PLATTSBURGH — Keshia Clukey hasbeen named winner of the 2010 ChamplainValley Business and Professional Women’sannual Young Careerist Competition.

Clukey, a freelance journalist and a part-time substitute teacher, was recognized bythe nonprofit organization during a din-ner at the Westside Ballroom April 20. Shewon the competition after a written essay,personal interview and speech proved shewas the one who should move on to thestate level of the competition.

“I’m really surprised,” Clukey said onwinning the contest. “I entered as awhim.”

Clukey, a recent master ’s degree gradu-ate, competed against six other young en-trepreneurs from different professionalbackgrounds, after her editor convinced

her to talk to someone involved with thecompetition and submit an essay.

“I wrote the essay and then they e-mailed me telling me I was a finalist,” shesaid.

The essay was to address a senator whostands in opposition to one of ChamplainValley BPA’s platforms. The winning top-ic chose to discuss women’s rights issues,such as heart disease and ovarian cancer,that are frequently overlooked because ofmore controversial ones, such as abortion.

After the essay, the six finalists were in-vited to a dinner, at which they were inter-viewed by a judge. They were also given alist of six questions, one of which theywould have to deliver a speech on. Clukeychose work/life issues within the genders.

“Men and women have to struggle withbalancing their work and life,” she ex-plained.

Clukey also discussed how employers

can help ease these issues by providingdaycare or allowing employees to workfrom home.

“I was so nervous,” she said.However, she looked to her past experi-

ence as a public speaker and writer to helpdeliver her speech, which will now be readat an upcoming state level BPW competi-tion.

“It’s the same speech [at the state lev-el],” she said. “But, I’m definitely going totweak it.”

“Oh and practice, practice, practice,”she added.

Kerry Haley, executive director of theFoundation of CVPH Medical Center, wasselected as runner-up for the local compe-tition. If Clukey is unable to attend thestate competition, Haley will be able totake her place.

Michael O’Keefe is an intern with the State Uni-versity of New York at Plattsburgh.

Clukey named BPW Young Careerist winner

April brought some early wonder-ful weather but as the monthprogressed cold temperatures

returned much to the dismay of all of us.My schedule was quite busy as usual. I

attended the Heart WalkBreakfast event which wasvery well attended and fo-cused on healthy living andimproved ways for ahealthier way of life. Wecontinue to meet on May-or ’s Cup & Regatta details.I participated in a Knockand Talk with members ofthe College/City Coalitionin which we knocked on thedoors of college students inthe center city area and discussed commonissues facing all of us. It was a very posi-tive experience. I attended the Annual Col-lege Recognition Day event that recog-nizes the outstanding volunteer efforts inour community by PSUC students. I amvery proud of the efforts by college stu-dents in assisting local residents and or-ganizations.

I had the enjoyment of being one of threejudges for a food tasting at PlattsburghState at an event like the Iron Chef TV pro-

gram which a three-person student teamutilized a list of ingredients and had anhour-and-a-half to prepare two dishes fortaste and judging. The two teams in the fi-nals prepared excellent dishes and the

scoring was so close because of thegreat job they both did. I thor-oughly enjoyed the evening.

The City of Plattsburgh Half-Marathon was held and the suc-cess of this first time event was be-yond expectations! Over 400 run-ners participated with almost halfrunning their first race and manyfrom outside the area. Over$25,000 was raised for Team Foxfor Parkinson’s Research which isa testament to all involved. The

success of this event would not have oc-curred without the many volunteers, thegenerous sponsors, public interest, andcity department employee support. Spe-cial kudos go to Stephanie Desautels, JenBoyer, and Steve Peters. Next year will bebigger and better!

As we move into May, the good weatherwill finally arrive and with it come newcity work responsibilities. We will contin-ue to do our best in providing the servicesour residents expect. Thanks!

The town of Plattsburgh is in the finalstages of producing a new Compre-hensive Master Plan. We were able to

secure some grant funding but we also had tobudget local funds to cre-ate a quality product thatwill meet our short- andlong-term goals.

