New village ordinanceregarding dog control

By Jeremiah S. Papineaujeremiah@denpubs.com

ROUSES POINT — The village ofRouses Point has a new dog control or-dinance and it’s one village officialshope will curb potential issues.

The village board of trustees ap-proved Local Law No. 3 for 2009 duringtheir regular board meeting July 20. Thelaw was approved 3-0, with a motionfrom Trustee Brian B. Jefferson and sec-ond from Trustee John L. Cooper.Trustees Jean L. Birtz and Francis J. Bak-er were absent.

According to the ordinance, dogsmust be on a leash when off their own-er ’s property and are prohibited fromcausing damage to “any vegetables,lawns, flowers, garden beds or otherproperty” not belonging to their owner.Also, dogs are not allowed to “chase,jump upon or at, or otherwise harassany person” or “habitually chase, runalongside of or bark at motor vehicles.”

The law also addresses noise, pro-hibiting dogs from engaging in “habitu-al loud howling, barking, crying orwhining” or “habitually disturb thecomfort or repose of any person other

than the owner of such dog.”Under the law, female dogs are also

prohibited from leaving the owner ’spremises “when in heat.” The law alsostates it will be illegal for all dogs todefecate or urinate on public propertyor property other than that of the owner.

Dog owners found in violation of theordinance will be issued appearancetickets for village court, and, if convict-ed, face a $150 fine for the first offenseand $250 for each offense thereafter. Thefine is raised from $25 for a first offense,$50 for a second offense, and $100 foreach offense thereafter.

Mayor George A. Rivers, who votedfor the new law, said the number of peo-ple who scoffed the previous ordinanceled to its revision.

“The fine was so small before, somepeople would ignore it or pay it andcomment that it wasn’t a big deal. Weneeded to make the penalties a littlestiffer,” said Rivers. “And, the law be-fore was pretty vague. This one hasmore teeth.”

The complete text of the new local lawis available at the village clerk’s office,139 Lake St., Monday through Friday,7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

CHAMPLAIN — TheTown of Champlain Quadri-centennial Committee ispreparing for some upcom-ing celebrations that willhonor the man for whomtheir town is named.

St. Mary’s Church, locatedon Church Street in the vil-lage of Champlain, will holda special Mass next Sunday,Aug. 2, which will honor French explorer Samuelde Champlain. The ceremony will begin at 10:30a.m., and be officiated by the Rev. MarcelRainville from St. Michael’s College, Colchester,Vt. Joining him in the celebration will be the Rev.Terry Lavalley, a native of Mooers who serves asinterim administrator of the Roman CatholicDiocese of Ogdensburg; the Rev. James Delbel,pastor of St. Mary's Church; and the Rev. DeanBechard, a native of Coopersville.

Celine R. Paquette, vice chairperson of the

Hudson-Fulton-ChamplainQuadricentennial Commis-sion and a member of thetown Quadricentennial com-mittee, said the Mass will beopen to people of all faithsand conducted in both Eng-lish and French, in honor ofSamuel de Champlain.

“Champlain was a very re-ligious man,” explained Pa-quette. “On the monument inChamplain, one can read ‘Hevalued the salvation of a soul

more than the conquest of a kingdom.’”The monument of which Paquette spoke,

which recognizes the explorer, is located on thechurch grounds and will be rededicated follow-ing the Mass. The rededication will be similar toa ceremony held in 1959 in honor of the 350th an-niversary of Champlain's arrival on Lake Cham-plain.

In addition, the committee will place a wreathat the tomb of the Rev. Francis X. Chagnon, whoserved as pastor of St. Mary's for 33 years.

Chagnon died in 1911 and was laid to rest nearthe Champlain monument.

“[Chagnon], along with Louis-Camille La-Fontaine, was instrumental in the erection of themonument. It is time to tell his story and to hon-or him,” said Paquette.

The committee will then proceed down thestreet to St. Mary's Cemetery where a wreath willalso be placed at LaFontaine’s grave. LaFontainewas a member of the New York State Tercente-nary Commission, celebrating the 300th an-niversary of Samuel de Champlain’s arrival.

“V“VACAACATION”TION”

Windows shortcuts are handy ways to performroutine tasks. This week, we look at a few fa-vorites.

Across the top of most keyboards are function keys labeledF1, F2, etc. Many users know tapping F1 opens the “Help”function but how many know F2 allows faster renaming ofa file or folder? Select the item to be renamed and tap on F2to use it. Another handy function key is F5 which will re-fresh the currently open window. Ebay shoppers coming toan end of an auction will find tapping on F5 to refresh thepage much simpler than other ways.

The Windows Key, between the Ctrl and Alt keys on theleft of the space bar, opens the Start menu, which is then eas-ily navigated with the arrow keys. Once the destination pro-gram or file is reached tap on Enter to open it. If the key-board is missing, the Windows key use the combination ofCtrl+Esc (hold down Ctrl and tap once on the Esc key).

