PLATTSBURGH —Even with a loftierfundraising campaign,the United Way of theAdirondack Region Inc.met and exceeded its$750,000 goal.

The nonprofit organi-zation, which encompass-es Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, raised a total of $756,200,as announced by the campaign team Feb. 4.

“This is a momentous occasion,” said local United Way execu-tive director John C. Bernardi. “In many ways, the United Way isa barometer of the community. And, I’m pleased to report that thebarometric pressure of our region remains very high.”

Previously, for the last three years, the campaign goal was at$700,000, down from the 2007 goal of $750,000.

“It feels great,” said Bernardi of getting back to the goal from2007. “Obviously the economy has created a challenge for us forthe last three years or so. We face that challenge again as we wentinto this campaign, but at the same time we have added anothercounty to our service area. We felt that it was important, despitethe economy, that we raise the goal and we raise the expectationsof the region.”

Bernardi also took time during the meeting to not only an-nounce the total raised, but what that money means.

“We’re happy that we made the goal, but a number is just anumber,” he said. “What is more important is the impact that ourUnited Way is able to make throughout the region.”

“We anticipate that our network of health and human serviceorganizations, 36 partner agencies, will provide some level ofservice to over 80,000 people during 2011,” Bernardi added. “It’sour friends, it’s our neighbors, it’s our family members and be-cause of that we’re able to make a great impact.”

Kirk A. Stallsmith, chair of this year ’s campaign and generalmanager of the Plattsburgh Georgia-Pacific facility, is alreadylooking toward next year ’s campaign and beyond.

“I’d like to look at Franklin County and challenge employersand companies out in Franklin County to get actively involved in

2012 if you didn’t take the opportunity in the 2011 campaign,” he

said. “For those that perhaps did not get the opportunity or per-

haps things were a bit tight this year ... we’re going to come

knocking on your door ... to help keep that spirit alive.”

Stallsmith also sees a $1 million goal as a possibility at some

point.

“From a personal perspective, I really believe that with the gen-

erosity of this three-county region that down the road ... there is

absolutely no reason that the United Way of the Adirondack Re-

gion can’t achieve a million dollar campaign goal as an organiza-

tion,” he said. “Mainly due to the fact that we get that type of de-

mand from our member agencies for that kind of support. I be-

lieve the three-county region is capable of achieving that some-

time in the future.”

United Way meets,exceeds $750,000fundraising goal

“We’re happy that we madethe goal, but a number is justa number ... What is more im-portant is the impact that ourUnited Way is able to makethroughout the region.”

SARANAC — Jeanne Kelso liked working

for the Saranac Central School District so

much, she decided to stick around for oh,

only the past 50 years.

Kelso, a secretary from Plattsburgh with

the Saranac High School guidance office, will

retire Tuesday, Feb. 15, after a half-century of

service. She began her employment at the

high school in 1961, applying for the position

while working in the office of CVPH Medical

Center in Plattsburgh.

“I heard about the position. It was sort of

a new thing,” she recalled. “I think it was the

first time they had a high school guidance of-

fice.”

Kelso lived near the school, so a shorter

commute was one of the first benefits of

throwing her hat into the ring for the job.

“And, I liked the idea of the hours at the

school when I was raising my daughter,” she

said. “It was convenient.”

During her time with the school district,

Kelso said she’s seen more and more respon-

sibilities added to her plate as the district

grew.

“It’s just like any job. It just got bigger and

more involved over the years,” she said.

Some of her additional responsibilities are

ones Kelso decided to take upon herself, such

as holding the office of president of the local

Civil Service Employees Union for nearly 20

years and serving on its board of directors.

Kelso also chaired the statewide budget com-

mittee and still serves as a member of

statewide education committee, giving her

more to do than your run-of-the-mill secre-

tary.

“I kind of combined two careers,” she said.

At age 84, Kelso’s also seen many changes

while at Saranac, most notably in technolo-

gy, with the use of computers.

“That’s my biggest nemesis,” laughed Kel-

so. “I really don’t like computers.”

However, she has adapted. Well, sort of.

“You do what you have to do,” she added

with a chuckle.

Every memory from her time with the

school district has been a “good memory,”

Kelso said. She attributes that to her fellow

employees and the students who she’s

shared countless hours with over the past

five decades.

“I’ve always been fortunate I’ve had very

nice co-workers and faculty. That makes a big

difference,” she said, adding the students

will be among those she misses seeing most.

“The best part is when they come back and

they’ve had success. And, they do come back

to visit.”

Though her retirement won’t be official

until next week, Kelso already has plans for

what she’ll do to enjoy her next chapter in life

— or, more to the point, where she’ll enjoy it.

“I’ve already bought a condo in Myrtle

Beach,” she said. “So, in March or so I’ll be

moving down there. I’m sick of shoveling

snow.”

Kelso did, however, leave behind parting

words of advice for others wanting to follow

in her footsteps of having a long and fulfill-

ing career.

“If you like it, stay. If you don’t like it, do

something different,” she said.

Jeanne Kelso, who has been working in the Saranac High School guidance office for the past 50 years, willretire Tuesday, Feb. 15.

Kinney Drugs collecting medications

PLATTSBURGH — Kinney

Drugs will be holding a series

of medicine collection days

Feb. 26 and March 26.

The public can bring unused

or expired non-controlled pre-

scription medications and

over-the-counter medicines,

ointments, sprays, inhalers,

creams, medication vials and

pet medications to any Kinney

Drugs location during business

hours.

Illegal drugs, biohazardous

materials, needles, personal-

care products and household

hazardous wastes will not be

accepted.

Medications brought in must

remain in the original bottle or

package with the name of the

product clearly visible.

Exercise is the key to healthy aging.

Many older adults have heard of the

benefits of exercise but may be un-

sure of where to start. There are many bene-

fits of exercising as you age, and one of the

best side effects is keeping you young. The

more you move, the better you’ll feel. You

don’t have to do anything too vigorous, nor

is it recommended when just getting started

with an exercise program. Starting slow is

the way to go.

There are a few steps you should take be-

fore beginning an exercise program. First,

you should get medical clearance from your

health care provider especially if you have a

pre-existing condition. They will tell you if

there are any exercises you should avoid.You

will want to start an exercise program slow-

ly. You should not go “all out,” but instead

ease into a program a little bit at a time.

Make sure to take the time to learn proper

form and technique for all exercises to avoid

injuring yourself.Learn torecognize problems. Ifsomething doesn’t feelright, you should stop. Ex-ercise should never hurt ormake you feel bad.If you ex-perience pain, feel dizzy orshort of breath, experiencechest pain or pressure, orbreak out in a cold sweat,you should stop exercisingright away and contact yourphysician.

When developing a pro-gram you should rememberto keep it varied. It will break up boredomand help to improve your overall health andwellness. Try to include the following fourvariables into your weekly routine.

Cardio exercise increases the body’s abil-ity to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissuesand helps remove toxins over a sustained pe-riod of time. In seniors, it can help lessen fa-

tigue, promote independence,and improve endurance. Ex-amples of cardio exercise caninclude walking, cycling,swimming, hiking, tennis,dancing, etc.

