community whom they might not otherwise get achance to interact with under normal circumstances.

Rebekah Grim was among the students touched by thestories the veterans shared, saying she got a lot out of theevent.

“We always talk about in our class how the war affectedour region, but we didn’t really know how actual lives wereaffected until we talked to them,” said Grim. “Sometimes,war veterans don’t like to talk about their experiences, butall of them seemed to be really open to talking to us and an-swering our questions.”

Student Max Mailhot, who gave the opening speech at thedinner, said he, too, felt honored to speak with the veteransand learn about the hardships they faced while servingoverseas.

“It was great beingable to talk to themabout the war and justgetting to know them,”said Mailhot. “I don’tthink they’re recognizedenough for what theydid. And, that’s ashame.”

“It’s amazing to knowjust what they did forour country,” added stu-dent Ashley Goyette.

The veterans werealso treated to a videocompiled by studentTegan Spinner of interviews with his fellow students aboutwhat they were thankful for because of the veterans’ sacri-fices.

“The things we mentioned in the video are things thatsome people take for granted sometimes,” said Spinner. “Itwas interesting after they saw the video to hear people saythey were happy about it and the dinner and that we tookthe time and effort to do it.”

“The whole reason we put on the dinner was to show ourappreciation for them,” said Grim. “Yet, as they were leav-ing, they kept telling us ‘thank you’ repeatedly because theyappreciated we took the time out to show them how muchwe care about them.”

One of the veterans was so touched, said Dermody, shereceived an e-mail the very next day thanking the class forall they did.

“That really meant a lot,” she said.

The Friends of Point auRoche State Park, a groupwhose main mission is to“Protect, Preserve and Pro-mote” the park, has held anannual Spring Field Day atheld at the park on Camp RedCloud Road for the majorityof their nearly 12-year exis-tence.

During this year ’s fieldday May 30, numerous activ-ities brought out swarms ofpeople — despite the rainyweather.

With the park’s 825 acres

and many trails to hike, peo-ple visited the park to studybirds, view trees and plants,learn about geological forma-tions, and clean up some ofthe trails.

Duffy Nelson, an eighthgrade social studies teacherat Beekmantown MiddleSchool and advisor for theschool’s National JuniorHonor Society, brought outnearly 20 of the NJHS stu-dents to assist in the parkclean-up.

“I was approached by Ger-ry O’Connor and he men-tioned that [the “Friends”]would need help on cleaningup some of the trails on May30,” Nelson explained.

Nelson added one of the re-quirements for students to beinvolved in the Honor Soci-ety is for them to get involvedin community service proj-ects and she felt “this mightbe a good project.”

“Some of the students havenever been [to the park] be-fore so it is a nice way to ex-pose them to that,” she said.“And, just being outdoorsand helping the communityand doing something morethan just about themselves.”

“She was fantastic,” saidclean-up organizer GerryO’Connor of Nelson. “She or-ganized everything andwrote a letter to all of the par-ents. She was really good.”

However, while discussingthe many other activities heldthroughout the field day, in-cluding making smoothies,bucket gardening, and look-ing at pond critters, many ofthe Friends thought back tothe beginning of why theycame to be an organization.

“The town of Beekman-town really wanted to put[the park] back on the taxrolls,” explained member He-len Booth. “I happened to be

at one of the legislative meet-ings when that came up.”

Having heard no priorword of the potential closingof the park, Booth interrupt-ed the legislative meetingand postponed the vote.

“I got on the phone and Icalled the Adirondack Moun-tain Club and I called all theenvironmental groups Icould think of,” Booth re-called. “And, at the next leg-islative meeting, there wasquite a lot of people there andwe convinced them that itshouldn’t be sold.”

“We needed a park, thegreen space,” she added. “So,that was the beginning ofwhat started the wholething.”

The Friends began to helpsupport the park for thethings the state couldn’t payfor.

“It was to be the ‘fundrais-er ’ arm of the state park,”

Booth said. “There are somany things the state could-n’t afford to do, or weren’table to do.”

Today the Friends are a501(c)(3) nonprofit organiza-tion that provides education-al and recreational activitiesand programs to the public as

well well as administeringgrants for the park and coor-dinating volunteer efforts.

The 41 items in the Market Basket came in at $96.22for April, up from $95.45 in March, and $92.87 lastApril.