Leaving the PC for a while? The Windows key+L quicklylocks the system while away. Disliking the usual method ofshutting down a Windows XP system, I maintain a desktopshutdown that easily shuts down the system. Create theshortcut by right-clicking a blank area on the desktop andselecting “New”, “shortcut.”

Into the “Type the location of the item” box, enter:%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 15 -c “SHUT-

DOWN IN 15 SECONDS”and click next.

Then, give it a name like“shutdown.exe” and clickfinish.

Double-click the shortcutand the system will shutdown in 15 seconds (whichcan be modified to any valuedesired).

Mind change? Create an-other shortcut that abortsshutdown by repeating theabove steps — this time en-ter:

%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe –a and give it a dif-ferent name.

“B“BAHAMASAHAMAS””

Tasha Langley, Plattsburgh

“B“BEACHEACH”” “O“OCEANCEAN””Trisha Kline, Plattsburgh

Last week, I intro-duced you to theconcept of stockpil-

ing groceries and spilled thebeans on what’s hiding in mybasement: a small-scale “gro-cery store” at home. Likemany people, I’m always onthe lookout for great deals.But unlike the typical shop-per, I think nothing of buying5, 10 or perhaps even 15 of anitem when it is on sale.

To really save money at thegrocery store, shoppers needto break the habit of buyingwhat they need each weekand instead look beyond thecurrent week’s needs. Ifshampoo is on sale for $2 andyou have six $1.50 coupons,how many bottles shouldyou buy? Six! While youmight only need one bottlenow, shampoo is an excellentitem to stockpile. It has along shelf life and is easy tostore. Six bottles of shampoowill probably last yourhousehold the better portionof a year. At 50 cents each, avery low price, they’re agreat deal.

What if you decided to buyjust two bottles? Not onlywould you miss out on theopportunity to save in thelong run on this item, but youalso would essentially bethrowing money away in theform of the four coupons youchose not to use. Thinkahead: after you use up yoursecond bottle of shampoo,what will happen? You’llhead to the store when youneed more shampoo. Thechance is slim that it will beat its lowest sale price on theday you need to buy it. Yournext bottle of shampoo maycost you $3.50 when it couldhave cost just 50 cents. And,instead of simply going toyour stockpile and “shop-ping at home” for the nextbottle, you might also have tomake a special trip to thestore.

While we’ll always need togo to the store for fresh pro-duce, dairy and bread, alarge portion of the grocerieswe buy are easily stockpiledfor later. Boxed foods, snackfoods, canned foods and bot-tled beverages all store easi-ly and have expiration datesalmost a year out from thetime of purchase. Personalcare products – such as sham-poo, toothpaste, deodorantand shaving cream – have aneven longer shelf life. Anddon’t forget householdcleaners and paper products,both of which can be storedindefinitely.

You don’t have to devote aspecial area of your house tostockpiling. And you don’tneed to stockpile on a largescale. If toothpaste is on sale,buy several tubes and storethem under the sink. If trashbags and paper towels are onsale, store them in the garageon a shelf. I enjoy having acorner of my basement de-voted to my pantry, but youcan stockpile wherever youhave the space.

A friend of mine once con-fessed she stored cereal box-es in her son’s bedroom clos-et once when it went on sale.She purchased 15 boxes, gotthem home and realizedthere wasn’t room in thekitchen! But again, what’sthe harm? A little cereal inthe closet never hurt any-body. And she paid less than25 cents per box during thatsale, so buying in quantitymade sense.

And remember, too, thatwhile your stockpile grows,

it’s also constantly in rota-tion. Old things come off theshelves as quickly as you addnew items, just as they do atthe regular grocery store. Atone time I had 40 boxes ofgranola bars in my basementpantry, which elicited lots ofjokes and comments fromfriends. But what they don’trealize is that my children arequite aware of Mom’s homepantry and they run down-stairs and help themselveswhenever they’d like asnack. So as the granola barsstart to disappear into hun-gry little mouths, Mom maybe bringing home cans ofsoup to take their place. Andmy stockpile continues to ro-tate and evolve.

There are two common diseasesthat get on tomatoes every year— early blight and septoria leaf

spot. These are troublesome and insome years they can really reduce youryield, but they’re something we can livewith.

Late blight is a different story. Thisfungus disease affects tomatoes and po-tatoes and is seen only rarely this farnorth. It doesn’t survive our winters soit either blows in or is carried in on in-fested plants. We haven’t seen lateblight in area since one summer in thelate 1990s.

Unfortunately, late blight is here now. We’re askinganyone growing tomatoes or potatoes to be on the look-out. As soon as you notice any large, brown patches onyour plant leaves or stems, please bring a sample to anyCornell Cooperative Extension office. Enclose it in aplastic bag and keep refrigerated if possible.