Balance exercises help tomaintain or improve standingand stability under a varietyof conditions. It can help to re-duce the risk of falling. Trystanding on one foot whilebalancing and hold it for twoseconds before returning toyour start position and repeat-

ing on the other side. Hold onto a stable ob-ject if you need a little assistance.

Strength training helps to build musclestrength by using body weight, handweights, machines, or bands. It helps to pre-vent the loss of bone mass, and helps to im-prove balance. Incorporating strength train-ing into your weekly exercise routine can

help make day to day activities like opening

a jar or getting in and out of a car and lifting

objects easier.

Flexibility exercises challenge the joint’s

ability to move freely through a full range of

motion. It helps you to stay limber and im-

prove your range of motion for ordinary

physical activities such as tying your shoes,

washing your hair, or playing with your

grandchildren.

I have seen first hand in my clients the

benefits of exercising and healthy aging.

With a proper exercise program you will im-

prove your quality of life, feel stronger, and

more confident. Contact me for more infor-

mation about my Senior Fitness Class.

PLATTSBURGH — CVPH

Medical Center has purchased

Champlain Valley Open MRI

from Soteria Imaging Services

of Louisville, Ky. The facility, lo-

cated at 118 Consumer Square,

had closed for minor renova-

tions as per an agreement with

the New York State Department

of Health, and reopened Feb. 7

CVPH president and chief ex-

ecutive officer Stephens Mundy

said Soteria Imaging Services,

the parent company of Cham-

plain Valley Open MRI ap-

proached the medical center last

summer about acquiring its

Plattsburgh facility.

“We were pleased that Soteria

sought our involvement and are

most excited that we are able to

extend our diagnostic capabili-

ties by acquiring this resource,”

Mundy said.

Mundy indicated that plans

are to maintain the business at

its present location with few

changes.

“They have done an excellent

job running a business that has

had a high degree of customer

satisfaction from both patients

and referring physicians. Our

goal is to do our best to sustain

or increase that level of satisfac-

tion,” said Mundy.

He did note one advantage of

having Open MRI as part of

CVPH will be the immediate

electronic access to the images

by local physicians. The digital

images will become part of pa-

tients’ medical records.

As a nonprofit hospital,

CVPH had to file and be grant-

ed a certificate of need by the

New York State Department of

Health. The Department of

Health approved the purchase

pending repair work to the facil-

ity and that the name be

changed to CVPH Open MRI.

PLATTSBURGH — Annually, the Foundation of CVPH

Medical Center solicits funds from the CVPH family and

our community.

“We have nearly 80 community volunteers who contact

other business and community members to ask for sup-

port,” said Jerry Kelly, co-chair for the campaign. “This

tremendous team effort helped us exceed our goal by al-

most 50 percent, raising $170,000 for our programs.”

The dollars raised fund a variety of programs that ben-

efit the Medical Center and the North Country. Kerry Ha-

ley, executive director for the foundation explained com-

munity members are supporting the popular community

health lecture series, teaching self management tools to di-

abetics, providing educational dollars to CVPH staff mem-

bers and those pursuing a career in the healthcare field,

giving travel assistance for patients who need specialized

care, and many other programs that improve the health of

the community.

“Donations made to the foundation are invested right

back into health and wellness initiatives for North Coun-

try residents,” said Haley. “The generosity of our commu-

nity is heartwarming.”

Gifts to the foundation can be made on-line at

www.cvph.org/foundation, by calling 562-7169, or mail-

ing a check to Foundation of CVPH Medical Center, 75

Are the perch in LakeChamplain gettingbigger on average?

Just ask the alewives.While fisheries biologists

have their concerns about thelong-term repercussionsalewives will have onsalmonoids like lake trout andlandlocked salmon, in theshort term they are makingtheir presence known in theform of bigger sport fish.

Lake Champlain anglers arereporting larger fish on aver-age across the board, and long-time records forthe lake are being shattered every day.

In one recent outing, a buddy of mine land-ed a 14-inch perch that tipped the scale at apound and three-quarters. That same day,three of us easily had 50 perch of 10 inches orbetter.

Personally, I’ve never seen it any better —and the fish are eating it up.

The catalyst for the change is pretty appar-ent. Cleaning one football-sized perch yester-day I counted 15 alewives in its stomach. Andit probably burped up three or four more onthe ice.

When biologists first identified the non-na-tive Atlantic fish in Lake Champlain in 2008,many were quick to point out its potential neg-ative effects. They die off in great numberseach spring, turning local beaches into asmelly mess of rotting fish.

They also contain a chemical that biologistssay impacts the ability of salmonoids to repro-duce — which has had a negative effect in theGreat Lakes.

But the reality is no one can say with accu-racy what the long-term effect will be on theLake Champlain fishery. And no one will ar-gue that the short-term effect has been biggerfish.

Norm St. Pierre, who owns Norm’s Bait andTackle in Crown Point, said anglers are happi-ly reporting just that.

He said one perch fisherman brought inthree, five-gallon buckets filled with perch tosell, and the average weight of each was overone pound.

“There is no doubt they are having a hugeimpact on the lake,” St. Pierre said of thealewife population. “If people just wait a fewyears, I think you’ll see some absolutely hugefish.”

St. Pierre pointed to the state’s recent effortto stock brown trout in Lake Champlain andsaid they are growing at the rate of a fewpounds per year, now tipping the scale at 7 and8 pounds.

He said lake trout and salmon are prosper-ing as well. The average for each has gone upseveral pounds since alewives were intro-duced as a forage fish.

“The average salmon used to be just a fewpounds, now it is more like 5 to 7 pounds, and

now that they’ve broke the 18-pound mark with lakers, it isjust a matter of time beforesomeone lands a 20-pounder,”St. Pierre said.

At the same time, St. Pierrebelieves the smelt populationremains healthy. He saidMother Nature has forcedthem to adapt to live withalewives, forcing them deepin 100-200 feet of water wherealewives don’t like to go.

“People just don’t fish forsmelt there, which is why youdon’t see the type of catches

we used to have,” he said. “They are out in themain lake now, not in places where they weretraditionally caught.”

lications and an avid outdoorsman. He can be

Alewives, shown in the picture above, were first dis-covered in Lake Champlain in 2008. They are quicklymaking thier presence known, contributing to a rap-id growth spurt among sport fish who are now feed-ing heavily on the non-native herring-like fish.

Looking for an easy-to-use video con-verter, perhaps

something that will take aDVD vob file and convert itfor iPod or Zune use? Oneeasy-to-use and completelyfree application is called theHamster Free Video Convert-er.

Hamster converts nearlyany video format to anotherformat for almost any mod-ern device. Not only will itconvert to the other formats,it makes the conversion quite easy. Whatmakes it easy is how Hamster allows se-lection of the conversion format by sim-ply choosing the device the convertedvideo will be viewed on. The applicationworks with Windows and allows drag-n-drop operation within a wizard-like envi-ronment.