Prices were fairly stable from last month overall with thenotable exception of produce and frozen foods, which wereboth up 5 percent over March prices. Although there havebeen decreases in the price of many produce items for theyear, the overall category is up 22 percent, driven by a 66percent increase in the cost of potatoes since April of 2008.

This month in the produce category there were price de-creases on bananas, Iceberg lettuce and yellow onions.

In the meat department, prices were stable, although therewere sales on bottom round roast and chuck steak.

Breads, cereals and grain prices continued to decrease, re-covering from the high prices of the winter on bread andflour.

Canned goods posted a decrease on diced tomatoes andStar Kist tuna fish. The prices on Del Monte fruit cocktail,Green Giant peas and vegetable soup in beef stock all re-mained unchanged.

Frozen food prices were up on all products, with signifi-cant increases on haddock and green beans.

Dairy prices have been steadily declining, with decreasesin the prices of butter, Parkay margarine, American sliced

cheese and large eggs.Drinks saw decreases in

the price of coffee and teabags.

Seasonal reminderPineapple, mangos, and

Vidalia onions are at theirpeak. Watermelon season hasbegun, but other melonscome later in the summer.Rhubarb is pushing up in lo-cal gardens. The PlattsburghFarmer's Market is open forthe season.

The Market Basket is a monthly report based on a survey of 41food items commonly purchased by consumers. The SUNY Platts-burgh Office of Institutional Research collects data for the reportfrom four major supermarkets in the Plattsburgh area. The reportis then compiled as a community service sponsored by the Tech-nical Assistance Center and the SUNY Plattsburgh Office of In-stitutional Advancement.

April market basket up 5% since March

Have you ever gone to the grocery store and won-dered why prices on the same items change somuch each week? A box of pasta may cost 79 cents

one week and $2.39 the next. A bottle of juice that costs $2today may cost $4.29 just a few days from now. Most peopleaccept these price fluctuations as normal. Many don’t evennotice them at all.

Why do prices at the grocery store change so much in ashort period of time? Grocery stores sales run in 12-week cy-cles. Most everything in the store is at its lowest price pointjust once every 12 weeks. Throughout the rest of the cyclethe price may fluctuate a bit, but it won’t go to its rock-bot-tom low again until the 12-week cycle is complete.

You might be thinking what I thought when I initiallylearned this valuable piece of information: “What if I hadjust bought more pasta last week when it was 79 cents?” Bet-ter yet: “What would have happened if I bought enough box-es of pasta to last my household 12 weeks?” I’d save $1.60on each box. If we ate pasta once a week for the next 12weeks, I would save $19.20 by buying all 12 boxes in one tripwhen the price was low.

Granted, this approach goes against everything we typi-cally do as shoppers. When it’s time to go to the store, mostof us look around the house, see what we’re out of, and thengo to the store to buy it. But the problem with this is it’s im-possible for every item on our list to be at its lowest pricepoint, since different categories of grocery items operate ondifferent pricing cycles. That’s part of the grocery store’smarketing plan. Stores know if shoppers come in for a saleitem, it’s likely they will buy many other full-priced items.

As shoppers, changing the way we shop is the key to sav-ing money. Obviously, it’s not easy to stock up on perishableproduce and dairy items. But many other products are easyto store for long periods. If you start saving money on slow-to-outdate items — cereal, canned and frozen foods and per-sonal-care items like toothpaste and shampoo — your entire

grocery bill will start to comedown.

Here’s the challenge: Weare just not in the habit ofbuying 12 boxes of pasta at atime. But why not? Pasta hasa long shelf life. It doesn’tspoil. It’s easy to store. Yet,when we see it on sale weusually don’t think, “That’s agreat price. I’m going to buya dozen.” When I became aSuper-Couponer, I startedseeing shopping in a newlight. I started buying largerquantities of my household staples when they were at theirlowest prices.

Die-hard couponers refer to buying in quantity as “stock-piling.” When you buy more than you need because the priceis low you can “shop from home” the next time you need thatitem, because you have stockpiled it in your kitchen cup-board. And you’ve avoided paying the higher price for theidentical item in the grocery store this week because youpurchased enough to last your household almost threemonths when the price was lowest.