This disease affects tomatoes, potatoes. It spreadsvery rapidly and will quickly jump from one garden tothe neighbors. The brown patches produce lots of spores

that are blown by the wind and carriedby rain. If one gardener ignores the prob-lem and leaves their plants to die theycould become the source for a wide-spread infection. While a home gardencan lose a few tomato plants, our grow-ers with hundreds of plants will be se-verely affected by this disease.

Infested plants need to be removedfrom the garden in a plastic bag, don’t trycomposting them or leave them in a pile.

For more information about late blightvisit www.hort.cornell.edu/lateblight orcall our office for a fact sheet.

Thanks for keeping your eye out forthis disease as we try to minimize its impact.

Market Basket prices roseonly pennies in June to$95.70, up from $95.16 in

May, and only up 2 percent from $93.71last June.

The total for the 41 items included inthe Market Basket came from slight in-creases on produce, canned goods, andmeats and slight decreases in frozenfoods and miscellaneous. For the yearproduce, frozen foods, and cannedgoods increased and dairy and meatprices decreased.

Ten pounds of round white potatoesincreased sharply to $6.49 this monthafter falling to $5.66 last month, which was barelychanged from last year's price of $5.62. This drove anoverall increase in the produce category despite lowerprices on red Delicious apples, Dole bananas, carrotsand Iceberg lettuce.

Although many fresh produce items have fallen inprice due to summer availability, Green Giant cannedpeas continue to rise in price, up 49 percent from lastyear. Star Kist canned tuna is up 31 percent from lastyear's price.

With grilling season in full swing, the prices on mostcuts of meat were up. The biggest bargain was on chucksteak which was 9 percent lower than in May. Priceswere up on ground chuck, bottom round roast, sirloinsteak and whole frying chickens.

Drink prices were down on tea bags and unchanged

on store brand cola, coffee and Budweis-er beer.

In breads, cereals and grains aisle,prices were stable.

Frozen food prices were down overall,lead by a 75 cent drop in the price perpound for frozen haddock fillets, to$6.74. Prices were also down on frozengreen beans and ice cream.

In the dairy department, prices fell onevery item except sliced Americancheese. Dairy prices are still down 8 per-cent for the year.

Seasonal reminderLocal strwberries are on the stands and sweet and

juicy! Local corn will be ready the end of July or earlyAugust due to so much rain in June. The blueberry sea-son goes into August. Watermelon, cantaloupe andhoneydew melons are in season. Plums, apricots,peaches and nectarines will be at full peak in July andAugust.

The Market Basket is a monthly report based on a surveyof 41 food items commonly purchased by consumers. TheSUNY Plattsburgh Office of Institutional Research collectsdata for the report from four major supermarkets in thePlattsburgh area. The report is then compiled as a communi-ty service sponsored by the Technical Assistance Center andthe SUNY Plattsburgh Office of Institutional Advancement.

The Red Cross should be proudLast Friday, July 17, our family had the distinct pleasure of meet-

ing Anne “Extraordinaire,” an employee of the American Red CrossNorthern Chapter. Representing this life-saving organization, Anneintroduced and welcomed our 93-year-old mother to their Life Lineprogram that enables elderly people assistance with just the pushof a button.

Let us first say the American Red Cross should hold their headshigh in regards to the professionalism and sincere compassion exe-cuted by this lovely, dedicated “Florence Nightingale!” Not only didshe calm the heart of an anxious 93-year-old mother about the im-portance and value of this program, she also made us, the family,gratified knowing the decision to obtain Life Line was the correctone.

We, the younger Parker family, wish to thank Anne and the Amer-ican Red Cross Northern Chapter for their dynamic skills as a leaderin the community assisting the elderly in Clinton and Essex coun-ties in living their lives to the fullest with Life Line. Anne certainlytakes her job seriously and is dedicated to making life simpler byallowing her potential clients the comfort of obtaining security andsafety in many facets of life including this wonderful program LifeLine. She expressed compassion to our mother who was facing a newlife experience with fear and uncertainty. Anne made everything OKand not only did she warm the heart of our mom, but she warmedour hearts as well.

Thank you Anne and thank you American Red Cross for makingthis program available to keep our moms and dads all over the coun-ties safe and secure. We applaud your gifts of compassion and giv-ing. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Electric power’s highway Today, a steady, moderately brisk, nonthreatening, breeze bends

leafy trees and pulls flags straight, all over the 288 megawatt windfarm. Most turbines run, excepting clusters. Why don’t all run?

Though raw wind does always vary, large turbines’ design ex-ports 100 percent rated output or nothing, unless deliberately shutdown. Outside those states, performance doesn’t vary.

Unless involving shared components, breakdowns seldom clus-ter.