To get started, first visit them on theWeb at hamstersoft.com and downloadthe program. I usually download to thedesktop so I remember to delete the exe-cutable installation file afterward. Oncethe program is downloaded, double-clickit to start the installation. Follow throughthe steps and make the choices desired.The program is free but, like many freeprograms, it will want to do things like in-

stall a toolbar, changeyour search provider, oradd a desktop shortcutduring the installation.By taking the time to re-view each screen, userscan select desired choic-es and prevent most orall of those little annoy-ing system changes.

After installation,start the program andadd a video file to beconverted by eitherdragging the file or

clicking the big button on the number onetab and browsing to the file. Then selecttab two and either selecting the desiredformat or the device the converted videois intended to be used on. Select the thirdtab and click the convert button. After theconversion is complete connect the de-vice, transfer the converted video, andverify the conversion was successful.

Tech Talk By Ron Poland

According to Web sitesuite101.com, plan-ning and preparing

for caregiving before the re-sponsibilities begin can great-ly enhance the caregivingprocess for both caregiver andcare receiver. Before embark-ing on the caregiving journey,prospective caregivers shouldthoroughly think throughwhat it means to be a caregiv-er, including the personal sac-rifices and adjustments thatmay occur. It is also importantto have a good physician that is well-versedin aging-related concerns, to help guide andadvise the caregiver.

Prospective caregivers should researchthe medical conditions of the care receiversas well, gathering information on any relat-ed treatments, therapies, and long-termprognoses. All concerned family membersshould be included in the decision-makingprocess and the sooner the better. Primarycaregivers should not hesitate to ask otherfamily members for help, and should wel-come help when it is offered. Support groupsand educational workshops may be a greatresource for prospective caregivers — thiswill give them reliable information on whatit truly means to be a caregiver. Include thecare receivers in the planning process aswell.

It can be very reassuringfor caregivers to know theyare following the wishes ofthe older folks, especially ifthey are no longer able tocommunicate these wishes.Visit nursing homes, adulthomes, and assisted-livingfacilities, and bring the carereceivers along as well. It ismuch easier to make sounddecisions on living situa-tions before a medical crisisoccurs. Contact eldercareagencies to see what services

are available, what they cost, and what thequalifications are. Make sure wills are cur-rent. This may also be a good time to discussburial wishes. Finally, prospective care-givers need to make sure they include timefor favorite activities in any schedule. Thiswill help sustain the caregiver and will pre-vent caregiver burnout.

Taking a look at the governor’s plan to fix New York StateU

nfortunately, the snow we had onWednesday forced the lieutenantgovernor to postpone our get to-

gether until a later date.Over the years, and especially the last few

years, I’ve become very suspicious of ourelected officials and those who aspire tothose positions. So when they come knock-ing, I now tend to get worried about their in-tentions. Unfortunately, the older you get theless trusting you become … like parts of yourbody that start sagging or the hair that keepsfalling out. There’s not much you can do toprevent it. It’s just part of the aging process.

While they all say they are public servants,time and time again we discover, all too of-ten after the fact, that they were really self-serving servants.

Thus was the case recently when our As-sembly Representatives Sayword andDuprey opted to take early retirement oneday and resumed their elected duties thenext. Oh, I’m sure they had plenty of soundreasons for their actions. Bottom line, mystate is financially broke and their actionsdid more for them personally then it did forme and my fellow taxpayers. Tell me howtheir actions helped me and not themselves?

But back to the governor ’s email. He askedme (and I’m sure many others) to listen to his5-minute prepared speech asking for myhelp. My first thought was, “Here we goagain.” Times are really tough; I and all NewYorkers will need to ante up to help Cuomo

solve the problems he said hecould solve if we gave himthe opportunity to go to Al-bany as our chief executive.

As I debated with my fin-gers on the mouse, left but-ton I listen, right button Idelete … I thought to myself,“What do I have to lose?” It’sonly a recorded message,and I could practice givinghim a piece of my mind. Thegovernor started by thank-ing me for electing him, andI began reaching for the rightmouse button. Then he said three things Icould not disagree with:

1. We need to clean up Albany and restoreintegrity.

2. We need to get the economy running andcreate jobs.

3. We need to stop government overspend-ing and overtaxing.

He got my attention. I was hooked for the duration but still very

suspicious. He went on to say HE was goingto shake up the Albany establishment and,despite the attacks he knew would come hisway, HE tells me HE is up to the task at hand.Next he tells me New York state law automat-ically forces the budget to increase by 13 per-cent each year, which is six times the rate ofinflation. And what’s worst, we spend farmore than other states and get far less in re-

turn.The governor highlights

two examples:1. New York is No. 1 in edu-

cation spending yet rank 34thin performance.

2. New York is No. 1 in Med-icaid spending but ranks 21stin performance.

He blames these conditionson our state working for thespecial interest groups andlobbyists instead of workingfor the people. And what’s re-ally a surprise, he tells me this

isn’t happening on just one side of the aislebut equally affects both Democrats and Re-publicans.

While the people and businesses of NewYork have been forced to deal with the reali-ties of the economic collapse, our govern-ment hasn’t adjusted to these new economictimes.

As I wait for the shoe to drop, he tells mehe will cut his office’s budget by 10 percent,5 percent upon taking office and 5 percentmore in this coming budget. He intends toeliminate waste and duplication and cut thesize of government. And, while other gover-nors have given in to special interests, he as-sures me he will not be intimidated, will notback down and HE will get this job done.

So I’m thinking, Mr. Cuomo, what’s thisgoing to cost me?

“The real power of the governor lies withthe people of the state,” he said. “Democra-cy only works when the voice of the peoplerings strong and rings true. I need you to helpme.”

I am left with only one thought: ”Mr. Cuo-mo, get this job done!” You needn’t tell mehow pivotal these times are, nor how failureis not an option. We wasted far too muchmoney and time and are now out of both. Mr.Cuomo, you asked for my help, well here itis, I’m with you. I’m buying what you’re sell-ing! I want a leader to lead me through thesedifficult times. I’m with you, but boy you bet-ter not lead me down a primrose path. We areat a very serious time, and we’ve been letdown by so many before you who’ve prom-ised to solve these problems. I know youcan’t do it alone, but please understand I’vebought this sales pitch too many times beforeto not be very skeptical. How can I knowyou’ll give us a government as good as thepeople of this great state?

The answer is simple. What choice do wehave?! Mr. Cuomo, please be a true and hon-est leader who does what he says he will do.Be a servant of the people who elected you.Please don’t let us down, Mr. Cuomo. Will bewatching, rooting and helping as needed, butyou sir, are driving the boat.

Like most gardeners, I

started out growing

onions from sets,

which are small, immature

onion bulbs. They were easy

to grow, and I soon wanted to

expand my variety horizons,

but with onion sets, choices

were limited. So, I turned to

seeds. Growing from seed let

me pick varieties to suit my

own needs or whims — such

as the desire for an early-sea-

son sweet onion or a late-sea-

son keeper. Colors range

from dashing purple to pure white and nu-

merous shades of yellow. Shapes and sizes

vary, too, from the bottle-shaped “Italian

Torpedo” to the plump perfection of “Ailsa

Craig Exhibition.”