And we haven’t even discussed coupons yet! Imagine thatduring the pasta sale, I had coupons for 75 cents off each boxof pasta. I would now be buying my pasta for just four centsa box. We’ll discuss how to use coupons in conjunction withthe 12-week sales cycle next week.

PLATTSBURGH — Leo Lee has re-turned.

Though the Plattsburgh City SchoolDistrict sixth-grader didn’t bring homethe gold at the Scripps NationalSpelling Bee in Washington, D.C, it wasan experience he said he’d never forget.

“It was really fun. I made a lot offriends,” said Leo.

Leo made it to Round 3 of the May26-28 competition, just one round shyof reaching the semifinals. When giventhe word “pericoronitis” — which isdefined as a dental condition in whichtissue around the wisdom tooth has be-come infected — Leo spelled it as“parachorinitis.”

“I didn’t know it,” admitted Leo.Jason Lee, Leo’s father, was as

shocked as his son when he heard theword.

“He studied thousands of words buthe just didn’t know that one,” said Ja-son. “The words were just more diffi-cult in that round. The good thing wasit was a great education for him andnow he’s getting even more seriousabout next year.”

Though it’s only been a matter ofdays since returning from Washington,Leo does have his sights set on return-ing. In order to do that, he’ll again haveto win the Champlain Valley Educa-tional Services Regional Spelling Beenext February — something for which

he has already begun studying dili-gently.

“I’m going to need to work harder,”said Leo.

If Leo doesn’t make it back to na-tionals next year, his father said allwouldn’t be lost.

“The majority of the participants thisyear [at the national bee] were eighth-graders and the winner was an eighth-

grader,” said Jason. “So, maybe hisyear will be in eighth grade.”

“I still had fun and got to see somecool museums,” Leo added about thisyear ’s trip.

And, what does Leo have to say tothe people who supported him in hisstint at nationals?

“Hi! And, thanks for rooting for me,”he said.

COUNTRY CORNER DINER

PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh Public Li-brary has attracted area elementary schoolchildren to take part in their summer read-ing program for more than 10 years. Thisyear, however, they received some assis-tance.

Library director Stanley A. Ransom con-tacted Hannaford Supermarkets in hopes ofreceiving grant money to cover expenses forthe program.

“Each year, we have the summer readingprogram and it costs about $3,000 to put on,”Ransom explained, which includes the costsof purchasing extra books and prize incen-tives for the children, who range in age frompre-schoolers through sixth grade.

According to Tara Morgan, community re-lations specialist for Hannaford, the compa-ny often supports “children-based organiza-tions” such as summer camps, although theyusually do so by providing healthy snacks.

“But, in this instance, it was very clear thatthese two organizations were in desperateneed of some cash to even be able to moveforward with these programs,” Morgan ex-plained, referring also to Fletcher Free Li-brary in Burlington, Vt., who needed moneyfor their summer reading program. “It wassomething a little bit different for us, butsomething that was obviously a worthycause.”

“We haven’t had a grant from Han-naford’s in the past,” Ransom said. “One ofthe things that they are interested in is thepromotion of children’s reading. So, this iswhy we applied to them for this grant. Wewere just so delighted to hear that we weregoing to be receiving this grant.”

This year, Plattsburgh Public Library isfollowing the theme provided by the NewYork State Public Library, “Be Creative atYour Library.” Some of the activities plannedthroughout the summer, which the grantmoney will go toward, include arts andcrafts, storytelling, musicians, Mr. Beau theClown, and Steve Charney, a ventriloquist.

“So, we have a little bit of everything,”Ransom said.

“Once they’re here we make sure they geta library card, take out books and get start-ed with their reading,” he added.

Ransom has found promoting reading forchildren during the summer months is agreat advantage for them, often improvingtheir reading skills.

“There was a study some years ago in atown in Long Island by teachers who saidthat children who don’t read in the summerlose about 20 percent of their words. Theyforget them,” Ransom explained. “If they’rein the summer reading programs, not onlydo they not lose the 20 percent, but they of-ten gain 10 or 20 percent more words.”

“I think learning about books and becom-ing interested in reading at an early age is re-

ally really important and something that wewant to support,” said Morgan.

Registration for the summer reading pro-gram will be held at the Plattsburgh Public

Library, 19 Oak St., Monday, June 22,

through Saturday, June 27. For more infor-

mation, call the library at 563-0921.