A high level source explained: at times, the NY Power Authoritydemands they harvest less energy. Turning, he walked off, offeringonly “A lot of things aren’t logical.”

Does wind accumulate radioactive wastes, potentially leakingthem? Spue out smoke? Emit climate-warming CO2? ... Dioxin? No.

Isn’t it preferred, adding no fuel costs to our utility bills? Yes.For preventive maintenance or unexpected breakdowns, power

grids have always needed “spinning reserve,” regardless of source(“Wind, Windpower, and Open Space”; Charles Komanoff; OrionMagazine; Sept.-Oct, 2006). When sufficient, its backup safeguardsagainst region-wide blackouts. More spinning reserve is, and al-ways has been, welcomed.

Hasn’t it?Has this grid always limited its energy contributors? No. But it

does where long distance transmission capacity is too scarce. For ex-ample: Massena’s hydro also has free “fuel,” so, if it shares trans-mission lines with wind, no savings would be gained by preferringeither.

Though NY state’s declared policy backs big wind, as it should,we need more long distance capacity for wind’s added power.

To save forest’s valuable roles: including wildlife habitat, CO2 ab-sorption, scenic beauty, and timber among them, capacity might beadded without clearing additional routes. Maybe upgrading exist-ing ones to higher voltages can be sufficient, or even widening aroute we already have. We must develop enough capacity to bringus this increased clean power though.

Neglecting available, developed, minimally polluting energy isecologically poor judgement. It’s also economically unsound.

David E. ManwellBeekmantown

“We have cleaned his gravestone as well as the small-er markers near his stone,” said Paquette.

Knights of Columbus Council 3225 will host a specialdinner following the ceremonies at 1 p.m., with the pub-lic invited free of charge.

“This coming together as a community with a reli-gious ceremony with historical significance, with foodand good cheer will promote our community spirit,”said Paquette.

The following weekend, that community spirit willcontinue as the committee hosts a Community Day Sat-urday, Aug. 8. The event will begin at 10 a.m., with mu-

sical performances at the village’s River Park. The day’sevents will also consist of storytelling, a petting zoo,antique car rides, an antique tractor display and kayakand canoe races, among other activities.

The activities and food during Community Day willbe offered free of charge.

The day will also be a special opportunity to receivea special stamp cancellation from the U.S. Postal Ser-vice. Local artist Joseph Grimshaw was commissionedto design the cancellation which depicts Samuel deChamplain with his astrolabe, the navigational devicehe used in his exploration 400 years ago.

LUTZ, Fla. — Four monthsago, John Sparks’ lifechanged dramatically. It wasa change that nearly costhim his life.

According to familyfriend Colleen Trudeau ofSaranac, the Tupper Lake na-tive and former Plattsburghresident was in Californiawhen he was accosted by aman March 18. The man wasallegedly intoxicated whenhe began making commentsabout Sparks’ sideburns —comments which Sparkssimply shrugged off,Trudeau explained.

The man later confrontedSparks again, this time hit-ting him over the head andkicking his head into theedge of a curb, said Trudeau.

“The guy was pretty welldrunk,” Trudeau said. “Imean, he basically tried tokill him over his sideburns.”

Though the man was ar-rested, Sparks suffered se-vere brain trauma and wasin a coma for more than twoweeks, explained Trudeau.While in the coma, Sparksalso suffered a stroke, which

paralyzed his entire leftside.

“Everything that couldhappen to this poor guy hashappened to him,” she said.

However, Trudeau said inrecent weeks, Sparks is onthe mend. He now has a met-al plate in his skull and isable to walk with assistancefrom a crutch. His short-term memory is flawed, sheadded, and doctors havesaid it could take as much astwo years for the 34-year-old’s brain to recover fromthe trauma it endured.

“But, he’s been doing a lit-tle better every day,” saidTrudeau. “He’s alive, he’swalking, he’s talking. He’sdoing 120 percent better.”

“We didn’t even know ifhe’d do this well,” she ad-mitted. “But, he won’t giveup.”

Sparks is now stayingwith his parents in Florida ashe undergoes routine physi-cal therapy at a nearby reha-bilitation center.

As Sparks has no medicalinsurance, Trudeau has or-ganized a benefit in his hon-or this Sunday, July 26, atAmerican Legion Post 1619,219 Rand Hill Road, in WestPlattsburgh. The benefit will

consist of a motorcycle ridetaking off at noon and enter-tainment by bands from 2-4p.m. and 5-7 p.m. The eventwill also include a Chineseauction, raffles, 50/50 draw-ings and refreshments forpurchase.

Proceeds raised from theevent will help with costs as-sociated with Sparks’ recov-ery.

A 2008 Harley DavidsonV-Rod motorcycle will alsobe raffled off, with 1,000tickets being sold at $30each. Already, 700 ticketshave been sold.

The amount of tickets soldis a sign of the community’ssupport for Sparks, saidTrudeau.