Most onion experts agree that, diversity

aside, onions grown from seed perform bet-

ter than those grown from sets. They are less

prone to disease, they store better, and they

bulb up faster.

Onions need a long growing season, so

place your seed orders early to get a head

start. On a cold winter night, it’s great fun to

browse through those seed catalogs piling

up beside the sofa and choose a few new va-

rieties.

When choosing seed, make sure to order

types suited to your climate and zone. Long-

day onions are best grown in the North,

where the summer daylight

period is longer. These

onions require at least 14

hours of light to bulb up. The

plant grows foliage in cool

spring weather, then forms

bulbs during warm summer

weather, triggered by the

long days.

To grow onions from seed,

simply sow seeds quarte-

inch deep in flats filled with

soilless potting mix in late

February. Onions germinate

in just a week at around 70°F.

Once the seeds have sprouted, I grow my

onions under fluorescent lights, one warm

white and one cool white bulb per fixture. I

keep the lights just above the leaves, adjust-

ing the lights as the plants grow.

I feed the seedlings with a water-soluble

fertilizer at half strength every other time I

water, being careful not to keep them too

wet. I also keep the onions trimmed to be

about 4 inches tall, so that the plants focus

on root growth. Finally, I thin them to one

every quarter-inch or so. By mid to late May,

the onions are ready to be planted outside!

End of the Military TimelineIt is with a heavy heart that I pass on this information to my fellow

re-enactors. On September 1, 2010 the Old Stone Barracks property and the “Green

Space” where we normally hold our re-enactments went up for sale. Asof December, the Old Stone Barracks property has been sold, and the“Green Space” is currently for sale. (It’s a reasonable $436,200, www.cd-crealestate.com, if anyone wants to buy it for the museum.)

Unfortunately, we can no longer depend on the “Green Space” to holdre-enactments on. So as of now the Plattsburgh Military Timeline hasbeen cancelled for 2011.

I’d like to send a huge thanks to everyone who supported the eventover the last four years! This was one of the premier events of the Bat-tle of Plattsburgh Association (www.battleofplattsburgh.org) and themain money maker for the museum in May. The Battle of PlattsburghAssociation then turned this around into exhibits and education oppor-tunities to keep the history we cherish so much alive.

The timeline was truly a grass roots event, without giant committeesand big funding it was started by re-enactors as a way to have some funand help the museum, and I’d like to thank again everyone who attend-ed the event!

There are still a lot of “what if ’s” out there and the possibility of start-ing up the event in the future once some of the dust has cleared and thequestions with the “Green Space” has been answered.

Also the Battle of Plattsburgh Association still has a slice of propertyripe for re-enacting opportunities, as demonstrated by our Pike’s Can-tonment Campout in December (yes we did sleep outside) so if you’reinterested in doing something on the museum grounds contact KristinaParker-Wingler at the Battle of Plattsburgh Association (manager@bat-tleofplattsburgh.org or 518-566-1814).

We had four great events and thanks for the memories everyone!Josh Wingler

Mooers Free Library needs helpI’m writing on behalf of the New York State Mooers Free Library

Board. We are a public library that is able to function mostly throughcharitable contributions, volunteers, and fundraisers. This year certainsources of income have been late in making monetary contributionswhich has drastically affected our yearly budget.

In the past year we have been trying different tactics to reach out tothe public and focus on their specific wants and needs. Our town israther small and our library is even smaller. However, we have beenmaking head way with all kinds of people and the community as awhole. We started using Lilly a therapy dog — where a child will comeinto the library and read for twenty minutes to her. This has been exem-plary at improving their reading skills. Kids generally feel more relaxedwith animals and Lilly is a great listener. We’ve also been holding com-puter training classes, WII interactive games, and many more differenttypes of training sessions. But we desperately need donations to stayafloat this coming year.

The following information is about the Mooers Free Library BenefitDay on February 19, 2011. Lawrence P. Gooley; organizer of North Coun-try Authors and the author of several books including, “A History of theAltona Flat Rock” and “Terror in the Adirondacks; the true story of se-rial killer Robert F. Garrow.” He will be accompanied by other local au-thors and they will be selling and signing their books and giving briefpresentations on topics about their writing.

We will also have Lilly the therapy dog with her owner Alex avail-able to meet and greet. There will be other books for sale with a widegenre; including adult and children’s and an afghan raffle. Donationswelcome!

Back in1972 with Nixon about to be re-elected and our adult lives justbeginning, it was hard to imagine we would be at this point. Ineach of our lives so much has undoubtedly happened. Many ofus are not just parents but grandparents. We have scattered tothe winds but many of us have stayed and we are all hopefullystill young at heart.

So much has changed, and fortunately we can connect mucheasier. However, there are still challenges to locating each andevery one of us. Not all of us have fallen under the spell of Face-

book. So we are putting out a clarion call through the traditional printmedia for any and all of us who read or hear of this to help our ad hoccommittee in assembling a solid mailing and contact list of all of us.

If each of you would contact one of the people listed below and shareyour contact information it would be greatly appreciated. From this listwe will be able to plan the event and send invitations. Even though itis a year away it is important for us to plan early so we are all includedand that the Reunion is a success.

Happy birthday to Louella Papin I cannot let February 11, 2011 pass without wishing a happy 100th

birthday to the late Louella Papin.Louella was the editor of the North Countryman in the 1960s through

1976. Her highly popular “Over the Back Fence” was a great throw-backto the days when newspapers shared such intimate local details as“Mary Smith was home from college this week, spending time with herfamily,” or “Bill and Sue Jones recently visited his brother Bob and hiswife, Becky, and their new baby girl in Albany. All are doing well.”

Louella helped brighten many a day during her lifetime, and her 100thbirthday should not go unrecognized ... although she would be very up-set for people to know how old she would be.

Champlain Bridge group seeks county supportBy Keith Lobdellkeith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — It’s

going to be a big party.

At least, that is the hope of

Lake Champlain Bridge

Coalition officials, who pre-

sented their preliminary

plans for an opening event to

celebrate the dedication of

the new bridge between

Crown Point and Chimney

Point to members of the Es-

sex County Board of Supervi-

sors Feb. 4.

“What we are looking for

is your support,” Karen Hen-

nessy of the coalition said,

adding that by support, she

was not referring to funds.

“We do not want to ask for

any taxpayer dollars as far as

looking for money from you,

but we do realize that for

events like we are looking at

we are going to need the help

of departments like the high-

way and the sheriffs to make

things work,” Hennessey

said.

Hennessey and Lorraine

Franklin went over the plans

for a two-day event that

would include an opening

ceremony combined with or

done separate of a dedica-

tion, closing ceremony with

fireworks, parade, music, re-

enactments, boat parade,

dances, concerts, boat rides,

bicycle tours, walking tour, a

foot race, an ecumenical

service and vendors.