During the past twoyears, the Comprehen-sive Land Use PlanningCommittee worked longand hard to achieve thechallenge given to them.The CLUPC also reachedout to the community, anumber of times, to seektheir involvement and input. The plan hasbeen the collaborative effort of a cross sectionof the town with much input and feedback.

A well-designed master plan defines thevision for the future of a municipality and of-fers a process to achieve the stated objectives.The planning process enabled us to gatherstatistical data, local feedback and identifyneeds and concerns. With the guidance andinput of our consultant, the written docu-ment will become a tool that will drive futuredecision making and support our effort towin grants. A comprehensive master plan is

a requirement when applying for grants andfunding for needed projects. Most importantthough, it will help us create a communitythat is valued by those who live here and

modeled by others.I’m very proud of the work that has

been accomplished by the CLUPC as wellas the leadership shown by Phil Von Bar-gen in the Planning Department, com-mittee chair Dr. Colin Read and consult-ant Stewart Messinger.

Though this phase is nearing comple-tion, our work is just beginning. We mustalso develop a comprehensive masterplan for our Parks and Recreation De-partment and review and update ourtown codes and ordinances.

The sustainability of the North Country aswell as the town of Plattsburgh cannot be leftto chance or short-term decision making. Agood planning process process helps us learnabout who we are, what we need to do tomeet the needs of our community and howwe will transition into a sustainable future.We know where we are going and how to getthere!

Thank you to those who have worked onthe plan and contributed their thoughts andideas during the planning phase.

Funding to help improvequality of patient careBByy JJeerreemmiiaahh SS.. PPaappiinneeaauujeremiah@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — Planned Parent-hood of the North Country New YorkInc. was recently awarded the 2010Robyn Menin Grant for Promoting In-genuity in Risk and Quality Manage-ment from the Planned ParenthoodFederation of America. The $50,000grant is given annually to an affiliatefor “innovative work in risk and qual-ity management.”

Martha E. Stahl, vice president of ex-ternal affairs for PPNCNY, said thegrant will be used to create “an inter-active health literacy software tool thatwill assess the accessibility of the orga-nization’s written materials to patients

with limited literacy.”“The whole purpose of it is to make

sure that our written materials are ac-cessible and are written at a readinglevel that’s appropriate for our gener-al population,” said Stahl. “It’s as sim-ple as instead of using a medical termfor a growth, for example, calling it a‘bump’ or something like that. It will bea more comprehensive format.”

Over the past few years, PPNCNYhas been working with a statewide or-ganization called Family Planning toassess how PPNCNY has been doing interms of cultural competency, saidStahl. With other Planned Parenthoodaffiliates, issues such as bilingual sig-nage or reading materials are moreprevalent issues. However, in theNorth Country, patient reading com-prehension was found to be amongchief concerns.

“We self-identified that as an areawhere we needed to do some work,”said Stahl.

Amy Valentine, coordinator of quali-ty assurance and risk management forPPNCNY, said the organization willwork locally with a software designerto create the program, which will beutilized in Microsoft Word much like aspell check or grammar check program.The software will search for and re-place difficult terms — both health-re-lated and otherwise — as well as calcu-late readability and create detailed re-ports. In the end, PPNCNY will ownthe rights to the program and create astyle guide so it will be able to shareboth across the Planned Parenthoodfederation.

“What we’ll have done is created adictionary of all types of other wordswe can use to substitute to difficult lan-

guage,” said Valentine. “This tool willmake our printed materials much morereadable for our patient population,very specific to women’s reproductivehealth.”

Stahl said she expects the softwareprogram to be in the early testing phas-es sometime next year. Once the pro-gram is formally implemented in thePlattsburgh office, it will be madeavailable to other Planned Parenthoodlocations.

“This is exciting,” Stahl said of thegrant and the new program. “There areabout 88 affiliates that will be able totake advantage of this work. But, we’llbe able to use it first. It’s great.”