“Everybody — the wholecommunity — has been justfantastic,” she said.

For more information or tomake a donation toward thisSunday’s event, contactTrudeau at 293-1375 or 566-6600.

Those wishing to sendcards wishing Sparks wellmay do so in care of him toSparks Ranch, 1027 WildroseDrive, Lutz Fla. 33549.

Friends, family rallying support for John Sparks

John Sparks, formerly of Tupper Lake and Plattsburgh, was se-verely beaten four months ago while in California. Friends and fam-ily are hosting a benefit for him this Sunday, July 26, at AmericanLegion Post 1619 in West Plattsburgh.

The “Kickball Challenge for Special Kids”will be held next Saturday, Aug. 1, at the EastMorrisonville Recreation Park on BullisRoad. The “fun, rule-modified game of kick-ball” will be geared toward children whoface “mental, social or physical challenges intheir lives,” according to recreation depart-ment program coordinator Janet Sosnicki.

The event came about after a parent in-quired last year if the town offered any ac-tivities specifically for children with dis-abilities.

“At the time we didn’t,” said Sosnicki.Though the recreation department’s pro-

grams were adaptable for those with dis-abilities, the question sparked the interest inthe town doing more. With that, the kickballchallenge was born.

“The difference between this program[and other town programs] is that we willmake modifications to the activity whilestill making the child feel comfortable par-ticipating,” explained Sosnicki. “Last year,

we tried to hold this event, but I don’t thinkwe got the word out early enough about it.”

That’s changed this year, said Sosnicki,who has reached our to organizations likethe Clinton County Advocacy and ResourceCenter and Sunmount Developmental Dis-abilities Services.

Sosnicki said she and rest of the recreationdepartment staff are looking forward to theevent.

“I have never done any programming likethis and I am excited that I can now reach outto another subpopulation of the communi-ty,” she said.

The Kickball Challenge for Special Kidswill be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and willbe open to any child who resides in the townof Plattsburgh, between 8-13 years old. Vol-unteers will be on-hand to assist the chil-dren.

Pre-registration is required and may bearranged by calling 562-6860 or visiting therecreation department at the PlattsburghTown Office Building, 151 Banker Road,Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and4 p.m.

PLATTSBURGH — When walkingthrough the main entrance of the Strand The-atre, there is no longer a fountain or postersof movie stars as there once was in the circa1924 building. However, work continues totransform the building to its original glory.

Though from the outside of the building itmay seem to not much has happened sincethe building was purchased by the NorthCountry Cultural Center for the Arts in 2004,but NCCCA board of trustees presidentLeigh C. Mundy said that is about to change.

The Strand Theatre received a $100,000matching grant to transform the marquisand façade of the building, hopefully put-ting some excitement into the communityabout what is being done on the inside of thebuilding.

“The city is facilitating a state grant for themarquis and the façade, but it is matching,”Mundy explained. “I have to spend it, givethem the [payment], then they give me themoney back. So, I have to have that moneyfirst. I think that would really energize thecommunity.”

Mundy has raised a quarter of the moneyneeded to finish the project, and believes ifeverybody puts in a little bit, the money canbe raised quickly.

“If 1,000 people gave me $100, that’s$100,000. Anybody can help,” she said. “Ifeverybody in Clinton County gave me $50,we could have this whole thing done. Thebig donors are very appreciated and wouldmake it very easy, but everyone can send ina little bit and we can get it done.”

Mundy also believes if everyone in thecommunity donates their small part, theywill feel more “ownership” towards thebuilding.

One of the ways people can help is tosponsor a theatre seat, which will have anengraved plaque to commemorate the spon-sor ’s support.

“[The seats] are different price points from

$500 to $150, so that’s a nice way for anyoneto help us out,” Mundy said.

Currently, work is focused on a new sprin-kler system, the front doors to the buildingand updating the bathrooms, which is cur-rently being paid for by a nearly $100,000grant from Rep. John M. McHugh, R-Pierre-pont Manor. Mundy said she has foundmany politicians responding positively tothe project and securing money for theStrand.

“[U.S. Sen.] Kirsten Gillibrand has beenvery helpful as well as [U.S. Sen. Charles]Schumer,” Mundy said. “Both of them knowthat this is a major key in jumpstarting therevitalization of Plattsburgh and attractingbusinesses, and tourists.”

State Sen. Elizabeth O’C. Little, R-Queensbury, and state AssemblywomanJanet L. Duprey, R-Peru, are also amongthose who Mundy said have been “veryhelpful.”

Mundy explained as more gets done, moreevents will be able to take place at the StrandTheatre, beginning with local events.

“As we progress and get more sophisti-cated, we’ll be able to have regional events,”she said. “Then, once it’s totally done, wecan have touring Broadway shows and mu-sic from everywhere.”