“This is all being done on

a wing and a prayer,”

Franklin said. “We are going

to keep planning and do

what we can until we get a

date for when the bridge is

going to open. We hope that

we can organize an opening

ceremony around the ap-

proval of the bridge, but even

if we have to do something

small on a Tuesday, we will,

because we know that once

the bridge is done their not

going to wait for us to open

it.”

Hennessy said that the or-

ganization is hopeful to have

people and other items that

were also apart of the 1929

opening ceremonies for the

old bridge at the new cere-

monies.

“We have the Vermont

Statehouse float that was in

the original parade in 1929

that is just waiting to be in

the new parade,” Hennessy

said. “We are looking to find

people who were at the 1929

dedication and have them go

across the bridge in vintage

vehicles. There are a lot of or-

ganizations or people who

are out there just waiting to

be asked to come and be a

part of this.”

Franklin said that the

fundraising for the events

will be done through corpo-

rate and private sponsor-

ships, as well as product

branding.

“There are a lot of local

wineries and breweries that

will do special labels for

events like this,” Franklin

said. “We would also love to

ask Ben and Jerry’s to do a

flavor just for the event.”

Hennessey said that the

event will be a positive

change from when the na-

tional media last turned their

attention to the region when

the bridge was destroyed

that will focus on the

strengths of the local com-

munity.

“We are not looking for

vendors or businesses from

outside the area to bepart of

this because we want to keep

this just people from the re-

gion so we can show people

around the nation what we

have here,” Hennessey said.

The Lake Champlain

Bridge Coalition currently

can be found on Facebook

and is developing a Web site

to keep the public updated

on their plans.

“You are doing a wonder-

ful thing for the community

and we appreciate your ef-

forts and congratulate you

on what you have done so

far,” county chairman Randy

Douglas said.

TUPPER LAKE — Mark Moeller saysit really isn’t about him, or even hispeers.

Moeller, the owner/operator ofCBNA Insurance who was recentlynamed as the Citizen of the Year by theTupper Lake Chamber of Commerce,said he spends his time in several vol-unteer organizations trying to improvethe town he grew up in for the futuregenerations.

“I do this more for our kids,” Moellersaid. “I’m not worried about myself or

about my future. All I hope for is thatthrough what we do, the kids will havean opportunity to come back to wherethey grew up and be able to find mean-ingful employment.”

Moeller said when he was a teen, hefelt that there was no future for him inthe area, but soon learned that his heartwas with the community he loved.

“When I went to college, I neverthought I was going to return,” Moellersaid. “After my service in the military, Irealized how special this place was. Iwanted to be here and I wanted tohelp.”

Moeller is the oldest of nine children,who he said have all returned to their

roots and live in or around the TupperLake area.

“Tupper Lake has a long history ofvolunteerism, and it makes it a specialplace to live,” Moeller said. “There is astrong sense of volunteerism, and I amjust happy to be a part of that.”

Moeller said he never started to workwith local organizations in the quest toreceive awards or accolades, and that hehopes to help even more in the comingyears.

“Most folks will say that they arehumbled when something like this hap-pens, and I truly feel the same way,”Moeller said.

News of the WeekIn Clinton County

By Jeremiah S. Papineaujeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — Com-munity leaders had the op-portunity to get a detailedlook at what Gov. AndrewM. Cuomo has proposed inhis 2011-12 executive budg-et.

Lt. Gov. Robert J. Duffygave an overview of thebudget to an audience of lo-cal dignitaries and businessofficials at the West SideBallroom Feb. 7. Duffy saidthe governor ’s proposalwould help curb the “spend-ing addiction” seen in Al-bany over recent years and“bring fiscal sanity to stateoperations.”

The governor ’s plan alsoaims to “transform the statebudget process” by elimi-nating a $10 billion deficitwithout raising taxes or bor-rowing. According to Duffy, the plancalls for reducing the cost and size ofstate government, merging and consol-idating state agencies, and reducing ex-cess capacity in prisons, youth deten-tion centers and mental hygiene facili-ties.

“We have to recalibrate the spendingin the state. We have to change it andchange is very difficult,” said Duffy.

The governor ’s plan also looks at for-mulas previously used in Albany to cal-culate Medicaid and education spend-ing. A Medicaid redesign team willidentify initiatives to reduce state fund-ing of Medicaid by $2.85 billion duringthe 2011-12 fiscal year and by $4.6 bil-lion in 2012-13. The cost-cutting meas-ure could be done by modifying pro-gram requirements and limiting spend-ing growth to the 10-year rolling aver-age of the Consumer Price Index’s med-ical care component, Duffy said.

“So far, they’ve come up with about1,000 ideas that’s about looking forways to serve patients better, reducecosts, and increase quality,” Duffy saidof the Medicaid redesign team. “It’s re-ally looking at the system and trying toget everybody to the table and figurehow we can improve how we spend ourmoney, how we end up increasing theresults.”

Cuomo’s budget also calls for $19.4billion to be allotted for school aid dur-ing the 2011-12 school year — a 7.3 per-cent decrease over last year ’s budgeted$20.9 billion. The decrease in school aidfunding will have a minimal effect onschools, Duffy said, as the proposed re-duction represents only 2.9 percent oftotal operating expenditures estimatedto be made by school districts statewideduring the 2010-11 school year.

According to Duffy, bringing educa-tion spending in line could be complet-ed in five processes: a strategic use ofreserve funding, a reduction in admin-istrator compensation, wage freezes formanagement and teachers, increasingcontributions of education employeestoward healthcare plans and consoli-dating or sharing services.

“This is about trying to fund changesin districts, looking at efficiencies,ways to have consolidations andchanges that would save money andnot impact students,” he said, addingthe cuts should result in “no layoffs.”

The amount of overspending in Al-bany for education has also been invain, said Duffy, with much of the mon-ey budgeted getting “lost in the admin-istration quagmire.”

“We’re number one in spending foreducation but number 34 in results,” hesaid. “We should be number one in re-sults.”

Duffy said the money budgeted foreducation gets caught up in high ad-ministrative salaries, healthcare costsand other overhead he calls “built-inaccelerators, with the money getting“spent away from what impacts kids.”

“That’s why we’re 50th in business,34th in education, 21st in healthcare re-sults,” Duffy said of the state’s trackrecord for government spending. “It’snot aiding the graduation rates or suc-cess rates for our kids. It’s not aidingbetter patient healthcare. It’s going tooverhead ... It’s not going to the intend-ed purposes.”

Reining in government spending, inaddition to budgeting wiser in futureyears, will mean the difference betweenthe road to ruin and the road to recov-ery, said Duffy.

“We have to change. We have to put

the stake in the ground andstart somewhere,” he said.“And, I believe this budget isthe beginning of that.”

The governor ’s plan drewpraise from local leaders likeSylvie D. Nelson, executivedirector of the Saranac LakeArea Chamber of Commerce.