PLATTSBURGH — In the 1950s, a mantraveled to Korea and happened upon agroup of people singing a cappella. So beganthe story of The Cumberland Bay Show Cho-rus.

After the historic trip to Korea, JamesBrown came home and met up with friendLou Bernard to begin a barbershop quartetin Plattsburgh.

“They were so impressed with that theysaid, ‘Well, wait a minute. Maybe we can getthree, four people singing lead. Three, fourpeople singing [baritone] and bass. We’llhave a chorus,’” explained long-time chorusmember Robert Brooks. “Well, they starteddoing that and it just started to grow andgrow and grow.”

Finally, in 1959, the chorus was charteredby the Barbershop Harmony Society.

Since then, men from “all walks of life”have heard The Cumberland Bay Show Cho-rus and wanted to join.

“I attended their Christmas concert at St.Peter ’s this year,” said Ken Lushia, publicrelations coordinator and new member ofthe chorus. “They’re always asking for newmembers. I heard that message and I said ‘Iwant to be there.’”

Since then, Lushia has gone through thetraining, even taking voice lessons, and hasnow been a member for five months.

“The music sells itself. I think that’s whywe’re all in it,” said Lushia. “There’s a cer-tain attraction of that harmony, that ringing,that we can perform together. That alonebrings the people in. And, once you fall inlove with it, it’s history after that.”

However, for Brooks, his choice in joiningthe chorus was not entirely his own.

Forty-six years ago, after being away on abusiness trip, Brooks came home to his wife,Lois, who said “‘You can’t imagine where I[went] Saturday night,’” recalled Brooks.

“She said, ‘I went over to the Peru HighSchool and they had a barbershop paradethere. And, guess what? You’re going to be a

barbershopper.’ And, every Tuesday since,I’ve been a barbershopper,” he laughed.

During the past 50 years of the chorus,many men have experienced the harmony ofthe chorus, with membership ebbing andflowing, but no matter who is in the group,musical director Dianne Tortorelli-Brookssaid there is always a “closeness” and “sup-port” she has never seen anywhere else.

“Everybody is there for each other andsupports each other and you don’t alwaysfind that in other groups,” Tortorelli-Brooksexplained. “And even some choruses ...don’t have the camaraderie and the close-ness that this group has. So, it’s really spe-cial.”

However, it’s not just the members whosupport one another, it’s also the communi-ty.

“When they heard us sing, they wantedus,” Brooks said. “Every one of them.”

“They are so supportive of the barber-shoppers that it’s hard to believe that we ac-tually have followers that will follow us todifferent performances,” added Tortorelli-Brooks. “As long as they see that we’re per-forming some place, we’ll see them there.”

Over the last 50 years of existence, the cho-rus has also been there for the community.

“Of course everything we do, we give it tocharity,” said Brooks. “And, we’ve helped alot of young people in the community.”

The barbershop chorus also visits nursinghomes and hospitals to sing to the elderlythroughout the year. In fact, they’ll sing justabout anywhere to lift the spirits of thosearound them.

“For whatever reason we happened to bein the bank, the same bank, the same time,”explained Lushia, referring to Brooks andhimself. “And, the bank is backed up, theline is backed up. And, that’s not a pleasantexperience, standing in line at the bank. Butit was pleasant by the time [Brooks] gotdone.”

“He [said] to a woman, a young woman, ‘Ibet I can get you to sing.’ And, sure enough,the whole lobby was singing by the time weleft,” Lushia said.

“It happens,” laughed Brooks.“We actually do make a difference,” Tor-

torelli-Brooks said. “Music is such goodtherapy.”

To celebrate their 50 years of being char-tered and their commitment to the commu-nity, The Cumberland Bay Show Chorus per-formed for a nearly packed house at the E.Glenn Giltz auditorium in Hawkins Hall atthe State University of New York at Platts-burgh May 30.

With the theme “Come Celebrate theSound,” the chorus sang many barbershophits, sharing the stage with other nearbychoruses.

Joining the barbershoppers were “OurTown,” “The Green Mountain Chorus,”“Philharmonix,” “Champlain Valley SweetAdelines,” and the Plattsburgh High SchoolSelect Vocal Ensemble.