Currently, Mundy is waiting to hear abouta grant to replace the roof, so even morework can be completed in the interior of thebuilding.

“I’ve written a roof grant through NewYork State Council for the Arts,” she ex-plained. “Again, it’s a matching grant, butonce I get a new roof, then I don’t mindspending the money in here. We’ve patched,we’ve spent some money, we’re protected,but before we put $2 million in here, we wanta new roof.”

If interested in supporting the Strand The-atre Restoration Project, contact the NCCCAat 563-1604 or visit their Web site atwww.plattsburgharts.org.

“It’s a labor of love,” said Mundy. “There’sa lot of people doing a lot of things.”

Strand Theatre restoration work continuesPublic’s help sought to bring 1924building back to its original glory

The entrance to the Strand Theatre shows some of the detailed work going into restoring the 1924building back to its historic roots.

The community can show its support by sponsoring theatre seats like these, which will have an en-graved plaque to commemorate the sponsor’s support.

Kidsville News aims to provide antidote to children’s cases of ‘summer slide’ELIZABETHTOWN — Although they may be high aca-

demic achievers during the school year, children routinelyexperience learning losses during the summer and othertimes they’re not engaged in educational activities for ex-tended periods, experts say.

Commonly referred to as “summer slide,” this decline inlearning leaves many parents wondering how they can keeptheir children's minds actively engaged outside of the class-room.

Educators have offered suggestions, like getting childreninvolved in a summer arts program or delving into fun andeducational activities available at the local library.

Another way to keep children's minds active this summeris to be sure they read Kidsville News, according to Kidsvillepublisher Gayle Alexander.

“Encourage them to work the puzzles, read the educa-tional articles and draw a picture and send it to Truman,”she said.

Parents are urged to go to the Kidsville Web site atwww.kidsvillenews.com/northernny and click on the Par-ent/Teacher resource link, download the worksheets thatcorrespond to Kidsville News content and work with theirchildren to complete them, she said.

“There are lots of interesting articles that parents and their

children can share,” she said. The August edition will be dis-tributed in about a week, and readers can pick up a copy attheir local library or any of the businesses listed in theKidsville News promotional ad appearing in local DentonPublications newsweeklies.

“Kidsville News is the free, fun and educational monthlynewspaper for the children, parents, and teachers of theNorth Country, serving grades K-5,” Alexander said.

Those seeking a copy of Kidsville News may contact theirlocal school or call Denton offices at 873-6368, ext. 207.

Homeownership and green improvements will be more affordable for more Americans in 2009, thanks to several provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The changes will put more money in taxpayers’ pockets and al low homeowners to save thousands of dollars over the next several years. The First-time Homebuyer Credit has been extended and increased to qualifying individuals who p urchase a home in 2009 before Dec. 1. First-time homebuyers are defined as those who have never owned a principal residence or who have not owned a principal residence at any time during the three years prior to the date of purchase. For 2008 and 2009 tax returns, the credit is equal to 10 percent of the home purchase price, up to $8,000. It phases out when modified adjusted gross income is $75,000 for an individual or $150,000 for joint filers. Married taxpayers m ust both qualify as “first-time homebuyers” in order to receive the full credit. Taxpayers who claimed the full $8,000 First-time Homebuyer Credit on their 2008 federal return cannot claim it on their 2009 return. Those who have not claimed the credit should determine which year to use it based on your income. If you expect your income to decrease in 2009, it will likely make more sense to claim the credit on your 2009 return rather than your 2008 return. The only scenario in which the credit must be paid back is if the home ceases to be the owners’ principal residence within 36 months of the purchase date. Then the full credit amount must be repaid on the federal return for that tax year. The credit was initially created to be claimed after a home is purchased, but the Obama adminis tration is now allowing qualifying taxpayers to use it to cover certain purchasing costs. Homebuyers with mortgages backed by the Feder al Housing Administration may be eligible to receive advances on the credit, which could be used for closing costs, fees and addition al money for a down payment beyond the FHA’s required 3.5 percent minimum. Anyone can apply for an FHA-backed mortgage, regardless of income. However, there are limits on the size of the mortgage, and lenders may charge a fee for the credit. Some states are also offering similar programs. The new stimulus plan also includes tax credits equal to 30 percent, up to $1,500, for certain energy-efficient improvements to residential properties. The Residential Energy Property Credit can be claimed on 2009 and 2010 retur ns for improvements such as adding insulation or installing energy-efficient windows, doors, or heating and air conditioning sys tems. Bigger improvements involving alternative energy equipment such as solar hot water heaters, geothermal heat pumps and wind turbine s may be claimed on 2009 to 2016 returns under the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit. In addition to homeowner tax breaks, the 2009 act includes several new or increased credits and deductions. You can easily learn which provisions you may qualify for on your 2009 taxes by answering simple questions in TaxACT. Pre view versions of TaxACT 2009 software will be available in October, allowing you to plan ahead and get a head start on your retur n. When you’re ready to prepare and file your 2009 return, TaxACT will help you complete the correct forms for the credits in a matter o f minutes.