“I think the lieutenant gov-ernor presented somethingthat really made a lot ofsense,” said Nelson, whopraised Duffy and Cuomo fortheir emphasis on gettingvarious government agenciesto collaborate during thebudget-reduction process. “Itmakes much more sense be-cause you’ll have all the play-ers talking to each other,which, at this point, is not oc-curring.”

Plattsburgh Town Supervi-sor Bernard C. Bassett wasamong local lawmakers im-pressed by Duffy’s presenta-

tion.“The number one thing that grabbed

me is that he was here,” said Bassett. “Itsends a message to me that the gover-nor really wants to get out and help ex-plain something we all know that’s nec-essary.”

Bassett said one subject he wishedthe lieutenant governor would have ad-dressed during his visit was that of un-funded state mandates. Though Cuomosigned an executive order last month tocreate the Mandate Relief RedesignTeam — which will “review unfundedand underfunded mandates imposedby New York State government onschool districts, local governments, andother local taxing districts” — discus-sion of unfunded mandates was absentfrom the lieutenant governor ’s speech.

“We’ve got to look at the unfundedmandates. We’ve got to address them,”said Bassett.

Rouses Point Village Mayor GeorgeA. Rivers agreed.

“Every time I turn around, it’s thisregulation, that regulation, you’ve gotto do this, you’ve got to do that. And,there’s nothing to back it up,” saidRivers.

Regardless, Bassett said he knows thegovernor is “on the right track.”

“Communication will help us get thejob done,” he said. “I’m optimistic andI’m encouraged.”

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has

announced the nomination of Kenneth

Adams as president and chief executive of-

ficer of the Empire State Development Cor-

poration. Cuomo said the appointment is

part of his plan to change the leadership

structure of ESDC, separating the CEO and

chairperson functions.

“With Ken Adams as President and CEO,

the Empire State Development Corporation

will fuel New York-based innovation and

create jobs at home while helping to trans-

form the state into a world-class center for

business and new ideas,” Cuomo said. “As

I said in my State of the State address, we

need a strong voice to help say that New

York is ‘open for business.’ A fast growing

and forward-thinking economy begins with

changing the state’s business climate to at-

tract and maintain cutting-edge companies.

Ken is clearly the right person at the right

time for New York and I thank him for

agreeing to serve the people of the state. He

succeeds Dennis Mullen, who has been a

tireless advocate for business, marketing

and growth for our state and I thank him for

his dedication to New York.”

Adams has been president and CEO of

The Business Council of New York State, the

state’s leading business association, since

2006. Adams has led the organization in its

mission of creating “economic growth, good

jobs and strong communities across New

York State.” The Business Council repre-

sents nearly 2,500 member businesses,

chambers of commerce and professional and

trade associations, employing a total of

more than 1 million New Yorkers.

Prior to leading the Business Council,

Adams was president of the Brooklyn

Chamber of Commerce and director of the

MetroTech Business Improvement District

in downtown Brooklyn. He was also the

founding executive director of New York

Cares, New York City’s leading volunteer

organization, from 1988 to 1994.

Adams serves on the Empire State Stem

Cell Board, the Board of Directors of the

Brooklyn Community Foundation and the

Steering Committee of the Association for a

Better New York. He is vice-chair of the

Board of Directors of the Brooklyn Youth

Chorus Academy. He also serves on the City

University of New York Business Leader-

ship Council, the U.S. Chamber of Com-

merce Committee of 100 and the Council of

State Chambers.

Adams will also serve as commissioner of

the Department of Economic Development.

A chairperson for ESDC will also be chosen

who will bring a specific understanding of

the issues facing economic development in

Upstate New York.

In his new role, Adams will work closely

with Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy to implement Re-

gional Economic Development Councils

across the state. Adams was also recently

named to Cuomo’s Task Force on Mandate

Relief, tasked with finding ways to reduce

the costs of mandated programs, identify

mandates that are ineffective and outdated,

and determine how school districts and lo-

cal governments can have greater ability to

control expenses.

“New York is poised for great things with

the addition of Ken Adams to state govern-

ment,” said Kirk P. Gregg, executive vice

president and chief administrative officer

for Corning Inc. “He is a true professional

who will work diligently to achieve real re-

sults for struggling communities across

New York.”

PLATTSBURGH — A State Universi-

ty of New York at Plattsburgh profes-

sor of English has been named a Ful-

bright scholar and will spend his

spring semester teaching the multieth-

nic literatures of the United States to

students and faculty in Spain.

Dr. Jose Torres-Padilla will split his

time between two colleges in

Barcelona — the University of

Barcelona and the Autonomous Uni-

versity of Barcelona.

Barcelona is in Catalonia, a region

known for its distinctive nationalistic

identity, separate from the rest of

Spain. Torres-Padilla compares it to

Quebec in Canada, noting that its citi-

zens even speak their own language —

in this case, Catalan.

Torres-Padilla was drawn to the re-

gion, in part, because of its separate

identity. He noted that when Spanish

Military General and Head of State

Francisco Franco was in power — from

1939 until 1975 — he oppressed the re-

gion.

“The Catalonians were anti-Franco,

and he came down on them,” Torres-

Padilla said. “So, ever since he died,

they’ve been ‘in-your-face’ about their

desire for independence and autono-

my.”

Because of that history of marginal-

ization and struggle for autonomy,

Torres-Padilla is hopeful the multieth-

nic literatures of the United States —

of people who have been marginalized

here — will speak to the students in

Barcelona.

A Puerto-Rican himself, Torres-

Padilla continues to explore topics of

identity and marginalization in his

own writing. He is the author of “The

Family Terrorist and Other Stories”

and a number of culture-themed es-

says. He is also the co-editor of “Writ-

ing off the Hyphen: New Perspectives

on the Literature of the Puerto Rican

Diaspora.”

He is a founding editor of The

Saranac Review, SUNY Plattsburgh’s

literary magazine. He was also one of

the primary forces in putting together

the college’s relatively new bachelor

in writing arts program and has

worked with Dr. Tracie Church Guzzio

to enhance SUNY Plattsburgh’s offer-

ings in American literature through

the addition of multiethnic, African

American and Latino literature cours-

es.

He earned his bachelor ’s at Vassar

College, a Master of Fine Arts at Co-

lumbia University and both a master ’s

and a doctorate at the University of

Southern California.

PLATTSBURGH — DamagedGoods has a good thing going.The band started more than 10

years ago when Frank Fedele andKeith King were looking for gigsafter finishing up a run with theirband, “Geezer.” The two startedplaying under the moniker “Dam-aged Goods,” borrowing theirname from the 1995 Nils Lofgrenalbum, because it described theirmusical past, said Fedele.“I thought it fit as musicians, like

equipment, also get their share ofbangs, bruises, malfunctions anddings,” said Fedele.The two started playing locally

at places like the Great AdirondackSoup Company and Southgate inPlattsburgh before landing asteady job at the Ramada Inn inLake Placid.Fedele’s daughter, Laura, later

joined them on vocals, and thingsgrew from there.“Eventually, we started getting

gigs that required a rhythm sec-tion, so bassist Dave Fisher anddrummer Jeff Leferve wereadded,” said Fedele.