“It’s going to be like a reunion, old homeweek with everybody coming,” Tortorelli-Brooks said before the show.

The finale also had past barbershoppersfrom The Cumberland Bay Barbershoppersas well as throughout the chorus’ district.

“It’s a celebration,” she added.If interested in joining The Cumberland

Bay Show Chorus, they meet at the NorthCountry Alliance Church, 7 Northern Ave.,every Tuesday from 7-9:30 p.m. You may alsocall president Mike Deeb at 561-0545.

BEEKMANTOWN — It will be fivemonths this Saturday since Kate Duprey ofPlattsburgh lost the love of her life to com-plications from scleroderma. And, despitethe pain of her loss, she has found thestrength to help others suffering from thelife-threatening disease.

It was before her husband, Randy, passedaway in January the two discussed holdingan event to raise awareness of sclerodermaand raise money for the Scleroderma Foun-dation. Having lived with the disease sincebeing diagnosed in September 2005,Duprey’s husband was adamant both acause and cure needed to be found.

“Later on in his illness, he just kept say-ing he didn’t want anyone else to suffer andgo through this disease,” said Duprey.

After her husband’s death, Dupreypressed on with planning an event, moti-vated by the desire to heed her husband’swish.

“I don’t know where I’m finding the men-tality and the energy to be able to do this.He’s obviously helping me along,” Dupreysaid of her husband. “It’s something he def-initely wanted to do and after the commu-nity has done so much for us, we want to doour best to give back.”

The “First Annual Scleroderma Walk inMemory of Randy Duprey” was born fromDuprey’s determination, and involvedreaching out to the community once againfor support. The community showed theyhaven’t forgotten Randy, she said, and havegone above and beyond making donationstoward the walk and companion events —such as auctions, raffles and a bake sale —to be held the day of the walk Sunday, June14.

“The support we’ve gotten is just amaz-ing,” she said.

The Scleroderma Foundation itself haseven gotten behind the event, said Duprey,providing T-shirts to give participants ofwhat will be a three-mile walk/run event.The organization even went as far as han-dling some of the costs associated with host-ing the event, she added.

“They just jumped right on board,” saidDuprey.

Though the proceeds raised from the walkwill benefit the foundation, money raisedfrom the other fundraisers that day will staylocally to help others living with scleroder-ma.

The walk will begin next Sunday with reg-istration at Beekmantown Town Hall onSpellman Road at 9 a.m. The walk/run willstart from the town hall and continue to thetrack at Beekmantown Central School,where the remainder of the walk/run will beheld.

The cost to register is $20, with otherpledges gladly accepted, said Duprey. Thosewho cannot afford the registration fee willstill be allowed to participate, she added.Regardless, all who participate will receivea free T-shirt and bag.

Those raising $250 or more will receivedtwo stainless steel travel mugs.

Entertainment will be provided at thetown hall starting at approximately 11 a.m.,provided by bands AppleJack Country andShameless Strangers.

Continuing coverage

Local fire departments strained as suspicious fires continue, chief says

By Jeremiah S. [email protected]

MORRISONVILLE — Suspiciousbrush fires are continuing to occur inand around the hamlet of Morrisonville,trying the resources and patience of lo-cal firefighters.

According to Morrisonville VolunteerFire Department Fire Chief Francis E.Brousseau, there have been at least fivemore suspicious fires reported withinthe past few weeks, bringing the total tomore than two dozen since April 13.

“Last Monday, was by far our largest,”Brousseau said, referring to a May 25fire. “We had about 10 different firesburning within an area of approximate-ly 2 miles behind the [Clinton County

Fairgrounds].”Brousseau said several other depart-

ments were called in to assist with thefire. Firefighters were able to contain theblaze quickly, though were out lateagain, he added.

Fires have been keeping crews busyfor nearly two months in and around thehamlet, as well as in the town of Platts-burgh.

Since being reported in this newspa-per, Brousseau said he has received sev-eral calls from citizens reporting infor-mation that could be related to the fires.

“This only means people read whatwas put out and are paying attention,”he said.

Brousseau again asks the public to re-port any suspicious activity immediate-ly to authorities by calling 9-1-1.

ALTONA — The Clinton County HealthDepartment is taking its services on the roadin an effort to create healthier children.