Protecting your home means you’re pitted in a constant struggle against the forces of nature. Produc ts and improvements that help you beat the weather are a smart investment. Look for “weather beater” products that are low maintenance or that provide solutions to harsh climates and moisture. Remember, weather damage can occur in any season, whether it’s from hot or freezing temperatures, driving rains or rising flood w aters.

First line of defense Water damage can happen to any home in an instant, ruining valuable electronics or priceless fa mily heirlooms. Even if you’re not in a flood zone, it is wise to invest in a main sump and battery backup pump. “When storms hit or snow melts off, the ground gets over saturated and the water can enter your home,” says Tony Ferrante, vice president sales and marketing, Wayne Water Systems. “Sump pump systems are easy to install and provide years of worry-free service. ” And, he advises, if you’re in a water-prone area, the sump pump should have a reliable battery backup pump, since power tends to go out during storms. For remo ving standing water in an emergency, such as pipes bursting or a sink or washing machine overflowing, utility pumps also come in handy. Many are portable and subme rsible. A complete basement protection system is a minor investment compared to the extensive damage wa ter can do to property and sentimental items that can’t be replaced. It is your first line of defense to protect your biggest investment: your home.

Decks that endure Moisture can be your deck’s worst enemy if it’s made of wood or has wood content. Decking and p orch materials are available that have the rich looks of wood, but are resistant to moisture, insects and freeze/thaw conditions. The home exterior experts at AZEK Bui lding Products say the latest innovations are cellular PVC deck boards and porch planks that stand up to weather with a durable, natural looking surface. “It resists any type of food stains you can dish out, including red wine and barbecue sauce,” s ays Brian Kincaid of AZEK Building Products. He cautions to always ask for a code report for any decking product, since many building permits require this.

An outdoor haven with classic looks Rain or hot sun does not have to limit your outdoor enjoyment. Enhance your entryway or backyar d with a beautifully crafted pergola featuring rain-resistant or waterproof canopies in a range of colors and designs to add comfort and protection from weather. For example, Walpole Woodworkers features pergolas in natural wood or low-maintenance cellular PVC to withstand the elements. With the added option of a manual or motor-driven retractable canopy, homeowners can enjoy shelter from rain, UV-rays and even add privacy with retractable side panels. The company offers free pergola or canopy design consultations at (800) 343-6948 or www.walpolewoodworkers.com.

Caulk goes above and beyond Water damage and energy leaks can threaten your home and drain your wallet. Caulk delivers more bang for the buck than expensive technologies like solar, according to a March 6, 2009 Wall Street Journal article. A third of the energy loss in homes could be stopped by simple caulking and insulating, the article says. One way to head off moisture or beat extreme temperatures is to buy the best caulk you can find . One example is LIFETIME Caulk from Red Devil, recognized for its durable “lifetime” seal with a warranty against weather damage for the life of the home. “Caulk is e asy to apply and can result in up to 20 percent savings on utility bills,” says Jason Ringling of Red Devil. Homeowners who want to protect their homes, increase resale value or enjoy low-maintenance exte riors can make sound product choices now, rather than pay big bucks to repair problems later. It is possible to stay one step ahead of Mother Nature.

The New York State Legislature, de-spite its recent malfunctions, hasmanaged to pass a new navigation

law. It slipped through with very little fan-fare or opposition and now awaits the gov-ernors signature.

The new boating law will require themandatory use of a personal floatation de-vice by anyone aboard a pleasure vessel of21 feet and under. A pleasure vessel is de-fined as essentially anything under 21 feet inlength that floats such as a canoe, rowboat,speedboat or even a raft.

Similar to the enforcement of New York’smuch maligned, mandatory seatbelt law, thenew navigation law is an effort by the state to force residentsto protect themselves. It has even been described as a “seatbelt law for boaters.”

The new law will take affect beginning on Nov. 1, 2009 andenforcement will continue until April 1, 2010 and every yearthere after. No longer can boaters simply stow a life jacketunder the seat. You can’t just sit on it, as with a safety cush-ion. A Coast Guard approved, Type III lifejacket must beworn.

Hunters will be afffectedHunters traveling by motorboat or canoe will be the ini-

tial user group most affected by the new law, although lateseason anglers should also take notice. The legislation is in-tended to target boaters that are on the water during the coldwater months.

Hunters will likely be the predominate, cold weatherboating crowd. Waterfowl hunters and deer hunters ac-cessing their camps via motorboat as well a kayakers, ca-noeists and other boaters will be affected.

The purpose of the law has been explained as an effort to“clarify legal requirements concerning the use of PFD’s anddecrease boating-related injuries and fatalities by requiring

the use of PFDs on small vessels during themonths of the year when water temperaturesare at their coldest.”