When Fisher left the band to pur-sue his hockey career, Walt Latourtook over on bass, bringing theband to the line up they have today,with more than 150 years of com-bined playing experience.“We know well over 200 songs

and love being able to do Led Zep-pelin, The Kinks, The Who, DavidBowie as well as other rock au-thors, acoustically,” said Fedele.

“Our music — electrically oracoustically — is a combination ofmusical jams/arrangements andvocal harmonies.” The number of musical influ-

ences the band has had is “too nu-merous to mention,” said Fedele. “When you have been playing

guitar for 50 years, you lose trackof all the great guitarists that youhave stole — I mean learned from

— over the years,” he said.Damaged Goods has played

throughout the North Country,with Romano’s Bowl in SaranacLake being considered their “homebase.” The band even had the op-portunity to play at the OlympicOval in Lake Placid during the 25thanniversary of the “Miracle onIce.”“It was a great honor but a diffi-

cult job as it was outdoors, in LakePlacid, in February and all in sub-zero temperature,” recalled Fedele. The band has also enjoyed play-

ing the Plattsburgh area eventhough the city’s downtown enter-tainment audience is mostly madeup of college students and youngerlocals, said Fedele, who can beharder to build a following with forthem.“Building a following isn’t just

about playing good music, it’smore like catching a wave,” saidFedele. “When your core audienceis in their thirties and forties, onefinds that they have families andjobs and don’t go out as frequentlyas they use to.”What makes the band stand out,

said Fedele, is the variety of songsthey can play.

“Our big song list and four vo-calists mean you’re not alwayshearing the same exact songs andthe lead vocalist is changing a lot,”he said. “Having Laura allows us todo some Carly Simon, Janis Joplinand Fleetwood Mac songs.”The band is also well-known in

the area for playing benefits, help-ing causes like those in the militaryand people facing personal chal-lenges like Brock Marvin, an Eliza-bethtown teenager who recentlyunderwent heart transplant sur-gery.“Our band members are suckers

for charity gigs,” said Fedele. “Wewere especially proud to do bene-fits for deserving people like [Mar-vin] and it is really uplifting to seehim doing well.”

(Editor’s Note: Damaged Goodswill be playing two performances thisFriday, Feb. 11. The band will play theGreat Adirondack Soup Company, 24Oak St., from 7:30 to 9 p.m. then Gilli-gan’s Getaway, 7160 State Route 9,from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. The bandwill continue with a performance Sat-urday, Feb. 12, at Romano’s Bowl inSaranac Lake and be back in Platts-burgh at Gilligan’s in March and 8Ball Billiards Café in May.)

Damaged Goods bringing the goods for last decade

(Editor's note: This is Part Oneof a five-part series on the currentstatus of the Visitor InterpretiveCenters (VICs), which were oper-ated by the Adirondack ParkAgency from 1989 to 2010.) PAUL SMITHS — Fresh

snow blanketed tree branchesin the forest, the sun glowed inthe blue sky, and temperatureshovered around 20 degrees. Skievent coordinators dream ofconditions like these, and Sat-urday, Jan. 29 had all the mak-ings for a day filled with fami-ly fun.Yet, as the Chili Ski Tasting

event got under way at the PaulSmiths VIC, everyone was a lit-tle uneasy.It was the same building, but

with a new owner. Paul Smith’sCollege officials didn’t knowwhat to expect, and, as theysearched for light switches andelectrical outlets in theirnewest building, they had onebig question on their minds:Would people come and enjoythemselves like they had for thepast decade of ski festivalswhen the Adirondack ParkAgency (APA) owned thebuilding?By early afternoon, their

question had been answered,and they breathed a collectivesigh of relief as dozens of fam-ilies did indeed come and enjoythemselves, eating chili andcake made by culinary arts stu-dents, skiing and snowshoeingon the vast trail systemgroomed the day before, andtaking sleigh rides with two ofthe college’s draft horses. Thesmiles were proof that peoplehad a good time, and the event—aimed at showing everyonethat the trails are still open tothe public — was deemed a suc-cess.While this was the first event

since Paul Smith’s College tookover the 24,500-square-footbuilding from the APA on Jan.1, the transformation from aVisitor Interpretive Center tothe college’s version of the VICis still in its formative stages.Officials at the SUNY Collegeof Environmental Science andForestry (ESF), too, are still try-ing to define the role of theirnew Adirondack InterpretiveCenter (AIC) in Newcomb, for-

merly known as the NewcombVIC, after taking over the 6,000-square-foot building on July 1,2010 and the public program-ming on Jan. 1.After all, it was only a year

ago when then Gov. David Pa-terson announced in his budg-et address that the APA wouldbe closing the VICs in PaulSmiths and Newcomb to saveover $500,000 annually andhelp the state close a multi-bil-lion-dollar budget gap. And, as2010 progressed and the VICTransition Steering Committeewas formulating ideas to keepthe two centers open to thepublic, in one form or another,both colleges had less than ayear to come up with solidplans that would fund thebuildings’ operations.For many, Jan. 29 was an

emotional day at the Chili SkiTasting event in Paul Smiths.Event organizers from the col-lege and the VIC friends group,the Adirondack Park Institute,were hoping for a warm publicreception. The longtime volun-teers who had once assistedAPA staff with environmentaleducation programs and spe-cial events were now workingwith a new owner they don’tknow very well. Some formerVIC staff and current APA staffwere enjoying the festivities,witnessing history in the mak-ing while reminiscing about themany memories they had madethere. And the public was sim-ply curious. Susan Sweeney, Paul Smith’s

College director of human re-sources, helped organize theJan. 29 event and was takingphotographs during the day.She serves on the VIC Transi-tion Steering Committee andhas made many memories her-self at the VIC.“There is so much nostalgia

here,” Sweeney said in an inter-view the day before the event.“We want to take what is here,modify it and improve it.”This year, Paul Smith’s Col-

lege will begin transformingthe VIC from an interpretivecenter into a public buildingwith exhibits, programs andnew tenants, including theAdirondack Center for Writing,which has outgrown its officespace in the college’s adminis-tration building. In addition toenvironmental education, there

will be an emphasis on outdoorrecreation and the arts. Andnew trail events will be held onthe VIC property, which wasinitially a 2,885-acre preserveowned by the college andleased by the APA. A new leaseagreement in 2009 reduced thepreserve to about 1,400 acres.The college owns more than14,000 acres.The chili, hot drinks and cake

made for a party-type atmos-phere on Jan. 29. It showed thatthe building was slowly com-ing back to life again after sit-ting empty, save for a few main-tenance workers, for 28 days.APA staff had closed the build-ing to the public at the end ofthe day on Saturday, Oct. 9,2010 — Columbus Day week-end — so they could pack upand move out before literallygiving it to Paul Smith’s Col-lege on Jan. 1. The trails re-mained open throughout thetransition.In Newcomb, the two-phase

transition began in June 2010and finished six months later.Originally, the Paul Smiths andNewcomb buildings were ex-pected to be handed over tonew owners on Jan. 1, 2011,with the APA staff given thatlong to keep their jobs; howev-er, since the SUNY-ESF fiscalyear begins on July 1, it was de-cided to give the building to thecollege — “turn-key” style — atthat time. Therefore, June 30was the last day the APA ownedthe Newcomb VIC. APA staffcontinued to offer public pro-gramming there until Dec. 30,their last day of APA employ-ment. SUNY-ESF took over pro-gramming on Jan. 1 at the new-ly named Adirondack Interpre-tive Center, which sits on 236acres in the college-managedHuntington Wildlife Forest.Like his colleagues at Paul