“This will add to the quality care thatwe provide to our patients which is al-ways at the forefront of Planned Par-enthood’s mission,” added Valentine.“It’s quite the honor.”

PLATTSBURGH — Arnie’s Restauranthas become synonymous with down-town Plattsburgh. However, it didn’thappen overnight.

The business opened its doors on May1, 1951, then located on Charlotte Street— known today as S. Peru Street. Arnold“Arnie” Pavone, along with his wife,Betty, and mother, Natalina, ran themodest business for more than five yearsin that location, he said, before movingto its current location on Margaret Street.

“We moved here in August 1956,” saidPavone, as he sat at a table in his busi-ness’ upstairs dining room. “It was avery good decision.”

The move put the Pavone family in theheart of downtown, which, in the 1950s,

was a bustling community. Serving theirsignature authentic Italian cuisine, thebusiness thrived for many years andcontinues to do so to this day, despitelosing many neighboring businesses inthe mid-1970s.

“In 1974, the mall was built and a lotof downtown merchants moved outthere,” recalled Pavone.

Though Pavone admits he was con-cerned what it meant for his family-owned business, he had faith his latemother ’s recipes, in which she lives onthrough today, would see him throughan uncertain time. And, he was right.

Today, Pavone and his wife, now 83and 82, respectively, still run Arnie’swith the help of three of their sons and agrandson, keeping the “family” in “fam-ily business.” As for his customers,Pavone said he considers them part of

his extended family.“Families have grown up with us,”

said Pavone. “Some of them have comein when they’re in high school, laterwhen they’re married and come backwith their children. Now, we’re even see-ing their grandchildren and great-

grandchildren.”Why does Pavone keep working well

after many men his age would have re-tired? It’s the connection he makes withpeople everyday.

“It becomes part of your daily rou-tine,” he said. “It’s a good feeling.”

PLATTSBURGH — The soundof acoustic guitars being playedis familiar to the people ofPalmer Street.

Since 1988, the Unitarian Uni-versalist Fellowship has openedits doors to musicians on Fridayevenings from October throughJune, through the Palmer StreetCoffeehouse.

Jody Lawson has been coordi-nating the coffeehouse for thepast eight years and said its a“nice, family-friendly” venuethat features many local per-formers, “playing a variety ofmusic.” It’s so special, she said, that some performers even come from far away.

“We primarily provide a venue for regional artists to play and then we bring inother artists from afar just to keep the line-up fresh,” Lawson explained. “We havemany fabulous performers come from all over this region and New England.”

“Anytime someone comes over to play, they find the acoustics are just absolute-ly unbelievable and they want to come back,” she added. “It’s a great venue.”

The coffeehouse format is attractive to many acoustic per-formers, said Lawson, because it brings them closer to their au-dience.

“When we do the coffeehouse, the inside [of the church] total-ly gets transformed,” said Lawson, noting the arrangement oftables and chairs makes for a more intimate atmosphere. “And,we have apple pie and some very good coffee.”

The performances — which are made possible, in part, withfunding from the New York State Council on the Arts Decen-tralization Program, administered by the North Country Cul-tural Center for the Arts — are also ones that bring in peoplefrom families with young children to seniors.

“It reaches the whole age spectrum,” said Lawson. “We espe-cially love it when we have parents bringing their kids.”

The Palmer Street Coffeehouse season is winding down withonly two performances left before the start of summer.

Hometown favorites “Beartracks” — a country and bluegrassmusical trio consisting of Junior Barber, Tom Venne, and JulieVenne Hogan — are scheduled to perform this Friday, May 7.

Singer/songwriter duo Eddy and Kim Lawrence will close the season in June.“Beartracks are wildly popular,” said Lawson, “and Eddy and Kim have a loy-

al following, too. They’re really fun and a little quirky.”This Friday’s performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. Doors will open at 7 p.m. Ad-

mission is $10 and refreshments will be available. For more information, contact Lawson at 561-9418.