The rationale is explained as “over thepast decade there has been an upward trendin recreational boating fatalities. Nearly 20percent of these boating fatalities occurredduring the winter/early spring months in-volving small boats. In 90 percent of thesecases, the victim was not wearing a PFD.”

Indeed, research conducted by the USCoast Guard indicates that the cold waterdrowning are the major cause of hunter fa-talities. Each year, more hunters die fromdrowning and the effects of hypothermia

than from gunshot wounds, falls from a treestand or otheraccidents.

Furthermore, statistics reveal that the majority of capsiz-ing and falls overboard occur with boats less than 20 feet inlength.

Many drownings occur when a hunter, dressed in heavyclothes for the weather, stands in a boat to take a pee at seaand in water temperatures between 32 and 40 degrees, a per-son can a person can become unconscious in less than 15minutes.

Since fewer people are engaged in water-based activitiesduring the off-season, the likelihood of prompt rescues ef-forts occurring during the cold-water months is greatly re-duced.

Under cold water conditions, a person's best chance ofsurvival is to wear a securely fastened PFD which helps toconserve energy, prevents submersion, and allows moretime for rescue.

I expect there will be an increased demand for the newstyle of lightweight, inflatable PFD’s that can be worn un-der a jacket. These Coast Guard approved PFD’s are avail-able as either a vest or suspenders. Although they are light-weight and can fit under clothing, they will instantly inflate

when submerged in water.Hunters using boats should be familiar with their water

craft and understand its load capacity. Hunters often usesmaller, more portable boats such as jonboats, duckboats orcanoes which are more prone to capsizing.

As a user group, hunters often go out in the foul, fall andspring weather. Usually they are with other companions andsometimes with dogs or a heavy load of decoys or other gear.

Hunters should avoid crossing large, open bodies of wa-ter and never stand in a boat. In event of a capsize, stay withthe boat if you can’t get to shore.

As with any motor vehicle, whether a truck, ATV or asnowmobile, it is illegal to carry a loaded firearm or dis-charge a firearm in a boat while under power.

However, it is legal to shoot from a motorboat, rowboat orcanoe, even during the big game season, provided the mo-tor is not running.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

Lightweight, inflatable Type III PFD's, such as these Sospendersbrand worn by Chris Williamson of Jones Outfitters in Lake Placidwill be a popular choice with hunters when NYS begins enforcinga new Navigation Law requiring the mandatory use of a personalfloatation device (PFD) on Nov. 1, 2009.

New Navigation Law will target boaters,hunters and cold water paddlers

Casting for Recovery continues mission of helping breast cancer survivors

By Jeremiah S. Papineaujeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — When youthink about recovering from a boutwith breast cancer, fly-fishingmight not be the first form of ther-apy to come to mind. However, it’squite effective, said Janice Opal, aregistered nurse at CVPH MedicalCenter.

Opal would know, as she’s abreast cancer survivor involvedwith Casting for Recovery. Thenon-profit organization hosts re-treats that use the sport of fly-fish-ing “to promote physical, emotion-al and spiritual healing” for breastcancer survivors. The retreats, sheexplained, focus on how castingcan provide much-needed exercisefor arm muscles after the removalof lymph nodes — which happensfrequently in the treatment ofbreast cancer.

“Fly-fishing helps strengthenthe arm and lower the risk of lym-phodema,” said Opal, referring toa condition in which fluid buildsup in the arm, causing swellingand putting tissues at risk for in-fection.

Casting for Recovery, which hasbeen in existence since 1996, giveswomen the opportunity to spend aweekend learning how to fly-fishbut also gives them a chance to in-teract socially with other breast

cancer survivors and enjoy thehealing powers of the outdoors.

“It’s very nice because there’snot just fishing, there’s a sort ofspiritual healing that takes place,”said Opal. “There’s amazing bond-ing that happens.”

Opal participated in Casting forRecovery’s most recent New Yorkretreat in Boonville in Central NewYork. That retreat was the closestone for women in the North Coun-try until now. Planning is alreadyunder way to host the next NewYork Casting for Recovery retreatat Wiawaka, a women’s retreat cen-ter on Lake George, in August 2010.

“We’re really excited to bring aretreat closer to our area,” saidOpal.

However, the retreats are onlypossible through the generosity ofthe community, Opal noted.Women attend retreats at no costbut the actual cost per woman isabout $1,500. With roughly 12-14women attending a retreat, there issignificant fundraising and dona-tions needed. Fundraisers are heldto help provide the funds forwomen to attend, with the most re-cent being a kayak raffle.

For more information aboutCasting for Recovery, includinghow to help fund and register forthe 2010 Adirondack Retreat, con-tact Opal at 314-1289 or visitwww.castingforrecovery.org.