Smith’s College, Paul Hai, pro-gram coordinator at SUNY-ESF’s AIC and nearby Adiron-dack Ecological Center, is alsotrying to reassure the publicthat the Newcomb building isstill open. And while the mis-

sion will change, with interpre-tation of the Adirondack Park’snatural and cultural resourcesas a focus rather than visitorservices, the college has made itclear that there are many yearsof public education left at theNewcomb facility.“We are here for the long

haul,” said Hai, who hasworked closely with VIC staffon programs since moving toNewcomb in 2008. “The APAmade a tough choice … We'rereally hoping we can lessenthat blow by keeping this cen-ter open.”In all, the APA cut eight full-

time staff positions at the VICsin December, four at each facil-

ity. Two employees from thePaul Smiths building were ableto transfer to APA headquartersin Ray Brook.Star Lake naturalist Peter

O’Shea has known many of theAPA employees since he beganleading trail walks at the PaulSmiths VIC when it opened in1989 and the Newcomb VICwhen it opened in 1990. He wasmingling with some of hisfriends at the Chili Ski Tastingevent after taking a snowshoetrip on the Boreal Life Trail. Hesaw tracks of a river otter, fish-er, red fox, two coyotes, half adozen white-tailed deer, and asnowshoe hare. A former vol-unteer, he was also one of the

curious visitors.“It’s a wonderful day,”

O’Shea said, looking around atthe lobby full of people. “They(Paul Smith’s College) havemade a wonderful start.”Although the Paul Smiths

VIC and Newcomb AIC are stillopen to the public, neither facil-ity will continue their formerrole as official New York Statevisitor centers, welcoming thetraveling public to the 6-mil-lion-acre Adirondack Park. An-nual visitation has been be-tween 20,000 and 30,000 at theNewcomb center and between60,000 and 75,000 at the PaulSmiths center.“The Adirondack Park is

now without an official visitorcenter,” O’Shea said. “So thereis something that is missingand the state will have to recti-fy.”The Newcomb AIC building

is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tues-day to Saturday, and the trailsare open daily from dawn todusk. Call (518) 582-2000 formore information. Admissionis free. The Paul Smith’s Col-lege VIC building is not cur-rently open to the public; how-ever, the trails are open dailyfrom dawn to dusk and may beused for free.

Eagles hold onto edge PatriotsBy Keith Lobdellkeith@denpubs.com

CLINTONVILLE — They knew it was coming.With a 51-39 lead at the end of the third quarter, the Beek-

mantown varsity boys basketball team had seen that theiropponents, AuSable Valley, had plenty of experience whenit came to coming back late.Sure enough, the Patriots outscored the Eagles 19-10 in

the final eight minutes, but a game-tying, buzzer-beatingthree-pointer from the hand of Ryan Lee went halfwaythrough the rim, bounced around a couple of times andthen popped out of the basket and to the ground, lettingthe Eagles escape with a 61-58 victory Feb. 3.“We were expecting the run,” Eagles head coach Ryan

Converse said after the game. “Basketball is a game of runs.AuSable is a very good team. Tonight, we were toughenough to stave off the run and win.”The Patriots, who had scored heart-stopping wins

against Saranac and Saranac Lake in the week previous,again turned a 13-point fourth quarter deficit into a two-point game with just 1:35 remaining in the fourth quarter.However, the team missed four shots in the final minute,including the shot by Lee to tie the game after Keegan Ryanhad hit the front end of a one-and-one to give the Eagles athree point lead.“We got the looks, they didn’t fall,” Patriots head coach

Jamie Douglass said after the game. “There is no give upin these guys and to get a performance like we did out ofRyan Lee off the bench on senior night was special. It wasa team effort to get back into this game.”The Eagles used a 18-2 run in the first and second quar-

ters and an 11-2 run to end the first have with a 39-23 lead.“We execute our offense in runs,” Converse said. “When

we execute properly, anyone can get going.”Against the Patriots, it was senior Tom Ryan, who scored

11 of the team’s 13 points in their opening run and sevenof the Eagles nine fourth quarter points en route to surpass-ing the 1,000-career point plateau.“We were looking for a chance to get going, and that run

kept the energy up,” said Ryan. “We knew we had a chanceif we could handle the press, and our guards did a greatjob tonight doing that.”Ryan ended with 29 points, 10 rebounds and seven

blocked shots, while Brother Keegan Ryan scored ninepoints to go with eight rebounds, including the final pointof the game after having previously missed on the front endof a one-and-one attempt.“I had the same thing happen in Moriah where I missed

on my first chance and then hit the next time up,” Keegansaid. “The last time on the line, I was just thinking thatthere was no way I was going to let my brother score his1,000th point in a loss.”Foster Ebersole added 10 points and five assists, includ-

ing two key three-pointers in the third quarter, while TylerFrennier scored nine points and recorded three steals. De-von Anderson added four points and six rebounds.For the Patriots, TJ Burl scored 24 of his 28 points in the

second half, as he and Brody Douglas scored all but two ofthe team’s 19 fourth quarter points. Burls added 10 re-bounds, three assists, three steals and four blocked shotsto the Patriots effort, while Douglas scored 16 points to fowith four steals.Jordan Coolidge scored eight points to go with five as-

sists and four steals, with Connor Manning adding fourpoints and 10 rebounds and Lee scoring two points to gowith seven offensive rebounds and two steals.

Ryan humble in milestoneBy Keith Lobdellkeith@denpubs.com

CLINTONVILLE — Tom Ryan knows what todo when he gets the basketball in his hands.He also knows who to thank for getting it

there.aRyan, the senior center for the Beekmantown

boys varsity basketball team, was quick to pointout that he had a lot of help when it came to scor-ing 1,000 career points.“There’s no way I could have done this with-

out the guards on this team,” Ryan said after theEagles game against AuSable Valley Feb. 3.“They do a great job each night getting the ballup the court and getting me the ball in a greatposition to score.”Ryan showed humility in reaching the mile-

stone point mark, with 22 of his 29 points in thegame coming directly off plays that involved apass from a teammate. Ryans baskets were in-volved in eight of his team’s 17 assists.“Tom is a consistent scorer,” Eagles head

coach Ryan Converse said after the game. “Thisis something that he has worked to achieve andsomething that he has wanted to do for a longtime.”“It’s a dream come true,” Ryan said. “I have

been working for this ever since my freshmanyear.”