The health department will host “KidsHappy Health Day” this Tuesday, June 9, atthe Altona Town Hall, 3124 Miner FarmRoad. The free event will be open to childrenup to 6 years old and their parents orguardians, offering lead screenings, heightand weight measurements and informationon dental health and nutrition.

Nancy Smith, the health department’shealth services coordinator, said this is thefirst time this kind of outreach program hasbeen offered in the county in several years.As more and more people are tighteningtheir financial belts these days, Smith saidthere’s concern some living in more ruralcommunities might be deterred from seek-

ing health services in Plattsburgh if it meansspending more money on gas to get back andforth to appointments.

“We’ve always centered our services inPlattsburgh because it has the largest popu-lation and a lot of people come here any-way,” said Smith. “We wanted to try this tosee if folks in smaller communities wouldfind this convenient.”

The outreach program is meant to be acompanion event to the health department’sannual health fair held each April in Platts-burgh, said Smith.

“We decided to take some of our bestparts of that and take it out to the rural com-munities,” she said. “It’s sort of a safety netto make sure anybody who’s new to the areaor might not know how to get connected forsome of these services will have a chance tofind out about them.”

This Tuesday’s event, which will be heldfrom 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., will also include in-formation for parents about vaccinations,offer child identification cards, and host astory time Smith said will serve a purposeother than entertaining.

“[The story time] will help with language

development and really engage children inactive participating in reading,” said Smith.

The movements and actions that will beplayed out when stories are read will alsohelp the young children in their develop-ment of motor skills, she added. The idea isto do all of this in an atmosphere that’s“inviting and engaging for children.”

“We won’t be dressed in clown suits oranything,” Smith said with a laugh, “but,we’re going to try to make it more enter-taining than going to your normal doctor ’soffice. It’ll be a little less formal.”

“The best part is there’s no charge for anyof these activities, so, hopefully, parents willuse it as a chance to learn more about whatthey can do to benefit their families,” sheadded.

Though the outreach program will be heldin Altona, Smith emphasized the event willbe open to everyone.

“We’re hoping that folks will come, andnot just from Altona. They can be from El-lenburg, Churubusco, Mooers Forks, Platts-burgh — anywhere in the county,” saidSmith. “We just felt [Altona] was kind of cen-tral in the Northern Tier and they were will-

ing to have us.”An outreach program will also be held in

September, Smith added. That clinic will beheld in the town of Peru at the former St. Au-gustine’s School on State Route 22, with theconcept of finding a centrally-located placein the southern half of the county.

The outcome of this Tuesday’s outreachclinic will determine how the health depart-ment tailors its Peru session this September,said Smith.

Those who are unable to attend this Tues-day’s outreach program may still visit thehealth department, located at 133 MargaretSt., Suite 117, Plattsburgh, where leadscreenings are offered once a month. The restof the services that will be offered in AltonaTuesday are offered there Monday throughFriday, said Smith.

“So, if someone can’t come because theirchild is ill, the car has broken down or some-thing else comes up, we’d be happy to makearrangements with them,” said Smith.

For more information about Kids HappyHealth Day, contact Smith at 565-4848 or vis-it the health department’s Web site,www.clintonhealth.org.

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

Dairy Month

SATURDAY June 6, 2009 www.Denpubs.com CLINTON TODAY / NORTH COUNTRYMAN - 13

We all know that dairy products are essential to good health. In the last year alone, studies have

proven dairy products to play a key role not only in preventing diseases like osteoporosis and cancer, but also in controlling blood pressure and weight.

Dairy farmers in America currently raise approximately 9,188,000 cows. Major breeds

include Ayshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey and Milking Shorthorn. Milking their cows at least twice a day, dairy farmers produce over 143

billion pounds of milk per year. This June, increase your dairy intake and take the

time to say thanks to the dairy farmers across America who work hard to provide us with the

products essential to good health.

Solution to last week’s puzzleSolution to last week’s puzzle

By Jon [email protected]

WASHINGTON — Congressman John M.McHugh, R-Pierrepont Manor, was tappedby President Barack Obama for the cabinetlevel Secretary of the Army vacancy June 2.If confirmed, McHugh would not only addanother member of the GOP to the Democ-ratic President’s cabinet, but would also re-sult in a vacancy in yet an-other upstate congressionalseat.

McHugh is the ranking Re-publican on the HouseArmed Services Committeeand represents New York’s23rd Congressional Districtwhich includes most of theAdirondack region includingall or parts of Clinton, Essex,Franklin, Hamilton and St.Lawrence counties.

His district includes the city of Platts-burgh, as well as communities surroundingthe Army installation, Fort Drum.

“It is his service over the past 16 years inCongress as a champion for our men andwomen in uniform that uniquely qualifieshim to lead our army,” Obama said at a WhiteHouse press conference June 2. “Just ask thesoldiers he has always fought for in his dis-trict at Fort Drum.”

If confirmed, McHugh would give BushAdministration hold-over Secretary of De-fense Robert Gates another moderate GOPvoice at the Pentagon.

“John is committed to keeping America’sArmy the best trained and the best suppliedfor many years,” Obama said. “John knowsthat we must reform the way the Pentagondoes business — as Secretary he will lead our

push to save taxpayers millions of dollars.”For his part, McHugh feels the job tran-

scends party politics.“Although we have our political differ-

ences, at the end of the day, Republican andDemocrats will work for the common good,”McHugh said. “I am nothing more than thelatest in a growing line of individuals of dif-fering political persuasions who have beenprovided by President Obama the opportu-

nity to head and answer tonew important and challeng-ing problems facing thiscountry.”

McHugh’s nominationcontinues the Obama Admin-istration’s practice of pluck-ing moderate Republicansfor cabinet-level seats.

Shortly after the news ofMcHugh’s nomination, areapoliticians praised the Presi-dent’s choice.

“As a senator and assemblywoman, I havehad the pleasure of working closely withCongressman John McHugh on many issuesimportant to the North Country,” said stateSen. Elizabeth O’C. Little, R-Queensbury.“He has always come through with helpwhenever I asked. I have valued our friend-ship as much as our professional relation-ship.

“Today’s news of his nomination as Secre-tary of the Army is very exciting,” Little con-tinued. “While I am going to miss havinghim represent and serve our region, I amlooking forward to seeing him serve our en-tire nation. His credentials and his leader-ship ability are superb and I have no doubtin his ability to do a tremendous job.”

McHugh will likely begin the Senate con-firmation process over the next week.

Westport youth R.J. King was chas-ing longbeards with his father,Rob, even before he could walk.

When Rob separated from his wife in themid-1990s, he became R.J.’s full-time care-giver. That meant if he wanted to hunt, R.J.would be along in tow.

And, Rob wasn’t about to give up thewoods.

“I would carry him in a backpack carrier,”Rob recalled. “He learned a lot about thewoods at a very young age.”

So, it was only fitting R.J. carried on thefamily tradition by bagging his first Tom dur-ing opening weekend of the spring turkeyseason — with his dad at the call.

“It felt awesome,” 12-year-old R.J. said. “The bird lookedhuge on the ground.”

And, indeed it wasn’t small. The turkey weighed 28pounds, had a 10-and-one-half-inch beard and one-inchspurs. A trophy by any turkey hunter ’s standard.

R.J. took the bird early in the morning May 3. It was awarmer than average day for early spring, R.J. recalled, ashe and Rob set up and began using a crow call to entice ananswer.

After awhile, the duo decided to move. The next locationwould prove key as Rob expertly lured the big Tom to with-in a few yards of his decoys with a hen call and R.J. droppedhim at 10 yards.

“When he answered, he was a lot closer than we expect-ed,” R.J. said. “He was probably only 30 or 40 yards out, anddad had him to me in less than 5 minutes.”

The entire hunt was over by 6:45 a.m.The following weekend, Rob repeated the process, calling

in another Tom and 14-year-old Cooper Sayward had hisfirst longbeard as well. Cooper ’s bird weighed 20 pounds,

had three-quarter-inch spurs and a 10-inchbeard.

For Rob, the satisfaction lies in passing onhis love of the hunt.

“R.J. was so happy when he got the birdthat he just kept hugging me. I love when akid gets a chance to do this stuff.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

E-town fishing derby resultsThe Elizabethtown Memorial Day fishing

derby was again a big hit as dozens ofyoungsters turned out to land the big one.The overall winner with the largest catch —a 17.5-inch rainbow trout — was 9-year-old
